реферирование ангfinding a partner has always been a complicated process. it is a ritual which has evolved over the centuries; from a man taking food to a prospective partner in the stone age to young couples having tea together in victorian times (under the watchful eye of an unmarried aunt) to dancing in a club to deafening music in the twenty-first century. but now busy men and women who don’t have the time for a slow, gentle courtship have a quicker way to find a partner: speed dating, where single people have exactly three minutes to decide if the person they are talking to could be mr or ms right . the idea, which started in the usa, involves bringing together people for an evening of frenzied, ‘quick-fire’ dating . this is how it works. small tables are placed in a line and the women sit down at the one which has been given to them. they stay at their table all evening. the men take it in turns to sit next to each woman and have a very quick conversation. after three minutes a bell rings and, even if you are in mid-sentence, it is time for the man to move to the next table. if you like the person you have just spoken to, you put a tick in the ‘yes’ box on a scorecard . if the other person chooses you as well, this is called a ‘match’, and the organisers will send you the other person’s email address a couple of days later and they will be sent yours too. ‘three minutes is enough time to talk to someone,’ says adele testani, who runs a speed dating company, ‘because you can get an idea of what a person is like in that time and you can eliminate them if you see immediately that they’re not your type .’ britain’s largest ever speed dating evening took place this week at the hydro bar in london, so i decided to go along and see what it was all about. i pretended to be a single 24-year-old lawyer… when i arrived at the hydro bar, the women, who were wearing fashionable dresses and smart suits, were giggling nervously as they put on badges with a number on them. ‘maybe my jeans are a bad idea,’ i thought. i chatted to other people while we waited. people i spoke to said they had doubled the number of dates they had in a year with just one night of speed dating. the men included a chef, a banker, a photographer, an engineer, a management consultant, and a novelist. they were just pleased they could stop having to try to chat up strangers in bars: ‘it’s so hard to meet girls in london. with speed dating you meet 20 or 30 single girls in one night,’ said one man. ‘you can’t talk to girls at salsa classes,’ said another. matt, 28, said, ‘after doing this once i got several dates. there’s a good atmosphere; it’s safe and it’s really good. it’s like being at a party with lots of single women.’ then it started. i made eye contact with the girl next to me so we could compare our opinions of the men; we raised our eyebrows for a possibility, exchanged a smile if the man was good-looking, and made a grimace if he made three minutes feel like three hours. i thought it was boring just to ask questions like ‘what do you do
for traditional stores, online shopping has become a cause for concern in a difficult retail environment. the internet is accounting for more spending than ever. in addition, it also makes it easier for consumers to compare prices in across a far bigger selection of items than a trip to the high street. 'the way the internet encourages people to shop about is having a big impact on the market,' says nick gladding of verdict research, a consultancy. internet retailers have been able to offer cut- throat prices because they do not have to bear the cost of running a physical shop. price-comparison websites, such as kelkoo, where a shopper can compare compare prices on any product from dvds to prada perfume to get the best deal, make the market even more competitive. 'it is a lot more competitive online because you are always just one click away from a rival,' says a ceo. retailers selling electrical goods have been particularly hit by the internet, as items such as televisions and dvd players become more common purchases. this creates a dilemma for retailers who sell products both online and in shops. some bricks-and-roortar retailers are adopting a model of dual pricing in order to keep their position online while maintainig margins in their shops. mr gladding says dual pricing will become harder to practise as consumers become better at surfing the internet, 'in the longer run, prices must come together,' he says. to be successful in operating in the online and offline world, retailers should probably try to integrate the two as much as possible. some businesses, for example, have set up their operation to allow customers to shop online, over the telephone or in stores.
the elsdon murder (the following story, which in the main is true, shows generally the duties of a boy scout.) a brutal murder took place many years ago in the north of england. the murderer was caught and hanged chiefly through the scoutcraft of a shepherd boy. woodcraft – the boy, robert hindmarsh, had been up on the moor tending his sheep, and was finding his way home over a wild out-of-the-way part of the hills, when he passed a tramp sitting on the ground with his legs stretched out in front of him eating some food. observation – the boy in passing noticed the tramp’s appearance, and especially the peculiar nails in the soles of his boots. concealment – he did not stop and stare, but just took in these details at a glance as he went by without attracting much attention from the man, who merely regarded him as an ordinary boy. deduction – when the boy got near home, some five or six miles away, he came to a crowd round a cottage. the old woman (margaret crozier) who inhabited it had been found murdered. all sorts of guesses were made about who had done the deed, and suspicion seemed to centre on a small gang of three or four tramps who were going about the country robbing and threatening death to anyone who made any report of their misdeeds. the boy heard all these things. then he noticed some peculiar footprints in the little garden of the cottage. the nailmarks agreed with those he had seen in the boots of the man on the moor, and he naturally deduced that the man might have something to do with the murder. chivalry – the fact that it was a helpless old woman who had been murdered made the boy’s chivalrous feeling rise against the murderer, whoever he might be. pluck and self-discipline – so, although he knew that the friends of the murderer might kill him for giving information, he cast his fears aside. he went at once to the constable and told him of the footmarks in the garden, and where he could find the man who had made them—if he went immediately. health and strength – the man up on the moor had got so far from the scene of the murder, unseen, except by the boy, that he thought himself safe, and never thought of the boy being able to walk all the way to the scene of the murder and then to come back, as he did, with the police. but the boy was a strong, healthy hill-boy, and did the journey rapidly and well, so that they found the man and captured him without difficulty. the man was willie winter. he was tried, found guilty, and hanged at newcastle. his body was then brought and hung near the scene of the murder, as was the custom in those days. kind-heartedness – but when the boy saw the murderer’s body hanging there he was overcome with misery at having caused the death of a fellow creature. saving life – however, the magistrate sent for him and complimented him on the great good he had done to his fellow countrymen, probably saving some of their lives, by ridding the world of such a dangerous criminal. duty – he said: “you have done your duty, although it caused you personally some danger and much distress. still, you must not mind that. it was your duty to help the police in getting justice done, and duty must always be carried out regardless of how much it costs you, even if you have to give up your life.” example – thus the boy did every part of the duty of a boy scout. he exercised–woodcraft; observation without being noticed; deduction; chivalry; sense of duty; kindheartedness. he never thought that the act which he had done would years afterwards be held up as an example to other boys in teaching them to do their duty. in the same way, you should remember that your acts may be watched by others after you, and taken as an example too. so try to do your duty the right way on all occasions.
i’ve been living on the streets ever since i was sixteen years old, when i ran away from my foster home. my parents died when i was very young so i went into foster care. it wasn’t so bad but i wanted to make it on my own. i stayed on friends’ couches at first, but eventually their parents grew tired of having me around. so, i caught a train to london, thinking that it would be easier to survive in the big city. how wrong could i be! i tried to find a job but no one would take me on without a fixed address. i slept in a cheap в & в for a few nights, but then my money ran out and i spent my first night in a sleeping bag on a park bench. i’ll never forget how alone i felt that night. i lay awake, terrified and shivering with cold
кении окна другое окно макросы 17 texts for home reading text 1 credits a. read and translate the text. 1 like everything else under capitalism, the crediting and credit card system is simple. a store, a filling station or just a credit company allow you credit, its limit of depending on your solvency which they calculate somehow (incidentally, on the basis of the information you give them). having opened a credit account, they send you a plastic card bearing your name, account number and a blank for your signature. wherever credit cards are accepted, the cost of your purchases and of the services rendered are put on the account indicated on it. 2 every month the company which has issued you the credit card sends you a report on your expenses. the report tells you how much of the credit you have used up. and recommends the minimum of your expenses to be defrayed before the end of the month. you may pay out the lump sum, which is a clever thing to do because payments by installments will include a certain interest agreed upon in advance and recorded in your application for credit. this interest usually exceeds the bank credit rate. 3 after you have exhausted the credit, your card will no longer buy you anything. in that case you can use it as soon as you have paid for everything. this system is not only simple but convenient as well. you don't have to carry cash, even a checkbook. theoretically, your credit cards pay all your expenses: food, gas. clothes, car rentals, hotel bills, airlines and health resort bills. 4 another convenience of this arrangement consists in that you can start paying for your purchases within a month of making it. the latent psychological trick is. however, that one is more likely- to go on a spending spree if all one3 has to do by way of paying is to show his credit card instead of shelling out cash. credit card holders buy more, as a rule. 5 credit cards are just a means by which a mighty western credit system has penetrated into everyday life and into the budget of the average american family. being a fragment of that system, credit cards are its graphic illustration. there is hardly a sphere of the capitalist economy which credits haven't found their way into. homes, consumer goods, planes, college instruction, industrial equipment, farm machines, fertilizers, land. ad, factory and office blocks - all these are purchased on credit. without credits, modern capitalism will not last a day. without them. the western economy would not have been as dynamic as it is now: by governing its material and financial resources, credits stimulate their turnover. it is" due to such system that the western economy has achieved the results which we admire today. the credit system plus enterprise is the core of american capitalism

реферирование английского текста онлайнaisha had been very successful managing her team in edinburgh and was asked by the company to lead a remote team for an important two-year project. keen to demonstrate her leadership abilities to the head office, aisha got her team members together for a remote meeting. but right from that first meeting, she realised that this was going to be a different challenge. for a start, archie was late for the meeting by about 15 minutes because of 'technical problems'. lucia kept asking about really specific details, while aisha was hoping to use the meeting to get to know the team members and identify priorities. archie and lucia kept accidentally talking at the same time, and when they didn't speak, there was an uncomfortable silence. valentina hardly said a word. no one had their cameras on, so there was none of the usual communication through body language or facial expressions. without these visual clues, aisha had no idea whether people were interested, lost, confused or bored. by the end of the meeting, aisha didn't feel like she had achieved much of her agenda and wasn't sure what people had understood. she wondered how she was going to build trust and encourage bonding in her team. as companies continue to think globally, and as modern-day technology makes remote working easier, remote teams have become common. instant messaging, videoconferencing and other web-based tools all help. but communication via modern technology is not without its problems. meetings, essential for team bonding and working together effectively, can be particularly challenging online. aside from having to coordinate people in different time zones and ensuring that no one is multitasking and getting distracted, meetings on virtual platforms are not always helpful for good communication. as seen from aisha's example, videoconferencing is often characterised by uncomfortable silences and people talking over each other. so what can managers of remote teams do to improve meetings and encourage successful team bonding

онлайн переводчик руссна нашей родной планете существует огромное множество различных стран со своими традициями, обычаями и культурой. взаимоотношения между этими культурами и людьми порой довольно натянуты и напряжены, так как, существуют национальные особенности, индивидуальные для каждого народа. не секрет, что те традиции, которые для европейца считаются нормой, совершенно неприемлемы, например, для народов азии. очень важно разбираться в различных тонкостях, которые касаются культурных традиций и особенностей народов мира. ведь несоблюдение этикета, традиций и культурного наследия отдельно взятой страны, может привести к различным конфликтам. сегодня очень важно, чтобы народы мира сохраняли свои традиции, а не поддавались влиянию вездесущей цивилизации. уникальность отдельно взятого народа заключается именно в его культурных особенностях, которые присущи только ему. итак, я хочу рассказать о крымских татарах, начнем: кого на крымско т
