 some pensioners come from Antopol, Zdolbuniv,Klevan,Kostopol, Reshutsk and other places.
As for me it is a nice change in life and interesting socializing with other people, besides you can learn something useful, says Yaroslav Krysyuk from Antopol. People gladly come with their friends, acquaintances and we even have some married couples here.
It is the third time I have come here, but I find it very interesting to talk to people and to meet with them, just letting my soul relax, so to say, said Yevgen Avramchuk. You see, someone still needs us.
We saw the play "Old-fashioned comedy" at the theatre. We liked it very much, for that performance was also about the elderly and their relationships. We came, relaxed and remembered our youth.
People of pre-retirement age, who are interested in participating in events and meetings, also join the gatherings.
One can always find an interesting atmosphere, new people, useful information here, reports Olga Radyvanyuk from Rivne. There are meetings, excursions, visits to the theatre arranged for us. I would not ever go to the theatre if not this association.
Such organizations as the UARP are really needed and required, pensioners say. These people have life experience, they feel their importance and that they are needed. So people are already waiting impatiently for the next meeting and new interesting events. By the way, these people - being pensioners - are responded to friendly advances, and offered tickets at reasonable prices when visiting theatres, museums and exhibitions.
Ms Tkach drew our attention to the web page of the UARP - www.uarp.org - which can be read in four languages: Ukrainian, Russian, English and German, as it is frequented by foreigners. By the way the work of the Association itself is based on positive international experience.
At first, the motto of the Ukrainian Association of Retired Persons was "Help yourself! ", but was later changed to "Together we are strong! ", because to improve pensioners' lives is possible only with joint efforts of all seniors. Therefore, pensioners are invited to spent an interesting and useful time together.

She was also disappointed that the government had stuck to its DC calculation formula, which creams off 70 per cent of the enhancement in land value, instead of reverting to its pre-July 2007 formula of 50 per cent.
Peanuts action by MND.
How does DC reduction affect developers ah?

"Romance" in female brains generally takes on the form of language, while in male brains, it largely, so to speak, rises and falls as an "act."
But we all know and experience that the differences between the male and female brains are not confined to romance. It goes on and on in our lives. Scientists have long known that there are these differences. For a while, they thought it was largely because of the socialization process we experience the minute we are born and then after, as we go through life shaped by culture which has its own gender do's and don'ts.
But even if it is a scientifically established fact that experience shapes the brain, it does not demolish the fact that there are fundamental biological differences between how the male and female brains are structured and how they work. The big mistake is concluding that one is overall better than the other.
For instance, in verbal ability, men and women do not significantly differ in their comprehension but they do differ in the ways they land in understanding materials. Women employ more of a strategy of capturing the details and relationships of what they have read, while the average male relies more on coding the words and what they mean. This, I think, is related to why women seem to have some sort of their own "Netflix" in their head, with on-demand livestreaming of memories that will descend on a conversation that unfailingly befuddles men, making them wonder what witchery gives women these kinds of retrieval powers.
But men, on the average, rely on actual physical dimensions of a memory with the 3 dimensions. Not only that, but they can reenact the movement of these dimensions in their heads more faithfully than the average female. This also explains why when navigating, females use objects that stand out in the space (monuments and sari-sari stores), while men feel most at home figuring out where they are in terms of the direction (where the sun is) and distance they are traveling.
This was so evident when my husband and I just got married and we just started living in Washington D.C. He had to go to work right away, and I had to do so many errands by myself. When I expressed to him that I was quite worried about finding my way driving around the looped beltways and getting lost by myself, he just looked at me as he was hurrying toward the door to walk to work and said: "Oh don't worry at all about that. Just remember where the sun is, and even if you get lost, remember that the world is round so eventually…" His voice trailed off as he closed the door.
The differences in male and female brains are not just seen in the day-to-day experiences and exchanges of our lives. They are also glaring in the more serious domain of disorders. Dyslexia rate for boys is about 10 times that of girls, and boys are also about 5 times more likely to be diagnosed within the autism spectrum than girls. Women are twice more likely to be clinically depressed or experience post-traumatic disorder in their lifetime than men. But men are 40% more likely to fall into addiction.
A very recent study just revealed that women's brains are more or less 4 years younger than men's. The study concluded this when they saw how "youthful" the brains of the females were among their 200 male and female subjects with ages ranging from 20 to 82. To see "youthful," they looked for actual measures in the way the brain uses up energy.
The human brain uses up about 20% of the total energy the body gets. This is a very large proportion, considering how small our brains are compared to the other parts of our body.  The study found that the female brain retains its youthful aspects (about 4 years) relative to the male brain in the way it uses up energy. This was consistent across the wide age range they investigated. This is important because it, among other things, could explain the role of the brain's metabolism in the imbalances between the sexes with regards to aging-related conditions. Brain metabolism indeed may play a significant part in why aging females, in general, have less memory decline than aging males and the hippocampus (the brain part mainly associated with long-term memory) of aging females show less "weariness" ("atrophy" is the scientific term used) than that of aging males.
For millions of years the Faroe Islands stood alone in the heart of the North Atlantic Ocean. The first settlers may have been Irish monks, probably in the middle of the 7th century, seeking a tranquil refuge in these remote islands.
What is better known and well documented, is the Norwegian colonization, beginning about a hundred years later and developing throughout the Viking Age, making the Faroe Islands a central part of the Viking settlements along the coasts of the North Atlantic Ocean and the Irish Sea. The Viking settlers established their own parliament with local things in different parts of the islands and the main thing on Tinganes in Tórshavn. Christianity was proclaimed here about the year 1000.
Shortly after, the islands came under control of the Norwegian kings, one of whom being the famous King Sverre, who was brought up at the Faroese bishop’s seat at Kirkjubøur. Later the Norwegian crown came under the Danish monarchy, and with the Reformation, the independent Faroese bishopric was abolished and its properties taken over by the Crown.
During the Middle Ages, the Faroe Islands were greatly influenced by the North Sea countries, especially through the Hanseatic merchants in Bergen. With the Reformation the Danish king increased his control of the trade and established a trade monopoly, operated by different merchants and companies, but from 1709 taken over by the king himself through the Royal Trade Monopoly.
The islands were now governed directly from Copenhagen. Danish officials arrived to oversee the trade and protect it from competing merchants and the bands of pirates who for centuries had plagued the islands. Fort Skansin, overlooking Tórshavn harbour, is the remnant of
