Title translates as “Yearbook ‘Progress’: A Journal for Literature Science and Criticism.” “Abraham Reisen was a Yiddish poet short-story writer playwright and editor…While he was still a teenager his talent was recognized by Shalom Aleichem and I.L. Peretz who arranged for the publication of his earliest poems. After some years in Minsk Warsaw Krakow and Berlin he settled permanently in New York in 1914. Influenced by Heinrich Heine whom he translated into Yiddish he was one of the first Yiddish poets to make use of folksong material. His poetry though mostly written in conventional quatrains is suffused by a refined sensibility that adumbrates the writing of Di Yunge.” Jewish Virtual Library ”In 1900 Yakov Lidski founded "Progress" publishing house. Its name clearly communicated its goal. This publishing company considered to be the first to deal with modern Yiddish literature published a series of original and translated popular science books along with translated European literature and original Yiddish literature.

En la Memoria Albear realizó un estudio de los antecedentes y las posibilidades de aprovechamiento de los acueductos anteriores efectuó un cálculo de la dotación de agua para la ciudad valoró las dificultades para lograr la obra de captación en Vento y propuso el trazado del canal hasta el depósito. Atendiendo a la extraordinaria complejidad de la obra y a las dificultades de su ejecución en el convulso período de la >Guerra de los diez años Albear elaboró y presentó en 1876 dos nuevos documentos: la "Memoria del Proyecto de depósito de recepción y de distribución de las obras del Canal de Vento" y la "Memoria del Proyecto de la distribución del agua de Vento en La Habana". En la primera valoraba los aspectos relativos a la ubicación altura capacidad y dimensiones del depósito así como otros aspectos tecnológicos; mientras que en la segunda se argumentaban las condiciones requeridas para un buen sistema de distribución dividido en dos partes interior y exterior así como las particularidades y aportes de cada una de ellas. La inauguración del Acueducto de Albear denominado finalmente así tras la muerte de su artífice el 22 de octubre de 1887 no ocurriría hasta seis años más tarde el 23 de enero de 1893 en medio de condiciones políticas y económicas sumamente adversas plagadas de dificultades no sólo topográficas y tecnológicas sino incluso higiénicas en momentos en que las llamadas "fiebres de Vento" diezmaban a sus constructores. La etapa final de las obras a cargo de la firma Runkle Smith and Co. de Nueva York y encabezada por el ingeniero Sherman Gould por la parte norteamericana fue dirigida de acuerdo con los proyectos originales por un discípulo y continuador de Albear el coronel de ingenieros >Joaquín Ruiz. No obstante su artífice llegó a tener en vida la satisfacción de ver su proyecto premiado con Medalla de Oro en la Exposición Universal de >París de 1878 donde se la consideró como una obra maestra de la ingeniería del siglo XIX.

Radiation and its Victims--A Chronological Table. Publisher's ephemera laid in. Foreword by Robert J. Lifton. Introduction by Ogata Yukio. Appendix. DJ has slight wear and soiling. Some pages are 'off white'. A team of journalists from the Hiroshima-based newspaper interview victims exposed to radiation investigate environmental dangers and appeal for an end to nuclear testing. The Chugoku Shimbun "Midland News" is a Japanese local daily newspaper based in Hiroshima. It serves the Ch goku region of Japan with a market share in Hiroshima Yamaguchi Shimane Okayama and Tottori Prefectures. The newspaper publishes morning and evening editions. The morning paper has a daily circulation of 646900. And the evening paper has a daily circulation of 40600. The Daily Chugoku was established on May 5 1892 in Hiroshima and was founded by its editor Saburo Yamamoto. In 1908 the newspaper changed its name to The Chugoku Shimbun which translates to "Middle Country Newspaper" geographically Hiroshima is near the center of the Japanese archipelago. The A-Bomb on August 6 1945 killed 113 newspaper employees and destroyed the building and equipment. The newspaper restarted publishing on August 9 by asking other newspapers for help. Derived from a Publisher's Weekly article: A year-long study led a team of Japanese journalists to conclude that nuclear testing refining and power plants continue to contaminate human beings and create more hibakusha radiation victims. First published as a series of articles in a Hiroshima newspaper in 1989-1990 this impressive in-depth report details nuclear contamination's appalling toll: the still-lethal effects of the 1986 Chernobyl disaster; the destruction British French and Japanese nuclear tests and refineries have caused in the South Pacific; the danger the ongoing development of nuclear power for ``peaceful'' uses poses to the planet and its inhabitants. The authors cite New Mexican and Nambian villagers whose homes were irradiated by uranium mining and fishermen in India who became ill as a result of their proximity to the nation's ``radiation coast'' on the Arabian Sea and to the Tarapur Nuclear Complex reputedly ``the dirtiest nuclear facility in the world.'' Although national and international scientific research groups show increasing awareness of the need for action especially concerning nuclear waste the authors call upon Japan to display even greater initiative in this area.
