Part 2 From the section: Humanitarian technologies Published: Magazine "Broadcasting. Television and Radio Broadcasting" #3, 2008, pp. 66-69 Alexander Sharikov Professor of the Higher School of Economics In this part you will learn about the formation of a stable system of state radio broadcasting in the USSR. In 1924-1927, the main genres of political radio journalism were formed. Thus, in 1924, a new type of socio-political radio programs appeared, called "radio newspaper". The first such program "Radio newspaper ROSTA" went on air on November 23, 1924. Its editorial board was created as part of the Russian Telegraph Agency ROSTA. The broadcasts were organized in such a way as to anticipate the publication of regular, paper newspapers as much as possible. Another innovation was that the texts heard on the radio were now prepared taking into account the perception by ear, and did not reproduce verbatim the materials published in the newspapers. Soon after the first radio newspapers, the first radio magazines, the first reports and other types of programs appeared.

Head of Radio Sputnik Margarita Nekrasova spoke about plans to launch broadcasting in Mariupol, Melitopol, Berdyansk and Novaya Kakhovka. "Our broadcasting in these cities may start this year. I consider it especially significant that the issues of the situation in Ukraine, the restoration of infrastructure and the development of Russian territories are presented on the air from the point of view of the questions and aspirations of residents of the new regions. This is extremely important for trust and contact with the audience, which needs sources of verified information," Nekrasova noted during the press conference "Novorossiya - Russia! The role of the media in the integration of new regions", which is being held at the international multimedia press center "Russia Today" in Moscow. The press conference included a presentation of the radio broadcasting project "Novorossiya Segodnya" about the life of the regions reunited with Russia, which was launched on June 2 by radio Sputnik and Ukraina.ru, which are part of the media group "Russia Today".

The duration of one broadcast is 30 minutes. Start at 00.00 Moscow time, end at 22.00 (MSK). The interval between sessions was 2 hours. At a private request, there were no global announcements of today's test broadcasts, so as not to cause unnecessary excitement. After all, first of all, these are tests for a specific Far Eastern direction. A sincere request to those who like to collect confirmations for reception. Please do not flood the PRTC mail with endless reports. It is clear that many want to receive something as a souvenir, but these are just tests. First of all, the Far Eastern zone is of greatest interest. Other directions (especially Europe) are quite predictable. Several fragments of reception in the Leningrad region.

(https://vk.com/radioreceiver) * What is digital radio and how is it different from FM. ------------------------------------------------- According to audio services, the request "turn on the radio" is the second most frequently requested after "turn on the music". Digital radio is a modern technology that has become an alternative to traditional FM radio. Let's consider how it appeared, its main standards and prospects. In FM radio, the carrier wave frequency fluctuates depending on the change in the audio signal. This method is susceptible to interference and signal degradation, especially at a large distance from the transmitter or in the presence of physical obstacles. Digital radio also uses radio frequencies, but the signal is encoded and split into several parts. It is then decoded by the receiver. This allows the signal to be transmitted with less loss and resistance to interference.

Social and psychological consequences. I still can't forget about wired radio. I look at the torn wires in the entrance and tears come to my eyes. Let's discuss what we lost when we lost our radio outlet. Okay, I'll start my monologue, which I literally wrote in an hour... Wired radio, popularly known as "radio outlet", has occupied a special place in the lives of Soviet and Russian citizens for decades. The first radio outlets appeared in city apartments back in the 1920s, eventually becoming not just a means of entertainment, but an important element of state infrastructure. This system demonstrated its particular importance during the Great Patriotic War, when city residents received vital information about air raid sirens and the situation at the fronts through radio points. There were also public radio points in many squares and public spaces.

I always thought it was my old device's problem, until I switched to Firefox and realized Chrome was to blame. Everything Chrome can do and more For as long as I can remember, Chrome has been my favorite browser. All my passwords, bookmarks, and extensions are always available as soon as I sign in to my Google account. I only use the browser on my computer, so I've never felt the need to update. At least until recently, when it started freezing after installing a few new extensions. I figured it was time to add some RAM to this computer or say goodbye to it forever. For now, I decided to switch to Firefox. I created a new account and synced it with my computer and phone. To my surprise, my old computer works fine with it, even with a lot of tabs open.

The name "Therapy" refers to both the internal state of a person and the hidden rhythms of the Earth itself," the authors of the project explain.

Now operators may be required to provide data on traffic routing and access to it. Previously, operators were not required to provide much data: on the availability of licenses and compliance with network connection rules. The new checklist includes questions related to the collection of information about user equipment (device identification, characteristics) and traffic routing through technical means of countering threats. Operators will have to confirm that all traffic passes through the TSPU, and that employees of the RKN Monitoring Center have access to the equipment, provide information on which specific devices are used to process traffic and how the connection to them is implemented at the network level. All requirements were previously enshrined in current legislation. The new checklist does not include any innovations, but it defines what exactly can be checked by Roskomnadzor. The document in Russian was published on the Federal Portal of draft regulatory legal acts (https://regulation.gov.ru/Regulation/Npa/PublicView?npaID=157477).

Today we will dive into the world of batteries. Saline, alkaline, lithium - what is the difference, which are better, where to put them and why are cheap "hodgepodge" batteries sometimes justified? A battery is an autonomous source of electrical energy. Chemical reactions occur inside it, resulting in the formation of an electric current. Different types of batteries use different chemical elements and processes, hence the difference in characteristics.

With the spread of powerful radio broadcasting across the planet, radio waves began to be used as a propaganda weapon, including by the opponents of the Soviet Union, which necessitated the development of means to combat unwanted radio signals. So after the establishment of Soviet power, already in the second half of the 1920s, the USSR began to fight enemy radio stations. In the 1920s, German transmitters were jammed in the USSR, and from the beginning of the 1930s, mutual radio warfare only gained momentum between an increasing number of countries.
