I don't encounter this now, as new ways of protecting correspondence have appeared, but I found some material on this topic on the Internet. - Sealing wax: the history of the material for impressions. We recently had a publication "Secrets of seals: history, symbolism and use in the modern world". Let's now try to find out what the sealing wax is, which is used to put a seal. The history of sealing wax is quite fascinating; as a result of the development of trade relations between India and Europe, the material has become even more widespread.

The need for this in the Ministry of Finance is explained by an additional sanitary rule prohibiting the placement of base stations on the territory of all educational organizations due to the risks of negative impact of electromagnetic radiation on the health of students, Kommersant writes. According to MTS, we are talking about dismantling about 4 thousand base stations. Such a significant reduction in their number can lead to network degradation in certain areas, especially in densely populated areas. Moreover, the lack of stable Internet and communications hinders the implementation of state policy on the development of educational campuses, the company adds.

It opened in 1968 in house No. 88 on Lenin Street. There was always a line for black-and-white TVs - people stood for several months. Having a TV at home had already become a necessity. According to A.A. Mokin and E.F. Bulatov "Cherepovets: Rings of History". In the photo: The end of the 1960s. In the "Blue Screen" store, near the "Zhiguli 59" TV and radio.

Although in September it guaranteed uninterrupted radio broadcasting. The explanation is the lack of technical capability. The explanation is quite dubious, since the radio works properly. This is a shock for many older subscribers and a violation of the Order of the Ministry of Digital Development of the Russian Federation dated November 29, 2023 No. 1023 on the development of wired radio broadcasting, - a reader of 72.RU complains to the editorial board.

This is the future that satellite Internet systems such as Elon Musk's Starlink or our "Sphere" promise us. But for these dreams to become reality, new technologies are needed, and Russian scientists seem to be close to creating them.

If you choose one of these options, you can say goodbye to your personal data. In 2024, it seems that everyone knows how important it is to use a strong password. However, this does not stop many people from relying on the most primitive combinations imaginable. Analysts from NordPass have published an annual list of the most popular passwords that are easy to hack. Some of them are predictable, others are puzzling. NordPass security specialists have been compiling these lists for six years, collecting them based on sets of passwords stolen by malware and discovered as a result of information leaks. The 2024 edition includes not only personal credentials, as was the case in previous versions, but also corporate passwords.

Like, for whom was this "poor" brand produced, the quality there is far from Hi-Fi. Well, and then they immediately add "in the USSR, engineers did not know how to make high-quality equipment." To reduce such erroneous conclusions, let's put all the arguments on the shelves, and as an example, let's take the popular brand of Soviet equipment "Serenada".

For me, however, it is the year of my birth and quite naturally has special importance. The social, political, sporting and entertainment milestones in that year not only had specific ramifications at the time, each later affected my life in one way or another. Shortwave radio listening and collecting QSL card were a hobby for many more than today. And, surprisingly they happened more or less in the nine months before I slid down the Milky Way and into the blue. Happy birthday to those celebrating their 70th year and still enjoying the radio. https://shortwavedxer.blogspot.com/2024/11/qsl-cards-issued-in-mid1950s.html (TB) ============ WORLD NEWS ============ * Iran. --------- As is known, the "Voice of the Islamic Republic of Iran" - VOIRI stopped broadcasting TV Pars Today in Russian on February 20 (it was since January 21, 2020), then after 78 years of broadcasting, stopped broadcasting on March 31. However, after a pause, broadcasting resumed in a different format and under a different name. A new structure was created - the media company "Iran Radio", affiliated with the State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company of Iran. A separate web channel is allocated for each broadcast language on a separate page of the media company's website. You can automatically get to the Russian page of the new site https://iranradio.ir/ru/ from the previous site https://parstoday.ir/ru, by selecting the "Radio" option there. The 24-hour Russian-language web channel announces itself as "Radio Iran" or "Iranian Radio", it can be listened to on the built-in player of the specified site and on external players. Stream https://live.iranradio.ir:8010/live-ru.mp3 On the external player, the channel name is written in Arabic script in Farsiروسی - ایران رادیو (Russian Radio of Iran). The player also writes the names of the broadcast thematic programs in Farsi in Latin letters and the archive numbers assigned to each program. These programs are defined by the player as podcasts. For news releases, the date/number of the current day according to the Persian calendar and the serial number of the release (No. 1, 2 or 3) are written. The new channel has been broadcasting since June without any time limitation of content, i.e. in a sliding schedule mode. The channel content consists of one block, repeated many times during the day. The block can have a daily different duration within 1.5-2 hours, contains 8 or 9 thematic programs and three 5-6-minute news releases of the current day, aired between the thematic programs in each repeated block. News releases actually contain not only news, but also short comments on them. The start of the daily broadcast cycle on the web channel (content update) varies daily mainly between 12.30 and 14.30 Moscow time and is preceded by a looped announcement in English about the software used for broadcasting with a link to the Azura Cast.com website. Then, several programs (usually five) from the updated block are aired in random order, after which all the programs of this block are aired in a certain sequence, which is repeated in this form during the day. Sometimes the channel content is not updated and one block is broadcast for two days. On some days, revered according to the Islamic calendar, the blocks consist only of Islamic-themed programs and news, while the sound design and the daily broadcast cycle scheme are changed. The channel broadcasts VOIRI archive programs: Iran - a magical country; Rare species of animals in Iran; Rare plants of Iran; History of clothing in Iran; Modern Iranian cinema; Poetry of the revolution; Ethnocultural picture of Iran; Medicine and health care in Iran; What Persian fairy tales talk about; Heavenly Suras; Farsi lessons for you, etc. The new site posts new audio podcasts distributed by topic, some of them are included in the broadcast grid of the web channel, documentaries and various video stories are also posted there.
