The Paradox Of Our Times

“The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.

We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom. We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.

We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things.

We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships.

These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete...

Remember, to spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever. Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.

Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.

Remember, to say, "I love you" to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.

Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person might not be there again. Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.”

Kilimo Bora cha Alizeti - Uzalishaji, Uangalizi, Uvunaji na Uhifadhi

Utangulizi Alizeti hulimwa kwa wingi katika mikoa ya Shinyanga, Singida, Dodoma, Iringa, Tabora, Morogoro, Ruvuma, Mbeya, Arusha, Manyara, na RukwaZao hili hulimwa kwa ajili ya chakula na biashara. Mambo muhimu ya kuzingatia wakati wa uzalishaji Kuchagua aina bora ya mbegu Chagua aina bora ya mbegu inayovumilia magonjwa, wadudu, inayotoa mazao mengi na kiwango kikubwa cha mafuta. Vilevile chagua aina ya mbegu ambayo hukomaa kwa wakati mmoja ili kurahisisha uvunaji. Kuweka mbolea Rutubisha udongo kwa kutumia mbolea za mboji na samadi ili kupata mazao mengi na bora. Kudhibiti wadudu na magonjwa Alizeti hushambuliwa na magonjwa ya majani, mizizi na masuke ambayo husababisha upungufu wa mavunoHivyo ni muhimu kuyadhibiti ili kupata mavuno mengi na boraPia ndege hupunguza mavuno kwa kiasi cha asilimia 50 au zaidiNjia ya kudhibiti ndege ni kwa kuwafukuza na kupanda mbegu zinazokomaa mapema. Maandalizi kabla ya kuvuna;  Ukaguzi  Kagua shamba kuona kama alizeti imekomaaAlizeti hukomaa ...

Ufugaji Bora wa Kuku wa Kienyeji

UTANGULIZI Unaweza kuanza kwa mtaji wa Mil.1 mpaka laki tano au hata chini ya hapo. Mfano. Unaweza kutumia Tsh 250,000 kununua kuku 25 kwa bei ya Tsh 10,000 kwa kuku mmoja (kadirio la juu) Majogoo watakuwa 5 kwa uwiano wa 1:4 . Hii ina maana kuwa wakishaanza kutaga utakuwa na vifaranga 20 x 10 = 200 Watunze vizuri. Wale vifaranga tunakadiria kuwa makoo(majike) watakuwa 150 ambao ndani ya miezi 3 au zaidi nao wataanza kutaga. Utakuwa na kuku 200 + 25 =225 ndani ya miezi 6. Miezi 6 inayofuata 225 - (majogoo 55) = 170 Hii ina maana kuwa 170 x 10= 1,700. Ndugu mwanajamvi hayo niliyotoa ni makadirio ya chini sana hivyo mpaka mwisho wa mwaka utakuwa na kuku zaidi ya 2000. Mwaka utakaofuata utakuwa na kuku wangapi baada ya kuuza kuku 1,000. Mwaka 2. 750(majike) x 10 = 7500 (uza wengine) 3000 x 10 = 30,000. Kutegemea na uwezo wako mpaka mwisho wa mwaka wa pili utakuwa umefanikiwa sana. Kumbuka huu ni mwongozo tu, fanya utafiti na ufuatilie zaidi huku ukiacha kando uzushi wa vitabu vya wasanii ...

How to Save Watermelon Seeds for Planting on Small Garden

Watermelon seeds from this year's garden can be planted next year. Seeds saved from the fruits of your garden's non-hybrid watermelon plants (Citrullus lanatus) can grow into new plants the following season. Different varieties of watermelons can cross-pollinate, which results in seedlings that aren't exactly like their parent plants. So grow only one watermelon variety in the garden if you want to save the seeds. The large seeds separate from the fruits easily, but they require some preparation to store well. Properly saved watermelon seeds can remain viable up to four years. Cut open a ripe watermelon. Scoop the seeds from the melon's flesh, and place them in a strainer. Rinse the seeds with warm tap water, removing most of the pulp. Add one drop of liquid dish soap, and wash the seeds gently to remove the remaining watermelon juice. Rinse the seeds thoroughly with only water. Spread the seeds on a sheet of wax paper. Dry the seeds for one week, turning them once each...
