1930s: The Steamy Depression-Era “Modern Kitchen”

In the 1930s, the kitchen was being transformed from the antique kitchen to the “modern, streamlined kitchen” with time-saving features, better organization, and greatly improved ventilation. The “all-electric kitchen” was promoted in popular magazines with numerous advertisements showing newly designed appliances large and small. Mixers were a housewife’s dream now designed with numerous accessories that could sift flour, mix dough, grate cheese, squeeze lemons, whisk potatoes, mash, slice and chop vegetables, and even sharpen knives. “Depression Green” was the “in” color used on wooden kitchen utensil handles, kitchen furniture and tables, and kitchen utensils. Often the accessories were cream and green, replacing the black and white look of previous decades.

Other popular color combinations in the 1930s were gray and red or crimson, silver and green, pearl pink and blue, as well as the use of checkered patterns in textiles. Kitchen items, like cans and bread boxes, tended to be painted lightly with perhaps a simple decal.

In 1935 the National Modernization Office was established to promote modernization throughout the country. Manufacturers competed for better-designed kitchen appliances and accessories. Color began to enter kitchens in the 1930s and magazine articles featured decorating tips on color schemes and how to incorporate the kitchen into the rest of the home. The kitchens were no longer workstations, but received as much attention as the rest of the house. Appliances large and small were available in colors, and Sears and Montgomery Ward featured colorful cookware and “Japanese” accessories such as bowl sets, kitchen sets, cake liners, bread boxes, and trash baskets.

1940s: the colorful postwar era

The post-war kitchen of the 1940s began to become family gathering places and now tables and chairs made of chrome bases with enamel, linoleum or plastic tops could be added to a more spacious kitchen that replaced older kitchens more. small focused on work. Separate formal dining rooms were being replaced by kitchens that could accommodate family and guests. The kitchen was becoming a very cozy space and primary colors dominated the interior decorating palette. Magazines advertised products for his “Modern Gay Kitchen.” Combinations of red, green, and yellow or red and black were popular, as were brightly colored tablecloths, textiles, and curtains. Flowers, fruits, and Dutch motifs were all the rage and found on shelf paper, ornaments, stickers, and kitchen utensils. Appliances with streamlined designs, rounded corners and smaller proportions continued to be produced. The washer / dishwasher combination was introduced, as well as the garbage disposal and freezers for home use.

1950s: the atomic age, the age of pastel space

Dramatic changes would occur in the kitchens of the 1950s when the space age, atomic age designs and materials entered the picture. The kitchen of the fifties featured plastics, pastel colors like turquoise or aqua, pink and yellow (home colors), the Formica and chrome kitchen table and chair sets matched Formica kitchen countertops and were easy to keep clean with the messy little ones. After the war there was more time for leisure promoting kitchen utensils and accessories for picnics, barbecues, parties and home bar.

The introduction of color television in the 1950s brought full color to American living rooms, where housewives could now see all the interesting products and appliances available. After World War II, there was a new generation of plastics and a time to “live gracefully” and be entertained. Kitchens and homes saw the transition from glass, ceramics, and tin products to numerous types of plastics that made informal living easier. The Melmac and Melamine plates, the Lustro-ware and Tupperware storage accessories and the “thermowall” for picnics were a great success. Vinyl was used for tablecloths, chair covers, and furniture, and bark cloth with boomerang and abstract shapes was popular. Tablecloths and dishcloths continued to be brightly colored and souvenir textiles were added to the home with tropical, Southwestern and Mexican themes. Poodles, roosters and designs with kitchen utensils, teapots and coffee pots decorated with potholders, covers for appliances and linens. The appliances were built-in and came in 1950s colors like turquoise, soft yellow, pink, and copper.

Stronger federal rules will promote vehicles that will be 40% more fuel efficient by 2016. These national standards will align the US with other countries that are already making fuel-efficient cars. Starting in 2012, automakers will have achieved fuel efficiency for their products ranging from 37.8 mpg for passenger cars to 28.8 mpg for pickup trucks, SUVs, and pickup trucks.

Such changes can save millions of barrels of oil while reducing greenhouse gas emissions over the life of vehicles manufactured under the new regulations.

Energy-efficient compact and subcompact cars like Chevrolet Cruze, Mazda 2, Ford Fiesta or Fiat 500 are already an option for buyers, along with electric cars like Chevrolet Volt or Nissan Leaf.

A feature of fuel-efficient cars is the direct injection engine, a system that can produce maximum power by using high pressure to pump gasoline into individual cylinders. Turbocharging is another feature that enables small engines to perform similarly to larger ones.

The design and weight will improve the aerodynamics of the cars of the future with the use of aluminum and carbon fiber for the bodywork and low rolling resistance tires to further increase fuel economy. Although these cars will cost more, long-term savings can be made by reducing fuel consumption.

The US Environmental Protection Agency has also proposed a change to the fuel economy rating system for vehicles. There are two proposals to reflect the purchase of vehicles with lower emissions and better fuel economy.

One is a letter grade from A to D, to reflect both fuel economy and tailpipe emissions efficiency. The other is an MPG rating that compares vehicles for tailpipe emissions efficiency.

The current label, in the form of a window decal, is required for all new cars or light trucks sold in the US – on hybrid and conventional gasoline or diesel vehicles.

Some of the most efficient cars on the market today are 2010 Toyota Prius, 2011 Ford Fusion Hybrid, 2010 Mercury Milan Hybrid, 2010 Honda Civic Hybrid, 2010 Honda Insight, 2010 Lexus HS 250h, 2010 Nissan Altima Hybrid, 2010 Mazda Tribute Hybrid, The 2011 Ford Escape Hybrid and the 2010 Mercury Mariner Hybrid The fact that most are hybrids is an indicator of where green technology is heading in the automotive industry.

The Ford F-150 has been the best-selling car for 17 years, but in 2008 it was overtaken by Honda Civic and Accord or Toyota Corolla and Camry due to high fuel costs. American companies have reconfigured their lineups to stay ahead of the need for more fuel efficient models.

Hybrid technologies and lighter mass proved to be the most cost-effective strategies for achieving better fuel economy. The next-generation Prius and a plug-in version will further increase fuel economy in 2011.

Today we will learn some romantic words and phrases in Spanish. I had originally planned to write this article the weekend that Colombia celebrated “El Día de Amor y Amistad” (the day of love and friendship). In Colombia, the celebration of “El Día de Amor y Amistad” is like Valentine’s Day in the United States.

I gave my “girlfriend” “chocolates” and “roses”. And a “plush” (stuffed animal).

The “plush” was a “Smurfs plush.” Do you know who “The Smurfs” are in English?

“Los Pitufos” is the Spanish word for “Los Pitufos”.

On the weekend of “The Day of Love and Friendship” we “strolled” (we went) to a “pueblito” (little town). So I couldn’t send the email then. And considering that Latinos have a reputation for being passionate, intense, and hot-blooded lovers, an email covering this topic would be appropriate for “El Día de Amor y Amistad.” So here are “10 romantic phrases” that you can say to your “boyfriend / a”, (boyfriend / girlfriend), “lover” (lover), “husband / a” (spouse).

1. I miss you – I miss you.

Here’s another way to say “I miss you” …

2. I miss you – I miss you

In Spain, you may hear people say “I miss you” when saying “I miss you”.

3. I love you – I love you

Here’s a more intense way to say I love you:

4. I love you – I love you.

5. I love you with all my heart.

(I love you with all my heart.)

6. I am in love with you.

I’m in love with you.

A woman would say:

I’m in love with you.

I’m in love with you.

Notice that in the phrase “I’m in love with you” instead of using the Spanish word “with you” which means “with you”, in Spanish you use the phrase “de ti” which literally means “of you” or “of you”.

Here’s a very poetic way of saying “I’m in love” …

7. I’m in love – I’m in love.

A woman would say: I’m in love – I’m in love.

“I’m arrowed” literally means “I’ve been shot with an arrow” as in “Cupid’s arrow.” In Spanish, they call the god of desire, affection and erotic love from Roman mythology, “Cupido”.

8. I fell in love – I fell in love.

9. I fell in love with you.

I fall in love with you.

10. I want to marry you.

I want to marry you.

When it comes to occasions like birthdays, we all celebrate with birthday cakes, balloons, chocolates, and other delicious treats. But things are not the same everywhere. Different countries have their own way of celebrating birthdays. Let’s take a look at some of the more unconventional but interesting ways to celebrate this personal milestone.

Africa – Initiation ceremonies are held in various African nations for groups of children in lieu of birthdays. Children are made to learn the laws, beliefs, customs, songs and dances of their tribes upon reaching a certain age.

Argentina – On their 15th birthday, girls dance to the rhythm of the waltz with their father and other boys.

Brazil – Sweaters with lobes. The birthday boy gets a tug on his earlobe for every year he’s been alive. The birthday person also gives the first slice of the birthday cake to their most special friend, usually mom or dad. At the age of 15, girls waltz with their father and grandfather. Dance with a total of 15 couples, each of which symbolizes a year of his life.

Canada – Grease the nose with butter. In Atlantic Canada, the birthday boy’s nose is greased for good luck. The greasy nose is believed to make the birthday boy too slippery for bad luck to catch him. This tradition is reputed to be of Scottish origin. In Quebec, the birthday person is punched for every year they are alive and then one for good luck.

In addition to that, when you are celebrating your birthday, your friends give you the “blows”, they lift you up in the air by your hands and feet and lift you up and down to the floor, one for each year and then one for luck, two for the luck and three for the old man’s bogeyman.

Germany – A family member of the birthday person wakes up at dawn and lights candles on the birthday cake.

At school, the birthday boy may give his classmates chocolates or other things to eat, and the teacher makes the child a special birthday hat made of paper streamers and paper flowers.

Vietnam – Everyone celebrates their birthday in the new year. Tet is not only the beginning of a new year, it also means everyone’s birthday. The Vietnamese do not recognize the exact day they were born. A baby meets one with Tet, regardless of when it was born that year. On the first morning of Tet, adults congratulate children on growing up a year by giving them red envelopes containing “Lucky Money” or li xi. These envelopes are given to children by their parents, relatives, close friends, and siblings.

Brothers Michel and Dominic Bohbot’s first novel is a dynamic fantasy tale inspired by the love of speculative fiction instilled in them by their father. This is seen not only in the dedication of ZINTARA Y LAS PIEDRAS DE ALU CEMAH but also throughout the narrative.

They take us to another world, one that contains mythical and imaginary creatures along with human characters. There is a synopsis of many of the characters at the beginning of the novel and I admit that I had to resort to it several times during the reading, as there are many names and relationships for the reader to juggle. The Prologue finds a young Zintara, human in all features, apart from the large black wings that protrude from her back, being driven away by her mother when her family and empire fall violently. The antagonist of this story, Korban — human warrior and sorcerer — is in search of the three Stones of Alu Cemah that supposedly will give him the ability to rule over everything.

M’Hancha, her late father’s best friend, takes Zintara, who raises her and keeps her safe. We see Zintara grow into a young woman, her magnificent wings now displaying a powerful wingspan. She is confronted by Korban, in possession of one of the three stones, and threatens to kill her the way he took her mother’s life if she does not give him the location of the remaining stones. Zintara escapes, but the battle with Korban costs him his hand, a fact that he will undoubtedly seek to avenge to the fullest.

While Korban plans to find the other two stones, M’Hancha is doing his best to protect Zintara from further confrontation. He also seeks to keep her away from Prince Ardelann, heir to the kingdom of Takla, and the burgeoning romance that seems inevitable between them. It isn’t long before a member of his kingdom, the infamous Duke Galhuri, overtakes Zintara and calls her a winged demon and a traitor. She holds as evidence a coffin containing a bloody feather supposedly from Zintara and evidence that she attacked the ailing prince Ardelann. Zintara has no choice but to flee, on a mission to clear her own name and prevent Korban from obtaining the remaining stones.

M’Hancha advises Zintara to hide in the islands where she will be safe but still within reach. It is here that she literally finds herself and this includes an encounter with an ancient dragon that helps her recognize her destiny. Meanwhile, Korban has been successful in his evil search for the Alu Cemah Stones. To show the power they wield, their first act is to create a monstrous warrior in armor – a small sample of the abilities the insane wizard now possesses. The narrative moves toward the anticipated showdown between Zintara and Korban. He arrives mounted on an impressive dragon steed and, wearing a glove reminiscent of Thanos from the Marvel comics, displays the three stones that give him such powerful power that Zintara may not be able to defeat him. The Bohbot brothers are said to be working on the next novel in this new series that should continue the Zintara saga. ZINTARA AND THE STONES OF ALU CEMAH is an entertaining first effort as a novel, but for me the real winner is Michel Bohbot’s exceptional artwork with illustrations that truly bring the story to life on each successive page.

Common muscle building and protein formulas

You will find a host of formulas in order to decide how much protein to eat in an effort to improve muscle building. These formulas differ in that most are derived from an individual’s weight, many are based on an individual’s calorie allocation, several clearly suggest a regular sum regardless of any other factors, and then there are several that recommend a certain level of protein in each meal. what are you eating.

In this article, we are going to talk about several ways that tend to be recommended to calculate your daily protein requirements for anyone trying to optimize muscle building. As a comparison, we will use a 31-year-old male who is 5’10 “tall and weighs 180 pounds as the basis for calculating protein requirements based on various prescriptions.

Recommended daily allowance

Probably the most typical system for determining your protein needs depends on the recommended daily allowance (RDA) established through the American Food and Nutrition Board. They advise 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of weight every day for healthy adults. One kilogram is the same as 2.2 pounds, which is about 65 grams of protein per day for a person weighing 180 pounds. It is critical to note that this is actually the recommended amount for adults to maintain their current lean muscle mass. Those considering building lean muscle may need to eat more than the suggested amount.

Grams of protein according to body weight

Since the RDA is generally considered a baseline and is not always applicable for anyone trying to build muscle, it is generally suggested to improve the amount of protein to 1 gram per pound of body mass every day. In this situation, a person weighing 180 pounds would need to consume 180 grams of protein per day. In this case, that will lead to a 275% increase over the RDA. What may seem like a dangerous increase, but some of the proposed formulas are even higher than this.

However, another easy formula determined by body weight recommends two grams of protein per kg each day. Since there are 2.2 pounds in a kilogram, this creates an amount somewhat less than 1 gram per pound of body weight. In this case, a 180-pound male would need 164 grams of protein per day.

An interesting formula that I have found is based solely on lean body mass. The concept is that you should not take body fat weight into consideration when contemplating the use of protein for muscle building. In such cases, it is really suggested that you use your lean mass in kilograms times 2.75. One of the difficulties of this strategy is that you must have an idea of ​​your body fat percentage in order to determine your muscle mass in kilograms.

Following these formulas, a 31-year-old man who is 5’10 “tall and weighs 180 pounds (21.5% body fat) would need about 176 grams of protein per day.

Surprisingly, these formulas do not vary significantly in terms of how much protein our 180-pound male should have on a day-to-day basis. So far they range between 164 and 180 grams a day. In fact, this may be the best variety of protein for building muscle. You can find other formulas available, however, that end up recommending drastically more protein.

For example, some tips recommend that 40% of your daily calories really should be total protein calories (TPC); Since there are 4 calories per gram of protein, TPC / 4 will provide you with grams of protein per day. According to the RDA, an active 31-year-old man weighing 180 pounds will require 3,149 calories per day. 40% of these (1,260 calories) must come from protein. This means that our man should eat 315 grams of protein a day to maximize muscle growth.

However, others recommend 40-60 grams of protein with each meal regardless of any other factors and also tell you to eat six meals a day. This means consuming 240 to 360 grams of protein on a daily basis. This approach is much more in line with the classic volume and cut method, however it may not be for everyone. This approach has worked for several men and women, but not all are considering gaining 30 pounds of fat while building 20 pounds of muscle mass.

What exactly is right for you?

We’ve covered a host of different formulas to identify how much protein you need to eat each day when trying to maximize muscle growth. As you can see, there is no perfect formula, even among experienced lifters and authorities, as to how to determine the proper amount. In reality, your strategy for building muscle and protein should depend on your goals.

What role does sand play in your life?

After finishing an extensive scientific article collected by the national media,

my mind raises the question of sub-vox,

“What is the writer saying in plain English?”

If I leave the answer blank, the page is removed.

“A Penn researcher studying high achievers says it’s not IQ, grades, or leadership skills that lead to success. It’s good old-fashioned perseverance.”

The essence of the research is that success in everything is about ‘passion’,

(intense emotion), which is awakened through ‘courage’. A synonym for courage is courage or willpower, heart and perseverance.

And that?

The proforma answer should now list all the ‘positive’ emotions that produce

passion and determination, starting with love, joy and tranquility.

Surprise! The intense emotions that trigger determination begin with anger, envy, fear, and jealousy. In fact, we are motivated ten to one by ‘negative emotions’ to create massive changes in our lives.

“That’s not fair! I deserved that promotion. I’m smarter than her. Look at that.

New Mercedes in your driveway, son of … It should be mine. Something has to

exchange! And the killer negative feedback motivator, “You can’t talk to me like that!”

University of Pennsylvania Professor Angela Lee Duckworth Tells The Secret

sand is “doggedly pursuing something long-term.” You sure know

But given that the typical American watches television for up to five hours a day, who has time to

courage and / or passion?

Left and right brain skills

What about ‘ordinary people’, without exaggerated IQs, who believe

successes?

“Perseverance and determination is the secret because we learn from our ‘mistakes’.

Working on a skill on a daily basis produces ‘Kaizen’, small improvements that

they add to massive reactions. We improve, little by little, until we own the ability

or knowledge through practice “.

Why do they call it “trial and error”, not “trial and success”?

Answer.

We learn from our mistakes and rejections, not from successes because the secret is

negative feedback. Mistakes make us feel stupid and we get angry. The result is to punish ourselves to learn to avoid these mental and emotional insults.

Once we have learned the successful strategy, we keep repeating it until it continues.

autopilot. That is called programming or conditioning, not learning. We learn by

obsess over our mistakes and rejections (negative feedback) and demand

a practical solution.

Successful people become compulsive in overcoming their ignorance in a particular area; negativity causes passion and determination. When you can spit your nails out of frustration, another negative emotion, you are the goal of winning.

Courage and passion were mutually reinforcing, activating our left and right brain at a 75% / 25% ratio, instead of the normal 90/10. Courage (courage), changes the structure and function of our brain, starting with our state of mind. Interrupt

your comfort zone, and you will work 90 hours a week to pass the bar exam

because your image of yourself is at stake.

Examples of

Research on 1,223 freshmen entering West Point best predicted success

than IQ, SAT scores, and previous grades. This matter of bravery was a better predictor of winning than anything else for contestants in a National Spelling Bee and children in

an elite preparatory school. It applies to them and to all of us.

Until you get mad, excite the amygdala of your brain, you and I will seek distractions and refuse to take the time to win the marbles. If you are not passionate about something in a negative way, it is an impossible dream, not a reality.

Final words

Professor Duckworth has the gall to say: Courage is more important than intelligence.

Grit (heart), trains us to overcome obstacles. She is working on how

train people to have this brave ability.

The reason courage and passion are in short supply is not the availability of television, the Internet, and video games. It is boredom that covers us like a wet blanket in a

storm every time we decide that what we are reading, watching and listening to is not linked

For our benefit. Remember the powerful question: WIIFM (What’s in it for me?)?

Our ego has this WIIFM sign nailed to our imagination screen. There’s a

immediate disconnection as soon as the answer is “Nothing!”

Courage and passion keep us focused on discovering the details of any new idea or knowledge that is in tune with our deepest needs and desires.

Convince us that we can benefit from what you have to say, and we are all glued to

the chair in a trance. Professor Abraham Maslow said, ‘Self-interest makes us

in the flow, in the zone, and produces a maximum experience. ‘

All it takes to wake up is to respond to WIIFM with “A lot!”

A. Einstein said, “None of my discoveries came from logical thinking. Imagination is more important than knowledge.”

Edward Lorenz at MIT, created The Butterfly Effect, and its principle,

“Small changes lead to massive reactions. Predictability: Does the flap

of the wings of a butterfly in Brazil, caused a tornado in Texas? “

Finally

Can you answer these two questions?

1. What was the last thing that you became obsessive and compulsive about?

2. What does it take to awaken your courage and passion?

Our system for empowering people to have courage is not talking to death, but offering

specific skills for dealing with boredom and normal distractions.

We call them BIS (TM) Behavioral Intelligence Strategies, two minute energy programs

to condition your mind to determination and passion.

You will recognize them by the six steps to practice. It is always your decision

if you learn these techniques.

Do you have to lose your income (downsizing, outsourcing merger, or bankruptcy), before you get angry enough to decide to change your destiny?

My friend’s mom from San Antonio used to say, “A little grits goes a long way.”

Be brave and win your personal game.

See you,

If you are looking to buy a cat, you should consider the different breeds of cats out there. Since there are so many breeds of cats, this can be a daunting task. Selecting the wrong breed can cause you and your family a lot of distress, as the wrong breed can be a misfit. But selecting the right one can give the missing spark you’re looking for to light up your home.

So here are 4 helpful tips to get you started.

1. Vocal or pretty cat?

Some cats can actually “meow” a lot and also quite loud. If your home environment (and neighbors) can support a vocal cat, do so. If not, think twice.

The investment property dilemma

Investors seeking diversification have frequently turned to a rental property or collection of rental properties to balance and spread risk across their investment portfolios. As with any investment, people need to consider all the problems, problems, and pitfalls along with the potential returns. Unfortunately, many investors are unaware of potential problems and don’t take the time to investigate these issues before closing the escrow. A property management course and a basic real estate investment course would be a great investment of time for someone who views rental properties as a long-term source of income and investment. Some of the issues and concerns are discussed below.

Inexperienced agents and uneducated investors make a deadly invention

Rental property investors often use the services of an inexperienced realtor who does not fully understand rental properties, who does not fully understand return on investment, and who does not fully understand what capitalization rates are. Most of the time, these investors simply turn to their friend “the realtor” or use any real estate agent they are familiar or comfortable with to buy this type of property, sad as it may sound.

The fact is, most real estate agents are not smart enough to understand rental properties, cap rates, return on cash, return on investment, leveraged investment, and common terms associated with rental properties. investment. To compound this fact, most investors are initially equally inexperienced and lack the proper experience to locate and purchase a high-yield investment property. No one needs to look beyond this question: Why would an owner be selling a high-yield investment property? That question should be the first of many asked by both the broker and the investor. One problem is that some investors are so excited to get into a property that they look beyond the truth and numbers and just want to take control of the property. This is often a flawed approach because most agents will hesitate to stop the anxious buyer for fear of missing out on a good commission.

The property management profession is an equalizer

After an investor has closed the escrow, if the inexperienced agent has not offered to ‘manage’ the property for them, many of them decide to manage the property themselves (only licensed real estate brokers can manage rental properties). When these unsuspecting landlords are faced with the niceties of Fair Housing laws, Equal Opportunity issues, civil rights issues, nondiscrimination issues, bad tenant selection issues, notices of noncompliance issues, eviction issues, and, finally, collection issues, many times they turn to a professional property manager or property management company to help rescue their sinking ship.

If rescued on time, a professional property manager can reverse an investment property and help the investor’s decision pay dividends. With a competent property manager, the return on investment can be realized and the owner can really have time to enjoy the investment, without worrying about it. The property management company will take care of the investment, maintenance, tenants, and all attendant problems associated with the property.

Property Management Education Course

Educating both inexperienced realtors and novice investment property owners about prudent property management is critical to maximizing the investor’s return on investment. It is rare for a homeowner to successfully manage their property or properties and get the most out of it in that particular market. The reason it is rare is because the typical landlord-manager does not use the latest and greatest property management techniques, software, screening procedures, and most importantly, does not keep up with the changing laws between landlords and landlords. tenants. Every January several laws seemingly increasingly favored by tenant-debtors are enacted that most people are not aware of. When a new law goes into effect, that’s another potential danger that the lone ranger owner must violate and end up on the wrong side of the complaint.

The surefire way to fix this potential problem is to hire a property management company to manage and protect the owner’s investment and most importantly maximize the return on investment. Another way to fix this problem is for all landlords to take a property management course and learn the profession from scratch without going through the heavy blows of experiencing tenant problems first hand.

Finally, a homeowner could hire a property management company that, in addition to all the typical staff, also has a real estate attorney on staff who can solve and answer all the legal questions that seemingly end up front and center. This would be a truly informed and easy decision for the owner to make.
