Once I visited Egypt. But it was like in a dream. Now I read a lot about this civilization.
People from different countries came to ancient Egypt to get knowledge. Some of them managed to receive this knowledge and sometimes they came back home.
Having come back in their vigorous city, living among crowd of people who were under power of their passions and not understanding their true I, these enlightened people often came back via their thoughts to Egypt, to pyramids, to temples. And then sights and memoirs on the received knowledge came back to them: "The soul is a light closed by a coverlet; when there is no care of it, the light darkens and becomes dim, but when it is supported - like the lamp by oil – by sacred love, it inflames in an inextinguishable icon lamp ".
After such readings it becomes better and more joyful.
Italian manufacturer of luxurious sport-cars Ferrari has introduced its first car that works on ethanol. This event happened in the frames of the International Auto Show in the USA in January, 2008. The new Ferrari F430 Spider Biofuel is the company’s reflection to the new trend of the alternative fuel growth. From the other side, Ferrari remains the car with the powerful engine anyway.
Ferrari that is a part of the Italian concern Fiat sold 6400 new cars in 2007 that is 14% more than the previous year. The highest level of demand of the Ferrari cars was observed in China and Far East that is not a surprise.
Which UAE citizen wouldn’t like to drive their own Ferrari having the Ferrari Park on their territory? It sounds to be very prestigious, even if the Arabians have to wait some months for the car to arrive.
It's interesting, how many trees are cut down in a year on our planet? And how much of them are planted? Only for manufacture of paper or Chinese chopsticks several millions of trees per year are cut down!
Let's take, for example, manufacture and sale of computers. It would seem, the computer should reduce quantity of paper work. But did you face the book-keeping which exists in any company producing accessories for computers? At their transportation, sale - everywhere there is a book-keeping with a heap of paper work.
So we again move not forward, to progress, but to simplification of physical work - and no more. And we still continue to cut down woods. Faster and faster!
Recruiting business has experienced considerable changes with the Internet expansion all over the world. Now, if you need a job, you don’t need to go to an agency anymore. Go on-line, open a website of the recruiting agency, and send your CV to them. As simple as that. It goes even further with the vacancies’ ads posted in the on-line games.
Who could ever think about the possibility to hire people while they are playing or gaming? It would sound ridiculous in the middle of the 20th century but now it’s a common practice for such an organization like Intelligence Corps! Here how the progress works…
The real estate business… These three words sound magnificent to any businessman. And magical, of course! Too much money is in this business that’s why it is so appealing. It is not always profitable; there are bad times here too. But it happens quite rarely, and you always can return your money later. This is what will happen to the London’s City this year.
It will be very interesting to observe the investments boom in London next years. It wasn’t the case of 2007 but time will show us whether the UK real estate and commercial offices of the City are still attractive to the investors and the businesspeople willing to have their branch in London.
I with my daughter was going to the kindergarten today. We often sing songs. And today I decided to explain her - what is winter and summer. I start my story that now is winter, snow, sledges, again snow, it is needed to put on a warm overalls. Then the snow will melt, warm weather will come, bla-bla-bla, spring. Then the summer will come, everything will be green, we'll go to the country to your grandmother, to the sea ….
I see that my daughter has fallen silent – comprehends. After some time she says the sacramental phrase: "Mum, and where is the sea?"
I am knocked speechless!
I come to my senses, and start seriously thinking – where is the sea, almost crying: "daughter, we live in a big city with lots of houses, cars and people, but there is no sea here…."
Japan is simply a world wonder, an amazing country in the East that has been always attractive to me. I have never been there but my plan is to visit Japan at least once in my life. I am in love with their tea ceremony; the meaning is more or less the same but the ceremonies differ from each other due to the cultural differences. I have recently discovered that there are two types of the hotels in Japan
I’d definitely, with no single doubt, go for the traditional hotel of Japan. When you’re in Japan, you must try to become Japanese as much as possible; otherwise what for going to Japan? With the same success, you can visit France or Spain, I guess.
Soon new Lyon will be constructed in Dubai.

Sometimes it seems to me, that any work moves only when I put to it my hands, my energy. As soon as I leave this work for some time, everything fades, though it should work. Everything is adjusted and smoothly running. But probably it doesn't work without my energy.
But this was not explained to us at school! :)))
What a fanny and beautiful baby!
It always seemed to me that kids are the most beautiful things in the world! Children have huge opportunities and hopes. I'd like to become a child again!
