The iconic competitive FPS is still going strong today with Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. Though CSGO has undergone significant changes over its lifespan, it's still very much the core Counter-Strike experience that revolutionized the multiplayer FPS genre in the 2000s. The standard mode of play is a five-on-five demolition-style match on carefully crafted maps that emphasize specific positioning, sightlines, and team strategies. But beyond that, there's a hostage rescue mode, gungame free-for-all, and tons of custom content from years of work by its player base.One of the most exciting things about CSGO is the high-intensity competitive matches where the slightest mistakes could spell doom for your team, or clutch plays could drastically shift the momentum of a match. Counter-Strike has historically been played with a level of precision in both the FPS combat and in its tactics, which makes a bit of a steep learning curve for newcomers. However, this classic game can be wildly rewarding, which you can see from its massive competitive scene. Recently, Valorant has adopted the Counter-Strike formula to great effect, but the high-stakes tactical combat of CSGO is still in a league of its own. https://www.gamespot.com/gallery/best-pc-games/2900-4143/

CES, or the Consumer Electronics Show, is one of the biggest tech trade shows in the U.S., which means it’s one of the best places to get an idea of the future of technology. You can preview products long before they hit store shelves, which can often make it hard to find new products that are available to buy now. I headed to CES to find the best new products as well as gadgets you can actually order today. Below are new and exciting products across tech home, kitchen, wellness and more. New products from CES 2024 that are available now We focused on products that are available for purchase or pre-order today. Products you can pre-order ship in January, February or March. If you miss the days of smartphones with physical buttons, this phone case may be for you. It is a silicone case that plugs into your phone and has a physical, backlit keyboard at the bottom. You can use the physical keyboard instead of your iPhone’s traditional touch keyboard. The case has a pass-through port at the bottom, so you can still charge your phone while using it. iPhone 14 Pro models ship in February, 15 Pro in March and 15 Pro Max in early spring. Anker debuted a bevy of charging devices using the new Qi2 standard, which promises faster charging rates and a secure magnetic hold while charging. This one doubles as a portable power bank, with 6,600mAh of battery while you are on the go. It charges with USB-C, just like the latest iPhone 15. https://www.nbcnews.com/select/shopping/ces-2024-best-products-buy-now-rcna133153

For much of the 21st century, software development has been an attractive career option. Now, however, there are perceived threats on the horizon as new tools seem set to fill the software development skills gap. Generative AI models are evolving quickly with the ability to generate functioning code from a few text prompts. Meanwhile, no-code and low-code tools and services — which offer people with minimal or even no development skills the ability to design and mani[CENSORED]te their own software applications — are becoming more sophisticated and widespread. Gartner predicted in 2021 that, by 2025, as much as 70% of new applications will be developed using low-code or no-code technologies. Generally speaking, these technologies are more likely to augment how software development is done than completely displace this work, but their adoption could still see some unwelcome changes from the sector’s heyday. Software developers may be expected to do more with less, and early-stage workers may be seen as less valuable and replaceable by anyone with basic skills who can leverage these new automations. Small companies with smaller budgets may even lean more on no-code tools and generative AI and be less likely to create new opportunities for developers. In other words, while software developers are still needed, demand may not continue to grow at its previous pace, and this may come with a decrease in salaries and benefits as the market becomes less competitive. But there are ways software developers can continue to secure high-paying roles as their career evolves. 1. Learn a high-paying language Not all programming languages are created equal. Some are more commonly used, and some are in higher demand in the job circuit. According to Indeed, the highest-paid programming languages are Java, C#, JavaScript, Python, C++, SQL, Rust, Scala, and Elixir. Each of these will have different applications and use cases, so developers can select the language best suited to the industry they’re interested in. It’s also important to be familiar with a range of supporting frameworks. This software developer role in Union Tank, for example, requires several years of practical experience with Java alongside knowledge of po[CENSORED]r Java frameworks such as Spring, Hibernate, and JavaServer Faces. 2. Learn to work alongside AI AI will have a significant role to play in the future of software development, so familiarity with new generative AI tools and how they intersect with the work of software development is essential. This C++ developer role at Websale, for example, involves working with tools such as ChatGPT and CoPilot. Those who stay ahead of the curve and learn how to best harness these tools, rather than rail against them, are likely to become the new standard-bearers of the sector. 3. Specialise in cybersecurity According to an analysis of the average salaries of cybersecurity specialists recorded by the Economic Research Institute, 10 of the top 15 highest-paying countries for cybersecurity jobs are in Europe. At the top of the list is Switzerland, where the average salary in cybersecurity is more than $150,000 per year. Security software developers need to add highly specialised skills to their development knowledge, but this is a career investment that could pay off massively in the long run. According to the World Economic Forum’s most recent Future of Jobs report, cybersecurity is a key growth area with a widening skills gap. 4. Take the reins with product management Bill Gates started his career as a software developer. Though he founded Facebook before he even finished college and started a career, Mark Zuckerberg’s entrepreneurial roots are certainly in software development. The trope of the software-developer-turned-entrepreneur continues today, and, if becoming your own boss and leading your own business is something you’d like on your career roadmap, consider a pivot to product management. These roles are often considered as ‘mini CEOs’ because of their broad base of skills, deep product knowledge and involvement, and cross-departmental interactions. That journey can begin in a software development role where you take the lead on common product management practices. For example, this senior Java developer role in SMA Solar Technology includes managing Agile development teams. 5. Develop your leadership skills Experience is highly valuable in the job market, but it can only come with time. To accelerate your salary progression, you’ll need to demonstrate that you aren’t just a team player, but a team leader. As with any career, team leads and heads of development will earn more than the employees reporting to them, and skillful leaders are scarce. Leadership and social influence are among the top rising skills cited in the World Economic Forum Future of Jobs report. Of course, with a salary often second only to the CEO, the top position to aim for is CTO. Start with taking on senior development roles with more responsibility for project delivery and mentorship, such as this C# role at Moldino Tool Engineering. You can also seek out positions at companies that will support your continuing professional development. For example, Mazars advertises its development and training opportunities and financial support for relevant qualifications in this posting for a cloud software developer.

I’ve researched the subscription-based hardware market for many years. I have the firm belief that: The storage infrastructure most naturally fits the subscription model. The server/VM ecosystem could fit but doesn’t as much. The major difference between these is that the storage vendors own the respective storage stack — hardware and software. It’s relatively easy for storage vendors to take on that cost and sell it via subscription. I am not underestimating the capital involved in that process. In contrast, the server vendors such as Dell, HPE, and Lenovo own just the hardware. The important ingredient — server virtualization software — comes from infrastructure software vendors like Citrix, Microsoft, Red Hat, and VMware. VMware, undeniably, holds the lion’s share in this virtualization market. Unless the vendor that front-ends deals is willing and the entire stack is available via subscription, the server subscription market will be stagnant. The Subscription Server Market Briefly Saw New Possibilities At the end of calendar year 2023, this market witnessed a growth catalyst. Broadcom/VMware announced that its software will be available as subscription-only. It raised hopes and possibilities for server vendors to build a subscription bundle. They would develop a back-to-back agreement with VMware and develop offerings based on it. This news could fuel growth in the subscription-based server market. But that hope fell flat on its face as Broadcom announced another change to its resellers program. Server vendors are no longer the distributors for VMware infrastructure software. As a result, Dell terminated its VMware reseller agreement. This means all server vendors that were once a major distributor/reseller of VMware software will now have to go through designated VMware distributors. The details of the new program are not public yet. Server vendors face more challenges and risks than they did in the past. What will be the result? Server vendors will have to front-end deals, underwrite (or buy insurance for) the subscription business, and assume risks. Would Broadcom be interested in taking on recurring revenue risks in partnership with server vendors? I believe that it’s not likely given Broadcom’s modus operandi. Server revenue will decline on account of lost VMware licenses — a significant drag on top-line and bottom-line revenue. What Does The Future Look Like? Server vendors have been facing challenges, as businesses have been migrating/moving to the public cloud where hardware is rarely provided by these same vendors. Server vendors have two possible paths: Join the larger distributors as resellers and settle with a lot lower margins. Explore alternatives to VMware hypervisor (and other infrastructure software) to stay in the game. What Do You Think? I am looking forward to publishing a few research reports on this market situation very soon. If you are a server vendor exploring future possibilities and wanting to discuss, submit an inquiry request. If you are a VMware customer and need to discuss the strategic options, please reach out so we can talk. https://www.forrester.com/blogs/2024-a-bittersweet-beginning-for-the-subscription-hardware-business/

In a speech marking the Prophet Muhammad’s birthday last month, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi warned critics not to hold protests on January 25, the fifth anniversary on the 2011 po[CENSORED]r uprising, saying a new revolt could destroy the country. “Why am I hearing calls for another revolution? Why do you want to ruin [Egypt]? I came by your will and your choice, and not despite it,” Sisi told the hand-picked audience of politicians, media pundits and members of Egypt’s newly elected parliament. KEEP READING list of 4 items list 1 of 4 El-Sisi sworn in for third term as Egyptian president list 2 of 4 Turkey and Egypt call for ceasefire in Gaza list 3 of 4 Turkey’s Erdogan, Egypt’s Sisi meet in Cairo list 4 of 4 Turkey’s Erdogan arrives in Egypt for first visit in more than a decade end of list Sisi’s words, greeted by a roar of applause, revealed the regime’s fears that another po[CENSORED]r uprising may be brewing.After the Spring – Egypt: 5 Years On As Egypt nears the fifth anniversary of the uprising that ended three decades of Hosni Mubarak’s rule, analysts and activists say the regime is imposing a “reign of terror” to deter people from marking the day. Security forces have stepped up their crackdown on activists: On January 7, police arrested three administrators of Facebook pages allegedly promoting anti-government protests on January 25. Four journalists, along with members of the April 6 Youth Movement, have also been arrested. In addition, earlier this week, security forces conducted mass searches of flats, primarily in downtown Cairo near Tahrir Square, the heart of the 2011 protests. Hundreds of Egyptian revolutionaries and regime opponents are already behind bars, and the religious establishment has described those calling for a new round of January 25 protests as “weak believers who carry extremist ideas”. “The spirit of the January uprising continues to pose a threat to the regime, despite the fact that none of the known revolutionary forces actually called for protests, to my knowledge,” Khalil al-Anani, a political science professor at the Doha Institute, told Al Jazeera. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2016/1/24/is-another-revolution-brewing-in-egypt

The Egyptian jackal, which may have been the inspiration for the Egyptian god Anubis, is actually not a jackal at all but a member of the wolf family. New genetic research in the open-access journal PLoS ONE finds that the Egyptian jackal is Africa’s only member of the gray wolf family. The new wolf, dubbed by researchers as the African wolf, is most closely related to the Himalayan wolf. “We could hardly believe our own eyes when we found wolf DNA that did not match anything in GenBank,” lead author, Dr Eli Rueness, said in a press release. GenBank is an open-access nucleotide database. The genetic data also points to an early origin for the Egyptian jackal/African wolf. In fact, researchers believe the animal is older than well-known wolves of the northern hemisphere. According to the study, Indian, Himalayan, and the new African wolf, broke off from the gray wolf before it moved north, colonizing Europe, northern Asia, and the Americas, further subdividing into different subspecies. Ethiopian wolves, which are a unique species of canids, are older still. Long suspected by some biologists, genetic research has shown that the Egyptian jackal is actually a wolf. The study does not appear to make a recommendation whether or not this new wolf should be considered a unique species in its own right or another subspecies of the grey wolf (Canis lupus). Currently, gray wolf subspecies number in the thirties, and distinction between species and subspecies continues to be debated for a number of them. However the new African wolf is classified, researchers argue the discovery must change how the animal is viewed in conservation. The authors call for the African wolf to be assessed individually, especially considering evidence that the animal is rare. The animal is not protected in Egypt and is often persecuted as it is considered a threat to livestock. In good news, the researchers discovered that the African wolf, previously Egyptian jackal, is actually present in the Ethiopian highlands, expanding its known range considerably. “This study shows the strengths of modern genetic techniques: old puzzles can be solved,” Nils Chr. Stenseth, Chair of the Centre for Ecological and Evolutionary Synthesis (CEES) and an author of the paper, says. Citation: Rueness EK, Asmyhr MG, Sillero-Zubiri C, Macdonald DW, Bekele A, et al.

GB Ghabbour Auto has begun cooperation with India’s Bajaj Auto Company to manufacture some components of tuk-tuks and motorcycles in the Egyptian market. Chief Investment Officer of GB Ghabbour Auto Menatalla Sadek told Daily News Egypt the company expects to begin construction of the “tuk-tuk” and motorcycles factory in March or April. The company is awaiting the government’s unified automotive manufacturing law to determine the local components proportion of vehicles such as cars, tuk-tuks, and motorcycles to make a full inventory for the factory. CEO of GB Auto Raouf Ghabbour announced in November 2015 the new factory’s production capacity will be 120,000 tuk-tuks and 120,000 motorcycles per year and that production capacity could be increased. Sadek said the company has entered into negotiations with a factory specialised in tyre manufacture to bring this technology to Egypt. According to previous statements by Sadek, the estimated cost of manufacturing tuk-tuks, motorcycles, and tyres will be about $300m. The company succeeded in raising its capital by EGP 1.2bn last year to collect the remaining finances through banks. Sadek ruled out an operational suspension of GB Auto factories re-occurring, like that of late September until October 2015 when operations were halted for 20 days due to the lack of dollars to purchase production components. The company is keen on collecting a good stock of foreign currency to avoid banks’ delay to provide dollars for a period of three weeks to a month until it can open a documentary letter of credit to purchase the production inputs. https://www.dailynewsegypt.com/2016/02/13/gb-ghabbour-auto-to-start-manufacturing-components-of-tuk-tuks-motorcycles-locally/

She haunts ancient Egyptian graveyards, co-hosts a Portuguese podcast called “Three Egyptologists Walk Into a Bar” and keeps a miniature mummy in her office. Last fall, Luiza Osorio G. Silva joined UC Irvine as an assistant professor of art history specializing in pyramids, sphinxes, pharaohs – and a splash of beer. Early Egyptians drank lots of ale, she says. They also believed statues were able to live and breathe after a ceremonial knife was used to open their mouths. “Art in Egypt was not just art,” Silva notes. “Statues of gods were considered living gods, and the verb for sculpting one translated to ‘birthing’ rather than ‘making.’” Originally from Brazil, Silva traces her fascination with the land of the Nile to watching mummy movies with her dad as a kid. And when she was 5 or 6, the family traveled to England and visited the British Museum’s Near East collection and giftshop – from which Silva returned with a small metal coffin and a figurine that she wrapped in gauze and placed inside. Today, the makeshift mummy rests on a shelf in her office. Armed with Egyptian archaeology degrees from Brown University and the University of Chicago, Silva has researched everything from “magical bricks” found in old tombs to how royalty was perceived by average citizens. She’s also involved with a trio of Middle East excavation projects. One of Silva’s goals is to demystify early Egypt for the general public and show its relevance to modern times. In 2022, she and two other scholars launched a Portuguese podcast called “Tres Egiptologues Entram num Bar” that uses pop culture portrayals of Egypt as a hook to introduce scientific studies of the civilization’s past. A spinoff book club discusses Egyptian-themed novels by the likes of Agatha Christie and Ellery Queen. In a similar vein, Silva’s UC Irvine classes have students create a virtual art museum exhibit, a podcast or a historical character study as a final project. Her inspiration for the assignments was a Brown University course in which she had to make a Facebook profile for an Egyptian queen named Ahhotep. As part of her presentation, Silva concocted Nile Valley parodies of modern slang and idioms. Instead of YOLO (“You only live once”) and “I love you to the moon and back,” her glossary featured YOLF (“You only live forever”) and “I love you to the land of the dead and back.” OMG was replaced by OMA, for “Oh, my Amun,” a famous old-world god. And #drinkbeer was a key hashtag. Hiring an Egyptologist is part of the art history department’s ongoing effort to expand its geographic and chronological depth, says James Nisbet, who chairs the program. Although the department has long included Egyptian art and architecture among its broad history classes, Silva’s courses – such as “Pyramids and Power” and “Imagery of Violence” – are the first Nile-centric offerings. Fittingly, her office is sprinkled with Egyptian kitsch, including a serpent-handled coffee mug, an itty-bitty pyramid and a fake papyrus painting of goddesses on a boat. “I have more at home,” she says. And, of course, Silva is ready to hold forth on all manner of Egypt arcana and trivia, from the 1922 discovery of King Tut’s tomb (a media circus) and creepy mummification methods (brains were removed through the nostrils) to maddening myths (no, the pyramids weren’t used to store grain) and her favorite beverage (karkadeh – hibiscus tea). When asked about the Bangles’ 1986 song “Walk Like an Egyptian” (a phrase that also turns up in the movie version of To Kill a Mockingbird), Silva pulls out artwork depicting a man with one crooked arm stretched forward and the other reaching back. Pointing out that his head faces sideways, but his eye faces the viewer, she says, “It’s not because Egyptian artists didn’t understand perspective. We think they were simply trying to show the most recognizable parts of whatever they painted. In this case, the eye is more recognized frontally.” As further evidence, she displays a second piece of Egyptian art – an aerial view of trees around a rectangular pool, except the trees look like they’re lying flat on the ground, and the fish and ducks in the pool are likewise seen from the side instead of from overhead. Silva’s Egyptomania has spread to her parents, who were skeptical when she switched majors in college but now love to watch documentaries about the civilization. However, their daughter doesn’t join them. “Seeing a documentary reminds me of work,” she says. “I prefer a good mummy movie.” https://news.uci.edu/2024/04/15/bringing-ancient-egypt-to-life/

The IMD said the heat wave in Delhi and several other parts of north India will likely continue for another four days. A severe heatwave has gripped Delhi and several other parts of north India, with the India Meteorological Department (IMD) issuing a ‘red alert’ warning for Sunday, May 19.

During a press conference held on Monday Counselor Hazem Badawi, head of Egypt's National Elections Authority, announced the official results of 2024 Precedential elections which came as follows: Candidate Hazem Omar won second place in the 2024 presidential elections, with a total number of 1,986,352 votes, or 4.5% of total valid votes. Candidate Farid Zahran won third place in the 2024 presidential elections with a total number of 1,776,952 votes, or 4% of total valid votes. Candidate Abdul-Sanad Yamama got the fourth place with a total number of votes of 822,606 votes, or 1.9% of total valid votes, according to the National Elections Authority. The number of voters who participated in the elections reached 44,777,668 at a rate of 66.8% The number of valid votes in the elections reached 44,288,361, while the number of invalid votes is 489,307. Ahmed Bandari, Director of the Executive Body of Egypt’s NEA said in his speech that 2024 Egypt's elections was a 'great example' of elections that showed political and constitutional awareness, He added that the world witnessed unprecedented voting rates in Egypt's 2024 presidential elections. Bandari thanks all the judges, officials, governors and all participants in maintaining the conduct of the electoral process in a transparent and regular manner. Hazem Badawi, head of Egypt's National Elections Authority said that 2024 elections witnessed distinctive phenomena that included the participation of all segments of the society in the elections, highest voting percentage in the history of Egypt, no violations in the electoral process, and the diversity in the candidates and their programs. On December 15, Egypt’s NEA affirmed that no appeals were received from the four presidential candidates or their representatives as regards the decisions taken by the general committees on the voting process. Millions of Egyptians cast their ballots on 10-11-12 December domestically in thousands of polling stations nationwide. Ballot sorting at many polling stations has revealed that Sisi is leading the polls, while candidates Farid Zahran and Hazem Omar were competing over the second place. The 2024 presidential election is the fifth multi-party presidential elections that the country has witnessed in its modern history. The 2024 elections gain their importance from being a major step in the country’s path towards democratic transformation, party pluralism and political competitiveness. The election is held a year and a half since the launch of the National Dialogue, which included all components Egyptian political, union and civil society. The elections for citizens inside the country took place a few days after the three-day voting process for Egyptians abroad was concluded early in December.

In 2014, Jill Barton sold her home in Western Australia and flew to Egypt to rent a property, employ a vet and start a horse hospital. Eight years later, she says the hospital has helped thousands of horses and donkeys, and employs three vets to tend to an average of around 75 animals per day. "It certainly wasn't easy," Ms Barton told ABC Radio Perth Breakfast host Tom Baddeley. "I don't speak the language. It's a completely different culture." Originally from WA, where she rode polocrosse in Mukinbudin, Ms Barton felt compelled to start the hospital after a visit with her former partner to an existing equine rescue centre in Cairo in 2013. She said they were shocked by the number of animals that needed care their owners could not afford to provide. "I'm an animal lover and a horse lover," Ms Barton said. "It was really incredible, quite disturbing." "We just started by renting a property and we employed a vet. And then we created the charity back here in Australia — my ex-husband did that for me. And, yeah, we just kind of went from there. And it's just really grown." Ms Barton's charity, Egypt Equine Aid, is located at a rural site called Abusir, between Giza and Saqqara in the northern part of the country. She said there were many families in the area who lived in poverty and relied on working horses and donkeys for their livelihood but could not afford to pay for veterinary care — if it was available. The charity runs a hospital that treats horses with wounds from traffic accidents and diseases or ailments such as tetanus, strangles and colic. She said many of the animal owners were suspicious of the charity at first, but the hospital has since earned their trust. Ms Barton said some of the horses they treated were likely descended from around 10,000 Australian "Waler" horses that remained in the Middle East after World War I. "The legend goes that the soldiers shot their horses, [that] they didn't want to leave them behind, but it's not true," she said. "So in fact, we did leave 10,000 horses behind. We gave them to the British who sold them to the Egyptians a year later." Ms Barton says equine equipment from the World War I era is still in use today. "Anybody that goes to the pyramid area would see that those old war saddles are still in use today," she said. "They're obviously repaired over and over and over."

"Sometimes you see them have welding repairs done on them, but they've really stood the test of time," she said. In 2020, Ms Barton received a Medal of the Order of Australia for service to the welfare of equine animals. "I want to leave this legacy to the animals of Egypt," she said. She is currently visiting Australia to rally more support for the charity in this country. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-09-02/australian-woman-runs-horse-hospital-egypt/101395792

EGYPT, Feb 14: A tragic traffic accident near the coastal city of Alexandria in northern Egypt claimed the lives of 15 individuals and left seven others injured, according to a report from the Middle East News Agency (MENA). The Alexandria Security Directorate received notification from the Emergency Police regarding the collision, which took place in the Al-Amriya area on the desert road connecting Egypt to Alexandria. The collision involved multiple vehicles, resulting in fatalities and injuries. Upon receiving the report, security services and ambulances promptly responded to the scene of the accident. The deceased and injured were swiftly transported to a nearby hospital for medical treatment. Following the accident, the Traffic Department took measures to clear the scene and manage vehicle traffic in the area. Security authorities compiled a detailed report on the incident, which was subsequently submitted to the Public Prosecution for further investigation and legal proceedings. https://www.arabtimesonline.com/news/15-killed-and-7-injured-in-a-multiple-vehicle-crash-in-egypt/#google_vignette
