LIFESTYLE FLOORING WORLD

UNDERFLOOR HEATING

Underfloor heating has been around for much longer than people generally think. It was certainly used by the Romans and Greeks as long as 2,500 years ago, and there is some evidence that in floor heating may have been used by inhabitants of the Aleutian Islands in Neolithic times. Of course there was no electricity for floorheating in those days, and so hot gases, usually from an external fire, were directed through flues beneath the stone floors and in walls.

Underfloor heating has come a long way since then, although it only started to become popular after 1980, when the first standards for in floor heating systems were introduced in Europe. There are three popular methods of floor warming used today:

Low voltage underfloor heating

Electric cable underfloor heating

Hydronic underfloor heating

Low voltage underfloor heat is based on a 24 volt AC or DC electric current, and is popular overseas, especially in the United States. Low voltage in floor heaters can be run directly from a solar power or wind generator source. Underfloor electric cables are the most common floor heater in South Africa, where they use a 240 volt power source. They can also be run from a 120 volt source such as is found in America. Hydronic under floor heating consists of a network of tubes containing hot water that is pumped from a heating source. These tubes are usually embedded in the concrete slab during building.

An in floor heater provides the most comfortable and consistent heat. It is energy efficient and provides consistent room temperatures. It can be set up in zones, allowing you to control temperatures room by room.

SMARTBRAIN

Here's a thankful mom for the great work of Smartbrain.

"I just wanted to say thank you for all your hard work and patience to teach Alida to read.

In the beginning she was very negative about the reading classes and didn’t always want to go. Over the past 4 months we could see the dramatic improvement in her attitude towards the classes and she is now eager to go to class.

Personally I think her self-esteem has already improved a lot and she is becoming more confident and at ease when doing oral talks in front of her class.

She surprised herself, as well as us, as parents, when she received a mark of 60% at the end of this term for her Afrikaans. This is a big contrast to her 39% mark of last term.

I don’t think she ever expected that she could get such a mark. She always struggled with spelling and reading, but we can now see that all her hard work was worth it.

Thank you very much for all your patient effort.

DADA'S SPICES

Makes: one loaf For the Dough: 3 cups all-purpose flour 1/4 cup granulated sugar 2 1/4 teaspoons (1 envelope) active dry yeast 1/2 teaspoon salt 2 ounces unsalted butter 1/3 cup whole milk 1/4 cup water 2 large eggs, at room temperature 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract For the Filling: 1 cup granulated sugar 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground nutmeg 50g unsalted butter, melted until browned **This is the original recipe I tested and use. Some bakers have found that the dough doesn’t rise, because the yeast is not first activated in warm water. As a fail-safe, feel free to activate your yeast first. To activate yeast, whisk yeast into 3 tablespoons of warm water. The water should be between 40 – 50 C. Add a pinch of granulated sugar and allow the mixture to sit for about 5 minutes, until the mixture is foamy and frothy. Your yeast is ready to go! If the mixture does not foam and froth, toss the yeast and try again with another package of yeast. Add the activated yeast when you combine the wet and dry ingredients. In a large mixing bowl (I used just the bowl of my stand mixer) whisk together 2 cups flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Set aside. Whisk together eggs and set aside. In a small saucepan, melt together milk and butter until butter has just melted. Remove from the heat and add water and vanilla extract. Let mixture stand for a minute or two, or until the mixture registers around 50 degrees C. Pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients and mix with a spatula. Add the eggs and stir the mixture until the eggs are incorporated into the batter. The eggs will feel soupy and it’ll seem like the dough and the eggs are never going to come together. Keep stirring. Add the remaining 3/4 cup of flour and stir with the spatula for about 2 minutes. The mixture will be sticky. That’s just right. Place the dough is a large, greased bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and a clean kitchen towel. Place in a warm space and allow to rest until doubled in size, about 1 hour. *The dough can be risen until doubled in size, then refrigerated overnight for use in the morning. If you’re using this method, just let the dough rest on the counter for 30 minutes before following the roll-out directions below. While the dough rises, whisk together the sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg for the filling. Set aside. Melt 2 ounces of butter until browned. Set aside. Grease and flour a loaf pan. Set that aside too. Deflate the risen dough and knead about 2 tablespoons of flour into the dough. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let rest for 5 minutes. On a lightly floured work surface, use a rolling pin to roll the dough out. The dough should be 30 cms x about 50 cms long. If you can’t get the dough to 50 cms long… that’s okay. Just roll it as large as the dough will go. Use a pastry brush to spread melted butter across all of the dough. Sprinkle with all of the sugar and cinnamon mixture. It might seem like a lot of sugar. Seriously? Just go for it. Slice the dough vertically, into six equal-sized strips. Stack the strips on top of one another and slice the stack into six equal slices once again. You’ll have six stacks of six squares. Layer the dough squares in the loaf pan like a flip-book. Place a kitchen towel over the loaf pan and allow in a warm place for 30 to 45 minutes or until almost doubled in size. Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 180 degrees C. Place loaf in the oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the top is very golden brown. The top may be lightly browned, but the center may still be raw. A nice, dark, golden brown will ensure that the center is cooked as well. Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 20 to 30 minutes. Run a butter knife around the edges of the pan to loosen the bread and invert onto a clean board. Place a cake stand or cake plate on top of the upside down loaf, and carefully invert so it’s right side up. Serve warm with coffee or tea. I think this bread is best served the day it’s made, but it can also be wrapped and kept at room temperature for up to 2 days.
