I live outside of a town, in a village, and I’ll tell you something for nothing: there are people here who are a different race to the rest of us. Villagers who have stayed here so long that they have invented their own language. But this is Norfolk, so you have to come to expect it. And no, I am not going to make a joke about people with webbed feet. I don’t think the people with webbed feet would

Ah, the South West of England, a wonderful place. The people there may be barely comprehensible to the rest of England (not to mention the world) but that doesn’t mean the place isn’t worth a visit. Want to read more about the South West but with a more energy saving slant (which might help if your boss catches you at work, because at least you will look like you were trying to educate yourself rather than avoid work)? Have a look at this link: http://www.eniginscampaign.com/2010/05/21/spring-at-enigin/ Also talked about in the post is the amazing weather that the South West can sometimes have. I say sometimes because let’s be honest…England isn’t exactly going to catch up with Spain any time soon. That said, recent weather has shown us that things seem to be improving… Of course, for every effect there is an opposite effect. So, just like when I moved away from sitting with boring Mark in the canteen and thought I was in luck sitting on my own (and boring Jim spotted me and sat down before I had a chance to move) the atmosphere can also suffer when it seems to be doing the opposite. As we all know, a rise in good weather doesn’t necessarily bode well for the future. It might mean that we’ll have better summers, but it also might mean that global warming is on the increase. But who knows? If the scientists can’t agree then how are we supposed to make an informed decision about the state of our great planet? One thing is for sure, let’s enjoy it but let’s do our bit for the environment - recycle more, conserve energy by switching off instead of using standby, or ditch your diesel guzzling car for an insight hybrid. In an ever-changing world, everything we can do counts for something.

Did you know octopuses can correctly predict sports events? Paul just knew and managed to advise others on the outcome of quite a few world cup games correctly. Amoung those correctly foreseen are six of Germanies world cup games. Paul the octopus is now a world famous phenomenon watched by journalists around the world for his next move. Just what event will he predict next?

You would think germany would want to purchase this creature to foresee all manner of

What an excellent name for an enegy saving comapany. Enigin. Thier first blog can be found here. There’s lots of great tips on how to save energy both in the business and at home.

The blog was sttarted in response to interest from around the world about how to save energy and reduce climate change. The company has web sites and resources available, including lots of information on how to save energy.

Energy is a valuable resources and there is a huge interest in being more accomplished savers of utislizing the worlds energy. Natural resources are not necesarily replenishable, and there is now a crises within the ozone layer scientists tell us. This apparently has been caused by CO2 gasses. This ozone layer change of the world has changed the weather around the world and has caused the earth to heat up.

In order to preserve the earths resources for future generations all of us throughout the world can all play our part in being responsible in saving these resources. Every little action counts. All small actions can create a large reaction and be of benefit. A single person may think what can I do? Does my not using an awrosol can or switching off a light really make a difference?

Well in the business world we see this difference all the time. One penny on its own is not seen as much. However if one sold a new product and undercut competitors sufficiently whilst already having a large market share the amount of sales would still make this one penny of 100% profit of significance especially if the purchasers numered into the thousands or millions.

One penny alone is not so much. However One million or so is quite a tidy figure. Keeping that in mind if each single one us millions of inhabitants on earth do our bit for the environment that is a substantial difference we can make in preserving the earths resources for the future.

How often has someone, a close friend you trust, said “you should really read that!” Do you ever get around to it? Count yourself as in the minority if you have your hand up now; while watching a video on the computer is an easy thing to do, most people are just too tired (or bitter) after a hard day’s work, and the last thing they want to do – in the case of quite a few people I know

There are a lot of companies out there who can talk the talk: yes, they say they will do this and that and yes, they make grand promises that reach the sky, but seriously, when was the last time you heard about a company who actually gave it to you straight and didn’t try and confuse you with techno-babble? Well that’s where Enigin come in. And I’ll tell you for why. With Enigin (they’re energy-saving gurus, if you didn’t know, and don’t be ashamed, because you’re not the only one) you get it nice and simple with minimal hype, and they have a load of blogs from design to money to marketing and everything in between, all explaining different facets of the same thing. The company’s’ goal, as you can read at the following post, is simply to save energy and communicate that idea that with simple measures; like that, everyone can save energy and more importantly a fair bit of money along the way.

Often it seems (or people would have us believe) that there is some magic solution to saving masses of energy, yet according to Enigin it isn’t like that at all. To them it isn’t about whether or not we use wind-power or nuclear energy or fly about the world less, no, according to them it starts at home, in the every day things that we already take for granted. By doing just a few things differently we can all make a difference – one that can be seen within weeks of making the changes.

I was reading this article on Google News about a housewife calledMargaret Fenton from Scunthorpe, North Yorkshire who has fostered not 1, not 2 but 25 children in seven years. I was so happy that we women can be inspirational whether we are career driven or simply housewives looking after our children.

Some women are would rather spend their money on Collagen injections for their face instead of raising a young family. And on the other extreme, there are big

Finding myself on the Enigin Partner blog, I saw, to my sheer delight, a search bar. Now, I love my search bars, me. Especially white ones that beckon! Of course I couldn’t resist the opportunity to type something random in to it and see what might come up. So I did. I racked my brains then I wrote what I was thinking (Awesome!) and up came a picture of that fastest of land beasts: the Cheetah! I thought that was pretty apt.

Enigin have search bars, and tons of very intriguing information, and all kinds of stuff to look at which is actually quite interesting and worth more than a passing glance. All of it can help you turn your home in to an energy-saving palace of awesomeness where wondrous things happen almost as often as the weather changes (I said almost: this is England): I am talking wondrous things like monitoring the real-time energy usage of your house-hold, all the gadgets that Enigin make, and tons of other stuff that I probably have no idea about.

Dissapointed that my awesome word yielded nothing other than the picture of the world’s fastest land animal, I had another go. This time I typed in Save the earth! Seeing as that seemed to be on the Enigin’s mind an awful lot.

This time I had enormous success. Up came all kinds of articles on loads of different things. Love the search bar? I suggest you get your butt to the aforementioned address and start typing away then!

Too many times people are dedicating their time to dropping thirty pounds in a week in order to fit into that small sized swimsuit they insisted on picking up during their last shopping trip. While it would be nice to be able to drop thirty pounds in a week and do it safely, that is just not something that is going to happen. Besides, even if it were at all possible, it would leave some serious stretch marks! Tell you what, I’m not ready to break out my handy dandy Derma roller just yet are you?

It is important to make sure that you have a solid weight loss plan in place before setting your goals in order to have a full understanding of what can be expected from it.

If you shoot too high for the particular type of weight loss program you are on, you will be disappointed and find yourself feeling terrible. This feeling could lead a person to over eat for the day or simply give up all together. Since you do not want this to happen to you it is important to make sure that you are setting realistic goals. These goals should fall in line with what is healthy. As long as the diet plan you are on is a healthy one then you should be fine with whatever amount of weight that you are able to shed on a weekly basis.

Also, it is important to make sure that you are keeping certain factors in mind. While you may have a goal to drop six pounds a week, for example, that may not happen every single week, even if you are on the best weight loss program in the world. This is simply because your body will go through changes and will sometimes retain more water then other times. And if you are working out, the increase in muscle mass may affect the number you see on the scale. It is perfectly fine to have goals but it is important to make sure that you are a little flexible with them in order to stay focused and feel good about yourself.

I just watched the movie He’s Just Not That Into You and it made me think about all of the dumb things we do when dating. Women really do think all of the things that the movie says. We really do believe that he will call us back even if it has been a week. He had some terrible accident and is in a coma. His grandmother died and he is in mourning. He got mugged and your number was
