Edison did not have any education. He went to school only for three months. Then he left it because the teacher considered him a dull boy. His mother became his teacher. The boy loved books and his mother said that he had a wonderful memory. When he first visited a public library and saw a lot of shelves with books he decided that he would know everything in the world. He measured the shelf and decided to read a foot of books every week.
662. Edmond Rostand: sa vie et son oeuvre
Информация пополнение в коллекции 12.01.2009

Edmond Rostand a épousé le 8 avril 1890, à Paris Rosemonde Gérard. Rosemonde était une femme lettrée, intelligente, spirituelle. Elle écrivait, comme son mari, les vers en démontrant une maitrise parfaite de la langue et un certain talant. Si elle navait pas épousé Edmond, elle avait été surement connue et célèbre; la gloire de son mari a éclipsé sa propre réputation. Mais elle paraissait ne pas souffrir de son amour-propre dauteur, au contraire, elle semblait toute dévouée à lart et à la gloire dEdmond. On dit que Rostand après avoir écrit ses pièces commençait à les détester, il voulait les voir plus parfaites. Sa femme en voyant quil allait jeter au feu ses travaux, la supplié de les garder dans le fond dun tiroir. Ainsi furent sauvées les oeuvres telles que “Cyrano…” Si ce quon raconte est vrai, je dis à Mme. Rostand un grand merci de tout mon coeur.

Before returning to London he lived for a while in the wilderness of Lancashire where he fell in love with a "fair widow's daughter". His love was not returned but he clung to this early passion; she became the Rosalind of his poem the "Shepherd s Calendar". Spenser's disappointment in love drove him southward - he accepted the invitation of Sir Philip Sidney to visit him at his estate. There he finished writing his "Shepherd's Calendar". The poem was written in 12 eclogues. "Eclogue" is a Greek word meaning a poem about ideal shepherd life. Each eclogue is dedicated to one of the months of the year, the whole making up a sort of calendar.

They teach almost in all subject areas: Arts, Sciences, Law, Engineering, etc. The staff are knowledgeable in their subjects. Higher educational institutions are headed by Rectors. Vice-rectors are in charge of the academic and scientific work. The Departments are headed by the Deans. There are subdivisions within Departments. Higher educational institutions train undergraduates and postgraduate students in one specialization. Usually after completing five years of study students receive a university degree. For five years at the end of each year students have oral examinations. Moreover, they write a graduate paper for a university degree. They write dissertations for advanced degrees. After three years of post-graduate work and the writing of the dissertation it is possible to obtain a candidate degree.

Teachers, employers and parents have been given places on the governing bodies. Governors have to publish information about the school that enables parents to make informed choices when deciding to which school they should send their child. Each LEA has to have a curriculum policy that must be considered and implemented by each governing body. Schools also must have a policy on sex education and must ensure that political indoctrination does not take place. This accountability of schools and LEAs has to be demonstrated through an annual report to be presented to a public meeting of parents. The government gave parents the right to enrol their children - given appropriate age and aptitude - at any state school of their choice, within the limits of capacity. Parents already sent their children to the local school of their choice. The decision to publish schools' examination results, however, gave parents a stark, but not necessarily well-informed, basis on which to choose the most appropriate school for their child. Increasingly parents sought access to the most successful nearby school in terms of examination results. Far from being able to exercise their choice, large numbers of parents were now frustrated in their choice. Overall, in 1996 20 per cent of parents failed to obtain their first choice of school. In London the level was 40 per cent, undermining the whole policy of 'parental choice' and encouraging only the crudest work of educational standards. Schools found themselves competing rather than cooperating and some schools, for example in deprived urban areas, faced a downward spiral of declining enrolment followed by reduced budgets. Thus the market offered winners and losers: an improved system for the brighter or more fortunate pupils, but a worse one for the 'bottom' 40 per cent. Schools in deprived parts of cities acquired reputations as 'sink' schools. As one education journalist wrote in 1997, 'There is a clear hierarchy of schools:

These schools consist of denominational and non-denominational schools. I'd like to yell you about non-denominational school. One must study there for 6 years. It's open to all boys and girls. There are the six years in this school. During the first year all classes receive the same basic core of subjects namely English, maths, history, geography, science, French, art, music, P.E., technical subjects & home economics. Toward the end of the second year pupils are asked to make their subject choices for third and forth years. Decisions on this stage are only taken after interworks involving parents, staff and the pupils themselves. The curriculum in 3rd and 4th years consists of compulsory section which includes English, math and an options section made up of those subjects chosen by the pupil at the end of the second year. Optional courses are designed to give a sound basic education.

Science has great influence on our life. It provides with base of modern technology, materials, sources of power and so on. Modern science and technology have changed our life in many different ways. During the present century our life changed greatly. Thanks to radio and television we can do a great number of jobs; it was radio and TV that made it possible to photograph the dark side of the moon and to talk with the first cosmonaut while he was orbiting the Earth. On of the wonders of our age is the “electronic brain”, or giant calculating machine, which can to some extent duplicate human senses. The desk computer is expected to function as your personal librarian, to carry out simple optimization computations, to control your budget or diet, play several hundred games, etc. further development of the computer is believed to lead to a situation in which most of the knowledge accepted by mankind will be stored in the computers and made accessible to anyone with the home computers. It is natural that the advent of minicomputers with extensive memories and possibilities will lead to a new higher level in information culture. Among other things, we shall be able to organize educational process in the countrys colleges and universities and also in the system of school education on a new basic. Knowledge is the most valuable wealth, and minicomputers will help us to make it accessible for everyone. Agricultural scientists develop better varieties of plants. The development of antibiotics and other drugs has helped to control many diseases. Studies in anatomy and physiology have let to amazing surgical operations and the inventions of lifesaving machines, that can do the work of such organs as heart, lungs and so on. Nuclear fission when a tremendous amount if energy is setting free is very important discovery.

I think that communication with English-speaking people is very importent and unvalued for pupils, who learn English. Opportunity of comunication with English-speaking, was a real luck for me. And Id like to have meetings with guests from England in my own school. My parents remember: «Even in soviet time we had meetings at our schools, where we could talk to foreigners, though we lived far away from the capital». Now, when Russia is opened for the West, it is not really difficult to invite to school foreigner, isnt it? More over we live in Moscow, which is full of foreigners. Im sure, that such a meeting could be very interesting for pupils.

In the Russian Federation the school education is compulsory. Pupils begin to go to school at the age of six. When they complete high grades they can either continue to study at school for more 2 years, or go to a professional school where they study not only main subjects , but are able to learn some profession. When school pupils leave school they can try to continue their education in institutes or universities.

According to the law only one subject is compulsory. Such as religious instruction. Schooling for children is compulsory from 5 to 16, though some provision is made for children under 5 and some pupils remain at school after 16 to prepare for higher education. The state school system is usually divided into 2 stages (secondary and primary). The majority of primary schools are mixed. They are subdivided into infant schools(ages 5 to 7),and junior schools(ages 7 to 11). In junior schools pupils were often placed in A,B,C or D-streams, according to their abilities. Under the pressure of progressive parents and teachers the 11+ examination has now been abolished in most parts of the country.

675. Effects of Divorce On Children and Parents
Статья пополнение в коллекции 12.01.2009

It's also reported that girls are more sensitive in the situation when their parents are going to divorce. This usually effects their future greatly. Daughters from female-headed households are much more likely than daughters from two-parent families to themselves become single parents and to rely on welfare for support as adults. Living with a single mother at age 16 increases a daughter's risk of becoming a household head by 72 percent for whites and 100 percent for blacks. The contrast becomes even sharper if the comparison is between daughters continuously living in two-parent families with daughters living with an unmarried mother at any time between ages 12 and 16: 'Exposure to single motherhood at some point during adolescence increases the risk of a daughter's later becoming a household head by nearly 1 1/2 times for whites and by about 100 percent for blacks.' The public costs of this differential emerge in figures showing that a daughter loving in a single-parent household at any time during adolescence is far more likely (127 percent more likely among whites, 164 percent among blacks) to receive welfare benefits as an adult, compared to daughters from two-parent households. Researchers have known for some time that girls raised in a female-headed household are much more likely to become unwed teen mothers that are girls much raised in two parent families. In a major new study, Professor William Marsigilio of Oberlin College has documented a parallel pattern for unmarried teenage fathers. In a survey of more than 5,500 young American men, Dr. Marsigilio found that 'males who had not lived with two parents at age 14 were over represented in the subsample of teenage fathers. Only 17 percent of all young men surveyed lived in one-parent households at age 14; yet, among the boys who had fathered an illegitimate child as a teenager, almost 30 percent came from single-parent households. In other words, teen boys from one-parent households are almost twice as likely to father a child out of wedlock as teen boys from two-parent families.

A person versed in Egyptology, an Egyptologist, can participate in or even head archaeological digs in Egypt, but unless he also had some training as an archaeologist, he will normally not be the person doing the actual digging. An archaeologist may be specialised in Egyptian archaeology, but he can apply his skills in many other countries and for many other cultures as well.

Aber auch in anderer Weise lernen die Ingenieure von Naturformen. Da ist zum Beispiel in der Sowjetunion das Modell Pinguin entwickelt worden, ein schneegngiges Fahrzeug, das nichts mehr mit einem Schlitten und nur noch wenig mit einem Automobil zu tun hat. Bei seiner Konstruktion wurde das Pinguinprinzip angewendet. Dieser originelle Vogel bewegt sich im lockeren Schnee, indem er auf dem Bauch liegt und sich mit den flgelartigen Flossen wie auf Skistcken abstt. Dieses Gleitprinzip ist fr das neue Fahrzeug bernommen worden. Es liegt mit dem Boden - dem Bauch - auf der Schneeflche, und zwei Radschaufeln stoen es vorwrts. Es gleitet mhelos ber lockeren, hohen Schnee, sinkt nicht ein, ist leicht lenkbar und erreicht eine Hchstgeschwindigkeit von 50 km/h. Es bertrifft bei weitem die motorisierten Scheefahrzeuge alter Art und wird zur Zeit mit groem Erfolg auf unseren antarktischen Stationen verwendet.
678. Einhard
Статья пополнение в коллекции 12.01.2009

Looking at Einhards career one can see that he assumed a lot of different roles. Einhard was a high advisor of both Charlemagne and Louis the Pious. He was also a lay abbot of properties in Michelstadt, and Seligenstadt. Einhards contemporaries describe him to be always busy, and preoccupied with the courts business, running around with books. “The letters show us Einhard acting as an agent of the emperor, as a local patron, as a lay abbot, as the holder of properties, as an influential referee, as a marriage broker, and as an intellectual friend.” In the court of Charlemagne we see Einhard being involved in different high state affairs. One of those was Charlmanges partition of the kingdom among his sons. Royal Frankish Annals states: “All these things were set down in writing and conveyed by Einhard to Pope Leo III, so that he might assent to them with his own signature” Another time Eihanrd took part in state business with Charles was in 813 at the diet of Aachan when he spoke in favor of elevating of Louis the Pious to co-emperor status. As Ermold the Black recorded it Einhard characterized Louis the Pious as a very able person for kings throng: “….You have a son with an extremely fine character, who, because of his merits, is able to hold your kingdoms.” These are the two times when Einhards officially involved in making of Frankish history, although it wasnt a big part he played. But if we look at the writing of fellow courtiers it is evident that he and the king were very close. It may be possible that this close friendship that they both shared might have shaped Charlemagnes decisions. It is only an idea, which is not evident and not necessarily true, but nevertheless should be considered when ones analyzing position of Einhard in the court of Charles the Great. Thus it may well be a fair assumption to say that Einhard did have a bit of influence and power in that court when compared to other courtiers.

А когда в 1968 году парни посетили концерт " Nice" и пришли в неописуемый восторг от игры Эмерсона, то выбор был сделан окончательно. Играть классику в своей обработке вот что им было нужно, и музыканты решили начать с выпуска сингла с Пятой симфонией Бетховена. Композицию тут же подхватили местные радиостанции, и она вскоре стала хитом не только в Голландии, но и во многих других европейских странах. За этим последовал выход еще парочки синглов, "Rhapsody In Blue" и "Air", сделанных в том же стиле, но основанных на произведениях Баха. С выходом первого одноименного альбома "Ekseption" лидерство в группе перешло в руки Ван дер Линдена. Тем временем пластинка получила статус "золотой" в нескольких странах.

Первой работой "Electric flag" стала запись саундтрека к "психоделическому" фильму "The Trip", что дало команде возможность поэкспериментировать с некотороми идеями без особых напрягов. Первое же появление на публике состоялось в 1967 году на фестивале в Монтерее. На следующий год был записан дебютный альбом "A Long Time Comin'", сразу же ставший популярным в Америке. К его созданию были привлечены еще три музыканта: Стемси, Хантер и Майк Фонфара. Диск этот предварил попытки " Blood, sweat and tears" и " Chicago" смешать звучание биг-бэнда с хард-роком. И хотя Ник был далеко не первосортным вокалистом, этот недостаток с лихвой перекрывался профессионализмом остальных участников команды. Примером может являться композиция "Killing Floor", преставлявшая саунд, которого и добивался Блумфилд. В результате пластинка заняла 31-е место в американских чартах.
