Dutch city - Amsterdam

-

In short of Amsterdam

It is the most popular city in the Netherlands located in the west of the country. Even though Amsterdam is the capital, the government and parliament are settled in another city, The Hague.


Perfect place for cyclist

Amsterdam is a well-known city of cycling. There are dreamy conditions for riding bikes. The city has a flat surface and also the cycling's infrastructure is very expanded. That's why when you are in Amsterdam it is usual to see a lot of people using bikes instead of cars and public transport.


Country of many names

The official name of Dutch nation is Kingdom of the Low Countries. In short English version, it is known as the Kingdom of the Netherlands or just The Netherlands. However, the name Holland is the most popular name for this state, which is surprisingly the wrong term. Holland is only the west southern region of the Netherlands but it is often using when someone mentions whole nation.

Recently I watched a very interesting talk of Graham Hill who introduces himself as a weekday vegetarian which obviously means that he eliminates meat from his diet from Monday to Friday. This is a great way to reduce the percentage of killed animals and decrease the risk of many diseases. He talks about a common stereotype which presumes that you can be either a vegetarian or a meat eater. In fact, you can just reduce eating meat as he does, if you are not ready to go off with it yet. a culprit The police officer caught a culprit red-handed. sustainably This firm promotes a lifestyle without damage to the environment and presents the way how to live sustainably. to lessen Being a vegetarian lessens the risk of getting sick. https://www.ted.com/talks/graham_hill_weekday_vegetarian

Today I watched an incredibly interesting and inspiring talk of Tim Urban, who talks about pushing off every task that needs to be accomplished by some deadline. He introduces two types of the brain depending on a person - procrastinator or non-procrastinator. In a funny way, he shows how easily we try to postpone every job we are supposed to do by doing every other activity instead of this one. Finally, he presents a "Life Calendar" wanting us to think about what we are procrastinating on, especially when everybody has a deadline. To be honest that was probably the best TEDTalk I have ever seen so I encourage you to give up 15 minutes and watch it! It's worth it! To perplex The teacher gave two tricky answers to  perplex  the students. A dread She overcame her  dread of heights and went bungee jumping. To watch over She was calm because she felt like her guardian angel watched over her.  https://www.ted.com/talks/tim_urban_insi...

Today I watched a video which shows what happens in our body when we swallow the gum. As much as food by chewing is breaking into smaller pieces, gum's form is not changing at all. Still, the muscles of our digestive track remove it in a day or two with other food that cannot be fully digested. However, too many gums can cause damage to health. It automatically clogs the intestines triggering stomachache or constipation. intact She had an accident but happily, her spinal cord was intact . fish out She was looking for her diary in her bag and finally  fished out  it. spit Footballers often spit  on the pitch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_1sVri3b2w
