Photo: The Verge Microsoft will end support for Windows 10 on October 14, 2025. That marks more than 10 years since the operating system was first introduced. This is the first time Microsoft has officially confirmed the end of support for Windows 10. Microsoft keeps giving hints about Windows 11 Microsoft has made many hints that it is ready to launch Windows 11. The software giant is holding a special Windows event to reveal the “next generation” of this operating system next week. The event started at 11 a.m. ET or around 10 p.m. the same day in Vietnam. Microsoft executives have also been making announcements about the “next generation of Windows” for months, and one CEO even described it as a “new version of Windows” recently. Microsoft also introduced Windows 11 in an 11-minute video last week. Many users expect Microsoft to announce a new version of Windows with significant user interface changes and an overhaul to the Windows Store. Microsoft has been working on a new code called “Sun Valley”, perhaps this is a new version of the operating system that the company has called “a complete visual rejuvenation of Windows”. Microsoft originally scheduled the end of support for Windows 10 to be October 13, 2020. However, Microsoft said this is the period when the company does not add new features to the operating system and only maintains support with those. bug fixes and security patches. Windows 10 is an unusual version of the operating system for Microsoft because it has fallen outside the cycle of releasing new operating system versions every few years like other companies. Instead, Microsoft has been updating Windows 10 continuously twice a year with new features. Microsoft used to call Windows 10 the “final version of Windows,” but it’s been almost six years since its release and Microsoft seems ready to move on to something new.

Framatome sent a warning letter to the US government. In the letter, Framatome asked for the support of the US Department of Energy, according to CNN. Framatome is the company that helped build and provide technical support for the Taishan nuclear plant, located about 130 km west of Hong Kong. CNN added that Washington must “hold a number of high-level meetings and discussions with Paris after receiving the letter”. At the same time, the US and Chinese authorities also “contacted to discuss the matter”. Even so, US officials do not believe the situation poses a serious safety threat to residents or workers at the plant. Framatome (France) warned of an “imminent radiation threat” at the Taishan nuclear plant in Guangdong province. Photo: Power-Technology China General Nuclear Power Corporation (CGN) later announced on Taishan’s website: “Taishan’s Unit 1 is operating normally and Unit 2 was reconnected to the grid last week. before and after the overhaul”. These units have a total capacity of 3.3 gigawatts and entered service in 2018 and 2019, respectively. CGN owns a 51% stake in the Taishan joint venture. Framatome’s parent company, Electricite de France SA (EDF), holds a 30% stake, with the rest belonging to Yuedian Utilities (China) in Guangdong province. Framatome claims it is “assisting in resolving the performance issue related to the Taishan nuclear power plant”, while citing available data showing that “the plant is still operating within safe parameters”. The EDF on June 14 confirmed that there was an “increase in the concentration of noble gases” in the cooling system of the Taishan plant. “The presence of some noble gases (chemically inert elements such as argon, helium or neon) is a phenomenon that has been observed during reactor operation,” the EDF said. The information was published at a time when the province of Guangdong, China’s industrial center, suffered a power shortage, forcing more than 20 cities to split electricity to a number of companies and factories. China is the world’s third-largest nuclear power market, after the US and France, with many new reactors under construction. The country has not recorded any serious nuclear accidents.

Medical staff treat COVID-19 patients at a hospital in Riga, Latvia. Photo: THX/VNA The report also highlights the importance of “overhauling” the global alarm system to prevent a similar disaster from happening again. Report “COVID-19: Making it the Last Pandemic” produced by the Independent Committee on COVID-19 Pandemic Preparedness and Response (IPPR) at the request of World Health Organization member countries. world (WHO). As policymakers make a series of ineffective decisions, the report says, adding to the scale and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, the pandemic has killed at least 3.3 million people so far, while the global economy has been devastated. According to the IPPR, institutions “failed to protect the people” while leaders denying scientific data has eroded public confidence in health interventions. The lack of urgency in the early response to the COVID-19 outbreak detected in Wuhan, China in December 2019 led to unfortunate consequences, when February 2020 became the “lost month”. cool” seriously in the context that the alarm situation has not been paid enough attention by countries. IPPR also said that WHO could have declared a global public health emergency (PHEIC), the highest alert level, on January 22, 2020. Instead, it took the organization eight days to do this. Then, only in March 2020 after WHO recognized COVID-19 as a pandemic, did countries realize the danger of the situation and really “get involved”. Ineffective strategic choices, unwillingness to address inequality issues, and “disparity” in coordination within a country or between countries have created a “toxic formula” that creates favorable conditions. for the COVID-19 pandemic to turn into “a catastrophic human crisis”. The threat of a pandemic has been ignored and countries are struggling to deal with its consequences. In order to reverse the current pandemic, IPPR recommends that the world’s richest countries from now until September 1 share 1 billion doses of vaccine to the 92 poorest countries through a mechanism of equitable access to COVID-19 vaccines called COVID-19 vaccine. WHO-initiated COVAX and more than 2 billion doses of vaccine by mid-2022. IPPR calls on the world’s leading industrialized countries (G7) to pay 60% of the $19 billion needed to fund vaccine development, development diagnostic and therapeutic approaches through the WHO-led “Accelerated Access to COVID-19 Response Tools” global collaboration to distribute COVID-19 vaccines and therapeutics to countries poorer. Health workers give people a COVID-19 vaccine in Essen, Germany. Photo: THX/VNA According to the committee, the group of the world’s leading developed and emerging economies (G20) and others need to support the rest. The WHO and the World Trade Organization (WTO) themselves also need to encourage countries and vaccine manufacturers to voluntarily agree to license and transfer technology to produce vaccines against COVID-19. To address future outbreaks and pandemics, the IPPR calls for the creation of a Global Health Threat Response Council made up of world leaders, as well as a convention on pandemics. Translate. The G20 should also set up an international pandemic response financing mechanism, whereby $5-10 billion can be spent per year on ensuring epidemic preparedness capacity, as well as ensuring readiness to mobilize $50 billion to $100 billion in the event of a crisis. Speaking at the event to announce the report, WHO Director-General Tedros Gebreyesus said the organization will join 194 members to discuss the above recommendations as well as the opinions of other expert groups, aiming to “construct” Stronger WHO, for a healthier, safer and fairer future for all of us.”

However, this MBT, right from the signing of the purchase contract, has continuously encountered problems, the first is the translation of technical documents discovered by a third party with a salary of up to 200 million Zloty (equivalent to VND 200 million). $2.6 million), an “exorbitant” price. But the overhead is nothing compared to the money these Leopard 2PLs have taken from the Polish defense budget. It should be recalled that in 2002, Warsaw signed a contract to buy 128 Leopard 2A4s from the German Army, the above MBTs are 25 – 27 years old and the technical condition is assessed quite well. Poland believes that the above-mentioned tanks have only worn 25-30% and can be used normally for at least 10 more years, but from the time they received the tanks until the overhaul in 2011, they just been on the payroll for more than 5 years. In addition to the components with high wear and tear such as the gun barrel, the transmission system, during the overhaul, Poland discovered many problems such as the thermal imager of the gunner and the commander and many components of the system. Fire control is almost out of service. The irony is that these devices have long been out of production, so the Polish Army decided to comprehensively upgrade the Leopard 2A4 tanks to the Leopard 2PL standard. The main battle tank Leopard 2PL of the Polish Army The upgrade package focuses on the viewfinder, front armor, bodywork and undercarriage. However, the addition of steel plates to the chassis to prevent mines was removed because it would increase the weight to 59.5 tons equivalent to Leopard 2A5, which required reinforcement of the suspension system, leading to an increase in costs. The upgrade package also requires replacing the hydraulic cannon stabilization system with electricity, reducing the possibility of the vehicle burning when the vehicle is hit, adding a reversing camera and an auxiliary electric motor. There is also an expansion pack, which includes upgraded communication equipment, integrated remote control machine gun turret, air conditioning for the crew, heatsink for the electronics. The general requirement is that the cost of the Leopard 2PL after the upgrade is only half that of the Leopard 2A6. After many biddings, finally the contract to upgrade 128 Leoaprd 2A4 vehicles was signed in 2015, the main contractor is a Polish company with a German partner, the deadline for completing the work is in 2020. The upgrade contract value is up to 575 million USD, which calculates that each tank requires 4.5 million USD in modernization money, not to mention the initial purchase cost, which is more expensive than the production T-90M Proryv-3 Brand new from Russia.
