polskie dinozaury / polish dinosaurs Starachowice

Wystawa w zamkniętej hali dinozaurów oraz innych prehistorycznych gadów i płazów, które żyły i stąpały po polskiej ziemi. Zwierzęta zrekonstruowano na podstawie szczątków kopalnych znalezionych w rejonie Gór Świętokrzyskich. Wystawa jest nastrojowa, przygaszone światła a w tle domniemane porykiwania kopalnych zwierząt. Wygląd i rozmiary odtworzone zgodnie z odkrytymi skamielinami a nie jak w parkach rozrywki gdzie są dowolne. Warto tę wystawę zobaczyć w Muzeum Przyrody i Techniki w Starachowicach.

An exhibition in a closed hall of dinosaurs and other prehistoric reptiles and amphibians that lived and walked on Polish soil. The animals were reconstructed on the basis of fossil remains found in the Świętokrzyskie Mountains. The exhibition is moody, dim lights and in the background the alleged fumigation of fossil animals. Appearance and size reproduced in accordance with discovered fossils and not as in theme parks where they are any. It is worth seeing this exhibition at the Museum of Nature and Technology in Starachowice.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written
language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.

Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain

Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through
audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio
while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using
a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
A popemobile (from pope and automobile) is a specially designed motor vehicle used by the Roman Catholic Pope during public appearances. It is usually considered as the successor to the antiquated sedia gestatoria and was designed to allow the pope to be more visible when greeting large crowds.
There have been many different designs for popemobiles since Pope Paul VI first used a modified Lincoln Continental to greet crowds in New York City in 1965. Some are open air while others have bulletproof glass walls to enclose the pope (deemed necessary after the 1981 Pope John Paul II assassination attempt). Some allow the pope to sit, while others are designed to accommodate him standing. The variety of popemobiles allows the Roman Curia to select an appropriate one for each usage depending upon the level of security needed, distance, speed of travel, and the pope's preferences.
The vehicle registration plates of Vatican City all begin with the letters SCV, abbreviation of the Latin Status Civitatis Vaticanae (Vatican City State), followed by the vehicle fleet number. The registration plate for the Ford Focus currently used by Pope Francis is SCV 00919. In the past, the popemobile has typically used registration plate SCV 1, but plates SCV 2 to SCV 9 have also been used.
