Arab Spring's Bitter Fruits
This is what Libyan democracy looks like.

[](/sites/default/files/uploads/2012/09/libya-embassy-attack.gif)"As-Salamu Alaykum. My name is Chris Stevens, and I am the new U.S. ambassador to Libya. I had the honor to serve as the U.S. envoy to the Libyan opposition during the revolution, and I was thrilled to watch the Libyan people stand up and demand their rights. Now I'm excited to return to Libya to continue the great work we've started."
Thus begins a State Department propaganda video, complete with Middle Eastern music and Arabic subtitles, aimed at establishing that the U.S. government holds a friendly disposition toward the Libyan people. The feeling isn't mutual.
Tuesday, on the 11th anniversary of 9⁄11, Middle Easterners outraged by the existence of an obscure anti-Islamic film called "Innocence of Muslims," stormed the American embassy in Cairo and the consulate in Benghazi. The man behind the movie, identifying himself as Sam Bacile, told the Wall Street Journal that he hoped his film would show "Islam as a hateful religion." Muslims rebutted this portrayal by attacking foreigners who had nothing to do with the motion picture. In Libya, a mob armed with guns but not a sense of self-irony killed four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens, an idealistic Berkeley grad who fell in love with North Africa after an '80s stint in the Peace Corps. The Barbary Coast-barbarians parading the American ambassador's corpse around like a trophy are the people the American government aided to overthrow their government.
This is what democracy looks like?
In the Middle East, the enemy of our enemy isn't necessarily our friend. But the State Department occasionally regards the enemy of our allies as our friends. As the Ayatollah Khomeini engineered the ouster of the Shah in the late 1970s, the U.S. ambassador to Iran helped the unholy man's ascension, which Jimmy Carter reflected bitterly upon in his memoirs. William Sullivan, hired by Carter after showing insolence to the Johnson administration as ambassador to Laos during the Vietnam War, apparently surprised the president by treating him as he had treated his Democratic predecessor. The 39th president noted that Ambassador Sullivan "had been carrying out some of my directives half-heartedly, if at all," and that "Sullivan thought we should not oppose Khomeini's take-over because his rule would lead to democracy." More than three decades after the Islamic Revolution dashed the hopes of Western leftists such as Sullivan, a similar mindset, immersed in the hype and hope of the Arab Spring, swept the Obama administration, which apparently left the outposts in Cairo and Benghazi lightly defended.
So, too, are American principles. "The Embassy of the United States in Cairo condemns the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims," began a statement from the American embassy in Cairo. The statement continued, "Respect for religious beliefs is a cornerstone of American democracy. We firmly reject the actions by those who abuse the universal right of free speech to hurt the religious beliefs of others."
Religious freedom is certainly a cornerstone of American democracy. But so is freedom of speech. Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney picked up on the outrageousness of such a statement. "It's disgraceful that the Obama administration's first response was not to condemn attacks on our diplomatic missions, but to sympathize with those who waged the attacks," the presidential aspirant pronounced Tuesday night. Alas, both major presidential candidates supported the intervention in Libya.
So did the American ambassador who died as a result of it. Before he gave his life evacuating the consulate in Benghazi, Chris Stevens risked his life to help Libyans overthrow the regime of the brutal dictator Muammar Qaddafi. The ingratitude extended to Stevens by the beneficiaries of his diplomatic work should serve as a cautionary tale about the futility of extending good deeds to bad people.
Why pick a winner in a contest of losers?
Whether his actual outlook or diplomatic nicety, Stevens himself had publically contended that Libya headed in the right direction. "One of the things that impressed me when I was last in Libya was listening to stories from the people who are old enough to have travelled and studied in the United States back when we had closer relations," the slain public servant announced on the State Department video. "Those days are back." No, they're not.

Building Bridges Where Dragons Watch Over: Ljubljana The Secret City
September 20, 2018 /0 Comments/in Europe, Slovenia, Travelogue /by allan
Even though I've been exploring Slovenian back roads and far off the beaten track in Bela Krajina, I'm only about one hundred kilometers from Ljubljana Slovenia's capital. I ride through scenic Metlika, get caught up in traffic in Novo Mesto, and in less than two hours, I'm in the capital.
But something is wrong with my bike. Doc is overheating again. Cruising through the city streets, it's slow, and there's no air circulating through my radiator. The warning light glares at me. This annoys me. I'm worried. Not again. I still need to replace the swing arm bearings, now I have to deal with another overheating problem.
It doesn't take long to find an apartment for the night just a few blocks from the city center and Ljubljana old town. After securing my bike, I take off on food to learn about this once medieval city and the rich history and stories it can tell.
I've been to the most admired and visited cities in Europe: Barcelona, Lisboa, Paris, Berlin, Rome, Florence, London, Vienna, Prague, Budapest, Copenhagen, and more. Hardly anyone mentions Ljubljana. And that's fine with me. After just one day in this once Roman outpost and medieval crossroads, I realized I didn't allocate enough time. I'll be back. It's rich in history, ripe with energy, rift in uniqueness, and ready to explore. Sometimes smaller means better. It deserves more than one day. I'd like to keep it a secret, so I can return and dig deeper into the experience that stung me with wonder.
Once marshland, Ljubljana's first inhabitants lived in elevated pile dwellings. But it was the Roman's who found the strategic geographic position of the city to be a perfect military outpost of its sprawling empire. They soon realized the beyond the military, Ljubljana's position also provided the ideal trading crossroads to the between the Adriatic in the west, the Alps to the north and eastern Pannonian planes and Danube river.
The Roman period lasted about five-hundred years, and during the medieval period, the city served as a stopping point for Crusaders. During this period they fortified the city with walls and rebuilt the castle that sits high on a hill overlooking the city today.
In the early fourteenth century, a massive earthquake destroyed much of the city. They rebuilt the town with Venetian-inspired Baroque architecture popular at the time. After another devastation earthquake in 1895, they commissioned architect Jože Plečnik to design and build several iconic buildings and bridges that today serve as the distinctive identity to the city.
To cross the Ljubljanica river that winds through Ljubljana and divides much of the old city from the modern city, I have a choice of several iconic bridges. In the pedestrian zone of the old city, I cross the Triple Bridge. Between 1929 and 1931, to stave off congestion from vehicular traffic, architect' Plečnik's changed the 1842 Italian design double arch bridge to include two new pedestrian bridges angled off either side of the bridge. He also added decorative lamps and massive stone balustrades. Today the bride serves as one of Plečnik's signature designs and marks a focal point for his impact on the city's architecture.
Ljubljana is compact, clean, and easy to navigate. I find another iconic bridge, Dragon Bridge where four infamous dragons protect the city—these dragons appear on the Ljubljana Coat of Arms and are symbolic protectors of Ljubljana. Still, yet another bridge, Cobbler's Bridge which at one time was outside the walls of the medieval city and during that time cobbler's would sell their wares outside the city to avoid paying tax.
Another Plečnik design is the National and University Library. Built between 1936 and 1941, and closed to the public. Plečnik based his design on the Zuccari Palace in Rome but includes several hints of Plečnik's prone to incorporating his own message through symbolism. For example, just inside the main entrance a dark black marble staircase lined with thirty-two black marble columns takes visitors to the main reading room on the second floor. This room features massive windows that bring light into the space. For Plečnik he saw education and knowledge as the true path from ignorance to power, and as visitors climb through the darkness of the stairs upon reaching the top, they are bathed in light—rising out of the darkness of ignorance into the light of enlightenment. Construction completed in 1941 and the library was one of the few buildings not damaged during WW II.
The city features several major plazas or squares including Presernov or Prešeren Square at the heart of the town and once the entrance to the walled city. The square is dominated by the difficult to miss pink Franciscan Church at one end and the Plečnik's Triple Bridge at the other. In the center is a monument, not to a war hero or political figurehead, but to a poet and the namesake of the square, France Prešeren. This harks to what I believe the Slovenian people's aversion to political conflict and violence.
With just one day to wander this city and my mind preoccupied with motorcycle problems, I wind my way from one square to the next. I pass by the building home to the oldest philharmonic orchestra in Europe, the building where Josip Broz Tito delivered his infamous speech pledging the new era of socialism and communism, and the hospital where he died in 1980.
I walk through the outdoor Central Market and pass the Plečnik designed three-hundred meter long market building that runs from Dragon Bridge along the river to Triple Bridge. Soon night falls on the city, and I fall into a restaurant. The dramatically lit Ljubljana Castle looms above me as I enjoy a table at a modest restaurant under the stars while sipping a glass of a rich Slovenian red wine.
After dinner, I saunter along the river just a few hundred meters from the center to the Suklje Wine Bar—owned by Matija and his family who I met in Bela Krajina a few days ago when filming for the Slovenian television show. Matija's sister Katja with her French-born husband Guillaume operate the venture.
The Suklje Wine Bar sits on the river with several outdoor tables and a handful of indoor tables and offers a wide range of wines, cheeses, cured and smoked meats, and other treats that pair perfectly with the wine offerings. Both Katja and Guillaume are scientists, and they know plenty about the science of making wine. They also know the importance of story, romance, and emotion when it comes to enjoying—and selling wine.
The place is packed, the outdoor tables are packed with customers when I arrive. So I stand at the bar inside and chat with the servers. Soon Katja and Guillaume show up and with perfect timing as one of the outdoor tables becomes free. Our conversation is like a wild motorcycle journey, winding its way from science to travel and wine and food.
The family opened the wine bar just a year ago. So far, business is good. We're sipping a refreshing rose and nibbling on local cheese. Guillaume talks about biodynamic wine and what he feels hypocrisy that so many wineries are using it not because they believe in the idea, but for marketing. The Biodynamic Farming and Gardening Association defines biodynamic farming as "a spiritual-ethical-ecological approach to agriculture, gardens, food production and nutrition."
While there are undoubtedly passionate proponents of natural and biodynamic wines, there are many skeptics. My new friend and scientist Guillaume is one. "So you say your wine is biodynamic and you sell for more money because people like the story," he tells me referring to the emotion and mystery connected to wine by some people. "Can you imagine selling biodynamic wheat, do you think anyone would pay more for wheat that is farmed biodynamically?" I wonder if they'd pay more for a loaf of bread made from biodynamic wheat. It's a stretch, I don't think so.
There's mysticism with biodynamic practices. Farmers will buy cow horns packed with manure under a full moon. Phases of the moon dictate planting, harvesting, and to some farmers and connoisseurs, the best time to drink the wine. Guillaume thinks this is crazy. While farmers have been paying attention to the moon for hundreds of years—think Farmer's Almanac—but the idea that tasting wines on certain days impacts flavor and experience began when Maria Thun devised a calendar based on the principles set by biodynamic founding father, Rudolph Steiner. She took it further and applied signs of the zodiac marking days when the moon enters Sagittarius, Aries, and Leo as fruit days, and when entering Libra Aquarius and Gemini as flower days and opening that wines will taste better on these days. Tasting on "Root" or "Leaf" days, when the moon moves into Scorpio, Pisces and Cancer, and Virgo, Capricorn and Taurus accordingly. But a "scientific" tasting and test held in New Zealand in 2017 proves this theory wrong.
But it is these types of theories, mysteries, and ideologies that give wine drinkers experiences they perceive to transcend logic. When you are dining in a place where the wine and food all sprouted from that place tantalizes your palate—and your brain—you have this experience and allow the notion that this is extraordinarily special. But if you buy a wine from a place where you had such an experience and take it home—it never tastes the same. Mystery, romance, and emotion trump science, common sense, and rationale—especially when it comes to food and wine. Yet isn't that what wine buyers hope for—an experience that transcends?
Katja brings a plate of thinly sliced pork that was first smoked and then air dried, some mountain cheese, and a basked of the famous bread from Bela Krajina belokranjska pogaca. Pouring from inside the tasting bar is American music from the fifties and sixties, including Buddy Holly, Marvin Berry, Elvis, and others, while the dull roar of other guests chatting in Slovenian and clanking wine glasses buzzes the mild evening air with energy.
We talk about how so many things that we may identify as a custom, tradition, or religious rite are things that were done for specific regions. For example, hundreds of years ago people cured and smoked meats for sanitation, not for flavor. Today, we aggrandize such preparations and processes. Yet the fact remains that so many traditions are the result of purpose rather than design.
Both of my hosts are matter of fact and yet wine lovers alike. "This is a Refosco," Katja tells me as she pours me a fruity red from Istria in the western part of Slovenia. They feel the notion of terroir is less understood in the new world than even the trend of biodynamic and organic wines. "It's more technical," Guillaume insists, "the earth, soil, and climate. All with little human intervention. But most people don't get it." The idea of terroir, that these natural elements make a difference and impact the wine to the degree that most people could identify it as a natural expression of the place.
We wind down the evening with a glass of the Suklje Blaufränkisch or Modra Frankinja made from grapes on the hillside vineyard I visited just days ago. It's deep, viscous, and packed with fruit. I laugh and explain that due to the television crew and packed schedule, I had to leave my glass half finished. I appreciate the time now, with Katja and Guillaume just "chewing the fat" and talking about wine—this gives me a chance to savor the wine while enjoying time with new friends slowly. The perfect way to wind down a cool night in a new city—soaking in the thrill of my exploration.
The next morning I climb the hill to the castle which I find shrouded in fog and eerily quiet. I wish I could stay another evening, but someone else booked my room, and it's time to move on.

Q: Proving Vector Identities: a · b = 0 and x + (x · b)a = b If $\vec{a} ·\vec{b} = 0$ and $\vec{x} + (\vec{x} · \vec{b})\vec{a} = \vec{b}$, find the vector $\vec{x}$.
By transposing I have got $(\vec{b} - \vec{x})· \vec{b} = 0$.
Apparently the answer is : $\vec{x}= \vec{b}-(|b|^2)\vec{a}$

A: $$\vec{x}+(\vec{x}\cdot \vec{b})\vec{a}=\vec{b}$$
Taking dot-product with $b$ throughout,
$$\vec{x}\cdot \vec{b} + (\vec{x}\cdot \vec{b})(\vec{a}\cdot \vec{b})=|\vec{b}|^2$$
We know that $\vec{a}\cdot \vec{b}=0$. Hence
$$\vec{x}\cdot \vec{b} = |\vec{b}|^2$$
Substituting back in the first equation,
$$\vec{x}+(|\vec{b}|^2)\vec{a}=\vec{b}$$

What you got by transposing was correct. If you expand that, you get
$$|b|^2-x\cdot b=0$$

A virtual world is a world without excuses. No one forgets important documents back at the office when their desktops are virtually accessible from anywhere on any device! In cases where data must remain secure, virtualization provides the same level of efficiency to data protection as it does to data access. As your company grows, new employees quickly ramp up to a productive mode by skipping the hours or days of setup, configuration, and aggravation and, instead, shift focus from their tools to their tasks.
Controlling desktop configuration and cost using a variety of methods is frustrating and often times yields no results, but desktop virtualization promises to be much more effective. Instead of maintaining individual desktops—operating system and core applications—on several hundred PC's, IT would manage just a few desktop images in the datacenter.
End users would share access to those master images over networks using a virtual display protocol.
Hardware costs—on virtual desktops, unlike physical versions, OS and Application updates and revisions rarely require new hardware.
Compliance and data security—PCs running virtual desktops contain no data, so information remains secure even when hardware is lost or stolen.
IT productivity—virtualization lets IT solve client problems at the datacenter, not one at a time at the PC.
Growth—new desktops are available instantly to new employees or partners anywhere in the world, for agility and performance at scale.
Resilience—central management and protection of virtual desktops and data will help withstand disasters and recover quickly when they occur.
Virtualization is more about shifting a mindset than actual computing resources. It can be intimidating to leave the familiar but with newfound time and money… think of the possibilities! Think beyond what is.
Instead of running a local copy on each user's desktop, you create a common image and store it on one or more servers in the datacenter. A hypervisor then deploys the image to a server. A hypervisor is a layer of software that lets you run several OSes simultaneously on a common computer while maintaining isolation between the different OSes.
You can rapidly deploy a common, supported desktop environment across your network. Create a single Windows desktop image and use that image to deploy virtual machines (VMs) on your server hypervisor. A single server can support many virtual desktops. Each of these desktops reacts as a standalone Windows desktop. Users connecting to a virtual desktop can have full access to all features of that VM without impacting the other virtual desktops or the host server.

SAUDIA Inaugurates New Operations Building at KAIA – New headquarters to also serve as home to the Middle East's largest operation control center
By eat December 26, 2022 No Comments3 Mins Read10 Views
Saudi Arabian Airlines (SAUDIA), the Kingdom's national flag carrier, inaugurated its new SAUDIA Operations building at King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah.
The building, which boasts state-of-the-art infrastructure and technology, was inaugurated in a ceremony by His Royal Highness Prince Badr bin Sultan bin Abdulaziz, the Deputy Governor of Makkah, and His Highness Prince Saud bin Abdullah bin Jalawi, Governor of Jeddah. The ceremony was attended by His Excellency Eng. Saleh bin Nasser Al Jasser, the Minister of Transport and Logistic Services and Chairman of Saudi Arabian Airlines Corporation and His Excellency Eng. Ibrahim Al-Omar, Director General of SAUDIA Group; along with members of SAUDIA's Board of Directors, various KAIA officials, and members of the media.
Using a mock-up of an aircraft engine throttle, HRH Prince Badr signaled the inauguration of the highly equipped building which is set to serve as a key enabler of the Saudi Aviation Strategy, under the Kingdom's broader National Transport and Logistics Strategy. The new building will also support SAUDIA in its efforts to make KAIA a global hub.
Built entirely by Saudi Airlines Real Estate Development Company (SARED) over an area of 50,000 square meters, the two-story building can accommodate more than 1,100 employees.
The building is situated near the far side of the airport, providing both pilots and cabin crew members with easy aircraft access. It is a proper mini terminal, complete with AI-powered self-boarding kiosks and five luggage carousels, as well as about 15 meeting rooms for preflight cabin crew briefings.
"We are eager to see the new SAUDIA Operations building help make our flight services, which span over 100 destinations in four continents, more punctual and efficient than ever before," said Al-Omar. "The new infrastructure is not only equipped with innovative technologies that put us right on the leading edge of the world of aviation, but also easily meets the needs of SAUDIA and other stakeholders throughout the airport."
The new operations building consists of multiple departments, including its extensive Operations Control Center. It is the largest center of its kind in the Middle East and the 12th largest globally. As SAUDIA's beating heart, the center coordinates between the group's business lines, communicates with aircraft via its state-of-the-art facilities to ensure control of its operational plans, and tracks air traffic across all domestic and international airports in real-time. It has been designed to bring every sector directly involved in flight operations under one roof to streamline communication and ensure seamless implementation throughout. The building also features captivating wall-to-wall displays that depict all currently operating aviation systems.
The building also features an Emergency Response Center. This fully equipped hall utilizes the latest integrated systems to analyze contingencies and fast-track decision-making.
The building also features a safety and quality assurance department that oversees the day-to-day operations of all concerned airport entities. The department is tasked with issuing technical recommendations to maintain operational safety, which has always been a hallmark of SAUDIA's brilliant safety track record.

We loved the location being nearby a beautiful beach and nice walks, and all the tasteful surroundings and comforts of the villa. The rooms were spacious, beds very comfortable, internet was fast and the living room and kitchen well equipped for a great staying. We also loved our host Frank who was not only very knowledgeable of almost everything we enquired and always willing to assist, but all his suggestions from food places to activities, were spot on! Highly recommended!
We spent 4 glorious days (it felt like a week it was so relaxing) at Cretan Mansion and it was simply awesome! We holidayed with family friends, 7 adults and 7 children (aged from 3-8 years).

Q: Configure javafx-maven-plugin to create jar file without version number I cannot stop my javafx-maven-plugin to insert the version number into the jars file name. I tried to set finalName to "${pom.artifactId}" but that doesn't help.
What can I do?
    <plugin>
      <groupId>com.zenjava</groupId>
      <artifactId>javafx-maven-plugin</artifactId>
      <version>8.1.4</version>
      <configuration>
        <mainClass>application.Main</mainClass>
        <jfxAppOutputDir>${project.build.directory}</jfxAppOutputDir>
        <finalName>${pom.artifactId}</finalName>
      </configuration>
      <executions>
        <execution>
          <id>create-jfxjar</id>
          <phase>package</phase>
          <goals>
            <goal>build-jar</goal>
          </goals>
        </execution>
      </executions>
    </plugin>

A: It is an old question, but:
1.Insert final jar Name in this way:
   <build>
        <finalName>your.customname.without.versionNumber</finalName>

2.Edit javafx-maven-plugin configuration, add this inside the configuration tag:
     <jfxMainAppJarName>${project.build.finalName}.jar</jfxMainAppJarName>

The complete configuration should looks like this:
<plugin>
    <groupId>com.zenjava</groupId>
    <artifactId>javafx-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>8.8.3</version>
    <configuration>
        <jfxMainAppJarName>${project.build.finalName}.jar</jfxMainAppJarName>
        <mainClass>com.my.amazingapp.MainClassName</mainClass>
        <vendor>The Tiger Programmer</vendor>
        <manifestAttributes>
             <developer>Me</developer>
             <contact>me@company.com</contact>
        </manifestAttributes>
    </configuration>
</plugin>

Now if your finalName is "MyAmazingProject", after you run mvn clean jfx:jar you will find a file MyAmazingProject.jar under

/target/jfx/app/MyAmazingProject.jar

This jar is a executable jar with Manifest Info.

I'm really mixed about my feelings when it comes to the second issue of Books of Magic. There are a few things I really liked about this issue, but one I very much disliked. And, overall, the issue seemed a bit thin.
Tim Hunter starts to learn about magic from the book he received from Rose in the last issue. I like the appearing and disappearing words. I enjoy the pages in which the book's lettering serves as panels between the main action. And I enjoyed the interaction between Tim and his classmates, who mock him, not realizing that his magic is real.
The one thing I really didn't care for was Tim picking a magic wand, and choosing a screwdriver. This series has to avoid going too Harry Potter, and in my eyes the magic wand could have been dispensed with. Even the Books of Magic point out that there are other ways for Tim to focus his power. Yes, the screwdriver is kind of clever, and certainly not a wooden wand with a dragon's wing inside of it. But the wands are just so important in Harry Potter. Every time Tim waves his screwdriver I am going to wind up thinking about Harry and his wand. Perhaps that was intentional. I just don't feel it was a wise choice.
Still, it's not a game breaker for me. As I mentioned, this one seems a bit thin. Tim goes off to find his mother, and though that doesn't lead anywhere it takes up about half the issue.
I'm still a fan of the book. I just hope the next issue will be better.
