Как заявил на коллегии Минэкономразвития первый вице-премьер РФ Игорь Шувалов, чиновникам следует изменить стиль управления - не ждать поручений от вышестоящего руководства, а потом сообщать о выполнении, а думать как бизнес: формировать бизнес-планы и модели решения существующих проблем.

Women are not the only people who worry about how they look. Research has found that men are also concerned about their body image - meaning that men worry about their physical appearance or how they think other people view them.
But where does the pressure to look good come from - and what should men really do to feel good about their bodies? Two handsome men, Rob and Finn, discuss the subject and look at some words related to body image.

Moscow Bank Connected to Chaika's Son Loses License
Russia's Central Bank has revoked the operating license of the Moscow-based Millenium bank due to a loss of capital, the regulator said in a statement on Friday.
The statement also said Millenium bank — ranked 282nd in the Russian banking system in terms of assets — failed to satisfy the claims of its creditors in a timely manner.
According to the Kommersant newspaper, 48 percent of Millenium bank is owned by entities controlled by the Russian Railways state monopoly.
The Vedomosti newspaper reported last October that 11.7 percent of the bank's assets were owned by Russian Prosecutor General Yury Chaika's son Igor through Beteltrans — Russia's largest producer of railway sleepers.
The Central Bank has been carrying out a large-scale cleansing of the Russian banking sector since 2013. A total of 93 banks were deprived of licenses last year.
