Attack on the US Capitol: Did the US Parliament (Capitol Building) Suddenly Attack?
12 Jan 2021 ( IBTN Bureau )
In the US capital Washington, many people are in awe of the kind of incidents which have been seen in the past. But those monitoring the online activities of ultra-right groups and conspirators had foreseen such a crisis.
On the very day Donald Trump was announced on the stage of the East Room of the White House, the day the votes were cast for the US presidency. He had said, "We are preparing to win this election.'' Clearly, we have won this election.
His address came an hour after his own tweet. He tweeted an hour ago, "They are trying to steal the election results."
Although he did not win the election. There was no victory that someone would try to steal. But the facts did not matter to his overzealous supporters and still do not.
After 65 days in America, a group of rioters destroyed the capital building of America on 06 January 2021. These rioters included a wide range of people, groups of extremist right-wing, online trolls and Donald Trump pro-Qinon people who believe that the world is being run by a group of pedophiles and Trump will teach everyone a lesson. These people also included members of 'Stop the Steel', a group of Trump supporters accused of rigging the election.
Nearly 48 hours after the riots in Washington's Capitol House (on January 08, 2021), Twitter began shutting down some of Trump's influential accounts, these accounts that were constantly promoting conspiracies and reversing election results. Were inciting people to take direct action. Not only this, Twitter also banned President Donald Trump's account after this. The reason behind banning Trump's account with more than 88 million followers is that his tweet threatens to create more violence.
The world is shocked by the violence in Washington and it seems that police and officers are nowhere in America. But it is not surprising for those who saw the link of this incident online and in the streets of American cities.
Election results can be affected, Donald Trump was saying this through his speeches and tweets months before the vote was cast. Even on election day, when the Americans started voting, the era of rumors started.
The Republican Party's polling agent was not allowed entry into the Philadelphia polling station. The video prohibiting entry of this polling agent went viral. This was due to a mistake in understanding the rules. Later this man was allowed to enter the polling station.
But it was included in the initial videos which went viral for several days. Along with this, a new hashtag '# Stop the Steel' was raised through other videos, photographs and graphics that the vote has to be rigged. The message of this hashtag was clear that Trump had won by a huge vote, but the powers in the power establishment were stealing the victory from him.
On Wednesday (November 4, 2020) in the early hours of the day when counting of votes was in progress and TV networks were three days behind the announcement of Joe Biden's victory, President Trump was accused of claiming victory. That the American public is being deceived. However, he did not provide any evidence in favor of his claim. However, it is clear from a study of earlier elections in the US that any disturbance in the counting of votes there is absolutely impossible.
By midday on November 4, 2020, a Facebook group called 'Stop the Steel' was formed which proved to be the fastest growing group in the history of Facebook. By the morning of November 5, 2020, more than three lakh people had joined the group.
Most of the posts alleged without any evidence that mass counting was being rigged, it was also said that thousands of people who have died have been cast. It was also alleged that the vote counting machine was designed in such a way that it was counting Trump's votes in Biden's votes.
But some posts were really more worrying, in these posts civil war and revolution were being described as essential. By the afternoon of November 5, 2020, Facebook removed the 'Stop the Steel' page, but by then the page had received over five million comments, likes and reactions. By the time this page was removed, dozens of such groups were ready.
The talk of stealing Trump's vote was spreading online. Soon, a website dedicated to 'Stop the Steel' was launched in the name of protecting votes. On Saturday, November 7, 2020, leading news networks declared Joe Biden the winner of the election. People in the stronghold of Democrats took to the streets to celebrate. But online reactions from Trump's overzealous supporters were displeasing and challenging the outcome.
These people proposed a rally in Washington DC on Saturday, November 7, 2020 as the Million Make America Great Again March. Trump also tweeted that he could try to stop it through the demonstration. Not many people had gathered at Trump supporter rallies earlier in Washington, but thousands gathered at Freedom Plaza on Saturday (November 7, 2020).
An extremist researcher called the rally crowd the start of a revolt by Trump supporters. When the convoy of trump vehicles passed through the city, the supporters vied for a glimpse of them. Trump was seen in front of supporters wearing the cap of 'Make America Great Again'.
The rally included members of the ultra-right group, anti-migrants, and members of the men's group Proud Boys who were carrying out violence in the streets and later entering the American Capitol Building. It was attended by the army, right-wing media and many people who advocated conspiracy theories.
As the night progressed, violent clashes broke out among Trump supporters and their opponents, in which an incident occurred five blocks away from the White House. Although the police was also involved in these violence, but it could be predicted from the days to come.
By now, President Trump and his legal team had set their hopes on dozens of legal cases. Although many courts have rejected allegations of rigging in the election, Trump's supporters online world, Trump's two lawyers Sidney Powell and L. Lynn Wood's expectations were tied up.
Sidney Powell and Lynn Wood had assured that they would prepare the rigging case in such an elaborate manner that Biden's declarations of electoral victory would come out as soon as the case came to light.
Powell is a Conservative Activist and a former Government Advocate. Powell told Fox News that attempts were being made to release Kraken. The mention of the Kraken comes in Scandavian folklore as a giant sea monster who sets out to eat his enemies.
After this statement, all kinds of mimes started appearing on the Internet about the Kraken, through which all the election rigging was being repeated without any proof. Powell and Wood emerged as a hero between Trump supporters and QNOn Conspiracy Theory supporters.
Those who believe in the QNOn Conspiracy Theory believe that Trump and his secret army are fighting against the Democratic Party, the media, business houses and pedophiles in Hollywood. The two lawyers became a bridge between the president and his conspirators. Most of these supporters were involved in the violence in the Capitol Building on 6 January 2021.
Powell and Wood managed to capitalize on the outrage of Trump supporters online, but legally both were unable to do anything special. Both of them prepared a 200-page charge sheet by the end of November 2020, but most of them were based on the Conspiracy Theory and this automatically rejected the charges which had been dismissed in court dozens of times. Not only this, along with the mistakes of the law, spelling mistakes and typing mistakes were also seen in this document.
But its discussion continued in the online world. Before the violence in the Capitol Building, 'Kraken' and 'Release the Kraken' had been used more than a million times on Twitter only.
When the court rejected Trump's legal appeal, extremist rightists began to target election personnel and officials. A Georgia election worker was threatened with death. Republican officials from the province, including Governor Brian Camp, Secretary-of-State Brad Rafsperger and Gabriel Sterling, in charge of the province's electoral system, came to be called online traitors.
Sterling issued a warning on December 1, 2020 about emotional and future fears. He said, "Somebody is going to get hurt, somebody is going to be shot, somebody is going to die and this is not right."
In early December 2020, Jacqueline Benson, Michigan's Secretary of State, was grooming a Christmas tree at her home in Detroit with her four-year-old son when she heard a commotion outside. Around 30 protesters were shouting 'Stop the steel' on the megaphone with a banner poster outside their house. One protester shouted, "Benson you are the villain." Another one said, "You are a threat to democracy." One protester was doing live on Facebook, saying that his group was here Is not going to be removed from
This example illustrates how the protesters were treating people associated with the voting process. Trump supporters in Georgia continued to drive with the Horns outside Rafensparger's home. His wife received threats of sexual violence.
Demonstrators in Arizona gathered outside the home of Katy Hobbs, the province minister of state (Democrat). These protesters were constantly saying, "We are watching you."
On 11 December 2020, the US Supreme Court quashed an attempt to dismiss the election results for the province of Texas.
As legal and political doors were closing in front of Trump, Trump supporters were becoming violent on online platforms. On 12 December 2020, the second rally of 'Stop the Steel' was held in Washington DC. Once again thousands of supporters gathered in this rally. It also included people from extreme right wing people, Make America Great Again and those involved in military movements.
Trump's former national security adviser Michael Flynn compared these protesters to biblical soldiers and priests who toppled Jericho's wall. The rally called for the 'Jericho March' to change the electoral outcome. Nick Fuenets, leader of the extremist right-wing movement Grow Purse, who described the Republican Party as moderate, told these protesters, "We are going to destroy the Republican Party."
Violence erupted during this rally as well.
Two days later (on 14 December 2020) Electrol College sealed Biden's victory. This is also one of the important steps required for the US President to take over.
On online platforms, Trump supporters began to see that all the legal avenues had been closed, so they felt that direct action was the only option to save Trump. After the election, Flynn, Powell and Wood, apart from Trump supporters, managed to rapidly place another person online.
Ron Watkins, the son of Jim Watkins, a US businessman and promoter of Imageboard 8Chan and 8Kun, emerged as a supporter of Trump on online platforms. In tweets that went viral on 17 December 2020, Ron Watkins advised Donald Trump that he should take the path of the Roman Empire Julius Caesar and use the military's loyalty to restore democracy.
Ron Watkins encouraged more than half a million followers to make Cross the Robican a tweeter trend. Julius Caesar started the war by crossing the Robikan River in 49 BCE. This hashtag was also used by mainstream people. It also included Republican Party leader Callie Ward in Arizona. In another tweet, Ron Watkins suggested to Trump that he should use the sedition law under which the military and other police forces are empowered after the president.
On 18 December 2020, Trump held a strategic meeting with Powell, Flynn and others at the White House. According to the New York Times, during this meeting, Flynn suggested Trump hold re-election under the military by applying martial law. After this meeting, negotiations started again between war and revolution in right-wing groups in the online world. Many came to see the joint session of the US Congress on January 6, 2021, which is a formality. But Trump supporters also expected Vice President Mike Pence.
Vice President Mike Pence was scheduled to preside over the January 6, 2021 event, with Trump supporters hoping Mike Pence would ignore the Electrol College votes. It was being said in the mutual discussion of these people that after that, the President will deploy the army to deal with any kind of rebellion and will order the arrest on the large scale of the election riggers and sent them to the army prison of Guantenamo Bay. Will go. But all this was happening among the Trump supporters in the online world, it seemed impossible to be on the ground truth. But Trump supporters turned it into an agitation and thousands of people reached Washington on January 6, 2021, traveling together from across the country.
A long convoy of vehicles carrying trumped flags had reached the city. Pictures of the convoy of vehicles from cities such as Louisville, Kentucky, Atlanta, Georgia and Sacramento were also seen on social platforms. "We are on the way," one person tweeted, posting a picture with about two dozen supporters. A man in the Ikea parking lot of North Carolina wrote with a picture of his truck, "The flag is a little dilapidated but we Calling it a battleground.''
But it was clear that Pence and the other important leaders of the Republican Party would act according to the law and allow Biden's victory to be approved by Congress. In such a situation, poison was also spewed against these people. Wood tweeted for him, "Pence will face trial for treason and be in jail. He will be hanged by the firing squad.'' There was growing resentment in online discussions among Trump supporters. People started talking about guns, war and violence.
Such things were present in other places besides social platforms like Gab and Parlor popular with Trump supporters. At first the members of the Proud Boys were writing against the police force and later against the officers as they realized that the support of the officers was no longer available.
The website 'The Donald' which is popular among Trump supporters. On this website, Trump supporters were openly discussing the breaking of police barricades, possession of guns and other weapons, violations of Washington's strict laws regarding guns. Nonsense was being talked about on this website till the uproar in the Capitol Building and the arrest of 'traitor' members of Congress.
On Wednesday, January 6, 2021, Trump addressed a crowd of thousands at Ellips Park, south of the White House, for more than an hour. He said in the beginning of his address that if you talk peacefully and patriotically, he will be heard. But coming to an end, he said with a warning tone, "We have to fight with all the power, if we do not fight with the full power, you will lose your country." So we are going. We are going to Pennsylvania Avenue and we are going to the Capital Building. ''
According to some analysts, the fear of violence in those days was quite clear. Michael Chertoff, who was the interior security minister during the tenure of former US President George W. Bush, blames the Capitol Police for the violence that day. The Capitol Police had also turned down an offer to help the National Guard.
Michael calls it the biggest failure of the Capitol Police, saying, "As far as I can think, what else would be a big failure." During this time, the possibility of violence was already known. Frankly speaking, it was also natural. If you read the newspaper, you are aware that in this rally there were people who believed in the rigging of the election, some were extremists, some were violent. People had openly appealed to bring guns.
Even after all this, Americans like James Clarke, a 68-year-old Republican supporter of Virginia, are amazed at the January 6, 2021 incident. "It was very sad," he told the BBC. I didn't think anything like this would happen.''
But the possibility of such violence remained for several weeks. Extremist and conspiratorial groups believed the electoral outcome was stolen. In the online world these people were constantly talking about weapons and violence together. It may be that the police officers have not taken the posts of these people seriously or have not found them suitable for investigation. But now the accountable officials will have to face the stinging questions.
Joe Biden will be sworn in as US President on 20 January 2021. Mike Chertoff is expecting the security force to deploy far more efficiently than on 06 January 2021. However, violence and obstruction is still being said on social media platforms. In the midst of all this, questions are also being raised on social media platforms that why did these people allow the Conspiracy Theory to reach millions?
Following the violence of six January 2021, on 08 January 2021, Twitter deleted accounts of Trump's former advisors Flynn, Kraken Theory lawyers Powell and Wood and Watkins. After this, Trump's account has also been closed.
The arrest of people committing violence in the Capitol Building continues. However, most of the rioters are still present in their parallel world where they are creating facts according to their convenience. Following the violence on 6 January 2021, Donald Trump issued a video statement in which he acknowledged for the first time that the new administration would take over on 20 January 2021.
Trump supporters are still giving new explanations after watching this video. They are comforting themselves that Trump should not give up easily, he should struggle. Not only this, there is also a theory of Trump supporters that this video is not only about Trump, it is a computer generated fake video. Trump supporters are also apprehensive that Trump has been taken hostage. However, many fans of Trump are still confident that Trump will remain President.
There is no evidence of any of these things, but it does prove one thing. Whatever Donald Trump's, the people who committed violence in the American Capitol Building are not going to calm down in the coming days, it is certain.

Q: Telerik Winforms ChartView: How to choose a different background color for a chart label I'm using Telerik WinForms, the lastest version.
I have pie chart, 1 series with 4 datapoint and assigned a custom palette with 4 colors (red, green, orange and blue), only first fill color, no additional setting. This works well so far. I also want to display the according labels. This works also, but all the labels have the same background color as it corrensponding data point/segment. That I would like to change.
When I don't use any palette than each segement has its own color but the all the labels have white background.
Is there a way to change the background color of the labels?
There is no way for me to switch any other than winforms.
Also if there is no way of doing it, I would like to know.
If you need more information and/or screenshots please ask, it would be no problem.

A: I asked the same question in Telerik forum and they provided a working answer. It can be found here http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/winforms/chartview/how-to-choose-a-different-background-color-for-a-chart-label.aspx

This inspection took place on the 20 and 21 June 2018 and was unannounced on the first day. The inspection team consisted of two inspectors.
Before the inspection, the provider completed a Provider Information Return (PIR). This is a form that asks the provider to give some key information about the service, what the service does well and improvements they plan to make. We reviewed previous reports and notifications that are held on the CQC database. Notifications are important events that the service has to let the CQC know about by law. We also reviewed safeguarding alerts and information received from a local authority.
During our inspection we spoke with seven people, five relatives, the manager, deputy manager, turn around manager, five care staff and the chef. We reviewed seven care files, three staff recruitment files and their support records, audits and policies held at the service.

I'm not familiar enough with bind to be sure why.


The new version of the law on the bar is a blunt instrument of primitive political or career struggle for leading positions of the bar self-government, for the right to accept thousands of lawyers to the bar, and the right to determine without the Congress of Advocates to whom to give quotas to the HQCJ and the High Council of Justice.
The bar reform, provided for by the draft law No. 9055, did not take place this year.
This is the most stalled component of judicial reform. Work on the new rules for the bar within the Council on Judicial Reform began in 2015, but only in September 2018 the finalized draft law was submitted to the Parliament. The status of an urgent legislative initiative did not help the accelerated adoption of the law. Blitzkrieg did not succeed because of the resistance of the bar community, which is quite noticeable, in spite of all the trying to replace or oppose the entire bar to individual legal parties tandem with public organizations and authorities. It's impossible to circumvent the current law, and it grants the right to vote on behalf of the bar community to the Ukrainian National Bar Association (UNBA) and ensures the representativeness of the regions through public resolutions of the bar councils of the regions. And this vote should be counted as "against."
In the last plenary days of the past year, the Parliament has not yet reached the consideration of a new version of the law "On the Bar and Advocacy". The draft law has been prepared for voting from the end of November, but this was prevented, in the first place, by its consideration by the National Agency on Corruption Prevention, and subsequently - the absence of the required 226 votes and, in general, discipline in the hall on the last working days of December. This is good not only for the opponents of the draft law but also for its supporters since the situation allows them to avoid the dangerous label of a lobbyist of the corruption-friendly draft law.
I think that even voted in violation of some Rules of Procedure of Verkhovna Rada, the draft law would not be adopted in the first reading. Why? Because most of the coalition and opposition fractions have publicly opposed the bar reform in the version of the Judicial Reform Council. Many speakers of fractions and committees talked about the inadmissibility of reducing the instrument to protect the rights of citizens and the arbitrariness of law enforcement agencies, as well as the danger of the plans of some high-ranking officials to establish full control over the justice system, where only the bar remains a truly independent institution. The Committee on Corruption Prevention and Counteraction pointed out the corruption risks of the draft law, and the Vice-Speaker Oksana Syroid defined all the novelties on the bar self-government as federalization, feudalization, and corruption.
Within 4 months of its submission to the Parliament, the draft law lost its reformist European elegance after the failed collateral arrangements and devastating people's deputies' statements (such as Tetiana Chornovil). This legislative initiative is not about the adaptation of European standards and practices, although there are the names of two Council of Europe experts included in the history of its creation."
"The new version of the law on the bar is a blunt instrument of primitive political or career struggle for leading positions of the bar self-government, for the right to accept thousands of lawyers to the bar, and the right to determine without the Congress of Advocates to whom to give quotas to the HQCJ and the High Council of Justice. The most active supporters of the draft comprise a short list of newly elected heads of regional chambers of the bar, regional bar councils, the Higher Qualification and Higher Disciplinary Bar Commissions and other bodies. The closer the Congress of Advocates on the election of representatives to the supreme bodies of the judiciary, the more obvious becomes the true scenario of future changes, envisaged by draft law No. 9055. Some officials, in order to "resign" successfully, decided to establish control over the bar under, apply to the HCJ, and even lead this body. After all, the bar's quota is a constant, it does not depend on the results of the election, in contrast with the changing fate of the representatives of the HCJ from the parliament and appointed by the President. This "reformatory" scenario is not implemented with honest methods. Searches in the premises of a bar council of a western region, the suspicions presented to several advocates working in self-government - this is not an accident and no merit of law enforcement, but organized provocations to defame the existing bar.
Small parliamentary break and New Year's holidays create a convenient pause, and I once again urge supporters of the draft law to consider all the risks and at least postpone its progress. The bar is fine with living without reform for another month and a half. Why is this approach constructive?
First, the organization of the Congress, the election of delegates, and the holding of conferences will show whether the existing law concerning bar self-government is good or bad. Objectively, the system is built democratically and provides adequate representation of the profession. I urge lawyers to actively participate in meetings and conferences that have already started. All the skeptics are welcome to observe the process, it's completely public.
Secondly, the Congress, as the highest body of the bar self-government, on behalf of all the regions of Ukraine, will be able to assess the draft law No. 9055 and define the vision of the bar reform, authored by the entire legal profession, and not several Kiev conservatory offices. If the opinions of regional bar councils and the Bar Council of Ukraine are not authoritative or representative enough for someone, then let's look at the atmosphere at the congress.
Under the current law, it's possible to organize it on the principles of adequate representation of the regions. The new law will make it impossible for advocates to organize themselves in order to defend themselves. This pessimistic scenario is good only because the closer to the start of the parliamentary election campaign, the less likely it is.

As part of my rediscovery of web development, I've kitted myself out with a whole new set of tools. There's some really great tools out there and things have certainly improved since I proudly designed a "Made with Notepad" icon for my garish homepage back at uni.
I thought I was a C++ developer. That's what it says on my CV and that's mostly what I've been doing at work for the past 5 years. But ever since I discovered the internet on my first day in the computer lab at university I've wanted to do something interesting on the web. Back then I had more than enough resources, and they were free, but I didn't have the time to invest in my freely provided webspace (http://www.warwick.ac.uk/~maune IIRC). I had the ideas (mostly based around Countdown) but I was too busy drinking beer, learning "real" programming and drinking beer.
What's new is the prominent use of these techniques in real-world applications to change the fundamental interaction model of the Web. Ajax is taking hold now because these technologies and the industry's understanding of how to deploy them most effectively have taken time to develop.
Hopefully I'll learn some interesting stuff along the way - and I won't have to write a single line of C++.

Q: how to find inverse point in a complex plane How to find the inverse point of the point z=a with respect to the circle $|z-c|=r$ (where c is the origin and r the radius) ?
$c+\frac{r^{2}}{a-c}$
this is the answer given in the book...how do we get it

A: Start by noting that the inverse point of $a$ wrt the unit circle centre the origin is $1/\,\overline{a}$. Hence the inverse point of $a$ a circle radius $r$ centre the origin is $\frac{r^2}{\overline{a}}$. Now we have to translate that to a circle centre $c$. Relative to $c$, the point $a$ is $a-c$, so we want $c+\frac{r^2}{\overline{a-c}}$.

A: If $z_0,p,q$ are collinear points, where $z_0$ is center of circle with radius $k$, $q$ lies outside the circle, and $p$ is inverse point of $q$ which lies inside the circle, then $$p=\frac{z_0+k^2(q-z_0)}{|q-z_0|^2}$$
$$P =\frac{z_0+k^2(q-z_0)}{(q-z_0)(q-Z_0)}$$
$$P=\frac{z_0+k^2}{q-z_0}$$


Though automatic by nature, automated marketing technology still requires a degree of monitoring. This explains why it's critical for marketers to manage these systems.
The advent of marketing automation has created an ironic business dilemma. On one hand, the most appealing thing about automated marketing technology is its automatic functionality. By definition, these technologies should require minimal human intervention. On the other hand, it seems as if the complex nature of this technology demands a hands-on approach to installation, followed by additional expert assistance.
The premise is simple – leverage insanely intelligent software as a service (SaaS) technology to automate mundane or routine tacks. Invest in these platforms to enable real-time segmentation, personalization, and dynamic messaging. Enjoy these advanced and complex offerings and watch your team become more efficient, do more with less people and enjoy more strategic roles. However, the reality is another story.
Most of today's marketing automation technologies are powerful and completely capable of fulfilling their promises to take your programs to the next level. But this only happens after they are installed, up, and running. More often than not, getting these systems in place requires a fairly large investment of incremental people. Also once it's live, your automated technology will still require additional support in order to get the most out of its advanced abilities. At the end of the day, you don't see headcount savings; you see incremental spending and budgets shifting.
David Daniels and his team at The Relevancy Group recently conducted a study – The Relevancy Ring: Email Agency Buyer's Guide – 2015 – analyzing a number of companies that support brands lacking in the staff or expertise to create and run strategies around their email marketing technologies. While I think it's fantastic that these companies offer such a valuable service, I also recognize the irony of this situation. In order to effectively streamline everything, as well as simplify and improve marketing efforts, you have to hire companies to assist with running the technology you invested in.
Today, quality marketers are also coordination gurus. Strong marketers must have the ability to effectively manage multiple extensions of their own team in order to drive the most powerful results.
Gone are the days of the support services for the sake of answering the occasional question. Today's support services are strategic. They literally have the power to make or break your results. To ensure you get the most out of the team, choose them wisely, get them on board, and refer them to the most reliable and experienced members of your team.
Know that bringing on a new technology means you will also have added support expenses. You will also need to put forth the necessary time and energy to set up the system and train those who must use it. You need to keep everyone laser focused on the deliverable. Don't cut corners. Don't try to do it yourself. Most importantly, do not allow your chief financial officer to cut the allocated dollars. In the end, the investment will be well worth it.
As our world continues to change, we must continue to accept every new nuance as an opportunity to redefine who we are as brands, marketers, and all around smart managers.
