Plants that repel mosquitoes - what varieties are worth planting on the balcony or window sill?

-

 Mosquitoes buzzing around us as we relax on the patio or in the garden are an annual annoyance during the spring and summer months. How can you combat them? I  can recommend plants that will efficiently repel these bloodsuckers.



Mosquitoes are a type of insect that can be found worldwide. There are currently 40 categories of mosquitos and over 3.5 thousand species.


How to avoid mosquito bites in the spring and summer?

To protect ourselves from mosquito bites while at the lake, river, or forest, we must remember to spray ourselves with specific preparations, which often leave a sticky film on the skin and have an unpleasant odour. When we wish to relax in the evening in our garden or on our terrace, however, we can skip using anti-mosquito sprays. Plants that can be planted in the location where we are staying will aid us in the fight against these insects.


What are the best insect repellents? Plants that will frighten them away

There are a number of plants that are effective at repelling mosquitoes. Planting a handful of them is a fantastic method to make the odours that are unpleasant to these insects more obvious. The mosquito, or coleus plectrum, is the most powerful mosquito repellent plant. It is a member of the Lyme family. This plant has nettle-like leaves with pale stripes running down the margins. It is not only efficient at repelling mosquitoes, but it is also pleasing to the eye. Other plants that will keep you free of flying mosquitoes and their bites are listed below.

 A new governmental order will require virtual private networks to store user data for a minimum of five years. This is new national directive of the country's IT emergency response team, called. Photo by Kevin Paster: Pexel This is a policy that is probably going to make life harder for VPN businesses and VPN users. CERT-in announced on Thursday that the VPN companies of the country will have to keep the names of the clients, the physical and IP addresses validated, the habits of use and other forms of personal information. If the customer cancels their subscription or deletes their account, their information will always be stored in the company's servers according to the directive. Those who fail to do so could face up to one year in prison under the applicable law cited in the new directive. The directive does not stop at VPN providers.Data centres and cloud-based providers are listed in the same provision. India has a long tradition of putting the heavy hand to online activ

Brutal crackdown by the government could not deter people from coming out of their homes and heading towards Islamabad

-
 The government’s crackdown on PTI workers and supporters made it clear that they have decided to stop PTI’s Independence March at all cost. News reports say more than 1,000 PTO workers and activists have been arrested.  The government has called in the Rangers to maintain law and order in Islamabad and other major cities of the country, including Karachi. All entrances and exits to and from Islamabad were shut down, as was traffic between Lahore and the Twin Cities. The government has also instructed transport companies not to offer buses, cars, or vans to PTI workers. The manner in which Shahbaz and its allies are using state apparatus to prevent people from participating in the march is not acceptable.  The #WeAreComingKaptaan hashtag tells us that brutal crackdown by the government could not deter people from coming out of their homes and heading towards Islamabad.  Look what this government is doing spreading broken glasses on the road.

Everything you need to know about DDR5

 DDR4 memory is found on most personal computers. The next generation memory standard is coming out. Computers users expect increased performance and optimal power consumption  in the new chips.  If we focus on raw data, the main changes include a reduction in the voltage from 1.2V to 1.1V, and the 8n prefetch buffer will be replaced by 16n prefetch buffers, i.e. 16 bits per hour will migrate from memory cells to the IO buffer, while performance will be scaled from 3.2 Gbps to 6.4 Gbps per I/O connection. We can expect increased performance as some memory makers  have managed to enhance JEDEC specifications for DDR4.  The design of the DDR5 memory modules is based on 288 needles. The application of DDR5 will requires a new platform.  The DIMM has been divided into two channels. A memory module offers two 32-bit channels, of which there will be twice 40 bits with ECC. Between 8 bytes to 16 bytes the minimum stroke length varies. Sense a module uses two channels, it means it can double t
