Russians aged 50 and over can follow distance retraining programs at 85 universities across the country as part of the federal project` `Promotion of employment ', which is part of the national' Demography 'project. This is reported by TASS.
The agency clarifies that the objective of the project is to help citizens improve their skills and their demand in the labor market. After completing the training, Russians will be able to change their profession or open their own business as an individual or independent entrepreneur. In addition, the new qualification will help program participants find employment for remote work in IT, programming, finance, human resource management, design and multimedia. . & Nbsp;
It is expected that by the end of 2021, 56,000 people in different professional spheres, “said Mikhail Shepel, director of the Interregional Center for Continuing Education and Promotion of employment, head of TSU IDO.
Previously, it was reported that a third of university teachers wanted to change jobs.
Analysts have learned from residents of large cities in Russia how they assess the ecological situation of their city. RT shared the results of the study.
It should be noted that Tyumen was the leader in scoring, since & nbsp; the ecological situation & nbsp; in the city suits & nbsp; 74% of respondents. Krasnodar and Kazan are also in the top three – 73% and 72% of respondents are respectively happy with the environment there. The top 10 includes Naberezhnye Chelny, Vladivostok, Barnaul, Perm, Kirov, Khabarovsk and Izhevsk (from 63% to 68%). & Nbsp;
Internal hatches will be closed on the International Space Station due to the threat of space debris, according to the United States Space Flight Operations Center.
The hatches between the & nbsp; the main modules will be closed on Tuesday, November 16. It is expected that the astronauts will open them after the completion of the satellite debris tracking work.
On the eve of the & nbsp; International Space Station & nbsp; a satellite debris approached. In a single day, space debris passed the ISS several times. The station suffered no damage.
According to RIA Novosti, cosmonauts Anton Shkaplerov and Piotr Dubrovnik, as well as American astronaut Mark Vande Hai, were on board the Soyuz MS-19 spacecraft docked at the station, and astronauts Raja Chari, Thomas Marshburn, Kayla Barron and European Space Agency German cosmonaut Matthias Maurer are aboard Crew Drago.
There is little time left for the escape maneuver.
As a reminder, on November 10, the International Space Station escaped a wreckage of the Chinese satellite Fengyun-1C. For this, its orbit has been adjusted.
NASA will not be able to meet the original moon landing schedule, the dates will have to be shifted by several years. This conclusion was drawn in his report by the Inspector General of the US Space Agency Paul Martin.
Previously, NASA had announced that it would deliver astronauts to the Earth satellite in 2024. Then the chief of service, Bill Nelson, called the landing date of 2025. & nbsp;
However, according to the Inspector General, that won't be possible either. & Nbsp;
Paul Martin stressed that the development and testing of the lander and new spacesuits will take at least several years. Therefore, the dates will be closer to 2030.
November 15th & nbsp; our country is celebrating conscript day . To prepare for & nbsp; service in & nbsp; Russian Armed Forces, young men start school & nbsp; & mdash; on & nbsp; life safety basics courses, five-day training camps and & nbsp; even in the & nbsp; cyberspace. The modern army cannot exist without information technologies, but & nbsp; therefore appreciates recruits having & nbsp; experience in & nbsp; programming and & nbsp; eSports, versed in digital technologies and & nbsp; feeling confident in the & nbsp; virtual world.
Based on the Moscow center “ Patriot.Sport & # 39; & # 39; the Regional Center for the Preparation of Citizens for & nbsp; military service and & nbsp; military and patriotic education of the city of Moscow works. It is he who & nbsp; is the organizer of most of the events where future conscripts in the capital will learn to serve in the army, and & nbsp; will acquire the skills and & nbsp; skills required.
Real Training: Five Day Boot Camp
The main focus of pre-conscription youth training is a five day boot camp. It is part of the discipline of basic military service, which is part of the compulsory school curriculum. The only operator of training camps in the capital is the Moscow Center “ Patriot.Sport. & # 39; & # 39; Muscovites can do it on the & nbsp; base of the educational and methodological center Avangard, military units, and & nbsp; also on the & nbsp; own site of the Moscow Patriot.Sport center & nbsp; & mdash; in & nbsp; educational center “ Patriot & # 39; & # 39; .
& laquo; Fresh in & nbsp; & bdquo; Patriot & ldquo; there are tenth graders and second year students who have achieved the best results in sports competitions, championships and & nbsp; olympics. The motivated guys who come to & nbsp; get everything they need to fully prepare for the Army. Center & bdquo; Patriot & ldquo; & nbsp; & mdash; This is a suburban area, on which there are classrooms, dormitories, stadium, sports fields, parade ground, obstacle courses, booths, pneumatic, laser and biathlon shooting and much more. Training camp participants study military regulations, undergo physical, tactical, combat, military medical and nbsp; training. firepower, meet radiation, chemical, and fire protection standards biological. According to the results of & nbsp ;, all young men receive certificates that confirm that they are not ready & nbsp; only for & nbsp; serve in the army of & nbsp ;, mais & nbsp; and & nbsp; for & nbsp; study at & nbsp; military universities, & nbsp; & mdash; said the first deputy director of the Moscow Center “ Patriot.Sport '', the head of the Regional Center for the preparation of citizens for & nbsp; military service and & nbsp; military-patriotic education of the city of Moscow Igor Melnichenko .
В & nbsp; 2020 & ndash; In the 2021 academic year, more than 40,500 people attended training camps in the capital. Almost half of them & nbsp; & mdash; in & nbsp; 'Patriot'.
Some of the children attended the lessons in the & nbsp; educational and methodological center “ Avangard . The fees here are distinguished by increased attention to modern technologies. The program is based on a game model, in which children interact with & nbsp; (IRA). In addition, in & nbsp; “ Vanguard '' tenth graders are engaged in various simulators.
To & nbsp; 'Patriot' centers and & nbsp; Avant-garde there are online platforms. During the & nbsp; period of epidemiological restrictions, training camps are held both in person with & nbsp; compliance with all requirements, and & nbsp; in & nbsp; from a distance.
“ A rich curriculum helps keep young people interested in military service and dispels myths about the military. As a result, Moscow fulfills the established task for conscription for many years and has no shortage of candidates wishing to enter the universities of the Ministry of Defense and other power structures, & nbsp; & mdash; noted the military commissioner of the city of Moscow Viktor Schepilov .
Virtual training: e-sports and & nbsp; cybersecurity
Unusual simulators and & nbsp; online training at & nbsp; five day training camp & mdash; far from the only way to use modern technologies in the pre-conscription training of schoolchildren. Cybersports and cybersecurity training programs play an important role in enhancing the prestige of the military.
Esports develops reaction speed and assimilation of information, trains the ability to think strategically and make tactical decisions quickly, attention, the ability to work effectively in a team and predict the actions of rivals. All these qualities are necessary for a conscript as well as for a professional soldier. In addition, certain genres of computer games often mimic real combat situations and & nbsp; require the player to be able to command a detachment or even an entire army.
Virtual battles are of particular importance to cadets and & nbsp; junior soldiers & nbsp; & mdash; guys who undergo military training on a permanent basis. For them, the Moscow Center “ Patriot.Sport & # 39; & # 39; organizes separate competitions: the Cybercadets and & nbsp; Youth Army Cup , in which thousands of schoolchildren participate each year.
The Cyberpatriot platformoperates on the basis of the Directorate of Information Systems of the Ministry of Defense & nbsp; RF; Cyberpatriote summer 2021 and & nbsp; Moscow Center “ Patriot.Sport & # 39; & # 39; hosted a cybersport tournament “ CYBERARMY & # 39; & # 39; on & nbsp; one of the & nbsp; sites of the Army-2021 International Military-Technical Forum. Moscow cadets, young soldiers and representatives of the Russian schoolchildren movement participated in the Worls of Tanks tank simulator and the Valorant shooter. Anyone could watch the competition on the & nbsp; big screen.
A field of work distinct from the Cyberpatriot & nbsp; & mdash; practical cybersecurity & nbsp; competition … Their & nbsp; members have access to a & nbsp; network that mimics a typical computer network of any large organization. Their & nbsp; task & nbsp; & mdash; find vulnerabilities in the & nbsp; network and & nbsp; eliminate them. One of the & nbsp; the most important of & nbsp; 2020 & ndash; 2021 was the & nbsp; cybersecurity contest 'Defense in Depth' organized by the Moscow Center “ Patriot.Sport & # 39; & # 39; with the support of the Department of Information Systems of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation & nbsp; and & nbsp; Research and production association “ Echelon ''. More than 100 teams of & nbsp; 27 & nbsp; Russian cities participated. Young specialists carried out tasks on the & nbsp; steganography and & nbsp; cryptography, identified vulnerabilities in & nbsp; programs, were engaged in the administration of the network and & nbsp; search for information in & nbsp; open sources. According to the & nbsp; competition results, one of the & nbsp; price place in the & nbsp; category & laquo; Juniors & raquo; was taken by the Moscow school team number & nbsp; 1770.
Competitions and & nbsp; Similar tournaments help future school recruits establish themselves as promising specialists in the field of & nbsp; information technology and cybersecurity and in the future to obtain cooperation opportunities with the Ministry of Defense and the main organizations of the military-industrial complex of our country.
Detailed information about five-day training camps, “ Patriot & # 39; & # 39; s health center and & nbsp; projects for & nbsp; Patriotic education of schoolchildren can be found on the Moscow center website “ Patriot.Sport ''.

An inhabitant of Krasnodar Territory captured a 'cloud of starlings' on video. Dozens of birds formed a real moving cloud, which moved smoothly across the sky. Scientists call this phenomenon the murmur (from the Latin murmuratio “ mumble, buzz ''). AiF.ru has discovered by an expert why birds organize such “aerial dances”.

How many & Birds can a whisper combine and what is it?
Murmur & mdash; this is a poorly understood process that can only be observed in certain species of birds in flight. In addition to the starlings, in Africa, the weavers (a family of the passereau detachment. – Editor's note), who herds millions, organize murmurs, says candidate of biological sciences, ornithologist, principal researcher at the Zoological Museum of University Moscow State. M.V. Lomonosov Evgeny Koblik … So, during the murmur, a flock can gather from one hundred to one million birds and move in the sky in complex shapes.
“ Imagine thousands of birds simultaneously changing direction of flight. Amazing figures appear in the air, made up of thousands of dots. Now they are gathered in a kind of balls, and then they are pulled out by ribbons. In addition, in the same flock some birds can fly, while the other – & mdash; continue to fly horizontally. It & # 39; s a fascinating spectacle & # 39; & # 39 ;, & mdash; rated by expert.
Usually birds show such acrobatics at sunset. Their movement across the sky somewhat resembles the movement of schools of fish underwater, which also show intricate, synchronized shapes.
Why do birds do this?
There are two explanations for this phenomenon. According to the first version, the whisper & mdash; it is the process of teaching young birds to fly.
“ It is assumed that this is how adult starlings teach young birds to fly. But the synchronicity with which they do it doesn't allow us to accept this version to the end. Inexperienced birds would be eliminated from the flock. And here it is evident that the birds are interconnected by invisible biofields and biocurrents, so everything is synchronous. Teaching young people does not work that way. And why, then, don't other species of birds teach young people to fly in this way? & mdash; Koblik pointed out.
The second version, according to the scientist-ornithologist, is more plausible & mdash; the birds are trying to protect themselves.
“Whisper” is a kind of protection from predators. When the herd suddenly begins to change direction, the feathered predators (hawks or hawks), which chase the starlings, lose their orientation and do not know who to catch. But there are also questions here. When schools of fish in the water also change direction, the same dolphins or sharks calmly snatch the fish from the school ',' & mdash; explains the expert.
However, Evgeny Koblik has his own version of the whisper. According to the scientist, “the air dances” about 1.5 & mdash; He managed to see 2,000 starlings in January 2014 in Israel. For half an hour, a Russian ornithologist observed the birds. As a result, he felt like they were just playing.
“We underestimate some birds and animals. It seems to us that they just do what they sleep, looking for food and marriage partners. They have no more actions and emotions. In fact, many very intelligent animals with well-developed brains enjoy ordinary games. Just watch our crows, the otter games, who don't spend so much time hunting. The rest of the time they have fun with each other. Maybe there isn't a utility sense in whispering: increasing flight speed, reaction speed, or something else. It's just a part of the game and it's no stranger to birds. It seems to me that they enjoy such flights. There is even such a scientific term for animals & mdash; comfortable behavior. I think speaking of whispering, we are dealing with elements of comfortable behavior ',' & mdash; thinks Evgeny Koblik.
Is it true that starlings sing while whispering?
No, that's not true. During the whispering period, the starlings communicate with each other with short gas calls. They usually sing in the evening, when they sit on branches before spending the night, the expert summed up.
According to & nbsp; The & nbsp; Sun, the terrorist intended to self-explode in the crowd. But the taxi driver driving the suicide bomber suspected something was wrong, stopped the car, jumped up and locked it before the suicide bomber had time to detonate the bomb. On November 14, the British commemorate their fallen warriors in the First World War.
But the criminal did not carry out his plans. Perry noticed that the passenger was playing with clothes, to which an object was attached. The strange man asked the driver to stop near the cathedral and then proceed to the women's hospital. The restless passenger didn't believe David, and got out of the car, locking the door behind him. As soon as he blocked the car there was an explosion. Only the passenger himself died. The taxi car was also badly burned.
Security experts at International Corporate Defense do not rule out that ISIS (a banned organization in the Russian Federation) may be behind the incident.
Hours after the incident, police arrested three other citizens near the Women Hospital. According to operational information, the hospital was to become the next target of criminal attacks.
David Parry , the suicide bomber in the car, has already been dubbed the hero of Liverpool.
“ David paid a high price to save others, obviously thinking of nothing but doing everything possible to keep the people of our city safe! & # 39; & # 39; & nbsp; & mdash; & nbsp; The Briton & nbsp; Billy Darwin told The Sun.
David Parry was hospitalized after the incident with barotrauma, burns and shrapnel injuries. & nbsp;
My thoughts are with all those affected by the terrible incident in Liverpool today.
I would like to thank the emergency services for their prompt response and professionalism, and the police for their continued work on the investigation.
& mdash; Boris Johnson (@BorisJohnson) November 14, 2021
British Prime Minister & nbsp; Boris Johnson & nbsp; tweeted: 'I am mentally with everyone who has been affected by the terrible Liverpool incident today. I would like to thank the emergency services for their prompt response and professionalism, and the police & mdash; & nbsp; for their constant work. ”
