The most-most streets in the world

Ebenezer Place - the shortest street, whose length is only 206 centimeters! On this ulitsedazhe is building, but only one has addressed Ebenezer Place, 1, constructed in 1883. This hotel, held by the city authorities recommended that cause the street name on the short side. 4 years after this street was officially "discovered. "

The longest street
The Pan-American Highway (Pan-American Highway) is the longest highway in the world. Earlier this title held Yonge Street in Canada, but after some remodeling and renaming the title passed to the Americans. The length of this highway 48,000 miles and it connects the cities of North and South America, crossing the United States, Canada, Mexico, Peru, Argentina and El Salvador.


The narrowest street
Parliamentary street (Parliament Street) in Exeter (Exeter), England is the narrowest in the world. At the thinnest point of its width nearly as high as 64 centimeters. Originally it was called Malaya ul (Small Street), later on the special instructions of the parliament she received its present name. It was built in 14 century, the length of the street about 50 meters.


The oldest road
As you might guess, the oldest street in the world is in Egypt, and this is the way to Giza. This is the oldest paved road, its age is more than 4600let, and the width is about two meters. The length of this ancient 'highway "of 12 kilometers, it connects to the quarry from the south-west of Cairo, leaning on the Nile Corniche. This road is believed to be used to transport stone blocks used for construction and decoration of the pyramids and the road itself.


The widest street
Street on July 9 (9 de Julio Avenue) in Argentina, which is named in honor of the independence of the state, is the widest street in the world. It has six lanes in both directions and takes the width of a quarter. On this street, "registered" by many famous buildings such as the building of the Ministry of Communications, Embassy of France, a statue of Don Quixote, and other monuments, and takzhePloschad Republic (Plaza de la Repblica).


The most crooked streets
Dubious title of the curve the street belongs to Lombard street (Lombard Street) in San Francisco. Why it has such a strange shape, it is unknown except to say that at the very catchy plot street has 8 turns, one-way traffic on it and there is a severe penalty for parking within its limits.


The most confusing turn
One "simple" reversal, located in Swindon (Swindon), England. Built is a marvel in 1972, and includes, in addition to the main ring rotation for 5 (pyat!) extra. To completely confuse the driver, you can add that on the central ring can be rotated only counterclockwise, as opposed to an extra. It is not surprising that this outcome is set numerous world titles, including "The worst intersection. I find it hard to imagine how one can go to, say, left the road at the bottom, and the drivers, especially newcomers, I do not envy you.


Most illegal street
I do not know what to call it more precisely, except to say that in England it is the only street where you can move on the other side - on the right, in contrast to the whole of England, where the left-hand traffic. This has happened historically, due to the fact that the horse carts make it easier to land the passengers is on the right side, without stopping the main motion. Permission to hand traffic fixed by a special law of Great Britain. Many streets and roads in the former Soviet Union can also boast that drivers move over them, generally not respecting any of the parties, but it's still not enshrined in law


Steepest street
In the city of Dunedin (New Zealand) has an interesting street on behalf of Baldwin Street. Its main feature, as you can see from the pictures - nemeryanaya slope, and in the literal sense - the angle of inclination of 35 degrees! Many cities in the country located on the rocky slopes, and the problem of New Zealand lies in the fact that most of its urban planning Englishmen who have never visited the construction site, so a straight line on the map turned into a steep slope in the terrain. The street is so steep that the upper part is made of stone, in contrast to the lower and most other New Zealand's streets - except in hot pogoduchast cover located on top, just dripping a slide down.

Relationship with her husband after giving birth

How to stay attractive to her husband after giving birth? With the birth of a child a lot is changing in the lives of young parents. Not enough time for themselves, each other. It seems that life has changed dramatically and there will be no such light and carefree relationship as before. But in reality it is not.

It is difficult only in the first months after the birth of your baby while you get used to him and he to you, yet your body is not switched to a new schedule, and unless you adapted to combine care for your baby with your personal life. At this time, is difficult, not only you but also your spouse. Of course, my husband does not have to sit all day with the baby, but it takes a while to get used to the idea that he became a dad and you have new concerns - not only about him, as it was before, but also about the small, helpless lumps that is so in need of love and attention. Therefore, in this period is extremely important to treat each other with understanding and respect and help each other and not to worry over trifles. Create a home atmosphere of warmth and comfort to you both feel comfortable and wanted to spend together as much as possible. Relationship with her husband after the birth of a child requires the same attention as before. Pay attention to her husband every day, ask, how are things in his work, which took place a new day? This is necessary to love not feel deprived attention that he knew that now you need him no less than before, but rather with the birth of a child love to him multiplied, and he was added responsibility, and there are new worries.


Do not be afraid to ask her husband to help you with your child. It is clear that he was tired after a workday, but ponyanchitsya with the child for a while until you are setting the table or doing another, he will be only joy. Yes and shared concern about the kid will only strengthen your relationship.
Try to find a little time to devote to his care. Of course, initially it will be difficult to allocate time, even on basic things, such as shampoo, but you soon adapt himself to combine everything.Let's start with the simplest - with clothes
Many of my friends, sitting with the kids, wear old homes, well-worn T-shirts, pants incomprehensible size. They explain it this way - most importantly, it was convenient. But, imagine that every day the husband sees you in your home clothes. And when he was at work says about you in front of him will arise such a slovenly way? It is unlikely that it can be called an attractive and enticing. Therefore, the arrival of a loved to work wear something elegant, but at the same time, comfortable and convenient, it helps to keep the relationship and the interest of her husband after giving birth to you, as a woman. No need to dress up in evening dress, it is totally useless. Good fit easy sarafan or platishko, which can be put to the elk or bridge. Remarkably will look and trousers with a nice topics. The main thing is you yourself feel in this dress comfortably and elegantly. After the work is your favorite male will rush home, where he was waiting for a beautiful, smiling wife and little treasures.
If you are going for a walk with the baby, do not wear all the time old comfortable jeans and sneakers. Of course, it is very convenient, but when you go for a walk, for example, in the park with her husband and can be dressed up. At such joint walk I love to wear pretty dresses or pants, heels or stylish shoes. In this form, and I feel more confident and pleased my husband look at me.
No less important, and Sleepwear. Night to get up several times to feed the baby. So I was uncomfortable to sleep in my favorite lacy penyuarchikah. Instead of them I bought a few cute separate maechek and shorts. They look very attractive and tempting, but at the same time very convenient for feeding.Well-groomed hair
Sitting with your child, it is inconvenient to wear long hair, so the baby constantly for them clings, yanks and pulls them. But always go with the collected hair in a bun - also not an option. A woman should look good in any situation. Make sure that hair is always clean. Even with the constant presence of the house to go with the messy hair is unacceptable.



Learn to do simple hair styles, long hair can plait into beautiful braids. This elegant and unusual, and the hair does not tangle. Recently I found on the Internet video tutorials on creating various hairstyles and braiding braids at home. From the first time I got not very nice, but spending a little time, I learned how to make unusual hairstyles quickly and even without a mirror. Now I always pet your family what a new hairstyle. Her husband wonders how I manage, sitting with a child, invent new images.
A few months after childbirth, I appreciated the fact that now, being at home with synuley can be much more time to myself. After all, before I spent all day at work and after work are rarely able to be alone, to make a home hair mask or do face and nails. Now I can calmly do it all, or when the baby sleeps, or when he plays in an arena or in the crib.How to put himself in shape after childbirth
After returning from the hospital, I was sure that once I can get into your favorite skinny jeans and trousers, which I missed during pregnancy. What was my disappointment when they are not buttoned me! I even managed to quietly cry because of this! In fact, nothing surprising in this. After birth, the abdominal muscles have not yet been cut, and hip bones had not yet converged back. After the abdomen during pregnancy grew gradually all 9 months. Of course, the body needs time to the internal muscles contracting back. I went back to their normal weight in about 3 months. But all this time is different.
If you exercise, the recovery will be quicker. But with exercise you should be very cautious. First, the organism has experienced severe stress during childbirth, may still persist discomfort and ache a little place seams and gaps. Secondly, in the first months of lactation is still installed, so do not put too much load, it can reduce the inflow of milk. Make careful, do light exercise, if feel that is hard for you - immediately stop work. Deal better after you fed the child. Use special sports bras that tightly pressed against his chest and would not allow her to stretch out.
Some exercises can be done within a few days after birth. In general, these exercises aimed at strengthening the domestic intimate muscles that have been overstretched during delivery. Well-trained abdominal muscles alternately retracting and relaxing the abdominal wall. This is an exercise I like the fact that it can be done while walking with a child, and household chores. More intensive activities, such as press and hips swaying doctors recommend doing 6-8 weeks for natural childbirth, and for caesarean section - 2,5 months.Make time for each other



Whatever you're tired during the day, worrying about the kid, try to find time to spend with her husband only two. We are fortunate that we have both grandmothers may from time to time to sit with the child. And we at this time we can go to his friends, the cinema or a restaurant or just walk together. Sometimes we importation son to his grandmother, and themselves arrange a romantic dinner, buy, or cook something delicious, light candles and enjoy a quiet evening. Now we have become particularly appreciate those moments when we can just stay together. It is very strengthening relationships.
We are from the early days became accustomed synulyu sleep in his crib. Even if I get up to 5 times a night to feed the kid, I always try to shift it back in the crib. I believe that my husband should have their own space where we can just stay together. Although, it decides for itself each one individually.
Do not forget about communicating with friends. This is also very important both for you and for your relationship with your beloved. I meet with friends energized, help relax and feel, though not for long, free and carefree. After these meetings, I go back home with renewed energy and positive emotions. Meetings with friends are also needed and your husband, he also wants to relax, to chat about any nonsense, watch with close friends football or hockey. Do not let it. Decide what day can go anywhere you are, and how he is.
Relationship with her husband after the birth of a child moving to another level. At this point is extremely important to correctly allocate their time, in addition to caring about the kid, he had enough to care for themselves and to communicate with loved ones. In the first months it will seem incredibly complicated, but then all of a habit and will not pose any difficulties. A few minutes a day on yourself, will you look good and stay for my husband the most charming and attractive.

Indeed, in ancient times, people noticed that the environment in which they live can have positive and negative effects on life. With the help of ancient science of Feng Shui you can become a full-fledged mistress of the house, but for this we have to go 6 steps to achieve harmony in the house.Harmony of Feng Shui - to live in the house pets
For positive energy flows in the house Specialists feng shui, you can create a pet. The Chinese prefer the turtle or a frog. They make for a small pond turtles, there lay a little stone, and when a bug wants, she can get out of the water. But we can be for the turtles to purchase an aquarium. Do not forget to change the water at least three times a week. Feed the turtle best small fry. It is believed that tortoises are making the house calm and stability. But if the turtles you do not like, you can make a frog. Effect was the same. It is believed that the frog guards the house and its occupants from all sorts of trouble. Well, those who like warm-blooded animals, feng shui offers to have a tiger, but because tigers in our country start was made, it can be replaced by an ordinary cat. Cat symbolizes the feminine and protects women's well-being. It must be noted that in ancient times in Egypt, the cat was considered the goddess of the hearth and his defender. What about dogs Chinese said nothing, but I think they also did not harm the harmony in your home.Harmony of Feng Shui - Look at your front door and hallway
A well-known proverb: Theatre begins with a hanger, and the apartment - with the door. China is considered a bad omen if the door is located right by the stairs or on top. But the stairs, of course, do not move, but something that can be corrected. Very well to hang on door mirror, it will reflect all the negative energy that goes up the stairs. The same can be done if your apartment and your neighbor's apartment located opposite each other. If you want to come to your house wealth, then hang it on the handle of the door bells or Chinese coins tied with red ribbon. The entrance to the house must be bright. If your hallway is very dark, then use it to design a light-colored wallpaper, hang on the walls of vivid pictures in rectangular or oval frames, but most importantly - make a light brighter.
In addition, the hall has to be clean always, and not only when to come visit. If the hallway is not clean, do not be surprised if you will constantly pursue apathy, fatigue and depression. In Feng Shui it is recommended to put under the front mat three gold coins. But if not gold, do not despair, there is not so much important material of the coins, as their color.
Always close the doors of bedrooms, baths and toilets that were included in the corridor of people do not look for these run across the room, otherwise it could lead to fragmentation of the family.Harmony of Feng Shui - go to the bathroom and toilet
An important requirement for the bathroom, so it was dominated by order and cleanliness. Bathroom furnishings should be quite simple, not pretentious. If your bathroom is in the southern corner, the outside of the door hang a mirror of small dimensions. To select a tile walls blue or blue hues. If you do not like these colors, then hang on the wall at least the image of waves or fish.
If you're unlucky and your bathroom is with bath, then correct the situation by using screens or partitions. And I would like to remind once again - always keep the toilet lid closed. It will be useful, if you put any plant in a closet.
Rags, mops, etc. always keep in a place where they will not see otherwise everyone who lives in the house can not see success. Especially watch out for these in the kitchen. Ignoring this rule will lead to the fact that you will always needs something.Harmony of Feng Shui - go to the dining room or kitchen
Not seldom the role played by the dining room and living room is one room, so it is worth it to pay special attention. And since the beginning of a dining area separate from the recreation area. This can be done in lattice with climbing plants, bookcases, mirrors, paintings or photographs. No matter what piece of furniture will play the role of the separator, the main thing that you had two separate zones.
Proved that the person during the meal, feel better about themselves in a room with high ceilings. And in "hruschevke" for example, the ceilings are very low, and the hole to the neighbors do not do it, so you need to increase the height of ceilings on the visual level. For this fit wall lights directed towards the ceiling. But very bright light does not give that comfort and convenience that you want, so it is recommended to use switches to control light.
Mirrors - a favorite attribute in feng shui, as are appropriate and in the dining room. They not only create a feeling of more space, but the number of dishes and make twice as much, which would make every lunch and dinner are more impressive.
Not recommended to put a dining table to the wall, which is adjacent to the toilet. This is not only beneficial effect on appetite, but also harm the welfare and health of your family. If you have a dining table standing between two doors, it is not too good. Then from your home will leave the welfare and wealth. You can remedy the situation by hanging by the door bell or windchime.
Color tablecloths are selected based on to what area is your dining table. Green is best applied in the eastern zone, the blue in the northern part. Stand under a hot must be combined with the form table. If you have a round table, then the base must be round, square table - stand square.
During lunch, pour into transparent glasses clean water, then they will be associated with crystals and stimulate energy flow of Qi. And it is not necessary that the glasses were made of crystal.Harmony of Feng Shui - go into the bedroom
You want your home was always the financial well-being, do the following: Fill a vase with crystal, semi-precious stones, or just jewelry, and zapryachte this vase in the closet or dresser, only to see that a cabinet or chest of drawers is not standing in front of the entrance door to the bedroom. This vase can not show anyone.Harmony
of Feng Shui-talk a bit about the corridor
If you have a long and narrow corridor, it is recommended to hang on the walls of mirrors, which create a wavy effect. You will also assist in the creation of comfort in the corridor wall hangings, lamps and pots of climbing flowers.
All of these simple tips and tricks to help you achieve harmony of feng shui can help make your home unique and special, where you and your whole family after a hard day to relax and feel the comfort, convenience and peace of mind.

What kind of gazebo to choose a country house and cottages

You recently finished building a country house or dacha, now full of happiness you are missing out on site or in the garden gazebo. You can make yourself gazebo, but you can buy ready-made. There are several varieties.

You can take the easiest tent and set it in good weather, it is inexpensive, can withstand the onslaught of sun and rain. Beware though, that in bad weather, such design can easily carry the wind, and heat it strongly. But it is very easily assembled and disassembled and can be used not only in the country, but also at the exit of the nature, because it is more convenient to sit in the shade of an awning, not outdoors. The more they can save products from dust and insects, and you too.
Of course, good wooden arbor with a finished floor, with nice benches on which you can put pillows and they immediately become comfortable sofas. But those arbors there is one drawback - the price, they are expensive. And the winter air, and weather conditions do not go to the benefit of these facilities, as they love to regale bunny and various bugs. Summer heat can also affect adversely such an arbor, a tree has a singularity of crack in high temperatures. So when buying a wooden structure very carefully inspect the material from which it is made.
There is another option - a metal gazebo. She is very beautiful delicate, with proper processing of the material can withstand all weather changes. On the benches can lay soft mattresses and pillows. Price, of course, this structure just below the wood, but this is still not a cheap, besides, it must be installed on any basis. Saves it from rain and sun, but the metal is heated shamelessly. Although you can order a gazebo with an ordinary roof tiles.
You can take the most ordinary arbor with benches and a table with a polycarbonate roof or awning, very compact, in the style of "cheap and cheerful". She stands in the range of 500-800 dollars. After all, no matter what the price at the gazebo, it is important to place them across your friends or not, although a large and friendly company over a place.

Psychophysiological features driver

Psychophysical capacity of each of us laid on the creation and change are difficult, some impossible. But they need to know, at least to understand the impact they can have on your progress in the development of driving skills.

You have passed a medical examination and have a medical certificate authorizing them to certain categories of vehicles. This means that you do not have any significant deviations that do not allow to drive a car. But this does not imply the absence of some of the deficiencies that may affect your safety. They have each, and they must be good to know.
The research, conducted in the U.S. showed that when drivers repeatedly committed the incident, informed about their psycho-physiological defects, accidents, and they decreased by 2 / 3. Knowing your weaknesses, you will be able to compensate them for the expense of a certain style of driving and greater caution in certain situations.
What are the physiological defects that affect the safety of driving, the most common?
90% of all the information the driver receives through sight. Therefore, know the features of his vision is very important. According to the American Optical Association for at least 35% of drivers have dangerous defects of vision and not know it. Do you know them you know?
What is the sharpness of your vision? If you do not have 100 percent of sight, you need to drive only in glasses, lets you clearly see the situation. Do not be lazy at least once a year to check visual acuity, and, if necessary, change the score.
How well do you see at night? There are people who see a great day and at night in low light is much worse. Check your ability to see in the dark, you can use the following test. Hold it must be daytime in well-lit room.
If at a distance of 5 meters you will be able to accurately describe only the first row of figures depicted on the stand at the ophthalmologist, as a community is open, it is best to restrict night travel, or consult an eye specialist for further advice. If you're good to see the bottom row, then everything is in order.
Your adaptive abilities. To restore the ability to see the situation in the blinding headlights of oncoming car takes an average of 7.8 seconds. How long it takes you, you can see by the test described above, but done it slightly differently. Before we look at the figures, look closely at the source of very bright light, which must be located directly in front of your eyes. After this move look at the figures and start the stopwatch. If not less than 10 seconds. you'll see the figures as well as to the glare, then everything is fine. If this time is longer, you'd better avoid night driving, especially on poorly lit areas where possible blinding of oncoming traffic. Driving a car at night, try as little as possible to look at brightly lit objects.



Peripheral vision. Ability to observe the situation in front and at the same time to monitor what is happening at the side of you is very important. Especially when driving in a city where danger often comes from the side. This ability is determined by the space on the right and left of you, which you can see, keeping your head straight and looking straight ahead. Check it out yourself by doing the following. Stand up, keeping your head straight and looking at any object located in ten meters directly in front of you. Spread the arms to the side so that they form a straight line. Begin to reduce, not dropping down. As soon as you can see their peripheral vision, "Freeze" and define the angle between their position which they occupy, and the source. If he is over 20 degrees, you have poor peripheral vision.
Some people have so-called Tunnel Vision. They can be seen within an angle of 20 degrees. This is extremely dangerous when driving, as the situation on the sides of the vehicle remains out of sight. Compensate for the shortcomings of peripheral vision can be achieved by improving care and caution when driving through areas where perhaps the sudden appearance of danger from the side. It exits from the yard, crossing roads, where pedestrians cross. If you have poor peripheral vision, watch for places that may cause danger from the side by turning your head, not "the edge of the eye.
When driving in the city you have to simultaneously monitor for multiple objects, lights, the members of the movement, signs, etc. How well you get depends on the capacity for rapid distribution and switching of attention. Check it out, you can use a table Schulte-Platonov. Compensate for the attention can be brought to perfection the skills orientation in traffic and showing extreme caution (not to drive at high speed) in a complex and unusual driving conditions.
Rumor need the driver to hear the threat, which is difficult to see, for example, warning about the danger beep sound of the engine and tires, the overtaking car, an ambulance siren, the creaking of brakes ... A person with normal hearing can hear the words spoken in a normal voice at a distance of 6 m. If you have impaired hearing, try to compensate by sight. Also, do not turn the radio loud, keep your window is always ajar.
Motor response time important, but not the most important, as many believe, the quality of the driver. Often people with excellent response in the event fall more often than others. Why? Due to the fact that at first do, then think. Therefore, if you do not have very good reaction time, do not worry: nothing wrong with that. You can successfully compensate for the reaction time due to the ability to predict risk in advance and clearly spent driving skills in critical situations.
The test for determining the reaction time. Take a strip of cardboard 12 cm long, 3 cm wide and have someone hold it so that the lower end is between the thumb and forefinger of your right hand. Whoever holds the strip, should surprise you let it go, and you - caught between his fingers. If you get - see ads selling cars and pick smart machine. If you do not have time, then you should not delude ourselves about their reaction.



The results of research into the causes accidents associated with psycho-physiological characteristics showed that the importance of some of them in terms of impact on the reliability of the driver is clearly overrated. While other more important qualities of most drivers do not even know. For example, the inability to distinguish colors, or in other words, color-blindness. This quality of the bidder to manage any type of ground transportation typically have fairly strict requirements. However, the study of accidents with drivers, color blind, there was no connection between the causes of accidents and violations distinguish colors. This, of course, does not mean that the colorblind can not get into accidents because no ability to distinguish traffic lights, but, apparently, the probability of such events is low. Explains this seemingly strange fact that approaching an intersection, you can track the movement of other vehicles and thus determine the mode of operation of traffic lights. Drivers who constantly use this method, achieve very high accuracy rating.
Feature of the view that most drivers do not know and therefore can not compensate for its dangerous effect when driving - the predominant use of the right or left eye. Begs the assumption that the dominant is the one eye that sees better. However, it is not. In some cases the weak eye, too, can be dominant. At first glance, it seems that this feature of view should not have a significant impact on the safety of driving. But this view is mistaken. The value of this particular view is even, and because most people are not aware of the existence of their dominant eye. With the dominance of one eye sees the situation the driver well, located by a dominant eye, and much worse than what happens on the other side. So, for example, a man who has dominated the left eye can not see a vehicle driving up to the right. To determine the existence of a dominant eye, you can use a very simple test. Both arms pull in front of the thumb and forefinger hold the ring, and looking through it, find and commit some object (like a matchbox), located at some distance from you, so that he could be seen strictly in the center of the ring.
After that close the first one and then the second eye, and notes for any closed eye object is shifted toward the center of the ring. Opposite him eye is dominant. To compensate for this particular view while driving with extreme care must examine the situation from the side opposite the dominant eye, while not limited to a simple shift of the eyes, and turn your head, especially at roundabouts.
Human eye is arranged so that does not allow him to perceive at a glance the whole entire situation, in which it is located. Therefore, he is forced to consider it in parts. However, given the features and capabilities of its visual apparatus, apply a sequence of inspection, which will allow him to get the most important information for the least amount of time.
What are the characteristics of view are from this point of view, the greatest value?
It is known that the area of ​​maximum visual acuity is limited. Most clearly a person sees objects that are within the cone angle of 30. Enough objects are visible and within the larger cone angle of about 10-200. With the help of peripheral vision, the scope for which is equal to 160-180 degrees, the objects can only be detected but not identified. To identify the object at the side, to understand the nature of its movement, need a translation sight, during which the person is almost not perceive their environment. This is explained by the fact that visual perception is possible only when the fixation. It is well known, for example, that looking from the extreme left scope for the extreme right and the fixation on the present facility takes time from 1 to 1.5 seconds. At night or in poor light conditions this time is increased.



As a particular view, which most drivers do not know can cause involuntary blinking of the eyes. What is happening at the same time, and the rapid movement of the head and eyes. Usually a person does not notice the flashing, as it happens involuntarily. In this part of the space may remain unseen. For example, consider the situation that arises when making a turn.
Driver's gonna turn left, should quickly move your eyes from the oncoming traffic (when he finds sufficient for the passage of the gap in the flow) to the region on the left in the direction of its movement when changing direction. It is necessary to quickly browse a large portion of the situation, during which his eyes locked involuntary blinking eyelids.
Plenty of information and tips on safe driving can be a blog about cars. Good car blog offers not only news but also articles and educational materials.
A clear perception is the basis of correct evaluation and prediction of possible developments. Psycho-physiological basis for the assessment of the situation are the qualities that enable a person to detect changes in spatial and temporal parameters. These include the ability to estimate speed, distance, direction, change in distance to objects. Usually there are two types of motion: radial, ie delete, or closer to the observer and tangential - perpendicular to the line of sight.
Ability possessed by most people, allow them to accurately assess the speed and distance of objects moving in the tangential direction. Significantly worse than the ability to estimate distances and speeds of up to objects moving in a radial direction, such as the leading cars.



Experimental data show that the highest accuracy is typical for estimates of direction. It can be assumed that the estimate of spatial-temporal parameters of a road traffic situation, the driver makes a complex, noting the two main parameters (in possession of time and space on the road) and comparing them with time and space required to safely perform maneuvers undertaken.
We reviewed the most important physiological qualities of the person defining success driving. Try to identify which physiological features and drawbacks are for you. Keep this in mind while driving, trying to compensate for their more careful driving and working out a certain style of driving in adverse situations for you.

Composition of working space cuisine

Before you begin configuring your workspace kitchen, you should understand that the workspace consists of three points: the sink, stove and refrigerator. And even in a small kitchen workspace can be made ​​functional.

To make a pastime in the kitchen, if not enjoyable, then at least tolerable and not burdensome, it is better to make the distance between these elements is minimal.
The main working area of ​​any housewife is between the sink and stove, the optimal distance between them should be 60-90 cm, the minimum for that distance - 40 cm
Good advice: do not locate the plate against a wall - it will get splashed on the upcoming meal. Between the slab and the wall should be at least 15 cm cabinet.


Cooker and refrigerator should also not be next - a refrigerator can be damaged by heat.
Dishwashers and washing machines are best placed near the sink.
Recommended minimum distance from hob to hood should be 70 cm for electric cooker and 75 cm for a gas stove.
If you plan to frequently use the oven, then do not try to place it near the corner tables - in this case the oven would be awkward to open.
Position the wall cabinets and countertops at 50 sm.Takoe distance promotes good review and will create you the best convenience when cooking.
Combine the countertop work surface and dining table. Made from the same material, they will look stylish and modern.
When choosing countertops keep in mind that countertops with plastic or ceramic coating can withstand heat to 200 degrees. MDF is heavy stuff, but harmless and humidity resistant. Not recommended for use for the manufacture of particle boards countertops, as they used glue, which may contain harmful phenol formaldehyde resin. Note that the indicator "of phenols and formaldehyde emissions" should be 0.01 per cubic meter.


Be sure to make the backlight work surface: comfortable lighting makes the job easy and safe.
Like anything complex, but if you consider when planning the kitchen, these tips, then later to spend a minimum of effort on cooking.How to correctly install wash
First of all, mark the place of installation washing. To do this, place the sink upside down on the table top and depict it. Please note that the pattern sink can be included.
Now you can start carving holes for cleaning. Apply contour bowl sink. Move the line cut at 1.5 cm inside, drill a hole and sawing fret over the line.
Before installing the circuit cleaning seal the gasket, handle with silicone and paste the sink in the resulting hole. After that, fix the sink with the help of fasteners.Secrets of a small kitchen
In order to visually widen the walls of your kitchen, choose light-colored furniture. Do not get carried away with contrasting colors - in a confined space, they very quickly begin to pall.
A real boon for a small kitchen can be a built-in appliances. Of course, it's a bit expensive, but takes up little space and saves space in the kitchen.
As a basis for hanging accessories, use the rails. They are very comfortable, they can be beautiful and practical to place holders for knives and hooks for utensils, which also saves space.


In order to visually enlarge the space of your kitchen, use instead of traditional heavy curtains blinds. For example, Roman shades (pictured). These blinds will give your kitchen a modern look, protection from the sun and prying eyes.
Now imagine that you have completed repairs, ordered a beautiful blinds or curtains, and then discover that all kind of spoil the painted radiators. And you probably also have increased them to the winter was warmer ...
What should I do? Hide the battery from the prying eyes will help you a decorative screen. I think that a decorative screen for the batteries - an indispensable element of the interior.
Screens for the batteries have not only decorative but also protective, because they have no sharp corners, which is especially important if you have kids. Hiding unsightly radiators, radiator screens prevent the ingress of dust on the radiator itself.
And most importantly - to install a decorative screen for simple battery, you may well cope with it themselves.
