Life after Chernobyl

-

As many people around the globe know that Chernobyl is the one of the worst disasters ever happened to mankind destroying thousands of lives. The biggest nuclear disaster ever happened in the history of mankind .
During the disaster 8 tons of radioactive material was released spread across the zone . It is 400 times effective than that of the Hiroshima bomb and 5 times the Fukushima disaster in Japan . Even now after just over 3 decades the radiation is so high that 20 kilometer area surrounding it is declared as an exclusion zone and entry is strictly prohibited . Although the nuclear debris and the top layer of most of the regions in exclusion zone was removed , Theresa's a forest included in the exclusion which was intensely effected by radioactivity . There was a change in the species due to this. The trees are radioactive now ,when they have burned a pile of dry leafs they(authorities) have noticed a spike in radioactivity levels which could be potentially an another Chernobyl disaster repeated if the forest is on fire . Although the survival of life forms is not expected to be continued as normally as usual few life of the species seems to have to adopted for the conditions present there . The birds and other animals were effected at cell level but the marine life has adopted to the conditions. Finding out what changes that the marine life has taken to survive can also probably make immune to radioactivity.

It all started in the late 1780 B.c when Fredric Tudor started shipping ice blocks to different places in America and even as far as 4 months journey to India from the lakes in Boston. People need to replenish their ice storage when the ice gets melted all summer long. Method they used to follow: Using tools they draw a grid over a plain sheet of ice.  Then with the help of hacksaw people used to manually cut the blocks. This picture is taken from google images(wikimedia.org) Then they will  pull out the blocks from the lake using huge ice prongs and send them to huge ice houses and later sent to the required destinations by different means of transportation .

If you are buying a already used phone from online websites or from any other dealers we probably don't know if the phone is a stolen one or not. And finding out is getting a bit easier today. The US wireless industry, through its trade group the CTIA, has launched a tool called the "Stolen Phone Checker, which allows us to check whether a particular phone is a stolen or not. This site works properly as the all the reported stolen device's IMEI, MEID or ESN - unique codes are stored in the database . Usually the IMEI number is either somewhere deep inside the device or for some devices it is printed outside on the back. Checking the phone is a bit important because the stolen phones are not allowed to access the service.  Steps to be followed : step1: Go to some search engine (like google, yahoo,Bing) and type "Stolen Phone checker " and press enter. step2: Go to any of the websites give according to your choice (most of them will work pro
