Good news from Germany! According to Spiegel Online Germany are planing to build 30 offshore wind farms containing 2,000 windmills in the North Sea and Baltic Sea. The wind farms are supposed to help Germany reach their goal of getting more energy from renewable sources. As Germany are planing to phase out their nuclear plants by 2020 they really need to find some alternative energy sources. Since the current government is pretty right wing I doubt that they are keen about closing down all the nuclear plants.
I wrote earlier about that Norway are planing on building some enormous wind parks. Seems like the North Sea will be crowded with windmills.
I hope it will make a difference!
Learning based on computer courses can be very effective in some situations. One example of a type of course that can be taught with computer based training is excel training.
There are also courses for leadership skills that can be very helpful.
Another type of training where computer based training is available is pmp training (project management training). This is a great alternative to regular classroom training.
Illegal logging is a big problem in Mexico with over 64,000 acres (26,000 hectares) being chopped down every year. This makes Mexico one of the countries that are loosing their forests at the most rapid speed.
Last week Mexicans all over the country planted over 8 million trees trying to counteract some of the destruction of the Mexican forests.
The planting was done by volunteers and even the Mexican President, Felipe Calderon, planted a tree (although that sounds like a big PR stunt to me).
There were some criticism from Greenpeace because they believe that the tree planting will not solve anything and the government should do more to stop the illegal logging.
I agree with Greenpeace, but I find it positive that the Mexican government is showing positive signs of taking more care of the environment.
In under a month I am moving to a new home and this house is pretty old. I might have to do some renovation of the house and that includes the bathroom. Renovating bathrooms can be a very costly affair so finding good prices are important for me.
A website that offer good deals on Bathroom Suites is Better Bathrooms.com. This company based in UK has been in the business since 2001 and their online store has over 3000 available products. As Better Bathrooms.com buys products in big bulks, from the various brands, they are able to give us customers discount prices.
The online store offer a wide variety of different products like bathroom suites, whirlpool baths, bathroom tiles, showers, bathroom furniture and much more. They also got sections for clearance sales where you can find good deals and save some money.
Personally, I would especially love to get a whirlpool bath and body jet shower system in my new home. A setup like that would be perfect to get home to after a long and tiring day at work.
Another interesting part of the Better Bathrooms.com website is a section where you can read about what other customers thought about the company. You can check out what the customers have to say in the Customer Reviews section. This seems like a good place to shop bathroom appliances if you live in UK.

A new study from FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations) conclude that land degradation is an increasing problem in big parts of the world. The study has been ongoing for 20 years and show that more than 20 percent of all cultivated areas, 30 percent of forests and 10 percent of grasslands are undergoing degradation.
This is a big problem as 1.5 billion people depends on the land that is degrading and this can cause starvation for the people involved. This in turn can cause mass migration and destabilization.
Something that would help on land erosion is turning bigger parts of the agriculture industry to organic farming as this type of farming cares about erosion.
Cyprus is a popular travel destination for many people here in Norway. This small island in the eastern part of the Mediterranean Sea got its popularity because of the friendly, warm weather that we do not see very often here in the cold north.
I would love to some day visit Cyprus to experience the warmer climate and their unique culture.
When going there I would probably hire a car to easier get around on the island. A website called Rhino Car Hire lets you easily hire a car on Cyprus. You just have to fill out a form where you enter the dates you want to hire the car, your age and what kind of car you want to hire. Then the website give you a list of available cars that you can choose from with detailed information about each car.
Check out their Car Hire Cyprus offers if you are looking to hire a car on Cyprus.
The website also let you search for cars for hire worldwide if you are interested in hiring a car elsewhere.
As I have mentioned before on this blog I am moving to a new house in the southern part of Norway in about a month. In this new house I might need to do some renovation as the house is quite old. Using glass tiles to renovate the kitchen is one option that I am considering. It could also be nice to use glass tiles in the bathroom.
A glass tile company called Wholesalers USA has a wide variety of different types of glass tiles for sale. The glass tiles vary in both size and of course design. I especially like the stained glass tiles as they have a bit of a natural look to them.
They are also selling other items such as crafting books, magnets, picture frames and much more.
As they are shipping all over the world through USPS, international users can also shop from this firm without any trouble.
If you are buying glass tiles Wholesalers USA even have an ebook in pdf format that describe in detail how to install glass tiles in your home so there should not be any problems renovating your kitchen or bathroom with glass tiles.
Wholesalers USA also have an affiliate program. If you have a suitable website you can sell their products on your site and earn a nice commission.
