Few years ago, when I was working with(for) lenta I launched a project for renewing digital portable scanning devices in stores to modern devices. We got technical requirements from internal customers and discussed key points (went over the details) for new equipment. We ran a procurement procedure and received different proposals from suppliers. After considering the proposals and discussing with internal customers, we realized that only one device meets the tech req. It was very strange our procurement department, because the price of proposal was too high. We decided to clarify the requirements and to dismiss the monopoly. Of course, we had to be prepared to claims from internal customers because we had understood they want to get only that expensive devise. But there were other opportunities. During a month and having passed a lot of negotiations with competitors and extra suppliers, we realized that there were a few other options in the market with the same tech req but half priced. Those devices were made in China but had quite a good exp in Russia. We have pointed out this case for our internal customers and during another set of neg reached an agreement with them to include new options and new devices to dismiss the monopoly from req. After that we started a new procedure(s) and reached a() good results with benefits for the company.

After we started a new procedure, we reached good results and got many benefits for the company.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
French President Emmanuel Macron is set to hold talks in Moscow in a bid to help de-escalate the tense situation around Ukraine.

Russia is urging the US and its allies to bar Ukraine from joining NATO

The French President is hoping to 'de-escalate' the situation

Mr Macron spoke with the US President prior to his flight and the two leaders say they are coordinated

The concentration of an estimated 100,000 Russian troops near Ukraine has fuelled Western worries that it heralds a possible offensive, with White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan warning that Russia could invade Ukraine "any day," triggering a conflict that would come at an "enormous human cost."

Russia has denied any plans to attack its neighbour but is urging the US and its allies to bar Ukraine and other ex-Soviet nations from joining NATO, halt weapons deployments there and roll back NATO forces from Eastern Europe.

The US and NATO have rejected the demands.

Mr Macron, who is set to meet in the Kremlin with Russian President Vladimir Putin before visiting Ukraine, said last week that his priority was "dialogue with Russia and de-escalation."

White House aligns with France

Before heading to Moscow, Mr Macron had a call with US President Joe Biden.

They discussed "ongoing diplomatic and deterrence efforts in response to Russia's continued military build-up on Ukraine's borders and affirmed their support for Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity," the White House said in a statement.

The French presidency said Mr Macron sought to ensure "good coordination" with Mr Biden in the call.

In an interview with French newspaper Journal du Dimanche, Mr Macron said that "we won't get unilateral gestures but it is indispensable to prevent a degradation of the situation before building confidence gestures and mechanisms".

"The geopolitical objective of Russia today is clearly not Ukraine, but to clarify the rules of cohabitation with NATO and the EU," Mr Macron said.

"The security and sovereignty of Ukraine or any other European state cannot be a subject for compromise, while it is also legitimate for Russia to pose the question of its own security."

However, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov downplayed Mr Macron's plans to ease tensions.

"The situation is too complex to expect decisive breakthroughs in the course of one meeting," he said.

"In recent days there has been nothing new on the topic of security guarantees for Russia, our Western interlocutors prefer not to mention this topic."

History of brokering peace

In 2015, France and Germany helped broker a peace deal for eastern Ukraine in a bid to end the hostilities between Ukrainian forces and Russia-backed separatists that erupted the previous year following the Russian annexation of Ukraine's Crimean Peninsula.

The agreement signed in the Belarusian capital, Minsk, helped stop large-scale fighting, but efforts at a political settlement have stalled and frequent skirmishes have continued along the tense line of contact in Ukraine's eastern industrial heartland called Donbas.

The leaders of Russia, Ukraine, France and Germany last met in Paris in December 2019 in the so-called Normandy format summit, but they failed to resolve the main conflicting issues.

Amid the tensions over the Russian military build-up, presidential advisers from the four countries held talks in Paris on January 26, but they didn't make any visible progress and agreed to meet again in Berlin in two weeks.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has pushed for another four-way Normandy summit, but the Kremlin said a meeting of leaders would only make sense if the parties agree on the next steps to give a special status to the rebel east.

Mr Putin and his officials have urged France, Germany and other Western allies to encourage Ukraine to fulfil its obligations under the 2015 agreement, which envisaged a broad autonomy for the rebel east and a sweeping amnesty for the separatists. The agreement stipulated that only after those conditions are met would Ukraine be able to restore control of its border with Russia in rebel regions.

Space to play or pause, M to mute, left and right arrows to seek, up and down arrows for volume.

Stan Grant explains the increasingly tense situation on the Russia-Ukraine border.

The Minsk deal was seen as a betrayal of national interests by many in Ukraine and its implementation has stalled. Amid the latest tensions, Ukrainian authorities have strongly warned the West against pressuring Ukraine to implement the agreement.

Last week, Oleksiy Danilov, the secretary of Ukraine's National Security and Defence Council, told The Associated Press that an attempt by Ukraine to fulfil the Minsk deal could trigger internal unrest that would play into Moscow's hand.

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba noted that Moscow wants the rebel regions reintegrated into Ukraine in order to use them to effectively block the country's pro-Western aspirations, vowing that "this is not going to happen."

2. Если подлежащее выражено неодушевленным объектом или животным, то используйте what, если одушевленным - who

3. Определите время в предложении

4. Постройте вопрос. На первое место встанет who/what, на втором месте окажется глагол в ТОМ ЖЕ времени, что и в начальном предложении. Остальные слова остаются без изменения.

Обратите внимание: если подлежащее выражено множественным числом, то после who/what будет использоваться глагол для единственного числа. (Children ARE playing basketball. Who IS playing basketball?)

А теперь попробуем перевести:

1. Кто был в музее, когда сработала сигнализация?

Who was in the museum when the alarm activated? went off

1. Что упало со стола во время урока?

What fell down at the lesson? +

1. Кто закрыл шкаф в комнате?

Who closed the closet in the room? +

1. Что пробежало в саду вчера вечером?

What ran through in the garden yesterday evening? +

1. Кто взял на себя ответственность в той ситуации?

Who took the responsibility in that case? +

1. Что помогло тебе довести дело до конца?

What helped you to finalize the case?  +

1. Кто был рядом с тобой в тяжёлое время?

Who were next to you in hard times? +

1. Что спасло твою жизнь?

What saved your life? +

1. Кто твой самый лучший друг?

Who is your the best friend? +

1. Что может помочь тебе поверить в себя?

What would help you to believe in yourself? +

Key Takeaways

Most people find working from home to be challenging-especially at first. From piles of dirty laundry to daytime TV, there are tons of distractions.

And sometimes, pajamas and a comfortable seat on the sofa just don't provide the same type of motivation you get from a suit and an office chair.

Whether you're home alone and the house is too quiet, or you're home with the family and the kids are out of control, you may find it's tough to stay on task, get your work done, and feel productive. Fortunately, the following strategies can help you stay motivated when you work from home.

1. Create a Schedule

Without a structured workday, time can get away from you. You might find that you start shifting your workdays later and later as you sip an extra cup of coffee. Then, your work hours extend later into the evenings, which causes you to stay up later at night, as well.

Or you might find that you easily get off track or distracted while working. And projects that used to take 20 minutes are suddenly lasting 2 hours.

That's why it's important to have a clear schedule. Establish a time to begin and end work. Try to stick to it as much as you can.

2. Establish a Dedicated Workspace

You might be tempted to work in bed. After all, it's likely the most comfortable space in the house.

But when you associate your bed with work, it can interfere with your sleep. And trouble sleeping will affect your performance the following day. Most sleep experts recommend reserving your bed for sleep and sexual activity.

So even though your bed might feel like a comfortable spot, create a workspace somewhere else. The kitchen table or a desk in the corner of the living room might be better alternatives to your bedroom.

3. Work in Small Blocks of Time

Blocking out small amounts of time-and planning what you'll do during that timeframe-can make big tasks feel more manageable.

You might find you have more motivation when telling yourself that you just need to complete one invoice in the next 30 minutes, rather than telling yourself that you have 50 invoices to create by lunchtime.

Scheduling your time will also hold you more accountable. You'll be less likely to get lost on social media when you know you only have 15 minutes to complete a task. And you'll be less likely to procrastinate when you've given yourself a tight deadline.

4. Limit Your Distractions and Interruptions

You might find that you struggle to get back on task each time you're interrupted. You can stay motivated by limiting the distractions and interruptions you experience.

This may mean muting your phone notifications and only checking your email once an hour. Or placing your phone on "Do Not Disturb" until you complete a specific task.

If you're working from home with kids, keep them occupied to reduce how often they interrupt you. Give them tasks to do and plan to check on them at a certain time.

Establish some ground rules about what constitutes a legitimate reason for them interrupting you while working. Then, you can reward them for playing well on their own with a chance to do something extra fun when you're finished working.

5. Practice the "10-Minute Rule"

It can be hard to convince yourself to start working on a task you really don't want to do. Whether you know it's going to be boring, frustrating, or just really challenging, convincing yourself to get started is tough.

One of the best ways to get moving on something you don't want to do is by using the "10-minute rule." Tell yourself that you only have to work on something for 10 minutes. Then, after the 10-minute mark, you can take a break if you want.

More times than not, you'll likely find that at the 10-minute mark you'll choose to keep going. Usually, getting started is the toughest part. But once you do, it's easy to keep the momentum going.

6. Reward Yourself

You might find you work best when you know there's a little reward waiting for you. For example, tell yourself you can watch your favorite show if you get your work done by 6 p.m. Or tell yourself you can have a cup of your favorite tea as soon as you finish this report.

A little incentive can often go a long way toward helping you get work done efficiently. And it'll help you see what you're capable of accomplishing.

7. Challenge Yourself

Sometimes, a little challenge can help get you moving, too. For example, you might try to write a certain amount of words in 30 minutes. Once you see how many words you write in 30 minutes, you might try beating that during the next 30-minute time slot.

You might also make some discoveries about yourself. Maybe you type faster when you're sitting at the kitchen table, or perhaps you have better focus right after lunch. Learning these things about yourself might help you set up your day for success.

Being more aware of your time helps you use it wisely. And challenging yourself in some way might provide the extra incentive you need.

8. Practice Good Self-Care

You'll never be at your best if you're exhausted and running on caffeine and sugar only. You need a healthy diet, plenty of rest, and good self-care strategies to perform at your peak.

But meeting your physical, social, and emotional needs right now will be a bit more challenging than usual. Eating a healthy diet might not be as easy when you're limiting your trips to the grocery store. And video chatting with friends isn't the same as meeting in person.

So take a step back every once in a while and ask yourself what else you can do to better take care of yourself. As your stress level increases, your self-care should increase right alongside it.

9. Experiment With Different Strategies

There are plenty of online tips about how to work well from home. But everyone is different. And what works for one person might not work well for another.

So it's important to experiment with different strategies to discover what works well for you. You might find you feel more motivated in the evenings, or you might have more energy after a morning workout.

10. Practice Regulating Your Emotions

Research shows we tend to put off tasks that stir up uncomfortable emotions.﻿﻿ If you're anxious about a medical appointment, you might not be motivated to call the doctor. Or, if you're afraid studying will bring frustration, you might find yourself binge-watching Netflix instead.

In these cases, the lack of motivation stems from your desire to avoid discomfort. And when you're working from home, there are always plenty of opportunities to engage in something more fun than the work you're supposed to be doing.

So consider what emotion(s) you're trying to avoid feeling. Acknowledging the emotion might make it feel less scary. Remind yourself that you can handle feeling uncomfortable.

Additionally, remind yourself of how good you'll feel when you get the project done, as opposed to how bad you'll feel if you don't do the work. This might remind you to take action regardless of whether you feel like it.
