Leonid

Hasta hace unos días (el 20 de agosto del 2008, para ser preciso), Leonid Stadnyk fue considerado oficialmente el hombre más alto del mundo, con una estatura de 2.57 metros. Sin embargo, ya no es así. (Continúa) Stadnyk será removido del libro de récords Guinness por haberse negado a que los representantes de Guinness lo midieran personalmente. [...]

First of, I must say – cool! Thisthree year old album is finally available in the US – long overdue. One would think DiMeola’s name alone would have insured success in the US. I have no idea of the reasons why this escaped our visions for so long, but here it is, and deserves a bit more elaboration than I normally get into. Leonid is a singer who is popular in Russia, and he managed to get

When I was about to finish my violoncello studies in Helsinki I made a trip to St Petersburg, Russia, and met professor Leonid Korchmar there. Our coincidental meeting resulted in nearly four incredible years of intensive study of symphonic and operatic conducting at the St Petersburg "Rimsky-Korsakov" State Conservatory. Before that...

Quem olha actualmente para a planície de Tunguska, na Rússia, está longe de imaginar o que ali se passou há quase cem anos. No dia 30 de Junho de 1908 uma explosão de uma intensidade tremenda abalou a terra. Na época o fenómeno passou quase despercebido internacionalmente, talvez devido ao isolamento da região, situada em pleno coração da Sibéria. É provável que tenham sido feitas explorações no local mas a turbulência dos anos que se seguiram (a 1ª Guerra Mundial e a Revolução Russa, seguida de uma guerra civil) deve ter apagado todo e qualquer registo do acontecimento. Foi preciso esperar por 1920 para que uma expedição científica consistente fosse enviada a Tunguska, liderada pelo mineralogista russo Leonid Kulik. É a ele que devemos grande parte do conhecimento

Un tiempo atrás hablé sobre Bao Xishun, el chino que recibió el titulo del “Hombre más alto del mundo por crecimiento natural” por parte del Libro Guiness de los Récords. Este record ya fue abatido. El señor Xishun de 2.36 metros de altura fue arrollado por Leonid Stadnik, un ucraniano de 2.56 metros!, 20 centímetros mas alto que el chino. Leonid Stadnik tiene 37 años, pesa más de 200 kilos y calza una talla 60, reside en una pequeña aldea ucraniana en compañía de su madre en el noroeste del país. La vida de este ucraniano fue normal hasta los 14 años, cuando le descubrieron un tumor cerebral. Lo operaron para extirpárselo y desde entonces su cuerpo no ha parado de crecer. Su enfermedad se llama acromegalia. Otro de sus grandes problemas es la ropa. Su talla es siete veces XL, por lo que le es imposible conseguirlos. Creo que con el siguiene video podrán apreciar mucho mejor las enormes dimensiones que tiene Leonid. (more…) Compártelo

The master class is finally over, and everything went perfectly!

On the last day everyone was working as hard as ever, and because of my coming competition in Zagreb I even had to... Read Leonid Korchmar master class, day 5/5

Today I had invited a singer to my master class session, to try out the Leonore's aria from Fidelio. The session was very helpful, and at the same time proved me how very difficult it is to be a good accompanist! You have to be aware of the singer's breathing all the time, never unnecessarily hurry her or hold her back, be always relaxed yourself... Read Leonid Korchmar master class, day 4/5

Today I realized that making a master class is work! Yes, I used to think that the persons who are just hanging around master classes as a some kind of a "secretary" are there really for no reason. Today I understood that, really, there has to be some person who is ready to answer all questions, organize schedule changes, take care of... Read Leonid Korchmar master class, day 3/5

The first master class day is over, and I am really happy and relieved that everything went well. After all this is the first time I am organizing a master class!

Tomorrow my old teacher from St Petersburg Conservatory, Leonid Korchmar will arrive to Finland to teach on a master class organized by me. I have been toying with this idea ever since I moved back to Finland from St Petersburg, but only now I had enough contacts, enough free time and enough willpover to push through with this project. I have... Read Master class of Leonid Korchmar - an introduction

Five hours, 21 minutes for 89 km. That’s a pace of 3 minutes 36 second per km (or 5:48 per mile for our American readers). It’s a 36 minute 10-km race, run nine consecutive times! That would give a guy a place in the top 30 or so of most smaller road races, certainly around South Africa, and it’s remarkable only because it’s just so fast. But what of the physiology? Well, Shvetsov is a sub 2:10 Marathon runner, so he has a speed pedigree that can’t be questioned. So physiologically, his performance is best looked at in terms of his marathon time, and saying that to run Comrades, he has to run back-to-back marathons in 2:32, with a short 5km to finish! Now, when you have a 2:10 marathon best, running 2:32 means you’re running about 16% slower than your best pace for the same distance. And that 16% is critical. The key thing about the elite runner is not necessarily that they have a higher top speed, but that they can sustain a higher percentage of this than m

Tonight, Leonid the Magnificent advanced to the final round of America's Got Talent. I wrote about Leonid a while back so, if you want to see more Leonid coverage, use the search engine at the left and do a site search for Leonid.Congrats to Leonid and the other finalists. I must say it was tough to watch the announcement to those who lost and won't go on in the competition. I must say, in my eyes they are all winners. A lot of dreams died that day and I was sad to share that moment with them.But, like a phoenix, Leonid overcame last year's defeat and came back bigger and better than ever and so I hope that the others persevere and enjoy the same success.--The Clever CynicThe Clever Cynic, http://theclevercynic.blogspot.com/ E-mail: the_clever_cynic@yahoo.com

Posted under {Google Interview Questions} by interviewresources .As I have already said, I had two interviews with Google. Both of the interviews were conducted over the phone (they called me both times). The first interview was with the recruiter and was mostly about my resume and possibilities of me moving to Dublin, Ireland. There was a small technical test too. The second interview was fully
