-- I just can't understand our current economic situation.

-- I'll explain it to you, -- offers the other.

--. I can explain it, thank you, I just don't understand it.

"Supplies are realized as pieces supplies or as complete investition plants by form of final supply."

"So the material, which could be many-sided useful, is being debased. The main-problem of the projection is to be seen in the firmly established economical operation of the considered machine-set."

And last but certainly not least:

"On our planet caused contaminate water illnesses of millions people. It is problem of all countries. Except big object, which produced big amount of contaminate water is also many small objects, which can not be concluded to sewage disposal plants. [Our company] solved this problem."
