What products are the best for exporting to Russia?
Several, I will say the most significants;1)FoodRussia is a very cold country. During most of the year, the soil remains frozen. People in cold, consume more energy to keep body warm, then they need calories. The country produces food,but the variety of foods is low. Producing food in these soils t is very difficult. Then, in the country, there is a very common thing about poor people;the parents give vodka to their children as it´s a caloric drink that helps against the cold, and is the only solution (in Russia, vodka is cheap) for cold problem. Russia imports many foods,especially meat,seeds and fruit. Besides,especially now Russia suffers embargoes by military intervention in Crimea, Ukraine was the country from which Russia imported many foods, with the occupation, have cooled relationshipin addition, the intervention brought embargoes that hamper trade, and demand for them increase.2)CarsEven though Russia has national brands,like Lada,GAZ they are more focused on military ,jeeps or 4WD vehicles. Some of these vehicles are considered of poor quality,or very rustic. Therefore, Russians imports many cars. BMW,Hyundai and Mercedes are happy with that.3)Cell PhonesThe Russians were shocked when they see other Europeans using cell phones, until today,they still like this dispositive.4)PlasticIt ´s a material widely used in the country.5)Pharmaceutical products6)HeatersTo be very cold, has a large number of heaters inside the houses, buildings and other facilities, which helps make the most comfortable temperature.7)MachineryRussia is the largest country in the world, a large area of the country is agricultural. The Demand for tractors, among other types of machine and machinery, is quite large, although there are Russian companies in this sector, by size of agricultural areas is great, and then the machinery companies do not think twice and create branches in the country.
I'm from Kenya with a degree in literature and linguistics from the University of Nairobi. What are the odds of me getting a job teaching English in China? Will my being black and African affect my chances? I hope that doesn’t come off as racist.
It's interesting to see the different answers from Chinese commenters vs non-Chinese. It seems almost all the Chinese commenters believe it will be no problem to find a job, while the non-Chinese believe coming from Africa will limit your chances. As someone with extensive experience working with hiring foreign teachers for Chinese universities I have to say: listen to the non-Chinese in this respect. Chinese students of English may have noticed the African, African-American or Afro-Caribbean teachers here but what they won't have seen is the many qualified teachers who were rejected solely because of skin colour. To give examples: I've been told in very clear terms by a top university in China that they would not accept any non-white teachers. Another university went further and would only accept white British or American males. I've had highly trained and talented teachers subject to regular inspections of their classes that no other teachers received when the only difference between them was the colour of their skin.In your case you face two hurdles: one is skin color, the other is that you would be classed as a non-native speaker. Now I know this isn't true but for most Chinese "native speaker" means American, British or (at a push) Canadian or Australian. Occasionally New Zealand and Ireland are also included. Every other country falls into the "non-native" category even if the official language is English.None of this is to say you can't get a job, you almost certainly can. However, you'll have to accept that most universities, schools and (especially) private language centres would hire a less qualified white European, Australasian or North American first.Things are getting better, though. In our program we actively push back (as far as we can) against the idea that skin colour or country of origin determine teaching ability. In the case of the top university I mentioned above, we now have an Afro-Caribbean teacher teaching there and doing very well. Things are changing, but this is China and change can take a long time.
Why are diamonds most commonly found in Africa?
That's a pretty heavy science project. The websites that explain the formation of diamonds tend to do so in language that leaves you not even realizing that it has been explained to you. The key to this is the rock type "kimberlite". Kimberlite is a visitor from the upper mantle, where the pressures and temperatures are extreme enough to form diamonds. There are virtually no places on earth, though, where you see this rock type because there are virtually no places where rock from this deep can get to the surface. This is an ancient phenomenon from a time when the earth was much younger and hotter. Stuff from that deep does not get to the surface any more. The diamonds that we find in kimberlite pipes are up to a couple of billion years old, hailing back to the "hot old days" when kimberlites were being formed more commonly. There are not many places on earth where two billion year old rocks can be found - only the oldest and most stable cratons. The diamond regions of southern africa are examples of such regions, and more recently similar regions have been found in ancient cratons in Australia and Canada. We're talking about really, really old rocks here - haling back to a time three times older than the oldest life on earth. Took a while to find a site with info that is anything close to something that a 12 year old can use, but the link is below. Perhaps a kind geologist can expand upon or correct what I have written here. I did a degree in geology once, but that was three years of study 25 years ago, and I don't even pretend to be competent in the field any more. Good luck!
How was the religion and economy in europe 1600-1700?PLZ HELP?
The religion was Catholic in France, Spain, Portugal and Greece. In The Netherlands and in England it was Protestant. Germany was not yet a nation, but numerous states, some of which were Catholic and some Protestant (Lutheran). This led to tensions and war. The Catholic inclined Stuart kings of England looked to France for inspiration - after Charles I had been executed, his son, the future Charles II took refuge in France. When James II ascended the throne as a Catholic there were tensions between him and Parliament which led to his eventual overthrow and the invitation to the Protestant William of Orange and his wife Mary to become joint monarchs. France began to take a harder line against Protestants during the century with Louis XIV repealing the Edict of Nantes which allowed religious toleration. Generally the century, throughout Europe, was not noted for toleration anywhere with constant conflict between Catholic and.Protestant. I'll leave someone else to comment on economy.
