HUMAN WORLD: Postcrossing - I like it!
Saturday, January 11
picture source: www.en.wikipedia.orgI’ve always liked interesting ideas for example lectures in Historical Museum (not obligatory!) where I was the youngest participant or bookcrossing and many more. Few weeks ago I explored something new – postcrossing. Long, long time ago I was writing letters and emails with different people – from Poland and other parts of world. My writing was global ;)What is postcrossing? First step in you adventure will be registration on www.postcrossing.com. It takes a few seconds and you and you can be a member of the global community. I think that it’s worth to spend few minutes to fill your profile. Add information about your hobby, interests etc. It also will be easier to send you cards. If you have any special ideas about postcards which you want to receive, write about it.I love traveling so will be happy to receive with city or country views. Don’t forget to add your address :)Autor: Unknown Etykiety: HUMAN WORLD | 0 komentarze | Email This BlogThis! Share to X Share to Facebook |

CULTURE AND LANGUAGES: Films from 30's
Friday, January 10
picture source: www.screencrave.comAs on the previous, the same will be on this Friday and few next – today it will be dedicated to films from 30s. This period was for sound films – they eliminated silent films very fast. Nevertheless many actors didn’t lose their popularity – even it was a great time for them. To the greatest names we class Greta Garbo, Clark Gable, Humphrey Bogart, Shirley Temple, Judy Garland, Kirk Douglas and many more. It’s also worth to say that from 1930 there was production code – the list of forbidden things and scenes in the cinemas. It also pointed the most dangerous effects. Of course it wasn’t any obstacle for producers – for example long kisses were paused by steamy whispers. In the middle of 30s first full-time animated films became popular. First one was made by Walt Disney in 1937. There is no doubt that 30s were the beginning of Hollywood’s Golden Age which was till 50s.Autor: Unknown Etykiety: CULTURE , CULTURE AND LANGUAGES | 0 komentarze | Email This BlogThis!

HUMAN WORLD: "... dance should be danced"*
Thursday, January 9
picture source: www.wkinach.euDancing is a really great idea to spend your free time and I can recommend it to everyone :) No matter what kind, the most important is that it has only advantages. It improves the physical condition, can burn fat, strengthens and tones muscles, relaxes and strengthens the spine. But not only that! It also brings psychological benefits – during the dance (as well as any other move) our body produces huge amounts of epinephrine, norepinephrine and endorphins, so that we have more energy and feel happier. It also allows you to get rid of complexes ;) Dance is often used as a form of therapy in various types of mental disorders, depressions and neurosis. Besides ... do not hide it, the visual benefits of dancing are indescribable :)Autor: Unknown Etykiety: HUMAN WORLD | 0 komentarze | Email This BlogThis! Share to X Share to Facebook |

KITCHEN: Spanish paella
Wednesday, January 8
picture source: www.rezerwacje.net.plBe careful – your mouth can water after reading today’s post ;) I’ve found this taste last year in Madrid and this year once again in Barcelona. I love seafood and they are here – but I didn’t know that some kinds of paella are without them! From me it’s not acceptable – it’s not the same with chicken. Of course it’s only my opinion – prawns, prawns and many other seafood. The best are fresh but unfortunately Poland is not on the Mediterranean Sea – it’s a pity! Nevertheless we can find all products in our shops without any problems. Of course I’ve made some modifications ;) but wait a moment.Autor: Unknown Etykiety: KITCHEN | 0 komentarze | Email This BlogThis! Share to X Share to Facebook |

CULTURE AND LANGUAGES: SuperMemo
Tuesday, January 7
źródło obrazka: e-doradca.infoThe long weekend has just finished and it’s time to back to learning! Today a few words about method which can be used to learn foreign languages. It’s SuperMemo which was invented in 1985 in Poland. It was created by two scientists which weren’t linguists. One of them is a biologist and programmer – Piotr Woźniak, second one – doctor and biochemists, Edward Jacek Gorzelańczyk. Both of them are PhD at Poznan University of Medical Science. SuperMemo is a computer programme but not typical – it uses the properties of forgetting curve. The scientists discovered and described the algorithm of it and thanks to that, the method can be used now. So what SuperMemo is?Autor: Unknown Etykiety: CULTURE AND LANGUAGES , LANGUAGES | 0 komentarze | Email This BlogThis! Share to X Share to Facebook |

CULTURE AND LANGUAGES: Films from 20's
Friday, January 3
picture source: peanutonthetable.comIn last post I wrote that 20ties were a moment when the cinema was silent and first sound films were made as well. So there was a big change – from pictures only with subtitles to dialogues which could be heard form cinema screen. That change broke many actor’s careers – mainly because of the language border. It was also the end of many producing companies which couldn’t afford to change the expensive equipment – it was Great Depression around the world (1929-1933). But on the other side it was a great time to develop musicals. For me 20ties are connected with funny comedies or melodramas with happy end. Below I chose the most famous films from this decade in chronologic order – some of them I’ve watched and the rest are waiting for their turn :)Autor: Unknown Etykiety: CULTURE , CULTURE AND LANGUAGES | 0 komentarze | Email This BlogThis!

HUMAN WORLD: Untypical martial arts
Thursday, January 2
picture source: www.brothermartin.comWe’ve just invited New Year and I think that a lot of you have some wishes for next year. Maybe some of them are connected with staying fit and doing more exercises. And maybe you’ll make a decision to take up some martial art. Today I’ve decided to show you some ideas but I think that they aren’t typical. I haven’t even heard about them but they are interesting :)1. Cane-fu: name is from word cane and it uses cane ;) So it’s especially for older people who has this attribute. It doesn’t change the fact it’s quite unusual but maybe some of you are fans of this kind of gadgets :) In a word – don’t phunk the grandma (or grandpa) who has a cane.Autor: Unknown Etykiety: HUMAN WORLD | 0 komentarze | Email This BlogThis!
