Egyptians Hearts the 1954 StatePosted: June 30, 2017 Filed under: Egypt, Egyptian Politics, History Leave a comment
The year 1954 saw the establishment of a new state model in Egypt, and one that ran into trouble almost in its infancy. It was a remarkable year. Nasser assumed sole power as President and began a pattern of concentration of decision making at the very top that still holds today. He rose to his position by a combination of public appeals and negotiations among the top leaders of the Army; a template that every leader that followed found to be the necessary means of holding, or in the case of Morsi of losing power. It was the year the Muslim Brotherhood took a lurch toward grabbing power and failed miserably. Nasser started an economic movement based on native production and centralized government planning and system of ever larger public sector and creeping subsidies. Development was to be made with gigantic projects of prestige, such as the High Dam. It was also the year that the government began a massive reprogramming of education, ironically with the assistance of the Muslim Brotherhood that cashiered the elite of Egyptian university professors from their positions and pensioned off their leader Taha Hussein. It was also the year Nasser started to project Egyptian power onto the local and international scene. The last British soldiers evacuated from the Canal. Egypt was to be a leader of both the Arabs and the "third" and "non-aligned" world.
The failures of the 1954 state were many. Governance in Egypt remains problematic with centralization and repression as its most obvious flaws. Education is in shambles, risking future generations and economic prosperity. The public sector grew larger and more ineffective after the 1961 and 1964 waves of nationalizations. It remains a drag on economic development. Subsidies have created dependence but no prosperity. Egypt still relies unhealthily on foreign aid. It is nearly a rentier state which relies on its "strategic" value to extract support without economic production. Egypt's bid to lead the Arabs ended in a series of failures: the demise of the union with Syria in 1961, the Yemen war with Saudi Arabia from 1961 to 1967, and finally the shattering defeat in 1967. Its prestige in the wider world is nominal more than real, like an old dowager that everyone respects in spite of her bizarre manner and tatty clothing. Many agreed with this observer's rather obvious conclusion that President Sisi must pivot away from the 1954 or risk failure. The surprise, if it can be called that, is how the wider Egyptian public seems reluctant to let go of that failing model.
The late Mubarak years were an attempt to shift away from that model, albeit in a clumsy and ultimately unsuccessful manner. While the events of 2011 are always cast as a revolt against authoritarian governance, the reality is that it brought back the two most repressive forces in the Egyptian society, the Army and the Muslim Brotherhood, setting the stage for an even nastier clash between them than in 1954. The Army was called to power twice by the street in January 2011 and again on June 30 2013. The demand for "social justice" was a thinly veiled reprimand for any sensible effort to free the economy from the shackles of the public sector and ruinous subsidies. Attempts to wean the country from poor economic models are inevitably painful, but are often attacked not based on their merits but as a "cave-in" to the evil foreign bankers at the IMF. Prestige and projection of Egyptian power abroad remain popular no matter how ruinous. The left still tweaks Israel without any visible gain, following the model set by the DMNL since it became a patsy of Nasser in 1952. The "sacredness" of Egyptian land is proclaimed with scant attention to history or fact, most notably in the Tiran and Sanafir islands affair. Little effort is dedicated to cultural and economic progress that can lift the majority from misery and set the stage for civilian government based on civilian politics. Faced with the failures of the 1954 state, many Egyptians seem to yearn for its proclaimed promises without attention to its demonstrated failures.

Tick-Tock to Apocalypse: June 3 1967Posted: June 3, 2017 Filed under: 1967, Egypt, Egyptian Politics Leave a comment
Where is Zakaria?
On the morning of June 3 1967 neighbors of Zakaria Mohieddin, Vice-President of the United Arab Republic, reported that a fleet of cars arrived as his residence and whisked him out. The rumor spread through Cairo rapidly. For many the incident was a ray of hope in an increasingly worrisome situation. The assumption was that Zakaria, a favorite of the West among Egypt's "Free Officers" was headed to Washington DC to negotiate an end to the impending crisis. President Johnson seemed to hint at an approaching resolution. In fact, Zakaria was ordered by Nasser to fly to Algiers to round up a volunteer force of perhaps 200 men who were unlikely to arrive in less than a couple of weeks.
Zakaria came back to Egypt in time to be its President, days later, for a couple of hours. His star would fade rapidly thereafter. Nasser replaced him as Vice-President with Ali Sabry and then Sadat after the 1968 revolution. But the entire episode with its hallmarks of erratic decision making, waste of valuable time and skilled manpower, and the assumption that the crisis would drag on for some time, was a microcosm of how Nasser handled the disaster of his own making. Zakaria lived on for another 45 years. Unlike Khalid, his cousin and fellow Free Officer, he was silent to his last breath.

False Hope – Thoughts on Steven Cook's "False Dawn"Posted: May 7, 2017 Filed under: Egypt, Egyptian Politics, Fabianism, Religion, Tunisia Leave a comment
One of the most amusing scenes of the events of January 2011 in Egypt was the image of CNN anchor Anderson Cooper cowering in an apartment in Cairo, curtains drawn, whispering into the microphone from an "undisclosed location" for fear that Mubarak's "thugs" would come and drag him away by the scruff of his t-shirt. The location was well-known, even if it was undisclosed. Those who knew Egypt also knew that life went on normally just a short distance from Cooper's location. This was a hint of what was to come, when the world reported on the "Arab Revolutions" as nearly a TV serial without much examination of of what was truly happening. Steven Cook opens his new book "False Dawn: Protest, Democracy, and Violence in the New Middle East " with a nod to all that, listing the "characters", "timeline" and "places", as well as provide personal experiences of living through those days in January in Egypt as a historian and a sympathetic foreigner who studies Egypt's convulsions. But that early start is a feint, for the book launches as a serious and occasionally gloomy examination of the events of the last 6 years in four countries, Tunisia, Libya, Turkey and Egypt. The author has clearly come to many important insights, and one central conclusion; that the "revolutions" of 2011 were no revolutions at all. If a Hollywood agent had read only the cinematic first few pages and tried to option the book he would be advised to choose the music of "The Who" as the film's soundtrack. The credits would play to the searing strings of "We Won't get Fooled Again". Cook concludes that to meet the new boss(es) is to meet the old boss(es).
There is a lot to like in Cook's book, and a few things to quibble with. The author weaves events in all four countries into one tapestry. Most of the events are well-documented in the public record, but those who do not know the four countries, or know only one or two of them will appreciate and benefit from the summary. We should also note and be thankful for what is absent. There is no discussion of the "Arab mind" or "Islam's encounter with Modernity" or any of the other similar crutches. There is no hint that the author read the seminal works of Orientalism and postcolonial theory, although he undoubtedly did. Cook assumes that Arabs, Turks, Egyptians and the other motley occupants of the region want what all humans want, a secure, prosperous and dignified life. The early part of the book marshals many economic facts and figures noting that the countries made many advances, but not enough. The people were neither so miserable as to hope for nothing, nor so satisfied as to offer loyalty to their governing schemas. Three countries were run by authoritarian structures, while Libya was not run at all, but simply managed for the benefit of the boss. Cook's indictment of the ruling elites is indirect, summarizing what they failed to do, and what opportunities they missed, rather than detailing a record of specific perfidies. This is also a welcome departure from the literature of outrage common to studies of the region.
The central point of the book will no doubt arose arguments. The author leans on the theories of Theda Skocpol and others to demonstrate that the "revolutions" were hardly revolutions at all since they did not result in the fundamental alteration of social and political power relations. But those who argue against it will be doing so under the influence of the romance of revolution rather than the sober analysis of what actually took place. Whoever coined the term "Arab Spring" made the cardinal error in Skocpol's world of using the events of a previous convulsion (fall of the Soviet Union) to analyze a new one. To see this argument advanced by a well-regarded voice on the region is worth the price of the book. It is not surprising that the author in two chapters ("Unraveling" and "What Went Wrong?") does not countenance the idea of a well-planned "counter-revolution". Instead he sees a multitude of actors responding in random and mostly predictable ways to new events and conditions. The descent into despotism in Turkey, repression in Egypt and Tunisia, and chaos in Libya were all improvised events, according to Cook, who describes them in some detail. The powers-that-be are not evil Chess masters, but hapless tossers of dice in a wild game of Backgammon. They may be deaf, dumb and blind to the subtle charms of good governance, but they sure play a mean game of pinball.
Cook also takes up a point often ignored in discourses about the region, identity crisis. (The sound editor should cue in "Who are You?") Recently, Egyptian-American historian Samuel Tadros noted that the ills of the region stem from a refusal to accept, let alone celebrate, diversity. Cook is in broad agreement with that. Many people in the region refuse to acknowledge that it is normal for individuals to assume different, and sometimes overlapping, identities. To refuse to acknowledge that reality is at the root of collapse. Arabism did not die at the hands of Israel, but at the urging of Sati' Al Husri to tolerate no other identity for an "Arab", who may foolishly not know that he is one and must be coerced into that acceptance. Similarly, Islamism's insistence on the supremacy of a "Muslim" identity, something unfortunately is increasingly accepted even in the West, is at the root of its failure to deliver anything more than coercion in the social norms. This is a point on which a direct comparison between Egypt and Turkey (two countries that Cook studies regularly) would have been valuable. Kemalism in Turkey and Egyptianism in Egypt tracked each other closely, and Islamism was a counter-reaction to both. The Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt began to agitate for recreating the Caliphate as soon as Kemal dismissed it in post-Ottoman Turkey. A longer discussion of this would clarify to readers the reason for the ferocity of the suppression of the Brotherhood in Egypt, as the author points out how the Brotherhood is made non-Egyptian by its opponents. A longer discussion of the identity crisis in a place such as Egypt, which retains much of its pre-Islamic identity, would show that at the present moment any true revolution is likely to be Islamist and non-democratic and any liberal outcome is likely to come by evolutionary means. This subtle argument is understood by many Egyptians at a subliminal level, which explains why many supported the July 3 2013 removal of Morsi, while certain that the outcome in the short term will not be a freer politics. Cook hints at that when he points out that had the events become a true revolution, their outcome would not necessarily have been liberal or democratic. This is an accurate observation that runs counter to the conventional wisdom of 2011, which remains popular even if discredited by events.
Many studies of the region urge that considerable effort should go into "building institutions". Cook finds no dearth of institutions in the countries he studies, excepting Libya. The trouble is less the lack of institutions than in their nature and function. Cook notes that these institutions were built long ago by founding figures (Nasser, Ataturk and Bourguiba). Younger generations have largely failed to supplant them. By day young "revolutionaries" risk their lives to oppose armed power, but at night they repair to the homes of their parents, where they fail to offer a modicum of rebellion against stifling tradition. Many surveys indicate that young Egyptians are as conservative in matters of gender and religion as their Mamas and Babas, and more so than their Tatas and Gidos. If true then this is an unhappy wasteland for social reform. Anecdotes abound. In the revolutionary year of 2011, many who manned the barricades tsked tsked a young woman, Aliaa Magda Elmahdy, who displayed her bare breasts in a tasteful photograph. To hear their attacks on her one would think that Egypt is unraveling, not through senseless riots and the burning of important libraries, but through the display of nipples. In contrast to the unveiling revolution of 1919 and the rock and roll events of 1968 , the 2011 edition seemed to be characterized by sexual harassment rather than sexual revolution. While the outside world talked about a "youth" revolution in the region, there was little direct evidence that the youth were engaged in a major revamping of national institutions in either Egypt or Tunisia. When it came to running elections or offering platforms, old men stepped forward. The youth seemed more intent on street action and oblivious to its limitations. Cook takes the nihilistic riots in late 2011 in Egypt to task, but that nihilism was what filled the vacuum left by the lack of serious attempts at cultural and political transformation. This was not always the case. The region was once transformed radically by young men. Nasser made fundamental changes to Egypt before he was 40. King Hussein invented a new Jordan while short of 30. Ataturk invented and built a nation in his 40s. This is no longer the case. A recent meeting of the League of Arab States featured two dozen very old men dozing in their seats. The youngest and most dynamic of the men were Sisi, in his early 60s, and Abdullah in his mid 50s. "I hope I die before I get old", is not their sound track.
One of the more amusing sections of the book is an insider report of how the US foreign policy Mandarins have been trying to understand the region and "get it right". This "establishment" is a loose circuit of current, former and would be policy makers who commiserate on panels and in seminars powered by coffee, bagels and a firm belief in the power of the US. Like the Who's "The Seeker", they look under chairs and tables trying to vainly find the key to fifty million fables. The reality, asserts Cook, is that the US influence is limited at best, its actions are just as likely to hurt as help, and that detailed studies to divine the intentions of actors in the region and anticipate the course of future events are often about as accurate as a coin toss. He simply urges that the US should stand by its values and refuse to be drawn into foolish escapades. This is the right course for a liberal American republic, but not for a military empire. The Middle East, sometimes incorrectly regarded as the graveyard of empires, holds up an unhappy mirror to America. What is notable about America's involvement in the region, compared to other areas around the world, is the lack of positive outcomes. America's involvement in East Asia produced economic tigers (even including Vietnam). Its involvement in Europe produced two generations of peace and prosperity. By contrast, every American effort in the Middle East seems to be an attempt to rectify earlier mistakes and is usually fraught with new mistakes. Still, one suspects that Cook's recommendation of upholding our values and restraining the impulse to re-engineer the region will fall on deaf ears.
Another good aspect of the book is that it does not end with a laundry list of recommended actions, as many studies of the region often do. Again, we have to be thankful for that absence. The author notes that the region is what it is because of a confluence of historical events and actors rather through any grand design that can be altered or improved. Cook avoids any discussion of what should have been, except in a few places where he notes how the failure to offer a vision has robbed the people of much needed leadership. To have done so would have had him wade into deep and perhaps contentious waters. This book on revolutions is notable for the author's skeptical attitude toward the efficacy of revolutionary change. Without explicitly stating so, the book seems to favor evolutionary change, or mild Fabianism. The central point of the book is also a paradox. The countries it studies experience plenty of upheavals but no change. The revolutions in these places are literally that, a full turn of events 360 degrees back to where they started. It is as if change is preordained not to happen.
But the failure of the region was not preordained. A woman who went to sleep in 1917 and woke up in 2017 would be shocked by the turn of events. India has a better balance of payment and freer press than Egypt. Singapore, once the scene of another of Conrad's "Heart of Darkness" episodes, now rivals Europe in wealth. The four countries Cook studies were in fact lucky by comparison, and yet they remain underachievers. Egypt and Tunisia were not colonized in the exploitative and deforming manner of India or Africa. Turkey was not colonized at all. Libya sits atop a pool of oil with a tiny population. None of the four countries have a history of long and troubled social relations, such as the caste system in India or the deadly friction between Hindus and Muslims, or between Chinese and Malay in Singapore. None of them experienced the natural disasters, rampant plagues and famines of India, for example. Nature endowed them with both mildness and favor. Egypt has a long history of native Christian and Islamic cultures, and has once sustained a polyglot population that remained firmly loyal to it, yet it turned nastily nativist to its disadvantage. Turkey's Kurdish "problem" is no more intractable than India's divisions, but is far more destabilizing to the state. So really what went wrong? Here we would do well to follow Cook's method of looking not to systemic reasons but accidents of fate. Both India and Singapore were lucky to have two remarkable men lead them to independence. Jawaharlal Nehru and Lee Kuan Yew were not easy men to like. Neither was a true democrat. Both were deeply suspicious of the West, even if they spent formative years in England. Both displayed a healthy understanding of the shortcomings of their nascent nations and their people. They also shared some common characteristics. For all their resentment of Western colonial powers, they remained in a productive intellectual discourse with them (and in the case of Nehru and Lady Mountbatten, perhaps a carnal discourse as well). They displayed a veneer of authenticity without ever falling into the ugly nativism common to the Near East. Nehru, clad in signature suits, still had no truck with Gandhi's daffy authenticity, and Lee only affected a certain Confucian hauteur. Both were sly men who realized that their nations needed to emulate Western success, and in doing so can not avoid some of the ills of the West, but the pill can be made sweeter with a bit of theatrical charades. Both men were also students, and to a great degree followers, of English Fabianism. It was not so much the manifestation of it in the early Labor party, but the belief in the efficacy of gradual change, of the necessity of immediate actions to treat the problems most troubling to the most people, and avoidance of single engagements meant to affect profound change. They were, in short, anti-revolutionaries. Their success has not convinced many in the Middle East to emulate them. Revolution still rings alluring and desirable to all too many. The region actually produced some Fabians, most notably the namesake of this blog, who alone among Egyptian national thinkers, opposed the 1919 revolution. Yet despite his wide influence during the interwar years, his personal limitations and that of his country consigned him to ineffectiveness. There is an apocryphal tale of how he was asked, toward the end of his life, of "what he got wrong?". He answered with one word "religion". We do not know if the tale is true, or even if it is, what he meant by his response. Religion is one subject that weaves through Cook's book but is never confronted directly. This is a hint at both its centrality and volatility for the region and any potential transformation. Religion is meant to provide man with hope. It remains with man to make that true or false hope.
Buy the book.

Ibrahim and the Two IslandsPosted: January 1, 2017 Filed under: Egypt, Egyptian Politics Leave a comment
This passage is from Leila Ahmed's memoirs "A Border Passage".
"You're an Arab!" she finally screamed at me. "An Arab! And you don't know your own language!'
"I am not an Arab!" I said, suddenly furious myself. "I am Egyptian! And anyway we don't speak like this!" And I banged my book shut.
I sat on stonily, armed folded.
I didn't move.
She struck me across the face. The moment afterward seemed to go on forever, like something in slow motion.
I was twelve and I'd never been hit before by a teacher and never slapped across the face by anyone. Miss Nabih, the teacher, was a Palestinian. A refugee.
The year was 1952, the year of the revolution. What Miss Nabih was doing to me in class the government was doing to us through the media. I remember how I hated the incessant rhetoric. Al-qawmiyya Al Arabiya! Al-Uruba! Nahnu Al-Arab! Arab nationalism! Arabness! We are the Arabs! Even now, just remembering those words, I feel again a surge of mingled irritation and resentment. Propaganda is unpleasant. And one could not escape it. The moment one turned on the radio, three it was : military songs, and endless, endless speeches in that frenetic, crazed voice of exhortation.
Ahmed devotes an entire chapter to her mixed feelings about Arabism, the damage it inflicted on Egypt, first by displacing the polyglot community that lent it vibrancy and cultural and economic momentum, and by disenfranchising the most ancient and native of Egyptians, the Copts, the majority of whom wished to identify as Egyptians only. The moment that tormented her in 1952 would last and continue to further split and torment the country. She correctly ties Arabism to Islamism and how the project of imposing these larger identities on a nation that neither wanted .nor needed them would ultimately result in the current decline and division.
This is all brought up again by two events at the end of 2016, and offered as a warning. The referring of the transfer to Saudi Arabia of the Islands of Tiran and Sanafir to Parliament for final approval, and the shutting down of Ibrahim Eissa's program, the last voice to challenge Arabism and Islamism, even officially espoused soft-core versions.
Leila did not "win" her fight against the teacher, Ultimately she left, a net loss to Egypt.

Ready, Aim, Make KoftaPosted: September 1, 2016 Filed under: Army, Egypt, Egyptian Politics 4 Comments
There is news that the Egyptian army has started a private school and will also start managing the Cairo University cafeteria. This is exactly the reverse of what the Bush administration did during its Iraq war when many tasks normally assigned to military personnel were outsourced to civilian contractors. Many attacked that decision as a dangerous precedent. Without defending the Haliburton palm-greasing, it is a far less dangerous precedent than the one now set by the Egyptian Army, which harbors three distinct dangers.
First, there is the danger that the Army will further erode its abilities and focus at a time when the country needs such focus to handle the multiple security threats raised by the collapse of the so-called Arab world. Second, there is the danger that the Army staff will now see themselves as the rulers and managers of the country, rather than its faithful servants, and that this self image will further hinder any progress to effective governance. But the last and most profound danger is the further infantilization of Egypt and the Egyptian society. Nasser once remarked that to let Egyptian practice politics is as irresponsible as letting children play in traffic. But the mission creep of the Army presents additional levels of infantilization; those of basic entrepreneurial skills. To lift the fortunes of the country there needs to be a flourishing spirit of initiative and entrepreneurship. If the civilians can't be trust to cook, then can they be trusted to do anything else, such as starting a business, or heaven-forbid, pulling a Halliburton?

The Unbearable Ineffectiveness of Coptic ProtestsPosted: August 2, 2016 Filed under: Copts, Egypt, Egyptian Politics Leave a comment
An email went out yesterday from Pope Tawadros II stating:
"I oppose any demonstrations that may harm Egypt and cause conflict with higher authorities. These demonstrations do not change our situation and stain the image of Egypt nationally and internationally. We, in Egypt, are capable of dealing with our problems and their consequences. Please, for Christ's sake, avoid this behavior which is not acceptable in any of our churches in the USA. These demonstrations disfigure our country and fuel evil. Our circumstances are completely different from those of five or ten years ago and we can not afford to deal with new evolving events using old ways. May blessings be bestowed on the obedient son as failure follows those that disobey.
His Holiness Pope Tawadros II "
The noted historian Samuel Tadros tweeted that "Pope Tawadros [sic] is a product of Nasser and believes 100% in the nationalist discourse from national unity to conspiracy against Egypt nonsense". This author has also noted that Pope Tawadros (and also President Sisi) are both products of the Nasser era and its educational system. A contemporaneous boy, now an adult, can recall with precise details, considerable sympathy and a touch of horror, the civics curriculum that all Egyptian boys learned at that time. Any analogy between the Coptic Orthodox Church and the Egyptian Army would be highly inaccurate, but both are conservative male institutions, which promote the ethics of unquestioned obedience and selfless sacrifice. The men who rise to lead major institutions are usually formed by them as well. It takes considerable physical and cultural distance, and decades of reflection, to alter such world views. Neither of these two men had that luxury. Both perceive themselves as captains in troubled times.
A powerful boyhood memory has Pope Kyrillos VI, an opponent of immigration, addressing a small audience in his ante-chamber. The quiet man, since canonized, who exuded authority and holiness, dressed in a black Gallabyia and socks, and a simple woven cross, reminded his audience that "we [meaning Copts] can not abandon Egypt in its time of trouble, for who else will lift it from its fall". To buttress his argument, he explained that the captain of a ship in a storm must navigate by three tools, trust in God, his knowledge of the seas, and the strength of his crew. The opinions of the passengers were notably absent in that parable. Most of the men and women in that room were on the verge of immigration. Time would show that his arguments made little difference in their determination. For almost all of them, immigration heightened both their attachments to their immigrant lands and also to Egypt. During the troubled times of the 1970s and early 1980s many favored noisy demonstrations to highlight their cause. Some even pooled their meager resources to buy expensive full page ads in publications such as the New York Times to complain of rising discrimination and harassment of Egyptian Copts. Although those times were troubled, they now seem halcyon in comparison. The best that can be said about these efforts is that they were well-intentioned, naive and ineffectual. Centuries of oppression under Arab and foreign rule inculcated bad habits in all Egyptians, and especially so among Copts. Most damaging was an inability to project themselves into a mindset of power, and preference for pleading outside the walls over compromising for a seat at the table.
It is now decades later and the Copts of North America and Australia have evolved considerably. Second and third generations have less cultural baggage from a life in Egypt. How these men and women will heed the Pope's call remains unclear. But one hopes that they will draw lessons both from their new native lands and their ancient ancestral land of Egypt. Egypt today is an object lesson in the futility and danger of anger and retribution. It is the land of the unforgiven, where the oppressed and the oppressors, sometimes one and the same, seem unable to chart a future unblemished by the memory of hurt, real or imagined, or guided by the dignity of unsolicited forgiveness. In stark comparison stands America, which has the largest number of Copts outside Egypt. Even in this season of anger, the country remains focused on honoring unfulfilled promises and finding a common constructive path. It is likely that most Copts will prove to be obedient sons and daughters. It will be troubling if those who disobey will favor nonconstructive venting. The real question for Pope Tawadros is not one of obedience, but of direction. If disobedience is the road of failure, then what is the road of success that favors the obedient? It is a question well worth asking of all leaders in Egypt who demand unquestioned loyalty but offer no clear vision or sufficient competence. The passengers, it maybe said, can both trust the captain and ask for a destination. It wise of leaders to warn against the path of ineffectual protest, but wiser still to seek alternative views and build a constructive consensus. Perhaps future emails will do so.

June 19 1926Posted: June 19, 2016 Filed under: Egypt, Egyptian Politics Leave a comment
The procession started from a Red Sea port toward Mecca as it had done for nearly a century. The carrier (Mahmal) contained the covering for the Holy Ka'aba (Kiswa) . It had been a tradition since the rise of modern Egypt in the 1820s to provide this annual change of covering. Some say the tradition dated back to the twelfth century. But in 1926 things had changed in Arabia. Abdel Aziz Ibn Saud and his band of Wahabis were now uniting much of the peninsula under his rule. Some of these Wahabis objected to the music and celebration accompanying the procession. The Egyptian police escort responded with a customary delicate touch. They opened fire and killed upwards of two dozen men. Then continued on their merry way. Back in Egypt, grumpy King Fu'ad was furious at the temerity of the victims. He asked the British, who held sway in Arabia and to a lesser extent in Egypt, to allow him to become King of the Arabs (he spoke a bit of Arabic). A conference was being organized in Egypt at that time to make him Caliph of all Muslims, a prospect that was met with no appetite among most Muslims, save Fu'ad's sycophants. The British demurred and then offered a flat out No. Fu'ad would not recognize Saudi Arabia for the rest of his life. In fact, he sent a mission to Yemen to see if he can stir up trouble for the new "Saudi" Kingdom there. His son Farouk would recognize Saudi Arabia in a flourish of Islamism that characterized his rule. A rising young community organizer, Hasan Al Banna, would be photographed kissing the hand of the Saudi King, A noted intellectual at the time, Salama Moussa, predicted that all this nonsense would come to a very bad end. A year into his reign, Farouk pulled an interesting stunt. He was visiting Luxor's Valley of the Kings. The noted Egyptologist Howard Carter was ready to receive his Majesty and guide him. He prepared explanations of such Pharaonic symbols as the "Key of Life" and "Key of Happiness". Farouk would not listen, He pulled out a copy of the Qur'an and kissed it, "This is the key of life; this is the key of happiness", he chortled as he hastily went back to his car.
The rest is, as they say, history. A very bad history indeed, at least for Egypt.

Casual Friday [vol. 1]
Friday, January 10, 2014 • Casual Friday, NYC
Well guys we made it through the first full week of the year! 1 down...
> So I really want to try the restaurant Hearth this weekend because 1. it's located in my neighborhood and 2. it serves my all time favorite winter meal: RIBOLLITA.
> Some other things I want to try around the city: visit Haven's Kitchen (and possibly take a cooking class there), stop by the Pearl River Mart in Soho, eat at Locanda Vini & Olii because the chef is from Florence, and maybe try bottomless brunch at Agave. Can I fit that all in?
> Girls starts again on Sunday! Thank God because I just finished House of Cards and now I don't know what to do with myself. Maybe read this 700 page baby for #bookclub.
> Kale smoothies have become my life. My favorite: kale + banana + strawberries + almond milk. I heard cauliflower was the new "it" vegetable (???), but I'm still channeling my inner Gwenyth Paltrow with the kale. However, I do want to make this orange combination of yum-ness.
> Along with my post workday kale smoothie, my workday lunches were also on a detox this week. This quinoa salad and this kale salad (what, I love kale ok) are equally healthy & delicious.
> Carin's (from Paris in Four Months) Instagrams of Florence killed me all week. Take me back!
> I wish I was wearing this outfit.
> This was my first full week of work since before Thanksgiving. TGIF to me!

Belle by Kim Gravel Open Front Lace Motorcycle Jacket is rated out of 5 by 25.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Tshirtgal from My first Belle item - love the excellent quality The quality and styling of this jacket are exceptional. I am a size 12/14 and ordered a large. It fits perfectly. I ordered the magnolia color and that is exactly what it looks like - very soft and pretty. The shoulders are in the right place, and the drape on the front is good even on busty ladies like myself. The arms are not too right - just right. Just to confirm, the front "zipper" is non-working. It is for decor only so you cannot close the jacket which is fine because you would not want to diminish the look and beauty of the front. Actually, it downplays rather than accentuates the bust area. The lace is stretchy and beefy and soft. It is going to hold up well with wear. I am a senior and this is stylish, modern and pretty. I believe I have found an alternative to Susan Graver a line that has become the same ol - sane ol. And, the price point for what I received is a good value. I recommend giving the Belle line a try.

Rated 5 out of 5 by MinnGirl from Classy and beautiful I purchased this jacket in the bordeaux in a medium; I can fluctuate between a medium and a large and the medium worked. I happened to have a shell that matched perfectly. Love this jacket. I hope to also purchase it in white for the summer.

Can be dressy or not! Love it!! Just because I am over 55 does not mean I don't want to be stylish...this is great for any age, without being too young for me!

Rated 5 out of 5 by simonds from Perfection this is the softest lace . . . good stretch. I usually wear a large sometimes an extra large, this wasn't available in a large so I got the white extra large. I'm glad I did, fits perfect. It's just made very well, love the drape. It's adorable, wish the burgundy wasn't sold out I would have gotten that also. Thanks Kim for quality clothing.

Rated 5 out of 5 by nwildwood from Excellent All three colors work for me! Love that it is a long sleeve so that it is year round wear. Edgy. Flattering. You may need to play a bit with the collar placement to get the drape you like.

Rated 5 out of 5 by MaggieLovesNola from All Three Colors Are Dynamite I have purchased all three colors in my normal QVC size and all three fit and look good. I wear a L or XL - went with the XL and they fit well. The arms are not too tight and don't exaggerate the 'fullness' of the arm. The drape of the jacket is perfect, it's slimming and flattering. Sometimes only black works for my excess size and weight, but all three even the white works. The hardware is perfect, just a little edgy. I am a happy buyer. Perfect for work, fun, and everyday wear. I have the matching tank in black and magnolia.......love the items so far.

Rated 1 out of 5 by deedee58 from Not really Got it today. Wanted to love it but I don't . I bought the white. The dark hardware looks terrible . The front non functioning zipper looks terrible. Collar does not lay properly. Runs a little small. I wanted to love it but unfortunately I don't. Sorry it going back.

Rated 5 out of 5 by cosmicquality from On Trend without being Trendy I got this so I can have some arm coverage with tops & tunics that do not have sleves. I am at the age where I do not like my upper arms that much and would rather not expose them. I think this is a great transition piece from summer to fall and also great if I would be going to an overly airconditoned place in the summer. it is also great to elevate a look so it is suitable for going out to eat at a nice restaurant, for example, or a party. I got the black. That was a nobrainer for me. I like the fit of this item and that it is versatile. I have very large breasts and I think this style is very forgiving because it is open in the front. I like that the lace fabric is a contrast to the moto style. I am looking forward to seeing more styles from Ms Kim. I also love that this is not made from polyester because I am alergic to polyester.

Welcome to Evander's new and improved website, where you can now browse the full range of products and services we have available. We've worked hard to create a site which is easy to navigate and which is completely transparent when it comes to pricing, making it easy budget for your home improvements and repairs.
Dedicated product guides and descriptions have been – and will continue to be – added to the site to ensure that it's easier than ever to find the right window, door, garage door, security product or accessory that you want for your home. Of course, our team is still available to contact directly should you have any questions about our range. There are numerous ways to contact us, so whether you prefer email, webchat or the telephone, we've got you covered.
Understanding What Works For Our Customers
In December we launched our dedicated garage door site, listing all of our garage doors along with sizes and pricing – something which we believed was missing from the marketplace at that time. After a great response from our customers, we then decided to use this 'blueprint' to showcase all of our products, from security alarms to BiFold patio doors. The finished product is the site you see here, and we hope that we've made it as easy as possible for our customers to find exactly what they're looking for. In essence, the site is an online catalogue and resource centre for all Evander products and services.
Providing Transparent Pricing
As many of our products are customisable, the prices will vary depending on the door design chosen. For this reason, where we are unable to list all prices for the various combinations, we've shown the price for one of the most commonly requested specifications. For example, our composite door collection comes in 19 different styles, with 12 door colours, up to 18 different glazing design options, as well as a wide choice of hardware and accessories to choose from. Due to this, we have clearly specified what the displayed price is based on so that you can get an idea of the costs.
You are more than welcome to make a query through our Contact Us form or via telephone on 0345 145 0130 in order to get a comprehensive quote tailored to you for any of our customisable ranges.
Creating a Useful Resource
At the very top of the page, above the Evander logo, we have utilised a small primary menu which gives you access to many helpful pieces of information, including testimonials, a branch locator (we have over 20 branches situated all over the UK), information on our accreditations and pictures of recent work we have completed, to name just a few. If you scroll to the very bottom of each page, you'll see a footer menu which takes you to the various guides, articles, news and FAQs. We are always adding to these sections of the site, so keep checking back to find out more.
We hope that you'll find our new website useful and informative. If you have any feedback or questions, we'd be happy to hear from you.

Spies in the American Revolution
For September, we are reading a book about Washington's spy ring in the New York area (by Kilmeade, who is, alas, a Fox News hack). If you are interested in learning more about the subject, I might recommend The Fox and The Hound, by Donald Markle (currently in the sales area of Barnes & Noble!), which covers spy operations in all campaigns of the war. For an even more comprehensive look, check out Spies, Patriots, and Traitors: American Intelligence in the Revolutionary War, by Kenneth Daigler (available in paperback as well as Nook). Too interesting a topic to be given as shallow a presentation as Kilmeade.

SPOKANE, Wash. - Gonzaga University senior Heather Dunn had her 11th double-double of the season, and fourth in a row, to help the women's volleyball team to a 3-0 (30-20, 32-30, 30-27) sweep of the University of Portland in a West Coast Conference match-up Saturday afternoon at the Martin Centre.
With the win the Bulldogs improved their record to 14-7 overall and 2-3 in conference, while the Pilots dropped to 7-12 overall and 0-5 in the WCC. The 14 wins are the most victories for the Zags since the 1994 campaign when GU closed out the season at 17-12.
Besides Dunn, who closed out the match with 45 assists and 12 digs, the Bulldogs had one other player finish the contest with a double-double. Senior Becky Jones collected her 10th double-double of the season with 12 kills and 12 digs.
Senior Briawna Mueller had a strong all-around performance for GU. The middle blocker had 10 kills in the victory and a match-high .421 hitting percentage, along with three digs, five block assists and two solo blocks. Mueller, who now has 479 total career blocks to her credit, hit the 100 career solo block mark with her two in the win today. Mueller also has 379 career block assists and is only 30 block assists away from breaking the Bulldog career record held by Lisa Petticord (408).
Freshman Allyson Powell also had a strong match for Gonzaga finishing the contest with a career and match-high 18 digs. Senior Alecia Douglas added 12 digs as the Bulldogs out-dug the Pilots 70-47.
Leading the way for Portland was Maria Clemens with her match-tying high 13 kills. Jessica Clemens and Ashley Grayson added 10 and eight kills, respectively. J. Clemens also had 11 digs and four blocks in the setback, while Grayson added four digs and six blocks.
Gonzaga will be back in action Thursday, Oct. 18 when it plays at the University of San Francisco. Match time is set for 7 p.m.

|Useless opening in a door.
Turns out the four blocks part is irrelevant.
I mailed it Monday--handed it to my carrier--and it arrived Friday.
Five days...
I was calling the bank, calling the PO. Finally I learned that first class letters take four days within out little suburb of Chandler--not to the East Coast, within the suburb. First, of course, they go to downtown Phoenix, then wend their way back.
The woman at the Post Office said they concentrate these days on packages--more lucrative. She added--"Some companies are upset because they mail checks."
Well, no kidding!
And I am not kidding either when I tell you what the woman at the bank asked me. She asked, "When you buy stamps, don't they tell you how long mail takes...Let me look online."
If I bought stamps someplace where someone could "tell" me something, I could get to the bank.
I asked her had she ever mailed anything. She...said no, never had.
So this is it, Mailageddon!

I love you Steve – Part 3
Hi friends,
Once again welcome to the 3rd part of I love you Steve. In this post I am sharing the introduction of the First 10 chapters of the book "Steve Jobs – An Autobiography" by Walter Isaacson. Happy Reading Friends. Before that Welcome to APPLE INC
The book totally contains 42 chapters but before that it has a long long list of all the Characters in the book which I shall not be discussing it now as you will definitely get confused on a long run.
Let me tell you briefly about all the chapters so that you know what's so special about this book
Introduction: How this book came to be???
Was it Walter who went to Steve for writing this or was it Steve's desperate wish that he wanted to fulfill it before his death??? You will explore all these questions in this chapter
Chapter 1:
Childhood: Abandoned and Chosen
Recognize them?
Joanne Carole Schieble and Abdulfattah "John" Jandali
They are Steve Jobs biological parents…
What happened to them that they had to cast away Steve from their lives? How he was chosen by his current parents…all these things you can read it in this Chapter
Chapter 2
Odd Couple: The 2 Steve's
Recognize this man???
If No then you must go thru this Chapter…He is Mr. Steve Wozniak who served as a comrade in Steve's Apple Saga. The duo of Steve created something which the IT industry was perplexed.
Chapter 3
The Dropout: Turn on, Tune in
What's common between Steve and Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg????????
Yes that's right The DROPOUT factor. Is being a dropout an X factor or is that an essential element for one's success in this fast thriving competitive world?
Chapter 4
Atari and India: Zen and the art of Game Design
Recognize him???
He is one of the few lucky souls on this planet …..you know why?
Because he hired STEVE JOBS in his company…Most of the Apple Culture is derived from ATARI whose founder was Nolan Bushnell.
Can you imagine why Steve Jobs came to India? He came to meet this baba…
But then why didn't he invest much in India?
All these can be seen in this Chapter
Chapter 5
The Apple I: Turn On, Boot Up, Jack In . . .
This is what we call the product of Devils Workshop…The mighty Czar of IT industry set sail for a major voyage…and this was just the beginning…yes Apple is born
Chapter 6
The Apple II: Dawn of a New Age
Does Steve Stink??? How much did he score on personal hygiene and how he evolved as a gentleman…Entrance of Mike Markulla who came at a time when apple needed funding and managerial support…. Also you will read about Apple II in this chapter
Chapter 7
Chrisann and Lisa: He Who Is Abandoned. .
Did Local Integrated Software Architecture meant == Daughter LISA?? Or was it really the techie coincidence? Why was he so cold on his Girlfriend and denied that he was not the reason for his daughter Lisa??? Enter another face of Steve…
Chapter 8
Xerox and Lisa: Graphical User Interfaces
Good Artists Copy, Great Artists Steal- How far is this true? And Ethical? Would you dare to steal like Steve and pat your back saying "Yes I love being a Pirate"
Chapter 9
Going Public: A Man of Wealth and Fame
Man going rich…and that too at 26 years and expecting $600 million business in the same year….Seems like some Movie isn't it? Read this Chapter to see how he got thru all the obstacles to achieve this…
Chapter 10
The Mac Is Born: You Say You Want a Revolution
Enter the World's first amazing PC with Mouse and GUI…A revolution has begun and so is the Reality Distortion Field around everyone beside Steve.
You have to think big to be big.
You have to think big to be big.

Lambert 's Childhood:
Full Name: Catholina Lambert
Born on: March 28, 1834
Place: Goose Eye, Yorkshire
He was the eldest son of his parents. His Parents worked in Cotton Mills and had to travel around the country to find some work. Due to financial problems he studied only till age 10. Since age 10 he has been working in the mills. He earned respect from his owner at Boars Head Cotton Mill. The owner trained him well and by the time Lambert was 17 he had 7 years of apprenticeship experience.
Soon he discovered that America is the land of opportunities and at 17 he took his brother William and set sail to Liverpool with just 5 pounds in his pocket.
How those 5 pounds multiplied into several hundred pounds?
Early life in America:
At Boston he secured the job of book-keeping for just $4 in a silk mill. Silk Making was the new trend in America that time. So Lambert worked very hard and impressed his owner again. He was successful in securing a partnership in the firm. Soon he worked even more harder and became the owner of the Silk Mill and renamed the mill as "Dexter Lambert and Company"
Love Life:
He met Isabella Shattuck and married on September 9, 1857.
His business grew very rapidly and his silk mill became very famous. Isabella gifted him a land along the cliffs of Garret Mountain and this became his future destination of his dream castle "Lambert's Castle"
He and Isabella had 5 children named as
- Florence in 1859
- Frederick in 1861
- Walter in 1863
- Isabel Louise in 1866 and
- Clifford in 1869
They were very happy until there came a tragedy in his life…
Tragedy in Family:
His younger brother William with whom he came to America died mysteriously while travelling South America.
- In 1870, their infant son Clifford died of cholera.
- In 1871, their son Percy was born, only to die in 1882 of scarlet fever.
- Another son born in 1873 died within weeks of his birth.
- In 1875 his first son Frederick died of scarlet fever at the age of 13.
- A son, Harry was born in 1875, only to die in 1885 before the age of 10.
- Their oldest daughter Florence, married and had a child in 1882 and another child in 1883. She died of pneumonia soon after, at the age of 24. Florence's death was to forever sadden Lambert. In fact, one of the stained glass windows in the Castle is a portrait of Florence.
However his business prospered and he bought mills. He also built a mill in remembrance of his daughter Florence called as "Florence Mill". His oldest son Walter, 22 and son-in-law William Suydam ran the mill. His mill became a popular destination of all silk mill workers.
The Castle- A dream land of Lambert
Since he was a boy he had always dreamt of having castles like the ones in Yorkshire and Warwickshire
In 1891 he began designing a new home at Paterson, the place gifted by his wife Isabella for him years before. The castle was made up of sandstone and granite. The castle costed $1.5 million at that time. In 1892, the Castle was finished. In January 1893 the housewarming session was held in the presence of 400 people including President Mc Kinley.
In 1896, the 70ft observation tower was constructed on the crest of the cliff. A gallery was also added to display European ArtWork.
For quite some time he remained as a businessman only working 16 hours a day. And in 1900, he opened the castle's artifacts to be seen by public every saturday afternoon.
But…sooner or later all good things have to come to an end
The fall of Lambert's Empire:
These factors have been largely responsible for Lamberts fall
1900-1904– Paterson had Great Fire and 2 floods and a devastating tornado affecting all the businesses in that place
1901- His wife Isabella , 44 years old died
1904– He married Isabella's sister Harriet.
1913– The famous Paterson silk strike starts
WW1 and Silk Strikes ruined Lambert's business. He lost a large amount of wealth and was forced to sell his estate.
1916– He auctions a large part of his collection of artwork ( 368 paintings and 32 sculptures)
1917– He sold off his Silk Mill
Unlike other bankrupts …Lambert managed to clear all his debts and and was proud to repay every creditor from his own wealth. In Dexter Lambert Company too…none of the investors lost their money.
1923– Feb 15 he died at the age of 89. He is buried next to his wife, Isabella in Paterson
The Castle after his death:
1925– His son Walter sold the castle and the property for $125,000.
The Castle contains hundreds of acres of wooden area behind the cliffs above the castle. The Historical society now holds social gatherings, craft shows and fundraisers at the Castle. Its a favorite site for NEWLYWEDS taking wedding pictures. The Museum is open to the public throughout the year.
Sorry for making the post very lengthy…I hope you have enjoyed it till the end. All we can infer from Lambert's story is that we can also grow rich in our lives only if we start thinking BIG. Happy Reading and All the best for you people who wanna think big ….

I love you Steve – Part 1
It was a sunny day when I was roaming inside my company campus as I was in Free-pool period. During Free-pool usually guys love to spend more and more time in Dorms or strolling over the large corridors of the Campus admiring each and everything in the Architecture of the building. I usually prefer to dig myself in the dark basement of the Wipro Library which is my niche when I wanna spend some private time with Books.
This day as usual I finished checking my mails in the Library and as usual started my "book seeing" session which I daily do. See the books neatly stacked in the library and get unconditional joy out if it saying "hmm so much is there to Read in life….so much of Knowledge awaits me…" Suddenly I saw a voluminous book which was lying near the Table. It was in all white and yeah a big face on the front side of the book…I just kept saying "Oh my my…don't tell me it's here" Luckily to my surprise it's the book which I had always wanted to read….."Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson"
The reader in me tempted me and said "Come on what are you seeing? Go and grab it before someone else sees that.."
But the common sense in me which sprouts uncommonly shot a strong signal in my brains saying "No….Its a very huge book…What about the trunk full of books that you have bought it and stacked it in a neat pile…"
For a minute I was in dilemma but as usual the Reader in me won and finally I picked up the big book and I went to the Librarian and quickly filled all the details and soon I was off to my Cave…(the basement …..its like the Batman's underground cave)
I sniffed the Book…wow the smell of new book is always so nice. Thus began my journey with "The Most Influential Person" of this world.
A journey with Steve Jobs and how I too got mad in his Reality Distortion Field…(about Reality Distortion Field…. I shall explain to you in the upcoming posts)

True fact of Life
It's a true fact on life that most of us have already experienced in our lives. There are times when people abandon us leaving us into unlimited sadness and tears….Its during that time that we decide to turn on the radio inside our heart to capture the frequency of Music Station called "Life's Radio". It keeps humming us all the tunes which we have listened since the day our mothers sang us a lullaby…till the day when our loved ones sang the happy song for us….How lovely it is to feel the presence of Musical vibes and how delightful is its soothing effect….which makes us forget all the other pain in this Universe….and makes us go into another world….just like some Alice in Wonderland….
Like this post of it has touched your heart…

Why "Contradictions" Authenticate the Bible
Why "Contradictions" Authenticate the Bible
Dec 14, 2014 by Gary DeMar
The Bible (as well as the Constitution, Art 3, sec. 3) requires two witnesses to substantiate that an event has taken place (Deut. 17:6). The two-witness requirement is a safeguard for those accused of a crime. When an accusation is made and there is not a second witness, the single witness is investigated to see if he or she is telling the truth (Deut. 19:16-20). What's true in cases related to criminal actions is also true in cases related to factuality. The Bible applies its own two-witness standard to itself. This can be seen when the issue of harmonizing seemingly contradictory events is raised by skeptics. Here's an email I received:"I am struggling with a few things and would greatly appreciate your input. I have read the book by Mr. DeMar and am so grateful for his courage and insight. I still have questions though. One in particular. You state that the gospel had been preached to the entire world before the destruction of the temple in A.D. 70 [Matt. 24:14]. The Scripture says that Paul, in Romans 15:20, had expressed wishes to the Romans "to come to you whenever I journey to Spain." This was after the temple had been destroyed so how is it possible for your assumption to be correct if the gospel had not been preached in Spain after the temples demise? Please help me understand."

Fabio Aru finds peak of powers in mountains as Rigoberto Urán extends lead
Fabio Aru, the Astana rider, catapulted himself into the top four at the Giro d'Italia after claiming a superb victory in the 15th stage.
Aru waited until the final three kilometres to make his cutting late move as he attacked in the final part of the undulating 225-kilometre journey from Valdengo to Plan de Montecampione, gliding past Rigoberto Urán, the overall race leader, in the process.
The 23-year-old Sardinian got to grips with Fabio Duarte and Pierre Rolland, who had set the pace, and accelerated at the last to finish 21 seconds ahead of Duarte.
The demanding day amid the mountains proved to be ideal for Aru and his success has elevated him to fourth in the overall standings, 2min 24sec adrift of Urán in…
