SlideSpeech: New Year Celebrations in Poland_B

I am so proud of this.
New Year's Day and New Year’s Eve, known in Poland as Sylwester (St Silvester's Day), marks the start of the carnival period, which features celebratory events like balls and parties. A fun tradition that has been popular for centuries is the kulig (sleigh rides). Many people in Poland celebrate New Year’s Day with dances, concerts, and meals featuring traditional Polish dishes including bigos (hunter’s stew).

Michael Bublé | White Christmas


What are you dreaming of?

I'm dreaming of a White Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow

I'm dreaming of a White Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
"May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white"

(I'm dreaming of a White Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow)

(I'm dreaming of a White Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
"May your days be merry and bright")

"And may all your Christmases be white"

Stand By Me | Playing For Change | Song Around the World




While walking down the street in Santa Monica, CA, the Playing For Change crew heard Roger Ridley singing “Stand By Me” from a block away.  His voice, soul and passion set us on a journey around the world to add other musicians to his performance.

This song transformed Playing For Change from a small group of individuals into a global movement for peace and understanding.

This track features over 35 musicians collaborating from all over the world; they may have never met in person, but in this case, the music does the talking.
I love this music....

A Better Place | Playing For Change




Playing for Change is a multimedia music project, created by the American producer and sound engineer Mark Johnson with his Timeless Media Group, that seeks to inspire, connect, and bring peace to the world through music. Playing For Change also created a separate non-profit organization called the Playing For Change Foundation, which builds music schools for children around the world.

In 2005, Mark Johnson was walking in Santa Monica, California, when he heard the voice of Roger Ridley (now deceased) singing “Stand By Me.”  Roger had so much soul and conviction in his voice, and Mark approached him about performing “Stand By Me” as a Song Around The World. Roger agreed, and when Mark returned with recording equipment and cameras he asked Roger, “With a voice like yours, why are you singing on the streets?” Roger replied, “Man I’m in the Joy business, I come out to be with the people.” Ever since that day, the Playing For Change crew has traveled the world recording and filming musicians, creating Songs Around The World, and building a global family.

Prince, Tom Petty, Steve Winwood, Jeff Lynne and others -- "While My Gui...



I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps
I look at the floor and I see it needs sweeping
Still my guitar gently weeps

I don't know why nobody told you how to unfold your love
I don't know how someone controlled you
They bought and sold you.

I look at the world and I notice it's turning
While my guitar gently weeps
With every mistake we must surely be learning
Still my guitar gently weeps

I don't know how you were diverted
You were perverted too
I don't know how you were inverted
No one alerted you.

I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps
Look at you all...
Still my guitar gently weeps.

Amy Winehouse - Me & Mr. Jones - Live HD




Nobody stands in between me and my man
It's me and Mr. Jones (Me and Mr. Jones)

What kind of fuckery is this?
You made me miss the Slick Rick gig (oh Slick Rick)
You thought I didn't love you when I did (when I did)
Can't believe you played me out like that (ahhh)

No, you ain't worth guest list
Plus one of all them girls you kiss (all them girls)
You can't keep lying to yourself like this (to yourself)
Can't believe you played yourself (out) like this

Rulers one thing but come Brixton
Nobody stands in between me and my man
'Cause it's me and Mr. Jones (Me and Mr. Jones)

What kind of fuckery are we?
Nowadays you don't mean dick to me (dick to me)
I might let you make it up to me (make it up)
Who's playing Saturday?

What kind of fuckery are you?
Side from Sammy you're my best black Jew (best black Jew)
But I could swear that we were through (we were through)
I still want to wonder 'bout the things you do

Mr Destiny 9 and 14
Nobody stands in between me and my man
'Cause it's me and Mr. Jones (me and Mr. Jones)

Czym jest kremacja


Kremacja według Słownika Języka Polskiego to "palenie zwłok ludzkich, jako obrządek pogrzebowy".
Kremacja jest jednym z rodzajów pochówku zmarłego, polegającym na bezdymnym i bezzapachowym spaleniu ciała, w urządzeniu służącym do spopielania ciała ludzkiego (w piecu kremacyjnym). Kremacja to jeden z możliwych w Polsce sposobów na pochowanie zmarłego. W odróżnieniu od tradycyjnego złożenia ciała w trumnie do grobu, tu następuje pochowanie urny z prochami, które pozostały z procesu kremacyjnego.Proces spopielenia odbywa się najczęściej w trumnie kremacyjnej pozbawionej warstw farby i lakieru, ozdób i uchwytów. Jest on przeprowadzany w specjalnym piecu kremacyjnym. Kremacja odbywa się w temperaturze 750-1200 °C. Spalanie trwa ponad godzinę. Prócz popiołów wydziela się woda i dwutlenek węgla. Krematorium (łac. cremo = 'palę' cremare – spalić) – budynek, w którym przeprowadza się pośmiertne spalenie (kremację) zwłok przed pochówkiem.
Przebieg kremacji w szwedzkich piecach kremacyjnych (m.in. na podstawie strony firmy TABO)
W szwedzkim piecu kremacyjnym (TABO Incinerator AB) zainstalowanym, między innymi, we wrocławskiej spopielarni każda kremacja jest przeprowadzana oddzielnie. Procesem steruje komputer PLC, którego zadaniem jest takie przeprowadzenie procesu kremacji, aby był on nieszkodliwy dla środowiska naturalnego, bezpieczny dla operatorów oraz sprawny pod względem energetycznym i czasowym.
Obecnie wszyscy producenci urządzeń kremacyjnych korzystają z zastosowanego jeszcze w XIX w. patentu generatora cieplnego. Współczesne piece spełniają bardzo surowe wymagania unijnych norm ochrony środowiska dotyczące emisji dwutlenku siarki, tlenków azotu i węgla, metali, dioksyn, bifenyli oraz rtęci.
Szczątki pozostałe po kremacji są pulweryzowane w odpowiednim urządzeniu – zwanym w technologii TABO – kremulatorem, dzięki czemu do urny wsypywany jest jednolity drobny pył. Średnio po kremacji dorosłego człowieka, w zależności od wagi i płci, pozostaje od 3 do 5 litrów prochów.
