			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Stopdodo is the global portal for environmental jobs and resumes.</strong></p>
<p>If you are pursuing a respectable career path in the ecological and environmental fields and have even considered expanding your horizons by traveling to new and exotic places to fulfill your dream of helping the planet, then try your search at <a href="http://www.stopdodo.com/">Stopdodo.com</a> and search environmental job listings from around the world, absolutely free. Equally, green based businesses located virtually anywhere in the world can list their environmentally beneficial positions at Stopdodo.com, also free. Stopdodo.com expands its search parameters to the global green job market and includes site translation of thirteen languages, which sets Stopdodo apart from some of the more established green job search sites.</p>
<p>Stopdodo.com officially launches next week and already has listings in 60 countries.</p>
<blockquote><p>We thought it would be a good idea to create a global site that was free to advertise &amp; search environmental jobs and free to list &amp; search environmental resumes.  That way the money is kept in conservation and environmental protection – for the benefit of our planet!<br />
<em>Furthermore, Stopdodo pledges to buy 100 square metres of rainforest every time an Employer signs-up and advertises with us*&#8230;It&#8217;s free to sign up - and free to advertise!</em></p></blockquote>

		<title>Million Blog List - How Long Will It Take To Reach 1,000,000?</title>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you have a blog you might be interested in this new wiki, <a title="THe Million Blog List" href="http://millionbloglist.com/index.php?title=Main_Page">Million Blog List</a>.  Blogs can add their link to the list for free and include a maximum 500 word description. And if you post about the Million Blog List you can have your blog title in <strong>bold</strong>.  You must include the banner in your post or place it on permanent display in your sidebar.</p>
<blockquote><p>It is said that there are over 70,000,000 blogs in existence. This is an experiment to see how long it will take to get 1,000,000 blogs to list themselves on our site. Will it work? We think so. The experiment is to see how long will it take. What do you think? take our poll. We started April 10th, 2008.</p></blockquote>
<p>It is a guess as to how viral this could become, but it only takes a few influential blogs to initiate the linking frenzy needed to reach the mega goal.<br />
I added Eco-Thinker at #144 and as I write this, 12 hours later, the list has almost 300 submissions. One million is an ambitious number even for blogs and whether that goal can even be reached remains a mystery, but I casted my projection at 3-6 months in the <a title="The Million Blog List Voting Poll" href="http://www.polldaddy.com/poll.aspx?p=507321">poll</a>.<br />
I am no expert on wiki format, but it seems that there will be periods of mass submissions. Depending our how viral it might be at any given future point those edits will start overlapping each other.</p>
<p><em>Blogger_A submits her link at #50,000 at the same time as blogger_B, blogger_C, and blogger_D who also believe they are submitting their link as the #50,000 slot.</em></p>
<p>I admit I made a few mistakes and ended up edited three different times, all within a minute, but I did realize I might have saved over someone submitting just as or just before I clicked save. I tried the <strong>show preview</strong> and everything looked fine, then I clicked the <strong>show changes</strong> and realized I am not 142 anymore, but 144. I quickly realized how that could get messy with simultaneous saves. Unfamiliar with the wiki code I just copy/pasted the code segment above mine and made my changes.</p>
<p>If you are unfamiliar with the wiki code just use this template below:</p>
<p><hr />:144 [http://www.eco-thinker.com/ Eco-Thinker] Eco-Thinker explores ways to live a green and more sustainable lifestyle.</p>
<p><hr /></p>
<p>or if you posted about the million blog list you will want your title <strong>bold</strong>:</p>
<p><hr />:144 [http://www.eco-thinker.com/ '''Eco-Thinker''']</p>
<p><hr /></p>
<p>I would suggest having your code with description ready to paste and save as soon as possible to avoid edit wrecks.</p>

Planned for the northern coast of Chile, the 400 meter tall coiling tower collects the moisture from the unique coastal fog known locally as &#8220;<a href="http://www.nasm.si.edu/ceps/drylands/camanchaca.html">Camanchaca</a>&#8220;. The water molecules are trapped, then funneled downward into a basement area where trace minerals are filtered through a reverse osmosis system, which given the proper amount of filtration membranes reverse osmosis can filter out  <a href="http://eco-thinker.com/pharmaceutical-drug-waste-in-us-drinking-water/">used pharmaceutical drugs</a> and even fluorides. The clean water can then be distributed to support expansion of agricultural activity along the coast for the port city of Huasco. Designers Alberto Fernández and Susana Ortega have predicted that the spiraling pillars will gather a minimum 20,000 liters of water per day to a maximum of 200,000 liters/day.</p>

<blockquote><p>An Associated Press investigation found pharmaceuticals in nearly ever drinking water supply that they tested, including those of 24 major metropolitan areas across the nation. Nancy Cordes reports.</p></blockquote>
<p>The reporter mentioned the antidepressant ingredient in Prozac.
