Worktables and Office Partition Systems are examples of office furniture that are important in any business. A reproduction French armoire from the local furniture store, a pretty mix of odd-lot English teacups from a neighborhood flea market, and an old print from your college trip to Italy can be charming to­gether. Sell or give away nonessential items that you don’t like, and make a list of the key, big pieces you will need to replace before unloading major furniture items you no longer want to live with. You won’t find a modern queen- or king-size bed among antiques, and you will want to choose a reproduction high chair or crib for safety’s sake, but otherwise antiques deserve a second look. Growers who use the technology aren’t just on the cutting edge; their combined efforts may end up saving humanity from packing up to find another home. Now, we use similar technology in basic water filters at home or work. Once you’ve decided on a general look that appeals to you and fits your lifestyle, you can shop intelligently for necessary pieces and collectible accents that work. Heir­looms that work as well today as they did “way back when” include quilts (with their surprisingly contemporary geometric shapes and colors), heavy cutwork table runners, pewter candlesticks, copper pots, and real wood furniture, from budget-friendly pine and oak to elegant maple and cherry.

One thing you will appreciate is that country pieces from various cultures tend to go surprisingly well together. In this section, we’ll discuss different types of country decor in detail. That’s the essence of country decor! Country furnishings vary, but they have this in common: They’re never around just to impress the neighbors or fill up space. Since the days of sailing ships, American homes have been enriched with rugs from the Orient, porcelain from China, silver from Mexico, and so on. For a look that’s a bit more eclectic, try a bold, carved mask from Africa instead of the print from Italy and a cinnabar box from China instead of porcelain from England. Fresh country may be a bit sentimental, but it’s not corny. Intelligent, organic, and sometimes a bit off-beat, fresh country is definitely right for the times. Our country is at war in an unfamiliar territory, and a battle is about to begin. Fresh country style means fewer things to dust and dry-clean, fuss with or have fall over, but they’re better pieces, carefully chosen to meet our needs, both physical and emotional.

Today’s fresh country style is kid-friendly, but, at the same time, it reminds you that you have an interest in art history. And here’s a nice bonus: Knowing your style means that you will be able to spot the bargains and the one-of-a-kind treasures. As Perseverance continues to explore Jezero Crater, the HazCams will help the rover navigate the hazardous Martian terrain by detecting large rocks, trenches or sand dunes in its path. CAPSTONE will advise us on how much fuel is going to be expended by Gateway to maintain that orbit,” he adds. Even factory-made Industrial Age pieces from the mid-1800s to the 1930s have earned the patina of age and can cost much less than you’d expect. If you’re looking at a bureau from your grandmother’s house, a table from your parents’ first apartment, and a pair of flea market side chairs you bought years ago, you will realize things haven’t changed all that much.

The years 1800 and 1900 are divisible by 100, but not by 400. John Adams’s term and William McKinley’s first term did not include a 366-day leap year, so those terms were one day shorter than a normal full term. According to NASA Headquarters, the seal should never be used with the NASA insignia, since the two elements are intended for different purposes and are visually incompatible when seen side by side. It is a nondescript planet with nothing to distinguish it, except for two bright spots that have been discovered in one of the craters on its surface. Our solar system contains the sun, inner rocky planets, the gas giants, or the outer planets, and other celestial bodies, but how they all formed is something that scientists have debated over time. Our romantic side loves to recall the mythical “good old days,” a time of rough-hewn goods and tender sentiments. The NASA Socials are the brainchild of JPL News and Social Media Manager Veronica McGregor, who started the program in January of 2009 (in those days, they were called “tweetups”; NASA switched to “socials” in 2012). For a year, McGregor had seen NASA’s burgeoning social media community connect space fans around the world.
