Dinant - where the saxophone was invented.

Dinant to piękne belgijskie miasto, w którym urodził się wynalazca saxofonu.

The saxophone was invented by a Belgian, Antoine-Joseph (Adolphe) Sax, born on November 6, 1814 in Dinant. His father, Charles was an expert maker of musical instruments. As a child he learned to make instruments in his father's shop. His father's passion for creating instruments had such a strong influence on him that by the age of six, Sax had already become an expert as well. He produced some of the finest specimens of flutes, clarinets, and other instruments. He also learned to play the instruments because he had to test them when he made them. During his youth, Adolphe Sax studied the clarinet and the flute at the Brussels Conservatory.....

White rainbows.

Biała tęcza to niezwykle rzadkie zjawisko.

They've shown up sporadically over active lava flows in Hawaii, at the base of Yosemite Falls in California during the spring snow melt, and in the cloud forests of Costa Rica when the Christmas winds blow in clouds of mist from late December through early February. They've also occasionally been seen in various places around the globe in the night sky during a rain shower around the time of the full moon.

How to cheat in exams.

Pomysłowość zdających egzaminy nie ma granic - równania na paznokciach, telefon wbudowany w kalkulator, sztuczna ręka...

Students may be breaking up for school this week but that doesn't mean that their Christmas break will be study-free. 

With January exams on the horizon, it seems there's no end to the lengths students will go to achieve grades without actually spending their Christmas break revising.  

From equations disguised as nail art to hints hidden under plasters, these cheating hacks shared by milkha prove students don't miss a trick when it comes to cheating. 

While they may seem like an easy way out, these methods are not recommended as they constitute as an immediate disqualification

Dietetycy opracowali listę produktów żywnościowych, które powinniśmy jeść zimą. Są na niej między innymi: brukselka, żurawiny, łosoś.

Revealed, the foods you should be eating this winter - including Brussels sprouts, cranberries and artichokes

• London-based nutritionist Rob Hobson reveals his top 'superfoods' this winter
• Brussels sprouts, high in vitamin C, are not just for the Christmas dinner table
• Cranberries, which reduce the risk of heart disease, are available in the winter
• It's easy to get side-tracked over the Christmas period and overindulge in chocolate.
  But this time of year is perfect for the abundance of fruit and vegetables which have just come into season.
  Keep the cheese and biscuits away and instead turn to healthy stews, casseroles and soups, says Healthspan's head of nutrition, Rob Hobson.

The city of 350 dwarves.

Miasto, w którym mieszka 350 krasnali to oczywiście nasz Wrocław, o którym pisze Daily Mail.

Most cities are famous for something but Wroclaw in Poland has a particularly quirky trademark. 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XzgKPjGy4v4

The city is home to 163 small bronze dwarves - and that's just the official figure.

Some think there may be as many as 350 of the cheeky foot-tall dwarf statues dotted round the city. 

Called 'krasnale' in Polish, the dwarves first appeared on the streets of Wroclaw in 2005.

My little pony... burger.

Holenderska restauracja serwuje burgery z końskiego mięsa pod wdzięczną nazwą "My Little Pony".

A restaurant in the Netherlands has become famous for serving up a dish called the 'My Little Pony Burger' - but it's not just a creative name.

The burger is actually made from real horse meat. 

Dutch restaurant Food Guerilla gets the strange delicacies from a quirky food truck called Keuken van het Ongewenst Dier - or the 'Unwanted Animal Kitchen'.

The patties are all made from the butchered meat of ageing ponies at nearby amusement park Slagharen.

Japanese socks.

Z  serii " Czego to Japończycy nie wymyślą.." Tym razem chodzi o skarpetki. Nawet tak prosta rzecz w Japonii ma wiele odmian Wynika to z faktu, że tutaj częściej niż w innych krajach zdejmuje się buty i posiadanie czystych, ładnych skarpetek jest niezbędne jeśli nie chcemy wyjść na prostaka i flejtucha.
Mamy tu na przykład : TABI - skarpetki, które można założyć do klapek "japonek", five toed socks czyli skarpetki pięciopalczaste, character socks z postaciami z kreskówek, screen printed socks, fuwa fuwa socks, slouchy "gal" socks (loose socks) - długie na ponad metr, luźne  skarpetki, noszone przez uczennice, które mocują je do nóg specjalnym plastrem.

If we’re going to look at socks, we should start with the traditional tabi. Tabi 足袋 are ankle high and recognizable by their split toe design and hook fastenings. The split between the big toe and the other toes means they are suitable to wear with traditional Japanese footwear such as geta and zori that resemble sandals with a strap that attaches to the sole between the toes. Traditional tabi are made of stiffer material than socks. This is good since it provides some protection for your feet (is it just my weird feet or are zori super painful to wear?).

The healthiest Christmas dinners

W rankingu najzdrowszych posiłków świątecznych nasze polskie, tradycyjne, wigilijne dania zajęły pierwsze miejsce.

If you want a healthy Christmas dinner this year, you'll have to head to Poland, a dietitian has revealed.

Christina Merryfield, lead dietitian at Bupa's Cromwell Hospital in London, has ranked the world's traditional dinners against each other - and the UK and US don't come off well.

The countries rank right at the bottom of the global leaderboard of the world's healthiest Christmas meals for their traditional, and very fatty, turkey dinners. 

Poland meanwhile has the world's healthiest Christmas meal, as a traditional dinner there is borscht - a red beetroot soup - and carp.

Advantages of global warming.

Wszystko ma swoje dobre strony. Globalne ocieplenie klimatu może uczynić Wielką Brytanię jednym z głównych eksporterów wina. Niestety, nie dane mi będzie się o tym przekonać, ponieważ stanie  się to około roku 2100.

While the main drink of choice in Edinburgh may currently be whiskey, it seems that the city could soon be one of the best places for a glass of white wine.

A new study suggests that changing weather patterns in the UK could see the country become a major wine producer by the turn of the century.

Unlikely areas, including Peckham in south London, and Milton Keynes, could be ideal areas for sauvignon blanc and chardonnay by as early as 2100.
