You can turn any bad day to good day! Enjoy every-day!
Sometimes we all experience 'darker' days, when everything is wrong and nothing seems to work... whatever happens we need to remember that finding joy and happiness is not that hard, we can just look around us and appreciate what we have already. And that the bad as well as positive feelings are coming solely from within us - not from environment around or anyone else. We just need to look beyond all that seems to be 'wrong', see the positive side of everything - even if it's something very bad that bothers you - think about it... there must be at least one positive in this situation, person, thing... You can turn any bad day to good day! Enjoy every-day!

It's giving us the warmth, giving the light, it makes us smile and makes us feel good. Sun gives us energy to live - like it gives the energy to plants, so they can grow. Sun gives us a lot, even when we can see only the clouds above us. I have made quite few of them already, so it is time for recipe - and I know you can this recipe 'everywhere', but I will post it as after few experiments I am now confident to say it is easy and good recipe! As I'm writing this there is another 'one' in the oven already;) - it's really better to bake your own, it makes the difference to your breakfast, lunch or any sandwich.
Before you start mixing anything - prepare oven by setting it to ~130 Celsius and once it reached the temperature - turn it off. If you using White flour only - sieve it to bowl that you will use or mixing (wholemeal flour is hard to sieve, better used as it is, so if you mixing white and wholemeal - sieve only the white one). Add all dry ingredients - salt, sugar (if it's used instead of honey), dried yeast and garlic powder. Mix all dry things roughly with tablespoon or fork. Place bowl in warm oven for 2-3 minutes so dry ingredients get same temperature, don't worry if you used plastic bowl - it will not melt, oven was on only few minutes and it's not that hot. While the bowl is there, get your 'lukewarm' water right - I'm mixing 1 part of hot water from the kettle to 2-3 parts of already boiled water that's cooled to room temperature (we've got the jug for cool boiled water). Remove bowl with dry ingredients from the oven, add olive oil (or butter), add about half of your lukewarm water and start mixing by hand. Do it using one hand, to have the other one clean when you need it:) start adding more water but not all that was left, do it in steps while you mixing to make sure you didn't put to much at once (300-310ml should be enough but I'm always ending with a little bit unused on the bottom of jug). You should get (within few minutes and some patience) a nice ball - smaller shape of bread, however if you end up with a mix which don't want to peel off easily forming a ball and it's more like a glue - just add a touch more, small handful of flour and keep mixing. On the other side - if it comes to dry, adding water will sort it. Whatever you do - you need to get a ball that will not stick any more to your hand.
Cover it (in same bowl) with a cloth damped in warm water, it's best when the cloth is stretched around the bowl and not touching the 'bread'. Back to the oven (turned off) or other warm place, where the bread will not catch any draught. After about an hour it should 'raised' enough (doubled it's size). Remove and turn on the oven, set it to 200 Celsius (for fan assisted) or 220 Celsius (conventional oven). Uncover and beat it! Yes, really. Punch it in the middle- once is enough:) dust it with a little bit of flour, so as your hands and 'peel it off' the bowl forming the shape of bread that you want, you can do it in your hands or on the table (workspace has to be dusted with flour). Prepare baking tray (flat or loaf-tin) by covering it with grease-proof(baking) paper and rubbing some oil onto it. Place you bread in the middle of warmed oven. 35 minutes for fan oven, 40-45 in normal one. You can turn the bread half way through the baking so it's evenly baked (depending on your oven). After this time it should be baked properly - remove it, place upside down on some heat resistant surface and 'knock' the bottom of bread - if it sounds to hollow it needs to be back into the oven immediately for another few minutes. If the bottom is nice and crisp too, not to soft you will know it's good. Enjoy! (after it has cooled down). This is my final assignment for this course and somehow I am a bit sad that this course is ending... - strangely, as I was not entirely happy in the beginning and I almost quit before the first assignment... But I am entirely happy that I stayed and learned so many things and 'met' so many great people, good photographers with bright future! Thank You All, thanks for tutors and mentors input, thanks to pro's who shown us 'other' sides of photography, thanks to my Wife for showing me this course, giving me very supportive feedback and helping mentally during those 4 weeks. Many Thanks to my friend Kasia (www.wilkaszlos.pl & wirikos.deviantart.com) for sending me those videos! "We" have stopped eating almost all meat some time ago - we did it by reducing it everyday, until eventually we stopped completely and I encourage everyone to do so, this video is just a confirmation of that we are doing good by removing meat from our menu. Stop meat! (stop eating meat = reducing production of meat = good for everyone) watch video(s) below. Stop meat - stop viande - stoppen Fleisch - zatrzymać mięso - smettere di carne - detener la carne - остановить мясо - přestat maso - prestať mäso - ਮੀਟ ਨੂੰ ਰੋਕਣ - να σταματήσει το κρέας - stoppen met vlees - 停止肉 - 肉を停止 - lopettaa liha - stoppe kød - stoppa kött - stoppe kjøtt - sustabdyti mėsos - parar de carne - stop vleis - зупинити м'ясо - وقف اللحوم Today in West Yorkshire we had few hours of winter, literally! Snow start coming in the morning... few hours later there was not much of it left, - 'heavy rain' has washed it away quickly... At least kids had day-off school and fun for a moment...
This is the second assignment for the online course Commercial Photography: Still and Moving Image. I am sharing this to gain more feedback. This time the guidelines were: 30 seconds of "moving image" with inclusion of sound - either recorded by camera or additional soundtrack, i.e. music. This is first time that I have "produced" video other than random recording from party or travel. Although I had some little experience in video editing it was still a bit tricky. I have used the music as a sound background for it. For the purpose of photography course that I'm doing at the moment (Commercial Photography: Still and Moving Image) I had to create something new for me - a cinemagraph, which is quite new form of art - a still image containing moving part. "(...)Cinemagraphs are made by taking a series of photographs or a video recording, and, using image editing software, compositing the photographs or the video frames into a seamless loop of sequential frames." - source Wikipedia. 'Failure is part of the process of success...' - Porażka jest częścią sposobu na sukces...21/2/2016 Edison (light bulb founder) has took about 10,000 "unsuccessful" attempts before he found the way that the light bulb we know and use until now work. And he said: "I have not failed. I've just found 10000 ways that will not work." --- PL: Edison (wynalazca żarówki) podjął około 10,000 "nieudanych" prób zanim udało mu się znaleźć sposób na to, żeby żarówka jaką znamy i używamy do dziś zadziałała. Powiedział: "To nie tak, że mi się nie udało. Udało mi się znaleźć 10000 sposobów, które nie zadziałają." "You see, if you treat every failure as a learning experience, then you’ll end up a winner." - Bob Proctor. “Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit.” - Napoleon Hill “Winners are not afraid of losing. But losers are. Failure is part of the process of success. People who avoid failure also avoid success.” - Robert T. Kiyosaki Beware of TOXIC aluminium in antiperspirants - Uwaga na szkodliwe aluminium w antyperspirantach!19/2/2016 Many sources are saying that is not true (including wikipedia!), but scientific research and information in quite a few books claims that aluminium derivatives are actually toxic to our body (and lead by intuition I also think it is true). Some time ago I have purchased next, yet another deodorant (antiperspirant, as normal deodorants do not contain aluminium) claiming bravely it is of course the best... Already at home (unfortunately not before bought) I have glanced at ingredients section and to my surprise there was a word Aluminium there... So I have done my research, knowing already that aluminium in many other forms is generally not good for human beings. The research did not took to long and proven my intuition to be correct. Aluminium is blocking pores - therefore stopping us sweating, its absorption to body can lead to many health problems. Please don't think that if 'THE INTERNET' says its not true then we can believe it's not - I have found aluminium in EVERY single antiperspirant available now made by BIG companies (such as Henkel, Unilever, Garnier and more) - they will do everything to convince you that it is good for you. Please see links below to explain more, see my pictures with highlighted aluminium in antiperspirant ingredients. http://www.naturalnews.com/027624_deodorant_aluminum.html# http://www.globalhealingcenter.com/natural-health/aluminum-and-breast-cancer/ Wiele źródeł (łącznie z wikipedią) podaje, że to nieprawda a jednak badania naukowe i kilka książek o zdrowiu potwierdza, że związki aluminium są szkodliwe dla naszego ciała i organizmu. Intuicja kazała mi spojrzeć na listę składników po zakupie kolejnego "najlepszego" dezodorantu (antyperspirantu, bo normalne dezodoranty nie zawierają aluminium). Okazuje się, że każdy dostępny teraz na rynku antyperspirant zawiera właśnie aluminium. Blokuje ono pory, przez co nie pocimy się = zatrzymujemy toksyny wewnątrz ciała, gdyż pocenie się to naturalna reakcja, która jest nam potrzebna. Nie dajcie się zwieść artykułom, że to nieprawda - że aluminium to nic złego, unikajcie miejsc jak http://www.kosmopedia.org/ (celowo nie podlinkowuję) - oni tam zaprzeczają sami sobie w tym co piszą o związkach aluminium w kosmetykach, podtrzymując jednocześnie że nie są one groźne dla organizmu, a w ich 'encyklopedii' istnieje tylko opis aluminium fluoride (z pasty do zębów) i zagęstnik ze słowem 'aluminum' w nazwie, chyba ktoś im płaci za posiadanie/nie posiadanie pewnych informacji...;p
Tak czy inaczej zapraszam do poczytania linków: http://ekotarg.pl/artykul/wybieram_zdrowe_kosmetyki._cz_iv-_bez_aluminium,243 http://www.czystekosmetyki.pl/sole-aluminium-w-kosmetykach.html http://faktydlazdrowia.pl/aluminium-w-kosmetykach-badz-swiadomy-zagrozenia/ Lovely meal by my wife, this time - prawns!
