Dig for victory!

"Dig! Dig! Dig! And your muscles will grow big!"
" Dig for Victory"czyli "Kop dla zwycięstwa" to hasło kampanii propagandowej, która zachęcić miała Brytyjczyków do uprawy warzyw we własnych ogródkach działkowych podczas II Wojny Światowej.
W ten sposób brytyjski rząd próbował radzić sobie z niedoborami żywności, które powstały po przerwaniu dostaw z USA i Kanady w trakcie działań wojennych.

Spelling Bee

Spelling bee to konkursy ortograficzne polegające na literowaniu słów ( odpowiednik polskiego dyktanda).  Pomysł powstał w XIX wieku w USA i tam po raz pierwszy użyto tej nazwy. W 1925 roku zwycięzca krajowego etapu został zaproszony do Białego Domu i od tej pory kolejni amerykańscy prezydenci podtrzymuja tę tradycję.
Znaczenie nazwy konkursu nie jest do końca wyjaśnione.
Polecam wszystkim amerykański film z roku 2006 pod tytułem "Akeelah i jej nauczyciel" ( tytuł ang. "Akeelah and The Bee"). To poruszająca historia uczestniczki konkursu, którą powienien obowiązkowo obejrzeć każdy uczeń, nauczyciel i rodzic.

International Stuttering Awareness Day

Dzis ochodzimy Światowy Dzień Osób Jąkających się . Święto ustanowiono w 1998 roku, aby uwrażliwić społeczeństwo na problemy osób dotknietych tą przypadłością.

Since 1998, every year on October 22 we celebrate ISAD. Isn’t this an excellent joint project between ISA, IFA and ELSA? Haven’t we already accomplished a lot together?The self-help groups and the national associations become very active and creative when International Stuttering Awareness Day approaches. The Stuttering Homepage has been the home of ISAD online conferences on stuttering until 2012.  The International Stuttering Association has been running the online conference since 2013.There is big media coverage in many countries. People who stutter from self-help groups as well as professionals are interviewed for TV and newspapers. Excellent projects, interesting discussions and parties occur around the World around October 22. It is so gratifying to see how the national associations use this Day for working and celebrating.

UK's most expensive city

Najdroższe miasto w Wielkiej Brytanii? Założę się, ze większość z Was myśli o Londynie, a to nieprawda. Najdroższym miastem jest....
Britain is facing a housing crisis because of a serious shortage of new homes.

Surprisingly, the least affordable place to live in the UK is not London but Oxford where property prices are 16 times the average earnings of people living in the city.
Oxford council says they are facing a "catastrophe" because workers increasingly can not afford to live there.

Could rhubarb crumble help fight cancer?

Nowe lekarstwo na raka - rabarbar. Nawet jesli nie pomoże, to pewnie nie zaszkodzi.

A rhubarb-based drug could make cancer crumble.

Research has shown that an orange-coloured chemical in the autumn vegetable has powerful anti-cancer properties.

Parietin, which is also found in lichen, can zap cells in leukaemia, as well as lung and head and neck tumours.

However, healthy cells are untouched.

This is important because many of the debilitating side-effects of chemotherapy, from nausea to hair loss, are caused by healthy cells suffering collateral damage.

THE FIRST NATIONAL SYSTEM OF EDUCATION IN EUROPE

Dziś obchodzimy w Polsce Dzień Edukacji Narodowej. 

The Commission for National Education of the Kingdom of Poland and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania (Polish: Kommissya Edukacyi Narodowey Korony Polskiey Y. W. X. Litewskiego; Lithuanian: Lenkijos Karalystės ir Lietuvos Didžiosios Kunigaikštijos Valstybinė Edukacinė Komisija, hereafter refered to as The Educational Commission) was established in 1773. By purpose and design the Educational Commission combined the educational systems of both Lithuania and Poland under one national controlling body, thus directly taking over the responsibility for education and becoming the first "Ministry of Education" in Europe.

The Republic of Ireland fell one goal short of automatic qualification for Euro 2016 as they lost to Poland and will now have to enter the play-offs.

Grzegorz Krychowiak had given the home side an early lead with a fine strike but Jon Walters quickly equalised with a controversially awarded penalty.

In-form Robert Lewandowski powerfully headed in what proved to be the deciding goal late in the first half.

John Lennon's 75th birthday

John Lennon obchodziłby dziś swoje 75 urodziny. Zginął w wieku lat czterdziestu zamordowany przez szaleńca.
John Lennon would have been celebrating his 75th birthday on 9 October. The former Beatle was shot dead outside his New York apartment in 1980, aged just 40.
http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-merseyside-34446020
John Lennon left plenty to celebrate: his songs, of course, from "A Hard Day's Night" to "Strawberry Fields Forever" to the joyful, post-Beatles contentment of "Double Fantasy." There's also the introspection of his interviews, the literary wit of such books as "In His Own Write" and a variety of artworks.

Scotland do not fear Robert Lewandowski

Szkotom Lewandowski nie straszny. Nie boimy się go - twierdzą przed czwartkowym meczem - ale go szanujemy.

Scotland will not fear Poland striker Robert Lewandowski in Thursday's crucial Euro 2016 qualifier, says assistant manager Mark McGhee.

The Scots will be out if they lose but McGhee says they have no special plans to deal with Bayern Munich forward Lewandowski, who has scored 12 goals in his last four games.

"We have total respect for him, a fantastic player," said McGhee.

"But we have players in form as well, players who scored at the weekend."

Scotland could even go out with a win at Hampden, if the Republic of Ireland beat Germany in Dublin but then do not beat Poland in Warsaw on Sunday.

Dziś przypomniałam sobie wiersz Williama Blake'a  (1757 - 1827) o chorej róży.
Różo ! Tyś chora!

The Sick Rose

BY WILLIAM BLAKE

O Rose thou art sick. 

The invisible worm, 

That flies in the night 

In the howling storm: 

Has found out thy bed

Of crimson joy:

And his dark secret love

Does thy life destroy.
