Friends, can anyone recommend a car rental in Moscow with good conditions and reasonable prices? I need it for two weeks.

In the states, biodegradable plastic ware is quite common. This means that such plastic is not produced from petroleum, but from renewable plant-based materials or decomposes without harming the environment (like calcium carbonate, for instance). In the photo, for example, there is bioceramics – a mug made of calcium carbonate (not disposable, suitable for microwave, withstands temperature, weighs like plastic). There is also clear bioplastic made from PBC available via the link below http://www.ecozenithusa.com/pbc-disposable-food-containers.html where various packaging, which I initially mistook for regular plastic made from petroleum products (polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene), is quite common. To my surprise, I discovered that biodegradable plastic is used much more frequently than I thought – I find relevant brands and markings on very many products here, in the USA. Some are made from corn and sugarcane (polylactide, PLA), some from plant starch, and others from cellulose. Such production is much more expensive, but there are significant tax breaks, so the transition is gradually happening.

For some reason, women’s soccer is very popular here. I mean, boys seem to be more into other things. When you see a boy playing, it’s almost always a mixed team – with both boys and girls. But I have yet to encounter adult men playing soccer on the street.

In Russia, street soccer was becoming more associated with migrant workers for me.

A photo from the playground near my house. It looks like some club has rented it out.

Very interesting. The year 1928. It says that alcohol affects the body much more destructively than cosmetics, and that the latter affects the girl, unlike alcohol, not directly but “insidiously”. And many other pieces of advice from the past.

So you study English for the last 28 years, and suddenly a completely unfamiliar grammar topic comes up –

I have never heard you sing.

I heard her come up the steps.

I saw her run into the house.

What I would like is for things to get better.

She had me cook, or at least try to.

She had my watch fixed.

Friends, the declaration must be submitted for 2014 as a sole proprietor – if there is anyone among you who can answer a couple of questions, I would be very grateful.

A hotel for $473 for two days, without breakfast and with internet for an extra fee ($10 per day). Not everything in America is explicable.

Yesterday, I had a dream for the first time where I was speaking to someone in English. Interestingly, it wasn’t something abstract, but rather a thing controlled by consciousness: recognizing mistakes, understanding where and why they occurred, correcting them, there were pauses when I was searching for words. Funny how all of this is arranged there, in the head 🙂
