People involved in science write in their online diaries on topics they know and love. Chemists - about chemistry, biologists - about biology, astronomers - well, you get the idea. Reading such blogs is terribly interesting: usually their authors talk about some new discovery or branch of their science in simple language, with many examples.

In such heat, what else is there to talk about if not the heat. So I'm talking about the same thing - in the sense of the word 'heat', as well as other words on this topic - 'heat' for example

The television program was one of the episodes of “Oil Paintings” - a talk show hosted by Dmitry Bykov.

In such heat, what else is there to talk about if not the heat. So I’m talking about the same thing - in the sense, about the word “heat”, as well as about other words on this topic - heat , for example: In July there is terrible heat here; By noon the heat became unbearable.
