Banks comparison

I was applying for mortgage loan and could share my experience with different banks. I applied to five banks: DOM.RF, Alfabank, Sberbank, VTB and Raiffaisen.

Ulyanovsk

Another business trip for An-124-100 resource extension started on Oct 14. Like a previous one, this time we arrived to Ulyanovsk. I should admit, that it’s much better here now than in winter. Sun is shining bright, streets are covered with colorful leaves and cheerful children are running along the wide streets.

Sovkomflot IPO

The entire month I’ve been reading about Sovkomflot IPO. It’s a Soviet-era company with a large number of cargo ships for transferring oil and liquid gas. This year is rather tough for the Russian government suffering from oil price plummeting and COVID pandemic. So, they decided to sell a part of the company.

AMC library

After registration on Litres online library I was very happy, but very soon realized that most of the books in English there are adopted for a certain level.

No changes

The last time I visited the state medical facility about 5 years ago and still have bitter feelings about it.

Sochi

It was my first experience driving along the mountain road and drive that far. Though, the road from Moscow to Adigeya is almost perfect: several lanes, signs that […]

Lame Horse

Couple weeks ago I sent documents for tax return to IRS using Pony Express. It was cheeper than with DHL so I thought it was a good decision. How wrong was I! They picked up documents very fast and I was sure my papers are on theit way to Texas, however they called my after […]

Bones analysis

The topic I’d really liked on passed MSC conference was about simulation of loads in human bones. The issue here is relating to different properties  of natural materials in distinguished directions and in various parts of the item. For example, tooth consist of extremely strong enamel and tough dentine. First is good for routine chewing activity due […]

MSC conference

Yesterday I took part in the 20th annual conference of MSC Software. This company was formed in the US in 1963. Their goal was to develop a program for finite element analysis. To make a long story short, this method allows engineers to split the complex tasks into small pieces that could be analyzed using […]
