October 5 is World Teachers' Day. That day is also declared Teacher's Day in Armenia. I think there is no need to talk about the role and importance of the teacher. everyone knows that any profession is initiated from the school desk, and a lot depends on the teacher when forming an attitude towards this or that profession... The importance of the question is what the teacher is like, his knowledge and human quality positive harmony, the ability to display it flexibly... If not every day, at least on this day of every year, the country's government should ask itself whether everything possible has been done for the effective work of the teacher, and the teacher should ask himself whether he is up to the task. who demands his profession : 

Got to school
Got wet.
Got angry

Computers, love them or hate them, we rely on them every day. You’re using one right now! But have you ever stopped to think about who invented computers and how they came to dominate our lives? So who created the first computer, and whom can I blame for all those wasted hours?

You might be surprised to learn that many computer pioneers struggled to get funding for their ideas and faced skepticism from their contemporaries. The word «computer» is also much older than you might think!

The first computer, the Antikythera mechanism (200 BC – 70 BC), was mechanical. Initially, computers were people – it was a job title. The first computer was invented by Charles Babbage (1822) but was not built until 1991! Alan Turing invented computer science. The ENIAC (1945) was the first electronic general-purpose digital computer; it filled a room. The Micral N was the world’s first “personal computer”(1973). It was not a commercial success. The Epson HX-20 (1981) was the world’s first laptop, although you wouldn’t recognize it as a laptop today. The first Mac debuted in 1984.

Ոխ պահելով վազի դեմ, մորենին ասաց.

— Քեզ նման կբարձրանամ և կրկնակի պտուղ կտամ և կգերազանցեմքեզ, որովհետև ձմռանը ես անթառամ եմ լինում:

Վազը հակաճառեց նրան.

— Քո պարծանքը կատարյալ կլինի, երբ աշնանը հավաքվեսհնձանում։

Իսկ աշնանը մորենին ոտնատակ եղավ։

Holding the sheep against the vine, the moraine said:

— I will rise like you and bear twice as much fruit and surpass you, for in winter I do not wither.

Vaz contradicted him.

— Your boast will be perfect when you gather in the fall.

And in the fall, the moraine was trampled.

On the West Coast, inexperienced pilots and radar men had mistaken fishing boats, logs and even whales for Japanese warships and submarines. Tensions were high, and they only grew after U.S. Secretary of War Henry Stimson warned that American cities should be prepared to accept “occasional blows” from enemy forces:
