I noticed this earlier in French, and today in English as well. Both Americans and French use the same translation for “to rent out an apartment” and “to rent an apartment” – to rent an apartment / louer un appartement.

It’s usually clear either from the context or a subsequent clarification:

rent sth to sb – to rent out to someone (can be used without a preposition)

rent sth from sb – to rent from someone (again, can be without a preposition)

In French, as I understood, the preposition à is used in the same context: louer un appartement à ses parents. Is that right, Anna Derevenitckaia?

It happened near Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch, on Anglesey in Wales, four years ago, by the walls of Beaumaris Castle.

At the coast, we stopped for a snack — there were designated tables and a sign explicitly prohibiting the feeding of seagulls. But no sooner had I pulled a cheese sandwich out of my bag than a huge seagull swooped down to the table, grabbed the bread, and flew off to finish it. The bread had a hard crust, and I was a bit worried about it: she swallowed it right away and, of course, it got stuck there. But no worries, the bird was used to it and managed to deal with it within a minute and flew away somewhere.

That’s all from me

Perhaps among my friends there’s a Word guru? If I make “Heading 1” with a 3 cm hanging indent and a -3 cm indent, then save it in Normal.dotm through importing/exporting of the styles, so all new documents are created with this style, why do all properties except the indents and hanging indents save? They remain as they were before – standard (1.9 cm). Can it be true that Word doesn’t save indents and hanging indents as part of the style in a document template? I can’t believe it…

Friends-skiers-snowboarders, especially those from Saint Petersburg, can anyone share some good/bad things about Korobitsyno, Krasnoye Lake? I’m thinking about going there for New Year’s on my own. I’m particularly interested in where to stay – looking for something affordable and cozy.

Update: rented a small house in Korobitsyno, will be there from the 30th to the 2nd

Went out for a run, the first song on Yandex. Radio – Leningrad’s Healthy Lifestyle. Lamburt Victor, you have some very smart personalization. Meanwhile, Google hints that I usually head to the piano keys around this time, and there are no traffic jams.

Interestingly:

“Simultaneously with the return of Crimea to Russia and the commencement of work to ensure its energy independence from Ukraine, work has started in the Baltic Sea to ensure the Baltic region’s energy independence from Russia.

For this purpose, in April 2014 (concurrently with the “Crimean spring”), the installation of an electric power cable from Sweden to Lithuania along the bottom of the Baltic Sea began.

The cable is 450 km (280 miles) long, with 400 km laid along the sea bed. The cable’s capacity is calculated at 700 MWt. The work to lay the 400-kilometer submarine cable began in April 2014,

On June 9, 2015, the cable laying was completed.

It should be noted that through the most challenging deep-water section of the Baltic Sea extending 150 km, the cable was laid in three months from April 6 to June 9, 2015. The “NordBalt” energy bridge is planned to be commissioned in a couple of weeks in December this year.

Parameters of this energy bridge:

Capacity — 700 MWt

Length of the submarine part — 400 km

Installation period — 14 months

Now to the Kerch energy bridge:

Capacity of the first phase — 400 MWt

Length of the submarine part — 16 km

Installation period –???

Unfortunately, our Kerch energy bridge project is not even close to the NordBalt in terms of parameters or construction timeline. It turns out that Russia lacks a cable industry capable of producing high-voltage cables. Such an industry existed in Imperial Russia, and even more so in the Soviet Union. But in the rising Russian Federation, the industry is unable to supply the necessary cable, and therefore it was necessary to turn to China for the cable and services for its installation. Meanwhile, some experts doubt the adequacy of the quality of the Chinese high-voltage cable and therefore it is not excluded that after its submersion accidents may occur.
