Education in Russia

The education in Russia have it's origin long before 18 or 17 century. By the 10th century we had already had dozens books translated from Greek to Slavonic language.

In pre-revolutionary period, a lot of tries were made to create common network for all levels of education. But finally it was accomplished after 1917. Nevertheless, there were schools, lycées and universities for nobles. Here you could learn various subjects like grammar, mathematics, logic and so forth.

The first university was founded in 1755. Thanks to M.V. Lomonosov we made the first step in filling the gasp of having a special place where people could get the higher education.

When the Soviet Union was driving the government, all citizens got the right to study in different education organizations. And nowadays, Russian Federation continues to provide this benefit.

Maria Curie

Maria Curie (Sklodowska) - is the Physics, Mathematics and Chemistry scientist, who invented the
radium and the notion of "radioactivity" in early XX century.

She was born in Poland on 1867 and got education in Paris. It was an extremely difficult period of her life because of poverty and complicated curriculum.

Eventually, she got the Master's degree in Mathematics and Physics and met her future husband - Pierre Curie. He was scientist as well, and accompanied Maria in her investigations.

Mde. Curie made researchs on steel until French scientist Becquerel represented the X-Rays of uranium. She was interested and started in her own investigations in this field. Soon Maria found a steel that emitted more powerful rays than element she had known before. It's name is "radium".

This breakthroughs were noted by The Association of Scientists, and she got two Nobel prizes.

DEC and IBM - history of computers

Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) is a major hardware and computer producer company, founded by Kenneth Olsen and Harlan Anderson in 1957. The main goal is creating computers for non-professional customers rather than programmers. From 1960s to 1970 company introduced the PDP series, where each new computer was better and cheaper than previous one.

The first Digital's product is PDP-1, which was much less expensive than dominating mainframes of IBM. The next the PDP-8 became the first minicomputer in the world. And the last one - the PDP-11 got popular because of its flexibility and being low in price.

After financials problems in 80s, DEC made an alliance with other leading corporations in the contracts with US Atomic Energy Commission. As the consequence, they closed the parallel between customer-oriented products and computers, made for government.

Another dominating company in this period was IBM. From 60s to 80s it occupied the mainframes market, but lost positions in sphere of high-performance computing.

In 1981 IBM involved the standard for micro-computing. Company introduced their first micro-computer named IBM PC. It's main feature was a compatibility with computers of IBM family.

In 1997 an IBM supercomputer Deep Blue defeated the Garry Kasparov - the world chess champion. The artificial intelligence reached a brink of its development.

Hitchhiker's guide to the future!

Welcome the human from the past!

Nice to meet you in our Earth's capital. I guess you are really excited and want to see more. But keep calm and take a cup of sea or fresh water. Don't worry, you can drink each of them...

Now, I think you want to see your relatives. It is quite easy, so you even don't have to remember your DNA code. Just go to the nearest building looks like a phone-box from the past and tap your thinger on it. Eventually, you will see all existed information about yourself and your relatives. This "phone box" which we call simply "Toxes" are technologies, which gives you opportunities to teleport, call the police and, for example, treat your simple diseases like an arm-broken or a cancer.

If you want to teleport, be more attentive in choosing of your arriving point. Sometimes the names of the cities in the Earth match to the Mars ones.

Till you come to your family, buy some souvenirs for them. It will help your relatives to distinguish you from robots. Because machines don't understand this. Scientists were trying to program the importance of this act for about 10 years, but they fault. Robots can't get, why one man gives a thing to another man and receiver hide it in his house and never remember about this...

Anyway, you stay alone and don't know where to go. Don't worry, you can set your brain to the our global telepathy mass media named "The voice of the Earth". Sometimes you can hear there the road to the nearest Tox according to your position. There is so much information in our world, so people's primitive mind can't get all of data. And hence, it should sometimes remove not very important information like the count of the mainlands in the Earth and, of course, the road to the nearest Teleportation Box.

Ok, I hope you will have a good time in the Solar system. Please, don't be scared about falling smoking stubs from the sky.

With best wishes,
Deep Thought

ESLPOD.com - listen and check!

Good news, everyone!

This my new topic :) Yeah, I've done it.

Today, I gonna talk about ESL podcasts hosting by Jeff Mcquillan from the US, Los-Angeles city, California.

I bought the one-month subscription, which got me a permission to download and save a couple of podcasts. The number is about 15 - 20. You can choose tracks by yourself or get the set (unit) of materials, which is prepared for you by ESL team.

Each podcast has its own category. But they don't distinct so much. The main difference is the information placing here. For example, in "Daily english" you analyse the certain text, given to you by the Jeff with very slow speed. Also he defines words in his material and review them in easy manner.

I've already listened 3 podcasts. They have the same format. In addition, every podcast goes with PDF file, in which you can get the material in the text form. I very like them. I try to listen everyday at least two times.

Attention! Attention! New topics in English are coming!

Hey, Everybody!

Today, I decided to re-open my personal blog with one wish: this place should be my area of imagination and creativity. There I will publish almost all my thoughts (of course in english) without any time scopes. Everyday at least one post about everything!

Why I've said "almost"? Because of Twitter :) It allows me to speak with whole world. And this fact gained my attention (yeah, very fluent).

Ok! Let's do this!
