Subject: from Gerri
I am hoping to make contact with someone from the town of Rudya-Marymonava,
about 12 miles southeast of Homiel. My grandfather Ippolit Ivanovitch
Schak (Szakala?) came to the US in 1913 when he was 16 years old. All
contact with his family was lost after the war. Although he passed away, I
hope to continue this seach for him. He came with older companions, most
of them I believe returned to Russia to fight in World War 1. Their names
were Rudacoff, Petrusenko, Satyrev, Marimonov, and Mairov. If anyone could
forward this to someone in the town of Rudnya, I would be forever greatful.
I would like to make contact with anyone in the Homiel area to learn more
of it's history. Wonderful page!!!

Hello everyone,
I have a friend in Unkraine who would like to come and study in the USA.
I know that nationals of the former Soviet Union can get scholarships

more information on this issue? Where in Kiev (I assume) or in USA can
my friend apply for such scholarship. She would like to get a graduate

Thank you.

Subject: Seminar in Novorossiysk announcement-2
Dear friends,
On August 8 I put an announcement of an environmental Seminar in
Novorossiysk. Unfortunately due to a technical failure my server was
down last week and I couldn't get your applications. Please, write
again!
Sincerely yours,
president of the International Discussion Club - Moscow
Andrey Ozharovskii.
------
The International Discussion Club has the honor to announce an
international seminar "Social Activism in Practical Urban
Environmental Projects". The seminar is to be held on October 6-12 in
Novorossiysk, the largest Russian industrial city and port on the
Black sea.
The seminar has the aim of bringing together representatives of
different sectors of society (NGO, science, municipal administration,
universities, charitable foundations) from different countries and of
sharing their experience in implementating urban environmental
projects.
The seminar will concentrate on practical urban environmental
projects - creation, protection and upkeep of city parks, botanical
gardens, arboretums, etc. Both practical and institutional aspects of
this problem will be discussed. A project "Arboretum in Novorossiysk"
which is being implemented by a local initiative group with the
support of the city administration and Leadership for Environment and
Development foundation will be analyzed as a case study.
The seminar program will give the participants an opportunity to
communicate with professors and students from the local university
and even to make their own presentations for local activists.
Site visits and an excursion to a famous vineyard of Abrau Durso is
on the agenda as well.

Subject: geographical coordinates of Russian and American cities & towns
Hi all,
I was wondering if somebody here might know the answer to this question:
where can I find the geographical coordinates (longitude & latitude)
of Russian & American cities and towns in _computer-readable_ form?
I need to be able to determine, from a cgi script, whether two cities/towns
are close together, given their names. Is there a service somewhere on the
net that could help? I'm even willing to pay something for such data,
but would much prefer for it to be free (it's for a completely
non-profit project).
I'd be very grateful for any hints/pointers.
Thanks,
Ilya

I saw your Russian WWW Resource listing on the Web today.
My advertising and PR firm is based in Orange County, Califiornia. We are
seeking someone who could help us with a project. The individual must read
and write Russian (and of course English) and have some background in
advertising and marketing.
If you could provide a referral or direct me to a list of local club

Thank you in advance for your help...our quest has been unfruitful thus
far!

Subject: your page
I have been working on an interactive web site called Shalom/Salaam, but
it is a tiny effort compared to your work.
I have a micro ? for you and don't know if/where it is appropriate. I am
a Fulbright scholar to St. petersburg Russia in ~ Jan 1998 to SPSU.
I've been invited to teach in the conlfictology program (I teach
conflict resolution, leadership, group dynamics etc) and perhaps the
School of Management. I would like to find an English speaking school
for my 15 year old honors teenage daughter. She's in the International
Bacalaureate (sp?) here - do you have any suggestions for where to
search or chat?
Thank you. I'm sure I'll visit your site again, perhaps I can
incorporate it into my grad class in group dynamics syll?
Best regards,
Barb Stuart

A little something to think about.
If we could shrink the Earth's population to a village of precisely
100 people. With all existing human ratios remaining the same, it
would look like this:
There would be 57 Asians, 21 Europeans, 14 from the Western
Hemisphere (North and South) and 8 Africans.
51 would be female; 49 would be male
70 would be non-white; 30 white.
70 would be non-Christian; 30 Christian.
50% of the entire world's wealth would be in the hands of only 6
people and all 6 would be citizens of the United States.
80 would live in substandard housing.
70 would be unable to read.
50 would suffer from malnutrition.
1 would be near death , 1 would be near birth
Only 1 would have a college education.
No one would own a computer
When one considers our world from such an incredibly compressed
perspective, the need for both tolerance and understanding becomes
glaringly apparent.....
