SICK PUPPIES

Do you know what does puppy mean?




Sick Puppies is an Australian rock[1] band, formed in 1997. 
Sick Puppies rose to prominence in 2006 when their song "All the Same" was uploaded along with a video to YouTube. The video supported the Free Hugs Campaign
 which was launched in Sydney.

It has since received over 77 million views on the website.

The Free Hugs Campaign is a social movement involving individuals who offer hugs to strangers in public places.[1] The hugs are meant to be random acts of kindness—selfless acts performed just to make others feel better. International Free Hugs Month is celebrated on the first Saturday of July and continues until August first.

This success followed up with Dressed Up as Life in 2007, which entered the Billboard 200 at number 181. .

EXTRA INFORMATION


WHICH IS THE CAPITAL OF AUSTRALIA?







Canberra viewed from Mount Ainslie.jpg
Canberra (/ˈkænbrə/ or /ˈkænbərə/)[10] is the capital city of Australia.
iThe site of Canberra was selected for the location of the nation's capital in 1908 as a compromise between rivals Sydney and Melbourne, Australia's two largest cities. It is unusual among Australian cities, being an entirely planned city outside of any state, similar to Washington, D.C. in the United States or Brasília in Brazil. Following an international contest for the city's design, a blueprint by the Chicago architects Walter Burley Griffin and Marion Mahony Griffin was selected and construction commenced in 1913.
The Griffins' plan featured geometric motifs such as circles, hexagons and triangles, and was centred on axes aligned with significant topographical landmarks in the Australian Capital Territory.
The city's design was influenced by the garden city movement and incorporates significant areas of natural vegetation that have earned Canberra the title of the "bush capital". 
As the seat of the government of Australia, Canberra is the site of Parliament House.
