How Effective Is Pep Meds
Winter ... COSTA!
Panic
◦
by gas bill! While waiting for the event is consumed and its aftermath for the household economy are less severe than last year (dubito. ..), I found some practical tips to save a little. The link is:
'Here are some practical tips to reduce heating costs:
◦ Bleed air from radiators to keep them at maximum efficiency.
◦ Do not ventilate the rooms for too long. E 'preferable to circulate the air by opening the windows completely during the hottest hours.
◦ Lower the blinds at night to keep the house warm. The glass causes a great dispersion of the internal heat by cooling the room.
◦ Install double glazed windows in the windows and doors to prevent heat loss from the cold outside and warm inside. Adjust
◦ the temperature to 19 °. To limit consumption of the boiler make sure that the internal temperature of the house fluctuates around 19 °.
◦ Avoid covering radiators with furniture or drapes. The radiator under the window to help heat the cold walls are structurally but they tend to work harder. ◦
Always consider that the use of electrical heaters will cost you in electricity. ◦
At night, turn off the boiler or set the timer to do it again two hours before when we must raise. In the case of cold areas would be adequate to adjust the indoor temperature at night was only 16 degrees. Keep
◦ closed the door of the rooms and premises are not used as storage rooms or the guest room to avoid circulating hot and cold air in these rooms making the boiler work less.
◦ When the heat in the rooms is excessive or unnecessary heating down to a minimum level of radiators. ◦
Insulated walls to prevent heat loss to the outside by the boiler work less.
◦ The use of radiant floor heat can radiate from the floor or walls and eliminating the traditional radiator.
◦ Developing a unit of automatic temperature control can be avoided large inefficiencies in heating and save you a lot of money.
◦ If you have a central heating system, ask your system administrator heat metering to split the fare based on the actual use of the communal heating. ◦ Do
install thermostatic valves on radiators.
◦ Isolate the drawer of the shutters over the windows and in general every draft of the house.
SAVINGS
the savings in operating costs is very important given the continuing increases in fuel costs for heating and electricity for air conditioning.
These systems do not operate heating or cooling the air but keep the structure warm in winter and cool in summer. In this way, working thermal inertia of structures is needed less energy to achieve the same results than traditional systems air.
The savings are quantified from a minimum of 25% for small rooms up to 50-60% for large environments with large volumes.
The Return of the higher investment costs is expected on average within two or three anni.Ricordando then the system saves us for the rest of the life of the house.
ADVANTAGES ◦ remarkable improvement on the past of the materials, which provide over the years, the same efficiency without losing their characteristics.
◦ The underfloor heating the floor is not noisy, can not continue to operate day and night without giving the impression that there really is a heating system except of course for the warmth and comfort it brings.
◦ Since the radiator does not trade directly with the environment in question, all those problems are to be reduced by the absence of whiskers on the walls or dust devils, there is a considerable reduction Air secca.Utilizzando less amount of air to cool our environment we can reduce the amount of dust and allergens in motion. (50% of the population suffers from allergies to pollens and mites: improving the quality of air and the quality of the environment in which we live).
◦ Absolute freedom in furniture, no longer bound by radiators or fan coils.
◦ installed and put into operation, a floor heating system is maintenance free.
the radiant panel system can also be used in summer to cool environments.
◦ No constraints to choose the type of floor '

bedroom childproof!
The nursery ... Sounds easy! The link is
'The bedroom is the most important room for child, because you spend most of the playing time of the day and night sleeping. It is therefore very important that the baby can move in a room designed and engineered for him, taking into account its needs and dangers which may be incurred.
LOCATION
Inside the house the baby's room should be positioned near the bedroom of their parents, so that the child can easily be checked and heard during sleep, and living area, so that adults can control the little while you play.
WINDOWS AND BALCONIES
The windows should not be opened by the child, which could appear with great danger, and even be accessed through tops (furniture, chairs, heaters), it is always important to apply a special safety latch, is inaccessible to the child.
If they are placed at a low level must be installed at the level of safety railings outside or inside a reinforced glass.
openings are preferred to "flap", as are the safest to avoid falls and required tempered glass (do not release fragments in case of breakage).
If the room has a balcony, railings and parapets shall have:
- vertical bars placed at a distance of less than 10 cm (to avoid the baby is able to sneak one to another);
- horizontal elements to height over 75 cm;
- taller than a meter (to avoid the small climb);
- bars without transverse or moldings that may be inclined to invite the children to use the rails as ladders leaning dangerously outside.
-Although the railing meets the security parameters you should be careful not to leave items on the balcony that could help the small to climb, such as flower boxes or chairs.
-If the railing does not meet the safety standards described above, until the child is grown, you can protect the railings with the networks.
FURNITURE childproof
are preferred mobile:
- no sharp edges;
- without handles and protruding shelves (or the child could use them to climb);
- made from nontoxic materials and fire;
- smooth and solid.
The bed must have sides of at least 75 cm, with bars spaced a maximum of 8 cm so that the little stick the head, legs or arms, it is important that there are no cracks in whom they can remain trapped in the fingers of the child.
If you have radiators you can secure to prevent bruising from impact by applying the colored plastic rings that can be easily found at specialty stores for baby products.
FLOORING
to the floor of the room are preferred elastic materials such as wood or rubber, as well as mitigate the falls, have the advantage of being warmer if the child were walking barefoot.
For the same reason are not recommended smooth, and cold as marble.
carpet, while being soft and warm, it should be avoided as they trap dust and thus favors the presence of mites that can cause allergies. '

Nuclear energy: I would like to understand more ... For a fantastic stay
http://www.fareambiente.it/
http://www.qualenergia.it/
http://www.ecologiae.com/
the next
Surely you noticed that spot that is ultimately broadcast frequently on TV and that invites the viewer to reflect on nuclear energy. I confess I have an opinion on my mood dictated by the ecologist, but as these are my notes 'virtual', I need to learn more.
I found this site that I 'stole' this brief list of the advantages and disadvantages of nuclear power whose link is http://www.ecoage.it/energia-nucleare-vantaggi-e-svantaggi.htm
BENEFITS
-A nuclear power plant does not emit CO2
-Nuclear power plants do not produce carbon dioxide and oxides of nitrogen and sulfur, the main causes of ozone depletion and the greenhouse effect.
-advantage in the balance of payments
The production of energy from nuclear power reduces the import of petroleum and petroleum-dependent economies. The coverage of the domestic energy needs through nuclear power reduces the possibility of external shocks on the economy and allows governments to reducing the burden of cost on the balance of payments with foreign countries. All this translates into greater stability of the national economy ..
-Greater political stability
The main oil reserves are concentrated in a few countries with high political instability (Middle East) that risk of transmission even in countries heavily dependent on imported oil. The use of nuclear energy reduces dependence on Middle Eastern oil by the West.
DISADVANTAGES
-Consequences of an accident
History has already shown the serious consequences of accidents at nuclear power plants. The radiation to which the population is exposed causing an increased risk of death from leukemia and cancer. By Chernobyl nuclear power plant safety has become one of the main critics of nuclear energy for civilian use. In recent years, technological progress has greatly improved the safety of nuclear nuclear reactors equipped with the latest technology.
-Nuclear waste
Unfortunately, the nuclear waste is another critical aspect of nuclear power. Can not be destroyed and the only solution for now, seems to be storage for thousands of years in geological or engineering. The search for a safe-deposit is one of the main objectives of the EU and the U.S.. It takes years of studies and major investment in detection of storage solutions for hundreds of thousands of years.
Location-nuclear protests and local
The process of locating a nuclear plant or waste repository is very difficult. No local community agrees to sacrifice his own territory to host the nuclear waste. Sardinia, Puglia, Basilicata is the recent Italian cases of strong anti-nuclear protests (2003). That same year, a local Chinese community successfully opposed the government decision to build a geological disposal of waste by implementing a bitter and prolonged protest. In both cases, they won the local population.
-Terrorism
We live in an age when few people can do great damage to humanity. The memory of the tragedy of 11 September 2001 to the skyscrapers of the World Trade Center was a severe shock for the whole of Western society. The risk that nuclear power plants are used as targets for acts of terrorism or dirty bombs is very realistic. E 'lawful and rational concern. New nuclear plants will have to include this aspect right from the planning stage.
-The transport of nuclear material
The transport of radioactive and nuclear material is one of the most critical aspects of "security" issue. During transport, as well as the opposition of the people who will go with radioactive cargo ships or trains near their homes, there is a risk of accidents and terrorist attacks. In France, the special trains carrying nuclear waste are shipped by "wagons Armed and mounted policemen. The route of the train is constantly changing knowledge of people living near the railways. For these reasons, waste repositories should reside near nuclear plants thus avoiding the need for transport of slag. The scientific and technological research has not yet found a way to destroy the waste within the same nuclear power plants. We are still waiting for answers to that effect.
For the moment I have changed my mind ....

Should Hymen Bleeding Be Constant
I propose a 'stolen' from the site http://www.guidaconsumatore.com/arredamento/ soggiorno.html : These are guidelines for furnishing the living room. There are suggestions that may seem obvious but very often taken from the 'syndrome of the interior' do not take into account.
'residence and place of the house more experienced, that is visited by guests and home to the largest number of activities. Decorating the living room so warm and welcoming, comfortable and functional living well is crucial to the house. In this article, the advice to equip the various functional areas of living, with style and elegance, from the couch to end solutions for television.
is not easy to succeed in the difficult business of decorating a room with wisdom and reason, but according to some dial-base possiamolo do it.
First thing to keep in mind the structure of space and functionality.
There is in fact who intends to stay for the dining area, TV area, the people who relax area and postprandial nap ... and who even the anticucina. We can not go forward or take their first steps in the world of shopping without having to head clear idea of \u200b\u200bwhat we want to achieve and what we want to meet.
This obviously depends on the size of the dwelling, number of rooms and size of the area you want to decorate, but in theory we should know if you want a simple oasis where you can rest your weary limbs after a day of work or something more.
Not to mention that in most cases all the features I just described living in one room, often because the space to handle is little or reduced to a minimum.
In this case there are many proposals offered by the biggest names in international design: the choice of simple furniture and discreet hiding gigantic space to store, sort and arrange his own world is very wide and varied. Not to mention the modular solutions that everyone can find the expansion of each problem space, such as portfolios.
The key, as with any other product or service offered, is to find the right balance between taste and needs, including personal preference and practical needs.
enjoy the convenience and does not absolutely mean sacrificing style and elegance synonymous, indeed. In a century like ours, where design and art took precedence over everything and where even a pepper can become a form abstract, the chances of finding the object that is not denied extraordinarily eccentric features of his being are endless.
So, if a stay must be made by the normal library, the chairs that embrace the table or a TV cabinet, this does not mean they can not choose the beautiful piece, "what you see when you say" wow ", the 'owners pride and envy of guests and neighbors.
We can indulge in the purchase of the items, never forget that the living room is fundamental and can not be separated from its basic pieces.
If this happens, it would become like any other of the house.
Anonymous, cluttered with things and perfectly useless.
Let us, therefore, that perfect stay, friendly and above all efficient.
How? Thus, in the balance. Of comfort and design, precision and whim. Between personality, style and effectiveness.
shapes and materials Staying sober is to be respectable, seemingly basic, minimalist essence. Do not give in immediately to the flashes of imagination and color, but starting from the most simple and discreet. Very light as a veil and absolutely chic.In this sense are the materials to hold the knife by the handle, especially those used in the production of furniture.
recently in the spotlight are the materials clear, bright, perhaps even environmentally friendly, with respect for nature and the environment. And why not, hi-tech, not to give up the pretensions of the times we live in and the generations that paw.
Matted are materials that are very well in any environment and its light and brightness of these elements make the atmosphere more luminous and ethereal, cheerful, almost mystical.
If you love a particular type of wood, and could only rely on only that, but do not be afraid to dive into the world of new materials.
It 's true, are many and often talk about it so we do not realize their actual functionality, but have no fear and daring as well.
The living space is so relaxing and one of the rooms of the home-base, but it is also the favorite place of dreams and fantasy, imagination and thoughtfulness. And approaches with the dear old grandmother to one of the mobile generation will not sin.
whims, in terms of furnishings, shall be granted provided that expertly weighted.
not about academic rules, but also the rules of common sense and good taste but, as you'll see, every now and then soar to unusual solutions and curious juxtapositions.
In short, even indulged a desire to purchase that particular Library shaped wave of the sea wall directly on the wall, but at least for mobile TV to choose something more conventional and basic: too much, sometimes crippled and you are likely to find themselves in more kitsch rooms. Weird yes, but in moderation.
Fix a point ...
Starting from a carrier, we adjusted to everything else.
would be inconceivable not to start with an idea in mind and get lost in the infinite variety of proposals and elements available to the consumer-purchaser.
E 'so well understand the our basic needs (or just our core business around which inevitably would turn our lives and, therefore, our house) and take steps accordingly. Let's see some.
Heart book
We love books more than anything else? So now we focus on a beautiful library, a wall or suspended: I had mentioned before, there are some who take the shape you want us, on our part and adapting along the lines and forms the most absurd and bizarre.
But let's not forget the traditional wooden bookcases that have meant a lot to bibliophiles and artists of all time and will make ever their shape and even less obvious ed'effetto of their nieces and revolutionary-change, fulfill their duty better than any other factor: how to hold, catalog, protect, and courting their books and volumes, nobody does.
Especially for that retro feel and traditional wood exudes that any library: every book would be accepted among those shelves, among the smells of living and why not, between the dust that makes women despair, but in which each book willingly drown .
Sofas & co
What would be living without a sofa? First thing: that is comfortable. Beware of those who says "the important thing is that catches your eye, so they are all comfortable."
should buy a sofa to sit, relax, maybe even a nap, not to watch it with delight and contemplation! Above all you must consider it as an investment for the future, like a piece of furniture that should last as long as possible.
's why you have to bet on a good sofa, fabric or leather, maybe total black (or even all white, more delicate and risk-stain) or matching upholstery, corner, two or three places: if after a while, 'you sit down does not take shape, I'd say you would have bought plus a bench a sofa.
So for goodness sake, if the sofa to be the highlight of your stay, choose it with care and dedication. And you will see that your back (and others), thank you.
If you need evidence on which to base any sort of object, you wanted to bet on a console, a mobile-container with pull out shelves or on a more practical table multipurpose furnishings that seem to come to our aid whenever we need them, where to place a corner of this or that ... well, real-life-saving basis.
glass, wood, glass or some other new material, even in the case of tables, designers have given vent to their creativity by offering unique solutions for all needs.
Think of the genius of the design of Philippe Starck, who designed for Kartell Attila, the friendly bearded gnomes that seems to be hiding under the table when in fact he is part of the table / seat. It is the same for a trunk of tree, with green leaves attached, promises to look great in our living room.
And why not use the classic ottoman in a handy little table to rest and all, perhaps, which have a snack in front of the television? Maybe while transmitting our favorite TV series or the derby of our team. Not There really is nothing more relaxing, not to mention that the ottoman does not take up too much space and, thanks to its extraordinary versatility, it can move from room to room.
Once you choose your table, you should think of the chairs. What are ergonomic, comfortable, stable and functional is crucial. It seems obvious advice match them by color and type of materials to the table, but it is a suggestion should not be underestimated: it can often be the center and everything else wrong with the combination (for more important) between the chairs and table. You may choose to
original, dynamic and youthful, and perhaps, following the latest fad of the moment, buying a by model, color and shape. In case this is not enough to stock up on different chairs, but to put everything on one piece, design or vintage, as long as recognizable and identifiable as a whole. This is to avoid the unpleasant "museum effect" that would affect your friends and guests to think you had forgotten that when buying a house glasses and contact lenses, which suffer from a strong color-blindness or a bad taste '.

March
The spring season is approaching, it's cold but still warm temperatures in the first case is already being felt. We can try to lower the temperature of our heating a degree or two, the difference is barely noticeable, but the energy savings and reduced consumption of our bills, in the medium - long term, will be evident with significant improvements. If
mid-season seems to disappear, do not worry too much of temperature change: a good blanket or hot water bottle to warm the sheets (as taught by our grandmothers) will help. Is not it worse or excessive energy consumption is too much waste to let us take a "cold"?
Alternatively, try to just turn on the radiators in the rooms you use most frequently.

For the washing machine you always wash cold or low temperatures (30-40 degrees or so), if possible even in the coldest months. Most washing powders or liquids work well at lower temperatures. (See also green laundry, 5 tips to save energy when you wash clothes)
Habit May be considered seriously, not only in May: Leave the car at home and go to public transport. Even if you are skeptical or disappointed by public transport, sustainable mobility is one of many challenges together and to improve any time soon.

- check the seals of the valves while preventing water loss,
- prefer to shower at the pool Bathroom
- turn off the tap while brushing your teeth
- do not waste too much water while washing dishes ...
July
The summer months are best placed to develop new water-saving devices. An 'alternative is to install a barrel in the garden to catch rainwater.

E 'remembered as air pollution and airport noise and / or produced by the air traffic remains one of the most dangerous to human health, despite many innovations in terms of eco-friendly engines and the first experiments in terms of solar air.
September
They approach the early winter months. Up to one third of the heat produced in the home is lost through the walls. Provide thermal insulation of your house: this investment will bring long term benefits on electricity bills. Here are some techniques to catch the flight to insulate your home not doing an energy audit first do-it-yourself to check any drafts and heat loss
October
The days are shorter, the sunlight is less Hot and weaker and more to keep our homes lit and easily light a bulb too. It 'good to be careful and use only light bulbs with energy saving of 8 euro each year. The € 8 add up to each and every light bulb in use for a period six times higher than the previous.
November
This month is suitable to resume the theme of environmental mobility. Involve more people to try car-pooling to get to work, instead of the private car is a possible solution that helps to reduce both carbon emissions and the cost of gasoline. It is a smart way to socialize and share their journeys with work colleagues, friends, classmates and parents.
December
