Vladimir Bindeman: "The architecture that we have here is quite up to the western standards - what we are still missing is the respect for the architects"
On Thursday, Museum of Architecture opens the exhibition called "Gorod Architecturium" dedicated to the tenth anniversary of the architectural studio of the same name. What has the studio been able to achieve over these years - about this we are talking to its founder Vladimir Bindeman.

Archi.ru: Vladimir, let us start from the start: who founded "Architecturium"? How did you come up with this name and which was the first project that your studio did?
Vladimir Bindeman: "Architecturium" was founded in May of 2004. By that day, it had almost been ten years since I quit working with official and municipal structures and was mainly doing private commissions with a group of like-minded colleagues of mine. In the spring of 2004, our team won the contest organized by "Modern House" magazine for the townhouse settlement of "Novo-Arkhangelskoe", and it was this victory that stirred us to found a fully-fledged studio of our own. As for the name, this was a "set piece" that I had up my sleeve - it rings of "impressive" Latin terms that end in "ium". Besides, back in those days I was a great fan of the Russian rock-band called "Aquarium"... So, now we have a way of telling out customers and colleagues that "Architecturium" is the place where architects and architecture live at peace with one another.

- In other words, "Novo-Arkhangelskoe" became for your studio the "kick-off" project that predestined your specialization in townhouse settlements?
- This project did not bring us any revenue but it did bring us recognition, thanks to which we later on got a lot of customers with orders for designing townhouse settlements. And even our today's "multisession" project - the Olympian Village Novogorsk - came to us thanks to "Novo-Arkhangelskoe". As for the subject of townhouses, I was into it ever since I embarked on my freelance career in the early 90's, and one can safely say that I am still exploring this idea - "from a cottage to a townhouse block". Back in the 1998-99 I was literally "burning" with this theme, offering it to every investor and trying to convince them that a townhouse is a lot more dependable than a villa and is a lot better suited for the Moscow suburbs. This resulted in the first three houses for "MIEL" company in Romashkovo, designed and built in 1999-2000.

After that, there was a contest with the same investor, only this time for "Barvikha-Club" and the already-mentioned "Novo-Arkhangelskoe". In the latter we did some serious work with the block planning options and came up with give different combinations. Then we did the settlements - "quarters" - for "METRA-Development" - "Ilinsky" and "Rizhsky" where we perfected our expertise and architectural style. And, as for the projects of "Olympic Village", they incorporated all the experience that we accumulated.

- What was it about the idea of townhouse that attracted you so much?
- First of all, its planning possibilities. The variability of its planning solutions that provided an opportunity to create a cozy little city. This type of opportunity is not provided by the cottage settlement. Townhouse planning is something that you can describe with the term "community" - which you cannot say about the heavily fenced villas. You can arrange townhouses to make streets, courtyards, and even squares. It was a truly exciting thing for me to do.
- You seem to be speaking about it in the past tense. However, "Architecturium" still does townhouses, it would be enough to mention the third stage of the "Olympic Village Novogorsk" or the settlement of "Andersen" that, along with the multi-story buildings, includes townhouses as well.
- I hope that these two projects will be out last statement on the subject of this particular typology. Now I am really sceptic about this subject because I think that the townhouse is just not meant for Russia. At least, at the present stage of development. Objectively, the townhouse is mean for tolerant communities, open-minded and friendly. Also, meaning-well and law-abiding people, simply because living in a block house presupposes respect of the neighbors to one another, as well as to the house itself. Living "wall-to-wall" at a plot that is on an average nine meters wide makes you learn how to say hello to your neighbor and learn how to be cool about his children playing noisy games. Respect means that you will not build a gazebo the size of the whole plot and getting in the way of everybody's light, that you will not uglify the house with "outlaw" annexes and all.
"Andersen" © "Architecturium"
The thing is that the buyers of townhouses are a very specific segment of the country real estate market. For many people, a townhouse is "more than a flat, yet less that a villa" - but, because they still want to live in a villa, they treat this house that they've purchased as their own one. The percentage of the rebuilt and reprinted townhouses beats any power of imagination: neither us, nor our colleagues that build townhouses can be sure that they will see them in the original state half a year after the purchase. And it is not because the planning solutions leave much to be desired - it is about the buyers and the real estate agents. I once asked one of such customers a question: "If you want to remodel so much and build extra stuff worth half of the plot, why did you not go and buy an individual villa?" The answer could have knocked me down with a feather: "Actually, I did build a villa! And now I want a townhouse!" No comments.
So, generally, as the pioneer of the "townhouse" movement, I can safely say that over these years I've come to a complete denial of it. Simply because of the fact that your work on the project of blocked houses boils down to trying to figure out what the future owners might want to rebuild - and eliminate such a possibility. I cannot even afford a flat roof: take Romashkovo, for example - all the flat roofs were overbuilt...
- Perhaps, the expansion of Moscow could somehow improve the situation? As far as I understand, after the expansion of Moscow the proverbial "Andersen" turned into a Moscow project and it is common knowledge that Moscow is a lot more attentive to the process of implementation of the approved projects than its region is.
- I cannot help but admit: things became a bit more organized after the southeast area was annexed by Moscow. And the same client of "Andersen", for example, really hopes that his buildings will be kept in the original shape and form, while we, in turn, hope that we have a right to expect that the territory planning that we designed will be implemented in full measure - which will give our project the desired integrity and the comfort of the environment that is great to live in.
- If you are through with the townhouse then what typology is the most interesting to you today?
- This is still the idea of integrated development of the territories, only now it's low-rise and medium-rise housing. In particular, I would really like to overcome today's poverty of planning solutions offered by the developers. It's pathetic that now it is only studio and double-room apartments that are designed - just because they are easier of all to sell. The developer's reasoning is really on a grassroots level: "If somebody needs more, they are going to buy two apartmnents". But we do realize that the house is not elastic! A great three-room apartment is not equal to a studio and a double welded together: in the bearing walls the owners will be at best allowed to make a standard doorway. This is why, by the way, I always ask my designers to foresee these things in advance and design more columns and fewer pylons. In Novogorsk, for example, we had to move the reinforced-concrete pylons.

- In one of your interviews you said that now architecture could be bought and sold - the way I see it, this is a very accurate description of what you seem to be describing...
- It is enough to hear the modern developers speak about architecture. The things that we put out souls into - they just call them "product", no more, no less. And this "product" is only considered successful if it sells quickly. Generally, I have to mention at this point that the average project is influenced by the sales departments and their leaders all but totally, and the final decisions is made not by this or that person but by a "board if directors". Besides the obvious fact that it is very inconvenient and the fact that it takes them forever, it speaks about the level of trust to the professionals: today it's simply non-existent. And, while the main purpose of the designer is quality architecture, the purpose of the developer is selling the product as quickly as possible. Probably, it is always the case with the forming capitalism. I am reading right now "Delirious New York" by Rem Koolhaas - in the 1930's, in the USA, it was the same, even the Rockefeller Center was many times rebuilt to satisfy the leaseholders. I think that fighting it is only possible by personal connections and convictions.
- So this means that there are customers out there that can be persuaded into doing the right thing?
- Very few and far between. There are too many heartless manages out there that will listen politely to everything you have to say but then will fall in with the decision of their board. Today, regretfully, there are no bright personalities in the developer business. The "authoritative" leaders have their weak and strong points - but one thing us certain: creative people form a trend, and passive people follow suit in its wake without caring too much about things.
Residential complex "Olympic Village Novogorsk. Apartments" © "Architecturium"
- How is the working process organized in "Architecturium"? Is this all about the team work or is it a team that only works under your supervision?
- Initially, of course, it was only one team. Speaking, again, of "Novo-Arkhangelskoe", we did it as a team of five people. Right now we have a few teams - but they do not a fixed lineup because they are formed for each specific project. Right now, there are 30 people on our studio, 4 of them being designers, 4 office managers, and the others are architects, including five chief architects of the project.
- How actively are you personally involved in the development of the projects by your studio?
- I, as always, am responsible for the general architectural and planning solution, going through the options and choosing the best one. And, since I am the "playing coach", I do the sketches myself. This applies to the town-planning, as well as the architectural projects. At the same time the chiefs, as well as all the architects of our studio that want to propose an idea of their own, are entirely welcome to do so, furthermore, I always encourage them to do that - the way I see it, this is about the only way to come up with a worthy solution. Generally, the more I live, the more I am convinced that the modern architecture simply cannot be based on the architect's taste alone. Especially when it comes to town-planning! I will give you a simple example here. There was a time when I thought that all the roofs of low-rise housing must be blue. "Novo-Arkhangelskoe" is done in this way, as well as the Sochi health center, and I always insisted on that point, making the customers comply with my taste and overpay for the building materials. Now, looking back, I think that that it was voluntarism in its pure form! So, generally, it is a better thing to do trying to find rational, and not emotional, justification for your architectural solutions.
- Are there orders that "Architecturium" chooses to turn down?
- Actually, we all but never get to do stand-alone projects. So it turned out that we mainly work with territories doing integrated housing projects. Now I would probably feel strange getting down to work on some separate project. Well, I might do so in Moscow, maybe. Even in this case, however, we would have started our work from the inevitable survey of the town-planning context and would have ended with the landscaping. Oh, yes, by the way, if the customer is not ready to commission us with the landscaping job - this is when we turn the project down. We firmly believe that landscaping is the fifth facade of architecture, even more important than the roof, and it needs to be the direct continuation of the ideas and visions that are there in the very soul of the building.
- What qualities must an architect possess to be admitted to work in your company?
- Our main requirement is that this person should love and understand modern architecture. And we do not like the "I've-seen-it-all" type.
- And, speaking of the modern western architecture, which examples of it would you like to bring over to the Russian soil?
- I think that the architecture that we have here is quite up to the western standards. The quote-unquote classicism has long since stopped being a mass trend and this seems to me almost the most important achievement of the last two years. Remembering back to the time when we exhibited with "Romashkovo" at "Under the Roof" show back in 2002, our stands were all surrounded by castles and chalets - and now they are very few and far between. So, if we are to borrow something from the West, this must be the respect to the architect's work - both from the customers and the society.

In Three Voices
The high-rise – 41 stories high – housing complex HIDE is being built on the bank of the Setun River, near the Poklonnaya Mountain. It consists of three towers of equal height, yet interpreted in three different ways. One of the towers, the most conspicuous one looks as if it was twisted in a spiral, composed of a multitude of golden bay windows.
Dynamics of the Avenue
On Leningrad Avenue, not far away from the Sokol metro station, the construction of the A-Class business center Alcon II has been completed. ADM architects designed the main façade as three volumetric ribbons, as if the busy traffic of the avenue "shook" the matter sending large waves through it.
Steamer at the Pier
An apartment hotel that looks like a ship with wide decks has been designed for a land plot on a lake shore in Moscow's South Tushino. This "steamer" house, overlooking the lake and the river port, does indeed look as if it were ready to sail away.
Sergey Tchoban: "You need to dress your buildings in the kind of skin that will age...
In this issue, we are speaking to Sergey Tchoban about the principles of modern architecture in the light of his "30:70" theory.
The Magic of Rhythm or Ornament as a Theme
Designed by Sergey Tchoban, the housing complex Veren Place in St. Petersburg is the perfect example of inserting a new building into a historical city, and one the cases of implementing the strategy that the architect presented a few years ago in the book, which he coauthored with Vladimir Sedov, called "30:70. Architecture as a Balance of Forces".
Walking on Water
In the nearest future, the Marc Chagall Embankment will be turned into Moscow's largest riverside park with green promenades, cycling and jogging trails, a spa center on water, a water garden, and sculptural pavilions designed in the spirit of the Russian avant-garde artists of the 1920, and, first of all, Chagall himself. In this issue, we are covering the second-stage project.
Architectural Laboratory
A-Len has developed and patented the "Perfect Apartments" program, which totally eliminates "bad" apartment layouts. In this article, we are sharing how this program came around, what it is about, who can benefit from it, and how.
"Architectural Archaeology of the Narkomfin Building": the Recap
One of the most important events of 2020 has been the completion of the long-awaited restoration of the monument of Soviet avant-garde architecture – the Narkomfin Building, the progenitor of the typology of social housing in this country. The house retained its residential function as the main one, alongside with a number of artifacts and restoration clearances turned into living museum exhibits.
LIFE on the Setun River
The area in the valley of the Setun River near the Vereiskaya Street got two new blocks of the "LIFE-Kutuzovsky" housing complex, designed by ADM architects. The two new blocks have a retail boulevard of their own, and a small riverside park.
Celestial Tectonics
Three towers on a podium over the Ramenka River are the new dominant elements on the edge of a Soviet "microdistrict". Their scale is quite modern: the height is 176 m – almost a skyscraper; the facades are made of glass and steel. Their graceful proportions are emphasized by a strict white grid, and the volumetric composition picks up the diagonal "grid of coordinates" that was once outlined in the southwest of Moscow by the architects of the 1970's and 1980's.
Clouds over the Railroad
In the stead of former warehouses near "Lyubertsy-1" station, a new housing complex has been built, which peacefully coexists with the railroad, with the flyover bridge, and with the diverse surrounding scenery, not only dominating over the latter, but improving it.
Towers in a Forest
The authors of the housing complex "In the Heart of Pushkino" were faced with a difficult task: to preserve the already existing urban forest, at the same time building on it a compound of rather high density. This is how three towers at the edge of the forest appeared with highly developed public spaces in their podiums and graceful "tucks" in the crowning part of the 18-story volumes.
The Towers of "Sputnik"
Six towers, which make up a large housing complex standing on the bank of the Moskva River at the very start of the Novorizhskoe Highway, provide the answers to a whole number of marketing requirements and meets a whole number of restrictions, offering a simple rhythm and a laconic formula for the houses that the developer preferred to see as "flashy".
The Starting Point
In this article, we are reviewing two retro projects: one is 20 years old, the other is 25. One of them is Saint Petersburg's first-ever townhouse complex; the other became the first example of a high-end residential complex on Krestovsky Island. Both were designed and built by Evgeny Gerasimov and Partners.
Moscow Institute of Architecture: projects by Vsevolod Medvedev group
In this issue, we are reviewing the diploma projects of a group of bachelors from Moscow Architectural Institute working under the leadership of Vsevolod Medvedev, Mikhail Kanunnikov and Elizaveta Medvedeva.
The Path to New Ornamentation
The high-end residential complex "Aristocrat" situated next to a pine park at the start of the Rublev Highway presents a new stage of development of Moscow's decorative historicist architecture: expensively decorated, yet largely based on light-colored tones, and masterfully using the romantic veneer of majolica inserts.
Renovation: the Far East Style
The competition project of renovating two central city blocks of Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, developed by UNK project, won the nomination "Architectural and planning solutions of city construction".
Sergey Trukhanov: "The main thing is to find a solution to a challenge that originally...
How will our workspaces change? Can you prepare your companies for similar situations in the future? What factors are generally important for modern offices? What are the subtleties of working with international companies, and what kind of architectural typology are we yet to discover?
The Contact
The Istituto Centrale per la Grafica in Rome presents Sergei Tchoban's exhibition "Imprint of the future. Destiny of Piranesi's City". The exhibition includes four etchings, based on Roman architectural views of the XVIII century complemented by futuristic insertions, as well as a lot of drawings that investigate the same topic, at times quite expressively. The exhibition poses questions, but does not seem to give any answers. Since going to Rome is pretty problematic now, let's at least examine the pictures.
In Search of Visual Clarity
In this article, we are reviewing a discussion devoted to the question of designing city space elements, which is quite complicated for the Russian expanses of land. The discussion was organized by the Genplan Institute of Moscow at the ArchMoscow convention in Gostiny Dvor.
The City of the Sun
Jointly designed by Sergey Tchoban and Vladimir Plotkin, the VTB Arena Park complex can arguably be considered the perfect experiment on solving the centuries-old controversy between traditional architecture and modernism. The framework of the design code, combined with the creative character of the plastique-based dialogue between the buildings, formed an all-but-perfect fragment of the city fabric.
...The Other Was Just Railroad Gin*
In their project of the third stage of "Ligovsky City" housing complex, located in the industrial "gray" belt of Saint Petersburg, the KCAP & Orange Architects & A-Len consortium set before themselves a task of keeping up the genius loci by preserving the contours of the railroad and likening the volumes of residential buildings to railroad containers, stacked up at the goods unloading station.
Lions on Glass
While reconstructing the facades of Building 4 of Moscow Hospital #23, SPEECH architects applied a technique, already known from Saint Petersburg projects by Sergey Tchoban – cassettes with elements of classical architecture printed on glass. The project was developed gratis, as a help to the hospital.
Park of Sentiments
The project of "Romantic Park Tuchkov Buyan", which was developed by the consortium of Studio 44 and WEST 8, and has won an international competition, combines sculptural landscape design and wooden structures, variety of spatial features and an eventful agenda, designed for diverse audience, with a beautiful and complex passeist idea of a palace park, meant to evoke thoughts and feelings.
Architecture as an Educational Tool
The concept of a charity school "Tochka Budushchego" ("Point of the Future") in Irkutsk is based on cutting-edge educational programs, and is designed, among other things, for adapting orphaned children for independent life. An important role is played by the architecture of the building: its structure and different types of interconnected spaces.
The Gallery Approach
In this article, we are covering the concept of a Central District Clinic for 240 patients, designed by Ginzburg Architects, which won at a competition organized by the Architects Union and the Healthcare Ministry.
Health Constructor
In this issue, we are publishing the concept of a standard clinic designed by UNK Project, which took second place in the competition organized by the Union of Architects of Russia in collaboration with the Healthcare Ministry.
From Foundation to Teaspoon
Based on the taste of their friendly clients, the architects Olga Budennaya and Roman Leonidov designed and built a house in the Moscow metropolitan area playing Art Nouveau. At the same time, they enriched the typology of a private house with modern functions of a garage loft and a children's art studio.
Continuation and Development
The second "office" stage of Comcity, the most popular business park of the "New Moscow" area, continues the underground street of the already existing part of the complex, responding to its architectural identity.
The Flying One
Expected to become an analogue of Moscow's Skolkovo, the project of the High Park campus at Saint Petersburg's ITMO University, designed by Studio 44, mesmerizes us with its sheer scale and the passion that the architects poured into it. Its core – the academic center – is interpreted as an avant-garde composition inspired by Piazza del Campo with a bell tower; the park is reminiscent of the "rays" of the main streets of Saint Petersburg, and, if watched from a birds-eye view, the whole complex looks like a motherboard with at least four processors on it. The design of the academic building even displays a few features of a sports arena. The project has a lot of meanings and allusions about it; all of them are united by plastique energy that the hadron collider itself could be jealous of.
The Aperture Effect
For a housing complex built in the town of Pushkino in the Moscow metropolitan area, KPLN Architects designed facades that adjust the stream of light by using the wall geometry.
A Comfortable City in Itself
The project that we are about to cover is seemingly impossible amidst human anthills, chaotically interspersed with old semi-neglected dachas. Meanwhile, the housing complex built on the Comcity business part does offer a comfortable environment of decent city: not excessively high-rise and moderately private as a version of the perfect modern urbanist solution.
Moving on the Edge
The housing complex "Litsa" ("Faces") on Moscow's Khodynka Field is one of the new grand-scale buildings that complement the construction around it. This particular building skillfully tackles the scale, subjugating it to the silhouette and the pattern; it also makes the most of the combination of a challenging land site and formidable square footage requirements, packing a whole number of features within one volume, so the house becomes an analogue of a city. And, to cap it all, it looks like a family that securely protects the children playing in the yard from... well, from everything, really.
Visual Stability Agent
A comparatively small house standing on the border of the Bolshevik Factory combines two diametrically opposite features: expensive materials and decorative character of Art Deco, and a wide-spaced, even somewhat brutal, facade grid that highlights a laminated attic.
UNK Project: "Our school is compared to the Apple Headquarters"
In this issue, we are publishing the competition project of the MGIMO School in Garden Quarters, designed by the consortium UNK Project (Moscow) + Storaket (Erevan) + Umnaya Shkola (Moscow) with the architects' comments.
The Faraday Cage
The project of the boutique apartment complex in the 1st Truzhenikov Lane is the architects' attempt to squeeze a considerable volume into a tiny spot of land, at the same time making it look graceful and respectable. What came to their rescue was metal, stone, and curvilinear glass.
Color and Line
The new successful techniques developed by A.Len for designing a kindergarten under budget constraints: the mosaic of irregular windows and working with color.
Sergey Skuratov: "The school was to become the gem of Garden Quarters. All of us waited for...
In this issue, we are interviewing Sergey Skuratov about the results of the competition for the building in the center of the residential complex, on which the architect has been working since 2006. We are examining the project that never did win, making an attempt to study the case in detail.
The Union of Art and Technology
His interest for architecture of the 1930's is pretty much the guiding star for Stepan Liphart. In his project of the "Amo" house on St. Petersburg's Vasilyevsky Island, the architect based himself on Moscow Art Deco - aesthetically intricate and decorated in scratch-work technique. As a bonus, he developed the city block typology as an organic structure.
The consortium "Vostok"+Martela wins the competition for the best project of the school...
The project that Evgeniy Gerasimov and Partners developed for Moscow's Leningrad Avenue: the tallest building in the company's portfolio, continuing the tradition of Moscow's Stalin architecture.
The Pre-Fire Classicism
Ginzburg Architects restored the Sytin Mansion, a rare monument of Moscow wooden architecture of the early XIX century.
In the project that they developed for a southern region of Russia, OSA Architects use multilayered facades that create an image of seaside resort architecture, and, in the vein of the latest trends of today, mix up different social groups that the residents belong to.
Just a Mirror for the Sun
The house that Sergey Skuratov designed in Nikolovorobinsky Alley is thought out down to the last detail. It adapts three historical facades, interprets a feeling of a complex city, is composed of many layers, and catches plenty of sunlight, from sunrises to sunsets. The architect himself believes that the main role of this house is creating a background for another nearby project of his, Art House in the Tessinsky Alley.
Part of the Whole
On June 5, the winners of Moscow Architectural Award were announced. The winners list includes the project of a school in Troitsk for 2,100 students, with its own astronomy dome, IT testing ground, museum, and a greenhouse on the roof.
Pedagogical Architecture
Yet another project of a private school, in which Archimatika realizes the concept of aesthetic education and introduces a new tradition: combining Scandinavian and Soviet experience, turning to works of art, and implementing sustainable technologies.
Rational Arrangement
In this article, we are examining a complex of buildings and interiors of the first stage of the project that has recently become extremely popular – the Kommunarka clinic.
Parallel Universe
In the "Parallel House" residence that he designed in the Moscow metropolitan area, the architect Roman Leonidov created a dramatic sculptural composition from totally basic shapes – parallelepipeds, whose collision turned into an exciting show.
Breakwater
In the Istra district of Moscow metropolitan area, the tandem of 4izmerenie and ARS-ST designed a sports complex – a monovolume that has the shape of a chamfered parallelepiped with a pointed "nose" like a ship's bow.
Stairway to Heaven
The project of a hotel in the settlement of Yantarny is an example of a new recreational complex typology, and a new format that unites the hotel, the business, and the cultural functions. All of this is complemented by 100% integration with nature.

Tackling Tunnel Fires: The Penetration Depth as determining Factor

Aids like the white cane (on the left) and the rescue basket on rollers (on the right) facilitate searching for and rescuing tunnel users in a tunnel's large fire sections and over lengthy distances to the next emergency exit
Seen from the fire service's point of view, the risks in tunnels mainly result from the necessary penetration depth. The expected heat load affecting fire services on the other hand is of a secondary nature. Consequently, the chances for successful deployment are largely determined by the distance between the emergency exits.
Serious fires occurred in 1999 in the Mont Blanc and in the Tauern tunnels and in the Gotthard Road Tunnel in 2001. As a result, the evacuation conditions for tunnel users were improved. Nonetheless, some users are unable to get themselves to safety and people do not always behave reasonably in emergency situations. Thus, the fire service must assume when a fire incident occurs that there are still a certain number of persons in the tunnel.
Heat Impact affecting Firefighters
Contrary to widespread belief, firefighters do not wear special garments to protect themselves against heat. Their...

The pasted-paper casing of fireworks seemed like a public menace to a six year-old. Photo credit: EpicFireworks on Visualhunt.com / CC BY
Inaugural entries seem disingenuous. It feels like saying hello to someone who's not there. But at the same time I think they're necessary, otherwise I'm blasting away without as much as an introduction and that's just rude.
I grew up in Moscow, my first years spent in the dying light of the Soviet Union, so naturally Russian was my native tongue. But my flirtation with the English language began before I started school, mostly learning the name of colours and vehicles from a Richard Scarry book. One of the earliest home videos of me is sitting at the dinner table at my grandparents' Budapest apartment repeating "I want an ice cream" ad nauseam, which tested even my grandfather's grandparental patience.
My parents provided me with my first big break in life by putting me into a private English Immersion elementary school which at first operated out of a couple of rooms in Bauman Moscow State Technical University. On my first day of school, the most English I could scrape together was "Can I go to the toilet?" When I was repeatedly asked "Do you speak English?" and couldn't respond (though in hindsight, you'd think my initial silence would be answer enough), I asked to call my parents, who, gently but firmly, told me to suck it up. By Grade 2, I was the main distraction in the classroom because I refused to shut up. There are plenty of things about me as a kid and teenager that I'm not proud of, and I'm sure I'll get to more of that later.
My inclination towards fiction started early. In second grade we had a workbook where every week we had to write a tiny short story on a topic of our choosing. One week, we were asked to write about an event that actually happened to us, which I found boring and so I wrote this totally true account of a man getting hit on the head by a falling firework casing and our whole family visiting this complete stranger in the hospital for some reason. Thank you Mrs. Searle for never calling me out on it.
Fast forward a couple of year and our Grade 4 class gets an assignment to write a short story that we get to read in front of the whole class. Suddenly this was my time to shine. While others put together two pages about a lost birthday cake, I burned through two notebooks chronicling the ice hockey career of a child of an alien who crash-landed in Siberia while hitching a ride on the Tunguska meteorite. Seconds after he won the Stanley Cup he was beamed up to come home to his mother's native planet of Pluto. Unfortunately for my class, they never go to hear the epic ending to a story that took great liberties with the rules of hockey and the universe, because my tale was taking up too much class time. Whatever, I knew I had found a sort of addiction.
This is where all the early magic happened - our apartment building at No. 3 Yegerskaya Street in Moscow. The entrance to the scientist's secret lab was a manhole cover located at approximately the same spot this picture was taken from. Courtesy of Google Streetview
The following year, inspired by a dream that made no sense, I started work on a new project that also made no sense. In this tale, which I called "Black Ants", all the characters were my classmates, and I was friends with a kooky inventor scientist, which Back to the Future led me to believe was an ordinary occurrence for your typical teenager. The plot of the story was pretty standard fare. I mean, what ten year-old doesn't fantasize about him and his friends being the only ones capable of saving the world from a secret organization that possessed the formula to invisibility but needed to steal classroom sharpeners in order to maintain their supply of doomsday metal? No, I did not take any drugs as a child.
To my lovely high school friends who edited this crap: I'm so sorry.
By Grade 6, Black Ants had gone to the purgatory of unfinished novels, so I will never know how we managed to stop the villains from raining radioactive metal rods on the unsuspecting populace. At this point, I wanted to write about our encounter with "Insectoids". I mean, what grade school kid doesn't fantasize about him and his friends being the only ones capable of saving the world from an invasion of parallel dimension-dwelling but also alien insect creatures which suspiciously resembled the Shadows from Babylon 5? I will continue to insist that this was homage, not plagiarism.
In 1999, when I had only recently turned thirteen, our family moved to Canada, and my life changed in more ways than I could understand. As a commercial lingua franca, English had not exactly been exotic at that point, but it was combined to its spheres: music, satellite TV, school, and the background noise to the terrible Russian dubs of Hollywood movies. Now I had become steeped in English. It surrounded me. It swallowed me whole. For so long it had only been a visitor in my head, summoned only when I needed it. Suddenly there was no getting away from it. The Russian inside my head struggled for survival as English replaced vocabulary and grammatical structures, thoughts, ideas. The Russian survived in the end, though a little worse for wear. Conversations plod along with great effort, my brain desperately searching for vocab words that are just below the surface of memory, like ice fishing without a hole.
English was my native tongue now, and Russian had its spheres: my parents' home, books, the New Year's specials. It was a process that was both terrifying and exhilarating. I felt comfortable with English. It fueled the creativity that lay dormant for more than a year as I was pulled out of school in an anticipation of our move to Canada. The first victim of this outburst of creative energy was my first friend in Canada, Bajer, whom I somehow conned into taking turns writing a sci-fi epic with me. I mean, what teenager doesn't fantasize about him and his friends being the only ones capable of defending from monsters their spaceship city which had been pulled into an unexplored corner of the galaxy by a mysterious alien. Fans of Star Trek: Voyager and especially Power Rangers: Lost Galaxy would rightfully point out that I was still iffy on that whole homage/plagiarism dichotomy.
Bajer put up with my micromanaging like a champ, although when I decided to loudly talk to him within earshot of the entire class about why this will make us famous, he politely asked me never to speak of it in public again. Given my own rock-bottom popularity in Grade 8, I now understand Bajer completely and don't blame him for it one bit.
For the next couple of years I jumped through new schools, which turned out pretty great for me since this is how I met the girl who would eventually become my wife, and also met a few friends to torture with my new writing project. I mean, what high schooler doesn't fantasize about him and his friends winning an all-expensive paid trip to Turkey? Okay, granted it's not exactly the vacation destination every teenager lusts over, but hey, the trip was free, so what are their hypothetical selves complaining about? By the time this bloated disaster had died on the drawing board after almost reaching 50,000 words, I had covered only the first three days of what was supposed to be a three-week trip. Just to illustrate how this could have possible happened – three quarters of a page were dedicated to a detailed play-by-play of a rock, paper, scissors match.
Despite digging desperately through the bottom of the teenager writing barrel, around this time is when some of my more serious writing started to crop up. Novels still appeared and then died ten pages later, but I started seeing more and more short stories to completion. Some of these were terrible, some decent for my age. I tried to get some published, but naturally it was to no avail – I was nowhere near ready. But childhood fantasies gave way to attempts to explore more complex topics like genetic engineering and grief-driven revenge. These short stories, and my friends' interest in reading them as a favour to me, sustained this continued effort to improve my craft.
It was sometime in high school when the idea that would eventually shape my first novel first came into existence. It churned and was refined in my head for years until it was finally put to paper, and it's made several long trips to the realm of unfinished works since then. But in the end it persevered, and two years ago made it to the first full draft. I'm currently working on the third draft, still far from the finish line but I now have a clear idea of where it's going to end up.
It's been over a decade since I lived vicariously through my writing, and yet I don't feel that writing has become any less fun. Sure, editing is a pain sometimes and writers block will occasionally find me and either prevent me from finding that perfect word or will derail a search for plot altogether. These are the challenges that define the art, and the art itself is what gives me joy. The ability to create worlds, characters and stories is what fuels my passion. Storytelling is one of the most ancient of humanity's pastimes, and I want to make my modest contribution to this proud tradition. I hope you can join me for the journey.

Henry Lee Jr.'s Partisan Corps in its First Action
Tags: Benjamin L. Huggins, Espionage, Henry Lee Jr, Revolutionary War
After several months spent manning and equipping his new unit, Maj. Henry Lee, Jr., finally got his partisan corps into the field in August 1778. Gen. George Washington had assigned Lee to operate with Brig. Gen. Charles Scott's light infantry brigade, the element of the army that had advanced closest to the British lines in the lower part of Westchester County. For the remainder of August and most of the next month, Lee and his corps carried out their patrol and intelligence-gathering duties, but in late September, that would change.
Brig. Gen. Samuel Birch and the Ambiguity of the American Revolution
Tags: 50 Years of Editing, Editor's Perspective, Espionage, George Washington, GW's Views, Jeffrey L. Zvengrowski, Revolutionary War, Short Biography, Slavery
In my opinion, one of the most interesting stories that began in an earlier volume of the Papers of George Washington is the career of Samuel Birch, a British officer who first appears in volume 20 of the Revolutionary War Series. Birch's effort to capture Washington was certainly one of the more colorful episodes of the Revolutionary War, but I am also interested in Birch because his career vividly illustrates the many ironies of that complicated conflict.
Dating George Washington's Receipt of a Samuel Culper Letter to Benjamin Tallmadge
Tags: Documentary Editing, Espionage, Featured Document(s), George Washington, Jeffrey L. Zvengrowski, Revolutionary War
Abraham Woodhull (alias Samuel Culper), a farmer and Patriot spy on British-controlled Long Island, wrote Maj. Benjamin Tallmadge (alias John Bolton) a letter from Setauket, N.Y., on August 16, 1780 that is in the Papers of George Washington at the Library of Congress. Although the editors at The Papers of George Washington do not know precisely when George Washington received that letter, we can make a reasoned guess.
A "New" Samuel Culper Letter
Tags: Espionage, Featured Document(s), George Washington, Jeffrey L. Zvengrowski, Revolutionary War
Katie Blizzard June 8, 2018
One of the most enjoyable aspects of documentary editing at The Washington Papers is making annotated transcriptions of relatively inscrutable manuscripts readily available, manuscripts like spy letters with incomplete decryptions. On Sept. 9, 1780, Maj. Benjamin Tallmadge (alias John Bolton) wrote Gen. George Washington from North Castle, N.Y., and forwarded two letters addressed to him that he had received from Abraham Woodhull (alias Samuel Culper), a farmer and spy on British-controlled Long Island, New York. A preliminary transcription of Tallmadge's letter to Washington, dated September 9, can be found on Founders Online. No transcription, however, is currently available of the enclosed Woodhull letters, which are among Washington's papers at the Library of Congress.
Revolutionary War Series, Volume 26: An Interview with the Editors

Katie Blizzard March 9, 2018
Neither associate editor Benjamin L. Huggins nor assistant editor Adrina Garbooshian-Huggins could have anticipated the complexities involved in editing The Papers of George Washington's Revolutionary War Series, volume 26. One such difficulty concerned the content of the documents, which included the communication of misleading or even false intelligence. And so, in anticipation of the volume's publication later this year, I sat down with both editors—who collaborated on the volume—to examine the work behind the next installment of the series.
George Washington Tells a Lie
Tags: Benedict Arnold, Benjamin L. Huggins, Espionage, George Washington, Marquis de Lafayette, Revolutionary War, Rochambeau
In June 1780, General George Washington told a lie. In fact, he planned a major deception. But as it was intended to deceive the British high command during the Revolutionary War, most Americans would likely forgive him. Washington, with the aid of Major General Lafayette, wanted the British to believe that the French army under the command of Lieutenant General Rochambeau was soon expected to arrive in North America to help the Americans liberate Canada from the British yoke.

DISTRICT HEALTH SERVICE
Vision statement.
A well function healthcare system working around people's need, having competent and motivated health workers, a well maintained infrastructure, a reliable supply of medicines and quality equipments backed by adequate funding, robust data, strategic planning, monitoring and evaluation.
Health has been declared a fundamental human right. The health of the people should form major issue of importance in public policy deliberation and planning. Good health confers on a person's well being, happiness and ability to realize one's potential.
According to World Bank (2005), 50% of economic growth differentials between developed and developing countries are attributed to ill health and low life expectancy. Developed countries spend a high proportion of GDP on public healthcare because they believe healthy nation can serve as major driver for economic growth and development. Thus health is an important human capital and deserves attention on priority by our policy makers.
Across the world, countries are turning their attention to comprehensive primary health care which is affordable sustainable and effective and the right approach by which there is possibility of reaching health goals.
The important requisites to ensure comprehensive primary health care are:
Bringing care closer to people.
Giving primary health care providers the responsibility for the health of a defined population.
Strengthening the roles of health care team.
Thus better health and health care do not have to wait for an improved economy of the state. The need is political will and bold decisions to reform and make healthcare delivery system works.
Phek district has 70 health units spread unevenly across the district. The health units are:
District Hospital – 1
Community Health Centre -3
Primary Health Centre – 23
Sub Centres – 43
The three pillars of rural healthcare services CHCs, PHCs and SCs including District Hospital are carrying out various health programmes. Important health programmes are
National Health Mission
National Vector Borne Disease Control Programme (NVBDCP)
District AIDS prevention and Control unit (DAPCU)
Revised National Tuberculosis Control Program
Integrated Disease Surveillance Program
The District Hospital Phek is a 100 bedded hospital headed by the Medical Superintendent. There are presently two senior specialist, two senior medical officers, two junior specialists, two Medical officers, one medical officer (AYUSH) and two Dental Surgeons. There are sixteen staff nurses, four auxiliary nurse midwifery and two lady health visitors.
In the periphery there are only 2 doctors in each 3 Community Health Centre and 17 medical officers against 23 Primary Health Centre and auxiliary nurse midwifery are posted in all the Sub-Centre.
The existing infrastructure in many sub-centre and primary health centre are in poor condition. There are no quarters for staff in many health units.
Problems and Prospects.
The major problems in delivering health care services in rural area are Shortage of skilled manpower, poor infrastructure and lack of staff quarters, inaccessibility due to unsuitable location of center, shortage of essential drugs and equipment's, no proper human resource management, no transport policy for delivering health services and no reliable data.
Manpower in health units.
In District Hospital there are 11 Existing strength doctors and 29 Indian Public Health Standards doctors, Community Health Centre have 2 existing strength doctors and 10 Indian Public Health Standards doctors and in Primary Health Centre there is only 1 existing strength doctor and 1 Indian Public Health Standards doctor.
Health Unit.
The district has good number of health units. Some of the health units need relocation and re-organization to reduce or remove inaccessibility and bring within physical reach of larger population. A regular maintenance of existing health units is necessary. Construction of quarters especially in remote areas is a basic necessity to ensure presence of health workers.
Human Resources.
There are a number of factors responsible for shortage of health workers in rural areas. To ensure their stay and maximize performance, skilful use of human resources through proper personnel management is needed. Several issues like lack of quarters, posting and transfer issue, poor road and communication, and lack of transport facilities affect their performance. A demoralized worker can never function well even in a well equipped centre. Similarly a highly competent and motivated worker cannot function in an under equipped and dysfunctional system. Therefore it is high time the department comes out with effective human resource management policy to cure ailing healthcare system.
National Health Mission.
The National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) launched in 2015 has made significant progress in the health care infrastructure, manpower and other logistic. However the improvement has been uneven in remote rural areas. The main drawbacks are inaccessibility, unsuitable locations of health units, shortage of health workers and non-availability of essential drugs, funds and ineffective management of human resources. Rural health care services suffer mostly not due to lack of fund but due to leakage of funds and delays of funds. Plugging the leakages, timely fund release and proper accountability can infuse fresh lease of life to the ailing health units.
Commoditization.
After initial enthusiasm of the commoditization there is slackness and complacency in communitized health units. There is need to identify gaps and challenges, strengthen managerial capacity and coordination. Community participation is now recognized a major component of health care system. The major thrust is on provision of comprehensive health care service shifting focus from medical care to health care.
Medical Equipment at health units.
The status of equipment and consumables in units speak volumes of inactive procurement and supply mechanism. The fact that even after 50 years of statehood and yearly procurement of equipments, most of the health units continue to be under-equipped due to poor planning and lack of quality control and maintenance. Besides question of quality of equipments, most supplies are not need based and result in redundancy in non essential items and deficiencies in much needed equipments.
With digital revolution, there are good quality and affordable state of the art medical equipments available with good maintenance policy. The private hospitals are capitalizing on this digital revolution with limited investment. Revamp the ineffective system and the health units have potential to be equipped better than the private hospitals even with the present budgetary allocation.
The District hospital, Phek is a 100 bedded hospital. Since its inception, the hospital was unable to function as secondary referral unit for the district. The major problems are shortage of specialist doctors, lack of equipment, drugs, diagnostic and other consumable. The only O.T in the district is functioning with outdated equipments and low quality equipments. The hospital is in dire need of good quality equipments for various surgical specialties and anaesthesia.
Therefore till such time a new delivery mechanism is brought in to replace existing procurement and supply system, these health units will continue to be ill-equipped even in the coming year.
Building competencies in manpower.
The present trend of recruiting nurse in state service on seniority leave a huge gap in knowledge, skills and motivation to work. Workers are the heart of health centre. So when a worker enter into service after gap of 10 to 15 years of skills training, one can imagine the impact it has on the health care delivery system especially in rural areas. Fresh recruitment policy is needed to bring in productive and competent workforce to maximize performance and quality of care.
Leadership reforms are also required for strategic planning, innovation, and effective implementation of health programmes. Similarly update of knowledge and upgrade of skills through regular training, workshops, and continuing medical education are required for frontline health worker.
It is far cry ask for cutting edge technology in rural health care center but definitely the department can build up a committed, competent, compassionate workforce which in itself is a cutting edge strategy.
Health data.
The district suffers from lack of reliable scientific data of its own especially sensitive health indicator like infant mortality rate, maternal mortality rate and life expectancy. Taking advantage of better information technology, health data mechanism can be optimized to obtain reliable vital data of the district which will reflect health status and help in strategic planning.
Emerging telemedicine.
Taking advantage of booming it and better connectivity in the district, telemedicine can deliver specialized services at remote place thereby extending low cost consultation and diagnosis to the rural areas.
With increasing awareness on oral hygiene there is increasing demand for dental related services. However the dental units has been reduced to mere consultation and extraction works for want of upgrade equipment and good functioning dental chair. With investment on minimum essential equipments like light cure machine, scalar machine, airotor hand piece and burs, and filling materials, the dental units can carry out most of treatments and procedures in the hospital which will greatly benefit rural people.
Mental Health.
Mental health programme envisages provision of basic mental health care at the community level through creating awareness and acceptance by the public about mental illness, early detection and treatment of mentally ill people and integration of mentally ill people into the society. Mental health awareness will be through health talks, seminars, workshops , focused group discussion, etc. sensitization of all health worker , teachers, community workers, etc. on mental health. Involvement of local bodies, NGOs, other departments, etc. on spreading awareness. Strengthening existing referral systems for tertiary care.
Health insurance.
There is great need for social security and health insurance for families below poverty lines and vulnerable groups of people to reduce out of pocket expenses in hospital. The Rashtriya Swasthya Bima Yojana (RSBY) should be made to cover entire district. There is need to spread awareness about the benefit of health insurance among beneficiaries in remote areas. The RSBY scheme aims to mitigate risks due to disability, health shocks, maternity and old age which all unorganized workers get exposed to and are likely to suffer from.
Towards a healthy rural community.
Phek district has considerable number of health units to reach remote areas. There is growing health awareness among general population, changing attitudes towards preventive and promotive health and demand for better health care facilities.
Taking advantage of these strong fundamentals, a bold political action for reforms in health delivery system and effective human resource management backed by active community participation and robust monitoring and evaluation system are keys to transforming health care services and progress towards a healthy rural community.

L'Abisso Bonetti è una grotta carsica che si apre nel comune di Doberdò del Lago (Gorizia), a circa 1 km a sud-est della località Bonetti (da cui prende il nome) sul versante orientale del Vallone di Gorizia, non distante dal confine con la Slovenia (località di Novavilla). La grotta è una delle cavità più note del Carso goriziano, ma per la sua morfologia prevalentemente verticale l'accesso è possibile soltanto a speleologi esperti dotati delle necessarie attrezzature per la progressione in corda.

Morfologia
L'Abisso Bonetti (numero catastale 393/756VG) è una delle cavità più estese e conosciute del Carso Goriziano. Si apre a 186 m di altitudine sul piccolo altopiano a nord di Jamiano (comune di Doberdò del Lago), a poca distanza dal confine con la Slovenia, e si sviluppa con un andamento prima totalmente verticale e poi orizzontale per 87,5 m, raggiungendo una profondità massima di 49 m.

La particolarità di questa grotta è rappresentata dall'imponente baratro iniziale, costituito da una voragine delle dimensioni di 30 x 10 m e profonda 48 m, disposta lungo l'asse nord-sud, le cui pareti sono ricoperte da una notevole quantità di vegetazione. Accanto ad esso è presente un secondo ingresso, costituito da una galleria parzialmente artificiale che si ricollega al pozzo principale, nella quale nel corso della prima guerra mondiale fu costituito un ricovero militare austriaco. La base del pozzo principale, a cielo aperto e quindi in diretta comunicazione con l'ambiente esterno, è costituita da una grossa china detritica in forte pendenza che nella parte più bassa spiana e permette l'accumulo di terriccio, materiale vegetale e qualche carcassa di animale caduto dall'esterno. All'apice della china detritica si apre una prima galleria sotterranea che, dopo una strettoia posta sulla destra, immette in una seconda galleria da cui si accede alla grande sala terminale, in parte concrezionata e in parte costituita da massi di crollo, al centro della quale un'imponente colonna sembra sostenere il peso della volta soprastante; questi ambienti costituiscono la porzione più interna della cavità e non sono in comunicazione diretta con l'esterno.

Per la sua morfologia, la grotta presenta particolari caratteristiche climatiche. Se nella porzione più interna la cavità mantiene una temperatura pressoché costante intorno ai 12 °C (cioè temperatura media annua del luogo in cui la grotta si apre), alla base del pozzo principale d'accesso essa varia tra i 10 °C nei mesi estivi e i 2 °C nei mesi invernali (indice che questa porzione di grotta rappresenta una trappola ad aria fredda).

Storia
Durante la prima guerra mondiale, tra il 1916 e il 1917, la grotta venne utilizzata dagli Austriaci, che la indicavano come Taubenloch Höhle o Taubenschlucht ("Buco dei Colombi"), come posto di ricovero e di medicazione per i soldati (si stima che potesse ospitare 250 soldati) e adattata con l'apertura di un ingresso a galleria adiacente al pozzo principale. Nella primavera del 1917 l'area venne occupata dall'esercito italiano, che a sua volta adibì la grotta a posto di medicazione. Il nome dato dagli Austriaci è dovuto alla presenza di colombi selvatici ed ha un corrispettivo in lingua slovena (Golobinka). Nel 1946 una grande quantità di residuati bellici, anche di grosso calibro, fu estratta ad opera dei Rastrellatori; ancora oggi, tuttavia, all'interno della cavità si possono ritrovare molti reperti risalenti al primo conflitto mondiale.

Oltre all'uso militare, la grotta è stata oggetto di interesse da parte degli speleologi. Il primo rilievo della cavità fu realizzato qualche anno dopo la Grande Guerra, nel gennaio 1923, ad opera del Colonnello Italo Gariboldi (SAG). La revisione del rilievo originale è stata effettuata in data 16 giugno 1968 da Ugo Stocker del Gruppo Speleologico Monfalconese ed è oggi disponibile per la consultazione sul Catasto Grotte della Regione Friuli-Venezia Giulia. Nei decenni passati la grotta è stata praticata da varie Scuole di Speleologia, in particolare per l'insegnamento della tecnica esplorativa.

A partire dagli anni ottanta l'Abisso Bonetti ha attirato l'attenzione di studiosi e appassionati ed è stata oggetto di ricerche studi scientifici a carattere botanico, faunistico e geologico.

La fauna
L'Abisso Bonetti rappresenta uno dei quattro siti in cui è possibile osservare il coleottero carabide Typhlotrechus bilimeki tergestinus, un predatore troglobio, cieco e totalmente depigmentato. Le altre specie presenti nella cavità sono specie cavernicole comuni nell'area carsica. Tra le specie troglobie si segnalano il ragno Mesostalita nocturna, i crostacei Alpioniscus strasseri e Androniscus stygius e il coleottero colevide Bathysciotes khevenhulleri tergestinus. Tra le specie troglofile si segnalano il millepiedi Brachydesmus subterraneus, due specie di centopiedi litobidi, l'ortottero Troglophilus neglectus, il lepidottero Triphosa dubitata, il dittero Limonia nubeculosa e una specie di foride, il coleottero carabide Laemostenus cavicola, i coleotteri stafilinidi Atheta spelaea e Quedius mesomelinus. Inoltre, la parte iniziale della cavità è utilizzata come riparo da parte di pipistrelli (in particolare il rinolofo maggiore Rhinolophus ferrumequinum) e uccelli (sono stati osservati nidificare alcuni allocchi nelle nicchie del pozzo d'accesso).

Sulla base del pozzo a cielo aperto si osserva una grande quantità di insetti, ragni, anfibi e rettili troglosseni, che durante i mesi estivi vengono attratti dalla bassa temperatura e dall'umidità del pozzo e vi cadono all'interno, riuscendo in qualche caso a sopravvivere, ma rimanendo intrappolati e senza la possibilità di ritornare nell'ambiente esterno.

La flora
Nonostante le grotte siano ambienti totalmente privi di luce, in cui la fotosintesi non è possibile e di conseguenza le piante non crescono, per la sua particolare morfologia (un'apertura di grandi dimensioni che dà accesso a un pozzo profondo) nell'Abisso Bonetti una certa quantità di luce riesce a penetrare, permettendo la crescita di alcune specie di piante. La vegetazione che cresce nell'abisso può essere suddivisa in diverse fasce vegetazionali, che dall'alto (esterno) verso basso (parte più interna) sono:
 zona liminare (fino a 10 m di profondità): in questa zona, ancora ben illuminata, crescono gli stessi alberi e piante erbacee che si trovano all'esterno della cavità (piante tipiche del seslerio-ostreto), oltre ad alcune felci dei generi Asplenium e Polypodium
 zona subliminare (11-25 m): in questa zona si osservano alcune fanerogame (nocciolo, falsa ortica, lattuga dei boschi, ciclamino, dentaria a nove foglie), alcune felci (erba rugginina e lingua di cervo), muschi (in particolare Thamnobryium alopecurum) e le prime colonie di alghe verdi
 zona suboscura (26-40 m): in questa zona, in cui la quantità di luce è fortemente ridotta, si osservano soprattutto muschi ed epatiche, oltre ad alcune residue felci (erba rugginina)
 zona oscura (41-49): in questa zona, ormai priva di luce ma abbastanza umida, sopravvivono solo alcune colonie di batteri e alghe verdi, a cui si aggiungono muffe e funghi (organismi non fotosintetici) che crescono sul materiale in decomposizione

Geologia
Negli anni '90 sono stati scoperti nella grotta due minerali fino ad allora sconosciuti nelle grotte italiane: la crandallite e l'octacalcium phosphate (OCP).

More than 60 people carrying signs saying, "Schools are not prisons," "Stop criminalizing our children," and "Justice for Que'Chawn" rallied outside the Allegheny County Courthouse May 12, asking District Attorney Stephen A. Zappala to recuse himself from investigating alleged cases of abuse in the Woodland Hills school district, saying he is not impartial.
Reverend Richard Freeman, pastor of Resurrection Baptist Church in Braddock, began the rally by noting the District Attorney moved swiftly to charge Joseph Golden III, a behavioral specialist at Rankin Promise, with simple assault and endangering a child, but did not charge Woodland Hills High School principal Kevin Murray and school resource Officer Steve Shaulis, an officer with the Churchill Police Department, after they were seen on surveillance video subduing Black students at the high school.
Golden III is Black, Murray and Shaulis are White.
Reverend Freeman likened Zappala to a dam stopping the flow of justice for Black children in the district, charging them and letting the abusers go free.
"Dam—Stephen Zappala," he said, which the crowd repeated. "We demand you recuse yourself from cases involving Woodland Hills and turn them over to state Attorney General Josh Shapiro.
Wade, 14, who attended the rally with his mother and attorney Todd Hollis, can be seen in an April 3 video being dragged by Shaulis into his office where he was allegedly beaten to the point where he lost a tooth. Another student in a 2015 video was seen pinned to the floor by Murray while Officer Shaulis shocked him with a taser several times.

I looked similar questions here and discovered ocilib as answer. But using of it is complicating. I downloaded latest package, added path to include dir to my environment variable PATH, included this dir to my c++ project(Project - Properties - C/C++ General - Paths and symbols - Includes). Rebuilding project, but console still writing "ocilib.h No such file or directory".

Lithuanian president goes to Estonia to discuss security, energy
BNS/TBT Staff
Photo: Augustas Didžgalvis
VILNIUS - Gitanas Nauseda is leaving on Tuesday for his first visit as Lithuanian president to Estonia to discuss security, energy and other issues with the country's leaders.
Nauseda is scheduled to meet with President Kersti Kaljulaid, Prime Minister Juri Ratas and President of the Riigikogu Henn Polluaas.
The countries' leaders "will discuss bilateral political and economic cooperation, security situation in the Baltic region, NATO defense plans as well as EU agenda, including the new financial framework and formation of the new European Commission, during the visit," the Lithuanian president's office said in a press release.
"The meeting will also focus on strengthening of trilateral cooperation among the Baltic States in the form of presidents' meetings, collaboration between Lithuania and Estonia in research and innovation and development of the joined Baltic capital market," it said.
Nauseda will address "energy issues, including power grid synchronization with the continental Europe, single European natural gas market and safety of the Astravyets nuclear power plant" as well as joint infrastructure development projects such as Rail Baltica and Via Baltica.
Lithuania has not yet joined a common natural gas market that is being created by the other Baltic countries and Finland.
According to information available to BNS, the main sticking points in the talks with Lithuania are Vilnius' insistence on keeping the money from gas transit shipments to Russia's Kaliningrad region and compensation for Lithuania's investments in a gas pipeline to Poland.
This is Nauseda's fourth foreign visit after he was sworn in as president in mid-July. It follows his trip to Poland, Latvia and Germany

Something new brewing in Huvina Hadagali: Farmer grows coffee; Coffee Board starts quality tests
Farmers in North Karnataka are now trying to grow coffee and if proven to be of good quality, it will be a game changer for the region
November 25, 2022 10:23 pm | Updated November 26, 2022 12:31 am IST - Bengaluru
Darshan Devaiah B.P.
Gaddi Guddappa, a farmer from Huvina Hadagali in Vijayanagara district, has cultivated coffee on his eight acres of land successfully.
When someone says coffee from Karnataka, three names immediately come to mind: Kodagu, Chikkamagaluru, and Sakleshpur in Hassan district. But something new is brewing in an unexpected corner of the State: farmers in North Karnataka are now trying to grow coffee and if proven to be of good quality, it will be a game changer for the region.
Gaddi Guddappa, a farmer from Huvina Hadagali in the Vijayanagar district, has cultivated coffee on eight acres of land successfully. Mr. Guddappa told The Hindu, "I bought the plants from Chikkamagaluru and Shivamogga four years back and this year, I have got the yield of 1,600 kg of coffee from my eight acres of plantation."
According to him, the coffee which he had grown is the first in the district and also in the North Karnataka region. Many farmers in his district are visiting his plantation every day to learn about and see the coffee beans grown. "For me, it was a very new crop and I didn't know the outcome of it. I learnt how to grow coffee by visiting Chikkamagaluru. Many people from my area who were working in the coffee estates there had told me about it. I bought Arabica-Chandragiri variety coffee from Shivamogga nursery and started to grow it," Mr. Guddappa added.
The farmer is using arecanut palms and a few other kinds of trees as shade for coffee plants.
Initially, Mr. Guddappa was growing arecanut on his land. He then started to grow coffee in the middle of the arecanut farm, as traditionally, all coffee is shade grown. He is using arecanut palms and a few other kinds of trees as shade for coffee plants while growing pepper as intercrop. "I am the first person to cultivate coffee in this region. This year, a few farmers in Lingsugur in Raichur district and Bagalkot district have also started growing coffee," he said.
Coffee Board testing it
Coffee Board officials recently visited Huvina Hadagali and collected samples of the coffee for quality testing. K.G. Jagadeesha, Chief Executive Officer and Secretary of the Coffee Board, told The Hindu, "Since we got the information that coffee is grown there, our officials have visited the village and taken samples. Only after proper analysis of the coffee yield and quality will we be able to comment. Testing is going on and it will take time to give our scientific analysis of the crop."
According to Mr. Jagadeesha, coffee plants can be grown anywhere. However, the quality has to be met to the proper standard for the coffee to be marketable and drinkable. "We don't want to recommend anything based on physical observation. We want to go by extensive testing of the coffee beans. As a responsible agency, we have to see everything, including long-term sustainability, but we are exploring," he added.

We all suffer from a variety of different ailments and sometimes, infections may be a problem. In fact, we live in a world where we are not only dealing with infections, we are dealing with superinfections that seem to defy all attempts to destroy the bacteria. That is why many people have looked beyond modern medicine and are looking to more natural cures that have been used for thousands of years.
Turmeric is one of those treatments that has been used for hundreds of years throughout China, India and elsewhere in the Orient. It was used for flavoring in various types of cuisine as well. The characteristic flavor of Turmeric and the deep yellow color made it easy to identify. You might be surprised, however, with the number of medicinal properties it makes available.
Turmeric is often used for treating minor cuts and wounds, skin conditions, muscle sprains, respiratory problems, muscle spasms, indigestion, gastric issues, inflammation and some types of cancer. It is also used in the treatment of infections.
Curcumin, which is the active ingredient in turmeric, is an antioxidant that is very powerful and has both antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. It is able to prevent a number of issues, including H. pylori, gastritis, gastric ulcers and microbes. It can also reduce inflammation on a cellular level.
If you suffer from osteoarthritis, which is one of the most common problems experienced by elderly people today, you would be interested in knowing that turmeric provides a natural treatment. Another ingredient within turmeric, turmerone, can also have a positive effect on the brain. As it helps to repair brain cells, it can fight off a problem with Alzheimer's.
Curcumin is able to affect the DNA within the cell positively. It helps the cells within the human body to survive and reduces inflammation, which is one of the more common issues that people experience. Inflammation can lead to a wide variety of diseases and it is a very common part of pain. Using turmeric as a natural treatment for inflammation can help to reduce those problems.
Simply mix these two ingredients in a glass jar and keep some on hand in order to reduce inflammation and to fight many different problems that can occur within the human body.
You can fight the flu effectively by taking half a spoonful of this mixture every hour. Don't simply swallow it straight away but rather, allow it to melt naturally within the mouth. You can then do the same thing on the following day but stretch the dosages out to every two hours. From the third day onward, you can use it every three hours.
The combination of turmeric and honey can provide a very powerful natural treatment. Use it wisely and benefit from it.
