National Disaster Consciousness Month

July is "National Disaster Consciousness Month" that aims to provide public awareness on what to do or how to lessen the risks brought by these naturally occurring disasters and increasing incidents of emergencies. It is a month long observation that teaches the importance of disaster prevention, mitigation and preparedness.

Several events and activities will be held including series of parades and motorcade. Emergency drills will be conducted as well in most public schools and government establishments. As a matter of fact, my former school had their dry run activities yesterday to promote the "National Disaster Consciousness Month"

"Ligtas Na Bayan, Maunlad na Pamayanan" (Safe Town, Prosperous Community) is the event's theme this year. The event is supported by the City government and they even lend their Firetruck for this special Dry run activity.

Here are students performing their emergency drills. It is very important for these kids to pay more attention to this activity and they really have to take this seriously especially on what happened last week. There was a fire accident in San Sebastian College , a week before this activity. No one was hurt but the building was completely ruined.

San Sebastian College on Fire.

Accidents may occur on your most unexpected time and place so we really have to be aware and alert. It is very important that we have Safe Site Facilities to ensure our safety. All establishments should follow the safety rules. They should have an emergency exit and fire extinguishers located at random places. It is very important as well that they hire professionals or security specialist to observe the safety of their facilities. An abandoned place may also not be as safe as what we think it is. There might be some harmful elements that will bring hazard to many. That's why it is very ideal to leave this job to the experts to provide the best of their service and remove those harmful elements and lessen the risk of danger.

Keep in mind guys that SAFETY should always be our top most priority that anything else.

Have a great day and Happy Blogging!

(2006), and the current one which is the Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated.

THE MOST SPOOKY FRIENDLY CARTOON

"CASPER THE FRIENDLY GHOST"

I think nobody is as friendliest as our dear Casper right? As his name indicates, he is a ghost, but is quite personable. According to the 1995 feature film Casper, his family name is McFadden, making his "full" name Casper McFadden.Given that Casper is depicted as a ghostly little boy, there is a controversy among fans of the series about whether or not he is a dead child. Early Casper cartoons seemed to suggest this, as they portrayed him "living" beside a gravestone. Casper was created in the late 1930s. Casper is a cute ghost-child with a New York accent, who inhabits a haunted house along with a community of adult ghosts who delight in scaring the living. Casper, however, is a noncomformist among ghosts: he would prefer to make friends with people. Numerous versions of casper were released and several films were made as well.

Here are some cartoons who failed to make it on our list but deserving enough to be mentioned: Groovie Goolies , Sabrina The Teenage Witch, Beetlejuice (1989), and Monster High

TOP FIVE WORLD'S MOST POPULAR GHOST TOWNS

Are you guys interested with Ghost tows and to discover the history behind them? When you ghost town, it doesn't literally means that there are ghosts residing in this place, ghost towns are abandoned villages, towns or cities. A town often becomes a ghost town because the economic activity that supported it has failed, or due to natural or human-caused disasters such as floods, government actions, uncontrolled lawlessness, war, or nuclear disasters. Today, most ghost towns served as main tourist attractions.
Listed below are five of the most popular ghost towns in the world. Have fun!

TOP FIVE WORLD'S MOST POPULAR GHOST TOWNS
TOP 5 WORLD'S MOST POPULAR GHOST TOWN
"KAYAKOY , TURKEY"
The ghost town, now preserved as a museum village, consists of hundreds of rundown but still mostly intact Greek-style houses and churches which cover a small mountainside and serve as a stopping place for tourists visiting Fethiye and nearby Ölüdeniz. It was built on the site of the ancient city of Carmylessus in the 18th century. It experienced a renewal after nearby Fethiye (known as Makri) was devastated by an earthquake in 1856 and a major fire in 1885. After the Greco-Turkish War, Kayaköy was largely abandoned after a population exchange agreement was signed by the Turkish and Greek governments in 1923. Many of the buildings were damaged in the 1957 Fethiye earthquake. Today Kayaköy village serves as a museum and is a historical monument. Around 500 houses remain as ruins and are under the protection of the Turkish government, including two Greek Orthodox Churches, which remain the most important sights of the ghost town.

TOP 4 WORLD'S MOST POPULAR GHOST TOWN
"CENTRALIA , PENNSYLVANIA"
Centralia is a borough and ghost town in Columbia County, Pennsylvania, United States. It is more like a real version of Silent Hill in terms of the vicinity and in fact, the game itself was inspired by Centralia. Its population has dwindled from over 1,000 residents in 1981 to 12 in 2005, 9 in 2007, and 10 in 2010, as a result of a mine fire burning beneath the borough since 1962. Very few homes remain standing in Centralia; most of the abandoned buildings have been demolished by the Columbia County Redevelopment Authority or nature. At a casual glance, the area now appears to be a field with many paved streets running through it. The town's four cemeteries—including one on the hilltop that has smoke rising around and out of it—are maintained in good condition.The underground fire is still burning and may continue to do so for 250 more years.

TOP 3 WORLD'S MOST POPULAR GHOST TOWN
"BODIE , CALIFORNIA"
Bodie is a ghost town in the Bodie Hills east of the Sierra Nevada mountain range in Mono County, California, United States. The ghost town has been administered by California State Parks since becoming a state historic park in 1962, and receives about 200,000 visitors yearly. Actually, the town reminds me of the film "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre". Bodie began as a mining camp of little note following the discovery of gold in 1859 by a group of prospectors. In 1876, the Standard Company discovered a profitable deposit of gold-bearing ore, which transformed Bodie from an isolated mining camp comprising a few prospectors and company employees to a Wild West boomtown. The first signs of decline appeared in 1880 and became obvious towards the end of the year. Promising mining booms in Butte, Montana; Tombstone, Arizona; and Utah lured men away from Bodie. The first signs of an official decline occurred in 1912 with the printing of the last Bodie newspaper, The Bodie Miner. n 1917, the Bodie Railway was abandoned and its iron tracks were scrapped. The last mine closed in 1942, due to War Production Board order L-208, shutting down all nonessential gold mines in the United States. The first label of Bodie as a "ghost town" was in 1915.

TOP 2 WORLD'S MOST POPULAR GHOST TOWN
"GUNKANJIMA, JAPAN"
Also known as Hashima Island. Gunkanjima is one among 505 uninhabited islands in the Nagasaki Prefecture about 15 kilometers from Nagasaki itself. The island was populated from 1887 to 1974 as a coal mining facility. The island's most notable features are the abandoned concrete buildings and the sea wall surrounding it. It is known for its coal mines and their operation during the industrialization of Japan. Mitsubishi bought the island in 1890 and began the project, the aim of which was retrieving coal from undersea mines. As petroleum replaced coal in Japan in the 1960s, coal mines began shutting down all over the country, and Hashima's mines were no exception. Mitsubishi officially announced the closing of the mine in 1974, and today it is empty and bare, which is why it is called Ghost Island.

THE WORLD'S MOST POPULAR GHOST TOWN
"PRIPYAT, UKRAINE"
Pripyat is a ghost town near the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, within the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone. Pripyat was founded in 1970 to house workers for the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. It was officially proclaimed a city in 1979 but was abandoned in 1986 following the Chernobyl disaster.Access to Pripyat, unlike cities of military importance, was not restricted before the disaster as nuclear power stations were seen by the Soviet Union as safer than other types of power plants. Nuclear power stations were presented as being an achievement of Soviet engineering, where nuclear power was harnessed for peaceful projects. After the disaster the city of Pripyat was evacuated in two days. Many of the building interiors in Pripyat have been vandalised and ransacked over the years. Because the buildings have not been maintained since 1986, the roofs leak, and in the springtime the rooms are flooded with water. Trees can be seen growing on roofs and even inside the buildings. One notable landmark often featured in photographs of the city, video games (such as Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series) and visible from aerial-imaging websites such as Google Maps, is the long-abandoned ferris wheel located in the Pripyat amusement park.

TOP FIVE MOST EXPENSIVE CLASSIC CARS

This is a repost of my April 2008 entry. I did some revision though. Classic cars are like the gold coins or antique materials, the older the model, the higher the value it gets. History behind this cars is most likely the reason why serious collectors get excited enough about a classic car and for them to pay huge amounts for it. Listed below are five of the most expensive classic cars in the world
TOP FIVE MOST EXPENSIVE CLASSIC CARS

TOP 5 MOST EXPENSIVE CLASSIC CAR
"1932 ALPHA ROMEO TIPO B"
($5.6 MILLION)


Unofficially known as the P3 or Monoposto, the Alfa Romeo Tipo B was conceived for the 1932 GP Formula 1 season and it became the first single-seater vehicle on the tour. The supercharged 2.6-liter engine had eight cylinders. One of the engine's chief assets was the low-speed torque.

The 1932 season was basically dominated by the Alfa Romeo, winning five major races. Only six of those cars were ever built and in 1933 they were entrusted to Ferrari, which then handled the racing part. A rare 1932 Alfa Romeo Tipo B was recently purchased for the affordable price of $5.6 million.The most expensive ride ever sold.

TOP 4 MOST EXPENSIVE CLASSIC CAR
"1962 FERRARI 330 TRI/LM"
($6.5 MILLION)

In the late 1950s, Ferrari dominated international racing events with its Testarossa series of front-engined sports cars. In 1962, new rules were applied for LeMans, which forced manufacturers to use four-cylinder engines. The 330 TRI/LM became the most powerful Testarossa and also the last.

Model 0808 won the 1962 LeMans event before being sold by Ferrari to another team. After one race in which it was damaged, it was sold to Hisashi Okada, who drove the car in New York City for a decade. Following complete restoration and a stint in a French collection, it resurfaced in an August 2002 auction and was sold for $6.5 million.

TOP 3 MOST EXPENSIVE CLASSIC CAR
"1931 TYPE 41 BUGATTI ROYALE"
($8.7 MILLION)
Whereas other manufacturers were interested in performance, Bugatti was all about luxury. Using the finest woods, metals and leathers, it was made to impress and provided comfort for the very rich. A massive car with its 14-foot long chassis, this model weighs 3.5 tons.

Back in a time when cars could be purchased for a few hundred dollars, the Bugatti Royale cost $42,000 and only six were ever built. In 1987, four thousand people gathered at Christie's in London and witnessed this 1931 Type 41 Bugatti Royale being auctioned off. It went for $8.7 million.


TOP 2 MOST EXPENSIVE CLASSIC CAR
"1962 FERRARI 250 GTO"
($16.6 MILLION)
The beauty of the 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO is that it's a combination of road and racecar. The shape favors aerodynamics while boasting a sexiness that is welcome on the streets. But it's definitely a racecar first and foremost, and requires constant attention, funds and repairs. The engine, which can produce up to 300 horsepower, established Ferrari as the racing champion of the world.

The interior of the 250 GTO is plain; there isn't even carpeting. But with only 40 models made, it's one of the most rare Ferraris in the world. A British garage held on to the one it had acquired cheaply in the '70s and sold it to a Japanese businessman in 1990 for $16.6 million.

THE MOST EXPENSIVE CLASSIC CAR
"1954 MERCEDES W 196"
($24 MILLION)
The holy grail of racing cars, it was introduced at the 1954 French Grand Prix at Reims, and went on to dominate Formula 1 racing for both the 1954 and 1955 seasons. What made the automobile so special was its revolutionary valve system, which utilized positive control without having to resort to springs.

This car was raced by legendary drivers Juan Manuel Fangio and Stirling Moss before ending up in a museum in the 1980s. The car was sold for a couple of millions to finance renovations at the museum, and sold again in 1990 to a French industrialist for $24 million. A German businessman is currently the owner; he reportedly paid less then half the amount in the late '90s.

In later eras the girl group template would be applied to disco, contemporary R&B, and country-based formats as well as pop.

They were the most commercially successful of Motown's acts and are, to date, America's most successful vocal group with 12 number one singles on the Billboard Hot 100. The Supremes rivaled The Beatles in worldwide popularity, and their success made it possible for future African American R&B and soul musicians to find mainstream success. Founding members Florence Ballard, Mary Wilson, Diana Ross, and Betty McGlown. During the mid-1960s, The Supremes achieved mainstream success with Ross as lead singer. In 1967, Motown president Berry Gordy renamed the group Diana Ross & the Supremes, and replaced Ballard with Cindy Birdsong. Ross left to pursue a solo career in 1970 and was replaced by Jean Terrell, at which point the group's name reverted to The Supremes. After 1972, the lineup changed more frequently; Lynda Laurence, Scherrie Payne, and Susaye Greene all became members of the group during the mid-1970s. The Supremes disbanded in 1977 after an 18-year run.
