South African President Nelson Mandela

Just after the ominous apartheid and coming to power, South African President Nelson Mandela joined his former tormentors in the multiracial country that began to build. It says in the film Invictus, Clint Eastwood: I’m not interested in the past but the future. So instead of a vengeful bloodbath laid the foundation for the takeoff of a country that seemed impossible. are, in short, the plot of the Eastwood film. The story: how he managed the national rugby team, composed of white, were accepted as belonging to the once marginalized and repressed black majority.

Such a metaphor of harmony came just 15 years ago. And no one has claimed the retrospective punishment for the crimes of apartheid. Here, however, I just read a vitriolic article in the newspaper of largest circulation in Spain, demanding the punishment of crimes of the Franco regime, ie, events that occurred 70 years ago. However, the most grotesque of the matter is no open wounds licked it, however, other countries which prefer to spite fraternity have already forgotten. By the same author: Euro Pacific Precious Metals. No.

The worst thing is that here, too, was false, what is the step advocated by Mandela, the politician most important late twentieth century. Here was a political amnesty in 1977 were released in which people with horrible crimes of ETA murderers, for example, some of whom immediately turned to crime. But that was the price of forgetting, forgiveness and reconciliation. Continue at this point requiring unilateral vindications, is a most egregious blunder and injustice. a Enrique Arias Vega (Bilbao) is a Spanish journalist and economist.

Championships

It turns out that five foxes distance does not include all time, and only one minute out of 5. First, working first fox, a minute later she gave the baton to the 2nd, then a third, etc. After the 5th fox turned back on first. Moreover, the nature of the forest makes a noticeable distortion in the distribution radio waves, and therefore, the receiver does not always indicate exactly on the radio. Continuously listening to the signals “foxes,” the athlete tries to clarify where there is a “fox” and find it.

Now I understand why disguised transmitter was named after the cunning animal? Sometimes, directional radio sports confused with orienteering. But, despite the apparent similarities, they are completely different sports. As checkers and chess – a board one, but different shapes. Orienteering competitions are to visit vrisovannyh the map control points (CP). The winner is the one who spent searching for the required number of CP least time. Athlete-orienteers need help with maps, determine the fastest route from CP to CP, to monitor their position on a map their way through natural obstacles. And all this is on the run. The task of “fox hunter” much more difficult.

The fact that the “fox” the card is not applied. The athlete knows only the location of the start and finish. How do searches for “fox” athlete “hunter”? Here comes to the aid receiver-finder. Listening to signals “Fox” and turning the antenna, the athlete is looking for an azimuth to the transmitter. With the help of a compass and maps tablet line – “line”. The required “fox” would be where the bearings intersect at her. Orienteering and “Hunting” foxes “- it’s entertaining activities that develop a teenager not only speed, agility and endurance, but also the sharpness and mobility of mind. After the athlete has to decide on the move naitrudneyshie strategic and tactical goals, while not forgetting to monitor the situation on the air and your location. Clever “hunter” actually knows how to apply the radio waves as a direction finder and transmitter are designed in He is fluent in map and compass. “Hunting” foxes “- is not just a” fun “, as some believe. The sport competitions of different ranks. And it should be noted that students “Contour” show them excellent results. During his short story, “konturovtsy” won the Championships and six European championships only individual international medals, one gold. More awards were won in the team RF. Classes in “contour” gratuitous. Coaches support the MDGs, “Metallurg”, and DYUKFP “Saksor.” In seconding the strongest athletes in the competition helps the Department of Sport and the Samara region DOSAAF. But the main funds to purchase equipment and travel to competitions “konturovtsy” earn themselves. We organize a variety of physical culture and sports activities, implementing social projects, judged the competition. Held on “Contour” annual “Cup of Parks”, runs on hundreds of teenagers from Samara. Begin classes in sports radio direction finding better 11-12 years, but in the “Path” take the boys and girls and younger and older adults. No one considered unsound. It would be a desire to win, and a willingness to work to win.
