If you are planning to travel to Russia and are interested in literary history, the places on this list deserve a spot on your itinerary.  Russians are very proud of their rich literary heritage, and this is reflected in their well-curated and oft-frequented museums, houses, and estates dedicated to Russian authors. Here are 5 places we recommend that you visit during your travels to Russia. Tula – Yasnaya Polyana Situated outside the city of Tula, about 120 miles south of Moscow, this bucolic estate is where Leo Tolstoy was born and spent most of his life. It features a main house, a school founded by Tolstoy for the peasant children on the estate, and beautiful grounds. The house and school are now a museum, with many of Tolstoy’s books and possessions on display exactly as he left them. Opt for a guided tour, available in Russian, English, French, and German, or just wander the four thousand acres of forests, fields, ponds, and gardens by yourself to take in th...

Sharding is a type of database partition that split up very large databases the into smaller, faster, more easily managed parts called data shards. The word shard means a small part of a whole. Here's how Jason Tee explains sharding on The Server Side , "In the simplest sense, sharding your database involves breaking up your big database into many, much smaller databases that share nothing and can be spread across multiple servers." Technically, sharding is a synonym for horizontal partitioning. In practice, the term is often used to refer to any database partitioning that is meant to make a very large database more manageable. The governing concept behind sharding is based on the idea that as the size of a database and the number of transactions per unit of time made on the database increase linearly, the response time for querying the database increases exponentially.  Additionally, the costs of creating and maintaining a very large database in...

Kaliningrad , or “Little Russia,” as the locals call it, has gone through more than its fair share of historical turmoil: founded by the Teutonic Knights, it then belonged to the Kingdom of Poland, then to Prussia and the German Empire, only for it to finally become a part of the USSR and then Russia. Discover the many things to do in Kaliningrad, from learning about its maritime history to enjoying beautiful music. Königsberg Cathedral The Königsberg Cathedral is the most important Prussian building in Kaliningrad.

Cryptocurrency staking has become an alternative way for crypto investors to make money from the market. Staking of cryptocurrencies is usually possible by digital currencies using the proof of stake (PoS) and the delegated proof of stake (DPoS) consensus mechanisms. What is Proof of Stake? Proof of Stake (PoS) concept states that a person can mine or validate block transactions according to how many coins he or she holds. This means that the more  Bitcoin  or  altcoin  owned by a miner, the more mining power he or she has. What is staking in cryptocurrencies? Cryptocurrency staking is the act of hodling crypto in your wallet for a specific period, then earning interest as a result of that. Users receive rewards by hodling the cryptocurrencies, and the earnings differ depending on the length of time an investor hodl the cryptocurrency in their wallet.

The security of personal data, especially that which is stored online, is a human right. It has failed to evolve and actually been deteriorating in recent years. Blockchain technology has the potential to entirely change this. All of our data is stored online. We concede some of our most private information to the platforms that we use on a daily basis and we are often unaware which of our personal data is collected. Many users still conceal some of their most valuable data behind the shockingly weak combination of a username and password, with over half of users openly admitting they use the same password for all of their logins. Is Blockchain Secure? Yes, blockchain is innately secure. It utilises powerful  cryptography to give individuals ownership of an address and the cryptoassets associated with it, through a combination of public and private keys, made up of combinations of random numbers and letter. This solves the issue of stolen identity as ...

A one-cancels-the-other order (OCO) is a pair of orders stipulating that if one order executes, then the other order is automatically cancelled. An OCO order combines a stop order with a limit order on an automated trading platform. When either the stop or limit price is reached and the order executed, the other order automatically gets cancelled. Experienced traders use OCO orders to mitigate risk and to enter the market. Basics of a One-Cancels-the-Other Order - (OCO) Traders can use OCO orders to trade retracements and breakouts. If a trader wanted to trade a break above resistance or below support, they could place an OCO order that uses a buy stop and sell stop to enter the market. For example, if a stock is trading in a range between $20 and $22, a trader could place an OCO order with a buy stop just above $22 and a sell stop just below $20. Once the price breaks above resistance or below support, a trade is executed and t...

With 40% of the global workforce, agriculture sector  presents 6.4% of the entire world’s economic production  and its total worldwide production is $5,084,800 million. If you have ever visited a farm, you would have seen that farmers have complicated ecosystems with seasonal financing structures, careful timing and a lot of moving parts. After the food leaves the farm for the market, it becomes a part of the vast supply chain involving a lot of intermediaries. Everyone would like to know where the food has been produced before it is served on the plate. What if you could check the quality of food before you eat it? It could become possible with the use-cases of blockchain in executing contracts and tracking information transparently. Blockchain agriculture is one of the compelling use cases that makes the process of growing and supplying food simpler. The agriculture supply chain can provide all involved parties with a single source of truth. App...

When glamour meets tech, the corollary is very widely accepted by people over the world even though tech-enabled fabric would cost a little extra. Most of the big brands today are changing the course of conventional fashion towards a more outré fashion. Recently Levis launched a SUPER DOPE smart jacket in collaboration with Google specially for people who commute on a bike. It costs $350 yet it is gaining a lot of popularity. You can listen to music, enable google maps, answer phone calls and enable text on your jacket while on-go.

Legality- As you've probably figured out by this point, digital fingerprinting can be a powerful -- perhaps even invasive -- technology. Do you like the thought of your every online move being tracked, even if it's only for the purpose of targeted advertising? Here's a better question: Is it even legal? Identity tracking fingerprinting treads on shaky ethical ground that may be deemed overly invasive and unlawful in the future. But because it's a developing technology, those legal issues are still being sorted out. And with the Internet being a global network, laws regarding digital fingerprinting may develop completely differently from one country to another. According to Canada's guidelines, a digital fingerprint likely constitutes personal information, so usage of that information could be in violation of Canadian privacy laws. Canadian organizations are required to exhaust every possible non-invasive method of personal identification before resorti...
