Volunteerism
4. Nodar S. KikavaAbstract:
When Volunteers of America was founded in 1896, volunteerism derived from a military context and to “volunteer” one’s time in service to others was a full-time commitment. They volunteered their whole lives to help people in need. This included - not only volunteering their time - but also their hearts, their spirits and their professional prosperity. Today, Volunteers of Russia help million people through programs that are staffed by full-time, paid professionals who have adopted this same ideal of service as their full-time mission. However, that does not mean that they do not also depend on an army of modern-day “volunteers” who offer their free time to support volunteer programs nationwide.

A Technology for Technical Preparation of Young Athletes in Team Sports
14. Maria Ransberger, Evgeniya V. VidishchevaAbstract:
The author has developed a technology for technical preparation of young athletes in team sports, which facilitates one’s quick mastering rational and effective techniques and helps develop the ability to employ them, facilitates the formation of one’s individual style using these techniques, the streamlining of technical preparation at any stage – from beginners to world-class athletes, and helps boost efficiency while easing the workload for coaches. Team practice is held on a playing field equipped with a dynamic lighting system that divides the field into zones which the athletes have to stay in with a sports implement and perform specific technical actions. The position, form, and area of such zones can be changed programmatically at different speeds and unexpectedly for the athletes. The drill process is filmed with a camera stationed above the playing field; the image is transferred into a computer that records the time instants at which an athlete and/or the sports implement goes out of the bounds of a zone. An athlete is informed of his/her or the implement’s having gone out of the bounds via an additional dynamic lighting system which differs in color from the system used for the zones and/or via sound signals. The number of times the athletes and/or the sports implement go out of the bounds of preset zones is recorded and indicates the level of the athletes’ technical preparedness. To forestall the development of the dynamic stereotype of lowly depressed eyes, which narrows the vision of the field and prevents one from developing one’s playing thinking, the color of the zone of one or several athletes can be changed programmatically at random times. This serves as a signal for the athletes whose zone color does not change to pass one’s implement over to one of the athletes whose zone color has changed. In such drills, athletes get a chance to not only work on preset technical moves but have to watch for changes in zones in which other athletes are staying – this enables one to better see the playing field and develop one’s playing thinking, as one is deciding which other athlete to pass the implement over to.
