The levels of 'radioactive' Iodine really shouldn't be of concern to anyone, in Glasgow, or indeed, Japan. At the moment. Nor should consuming any 'radioactive' Squid be of much concern. At the moment.

The best thing about Finance Minister Bill English\'s latest Budget is that it does finally signal a much greater role for the private sector in the New Zealand economy. And another step along the way to extract this country from the political cul-de-sac in which Helen Clark\'s Labour Government parked us.

Some ghost towns, especially those that preserve period-specific architecture, have become tourist attractions. Some examples are Bannack, Montana; Calico, California; and Oatman, Arizona in the United States; Barkerville in Canada; Elizabeth Bay and Kolmanskop in Namibia; and Pripyat in Ukraine. Visiting, writing about, and photographing ghost towns is a minor industry. A recent modern day example is Ōkuma, Fukushima which was abandoned due to the 2011 Japan earthquake and tsunami incident.
Ōkuma (大熊町 Ōkuma-machi?) is a town located in Futaba District, Fukushima Prefecture, Japan.In 2010, the town had a population of 11,515[1] and a population density of 146.31 persons per km˛. The total area is 78.70 km˛.On 11 March 2011, the Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami occurred. The town incurred much damage from the disaster, most notably the tsunami hitting the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant and the subsequent nuclear disaster. As a result, Ōkuma is now a modern day ghost town.
