Macierewicz: manewry Zapad-2017 mają wybitnie agresywny charakter

0

Ćwiczenia Zapad mają wybitnie ofensywny, agresywny charakter i są przygotowane tak, żeby móc ewentualnie bezpośrednio z ćwiczeń przejść do działań bojowych – ocenił szef MON Antoni Macierewicz.
Macierewicz w TV Republika był pytany o rozpoczęte w czwartek manewry Zapad 2017, które odbywają się na Białorusi, Morzu Bałtyckim, na zachodzie Rosji i w obwodzie kaliningradzkim.
– Rosja przygotowuje się do działań, które obejmują całą flankę wschodnią NATO, choć ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem ataku na Litwę, Ukrainę i Polskę, ale także rozszerza swoje działania na Morze Śródziemne. Jeżeli chodzi o okręty podwodne, to przewiduje także wejście na ten akwen – podkreślił szef MON.
– To są rzeczywiście największe ćwiczenia od wielu lat. Nie wiem, czy nie największe w ogóle, jakie Rosja przeprowadza na naszej flance wschodniej, mające wybitnie ofensywny, agresywny charakter i przygotowane tak, żeby móc ewentualnie bezpośrednio z ćwiczeń przejść do działań bojowych – powiedział Macierewicz. – Ja nie sądzę, by mogło do czegoś takiego dojść, nic na to nie wskazuje, ale taka jest struktura tego działania – dodał minister.

W jego ocenie chodzi o wywarcie psychologicznego efektu zastraszenia na zachodnich elitach. W tym kontekście zwrócił uwagę, że niebawem w Niemczech odbędą się wybory parlamentarne. „Niemcy są od wielu dziesiątków lat głównym obiektem presji rosyjskiej, bo zdobycie przychylności, aprobaty Niemiec de facto zmienia całą strukturę europejską“ – powiedział.
– Ale z drugiej strony te ćwiczenia sprawiają, że armia rosyjska będzie miała takie zdolności – podkreślił szef MON. – Aspektem istotnym jest dążenie do tego, by posiadać siłę zbrojną gotową do realnego działania. Tego Rosjanie nie ukrywają, wręcz eksponują ten element quasi potęgi, quasi siły – zaznaczył.
Macierewicz zauważył, że w zestawieniu możliwościami NATO to są siły niewystarczające do skutecznego zaatakowania. Może to jednak wykorzystać – jak dowodził – do zrobienia wrażenia na niedoświadczonych politykach bądź takich politykach, którzy chcą wykorzystać ten element presji do swojej gry wewnętrznej – jak to się w jego ocenie dzieje w Niemczech.
Tak wyglądały ćwiczenia na poligonie Różańskim:
Manewry, które budzą niepokój NATO i krajów sąsiadujących z Rosją i Białorusią, mają zakończyć się 20 września. Oficjalnie bierze w nich udział 12,7 tys. żołnierzy sił zbrojnych Rosji i Białorusi. Kraje NATO wyrażały obawę, iż w rzeczywistości liczebność zaangażowanych sił będzie o wiele wyższa i może nawet przekroczyć 100 tys.

Mixed Reality head honcho Alex Kipman will be there to elaborate on and show off the “final Windows Mixed Reality experience coming this holiday to Windows 10 PCs”. The company will likely show off virtual reality headsets from its partners, but don’t get your hopes up for a new HoloLens; The Verge reports the company isn’t expected to show off a new model at the event.

We went hands-on with a pre-production version of the Wndows 10 Mixed Reality experience, and there’s a lot to like.

Trump Slams UN Bureaucracy, Mismanagement, Urges to Enact ‘Bold Reform’

0

UN should keep “eye toward changing business as usual UN should keep “eye toward changing business as usual“ and not be „beholden to ways of the past…,“ Trump said.
The United Nations must reform its culture of “bureaucracy and mismanagement” to better serve the world, President Donald Trump urged Monday.
Speaking at the UN building in New York, Trump called on the 72-year-old globalist institution to “be better at development, management, peace and security.”
“[I]n recent years, the United Nations has not reached its full potential because of bureaucracy and mismanagement,” Trump imparted.
“While the United Nations on a regular budget has increased by 140 percent, and its staff has more than doubled since 2000, we are not seeing the results in line with this investment.”
Trump said the organization must work to rebuild “the trust of the people around the world,” and should ensure nations pay their fair share.
“To honor the people of our nations, we must ensure that no one and no member state shoulders a disproportionate share of the burden, and that’s militarily or financially,” Trump said.
Additionally, “peacekeeping” objectives should be “clearly defined,” the president indicated, including ironing out metrics which help evaluate success.
The president also called on Secretary General Ban Ki Moon to “cut through bureacuracy, reform outdated systems, and make firm decisions to advance the UN’s core mission,” and encouraged the UN to keep “an eye toward changing business as usual and not being beholden to ways of the past which were not working.”
In the past, the UN has been criticized for, among other things, ignoring accusations of child sex rings and child rape lodged at UN peacekeepers working in Haiti, Africa, Brazil and other parts of the world, while no arrests have taken place .

Emmy Awards draw 11.4 million viewers to CBS telecast, even with last year

0

Ratings for the Emmys have been on a downward slide since 2013.
The CBS telecast of the 69th Emmy Awards was watched by about 11.4 million viewers on Sunday, roughly equaling last year’s audience level, which hit an all-time low.
The good news for CBS is the number did not decline from 2016, when the broadcast aired on ABC. Ratings for the Emmys have been on a downward slide since the 2013 telecast hosted by Neil Patrick Harris on CBS, which was watched by 17.7 million viewers, according to Nielsen data.
Audience levels for all live awards shows have slipped in recent years, as a growing number of younger viewers prefer to watch clips of them online or live online streams of the broadcasts. The Emmy Awards were available to subscribers of CBS All Access, the streaming service that carries the network’s programming. No data was available on how many people watched the CBS stream.
But the sluggish ratings for the Emmys is also likely to raise the question as to whether the ceremony is putting off some viewers because it has become too political. The show was packed with barbs against President Trump by host Stephen Colbert and Emmy winner Alec Baldwin. There were also earnest speeches stating opposition to his administration.
The Emmy Awards is also suffering from the same challenge facing the Oscars, which rarely recognizes big box office hits. Television’s highest honor now celebrates programs on streaming services that are not as widely known as the biggest hits on cable and broadcast network TV.
For example, NBC’s “This Is Us,” the breakout hit of last season, only earned one award — Sterling K. Brown for best actor in a drama series. Broadcast networks ABC, CBS and PBS had no winners and scant representation among the nominees recognized on the broadcast.
“The Handmaid’s Tale,” available only on the streaming service Hulu, was the winner of the best drama award. It was the first time a series from a streaming service was honored in the top category.
HBO won the most honors of the night with 10, thanks to its movie star-studded limited series “Big Little Lies.”
Streaming services were aware of the major exposure they get on the Emmy Awards. Both Netflix and Hulu advertised in the program.
The Emmy Awards telecast had its highest rating in West Palm Beach, Fla., where it averaged a 12.3 rating. It scored a 12.2 rating in New York and a 9.0 rating in Los Angeles. A rating point represents a percentage of the TV households tuned in.

‘Dancing With The Stars’ Winners — Photos Of All 24 Mirrorball Champs – Hollywood Life

0

Season 25 is finally here, so do you remember all of the past winners? Here’s a full gallery!
In 2005, the world was introduced to Dancing with the Stars; the first season only featured six celebs, and soap star Kelly Monaco took home to mirrorball with pro Alec Mazo. Then there was season two, which actually featured the brother of one of the contestants on this season! Drew Lachey took home the W season two, with pro partner, Cheryl Burke. Cheryl actually went on to also win season three with Emmitt Smith. See all the winners from seasons one to 24 here!
Over the next few seasons, ABC brought in quite the range of celebs — from Kim Kardashian and Rob Kardashian to Ricky Martin and Jack Osbourne. But only 24 celebs took home the W. The most recent winner was Rashad Jennings, who gave pro Emma Slater her first-ever mirror ball.
As for what it takes to win, many feel there’s an advantage if you have a background in dancing — but that’s really not the case. Pro Lindsay Arnold recently spoke with HollywoodLife.com, explaining that in season 24, she danced with MLB-pro, David Ross, and the couple came in second — up against a bunch of celebrities with past experience dancing. “Even by the end, he was not still not even close to being the strongest dancer in the competition,” Lindsay told us. “Dance experience does not matter. It’s genuinely about having a great time, enjoying yourself and getting better week after week.”
HollywoodLifers, who are you rooting for this season? Refresh yourself on the full cast list here, then tune into Dancing with the Stars every Monday at 8PM ET on ABC, starting September 18!

Buying a VPN? Here are 7 things to look for

0

We consider the major deciding factors in terms of picking the best VPN for your needs.
Choosing a VPN is like shopping for any other service: you’ve got to weigh up the features on offer – and the ones you’re likely to use – against the price of the subscription.
While on the face of it this is no different from pricing and selecting any other subscription product, what makes things more challenging in terms of VPNs is the number of differentiating features – and the fact that novices may not even be aware of what to look for in terms of features.
Also, it doesn’t help that many VPN websites run with very flashy designs, but are often short on the details of the spec and service. By spelling everything out in simple terms, this article will point you in the right direction in terms of getting the best VPN for your needs at an affordable price.
Remember that a VPN works by creating an encrypted data tunnel between the user and the provider’s server. While we think about the VPN as having ‘a server’, the reality is that any VPN will need to have many servers to handle all of this traffic, and to allow many users to connect.
Better VPN services will state how many servers they have. For example, NordVPN says that it has just over 1,000 servers. A larger number of servers means that the user should get more bandwidth and therefore faster speeds when connected to the VPN.
You’ve more than likely heard the phrase ‘location, location, location’ when it comes to real estate, which hammers home the importance of the area in which you buy a house. Well, the location of your VPN server is equally important when it comes to your internet connection.
On the one hand, having a VPN server located nearby can be advantageous for a no-lag, responsive connection, which is very useful when partaking of activities such as online gaming .
Alternatively, a VPN server in another country can be an asset to overcome geo-blocking restrictions, as the user appears to be in the same country as the server and can thus access otherwise blocked content. This is how some users access the US version of Netflix from the UK, for example.
Internet usage is all based on the transmitting and receiving of data. While many ISPs still have unlimited data plans, it is not so simple when looking at a VPN service. Some VPN plans offer a free tier and a paid tier. Of those that offer a free plan, the major restriction is that it offers a limited amount of data for the month, in the hope that the user will try the service out, use up the data in less than a month, and therefore decide to make the move to become a paid subscriber.
One VPN, Windscribe, takes this approach with its free tier, but offers a generous 10GB of data for each month – far more than some rivals which might only give you 1GB (or even less).
Once users understand the benefits of a VPN, they generally want to connect multiple devices to it simultaneously. But almost all VPN services have a cap on the amount of devices (PCs, phones or tablets) you can connect, which in some cases is dependent on the exact plan (tier) you subscribe to.
For example, VyprVPN offers a lower tier that has unlimited data, but limits the user to three simultaneously connected devices. There is also a higher, more expensive tier from the same provider that allows for up to five devices. Some VPNs will allow an unlimited number of devices – for example Windscribe’s paid plan – but this is the exception rather than the rule.
Just about every VPN will support a Windows PC with native software, and most major providers also have native clients for Mac, iOS and Android devices. These days, though, we use more devices than ever, and some VPNs facilitate set up on a router to get the service across your entire home network (and all the hardware connected to it).
As well as routers, some providers support Linux, and indeed offer browser extensions for the likes of Chrome and Firefox. VyprVPN has a particularly expansive list of supported devices, including less popular devices such as the Blackphone, QNAP NAS (network attached storage), Anonabox and Boxee box.
So when picking a VPN, be sure to examine the list of devices it supports, and ensure that your requirements in this department are met.
Despite the allure and promise of complete anonymity online, the fact is that all VPN services do log and keep some user data for a certain period of time. They will also turn this data over following lawful requests by government authorities, as they have no desire to become a ‘partner in crime’ with someone who is breaking the law.
Different VPNs have different policies on what data they keep. As the user has an account with them, the VPN service at a minimum has login info and an email address. Some VPN services will keep a log of user activities for a given time period, while other services such as ExpressVPN claim to not keep any logs at all. It’s well worth checking out the provider’s privacy policy to ascertain exactly what sort of logs are maintained.
Pricing is one of the most significant differences between VPN services, with some providers offering free plans, and others being relatively expensive. One point worth bearing in mind is that if you try a service on a monthly plan and find you like it, consider a longer-term subscription which will doubtless be considerably discounted.
Some VPNs even offer lifetime subscriptions, such as KeepSolid VPN Unlimited which will give you access for the rest of your days for the price of $150 (£110) – assuming the company doesn’t go out of business, of course. Still, with a longer-term commitment, there’s certainly the opportunity for making some serious savings.

Gowin: Prezesowi Kaczyńskiemu podobają się założenia Ustawy 2.0

0

Szef resortu nauki Jarosław Gowin przyznał, że przedstawił założenia nowej ustawy o szkolnictwie wyższym i nauce prezesowi PiS Jarosławowi Kaczyńskiemu. „Mogę powiedzieć z satysfakcją, że podobały mu się” – zadeklarował minister nauki.
Prezentacja projektu nowej ustawy o szkolnictwie wyższym i nauce będzie głównym punktem rozpoczynającego się we wtorek w Krakowie Narodowego Kongresu Nauki. Na dwudniowe spotkanie, które organizuje resort nauki, zarejestrowało się ok. 3 tys. uczestników. Założenia ustawy zaprezentuje na rozpoczęcie spotkania wicepremier, minister nauki i szkolnictwa wyższego Jarosław Gowin.
Gowin był pytany w Popołudniowej rozmowie RMF FM, czy nowa ustawa, tzw. Ustawa 2.0, była konsultowana z prezesem PiS Jarosławem Kaczyńskim i „ma zielone światło”, jeśli chodzi o prace w parlamencie.
„Nie ukrywam, że przedstawiałem panu prezesowi Kaczyńskiemu założenia tej ustawy, nawet takie bardzo szczegółowe rozwiązania, i generalnie rzecz biorąc mogę powiedzieć z satysfakcją, że podobały mu się” – odpowiedział minister nauki i szkolnictwa wyższego.
Jak wyjaśnił nie chciał „stawiać prezesa Kaczyńskiego przed faktem dokonanym”, bo „zawsze nasze zaplecze parlamentarne ma suwerenne prawo do oceny projektów rządowych“.
Jak podkreślał na antenie RMF FM Gowin, celem reformy jest przede wszystkim zdecydowane podniesienie poziomu kształcenia i badań naukowych oraz zwiększenie autonomii uczelni .
Szef resortu nauki dodał, że celem Ustawy 2.0 nie jest ograniczenie demokracji na uczelniach.
