Everything about Programming and Thermostats

What is programming?

Programming refers to a complete control program. It is used for the regulation of the temperature according to the needs and housing tenure:

Depending on the time of day (day/night, presence/absence);

Depending on the day of the week (weekdays/weekends).

This program is established in advance. It is easy to handle and allows you to change the temperature during holidays or in case of unplanned absences or presences.

Set temperatures

During the weekend: The temperature should be comfortable in the morning and in the evening when the whole family is preparing dinner. The temperature should be low at night for a better sleep. The temperature should be lowered when the house is not occupied to make savings.

Programming in central heating

The central heating thermostat that regulates the room temperature can also provide programming, in which case it is a programmable room thermostat. Programmable room thermostats come in many models.

A few technical details: The connection to the boiler
image of thermostats.
The programmable room thermostat can be connected to the boiler by wire or radio connection. This solution is ideal for programming an existing facility if a wire connection is not possible. The installation of the thermostat is easy but its location must be chosen carefully.

If the regulation is based on the outdoor temperature, the programming is usually done by a clock built into the regulator. Some thermostatic valves are programmable.

These devices have a specific programming system adapted to the use.

Programming in electric heating

Electric heat emitters are equipped with a powerful so-called "pilot wire" electronic thermostat that allows the programming of several temperature levels. The pilot wire is connected to a centralized scheduler that transmits instructions to issuers.

Every heating system has its own specific programming

It may be interesting to define several areas in the housing (in the bedroom, in living rooms, in the kitchen) and set up a programming system is every one of them. This is possible with multi-zone programmers which can control each housing sector depending on the activities performed in that room or the hours of attendance... The bathroom has individual heating needs (rapid rise in temperature on demand, relatively low occupation time during the day). It is not wise to enslave a general programming system. It is best to fit a specific transmitter which a comfortable temperature quickly when a room is occupied. A well thought out programming system provides interesting tariff options and allows for savings. You can obtain such information from your electricity provider.

Further details

The device called power manager allows the adaptation of the heating mode to the life of residents and the tariffs. It centralizes all programming operations (timing, rate, load shedding management*). It allows permanent heating at the lowest costs.

* Load shedding is used to temporarily cut one or more heat issuers if the electricity demand is too high as compared to the power meter. It cannot assess what amount of power is too large for some time in the year when the entire heating system operates in conjunction with other electrical appliances.

Phone programming

The heating system should meet the distance requirements and fit your lifestyle:

What is phone programming?

This is a heater you can turn off even if you are not in the room and even if you do not know the date or time of your return. A remote phone is used to turn the heater on and off. Thus, you can turn it on before arriving at home so that you are comfortable upon your return.

How does phone programming work?

The phone is installed in your home. You call your phone number and then you dial a code that enables the operating heater. This system is compatible with all types of central heating or electric heating. It can also control other functions in your home (watering, shutters, lighting, etc.). Some models are equipped with a voice synthesizer that provides you with information on the ambient temperature or that guides you through the installation. You can have an answering machine, too.

Energy Saving Tips

Save water 

Take a shower instead of a bath. Three times more water is consumed for a bath than for a shower. This way, you can save 80 EUR a year. Take quick showers and turn off the water when you lather yourself with your favorite shower gel. The water does not have to run continuously. The same goes for brushing your teeth.
Some old houses are equipped with old toilet cisterns which consume nine liters of water per flush. Replace the old cistern with a modern flush with a stop button. This way, you can dose your water consumption.
It often takes some time until warm water pours from the tap. Therefore, always open the hot water tap and use the water as it warms up. Only then let the cold water run. It takes so much longer for the water to heat if you open both faucets. They consume more energy and thus more water.

Ventilate the rooms only at night in the summer. This has several advantages: Your apartment is cool, especially if you leave the blinds down. Your refrigerator and your freezer consume less energy if the temperature in your home is lower.

The right room temperature 

The kitchen temperature should be around 16-18 degrees. The kitchen anyway heats up when you cook and bake. As for the living room, a healthy atmosphere is created if the temperature is between 18 and 20 degrees Celsius. The bedroom can be cool.

Airing instead of permanently tilting the windows

The walls cool if the windows are tilted continuously and they heat mostly on the outside. It is better to open the window several times a day and use the radiator during the rest of the day.

Check the windows and doors to see if the room is drafty. You can do this either with a lighted candle or simply with the back of your hand.

What about your refrigerator? 

If your refrigerator or freezer is a little older, then you should buy a new one. Class A++ refrigerators are the most economical. Old equipment is simply power-hungry.

You should thaw the frozen food in the refrigerator. You should protect yourself against salmonella so pour away the thaw and rinse the chicken with hot water.

Refrigerators should be located away from sources of heat such as the stove, dishwasher or radiator.
The temperature in the refrigerator should be 8 degrees Celsius. The frozen food should be cooled to -18 degrees.

You should consume the frozen foods and defrost the refrigerator if you go away for an extended period of time. Unplug the freezer or refrigerator when you leave and plug it back into the socket when you return from your trip and you have filled it up.

Preheat your over to 180 degrees and then cook the potatoes. You do not usually need to preheat it, even if it says so in the cookbook. Preheating is only necessary when you make dough.

You should use the burner when cooking. The advantage is that burners remain hot for a longer period of time.

You can cook potatoes or noodles faster if you boil the water in a kettle and then pour it into the pot. This way, you can save time and energy.

Save energy at home 

Use energy-saving light bulbs instead of conventional 60-watt bulbs. They use 80% less electricity than conventional bulbs. You only need a 12-watt energy-saving lamp to replace a 60-watt bulb. The energy-saving lamp is more expensive, but holds up to eight times longer. They require 80% less power than conventional light bulbs, so you can save 80% on the energy costs.

The power of the television 

Almost everyone complains about how lousy their television is, but they keep it anyway. It seems that people cannot find the off button on their TV.

What do you watch on television, what really interests you? Does it often happen that you fall asleep watching TV? Does the TV replace your hobbies and leisure time activities? Do you still get to talk to your loved ones or are you that caricature of a man who prefers beer drinking and watching inarticulate grunting monsters on TV rather than spend time with his wife?

Be revolutionary. Log off your cable connection and sell your TV on eBay. Your family and your wallet will thank you. And you will remain an interesting man.

If you are not quite as revolutionary, then be selective in choosing your favorite TV shows and turn the television off when you do not watch it. Remember that it consumes power in stand-by mode, too.

Computer Games Keep Your Brain in Motion

It has been suspected all along that games can develop one’s intelligence. This is true not only in children, but also in adults. Gambling in online casinos and playing casino games supports the mind. The American researchers of Wheaton College in Illinois discovered this in a study on whether online games have any influence over the mind or not.

Image of casino games.20 students solved some difficult problems before and after they played strategy and action games online. The result of this study is clearly a surprise. The students who had played a game before the fulfillment of the tasks solved the problems better and faster. Thus, it was proven that strategy games are a great addition to the mind.

These include blackjack and poker as they also require big strategic thinking for the achievement of success. Online gambling keeps the brain fit and promotes mental performance. The activity of the brain required for gambling keeps the mind busy and improves one’s ability to make logical connections.

Scientists in other places of the world came to the conclusion that computer games and casino games are not dangerous. Actually, they have developed special training software for the brain to improve one’s ability to concentrate and to increase their level of understanding. Therefore, the scientists in Scotland, for instance, came to the conclusion that such programs promote intelligence. They gave 600 students at 32 schools in Scotland game consoles with such a program. The students were invited to play at the beginning of each school day for about 20 minutes or so. The result hit like a bomb. Their grades improved by 50 percent on average.

This learning system based on the games console determined the students to contribute more in class. Many computer games have been blamed for promoting violence and for altering the reality. No one denies the fact that this may be the case. However, it is also not disputed that computer games are good for the brain.
Many of the games available on the market today are very complex, which is a must as otherwise the players would get bored very quickly. The next level must always have a greater level of difficulty. Otherwise, the player has no more expectations from themselves or the game. Try it and you may find that games are not as useless as you thought. The indispensable thinking problem is practiced casually with these games.
Meanwhile, the Viennese media educator Mitgutsch deals with the way computer games can be used in the classroom. For instance, they can be useful for a zoo simulation in the biology class. These are not extra-designed educational pieces of software, but ordinary computer games. Students can write blog posts about their experiences as zoo managers of a virtual zoo.

Games can be used in a lot of situations in the classroom, depending on the topic. Thus, there is a right game for the development of motor skills, logical thinking, concentration or just media literacy.

Game Systems For Roulette

History is full of different game systems that help you win. These systems work only in theory, so you are advised not to pay anything for them. You can read about some of the most popular in this article.

The Martingale game system

 

The Martingale system is the oldest gaming system known and it is very simple. You start with a bet and if you win, you start over and invest the same amount of money again. In case of a loss, you double your bet. Practically, you double the last bet every time you lose and you will win in the end. When you win, you reach zero + your first bet and you start all over again. Is this a totally foolproof system or not? According to some experts, this is a completely lethal system. The whole thing is based on the casino not having a maximum stake. You must have a very large bankroll just to recover what you have lost. Of course, many players have won using this system but there are even more that ended up with big holes in the bankroll.
Game Systems
Example:
You bet 5 USD and lose.

You bet 10 USD and lose.

You bet 20 USD and lose.

You bet 40 USD and lose.

You bet 80 USD and lose.

You bet 160 USD and lose.

You bet 320 USD and lose.

Now you approach your maximum bet at the casino and you have to bet 640 USD in order to win 5 USD. If you lose, your next bet is 1,280 USD! As you can see, this is a dangerous system but it starts from the premises that you cannot lose 7-8 or more times in a row. So you are advised to be careful about the various roulette systems you try. Of course, you can make use of them but you must be aware that you are taking a big risk.

The D'Alembert system

 

Another game system used by many is the D'Alembert system. The inventor of the D'Alembert system was a French mathematician named Jean le Rond D'Alembert, who lived in the 1700s.

The D'Alembert system is simple. It is based on the following principle:

You start by placing a bet and you double your bet if you lose. If you win, you cut the bet to half of the initial amount. Many people believe that the D'Alembert system works well but you should always remember that there is no foolproof gambling system.

Hat ideas for carnival

Cowboys, Indians, sea captains, pirates, mafia bosses and showgirls sway these days serenely through the carnival strongholds.

The charming Venetian gondolier in striped shirt has an arching  neck scarf and the typical circular straw hat  on his head. With basket and chicken-hat, it has spread rural charm to women. Also on the farm, the leather pants of the Tyrolean Mountaineers placed. Too fussy Pollunder, corduroy trousers and braces are delivered with the funky  nerd glasses . Dark clothing, a laced potato sack on his back and the balaclava over his face turn any harmless guy to a feared bank robber. The fine-Charleston lady is adorned with spring-loaded hair clips . Robinson Crusoe is wearing a threadbare clothes and a tattered straw hat. The 80s can be recognized by a beach boy with unbuttoned Hawaiian shirt, neon glasses and an ornately painted beach hat. What would a Mexican poncho  without colorful  sombrero be?

Sporty elegance of bugatti

 

picture of mens hats.
At no other fashion brand, Bugatti attributes fit and sporty to the classic ones. The caps, hats and caps  speak to young businessmen as well as leisure active gentlemen, who lead a noble sporting style. Timeless models, which both show business as well as practicality in everyday life have the secret of the established labels.
Although it would suggest the same name, the Herford fashion company and the legendary car maker Bugatti are not under one roof. The exclusive French car producers went with the best sports car of its time, a historic racing and sales success, and today, it stands out as a luxury brand under the leadership of the Volkswagen Group.
Behind the fashion brand bugatti lies the East Westphalian FW Brinkmann GmbH, which is one of the leading menswear specialist in Europe since 1947. First Bugatti stood for noble men's coats, now under the name, there are also versatile accessories for men and hats. The hats are characterized by an especially stylish, functional interface  and a fine mix of materials. The hats  have much importance which is placed on classic design that reveals only by details the  distinctive leather straps its unconventional nature. This hat is good.

The headwear goes on safari!

 

Safari connects to wild animals, the vastness of Africa and hot sun. In this spirit , the hat takes the fashion theme of this season: safari hats and caps  in bright natural and earth tones, a little vintage, while very convenient and versatile portable.

Safari in Swahili language means "journey" and has its origin in the same major Arabic word "safar". Of course, it does not mean a club holiday in Majorca, but rather an exploration of the vast savannah plains. It is observed in more or less exotic animals. It is photographed, and occasionally still is to be hunted. These big game hunting is now largely open to tourism, but it was originally a privilege for the rich and the aristocracy in Europe and in East Africa. Hence the safari fashion is influenced primarily by the colonial British and their trophies.


Natural fabrics in muted sand, khaki and coffee colors  and slightly nostalgic forms are the typical safari-style! Buffalo, elephant, lion, rhino, leopard, giraffe and zebra are among the hunting objects of desire that are not safe even with the so-called extinct animal print in the fashion world. These include headgear, the nature-related patterns and illustrations pick up from the wilderness. We may be curious about what keeps the fashion this summer so everything is ready for us.

The best tips for a pleasant charter flight

The economy class syndrome -no chance


The so-called tourist class syndrome always makes headlines. Victims are passengers on very long flights where there is too little freedom of movement in the seat and where there is a danger of having thrombosis. These cases are dramatic, but fortunately very rare.

The reasons are obvious: there is little room on the plane.

How is this considered as a life-threatening illness? The air pressure in the cabin is less than on the ground. The result: the veins expand, blood flow slows down the clotting risk is increasing, especially with long rest and bent posture of the legs. In addition, the low humidity leads to increased fluid loss on board. There is thickening of the blood.

Tips for long flights

 

Do not smoke, because the vessels are narrowed further with this. Drink plenty - a glass every half hour is just enough for you! Mineral water, fruit teas, fruit and vegetable juices can help to compensate for  fluid loss and give the body valuable minerals and salts. Alcohol, tea or coffee must be avoided whenever possible, because they dehydrate the body. When sitting do not hit the legs! Regularly get up (at least once an hour ) and walk around  the aisles. There is an easy to do calisthenics: place feet flat on the floor of the aircraft, then alternately raise the heel and toes and press it again to the ground. Straighten the legs as far as possible, alternating the left and lift right knee toward your nose. In between, massage the calves.

The best tips for a pleasant flight

Vacation in itself is something wonderful especially the journey that you will experience. For many people, air travel is associated with tension and stress. Finally, yes you are flying somewhere. Often times, a flight for the holiday may coincide with a cold. How do you cope well with the strains? You will find various solutions that can help to prevent various problems.


Book The cheapest flights 

 

Tip 1 - pack up all to become ready


On the eve before your flight, your bags should be packed as much as possible, even your hand luggage should be ready to make sure that you will be ready for your charter flight. So you avoid that shortly before departure, you are still on the big rush, because you cannot find anything important during this time. Checklists also help to keep everything at a glance. Think about exactly what you are at the airport, at check-in and aircraft immediately after landing. Suitcase locks you should already attached at home - so you also save yourself from unnecessary fumbling at the airport until you've found suitcase lock and key.

Tip 2 - Looking ahead to pack


Important documents such as airline ticket or passport, you should always be on hand as much as possible. Consider this further if you are reading materials, listen to MP3 player or similar. It should also be unpacked in the plane without much effort. It is also important to have the medication or emergency equipment be packed at hand. A fanny pack or small bag in this case is very practical.
 
Tip 3 - Time schedule reserves


Public transport may have longer waiting periods or stops, taxis can be caught in a traffic jam. It is therefore important for your ride to the airport that you set out in a timely manner so as not to get stressed unnecessarily.

Tip 4 - Online Check- In

Meanwhile there is the opportunity to check in from home via the website of the airline and even the boarding- pass printing is possible. The process is usually very easy and saves you a lot more this time: You need not to be classified at the airport with a baggage in a long queue. You can have a fast- pass switch. Everything you need is in a computer and a printer.

Tip 5 - Virtually dress


If you do not want to be unscathed through the security checkpoint, then you should avoid clothing with lots of metal parts and opulent jewelry. Wear a pair of pants without a belt. The shoes must be taken out as soon as possible since the shoes must be quickly out. The socks should have no holes, and as dark as possible - after all, it is also a bit embarrassing for you, if you discard your shoes and even your toes through a hole into the sunlight. Furthermore, your clothes should be as soft and comfortable, so you can sit for a long time.

Tip 6 - On Fitness


Through the air circulation in the air conditioning on the plane, the air is often chilly. With the, temperature your immune system is exposed to high stress. During the flight, you may catch a bad cold. You can view the likelihood of becoming ill. Always remember that before the flight, you need  to eat a healthy diet and do something for your fitness. Furthermore, you should keep  a warm air jacket or a shawl with you if it is really cold. Do not blow directly from a vent. You will increase your risk to absorb germs. In addition, it helps to wash your hands frequently, and this must be cleaned with wipes before eating on the plane.
