For those who are looking for a platform replacement, there is good news: you can transfer all tracks and playlists to Yandex Music from Spotify. We explain, how to do it.
History of the week
The stereotype that children from orphanages always face a very difficult and tragic fate is still popular. Our heroine confidently refutes it. She volunteered, found her biological relatives, opened her own business and collaborated with LEGO, Louis Vuitton and other major brands. But behind her shoulders is a baby house, "refusenik syndrome" and panic attacks.
Dasha told, which helped her get through the difficulties and explained why new toys are not the best help for children from the orphanage.
Interview of the week
You must have heard the name of Asya Kazantseva, a science journalist and writer. Back in January, we spoke with her about the influence of genes on human intelligence and attitudes, as well as brain training, the benefits of idleness, and her new book. And finally, you can read this informative interview.

The best of our social networks
We remind you of our VKontakte community. In it, we publish useful posts, but do not forget about memes.
