Week 8 [02.12 - 08.12.2019] What soccer can teach us about freedom?

By
Imagine finding out today that you have to move somewhere far away from home tomorrow.
In one day you lose contact with all your loved ones. In addition, the place you get to is quite hostile – you have to face difficulties. You become a victim of racism, jokes, religious persecution.
Now my question is, is there thing or an activity that would allow you to forget about these problems? An activity that will allow you to enjoy and feel free? Is there such a thing or activity that would make you forget about problems? Something that would just let you enjoy and feel free? Before you answer the question, please listen to a story of Marc Bamuthi Joseph:

1. When do you feel freedom or what makes you feel free?
2. What is your opinion about Marc’s project? Would you like to volunteer in this type of project?
3. How would you use your hobby to help immigrants?

1. When do you feel freedom or what makes you feel free?
I feel free when I go out in the evening. I'm going to dance, I can hear music. People surround me and I can talk to everyone.

2. What is your opinion about Marc’s project? Would you like to volunteer in this type of project?
I think Marc's project is very interesting and innovative. A lot of people would be interested in such a project and I would like to take part in it.

3. How would you use your hobby to help immigrants?
I could teach them to program so that they could live independently and be free.

Thanks for your comment. A very practical approach. I know from my own experience that learning programming can be difficult and tiring. Wouldn't a better way to help immigrants be to combine dance with programming?

1. For me, freedom is when I leave work, then I can start the car and drive ahead.
2. Brand's design seems to be very interesting. I would like to take part in it and learn more.
3. My hobby, unfortunately, would not help immigrants in any way.

Hi! According to the first question, I meant more about the activity that gives you the most pleasure. Secondly, it seems to me that you did not watch the film :(

1. I feel free everytime when I do exercises or ride a motorbike, because it help me relax and clear my mind. For me freedom means something that give me opportunity to speak, act, think what I want without restraint and restriction.

2. I think that it is a nice initiative, because sport chains people together and combat prejudices. In my opinion soccer is great sport discipline that makes people closer and increases tolerance. Personally, I will be volunteer in his project, because I totally agree his attitude towards sport and relationship with immigrants.

3. Motorbike and motorization are my hobbies, so I can teach immigrants to repair cara or motors. Moreover, I can teach them to driver a car or scooter. In my opinion it may enable them to find job and be independent.

Thanks for your answers. A real men's hobby, how long has mechanics been your hobby? In addition, I think it's a great idea to teach immigrants mechanics.

I feel free when I know that I live in a safe place and my basic needs are met. I feel free when I have freedom of decision or when my freedom is not very limited.

The March design, as well as many other projects, are innovative and interesting. It is possible that I would like to take part in such a project, but I am not determined.

Every hobby is creative and can contribute to society. If a mechanic were to share his passion with an immigrant, then the immigrant could become a mechanic and earn him better. Every hobby, even playing games is able to help others.
Acceptance and support are the most important for immigrants. Unfortunately, many immigrants only come for money and do not want to assimilate. Or are they afraid? I do not know :(

Week 12 (12.01-18.01.15) Are you an early bird or a night owl ?

By
Owls are nocturnal creatures. They’re wide awake at night and they sleep during the day. If this sounds like bliss to you, then, like about 20 percent of the population who find themselves most active at around 9 pm, you may fall into the same category as our feathered friend. Night owls often have difficulty waking up in the morning, and like to be up late at night.  Studies of animal behaviour indicate that being a night owl may actually be built into some people’s genes. This would explain why those late-to-bed, late-to-rise people find it so difficult to change their behaviour. The trouble for night owls is that they just have to be at places such as work and school far too early. This is when the alarm clock becomes the night owl’s most important survival tool. Experts say that one way for a night owl to beat their dependence on their alarm clocks is to sleep with the curtains open. The Theory is that if they do so, the morning sunlight will awaken them gently and natura...

Week 12 (12.01-18.01.15) Extreme winter sports for thrill seekers

By
Nowadays many people are looking for alternative winter sports other than normal skiing or snowboarding. Dangerous sports and activities certainly give incredible adrenaline and new experiences. As a result, these new forms of physical activity have more and more fans.  Below are some examples of strange new winter sports. Speed Flying or Speed Riding is a extreme winter sport which is a combination of paragliding and skiing. While skiing, you can jump up when conditions get rough and then land again when you  choose so. You personally can choose how much flying vs. skiing you’d like to do. It’s a fantastic sport that is attractive for paragliders and skiers alike. Of course it is very dangerous. In 2014 a few people died. The most accidents are due to lack of experience and taking too high risk. If you are interested, there are fine video from Norway : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3Ero7J4aMg ...

Week 3 [ 21-27.10.19] Memory Capacity of the Human Brain

By
What Is the Memory Capacity of the Human Brain? In the age of information technology, we are used to the fact that any information should occupy a certain amount of memory in storage. And since memories are information, then sooner or later they must fill the amount of memory in a person’s head. But the human brain is not a hard drive where you can write information in free blocks. Source: https://revth.files.wordpress.com/2018/05/battle-for-the-mind.jpg Neurons communication The process of "recording" information in the brain occurs through the emergence of connections between neurons and the creation of neural networks. Each time, recalling a past event, we activate the neural connections associated with it. We can say that having a finite number of neurons (according to researches it is about 100 billion cell nuclei) a finite number of connections can be created inside the brain. This, in turn, might me...
