Sir Elton John is to mark this year's World Aids Day by becoming a guest-editor of the Independent newspaper and its sister spin-off The i, on Dec. 1.
Currently on tour with Leon Russell in the US, the singer will take a break at the end of the month to step into the editor's chair of the UK daily paper to raise awareness and funds for the worldwide annual charity campaign.
Taking over for the day from the Independent's editor-in-chief Simon Kelner, the notoriously outspoken songwriter is said to be looking forward to promoting the fight against Aids with a mixture of relevant news, features and commentary commissioned himself, according to the Independent's own announcement.
"I'm really looking forward to spending a day in the editor's chair, and I'm pleased to get the chance to put the subject of Aids at the top of the editorial agenda," Sir Elton said.
Kelner added that the musician, already planning the content for his special edition, would be likely to rope in help from other celebrities and high profile friends.
"Elton has been planning this issue for some time and he has quite a few surprises in store," Kelner said.
"From football to music to politics and, of course, on the subject of Aids, Elton has much to say, and I'm sure the Independent of Dec. 1 will be diverse, entertaining and impactful."
A previous one-off edition of the newspaper -- helmed by U2's Bono to raise awareness for the (RED) Aids in Africa campaign in 2006 -- saw a circulation jump of 70,000 copies.
The head of the ROC, Mr. Gundyaev said that the Slavs are barbarians, people second-class, almost animals.
Patriarch Cyril in an interview on Russia: "... In a sense, we are the Church of Cyril and Methodius. They came from educated Greco-Roman world, and went to preach the Slavs. Who are the Slavs were? This barbarians, people who speak an incomprehensible language, these people are second-class citizens, it is almost animals. And so it went to the enlightened men who brought them the light of Christ's truth and donesomething very important - they began to talk to these barbarians in their own language, they created the Slavic alphabet, Slavonic grammar and translated into that language the word of God.
Can someone from our lawyers will try to attract mate Gundyaeva to 282 th article of the Criminal Code? After the quotation is quite falls under: "Actions aimed at inciting hatred or enmity, as well as the humiliation of a person or group of persons on grounds of gender, race,nationality, language, origin, religion, as well as membership of a particular social group, committed publicly or with the use of mass media "
We make a small excursion into prehistory. At the very prehistory. However, if we talk about the Russian - all of which was with them until the Baptism of Russia - all of prehistory. As documented sources not currently exist, except for rare artifacts. All pagan carefully destroyed - and the impression of some such happened, that there is no history until the coming of Christianity to our Russian territory was not. Slavs, they say, somehow somewhere originated from somewhere came from nowhere and ran hand-in skins on forests, digging stick. Animals, he says. And that suits many.

25,000 years ago our ancestors were dressed similarly. Think about you - 25 thousand years ago. Long before there was nothing in Greco-Roman and Hindu-Babylonian. But do know that from thence, by the time the Negro in the literal sense of the tribes were on the palms and ate dates, spitting down the stone. Ie - Were natural troglodytes. But now we are assured though, would have brought culture to the north from the south.
This reconstruction of leather and fur lined beads found on the skeleton in the grave near the town of Vladimir, pp. Sunghir in 1955 Not bad our ancestors dressed, stylish, even by today's glamorous times. Discovery by accident - they dug pit for the plant. There's also found another burial in a similar dress and the "park".
It is curious that the spear lying in the grave is rectified and processed mammoth tusk. How and what technologies ancestors managed to straighten the tusks - presents puzzle (Editor's note.: There is a version of softening mammoth tusk in hydrochloric acid).
