Week 12 [12-18.06.2017] Sailing

Sailing
Have you ever tried to sail? Maybe you want to try? I’m 23 and I’ve never do that untill integration trip of our company. It was three days of incredible fun and experiences. But let’s start from the beginning. There were about 50 people so we had 9 yachts (about 5/6 people on the boat). We’ve set off from Giżycko and finished in Trygort. Everyday we were getting up about 9-10 a.m (it was so hard to wake up after great party in the port), swimming all day long and after 8-9 hours later we were returning  to the port to have a party. After this trip I’ve enrolled on the course to make a yacht skipper patent. I’ve learned at lot about yacht types, native rules, weather, etc. There are many kinds of yachts and I want to describe some of them.

The first I’ve ever sailed on was Sigma 600


It’s really small and so fast yacht. Sigma was invented and created  first time in 2011 and it’s became one of the most popular in 6 years. It has 6 meters long and about 8 meters long mast. In my opinion it’s the best boat for everyone who doesn’t pay attention to comfort details and just want to have great fun, because there is no any place to sleep or even cabin, just board and tackle.


The second proposition is Tango


This is a big brother of Sigma 600 and it’s kind of yachts that have approximately 12 metres long and have cabin with beds, little kitchen and table. The cabin can be occupied by 8 to 12 people but it depends on size of boat. Trust me, it’s really comfortable place to live :D.
There are lot of other types of yachts but those are most popular in my opinion. It’s important those yachts are designed to sail on lakes only.

Questions:
Have you ever tried to sail? If yes – how do you like it?
If you had to choose, what kind of yacht would you try at first?

Week 3 [23-29.10.17] Clones of NES around the world

I ’m sure everyone of you heard about Pegasus (Gra telewizyjna) console. I’m also pretty sure majority of you heard about NES and know very well that Pegasus is in fact NES clone (well, actually it’s Famicom but let’s not get into details) distributed by Hoop Cola guys. But do you actually know how many clones NES had in the past? Well, neither do I but I’ll try to present you some of the most popular clones around the world (excluding China no-names you can buy on Aliexpress even now). Short note for people born in previous age: NES is video game console released in 1983 in Japan and 2-3 years later in EU and US. By many it’s considered the best video console of all time. Pegasus Now, let’s get back to the topic. Of course, the first position in my list is Pegasus I mentioned before. Our precious Pegasus It hit the market in the early 90’s thanks to Dariusz Wojdyga and Marek Jutkiewicz, who are currently on list of 100 richest people of Poland. It was dist...

Week 4 [04.11-10.11.19] Dark matter

If you don't live in a big city in Poland, you can observe many stars at night. Did you ever wonder how would look our sky in the next millions of years if we would count only on existing proven astrophysical theories and calculations? It would be absolutely empty. All  celestial bodies  in the galaxy are rotating around the biggest black hole in the middle of galaxy (in Milky Way this black hole is 6.4  billion times heavier than our sun)  with such speed that the gravity generated by galaxy’s observable matter could not possibly hold them together. This leads us to  conviction   that something we cannot see is at work and is giving galaxies extra mass, generating the extra gravity that galaxies need to stay intact. Something, that will ensure us that our sky will remain the same as it was a million years ago. The official name of this strange and unknown matter is the “dark matter”. Unlike normal matter, dark matter does not interact with the electroma...

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

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...
