New Year 2015 is coming soon. We have many problems in life. Everyone has different ones and we have to give up something. But New Year is a special holiday and many remember it from the best side, since many things change in their lives on this day. In 2025, Russians will have an 11-day New Year's holiday - from December 29, 2024 to January 8, 2025. The first working day of the new year is Thursday, January 9 - November 18 is the birthday of Grandfather Frost. The date for honoring the main winter wizard was not chosen by chance. It is believed that on this day, in his patrimony - in Veliky Ustyug - the first frosts begin to crack. How old Grandfather turns is not exactly known, but certainly more than two thousand. Our ancestors have revered frost as an element since time immemorial. He seemed to them to be a short, cheerful old man with a gray beard. In winter, they called him, and in summer they asked him not to come, so as not to spoil the harvest. Over the course of his history, the wizard changed several names: the East Slavic spirit of cold Treskun, Saint Nicholas, Morozko, Moroz Ivanovich and, finally, at the beginning of the 20th century, the Grandfather Frost already familiar to us.

At the same time, he told RIA Novosti that it will not be possible to predict the exact dates of record flares and magnetic storms. "According to model calculations, 2025 is the most likely year of maximum solar activity. There are different scenarios, but most of them point to spring-summer of next year as the time of the expected peak," the expert noted. Bogachev added that the "schedule" of flares and storms is impossible to predict. This is due to the fact that active centers on the Sun usually live no more than 2-4 weeks. Thus, those groups of spots that will determine the activity of the next year have not even been born yet, the specialist explained.

The television center is located on Nikolskaya Sopka. The openwork tower of the television tower has long remained one of the symbols of the city. Test broadcasts took place in September, and regular broadcasting began on October 17, 1961.

Among them were some rather unique devices that were ahead of their time. Nowadays, the price of such models has almost skyrocketed. I came across one of these devices the other day. In the early 70s, the fashion for high-end equipment came. As a rule, music lovers assembled their own music systems. A tape recorder, a record player, an amplifier, speakers. A high-quality VHF radio receiver-tuner involuntarily suggests itself to such a magnificent set.

The receiver was produced on the basis of the model ''Russia-303''. The first receivers did not differ from the basic one, then their design was changed and a more modern element base was used. The receiver is designed for reception in the LW, MW and two HF sub-ranges.

Christians of German origin who had left the Soviet Union and moved to Germany united there into a brotherhood and on January 1, 1978 founded the organization Missionswerk "Friedensstimme", in Russian it was called the Missionary Society "Voice of Peace". One of the tasks of the mission was and still is the preparation of Christian radio broadcasts in Russian. These broadcasts were broadcast from about the end of the 70s on the waves of Trans-World Radio (Monte Carlo) and IBRA-Radio (Stockholm) on behalf of the missionary society "Voice of Peace". In addition to the programs of the same name as the mission "Voice of Peace", there were programs "Through the Pages of the Bible". The broadcasts were hosted by Andrei Andreevich Martens, as he called himself on air, and the address was announced: Iwan Peters, Postfach 180201, Bielefeld, D- 4800, FRG. Later, probably in the early 90s, the mission was moved from Bielefeld to the suburb of Marienheide, in the countryside (both places in the federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia), while the nearest post box in neighboring Gummersbach began to be used for contacts. Since October 26, 2003, the mission began broadcasting in Russian on HF from the transmission centers of Deutsche Telekom (later Media Broadcast) Wertachtal and Nauen. This was reported in the news of the Russian SWL/DX site in 2004 http://radio.hobby.ru/news2.html From the text, it can be understood that the author of the message was aware of the previous broadcasting of the Friedensstimme mission not as a "separate program", but as part of radio broadcasts on other Christian stations. The mission returned to this format of broadcasting in 2020 and is still broadcast on the Estonian Radio Eli according to the broadcast schedule of this station https://mediaeli.ee/programm/ Since the early 90s, the broadcaster stopped using its Russian-language name "Voice of Peace", and the websites that appeared later - the mission itself www.friedensstimme.de and its publishing house www.friedensstimme.com use only German and there is no information about the mission's radio broadcasting in Russian at present and in the past.

The public (non-governmental) television and radio company SRG justifies this step by the fact that fewer and fewer FM receivers are used in Switzerland, and the maintenance of FM antennas is too expensive. The SRG holding will continue to broadcast its radio programs via DAB+ technology and via the Internet.
