Source text - Swedish Är man ensam
Marie Wine
Är man ensam
Längtar man att bli två
Men är man två
Så är man alltid tre:
Den tredje är den ensamma.
Som fortfarande är ensam.
Söker jag rosor
Finner jag snö
Söker jag snö
Finner jag rosor
Söker jag ingenting
Finner jag både
Rosor och snö.
Translation - English Are we lonely,
Do we want to be two?
So, are we always three?
The third one is the lonely one,
Who keeps being lonely.
I am looking for roses,
I find snow.
I am looking for snow,
I find roses.
Whenever I am looking for something,
I find both:
Roses and snow.

Kvällen
Kvällen ar vid grässet.
Vilken rörs lätt av vindar.
Solen sänker sin eld
I molnet.
Klar, utan stjärnor, är himeln.
Bo Carpelan
Translated from Swedish – Liliana Boladz Nekipelov@
The evening.
The evening is lurking
Behind the grass.
Which moves with the wind.
The sun sinks its fire
In a cloud.
Clear, without starts, is the evening.

Source text - Russian Солнце было в зените. Медный от пыли диск висел в центре белесого, нечистого неба, ублюдочная тень корчилась и топорщилась под самыми подошвами, то серая и размытая, то вдруг словно оживающая, обретающая резкость очертаний, наливающаяся чернотой и тогда особенно уродливая. Никакой дороги здесь и в помине не было -- была бугристая серо-желтая сухая глина, растрескавшаяся, убитая, твердая, как камень, и до того голая, что совершенно не понятно было, откуда здесь берется такая масса пыли.
Ветер, слава богу, дул в спину. Где-то далеко позади он засасывал в себя неисчислимые тонны гнусной раскаленной пороши и с тупым упорством волочил ее вдоль выжженного солнцем выступа, зажатого между пропастью и Желтой стеной, то выбрасывая ее крутящимся протуберанцем до самого неба, то скручивая туго в гибкие, почти кокетливые, лебединые шеи смерчей, то просто катил клубящимся валом, а потом, вдруг остервенев, швырял колючую муку в спины, в волосы, хлестал, зверея, по мокрому от пота затылку, стегал по рукам, по ушам, набивал карманы, сыпал за шиворот…
Ничего здесь не было, давно уже ничего не было. А может быть, и никогда. Солнце, глина, ветер. Только иногда пронесется, крутясь и подпрыгивая кривляющимся скоморохом, колючий скелет куста, выдранного с корнем бог знает где позади. Ни капли воды, никаких признаков жизни. И только пыль, пыль, пыль, пыль…
Время от времени глина под ногами куда-то пропадала, и начиналось сплошное каменное крошево. Здесь все было раскалено, как в аду. То справа, то слева начинали выглядывать из клубов несущейся пыли гигантские обломки скал – седые, словно мукой припорошенные. Ветер и жара придавали им самые странные и неожиданные очертания, и было страшно, что они вот так – то появляются, то вновь исчезают, как призраки, словно играют в свои каменные прятки. А щебень под ногами становился все крупнее, и вдруг россыпь кончалась, и снова под ногами звенела глина.
Translation - English The sun was at its highest. A huge disc-- copper in color from all the dust, was hanging in the middle of a whitish, hazy sky. Its appalling shadow seemed to be making faces, staring from underneath my feet: at times it appeared in its greyish, washed-down form to suddenly revive and regain the sharpness of its contours, to later swell with blackness, becoming even more ugly. There was no road there, or in the vicinity. There was only some porous, greyish-yellow dry clay, all cracked down, hard-trodden as a stone. The surface seemed all bare, making it a total mystery where such an amount of dust that had collected there had come from
The wind, thank God, was blowing in my back. Somewhere far behind, it was sucking up uncountable tons of repulsive hot dust, and with some dumb stubbornness dragging it down the sun-burnt protrusion between the chasm and the Yellow wall, either ejecting it up into the sky in a big perturbance, or again twisting it tight into flexible, almost coquet-like, swan necks of tornadoes. Then rushing as a gusting roll, roaring and throwing piercing particles of flour at my sweaty back, and into my hair, pounding like a wild animal against the back of my neck, hitting my hands and ears, filling my pockets with dust , and throwing dust behind my collar.
There wasn't anything there. Nothing had been there for years, and maybe ever. The sun, the clay and the wind. Only sporadically, grimacing like a clown, a thorny skeleton of some bush would drift in the air, jumping: one which had been torn out with its roots, only God knows where, somewhere far behind . Not a drop of water. No sign of life. And, only the dust, the dust, the dust, …
From time to time, the clay underneath my feet would disappear somewhere, and land covered entirely with stones would begin. Everything there was hot like in Hell. From left and right, taking turns, gigantic shapes and a cloud made of gravel kept emerging from behind the balls of the travelling dust , gray, as if sprinkled with flour. The wind and the heat were giving them the most frightening and unexpected features. It was scary that they were appearing out of nowhere, and then suddenly disappearing like phantoms, as if playing hide and seek with one another. Then, the gavel underneath my feet started getting bigger and bigger to suddenly disappear. And suddenly, I could hear clay again underneath my feet.

Source text - Russian ... Издали, в лесном коридоре, оно показалось веселое и нарядное, сияющее необыкновенно чистой и ровной желтизной. Я подошел поближе: это было заброшенное поле, давно не паханное и не сеянное, и теперь густо заросшее какими-то невысокими растениями-кустиками. От них вдруг дохнуло приятным горьковато-цветочным ароматом. «Да это сурепка, — вспомнил я когда-то читанный ботанический атлас, — что-то вроде сорняка...».
Свежий ветер пробежал над живым ковром, все поле заиграло и запереливалось золотистыми волнами, которые докатывались до затененной солнцем стены леса, образуя удивительный контраст темно-зеленого и ярко-желтого. «Будто драгоценная чаша в малахитовой оправе» — мелькнуло сравнение.
Высоко в знойном июньском небе парил коршун. Жара предвещала грозу. Над западной частью горизонта уже темнела громадная туча, набухая дождем. И только в зените неровные, быстро смещающиеся края облаков ослепительно сверкали расплавленным серебром, источая нестерпимый свет. Ветер усиливался, все соцветия сурепки быстро раскачивались, будто исполняя какой-то экзотический танец.
Звенело, страстно и не переставая, множество невидимых глазу жаворонков. Будто перед грозой пели и цветы, и лес, и это далекое от человеческих селений поле. Но вот теплые серые комочки упали откуда-то с неба и зависли над кустиками золотистой сурепки. Некоторые жаворонки вились над самым полем, перепархивая от цветка к цветку и наполняя окраину неумолчным пилением. Другие, часто трепеща крылышками, поднимались вертикально и зависали метрах в четырех-пяти над землей и также громко славили жизнь.
Предгрозовые облака громоздились по всему небу, кое-где иссиня-розоватые, будто раскаленные изнутри, и я увидел, что над лесом осталось лишь небольшое голубоватое окно, из которого прямым широким водопадом прорывались к земле лучи, заливая теплым мягким светом все летнее благоухающее цветение. А в напряженном, наполненном электричеством воздухе беззвучно бушевала метель из летящего вокруг осинового пуха. Но вот где-то оглушительно ударил гром, и первые крупные капли дождя шумно хлестанули по золоту цветов сурепки. В тот миг, когда пришел ливень, вдруг показалось, что вся живая природа свободно и облегченно вздохнула, что все деревья, растения, птицы и звери обрадовались сверкающему, всполошному, сотканному из толстых водяных струй, дождю.
До нитки промокший, один среди затуманенного и вдруг притихшего, словно бы придавленного стихией поля, я также молча наслаждался упоительным счастьем человека, которому один, от силы два раза в году дано увидеть и ощутить прекрасное смятение в природе.
Translation - English It was visible from a distance through the forest corridor-- all adorned and joyful, radiating an unusual purity and wholesome yellow shine. I came closer. It was an abandoned field, which no one had plowed for years, or planted with seed. Now, it had been taken over by some not very high plants–some kind of bushes. They instantly started giving out a pleasant, slightly bitter aroma. ”Yes. It is bitter cress.” I just remembered. I read about it once in a botanical book—some kind of weed.
Refreshing wind ran over the live carpet—the whole field started playing, emitting golden waves, which spread all the way up to the shaded form the sun forest wall, creating an amazing contrast between the dark green and bright yellow. “As if a precious chalice in a malachite frame.“ Such a comparison passed through my mind. High up in the hot June sky, a black kite was soaring. The heat was foretelling a storm. On the western side of the horizon, a big storm cloud was darkening the sky, all heavy with rain. Only at the zenith, the uneven, fast disappearing edges of the clouds were glistening, blinding the world with their liquid silver shine, while giving out unbearable light. The wind calmed down, and the bitter cress blossoms were moving rapidly, as if performing an exotic dance.
Suddenly, there was an ominous ringing in the air, which would not stop, and a multitude of larks, invisible to the eye, started singing. As if in anticipation of the storm everything began to sing -- the flowers, the forest and the field—far away from any human settlements. And then, some warm gray pebbles started pouring from the sky, which then got as if suspended over the golden bushes of the bitter cress. Some of the larks were flying right above the field, hopping from one flower to another, and filling the area with an unending chirp. Some other birds, frequently flipping their wings, were moving vertically, and then stayed afloat four to five meters above the earth—also, loudly glorifying life.
The storm clouds were gathering over the entire sky: in some places, they were bluish-pink, as if feverish from inside. I saw that only a small bluish opening was left above the forest, through which some beams were trying to get down to the earth in a cascade of light, covering the site with warm, soft light. And then, the dense air, all filled with electricity, was silently overtaken by a snowstorm of alder fuzz, flying all over the place. Suddenly, a thunder struck somewhere, deafening everything around, and the first huge drop of rain loudly splashed against the bitter cress. In a moment, it started raining. Suddenly, it seemed as if the whole live nature became free and made a sigh of relief: that all the plants, trees, birds and animals became happy, glistening underneath the coat of rain, woven roughly from thick streaks of water.
Wet as a dog, in the middle of the field covered with fog, and suddenly quiet, as if suppressed by the storm, I was quietly enjoying the full happiness of a man who once, or twice a year the most, was given the pleasure of seeing and experiencing this unfathomable and totally awesome miracle of nature.

Мне нравится, что Вы больны не мной,
Мне нравится, что я больна не Вами,
Что никогда тяжелый шар земной
Не уплывет под нашими ногами.
Мне нравится, что можно быть смешной
Распущенной-и не играть словами,
И не краснеть удушливой волной,
Слегка соприкоснувшись рукавами.
Мне нравится еще, что Вы при мне
Спокойно обнимаете другую,
Не прочите мне в адовом огне
Гореть за то, что я не Вас целую.
Что имя нежное мое, мой нежный, не
Упоминаете ни днем ни ночью — всуе...
Что никогда в церковной тишине
Не пропоют над нами: аллилуйя!
Спасибо Вам и сердцем и рукой
За то, что Вы меня — не зная сами! —
Так любите: за мой ночной покой,
За редкость встреч закатными часами,
За наши не-гулянья под луной,
За солнце не у нас на головами,
За то, что Вы больны — увы! — не мной,
За то, что я больна — увы! — не Вами.

And, that I won't get overcome by that suffocating blush,
when my sleeve accidentally touches yours.
I also like, that you, in my presence,
calmly put your arm around another,
Don’t make predictions that I will burn in the eternal fire,
for simply kissing another.
I also like that you don’t call my lovely name in vain, my dear,
at night or in the morning
That never in the quietness of the church
anyone will sing us Hallelujah.
I thank you with my heart and with my hand,
that you, without personally knowing me,
love me so.
For my peace at night.
for the scarcity of our meetings at the late
hour.
For our not walking under the moon.
for the sun not over our heads.
That you are, unfortunately, not obsessed with me.

Translation - English The ability to talk is most likely genetic, and only the exposure to one of the over 4,000 languages determines which language becomes your first. Our brain structure which is responsible for the language skills is fitted (today we can use the word: programmed) to allow language learning.
Nowadays, the ability to communicate with people from all the continents is very important. It makes personal contacts easier and helps conducting business. What is the best method to learn a foreign language? Recently, the X method has been very popular, but there are different schools and methods of effective language learning It might be worthwhile to examine them and choose the best type for your brain. What I am saying here sounds like an encouragement to learn languages, and this is what it actually is. The ability to talk to another person in their native language widens our horizons, allows us to get to know other nations better and affects our self-valuation in a positive way, increasing our self-confidence. It also allows us to achieve many personal goals closely linked to our interests. What should one do to master a language? In addition to the selected language courses, you should also read a lot (carefully choosing the language level of the books and magazines, not to get discouraged), consciously work with various dictionaries—mono and multi-lingual, and travel abroad to be immersed in a particular language environment.
Is communication in a foreign language the only skill that we can acquire due to the unusual abilities of our brain? Of course, not. Without the functioning of this very important organ we could not perform even the simplest actions, however, those are not the subject of our discussion. Our brain helps us to have control over our life, which is to make decisions and choose what is best for us.
“Happiness or lack thereof, depends mostly on how we think. It is worth analyzing and remembering!’
Using the amazing power of our brain as an instrument of shaping our own lives is possible provided that we are aware of that phenomenon. You have probably heard about people with some amazing powers which enable them to read very fast or perform complex mathematical tasks. Everybody can develop such and similar capabilities, because we use only slightly more than a dozen percent of our brain capabilities. Peter Russell claims that the problem of getting to know the secrets of our brain, regardless of countless years of research, still remains open. I would like to encourage you to study this problem thoroughly , since the knowledge about the capabilities of our brain is astonishing. I am convinced, that thanks that knowledge everybody will be able to awaken their own path of development within themselves, which will lead to self-fulfillment and permanent satisfaction.
‘One cannot live happily, without living in an honorable, moral and honest life.” Epicurus
Establishing the frontier of human cognition was the task, which the German philosopher and thinker of the 18th c, Emanuel Kant decided to tackle. By defining the subject, he made a breakthrough so important that it was called a Copernican revolution in philosophy. Kant determined that during the cognitive process the subject conditions the object. Serious consequences arise from this seemingly simple sentence—it is man who creates the reality, creates and names the world, and he is also the one who can change it.

Translation - English Contour plastic injection is a method of correcting degenerative skin defects through the intradermal, subdural and supra dermal application of special non-capsular fillers.
Synonyms: Augmentation (filling)
Filling (from English- to fill)
The popularity of contour plastic procedures among both doctors and patients is growing every year. It is not surprising. ‘Filling’ is one of the few techniques in modern cosmetology which, within minutes, allows you to eliminate cosmetic imperfections that may have been bothering someone for years, at the same time achieving results which last up to a year and a half. This procedure is conducted as a walk-in patient, and does not require surgery, which means it does not prevent the patient from carrying on with their everyday life.
Out of all the multiple fillers popular on both the international and domestic Russian markets, the most optimal fillers, as of today, are considered to be those based on stabilized hyaluronic acid. They are characterized by a low level of risk,being highly bio-compatible and biodegradable. Moreover, the multiple methods used for the stabilization of the hyaluronic acid allow the substance to remain in the tissues longer. XXXX* is the only 100% effectively cross-linked— hyaluronic acid monophasic gel prepared using the unique A.P.R. I. technology.
The XXXX* line of products represents a new generation of fillers based on the stabilized hyaluronic acid, biosynthetic in origin, and manufactured by the XXXX company (Switzerland). Fifty years of research devoted to examining the characteristics of hyaluronic acid and its reaction with the skin has enabled the famous Swiss company XXXX produce this line of XXXX* fillers. The unique character of XXXX* fillers is generated by the purity of the product’s ingredients and their safety which is achieved through the innovative method of crosslinking the hyaluronic acid by a process called A.P.R.I.
The advantages of the A.P.R.I. technology over other methods can be described as follows—the whole process of the hyaluronic acid stabilization is done in one phase—using highly concentrated water solution without the addition of other acids or alkaloids as such, since this is a neutral medium. Under such conditions, it is possible for more effective connections between the molecules within the hyaluronic acid molecular connections to occur thereby keeping other peripheral connections to a minimum. This also allows for butanediol diglycidyl ether (BDDE) to be formed in the final product. The XXXX* products are manufactured in accordance with the quality standards---ISO XxxX, and have a CE certificate. High quality standards are followed throughout the entire manufacturing process.
