Fomenting Civil War in Egypt
by Eric Draitser
The killing of more than 50 peopleat a demonstration in support of ousted Egyptian President Morsi in Cairo on Monday has justifiably horrified many in Egypt and internationally. The pro-Morsi elements have placed the blame on the military forces, while the military claims it was attacked with live ammunition. While accusations are hurled back and forth, a new aspect to this story is emerging – the presence of a third force, namely snipers stationed on rooftops firing at both sides of the conflict. This revelation raises serious questions about the true nature of the conflict in Egypt and the disturbing similarities between this incident and similar ones in Syria, Thailand, and elsewhere.
The Cairo Massacre
As thousands gathered near the Republican Guard headquarters where many believe the Egyptian military is holding former President Morsi, violence erupted, killing at least 51 people and injuring hundreds. The bloody incident marked a clear transition from a purely political conflict to a potential civil war.
According to military officials, pro-Morsi "terrorists" attempted to storm the building, thereby eliciting a violent response from the military forces defending themselves. Colonel Ahmad Mohammad Ali, a spokesman for the Egyptian military claimed that police personnel were attacked while attempting to secure the area. He noted that, "They were on top of buildings…they either fired or threw things down…they were firing live ammunition and the military had to defend itself." Colonel Ali's comments have been echoed by most major media outlets in Egypt which are largely controlled by forces sympathetic to the military and the former Mubarak regime. However, the Muslim Brotherhood and other pro-Morsi forces paint a distinctly different picture.
A statement on the Muslim Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party website naturally blames the Egyptian military forces for wantonly killing what it describes as "peaceful protestors who reject the military coup and demand reinstatement of their elected President Mohamed Morsi." From the Islamist perspective, the massacre, as well as the coup itself, was a direct assault not only on the Muslim Brotherhood but on democracy itself. Moreover, the killings seem to have set the precedent that Islamist elements have no recourse in Egypt other than violence.
Despite the differences between these opposing factions, there is a common thread between them – both are blaming the other for inciting the violence that could lead to a total destabilization of the country. However, here it critical to note that the bulk of the killings on Monday took place at the hands of unknown snipers stationed on rooftops, as shown in this video.
Although the snipers appear to be wearing military uniforms, their actual identity remains unclear. Because it is impossible to verify exactly who the snipers were, and who they were working for, it is critical to instead examine the possible motives or lack thereof.
The military has claimed repeatedly that they were attacked and that the response was purely defensive. However, this cannot possibly explain the presence of military snipers on rooftops, no mere defensive posture. Conversely, the claim by the Muslim Brotherhood and allied supporters that the snipers were obviously Egyptian military does not seem consistent with the political circumstances, nor the facts on the ground.
First and foremost, it should be noted that the military stands nothing to gain and everything to lose from using such tactics. Having seized power in what can only be regarded as one of the most "popular coups" (not my term) in modern history, they already had the majority of the country and world opinion on their side. There was no worldwide condemnation of their actions, rather, governments seemed to be falling over themselves to "look forward" and "call for stability", both simply coded language for tacit support. So, with the world watching Egypt, carefully scrutinizing every move the military and secular opposition make, in what possible way could they stand to benefit from sowing such chaos? Naturally, they stood to gain nothing. Moreover, the notion that Egyptian military snipers would fire at their fellow soldiers is far-fetched to say the least.
Secondly, the Muslim Brotherhood and their supporters undoubtedly understood the impossibility of fighting the military on the streets. Whatever weapons sources claim they had (bottles, rocks, small arms) are certainly not enough to significantly impact the military. The notion that these demonstrators attempted to "storm" the Republican Guard headquarters seems laughable. Although the crowd was predominantly comprised of fervent supporters of the deposed President Morsi, they were still regular Egyptians, not militant Salafists or some such formation.
So it would seem that neither side really stood to benefit or had the capability to do what the other side is suggesting. That would then raise the most critical question of all…if the snipers were not part of either side, then who exactly were they? It would seem that the only logical conclusion would be that the snipers were from some as yet unknown third party whose interest was not in taking sides but in ensuring that violent clashes and killings would take place so as to stoke tensions and foment civil war. Keen observers will note that we have seen this scenario before, most recently in Syria.
The Syrian and Thai Precedent
At the outbreak of the violence in Syria in 2011, many wondered how the situation on the ground escalated so quickly. It would seem, according to mainstream Western media reports, that the Syrian security forces had simply gone mad and began killing peaceful demonstrators at random. However, what became clear within days was the fact that unknown snipers stationed on rooftops in cities such as Deraa and Hama were indeed the main culprits. As seen in these videos as well as countless articles, the presence of snipers on rooftops throughout Syria is undeniable. Naturally, the claim was immediately made that the snipers were merely Assad's military forces. Conveniently enough, no evidence was ever produced that showed the initial snipers were indeed government soldiers.
Interestingly, the Arab League observer mission, itself openly hostile to the Assad regime, noted in its report of early 2012 that many of the atrocities including sniper shootings, could be correctly attributed to a third, unknown force inside the country. As the report noted:
The Mission determined that there is an armed entity that is not mentioned in the protocol. This development on the ground can undoubtedly be attributed to the excessive use of force by Syrian government forces in response to protests that occurred before the deployment of the Mission demanding the fall of the regime. In some zones, this armed entity reacted by attacking Syrian security forces and citizens, causing the government to respond with further violence.
The report corroborates what many eyewitnesses have stated, namely that some of the violence that erupted at the outset of the conflict in Syria was attributable to this "third force" replete with snipers and military training and equipment. Predictably, the report attempts to spin the violence from the "third force" as being purely in response to the Syrian military, but provides no evidence other than a generic assertion that "undoubtedly [the violence] should be attributed to the excessive use of force by Government forces". Essentially then, it should be clear that there was some element inside of Syria during the early stages of the conflict that used snipers and other forms of violence and terror to push the opposition and government into full scale war. It seems to have worked quite successfully.
Syria is certainly not the only country that has experienced this sort of phenomenon. In 2010, violence erupted between the government of Thailand and red shirted supporters of US-backed former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra. Just as in Syria, mysterious gunmen armed with sniper rifles, machine guns, and grenades emerged within the ranks of the red shirts and began attacking Thai troops, killing a prominent Colonel and six other soldiers. The attempt to "storm" a military facility with protestors was clearly a cynically orchestrated cover for the fomenting of chaos and possible destabilization of the country with the intention of installing Washington's darling Shinawatra. Here again we see that snipers and other armed, unknown fighters were at the center of the incident.
What happened in Thailand was no mere accident. It required coordination and planning, financing and materiel support. This indicates that, contrary to the mainstream media's fantastical narrative, this was no mere political protest and should not be treated as such. Rather, as in Syria, we see a clear example of the lengths to which certain elements will go to achieve their political aims.
The details of the massacre in Egypt are still coming out, so it is impossible to say for certain exactly what happened. However, judging from previous experiences in Syria and Thailand, one should have reservations about the narrative being sold to the public. Who exactly were those snipers in Cairo? Who gave the order to fire at both pro-Morsi protestors and at the military forces? The answers to these and other questions must emerge with time. Hopefully, there is still a united and peaceful Egypt when they finally do.

The animal kingdom is divided into two groups based on whether or not a species has a spine: invertebrates do not have a spine and vertebrates do. Invertebrates (Invertebrata) make up about 95 percent of all species discovered until now. The Invertebrates exhibition, on permanent display in the Natural Sciences Pavilion, reflects the size and variety of the world of invertebrates.
Especially prominent, on account of its historical and scientific value as well as the sheer number of specimens, is the entomological exhibit. The 16,000 insects on display make up only a part of the full scientific collection, which is one of the largest of its kind in the Balkans. The insect exhibit comprises two parts: Insects of the Balkan Peninsula and Exotic Insects.
The exhibit Molluscs of the Balkan Peninsula features 80 representatives of terrestrial and freshwater molluscs of the Balkans, while the exhibit Molluscs of the World features approximately 50 species from the rest of the world.
Snails and shells of the Mediterranean, 182 species of them, are displayed in two showcases which make up the eponymous exhibit. The exhibit Aquatic, Terrestrial, and Parasitic Invertebrates features 55 species, while the exhibit Arthropods (Arthropoda) features 37 species of scorpions, crabs, and spiders.

Comeback Reunion 2022?
'Hustle' Reunion 2022 — Is It Happening?
By Bryan Murray
TV Watch January 22, 2021
'Hustle' named Greatest TV Show of all time
Hot January 21, 2021
Marc Warren Named Sexiest Actor Alive
Jaime Murray Pregnant?
Rumors of a Hustle reunion had the internet in a frenzy on Thursday (January 21) as reports claimed that BBC One confirmed a revival of the popular sitcom for 2022.
Can you believe it's been 16 years since Hustle first aired?! (16 years, 10 months, 29 days to be exact.)
Why in the world did Hustle end?
When Hustle came to an end after 8 years in February 2012, million viewers tuned in to say goodbye to Mickey Bricks (Adrian Lester), Stacie Monroe (Jaime Murray) and Danny Blue (Marc Warren). And since then, they have been itching for a reunion.
Would a Hustle reunion disappoint people?
Hustle aired from 2004-2012 and is considered one of the most influential TV shows ever on pop culture. Although no original episodes have been shot since, it has remained a regular feature on many station's schedules. But Murray said she's not sure if Hustle would work today. "I don't want to see old Stacie Monroe," she told a journalist (Murray turned 44 in July). "Everyone's going to have different vision of what the character is like, so to have that materialize is going to disappoint most people," she added.
Still hoping for a Hustle movie?
In a recent interview, Marc Warren said he can't imagine a Hustle reunion hitting the big screen. "I'd rather people go, 'Oh, please! Please!' than 'I can't believe you did that. It was horrible.'"
Co-star Kelly Adams (who played Billy Bond since 2009) has also previously explained, "It would be terrible to do something and have it not be good,". "It was so terrific ... If we did a Hustle movie and it sucked, then it would, you know, blemish it."
On the subject of whether there could be a Hustle film, Jaime Murray stated : "I think it's a bit of a case of 'the book is better than the movie'."
What about a Hustle reboot?
Recasting Hustle for a modern reboot. Hollywood is known for remaking remakes of films or tv series and the studios might think it would be great to bring the story back with a new set of characters.
Be it in the form of a Hustle reunion, a Hustle movie, or a Hustle reboot, if you had to start filming today, who would you cast in what role?

Gas pipeline at Zawtika to be replaced
November 13, 2018 by Thiha
The replacement of a gas pipeline at the Zawtika project, offshore of Myanmar, will be conducted to reliably supply gas to Myanmar, said Mr. Piya Sukhumpanumet, general manager of PTTEP Myanmar Asset.
Mr Piya was speaking to journalists during a media tour to Zawtika, located in block M-9 of the Moattama Gulf, Tanintharyi Region on November 6.
Myanma Oil and Gas Enterprise (MOGE) holds a 20pc stake in block M-9, while the remaining 80pc is held by Thai oil company Petroleum Authority of Thailand Exploration and Production International (PTTEP). .The latter is the operator of the project.
The daily gas production at M-9 Zawtika is 345 million cubic feet, of which about one third, or 100 million cubic ft is allocated for domestic consumption. The remaining gas produced – around 240 million cubic ft – is exported to Thailand on a daily basis, said Mr. Sayan Charoensook, Zawtika field manager.
From Zawtika, gas is channeled via a 300-kilometer pipeline – 230km offshore and 70km onshore- to Kanbauk, Tanintharyi. From there, gas is exported to Thailand and transported via a separate 200km, 20 inch-wide pipeline to Myainggalay in Kayin State.
However, the existing pipeline being used to transport gas domestically has deteriorated. As a result, the pipeline is no longer able to meet the daily domestic gas quota of 100 million cubic ft. Now, only 60 million cubic ft to 80 million cubic ft of gas is being transported to Myainggalay. As such, the pipeline will need to be replaced.
PTTEP has submitted its proposal to replace the domestic pipeline to the MOGE and are now waiting for the necessary approvals to proceed, Mr Piya said.
As it is a domestic pipeline, MOGE is liable for the cost of its replacement, while PTTEP will conduct the replacement work. The entire process of replacing the pipeline would take around two years, Mr Piya said.
Gas was first discovered at Zawtika in 2007 and production and sales commenced in 2014. The Zawtika natural gas project is a 30-year project, with 26 years remaining on the contract.
In drilling at the M9 offshore block, PTTEP is currently utilising 11 wellhead platforms. While there is sufficient gas being produced to meet the 100 million cubic ft daily gas quota for Myanmar, additional drilling plans will be carried out if that quota is increased.
"If an additional request is made for the gas requirement of the domestic sector, extra gas will be provided," Mr Piya said.
PTTEP is currently the third highest tax payer in the Myanmar oil and gas sector. The country receives income taxes and royalty payments from exports to Thailand.

I know were all Nuggets fans here but, do you guys really think we're gonna make tha post season next season?
Golden State just lost monta Ellis, but even with him I still see them declining from last season.
Blazers... I'm pretty sick of hearing about these guys :puke: They do have talent on there team, but lets all admit, they were a team that over-acheived last year. Now they have Oden, you really think a rookie Center (problley the tuffest position to come in and play as a rookie) can lead these guys to 10 more wins? These guys are un proven yet.
Unless one of our core guys gets injured wich I pray to tha good lord to prevent :pray: We will be in the post season.
Let me know what you guys think.... Please don't give me a homer answer. Keep it realistic.
Did you think that Hornets would make the playoffs last season ?
i can't give you a realistic opinion, becuase my opinion would be too biased towards the nuggets. I'm actually pretty ennoyed with the espn prediction, nuggets getting 33 wins... camby din't get us 17 wins...... no way..
I don't see how goldenstate will be better than the nuggets next year.. They don't have baron, and o monta ellis, their only scary players.. And even when monta comes back,.... they don't have baron..
But i don't know about portland.. honeslty i believe they have a lot of potential to become playoff contenders... let's face it they have alot of good young players,, who are good. and if they got 41 wins last year, and just added (PROBABLE) future ROY greg oden and MVP of the summer league.. things will only get better..
My predictions wil be it will be a fight between nuggets and portland for 8th spot, or suns or mavs go on the decline.
Are you saying theres gonna be another surprise team out of the West?
Yes i thought the the hornets were gonna make the playoffs, as did everyone else who watched the nba. They almost made it the season before without Peja, Tyson, and david west for extended periods of times.
As for our starting line up, hate to say it but AI isnt going to start at point, Chucky atkins is.
JR, Kleiza, Balkman, Carter, anderson will be the energy off the bench.
I think melo is better off muscling it out with power forwards and they are slower/ easier for him to guard. It also forces his game to work more on offensive rebounding, post moves and getting open for easy tres. Kleiza and chucky spread the floor to keep defenses honest.
um, i think the blazers will not pass us up, but they will pass the mavericks and take 8th spot, lol. we have 6th after phoenix falls cuz shaq is too old.
But seriously, camby is more of a PF, he is isnt huge (except tall) like other Cs and he has nothing to scare other Cs with. He will probably play better at PF imo.
We can finish in the 6th seed.
If AI plays his usual 42, JR gets 28, Melo gets 37, and K and Nene each get 30 minutes, then we have some serious high level NBA talent playing for 167 of our 240 minutes, leaving just 73 remaining.
And a third of that remaining 73 goes straight to LK, probably (24).
Of the remaining 49 minutes, about 30 are guard minutes and about 19 or 3,4,5 minutes. So we're looking at 20 minutes of Chucky, 10 of AC, and probably about 10 each to Balkman and the Birdman. (I'm just assuming here that Karl keeps not playing Hunter).
In terms of both offense and *real* defense, he's an upgrade over Camby - we're a better team. And I think 20 minutes of Balkman and Anderson should pretty effectively patch what we lost from Najera.
Chucky will be back so we'll have a much better shooter/distributor at the point than AC when he's in the game (albeit a lesser defender).
Okay, so we lost Camby and Najera.
We got Balkman and Andersen.
We'll have an improved Kleiza, and improved and fully re-habbed K-Mart, and a very improved JR for the entire season.
I think we're a better team right now than we were when we got swept by the Lakers. Or, at least, we should be a better team. The chemistry should be better without Camby just wandering all around. The offense should be better with a true post player and K-Mart's effectiveness increased in a better-spaced floor created by JR and Atkins. More JR = less midgets = true on-ball post defender = better defense.
I'm bored as hell with it right now, but I'm really hardly discouraged by this offseason at all.
Nuggets can be a surprise team by winning the conference. This prediction may sound too far fetched to some people, but, it is possible because Denver has the best team on paper in the western conference. The major problem is the number of turnovers, especially between Iverson and Melo. Melo leads the team in the # of turnovers followed closely by AI for a total of about 500 between them. The two of them have the highest turnovers between any two best players in any team in their conference last season, followed closely by Deron Williams and Boozer. Nash leads the conference in turnovers followed by Deron Williams. Hornets combo of CP3 and West were no match to AI and Melo combo in terms of performance (although CP3 was outstanding in # of steals and assists) but, their number of turnovers was much lower than that of AI and Melo, a factor that helped them win more games than the Nuggets.
Thus, if the Nuggets control their turnovers they will be on top of the conference.
not a nuggets guy, but i see GSW and LAC falling out of things quickly. just not enough fire power. portland will be a good team. home court for the first round. their youth will work against them. nuggets will go as far as kmart and nene take them. imo, that is a slim reed to depend on. don't see this version of the nuggets going very far. but hopefully for you, i am suprised.

Revisions to the Department of Commerce's Antidumping / Countervailing Duty Regulations: New Shipper Reviews
By Eric Emerson & Judy Wang on October 6, 2021
Posted in AD, CVD
The Final Rule published by the Department of Commerce ("Department") on Monday, September 20, 2021, makes certain modifications to the Department's regulations on new shipper reviews of antidumping and countervailing duty order. Among other changes, the new regulations increase the burden for parties requesting new shipper reviews by requiring more documentation supporting the sales under review and by requiring certifications from unaffiliated customers. These changes are intended to enhance the Department's ability to assess whether new shipper review requests are based on "bona fide" sales. Several of the more burdensome requirements contained in the proposed version of the rule, issued last August, did not ultimately survive the notice and comment process. Even so, the additional requirements imposed by this regulatory amendment will likely make it more difficult for parties to seek and obtain new shipper reviews, and could give the Department greater leeway in rejecting such requests.
Provided for by Section 751(a)(2)(B) of the Act, a new shipper review allows a foreign exporter or producer that did not export subject merchandise to the United States during the period of the original antidumping (AD) or countervailing duty (CVD) investigation, and is not affiliated with an exporter or producer that did export, an opportunity to obtain its own dumping or countervailing duty margin after it makes its first U.S. sale on an expedited basis. Regulations for new shipper reviews are outlined in 19 CFR Section 351.214.
A key concept in the "new shipper review" process is whether the sale under review is "bona fide." This analysis – which has long formed part of the Department's evaluation of new shipper reviews and which was codified in the Act by Section 232 of the Enforce and Protect Act of 2015 – evaluates whether a sale has been made under circumstances typical of normal commercial transactions in the industry. The Department developed this concept in order to prevent parties from obtaining their own AD/CVD margins on the basis of atypical sales activity.
But the determination of whether a sale is or is not "bona fide" is a highly subjective determination. As a result, the Department's determinations of whether sales are "bona fide" in the context of new shipper reviews have been subject to multiple challenges before the Court of International Trade. In particular, in the 2010s, the CIT remanded several of the Department's decisions to rescind new shipper reviews due to insufficient information to conduct a bona fide analysis, stating that the Department could have relied on facts available rather than full rescission of review.[1] The Final Rule seeks to facilitate the Department's assessment of "bona fide" sales by adding certain objective filing requirements that reduce this subjectivity, and thus, reduce the possibility for adverse judicial determinations.
Notably, however, certain of these new documentation requirements had already been introduced through statutory changes to the new shipper review provision of the Act. Specifically, Section 232 of the Enforce and Protect Act of 2015 amended the Act by adding a list of specific factors for Commerce use to assess whether sales were bona fide at Section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv). Several of those considerations are now included in the Final Rule. Thus, though certain of these factors had already formed part of Commerce's analysis of new shipper review applications for some time, they are now being codified in the regulations, likely to ensure consistency.
The Final Rule amends Section 351.214 by requiring the following additional materials, indicated in italics, as part of the application for new shipper reviews:
Additional documentation for new shipper review requests. In addition to the previous documentation required as part of the request for a new shipper review, listed in 351.124(b)(2)(v), the Department has added the following data requirements in italics, below:
(A) The date on which subject merchandise of the exporter or producer making the request was first entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption, or, if the exporter or producer cannot establish the date of first entry, the date on which the exporter or producer first shipped the subject merchandise for export to the United States;
(B) The volume of that shipment and any subsequent shipments, including whether such shipments were made in commercial quantities;
(C) The date of the first sale, and any subsequent sales, to an unaffiliated customer in the United States;
(D) The circumstances surrounding such sale(s), including but not limited to:
(1) The price of such sales;
(2) Any expenses arising from such sales;
(3) Whether the subject merchandise involved in such sales was resold in the United States at a profit;
(4) Whether such sales were made on an arms-length basis; and
(E) Additional documentation regarding the business activities of the producer or exporter, including but not limited to:
(1) The producer or exporter's offers to sell merchandise in the United States;
(2) An identification of the complete circumstance surrounding the producer or exporter's sales to the United States, as well as any home market or third country sales;
(3) In the case of a non-producing exporter, an explanation of the exporter's relationship with its producer/supplier; and
(4) An identification of the producer's or exporter's relationship to the first unaffiliated U.S. purchaser;
(vi) In the case of a review of a countervailing duty order, a certification that the exporter or producer has informed the government of the exporting country that the government will be required to provide a full response to the Department's questionnaire.
With respect to the issue of what constitute a "commercial quantity," certain commenters had requested that the Department establish that single or low number of sales were automatically not sufficient. However, the Department rejected such requests and reiterated that it makes its "bona fide" sales determinations on a case-by-case basis.
Additional factors to consider for ascertaining whether a sale was "bona fide." The Final Rule also directs the Department to consider the additional following factors as part of its "bona fide" analysis under Section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv):
(1) Whether the producer, exporter, or customer was established for purposes of the sale(s) in question after the imposition of the relevant antidumping or countervailing duty order;
(2) Whether the producer, exporter, or customer has lines of business unrelated to the subject merchandise;
(3) The quantity of sales; and
(4) Any other factor that the Secretary determines to be relevant with respect to the future selling behavior of the producer or exporter, including any other indicia that the sale was not commercially viable.
Two additional factors – whether there is an established history of duty evasion or circumvention with respect to new shipper reviews under the relevant order, and whether there is an established history of evasion or circumvention with respect to new shippers under any order in the same or similar industry – had been included in the proposed regulations but were removed in the Final Rule. Some commenters, opposing the addition of these considerations, argued that unless Commerce found collusion at play, any wrongdoing that may have occurred in the past was not pertinent to the review because there was no nexus between the current shipper and any past wrongdoing. The Department did not agree with this comment per se, but ultimately removed these factors from the final rule on the ground that these factors need not be considered in every case.
Certain information regarding the unaffiliated customer. Whereas the prior version of Section 351.214 only required certifications from producers and exporters as part of the request for a new shipper review, the Final Rule now requires certain information regarding the unaffiliated customer.
Specifically, under the new Section 351.214(b)(2)(iv), the exporter or producer must provide:
A certification from the exporter or producer that it will provide, to the fullest extent possible, necessary information related to the unaffiliated customer in the United States during the new shipper review, and
A certification by the unaffiliated customer of its willingness to participate in the new shipper review and provide information relevant to the new shipper review, if such information is requested by the Secretary, or an explanation by the producer/exporter of why such certification from the unaffiliated customer cannot be provided.
These requirements for the unaffiliated customer are less strict than those in the proposed version of the rule, which had included certification from unaffiliated customers certifying that (1) they did not purchase the subject merchandise from the producer or exporter during the period of investigation; and (2) they will provide necessary information requested by Commerce regarding their purchases of subject merchandise. Several commenters argued that such certifications from unaffiliated customers would be too burdensome, and that there may be legitimate circumstances where a new shipper has no sales to unaffiliated customers in the United States. Seeing the merits of these arguments, the Department removed the substantive certification from the unaffiliated customer and only kept the requirement that the unaffiliated customer agree that it would participate if requested.
The foregoing revisions apply to any new shipper reviews filed on or after November 4, 2021.

Polachi Finds New CFO for Inseego Corp.
October 2, 2017 – Chief financial officers continue to be in high demand. Finding them is keeping many of the nation's top recruitment operations busier than ever. One recent example is Polachi Inc.'s recent placement of Stephen Smith as executive vice president and CFO of Inseego Corp. in San Diego.
"Stephen Smith's previous track record in finance and operations within the wireless and device technology industry will serve Inseego immensely as they grow," said Peter Polachi, Polachi Access Executive Search partner.
Dan Mondor, president and CEO of Inseego, described Mr. Smith as a formidable addition to the NASDAQ-traded company. "Steve Smith is a proven leader who brings a wealth of senior executive experience and a track record of success in finance and operations in a number of wireless and device technology companies," he said. "His appointment strengthens the Inseego management team and his contribution will be instrumental as we continue to execute our strategy of cost savings and growth initiatives."
Tom Allen, who has served as the company's interim CFO since May, will continue to provide consulting services to the company, including transition assistance to Mr. Smith.
Veteran Finance Executive
Since 2016, Mr. Smith has worked as a financial consultant for multiple early and mid-stage SaaS, networking and 3D imaging businesses. He has also served as interim CFO of TetraVue Inc., a developer of high definition 4D LIDAR technology, since February. From 2012 to 2016, he served as CFO and head of operations for Micropower Technologies, a private equity-backed business. From 2005 to 2012, Mr. Smith ran his own consulting business and also served as president of XiTron Technologies, a development stage biotech firm. From 1999 to 2005, he served as SVP and chief finance and accounting officer of Applied Micro Circuits Corporation. Mr. Smith previously held senior finance and accounting positions with ST Microelectronics, Northern Telecom and Motorola.
Inseego is a global provider of MiFi-branded intelligent wireless solutions for the worldwide mobile communications market and software-as-a-service and solutions for the Internet of Things.
Polachi is a provider of access executive search services to technology, clean technology, private equity and venture capital companies. The firm recruits executive leaders for clientele that includes Aspen Technology, Bottomline Technologies, Attunity, Cognizant Technologies, MAM Software, Trillium Software/Harte Hanks, FleetMatics, Lionbridge, Sparta Systems, Sevcon, Epsilon, Cognex, Plug Power, Mediamorph, Witricity, BlueConic, Perkins School, Knoa and Visual IQ, among others.
Finding CFOs
Recruiters say the need for top-flight financial executives is growing, making CFOs in greater demand than most C-suite leaders. That, of course, raises the question of what exactly CEOs are after as they work with recruiters to find their next CFO. The position generally serves as right-hand man to the chief executive, so the stakes are high.
In recent months, search firms of all shapes and sizes have placed CFOs at various companies. Here's a look at just a few from the Hunt Scanlon Media archives:
BridgeStreet Partners placed Tony Cossentino as CFO of J.W. Logistics. Dave Westberry, managing director of the search firm, led the search. Mr. Cossentino brings a wealth of financial and logistics experience in private equity, corporate sponsored and publicly traded middle-market growth companies primarily in the manufacturing, distribution and third-party logistics industries.
TRANSEARCH International placed Jarrett Pugh as the CFO of Greenberry Industrial LLC. The search was led by consultants Mike Morrow and John Ryan. Mr. Pugh has held several positions in the Gulf Coast area, where he recently worked as the manager of finance and project accounting in the oil, gas, and chemical division of CDI Corporation.
TillmanCarlson recruited Terence R. Rogers as EVP and CFO at Roadrunner Transportation Systems. Founder Rob Tillman led the searches. Mr. Rogers previously served for four years as CFO for the Heico Companies, LLC, parent company for a diversified portfolio of more than 35 businesses.
Diversified Search placed Sean P. Roddy as CFO for Catholic Charities USA. Nalini Perkins, managing director of the recruiter's non-profit practice, and Mark Mulvanerty, managing director of its financial officers practice, co-led the assignment. Most recently, Mr. Roddy was a consultant for accounting and financial consulting firm Cordia Partners.
ON Partners recruited Mike Berry as EVP and CFO of McAfee. Most recently, Mr. Berry served as EVP, CFO, and chief operating officer at FireEye, responsible for worldwide finance, accounting, data analytics, investor relations, facilities, procurement, information technology, manufacturing operations, and internal audit.
Acertitude placed Anubhav Raj as CFO of Aligned Energy. The search was led by Kevin O'Neill, founder and managing partner, supported by partner Geoffrey Votta. Mr. Raj will direct major financial planning initiatives, as well as identify new and refine pre-existing efficiencies to achieve Aligned Energy's fiscal objectives.
Spencer Stuart recruited Richard J. Schmaeling as EVP and CFO of Entercom Communications Corp. Mr. Schmaeling brings deep media expertise and more than 30 years of finance and leadership experience to Entercom. Most recently, he served as chief financial officer at Travel Leaders Group.
AETHOS Consulting Group placed Douglas L. Ludwig as EVP, treasurer, and CFO of Red Lion Hotels Corporation. Managing director Ken Greger led the assignment. Mr. Ludwig most recently served as CFO of Baha Mar Resorts Limited for the past 10 years. Prior to his time at Baha Mar, he spent more than 20 years with Four Seasons Hotels, including 13 years as CFO.
The McAulay Smith Firm recruited Alexander Pease as executive vice president and CFO of Snyder's-Lance, Inc. President Steven Smith led the assignment. Mr. Pease joins the company from McKinsey & Co., where he was a leader in the firm's global corporate finance and business functions practice working with leading CFOs across a wide range of industries.

George Teasdale born in London, England, was a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of the LDS church. Teasdale was ordained an apostle on 16 October 1882, by Church President John Taylor. Teasdale served a mission for the church from 1887 to 1890 in which he preached in the United Kingdom, France, Switzerland, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, and Ireland. In the 1860s, he had served a mission to the United Kingdom and in the 1870s he served a mission to Tennessee, North Carolina and Virginia. Teasdale died in Salt Lake City at age 75 of an intestinal obstruction. He was buried at Salt Lake City Cemetery.

No single vacation in Soldotna, Alaska, is the same thanks to the seemingly endless activities offered at Soldotna B&B Lodge. Yes, our lodge guides eager anglers from May through October in search of salmon, trout, and halibut, but we also customize week-long vacation packages to include glacier tours, birdwatching, canoeing, whale watching, and bear viewing. Our peaceful, affordable, and cozy lodge rests on the edge of the famous Kenai River, so you're never more than a few steps from a fishing adventure!
Very few fishing lodges in the vast state of Alaska can match what Soldotna B&B Lodge brings to the table. Most Kenai Peninsula lodges offer the bare minimum: overpriced fishing, warm meals, and a tiny bed. Soldotna B&B is a family-run lodge that is devoted to providing prospective anglers with ultimate Alaska fishing trips. Not only do we have jam-packed fishing packages with whale watching, bear viewing, and canoe trips, but our prices genuinely cannot be beaten.
Fall's peak is nearly here on the Kenai River in southcentral Alaska. Over the next handful of weeks, the river bend will transform from forest green to a meld of crimson, marigold, and amber. Soldotna Bed & Breakfast Lodge, home to premier Alaska fishing charters, is steps away from the rushing Kenai River, which is teeming with delicious salmon and beautiful trout. Eager anglers from all across the globe travel each year to the Kenai Peninsula for genuinely once-in-a-lifetime fishing expeditions.
Soldotna, Alaska, is a terrific place to search and gather wild berries! Blueberries, raspberries, currants, salmonberries, and huckleberries, are great for eating right off the bush or making preserves! After harvesting your share of berries, you can eat them on your way back to Soldotna B&B, or save them for baking or preserves. If you are planning on freezing them, we'll share our secret: Single layer the berries on a cookie sheet and freeze them. Then place them in a container and back into the freezer, this will make them easier to remove from the container.
During your stay at Soldotna Bed & Breakfast, we hope you take a day to adventure on our premier canoeing trails! The closest trails to your Soldotna lodging, are Swan Lake canoe trail and the Swanson River canoe trail. Although both trails are breathtaking, their size may overwhelm you! Don't let the miles stop you from this one-of-a-kind fishing and spectacular wildlife! Whether you take one of our guided trips or our recommendations for unguided tours, you won't regret it!
When you go trophy rainbow trout and, or Salmon fishing, you will also be able to take part in a wildlife tour in the middle of the Kenai River. Experience Halibut and Salmon fishing out of our Homer! We also offer a float plane fly-out for fishing and, or bear watching including a spectacular picturesque glacier fly-over. Why wouldn't you stay with us at Soldotna's, for a once-in-a-life stay in one of the best Kenai River fishing lodges!

Plays were required to be registered prior to publication. It was important that plays were regulated as playwrights used the stage as a forum to express their own views on religion and politics. Registration provided an opportunity to invoke a form of censorship and the means to suppress too much freedom of thought and criticism of the crown and public affairs.
Any playwrights found guilty of expressing seditious or heretical views or opinions which were in opposition to the crown or government could be tortured and sentenced to death for treason or even atheism. Such accusations were levelled at Christopher Marlowe and the actor Thomas Kyd. (Kyd was arrested on charges of writing a slanderous play and was tortured. During his interrogation he implicated both Christopher Marlowe and Sir Walter Raleigh in relation to accusations of Heresy and Atheism.) It was therefore not unusual for playwrights to use a pseudonym or an alias to conceal their true identity. William Shakespeare never authorised the publication of any of his plays during his lifetime, neither did he claim authorship. The majority of Shakespeare plays were first published in the First Folio, seven years after his death, in 1623. This has fuelled the Identity Problem and mysteries surrounding the works of William Shakespeare.
The following Play Chronology is the 'best guess' based on the information available. Some views may differ regarding these dates but the 'bottom line' is that if a fact was available it would be included within the chronology, the rest can only be considered as conjecture.

What makes a poem modern or a poet a modernist? The history of modern poetry, like that of any literary period, is a story that has as much to do with the reception of poems as with their production. We maintain a particular story of modern poetry not only by reading and including poets and poems in a literary canon but also by misreading and excluding them, often in the service of larger narratives about what constitutes the modern, modernism, or even good or bad poetry. This course starts with poems and forms that have become "iconic," not merely canonical in the usual sense but that enjoy a special cultural sanction and influence. Along with these poems, we will read the volumes in which they were originally collected in our efforts to read beyond iconic poems to explore modern poetry with a more local specificity. We will also read a variety of writing about literary history and aesthetics by the aestheticians themselves. Along the way, we will hone our poetry reading skills, enjoy a wide range of wonderful poetic expression, and try to figure out just how Modern Poetry became such a big deal in the first place. Texts include Robert Frost's Mountain Interval, H.D.'s Sea Garden, T. S. Eliot's The Wasteland, Edna St. Vincent Millay's The Harp-Weaver and Other Poems, Sterling Brown's Southern Road, and W. H. Auden's Another Time.
Literature, 1789 to the present courses focus on literary work produced over more than two centuries -- from the period of British romanticism and the early republic of the United States up to now -- in order to foster familiarity with key works in British and American literary history. Literary history illustrates how literary works reflect, address, and resist the social and political environments in which they are produced as well as other works that have preceded them.
English Minor courses offer students centuries of cultural experience and representation in poetry, prose, drama, film, TV, new media, and folk artifacts. The English minor can focus and extend the values of a liberal arts education, while also providing extensive training in writing, speaking, and critical thinking.

The present work is a superb workshop copy made in El Greco's studio, based on a prime autograph prototype of the composition in the Church of Santa Maria in Andújar, Jaén (oil on canvas, 69½ x 44 1/8 in.). (There are three other autograph versions in Cuenca, Budapest and Buenos Aires.) El Greco was extremely productive in Toledo where he had an active workshop. Toledo was at that time the ecclesiastical capital of Spain and the see of the primate of Spain, and it exemplified the spirit of theological renewal and reform that characterized the Counter-Reformation; accordingly, El Greco received many local commissions for altarpieces and religious paintings.
The Agony in the Garden depicts the episode after the Last Supper and immediately before his arrest when Christ retired to the Mount of Olives to pray. 'Agony' (from the Greek agon, a contest) here signifies the spiritual struggle between the two sides of Christ's nature, the human side that feared imminent suffering and would have avoided it, and the divinity which imbued him with the strength he needed to endure his ordeal. El Greco deftly conveys this concept by using a fence of recently cut wood to separate the fallibly human, sleeping Apostles - and by extension the human viewer - from the holy person of Jesus. It was this gap between the human and the divine that the Counter-Reformation Church sought to bridge.
In Christ's vision, an angel appears on a cloud and brings the chalice and wafer. Shrouded in supernatural light, a kneeling Jesus watches the arrival of the angel in awe. Below him are three disciples: Peter, grey-haired with a curly beard; James who has dark hair and a beard and John, the youngest, with long hair. The elongated forms of their bodies is characteristic of the artist's elegantly exaggerated mannerism which, nevertheless, exhibits a powerful understanding of human anatomy - note how James's wrist supports the weight of his head, and John's yellow mantle emphasizes the solidity of his legs. In the distance, illuminated by the moon, are the city of Jerusalem and a group of approaching soldiers led by Judas Iscariot.
Huxley wrote about how El Greco used natural objects as the raw material out of which, by a process of calculated distortion, he might create his own world of pictorial forms, and how within this private universe the artist situated his religious subject matter using it as a vehicle for expressing what he wanted to say about life. Few of El Greco's compositions better exemplify this artistic and spiritual vision.

When looking for accommodation, we always try to find one that is proximate to the town or city's attractions and shopping destinations. Such was our criteria when we chose Golden Gate Suites, conveniently located in the heart of downtown Dumaguete City. The best that the city has to offer is just one tricycle ride away. Of course, the good reviews posted on Travelbook convinced us even more to choose Golden Gate Suites.
The room had all the basic amenities to keep us comfortable during our stay. It was clean, the bed had fresh mattresses, and the air-conditioning was strong. The toilet was likewise sanitary and well-maintained.
They did not have a restaurant but there are convenient stores and coffee shops right outside the hotel. The hotel staff was also very helpful with my inquiries especially when I was asking questions late at night when we were traveling from Cebu to Dumaguete. At around Php798/night, it was a definite steal.
For up-to-date awesome deals on hotels in Dumaguete City, you may check TravelBook or Agoda.
I have not been to Dumaguete yet. The hotel has an old world charm to it and is very inexpensive! Although I wish they'd have a restaurant inside so we don't have to find a place to eat. Thanks for sharing your experience.
This would be a good guide for people traveling and would like to visit, say and explore Dumaguete - I, myself would like to travel and check out foods of course in this interesting city.
Great guide for those looking for accommodation in Dumaguete City. Looks like an interesting city.
Thank you very much! Do try to include Dumaguete City in your itinerary when you get to visit the Philippines.
Not a luxury but looks clean and functional. Exactly what I would choose!
Yup, very affordable. Thank you!
This looks like a very efficient place to stay if you were staying in Dumaguete City. I can't wait to explore the Philippines some day.
Seems quite a quaint room and cleanliness looks perfectly fine. A little dissapointed that they did not have a restaurant to dine, but I suppose it gets you out in to the neighbourhood to explore the different food on offer in Dumaguete City.
Dumaguete city offers good accommodation. It may get better if they start the dining facility for more relaxing experience!


When I run "calibre-portable calibre-debug -g", calibre starts normally and there no debugging output on the console. Does calibre-portable.exe even support debug mode?
Hi Should I really use calibre just to copy my epubs into the my e-reader? I always transfer by pasting the file into the root of the my reader. What are the advantages of pasting them through calibre?
I use Windows 10, 32 bit. I downloaded version 3.41.1, but at launching Calibre, I receive this message: Code: Python function terminated unexpectedly 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0xfc in position 13: invalid start byte (Error Code: 1) De- and reinstall at no avail. Install of version 3.40.0 works without issue. Am I the only one with this problem?
So I upgraded to 3.40.1 and it works fine as long as my Kobo Forma is not plugged in. When I plug in the Forma it works for about 2 minutes and then Windows 10 restarts. It only does it when the Forma is plugged in. I rolled back to 3.38 on the software and it no longer does it. I tried a clean install and put 3.40.1 back on and it did it again. Rolled it back to 3.38 back to stable. No clue what is going on.
If I want to move from the binary version of Calibre on the site (currently 3.40 installed on my end) to my linux distros version in the repo (Currently 3.31), would there be any issues? If it is supported im assuming I would need to use the Export/Import option as opposed to simply pointing the older version at the existing database? Thanks!
Greetings, I often used calibredb to search for books. How can I also add the location to the search, as in folder, of each found title?
I always run any added book through the "Edit Book" function to check for problems, with a goal of achieving "No problems found". A lot of issues involve "CSS Property: Unknown Property" warnings such as "-webkit-text-fill-color" , "-epub-hyphens", etc. I generally remove all these references. Am I wasting my time? Would leaving these cause potential errors? Inversely, would there be benefit leaving them in for possible future epub implementation, or other reasons? Thanks for any insights.

Something bloody obvious, probably. Can somebody help?
How to setting the content when fetching the news?

Have made changes to httpRuntimeValidationMode = 2.0 and pages requestValidate = false both in web.config and page directive, all FRAMEWORKs are installed all the way to 4.0
The only portion encoded is the VALUE(%3Cd) of the second name/value pair (name2=%3Cd) - ...encoding the URL portion is worse...
The special character (%3C) is the < char and the d is the first char of the div tag... POSTing HTML to the server.
If no special chars are in that value, it passes(encoded or not) 2061 chars(even though IIS is set for 4096 and those changes are reflected in the web.config)
An angle-bracket(<) alone, passes!? thus 2 chars(%3Cd) are needed to break it.
if this line is plugged in the Broswer URL bar:  (note, the C is missing)
http://localhost/sitename/apage.aspx?name1=value1&name2=%3d
effectively skipping the javascript httpRequest, the ResponseText is: "value1="
thus, the first value succeeds, so does the 2nd as 3D is the '=' sign(nasty coincidence-lol, threw me for a loop).
%3Cd - when the C is not removed... '[lessthan]d' equals trouble(duh!).
Yellow Trace screen: A potentially dangerous Request.QueryString value was detected from the client (name2=[lessthan]d). - no mention of Error 500 on Trace page.
Why does it not cancel the validation mechanism?!
...and I thought encoding alone would be needed?!
...and why does it choke at 2061?
Keep in mind same mechanism is used without a hick-up in countless instances, sync and async... no problems as long as 'dangerous' characters are not passed. The '='(3d) example above and the 2061 SUCCESS shows this instance is no different.
I do not post willy-nilly... I will break my head 40 hours before I beg for help, I have read the entire Internet... (sniff sniff)! (t.y.)

A: ...not sure that is the proper or accepted way to do this, but have resolved the issue TEMPORARILY by doing a 'replace' of '<' with a 'unique 3 chars safe string' that I can decode at will... and I believe I will have to do that for other chars that will fail the process.
I would prefer a solid accepted solution.
...and the other associated questions such as queryString length also are not resolved

McDonald's Earnings Miss Weighs on the Dow
Dan Carroll, The Motley Fool
Now fully into earnings season, the Dow Jones Industrial Average is having a hard time getting things going today. The index has hung flat for most of the day as blue-chip stocks have remained mixed between risers and losers. McDonald's sure hasn't helped after the company's earnings report sent the fast-food giant's shares tumbling. Let's catch up on all the action around the Dow you need to know.
McDonald's struggles to satisfy the Street
McDonald's is dominating investors' attention today after the company's earnings release failed to impress Wall Street. The stock has dropped 2.4% so far, leading the Dow's contingent of losers downward. The company's earnings per share did pick up by about 5% year over year for the quarter, but it still fell $0.02 short of Wall Street's estimates.
More worryingly for McDonald's investors, same-store sales grew just 1% globally, falling across Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and Africa. The company has been dealing with same-store sales losses off and on since late last year, when it posted its first monthly same-store sales loss in years, but public perception concerning high obesity rates could continue hurting McDonald's sales in the future.
The company acknowledged this today, saying it expects sales this month to be flat and warning investors that it could be a tough year. McDonald's has tried to counter these trends by releasing healthier items in the U.S. and capitalizing on the improving standards of living in many international regions, but so far the strategy has failed to pay off in a meaningful way.
Disney's also on the downswing today, with the entertainment stock falling 1.3%. The company's pair of recently released movies -- the Western flick The Lone Ranger and family film Monsters University -- have split their fortunes at the box office: The former has failed to make even $150 million worldwide so far despite a reported budget of more than $200 million, while the latter has raked in more than $500 million over its box office run, picking up another $25 million this prior weekend.
Lone Ranger has turned into a flop for Disney, but this company can take much more damage at the box office than its rivals. Disney still controls the cash cows of the Marvel universe -- which it plans to tap for more films, including additions to its Avengers series -- and the Star Wars saga, which will likely be a hit once the first film under the Disney banner arrives in 2015. Given these assets and other properties like theme parks and sports media powerhouse ESPN, Disney controls a monstrous platoon of brands in its portfolio. If you're looking for a stock that can shrug off blows, it's hard to find many safer picks than Disney.
Intel's also among the losers today, with shares down 1.2%. The stock is struggling in the wake of its recent earnings release, which failed to live up to the Street's expectations as the PC market's continuing slump took a toll on sales. Intel seeks to continue pivoting toward non-PC markets, especially servers, in its search for growth. The company said today that it's developing low-power server chips in order to increase its foothold in the data center market.
Intel's long-term strategy has been questioned by many, particularly given the PC market's decline. It's a sign of caution for investors: After all, investing for the long run is the easiest way to build up financial strength in your portfolio.

UN Says 2018 Deadliest Year Yet for Syrian Children, with 1,106 Killed
National news March 11, 2019 UN Says 2018 Deadliest Year Yet for Syrian Children, with 1,106 Killed2019-03-11T00:00:00+00:00
BEIRUT, Last year was the deadliest yet for children in Syria, with more than 1,100 killed by fighting, the United Nations said on Monday, with the bloody conflict about to enter its ninth year.
U.N. children's agency UNICEF said it had been able to verify 1,106 child deaths from the fighting in 2018 � the highest annual toll since war broke out in 2011 � but that the true figure was likely to be much higher
"Today there exists an alarming misconception that the conflict in Syria is drawing quickly to a close � it is not," said executive director Henrietta Fore in a statement. "Children in parts of the country remain in as much danger as at any other time during the eight-year conflict."
The biggest cause of child casualties was unexploded ordnance, which accounted for 434 deaths and injuries last year, UNICEF said.
Syria's war has killed an estimated half a million people and driven about 5.6 million people out of the country. Another 6.6 million people still in the country have lost or fled their homes.
Turkey and Russia, one of the Syrian government's staunchest allies, brokered a deal in September to create a demilitarized zone in the northwest Idlib region that would be free of all heavy weapons and jihadist fighters.
The deal helped avert a government assault on the region, the last major bastion of opponents of President Bashar al-Assad.
But Fore said she was concerned about the intensification of violence in Idlib, where 59 children have been reported killed in recent weeks.
"UNICEF again reminds parties to the conflict and the global community that it is the country's children who have suffered most and have the most to lose. Each day the conflict continues is another day stolen from their childhood," said Fore.
Since January about 60 children have died trying to get to al-Hol camp in northeastern Syria, which is now home to more than 65,000 people fleeing Islamic State, according to the U.N.
Thousands have flooded al-Hol camp as the U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) lay siege to the last vestige of Islamic State's territorial rule at the besieged village of Baghouz near the Iraqi border.
"Syria is still one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a child, with ongoing violence, insecurity and displacement," said Caroline Anning, spokeswoman for Save the Children.
"Even where conflict has subsided, the risk from explosive remnants of war like landmines and cluster munitions is growing," she told the Thomson Reuters Foundation in an emailed statement.

A little flour, a little water (both required). A little salt, a little yeast (both optional). Mix. Bake. Bread.
We pray, "Give us this day our daily bread." Martin Luther, in his explanation of this part of the Lord's Prayer, said that daily bread is more than the food on our plate. He said it included such gifts as home and family, daily work, favorable weather, good government…all that is needful for a good life. He was on to something there.
If you were fortunate enough to grow up within sight of amber waves of grain, you know something about the process of seed, water and sunlight becoming the fluffy stuff in the plastic bags. Many many hands play a role in the process. Many different prayers are said along the way. People working together, doing their part, getting fed along the way.
We need our daily bread. Much of our lives has to do with the creation, acquisition, distribution and management of daily bread. We're always looking for ways to do it better, faster, more efficiently.
The crowds followed Jesus because he gave them bread. People will do just about anything when they are hungry. But hunger is hardly our problem.
Our problem isn't hunger – it is recognizing the difference between the bread which satisfies and the junk food which coats our arterial walls. It is recognizing the signs of health and pseudo spiritual-obesity.
I believe Jesus healed blind people as a sign that Jesus is interested in helping people see. Really see. To see beyond the apparent to the real. To see the connections between the signs which point to the presence of God.
Our daily bread is such a sign. God gives us a little flour and water. We make "Cookie Crisp." Life is complicated but we make it far more complicated than it needs to be.
The crowds followed Jesus because he gave them bread. Had they eyes to see beyond a fast food meal, they would have seen that in giving them bread, he was giving them himself. Daily bread that endures to eternal life.
Let us pray: Gracious Lord, give us this day our daily bread. And give us eyes to see all the ways which you feed us. In Jesus' name. Amen.

How Jeremy Corbyn (with a little help from Tim Farron) brought political activism back from the living dead
Jeremy Corbyn rally – a sign of a revitalised party membership. Pic Credit; Twitter
As the Labour conferences is just about to start one of the greatest achievements of Jeremy Corbyn has been to revitalise political activism in Britain.
According to a report in the House of Commons library active membership of political parties fell to its lowest ever recorded proportion of the population – at 0.8 per cent – in 2013. It was virtually teetering on near extinction. It had also veered to the right – with UKIP going from now nowhere to 74,000 members.Labour in 2013 was also at a low before Corbyn won the leadership of 190,000 members.
So dire was the membership of political parties that political commentator Andrew Rawnsley in a comment is free article in The Guardian could joke that as many people had declared their religion in the census as a Jedi knight than belonged to each of the main two political parties.
After Corbyn's leadership victory in the autumn of 2015 membership of the Labour Party had soared to 388,000. Under his leadership, despite a hostile press, it grew again to 544,000 by the end of last year. Since then it has risen to 552,000 in June. And on the eve of the party conference now stands at 569,500.
To do him credit the other person who revitalised an ailing party was Tim Farron. Fuelled by their Remain stance the Liberal Democrat party moved from 61,000 members in December 2015 to 78,000 by the end of last year and to 102,000 by May this year. though this is dwarfed by Labour.
Between the two of them they have increased membership of political parties to 1.7 per cent of the population – still small – but more than double the numbers in 2013.
The biggest losers are UKIP who have seem their active membership collapse in lone with their poor election performances. Membership of UKIP was around 74,000 in December 2015 but had fallen to 39,000 in July last year and fallen again to 34,000 by December. No new figures have been issued since.
Slightly surprising has been the demise of the Greens – though they seem to have started to turn this around.Their membership fell from 63,000 to 46,000 from 2015 to 2016 but the trend appears to have reversed itself – with an increase back to 55,500 in March this year.
Membership of the Scottish Nats has also stopped growing with it flatlining at around 118,000.
The real mystery is the Tories. They say their membership is 149,000. But this figure has never been updated since 2013 as no political party is obliged to publish its membership numbers in its annual report. Their shyness in producing any new membership figures since then – suggests that they may have suffered a decline in membership.
Certainly if they had any big increase in membership they would have immediately published details – to try and take the shine off Jeremy Corbyn's extraordinary ability to attract new members in droves.
It has recently come out that the average age of Tory members is 72 which suggests that while there have been enormous increases in Left and Centre parties – the Tories could well be in terminal decline and turning literally into the party of the living dead!

I have watched my local Conserative party go from an active association which had an office and many local cllrs and ran the council in the late 1960's to early 1970's to an organisation with 3 cllrs, no offices and a association that has difficulty fielding candidates. It's campaigning outside of local and general elections is almost non existent.
I do not think we need to enquire on membership numbers, as the above can be replicated in many areas of the U.K.
