Why did the court adjourn the hearing as a restraint for the captain of the Russian ship?
Kherson City Court postponed the hearing on the election of a measure of restraint to the captain of the Russian fishing vessel “Nord ” Vladimir Gorbatenko on April 6.
Anna Sheveleva, press secretary of the fishing collective farm named after the First of May, which owns the vessel, told Business FM: Anna Sheveleva, press secretary of the fishing collective farm named after the First of May “The meeting today did not happen.
The reason that it did not happen was the absence of the captain in the courthouse.
Unfortunately, the prosecutor could not clearly explain the reason why the captain was not delivered.
In any case, our lawyers believe that they have collected all the evidence, and as soon as the court hearing is held, the captain should be released, that is, he will not be any measure of restraint chosen in the form of imprisonment.
This is what concerns the story related to Vladimir Gorbenko.
The ship was supposed to carry out the removal of fish from the hold today, but, unfortunately, so far this procedure is overgrown with great bureaucratic formalities and, apparently, moves either late in the evening or tomorrow morning.
Although the decision that the fish should be exported by the Ukrainian side has already been adopted. ”
Ukrainian border guards reported the detention of the vessel on March 26, it was under the Russian flag.
The crew members drew up administrative protocols on the violation of the order of departure from the Crimea.
The sailors have Russian passports issued in Kerch.
Now the ship is in the port of Berdyansk

Arrest of the vessel “Nord ”: what do the wives of sailors think about the“ Ukrainian outrage ” (video)
|
On April 3, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia handed the Chargé d'Affaires of Ukraine a note with a "strong protest" in connection with the detention of the Russian fishing vessel Nord by the State Border Service of Ukraine.
This was stated at a briefing by the speaker Maria Zakharova, reported on the Agency, reports B called the detention illegal.
"The attention of the Ukrainian side was drawn to the fact that the crew of the ship is being held in inhuman conditions, Russian consular officers were not allowed to visit it.
The Russian side demanded the immediate release of illegally detained Russian citizens, the return of the Nord ship to its rightful owner and the prevention of similar provocations in the future, "the statement said.
The Russian Consulate in Odessa was given a hint to continue to seek a meeting with the captain of the ship.
Also, Russia called the detained crew members with passports issued in the occupied Kerch, citizens.
They called the detention “the outrage of the Ukrainian authorities. ”
“The Ukrainian side refuses our diplomats to visit the Russians, claiming that all the crew members, including the captain, are from Kerch, and, therefore, citizens of Ukraine.
We continue to insist on the innocence of our compatriots who are subjected to illegal, aggressive actions on the part of the security and judicial structures of Ukraine, "the statement said. Summary.

Former President of the Russian Academy of Sciences doubted the construction of a hybrid reactor in Russia in the 2030s — Rambler / news
|
The former president of the Russian Academy of Sciences doubted the construction of a hybrid reactor in Russia in the 2030s The creation of a hybrid reactor at the thorium can be carried out in Russia in the 2030s.
About this, as write “Izvestia ” said the honorary President of the“ Kurchatov Institute ” Eugene Velikhov.
According to the academician, such a reactor will be able to create all participants in the project of the International Experimental Thermonuclear Reactor ITER, but Russia is the most suitable country for this, since it is the leading supplier of nuclear fuel.
The former president of the Russian Academy of Sciences, academician Vladimir Fortov in an interview with the NSN noted that it is difficult to talk about specific dates yet, since a physical demonstration of thermonuclear fusion has not been carried out.
“The hybrid reactor works in this way: there is a certain source of thermonuclear neutrons, which are obtained by the fusion of deuterium and tritium nuclei.
These neutrons fly out of the reaction zone, fall into an environment called a "blanket".
It consists of uranium-235, and under the action of these neutrons, a reaction is triggered that gives energy.
The hybrid reactor has the advantage that it has increased safety.
The fact is that the source of thermonuclear neutrons can be very easily turned off, because it is either laser or electrodynamic.
Then the whole chain is turned off.
But in order for this to happen, it is necessary to create a thermonuclear source with a high level of neutron output.
It hasn't been done yet.
There is the ITER project - this is one of the steps to achieve a thermonuclear reaction.
After it is mastered, it will be possible to talk about specific dates and a specific place where to build a reactor.
There is still a long way to go before industrial use, ” he said.
The NSN interlocutor added that the hybrid reactor has a drawback.
“There is also a nuclear fission reaction, and therefore the problem of radioactive waste.
Although it is less acute for thorium than for uranium, ” he said.

In the United States found a picture of Chagall, stolen 30 years ago
|
KIEV, April 13 — RIA Novosti Ukraine.
Marc Chagall ’ s painting returned to its rightful owners ’ home in Manhattan after nearly 30 years.
This is reported by the BBC with reference to the press service of the FBI.
We are talking about the work called “Othello and Desdemona ”, which the artist wrote in 1911.
The canvas was discovered in 2017, when a resident of Maryland (his name is not mentioned in the documents) contacted the FBI office, who wanted to confirm the authenticity of the picture.
The fact is that he repeatedly tried to sell the canvas to one of the galleries in Washington, but without certain documents it was impossible to do this.
The story began in 1988, when a man who worked for collectors Ernest and Rosa Geller, during the departure of the owners stole a canvas by Marc Chagall, and with him several more works of art: works by Renoir, Picasso and Hopper.
Soon after, the thief sold the painting to a man from Maryland, and for about 30 years the famous canvas was dusting in the attic.
According to the personal lawyer of the Gellers Alan Scott, of all the stolen paintings, it is the return of the work of Chagall that would please the Gellers.
The Gellers, who bought the painting in the 1920s, have long since died, so the canvas will be handed over to their heirs, who plan to immediately put “Othello and Desdemona ” at auction.
The money they will have to spend to reimburse the money of the insurance company, many years ago paid compensation for theft.
At the same time, the thief and the man who kept the picture are not threatened - the statute of limitations of the crime has already expired, so they cannot be charged.
The investigation into the other paintings that went missing from the Geller house is ongoing.
A sketch of a nude Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci was found in France.
Experts from the Louvre after conducting research came to the conclusion that the sketch, which is in France for the last 150 years, “at least partially ” written by Leonardo a Vinci.

The Chinese will launch an artificial sun
|
Scientists from China are planning to create a new source of energy.
Chinese scientists plan to develop an artificial sun that will be 13 times hotter than the present.
This was reported by local media.
According to the plan, the device will become a new environmentally friendly and renewable energy source.
It will be based on the purposeful control of thermonuclear reactions.
It is expected that the Chinese "sun" will produce temperatures up to 200 degrees Celsius.
Work on the object will be completed at the end of 2020.

Global Warming: How Our Diet Will Change
|
Global warming: how to change our diet In its article, Bloomberg describes in detail what changes are happening on the dinner table of people around the world.
As cold regions become warmer and hot regions become hotter, the boundaries of agriculture and fishing are changing.
Climate change means huge changes in the lives of people who grow food and fish, as well as those who buy what they produce.
As in any situation, there are winners and losers.
There are problems of the rich world (less cod, more lobsters) and problems of the poor world (droughts, epidemics).
There is a threat to the world ’ s staple foods, including wheat and maize.
However, there is a threat to elite goods, such as elite wines from Bordeaux or coffee grown in Java.
As temperatures rise, the best conditions for growing many crops move from the tropics to the north, to cooler regions.
Fish and other underwater inhabitants also migrate to cooler regions as temperatures in their habitual habitats rise.
British vintage wine - this term used to seem funny, but now it is a reality.
Coffee farmers in Indonesia, Ethiopia and Peru are increasingly moving to cooler locations, mostly in the mountains.
In the UK, companies that are engaged in fishing, notice a decrease in the number of cod and haddock and an increase in the number of squid and anchovies.
The country is forced to import cod from Iceland, China and Norway.

Became known the date of the first flight of the world's largest aircraft (Video)
|
Venture aerospace company Stratolaunch Systems said that the flight of the Scaled Composites Stratolaunch Model 351 aircraft will take place this summer.
This was announced at the scientific conference of the 34th Space Symposium in Colorado Springs.
However, according to experts, it is possible that the expected date may be moved to a later date.
This is due to the complexity of the design and the use of fundamentally new design solutions.
Now behind the plane — a number of successfully passed ground tests.
In February of this year, it became known that the Scaled Composites Stratolaunch Model 351 as part of the steering tests reached a speed of 46 mph (74 km / h).
The test took place in Mojave, California.
The first taxiing tests of the aircraft performed even earlier, and rolled it out on May 31 last year.
At the same time, the first high-quality photos of the almost completed winged car appeared.
It is worth noting that, although small aircraft are able to rise into the air at relatively low speeds, for the take-off of such a large machine will require a much greater speed.
At the same time, engineers did everything possible to facilitate the aircraft.
The company Scaled Composites used the most advanced composite materials in the construction.
The aircraft is made according to a very original two-fuselage scheme.
It has six Pratt & Whitney PW4056 twin-circuit turbojet engines.
The car has the largest wingspan in history.
It can also be considered the largest aircraft.
Immediately behind the Scaled Composites Stratolaunch Model 351 is the Soviet transport aircraft An-225 ("Mriya"), significantly inferior to the "American" in wing span.
The third place is occupied by Airbus A340-600.
The largest production aircraft in the world and the largest passenger capacity recognized the famous Airbus A380.
Recall that the aerospace system "air launch" Stratolaunch presented back in 2011.
It is designed to put 6.12 tons of payload into low Earth orbit.
The complex includes three main components: a giant aircraft, a multi-stage rocket and a system that allows you to combine these two segments.

Stratolaunch Systems will fly the largest aircraft in the world
|
Stratolaunch Systems plans to test the flight of the largest aircraft in the world - the two-fuselage Stratolaunch Model 351.
This is reported by the online edition of Space News.
Testing is planned for the summer of 2018.
At the same time, it is possible that the terms of flight testing will be postponed due to the complex structures of the aircraft.
It is noted that in early March, the aircraft has already passed high-speed ground tests, during which it accelerated to a record 74 km / h.
This aircraft is considered the largest in the world.
Its wingspan is 117 meters and its height is 15 meters.
The aircraft consists of two fuselages, its mass with fuel is 340 tons, with a full load - 590 tons.
Aircraft is made according to two-fuselage scheme.
It has six Pratt & Whitney PW40 engines.
Also, the aircraft is equipped with a 28-wheel chassis that can withstand such loads, so it can simultaneously carry up to three Orbital ATK Pegasus XL missiles and put into orbit from an altitude of about nine thousand meters.
After commissioning, it will become a platform for launching small launch vehicles: it will raise them to a height of 9,100 meters above the ground - from there, the missiles will launch to low-Earth orbit on their own.
It is planned that the commissioning of the aircraft will take place no earlier than 2019.

Primorsky deputy rolled the enemy into asphalt
|
A personal example was given by the Chairman of the Legislative Assembly Alexander Roller.
First, he became a participant of the subbotnik in Pokrovsky Park, then he cleaned up his constituency in the village of Trudovoe.
And then, together with veterans and schoolchildren of the village of Tavrichanka, Nadezhda district, the speaker of the Primorsky Parliament put in order a monument to the heroes of the Great Patriotic War.
“Today ’ s event will be useful for Vladivostok, – Alexander Roller is sure. – Currently, the federal program“ Urban Environment ” is being implemented in our country, which is aimed at creating a comfortable modern environment in settlements and supporting citizens ’ initiatives for improvement.
And everything we do now is an integral part of the work on the improvement of the territory of our city. ”
Deputy Andrei Ishchenko fought against the worst enemy of Vladivostok motorists - pits on the road.
On Cheremukhova Street, in the area of a famous shopping center, he cleaned the pit, filled it with rubble, laid it with asphalt and, using his Toyota Land Cruiser car as a skating rink, eliminated a road obstacle.
For the sixth year in a row, Deputy Chairman of the Committee on Regional Policy and Legality Alexander Los came to the Pokrovsky Park on Saturday.
“Our city needs to be put in order, ” the deputy explains his regular participation in the improvement action. – And he also needs the townspeople to treat him with piety.
Therefore, I want to appeal to the residents of the regional center with a request not to clutter the place where we live.
We don't litter at home.
I am sure that even abroad Vladivostok residents do not throw cigarette butts and garbage on the ground.
So why can it be done with us?
Let's put the extinguished cigarette or wrapper in the pocket to the nearest urn. "
Igor Chemeris, Chairman of the Committee on Social Policy and Protection of Citizens ’ Rights, could not refuse to participate in the subbotnik: “The team I work for gathered here, so I could not stay at home.
But I still believe that such public actions and the work of city services should take place in parallel.
In my opinion, public utilities should fulfill their responsibilities for sanitary cleaning and improvement of quality.
Since when they do not finish, the townspeople are forced to go out on Saturdays and fix the situation for them. ”
Chairman of the Committee on Rules of Procedure, Deputy Ethics and Organization of Work of the Legislative Assembly Dmitry Novikov participated in two clean-up days at once: in the sailor ’ s square and on Gromov 6.
“They ’ ve removed a skid that hasn ’ t been cleaned in years.
What was not found there: shoes, and tracksuits, I ’ m not talking about bottles and bags.
I was lucky to find a 100 ruble bill.
So I got not only a good mood in the end, but also a financial benefit, ” Dmitry Novikov smiles.

Terra Preta in the Middle Urals
|
"Terra Preta" in the Middle Urals Sverdlovsk region is one of the most unfavorable regions in terms of ecology.
The middle Urals is “bombing ” from all sides – it goes to water and air.
At the same time, it is said about the effluents and emissions of industrial enterprises, automobile exhausts, but no less important “supplier ” of pollutants is forgotten – farmland.
The work of farmers – soil treatment, fertilization and grazing of animals – significantly increases the removal of nitrous oxide (also known as diazot oxide or laughing gas) from the fields.
In particular, in mid-April, when it began to snow, experts of the Center for Environmental Monitoring and Control recorded the emission of nitrogen dioxide into the atmosphere of Yekaterinburg.
According to one version, they were blown from the fields in the suburbs of the Ural capital.
About what is fraught with global climate change and whether each poison has an antidote, in an exclusive interview with "Uralinformburo" said Elena Rizhia - candidate of biological Sciences, employee of the Agrophysical Research Institute (St. Petersburg). - Elena Yanovna, about climate change today is not talking except lazy.
As you know, the strongest impact on it is exerted by greenhouse gases that heat the Earth's atmosphere.
How urgent is the problem of the greenhouse effect? — At the state level, the task is set to control changes in greenhouse gases in Russia and maintain a global level.
This is stated in the decree of our government.
Back in 1999, Russia signed the Kyoto Protocol (an additional document to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change — approx. ed.).
In 2016, the Paris Agreement on combating global climate change was signed, but it has not been ratified by our country.
Nitrous oxide (N2O) is the third most important greenhouse gas in the Kyoto Protocol.
It accounts for about 6% of global warming.
It is allocated in the production and use of mineral fertilizers, in the chemical industry, in agriculture, etc. — What are the main sources of greenhouse gases? — The share of energy and industry accounts for 70% to 80% of emissions.
This is stated in the sixth report of the Russian Federation on climate change.
The contribution of agriculture is significantly lower - in the region of 10-12%.
But at the same time, it should be understood that it is the share of agricultural soils that accounts for 40 to 60% of the total amount of nitrogen oxide entering the atmosphere of our planet from all existing sources.
This is the third most important greenhouse gas of the Kyoto Protocol, which accounts for about 6% of global warming.
This is a very active reagent that destroys ozone, which means that the sun ’ s impact on the planet is increasingly active.
Due to the heating of the lower layers of the atmosphere, the accumulation of greenhouse gases increases the temperature of the surface of
As a result, the air temperature is higher than it should be, which leads to irreversible consequences such as climate change and global warming.
The Paris Climate Agreement was adopted on December 12, 2015, following a conference in Paris.
195 participants of the forum agreed to prevent an increase in the average temperature on the planet by 2100 by more than 2 degrees Celsius compared with the pre-industrial era.
The ecosystem is very different from the ecosystem.
From a mathematical point of view in an ecosystem, if something has gone, so much has arrived.
Nature itself is trying to compensate for the losses incurred.
There is no such perfect balance in the agro-ecosystem.
When we intervene in it more and more actively, we must compensate for the losses - to apply fertilizers, ameliorants, etc., and mainly nitrogen orientation.
If not compensated, it leads to soil degradation and low crop yields.
But today, food security is the number one task for Russia.
On the other hand, our intervention in the agroecosystem leads to a change in the cleaning balance.
The emission (emission of any substances into the atmosphere — approx. ed.) of greenhouse gases increases or nutrients are washed out into the lower horizons. — How can we reduce the emission of greenhouse gases from agricultural soils? — Numerous scientific studies are conducted on the impact of various agrotechnical measures, for example, the selection of soil treatment methods that can minimize the loss of greenhouse gases.
Crops are introduced into crop rotation, allowing to reduce emissions and at the same time maintain fertility.
In the 80s of the last century, our country developed a program for the use of various inhibitors (chemicals) that suppress the chain of microbiological processes leading to the formation of greenhouse gases.
About 320 million tons of organic waste are produced annually in Russia, 250 million of which are agricultural and forest waste. One of the modern technologies is the introduction of biocoal into the soil.
The use of this product, obtained as a result of carbonization of plant biomass, allows solving a number of environmental problems.
First, plant waste is involved in the production cycle, which can strengthen the nitrogen and carbon cycles if it is not involved in economic activities.
In Russia today, agricultural waste is an almost unclaimed resource.
Secondly, the growing concentration of nitrogen dioxide in the atmosphere decreases, since carbon absorbed by plants during photosynthesis does not return to the atmosphere, but is preserved in the form of carbonized biomass, thereby reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
The introduction of biochar as an ameliorant in the soil plays a key role in changing the physicochemical properties of soils that affect the microbiological processes responsible for the formation of greenhouse gases, while simultaneously improving the dynamics of nutrients necessary for plant growth and development. – How long has biochar been used in agricultural work? – In the late 90s, German scientists drew attention to artificially created soils, actively used in agriculture in the Brazilian part of Latin America. America.
The soils, called "Terra Preta", were formed by local residents as a result of regular burning of grassy and shrub vegetation and embedding the resulting material into the arable layer.
Soils with large amounts of charcoal have also been found in Europe.
The results of research by scientists from St. Petersburg demonstrate that the introduction of biochar into the moderately cultivated soil reduced the emission of nitrous oxide by an average of 33%.
Among the scientists there was an idea of the prospects of using carbonized materials in agriculture to improve soil characteristics and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
And this, as already mentioned, is consistent with the problems of our time - global climate change and food security in the world.
More details about this are stated in Irina Mukhina ’ s thesis “The influence of carbonized biomass on the fertility parameters of sod-podzolic soils and the emission of greenhouse gases ” (excerpts are given in the boxes – approx. ed). – Despite the usefulness of biocoal widespread in Russia, he has not yet found.
Why? — In our country, economic judgments play an important role so far.
Apparently, it is unprofitable to provide each farm with furnaces for the production of carbonized mass.
In addition, the plant waste from which biocharcoal is made, and the product itself are individual.
The region of application is also of great importance - the climate is everywhere special.
A lot of research needs to be done before biocharcoal is put into mass use.
The use of environmentally friendly pyrolysis of plant residues (biochar) can reduce anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases by 12% annually. – Nevertheless, in the future it is visible? – If we take the north-west of Russia, we have been studying the influence of biochar on agricultural soils for 8 years.
And there hasn ’ t been a single year in which biochar options haven ’ t shown a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions in soils.
We can also argue that soil properties that are useful for plant growth and development are improving. – When people talk about the “greenhouse effect ”, it seems to many that this is a problem from a distant perspective.
How does it affect nature, people and cities in which we live? – If initially scientists talked about global warming, now they have changed their intonation a little and have already begun to talk about global climate change.
Everyone notices that there is a shift in monthly weather changes, seasons.
If earlier the winter months were December, January and February, today winter, at least in the Northwest, begins in mid-January, and spring in March and does not think to start.
The agrarian aspect is also changing: those cultures that grew in the south are now growing well, for example, in central Russia.
Climate risks could lead to more desertification – where there were fertile lands.
Some global change is happening, and the main reason, of course, is the increase in the concentration of anthropogenic greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

Ural Sultanov: “Together with all passed general space training ”
|
Ural Sultanov: “Together with all passed general space training ” As a graduate of the Suvorov School in Kazan became a tester of the legendary Buran spacecraft The first and only flight of the Buran reusable spacecraft took place on November 15, 1988.
With the collapse of the USSR, the project was closed, but is still perceived as a missed chance for domestic astronautics.
Realnoe Vremya talked to test cosmonaut Ural Sultanov, who took part in the last heroic episode of the Soviet conquest of space.
Ural Nazibovich was born 40 years before the only flight of Buran, in November 1948, in the village of Nikifarovo, Alsheevsky district of Bashkortostan.
He studied in Kazan and still remembers the capital of Tatarstan with gratitude.
“I am grateful to the Kazan Suvorov School that I remember French until now ” – How did your journey to aviation begin? – I had a desire to become a military fighter pilot since childhood.
I have read many books about aviation.
At the age of thirteen, he decided to enter the Kazan Suvorov Military School and studied there from 1964 to 1967.
- Can you share your memories of Kazan and the Suvorov School? - A beautiful school, wonderful years, excellent teachers and officers.
I come to Kazan regularly to visit my classmates.
The knowledge was very thorough.
We were especially good at teaching a foreign language.
And I am grateful to the school that I still remember the French language.
Of course, Kazan has become even more beautiful since then.
I remember well how we walked along Freedom Square, along Bauman, where there was transport at the time.
And after Suvorovsky, in 1971, I graduated from the Kharkov Higher Military Aviation School of Pilots.
I became a military fighter pilot, but I was left in the school as an instructor to train cadets.
I served there until 1977.
Then he entered the School of Test Pilots of the Ministry of Aviation Industry of the USSR and ceased to be a military.
We studied at school for a year and a half.
During this time, they underwent theoretical training, flight tests and conducted flights on 14 types of aircraft: fighters, transport aircraft, bombers and others.
All this is given not in order to decorate the biography, but so that the test pilot could flexibly switch from one type of aircraft to another.
“A wonderful school, wonderful years, excellent teachers and officers.
I come to Kazan regularly to visit my classmates.
The knowledge was very thorough.
We were especially good at teaching a foreign language.
And I am grateful to the school that I still remember the French language. ”
Photo by Maxim Platonov “Will you fly on airplanes, helicopters, and missiles ” – What new models of aircraft have you tested? – It is only the general public that it seems that test pilots are testing new models every day.
Actually, it's not.
But to create a new aircraft, you need to understand how best to make a new sight, how the suspension of a new shape affects aerodynamics.
Therefore, experimental flights are more serious work than raising a new model.
Flight Research Institute (LII them. M. M. Gromov — approx. ed.) did not invent new types of aircraft, but he worked in the name of their creation.
We had a lot of experimental aircraft, which were converted from serial: MiG-25, Su-7, Su-9.
At the very beginning of the 80s, I had to participate in state flight tests of the Su-27, in conjunction with the Air Force, when the aircraft was not yet in service.
And with "Buran" I officially worked since 1983, when there was an order. - How did you get on the project "Buran"? - I was still studying at the school of test pilots.
It was released at the end of 78.
Sometime in August, the flight test center chiefs called me up and asked, “Where do you want to go? ”
I replied that where they would go, I would go, but if I went to the factory, I would like to go where the fighters are made.
The boss says, “We have another offer, you will work at the Flight Research Institute.
And if you show yourself on the good side, you will be selected as an astronaut. ”
I knew it was coming, but I wasn't particularly interested in it.
The guys who got into the group already began to undergo general space training at this time.
I decided to explain to my superiors that I came here to fly airplanes, not rockets.
I was told, “You ’ ll fly airplanes, helicopters, and rockets. ”
This option completely satisfied me.
In the Flight Research Institute were presented almost all aircraft that were in service and in operation in civil aviation.
They gave me Saturday and Sunday to think about, and I almost said, “What ’ s there to think about?
The goldfish are on their own. ”
But for the sake of order, he made a clever appearance and said that I would think.
He agreed on Monday.
"To test the Buran in the atmosphere, created an analogue" - Surely there is a very big difference between the control of the aircraft and the control of such a device as "Buran".
This is a completely different principle of entry into the atmosphere and especially landing.
The fact is that the Buran was designed to land on an airplane - on wheels.
But it had no engines to fly in the atmosphere.
He could hardly fly horizontally.
It had rocket engines that worked in airless space, allowing it to maneuver in height and maintain stability.
So what had to be done?
Discharged "Buran" due to the ballistic trajectory in the area of possible landing near the airfield.
And then from 20 kilometers automatic or pilot in manual control had to land it.
We worked out the manual control method, worked out the control laws and automatic control system.
For this purpose, flying laboratories were created on the basis of Tu-154 LL and MiG-25 LL aircraft.
They were given the same aerodynamic qualities as Buran.
The resistance of this aircraft corresponded to the resistance of the Buran.
The dynamics and trajectory of the maneuver were approximately the same.
The differences are minimal.
"Buran" according to the plan was to land on an airplane - on wheels.
But it had no engines to fly in the atmosphere.
He could hardly fly horizontally.
It had rocket engines that worked in airless space, allowing it to maneuver in altitude and maintain stability. "
Photo buran.ru - On the "Buran" had to fly? - On flying laboratories, I have already lost count of flights.
I flew and flew.
It was necessary to constantly train and not lose the skill of landing without an engine.
But the flight of Buran was only one, and that in automatic mode.
Even in order to test the "Buran" in the atmosphere, created an analogue.
It was exactly the same in aerodynamic shape, only there was an elongated bow rack, four AL-31 engines were attached to it behind, and it took off on its own.
24 flights were made, but I did not fly it.
Although in principle it was all the same that we have on the Tu-154 LL. - How do the skills of the Buran pilot differ from the skills of a military pilot? - We differed very much.
The military pilot is mainly engaged in the field of combat use, he has very strict restrictions on maneuvers that go beyond the course of military training of front-line fighter aircraft or fighter-bomber aircraft.
We had no such restrictions.
He was allowed on all types of flights.
I have the right to fly the MiG-29 on a corkscrew, the Su-27 on a corkscrew and any other type of aircraft depending on the task.
“Not for that I wanted to be a pilot, to sit on the station for six months ” – you officially have a category“ test cosmonaut ”.
- Valentin Petrovich Glushko, who was in our time for the Queen, demanded that we should undergo general space training.
And together with all passed general space training in the Cosmonaut Training Center.
But we didn ’ t sit there all the time because our job is different – we have to fly.
They completely agreed with this, and if I had flights on the program, I would leave, fly and return to the training center again.
The training of ordinary astronauts is constant.
They do a lot of physical and theoretical work.
But they're not flying.
They are in space and working on the station.
And we have to go back and forth and work out the safety of the flight.
And on the "Burana" all this was done for the first time.
The automatic control system was conceived by our scientists as the main, first control loop, and the second control loop is the pilot who sits on the safety net.
But we were not entirely in agreement with that.
The machine will drag me down and rip me off, and I'll get out, and the height is gone.
What am I supposed to do then?
I agree that automation should be on any device.
If everything is going well and I'm not waiting for a trick, I turn on the machine.
Therefore, we worked out a manual control system for ourselves and tested the automatic system in flying laboratories.
In the cabin of the usual Tu-154 instrument panels are the same on the right and left.
And in our laboratory on the left were standard devices, and on the right as on the "Buran".
The control system was connected only after the engineers flying with me gave confirmation.
The central control knob was like a fighter.
And the plane behaved better with it than with the steering wheel.
His resilience was great.
This Tu-154 had to be brought to a point in the area of the airfield at an altitude of 10 km.
He released the wheels, turned on the interceptors, reverses of the side engines and went down vertically from 100 meters.
I was running a manual system to work out an algorithm that was then driven into a four-loop computing center on Buran itself.
What should I do in space?
Not for that I wanted to be a fighter pilot, a test pilot, to sit on the station for six months and chase the fly Nyurka (fly nicknamed Nyurka lived in the orbital station “Soyuz-4 ” — approx. ed.).
My profession is much more interesting to me.
“Buran ’ s flight was only one, and it was in automatic mode.
Even in order to test the Buran in the atmosphere, they created an analogue for it. "
Photo buran.ru “Finally, the Soviet man saw how the money thrown into space returned back ” – How, in your opinion, our“ Buran ” differs from the American shuttles? – The shuttle project is associated with the program of the Strategic Defense Initiative of President Reagan.
The Americans advertised their capabilities in such a way that with the help of shuttles they will put platforms in near-Earth orbit, on which guns will stand, to intercept missiles that fly in their direction.
But missiles are constantly being improved, so I never believed in the realism of these plans.
The Americans showed us "fig", and we decided that we would show two in response.
And of course, the Buran was different from the shuttles.
There's a big barrel of fuel on the American shuttle.
The shuttle takes off, and the barrel falls into the ocean.
Our plan is to make a rocket from this barrel, which will be able to put into orbit a payload weighing up to 100 tons.
This is an Energia rocket, and one of the cargo should be Buran.
The plan is, of course, good.
There is always the temptation to bring back from space what was brought there.
Buran could carry 14 to 17 tons of payload.
As one artist said, at last a Soviet man saw the money thrown into space come back.
There was also a good program of a small apparatus "Lightning", which started from the back of the aircraft "Mriya".
As an interceptor, reconnaissance and bomber, he could be useful.
And then it was possible to make it an apparatus for changing crews to the ISS.
But it remained a wooden model, because it was 1988.
And when the USSR collapsed, there was no talk about it.
Who is interested in "Buran" when there is nothing. - What did you do after the closure of the project? - I was the deputy head of the school of test pilots for flight training from 1992 to 1996.
At that time, there was fraternization with the Americans, so I managed to fly the American T-38, F-15 Eagle, C-141 and the French Mirages.
Until 2003, it carried out transport flights, but it is boring in comparison with what it was.
“Until the age of five, I had no idea what the Russian language was.
I first found out when we became friends with the guys from the Russian village.
And our language is a mixed Bashkir-Tatar. ”
Photo by zlatmash.ru “Our language is mixed, Bashkir-Tatar ” – In Bashkortostan you are called a Bashkir test pilot, in Tatarstan – Tatar.
How do you feel about yourself?
What language did you speak in your village? — Until I was five years old, I had no idea what the Russian language was.
I first found out when we became friends with the guys from the Russian village.
And our language is mixed, Bashkir-Tatar.
It cannot be said that it is a pronounced Tatar or a pronounced Bashkir.
These are two different languages, but the basis is the same.
Determining who is of what nationality – this is what politicians do.
I am not interested. – Now live in Ufa? – Now I am in Ufa, and my house is in Zhukovsky near Moscow.
I visit my homeland for a long time because here, in the Davlekanovsky district, a flight aerospace school is held, where the winners of the Mozhaysky Olympiad come.
These are students who are interested in the history of astronautics and aviation.
They have knowledge and I have experience.
It ’ s an interesting, lively conversation.

Pandora ’ s Box – US allocates money to oust Russian entertainment programs from Moldovan TV
|
Source: russian.rt.com On Moldovan television, Russian entertainment content should be replaced with Western shows and serials, the US believes.
The State Department allocates $2 million for the support of Moldovan TV, as well as for the production and adaptation of American programs.
As noted in the grant, which got acquainted with RT, these measures “should lead to a reorientation of the audience. ”
Earlier in Moldova came into force a law prohibiting the broadcast of news and analytical programs of the Russian Federation.
RT understood how the United States seeks to displace the Russian segment from Moldovan television and why Washington should invest in entertainment shows.
The US Embassy in Moldova has published a grant for the creation of entertainment television content.
According to the document, the goal of the project is to improve the quality of TV Moldova.
At the same time, the emphasis is on the displacement of Russian-language programs.
“The provision of American television content and television formats should lead to the reorientation of the Moldovan audience from Russian programs and formats to American ones and become evidence of the positive effect of geopolitical reorientation in terms of the quality of the television products created and rebroadcast, ” the document says.
Thus, Washington seeks to ensure that American programs and TV formats “occupy leading positions in the ratings ” on Moldovan television.
Now it is TV that attracts the largest audience in the country, and the most popular programs are Russian.
“The local TV market is still dominated by retransmitted and / or localized entertainment content from Russia.
This is facilitated by its high quality and low cost in comparison with the predominantly low-quality television products of local production and high-quality, but expensive Western television formats and entertainment programs, ” the document says.
It is assumed that thanks to the US grant, Moldova will be able to afford to buy more expensive content produced by Western countries.
As noted in the contract, these measures “should clearly demonstrate ” that the transition to American programs and formats“ economically feasible ”.
According to the document, the contracting organization, which will receive money from the American Embassy, will work to reorient the Moldovan audience.
“Financing and producing pilot episodes of locally produced television series, licensing and distribution of American television formats and / or entertainment programs for Moldovan television, as well as dubbing of American and European entertainment content in Romanian for Moldovan television, ” the contract states.
In total, within the framework of the grant, from 50 to 100 American TV shows should be prepared for the Moldovan audience, the cost of the license of each of which can vary from $15 to $150 thousand.
The programs must be broadcast on at least five television channels in Moldova.
According to the document, the total funding in this direction provides for the allocation of $750 thousand.
In addition, up to $1.25 million will be spent on the production of series.
Also, the contractor of the US State Department undertakes to transfer from 1 thousand to 2 thousand hours of American and European video content.
The cost of an hour of dubbing was estimated at $1 thousand.
The announced amount of funding for the program is $2 million.
Expert of the International Institute for Humanitarian and Political Studies Vladimir Bruter in a conversation with RT noted that the initiative of Washington indicates the intention of the United States to form a certain system of views in Moldova.
“American shows should show, together with entertainment content, a certain generalized image, they should form a system of views on a number of social problems, an alternative to the one adopted in Moldova.
After entertainment comes information content.
They cannot be separated.
For those who watch TV, they always exist together to one degree or another, ” the expert explained.
Vladimir Bruter also described how under the influence of shows and serials there is a reorientation of the audience.
“When you are offered one content and after that they offer a certain set of political solutions, of course, a number of citizens are reoriented.
After all, they do not offer alternative content and political solutions related to it (since Russian information programs are prohibited), ” the expert stressed.
Bruter also noted that there is a direct link between entertainment and politics.
“The promotion of American formats in Moldova is a political decision.
All derussification is of an ordered political nature.
This is a request of the collective West for the political and ethnic de-Russification of all the territories that are close to Russia, ” the expert said.
Doctor of Political Sciences, Professor of Moscow State University Andrei Manoilo believes that the United States is trying to gain control over the political and information agenda in Moldova.
“Washington intends to get a channel of influence on the mass consciousness of citizens of the country in order to introduce Western values, standards, models of behavior into their consciousness.
This will happen inevitably, if most of the broadcasting in Moldova will be American, and the Russian channels will begin to displace, ” the expert said.
In February, a law came into force in Moldova that prohibits the broadcast of Russian information and analytical television programs.
This rule was adopted against the will of the head of state Igor Dodon.
For channels that will be found in violation of the law, there are serious fines.
In Russia, the adopted norm is called discriminatory.
Later it was reported that some media have already issued fines.
Thus, the authorities considered a violation of the broadcast of the message of Russian President Vladimir Putin to the Federal Assembly.
As previously reported by RT, the channel must pay about $4.2 thousand for the broadcast of the appeal, which, according to the Coordination Council, “dominated by reports of Russia ’ s superiority over other countries. ”
Recall that according to a sociological survey conducted in January, most of the respondents in Moldova opposed the ban on Russian news and analytical programs.
According to the Vox Populi poll, presented by the Moldovan Association of Sociologists and Demographers, 64.2% of respondents reported a negative attitude towards the ban on Russian broadcasting in the country.
Only 16% of respondents supported the introduction of a ban on Russian news content.
According to Andrei Manoilo, Moldova is of “very great interest ” to the United States.
“The strategic plans of the United States are designed for the long term, and the emergence of American media will allow us to take a certain segment of information broadcasting now.
This segment of broadcasting will work for anti-Russian candidates.
And the call to oppose Russian broadcasting is standard phrases that are necessary for the Congress to allocate funding in this direction, because the Congress willingly allocates money to counter Russia, ” the expert stressed.

“A surgeon used to make someone a size five bust — and the whole community admired it. ”
|
“Before, the surgeon made someone a bust of the fifth size – and the whole community admired ” Interview of the surgeon and co-owner of the family company“ Clinic Obydennova ” about instagram doctors, the most frequent operations and the capacity of the market of Kazan Photo: Maxim Platonov “Clinic Obydennova ” was one of the first to practice plastic surgery in Kazan, and in 2013 opened a related direction – the clinic of cosmetology.
The plans include a hospital where plastic surgeons will be strengthened by specialists of other profiles.
Dmitry Obydennov, the son of the founder and co-owner of the clinic, admits that much in the style of doing business is a tribute to the profession, not to business. — Obydennov Clinic was founded by your father, Sergei Obydennov, and was the first to provide aesthetic surgery services in Kazan.
- In the 90s, it was microsurgeons who picked up a relatively new direction of medicine - aesthetic medicine.
The first plastic surgery my father began to do in the RCB.
And in 2002, my parents opened a private clinic, it was much smaller than it is now.
My mother was engaged in accounting, finance, and my father was engaged in surgery.
I was completely out of business because of my age, but according to the stories I can judge - at first it was difficult, there were very few operations.
His father continued to work in the RKB, and in his own clinic, in fact, he was engaged in consultations, because out of a hundred potential patients, only two or three people per month reached the operation.
There was no information, people did not know anything about plastic surgery, they thought that it was done once or twice... - And on the spot they found out that there are contraindications, rehabilitation... - Yes, that this is a full-fledged surgery.
People then went for information. – And what is the situation now? – Now two operations is the minimum that we do per day. – And what are the most popular? – There is a slight seasonality.
For example, during the holidays there are always a lot of ear correction operations for schoolchildren and students.
This is the second most frequent operation.
The first, probably, blepharoplasty - we definitely do one such operation a day.
Breast correction is in third place, and the number of these operations is increasing.
If five years ago we did three or four breast corrections a month, now we do the same in a week.
I do not know where such growth comes from, probably people are more and more loyal to interference in appearance.
And this despite the constant negativity in the media and on the Internet about the unsuccessful operations.
By the way, the number of applications for nose correction is growing, and the trend will continue. – In 2013, you opened a second clinic focused on cosmetology in Kazan.
What is a new dynamic market for?
But there's another reason.
I personally have a belief that the operation should be done only as a last resort.
If something can be done without surgery, it is better to do without it.
Any, even the smallest, intervention carries the risk of complications.
Of course, in cosmetology, this is also possible, but the probability of getting a complication there is still less, because the depth of the intervention is less.
I personally have a belief that the operation should be done only as a last resort.
If something can be done without surgery, it is better to do without it.
Any, even the smallest intervention, carries the risk of complications - That is, you opened cosmetology to save customers who have already come to you to provide them with a turnkey service? - Roughly speaking, yes. - But cosmetology is now a more attractive market? - It is difficult to say.
If you look at the number of appeals, then cosmetologists, of course, have many times more – simply because not everyone will decide on the operation. – What share of your turnover now falls on cosmetology and surgery? – 50 / 50.
But, of course, cosmetology will grow.
Another thing is that there is a lot of “but ”.
The effect of cosmetic procedures does not last as long as from plastic.
Take the average patient - a woman of 35-40 years: it seems that there is already a decrease in facial tone, you can do an operation, or you can act through cosmetology - and so, and so we will come to one result, but the operation will eventually be cheaper, because cosmetology is not a mono-procedure, this is a course, and its full cost is higher, and the effect is less.
But without going to the operating room, without scalpels, without rehabilitation periods.
The profitability of the classical operation is high, it does not need such expensive foreign drugs as for cosmetology.
- In your opinion, the market of Kazan and the region as a whole is developed? - Kazan is very developed, especially in terms of cosmetology, many new clinics are opening.
I am talking about good clinics, not about beauty salons, where they immediately cut and manicure do - there are also a lot of such offices, they are licensed.
As a doctor, I find this strange.
But the exact number of clinics of plastic surgery and cosmetology I will not name.
Moreover, now plastic surgery is performed on the basis of every city hospital.
Private, probably a dozen.
I see that the growth is very big, the last three or four years is just huge.
We have enough customers, and even more than that, if I used to try not to operate on weekends, now this is not the question.
I would like to say that we are so good, but I think everyone is so.
We have enough customers, and even more than that, if I used to try not to operate on weekends, now the question is not posed “No one can ensure sterility at home ” – the shadow market – drugs and“ homeworkers ” are usually called the main problem.
Can you at least roughly say what proportion they “eat away ” from law-abiding players? – The share of“ homeworkers ” to calculate, I think, is impossible.
For me, this is primarily a problem as a doctor, because it is often necessary to correct someone else ’ s mistakes, and it can be very difficult to correct them.
Yes, the shadow market is a problem, and Roszdravnadzor decided to deal with it, but how is a question for me.
Well, they will write out a fine of 1000 rubles - tomorrow the illegal will again go to do injections.
We can not cope with this, because there are always people who want to get a service cheaper. – Unless only to scare the consequences. – Our people are not afraid of anything! – What are the most frequent appeals about correcting the consequences of poor quality procedures? – Wrong dosage and choice of points for injections of botulinum toxins, as a result of which distorts the face, eyebrows drop.
With threads a lot of problems, now it is a popular procedure.
Just recently there was a case that the thread in the neck was put so that the person was hard to breathe, and we had to dissect these threads surgically, because with each breath the patient became worse.
Frequent cases of inflammation.
Thread lifting is generally equated with surgery, and the requirements for sterility of the procedure are the same, they can not be provided at home.
This should at least be the conditions of the treatment room, where everything is quartzuvaetsya and processed to a sterile state. - But most often at home doctors themselves from clinics... - Yes, it is.
But this is unacceptable to us.
If we became aware of this fact, it would definitely be an occasion to say goodbye to a person without talking.
But the phenomenon itself is ineradicable.
I can ’ t even imagine how, except for control purchases.
Cosmetologists are becoming more and more every year.
We're more of a craftsman.
Our main task is not business, it is important for us to provide high-quality assistance to the Craft, not business — Are all advanced technologies, equipment, drugs available now in Russia? — Absolutely.
Another thing is that everything is not cheap, there are practically no Russian manufacturers, you have to buy everything not for rubles. - And how often do you have to update the equipment park, how short is the service cycle of the devices? - Very short.
Medicine, especially aesthetic, does not stand still at all, and it is necessary to constantly update the equipment.
We buy at least one new car a year.
We follow trends, and if something new appears, it needs to be acquired.
A simple device for laser rejuvenation of the face, which will not surprise anyone, costs 100 thousand, not rubles, of course.
You can buy uncertified equipment, it is several times cheaper.
You said that it was hard for your dad to open a private clinic 16 years ago.
Now it ’ s an easy way, is there room for new players?
However, this is not a business that can be easily scaled, opening clinic after clinic.
We're more of a craftsman.
Our main task is not business, it is important for us to provide quality assistance. – The bench of good doctors is short? – I think, yes.
But we at the clinic went the other way, we grow staff and do not even think about hiring some famous surgeon.
Why do we need this?
He's gonna have to be retrained to our standards, and he's got a crown on his head.
And the situation for training is good now.
A lot of active young guys who are well trained, neat.
I have many ambitious plans, I work for the development of the business, but not for the sake of money, not to lead a luxurious lifestyle.
I am an unfashionable person in this regard - And aesthetic surgery is a prestigious specialization? - No, what are you.
In Kazan, there is not even a residency in plastic surgery.
To become a plastic surgeon now, you need to go to Moscow, St. Petersburg, Yaroslavl or Tomsk.
Earlier in Kazan there was a course on primary retraining, which lasted only three months.
And the residency is not only long - two years, it is also not cheap, there are practically no budget places.
Training costs 400 thousand in just one year.
Well, what average Kazan student will be able to pay 800 thousand rubles for residency?
And if he pays, most likely he will stay to work in Moscow and St. Petersburg.
But we expect that in Kazan should open such a residency.
What is more important for the promotion of clinic services – the name of the doctor or the skill of a marketer who masterfully orients himself in advertising channels? – This is a sore topic for many doctors.
There was such a division in us: “instagram ” and“ non-instagram ” doctor.
I tell myself every week: it ’ s time to be more active in Instagram, publish news, gain subscribers.
But still the soul does not lie.
Is it from my father, who says that you need to be first of all a doctor, and not a businessman and marketer.
Although I have friends among the Moscow doctors, who only thanks to “Instagram ” untwisted, and they do not need anything else, they have fully secured the flow from the social network.
Maybe I ’ ll come to that one day.
But not yet.
While more than 50% of those who come to us, learn about us on word of mouth.
We no longer treat the clinic as a business project.
Therefore, putting out your work everywhere seems strange.
- Explain what it means: do you treat the clinic not as a business? - For my father and I, this is primarily medicine, an interesting job.
I have many ambitious plans, I work for the development of the business, but not for the sake of money, not to lead a luxurious lifestyle.
I am an unfashionable person in this regard.
I love my employees very much, I like to watch them grow, it ’ s nice to receive feedback from patients.
Words cannot convey that.
But when a person comes with some aesthetic problem, and we solve it, even his gait changes, he becomes more self-confident. — Curious, because many problems can be solved by a psychologist, not in the operating room.
Do you believe that this is the preferred way to get rid of complexes? - If a psychologist can help get rid of the complex, then of course.
I personally attach great importance to consultation.
I talk to patients a lot, I always try to talk them out of surgery.
Wrong, I guess I got it from my dad.
But we take the operation when the person says: “Doctor, well, I can ’ t, gnaws at me. ”
Once a couple of times I advised to consult a psychologist, but received only an aggressive reaction, people confuse psychology and psychiatry.
But I see a lot of potential in this kind of help.
When a person comes with some aesthetic problem and we solve it, even his gait changes, he becomes more self-confident – Are there cases in your practice that you are proud of? – Something that I am proud of happens every day.
It used to be that some surgeon made someone a size five breast, and the whole community admired it.
Now everything is turning into a quality routine work.
Everything has already been invented, technologies are now aimed at improving, cheapening or accelerating the result.
It's not like there's any kind of technology coming in and making a breakthrough that's gonna line up.
In surgery, only one thing is invented - the hands of the surgeon.
Everything else is secondary.
The most common question now is: “Do you have a laser or scalpel surgery? ”
I think some of the clinics are promoting their services by focusing on the laser.
We also have five or six of them, and I say, “If you want, I ’ ll make a laser incision for you. ”
But only what is the nuance - the cut always heals faster than a burn, and the scar from it is less noticeable.
This is the influence of the Internet, “Instagram ” with a photo“ before / after ”, where there is a lot of incorrect or incomplete information, where it is hidden that before the photo “after ” a person could go to a beautician for another year.
If cosmetology and surgery are able to play back from nature 5-10 years, this is very great.
But making a 60-year-old woman a 30-year-old is impossible.
Those who come to us with photos from 20 years ago, we are even afraid.
I ’ m just for getting old.
If a person can afford it, great.
As a doctor, I am happy.
But in the modern world, it is customary to look young and healthy.
There is no reason for this fashion to go away, I do not see.
Yes, at one time there was some wild fashion for huge lips and huge breasts, sharp cheekbones - all had the same faces.
I remember flying to a big conference five years ago.
On the plane from Moscow flew a bunch of surgeons and a bunch of cosmetologists.
Cosmetologists, although they were of different ages, turned out to be all on the same person.
I flew to a similar event recently, the situation has definitely improved.
There was a pullback from vulgar intervention - to normal.
Now a rarity - surgery to increase the breast to a huge size, 99% of all requests for breasts - is a return of shape and volume to the indicators before pregnancy and childbirth.
In surgery, only one thing is invented - the hands of the surgeon.
Everything else is secondary – you mentioned that you have great ambitions in terms of the development of the clinic.
- In any case, we will not limit ourselves to two clinics, we would like to create a stationary clinic where not only aesthetic surgery will be practiced.
I, for example, have a shortage of specialists in related specialties.
It often happens that we do rhinoplasty, and it turns out that a person also has a curved septum, which can only be corrected by an ENT doctor.
That is, theoretically, the fact that aesthetic surgeons touch it, it is wrong, in medicine there is a debate.
But everyone wants to sleep peacefully, I would prefer to do such an operation in a pair with an ENT doctor.
Or during breast surgery, a benign formation is detected, an oncologist mammologist is needed in a couple.
I would like to build a related infrastructure.
And in cosmetology I would like to go beyond the region, and then there are many more plans, there would be enough time.

Over the Earth will be two Suns – Chinese scientists will launch into orbit an artificial star
|
Experts from the Celestial Empire decided on an amazing development.
They have almost created a special reactor that repeats the same chemical processes that occur inside the sun.
This information was reported by the publication “Rakurs ”, reports“ NBN ”.
It is noted that such technology is able to produce energy by repeating the same processes that occur in the Sun.
If experts are able to fully recreate a miniature copy of the Sun, China will be able to get almost endless, clean and cheap electricity.
Scientists announced the launch of their reactor in 2020.
Surprisingly, the temperature inside the reactor system is 13 times higher than in the center of the Sun.
According to experts, inside their technology, the temperature reaches 100 million degrees Celsius.
At the moment, it is not known the exact dates about when the artificial star will be launched into orbit.
However, some people began to worry about the fact that it could be dangerous for the Earth.
Scientists from the Celestial Empire assure that for people such a "Sun" does not carry any danger.
Recall that in the secret passage of the pyramid of Cheops, an unknown creature was found - what archaeologists stumbled upon.

In Primorye detained North Korean poachers in the extraction of squid
|
Border guards of Primorye on September 11 detained 16 North Korean small boats and more than 250 fishermen from North Korea, who illegally caught squid in the Russian exclusive economic zone, told the correspondent of IA REGNUM in the Border Department of the FSB of Russia for the Primorsky Territory.
Hundreds of Korean schooners are looking for protection from typhoon Krosa in the bays of Primorye "Contrary to the measures taken, foreign ships continue to conduct illegal fishing, for which they are detained and brought to justice in accordance with Russian legislation," the border guards explained.
The Consul General of the DPRK in Vladivostok was informed about the incidents.
As reported by IA REGNUM, foreign ships in anticipation of typhoons took refuge in the bays of the Primorsky Territory and many of them were illegally mining resources in Russian waters.

After plastic surgery, the patient recovered from the insurance company more than 800 000 rubles. – Rambler
|
After plastic surgery, the patient recovered from the insurance company more than 800 000 rubles.
The court of the Amur region recovered from the insurance company 865 000 rubles in favor of a tourist who was hospitalized in Thailand shortly after breast augmentation surgery.
A resident of the city of Tyndy at the end of September 2016 with her family went to Thailand for a couple of weeks.
On the eve of the trip, she entered into an insurance contract with ERV Travel Insurance JSC in case of unforeseen medical expenses, as well as expenses related to forced cancellation of the trip or change of its terms.
In Thailand, a woman underwent breast augmentation and liposuction.
She was discharged, but the next day she again went to the doctors because of acute abdominal pain, severe nausea and vomiting.
The woman was hospitalized.
She had to pay for medical services and purchase air tickets for another flight for herself and the child.
Returning home, the tourist sent to the insurance company an application for reimbursement of expenses in the amount of more than half a million rubles, but she was refused.
The insurance company considered hospitalization as a consequence of plastic surgery, and according to the contract, the costs of the client associated with cosmetic or plastic surgery, carried out for aesthetic or cosmetic purposes, were not subject to reimbursement.
Then the client filed a lawsuit against the insurers in the Tyndinsky District Court of the Amur Region, demanding to recover in her favor the amount of expenses and compensation.
The court was presented with the conclusion of the Bureau of forensic examination that the symptoms of the disease during the re-hospitalization are not a consequence of the plastic surgery.
This is evidenced, in particular, by the results of computed tomography performed in the hospital, indicating the localization of the pathological process in the gastrointestinal tract and abdominal cavity, which cannot be a consequence of the operation, as well as the later development of pain syndrome - not on the first, but on the second day after surgery.
As the court found, the diagnosis of acute gastroenteritis indicated in the medical certificate, in general, does not contradict the treatment carried out in the hospital.
As a result, the court came to the conclusion that the disease of the plaintiff during the re-hospitalization is not a consequence of the plastic surgery, which means that it is considered an insured event.
As a result, the court recovered from the insurance company compensation for expenses in the amount of 523,679.42 rubles, a penalty of 50,000 rubles, compensation for moral damage in 3,000 rubles and a fine for non-satisfaction of consumer claims in the amount of 288,339.71 rubles.
In total, the defendant must pay the tourist 865,019.13 rubles.

There were some strange holes in the wall of this house.
But after it rained...
Being in the city, it can be difficult to find an opportunity to get in touch with nature.
And if we take into account the fact that not everyone can build a garden (due to a small plot, lack of funds, and so on), then the greenhouse becomes literally a pipe dream.
But designers have found a very creative solution to this problem!
The authors of the project Pocket Panel (“panels with a pocket ”) created something that looks like small toilets attached to the wall.
But the picture looks very different when the “pockets ” begin to grow flowers.
Grass, flowers and even curly shrubs - any plant can grow here!
These panels decorate the facade of the house well.
Now the idea is actively developing, and perhaps it will take root among residents of megacities, who lack communication with nature!

From Nefertiti to Yeltsin: famous personalities suffering from craving for alcohol
|
Alcohol accompanied humanity at almost all stages of history, and people with nervous work often tried to relieve tension through alcohol.
It is not surprising that famous figures, including rulers of states and creative personalities, sometimes applied to the bottle.
In addition to her beauty, the queen of Egypt throughout the Nile valley was famous for her skill in making barley beer.
At the same time, Nefertiti ’ s subjects believed that the recipe for this unfiltered drink was borrowed from Osiris himself.
It was the latter, according to legends, who taught the inhabitants of Egypt animal husbandry and agriculture.
Because of the tragic circumstances of life, the famous American writer often found salvation in alcohol.
In 1849, the figure died due to delirium tremens, provoked, according to one of the versions of historians, serious alcohol intoxication.
Boris Yeltsin The addiction of this politician to alcohol was notorious all over the world.
Moreover, people close to the president said that Yeltsin was not an alcoholic, he just liked to drink.
In addition, the activist considered Gorbachev ’ s anti-alcohol campaign extremely ridiculous.
The genius of ancient medicine believed that many diseases can be cured by wine.
Among the recommendations of the figure addressed to patients, there were often calls for the use of this drink, but the dosage could vary depending on the ailment.
Ernest Hemingway This novelist from the United States was also famous for his reverent attitude to alcohol.
He often fell into binge drinking, regularly visiting bars.
In addition, the writer was distinguished by a stormy temperament, combined with a changeable mood.
In 1961, Hemingway fell into a depression that eventually led to his suicide.
Winston Churchill The alcoholism of the British politician pursued until his death, and even this habit was combined with the fact that Churchill was an avid smoker.
However, surprisingly, this did not prevent the premiere to live for as long as 90 years.
He joked that he was able to extract more from alcohol than that from him.
Historians call Alexander the Great commander a great drinker, and feasts dedicated to his victories could stretch for weeks.
In historical records, there are mentions that Macedonian was addicted to wine from a young age.
However, this did not pass without a trace, since at the age of 33 the figure died from a stomach ulcer, provoked, among other things, by excessive doses of alcohol.

The Duma Committee notes the risk of Russia ’ s withdrawal from world energy projects due to counter-sanctions
|
Duma Committee notes the risk of Russia ’ s withdrawal from world projects in the energy sector due to counter-sanctions MOSCOW, May 4. / TASS /.
Countersanctions envisaged by the draft on retaliation for unfriendly actions of the United States against Russia may lead to the withdrawal of Russia from major international projects in the energy sector.
This follows from the conclusion of the State Duma Committee on energy, posted on Friday in the Duma electronic database.
“The response measures envisaged by the draft law, including in relation to the international projects ITER (International Experimental Thermonuclear Reactor) and FAIR (European Center for the Study of Ions and Antiprotons), will lead to delays and increased costs of the projects and with a high probability to their termination and withdrawal of the Russian Federation from these projects.
At the same time, the funds already invested by the Russian Federation in the construction of ITER and FAIR are not refundable.
Other participants in these projects may put forward requirements to the Russian Federation to cover their financial costs, ” the document says.
The deputies of the committee also draw attention to the fact that the obligations of the Russian Federation to the International Organization ITER are provided by the State Atomic Energy Corporation Rosatom “with the use of federal budget funds ”.
According to the conclusion of the committee, if the ITER project is stopped, “there is a risk of losing the leading role of the Russian Federation in the field of controlled thermonuclear fusion ”, which will lead to limited access to advanced technologies not only in this area, but also to methods for studying nuclear energy, superconductivity, IT technologies and many others.
“Russian organizations will lose contracts for the development and manufacture of high-tech products for ITER and FAIR, ” the deputies of the State Duma Committee on Energy emphasize, but note that they generally support the concept of the bill and recommend its adoption in the first reading“ taking into account the comments made. ”

Farmers need to adapt to climate change – experts
|
Farmers need to take into account climate change and adapt to it.
This opinion was expressed today during a press conference in Kiev by specialists of the Ukrainian Hydrometeorological Center.
According to the head of the department of agrometeorology of the Ukrainian Hydrometeorological Center Tatyana ADAMENKO, today the increase in the heat supply of the growing season of plants due to warming leads to an increase in the productivity of crops, "but how long this period will last is a question, perhaps it will be ten years."
“And then, if this trend and the intensity of warming continues in the summer months, then we will gradually move into a period of unfavorable agrometeorological conditions due to the fact that this will lead to a decrease in precipitation, ” the expert said.
According to the head of the Hydrometeorological Center Nikolai KULBIDA, certain positive factors that took place at the beginning of warming and in the middle of this process, with the maximum values of temperature growth, which are possible already in the next 10-20 years, will have reverse processes when the negative impact will exceed the positive factor.
According to T. ADAMENKO, farmers need to monitor trends in climate change and make appropriate decisions.
“There are a lot of questions – both the selection of varieties, and their adaptation to new agroclimatic conditions.
Neither our technology nor our varieties are adapted to the European winter.
Given the fact that we are warming in the winter period, we need to take the experience of Western countries, their seeds, their technologies, etc., ” she said.

Countermeasures and Russia ’ s leadership in science will moderate the West ’ s sanctions fervor
|
The parliamentary committee on energy assumes certain risks for international projects with the participation of Russia in case of introduction of countersanctions.
“The response measures envisaged by the draft law, including in relation to the international projects ITER (International Experimental Thermonuclear Reactor) and FAIR (European Center for the Study of Ions and Antiprotons), will lead to delays and increased costs of the projects and with a high probability to their termination and withdrawal of the Russian Federation from these projects.
At the same time, the funds already invested by the Russian Federation in the construction of ITER and FAIR are not refundable.
Other participants in these projects may be put forward requirements to the Russian Federation to cover their financial costs, ” — said in the document of the Duma Committee, the authors generally support the concept of the bill and recommend its adoption in the first reading “taking into account the comments made. ”
In the global context, the development and adoption of restrictive measures have always been accompanied by adjustments and refinements, says Igor Yushkov.
If we are talking about scientific, research contacts with the world community, this cannot be touched.
It is necessary to be built into the global scientific process, falling out of it is fraught with serious damage, the expert believes.
"Everything related to science and education should be left out of sanctions, including major projects where cooperation and global competence are needed.
You gather scientists from all over the world, and everyone makes their own intellectual contribution.
No wonder an international team is working on the Hadron Collider.
The same in the humanitarian scientific sphere, there is no way to do without joint activities.
On the one hand, we are making efforts to ensure that our universities are included in international rankings, and there the key factor is citation and publication in international publications, and, on the other hand, we can lose international scientific projects, ” the expert said.
According to Yushkov, this should be avoided, so the comments of the energy committee, expressed in the address of the bill, are absolutely correct.
It is necessary to try to occupy leading positions in scientific projects, and then Western countries will be afraid to impose sanctions against us in these areas.
In general, approaches to the development of counter-sanctions measures are gradually changing, this is a natural process.

Kilopower portable nuclear reactor successfully tested at maximum power » DailyTechInfo
|
Possession of sufficient energy is one of the main conditions for the successful implementation of long-range space flights.
An expedition to Mars, for example, will require much more fuel than even the most powerful rocket can lift into space, so some of this fuel must be produced directly on Mars from local resources, which will require a large amount of energy.
The solution to the energy problem in space is the Kilopower compact mobile nuclear reactor, developed jointly by NASA, Los Alamos National Laboratory and other organizations.
Earlier this year, preliminary tests of the Kilopower reactor were carried out, and during March of this year the reactor successfully passed the first tests, during which it worked at its maximum power.Small nuclear reactors of the Kilopower series are not yet able to produce enough energy, but their large, 10-kW variants, working as part of a group of four to five reactors, can provide energy to a habitable Martian base even in the dark time. In March of this year, the research team conducted tests during which the Kilopower reactor operated at full power for 20 hours.
The reactor used in the tests is not yet intended for launch into space, however, its tests were carried out in conditions that are as close as possible to real conditions in space.
The amount of heat generated by it exceeded the expected level, while the reactor itself and the flow of energy given to it were in a stable state.
This indicates that the reactor is able to survive even some emergencies, such as a sudden shutdown of its cooling system.
According to calculations, the temperature of the reactor core in this case should increase by a maximum of 15 degrees, which will not entail any consequences.Successful tests of the Kilopower reactor showed that the technologies underlying it are already ready for their use in space flights.
This, in turn, allows NASA management to begin planning the first test launch of such a reactor into space, but it is still very early to talk about any timing for this event.
It is only known that over the next 18 months, the researchers must develop, manufacture and test new means and systems for automatic control of the operation of the Kilopower reactors of different capacities.

The head of the Crimea commented on the detention of the Ukrainian vessel in the Black sea
|
The head of the Crimea Sergey Aksyonov explained why a Ukrainian fishing vessel was detained off the coast of the peninsula.
He wrote about it on his Facebook page.
“All the actions carried out by the FSB Border Guard Service were carried out in accordance with Russian law.
Unfortunately, the Ukrainian authorities are determined to inflict maximum damage to the Russian Crimea.
Therefore, I am sure that all the measures taken by Russia are correct and necessary, ” Aksenov said.
Earlier, the FSB reported the detention of a Ukrainian ship off the coast of Crimea.
In March 2014, a referendum was held in Crimea, as a result of which the peninsula became a territorial part of Russia, and Sevastopol became a city of federal significance.

Defamation distributors must lose their sense of invulnerability
|
Russia has finally taken a real step in response to the actions of Ukraine, which took Crimean fishermen hostage.
The border service detained the Ukrainian fishing trawler and its crew.
And although the reason for the detention is quite reasonable – poaching, the actions of the border guards give a chance to release the Russians detained by Kiev.
Russian border guards detained a fishing vessel YAMK-0041 near the western coast of Crimea (home port – Ochakov, Ukraine), which conducted illegal fishing of Kalkan flounder with net fishing gear in the exclusive economic zone of Russia.
This was reported by the press service of the regional border management of the FSB.
The border management clarifies: the Ukrainian vessel, on board of which there were five crew members, was detained in the area of Cape Tarkhankut.
The vessel and crew were taken to Crimea for “procedural actions ”, several kilometers of nets were seized during the inspection.
Spokesman of the border service of Ukraine Oleg Slobodyan reacted surprisingly peacefully – he only confirmed that the Ochakiv fishermen and according to Ukrainian rules did not have permission to fish in the waters of the Crimea.
In the evening, the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry also intervened in the situation.
It is noteworthy that he also did not immediately resent, but only sent a note to the Russian Foreign Ministry to clarify the circumstances of the detention of the Ukrainian vessel.
This was written on Twitter by the press Secretary of the Department Maryana Betsa.
However, only half an hour later, the Foreign Ministry of Ukraine changed its mind.
Apparently, Kiev still remembered in what waters the detention took place, and immediately burst into an angry rebuke against Moscow, demanding the immediate release of their sailors.
The detention of the vessel in Kiev was called “the usurpation of the sovereign affairs of Ukraine in relation to these areas and a violation of the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, as well as customary international law. ”
However, about international law, first of all, it is worth remembering Kiev itself.
On April 29, the Crimean Border Guard Board of the FSB issued a warning that it would henceforth require compliance with all Russian and international fishing rules from fishermen from “a neighboring state fishing in the zone of responsibility of the coast guard of the border service. ”
At the same time, our border guards recalled the facts of illegal fishing in areas where fishing is prohibited, or in places where migratory routes of dolphins are located.
These statements were a clear response to Ukraine ’ s actions – on March 26, Ukrainian border guards detained the Russian fishing vessel Nord.
Some crew members managed to escape and return to their native Crimea.
The captain of the “Nord ” Vladimir Gorbenko said that the crew was taken hostage, and a member of the crew of the seiner Irina Oborina, who managed to return to Russia, told how the Ukrainian border guards put the entire crew of the ship under machine guns.
Moscow has demanded an end to the abuse of Russian sailors, threatening to respond if Kiev does not release the crew.
And although the actions of the Russian border guards clearly look not just a fight against poaching, the problem of poaching in the north-western part of the Black Sea (conditionally, between the Crimea and Odessa) is not far-fetched.
The scale of illegal fishing is such that it seriously threatens the ecosystem of the Crimean water area.
So, back in 2012, Ukrainian scientists complained that excessive legal and poaching of sturgeon led to the fact that sturgeon and sturgeon in 2009 replenished the Red Book of Ukraine.
Dolphins are also victims of poachers.
Only since the beginning of this year, environmentalists have recorded more than 70 cases of dolphins killed in fishing networks of poachers in the water area and on the coast of the Black and Azov Seas.
And this sad fact is also part of the general trend.
Back in 2011, Ukrainian environmentalists sounded the alarm - it was reported that on the coast of the Kinburn Spit (Nikolaev region), in the water area of the national park "Beloberezhye Svyatoslav", poachers literally shot dolphins, UNIAN reported.
Nothing seems to have changed since then.
Deputy of the State Council of Crimea Vladislav Ganzhara believes that the Russian seiner Nord was fishing legally and it should not be compared with Ochakov poachers.
“The situation with this Ukrainian vessel and in general those inspections that were recently initiated by the border service of the Russian Federation have a completely different essence than the case that, unfortunately, occurred with our sailors from the Nord, ” he said in an interview with RT.
Here, the Russian border guards act in accordance with all the norms of international and maritime law. ”
State Duma Deputy Dmitry Belik also urged not to politicize the detention of the Ukrainian crew.
“In Ukraine, barbaric fishing was the norm.
Poachers, fishing in prohibited ways, not only illegally caught, but also maimed tens of tons of fish.
After returning to the Russian Federation, a systematic fight against poachers is underway.
I will emphasize – regardless of citizenship, ” Belik recalled.
Dmitry Belik believes that the strengthening of control over foreign ships is associated with the preparation for the opening of the Crimean bridge, and this should not be considered a banal act of revenge.
“This is a consequence of the aggressive policy of Kiev against our ships, as well as threats from nationalists to carry out sabotage on the Crimean bridge.
This is another issue, the issue of the security of citizens of our country, ” the deputy explained to the newspaper VIEW.
“In general, instead of howling from Ukraine, words of gratitude should be heard for the fact that ships under the yellow-blue flag in principle go through the Kerch Strait and are only inspected by our border guards, ” the deputy ironically said.
Yet the director of the Kiev Center for Political Studies and Conflictology, Mikhail Pogrebinsky, considers “the fight against poaching ” to be rather the official version of what happened,“ and informally it is clear to everyone that it was necessary to wait for some answers from the Russian side. ”
“Here he followed.
But the Ukrainian authorities do not care about all this, about someone else ’ s property, if it does not belong personally to those who are in power.
Therefore, it is impossible to infringe their interests in this way, ” Pogrebinsky told the VZGLYAD newspaper.
According to him, Russia is trying to show that such actions taken by Ukraine with the vessel Nord will be strictly suppressed.
The political scientist does not rule out that the statement of Slobodyan, Kiev, as it were, unties its hands for future negotiations on the exchange of fishermen on the principle of “all for all ”.
“This option makes it possible to break the deadlock in which the Ukrainian authorities found themselves, keeping, in turn, the Crimean fishermen.
Just to release them means to put yourself under attack by nationally-oriented radicals, and if you exchange it, then this is normal, ” Pogrebinsky said.
“The inspection of ships is carried out within the framework of the anti-terrorist operation.
The capture of the Nord is piracy in its purest form.
In Russian realities there are no “anti-piracy ” operations, but there is“ anti-terror ”.
Ukraine itself has done everything possible to ensure that we take steps within the framework of international law to protect its courts and Russian citizens, ” Belik said.
On the eve of Ukraine complained about the “hard ” inspection of Ukrainian ships, which Russian border guards began on April 30 in the Kerch Strait.
The newspaper VZGLYAD wrote in detail that Russia is able to punish Ukraine for such acts of piracy even more.
However, those events took place on the opposite side of the Crimea – along the eastern coast of the peninsula, in the Sea of Azov.
Now, it seems that the entire water area will be drawn into the conflict.

In the counter-sanctions found a threat to the authority of Russia
|
The implementation of the bill on response to “unfriendly actions of the United States ” can cause“ serious damage ” to Russia ’ s reputation, and Russian companies working in the field of nuclear energy, “significant financial losses, ” according to the conclusion of the State Duma Committee on Energy.
The co-author of the project, State Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin, most likely, agreed with the Kremlin “on a more restrained reaction to American sanctions, ” experts say.
The bill on counter-sanctions, introduced on April 13 by Mr. Volodin and the leaders of four Duma factions (later more than 360 deputies and several senators signed it), provides for the “termination or suspension of international cooperation ” of Russia in the nuclear industry with the United States and other foreign states, as well as organizations under their jurisdiction (Article 2, paragraph 4).
In the case of implementation of this provision, the conclusion of the Duma Committee on Energy notes, the conditions for further work of Russia on the world market will be “complicated, ” the country ’ s business reputation can be“ seriously damaged, ” and Russian companies face “significant financial losses. ”
There is also “a risk of a general fall in the image and authority of the Russian Federation in the international arena, ” the committee fears.
Thus, Russia participates in the international projects ITER (International Experimental Thermonuclear Reactor) and FAIR (European Center for the Study of Ions and Antiprotons), but the adoption of the document can lead to the “withdrawal of the Russian Federation from these projects ”, and the already invested funds“ are not subject to return ”.
Russian organizations “will lose contracts for the development and manufacture of high-tech products ”, and in general, Russia may lose its leading role“ in the field of controlled thermonuclear fusion. ”

Under threat and the project to create a multi-purpose fast neutron reactor (MBIR), noted in the Committee: the law may block the participation of foreign partners in this project, which “will increase the burden on the federal budget ” and as a result“ will question the possibility of further implementation ” of the project.
And the termination of INPRO (International Project on Nuclear Fuel Cycles) “threatens to lose Russia ’ s access to advanced technologies of leading foreign countries in the field of nuclear energy ” and the termination of“ training of young Russian scientists ”.
The Committee also notes the risks in the supply of natural uranium and enrichment services, as well as the risks “for foreign nuclear power plant construction projects ” (the Hanhikivi nuclear power plant projects in Finland and the Paks nuclear power plant in Hungary).
“There is a high probability of replacing Rosatom with alternative suppliers from the United States, China, Korea or Japan, ” the committee warns and recommends taking into account the comments when finalizing the draft for the second reading.
The fact that the provisions of the draft need to be correlated with other federal laws regulating “similar legal relations ” was previously reported in their conclusions by the legal department of the State Duma and the Committee on International Affairs.
We are talking about the law “On special economic measures ”, on the basis of which Russian President Vladimir Putin in 2014 signed a decree banning the import of food from a number of countries into Russia.
Also, the authors of the project were recommended to clarify the terms used in the project, and “further discuss ” the advisability of banning or restricting the import of foreign drugs into Russia.
The first reading is scheduled for May 15, Vyacheslav Volodin said that with the adoption of the law in the second and third readings also “will not be delayed ”.
Political analyst Yevgeny Minchenko says that the project “was an emotional reaction that was more media than real. ”
What was needed was a quick response from a body that did not make a final decision, and in this sense the initiative played a role.

The Washington Post: Will the Lockheed Martin Thermonuclear Reactor Work? Some scientists doubt
|
Amrita Jayakumar wrote in an article titled “Will Lockheed Martin ’ s Thermonuclear Reactor Work?
Some scientists doubt this ”, published in the American newspaper The Washington Post.
If the company succeeds in doing so, the reactor will recreate the same fusion reaction that heats the sun and use it to electrify cities.
Although the potential of the fusion reactor has been studied for decades, Lockheed hopes to build a reactor that is small enough to be placed on the back of a truck and relocated.
But is it really possible to achieve this goal?
Scientists are quite skeptical, especially given the compact size of the experimental reactor Lockheed.
“As far as I can tell, they didn ’ t pay attention to the basic physical properties of fusion, ” said Ian Hutchinson, a professor of nuclear physics and engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
The main goal of the Lockheed experiment, which involves the construction of a small reactor measuring 10 by 7 meters, is not very practical, as it does not correspond to the conventional methods used to build reactors around the world, Hutchinson said.
The overall design for thermonuclear experiments on Earth consists of huge donut shaped structures as large as a gym.
For example, the National Complex of Laser Thermonuclear Reactions at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in Livermore (California, USA).
The world ’ s largest fusion reactor, called the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor, is being built in France.
This facility will be as huge as 60 football fields and will generate 500 megawatts of energy, while the size of the reactor itself will be 90 by 130 m. It is the compact size of the Lockheed reactor that makes this experiment unique, and it is possible that its construction will take much less time, said Tom McGuire, head of the California division of the company Lockheed « Skunk Works », which deals with the research of managed thermonuclear fusion.
“The smaller the size of the device, the easier it is to increase speed and the faster it is to develop it.
Instead of spending five years on the development and implementation of the concept, it will take only a few months, ” the company said on its website.
But the idea of thermonuclear fusion has been around for about 60 years, and it's very difficult, said Harald Grishammer, an assistant professor of nuclear physics at George Washington University.
Grishammer is concerned about the risks associated with any nuclear reactions that increase due to the small size of the Lockheed reactor.
To understand these risks, it is necessary to learn a little more about how fusion occurs: when two very hot atoms collide with each other, their nuclei combine into one, releasing a huge amount of energy.
Thermonuclear reactions are part of the process that causes the sun to shine.
A thermonuclear reaction releases atomic particles — neutrons — that “bombard the reactor walls, weakening them, ” Grishammer said.
“It ’ s too small, ” he said of the Lockheed reactor.
“I ’ m not sure about its sustainability. ”
Lockheed said the reactor ’ s walls would absorb neutrons and other byproducts, using them to generate power from cities or planes.
Breakthroughs in science take time, sometimes decades, and even centuries of effort.
And thermonuclear fusion will be no exception.
According to scientists, one of the main problems is the content of the necessary plasma inside the magnetic fields.
Plasma is a bulky mass that needs to be heated so that its atoms can collide.
Scientists say it ’ s almost the same as “trying to hold on to jelly with rubber bands. ”
So will the energy obtained by thermonuclear fusion become a reality?
And in just 10 years?
“I would like this to happen in the next 10 years, ” Grishammer said.
“But I ’ m very skeptical. ”

A new look at Gustav Klimt
|
Under the sounds of classical music, paintings by Klimt and his like-minded Egon Schiele come to life in the light of the show, which involves 140 laser video projectors.
The famous gold motifs of the Austrian artist Gustav Klimt received a new interpretation in the "Workshop of Light" (Atelier des Lumières) in Paris.
The Digital Art Centre, housed in a former foundry, invites you to immerse yourself in the vibrant era of the Vienna Secession.
Organizers say that the Paris Light Workshop is the world's largest multimedia center of its kind.
Michael Kuzigu, "Workshop of Light": "Our exhibition tells about how the style of Gustav Klimt developed.
We see the beginning of his journey in Vienna, when he was a young artist, then gradually we come to the period of the Vienna Secession, when Klimt wanted to free himself from artistic academism and create his own movement, we see how symbolism and art Nouveau appear in his work. "
This performance can be seen in the workshop of light until November 11.
It was a continuation of the successful multimedia project Carrières de Lumières, operating in abandoned quarries in the south of France.

Imperialism without borders under the name ISDS, - V.Katasonov
|
Imperialism without borders under the name ISDS, - V. Katasonov 00: 26 08.05.2018 Restriction of powers of states in favor of transnational capital turns into a system In early May, the name of the well-known hedge fund Elliott Management Corporation again blurred into the media.
As of 2017, the fund had $34 billion in assets under management.
The founder and key shareholder of the fund is the infamous American billionaire Paul Singer.
He gained scandalous fame by the fact that Elliott Management Corporation is a financial vulture - an investor who buys the debt securities of sovereign states on the market for a penny, and then seeks the repayment of these securities at prices corresponding to the denomination indicated on the securities.
Even if other holders of debt securities agree to debt restructuring on such securities, the vulture often breaks down hard-won agreements.
For example, this fund broke the difficult agreement reached in the early 2000s by holders of more than 90% of Argentina ’ s sovereign debt to restructure it.
And he made a lot of money on it, and Argentina was once again driven into a debt loop.
The main tool for enriching Elliott Management and similar vulture funds are the courts.
Elliott Management, along with another fund NML Capital, appealed to a court in New York, which in November 2012 ruled that Buenos Aires should pay $1.33 billion to resellers of debt.
And before the transfer of money to the vultures, all other payments on debts had to be suspended.
I called this phenomenon “legal imperialism. ”
However, there is an even more brazen and dangerous form of legal imperialism for humanity.
We are talking about such an institution, which is called the Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS), which means the settlement of disputes between the investor and the state.
So, the American hedge fund expressed its disagreement with the fact that the South Korean government gave the go-ahead for a deal to merge Samsung C & T and Cheil Industries.
This transaction affects the interests of the American fund, which is the holder of a stake in Samsung C & T.
Elliott Management said it was going to challenge the decision of the South Korean government by applying to an arbitration called ISDS.
The management of the fund explained that it has the right to such treatment - it is provided for by the bilateral free trade agreement between South Korea and the United States (the South Korea-US Free Trade Agreement - KORUS FTA).
So far, the US fund has taken the first step, namely, notified the South Korean government of its intention to conduct an arbitration.
The KORUS FTA agreement stipulates that such notification gives the potential defendant (the state of South Korea) an opportunity to rectify the situation within 90 days.
In the absence of a reaction from the state necessary for the investor, the investor transfers the case to arbitration.
Sounds like an ultimatum.
The functions of arbitration in disputes between the investor and the state under the KORUS FTA agreement are performed by the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID), which is part of the World Bank Group.
All this gives us a reason to understand what ISDS is.
In textbooks and dictionaries we will read that today, it turns out, many agreements between States on trade and investment give private investors the right to resort to arbitration in order to challenge decisions of States that may affect the interests of foreign investors.
Decisions can be challenged, at a minimum, by overturning the decisions of the courts of the host country (the award of fines, the establishment of compensation payments, imprisonment or other judicial decisions against managers and employees of a foreign company, etc.).
And as a maximum – by repealing state laws, if they can adversely affect the financial results of a foreign company.
For example, the enacting State may enact environmental laws to protect public health.
A foreign investor can seek their cancellation if they require additional costs from the company and reduce its profits.
Also, the state can legislatively introduce minimum wage levels, which will require a foreign investor to increase labor costs and again reduce his profits.
The foreign investor has the right to respond to any decisions of the parliaments, governments and courts of the host country that may reduce the profitability of the business.
The ISDS mechanism works in such a way that it is possible, for example, to apply to the ICSID already mentioned, operating under the auspices of the World Bank, but more often decisions are made by improvised arbitration triples, which include a representative of the plaintiff (investor), the defendant (state) and one "independent" participant, selected by mutual consent of the plaintiff and the defendant.
As early as the 1990s, serious attempts were made to limit the powers of States in the interests of transnational capital within the framework of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and the World Trade Organization (WTO), where a draft multilateral investment agreement (MAI) was developed in the 1990s.
It provided that foreign investors may not have any restrictions on the purchase and sale of any assets, including land, natural resources, social infrastructure, cultural and historical monuments, media, etc.
Moreover, the host State should not interfere with the current activities of foreign investors.
The task of the host State is to provide TNCs with the "best possible environment" for productive, commercial and financial activities.
Any restrictions will be considered as a violation by the state of its obligations to foreign investors.
The latter have the right to appeal directly to the court against the actions of the State.
The MIS was prepared in secrecy, its signing was planned to be carried out without publicity in the media, but there was a leak of information.
A scandal broke out, MSI was buried, however, not for always, but for a while.
The development of the MSI was not carried out in an empty place.
The basis of the project was the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), in force since January 1, 1994.
Although the title of the agreement between the United States, Canada and Mexico appears the word “trade ”, a significant part of the document is devoted to such issues as investment, intellectual property, labor migration.
Chapter 11 of NAFTA lists the rights of transnational investors, culminating in the “right ” of corporations to challenge laws, regulations and state practices of signatory countries if they limit the investor ’ s ability to maximize profits.
NAFTA outlaws virtually all regulatory requirements for foreign investors, giving the latter the right to claim compensation for potential loss of profits in the future.
In this case, the affected corporation is entitled to sue as a victim of "measures amounting to expropriation".
The NAFTA agreement effectively legalized the principle of “Business First ” on the scale of the North American continent and allowed transnational capital to freely destroy the remnants of statehood in all three member countries of the agreement.
In accordance with Chapter 11 of NAFTA, TNCs (American and Canadian) began to throw lawsuits against the authorities of the United States, Canada and Mexico, accusing them of “expropriation ”!
Let me give just one example.
The American Ethyl Corporation won a case against the Canadian government, which it sued for its ban on the use of the corporation's toxic gasoline additive.
The company said that not only the ban, but even “the legal debate itself leads to the expropriation of the company ’ s revenues, as public criticism has damaged its reputation. ”
To date, there is not even an accurate estimate of how many international trade, investment and other agreements that provide for ISDS procedures exist in the world (some experts say that their number has reached 3,000).
Most of them are bilateral agreements, but there are also multilateral ones like NAFTA.
Big noise in 2016 made the publication of the American news Agency BuzzFeed News.
This agency was able to study the stories of about 300 investor lawsuits under the ISDS procedures.
In all of these cases, the plaintiffs (companies or individual executives) were subject to criminal charges, including money laundering, embezzlement, market manipulation, bribery, war speculation and fraud.
Among such companies and their leaders: a bank in Cyprus, which the US authorities accused of financing terrorism and organized crime; an oil company accused of embezzling millions from the budget of Burundi; Russian oligarch Sergei Pugachev; telecommunications tycoons involved in the “2G scandal ” in India, the largest corruption scam in the history of the country.
At the time of publication of BuzzFeed materials, most of the cases were under consideration, there were no final arbitration decisions yet, but the plaintiffs already felt a positive result for them: criminal charges began to be gradually canceled, decisions on fines were also closed.
In most cases, the arbitrations required the suspension of the decisions of the respondent States.
The BuzzFeed news agency continues to accumulate information on disputes between foreign investors and states.
To date, the total number of stories exceeds 700, and every year their number is growing.
Here are some examples of lawsuits.
On June 28, 2016, the oil company Cairn Energy (UK) began litigation with the Government of India under the ISDS procedure.
The British company demanded from the defendant compensation in the amount of 5.6 billion dollars for changes in the tax policy of India.
But India is a strong country.
And many stories relate to claims by TNCs against weak states and jurisdictions.
For example, the international mining company Oceana Gold has been mining gold in El Salvador for many years in flagrant violation of environmental norms (in particular, it poisons the Rio Lempa River, which provides water to more than half of the population of El Salvador).
The government tries to protest, the population arranges pickets.
Oceana Gold filed a $300 million lawsuit against El Salvador, equivalent to half of the country ’ s annual budget.
The lawsuit says that according to the signed international agreement, the company has unlimited rights to engage in mining in El Salvador, and the government and the population prevent the company from doing so.
BuzzFeed journalists classify this lawsuit as a gross ultimatum to El Salvador.
It is noted that the states are frankly afraid of arbitrations – not only their final decisions, but even the fact of making a statement of claim by the investor.
The very notification of the intention to conduct the arbitration, they perceive as an ultimatum and surrender ahead of schedule.
In the case of arbitration triples (tribunals) - the same persons.
As a rule, these are lawyers from large business structures (the same TNCs).
For participation in the tribunals, they receive fabulous fees, measured in millions of dollars.
They are trained in the preparation of ultimatums (notifications of the intention to conduct arbitration) and in most cases it does not come to claims and tribunals.
When I wrote that in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, the activities of transnational corporations (TNCs) and transnational banks (TNBs) became possible to qualify as “legal imperialism ”, I meant that TNCs and TNBs use the courts of home countries (primarily the United States and the United Kingdom), as well as international arbitration courts (in The Hague, Stockholm, London, etc.) to promote their interests around the world..
So: the practice of using the ISDS procedures marks the process of destroying the remnants of international law and state sovereignty.
And here it is fair to talk about imperialism without borders.

Dan Martin on his move to Israel Start-Up Nation
|
During the first training camp of the Israel Start-Up Nation team, 33-year-old Irish rider Dan Martin admitted to joining this team, following his intuition, which he always trusted when signing contracts.
In an interview with Cycling Weekly, Dan Martin explained why he chose the Israel Start-Up Nation team and what he decided to change in the process of preparing for the new season.
Dan Martin: “If I had been told at this time a year ago that I would be sitting here in Israel with the Israel Cycling Academy team, I would have been a little surprised.
Many people have asked me why I decided to come here, but now I don ’ t need to explain it.
The team ’ s goals are clear because the team has put a huge effort into becoming a World Tour team in 2020.
From the very beginning of my talks with the team, they mentioned that they wanted to go on a World Tour.
No one, myself included, expected this to happen so quickly.
It seems that the right moment has been chosen, and the project will be successful.
It ’ s very similar to the feeling I had in 2008 with the Slipstream team – the same status as an outsider, the same calmness.
But given the performance and the best possible technical support, we have everything to be competitive.
The process of signing with this team was different than any I had before.
It was like a job interview.
I felt like these guys were scrutinizing my identity to make sure I didn't ruin everything when I joined the team that I fit into it.
It looks like all the other riders signed up because everyone seems to get along very well with each other.
With teams, I always follow my intuition.
The same thing happened when I moved to Slipstream in 2008.
Then I could move to bigger teams, but I acted as my gut told me, and I met people who wanted to work with me.
There is nothing better than this relationship.
From the beginning, these guys had incredible faith in my abilities, confidence that I could progress further.
But I was also attracted to the team spirit, mentality, tolerance and the fact that they are very calm.
The goal is to perform as well as we can and the results will follow.
We want to fight in the week-long races and the Grand Tours without missing out on opportunities. "
During his 12-year career, there were only two seasons when Dan Martin did not win a single victory.
The 2019 season is exactly this - the best result was the 2nd place at the final stage of the Tour of the Basque Country 2019 and the 2nd place in the overall standings of this race.
“Last year we changed my training plan and it became clear that it didn ’ t work.
Then we greatly increased the amount of endurance training, which deprived me of explosive strength.
It affected the results.
I think I only had two seasons out of 12 when I didn ’ t win a single race.
This season was like that.
We just need to add power, explosive force, and hopefully it will bear fruit.
I'm sure it will.
Due to the fact that last season the goal was to fight for the general classification in the Tour de France, we changed my training process.
But in this team they just want to win races, which suits me perfectly.
When we go to the Tour de France, I ’ m not going to sit back and deliberately waste time.
The first week will be difficult and it will suit me perfectly.
We ’ re going to be active at every race and see if it works. ”

Sapar Isakov: I deliberately protected Sooronbay Sharipovich
|
Sapar Isakov: I deliberately defended Sooronbay Sharipovich The former Prime Minister said that yesterday ’ s discussion in the parliament is an attempt to confuse the people and lead away from responsibility the real culprits of the accident at the CHPP Yesterday ’ s discussion in the parliament is an attempt by individual politicians to confuse the people and lead away from responsibility the real culprits of the accident at the CHP.
So commented on the consideration of the results of the parliamentary commission on the accident at the CHP former Prime Minister Sapar Isakov.
According to Isakov, the deputy commission was disoriented from the very beginning and directed in the wrong direction. – But among the deputies of the Jogorku Kenesh there are a lot of experienced politicians and worthy people, – he noted. – I very much hope that objectivity and honesty will prevail.
I personally have never avoided responsibility and propose to divide it into 2 questions: Question one: the causes of the January accident at the CHP and the responsibility of managers at all levels: from the then director of the CHP to the prime ministers, who were preparing for the autumn-winter period of 2017-2018.
That is, there is no need for simple masters and even heads of workshops.
Answer should be from Nurlan Omurkul uulu to Sooronbay Jeenbekov and Sapar Isakov.
I deliberately protected Sooronbay Sharipovich, covered from responsibility in the winter, during the accident.
Many were silent then.
The people of Bishkek were freezing, and those who were preparing the CHP for the winter were silent or blamed on each other.
My government actually came in the fall, but I took political responsibility.
Now I see that this was mistaken for weakness.
But the deputies could and should have, once they took up such a case, studied why the old equipment was not repaired for hundreds of millions of soms spent on the current repair of the thermal power plant at Sooronbay Sharipovich, which eventually failed? Why?
The Commission is not responding to this.
Strange...
The former director of the CHP Nurlan Omurkul uulu is associated with Kozhobek Rysbayev.
Maybe that ’ s why the ex-director is given such honors, given the central tribune, used as an expert, and not as a responsible one?
Do not run away from responsibility!
The second question: the reasons for the conclusion of the agreement on the reconstruction of the CHP for 386 million US dollars and shortcomings in the course of its implementation.
Including the responsibility of all managers: from the then working directors of the CHP, heads of the energy holding and its structures, to the ministers, prime ministers, the then Speaker of the Jogorku Kenesh and the chairmen of the three parliamentary committees.
That is, from Andrei Voropaev and Aibek Kaliev to Zhantoro Satybaldiev, Zhoomart Otorbaev, Temir Sariev, Sooronbay Jeenbekov, Sapar Isakov and ex-speaker Asylbek Jeenbekov.
Therefore, I believe that the list of deputies was clearly incomplete.
To be fair to the end, let them interrogate everyone who signed the documents under the agreement.
Including those who carried out ratification in three readings at once.
Who did not ensure scrupulous acceptance into operation, without proper control.
No need for yesterday ’ s selectivity.
The president made it clear that he would not look at his brother or friend.

This is important for everyone who flies on airplanes.
|
Do you often fly on planes or have you only seen them in movies?
Do you like to be on board or do you have a terrible aerophobia?
Do you enjoy chatting with your neighbors during the flight or do you dream of being left alone?
No matter how you feel about flying, these facts will be of interest to you. 1.
Airplanes are constantly hit by lightning, but this does not affect the flight and is not felt by passengers. 2.
It's pretty crowded in the cabin.
This is done intentionally, because the more people carry the aircraft in one flight, the higher the profit of the carriers.
In the aircraft there are small bedrooms for crew members.
Stewardesses have to spend hours on their feet, so they really need to rest.
Do you know what happens if all the engines fail?
He can fly another 130 miles and land at the nearest airport.
Some aircraft are really old, but it is difficult for a layman to determine this by appearance.
To find out the exact age of a particular machine, you can use special sites.

In Russia, Turkish TV series will be banned
|
Baku.
28 November.
REPORT.AZ / In Russia, it is proposed to ban the broadcast of Turkish TV series and films on television.
According to Report, this proposal was made by the Commission of the Moscow City Duma on culture and mass communications.
The initiators of the project believe that without Turkish products, Russian television will be better.
The expert commission concluded that Turkish films planted a culture of harems alien to the Russian people and showed Muslim men in an exceptionally positive light.
For some Russian girls, it ends up getting into Turkish brothels or unhappy marriages with Turks.
In addition, the quality of such products remains at a low level.
The chairman of the commission, Yevgeny Gerasimov, is also sure that without Turkish TV series, Russian television will be better.
"In general, I do not know good Turkish TV series, especially we are shown a lot of rubbish, and if they remove it, I think television will only get better from this," Gerasimov said.
Meanwhile, as already reported on WikiLex, Russia is going to introduce more serious sanctions.

In New York, the founder of the “new journalism ” Tom Wolfe died
|
Died American journalist and writer Tom Wolfe - the founder of "new journalism": the movement of the 1970s, which proclaimed the blurring of the lines between journalism and literature.
Wolf was 88 years old.
He died in a hospital in Manhattan, where he was taken with an infectious disease.
Wolfe is best known for his collection of essays, The Kandy-Colored Tangerine Flake Steamline Baby.
This was followed by the documentary novel "Electrocool Acid Test" about the American underground of the 60s and the novel "The Necessary Thing" (Right Stuff), also known in Russian translation under the title "The Battle for Space".
Since the 1980s, Wolfe moved to fiction novels: at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries, "The Bonfires of Ambition", "I am Charlotte Simmons" and others were published.
Wolfe and his associates preached a departure from objective factual retelling, the use of literary composition, dialogues and the inner speech of the characters in journalistic essays on any topic: from the Vietnam War to the entertainment of rural drunks.
Wolf was the landmark of Manhattan, where he lived for the last half century, writes the New York Times: "Tall, slender, blue-eyed, youthful looking in a flawless three-piece suit of vanilla from an expensive tailor, in a silk striped shirt with a high collar, a bright handkerchief peering out of the chest pocket, in white shoes.
When he was once asked to describe his image in one word, he replied: “Unpretentious. ”
Wolfe was known for his apt satirical imagery and even memes, such as "radical chic" and "me decade".

Eurotunnel saved from the influx of migrants with the help of police and fences
|
If at the end of last month every night in the tunnel to the UK tried to penetrate up to 2 thousand migrants, now – about 150, reports “EuroPravda ” with reference to the BBC.
Migrants make night raids, trying to cross the English Channel through the Eurotunnel and get to the UK.
Thus, they often cause delays in the operation of the tunnel.
Cameron: UK will not allow the entry of migrants through the "Eurotunnel" To reduce the number of migrants who attack the Eurotunnel, helped measures to strengthen its protection.
The UK government said it had spent £7 million to strengthen the security of the Eurotunnel, with much more to be done.
In particular, the British funds were built additional fences to prevent migrants from getting on platforms and trains.
The police presence has also been increased.
Thanks to this, it was possible to detain most of the migrants who tried to enter the Eurotunnel.
However, French police say the measures are a "short-term solution" as migrants will soon find new loopholes.

Hardened and young. The founder of the cycling club about the advantages of changing cars on a bike
|
Hardened and young.
The founder of the cycling club about the advantages of changing cars to bike Cold is not terrible Elena Pankova, "AiF-SK": Eugene, many people change to bicycles only with the onset of heat.
You go to work and back on the bike in any weather.
Is it hard in winter?
Yevgeny Golovashchenko: Yes, a few years ago I completely abandoned the car and moved to a bicycle. Why?
Everything is simple: on the bike to move much more freely.
I feel independent of traffic jams, buying gasoline, having to pass on the rights, technical inspections.
In winter, of course, driving is much more difficult than in summer.
But there is a modern warm and at the same time light, unfettered clothing.
And if before there was no winter tires for bicycles, now there is it. — Nevertheless, statistics say that only 5% of Stavropol people go to work on a bicycle.
There are opinions that some are afraid to sweat heavily, while others are hard because of the hilly terrain. – No, cyclists are not so heavy physical exertion.
That's why you can't sweat too much.
And the relief in Stavropol is not too steep.
Another thing is the fear that you can get on a bike in an accident.
Don't be afraid of anything!
You just need to know the rules of the road and follow them.
I just once in many years (and moved to the bike more than 10 years ago) almost got into an accident.
I was cut off by a motorist.
Fortunately, it worked out.
No, I think the problem is that the majority of Russians, unlike foreigners, not so long ago became car owners.
Our people haven ’ t had a good time in their cars yet.
In order to become a mass movement, we need an example.
Not for school kids? - You have a great fit.
Is there any harm from traveling around the city?
Well, if the exhausts fly to the left, the breeze carries them away from me.
(Smiling.)
As for the benefits of such movement, it is large.
I am tired and now I rarely suffer from colds.
How much time a day do you need to ride a bike to be in good physical shape? - Even if you spend only half an hour in the saddle, it will bring you tangible benefits.
- Why are there no bicycles in schools? - In one of the schools of Stavropol a few years ago, bikes appeared.
Some program bought them.
But after a while there were only a few left, the rest rusted.
Why did it happen?
Bicycles need to be repaired from time to time.
Who's going to do this?
It ’ s easier to get kids to run around the school.
A bicycle is better than running.
Equation to Europe - Your cycling club "Adrenaline" not so long ago began to conduct something like "Tour de France". - While we, of course, far from the "Tour de France".
But I somehow came up with the idea of becoming a runner (participant in qualifying cycling races. - Ed.).
It ’ s much more fun than just riding around here and there.
The bottom line is that amateurs participate in breveta - qualifying trips for long distances - from 200 to 1200 km.
We coordinate the routes with the international club of runners.
Thanks to this, active participants can then take part in European marathons.
If a cyclist passes 200, 300, 400 and 600 km in the qualifying time, he will earn a medal.
After four races, the amateur gets the right to take part in the Paris-Brest-Paris marathon for 1200 km.
We have already laid out a route of 600 kilometers.
We pass the Stavropol Territory, Karachay-Cherkessia and Krasnodar Territory. - They say that lovers of cycling marathons from the Rostov region specially lay their routes to the Stavropol Territory to admire our mountains and hills. - Yes, we have a very picturesque landscape.
By the way, every year thousands of cyclists come to Kavminvody. – And a lot of cyclists marathoners in the region? – No, so far not enough, although in general several hundred.
They are all men, mostly middle-aged.
So far, only one woman has joined us.
Very few young people.
Unfortunately, the physical fitness of many of them leaves much to be desired.
I am 50 years old, and I do not do any sports besides cycling.
But I ’ m no worse than young people.
But I am an optimist and I believe that the movement of cyclists in the Stavropol region will become mass.
But for this you need to have as many enthusiasts as possible. – Your loved ones ride bicycles? – The wife does not, and the adult daughter from time to time uses a two-wheeled transport to get on it to the place of work.
They usually do this in warm weather.
And in winter and autumn he uses a car. - How to tear teenagers away from gadgets and attach them to sports, including cycling? - Only by personal example!
But, unfortunately, parents rarely show it. – Now cyclists often take with them even on long trips tiny children and dogs.
How do you feel about it? – I don ’ t see anything wrong with it.
The chairs on modern two-wheeled cars are very comfortable.
If the “driver ” is a responsible and careful person, everything will be fine. – In Stavropol, there is only one bike path and not so many bike parks.
Does it bother you? – No, I don ’ t suffer because of it.
I often use poles and even trees to park my iron horse, and I do not need bike paths.
But they are needed by other lovers.
However, while in the regional capital there is only one such path - in the Victory Park, and that was done by abs as well.
As a person who is engaged in construction, I am outraged at how many violations were committed by those who were engaged in this.
And what do we see in the end?
There is no place for cyclists, because the path was chosen by pedestrians.
On the central alley of Victory Park, riding was forbidden.
And where do lovers of a healthy lifestyle breathe fresh air? – And often in the region steal bicycles? – Often.
I advise you not to leave bikes on the street overnight.
If you need to park your bike during the day, try to put it near business centers and office buildings.

Australia condemns Japan ’ s decision to start whaling in Antarctica
|
Baku.
18 December.
Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull said he was very disappointed with Japan ’ s decision to start whaling in Antarctic waters.
According to Report, citing the BBC, he made this statement during his short visit to Tokyo.
Japan suspended whaling last year following a ruling by the International Court of Justice.
In December of this year, Tokyo again allowed fishing companies to start fishing in the waters of the South Pacific Ocean.
This decision of Japan met with condemnation of 33 countries of the world, including Australia and New Zealand.

Climate spoils rice
|
Scientists have found that a high concentration of carbon dioxide leads to changes in vitamins and trace elements in rice.
“If we don ’ t do anything, there will be big negative impacts on human health, ” said Kristie Ebi, one of the authors of the study conducted in Japan, China.
It was there that 18 varieties of rice were studied in the open air.
During the experiment, they were exposed to carbon dioxide, much higher than natural indicators.
The study showed that at high concentrations of CO2, the content of vitamin B1, B2, B5 and B9 in the plant decreased by 25% -30%.
The study also confirmed a decrease in protein, iron and zinc.
“The strongest impact of carbon dioxide has on folic acid (vitamin B9).
And as you know, deficiencies in this vitamin in pregnant women can lead to the appearance of children with various anomalies, ” says Ebi.
Her findings seem to confirm scientific research related to wheat.
As it turned out, the yield of this cereal decreases as the planet warms.
Scientists suggest that if you compare the rice of today's crop and rice grown 10 years or more ago, you will already notice a difference in its composition - you just need to pick up samples.

“Artificial Sun ” will be launched in China in 2020
|
Chinese scientists have said they are working on the EAST fusion reactor, which is also called the "artificial sun."
By 2020, it will be fully ready for launch, reports Newsweek.
Scientists claim that the "artificial Sun" will be 13 times hotter than the present.
According to experts, after launch, the device will produce energy similar to that found in the bowels of the sun.
The device is expected to be put into operation in 2020.
If successful, the device could bring scientists closer to achieving the ultimate goal of nuclear fusion: near-limitless, cheap clean energy.

"We will go the other way": refugees go to the Alps
|
The Italian village of Claviere is well known to lovers of mountain skiing: picturesque alpine slopes, clean air, peace.
Which turns out to be deceptive - there's been too much police around lately.
It is no coincidence that a few hundred meters from here is the French border.
You can get to it by alpine trails if you go on foot and do not want to "glow", and you can by transport if you have nothing to fear.
So did dozens of residents of Clavier, moving to the French side to participate in the protest.
It is directed against the local police and authorities: residents accuse them of rounding up migrants who walk from Italy to France.
Demonstrator: "A young woman died here.
She was found in a river that crosses the border commune of Briançon.
She was a black woman, no papers, no one even grabbed her.
Gentlemen, police officers, we do not want our border area to become a crypt after the Mediterranean cemetery.
Crossing the border here in the Alps is becoming deadly for refugees seeking to France. "
Locals often help people unfamiliar with alpine conditions.
Such assistance is risky: for the shelter of illegal immigrants, a law-abiding Frenchman, for example, may face punishment.
Benoit Ducos, mountain guide: “We managed to save a lot of people.
Now winter and the cold is behind us, and this is the main risk factor for refugees.
Our section of the border is heavily patrolled, forcing people to take more difficult routes.
There are many dangers on their way to France. ”
Police are investigating the death of a 20-year-old Nigerian girl.
Protesters talk about hypocrisy: other migrants who walked in the same group with the girl claim that she fell behind and disappeared during a police raid.
Police officer, anonymously: "We have nothing to do with this.
I think it ’ s their conductor ’ s fault. ”
The protester said, “No, it ’ s not an accident.
It's murder, and we know the killers well.
First, there are politicians who advocate closing borders to refugees.
Second, citizens who support persecution.
Look how many there are: the police, the gendarmes, the hunters are different... and now these young neo-fascists who check all the trails here are catching migrants. "
Over the past two years, according to official data, about 3,000 asylum seekers have crossed the Alps into France.
The French authorities are not happy with such an influx of guests from the mountains, and are intensifying patrolling.
In April, new European far-right members of the Identity Generation group demanded the closure of the Eschel Isthmus, a 1,762-meter-high trail that serves as the main crossing point for illegal migrants from Italy to France.
Aymeric Kurte, spokesman for the movement: "We are exercising control in the border area.
And we also work with the local population, most of whom, by the way, support us.
We collect information about the guides, there is a whole network of them, we study what bypass routes migrants can travel.
And we're handing over all this data to the police.
In the last 15 days, we've hit the trail of 20 refugees.
The authorities were immediately informed.
Moreover, we have indicated exactly where to look for these people - they only have to come and detain them. "
Euronews: “Do you think you have the right to block people crossing the border?
They came here from far away, they brought a lot of things. ”
Aymeric Kurte, representative of the movement: "Of course, we are in our right.
We are conscious citizens, we want to protect our people.
I will say more, we want to protect the Europeans.
If the state does not care about us, we will organize our own squads.
We are defending our identity, our European identity. ”
A few days later we return to Clavier, on the Italian side.
To meet the workers and residents of the shelter "At Jesus'".
This house is one of the starting points for those trying to get to France.
Italian and French volunteers work here, they select candidates for the crossing of the Alps from among the refugees flocking to the treasured isthmus from all over Italy.
To continue the journey, people need to at least eat and rest.
Volunteers are aware of the risks involved in helping illegals.
However, they claim that the police themselves violate the laws of the Volunteer shelter, anonymously: "Usually, asylum seekers can, even without documents, come to the border of another state and declare that they need protection.
So when people try to cross the border in a normal way, for example, by bus, they are stopped and sent here.
Here they are forced to look for workarounds, mountain roads, often dangerous.
Migrants don ’ t want to be returned to Italy. ”
We meet a young man who is preparing to make the transition.
The second day: the day before, he was walking with his younger brother, they were stopped by the police.
My younger brother missed...
Euronews: "And if the police turn you around today, will you still try?"
Refugee: "Of course I will.
As long as it takes.
I don ’ t want to live in Italy.
Language is a real problem for me. ”
(Later we learn that our interlocutor was still on the French side).
The task of the maximum for migrants is to reach the city of Briançon, 15 kilometers from the border.
Here, as well as on the Italian side, there is also a shelter - the first refuge for those who crossed the Alps.
We meet a group of six men exhausted by the road.
Euronews: "What time did you leave Italy?" Refugee: "At 9 am.
And you came here at three o'clock, all the time on foot...
You can't go the normal way, you have to hide all the time. Look, I'm wet and dirty.
Falling all the time.
It wasn't easy. "
In the reception center, people are waiting for hot food, dry clothes, first aid.
It was organized by dozens of volunteers.
Among them, there are those who take migrants to live with them.
This is a temporary measure, most refugees will then go to other French cities to officially apply for asylum.
Anne Chavannes, a volunteer at the shelter: “We welcome those who have just arrived in France.
Someone needs to go to the hospital, we take them there, then deal with transport, someone buy train tickets, someone help to contact relatives.
For example, if a refugee has close people in France, he can go there.
You know, these people have the right to seek asylum in our country.
However, it is becoming increasingly difficult to do so.
Refugees need moral support, they live in constant stress of fear of arrest.
We can ’ t promise them anything. ”
The shelter actively helps Justin, he is from Cameroon.
The man formally applied for asylum seven months ago.
His situation is unstable: the first European country to accept Justin was Italy, and according to the rules of the Dublin Convention, the authorities of other European countries have the right to send him there. "- Justin, a refugee:" People probably think that we have a wonderful life here.
But instead, I would prefer to stay at home, with my family, with my son, with loved ones.
When I left, I had a good reason. ”
The shelter is designed for 20-25 people, in fact, there are constantly lunch, about a hundred refugees are treated here.
It's no secret to anyone in Briançon that the center helps illegal immigrants.
The locals are showing amazing solidarity.
Joel Preveau is one of the leaders of the shelter.
He is outraged that there is no place in France to receive people who are just preparing to apply for asylum.
Joël Preveau, head of the shelter: "It is not up to the police to decide whether it is legal to ask for asylum.
We have a special department that deals with such issues.
It is the local experts who consider the applications of refugees, make decisions.
People are waiting for a verdict for a long time, they need to stop somewhere.
France should consider the conditions for the admission of such applicants.
Since the state is not in a hurry to help visitors, we do it - volunteers.
But that's not really our job.
Especially when it comes to minors: when we make them in the center, we break the law.
Where to put them? "
In the hands of local volunteers - 23 minors.
Together they go to the police station, warning that they will not leave until the children are registered.
That will allow them to claim a roof over their heads and other bonuses.
The law obliges the authorities to quickly deal with the affairs of minor immigrants, but in fact, many wait for the treasured stamp for weeks.
Desperate, the volunteers and their wards set up camp right at the commissariat.
Christophe Bruno, volunteer: “We will wait, we hope that the children will not have to be taken to the orphanage again.
How much can I do? "
Expectation and determination bear fruit: by the end of the day, 18 of the 23 children were sent at the expense of the authorities to the city of Gap, where their fate will be taken care of by the local authorities.
We go to a meeting in the technical school of Briançon where we get acquainted with Movado. The young man was saved by local residents, he was lost in the mountains.
A couple from Brianson invited the young man to live in his village 20 kilometers from the city.
Movado, refugee: "These are very nice people. Really.
That's how they take care of me.
Here in the lyceum arranged.
Of course, I am not their son, but they treat me kindly.
They became my second mom and dad. ”
In the house of the spouses Yves and Fanfan, the young man finally found peace.
He was cured of frostbite, helped to correctly and quickly apply for asylum.
Three other young refugees live in the family, including Fusseini from Mali.
Behind the children - a hike in the Sahara, a prison in Libya, then - a dangerous journey through the Mediterranean Sea, Italy, the mountains, the transition to France.
Fanfan Guibo, the hostess of the house: "As long as they are all right.
But how long it will last.
For today, yes, I can say that they are all well.
What will happen tomorrow?
Laws are changing, and in a few months the rules for accepting migrants will be tightened.
And what will happen to our clients?
“With young refugees? ”
Yves Massé, the owner of the house: “They feed us with their energy, their hope.
You know, their will, their perseverance is contagious. "
At 19, Movado dreams of becoming a plumber.
Staying in France, getting a job...
It all depends on the response of the authorities.
Movado, a refugee: “I don ’ t feel free.
I live here, and I don't have any papers.
We have to wait for an answer.
If it works out, I'll get the papers, fine.
And if I get rejected, I have to challenge the decision, it will take time again.
I think about it all the time, I hope, of course, that I will succeed.
We need to act slowly, step by step. ”
Eve and Fanfan found lawyers to enlist legal support for their charges.
However, this is not a guarantee of success.
Fanfan Giibo, the owner of the house: “I think today the main thing is that the guys again believe in themselves.
It will give them strength.
And then maybe fate will smile.
That's all I can say. "
Yves Masse, the owner of the house: "There is so much talk and write about the hospitality, the elbow feeling of the inhabitants of the Alps.
It is even ridiculous when we compare our actions with the position of the authorities hostile.
Of course, we are disappointed and outraged. ”
Disillusioned and outraged, as did dozens of refugees and locals gathered near the Durance River, where the body of a deceased Nigerian refugee was found.
Benoit Ducos, mountain guide: “Now we will not be able to safely drink water from our sources, calmly walk through the mountains, because we know that here, in these places, our refugee friends have died and are dying.
They fled from persecution like beasts driven away. ”

French President vows not to allow new “jungle ” of refugees in Calais
|
French President Emmanuel Macron promises that his country will no longer allow the creation of another camp with illegal migrants as an example of an unauthorized camp in the French city of Calais, which was known as the “Jungle ”, and from which all migrants were taken out in October 2016.
"Under no circumstances will we allow another 'Jungle' here," Macron said during a visit to Calais.
He also said that the French government intends to put pressure on the UK authorities to make more efforts to overcome the problem of refugees who are looking for opportunities to cross the English Channel by the Eurotunnel railway tunnel and get from French Calais to the UK.
Macron plans to hold talks with London to deepen cooperation between law enforcement agencies of the two countries in order to combat illegal migration through the city of Calais, as well as to ensure that Britain allocates more funds for the development of the city.
At the same time, the French president assured that Paris is doing everything to prevent illegal migrants from entering the UK.
According to Macron, “Calais is not a back door to England. ”
On Thursday, January 18, there will be a summit meeting between the UK and France, at which Macron intends to call on British Prime Minister Theresa May to amend the Le Touquet agreements and start doing more to share the burden associated with the migration of refugees through Calais.
According to an agreement concluded in 2003 between France, the United Kingdom and Belgium, known as the Le Touquet Agreement, border control of persons who travel through Eurotunnel from France to the United Kingdom is carried out in the city of Calais.
Thus, migrants, who London refuses to enter British territory, became a headache for France.
French police regularly disperse spontaneous camps of migrants who come to Calais in the hope of getting to the UK by jumping and hiding in cargo containers that are heading there from continental Europe through the Channel Tunnel.
First of all, this route is used by people from Afghanistan and countries of East Africa.

MEPhI told about the prospects of the artificial sun of China
|
In 2020, Chinese scientists will launch a new experimental fusion reactor HL-2M as part of the EAST project.
Such installations are sometimes called "artificial Sun" - they undergo the same processes as in the core of our star.
About the prospects of the Chinese project and in general about the technology of thermonuclear fusion "360" talked with Professor George Tikhomirov - Deputy Director of the Institute of Nuclear Physics and Technology of NRNU MEPhI.
The head of the Southwest Institute of Physics, Duan Xuzhu, previously said that the HL-2M reactor will be able to heat the plasma to a temperature above 200 million degrees Celsius.
The previous record was also set in China: a year ago in another experimental tokamak EAST - HT-7U - the peak temperature was 100 million degrees.
Tokamak HT-7U project EAST Tokamak is an abbreviation of "toroidal chamber with magnetic coils".
The name was invented by Soviet physicists in the 1950s, at the same time the first experiments were carried out to retain heated plasma with the help of powerful magnets.
Thermonuclear reactions are constantly on the Sun.
In the core, whose temperature reaches 15 million degrees Celsius, hydrogen is converted into helium.
A huge amount of energy is released.
To recreate the process on Earth, it is necessary to heat the hydrogen isotopes deuterium and tritium to a temperature above 100 million degrees Celsius.
At this point, the gas becomes plasma.
Such temperatures are needed to achieve a higher density of energy release than on the Sun, Tikhomirov explained.
The sun is very large, and therefore the energy it gives is enough for everyone.
And on Earth, we create conditions to a lesser extent.
If the conditions are close to solar, it does not allow us to use them for practical needs.
Georgy Tikhomirov Deputy Director of the Institute of Nuclear Physics and Technology of the National Research Nuclear University MEPhI In addition, for a functional thermonuclear reactor (which would give more energy than spent) it is necessary to hold the plasma inside the tokamak for a long time and obtain high-density plasma.
According to Tikhomirov, the Chinese installation HL-2M “in some respects will surpass the existing ones, ” but“ there is no breakthrough in this. ”
The deputy director of the Institute of Nuclear Physics and Technology recalled that the largest thermonuclear reactor in the world, ITER, is being built at the Cadarache Research Center in France.
This international project involves the EU, Japan, Russia, the United States, China, India and South Korea.
The reactor, which is planned to be completed by 2025, the Chinese “can not surpass ”, the professor is sure.
Most likely, they will create some compact small installation, where they will achieve good plasma parameters.
But there will be no breakthrough in energy.
Georgy Tikhomirov, deputy director of the Institute of Nuclear Physics and Technology of the National Research Nuclear University MEPhI, added that in Russia thermonuclear research "is developing in various directions."
“We will soon launch the T-15, our tokamak, there are other installations.
We are also part of the ITER program.
This topic is known, and we are not inferior to the Chinese here, ” Tikhomirov said.
The professor noted that the launch of a thermonuclear power plant has great prospects, because the fuel that can be used is deuterium "very much in the oceans."

Russia to build fast neutron nuclear reactor in China
|
Russia will build a demonstration nuclear reactor on fast neutrons in China, as well as take part in the construction of a nuclear power plant, Russian President Vladimir Putin said after talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing.
The Russian leader noted the format of cooperation between the countries in the nuclear sphere.
According to him, Moscow does not work so closely with any state.
Putin added that advanced Russian developments will also be involved in the Chinese lunar program, RIA Novosti reports.
On June 7, the head of the state corporation Rosatom Alexey Likhachev and the head of the state energy administration of China Nura Bekri signed an agreement on the construction of four new blocks of nuclear power plants in China.
Two of them, according to the agreement, will be created at the site of the Tianwan nuclear power plant, the rest at the Xudapu station.
In addition, Russia will build a demonstration reactor and will supply thermal blocks for the space program of the PRC.
On June 8, Putin and Xi Jinping will travel to the Chinese city of Qingdao.
There starts the summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), which includes Russia, China, India, Pakistan, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan.
The visit of the Russian leader to the PRC will last until June 10.
Following the talks, Moscow and Beijing signed a statement, according to which, in particular, the parties agreed to make every possible effort to preserve the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) on Iran ’ s nuclear program.

Physicist estimated the chances of China creating an “artificial sun ”
|
Deputy Director of the Institute of Nuclear Physics and Technology of the National Research Nuclear University MEPhI Georgy Tikhomirov spoke about the prospects of the Chinese project to create an “artificial sun ”.
The expert believes that the Chinese installation HL-2M “in some respects will surpass the existing ”, but“ there is no breakthrough in this, ” reports the TV channel “360 ”.
“Most likely, they will create some compact small installation, where they will achieve good plasma parameters, ” the professor said.
He added that the largest fusion reactor in the world, called ITER, is being built in France.
Russia is also involved in its creation.
Earlier it became known that Chinese scientists in 2020 will launch a new experimental fusion reactor HL-2M as part of the EAST project.
It was noted that the processes in it are similar to those that occur in the core of the Sun.
It is assumed that the reactor will be able to heat the plasma to a temperature above 200 million degrees Celsius.
The Laboratory of X-ray Astronomy of the Sun of the Physical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences (FIAN) reported in September that in the summer of 2019 there was not a single flash that could affect the Earth.
According to experts, the decrease in the number of flares is not dangerous, but may indicate some serious changes in the Sun, which can affect its luminosity, radiation spectrum and ultimately the climate.
Earlier, scientists told about the unexpected transformation of the Sun after death.
It turned out that after its death, it will turn into a solid superdense crystal, and not into a ball of liquid plasma, as previously thought.

Russian expert assessed the chances of China to create an “artificial Sun ”
|
In China, most likely, they will create a small installation that can heat the plasma, but this will not give a breakthrough in the energy sector.
So the desire of scientists from China next year to launch an "artificial Sun" commented Deputy Director of the Institute of Nuclear Physics and Technology NRNU MEPhI Georgy Tikhomirov.
It is assumed that in the HL-2M reactor, which is planned to be built in China, the same processes will occur as in the core of the star.
The plant will be able to heat the plasma to a temperature above 200 million degrees Celsius.
Tikhomirov stressed that in Russia thermonuclear research "is developing in various directions."
In addition, the country is involved in the construction of the world's largest reactor ITER, which is being built in France.
“This topic is well-known, and we are not inferior to the Chinese here, ” the expert noted.
In addition, Tikhomirov said that the name of the reactor "tokamak" was coined by Soviet physicists in the 1950s.
This is short for “toroidal chamber with magnetic coils. ”

The first Ukrainian comic “Chronicles of Uptown ” about the fight against corruption: an interview with the creator
|
“Uptown Chronicles ” is the first Ukrainian comics about the fight against corruption.
These are stories about ordinary people who decided on their own and by any means to end bribery.
We talked with the author and creator of “Chronicles ” Mikhail Pimenov about the goals of the comic, parallels with the real situation and how to change the attitude of Ukrainians to corruption.
Everyone in this country fights corruption, everyone hates it fiercely, but at the same time, studies show that the level of tolerance to manifestations of corruption is very high.
As it is expressed: when conducting a survey on the topic “Do you agree to inform about cases of corruption? ”, only 3% of people give a positive answer.
Because, firstly, they simply do not believe that it will bring results, and secondly, it is culturally not welcome and equates to snitching.
In the beginning, I came up with a name, characters, images.
Then I started writing them in more detail.
It is very important to create a legend for every hero.
If you look at how the same Marvel or DC do, each hero almost has a biography written.
We have released a number of special issues (now there are three of them) dedicated to each hero separately, we have revealed a little bit their nature, who they were, what their motivation is, why they act this way.
The heroes of the comic are looking for and punishing corrupt officials.
In every story, a corrupt official has a 50-50 choice.
For example, a person sells a placebo instead of drugs, people die.
The heroes give him two syringes: in one - a placebo, in the other - poison.
If he chooses the first, he will survive, and if he chooses the second, he will die.
Well, of course, in my stories, they pick the wrong one at the beginning.
But by and large, the result is in any case, because even after surviving, a person spreads fear.
The main purpose of the comic is, in fact, a change in public attitudes.
This is not a call to action, a person in himself must form intolerance to corruption, so that everyone personally is disgusted with it.
About parallels with reality I did not pursue the goal of depicting anyone specifically.
We can try to apply the image to some real characters.
Corruptors in our country are declared only from the back, these are abstract characters, we can only draw parallels.
We say: “the heroes caught a corrupt official from the Ministry of Infrastructure, who was a rat in the construction of roads. ”
And then apply it to anyone.
Everyone has their own approach, some humorists stebut directly with names, someone draws parallels.
I have a lot more freedom of action, I can invent, I can hyperbolize, I can bring grotesque, I can bring even more blood.
It's all in my hands.
About Uptown In every city there is Downtown - this is the center - and Uptown - the outskirts of the city (sleeping bags), where ordinary people live, who every evening arrange "kitchen" wars, discussing how they would punish everyone, shoot, jail, punish and shoot again... they and the referees and judges, they know everything about everything, everyone can, do not trust anyone, hate everyone...
That ’ s how steam comes out!
Many people like the storyline, individual characters, many like Lynch, many like the Cleaner - an introvert and pathologist who helps to cover their tracks.
La Famme is a very interesting heroine, she is the only woman, it is like Harley Queen in Suicide Squad, she is very bright.
Many people like the style of the painting.
I was afraid that there might be comments like “Here we go again, all the same, we ’ ve all heard it and we know it doesn ’ t happen anyway ”, but kind of we avoided it.
At least because in the story you are reading, something is happening with some result.
You can say this: in the city of Aptown there is a result.
The readership is growing!
Recently, the “Book Arsenal ” was held, which Petro Poroshenko came to, he became interested in Ukrainian comics and bought the book“ Chronicles of Uptown ”.
There is an American school, there is a European school.
If you take the European – there is a French-Belgian school, which we chose.
What is its peculiarity: it is more detailed, you can peer into the picture, find some details, almost emotions.
About the team Designer and translator we have Ukrainians - Elena Gladka and Genik Belyakov.
Richard from Scotland is a writer and comic book writer, Georgios, Alkis and Costas are three Greeks, they are illustrators.
Initially, I contacted Georgios, we docked, and we succeeded.
He felt the heroes and here they came to life, from head to letters, references and then in illustrations.
My ambition is to adapt the comic to the script and turn it into an animated, serial or film product.
I can be a great visionary and ideological person, but you also need to be a professional.
Therefore, in order to make a script, you need to find a partner.
Imagine: on Netflix comes the series “Chronicles of Uptown ” – in my opinion, not bad.
The audience would be much larger, then my goal of achieving intolerance to corruption would have a completely different effect.
But you have to start somewhere.

Article of the day. Will Sobyanin be able to successfully lead the Crimea?
|
What is the connection between Sobyanin and Crimea?
Direct and very important, they need each other, but about this possible personnel decision in the second half of the post.
This idea opens up a wide corridor of possibilities and I am all for it.
But first a few words about the upcoming Moscow elections, which bother me with their predictability, municipal filter and silicone perfume.
The topic of the Moscow elections came to life again after history, when the figure of Konstantin Remchukov was approved for the post of head of Sobyanin ’ s election headquarters.
Is it the right choice of one and the decision of the other?
It is not for us to decide, but the feeling of precipitate and some hopelessness remains.
Everyone has their own motives for making this or that decision, but now it is clear that the story with Sobyaninshchina and Liksutovshchina in Moscow can be for a long time.
What do I personally do not like about what is happening in Moscow, as a resident and voter?
Moscow has become a soulless, painted monster.
Perhaps this is the lot of all world capitals, but I personally do not like this, as well as the “decision of the scoundrels ” who decided to expand and rock the city as far as the Kaluga region in favor of the construction complex.
Moscow drowned in labor migrants from Central Asia and we are told that without them we would have drowned in garbage.
Totally bullshit.
I have just returned from Smolensk, about which I am preparing the material.
Beautiful, clean and well-kept city.
There are no hordes of labor migrants, they are not there at all, but the city is clean and well-groomed, and the locals with whom I spoke tell that it is not so easy for them to get settled in Moscow, since there is a visiting migrant mafia, which does not particularly favor coming to earn extra money for residents of Russia in the Capital.
In simple terms, this is a powerful scheme to earn money and squeeze Russians, and in particular Muscovites from Moscow.
The second trouble for us citizens is total paid parking, the dominance of cameras and parking trons.
Officials of us mortals are trying to teach that in Moscow the car is luxury, atavism and everyone should ride on public transport, but at the same time they themselves are not particularly eager to get off their black German "cocksuckers", and not the cheapest.
It became impossible to move around the city by car, you are in the crosshairs of thousands of cameras, green Liksut crocodiles, and if you are crazy, then run to the concrete fence to rescue the car.
The list is long and I think a lot of people will agree with me.
Well, I do not want to ride around the city on a scooter, to which many of us are led...
I recently took a ride and …
I haven't even thought of a scooter like this yet.
With all this happiness, they are trying to give us parks, children's and sports grounds, in short, cheap glass beads, like primitive savages, but at the same time it is not bad to cook yourself and close friends throughout this story.
All my feelings and mood can be understood by a person who was born or grew up in Moscow, and the city is dear to him.
What these effective hardworking managers have done and are doing is not called a rape of the Capital, although we must be honest and admit that Moscow has changed, but the question is in which direction?
Konstantin Remchukov apparently has his own Capital and his interest in this story, no matter how beautiful and correct he chained it.
But what would Konstantin Vadimovich say if he lived in one of the sleeping areas and got on the Liksutovsky blue deer to the center on the map of Troika, standing for an hour at the stop, late to work and bruising his jacket in a daily crush in the morning and evening?
In the current public transport and its dense load, books are not particularly read, only if on the phone.
Sobyanin and Liksutov squeezed me out of Moscow, I am uncomfortable here, despite the equipped paths, parks and artificial trees with lighting.
All this is by definition due to Muscovites because of the inconveniences that we tolerate due to the capital status of our hometown.
I would very much like the capital to be moved to another region of Russia, and it would be right to change the location of the Russian capital at least once every 50-100 years, so that other regions would be pulled up.
But no, these fat cats are more interested in practicing with a saw in place, rather than developing Russia.
Of course, Moscow should correspond to the status of the Capital of Russia, there are no questions.
Moscow is pumped with money, paving slabs, migrants, granite curbs and the cult of personality of Sobyanin, such a modest guy who took, and unfolded Moscow after Luzhkov.
The question is where did I turn and whether it suits me, as a Muscovite born and raised here, what is happening in my hometown?
There is no unequivocal answer, as well as arguments that if it were not for Sobyanin, then the other would not have been able to do so.
I know that many of my Moscow friends agree with my opinion, but they will not hear us, and the state employees will vote as they should.
Sobyanin came to Moscow as an appointee on October 21, 2010, then won the elections against Navalny, but with such an administrative resource it would be strange if he did not win them.
There is no doubt that he will win this time, as these elections are initially uncompetitive and it does not matter who the chief of the election staff will be.
The figure of Remchukov needs Sobyanin to give shine to his company and expand the electorate in the liberal glade.
I think the guys agreed to the mutual interest of both.
These are quite pragmatic people and the word benefit is key here.
What do I want from a future mayor?
I want a lot, but at least three points. 1.
Stop the barbaric renovation and return Moscow to its former borders.
Stop the parking terror and free Moscow from the sign - "stop is prohibited" with the tow truck icon below, leaving paid parking only inside the Garden Ring.
In this case, the price of parking should not be higher than 100 rubles / hour and from 22.00 to 8.00 free.
Stop pumping Moscow with labor migrants from Central Asia, introducing a limit of no more than 7,000 people for Moscow.
Personally, I like Sobyanin as a person, but not as the Mayor of Moscow.
Recently, he said that the incompleteness of a number of projects motivates him for another mayoral term.
This is all so, he has been “nodding ” Moscow for 8 years, which is quite a decent period even for such a large city.
He ’ s cunning, he and his team have a completely different motivation, in my opinion.
If he laid a good foundation, as he himself assesses his work, then now a recommended member of his team or a supporter, supported by Muscovites, will be able to build a decent structure on this foundation without him.
If he considers himself a successful manager who is able to enter an unfamiliar territory and change it, then he has a direct road to the leadership of the Crimea.
I know that the Kremlin is stubbornly looking for a replacement for Sergei Aksyonov, since Crimea faces tasks of a different level after the opening of the bridge.
Of course, Crimea is not Moscow and not so fat, but the importance for Russia and the volume of tasks is quite comparable.
Let ’ s see how it works in one of the key Russian regions.
The climate in the Crimea will be better than in Moscow, and the sea is.
Many people from Siberia are moving to Crimea, so there will be no countrymen left.
Let him invite Konstantin Remchukov to the team and build a new Russian Crimea, especially he has all the necessary competencies for the development of territories, the demolition of shalmans, but only please without Liksutov.
Here I would be stuffed in the team of Sergei Semenovich, because I was tired of the inside of the Crimean culbites repainted cheating and the chances for the proper development of the Crimea are falling every day.
Alas, the Crimean Council of Ministers, the State Council and the company are unable to do anything but build up parks and embankments, and set pocket talking heads against public figures, who sang to Yanukovych, Tymoshenko and Poroshenko just yesterday, and now hang portraits of Putin and stock up on tricolors.
I recommend one of these heads.
If Vladimir Vasiliev was able to go to Dagestan, then why can't Sergei Sobyanin go to the Crimea?
It is necessary to go where the country needs more, and not to the group interests of comrades.
Even more so, he is still quite young, on June 21 he will be only 60 years old.
So come to the Crimea Sergey Semenovich and take your entire Moscow construction complex.
We will build a new Capital in the Crimea, the bridge and the new airport have been launched, we will transport here the patriotic State Duma, the Government and a bunch of other good things.
Cricket and that ’ s the main thing!
For me personally, the Day of Russia has acquired a special meaning with the return of the Crimea Home, to its native harbor.
Happy Russian Day!

Took off the wall and went unnoticed: in France, the day before the auction, the thief stole a picture of Renoir
|
In France, during the day of the auction, the famous painting of the artist Pierre Auguste Renoir “Portrait of a young blonde ” was stolen, Franceinfo writes.
The painting was stolen from an auction house in Saint-Germain-en-Laye, where it was to be auctioned on Sunday, October 1.
The publication writes that the thief simply removed the picture from the wall and left the building unnoticed when it was put up for review before the auction.
The canvas is estimated at 25-30 thousand euros.
As UNIAN reported earlier, in France, an image of a naked woman was found, which, according to experts, may be a sketch of the Mona Lisa by the artist Leonardo da Vinci.
It is noted that the image was made with the help of coal and known as “Mona Bath ” was considered the work of another artist, however, after conducting examinations, it was assumed that the author was da Vinci.

Die Presse: How Erdogan adjusts reality to himself
|
Susanne Gusten writes about this in the article “How Erdogan adjusts reality ”, published on the website of the newspaper Die Presse.
During their prime minister ’ s New Year ’ s address, the Turks must have fallen from their sofas.
In the new year, Turkey will also “play a peacemaking role in the region and in the world, a role for which it is known, ” Binali Yildirim promised his compatriots.
It will "defend its stable democracy and the rule of law," and its star will shine even brighter, so that "the whole world will talk about the achievements of our nation."
While the government talks about shining stars, Turkey is fighting against the PKK, and outside the country is mired in wars in two neighboring countries – Syria and Iraq.
Its cities are shaken by terrorist acts, so now, given the state of emergency, the rule of law is out of the question.
Under the cover of a state of emergency, the parliament in Ankara began a debate on Monday about the constitutional changes needed to establish the presidential system to which Recep Tayyip Erdogan is so eager.
After the adoption of the new system, the government promises the very skeptical citizens (as polls show) more stability and security.
At the same time, Erdogan since the beginning of the summer can rule by decree and without parliament, although he is unable to stop the wave of violence in the country.
The fact that Yildirim in such a situation can talk about democracy and world fame shows not only the loss of reality by the government.
It also demonstrates how difficult it is now for Turkish citizens to obtain reliable information.
Due to the paranoia of politicians, corrupt media and draconian censorship, many Turks wander through reality, as in a mirrored room – with crooked mirrors.
Politicians like Erdogan come up with alternative realities, without having to confirm them; they constantly pay attention to the national stock of knowledge.
The fact that the preacher Fethullah Gülen was accused of the attempted coup in July 2016 can be seen as a clear case that the investigative committee of the parliament was not going to interrogate key players – after all, the president has already found the culprit.
And the fact that the US, Europe and / or Israel are behind the PKK, Gülen and the Islamic State, as the government willingly claims, is hardly in doubt.
In other countries, politicians also deceive voters.
U.S. President-elect Donald Trump said several months ago that his predecessor, Barack Obama, founded the Islamic State, long before Erdogan made a similar accusation last week.
The difference is that Americans can get information from reputable sources.
In Turkey, many newspapers and television channels have long followed the presidential line – unless they are banned.
"Photorobot of a criminal," read the headline of one of the newspapers after the terrorist attack at an Istanbul nightclub on New Year's Eve - under the headline was a photo of US President Barack Obama.
And when the energy minister and Erdogan ’ s son-in-law Berat Albayrak justifies the constant power outages in Istanbul with “cyber attacks from the United States, ” newspapers report this quite seriously.
Few remaining opposition newspapers honestly make efforts, primarily the left-wing Evrensel and the civilian Cumhuriyet.
However, the opposition is also quite free to approach the truth, which does not make it an honor.
Prisoner journalist Ahmet Sik did not receive water for three days, the opposition media protested over the weekend.
But Sick wasn ’ t in danger — he just had to drink tap water because he wasn ’ t getting bottled water.
The biggest obstacle to the truth is the draconian censorship of the Internet, which is slowly cutting the Turks off from the outside world.
Thousands of websites and Twitter accounts of critical journalists in exile have been blocked.
For a long time, these locks could be relatively easily bypassed, but now the authorities are also blocking electronic loopholes - the country is gradually getting darker.

The world ’ s largest balloon to fly into the stratosphere will arrive in Buryatia
|
The world's largest balloon for flight to the stratosphere will fly to Buryatia Charitable Foundation of St. Luke won a presidential grant of 9.8 million rubles, these funds will implement the project of record flights on giant balloons As told TASS in the fund, within the framework of the project, sponsors will also build the world's largest balloon and make a unique stratospheric flight. into the stratosphere will be made from Russia, from the territory of the Caucasus.
And the prototype of the record-breaking thermal balloon "Russia" will soon make a number of unique flights to represent the Russian Federation as the world's largest country, which rightfully owns the great geographical glory of the discoverers of marine and terrestrial objects, - said TASS member of the board of the fund Rodion Shein.
According to Shein, the people ’ s project “Russia in search of meanings.
The laboratory of Fedor Konyukhov "is calculated until May 2019.
During this time, the company Cameron Balloons in the UK will complete the construction of the largest in the history of ballooning balloon "Russia" with a volume of 100 thousand cubic meters.
A record stratospheric flight to an altitude of 25 km is being prepared by a large team, which includes well-known balloonists, the best meteorologists, doctors, as well as a highly qualified flight launch team.
During the flight, several scientific studies will be carried out, the effectiveness of Russian innovative medical technologies and developments for the training of pilots will be checked. - The budget for this expedition is formed from the funds of the project partners, and within the framework of the application for a presidential grant is not requested, - he said.
A prototype of a record-breaking thermal balloon with a volume of 4 thousand cubic meters has already been built and made the first flights, it is twice as large as conventional balloons and also bears the name “Russia ”.
On May 6, 2018, he performed the first flight through the Kerch Strait in the history of aeronautics, thus marking the beginning of the project. - Piloting the prototype team member of the Foundation of St. Luke (Voino-Yasenetsky), President of the Federation of Aeronautics of the Stavropol Territory, navigator of the Armed Forces of the USSR Vitaly Nenashev, awarded a government award for flights in Antarctica, - explained Shein.
In the program of flights on the territory of the Russian Federation, the ascent over Elbrus and a flight through Baikal are indicated, and then - a flight from Russky Island to Vladivostok through the Peter the Great Strait.
Next, the thermal balloon will go abroad and in Bulgaria will perform a flight in the area of Mount Shipka, on the site of the military glory of the Russian people. - And after that, a flight through Mont Blanc will take place, during which the project participants will debunk the common opinion of the European layman that this mountain is the highest peak of Europe, and not the Russian Elbrus, - said Shein.
Also supported by the presidential grant, the project provides for the creation of a web portal, it is planned to shoot two large documentaries about the preparation of the stratospheric record and about Russia in the historical and modern context, to create additional accompanying video material.
The project team will also hold a round table in Moscow with the participation of Russian and foreign journalists, as well as creative meetings in several European countries to form a positive perception of the image of Russia and attract international attention to the project, TASS reports.

Vasily Lopata not only draws hryvnia, but also writes about them
|
Vasyl Lopata is a famous Ukrainian graphic artist and painter, Honored Artist of Ukraine, laureate of the Shevchenko State Prize, member of the national unions of artists and writers.
He issued Ukrainian hryvnia and a Ukrainian passport.
His works are kept in the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow, in the Museum at the Catholic University in Rome, in the Library of Congress in Washington, as well as in private collections in Italy, Great Britain, Canada, Russia, Switzerland, and the United States.
Mr. Lopata gave an interview to UNIAN, inviting correspondents to his art studio.
BEGINNING KRAVCHUK SAID TO STOP FROM MAZEPA, TO “DON ’ T TALK THE GOOSE ” – How did you know about me? – asks a cheerful elderly man with a smile, opening a window in the workshop.
I say that I read a lot about the artist who took part in the creation of Ukrainian money, passports... - What is the money?
I'll show you a few books so you know.
Although, money is, of course, a popular thing, - the artist says, looking for something on the shelves, sorting through books and finally proudly gives me a folio: “Taras Bulba ”, 2006 edition. - Here is my last book.
It's all a copyrighted work.
I think this is the best edition of “Taras Bulba ” for today.
You are not a “scribe. ”
Look! Look!
(It shows how to properly consider the book layout.)
They're not just bludgeoned pictures.
It ’ s all like a director.
Creating a book is like putting on a small one-man show, where the artist is not only an artist, but also an actor, because he plays the role of all the characters...
Here I wrote a book about the hryvnia.
(Shows his “Hopes and Disappointments, or Metamorphoses of the Hryvnia. ”)
It was a sign job.
A man without money can be imagined, and a state without money is not a state.
And we had such a time when coupons went - not money, but something incomprehensible.
The question is to create your own currency.
And I was chosen by fate to make our version of money. – So you were invited to make out hryvnia?
It was a competitive offer.
Six artists made sketches, and my sketch was recognized as the best.
I worked on the images that are depicted on the hryvnia, and this is the most important detail.
I wanted our money to be national.
No one knew how to make them.
It's hard work... and expensive.
It is like one of the symbols of statehood – next to the flag, anthem, coat of arms.
It's a business card on the international stage.
We want our currency to be beautiful.
Of course, if beauty depended on its cost – it would be generally ideal.
I wanted them to have national features - our heroes, on the back - an architectural landscape, somehow connected with the life of the hero, and everything is decorated with Ukrainian ornament.
So that a person who would take our hryvnia in his hands for the first time, who would know nothing about Ukraine, would still learn something from one banknote.
And having all six banknotes (at first there were six nominations), I would know even more.
- What was the hardest thing about this job, and did you have any experience in making something like that? - There was no experience.
Where would he come from?
We were not lucky with statehood.
Remember the history of Ukraine.
Only under three or four princes of the period of Kievan Rus coins were minted – under Vladimir, Yaroslav the Wise, his son and nephew.
Scientists have investigated that hryvnia were minted in Russia during 35-40 years. No more.
The Roman Empire had a millennial history of coinage.
Since very few coins have survived, historians have concluded that they did not fulfill the function of full-fledged money.
These were memorial signs that, according to Byzantine law, certified the creation of a new Christian state.
After all, the coin began to be minted under Vladimir, who adopted Christianity.
In 1240, Kiev died from the invasion of the horde.
In fact, the state has disappeared.
Then there were Lithuanians, Poles, Muscovites.
Bohdan Khmelnitsky seems to have revived statehood, but as far as I know, the coins were not minted.
There was no question of paper money at the time.
And only in 1918, the UNR introduced a monetary unit - the hryvnia, by the way.
I thought about that money because it was so beautiful.
In the creation of these hryvnia took part the famous graphics – and Sereda, and Krichevsky.
But the brilliant schedule Georgy Narbut made the best hryvnia.
It's a rarity now.
The originals, unfortunately, did not survive, they were burned under Soviet rule.
This money is admired by me as an artist, a professional.
How filigree it is.
It was, however, easier for him, because it is easier to plan and perform so that no one interferes, it is easier.
When I did, there were many committees, and each member of each committee made some remarks.
They were unprofessional.
They were politicians, deputies of the Verkhovna Rada.
Then the National Bank joined.
The first head of the National Bank was Vladimir Matvienko – a famous economist, writer and songwriter.
And he, as a talented person, understood that you do not need to reap on the artist, but more to trust him.
And he gave the opportunity to make creative portraits, because no images of either Vladimir or Yaroslav the Wise practically survived.
We do not even know if Mazepa really looked like this, the image of which came to us. – And who exactly determined which portraits will be depicted on the bills?
How did the process go? - It was collegial.
Everything was democratic and transparent.
The committees met.
As an artist, I was present.
First, the question arose on what principle to select personalities.
We decided that it is necessary to select such figures from our history, who are most involved in the creation of statehood.
Since our statehood began from the princely era, we discussed the figures of princes.
I proposed to start this series with Princess Olga, but it was not approved, because there were few nominations – only six.
So we started with Vladimir the Great.
This is probably true, because he is one of the most famous princes, ranked as saints, because he introduced Christianity in Russia.
His son Yaroslav was also a genius.
He created a masterpiece of architecture of the ancient Kiev period - Hagia Sophia.
Then the Cossack times began.
The person of Bohdan Khmelnitsky did not cause any objections.
This is our most glorious hetman, and he, we can say, revived statehood.
But with the image of Mazepa there were problems.
Leonid Kravchuk, who at the time headed BP, said that for now it is necessary to refrain so as not to “tease geese ”.
He hinted at the Moscow government because we were still in the Soviet Union.
After all, the hryvnia was created in April 1991, and Independence was proclaimed in August.
No one knew then how things would turn out.
And they also said about Grushevsky - let him be a little in the plans.
The image of Shevchenko, of course, did not cause objections, as did Franko and Lesya Ukrainka. – Do you still participate in the design of new bills?
After all, not so long ago the 500-hryvnia banknote was introduced into circulation? – Now you do not participate.
But I'll let you know...
(Again, he pulls out his book “Hopes and Disappointments, or Metamorphoses of the Hryvnia ” of the 2000 edition and shows sketches of a 500-hryvnia banknote depicting Grigory Skovoroda and the Kyiv-Mohyla Academy.)
They changed it, but they took my idea.
In the summer of 1992, I presented Vadim Getman, then the chairman of the National Bank, with these sketches of 500 hryvnia bills.
But his tragic fate...
In addition, he said that we will not have inflation, we may not need such nominations.
But he took them.
And I was surprised when these notes were issued last year.
My idea is...
However, as for me, my image of the Frying Pan is more interesting, and these hryvnia are more artistic.
What about Ukrainian passports?
Did you also participate in their creation?
Yes, I issued a diplomatic passport in 1991 and the following year – a general passport, which is now changing.
There was an image of the Verkhovna Rada - on the back page.
It was replaced by a flag.
I was praised by a musketeer, and I decided to write more - you have been a member of the National Union of Artists since 1971, and in 2006 you also became a member of the National Union of Writers.
Do you feel the need to take literature seriously?
You know, it was a long time ago.
I am a book artist by profession.
And to illustrate the book, and especially our classics, you need to be aware of it.
I illustrated “Kobzar ”,“ Taras Bulba ” – books that have been illustrated many times.
Therefore, to make your own version on the topics of these brilliant books, you need to read very carefully.
I have illustrated 75 books.
I am a careful reader.
For example, Oles Gonchar asked to illustrate his novel “Praporonostsi ”.
I have read it five times.
And at first I refused, I did not dare, because it was such a famous book.
It is now a landmark for Ukrainian literature.
Perhaps, somewhere subconsciously, I studied the literary style.
I have not graduated from any literary faculty.
I am self-taught in this regard.
Why was I drawn to the pen?
Because I used the pen often as a means of drawing.
Ink, pen, paper - these are artistic means.
But, probably, every person has a period when there is some nostalgia for the past, especially when you are in distant lands.
It so happened that I was not on the territory of Ukraine for six months, and it affected me so much.
Nostalgia is either such a disease, or a state of mind when you think only about your land, past years, and it does not give you peace, does not allow you to work or live - nothing.
I fell asleep and saw a movie about my life, especially my childhood.
As one of the famous said: “Every artist carries his childhood in his pocket. ”
I would say, also in my heart, because all my life I draw my inspiration, some details from the time of childhood.
But there's one more thing.
The visual arts have a certain boundary.
Here is, say, how to depict by means of painting or graphics, how the smell of an unheated oven or the noise of the wind outside the window, a storm, rain, knocking down overripe apples or pears, how they fall to the ground...
Or as a branch of viburnum knocks on the window or as a rooster sings in the morning.
Literature is a means of learning, and we consider it not only as an aesthetic pleasure.
I decided to write for myself.
I wanted to capture moments from my own life.
I didn ’ t think it would be a literary work.
I just wrote short memories – a paragraph, two, somewhere it was added up, it was not systematized.
When there was enough of it, he began to disassemble the pieces of paper, this began to grow into some kind of story, albeit without a canonical structure: the beginning, the climax, the denouement, the ending, the epilogue.
This is just such a mosaic.
It's a mosaic of my life.
These episodes are like broken glass.
And when you look through the kaleidoscope, they make up the pattern of the road of life.
I made drawings - the house where I was born, the trees, the storm, the thunderstorm, the poplars, my fellow villagers...
(He flips through the pages of his autobiographical story “Desya na dnі moho sertsya ”).
I am a writer, and I am a writer, and I am a writer, and I am a writer.
I wrote the pen and drawings, and the story itself.
And then she received approving reviews from Yuri Mushketik.
It kind of cheered me up.
I picked up and wrote the second book.
She was also interested.
Perhaps because the post-war years, hungry childhood somehow were not described in our literature. - They say that talented people are talented in everything.
You are both an artist and a writer.
What other talents have you found?
Maybe you have a musician hiding?
I don't have that.
I love music and thankfully my wife is a musician.
She introduced me to professional music.
We often go to concerts, to the opera, to the theater.
I can't imagine myself without music.
When I work, the background always sounds Vivaldi, Mozart, Bach, Beethoven and our folk songs, our classics.
This background helps me think, dream, sharpens my creative attention.
THE ARTIST IN EVERY PICTURE IMAGES YOURSELF – You are called a classical artist.
What do you think of modern postmodernism?
Is content or form more important to you? – This is the eternal question: “What? ” or“ How? ”
I think no one will give an exact answer, which is more important – form or content.
In my opinion, it would be ideal to have a great content in great form.
But this does not mean that all realisms, dadaisms, surrealisms and other “-isms ” must be discarded.
I was lucky enough to be in Spain – in the city where Picasso ’ s genius was born, and another genius – Dali.
I saw their works from the earliest years (it seems that Picasso ’ s works are preserved in the museum from the age of 5) until the last period of life.
Here's what's interesting.
He was first a powerful realist and then a powerful modernist.
But from time to time, no matter what the advantage, he returned to a realistic drawing.
And he did it brilliantly.
This he owned at the level of Raphael and Leonardo.
And modern modernists jump over the initial period of mastering the drawing.
After all, drawing is the basis of fine art.
It seems to me that no matter how cool the techniques are, if there is no mastery of the drawing, there is no artist.
I am a man of my age, and I have my own preferences.
I love storytelling, I love to illustrate classics, especially Ukrainian heroic ones.
And “The Word about Igor ’ s regiment ”, and Shevchenko, and Gogol.
I like to paint portraits.
I created 52 portraits of my mother.
I do not understand how to do this in an abstract manner, some kind of cubism.
I love what I love... - You have created more than 700 works of art.
And if you were offered to paint a picture of your life, so that it was on it? – I actually began the picture of my life.
Here are two books (God willing, I would create a third, would be a triptych).
(Again he shows the drawings in his autobiographical books.)
I am in my mother ’ s arms, then a small one sitting on the gate near my rural house, etc.
It would be the canvas of my life.
That would be the most accurate portrait.
In every work there is a part of my soul.
They say about Leonardo that the Gioconda looks like him young.
There is another example.
I studied at the Art Institute, and so we draw a model or a model...
There were eight of us in the group.
And when we exhibit all the works, there are different people depicted there.
And you can see the features of the artist who drew this model.
It is done on the subconscious.
Mother's image...
My mother had such an expressive face that she reminded me of the portraits of late Rembrandt, these women of his venerable age.
She was so interesting that I often used her image as the heroine of the works of Shevchenko, Franko, Lesya Ukrainka, Lina Kostenko.
AUTUMN GOES ME TO AMERICA - YOU'RE GONNA FLY TO SAN FRANCISCO.
You once said that Ukraine gives you strength, and it is possible to work most fruitfully in America.
Why does that happen? - Absolutely.
Autumn is driving me away.
It has to do with health.
Besides, my wife's on the payroll.
I join her, I am there these cold months, because asthma does not tolerate this weather - I feel bad.
I can work there.
Because I don't have a social circle like here.
Here I do exhibitions, communicate, engaged in many programs, so there is not enough time for work - I am inspired.
I was in Ternopil region - there were Shevchenko days, in Ivano-Frankivsk region - there celebrated the 100th anniversary of the birth of one of the heroes of the UPA Melnik, then I went to Chernihiv region - this is my homeland...
I carry a lot of Ukraine with me in the shower.
And I would like to express it somehow or in a word, or in a drawing. – Did you want to emigrate?
After all, you have a daughter and a wife there... - Never in your life!
I am a 100% Ukrainian citizen!
“How did you manage to become an honorary citizen of two Canadian cities at once – Winnipeg and Brandon? – Well, it ’ s not just me.
We had a group of artists – Mikhail Storozhenko, Oleksa Mishchenko and myself.
The three of us drove an exhibition.
They represented Ukrainian art in those places.
And there is a big Ukrainian crowd.
They say that a person can forever look at three things: how fire burns, how water flows, and how another person works.
Is there a picture you can look at forever?
When I am separated from Ukraine, I have several famous reproductions...
For example, illustrations to “Aeneid ” Kotlyarevsky our brilliant Narbut.
Then I really like the auto-illustration of Taras Grigorievich to his poem “Katerina ”.
I like Krichevsky ’ s triptych “Family ”.
I never get bored watching these works.
They always inspire me to be creative.
If I have something not glued, I look at them and really gain strength.
I also bring literature with me.
I like to read Grigor Tyutyunnik, our poets – Talalay, Lina Kostenko, Drach, Vingranovsky, Rylsky. – And remember your first drawing? – Oh, yes!
I remember!
This may not be the first, but it is a story that has been remembered.
In the first book of my memoirs, I talk about it.
When there was, as they say, a barefoot childhood, and there were no shoes or clothes, I sat on the stove.
The grain was dried there, and I often sat in this grain myself, because my mother and grandmother were housewives on the street, and my older brother Andrei was in school.
There was nothing to paint and nothing to paint.
And I painted a horse and a rider on the wall with charcoal.
I thought it was beautiful and I was waiting for the first recognition.
I was 4 or 5 years old.
Mom scolded me because there was no chalk to whitewash the walls...
It was a failed attempt.
For as long as I can remember, I ’ ve always painted something.
My answer is banal...
I think every artist will tell you the same thing.
All children are originally artists.
And you must have painted.
And then we choose different roads... or we choose the roads, I don't know what's right...

Unique ITER equipment delivered from Russia to France
|
For the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER), which is being built in France, Russia has supplied superconducting strands.
Thus, our country has fully fulfilled its obligations under one of the most important agreements in this megaproject.
"Poloidal field superconductors for the magnetic system of the future installation were fully manufactured and delivered to the International Organization of ITER," the Russian design center said in a statement. - Superconducting electromagnetic system is one of the key and most expensive ITER systems.
An agreement on the manufacture and supply of a superconductor intended for the manufacture of poloidal field coils was signed in 2009.
To fulfill Russia's obligations under this agreement, a special production was organized on the territory of the Chepetsk Mechanical Plant (Glazov, Udmurtia).
The superconductor for ITER is a superconducting cable tightened in a metal sheath, consisting of strands - a unique composite product containing about 5 thousand thinnest superconducting fibers.
Strands and cables themselves were made in Russia, and the conductor sheath, cable tightening and compression were made by European partners.
As noted in the message, this is the second of 25 systems included in the scope of Russian responsibility, the manufacture of which the Russian side has successfully completed.
This is confirmed by the official protocol of the International Organization ITER.
The main goal of the whole project is to demonstrate the possibility of obtaining thermonuclear energy on an industrial scale.
The first plasma at ITER is expected in 2025.

Design thinking: a tribute to trends or an effective tool for solving problems?
|
In the spring of this year, a free 4-week marathon on design thinking was held in Novosibirsk, which was aimed at business representatives wishing to master this tool.
What is design thinking, whether it can be considered a fashion trend, which will come to naught after a while, or whether it is a tool, the demand and prevalence of which will only grow, - understood "Continent Siberia".
Design thinking is a methodology for solving engineering, business and other problems, based on a creative, not analytical approach, and focused primarily on the interests of the user.
In a situation of any uncertainty, tools and methodologies that give step-by-step instructions for a systematic solution of a particular problem are always more in demand.
That is why tools such as Lean (Toyota Productions System), Scrum, Agile, are finding an increasing number of adherents.
In recent years, interest in such a tool as design thinking has grown significantly in Russian business.
One of the main adherents of this approach was banks, in particular Sberbank, receptive to all new Western trends in the field of management, as well as telecom operators, in particular Beeline and Tele2.
If we try to briefly denote the essence of design thinking, it can be defined as the development of solutions taking into account the requirements of the customer, user needs, market opportunities and buyers.
That is, this methodology is at the intersection of customer needs, company capabilities and available technologies.
At first glance, this is nothing new and fundamentally different from the usual, classical approaches to decision-making.
However, if you dig deeper, you can see the fundamental differences.
Quite often in business you can find cases when a company invests significant resources in the development of a new product, releases it to the market, and then suddenly it turns out that the market does not need it.
Moreover, in this case, we can talk about both small start-up companies and large and experienced market players, for example, the same Yandex, which failed to restart the Kinopoisk project.
Companies are certainly starting to figure out what they did wrong.
But often at first glance, problems are not detected.
Focus groups were conducted, customer survey was carried out, there was an element of visionary and analysis of new trends...
At the same time, it turns out that in focus groups, the company ’ s employees heard what they wanted to hear, and the respondents said what was expected of them.
Each side has its own reality and its own interpretation of this reality.
And it turns out that both representatives of the company and respondents touch on areas that are known to them.
But at the same time, the so-called blind zone remains – something that is known to respondents, but not known to company representatives.
Finally, there is something that neither the company nor the respondents know – this is an unknown zone.
The reason for such differences in perception and interpretation is that each person has his own beliefs and experiences.
At the same time, building communications with consumers, companies most often appeal to the user experience.
For example, if we are talking about a telecom operator, he most often asks customers how they consume the Internet, the services of which communication provider they use, etc.
At the same time, a person ’ s life experience is always broader and includes more and more aspects.
For example, in the mentioned case, the operator may ask the client whether he often changes his place of residence, and how in such cases he chooses the service operator.
Design thinking is based on life experience.
That is, in this case, it offers not to dwell on the consumption of Internet services if you sell these services, but to look at the overall lifestyle of customers.
Not from the private to the general, but from the general to the particular.
In fact, design thinking provides a solution for the user, taking into account his tasks and needs in a situation of complexity, uncertainty, diversity.
This allows you to “pull ” the necessary information from the client ’ s head, even if he himself is not able to clearly formulate what exactly he needs.
KC Correspondent took part in one of the test sessions on design thinking held for the partners of the First Academy of Marketing.
Its goal was to answer a fairly general, but at the same time important question: “How can you make a difficult customer happy? ”
In order to realize this through design thinking, you need to go through five key stages (understanding, focus, solution, prototyping, test).
At the same time, the process is iterative, that is, you can always go back a step.
Therefore, at the beginning of the work it is impossible to predict and imagine what the result of the decision will be.
Returning to the task, it is worth noting that for the beginning, all participants were divided into teams of five people.
In order for the methodology to work most effectively, it is necessary that each team has people of different gender and age, different business experience, different life experience.
For example, if we are talking about a communication operator who holds a session on design thinking to identify the needs of subscribers, then the group should ideally be not only sales or marketing specialists, but also technical specialists or even just installers, because they communicate with end users.
If the team includes specialists of the same profile, it will be less likely that during the session they will come to a new decision, since they will most likely focus on the same points.
If the head of the company participates in the session, he should express an opinion at the end, so as not to influence other participants.
This organization of work in groups allows the head of the company to hear the problems of line personnel.
If we consider for example the restaurant business, then in many cases, relatively speaking, it is the watchmen who have the most complete information about the visitors of the institution.
These are valuable carriers of information that they may find unnecessary.
It is clear that they themselves can not dispose of it, work as marketers and translate these observations into a guide to action, but in the case of a properly formed team, this information will fall into the field of consideration.
As with Scrum, stickers play an important role in the design thinking process.
The technology of working with them could be tested on the example of the simplest question about what quality in interaction with the team can be considered the most important.
To do this, each of the participants came up with and wrote one answer, pasted it on the board in the form of a sticker.
After all the answers were collected, within each of the teams, the most common options were identified, for which the participants then voted again.
This simple example can serve as an illustration of the methodology underlying design thinking.
It is about creating a space of ideas: all discoveries and thoughts are formed in one space of the team.
At the same time, all ideas and meanings are visualized on boards and stickers.
The information is coded by color and location.
Group work alternates with individual work.
And, what is important, at first any complexity is decomposed into parts (that is, divergence occurs), and then it is assembled into a single whole (that is, convergence occurs).
Returning to the work in teams, it is worth noting that the participants were tasked with developing a questionnaire for questioning problem customers.
Individual work consisted in the fact that according to this questionnaire, it was necessary to “count ” information from a difficult client.
At the same time, given that the design thinking session was of a test nature, and there was no opportunity to communicate with a real client, the participants interviewed each other for problematic clients.
The results were processed and structured.
Each member of the group was required to identify five identified problems with customers, which were put on the board of each group.
Next, it was necessary to distribute the results obtained by semantic groups (for example, personal characteristics, etc.).
For each group, a corresponding type of conditional client was invented.
Finally, at the end of the session, specific mechanisms for solving the problem for each type were developed, taking into account its characteristics.
This is the result of the test session.
Of course, design thinking, like any other tool, has boundaries of its application.
According to the founder of the First Academy of Marketing Irina Lastovka, the most justified application of design thinking in marketing (for example, for product prototyping) and in HR (for example, when solving the problem of team cohesion or its closer involvement in the project).
The use of design thinking is not justified when the problem is closed and its solution is on the surface.
Closed problems are understood where it is already clear how to approach the solution, and in fact it is only one, and the element of uncertainty is absent.
In turn, open problems imply the presence of a large number of potential solutions, a lack of understanding of how to solve the issue, etc.
This is where design thinking comes in.
Another condition for using the tool is the ability to recognize your mistakes, learn from them and accept other points of view.
Finally, it is also worth understanding that design thinking is formed at the intersection of three sets - values for business, utility for humans, the possibility of technology.
Therefore, if the technological level of development of the company or industry does not allow to fully realize the potential needs of customers, it is also worth taking into account.
It is also interesting that design thinking “fits ” with other popular tools.
Design thinking complements Agile methodology.
They collaborate with each other because Agile is a process-oriented approach and design thinking is about customer needs, a creative approach to identifying them.
Design thinking can be used not only to solve business problems, but also to solve problems of personal development and self-reflection.
Starting from the question “How to get married? ” and ending with“ Why can ’ t I earn 100 thousand rubles a month? ”
Summarizing, it can be noted that, as in any training, the main rule in design thinking is to apply the acquired knowledge in practice, and in a short time.
Even the use of individual elements of design thinking, according to Irina Lastovka, contributes to the solution of the task, since the approaches underlying the methodology provide a systematization of the issue.
One of the first active promoters of design thinking in Novosibirsk was the Novosibirsk marketer Serge Lucas, who previously also invented and brought to the market such landmark projects for the city as "Big SOSiska" (Siberian Food Company) and "Healthy SOSiska" (the company "Trading Square"), as well as the brand of lenses ADRIA.
Today, the First Marketing Academy, headed by Irina Lastovka, is actively distributing and implementing the technology.
According to her, design thinking as a discipline has even been included in the educational courses offered by the academy.
In addition, marketers in the format of a closed club solve various issues, using the methodology of design thinking, and present it to their customers.
In mid-March, a free 4-week marathon on design thinking was held in Novosibirsk, which was aimed at business representatives wishing to master this tool.
On average, about 20 people participated in each session, so about 80 people participated in the marathon.
According to Irina Lastovka, a large week-long special session of design-thinking was held for the company "Trading Square", the result of which was the development of a new product of sausages.
In general, among Siberian companies, design thinking is already being tried by banks, telecom companies, as well as individual participants in the restaurant market, the food delivery segment, job search services, and manufacturing companies.
How much this tool will take root in the long term, time will tell.
DIRECT SPEECH Egor Krylov, marketer, head of IPTV group of companies "Siberian Networks": - Design thinking begins not with the product, not with a pendel from the director, but with the client.
Personally, I start by getting to know those for whom I have to develop a product.
When I worked at Tele2, twice a year, all employees of the company (from an ordinary specialist to a general director) worked all day in retail, connected and advised subscribers.
To say that it allows you to get a ton of insights, to say nothing.
After returning to the office, we shared experience and feedback.
The second major feature of design thinking is understanding how your product can help a potential customer solve their problem.
It is very important not to roll down to pulling the product on a fictional need, namely to understand what the client ’ s task is, and offer him a relevant solution for which your new product fits so well.
During my work in Tele2, we had a case study, developing a tariff plan for the Novosibirsk region.
We really organized a whole trip to the glorious cities of Kuibyshev and Barabinsk, conducted a mass survey and interviews there (we had a team of top managers as interviewers).
As a result, a special tariff proposal was developed.
In the process of product development, the most difficult thing is to go from words to deeds, when you need to prove or check whether the product will work in the fields.
You need to quickly do a test, create the so-called MVP (minimum viable product), quickly conduct its test and quickly get the result.
If the product “hooks ” the target audience, then the idea has the right to develop.
It is necessary to be ready that, most likely, there will be much more comments than praise, but this is excellent, so the product really "hooked".
So, when we were preparing an ambient on the theme of the “suitcase of the Internet ” in Tele2, we made a toy.
The first version was with a monitor with a system unit in our office and is available to all our colleagues.
The main thing is to quickly give a try to the product, and see if it has a chance.
I ’ d like to add that you can ’ t fall in love with your ideas.
Otherwise, you can start protecting their minuses instead of fixing them and making the product cooler.
You also need to be ready to abandon the idea and return to any of the previous stages to clarify the behavior of the client, or conduct additional interviews, or formulate a new question (what problem can the product solve for the subscriber).

Nushiravan Maharramli: The activities of organizations that calculate the rating of TV programs are opaque - INTERVIEW
|
© Report.az "Unfortunately, the AGB organization does not understand its responsibility in Azerbaijan and does not want to invest the necessary investments" Baku.
August 23.
Report Interview of the Chairman of the National Council of Television and Radio of Azerbaijan Nushiravan Maharramli. - How do you assess the quality of programs broadcast on Azerbaijani TV channels? - The situation in the television space of Azerbaijan is generally satisfactory.
However, there is still much to be done in this area.
We are concerned about the low level of broadcasts on local television, especially on private television channels.
There are objective and subjective reasons for this.
The objective reasons are mainly related to the situation in the advertising market of Azerbaijan.
Sometimes programs on private TV channels are compared with programs on Turkish, Russian television.
But they do not take into account the situation in the advertising market of those countries.
The difference between spending on shooting TV series, show business programs in these countries compared to ours is heaven and earth.
For this reason, the situation on local TV channels is bleak.
The situation in the advertising sphere of Azerbaijan is also connected with the economic situation.
The economic difficulties observed in recent years in the world, in one way or another, affect our country.
In addition, the personnel problem of private TV channels is a concern.
The situation on state-funded TV channels is different.
In this area a little limp only the dynamism, efficiency.
In comparison with previous years, there has been a significant reduction in the number of offences on private TV channels.
There is a culture of ether, and the current situation with the language is comparatively better than in previous years.
However, there is still a lot to be done in this area...
In addition, there have been no changes in people ’ s thinking about TV channels, they think that the situation is deplorable.
In general, triviality in the programs of TV channels, movies, TV series is inherent not only in our country, but all over the world. - Now the solution of problems with advertising does not depend on TV channels.
Therefore, the issue of not attracting advertising by educational programs is often raised, and as a result, the number of entertainment programs is growing.
How can this be prevented? - The solution of the advertising problem by TV channels is connected with the issue of economic development in the country.
But there are projects that we are working on.
We are concerned about the lack of transparency, unhealthy attitude in the activities of organizations that count the rating.
These rating organizations prefer show business programs, constantly show them rating.
The question is who is doing this calculation and in what stratum of society.
No one knows how they do this job.
Sitting in an ordinary room, they can easily give such information themselves.
No one checks them, does not control the activity, it is unknown among which people the survey is conducted.
We carry out certain works, in this regard, and we have plans and goals aimed at the future.
In Azerbaijan, the rating was measured by an organization called AGB (Nielsen Media Research).
After the transition to digital broadcasting, this work faded into the background.
They are trying to make a big profit with a small investment.
That's not true.
After switching to digital broadcasting, they should increase the number of piplemeters.
In previous years, in Baku, the rating was 200 piplmeters, and in other areas, too, 200 piplmeters.
This is shared advertising.
But after the transition to digital broadcasting, this process was greatly reduced, because they carried out measurement work on analog broadcasting.
Now digital broadcasting is carried out only on cable networks.
The cable network does not cover the whole country, there are only in Baku, Sumgayit and Ganja.
Therefore, there are problems with their rating.
We see these problems and we have appeals in this regard.
Unfortunately, the AGB organization does not understand its responsibility in Azerbaijan and does not want to invest the necessary investments.
They want to do this work at the expense of Azerbaijan ’ s own capital.
In general, such organizations not only here, but also in other countries have created great problems.
Therefore, these organizations often change.
We are trying to make positive changes in this area. - You say that there is a problem with personnel on TV channels.
How can this problem be solved? - This question should be considered together with other problems.
The current situation on private TV channels is a cause for concern: poor quality of broadcasts, preference for vulgar and banal broadcasts.
I don ’ t think TV channels are doing this intentionally.
It's just what they can do today.
The personnel problem is a serious issue.
Especially TV presenters should be hired after careful consideration.
The host of both programs about cuisine, show business and intellectual should have a broad worldview, know the topic and norms of the literary Azerbaijani language well.
Otherwise, the integrity is violated, the program becomes monotonous, tedious.
Viewers, seeing such a speech of the presenter, remain dissatisfied.
As a result, TV channels of other countries are chosen.
Naturally, the creation of good personnel is not a one-sided work.
This process begins with a secondary school, a higher educational institution and flows into public life.
The issue of personnel training is an issue that requires an integrated approach and will be resolved over time. - Nushiravan Muellim, the process of transition to digital broadcasting has been completed.
Are there any problems in this area? - In general, the transition to digital broadcasting is a technical process.
In this regard, there are no longer any problems.
Some channels have updated the equipment for better broadcasting of programs.
These innovations are now being applied in the countries of the world, because if you fall behind the system, you will not be able to function.
ATV and Xəzər channels have done a lot of work in this direction.
Other channels will also do this work with the improvement of the material situation.
TV channels that use frequencies spend a lot of money.
- Today, one of the factors causing concern on Azerbaijani TV channels is the violation of the norms of the literary language.
You also conduct regular monitoring.
How do you feel about the fact that everyday spoken language finds its way to TV channels? - In Soviet times, TV channels mainly spoke in the academic style, and it was not allowed to speak the everyday language.
It was an extreme measure.
But after independence, we went to the other extreme.
Today we do not speak a literary language, we speak everyday, everyday language.
Of course, it is necessary not to separate one from the other, but to maintain balance.
Everyday spoken language is more evident in the speech of the audience invited to the broadcast.
It is also possible in performances, films, documentaries.
But it is impractical for the presenter to use in speech a spoken language, words borrowed from a foreign language.
In a globalizing world, the languages of great powers influence the languages of peoples like ours.
Therefore, we must choose a method of self-defense and resist.
This resistance should be mainly provided by the intelligentsia.
Unfortunately, our intelligentsia is indifferent to this issue, and sometimes they cannot express their views in their native language.
The role and responsibility of television in protecting these issues is great.
Because people look at them and take them as examples, and everything they see is perceived as correct.
Therefore, it is important for TV presenters, directors and broadcasters to know the norms of the Azerbaijani literary language.
In general, regardless of race, religion, anyone who lives in this country, a citizen of Azerbaijan, should know the state language.
Unfortunately, there are serious problems in this area.
Some of our officials, composers, speak Russian.
Even our performers, despite the fact that they sing in their native language, sometimes express their views in Russian.
These are the most worrying factors.
A few years ago, state funds were allocated for the creation of local television series.
Today, TV channels managed to make a breakthrough with the series.
What are the shortcomings in this area? - In allocating funds for the series, the Azerbaijani government sought to revive this sector.
Our desire was for the youth to be formed not on the basis of foreign series, but on the basis of national ones.
One - time financial assistance has been provided to support this area.
So I think we have managed to create a revival in this sector.
At the previous stage, there were too many series, and their quality was a concern.
Because they were of very low quality.
But high quality series also require funds.
I noted that in neighboring countries - in Turkey and in Russia, advertising is expensive.
In these countries, one minute of advertising costs from 40 to 50 thousand dollars, but we do not have 1,000 dollars.
The quality of broadcasts corresponds to advertising.
But recently, the TV channels Xəzər, ATV are releasing new series at their own expense.
It's progress.
The state is studying this issue, and we will come back to it if necessary.
But, as you know, these issues should be regulated by market relations.
Sponsors have to find entrepreneurs, rich people have to do it.
I believe that after a while our country will be the way we want it to be.
There was a time, we only watched Brazilian TV series, then Turkish, and then we switched to our TV series.
As Azerbaijan develops economically, progress will be made in this area.
Unfortunately, there are problems with the series itself.
After all, the series should also have an educational role.
For example, one of the best moments for me in Turkish TV series is that the person sitting behind the wheel of a car, first of all fastens a seat belt.
This is a signal that everyone should do this while driving a car.
Also, don ’ t talk on the phone while driving.
But, unfortunately, in Azerbaijan, TV shows often send negative messages.
Most of all, the place is given to criminal issues.
Problems with the language in the series are also not happy.
But this problem exists not only among our actors, but also among our officials and intellectuals.
Unfortunately, we cannot keep the middle ground.
The work of improving the language in gardens and schools will also spread to society.
Problems will be solved if society becomes healthier in this matter. - What should be done to meet the demand for children 's programs, cartoons? - We are concerned about the small number of children' s programs and cartoons in Azerbaijan.
Our children are raised on foreign cartoons.
Therefore, we would like to increase the production of local cartoons.
Previously, we recommended that each TV channel once a year produce one cartoon, even if it does not have direct responsibilities.
If each TV channel shoots one cartoon a year for ten years, then there will be a hundred cartoons.
In this case, our children will not be brought up under the influence of cartoons of foreign countries.
The State Committee for Family, Women and Children Affairs was making active efforts to establish children's television.
As you know, the creation of television for each region (religious, educational, youth, etc.) is not typical for countries such as Azerbaijan.
The opening of television channels is a real desire.
But the channel must have an audience, a market.
We have already opened two sports channels.
A sports channel for a country like Azerbaijan is a burden.
But the state has shouldered this burden because it pays special attention to sports and culture.
The Gütb TV channel, previously operating in Guba, has changed its direction of activity.
Now it is called "Günəş" and broadcasts programs for children.
We even placed this channel on the cable network, although he did not have such a right.
Thus, the channel is also broadcast in Baku.
We want improvements in this area.
If Güneş TV can form itself, it could be seen in the future as a children ’ s television broadcast across the country.

“Russia has injuries. ”
|
If until recently the main modern Turkish writer for the Russian-speaking reader was considered Nobel laureate Orhan Pamuk, now there is another name: Zulfiu Livaneli.
His novel “The Story of My Brother ” was translated into Russian, and two more books are planned to be published before the end of the year.
At the same time, Livaneli is one of the most famous and popular writers of Turkey, winner of numerous literary awards.
About love to Okudzhava and Vysotsky, as well as the experience of personal and collective trauma with Zulfa Livaneli talked to the columnist of "Tape.ru" Natalia Kochetkova.
From the Turkish conversation was translated by the Turkologist Apollinaria Avrutin.
“Lenta.ru ”: Now the idea is quite popular in society that childhood injuries affect the entire subsequent life of a person and nothing can be done about it.
Do you think so too?
Zulfiu Livaneli: The major psychiatrists of the world agree that any trauma affects human life, and traumas received in childhood, especially.
This is what happened to the hero of my novel.
He suffered memory loss.
This happens after a physical injury or severe mental shock.
We were all children, everyone has their own experience, but what we experienced in childhood resonates later in adulthood.
And if Freud had the opportunity to ask about it, he would say that the child before birth is influenced by the environment, and if something serious happens — say, something terrifies him — it will affect his future life.
Why did you decide to endow your hero with such a serious diagnosis as memory loss and split personality?
If we turn to the novels of Dostoevsky, we will see that each of his characters survived a serious trauma, thereby giving the writer material for the development of the plot.
All heroes are simple people.
My hero is experiencing a childhood trauma - losing loved ones in a car accident.
And then he experiences a very strong unhappy love.
I decided to give the narrative drama in this vein.
The hero of “My Brother ’ s Story ” is an absolute European.
He dresses, lives, behaves, thinks in the way that a German, a Frenchman, an Englishman — any person of Western civilization could do it.
It's not my special wish.
It's just that most people in Turkey are so Europeanized.
Now in Turkey, the population of rural areas has decreased to six percent in relation to the total number, all have moved to the city and lead a completely European lifestyle there.
There are, of course, people who are engaged in Islamic propaganda, wear religious clothes and try to behave traditionally, but there are very few of them.
So my hero is a typical Turk.
By the way, he graduated from university and an engineer by profession.
There are a lot of such people in Turkey.
He is the most ordinary in this sense, lives like everyone else.
Probably, the view of the Russian reader on Turkish culture and way of life is somewhat distorted.
The books of Orhan Pamuk have long been translated into Russian, and they often have a national flavor.
When Pamuk writes such a novel as “The White Fortress ” and talks about the Ottoman Empire, there can not be these oriental moments.
When he writes a novel like Snow and creates an oriental atmosphere there, it is the atmosphere of the novel, not the real everyday Turkey.
Turkish society is very diverse.
There are many different people living side by side in Turkey.
The hero of my novel is a typical representative of a multi-million urban society.
In the southeast of Turkey live more traditional people, they have their own behavioral laws, they lead an Eastern lifestyle.
Turkey is diverse.
Each of us is right in our own way.
Svklimkin / Wikimedia Here, for example, the novel “Museum of Innocence ” by Orhan Pamuk.
A huge number of people in Turkey are exactly as Pamuk describes them: rich loafers from high society.
They are also Europeanized people.
As far as I remember this novel, Pamuk specifically emphasizes that before Turkey was different, and from the 1970-1980s there was a Europeanized layer that can afford to do nothing and buy expensive handbags.
You do not make such an accent, so your novel reads as absolutely European.
My novels are very different, but this one really does not leave an impression of the place of action.
That is, its action could develop anywhere in the world.
But not all my novels are like that.
I have novels that show traditional Turkish life.
They have not yet been translated into Russian.
As I said, Turkish society is very different.
On the one hand, there are rich idlers, bourgeois, who do nothing special and lead a life of idleness.
On the other hand, there are millions of ordinary people who live about the same as the hero of my novel.
It is important to understand that Turkey ’ s desire for Europeanization is not something that appeared yesterday or in the 1970s.
This process is no less than 250 years old.
That is, it began about the same time that Russia turned to the West in the time of Peter I. So this phenomenon has been for many years.
The Turks have long been drawn to Europe.
If you look at the old Turkish photos, you will see that they do not have women in headscarves, with their faces covered – all dressed in European style.
This fashion was brought by Ataturk with the founding of the Turkish Republic, but now in Turkey the trends are such that the current pro-Islamic authorities are trying to introduce a new ideological component into Turkish society.
Simultaneously with your novel, I read another French and one British novel.
And I understood that, strictly speaking, your book is tailored according to the same patterns of European literature.
Who are the authors of the other novels?
(Pronounces in Russian) Thank you!
This novel consists of several layers, there is a psychological line and a detective line, I thought it was layered so that the reader would be interested.
And, as it turned out, the book really liked the young reader.
A young man?
The protagonist is a pensioner.
But the journalist who interviewed him is young.
He is a very popular Turkish type.
A lot of girls in Turkey look like her.
I liked the book young people.
When I read your novel, I began to tell my friends that here is a new interesting Turkish writer was translated into Russian.
One of them, a man with a musical background, said: Livaneli?
I have his CD on the shelf.
So you're a writer or a musician?
(Wants) I was unlucky - I'm both.
I wrote music, but since childhood I dreamed of doing literary work.
So I devoted some part of my life to music, and now I write novels.
My education is musical, I am a composer.
My music was played by the London Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Zubin Meta.
And the "Moscow Virtuosos" played.
I wrote songs and performed them.
I feel a little high.
You mean you sing in the same hoarse voice?
No (laughs).
But I really love the songs of Vysotsky and Bulat Okudzhava.
I write classical music, and I love music like they do.
Tell us about the novels that will soon be released in Russian.
I must say that it is very important for me that I was published in Russia.
Many of my books have been translated, but Russian translations are especially important to me.
In a sense, we are all children of Russian literature.
Many writers, when traveling to different countries, say: I love France, I love Spain.
I don't say that.
Russia is a special country for me.
We have a lot in common, we are close to each other in spirit.
Turkish literature was influenced by French literature.
But that was in the 19th century.
Later she was influenced by Russian literature.
Haberankara.com The next novels that are scheduled for release in Russian are the novel "Happiness" and the novel "Anxiety".
"Happiness" was published in 40 languages.
A film was made.
I hope it will be shown in Russia.
This is a book about an Eastern girl who is forced to build her life against the traditional tyrannical precepts of Eastern life.
These precepts break her life virtually before birth because she is illegitimate.
She's trying to circumvent her destiny.
Let me tell you right away: everything ends well.
The second novel “Anxiety ” is very relevant because it takes place on the border of Syria and Turkey, in an ancient city whose history goes back several thousand years.
It is inhabited by different peoples, nowadays there live refugees.
This novel tells about the atrocities of ISIS (banned in Russia group — approx.
“Tape.ru ”), about the genocide of the Yezidis and about the crisis of personality.
It is also a psychological novel.
I wish he would come out soon.
We started the conversation with a personal injury.
From your point of view, are there such historical, national traumas that leave an imprint on the further history of an entire nation?
How was World War II for Germany?
How is the Holocaust for the Jews?
Of course!
And Russia has such injuries.
The fact is that I first came to Russia during the Soviet Union.
Like many intellectuals of the time, I idealized the Soviet Union and its system.
I thought it was something wonderful.
Then I saw this reality and realized that it was not so wonderful.
Nevertheless, it was the Soviet Union that defeated fascism.
There's nothing to add to that.
In the Soviet Union, culture and art were on top, and this too commands great respect.
And it is also important that high art was close to the people.
At the same time, I had a close friend, a Turkologist Vera Fionova - unfortunately, she died...
She once said to me, “You look at communism as a romantic.
I know the real picture.
And for me, communism is when I get up in the morning, I have a little bit of butter, and I have to decide who to put it on a sandwich — a child at school or a husband at work.
And for me, the communist reality is that piece of oil. ”
What about Turkish history?
It's the same thing.
Another thing is that, say, about the Armenian genocide until recently, ordinary Turks knew nothing.
This information was hidden and became known only recently.
As for the constant fluctuations between East and West, it must be said that the movement of the Turks to the West has been traced for many centuries.
The Turks came from Central Asia to Asia Minor, then to Istanbul, then to Europe.
The movement to the West is peculiar to us.

"I park like a freak": burn it all on fire
|
In the new, 79th issue of the NGS.AUTO project "I park like a freak": parking at the stop, urgent inspection at the exit from the parking lot and free space "for the elect" in the middle of a quiet center.
A car enthusiast from Kazakhstan, who blocked the evacuation exit, begins to issue.
“The same weirdo with the letter“ m ” is always parked at the MFC on Truda Square right in the hood in the fire exit.
Every time in the same place.
And nothing bothers him! ” – says the reader of the NGS Denis.
The small loader fits perfectly into the space between the barrier and the curb.
Perfectionists rejoice, and residents resent.
“So“ works ” ZhEU “Siberian initiative ” in the Kalininsky district on the“ Snegiryakh ” ”, — said Elena.
"Near the store" Holdy "on Tereshkova street.
I am proud that such "heroic" guys serve in our bodies.
Although they are disabled, they work for the benefit of society, ” Roman ironically says.
The young driver of this foreign car for more than half an hour did not allow cars parked in the evening at the Pobeda cinema to go to Lenin.
“I closed the ramp.
Neither people with disabilities, nor mothers with wheelchairs near the century-old building will pass, ” the reader complained.
Here is the brother of the previous hero.
“That ’ s such a stupid driver, parked, blocked the ramp.
With the stroller can not pass, ” wrote Anna, but forgot to specify the address.
Another weirdo on the lawn - now they leave not only traces of wheels, describes Svetlana the situation in the courtyard of the house on the street Dusi Kovalchuk, 177 / 1, directly opposite the kindergarten.
“In winter, all car owners of the house park on this lawn, but in spring, summer and autumn it makes only one car.
Look at what a lawn looks like, on which not only traces of wheels, but also leaked oil! ” the reader is indignant.
A stop pocket is a great place to park.
The photo was sent by Vladimir from the stop "Vostochny zhilmassiv" on Lazurnaya.
“We left the parking lot below the river station (exit at Dobrolyubov, 2A).
The exit was blocked by the RAV4, there was no driver.
Next to him was Prado, a girl driving.
When asked to skip, she replied that she was busy (indeed, judging by a bunch of checks on her knees, she counted the daily revenue).
To the words that there were two children in my car, and there was a strong heat outside, I reacted simply by pressing the central lock button in my car.
It is necessary to give credit: on people, maybe she doesn ’ t care, but she keeps her word – made a debit with a loan and left, ” complained Alexander.
"The Novosibirsk Construction and Installation College on Dzerzhinsky, 1 has a double impudence.

All right, "Mercedes" - they kind of "should", and "Nissan" in the same, "reasoned the reader of the NGS Yuri.
Surprisingly, no one has taken this place yet.

President Ilham Aliyev: Political interests of Turkey and Azerbaijan coincide
|
Baku.
3 December.
REPORT.AZ / "Both the Azerbaijani and Turkish public saw how close we are to each other.
I think there are no countries in the world that are closer to each other than ours.
We are united by history, common culture, ethnic roots and language. "
Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev said this at a joint press conference held today with Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu.
The head of state also noted that today Turkey and Azerbaijan closely cooperate with each other as two independent states: “Turkey was the first country to recognize the independence of Azerbaijan.
Since then, communications have been developing at an accelerated pace.
We are always at every stage and support each other.
This policy is unchanged, it is based both on justice and on our historical past.
I would like to see future generations maintain high-level contacts as well.
There are opportunities for this, because our political views coincide.
We are for peace and tranquility in the region.
We do not want confrontation.
We want all countries and peoples to live in peace and build their lives.
Let no one interfere in the internal affairs of others.
Turkish-Azerbaijani unity and politics play a stabilizing role in the region.
Unfortunately, the stability of the region is being disrupted.
New threats and risks are emerging.
We must be ready and ready for all these calls.

Nikas Safronov: About 150 of my works will be presented in Baku - INTERVIEW
|
Moscow.
29 December.
REPORT.AZ / Report agency ’ s exclusive interview with the famous artist, academician of the Russian Academy of Arts Nikas Safronov on the eve of his big exhibition in Baku in 2018. - Nikas Stepanovich, could you tell more about your exhibition, which is planned in Baku?
- This will be my second personal exhibition in Baku - the first was held 20 years ago, at the initiative of Azerbaijani President Heydar Aliyev.
The exhibition of 2018 will be a tribute to my friend, a great man, and it was this event that prompted it to be held at the Heydar Aliyev Center, closer to the date of his birth in May.
The idea of the exhibition was conceived long ago.
At one of the meetings with Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, and later with Mehriban Aliyeva and Leyla Aliyeva, it was decided that there should be more works dedicated to Azerbaijan in the exposition.
And in order to get fully into the Azerbaijani topic, I took the time to travel around the country.
Was almost everywhere - and in Nakhchivan, Ganja, Gabala and many other regions of this beautiful country.
Now I have more than 30 paintings on Azerbaijani themes in my collection.
I think, closer to the exhibition itself, a few more works will be added to them.
In total, more than 150 paintings will be presented in Baku. - Over all these years, you have repeatedly visited Azerbaijan, and it probably became a special place for you.
- For me, Azerbaijan, figuratively speaking, is the second Motherland - that is how I love this country, the people and its unique culture.
Now I regret that I did not visit this region, this republic until 1998.
When I first arrived, it was love at first sight.
Baku Mayor Rafael Allahverdiyev even suggested that I open my own gallery-workshop in the city at that time.
But in life in the late 90s somehow everything turned around then, and I missed such a unique moment.
I was also in places about which the great Russian poet Sergei Yesenin wrote.
And in general, it is very unusual and fascinating when outside of Russia you go to places related to Russian history and culture.
In Ismayilli district, for example, I was in the village of Ivanteevka, where Russians speak the language of the Tsar ’ s time.
And there are many and many different memories about Azerbaijan, and there is not enough time to tell about everything. - They say that Heydar Aliyev somehow singled you out.
How do you remember him?
- Yes, his relatives told me that Heydar Aliyev always singled out me and Rostropovich among Russians.
And at the meetings, he paternally hugged us and kissed us three times.
Heydar Alievich even entrusted me to paint a portrait of my grandson, despite the fact that according to Eastern traditions, strangers are not allowed to children up to 3 years old, and then he was only 1.5 years old.
In general, Heydar Aliyev was a very wise, deep and sensitive person.
He was principled, but at the same time very kind to people.
And Ilham Aliyev, the president of today ’ s Azerbaijan, is a more rational person, the highest professional and a great patriot of his country.
Politically, today the emphasis is placed so that everything is done for the future of the country and its people.
It is pleasant that in relations with Russia, the President continues the policy initiated by his father, Heydar Aliyev, the policy of good-neighborliness and mutual respect.
In Azerbaijan, the Russian language and Russian culture do not weaken and are in great honor.
Azerbaijan is one of the few former Soviet republics, along with Kazakhstan, which did not follow the path of rabid nationalism. - And how is your cooperation with Leyla Aliyeva and the Heydar Aliyev Foundation? - I am well acquainted with her work, as she is with mine.
She constantly invites me to her charity events.
She is very beautiful, charming, friendly, very thin nature, highly educated, a little sentimental.
She is a poet, a lyricist, a good artist and just a connoisseur of art.
Both the country and her parents can be proud of this outstanding girl.
She does a lot of charity, in this she puts all her emotional and spiritual beginning.
In practice, she is the Goodwill Ambassador of the entire Azerbaijani people to Russia.
This does not implore the merits of the distinguished Polad Bulbulevich, who for many years has been the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Azerbaijan to our country.
But Leila is an ambassador to her liking, of her own free will, that she cannot help but touch the Russians. – In Russia, you are often called a “court artist ”.
Are you offended by this "title" and how often do you visit the Kremlin? - Virtually all the great artists of history - from Velazquez to Rembrandt - painted portraits of prominent statesmen, and it was both profitable and honorable.
But not all of them, of course, were court artists, but nevertheless many of them received orders from kings, other crowned persons, painted their portraits and earned a living.
I don't see anything wrong with that.
In some artistic circles there is an opinion that the artist should be poor.
I disagree with that view.
If he is ordered by kings and popes and rich people, why should he be poor?!
Although I am not a court artist, but I take this concept calmly – it is not a household word for me.
I write to different people: it can be a famous Hollywood star, or just a doctor who commands my respect.
I earn money in order to be able to engage in charity work, so I would accept an offer to work for the Kremlin on a permanent basis, but this happens only occasionally.
I remember once, when Dmitry Medvedev was president, he wanted to give something to the Aliyev family, and then Vagit Alekperov said that he really liked the works of Nikas Safronov.
I soon received an order and later two paintings were purchased and presented to Ilham Aliyev.
Then, when meeting with me, the President of Azerbaijan noted this. - In your collection there are portraits of the most influential people in the world.
How difficult is it to draw the powerful, because some are afraid even of their gaze, and they are forced to pose for you? - I, as a normal person, have respect for worthy, accomplished people, but there is no cringe.
And I may or may not be loved, but I am an accomplished man in art, and therefore I live beyond time.
I have never had servility in front of anyone, but I have always been sensitive to a person who has done something good for this world.
I do not bother anyone posing for me with a long pose - I have enough to sketch a few minutes of conversation to fix and create an impression for further work.
Admittedly, he was very worried when he worked on the portrait of Heydar Aliyev, but not during the session with him, but later.
And that ’ s because I was told that about 300 artists tried to write it.
Of course, I wanted him to like my portrait.
And when I showed him a portrait on his birthday in 1998, he looked at the work for five minutes, then turned to me, stretched out his hand and said: “Now you have a friend in Azerbaijan, and this is me. ”
What artists could be singled out? - Azerbaijani art is very rich, colorful, delicious.
I have known Tahir Salahov for a long time.
He is a wonderful artist who has already spoken his word in the world of art.
Gorgeous paintings were painted by Togrul Narimanbekov, Sattar Bahlulzade, Rasim Babayev and Farhad Khalilov, with whom we are well acquainted.
Even Muslim Magomayev, and he distinguished himself in a special manner in his painting.
I often visited them with Tamara at home and gave him some professional advice, because he was a talented self-taught...
As for today ’ s young artists, I often visit various international exhibitions, where Azerbaijani artists are especially distinguished by their manner of writing.
Among them, Sanan Samadov and sculptor Zakir Akhmedov distinguished themselves.
Perhaps the upcoming exhibition in Baku will give me an opportunity to learn more and better about modern Azerbaijani fine arts, and to get acquainted with a large number of talented young people.

Whalers kill rare whale on the verge of extinction for the first time in 50 years - VIDEO
|
Icelandic whalers have killed a endangered blue whale.
Photos of the huge sea dweller, which can reach up to 33 meters in length, were posted by the organization for the protection of animals.
According to them, they were employees of the whaling company Kristjan Loftsson, reports the Daily Mail.
The huge carcass was tied to the ship Hvalur 8, after which it was dragged into the dock.
Then the crew members took turns jumping on the killed animal to make a photo for memory, reports Day.Az with reference to life.ru.
Blue whales were almost exterminated in the last century.
According to various estimates, now there are from 10 thousand to 25 thousand individuals.
And no one has hunted them in the last 50 years.
This is the 22nd whale killed by Loftsson's company in the last three weeks.
The blue whale has been cut into pieces and mixed with the rest of the prey, making it difficult or impossible to find it during inspections by the authorities.
The meat will likely later be sold to Japan, where it is still served in restaurants.
The Icelandic government itself allows the company to hunt whales despite a global moratorium on whaling, but killing blue whales is illegal everywhere.

Landscape of Lucien Freud put up for auction in England for $40 thousand
|
London, July 13.
/ TASS /.
The landscape of Lucien Freud (1922-2011), grandson of psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud, discovered under a layer of paint another image of the nature of his friend Tom Wright, is put up for auction at Sworders in England for £30,000 ($40,000).
Freud ’ s painting (51 by 61 cm) was hidden for almost 70 years after Wright, due to a shortage of art materials, used it for his canvas, which was estimated at £200 ($264).
Rediscovered early Lucian Freud painting and a Cedric Morris Suffolk landscape sell at auction @ swordersfineart: https: / / t.co / Zu1BG0Q9qT pic.twitter.com / oei11auN9F — AntiquesTradeGazette (@ ATG _ Editorial) July 11, 2018 According to a report from auctioneers, Wright borrowed this "canvas" from the School of Painting and Drawing of East Anglia, to which Freud persuaded him to become a member.
The original image was revealed by chance after relatives of Wright, who died two years ago, saw the inscription "Lucien" scratched on the back.
According to Sworders spokesperson Amy Scanlon, "the story of the painting is amazing."
"The restoration process took two years, - she said. - The specialist carefully removed the scalpel smear after smear."
The lot attracted a lot of attention of collectors, she stressed.
Landscapes of Freud, who became famous for portraits, are extremely rare.
He posed supermodel Kate Moss, artists Frank Auerbach, Francis Bacon, David Hockney, as well as Baron Rothschild and many others.
In 2001, the painter also painted a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II.
Earlier at Sotheby ’ s auction his painting with a naked woman “Rub on a white veil ” went under the hammer for almost £22.5 million ($29.6 million) – a record amount for bidding works of Freud in London.
The model for this portrait was Sophie Lawrence, who worked on publications for the retrospective exhibition of the painter at the Tate Gallery in 2002.

How climate change is assessed in Uzbekistan
|
Since 2014, each subsequent year has been declared by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) the warmest on record.
Most likely, 2019 will be no exception to this alarming trend.
This July rewrote the history of climate, setting dozens of new temperature records at local, national and global levels, WMO Secretary-General Petteri Taalas said.
Uzbekistan is among the countries most vulnerable to climate change.
Since 1880, the average annual temperature in the country has risen by 1.6 degrees Celsius (from 13.2 to 14.8 degrees), which exceeds the average growth rate on the planet.
It is predicted that in 2030 – 2050 the air temperature in the Central Asian region may increase by another 1.5 – 3 degrees.
Here, the greatest increase in air temperature is expected in the Aral Sea region, since due to the drying up of the Aral Sea there are also specific local climatic changes.
As assessed by climate change, Uzbekistan has been a party to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) since 1993 and ratified the Paris Climate Agreement in 2018.
The country has made voluntary quantitative commitments to reduce the carbon intensity of GDP (specific greenhouse gas emissions per unit of GDP) and adaptation to climate change.
Uzhydromet under the Ministry of Emergency Situations is the responsible organization for fulfilling the obligations under the UNFCCC and the Paris Agreement.
Earlier, Uzhydromet prepared the first (1999), second (2008) and third national communications on climate change (2016).
The Paris Agreement requires the country to maintain: reports on the inventory of sources of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions and the assessment of the impact of mitigation measures every two years; national communications on climate change every four years.
Inventory of sources of anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases.
Since 2019, the preparation of the fourth national communication has begun, which will take about two years, Uzhydromet expert Raisa Taryannikova, who participated in the preparation of the third national communication, told Gazeta.uz.
As a result, in 2021, the first biennial report on the inventory and assessment of the impact of mitigation measures and the inventory of sources of greenhouse gas emissions for 1990 - 2018 should also be prepared.
Where and how should this data be used?
The most vulnerable agriculture provides food for people.
And it is the most sensitive to climate change, said the expert of the enterprise UZGIP (Uzgipromeliovodkhoz) Tatyana Khamzina at a training for journalists on September 10, organized by the Regional Environmental Center of Central Asia.
Irrigation of agricultural land with an area of 4.3 million hectares is spent 90-92% of all water used in the country, the agricultural sector accounts for 27% of employment in the country, and the livelihoods of rural residents mainly depend on agricultural production, the expert said.
Increasing heat supply with a warming climate can bring benefits to agriculture - for example, the overwintering of animals will be easier, less need to cover heat-loving crops for the winter, may increase the sugar content of grapes.
Opportunities for obtaining several harvests per year, growing late-ripening and heat-loving crops are increasing – however, these benefits will be real only with sufficient water supply, Tatyana Khamzina emphasized.
At the same time, there are more and more problems with water supply: according to the World Bank, the need for water for irrigation in agriculture is not fully met today.
Due to the lack of water by 2030, we can expect a decrease in the yield of winter wheat, cotton and orchards, respectively, by 7 − 9%, 4 − 5%, 6 − 8%.
The damage to the economies of Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Kyrgyzstan caused by climate change is from 0.4% to 1.3% of their annual GDP, according to the World Bank.
In Uzbekistan, it is also necessary to analyze the possible damage to the main sectors of the economy - water supply, energy, agriculture, forestry, transport - from climate change, World Bank expert Benoit Boske told Gazeta.uz.
A number of state programs are devoted to the Aral Sea region to mitigate the consequences of the Aral disaster and the development of the region; documents on the development of agriculture, irrigation, improvement of land reclamation and the use of water resources have been adopted.
At the same time, the World Bank expert notes the fragmented nature of this work, since there is no “single national coordination mechanism that would take effective measures in response to the challenges of climate change. ”
Indeed, the country does not yet have such a comprehensive strategy for responding to climate change that would oblige to take these changes into account in the adoption and implementation of all national and sectoral development programmes and plans.
Recently, the development of an agricultural development strategy for the next ten years has been initiated, which will largely reflect the responses to climate challenges.
One of the main directions of the strategy is to increase efficiency and keep records of water use, as well as the introduction of water-saving technologies on 200 thousand hectares of areas every year.
“200 thousand hectares each year on water-saving technologies is a very ambitious task.
But if we do not set such ambitious goals, there will be no progress, ” Aleksey Volkov, National Coordinator of the Small Grants Program of the Global Environment Facility (SGP), commented to Gazeta.uz. “We hope that the experience of the SGP of the GEF on soil protection agriculture will be reflected in the draft of this strategy. ”

Stories of things: what can be found in pocket guides to Moscow of the XIX and XX centuries – Rambler
|
Today it is difficult to imagine a long walk around Moscow without electronic maps and applications with tips of the best institutions and attractions nearby.
But everything new is well forgotten old: the first detailed pocket guides appeared in the middle of the XIX century, greatly facilitating the life of Muscovites and guests of the city.
In today ’ s issue of “Stories of Things ” there are two compact books that 100 or more years ago accompanied residents and visitors in business, cares, idleness and, of course, pleasures.
The first guide to Moscow of a convenient pocket format was published in 1857, shortly after the opening of the St. Petersburg – Moscow highway.
In the round trip passengers took with them not the great work of Alexander Radishchev, but a small book with the cheerful name "All Moscow in the palm of your hand" and a serious explanation on the title page: "Pocket book serving as a guide and reference for the curious, especially for those who come to the capital."
The book, printed in the publishing house of Moscow University, contained all the necessary information: where to find a hairdresser, and where - sausage shops and confectionery, where to go in the evening, on which street to walk, where you can order a sign for the shop and where to go for a fancy dress (if necessary).
In addition to the addresses of hotels, taverns and pharmacies, there are in the book all the key architectural sights of that time - from the Kremlin to monasteries.
You can find literally everything in the guidebook: its last section, for example, is entitled “Forges, vegetable gardens and cemeteries ”.
In 1902, a pocket book “Environs of Moscow ” was published with the subtitle“ Sputnik summer resident, cyclist, photographer ”.
Its compilers Vladimir Magnussen and Lev Umanets took on the role of guides to the world of entertainment, which offer a summer city and nearby places to a person who sat on a bicycle, hung a camera around his neck, put on a hat from the sun and wants to spend time with good and use.
Armed with a book, this man learned where on weekends it is deserted, and where crowds of the same bored townspeople gather, in which park you can treat yourself to hot chocolate, in which villages it is most pleasant to relax from civilization and even in which the hut to knock to get a mug of fresh delicious milk.
At that time, there were not too many cyclists in Moscow, from five to ten thousand, and all of them were spoiled: then bicycles were equipped with license plates, like cars.
Cycling culture was just beginning to take shape, but the city already boasted a luxurious bike path - the first in a row.
Its width was four meters, it passed from the Belorussky railway station to Petrovsky Park.
In Petrovsky Park, by the way, there was the first place in Moscow where milkshakes were served, and the first special coffee shop for cyclists - "Cyclist".
But not drinks and not paths beckoned readers of Magnussen and Umanets, but views and fresh air: the authors pay great attention to the descriptions of the beauty of the country belt and tips for its speedy and safest achievement.
You can see both books in the Museum of Moscow at the exhibition "Moscow.
The evolution of the guide. ”
Hurry up: July 22 is the last day of the exhibition.

The Everlasting Hemingway
|
It is not enough to be a white-bearded old man, you also need to emit a certain aura, which is characteristic of celebrities in age.
How much pretense can be credible is best judged by those who participated in the Ernest Hemingway doppelganger competition, first marched in columns through the streets of Key West, where the famous writer lived, and then rose to the stage.
The competition is held almost 40 years on the birthday of the author of "The Old Man and the Sea" and "The Holiday that is Always with You".
The venue of the competition is also not accidental - it is in this institution "Papa", as it is also customary to call the great novelist, used to miss a couple of his favorite daiquiris.
The winner this time was also the author of the books, complaining that they do not sell well.
The team of his fans, however, this fact was indifferent.

BSNews:: World Whale and Dolphin Day: How Humanity Is Destroying Marine Mammals
|
July 23 is World Whale and Dolphin Day.
This date was established in 1986, when the ban on whaling was introduced.
The ban is still in effect and means that whale hunting and trade in whale meat are banned all over the world, UNIAN writes.
However, hunting marine mammals is not the only threat to their existence.
The reason for the disappearance of dolphins can be their capture for dolphinariums, oceanariums and circuses.
Dolphins live from 25 to 50 years.
While in dolphinariums, they rarely live up to 10 years.
Another threat to whales and dolphins is that they get entangled in fishing gear and die.
Animals suffer from pollution of the oceans with garbage.
This year, a dead whale was found off the coast of Spain, in the stomach of which 29 kg of plastic was found.
The animal died due to the fact that he could not digest all the garbage that he swallowed.
A little more, and human activity will lead to the complete destruction of whales and dolphins.

How to tighten control on the roads and how much will the Ukrainians fly: Omelyan announced changes
|
In July in Ukraine, in fact, there was a collapse with passenger air transportation.
The failure of one aircraft launched a domino effect - as a result, hundreds of Ukrainians with children spent days at airports in different countries.
The situation was so tense that the state had to intervene.
In particular, the Minister of Infrastructure Vladimir Omelyan announced the strengthening of control over the state of ships and announced a number of innovations.
About this, as well as about the prices for flights, the train to the airport "Borispol" and changes that are waiting for bus passenger transportation in connection with resonant accidents - OBOZREVATEL talked with Vladimir Omelyan. - Last Friday there were several resonant accidents involving minibuses, in which 15 people were killed, 20 injured.
You said that the state will strengthen control over the market of bus passenger transportation.
What will be the changes? - We have a situation similar to the one that has developed in the air transportation market.
The state created a liberal market, predicting that in accordance with the principles of a market economy, it will regulate itself.
The calculation of the state was aimed at the fact that carriers will compete with each other in safety, quality and comfort of transportation.
Carriers began to compete in who would earn more cash.
In every possible way.
Refurbished vehicles, at times faulty, tired drivers, traffic violations and other factors have led to a number of high-profile accidents.
The state shuts down the liberal regime and includes a regime of enhanced control.
Four points are envisaged: - total control by the forces of the National Police and the transport inspection of all carriers; - in the absence of a license for the commercial transportation of passengers - confiscation of the vehicle; - if there is a license, but the bus is illegally converted from cargo to passenger - the carrier loses its license and pays 17 thousand UAH fine; - on Thursday, July 26, at a meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers will approve a government resolution, which will be returned on Friday, July 27 speed control on the roads.
I would also like to remind you that the forces of the Ministry, Ukravtodor, and the National Police have already managed to reduce the mortality rate on Ukrainian roads by 30% over the past two years (from 5,000 in 2016 to 3,500 in 2017).
Our goal is zero mortality by 2030.
Over the past two years, it has already been possible to reduce the mortality rate on Ukrainian roads by 30% (from 5 thousand in 2016 to 3.5 thousand people in 2017).
And our goal is zero mortality by 2030. At the same time, this should not be only the task of the state.
It is not the state that presses on the gas, chooses a minibus in which it is scary to sit, not the state, despises the rules of the road and the safety belts are not the state.
It's people.
Therefore, I appeal to the readers and ask everyone to save their lives, because this is the highest value.
- At the beginning of the month you said that the crisis with air transportation has been overcome, but large-scale incidents with long-term flight delays still happen.
- I took on the thankless role of coordinator in this situation, although the work of the tourism industry does not belong to my functions.
I sincerely hoped that private companies, tour operators and air carriers will cope on their own, but no - I had to intervene.
So far, we see that business interprets the concept of “responsibility ” differently for itself.
I do not want to criticize anyone, but I have a feeling that the 2015 decision to resubordinate the State Tourism Committee from the Ministry of Infrastructure of the Ministry of Economy was wrong - we destabilized the entire industry.
However, I am grateful to the First Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine Stepan Kubiv, who intervened in the situation to establish the work of tourist operators.
And we, for our part, bring in air carriers.
Back in 2016, we warned airlines that the policy of the Ministry of Infrastructure would lead to a significant increase in aviation and passenger traffic.
Indeed, compared with 2015, passenger traffic has doubled.
But the airlines were mostly not ready for this.
We even specially developed the rating of airlines. - Black list? - Rather, monthly rating: how airlines fly, with what delays.
In fact, flight delays in the market as a whole are small - 93% are performed on time.
But we live in Facebook-Ukraine, so if a thousand people get stuck at the airport, this incident gets crazy publicity.
If we talk about a specific case when the Ukrainians could not fly out of Tunisia, I believe that there was an unfair performance of the tour operator Oasis Travel of their duties.
The company has increased its debt to the airline Bravo.
And the tour operator was repeatedly warned: if you do not pay the funds, the flights will stop. - Wait, in Oasis Travel, in turn, they claim that they do not owe anything - like they have some mutual settlements. - It is difficult for me to talk about any mutual settlements - companies must solve all issues quickly, efficiently and without making people hostage to their business disputes.
See also: Ukrainian tourists again stuck in the resort It is important for the market to work normally.
I don ’ t think Bravo would refuse to make money if they were paid money.
And if there is no real earnings and they fly in debt, obviously, the decision to stop cooperation with the relevant tour operator is correct. - After the publicity, tour operators, air carriers "took their mind"? - Yes, the market reacted.
We see a faster response to delays, improved communication between tour operators, airlines and passengers.
People are already coming out, explaining the delays, providing food, accommodation in hotels.
Airlines have also responded to our threat to restrict the use of high-flying aircraft.
In fact, age in this case is a relative indicator.
The aircraft can be 30 years old, and the flight hours are minimal.
But when there are 50-60 thousand hours - it is already serious.
We also monitor the technical condition of the aircraft.
A big advantage of Ukraine is that we have criminal liability for violation of technical condition.
If the inspector checked the plane, and something happened to him, he goes to jail.
That's why nobody plays with it.
Remember the famous phrase of Yushchenko: they grabbed like a bitch of fleas.
Here, airlines in Ukraine also collect a bunch of orders that are simply physically unable to fulfill, because they either do not have reserve aircraft, or they are all involved.
And when one plane breaks down, all the dominoes fall.
And this applies not only to small airlines, but even the same UIA.
But again: the state sets the rules of the game in the market and ensures their observance.
At the same time, business should do its job, and not prolong the crisis, if it arose, and hope for help from the state. - What will be the restrictions on flight hours? - I think that it will be 50-60 thousand flight hours.
Otherwise - it will be recommended not to operate this aircraft. - Only recommended?
And there will be some punishment in case of failure to comply with the recommendations? - I think we simply will not certify such aircraft.
There is another point: "Antonovs" flying to Ukraine, have a much larger number of flights and age restrictions - it will be necessary to make exceptions for them.
There are also questions to foreign airlines flying in Ukraine, in some cases they can cross this barrier.
And then it will be discrimination against Ukrainian airlines.
These points need to be addressed.
However, our message is very clear - Ukrainians will not fly in barns.
Moreover, if the normal technical condition of the vessel is our responsibility, then the condition of the cabin is the responsibility of the airline.
I am glad that SkyUp, for example, this year launched three aircraft with brand new salons.
Bravo, after our, shall we say, motivational conversations, updates the salons of three aircraft and the like. - Will any steps be taken to increase the fleet of spare boards? - Now the system is as follows: several companies agree among themselves and reserve aircraft from each other.
And it turns out that there are reserve aircraft, but in fact - not.
We want to provide a condition that the reserve aircraft must be a reserve and must be available.
We will also control as much as possible so that these are not planes in wet leasing, but in dry - that is, not a temporary lease, but the constant use of the corresponding vessel. - That is, theoretically, this should prevent the air collapses that we observed a few weeks ago? - Of course.
Also, the reduction of tension will help the young age of aircraft that are ready for active operation.
But I would like to emphasize that the idea that "everything is bad in Ukraine, and there are no problems with air transportation in the rest of the world" is also not true.
I recently met with the Director of the Transport Department of the European Commission.
He is shocked - they have more aircraft delays for this half-year than for the whole of last year.
They can't handle it.
At the same time, the European market has been growing + 8% over the past two years, the Ukrainian market - + 30% over the same period. - Tell me, would you buy a ticket from Join up? - Yes. - Despite this amount of negative for this company? - This negative can be simply explained.
Join up is the largest travel company.
Accordingly, the number of problematic cases she has more.
For example, Ryanair is objectively the No1 company in the world, carrying 120 million passengers per year.
Of course, on this scale, 1-2% of problem situations cause the effect of a huge number.
Another point is that Join up is the founder of SkyUp, which they launched this year.
This has led to the jealousy of individual players in the market who do not want to have a competitor not only in international, but also in domestic air travel.
Therefore, all this hysteria is somewhat artificially wound up, although certain problems do exist.
- Nevertheless, even the most irresponsible tour operators were not punished by the Ministry of Economy.
An illustrative example: the famous scandal with Idriska tour, then "dumped" many tourists, and the tour operator did not even take away the license. Why?
Maybe a little not to you question, but you work in the system. - Again, I believe that the decision to transfer Goskomturizma was erroneous.
The Ministry of Infrastructure, which generates all the transport flows of the country, could better form both logistics, and security, and guarantees.
Let ’ s get back to this at the government level.
In the meantime, Mr. Kubiv is making a lot of efforts to stabilize the situation and increase the responsibility of tour operators.
The trends are really bad now.
In fact, any tour operator can sell a lot of last-minute tours at a super cheap price, and disappear the next day.
Explanation: something did not work out, the company was closed - and no responsibility, just no. - According to your estimates, how many such bubble companies? - I am not ready to provide these statistics.
But an interesting point - in Ukraine there are 2600 travel agents, but only 600 pay taxes.
That is, the cash is going crazy, and this is also bad, because the payments are opaque, and there is no responsibility.
The Ministry of Economy has proposed a solution to the problem, and here I warmly support them.
Do you want to be a tour operator?
Have an insurance fund of 500 thousand euros.
Do you want to be a travel agent?
Have an insurance fund of 20 thousand euros.
Then there is a guarantee of at least minimal compensation in case of force majeure. - You offered the air carriers a leasing program together with Antonov.
How did they react?
Who is ready for cooperation? - We responded positively in general.
I know that SkyUp is ready to take on market terms Antonov aircraft for domestic flights, since the operation of Boeing is quite expensive. - What is the fundamental difference?
The Boeing takes less fuel, but it's a priori more expensive.
And given the state of our airfield coverings...
Still, the Antonov is designed for a more ruthless way of exploitation, unlike the Boeing.
For example, Ryanair is ready to fly to Odessa, but the company does not want to fly to the strip that is there today.
And when the strip in Zaporozhye was repaired, Antonovs even took off from the ground.
If the company provides guarantees for the launch of the AN-158 series, if the state offers a convenient form of leasing, and we are thinking about various options, we can really restart the market.
The need is huge.
We see that the dynamics continue even in this half year.
Passenger traffic has already doubled and continues to grow. - And what will be the price of a ticket? - Look, SkyUp goes on regular flights since August.
The price of the ticket Kharkiv-Odessa and Kiev-Odessa (possibly also fly from Lviv to Odessa) from 500 to 1 thousand UAH. - Without luggage? - This is a low-cost. - That is, you think that it will be a really cheap market, a little more expensive than intercity? - I do not deal with hypothetical ideas or fantasies.
We analyze the experience of countries that have implemented this system.
It was done in Turkey.
Yes, they had significant financial injections, but the result is obvious - the Turks moved to airplanes, because it is convenient and cheap.
We want to repeat that success.
By the way, we already had this, in the days of the Soviet Union, each district center had its own airfield, from where planes flew for 10-20 seats.
And the tickets were pennies.
I can ’ t fly for a penny anymore.
However, now Ukrainians have a choice: conditionally fly an hour for a thousand hryvnia or go by train for 4-5 hours for about the same money. - How will the restriction of flight hours and the condition of salons affect the cost of tickets? - I think, in no way.
We will get the same effect as in bus transportation, when you force the owner of an airplane or bus to switch to a modern mode of transport.
On the one hand, this is a significant investment, on the other hand, you seriously save on operation and reliability, because when a flight breaks down - it is crazy money (unplanned repairs, maintenance of personnel, compensation payments, etc.).
New transport is something that the airlines themselves will come to.
SkyUp - a vivid confirmation of this, now buy 5-year-old "Boeings".
UIA also massively buys new aircraft or ships with a short service life.
And this is all for one simple reason - they understand that demand is growing and they need to give a guarantee of quality, or competitors will displace them. - And by the way, how does UIA feel against the background of increased competition? - Quite comfortable.
They increase the fleet, rejuvenate the fleet, new directions appear, especially in the Asian direction. - The same low-cost component. - Let 's say that the low-cost component in UIA is more agitation - to attract additional passengers, but in reality the prices there are quite high.
But they are moving in this direction. - What other airlines are negotiating to enter the Ukrainian market or expand destinations? - I can not say yet, but I hope that there will be two more pleasant surprises this year. - Is the new airport in Bila Tserkva real? - With Bila Tserkva we are working out a model of a potential cargo terminal, although, frankly, there are much better prospects in Boryspil.
We have had good negotiations with companies from Azerbaijan and Italy, we are negotiating with British investors who are ready to build a powerful cargo terminal on the territory of the airport.
What do we have for today?
Previously, there was no cargo transportation at all, and Ukrposhta alone raised the load from one ton per day to 160 tons.
We believe that about 100 thousand tons per year can be handled in "Borispol" in the future 2-3 years. - And what about us with the train in "Borispol"? - There should be four stops: "Kiev-Passenger" - "Vydubichi" - "Darnitsa" - "AP Borispol". - By existing routes? - Yes.
In fact, the part is being completed, which only turns off the Borispol highway and enters the airport, to the terminal.
The project managed to reduce the cost: instead of the announced 800 million UAH, it will cost about 600 million.
Yevgeny Kravtsov (the head of the UZ - Ed.) assures that they will have time by the deadline set by the Prime Minister - December 1.
There is a demand for this type of transport, because passenger traffic is growing.
In "Borispol" will increase the pace after the entry of low-cost.
And there will be a great need for convenient cheap communication.
Therefore, it is logical that people with a ticket for 10-20 dollars will not want to pay the same amount for a taxi.
When Boryspil reaches the passenger traffic of 30 million, and I believe that this is possible in the next 3 years, the Kyiv-Boryspil highway will simply stop.
Therefore, we must work in this direction.
In general, I am in favor of the subway running overpass from Kiev and connecting "Borispol" and the city of Borispol with convenient transport links.
This would give impetus to the development of the entire region.
But this project is a little more expensive.

Farmers disrupt Tour de France by throwing hay at riders
|
The sixteenth stage of the prestigious Tour de France cycling race was suspended due to the action of farmers who blocked the track on the 19th kilometer of the track.
When the peloton began to pass through the area where farmers staged their action, protesters began to throw bales of hay on the road, endangering athletes.
The race was immediately stopped.
Police had to use tear gas to disperse the demonstrators.
According to the TV channel France 2, the police used gas, fearing attacks on the riders, as some farmers protested along with gardening tools.
The gas that the police sprayed against the protesters also harmed the riders – dozens of athletes suffered from the action of the gas, they needed medical care.
The race resumed in more than 10 minutes.
Mitchelton-Scott sports director Matt White told ITV what the situation looked like from his side.
“About 30 seconds before the incident, we were informed about the protest.
It feels like the farmers are ambushing the race.
Our guys were supposed to just drive through this area, but these farmers were pretty aggressive, I don't know what they were protesting against, "White said.
The 16th stage of the Tour de France takes place between the cities of Carcassonne and Baniere de Luchon.
Its length is 218 km.
Earlier we wrote that the four-time champion of the Tour de France Briton Chris Froome, who plays for the team Sky, will be admitted to the competition.
Chris passed a positive doping test at the 2017 Vuelta, but the International Cycling Union, after analyzing the situation and the arguments of the parties, decided to close the case, finding Froome innocent of violating anti-doping rules.

Experts: Climate taxes on agriculture are the main cause of large food shortages
|
The study, published in the journal Nature Climate Change, is the first international study to compare models of climate change impacts on agriculture with the costs and impacts of mitigation policies, and to examine the implications for food security and hunger risks. Shinichiro Fujimori synthesized the results of eight global agricultural models to analyze different scenarios.
Basic models suggest that by 2050, climate change will put an average of 24 million people at risk of starvation.
Some models suggest up to 50 million additional.
However, if climate taxes are applied to agriculture, including a global carbon tax, increases in food prices will leave 78 million people at risk of starvation, and some models suggest the numbers will rise to 170 millions.Areas such as sub-Saharan Africa and India, for example, are much more vulnerable than others.All models have shown that implementing measures such as a carbon tax increases the cost “As agriculture is increasingly directly linked to global climate change mitigation measures, we hope the work has shown that differentiated solutions need to be found for this sector, ” concluded IIASA researcher and co-author Ugo Valin.

Comment: The increase in the number of migrants in Spain - a test for the EU?
|
The number of refugees and migrants arriving in Europe via the Mediterranean is declining.
In the first seven months of this year, a total of 55,000 refugees arrived in Greece, Italy and Spain.
This is half as compared to the same period a year earlier.
Such data were reported by the International Organization for Migration (IOM) and the European Agency for the security of external borders Frontex.
There is no question of any “migration crisis ”,“ influx ” or “influx ” that the populist interior ministers would like to see in Europe in the first place.
Bernd Riegert, however, migration routes do change.
This year, for the first time, Spain became the main destination for migrants.
It is followed by Italy and Greece.
This trend began at the end of 2017.
The number of migrants in Spain was constantly growing, in Italy it was falling.
However, the reason for this situation is not at all the threats of the new populist government in Rome to close the ports to all ships bringing illegal migrants into the country.
The fact is that Libya seems to be increasingly trying to prevent the sending of refugees and migrants to Italy on unsuitable inflatable boats.
The prospect of returning to Libya after you ’ ve been rescued seems to keep many from making the trip at all.
The deterrence factor works.
The EU has been betting on this for a long time, not just since the last summit in June.
Successful cooperation between Spain and Morocco However, now on the route Morocco - Spain in the west of the Mediterranean are not the migrants who have tried their luck in Libya.
According to the Moroccan branch of Frontex, the main countries of origin of migrants arriving in Spain by boat are Morocco and Mali.
The refugees who have been trying to reach Italy in recent months have come mainly from Tunisia and Eritrea.
Refugees land on a Spanish beach after crossing Gibraltar in an inflatable boat It is suggested that the Moroccan authorities no longer prevent the departure of migrants from their ports and beaches, or simply turn a blind eye to it.
So far, cooperation between Spanish and Moroccan border guards has worked well when it comes to preventing migrants from crossing the strait between Morocco and Spain.
For such cooperation, Morocco has been receiving money from the European Union and Spain for more than a decade.
From the EU budget alone, 70 million euros were allocated for border protection.
In the coming years, Morocco and Algeria will receive an additional 55 million EU grants to strengthen border controls.
For more than a decade, the Spanish Coast Guard has been cooperating intensively with Mauritania.
During this time, the number of migrants arriving from the African coast to the Canary Islands has dropped sharply.
Spain has already requested emergency financial assistance from the EU for the construction of housing for migrants.
The EU should immediately seize the moment and create the first migration center - something that the heads of state and government envisaged at the summit as a voluntary opportunity.
Final decisions on the granting of refugee status should be made at such migration centres as soon as possible.
Refused applicants must be sent directly to their countries of origin.
But that's in theory.
The practical implementation of this plan may fail because Spain does not have a treaty on the return of refugees and migrants with the countries from which they come, and also because none of the EU member states will accept refugees who have received this status in Spain.
However, the EU can at least try to see what comes out of the decisions taken at the summit in practice.
Gerald Knaus, a prominent migration researcher who worked out a migration agreement between the EU and Turkey, urgently advises to use the growing number of refugees arriving in Spain as a chance to test the theory in practice.
However, Spain will try to avoid this, because it can push even more migrants to try to cross, even if there is at least a remote opportunity to quickly obtain refugee status in Spain and the European Union in the new migration center.
A new political conflict in the EU is predetermined, because Spain demands a "European solution", without specifying what it should consist of.
France, Belgium and Germany, in turn, can expect an increase in the number of migrants.
After all, experience shows that those who have been refused asylum, often go from Spain to the north - no matter how and despite all the "Dublin regulations".
Author: Bernd Riegert, DW columnist This comment expresses the author ’ s personal opinion.
It may not coincide with the opinion of the Russian edition and Deutsche Welle in general.
See also: The path of refugees to Europe: the last stop - the Mediterranean Sea "Flagrant case" the Mediterranean Sea.
On the water, among the wreckage of an inflatable rescue boat, are the corpses of a woman and a child.
They are refugees from Africa who tried to reach the shores of Europe, but died at sea due to the fault of the Libyan coast guard.
Flavio Di Giacomo, spokesman for the International Organization for Migration (IOM), called the incident a “blatant case. ”
The journey of refugees to Europe: the last stop - the Mediterranean Sea On the verge of death This woman was lucky.
Rescuers of the Spanish non-governmental organization Proactiva Open Arms literally caught her in the open sea.
Apparently, she was left to die by soldiers of the Libyan coast guard - after she refused to return with them to Libya.
The refugees ’ journey to Europe: the last stop is the Mediterranean Sea How volunteer rescuers Captain Mark Reig Creus and the head of the rescue mission Anabel Montes are trying to locate the inflatable boat.
Activists of the non-governmental organization Proactiva Open Arms have suspicions that it may be a ship with refugees on board.
A member of the volunteer rescue team of the organization Proactiva Open Arms Esther Kamps with the help of huge binoculars tries to detect people in distress in the sea.
Just a few days ago, a rescue team found a damaged inflatable boat in the Mediterranean Sea and pulled a woman out of the water.
Another woman and child could not be helped, at the time of discovery by rescuers, both were dead.
Rescuers left to die wrapped the bodies of the victims in plastic wrap.
“Representatives of the Libyan coast guard reported that they found a boat with 158 refugees on board, – wrote on Twitter the founder of the human rights organization Oscar Kamps. – But they did not say that they left on board two women and one child after they refused to go to the Libyan ship, and then sank the boat. ”
The refugee journey to Europe: the last stop - the Mediterranean Sea On the way to Spain The end of the tragic story of salvation: the ship of the humanitarian organization Proactiva Open Arms moves in the direction of the Spanish port.
The fate of a woman who miraculously escaped death is not yet known.

American magazine will publish an unpublished story Hemingway
|
The work could be read by its researchers and students.
An unpublished story by Ernest Hemingway will be published in the American magazine Strand Magazine.
"In our 55th issue, we are proud to present an unpublished story by Ernest Hemingway entitled 'The Room on the Garden Side'.
The short story takes place at the Ritz Hotel in Paris and is told on behalf of a man named Robert, who is also called "The Pope".
This is a vivid description of the soldiers, tired of the war, but hoping for the future.
Hemingway researcher Kirk Cornutt will write an afterword in which he will describe the historical and biographical context of this work. ”
The publication clarifies that it received permission to publish from the copyright owner.
Recall that after the death of the cult writer Terry Pratchet, all his unpainted works were destroyed: the hard disk on which the files were stored was crushed with the help of a steam roller, as the writer bequeathed.

Gokhan Bachik: Ukraine and Turkey should develop mechanisms of international cooperation as soon as possible
|
The visit of Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan to Kiev once again drew attention to the bilateral relations between Kiev and Ankara.
Countries that are not so far apart have not yet developed normal cooperation mechanisms.
Experts from both sides of the Black Sea agree that the growth of trade turnover between the countries is, of course, good, but diplomatic relations should also intensify.
Particularly important is the issue of visa-free regime between the two countries – during the visit, it is possible to sign an agreement on the abolition of the visa regime.
Finally, Ankara itself recognizes that its diplomatic movement eastward toward the Arab world must somehow be balanced by its relations with its neighbors.
That is why the visit of the Turkish leader is so important.
On the relations between Ukraine and Turkey, achievements and losses in the diplomatic field between these countries and the future of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation Organization, Glavred spoke with Gokhan Bachok, an adjunct professor of international relations at the Turkish University of Zirve.
Mr. Gokhan, what, in your opinion, should both sides expect from the visit of Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan to Kiev?
Frankly, Turkey and Ukraine plan to strengthen the strategic partnership program at the highest level.
Both countries now need new markets and expanded areas of influence, both in terms of geography and industry.
Their interests must now extend from Eastern Europe to the Middle East.
On the other hand, we must always remember that the global economic crisis has changed the world.
Europe in the post-crisis period is changing its attitude to the countries of the East of the continent, and these countries themselves are no longer so attractive for investment.
So, Greece is on the verge of default, other countries, such as Bulgaria and Romania, also faced similar problems.
Therefore, for Turkish foreign policy, the Ukrainian direction is a good alternative.
On the other hand, Ukraine can greatly help Ankara reduce its dependence on Russia in the northern direction.
Therefore, this visit can be a very symbolic step of mutual understanding between the two countries of the Black Sea region to adopt a new agenda in relations after the economic crisis.
Another positive factor of this visit may be the weakening of criticism of the eastern direction of Turkish foreign policy.
After all, Ankara has recently been condemned for its great attention to the affairs of the Middle East.
This visit should show the multi-vector nature of Turkish diplomacy, especially aimed at Europe.
You mentioned the distortions of Turkish foreign policy towards the Middle East and Arab countries, which has been very noticeable recently.
Do you think Ankara is interested in deepening ties with Europe and Ukraine?
The biggest incentive for Turkish diplomacy to move east is the economy.
The Justice and Development Party, which has been ruling since 2001, understands that the growing middle class in the country needs new markets.
And the countries of the Middle East and Africa are now attractive for us precisely because of their investment opportunities.
Therefore, to consider such a policy only as an ideological advance to the east is not too far-sighted.
This activity is carried out on the basis of economic interests.
On the other hand, Turkey has been waiting for an invitation to the European Union since 1957.
And during all this time, we did not see any special steps of Europe towards us.
If Brussels does not meet us in the near future, then joining the EU will lose its attractiveness for the inhabitants of Turkey.
No government can convince its citizens of the need to integrate into Europe for 50 years if there is no tangible progress.
And what does such a change in Turkish politics mean for Ukraine?
It will be a positive thing for Kiev.
After all, Ankara can become a bridge for establishing long-term partnerships between Kiev and the states of the Middle East.
As an energy transit country, Ukraine must decide on its position vis-à-vis the States of the region.
Without a clear position on this issue, it will feel a certain influence of Russian policy.
What, in your opinion, are the most important problems in relations between Ukraine and Turkey that the parties need to correct in this direction immediately in order to strengthen cooperation?
The most important problem in the relations between the two countries, in my opinion, is the lack of working schemes for mutually beneficial partnership.
A lot is done from case to case.
The so-called adhoc system operates, when relations are established and commissions are created only for a specific case, and then cease to operate.
In my opinion, both sides should work out a mechanism for permanent cooperation between the countries as soon as possible.
Then, all the influence of third countries on these relations should be reduced to a minimum.
It is necessary that these were negotiations between only two presidents or prime ministers.
Finally, it is necessary to define the framework of cooperation between Ukraine and Turkey: it will be bilateral contacts, cooperation within the framework of pan-European processes or an exchange of views within the framework of integration in the Black Sea region.
In other words, the philosophy of the Ukrainian-Turkish contacts is not yet fully clear to all parties.
For example, in such very important issues as energy or migration, it is now necessary to create mechanisms of interaction, at least such as between Ankara and Brussels.
The same level of cooperation is needed in the scientific and educational sphere.
Now, despite the geographical proximity, neither side has a clear idea of what exactly is happening in the politics of the other.
And what events would you attribute to the achievements in bilateral relations between the countries?
Unfortunately, there are not many such victories.
I believe that such an achievement can be the international project "Nabucco", which is now beginning to actively build.
At the same time, despite the economic crisis, the volume of trade between countries is constantly growing.
However, in my opinion, the greatest achievement in our relations, that is, the creation of a new political corridor between Europe and Russia, is still ahead.
This is vital for both of our countries.
During the visit, the leaders of Ukraine and Turkey intend to discuss, and possibly sign an agreement on the abolition of the visa regime.
Do you think this will have a positive impact on trade and tourism flows in the region?
We must understand that we live in a global world, so the removal of the vast majority of political and trade obstacles should be the main priority of the foreign policy of most countries of the world.
The abolition of the visa regime, in my opinion, will quickly expand opportunities in the tourism sector between our countries and lead to the growth of other industries.
It is necessary to understand that medium and small companies become the engine that pushes the economy of any country forward.
And severe restrictions on visa matters and the high price of consular services can lead to restrictions on their international activities.
Therefore, removing these barriers is the first task for our countries.
In recent years, Ukraine and Turkey have expressed the need to intensify cooperation within the framework of the BSEC.
In your opinion, is this regional organization successful?
The main problem of the BSEC is that each member country of this organization has its own strategic interests and strategic partners, on which they are guided.
The organization of the Black Sea Economic Community is not a priority for these countries.
So far, the visa relaxation system similar to the European one has not started to work within the BSEC.
There is also no effective data and student exchange program signed in the city of Erasmus.
BSEC remains a diplomatic platform for consultations that can provide an exchange of views among state leaders, but has not become the leading direction of their foreign policy.
In short, BSEC has failed to create an interregional identity around the Black Sea.
The reason for this is the large differences between its member countries.
At the same time, in many BSEC countries, for some time, the focus on European integration alone has become the main one, while other integration processes have faded into the background.
Therefore, in my opinion, the future of this organization in the coming years is rather gloomy.
However, some reforms, such as the creation of a BSEC secretariat or councils, could revitalize the organization.
On the other hand, we must be prepared to create a few limited councils within this organization.
It will include countries that have much in common and can move forward under its auspices in various areas of cooperation.
For example, a council of the western part of the Black Sea, which will include Romania, Ukraine, Greece and Turkey, could soon be created.
And now it will consider very specific regional goals.

Turkish analyst: “Behind the collapse of the Turkish and Russian currencies are the United States ”
|
The collapse of the Russian ruble and the Turkish lira, as well as the processes taking place on the world stock and commodity exchanges in his interview with Yenicag.Ru commented the director of the Turkish Research Center for Energy Policy and Strategy (TESPAM) Oguzkhan Akyener. Russian ruble and Turkish lira?
Oguzkhan Akyener – Let ’ s start with the fact that the change in US financial policy has had an impact on the currency markets of all world countries, not only Russia, Iran and Turkey.
The economies of such countries as India, Brazil, Argentina, Indonesia, Egypt, Thailand and others have suffered from this policy.
The exchange rates of the national currencies of these countries were negative, and they depreciated against the dollar.
The process is connected with the policy of Trump, who does not want to cede leadership to such rich countries as Britain and China.
It all started with the fact that the US flooded the whole world with dollars, which penetrated into the vaults of all world banks, and now Trump “summoned ” these dollars back to the US, from which the world economy was devoured.
This can be regarded as an attempt by the US to preserve its internal independence and strengthen its influence over the whole world.
This approach to the situation allows us to see the true cause of the collapse of the Russian ruble and the Turkish lira.
Another option to find out the reasons for the collapse of these currencies may be the level of influence of foreign capital on the economies of a number of countries and the regional policy of the United States, which in one way or another will play the role of an external factor for reformatting the political and economic atmosphere in this region of the globe.
– Is it possible to regard the collapse of the financial markets of Turkey and Russia as a carefully planned action of the West?
In the near future, such shocks are expected, which will certainly lead to economic cataclysms? – Most likely, this plan was developed in the Pentagon, analysts of this department, on which the White House strongly depends politically.
The change in parity in some countries is not the main reason for the collapse of these currencies.
In the ongoing global confrontation, China, Britain and a number of EU countries will retain their full and influence and will try to implement their strategies against the Pentagon strategy.
Naturally, both in the near and in the long term, shocks in world markets are not excluded because the scale of the crisis is too large to cover more and more countries.
– Are the measures taken by the Turkish government sufficient to minimize the economic damage that this crisis wave will cause? – At the moment, the Turkish government, using its ties with other countries and developed anti-crisis projects, is trying to stop the negative process in the economy, on the stock exchanges, attracting new economic players to the market, both internal and external.
Maybe these measures will not benefit immediately, but in the near future will radically change the situation in the economy.
Naturally, living in such harsh conditions, the Turkish state is ready to prevent such large-scale attacks, strong pressure from geopolitical opponents and I have no doubt that the government has an anti-crisis concept. – Soon the West will adopt new sanctions against Russia, which is one of Turkey ’ s important and very large foreign trade partners.
How will the deepening economic crisis in Russia affect the Turkish economy? – The application of new sanctions against Russia is on the agenda.
Of course, these sanctions will weaken Russia and have a negative impact on the economies of those countries that are closely associated with it.
But we must not forget that every risk creates an opportunity.
And in this regard, with the help of joint actions and plans, Russia, Turkey and other countries together will be able to endure this difficult period and come out of it with minimal damage.
Prices are falling rapidly.
Do you think this trend will continue and how it will affect the world economy? - If we analyze the price quotations in the oil market, we will see that production is several times higher than consumption.
Against the background of the rise in the price of the dollar against the rest of the world ’ s currencies, the fall in oil prices is a highly expected process.
If you look at the root of the question, then for the period 2018-2020, the projected price for one barrel of oil is 70-80 US dollars.
I expect prices to change in this area.
If the fall in oil prices harms such US adversaries as Russia, for example, but is quite satisfied with their other opponent.
China is one of the largest consumers of black gold.
In addition, low oil prices have a negative impact on the incomes of the American oil giants themselves, which mine black gold domestically.
In the end, we believe that with the help of Allah, Turkey and its allies will emerge from this crisis period with minimal losses.

Artist Iryna Tretyak: in Ukraine there is no culture of visiting exhibitions and museums
|
On the website "Glavred" there was a chat with the artist Irina Tretyak, whose work is widely known both in Ukraine and abroad.
One of the most famous works of the artist is “Pomegranate ”, and during the chat Irina told about her.
Communicating with readers, she told what prevents the artist from developing in Ukraine, how much art is in demand in our country compared to foreign countries, what can an artist do to unite society when there is a war in his country, what is “real art ”, and also whether the artist can live and feed himself only with his own creativity.
We present the transcript of the chat with Irina Tretyak.
Dinka: What do you think you can do in an hour, if you are in a foreign country, in order to meet people, change the degree of aggression?
Who is the artist to bring the country to the world?
Let 's talk about your creativity.
Irina Tretyak: Artists are carriers of beauty, and a little bit of magic, so they should create as much as possible, embodying peace and love in their creations.
Create and make exhibitions.
Dinka: Irino, you have directly told your interviewees about those who are a commercial artist, you are saving your life, and you are all happy to go.
That's the way it is.
Say, and what does not get you as the "earthly moment" - create for the sake of the work?
What does not suffer from the result?
If you don't get a taste of the potty, do you want to move?
Irina Tretyak: Well, as you can see, no.:) On the contrary, I manage to cope with it well.
I paint pictures, first of all, for my own mental pleasure, but at the same time I do not hide the fact that I earn this for a living.
I chose the most difficult way, when the artist lives with the sale of his creations.
I don't see anything wrong with that.
Olga _ _: Please tell us, those who could not be in Lviv today, about your current exhibition in this city.
:) What is it dedicated to?
Your impressions, discoveries, thought-conclusions?
:) Thanks in advance.
Iryna Tretyak: The exhibition in Lviv aroused extraordinary interest among both Lviv residents and tourists.
A lot of visitors, a lot of people take pictures with pictures or just take pictures of the works themselves.
We even had to extend the exhibition until July 18.
So everyone who will be in Lviv can come to the gallery "Madame Palmgren" opposite the Dominican Cathedral and see everything with their own eyes.
This is an exhibition that I myself have materialized and I am very happy about it.
I really like this city, I feel very comfortable here.
Inga: What do you think about the artist in our country?
Irina Tretyak: Only laziness, unbelief in yourself and your strength.
Inga: Irino, how do you enter, what are the requirements in Ukraine and the assessment of the formation of the mystery?
Ukrainian people appreciate the painting, what is the difference with the "popit" of the society on this kind of mystery in other countries?
Irina Tretyak: To my great regret, everything is very bad with this.
In Ukraine, only attempts are made to develop the art sphere, there is no culture of visiting exhibitions and museums.
Now, being at the exhibition of their paintings in Lviv, I can say for sure that foreigners are much more interested in art.
Vega: What picture of the already written by you do you consider a landmark for yourself and why?
Irina Tretyak: Definitely "Pomegranate".
I never made a bet on this picture, the priority was always other works.
But people who visited my personal exhibitions and collective, always paid special attention to the "Pomegranate", and after a while began to associate me with this picture, so, having carefully analyzed everything, I decided that it would become a landmark picture on my creative path.
Vega: What message do you strive to convey to people with your creativity?
Irina Tretyak: I do what I love, what I enjoy and put my soul into it.
I believe that my paintings bring good luck to new owners, at least that ’ s what people tell me themselves.
My paintings are one hundred percent depiction of love!
Lidia: In one of the publications about you in 2015, it was said that the famous jewelry brand of Ukraine is negotiating with you about creating jewelry with the motifs of your paintings.
Has this idea been realized yet?
Irina Tretyak: Partly.
But that ’ s not exactly what I want, and I don ’ t do what I don ’ t like.
I am always open to proposals for cooperation, I am sure everything is still ahead.
Lidia: What famous people have your paintings?
How many of your works are in foreign collections, in which countries?
Irina Tretyak: Once again, I consider it unethical to name the names of people who acquire my paintings.
Yes, quite a lot of works are in private collections around the world - this is Switzerland, France, America, Latvia, Thailand and several other countries, I can not remember everything.
Lidia: What is the reason for the fact that the color red prevails in your paintings?
Irina Tretyak: I have loved this color since childhood and easily cope with it.
Red is an absolute reflection of me and my character, and my favorite shade is bright scarlet.
Malinka: Irina, tell me, do you easily part with your paintings, for example, when you sell them?
Does it happen that it is difficult to part with some canvas and treat it as a child?
Irina Tretyak: Strangely enough, very easy.
Even she herself was surprised.
But after all, the paintings get a new life, a continuation, and I am certainly happy about it.
Simka: What can an artist live in Ukraine and be creative?
Irina Tretyak: As you can see, I am a living example of this.
For me, painting is not only a favorite thing, but also a way of existence.
The main thing is to believe in what you are doing and not stop on the way.
Simka: How much do you wear in the middle of your robots?
What is the most expensive painting, how did you sell it?
Irina Tretyak: I won 't tell you how much. Expensive.
:) The most expensive, of course, "Grenade".
I think this picture is magical.
After all, it brings people not only aesthetic pleasure, but also luck - I have heard about it more than once from people who became owners of paintings from this series.
Simka: What do you call your style and technique, in what do you create?
Irina Tretyak: This is an author 's volumetric technique, which I modified for myself.
Few artists write in this style, several in America and Holland.
In Ukraine, I am the only one who has mastered it.
All because I always want to be different, to be different, to be recognizable.
I've had this since I was a kid.
Banana: They say that the criterion that will always determine what is real art and what is not is time.
Which of your paintings do you think will be remembered a hundred or more years from now?
Which of your current colleagues do you think will remain in history?
Irina Tretyak: Who speaks?
And what is the criterion of real art?
Who will determine or determine it?
This is all very difficult, there are many questions and many answers.
You can develop a whole discussion, and believe me, there will be hundreds of answers.
You can just invest a lot of money and promote the artist or picture, find the right approach and the right idea of a particular author.
In general, we can talk about this topic endlessly.
I can give you my own example.
I, while preparing for my first solo exhibition, understood that I needed an iconic picture, a picture by which I would be recognized, with which the name "Irina Tretyak" would be associated, but I categorically did not want to take some picture myself and did not do it.
I wanted people to choose this painting for themselves.
So it happened, I made absolutely no effort to promote the "Grenade".
On the contrary, stubbornly a year did not notice this picture, but this did not prevent it from becoming famous.
I am sure that this picture of mine has a great future!
As for who of the colleagues will remain in history, then I may seem selfish, but I will not be modest and say this: it will definitely be me!
:) Banana: Irina, it is no secret that contemporary art is sometimes shocking.
For example, someone paints with his chest, someone... let's not specify what, someone creates some crazy installations...
How do you feel about that?
Do you understand such things?
Irina Tretyak: You know, I don ’ t waste my time on something that I ’ m not interested in, so I ’ m not even going to understand it.
It ’ s just like the classic writers don ’ t understand me, and I don ’ t ask.
Everyone has the right to life.
Why not.
Rika: Does it happen to you that the ideas of paintings come, like a table of chemical elements in Mendeleev, in a dream?
In general, when you begin to write a picture, do you already present it in detail and simply "materialize" on the canvas, or does everything come and change in the process?
Irina Tretyak: It is always different.
I always knew I was going to be a famous artist.
I am such a spontaneous person that you can expect anything from me.
Rather, I will materialize on canvas what I want in ordinary life.
Koroleva Ekaterina: Irina, where do you get inspiration, what do you do in situations where you need to create and draw (to order), but do not want to?
Irina Tretyak: My inspiration is myself, or rather my emotional state.
I am a very emotional person, so anything can inspire me!
They are especially inspired by successful people.
When you don't want to, you have to.
I turn on and immerse myself in the work completely, realizing that I have no other choice, but the work must be done.
Elena Deineka: If you were asked to make the world a better place, where would you start?
Irina Tretyak: With a good mood, with positive emotions, with the right attitude and writing a positive picture!
I believe that my paintings are already making the world a better place.
Ekaterina Gorbach: Tell us, please, how did your journey as an artist begin?
Everyone in life has a "magic springboard", a mysterious confluence of circumstances when a person truly finds himself.
Who or what in your life was this decisive springboard into the world of art?
Irina Tretyak: And I always knew that I would be a creative person, it could only be so and nothing else!
I started drawing before I walked.
I remember when I was three years old, and I was already painting.
No one believed in me except myself, and my faith in myself is always limitless.
A springboard, or rather a kick, was the disbelief of relatives in me and the reluctance to help and support me, I, in turn, had a goal - to prove to everyone that I can.
Anastasia Marinchuk: Tell us a little about your creative plans.
And how does the idea of painting come to you?
JOHN: I always have a lot of plans.
But I am a very emotional and spontaneous person.
I make decisions at lightning speed, so I can turn everything upside down in a moment, just because I want to.
So comes the idea of writing a picture, I can start with one, and the final result will be completely different.
I always listen to myself, it is very important for me to be in harmony with myself.
As for exhibitions and events, I always participate somewhere.
Now this is an exhibition in Lviv, before that I was an art partner of the Boom awards 2017, in a month it will be Rome, then Dubai.
Alexandra Lyskova: Is the plot of the new picture already in the sketch?
What do you draw inspiration from?
Irina Tretyak: Sketches of a picture are always only in my head, and I have, believe me, a very stormy imagination and a lot of ideas.
The main inspiration for something is always me.
Elena Korsunenko: How long have you been engaged in creativity and how much time in the day you devote to it?
Irina Tretyak: All my life.
I am interested in absolutely everything related to creativity, and I comprehend it, I like to learn, to self-educate.
I'm lucky I don't go to work.
What I do is my lifestyle, my favorite thing, my passion, my hobby.
I dedicate myself to artistic activities 24 hours a day.
I do what I like, what brings me pleasure.
And I ’ m glad it makes other people happier.
Elena Mironenko: Questions about creativity: 1.
Are you in any mood, or are you waiting for the muse to visit you?
Could you trade your desire to create for something else? For what?
Why would you give up creativity? 3.
What is your best picture – one that hasn ’ t been painted yet?
Or already? 4.
What is your main character trait in creativity?
Irina Tretyak: 1) In any case.
After all, I chose the most difficult path, when the artist is engaged only in paintings and lives only from this!
And believe me, it is very difficult, here you have to be not only an artist, but also a marketer and salesman, a psychologist, a designer, a PR specialist, a kind of "universal soldier".
That ’ s why I always create!
2) I don ’ t even know.
I am a creative person to the bone, I am always creative.
The only thing I would do for my creativity is family and children.
3) I would like to think that it is still ahead.
But I know for sure that my "Garnet" has already determined the vector of recognition.
4) Stubbornness and perseverance.
I am a very stubborn person both in life and in creativity.
Actually, I'm the same in that, and in that, I don't have masks, I don't like it.
I know that many people do not like my stubbornness and integrity, but I am the way I am, and I believe that it was in my profession that these traits helped me to achieve what I have today.
Julia Boyko: What or who is your greatest inspiration?
Irina Tretyak: I myself am the biggest and most faithful inspirer.
Elena Mironenko: 1.
Do you remember the last time you had to blush?
Under what circumstances was it? 2.
What do you think is most important? 3.
Your favorite female image (from film, literature, history)?
What would you like to be like? 4.
What unusual skill would you like to have (the ability to fly, read thoughts, etc.)?
What is the most difficult thing for you to forgive people?
I wish you good luck!
Sincerely, Elena Mironenko.
Irina Tretyak: 1. Oh!
:) It's hard to even remember.
It's hard to get me to blush, there's nothing to put me in paint.
:) Probably because I love the color red very much. 2.
That, despite all the hardships and obstacles, I have already been able to reach certain heights.
To become a famous artist only because of his stubbornness, his faith in himself, without anyone's help, including relatives.
I have no idols.
Most likely it would be some collective image of a beautiful, stylish, sexy, confident and successful woman.
Here from the ability to read thoughts, I would definitely not refuse, since I have been fond of psychology for a long time and try to read them all the same.
Thank you very much, Elena.
There's probably nothing I can't forgive.
Everything has its own time and circumstances, because we ourselves are not sinless.
There are just human qualities that I don ’ t like — hypocrisy, sycophancy, lies.
Vasily Tattoo: Irina, would you like to try your hand at least once, the potential in tattoo culture, i.e. as a tattoo master, to switch from linen to live?
Irina Tretyak: Of course!
I ’ m always open to experimentation and I like it.
Tattoo is also a kind of painting, just another canvas.
I ’ m sure I ’ ll have that opportunity again!
Yegor Kletsov: Irina, what kind of a man should you like?
Irina Tretyak: I perceive everything intuitively, including men.
It has to be "my" man on an intuitive level, everything else doesn't matter.
I won't be bribed by who he is or what he does.
If a person does not like me, I do not even pay attention to him and do not waste my time communicating with him.
Olga Tretyak: Interested in an exhibition in the Verkhovna Rada.
Why erotic?
How did you get to the Rada?
Irina Tretyak: This is the most popular question.
It was not an erotic exhibition.
Of the 30 paintings presented at the exhibition in BP, only four or five works were of an erotic nature.
There were just people who wanted to spoil my reputation and ordered certain articles, hence the erotic exhibition.
To get to the Verkhovna Rada, it was enough just to write a letter to one of the deputies with a request to organize an exhibition.
That's all.
Marina Podorozhnaya: Do you have an art education?
Iryna Tretyak: No, I don ’ t have an art education.
I guess I have a case when it is given from above.
I always knew how to draw, for me it is not difficult.
But I love self-education, I always learn and strive for perfection.
I often do my own exams.
Tretyak: Are there any famous people among the owners of your paintings?
And who is that?
Irina Tretyak: Yes, there are politicians, businessmen, and many collectors.
But I think it would be unethical to call their names.
I am proud that my paintings were in the personal collection of Bogdan Dmitrievich Gavrilishin.
He is a great man.
I'm glad I knew him personally.
And I say this only because he asked me to say that in his collection there are my paintings.
There are paintings in the collections of public people, artists, for example, the singer Ingrid.
