 for sourcing goods, India could benefit, provided it plays its cards well. “From the Indian perspective, these FTAs are a positive start, and perhaps indicate that India’s atmanirbhar approach is not about self-sufficiency but about integrating into global supply chains. China’s geopolitical mistakes have presented India another opportunity,” said Kotasthane.
An early test of whether India is ready to integrate into the global market will be later this year, when the complete trade pact with Australia—encompassing agro-production and diary—gets inked. Trade pacts are beneficial only when there is benefit and complementarity at both ends. As India pushes to bring its economy to the global centrestage, it remains to be seen if it will be able to balance domestic concerns with global expectations.
Governments can start AI regulation by tackling pressing problems of unethical existing AI. Ethical training is of the essence in the Computer Science curriculum.
While AI can greatly improve our safety. It is there to remind us of what we can be forgetful about or make us aware of inherent risks. However, we should be careful when counting on it to be our angel guardian.
When we run regression, we hope to be able to generalize the sample model to the entire population. To do so we have to meet several assumptions of the multiple linear regression model. If we are violating these assumptions it stops our generalizing conclusions to our target population because the results might be biased or misleading, so what are the assumptions? how do we check them?
After dealing with missing data in your dataset. You will most likely face Categorical Features in numerous datasets. In the majority of cases, these features tend to be non-numerical and thus need to be converted to be processed in machine learning algorithms.
SaveSnippet or Save Snippet is tool that can be very useful for developers. As they always need to recheck and get some snippet that does the job perfectly.
When working on data science projects, it’s very likely that you’ll be encountering missing data in your columns. It’s not ideal to disregard or take out all the rows containing missing data for any project. Other columns for the same row where the data is missing can be critical for the data preparation state, so it’ll be wiser to infer or find a way to fill in the missing values in our dataset for a better outcome.Relieve HR workload.

Read about how the prepping movement came to Russia, who represents it, and whether the stereotypes about those who are always ready for the apocalypse are true. In the article, there are materials translated and adapted from real Russian Preppers forums, newspapers, and YouTube channels by real-life Russian Preppers.

5.1.1 Is it possible to carry weapons in Russia now?
The origins of the Russian Preppers movement can be traced back to 1649 when the first fire department was established by Tsar Alexis of Russia. His successors Peter the Great and Tsar Alexander II of Russia, modernized the fire defense copying western models.
In 1932, the first civil defense methods were established with the rise of Soviet Air Defense Forces. Finally, in 1960, civil defense became an integral part of the Soviet Ministry of Defense.
Unfortunately, there was no real survival culture in the USSR. The state itself took care of civil defense and built bomb shelters in all residential areas. Besides, saving everybody from the enemy, on your own, was contrary to the ideas of patriotism and collectivism. Soviet preppers thought that it was worth meeting your enemy face to face, as part of a glorious Russian army. Waiting for the war to happen in a self-sustained bunker did not in any way fit with the image of a true Soviet person.
Being one of the largest countries in the world at the time, full of complexities, the USSR prepared for all kinds of disasters, and rightly so. The USSR accepted the fact that zero risks is impossible and prepared extensively on all levels (local and federal) for conflict (extremist political struggle, social disturbances), and non-conflict (natural, ecological) emergencies.
Different local units and federal administrations focused firstly on disaster prevention, then on civil defense and State Reserves for the response to disasters. This is an extremely difficult task because the frequency of disasters only goes up. One look at how many natural disasters are happening around the world in just one month shows the importance of preparedness system.
President Yeltsin founded the Russian Federation’s Ministry of Civil Defense, Emergencies, and the Elimination of the Consequences of Natural Disasters (EMERCOM). Today’s Russian Emerson has been under the direct jurisdiction of President of the Russian Federation — Vladimir Putin since 2012.
There is also a complex system for monitoring, reporting, and alerts called Oksion. This notification system consists of on-street large screens, cameras, and equipment for radiation control.
How efficient the Emerson and Oksion are, tells a story of the huge oil spill which happened in Siberia, in May 2020. According to the article, the government officials learned about the disaster two days after the fact, from social media, infuriating not only Greenpeace but Putin himself as well.
Nevertheless, Russia’s initiative to cooperate with its neighbors can only be applauded. The Hindu reports that Russia wants to share its disaster management experiences and system. Russia is concerned about forecasting tsunami and other natural calamities.
How Russian Preppers became Russian Survivalists?
However, with the collapse of the USSR, everything changed – the responsibility for the life and safety of themselves and their families fell on the shoulders of the citizens themselves.
It was then that the first Russian survivalists appeared. True, they, unlike their American counterparts, did not build bunkers themselves but thought about living in nature or the countryside off the land.
Russian preppers had where to get their knowledge: the culture of hikes and dachas was just widespread in the USSR. And the gloomy atmosphere of the post-apocalypse just came into vogue.
Some Russian preppers fell in love with it while walking through the radioactive wastelands of FALLOUT and STALKER, some had seen enough disaster films, and others were carried away by the idea of survival, having read several dystopias.
According to the YouTube Survkit channel by Roman Kuzminov, many Russian Preppers were set in motion by the novel “The Marauder” by Berkem al Atomi about how the main character and his wife are trying to get to the Chelyabinsk region across Russia divided by the western invaders.
Who are Russian Preppers?
Despite the stereotypes about survivalists, it is difficult to compose a generalized image of a representative of a subculture. There are many currents within the movement itself: preppers are those who make huge stocks in bunkers in case of a conditional nuclear war. Bush crafters are craftsmen who make a fire without matches, who know all kinds of mushrooms and plants and assemble a reliable hut from the devil knows what and sticks under
