1. Careless fan of Apple paid dearly for his addiction to these modern apples of sin. While many get rid of Apple technology again after that loud statement, Tim cook, others continued as if nothing had happened to print on the MacBook, how to use iPhones and can stay online via iPads.
Here is the result. ITunes just picked up and removed from disk music collection 122 GB:

James Pinkston, the victim of digital tyranny, works as a freelance composer. In his collection had a bunch of rare, obscure versions of songs. Apple without demand pumped out all these songs yourself to the cloud, deleted the copies, which she deemed “unnecessary”, and squeezed the heck out of the original WAV files to AAC and MP3. Lossy, of course.
The analogy. Imagine that you have kept a collection of important photos. You buy the scrapbook at the firm Abacus”, and put your photos there. Returning in the evening from work, you find that instead of the warm paper photo album you have on the table is a photo frame with scanned in not particularly high resolution images, as the originals have already thrown in the trash.
On the question “how should a natural response — you should carefully read the 500-page contract under which you are looking put a tick when buying a photo album. It is stated that the firm “Abacus” has the right to do anything, and under any circumstances not responsible for their actions.
2. Our roads are slowly becoming civilized. The mortality rate in road accidents in Russia has decreased over the last 9 years, 3.5 times, from 28 to 8.2 fatalities per 100 thousand inhabitants:

Here are some statistics for different countries (fatalities per 100 thousand):
Thailand — 38,1
China is 20.5
Armenia — 18,3
Poland — 10.3 per
Bulgaria — 8,3
Russia is 8.2
Portugal — 7,8
Belgium — 6,7
It should also be noted that in different countries different levels of motorization. In the Amazon jungle, a fatal accident is not — but only because the car wasn’t there either, there is a danger for pedestrians are rather live caimans and jaguars than their steel imitators.
If the count statistics are not 100 thousand inhabitants and 100 thousand cars, it will look like this:
Thailand — 230,9
Armenia — 174
China — 69
Russia — 25
Bulgaria — 24
Poland — 21
Portugal — 15
Belgium — 12
3. With great satisfaction stating a fact: the last few years, so Russia is taking educated steps to improve its reputation that our Western friends and partners have let him grinding his teeth, but did endorse our actions.
Here, for example, the concert of Maestro Gergiev in the liberated from terrorists Palmyra:
http://ruslanostashko.livejournal.com/36932.html
The Western media could not write about this event, and the people of the West could not help but notice the striking contrast between the helpless NATO bombing and the real actions of Russia.
It’s funny that the British foreign Secretary called the concert “a bad taste” — like the experienced diplomat was to a degree upset that he completely lost all my composure.
4. By the way, the mayor of London became a Muslim. His name is Sadiq Khan, he comes from a Pakistani family. Previously, Mr. Khan worked as a lawyer and defended the famous terrorists:

The new mayor of London has promised to be a good mayor for all Londoners, regardless of their religion and origin. We wish him success.
Meantime, I want to remind you that in 2010 for the first time in the history of the name “Mohammed” has become the most popular among infants in the UK:
http://www.newsru.com/world/28oct2010/mohammed.html
For comparison — in Moscow, which is often criticised for the dominance of visitors among the popular names of newborns is unusual to the Russian ear the names are not found at all:

5. In six U.S. cities passed the action “Immortal regiment”:
http://politrussia.com/news/v-shesti-gorodakh-682/
Among our turbotito a very widespread negative attitude to immigrants. I think this position is unfair — at least for the reason that we live in a free country, and people have every right to dispose of his life, moving to where they want.
In addition, we must understand that even living overseas, many Russian do not become refined by Americans or Canadians, but the Russians remain, at least partially. It is important our cultural and political resource.
6. Western countries are all bogged down in a swamp POPS. Bonds with negative yields are becoming more.

Look at the painted red part of the chart — now the share of securities with negative yields accounted for 23% of the global market. Negative plague started to infect markets around in the fall of 2014, and a few months ago, the proportion of “negative” papers was twice lower than now.
Simply put, the economies of the West are not just drowning in a swamp POPS: they do it with acceleration.
7. The Israelite came to the shock of visiting the “savings”. It turns out that the familiar service, to which we often even powercivil, in Israel is something special — there on a normal visit to the Bank necessary to lay three hours:

I note, incidentally, that in my experience, domestic banks often are much friendlier to customers than daughters of European banks. Against this background, I am always surprised by the claim to the post of Russia — in comparison with the service of many banks at the post office the service is just lightning fast.
8. American manufacturing continues to fall down. In the US, the level of orders for trucks has fallen to values of the previous wave of the crisis:

With the airline situation is even sadder. On the route Asia-North America air freight declined by as much as 15%:
https://aftershock.news/?q=node/395255
That’s a lot.
9. Before the holiday would do well to recall the critiques of some of the old myths about the War. For example, the analysis of the myth of the Soviet soldier, which allegedly robs the Germans of the bike:
http://varjag-2007.livejournal.com/10041155.html
However, the very existence of such a myth is very significant. Anyone would never have occurred to accuse German or Japanese fascists in the taking away of bicycles — because they are listed a huge number of such monstrous crimes, against which the story of the bike would have looked inappropriate joke.
10. IMF experts point out that for Russia, the worst may already be behind us, but the risks have now shifted to Eastern Europe:
https://aftershock.news/?q=node/395865
I could not agree with IMF experts that “stagnation in the Euro area” will be a severe blow to Eastern European economies. Really no old Europe, these semi-colonial economy can not exist, and old Europe will squeeze the “new Europeans” dry, trying to alleviate the crisis at the expense of their naive vassals.
