Карти / Maps
A new alternative map site from the EU is availabe and seems to do an good job on Ukraine. Unfortunately it does not follow the Central Rada transliteration completely - h is written as g, and there are other interesting foibles, such as "Я" being written as "ja" instead of "ia" or "Ya" at the beginning of a word.

UKRAINIAN STRUGGLE FOR INDEPENDENCE
Learn about the UKRAINIAN STRUGGLE FOR INDEPENDENCE and the UKRAINIAN NATIONAL REPUBLIC of 1918-19
From the INTERNET ENCYCLOPEDIA OF UKRAINE
(January 2005)
The upcoming inauguration of President Viktor Yushchenko on 23 January 2005 will take place almost exactly on an anniversary of the declaration of independence of the Ukrainian National Republic issued almost 90 years ago.
On 22 January 1918, in its Fourth Universal, the Ukrainian Central Rada declared the independence and sovereignty of the Ukrainian National Republic. The session of the Central Rada on 29 April 1918 elected Mykhailo Hrushevsky president...

STRUGGLE FOR INDEPENDENCE (1917-20). The term used to describe the political, military, and diplomatic activities to achieve Ukrainian statehood in all Ukrainian territories. At first this struggle concerned the central Ukrainian territories, which, until 1917, were part of the Russian Empire. Following the February Revolution of 1917, three Ukrainian state formations were established in central Ukraine. On 17 March the Central Rada, headed by Mykhailo Hrushevsky, was created in Kyiv. The state-founding proclamations of the Rada were the four Universals of the Central Rada: the First (23 June 1917) proclaimed Ukrainian autonomy; the Second (16 July) stated the agreement and the reciprocal recognition between the Central Rada and the Provisional Government; the Third (20 November) created the Ukrainian National Republic (UNR); and the Fourth, dated 22 January 1918, declared the independence and sovereignty of the UNR on 25 January 1918. The session of the Central Rada on 29 April 1918 ratified the Constitution of the Ukrainian National Republic and elected Hrushevsky president. That same day, however, a coup d'état was staged with the support of the Germans by conservative circles at the congress of the All-Ukrainian Union of Landowners of Ukraine. Gen Pavlo Skoropadsky was proclaimed hetman of the Ukrainian State, which replaced the UNR. The hetman decreed the 'Laws for the Provisional Regime in Ukraine,' which annulled the previous legal status and all laws of the UNR, and formed the Hetman government.
The Ukrainian political formations that opposed the hetman formed the Ukrainian National Union at the beginning of August 1918 and on 13 November they appointed the Directory of the Ukrainian National Republic, headed by Volodymyr Vynnychenko. Following Pavlo Skoropadsky's 14 November 1918 proclamation of the federation of Ukraine with Russia, the Directory began an anti-hetman uprising that culminated on 14 December in the restoration of the republican rule of the UNR∑

Cataloging your Book Collection
A number of years ago, I asked a friend if she knew of any library program that would allow you to punch in the ISBN and it would add a book to your database. I was interested again, because it has been a couple of years now that I have updated my database on the laptop and we have accumulated at least a couple hundred books since then. However, the old laptop is no longer portable - battery dead - so I would need to upgrade the program.
Well, they are here! Anyway, for real computers (Apple Macs), the program is called Booxter - I guess you are supposed to pronounce it Book - ster. It uses your iSight camera to scan in the ISBN - or you can type it in. It then goes out and searches the internet - LOC, etc. and returns with a complete description, etc. and enters it into your database, which is printable.
http://www.deepprose.com/
There is also one that I found for PCs, called BookCat:
http://www.fnprg.com/bookcat/bookcat.html
The functionality is close to the Mac version, but you have to type in the ISBN, I did not see the ability to scan.

Raison d'etre
I have created this blog as a means of preserving some interesting data. The monthly newsletter was too much to do in a short period of time. This blog, will contain interesting bits of information as well as links to sites that may or may not be directly genealogy related. It will also carry book reviews, recipes and other Ukrainian trivia.
