The world is full of secret and exclusive places that we either don’t know about, or simply couldn’t visit if we wanted to. This list takes a look at ten of the most significant places around the world that are closed to the general public or are virtually impossible for the general public to visit.

Mezhgorye is a closed town in Russia which is believed to house people working on the highly secret Mount Yamantaw. The town was founded in 1979. Mount Yamantaw stands at 1,640 metres (5,381 ft) and is the highest mountain in the southern Urals. Along with Kosvinsky Mountain (600 km to the north), it is suspected by the United States of being a large secret nuclear facility and/or bunker. Large excavation projects have been observed by U.S. satellite imagery as recently as the late 1990s, during the time of Boris Yeltsin’s pro-Western government after the fall of the Soviet Union. Two garrisons, Beloretsk-15 and Beloretsk-16, were built on top of the facility. Repeated U.S. questions have yielded several different responses from the Russian government regarding Mount Yamantaw. They have said it is a mining site, a repository for Russian treasures, a food storage area, and a bunker for leaders in case of nuclear war.

Vatican Secret Archives

This has been mentioned on a previous list – the archives are not secret despite their names. You can view any document you wish. But you cannot enter the archive. You must submit your request for a document and it will be supplied to you. Despite the foolishness of the recent junk from Ron Howard and Dan Brown (Angels and Demons) the documents are all available and there are no copies of suppressed scientific theories or great works that were banned. The only documents you can’t access are those which are not yet 75 years old (in order to protect diplomatic and governmental information). Indexes are available for people who want to see if a document exists in the archives. The Vatican Secret Archives have been estimated to contain 52 miles (84 km) of shelving, and there are 35,000 volumes in the selective catalogue alone.

Club 33

Contrary to popular belief, Disneyland has a full liquor license which is used when the place closes down to the general public to accommodate private parties. But there is one place in Disneyland that is always open to sell booze: Club 33. Club 33 is a private club located in the heart of the New Orleans Square section of Disneyland. Officially maintained as a secret feature of the theme park, the entrance of the club is located next to the Blue Bayou Restaurant at “33 Royal Street” with the entrance recognizable by an ornate address plate with the number 33 engraved on it. Fees for joining range from 10 – 30 thousand US dollars and membership comes with a car park. If you want to join the club, you have to go to the end of the fourteen year waiting list.

Moscow Metro-2

Metro-2 in Moscow, Russia is a purported secret underground metro system which parallels the public Moscow Metro. The system was built supposedly during (or from) the time of Stalin and codenamed D-6 by the KGB. Russian journalists have reported that the existence of Metro-2 is neither confirmed nor denied by the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation (FSB) or the Moscow Metro administration. The length of Metro-2 is rumored to exceed even that of the “civil” (i.e. public) Metro. (It is said to have 4 lines and lie 50 to 200 m deep. It is said to connect the Kremlin with the FSB headquarters, the government airport at Vnukovo-2, and an underground town at Ramenki, in addition to other locations of national importance. Needless to say, the fact that no one confirms its existence makes it pretty difficult to visit.

6

White’s Gentlemen’s Club

White’s is the most exclusive English gentlemen’s club. It was founded in 1693 by Italian Francesco Bianco (Francis White) to sell the newly discovered hot chocolate but eventually became a typical (but extremely private) gentlemen’s club. The club is famous for its “betting book” in which members make bizarre gambles. The most famous of which is a 3,000 pound bet on which of two raindrops would slide down the window first. So why is this club on the list? Women are excluded completely from membership, so that is half our audience out. Secondly, men who want to join this exclusive club can only do so if invited by a sitting member who has the support of two other members. Unless you are a member of royalty, or are extremely powerful in politics or the arts, you are unlikely to ever see the exclusive White’s invitation.

5

Area 51

I have put this so high on the list because it is the one place most readers are likely to expect to see. Area 51 is a nickname for a military base that is located in the southern portion of Nevada in the western United States, 83 miles (133 km) north-northwest of downtown Las Vegas. Situated at its center, on the southern shore of Groom Lake, is a large secretive military airfield. The base’s primary purpose is to support development and testing of experimental aircraft and weapons systems. The intense secrecy surrounding the base, the very existence of which the U.S. government barely acknowledges, has made it the frequent subject of conspiracy theories and a central component to unidentified flying object (UFO) folklore. The sign above states that deadly force can be used if people enter the Area 51 zone.

Room 39

Room 39 or Bureau 39 is arguably one of the most secretive organizations in North Korea that seeks ways to obtain foreign currency for Kim Jong-il, North Korea’s Chairman of the National Defense Commission. Room 39 was established in the late 1970s. It has been described as the lynchpin of the North’s so-called “court economy” centered on the dynastic Kim family. It is unknown how the name originated. Very little is known about Room 39 due to the secretive nature surrounding the organization, but it is widely speculated that the organization uses 10 to 20 bank accounts in China and Switzerland for the purposes of counterfeiting, money laundering, and other illicit transactions. It is also alleged that Room 39 is involved in drug smuggling and illicit weapon sales. It is known, however, that the organization has 120 foreign trade companies under its jurisdiction and is under the direct control of Kim Jong-il. North Korea has denied taking part in any illegal activities. Room 39 is believed to be located inside a ruling Workers’ Party building in Pyongyang, the capital city of North Korea.

Ise Grand Shrine

The Ise Grand Shrine in Japan (which is actually a series of over 100 shrines) is the most sacred shrine in Japan. It is dedicated to Amaterasu (the Sun goddess) and has been in existence since 4BC. The main shrine is alleged to hold the most important item in Japan’s imperial history: the Naikū (the mirror from Japanese mythology which eventually ended up in the hands of the first emperors). The shrine is demolished and rebuilt every 20 years in keeping with the Shinto idea of death and rebirth (the next rebuilding will be in 2013). This ranks very high on the list of places you will never go because the only person who can enter is the priest or priestess and he must be a member of the Japanese imperial family. So unless we have a Japanese prince or princess reading the site, no one here will ever see anything more than the thatched roof of the Ise Grand Shrine.

2

Mount Weather Emergency Operations Center

This is a place that is not only closed to the public, but it is a place that the public hope to never have to enter! In most “end of the world” films we see these days, there is always a highly classified area where US government officials and a chosen few get to go in the hopes that they can escape the impending doom. The Mount Weather Emergency Operations Center is the real thing. It was set up in the 1950s due to the cold war but continues to operate today. It is a “last hope” area. For obvious reasons its operations are highly classified. It is run by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The center is already functioning and even in small local disasters in the US, much of the telecommunications traffic is routed through it.

RAF Menwith Hill

RAF Menwith Hill is a British military base with connections to the global ECHELON spy network. The site contains an extensive satellite ground station and is a communications intercept and missile warning site and has been described as the largest electronic monitoring station in the world. The site acts as a ground station for a number of satellites operated by the US National Reconnaissance Office, on behalf of the US National Security Agency, with antennae contained in a large number of highly distinctive white radomes, and is alleged to be an element of the ECHELON system. ECHELON was reportedly created to monitor the military and diplomatic communications of the Soviet Union and its Eastern Bloc allies during the Cold War in the early 1960s, but since the end of the Cold War it is believed to search also for hints of terrorist plots, drug dealers’ plans, and political and diplomatic intelligence. It has also been involved in reports of commercial espionage and is believed to filter all telephone and radio communications in the nations which host it – an extreme violation of privacy.

Kabar mengejutkan datang dari Menteri Keuangan Sri Mulyani Indrawati. Dalam waktu dekat, dia akan meninggalkan posisinya sebagai menteri karena ditawari menjadi Direktur Pelaksana Bank Dunia.

Kabar itu pun disikapi beragam oleh banyak pihak. Ada yang beranggapan bahwa tawaran tersebut membawa nama harum bangsa, namun ada juga yang beranggapan Sri tidak nasionalis karena lebih memilih posisi tersebut ketimbang tetap berjuang di Tanah Air.

Sri Mulyani memang dikenal sebagai primadona Indonesia. Kebijakannya yang diambil dinilai brilian. Bahkan, secara terang-terangan, Presiden Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY) memuji kinerja Ani (sapaan Sri Mulyani) karena mampu membawa Indonesia keluar dari krisis dunia yang terjadi beberapa waktu lalu.

Ani lahir di Tanjung Karang, Lampung, 26 Agustus 48 tahun silam. Selulusnya dari SMA, Ani mengeyam pendidikan di Fakultas Ekonomi Universitas Indonesia, tepatnya pada 1981. Setelah lima tahun menuntut ilmu di Kampus Kuning, Ani akhirnya hijrah ke Negeri Paman Sam dua tahun setelah lulus.

Kala itu, Ani mengambil gelar Master of Science of Policy Economics di Illinois Urbana Campaign hingga tahun 1990. Tak langsung pulang kampung dan beraktivitas di Dalam Negeri, tetapi Ani memilih untuk memantapkan gelar akademisnya dengan mengambil program doktor di kampus yang sama.

Segudang pekerjaan pernah dilakoni Ani. Di antaranya. pernah menjadi asisten dosen di Fakultas Ekonomi Universitas Indonesia, asisten profesor di University Illionis, Staf Ahli bidang kebijakan di Bappenas, Anggota Kelompok kerja di BKKBN, hingga menjabat sebagai Kepala di Lembaga Penyelidikan Ekonomi dan Masyarakat (LPEM) di Universitas Indonesia.

Tak disangka, dengan pengalamannya itu membuat jabatan Ani semakin melambung tinggi. Dia pun dipercaya mengemban posisi penting di lembaga pemerintah. Diawali pada tahun 1999, Ani dipercaya menjadi Dewan Ekonomi Nasional, kemudian dia kembali pergi ke Amerika Serikat untuk berkarir menjadi konsultan USAid di Atalanta dan Executive Director International Moneter Found (IMF).

Saat kembali ke Tanah Air, Ani diberi kepercayaan menjadi Menteri Perencanaan Pembangunan/Kepala Bappenas di Kabinet Indonesia Bersatu. Kemudian dipercaya menggantikan Jusuf Anwar sebagai Menteri Keuangan hingga Kabinet Indonesia Bersatu jilid dua berlangsung saat ini.

Disela kesibukannya, Ani masih memiliki kesadaran sebagai manusia. Dia pun kerap menyisihkan waktunya bersama sang suami Tonny Sumartono, dan ketiga anaknya Dewinta Illiana, Adwin Haryo Indrawan, serta Luqman Indra Pambudi.

Siapa sangka, seorang perempuan yang lahir di sebuah desa ini mampu dikenal masyarakat dunia khususnya para ekonom. Bahkan, Ani juga pernah diberikan penghargaan sebagai salah satu perempuan yang berpengaruh di dunia. Sejajar dengan Oprah Winfrey. Kini, Ani kembali akan pergi dari Tanah Air dan berkantor di Washington DC untuk turut serta membangun perekonomian dunia.

Salar de Uyuni merupakan danau garam terluas di dunia (10.582km2)

Salar de Uyuni terletak di Departemen Potosi dan Oruro, Bolivia bagian tenggara, dekat puncak Andes, pada ketinggian 3650 m.

Sekitar 40.000 tahun yang lalu, danau ini merupakan bagian dari Danau Michin, danau besar di masa prasejarah. Ketika mengering, terdapat 2 danau yang tersisa, yakni Danau Poopó dan Uru Uru, serta 2 gurun garam terbesar, Salar de Coipasa dan Salar de Uyuni.

Diperkirakan, Salar de Uyuni mengandung 10 milyar ton garam, dan kurang dari sekitar 25.000 ton garam diperoleh tiap tahun. Setiap bulan November, Salar de Uyuni menjadi daerah hunian bagi 3 spesies burung flamingo di Amerika Selatan: burung flamingo chili, andes, dan James. Salar de Uyuni adalah daerah tujuan wisata terkenal.

Situasi terjepit tak jarang memaksa manusia untuk melakukan hal-hal aneh dan kadang tak masuk akal, termasuk yang dilakukan oleh seorang pria Cina ini yang bisa melukis kaligrafi dengan air matanya.






Ru Anting (56 tahun) dari Luoyang, Provinsi Henan, bisa mengisap air lewat hidungnya lantas menyemprotkannya melalui pembuluh air matanya.

Belum lama ini ia mendemonstrasikan kepiawaiannya itu di taman Lotus World di Kota Shanshui, Guangdong, tempat dia menulis empat karakter, 'Fu Ru Dong Hai' (keberuntungan seluas lautan), pada sebuah papan yang ditutupi dengan kertas merah.

Kepada China News Network Ru mengatakan, ia menemukan bakat uniknya tersebut saat semasih kanak-kanak ketika berenang di sungai.

"Terkadang saya tersedak air saat berenang, dan ketika secara tak sengaja saya menemukan air yang saya isap itu dapat disemprotkan lewat mata saya, teman-teman saya kaget melihatnya," kata dia.

Namun bakat itu belum tersiar sampai pada 1990-an -- manakala Ru kehilangan pekerjaan di sebuah pabrik pupuk setempat setelah bekerja 20 tahun -- dan dia mulai mengembangkan bakat anehnya itu.

"Pada saat itu saya mulai melatih diri dan mengasah kemampuan semprotan mata saya," ucap dia, menjelaskan.

Setelah berlatih keras selama tiga tahun, dia menemukan dirinya mampu menembakkan air dengan akurat sejauh lebih kurang tiga meter dari matanya.

2. Jika sedang datang bulan atau mens, sebaiknya sesering mungkin mengganti pembalut. Jangan sampai pembalut Anda menempel karena dipakai seharian. Ini bisa mengganggu kebersihan vagina.

3. Sesudah berhubungan seks, bagian luar vagina sebaiknya dibersihkan dengan sabun antiseptik khusus vagina.

4. Gantilah celana dalam sekurang-kurangnya 2-3 kali sehari. Atau juga dianjurkan untuk tidak memakai celana dalam saat tidur pada malam hari, agar memberikan udara lebih bebas pada vagina Anda.

5. Sebaiknya gunakan celana dalam berbahan katun yang bisa menyerap keringat. Jangan menggunakan panty liner sepanjang hari, cukup gunakan untuk 2-3 jam selama sehari.

6. Bagi wanita yang sudah melakukan hubungan seksual dan sudah pernah melahirkan, dianjurkan untuk melakukan pap smear setahun sekali. Bagi yang sudah menopouse dianjurkan melakukan pap smear 2-3 tahun sekali.

CIFOR Director General Frances Seymour gives a keynote address at the International Union of Forest Research Organizations’ World Congress in Seoul on August 24.

Forestry scientists need to think big, act fast and communicate better if their work is to have an impact on global climate change negotiations, CIFOR Director General Frances Seymour said in a keynote address at an international forestry conference.
'We've got to get out there in climate-related policy arenas and practitioner communities and push the research results that we already have in hand,' she said at the International Union of Forest Research Organizations' World Congress in Seoul on August 24, which was attended by about 3000 scientists and other experts from around the world.
Scientists estimate that deforestation and forest degradation account for between 12 and 18 percent of annual greenhouse gas emissions worldwide. At the same time, studies have shown that healthy forests have the potential to absorb about 15 percent of humankind's carbon emissions.
While deforestation and forest degradation make efforts to curb climate change more difficult, forest conservation and expansion offer positive opportunities. That is why there is so much interest in reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation – REDD+ – which has the potential to deliver large cuts in carbon emissions at a low cost.
Ms Seymour said that new research on REDD needs to focus on empirical analysis of what actually happens as REDD policies and projects move from ideas to implementation on the ground. She said it was crucial for the research community to establish how REDD policies and programmes can reduce emissions while also being equitable.
'Under what conditions, if any, can policies and programmes to promote forest-related climate adaptation strategies be effective in promoting local and societal resilience, while also being equitable in the distribution of costs and benefits across different stakeholder groups?' she said.
'In the new context of climate change, we need to understand the institutions and governance mechanisms needed to underpin solutions that yield effective, efficient and equitable outcomes. How can REDD and adaptation schemes find the optimal position between centralised and decentralised approaches?  How do local property rights and other institutional variables influence their effectiveness? What are the actual impacts of forest adaptation and mitigation policies and projects on the rights and livelihoods of forest communities, and how can synergies be maximised and trade-offs reduced?'
Ms Seymour's message of urgency was reinforced by Jan McAlpine, director of the UN Forum on Forests. She told delegates that the world's forests 'contain two-thirds of Earth's known terrestrial species. They provide protection against degradation of land and desertification from climate change. They provide income for hundreds of millions of people across the globe.'
Eduardo Rojas-Briales, assistant director-general at the UN Food and Agriculture Organization's Forestry Department, said at the conference, 'The world will not be able to meet the challenge of climate change without putting forests at the centre of climate change policy.'
Still, South Korean President Lee Myung-bak, in an opening address to the meeting, said that he was optimistic for the future, based on his country's experience with reforestation programmes.
'Since we announced our Green Growth programme in Korea, jobs have increased three-fold in the green industry and profits have also tripled,' he said. 'Each year, 50 000 new jobs are created.

Conector interruptedly mouse can cause the mouse does not display the way, if the mouse is not stable conector should still be the way but I can not last long. possible solution of the problems that you may be able to do to overcome the causes of damage memantu above, namely the wedge with a folded paper. if this is considered extremely urgent or can replace with another conector. There is a possibility also in the mouse cable to drop out, usually near the ends of the dropouts in the mouse, if it is like the way the mouse will not be at all. Solutions to the problems that may be above you can do is, measure the cable with the mouse data with AVO meter, if the cable is found to drop out then you can replace it with another cable. if there is no possibility of any other damage. Damage to the mouse driver can also cause the mouse can not work. mdriver especially when the mouse is not suitable, although other drivers can be used, but the mouse will not provide the maximum results, or not normal. solutions to the problems above, you can do is to use the drivers that competible for all types of mouse.
