  • Russia Stamp Album Volume5v5.Qxd
    FREE PAGE DOWNLOAD PDFs This PDF download: these are watermarked samples from my own design stamp album pages, albeit some at much lower resolution quality in order to keep internet download file size down. You may be able to glean a few design ideas from these, not that I am suggesting they are a masterpiece! Legal warning: no part or captured image/s of these pages and/or page designs can be used commercially, given away, or sold on without first obtaining my written permission. Software options I used an old version of QuarkXPress Passport (version 7.3 from my publishing days) to do all the page layout work (with its brilliant page element library) but other alternatives are Adobe InDesign, CorelDRAW and perhaps MS Publisher. You might also want to take a look at AlbumGen (stamp album design software) which can combine with images and data from EzStamp – follow this link https://ezstamp.com/software/stamp-album-software/ Get your pages printed professionally – not on a home printer. In terms of printing your own stamp album pages, most decent digital print shops should be able to print on larger paper size for you (e.g. A3 paper - ideally at 1200 dpi); then also guillotine to whatever final page size is wanted; and then punch/drill holes to suit your binder choice. Paper specification In terms of paper, I highly recommend Mondi Colorcopy 160g/m2 (59 lbs bond) paper – a paper that works really well with digital printing. You could use thicker paper if you wanted. Colorcopy paper is widely available in various paper sizes including A3.

  • Moscow Guide.Pdf
    Moscow Guide Neurolinguistics Laboratory 2016 How to get to Moscow from the airport There are two ways of getting from the airport to the city: taxi and train. Aeroexpress train We advise you to choose an aeroexpress train that goes to the metro station near to the center. This transport is faster and more reliable, especially during rush hours. Unfortunately, it is closed for several hours at night. You can buy tickets online at the website and at the airport at ticket machines or ticket office. You can also pay directly at the tourniquet with a Paypass or PayWave card (in this case you do not need to buy the tickets). For timetables, tickets and more information please see https://aeroexpress.ru/en.html Taxi We strongly advise you not to use the taxis that are offered at the airport, they are usually overpriced. The most convenient taxi services with mobile applications are Uber https://www.uber.com/ , Yandex Taxi https://taxi.yandex.ru/ , and Gett http://gett.com/ . If you are a first time Gett user, you can use a promocode GTPYNWK to get a 400rub bonus for your ride. All the services have special fixed tariffs for trips to and from airports. You can also prebook a taxi for a fixed airport-to-Moscow tariff. The prices range from 1500 to 2000r. The companies with websites in English are: https://mostaxi.ru/en/ , http://www.msk-taxi.ru/eng Getting around Except taxis (more information is given in the previous section) there are different types of public transport: underground transport called metro and surface transport (trams, buses, trolleybuses and marshrutkas).
