GET READY FOR THE TV REVOLUTION!!

TV has changed very little over the last four decades. While we have gone from black and white to colour and the programs have become more sophisticated, the medium is still the same. A tv station broadcasts its images and our dumb receivers pick them up.

All this is about to change! A number of large companies and consortiums plan to provide the Australian public with more choice. There is a suggestion of delivering as many as 500 channels to people’s homes using an advanced fibre-optic network. The viewer will have the power to select the material he or she watches, to pause the program, slow it down or rewind it. Eventually we will be able to choose the camera angles. This will be part of the information superhighway.

Some of the services the information superhighway will provide are interactive tv, video, shopping, education services, video on demand and video telephone calls. Stay tuned!

 

 

Growing Beautiful Roses

General Information

v  Remove weeds and grasses.

v  Improve soil by digging in plenty of organic matter such as compost or manure.

v  Choose a spot that gets at least five hours of sunlight throughout the day.

v  In mid to late winter, cut plants back by one third, removing all flowers, leaves and dead stems.

Soil

Roses prefer a soil which has a good water holding capacity but is never waterlogged. A clay loam is ideal, but roses will grow in most soils. Improve light soils by digging in plenty of compost and prepare the ground by deep digging prior to planting. If drainage is a problem, try raised beds (at least 30 cm above ground level).

Feeding

Roses will grow in most soils with good results. It is often said that roses prefer clay soils. No plants like heavy clay soils, although roses will tolerate clay more than many other plants. The use of a liquid clay breaker such as Multi crop

 ‘Ground Breaker’ will be of benefit. Plus the addition of washed river sand, well-rotted organic matter such as composted cow manure will lighten heavy soils. Good drainage is vital. DO NOT put fresh animal manures or chemical fertilizers near the roots at planting time; these can cause severe root damage. If planting where roses have been grown previously it is vital to remove all the existing soil, say a barrow-full and replace. This will overcome a disease known as ‘rose sickness’ that can remain in the soil.

·         Feed with Yates Dynamic Lifter every 8 and 10 weeks during spring, summer and autumn.

·         Improve flowering and disease resistance by applying Yates Uplift every two weeks.

Position

Roses love lots of sun, but they will be fine with some afternoon shade. Most roses won’t do well in a very cold, windy position, but they do need good ventilation.

addicted to Facebook or smoking??

Your life is in your hands, to make of it what you choose.
Thousands of people stop smoking a day  by dying from it.
A cigarette a day keeps the doctor in pay!
The best way to quit is to never start.
Smokers don’t grow old…they die young…
therefore My parents should be proud of me  I’m addicted to Facebook, but not to drugs..

Facebook is like a jail!!

Facebook is like a jail, you sit down, waste time, have a profile picture, talk to wall and get poked by a friend that you don't know!
what do you thing guys!!! Do you agree with me???

Human lungs

Human lungs might be seen small in x rays,MRI's, CAT scans and all medical devices, but in reality not so true.
 Human lung have many layers and tissues if each layer was cut in a thin slice and stretched, it can cover a whole tennis field.
This might sounds not so true, but it has been tested by scientists and it was proven to be true.

The Health Benefits of Drinking Water

Water is a simple and essential element for our body.

•  The body is made up of between 55 and 75 percent water. Muscle retains more water than fat, therefore, the leaner the body, the higher the percentage of water.

• If you are trying to lose weight, water is useful to help you feel fuller.

• Most people who do not drink enough water on a daily basis have a reduced the ability to feel thirsty.

• A good formula to know how much water is needed is to divide your weight in half, and figure that number  in ounces of water.
