Russia training

Coal pipelines have been built in countries such as France (8.8 km), and Russia (61 km), and pipelines are also used for transporting limestone, copper concentrates, magnetite, and gHsonite in other parts of the world. The first coal pipeline, built in Ohio, led to freight rate reductions. The pipeline stopped operation after introduction of the unit train, used exclusively to transport coal from the mine to an electric power generation station.

When I came home from Russia, I was elected President of the Russian Club. As President, I took on a project to record a Russian te>ctbook to cassette tapes for students who are visually impaired. I recruited 15 volunteers and trained them on the recorders. Then, I developed a schedule for the volunteers and set down reading guidelines. We completed the project ahead of schedule. 

Before the appearance of motor cars and construction of good highways, armored trains were considered very useful. They were employed successfully in American Civil War (1861-5), Franco-Prussian War (1870-1) and Souch-African War (1899 1900) (Ref 1). In Russia, where the roads are generally in a poor condition, armored trains were used in WWI and in Russian Civil War (1918-20). Some of the Russian armored trains were makeshift affairs consisting of an ordinary locomotive protected by sandbags and several flat cars with sandsbags laid along the sides (Ref 2)... 

Environmental safety is another priority area of coneern, for those involved in on-site aetivities as well as nearby populations. Russia has provided a great deal of information about current radiation levels. In addition to on-site radiation monitoring, however, every site requires offices trained and equipped to handle emergencies. There must also be monitoring and a response capacity during transit. If any rapid upgrades can be made or equipment sent to improve environmental safety in the very short run, before much of the dismantlement work is completed, then this should be a top priority. 

In midsummer in the Tver region, as in many parts of Russia, blueberries are the currency of daily life. Although berries are not generally sold in local stores, they are nonetheless widely available and strikingly visible throughout the city. Aside from a few mosquito bites and the minimal cost of a train ticket, berry picking is a relatively inexpensive activity, especially for retirees with few demands on their time. Consequently, it is not uncommon for local residents to hop on the train for a quick trip to the... 

The dilemma for the party is how to train revolutionists who will be close to the workers (and perhaps of worker backgrounds themselves) but who will not be absorbed, contaminated, and weakened by the political and cultural backwardness of the workers. Some of Lenin s worries have to do with his conviction at the time that the Russian working class and most of its socialist intelligentsia were woefully backward compared to their German counterparts. In What Is to Be Done German social democracy and the German trade-union movement function repeatedly as the model, in terms of which Russia is found want-... 

In desperation, the Mendeleevs traveled a further 400 miles to St. Petersburg, the capital of Russia. In St. Petersburg, the answer was the same, but fortunately the head of the Central Pedagogical Institute, a training college for high school teachers (where Mendeleev s father had studied) was an old friend of... 

Waksman, Selman Abraham (1888-1973) American Biochemist Selman Abraham Waksman was born in Priluka, near Kiev, Russia, on July 22, 1888, to Jacob Waksman and Fradia London. He received his early education from private tutors and took school training in Odessa in an evening school, also with private tutors.
