Agnese Nano

Agnese Nano is a great Italian actress, born on 5 November 1965 in Rome. Her most famous work for us (Postsoviets) is Edera,soap opera about the lost girl who invents herself completely by finding a new family, ambitious work, and love. I haven't seen her in any other movies. The actress is truly fantastic, having that delicate beauty, not every woman possesses which can be observed in her kind eyes.

Her beauty will always stay intact. I wish every woman can age as well as she.)))

Kazakh banknote

From Conway Bulletin:

A Kazakh banknote wins an international design award, again
In terms of banknote sophistication -- artwork and
anti-forgery security -- Kazakhstan is world class.
The International Bank Note Society named Kazakhstan’s
5,000 tenge note, worth around $33, as the best new issue
of 2012 (May 17).
This is the second consecutive year that Kazakhstan has
won the award after its new 10,000 tenge note won in 2012.
With the help of the British banknote printer De La Rue,
the Kazakh Central Bank designed and launched the new 5,000
tenge banknote on New Year’s Eve 2011/12.
The judges praised its bright orange colour as well as
the banknote’s designs, including an outline of the country,
the iconic Soviet-built Hotel Kazakhstan in Almaty and
Independence Statue in the centre of the city.
The note also contains various anti-forgery watermarks
and other devices that improve its security.
Unusually for banknotes, the 5,000 tenge note, which beat
Canada’s 50 dollar bill and the Jersey 100 pound bill for
the award, does not carry the image of a famous national
person.
If banknote art and sophistication is a sign of a
confident, growing economy that is increasingly proud of its
currency and aware of its national symbols, then Kazakhstan
is definitely moving in the right direction.

Thatcher funeral Live BBC pictures

State funeral of Baroness Margaret Thatcher

Just saw the live from BBC of the Funeral. Very solemn, grand, incredibly powerful. took some pics from the laptop (silly thought, I know_). What stroke me most: the Queen was silent and grieving genuinely. Few speeches, few songs, St Paul's surrounding which seemed so irrelevant and perhaps even too large for the small coffin covered with Union Jack(

Apparently some guys from the crowd found the process boring, since after the Queen left, you could see some cheerful faces - talking, discussing, laughing, enjoying themselves and their little company. You could observe this intricate sense of arrogance over the fact that they were invited into the Sanctum. Very blessed shall they be. Jokes aside, everything seemed quite well organized and the sight of taking the coffin up and down the Cathedral's stairs was absolutely moving!

Dont understand the people on the streets boouing the procession. Quite unpatriotic and wretched. She did so much for the British, and such a long time passed, I just dont get it.

Sleep well, Lady. We will remember you, even here in Kazakhstan_)
