Kumejima (久米島) is an island, part of the Okinawa Islands. It is located about 90 kilometers west of Okinawa Island. Kumejima offers a much less developed version of the beaches and Okinawan culture. Kumejima is quite small, and traveling from one end of the island to another rarely involves a trip longer than ten kilometers.
Like many other of the small islands in Okinawa, the beaches of Kumejima, snorkeling and diving are among the principal attractions for visitors.
Pools of Tropical Fish
Kumejima has an interesting spot along the northern cost of the island. It is relatively large pools of water with a variety of sea life are separated from the sea during low tide. You can observe the colorful sea life without even stepping into the water.
Facility Information:
Hours: Always open
Admission: Free
Access Information:
In Kumejima, there few public transportation service. Rental car is the most convenient way to travel around the island.

Kumejima is quite small, and traveling from one end of the island to another rarely involves a trip longer than ten kilometers.
Kumejima has two major towns; one is located around the port. Another is inhabited mostly by locals, while the other is a small town of hotels, dining halls and shops catering to the tourists, located alongside
Uezu Residence
The Uezu Residence was built in 1750 for a high ranked family. It is built in the traditional Okinawan style with thick stone walls and red-tiled roofs. The house cannot be entered but only viewed from the outside.

Hate no hama Kumejima, はての浜 久米島
Update: The full length video is here
***************************************************************************
Hate (ha-tey) no hama is a beautiful white sand beach (island) in middle of ocean. It takes about 20-30min to reach (depending upon wind and waves) by a small boat (in the video).
It is protected by a long (about 7km) reef. There is nothing in there except sand. Some private hotels have beach rentals over there but their tour customers are the priority (no us). So bring your own food and stuffs. BBQ is not allowed.
This place is good for viewing sunrise only mainland Kumejima will hide the sunset. This is best place for snorkeling, wind-surfing, para-surfing and diving.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) uses the temperature difference between cooler deep and warmer shallow or surface seawaters to run a heat engine and produce useful work, usually in the form of electricity. OTEC can operate with a very high capacity factor and so can operate in base load mode.
Among ocean energy sources, OTEC is one of the continuously available renewable energy resources that could contribute to base-load power supply. The resource potential for OTEC is considered to be much larger than for other ocean energy forms [World Energy Council, 2000]. Up to 88,000 TWh/yr of power could be generated from OTEC without affecting the ocean’s thermal structure [Pelc and Fujita, 2002].
Systems may be either closed-cycle or open-cycle. Closed-cycle OTEC uses working fluids that are typically thought of as refrigerants such as ammonia or R-134a. These fluids have low boiling points, and are therefore suitable for powering the system’s generator to generate electricity. The most commonly used heat cycle for OTEC to date is the Rankine cycle, using a low-pressure turbine. Open-cycle engines use vapour from the seawater itself as the working fluid.
OTEC can also supply quantities of cold water as a by-product. This can be used for air conditioning and refrigeration and the nutrient-rich deep ocean water can feed biological technologies. Another by-product is fresh water distilled from the sea.OTEC theory was first developed in the 1880s and the first bench size demonstration model was constructed in 1926. Currently the world's only operating OTEC plant is in Japan, overseen by Saga University.
