Vadim Belzatsky - Spetspreemniki
Well, Moscow, rentals antiassadovskuyu resolution in the UN Security Council has once again proved and showed who her friend and foe.
Assad is killing thousands of their fellow citizens - Moscow called these dead terrorists (420 children, too, the terrorists, according to the logic of Moscow). Assad ordered the beating of the direct-fire heavy artillery at their own residential areas of cities - Moscow calls it fighting with the guerrillas. Assad holds the bloody stripper - Moscow, without thinking twice, and their names, though the word ... And all this dumb and stupid, and against their own national interests, as the regime of Bashar al- Assad still skiff, and hatred of the Syrian people will receive a full, Moscow, and after the fall of the people to hatred and hostility added to the new government.
What are they doing? . Principle One: beat her, so that other people were afraid. The second principle: the end justifies the means. The entire foreign policy on these whales and elephants, and kept swimming.
Oh yeah, one more nuances - the fear! . Yes, this fear that otshibaet brains and makes them, in addition to everything else, and idiots. But aggressive, fearful idiots are extremely dangerous. They were hospitalized in the workplaces of chopping and spetspreparatami.
And this is the most Bashar Assad - successor of the dad got the power: from the bloody hands - hands in the blood. Dad all bathed in blood, no one thought that his son -ophthalmologist pereplyunet on this part. Assad Sr. in his hell shall be satisfied. And the word ...
So how can a successor to take another when he is drowning in shit? . As they say, birds of a feather.
ru.
So the hope of some naive people that when it comes to Belarus in the blood, stop bleeding, and Moscow odernet local successor, nothing but smiles, not vyzyvaet. Maybe so my smile lately some curve. There is no y in Moscow red ( bloody ) features, after which it stops and begins to act in accordance with the ethics of human. Yes it damn bald, no red line is not.

Some notion of his, about aliens and the successors of. A local ' preemnichek ' - its in the board, such as filth and dirt, as well as all the clients in Moscow and the Moscow bosses.

10 tips for a novice Google user to the Internet
Alex Shelestenko, marketing, Google Russia.
Do you remember how you started to use the Internet? .
I remember it was me. Then, in the summer of '96, I knew that soon I will have internet access. I decided that I should prepare in advance so that as soon as they feel like a fish in water, and bought a book ... Internet for Newbies. ... this yellowish. I was inundated with the mass of unintelligible words - browsers, email clients, protocols, Eudora, FidoNet, Elm / Pine, http, ftp, telnet. All of this captured the wild and agitated, but did not make any clear. When I sat down at my computer, I just went on the Internet, through trial and error and watching others do it. Internet is gradually becoming more and more friends and relatives.
It's hard to believe, but for millions of people around us, the Internet is still not a familiar friend. Someone just started using it, for someone online is reduced to receiving and sending business email, someone is not friendly with computer viruses is afraid or does not want to spoil anything in the computer 's son ( grandson ). And someone just no one to ask if something is not clear.
To help those who are still afraid of the Internet or bypasses his side ' of harm's way ', we have created a small guide for the beginner:. 10 tips for beginners Google Internet users. In 10 small videos we have tried to explain in simple terms the basics of the Internet, accompanying each illustration board and commentary. In a fun and relaxed manner, Nikolai Fomenko tells you (or your loved ones ), how to save the file to your disk, send a letter or come up with a good password.
From this project, we tried to take the place of novice and presented, what questions arise in his. But our family and friends served as an excellent source of inspiration: I'm sure many of you have heard phrases such as ' I saved the file from the Internet, and now I do not know where to find it '( hi, mom! ) ' What is my email address? . ';' I did not know what the link does not need to click twice '.
Feel free to send their inexperienced friends and relatives. www. google. ru / internetsovety. ( Online Tips) - hopefully, Google will help them to make friends with the Internet and ' tame ' it. Who knows - maybe soon you 'll have to communicate regularly with them in video chat (hi, mom! ), And the next question is from my grandmother ' What is your account on Twitter? '.

Introduction to the ranking of Google search results
Amit Singhal (Amit Singhal), team leader Google ranking.
About the Group search quality you learned from. post Udi Manber.
We usually call this group simply ' quality ' (Quality). It includes the basic functionality of the team ranking (Core Ranking), a team of international search (International Search), click UI (User Interfaces), a team of quality control (Evaluation), a team against Internet spam (Webspam) and other. In this post I want to tell you of the basic functionality of the team rankings.
First a few words about yourself. My name is Amit Singhal. I manage a group of ranking in Google's. In the area of search technology I'm working now for eighteen years. I first became acquainted with the search in 1990. When he wrote a diploma in computer science. In the search for an academic environment is called ... Having worked in the field of fundamental research IR- 10, in 2000 I took a job at Google. Since then I have been doing technology ranking of Google search results.
Ranking in Google - a set of algorithms that find exactly those documents that best meet the user's query. We process hundreds of millions of queries a day, referring to a database consisting of several billion pages. Our algorithms are used in almost every Google search service in relation to any queries entered by users. While searching the Internet - is the most widely used and best known search engine Google, the same ranking algorithms are used in various modifications, and other services - Pictures, News, YouTube, Maps, search products, search for books and other.
The most frequent question I get asked about the rankings, ... Of course, creating such an advanced and modern ranking system like ours, involves many different aspects of. For example, the technological issues of ranking, I would like to discuss the details in the next post. And today I want to tell you about the principles on which the rankings in Google. In short, these principles can be described in three phrases:.
1) The best quality of search results, taking into account local conditions anywhere in the world.
2) Everything must be clear and simple.
3) No manual changes.
The first principle is obvious. With our passion for the development of the search, we are doing everything possible to your request for each user gets exactly the results that he needs. We often say that no inquiry is left unattended. If the query result was imperfect (because the task of finding, strictly speaking, has not been solved until the end ), regardless of the language and country of origin of the request, each such case is a source of inspiration for further development of technologies.
The second principle is also quite obvious. Is not every system architect strives to be the system remained as simple as possible? . We try very hard to make our system remains simple without compromising the quality of search results. This task is extremely important, and not for a moment it must not be forgotten. Every week we produce about 10 changes in the ranking algorithms, and at the start of each change, we pay great attention to ease of. Our developers know exactly why a particular page is located on this site in search results. Having a simple system that is easy to understand, allows us to rapidly innovate. This means that the principle of simplicity, we done a very good service.
None of the discussions of mechanisms Google ranking goes by without a standard - but based on prejudice! . This question is answered our third core principle: any changes manually! . Internet access is created by people. You - the people who create pages and link them to other pages. And we use it all the wealth created by human hands in our algorithms. When we finally regulate the algorithms for query results, they use the results of the entire Internet community, and not the opinions of individual staff by Google. We believe that the subjective judgment of any man... are subjective, and the information that our algorithms have learned from the enormous diversity of human knowledge, a prisoner in your web pages and links, better than any human subjectivity.
There is another reason why we are fundamentally against the manual adjustment of the search results. If the query is wrong - this is another reason for us to improve the ranking algorithm. Refinement of the search algorithm is not only improves the results of a particular request, it leads to better quality at once for an entire class of queries, often in all languages. In all of this I must add that there is a clearly -written. policy. Determining what requirements must meet the recommended Google Sites. We are taking action against those sites that violate our policies, legal requirements, distribute child pornography, viruses, malware, etc. Dr..
I would be happy if you're familiar with my next post, which I 'll detail what technologies are used to rank. A number of examples you can see how the different methods of organizing the search results. To conclude this post I would like to add that our passion for the development of search methods is stronger than ever. And that means that I, as a researcher in the field of information retrieval, is the best job on earth:-).

There were two times when the moon ☾
Now the Earth has only one natural satellite of the Moon.
But more recently, about 6-7 thousand years ago, our planet could be seen two of the moon, talking about it, not only the myths and legends of many peoples, but also the geological findings.
Lumps of pure iron.
In the north. Argentina. Located Campo del Cielo (translated - ... This title is taken from an ancient Indian legend, which tells of the fall from the sky in this place of mysterious metal blocks.
Pieces of iron, according to the old Spanish chronicles, found here in the XVI century. The conquistadors used them for making swords and spears. Especially lucky to a certain de Miravalyu Ehrmann, who in 1576 in a rather dull place, among the swampy lowlands, stumbled upon a huge block of pure iron. The enterprising Spaniard dropped in several times to her and beat her to pieces for different needs. In 1783, the prefect of a province, Don Rubin de Celis, organized an expedition to the slab, and found it after a long search, has estimated its weight at about 15 tons. A detailed description of the object is not preserved, and since then it has not been seen, although attempts were made to find a block of more than once.
In 1803, in the vicinity of the Campo del Cielo meteorite found weighing about a ton. The largest fragment thereof (635 kg) in 1813 was taken to Buenos Aires. Later it was purchased by an Englishman, Sir Woodbine Derish and presented to the British Museum. This lump of cosmic iron still rests on a pedestal in front of the Museum. Part of the surface of a specially polished to show the structure of the metal with the so -called ...

In the Campo del Cielo, and its surroundings still find fragments of the iron keel weighing from a few grams to several tons. The largest weighed 33.4 tons. It was found in 1980 near the village of Gancedo American researcher Robert Haag Meteorites tried to buy it and take in the U.S., but it opposed the Argentine authorities. To date, this meteorite is the second largest among all detected on the Earth - after the so-called Hoba meteorite, weighing about 60 tons.
An unusually large number of meteorites found on a relatively small area suggests that once poured into this place ... Evidence that, besides the finds themselves objects of iron, is the large number of craters in the area of Campo del Celo. The largest of these is the multiplicity of Laguna Negra diameter of 115 meters and a depth of 5 meters.
A huge meteorite exploded in the atmosphere.
In 1961, the findings in the Campo del Cielo interested professor at Columbia University (USA), the world's leading expert on meteorites have. Cassidy. Organized their expedition found a large number of small metallic meteorites - geksaderitov, consisting of almost chemically pure iron (it is 96% of them, the rest - nickel, cobalt and phosphorus). Study of other meteorites found at different times in the area, has the same composition. According to scientists, this proves that they are fragments of a single celestial body. Cassidy also drew attention to the strange fact: usually in the explosion of a large meteorite in the atmosphere of its fragments fell to Earth, scattering ellipse with a maximum diameter of about 1600 meters. And at the Campo del Cielo is the length of the diameter of 17 kilometers!.
Published the preliminary findings of research Cassidy attracted interest around the world. To the scientist joined hundreds of volunteers and as a result of new fragments of meteoric iron were found even at a considerable distance from the Campo del Cielo, up to the Pacific coast.
Sputnik ...
But it turned out that the territory still finds extensive. An unexpected light on the history of the meteorite Campo del Cielo shed opening of Australia s. Here, in 1937, only 300 kilometers from the town of Hanbury. in the ancient crater of diameter 175 meters and a depth of about 8 meters found an iron meteorite weighing 82 pounds and several fragments of lower weight. In 1969 he conducted a study of their composition and found that these fragments are almost identical to the iron meteorites from Campo del Cielo.
Craters near Hanbury known since the 20s of last century. There are several dozen, the largest of which reaches 200 meters, but most are relatively small - from 9 to 18 meters. During the excavations carried out here since the 30s, was found in craters over 800 pieces of meteoric iron, of which - four of the one piece of the total mass of about 200 kilograms.
The final conclusion arrived at by Cassidy, was that a huge meteorite fell to Earth, but not sudden. Some time before his fall is a heavenly body revolved around the Earth in an elliptical orbit, gradually drawing closer to the planet.
In orbit could last a long time - a thousand years and more. However, under the force of gravity, this second moon in the end closer to the Earth so much that crossed the so-called Roche limit, and then entered the atmosphere and broke up into fragments of different sizes, which fell on the surface of the planet.
Echoes of ancient catastrophes.
Approximate date of the disaster was determined by radiocarbon analysis - came about 5800 years ago. Thus, the accident occurred is on record, in the IV millennium BC. e. When the ancient civilization began to emerge, who left behind written records. In them we find the mythological references to the second natural satellite of the planet and of the catastrophe caused by his fall.
For example, the Sumerian clay tablets describe the goddess Ina, crossed the sky and the glow emitted by a frightening. An echo of the same events is, apparently, the ancient Greek myth of Phaethon.
On the luminous celestial body mentioned Babylonian, Egyptian, Norse sources, the myths of the peoples of Oceania. English ethnologist J.. Fraser notes that of the 130 Indian tribes of Central and South America there is no one in the myths which have not reflected this theme.
... Papper - because metal meteorites are clearly visible in flight. Reflecting sunlight, they sparkle much brighter stony meteorites, but that the big car of pure iron, then its luminosity in the night sky was in its brightness greater than the luminosity of the Moon ...
Elliptical orbit at which the car was moving, implied in certain periods of the passage of the object close to the Earth. In this car came in contact with the upper layers of the atmosphere and glowed so much so that his brilliance was to be visible even in daylight. As the object came closer to our planet and its luminosity is increased, causing panic among the population. According to M. Pappera, orbit, which made it become hot car in contact with the earth's atmosphere, it moves away from it again to freeze in the icy cold of space, and led to the destruction it apart. Judging by the rather large territory in which the scattered fragments - from South America and Australia - car split in another orbit and the Earth's atmosphere came in the form of a string of separate fragments.
The car could cause the Flood.
The largest pieces, according to experts, fell into the Pacific Ocean, causing a wave of unprecedented proportions, which could circumvent the Earth. In the legends of the Amazon Indians tell us that the stars fell from the sky, there was a terrible roar and roar and everything was plunged into darkness, and then fell to the ground downpour that flooded the entire world. ... The darkness and the rain did not stop. People fled, not knowing where to hide, climbed the highest trees and mountains ... Brazilian legend echoes the fifth book of the Maya Code ... The world was collapsing '.
We are all of these tales are about the crash, accompanied by earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and floods. The epicenter of it clearly was in the Southern Hemisphere, because the farther to the north is changing the nature of myths. Legends tell us only about the severe flooding. This event, apparently, is preserved in the memory of the Sumerians and Babylonians, and found its most vivid expression in the famous biblical myth of the Deluge.

Paleontologists have discovered ancient giant flea
Chinese paleontologists discovered the imprint inhabited the Jurassic period, a giant flea, whose length was 21 mm.
The fossils, which were discovered the remains were discovered during excavations in the Inner Mongolia and neighboring Chinese province of Lyaopin, writes. Lenta. ru. In total, nine were found prints of insects, resembling in appearance the modern blood-sucking fleas. Size of detected insects ranged from 8 to 21 millimeters. For comparison, the size of their modern relatives are in the range from 1 to 10 millimeters.
Scientists believe that ancient fleas lived in feathers and hair dinosaurs - as indicated by the structure of blood-sucking machine that was designed to penetrate the skin sufficiently powerful. Michael Engel, one of the co- operation, said that ... The researchers also found that the ancients did not know how fleas jump as well as their modern relatives. Scientists believe that these insects do not jump from one victim to another, and waited for their victims, such as tree crowns.

Predictions and Prophecies
Oddly but Wang predskazla what happened in Japan this spring.
At all times the man had a burning curiosity about his future. He turned to all sorts of soothsayers, fortune-teller, and other visionaries.
It happened sometimes that the predictions came true, but mostly they are found to be false.
Predictions, of course, are piece goods, which depends primarily on the talent of the seer, as well as the time interval separating the event from the moment of its predictions. As a rule, the reliability of the event is inversely proportional to the duration of this interval.
Usually, the predictions of famous seers such as Nostradamus, Wang and others, presented in a form difficult to understand that they interpret after the occurrence of certain events, when the benefits of these predictions is no.
For example, the famous prediction of Vanga concerning Kursk: ... City of Kursk in central Russia, and it is unclear how it can be flooded. It turns out he meant the submarine Kursk. But this is realized after.
We know that messing clearly predicted only a few events: when will the victory over Germany, when he will die and some. However, he considered himself not a predictor, and the telepath. Those few times when messing predict the future events, he related to manifestations of intuition, supported by deep analysis of the situation. That is his guess closer to the predictions than the predictions.
forecasts.
Forecasts are political, financial, economic, medical, scientific and technical. They are usually based on the data collection of information about the events in this area of work. This data is then analyzed to identify patterns. In the best case on the basis of the data, a mathematical model and the extrapolation is carried out for the next time.
However, the reliability of the results decreases rapidly with increasing time interval forecasting. Therefore trust the forecasts as well as the predictions should be very cautious.
All the complexity of predicting and forecasting in the fact that we live in a world of consequences, without the slightest opportunity to experience and understand the causes of what is happening. Our five senses organs, even enhanced with the latest devices, unable to penetrate the world of causes, and therefore we can only capture the events and to gain stats. After that, analyze and make predictions for the future with any degree of probability of occurrence. A striking example of such a ...
But as often happens in our globally connected world of non-linear, when a sudden, just a small event changes the whole character of the subsequent process. This is the price forecasts every. Example of this is enough.
Science Club of Rome forecast for world population growth problem, formulated 30 years ago, has not proved. It is not possible to explain the current global demographic transition, expressed in a sharp drop in global fertility.
However, with doctored. Kapitza forecast can also hang in the air, because he is unable to account for future planetary events: accidents, wars, climate change and others that can dramatically affect the demographic picture.
