6. Once upon a time there was a little fish…
A little fish that loved to design things.
After fish school and a lot of hard work
he acquired the job of his dreams
as a graphic designer
and was as happy as could be…
7. However after 6 years of working for big corporate fishes,
the little fish began to wonder if there might be more to life,
and so he packed his little fish bags and swam all the way
to the other side of the ocean.
Over the years that followed the little fish tried his hand
in many different crafts and trades...
He was a Sales fish, a Bar fish... even a Cowboy fish.
8. And so,
after 4 long years of travelling, trying new things
and helping friends with their own designs,
on one perfectly ordinary day,
something very magical happened...
The little fish realised that he had loved
designing all this time!
So he set out to open his own little fishy business,
and lived happily ever after!
11. Dragon Ball Z is the award-winning anime adaptation of the second portion of the
immensely popular Dragon Ball manga written and drawn by Akira Toriyama, making it the
sequel to the Dragon Ball anime. It was first released in Japan and Hong Kong, and later
elsewhere in the world including the United States. The 'Z' was originally added to the title
by Toriyama for the anime, to signify it as being the ending portion of the Dragon Ball series.
The show started in the US in 1996 on Cartoon Network's Toonami block. Beginning with the
Saiyan Saga, severe restrictions were put in place for a cable program. From the Ginyu
Saga onwards, FUNimation dubbed the show themselves with their own in-house voice
actors and also cut some of their previous restrictions, such as the inclusion of blood.
The series follows the adventures of the adult version of Goku who, along with his
companions, defend the Earth and many other planets against various villains. Goku is the
hero of Dragon Ball Z, the most powerful warrior on Earth. When the Saiyans arrive, Goku
learns the mysterious secret of his own past: he is a Saiyan formerly named Kakarot. Goku
was sent to Earth as a baby to destroy the planet, but a head injury as a child scrambled
Goku's programming. Instead of growing up to become a destructive super-warrior, he
became innocent and pure of heart, fighting for good and protecting planet Earth.
Goku is peaceful, good natured, honest,
loving to his family and friends, loyal,
trustworthy, and brave. If he has a
weakness, it is his trusting nature. He always
finds the good in people when others don't
see it, though Goku's enemies sometimes
take advantage of his naive trust.
While the original Dragon Ball anime
followed Goku through childhood into
adulthood, Dragon Ball Z is a continuation
of his adulthood life, but at the same time
parallels the maturation of his son, Gohan
and to a lesser extent, with his other son
Goten. The separation between the series is
also significant as the latter series takes on a
more dramatic and serious tone.

Water is to the world what blood is to our bodies
Global warming is slowly drying-up Africa. There will be 25% less
water by the end of the century. If the combined population of the
three countries the Nile runs through–Ethiopia, Sudan and Egypt rises
as predicted from 150 million today to 340 million in 2050, then there
could be intense competition for increasingly limited water resources.
The United Nations estimates that more than 6 million people are at
risk of running out of food and water as a result of global warming.
The word "Mekong"
translates in Lao as "Mother of
Rivers". The locals say "It's water
is our blood". To manage the
resources of the river basin and
harness the waters for hydropower
and irrigation, the Mekong River
commision was formed on 5th April
1995 by an agreement between the
governments of Lao PDR, Thailand, Cambodia
and Veitnam, with China and Burma becoming
dialogue partners in 2002.

Water is to the world what blood is to our bodies
WATERPollution and Water pollution is a major environmental
concern in South America especially in Venezuela. Rivers,
lakes, and underground aquifers are becoming increasingly
polluted due to oil development, untreated sewage wastes,
and fertilizer run-off. Lake Maracaibo is suffering from
increased pollution. PdVSA, faces about $1.5 billion
in environmental liabilities. Cleaning up 15,000 oil pits,
which collect contaminated sludge from oil wells,
alone could cost $1 billion.
