News / Poland Parliament elections in October 2011 [944]


I saw all three stooges: Cymański, Ziobro, Kurski in one of those Christian programs yesterday. All of them were repeating the some mantra, which they have been doing in the last week or so: sliding into Kaczynski's back hole with apologies, yet defending their own past actions. In my previous post I was laughing at Kurski's "God-Banner-Fatherland-Leader" style, because this is where people of the very little moral backbone excel in. God save Poland if these little minnows would ever take hold of power.

Some of you may not recognize the signs, but I see them very clearly - they are all the same over the generations. People like Jerzy Lec wrote poems in 1939 glorifying Joseph Stalin, and Kurski's style is no different than Lec's. Only the addressee - the person who has been an "Engineer driving forward the locomotive of history" changes. Think about it - this is not about people leaning left or right - this about careerists, or even worse. So no, if you are looking for good opposition to TUSKU regime think further and deeper than all those three stooges plus Kaczyński.

Commented excerpts from the yesterday's live interview with Jacek Kurski
"We are not creating any new party. We love Law and Justice. We are the very salt of the PiS."


- Mt 5:13-14

"We paid a high price indeed for the cause of our Party. They have been dragging us to courts and continue sentencing us to tens of thousands zł apologies as a result of unjust convictions for being faithful to the cause."

"We have been caring winning election campaigns for the party. We have been holding hundreds of meetings in the field - carrying high the PiS banner. We have never softened. We have been sweating our guts out for the cause. We have been walking upright among those who were down on their knees. "


- Warszawianka (1905)

"We are the most recognizable faces in PiS, after Kaczyński. "
"In addition, Zbigniew Ziobro is the only politician of Law and Justice, who regularly wins individual duel with PO, even though we as the party go down. Thus, PiS is part of our lives and our identity. We are not going anywhere."

(...)

"So, to win, you must change yourself. For the sake of the Law and Justice, and under the leadership of Jarosław Kaczynski. Ot i wszystko."

But hopefully not all news from Cegielski are bad. They are getting into new specialization field now - gas heat and power plants. They recently won a 19 million zl project for a 4.5 MW co-generation block; three other such contracts for 16, 25 and 40 MW plants are being negotiated. The company works on its own gas engines - to be used in future such projects.

On the top of it they continue with bio-gas projects, and they plan to enter into wind power technology in a partnership with an undisclosed yet Asian company.

Oh, dear Ironside
Here is something that you do not understand. I have to visualize it to you. I have this little intelligent sorting machine installed on my system. When she sees something that makes no logical sense whatsoever, bordering on childish insults like this:

Confusion: being in "state of rest" vs. being "retired"

Apparently in Polish parlance "stan spoczynku" and "emerytura" are two different things. I did not know that. This puts the Święczkowski and Barski affair into a new light. And now - that's very porky.

According to a story run in "Wyborcza" (*) - during reorganization of the National Prosecutor's Office (Prokuratura Krajowa) into the General Prosecutor's Office (Prokuratura Generalna) in the year 2010 only 45 prosecutors from the old office were hired for the new one. The remaining 27 prosecutors were given options to take positions in the cities where they had been involved prior to joining the old National Prosecutor's Office. Only one of them - Andrzej Kaucz - accepted the offer and now he is an Appellate Public Prosecutor in Wrocław.

Święczkowski, the head of the ABW in the PiS Government, got a job offer in Katowice, Barski - National Prosecutor in the same period - in £odz. They rejected the offers, like the other 24 prosecutors from the disbanded National Prosecutor's Office.

The status of the National Prosecutor allows to refuse a job offer. In such case one passes into a state of rest, without losing his salary.

The effect? They will be receiving full salary, which they had at the former position (between 12 and 14 thousand zloty each), without working, until they reach the retirement age of 65 years. After that, as pensioners, they will be receiving 75 percent of this amount.

The average age within this group of 26 "state of rest" prosecutors is 40-50 years. The youngest is 39, and the oldest 69 years old.

[Many juicy details elided]

12 names from that list of 26 people are the orphans of PiS. Some of them became National Prosecutors following the elections in 2007, when Ziobro - before handing over power - gave them the "golden parachutes" in the form of positions, from which they can only be removed if they commit an offence prosecutable ex officio.

Genealogy / Kupka surname [13]

Kupa ludzi (a lot of men) here, including myself, did not bother to lookup standard dictionaries. But I know that "kupa" also means a group, "skupiać" means to gather together. In this sense it is thought to be a root of "Kupała (deity and Night" - other possible roots of "Kupała" are "to bath" or indoeuropean "kup-" "to desire". And obviously "kupka" in Polish is a diminutive of "kupa".

The word "kupa" was also used to describe irregular military units, plundering the country. The Lisowski's light riders were recruited from such "kupy swawolne". "Kupą, mości panowie!" was their battle cheer.

In Hungarian and Serbo-Croatian it means a cup, a goblet (from Italian "coppa"), in Slovene - a beaker, in Swedish - a hood, a cup (of bra).

During a press conference today the PiS Chairman dr Jarosław Kaczyński, criticized the corrective measures of European Union regarding the Greece debt and advised his own two measures instead:

- debt reduction to 65%
- a real right of Greece to return to drachma.

This far-reaching splendid plan from our leading prominent economist drew unanimous support from the Polish Internet Community:

- Dear Jarek, please come up yet with an idea of what to do with the storms on Mars. They terribly mess up with sand.

- They gave only 50%, and he contra-proposed with 65%. And now who is better?

- Jarek, mercy for Poles, give it up!

- Following the well tested joke of Pan Zagłoba, why did not you offer the Netherlands to Greece?

- Mister Chairman, we await for your assessment of the Chinese Space Program!

- Today a flying saucer was seen above the PiS headquarters.

- Now, the entire Greece wishes to have Jarosław for their prime minister! , Jaroslaw, Jaroslaw! (They would not let me use Greek letters here, but you get the sense!)

[Bending under the pressure of accusation that PiS is being constantly poked fun of, I temporarily change a tack and show a scene from the other side of Sejm. This is sort of funny too, but not as funny as any of the PiS stories, you have to admit]:

In Polish Parliament political clubs get assigned office space at the Parliament Building, proportionally to number of seats they have won during parliamentary elections. Accordingly, the SLD club was recently asked by the Chancellery to vacate the rooms it previously occupied and give them to the third place winner, RP party. But SLD, in the person of Ryszard Kalisz, defended its former turf in front of cameras and delight of media crowds.

I sense something familiar here. Wait, I get it: "Everyone is equal but some are more equal than others?" :-)

Today Arkadiusz Mularczyk was defending Ziobro but at the same time "he was not criticizing anyone," but only appealing to "younger party colleagues to reflect and to remember of the achievements of Ziobro." As I said before: PiS is fun to watch nowadays.

Life / WHY DO POLES USE ENGLISH WORDS IN CONVERSATION? [396]


Oh yes, we know enough. We know that Latin came to Poland via Bohemia, with St. Adalbert, his monks and baptism of Poland in 966. Written annals began to be generated in the late 10th century; first Polish Christian rulers were considered literate and educated. The secular annals later served as a basis for chronicles, such as Chronicle by Gallus Anonymus (around 1112-1116) or Polish Chronicles by Wincenty Kadłubek (ca 1202).

Here is a nice and short introduction to literary background during Middle Ages in Poland. The author, professor Mikos is also a renown translator from Latin and Polish and an author of several anthologies of Polish literature (in English), including "Medieval Literature of Poland".

staropolska.pl/ang/middleages/Mikos_middle/Literary_m.html
Below is a short excerpt from Chronicles of Gallus Anonymus, a part of that anthology. In this verse Poles are overjoyed after gaining access to Pomerania and Baltic Sea.



How is it relevant? But I know enough about four schools of Latin pronunciation, including the funny English way. :-)


:-) But any monk worth his own black cassock had to know the Latin phrase "Gratis accepistis, gratis date" by heart. And from there, there is just one step to vernacular Polish. Same as with other Latin phrases, like "Deo Gracias". In Catholic Poland "Niech będzie pochwalony (Jezus Chrystus)" and "Na wieki wieków. Amen" were more popular for ages than the secular "Dzieńdobry", especially at the countrysite. "Szczęść Boże" and "Bóg zapłać" are also direct translations of Latin phrases.

I checked several Polish dictionaries, and one German source, and none ever mentions English parentage in the etymology chain of the word "gratis" either in Polish or in German. They all refer directly to the Latin original word "gratiis".

So sorry, your hypothesis here is quite weak. England simply was not in a center of Poland's cultural interests during medieval times. Italy was, France was, Germany had to be, as a close neighbour. But we just traded with you in Polish grain, timber and other produce.

I followed the Jan Brożek "Gratis" document, which I previously described, and I found it interesting enough to quote a passage from an article devoted to him. As you can see, people were flogged, "Gratis" was burnt at stake. So I rest my case here. :-)

Life / WHY DO POLES USE ENGLISH WORDS IN CONVERSATION? [396]


That's what your English wikipedia says. :-)
Latin was in use in Poland since 10th century, long before any cultural contacts with England have been stablished. Why should Poles borrow anything from Middle English, having direct access to Latin? Latin was exclusively used as a written language in Poland until 16th century (see Mikołaj Rey).

There is a quote from Jesus Christ: Gratis accepistis, gratis date. - You got it for free then give it for free.

BTW, see Jan Brożek (Lat. Joannes Broscius) (1585-1652), Polish mathematician, astronomer, writer, a Polish Catholic priest, physician, musician, orator, rector of the Cracow Academy.

In 1625 he published one of the greatest of his works, "Gratis", constructed in the form of a satirical dialogue against the Jesuits, who were in conflict with the Academy of Cracow at that time. Gratis is made of four discourses. The first one is entitled:

"Gratis albo Discurs I Ziemianina z plebanem (Gratis, or Discourse Between the 1st Squire and the Vicar).

I have to support Magdalena on this. Whether we like it on on - it will pass. Polish has survived much greater onslaught than that: first Latin, and then various forms of macaronic intrusions.

"A niechaj narodowie wżdy postronni znają,

iż Polacy nie gęsi, iż swój język mają."

"Let it by all and sundry foreign nations be known

that Poles don't gabble — they have a language of their own."

Mikołaj Rej (1509-1569), the first Polish author to write exclusively in the Polish language, is saying that Poles need to break with the tradition, still current in the Renaissance, of writing in Latin—a language that reminds him of the gabbling of geese.

After Latin, came "makaronizmy" on a massive scale.


Example from "Pani Twardowska", Adam Mickiewicz. [He used it on purpose]

Twardowski ku drzwiom się kwapił
Na takie dictum acerbum,
Diabeł za kontusz ułapił:
"A gdzie jest nobile verbum?"

You should try "Pamiętniki" of Jan Chryzostom Pasek sometime. That's an eye opener!

News / The cross in Polish parliament - Does it bother you? [100]

As I see it - the Polish constitution is screwed up .. once again.Talk, talk, talk, but there is actually very little logic in it. Listen:



What on Earth is it? Could not a nation of smart logicians on the scale of Jan £ukasiewicz come up with something logical enough in the preamble to our constitution? What I see now is simply garbage put forward by some lawyers, with no philosophical or logical training. According to binary logic: One either should follow some strict Christian doctrine and be damned on the long run for its shortcomings or one should put forward some sort of an atheist doctrine. But if you want to accept some wishy-washy stuff in between, then you have to follow some wishy-washy logic. And you do not have to look around too much: here comes our own famous Jan £ukasiewicz with his perfectly designed three-valued logic (there are some other multi-logic system). The easiest one offers three choices: true, false, maybe. If Poland is not ready for it yet, that is, if Polish politicians are not prepared to discuss issues in therms of three-valued logic, then Poland should go back to the old victorian black & white binary religion, logic and justice: Christian is good, the heresies are bad. Otherwise - it is all about image, pretending to be a democratic country... Just pretending...

I am not saying that this is specifically Poland's fault. But I do not care what French do; I care for good Polish constitution.

Motto of the week: (Sorry if I have to change it more frequently than once a week. You understand, this is very tumultuous time!)
- This is not my aim of questioning his position or recalling Jarosław Kaczyński. On the contrary - I think he is the PiS chairman and he has a strong personal position.

- Zbigniew Ziobro

Here you go!!!

Yet another motto of the week:
"Prime Minister Kaczynski reminds me of the late Mr. Kazimierz Górski. Now I'm one of his eagles" - John Tomaszewski

Applied Dialectics as demonstrated by Mr. Ziobro
(Budapest) It is not the best concept in Polish reality and we cannot wait for a miracle to happen.
- Zbigniew Ziobro
…. some time later in another interview ….
We have to do everything to follow the road shown by Mr. Orban and for PiS to become a second Fidesz. This is possible if the PiS will build a broad structure. Jarosław Kaczynski has rightly resorted to the example of Budapest and he inspires us all. I believe in President Kaczynski and I want to support him.

- Zbigniew Ziobro

Here you go!!

According to Jarosław Gowin - not deputies but the Supreme Court should decide in the case of prosecutors Barski and Święczkowski, especially because a number of contradictory expertises has been voiced from the time when the marshal Schetyna expressed his opinion. - I read a few of them and ... I am not any wiser. I can see that each lawyer has his own opinion. So I am waiting for the Supreme Court decision - repeated Gowin.

- The spirit of democracy requires respect to the verdict of the voters. If their case is questionable, then these doubts should be resolved in favor of Mr. Święczkowski and Mr. Barski. If, however, the Supreme Court makes a clearly negative decision in the matter, then they, in turn, should respect this decision of the court - explained the PO MP.

Makes sense, right? Or not? Clock is ticking...

:-) He must have had a practical mind, converting a communist symbol to a religious one: Maria degli Engeli.

This invokes an old image ...
During my university days, my wife and I rented a room from a lady of hard hearing, who was also 90% blind (a war incident). Our room was facing a main street where the Corpus Christi procession passed every year. On that day all balconies around were already decorated with garlands, flowers and holly icons - only our balcony was still empty. Bending under social pressure she asked us if she could borrow a sizable image of Holly Mary, hanging in our room, and place it at the balcony. She even did not blink when we explained to her that it was a reproduction of Mona Lisa. - No one will ever notice - she answered with a cunning smile.

History / Why have Poles contributed so little to Academics? (Particularly Science) [180]


I was trying to be fair and I did it purposely. The origin of Maciej's last name could be Polish, Jewish or German. I have no desire to be checking it out, since I am not a racist or I am not convinced about superiority of one group of people or another - it does not really matter to me. But I do not like ridiculous claims and this is why I am here in this thread.

But don't you see how stupid his (AlexTheGreat) claim is? Actually the random list I presented shows that most of the authors are actually Chinese - with probability 99% that none of them is actually a hidden Jew.

If you really want to make any meaningful comparison, you have to know a bit about a subject matter, eliminate the outliners, and concentrate on those who publish the most and who are cited the most. In words - do exactly what every self-respecting scientist does in his/her spare time. :-)

Take for example Asher Peres - from Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, Haifa. He has 56 publications on ArXiv.com in Quantum Physics section, in the last 10 years. Well respected.

Then take the Horodeckis family: Michał, Paweł, Karol and Ryszard (the father) - from Gdańsk University. Altogether 168 publication at the same field, during the same period.

Karol - 19
Michał - 113
Paweł - 113
Ryszard - 59
This does not end up to 169 because they often publish together: two, three or even all four of them.

And now - surprise, surprise - go google "Peres-Horodecki criterion" - 52,100 results. Here is the wikipedia entry, if you are interested:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peres-Horodecki_criterion

Apparently, true scientists cooperate. Only arrogant trolls make all sorts of ridiculous statements, like the ones in this thread.

History / Why have Poles contributed so little to Academics? (Particularly Science) [180]

AlexTheGreat:


You are so pathetic with your ridiculous semitic claim in its purest form, which you just put forward. Let us put this to the simple test. Attached is a short list of authors of scientific papers subjected during the last three days for electronic publishing within the specific section of Quantum Physics, hosted in the e-print archive, arXiv.org , at Cornell University Library.

This works like a free-for-all publication system, since it does not require peer reviews. But it is fast, you can publish your stuff immediately and you can make claims of being the first ever to discoveries of some sort. It is the first stage to traditional publishing - many of the articles appearing here will see their light in some renown scientific magazines two or three years later in a printed form.

The e-print archive handles a huge selection of various fields: Physics, Mathematics, Nonlinear Sciences, Computer Science, Quantitative Biology, Quantitative Finance and Statistics. The Physics alone is represented by 12 chapters: Astrophysics, Condensed Matter, General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology, High Energy Physics - Experiment, High Energy Physics - Lattice, High Energy Physics - Phenomenology, High Energy Physics - Theory, Mathematical Physics, Nuclear Experiment, Nuclear Theory, Physics (proper) includes: ( Accelerator Physics; Atmospheric and Oceanic Physics; Atomic Physics; Atomic and Molecular Clusters; Biological Physics; Chemical Physics; Classical Physics; Computational Physics; Data Analysis, Statistics and Probability; Fluid Dynamics; General Physics; Geophysics; History and Philosophy of Physics; Instrumentation and Detectors; Medical Physics; Optics; Physics Education; Physics and Society; Plasma Physics; Popular Physics; Space Physics), Quantum Physics.

The list of authors that I promised comes from the section of Quantum Physics, submitted in the last three days alone: Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Now you have a chance to scan through an pin point all the Jewish names in there. Hard, isn't it? But I can easily point many other nationalities: Chinese, Japanese, German (actually I know that many of them are Austrians), Indians, Spanish/South Americans, Russian, former Yugoslavian, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Arabic of some sort... and yes, even Polish.

So what was you point about Jewish superiority in science?

Language / Help me figure out the spelling of these Polish names? [17]

Shootie Mollyoshka?
I agree with you that this sounds Russian, or generally Ruthenian. But Polish has also a diminutive word "maluszku!" or "maluśki, maluśka" - if this is what "Mollyoshka" supposes to approximate. But I have no idea what "shootie" may mean.

Maluśki, maluśki, maluśki kieby renkawicka - from a Polish Highlanders Carol


This is a long shot. Using Polish transliteration: "Szczo ty maluśka?", or "Szo ty maluśka?". This would literally mean "What you little one" (speaking to a girl). "Szczo" or "szo" would indicate either Ukrainian or Russian language, definitely not Polish.

There is however a Polish equivalent expression - "Co ty malutka". It is hard to explain its meaning, so I'll give some examples:

Co ty malutka, nie bój się, nikt nie zobaczy!
Co ty malutka, ja jestem niegroźny!
Ej, no co ty malutka, jakoś to będzie!
In all three examples there are some sexual or patronizing overtones. But it does not have to be read this way if the girl is actually a little one. It may be a sort of invitation to further conversation or a game.
