Oh sure, Boeing’s new 787 Dreamliner is made of composite materials and it’s super fuel efficient, but unless you own an airline, the only thing you care about is how comfortable it is. Boeing knows this, and has striven to give passengers an experience unlike any other airplane.

The aerospace company decided an all-new airplane needs an all-new interior and went all-out to make the 787’s interior as innovative as its airframe, aerodynamics and engines. From the air you breath to the turbulence you (won’t) feel to the windows you look through, the passenger experience promises to provide something new at every stage of your flight.

Aircraft Air Conditioning
The temperature in an airplane cabin is managed, in part, by an Air Cycle Machine (ACM). The ACM acts as the refrigeration unit to provide cool air in pressurized aircraft. An aircraft typically has two or three of these ACM machines arranged in a system called a “pack”. The ACM packs are typically located near the main landing gear.

The cooling process does not require Freon or other chemical refrigerants. Instead, an ACM uses air to cool the air by expanding and contracting the volume of air. This system has some very distinct benefits over a chemical coolant system.

Everywhere you turn nowadays , someone or something is telling you to definitely Go Green!  Years ago , going green meant with envy, but these days people are getting hip to the fact the environment is in trouble but it ’s on us to aid make it a better place.

Now, I’m no Greenpeace Protester , however I do my share .  I recycle.  I turn off lights.  I even purchased those ugly spiral illumination bulbs for lamps in my house .  For some people , these minor life modifications are sufficient .  For other people who wish to achieve more, one can find surprisingly many things they can do to decrease their carbon footprint in the world.

Unlike Hollywood, Malaysia doesn’t have the drama and the paparazzi to keep the locals abuzz. When Siti Nurhaliza and Datuk K got married and the wedding was telecasted over national TV, it was the most drama they had in the past 10 years. That’s probably because Mawi was on the other channel at the exact same time. Talk about fighting for ratings.

Even so, Malaysia has its fair share of entertainment non-Hollywood style. The performing arts was recently (or should I say “FINALLY”) recognized as something of importance. With the full support of the Malaysian government and the corresponding bodies, the performing arts scene in Malaysia (particularly in Kuala Lumpur) is booming.
