Rusijos prezidentas Vladimiras Putinas trečiadienį surengė derybas su Armėnijos premjeru Nikolu Pašinianu, paskelbė Kremlius. Derybos surengtos Jerevanui jau daug mėnesių stengiantis nusigręžti nuo Rusijos. Armėnija, tradicinė Rusijos sąjungininkė, piktinasi tuo, kad rusų taikdariai neįsikišo, kai Azerbaidžano pajėgos pernai surengė puolimą ir susigrąžino Kalnų Karabacho kontrolę. „Kalbant apie mūsų dvišalius santykius, tai jie plėtojami gan sėkmingai“, – N. Pašinianui pasakė V. Putinas.

Kremliaus šeimininkas Vladimiras Putinas ketvirtadienį pareiškė, kad Rusija nesitaikstys su jokiomis grėsmėmis, o jos strateginės branduolinės pajėgos esą visada parengtos. „Rusija padarys viską, kad užkirstų kelią pasauliniam susidūrimui, bet kartu neleisime, kad kas nors mums grasintų. Mūsų strateginės pajėgos visada parengtos“, – sakė V. Putinas.

Vladimiras Putinas gegužės 9-osios parado metu tęsė Kremliaus propagandos, kurios esmė yra prilyginti dabartinius įvykius, kaip prieš beveik 80 metų pasibaigusio Antrojo pasaulinio karo tęstinumą, skleidimą. Rusijoje valdžią jau 24 metus uzurpavęs buvęs KGB karininkas, prisimindamas „anuos laikus“, akcentavo „dabartinę kovą su neonacizmu“. Parade Maskvos Raudonojoje aikštėje dalyvavo ir apie 1 tūkst. dabartinio karo Ukrainoje dalyvių, tokiu būdu parodant tariamą kovos tęstinumą.

Основатель «Хора Турецкого» Михаил Турецкий заявил, что его отец Борис спас матери жизнь, забрав из Беларуси в Москву в 1940 году. Всех родственников женщины закопали живьем в 1941-м.

Israel bombarded Rafah on Wednesday as the military said ground troops conducted «targeted raids» in the southern Gaza city's east, with negotiations to halt the seven-month war underway in Cairo. Israel has defied international objections and sent tanks into Rafah, which is crowded with Palestinian civilians sheltering near the Egyptian border, seizing early Tuesday a crossing that is the main conduit for aid into the besieged territory. The White House condemned the interruption to humanitarian deliveries, with US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin later confirming reports that Washington had paused a shipment of bombs last week after Israel failed to address concerns over its long-threatened Rafah operation. The Israeli military said Wednesday it was reopening another major aid crossing into Gaza, Kerem Shalom, as well as the Erez crossing. But the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA, said the Kerem Shalom crossing -- which Israel shut after a rocket attack killed four soldiers on Sunday -- remained closed. Late Wednesday, the army said a soldier was lightly wounded when Kerem Shalom was again targeted by rockets. It came after a night of heavy Israeli strikes and shelling across Gaza. AFPTV footage showed Palestinians scrambling in the dark to pull survivors, bloodied and caked in dust, out from under the rubble of a Rafah building. «We are living in Rafah in extreme fear and endless anxiety,» said Muhanad Ahmad Qishta, 29. «Places the Israeli army claims to be safe are also being bombed,» he told AFP. Displaced Gazan Marwan al-Masri, 35, said «the streets are empty» in Rafah's western areas, and «life has completely ceased». In devastated northern Gaza, Al-Ahli hospital said it received the bodies of seven family members killed in a strike on an apartment in Gaza City. The Israeli military said in a statement that its «troops are conducting targeted raids on the Gazan side of Rafah crossing in the eastern part of Rafah». A later statement said that Hamas naval commander Mohammed Ahmed Ali was killed in an air strike «in the past day». Hamas did not immediately comment. - 'Catastrophic' - An emergency doctor working in Rafah and nearby Khan Yunis said that with humanitarian access compromised, the health situation was «catastrophic». «The smell of sewage is rife everywhere,» said the doctor, James Smith. «It's been getting worse over the course of the last couple of days.» World Health Organization chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said Wednesday that hospitals in southern Gaza had only «three days of fuel left» because of the border closures. «Without fuel all humanitarian operations will stop.» Meanwhile the Hamas-run government media office said health workers had uncovered at least 49 bodies from Gaza City's Al-Shifa hospital, the territory's largest which was devastated by two weeks of fighting in March. The bodies were in «a third mass grave», where some 30 corpses were found last month, said Motassem Salah, head of the hospital's emergency department. There was no immediate comment from Israel, which accuses Hamas militants of operating out of hospitals -- a charge denied by the Palestinian group. The war was sparked by Hamas's unprecedented October 7 attack on Israel, which resulted in the deaths of more than 1,170 people, mostly civilians, according to an AFP tally of Israeli official figures. Israel in response vowed to crush Hamas and launched a military offensive that has killed at least 34,844 people in Gaza, mostly women and children, according to the Hamas-run territory's health ministry. Militants also took about 250 hostages. Israel estimates 128 of them remain in Gaza including 36 who officials say are dead. Talks involving Qatari, US and Hamas delegations aimed at agreeing a ceasefire were ongoing Wednesday in Cairo, said Al-Qahera News, which is linked to Egyptian intelligence. It note that there were «points of contention» during the discussions, but also reported some «convergence» without elaborating. A senior Hamas official said the latest round of negotiations would be «decisive». Hamas «insists on the rightful demands of its people» said the official on condition of anonymity because he was not authorised to speak publicly on the negotiations. In Jerusalem, CIA director Bill Burns met Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to discuss the «possibility of Israel pausing the operation in Rafah in exchange for hostage releases», an Israeli official said also on condition of anonymity. The Hamas official had previously warned the talks would be Israel's «last chance» to free the hostages still in militants' hands. - Incursion condemned - Qatar, which hosts Hamas leaders and has been mediating between the two sides, appealed «for urgent international action to prevent Rafah from being invaded and a crime of genocide being committed». Palestinian analyst Mkhaimar Abusada said Israel's seizure of the Rafah crossing could be an attempt to create new facts on the ground, or a bid to «sabotage the truce talks». Israel's seizure of the Palestinian side of the Rafah crossing came after Hamas said it had accepted a truce proposal -- one Israel said was «far» from what its own negotiators had previously agreed to. Netanyahu has described the Rafah operation as «a very important step» in denying Hamas «a passage that was essential for establishing its reign of terror». Washington's decision to hold back last week a shipment of more than 3,500 heavy-duty bombs, according to a senior US official, was the first time the Biden administration acted on a warning to Israel that US policy on Gaza would depend on how Israel treats civilians. «We paused one shipment of high-payload munitions» for Israel but have not «made a final determination on how to proceed with that shipment,» Austin told US lawmakers on Wednesday. © Agence France-Presse

Russian President Vladimir Putin will address the annual Victory Day parade in Moscow on Thursday, an event he hopes will rally patriotism as his forces advance in Ukraine. The May 9 parade marks the Soviet Union's defeat of Nazi Germany in World War II and has become one of Russia's most important public holidays under Putin. The Russian president has repeatedly framed the current fight against Ukraine as an existential battle against «Nazism». The Kremlin leader typically uses his May 9 speech to shower his troops and army veterans with praise, as well as show off Russia's military hardware to audiences he hopes will be watching from around the world. The parade takes place on Red Square, featuring columns of Russian military equipment, including advanced missiles and air defence systems, as well as thousands of military personnel dressed in ceremonial attire. Russia often invites representatives from countries it deems «friendly» to the event, though attendance had dwindled even before it sent troops into Ukraine amid a stand-off with the West. Eight world leaders will attend Thursday's parade, Russian state-media reported this week, citing a Kremlin aide. They are the heads of five ex-Soviet countries -- Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan -- as well as the leaders of Cuba, Laos and Guinea-Bissau. In a high-profile snub, Armenia's Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has signalled he will not attend amid a spat between the two allies, even though he was in Moscow on Wednesday evening for a regional summit. The Kremlin scheduled a summit of leaders of the Eurasian Economic Union -- a regional bloc of some ex-Soviet states -- the day before the parade. Putin will deliver this year's address buoyed by his troops' advances in Ukraine and a fresh six-year mandate in office after winning elections in March devoid of opposition. Russia's army held off a much-hyped Ukrainian counter-offensive last year, and it has since made gains on the front lines as Kyiv struggles with ammunition and manpower shortages. - 'Victory' - Authorities in the capital have heightened security ahead of this year's parade, which comes amid a spate of Ukrainian drone attacks on Russian territory. The parade, which starts at 10:00am (0700 GMT) in Moscow, is one of the largest events of the year in the Russian capital. Night-time rehearsals take place weeks in advance, swathes of central Moscow are closed off for the military traffic, and huge scaffolding and banners are erected along the walls of the Kremlin on Red Square Other parts of Russia, including the western Kursk and Pskov regions, have cancelled their parades due to security concerns. The festivities come two days after Putin vowed at a lavish inauguration on Tuesday to deliver «victory» to Russians, embarking on a record-breaking fifth term with more power than ever. Putin's 87-percent landslide victory in the presidential election was panned by most international observers and dismissed as rigged by opposition and rights groups. Putin has also upped his nuclear rhetoric, earlier this week ordering the Russian military to hold nuclear weapons drills involving the navy and troops based near Ukraine. Last year Russia ditched its ratification of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty and pulled out of a key arms reduction agreement with the United States. © Agence France-Presse

The top priority for the Seychelles Disaster Risk Management Division (DRMD)  is to establish a disaster information management system, a tool designed to support agencies and organisations in preparing for and responding to disasters, said a top official on Wednesday. Robert Ernesta, the director general of DRMD spoke to reporters at the second regional workshop of a Regional Cooperation Mechanism on Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) for the Indian Ocean region that took place in Seychelles from May 7 to May 8. «Our priority area in Seychelles at the moment is having a detection mechanism that not only alerts people of possible disasters and floods but also the extent of the damage such a disaster is expected to cause when it is happening,» said Ernesta. The workshop was organised by the Indian Ocean Commission (IOC), in collaboration with its partners, United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction, the European Union and the Indian Ocean Regional Response Platform (PIROI). The meeting was to discuss ways to mitigate and manage disasters in the IOC countries. Building resilience and reducing disaster risk is one of the main thrusts of the IOC's new Strategic Development Plan 2023-2033, given the region's growing vulnerability to climate change. The participating countries were Mauritius, Comoros, Madagascar, Mauritius and Seychelles. During the second meeting, following one held in Mauritius last year, it was determined that there was a need to create a mechanism and a community under the aegis of the IOC that would enable ongoing exchanges between member states on DRR. The participants including Seychelles had the chance to present their top priorities in the field as well as discuss the manner through which they may assist one another. Ernesta said, «All the work we do where risk and disaster management is concerned in Seychelles is done with the assistance of our partner countries.»   He added, «Here in Seychelles the main disaster we deal with is flooding, as has been the case recently.» At the end of the meeting, the IOC countries are expected to be well on the path of establishing regional and sub-regional cooperation initiatives in DRR to better identify possible synergies with the IOC DRR platform initiative as well as determine concrete work plans for 2024. The delegates also had the chance to conduct a site visit.

Из-за того, что сегодня Вашингтон полностью оторван от реальности и по-прежнему слепо верит в «исключительность» США, ему трудно признать, что этой самой «исключительности» уже давно не существует. Более того, именно отрицание нового мирового порядка не даёт Вашингтону принять факт сотрудничества России и Китая, объясняет журналист и геополитический аналитик Пепе Эскобар в интервью Dialogue works.

ВведениеСферическая панорама должна иметь охват 360° или полный круговой обзор по горизонтали и 180° по вертикали или обзор от нижней точки (так называемый надир) до верхней точки (зенит). Если охват будет меньше - такая панорама уже не будет сферической.Для того, чтобы снять сферическую панораму, в теории сгодится даже самый простой компактный фотоаппарат или современный смартфон, но желательно иметь хороший фотоаппарат с режимом ручных настроек выдержки, диафрагмы и чувствительности, штатив и специальную панорамную головку, которая позволяет вращать и наклонять фотоаппарат вокруг нодальной точки (точка пересечения лучей в объективе).Эта точка находится приблизительно в центральной части объектива (если точнее, то там, где находится диафрагма), но ее расположение у каждого объектива индивидуально.У объективов с выдвигающимся далеко вперед линзоблоком (в народе такой конструктив имеет название «хобот») при изменении фокусного расстояния и у объективов с выраженным эффектом «focus breathing» (это явление, когда при наведении объектива на разные дистанции меняется угол его обзора), положение нодальной точки меняется для разных положений линзоблока.

Шардирование базы данных — это процесс её разделения на несколько машин, что способствует масштабируемости приложения. Механизм шардирования предполагает разбиение данных на два или более мелких фрагмента, называемых логическими шардами. Затем логические блоки распределяются по отдельным узлам базы данных, называемым физическими блоками, каждый из которых может содержать несколько логических блоков. Такой подход позволяет избежать проблем с производительностью, возникающих, когда одна из машин работает в условиях перегрузки, и обеспечивает более экономичное и грамотное масштабирование. По мере увеличения объема данных и трафика все чаще возникает необходимость горизонтального масштабирования путем добавления новых машин, а не вертикального путем модернизации одного большого сервера.
