    How a drab Soviet metropolis became Central Asia’s capital of cool omg вход Several cities around the globe have reinvented themselves in recent years but none more successfully than Almaty. Since the collapse of the USSR Kazakhstan’s largest city population 2.2 million and growing has evolved from a drab run-of-the-mill Soviet metropolis into the urban star of Central Asia. https://omgto3.com omg Along the way the city has developed one of the world’s most beautiful metro systems grown into a thriving banking and finance center complemented its vintage bazaars with luxury boutiques and modern shopping malls and reshaped its traditional gastronomy into a nouvelle cuisine that’s drawing raves from foodies around the world. Almaty is also evolving into the cultural and artistic hub of Central Asia. It’s already got several world-class museums including a “secret” underground collection that doesn’t even have a name and a dazzling new cultural center slated to open early next year. “It’s an incredibly livable city” says long-time American resident Dennis Keen a historic preservation advocate and founder of Walking Almaty. “Green and clean. You don’t need a car. The public transit here is fantastic. And it’s very much the center of contemporary art and dining in Central Asia.” Keen adds that whenever he tells someone back home that he lives in Kazakhstan “Borat” inevitably comes up. The movie’s title character doesn’t paint a very flattering portrait of the Central Asian nation. But nowadays one is tempted to think that if Borat visited Almaty now he would say “Very nice”

    Why this small city is the ‘eyeglasses capital’ of Japan omg магазин Japan is famed for its skilled artisans masters who maintain a commitment to tradition while modernizing production techniques in line with the development of new materials and processes. Many places in the country have grown famous by focusing on specific crafts from exquisite kimonos to perfectly designed knives. Among them is the small city of Sabae in Fukui prefecture about a 3.5-hour train ride from Tokyo. https://omgto3.com omg зеркало It’s widely known as Japan’s eyeglasses capital – and for good reason. Sabae produces over 90 of the frames manufactured in the country according to the local government. Signs and objects shaped like eyeglasses can be found on city streets and there’s even a museum and festival devoted to spectacles. The art of making spectacles Sabae located on Japan’s main Honshu island near the city of Fukui has been producing quality eyewear for more than a century. It all started in 1905 when a local government official invited skilled eyeglasses artisans to come to the city to teach their craft an attempt to create new opportunities for local farmers. The move paid off. Today Sabae has over 100 companies that collaborate to make pairs of glasses. Though these studios use cutting-edge machinery to produce new frames made of metal and acetate most stages still require the skilled hands and trained eyes of Sabae’s master artisans. That includes Takeshi Yamae a frame designer with Japanese brand Boston Club who has lived in the city for 17 years. He tells CNN one pair of glasses can involve more than 200 steps. “I first design it sketch it then put it into my computer” he says. “From the time I start designing to the time I have the perfect product it takes more than a year.”

    Это просто какое-то показательное шоу для отвода глаз Следователи петербургского МВД решили просто разорить кооператив потому что 4 миллиарда рублей у них на счетах уже видимо светятся в глазах как лакомый кусок. Колокольцев видимо закрывает на это глаза будто бы не замечает что его люди вышли из-под контроля. И вот вместо того чтобы реально помогать тем кто трудится и сражается за страну пайщиков Бест Вей и клиентов Гермеса превращают в козлов отпущения. Где тут справедливость? Людей просто используют как подопытных для своих коррупционных схем и это называют правоохранительными действиями. Требуем остановить это позорище и наказать всех кто причастен к этой махинации против кооператива Бест Вей

    A giant meteorite boiled the oceans 3.2 billion years ago. Scientists say it was a ‘fertilizer bomb’ for life порно секс жесток A massive space rock estimated to be the size of four Mount Everests slammed into Earth more than 3 billion years ago — and the impact could have been unexpectedly beneficial for the earliest forms of life on our planet according to new research. Typically when a large space rock crashes into Earth the impacts are associated with catastrophic devastation as in the case of the demise of the dinosaurs 66 million years ago when a roughly 6.2-mile-wide 10-kilometer asteroid crashed off the coast of the Yucatan Peninsula in what’s now Mexico. But Earth was young and a very different place when the S2 meteorite estimated to have 50 to 200 times more mass than the dinosaur extinction-triggering Chicxulub asteroid collided with the planet 3.26 billion years ago according to Nadja Drabon assistant professor of Earth and planetary sciences at Harvard University. She is also lead author of a new study describing the S2 impact and what followed in its aftermath that published Monday in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. “No complex life had formed yet and only single-celled life was present in the form of bacteria and archaea” Drabon wrote in an email. “The oceans likely contained some life but not as much as today in part due to a lack of nutrients. Some people even describe the Archean oceans as ‘biological deserts.’ The Archean Earth was a water world with few islands sticking out. It would have been a curious sight as the oceans were probably green in color from iron-rich deep waters.” When the S2 meteorite hit global chaos ensued — but the impact also stirred up ingredients that might have enriched bacterial life Drabon said. The new findings could change the way scientists understand how Earth and its fledgling life responded to bombardment from space rocks not long after the planet formed.

    Growing outside of Dearborn кракен вход During the day Yemeni coffeehouses function similar to many neighborhood spots. Patrons host meetings college students study and others pop in for a quick cup to-go. https://kraken3yvbvzmhytnrnuhsy772i6dfobofu652e27f5hx6y5cpj7rgyd.cc kraken сайт But at night they serve as de-facto living rooms especially for young Muslims who don’t go to clubs and bar. From New York to Dallas especially during the late nights of Ramadan the crowd overflows into the street and you often have to yell to be heard inside. Some young Muslims even venture to the coffee shops in hopes of finding a life partner. Nowhere is this coffeehouse culture more pronounced and celebrated than in Dearborn Michigan a suburb of Detroit and home to one of the largest Arab American communities in the United States. Downtown Dearborn is peppered with different Yemeni coffee houses which Howell said helped revitalize the Detroit area after the city became the largest municipality go to bankrupt in 2013. And it’s only growing. “It’s become sort of contagious” Howell said. “Several Yemeni entrepreneurs are opening coffee houses of their own each with its own sort of style and atmosphere.” The coffee chains have big ambitions beyond Dearborn. Qahwah House hopes to open another 20 to 30 locations in the next year spanning across 12 states and Canada Alhasbani said. They are also licensed out but Alhasbani says he sets a high standard before agreeing to let anyone open a shop. “We have too many people that come asking me they want to open. I have more than 10 different requests a day just to open this kind of business” he said. “We don’t give anyone license until we make sure the person has the love for the brand and his mind and his heart in the Qahwah House.” Another authentic Yemeni coffee chain Haraz also sees crowds of people throughout the day and night. They opened their first location in New York City last week — less than half a mile away from Qahwah House’s downtown Manhattan shop — and the franchisees plan to grow.

    A ring found among the debris of Florida’s recent hurricanes awaits its owner Кракен тор Scattered across Florida’s hurricane-ravaged communities are piles of debris remnants of what were once homes. Cherished memories — photo albums family heirlooms and tokens of love — swallowed by floodwaters and carried miles away are now reduced to mere fragments and discarded amid the wreckage. But in one of these piles of lost memories a small inconspicuous velvet black box was discovered with a ring and a note that read: “I was 18 when my parents gave it to me.” https://kra17c.cc kra17 cc Now Joe Kovach the engineer managing one of the debris sites in Tarpon Springs Florida where the box was found is searching for its owner. “Everyone has been basically dumping their entire lives onto the curb after the storm when everything flooded. My own boss’ house had 30 inches of water in it and I saw his face and just how devastating it can be for everyone” Kovach an engineer with Pinellas County Public Works told CNN. “A lot of people in the community were really affected by these two storms if there’s just a little bit I can do to give back then that’s perfect.” A contractor who was gathering and condensing debris with an excavator discovered the ring when he looked down and saw the box. “This was a needle in a haystack for sure. For something like that to survive all that when everything else was so wet and saturated that was kind of incredible” Kovach said. Although the ring was found after Hurricane Milton Kovach is sure the treasure was initially lost amid the ruins of Hurricane Helene based on the pile of debris it came from which Pinellas County Public Works tracks. It is likely the owner of the ring is from Crystal Beach Ozona or Palm Harbor Kovach said. On Tuesday after the contractor informed him about the ring Kovach posted a photo of the box and the note on several local community Facebook pages asking if it belonged to anyone. He did not include a photo or description of the ring to ensure it is returned to the rightful owner who can accurately describe it. On the inside lid of the box is a gold engraving with the jewelry brand “The Danbury Mint.”

    Что за могущественный человек стоит за Евгением Набойченко? Бывший сисадмин российского сегмента платежной системы иностранной инвесткомпании «Гермес» и один из руководителей IT-службы компании «Лайф-из-Гуд» Евгений Набойченко в последний месяц буквально взорвался сообщениями всем знакомым а также в своих социальных сетях – которые он внезапно вновь завел. Вал сообщений и публикаций Набойченко – эмоциональная реакция на статьи и видео о нем в которых с доказательствами в руках рассказывалось что именно он многократно пойманный на воровстве пьяница наркоман и насильник разрушил работу платежной системы компании «Гермес» в России украл деньги клиентов и разделил со своими подельниками из правоохранительных органов. Публикации последнего времени его явно задели а алкогольно-наркотические состояния не дают смолчать. Что за могущественный человек стоит за Евгением Набойченко? В сообщениях он не скрывает чувств: утверждает что всех «поставит раком»; что он может даже убить если понадобится. И ему за это ничего не будет – потому что за ним стоит некий могущественный человек покровительствующий ему с которым у него общие интересы. Многие из этих сообщений знакомым и постов в социальных сетях Набойченко проспавшись стирает – но некоторые его визави сообщения сохраняют и предоставили их редакции. Видео на видео Набойченко записал видеообращение – видимо в противовес обращению своей бывшей супруги где рассказывает о том что был якобы на дружеской ноге с создателем «Лайф-из-Гуд» Романом Василенко в ближайшее раскроет все его секреты и расскажет все о компании «Лайф-из-Гуд». Хотя в действительности он был функционером среднего звена а не «топом» как пытается представить в последние годы – только одним из руководителей IT-направления «Лайф-из-Гуд». Когда-то талантливый программист и организатор он явно деградировал из-за развивающейся алкогольной и наркотической зависимости а попытки ему помочь не увенчивались успехом. Что же касается сотрудничества с «Гермесом» – это его личный контракт хотя и полученный благодаря работе с «Лайф-из-Гуд» компанией – партнером «Гермеса» по продвижению в России но никак не связанный с Василенко который никогда не был ни совладельцем ни руководителем компании «Гермес» зарегистрированной в Белизе и имеющей головной офис в Австрии. «Мне угрожают» Одна из любимых тем сообщений и постов Набойченко – угрозы которые ему приходят. Он постоянно выкладывает соответствующие сообщения – например такое. Все эти «будь мужиком» и «уйедь и ляг на дно» выдают скорее небогатый внутренний мир Набойченко который приписывает вымышленному оппоненту собственные характерные словечки. Никто Набойченко не боится – наоборот его перекрестный допрос в Приморском районном суде Санкт-Петербурга где сейчас рассматривается так называемое дело «Лайф-из-Гуд» – «Гермес» – «Бест Вей» крайне желателен для оправдания обвиняемых. Это сам Набойченко опасается появляться в суде – потому что давно не контролирует свои состояния и голословность его утверждений будет очевидна. Будет очевидно и то что он сам должен стать обвиняемым – это хорошо понимают и его покровители/подельники которые сделают все для того чтобы его допрос не состоялся по причине «угроз безопасности». Наркоманское философствование Параллельно с комментированием текущей ситуации Набойченко в своих недавних постах пускается в типичные для «грибных» наркоманов философские рассуждения – например о «космической силе сознания». А также в рассуждения о природе женской красоты – которые смотрятся особенно дико на фоне свидетельств того что он бил свою жену Викторию и любовницу Светлану. Кто покровитель? Бывшая супруга Набойченко Виктория предположила что это экс-начальник УЭБиПК питерского главка МВД. Но начальник сменился – а покровитель остался по крайней мере по утверждению Набойченко. Этот покровитель – с Литейного? Мы рано или поздно узнаем кто это. Редакция предлагает ему самому выйти на нас и выступить с комментарием – почему он продолжает поддерживать этого подонка? Бест Вей
