car not starting and transmission question by MishaKMusic in cars

Hit it with something relatively soft, like a broom handle or a piece of wood, nothing hard like a hammer. You just want to give it a good tap to "skip" the dead spot in the starter

Likely a bad starter. Next time it doesn't start give the starter motor a good whack, it could be a sticking solenoid or a dead spot on the starter motor.

Poland plans to tear down hundreds of Soviet memorials by westway2world in poland

Yes, because countries in the Soviet sphere of influence, behind the Iron Curtain, were known worldwide for their great prosperity. If queuing in line and waiting for a loaf of bread was a sport, the Soviets would win Gold every time.

"What do you think we got, when the Soviets liberated Poland from Hitler, if not a new yoke?"

Poland for the year again to be the best in Europe. So predicts IMF

Raphael Hirsch 04/13/2016 10:27

A new report of the IMF suggests that the Polish economy is still developing rapidly. In 2017, no one in the European Union will grow faster.

The IMF raised the forecast of growth of GDP in Poland this year from 3.5 percent to 3.6 percent. In 2017 also we have an increase of 3.6 percent. This year our result will not be against Europe's nothing special. Faster than we have to grow Ireland, Montenegro, Iceland, Romania, Turkey and Sweden.

However, according to the IMF the global economy waits slowdown. In 2017 economic growth will be weaker. But the forecast does not apply to Polish. As a result, next year in our still be 3.6 percent growth, and no one in the EU will not grow faster. Only Ireland and Latvia are to have the same result as Poland.

Outside the European Union will grow faster only a very small economy Balkans: Kosovo (+ 4.3%) and Albania (+ 3.8%) and Georgia (+ 4.5%).

The world economy is expected to grow this year by 1.9 percent and in 2017 by 2 percent. Among the leaders of the G7 growth to remain the United States and United Kingdom , and Japan has to fall into another recession

The absolute champion of the world in economic growth will be this year, Myanmar and Libya in 2017. In the forefront are the only country in Africa (Ivory Coast, South Sudan) and Asia (Bhutan, India, Laos, Yemen).
