Romanian music and video sharing website Trilulilu.ro has signed an agreement with Universal Music, the biggest record label in the world, allowing the website to stream any song licensed by Universal Music, even if the songs are uploaded by the website's users. These songs will however only be available for users in Romania. The deal consists in splitting advertising revenues between Trilulilu and Universal Music.

Sushi- the Japanese word meaning ''sour''- was a dish invented in Japan in the Muromachi period around the mid 1300's, and in those times it was made from fermented fish. The Sushi we eat today, which is internationally recognised and enjoyed, was created in the Edo period in the early 1800's by a man called Hanaya Yohei as a fast food. I would thank him personally if he were still alive! Sushi is a personal favourite which I developed a taste for whilst living in the Far East.

Max Ausnit was known in the first part of the 20th century as the King of Steel in Romania. He was one of Romania's principal industrialists at the time and not only had control and stakes in several factories in Romania, but he also controlled factories abroad, in Yugoslavia and Poland. He had to leave Romania twice and was condemned to death in absence by two different regimes in the country at the time. His son, Steven Ausnit, now 86, tells Romania-Insider.com the story of his father.
