Birth anniversary of radio inventor Popov marked in Russia
Wednesday, March 17, 2004
The 145th birth anniversary of radio inventor Alexander Popov is being marked in the Urals town of Krasnoturjinsk, where the great man was born, Itar-Tass reports on Tuesday from Yekaterinburg. Students of the local institute's radio department held a scientific conference devoted to the anniversary, while an excursion to the Popov House Museum was arranged for local schoolchildren, officials of the Krasnoturjinsk Department of Culture told Itar-Tass on Tuesday. The log house, where Popov had lived, was built in the 19th century. Furniture of those days, household utensils, and even Popov-made radio-receivers are now on view there. The graves of the radio inventor"s parents are in the town of Karpinsk (formerly Blagoslovsk), which is near to Kransoturjinsk. Popov"s father was dean of a local church. These places began to be visited by numerous tourists at the end of the nineties, when work was started to restore the abandoned church. Students of the Radio Department of the Urals Polytechnical Institute are taking care of the monument to Popov in centre of Yekaterinburg. They come there every spring to wash the monument and to polish the bronze statue of their great fellow-countryman. Source: agencies http://english.peopledaily.com.cn/20...7_137746.shtml |

In a March 1999 interview with Wolf Blitzer, Al Gore said, "During my
service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet." He didn't invent the radio.

Mike Gore was instrumental in getting Internet connections for schools and libraries. He never claimed to have 'invented' the Internet but his use of the word 'created' was unfortunate. -----= Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News =----- http://www.newsfeeds.com - The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! -----== Over 100,000 Newsgroups - 19 Different Servers! =----- |
