— Theater in Russia has always been the second university, department and Germany of the democratic and liberal views of the Russian intelligentsia and ordinary people.
It seems to me that the theater should not drop this flag of the struggle for freedom, for sincerity, for decency, for honesty and service to those ideals that may never be realized, but, nevertheless, one must strive for them!
Modern theater has nothing to do with feelings and strives only to entertain the audience and nothing more. Once it arises, of course, it is possible, but there must be something in it that you can think about or feel... Here the theater gives the ideal in the name of which it was created and exists!

An analysis of events shows that the security systems and allies we have relied on for many years have set themselves the task of exposing our vulnerability and justifying the impossibility of the Armenian people to have an independent state (Nikol Pashinyan) [analysis, events, security] [09/26/2023 01:41:58]

A victory is a victory, but Russia will remain where it currently remains. Therefore, we will have an enemy as long as our northern neighbor is next to us. We must always be prepared for this resistance. (Anna Malyar) [victory, russia, will] [09/26/2023 01:08:30]

We are talking about safe business activities and safe working conditions. That enterprises must operate and pay taxes in accordance with Ukrainian legislation, ensure the professional growth of their employees, organize the work of trade union organizations, and ensure safe product quality. And, ultimately, to guarantee the right of business entities to defend their rights in court. (Rostislav Zamlinsky) [business, activities, taxes] [09/25/2023 18:27:08]

Saudi billionaire Adnan Kashoggi. It is one of the largest arms dealers in the world, allegedly linked to international crime families. By the way, Dodi’s love of love takes after his uncle, who adores elite “priestesses of love.” Sir Paul McCartney's ex-wife Heather Mills was also spotted in his company. Kashoggi was even included in the Guinness Book of Records. In 1982, he gave his ex-wife Soraya $874 million in compensation. This was considered the largest publicly announced amount paid in a divorce. Diana seemed to be expecting a child from Dodi. The blood relationship of the future heir to the throne with such a family is clearly not to the liking of the Windsors. (Gennady Sokolov) [world, crime, love] [09/24/2023 19:17:55]

The queen, alas, is not eternal. When he passes into another world, the throne will be taken not by her husband Philip, also now a very elderly man, but by Prince Charles. Diana's eldest son automatically becomes heir to the throne. And how can it be allowed for the mother of the future king of Great Britain to marry a Muslim womanizer with a dubious reputation? And his father annoyed many people in Foggy Albion. Despite investing millions into the country's economy, he never received British citizenship. By marrying his son to Diana, he hoped to strengthen his position in society or at least hit the English high society and authorities on the nose.

The investigation, both French and English, followed the given scenario, like a knife through butter. “Cleaners” from the special services swept almost to the horizon any traces of the crime that had been accidentally left behind, so that the court would be “objective” and recognize the incident as unintentional murder. And so it happened. The conspiracy version was completely stripped of any concrete and effective evidence for the court. That is why, I think, the case of Princess Diana will remain for a long time the unsolved mystery of the century. (Gennady Sokolov) [investigation, english, services] [09/24/2023 19:15:09]

Immediately after the tragedy, according to British sociologists, only a quarter of the British population was ready to believe in a conspiracy against Lady Di. Now, judging by polls, 94% of the British believe in deliberate murder. And this is after two official investigations! (Gennady Sokolov) [population, ready, conspiracy] [09/24/2023 19:05:19]

One of the difficulties in getting to the bottom of the poor prospects for retirement is that the policy and intellectual elites, including corporate leadership, who are dealing with this problem, rarely have the same difficulties as the great majority of middle-income Americans.

I personally make sure that some of my investments are in foreign securities or in international commodity portfolios that are independent of the US dollar. But that's a personal preference. I do not invest in currencies because it's so complicated and so risky. I would not attempt that without excellent professional help.

If the experts are right in their calculations, then we face the prospect of millions of people retiring into poverty from the American middle class in the years ahead. That has all kinds of social and economic consequences. We need to anticipate those and start tackling the problem in a constructive way. (Hedrick Smith) [experts, right, face] [09/24/2023 03:46:53]

One of the strongest lessons I learned in doing six months of work on retirement topic was how absolutely crucial the Social Security system is for the great mass of Americans. The research of professionals and our own reporting convinced me that many millions of people are not capable of effectively managing the finances for their own retirement.

The most common mistakes were investing in money market funds by people who were so scared at the prospect of managing their own funds that they picked the most conservative option, and their investments did not keep up with inflation. The second major mistake was being too heavily invested in their own company's stock, and buying when it was high and there was a lot of optimism about the company, and then having to sell it low when the company got in trouble.

The retirement financial crisis will affect far more people than baby boomers, and certainly it will affect their children. Most of the retirees and near-retirees with whom we talked, said that they were extremely reluctant to have to depend on their children financially, or to think of moving in with their children. But the mere fact that they were discussing those issues indicates that some of them have already figured out that that is what lies ahead for them.

It really depends upon how much money you have in your account. Having a monthly paycheck come in for the rest of your life is extremely important. So it would probably be smart to put some of your money into an annuity, which is a way of buying a monthly pension check. (Hedrick Smith) [money, account, rest] [09/24/2023 03:45:53]

The children of baby boomers should take very seriously the consequences for them of the inadequate funding for them of the baby boomer generation. This is a huge economic problem for the nation, not just for individuals or individual families. Think about it for a minute - if retirees become 20% of our population and their purchasing power falls below what has been normal for retirees in the past, one important engine driving our economy will be diminished.

It's usually much easier for people with professional skills to find work for themselves or even possibly to continue with their old employer, but on a part-time basis. Some labor economists predict that in about five years there will be a labor shortage in the United States and that demand for retirees to work part-time will grow naturally. I don't know if that's true or just wishful predicting. (Hedrick Smith) [people, find, work] [09/24/2023 03:45:11]

The issue of the pension gap has got to become visible and important to millions of people before Washington will respond seriously. Right now, everyone thinks it's his or her own problem and that individuals have to do better and save more. Of course, that is true. We all have to save more and take responsibility for our own retirement. But we have a huge social and economic problem on our hands. (Hedrick Smith) [pension, people, will] [09/24/2023 03:45:00]

It's probably also smart to keep some money in cash to invest it. But I would resist at all costs taking a lump-sum distribution because the tendency is to spend out too fast in the early years of your retirement. The advice of professionals is to take out no more than 5% per year and that will give you 20 years of distributions, and at your age, 55, you probably have more than 20 years life expectancy.
