  The Video Sense
In my earlier post I talked about The Secret. I was searching the web to see if the was a video of it online whose link I could put here for people to find, and I found it. Now The Secret has some fantastic, awe inspiring information, but I believe is only one half of the equation. The other half is to take MASSIVE ACTION!

At about the same time, I came across a way of generating an income without any capital outlay and is very enjoyable, especially if you like making, watching and sharing videos online. You follow a ten step process, which is all laid out for you to follow, which take most the the hard work out! All you have to do is register for a free account and follow the steps.

The website is http://www.thevideosense.com/user/peterobot. If you are unable to click on the link, cut and paste it into the address bar. Feel free to browse through the videos that I have downloaded or submitted from either Goolge Video or You Tube. The first video I submitted was The Secret which you can watch here

  Happy New Year
Given the time of year, I thought this would be of interest.

Which Scottish poet wrote 'Auld Lang Syne' around 1789 and what does the title mean?

On which date was New Year's Day celebrated in Anglo-Saxon England and which Norman king first decreed that the year should begin on 1st January?

Which well known poet explored his changing religious beliefs in a poem entitled 'New Year Letter', first published in 1941?

In which theatre was Michael Tippett's opera 'New Year' first performed in 1989?

Which Year are the Chinese celebrating between 18 February 2007 - 8 February 2008?

The arrival of the New Year provides another opportunity to remind ourselves that there is a wealth of information on the various on-line services. A lot of these services are available through your local library service. In some instances, if you are a registered member of your local library service, you can access these services at home or terminals in other public access arenas.

The five questions above can be answered from on-line sources such as KnowUK, Encyclopedia Britannica and the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography. Searching for 'New Year' on KnowUK, to take one example, produced calendar information from Whitaker's Almanac, an article on the Scottish HogmanayCelebrations from the Hutchinson Encyclopedia of Britain, and tourist information on places to see in the new year from the Financial Times World Desk Reference. KnowUK also includes a listing of major events in 2007. From KnowUK, we learn that a health psychologist from Cardiff has devised a formula to find the unhappiest day of the year, which usually falls in January. Factors involved in his calculation include Christmas debts, poor weather, failed new year resolutions, and returning to work!

On that note, I wish you all a Happy New Year.
