Most of us will never see Japan again, and many thousands of veterans, I'll wager, felt a lump in the throat while looking at your Art section...

...pump operates by electricity, uses a motor compressor and coils much like a refrigerator to keep the house at comfortable temperatures. In summer it draws the hot air out of the house through ducts, runs it over a refrigerated coil, circulates the cooled air back through the house. In winter, the pump draws in the cold outside air, picks up heat from it by passing it over an even colder coil; the heat is then transferred by fluid to a compressor, which raises the fluid to a high temperature, passes it to a second coil used to heat inside...
