The President of Infodrome Media Center Mikhail Leonardovich talks about the creation of information systems for pharmacies, distributors and manufacturers, business and the secrets of its efficiency, the need to work in a single information space. Grotz.
"You are the ancestor of the Cross-Market program for pharmacies, with the aim of streamlining and systemizing the supply market data. How did you come to this?
"Perhaps fate has brought me. I'm an ordinary Soviet engineer. The last thing I did in this regard was to participate in the testing of the Buran space shuttle at the Tushin plant. Now in those hulls where we simulated Buran's orbital movement, there is a company "SIA INTERNATIONAL Ltd." I remember i had 24 computers in my control back then. It was a completely well-established production: while I was going to the last employee, handing out tasks, the first one was already showing the result.
"It turns out that you are an effective leader and a great strategist…
"You know, I'm a man of scientific mindset, I'm interested in research. It has always been important for me to be interested in the first place. I was deeply interested in programming theory, programming languages. And in this I was more interested in the aspect of psychological interaction between a person and the computer. Sometimes you take the task, you start to design, there are a lot of questions, branches, then suddenly comes the command of this task to throw, start another, and after a while you need to go back to the previous, and you have forgotten everything. There is a fear that you can ruin everything. And then I came to the conclusion that there should be a programming language that allows you to write down on one sheet of paper a task of any complexity. I called this approach Page System a single-page system, and the language, respectively, – PSL (Page System Language). Our company has four leading programmers, they all work in this language. The efficiency of these 4 people is equal to the efficiency of 40 people. They take on complex and long-term challenges and solve them with success. I have so far been able to set the right strategic goals, the employees effectively solve them, and we are introducing a new product to the market.
At one time after the "restructuring" I worked as an employee in one of the first joint ventures. It was the Franco-Italian-Russian company Interquadro, and I had the task of being the head of the project for automation of the Omsk synthetic rubber plant.
In 1998, the government of Moscow came up with the idea to equip the state pharmacy network with the information service "Minitel" (the forerunner of Internet services, at this time was very popular in France). Working for the Interquadro joint venture, I was responsible for the implementation of the Minitel information system. Naturally, I was tasked with developing a service for pharmacies based on "Minitel", but soon enough the project closed, funding stopped. Then the former head of THE CAAs-2 (2nd Central Pharmacy Warehouse) Natalia Gazimovna Seinutdinova, who was impressed with the capabilities of the prototype of the information system, offered me as a developer: "Can't personal computers to make the same system?"
And after a few months we demonstrated the result: on one side – CAAs-2, and on the other – an arbitrary number of pharmacies, where the system is installed. Pharmacies accept the goods remains of the warehouse, form an application, the application is immediately transferred to the warehouse. Thus was born an individual system of operational communication of THE CASE-2 with the design name "MEX." The system was already serving 600 pharmacies a year later and was working reliably on the disgusting lines of communication at the time.
The individual system of THE CASE-2 was brought to the market at the same time as the individual system of the Treadek CV, and later another 20-30 distributors joined the creation of their own individual systems.
It became obvious that for pharmacies to optimize the procurement process and reduce time costs it was necessary to build an integral system, from communication with pharmacies it became clear that the market formed a need for an integrated system. At that time we were working within the structure of the Cross NTC, my partner was engineer Vladimir Lebedev, a modem specialist, and his professional knowledge helped us to build the system. Thus, the idea and the name of the Cross-Market system were actually formed, and Infodrom Media was organized for the project. I turned to the leadership of CAAS-2 and honestly said that I would like to do this task. The integrated system is a direct competitor to the individual system. I was ready for what Natalia Gazimovna would say, they say, how so, we pay you for so many years, and you … But she said, "Michael Leonardovich, you are a talented man, go and do." This woman helped me a lot. I'd really like her to be involved in the life of the corporation, but I can't find her.
"And you started making the system?"
— Yes. I'm a man of engineering strategic thinking. When I do something new, I evaluate the future, because the business you do has to feed you and give you income for development and expansion.
Building a system is impossible without formulating contractual relations, the distributors sector is ready for it. With pharmacy establishments, we initially began to sign contracts for maintenance. The program became an instrument of their business. And when we talked about the price, I proposed such a scheme: we set the program and the cost for its maintenance per month. It is important that the client makes applications. If there are applications for amounts more than a certain limit, then no fee arises.
Usually the market understands everything in the percentage of turnover, it is so arranged. And we have introduced a different concept: each distributor company has a price list, and the payment should depend on the size of this price list, not on the turnover. The market is a seasonal phenomenon, today the pharmacy ordered 5, and tomorrow it orders 25. When we planned the system, we knew that it was necessary to do it for the whole market, and in the market the most important thing was the Consent of the Participants. There are sometimes different competing companies at our conference table, but when they're here, they have the first question, and you pay a lot to Cross Market. Everyone has a standard contract, but the resulting interest rate is different.
The "Cross-Market" system was developing, new services appeared – we together with distributors managed to formalize and implement electronic invoices (EPD), analytical service, integrated pharmacy automation, bonus promotion service Drugs. And soon we signed 300 contracts, we were the first to offer an integral system in the market. Then competitors began to appear. But I am calm about any competitor, because I know that I am still ahead. It is a pity that competitors have destroyed contractual relations with pharmacy institutions, declaring the lack of contractual relations a "competitive" advantage.
What was your goal?
To improve the efficiency of all parts of the Russian pharmaceutical market through the comprehensive implementation of the concept of the Single Information Space (EIP). I think that if you have developed and implemented an idea or program that has allowed people to save money, then you can safely claim 20% of the amount of savings. These funds can and should be invested in the implementation of the EIP concept. If we plan something, and for life we plan and do a lot of things, then we need to leave the school for ourselves, so that people can learn from it and go forward. In business, relationships between people are important.
– Are the participants of this program pharmacies, manufacturers and distributors?
"The integrated system started with distributors and pharmacies. Today, this tree begins to grow, there are pharmacy chains, many other integral sites, the system becomes interesting to manufacturers. In addition to formulating the concept, the EIP should create a Machine for the implementation of the EIP project. Such a machine can only be the Public Equity Society (PAO).
In 2012, Infodrom PLC was established to implement the EIP project. Now we invite all interested market participants to be shareholders of this platform. The first investors of this corporation are the creators of the Cross-Market system. We are ready to invest in this project significant financial resources, knowledge, experience and technological developments of our company.
The shareholding business is a slightly different business. Let me give you an example. I have a good program that pharmacies need, but pharmacies need to find out about it, that is, either I send messengers, or report on this automation as a general partner of the international award "GOLD STUPKA". The Corporation has the necessary funds for the competition. The main task of the Corporation is to convey to people the idea of the EIP and to present those who already support this idea. We need to unite to solve global issues. Together, any business can be done more efficiently, quickly and efficiently.
I think it is desirable for all potential stakeholders to participate in this process. In the process of the Corporation's purposeful activity, the intangible assets of the participants (experience, knowledge, communications, technological developments, unresolved problems, ambitions) could manifest and materialize. We need to unite and we need to act.
I think the legal participants of PAO will be 5-6 distribution companies, 8-10 manufacturers, information companies, pharmacy chains. Pharmaceutical market management (individuals) are also ready to participate in the corporation – more than 50 agreements have been signed to purchase options for the purchase of Shares of Infodrom PLC. Inside the corporation, we should dock the multifaceted interests of different business areas of the market: pharmacy institutions should be told what rules should be on the stock exchange – there should be no refusals, if refused, compensate. Distributor is interested in payments, so we need to create a special platform.
– Why does the distributor take over the financing of deferral payments of pharmacies? Maybe the banking structure should be involved in this?
"If the banking structure took over this process, there would be more reasonable conditions. Banks and insurance companies can participate in this project. Every participant in this relationship has problems in the market. And the corporation could formulate them systemically and, uniting the interests of all, to offer competent solutions.
– Are distributors interested in lending to banks instead of them?
"Now it turns out that the distributor is a logisticist, a custodian of goods in a warehouse, a marketer, a financier, and a whole information campaign. He tries to deal with all aspects of the activity. And there should be a main direction, effective, and the accompanying tasks can be given to quality outsourcing.
Any distributor is interested in expanding its customer base in the regions, he is ready to finance it. The corporation is also interested in expanding its customer base, so that everyone has a good program, not necessarily the development of our company. Automation is a complex process that requires a lot of human effort. And pharmacies that are automated, in some ways should be standard, at least in services and interfaces necessarily.
Are you going to take the company to an IPO?
"In the long run, it is possible. The need for an IPO (Initial Public Offer) may arise when the range of tasks solved by the PAO is expanded. Ipo results include companies that have proven themselves in the market, usually 4-5 years after the start of the activity.
Why did you choose the Republic of Cyprus as your place of registration?
"It's a forced step somewhere. The big task of creating the EIP requires a large share capital, according to the project estimate, 50 million. Euro. In the legislation of the Russian Federation, if you declare a serious amount when creating a society, then in six months you should have half of this amount, and in a year – all this capital, otherwise the parameters of society should be revised.
Cyprus is a zone of English law and a public company registered in Cyprus differs from a PAO registered in Russia. There are other rules of the game in English law. You declare the share capital, so you have to pay tax, to collect the necessary number of shareholders of the founders (8 people), then you have to register the charter.
These procedures were carried out, the statutory capital of 10 million was registered. euro, taxes were paid (0.6%) and now the implementation of 100 million. shares with an initial price of 0.5 euros theoretically provide an opportunity to raise funds for the implementation of the EIP project. Undistributed shares belong to the society, and are not in the hands of "buyers", the contract for the acquisition of shares is signed with the society.
It is not necessary to understand that in order to implement the EIP project it is necessary to put 50 million in a stack in one place. euro – these funds, perhaps in greater quantities, are concentrated in the intangible assets of potential project participants. Participation in shares of PAO is just an opportunity to "materialize" these assets. The potential participant should simply "close" his eyes and say to himself "I'm worth so much…" after that to conclude a contract with pao to purchase shares in the long-term option mode. Yes, 1% will have to pay at the signing of the share purchase and sale agreement, in 18 months it is necessary to buy back 10% of the shares, then given 4 years to buy back the main body of shares. An option is an opportunity, not a share buyback obligation. The task of PAO is to launch such business processes in which the intangible assets of the participant will be in demand and, accordingly, paid for by the society or exchanged for shares, such as pharmacy automation software or database buyers of the Far East region, etc.
You can't sit there and wait for things to change. For example, we have no roads. You can sit and wait for the state to build for us, and you can assemble a group of 10-15 people who drive good cars, jump off and build a road, then charge a small fee for the use of this road. And then on this road you can build a lot of cafes, parking lots. As a result, the machines do not break, and the money is earned.
"Why did you decide to call the company Infodrom?"
"16 years ago, when we started the Cross-Market system, Infodrom was founded. I saw the name of this company in a dream, and it was written in Greek letters. I associated this name with something big and technical: Cosmodrome, Aerodrome, Tankodrom, etc., but I didn't bother to look into the dictionary to clarify what Drom is.
When I flew to Cyprus and went to the bus stop, saw the name "dromeology" on the bus schedule, I realized that "Drom" is the road on which I have been going for 16 years. Infodrome is an information road or a path. Now it is a registered trademark. I pass this logo to Infodrom.
– Why did you decide to become the general sponsor of the International Pharmacy And Pharmacy, Medicine and Healthcare Awards?
"The International GOLD StUPKA Award is certainly of great interest. It has an excellent reputation in the market, it is not affiliated. "GOLD STUPKA" collects around itself only diamonds of the pharmaceutical market. Moreover, here they choose winners, laureates from completely different fields, different specialists of the industry. The award brings together representatives of pharmacy chains, the medical community and public figures. Such initiatives are important to support and develop. I hope that Infodrom has made the right decision to become the General Partner of this competition to present the concept of the EIP project. And the slogan of the "Pharmacists of all countries unite!" is close to our goals and objectives.

The main console utilities for working with MySQL are located in the directory where MySQL Server is installed. However, after installing MySQL Server, it is often difficult to find this directory. The best way is to add this path to your PATH environment variable, and then you can use MySQL and mysqldump utilities directly.
How to find the MySQL installation directory on Windows via UI
MySQL for Windows is service-based. To find the MySQL installation directory, look at the executable file specified in the MySQL Service. To view the value, follow the instructions below:
- Press Win+R
- Type services.msc
- Find MySQL service in the list, it is usually named as MySQL [version number], for example, MySQL 80
- Click on it with the right mouse button and select "Properties"
- The path to the mysqld.exe file can be seen in the "Path to executable" field
How to Find MySQL Installation Directory Using the Command Line
All actions that you do in the Windows user interface can be performed using a PowerShell script.
The following long PowerShell command shows the path to the MySQL installation directory:
$service_path = Get-WmiObject win32_service | ?{$_.Name -like '*mysql*'} | Select-Object -Property PathName -First 1 | Format-Table -HideTableHeaders | Out-String; $service_path.split('"')| Where-Object {$_ -like "*mysqld.exe*"} | %{$_.replace('mysqld.exe','').trim() }
How to Add the Path to the MySQL Server to Environment Variables
- Press Win+S to open a search box on your computer.
- Start typing "Environment" in the Windows search text box and select the "Edit the system environment variables" option in the "Best match" list.
- In the "System Properties" window that opens, you will find tabs such as "Computer Name," "Hardware" and other additional properties. Go to the "Advanced" tab and click the "Environment Variables" button at the bottom. On this tab, you can also set the parameters "Performance," "User Profiles" and "Startup and Recovery."
- The "Environment Variables" window will open. It is divided into two fields with user variables and system variables, where all variables and their values are displayed. Find "Path" variables in the "System variables" field as shown in the screenshot above.
- Double click on the "Path" variable to open a list with all Path variables, in which Path variables can be edited, added, or removed.
- Press the "New" button and enter a new path, for example, "C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\bin\", in a new editable line.
- Click OK to save the new PATH variable. However, for these changes to affect your command prompt window, you need to open it again.

Tony Fadell, senior vice president of Apple's iPod division, "father of the iPod," and an executive involved in the development of the iPhone, is leaving the company for personal reasons, Apple has announced. According to the announcement, Fadell will remain at Apple as an advisor to the CEO; his wife Danielle Lambert, vice president of Human Resources, will also be leaving the company.
In Fadell's place, Mark Papermaster, a former IBM executive, will be joining Apple as senior vice president of Devices Hardware Engineering, and will lead Apple's iPod and iPhone hardware engineering teams. IBM filed a suit against Papermaster last month citing a non-compete clause in an attempt to prevent the well-respected chip designer from joining Apple.
"Mark is a seasoned leader and is going to be an excellent addition to our senior management team," said Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO. "Tony and Dani have each made important contributions to Apple over the past eight years.

Is there a separate section in Rocket Spanish for verbs and verb tenses? If not is there a website, program, or other resource that would be a good supplement for verbs?

With a rapidly greying population, it is time for Thailand to equip every single youth with proper education and skills so they can help sustain the economy and shoulder the rising costs of elderly care.
Sadly this is not happening. Much attention has been given to the unemployment of new graduates, because it not only reflects the state of the economy and the quality of education, but it also sheds light on the struggles awaiting them in the future.
However, these unemployment figures are just the tip of the iceberg.
In an ageing society, young people are valuable human resources. Yet Thailand is letting more than a million young people fall through the cracks with no education, no jobs, no training and – no future.
According to a 2018 survey, 11.34% of Thailand's youth – that's more than a million people – are not in school, have no jobs and no skills. And most of them are women.
According to the International Labour Organisation (ILO), these unemployed youth are called NEET or "not in education, employment and training".
In Thailand, the NEET population is growing at a rate of 1.16% per year, while the number of young people in Thailand has been steadily dropping at an average of 1.07% over the past decade.
This is bad news. Not just for an ageing society with a critical labour shortage ahead, but also for the young people who fall through the cracks. These people are not just numbers in a labour force, but actual individuals with dreams and aspirations who have been cast aside and left to struggle on their own without support from the system.
This has to change.
As per the Report of the Population Projections for Thailand 2010-2040 by the Office of the National Economic and Social Development Council, Thailand will have become a completely aged society by this year, that is one in five people will be over 60, accounting for over 18.76% of the total population. With these numbers, a labour shortage is imminent, as is an increase in the ratio of dependent people.
The need for urgent action is clear. The NEET population require an immediate intervention so they can return to the education system, get vocational training, get jobs and become economically productive with better opportunities.
Work and independence will given them more self-esteem, which will prevent them from being lured into harmful situations.
In Thailand, young people who are outside the education system and the workforce fall into three main groups: 63% are household workers, 21% are taking a "rest" between jobs; and 16% are small children, sick or the severely disabled. Interestingly, 70% of NEET youngsters who are drop-outs or jobless are female.
There are many reasons for this group to be left out of the education and work system, mainly that the mainstream schooling system in Thailand does not support slow learners or those with learning difficulties. So, with such neglect, they eventually drop out of school.
Also, though the labour protection law lists jobs that people under 18 cannot be hired for, it does not specify the type of jobs they can do. Hence, employers overlook young people altogether for fear of breaking the law.
Another big reason for young women to drop out of school is unplanned pregnancies.
A 2018 labour force survey shows that 80% of NEET youngsters are female household workers who have not completed their education and have no vocational training. More than 50% of them are married and have finished no more than high school.
This is in line with findings from the Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS) 2015/16 in a collaboration between the United Nations Children's Fund (Unicef) and National Statistical Office (NSO), which offers a wide range of indicators on the situation of children and women. It shows that unplanned pregnancy among high-school students accounts for 88% of female dropouts.
One of the reasons why these youngsters have not received help is because there is no database specifying who they are and where they are. However, this should not excuse the lack of support.
Late last year, the Equitable Education Fund developed a nationwide information system covering over 4 million underprivileged children and youth who cannot be educated due to a lack of funds. This Information System for Equitable Education (iSEE) is linked with each student's identification number and their location through the geographic information system, thanks to cooperation from various state agencies.
From now on, this system can identify needy children and youth, as well as those outside the education system across the country so they can receive funds and support in line with their needs directly.
Apart from solving disparity at an individual level, this information system will also enable the government to allocate funds to address real needs more efficiently.
This database is a step in the right direction because it helps us to more accurately locate young people who have fallen through the cracks.
However, it is not sufficient, because the causes that push the youth out of the system are manifold and more comprehensive measures are necessary to address the problems of different groups with different needs.
Research called "Adolescent Employability Development Scoping Study" by the Thailand Research Development Institute (TDRI) aims to do just that. Sponsored by Unicef, the TDRI has come up with several policy recommendations to tackle the problem of young people who have been overlooked by schools, employers and vocational training institutes.
Firstly, the government must take charge. Apart from setting up dedicated working group to collect and share data on children and youth, the government must focus on providing vocational training for this NEET group in collaboration with non-governmental organisations and social enterprises, especially those that are working for children and youths in particular.
Secondly, relevant state agencies should come up with a list of jobs legally allowed for under 18s, to bridge the information gap.
Thirdly, effective and flexible mechanisms must be put in place so youth can be drawn into vocational training. This can be achieved through close cooperation between state agencies, non-profit organisations and social enterprises via incentives such as additional funding or tax privileges
Lastly, and most significantly, a culture of gender equality and women empowerment should be instilled in society. Statistics show that female teens make up the majority of young people who have been left out of the system and have ended up becoming domestic workers.
Also a large number of them were forced out of school due to unplanned pregnancies.
The existence of gender inequality is also made clear by the fact that more young women than young men lack opportunities for education and employment, and that gender discrimination is the main reason why young women do not have easy access to vocational training and the opportunity to realise their potential.
As the non-working population grows, bridging the educational gap is now more urgent than ever. Providing equal opportunities to tap every single youth's potential is one of the key solutions.
To bridge the gap effectively, the youth who are left behind by schools and the job markets must receive immediate help. Waiting until they reach the legal age to enter the job market may be too late, both for children and for an ageing country that is desperately in need of a helping hand.
Sirawitch Rattanaprateeptong and Nawathas Thasanabanchong are researchers at the Thailand Development Research Institute (TDRI). Policy analyses from the TDRI appear in the Bangkok Post on alternate Wednesdays.

H5D_GET_NUM_CHUNKS retrieves the number of chunks nchunks in a set of selected elements specified by fspace_id for a dataset specified by the identifier dset_id. If fspace_id is H5S_ALL, the function will retrieve the total number of chunks stored for the dataset.
NOTE: Please be aware that in the HDF5-1.10.5 release, the file space identifier does not (yet) support non-trivial selections. The implementation also does not currently support the H5S_ALL macro. As a workaround, get the dataspace for the dataset (H5D_GET_SPACE), select all elements in the dataspace (H5S_SELECT_ALL) and pass that in for fspace_id.
Returns a non-negative value if successful. Otherwise returns a negative value.
