Book Inkheart

Meggie, a twelve-year old book lover has spent her childhood with her father Mo, an expert earning his living traveling the countryside repairing and caring for books. A hidden past of trouble shows up outside of their windows one night in the form of a man named Dustfinger, a man who we are to soon find out, is not of this world. You see Mo has a hidden talent where, if he reads a story aloud, he can actually bring characters to life out of the book, Dustfinger being one of them, stolen unhappily from the world he had always known.
Not only does this create problems for the displaced Dustfinger, a kindly fire-eater/juggler who misses the fairies and trolls he had once befriended, but in place of stealing one character from the book, something from Mo’s world is sucked in…his loving wife. To make things even worse, not only was Dustfinger brought to life, but also the villainous Capricorn, a man so evil his heart was said to be made of ink. (Get it ink heart—Inkheart. Just making sure you are still with me.) Capricorn becomes obsessed with Mo’s power and chases him down to use it for evil not good ...

THE SMALLEST PEOPLE IN THE WORLD - Pygmies

Pygmies live in huts made ​​of four rods of wood covered with banana leaves. All cottages have the same equipment: three stones, a pot and a spoon to mix.  Pygmies are divided into three groups:
• Mbuti (in the east)
• Twa Bing (Central African Republic)
• Baka Pygmies (Gabon and Cameroon).

Hunting is the most important job Pygmies, not only from the need to obtain food, but also because of the symbolic and traditional craftsman importance of this activity. The best hunters are highly respected in society, especially when they are good at hunting of large animals such as elephants.


Women are, for example, weaving baskets. Their product using plant fibers. Kneading is also musical instruments, weapons, cooking utensils and clothes collection and bark.

THE WORD OF THE WEEK

Honorificabilitudinitatibus as the word of the week ! ! ! 


This word has 27 letters which appears in Love’s Labour’s Lost, Act V, Scene I, which means “invincible glorious” or “Honorableness.” This word was spoken by Costard in Shakespeare’s plays:


O, they have lived long on the alms-basket of words.
I marvel thy master hath not eaten thee for a word;
for thou art not so long by the head as
honorificabilitudinitatibus: thou art easier
swallowed than a flap-dragon.

Top 3 most dangerous animals in the world

Hi !
In this post I'm going to tell you about Top 5 most dangerous animals in the world !


In my opinion the 3th place should be taken by Lion.

Lion-The powerful fangs, sharp claws and extremely fast. Lion run from 150 to 250 kg made ​​up them  perfect hunter. As a cat, lion likes to sleep a lot ,basking in the sun or in the grass. But when he moved into attack , you had better stay as far as possible. Tourists very often play a sort of gamest like "Who will come closer" or "Who will touch his mane"  it sometimes ends tragedy ... Somethimes there are also attacks on people, but still it is still a rare thing.



2nd place

Great white shark-They sense even a few molecules of blood in a million molecules of water, so if they are hungry, even small wound may provoke them to attack. In practice, they rarely attack humans, and if divers   behave calmly, do not run away and not provoke these big fish they can swim freely in the company of sharks, for many hours.



And the 1st place !
...

mosquito !

This little animal might not seems to be dangerous, but in fact they are !
They spread malaria, yellow fever, filariasis, dengue fever, Rift Valley fever, viral encephalitis ... have occured all over the world and are responsible for the deaths of more than two million people per year. This are the "best" result among all the animals, so just before the little bloodsuckers should feel the greatest respect.

The turn of the screw

Hi!
I have recently read a very interesting book, it's called "The Turn of the Screw" ( the Polish translation is " W kleszczach lęku"). It's about a young governess from Hapmshire who takes care of two orphaned children, Miles and Flora. The two siblings seem to be wonderful. They are always kind, polite and never do anything wrong... Well, but they only seem to be so perfect.
The governess soon finds out that the children still maintain the bounds of friendship with their former governess and servant, who are dead. She is really scared because she can see the
phantoms while the kids can only hear them. It's written by Henry James.
I think that the book is really addictive. I really enjoyed reading it.
I hope ( of course if you're interested in reading it ) that you'll like it just as much as I do.

GEORGE WASHINGTON

George Washington was born on 22th February, 1732 (or on 11th February, 1731) and he died on 14th December, 1799. He was the first President (1789–1797) of the United States of America. He was also the commander of the Continental Army during the American Revolution and one of the Founding Fathers of the United States. He was a mason too (masons are very nice people, who follow many interesting rituals etc. ;)

Some day he and his friends colonels decided to start a big revolution (jupii!!!) against ... England :(. Why? Because England was very cruel for American colonies (big taxes etc.). Many people died during the American Revolution, but Washington won.

He built a great and a strong nation - America.

HAPPY END!!!

Stoneheart



Hey, hi, hello!
I’ve found ANOTHER interesting book :). This time it’s called Stoneheart. It’s about a 12-year-old boy called George. After he gets into trouble in the museum during a school trip, he gets into trouble on the street. (yeap, on the street). He breaks a sculpture of Pterodactyl.  And this strange creature starts to hunt for him. Only he can see it. Another statue saves him from getting killed, and this time it’s Gunner, a sculpture of  World War I. However, things get more difficult than George can imagine.
