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.

related.

Everyone knows Loomis invented the radio.

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.

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.
