Subject: Travelling to Russia. Can anybody help?
Privet! :-)
Please can anybody advise or help me? I am travelling alone to my
destination in Russia in the Summer. I am not an experienced traveller....
And my Russian is very poor :-(
To reach my destination, I will have to change airports in Moscow - from
Sheremetyevo 2 to Sheremetyevo 1.
Does anybody know about this transfer between airports? Can anybody offer
me advice or tell me about it? Are the airports far apart? How do you
reach one from the other? Is there an airport service? Or a regular
transfer service? Is it easy for an English person? Are there any
services to enable people (especially foreigners) to go from one airport to
the other quickly, easily and safely?
I will be glad for any advice, information, or help It is the one thing
that is preventing me from making the journey.
Many Thanks
Bolshojoe Spasibo!
Kath :-)
P.S. Are British people still welcome in Russia? (because of the NATO
events). Or will I have trouble because of my nationality......

Subject: Summer Language School
Hello! My name is Natasha Tabunschikova. I come from Zelenogorsk, a
town in Krasnoyarsk region, Central Siberia. I am an Assistant Principal
of Linguistic Gymnasia in charge of international cooperation. We are
searching for teachers - native English speakers - and students, who
would volunteer to participate in the International Language Summer
School, which will take place in June 1999.
The International Language Summer School is organized by Linguistic
Gymnasia # 164 and the Department of Education of the city of Zelenogorsk.
Since 1995 until 1997 it was held on the campus of the regional
Cosmonautic School situated in the picturesque woods area outside
Zelenogorsk. In August 1998 the Summer Language School was based in
the sanatorium on the Obskoe Sea shore, outside the city of Novosibirsk.
This year the 5th International Summer Language School will take place in
the same suburban area of the city of Novosibirsk for two weeks since
June 19 until July 2 / 1999. The School will be housed in the sanatorium,
which provides comfortable rooms, classrooms, good food, nice recreational
facilities.
The participants of the International Summer Language School are the best
students of Linguistic Gymnasia and other schools of Zelenogorsk, who are
keen on the English language and culture, and have passed complicated
entrance exams. Each year we host delegations from abroad. Since 1995
students and teachers from the United States, Great Britain and Poland
have participated in the Summer School.
Our aim is to help students realize their full potential, thereby
educating the whole person. The School provides a professional and
friendly atmosphere in which students find it easy to improve their
English. Every morning the students have specialized classes based on
the curriculum and the theme of the Summer School, which include language
games, discussion sessions, world culture, press-club, etc. We employ the
best teachers from Linguistic Gymnasia and foreign educators, who work on
voluntary basis. Students are encouraged to undertake projects and make
presentations, so within the program all the students have the choice of
individual research work under the teacher's supervision, which results
in the creative defense of the projects on the last School day.
Presentations are video-taped so that students can analyze their own and
each other's performance and improve their skills.
The School encourages all students to continue practicing English after
classes, we are determined to ensure that they all benefit fully from
the interaction with Staff both inside and outside classroom. The School
lives a full cultural and social life. In the afternoon we offer sports
competitions, intellectual games, quizes. We feel that a fit body makes
for a healthy mind, thus we offer as wide a range of sports, games and
recreational activities as possible in the hope that all our students
find some form of activity which interests them.
We also understand the importance of educating our youngsters in all the
different aspects of Arts in its fullest sense and developing their
creative skills. Every evening we have various entertaining competitions,
shows, performances, presentations, parties, discos, etc. according to
the program and the theme of the School, where in a friendly and
creative environment the talents are fully revealed and good relationships
are established and new friends are made. All foreign participants are
encouraged to make presentations of their cultures.
Besides, we offer several tours of the city of Novosibirsk, including
main city cites, museums, art gallery, Academic city (scientific center
of Siberia) and a bout tour on the river.
We can assure you of a particularly warm welcome and hope you will be
encouraged to participate in our Summer Language School and experience
at first hand our way of life, which is designed to generate an
environment where we live happily in a friendly atmosphere, in which
classes and recreation are an important part.
If a teacher comes to participate in the School, he/she will have to work
out the program for his/her classes. We can discuss this in detail after
he/she has confirmed their coming and participating. We will provide
accommodation, food, cultural program, excursions to the city of
Novosibirsk, transfers. There is no charge for that. The teacher pays
the airfare to get to Novosibirsk and return. Students from any
countries are welcome to participate and be a part of international
classes, they pay 170 US dollars per person for a two-week program
which includes accommodation in the sanatorium, food, transfers,
tuition and activities at School, cultural program, excursions to the
city of Novosibirsk.
The time framing for the School is June 19 - July 2/ 1999. There may
be the second session starting in early July as we have a lot of
interested students.
If you've got interested, please be free to ask any questions and I
will provide you more information and a detailed every day program.
And I can assure you of a very warm welcome!
I am looking forward to hearing from you. Email me at:

Subject: We search for the partners for cooperation
Tupolev Kazan State Technical University (former Kazan aviation
institute - KAI) and inventor Dr. Boris Perelshtein offers a line of
projects.
1. The unit on reception of water from external environment is invented.
Depending on size the productivity can make from 0,5 tons per day up to
1500 tons per day. At absolute humidity in 15 grammes of water in one kg
of air the received cost price of water changes from 5 up to 25 dollars per
ton. It is possible to use any energy drive. Use of solar batteries is
preferable for small units. The market - all countries of the World
Preferable season of work - summer, since latitude of Volgograd (Russia) up
to southern latitude of Australia. PREFERABLE form of co-operation - joint
venture. Our contribution is two patents. The investments, design,
technological development, placing of order, manufacturing and realization
of the end product are required. We ready to consider any other forms of
co-operation.
2. The units of inert gas for suppression of fires are invented. The unit
is created on base of the air engine gas generator taken after flying life.
As against one ton of water, which at traditional use gives one cubic metre
of extinguishing substance, one ton of kerosene (for 37 minutes) is capable
to create of 15000 cubic metres of extinguishing substance with temperature
from minus 20C up to plus 20Û by this unit (at the charge of air on an
inlet 8,5 kg / sec). Thus, the residual contents of oxygen in products of
combustion will be over 5 % (per the unit of weight). At the similar ratio
of parameters of inert gas it is possible to extinguish various types of
fires: in wood, on gas and oil fields, in buildings, warehouses. This
method does not put additional destructions, that allows to use it during
fires in book depositories, picture galleries, museums. The market - all
countries of the World PREFERABLE form of co-operation - joint venture.
Our contribution - four patents. The investments, design, technological
development, placing of order, manufacturing and realization of the end
product are required. We ready to consider any other forms of
co-operation.
3. Is invented MULTI-CYCLE regenerative internal combustion engine. At
two-cycle mode of operations the specific effective flow rate of fuel
Csp.eff = 155 g/hp h (209 g/kW h). At the best modern engines it
achieved 190-195 g/hp h.
It is possible to expect good ecological parameters because of
prolonged stroke on expansion step. Considered ICE it is possible to
attribute to a for the present not existing class of "multy-cycle"
engines. It can work in a mode of two ñ three ñ four ñ five etc. steps.
The market - all countries of the World PREFERABLE form of co-operation
- joint venture. Our contribution - patent and 10 potential orders on
the specific engines. The investments, design, technological
development, placing of order, manufacturing and realization of the end
product are required.
We ready to consider any other forms of co-operation.
You can acquaint with some fragments of the listed offers on site of
