Aivazovsky is one of my favourite artists. All his works are real masterpieces. He was a Russian marinist, so he is closed to me in two ways: firstly, he is a representative of Russian School of Art, secondly, he painted seas, oceans.
When you look at this picture you feel peace and pacification. To my mind, the artist decided to do this picture is black and white because he wanted a spectator to deep into thought about the life near the sea. I think such colour express much more than colourful pictures. The piture is rather light-coloured, I mean there are more white, grey colours which make it softer. The lines are vague. The sea merges with the sky. It makes the sea interminable. There is a balance of space and objects in the picture and also we see the unity of colours. The sea is calm, so the rhythm of the picture is also calm. The sea is the main object which makes the whole impression of the masterpiece.
I like this picture. I believe that Aivazovsky is one of the popular and modern artist nowadays inspite he is not alive. Geniuses live forever.

James Cameron
1. James Cameron was a bookworm when he was a child. He read science fiction everywhere. I think he wasn't a popular boy at school and he didn't have a lot of friends, maybe just few closed friends who also were deep into study. He was weird in comparison with other students. I believe such people are very interesting but they live in their own world, so it's rather difficult to understant them, their thought.
2. the 60s was the time of new inventions, explorations, so it influenced much on James Cameron mind. He was interested in scince fiction and he was always around the science. Nowadays we have also new inventions, and it also change our life. Life has become faster. You don't catch sigh of how your day comes to an end. That's pity. You should always be in harry not to miss all events of the day.
3. Diving and drawing were the most important things for James Cameron when he was young, because he was very creative and imaginitive. He liked to draw alien world, aliend creatures, robots while there were no such things in the world at that time. He was interested in diving also because of the unusual water creatures, underwater life, plants. He adored it!
As for me, the most important things are languages and music, I can't live without these two items. The first will help me in my career, the second helps me to be in the mental equilibrium.
4. He introduced CG and ILM in these films. They are very significant!
5. James Cameron is fond of these two films. He shot Thi Titanic because he wanted to dive and see this real sunk ship. To my mind, he likes to imagine more, and after that find some facts, do explorations. For me, to imagine is more closed because I'm also an imaginitive person (:
6. The first lesson is that your team respect you and this fact is more important than money and success from the tram. And the second lesson is that you should not create any limits for yourself, you should do what you want, what you desire, not to fear do impossible things! I agree with him. He is absolutely right.

News
1)How might allowing cameras inside the U.S. Supreme Court chambers affect
news coverage of their cases?What might be the pros and cons of video coverage of Supreme Court cases for both viewers and the Supreme Court?
I believe that allowing cameras inside courts will increase the interest of people, so the judges will have more responsibility when they pass sentence. The disadvantage of allowing cameras is that there can be reiteration of some scenes, so the trial might be longer than it has been.
2)According to CNN's Jeffrey Toobin, what issue regarding President Obama's health care law was discussed yesterday in the U.S. Supreme Court?
They discussed the Affordable Care Act, which wouldn't go fully into effect until 2014.
3)According to Toobin, how did the judges appear to react to these arguments?What is your opinion about arguments regarding the timing of the hearing?How do you think that supporters and critics of the health care reform law feel about the timing of the hearing?
They felt that now is the time to deal with the law, now is the time to weigh the constitutionality. I think that they are thinking about right things, changing law, of course, will bring a lot of new problems, but on the other hand, it will solves many previous ones, which is more important nowadays for America.
4)Who is the leader of the Roman Catholic Church?
Pope Benedict XVI
5)How would you describe the tone of the crowd waiting for Pope Benedict XVI in Mexico?
They were waiting him with hope. They desired to see him and when the Pope went along the street they were happy and even mad. Crowd had the Vatican flag.
6)According to the report, what message did Pope Benedict XVI include in his sermon?
I think he told about the freedom of their religion and ways of Catholic live. Also, he wanted to attract the attention of other people to join them to his religion
7) In your view, what is the significance of a religious leader visiting a country?
He wore a sombrero and it was very strange. To my mind, he wanted to show that they are in "Union", so people can trust and rely on him. Also, he spoke on the native language of Mexican people, so it also means that they are closed to each other.
8)What technique does Nelson Dellis use for memorization?
He turns numders into pictures and it helps him to remember their order.
9)What might be the advantages of relying on the memorization technique seen in the program versus other ways of finding information (e.g. Internet searches)?
You develop you mind, the speed of your thought.
10)Would you want to learn the memorization technique featured in the report? Why or why not?
I think yes, because my memory will be developing and I will be able to learn more words and languages.
11)Do you have any unique methods of memorizing information? Explain.
I consider that if you want to learn many English/French/German etc. words the best to memorize them is using word-cards. When I prepare for exams, I always to it and it works, it helps me to remember all words. Also, it takes little time to learn them, if you have good memory.
