Most eggs are produced in China, and this is no less, 160 billion pieces per year. For comparison: in the US, this figure is 65 billion. A chicken will never hatch from a store egg, even if it is placed in an incubator, as these eggs are not fertilized. In general, chicken is one of the very first domestic animals; it was tamed in China around 1400 BC. One chicken can lay up to 250 eggs per year. Moreover, this is not the limit of its capabilities: experiments have shown that by manipulating the light, it is possible to make the chickens rush a lot more. The color of the yolk directly depends on what the chicken eats. An ostrich egg must be cooked for 2 hours to make it hard-boiled. It is very difficult to break it, not many predators have come up with an effective way to enjoy this delicacy. You can’t say about the Egyptian vulture, which throws stones at the top of an egg, and then, breaking the shell, regales its contents. Did you know that eggs also breathe like any other living creature? The egg shell has small pores through which air passes and excess moisture comes out. In 21 days, during which the embryo, and later the chick, spends inside the egg, it absorbs about 4 liters of air and releases about 3 liters of carbon dioxide, as well as 8 liters of water vapor. Christians paint eggs for Easter, but the Chinese do this before replenishment in the family, because the egg in China symbolizes the continuation of life. And if it is painted red, then it will become a symbol of happiness and prosperity. With a simple egg, you can easily play a friend by making a jumping egg out of him. It is enough to lower it in a glass with vinegar and wait a few days. Then ask a friend to break the raw egg, throwing it from a height of, say, 15 meters. You will see how he will try. The largest omelet was cooked by a Mexican cook, its weight was 600 kg, and it consisted of 500 yolks. Blind assistant cooks became record-breakers for speedy egg cleaning; they managed to clear 12,600 eggs in less than 8 hours. Just think: humanity eats 567 billion eggs in a year, and this number is growing every year. It is also interesting that the size of the egg directly depends on the age of the chicken: the older it is, the larger its eggs will be. The founder of modern horror films, Alfred Hitchcock, was afraid of eggs. This phobia is called ovophobia. And the most expensive eggs, of course, are Faberge eggs.

1. First of all, you need to accustom yourself to regular wet cleaning. Take only a couple of minutes in the evening to wipe the shoe removal area with a damp cloth.

These items are rarely used and therefore collect dust, which then spreads freely throughout the house. 3.

Method 1. Deep Clean. Your home simply cannot be too clean to sell. Invest in a deep cleaning, either by using your own elbow grease or hiring a professional cleaning service. In addition to the regular cleaning chores of dusting, vacuuming, and mopping, be sure to tackle rarely cleaned areas including vents, baseboards, cabinets, blinds, and doorknobs. Steam-clean the carpets, wash the walls and windows, and replace any broken windows or screens. Method 2. Improve Your Kitchen. Improve Kitchen Cabinets. One of the things buyers look for above all else is a great kitchen—but remodeling your own can cost a lot. Instead of a complete overhaul, change out the little things. Ugly cabinets? Paint, new hardware, or even resurfacing costs less than a full replacement. Method 3. Paint Panache. Choose a Neutral Paint Colorю You may love your red walls but chances are that a prospective buyer will not. Add a fresh coat of interior paint in a neutral color, such as white, sand, or putty. A semi-gloss paint will make the walls seem brighter; an eggshell finish can be used to hide minor imperfections, such as drywall dents or small plaster cracks. Method 4. Improve your storage system. Add storage solutions. Storage space is one of the top items on buyers' wish lists. Make use of all the closets and pantries you have by buying and installing inexpensive organization systems. This is especially important if your home is old and closets are few and far between. Method 5. Check for Hardwood Floors. Refinish Hardwood Floors. Hardwood floors are a very desirable feature—and they're often hiding right under your wall-to-wall carpeting. Pull up a small corner of the carpeting in an inconspicuous area to check the condition of the floor. If there is hardwood underneath, you can remove it and restore the original floors—much more cost-effective than replacing the carpeting or installing new floors.

Reason 1.

You will reduce cleaning costs. Do not wear shoes in the house to vacuum. Just as a matter of common sense, taking off your shoes before the door will reduce the amount of dirt that gets into the house. No matter how well you wipe your shoes on the mat, particles still cling to the grooves and crevices of your shoes, especially those with rubber soles. And when it rains, shoes become an even bigger hazard to the home, leaving wet, muddy streaks on clean floors.

Reason 2.

You'll Banish Toxins. No shoes inside toxins. More than just dirt clings to your soles; toxins get a free ride indoors too. A Baylor University study showed an increased risk of cancer in people who lived near coal-tar-sealed asphalt pavement. Coal tar particles and other contaminants can easily be picked up by shoes and brought straight into our homes.

Reason 3.

You'll Stay Healthier. No shoes inside health. Bacteria found on shoes include strains that cause infections like meningitis, diarrhea, and even pneumonia, according to a study conducted by Charles Gerba, a microbiologist at the University of Arizona. As well, a study in Houston that examined household contamination with Clostridium difficile spores found that almost 40 percent of tested shoes carried the bacteria, which can be resistant to cleaning products and difficult to treat with antibiotics.

Reason 4.

You'll Strengthen Your Feet and Legs. No shoes physical health. How often do you walk around without shoes? Orthopedic medicine has found that there are multiple health benefits to ditching your footwear frequently, including better balance, stronger leg muscles, and improved posture. Make the most of your opportunities to wiggle your toes at home.

Reason 5.

You'll Create Sacred Space. No shoes sacred space. In many countries in the Middle East, Asia, and Africa, going no-shoes at home is the norm. While the tradition may have cultural roots, it can be adopted and adapted to fit any lifestyle. As one of its many benefits, the custom establishes a positive ritual that honors your home and creates a sacred space.
