International Satellite System For Search and Rescue Home Description Status Beacons ... Management History of Cospas-Sarsat This satellite system was initially developed under a Memorandum of Understanding among Agencies of the former USSR, USA, Canada and France, signed in 1979. Following the successful completion of the demonstration and evaluation phase started in September 1982, a second Memorandum of Understanding was signed on 5 October 1984 by the Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales (CNES) of France, the Department of National Defence (DND) of Canada, the Ministry of Merchant Marine (MORFLOT) of the former USSR and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) of the USA. The System was then declared operational in 1985. On 1 July 1988, the four States providing the space segment signed the International Cospas-Sarsat Programme Agreement which ensures the continuity of the System and its availability to all States on a non-discriminatory basis. In January 1992, the Government of Russia assumed responsibility for the obligations of the former Soviet Union. A number of States, Non-Parties to the Agreement, have also associated themselves with the Programme. Through their association with the Programme, the States can contribute ground receiving stations which enhance Cospas-Sarsat distress alerting capabilities, and/or participate in international Cospas-Sarsat meetings dedicated to the world-wide co-ordination of System operations and Programme management.

History The history of the Soviet Union has two basic aspects: It continues the history of the Russian Empire, presented in the article on Russia; and it chronicles the unique social system described in the preceding sections of this article. After World War I Post-WW II Arrangements By the end of the war, the Soviet Union was recognized as one of the great powers of the world. Stalin participated with the heads of government of the U.S. and Great Britain at the Tehran Conference in 1943 and at the Yalta and Potsdam conferences in 1945 to decide the overall military and political strategy of the war and a common postwar European policy. The USSR also played a leading role in the preliminary international conferences leading to the establishment of the United Nations in 1945. The Cold War Begins In its approach to postwar problems the Soviet government was motivated by an expansionist policy designed to enlarge the area ruled by Communists loyal to the USSR, to strengthen its security against future aggression, and to utilize the world Communist movement as a means of subverting other countries and bringing them into the Soviet orbit. The new Soviet policy was soon signaled by violations of various wartime agreements. At the Potsdam Conference, held after the victory in Europe, the Soviet government made demands manifestly in excess of the needs of its national security. The demands were rejected by the U.S. and Great Britain to prevent the establishment of a vast Soviet sphere of power. Despite growing acrimony among the Allies, agreement was reached at Potsdam on the general lines of the occupation policy, on various reparations policies, and on the temporary German-Polish and Polish- Soviet boundaries.

48. Russian Russian Experiences Life in the former ussr and PostSoviet Russia is an eye-opening but it is also a very personal saga of the history and transition of one http://www.absolutewrite.com/novels/russian.htm

Play/Screen Writing Freelance Writing Specialty Writing Inside The Cover Book Reviews By Denise M. Clark Russian Experiences: Life in the Former USSR and Post-Soviet Russia By The Raven and Marie Claire VirtualBookworm Publishing April, 2002 108 pages Amazon.com price: $12.95 Was the Russia we grew up fearing truly a monster in disguise, or a country struggling through various leaders and methods to find itself? Russian Experiences: Life in the Former USSR and Post-Soviet Russia is an eye-opening discovery of the true Russia. The Russia of the ‘suburbs’; the Russia of the common worker; the Russia of the struggling family. No political grandstanding in this book, no. This is a story of its people. It’s heart and soul. Unless one went through it, experienced it, and lived it, one can’t ever really know. But a man known as ‘the Raven’ lived through it, and with the help of co-writer Marie Claire, he tells his story of growing up in this Russia to the world. But ‘Russian Experiences’ is so much more than just a story, a riveting story of trial and labor, and of rebirth. It is, in its essence, a moving and dramatic tale of one man’s quest for freedom; not just in a physical sense, but an emotional one as well. The Raven was born into a period of turmoil. The economy was poor, even to the point of many teetering on the brink of privation. Proper education and training for many jobs and positions in the medical field was below standard and proper supplies, not only those needed for basic living, but more importantly, medical supplies were sadly lacking as well. No luxuries of supermarkets, shopping malls, fashion stores and private transportation. Because of a lack of proper medical facilities and care, the Raven suffered a hearing loss accompanied by a speech impediment as a young child, thereby forcing him from early childhood to deal with prejudice because of his handicap. For decades, the Russian ideal of perfection allowed no compassion for those suffering from physical or emotional handicaps, almost an ‘Out of sight, out of mind’ mentality. And so, ‘The Raven’ was practically ignored, existing without really existing in the eyes of society.

Updated 24 December 2003 By Country Code By Country Name Other WTNG pages Acknowledgements Main Page Help Calendar Glossary ... What's New History of Country Codes Introduction... This is an attempt to trace the development of ITU's (formerly CCITT's) country codes assignments. Information was gleaned from vintage ITU/CCITT "Books" (i.e. the Recommendations which are the international telecommunications standards), and whatever else was available. There will be numerous details to be filled in (dates of changes, introductions, circumstances etc). Additional, corrected or updated information to this end would be welcome at wtng(at)wtng.info Document History... Format... This file is ordered first by time (when country codes were established, changed, deleted, etc) then within each particular time by country code. The initial list of 1964 is shown; only the changes are listed thereafter. The 1960 CCITT Red Book featured a list of country codes for Europe that was the precursor for the modern international telephone country code system. Whether this was ever available for subscriber use is unknown; this could have been intended for operator dialling rather than customer dialling. That list went as follows (* represents a code that remains in use in today's country code plan): Note from Dik Winter regarding 60-Luxembourg: "At least this country code has been used in the Netherlands (but at the same time the country code used for Belgium was 32). That must have been in the early sixties indeed. I do not have parts of a phone book showing it, I have only parts of Amsterdam phone books and when direct dialling from Amsterdam to Luxembourg was allowed much later the country code was changed to 352 as it is now, but I have noted it down from another Dutch phone book (presumably that of the province of Zeeland)."

But first of all I want to present a number of pre-20th century cases that I find intriguing. - An object like a flaming torch was seen in the sky, together with spheres which flew over Hungary giving out a brighter light than the stars. (cf. Ribera El gran enigm a, p. 356). - On November 8th ”A great blue sign shining like a face of a man” appeard in the western sky over Moldavia. It remained quite a long time, at the same place, after which it ”hid itself” in the sky again (cf. Letopisetul Moldovcenesc (Picture: A "fireball"-UFO taken in Mexico in 1995, similar described over Robozero in 1663) Another case, similar in many ways, is said to have occured on November 30 in 1663, also this time over Robozero, but to this case there is only brief documents found in St. Petersburgs Historical Files

INTERNATIONAL REPORTS/STUDIES Petroleum Geology of Sakhalin Island, Former U.S.S.R. This report provides a summary of the geology and petroleum potential of Sakhalin Island and the adjoining offshore areas of the Soviet Union. Due to project restraints resulting from time and budget requirements, research has been based primarily on published information to provide the data necessary for the preparation of this report. The first part of this study is an introduction to the geographic and political setting of the area and to the previous investigations. General information on the petroleum exploration, production, transportation, and refining infrastructure is also provided. The second section consists of the regional geology of the area, including its geologic history and tectonic setting. Each of the prospective petroleum basins, and the major structural features of Sakhalin Island, are described in the third and fourth sections, respectively. The fifth part is a discussion of the stratigraphy of the study area, with emphasis on the key source beds, reservoir rocks, and seals. Part six describes several oil and gas field examples. In the seventh section is an analysis of Sakhalin's cumulative hydrocarbon production and an assessment of its recoverable resources, based on published data. The eighth part highlights the current political, economic, geological, and engineering activities and the constraints on future production.

Shop www.sportalas.com Sport news Lithuania / History HISTORY Special thanks to the Microsoft Corporation for their contribution to my site. The following information came from Microsoft Encarta Some scholars believe that Lithuanians inhabited the Baltic area as early as 2500 BC; others believe they migrated to the Baltic area about the beginning of the 1st century AD. The first reference to them by name was in AD 1009 in a medieval Prussian manuscript, the Quedlinburg Chronicle. The Medieval Jogailan Empire With the rise of the medieval lords in adjacent Prussia and Russia, Lithuania was constantly subject to invasion and attempted conquest. As a result, a loose federation of Lithuanian tribes was formed in the early Middle Ages. In the 13th century AD, when the Teutonic Knights, a German militaristic religious order, were establishing their power, the Lithuanians resisted; in about 1260 they defeated the order. About a century later a dynasty of grand dukes called the Jogailans established, through conquest, a Lithuanian empire reaching from the Baltic to the Black seas. The Lithuanian Prince Gediminas occupied Belarus and western Ukraine; his son, Grand Duke Algirdas, added the territory between Ukraine and the Black Sea.

Discussion documents from comrades in the former USSR These are the main points of a discussion that has been taking place between a group of comrades in the former USSR. Until August 1997, they were working as the Socialist Workers Union. They then withdrew from the Workers International to Rebuild the Fourth International, of which they had been part, and subsequently wound up the SWU. But they have continued activity and discussion, and have kept contact with comrades in Britain and elsewhere, two of whom have also contributed to the discussion.] 1. Declaration of principles by independent socialists: Draft By Alexeii Gusev The necessity of struggle Present-day society is split into two parts: those who by their labour produce all material and spiritual value, and those, who, having control of the means of production and the state machine, appropriate the fruits of the labour of others. The interests of the class of working people [see note at end] and the ruling class are opposed to each other and struggle between them is inevitable. The social-economic reforms in the countries of the former USSR are only modifying the forms of domination by the ruling class, not putting an end to it. "Liberalisation" of the economy, privatisation, etc, serves exclusively the interests of the former nomenklatura and the semi-criminal structures. From the division of the bureaucracy’s collective property between various of its representatives the working people have gained precisely zero. Their material conditions have worsened and continue to worsen. The growth of real unemployment, the non-payment of wages, the attack on the rights of wage workers - all this is the inevitable result of the bureaucratic-bourgeois "reform".
