It is now my pleasure to introduce your host for today, Mr. Martin Bloch, Executive Chairman of the Board of Frequency Electronics.
Martin B. Bloch, Frequency Electronics, Inc. - Executive Chairman & Chief Scientist [2]
Welcome, everybody. I'd like to turn this call over to the Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Stan Sloane. Stan?
Stanton David Sloane, Frequency Electronics, Inc. - President, CEO & Director [3]
Thank you, Martin. Welcome, everybody. Thanks for dialing in. Let me start off with positive news on the new business front. Number of opportunities we are currently pursuing continues to be robust, about $500 million in potential contracts. We ended the quarter with $40 million of backlog, up from $35 million the previous period. This does not include the contract value, which is not yet fully funded or the value of production options, which are not yet exercised. Quarter 2 ended with the largest backlog the company has seen since quarter 3 of fiscal year 2015.
Subsequent to the quarter end, we added another $4 million of backlog. The increase in backlog is, of course, a good leading indicator of revenue trends. I'm also pleased to tell you that immediately prior to this call, we received another contract for an additional $4.2 million, which is not yet reflected in our backlog numbers. We continue to be cash positive and have no debt.
Now the financial results for the quarter. Steve will walk you through the details, but let me offer a few thoughts before we turn the discussion over to him. Firstly, margin was impacted this quarter by additional engineering costs incurred on a few programs that are finishing up their development phase. Keep in mind, much of what we do is pushing the state of the art and the amount of effort required to solve complex technical issues can sometimes be unforeseen. This is typical of development programs where the technical issues tend to appear at certain cyclical points in the process, and that creates a lumpiness in the amount of engineering needed to resolve them. As we complete development and transition to production on these programs in the coming months, I would anticipate less cost fluctuation. These programs will generate future top line and bottom line growth once through these -- through this transition.
Secondly, revenue reductions resulting from slips in anticipated contract awards impacted not just the top line, but bottom line as well, due to under-absorption of overhead costs. I think the best indicator that this will turn around is what I said in my opening about increasing backlog.
Finally, we will maintain our continuing focus on improving operational efficiency, cost reduction and quality, not to mention technical innovation and excellence.
With that, let me turn the call over to Steve, and he will take you through the financial details. Steve?
Steven L. Bernstein, Frequency Electronics, Inc. - CFO, Secretary & Treasurer [4]
Thank you, Stan. Good afternoon. For the 6 and 3 months ended October 31, 2019, consolidated revenue was $21.6 million and $9.1 million compared to $23.2 million and $12.1 million for the prior fiscal year. The components of revenue for the 6-month period are as follows: revenue from commercial and U.S. government satellite programs was $9.4 million compared to $11.3 million for the same period of the prior fiscal year and accounted for approximately 44% of consolidated revenues compared to 49% for the same period of the prior fiscal year. Revenues on satellite payload contracts are recorded primarily under the percentage of completion method and are recorded only in the FEI-New York segment.
Revenues from non-space U.S. government and DOD customers, which are recorded in both the FEI-New York and FEI-Zyfer segments are $9 million compared to $10.4 million in the previous fiscal year and accounted for approximately 42% of consolidated revenues compared to 45% for the prior fiscal year.
Other commercial and industrial revenues was $3.2 million compared to $1.4 million in the prior fiscal year. Intersegment revenues are eliminated in consolidation.
For the 6- and 3-months periods ended October 31, 2019, gross margin and gross margin rate decreased to 12.8% and negative 13% as compared to 35.8% and 33.1% for the same periods in fiscal 2019. The gross margin and gross margin rate was impacted by increases in engineering costs incurred on several programs, which are in development phase, and which encountered unanticipated development challenges related to customer-driven technical requirements.
GAAP accounting requires that at the time of loss is anticipated on a contract that the entire estimated cost to complete is accrued at that time. In the quarter just ended, we had 2 development programs fall into this accounting with an impact of recognizing approximately $4 million charge to cost of goods sold.
For the 6 and 3 months period ended October 31, 2019, SG&A expenses decreased compared to the same period in fiscal 2019. For the 6 months ended October 31, 2019, and 2018, selling and administrative expenses were approximately 22% of consolidated revenues for both periods. While SG&A expense remains even as a percentage of consolidated revenue during the 6 months ending October 31, 2019, as compared to the 6 months ended October 2018, the actual dollar expenditures decreased by $439,000.
Research and development expenditures represent investment intended to keep company's products at the leading edge of time and frequency technology and enhance future competitiveness. The R&D rate for the 6 months ending October 31, 2019, was 17% of sales compared to 14% of sales for the same period of the previous fiscal year. The R&D rate for the 3 months ended October 31, 2019, was 16% of sales as compared to 13% of sales for the same period of the previous fiscal year. For the 6 and 3 months ending October 31, 2019, the company recorded an operating loss of $5.7 million and $4.9 million compared to $146,000 and $230,000 for the prior fiscal year. The change is largely attributable to the increasing engineering costs described previously, the increased cost affects gross margin and operating income.
Other income consists primarily investment income derived from the company's holdings of marketable securities. For the 6-month period ending October 31, 2019, other income included $125,000 dividend from Morion compared to $105,000 dividend in the previous fiscal year. This yields a pretax loss for the 6 and 3 months period ended October 31, 2019, of approximately $5.5 million and $4.9 million, compared to a pretax income of approximately $131,000 and $92,000 for the prior year. For the 6 months ending October 31, 2019, the company recorded a tax provision of $29,000 compared to $23,000 tax benefit for the same period of fiscal 2019.
For the 6 months ending October 31, 2019, consolidated net loss was $5.5 million or $0.61 per diluted share compared to income of $153,000 or $0.02 per share for the same period of the previous fiscal year. For the 3 months ending October 31, 2019, consolidated net loss was $4.9 million, or $0.54 per diluted share compared to income of $122,000 or $0.01 per diluted share for the same period of the previous fiscal year. For the 6-month period ending October 31, 2019, the company generated positive cash flow from operations of approximately $180,000. Our fully funded backlog at the end of October 2019 was approximately $40 million, up approximately $5 million from the previous quarter. The company's balance sheet continues to reflect a strong working capital position of approximately $40 million at October 31, 2019, debt-free, and a current ratio of over 5.9:1. The company believes that its liquidity is adequate to meet its operations and investing needs for the next 12 months and the foreseeable future.
I will turn the call back to Stan, and then we look forward to your questions later.
Thank you, Steve. I'm sure our thorough commentary has answered every possible question you might have. But nonetheless, if you have additional questions, please feel free to ask, and you can address them to any one of us or we'll be happy to field whatever you might be interested in. Operator? Jess?
(Operator Instructions) We'll go first to Brett Reiss at Janney.
Brett Reiss, Janney Montgomery Scott LLC - SVP of Private Client Group & Financial Advisor [2]
I guess my question is to Stan. Stan, do you think, going forward, the time for the decision-makers to make decisions on bids outstanding is going to be longer than the 12 to 18 months. You suggested it would be on past calls? And you've also, on past calls, said your success rate, on bids outstanding historically, was 50% to 70%. Do you think it's -- that's going to be rolled back a little bit?
So 2 questions. First one, a little hard on timing. There's -- in the commercial world, of course, very hard to predict when decisions are going to be made. On the government side, we have, of course, continuing resolution and other things. I don't -- I would say, I don't think anything is different this quarter than anything we've told you previously, and that would apply also to the second part of your question in terms of win rates.
The reason for the question, when you look -- I looked at your 2019 annual report, and you had $450 million bids outstanding. And embedded in that was $200 million from 4 months ago. We're in December, which is 8 months from the end of April and over a year, with the $200 million that was embedded in some of that $450 million. It's just a little disappointing that we haven't seen more robust rewards with all of these fish hooks you have in the pond.
Well, your numbers, I think you're including production options on existing contracts that we said were opportunities, but the timing on exercise on those, that's a different dynamic than what I think you're thinking about straight up competitive new bids, and those 2 things don't necessarily go together. I mentioned slippage in a couple of awards, and that is referring to new bids, not to slippages on exercise options. On the option side, those things are more tied to a development cycle on the program where we have to engineer. We have to design and produce and qualify initial units, and once that's done, then they have the ability to exercise the option. So I think that's -- I think your numbers include the things that had options on.
Next, we'll go to [Richard Jones], individual investor.
Unidentified Participant, [7]
My question is about the elevated engineering expenses. How long do you expect that those might continue? I know it's difficult, but I was really kind of floored by the size of the loss. And do you have any more that will have to be kind of written off the way Steve explained the $4 million? Yes, so that's my question.
So the programs that Steve referred to, the development cycle on that will be mostly complete over the next few months. And in terms of future programs, while, obviously, we don't anticipate that. We've made several improvements, I think, in our bid process to try and make sure that doesn't happen, but we do very technical development, and sometimes those things just end up being harder than what you thought.
You've recorded losses in the last 4 quarters, I think. How long do you think it will be before the company reports a profitable quarter again?
Stanton David Sloane, Frequency Electronics, Inc. - President, CEO & Director [10]
Well, we don't give guidance, of course, but we're working hard to get these development programs finished up, which are driving the current financials. And as I told you, those finish up in the next few months.
Operator [11]
We'll go next to Sam Rebotsky at SER Asset Management.
Sam Rebotsky;SER Asset Management;Portfolio Manager, [12]
The question is for Steve. Of the $4 million, how much was in the first quarter? How much is in the second quarter? And where were the engineering costs kept? Were they in the deferred expense account before you decided? And what decided to charge it off? And what happened?
Steven L. Bernstein, Frequency Electronics, Inc. - CFO, Secretary & Treasurer [13]
Yes, yes. What happened, it's all Q2 costs. So the -- if you look to about $2.1 million of it is that what I said was when you realize that a contract is going to be a loss, you have to accrue that number. So we accrued about $2.1 million of loss contract for those 2 programs. And then...
And so -- And the rest of the $4 million?
Is the cost -- the actual cost spent in the jobs this quarter.
Okay. And as Stan said, this will complete in the next couple of months. Do we have additional revenue? And just this -- a couple of million or so revenue without any gains or losses in the rest of the year.
Well, like I said, we don't give guidance, Sam, but the programs that contributed to the problem this quarter are the ones that I talked about finishing up. Can I guarantee we'll never have another program that has technical problems? No, I can't do that, but I don't foresee. There's nothing sitting there right now that appears to be a problem.
No, but what I'm saying, what Steve had said, based on the accounting treatment, you're supposed to accrue all costs on a contract, you're not going to make any money. So there's -- so normally, you'll get some more revenue and some more expenses and you'll breakeven on the balance. Let me go to the revenue. You talked about $4 million and $4.2 million potential contracts after the $40 million. Could we define that, Stan, the $4 million additional, that's above the $40 million backlog, and you referred to a $4.2 million. So would that get the backlog up to $48.2 million as of now?
No. The $40 million includes the -- there's 2 numbers. You're talking about the $4 million. The $40 million includes that -- does not include the $4 million yet. On top of that, today, we got another contract just prior to the call for $4.2 million. That's -- and that's in the press release, by the way, that is out this afternoon.
The $4.2 million, I see approximately $4 million of additional backlog. So it's not $4 million and $4.2 million, its $40 million backlog, plus $4 million, which might be $4.2 million?
Let me -- timing is important here. At the end of the quarter, we had $40 million in backlog, right?
Subsequent to the end of the quarter, we added $4 million of backlog. That's not reflected in the Q2 numbers. In addition to that today, we were awarded another $4.2 million contract. That also was not in the backlog.
Okay. And these $4 million and $4.2 million is fully funded?
They're not fully funded. Okay. Now in the language in the press release, it does not include in the contract, which is not yet fully funded or the value of production options, which are not yet exercised. Could we quantify a number of dollars out there that's not fully funded? We're bidding for about $500 million, but we expect additional revenue, which is not fully funded. Is it $10 million? Is it $20 million? Is it $30 million? What kind of number or what kind of -- and when do we expect these things to get funded?
So let me -- just to make sure I get you on the right baseline, in our backlog is only what is funded. So we have some contracts that -- where we have funding, and that funding is reflected in the backlog, but the contract value is higher than that. So the funding is not yet received, is not yet authorized. The likelihood that those will be funded is very high. In addition to that, we have contracts that have options, for example, production options. Those, of course, don't go into backlog, 2 things happen. One is the option has to be exercised. And secondly, it has to be funded. So for example, if you have an option for production for something for $10 and they exercise the option, but they only fund $2 of it, then only $2 goes into backlog, okay? Now in terms of the difference between what's actually on contract, what's not funded, to be honest with you, I don't have a precise number, and that goes up and down because stuff goes into backlog, then it comes out of revenue, and that fluctuates. So I don't want to give you a number because it probably would change daily.
Right, right. I'm just looking for a range. In other words, if we have a $40 million backlog, and plus we have $4 million and $2 million and which is potentially getting funded, do we have another $20 million or $30 million that needs -- that is we expect to get funded or could be funded because we started...
I'm not going to give you a number -- but if I were to sit down and do the calculation, I think your number is probably higher.
Okay, okay. And are we finding with the bids, the $500 million bids, is that -- that's basically the same from the last quarter. And would it appear that it's the same players, there's nothing that significantly changed. And is the contract sizes $50 million, $20 million, is it 10 contracts? I'm trying to just how many people are we bidding for, just some kind of ramifications?
First of all, our bids range from, Jeez, I think we had 1 the other day for $3,500 and a range to hundreds of millions of dollars. It's a mix but, of course, the larger ones typically include options. The total number of bids that we're pursuing us. I don't know, it's a pretty big spreadsheet. So I don't want to give you a number, but its significant numbers. Not a whole lot has changed on the larger bids between last quarter and this. There has been some, as I mentioned earlier, just some delays in people making decisions, but no significant differences.
All right. Hopefully, you've taken your medicine and you'll bid better that there -- you've bid on a contract that you have enough in there for Frequency to make a profit. Good luck, guys.
And we'll move to private investor, [Michael Eisner].
Unidentified Participant, [34]
This question is for Stan. You had a $4.5 million contract on October 24 of the base systems, and you had a $3 million contract with the government on November 18. Are you counting any of that? Is that in the $4 million plus in backlog you mentioned?
Yes, I think so. Steve, is all of it in there?
No, the backlog that I reported, the $40 million does not include that because those were after October 31.
No, I understand that, but is that in that $4 million that you mentioned?
The answer would be yes. And the additional, yes.
It will show up in the next -- this current quarter.
This current quarter.
And are you counting that $4.2 million as part of backlog or possible or opened?
No, that's not funded. We have not included that in backlog. We won't include until it's funded.
The $4 million is funded, but not the $4.2 million.
Yes, correct.
I think everyone was confused by that.
Most of it. I know it is confusing. The accounting is becoming more complex in the development of atomic clocks here, but we understand.
All right. In the press release, when are you going to transition to production, where we see revenue on top line revenue?
Well, on the program -- those specific programs that I referred to, that's what I was talking about, those finish up the development cycle over the next few months. And we have a lot of ongoing programs that are in production, not in development, but those specific programs in the next few months.
So hurt you so much, stuff just moved to the right this past quarter?
Yes, sort of a convergence of problems. The slippage in a couple of anticipated awards that would have converted to revenue, we had assumed. Secondly, these problems that we're talking about on the current program performance, and then, of course, the effect of the accounting, the percent complete accounting, that Steve referred to, sort of has a double effect.
All right. How is the GPS IIIF coming along?
Excellently. The program -- the development program is going very well, and we're very pleased with the results. Of course, we still have a lot ahead of us. We got a lot of qualification and testing, but the units are -- the initial units is in assembly and will be going into test before too long.
I assume you didn't add any more to the backlog on that.
Not on that one, but we have several opportunities in that $500 million number that relate to that.
Because I think at the annual meeting, I think there was like $100 million in backlog on that or in the fund, what we call that -- not backlog, outstanding bids?
So bids, yes. Specifically related to GPS, it's a pretty significant number.
Yes. 1.5 years ago, you had -- you received an Elcom contract for advanced and Electronic Warfare. How is that coming along?
I think you're referring to the AOEW program?
From a technical point of view, that's progressing pretty well. Initial units have been delivered and the customers evaluating.
All right. On the 2 recent contracts, the small $4.5 million, $3 million, does that lead to bigger contracts?
$1 million here, $1 million there, they add up to larger numbers. The -- yes, I mean, obviously, we would hope that those would lead to other things. Those -- that -- the 1 contract that I talked about today, the $4.2 million, that program has -- that's for initial satellites. The program -- if the government approves the whole program, there's more satellites to follow. So that one has some nice potential for us.
And did you hire any salespeople?
Since -- it depends on what time frame, but we have added salespeople, particularly in Elcom and additional sales and marketing resources here in New York also.
So how many -- in the last 6 months, how many salespeople?
Well, at Elcom, it's 1, but remember that, that's a relatively smaller business. But we're augmenting the employee folks that are associated with sales and marketing with outside consulting support.
So you didn't hire them directly or indirectly, you have some people?
Well, both. Indirectly, we're bringing consultants in. We don't have presence, for example, in certain places where we have key customers, given the size of the company. We can't afford to have 100 salespeople. So we do some sales -- we have sales reps, and we have representation in certain markets. And when we do that typically through third parties.
So they are not W2 employees are just consultants that get paid on commission, I assume.
Some of them are commissioned, some of them are hourly, and it depends on what they're doing.
All right. I'll just make a comment. The top 3 people last year took $1.4 million in salary roughly, and we're losing money. We have to move forward. We have to start making money. I think we haven't made any money in a year.
Yes. We agree.
In the past year, it's just a lot. We just lost $5 million this quarter. I am here 20 years in this company. I want to see some results finally.
Yes. You and me both.
We'll go next to private investor, [Michael Cooper].
I just want to talk about some of your development projects, and get a little bit more clarity on what is being developed here that is going to open up new markets for the company or expand your existing markets? And you have made a couple of comments on a digital rubidium atomic clock that I think is taking resources to develop. Can you give us some sense of what is a digital rubidium atomic clock? What are the market opportunities? Is this a software development? Is this something where you will sell encrypted keys to customers? I have no idea what it is. It sounds intriguing, but I'm not sure what it is. So maybe you could talk about that a little bit? And...
Okay. So atomic clock is a very precise clock. It's a clock. It keeps a very good time. Satellites, such as GPS and communication satellites and a variety of other things use are dependent on precise time and that's what the atomic clock provides. The particular technology that we're using here on the clock you're referring to is rubidium clock. That's pretty well-known from a science and physics point of view. The DRAFS clock you're referring to, Digital Rubidium Atomic Frequency Standard, is an evolution of our previous rubidium clocks, and it adds a digital control circuitry. Don't think of this as a software development, however, this is a hardware system that provides time and frequency reference for very high-performance satellite systems. The relevance of the DRAFS program, that's what's being developed for the -- specifically for the GPS IIIF program, and that's what I was referring to earlier that, that's the progress on that program is going very well. That same clock is applicable to other satellites where the requirements for either precision time or frequency are also a requirement. So it's not applicable only for the GPS III program. The -- did that answer your question?
Yes. So it's still focused on space. In a lot of the reading I'm doing on what atomic clocks can be used for, I'm seeing a lot in the 5G area. I'm seeing reports out, suggesting that timing synchronization is so important in 5G, it requires atomic clocks, I guess, in cell towers and that type of thing, I'm not sure where they would go. But that atomic clock technology is very important for the evolution of 5G and then some of these other -- the airlines and their ability to offer Wi-Fi. There was somebody talking about that, I think on CNBC just a week ago or so, suggesting that airlines can't give away free Wi-Fi right now because the bandwidth would crash their systems or something like that, but I recall Martin talking about Frequency Electronics possibly having a solution for the airline industry, and I know you installed those WAAS systems in the satellites. And I'm wondering, so is there -- is that opportunity getting closer? Or is it moving away? And is -- what I'm reading about the atomic clocks in the 5G networks, is that at all relevant to Frequency Electronics?
So first of all, let me say the DRAFS clock -- started the conversation is a space-qualified clock, will be space qualifying clock, but the technology of that clock is also applicable to a variety of other things. In fact, if you look at the history of the company, for the last 58 years, we just add up the numbers of clocks that we've delivered is probably more on the ground side than it would be on the space side. They tend to be a little different types of clocks and different requirements and other things, but don't think of that clock is only applicable for space. The types of clocks that we do here are very high performance. The requirements for things like commercial, cellular and 5G are not that level of performance. We're not focused here on producing the sort of that level of performance commercial device. Our principal market here is high performance, high value-added types of clocks.
Okay. And just one final question. So the platforms in the military I've seen, and I'm talking planes, ships, submarines, I guess, tanks, I've seen numbers around 20,000 platforms out there in the military. Is that a target market for you?
Depends on the particular platform. We do a lot of oscillators for airborne applications. That is sort of a unique environment. Well, I shouldn't say that, anything that moves or has a machinery in it or flies or drives has vibration, and the vibration affects the performance of the oscillators. We do very high-performance oscillators that are immune -- mostly immune to that sort of vibration. They typically go into high-value platforms, things like airplanes, UAVs. So that would be the way to think about it. It's applicable to a lot of platforms. Now in addition to things that moves, we also do a lot of precision clocks and oscillators, for example, for secure communication systems that don't necessarily -- they're not necessarily installed on moving platforms, but they still have very high-performance requirements. They're used to, for example, to mitigate the problems associated with spoofing and jamming on the GPS program. So it's a mix. So when you say platform, don't just think of moving platforms, a lot of platforms that don't move what we would describe as platforms.
Okay, great. And I hope the gross margin grows at least somewhat next month and then grows next quarter and then grows substantially after that.
We're working hard to make that happen.
(Operator Instructions) We'll go next to Robert Smith at the Center for Performance Investments (sic) [Investing].
Robert Smith;Center for Performance Investments;Founder, [86]
I'd like to get a little more color about the landscape of the numbers. So the $500 million that you're bidding on, can you tell me something about this? Is this all-inclusive?
Yes, that's the sort of a rough number associated with the total number of the outstanding.
And you said your win number is somewhere between 50% and 70%?
Typically, yes.
Over what period of time (inaudible) encompass and as far as a number of years?
Yes, we don't know. It's -- programs move around. Sometimes they sometimes programs get canceled. If they cancel a program, we wouldn't treat that as a loss. That's not a loss. It's just somebody decided not to buy anything.
Well, as I run from 1 year to 5 years, is that something like that.
If you're asking about the program performance, our typical...
I'm trying to get to an average annual numbers, so to speak, a rational number that translates to your current backlog.
Well, our revenue -- I mean, if -- for argument's sake, if you say revenue is around $50 million, then in order to grow that number, you have to pursue x number -- x dollars worth of new business, and that has to execute over some period of time. In that $500 million, there's a mix of stuff, some of it is contracts that execute over a couple of years. Some of it is opportunities that for production, things that get delivered in 6 to 8 months. So it's a mix.
Yes. I understand it's a mix, but what would be an average point of that mix as far as time goes?
I'm not sure I understand the question. Asking when that $500 million will be adjudicated?
Let's say if you won 50% of $500 million, that's $250 million. If it -- if the average point would be 5 years, that would be $50 million. It will be -- if it be 2.5 years, it's a different story than you would you have an opportunity to double your revenue.
Yes. Well, the arithmetic is not far off, but remember that some of these programs, for example, satellite -- high-value satellite program that has options in it, that might be worth, let's say, for argument's sake, $50 million. The initial part of that may be over 2 years, but the options may run over 3 or 4 years.
Robert Smith;Center for Performance Investments;Founder, [100]
Well, what do you suggest to me to try and come up with some kind of a rational number to see what your potential is over the next few years to move that needle as far as your revenue number, which has been kind of static for a long, long time?

Well, if we were to win the reasonable share of those programs and adjust for cancellations and other things that are beyond our control, then we should be growing the business. Your arithmetics are not far off.
Does the passage of the defense budget have any meaning to you in the moment?
Some of the slippages, I think, are related to the CR, but most of the things that we have underway right now are prior programs. They are not affected by the CR. There's a couple of larger commercial programs, which have nothing to do with the defense budget, but are affected by decisions about, for example, people being able to raise funding to get their constellations launched and things like that.
Can you tell me anything about the competition in the atomic clock area or alternative?
What would you like us to tell you?
Whatever you can tell me.
Well, we're not the only people in the world that build atomic clocks, it depends on the country. And China has -- they make clocks. Nobody makes the clock level of precision that we do.
Which is targeted to a certain market. So essentially, you have a leg up on any competitive forces that might be around for high-value atomic clocks.
We think we offer performance advantages on both the space side and the terrestrial side in terms of the clocks, not only the performance, but the reliability. Track record in space is very important, particularly in the space to defense customers. And the best example I'll give you is the clock that's on the Voyager spacecraft. I think Martin actually saw the electronics in that clock that has been out in the space for 50-something for 40, 42 or 43 years, I forget what it is. 1977 it was launched. So when we talk about reputation and trust, those are very -- those are probably equally as important as cost in this business.
Is there anything around that might replace the atomic clock?
No. Atomic clocks are -- various types of atomics are being developed, but there's nothing that's -- that at least we are aware of that would replace the atomic clock.
Operator [112]
We'll go next to [Richard Jones], private investor.
Unidentified Participant, [113]
You mentioned on the last call and also at the annual meeting that there was an important Air Force contract, I think, in the neighborhood of $35 million, $37 million. That was on hold and that you'd learn more about in the middle of December. What's the status of that program?
No change. The contract is still active. And -- but we -- at the moment, we don't have funding. You're referring to what is called the [POPRC] program, which was Optically Pumped Rubidium Clock, we were developing for Air Force Research Lab.
When do you think you might get a resolution on that?
So I don't know. If I were that smart, I wouldn't be working here.
Okay. And the recent news about the military budget included news that the Pentagon was going to create a new section relating to space and to military warfare and space. That sounds like a pretty encouraging thing for your company. I mean pretty exciting thing. How do you look at it?
Yes, I think that's good. I think it's good for the space business overall. How that sorts out politically. We're sort of immune, but I think what's more important to us is the budget trends and the key programs that are either under procurement or in the procurement cycle for satellites.
And gentlemen, I have no other questions holding. I'll turn the conference back for any additional or closing comments.
Great. Thank you very much. Martin, would you like to make any closing comments?
Martin B. Bloch, Frequency Electronics, Inc. - Executive Chairman & Chief Scientist [121]
My voice is back a little. I want to wish everybody a very happy and healthy holiday season. And my thanks and appreciation to all the people at FEI that are working very hard to achieve progress. Thank you. Have a great holiday.
Ladies and gentlemen, that will conclude today's conference. We thank you for your participation. You may disconnect at this time, and have a great day.

Labour welfare fund is a statutory contribution managed by individual state authorities. The state labour welfare board determines the amount and frequency of the contribution. The contribution and periodicity of remittance differs with every state. In some states the periodicity is annual (Andhra Pradesh, Haryana, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu etc.) and in some states it is to be contributed during the month of June & December (Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra etc.)
What is Labour Welfare Fund?
Labour welfare is an aid in the form of money or necessities for those in need. It provides facilities to labourers in order to improve their working conditions, provide social security, and raise their standard of living.
To justify the above statement, various state legislatures have enacted an Act exclusively focusing on welfare of the workers, known as the Labour Welfare Fund Act. The Labour Welfare Fund Act incorporates various services, benefits and facilities offered to the employee by the employer. Such facilities are offered by the means of contribution from the employer and the employee. However, the rate of contribution may differ from one state to another.
Scope of Labour Welfare Fund Act
The scope of this Act is extended to housing, family care & worker's health service by providing medical examination, clinic for general treatment, infant welfare, women's general education, workers activity facilities, marriage, education, funeral etc. State specific Labour Welfare Funds are funded by contributions from the employer, employee and in few states, the government also.
In order to provide social security to workers, the government has introduced the Labour Welfare Fund Act. This act has been implemented only in 15 states out of 34 states including union territories.
The below table depicts the states in which the Act has been implemented and not implemented:
Not Applicable States
The contribution in the Labour Welfare Fund may be made annually, half yearly or monthly. The frequency may differ depending upon the state specific Act. Further, if the frequency is half yearly the period of deduction shall be divided into two consecutive periods as per the date mentioned in the state specific Act. The employer needs to make the deduction from the salary of the employee and submit the same to the Labour Welfare Fund board in the prescribed form before the due date.
Labour Welfare Fund Expenditure.
In general, the money in the Fund may be utilized by the Board to defray expenditure on the following:
Educational facilities for the children of the workers.
Medical facilities for both private and public-sector employers to facilitate medical facilities for their workers and their families.
Transport facilities to the workers for commuting to work.
Recreational facilities in form of music, dance, drama, games, sports, paintings, etc. are usually offered to the employees to build a wholesome working environment.
Housing facilities under this scheme offer loans to industrial workers for constructing houses at concessional rates.
Excursions, tours and holiday homes.
Home industries and subsidiary occupations for women and unemployed persons.
Reading rooms and libraries.
Vocational training.
Nutritious food to children of employees.

Jeremy Hammond, a 28-year-old Internet activist and WikiLeaks informant from Chicago, was sentenced to 10 years in federal prison and three years of supervised release on Nov. 15 after pleading guilty to hacking into the servers of the Texas-based private global intelligence company Strategic Forcasting (Stratfor) and leaking the information he gathered to WikiLeaks.
The sentencing was prescribed under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA) and Hammond's sentence could have been four times as long if he had not pleaded guilty, according to Reporters Without Borders.
Hammond, member of the hacker group AntiSec, told a Manhattan court that he was directed by an FBI informant to break into the official websites of several governments around the world, according to the Guardian. Hammond "told a federal court for the southern district of New York that a fellow hacker who went under the internet pseudonym 'Sabu' had supplied him with lists of websites that were vulnerable to attack, including those of many foreign countries. The defendant mentioned specifically Brazil, Iran and Turkey before being stopped by judge Loretta Preska, who had ruled previously that the names of all the countries involved should be redacted to retain their secrecy," the Guardian reported.
A cache of 5.2 million leaked emails and account information for about 860,000 Stratfor subscribers and clients, including 60,000-credit cards-worth of information, emerged from the Stratfor hack, reported the Huffington Post. WikiLeaks then published the information obtained from the emails, with the help of 25 news platforms and organizations.
The information that Hammond obtained by hacking into Stratfor was posted on another platform by Barrett Brown, a journalist who could face up to 105 years in prison for various charges related to his reporting on the hacker collective Anonymous and private intelligence firm Stratfor.
The Obama administration has waged the most aggressive campaign against whistleblowers in U.S. history and Hammond was the fourth whistleblower to receive a long jail sentence just this year alone in the United States, Reporters without Borders said. The administration is responsible for six of the nine total indictments ever brought by any single administration under the Espionage Act of 1917.
Hammond was arrested on March 5, 2012 after prosecutors said that he was a member of a group called AntiSec (or Lulzsec), an Anonymous offshoot, based off of information provided by an FBI mole in AntiSec. He was also convicted for distributing the bank account details of Stratfor clients, which had resulted in the illegal transfer of 700,000 to NGO accounts.


Here is an idea that I admit I have not tried myself, but I have read of others doing similar strategies and finding it to work well.
First, make a menu for the week, include breakfasts, lunches and dinners.
For example, plan on inexpensive breakfast burritos for the week day mornings..... and write down everything needed to make enough for everyone in the family for the week.
Plan the lunches for every day of the week. PB&J, perhaps? Tuna? Bologna sandwiches? Write down every ingredient for each lunch needed during the week.
Finally, plan the dinner menu for the week. Again, write down every ingredient you will need, down to the Parmesan cheese for spaghetti.
When you do your shopping, do it alone if possible to avoid impulse/bribery buying that kids have a tendency to encourage us to do.
When bad things happen....they can be costly. Car repairs are one of the things that can wipe out our budget in just minutes. And when you or your spouse are not exactly mechanically knowledgeable, car repairs become essential from time to time. You want to get quotes, referrals, testimonials and quality work of course, if you do unfortunately need work done on your car, such as auto body shop irvine offers their clients. You need to know that you are getting the best work done for the best price possible. Reviewing previous customers testimonials will help you know if quality work is provided by the car repair shop you choose. It is also imperative to make sure your car insurance is kept currrent so when bad things happen, you are covered.
Make angel food cake as directed on box.
Pour boiling water into jello mix, and stir well. Refrigerate about 10-15 minutes or until mix is thickened but not set.
Mix cold water with lemonade concentrate to make 2 cups.
Add this mixture to the jello mixture and blend until frothy.
Beat the whipped cream until firm, then add to jello mixture.
Divide cake into small pieces, about 1 inch each piece, and fold into jello mixture as well.
Cover and refrigerate about 4 hours. Cut cake into squares, serve and enjoy!!
Staying healthy is something everyone wants to do, but also something we probably all need motivation with. Spending time and money on our health now may help prevent catastrophic health problems later on. Even when we are trying to cut costs and save money, our health is one area that we shouldn't cut corners on. Getting the best medical services we can is so important whether it be for regular check ups to stay healthy, or for major surgery such as what lap band houston offers people that need to lose weight to improve their health. Eating well, exercising regularly and being proactive when it comes to our health are things we should all be doing everyday to help prevent expensive health problems from taking over our lives and wallets.
When you have extra money to use towards paying credit card debt, use that extra money on just one card. Pick the credit card you have the lowest balance on, and then work towards paying it off completely. Send in extra money along with the minimum monthly payment, as often as you can, until that card is paid off.
Then start paying off the next credit card the same way. Use the money you would have sent on the first card, the minimum payment due each month, along with the regular payment you send in each month on the second card, and you will get that card paid off faster too.
Move on to the third card. Keep budgeting credit card payments for the first two cards that you have already paid off. Just use those monthly payments for your third credit card now. You should see the credit card get paid off much quicker now.
One way to save some money each month is by saying goodbye to cable, and hello to free TV online.
Free TV Online sites such as Spreety TV Online : Watch TV Shows Online Free is a free service that offers news, sports, classic tv shows, movies, and more. I know many people are opting to do this great money saver, and are happy they did. Even if it is a temporary cutback, not paying the cable bill each month is going to definitely save you money!
So this is a simple and cheap dinner recipe my kids love! English Muffins are usually inexpensive, and you can top them with many different things, but with my kids, English Muffin pizzas are a big hit!
All I do is heat the English Muffins in the oven with some grated cheese and pizza sauce (spaghetti sauce works well). Add pepperoni slices or meatballs cut up in small pieces, if desired.
And of course add toppings like olives, pineapple, apples, ...whatever works!
With the pizzas, I usually have cut up carrots with some ranch dressing for dipping (this is pretty much the only veggie I can get my kids to eat right now!).
Add some vanilla ice cream with chocolate sauce for dessert.
Inexpensive and simple dinner to help save some money for Christmas!!
I know...it is mid-July. I know--it hot outside and the last thing on your mind is probably Christmas shopping. But did you know there are now appx. 165 days left till "The Big Day?" Start Saving for Christmas NOW--if you haven't already!
All you need to do to get a Christmas Savings going is simply put some money aside every night or morning, whichever works for you. The more the better of course, but try to aim for at least a dollar a day.
Make a commitment to NOT TOUCH that Christmas Money.
Now look at what you can save between now and December....of course when you start shopping will affect how many actual savings days you will have...but get out your calendar, mark down the day you would like to start shopping (say Dec. 10th), and count exactly how many days you have between now and then.
Pick a day of the week, and every week on that day, say Tuesdays for example, make it your personal "No Spend Day." You will still spend some money most likely, but focus on making this day each week one where you seriously reconsider spending money on things.
If you are focused and aware of your intentions, saving money that one day will happen more consistently. For example, rethink buying a newspaper that day. Or driving thru a fast food place for french fries. Skip the dry cleaners. Avoid grocery shopping if you can, and make do with left-overs at home. Skip the Frappacinos and bagels. Whatever you might pull out your wallet for on that day, try and do without it if you can.
At the end of that "No Spend Day," put the money you saved in a special jar or such, and each month, deposit the funds in an account!

AXIS froth is famous for its perfect balance between performance, early lift and ease of ride – a stable platform that packs plenty of volume into a short length to reduce swing weight and increase your fun while sup foiling or wingfoiling.
Axis' newest Froth foil board retains this personality, but they have made some important design changes – reflecting the movement towards higher aspect, lower drag foil designs that require more speed to lift-off. The following changes have been made on 2022 the board:
Eliminated the angle cut-away on the tail - This increases the length of the planing surface to increase sub- foiling speed potential.
Reduced the rail bevel - now fading out completely at the tail adding more width to the planing surface and straightening the water flow for even faster acceleration up to foiling speed.
pulled in the nose, made the outline more rounded and increased volume - to reduce the chances of catching in rougher water, compared to the more square nose from 2021. Axis have increased the thickness and volume up here too, to maintain a balance in buoyancy that will give you stability when on your knees or stepping up to get going.
New deck concave - gives your feet and toes improved leverage when initiating turns, while feeling safe and secure in a straight line when riding without straps. Axis' unique tail pad design ensures any water captured in the concave, flows freely out the back.
How to size your froth
Unique to AXIS is the large range of sizes that will ensure you can achieve the volume that's right for you. For wingers starting out, we recommend 20-40 litres more than your body weight in kilograms. Intermediate riders should drop down to roughly the same litres as their body weight (or 10-15 litres above), while advanced riders can go as small as you dare – the only limit is your athleticism and the steadiness of the wind conditions. If it's gusty, stay closer to your body weight in litres. SUP foilers will naturally gravitate to the largest sizes in the range.
Preorder to reserve your board now for £250 deposit. These 2022 boards are due in stock in March 2022. The remainder of the payment is due on delivery (see the specific model number for the price).


Hitachi today announced that an internal field test was conducted with the cooperation of approximately 600 people from 26 sales & marketing departments from June to October 2016, to measure organizational activation level (organizational happiness level) using artificial intelligence (AI) and wearable technology. Result from the field test confirmed that workstyle advice provided by AI, contributed to raising organizational activation level.
Further, a correlation was confirmed between the change in organizational activation level and purchase order achievement rate. More precisely, the order volume of departments in which the organizational activation level rose during the field test compared to those that fell, was an average of 27% higher in the following quarter (October-December).
Hitachi will use the results of this field test, to further analyze organizational activation level, and by applying this knowledge, contribute to performance prediction and work style reform in companies and other organizations.

Designed with Kare: Influential Graphics of Apple's Early Macintosh Computers
From the friendly smiling startup icon to the dreaded bomb icon (signalling a fatal system error), it was the graphics that brought early Macintosh computers to life and set them apart from text-based PCs. But few Mac users computing in the 1980s knew at the time how much of their visual experience traced back to one woman: Susan Kare.
Kare's influence both initially and over the decades that followed is hard to overestimate. Her pixel art formed the basis for digital tool icons still in use today, including the command symbol as well as the lasso and paint bucket commonly found in visual editing programs. Typefaces like Chicago and Gothic also persisted long after the original operating systems for which they were designed went away.
Later designs made for other computing companies like IBM and Microsoft, including notepad and control panel icons, have also stuck around in some form or another (with iterations along the way). In recent years, Kare has done work for Facebook and Pinterest as well.
But Kare's big break came back in 1982 when a friend invited her to apply to Apple. She arrived with a gridded notebook and began sketching out ideas around pixel-based design constraints.
Kare later recalled in interviews how she "loved the puzzle-like nature of working in sixteen-by-sixteen and thirty-two-by-thirty-two pixel icon grids, and the marriage of craft and metaphor. Bitmap graphics are like mosaics and needlepoint and other pseudo-digital art forms," she said, "all of which I had practiced before going to Apple."
Macs weren't the first computers to use a kind of virtual-reality, point-and-click desktop in place of a command-line approach. This kind of graphical user interface had been experimented with for years. But Steve jobs recognized its potential — the way it could attract non-computer geeks, artists, musicians and everyday users. And Kare's innovative work operated in parallel with his vision. Her designs were intuitive, meant to communicate ideas rather than being realistic, and were instrumental in making both useful products and sales.
Person in Lotus Position
To her, the pixel limitations were helpful frameworks. They facilitated more minimalist and thus inclusive graphics as they left room for interpretation. In many ways, Kare's work decades ago presaged a shift toward visual-based communication that is still ongoing to this day, embodied in the rise of Imgur and Pinterest as well as gifs and emojis.
Kare's designs have been featured in the MOMA and have also won her an AIGA award in addition to other acclaim. Those nostalgic for some of these classic graphics can also find prints on Susan Kare's website as well as a book she published of Susan Kare Icons.

It is crucial that asylum seekers and migrants have access to good quality legal advice at the earliest opportunity. This was becoming increasingly difficult due to cut backs in publicy funded legal services. Local access to a good, free solicitor became very limited, and many areas of immigration law receive no public funding at all. It was in response to this crisis that the Access to Justice Project was born in 2014.
We are currently open on a part time basis with two experienced advisors. We are registered with the Office of the Immigration Services Commisioner (OISC) to advise clients up to level 3 (appeal stage). The service is available to individuals who do not have access to a free advisor.
Once a potential client has contacted us for help, they will be asked to complete a short questionnaire about their circumstances. The case is then assessed and further information gathered if necessary. A decision is then made about how the client can best be helped.
Our most successful case so far was a victim of domestic violence. She was traumatised and had no real hope that her situation would improve. She was abandoned by her parents as a child and had no home country to return to safely. She was so overwhelmed when she got the news that she could stay in the UK with her children that she ran around the building, laughing one minute, crying the next. We brought hope to that family and they are now able to live a life free from fear.
We are a small project and we will never be able to take the place of the publicly funded legal services that have been lost. What we lack in size we make up for in the commitment and determination. We will be there for those who need us, on every step of their journey.
Special thanks goes to John Bingham, whose tireless efforts brought the project to life, and to Lia Deyal for volunteering as an advisor.

Watch: The U.S. Space Force "Origins" Video is Pretty Impressive
Tim McMillan· December 12, 2020
Space Force has released its new "Origins" video, and we've got to admit: America's cosmic defense force is starting to look a little more badass.


The New York Public Library recently started an Instagram series featuring questions that people posed to librarians in the days before Google. Apparently, librarians stored the more interesting queries for decades. So far, the series has featured etiquette questions ("When one has guests, who kisses whom first?" someone asked in 1946) and a health and science inquiry from 1962 ("What is the gestation period of human beings in days?"). As antiquated as this analog method seems, millions of people in jails and prisons with no Internet access still rely on librarians for answers that could be found in seconds online.
In an office building near the NYPL's central library, with big windows looking out on the famous marble lions, a team of four people answers questions from inmates through the library's Correctional Services Program. The program started decades ago and now runs lending libraries in prisons and publishes a guidebook to help people upon release. Responding to as many as 60 weekly letters isn't an official service, but it seems to be growing in popularity. "By word of mouth we get more and more every year," says librarian Sarah Ball, who supervises the program.

Q: What is the privilege for account unlock in Oracle I want to understand the privileges better, but I'm not able to find some useful info using Google.
I thought that I needed ALTER USER privilege to be able to unlock user and change password. But currently I'm on a machine, where I can change the password (also for other users), but I'm not able to unlock locked user. Why is that?
I tried also
SELECT * FROM USER_SYS_PRIVS ;

ant the result is:
TEST_USER   CREATE OPERATOR NO  NO
TEST_USER   ALTER SESSION   NO  NO
TEST_USER   CREATE SESSION  NO  NO
TEST_USER   CREATE DATABASE LINK    NO  NO
TEST_USER   CREATE SYNONYM  NO  NO
TEST_USER   CREATE INDEXTYPE    NO  NO
TEST_USER   CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW    NO  NO
TEST_USER   CREATE TRIGGER  NO  NO
TEST_USER   GLOBAL QUERY REWRITE    NO  NO
TEST_USER   CREATE SEQUENCE NO  NO
TEST_USER   CREATE CLUSTER  NO  NO
TEST_USER   CREATE TYPE NO  NO
TEST_USER   CREATE PROCEDURE    NO  NO
TEST_USER   CREATE VIEW NO  NO
TEST_USER   CREATE TABLE    NO  NO

Error, when tried unlock:
alter user other_user account unlock
Error report -
SQL Error: ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
01031. 00000 -  "insufficient privileges"
*Cause:    An attempt was made to perform a database operation without
           the necessary privileges.
*Action:   Ask your database administrator or designated security
           administrator to grant you the necessary privileges

A: you have not shown the roles TEST_USER is granted.  Likely they have been granted the DBA role which allows ALTER USER.
see the documentation for details.  This query will show the roles a user has
SELECT * FROM DBA_ROLE_PRIVS where grantee = 'TEST_USER'

of course this requires privileges too, unless you have the CATALOG role, if you select from this table you can alter a user

A: ALTER USER should be enough, see below.
SQL> select banner from v$version where rownum = 1;

Achievement at Key Stage 4 of Young People in Care
Felicity Fletcher-Campbell, Tamsin Archer
Research report available to download from DFE
A variety of reports from government agencies, voluntary agencies, researchers and the young people themselves have established that the education of young people in the public care is a cause for concern. There is a remarkable degree of consensus as to not only the difficulties but also the solutions. Following a range of developmental work on policy and systems, attention has now focused on the outcomes of statutory schooling for these young people - in particular, their attainment at key stage 4. Data show that the average performance of young people in care is significantly lower than national averages for the age cohort and that a disproportionate number of young people are not entered for GCSE or GNVQ at key stage 4 (47 per cent of total care leavers, compared with 3.6 per cent of boys and 3.1 per cent of girls nationally).
In order to explore in greater depth the end of key stage 4 performance of the cohort of pupils who were in the public care in summer 2001, the Department of Health and the Department of Education and Skills, together with the Local Government Association, jointly sponsored the NFER to undertake a research project.
Despite working with authorities with relatively advanced data collection methodologies and a good track record in their commitment to the education of young people in care, data sets for the cohort under study were frail, partial and different sources sometimes gave conflicting information.
There was evidence that not all placements were appropriate for the young people and, moreover, that some key stage 4 placements either denied the young people the opportunity of more than a few GCSEs or did not offer any GCSE entry. Unmet or misunderstood special educational needs could result in the breakdown of care placements.
Young people with the highest number of changes of education placement at key stages 3 and 4 were most likely to be in the quarter of the sample not to be entered for any GCSE, data about the GCSE entry for a further third of the sample were missing. School factors leading to positive outcomes for young people in care at key stage 4 included stable tutoring, mechanisms for the identification of individuals needs and progress, and a rich range of formal and informal support - all routinely available and readily accessible to the young person.
Stability of care placement was associated with higher performance at key stage 4. There was evidence that concerns about post-16 living arrangements could distract young people from study in year 11.
It was not clear that there was sufficient early intervention to help young people rechannel their energies and develop attitudes and behaviour more conducive to positive educational outcomes at key stage 4.
Both motivated and disaffected young people were perspicacious about the strengths and weaknesses of their educational placements; this suggests that the young people themselves are a significant resource as regards enhancing their own educational careers.

Against Fascism and War
by George Dimitrov
International Publishers NY, 1986
Paperback – 125 pages
Against Fascism and War, contains the famous report to the 7th World Congress of the Communist International, 1935 by George Dimitrov and a 1936 speech on The People's Front. There is a foreword by James West from the Communist Party USA giving a historical background to the great Bulgarian Communist leader who was elected as General Secretary of the International.
He concluded his speech on The People's Front with the words: "In the struggle against fascism and war, not empty words, not platonic wishes, but action is needed. To achieve this action it is necessary to bring about the unification of all forces of the working class and to carry out unswervingly the policy of the People's Front."
His call for anti-fascist unity has particular relevance today with the rise of neo-Nazis and other extreme right-wing forces and economic crises facing capitalist states.
Basics for Peace, Democracy & Social Progress
by Gus Hall
International Publishers, New York, 1980
Problems need not only clarifying analysis but also workable solutions, and the writings in this book by Gus Hall, General Secretary of the communist Party, USA, meet both criteria. The reader will meet a brilliant working-class intellect combining with a vast store of militant experience.
Can Capitalism Last? A Marxist Update
by Daniel Rubin
International Publishers, NY, 2010
The book seeks to show why the influence of Marxism and socialism is growing and what value they have for the working people and the struggle for a better life. It brings together the major subjects of Marxism while dealing with contemporary developments such as the Soviet Union, Cuba and China. While making specific applications to the situation in the US, it is still very relevant to readers in Australia.
The chapters cover the social ills of our time; political economy of capitalism; historical materialism; socialism and communism; getting there from here; Marxist methodology; and organisations necessary for winning progress and socialism.
There is a very handy 13-page glossary explaining many of the terms used in the book. These range from the classic like surplus value, idealism, sectarianism through to the more recent financialisation and globalisation.
Elitist Revolution or Revolution of the Masses?
by Mikhail Gavlin & Liliya Kazakova
Progress Publishers, Moscow, 1980
The book analyses current American and British theories of social revolution. It subjects to criticism the treatment by bourgeois authors of the essence and nature of social revolution and their significance in the process of society. The authors reveal the class bias of bourgeois theories, their continuity and connection with old conceptions and the general task of bourgeois social revolutions.
For a Better World: Excerpts from the classics
by Marx, Engels, Lenin
Edited by D Rubin
Published by the Chelsea Fund for Edcucation, 2004
A handy reference on the views of Marx, Engels, or Lenin in various fields.
Use for couses, study groups, or self-study guide on Marxism.
From start to finish, read great political, economic, historical, and philosophic wisdom, containing myriad insights useful to any reader.
"The path to a democratic, humane, efficient socialism must begin with the strategic effort to build a broad labor-led people's coalition to politically curb and defeat the ultra-right. ... So much has changed, and yet these concepts, we could only begin to excerpt, are as vital today as ever when applied as a guide to action in the particular circumstances of the struggle in the USA for progress and socialism."
Danny Rubin, 2004
Marxist Ethics – A Short Exposition
by Willis H Truitt
Published by the International Publishers, New York, 2005
There is a widespread misconception that Marxism is limited to material facts, mostly economic in nature, and does not and cannot delve into the realm of values and value judgements. Yet, as the author points out, it is well known that Marx condemned the injustices of capitalism in moral language. The book identifies the kinds of ethical concerns that were deemed important by the young Marx; the question of determinism in Marx's writings; justice and workers' interests; integration of needs and rights of the individual with that of whole society; the intersection of the arts and morality; and much more.
Reader in Marxist Philosophy – from the writings of Marx, Engels and Lenin
edited by H Selsam & H Martel
A selection of writings from Marx, Engels and Lenin selected and edited with introductions and notes by Howard Selsam and Harry Martel. The book is devoted to selections from philosophical writings.
It covers materialism versus idealism; dialectics and the dialectical method; theory of knowledge and philosophy of science; the materialist interpretation of history; religion; and ethics. It draws on many well known writings of Marx, Engels and Lenin, is well referenced and has a bibliographical index with useful notes to anyone who is not well versed in the classics.

The Global Economic Crisis – The Great Depression of the XXI Century
edited by M Chossudovsky & AG Marshall Global Research Publishers, Canada, 2010
This compilation of articles by 16 researchers, analyists, authors and others on the left gives a comprehensive analysis on the economic crisis. The book is divided into five parts: The Global Economic Crisis; Global Poverty; War, National Security and World Government; The Global Monetary System; and The Shadow Banking System.
The book is rich with detailed information that digs beneath the surface and exposes the lies and distortions of media, politicians and bourgeois economists. The language is very accessible, technical terms are explained clearly. Links are made between the economic, political, military and social developments. It exposes the myth of economic recovery, who was behind the crisis, who benefits and the horrendous impact it has had on millions of people around the world.
The chapters by Michel Chossudovsky provide an over view of the global economic crisis; global poverty and the economic crisis; and war and the economic crisis. Marshall looks at the political economy of world government; central banking and management of the global political economy; and the financial new world order – towards a global currency. Other authors include Mike Whitney, Ellen Brown, Tom Burghardt, James Petras and Bill Van Auken.
It is a must read for political activists, trade unionists, peace activists and anyone else wishing to learn more about the global economic crisis and 21st century imperialism.
