- And then there were none...Hello friends!I have just finished watching the TV show "And then there were none" <s>by</s> on BBC. I must say it was a pretty valuable experience.When I was a child I read lots of Agatha Christie<s>'s</s> books. I was really interested in crime stories and I often pretended to be a famous detective who was supposed to solve the most mysterious cases in the world.I had read a large number of astonishing and breathtaking novels by my tenth birthday, but the story about ten strangers on the island was my favourite one.Those people did horrible things in their lives, so they were invited to the island by Mr. Unknown. He or she was going to kill them all one by one. I was scared while I was reading the book, because the story was quite terrifying for the 10-years child. The most frightening moment was when they realized the murderer was one of them! It was enough to make me feel a chill down my spine.If I had to estimate the TV show, I would write lots of kind words. I am convinced the actors did their best and made the characters as real as possible <s>as alive as it was possible</s>. Watching the episodes I was nervous in spite of <s>I had</s> having read the book.Thank you for reading!0 votedJanuary 23, 20202
- The Birth of a Global Identity (II)Nowadays, the <s>same</s> similar shopping malls can be found almost all over the world, a Swedish and an Italian family can have the same Ikea furnishings, and there are hundreds of international clothes brands. These are only a few examples of the consequences of globalization.It is quite obvious that we are losing some of our national customs and part of our national tastes in favour of a more international identity. It sounds sad, but the truth is that youngsters are no longer attached to those habits that we are losing, otherwise they would guard them.Moreover, populations have always changed their traditions to adapt to a new reality. National identity, in fact, would only be a burden in a globalized world. New generations all around the globe already form a big family, which, as such, needs to share habits and knowledge. New citizens are world citizens, their home is wherever and everywhere they <s>must</s> feel at home.Another point in favour of globalization is that the exchange of information and products <s>give better</s> improves <s>chances</s> the chance for people to find their inner self and be themselves. For instance, an Italian could prefer American coffee to Italian espresso, and there is nothing wrong with that.It is not just a matter of tastes and preferences, sharing experience also means discovering the most efficient ways to act. Indeed, we should learn much from Japanese people when it comes to crowd management in train stations. For these reasons, too, globalization mostly represents an enrichment rather than a loss.By the way, it is not globalization in itself the major cause of the loss of national and cultural identities, but one of its main consequences: the incremental rise in migration. In many places on the planet, many races and cultures live together. This does not allow the inhabitants to feel that they belong to a nest where they feel safe. Probably, in a few decades, people will stop moving so much, then new ''national'' identities will be formed, which will have a healthy international component.In view of these arguments, it is possible to conclude that we should not make an effort to maintain our national traditions. Instead, we should let this change happen naturally.0 votedJuly 22, 20191
Note about Hyper Light Drifter(game)
I've got all the sprites from HLD(Hyper Light Drifter) and figured out how the cutscenes work in the game. It's just a predrawn sprite. I thought it was a script that controls the game objects...so, I was wrong. Also the effect of player's teleporting is a sprite as well. Maybe drawing cutscenes is easier than scripting them, especially if you already have all the necessary sprites.0 votedOctober 23, 20182"Technical term" or "jargon"?

I have good working companion colleague from work.
Yesterday, we enjoyed eating pizza and pasta at a sports-bar, and we played table tennis.
Then we go went to a karaoke place to sing songs.
It costs money, however it was so happy such a fun time.
I thought that there might be sometimes such time. I was hoping I would have this kind of experience when I was working.
Today, I worked with my companion co-worker for four hours.
It is good approach to work with someone, because if I feel loneliness, my motivation for working is dropped.
My plan after now when I get home is to cook dinner and do the duties that were left to do at home.0 votedOctober 13, 20182Explanation words

The percentages of results of survey which is answered by people show people's opinion about celebrity news coverage.This survey shows people's opinion about celebrity news coverage.
There were clear majority views for all three of the questions asked. The vast majority of people (%85) think celebrities receive too much news coverage. A similar majority was seen in the "Who is responsible for the amount of coverage" question, 56 percent of people think it is related with to news organisations.
As well as the "who is responsible of for this situation" question, in question of "who gives celebrities the most coverage", it was seen that over half percent of the people answered that television news gives more coverage.
Overall, the percentages of survey results suggest that most people think there is too much focus on famous people in the news and that television news programs are largely to blame.0 votedOctober 12, 20183My town

To find a Finding the right workplace that is perfectly situated suited for you isn't uncomplicated. But Your working environment should be rewarding and stimulating. You have to hit it off with your new collegues and the client contact shouldn`t bother you. Sometimes you have to accept bureaucracy or red tape. It is great if you have a solid university background and can put your ideas and methods into practice. Very often you have to be hands on and take a care about pay attention to business operations. The Originality and creativity are sometimes excellent instruments for dealing with tough situations the troubles. This is very different if you like working on your own. The hot-desk model wouldn`t be situated suitable for you. And also paperwork would feels snowed under You might also fell like you are buried in paperwork. Anyway, the best time in the part of work is the vacation time.0 votedOctober 8, 20183Change
When I pay in with a Japanese 10,000 yen bill at a store, I usually say "I am sorry to pay in I only have a 10,000 yen bill."
I hear that saw a woman paid in pay with a the 10,000 Yen bill at a restaurant without saying anything at a restaurant and received the change of 9,000 yen.
But, all bills of the change was 1000 yen bill. She (who is she??) irritatedly said, "Don't you have any 5,000 yen bills?"
I agreed with her but she should have been had to be more torelant.0 votedOctober 8, 20182
