6 NEGATIVE-CALORIE FOODS TO HELP YOU LOSE WEIGHT
Temat w sam raz na okres poswiąteczny, kiedy mamy wyrzuty sumienia z powodu obżarstwa. Na liście znajdziecie między innymi grzyby, seler naciowy, paprykę i inne.
Anyone who has ever been on a diet knows that the basic formula for weight loss is simple: to burn more calories than you eat. According to Dr. Donald Hensrud from the Mayo Clinic online, it is “theoretically possible” for some foods to be called “negative calorie” because there are, indeed, certain foods with a caloric content low enough to be fully burned during exercise. So the next time you feel hungry at night and you crave for that chocolate vanilla ice-cream in the refrigerator, stay away from your craving and eat one of these negative calories snacks or foods. They are extremely healthy and they will be your best friend for your weight loss. Here are six foods with very low calories that can help you kickstart a healthier lifestyle. As we always advise, before entering any diet or exercise program, you should consult your primary health care provider.

Jesteście ciekawi? Oto lista:
They are the foods we don't give much thought to.
Relatively inexpensive and easy-to-source, these fruit, nuts, fish and vegetables are often overlooked in favour of more exotic 'superfoods'.
But these ordinary kitchen stalwarts often contain high levels of vitamins, minerals and nutrient.
An infographic by Birmingham based catering company Plyvine Catering reveals the ten healthiest foods on the planet, from vitamin C-rich citrus fruits such as lemons to walnuts, which contain the most Omega-3 fatty acids of all nuts.

Dziś dwudzieste drugie urodziny obchodzi amerykańska piosenkarka Meghan Trainor, znana przede wszystkim z przeboju " All About That Bass".

When she was 18, after having self-recorded three of her own albums, she was signed to a music publishing deal, which soon led to another with Epic Records.

The flag of Mars?
Jeszcze daleko do kolonizacji Marsa, ale BBC już zastanawia się jak powinna wyglądać przyszła flaga czerwonej planety.
If humans are to colonise Mars, we’d surely need a flag to represent our presence on the planet. But what would it look like? We decided to come up with a Martian-worthy design.
If space really is the final frontier, then it’s likely that some day humans will differentiate their extra-terrestrial colonies with flags – just like we do with countries on Earth today.
What kind of flag might represent Martians of the future? One of the more widely-known unofficial flags was proposed the 1990s, based on the idea of terraforming – the colours are intended to represent the planet’s future path to habitability; from red and barren on the left, to blue and wet on the right.

A dog and pony show.

Ugly skyscrapers.
Daily Mail prezentuje listę najbrzydszych drapaczy chmur świata. Najbliszy nam można podziwiać w stolicy naszych sąsiadów - Pradze.
Nie wszyscy wiedzą, że słowo SKYSCRAPER było pierwotnie terminem żeglarskim i określało maszt lub żagiel na żaglowcu.
The strangest skyscrapers in the world are an endless source of debate, with Bangkok's unusual Elephant Building being billed as 'the most talked about building' in Thailand and one of the world's ugliest.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, however. The 32-floor high-rise was built to look like an elephant – one of the country's most famous animals – and houses luxury flats, office space, a swimming pool and shops.
Prague's Zizkov Television Tower doesn't look that odd when it is viewed from the city's historic centre, but visitors who get up close encounter a bizarre sight – sculptures of naked babies climbing the communist-era tower's pillars.The sculptures were not part of the original design, however. They were attached as part of a temporary art installation in 2000 and returned the following year as part of a permanent exhibit.
From a tower that has 'hugging koalas' to a colourful hotel that depicts three Chinese gods, these are the strangest skyscrapers in the world.

Bald Eagle
Bald eagle czyli orzeł bielik to piękny, duży ptak (rozpiętość skrzydeł dochodzi do 2 i pół metra) będący symbolem Stanów Zjednoczonych.
Słowo BALD wywodzi się z języka średnioangielskiego (taką nazwą lingwiści określają czas między bitwą pod Hastings, która miała miejsce w roku 1066 a wiekiem piętnastym) kiedy to oznaczało błyszczącą lub świecącą biel.
We współczesnym angielskim słowo BALD znaczy po prostu "łysy".
Orzeł bielik był świętym ptakiem Indian,https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrBOyaF7wFI a dla Amerykanów jest jednym z najbardziej rozpoznawalnych symboli narodowych.
9 FACTS YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT BALD EAGLE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qveV7SG9LrM
Ptak okazał się także niezwykle inteligentny, kiedy pokazał, że niezbyt mu sie podoba kandydat na prezydenta Donal Trump.

British children are growing up with American accents
Brytyjskie dzieci przyswajają sobie amerykański akcent! Wszystko to przez nadmiar tanich amerykańskich programów w brytyjskiej TV.
Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3348330/British-children-growing-American-accents-flood-cheap-imported-TV-shows-says-creator-Teletubbies.html#ixzz3te0SBP5a
British children are learning to talk with American accents because of a flood of cheap TV programmes being imported from the US, it has been claimed.
Anne Wood, creator of Teletubbies, In the Night Garden, said that it is happening because not enough children's TV is being made in the UK leaving viewers with no other options.
'Children's programme-making in this country is in danger of getting obliterated,' said Anne, 78, a BAFTA award-winning producer.
'You are getting children playing in the playground and talking in American accents because of all the programmes they are getting from there. There is a predominance of cheap American imports.'

DARK DECEMBER...
" When dark December glooms the day,
And takes our autumn joys away...."

gloom - mrok, ciemność, przygnębienie, posępność, ponury nastrój, zasnuć się, sponurzeć
And takes our autumn joys away...."
