After ISIS's seemingly unstoppable nine-month rise, the group is being turned back in Iraq. The Iraqi army, along with Shia militias and an international air power coalition, is retaking territory.
ISIS's successes relied in part on Arab Sunni support in western
Iraq. But ISIS made a mistake in approaching the city of Erbil, the
Iraqi Kurdish capital. The Kurds, who have an independent fighting
force, were able to stall ISIS's advance. Shortly after, the US
intervened with airstrikes.

Airstrikes don't usually work very well on terrorist groups, whose
strategies often depend on hiding among civilians. But ISIS is
different. It is obsessed with acquiring land, a key aspect to its
mission. The group seeks to establish a state, complete with justice,
governance, and, most important, territory. This obsession has left them
in plain sight for airstrikes.

Since the US airstrikes started last August, ISIS's territorial
ambitions have been significantly disrupted. The Iraqi army, the Kurdish
peshmerga, and Shia militias (which are often sponsored by Iran) have
been pushing them back. This is why many analysts are confident ISIS
will soon lose it territory in Iraq and once again end up where it
started a year ago, a delusional group of hardened warriors festering in
the chaos of a Syrian civil war

Other articles in the ‘difference between’ series: * The difference and compatibility between EV3 and NXT ( link ) * The difference between NXT Home Edition and NXT Education products ( link ) One robotics platform, two targets The LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 robotics platform has been developed for two different target audiences. We have home users (children and hobbyists) and educational users (students and teachers). LEGO has designed a base set for each group, as well as several add on sets. There isn’t a clear line between home users and educational users, though. It’s fine to use the Education set at home, and it’s fine to use the Home Edition set at school. This article aims to clarify the differences between the two product lines so you can decide which

The STM32 GPIO is blazingly fast and the built-in DMA controller looks powerful enough to handle high bandwidths. So having that in mind, we spent several months perfecting both software and firmware side and here is what we got in the end. Capturing the signals The main challenge when using a microcontroller like STM32 as a core of a logic analyzer is dealing with sampling irregularities. Unlike FPGA-based analyzers, the microcontroller has to share the same resources to load instructions from memory, read/write the program state and capture the external inputs from the G
