China managed to get 2.2 billion barrels of raw oil for 11 dollars per barrel!!!!

Russia Agrees to $25 Billion Oil-for-Loans Deal With China

Feb. 17 (Bloomberg) - Russia agreed to supply China with oil for 20 years in return for a $25 billion credit, as the world’s largest energy producer seeks to expand its presence on East Asian markets.

Russia signed the accord in Beijing today to deliver 15 million metric tons a year (301,000 barrels a day) for the next two decades, as well as build a branch from a new Siberian pipeline to the Chinese border, Deputy Prime Minister Igor Sechin said on Russian state broadcaster Vesti-24.

So, $25 billion / (20 years * 365.25 days * 301000 barrels a day) = 11.36 dollars per barrel !!!

At this price it's a giveaway! I'm proud of China!

On January, 19 a sixteen years old emo-girl from Leningrad city was raped, murdered and eaten by her so-called friends.

That day the girl accompanied by two emo-teens came to their friend to party a little. Drinking alcohol she made quarrel with a boy out of nonsense, but the boy suddenly became angry and with the help of his friend first raped her, than drown her in a bath and raped again. Being hungry, boys ate a heart and one buttock. In the morning they dismembered the body and throwed parts away to a junkyard.

Продолжительная влюбленность

Using brain scans, researchers at Stony Brook University in New York have discovered a small number of couples respond with as much passion after 20 years together as most people only do during the early throes of romance, Britain's Sunday Times newspaper reported.

The researchers scanned the brains of couples together for 20 years and compared them with results from new lovers, the Sunday Times said.

About 10 percent of the mature couples had the same chemical reactions when shown photographs of their loved ones as those just starting out.

Previous research has suggested that the first stages of romantic love fade within 15 months and after 10 years it has gone completely, the newspaper said.

"The findings go against the traditional view of romance -- that it drops off sharply in the first decade -- but we are sure it's real," said Arthur Aron, a psychologist at Stony Brook, told the Sunday Times.

10% пар сохраняет влюбленность через 20 лет и более после начала отношений. Это определили исследователи Стоуни Брук, сравнив c помощью МРТ процессы в мозгу у молодых и пар, проведших вместе более 20 лет.

Было обнаружено, что у некоторых людей из пожилых пар при виде фотографий партнера в мозгу происходят те же процессы, что и у влюбленных людей.

Это опровергает общераспространненые взгляды, согласно которым, чувства начинают угасать через 15 месяцев после начала отношений и полностью исчезают в течение десяти лет.
