Eat tomato sauce!

Sos pomidorowy jest zdrowy dla naszych jelit. Naukowcy twierdzą, że zdrowszy niż jedzenie

surowych pomidorów.

Cooked tomato sauce boosts the levels of healthy bacteria in the gut, according to research. 

Spanish scientists found that tomatoes have a better probiotic effect in the gut when fried into a sauce, rather than when eaten raw. 

Although a healthy bacteria in the gut prevents some antioxidants being absorbed from tomato sauce, the sauce boosts the effectiveness of that same bacteria.

The researchers say this makes cooked tomato sauce better for gut health than raw tomatoes, because the cooking process preserves the important chemical which gives tomatoes their red colour.

David Edward Hughes (1831-1900)

16 maja 1831 roku urodził się wynalazca David Edward Hughes. Zawdzięczamy mu wynalezienie mikrofonu i telgrafu. 
David Hughes made his fortune by inventing the Type Printing Telegraph and the first microphone. His trademarks were simple components and clear thinking.
Hughes' first invention was the Type Printing Telegraph, which was soon used everywhere by the Western Union Telegraph Company, USA. Hughes became famous throughout Europe. Fortune made, he went back to London to live a quiet life.However, it wasn't long before his inventive streak struck again, this time to invent the microphone. He showed the new device to an audience of distinguished scifiles in London. David could have made a huge fortune if he'd patented the device, because he had a clear vision of its potential. But he chose, instead, to give it to the new world of telecommunications.
His microphone and other inventions are kept at the Science Museum in London. When he died, he left £400,000 (a huge sum in those days) to five hospitals in London and a bequest to the Royal Society.

12 tons of chocolate spills on the road.

O dzisiejszym wypadku cysterny z płynną czekoladą w Wielkopolsce donoszą też angielskojęzyczne  media.

A lorry has overturned on a Polish motorway and splashed tons of liquid chocolate that is now solidifying all over the road.

The private broadcaster TVN24 showed images of an overturned truck surrounded by brown chocolate covering six lanes on the A2 motorway, blocking traffic in both directions.

Rescue officials said the liquid chocolate was solidifying as it cooled and would require large amounts of hot water to clear away.

Senior brigadier Bogdan Kowalski, with the fire brigade of Slupca, a town in western Poland, said 'the cooling chocolate is worse than snow.'

The incident happened around 60 kilometers east of the western city of Poznan, where the lorry overturned after hitting a crash barrier, with the driver sustaining light injuries. Authorities are now left with an unsavory clean-up job. "There's a 5-centimeter-thick layer of liquid chocolate that's gradually becoming solid," deputy fire brigade chief Bogdan Kowalski said. "It looks like a huge chocolate bar."https://www.dailysabah.com/food/2018/05/09/polish-highway-blocked-after-12-tons-of-chocolate-spills-on-the-road

LONDON — Drivers in western Poland were caught in a sticky mess on Wednesday after a tanker carrying liquid chocolate overturned and spilled its contents onto the road. All four lanes of the highway connecting the city of Poznan to Warsaw were covered by the brown goo, footage from the news network TVN24 and social media showed.

Donaszanie ubrań po młodszym rodzeństwie to normalne zjawisko (mogą go uniknąć tylko pierworodni)  i zdarza się nawet w rodzinie królewskiej. Mały książę Louis nosi ubranka po starszym bracie. Oto dowód:

Wake up, Louis, Mummy's doing your royal photocall: Adorable snaps taken by Kate of the newborn prince being kissed by his older sister Charlotte wearing a hand-me-down outfit from George

The Daily Mile

Otyłość wśród dzieci staje się z roku na rok coraz poważniejszym problemem . W walce z tym zjawiskiem ma pomóc program The Daily Mile wprowadzany w szkołach podstawowych.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMY_j8iVHKY

The Daily Mile to codziennie 15 minut biegania na podwórku szkolnym. Nie ma rywalizacji, każdy biegnie w swoim tempie. Nie ma potrzeby przebierania się w sportowe stroje - można biegać nawet w mundurku szkolnym. Dobrze by było pomyśleć o wprowadzeniu programu w naszych szkołach.

The Daily Mile is a social activity, where in the children run or jog – at their own pace – in the fresh air with friends. Children can occasionally walk to catch their breath, if necessary, but should aim to run or jog for the full 15 minutes.Research has shown that The Daily Mile can even increase attainment in primary school, and parents have reported an increased interest in health and wellbeing from their children after they have started The Daily Mile.We want every child to have the opportunity to do a Daily Mile at primary school, and are now working to build a Daily Mile community with schools, local councils, sports bodies and other supporters in the UK and beyond.  Read more:https://thedailymile.co.uk/about/

Flag Day in Poland

Dziś obchodzimy w Dzień Flagi. Święto wprowadzono w 2004, ale nadal niewiele osób wywiesza flagi przed domem. Nie jesteśmy jedynym krajem, który obchodzi takie święto. Dni flagi narodowej mają też : Stany Zjednoczone, Kanada, Meksyk,Finlandia, Litwa, Ukraina i wiele innych. Oficjalnego święta flagi nie ma natomiast Szwecja ( w 1983 święto flagi zastapiono świętem narodowym) a flagi narodowe obecne są tam na codzień niemal przed każdym domem. Przykład godny naśladowania.
Flag Day in Poland has been celebrated annually on May 2 since 2004. Flag Day is considered a national holiday, but it is normally a working day unless it falls on a weekend.

Polish Flag Day commemorates raising of the Polish flag on the Victory Column in the city of Berlin on May 2, 1945, at the end of the Battle of Berlin. The flag was hoisted by Polish Army troops who fought alongside their Soviet allies.

The national flag of Poland is a horizontal bicolor. The upper stripe is white and the lower stripe is read. These colors has been officially considered the national colors of Poland since 1831. Both of them were present on the coats of arms of Poland and Lithuania, two constituent nations of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.

The biggest mosquito in the world.

Straszne komarzysko grasuje w Chinach. Jest większe od ludzkiej dłoni. Potwór! 

Nobody likes being bitten by mosquitoes - certainly not by this one. 

An insect expert claimed to have caught the world's largest mosquito with an astonishing 11.15cm (4.4in) wing span - about 10 times longer than that of an average mosquito.

The massive insect was caught on Qingcheng Mountain in south-west China's Sichuan Province. The mosquito was discovered by Chinese entomologist Zhao Li during a field inspection in August, 2017.  

Mr Zhao told MailOnline the insect belonged to a species called holorusia mikado, which is the world's largest mosquito species originating in Japan. 

When he first caught the mosquito, he thought it was extraordinarily big. However, he has only recently confirmed it to be the largest mosquito in the world.

We are your friends - T-mobile advert.

O reklamach T-mobile pisałam już kiedyś.(https://englishpleaseee.blogspot.com/2015/11/t-mobile-advert.html)
Głównym ich atutem jest wykorzystanie wpadających w ucho piosenek. Tak też jest w ostatnim spocie reklamowym z udziałem Doroty Wellman
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tl38Mw5z4Xs
gdzie w tle słyszymy "We Are Your Friends" francuskiego  duetu  Justice.
 ( Remix nagrania Never Be Alone brytyjskiej grupy Simian z 2003 roku). Videoklip piosenki zdobył w 2006 nagrodę MTV.
Tekst utworu jest niezwykle prosty:

Because we are your friends

You'll never be alone again

Well come on

Well come on

Well come on

Well come on

Because we are your friends

You'll never…
