Q: Altbeacon stopped working on Android10 and didEnterRegion does not get called at all altbeacon on Android 10 has simply stopped working. Are there any changes required especially to go to Android 10?
I have added the following permissions to my AndroidManifest.xml
<uses-permission android:name=\"android.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN\"/>
<uses-permission android:name=\"android.permission.BLUETOOTH\"/>
<uses-permission android:name=\"android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION\"/>
<uses-permission android:name=\"android.permission.ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION\"/>
<uses-permission android:name=\"android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED\" />
<uses-permission android:name=\"android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION\"/>

Looking at the app permissions, my app has the location and BT permissions granted while running.  I start looking for beacons on onBeaconServiceConnect as prescribed at https://altbeacon.github.io/android-beacon-library/samples.html. What am I missing?

A: Android 10 adds new permissions requirements to do BLE scans and detect BLE beacons -- any app setting targetSdkVersion 29 or higher needs to obtain permissions as described below or no beacons will be detected.  (If you set targetSdkVersion 28 or earlier, these new requirements do not apply when running on Android 10, as Android grants the permissions automatically.  This allows old apps to continue running unaffected after upgrading to Android 10.)
The changes below are what you need to to if you set your project to targetSdkVersion 29 or higher:
In addition to adding these permissions to the manifest:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION"/>

You must also dynamically obtain the location permissions from the user as described here:
private static final int PERMISSION_REQUEST_FINE_LOCATION = 1;
    private static final int PERMISSION_REQUEST_BACKGROUND_LOCATION = 2;
...
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

                        != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {

Russian Capitalism and the Death of Boris Berezovsky
Mon, Mar 25, 2013 - 7:48am
By JR Nyquist
jrnyquist [at] aol [dot] com ()
I was in the midst of interviewing former KGB officer Konstantin Preobrazhenskiy when we learned the news that the Russian "oligarch" and tycoon Boris Berezovsky had died. I couldn't resist asking Mr. Preobrazhenskiy his thoughts on Berezovsky's life, which turned into a fascinating discourse on the nature of Russian capitalism. To give readers a little background, Konstantin Georgiyevich Preobrazhenskiy worked for the KGB as a spy in Japan from 1980-85 and was an advisor on China, Japan and Korea to Leonid Zaitsev, the Head of the KGB's Technical Intelligence Directorate "T" in the First Chief Directorate.
I wanted to know how Russia's billionaires made their money. The answer is not what many would expect to hear. "As far as I know," replied Preobrazhenskiy, "Berezovsky did not conceal very much the fact of his being a KGB collaborator. Such collaboration in the Soviet period was normal for scholars of Jewish origin, especially those who were engaged in natural science. The USSR was a country of official anti-Semitism, and it was very hard for a Jewish Scholar to get a Ph.D. And in 1983 Berezovsky became a Doctor of Technical Science, which is higher than a Ph.D.! It was the year of Andropov's fight against dissidents and especially against Jews willing to repatriate to Israel. Under such conditions, a Jewish scholar simply could not get his doctorate without contacting the KGB and proving his loyalty to the Soviet Union."
Should we be shocked at Preobrazhenskiy's statement? As this column has explained again and again, the fall of the Soviet Union was not a straightforward event; and the new Russian economy, the new business climate, and the new men of business, were not like their Western counterparts. This is because they were not chosen by the market. They were, in fact, chosen by the KGB. According to Preobrazhenskiy, "In the early 1990s Berezovsky became one of the first Russain oligarchs. How? Nobody knows. As far as I know, the oligarchs were mostly reliable KGB agents to whom the KGB gave Communist Party money in order to turn them into KGB milk cows."
It is only obvious to those who understood how the old Soviet system worked, that the new system was founded squarely upon the old. And if Boris Berezovsky was a KGB agent before becoming an oligarch, he was not alone. He was part of a systemic transplantation wherein KGB agents were made into billionaires because the new Russia needed billionaires in the same sense that a modeling agency needs models. "Or maybe you think that oligarch Vladimir Gusinsky was not a KGB agent?" Preobrazhenskiy asked as he tested my credulity. "If so, then why was one of the leading councilors of his company (MOST) an elderly Army General named Philip Bobkov, a former head of the Fifth Directorate of the KGB? The Fifth Directorate was fighting dissidents and, in particular, Jews, and had a lot of Jewish collaborators. In the 1990s I was still living in Moscow, and my friends told me that Gusinsky was paying Bobkov 10 or 12 thousand dollars monthly. What for? It might be, sort of, 'good-bye money' to his KGB recruiter."
And then Preobrazhensky began going down the list of Russian oligarchs, noting their KGB connections and special relationships: "Another famous Russian oligarch, Roman Abramovich, is a KGB agent too. The late Alexander Litvinenko told me about this. Alexander Litvinenko was an FSB officer poisoned [with polonium-210] in London in 2006. He told me that the KGB had recruited Abramovich as a soldier during his conscript service in the Soviet Army. The KGB was backing them all: Berezovsky, Gusinsky, Abramovich, like all the other Russian oligarchs. That is why it's so hard to guess the reason for Berezovsky's death. In fact, being a KGB collaborator does not give you any life guarantees! Mostly it's the other way around: if you are a KGB collaborator, it is very easy for you to die."
Of course, a secret agent would have secrets. And sometimes those secrets are best kept in the grave. What was Berezovsky doing in the last years of his life? How did he come to be at odds with the Kremlin? There is a mystery around this man, and the mystery is as impenetrable as Russia itself. "In Russia," said Preobrazhensky, "Berezovsky was ill-liked, and here in America some of my friends thought Berezovsky was still on Putin's side…. But nevertheless, Berezovsky has managed to accomplish so many important historical tasks. These were deeds that any other mortal man could hardly do. These included the ascension of Putin, the war in Chechnya, constructing the political structure of Russia and many outstanding business projects."
In an article written for The Washington Post in 2000, Berezovsky argued that since Russia had almost no middle class it was up to Russia's tycoons to "interfere directly" in Russia's political process and stop the "former" communists from retaking full control. But the humble Jewish academician was no match for the not-so-humble KGB master, Vladimir Putin. On 17 July , 2000, Berezovsky resigned from the Duma, saying he didn't want to be part of an authoritarian restoration. He used his media empire to criticize the Kremlin until President Putin publicly warned, "The state has a cudgel in its hands that you use to hit just once, but on the head. We haven't used this cudgel yet. We've just brandished it…. On the day we get really angry, we won't hesitate to use it." Such was the signal for Berezovsky's exile.
I remember conversing with the Republic of Korea's ambassador to Russia in April 2001 at a conference. I asked her about her experiences in Moscow and she was positively mesmerized by one person: - Boris Berezovsky. "I think he's a genius," she told me. And so, indeed, he must have been an extraordinary man. "As an Orthodox Christian," said Preobrazhenskiy, "I appreciate very much his conversion to Orthodoxy in 1994. That is why, now, Berezovsky is suffering the trial of our Lord Jesus Christ, which is far more just than any human court."

The Rwandan genocide of 1994 killed 800,000 people, most of them ethnic Tutsi, in the space of three months and triggered two successive civil wars in neighbouring Congo. Although these more or less ended in 2003, the genocide's fallout can still incite violence and rouse armies. This month the UN Security Council authorised a military attack by a 3,000-strong multinational intervention force against a militia in eastern Congo that was formed two decades ago by Rwandan genocidaires who fled to the region's remote forests after losing power. They have made murderous mischief there ever since in the hope of toppling their former foes.

Q: elasticsearch-dsl: Negate a Filter I have a query like this
   s = Search(using=es, index=indices)
   s = s.filter('range',
                utctimestamp={'gte': begindateUTC, 'lte': enddateUTC})
         .filter("term",tags="foo").
         .sort("-utctimestamp")

My question is, how can negate the filter? i.e. not foo.
The above is a "must" using filter e.g.
  "filter": {
    "bool": {
      "must": [
        {
          "range": {
            "utctimestamp": {
              "from": 1460407864660,
              "to": 1460409664660
            }
          }
        },
        {
          "fquery": {
            "query": {
              "query_string": {
                "query": "_type:(\"foo\")"
              }
            },
            "_cache": true
          }
        }
      ]

how do i make it 'must not' for the 'foo' bit.
thanks in advance

A: You should use you filter in must_not clause.

The must_not clauses do not affect the score; their only purpose is
  to exclude documents that might otherwise have been included.

Pre heat the oven to 325. .
1. Cream the sugar and butter until pale and fluffy. I use the paper that the butter was in to grease the loaf pan.
2. Add eggs one at a time until fully incorporated. Make sure to scrape down the bowl after each addition.
3. Mash the bananas with the milk, vanilla, and cinnamon. Add to the sugar and butter mixture.
4. Combine the dry ingredients and add it to the banana and butter mixture. Fold in the dry ingredients until just incorporated. Do not over mix.
5. Pour into the loaf pan and bake for about 1 hour and 20 minutes, or until a tooth pick inserted into the middle and comes out clean.

When joblessness hits hard: The case of Egypt
Orange Magazine Editor 19.06.2013
About one million passengers travel daily using Cairo's Metro. On such a crammed metro, there is really not much to do but wait for the commute to be over. However, you'd notice a repeated scene of young men or women quickly scribbling something on a piece of paper or frantically pressing the buttons of their phones before the metro stops. With more scrutiny, the answer to the riddle unfolds; people are writing down the numbers of employment agencies.
The walls of Cairo's buildings, the underground stations and metro carriages are emblazoned with employment agencies' advertisements and flyers. These companies capitalise on the Egyptian youths' biggest challenges; unemployment. On 13th April 2013, Egyptian Minister of Manpower and Immigration Khaled Al-Azhry announced that the rate of unemployment reached 13 percent compared to the 9 percent of 2010. Therefore, the tiresome commute now brings hope to youths connecting them to those who can solve their problem. At least this is what Mahmoud Eltobgy thought.
Like thousands of Egyptian youths who approach employment agencies hoping to get through the unemployment crisis in Egypt, 28-year-old Eltobgy did the same. After his graduation in 2006 with a major in information technology, Eltobgy was not a slacker. On the contrary, he became an entrepreneur and with a group of friends, he established a small company for event organising; a skill he acquired while being an undergraduate.
For quite a while his business was thriving. His profits, however, declined after the January 25th revolution making it extremely hard for him to maintain the business. "My profits barely covered my expenses and rent and I ended up stuck between a rock and hard place; unprofitable business and being unable to secure my financial commitments. I had to look for another job," he says. With an eight to nine years experience in sales, marketing and event organising, Eltobgy started searching for jobs. His quest lasted for over one year and half, but came to no avail. He left his CV at an employment agency, but the agency mismatched him with a job that he did not qualify for. Living at the heart of Cairo in Abdeen neighbourhood, he set himself on a mission to apply for all sorts of companies disregarding how far they might be; multinationals, medium size ones and local employers.
"I applied even in companies in the area of greater Cairo, but the problem persisted. The salary offered was going to be spent on transportation and not much would be left for my expenses," he explains. Eltobgy understands that the economic conditions are impacting the job market and forcing companies to downsize their staff. "However, companies now resort to interns from universities to do the jobs for no money or peanuts. It's inexpensive for them, but it affects those who are qualified as they end up jobless," he says.
A way out?
Unemployment has always been part of Egypt's biggest challenges, but right after the revolution and the ensuing political instability, the growth rate of the Egyptian economy plummeted leaving about one million Egyptians jobless. This number increased in the second and third year after the revolution reaching 3.5 million citizens in 2013 due to the exacerbating conditions of the economy. According to "Egypt's Economic Profile" done by the American Chamber of Commerce in Egypt, the country is suffering from a devaluating currency, from a soaring inflation rate that has reached 9.2% at the end of 2012, a growing deficit of $17.7 billion and diminishing foreign currency reserves from $36 billion in 2010 to 13 billion at the end of February 2013.
Specialists studying the Egyptian labor market attribute the problem of unemployment to the lack of proper education system. The World Bank issued a report in 2010 entitled, "A Review of National Policies for Education: Higher Education in Egypt," stipulates that the current educational policies that depends mostly on rote learning produce students with "inadequate personal, subject-specific and employment-related skills and insufficient academic foundation for employment." They suggest that certain reforms in the Egyptian national educational system should be implemented to enhance the critical abilities of students and equip them with soft skills they lack to qualify for their career aspirations. These reforms include strengthening links between the labor market and higher education through surveying the skills needed in the market and incorporating them in educational institutions, modernizing technical and vocational education and expanding research capacity.
Eltobgy believes that experience or skills are not his issue, but rather the lack of job opportunities. That's why "government should create more jobs and help youths who are qualified to get the jobs they deserve" he says. Yet, the youth of Egypt are not waiting for the government to solve the crisis. They have been proactive to find short-term solutions by launching campaigns and initiatives. For example, the initiative of "Shoghlana" (a job) sponsored by German Society for International Cooperation is "the first non-profit newspaper that empowers blue-collar workers" and connects job demanders and suppliers. The newspaper publishes every four months providing blue-collar workers with vacancies that match their skills.
Will the short-term solutions pave the way for the government's long-term plans? The answer remains unclear at the moment, but what's palpable is that the youths will not be giving up any time soon, Eltobgy included. "No matter how hopeless it gets, I will keep on searching."

Siemens: Der digitale Zwilling der erweiterten Wertschöpfungskette
The digital twin of the expanded value chain
Munich, June 5, 2017
Siemens PLM Software is now probably the largest provider of industrial software, including an IoT cloud platform. The offer includes almost everything the industry needs to digitalize its products and processes - also in the direction of the Internet of Things. At the same time, Siemens no longer sees itself as a pure software provider for the digital enterprise.
Picture 1: Consistent Siemens industrial software portfolio for the digital enterprise (all pictures Siemens)
In the context of the various discussions on Industrie 4.0, it is often said that we have to take the people with us. At Siemens, this statement is not a lip-confession. It is based on the realization that digitalization needs more than digitalizing subprocesses in silos. A major role is also played by the horizontal integration of all sectors involved in the value chain. The transformation to a digital enterprise is ensured by a holistic approach that addresses all aspects: employees and organization, products and production. The change in the processes and increasingly also the business models of the customers is becoming increasingly important. Siemens has developed its own method of process consulting.
The article was based on a discussion with the Siemens PLM specialists (from the left, photos Sendler) Andreas Schäfer, Senior Director Marketing Germany, Mathias Mond, Vice President Enterprise Integration, and Matthias Schmich, Vice President Strategic Business. The article represents the position of Siemens PLM Software and has been approved by Siemens PLM Software.
Industrie 4.0 and Internet of Things (IoT) did not come as a surprise
For several years now, everyone has been talking about the digitalization of industry and the transformation that is triggered by the increasing connection and autonomization of the products and the growing importance of the data. Siemens was not really surprised by this current trend. For a number of years, the manufacturer has been on this road with customers. Even before the name Industrie 4.0 existed. Industrial software and its meaningful use are one of the central themes.
Since 2007, Siemens has invested around EUR 10 billion in company acquisitions, all of which had the same objective: to enable customers in the manufacturing industry to digitalize and integrate horizontally their entire value-added chain. From the first product idea to the analysis of the data from the use, which are reproduced over the Internet, the product, its production and the services provided with the product are to get digital twins. These twins are to represent the entire product and production life cycle. Only in this way will industrial companies be fast enough in the market. This is the only way to sell the products individually, but still as bulk goods. And this is the only way to generate additional value from the connecting of smart products and systems.
Picture 2: Siemens Digitalization - Added value by connecting the virtual and the real world
System-driven product development
The more important the data gathered and analyzed by actuators, sensors, cameras and other digital components during product operation, the better is a focus that Siemens has been pursuing for a long time: systems engineering. In the future, there are hardly any products that are not software-controlled and connected. For this reason, the leading motto under which Siemens PLM supports smart engineering is: system driven product development. From the management of the requirements and the design of the system architecture through the design and the validation up to the physical realization, the entire system has to be the focus. It is, of course, the reversal of conventional engineering, in which a product was considered as an assembly of its individual assemblies and components, which were first to be developed and manufactured.
And it is the logical further development of a mechatronic product model, which is widespread among Siemens customers.
Picture 3: Virtual planning and protection of mechatronic product models
Of course, the management of data from software development is of central importance for system development. Here, Siemens has taken over the renowned provider Polarion Software, which focuses on application lifecycle management (ALM).
At present, the researchers – and large industry groups – are working on the method of model-based systems engineering (MBSE) in the area of virtual product development. Recently, Prof. Dr. Martin Eigner, Institute for Virtual Product Development at the TU Kaiserslautern, and Urban August and Matthias Schmich from Siemens, published a whitepaper addressing this issue: "Smart products require a rethinking of product structures and processes – digitalization, integration, interdisciplinarity and federation". In other words, it is not even done with mastering systems engineering and a V-model that is as always extended. Especially since system development in the rarest cases can begin on the green field. The system model must rather support the product, its production and the operation. Siemens PLM Software is concentrating on the further development of its portfolio.
The PLM system Teamcenter is the centerpiece for multidisciplinary cooperation. It ensures the management of all data related to a product or system and arranges their relationships among each other. The comprehensive management of product data and their relationships is also the prerequisite for companies to successfully integrate the data of partners and suppliers into the system model. And it is a prerequisite for operation data from the Internet to flow back into the business processes in order to build holistic, continuous process chains. Regardless of which authoring system the involved parties are using in detail. Openness is therefore one of the most important principles for Siemens PLM.
From virtual to real product
At the same time, company acquisitions as well as the further development of the portfolio aim at a continuous expansion of the functionality in each individual application area. Andreas Schäfer: "Some believe that CAD is now a commodity, a standard that you do not have to worry about anymore. We see that quite differently. If Additive Manufacturing is to reach its full potential in the company, it depends on a CAD modeling that supports the rapidly evolving manufacturing process for plastics, metal and composites in a consistent process chain to Shopfloor in the best way. STL files were already available 25 years ago, but now, our customers with NX and the new Convergent Modeling are able to rethink the whole product creation: Seamless processing of scan data in CAD, integrated topology optimization and use of bionics for the design of new shapes and functions, as well as the automatic creation of support structures for 3D printing – these are examples that show, we continue to innovate in the CAx area." A study by the Fraunhofer Society recently confirmed that additive manufacturing processes and Industrie 4.0 have high synergy potentials in implementation.
Picture 4: Additive Manufacturing - rethinking the product design
It was not until mid-April 2017 that it was announced that the technology of Materialise is fully integrated into NX. These are comprehensive possibilities that prepare a product design for 3D printing. Instead of in two separate systems as before, users can now do this without data translation in a single one. In addition to Materialise, there is a wide range of strategic partnerships with machine manufacturers such as DMG MORI, Trumpf, EOS, Stratasys and HP, all of which use Siemens's additive manufacturing technology – some of them even exclusively – in their 3D printing systems.
The smarter the products and systems, the more important is the integrated electronics. The acquisition of Mentor Graphics by Siemens in March 2017 was therefore a major step towards the completion of the digital product model. Mechanics, electronics, software, the core disciplines of mechatronics, are also the core disciplines for connected and smart product systems. Keeping discipline-specific data in a common model is a decisive competitive advantage for users. For this model serves not only for geometrical representation.
It must also be tested virtually for its function before cost-intensive hardware comes into play. Simulation and calculation of all kinds – in addition to its own further developments, Siemens invested in LMS and CD-adapco in recent years. Multiphysics simulation, flow calculation, thermal analysis, magnetic field analysis, nonlinear calculation – from the results, product optimizations can be derived immediately, before and perhaps even without real prototypes. Of course, these simulation solutions can be supplemented by integrated test, analysis and documentation tools, in order to further accelerate the product development process.
The same methods described here for the product and its digital image can also be applied to production plants and their engineering. Siemens is also a provider of software for manufacturing execution system (MES) and manufacturing operation management (MOM). And with Tecnomatix, the portfolio for the digital factory, Siemens enables the planning, simulation and also the virtual commissioning of a machine or system, even on the basis of virtual machine controls.
Siemens PLM Software is a division of the Siemens division "Digital Factory". The division's offer complements the software for product development and production engineering with the software for the real control of automation. For several years, production engineering has also been integrated under the TIA portal via a single interface. The value chain of a company can thus be imaged through the digital twins for the product and the production. If a factory is re-established, a start-up is established or a cross-company project is re-established, this can be accompanied and protected from the start by complete digital twins.
Picture 5: Consistent digital processes from requirements to service
But the vast majority of Siemens customers have optimized their processes in long years and implemented a versatile and mostly heterogeneous IT landscape. The products with which they make their sales are developed and manufactured with these processes and tools. For these companies the ideal of digital twins in their innovation is helpful. However, they want to have very concrete starting points, next steps, helpful tools and methods, which help them on their way to the digital future.
This is the reason why customer consulting plays an increasingly important role for Siemens PLM software. Complexity in companies, in their processes, and in their IT infrastructure, has reached a degree where companies are looking for two things: examples of successful companies, whose "best practices" they can orient themselves to; and support for the definition and implementation of a strategy that opens the way to the future.
In a big number of projects, Siemens has developed its own method for answering these industrial requirements over the years. The focus is not on the IT systems, but on the strategic objectives and the processes of the companies. Mathias Mond explains proudly that the name of this method already indicates that it is not simply a question of advice: With "AdvantEdge", the customer is to be helped precisely to the advantage with which they are able to be ahead of the competition in the future, with which they position themselves at the very front at the extreme "edge", which makes the difference.
Picture 6: The AdvantEdge method (source Siemens PLM Software)
Mathias Mond: "At the beginning of a project you have the consideration of the goals of the customer, its processes and its IT. Usually, then, the best practice processes developed by Siemens from the many years of experience of their employees in the companies of the respective industry are shown. A proposal will be submitted, which will then be coordinated up to the statement of work (SOW)." The processes are at the top of the agenda, to shape them according to the strategic objectives is seen as a priority task.
Only then does the question arise how these processes are best supported by IT systems. Finally, the company's organizational structure should also be considered in order to make the most of the potential of the digital twins in practice. While Siemens sees itself as the main contact partner for the processes and the IT architecture, the company is also looking for a close partnership with leading consultancy and system integrators, which have their strengths in this regard.
Matthias Schmich adds: "It is always the combination of process, organization and IT that wants to be controlled. If a large company, which has developed and manufactured a certain system for space travel for more than ten years, suddenly faces the challenge of reducing costs by 40 percent and reducing system weight by 20 percent, this is not feasible with the usual improvement approaches. It is more and more about these major changes that the industry has to deal with, which is why the CEO is more and more our first point of contact, also the CDO, the Chief Digital Officer. Not just as much the development manager or IT manager as in the past."
The projects are rather set up long-term and often extend over several months and even years. Once the objectives have been agreed, a roadmap for implementation will be drawn up. As soon as the future key users of the new processes and tools are instructed and familiar with the solution and have found the solution to be good, the orderly transfer to the users of the company is on the agenda.
The digitalization of the industry is most visible for customers and end-users in the partial rather dramatic change of the service. What used to mean customer service and essentially meant maintenance, spare parts service and repair, is now becoming an area where new business models are emerging from product and service data. Predictive maintenance, product usage optimization, and software updates on devices or equipment during operation are increasingly becoming the smart service the customer expects.
This is the part of the internet of things that directly affects the industry. Platforms are being built on which producers, partners and service providers connect to an eco-system that provides end-users with industrial apps. Similar to an app store on the smartphone, apps are available, ranging from the analysis of the individual device, to the comparative analysis of high numbers of connected systems, to specific services for operation, maintenance and optimization. Siemens has set up its own platform with MindSphere.
Today, Accenture, Atos, evosoft, IBM, Microsoft and SAP are among the partners that provide the infrastructure and first MindApps for the industry. The acquisition of Omneo was an important basic building block, which can be used as an approach for data analytics to analyze data of any size according to any "dimensions" and has been successfully used by numerous customers for several years.
MindConnect is the connector for devices and products to MindSphere to enable the use of the data and its analysis. With new Siemens automation devices MindConnect is already integrated. But the customer can also retrofit his machines using the connector, and without much effort.
This type of cloud usage, where data from end devices can be massively analyzed, is welcomed by many customers as added value. Siemens does not compete here with its customers, such as machine and plant builders or plant operators. This allows the customer to develop his own apps and, through MindSphere, offer his services to his end customers. The protection of the networked devices and the data involved from unauthorized access is a highly prioritized task of Siemens and its partners. Cybersecurity, Siemens regards as one of the most important tasks in this new field of activity.
"If a lawn mower, controlled via app and the Internet, stops for a while in the home garden, because the connection is interrupted, that may be acceptable. But for a production plant you have completely different availability and security requirements," says Andreas Schäfer. "However, recent cyber attacks such as" Wanna Cry "show that all networked devices allow criminal attacks that can endanger not only the device in question, but entire corporations as well. Therefore, the high priority of cybersecurity is true without restriction for all types of products."
For the use of PLM in a public cloud, the specialists from Siemens do not see any great future in the foreseeable timeframe, as opposed to data analysis or extensive calculation tasks. The operational data of products, systems and processes, which are stored and managed by the companies with Teamcenter, are too important to be placed in a public cloud. Their complexity, the complexity of the interrelated data, and their relationship to the source systems, make it still an incalculable risk for most companies to refrain from direct access.
Picture 7: MindSphere - the cloud-based open IoT operating system from Siemens
From IT and production automation to the digital twin
Siemens has come a long way of digitalization. The beginning was the use of the programmable logic controller for the automation of production, even today the most recent products from this range of controls are the world's leading standard in the industry, whether Simatic, Simotion or Sinumerik. After the takeover of the platform Teamcenter for multidisciplinary collaboration, additional software modules were gradually added through acquisitions. Today, Siemens is able to digitalize the entire value chain of its customers. Now the circle closes.
By integrating the digital models of all parts of the process chain the product model becomes a system model which is fusing with the production engineering data and the plant's real equipment into the digital twins of the entire value chain, thus enabling closed loop control circuits. And it is these digital twins who, in turn, help companies to expand value creation: involving partners and suppliers in an IoT ecosystem, leveraging data from product, production and service for new services and business models.
If possible, complete digital twins, fed with the data of their real counterparts and equipped with learning algorithms will enable completely new smart products and product creation processes. PLM, ALM, MOM and SLM (Service Lifecycle Management) therefore provide the necessary basis for a successful use of IoT.
Picture 8: Horizontal and vertical process integration through digitization
Today, Siemens is still the largest supplier of hardware and software for automation for its customers. Just as the company has the largest portfolio of industrial software on offer. But the most important difference to the competition is that Siemens helps its customers to become Digital Enterprises with the digital twins.

Don't get left out in the cold this winter, with all the snow we got with this latest storm it may cause some problems like never before.
Yesterday I got the dreaded call when I was at work that the furnace was not kicking in. I felt pretty confident that the furnace was fine since it is only 3 years old, but was honestly baffled on how it would suddenly stop working. We have a gas furnace so I called Comfort Systems and they told me to check two things.
1.) If you have outside vents for the furnace make sure they are cleared of all snow. This can be very dangerous since Carbon Monoxide can back up into the house. I knew they were clear because I looked just the other day for that exact reason.
2.) Make sure your gas meter is completely cleared of all snow, especially the round piece on the top of it. With all the snow we had gotten our meter was buried, which caused it to freeze and it shut off the gas to the furnace. Once we cleared it out it just took a few minutes for it to kick on and the house was toasty warm.

The reorder point (ROP) is the level of inventory which triggers an action to replenish that particular inventory stock. It is a minimum amount of an item which a firm holds in stock, such that, when stock falls to this amount, the item must be reordered. It is normally calculated as the forecast usage during the replenishment lead time plus safety stock. In the EOQ (Economic Order Quantity) model, it was assumed that there is no time lag between ordering and procuring of materials.

Continuous Review System

The reorder point for replenishment of stock occurs when the level of inventory drops down to zero. In view of instantaneous replenishment of stock the level of inventory jumps to the original level from zero level.

In real life situations one never encounters a zero lead time. There is always a time lag from the date of placing an order for material and the date on which materials are received. As a result the reorder point is always higher than zero, and if the firm places the order when the inventory reaches the reorder point, the new goods will arrive before the firm runs out of goods to sell. The decision on how much stock to hold is generally referred to as the order point problem, that is, how low should the inventory be depleted before it is reordered.

The two factors that determine the appropriate order point are the delivery time stock which is the Inventory needed during the lead time (i.e., the difference between the order date and the receipt of the inventory ordered) and the safety stock which is the minimum level of inventory that is held as a protection against shortages due to fluctuations in demand.

Therefore: Reorder Point = Normal consumption during lead-time + Safety Stock .

Several factors determine how much delivery time stock and safety stock should be held. In summary, the efficiency of a replenishment system affects how much delivery time is needed. Since the delivery time stock is the expected inventory usage between ordering and receiving inventory, efficient replenishment of inventory would reduce the need for delivery time stock. And the determination of level of safety stock involves a basic trade-off between the risk of stockout, resulting in possible customer dissatisfaction and lost sales, and the increased costs associated with carrying additional inventory.

Another method of calculating reorder level involves the calculation of usage rate per day, lead time which is the amount of time between placing an order and receiving the goods and the safety stock level expressed in terms of several days' sales.

Reorder level = Average daily usage rate × lead-time in days .

From the above formula it can be easily deduced that an order for replenishment of materials be made when the level of inventory is just adequate to meet the needs of production during lead-time.

Example
If the average daily usage rate of a material is 50 units and the lead-time is seven days, then:

Reorder level = Average daily usage rate × Lead time in days = 50 units per day × 7 days = 350 units
When the inventory level reaches 350 units an order should be placed for material. By the time the inventory level reaches zero towards the end of the seventh day from placing the order materials will reach and there is no cause for concern.

Reorder point = Average Lead Time*Average Demand + Service Level*

More information on above formulation is given here:
http://scm.ncsu.edu/scm-articles/article/reorder-point-formula-inventory-management-models-a-tutorial

Reorder point = S × L + J (S × R × L)
Where
S = Usage in units per day
L = Lead time in days
R = Average number of units per order
J = Stock out acceptance factor
The stock-out acceptance factor, 'J', depends on the stock-out percentage rate specified and the probability distribution of usage (which is assumed to follow a Poisson distribution).

Q: MongoImport on debian missing options I'm trying to use mongoimport to import a jsonArray but it seems that my mongoimport doesn't have that option.
aaa@aaa:~/demo$ mongoimport
connected to: 127.0.0.1
no collection specified!
options:
  --help                  produce help message
  -v [ --verbose ]        be more verbose (include multiple times for more
                          verbosity e.g. -vvvvv)
  -h [ --host ] arg       mongo host to connect to ("left,right" for pairs)
  -d [ --db ] arg         database to use
  -c [ --collection ] arg collection to use (some commands)
  -u [ --username ] arg   username
  -p [ --password ] arg   password
  --dbpath arg            directly access mongod data files in the given path,
                          instead of connecting to a mongod instance - needs to
                          lock the data directory, so cannot be used if a
                          mongod is currently accessing the same path
  --directoryperdb        if dbpath specified, each db is in a separate
                          directory
  -f [ --fields ] arg     comma seperated list of field names e.g. -f name,age

  --type arg              type of file to import.  default: json (json,csv,tsv)
  --file arg              file to import from; if not specified stdin is used
  --drop                  drop collection first
  --headerline            CSV,TSV only - use first line as headers

DId anyone get across this issue?

A: The ideal way to use mongoimport is to specify database host, port details and collection name and the 'to be imported' file as an optional argument. Example:
mongoimport --host ${host} --port ${port} --db ${db_name} --collection ${collection_name} --file ${to_be_imported_file_name}.

You may skip --host and --port part if done against server at localhost:27017.

Q: Solving this trigonometric equation: $\sqrt{3} \cos x - 3 \sin x = 4 \sin 2x \cos 3x$ $$\sqrt{3} \cos x - 3 \sin x = 4 \sin 2x \;\cos 3x$$
I tried many things: opening $\sin 2x$, $\cos 3x$, simplifying LHS: $\cos(60^\circ+x)$. Nothing seems to work.
Any hint?

A: Werner Formula says: $$2\sin2x\cos3x=\sin5x-\sin x$$
So, we have
$$\sqrt3\cos x-3\sin x=2(\sin5x-\sin x)$$
$$\iff\sqrt3\cos x-\sin x=2\sin5x$$
$$\iff2\sin(60^\circ -x)=2\sin5x$$
Hope you know about the general solution of $\displaystyle\sin x=\sin\alpha$


Opal Esther Thompson was born 25 Sep 1903 in Chariton County, Missouri. On 30 June 1919 she married Frank Edward Oldham who was born 29 June 1900 and was the son of Marion Goodman Oldham "Goodie" and Junettie Spencer "Nettie", farmers in Chariton County, southeast of Marceline, Missouri.
Frank passed away 7 January 1935 at Putman Memorial Hospital, Marceline, Missouri after a long illness with cancer at the age of 34 Years. Opal Esther passed away 19 February 1969 at St. Francis Hospital, Marceline, Missouri at the age of 65. She had had a heart attack much earlier and also a high hernia and was given the wrong shot by a doctor that was on call at the time who did not know her medical history.

407 expansion: more public money to private profit?
The Harper government yesterday announced $1.5 billion in spending to improve transit in the GTA. An unspecified amount of that package will be to extend the Highway 407 tollroad 67 kilometres eastward into finance minister Jim Flaherty's riding. Judging by the cost of the 404 extension, also announced yesterday, the toll road will cost hundreds of millions of dollars to extend.
Now hold on a second. The 407 ETR (Electronic Toll Road) is operated and, for all intents and purposes, owned via a 99-year lease by a private consortium comprised of Cintra Concesiones de Infraestructuras de Transporte (major shareholder) from Spain, Macquarie Infrastructure Group, and SNC-Lavalin that generated revenues of $118 million in 2006. 407 ETR, which charges its users the highest toll in North America (17.6 cents/km for a small vehicle in peak hours)
Now I thought the logic behind so-called "Public-Private Partnerships" was that the private sector would take on the cost and risk of a public project. Of course, the reality is quite different - the public ends up paying more and getting less so that private shareholders can profit from the public purse.
If the 407 is to be expanded shouldn't the private consortium be footing the bill, particularly if they're going to profit from the longer road for the remaining 91 years of the lease? If not, then shouldn't the new 67 kilometres being built at public expense be entirely toll-free? Why should we be paying hundreds of millions of dollars to enhance a private asset?

Hedge Fund Billionaire Robert Mercer Will Step Down As CEO Of His Company Following BuzzFeed News Exposé
Mercer, whose money helped elect Donald Trump, will also sell his stake in Breitbart to his daughters after a BuzzFeed News report linked the site to white nationalists.
Posted on November 2, 2017, at 11:33 a.m. ET
Robert Mercer, the hedge fund billionaire who has come under media scrutiny for his role in helping elect Donald Trump, announced today he would step down from his role as co-CEO of Renaissance Technologies. The decision, announced in a memo to Renaissance employees, followed a BuzzFeed News exposé revealing the connections of Breitbart — partially owned by Mercer — to white nationalists and neo-Nazis.
Sources familiar with Renaissance informed BuzzFeed News in recent days of significant anger within the company about the report, which revealed that former Breitbart tech editor Milo Yiannopoulos had cultivated white nationalists and used them to generate ideas and help edit stories on the site.
Mercer's statement specifically denounces Yiannopoulos and states that "I was mistaken to have supported him, and for several weeks have been in the process of severing all ties with him." He also announced his intention to sell his stake in Breitbart to his daughters.
Mercer was a major funder of Donald Trump's presidential effort.
Renaissance is one of the world's most successful hedge funds and manages more than $50 billion.
Mercer's memo in full:
During the past year, I have been the object of a great deal of scrutiny from the press. I have declined to comment on what has been written about me, imagining that with time the attention would dissipate. Because that has yet to happen, I have decided to correct some of the misinformation that has been published about me. It is not my intention to impose the views I describe below on anyone else.
My goal is simply to explain my thinking, the very essence of which is that all of us should think for ourselves.
I believe that individuals are happiest and most fulfilled when they form their own opinions, assume responsibility for their own actions, and spend the fruits of their own labor as they see fit. I believe that a collection of individuals making their own decisions within the confines of a clear and concise set of laws that they have determined for themselves will advance society much more effectively than will a collection of experts who are confident in their knowledge of what is best for everyone else. This is why I support conservatives, who favor a smaller, less powerful government.
A society founded on the basis of the individual freedom that flourishes under a limited federal government has no place for discrimination. Of the many mischaracterizations made of me by the press, the most repugnant to me have been the intimations that I am a white supremacist or a member of some other noxious group.
Discrimination on the basis of race, ethnicity, gender, creed, or anything of that sort is abhorrent to me. But more than that, it is ignorant.
The press has also intimated that my politics marches in lockstep with Steve Bannon's. I have great respect for Mr. Bannon, and from time to time I do discuss politics with him. However, I make my own decisions with respect to whom I support politically. Those decisions do not always align with Mr. Bannon's.
Without individuals thinking for themselves, society as a whole will struggle to distinguish the signal of truth from the correlated noise of conformity. I supported Milo Yiannopoulos in the hope and expectation that his expression of views contrary to the social mainstream and his spotlighting of the hypocrisy of those who would close down free speech in the name of political correctness would promote the type of open debate and freedom of thought that is being throttled on many American college campuses today. But in my opinion, actions of and statements by Mr. Yiannopoulos have caused pain and divisiveness undermining the open and productive discourse that I had hoped to facilitate. I was mistaken to have supported him, and for several weeks have been in the process of severing all ties with him.
For personal reasons, I have also decided to sell my stake in Breitbart News to my daughters.
I would also like to inform you of a decision I have reached with respect to my role at Renaissance, an organization I adore with colleagues whom I deeply respect and admire. I am 71 years old, the same age that Jim Simons was when he retired. I do not plan to retire, but I do plan to relinquish my management responsibilities.
Peter Brown and I have been Co-CEOs for the past eight years. On January 1, 2018, I will step down from my position as Co-CEO and resign from the board of directors. I will continue with the firm as a member of its technical staff, focusing on the research work that I find most fulfilling. Peter will continue on as CEO, and I will provide him with my counsel whenever he feels that I can be helpful to him and to the company where I have spent so many wonderful years.

Q: How to unlock Lenovo hdd password I have a Lenovo V130-15IGM laptop which I have not set an hdd password for before then it happens last week that it started asking for hdd password. What could cause this and how can I go about it?
Because I checked Lenovo support they put it there that they cannot help resetting any hdd password.
I don't care about anything data on the hdd I just want to remove the password

A: You must have set the password and perhaps forgot it or do not remember setting it up.
I use Lenovo machines with BIOS and Disk passwords.
Lenovo does not set up passwords on BIOS or on the Disk on their machines. Because of this, they cannot help with passwords.
If you cannot remember the password, then you must replace the disk in the computer.
There may be a problem with the drive requiring replacement in any event.

Q: Hey, new to programming. I want to convert a decimal number to sign-magnitud I do know how to do it on paper. The problem is when i do it on code. I get this error:
incompatible types: possible lossy conversion from int to byte
I know my binary number is getting saved in a String and i want to change those 0's to 1's and viceverse which is why i have the if
here's my code:
import java.util.Scanner:

Public class decimalacomplemento1 {

    public static void main(String[] ar){
       Scanner decimal = new Scanner(System.in);
       int dividendo, base = 2, numero, resto;
       String binario = "";
       System.out.println("Ingrese numero");
       numero = decimal.nextInt();
       dividendo = numero;

       while(dividendo >= base){
                resto = dividendo % base;
               binario = resto + binario;
               dividendo = dividendo/base;
       }
       binario = dividendo + binario; // el numero binario

       if (binario == 0) {
              binario = 1;
       }else{
              binario = 0;
       }

       System.out.println("En sistema binario " + numero + " se escribe " +     binario);
   }
}

A: To invert 0 to 1 and vice versa throughout your String, you may do:
    StringBuilder buf = new StringBuilder(binario);
    for (int ix = 0; ix < buf.length(); ix++) {
        if (buf.charAt(ix) == '0') {
            buf.setCharAt(ix, '1');
        } else {
            buf.setCharAt(ix, '0');
        }
    }
    binario = buf.toString();

With this change, if I enter 6 (binary 110) into your program, it prints:
En sistema binario 6 se escribe 001

Q: UITableView Using a row as a segue So I've been trying to get any row to act like a segue to the next class, kind of like how if you swipe left you can delete the row, after adding the func tableView(tableView: UITableView, commitEditingStyle editingStyle: UITableViewCellEditingStyle, forRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath)
but instead in stead of deleting it I would like it to show the another class. If anyone could help it would be great thanks

A: If I'm understanding the question correctly, you would like so that the user would swipe left on a cell, and it would trigger a segue?
If this is the case, you could try adding a UISwipeGestureRecognizer to the cell using the addGestureRecognizer method, within the cellForRow method of the UITableViewDataSource class.
Hope this helps!

A: You can add swiprgesturerecognizer something like,
 class MyViewController: UITableViewController {

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    var recognizer = UISwipeGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: "didSwipe")
    self.tableView.addGestureRecognizer(recognizer)
}

func didSwipe(recognizer: UIGestureRecognizer) {
    if recognizer.state == UIGestureRecognizerState.Ended {
        let swipeLocation = recognizer.locationInView(self.tableView)
        if let swipedIndexPath = tableView.indexPathForRowAtPoint(swipeLocation) {
            if let swipedCell = self.tableView.cellForRowAtIndexPath(swipedIndexPath) {
                // Swipe happened. Do stuff!
            }
        }
    }
}

}

This was an example, manage it as your need. you can add swipegesture's direction property for handle particular direction's swipe like UISwipeGestureRecognizerDirection.Left or Right.
You can refer this answer as a reference.
Hope this will help :)

The Chilean recluse spider, Loxosceles laeta, is a highly venomous spider  of the family Sicariidae. In Spanish, it (and other South American recluse spiders) is known as , or "corner spider"; in Brazilian Portuguese, as  or "brown spider". It is considered by many to be the most dangerous of recluse spiders, and its bites often result in serious systemic reactions, up to and including death.

Description

The Chilean recluse is one of the larger species of recluse spiders, generally ranging from 8–40 mm in size (including legs). Like most recluses, it is brown and usually has markings on the dorsal side of its thorax, with a black line coming from it that looks like a violin with the neck of the violin pointing to the rear of the spider resulting in the nickname "fiddleback spider" or "violin spider" in English-speaking areas. Coloring varies from light tan to brown and the violin marking may not be visible. Since the "violin pattern" is not diagnostic, it is far more important, for purposes of identification, to examine the eyes. Most spiders have eight eyes, but recluse spiders have six eyes arranged in pairs (dyads) with one median pair and two lateral pairs.

Like other recluse spiders, the Chilean recluse builds irregular webs that frequently include a shelter consisting of disorderly threads. Unlike most web weavers, they leave these webs at night to hunt. People get bitten when they unintentionally squeeze them in clothing and bedding. They frequently build their webs in woodpiles and sheds, closets, garages, and other places that are dry and
generally undisturbed. The spider is frequently found in human dwellings. They can last a long time without food or water, a characteristic that encourages their worldwide spread.

Habitat
The Chilean recluse spider is native to South America. It is common in Chile, and can be found in Perú, Ecuador, Argentina, Uruguay, and south and eastern Brazil.

It has been introduced into several areas outside its natural range but does not thrive in those locations. The spider is known to have established itself in the Los Angeles area. Infestations have been reported in the United States (Massachusetts, Florida, Kansas), Canada (Vancouver, British Columbia), and Australia. One colony of the spider is living in the Natural History Museum of Helsinki where it was probably introduced through fruit shipments in the 1960s and 1970s. Local daycares, preschools and schools arrange daytrips here and parents are forewarned about the risk by required consent forms, although only one bite has ever been recorded. In 2021 this spider was also found in three different school buildings in the town of Sandviken, Sweden.

Medical significance

As indicated by its name ( meaning "happy"), this spider is not aggressive and usually bites only when pressed against human skin, such as when putting on an article of clothing. Like all sicariid spiders, the venom of the Chilean recluse contains the dermonecrotic agent Sphingomyelinase D, which is otherwise found only in a few pathogenic bacteria. According to one study, the venom of the Chilean recluse along with the six-eyed sand spider Hexophthalma hahni, contains an order of magnitude more of this substance than that of other sicariid spiders such as the brown recluse. For a comparison of the toxicity of several kinds of spider bites, see the list of spiders having medically significant venom.

Spectrum of disease
Disease may range from a minor bite with mild skin irritation, to severe skin necrosis, called cutaneous loxoscelism, to a less common syndrome in 10-15% of cases, a systemic illness called viscerocutaneous loxoscelism, because it involves inner organs.
Cutaneous loxoscelism results from serious bites causing a necrotising skin ulcer in about 50% of bites with destruction of soft tissue and may take months, and rarely years to heal, leaving deep scars. The damaged tissue will become gangrenous black and eventually slough away. Initially there may be no pain from a bite, but over time the wound may grow to as large as 10 inches (25 cm) in extreme cases. Bites are felt initially but may take up to seven hours to cause visible damage; more serious systemic effects may occur before this time, as venom of any kind spreads throughout the body in minutes.
Viscerocutaneous loxoscelism manifests with skin blanching due to vasoconstriction, sometimes a dengue-like scarlatiniform rash, hemolysis, sometimes resulting in hemoglobinuria, hemolytic anemia and acute tubular necrosis leading to kidney failure, and death in 3%–4% of cases per a study covering 30 years of bites in Chile. In a single year (2005) no deaths were reported. In Peru, viscerocutaneous loxoscelism occurs in 27.2% of cases, in Chile it occurs in 15.7% and in the state of Santa Catarina, in Brazil it occurs in 13.1%. In a period from 1955 to 2000 250 cases of Loxoscelism were studied in Santiago, Chile, cutaneous loxoscelism occurred in 81.2% of the cases (203), while the most severe form, viscerocutaneous loxoscelism, occurred in 18.8% (47). Of the 47 who had viscerocutaneous loxoscelism, 9 died, representing a mortality rate of 19.1%, 6 were women and 3 were men, aged 2 to 37 years, 6 occurred in the summer, two in the fall and one in the winter. Loxosceles laeta can produce 60 µg of venom by electrostimulation, compared to 30-40 µg of Loxosceles intermedia and Loxosceles gaucho. In Peru, the mortality rate was 18% for those over 13 years old, and 50% for children under 13 years old, the amount of venom injected by the spider is only 0.5 to 1.0 µl.

Treatment
Application of an ice pack helps as first aid, because the venom is more active at high temperatures. Applying aloe vera may soothe and help control the pain. The spider should be brought with the patient in a clear, tightly closed container for identification, if it can be captured. However, by the time the bite is noticed, any spider found nearby is not likely to be the culprit.

Antidote results have been discouraging. Retrospective data are limited because they lack a definition of time to antivenom administration and its relation to outcome.

In South America, dapsone has been tried at 100 mg/day for one week, unless there is active hemolysis or G6PD deficiency. No controlled trials have been reported; the practice is controversial, but clinical experience in Perú and several limited studies support this practice. Systemic corticosteroids are often considered, but without clinical trials to support the practice.

Oregon Public House Has Closed Its Doors for the Foreseeable Future
The board of directors for nation's first nonprofit pub say months of reduced sales and the latest "freeze" pushed it into hibernation.
courtesy of Oregon Public House
By Andi Prewitt |
Winter is technically still more than three weeks away, but already another brewery has decided it won't even try to make it through the next season.
Oregon Public House announced today on its website and social media platforms that it will be closing its doors until its "board of directors determines that it will be safe and sustainable" to reopen.
Housed in a former Odd Fellows Hall on Northeast Dekum Street, Oregon Public House opened in 2013 as the nation's first nonprofit pub. Employees are paid industry-standard wages, but the board of directors are all volunteers. Profits go to charities, and customers got to have their say where their money went—when purchasing food or beer, you could vote for how the donation should be divvied up among a list of local organizations.
Following months of reduced sales and other pandemic-related challenges, Oregon Public House's founders say the latest "freeze" on indoor and outdoor dining pushed the operation into hibernation.
"This extremely difficult decision was not made lightly," a statement on the pub's website read. "We have tried our best to continue to serve our community and to rise to meet the challenges of the moment, but unfortunately it has not been enough."
You can still support Oregon Public House during the closure by purchasing gift cards or merchandise on its website.
Oregon Public House isn't the only temporary shutdown the Portland beer community saw today. Lucky Labrador Brewing shared on social media that it would have to suspend all service once again. The post did state, however, that the business may start offering beer delivery.

A Guide to Turmoil in Libya Part II: The Civil War
Posted on May 30, 2014 May 29, 2014 Author Alexander LangerComments Off on A Guide to Turmoil in Libya Part II: The Civil War
The Libyan Civil War began with an aptly-named 'Day of Rage' on 17 February 2011. Protests took place in the cities of Benghazi, Ajdabiya, Derna, Zintan, and Bayda, with protesters torching government buildings after clashes with police, who fired on crowds with live ammunition. The next day, police and army units withdrew from Benghazi and Bayda, driven out by the violent demonstrations. These eastern cities, long a center of opposition to the Gadhafi regime, had been deprived of development and state funding for years, leaving them with crumbling infrastructure and high unemployment. Thus, the region was primed to act as a center of resistance to the government.
Libyan rebels fight government forces during the Civil War [The Telegraph]
After the withdrawal of government troops from the cities, significant chunks of the military defected, with soldiers bringing their guns to the opposition. In Bayda, police and army units deserted en-masse. Inspired by the east, protests soon spread throughout Libya's major cities, with the Tripolitanian cities of Misrata and Zawiya falling on 24 and 26 February respectively. On 27 February, a group of ex-regime officials, tribal leaders, businesspeople and exiled opposition figures calling themselves the National Transitional Council (NTC) formed in Benghazi. What had begun as a protest movement was now a revolution.
Gadhafi's response was characteristic of his increasingly erratic rule. He made numerous claims about the opposition movement, claiming that they were al-Qaeda sympathizers, puppets of the UK and France out to get Libyan oil, and even that the young people in the streets were high on hallucinogenic drugs that al-Qaeda had snuck into the country's drinks and food. He alternated between promising to grant amnesty to rebels who surrendered, and denouncing his opponents as "rats" and "cockroaches" who needed to be annihilated.
It was this type of rhetoric – along with the brutal repression of peaceful protests and a government offensive that reclaimed several rebel-held cities and edged towards the rebel 'capital' in Benghazi – that sparked serious international concern. Within a few days of the beginning of the revolt, British Prime Minister David Cameron urged the UN to enforce a 'no-fly zone' over Libya, meaning that the UN would ban planes from flying in Libyan airspace under threat of being shot down in order to prevent arms smuggling and Libyan airstrikes against civilians. Meanwhile the United States, followed by Canada, positioned naval ships off the Libyan coast.
Voting in the UN Security Council [The Guardian]
By mid-March, France had recognized the NTC as the legitimate government of Libya, while both the NTC and nine Arab states had called for a no-fly zone to be created. Now with regional support, the UN Security Council passed UNSC Resolution 1973 on 17 March. Written by the UK, the resolution was ambitious, with potentially wide-reaching language. The Security Council imposed a no-fly zone and, importantly, empowered member states to use "all necessary means" to protect civilians. NATO, with the UK and France leading the charge, would enforce this no-fly zone. Critics of NATO decried the humanitarian intervention, which they claimed was a cover for regime change and the seizure of Libyan oil reserves. Still, NATO pushed forward, with airstrikes hitting Libyan air-defence systems and armoured units south of Benghazi. NATO took full control on 31 March, commanded by a Canadian, Lieutenant General Charles Bouchard.
With Western support, the NTC and allied forces began to steadily roll back the government's remaining loyalists, making gains throughout the country. Most of the rebel army was not composed of professional fighters. Rather, with Libya awash in weapons from Gadhafi's near-obsessive habit of stockpiling armaments, neighbourhood, tribal and other community groups commonly called the shabaab (meaning 'lads') armed themselves and joined the rebel forces as independent brigades. These volunteer units were largely inexperienced and poorly equipped. Instead, the most effective rebel units were drawn from former military forces or Islamist militants, some with links to al-Qaeda. While this worried some actors in the West, who saw them as a potential threat, NATO expanded support for the opposition and intensified their air campaign in May, using the "all necessary means" clause of their UN mandate to justify regime change.
NATO involvement continued to increase over the course of 2011 and rebel forces consolidated control over eastern and central Libya. While Zawiya fell to government forces in June, rebel fighters continued to push towards Tripoli. Throughout the war, Gadhafi relied on military units commanded by his family members and foreign mercenaries rather than the disintegrating national army. These forces committed mass atrocities against 'traitors', leading to reprisal killings by the rebels against suspected loyalists. On 20 August, with Tripoli surrounded, rebel forces mounted a two-day assault with extensive NATO air support and seized the city.
With the capital under rebel control, the war's outcome appeared inevitable. Most of Gadhafi's family members fled the country, although Gadhafi himself escaped to his hometown of Sirte, which was still under his control. The rebels spent several months mopping up the remnants of government forces, capturing Gadhafi himself on 20 October. While the NTC's leadership wanted Gadhafi to be tried for crimes against humanity in a Libyan court, the soldiers who captured him instead summarily executed him after beatings and humiliation. With hindsight, this unilateral action by certain rebel units can be seen as a warning sign for the troubles that would follow the downfall of Gadhafi.

Everything We Learned From The First Champions League Group Games
Posted on 20th September 2018 by SEOADMIN
Football fans were rushing home from work on Tuesday to get in front of a screen ready for this season's first Champions League games. And what a start it was!
Under the weeknight floodlights footballers seem to do their best work, especially in Europe's biggest competition. Last year saw a cracking Ronaldo overhead kick sink Juventus, before Gareth Bale pulled off another in the final; Roma dumped Barcelona out of the competition with a late winner, and Liverpool went on an incredible run, their front three scoring 10 goals apiece, knocking out favourites Manchester City in the process.
From the opening games we already have plenty to talk about, so let's get underway:
Inter Milan V Spurs
Inter Milan have fought their way back into the Champions League after a stint away, and were drawn up against Spurs, a team that managed to beat Real Madrid to top of Group H last season but have lost their last 2 league games on the bounce.
Spurs actually played the game very well, taking control of the game and taking the lead through a deflected Erikson shot. But then, up stepped the Inter Milan captain: in his previous season Mauro Icardi scored 29 goals across all competitions, all from inside the box. His goal against Spurs to make it 1-1 will be one that goes down in Champions League history. A perfectly crafted first time volley from a big out-swinging cross from the left was buried in the side netting and inspired Inter to make the comeback and win the game, taking all three points at home.
Liverpool V PSG
European football returning to Anfield is a special night for the Liverpool faithful. This was also the matchup that the neutrals were eager to watch: last years runners up against one of this year's favourites. Both teams have a very exciting front three who love to score, so goals were expected tonight, and fans were not disappointed.
PSG have world class players, but once again are shown not to be a world class team as they had to show a lot of respect to The Reds in the way they lined up. Goals from Sturridge, filling in for Firmino who was on the bench as he recovers from his eye injury sustained in the Spurs game at the weekend, and James Milner's penalty saw Liverpool take a deserved lead as they dominated proceedings and managed to stifle the lightning fast counter attacks from Neymar, Mbappe and Cavani.
A seemingly unambitious PSG managed to work their way back into the game to make it 2-2. And it seemed Mbappe had sealed a point for the travelling French fans who were in fine voice, before Firmino, on for Sturridge in the second half, managed to spot the bottom corner with his one good eye before rifling a shot in.
