TapCommerce Founders Brian Long & Andrew Jones announce Attentive's $13M Series A.
We're super excited to announce that our portfolio company Attentive is coming out of stealth today and has closed a $13M Series A led by our friends at Bain Capital Ventures. This is especially exciting for us because this is the first time we've backed a founding team for the second time. In 2013, Eniac Ventures led a seed round for TapCommerce, a mobile retargeting startup, that was founded by Brian Long and Andrew Jones. They built an amazing team that we thoroughly enjoyed working with, and it wasn't long before TapCommerce was the clear leader in mobile retargeting. Then after less than two years, the company was acquired by Twitter for $100M — all their blood, sweat and tears led to a nice outcome.
Why we led a $3MM round with the most promising Esportspreneur.
Eniac is getting in the game with Esports One! We are excited to announce we've co-led their $3MM seed round with XSeed Capital. Esports One, the brainchild of "Esportsprenuer" Matt Gunnin, has coupled their proprietary computer vision technology with machine learning and custom datasets, creating real-time modules that are reshaping the way fans can watch and engage with esports. The financing will support the team ramp up operations and continue hiring.
Net Neutrality is important to Eniac, its Founders and the Startup Community Help us take action!
We need your help in saving Net Neutrality. It is the internet's guiding principle: It preserves the people's right to communicate freely online. Net Neutrality means an internet that enables and protects free speech, that Internet Service Providers shouldn't block any applications that use those networks.
In many years in the industry helping our founders grow their own businesses and find success, we've continued to look for ways to be more strategic, improve processes, streamline efforts and help our portfolio get the support they needed outside traditional term sheets and cap tables.
We care about the people we invest in and with our latest fund, we've launched the Eniac Platform. It was born because we want our founders to focus on making their product the best in the world, and to make that happen, we are offering to provide hands-on support ranging from recruiting, operational resources, business development, exclusive networking, marketing and PR and fundraising advisory — rare resources for a seed-stage firm. But coming from our diverse backgrounds of starting and scaling companies each ourselves, we know what it is like to be stretched dangerously thin and scrambling for reliable resources. We want to offer our founders the best possible experience, we want them to succeed.
Eniac is excited to lead Pienso's seed round with our friends at SoftTech. Founded by seasoned MIT graduates, Birago Jones and Karthik Dinakar, Pienso is making machine learning accessible to enterprise domain experts who don't have the requisite data science experience. As corporations heavily invest in big data lake initiatives to glean insights into their business, domain experts find it challenging to communicate their requirements to data scientists, often times those requirements get lost in translation.
Enter Pienso, a startup that has built a proprietary method called Lensing which uses machine learning to cluster data through an intuitive UI that domain experts (researchers at pharma companies, analysts at energy corporations, intelligence analysts etc.) can access directly to make sense of the copious data across the enterprise.
Money is universal. But how we use it says a lot about us. According to Facebook IQ Insights, 49% of millennials prefer mobile banking. Nobody has time for disjointed checking and savings accounts, separate credit cards with high APR's and confusing (and sometimes costly) rewards programs. Our experiences are now instant, easy and, most importantly, connected, and so should our money.
Enter Zero, the company that aims to replace traditional consumer credit, debit and checking ecosystem. Today, the company announced the close of their $8.5M seed round, which supports the San Francisco-based company to continue to scale as quickly as their 150,000+ waiting list.
Today, we're excited to announce our investment in Alloy, an API for identity. And let's face it, the API is the new APP. We've been witness to other API-centric companies like Cloudflare, Factual, Foursquare, mParticle, Sendgrid, Shopify, Stripe, Twilio, and many more, all scaling faster than any company has done have before, leveraging what the API is good for- lightweight, frictionless, self-serve and powerful- to millions of customers.
One of the things Alloy solves what many of us have experienced: applying for a credit card and getting a rejection letter in the mail three weeks later. Alloy's API enables financial institutions like credit cards the ability to generate real-time decisions so that banks can provide approvals in seconds, increasing customer satisfaction and reducing churn and brand degradation. And that's just one of the company's first use cases and initial customer verticals through their robust API.
Today, we are excited to announce that Eniac Ventures has led a $3.6 million seed stage fund for Visual Vocal, a leading AR/VR productivity platform for team collaboration. The fund aims to scale the company by driving continued product innovation, growing the enterprise customer base and attracting top talent.
The continued advancements in AR and VR are rapidly changing the way we approach the world. We believe that AR will revolutionize how we interface with computing resources. As demonstrated by the buzz of this week's Oculus Connect in San Jose, there is mounting excitement and a bright future for the crops of new companies paving the way for immersive games and sports experiences. The Eniac Team also believes that VR, AR, and AI technologies will push the boundaries on how businesses operate, collaborate and go to market in the next five to 10 years. We look to work with founders and companies, such as Visual Vocal, that are leading this charge.
Today we are incredibly excited to announce the Eniac-led $2.5M seed round and launch of Embrace.io, the first platform to provide performance feedback for mobile. At Eniac we all cut our teeth as developers and operators and spent many hours praying for a solution like Embrace. Other sectors had tools like New Relic and AppDynamics but in the mobile world once you publish your app you are blind to everything but crashes. This has been a major thorn in the side for the mobile ecosystem, so why are we all in on Embrace?
Today we're excited to announce our investment in Anchor, which launched today. Anchor is a social audio platform that lets users effortlessly create "waves", short bits of audio content. Users can also listen to waves by creator, hashtag or category and reply to create an interactive conversation.
It looks like we weren't alone in loving the concept of Anchor. Apple is featuring it as the #1 Best New App and Anchor spent a whole day as the #1 overall product on Product Hunt! You can't ask for a better launch!!!


Most of us, when we look at an insurance policy, ask, "What is covered?" That's a good question. Another good question is, "What is excluded from coverage?" Sometimes by studying the "Exclusion" section you will quickly determine that the policy will not work for you.
I have listed a few of the 34 items on one company's "Exclusion" list that say a lot about the policy: Pre-existing conditions; dental examinations; expenses of normal pregnancy; care of a new born child; treatment of acne; treatment for mental, nervous or emotional conditions or sickness; and treatment of Substance Abuse.
Often the "Exclusion" list is printed in such a way (small print, no paragraphs, etc.) that it is not easily read. Yet it is important that you check it out. Remember the old insurance adage: "The large print giveth and the small print taketh away." The originator of the adage must have been thinking about the "Exclusion" list.


Gunsmiths may work in factories, commercial sporting goods stores, armories or private gunsmithing establishments. Some gunsmiths are general practitioners of the trade, but many specialize in certain skills. Different specializations may require different areas of expertise.
A gunsmith who specializes as a custom builder/designer creates customized guns according to specific customer requirements.
A specialist called a finisher uses chemistry to modify the metal surfaces of a gun. Using processes like bluing, the gunsmith coats these metal surfaces to protect them from rust, corrosion and other damage. Finishing can also provide aesthetic value, as is the case with the technique called cyanide case hardening, in which heat is applied to the chemical finisher to create color on the steel.
Stockmakers create the gunstock, the part of the firearm that, in rifles, is held against the user's shoulder. A stockmaker will traditionally use tools like saws and chisels to carve the gunstock out of wood, preferably walnut, and finish the stock using any of a variety of techniques from sanding to lacquering. Stockmakers also have a part in building the gun, by attaching the wooden gunstock to the firearm's metalwork pieces.
Checkerers use saw-toothed tools to imprint the texture of many small, evenly-spaced diamond shapes on wooden gun surfaces designed to be gripped. A checkerer may also provide aesthetic appeal to a firearm by adding decorative designs to the edges of checkered wood gun parts.
Gun engravers primarily add aesthetic value to firearms by cutting designs, patterns or other images into the gun and, in some cases, inlaying the designs with decorative metal. These gunsmiths use a variety of tools to do so, including chisels, hand-powered tools called hand gravers and more sophisticated engraving system power-tools, like GRS Tools' Gravermeister.
Pistolsmiths are gunsmiths who specialize in pistols and sometimes other handguns. Customization is a large part of the pistolsmith's job, and these specialists often have related skills and specialties such as checkering and finishing. They may also be skilled woodworkers, metalworkers and machinists and should be knowledgeable about the mechanics of specific types of firearms.
Niche manufacturers create and sell specific gun components to other gunsmiths, who use them in the assembly of custom firearms, and to other gun builders. These manufacturers can produce a variety of gun parts, including essential parts like barrels, receivers and trigger assemblies.


What: Providing feedback is one of the most effective ways to improve performance. Yet, as leaders, we may shy away from addressing issues that could make a significant difference in an individual's ability to perform in the classroom, a committee meeting, or a coaching session. Why? Frequently, it is simply because we lack the skill set required for holding critical conversations. This session provides specific skills for leaders to access as they work with colleagues to promote an environment for continuous improvement.

right here in Santa Fe.
A global day of giving with impact right here in Santa Fe.
Salvation Army Programs are led by Salvation Army Officers. These officers are responsible to lead by assessing needs, delivering programs and directing ministries for our local community. From serving food to balancing the books, they function as the Executive Directors and the Pastors for the Santa Fe Corps.


When I opened the email my first reaction was to jump out my chair, run out of the office (I was at work when I received the news) and pace back and forth calling Mom, Dad, friends, family, etc. Later in the day the initial shock wore off and the reality set in. You have a "Why me?" moment where you realize that something so abstract and supposedly far fetched becomes a reality. Then you get over that moment and begin to look forward to your preparations ahead. It is a lot of emotions for one day!
2. Orientation: I think the best preparation I have had so far is the Western Hemisphere orientation. I spent an entire weekend in a hotel in D.C. with other students who were in the same boat as me. It was also amazing to hear how diverse people's projects are! The projects range anywhere from studying an endangered sloth population in Panama to discovering locals' reactions to foreign medical aid in Honduras. I also had the opportunity to speak to a young woman who had also done her Fulbright in Nicaragua. Hearing from someone who had gone through the experience was comforting as you learn that they had the same doubts and fears before the experience and eventually made the most of it.
I also had the opportunity to meet other Fulbrighters coming to Nicaragua. There are two other people doing the student program and two professors doing the scholar program…and not a single one of them will be in Managua. This is both comforting and nerve wracking. Comforting in the sense that I can go about my research and fully immerse myself in the culture but also nerve wracking because I will have to navigate through a new city on a more independent level. Still, if there's anything I've learned from being abroad before it's being alone and feeling lonely are two completely different sensations.
3. Reading: I scour blogs of former Fulbrighters (nickname for Fulbright grantees) in Nicaragua. I signed up for something called Nicaragua Dispatch which sends me the top headlines of the day in Nicaragua. I also been keeping a record of publications relevant to my research.
4. Talking: A big part of preparing for Fulbright is to be able to talk about your research in two phrases or less, so you don't lose your audience. I spent this past summer in Washington D.C. for an internship, so I had many opportunities to practice my Fulbright "elevator speech" at various networking events. I was also surprised to meet a lot of people who have connections to Nicaragua, a country of barely 5 million people. For example, I was at my visiting my brother's university and met two people who had lived in Nicaragua at one point. One of them was able to give me handy safety and travel advice while the other had a friend who lives there and has agreed to show me around when I arrive.
As important as it is to prepare oneself for living abroad a key aspect of preparation is actually to expect the unexpected, as cliche as that sounds. I have to strike a delicate balance between coming in with as much prior knowledge as possible while also understanding that not everything is as I imagined. You can read dozens of articles on a subject or current situation, but it will never be the same as seeing it firsthand. For this reason I hope that diplomacy continues to exist. I don't doubt that technology and social media have changed how quickly we can assess what is going on in the world. Take the Arab Spring for example. Social media was crucial in disseminating information during these events. However, I cannot confine my understanding of another culture to 140 characters or a 2 minute news story. Understanding another culture requires one's full attention. I plan to be constantly engaged in the sights, sounds, tastes, smells, and overall feeling of the host country. As a "cultural ambassador" I hope to embrace the idea of diplomacy as a multi-sensory experience.
Nicaragua, I look forward to meeting you.¡Nos vemos el 21!

Ancient Egypt Art Storage
Ancient Egyptian artworks were typically stored in the tombs of the Pharaohs, who were kings, emperors, or gods. The titles were passed down through families, and each male would have a wife and son who would inherit the title. There were also female Pharaohs, including Hatshepsut and Sobekneferu. But what makes them so special?
Ancient Egyptians interpreted their world
Despite its rich cultural heritage, Egyptian art has often been accused of being crude and unrefined. Critics point to the lack of depth, perspective, and the interplay of light and shadow. The Egyptians viewed the world as two-dimensional, and believed that in the afterlife, people's spirits needed representations to communicate with their ancestors. They used mummification as a means of providing such a 'beacon' for the spirits of their dead.
By the Middle Kingdom, the Ancient Egyptians had surveyed the entire country and made art to represent it. This included religious texts, treatises on mathematics, astronomy, medicine, magic, and the earliest metal statues. The earliest metal statue was a 4,000-year-old cast of Pharaoh Pepi I. The Queen Mother of Tiye, made of yew wood during the reign of Akenaten, features a pout and slanted eyes.
Memphite tombs
The first step in the process of preserving artwork is to understand how Memphite tombs work. This ancient Egyptian city is full of necropolis tombs, where the pharaohs were buried. During the Fifth Dynasty, the memphite tombs became adapted to this new cult, and King Weserkaf shifted the mortuary temple to the south side of Saqqara pyramid, and his successors returned to the traditional axial arrangement.
The Memphite tombs, which are located on the plateau of the Western Desert across from the capital of Memphis, are of a type adapted from Buto burial practices. The mud-brick superstructures have multi-layered exteriors and demonstrate the layout of a Lower Egyptian palace with articulated enclosure walls. It is a must-see for the art historian. The sarcophagus contains the remains of a pharaoh, and a king, like any other pharaoh, would have had an elaborate tomb of his own.
Predynastic period
The Predynastic period spanned the 6th millennium bce to approximately 1100 bce, and was the era of Egypt's emergence as a major civilization. Although some objects were purely sculptural in their origin, Egyptian culture was firmly rooted in these earliest periods. Using the archaeological evidence from Egypt, Sir Flinders Petrie was able to construct a sequence of these predynastic civilizations, with the earliest of these culture occurring at Al-Badari in Upper Egypt.
While early scholars had limited access to this material, recent research has provided evidence of an extensive artifact storage system that was crucial to the development of Egyptian culture. Artifacts were stored and displayed in a variety of ways, and this storage allowed archaeologists to reconstruct the culture's history and social development. Several excavations at Upper Egypt's Necropolis, known as Hierakonpolis, have revealed the enormous quantity of artifacts and materials.
Before the emergence of centralized administration in the Early Dynastic period, Egypt was settled with autonomous villages. As new techniques for agriculture emerged, the villagers began to concentrate on other areas. Popular cities developed on the trade routes. As a result, administrative needs were also developed to protect the people living in urban settings. During this time, art storage became a necessity. Using the proper storage containers was vital to preserve ancient Egyptian art.
The Early Dynastic period is considered the foundation of Egyptian culture. This period included the First and Second Dynasties, as well as the Protodynastic Period. These dynasties ruled over much of Upper and Lower Egypt, and they established a standard art style that would persist throughout the history of the country. Art storage for Egyptian treasures can be difficult and expensive, but if you are dedicated to keeping your Ancient Egyptian art safe and well preserved, there are a few simple steps you can take.
Middle Kingdom
Middle Kingdom art is an excellent choice for preserving treasured Egyptian artworks. The Middle Kingdom was a time of great social and political development in ancient Egypt. The 11th and 12th dynasties were ruled by Amenemhat I, whose family maintained an enduring country and interacted with neighboring lands. This period was characterized by many changes and innovations, which were only possible because of the stability of earlier dynasties.
Artworks from the Middle Kingdom are a fascinating part of history. This period was marked by the emergence of portrait and relief sculpture, with individual details inscribed on the pieces. The Middle Kingdom's pharaohs achieved great success in these areas and the art of the time was among the best in the world. While these dynasties were short lived, their achievements continue to influence Egyptian art today. And while the culture may have remained the same for hundreds of years, many pieces of Middle Kingdom art have undergone significant changes.
In the Valley of the Kings in Egypt, excavations sponsored by Theodore M. Davis unearthed several jars containing artifacts inscribed with the name of Tutankhamun. In 1909, he donated several of the jars to the Metropolitan Museum. The jars are now on display in Gallery 122. The artworks are viewed from right to left. Originally, the walls were carved in a single direction, but tourists are damaging them rapidly.
During the excavation of the tomb, Howard Carter discovered a life-sized statue of Tutankhamun and two sentries guarding the burial chamber. The Ancient Egyptians believed that preserving a deceased body would preserve the soul, which is why the internal organs of the body were placed in canopic vessels. These were often jars, but occasionally they were also miniature golden coffins. King Tut's liver, for example, was placed inside one of these jars.

This brand new microwave sitting in the box, mocking me, is my regret.
I had to buy appliances for my new home and figured putting up an over-the-range microwave wouldn't be a big deal. I won't go into the tale of woe here, but let's just say it was going to require more than it would end up being worth. So regretfully, I'm stuck with a never taken out of-the-box, stainless steel microwave. Trying to sell it has been a headache.
Oh, what a bummer. I hate appliance regrets! Hope it turns out okay in the end.


With London Met the following week the regatta was used to test out potential combinations before heading to Dorney Lake.
The club's first event of the day was Mens Division 2 8+. This included Mens Club 2 8+ where a new UCD combination raced neck and neck down the course with Neptune, whose time together in the boat showed as they just pipped College for the win by 0.25 seconds. Also in this event was the Mens Novice 8+ with UCD's crew producing an excellent performance to win their category by 3 lengths over Trinity A.
Mens Division 1 4+ was next where UCD's Mens Senior 4+ was the only entry in their category so they lined up alongside the other grades. They won their heat and were clear winners in the final, 8 seconds clear of Commercial's Intermediate 4+.
Mens Division 1 4- was a straight Mens Senior 4- final with two Commercial crews and one each from Trinity and UCD. Commercial's boats were faster off the start and extended their lead throughout the race with a battle developing between the university crews for 3rd. UCD took the advantage in the middle of the course with Trinity pulling ahead entering the last 500m before UCD pulled ahead again towards the end to finish 3rd, 12 seconds behind the winners.
Mens Division 1 8+ saw two matched UCD crews compete at Mens Senior 8+ and Mens Intermediate 8+ with both progressing through their heats to the A final. All crews were battling the conditions in this last race of the day with Commercial's Seniors winning by 3 lengths over UCD's Senior entry with another 1 1/2 lengths to UCD's Intermediate entry. Commercial's Intermediates were 3/4 lengths back again with Trinity's Seniors in a similar position before a crab near the end took them out of the race.

Adding offensive flash to his defensive prowess, Marcus Garrett led Kansas over Texas
By CJ Moore Jan 15, 2019 5
LAWRENCE, Kan. — It took one seven-second stretch for Marcus Garrett to show his genius on Monday night at Allen Fieldhouse.
Garrett, a 6-foot-5 sophomore, is one of the best defensive players ever to play for Kansas coach Bill Self. He's the perfect modern-day defender — long, quick and able to guard multiple positions. But it's not just the physical tools, it's also his defensive mind and the ability to process information on the fly, particularly during tense moments.
And it was getting tense inside the building with just under two minutes left and Kansas clinging to a two-point lead when Texas senior forward Dylan Osetkowski got the ball in the mid-post.
Four minutes into the game, Osetkowski had backed Dedric Lawson down for a bucket. With Lawson checking him again and isolated on the left side of the floor, Osetkowski figured the Jayhawk was meat.
But standing across the lane, Garrett could sense his opponent's intentions. So he...

The problem with reopening the US consulate in Jerusalem
Facts & Logic About the Middle East (FLAME)
James Sinkinson
Washington should reject the possibility of reopening the "Palestinian embassy" without both the agreement of Israel and a demonstration of the Palestinians' commitment to peace.
(September 14, 2021 / FLAME) After a recent 20-nation ministerial meeting on the Afghan crisis, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken warned that if the Taliban want relations with the United States, it "will have to be earned." Blinken should apply that policy equally to the Palestinian Authority, which has not relaxed its obstinacy and disregard for U.S. interests for at least 20 years.
Nonetheless, the Biden administration seems determined to reopen the American consulate in Jerusalem, which served as a de facto embassy to the Palestinian Arabs since the mid-1990s, with no preconditions.
Perhaps more importantly, it's unheard of—and insulting—for the United States to place an unwanted embassy or consulate for a foreign entity in the sovereign capital of another state. No surprise that Israel's leaders have so far strenuously resisted this move—and no wonder a large number of legislators in Israel's current (and fragile) government outright reject the U.S. consulate plan.
In March 2019, the Trump administration wisely closed the consulate and folded its operations into the new U.S. Embassy to the State of Israel in Jerusalem, which was moved from Tel Aviv in May 2018. This step, bold as it seemed, merely implemented the Jerusalem Embassy Act—passed by Congress in 1995—which declared that "Jerusalem should be recognized as the capital of the State of Israel."
The Embassy Act also stated that the American embassy should move to Jerusalem within five years. Unfortunately, every president until 2018—despite promising to move the embassy—signed a countless string of six-month postponements. Since an announcement in December 2017 by then-President Donald Trump, the United States has officially recognized Jerusalem as the official capital of the State of Israel. It has since been joined by other nations, such as the Czech Republic, Serbia, Honduras and Guatemala.
Under the Oslo Accords—signed by Israel, the Palestinian Liberation Organization, the United States and Russia—Jerusalem is within the borders of the State of Israel and outside the Palestinian self-rule area. Under the Accords, the status of Jerusalem is to be determined only within the framework of future negotiations on a permanent peace. Until then Jerusalem is to remain outside the realm of the Palestinian government, and the P.A. is prohibited from maintaining its institutions there.
The reason for these specifications was—according to Dr. Shmuel Berkowitz, a renowned expert on Jerusalem—to "prevent political or governmental activity in the territory of the State of Israel, without the consent of the Government of Israel, which is incompatible with respect for the sovereignty of the State of Israel by the Palestinian Authority or the PLO."
Since the United States fully recognizes Israel's sovereignty in all of Jerusalem and was a party to agreements that prevent any Palestinian activity in Jerusalem, it's a betrayal for the Americans to reopen an official institution in the city meant to serve Palestinian interests. It would also be an abrogation of the U.S. commitment to Israel's absolute sovereignty in its capital city. Even a de facto consulate to the Palestinians contradicts firm U.S. commitments to Israel.
Moreover, as Blinken has made clear, diplomatic gains must be earned. If the Palestinians want something from the United States, they should have to take definitive actions in exchange. The P.A., however, continues to work against American interests, both locally—in its anti-democratic and anti-Israel policies—and regionally, for example via its flirtations with Iran and rejection of Arab peace initiatives.
On a local level, the P.A. has over the years devolved into yet another brutal Middle East dictatorship. P.A. leader Mahmoud Abbas is now more than 16 years into his five-year term as P.A. president. His penchant for canceling elections has become notorious.
Recently, Abbas's regime has increased its brutality. Critics are routinely threatened, arrested, imprisoned without trial and—in the case of one prominent political activist, Nizar Banat—murdered by P.A. police. The security forces beat Banat and dragged him from a house in Hebron. He was pronounced dead 20 minutes later at a hospital. Peaceful protests, demonstrations and strikes are brutally dispersed by P.A. thugs.
As for hate against Israel, the P.A. continues to reject peace negotiations and—in official state channels—to promote murder, fund terrorism and praise bloodshed against the Jewish state.
Israel-based education watchdog IMPACT-se has publicized inciteful material in Palestinian textbooks, such as a reading exercise glorifying the firebombing of a bus full of Jewish civilians. An Arabic language lesson describes suicide bombings in which Palestinians "wore explosive belts, thus turning their bodies into fire, burning the Zionist tank."
In addition, the P.A. continues to pay funds to terrorists and their families in the "Pay for Slay" programs, and Palestinian media regularly honor mass-murdering terrorists.
Regionally, the P.A. is being left behind as more and more Arab states seek relations with the Jewish state. Palestinian leaders tried to prevent the signing of the American-backed Abraham Accords normalization agreements, calling them a "stab in the back" of the Palestinian people. The P.A. has threatened Arab states that seek a more peaceful, prosperous region—preferring that violence and bloodshed continue—thus acting consistently against American efforts to achieve regional stability.
In the face of the P.A. hostility to Israel and U.S. interests, why is the United States acting against its strong ally, Israel—as well as its commitments and signed agreements? Why is it attempting to appease a Palestinian leadership that is moving further from peace, that continues to terrorize Israel and its own people and act against regional stability? It makes no sense legally, politically or diplomatically.
Bottom line: The United States should reject the possibility of reopening its consulate without both the agreement of Israel and definitive actions by the Palestinians demonstrating their commitment to peace. Regardless of Biden's lip service to Jerusalem as Israel's capital, any U.S. effort to open a consulate serving the interests of a foreign—and openly hostile—entity would be a slap in the face to that very recognition.
If despite all the contraindications the United States wants to open a diplomatic conduit with the Palestinians, it should establish one in the Palestinian capital city of Ramallah.

Adidas, Apple, BMW, Coca-Cola, Toyota… We see these famous brands everywhere but never consider what their logos exactly mean. Curious to know the secret? Watch the 16 famous logos with a hidden meaning you've never noticed.
The letter 'Н' symbolizes two people – a client and a representative of the company – shaking hands.
The orange arrow is similar to a smile because the company wants its customers to be satisfied. The arrow is also stretched between the letters 'A' and 'Z', in a hint that the company sells absolutely every product you can imagine.
If you look carefully at the white space between the letter 'F' and the red stripes, you can see the number 1.
On Pinterest, people collect images they like from across the Internet and 'pin' them to their online boards. That's why the image of a pin is hidden in the letter P.
In the space between the letters 'O' and 'L', you can see the Danish flag. It's purely a coincidence. Nevertheless, Coca-Cola has used this as part of its marketing campaigns in the Scandinavian country.

The mystery of Giza has finally been solved: archaeologists uncovered who made the Great Pyramid and how they managed to build one of the Seven Wonders of the ancient world.
The Great Pyramid of Giza, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, is visited by millions of tourists every year. If you have been to Egypt, you probably also have a fun picture of you pointing at the top of the Pyramids or "holding" the Sphinx in your hand. You only have to travel 15 miles from the center of modern Cairo to find yourself thousands of years back in time… in your imagination, even though the pyramids help a lot to make it seem real.
Many scientists, archeologists, and history fans would give anything to travel in time to answer one question. It has been the topic of debate and research for centuries.
How was the Great Pyramid built? Were aliens involved in the process? Good news is, you don't have to wait for time travel to be invented to find out the answer.
The secret of the Great Pyramid is no longer a mystery to you. You see, it took no aliens, but hard work, limestone, and wooden boats to create one of the wonders of the ancient world.

Did They Find an Alive Megalodon In the Mariana Trench?
Сould Megalodon sharks still be alive in the deepest parts of the ocean? Science tells us that Megalodon sharks are extinct. Given that it was a massive shark with noticeable feeding habits, we guess that if Megalodon sharks were still roaming the oceans, they would probably have been spotted by someone by now. But perhaps not if they lived in the deepest place on Earth: the Mariana Trench.
– The Megalodon shark roamed the oceans as early as 23 million years ago, and we have their fossils to prove their existence. When people first encountered Megalodon teeth, they believed them to be rocks that had made their way to Earth from the moon.
– Megalodon was the biggest shark to terrorize the ocean, and it is thought to have gone extinct 2.6 million years ago. The name Megalodon means "big tooth." Most of the recovered Megalodon fossil teeth have been 4" to 5". But there are a few enormous teeth that are over 7".
– The Mariana Trench is 6.83 miles deep and measures more than 1,500 miles long and 43 miles wide. To put the depth into perspective, if you were to put Mount Everest into the Mariana Trench, the top would still be sticking out. To put the length into perspective, in 1,500 miles you could fit all the states between Florida and Massachusetts. 1,500 miles is also the distance between Madrid, in Spain, and Copenhagen, in Denmark.
– To survive in the Mariana Trench, Megalodon would have had to adapt to the living conditions and evolve. It would also have to switch its diet from whales, dolphins, sea lions, and sea cows to whatever organisms reside in the Mariana Trench and hope that it could find and eat its usual 2,500 lb of food per day.
– According to the United Nations, there are 7.6 billion people in the world today, and only 3 of them have made it to the deepest point on Earth. The reality is that with so little research, it is impossible to know what lies in the depths of the Mariana Trench.

The Best MOBA Games for Android to keep you engrossed
By Danica Simic
These are the best mobile MOBAs and Arena Battle games for Android!
The evolving and strategic nature of MOBA games means they can be totally absorbing. Although they originated as PC games, Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA) games where two teams play against each other have now gained a big following with Android players.

This game is powered by the E.V.I.L engine and was designed especially for mobile, with 60fps battles and touch controls offering sub-30ms control responsiveness.

It has easy to master controls, 5v5 battles, and ten-minute match lengths, and the number of people playing online means you'll never have to wait long to start a match.
Something many gamers will appreciate is that you can rejoin the same battle if you've been dropped from the game, and features include 4 jungle areas, 2 Wild Bosses, and 18 defense towers. The app description boasts the tag line "Play to Win, not Pay to Win", pointing out that only skill and ability will decide the winners and losers.

Joy and Anxiety as Moroccans Look to World Cup Match With France
KSAR EL KEBIR, Morocco — Ahead of the World Cup semifinal between Morocco and France on Wednesday, the flip side of Moroccans' euphoria at having made it this far in the tournament was excruciating stress.
In Casablanca, a young woman said she kept dreaming that Morocco had lost, waking up in a clammy sweat night after night, while her friend has been devouring so much soccer content on social media each night before bed that she saw one of the players smiling triumphantly in her sleep. And in the town of Ksar el Kebir, amid the strawberry fields and low green hills of northern Morocco, people were begging God for their hometown hero, the star defender Achraf Hakimi, to give them a reason to once again lose their minds with joy.
"We hope we win, but it's in the hands of God," said Houda el-Asri, 36, who was taking the trash out on Tuesday afternoon in Ksar el Kebir, where Mr. Hakimi's mother grew up before immigrating to Spain. Mr. Hakimi was born in Spain, returning regularly to Morocco to visit family.
But fatalism this was not. "I'm scared," Ms. El-Asri confessed a second after consigning her fate to God, grinning. "Just like with the last game, I can't stop thinking about it. Are we going to win? Are we going to lose?"
Rest of the story here.

Coming American Fascism
Chapter XVIII
The Inevitability of the Leadership of the Élite
Every social order is essentially a phenomenon of leadership, for leadership is one of the most important or significant things about it. As a scheme of purposes, a social order is mainly the expression of the composite will of a dominant class and, as a body of achievements, it is largely the result of the leadership, management, choices, social planning, and control exercised by members of a minority. It seems useful to give this minority of more than average influence and power a name. That name will be "the elite." This term or classification is not like that of the literate, for which every one can be submitted to a uniform test. It is, however, unimportant whether a few million doubtful cases are classified on one or the other side of the line dividing, for our purposes, the elite from the rest of the population.
The elite may be defined roughly and arbitrarily as including capitalists deriving most of their income from property, business enterprisers and farmers, the professional classes, and, generally, the employed whose salaries are considerably above the average, or, say, above $3,000 a year for the entire country.
Of course, thousands within the classes just named are knaves and fools, or apparently without any real influence or power. But one cannot find a meter to measure the influence and power of every individual. And one cannot go far wrong in working on the assumption that all those in the above mentioned classes, or say roughly one-third of the gainfully employed, or over fifteen million persons (not counting their dependents) are properly classifiable as exercising individually, and in various group aggregates, vastly more power and influence than the rest of the population. Any advertising man or organizer of anything for almost any purpose will readily appreciate why he can accomplish more with a given number of persons drawn at random from this third of the population than with an equal number similarly drawn from the rest of the population. The term elite as used in this connection does not express a value judgment on those so classed, but merely an attempt at factual classification. The term is applied equally to those who are potentially influential and powerful, and those who are actually influential and powerful. It is also applied equally to those who are influential and powerful in anti-social and illegal ways. It is the fact that persons are influential and powerful, not how they use their influence and power, that classes them with the elite. A Karl Marx, living in penury on a meager dole from the funds of relatives and friends, and spending his time reading in the British Museum Library, or writing books which to most people at the time would have seemed incomprehensible or foolish, is, obviously, a more powerful and influential figure than most statesmen in office or captains of industry. And a Jesse James or a Dillinger undoubtedly exercises a more powerful influence over the minds and behavior of hundreds of thousands of unfortunate youths than the average school teacher, whose influence touches far fewer youths and whose influence over those it touches is far less potent than the influence of the example of a Jesse James or a Dillinger over those susceptible to such influence.
It will doubtless shock some tender minds to have a worthy school teacher classed as less influential and powerful than a Jesse James and a Dillinger. But it is absolutely essential to useful social thinking to face facts, and to recognize power and influence wherever they are found to be exercised. A bad example which is made dramatic and notorious can be more powerful and influential than a good example which lacks the qualities that inspire emulation. And a man whose life is branded as a personal failure may, by his example or teaching, make a mighty contribution to the disintegration or destruction of the existing order. The term elite, as here used, does not refer, then, merely to the ins at the top, or only to the people judged good by any standards. It refers to the influential and powerful, and includes also the outs who are potentially, if not actually, as influential and powerful as the ins at the top.
The mischief of soft thinking about leadership and the elite of power is that it causes so many people to disregard the influence of the anti-social criminal of influence, such as the leader or the brains of a criminal gang, as well as the influence of malcontents and maladjusted persons who sow the seeds of social disintegration and revolution. The power of the maladjusted social revolutionary, of course, is more significant than that of the common law breaker, however thrilling the exploits of the latter. The exercise of this power by social revolutionaries is most effective when it takes the form of piling up in the hearts and minds of millions, often more in the subconscious than in the conscious minds, the combustibles of hate and fear to which, at some later date, a more celebrated personality may touch the spark setting off a revolutionary conflagration. Again, the power of the elite who are maladjusted and who are enemies of the existing order may take the form of spreading a corrosive doubt or cynicism as to the essential values of that order.
A wise social philosophy, such as that of fascism, strives to make a place for all the members of the elite. If they cannot be thus eliminated as instruments of destruction of the social order, then other methods for their elimination are followed. The objective of the humane and pragmatic State in its policies with respect to the enemies of the existing order is prevention and not primarily punishment, and it is understood that punishment is an inefficient means of prevention. Fascism, unlike liberalism, does not dramatize the punishment of crime with the sporting events of chasing, capturing and trying the culprit, on which a commercial press, legal profession and movies can make huge profits. Those who cannot be made safe for the community as cooperative members must be made harmless by effective methods which do not allow repetition of the offense or encourage imitation by others.
Criminals of the elite must not be made centers of sensational police and judicial dramas, the principal consequence of which is predisposing thousands of sub-normal or abnormal persons to crime. Their cases must be handled by a system combining many of the features of administrative law and practice with the criminal law. A large number of the criminal elite and the revolutionary elite can be made safe for society by the simple expedient of making proper places for them before they turn to crime or social revolution. Most of the criminals who are mentally or morally deficient could be made safe if detected by proper psychiatric examination in childhood as moral or mental deviates and thereafter institutionalized as long as necessary, which in many cases would be for life. Liberalism will not recognize, as does fascism, that, if a large number of the elite do not find adjustment to the social order and if, in one way or another, they become enemies of the social order, it is mainly the fault of the social order. The social order has the responsibility to fit people to places, and places to people, just as far as such fitting can be done. A social order which allows hundreds of lucky morons to make and keep millions of dollars, and keeps men like Karl Marx or Lenin out of a useful function because in their youth they displayed some innate queerness of personality, has only itself to blame if some of the frustrated conspire successfully its ultimate doom. A social order which allows success and riches for members of the elite having certain skills or aptitudes at a peculiar type of competition found in money-making, and leaves too many other members of the elite, not gifted for this type of competition, largely out of it, will last only as long as the in-elite hold the advantages of numbers, nerve, and lucky breaks. After all, the only good reason, ethical or pragmatic, why a social order can be run in a way to allow fortunes to be made as most of our great fortunes have been made, instead of being run in a way to allow robber barons and belted knights acting as bandits to operate as they have operated for centuries all over the world, is that the elite who have succeeded, or who hope to succeed, at the money-making game have outnumbered and been more lucky than the out-elite. The right and wrong of any social order, after all, is only a matter of how it suits the dominant section of the elite to have the game played. And who the dominant elite shall be can never be permanently determined by law, but must always be determined by force factors, the ultimate play of which, as in war, takes place outside the bounds of law.
The most humane social philosophy is that which recognizes that the rules of the game must, ultimately, allow enough of the elite to play successfully to keep the losers from changing the rules. In other words, to be quite blunt about it, all that will keep the world from going back to a pattern of banditry similar to that which prevailed all over Europe for hundreds of years, and which prevails today in large parts of Asia, will be such changes in the rules of the game as will keep enough of the now frustrated elite satisfied. The scheme of social organization can and should be changed from time to time in ways, never to be foreseen far in advance, to keep any considerable or dangerous number of the elite from being on the outside.
What is needed is a social philosophy of realism which recognizes that there can be no right for the elite of today based on legal theories agreeable to the dominant elite of yesterday but intolerable to too many of today's elite. The legal right of today is always the physical might of the elite of yesterday. The legal right of today as a practical matter, however, always requires the support or acquiescence of the might of the elite of today. The right of some of the elite to hold wealth and exercise power, while too many more of the equally elite are denied these boons, and while they see no chance of attaining them, is sure to be challenged sooner or later by the over-numerous members of the out-elite. Aside from the final test of force in the eventual clash of interests in armed conflict, the standards are purely relative. just how many are too many elite to remain frustrated with safety for the existing order, it is always impossible to say in advance of the final clash. One can never tell with what exact degree of strain a complex structure like a skyscraper or a great bridge will collapse. One can only fix arbitrarily a danger point beyond which one can say there are serious probabilities of collapse which will increase as the strain increases. The best danger index today is the growing number of the frustrated elite. It is this danger signal which should dictate to the in-elite the necessity of changes in the rules of the game. Unfortunately, however, many of the in-elite look to the Constitution and a body of liberal principles guaranteeing the rights of property as the absolute safeguards of their privileged situation whatever may befall the out-elite, and however numerous these latter may become.
To say that the elite rule, or are socially influential, when the term elite is defined to mean such persons is clearly a piece of tautology. But to say that it is always a small minority of power-wielding persons (who may be called the in-elite) which rules directly, or with the legal instruments of social control, and that it is a small minority of others, also the elite, who are profoundly influential on social affairs (though many or most of them may be in poverty or in difficulties with the law) lays the basis for a wholly different social philosophy from that of liberalism. Liberalism says, "Let the people rule," and defines such rule as there is as that of the majority, thus denying or disregarding many obvious and important facts by the simple process of definition and assumption.
Communism says, "Let the dictatorship of the proletariat rule," and asserts categorically that a dictatorship of a small elite of the higher-ups of the communist party is a dictatorship of the proletariat, an assertion which is just as false as the liberal assertion of rule by the people or the majority. Fascism says that the elite, or a small minority, call its members by any term you will, always rule under any system. And fascism proposes a formula of national interest and national discipline under which power is exercised with responsibility to the State for the social consequences of its exercise and with a view to realizing the national plan.
The central point is that it is useful to think of government and management as being the function of a minority, and that it is not useful to any good social purpose to proceed on the theory that the people or the majority rule. It seems idle to speculate as to the nature of a social order in which it would make sense to say that the people ruled. Such a scheme of things would probably have to approximate the conditions obtainable in the small Greek city State, in which there were slaves to do the drudgery, an extremely simple scheme of economic production, and a small group of citizens who could have the time, taste, and requisite personal cultivation, for the complexities of public administration. Such a scheme of social organization is clearly unattainable within the framework of most of the basic features of the present system-features like mass production and division of labor, for instance. The best proof that it is idle to discuss ideal conditions for liberal democracy is to be found in the fact that the trend of all that has been called progress under liberal capitalism during the past fifty years has been unfavorable to the working out of the theory of liberal democracy.
Discussing the questions of who run things, why and how they run things, and how they ought to run things, is almost wholly a matter of using concepts and terms. The same realities seem different as one reduces them to different concepts or defines them differently. The liberal theory can be made to seem reasonable and ethically beautiful by a few simple turns of supposition and definition. One has only to reason that, because the majority has the potential might to transfer, without violence, power from one minority to another, or as liberalism would put it, to delegate power to different representatives of the people, the majority rules. To reason thus, however, is merely to make the ruling class mean by definition that class which, if it is united about doing a given thing, can do that thing against any opposition. Obviously, an overwhelming majority always meets this condition, and any sort of a majority usually meets it.
But the definition, or the underlying concept, is not useful as an instrument of thought for many good reasons. The majority supposed to be agreed as to initiating any important social change is extremely rare, if ever it can be said to occur. And a majority rarely remains long agreed on any important enterprise except war. Social changes usually are wrought without majority knowledge or support of their initiation. But even when social changes seem to have majority support for their initiation, it is always a minority which is responsible for first turning majority support in that direction.
The majority is purely a thing of assumption or definition on the occasion of some event, like an election, a Saar plebiscite, a referendum vote on prohibition, or popular acclaim of a declaration of war. Minorities, on the other hand, are not just things of definition. They are active factors which, twenty-four hours of each day, are on the job of getting what they want. With minorities you can do things with majorities. Without minority initiatives you cannot get a majority act or expression. The minority is as real as an army in the field. The majority is real only as a definition of those who do some specific act, usually under minority pressure and direction.
Fortunately for the advancement of the fascist case for responsible rule by the elite according to some idealized scheme of national interest, less argument is required in 1935 than would have been necessary in 1914. We have not time to undertake the demolition, point by point, of the liberal case for majority rule. Current events make it seem superfluous. We can only allude briefly in this chapter to two important groups of facts and considerations which invalidate liberalism and indicate fascism so far as the question of who rules is concerned. The first of these groups of facts may be said to have to do with the limitations and inequalities inherent in human personalities. The second may be called matters of the sheer mechanics of administration and management of large numbers of people and the complex instruments of modern civilization.
Now, as for the limitations and inequalities inherent in human personalities, it may be said that the trend of conclusions based on scientific observation, experimentation, and measurement, in the fields of psychology, psychiatry, biology, and many other related areas of specialized study of human beings as physical organisms and behaving subjects, has been, and continues to be, in the direction of establishing important and irreducible inequalities in intellectual capacity, aptitudes, and character, of different members of any large group. Contrary to one of the major theses of 18th century rationalism and 19th century educational optimism, these inequalities are being increased rather than lessened as a result of more widely diffused educational advantages.
Thus, in the free public schools of great cities it has been found that the small percentage of gifted children among all those enjoying equal public school advantages remains more or less constant, and that over ninety per cent of the exceptionally gifted children come from the homes of the more privileged classes or the classes which we are calling the elite. Putting generations of children through the same educational mill does not change the distribution of gifted, average and sub-normal children among the privileged and underprivileged classes. Thus, one of the most cherished ideals of 18th century rationalism has failed of realization. Education accentuates rather than levels out inequalities of natural endowment. Intelligence tests made of the same persons before, during, and at the end, of either the four-year college course or a seven-or eight-year combined college and professional course, show that the inequalities between different persons increase rather than diminish after undergoing the same course of training.
There is great social significance in the fact that the elite of exceptional natural endowment, who, as a matter of course, become the elite of power and influence, actual or potential, are a fairly constant percentage of the total population. From this fact it follows that no social system can long survive, once it tends strongly to declass more and more of the elite. In other words, the elite are more vital or resistant to suppression as wielders of power and influence than any social system. Civilizations come and go, but the elite go on forever. This point will recur in another connection in the discussion of the next chapter.
There is nothing really depressing about these facts concerning the elite. Nor is there to be deduced from these facts any good argument against more and better education for everyone. These facts, however, do indicate a revision of liberal ideals in education and social policy. They indicate the social convenience of non-liberal values. From the purely humane point of view, it is indicated that the chief object of education, as well as one of the highest group values, should be that of making each person realize his full potentialities and prove a good citizen within the role for which he will be best suited by reason of natural endowment and with the aid of the best training. It is not to make all men equal, or to enable every one to follow a more highly remunerated calling than that of his father.
Liberal education may protest, but in vain, that its chief objective has always been to fit people for the kind of life and work for which they are naturally best fitted. The values exalted by liberal education, and the influence of the liberally and expensively educated, have caused the vast majority of people in the liberal countries to think of education as an instrument to qualify every one to make more money. Hence we find our institutions of higher learning so overrun with the unfit for such training that the fit do not receive the training they merit and require in the best interests of the community.
To effect a necessary revision of cultural values in this respect many drastic measures are indicated, adequate discussion of which would exceed the limits of this chapter. The conscientious performance of the most commonplace tasks must be exalted through all the agencies forming social attitudes. A cult must be made of simple labor and faithful performance of duty. Those admitted to the pursuit of higher studies must be made to do fairly long tours of service at elementary forms of labor in connection with their course of training. The rationale of the new values in this respect must be that only character ennobles a person, while rank is but a convenience of administration.
From the inescapable fact of the inequalities of human endowment, it also follows that any well-ordered society must train and condition its elite under an efficient and hard discipline of national interest. Fascist theory, by recognizing personal inequalities and their full social implications, can be much more humane than a liberalism which assumes that all men are born equal and which, in practice, affords to those born with superior endowment, or favored with better luck than the majority, virtually unlimited opportunities to acquire and use power with irresponsibility for social consequences and in ways further to increase social inequalities.
The other important group of facts which invalidate the liberal theory of rule by the people, or the majority, and which indicate fascism, are found in the sheer mechanics of administration or management, political and economic. If one thinks in terms of the mechanics of running things, and not merely in terms of the hypothesis that, if the people were angry enough against their government, they could change it, either legally or violently, one soon realizes that the machinery, political and economic, inevitably must be run by a minority of technicians whose functions are mainly those of managing and choosing. The orthodox liberal would admit that the people cannot manage, management being a function which must be delegated to specialists in management. But he would insist that the people can choose the objectives of management and that, therefore, in their exercise of choice, they may be said to rule or govern.
It is precisely in the matter of making choices or decisions, however, that the liberal theory is so untrue to the realities. For one thing, they who manage, also, by reason of the very mechanics of power and management, make most of the choices and decisions which liberalism, by definition, imputes to the majority of the people. A majority vote at the polls or in a legislative assembly is, in the largest number of cases, nothing more or less than the product of a minority interest managing things and wielding power.
Then, for another thing, there is the fact that the really important or crucial choices or decisions are seldom made by a majority vote, even formally, or by a majority of selections in the so-called free market. Wars and depressions, for instance, are really important events. In so far as the cumulative choices or decisions which hasten or precipitate either event are concerned, it cannot be said that they often express the wishes or will of a majority of the people. The American people could choose in 1916 between President Wilson and Judge Hughes, but, as events and the since-disclosed correspondence and secrets of Mr. Wilson abundantly reveal, the American people could not vote in the elections of 1916 to keep us out of war, although that, undoubtedly, was their wish.
There was no candidate in 1916 with a chance of getting a majority vote who was committed to, or, if elected, would have been capable of, carrying out an effective policy of American neutrality. Similarly, it may be said that, while the people undoubtedly wish to avert depressions, they have no means, under the liberal system, of giving a mandate to the political and economic powers to do the things which would help to prevent or minimize depressions.
The chief reason, perhaps, why the American people cannot give an effective mandate to their political and economic rulers to do what may be necessary to keep the nation out of war or to minimize depressions is that the system does not allow the needful power to the people's elected or provide the requisite mechanisms of control. It is as though a national legislature were to vote a declaration of war while the Constitution forbade the maintenance of military discipline, and while the courts exercised the right to enjoin and restrain the military authorities under circumstances in which they require large powers and wide discretion.
Briefly, in reality the people can choose or will only such results as their public agents are empowered and equipped to bring about. When the people choose Tweedledum instead of Tweedledee, or Woodrow Wilson instead of Charles Evans Hughes, they are not registering any significant choice as to important social results, like keeping the country out of war. The more power and the more efficient and adequate instrumentalities the people allow their public agents, the more nearly correct it is to say that the people rule through their agents.
A powerful State guided by a capable elite loyal to some scheme of national interest is far more expressive of the popular will than a weak liberal State, because the powerful State can do more than the weak State to shape social events of importance, and also chiefly because the powerful State can make the people genuinely like or assent to what it does. Under the weak State, all sorts of things (like our entry into the war) happen against everyone's original wish; many things which every one wishes, fail to happen; and the weak State succeeds in making the people enthusiastically endorse its administration only when at war.
A further explanation why a majority vote (expressing the desire of the people for some important given result, and issuing a mandate to that effect to those elected) is so often meaningless is that there is no satisfactory means of proving relations of cause and effect in political or economic administration. It is asserted here, as the sincere belief of the author, that President Wilson and the international bankers were chiefly responsible for the initiatives or decisions which contributed most to getting us into the World War. It is also asserted here that the leaders in government and big business were mainly responsible for the initiatives which contributed most to the inflationary boom of 1927-1929.
But neither of these assertions can be scientifically proved as certainties. It is just never possible to prove in politics or economics, where important policies and events are in question, that a plus b equals c. Liberal theory assumes that it can always be proved that a plus b equals c in governmental or business management, and that, accordingly, if a government or banking house does a plus b, with the result that c happens, the people will hold certain parties in government or the bank responsible for having done a plus b things. As everyone should know, the liberal statesmen and the bankers always have an alibi for every political and economic crime which is committed by them.
To sum up, then, it may be said that the elite do rule, as liberal theory does not recognize; that they, and not the majority of people, make most of the important choices; that their acts are not subject to rational control by a cause-effect process of, reasoning; and that their acts are not subject to popular control by the ballot or the enforcement of the Constitution in the way liberal theory supposes possible. All this, however, does not amount to saying, by any means, that the elite are subject to no control by the people, or that the rule of the elite under any modern social order is wholly capricious and irresponsible. If, as so seldom happens, the majority is agreed that one set of the elite in power must give place to another, and if the majority is capably inspired and led by the out-elite, it is self-evident that the majority can replace one set of the elite in power by another. In this way the majority can be said to determine a change in rule.
It is, however, equally self-evident from history and clear thinking that one set of the elite which happens to be out of power can organize and lead a successful overturn in which they will replace the elite who are in power — all without having the majority of the people with them. This is precisely what happened in the communist seizure of power in Russia in 1917. In elections held under the most liberal government Russia has ever had, the communists polled less than one-third of the total number of votes cast just a few weeks before they seized power at the point of the bayonet. The out-elite, of course, try to enlist and use as many people as they can get, but they do not need a majority in order to seize power. After they have seized power, as we have already stated, the out-elite can quickly and easily secure the appropriate majority vote ratifying their regime — as Napoleons one and three, Lenin, Mussolini, and Hitler, to cite a few well-known examples, fully illustrate. In parentheses, it may be added, also, that historians are now pretty generally agreed that the American Revolution was fought and won by a minority.
The problem of order and welfare, in the light of the fore-going considerations about the inevitability of the leadership of the elite or a minority, appears to be largely one of getting the right elite or minority in power, and having their administration shaped by the influence of certain fundamental ideas and by certain effective personal motivations. These basic ideas for good government by the elite can be expressed in writing in terms of general principles or social ideals.
But it will serve no good purpose to have this expression take the form of written law or constitution subject to judicial ex-position and interpretation. Any written statements of prin-ciple, serving chiefly the purposes of popular education and propaganda, must be subject only to interpretation by the combined legislative and executive agents of the people. Such interpretation will then be in terms of current needs and cur-rent opinion, whereas interpretation in terms of juridical canons must soon become static and expressive mainly of a body of theory or a system of logic developed by a caste of learned clerks or technicians in a logical system, and a procedure of their own creation. These technicians of their own peculiar logical system, however, are not technicians in social management. Most important is the consideration that the ruling principles governing the elite must be made a part of their conditioned reflexes, or their habitual and almost involuntary reactions, rather than a part of a legal code. In the next chapter we shall examine the question of safeguards for the rule of the elite, and the bases of the fascist appeal to the ins and the outs of the elite and to the masses.
