On the one hand, the popularity of electric cars is growing, on the other hand, due to the imposed sanctions and the departure of the best manufacturers from the country, it is difficult to talk about any development.

We talk about how to defeat annoying dust.

Where does house dust come from?
Dust is tiny particles with a diameter of up to 0.1 mm that enter homes through windows and ventilation, as well as on the soles of shoes. Apartment residents themselves become effective “producers” of dust: this includes scrapings from human skin, dander and pet hair. In it you can find the remains of insects, fragments of feathers, fungal spores and particles of various building materials. Every day, from 30 to 60 mg of dust enters our body.

Scientists recently conducted a study of house dust from 35 countries. Depending on the city, it contained arsenic, lead, chromium, nickel, manganese and other elements dangerous to the body. And ticks that feed on dead particles of human epidermis pose a health hazard. Their secretions often cause allergies and asthma. Therefore, people with such diseases should approach dust control thoroughly.

How to beat dust
To get started, you can take some inspiration from the staff at Winchester Cathedral in the UK. For four weeks they cleaned the statues and other decorations of the sanctuary from a layer of centuries-old dust. If they succeeded, then so can you.

Tips to help you stand on your board less and save a lot of energy.

Use leftovers
Often, an uneaten dinner is simply thrown away or put away to clear one’s conscience in a container that sits there for weeks until the next inspection of the refrigerator. And in vain.
Yesterday’s meal will save you from having to cook another lunch or dinner from scratch. Just heat it up in the microwave and eat it – it’s already boring and not so tasty. Try these other options instead:

Add leftover grains to soup or salad for added flavor and texture.
Stew yesterday’s side dish, say, rice, with butter, egg and vegetables: a few minutes – and lunch is ready.
Lightly brown the meat and vegetables in a frying pan, add cheese, lettuce and wrap everything in pita bread – you’ll get a beautiful improvisation on the theme of shawarma or burrito.

Achieving cleanliness and order is not so difficult

A real “pandemonium” of real and not-so-real things quickly gathers on the kitchen work surfaces. Jars and bags of spices, sponges for washing dishes, rolls of paper towels, glasses with spatulas and whipped cream, all these “treasures”, if too many of them, make the room look cluttered and take up space needed for cooking.

Here are some tips to help you make your desktop tidier and free up more usable space.

Remove everything unnecessary.
Try to lay out the tabletop with a critical eye and leave on it only those items that you use regularly and are lazy every time. For everything else, try to find a place in the closets.

Thousand Islands Archipelago

This vast archipelago between the United States and Canada among the waters of the deep St. Lawrence River is in itself a majestic and amazing creation of nature. But our selection included only one island, whose name translated into Russian sounds like “just enough space.” Maybe it is so, the area of ​​this land fragment is 311 “squares”.

The island has been owned by the Sizeland family since the mid-1950s, when the clan patriarch purchased it and built a holiday home there. Over time, the light panel house was replaced by a stone one, which was more solid and capable of withstanding spring ice drift.
