Officials in a remote Russian city have drawn up a list of practical tips for locals on how to survive encounters (相遇) with bears, after growing numbers have wandered into the streets in search of food.

Officials in the city of Syktyvkar drew up the guidelines to guide the local people, after several bears were caught sight of in the city, going hungry after a heat wave shriveled their usual diet of nuts and berries.

The guide warns that city people there should stay calm and stand still if they meet with a bear. “Speak to the bear in a firm voice” and “Don’t turn your back on it,” it adds. In the worst case, if the bear attacks, the person should also be ready to attack, the guide says. “Shout angrily at it and look it straight in the eye,” the guide advises. “Bears have started coming into the areas where people live more and more often,” the city officials said in a statement. “Any encounter with a bear is unsafe for humans, so our task is to do all we can to prevent such accidents.”

In September, a bear attacked a 25-year-old man in a central street of the city, wounding him in the neck before he managed to run away, police said. “Three or four people who met with brown bears have been recorded recently,” the head of the hunting department in the regional agriculture organization, Alexander said.

Officials have asked police to patrol (巡逻) streets close to wooded areas in the evenings.

Syktyvkar is the regional capital of the remote Komi region in northwest Russia. Its population is just over 230,000.

                                Learning inside the museum

Museums have an important role in providing learning services to users，especially school children．Some learning services will provide a range of formal teaching opportunities in the museum；others will work closely with school teachers so that these teachers can make better use of the learning resources available through displays and exhibitions，databases，handling collections and museum staff.

In an ideal world，every museum would have at least one learning or education specialist．He or she would be a trained teacher who also had a good understanding of museums and museum collections，and a strong feeling to help people especially children use and learn from them.

A museum education specialist is of great value. For most museums the establishment of such a post should be high priority. He or she is the only member of staff with training in the psychology of learning，and has considerable experience of analyzing complex concepts and－presenting them in a simple way to a non-specialist audience. The education specialist is，indeed，the only professional interpreter in the museum.

    It is clearly reasonable，therefore，for the museum to make full use of the education specialist's skills，and to involve him or her in all aspects of interpretation and the planning of new displays and exhibitions．Museum learning is not just about teaching children，though children may be its principal audience.

Many small museums may not be able to employ an education specialist of their own．For them，there are other possibilities. One is that the local Schools Service may be able to lend a teacher to the museum，perhaps for two or three years，who could be trained to apply teaching skills to the museum context: another is that suitable volunteers may be available in the community-perhaps retired teacher，or teachers not presently working who may be willing to give some of their time to the museum. Another possibility is sponsorship：a large company might be willing to finance the appointment an education specialist for a few years．

An important part of the work for the education specialist in a museum is to establish strong links with its local schools．He or she is a communicator who has responsibility for keeping contact with the teachers at local schools. He or she should make sure that the schools know what is going on at the museum and how they can make use of it，and that the museum staff know about development in the school.Above all,it is their responsibility to find out what schools want and to ensure that the museum does its best to meet those requirements．There needs to be a continuing dialogue between teachers and museum：the museum needs to know what the teachers are teaching；teachers need to learn how the museum could help，and what resources they could use．

The look of wonder on a child's face can be the reward for a lifetime's work in museums．The aims of museum learning are to establish contact between people ----whether children or adults---and objects；and not to teach facts，but to sow（播）a seed of interest，a spark（火花）of inspiration.
