History and future

Looking back at history, Vietnam had successfully developed vaccines against A/H1N1, A/H5N1, A/H7N9, and seasonal influenza. This country was highly valued by the WHO for quality vaccine production.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, researchers are currently testing 63 vaccines in clinical trials on humans. Vietnam is still on the right track in producing different types of vaccines against the COVID virus for the local market. It is better to be independent and self-reliant than relying heavily on foreign vaccines due to a lack of sufficient supply.

Vaccine production situation in Vietnam

Vietnam currently has four Covid-19 vaccines under separate development by four organizations:

• The Institute of Vaccines and Medical Biologicals (IVAC)

• Vaccine and Biological Production Company №1 (VABIOTECH)

• The Center for Research and Production of Vaccines and Biologicals (POLYVAC)

• NANOGEN Pharmaceutical Biotechnology JSC

Clinical trials on human

After passing pre-clinical stages such as laboratory research and tests on cells, tissue cultures, and animal subjects, a vaccine developed by Nanogen Company (Vietnam) started human trials in December. The vaccine is being developed based on advances in recombinant DNA and protein technologies. From 10 December, Nanogen will recruit 60 volunteers aged from 18–50 for its first phase of human trials of a potential Covid-19 vaccine.

On December 17, 2020, three first people including two men and a woman who were healthy and not disclosed, were firstly injected with the trial vaccine. They will be monitored for 72 hours. The vaccine is expected to cost VND120,000 ($5.17) per dose, which is a very reasonable and affordable price for all Vietnamese people.

After Nanocovax, the IVAC and Vabiotech are planning to test their vaccines in clinical trials on humans in early 2021. Besides, the Vietnam government is also in the step of the negotiation buying foreign vaccines as a backup.

At the meeting of the Steering Committee for Covid-19 Prevention held on the afternoon of December 7, the Ministry of Health expected that the Covid-19 vaccine from Vietnam could be supplied to the market as early as the second quarter of 2021.
Beyond being thankful and expressing gratitude

Beyond being thankful and expressing gratitude

Good job in keeping a gratitude journal, running out of things/people/situations you’re thankful for..repeating those. You’ve experienced some good stuff and positive changes, as did I.

Now, be ready to experience some great stuff. Get rid of one sentence that holds you back from really helping others. “Please let me know how can I help”. Or versions of it.

First, not only this is a soft commitment, but also passing a burden to the needy. Hardly a person needing help will reach out or will ask for some help. Few do, in limit as they don’t know the limit of your commitment to help.

I came across this profound idea from Seryl Sanburg’s book “Option B” and immediately put into practice. The book reignited the spark that I already had to go above and beyond in helping others. I’m there when my near and dear ones, even beyond that circle, who need help and are unable to express. That is when I experienced what really it means to be empathetic and not just sympathetic.

Actionable insight — Simply cooking or supplying food for people in grief, pain, need or recovering in hospital goes a long way. Gives you time and closeness to experience what else one can go to help them, without them asking for help. Or — just call and talk. Text not.

There is no “let me know if …”, just do it (take action!). This is the step that will launch to experience greatness beyond just expressing thankfulness to the universe. Do it without an anticipation of reciprocity, and the positivity of the action will overwhelm you…for a long time. And you know well what positive energy can create!! Boundless joy and prosperity beyond Imagination.

Are you ready to embrace? Wish you the best in success!
Think Globally but Act Locally

A few years ago, I was a student who came to school and learned several subjects. I knew many things, but I have little opportunity to access what I wanted to learn. I mean something that fulfilled my curiosity.

However, time flies so fast.

Since the era of technology and the internet, I can feed my curiosity with a lot of knowledge and information. Many things become transparent and accessible. It brings me to a larger perspective on life. It makes me passionate to be a man of solution.

Before we change the world, we should change ourselves and the local environment.

I knew that the internet presence has pros and cons. But if we focus on the pros, we can be a better person. We never know if the internet disappears someday. It is not a problem. But the problem is when we never optimize it.

Mr. Handry Satriago, GE Indonesian leader, once said, “We should think globally but act locally.”

He reminds me of our contribution. What does it mean?

It means we should be knowledgeable and generate innovative ideas. We should apply it to our local place or our country.

For millennials, you need to gain a thirst for knowledge. The future is waiting for your contribution, your action.

Anything becomes easy.

Our life becomes easy because there are innovative apps that simplify our difficulty. You can optimize these apps for good. You can build a community that focuses on solving the local problem. You can do anything in this era without leaving our morale.

We should be a friend with technology even we should beyond the technology itself.

The era has changed. We are the agent of change. We are the next leader who can solve any problem by thinking globally but act locally.

Why Is Taking ACTION So Hard For Me?

Without action you will never create anything

Taking Action —Franco Salcedo, Unsplash

Events of this past week have moved all of our lives. Most are completely unsure of their current direction. This alone is creating movement.

Many though mistake being in motion for taking action.

Whilst they sound similar, they are NOT the same.

When in motion, you are planning, strategising and learning. You are pulling together different strands to make something coherent and provide clarity.

However, they do not produce a result.

On the other hand, action, is the type of behaviour that will deliver your desired outcome. Without action nothing will be created.

As motion does not create results then why do we do it?

Sometimes that is because it is essential, we first plan or learn more. Though more often than not, we do it because motion allows us to feel progress is being made without running the risk of failure.

Most of us are past masters at avoiding criticism. We are not prepared to believe we could fail or to be judged publicly. With the result we tend to avoid situations where that might happen.

So we slip into motion rather than taking action. That way we seek to avoid the possibility of failure.

Motion makes you feel you are taking active steps. Though really, you are just preparing to do something.

To quote John Wooden:

“Never mistake activity for achievement.”

When preparation becomes a form of procrastination, you need to change something. You no longer want to merely be planning. You want to be practicing.

U.S. Fee-for-Service Reimbursement System
By: Linh Doan Vo
Tags: United States, Healthcare System, Health, Medical Prices, Health Care Reform

[Image Source: CareCloud]

The United States currently functions using a fee-for-service payment model, where medical providers are reimbursed by individuals, the government, and insurance companies (also referred to as third-party payers) for the number of services or procedures performed within a visit or stay. This traditional model has dictated the way healthcare professionals have provided care to us, in a manner revolving around volume rather than quality.



Scott Hodgin, M.D., a writer and researcher well-versed with the inner workings of healthcare and its current status, stated that this payment serves as “one of the most significant drivers of rising healthcare costs, contributing to wasteful spending, and lacking any incentives to reward cost-efficient, coordinated quality care.” He believes that the problem with the fee-for-service payment model lies in its “encouraging [of] over-utilization and fragmentation, where physicians and patients are buffered from the financial implications of unnecessary services and visits.” This reality means that some physicians may be encouraged to engage in excessive scheduling and billing behaviors in an effort to increase revenue. He draws upon his own experiences in the field to make the argument that a fee-for-service system is not the most beneficial one for taxpayers or patient consumers.



In my interview with Jesse Scharff, M.B.A., a healthcare growth strategist and team leader with Optum Advisory Services, he expressed, “I’m in favor of moving away from fee-for-service, but I don’t think providers have been pushed quickly enough for a more value-based system to be implemented. Inefficiencies in the fee-for-service system will hopefully be eliminated in the value-based payment system. I just can’t fault hospitals for using this system because it has been there for so long.”



Scharff’s observation makes a valid point, as much of healthcare moves relatively slowly due to a lack of legislative and public push for systematic change. Due to the fact that fee-for-service has become such a prominent reimbursement model for U.S. healthcare, transitioning out of this system seems difficult. This chapter will challenge that notion by proposing alternative reimbursement and payment models.



Our healthcare industry functions on a reimbursement system centered around the process of coding and making written claims. To further extrapolate, when healthcare professionals interact with a patient, they will document their actions, procedures, and duration of each interaction in a medical record either on paper or online through an electronic health record (EHR) platform. From there, they will “extract billable information from the medical record and clinical documentation” and use that information to formally bill insurance companies, government aid programs, and private payers through the usage of codes.

Slavery

27 Febuary 2019

On March 11, 1774, Phyllis Wheatley, an enslaved African girl, wrote a letter to Reverend Samson Occum in response to his disapproval of Christian ministers who owned slaves. She strongly agreed with the argument put forth by Rev. Occum, writing that she was “greatly satisfied with your Reasons representing the Negroes” and thought “highly reasonable what you offer in Vindication of their natural Rights” (Wheatley). While she implored God’s liberation from “those whose [greed] impels them…” she then followed up with, “This I desire not for their Hurt, but to convince them of the strange Absurdity of their Conduct whose Words and Actions are so diametrically opposite”. Throughout the letter, Wheatley talks about how Africans not only want their freedom but also their religious liberties. She asserts that Africans have, by the grace of God, the same rights as any other people, such as the once enslaved people of Israel, who were slaves in Egypt. Wheatley uses many rhetorical devices in order to convey her message to Rev. Samson Occum. She uses allusion, tone, and imagery.

Wheatley uses biblical allusion when she is talking about the Egyptians. “…Israelites had been less solicitous for their Freedom from Egyptian slavery”. She uses this biblical allusion to compare the enslavement of Israelites in Egypt to the enslavement of Africans in America. Wheatley also uses this letter as an occasion to point out the contradictions between the colonists’ demands for freedom from Britain and their determination to uphold slavery. She wrote, “How well the Cry for Liberty, and the reverse Disposition for the Exercise of oppressive Power over others agree — I humbly think it does not require the Penetration of a Philosopher to determine”.

Throughout the whole of the letter, Phillis Wheatley maintains a strong and powerful tone and uses imagery to further her point. She says, “Those that invade [natural rights] cannot be insensible that the divine Light is chasing away the thick Darkness which broods over the Land of Africa”. By using this imagery, Phillis Wheatley is referencing the ongoing missionary attempts to bring Africans into the center of Christianity. Overall, rhetoric makes Phillis Wheatly’s letter to Rev. Samson Occum more persuasive, effective, eloquent, and ethotic.

A Completely Exhausting List of Trump’s Pardons
By: R.B. Lamb
Tags: Satire, United States, President Trump, Humor, Politics

First of all, we’d like to point out pre-pardons for obvious criminals such as Rudolph Giuliani should surprise no one. We’ve been watching the same administration you have. You don’t get to act outraged about expected, outrageous behavior anymore. Sorry!

Second, the Presidential Pardon Power, being largely and inexplicably unlimited and stupid in a nation of laws, is still entirely unlimited. If you don’t want a President to pardon war criminals like the Blackwater massacrists, don’t let the President of the United States ignore laws. A simple amendment to the U.S. Constitution could change this, but good luck getting that bad boy going this decade. It took Congress nine months to grudgingly toss the U.S. taxpayer $600 of their own money back to them as COVID-19 relief.

Thirdly, yes the President has inexplicably pardoned a man for the illegal distillation of moonshine. Our understanding is he thought “moonshine" was a codename for the newly established Space Force and CNN had put him on trial. We didn’t feel like correcting this.

Fourth, the pardon of known electioneer and American icon Susan B. Anthony was something we advised against but ultimately allowed. The President just looks so happy when he’s accusing or excusing people of election fraud. We honestly can’t keep up with his enthusiasm in this area so we just let it roll, baby. Election fraud! Yeah!

Fifth, the pardon of a dentist, a bank robber, a car thief, and other miscellaneous villains… we can’t explain this. Just move on.

Sixth, the pardon of a state governor who literally sold a Senate seat is something we shouldn’t have to defend. Modern American problems require modern American solutions; let the market sort it out! And that’s what Governor Rod Blagojevich did. He is an American patriot and all around lovable, greedy huckster.

Seventh, all the various campaign finance related crimes don’t need to be looked into too deeply. You have been warned.
U.S. Visa Sample Letter Of Invitation
Tags: United States, Visa, Idispute, USA

Every year there are millions of people apply for a U.S Visitor Visa. Moreover, the process of applying for a visa in the United States requires proper paperwork preparation. One of those important elements is the letter of invitation for a U.S Visa. However, the reality is that not many people in the United States and the rest of the world are aware of how to write an invitation letter for a U.S Visitor Visa.

See on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sV8TcMr5vzw

Therefore, in this article, we will provide some important instructions about how to write this kind of letter.

To have a valid and meaningful invitation letter, you must use this unique template or see it on YouTube HERE

As per this template, you will need to fill the Inviter’s first and last name, or company name. The next sections require you to fill general information such as the address, phone number, and email of the inviter. Also, you will have to type the date of applying.

In the next step, you need to add the U.S Embassy address.

The third part requires that you fill out the information about the person that you are inviting to the United States. That information includes the date of birth of the invited person, passport number, and status (e.g child, adult). Also, you can use this simple and efficient template in case you need to invite more than one person at the same time.

The letter also states that the invitation is solely meant for the invited person(s) to travel in the United States for business and tourism purposes. And that the invited people will not remain in the U.S after the authorized stay. They will return to their country of residence at the end of their stay.

And finally, you will only need to sign, date, and the letter is ready to be submitted along with the other paperwork needed for the U.S visitor visa application.

iDispute hope this template letter will help you to get U.S. Visa.

By: Laura Federico
Tags: United States, Trumpism, Secession, Bipartisanship, 2020

You know what, I’ve come all the way around from “we’ve got to find a way to reunite with our fellow Americans (not incidentally cuz Trump & Putin are trying to make us hate each other)” to “There’s no getting through to people who’d rather die than wear a mask, and would consider it a privilege to die for their leader … so now what?”

I look at examples like Korea & Germany which have split into halves and I wonder if it’s always a bad idea. Yes, there’d be a cost in terms of worldwide influence & power, as another commentator mentioned. That’s a serious consideration. In the past that’s the one that’s reeled me back to, “Yeah we’re going to make this marriage work, dammit.”

But look at the power we’ve squandered in the Trump years. Are we viewed as a shining example of democracy anymore now that close to half our people want to be ruled by an autocrat? Do people elsewhere have faith in our stability, judgement, fairness or competence at this point? Can WE even claim those things anymore?

If we’re not looking at ourselves differently as 2020 draws to a close, then I’m not sure what it would take to make that happen.

I’d like to see if Joe Biden finally taking office would help. I think it’s possible that the majority of Republicans will settle down once they see functional government re-established. When leaders honestly report back to the people; when qualified public servants (instead of political appointees) are responsible for parts of government that demonstrably benefit society; when the rule of order is back in place, will we finally all calm down? When the virus is being handled coherently, when solid, reasonable policies are enacted to restore the economy, when positive change is in the air ….? What about then?

If we’re not constantly being goaded into hating each other — if the whole country isn’t riding the Trump Drama Train every day — if we start to find our way back to our international allies and they accept us back, isn’t it possible the U.S. might just CALM DOWN?

But if we don’t — if this homegrown right wing militia really is going to erupt on January 20, or if Congress will not let Biden govern — then we probably do need to put secession on the table as one possible option.

“We” are still in the majority but we can’t force “them” to go along with us. The two sides are now so far apart it’s really hard to see how we return to anything like balance. I’m not saying it’s impossible but there has to be willingness on both sides, to at least try. Right now I’m seeing that even though “our” side has been the one most trampled in the Trump era, even though the deaths of more than 300,000 people haven’t been enough to slake “their” rage or make them re-think their anti-facts stance, “they” are still the ones unwilling to make a move toward reconciliation.

Living among enemies has become so dispiriting that I’m finally starting to wonder if divorce wouldn’t just be a huge relief all the way around.
United we stand, divided we fall

“A house divided against itself cannot stand.” Abraham Lincoln

The simple reason we became the United States is that we were more powerful against any enemy together. States rights and state sovereignty are important and yet they do little to help overcome the dangers of an invasion, an attack on our shores, or a pandemic. If we had entered World War II state by state telling states to defend themselves, our national languages would be German and Japanese. The framework of the federal government helps us operate as a “more powerful union.”

The problems that face us as a nation are increasingly global. Facing the challenges of climate change, water resources, land use, immigration, literacy, technological literacy, health, population growth require a national and sometimes a global response.

We cannot indulge in thinking that we are separate. The problems of “those people over there” are signs of problems that will come to our shores. Even if you stop all international travel and trade (which is impossible), the air we breathe cannot be contained. We breathe air that comes from around the globe. Pollution of our seas affects the fish we all consume. So our thinking must expand beyond the border of a single state, or a single country. The World Health organization reports that nearly seven million people are killed each year around the world due to air pollution. Are we so naive that we think air sits in one place and stays there?

photo: World Health Organization

We are dependent on global stability and a first step in global stability is our national stability. We cannot fight each other over resources, human rights, racial justice. It is old thinking that some will rise while others fall. We are in the same boat. When it comes to the problems we now face, we are all in steerage.

THE FUTURE OF AMERICA

This Moment is a Great Moment to Ignore the Mass of Media

A web search in any search engine makes Biden and Harris sound like a darker, more evil version of Donald Trump. Which is completely absurd.

It wasn’t easy at all, but I did manage to find the good, better balanced, best news:

Is it possible that racism is behind all the negative results you get from a web search? Hmm. Let’s see what the New York Times has to say:

Aside from the fact that Biden and Harris couldn’t possibly do a worse job than Trump in running the country, there is also a real possibility that we’re about to witness an administration that will go down in history as the greatest ever in U.S. history, in spite of the hurdles presented right from the beginning.

The executive branch is considered to be the top law-enforcement agency in the country. Well, hell. Let’s just see what the WhiteHouse.gov has to say:

Well, goodness. That sounds like exactly the job Kamala Harris held all of her working life in California. And Joe Biden is likewise an attorney who will soon also be the chief law-enforcer in the United States. And oh boy, can Biden enforce. Just ask the leaders in Guatemala about Biden. Oh, wait. I think the one you’d want to ask was executed (I’m not certain).

Anyway, Biden will have to reassert the U.S. role in Central America, as Trump has destroyed the relationships we once had:

Significance Of The Online Events
By: Wayne Baxtrom
Tags: United States, Waynebaxtrom, Campaign Management, Online Event, Email Marketing Tips

The demand for online events can rarely be ignored these days. Today, Most of the companies are finding it to be suitable rather than an onsite event mainly because of fewer expenses associated with it, little environmental impact, and quick accessibility.

As per the expertise of Wayne Baxtrom, Online events are perfect for busy executives who just about manage to take some time out to attend an online meeting or conference. The other ways according to which online events can become beneficial to the corporate sector are as mentioned below:

Localization Option: Although living in a global village, it becomes important for businesses to explain concepts to people in their native languages. With rapid advancements in technological applications, the localization of concepts and notions has become a common phenomenon. A number of user-interface languages are available to localize event information to attract global audiences. Convenient: Online meetings and seminars are the best options for people who avoid onsite meetings that go on for long hours. Therefore, Wayne Baxtrom always prefer participating in a program that has no time restriction or traveling issues. Self-service Facility: It allows the event organizers to set up event websites, customize the site by adding themes, company banners or logos, and graphics to enhance the brand value. Coordinators ensure utmost collaboration through contacts with potential attendees via chats, emails, and regular updates. Even you can track the progress of an event in a hassle-free manner. Single Database: Administrative staff gets to view and manage everything from a single, centralized place. Registration details, payment stats to sales revenue, etc. are continuously stored in the database for 24/7 accessibility even after the finish of the event. Publish Details on Online Calendar: Online meeting planners can disclose upcoming program details on the online calendar as created by them for instant viewing by their target international audiences. It saves on travel expenses plus acts as an impactful promotional tool. Engage with Industry Experts: Through Webcams, and file sharing, online participants are able to exchange information in real-time. Online Events provide a unique opportunity to talk and share experiences with people belonging to different countries. In this era of technology, it is almost impossible to bring the best of speakers or presenters together in one place. However, with online events, it is possible now. Environment Friendly: Organizing a virtual event is a good way to reduce the carbon footprint on the earth.

Wayne Baxtrom is the best Online event organizer in the United States. Online bookings, online invitations, and online generation of reports reduce paper usage. It also saves on other lighting costs and saves energy.

I have the impression Kent is better known in France than in the United States. Her album Raconte-moi was recorded in French and became the second best selling French language album worldwide in 2010.

Kent has also faced serious health challenges. In a 2004 interview with Robert Kaiser of The Washington Post, Kent recounted that she’s been in comas three times caused by brainstem encephalitis:

Each time, bafﬂed doctors were not certain they could bring her back. The last coma was in 1999, and Tomlinson nursed her through it. On doctors’ advice, he brought records to her hospital room. When she awoke he was playing Mildred Bailey, one of the great jazz singers of the ’30s. “There’s just so much emotion in that voice,” Kent says. “It’s a cry — even when she’s singing a happy song.”

I love Stacey Kent’s music and discovered this marvelous 2018 interview en français with her. The interview is also available as a podcast.
Turkey says that despite US sanctions, it will not reverse the purchase of the Russian S-400 missile

Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu declared on Thursday that Turkey would not reverse its purchase of the Russian S-400 missile defence system and will take reciprocal action after reviewing the US sanctions imposed on the purchase of Russian weapons.

On Monday, the United States placed sanctions on NATO member Turkey’s Directorate of Defense Industry (SSB), its head, Ismail Demir, and three other officials over its acquisition of the S-400 missile.

On Wednesday, President Recep Erdogan claimed that the sanctions were a hostile strike on the defence industry in Turkey, and they would inevitably fail and censor the sanctions as a significant mistake.

2017 The implementation of the Countering America’s Adversaries by Sanctions Act (CAATSA) is intended to prohibit nations from buying military arms from NATO adversary Russia.

Reuters cited Cavusoglu as saying, “This isn’t following the rules of international law and it is a strategically and legitimately wrong decision,” If there is a way to reverse the decision, it would have happened by now,”If there was a way to revert decision, it would have occurred by now,” If it cooperated with Turkey and NATO, the United States could resolve the matter with good judgement, he added.

In comparison, Turkey claims that its procurement of the S-400s was not a choice, but rather a requirement, as any NATO partner could not secure a defence system on agreeable terms.

The U.S. believes the S-400s pose a threat to its F-35 warrior aircraft and the more robust NATO defence system. Turkey denies the allegations and claims that the S-400s are not going to be integrated into NATO.

On Thursday, Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu expressed Turkey won’t return from its acquisition of the Russian S-400 rocket guard framework and will take proportional measures in the wake of surveying US sanctions constrained over the Russian weapon purchase. On Monday, the United States constrained approvals on NATO part Turkey’s Defense Industry Directorate (SSB), its head, Ismail Demir, and on three different delegates over its procurement of the S-400s rocket.

President Recep Erdogan expressed on Wednesday that the authorizations were an unfriendly strike on Turkey’s guard industry, and they will without a doubt fizzle and reprimanded the assents as a grave misstep.2017 Countering America’s Adversaries through Sanctions Act (CAATSA) establishment is expected to dissuade countries from buying military weapons from NATO for Russia.

“This isn’t observing the guidelines of worldwide law and it is a deliberately and really wrong choice,” Reuters referred to Cavusoglu as saying. “In the event that there was an approach to return choice, it would have happened at this point,” he expressed, implying the acquisition of S-400s Missile. The United States might have settled the issue with decision-making ability on the off chance that it helped out Turkey and NATO, he added.

While, Turkey says its obtaining of the S-400s was not a choice, but rather a need as it couldn’t make sure about a guard framework from any NATO accomplice on pleasing terms. The United States says the S-400s represents a threat to its F-35 champion planes and NATO’s more broad protection framework. Turkey excuses the charges and says S-400s won’t be consolidated into NATO.
U.S. support to Libya, 4 years after ISIS defeat in Sirte

The Embassy of the United States in Libya has confirmed Washington’s support for the city of Sirte four years since the liberation from ISIS. “Four years after the liberation of Sirte from ISIS, the U.S. Embassy honours the bravery and commitment of the people of Sirte and all Libyans who fought and sacrificed so much to rid their country of the scourge of ISIS occupation”. The Embassy says in an official statement, stressing that today the U.S. through its agency USAID continues to support recovery in Sirte.

The agency is providing equipment to restore public services, clear rubble, and revive community life. Last week, USAID gave heavy equipment and trucks to the coastal city of Sirte to aid in clearing rubble and improving sewage and water services for Sirte residents. According to the same statement, this progress can serve as a model for rebuilding Libya as a whole, complementing the de-escalation of opposing forces that needs to begin immediately in central Libya. The U.S. embassy in Libya recalled that since 2016, the American Government, through the U.S. Department of State and United States Agency for International Development, has provided over $25 million in stabilization and early recovery efforts to consolidate the defeat of ISIS and build a peaceful future.

Over the past twelve months, the United States has strengthened its diplomatic action in Libya. They have started negotiations with all parties to reach a permanent ceasefire, managing to calm down the main regional actors involved: United Arab Emirates, Egypt, and France on the side of General Khalifa Haftar, Italy, Turkey, and Qatar with the executive of Fayez al-Serraj. Recently, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo harshly criticized Russia, accused of destabilizing the entire region and hiding its actions through disinformation campaigns and fake news. Moscow has sent thousands of pro-government Syrian mercenaries to Libya, in opposition to the same number of Turkmen fighters sent from Afrin to Tripoli from Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s Turkey. The Libyans and the UN Security Council have repeatedly called for all foreign forces to leave Libyan territory. Up to now, no concrete steps have been made in this sense.

Due to the lack of legitimacy and territory control of the Tripoli-based Government, terrorist groups exported their activities in Libya. The self-proclaimed Libyan National Army (LNA) under Marshall Haftar’s leadership liberated the eastern region from ISIS, which had turned Derna and Benghazi into its strongholds between 2014 and 2015. On the other hand, the forces affiliated with the Government of Tripoli launched the al-Bunian Al-Marsus operation in 2016 which made it possible to definitively defeat ISIS in the city of Sirte, which was the birthplace of Colonel Muammar Gaddafi. However, various extremist groups and armed militias outside state control remain active in the country.

Notwithstanding dangers, Iran proceeds with underground atomic activities

In spite of a ton of weight from the International people group and particularly the United States, Iran is ceaselessly extending its underground atomic office. As indicated by the on-location reports, Tehran has just started its tricky development on the site of its underground atomic office at Fordo.

The satellite photographs got on Friday show the degree of advancement in the work. This after the nation is yet to make an official affirmation of development and the exercises going on in the region. In 2009 as well, the revelation of the mysterious development was brought into the information on the west which prompted a blacklist of the nation followed by an arrangement in 2015.

The reason for existing is yet to be unveiled by the Iranian authorities with respect to whatever is going on in Fordo. The exercises in the locale will undoubtedly trigger new concerns particularly when Donald Trump is going out. This is coming after Iran perceived the development occurring at its Natanz atomic office after a baffling blast in July this year, a demonstration depicted as harmful by Tehran.

One of the authorities examining and taking note of the exercises in Tehran, Jeffrey Lewis, a specialist at the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies stated, “Any progressions at this site will be painstakingly looked as an indication of where Iran’s atomic program is going.”

Iran was reached to affirm the news by the reaction that the United Nations was looking for was never given by the inlet nation. Indeed, even the examiners of the International Atomic Energy Agency neglected to react to this issue. These specialists are in Iran as a piece of the atomic arrangement.

However, on the off chance that reports are to be accepted, at that point, it was first revealed in September when the development began at the Fordo site. The satellite pictures show that the development is occurring in the northwest corner of the site, which is near the blessed Shiite city of Qom and is only 55 miles from Tehran, the capital city.

“This area was a significant staying point in dealings prompting the Iran atomic arrangement. The US demanded Iran close it while Iran’s preeminent chief said keeping it was a red line,” said Lewis.
The biggest cyber attack on the United States, theft of very secret files related to nuclear weapons!

The United States, the world’s most powerful country, is targeting cybercriminals. Cybercriminals have carried out large-scale attacks on the networks of some agencies, including the National Nuclear Security Administration and the Department of Energy, which oversees the U.S. nuclear arsenal. Criminals are said to have been able to steal a large number of confidential files. The U.S. media company Politico provided the information to some officials in the relevant department in a report.

As soon as the cyber-attack was reported, the National Atomic Energy Administration and the Department of Energy’s team sent all information related to the hacking to the U.S. Congress Committee. So the government is not ready to believe that any confidential information has been stolen in the attack. It should be noted that the NNSA is responsible for the United States’ nuclear weapons. Its attacks on the network appear to be a major deterrent to U.S. security.

Cybercriminals also targeted tech company Microsoft, but the company denied it, according to a report. The company said it had not suffered any damage and that other products had not targeted its use. However, Microsoft must admit that the software involved in the hacking was found in its system. The U.S. agencies that have recorded the suspicious activity are the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission of New Mexico and Washington, the National Atomic Energy Administration, the Department of Energy, and some other agencies. All agencies targeted by cybercriminals control the United States’ nuclear weapons storage and ensure their safe transportation.

The United States, however, suspects that Russia has carried out a cyber attack on it. The United States has repeatedly accused Russia of carrying out cyberattacks. It is understood that the responsibility for cyber security in the United States rests primarily with the Cyber ​​Security and Infrastructure Protection Agency (CSA). The agency is said to have been very weak in the Trump administration.
