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. The most expensive of them was sold at auction for 18,500 pounds. It was acquired by an unknown collector from Russia.

We wash the floors according to all the rules! Cleaning the floors - it would seem that it could be easier. But every flooring requires special care. Laminate is not afraid of spilled paint or heels. The only things that can damage the finish are scouring powders and metal brushes. Therefore, you need to wash it like this: some water, a cloth, squeeze it out and wipe it with a cloth - along the floorboard, that is, according to the pattern. Linoleum is afraid of hot water. Therefore, for him, the recipe is as follows: in warm water, we foam the laundry soap and wipe the floor. And then with a well-wrung rag we collect the remains of the foam. To prevent the linoleum from fading, wipe it well with drying oil or linseed oil about once every six months. It is even easier to care for a tile: just wipe it with a damp cloth. An old toothbrush dipped in vinegar will help to clean the darkened seams. The palace can be cleaned and refreshed in a simple way: add fabric softener and the same amount of shampoo to a small amount of water. Foam the solution with a sponge and apply it to the surface of the carpet. After 10-15 minutes, the palace must be thoroughly vacuumed. Parquet does not tolerate foam or water. A “wooden herringbone

Thing 1. WHOLE-HOUSE SOUND SYSTEM. If you’re like most of us, you have different speakers all around the home—some bluetooth, some wired, some requiring an amplifier, some needing to be recharged or have their batteries periodically changed. Cut the cacophony and wire your home for sound. One of the hardest parts of putting in a whole-home sound system is cutting through ceilings and walls to run wires and install speakers, but if you’re still in the building stage, this part is a breeze. Working with a kit to wire your home for sound is one of the easiest ways to go. A kit typically contains a base station plus a series of controllers that can be placed in rooms around the home. This allows you to create various zones in your house to which you can send different music streams. After you’ve chosen a base station, you’ll want to select speakers that recess into the walls or ceiling and connect them to the station as well. Those with repositionable tweeters let you direct the sound exactly where you want it, while speakers with inbuilt bass and treble controls let you further tweak the sound for every room. When running speaker wire through the home, be sure to use UL-rated speaker wire marked CL2 or CL3. Thing 2. RADIANT FLOOR HEATING. When it comes to making a home feel at once modern, comfortable and eco-smart, it’s hard to beat radiant floor heating. Installed on or in the subfloor, radiant floor heating panels typically use channels of heated water that give off heat to the floor above them. The result is a wonderful, all over heat that doesn’t have any of the allergy concerns of forced-hot-air or any of the uneven heating problems and noise often associated with radiators or electric baseboard systems. One of today’s smarter choices for radiant floor heating is Warmboard as they make panels that are super-conductive, which means that more of the heat from the water that runs through the channels is transferred directly to your home. The enhanced conductivity also means there’s less heat loss, which makes the system extremely efficient, and that Warmboard is also very nimble, heating and cooling down more quickly than other systems when you change the temperature at your thermostat. Thing 3. SPA BATH. The bathroom can be a simple utilitarian space or, with a little planning, it can become one of the most luxurious retreats in your home. When designing the bathroom, be sure to leave ample space for your shower and tub area and reinforce the floor beneath it—so that you can install a heavy-duty spa tub. These days, you can purchase all-in-one units that contain a massage-jet tub, multiple shower heads, and steam and sauna functionalities—plus a computer to control them all. It’s also possible to mount moisture-resistant TVs in the walls of your shower or bath area so that you don’t miss a bit of news or sports action. If that’s all too extreme for you, consider installing a remote control for your shower or tub which allows you get the shower warming up before you even step out of bed. Thing 4. HOME AUTOMATION. There are several options for home automation systems that do everything from controlling your lights to alerting you when the doors or windows are open, or even when there might be a fire or flood. There are thermostats that learn from your heating and cooling patterns and can be controlled via smartphone. There are speakers that can also be phone-controlled and can play different tunes throughout your house. And at least one company makes a hub that can tie it all together. Even though it’s easy to install home automation equipment in an existing home, doing so while you’re still building will ensure that you get everything exactly where you need it before you take control of your smartphone and pilot your house like the Starship Enterprise. Thing 5. OUTDOOR KITCHEN. There was a time when homes had summer kitchens—separate buildings in which food was prepared during the warmer months to keep the heat out of the main living quarters. Even though summer kitchens are a thing of the past, the logic remains: cooking outside keeps you from having to turn on the oven when the weather feels oven-like itself. When planning your outdoor kitchen, keep in mind that you’ll want to have easy access to utilities to plumb in a line for the sink, drain and gas line, if your home has natural gas service (otherwise, you’ll run your grill and cooktop off of propane, so make sure you build in space to store the tank). While you can construct your open-air kitchen out of stone into which your sink and cook surfaces can be set, a more affordable option is to build the structure out of wood and face it with stone veneer which will weatherproof it and create an equally attractive look.

Everyone probably has a grandmother's cast-iron frying pan. Such dishes are made of very good material that cannot be compared with the present ones, but sometimes it prevents a layer of old burnt fat from cooking in such a miracle frying pan that it seems to have eaten completely, but there is a solution and it is not expensive at all, and the result is simply stunning. To clean cast iron dishes, we need: 1.PVA glue medium jar 2.laundry soap 72% We need to grate the soap. Then in a basin or a large saucepan to fit our frying pan, bring water to a boil, so that the cast iron can be completely covered. When the water boils, reduce the heat and add the grated soap and glue, stir until the soap dissolves. We lower the pan into the resulting solution and cook it for 2 hours, add water if necessary. Such a solution makes the fat soft so that it begins to fall off by itself. Then we drain the water, cool the pan a little in cold water and finish the cleaning with a metal scraper. And such a result!
