Indeed, in academia, some men say they prefer to drop their titles to foster more informal relationships with colleagues and students. Not all women can afford to make the same choice, as their expertise is less likely to be taken for granted. Kretzenbacher believes that the gendered difference is “an expression of male privilege – that you as a male academic, you get the benefit of the doubt that you’re an expert, or that you are a professor or a doctor or something”. That benefit of the doubt gets extended to women, and certain types of women, less often.

The Google search requests reveal that only a tiny percent of people from the Ukraine use the Ukrainian language for it, while the overwhelming majority sticks to Russian. The official promotion of the Ukrainian has reduced itself to the war of attrition against the Russian language: the 4th in its influence among the 5 major vehicular languages of the world. These are: English, French, German, Russian and Spanish, according to the statistics of the prominent American scholar Lawrence Venuti. |

We will not hesitate
to raise the cost on Russia and defend our vital interests and our people. And wewill be more effective in dealing with Russiawhen we work in coalition and coordination with other like-minded partners. https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/speeches-remarks/2021/02/04/remarks-by-president-biden-on-americas-place-in-the-world/minded partners. 1) to raise the cost on Russia = to demolish the economy of Russia 2) will be more effective = will defeat (Russia) 3) when we work in coalition and coordination = when we lead 4) other like-minded partners = our satellites Biden should have studied history first before starting to brandish thinly-veiled threats against Russia. The arrogant sonofabitch! |

В то же время я дал понять президенту Путину, в совершенно иной манере, чем мой предшественник, что прошли те времена, когда Соединенные Штаты отступали перед агрессивными действиями России — вмешательством в наши выборы, кибератаками, отравлением своих граждан. Мы без колебаний поднимем цену, которую России придется платить, и будем защищать наши жизненно важные интересы и наш народ. И наши отношения с Россией станут более эффективными , когда мы будем работать в коалиции и согласованно с другими партнерами-единомышленниками. |

If it is so misunderstood, then chances are that it was badly written.
And what makes the author of the article believe that his interpretation is the right one?
Good books are NEVER MISUNDERSTOOD. If the author lets in the tactic of "plausible denial",
then he is either afraid of the repercussions or he simply can't help being ambiguous - then he can't write.
Deplorably, the history of American literature abounds in ambivalent writers. But American literature owes its fame to the authors who are absolutely clear in their messages:
Mark Twain, Theodore Dreiser, Jack London, O. Henry, Irwin Shaw, Stephan Heym. Herman Wouk and others who do not need brainstorming on the part of the reader.

By Leo Kelion Technology desk editor
For the most part they go unseen but computer chips are at the heart of all the digital products that surround us - and when supplies run short, it can halt manufacturing.

"In the West, stand-up comedy is about challenging and 'offending' the audience, authorities or social norms," Tony Chou, comedian and owner of Beijing comedy club Humour Section, tells the BBC.
But this is still largely seen as rude or disrespectful by some in China.

Pastila , pronounced with the stress on the final “a”, was first mentioned in the 16th-Century Russian Domostroi (Domestic Order), a codex of household rules and instructions on various religious, social and domestic matters. Originally developed as a means of preserving the apple harvest and providing a sweet treat throughout the winter months, it has nothing to do with the French pastille (another kind of sweet); instead, its name comes fromthe Russian verb postelit’ (to lay out). Pastila is often equated with marshmallow, but this comparison does not do justice to its uniquely ethereal quality. It is made by baking apples until they are soft, then blending them into a purée before whipping them “into clouds” with egg whites and sugar. The mixture is spread out onto trays to a depth of about 2cm, then dried in a cool oven before being cut into strips or shapes. It’s an entirely natural product made exclusively from fresh ingredients; no starches, additives, colourings or preservatives are used, and it is low in calories. Pastila production requires firm, sour apple varieties – Russia’s famous Antonovka is the most suitable, being richer in pectin (a natural gelling agent) than other varieties. http://www.bbc.com/travel/story/20210125-kolomna-the-russian-town-built-by-apple-sweets |

As a longtime trailblazer for Latina women, it was only fitting that Jennifer Lopez spoke in Spanish while relaying a message of unity during her inauguration performance.
After performing “This Land Is Your Land” at the presidential inauguration, Jennifer Lopez broke out her Spanish to deliver an important message.
“Una nacion bajo Dios, indivisible, con libertad y justicia para todas,” the singer said at the top of her lungs. This phrase, in English, is translated to:“One nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.” This call for unity was prominent at the inauguration, as the United States finally moved on from having Donald Trump as president. |

The name of this "successful" poet and turn-coat of Russian extraction does not tell you much, but her words define her as someone who knows a taste of the Great:
'I remember the first book that set my soul on fire was Turgenev's masterpiece 'First Love'', she said, adding: 'Reading the author's description of how the male protagonist falls in love for the first time, those emotions resonated with me so strongly, it was as if a hand reached out from the past and it has stayed with me ever since.
