<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>In diesem Herbst nun wollten 13 Autorinnen und Autoren, vornehmlich Lyriker, eine Verbindung zwischen dem baltischen Vilnius und dem slawischen Minsk schaffen. Von deutschsprachiger Seite nahmen Ilma Rakusa (die soeben den Schweizer Buchpreis gewonnen hat) und Marcel Beyer teil. Der Danziger Lyriker Tadeusz <em><em>Dąbrowski</em></em>, 2008 mit dem Hubert-Burda-Preis für osteuropäische Lyrik ausgezeichnet, war besonders gespannt auf Minsk: Er hatte die Stadt zu Sowjetzeiten als Neunjähriger erlebt, bei einem Gastspiel der Balletttruppe seiner Mutter.</p>
<p>Litauen, Polen, Weißrussland: Einst gehörten die drei Regionen zusammen, waren zwei Jahrhunderte lang Bestandteil des stolzen polnisch-litauischen Großreichs. 1795 machte die dritte polnische Teilung der Adelsrepublik, der &#8220;Rzeczpospolita&#8221;, ein Ende. Adam Mickiewicz, der Schöpfer des polnischen Nationalepos &#8220;Pan Tadeusz&#8221;, wurde 1798 in Litauen geboren, das er stets als seine Heimat empfand.</p>
<p>Heute gibt sich die Stadt voller prächtiger Barockkirchen bemüht westlich. Neben italienischen Edelboutiquen bieten gebeugte Mütterchen ihre Blumen und Pilze feil. Am Rathaus prangt in Stein gemeißelt eine Versicherung von George W. Bush: &#8220;Jeder, der sich Litauen zum Feind wählt, macht sich damit auch die USA zum Feind.&#8221; / Katrin Hillgruber, <a href="http://www.fr-online.de/in_und_ausland/kultur_und_medien/feuilleton/2084282_Literaturfestival-European-Borderlands-Utopia-spricht-belarussisch.html" target="_blank">FR</a> 16.11.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><em>Question of Sport</em> is filmed a few weeks before transmission but sometimes the wily production team like to give the false impression that the show is going out live. Thus on last night&#8217;s show Sue Barker conspiratorially wished David Haye good luck for <em>tomorrow&#8217;s</em> fight. And a millisecond&#8217;s panic was seen on Haye&#8217;s face that he was actually facing up the giant Valuev the next day (everybody seems to be referring to Valuev like that, as if he&#8217;s a character from a Slavonic folk-tale). Mental sparring with a leathery tennis commentator is hardly the best last-minute preparation for a fistfight with a massive Cretaceous throwback.</p>
<p>The rise of heavyweights from Eastern Europe has meant that less fights are taking place in the States and more in places such as Nuremburg and Minsk Square Garden. A positive effect of which is that if you&#8217;re in the Greenwich Mean Time gang you don&#8217;t have to staple your eyelids to your forehead to tune into the action.</p>
<p>As usual for bouts of this magnitude Sky are broadcasting it on a pay-per-view basis. I wouldn&#8217;t baulk at stumping up the £15 cost so much if I knew how much action I was going to enjoy. Because if Valuev brings down his anvil-fist onto the top of Haye&#8217;s bonce and knocks him out in the first round then I will certainly feel short-changed. </p>
<p>I suggest a <em>pro rata</em> system, with possibly a cab-style meter running in a top corner which ticks over for the duration of the fight. That would be Valuev for money.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Cuối năm 1990, Minsk là đại diện duy nhất cho dòng xe mô-tô 125 cc tại Nga. Mặc dù mờ nhạt với giới trẻ châu Âu song Minsk vẫn đóng vai trò rất quan trọng trong lịch sử cơ giới hóa hàng loạt tại xứ sở bạch dương.</p>
<p>Những ngày đầu mới thành lập<br />
<a href="http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/mm284/thanh_army/linh%20tinh/57311242371118.jpg"><img src="http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/mm284/thanh_army/linh%20tinh/57311242371118.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />
M1A &#8211; anh cả của gia đình Minsk.</p>
<p>Nhà máy Minsk (tên chính thức là MMVZ, Minsk Moto-Velo Zavod) do người Đức xây dựng tại thành phố Belarus  năm 1945. Mục đích ban đầu của Minsk là sản xuất mô-tô và xe đạp. Liên kết với hãng Moskva, Minsk cho ra đời mẫu xe đầu tiên mang tên M1A tại Matxcơva. Về cơ bản, chiếc xe này là một bản nhái lại &#8220;đàn anh&#8221; DKW &#8220;RT 125&#8243; (mẫu mô-tô Đức đã từng truyền cảm hứng cho rất nhiều hãng tại Italia, Anh, Nhật…). Phiên bản M1A sau này được trang bị thêm bộ giảm xóc trước kiểu ống lồng.</p>
<p><a href="http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/mm284/thanh_army/linh%20tinh/56721242371203.jpg"><img src="http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/mm284/thanh_army/linh%20tinh/56721242371203.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />
M1A phiên bản thể thao cuối những năm 1940.</p>
<p>Thêm vào đó, &#8220;cậu cả&#8221; M1A còn truyền cảm hứng để cho ra đời nhiều phiên bản xe đua trong những năm 1948-49 với hệ thống làm mát bằng nước, bộ tăng nạp thể tích, công suất 16,5 mã lực và tốc độ 123 km/giờ. Năm 1951 chứng kiến những cải tiến mới trong loại xe M1SHCH Moskva khi động cơ 125 cc được thay thế bằng động cơ DOHC bốn thì. Đến năm 1958, Minsk trình làng M-101 mang kiểu dáng cách tân hơn hẳn so với &#8220;tiền bối&#8221; M1A mặc dù vẫn giữ nguyên động cơ.</p>
<p><a href="http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/mm284/thanh_army/linh%20tinh/99941242371413.jpg"><img src="http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/mm284/thanh_army/linh%20tinh/99941242371413.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />
Aist 125 &#8211; quả bom tấn tại thị trường Nga một thời.</p>
<p>Sau sản phẩm đầu tay M1A, &#8220;đàn em&#8221; Aist 125 cũng &#8220;nối gót&#8221; ra đời. Nếu không có gì nhầm lẫn thì cái tên &#8220;Aist&#8221; có nghĩa là &#8220;con cò&#8221;. Động cơ đi kèm Aist 125 hiển nhiên là động cơ hai thì, không có van cánh hoa, chạy bằng dầu hoặc hỗn hợp nhiên liệu, làm mát bằng không khí, hộp số 4 cấp và công suất tối đa 10 mã lực. Đánh lửa điện là điểm cải tiến duy nhất tìm thấy trong Aist 125. Ngoài ra, bộ yên thanh lịch cố định bằng đinh tán có khả năng gây ấn tượng mạnh cho bất cứ ai ngang qua. Tại Nga, Aist 125 có thể đứng ngang hàng với &#8220;quả bom tấn&#8221; RS 125 của Aprilia khi mới xuất hiện trên thị trường.</p>
<p><a href="http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/mm284/thanh_army/linh%20tinh/t192067.jpg"><img src="http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/mm284/thanh_army/linh%20tinh/t192067.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />
Sputnik hay đơn giản là Aist 125 phiên bản hiện đại.</p>
<p>Tuy nhiên, người dân xứ bạch dương lại chuộng Minsk hơn bởi đặc tính đơn giản và dễ sửa chữa rất phù hợp với thị trường Nga. Bên cạnh đó, những sản phẩm mang nhãn hiệu Minsk còn mang đến những chiến tích rất nổi bật như leo lên sông băng Fedscenko nằm giữa dãy Pamir trên độ cao 3.000 m. Không chỉ sản xuất mô-tô, hãng Minsk còn chế tạo cả động cơ. Một trong những sản phẩm có tiếng trong làng động cơ của Minsk là LMS 3.752 xuất hiện năm 1979 với trọng lượng nhẹ (55kg) và chuyên dụng cho các giải đua không chuyên nghiệp. Các loại động cơ do Minsk sản xuất còn được trang bị cho những chiếc go-kart trong giải vô địch USSR. Ngày nay, những loại động cơ này chỉ còn xuất hiện trong các giải đua không chuyên do sự có mặt của nhiều &#8220;hậu duệ&#8221; hiện đại hơn.</p>
<p>Những mẫu xe hiện đại</p>
<p><a href="http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/mm284/thanh_army/linh%20tinh/38261242371819.jpg"><img src="http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/mm284/thanh_army/linh%20tinh/38261242371819.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />
Phiên bản bốn thì mới trình làng</p>
<p>Trong suốt những năm 1980, nhà máy của Minsk đạt được sản lượng kỷ lục: 240.000 chiếc/năm. Sau khủng hoảng kinh tế hậu xã hội chủ nghĩa, con số đó dừng lại ở mức khiêm tốn 40.000 chiếc/năm. Từ lúc thành lập, tổng số sản phẩm xuất xưởng lên đến 6.000.000 chiếc mô-tô và 20.000.000 chiếc xe đạp. &#8220;Ngôi sao&#8221; Aist (hay còn gọi là Sputnik hoặc Lider với những phiên bản khác nhau) đã được nâng cấp với thân xe bằng sợi thủy tinh và một vài cải tiến khác (như hệ thống tra dầu tự động). Thậm chí, nhiều phiên bản còn được trang bị kính chắn gió. Đến thời điểm này, những chiếc xe mang nhãn hiệu Minsk vẫn rất thịnh hành tại Nga và nhiều nước khác. Thậm chí, tại Việt Nam còn có hẳn một câu lạc bộ Minsk với website riêng do một người Anh làm chủ. Mới đây, Minsk vừa công bố một phiên bản bốn thì hoàn toàn mới ứng dụng động cơ sản xuất tại Trung Quốc.</p>
<p>*************************************************</p>
<p>Nhân anh em bàn về anh bạn cũ Minsk của VND cũng ngồi tìm tòi và viết một chút. Cậy còn sót mấy chữ Nga cộng với mấy chữ tiếng Anh vụn xin được tóm tắt từ một số trang web ra đây chia xẻ với những người đã từng coi xe Minsk như một người bạn<br />
Nhà máy sản xuất xe Minsk đầu tiên tại nhà máy sản xuất mô tô Московский Мотоциклетний Завод &#8211; (ММЗ) viết tắt bằng chữ la tinh MMZ. Nhà máy này nằm tại Mát-xcơ-va bắt đầu sản xuất sản xuất những chiếc xe M-71</p>

<p>Trong chiến tranh thế giới thứ 2 nhà máy này chuyển về Irbit (Ирбит) một thị trấn vùng Ural và dổi tên thành nhà máy &#8220;IMZ&#8221; (ИМЗ) hay Irbitskiy Mototsikletniy Zavod (Ирбитский Мотоциклетний Завод) sau này sản xuất dòng xe Ural nổi tiếng ( số phận các nhà máy Nga sản xuất xe 3 bánh sidecar cúng khá long đong khi rỗi có thể tập hợp thêm).

VND có quen mấy đại gia từ Nga về những năm 1990 họ duy trì nhà máy lắp xe minsk ở Việt nam đến giữa những năm 1990 thì dùng. Nhưng những tay lang thang người nước ngoài ở Hà nội đã khoác cho xe MInsk hình ảnh tên bụi đời và các bác nông dân miền núi đã đem vào xe Minsk cái lam lũ, cần mẫn trong cuộc mưu sinh. Đến nay xe Minsk đã trở thành một thú chơi âu cúng là đền đáp cho một dòng xe với quá khứ vẻ vang của mình</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>45 minutes in and we&#8217;re leading this one 1-0! Blanco scored a penalty (certainly the correct call) to put us up and we now are in a great position and the win is definately possible.</p>
<p>Conditions are terrible in Minsk. It is extremely cold (near zero degrees celcius) and the pitch is extremely wet. Our players are sliding all over the place, which doesnt help players like Scocco.</p>
<p>We&#8217;re playing a very good game, compared to what we saw over the weekend. Our players are fighting hard, winning every ball, and are clearly in this for the win and nothing less. We&#8217;re working well together as a whole with pretty much everyone playing a role.</p>
<p>Our starting lineup was Saja, Jahic, Arce, Majstorovic, Juanfran, Kafes, Nsaliwa, Scocco, Nemeth, Blanco, and Manduca. Everyone is playing quite well, including Juanfran, but I really must point out Nsaliwa in particular. He hasn&#8217;t played in a while but he is playing extremely well at the moment. His tackles are incredible, ball control, through balls, he&#8217;s playing great generally. Nemeth is also playing well and had some great chances.</p>
<p>We are dominating possession and had many good chances. We have been caught on the counter attacks a couple of times and have given up some dangerous free kicks at times, but we&#8217;re holding on.</p>
<p>Now, time for the second half!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>By the time you read this I will probably be underwater. Hopefully eating a croissant.</p>
<p>The tax that will take us to the train that will take us away under the sea and off to Lille is due in five and a half hours. If I didn&#8217;t have to book some last-minute travel insurance (lost E111- silly papa) I would not even be online.</p>
<p>I am, frankly, terrified. Having been travelling abroad alone for nearly 20 years, sometimes with a pathetic lack of planning, suddenly I am scared that I will not cope, that it will all go wrong somehow.</p>
<p>I am being stupid, I know &#8211; and it&#8217;s Lille, not Minsk. (Please, never go to Minsk ifyou can help it, even if you don&#8217;t have a child with you.) And I do speak the language (not that that improved Minsk.) What&#8217;s the worst that can happen?</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll let you know next time.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>WHY YOU SHOULD CARE</p>
<p>Since 2002 Minsk have built 10-minute-plus psychedelic doom epics out of tribal rhythms and sprawling melodies. Their bassist, Sanford Parker (late of Buried at Sea), has not only recorded each of the group&#8217;s major releases but also made a name for himself <a href="http://vivale.wordpress.com/">producing</a> the likes of Nachtmys-tium. Pelican, and Brutal Truth. Still, despite Parker&#8217;s presence behind the mixing boards, frontman Christopher Bennett says Minsk&#8217;s third full-length, With Echoes in the Move­ment of Stone (Relapse), was a collaboration. &#8220;I think that&#8217;s why we work well,&#8221; he says. &#8220;The rest of us work on the really basic struc­tures of the <a href="http://likecinema.net/video/?filter_t=3">songs</a>, and Sanford makes them into what they are in the end.&#8221;<!--more--></p>
<p>D OPPORTUNITIES</p>
<p>Although the Peoria, llli-hois-Based Dan3 jiist returned from its first-ever European tour, during which it played such far­away towns as Olomouc, Czech Republic, and Oberentfelden, Switzerland, Minsk didn&#8217;t make it to its namesake city in Belarus. &#8220;We inquired with the guy who booked our tour about <a href="http://likecinema.net/Tops/">play­ing</a> in Minsk, but he just thought the political situation was not conducive to us playing there now,&#8221; Bennett laments. &#8220;He said there was a good chance we might &#8216;lose&#8217; some equipment or something because it would be obvious we were foreigners.&#8221;</p>
<p>Proud of their reputation as fearless road dogs —after <a href="http://likecinema.net/">playing</a> only five hometown shows, Minsk went on tour in 2003 and haven&#8217;t <a href="http://vivale.wordpress.com/2009/10/10/rock-your-world/">looked back</a>—the bandmates cite only one gig that made them sweat bullets: <a href="http://likecinema.net/video/?filter_t=1">opening</a> for their idols Neurosis in November 2007. &#8220;[Neurosis vocalist-guitarist] Scott Kelly came to our show in Ashland, Oregon, and gave us some good feedback, but we were still surprised to be asked to play with them,&#8221; Bennett remembers. &#8220;And of course we said yes. It&#8217;s not like [we'd tell them], &#8216;No, I don&#8217;t know. I think there&#8217;s another show I wanted to go to that night.&#8217;&#8221;</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-672" title="UNS_CD_Cover" src="http://earconditioning.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/uns_cd_cover.jpg" alt="UNS_CD_Cover" width="450" height="446" /></p>
<p>In 2007, a  gathering of like minds took place in Minsk, Belarus.  The occasion was Unsound Minsk and featured <strong>Pole</strong> along side local artists, and it must have been good as it gave birth to  collaborations between artists from Western Europe and Belarus. Alongside the aforementioned Pole, there is <strong>Pinch, Buben, Jacek Sienkiewicz &#38; Arciom Kaveluski, Minorscene, The National Fanfare of Kadebostany</strong>.  That&#8217;s right, I never heard of them either until now, and that&#8217;s the point.  I hadn&#8217;t heard of <strong>Flying Lotus</strong> or <strong>Parliament/Funkadelic</strong> until I did, get me?  You may have an idea what Pinch and Pole sound like, what about <a href="http://www.myspace.com/kassiantroyer" target="_blank">Kassian Troyer</a>?  His contribution would not be out of place on <strong>Chris Watson</strong> enviromental recording. Top dog!</p>
<p>The following tracks are available as a free download (proper quality too, not that 96kbps bullshit) and cd&#8217;s will also be given away at four events that are taking place about now in Krakow and Minsk.</p>
<p>See <a href="http://unsound.pl/en/general/news/show/launch-of-connections-cd-by-unsound-and-scape">here</a> for more information.</p>
<p>For this week&#8217;s radio program I&#8217;m dropping the album in it&#8217;s entirety, all backing it up with the following: contributions from <strong>Scalper</strong>, &#8216;Zero&#8217; (from his forthcoming debut album which I <a href="http://earconditioning.wordpress.com/2009/10/09/scalper/" target="_blank">mentioned</a> last week); &#8216;Simple&#8217; from the remastered Funcrusher Plus album by <strong>Company Flow</strong>, and a blast of South Africa&#8217;s hip hop crew <strong>Basemental Platform</strong>, their sound was very left-field like Co-Flow, disjointed beats somehow fitting together in a mind-bending kinda way. I lost the album that I had, but luckily I have two tracks burned on a cd. So that&#8217;s the radio program sorted for this week.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Uzun zamandır Ortadoğu&#8217;nun sıcak coğrafyasında dolaşırken birşeyin farkına vardım: Karlı havay]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-39" title="minsk1" src="http://bekri.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/minsk1.jpg?w=300" alt="minsk1" width="300" height="191" />Uzun zamandır Ortadoğu&#8217;nun sıcak coğrafyasında dolaşırken birşeyin farkına vardım: Karlı havayı özlemişim. İstanbul&#8217;da yaşadığımdan ve her kış İstanbul&#8217;a kar yağmadığından dolayı doya doya kar yağışını seyretme imkanım yoktu. Başka illerimizde kar yağıyor olabilirdi ama bunun için de Erzurum&#8217;a gitmek istemiyordum. Kayaktan da anlamıyordum. Tam da böyle düşündüğüm günlerin birinde Beyaz Rusya&#8217;da yaşayan bir arkadaşım beni ülkesine davet ettiğinde hiç düşünmeden kabul ettim.<!--more-->Beyaz Rusya veya dünyada bilinen adıyla Belarus&#8217;a -ki Rusça&#8217;da yine Beyaz Rusya anlamına geliyor- vize almak, çoğu ülkeye vize almaktan daha uzun bir süre istiyor. Normal şartlarda 10 günü bulan vize alma süreci, biraz daha fazla ödeme yapıldığında en erken 4 güne inebiliyor.200 Amerikan Doları karşılığında aldığım &#8220;ekspres vize&#8221;nin üzerinde bedelinin 35 Amerikan Doları olduğu yazıyordu. Aradaki farkın nereye gittiğini tahmin etmek güç değil herhalde.</p>
<p>THY&#8217;nin tarifeli uçağı ile başkent Minsk&#8217;e ulaşım süresi tam 2 saat. Haftanın 4 günü THY seferlerinin olduğu Minsk, Avrupa&#8217;nın önemli kültür başkentlerinden biri. Özellikle müzik okullarının oldukça fazla olduğu şehirde dikkati çeken bir sakinlik hakim. Büyük şehir olmasına rağmen bir kasaba sakinliğinde Minsk.</p>
<p>Her neyse, Minsk Havalimanı&#8217;na indiğimde her zamanki gibi havalimanından ülkenin zenginliği hakkında ister istemez yorum yapmaya başladım. Havalimanı eski ve küçüktü. Bu mantıkla Belarus&#8217;un zengin bir ülke olmadığı önyargısıyla pasaport kontrolüne doğru adımlarımı hızlandırıyordum. Gerçekten de eski komünist rejim zamanından bu yana herhangi ciddi bir değişimin olmadığı bir ülke Belarus. Rusya ile ilişkileri hala neredeyse SSCB zamanındaki gibi olan bu ülkenin insanları çok iyi niyetli ve kibarlar. Pasaport kontrolüne girdiğinizde görevli memurun bakışları ve kontrol sürecinin uzun olması nedeniyle biraz soğuk bir hava esse de, benim Beyaz Ruslar ile ilgili düşüncelerim çok iyi oldu.</p>
<p>Havalimanından dışarı çıktığımda yüzüme çarpan o eksi 6 sıcaklığındaki acı soğuk, nedense bana Dubai akşamlarında yüzüme çarpan serinliği hatırlatıyordu. O gün soğuğun tadını çıkardım çıkarmasına fakat ertesi günlerde kendimi sıcak bir ortama atmak için her türlü fırsatı da değerlendirdim. Şubat ayında bazı geceler eksi 20 dereceyi rahatlıkla gören Minsk&#8217;in caddelerinde dolaşmak için çok geçerli bir sebebin olması gerektiğini düşünmeme rağmen, caddeler hep insanlarla doluydu.</p>
<p>Şehir merkezinin 50 km uzağında bulunan havalimanından şehre doğru taksi ile yol alırken gördüğüm otoyollar, Minsk&#8217;in düşündüğümden daha iyi durumda olduğunu anlatmaya çalışıyor gibiydi. Merkeze vardığımda, belki şimdilerde değil ama bundan 20 yıl önce Minsk&#8217;in ne kadar gelişmiş bir şehir olduğunu anlamaya başlamıştım. Yanlamasına uzun 20-30 katlı binalar şehrin çoğu bölgesinde hakimiyetini sürdürüyordu. Fakat binaların dıştan bakıldığında bana verdiği o soğukluk hissi, belki de yıllarca dünyaya kötü propagandası yapılan demir perde ideolojisinin bir yansımasıydı.</p>
<p>Şu ana kadar Ortadoğu&#8217;da bulunduğum ülkelerin aksine, Minsk&#8217;te metro hattı vardı ve tabii ki yurtdışında ilk kez metroya binmek için bu fırsatı değerlendirdim. Mogilevskaya, Puşkinskaya gibi sonu sürekli &#8220;kaya&#8221; ile biten istasyonları teker teker bitirdim. Minsk metrosunun, İstanbul metrosu ile bazı benzerlikleri var. Mesela, tıpkı İstanbul&#8217;da, Otogar istasyonunda olduğu gibi aktarma yapılan metro istasyonu mevcut. Diğer bir benzerlik ise, metro merdivenlerinden yukarı çıktıktan sonra caddeye uzanan pasajların neredeyse Aksaray metro istasyonu ile aynı olması.</p>
<p>Minsk&#8217;te dikkatimi çeken bir başka noktaysa, şehirde bizim bildiğimiz türden alışveriş merkezlerinin olmaması. Yani bizim İstanbul&#8217;umuzda mevcut olan Galleria, Akmerkez vs. gibi alışveriş merkezleri yok. Bunların yerine, daha ilk alışveriş merkezleri açılmadan önceki zamanlarda revaçta olan Aksaray Yeraltı Çarşısı gibi alışveriş alanları mevcut.</p>
<p>Belarus&#8217;ta kaldığım 4-5 günde 2 ayrı şehirde bulundum. Biri Minsk, diğeri ise Mogilev. Mogilev, Minsk ile kıyaslanamayacak kadar sakin bir şehir. 100 bin civarında bir nüfusu var. Fakat bu nüfusa yolda giderken inanmak mümkün değil. Çok az sayıda insan yaşıyormuş gibi görünüyor şehir. Tramvay ve otobüslerin toplu taşıma aracı olduğu bu şehri daha yakından solumak için hem tramwaya hem de otobüse bindim. Tıpkı İstanbul&#8217;daki gibi ayakta yolculuk ettim kalabalık otobüslerde. Dışarıdaki soğuğun aksine içerideki o sıcaklığın etkisiyle, camlarda oluşan buğunun geniş bir kutuya çevirdiği otobüsten inmek istemedim. Yabancı olduğumu ilk saniyede anlayan kalabalığın gözü sürekli üzerimde oluyordu yol boyunca.</p>
<p>Mogilev, Minsk&#8217;ten ikibuçuk saatlik uzaklıkta bulunan ve özellikle müzik okullarının, tiyatroların ve sinemaların çokça olduğu bir şehir. Meydanlarında bolca demirden yapılmış enteresan heykellerin boy gösterdiği Mogilev&#8217;in sakinliği beni oldukça cezbetti. Gençlerin uğrak yerleri olan kafelere her adım başında rastlamak mümkün. Yoğun kar yağışının olduğu bir günde gittiğim küçük kafeteryadan  dışarısını seyrederken inanın o sıcak kafeden ayrılmak istemedim. Daha sonraki günlerde de gittiğim her kafenin ayrı bir teması vardı. Benim tercihim Da Vinci Kafe&#8217;den yana oldu çoğunlukla.</p>
<p>Bizim İstiklal Caddesi&#8217;nin daha sakin ve kısa bir versiyonu olan Leninskaya Caddesi üzerinde müzik okullarına, döviz bürolarına, bankalara ve tabi ki kafelere rastlamak mümkün Mogilev&#8217;de. Kar yağışı altında, parlak sarı ışıkların aydınlattığı caddede yürümek de yapmak istediklerimden oldu kaldığım süre boyunca.</p>
<p>Gecenin ilerleyen vakitlerinde dahi güvenle hareket edilebilecek bir ülke olan Belarus&#8217;taki bana göre tek tehlike, çokça alkol alan gençlerin pusulayı kaybetme ihtimalleri. Gençlerin çoğu özellikle akşamları ellerinde bira şişeleriyle hem dolaşıyor hem muhabbet ediyorlar. Bizim ülkemizde pek rastlamadığımdan dolayı olsa gerek biraz tedirgin oldum bu manzara karşısında.</p>
<p>Ortadoğu sıcağından sıkılmış biri olmam sebebiyle, bu kısacık Beyaz Rusya seyahatimi oldukça memnun kalmış bir şekilde bitirirken, soğuk hava yüzünden gezemediğim yerleri, bahar aylarında gezmek umudunu taşıyordum.</p>

<description><![CDATA[La récente décision de Moscou d&#8217;annuler les crédits en faveur de Kiev et Minsk pourrait être m]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:center;"><strong><em><img class="aligncenter" title="La visite du ministre serbe des affaires étrangères est synonyme de bonnes nouvelles pour Belgrade" src="http://www.webnovinar.org/dragan/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/vuk-jeremic.jpg" alt="" width="540" height="300" /></em></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong><em>La récente décision de Moscou d&#8217;annuler les crédits en faveur de Kiev et Minsk pourrait être motivée par un projet de soutien à l&#8217;économie serbe. Le gouvernement de Vladimir Poutine vient en effet d&#8217;annoncer qu&#8217;une somme approchant le milliard de dollars allait être injectée dans les finances de Belgrade. Lutter contre la crise et renflouer un pays allié, telle serait l&#8217;ambition du Kremlin.</em></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">L&#8217;agence de presse Interfax relayait lundi les déclarations du ministre de l&#8217;économie russe Alexeï Koudrine. Lors d&#8217;un déplacement à Istanbul (Turquie), celui-ci affirmait qu&#8217;un crédit serait bientôt accordé à la Serbie. Si les modalités et le montant du crédit restent à déterminer, il a précisé que ce prêt allait servir à couvrir le déficit budgétaire serbe à hauteur de 350 millions de dollars et que le reste serait investi dans des infrastructures, notamment le métro et le périphérique de Belgrade.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Cette décision intervient au coeur d&#8217;une visite du ministre serbe des affaires étrangères à Moscou. Vuk Jeremic doit rencontre son homologue Serguei Lavrov et préparer la venue du Président Dmitri Medvedev à Belgrade. En marge de ces préparatifs protocolaires, il s&#8217;est dit confiant quant à l&#8217;aboutissement de ce transfert de fonds. &#8221;Nous nous attendons à une réponse positive de Moscou. Lors de la visite du président Medvedev, nous discuterons des formes concrètes pour mettre en oeuvre ce soutien, notamment en ce qui concerne des investissements dans les infrastructures de Serbie&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Le geste de Moscou est éminemment politisé. Face à la fronde (si faible soit-elle) menée par Alexandre Loukachenko, la Russie répond en accordant ses bonnes grâces aux amis fidèles. Aux pressions exercées via le réseau tentaculaire de Gazprom se sont sustitués des accords et des soutiens financiers. Le gouvernement russe prêchait d&#8217;ailleurs récemment sa cause et sa volonté d&#8217;indépendance et distinguant clairement ce qui correspond aux objectifs russes auprès du FMI; une manière d&#8217;affirmer que Moscou restait libre de ses choix dans l&#8217;attribution ou le retrait d&#8217;une aide à un pays tiers.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Loin d&#8217;être une simple économie ou la sanction inévitable à l&#8217;encontre du Président biélorusse Loukachenko, l&#8217;annulation de l&#8217;octroi de 500 millions de dollars à Minsk devait finalement annoncer d&#8217;autres mouvements. Mais au delà d&#8217;une décision financière, le Kremlin délivre un message clair à ses alliés ainsi qu&#8217;à son proche étranger. En temps de crise comme en temps de prospérité, la Russie reste un partenaire financier incontournable et gare aux imprudents tels qu&#8217;Alexandre Loukachenko.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Ronald Steven Federici has often been described as “a leading expert in the neuropsychological evaluation and treatment of children having multi-sensory neurodevelopmental impairments.”</p>
<p>He is best described as a “developmental neuropsychologist,” specializing in the treatment of “institutional autism” (which he also calls “post-traumatic autism,” or “post-institutional autistic syndrome”).</p>
<p>Dr. Federici is licensed by the Virginia Board, and is the holder of a Psy. D. degree.</p>
<p>Dr. Ronald Federici is the author of “Help for the Hopeless Child: A Guide for Families, With Special Discussion for Assessing and Treating the Post-Institutionalized Child” and is the founder of Neuropsychological and Family Practice Associates, in McLean, Virginia.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>I finally checked on the website of the <a href="http://www.belta.by/en/news/society?id=406267">Belarusian Telegraph Agency</a> (BelTA) and the city of <a href="http://www.minsk.gov.by/aktual/miss_intercontinental_2009_eng.shtml">Minsk</a> and found updates on the ongoing Miss Intercontinental 2009 they are hosting. There&#8217;s really not much to source from the net &#8211; be it images or bits of news &#8211; but I was still able to gather the following:</p>
<div id="attachment_1540" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 460px"><img src="http://normannorman.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/candidates21.jpg" alt="Miss Intercontinental 2009 Candidates in Belarus" title="candidates2" width="450" height="300" class="size-full wp-image-1540" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Miss Intercontinental 2009 Candidates in Belarus</p></div>
<p>From the <a href="http://www.minsk.gov.by/aktual/miss_intercontinental_2009_eng.shtml">Minsk City Executive Committee</a>, here&#8217;s the press release:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>MISS INTERCONTINENTAL 2009</strong></p>
<p>THE MISS INTERCONTINENTAL 2009 beauty pageant will take place in Minsk. The most beautiful girls from all over the world will come to Minsk on 10-13 September. Shortly after the arrival of the beauties a tour around Belarus will be organized for the participants of the contest. The final of the MISS INTERCONTINENTAL 2009 will take place in Minsk on September, 27, 2009.</p>
<p>The MISS INTERCONTINENTAL contest, which started off in 1971, is in the top five of the most prestigious beauty competitions in the world. The challenge prize – a crown made of platinum with 720 diamonds, worth about $361 thousand, is thought to be the most expensive crown of all beauty pageants. </p>
<p>The MISS INTERCONTINENTAL 2009 contest will take place in a hall for 4,000 spectators with a big stage and the most modern stage, light and sound equipment. The presentation and broadcasting of the Final will be accomplished in Russian and English. </p>
<p>Belarusian pop stars Dmitry and Georgy Koldun and 2006’s &#8220;Supermodel of the World&#8221; Ekaterina Domankova will be the MISS INTERCONTINENTAL 2009 show presenters. </p>

<p>On the other hand, the BelTA National Source of News reports:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Miss Intercontinental 2009 final to be host by Koldun brothers</strong></p>
<p>Dmitry Koldun and Georgy Koldun will host the Miss Intercontinental 2009 final on 27 September, BelTA learnt from Alina Provotorova, spokeswoman for ONT TV Channel.</p>
<p>Initially, ONT TV Channel asked Alexander Rybak, winner of Eurovision 2009, to host the international beauty contest. However, the singer declined the offer. </p>
<p>The two brothers will share the stage with the Belarusian beauty Ekaterina Domankova, winner of the Supermodel of the World 2006 contest.</p>
<p>The script of the show is underway. It will be sent to the World Beauty Organization soon.</p>
<p>Apart from the beautiful girls from 60 countries, the show will be attended by the Eurovision 2008 and 2009 winners Dima Bilan and Alexander Rybak, Arash and Aysel, F.R.David from France and Morandi from Romania. </p>
<p>The name of the Belarusian representative at the contest is still unknown. “It is a very prestigious contest, which will be aired to all the countries of the world. It is important that a Belarus&#8217; representative not only take part in the contest, but also impress the jury. That is why we should find a girl who will attract attention. That is why the jury is so meticulous,” Alina Provotorova noted.</p></blockquote>
<p>Finally, the Official Site of Miss Intercontinental has this update:</p>

<blockquote><p><strong>Just A Few Days To Go</strong></p>
<p>Back to Minsk, we just have a few days to go to the Grand Finale of Miss Intercontinental 2009 in the Football. 250 Journalists from around the world will attend the show which is to be seen worldwide via Satellite and on air in over 32 countries.</p>
<p>After the show, all candidates will have a &#8220;meet and greet&#8221; with Belarus President Alexander Lukaschenko.</p>
<p>The stage is ready to set and Rehearsals are beginning.</p></blockquote>

<p>Who will win the 38th edition of Miss Intercontinental? I cannot even hazard a guess at the moment, but let&#8217;s hope that Miss Philippines &#8211; Fil-German beauty Jacqueline Schubert &#8211; will figure out well in the finals this coming Sunday, September 27. The group shots of the candidates above were taken from a distance so it&#8217;s hard spotting our bet even after some major eye-squinting. Anyways, the finals will take place in front of a crowd of 4,000 at the National School of Beauty in Minsk, Belarus. </p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:center;"> </p>
<h1>Cafe/Club* Tovarisch (Comrade) in Minsk, Belarus</h1>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://identitychef.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/img_1529.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-304 aligncenter" title="Tovarish Minsk USSR" src="http://identitychef.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/img_1529.jpg" alt="IMG_1529" width="224" height="231" /></a> </p>
<p>Anyone nostalgic for the great Soviet State, or those that didn&#8217;t catch the wave the first time around will definitely enjoy this place&#8217;s concept. All is done to submerge you into that far away era, except the service, which is immaculate!</p>
<p>As you go down the stairs to enter you handshake with the doorknob &#38; are greeted by a Huge hammer &#38; sickle installation with a USSR map backdrop. The spacious dining room fully re-enacts the interior &#38; setting of typical  a Soviet restaurant starting from the music down to the knife &#38; fork. </p>
<p style="text-align:center;">  <a href="http://identitychef.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/img_1545.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-298" title="Tovarish Minsk Door Handle" src="http://identitychef.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/img_1545.jpg" alt="IMG_1545" width="258" height="213" /></a><a href="http://identitychef.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/img_1538.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-297" title="Tovarish Minsk Belarus Map" src="http://identitychef.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/img_1538.jpg" alt="IMG_1538" width="300" height="225" /></a><a href="http://identitychef.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/img_1533.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-296" title="Tovarish Minsk Hammer &#38; Sickle and USSR map" src="http://identitychef.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/img_1533.jpg" alt="IMG_1533" width="300" height="225" /></a><a href="http://identitychef.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/img_1528.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-292" title="Tovarish Minsk Dining Area" src="http://identitychef.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/img_1528.jpg" alt="IMG_1528" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p> </p>
<p>And an alcove hides a bright red dance floor with an orchestra pit and a display of a huge variety of items Made in USSR.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://identitychef.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/img_15251.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-303" title="Tovarish Minsk &#34;Orchestra Pit&#34;" src="http://identitychef.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/img_15251.jpg" alt="IMG_1525" width="279" height="209" /></a><a href="http://identitychef.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/img_15231.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-302" title="Tovarish Minsk &#34;made in USSR&#34; exhibit" src="http://identitychef.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/img_15231.jpg" alt="IMG_1523" width="349" height="222" /></a></p>
<p>Upon further rummaging you will also find the endlessly creative bathrooms decorated with Soviet newspaper &#38; lampshades in the forms of giant flies.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://identitychef.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/img_1530.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-293" title="Tovarish Minsk Bathroom Ceiling" src="http://identitychef.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/img_1530.jpg" alt="IMG_1530" width="300" height="225" /></a><a href="http://identitychef.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/img_15311.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-305" title="Tovarish Minsk Bathrooms" src="http://identitychef.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/img_15311.jpg" alt="IMG_1531" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>Once you have finished you meal, you can write an Anonimka** and comment on the food.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"> <a href="http://identitychef.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/img_1532.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-295 aligncenter" title="Tovarish Minsk Anonimki Box" src="http://identitychef.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/img_1532.jpg" alt="IMG_1532" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>The food is sumptuous and really affordable ( as most places in Minsk) a 2 course meal for 2.5 cost us around 25 USD. Sorry we didn&#8217;t take photos of teh food which we gobbled on too fast!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Even the restaurant&#8217;s business cards enhance the restaurant&#8217;s brand through the Soviet emblem &#38; the traditional typography.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://identitychef.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/scan0110.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-301" title="Tovarish Minsk Business Card Back" src="http://identitychef.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/scan0110.jpg" alt="scan0110" width="300" height="166" /></a><a href="http://identitychef.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/scan0109.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-299" title="Tovarish Minsk Business Card Font" src="http://identitychef.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/scan0109.jpg" alt="scan0109" width="312" height="166" /></a></p>
<p>And their giveaway calendars forewarn in the Communist style: <em>Have you been to Cafe Tovarisch?</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://identitychef.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/scan0109q.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-300 aligncenter" title="Tovarish Minsk- Promo Calendar - Have you been to Cafe Tovarish" src="http://identitychef.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/scan0109q.jpg" alt="scan0109q" width="254" height="350" /></a></p>
<p> </p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>What are your favorite themed restaurants?</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>*Well it is actually a restaurant, but in Belarus there&#8217;s a huge tax &#38; licensing difference between cafes &#38; restaurants</p>
<p>** In the Soviet times people would anonymously snitch on each other to the authorities, this was called an &#8220;anonimka&#8221;</p>
