International Women’s Day In Russia
March 8th is International Women’s Day, a day celebrating the political, economic, and social achievements of women and a time when men throughout the world will honor the special women in their lives. Though the holiday is global, few people place as much importance on International Women’s Day as the citizens of Russia.
The History of International Women’s Day in Russia
In 1913, the women of Russia observed International Women’s Day for the first time. Female activists joined together to protest World War I and by 1914 women from other European countries added their voices to the protests in an expression of women’s solidarity.
These initial protests were only the beginning. On March 8, 1917, Russian women began striking “for bread and peace” in response to the deaths of over 2 million Russian soldiers in World War I. Their voices helped pave the way for the Czar’s abdication and the leaders that followed agreed to grant Russian women the right to vote. Russian feminist Alexandra Kollontai came to power in the following years and in addition to championing women’s rights and serving as the world’s first female ambassador, she also persuaded Lenin to declare International Women’s a Day a public holiday in the Soviet Union.
International Women’s Day Today
International Women’s Day is an official holiday in Russia and has been so since 1965. Banks, official businesses, and educational institutions all close and nearly everyone has the day off work. It is a day when friends, family, and coworkers celebrate together.
Though International Women’s Day started as a feminist holiday it is now more of a cross between St. Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day. Men honor women for their beauty, femininity, and mothering skills and present gifts of flowers, chocolate, perfume, makeup, etc. Breakfast in bed and a day’s respite from household chores are also treats women enjoy on this special day. Unlike Mother’s Day or Valentine’s Day, however, men honor all women on International Women’s Day. Every woman receives something special.
Although the holiday has gone from a celebration of women’s achievements to a celebration of women in general, International Women’s Day is still a significant holiday in Russia and its importance will continue for decades to come. On Monday, March 8th, Russian men and women and millions of other people around the world will mark this momentous day.

Specialized Aviation Service Operation $76.47 Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Specialized Aviation Service Operations (SASO) are defined by the Federal Aviation Administration as singleservice providers or special Fixed Based Operators performing less than full services. These types of companies differ from a full service FBO in that they typically offer only a specialized aeronautical service such as aircraft sales, flight training, aircraft maintenance, or avionics services for example.

Patterns, Meaningful Units and Specialized Discourses $120 This collection of papers explores some facets in the areas of Corpus Linguistics and Phraseology which have gone unnoticed so far. With the aid of a range of different corpora and new-generation software tools, the authors tackle specialized domains and discourse in specialized settings, utilizing some innovative approaches to the study of recurrent features and patterns in the languages of economics, history, linguistics, politics, and other fields. The papers critically examine contemporary discourses in which experts and laypersons are equally involved, showing that the spoken and written texts, selected from various specialized corpora, can be seen as collective memory banks. The series of reflections and specialized meanings uncovered in these texts are closely tied to particular sequences of patterned chunks in language and offer exciting insights into the inseparability of lexis and grammar. The contributions to this volume were previously published in International Journal of Corpus Linguistics 13:3 (2008). |

Researching Specialized Languages $143 The present collection of articles represents research efforts in the field of specialised languages, including the analysis of research articles in disciplines as diverse as Biomedicine and Computing, on the one hand, and overlapping disciplines such as in Social Sciences, on the other, all with high relevance to English for Academic Purposes, and English for specific Purposes. The volume offers empirical evidence obtained from corpus-based analyses of language, both from diachronic as well as synchronic perspectives, on topics such as the role of mother tongue in professional writing, the analysis of conference abstracts as a genre, or the analysis of visual data transfer. This collection addresses issues such as the implementation of lexicons for specialised language learning, and the development of ontologies to research language patterns. The volume thus provides a rich repertoire of research methodologies, in-depth analyses of specialised discourses, and the identification and discussion of relevant pedagogic issues. |

The Management of Police Specialized Tactical Units $49.95 Managerial responsibility of a SWAT team requires continuous research in the material area of long-term criminal trends as well as keeping abreast of the continuous legal and executive developments needed by decision-makers to oversee the work of police officers who respond to critical incidents. This second edition of the Management of Police Specialized Tactical Units represents a significant updating of many of the chapters from the previous edition. This book explains the steps for developing and maintaining a realistic, effective response to increasing levels of violent crime. It discusses the social and political matters that must be continuously defined, identified, and settled prior to the implementation of any substantive or procedural change in tactical policy. Legal and operational guidelines are provided that are needed by tactical leaders to develop and improve their leadership abilities and tactical success, thereby enhancing the tactical unit’s ability to safeguard the public. Several critical incidents and court cases have taken place within the last eight years, and these historical occurrences and legal decisions are presented in a very clear and logical manner as a guide for improving the delivery of police service. Of particular interest is the new material on how the range of activities assigned to tactical units has expanded dramatically over the past decade and how the law enforcement community has been forced to respond to its critics. Throughout the book, the authors emphasize that decision-makers must not only be organizational managers and administrators but they must also possess a firm grasp of all aspects of confrontation tactics and they must be effective leaders. |
