USPS Fills Leadership Ranks with New Deputy Postmaster General
The Plan Overview
The Postal Service is naming its Chief Human Resources Officer Doug Tulino to serve as deputy postmaster general, a position left vacant for a year.

Meanwhile, previous Deputy Postmaster General Ron Stroman will rejoin the agency by serving on its Board of Governors. The Senate approved his nomination Wednesday in a 69-30 vote to serve on the board through December 2021 and voted 66-32 for Stroman to serve on the board through December 2028.

Tulino, a career USPS employee with more than 40 years working at the agency, will stay on as its CHRO while taking on new responsibilities as deputy postmaster general. In this dual-hatted role, he’ll continue to oversee labor relations, human resources management, organizational development, compensation, and benefits, as well as recruiting and hiring. 
The Future of Internet Explorer
Is in Windows 10 Microsoft Edge
On May 19th, 2021 Microsoft announced the end of Internet Explorer and welcomed Microsoft Edge as the new replacement.

Internet Explorer 11 desktop application is set to retire and go out of support on June 15, 2022.

Not only is Microsoft Edge a faster, more secure, and more modern browsing experience than Internet Explorer, but it is also able to address a key concern: compatibility for older, legacy websites and applications. Microsoft Edge has Internet Explorer mode (“IE mode”) built-in, so you can access those legacy Internet Explorer-based websites and applications straight from Microsoft Edge.
