    В островном тихоокеанском государстве Ниуэ, где проживает примерно 1400 человек, на всей территории доступен бесплатный доступ в интернет через Wi-Fi. Обеспечивает это компания, которая выкупила у Ниуэ право на администрирование домена .nu. Такие домены популярны для сайтов в нескольких европейских странах, так как в шведском, датском и голландском языках nu означает «сейчас».

    Niue is an island state of the Pacific Ocean with a population (of) around 1400 people. Free wi-Fi is available all over the territory and provided by a company, which bought out the right to maintain the domain '.nu' from Niue's government. Such domains are popular for websites in several European countries because in Swedish, Danish and Dutch 'nu' means 'now'.


    Осьминоги считаются самыми умными среди всех беспозвоночных и умнее даже некоторых позвоночных животных. Например, они могут различать геометрические фигуры, привыкают к кормящим их людям, поддаются дрессировке и даже становятся ручными. Осьминоги тщательно заботятся о чистоте своих жилищ, «подметая» их струёй воды и складывая отходы снаружи в мусорную кучу.

    Octopuses are considered to be the smartest among all invertebrates and even smarter than some vertebrate animals. For example, they are able to recognize geometrical figures, get used to people feeding them, can be trained and even become pets. Octopuses thoroughly maintain the cleanliness of their homes, "sweeping" them with a water stream and dumping their garbage outside.


    Всемирно известная швейцарская торговая марка пишущих принадлежностей Caran d'Ache была названа в честь карикатуриста Эммануэля Пуаре. Он работал во Франции, но родился и закончил гимназию в Москве, а свой псевдоним Caran d'Ache образовал от простого русского слова «карандаш», записав его на французский манер.

    The world known trademark of writing accessories "Caran d'Ache" was named in honor of caricaturist Emmanuel Puare. He worked in France but was born in and graduated from a college in Moscow. The alias "Caran d'Ache" was made from a simple Russian word "карандаш", written in a French style (transliterated into French).


    Высочайший город мира — Ла Ринконада в Перу — расположен на высоте 5 099 метров над уровнем моря. Здесь живут 30 000 человек, большая часть которых занята добычей золота. Многие шахтёры работают бесплатно в течение месяца, а в последний день им разрешается взять столько руды, сколько они могут унести на своих плечах. При этом ещё неизвестно, будет ли в руде золото или нет. Однако Ла Ринконада ещё не самое высокое постоянное поселение на Земле. Существует две индийских деревни, которые находятся на высотах 5 170 и 5 219 метров.

    The highest town of the world - La Rinkonada in Peru - is located at an altitude of 5099 meters above sea level. 30,000 people live there, most of whom mine gold. Many miners work free during the month and on the last day they are allowed to take out as much ore as they are able to handle. And you never know whether there is some gold inside or not. However La Rinkonada is not the highest constant settlement on Earth. There are two Indian villages at altitudes of 5170 and 5219 meters.


    У ящериц-гекконов отсутствуют веки, поэтому они вынуждены периодически смачивать специальную прозрачную мембрану на глазах своим языком. А перепончатолапые гекконы, обитающие в пустынях Намибии, используют эту особенность и для обратного процесса. Почти каждое утро на дюны здесь опускается туман, после которого на глазах ящерицы конденсируется жидкость. Затем геккон её слизывает, чтобы утолить жажду.

    Gecko lizards have no eyelids, therefore they have to wet the special transparent membrane on the(ir) eyes with their tongue. And webbed-footed gecko(n)s, living in the Namibian deserts, use this condition (technique) for the reverse process as well. Almost every morning fog falls on the dunes and causes liquid to condensate (condense) on the eyes. Then the gecko(n) licks it off to quench its thirst.
