and Saxons who repeatedly invaded Britain, and with the Normans who lived

The National Programme Of Personnel Training.
The National Programme of Personnel Training corresponds to provisions
of the Decree of the Republic of Uzbekistan “On Education”, elaborated on
the basis of the analysis of national experience, proceeding from the world
achievements in the system of education and oriented on molding of new
staff generation with high common and professional culture, creative and
social activity, ability to orientate itself independently in socio-
political life, capable to put forward and solve perspective tasks.
The aim of the present programme is the fundamental reforming of
education system, elaboration of the national education system for training
of highly qualified personnel up to the level advance democratic states and
meeting the requirements of high spirit and morals.
The implementation of the aim demands the development of mutually
beneficial international collaboration in personnel training.
The international legal base for cooperation in for personnel training
is created, prior directions of international cooperation are being
realized, international education structures are developed, exchange of
scientific researches and teaching staff and students are widened. The base
for international recognition of national decree on education is prepared.
The activity of concerned Ministries and Departments, Embassies of
Uzbekistan for the sake of intensive attraction the direct and indirect
foreign investments for specialists training is intensified.
Revival of spiritual values and national self-consciousness.
No society can see its perspective without the development and
strengthening its spiritual potential, spiritual and moral values in
consciousness of people.
The cultural values of the nation, its spiritual heritage have been a
powerful source of spirituality for the peoples of the East during
millennia. In spite of rigid ideological pressure during a long period, the
people of Uzbekistan have managed to preserve their historical and cultural
values and their local traditions, that were carefully transferred from
generation to generation.
From the first days of our independence, the major problem, raised on
state policy level has been to revive that huge, invaluable spiritual and
cultural legacy that was formed by our ancestors during many centuries.
But we were aware that the simple deny of values of the former system
posed a danger of political and cultural extremism which did not imply any
creative programme. At the same time, spontaneous and thoughtless return to
the values, traditions and tenor of the past can lead to another extreme:
to the denial of modern life, to the denial of the necessity to modernize
the society.
Historical memory, restoration of an objective and truthful history of
the nation, native territory, territory of the state is given an extremely
important place in the revival and growth of national self-consciousness,
and if you agree also the national pride.
Historical experience, succession of traditions - all this should
become those values, on which new generations are brought up.
Static Electricity.
We shall give an account of the electrification of bodies in terms of
atomic structure. The atoms, normally containing equal numbers of electrons
and protons (units of negative and positive charges respectively), are
broken up, and electrons pass from one body to another, leaving the former
positively and the later negatively charged. This is not the normal
condition of matter, and at the first opportunity the positively charged
body acquires electrons and the negatively charged body expels electrons,
so as to recover the neutral state.
The Electric Current.
When a conductor joins two points of different potential, electricity
flows from one to the other along the conductor until the potentials are
equal.
This process is very rapid, and with good conductors is completed in a
fraction of a second. While it lasts, an electric current is said to flow
from one point to the other. By convention, the direction of the current is
said to be that from the higher to the lower potential, i. e. the direction
