This is a well-known fact that these days e-learning has been more and more popular way to learn foreign languages. Many claim that it is a positive phenomenon, while others say, it has many disadvantages. Advantages First of all, e-learning is the best way of learning for people who do not have enough time for going to school. You can learn whenever you want to, at any time of the day. You can have a break, for example for a meal, you don’t have to sit in front of the computer for one and a half hour as in the classroom. You can save your time and use it for other useful things. It is the best way for people who work, who have got inflexible working hours. They do not need to take some time off from work, especially for their classes. Another advantage is it that you can learn more than in a classroom, because on a platform you get plenty of exercises weekly, more than during traditional lessons. Disadvantages There are plenty of disadvantag

Folk medicine – different types of natural medicine People have been using natural medicine since their first steps. There were always some curious group trying to discover the way how to heal on their own. They were invariably high in the social pyramid next to the king. Nowadays we hardly practice an acient medicine. However our grandmothers still remember how the past generations helped their neighbours by using natural components. Every culture has own natural medicine. For centuries people have discovered new and different ways how to help. The method of cure depends on available components and geographical location.  Let’s focus on some examples: 1. The Ebers Papyrus from Egypt – this ancient text includes many interesting recipes. Like this one: - If they had asthma they made an inhalation of steaming herbs. - For contraception they used wool which was soaked in a paste of dates, acacia and honey. - Marvellous cure for death was half the onion and beer foam.

There are numerous of medical myths. I would like to present you five of them. 1. A hot tea with lemon is a good cold remedy. We all know that vitamin C is good for our immune system. Of course lemons and other citrus fruits contain this vitamin (but not so large amounts as we believe...). We like drinking hot tea with lemon during cold because we think it's a good remedy for it. But we should remember that high temperature destroys vitamin C. 2. Pregnant women should eat for two. Something for moms-to-be. :) It is a very common situation when you are pregnant and your mother or your friend tells you that you should eat more because of a baby. Don't listen to them! The truth is that you need only about 300 – 400 extra calories. Not so much, right? You must be also on a healthy, balanced diet because in fact, you need more certain nutrients. Eating five burgers and two boxes of ice cream per day can cause an obesity or Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM)

When diet is wrong medicine is of no use. When diet is correct medicine is of no need. ~Ayurvedic Proverb We don't care what we eat. We live in a hurry, always going somewhere. There is no time to sit and think if the thing that we are going to consume is good for our health. If we are not able to see the results of this lifestyle now, it can be crucial to our future life. And we are not talking only about obesity. Even though we won't be eating food that is good for us all the time, there are some products that have a great influence on our health – especially some included substances. Here are some of them: Polyphenols Sounds evil? But these are one of the greatest substances that food can contain. They are present mainly in some plants. Why are they so good for us? Here are the beneficial properties of polyphenols: ● great antioxidants ● they lower the

Some definitions: George Murdock's definition (over 50 ago) - "The family is a social group characterized by common residence, economic cooperation, and reproduction. It includes adults of both sexes, at least two of whom maintain a socially approved sexual relationship, and one or more children, own or adopted, of the sexually cohabiting adults." Popenoe's  definition – “the minimum number constituting a family is one adult and one dependent person, the parents do not have to be of both sexes, and the couple does not have to be married. The functions of the family are procreation and socialization of children, sexual regulation, economic cooperation, and provision of care, affection and companionship.” Nuclear family: wife/mother + husband/father + their children. The one-parent family: one parent (divorced/unmarried parent) + children. Extended familiy : at least three generations: the grandparents, the wife/mother, husband/father, chil

I'm sure we all watched cartoons when we were kids. When I was little I loved to watch them. Every day I waited for 7pm, when were the best cartoons on television. Below are my favorites, to which I have sentiment and I still like to watch them. The Smurfs is about colony of small blue creatures that live in mushroom-shaped houses in the forest. There are more than one hundred Smurfs, whose names are based on adjectives that emphasize their characteristics, e.g. "Jokey Smurf", who likes to play practical jokes on his fellow smurfs, "Clumsy Smurf", who has a habit of creating havoc unintentionally, and "Smurfette"—the first female Smurf. Disney's Adventures of the Gummi Bears is about Gummi Bears - a fictional group of bears who have a long and rich history, and are relatively unknown to the humans of the world who believe that they are legends and fairy tales. The Gummi-Glen Gummis (Gruffi, Zummi, Grammi, Tummi, Sunni, Cubbi, August) are

Back in the days, when I've been graduating from primary school and i was becoming a student of high school, I was constantly hearing about how unreal and impossible is to look like celebrities from tv spots or billboards. But then i met people, people who have shown me that the truth is totally different, all these ancient statues of warriors are not just a figment of imagination, there were people who actually had those muscles shaped so well. Of course our goal shouldn't be to look like one of these golden champions, but to be more agile and stronger than day before and believe me it is not that hard as you probably think, you just need a bit of the motivation. For me the hardest part was to begin, after some time of exercises i realised that I don't think about this as of the harsh duty but a pleasure. Stories about endorphin are real, it gives you an extra boost during the day. Of course if it happens to you that you work out once a week the muscle sores will ki
