The thing with magazine publishing isthat, as Editor, I have to mentallyplace myself about three weeks

ahead of the present. It seems summer hasonly just begun yet already this issue celebrates (if that’s the right word) thereturn to school. And, as soon as this issuegoes to press I will be planning theOctober Village Tweet and will doubtlessfind myself in Halloween mode with theevenings well and truly drawing in!

But that is all in the future. For the present I will enjoy the summer. Well, Iwill when the rain stops!Grahame

Does the thought of visiting the dentist fillyou with dread? Do you break out in thecold sweat of sheer terror? If so, then

please don’t pass this fear onto your child. Yourchild must be relaxed about visiting the dentist fortheir future health and wellbeing.

Good dental habits start young. Introduce yourchild to the dentist as early as possible by takingthem with you when you go for your regulardental check-up. This will get them used to thesights, soundsand smells of thedental surgery.Your dentist maytake a quick,casual look inyour child’smouth, ostensiblyto count teeth,but also to checkgently for anyearly problems.This willencourage yourchild to feelcomfortable in thechair.

Get your childused to teethcleaning – start as soon as the first tooth showsthrough their gums. Brush gently with a specialbaby toothbrush. Supervise teeth cleaning untilthey prove they are proficient enough to do itthemselves. Plaque-disclosing tablets stain theplaque so your child can see it. This is good forencouraging a thorough brushing routine. Anelectric toothbrush especially designed forchildren is very effective. Fluoride toothpaste isvital, fluorine in the water is a bonus, not areplacement.

Most children have their entire set of 20 milkteeth by the age of three. Proper development oftheir permanent teeth depends upon thecondition of these first teeth, so it’s essential tocare for them. Milk teeth are small with thinenamel so problems spread quickly. Adult teethstart to grow by the age of six and most shouldbe evident by the time they’re 13.

Apart from accidents, there are twopreventable causes of damage to children’s

teeth; toothdecay and dentalerosion. Bothhave similarcauses. Acidsfrom sweet foodsand drinks,including fruitjuices, eat intothe tooth enamel.Water or milk arethe best drinksfor children.

Fissuresealants are wellworthconsidering. Thisis a special filmused to cover the

vulnerable molars which have deep, hard toclean crevices. The sealant protects the toothsurface from decay. Sealants are quick andpainless to apply and last for years.

Regular dental check-ups are essential toprevent future, potentially traumatic, treatment.Help your child grow up with a healthy set ofteeth and gums.

Good habits created while the child is youngwill stand them in good stead for the rest of their life. Suki North

Britain is a nation of bad-back sufferers. Fourout of five of us are affected by chronic lower-back pain during our lives, and according to

the Brain and Spine foundation it accounts for 5% ofsick days.

The term ‘bad back’ describes everything from atorn disc to a compressed spine. Poor posture is thecause of many backproblems. It sounds odd,but the sudden pain wemight experience whenlifting a heavy object isnot caused by the act oflifting, but by the 30-oddyears of sitting badly thatpreceded it!

Drivers and officeworkers are the mostsusceptible to lower backpain.

When we sit at a workstation we tend to hunch,forcing our spine into a C shape. Sitting properlymeans that your thighs are parallel to the floor andyour feet are flat (you may need a thick book to raiseyour feet slightly to achieve this). Your upper armsshould hang vertically from relaxed shoulders andyour forearms parallel to your desk (your chair mayhave to be raised to achieve this) you should tuckthe chair in fully to support your back, remove thearms from your chair if necessary. Your screenshould be just below eye level so you don’t have tostoop or stretch to see it. In this position your spineforms the correct S shape and your weight isdistributed correctly.

When driving, our back should be relaxed into thenotch of the seat back, which should be angled at10-15 degrees from vertical. Our elbows should becomfortably bent by 70-80 degrees and our armsshould be relaxed.

Anyone who sits for much of the day might wantto invest in an orthopaedic lumbar support like theeezzeebak, which can be attached to any chair,including a car seat, and which encourages correctposture, helping to reduce back pain. A seatingwedge can also help by placing the pelvis in thecorrect position allowing the spine to stack correctly.

Surprisingly, the besttreatment for back painis exercise, not rest.This is becausemovement increasesthe blood supply to thespine joints, nerves andsurrounding muscles.Improving stomachmuscle tone helps tosupport the spine andso reduce back pain.Gentle exercise such aswalking, cycling andswimming is best.

Pilates and Yoga are very beneficial as they improvecore strength.

Chiropractors are very helpful if pain is acute. TheNational Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE)recommends ‘manual therapy’ (manipulate andmassage) for the treatment of back pain. Don’tforget that a regular maintenance check up onceevery three months or so can keep back-pain at bay.Acupuncture has also been found to be useful forreducing inflammation and relaxing deep tissuemuscles in spasm. The good news is that only 1% ofback pain cases require surgery, usually for atrapped nerve or a damaged disc.

Problems like tumours or serious nerve damagedo occur, but are extremely rare. However, if yousuffer with back pain, it is always a good idea tobook an examination with your GP/Chiropractor prior to making any lifestyle changes.

Back AgainSolving back pain

Three simple exercises to relieve back painIn order to achieve a strong, healthy, stable back, regular exercise is required. The exercises shouldstrengthen the muscles supporting the spine, and also the abdominal and oblique muscles that encircle thetrunk like a corset.Those of us stuck at desks for most of our working day can try these exercises whenever we have a fewminutes spare. Try 10-15 repetitions and hold each position for a count of 15.1. While sitting at your desk, put feet flat on the floor and hands on the edge of the desk. Push back,arching your spine into a convex shape, then reversing it into a concave position.2. Stand about 30cm from a wall and place hands against the surface at shoulder height. Bend elbows tosupport upper body and, using abdominal strength, lift heels while keeping the back straight.3. Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, about half a metre from a wall. Face the wall and lean against itusing hands, the back should be straight. Reach up with right arm and simultaneously lift left leg backwardsand upwards. Repeat on the opposite side.

It’s September and back-to-school time. Thereare lots of new experiences to look forward to,and a couple best avoided. One of these is the

dreaded head lice which seem to become moreof a problem each year. Even the PrimeMinister’s childrenweren’t immune!

About the size of asesame seed, headlice feed on bloodfrom the scalp, oftenhiding near the napeof the neck andbehind the ears. Theyprefer clean, longhair – much better forclinging to the hairshaft and for easiertransmission (theydon’t fly or jump!). Anadult louse can lay 4or 5 eggs (nits) a dayfor up to 10 days. These hatch after 7-10 days,usually on the top of the head where it is warmand humid. A louse attaches eggs to the base ofa hair using saliva-based glue. Before feeding itinjects an anaesthetic into the scalp. Both thisand the glue can cause intense itching.

Insecticide-free remedies are preferable forthose who suffer from eczema or asthma, youngchildren and pregnant or lactating mums, due tothe possible side-effects of malathion, permathrinand phenothrin. A degree of resistance to thesechemicals is also becoming a problem.

Wet-combing to remove lice and nits using aspecialised comb, such as the Nitty Gritty, withthe addition of hair conditioner or olive oil, is alsothe best treatment if there are any open sores

due to scratching. Clean the comb with an oldtooth brush or rinse in water between eachcombing. Olive oil is useful as it suffocates lice,but it can take a few washes before it iscompletely removed.

Adding a few dropsof eucalyptus,lavender, rosemaryand neem oils to oliveoil, and massagingwell into wet hair willfurther help toweaken the lice.Cover with a towel ora shower cap andleave on for at leastone hour, thenshampoo thoroughly.Remove the eggswith a comb toprevent more licehatching at a later

date, and repeat twice more at 3 to 5 dayintervals. Always carry out a patch test beforeusing, and always protect the eyes.

Following treatment, the above oils can beadded to shampoos as a natural preventative.Hot wash bedding, and check clothes and softtoys. Warning others (as the PM did!) will alsohelp. There is no shame in having head lice.

There are a number of herbal treatment lotionsand preventative sprays, such as Delacet,Fairytales, Nice ’n’ Clear and Not Nice to Lice,available from chemists or online, but wet-combing is still essential to remove the eggs.Delacet claims to kill both, as does Quit Nits, but these may be tricky to find in the UK. Sue Blain, Naturopath

Oh no, not nits again!Treat them. Naturally

Our doctorwill review your blood test results together withyour food dislikes, medication and medical historyto produce an eating plan specific for you.

The SureSlim eating plan draws upon a numberof different ideas about weight loss and nutrition.Low glycaemic index foods, low saturated fatsfoods, fruits, vegetables and seeds are allincorporated to compile a healthy nutritionallybalanced eating plan. The plan does not count

Iron-onlabels save time,but can peel off aftera few washes. Makesure you havespares.Stationery. Whatchild doesn’t love a new, filled pencil case. Itgets the school year off to a good start. Buy afew extras too so they’re available for whenjunior suddenly announces, “I can’t possibly

go to school becausemy favourite pen ismissing”.Hassle-freemornings. Create anarea near the door forall school items.Ensure all bags,sports equipment,musical instruments,shoes, etc ‘live’ thereat all times. No moretime-wasting andmorning stress,scouring the placefrantically for missingitems. Well that’s thetheory … it must beworth a try! Get asmuch as possibleready the nightbefore.

Spot the Difference – Solution

Maths TuitionNot sure what the Key Stage 3 test

results mean? Neither do I!KS3 is a vital foundation for GCSE. If yourchild is struggling at KS3, then GCSE willbe a constant battle because of weak basics.For example, ask your child what minus 100

divided by minus 10 equals, or what 5 divided by one half equals? If the answers to

these simple questions are not 10, thenhe/she might already be struggling.

Start now to get back on track with weeklyone-on-one private lessons that will graduallybuild confidence and reinforce the essential

maths skills your child needs.

Explanation and practice – it really is verysimple to turn maths into a strength instead

of a weakness!

ARE ANY OF THE FOLLOWING PESTS A PROBLEM FOR YOU?

Rats MiceWasps BeesAnts FleasRabbits MolesBirdsWoodworm treatments available

Wasps. I cannot believe how active and hostilewasps have become since I wrote my lasteditorial. So many people are being stung on aregular basis as the following examples illustrate:

Only yesterday children at a birthday party werehaving fun running around in the garden playinghide-and-seek. One child hid behind a bush andtrod on a wasps’ nest, which was secreted down amouse hole. The wasps came out and attacked,the little girl was viciously stung and had to betaken to hospital. Her party was ruined, but thiscould have been avoided because the parentsknew about the location of the nest and shouldhave asked me to treat it beforehand. The nesthad been seen while tending to the garden.Please take this into consideration for the sake ofand safety of, your children as well as your pets.

We also had a lady washing off her deckingone Sunday morning and deciding she would turnthe hose on a wasp nest entrance site under thesoffit and fascia of her bungalow, only to findherself attacked. Later, in hospital, there was acount of 231 stings to her body. Her lungscollapsed and she spent several days in IntensiveCare. Please also take note from this that allnests do need to be treated just as soon as you

identify wasps on your premises whether house,garden, shed, retaining walls, etc. Enough aboutwasps I hear you say!Moles. Perhaps I can explain why moles are soactive at the moment. The recent flush of moistweather, much needed for our lawns andvegetable plots, has brought all the worms backup to the surface. And guess what, you avidgardeners? Old moley is right behind them. At thefirst sign of heaving (mole hills), you should get intouch with me to set some underground traps.This is one of the few things that we, as pestcontrol technicians, use our skill and experienceto outwit the moles on their travels fromharbourage (shelter) to food source without theuse of toxic chemicals.

Some pest control technicians sadly resort tomethods using gas. This is not necessary and isnot good practice underneath the root structure ofyour vegetable plants. They may begin to glow inthe dark! Colin Richardson

Millions of years ago, of course, Billingshurstwould have been covered in forestation, wheredinosaurs roamed in tropical heat. The source ofwhat is now oil and gas.

Nodding donkeys already work the oil field,

just outside Pulborough, by the Rugby pitch, andoil has been found at Forestside, near Chichester(worth about £290million).

So here, we farmers are growing the rapeseed oil in order to sustain energy for the futureas well as producing an excellent culinary delightcalled ‘Sussex Gold’, which we sell, and makecakes from, at Burdfields.

Toy shops are bewildering places at the bestof times, but sometimes they become myidea of hell, full of over-excited children and

stressed parents – or sometimes the other wayround!

Some of these places are the size of smallEuropean countries, so how on earth are youexpected to zero in on the perfect item?

The best place to start is at home. Look atwhat your child plays with and, equally important,what they don’t.

Perhaps your child is very imaginative andenjoys dressing-up and role-play games. Ormaybe they enjoy building or drawing or solvingpuzzles. Maybe they’reintocomputergames.

Next,takeaccount oftheir age.Most toysare labelledwith an ageguide andthese areprettyaccurate,even thoughwe all knowat least oneperson whoinsists theirchild wassolving5,000-piecejigsawsbefore theywere out ofnappies.

Of courseevery child isdifferent, so think carefully about your child’sabilities. The age range on a construction toymay be spot on, but if your six-year-old can’t sitstill for a nano-second they’re unlikely to beimpressed by a toy which requires sustainedconcentration.

Toys fall into various categories:Creative: e.g. play dough, art supplies, modelmaking.

Role-play: e.g. dressing-up, Play-Mobil.Construction: e.g. Lego, K’nex, Meccano.Musical: e.g. toy instruments.Puzzles and games: e.g. Jigsaws and boardgames.Action toys: e.g. go-karts, roller skates.Computer games: these can fall into almost anyof the above categories depending on which oneyou choose.

If your child habitually plays with toys in onecategory, then that’s a good sign that other toyswithin that category might appeal to them too.

If possible check out what the toy shop hasavailable before you visit. Try checking their

website or theircatalogue ifthey have one.Formulate a listof possibilitiesto help keepyou focused.

Children willnaturally haveideas of theirown. Asparents it’seasy to feelpressured toprovideeverythingthey ask for.There is a realskill in beingable to say‘no’. Perhapslet them makea wish list ofgifts, on theunderstandingthat only oneor two ofthem will

make an appearance on the big day. If nothing else it will help hone their negotiatingskills!

Finally, remember that the best and mostprecious gift you can give your child is the gift of your time. So get down on the floor and help them with the jigsaw or Lego model or just let them beat you on the Wii. It’ll make their day.

Of all the seasonal celebrations, the harvestfestival is the oldest and most globallywidespread. A successful harvest is still

critical to people across the world. With so muchinvested in this ‘life or death’ time of year, variousbeliefs and rituals have become associated withharvest time. Some of these survive to this day.

Saxon farmers sacrificed ahare, and also made an offeringof the first cut sheaf of wheat totheir gods. They believed thiswould ensure a plentiful harvestfor the following year. They alsobelieved the ‘spirit of theharvest’ lived in the last of thecrop to be reaped. Once thiswas gone they felt the spiritwould die, causing all futurecrops to fail. To prevent thiscatastrophe, corn dollies werecreated by plaiting straw fromthe last sheaf. Decorated withblue ribbons to representMother Earth, these figureswere revered as a safe placefor the goddess to sleep untilspring.

Once the harvest wasfinished, the landownerthanked all the workers by providing a bountifulharvest supper. At this merry banquet the corndolly was given a place of honour. After thefestivities, the figure was displayed in thefarmhouse until the following spring. It was thenploughed back into the ground to preserve thecycle of life. Smaller dollies were made by thefarm workers for their personal good fortune.

In medieval times the harvest celebrations

started on 1st August, with Lammas Day, whichmeans ‘loaf mass’. Loaves of bread were madefrom the freshly harvested first crop of wheat,and donated to the church. These preciousloaves were blessed, and then used asCommunion bread during a thanksgiving service.On Lammas Day, farmers customarily gave their

labourers gifts of new gloves.This was probably as protectionagainst the rough work to beundertaken at harvest time.

Modern Britain relies muchless on the success of home-grown crops. The contemporaryharvest festival has a differentfocus. It tends to drawsattention to people in othercountries, whose crops oftenfail. The church service is alsoa motivation to help those lessfortunate people in thecommunity. Nowadays, peopletake gifts of food to the churchas donations for the needy.

Harvest festivals are nowmore usually held towards theend of the harvest. Traditionallythey are arranged for thenearest Sunday to the Harvest

Moon. This is the full moon closest to the autumnequinox, around 22nd September. Churches aretypically decorated with local produce andsheaves of wheat for the service.

With more people than ever growing their ownfruit and vegetables, perhaps some of the oldrituals will make a comeback? You don’t have tosacrifice a hare though, corn dollies are easy to make, and very attractive! Suki North

John Nash is a retired, well sort of retired, fruitfarm manager in Kirdford who enjoys scribblingabout life on the farm from the now to days gone by.

We are rapidly approaching the time ofyear when the poets go all soft and dewyeyed. The time of mists and mellow

fruitfulness they say. The days when rosycheeked lasses and bronzed lads attend to theharvest of apples in the orchards of England.

I would suggest thatthose poets had nevervisited a modern orchardin full pick.

Long gone are thehuge trees, groaningunder the weight of fruit.Now long hedge-likerows of trees carry theirripened fruit all at easypicking height for thegangs of eager pickers.

The picking itself hasaltered but little. The fruitis picked into specialbuckets and is emptied via a bottom flap into thewaiting bins. These bins hold nearly a third of aton of fruit and hereby lies the first problem –they have to be moved around the orchards bymeans of a fork-lift attached to the rear of atractor.

The driver moves each bin down the row a pairof pickers are working so that they have not toomuch walking to do between bin and tree.

Now … most pickers when they have theirmorning break will use the bin as a back restwhile they have their refreshing cuppa. So,comes the time when they return to the pick, theycan be inclined to forget their bags which they

have left at the rear of the bin – also forgettingthat the tractor driver is unable to see behind thebase of the bin as he reverses.

The resulting crunch as another thermos andsandwich box is reduced to a flattened lump isalways greeted with much merriment by all withinearshot with the exception of the downcast owner.

The other thing that is at variance to the poetsis the weather. Autumn brings with it the rains.Rain on our good old Sussex clay brings thatwonder of the countryside … mud.

Sussex mud, howdoes it do it? You startwith the merest smudgeon your wellies andbefore you can turnround it’s climbed upyour leg and plastersyour trousers with itsown delicate hue.Wouldn’t be so bad ifyou didn’t have to get inthe car to go home!

So why do the pickersreturn? Year after yearthey come back to the

orchards, mums and their children and theirchildren’s children after them. It can’t be for themoney – the cars in the yard are testament tothat. I suspect that it is the companionship offriends over so many years, gossip to catch upon and the satisfaction of seeing the crop safelygathered in.

So comes the time to sip a glass and bidgoodbye to old friends. The last bin is picked andleaves the field, the gates are closed and theland prepares to sleep.

You know … perhaps the poets where not thatfar wrong after all. John Nash

Think of daffodils and you’ll probably think ofthe large yellow variety. They look fabulouswhile in flower, but can present some

problems for smallgardens. They are tall,unstable in high winds,heavy rains and snowfall,and they produce massesof green foliage whichmust be left to die downfor six weeks afterflowering. Only then canyou shear them off toground level.

Miniature narcissihowever were made forsmall suburban plots.They are under 12 inches/ 30cm tall and are muchmore stable in badweather, even heavysnow. As a bonus theirfoliage is neat so notparticularly unsightlyduring the dying-downperiod.

Just like the bigvarieties, if you plantthem now they willprovide pleasure formany years.

All daffs, be they largeor dwarf, need a goodstart. Make a hole roughlyfour times deeper thanthe bulb. It will seem likeoverkill, but the biggestmistake most gardeners

make with bulbs is shallowplanting. They will still flowerwell during the first seasons, but

becausethey are toonear the surface,they will find itdifficult to take inenough nutrients andwater to make reservesfor the subsequent years.The result will be a showof green leaves and notmuch else!

So plant them deep andthey’ll return year on year,looking more beautifuleach time.

Another great way toenjoy miniature narcissi is to plant them in pots. 10 inch / 25cm pots areabout the right size. Putsome drainage material inthe bottom then fill withpotting compost. Plant thebulbs just below thesurface then stand the potin the shelter of a wall.Water the compost whenit looks dry. Come thespring you should enjoy apot full of colour. Oncethey’ve finished floweringyou can plant them moredeeply outside and they’llcontinue to flower each year.

Despite living on ‘fresh air’, good-doers,and particularly those prone to laminitis,need a fully balanced diet to keep them

healthy. Nutrients like vitamins, minerals andquality protein are essential forgeneral well-being, healthyhoof growthand strongmuscle tone.

However, inthe summermonths manyowners of thelaminitis proneand good-doers limitaccess to grassand reduce, orcut out hardfeed entirely.While restrictedaccess tograzing willprobably be necessary in these instances, it isimportant to ensure that fibre and nutrientintakes are maintained. Even if you’re alreadyfeeding good quality hay or haylage it isunlikely that all the nutrient requirements ofyour horse will be met, ultimately leading topoor feet, a dull coat and lacklustre attitude.Additionally, some owners are often tempted tofeed overweight horses and ponies a smallamount of hard feed as a small treat whengrazing is restricted but this will not provide thevitamin and mineral they need while providingadditional calories they don’t!

In these instances a balancer, such as

Baileys No.14 Lo-Cal balancer, is ideal as itprovides a comprehensive balance of vitaminsand minerals as well as quality protein withoutany unnecessary calories! Designed to be fed

More NNew AArrivalsOnce upon a time on a small farm near Billingshurst …

Bailey and Magnus were having a good runaround in the vege patch. There were somegood places for Magnus to hide and they

both loved the long meadow grass bit. The vegepatch was right next to the chicken run whereBrownie and Goldie lived. They were a lovelybrown colour and laid good big eggs every day.They had been joined earlier in the year byAshley and Misty who were both grey. They layblue eggs every so often, and were not veryfriendly. They alwaysjust ignored the dogswhen they played, butGoldie and Browniealways had time for achat.

“Anne and Gary aregoing to thesmalholding show atArdingly,” Bailey toldthem. “We’re notgoing with themthough. We’re goingto the beach withMum and Dad.”

“What’s asmallholding show?”panted Magnus. Hewas always panting because he ran everywhereand had to go twice as far because he was sosmall.

“Hmm, I’m not too sure,” said Bailey, “I’ll keepmy ears peeled to find out.”

After the weekend, Bailey and Magnus caughtup with the chickens’ news.

“Guess what!” said Goldie and Brownietogether. “We’ve got some new friends.” With thatthey proudly showed the dogs the two newchickens in the smaller cage. “Meet Blackie andCola,” they said to the dogs.

Blackie and Cola looked at the dogs and thenback to the brown chickens. “Are they okay?”they asked hesitantly.

“Of course,” said Brownie and Goldie, “they’regood mates.”

“Hurump!” said Ashley and Misty, and struttedaway with their heads in the air.

“Oh dear, they’re such snobs,” said Brownie,and Goldie agreed, adding, “They don’t even laymany eggs. They’re just a pair of freeloaders.Even Anne said that. You won’t be will you?” sheasked with a stern face to the newcomers.

“Oh no!” they both said together. “As soon as

we’re settled we should start laying right away.”And so it was that within the week there were

some small very brown eggs in the nestingboxes. Maria was so pleased when she collectedthem that afternoon.

“Well done,” Goldie said to them. “Leep that upand you’ll be in competition with us.” But she saidthis with a chicken smile. Both she and Browniethought that Blackie and Cola were going to bejust fine in the chicken run.

But they hadn’tcounted on the greychickens who at everyopportunity peckedand pushed thenewcomers around.

Anne saw them andwas very cross withthem. “Alright, you twofreeloaders,” she said,and put them into thesmall cage bythemselves. “If youcan’t behave nicelyyou’ll have just staythere by yourselves.”

They had to staythere for nearly twodays. They didn’t like it

one little bit. They couldn’t roam or get thescraps. They just had to eat chicken food.

After two days, Anne said to them, “Are yougoing to behave now and stop being bullies?”

Ashley and Misty bobbed their heads andAnne let them out. Goldie and Brownie andBlackie and Cola all very graciously said “Hello”to them and before long all the chickens weregetting along just fine although the grey chickensstill tended to be a little aloof still.

But one thing was certain; they never wouldacknowledge the dogs at all. Bailey was just finewith that. She didn’t like them much either.

“But what is a smallholding show?” askedMagnus. He didn’t often forget the questions he’dasked.

“Well, obviously it’s a place where you get newchickens,” said Bailey knowingly before settlingdown for a snooze in her favourite place by thegarage.

“Oh,” said Magnus as he wandered away tofind a bee to chase. He was very impressed withhow much Bailey knew. Yvonne FFleece

Until we decided to drag our home computersystem kicking and screaming into the 21stCentury, I had no idea what Wi-Fi was. It

might as well have been witchcraft for all Iunderstood about it. I was intimidated by all theacronyms involved: Wi-Fi, WLAN and WAP …and what on earth was a‘router’?

Once it was all explainedthough it was actually quitestraightforward, so if anyoneis hesitating about what Wi-Fiis, why it might be useful, andhow to go about installing it,read on. This month we’reexplaining the basics.

Wi-Fi is simply a way ofobtaining broadband internetwithout wires. In order to dothis you need to create awireless local area network(known as a WLAN) in yourhome or office. A WLAN is alittle zone where yourpersonal computer, smartphone or games console canwirelessly access broadbandinternet.

First you need a wirelesstransmitter. This is alsoknown as a wireless access point (WAP). Thisreceives the information from the internet viayour broadband connection, and converts thatinformation into a radio signal. It sends this signalto your computer, which receives it via somethingcalled a wireless adapter, and converts it back toits original form. The whole process also works inreverse, so that the computer can send

information back again. Nowadays thistransmitter is generally part of another deviceknown as a router.

The router is the device which takes the singlebroadband internet account and allows it to beused by two or more computers or smart phones

etc. Most modern routersalso contain a modem, whichallows it to be pluggeddirectly into a broadband-enabled phone line, usingonly one socket andeliminating cable clutter. Thisalso means that it doesn’tneed to be right next to yourPC. However, wirelessstrength is heavily dependenton proximity, so try to makesure that no solid walls arebetween the router and thePC. If your house is large,the router will need to bemore powerful than if you livein a small apartment.

You also need a Wi-Fiadapter on every deviceyou’re planning to use on theWi-Fi system. Mostly theseare in-built on modernequipment, so check first to

see whether you need to buy one.Wireless signals have different specifications.

All are compatible with each other, but for bestperformance make sure any equipment you buyis ‘n’ specified, as this provides the strongest,fastest signal.

Next month we will discuss how to go about setting up your system.
