Masherov, Vitebsk, Belarus, [email protected] (c) Yaroslav-the-Wise Novgorod State University, Veliky Novgorod, Russia, [email protected] Abstract The article discusses the psychological and pedagogical conditions for the development of students' abilities. The authors raise issues related to the problem of student attitudes towards their abilities and the productivity of their own activities. The features of motivation for educational activities, creative position and conditions for the development of the abilities of various groups of students of secondary schools are considered. The article presents the results of a survey of students in grades 6-11 of comprehensive schools in Vitebsk (Republic of Belarus). The study obtained data reflecting the views of students in the following areas: motivation and self-realization of the personality, emotional-volitional regulation, creative position and development of abilities, special conditions and material and technical base, social connections and pedagogical support in the educational environment of the school. The study showed that confidence in the presence of pronounced abilities allows students to build their educational path effectively together with teachers and parents, based on their own interests, growth prospects and self-realization.

The films in the series span a period of nearly 50 years, opening with Malick’s 1970s breakthroughs Badlands (1973) and Days of Heaven (1978), through his career-revival masterworks The Thin Red Line (1998) and The New World (2005), and continuing with his 21st- century films—from Cannes Palme d’Or winner The Tree of Life (2011); the trio of To the Wonder (2012), Knight of Cups (2015), and Song to Song (2017); and sole documentary project Voyage of Time (2016)—through to this year’s A Hidden Life.

  • K2 Promotions Expresses Condolences to the Corrie Sanders Family
    K2 PROMOTIONS EXPRESSES CONDOLENCES TO THE CORRIE SANDERS FAMILY VENICE, CA (September 25, 2012) K2 Promotions was very saddened to hear about the death of former heavyweight world champion Corrie Sanders over the weekend. The 46-year-old Sanders was shot in an apparent robbery in Britz, near Pretoria, while celebrating the birthday of a family member. “It was a shock to Vitali and Wladimir as well as myself when I heard the news” said Tom Loeffler, managing director of K2 Promotions. “Corrie was a world champion boxer and a true gentleman and a pleasure to work with outside the ring.” The Klitschko brothers released a statement calling him a “great person”. “We were shocked to learn of the sudden death of Corrie Sanders and we want to express our sincere condolences to his family,” read the statement. “We will remember Corrie as a great person both inside and outside the ring. He was a great fighter with a big heart who always positively represented the sport of boxing.” Sanders will always be linked to the Klitschko brothers, having fought both of them. He won the WBO World Title with a shocking win over Wladimir on MARCH 8, 2003 in Hannover, Germany, winning the WBO World Title. In his following bout, Sanders traveled to Los Angeles, California on APRIL 24, 2004 and challenged older brother Vitali for the vacant WBC World Title. Fighting valiantly throughout the fight, Sanders was stopped in the eighth round when referee Jon Schorle deemed that he had taken too much punishment. “The fight at Staples Center against Vitali was the first promotion of K2 and I have very fond memories of working with Corrie and his team.

Publication Date 2012 License https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ 4.0 Peer reviewed eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California The “Forward Russia” Flag 99 The “Forward Russia” Flag: Examining the Changing Use of the Bear as a Symbol of Russia Anne M. Platoff Introduction Viewers of international sporting events have become accustomed to seeing informal sporting flags waved by citizens of various countries. The most famil- iar of these flags, of course, are the “Boxing Kangaroo” flag used to represent Australia and the “Fighting Kiwi” flag used by fans from New Zealand. Both of these flags have become common at the Olympic Games when athletes from those nations compete. Recently a new flag of this type has been displayed at international soccer matches and the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics. Unlike the Kangaroo and Kiwi flags, this new flag has been constructed using a defaced national flag, the Russian tricolor flag of white, blue, and red horizontal stripes, readopted as the flag of the Russian Federation after the breakup of the Soviet Union. A number of variations of the flag design have been used, but all of them contain two elements: the Russian text Vperëd Rossiia, which means “Forward Russia”, and a bear which appears to be break- ing its way out of the flag.

  • Interview with Olga Kurylenko for the Daily Life's Sunday
    SHE’S FRANK, SMART, FUNNY AND UNLUCKY IN LOVE. HERE BOND GIRL AND EX MODEL OLGA KURYLENKO OPENS UP TO JANE CORNWELL. lga Kurylenko’s people have booked a table for two in a cafe in Chelsea, in the heart of discrete, upper-crust west London. It will just be the two of us – no bodyguards, no PR girls flashing the five- minute sign, none of the media-minder obusiness often associated with celebrity interviews, especially ones with stunning, critically-acclaimed French-Ukrainian actresses on the cusp of A-list status. We’re meeting to talk about her role in Russell Crowe’s directorial debut, The Water Diviner, a drama about an Australian farmer, Joshua Connor (Crowe), who travels to Turkey in search of his three sons, missing after the 1915 Battle of Gallipoli. Kurylenko plays Ayshe, the mysterious woman who owns the Istanbul hotel in which Connor stays. There have been no press screenings, understanding so I haven’t seen the film. But the official trailer, with its swirling dust storms, swelling string music and exploding World War I battlefields underscores The Water Diviner’s wannabe blockbuster status.
