Что иностранцы знают о России? Пару лет назад мне пришла в голову мысль спрашивать в поездках у иностранцев, что они знают о России. Фотографировать их и собирать всю информацию воедино. Но, начав этот проект в Токио (в 2008 году), я потом как-то забыл о нем. Теперь же решил заняться этим основательно :-) Поэтому, я решил пригласить к участию в этом проекте всех желающих! Для того, что бы ваша информация попала в собираемую статистику, необходимо следовать простым правилам. Подойти в любой стране к иностранцу и спросить: - откуда вы? Потом надо сфотографировать нашего собеседника или собеседницу. Это обязательные пункты. Есть и не обязательный, но желательный: - кем вы работаете (для определения социального статуса)? Собранную информацию постите в комменты и я добавляю её в основную запись со ссылкой на вас. Если же вы не зарегестрированы в ЖЖ, то можете прислать всю информацию мне на электронную почту - mix_pr собачка mail.ru Ну, а теперь, представляю вам то, что уже успел собрать я сам (в хронологическом порядке): 1. 2.

Mark Anderson's Blog | education, learning & technology Published on August 24th, 2013 | by Mark Anderson 16inShare Technology can be used to support any subject and technology to support creative writing is one such area. Here are some of my favourite but often overlooked sites and tools as well as some staples for inspiration, creation and publication and they work just as well in primary as they do secondary and in further education. Inspiration People are often inspired by the things that affect their senses. Watch Documentary The site features hundreds of documentary films, series and episodes across a multitude of subject areas. Compfight Images on Flickr and elsewhere can provide some brilliant inspiration but often time there is too much information there and then you can’t use them because of copyright restrictions or that you can’t download the image. Be Happy! I’ve talked previously about how Pinterest can be a great source of inspiration, particularly with some of the memes that are on there. Creation Popplet
Миф о красоте русских женщин Если котик кажется милым — это паразит диктует вам свою волю. Фотография: Thinkstock Мы привыкли, что котики милые. Сама мысль о том, что котики являются ничем иным, как гнездовым паразитом, не приходит в голову обычному человеку. Кандидат биологических наук и научный журналист Александр Панчин рассказал о механизмах котогнездового паразитизма, и тех уловках, благодаря которым пришельцу удается убедить хозяина в том, что он — член семьи, а значит нуждается во всей доступной еде, любви и заботе.

Buxfer: Free online personal finance software for budgeting and money management Hobbit needs new law - expert Only a new law will give the American film studio Warner Bros the guarantee it wants on labour laws to keep The Hobbit in New Zealand, an employment law expert says. A decision on where Warner Bros will make the movies is expected by the end of the week, and last night Government advisers were looking at how they could clarify the law covering film workers - specifically on their legal status as contractors or employees. A meeting last night between Warner executives and senior Government ministers pinpointed labour laws as the greatest issue. Mr Key said the "paramount" problem was that film workers on independent contracts could be legally seen as employees, even if their contracts specifically called them contractors. That followed a Supreme Court ruling in 2005 on James Bryson, a model maker on the Lord of the Rings movies, who was deemed an employee, even though he was hired as a contractor. "They're not arguing people can't be employees," Mr Key said. - NZ Herald
Hobbit to stay in NZ Prime Minister John Key announced tonight that The Hobbit movies - a $670m project - will be made in New Zealand. Government ministers - including Economic Development Minister Gerry Brownlee and Arts, Culture and Heritage Minister Chris Finlayson - and Warner Bros executives have been locked in negotiations all day. Mr Key made the announcement at a press conference this evening. "I am delighted we have achieved this result, said Mr Key. The Government will introduce legislation tomorrow to clarify the distinction between independent contractors and employees as it relates to the film industry only. "The industrial issues that have arisen in the past several weeks have highlighted a significant set of concerns for the way in which the international film industry operates," Mr Key said. "We will be moving to ensure that New Zealand law in this area is settled to give film producers like Warner Bros the confidence they need to produce their movies in this country. - with NZ Herald staff
Живой Журнал Lonely Planet takes shine to Wellington (+photos) - Travel Wellington has been voted the fourth top city in the world to visit next year by Lonely Planet, while Auckland has been left out in the cold. Lonely Planet's Best in Travel in 2011 guide chose 10 cities based on feedback from bloggers, travellers, tweeters and a panel of in-house judges. The guide refers to Wellington as the "coolest little capital in the world". Prime Minister John Key, who first lived there between 1985 and 1988, said the capital was a good place to live. "It's a compact city, I think it has very interesting architecture [and] for all the hard time that Wellington gets about its weather, I think it adds to the dimension of the place," he said. "I thoroughly enjoy going round the harbour when it's blustery and windy. Wellington also had wonderful restaurants, he added. However, Mr Key said it was a stretch to say he preferred Wellington over Auckland. "Its compact size energises its sense of community. Lonely Planet's top 10 cities for 2011:
