Among drivers, the belief that "if the rules are relaxed, there will be more freedom" is very widespread. However, few realize how ugly the consequences of this "freedom" can be for public safety. So, how should deputies act to avoid increasing risks to health and life? If not, when discussing the increase of the error margin in speed measurement to +10 km/h, speed enthusiasts would not have put forward new demands, as their "appetite opened during the meal." If you don't believe it, pay attention to the excerpt from the following post: Look, when the car's speedometer shows 60 km/h, the actual speed should be around 60-70 km/h. Shouldn't it logically require the opposite? Just this emphasis has inspired me to criticize some of my subjective opinions on this matter. Speedometer and GPS: which one is reliable? In fact, the speedometer of any car accurately shows the actual speed. At most, it may be off by 1 km/h lower or higher. This is how the factory "setup" is made, and it makes sense. However, there is a difference in the speeds shown by the GPS installed in the car's anti-radar or GPS applications on mobile phones. For example, when my car's electronic speedometer shows 65 km/h, the GPS always shows 63 km/h. That is, when the speedometer shows 67-68 km/h, the actual speed will be 65 km/h on the GPS. The drivers who object to this actually know this very well. Then there's another thing: the car's speedometer measures speed based on the rotation of the wheel. In this case, the standard diameter of the tire installed at the factory is taken into account. Installing larger diameter disks and tires can increase the difference in the speedometer and actual speed by +5...+10 km/h. This is purely the driver's fault. No one has asked him to install a disk and tire of 18 instead of 15, or 21 instead of 17, right? Minus 10 discount: is it a speed allowance or caution? The error margin for radar speed detection is usually around 2-3 km/h. The -5 km/h deduction was based on that. It is unclear what the basis is for raising this error indicator to -10 km/h. Despite an advocate for potential "auto-terrorists" saying, "this is not a permit for drivers to exceed the speed limit by an additional 10 km/h in populated areas," personally, I consider this exactly a permit to drive faster. Such drivers, even if they are -10 km/h below the speed limit, will still get caught by the radar at 71 and complain to the government that "they are fined for just +1 km/h." However, they will actually be driving +11 km/h faster than allowed. Because they perceive it as "I have the right to drive up to 70 in a 60 zone." Their advocate also supports this: "Brother, you should drive 60 in a 60 zone, not 65, so you won't get caught by the radar!" He doesn't say! "You have the legal right to drive up to 65, if they speed up a bit or due to the error of the devices, they are getting caught at 66, so give them a flat 10." Tomorrow, they will demand not to be satisfied with just 10 km/h, but to give them 15 km/h as well. A middle ground for deputies Now, deputies have the option not just to deduct -10 km/h for the error margin, but also to approve a discount of 10 percent of the established speed limit. Then the speed: - In areas limited to 50 km/h, up to 55 km/h, - In areas limited to 60 km/h, up to 66 km/h, - In areas limited to 70 km/h, up to 77 km/h, - In areas limited to 100 km/h, up to 110 km/h will not incur fines. It seems to be a way that neither burns the six nor the kebab, in my opinion. Moreover, this method is used in some countries. For example, in England. Incorrect claim based on victim statistics Another point: auto-terrorists love to bring up the argument that "even though fines have increased and radars and cameras have been installed, the number of accidents and victims on the roads is not decreasing." In fact, the number of accidents and victims is decreasing, albeit slowly. However, when they say "decrease," they probably mean it doesn't drop to "zero." Unfortunately, with our driving culture, it won't reach "zero" anytime soon. This is clear. Therefore, speed limits should continue to be strictly enforced on the roads, especially in populated areas, without playing the drums for "flying" drivers. Below are the figures by year. (The figures are lower in 2020 due to pandemic restrictions). 2019: Number of accidents — 8092 Number of victims — 2094 2020: Number of accidents — 6982 Number of victims — 1962 2021: Number of accidents — 10001 Number of victims — 2426 2022: Number of accidents — 9902 Number of victims — 2356 2023: Number of accidents — 9839 Number of victims — 2282 2024: Number of accidents — 9364 Number of victims — 2203 Draw your own conclusions.

In modern society, fraudsters use various psychological methods to achieve their goals. According to Russian psychologist, Doctor of Psychology, Professor Vera Nikishina, five categories of people are most likely to fall into the trap of fraudsters. These categories are as follows: 1. The elderly – They are considered particularly vulnerable to fraudsters. This is because they are not familiar with modern technologies and methods of fraud. 2. People with low critical thinking – Such individuals struggle to analyze information and can easily trust any information. 3. Gullible individuals – Those who trust people a lot and accept every word they say as true. 4. People who are extremely tired – Those who have not rested for a long time or are in a state of mental and physical exhaustion maintain less vigilance. 5. Individuals who prioritize personal interests – Fraudsters often deceive people with offers based on self-interest. Main methods of fraud Today, fraudsters use strong emotions such as fear, surprise, misunderstanding, aggression, or anger to deceive people. The stronger these passions are, the more likely individuals are to fall into their trap. As Professor Nikishina emphasized, fraudsters base their scenarios on personal relationships. For example: For a mother – the safety of her child is important. For a child – avoiding being accused of wrongdoing is a priority. For elderly individuals – pension and financial matters are urgent. Ways to protect against fraud According to the psychologist's recommendation, the most effective way to protect against fraud is to maintain distance from strangers and be cautious in communication with them. Additionally, it is necessary to follow these recommendations: Limit conversations with unknown individuals – If an unfamiliar person approaches you with a specific task or offer, accept it with suspicion. Verify information from official sources – If someone introduces themselves as an official person, it is recommended to verify immediately through a trust hotline. Avoid strong emotional influence – When you feel fear or surprise, you should maintain vigilance and avoid making quick decisions. Do not disclose personal information over the phone – You should not give anyone your bank card numbers, passport numbers, or personal information. The best way to protect against fraud cases is to continuously develop critical thinking and be aware of various fraud schemes. This approach is crucial in protecting individuals from financial and psychological harm.

It is known that according to the decision No. 130 of the Cabinet of Ministers dated February 28, 2025, the procedure for the certification of teachers has been improved, as reported by the Education News website. According to the decision, starting from September 1, 2025, all teachers will be involved in certification test examinations every 5 years, and the practice of granting a lifelong qualification category will be abolished. However, until September 1, 2025, teachers who meet the following requirements will not be subject to mandatory certification, and they will continue to be paid according to their existing qualification category (position): – those who have continuously maintained a higher qualification category (senior teacher position) for 15 years; – those with 25 years or more of work experience in pedagogical activity; – those who have 5 years or less until reaching retirement age; – those who have reached retirement age and are continuing their pedagogical activity. Teachers who meet any of these criteria will be exempt from certification, and this requirement will not apply to them even after September 1. However, teachers who do not meet these criteria will still be required to undergo mandatory certification every 5 years, even if they later reach 15 years of experience or retirement age. According to the legislation, the norms that come into force after September 1, 2025, will only apply to situations occurring after that date. Additionally, teachers who meet the established criteria until September 1, 2025, will have their category officially renewed only after the qualification period expires and will be maintained for life.

– Rosa, I have been overwhelmed by family and household worries. I closed my eyes tightly and thought, should I go to some foreign country? I was suffering from lack of money and helplessness. I lost hope for living, – the 'girl' cried over the phone. – No, don’t do that, Gulim, I will solve your problems today. Just pull yourself together! – said Rahmon and transferred almost 152 million soums to the plastic card number sent by the 'girl' without any hesitation... Rahmon Umarov, a citizen of Gijduvan, had been in continuous phone communication with a girl who introduced herself as "Gulnoza Olimova" for 2-3 months. The girl, with her ringing voice and unique photos sent via the Telegram network, had captured his thoughts and feelings, even driving him almost crazy. She claimed to work at the International Navoi Airport and said she was living in a rented apartment in Navoi city. One day, the 'girl' called the young man, saying she couldn’t pay the rent and that the landlord was about to evict her, which stirred feelings of pity and compassion in Rahmon Umarov. She cried, asking him to urgently transfer money to her plastic cards. Rahmon Umarov transferred almost 152 million soums to the plastic cards sent by her without any objections. Not long after, Rahmon Umarov discovered that the girlfriend he had been communicating with for a long time was actually not a 'girl' but a 28-year-old man. He reported to law enforcement agencies about being deceived and falling into a scam. During the investigation and judicial proceedings, it was revealed that "Gulnoza Olimova" was not a girl but actually Farid Botirov from Kashkadarya. It was found that the guilty party could only return 25 million soums of the money obtained through fraud to its owner, having spent the rest for his own needs. “This criminal case, reviewed by the Korovulbozor District Court, applied Article 168 (Fraud) of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Uzbekistan against the perpetrator. The appellate instance of the Bukhara Regional Court also upheld the sentence given to the perpetrator without changes. Farid Botirov was sentenced to 5 years of imprisonment. He will serve his sentence in general regime colonies. The criminal received a punishment commensurate with his actions. However, we urge our citizens to be cautious when using social networks and not to trust various tricks and scams,” said Nozimjon Jo‘rayev, a judge of the Bukhara Regional Court.

A citizen born in 1977, previously convicted, living in the Sariosiyo district of Surkhandarya region was caught with 82 kg 478 gr of opium narcotic substance during an operation conducted by the National Security Service and the internal affairs authorities. This was reported by the State Security Service. According to the source, the detained individual was caught while hiding the substance left by Tajik drug couriers in a secret place in the Uzun district for 2000 dollars, in a non-residential building of a local farm. It was revealed that, in exchange for the service fee he received, he aimed to deliver the narcotic substance to a designated location based on the instructions of the Tajik drug dealer. Additionally, during a joint operation conducted by the National Security Service and the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the Kosonsoy district of Namangan region, a citizen born in 2001 was caught while placing synthetic narcotic substances in the form of a "stash". In another case, two individuals temporarily residing in Tashkent, born in 2001 and 2002 in the Kashkadarya region, were caught when they received 7 kg 313 gr of the synthetic cannabinoid analog "5-Fluro-ADB" through international postal shipments from Russia. It was reported that this narcotic substance was sent to Uzbekistan under a different product name in plastic containers.

In childhood, warnings like “Don’t say the name of the scorpion, or it will appear” were often heard. But does this insect really have the property of appearing when its name is mentioned? Although it is hard to believe, there are people who risk their lives by raising, feeding, and even pampering scorpions with sweet words. Gulbahor Samadova, a zookeeper working in the “Invertebrates” section of the Tashkent Zoo since 2017, provided information about insects that are commonly referred to as “nameless” in folk language. — The common Caucasian scorpion, which can grow up to 10 cm, can be found under stones and in damp places. It can also appear in old houses and gardens. Its venom affects people differently, depending on their immunity and health. The venom has a quicker effect on young children. In adults, pain is felt at the site of the sting, and it is necessary to take pain relief medication or get an injection immediately. If a person has underlying health conditions, scorpion venom can be even more dangerous and may lead to death. Scorpion venom affects adults and children differently. For an adult, a scorpion sting may result in severe pain, swelling, and slight weakness. However, the danger is much more serious for children! Their bodies are smaller and weaker, so the venom spreads throughout the body more quickly. As a result, rapid heartbeat, difficulty breathing, and even loss of consciousness can occur. In some cases, a scorpion sting can be fatal for children. Therefore, it is essential to seek medical attention immediately after a sting. — When a scorpion stings, to prevent the venom from spreading at home, first of all, the injured area should be tied with a medical bandage. It is necessary to squeeze out the venom as much as possible. Many people think that mud should be applied when stung by a scorpion. No, that is not possible. The reason is that the soil contains tiny worms, ants, and microbes. It is also not permissible to heat the injured area. You should apply the scorpion's own oil. If you have caught the scorpion, you can put plant oil in a jar and use that oil as an ointment, says the zookeeper. Photo: “Daryo” Scorpions generally prefer warm and dark places. They can hide in abandoned areas, basements, and even in the cracks of your home. If a scorpion enters your house, it is not by chance — it means there is a suitable environment for them. What should be done to prevent scorpions from entering the house? Sealing cracks, spraying special substances around the house, and maintaining hygiene are the most important measures. — To prevent scorpions from multiplying, it is possible to raise cockroaches at home. Cockroaches, ants, and other insects also feed on scorpions. It is important to pay more attention to cleanliness in the yard and to prevent small insects from being present on trees. The tree trunk should be regularly treated with lime. For example, the more ants there are, the more scorpions will come to eat them. Scorpions give birth to live young. Their babies are white and feed on a special fluid from their mother’s back. After a day or two, the babies are transferred to another aquarium, as the mother may eat them. Personally, I feed the scorpions with tweezers during the feeding process. They feed on small insects and ants. I can only hold them in my hand if I wear gloves, says Gulbahor Samadova. Photo: “Daryo” The venom of the scorpion, one of nature's most dangerous creatures, is not only a potent toxin but also a priceless resource for medicine. Scorpion venom, considered one of the most expensive liquids in the world, is used to treat cancer and neurological diseases. However, collecting it is very difficult. Thousands of scorpions must release venom to obtain just one gram. This is why its price can reach millions of dollars. According to reports, a special farm for breeding scorpions operates in the Fergana region. — When you see a scorpion, you should immediately catch it and put it in a jar or a similar container. If it is brought to the zoo, we will keep it. It cannot be killed due to its declining population, but there are animals that prey on them. Cockroaches or ants can eat scorpions. Scorpions can cling to clothes or objects, and their presence or movement may go unnoticed. However, there have been no instances where I have been stung or injured. Currently, there are few scorpions in the section, and once new specimens are brought in, we will breed them. In winter, scorpions become less active, and conditions are created for them in their special aquarium. They can live up to 11 years. The scorpion in the zoo has been living for five years, says the specialist.

The temptation of the soul leads a person to various immoral acts, ultimately pulling them into its trap. Especially, it is inexcusable to justify those who abuse their position while having a designated job. In the Asaka district, officials from two limited liability companies colluded to obtain project documents for drilling and repairing artesian wells using budget funds for the purpose of irrigating citizens' garden plots. Initially, although the first well was drilled, before the second well was completed, the well drilled by a local farming enterprise was falsified as newly drilled in the documents. Additionally, 120 million soums were embezzled through the misappropriation of budget funds. Regarding this situation, the Marhamat district court has imposed a corrective labor sentence on one of the offenders and a criminal fine on another. Currently, the Asaka district department of the Enforcement Bureau has ensured the collection of 30 million soums in criminal fines from the responsible person, which will be transferred to the state budget.

Navruz holiday is a season of goodness, generosity, and renewal. During these days, it is even more important to appreciate the hard work of teachers and ensure their rights. However, unfortunately, not all leaders understand this. Due to the negligence of the administration of the general education school in the Do‘stlik district, the teacher was forced to go to court to claim their rights. Based on the court's legal decision, justice was restored as a result of the strict measures taken by the Department of Mandatory Enforcement in the Do‘stlik district, and the teacher's salary of 115 million soums was recovered just before Navruz. It should not be forgotten that unpaid wages are not only a material loss for the employee but also a violation of their legal rights. The Mandatory Enforcement Bureau does not tolerate such situations and will take all measures within the law.
