Zhanna Friske - Pilot / Жанна Фриске - Пилот (lyrics & translation)

Zhanna Friske - Pilot / Жанна Фриске - Пилот (lyrics & translation)Google Translate with interpretation. There was an interesting translation in this song. It took me a little while to understand it. "От винта" (Ot vinta) "from propeller" is a term used in aviation. If you are familiar with light planes, you know that when a pilot calls out "CLEAR!", they are about to start the engine. It's short for "Get clear of the propeller!". It appears "OT VINTA!" is the same type of term, short for "Get away from the propeller!". I found a number of cases where this song was titled "Пилот (от винта)", although not on Zhanna Friske's web page. That kind reminds me of a song with the title "Escape", but everybody knows it as "The Pina Colada song". You might have to be a little older to understand that reference. : ) I've always enjoyed aviation. Mankind's oldest dream, realized in the machine age. So whether it's "CLEAR!" or "OT VINTA!", let the flight begin!

Attorney and Progressive Civil Rights Leader: Arthur Kinoy Interview

Attorney and Progressive Civil Rights Leader: Arthur Kinoy InterviewArthur Kinoy (September 20, 1920-September 19, 2003), was an attorney and progressive civil rights leader who became a professor of law at the Rutgers School of Law—Newark. He was one of the founders of the Center for Constitutional Rights and successfully argued before the Supreme Court of the United States. Kinoy was born on September 29, 1920 in New York City. He is an alumnus of Harvard University (AB, 1941), where he graduated magna cum laude, and of Columbia University (LL.B., 1947). As a student at Harvard, Kinoy was a member of the national executive committee of the American Student Union. Kinoy was attorney for the United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers of America (UE), labeled a Communist-controlled union by the segregationist Mississippi Sen. James O. Eastland's Senate Internal Security Subcommittee (SISS). He took an active part in the defense of Ethel and Julius Rosenberg, who were executed on June 19, 1953, after conviction of atomic espionage. Kinoy made two last-minute efforts to save the Rosenbergs from execution. In the 1950s, he was associated with the law firm of Donner, Kinoy & Perlin, attorneys for such left-wing groups as the Committee for Justice for Morton Sobell and Labor Youth League. Kinoy was a member of the National Lawyers Guild, serving as national vice president in 1954.

Zhanna and Vera - The January Blizzard / Январская вьюга - (lyrics & translation)

Zhanna and Vera - The January Blizzard / Январская вьюга - (lyrics & translation)Google Translate with interpretation. I found this song, performed by Zhanna Friske and Vera Brezhneva, on what appears to be a variety or singing show from 2011. I later found the same song performed by Nina Brodskaya, possibly in 1973. The song strikes me as one of those pop music pieces that has enduring popularity.

Global Warming or a New Ice Age: Documentary Film

Global Warming or a New Ice Age: Documentary FilmGlobal cooling was a conjecture during the 1970s of imminent cooling of the Earth's surface and atmosphere along with a posited commencement of glaciation. This hypothesis had little support in the scientific community, but gained temporary popular attention due to a combination of a slight downward trend of temperatures from the 1940s to the early 1970s and press reports that did not accurately reflect the scientific understanding of ice age cycles. In contrast to the global cooling conjecture, the current scientific opinion on climate change is that the Earth has not durably cooled, but undergone global warming throughout the twentieth century. Concerns about nuclear winter arose in the early 1980s from several reports. Similar speculations have appeared over effects due to catastrophes such as asteroid impacts and massive volcanic eruptions. A prediction that massive oil well fires in Kuwait would cause significant effects on climate was quite incorrect. The idea of a global cooling as the result of global warming was already proposed in the 1990s. In 2003, the Office of Net Assessment at the United States Department of Defense was commissioned to produce a study on the likely and potential effects of a modern climate change, especially of a shutdown of thermohaline circulation. The study, conducted under ONA head Andrew Marshall, modelled its prospective climate change on the 8.2 kiloyear event, precisely because it was the middle alternative between the Younger Dryas <b>...</b>

Angolan Civil War Documentary Film

Angolan Civil War Documentary FilmThe Angolan Civil War was a major civil conflict in the Southern African state of Angola, beginning in 1975 and continuing, with some interludes, until 2002. The war began immediately after Angola became independent from Portugal in November 1975. Prior to this, a decolonization conflict had taken place in 1974--75, following the Angolan War of Independence. The Civil War was primarily a struggle for power between two former liberation movements, the People's Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA) and the National Union for the Total Independence of Angola (UNITA). At the same time, it served as a surrogate battleground for the Cold War, due to heavy intervention by major opposing powers such as the Soviet Union and the United States. Each organisation had different roots in the Angolan social fabric and mutually incompatible leaderships, despite their sharing the aim of ending colonial occupation. Although both the MPLA and UNITA had socialist leanings, for the purpose of mobilizing international support they posed as "Marxist-Leninist" and "anti-communist", respectively. A third movement, the National Front for the Liberation of Angola (FNLA), having fought the MPLA alongside UNITA during the war for independence and the decolonization conflict, played almost no role in the Civil War. Additionally, the Front for the Liberation of the Enclave of Cabinda (FLEC), an association of separatist militant groups, fought for the independence of the province of Cabinda from <b>...</b>

Zhanna Friske - Somewhere in the Summer / Где-то лето (lyrics & translation)

Zhanna Friske - Somewhere in the Summer / Где-то лето (lyrics & translation)Google Translate with interpretation. Since summer is upon us, let's translate a summer song. The third line contained a word that sent me to Wikipedia. From their site: "In Russian, "голубой" ("goluboj", azure or cyan) and "синий" ("sinij", blue or navy blue) are not two shades of the same color, but distinguished in the way red and pink are distinct colors in English." I found that interesting. A pleasant and happy little song. Enjoy.
