Is Plastic Good or Bad?

There are too many opposite opinions about different plastic objects we use in our everyday life. Most of them are more or less about the pollution of the seas and oceans where there are entire islands of rubbish mostly composed from plastic bottles and bags as different organizations denounce. Someone says that one of these islands is bigger than all the state of California.

There were interesting pics in Facebook these days



We are too numerous to control the situation maybe but, in theses cases, I think about those countries that have good experience of recycling of plastic and rubbish generally. I can not understand, why it's unpossible to use these just known and effective technologies for benefit of ALL the planet? It seems to me, there are cases when every person has to think not only about money...

The other side of this problem is that plastic is very comfortable stuff to create really everything: from walls, deviders and vases for flowers to fountains, covers for bags and greenhouses.



As in every other situation, there is not absolute evil and absolute good.

But we have to invent something to save oceans!

My New Roses Began to Flower

This year I decided to make something to ornament my balcony. I tryed with different plants in all the period I live here but the sun is too heavy here and the only flowers that could survive were roses and petunias.

Petunias are excellent but I am a little tired to seed them every year. Roses could solve my problems: I wanted resistent plants which flower all the period and can survive some days if I am not at home that means they can remain without water for 2-3 days with the temperatures we have here in summer. These are roses.

I buy always author roses if I have to buy them. When I purchased my first roses by a retailer from Holland who operates in Italy, too, the roses were good, yes, but something was wrong with them, I could not understand what it was. When I bought the author roses next time, those were completely different plants. The colors were so as it was declared, the plants grow so as they had to grow accordingly to the description. From that time I bought 3 plants of roses by the same retailer when I had to add something to my order but they did not grow in the way I expected (they had to flow down as a cascade but they grow like mini-roses).

Today, I know the difference.

There are original roses and those created from the branches. In this case, the plant can grow as the "mother" but it can change the qualities, too. So, you can plant cuttings and you can have the same or very similar quality of the plant. But it can change something.

This is probably an example:


and here are the examples of my new roses

German Kordes "Roter Korsar" velvety red, very nice. The best of this rose is that the first flower is still fresh for more than one week or even two. I never had so long-lived completely open rose.



"Supernova", Barni, opened it's bouquet today.



This is "Tesorino" of Barni, too. It has to be more than 1 meter large.



"Sungirl" of Italian Barni this is the very first flower. It is cascade rose and I think, I'll show you the splendid cascades of flowers in short time.



Different roses of Meilland I planted later than all theses others and they are still too little. But all the roses started to grow, finally.

Singular Ways to Win AIDS

Любовь и голуби

AIDS is surely one of the most terrible modern diseases. There are nations that are subject of it, there are other nations like Caucasians, they say, who do not contract it too easily. In any case, statistics published in different media are worrying. And if we remember those statistics about other dangerous venereal illnesses when physicians say "It seems to me from time to time that all this town sleeps under the same bedspread", we can understand  some politicians who try to save their countries inventing all kinds of remedies.

Notices of some days ago tell us about the very worried about the destinies of Zimbabwe members of it's government. 14% of the population of this country have AIDS. They need to find something to fight the illness  urgently. Brainstorming took to following solutions invented by the senators:

1
Since men of Zimbabwe can't resist on the charm of the women, it's necessary to approve the law that will forbid all the women to wash themselves. To increase the effect, they have to shave all the hairs on their bodies.
The result has to be that the women will become less attractive for the men.

The keen and analythical mind of senator found the other cause of sexual attraction of their women in beautiful clothes. That is why, the second part of the law he suggested is to forbid the women to dress clean and nice.

2
But the attempts of the government to solve the terrible problem do not finish here. About a year ago, a senator-woman requested from researchers to find a medicine that will make that men do not betray their wives.

3
The second part of this proposal was for prisoners this time. To close this channel of the AIDS distribution, the senator offered to provide all the prisons with sexual toys.

Well, I don't know if it will be enough...

Animals-Soldiers

Animals were widely used in all kinds of wars from the beginning of the times. It seems, the very first animal arms that served humans were ...bees. Our ancestors used to throw hives in the caves of not very friendly neighbours when the negotiations did not go in the right direction.

The list of the animals we used for these aims is long. There were 20 camels in Stalingrad, they transported cannons. Elks were used by secret services to reach enemies without noice. Infected flies, fleas, rats were thrown in the towns and fortifications from the airplanes in the modern times and with the cannons in the antiquity to win the enemies. Rattlemice with explosives were thrown from the airplanes: they entered under the roofs of the houses.

Did you know that the hens are very sensitive: they feel chemical substances in the air and the attentive owner can go out in time from the room if it becomes dangerous.

The light of the fireflys can be enough to read an important document.

I don't tell you about horses and elephants. And I would not tell you about dogs and dolphins if... If not an interessting peculiarity: they denied to kill. Well, dogs, used to explode the tanks, did it without intention. They were simply afraid of the roar of the tanks in the battles.

Dolphins and seals were  used as real killers: they had needles tied to the noses. It was enough to touch a submariner to make him die. Seals were brave. But dolphins, seen that persons die, did not want to repeat it more.
