    The Ministry of Infrastructure reports:

    As of January 31, 2022, you will be able to keep your existing vehicle license number and temporarily withdraw your passenger car from traffic. The possibility to keep, at the owner’s request, the current registration number of the purchased vehicle and extension of the catalogue of vehicles temporarily withdrawn from traffic by passenger cars was introduced by the Act of 14 August 2020 amending the Act – the Road Traffic Law and certain other acts.

    The deadline for implementing technical solutions enabling these facilitations for drivers and vehicle owners has been set in the announcements of the minister responsible for digitization, published in the Journal of Laws:

     

    (https://www.dziennikustaw.gov.pl/DU/2021/1522 https://www.dziennikustaw.gov.pl/D2021000152101.pdf)

     

    The fee for the most commonly issued car plates is 80 PLN, by keeping the current registration number you will not have to pay it, as well as you will not have to pay the fee for the inspection sticker on the front window – in total, together with the registration fee, it will give 99.50 PLN of savings.

     

    The extension of the catalogue of temporarily withdrawn vehicles to include passenger cars will address the situation of damaged rather than temporarily unused cars. In case the car needs to be repaired (e.g., after an accident) as a result of damage to essential supporting structural elements, it will be possible to withdraw the vehicle from traffic for a period of 3 to 12 months, and not earlier than after 3 years from the date of the previous withdrawal. Reinstatement of a vehicle will involve an additional technical inspection after repair. This change will allow the owner of a repaired and temporarily out of service car to reduce the cost of vehicle insurance.

    “Eden” by Stanisław Lem has lived to see another translation. This time in Denmark

    "Eden" by Stanisław Lem has lived to see another translation. This time in Denmark
    instytutksiazki.pl

    A translation of Stanisław Lem’s Eden by Judyta Preis and Jorgen Herman Monrad has been published in Denmark. The Danish edition was supported by the Book Institute as part of the ©POLAND Translation Programme – announced Book Institute (IK) on Twitter.

    As explained, the novel “Eden” was published by Forlaget Kosmos. The edition has 304 pages.

     

    “Written in 1958, it opens an era of Lem’s mature science fiction work. So, what is it that keeps the novel-reading with unflagging interest? Certainly, the author’s extraordinary imagination which creates sensuous, rich visions of planetary nature and culture, while skillfully dispensing tension, allowing the mysteries of Eden to unveil themselves gradually, with dramatic tension,” wrote IK on its website.

     

    It was recalled that “the political ordering of the planet reminds readers of Orwell’s visions, but more important there is skepticism about the chances of getting to know each other; the very difference in the technologies used means that newcomers and locals can’t quite communicate”.

    A 1,200-year-old battle knife

    An extremely rare battle knife, most likely from Scandinavia and over 1.2 thousand years old, was discovered by accident by archaeologists in Wdecki Landscape Park (Kujawsko-Pomorskie Voivodeship).

    The discovery occurred during a search of the battlefield from April 5, 1091. As described in the Chronicle of Polish Gall Anonim, then prince Wladyslaw I Herman was to fight a battle with the Pomeranians somewhere on the river Wda, near the mysterious castle Drzu.

     

    The researchers analyzed the lay of the land, the probable course of ancient routes and selected the area around Gródek for archaeological research, where they expected to find traces of events dating back over 900 years.

     

    Meanwhile, archaeologists have come across a battle knife from the 8th century. Having discovered the mysterious object, they turned for an opinion to Dr. Piotr Pranke from the Department of Scandinavian and Central and Eastern European History at the Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń. The expert said that the item could be an extremely rare, very early Norwegian seax, dating from the mid-8th century AD.

     

    The find occurred in April this year, but only now have scientists been able to gather more information about it. As Mateusz Sosnowski, an archaeologist who participates and coordinates the research on behalf of Wdecki Landscape Park, tells Nauka w Polsce, finding a weapon coming from Scandinavia on a battlefield from the end of the 11th century would not be anything unusual, however, archaeologists were intrigued by the unusual shape of the knife. If it were to date from the late 11th century, it would have to be much shorter than the one encountered during the archaeological dig.

     

    The specimen uncovered by the archaeologists measures 90 cm, and its blade itself is 80 cm. “As you can see, it is a weapon of impressive size for a battle knife, which at this size could easily compete with two-handed swords from that period,” says Sosnowski.

     

    Seax from Wdecki Landscape Park went to the conservators. Its discoverers want it to be presented to a wider audience after its renovation.

    A street show in Izdebki! A party to the delight of drivers

    As the organizers of the Lotos Drift Show Izdebki 2021 say, drifting is the foundation of this event, even though the whole event develops every year.

    “Drifters who rode in the Drift Championship of Poland or the Drift Open series were able to ride and enjoy drifting on the mountain course after a full season. Annually, it started to grow on its own” – emphasizes the evolution of the event, the organizer of LOTOS Drift Show Izdebki 2021 Rafał Haznar.

     

    However, it is worth noting that the audience, apart from drift, will also have an opportunity to enjoy other attractions, such as racing simulators, monster trucks, supercars and an exhibition of classics.

     

    “This event is a combination of drifting practice, a car festival and a family picnic. You can bring a barbecue, a blanket and just ‘chill out’,” Haznar points out, adding that in his opinion, people enjoy that event because of the relaxed and picnic atmosphere. 

     

    “We have never done a competition here – for various reasons. First and foremost because this is supposed to be an entertaining event for the drivers as well, we want each of them to enjoy driving along such an unusual section” – he says

     

    On the route in Izdebki, we will see only 25 drivers selected from more than 130 entered drivers.

     

    “We have fleet limitations, plus the capacity of the course only allows us to do so. We want everyone to have a good time and that’s why the number of drivers is limited,” says Rafał Haznar.

     

    On the route we will see, among others, Kamil Lorenc, Artur Barszczowski, Bartosz Ostałowski, Karolina Pilarczyk and Budda.

     

    Information for fans:

     

    29 zlotys – this is the price for a two-day admission to the event. Children under 9 get in free. On the last day of the event, the organizer invites us to concerts. Among others, Mezo and Kubańczyk will perform.

    21.08. 2021 SATURDAY

    12:00 – 18:00 DRIFT SHOW SERIES

    “There is no such thing as ‘no man’s land. There is a borderline – there is the Polish side and the Belarusian side. There is a border road lane, but it is either on the Polish or Belarusian side. The group of people, who have been camping for several days near the border, is on the Belarusian side,” explained Lt. Anna Michalska in the noon conversation at RMF FM.

    As the Border Guard spokeswoman added, border guards accept applications for international protection at border crossings, as well as throughout Poland, and from all those who wanted to submit such applications, they were accepted. If the group which we have been observing for a few days in Usnarz Górny was at the border crossing – such conclusions would be accepted by the officers,” the spokesman argues.

    I would like to remind you that there are no groups of nomadic migrants on the Polish side. All persons who illegally crossed the border were taken care of, examined – also under the Covid-19 test and all persons who wanted to apply for international protection submitted their applications – said Lieutenant Anna Michalska, explaining the situation on the Polish-Belarusian border.  

    Friday is another day when a group of people is camping on the Belarusian side near the Polish border near the village of Usnarz Górny. They had already set up several tents. They cannot cross the Polish border and the Belarusian guards do not allow them to go back.

    Tatra Musealia is the annual celebration of the Tatra Museum. This year it takes place on the weekend of 21-22 August in Zakopane. The event will be an opportunity to admire, among others, works by Witkacy and Gerson.

    “Musealia is a celebration of the Tatra Museum held annually during the holidays. During these two days, we are presenting the collections in all our facilities and all our exhibition, and educational activities,” said the director of the Tatra Museum.

     

    This year’s Musealia begins with a “Breakfast on the Grass” in front of the art gallery in the Oksza villa, which is a branch of the Tatra Museum. In this gallery, you will be able to admire the temporary exhibition “Gerson in the Tatra Mountains”, featuring the artist’s Tatra landscapes from the collections of the largest Polish National Museums. The first day of the Musealia will end with a highlander’s band concert at the Oksza villa.

     

    On Sunday, those willing to participate will be able to take part in an urban game entitled ‘The searchers of wooden codes’. There will also be glass painting demonstrations and a visit to a branch of the Tatra Museum – the Highlander house of the Gąsienica Sobczak family – with a highlander guide.

    Tarasewicz's painting at the Expo in Dubai

    A synthesis of the four seasons and light – this is how painter Leon Tarasewicz describes the picture painted for the World Expo 2020 in Dubai.

    The painting, measuring 3.4 by 13.5 meters, will be part of the Podlasie Voivodeship presentation at the Expo.

     

    Originally the presentation was to be called Woodopolis (Drewnopolis), but it was changed to Xylopolis; the leitmotif is wood. The organizers of Xylopolis explain that this presentation is about showing Poland as a country that combines elements of environmental protection and sustainable economic and social development with the preservation of cultural heritage.

     

    Leon Tarasewicz, a well-known and respected painter from the region, has painted a picture which will be included in the temporary exhibitions of the Polish exhibition in Dubai. He created it for two weeks in the hall of the Unihouse company in Bielsk Podlaski. As he said, he chose this place because a work of this height would not fit in his home studio.

     

    “This is part of the pavilion and in such a case, when you design a work for it, on the one hand, this work should stand alone, and on the other hand, you also know that it will be a background for other objects, other showcases that are designed there. I had a plan for this pavilion, so I knew what kind of work is needed. Anyway, this is how I often work with exhibitions, based on a plan,” said the artist.

     

    Referring to the color scheme, he said it was a synthesis of the four seasons and light. “A synthesis of the forest, in different ways with the energy of light interacting, so that this could function as part of this whole exhibition (…). In paintings, not everything is so translatable, one to one, because then the viewer and our intellect would be unnecessary. It is also an intermediate thought that should function between me, the work, the viewer, and other elements of the exhibition”, said Tarasewicz.

    Expo 2020 in Dubai will be the first World Exhibition organized in an Arab country and, according to the organizers’ announcements, it aspires to become the largest show in history. According to the decision of the World Exhibition Bureau, due to the COVID19 pandemic, EXPO 2020 in Dubai was postponed by a year and will take place between October 1, 2021, and March 31, 2022.
