Polish Greatness

[SobieskiSavedEurope]

Considering the mockery, and slander / libel against Poles I think it's necessary.

Has any ethnic population been more scapegoated, and slandered?

There's so many negative stereotypes upon Poles, like dumb Polak, thieves, criminals, drunks, prostitutes, weak at war, using horses in WW2, starting WW2 in Bromberg Massacre, being the land of the Holocaust, being Nazi collaborators.

Most of these are downright slander / libel, or and many others are extreme exaggerations.

.1.) Are Poles dumb?
Poland in the Renaissance was the European leader in science, even the Scientific Revolution came from Poland thanks to Copernicus, and Albert Brudzewski.

Polish Americans scored a massive 109 IQ.
While Poland's IQ is considered to be 99, this is by no means low.
The PISA scores of Poland are high, the literacy rates of Poland are high, and Poland wins many intellectual competitions like the IBM Battle of the Brains Contest, the University Rover Challenge, the Google Online Marketing Challenge, Google Code Jam, among others.

So, no I wouldn't say Poles are particularly dumb.,

2.) Thieves, or criminals?

Poland was the first European country to successfully hold off slavery.

Poland had no involved in Colonialism, nor the Atlantic Slave Trade of thievery, or Criminality.

As for common criminals?

Poland's murder rate is now lower than the EU average.

There's an extreme exaggeration of Polish as being a particularly criminal population in UK media, and British circles.

But, Poles are estimated to have 6,700 or so criminals yearly, as opposed to 1.19 million criminals yearly in the UK.

This would support that 0.5% of criminals in the UK were Polish, while over 1.0% of the UK was Polish.

So, actually Poles are underrepresented in crime in the UK.

3.) Drunks?

This map shows that Poles were less likely to be diagnosed with alcoholism than most of Northern Europe.

4.) Prostitutes?

Poles have one of the latest ages for losing virginity in Europe.

While, there might be some Polish prostitutes.

Most Polish girls are if anything more prude than most of Europe.

5.) Weak at war?

I don't think anyone has won more battles when outnumbered than Poles.

Quite a few Polish battles come to mind, the Battle of Hodow, Battle of Klushino, Battle of Kircholm, Battle of Lubieszow, Battle of Trembowla, battle of fuengirola etc.

6.( While it's true that Poles had Horse units in WW2.

So did everyone else except Great Britain.

Actually the Nazis, and Soviets each had many times more Horses than Poland.

So, why do many anti-Polish Nazis, and anti-Polish Soviets ignore these facts?

7.) Bromberg Massacre starting before WW2 is not historically accepted.

But, many Nazis, or German sympathizers try, none the less.

I think the fact that Nazi Germany had claimed a Bromberg Massacre was going on since March of 1939, but invaded Czechoslovakia in March of 1939 instead of Poland says all that needs to be said.

8.) While it's true that Poland is where many Concentration Camps are located.

The Nazi Germans had annexed this land.

Furthermore Nazi Germany first put Poles into Auschwitz, rather than Jews.

Up to 100's of thousands of Poles passed through the Concentration Camps, and 100's of thousands of more Poles were killed in Nazi massacres, including Wola Massacre, the Ponary Massace, Operation Tannenberg etc.

9.) Poland was the first nation to fight the Nazis.

After the Nazis had invaded, Poland had the biggest anti-Nazi resistance in occupied Europe.

Poles had the highest number of Righteous Among the Nations risk their lives to save Holocaust victim Jews, some serious names come to mind like Eugene Lazowski, Henryk Slawik, or Irena Sendler.
(This is in spite of the fact that Poland was the only nation in occupied Europe that a death penalty was created for aiding Holocaust Jews.

Zegota was an entire Polish organization which had dedicate their time, lives, and resources to aiding Holocaust victim Jews.

With that said, Poles like all populations of Europe had some Nazi collaborators.

But, there's no recorded Polish Nazi SS units in Europe.

Furthermore even the Jews had some Nazi collaborators.
Actually the Jewish historian Emanuel Ringelblum who lived his last days in the Nazi controlled Warsaw Ghetto, had admitted that Jewish Nazi collaborators of the Jewish Ghetto Police, were more brutal than Polish Nazi collaborators of the Polish Blue Police.

The Polish peaked with the sausage. It’s been all down hill since.

I bet you love sausages.

Polish discovery helps in the fight against cancer

Photo: press materials
A personalized cancer vaccine that uses an invention of scientists from the University of Warsaw is currently at the stage of clinical trials. The Polish invention also gained recognition abroad - it was one of the nominees for the European Inventor Award 2018.

The 2018 edition of the European Inventor Award was held on 7 June 2018 in Paris. The goal of the event is to honour the authors of the best solutions that have significantly improved or may improve the quality of life. Among the nominees in the "Research" category were also Jacek Jemielity, Joanna Kowalska, Edward Darżynkiewicz and their research team from the University of Warsaw.

As the researchers explain in an interview with PAP, the invention nominated for the award granted by the European Patent Office is a technique based on a subtle modification of messenger RNA (mRNA). The solution is an alternative to introducing changes in DNA, which is an expensive, difficult and risky process. "You could say that mRNA is a +recipe+ for a protein: the gene in our cells is transcribed into messenger RNA" - explains Edward Darżynkiewicz. On the basis of information encoded in mRNA, specific proteins necessary for our body`s functioning are created.

Unfortunately, mRNA in its natural state is too unstable to be used in therapies. "Our invention consists in the fact that through a subtle chemical modification of a very small fragment we have increased the lifetime of mRNA by +breaking the teeth+ of enzymes responsible for its degradation" - says Darżynkiewicz.

He adds that the new technique is beginning to find specific applications - at the end of last year, clinical trials were initiated on a personalized cancer vaccine based on the discovery of Polish scientists. "This means that now clinical trials (of cancer drugs - ed. PAP) can be detached from a given type of cancer and it is possible to try to treat patients who suffer from different types of cancer in the same clinical trial" - emphasises Darżynkiewicz.

How does the technique discovered by Polish researchers work? "The truth is that we have not discovered a +cancer vaccine+, we have only found a way to stabilize mRNA" - emphasises Joanna Kowalska.

She explains that cancer vaccines are based on the use of dendritic cells. These cells are an important part of the immune system - they play a key role in stimulating lymphocytes, immune system cells.

"The therapy consists in delivering (modified) mRNA to the dendritic cells in the patient`s body" - says Kowalska. "Antigen proteins are synthesized based on a recipe included in the RNA. The purpose of these antigens is to activate our immune system to destroy those cells in our body that have this antigen".

"Before we synthesize such RNA, we must of course know which antigen is characteristic of the patient`s cancer" - notes the researcher. "After identifying the proteins that distinguish diseased cells from healthy ones, we can design an RNA molecule that will enable us to activate and train the immune system so that the patient`s body can find and destroy cancer cells" - she explains.

After the start of the European patent process in 2008, the team established cooperation with the company BioNTech from the University of Mainz (Germany). BioNTech specializes in gene therapies. Initial clinical trials using the discovery of Polish researchers began two years later. In the next step, BioNTech licensed the stable mRNA technology to the largest pharmaceutical companies, including the French Sanofi SA (in 2015) and Genentech Inc. (in 2016).

In July 2017, BioNTech published the results of the first human trials of a personalized, mRNA-based cancer vaccine using caps developed by Prof. Jemielity and his team. In 8 out of 13 study participants who had recurrent melanoma, no cancer cells were found during the 23 months of the study. Cancer decrease was observed in one of the other five people who developed new tumours.

According to the Polish researchers, the stage of clinical trials may take at least 2-3 years. "But remember that no RNA-based therapy has yet been approved - therefore, this time may be even longer" - adds Edward Darżynkiewicz.

Money and a gift for seducing well-connected women are Sosnowski’s main weapons of choice.Rafał Skrzypek/Creative Commons
It’s 1924, and the handsome and daring Captain Jerzy Sosnowski has arrived in Berlin, the capital of Germany.

His charisma is not his only asset – he is young, talented, rich and intelligent. He is also an agent of Polish military intelligence.

Germany, recovering after the defeat of the First World War, has signed the Rapallo Treaty with Russia – an agreement that will officially regulate political and economic relations but has, in fact, also given a green light for a new German-Russian military cooperation. Poland is sending agents to the Weimar Germany because it does not feel safe anymore.

Meanwhile, Germany is enjoying brief respite from the horrors of the Great Depression. Berlin is in the throes of the ‘Golden 20s’, an era of fast scientific, cultural and artistic development and Berlin’s high society just wants to have fun. No one more than the young Baroness Benita von Falkenhayn.

An attractive blonde with lively eyes, she is just 24 but has already married for the second time. The marriage, to Colonel Richard von Falkenhayn, provides her with a life of luxury until her husband suffers a serious accident. After falling from a horse, he becomes a cripple with a pension of only 90 marks a month. Von Falkenhayn managed to escape poverty – right into the arms of the 28-year-old, enigmatic (and wealthy) Sosnowski.

Money and a gift for seducing well-connected women are Sosnowski’s main weapons of choice. After a year-long romance, von Falkenhayn learns of Sosnowski’s clandestine operation, but instead of baulking at the revelation, she confesses her love for him.

She also provides him with confidential information from the German Ministry of the Interior.

Taking advantage of her colleagues working in the Reichswehr, but for more valuable details, Sosnowski approaches von Falkenhayn’s friends himself. Each time he uses seduction as his proven strategy for espionage. "I am like God,” he says, “I love all women.”

Finally he is found guilty of treason and cooperation with Germany and sentenced to 15 years prison.Rafał Skrzypek/Creative Commons

And his bosses in Warsaw loved him. Sosnowski's reports are a goldmine for interwar Poland. He is the first to report about closer German-Soviet cooperation, which in 1939 led to the signing of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, he provides information about German spies in Poland and in 1929 he obtains Organization of War plans (Organization-Kriegsspiel), which included a list of actions in the event of a war with Poland.

The information comes at a price, though. For Sosnowski’s woman informants will pay for his ‘love’, sometimes even with their lives. Renate von Natzmer, the secretary of the Reichswehr and Sosonowski‘s lover, will be executed by Hitler’s Nazis, while Irene Jena, another of Sosnowski’s conquests, will get a life-sentence.

His lovers, including von Falkenhayn, also draw the interest of the Abwehr German intelligence agency.

In 1932, fed up with rumours of his numerous liasons and indiscretions, von Falkenhayn tries to withdraw from her relationship with Sosnowski. Instead, she marries Josef von Berge, a close friend of Hermann Goering.

Sosnowski's infidelity, however, will also upset another of his lovers: the dancer Lea Niako. She too is a spy, but – unfortunately for the Polish secret agent – she works for the German intelligence agency. Niako decides to take revenge on Sosnowski by reporting him to the Abwehr.

One February evening in 1934, Sosnowski is hosting a ‘morally unrestrained’ party, when the Gestapo storms the apartment and all women cooperating with the Polish spy are arrested, including Benita von Falkenhayn.

Sosnowski tries to help von Falkenhayn, by attempting to marry her so she can become a citizen of Poland and thus avoid punishment. Hitler does not accept the marriage and orders her beheading.

The day before her execution, she sends one final letter to Sosnowski: "Dear Jurek, in a few hours it will be the end of it all. Throughout all my life, I have loved only you. I forgive you everything and hope that I will be forgiven for everything too.”

On February 18th 1935, at 6am, the death toll rung at the Ploetzensee prison in Berlin. Dressed in a black frock, bowler hat and white gloves, the executioner Carl Gropler beheads von Falkenhayn in one deft stroke.

Jerzy Sosnowski, on the other hand, is exchanged by the German intelligence for German spies and is sent back to Poland. There, he is interrogated and accused of collaborating with the Germans. On June 17, 1939, he is found guilty of treason and cooperation with Germany and sentenced to 15 years prison.

Innovative imaging system helps destroy liver cancer

Source: press materials
An innovative imaging system using high temperature that will help interventional radiologists destroy liver tumours with very high precision has been developed by Evertop specialists and a team from the Silesian University of Technology. The first treatment with the use of the new technology was successfully carried out on August 2 in Warsaw.

Liver cancer is one of the most common causes of death in oncology patients. According to Prof. Olgierd Rowiński, head of the Second Department of Radiology at the Medical University of Warsaw, speed and accuracy are of particular importance in their treatment. Thus, the most effective treatments are minimally invasive interventional oncology procedures with computed tomography, ultrasound or magnetic resonance monitoring. Unfortunately, in the case of some patients these methods are not sufficiently precise - mainly due to chest movements that cause frequent changes in the alignment of organs.

Evertop and Polish scientists have developed an innovative image navigation system that creates a spatial model of the abdominal cavity, taking into account the movements of internal organs and respiratory distortions. Now the image from computed tomography will be combined with the live ultrasound image. A special program overlays this model on the position of the surgical instrument and guides the operator to move it as safely as possible, we read in the release sent to PAP by the company`s representatives.

"The personalized patient model allows for a precise, three-dimensional location of changes in the surrounding of its structures. The surgeon`s field of vision also includes the movement of tools during the surgery. This allows to select the right trajectory, which will lead to the neoplastic change visualized in the model" - says Ewa Piętka, head of the Project Research Team at the Department of Computer Science and Medical Equipment, Faculty of Biomedical Engineering, Silesian University of Technology, quoted in the press release.

The first treatment with the use of the new technology was carried out on August 2 at the Department of Radiology of the Clinical Hospital in Warsaw (Medical University of Warsaw) in a patient with liver cancer. The next group of patients will benefit from the treatment at the end of the month.

into a family of mixed origins, through the connection between a Polishnoble family originating from Mazowsze and a Russian noble family. He emigrated to Germany because of the political persecution of Poles after the assassination of Alexander II of Russia (1881). He studied at the Darmstadt University of Technology (TH Darmstadt) in Germany. From 1887 he worked for AEG.


Dobrovolsky, age 22
One of the founders (the others were Nikola Tesla, Galileo Ferraris and Jonas Wenström) of polyphase electrical systems, he developed the three-phase electrical generator and a three-phase electrical motor (1888) and studied star and delta connections. The triumph of the three-phase system was displayed in Europe at the International Electro-Technical Exhibition of 1891, where Dolivo-Dobrovolsky used this system to transmit electric power at the distance of 176 km with 75% efficiency. In 1891 he also created a three-phase transformer and short-circuited (squirrel-cage) induction motor.[1][2]

He designed the world's first three-phase hydroelectric power plant in 1891. During his life he obtained over 60 patents.

In 1911 he received an honorary doctorate from the TH Darmstadt. He died in Heidelberg, Germany, aged 57.
