The residents have to deal with the criminals after the police are gone. They have nowhere else to live if things are made difficult for them or their kids.
Yes Ichoro.
People are mostly clueless what the life on the bottom is all about in the US.

Asset seizures abroad?? Russia should respond with naval blockades and ti for tat vessel/asset seizures.

For example, the UK freezes some Russian assets?? The Russian navy should seize a UK vessel in response.
I am looking into it now - how serious the whole thing is, the whole scope and breadth of it.
Trump seems to trying to resist, but he is under a lot of pressure from certain ppl in Senate or Congress.
If it's all for real, the sh*t is going to to hit the fan big time.
29th of January is a deadline to comprise the list.

Accordingly they didn't use plow to cultivate ground and only bred herds of sheep and horses. Probably here we see the influence of this believe (as a fashion).

An element of the national costume of buryats
possibly, or possibly the fashion developed independent of each other, having curved up toes isn't some novel idea, otherwise we could say that cowboy boots and jester/elf slippers are of Asian origin. If anything it would make more sense to say that the curved boots are designed to prevent the boot from dragging into the dirt/mud/snow when walking.

I'd say they often pay little attention to the form of the shoes at a historical reconstruction nowadays. To make an authentic pair of shoes is much more expensive than to sew a jacket or a trousers. And... Who will look at the boots?

Everything has its purpose, the origin is not so important for what was done (in particular folded socks shoes).Everything has its utilitarian function.Which in turn is connected with technology,way and conditions of life of certain peoples.

The boots were in Russia, the princes and wealthy people. The material for the boots was Morocco. Styles boots is constantly changing. So, in the 15-16 centuries, particularly popular were models with sharp, upturned noses. Y. P. Zybin saw in the features of Russian boots of constructive technique, which allowed to reduce contact of the main suture with the soil and prevented the formation of wrinkles on the rise.

In the Buryat culture Shoe sock presents a triangular shape with a sharp upper angle that covered the top of your foot. Shoes of this type were typical for Buryats, Mongols, Tuvinians, Khakases. The Mongolian version of the shoes a particularly elegant, had a sharp, raised toe. Bent toe were comfortable when riding and due to the appearance of the stapes. The appearance of the Shoe with a pointed toe was necessary for hunters: the toe did not allow the ski to slide off his feet.


In the end, we have practical shoes for walking on dirt for driving (movement) of skiing and riding.

PS it is surprising that people scored themselves in the head.

I can't trust a politician to do this. They're corrupt by nature.
