South Africa's new unity government under President Cyril Ramaphosa was sworn in on Wednesday, the first of its kind in the country after 30 years of rule by the ANC. Ahead of the 32 ministers -- from six parties -- making up the cabinet, Paul Mashatile, who has been re-appointed deputy president, was the first to take the oath during the televised ceremony in Cape Town. On Sunday, Ramaphosa, 71, unveiled his highly anticipated coalition government, which includes the leader of the former main opposition party and sees the number of ministries rise from 30 to 32. There are also 43 deputy ministers. His African National Congress (ANC), which has governed since the advent of democracy in 1994, sought to form a government of national unity after losing its outright parliamentary majority in May 29 elections. The historied party, which won just over 40 percent in the poll, keeps 20 cabinet positions, including foreign affairs, finance, defence, justice and police. Its largest coalition partner and long-time critic, the Democratic Alliance (DA), won 21.8 percent and will head six ministries, including agriculture, public works and communication. DA leader John Steenhuisen, 48, was appointed agriculture minister. Along with his party, he has criticised the ANC for failing to tackle high violent crime rates, a lacklustre economy and a crippling energy crisis. The Zulu nationalist Inkatha Freedom Party, anti-immigration Patriotic Alliance, right-wing Afrikaans party Freedom-Front Plus and other smaller parties will hold six cabinet positions between them. Fourteen ministers are women and there are 18 women serving as deputy ministers. The new government heralds a pragmatic shift to the centre right, bringing hope for better governance but also cohesion fears. US President Joe Biden called Ramaphosa on Tuesday «to congratulate him on his recent election and the successful formation of the government of national unity», according to the presidency. Ramaphosa has been under fire from opposition and business leaders over the number of ministers, with fears that the government will become immobilised and a waste of taxpayers' money. Each minister earns over 2.5 million rand ($135,000) a year, while deputy ministers are paid more than 2.2 million rand ($119,000), according to the government gazette. Perks include elaborate state security, travel allowances and ministerial homes in Cape Town, the seat of parliament, and the administrative capital, Pretoria. The opposition leftist Economic Freedom Fighters voiced concern «that this cabinet has been increased and bloated, signalling more pressure on taxpayers». © Agence France-Presse
Thousands of people have been ordered to evacuate as a wildfire rages out of control in northern California, with a swathe of the United States in the grip of a «record-breaking and dangerous» heatwave that was complicating firefighting efforts. More than 3,500 acres (1,400 hectares) of grass and woodland have been consumed since Tuesday when a blaze erupted just outside Oroville. The town, near the state capital of Sacramento, is just 23 miles (38 kilometers) from Paradise, a community that was razed in 2018 by the deadliest fire in California history, which claimed the lives of 85 people. Garrett Sjolund, fire chief of Butte County, said the area was under a so-called «red flag warning.» «The conditions out there that are in our county this summer are much different than we've experienced the last two summers,» he told reporters. «The fuels are very dense. Brush is dry, and as you can see, any wind will move a fire out very quickly.» Over 25,000 people in the area were under orders to evacuate on Wednesday, local NBC affiliate KCRA reported. - Fireworks - Climate scientists say the western US is undergoing a decades-long aridification as weather patterns change, at least in part because of human-caused global warming. California suffered around 20 years of drought, but the last two years were relatively mild, with near-record amounts of rain that filled reservoirs and sparked furious growth in forests and grasslands. However, 2024 is shaping up to be a hot and dry year, and that flora is rapidly drying out, creating plenty of fuel for the wildfires that are a normal part of the ecosystem's natural cycle. The conditions have left officials warning of potentially devastating blazes waiting to happen, especially if people are careless or negligent with fireworks over the upcoming July 4th Independence Day holiday. «We've had four fires within the last couple of weeks. This is a bad fire season,» said Butte County Sheriff Kory Honea. «The last thing we need is somebody who's purchased fireworks from a local fire stand going out and doing something stupid. Don't be an idiot.» On Wednesday, around 1,400 firefighters were attacking the flames on the ground with heavy machinery and by air with planes and helicopters, dumping red fire suppressant. Sjolund said that equipment and personnel were arriving from other jurisdictions to reinforce operations. A handful of people, including some firefighters, have reportedly been injured, though none of them seriously. AFP journalists have seen buildings and vehicles destroyed in the fire. California Governor Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency in Butte County, a move intended to free up resources and help the battle against the blaze. «We are using every available tool to tackle this fire and will continue to work closely with our local and federal partners to support impacted communities,» he said. «As we head into some of the most challenging months of wildfire season, the state is better prepared than ever to protect at-risk communities with new tools, technology and resources.» - 'Record-breaking' - The National Weather Service (NWS) said the area was expected to see punishingly high temperatures over the coming days, with the mercury touching 115 degrees Fahrenheit (46 degrees Celsius) in some spots. The oppressive heat is part of a system that is set to affect almost half of the country's population, including over the July 4 holiday weekend. «Record-breaking and dangerous heat is forecast to make this Fourth of July week a scorcher across much of the West and from the southern Plains to the Mid-Atlantic,» the NWS said Wednesday. «Nearly 150 million residents are currently under heat-related watches, warnings, and advisories throughout 21 states as of this afternoon.» Forecasters said the heat would roll in off the West Coast and take hold of central California before spreading further as the week progresses, including into Oregon and Washington to the north. «Dozens of record highs are possible, expressing the rarity of this early-July heatwave,» the NWS said. Extreme weather events are becoming increasingly common as our planet warms, largely due to humanity's unchecked burning of fossil fuels since the start of the Industrial Revolution. © Agence France-Presse

Облачные сервисы предоставляют пользователям разнообразные услуги, такие как предложение программного обеспечения, платформ и инфраструктуры для различных задач бизнеса. При выборе архитектуры для приложений, размещаемых на облачных платформах, важно учитывать специфику задач, которые компания планирует решить с их помощью. Для различных видов бизнес‑задач требуются разные архитектуры облачных приложений. Например, для выполнения ресурсоемких вычислительных задач, таких как имитационное моделирование и обработка больших объемов числовых данных используют архитектуру «Большие вычисления», позволяющую реализовать использование вычислительной мощности тысячи ядер. Для относительно простых задач, которые могут быть требовательны к вычислительным ресурсам, используют тип архитектуры «Веб‑интерфейс — очередь — рабочая роль». Для обычных бизнес‑приложений, не требующих частых обновлений, подходит N-уровневая архитектура с горизонтальными уровнями, разделенными подсетью. Читать далее
