Cheating: Polish-Chinese lvl
Saturday, Mar 17, 2012 1:47AM / Members only
Long, long time ago... in high school...
for IT test
...a bit tiresome, but it was worth it! ^^
for English test
...and this "brilliant" idea to make it more chaotic like an ordinary trash ;P
The safest way of cheating ;)
(of course if your teacher doesn't know Chinese&Polish :P)

Origami technology
Sunday, Nov 13, 2011 11:54PM / Members only
I would like to present you origami technologies. Many of you may think that it is a very ridiculous idea, but I’ll try to show you that is a new way to solve technical problems.
Origami is the traditional Japanese art of paper folding, but probably it comes from China. However it is said that’s from Japan, because the Japanese developed origami to a very high art form.
OK, but you can ask what origami has in common with maths? Optimization is a part of applied mathematics. The main point of this subject is finding the best solutions for physical and economic problems. It can seem impossible to use paper toys in a practical way. But origami is not a senseless folding piece of paper, it is a process full of reasoned steps based on geometry and physical law.
Origami is more than an ancient art form. It is a deceptively simple technique of paper folding, precise weight and perfect angles that make the humble paper crane a bridge between the worlds of art and science. Engineers and scientists are adopting some of the technology of origami to build strong but elaborate equipment that can literally fold into a smaller, safer and more compact size.
Everyone remembers from childhood airplanes or boats made of paper.
Even if origami looks simple, it is also precise and scientifically based. It shares these features with mathematics. Math questions about what is possible physically can be manifested and then tested by using the angles and geometry of origami technology. With origami and math, art, design and science converge almost seamlessly.
The crossing diagonals method is based on binary divisions. It lets you make a construction for an arbitrary fraction. This method uses two creases: one of them is the diagonal of the square; the other is a crease that connects two points on opposite sides.
I'd like to present a few examples of industrial origami.The simple folds and bases that are the building blocks of Japanese origami are what engineers and physicists use to solve problems related to space, weight and materials. Solar panels and telescopes that fold into small, light units during transport and then unfold are just a few of the applications of origami technology that have appeared since the 1990s.
A very interesting example is the print-and-fold technique which allows you to create the shape you want, but with the weight taken out. This technique might be used to make, for example, lighter titanium reinforcing struts for rocket wings. That manufacturing technique could reduce the weight of these particular parts from about 1.5 pounds to a quarter pound. Instead of making a solid titanium cube, researchers could build a hollow one with much less material. The folded metal and ceramic structures should also be able to withstand extreme temperatures and heavy loads, which is important for aerospace and industrial applications.
Origami Technology allows thinner sheet material to be folded into complex, innovative structures with simple, low cost fixtures. Another benefit is that no specialized equipment is used with industrial origami. It is implemented using existing CAD (computer aided design) software. It also has the environmental benefits. Industrial origami is already used in industrial design, telecommunications and consumer electronics. It is a new way to optimize solutions by maths and origami art.
I hope you like it!

Let's go for a walk!
Wednesday, May 4, 2011 1:07AM / Members only
Beautiful sunny day... I couldn't stay at home...
But yesterday was rain... so my way was all like this...
I hope I won't have to walk back the same trail...
Can you see a duck?
...wonderful sight...
I don't know why it reminds me some of a fabulous scene...
oh! cute caterpillar :)
gosh... this trail seems to have no end... I'm tired... I'm going back...
...the same way I came here -.-
Every adventure must have something thrilling... I know you were waiting for this :P
So...when I was coming back I met 2 hunting dogs... without an owner...
They started barking and growling at me...
What are you looking at, dog? :P I'm not your snack!
I stopped and waited until they'll be bored me. One of them sniffed my flower and after this they went away.
I hope you like my story ;)
Who wants to go with me next time? ^^

How many can you see...?
Monday, Jul 26, 2010 5:33AM / Members only
How many butterflies can you count on flowers in your garden?
How many small insects can you notice in 5 minutes?
How many species of them can you name?
How many times have you seen them?
"Gdybym poprosiła, żebyś uniósł głowę
i popatrzył w niebo,
powiedziałbyś, że masz ważniejsze sprawy.
Gdybym poprosiła, żebyś się zatrzymał
i spojrzał na mrówkę,
powiedziałbyś, że się spieszysz.
Gdybym poprosiła, żebyś się schylił
i przyjrzał się pająkowi,
powiedziałbyś, że się boisz.
Gdybym poprosiła, żebyś uklęknął
i dotknął trawy,
powiedziałbyś, że się pobrudzisz.
Gdybym zapytała, czy odwiedzisz mnie,
odpowiedziałbyś, że tak,
ale nie dzisiaj…
Gdybym zapytała, czy porozmawiasz ze mną,
odpowiedziałbyś, że tak,
ale nie dzisiaj…
Gdybym zapytała, czy znajdziesz trochę czasu,
odpowiedziałbyś, że tak,
ale nie dzisiaj…
Gdybym zapytała, czy…
Gdybym zapytała o cokolwiek innego,
twoja odpowiedź zawsze brzmiałaby tak samo.
Jeżeli nie dzisiaj, to kiedy?
Jeżeli nie masz czasu, by spojrzeć w niebo,
po którym suną białe obłoki…
Jeżeli nie masz czasu, by spojrzeć na mrówkę,
która wytrwale dąży do celu…
to chcesz mieć czas dla mnie?
Dla człowieka, który potrzebuje więcej uwagi
niż mrówka czy chmura?
Dla człowieka, którego myśli i słowa
mogą cię bardziej przerazić niż malutki pająk?
Dla człowieka, który swoimi czynami
może bardziej zatruć serce twoje?
Jeżeli nie potrafisz dostrzec tego, co najmniejsze,
najmniej istotne i niepozorne…
mnie też nie dostrzeżesz…
Nie zobaczysz tego, co ważne,
co napawa mnie radością i smutkiem.
Nic nie zobaczysz…"
If you can't see all these creatures, if you don't have time to stop and look at them for the moment, how can you have time for people around you who need more attention than these small beings?266 views Share
