V časti domu konečne zmizli objímky a trčiace káble.

Things babies born in 2011 will never know

Things Babies Born in 2011 Will Never Know

Huffington Post recently put up a story called You're Out: 20 Things That Became Obsolete This Decade. It's a great retrospective on the technology leaps we've made since the new century began, and it got me thinking about the difference today's technology will make in the lives of tomorrow's kids.
I've used some of their ideas and added some of my own to make the list below: Do you think kids born in 2011 will recognize any of the following?
Video tape: Starting this year, the news stories we produce here at Money Talks have all been shot, edited, and distributed to TV stations without ever being on any kind of tape. Not only that, the tape-less broadcast camera we use today offers much higher quality than anything that could have been imagined 10 years ago -- and cost less than the lens on the camera we were using previously.
Travel agents: While not dead today, this profession is one of many that's been decimated by the Internet. When it's time for their honeymoon, will those born in 2011 be able to find one?
The separation of work and home: When you're carrying an email-equipped computer in your pocket, it's not just your friends who can find you -- so can your boss. For kids born this year, the wall between office and home will be blurry indeed.
Books, magazines, and newspapers: Like video tape, words written on dead trees are on their way out. Sure, there may be books -- but for those born today, stores that exist solely to sell them will be as numerous as record stores are now.
Movie rental stores: You actually got in your car and drove someplace just to rent a movie?
Watches: Maybe as quaint jewelry, but the correct time is on your smartphone, which is pretty much always in your hand.
Paper maps: At one time these were available free at every gas station. They're practically obsolete today, and the next generation will probably have to visit a museum to find one.
Wired phones: Why would you pay $35 every month to have a phone that plugs into a wall? For those born today, this will be a silly concept.
Long distance: Thanks to the Internet, the days of paying more to talk to somebody in the next city, state, or even country are limited.
Newspaper classifieds: The days are gone when you have to buy a bunch of newsprint just to see what's for sale.
Dial-up Internet: While not everyone is on broadband, it won't be long before dial-up Internet goes the way of the plug-in phone.
Encyclopedias: Imagine a time when you had to buy expensive books that were outdated before the ink was dry. This will be a nonsense term for babies born today.
Forgotten friends: Remember when an old friend would bring up someone you went to high school with, and you'd say, "Oh yeah, I forgot about them!" The next generation will automatically be in touch with everyone they've ever known even slightly via Facebook.
Forgotten anything else: Kids born this year will never know what it was like to stand in a bar and incessantly argue the unknowable. Today the world's collective knowledge is on the computer in your pocket or purse. And since you have it with you at all times, why bother remembering anything?
The evening news: The news is on 24/7. And if you're not home to watch it, that's OK -- it's on the smartphone in your pocket.
CDs: First records, then 8-track, then cassette, then CDs -- replacing your music collection used to be an expensive pastime. Now it's cheap(er) and as close as the nearest Internet connection.
Film cameras: For the purist, perhaps, but for kids born today, the word "film" will mean nothing. In fact, even digital cameras -- both video and still -- are in danger of extinction as our pocket computers take over that function too.
Yellow and White Pages: Why in the world would you need a 10-pound book just to find someone?
Catalogs: There's no need to send me a book in the mail when I can see everything you have for sale anywhere, anytime. If you want to remind me to look at it, send me an email.
Fax machines: Can you say "scan," ".pdf" and "email?"
One picture to a frame: Such a waste of wall/counter/desk space to have a separate frame around each picture. Eight gigabytes of pictures and/or video in a digital frame encompassing every person you've ever met and everything you've ever done -- now, that's efficient. Especially compared to what we used to do: put our friends and relatives together in a room and force them to watch what we called a "slide show" or "home movies."
Wires: Wires connecting phones to walls? Wires connecting computers, TVs, stereos, and other electronics to each other? Wires connecting computers to the Internet? To kids born in 2011, that will make as much sense as an electric car trailing an extension cord.
Hand-written letters: For that matter, hand-written anything. When was the last time you wrote cursive? In fact, do you even know what the word "cursive" means? Kids born in 2011 won't -- but they'll put you to shame on a tiny keyboard.
Talking to one person at a time: Remember when it was rude to be with one person while talking to another on the phone? Kids born today will just assume that you're supposed to use texting to maintain contact with five or six other people while pretending to pay attention to the person you happen to be physically next to.
Retirement plans: Yes, Johnny, there was a time when all you had to do was work at the same place for 20 years and they'd send you a check every month for as long as you lived. In fact, some companies would even pay your medical bills, too!
Mail: What's left when you take the mail you receive today, then subtract the bills you could be paying online, the checks you could be having direct-deposited, and the junk mail you could be receiving as junk email? Answer: A bloated bureaucracy that loses billions of taxpayer dollars annually.
Commercials on TV: They're terrifically expensive, easily avoided with DVRs, and inefficiently target mass audiences. Unless somebody comes up with a way to force you to watch them -- as with video on the Internet -- who's going to pay for them?
Commercial music radio: Smartphones with music-streaming programs like Pandora are a better solution that doesn't include ads screaming between every song.
Hiding: Not long ago, if you didn't answer your home phone, that was that -- nobody knew if you were alive or dead, much less where you might be. Now your phone is not only in your pocket, it can potentially tell everyone -- including advertisers -- exactly where you are.

Že Vodnár v januári 2011
Slnko (Kozorožec) konjunkcia (Kozorožec) Mesiac (nov) (utorok) 4. 1. 2011
Venuša (Škorpión) vstupuje do znamenia Strelec (piatok) 7. 1. 2011
Merkúr (Strelec) vstupuje do znamenia Kozorožec (štvrtok) 13. 1. 2011
Mars (Kozorožec) vstupuje do znamenia Vodnár (sobota) 15. 1. 2011
Slnko (Kozorožec) opozícia (Rak) Mesiac (spln) (streda) 19. 1. 2011
Slnko (Kozorožec) vstupuje do znamenia Vodnár (štvrtok) 20. 1. 2011
Jupiter (Ryby) vstupuje do znamenia Baran (sobota) 22. 1. 2011
Saturn (Váhy) sa začína pohybovať retrográdne (utorok) 25. 1. 2011
Dobré správy sa týkajú najmä domu podvedomia. V ňom stretávame Slnko, Merkúr, Venušu, Pluto a začiatkom januára aj Mesiac. Vrcholí tým obdobie, ktoré bolo introspektívnejšie, než je to u Vás bežné. Planéty Vám pripravili chvíle symbolických návratov do minulosti, do detstva a aj do najhlbších zákutí Vašej duše. Už týždne (možno aj mesiace) rekapitulujete svoj doterajší život, rozjímate, plánujete. Je tiež možné, že víťazíte v boji s nejakou chorobou, škodlivým návykom, prípadne niekým, alebo niečím negatívnym, čo Vám v minulosti spôsobovalo problémy. Dariť sa Vám bude najmä v dňoch okolo novu 4. januára. Problematickejšie môžu byť dni okolo splnu 19. januára v dome zdravia a práce. Okolo tohoto dátumu si dajte pozor na ohrozenie zdravia, prepracovanosť, prípadne nebezpečenstvo úrazu.
22. januára prichádza významná astrologická udalosť. Šťastný Jupiter sa presunie z Rýb do Barana, kde zostane až do júna. Baran je vo Vašom osobnom horoskope prevládajúcim znamením astrologického domu komunikácie. Jupiterov šťastný vplyv sa preto sústredí na poznávanie a cestovanie. Stojíte na prahu mesiacov, ktoré prinesú skvelé možnosti vzdelávania a intenzívne kontakty s ľuďmi okolo Vás - spolužiakmi, alebo kolegami, starými priateľmi, susedmi, či súrodencami.
V druhej polovici mesiaca sa kozmická podpora postupne presúva z Kozorožca do Vodnára, prevládajúceho znamenia Vášho astrologického domu osobnosti. 15. januára sa sem sťahuje Mars, 20. januára sa pridáva Slnko a dlhodobo je v tomto dome aj Neptún. To, čo táto výrazná podpora vyvolá, je čosi ako znovuzrodenie. Všade okolo Vás sú príležitosti. Ak chcete študovať, cestovať, alebo poznávať nové krajiny a významných ľudí, potom Váš čas prichádza.
Zhrnutie:
Stále ste v zajatí záhad vlastnej psychiky, ale inventúra pomaly končí. Dozrieva rozhodnutie urobiť zo seba nového človeka.

Tekvica - po rokoch / Pumpkin - my re-invention
Trocha netradične - zaujalo ma niekoľko informácií o tekvici. Ja tomu hovorím v tejto chvíli - moje znovuobjavenie tekvice. Dedko ju piekol, jedli sme ju ako deti, a potom dlho nič. V každom prípade, chutí stále rovnako sladko. Čo ma prekvapilo viac, je skutočnosť, že obsahuje viac betakaroténu a C + E vitamínov, ako iný zelovoc. A hlavne ho nestráca. Mňam.
+++
I don´t follow all Christmas traditions all the time, and I am very glad for this habit of mine. This year I reinvented a pumpkin - my grandfather baked it, we ate it as children, and then nothing for a couple of years. Anyway - it´s taste is still really delicious, sweet (eventhought there is not so much sugar in). I am quite interested by few scientific information about this beautifull and tasty vegetables: it contains much more betacarothen and C + E vitamins than any other fruits and vegs available in this area. And which is more important, it doesn´t loose it. Yummy.
Prababičky z prazáhradTekvice sú prastaré rastliny pôvodom z Ameriky (ich semená sa tu našli pri rôznych archeologických vykopávkach), ktoré asi už odnepamäti súviseli s človekom a jeho obhospodarovaním pôdy – Indiáni v strednej a južnej Amerike zužitkovali v kuchyni ich plody, listy aj semená, z tekvíc vyrábali aj nádoby, hudobné nástroje a ďalšie predmety. Plody tekvíc nás dodnes uchvacujú rôznosťou tvarov, farieb aj veľkostí. Niektoré sa zmestia do dlane, iné človek ani neunesie, podľa druhu vážia od niekoľkých gramov po desiatky kilogramov (kultivar Atlantic Giant môže mať plody s hmotnosťou až 500 kg).
Môžu byť rebrovité, zvlnené alebo s výrastkami, môžu mať tvar gule, turbanu či hrušky, bývajú rozlične sfarbené, pruhované aj škvrnité, nájdu sa medzi nimi nádherné oranžové, červené či žlté, ale aj zaujímavé zeleno-biele plody (napríklad kultivar „Sweet Dumpling“)... Sýta oranžová farba je typická napríklad pre obľúbený kultivar „Hokkaido“, ktorý má široké využitie v kuchyni a je vyhľadávaný pre pozitívne účinky na zdravie. Plody vážia 2 až 3 kg a obsahujú vraj viac betakaroténu než mrkva. Okrem toho sú bohaté na vitamíny C a E, pričom je zaujímavé, že skladovaním v nich obsah vitamínov narastá. Jedlá od výmyslu sveta sa dajú pripraviť aj z ďalších druhov tekvíc, len menšie okrasné plody nie sú vhodné na konzumáciu, pretože ich dužina je horká.
Veľmi zdravé sú aj tekvicové semienka – obsahujú celú škálu prospešných vitamínov, minerálov a biologicky aktívnych látok, dodávajú energiu a zasýtia rovnako ako čokoládové tyčinky, len s tým rozdielom, že sú pre telo prospešnejšie.
