Subject: We invite International Election Observers to Belarus
Dear Listreaders:
I would like to draw your attention to the issue of upcoming political
events in Belarus. Briefly, there is a treat of changing the
Constitution without any voting. Or, if the voting will take place
there is a treat of frauds and falsifications.
I apply to all who it may be concern, to support the democracy in
Belarus and to join the international electoral observers team on the
voting day (November 7th, or/and November 24th).
The Belarusian electoral legislation allows "the observers from other
states and international organizations" to attend the polling stations
and electoral commission sessions. (See Article 7, Decree on Deputies
Elections from 27/10/1989). So, the election observation is absolutely
legal, non-partizan action.
International Discussion Club (IDC) will carry out a political seminar
before the elections, will provide the proper accreditation and other
support (visa, etc.). The IDC has a good experience in international
election observation in Russia (1993, 95, 96) and we want to invite as
many participants as possible to join the observation in Belarus.
Details available at:
http://www.cis.lead.org/zarov/belarus.html
or on request: zarov@host.cis.lead.org
Briefly, the current political situation is:
Parliamentary by-elections are scheduled at November 24.
President Lukashenko wants to carry out a referendum on changing the
Constitution on November 7. Parliament stands for the referendum and
by-elections on November 24. Recently Mr. Viktor Gonchar, chairman of
the Central Election Commission of Belarus said, that the Central
Election Commission is not able to carry out the referendum in
November (neither on 7th, nor on 24th) "as the executive power
sabotaged the preparation and do not give money for it".
Nevertheless, I guess, that the elections will definitely take place
soon or later. We should be "Standby".
P.S. We also invite International observers to attend Regional
elections in Russia this winter.
Sincerely yours,
Andrey Ozharovskii, president
of the International Discussion Club - Moscow

Subject: Belarus
Dear friends-and-partners,
In my Friday mail I've announced an international political seminar
devoted to the elections in Belarus to be held in Minsk on November
16-26. The participants of the seminar will get a unique chance to
became official international observers at the by-elections and
Constitutional Referendum.
President of Belarus Lukashenko agreed Saturday to present
his referendum and version of the Constitution on the same day as
Parliament by-elections, on November 24.
So, the date of voting is fixed. First applications for accrediting of
the IDC international observers were delivered to the Central Commission
on Elections of Republic of Belarus. Join us!

the international observation please refer to:

Hello Greg,
We have corresponded a little via e-mail in the past.
I wonder if you know of a directory search for residential telephone
numbers in the city of Kiev. There are websites here for U.S. telephone
numbers and I've heard there are some for Russia, but I don't know of

Subject: Algorithms for Russian text retrieval needed
Hello F&P,
SPL WorldGroup, the company I work for, is looking for algorithms/programs
for Russian text analysis. We are especially interested in replies from
Moscow and SPb universities, Poushkin's House, and similar institutions.
SPL has developed a sophisticated text retrieval system called InterText:
http://www.spl.co.il/tql/tqlmain.html
The system performs full text analysis and retrieval using TQL - Text
Query Language. It finds not only exact matches of strings and substrings
but also all occurrences of words with the same root, and synonyms.
Moreover, it recognizes commonly misspelled words.
Supported text formats include ASCII, HTML, RTF, MsWord, and a few more.
Currently, InterText works with English and Hebrew languages, and is being
ported to Thai.
We plan to write InterText version for Russian texts. Therefore, we are
looking for any algorithms and/or programs that can perform sophisticated
text analysis in Russian. At this stage, we do not care whether the
programs are Web oriented or standalone. Computer platform and language
are not important either.
We would greatly appreciate any hints as to:
- whether such algorithms/programs exist;
- where they can be found (URLs, addresses, other pointers);
- E-mail and snail mail addresses and phone numbers of people who
may know anything on the subject.
Please reply to my E-mail address:

Subject: Ukraine FAQ Plus: Ukrainian Weekly Preview October 20th now
Greetings,
The latest preview of the Ukrainian Weekly is now available
on the Ukraine FAQ Plus site! This is an exclusive regular
feature each week. The Ukrainian Weekly is the largest
weekly newspaper (in English) extant in the Western
world covering Ukrainian issues both in Ukraine and in the
Ukrainian Diaspora. The preview is available on Internet at the
address of the Ukraine FAQ Plus Project. You can obtain
subscription information in order to read the complete articles
when you visit the web-site.
Coming soon - coverage of THE major conference of the year -
The Washington Group's UKRAINE AT 5 - A Progress Report!
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Also, I continue to include FORBES magazine on my list. They evidently
have no proper information about Ukraine and it is hoped that they
actually may read this and eventually learn to do proper research
in future articles about the largest country whose borders are wholly
in Europe. I can only but contribute to this positive endeavor.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Please note that one may now browse the FAQ project using
an advanced three dimensional navigational tool. Point your
browser to http://www.tryzub.com/ for information on how
to download the plug-in for your browser and the actual "mcf"
image which is used for this.
The address of the Ukraine FAQ Plus Project is now:
http://www.std.com/sabre/UKRAINE.html
Either click the button labelled "Current Events" by the
Tryzub (Trident) graphic or scroll down and click the
"Current Events" section summary to access this latest
news.
As always, please feel free to email us at faq@tryzub.com
with comments. We always are looking for contributions
as well.
Regards,
Bohdan Peter Rekshynskyj

OIL PIPE-LINE leak - CLEANUP with "OIL-WATER-SEPARATOR (OWS)
Apollo OWS will reduce oil in water to less than 2ppm in a few minutes
without use of heat, chemicals or back flushing and with [separation tube]
no settling tanks, just a pump attached to our Separator. It is very
economical. Oil recovered is commercially usable by refinery.
Removes water from any emulsified oil or non-soluble hydrocarbon
which weighs at least 1% more or less than water. In the case of a
hydrocarbon which weighs less than water, the liquid would flow out
through the bottom and the water would flow out of the top. (This use of
the technology would require reconfiguration of the separator unit to work
properly).
The technology was developed by a former Dow Chemical Research Staff group
leader. The Apollo technology has been in service for seven years for
pollution abatement in oil refineries, nuclear power plants, automobile
factories, and government institutions, so you know they will work. Over
300 field applications have proven this technology, its effectiveness, and
its economics. No separation medium (the expensive part) in the Apollo
unit has yet failed in the field, so you know they will work and keep on
working.
The technology is based on oleophilic and olephobic fibers which force
very rapid coalescence of oil and water droplets of less than a micron to
greater than 5,000 microns. OWS system increases speed of fluid separation
by many orders in accordance with fundamental equation of Stoke's Law.
Tested and purchased by Esso Tsing Yi Complex in Hong Kong. Will remove
oil from solids (earth) to less than 1% Total petroleum Hydrocarbon (TPH)
content.using biocatalytic Greenzyme in a high shear mixer. Also reduces
Naturally occurring Radioactive Material (NORM) in storage facilities and
used for this purpose by Conoco and Pennzoil. Also used for cleaning oil
tankers. Also useful for treating industrial water system discharge. For
more information contact (russia@aa.net)
Can recover oil from 20-3000 gallons per minute
The Apollo technology can be applied in any size to handle oil separation
requirements for small businesses to food manufacturers, even huge oil
tankers and refineries. It can handle oil spills the size of the infamous
Tanker, Exxon Valdez, but if you have one of those problems on your hands,
you waited too long to talk to us. (Get started now talking to us so you
will be ready for the next time).
Models available, ranging from 2 gpm (gallons per minute) to 1000 gpm.
The 2 gpm unit, model will easily fit into a small corner of a shop or
restaurant. The 10 gpm unit can be hauled by utility vehicles on a small
trailer. The 100 gpm unit, requires a large semi-truck trailer,
and the 1000 gpm unit, well, you won't want to haul that one around since it
probably belongs in a refinery or on a ship.
