In what is now a push-button job for a machine, at the end of the 19th century was the most difficult chore. The weekly washing sometimes lasted for days. Washing machine manufacturing began in 1901. Washing powders were invented even later. Not until 1933 did they become available on the store shelf. The emergence of a synthetic detergent was a breakthrough in laundry history. Since then, new forms and types appear on the market every day.

Hungarian meadow viper (Vipera ursinii rakosiensis Méhely, 1893) is an inhabitant of steppe remnants. Recent populations occur on grasslands formed by a mosaic of drying marsh-meadows and sandy pastures, where the relatively diverse features of terrain and grass cover provides high prey-abundance and several different microclimatic options. Vipers spend winter hibernated in rodent burrows of local elevations. During spring as mating season starts males moves significantly more, this time is the most likely to see one of them. Young vipers are born late summer, early September, depending on the number of sunny days. On average 6-14 viper is born, with 12-16 cm length and weighing only 2 g. They become fertile at their third-fourth year. According to our measurements the biggest male was 47,1 cm in length, while the biggest female was 59,8 cm. Young individuals feed mainly on Orthopterans (locusts, grasshoppers, crickets), while adults consume lizards, young birds and rodents. The venom of Hungarian meadow viper is not lethal for humans, its bite – although due to the species’ cautiousness and rareness nowadays it is very infrequent – causes quickly disappearing, bee-sting-like symptoms. (Despite this, in case of being bitten we suggest to visit a doctor!) The cautiousness of this small snake is not accidental as, especially newborns are on the menu of several other species. The so called predators are storks, herons, harriers, roller, pheasant or even the strictly protected great bustard. Wild boar, badger or red fox can even dig them from their burrow.
