26th Grand Finale of WOSP will take place Sunday, 14th of January. This year all the collected funds will be devoted to purchase the equipment that would help to ensure that all the babies born in Poland have equal access to medical care. We all can support the cause and donate the money via bank transfer, buying special heart shaped stickers from the volunteers or biding auctions with special items donated by celebrities, politicians, etc. Also like each year, all over the country, there will be lots of events and concerts that support the action. For example, in Poznan, at 12.00 you can join the urban run. The list of attractions, as well as the bank account number and all the information needed can be found on the WOSP internet site.

Gingerbread Tradition

We still have over a moth till Christmas, but those of you who are thinking about baking gingerbreads, have to prepare themselves early enough. It is essential to bake gingerbreads at least 3 weeks earlier, if you want them to be soft on Christmas day. Of course it all depends on the recipe and  measurements of the ingredients. Basic gingerbread’s dough should be composed of wheat flour, rye flour, honey, cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg and pepper. But  obviously exist millions of recipes, that may vary in different countries and regions.

How did fitness tracker help resolve murder investigation?

Lately, I came across an article about how fitness tracker helped resolving the murder investigation. Out of curiosity, I’ve decided to read it cause it appeared to be quite unusual.

So, as you may have already guessed: the police with a help of the tracker could easily estimate the time of the death…and surprise, surprise: It happened to be exactly while she was supposed to be having a meal with her father. This time technology has ...

The power of imagination

You know when they told us that reading a book can change us? Well, recently it has been   proven. The scientists have conducted a research and it has showed that each book we read can affect and change our brain. The experiment lasted 19 days and each day in the morning the volunteers were examined with the magnetic resonance. After five days of not reading anything at all, the participants were to read 30 pages of Robert Harris’s Pompei- in the evening and next day-in the morning their knowledge was tested by a short quiz about the content of the book and after that: their brains were once again examined with the magnetic resonance. Last five days, just like at the very beginning, they didn’t read anything. The results were surprising. In brief: our brains were acting as if we were taking part in the activities described in the book. While reading, we tend to imagine ourselves being characters of the stories and it was visible on the resonance. Of course, there’re some scien...
