Graphologists distinguish a lot of patterns. Angular letters — intolerance, small — closeness, compressed — stinginess, leaning to the left — protest, to the right — sensitivity. The presence of circles — looping, loops — caution. Broken spelling —dreaminess, sweeping — vanity. “But it is necessary to judge a person by his handwriting,” says graphologist Irina Romanova. — It shows what we really are. And the signature — what we want to appear ».

100% coverage of the M-11 motorway «Neva» is provided with high-quality cellular communication. Stable mobile internet is available throughout 669 kilometers of highway, which is critical for the safety and comfort of motorists.Tele2 operator has launched 100 additional 5G Ready stations on the highway. This allows it to provide LTE services of the highest quality and be technologically ready for the launch of fifth-generation services on the highway, which will be the first unmanned logistics corridor.
The new equipment made it possible to close the areas of uncertain reception and provide communication throughout all 669 kilometers of the road that runs through the territories of the Moscow, Tver, Novgorod and Leningrad regions. The traffic intensity on the motorway is about 30,000 vehicles per day.
As a result of the project, the operator has also dramatically improved the quality of communication in the settlements lying near the highway, such as Sitno, Vysoky Ostrov, Korpovo, Stegnovo of the Novgorod region and Georgievskoye of the Leningrad Region.
The project was implemented at the facilities of the infrastructure operator “Service Telecom”. At the same time, the network is built on 5G Ready equipment. The technology will allow in the future to quickly deploy coverage in the fifth generation standard. The operator’s infrastructure will also become the basis for ensuring the safe operation of unmanned vehicles. By 2024, the Ministry of Transport of Russia plans to implement the first unmanned logistics corridor in Russia on the M-11 highway.
“Covering the M11 highway is a strategically important project for us: we are not only improving the quality of communication for our customers right now, but we are also creating the potential for high-tech services in the future. Now users do not have to wait for the exit to the access zone on the M-11 highway: drivers can use navigation services all the way, and passengers can take part in video conferences. Our mobile Internet catches even on sites far from populated areas, which is especially important for the safety and comfort of any trip,” says Alexey Telkov, Deputy General Director for Technical Infrastructure and Information Technologies Tele2.
“Ensuring uninterrupted mobile communication of the country’s highways is one of the most important tasks in the implementation of many national projects, by 2024 the task is to ensure 100% radio coverage of all federal highways. Thanks to our cooperation, now on the M-11 highway “Neva” connecting the two capitals, subscribers canLTE technology, which means the whole range of digital services that we use every day. For „Service-Telecom“ provision of communication infrastructure in the highway right-of-way is one of the key areas of activity», — notes Nikolay Berdin, General Director of GC «Service-Telecom».

The United States reported a failure in testing hypersonic weapons. It is not known what kind of rocket we are talking about. Probably, the launch was supposed to take place in the Pacific Ocean area. The agency reported that the problem is in the rocket accelerator. АиФ.ги I tried to figure out — is it true or just a clever tactic to mislead a potential opponent.
The day before it was reported that in the Pacific Ocean area from October 20 to October 29, the United States plans to launch an unknown missile system. As follows from the navigation warning for pilots and navigators, the launch should be made from the test site on Kodiak Island.
The missile range off the southern coast of Alaska in the area of the American Kwajalein Atoll (Marshall Islands) is actively used by the Pentagon to test military systems, including anti-missile systems. It is also designed to launch light launch vehicles with small spacecraft. Judging by the coordinates, the flight range should have been about 2 thousand kilometers.
However, something went wrong. The Pentagon intelligently called the situation “freelance”.
Officially, the United States Department of Defense has confirmed the disruption and postponement of hypersonic weapons tests due to a problem with the accelerator. Now the agency is conducting an inspection. The test was supposed to confirm the operability of individual elements of the hypersonic combat unit, which are still in development.
But it is not excluded that the Pentagon has adopted a new Chinese tactic, we don’t have any hypersound, it’s all fiction. Recently, the Chinese have been so stubbornly denying the hypersonic weapons tests conducted by themselves that the United States could unwittingly pick up the idea of keeping quiet about their achievements and flaunting failures.
For example, in July, the US Air Force admitted that the second test of an air-launched hypersonic missile (ARRW) failed after the engine failed, and the first one in April, then the problem was in the carrier rocket.
There are also reports in the media that the United States will certainly lose the hypersonic arms race to Russia and China. Such statements sound too often and loudly, which makes one doubt their veracity.
On the other hand, there are reports about the success of the USA in hypersonic. For example, the country’s Navy recently confirmed three missile launches to test advanced hypersonic weapons systems.
Perhaps the tactic is to keep other countries in doubt and in the dark at what stage the United States is testing hypersonic weapons, if at all… When the enemy’s forces are not clear, it is better to be wary of him.
The plot of the criminal case against the governor of the Khabarovsk Territory Sergey Furgal
The ex-governor of the Khabarovsk Territory, Sergei Furgal, accused of organizing the murders of entrepreneurs, declared his innocence to the crimes, about which a new criminal case was opened against him on the creation of a criminal group and fraud. This is reported by TASS with reference to the lawyer of the defendant Mikhail Karapetyan.
Furgal has not yet been charged with new charges.
“Sergey Ivanovich has repeatedly stated that he has nothing to do with either the new criminal case or the old one,” the lawyer said. “Acquaintance with the defendants in all these cases cannot speak of his guilt or involvement in the crimes incriminated to him, which we are going to prove in court.”
Also, the official representative of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation Svetlana Petrenko said that the agency has completed the investigation of the case against Furgal. It was sent to resolve the issue of further transfer to the court.
Furgal was detained last summer in Khabarovsk and transferred to Moscow, where the Basmanny Court arrested him. The politician is accused of involvement in the organization of murders and attempted murder of entrepreneurs committed by an organized criminal group in 2004-2005 in the Khabarovsk Territory and the Amur Region.
Earlier today it was reported that a new case was opened against Furgal related to the Amurstal plant.
In early October, it became known that the Moscow City Court left the ex-governor in jail until December 7.
A species of mosquitoes capable of carrying deadly diseases has appeared in northern Italy. This follows from a study by scientists of the Milan State University, published in the international scientific journal Parasites & Vectors.
What kind of mosquitoes are we talking about?
Scientists have discovered the so-called “Korean” mosquitoes, which belong to the species Aedes koreicus. These blood-sucking insects live in East Asia, but in recent years they have been increasingly found in many regions of Europe. For the first time in the EU, “Korean” mosquitoes were detected in Belgium in 2008. In the future, their presence was confirmed in Slovenia, Germany, Hungary and Austria.
In Italy, these mosquitoes were first detected in the northeast of the country in 2011, but now they are spreading to the southwest of the country.
What research did Italian scientists do?
The study took place in 2020. Within its framework, experts collected about 6 thousand mosquito larvae in the area of Bergamo (Lombardy region). In the future, the hatched individuals of insects were divided by species. The classification was confirmed by morphological and genetic analyses. They showed that about 50 individuals belonged to the Aedes koreicus species.
Thus, scientists have confirmed the presence of “Korean” mosquitoes in the Bergamo area and their distribution in the north of the country. The discovery has caused experts to worry about whether these insects can become carriers of diseases in the alpine zone of Italy.
The authors of the study insist on the urgent need for coordinated efforts to monitor blood-sucking mosquitoes in Italy to prevent the spread of carriers of new pathogens.
Scientists also noted that the detection of mosquitoes in the Bergamo area at the end of summer suggests that this type of mosquito has adapted to new climatic and environmental conditions. In their opinion, the expansion of the areola habitat of Aedes koreicus is associated with the influence of global warming, as well as an increase in international trade and travel in Europe.
What are the dangers of “Korean” mosquitoes?
According to scientists, “Korean” mosquitoes are able to carry several pathogens at once. Among them are the dengue and chikungunya viruses (cause fevers of the same name), as well as the Zika virus and Japanese encephalitis, viruses that cause yellow fever and West Nile fever.
Are there any Korean mosquitoes in Russia?
Yes. These mosquitoes live in the east of Russia, and in recent years they have also begun to be noticed in the Krasnodar Territory and the Crimea.
“Unfortunately, these species already exist in the Crimea,” experts also found them in the territories closest to us,” said in June 2021 on the radio Sputnik in the Crimea, Doctor of Biological Sciences, Professor of the Department of Ecology and Zoology of the KFU. Vernadsky Sergey Ivanov. However, he noted that such mosquitoes pose a danger only if they bite the vector of these diseases.
A population census has been conducted in Russia since October 15. Scribes record answers from the words of respondents, they do not collect personal data. Citizens do not need to provide any documents and confirm their answers, the portal of public services says.
Do they check the reliability of respondents’ answers?
The questionnaires are depersonalized and the information is encrypted before entering the Rosstat data processing centers. Therefore, those who will process the respondents’ answers will not be able to identify a specific person by the answers and verify the accuracy of the data.
According to the deputy head of Rosstat Pavel Smelov, the census organizers take people at their word. But cases of deception are revealed one way or another. For example, there are girls who underestimate their age. There are also jokers who ascribe fantasy nationalities to themselves and call themselves trolls, goblins, elves, etc. But there are few such citizens, during the last census they were counted about a thousand.
Head of Rosstat Pavel Malkov he stated that respondents can call themselves anything: orcs, hobbits, goblins or Pechenegs. But in the final report, after the census is completed, all these people are grouped into “Other answers to the question of nationality”.
The share of funny and paradoxical answers of citizens to the questions of the census forms fits into the statistical error and does not affect the overall results of the census, RBC quotes the statement of the press service of Rosstat.
What will happen if the deception is revealed?
Russian legislation does not provide for any liability for false information during the census.
Is it possible not to answer some of the census questions?
If a person does not want to give truthful answers to certain questions for some reason, he does not need to deceive the copyist. According to Pavel Smelov, everyone has the right to refuse to answer certain questions.
Participation in the census is voluntary. You can completely refuse to participate in it, and there will be nothing for it.In this case, only two columns will be filled in the questionnaire: information about the person’s gender and age. Rosstat takes these data from administrative sources, Smelov said. During the 2010 census, the number of people who refused to answer questions and those who were not found at home by the census takers was about 5% on average in the country.
