Poland and Polish life in the 1930's. Film 46138

The daily life of Polish children, 1930's.

Intertitles introducing the subject of the film - and also claiming that the Poles have been subjected to tyranny by Germans and Russians in the past. Shot of a farm, ducks, women carrying hay on their backs. Partisanly-written intertitles noting how the education that American youngsters receive is far superior than the one that the Polish youth receives. The two women continue their journey. The following intertitles admit, however, that between the ages of twelve and fifteen, American and Polish youngsters can be considered equal in brighteness and achievements. Three Polish boys smile to the camera - they seem to be younger than the ages previously mentioned, though. Shot of the bigger family, but only the men - two young boys, two adolescents and their father. To the great surprise of the filmmaker, the 12-year-old boys that he met knew all about Washington, Lincoln, and Woodrow Wilson - who they named as the world's greatest man. Two boys are leaving for school, while their mother is drawing water from a well. In the next intertitles, the filmmaker talks about his personal experience in Poland, which he admits that he loves and admires, despite the fact that him and his crew were arrested near Warsaw for making pictures. A little girl and her brother look at the camera; she tries to take her brother's hat off, then a close up of her, then they both leave together hand by hand. More shots of cute little girls. The girls are helping their mothers in their daily tasks. After work is finished, they play together. The girls are very helpful in beating chaff from flax, as the next intertitle notes. We are then being presented with shots of them doing exactly that. The girls are also tending the flock of geese that the family owns. A Polish student looking at the camera and then walking towards it - he's in the centre of a big city, probably in Warsaw, considering what we found out earlier. The following intertitle informs us about the significant Jewish population in Poland; the children are wearing the same clothes as the elders and they have inherited their business insticts. Two Jewish boys counting money. Older Polish boys till the soil, while the younger herd the cattle. The cattle are being taken back in the farm. Shot of a family, while the previous intertitle mentioned the fact that 99 percent of Polish are Catholics. Close up of the daughter. She's carrying her shoes in her hands, as she's going to wear them only when the family arrives at the town's church. More shots of little girls and boys. A little girl draws water from the well. Polish children are always happy to help their parents with the daily tasks, according to the intertitle. In return, they get to have their own pets; a girl pets her pony. They also have some free time to gather flowers. The following intertitle notes that the Poles are the finest looking Slavic race. Shot of a young woman and a girl sitting next to a river. Close ups of little boys; one has collected mushrooms, others just look at the camera, while the last one starts crying after drinking something unpleasant.

Hurtigruten Nordstjernen Cruise Ship Tour - Hurtigruten's Cruises

English Captions Available!!!

MS Nordstjernen (Norwegian: The North Star) is a vessel developed in Hamburg, Germany in 1956, and utilized on the Hurtigruten beach front administration until 2012. It was the most established operational boat in the Hurtigruten armada at the season of its withdrawal, and is the boat with the longest history of Hurtigruten administration. In 2012, she was secured as a national legacy in Norway.

Nordstjernen was fundamentally utilized for the Hurtigruten beach front administration and for travels to the Svalbard archipelago. She was broadly refitted in 1980. From 2010 to 2012 she worked constantly on the Hurtigruten beach front administration. In March 2012, she was pulled back from the waterfront benefit, and was supplanted by MS Finnmarken, which returned Hurtigruten administration after it was in Australia. Hurtigruten was utilizing her for Svalbard travels as a part of the mid year of 2012. In November 2012, the boat was purchased by Vestland Rederi AS. Regarding the deal, she was secured as a national legacy by the Norwegian Directorate for Cultural Heritage (Riksantikvaren). Nordstjernen's new home port is Bergen, as it was with her unique proprietor Bergen Steamship Company (Det Bergenske Dampskibsselskab, BDS). From the end of 2012 to July 2013, she experienced a broad reclamation in Gdańsk, Poland, which was financed with 2.5 million Norwegian krones by Riksantikvaren. In the wake of returning to Norway and partaking in the Fjordsteam celebration in Bergen in the primary days of August 2013, the new proprietor means to market her as an inn ship and for sanction travels. At long last she exited Gdańsk on 9 November 2013. On her way back to Norway, she ran ashore in the Karmsund strait on 11 November 2013. There was harm to the boat which was repaired at a dockyard in Ølensvåg, and toward the end of January 2014, Nordstjernen left the dockyard. In 2015 and 2016, Hurtigruten will contract the boat they once in the past claimed and work it again for Svalbard travels in summer.

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 tram (in North America streetcar or trolley) is a rail vehicle which runs on tramway tracks along public urban streets; some include segments of segregated right-of-way. The lines or networks operated by tramcars are called tramways. Historically the term electric street railways was also used in the United States. In the United States, the term tram has sometimes been used for rubber-tyred trackless trains, which are not related to the other vehicles covered in this article.
Tram vehicles are usually lighter and shorter than main line and rapid transit trains. Today, most trams use electrical power, usually fed by a pantograph sliding on an overhead line; older systems may use a trolley pole or a bow collector. In some cases by a contact shoe on a third rail is used. If necessary, they may have dual power systems—electricity in city streets, and diesel in more rural environments. Occasionally, trams also carry freight.

Trams are now commonly included in the wider term light rail, which also includes grade-separated systems. Some trams, known as tram-trains, may have segments that run on mainline railway tracks, similar to interurban systems. The differences between these modes of rail transport are often indistinct, and a given system may combine multiple features.
One of the advantages over earlier forms of transit was the low rolling resistance of metal wheels on steel rails, allowing the animals to haul a greater load for a given effort. Problems included the fact that any given animal could only work so many hours on a given day, had to be housed, groomed, fed and cared for day in and day out, and produced prodigious amounts of manure, which the streetcar company was charged with disposing of. Electric trams largely replaced animal power in the late 19th and early 20th century. Improvements in other forms of road transport ...

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.

As part of his special emphasis on the universal call to holiness, he beatified 1,340 people and canonised 483 saints, more than the combined tally of his predecessors during the preceding five centuries. By the time of his death, he had named most of the College of Cardinals, consecrated or co-consecrated a large number of the world's bishops, and ordained many priests. A key goal of John Paul's papacy was to transform and reposition the Catholic Church. His wish was to place his Church at the heart of a new religious alliance that would bring together Jews, Muslims and Christians in a great religious armada.John Paul II was the second longest-serving pope in modern history after Pope Pius IX, who served for nearly 32 years from ...
