Stony biscuits - Biscuits de pierre I like to cook. Especially biscuits. Recently I've baked very easy biscuits. They consist of four ingredients only: flour, eggs, sugar and butter. I baked them and tried. It turned out they were solid like stone. I've got upset of it. I thought: "What a strange recipe! The recipe of stony biscuits!" And I checked on Internet what' s wrong with my biscuits, what's the problem. And during this searching I realized I'd forgotten to add eggs. At all... So from four ingredients I forgot about one. J'aime cuisiner. Notamment je aime cuisiner des biscuits. Récemment je cuit biscuits très facile. Ils ont quatre ingrédients: farine, les œufs, le sucre et le beurre. Je leur ai fait cuire au four. Et je les mangeais. Ils ont été très solides. Ils sont solides comme la pierre. Je me suis bouleversé. Je pensais: "Il est un très étrange recette! La recette de comment faire cuire des biscuits de pierre." Je cherchais sur Internet ce qui est mal avec mes biscuits. Et puis je me suis souvenu Je oublié d'ajouter les oeufs. Du tout... Je oublié un ingrédient de quatre.

The contrast of Dollar and Ruble over the past 20 years. 1. In 1991 the Soviet Union ended and Russian Federation faced the problem of a new currency. The Soviet Union economy was isolated, centralized and planned by the government. Russia decided to get to the market economy. In first five years after the Soviet Union Russia GPD steady declined. The first slight economic growth was in 1997 but at the same time there was the Asian financial crisis, which had a negative impact on the Russian economy. It had led to Russia couldn't repay debts in 1998 and Ruble has devaluated. If before 1998 (since 1991) American Dollar had been cost approximately 6 Rubles what was quite norm, than in 1998 American Dollar reached the price of 30 Rubles within two months. It was a serious blow to Russian economy. Many people have lost their accumulations for their whole life because of the devaluation and illiteracy in currency questions. There was also the outflow of capital from the country. 2. But already in 1999 the Russian economy started recovering. Unexpectedly the low Ruble's exchange rate to world's leading exchange helped the Russian economy. It was good for domestic production and export. 3. Russia is one of the first world's exporters of gas and oil. And oil price increase helped Russia to make the economic growth stable. GPD growth caused by the trust of business communities and customers in favorable future of Russian economy. In consequence of what the foreign investment has increased and the outflow of capital from the country has almost stopped. 4. Though Russia is one of the largest exporter of natural resources its position in the world market is vulnerable, it depends on natural resources price. In 2007 Russian government adopt an economic program to become independent, but the results of it are still unsatisfying. That's why in 2008-2009 Russian economy was again unready for the world economic crisis, because of oil price had fallen and foreign investment in the economy had significantly decreased. Central Bank of Russia spent one third gold-currency reserves to save the economy. 5. This problem had been solved and in 2010 Russian economy started to recover again. But the strong drought and fires in the center of Russia decreased agricultural production which led to ban of grain export and the low developing in other sectors. High oil price supported the Russian economy growth and helped to make the budget deficit less. All this time one Dollar cost approximately 30 Rubles.

Sherlock Holmes I've seen the movie "Sherlock Holmes. Games of Shadow" just a week ago. I can tell that I didn't want to watch it earlier because I thought it's boring. But then I've seen it in English and it was interesting for improving my language skills and also because of it's plot. I couldn't figure out till the end how Sherlock had figured out all these riddles. And about the resurrection... it was so scared. I like in Sherlock's character that he can connect really different parts of social life in the single pattern. And even find the solution of difficult situation only because of his mind.

the history of math I saw the film "history of math" on bbc channel. It was so exitening! Fistly it tells how ancient Egyptians created numbers and then have guessed how to use them in more complicated way than just counting. But they didn't create the number "zero". Like they couldn't imagine such an amount. Then the film shows an ancient Mesapotamia. And their math method of counting in sixties. By the way I've found all these methods weird and couldn't understand how to use them in real life. Then we came into Middleage China. And found them using the system of counting familiar to the modern one. I mean to count in tens. But at that time there were still no our usual figures to write. So finaly we got to India in fifteen century where they'd discovered the number "zero". Before the Europian scientists somehow. That's what all the film about. And I'll see the next series of it.
