[2006-09-15] The UK is introducing biometric capture into the visa application
The UK is introducing biometric capture into the visa application process to improve the security of the visa operation and to protect better the visa holder's identities. In the longer-term passage through the UK's border control will be easier with biometrically enabled visas. In order to achieve the full benefits of biometric capture as early as possible, we now need to limit the issue of long-term, ' non-biometric' visit visas. Therefore, with immediate effect, we will not be issuing any 10- year multiple entry visit visas. Applicants who have previously held 5 or 10 year visas will [...]

A seminarian in the US has launched what is believed to be the world's first dedicated matchmaking site for gay Christians. The site, GayHarmony.net, has been developed by 22 year old Justin R. Cannon for gay Christians looking for a life partner, friendship or even just a Bible study partner. "Most GLBTQ Christians are excluded from joining Christian personals sites, and gay and other personals sites aren’t structured to meet their specific needs. The growing gay Christian demographic deserves a welcoming safe place tailored just for us" explains Cannon. GayHarmony.net emerged out [...]

[2006-09-13] With malice aforeplay: 'Personals' replies outed online
At first glance, the posting looked like any number of Internet classified ads explicitly seeking sex. But instead of the 27-year-old woman with long brown hair who was advertised, a male, Seattle-area graphic designer collected the replies and posted them online -- with photos, names and contact information. Privacy experts say the case treads the line legally but crosses it morally. "It's a sad commentary overall," said Lauren Weinstein, a veteran computer scientist and privacy advocate. "It's one of those situations where both sides look bad. ... From an ethical standpoint, this isn't bra [...]

[2006-09-13] The “intelligentsia”
Beginning about 1860, Russian culture was dominated by a group known as the “intelligentsia,” a word that English borrowed from Russian but which means something rather different in its original Russian usage. In the word's narrow sense, the “intelligentsia” consisted of people who owed their primary allegiance not to their profession or class but to a group of men and women with whom they shared a common set of beliefs, including a fanatic faith in revolution, atheism, and materialism. They usually adopted a specific set of manners, customs, and sexual behaviour, primarily from their favour [...]

[2006-09-13] Russia after the monarchy
The following is a general overview of the history of Russia during the period of Soviet domination. For full coverage of the history of the Soviet Union, see the article Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. The February Revolution of 1917 was spontaneous, leaderless, and fueled by deep resentment over the economic and social conditions that had prevailed in imperial Russia under Tsar Nicholas. The country, having been sucked into World War I, found the strains of fighting a modern war with a premodern political and economic system intolerable. The tsar was well-meaning but fell short a [...]
[2006-09-13] Pravda- is the official organ of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union
former daily newspaper, published in Moscow and distributed nationwide, that was the official organ of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union from 1918 to 1991. Founded in 1912 in St. Petersburg as a workers daily, Pravda became an important organ of the Bolshevik movement. Vladimir Lenin exercised broad editorial control over the paper. It was repeatedly suppressed by the tsar's police, reappearing each time with a different name, until it finally emerged in Moscow in 1918 to assume its role as the official party paper. It retained this function until the demise of Communist power in the Sov [...]
[2006-09-12] Love Is Like A Garden
It is that wonderful time of year again, when my trees and flowers are all in full bloom and my vegetable garden is producing succulent (and giant) zucchini, sweet red and yellow peppers, tangy basil, oregano, fennel, parsley, juicy cantaloupe, watermelons, blueberries, strawberries, and grapes- and an interesting variety of cucumbers and beans. The pumpkins should be ready soon… This summer (like many summers past) has been a challenge to those of us who love to garden. The heat and humidity have broken records and the bugs seem to be growing in population and aggressiveness with every new [...]
[2006-09-12] The News On Love At First Sight
In the front section of The Washington Post, I read an interesting poll conducted by the Post on the percentage of people that believe in love at first sight- broken down by sex, age and political party, (very important here inside the beltway). When the people who were polled were asked this question, they responded with 47% yes, 51% no, and only 2% had no opinion. When asked if they had ever fallen in love at first sight the no responses were 18%, 28% said yes- and 51% said they “don’t believe.” I found it interesting that what people say they believe does not necessarily match up with thei [...]

[2006-09-12] Russian Immigrants in Bitter Battle To Represent Their Own in Albany
It's been a long time coming for the Russian-speaking immigrants in southern Brooklyn: Over the years they have built a community in Brighton Beach and Coney Island, but this generation's émigrés from the former Soviet Union have never sent one of their own to Albany. Now, Alec Brook-Krasny and Ari Kagan are battling to become the first. The two are running in the Democratic primary to replace the retiring assemblywoman in the 46th district, Adele Cohen. Today's winner is expected to take the November election easily in the heavily Democratic district. Despite their shared past as [...]
