| PRESS RELEASE: Join MapleStory Europe's search for a star!
Thursday 18th October/... NEXON, the ground-breaking development company behind the hugely successful online RPG, MapleStory Europe, is taking player interaction to a whole new level as it launches its first ever Maple Star contest. For three weeks, players will be able to strut their funky stuff and practice their best compliments and put-downs as they vote and take part in a Europe-wide contest that seeks to honour the very best dressed and most stylish characters in the game. The Halloween-themed competition, which starts on October 18th (alongside the start of MapleStory’s month long Halloween celebrations) challenges players to create the most original and attention-grabbing character possible. Using MapleStory Europe’s rich character customisation system, together with the huge range of costume accessories available from MapleStory Europe’s unique Cash shop, players can let their imagination and design skills run riot as they battle to take the honours in online gaming’s first ever virtual fashion show.
Alarm failure delayed discovery of tainted water
The plant was not manned overnight Jan. 15, but plant operators have access to the facility remotely via computer. Once the problem was detected on Jan. 16, Arizona American shut down the plant and issued an alert that afternoon, though the firm's telephone-notification system did not initially reach most customers.
Takata said alarms designed to alert operators to a problem did not work.
"They had three alarms that should have triggered something was wrong. They did not, so that's what they're investigating," he said.
This is the second malfunction involving release of TCE from the same plant in the past three months. Takata called the pair of incidents "very severe."
"I think the public and elected officials are very outraged that this should happen," he said.
