software developer I think we have to help people with that problem by automation their day to day tasks, that are the most stressful and data bound.

A lot of people nowadays have to check their email box in order to get useful information. But it is really easy to miss something. I have developed a solution to get a specific data from an email. This may seem like a simple application, which serves as a search bar or a filtering system that is built into every email client nowadays. However, my app not only finds required messages, but extracts only data the user asked for, whilst collecting data from other sources and laying everything down to an easy-to-use table. This way of collecting data from the web is usually called web scrapping.

To start talking about technical details of the application some clarification of the terms connected with the development of such piece of software is required.

•Browser – application, that allows user to surf the net using graphic user interface.

•Headless browser – browser without any interface which is controlled by the program. The program makes the browser perform actions like normal user would do to get the data.

•Server – application, that sends requested information to a browser for it to display webpage for user.

•API – application programming interface (for example, anybody can send a request to a weather forecast server of Yandex and get data for free using a hand-written program).

•JavaScript (not to be confused with Java) – programming language that is used in websites to make them more interactive.

•SPA – single page application. Popular approach for web-design that does not require user to reload the page when displaying new data on website. The data is replaced via JavaScript program, that gets it from server and dictates to browser to draw it somewhere.

•Grabber – program, that performs web scrapping. This is rather slow in comparison with using dedicated APIs of data sources.

There are some drawbacks in doing such kind of data collection:

1.Websites change, and there is no guarantee that the application would not fail tomorrow.

2.Requires some trickery to fool web servers that want to ban such action on their websites.

3.Scrapping involves dealing with SPAs data updating. Program has to detect new data request, wait for it to load, and render on a page and only after that it can be collected.

As regards speed, it is still more practical to use web scrapping tools to collect any data from the web then doing it manually even if it is slower than using APIs. By the way most of the services do not provide any API. The only way to get data from them is to parse their website.

Core grabber is built with JavaScript, which commands headless Chromium based browser (Chromium is a browser engine used in most major browsers, such as Chrome and Edge). The headless browser pretends it is a real Chrome, renders the page, lets JavaScript perform its magic and grabs required data from the page.

After running the script, the console application start and web-page with the list of articles is generated. The screenshot of this web-page is shown in the Figure 1.

To sum up, in software is an inseparable part of our life and people must use it to make their work and leisure activities more pleasing and less stressful to do. What is more, by automation such routine tasks business owners can improve overall work quality as workers would be able concentrate on operations that require imagination and thinking other than monotonic data processing.

CREATION OF AN INFORMATION SITE FOR WEB DESIGNERS

Keywords: web design, web designer, information site, frontend, backend, web page, code, website design, courses, website development.

It’s quite difficult to imagine our life without electronic communications.

Getting information through electronic media is faster and easier.

The web browser contains information that is displayed as web pages. In order to arouse interest of users in information on web pages, it is necessary to pay attention to the page design. Many people consider high-quality web design to be the best advertisement for an Internet project, since it is not easy to draw users ' attention. Certainly, a lot depends on the skills of the web designer.

Currently, the profession of a web designer is very popular, as more and more users receive services via the Internet. The quality of these services depends on many factors, including design, dynamics of the page, end-user performance.

The problem is that it is difficult to find systematized information for the beginner level of training in the field of web design with the possibility of practical development of knowledge on one resource in the open access.

991

Therefore, the purpose of this work is to develop a model of an information site for the beginner level of training in the field of web design.

The proposed research will concentrate on the following tasks:

1)to collect information about the existing tools for development and design of the site;

2)to determine requirements for the site;

3)to systematize the studied information;

4)to define the site content;

5)to create the layout and structure of the site;

6)to create IDEF0 -, DFD-diagrams and ER-model of the database;

7)to determine the programming languages and software tools for the site development;

8)to develop a website using the modern Vue framework.js, which will fulfill the following functions:

−viewing reference information;

−executing js code (with the ability to connect additional libraries);

−executing css rules;

−displaying html markup;

−opportunity to take advantage of courses to improve knowledge and skills.

As a result of the research, we developed a model of an information site for the initial level of training in the field of web design (Figs.1-2).

RICH HISTORY OF BURMISTROVA’S MANSION IN NIZHNY

NOVGOROD

The research entitled “Rich history of Burmistrova’s mansion in Nizhny Novgorod” is devoted to the study of the history of the building.

The relevance of the work is great as the mansion is one of the most beautiful constructions in Nizhny Novgorod and it is worth paying attention. It is important to consider the history because it is the epitome of beauty. It serves as the most vital evidence in our modern world to figure out why the past should be valued and preserved for the next generations. The object of the research is Burmistrova’s mansion in Nizhny Novgorod.

Nizhny Novgorod used to be a mercantile city, thus, merchants often invested in the construction of buildings that later were of great importance in the history and culture of the city.

One of the most magnificent and famous houses in Nizhny Novgorod was the house of the merchant V.M. Burmistrova in Zhukovskaya Street (Minin Street, 26). It was constructed in 1882 by a renowned St.-Petersburg architect N.D. Grigoriev. The style of academic eclecticism was chosen, motifs of Russian Baroque and elements of Russian Classicism were used. Not only was a house

993

project created by Grigoriev, but also artistic and ornamental solutions for interiors (carved wood, artificial marble, paintings and drapery with colored fabrics). In 1884-1887, the house was entirely rebuilt and acquired modern overall size and decor. At the same time, a stone two-storey administration building was constructed in the courtyard of the estate, which had been passed along to the Mariinsky Women's Institute by 1915. Unfortunately, it has not survived to this day; now the place is occupied by the cafeteria of Nizhny Novgorod Politechnic University. Later, another wing and greenhouses were added to the estate, which also did not survive. On the side of Zhukovskaya Street there was a front entrance with a canopy on cast-iron pillars and a letter "B" woven into a baroque cartouche above it; and in the direction of the slope there were two bay windows with mascarons and four female profiles in round frames above the windows of the second floor.

There was a garden overlooking the Volga, and three greenhouses. The garden was an object of pride and love for Varvara Mikhailovna. It had a fountain, gazebos, grotto, marble staircase and sculptures, and had several flower and fruit greenhouses. Exotic plants grew in the garden: palms, banana trees, shrubby pears and cherries. The residents of Nizhny Novgorod said that the Burmistrovs employed an accomplished and educated gardener who received such a high salary that many city officials envied him.

The owner of the house V.M. Burmistrova was the wife of the merchant D.M. Burmistrov and the daughter of the merchant M.G. Rukavishnikov, the main steel producer on the Volga, called the "iron old man". After getting married, she invested part of the money from her father's inheritance in the construction of her own house.

Varvara Mikhailovna was born in 1851 in the family of a wealthy merchant Mikhail Grigorievich Rukavishnikov. Later she married the merchant of the 1st guild, Dmitry Mikhailovich Burmistrov, who was engaged in commercial and social activities. He was a member of the city council, a member of the board of trustees of the Mariinsky women's gymnasium, an honorary member of the Nizhny Novgorod provincial guardianship of orphanages. Varvara Mikhailovna helped her husband in everything. The Burmistrovs did not have their own children; perhaps that is why they gave all their unspent parental love to other people's children.

The Burmistrovs were known as generous patrons in the city. Their portraits, as well as information about their social activities must be found in the book "Charitable Institutions of Russia", which is a confirmation of public recognition and gratitude for their significant funding for the city's needs. Varvara Mikhailovna donated money to the children's hospital, was the trustee of the House of Industriousness, founded by her family. For her social activities she received the title of an honorary citizen of Nizhny Novgorod.

994

In 1903, D. M. Burmistrov died. Varvara Mikhailovna inherited her husband's capital, living on income from real estate and interest-bearing securities, but charity remained the center of her attention.

Varvara Mikhailovna has repeatedly participated in the financing of educational institutions in Nizhny Novgorod. So, in 1916, after the death of her husband, she contributed 50,000 rubles for the arrangement of the Warsaw Polytechnic Institute (now Nizhny Novgorod State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering), which was transferred to Nizhny Novgorod.

In 1918, the house was nationalized and given over to the city museum. Varvara Mikhailovna, being a member of the Committee of the Nizhny Novgorod City Art and History Museum, voluntarily surrendered her house, expressing full agreement with this decision (Pic.1). The house for artistic decoration was one of the best in the city. The museum was given 88 square meters of space. Varvara Mikhailovna conceded to the museum not only part of her house, but also transferred many valuable things to its property, including collections of bronze and porcelain, as well as marble busts of the Russian emperors Peter I, Alexander I, and Paul I. Varvara Mikhailovna was given one room to live in her house. V.M.Burmistrova died in the early 30s of the last century. In the last years of her life she lived alone, in poverty.

For about twenty years, various institutions were located in her house: an art and history museum, a school for gifted children, Komvuz, Higher Agricultural Courses, a hostel for workers of the Gorky Party School. In 1934, the building was transferred to the Literary Museum. A .M. Gorky, and in one of the halls of the house there was the Gorky Writers' Organization. During the Great Patriotic War, the museum was evacuated and a hospital was located in the building. Only in 1946 the museum returned to its native walls and opened its doors to visitors. Throughout its history, the building has undergone many changes: its owners, life, appearance changed. Unfortunately, it used to be an adornment of the city, an excellent example of a rich ceremonial mansion of the end of the 19th century of

995

the eclectic period with exquisite varied decor of facades and interiors (Pic.2) because of the fire that broke out in summer 2020 (Pic.3).

In conclusion it is important to emphasize that the Burmisnrova’s mansion is one of the most fascinating buildings in Nizhny Novgorod. It is the current generation’s responsibility to leave it for the next generations.

ASIAN HAMSTERS ARE THE MOST ADORABLE PETS

The research entitled “Asian hamsters are the most adorable pets” is dedicated to the study of advantages of having an Asian hamster as a pet.

The work is relevant as when a person is thinking about getting a pet hamster for himself or a child it is important to know how to choose one, what supplies are needed, and how to feed and care for a new pet. Hamsters are typically lowmaintenance pets but proper care is essential to keeping it happy and healthy.

996

One of the most popular small pets, especially for children, are Asian hamsters. Solitary in nature, easily looked after and supremely easy-to-handle it is little wonder that Asian hamsters have become so popular.

Asian hamsters are popular pets for children and adults alike. They are small rodents that typically live about two years. Asian hamsters are actually several tiny species of hamsters that are native primarily to desert regions around the world. These social little creatures differ from their larger, more territorial cousins, thriving in pairs or small groups as opposed to living alone. As pets, they are generally docile and easy to handle, as well as fun to watch as they tunnel and romp around in their enclosure. They're also simple to care for, requiring a fairly straightforward diet and regular cage cleaning.

There are some advantages which are worth attention. The first real benefit of hamsters as pets is they’re very simple to look after. With hamsters having been a core part of the pet trade for years, there is now a wide assortment of specialist equipment to make their care simple. There are, for example, bags of dry hamster food, toys that have been tested for safety and secure cages in which to keep your hamster. Consequently, nothing about caring for hamsters should be considered difficult to master.

The second plus to hamsters as pets is that they are very clean animals. Most hamsters will quickly get into the habit of using just one corner of their cage as a latrine. The rest of the cage will be kept spotlessly clean. As a result of this habit, cleaning hamsters also becomes easy. One can “spot clean” just the toilet corner on a regular basis (simply scoop the area out with a trowel or dustpan) and then replace the removed bedding. A full clean is therefore necessary far less often. Furthermore, for those with sensitive noses, a properly cared-for hamster is unlikely to produce unpleasant smells, making them ideal for the home.

From a child’s perspective, another benefit of hamsters is their cheek pouches, which can make them absolutely fascinating to watch. Fill up the food bowl and watch your hamster busily trying to cram as much as possible into its pouches before stumbling back to its bed and depositing the food into a secret place.

Lastly, the fact that hamsters are aggressive towards one another is also, somewhat oddly, a benefit. When keeping many small mammals such as gerbils or mice it is kindest to keep two or more together for company. With hamsters, however, the situation is altogether different. While they will live together as youngsters, after a few months bloody battles can break out. As a result, it is best to keep hamsters alone. This makes for cheaper setup costs and more modestsized cages.

In conclusion it is important to state that Asian hamsters can make enjoyable and low-maintenance pets for any person when approached in the correct manner.

THE HISTORY OF ARCHITECTURE

The article analyses the history of architecture. It identifies the main periods of the development of architecture, summarizes the main features of architecture of those periods and presents the most outstanding examples of them.

The known history of architecture starts about 5000-4000 years ago. Mengirs (individual stones) are the most amazing examples of it.

One stone is enough for an architectural work to be born; it is only necessary that there were no doubt about the man-made nature of what happened in the end. Such single stone structures do exist, and perhaps they are the most ancient architectural monuments of the planet. These are mengirs - multiton blocks cut down in rocks or found already decorated by nature itself. The ancient people, gathered together, took them to the appointed place with a fiber and put them vertically by hand. Perhaps the ancient gods, to whom, in fact, this fantastic work was dedicated, were satisfied - the weight of the stone itself demonstrated the sincerity of prayers.

Another remarkable example of ancient architecture (around 4000 BC) is the rack and beam system. It is the simplest architectural structure known since the Neolithic era. From ancient times to the present day it has been used in all buildings covered by a flat or gable roof. In the past, wooden or stone beams were laid on pillars of the same material - today, instead of natural stone, metal and reinforced concrete are used.

Our next example dates back to 2500 BC. It is the Start Column Design. Ancient Egyptian architects remained faithful to the rack-beam system, but

gave meaning to architectural forms. Columns in their temples began to depict a palm tree, lotus or papyrus ligament. These stone "thickets" tell about the afterlife through which the souls of the dead must make their way to a new life. So architecture became fine art. Later they began to make a huge sculpture from architecture in the Mesopotamia. However, they preferred to wow bulls, griffins and other creatures of the animal world.

Greece in around 700 BC had already superbly developed architecture.

998

The Greeks made the theme of architecture a story about the work of its structures. From that moment, the supports of the rack and beam system not only adorn the building, but also show that they support something and that it is difficult for them. They ask for the sympathy of the audience, convincingly imitate the structure and proportions of the human figure - male, female or girls. A strictly logical system of supporting and supported elements is called a warrant. Usually there are three main orders - Doric, Ionic and Corinthian - and two additional - Tuscan and composite. This is the moment of birth of European architecture.

Arched structures were used since about 70 BC. The Romans are beginning to widely use arches and arched structures (arches and domes). A horizontal beam may crack if it is too long; wedge-shaped parts in an arched arc do not break under load and it is not easy to destroy the stone with pressure. Therefore, arch structures can cover much larger spaces and load them much bolder. At the same time, having mastered the arch, the architects of Rome did not begin to compose a new architectural language, they adopted ancient Greek. The rack and beam system (the columns and the elements supported by them) remained on the facades, but in Rome it often did not work, only decorated the building. Thus, the Romans made the warrant a decor.

The next step in the development of architecture dates back to 318. Early Christian architects returned to wooden rafters.

The fall of the Western Roman Empire has brought down the economy of what we call today Western Europe. Funds for the construction of stone floors were not enough, although there was a need for large buildings, primarily in temples. Therefore, the Byzantine builders had to return to the tree, and with it to the rack and beam system. Rafters were made from wood - structures under the roof, where part of the elements (braces) according to the laws of geometry works on breaking or compression.

532 was marked by the beginning of the use of the Byzantine architects dome on sails.

The technological breakthrough of Byzantine architecture is the staging of the dome invented in ancient Rome not on round walls closing the interior, but on four arches, respectively, with only four points of support. Between the arches and the dome ring, biconcave triangles were formed - sails. (The churches most often depict the evangelists Matthew, Luke, Mark and John - the four pillars of the church.) In particular, thanks to this design, Orthodox churches have the usual appearance for us.

In 1030 roman architects returned to the construction of arches in the architecture of romance.

By the beginning of the second millennium of our era, powerful empires began to form in Europe, and each considered herself the heiress of Rome. The traditions of Roman architecture were also revived. Majestic Romanesque
