    The mobile application “My id” helps residents of the capital to receive various city services, quickly view information from personal documents and use digital versions of some of them. Today, more than 20 documents and services are available in it.Department of Information Technology Moscow noted that in the two years since the launch of the application, its audience has exceeded 400 thousand people.

    “The My ID app has become an assistant for residents who actively use city services in their everyday lives. It provides access to information that the user has independently indicated in their personal account on mos.ru or when receiving government services. This allows you to always have the necessary information and documents at hand to fill out online forms, questionnaires, and applications. The app also provides digital versions of some documents that are needed to use city services. For example, at a clinic, you can scan the QR code of your compulsory medical insurance policy at an information terminal to make an appointment with a doctor, and at a library, show the barcode of your unified library card to borrow a book,” the press service of the Department of Information Technology said.

    The capabilities of the mobile application “My id” are constantly evolving. For example, this year all new services were combined in a catalog on the main screen. This allows you to quickly open QR codes for tickets to cultural events, go to the “My payments” service on the mos.ru portal, and view scanned copies of documents.

    For daily tasks

    The My ID app is useful if you need to fill out a paper application or an online form, but you don’t have the documents at hand. Without searching for photos on your smartphone, you can view information about your passport, birth certificate, driver’s license, taxpayer identification number, and other documents. The app also offers a digital version of the SNILS, the barcode of which can be presented at My Documents centers to receive services faster.

    The app also allows you to share document information with trusted people. This feature can be useful, for example, if you need to provide passport information to buy tickets or obtain a pass.

    For the whole family’s leisure

    This year, a new service appeared in the application — “Tickets”. With its help, you can visit city museums, theaters, exhibition halls and other cultural venues by presenting the QR code of the ticket purchased in the service “Mosbilet” or on the websites of institutions through a Mos ID account. Such a ticket can be used instead of its paper version, you will not need to present the original passport. To access the QR codes of tickets, you need to click on the corresponding icon in the upper right corner of the main screen and select the desired one from the list.

    The application can also be used in the library. To take or return a book, instead of a single library card, just show its barcode on the smartphone screen. The application also allows you to track the status of ordered publications through the service “Moscow Libraries” and control the return dates of books.

    A digital certificate of a large family is available in My ID. It contains information about all family members and the validity period of the status. The electronic document can be used to confirm the right to benefits in city institutions. For example, you can present a QR code in museums and theaters to get free tickets or a discount.

    Holders of the Muscovite card can also take advantage of discounts on goods and services from the program’s partners by presenting the card’s barcode from the application, for example, in supermarkets, pharmacies, bookstores and children’s stores, cafes and cultural spaces.

    In addition, QR codes of active orders placed on the website of the city loyalty program “Million Prizes” are available in “My ID”. These QR codes can be presented in stores, restaurants and other organizations – partners of the program.

    The My ID mobile app was launched in July 2023. It allows city residents to use services and services in the city: it provides quick access to information on personal documents and documents of their children, including passports, taxpayer identification numbers, insurance numbers and compulsory medical insurance (CMI) policies. The app helps view information and, if necessary, share it with trusted persons. Digital versions of some documents, such as a single library card, a Muscovite card and a compulsory medical insurance policy, are presented in the form of QR codes and barcodes. They can be used to receive city services.

    The application is available to registered users of the mos.ru portal – just log in using your account. In the settings, the user can independently select the documents they want to use. The information specified in the personal account or provided when receiving government services will automatically be displayed in the application.

    Answers to frequently asked questions and links to download the application can be found on the special project page “Mobile applications and services”.

    The creation, development and operation of the e-government infrastructure, including the provision of mass socially significant services, as well as other services in electronic form, corresponds to the objectives of the national project “Data Economy and Digital Transformation of the State” and the regional project of the city of Moscow “Digital Public Administration”.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: At the Faculty of Economics of NSU, 14 master’s students completed their studies under a joint program with the National Research University Higher School of Economics on innovative technologies in logistics

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Novosibirsk State University – Novosibirsk State University –

    Yesterday, diplomas were awarded to fourteen master’s students who completed their studies under the unique for Russia online educational program of two diplomas of NSU and HSE – “Innovative technologies of logistics and supply chain management in the digital economy”. This important project for NSU was launched in 2023 and was supported within the framework of the Priority 2030 program. To implement it, teachers joined forces Faculty of Economics, NSU and staff of the International Centre for Supply Chain Management at the National Research University Higher School of Economics.

    — A well-built logistics system is an important factor that affects the profitability of a business. This area, like most others, is currently being transformed due to the active implementation of digital technologies. In the current situation, specialists are in demand who are able to build a logistics strategy, respond flexibly and quickly adapt to a changing market, reorient supply chains and forecast demand in conditions of uncertainty. Therefore, it was decided to launch a new educational program, — one of the scientific directors of the master’s program, Doctor of Economics Naimdzhon Ibragimov, told about the history of the project.

    According to the Dean of the NSU Faculty of Economics, PhD in Sociology Tatyana Bogomolova, the key to the success of this project was the high motivation to gain new experience and knowledge among both students and the teaching staff scattered throughout the country. The training was held online according to the regular schedule of the NSU Faculty of Economics Master’s program, two classes every weekday from 6 p.m. Novosibirsk time and up to five classes in the morning on Saturdays.

    — Our students have received such a volume of knowledge on logistics from HSE specialists in two years of study that few people receive in four years. The NSU Faculty of Economics was responsible for the blocks of disciplines on management, instrumental economic analysis and modern modeling in this project. The co-directors of the program were the gurus of domestic logistics, Doctor of Economics Valentina Dybskaya and Doctor of Economics Viktor Sergeev from the HSE, and Doctor of Economics Naimdzhon Ibragimov and Candidate of Economics Elena Prishchenko from the NSU Faculty of Economics. Our students were the real co-authors of the logistics program! — noted Tatyana Bogomolova.

    When talking about why they chose this program, graduates point out that the program provided an opportunity to learn something new and gain practical knowledge.

    Anton Lee:

    — I was finishing my bachelor’s degree in management here and realized that I wanted fundamentally new knowledge that I didn’t have before. That same year, a program in logistics was opening. I was attracted by the fact that I had two diplomas — from NSU and HSE. And the topic, in my opinion, was very interesting.

    Igor Pletnev:

    — I chose this program because I was interested in participating in such a joint unusual project, on the one hand, and, on the other hand, in acquiring some understanding of the practical application of my knowledge. That is, if in the bachelor’s degree I was given a lot of general theory, then in the master’s degree in this program they showed me how to apply it in practice, in particular, in logistics.

    The new program allowed for a more detailed study of a rather narrow but promising field, which has great practical significance. Also, the cooperation of the two universities made it possible to present different points of view on the same subject.

    Oleg Bychenkov:

    — For us, it was useful as a new area of knowledge that we discovered for ourselves, a narrower one. It is important both at the macro level for the economy as a whole, and at the micro level for the enterprises in which we will work in the future or which we may even found.

    Anton Lee:

    — We have gained fundamental knowledge in a new industry. We have never touched the logistics field before. Now such big gates have opened, where there is a huge layer of knowledge that we have never touched.

    Igor Pletnev:

    — Each higher education institution, especially such renowned ones as the Higher School of Economics and Novosibirsk State University, has established scientific schools. The main advantage of such network programs is that students, studying in them, gain an understanding of the subject from different points of view.

    More specifically, courses in strategic management and business modeling will be particularly useful in practice.

    The program’s graduates also shared with us their plans for the future:

    Oleg Bychenkov:

    — Now there is much more variability, because a diploma from two top universities is valued both in Novosibirsk and in the capital. We have the opportunity to either change our specialization or go deeper within our profession. I was just being selected for the field of strategic consulting, which became possible thanks to studying in this master’s program, and I successfully passed all stages of the selection.

    Anton Lee:

    — I received a good fundamental education from Novosibirsk State University and a layer of new knowledge within the framework of the master’s degree. I saw new opportunities for myself, so I am more inclined to open my own business.

    Igor Pletnev:

    — My plans for the future are grandiose, now I have a rather interesting specialty and set of knowledge. Considering my practical experience in IT, I plan to join the team developing information products to ensure logistics.

    The man has been remanded in custody and will reappear in Manukau District Court on 18 August.

    Inspector Adkin says Police also apprehended a further three people in relation to shoplifting and burglary offences throughout the district in the past six months.

    “We have charged the trio, who are family members, with a total of 36 charges.

    “We will allege the group stole more than $7000 worth of grocery items.

    “It’s really pleasing to have brought four people before the court in relation to these crimes and for them to be held accountable for their actions.”

    A 54-year-old man was remanded in custody to reappear in Manukau District Court on 22 July facing charges of shoplifting and burglary.

    A 53-year-old woman charged with seven counts of shoplifting will appear in Manukau District Court today.

    The Northern Territory Police Force arrested three people in relation to assaulting police while attending an unrelated incident in Malak last night.

    About 6:30pm, Casuarina General Duties police attended a residence in Malak in relation to an ongoing investigation. A group of people were gathered and police initiated enquiries and removed drug paraphernalia from the scene.

    A 16-year-old male allegedly attempted to regain possession of the drug paraphernalia and was placed under arrest after he disregarded police directions. The youth resisted arrest and assaulted an officer by biting him. A 48-year-old male and a 55-year-old female from the group then allegedly assaulted the attending police whilst they were affecting the youth’s arrest. Additional police attended the scene, and all three alleged offenders were apprehended.

    As a result, one police member had to attend Royal Darwin Hospital (RDH) for treatment, while another member received minor injuries.

    The male youth was later charged with two counts of assault police, resist police and furnish false name to a police officer.

    The adult male and adult female were both charged with assault police.

    All three offenders will appear in Court today.

    Acting Senior Sergeant Christopher Humphries said “No one deserves to be assaulted in their line of work no matter the job.

    “This behaviour will not be tolerated, and police will arrest those who choose to put the safety of our officers at risk.”

    New Zealand Food Safety is supporting NZ Drinks Ltd in its recall of Hydr8 Spring Water (600ml x 24) as the product may contain blue plastic.

    “If you have any Hydr8 Spring Water in the 24-pack of 600ml bottles, with best-before dates of: 10 JUN 27, 11 JUN 27, and 16 JUN 27, don’t drink it. Return it to the place of purchase for a refund. If that’s not possible, throw it out.”

  • MIL-OSI New Zealand: Health Education – Nursing students ready to walk – NZNO

    Source: New Zealand Nurses Organisation

    Concerning interim findings of the New Zealand Nurses Organisation Tōpūtanga Tapuhi Kaitiaki o Aotearoa (NZNO) 2025 Student Survey has found most students will go overseas if they can’t get jobs in New Zealand.
    This comes as Te Whatu Ora refused to address NZNO claims around its obligation to employ new graduates in collective agreement negotiations.
    The survey was completed by 1246 nursing students, and NZNO National Student Unit Co-chair Bianca Grimmer said the results were crystal clear – “hire us or we will leave”.
    “The survey shows 61.86% of students were considering seeking a nursing job overseas if they were unable to get a new graduate job in Aotearoa New Zealand. This increased to 73% of Māori respondents.
    “This is a significant potential loss of our domestic nursing workforce.”
    Finances remained a significant issue for all students and was linked to high levels of stress by 80.39% of respondents, Bianca Grimmer said.
    “An increased fear of not getting work is exacerbated by most students’ money concerns issues, many of whom depend on funding from student loans for their survival.
    “We have a health system in crisis. At a time when we desperately need more homegrown nurses, the Government and nursing schools really need to do more to encourage students to stay in their studies and come out well and ready to nurse.”
    At least 35.61% of respondents said they did not work in paid employment and 61.58% of respondents had to significantly reduce their paid work hours during placement, she said.
    “Paying all students the minimum or living wage while on clinical placements would make a massive difference to graduate numbers. Nursing students need assistance while they study.”
    NZNO Te Rūnanga Tauira chair Davis Ferguson said Māori and Pacific students are essential, and better cultural support in nurse training would result in a health system that better meets the needs of Māori and Pacific peoples.
    “The lack of appropriate cultural support in nursing studies is an issue the Government and training providers need to urgently address.”
    The full findings of the survey will be made available on the NZNO website later this year.

    Highlighting that the sixth generations of the Indian diaspora in Trinidad and Tobago are set to receive their Overseas Citizenship of India (OCI) cards, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Thursday that the former are not just connected by blood or surnames as India wholeheartedly welcomed them.

    “Today, I am happy to announce that OCI cards will now be given to the sixth generation of the Indian diaspora in Trinidad & Tobago. You are not just connected by blood or surname. You are connected by belonging. India looks out you, India welcomes you, and India embraces you,” Prime Minister Modi said, during his address to the Indian community in Trinidad and Tobago.

    He also mentioned that PM Kamla Persad-Bissessar’s ancestors were from Bihar’s Buxar region. “People consider her the daughter of Bihar… Bihar’s heritage is the pride of India and the world… Bihar has shown the way to the world in various fields for centuries. New opportunities will emerge from Bihar in the 21st century also,” he added.

    The Prime Minister also welcomed the return of Ram Lalla to Ayodhya after 500 years with great joy and have deep faith and devotion towards Lord Ram. Speaking to the Indian diaspora, PM Modi said, “We remember you had sent holy water and Shilas for building the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya.”

    “I have also brought something here with a similar sense of devotion. I have also bought a replica of Ram Mandir and some holy water from River Sarayu,” he added. 

    PM Modi also said: “The Ram-Leelas in Sangre Grande and Dow Village are said to be truly unique. Shri Ram Charit Manas says, राम धामदा पुरी सुहावनि। लोक समस्त बिदित अति पावनि।। It means, the sacred city of Prabhu Shri Ram is so beautiful that its glory is spread across the world. I am sure you all welcomed the return of Ram Lalla to Ayodhya after 500 years with great joy.”

    “Prabhu Shri Ram says that the glory of Ayodhya springs from the holy Sarayu. Whoever takes a dip in its water, finds eternal union with Shri Ram himself,” PM Modi said.

    “You all know that earlier this year, the world’s largest spiritual gathering, the Maha Kumbh took place. I have the honour to carry water from the Maha Kumbh also with me. I request PM Kamla Persad-Bissessar ji to offer the holy waters of the Sarayu River and Maha Kumbh to the Ganga Dhara here. May these holy waters bless the people of Trinidad and Tobago.”

    The Prime Minister also added: “I know the story of the Indian community in Trinidad and Tobago is about courage. The circumstances your ancestors faced could have broken even the strongest of spirits. But they faced hardships with hope. They met problems with persistence. They left the Ganga and Yamuna behind but carried the Ramayan in their hearts. They left their soil, but not their soul. They were not just migrants. They were messengers of a timeless civilisation. Their contributions have benefitted this country — culturally, economically and spiritually. Just look at the impact that you have all had on this beautiful nation.” “Our bond goes beyond geography and generations,” PM Modi noted.

    The Prime Minister also said: “Kamla Persad-Bissessar Ji — as the first woman Prime Minister of this country. Her Excellency Christine Carla Kangaloo Ji – as the female President. Late Basdeo Pandey, the son of a farmer, rose to become Prime Minister and a respected global leader. Eminent math scholar Rudranath Capildeo, music icon Sundar Popo, cricketing talent Darren Ganga, and Sewdass Sadhu, whose devotion built the Temple in the Sea. The list of achievers goes on.”

    “You, the children of Girmitiyas, are not defined by struggle anymore. You are defined by your success, your service, and your values. Honestly, there must be something magical in the “doubles” and “dal poori” — because you have doubled the success of this great nation!” PM Modi said in his address to the Indian community here.

    “When I last visited 25 years ago, we all admired the cover drives and pull shots of Lara. Today, it is Sunil Narine and Nicholas Pooran who ignite the same excitement in the hearts of our youth. Between then and now, our friendship has grown even stronger.”

    “Benaras, Patna, Kolkata, Delhi may be cities in India. But they are also names of streets here. Navratra, Mahashivratri, Janmasthmi are celebrated here with joy, spirit and pride. Chowtal and Baithak Gana continue to thrive here.”

    “I can see the warmth of many familiar faces. And I see curiosity in the bright eyes of a younger generation – keen to know and grow together. Truly, our bonds go well beyond geography and generations,” PM Modi said. (IANS)
