Do you believe in reverse osmosis. It is the process of filtering membranes in order to filter out unnecessary bacteria from water. High water purification is essential in this world as the population grows and water becomes more sparse. Reverse osmosis is most commonly known for its use in drinking water purification from seawater, removing the salt and other substances from the water molecules.

Brazil is the country estimated to have the largest supply of fresh water in the world. The distribution of the worlds water is fascinating. 97% is saline salt water. The remaining 3% is fresh for human consumption. Ice caps and glaciers make up 68.7% of earths fresh water. Ground water is at 30.1% whilst the worlds fresh surface water is estimated at lakes 87%, swamps 11% and Rivers at 2%. Although global warming does release a great deal of fresh water into the sea, which in turn affects the environment around the world. Drought warnings are already being released for next summer.

I really want to go and see that film 'Contagion' but I think I've missed the boat, I can't find any cinemas that are showing it!

It's a thriller about a deadly disease outbreak and stars loads of people including Gwyneth Paltrow, Matt Damon, Jude Law, Marion Cotillard, Kate Winslet and Laurence Fishburne.

One of the biggest reasons I want to see it though is because it stars Gwyneth Paltrow, Matt Damon and Jude Law in the same film together for the first time since filming 'The Talented Mr Ripley' in 1999. Now that is a good film!

I love the weird relationship that Tom Ripley forms with Dickie Greenleaf, the way he worms his way into people's lives and is able to take on their personalities, and how despite him going into a downward spiral of crime and murder you're sort of still rooting for him. It's pretty dark!

I can't find my 'The Talented Mr Ripley' DVD but I still have the movie file with loads of others on my r4 card so I might load it onto my laptop and watch it tonight. All this talking about it makes me want to watch it!

The Battle of Agincourt took place on Friday 25th October 1415 near modern-day Azincourt in northern France. The battle represented a major English victory against the French army during the Hundred Years’ War though the French army was numerically superior. The Battle of Agincourt was a turning point in the Hundred Years’ War after which Henry married the French king’s daughter and his son, Henry VI, was made the heir to the French throne.

Charles IV, King of France, did not command the French army as he suffered from severe and repeating illnesses and a moderate form of mental incapacitation. Constable Charles d’Albert commanded the French alongside various prominent French noblemen. In complete contrast, on the English side, Henry V led his troops into battle and actually participated in hand-to-hand fighting! Perhaps the most memorable aspect of the battle was the prolific use of the English longbow on the English side, the English and Welsh archers (not the managed hosting providers) forming the majority of Henry’s army.

From 2009 to 2010, there has been a staggering 5% increase in world energy consumption. The cause has been a renewed demand for energy in industrialized countries which had experienced a sharp decrease in energy demand in 2009. The trend converges with a continuous trend in China in India where energy consumption shows no sign of slowing down but only increasing.

As a result of the economic crisis, 2009 saw the first reduction in world energy consumption for 30 years. In Europe, CIS, and North America, energy consumption shrank by 5%, 8.5%, and 4.5%. China’s energy consumption on the other hand, has only been increasing, regardless of the economic crisis. In 2009 its consumption increased by 8%, leading China to become the world’s largest consumer of energy, consuming 18% of the world’s total. That’s a hell of a lot of led gu10 bulbs!

A white dress is no summer of mine! A white dress should be the staple item in every girls wardrobe.

The white dress goes with everything – leggings if it gets cold, a bright cardigan for a funky day outfit and a sparkly jacket for an evening outfit!

And if you were brave it could even be kept for the winter and worn with a big woolly cardigan! It is such a versatile piece of clothing!

My favourite one I have found so far is by Pepe Jeans. It is £60 and an atique white colour. It looks lovely and stylish too.
