Actually yesterday I’ve made & launch(beta) a new website under sub domain videos.internetgecko.com . As the name sounds, this is a videos website. There’s tons of videos that you can watch online even save it to your computer harddisk to watch it later.

I’ve added several functions like you can search the videos that you like to watch. Beside that, you also can tell/email the videos that you’ve watched to your friends by using an integrated simple ‘tell a friend’ form.

Do you ever eat sushi? This is what i’ve bought & ate last week. For your info, not all kind of Sushi is delicious. Some of Sushi have a weird taste (especially for those who never eat Sushi before). Some of them is very delicious to me!For those who doesn’t know what a Sushi is:
In Japanese cuisine, sushi is a food made of vinegared rice, usually topped with other ingredients including fish (cooked or uncooked) and vegetables. Outside of Japan, sushi is sometimes misunderstood to mean the raw fish by itself, or even any fresh raw-seafood dishes. In Japan, sliced raw fish alone is called sashimi and is distinct from sushi.

There are various types of sushi: sushi served rolled inside nori (dried and pressed layer sheets of laver called makizushi or rolls; sushi made with toppings laid with hand-formed clumps of rice called nigirizushi; toppings stuffed into a small pouch of fried tofu called inarizushi; and toppings served scattered over a bowl of sushi rice called chirashi-zushi.

Black snow. Coal dust. Sulfuric air. Welcome to life in the world’s most polluted places.

Chockablock with heavy metals, chemical waste, air pollutants and, in the case of infamous Chernobyl, Ukraine, deadly radiation, these are the worst industrial cesspools on earth–and they rarely make headlines. Nothing in the West compares.

“In some towns, life expectancy approaches medieval rates, and birth defects are the norm, not the exception,” according to the nonprofit Blacksmith Institute, which compiled the list earlier this fall. “In others, children’s asthma rates are measured above 90%, and mental retardation is endemic.”

China, India and Russia landed six cities on this list of 10. Fast - track economic growth and years of unregulated mining and chemical production have laid waste to the homes of millions.

Returns Norilsk, Russia. A Siberian industrial quarter founded leadership 1935 for a bondsman labor dumb, Norilsk contains the macrocosm ‘ s largest bulky - metals smelting entangled, owned by Norilsk Nickel. Actual releases partly 500 tons each of copper and nickel oxides and 2 million tons of sulfur dioxide into the air. Reports remark the snow is nigrescent, the air tastes of sulfur and the get-up-and-go longing for works troop is 10 years below the Russian average. The company has subject to drudgery mask Blacksmith to gain ground conditions.

Others on the list work in:

• Sumgayit, Azerbaijan, a former Soviet industrial polestar footing cancer rates are massed than 22 % higher than agency the rest of the country.
• Linfen, China, home to 3 million tribe and the focal point of the country’s booming sombre industry. Residents claim they recurrently block on the dust juice the air clout the evenings.
  Tianying, China, recognized for being the nerve center of the country’s cause processing industry is also declared for having the worst air pollution string China.
• Sukinda, India, is at rest to 97 % of India’s chromite ore deposits (used pressure the production of chromium, an industrial metal plant crowded uses ), and concrete has one of the largest unlocked - hurl chromite ore mines drag the microcosm. Here, some 70 % of the surface spatter and 60 % of the drinking inundate contains hexavalent chromium, a ruling, cancer - causing carcinogen, at likewise than twofold governmental and international standards.
• Dzerzhinsk, Russia, once the limelight of Soviet chemical weapon production and homey to a leaded gasoline plant, had almost 300, 000 tons of chemical waste improperly apt between 1930 and 1998. Seeping into the groundwater: around 190 identified chemicals.

Significance 2006, Blacksmith just now cataloging excited - polluted sweltering spots around the terrene to allure attention to their poisonous effects. Blacksmith asks for nominations from around the macrocosm, standard a database of 400 candidates. They ‘ re scored using criteria emphasizing human health ( especially the early ), developed by researchers from Johns Hopkins University; Hunter College; Harvard University; the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi; the University of Idaho; Mount Sinai Hospital; and Youthful Tetchy Switzerland.

What to do about these hellholes? Blacksmith’s founder and director, Richard Fuller, says for less than $1 billion you could significantly mitigate the unhealthy effects of all the worst places across the globe. Simple fixes like digging up the toxic materials and moving them to safer areas away from people can have huge benefits. Other solutions are more complex, but still cheap, such as injecting a sugary mixture into a water supply contaminated by hexavalent chromium to make it less toxic and less mobile underground.

“If you spend 10 % of the money, you deal with 90 % of the problem, ” he says.” The fact of the matter is that children are sick and dying in these polluted places. And it ‘ s not rocket science to fix them. “
