The southern part of France alongside the Mediterranean Sea. Since the 19th century it has developed as a resort area. The two main jewels of the French Riviera - Nice and Cannes.
Google originated from the mispronounced word "googol," which is the number 1 followed by 100 zeros. Initially Google was merely the subject of Larry Page's dissertation; today it is a company with a turnover of $16.6 billion and 19,604 employees.
This story will not be about occupational segregation, but rather about the fact that women and men are different not only from a physiological standpoint, but also in terms of perceptual characteristics. The last century started something of a plague called gender equality. Probably - not without reason. Yet in my mature male mind, something doesn't quite add up about the restriction tied to employee selection...
At the upper open viewing platform everyone can explore in which direction one can see, for example, the forests of Latvia, or how far Berlin is from Munamägi, etc. Riia, i.e. Riga, is 200 km from Munamägi.
The name Monaco is certainly associated with Formula 1, the Monaco Grand Prix, as the races take place on the city's streets, where people walk every day and traffic flows. The Monte Carlo Casino, visited by the world's wealthiest, most famous, and most gambling-prone people. Casino visitors should expect to hand over any photo and video equipment to the guards...
What do we know and what stereotypes never stop following us when we utter the word - Moscow?

Dance as a physical activity, a developer of posture, balance and movement, and a creator of physical freedom, relaxation, and outer and inner peace. Dana (meaning "black pearl" in Lebanese Arabic) has been practising belly dancing for more than 5 years.

She also teaches and passes on to others her knowledge of Egyptian and Arabic dance choreographies and the skill of expressing her feminine allure through dance.
Experience shows that each of us develops a wider or narrower circle of acquaintances, but true friends are only a few, or even just one (a genuine one). Most interestingly, those "real" friends come precisely from childhood, from school or student years. It is in youth, when a person actively absorbs information, develops new skills and abilities, forms or consolidates values, that lasting relationships are also formed.
In the summer of 2007 we visited this crystal museum, which was actually located underground, beneath the green hill - a man with crystal eyes and where words flow - mountain water. The museum consists of a foyer and 13 rooms. Each has its own theme, its own name and, of course, crystals, crystals, crystals.
This is one of those books I read with a pencil in hand, pausing frequently to underline a passage or draw an exclamation or question mark in the margin. It is also one of those books I picked up again a year after reading it.

In my view it is suitable both in that professional sense and more generally for building relationships with others and with oneself.
