Initially South Africa was of interest for just one attraction - the penguin colony at Boulders Beach. Now another significant aspect has appeared: wines. Although winemaking traditions there are not as ancient as in the good old Europe, South Africa today has claimed an important place and accounts for around 3% of the total global wine market.
A year ago, when I purchased this book by Radislav Gandapas, it never even occurred to me that this year I would have the good fortune to attend a training session led by him in Moscow. Back then it was the book's subtitle that spoke to me - "Ten chapters on how to gain and provide maximum pleasure and delight when speaking in public"; now I was fascinated by the author's ability to hold an entire audience at the peak of interest for a whole day.
People can be not only intelligent or unintelligent, but also courageous/shy, tidy/untidy, precise/sloppy, punctual/absent-minded, and endowed with other qualities besides. However much one might wish to be assessed as a person, it is precisely as a person that you are assessed. Not your knowledge, education, appearance, or communication skills, but all of these together. Only each employer assigns their own weight to each of these components.
One wants to read books when feeling a little lonely and sad. A conversation arises with the characters the author has created, a conversation with the angel and the demon within oneself. Another insight: we do not truly choose books - they choose us. The right book arrives like a sign, like an answer to your questions, arrives at the right moment when you can devote enough attention to it.
This is one of the few well-organised national-scale events that I try to attend every year, as it provides plenty of inspiration for work and positive emotions from watching and listening to stories of sales success. The competition evaluates the growth of the entrant's company, the role of the specific sales manager within it, and their personality.
This time I decided to gather ideas for simple yet original ways to decorate a home, garden, picnic spot, or romantic evening venue. I think it's always handy to have a few tricks up one's sleeve for creating a festive mood - for yourself and others. What's more, summer is a very accommodating season in terms of materials, weather conditions, and choice of location.
I recommend a new, interesting web project - www.partikasguru.lv - which is essentially a food guide with aggregated information from various sources about one essential part of our lives - food. Here, information is updated daily on food quality, consumer prices, recipes, product groups, seasonality and its effect on product variation in our diet, and more. The main advantage of this site is that everything is in one place, easily browsable and findable - by article sections, keywords or using the search tool.
The story of how I became one of the members of the heavy metal - or rather rock - band "RumStoned". In fact what I want to tell is the story of a lovely, successful corporate event that was thematic, carefully planned, interactive - with almost everyone participating, including from all regional offices - and that generated a great deal of positive emotion.

Continuing the topic of human body proportions, this time I will focus more on the details - the characterisation of fingers and nails. Although everything must always be viewed as a whole - shape, flexibility, colouring, spread, and proportions - here are some initial schematic observations about finger types.
Returning home from the concert, we found that 1,500 shots had been saved to the camera's memory. Some time was needed to choose the best from the good and the very best from the best. The girls' costumes and graceful poses outdid one another - but judge and evaluate for yourselves in the photo gallery below.
