It's probably not what you have in mind, but it might make a good job to have for a year or two while you apply for other positions.

The default REPLY function for SEELANGS posts to the list. However, I find that many people want (and should be getting) off-list responses. Accidental reply-posts meant for individuals have gone to the list, triggering a second posting by way of apology to SEELANGS members. I consider myself a pretty savvy Internet user, but I have also made this mistake - and more than once. So here's my question: is it possible (and is it worth it) to change the SEELANGS default so that the reply function aims the mail only to the original sender? (Many years ago I used to manage a list where the owner could set that default.) Such a change - if it can be done - might save lots of embasrassment. people who wanted to post to the list could then add the seelangs address. BTW, I think that one of the reasons for so many "mistakes" is that many mail programs list the SEELANGS original sender by the sender's name in the FROM column of an e-mail index. SEELANGS shows up in the TO column. Of course, a careful e-mailer should always check to TO line in the e-mail, but then if we always checked all the things we should check, we would never have to pay library fines or late fees on cable service. -Rich Robin PS - If changing the replay default is technically impossible, then please accept my "Emily Latella": Never mind... ________________________________ Richard M.

Such a change - if it can be done - might save lots >of embasrassment. people who wanted to post to the list could then add the >seelangs address. Richard (and others who might be interested), Is it possible? Yes. The LISTSERV software allows for a lot of flexibility. Is it desirable? My opinion is no, it's not. SEELANGS is a discussion list. The current configuration encourages discussion. As we've all seen, many list members here spend a lot of time composing replies to messages posted to the list, some even pulling books off shelves to share citations and material that would otherwise be difficult to locate. Those efforts benefit all of us. If they're routinely sent only to one person, everyone else loses out. Your proposal presupposes that list members intending that their replies be sent back to the list will take the affirmative action necessary to address those replies properly. Given what we've seen really happens (i.e., people just click on "Reply" and then "Send"), I think you'd have to agree that wouldn't be the case. In other words, it's a balancing act. Mistakes will be made. The real question is on which side one prefers they be made. I'd rather see people err and send personal replies to the list once in a while, rather than see them always send messages that could benefit the group to just one person. What SHOULD be happening here is that SEELANGS list members should be trying to acquaint themselves with their e-mail programs, such that they feel comfortable using them and able to prevent the misaddressed replies we see here sometimes. That's why we have a list guideline that addresses the issue. That's why I often write off-list to list members who make this particular mistake to point it out to them. It's a question of navigating the learning curve, though, and each of us has his or her own pace. >BTW, I think that one of the reasons for so many "mistakes" is that many >mail programs list the SEELANGS original sender by the sender's name in the >FROM column of an e-mail index. SEELANGS shows up in the TO column. It doesn't really matter, I think, how a particular e-mail program displays the contents of a message's mail header. I believe that many people, especially those who don't post very frequently to discussion lists, are simply used to clicking on "Reply" and having their replies go to the person who wrote the message to which they're replying. That's the underlying issue. (By the way, for those of you who understand how e-mail addressing works, the SEELANGS list address doesn't just show up in the "To:" field, but also in the "Sender:" field and the "Reply-to:" field, but most people choose not to view the full headers of messages in their e-mailbox.) My bottom line is this: Although I appreciate the frustration caused by misaddressed messages posted to SEELANGS, I don't believe changing the default "Reply-to:" address from the list's address to the sender's address is the answer. In fact, I believe it would cause even more problems, including a decrease in the value of the exchanges we see posted to the list, as they would no longer be posted to the list, at least not in their entirety. Finally, I will point out that list members can help ameliorate this problem in three ways: 1) Get familiar with your e-mail program. Remember to pay close attention to where your replies are heading before you send them. 2) If you do make a mistake and post a personal reply to the entire list, do not post a second message to the entire list to apologize. Everyone will understand it was an unintentional mistake, and we won't hold it against you. Instead, feel free to write to me off-list at SEELANGS-Request at LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU to make me aware that you realize what you did, and I will refrain from sending you a reminder of our list guideline. 3) If you're posting a message to SEELANGS and know up front that replies to your message would be best directed to you directly, off-list, then you can override the list's default and instruct LISTSERV to send all replies to your SEELANGS post directly to you and not to the list. Accomplishing that is as easy as inserting your own "Reply-to:," containing your own address, into the message you submit for distribution. Most e-mail programs make this a very easy thing to do. If you don't know how it's done, read the program's documentation or ask your local mail guru. Note, for example, that I have changed the default "Reply-to:" address on this post. It now points back to the list owners' address. I've done that on purpose, as I feel you should bother me with any replies you send, rather than the entire list. :) Regards, - Alex, list owner of SEELANGS seelangs-request at listserv.cuny.edu ....................................................................

When I posted a message to SEELANGS just a few minutes ago, it was delivered to all of you. One of you is away, out of the office until April 4th. I learned this fact when that person's e-mail program responded to my post with an "Auto Reply," an automated message also sometimes known as a "vacation message." Please, if you're going to be away from e-mail for any length of time, and you feel the need to set an Auto Reply message to advise your friends and colleagues who write to you of that fact, don't also burden each list member who posts to SEELANGS. Many Auto Reply features are configurable, such that you can set them not to respond to messages fitting certain criteria (e.g., where the "To:" address contains SEELANGS at LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU). If yours is not that flexible, then before you depart and leave that Auto Reply program running, remember to tell LISTSERV to stop sending you SEELANGS mail while you're gone. That's easily done (and the procedure is described in the Welcome message). In fact, if I do post to the list and am sent such an Auto Reply, to spare the rest of you I will set the affected member to NOMAIL, which instructs LISTSERV not to send list mail to that subscriber temporarily. If this happens to you (as it has to a couple of people lately), all you need to do to resume delivery of list mail is to set yourself back to MAIL. Again, that procedure is in the Welcome message. If you find yourself in need of your own copy of the SEELANGS Welcome message, simply send the command: GET WELCOME SEELANGS in the body of e-mail to: LISTSERV at LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU You can also find it on our Web site. The URL is below. Many thanks in advance for your attention to this matter.

AR> The LISTSERV software allows . . .. What SHOULD AR> be happening . . .. My own apologies in advance, given the subject line, for a short tech aside. As manager of several lists totaling 4,000 users, I might add an additional reason the listowner's point is sound: although reply-to fields exist, not all e-mail programs map "reply" the same way among from, sender, x-sender, and reply-to, etc.; let alone map "reply-to-all"the same way. A sending program can control a reply-to field; but that can't control all client programs. Now the changed title to return to Slavic issues: I am wondering whether any Seelanger knows the whereabouts in the US of any copies of either (1) Rudolf Teshnohlidek's original book entitled Liska Bystrouska, published in 1920 (?-before the opera that was made from it -- Prihody Lisky Bystrousky), or (2) the earlier serial appearances of the story in Lidove Noviny, with the illustrations by Stanislav Lolek? It's actually a set of Lolek's illustrations from the pre-opera book and from Lidovych Novin that I'm interested in finding and getting by interlibrary loan. (Or, if reprints of the original Lolek illustrations are available in bookstores in the Czech Republic, an ISBN?) -- Michael Trittipo tritt002 at tc.umn.edu ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Use your web browser to search the archives, control your subscription options, and more.

In 1914 in the Russian Empire (save for Finland, according to Baedeker), the Julian calendar was the secular and church calendar in use, and "this reckoning is 13 days behind the rest of Europe." [This is, of course, still the case in Russian Orthodox Churches that function according to "Old-Style" calendars.] But here is my question, were the days of the week the same in the Russian Empire and Europe? If, for example, October 18, 1905 (New Style) fell on a Wednesday, was October 5 (Old Style) also a Wednesday? This leads to the second question: one of these days the "gap" between Julian and Gregorian calendars will increase to 14 days. Does anyone know when that will happen (it supposedly increases a day every century or so)? When this does occur, what will happen to relative days of week? -- Franklin A. Sciacca Assoc.

Medievalism concerns documenting and exploring all instances of the evocation of what is taken to be medieval. Typical questions of a scholar of medievalism might include "why does a certain pattern of sound in a modern symphony evoke as sense of the medieval" or "how does a film represent the medieval and to what purposes?" >From its inception, the medieval has been an historiographical, aesthetic, political concept, and studies in medievalism endeavors self-consciously to understand these and other dimensions of this powerfully defining concept. This year, we are particularly concerned to see how the postmodern-broadly defined-conceptualizes the medieval. The Conference on Medievalism has proven to be an annual event of collegial exchange among scholars from fields usually kept separate by the structure of American as well as international academia. It has also proven to be fertile ground for both Studies in Medievalism and The Year's Work in Medievalism, two highly interdisciplinary journals devoted to the advancement of studying the ways and purposes people invoke the medieval. The 2002 conference is being hosted at the University of Northern Iowa, Cedar Falls, IA, 50614-0502. Richard Utz, 319/273-3879, Jesse Swan, 319/273-2089. Information about the conference can also be obtained from Gwendolyn Morgan, Director of Conferences: Studies in Medievalism, Department of English, Montana State University, Bozeman, MT 59717, 406/994-5190, and on our website: http://www.uni.edu/~utz/medievalism/ Please send proposals to the hosts, who will acknowledge all correspondence.

The days of the week stay the same because the issue which causes the discrepancy (whether or not years ending in -00 are leap years) does not affect the cycle of succession of days of week: Monday will follow Sunday (alas) whether you call it 29 February or 1 March. The gap will increase to 14 days on 29 February/14 March 2100 (if my arithmetic is correct), since 2100 is a leap year in the Julian calendar, but not in the Gregorian calendar. The gap did not increase in 2000, since that was a leap year in both calendars. Incidentally, I noticed around the turn of the year that some circles in Russia consider the Julian calendar more accurate than the Gregorian.

Can anyone suggest a textbook (or part of a textbook) with exercises on word formation (I'm particularly interested in verbal prefixes, suffixes and imperfective derivation) suitable for third-year Russian students in a reading-oriented course? I have, of course, Townsend's "Russian Word-Formation" but it doesn't have exercises. I also fear it's a little too technical, given both the level of my students and the aims of the course (at the moment--alas!--pretty much of the old-fashioned reading through translation/grammar variety). In an ideal world, what I'd like is something along the lines of Kagan/Miller or Rifkin's reading-oriented discussions of participles.

If, for example, October 18, 1905 (New Style) fell on a >>Wednesday, was October 5 (Old Style) also a Wednesday? > Jules's Levin's question is not simple at all. I see two separate questions here: (1) When it was Wednesday noon in Paris, was it also Wednesday in St Petersburg? Yes, I believe it was. The rest of my message is based on it. (2) If October 18 N.S. was a Wednesday in Paris, was October 18 O.S. going to be a Wednesday as well in Russia "when they got to it" 13 days later? No, it fell on a Tuesday. So, following the dates, I would assume the following actually happened: October 18 (New Style) falls on a Wednesday, in Paris. That makes it Wednesday, October 18, 19xx In Russia they're calling it October 5 (Old Style), 19xx. It's Wednesday nevertheless -- I assume. BUT October 5 was a Thursday when it "occurred" in Paris 13 days before. Soooo: If you gave a complete date, including the day of the week, there WOULD be a discrepancy in the day of the week, In 19xx, a Parisian would have written the date October 18 as: ... *Wednesday* October 18, 19xx And a Russian, thirteen days later, would write ... *Tuesday* October 18, 19xx I don't know if this addresses Jules question. (I don't even know if I'm correct about my basic assumption). Can anyone confirm or correct?? -FR Francoise Rosset phone: (508) 286-3696 Russian and Russian Studies fax: (508) 286-3640 Wheaton College e-mail: frosset at wheatonma.edu Norton, Massachusetts 02766 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Use your web browser to search the archives, control your subscription options, and more.

I see two separate >questions here: There are two separate questions here, but I, Jules Levin, was not the originator of the question, but only the first answerer. I answered only one of the questions. That was, as I understood it, whether if the Gregorian and Julian calendars disagree on the date of the month, do they also disagree on the day of the week at any given time. The answer is no. With the qualification that the time varies from Greenwich Mean Time across the planet, so that a Tuesday segues into a Wednesday over 24 latitudinal intervals as the planet rotates, the day of the week is the "same" everywhere that observes the 7-day week. (There would be another small hitch in that the Hebrew day changes at sunset, not at midnite...I don't know about the Moslem day). When it is Easter Sunday in Rome, it is still Sunday, though ordinary, in Moscow, Tel Aviv, and Mecca, and Tokyo, for that matter. That's how I understood the original question. But I realize now that perhaps the questioner meant something else--naturally if the Julian Calendar lagged behind the Gregorian by 13 days, a given date, e.g., May 1, would fall on different days of the 7 day week. When the lag extends to 14 days, this would not be true, but when it moves on to a 15 day lag, once again May 1 would fall on different days. The idea that the Julian is more accurate is a fantasy. Eventually a holiday tied to it will move into another season...I believe I once read a mention in Chekhov (?) to the fact that some date--a Saint's day perhaps--when something was supposed to happen, a tree to bloom perhaps, no longer had this phenomenon. In this respect the Julian is like the Moslem calendar, so out of synch with the solar year that Ramadan moves through the seasons within one lifetime. The Hebrew calendar avoids this by throwing in an occasional leap month--Adar 2---and is supposed to be even more accurate than the Gregorian.

Here are some sites that might be of interest to you: - http://www.pbs.org/weta/faceofrussia/, the 'Face of Russia' Site of Billington (under 'reference' you can find many other links there too); - www.guelman.ru, specialized in contemporary Russian art, but containing many links to other 'hip' Russian sites as well - http://www.lonelyplanet.com/destinations/europe/russia/obt.htm, the Russia page of the Lonely Planet, is maybe too general, but might be interesting too. It is not exactly what you are looking for (there are no nightlife or economy ;-)) but you may like it and it is definitely attract some romantic soul towards Russia ;-)) (IMHO images of our economy assure 'perfect' nightmare...) http://fotospb.narod.ru/pages/eenter.htm - St.-Petersburg and its outskirts photos, also nature etc. http://highland.by.ru - mind, there are not only Russia images! Kizhi -- there are some absolutely gorgeous, though traditional, pictures of Kizhi taken by a Viktor Bus at: (Karelian sites in general are nice) http://www.onego.ru/win/pages/kizhi/index_e.htm When my lit class last semester looked for pictures of the Caucasus, I joked that Chechnya would be too busy these days to *have* a website. Wrong -- they have an excellent one, and some pictures are very topical in a human-political kind of way. http://amina.com/ The beautiful color pictures are at http://amina.com/images/icpic/ and there's more. Our lit course page with some of these links -- and much more info -- can be found on our Dept page for that course, at: http://www2.wheatonma.edu/Academic/AcademicDept/Russian/RUSSIAN/lit.html Also check out Ben Sher's site, he always has stuff listed in an easily accessible manner. I recommend the "Photography section," such as "scenes of Russia," which is more people-oriented. http://www.websher.net/inx/icdefault1.htm And if you want vitality in contemporary art (a stretch from what you were looking for), check "From Russian With Art" at http://www.artinfo.ru/ Top link: visual arts. You will find some super (and a few not-so-super) colour shots of Moscow and St-Petersburg on this Canadian site: Look for three beginning with 'nought' ('0moscou' & '0st petersburg') near the top of the list, then in alphabetical order under 'moscou' and 'st petersburg'. For a description of the whole family trip, including Russia, see The Russian section is covered in entries from 18/11 to 29/11/2000. Although it is in English, the web site has fantastically informative Yellow Pages for Moscow and, I assume, for St. Petersburg. I found a few pictures of Russian landmarks at the Microsoft Clip Art Design Gallery by typing in Russia and searching for photos (Red Square, St. Basils, Winter Palace, etc.): http://dgl.microsoft.com/. I also learned of a book and a CD-ROM that are coming out soon: Abbeville Press's "The Russians Emerge" (I'm not sure of the author/photographer) Lauren Leighton's CD-ROM "Russia: A Visual Course of Lectures on Modern Russian Culture" coming out from LexiconBridge Publishers. I found that many Russian Departments had websites with images, some with images of Russia taken by their students or featuring their students (Macalaster, Dartmouth were among them.) I hope that this collection of links is useful to you. Thanks to the many Slavists who responded to my query.

Most versions of Win95 also come with UNDELETE.EXE or a similar utility. If you don't have that, try opening files in directories where Win95 stores temporary information, for instance C:\WINDOWS\TEMP. Finally, if that doesn't work you can try downloading undelete utilities from the net. You can find these by going to http://www.zdnet.com/downloads and typing in "undelete" in the Search box. But be warned: the first part of your hard disk to be written with new, downloaded data is usually the part that contains recently deleted data. Writing new information to the disk could destroy your files forever. elizabeth ginzburg wrote: > > Thank you for your prompt answers.

Visit and bookmark the SEELANGS Web Interface at: > http://home.attbi.com/~lists/seelangs/ > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Regarding the Julian-Gregorian differences, here's how I understand it: 1. The earth goes around the sun 365.4 days every rotation. Under the Julian calendar, to get the days back on track, a leap year was added every fourth year with a February 29th. This would work if the rotation was 365.3333..., but it isn't. Thus another reform is needed. 2. The Gregorian reform attempts to solve the 365.4-365.333 problem. According to the reform, century years will not have February 29th, even though they are leap years and divisible by 4. 3. But then, the adjustment has been made too much the other way. Therefore, in century which are divisible by 400, the February 29th will be included even though it is a century. 4. It ends up that the year 2000 was subjected to three rules: it is a regular leap year (so it should have a Feb. 29th), it is a century (so it shouldn't) and it is divisible by 400 (so it should again). Result? The year 2000 came and went, it had a February 29th, and few people noticed that this was a highly exceptional thing that happens only once every 400 years. 5. The 13 days will go to 14 in the year 2100. Please retain this e-mail and check it then to see if this really did happen.

Levitt) Dear colleague: I am writing on behalf of the Slavic and East European Section (SEES) of ACRL to inform you of a mentoring program organized by SEES for librarians working with Slavic and East European materials. Established in 1963, more than 300 librarians participate in the Slavic and East European Section. Information related to Russia and East European studies, the Baltic, Central Asia and the Caucasus is disseminated to members through the section newsletter, programs, committee meetings, mailing lists and our Web site. Recent projects initiated by the section include a directory of Slavic catalogers, the development a frequently asked question page for Slavic cataloging and the exchange of reports on preservation initiatives at various institutions. The SEES Newsletter, which averages 75-80 pages, is distributed internationally and includes a bibliography of recent publications relevant to the area of Slavic librarianship, information on new grants and acquisitions and profiles of special library collections. To learn more about SEES please check our home page at: www.gwu.edu/~sees/. The mentoring program is aimed at assisting librarians who may be new to the field or new to Slavic area studies. Many of the mentors have a great deal of experience working in public and technical services. Their knowledge is a valuable resource, and they have volunteered to advise librarians and/or students who are new to the profession or new to this area of librarianship. The SEES Continuing Education Committee is pleased to announce that this year it is co-sponsor of a Slavic cataloging workshop to be held during the Twelfth Annual Slavic Librarians' Workshop at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, from June 26-28, 2002. The workshop will cover LC subject headings/geographic headings, authority control, diacritics, metadata, cataloging in CORC, and use of macros in cataloging. We welcome prospective Slavic catalogers to join us at this year's event. More details on the Slavic Librarians' Workshop and on the special cataloging workshop can be obtained by contacting the Inna Gudanets, Chair, SEES Continuing Education Committee, Catalog Department, Stanford University, at: igudanet at stanford.edu, or Janice Pilch, Slavic and East European Library, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, at: pilch at uiuc.edu. If you know of someone who would benefit from the mentoring program and/or who might be interested in participating in the Slavic and East European Section, please share this information by forwarding this letter electronically to all students, or posting it on a bulletin board for everyone’s information. Interested persons should contact Inna Gudanets, Chair of the SEES Continuing Education Committee, at: igudanet at stanford.edu. Many thanks for your help.

The website given below has lots of information about the event. Tony Vanchu Dr. Anthony J. Vanchu Director, JSC Language Education Center TechTrans International, Inc. NASA Johnson Space Center Houston, TX Phone: (281) 483-0644 Fax: (281) 483-4050 The information below is from the site: http://www.yurisnight.net/ Celebrating Yuri Gagarin and the Space Shuttle 2002 is a fabulous year for space and for the citizens of the Earth. It is the 41st anniversary of the Russian achievement of launching the first human into space, and the 21st anniversary of the American achievement of launching the first reusable human spacecraft. And we first celebrated Yuri's Night in a year that finds both nations cooperating and having people on orbit together on International Space Station Alpha. Yuri's Night is a celebration of unparalleled human achievement, as well as of new and inspired human awareness. Yuri Gagarin was the first human to see the Earth from space, and to realize its awesome and fragile beauty. Yuri did not see lines demarcating countries or the conflicts between people. He did not see our problems or our achievements. What he saw was a magnificent planet, a tiny oasis in space, the home that we all share. Cosmonauts and astronauts who have since been to space have returned with a new awareness of how small the Earth really is, how important it is to protect it, and how we must put aside our differences and work together to live in peace. It is this spirit of space, of the new era of cooperation among nations to explore, learn, and be inspired, that we are commemorating with Yuri's Night. People from around the world, join together and celebrate! April 12th marks the anniversary of the dawn of new era. It is also our chance to look to what we can create for our planet's future - through curiosity, exploration, inspiration, and cooperation. With Yuri's Night, young people around the world are celebrating what it means to be human.

Ed. by Serguei Alex. Oushakine.

This volume is an attempt to apply western theories and methodologies to russian reality and also to replace the often abstract and amorphous notions of 'russian patriarchy' with the case-specific studies of this 'patriarchy'.

The creators of these icons stand in stark contrast to other 21st Century painters. Eschewing individuality, working co-operatively, their aim is faithfully to preserve the canon of subjects and techniques used in the first millennium. Now, as then, these images are made for worship and contemplation, for the glory of God, leaving little room therefore for originality or innovation. In Byzantium the icon, having inherited its classical Greek traditions, was for 1400 years the 'sole pictorial art form', as it continued to be in Russia until the 18th century, with the reign of Peter the Great. At the beginning of the 20th century it was seen as 'contemplation in paint.' (Count Evgeniy Trubetskoy). These painters share with us their concerns for the future of the icon. What is its place in art in the 21st century? As a reminder of the wealth of a Christian tradition? Could it still assert an inner truth? Are its painters unconsciously influenced by recent ideas and images? Might it still be the idealised image of 'imprinted eternity and cosmic beauty' as it was for Malevich and Kandinsky? Can it retain its spiritual purpose to focus prayer in sacred spaces? Approaching Holiness features work by a group of icon painters who have worked together since 1992 in St Petersburg. These are their leader Olga Steblin-Kamenskaya, Tatiana Kolibaba, Maria Poltorac, Andrey Budarin and Irina Filonova who have made icons for churches in St Petersburg, Novgorod and elsewhere. All the profits from the exhibition will be donated to Vozvrashenie Charitable Fund for Drug Rehabilitation in St. Petersburg, Russia. The exhibition opens at the White Space Gallery in St. Peter's, Vere Street, (off Oxford St.) London W1G 0DQ, Friday 5 April - Thursday 2 May, 11 - 6 p.m. daily (closed Sundays). See www.whitespacegallery.co.uk or call 0208 740 46 75 for more details. There will be a lecture entitled 'The History and Contemporary Reality of Icon Painting' with English translation at 7 p.m., 9 April. Admission £4. Concs £2. Family Event demonstrating techniques of icon painting at 11 am, 6 April. Admission £3. Children Free. Anya and Michael Stonelake started White Space Gallery in 1999. 'Approaching Holiness' is their fifth exhibition of Russian contemporary art. Previous exhibitions include: 2001 Mitki: Losers Victorious. 2001 Vladimir Shinkarev: World Literature (also shown at the Cheltenham Festival of Literature). 2001 Dmitry A Prigov: Phantom Installations 2002 ART 2002 Islington, London. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Use your web browser to search the archives, control your subscription options, and more.

Danaher) Date: Thu, 11 Apr 2002 15:45:20 -0600 Subject: CALL FOR PAPERS Message-ID: A non-text attachment was scrubbed... Name: not available Type: text/enriched Size: 1966 bytes Desc: not available URL: From eb7 at NYU.EDU Fri Apr 12 19:16:20 2002 From: eb7 at NYU.EDU (Eliot Borenstein) Date: Fri, 12 Apr 2002 15:16:20 -0400 Subject: Cyrillic fonts on OS X (long summary) In-Reply-To: Message-ID: First of all, I want to thank everyone who took the time to give me advice on Cyrillic for OS X. Interestingly enough, almost everyone had something different to say. So here are some of the more useful ideas: 1) Linda Shipley suggested using the shareware browser Omniweb (which is native for OS X, and which several of the OS X guides I've seen praise to the skies). It can be downloaded for free, and apparently has worked perfectly well for all her Slavic (not just Russian) browsing. She also installed fonts to use in Apple Works and Apple Mail. The Cyrillic in Apple Mail can be read only by PCs, and the keyboard is the standard Russian layout, not the phonetic, Latin-friendly one. The issue of keyboards quickly proved to be central, as you can see from some of the other suggestions. 2) Rachel Platonov has been browsing the Web with Explore 5.1 and been able to read her Cyrillic sites. She also installed Cyrillic II fonts, which is of particular interest to me, since I also use Cyrillic II. However, she also writes: "The process of making OS X Cyrillic-friendly (at least for me) was not entirely straightforward, however, primarily because OS X lacks a phonetic keyboard layout for Cyrillic. Furthermore, because of the way OS X is designed --Apple does not supply end-users with the necessary information for Root access to allow changes to the system--I had to do quite a bit of online research on my own in order to figure out how to install a phonetic keyboard layout; Apple's website was useless in this respect. I don't remember all of the details off the top of my head, but I can probably resurrect them if need be." Obviously, this is rather complicated. What I gathered from some sources is that you need to install these sorts of third-party fonts in Classic, and then somehow you get access to them in OS X. 3) Alexandra Leontieva suggested that an OS X version of Dialect (made by the people who make Unispell) might be available by now on www.textar.ru. I have not checked out this possibility. 4) Anne Eakin Moss installed xRussify Mac 1.0,which is available on http://macintosh.ru/crussify/. It successfully installed Russian keyboards for Word, etc., but caused minor glitches in OSX. To overcome these problems, she reinstalled OSX (which did not cause her to lose any information or fonts). She says that apparently, if you install the fonts right after a fresh install of the OS (before installing anything else), this problem won't arise. Of course, that means that you actually have to know you want to do this before you start installing other things, or end up doing a re-install. Also, she has not been able to have access to a phonetic/transliterated keyboard. Browsing has worked for her, although, in Explorer, she's had to switch back and forth between Character Sets in the View menu sometimes. 5) Jack Franke found xRussy Mac 1.0 to be even more troublesome than Anne Eakin Moss did; it crashed his system and caused the apple icon to disappear from the corner. He downloaded CyrilliX 1.0 from www.download.com (I found it by searching for Cyrillix 1.0) and installed it. He highly recommends it. I also downloaded and installed it. The first time I messed around with keyboard menus, all the commands in all my menus disappeared, but after I restarted, it worked quite well. The fonts support Russian, Ukrainian, and Bulgarian, and there is a phonetic keyboard available for the Russian. It works just fine. As far as I can tell, it installs just one Russian font, but I am hoping that this means I can install others and use them with the Cyrillix phonetic keyboard. So of all the options I've yet seen, this seems like the best one so far. Jack Franke also noted that the May 2002 issue of MacAddict (#69) has an article on making your Mac multilingual, with Cyrillic examples (pp. 76-79). I hope this has been useful. If anyone has more information, I'd welcome it.

Please respond off-list to the originator of the message--see _koordinaty_ below--not to me. Thanks, Jerry) --------------- Forwarded Message --------------- My mother was a teacher of Russian language and literature at Harvard and Boston College in the 60s and 70s. I would like to donate her library to a college or other potentially interested institution, but am not sufficiently familiar with the field to know who might be interested. Ideally, from my perspective, the books would actually be useful to the recipient as more than material for a used book sale. Her research interest was the emigre Russian writers and poets of the 20s, 30s and 40s. I'm not aware of any particularly valuable or rare works in this collection. There are a few hundred books, including also the collected works of Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Solzhenitsyn, etc., Russian grammars, and literary criticism. Thank you for any assistance or information you can send me.

This program is for citizens of all 12 NIS countries including: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyz Republic, Moldova, Russian Federation, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, and Uzbekistan. The Regional Scholar Exchange Program (RSEP), a program of the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs of the US Department of State, and administered by IREX, provides opportunities for junior and mid-level university faculty, researchers, scholars, and advanced graduate students from the NIS to conduct research in the United States for four months with the goal of contributing to the further development of higher education and scholarship in their home countries. Research must be in the social sciences or humanities. Hosting an international fellow brings a variety of benefits to US institutions such as free publicity through IREX and the fellow, campus diversity, and the establishment of new contacts and international collaboration. IREX provides complete logistical support and monitors the progress of each fellow while they are on the program. US host institutions are asked to provide a host advisor willing to meet with the fellow to help guide them in their research as well as interaction with faculty, office space or other work space (shared if necessary), access to research resources (libraries, archives, other materials on location, etc.), as well as access to computer, e-mail, and Internet facilities. The fellowship is fully funded covering travel, housing, living stipend, medical insurance, and a professional development allowance. Additional information and applications for hosting RSEP NIS fellows in the United States can be obtained and submitted by contacting IREX at rsep at irex.org. Applications can also be downloaded at http://www.irex.org/programs/rsep/nis.htm Opportunities are also available to host participants of the FSA Contemporary Issues Fellowship Program (CI).

For example, there are pleasant and unpleasant sounds (for Russian ear). Thus according to some investigations, ZH is unpleasant while L soft is pleasant (mild). And all the vowels may have some kind of colour. E.g. a (as in cup) is red, i (like in film) is blue, etc. Some programms (like VAAL) use it for text analysis. If anyone knows some investigations on the English material, please let me know offline. vbelyanin at mtu.ru Val Belianine, www.textology.ru and www.vaal.ru ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Use your web browser to search the archives, control your subscription options, and more.

Both previously installed copies of Cyrillic II and subsequently installed copies of Cyrillic II sans have worked in Word, and have worked with this keyboard. I have been able to install these fonts directly in OS X (by dropping them into the fonts folder), rather than initially installing them in 9.2, as some had suggested. There are only two minor issues: 1) Be aware that the Cyrillix Russian-QWERTY keyboard differs from the AATSEEL layout (the location of "zh", for instance). 2) A weird problem I haven't solved yet: often, when I move from one application into another (say, Internet Explorer, or SplashID, or Quicken), I am immediately switched into switched into the Russian keyboard (and a Russian font). This is a definite annoyance, and if anyone has any ideas about how to remedy the problem, I would be grateful if you let me know off-line.

Thank you all for your time. It depends a lot on who you are and what your purpose is. The best translation programs are designed for translation professionals -- people with specialized training, skills, and knowledge that permit them to use the tools wisely and well without depending on them as crutches and falling into the traps inherent in computer-aided translation (CAT). If you are a non-translator looking to save yourself some money, I feel ethically bound to warn you against pursuing this path, just as a doctor or lawyer would warn you against practicing on yourself. But if you are knowledgeable enough to use a CAT tool well, then go for it. The two most widely used programs in our profession are Trados and Déjà Vu . These programs are most effective -- and this is especially true of Trados -- if you have many texts within a narrow subject area or texts that contain repetitions of similar or identical phrases and sentences. Trados limits its recognition to the sentence level, while Déjà Vu also recognizes words and phrases. If you have a very diverse corpus, you should not expect to reap large savings with these programs until you have built up a large database of familiar "translation units" (pieces of text whose translations are known to the program). And that will take time, especially with Trados. In terms of your decision-making process, there are basically three options: 1) Do the work yourself, aided by a CAT tool such as Trados or Déjà Vu. The potential costs are the cost of buying and installing the software and your time spent learning to use it. The potential benefits include saving the money you might otherwise spend hiring it out and the control you will have over quality (assuming you are good enough to do this). 2) Hire a professional translation agency, paying them for their time and expertise but saving your own time. The potential costs are chiefly monetary -- the fee they will charge for their service. If you choose badly, as with any vendor, you can get poor quality, missed deadlines, etc. The potential benefits, if you choose wisely, are the high quality you will get from their professional staff and quality control procedures, and also the efficiency of a well-managed project that frees you to do your real job. 3) Do the work yourself without a CAT tool. The potential cost is that it will take a long time to finish a large project and it will take you away from your real job. The potential benefit is that this is the most economical choice. If you want more information and opinions from a large community of professional translators, I suggest you post a query to lantra-l, the "Language Translation" mailing list. The FAQ for the list is at . -- War doesn't determine who's right, just who's left. -- Paul B. Gallagher pbg translations, inc.

I just hope someone may know - and will be so kind as to tell me. (1) I am teaching a class - this coming year - on Pavlik Morozov: I have had the luck of getting some welcome suggestion from you already. But there seems to be a dearth of *literary* texts in English that take up the Morozov story. (Besides the Schipachev poem.) I am just going to translate some selections myself, I think - better or worse - but it seems hard to believe that SOviet publishing houses have never "cast" any of the Morozov myths onto the English-speaking world (so to speak). Does anyone happen to have an idea whether that has happened, and if so, where could one find a (Gubarev, Yakovlev, any...) of the Morozov stories in English? (2) The second question concerns my own research. I have been looking for film adaptations of Sholokhov, and beside Tixii Don and Osud cheloveka, there seem to be two - if not, of course, more - film adaptations of Podnyataya celina (the novel I am most interested in). I did manage (I hope) to locate a video copy of the later one (1959, A. Ivanov), but did not find any place where the earlier version, by Yuli Raizman (1939) would be: and even no information about it. (Is that a lost film - or just a film no one was interested in.... who knows.) Would anyone, by any chance, have any suggestion or could help? So many thanks.

A very helpful resource for tracking down rare films is the Russian State Documentary Film & Photo Archive , which has put their collection of 28,000 films in a searchable database: http://www.russianarchives.com/rao/catalogues/rgakfd/catalog.html. The collection's in Krasnogorsk (the suburb of Moscow, made famous in film circles because it's the place where the K3 (Krasnogorsk-3) windup film camera is made). The site lists a US phone number, so I suppose that, if one asked nicely and paid lots of money, they'd make a dupe of a film & send it anywhere. In any case, I've used the site for filmography purposes (most films have a short reviews), and the database is very useful & complete. As for Rajzman's film, the database lists four entries: [17903] ????????? ?? ?????? "????" ? ???????? ??????? ????. (1927) [5182] ??????. (1945) [17351] "?. ?. ??????????" (1948) [20372] ??????. (1967) So, it doesn't look like it has the one you're looking for. Still, you might poke around the site or call the archive & see if they have it (the database isn't complete yet).
