Hubble - is the biggest telescope, which was launched in the XX century, one of the most known telescopes in the world and our window to the far galaxies. A few days ago this great apparat celebrated 30 years of its hard work. 2014 HUBBLE WFC3/UVIS IMAGE OF M16 On April 24, 1990 it was the space shuttle Discovery delivered Hubble into low Earth orbit. Within a week it occurred out, that the primary mirror of the telescope had been polished to the wrong shape, which drastically lowered the quality of images. Almost instantly a group of engineers and scientists started working on how to fix this issue. By the year 2002 all incorrect parts of the optical system were replaced with improved ones. During his long life Hubble has received 5 servicing missions, which were designed to improve/fix any part of its systems as well as let us enjoy great discoveries made with it. Now anyone can apply for time on the telescope. There are no restrictions in academic affiliation, once...

I have been learning English language since elementary school, I have attended different English courses despite of the experience  my English needs to be improved. So learning languages is not easy for me, especially now when I am learning Polish. Since I know Russian, people think that learning Polish is not that hard. However  they are completely different. It’s easier for me to understand someone than to speak. The Polish language has a lot of hissing words that are difficult to pronounce. There are plenty of courses where they promise that you can learn language in  half a year or even a month. I think they are not as effective and easy as it seems. I am wondering if there are some techniques how to learn languages faster. So here I found Ted talks video of Lydia Machova "The secrets of learning new languages What do you think about this video? Do you think it is enough to know only English? Do you think foreign citizens should learn Polish? Which langu...

I am interested in Time Managment topic because I can not be on time with deadlines and I have tendency to postpone things and my duties. It seems that there are plenty of time so I have time for sleeping or watching another episode of TV series. Due to this period of isolation time goes faster then usual for me.

I think everyone note something for themeselves What do think about Time Management? Do you usually plan your day? Have you ever thought that you do not have enough time in a day? What do you think about the video "Philosophy of time management"?

I have encountered a bunch of people that say they can’t draw. A lot of them thinks that you must be talented in order to be able to so. Other say that it takes a lot of practice. To be frank, those people have a point, it is impossible to just take a pen and draw a masterpiece without experience. But what if I tell you, that all of us can draw? I highly encourage you to take a pen, a piece of paper and have a look at the video. And now for some questions: Did you think that you could draw before watching the video? Has the video changed your point of view? Do you believe that drawing can be a useful skill to have? Why or why not? What do you think about the final message of the video?

Virtual Reality is not a new technology, like most people believe it to be. First take on VR dates back to 20 th century, although, it was completely different from what we have now. Today, we have Virtual Reality googles, that can fool our minds into thinking, that what we see in front of us is real. Modern VR headsets started being developed in 2010, and the first one was the prototype of Oculus Rift made by Palmer Luckey. Two years later, in 2012 he started a Kickstarter campaign, and raised $2.4 million to help with the development of the headset. In 2014, Oculus has been bought by Facebook, and other companies, including Sony, Google and Samsung, announced that they are working on their own headsets. The general public had to wait until 2016 for the release of the first VR Headsets.

To be as productive as possible, there is no need to keep up with it - it is enough to complete the three most important things every day. Chris Bailey,   author of My Productive Year, formulated Rule of Three as follows: "At the beginning of each day, before you get started, decide what three tasks you want to complete by the end of the day." Often we evaluate our productivity based on the number of cases done. She/he did a lot - good, did a little - bad. At the same time, we forget that these cases may have different meanings. What is the use if you have done nine of the ten planned, but the tenth was the most important? Productivity is not the number of checkmarks proudly put on the to-do list, but several correctly selected and completed important tasks, on which the success of your business depends to the greatest extent.                           https://www.artofmanliness.com/articles/...
