NordStar Airlines has updated its mobile app—its most significant change in eight years. The update reflects the company's new approach to digital services and makes the app a fully integrated part of the travel experience: it helps you navigate, plan, and feel more confident at every step of the way.

The core idea behind the update is that the journey begins not at the airport, but the moment passengers open the app. Therefore, the NordStar team created an environment where technology operates seamlessly, the interface remains simple, and every element helps make the journey clear and comfortable.

The homepage has become dynamic and personalized. It adapts to the user's needs, offering stories, recommendations, quick actions, and a universal search. This space helps users quickly navigate and solve current problems. The personal account has become the app's core element: it houses flight documents, contacts, travel companion information, Stars, and loyalty program statuses. The user profile has been transformed into a single control center, simplifying access to all services and making the app experience logical and seamless.

NordStar Airlines has also implemented a notification system, which has become part of its passenger care. The app sends only essential reminders: information about departure times, check-in and boarding times, route changes, and personalized offers. After boarding, passengers receive information about available in-flight entertainment. Notifications have become a support tool, not a source of unnecessary information.

The updated app was created to make the digital part of your travel experience as convenient as the flight itself. It helps you navigate, make decisions, and feel confident throughout the entire journey—from planning to boarding.

The airline continues to develop its digital and offline services, taking into account the needs of different generations of travelers. Some value speed and technology, others simplicity, and still others attention to detail. NordStar Airlines strives to combine these expectations into a unified service standard that remains modern and human-centered.

BEIJING, March 10 (Xinhua) — Members of the delegation of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) and the People's Armed Police Force (PAP) attending the Fourth Session of the 14th National People's Congress (NPC) studied and discussed Xi Jinping's speech at the delegation's plenary session, delegation spokesman Zhang Xiaogang said on Tuesday.

Zhang Xiaogang stated that the speech by General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee, Chairman of the People's Republic of China, and Chairman of the Central Military Commission Xi Jinping will further enrich and develop the strategy for political construction of the army in the new era.

Attending the plenary session held last Saturday, Xi Jinping stressed the importance of fully utilizing the unique advantages of political military construction and called for joint efforts to steadily and sustainably advance the modernization of national defense and the armed forces.

Zhang Xiaogang said that deputies from the PLA and the People's Armed Police Force of China pledged to implement the system of responsibility of the Chairman of the Central Military Commission, continue to deepen political order, comprehensively strengthen military education and combat training, and join forces to promote high-quality development.

Regarding the priority areas of work on modernizing national defense and the armed forces, Zhang Xiaogang said that efforts will be focused on strengthening political guidance to deepen political order, intensifying the effective provision of advanced combat power, activating military governance with an emphasis on improving the systems and mechanisms for leading and managing the people's army, as well as strengthening the integrated national strategic system and building up relevant capabilities.

ON THE QUESTION OF THE DEFENSE BUDGET

The amount of funds allocated to national defense in the general state budget for 2026 is expected to increase by 6.9 percent compared to the previous year's actual expenditures. Of this amount, national defense expenditures from the central government budget are expected to increase by 7 percent.

Zhang Xiaogang named four priority areas for increasing the defense budget this year.

He stated that the budget increase would be aimed at promoting the integrated development of the army through mechanization, informatization and the introduction of intelligent technologies.

The funds will be used to optimize the joint operations system and strengthen the development of advanced combat capabilities.

The expenditure will also be used to accelerate the development of advanced weapons and equipment, scientific and technological innovation in the field of national defense, promote the construction of a modern rear service, as well as consistently deepen political order and thoroughly advance military training in conditions of simulating real combat operations.

FIGHT FORCES STRIVING FOR “TAIWAN INDEPENDENCE” AND OPPOSE INTERFERENCE BY FOREIGN FORCES

According to Zhang Xiaogang, the Chinese armed forces will resolutely combat separatist forces seeking "Taiwan independence" and oppose interference from external forces.

“We will demonstrate the deepest sincerity and make every effort to achieve the peaceful reunification of the Motherland, while at the same time we will under no circumstances promise to renounce the use of force,” he said.

The People's Liberation Army (PLA) will thoroughly strengthen its military training and combat preparation to enhance its ability to win, resolutely suppress any secessionist activities aimed at "Taiwan independence" or external interference, and firmly safeguard peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait region, he added. -0-

RUDN University environmental students took part in a winter expedition to the Urals

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

During winter break, students from the RUDN University Institute of Ecology embarked on a research expedition across the Perm Krai. Over three days, the students trekked 15 kilometers along the snowy trails of Kamenny Gorod and Usvinsky Pillars, conducted a winter animal census, and experienced 18th-century history at a concert in an ancient mansion.

With a map in hand

The trip to the Perm Krai combined fieldwork with immersion in the region's culture. The students not only explored the Ural landscapes but also worked as researchers. Their first day in Perm was spent as a geographic quest: map in hand, the students explored the city, navigated its surroundings, and learned about its unofficial symbols. They saw the "Perm Salty Ears" sculpture and the local guardian, the Brown Bear.

The main part of the expedition took place in the northern part of the region. The main attractions were the Stone City and the Usvinsky Pillars, giants of Perm. Having reached the peaks, the group explored the crevices between the boulders and the bizarrely shaped rocks.

Throughout the entire route, the students conducted a winter survey of the area: they measured the height and structure of the snow cover for future comparative observations and recorded how the vegetation was coping with the cold. Of particular interest was the winter animal census, which involved tracking animals: the students managed to document the tracks of some residents of the Kama region.

"We saw tracks of hares, minks, field mice, and even moose! Do you know what they look like? I saw them for the first time. These three days flew by so quickly that we didn't even have time to look back. They were full of impressions, beauty, and frost! We hope to return to the Perm region again!" — Daniil Chugaev, first-year student majoring in Ecology and Nature Management.

Hot tea against frost

The students highlighted several aspects of research work in winter conditions. They said the most challenging aspect of the expedition was keeping their hands and feet warm in the freezing temperatures. To avoid this, the group moved at a brisk pace and frequently drank hot tea from thermoses. There was a fair amount of snow, but with a long stride, it didn't hinder their movement, the future ecologists shared.

The students also noted a sense of oneness with nature: the hike participants experienced a sense of belonging, realizing they were literally walking in the same places where moose had walked before. Regarding their research, the students said their snow measurements allowed them to understand how "dirty" the winter periods were.

For example, gray streaks were visible on the snowdrifts on the roofs of houses in Usva. This could indicate either periods of thaw or pollutant emissions. Such observations help determine the environmental burden in the region. The maximum snow depth recorded by students in the mountains was approximately 90 cm.

"At the top of Stone City, snow completely covered the low trees and shrubs, providing them with warm shelter from the wind and cold. And that's a good thing. Even if a plant isn't completely covered, keeping the roots and lower part of the trunk warm helps the trees survive the frosts," says Daniil Chugaev.

The expedition allowed the children to experience a small winter adventure and practice useful skills that could be useful in their future careers.
