Monday 2 November

I slept through the night woke at 4am and decided to stay up, had a rough start due to being hot and sticky I was going to wear my brown shorts, didn’t have any trouble getting them on but when I went to the toilet I was so sticky that I had trouble pulling them down and trying to get them up was a waste of time, I took them off and tossed them in frustration. I changed into my orange shorts easier to pull up and down.

I went with Sue to her doctor’s appointment then we went to Lake Fair to do some shopping. I had to take my shoes off as my feet were hot and I felt unstable.

Dinosaurs: Natural Weapons and Amour

~ joannerambling ~ 4 Comments

Today we are looking at what type of natural weapons and armour that dinosaurs have dinosaurs did not carry swords or wear metal armour. Instead, many had natural equipment built into their bodies: sharp teeth, powerful claws, horns, spikes and protective bony plates. These features helped them feed, defend themselves and sometimes compete with other members of their own species.

The Tyrannosaurus rex had powerful jaws and thick teeth suited to biting through flesh and bone. Its bite was far more important than its small arms when feeding.

Then we have the Velociraptor which had a large, curved claw on the second toe of each foot. Rather than simply slashing as films often suggest, these claws may have helped it grip and restrain prey. Scientists still debate exactly how they were used.

Moving on to the Triceratops carried two long brow horns and a shorter nose horn. The horns could have helped with defence and contests between individuals, while its large bony frill may also have played a role in display.

Some have spikes, clubs and protective armour such as the Stegosaurus had long spikes at the end of its tail, which could act as a defensive weapon. Its famous back plates were not a continuous protective shield; scientists have proposed roles including display and temperature regulation.

The Ankylosaurus was protected by bony armour embedded in its skin, called osteoderms. Its broad body and armoured back offered protection, while a heavy club at the end of its tail could deliver a powerful blow. Tail clubs may have been used against predators and in competition with other ankylosaurs.

Fossils reveal the shapes of these natural weapons and armour, but behaviour is harder to reconstruct. A horn or spike might have served more than one purpose: protection, display or competition. Dinosaurs were not simply prehistoric fighting machines; their remarkable bodies were adaptations to the challenges of staying alive.

Humans and non-bird dinosaurs did not live together, so dinosaur-mounted warriors and human-made dinosaur armour belong to fantasy rather than prehistoric history.

There was a right mess in the kitchen for me to clean up after my morning wash. It isn’t going to be as hot today thankfully.

What a morning, Sue jump started her car and shut the driver’s door when she went to disconnect the jump start machine the car auto locked and she doesn’t have a spare key so rang Sandy who went over to see is she could break into the car, she couldn’t and had to call a locksmith cost $154.

So, she wasn’t able to take me to the doctors, Tasha drove me and Sue was going to pick me up but instead Sandy picked me up, but she went to the wrong place and had to ring me to find out where I was. She did this as Sue took her car to the mechanic and they want the car overnight, so Sandy went and got Sue.

She then drove me home and just we got to my street she realised she should have drop Sue home first so she wouldn’t have to double back.

A Brief History of Television

~ joannerambling ~ 7 Comments

Today I thought I would write a bit about the history of TV.

Television began with an extraordinary ambition: to transmit moving pictures over a distance. It was not the invention of one person, but the result of decades of experiments in light, electricity and communication. What started as a small, flickering image eventually became a familiar feature of everyday life, bringing entertainment, news and distant events into people’s homes.

Early television systems used rotating discs to scan images line by line. In 1926, John Logie Baird demonstrated a working mechanical television system in London. Its pictures were small and low in detail, but they showed that moving images could be transmitted and reconstructed. Meanwhile, inventors including Philo Farnsworth and Vladimir Zworykin developed electronic approaches. Electronic television offered better picture quality and became the foundation of broadcasting for much of the twentieth century.

In 1936, the BBC began a regular television service from Alexandra Palace in London. Television was initially an expensive novelty with a limited audience, and the Second World War interrupted its development. After the war, broadcasting expanded rapidly. During the 1950s and 1960s, television became a household fixture in many countries. Families gathered to watch news bulletins, comedy, drama, variety shows and sport, often arranging their evenings around broadcast schedules.

Regular television broadcasting began in Australia on 16 September 1956, when Sydney’s TCN-9 went on air. The Melbourne Olympic Games later that year helped introduce audiences to the possibilities of televised sport. As stations opened in more cities and regional areas, television became an important part of Australian life. Viewers initially watched in black and white; the official introduction of colour television on 1 March 1975 brought a striking change to the home viewing experience.

Later developments changed both television technology and viewing habits. Cable and satellite services increased the choice of channels, while video recorders allowed viewers to save programmes for later. Digital broadcasting improved transmission and enabled additional services, and flat-screen displays gradually replaced bulky picture-tube sets. Internet streaming took the change further, allowing audiences to choose what to watch and when, rather than relying entirely on a broadcaster’s timetable.

The history of television is therefore more than a story of better screens. It is also a story of changing routines and shared experiences. From early mechanical experiments to on-demand programmes, television has continually evolved while retaining its central appeal: bringing moving images and stories to an audience.

After all that his back is aching. I suggested he apply a heat patch which he did, only to say20-minutes later that it wasn’t working as it was barely warm.

Tim found a box of stuffed toys that we sorted through and decided to toss some of them in the washing machine. Tim said he wanted to give some of the away.

This evening Tim moved my recliner from near the front door to near the dining room. I am in two minds about this as I like that now I recline it right back, but I don’t like that I can no longer see out the front door while in the recliner.

How to Make a Safe U-Turn While Driving in Australia

~ joannerambling ~ 10 Comments

I think anyone who drives has at some point made a U-turn, it may be a handy way to change direction, but if not done safely it may result in an accident or a fine it done somewhere it’s not legal to do.

So you should only make the turn where it is legal, and you have a clear view, also it should only be done when you can complete it without forcing anyone else to slow down or change course.

In Australia the road rules are broadly similar, but important details vary between states and territories. Always obey signs, traffic lights, lane arrows and line markings. Do not make a U-turn where a “No U-turn” sign applies, and do not cross dividing lines that prohibit it. At traffic lights, a U-turn may be permitted in some jurisdictions only when a sign allows it, while other jurisdictions apply different rules. Check the current road rules for the state or territory in which you are driving.

Make sure your car is position correctly. Move into the appropriate lane or as close as practicable to the centre of the road, subject to local rules, lane markings and traffic conditions.

Signal clearly indicate right for long enough to give other road users reasonable notice. Keep checking your mirrors and blind spots.

Remember you have to give way to everyone as you generally have to give way to other vehicles and road users, including pedestrians and cyclists. Wait for a genuinely safe gap.

My research says that you can only make a U-turn at a roundabout if there are signs and lane markings permit a U-turn at the roundabout. However, I have never seen any of that and have often made a U-turn at a roundabout.

Also, even if a U-turn appears legal, it may not be sensible. Use some common sense and don’t do it near blind bends or hill crests, in heavy or fast-moving traffic, near busy pedestrian areas, or whenever your vehicle cannot complete the turn comfortably.

A U-turn should be one smooth turn and not a three-point turn.

In NSW, making a U-turn at an intersection without traffic lights contrary to a “No U-turn” sign carries a current penalty-notice fine of $339 and 2 demerit points.

Here are some common mistakes to avoid

Assuming the same rule applies in every state or territory.

Starting the turn before checking for motorcycles, bicycles or pedestrians.

Relying on another driver to stop or wave you through.

Turning across prohibited line markings.

Making the manoeuvre when visibility or road width is inadequate.

Kathy video called me she is off work and want to thank me for her birthday present which had arrived, she said she loved what she got.

Tasha rang me while I was talking to Kathy, she was in a right state she was crying and hysterically as the painters had painted her walls a cream colour, she had only painted the walls at the start of the year white and white was what she wanted. Her cries and reaction must have touch one of the workers as he made a phone call and told her they would paint them white.

Tim received a package a large portable fridge/freezer, when he opened the box there was no battery with it. He said that he messaged the seller who said there was a battery included, however, when he showed me the text it didn’t say that at all, it told him where to get one. So now he is pissed with himself.
