Biography

Ziemek started fencing when he was 12 years old, inspired by his father and a TV series about King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table.[2][3] The coach that had the greatest influence on him was Zbigniew Skrudlik (the Polish national fencing coach) at AZS Warsaw. Ziemek went on to become the Polish foil champion 11 times, won two silver medals in the World Student Games, came fourth in the 1974 world championship and won a silver medal in the team event, then won the Bologna A-grade (now Venice) in 1975 and the 1976 pre-Olympic tournament when he reached No. 3 in the world.[4]

Features from Windows 10 that could be updated with new functionality, including Cortana, Edge, and all in-box Universal Windows apps, are also not included. Feature updates are offered in new LTSC releases every 2–3 years instead of every 6 months, and organizations can choose to install them as in-place upgrades or even skip releases over a 10-year life cycle. Microsoft is committed to providing bug fixes and security patches for each LTSC release during this 10 year period.
