Actor’s New Paradise

It has been announced that Tom Hanks and his wife have bought a new estate. They have paid 26 million dollars to buy a house in Pacific Palisades. The estate is said to be on the biggest in Los Angeles area. The 26 million purchase includes about 15 000 square feet, four bedrooms and five bathrooms. They say that the new house is twice bigger than their previous house. The surroundings are rather famous. The community has about 30 000 people living there. It has been the site for some film shootings. The place is really great for enjoying life there.

One may say it’s useless to spend so much money for a house, but Tom is a great actor and he has taken part in many great films and each film brought him a fortune. He is one of the actors whose films have always been blockbusters and they will continue the same way.

The area they have chosen is ideal for the family life and it’s rather quiet and it seems to be very private. Many celebrities are eager to buy a house there. Besides, the best of the best are living there and Tom will find somebody to talk to.

Russian market opportunities

Financial and economic crisis brought a lot of troubles for small and medium business all over the world. Large companies with their stabilizing funds managed to control their activities but small teams suffered a lot. But as everybody nows there is no bad news without good news following.

Facing crisis and financial loses at their traditional markets managers of SME started to explore new markets. I just mentioned that my favorite online store selling discounted designer clothing Forever Fashion created a new site that is 100% oriented to the Russian speaking customers - ForeverFashion.ru. The things are the same but the content is translated into Russian so as domain is not "com" but "ru". I'm sure that it's not because they like to speak Russian but because they want to cover a new market with their services. Good idea, I think!
