“エヴァンゲリオン/NEON GENESIS EVANGELION”をなぜ見てしまったんだろう

Investec（天达银行）首席经济学家Philip Shaw：料英国央行可能会在2023年2月的下一次会议上，将加息步伐放缓至25个基点，因为预计由于抵押贷款利率上升，英国消费者支出将下降。我们怀疑，消费者支出将在明年继续受到打击，特别是随着固定期限的结束，400万家庭被迫以更高的利率为抵押贷款再融资。我们预计银行利率将上升25个基点至3.75%，然后在3月份升至4.0%

Switzerland is a mountainous country in the center of Europe, roughly the same size as the Netherlands and with a population of around 9 million people. The capital city is Bern, the largest city is Zurich and within those and other cities, several languages are spoken. Switzerland has four official languages: German, French, Italian Romansh. Romansh is a romance language that is traditionally spoken in the southeastern region of Grisons and became an official language in 1996.

The country has long been famed for its neutrality. Sitting out each of the world wars, it has a self-imposed policy that states that they should not become involved in any political or armed conflicts with other nations. In fact, since 1815 Switzerland has not participated in a foreign war. In recent years this neutrality has been questioned due to their close links to Europe, the fact they became a member of the UN in 2002, and that they are the location for the headquarters of many multinational banks and corporations.

Over the past 100 years, Switzerland has gradually become one of the wealthiest countries on earth. This is partly due to the strength gained from their neutral positioning but also periods of prolonged political stability have had an influence. A study commissioned by Credit Suisse in 2020 discovered that 800,000 millionaires live in Switzerland, and in a country of just 9 million that is quite a significant proportion. However, the increased wealth of the country has brought with it hefty living costs, and Switzerland has been described as the most expensive place to live in Europe.

Просто свободный вечер. Виктория Токарева.

Дачное место имело свои достоинства и недостатки, но, несмотря на недостатки, дачи здесь были дорогие. Рита сняла домик для себя и для матери, которой необходим был покой и свежий воздух.
Домик стоял на краю ржаного поля, а неподалеку был лес – настоящий, почти дремучий. Там росли грибы, жили ежи, белки и, может быть, даже какой-нибудь крупный зверь.
Это было достоинство.
Но за лесом лег Шереметьевский аэродром, и над домом все время космическим гулом ревели самолеты. Они летали очень низко, и Рите казалось все время, что самолет либо снесет крышу, либо стены не выдержат вибрации и рухнут внутрь.
Это был недостаток.
Возле станции, метрах в двухстах от железной дороги, вытянулся пруд. Это было удобно, потому что любой дачник, не имеющий летнего отпуска, мог выкупаться по дороге на работу либо в конце рабочего дня, сойдя с переполненной душной электрички.
