For them, digital services and technologies are an integral part of everyday life. Scientists predict that many representatives of the generation will be involved in engineering, biomedicine, robotics, and art.

It seems to me that "the Cloud" means different things to different people. For some it means "someone else's data centre" that you have your servers (or rather computing services) outsourced to. For others it's a place from which you get your computing services and store data. It's somehow important to keep in mind with what idea of cloud your are working when planning your infrastructure.

An individual "Sokol" is made for each cosmonaut. Starts approximately 18 months prior to flight. First, experts take about 70 measurements to make a spacesuit. When he is ready, the astronaut is placed in a specialized bath with plaster, first without a spacesuit, then in it. On the basis of this plaster version, an individual lodgment is made. Before the flight, they must be tried on in order to correct the suit, if necessary.

Hackers successfully infiltrated the computer system controlling a water treatment facility in the U.S. state of Florida and remotely changed a setting that drastically altered the levels of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) in the water.  During a press conference held yesterday, Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri said an operator managed to catch the manipulation in real-time and restored the concentration levels to undo the damage.  "At no time was there a significant effect on the water being treated, and more importantly the public was never in danger," Sheriff Gualtieri said in a statement.
