Plot Spread of a new strain of coronavirus “omicron”
Chinese scientists have discovered a 35B5 monoclonal antibody capable of neutralizing various strains of COVID-19, according to the bioRxiv resource.
According to the scientists, using a cryoelectron microscope, it was possible to discover that the 35B5 antibody affects the part of the virus that does not change during the mutation. This feature allows the 35B5 antibody to be used to create a universal vaccine against various strains of coronavirus.
The researchers speculate that the 35B5 antibody will be able to neutralize the recently emerging omicron strain.
Earlier, doctors from South Africa said those vaccinated faced the best omicron. Most of those infected with the new strain of the disease are mild.
Prior to that, Honored Doctor of Russia, Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences Gennady Onishchenko said that & # 39; There was no reason to panic due to the spread of the new strain. The specialist recalled data from the World Health Organization, according to which, “ omicron '' is more contagious, but according to the doctor, this happens with all the new mutations in the virus. & nbsp;

The Russian government has submitted to the State Duma a bill giving the right to receive maternity capital to men who have children of mothers carriers and who are married, reports the press service of the lower house of parliament. & nbsp;
The initiators of the bill believe that men duly recognized as the sole parent by the father of children born to him since January 1, 2007, as well as the first child born to him since January 1 January 2007, should be entitled to additional state support measures.

Previously, it was reported that the State Duma would consider a plan to expand capacity fathers to receive the mother's capital. Fathers who are raising two or more children alone may be entitled to the payment in the event of the death of their foreign mother.
Digitization is rapidly entering all spheres of life, and now not only large companies but also medium-sized companies need their own IT specialists. Today the country lacks 300,000 ICT employees, despite the fact that almost all technical universities train specialists, bachelors and masters in this field.
Young people have already understood the trend and appreciated the fact that here you can count on decent wages. And the area itself is very appealing to people born in the age of gadgets. Therefore, many are going or planning to go. But in what sense?
After school & ndash; at the university
Vitaly Sergeev from Stavropol after school he entered university, choosing digital security. While still a student, he started working in a company that installs security systems in production facilities. And I realized that I had done the right thing, because the job also became extra education & ndash; he learned practical skills from experienced senior colleagues. 6 years have passed, and now he himself has become a specialist who takes 'under his wing' & # 39; & # 39; youth.
Finish school, choose a specialty and enter a university & ndash; this is the most common way to get vocational training, which works in various fields, including ICT.
But you have to understand that the university & ndash; it's always more of a theory, and practice starts after. Of course, many universities today are calibrating training programs to meet the needs of future employers of their graduates. But ICT & ndash; such a sphere that is developing by leaps and bounds, and it is difficult to follow it.
Some universities have joint programs with major IT players. Having integrated such a program, the student is already closer to the practice, and after the training can even count on a job in a leading company. For example, Mail.Ru & nbsp; Group thus cooperates with 7 universities. The InfoWatch group of companies, as well as foreign IT giants represented in Russia: Microsoft, Huawei, also have programs.
The latter, in particular, is expanding its “ ICT Academy '' since 2015. This is an educational cooperation program that the company offers to educational institutions around the world. In recent years, more than 4,000 students have been trained there. In Russia, 70 universities and colleges have joined the program. It includes courses on networking, storage, cloud computing, artificial intelligence. And last year a new direction appeared – & mdash; Cloud services architect. It & ndash; on using public clouds.
As part of the program, not only students study, but also teachers & ndash; everyone has the opportunity to take exams and become the holder of the international certificate of one of the leaders in the global ICT industry.
However, large companies usually cooperate with renowned universities. Thus, not all young people, especially in the regions, can follow training there. And not all new IT people, especially regions, are going to work in flagship companies. Many will be content with a more modest scale.
In this case, Vitaly's path seems to be the most effective. Mid-sized regional companies will welcome a promising young student who, after graduation, will stay here to work.
This is if we view the situation as an individual. And if we are talking about the country as a whole, then the university course does not cover the needs of computer scientists. Every year, Russian universities and technical schools graduate more than 80,000 graduates, and the need for a year increases by 95,000 people. Over the next 4 years, their number, as suggested by the Ministry of Telecoms and Mass Communications, is expected to be multiplied by 2 – & mdash; up to 1 million people. But that won't cover up the understaffing.
What if there is no friend?
Igor Anikeev from Moscow he entered university, like many of his peers: where did my mother say. Diploma. But working in the 'business economics and finance' specialty by no means inspired him. For a while he was lost in the hustle and bustle, but then a programmer friend offered him to work in pairs. I taught him the basics, and Igor started to help him with his work, immersing himself more and more in this field and simultaneously improving his knowledge and skills. Two years have passed, he started to work independently, and today, after two more years, he realizes that he has already reached a good professional level.
This is also how many children discover ICT. But only those who have programmer friends willing to share their knowledge, make time with a friend, and even able to teach. What if there wasn't such a friend?
Plus, we all understand that you can't 'top up' knowledge once for a lifetime. And in an industry such as ICT, where innovations appear literally every day, even more. Therefore, you should not only constantly improve your professional level, but also understand which sources are best to use for that, i.e. be good at focusing on the area of educational opportunities in the computer field.
Learning from leaders
Alexey Kozakov from Voronezh I went to ICT while still in school & ndash; in addition to his studies, he took programming courses. By the time he graduated from school, he already had orders. Having decided that in classical universities he will no longer be able to acquire the level of knowledge he needs, the guy went the other way & ndash; distance learning courses from Yandex and Mail.Ru & nbsp; Group. “ Graduated from a large, well-known company & ndash; in our field, it is more abruptly than a university degree, ”he believes.
Indeed, the companies that set the tone in the market form programs with practical cases, show current trends in technological development, broaden horizons, enriching computer scientists with the ability to see and think big.
In addition, they organize hackathons and other types of competitions between young professionals and students, and these events become not only an incentive to progress in the profession, but also a good opportunity to improve their professional level by view of their preparation.
In November alone, more than 20 major hackathons were held, including in the field of artificial intelligence and big data analysis, creation of business services, products software and smart products. drones, and even the first hackathon in Russia dedicated to developing items for the Metaverse. Their organizers were Skolkovo and BIA TECHNOLOGIES, production companies from Rosneft and Evraz, VTB and Home Credit banks, government agencies and ANO Russia & ndash; a land of opportunity ', others.
Stage 1 of the Eurasian Huawei competition Cup & nbsp; 2021, hosted in Russia by the international IT giant since 2015, has also ended. Their scale and popularity among Russian computer scientists is evidenced by their participation: more than 20,000 students and young specialists from Russia and Eurasian countries.
Children are drawn to these competitions by the relevance of the directions offered, as the company changes the list of nominations every year so that they correspond to the most advanced trends in the field of ICT. This time, the most popular nominations were: IP network technologies and protocols (10 & nbsp; 116 participants), artificial intelligence models and methods (9 & nbsp; 981), Huawei mobile application design (9 & nbsp; 740), next generation mobile communications technologies and standards (8 & nbsp; 466), data center components (8 & nbsp; 302), ICT browser (5 & nbsp; 715).
In addition, everyone has the opportunity to prepare well for the competition, as the company has opened a free online school with access to their experts' lectures, as well as all educational materials. and homework to prepare for & nbsp; certification exams, which are taken by employees.
Besides, students of classical universities take the opportunity to immerse themselves in the profession in this way. The organizers have provided AiF statistics of the participants & ndash; the most complete entered in the competition (in descending order): Moscow Technical University of Communications and Informatics, MIREA, St. Petersburg State Telecommunications University of the name prof. Bonch-Bruevitch, Moscow Bauman State Technical University, Ural Federal University, ITMO, St. Petersburg, Lomonosov Moscow State University, State University of Telecommunications and Volga Informatics, Samara, Higher School of Economics, Federal University of Kazan. Huawei has established partnerships with many of them.

Plot Criminal case against the Governor of Khabarovsk Territory Sergei Furgala
The preliminary investigation into the case of the ex-governor of the Khabarovsk Territory , Sergei Furgal, is over, his lawyer Dmitri Dovgy told RIA Novosti.
As of December 2, the Defense will begin to study the file on the organization of a criminal community and seven episodes of fraud on a particularly large scale.
He clarified that the day before, Furgalu was charged again. This was done due to a technical error, on November 24th these charges were first laid.
Recall that the ex-governor was detained last summer in Khabarovsk and escorted to Moscow, where the Basmanny court arrested him. The investigation finds that Furgal and Nikolai Mistryukov in 2004 formed an organized group to commit murders of competitors. The politician denies any involvement in the alleged crimes.
Previously, the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation determined that the case would be heard by the Lyubertsy Municipal Court with the participation of a jury.
Russian tourists cannot & nbsp; return home from & nbsp; Africa, their flights were simply canceled. This is & nbsp; discovered on & nbsp; last week the omicron strain. According to & nbsp; Rospotrebnadzor, a distinctive feature of this option is & nbsp; that she has a large number of mutations in the & nbsp; S protein gene, which can make it more contagious, and & nbsp; also affect & nbsp; decrease the effectiveness of antibodies.
The first infected B.1.1.529 was identified in mid-November in Botswana. The 26 & nbsp; November found the first one infected with him & nbsp; in & nbsp; Europe. The patient took the plane for the & nbsp; Belgium from & nbsp; Egypt. Later the virus was registered in & nbsp; Israel, Great Britain, the Netherlands and & nbsp; in Hong Kong.
Thus, from November 26, the British authorities banned their citizens from traveling to South Africa, Botswana, Lesotho, Eswatini, Zimbabwe and Namibia. Similar measures in & nbsp; concerning these countries and the & nbsp; Mozambique were introduced in & nbsp; Israel. Germany, the Netherlands, Austria, Italy and the Czech Republic have also halted flights to Africa. For this & nbsp; reason, Russia from November 28 & nbsp; restricted the entry of foreigners from & nbsp; 10 & nbsp; countries of South Africa and & nbsp; Hong Kong. And & nbsp; today Rospotrebnadzor announced that those arriving in & nbsp; Russia from & nbsp; countries where the omicron strain has been detected, but & nbsp; with & nbsp; who are not & nbsp; open air traffic, will have to get to & nbsp; 14 days of quarantine, and & nbsp; reduced to & nbsp; 48 & nbsp; time.
These & nbsp; airlines that now continue to serve & nbsp; South Africa, bring out their citizens. For example, KLM flights and & nbsp; Lufthansa are only accessible to residents of the European Union with a Schengen visa and a & nbsp; certificate of & nbsp; vaccination against & nbsp; coronavirus with one of the & nbsp; WHO approved drugs.
Working with tourists, diplomats are also looking for ways to deliver Russians back to their home countries. It just isn't anyone can afford such options. One of them costs 15,000 & nbsp; euros. We are talking about a & nbsp; message in the Telegram channel, created by the Consulate General of Russia in & nbsp; Cape Town, where those stuck in & nbsp; Africa were offered to fly on a & nbsp; private flight: & nbsp; ; About in & nbsp; Wednesday December 1 & nbsp; of & nbsp; to the right towards Cape Town & nbsp; of & nbsp; to Cape Town & nbsp; Boeing 737-500 will fly to Uganda and & nbsp; Egypt (private charter). Total flight time & mdash; 15-16 & nbsp; time. Can take 10 to 15 people on board. The flight is chargeable. For & nbsp; any questions, contact & nbsp; Commercial Director of Pro trener Camps Andrey Krylov & raquo;. A few hours later, during another chat with & nbsp; representatives of the Embassy, a more detailed message appeared with & nbsp; the price of the flight.
Tonight the cat of the Russian Consulate General in & nbsp; Cape Town has announced that tourists will be able to travel on the d & nbsp; Ethiopian Airlines scheduled for & nbsp; 3 & nbsp; December. The cost of such a flight on the way to Cape Town & nbsp; & mdash; Addis Ababa & nbsp; & mdash; Moscow economy class will amount to 22,307.75 RSA. At the current rate, this represents more than 100,000 rubles.
Lilia & nbsp; B, a tourist from & nbsp; Russia:
“ I am & nbsp; to & nbsp; now Cape Town, with & nbsp; there is a girl in & nbsp; an inn, its & nbsp; theft was supposed to be the & nbsp; Sunday, and & nbsp; my & nbsp; & mdash; 1 & nbsp; December, but & nbsp; it was also canceled. We & nbsp; learned this from the news, and & nbsp; have received a notification from the & nbsp; airline company. I am & nbsp; very worried about this as i urgently need to get home. Now the tickets aren't cheap, but & nbsp; while there is the only opportunity available to fly on & nbsp; Ethiopian Airlines flights, on which we & nbsp; they & nbsp; bought them. We hope to fly away.
When we contacted the consulate, we received little information, as this Monday the negotiations had just started. But & nbsp; found other tourists who organized a Telegram chat. He has an Ethiopian consul who helps us the most. As far as I & nbsp; understand, Russia just helped organize a charter flight, not the & nbsp; repatriation, but & nbsp; although & nbsp; would be in & nbsp; the dates to come.
In the & nbsp; nbsp; case of cancellation of the flight plan & bdquo; B & ldquo; no: you will have to stay here until air traffic is restored, & nbsp; the university and & nbsp; to resign.
Anastasia, a tourist from & nbsp; Russia :
“ I had a round trip ticket for a Turkish Airlines flight on November 29th. Although I am not & nbsp; travel through a travel agency, but & nbsp; we & nbsp; went to & nbsp; group. One of us on Saturday November 27 received a text message saying the flight was canceled. Later, via the Internet, I went to the & nbsp; mail and & nbsp; learned that my flight was also quite simply canceled. We & nbsp; called & nbsp; Turkish Airlines, and & nbsp; they only offered two options: refund or change the ticket for the & nbsp; 10 & nbsp; December.
The main problem with & nbsp; is that there was nothing the & nbsp; weekend. The & nbsp; Sunday 28 & nbsp; November, I was redirected from the Embassy to the Consulate in & nbsp; Cape Town. There, the young man said that they also did not have any specific information, and & nbsp; Didn't even say anything about the timing. He promised to call back today, but that didn't happen. And & nbsp; in the evening I & nbsp; could & nbsp; to be able to go through there and & nbsp; typed, it seems, at the consulate of & nbsp; Pretoria. They replied that they had an influx of calls so they didn't take Cape Town, but were told they needed to be added to the Telegram chat they were on. they had done. To & nbsp; at that time there were two messages: wait for information and & nbsp; consider the option of Lufthansa, although according to & nbsp; the information of & nbsp; forums, it did not take Russian citizens.
My return ticket costs 25 & nbsp; thousand rubles, and & nbsp; now some sensible options on the & nbsp; are only for & nbsp; 49-50 thousand rubles and & nbsp; with & nbsp; four transfers. At the same time, it is not known whether you will be allowed to & nbsp; embark.
Even at the consulate I was told that air traffic with South Africa is not closed, there are companies that fly there so there will be no free export theft: & bdquo; You & nbsp; you yourself took the plane to & nbsp; this country, so you have to buy tickets yourself & ldquo ;. They recommended taking Ethiopian flights and following the news. Now the date of my departure is scheduled for & nbsp; 3 & nbsp; December. And & nbsp; due to the fact that nobody & nbsp; didn't give out any info, most of my friends also bought tickets themselves. In fact, I & nbsp; payroll and & nbsp; live here for another 4 & nbsp; nights, well, & nbsp; and & nbsp; bought a ticket at & nbsp; 2 & nbsp; times more expensive than & nbsp; i had.
In & nbsp; the city has mask mode; but & nbsp; and & nbsp; grocery stores are open. I & nbsp; walk a bit, but & nbsp; is not going anywhere.
Yulia Lebedeva, a tourist from & nbsp; Russia :
“ We flew to South Africa as part of the group tour (Russia and Ukraine team group). They had to go back to & nbsp; Moscow by Qatari Airlines on November 28 & nbsp; and & nbsp; the other part of the group & mdash; Turkish Airlines. Since & nbsp; the morning of & nbsp; the day before & nbsp; received a message from & nbsp; guide concerning the & nbsp; cancellation of our flights.
The guide sent us links to Telegram channels from the Russian Embassy in South Africa. The & nbsp; first & nbsp; day they began to quickly think about how to fly out of the country. Since Ethiopia and Kenya did not close the borders with South Africa, it was through them that Ethiopia decided. We bought tickets with Ethiopian Airlines for & nbsp; 1 & nbsp; December 1 & nbsp; with & nbsp; 2 & nbsp; transfers via Addis Ababa and & nbsp; Frankfurt for & nbsp; 15 & nbsp; thousand rand (about 70 thousand rubles). Now, as far as I know, the whole flight is already full. Our friends from & nbsp; group bought this & nbsp; same flight, only the & nbsp; 30 & nbsp; November, and & nbsp; already in the & nbsp; plane, everything seems to be fine.
Qatar Airways has requested a refund. They must reimburse the cost of the incomplete flight. We are now staying in a & nbsp; hotel in & nbsp; Cape Town. The & nbsp; first day, we & nbsp; phoned the representative of the consulate, he & nbsp; could & nbsp; help & nbsp; & bdquo; Look for flights you can fly & ldquo ;. As a result, we found everything ourselves before our authorities even started organizing an export theft on December 3
On Sunday, the President of South Africa took over speech and & nbsp; said everything was calm as long as the first level of containment was maintained (maximum & nbsp; & mdash; fifth). In the & nbsp; parts, you must be masked, but & nbsp; everything works somewhere until & nbsp; 12 & nbsp; night. For & nbsp; personal feelings, there are many Russian speakers here, we meet them & nbsp; everywhere & raquo;.
