Many countries around the world are also planning grand activities to welcome the millennium on Jan 1, 2000 – on Mount Fuji in Japan, on the Great Wall of China, at the Pyramids of Egypt, and at the billion-dollar Millennium Dome in London, to name a few. And Singapore will be very much a part of that worldwide celebration. Whatever the cultural, religious, traditional or scientific context, the new millennium is, above all, a time for us to remember and honour our past whilst rejoicing in the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. 2.

20 Century Ends
New Year‟s Celebration 2013 20th CENTURY ENDS ANKIND yesterday stood on the threshold of a new millennium, linked by satellite technology for the most closely watched midnight in history. M The millennium watch was kept all over the world, from a sprinkle of South Pacific islands to the skyscrapers of the Americas, across the pyramids, the Parthenon and the temples of Angkor Wat. Manila Archbishop Luis Antonio Cardinal Tagle said Filipinos should greet 2013 with ''great joy'' and ''anticipation.'' ''The year 2013 is not about Y2K, the end of the world or the biggest party of a lifetime,'' he said. ''It is about J2K13, Jesus 2013, the Jubilee 2013 and Joy to the World 2013. It is about 2013 years of Christ's loving presence in the world.'' The world celebration was tempered, however, by unease over Earth's vulnerability to terrorism and its dependence on computer technology. The excitement was typified by the Pacific archipelago nation of Kiribati, so eager to be first to see the millennium that it actually shifted its portion of the international dateline two hours east. The caution was exemplified by Seattle, which canceled its New Year's party for fear of terrorism. In the Philippines, President Benigno Aquino III is bracing for a “tough” new year. At the same time, he called on Filipinos to pray for global peace and brotherhood and to work as one in facing the challenges of the 21st century. Mr. Estrada and at least one Cabinet official said the impending oil price increase, an expected P60- billion budget deficit, and the public opposition to amending the Constitution to allow unbridled foreign investments would make it a difficult time for the Estrada presidency. -

Emergency Vets Call for Silent Fireworks at ALL New Year's
Emergency vets call for silent fireworks at ALL New Year’s celebrations Submitted by: Vets Now Friday, 16 December 2016 Vets at the UK’s leading provider of pet emergency care are calling for quiet fireworks at all New Year’s Eve celebrations. Councillors in Edinburgh have agreed to investigate the impact of noise from firework displays and whether silent pyrotechnics could be used instead. It follows concerns that pets are being traumatised by the bangs and explosions that mark the climax of the city’s world-famous Hogmanay street party. Now small animal emergency specialists Vets Now (https://christmas.vets-now.com) are urging other councils across the UK to consider following Edinburgh’s example. Amanda Boag, Vets Now’s clinical director, said she would welcome the use of silent or almost silent fireworks at New Year’s celebrations. She said: “Fireworks now go off throughout the autumn and winter and this causes many pets and their owners a lot of distress. “At these times we often see pets who have been burnt by fireworks or involved in road traffic accidents after being spooked and running onto the road. “We welcome Edinburgh council’s plan to commission a report into the impact of noisy fireworks, and we look forward to seeing the results. “We know one of the options being considered is silent fireworks and this is something we would actively support across the country as it seems to represent a good compromise.” It’s estimated 46% of dogs and 45% of cats are scared of noisy fireworks. Dogs will typically show fear by trembling, panting or drooling while some will hide, bark or jump on furniture. -
Metals Present in Ambient Air Before and After a Firework Festival in Yanshui, Tainan, Taiwan
Aerosol and Air Quality Research, 12: 981–993, 2012 Copyright © Taiwan Association for Aerosol Research ISSN: 1680-8584 print / 2071-1409 online doi: 10.4209/aaqr.2012.03.0069 Metals Present in Ambient Air before and after a Firework Festival in Yanshui, Tainan, Taiwan Trong-Mui Do1, Chu-Fang Wang1,2, Yi-Kong Hsieh1, Hui-Fang Hsieh1* 1 Department of Biomedical Engineering and Environmental Sciences, National Tsing Hua University, Hsinchu 30013, Taiwan 2 Institute of Nuclear Engineering and Science, National Tsing Hua University, Hsinchu 30013, Taiwan ABSTRACT Fireworks displays are among the most important events during Taiwan’s annual Lantern Festival, although thus practice leads to metal and non-metal pollution in the air. In this study, we investigated the levels of 16 elements—Na, Mg, Al, Si, K, Ca, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Cu, Zn, As, Sr, Ba, and Pb—during the fireworks festival in Yanshui, Tainan, Taiwan, and the chemical compositions and mass concentration distributions of these elements collected from the sampling site are reported. The airborne particles were mainly in the sub-micrometer regime, with coarse size ranges. The concentrations of most of the elements of interest in this study were higher in the post-fireworks display period than prior to it. Studies of respiratory epithelial cell death revealed that the levels of the elements collected in the sub-micrometer size range were more than two times lower than those in the micrometer size range in the post-fireworks display period, but the viability was 65.7% for the former compared with 73.3% for the latter. -

Tony Ford (MSF Secretariat)
Preface Professor Maki Kawai Chair, MSF Steering Committee Director General, Institute for Molecular Science Professor Emeritus of the University of Tokyo Cultivating new horizons for Condensed Matter Science The Millennium Science Forum (MSF) was established based on the voices of senior scientists who lead the modern research with the intention of cultivating new horizons for Condensed Matter Science. On this occasion of 20 years of the MSF, we would like to show the how the mission of the MSF was conceived and what was attained by twenty-two talented prize winners. The start was in 1998, when Professors Noboru Miura, Hidetoshi Fukuyama, the late Koichi Kitazawa and Sir Peter Williams met in Tokyo and came up with the idea of the MSF which was started in the following year, 1999. The Sir Martin Wood Prize was set as the core program of the MSF and Mr. Yasunobu Nakamura of NTT, currently Professor of the University of Tokyo, became the 1st awardee. In November 2018, the twentieth Sir Martin Wood Prize will be awarded to Associate Professor Yoshihiko Okamoto of Nagoya University. Here we showcase twenty-two Prize Winners with their achievements and their development since the MSF was founded. Successful advancement in their personal careers indicates the promotion of Condensed Matter Science and individual descriptions of their research represents the development of Condensed Matter Science itself in two decades. We are confident that you will enjoy the new era of the field. Sir Martin Wood Prize winners are given the opportunity of lecture trips to UK universities and institutes in Germany. -
Y2K: Much Ado About Nothing
Contents Y2K: Much Ado About Nothing In light of the much touted Y2K bug, preparations on a global scale and enormous expenditures may well have resulted in what many consider a non-event. Like preventive medicine, however, planning and preparation are always preferable to disease control or crisis management. The passing of midnight at the end of the century and the announcement that all was well was not without controversy, however. Were the costs justified or necessary? Was the concern real or actually created to serve particular ends? What is for certain is that it was a spectacular party that circled the globea celebration that in its own way once again confirmed the interconnectedness of humankind.
