Я уважаю мужчин. Они делают жизнь интереснее, они подают руку, открывают дверь, покупают шоколад и платья. Они встречают нас в аэропортах. Они пойдут на войну, если будет война. Они смелые.

Я уважаю мужчин. Они говорят: "не вопрос", "нет проблем"- и проблем, правда, нет...

Они приезжают за нами в универ, они увозят нас из чужих гостей, привозят домой и накрывают одеялом; им нравится смотреть на нас без макияжа, они берут нас на руки, если есть лужа, им кажется, что мы маленькие и нас надо обнимать. Они правы.

Они становятся отцами, они дают фамилии нашим детям. Они защищают нас. Они пахнут дорогим одеколоном.

Я уважаю мужчин. Слова у них чаще всего совпадают с поступками. Они лучше нас все знают. Им всегда интересно, где мы. Они настойчиво желают платить за наш кофе, хотя сами не знают, почему. Они терпят наши капризы и говорят друзьям: "у неё плохой характер, но она такая красивая!"...

Они прощают нам всё, хотя мы, заметьте, вообще ничего им не прощаем...

Они сильные.

Я уважаю мужчин. Но только мужчин, а не лиц мужского пола.

Thanks for the correction and helping to understand the fault. Its definitely not going to be used in the article "uthman bin affan" alone as i am working on its appearance in other articles such as "Rashidun" etc.

You have been so generous to guide me, i have place the infobox in the article instead of placing a separate template, hope it solves the problem. Ibrahim ebi (talk) 06:34, 23 September 2012 (UTC)

Planetnaya Street, in Solnechny, Dnepropetrovsk, which is on the left bank of the river.

Apartments in this building have one main room, plus a kitchen and a bathroom. As with other residential areas, there is a children's play area and small food shops in the vicinity.
 
Gladkova Street, Dnepropetrovsk

Apartments in these buildings have two main rooms, plus a kitchen and a bathroom. Many, but not all, apartments have double front doors. Mail is left in pigeon-holes on the stair-well wall. Visitors are advised to bring a mobile phone, since apartment buildings have a combination lock on the street entrance, and do not have a bell or intercom on the street entrance. The buildings do not have lifts [elevators in US-English]. Many of the people who live in such apartment buildings would be considered middle-class by English standards.

The wooded area in the foreground includes a large children's play area. All residential areas have small food shops.

One confusing thing is the numbering of apartment buildings, which does not follow the Western pattern. Often the easiest way to find particular numbered apartments is to look at the street map.
