Why are Russian MiG-29 fighters still important to India?
EurasiaDefenseHeadline News
By Paul Antonopoulos On Apr 10, 2019
NEW DELHI – Today the Indian Armed Forces has more than 70 MiG-29 fighters, although they also have more modern and heavy planes, like the Su-30MKI. The Russkoe Oruzhie portal explains the reasons why Indian pilots continue to use Soviet and Russian production planes, preferring them over the French Rafale.
As the portal indicates, the MiG-29s are reliable, maneuverable aircraft with good attack characteristics. The main task of the MiG-29 is to repulse the Pakistani F-16s on the western Indian frontier, something with which it handles very well.
Before the heaviest fighters went into service with the Indian Air Force, the MiG-29 was the most important aviation aircraft in the country. India made the first orders for these Soviet aircraft as early as 1980, as the country needed a fighter capable of dealing with the US F-16 Fighting Falcons that the US had supplied to Pakistan.
The MiG-29 was great for this purpose, as it was built as an "opponent" to the heavier F-15 Eagle and had been invaluable during the Kargil War in 1999, when the MiGs successfully held Pakistani fighter jets due to their missiles and the general superiority of its basic characteristics.
According to the publication, since the delivery of the first aircraft in 1985, the Indian Air Force has been significantly strengthened.
In the early 2000s a contract was signed with Russia to adapt the MiG-29 to the use of long-range R-77 missiles, which are capable of detecting and landing enemy aircraft out of sight. India would have started using these missiles even before the Russian Air Force, writes Militarywatch magazine .
Later, India purchased 45 MiG-29K folding wings, which formed the air unit of the only Indian aircraft carrier Vikramaditya (former Soviet aircraft carrier Kiev). India also hopes to use the naval version of the MiG-29 tailored to its Vikrant aircraft carrier, built in the country.
Although the MiG-29s have to compete with the more modern Russian Su-30MKI aircraft, the light MiG-29 fighter continues to be very important to the Indian Air Force, especially given India's refusal to buy 136 French Rafale fighters because of its high cost and problems with the production of HAL Tejas fighters.

With New Energy Vehicles (NEV) rapidly increasing in popularity, 2019 will be a landmark year for MG Motor as the company rolls out its first all-electric SUV in a number of markets around the world. The MG EZS, already a Middle East favorite in its petrol guise, is the first of a series of models featuring innovative electric vehicle technology that will see the British-born brand establish its place as a world-leader in the field of NEVs.
MG's parent company, SAIC Motor is the only automaker in China that is simultaneously developing electric vehicles, plug-in electric hybrid vehicles and fuel cell vehicles. It has launched more than 20 NEV models to date, and sold more than 140,000 NEVs in 2018, up 120 percent on the previous year. MG is already benefiting from this expertise, showcasing the E-Motion electric sports car concept in 2017, and launched the MG6 Hybrid sedan in domestic market.
Marketing a range of NEVs in the Middle East is key to MG's ambitious plans. As part of its development program, last year the brand brought a Hybrid Electric (PHEV) version of its popular RX5 SUV to the region for hot weather testing. This successful assessment process, which included visits to Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and the UAE, demonstrated that the company is ready to deliver electric vehicles that can cope with the challenging climatic conditions that the region offers.
The new MG EZS has already proved to be a success in China and will go on sale in other markets later this year. It is equipped with a single electric motor that drives the front wheels and delivers 148bhp and 350Nm of torque – accelerating this compact SUV from 0-50km/h in 3.1 seconds. It has a range of 428km between charges and also benefits from a fast-charging capacity that allows up to 80 per cent of the charge to be replenished in just 30 minutes.
And while the MG EZS is yet to be announced for the Middle East, the 1.5L petrol version of the MG ZS gained popularity in the compact SUV segment and reached the second top spot in sales volume across KSA. Available in three high value trim levels, MG's compact SUV is the perfect option for buyers seeking a good-looking, well-equipped, well-built car at a sensible price.
2018 was a great year for MG Motor in the Middle East, with record sales registered despite the challenging market conditions. With a network of dedicated retail partners across the Middle East boasting 20 modern showrooms and 21 service centers, the brand's presence is growing apace. And, with a further three new models joining the region's model line-up in 2019, MG is perfectly primed to continue its expansion.

History: A small (18.4 g) end piece of a badly oxidized octahedrite was found in 1925 at the collection of the Escola de Minas Ouro Preto. In 1960 it was donated to Museu Nacional of Rio de Janeiro. The meteorite was mentioned in the British Museum catalog and the Handbook of iron meteorites of Buchwald, when it was named Patos de Minas (octahedrite), or Patos II, to distinguish it from Corrego do Areado, or Patos de Minas (hexahedrite). In 2002, a mass of about 200 kg was found by Paulo Garcia when plowing the land with a tractor.
Physical characteristics: One mass of about 200 kg has average dimensions of 54 × 33 × 22 cm. It is rough, elongated and very weathered, exhibiting some grooves due to terrestrial corrosion and with no signs of fusion crust.
Description: Polished sections display a poor medium Widmanstätten structure of irregular kamacite lamellae 1.1 ± 0.2 mm (max. 2.4 mm), with the Widmanstätten pattern not very obvious. Aspect ratios (length/width) of individual lamellae range from 1 to 8, most being 4-6. Terrestrial corrosion penetrates to a depth of 5 cm. Troilite nodules are very common. The structure is identical to Patos de Minas (octahedrite) so the two masses are considered to be paired.
Geochemistry: (John T. Wasson, UCLA, data obtained by INAA). Bulk composition: Co = 4.8, Ni = 83 (both mg/g); Ga = 67, Cu = 240, As = 15.4, Ir = 1.3 and Au = 1.7 (all in µg/g).
Type specimens: A total of 1200 g of sample is on deposit at MNRJ/UFRJ/Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The main mass was recently sold by the finder.


Lemon, Dandelion, Canary. Experience the rare beauty of Diamond Envy's fancy yellow diamonds. Shop our amazing collection below.
Thanks to a large celebrity following, yellow diamonds have become a very fashionable diamond color. They embody a certain sophistication that is not only unique, but classic. Natural yellow diamonds owe their chic and lively color to nitrogen that bonds with the carbon atoms during the formation process. The more nitrogen, the more vibrant the yellow diamond appears. Fancy yellow diamonds begin where the colorless D-Z grading scale ends. Although some stones on the colorless scale may exhibit a yellow tint, they are not considered fancy yellow diamonds.
Yellow diamonds are the most popular of all the colors. This is not only because they possess bright and cheery color, it is because they commonly have excellent clarity. Natural yellow diamonds generally contain fewer inclusions compared to other colored diamonds, making their brilliance undeniable.
At Diamond Envy, all our fancy yellow diamonds are certified natural. Each one is accompanied by a GIA certificate so you can make an educated purchase.

The rumors and guesswork will soon be over, as the 2nd most anticipated day of the NFL year is here tomorrow. Here is my Final 2018 NFL Mock Draft.

A former Sports Minister, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, has said the All Progressives Congress (APC) has the solution to Nigeria's political development and stability.
He, therefore, urged Nigerians to think carefully of the party they will cast their votes for in next year's general elections.
Abdullahi, who publicly declared his membership of the APC yesterday in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital, said the opposition party is the only party that holds the key to Nigeria's political future.
The former minister told reporters that he had become a card-carrying member of the APC and was now involved in partisan politics.
He urged Nigerian professionals, who desire a positive change in the affairs of the nation, to join the party.
The former minister said he discovered when he was in office as a commissioner in Kwara State and a minister at the federal level that professionals, especially journalists with commitment, can make changes happen when they are called upon to serve.
On the state of the nation, Abdullahi, a tested journalist said: "The question you should ask yourself is whether or not you are better off today than you were six years ago; whether or not the education your children receive today is better than what they six years ago and whether or not the health services available to you today are better than what was obtainable six years ago.
"So, if you conclude that they are better, then there is no need for you to change. But if, like many of us, you face the reality that they are not, then you will understand why we say that we need a change.
"I have served at the state and national levels and I am convinced now that I should be more involved in contributing to solving problems, not just writing about them (problems). That is why I am now a full member of the APC.
"Yes, I used to see myself as a technocrat. It was strategic because I needed to have an environment to perform the job I was given without necessarily becoming political or promoting myself. That's because whether as a commissioner or minister, I was only there by the recommendation of my bosses. I needed to do the work assigned to me without failing.
"However, I also discovered that much as that gave me the opportunity to perform, the truth is that it became a limitation in some ways. This is because when the decisions are to be made, which would affect the people, technocrats are not allowed to be in such gatherings. They are only called upon to implement the decisions and, even in doing that, they have to be careful because it may affect the fortunes of the politician".
he also perform well in the federal level.
Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi is a man of quality, we re proud of you.
He has served both at the state and national level and I am convinced now that he should be more involved in contributing to solving problems, not just writing about them (problems) again and that is why we need him for a change. MALLAM BOLAJI ABDULLAHI You're great sir. you have really done well, and we believe you will continue in APC.
his impact on nigerian sports as sports minister is very palpable at the on-going commonwealth games. am sure he has a lot to offer in mainstream politcs. I am convinced now that he should be more involved in contributing to solving problems, not just writing about them (problems) again and that is why we need him for a change.
Abdullahi is a man of quality, we re proud of you.

Actually, Al didn't bring the Jell-O shots to that con. Another booster club did, or maybe even Syracuse as host.
Correction: got my AHLBCC's mixed up. He was the special guest when Syracuse hosted the convention, not ours.
Kevin was our special guest when the Booster Club hosted the AHLBCC convention last September. He was especially fun to hang out with afterwards. Congrats to Kevin being named to Portland'scoaching staff!


You & I Fragrance Trailer!
One Direction fans, don't get too excited but the video we're about to show you will probably blow your minds.
The band, who recently performed in Canada, just released the ad for their third fragrance You & I and it really has little to do with perfume, naturally (but it is still very good).
The Mission Impossible rip-off style video sees the handsome fivesome transform into spies dressed all in black with balaclavas, with their mission to steal the the perfume which lies inside the presumably very well guarded vault.
As they abseil down into the white room they eventually pull the balaclavas off and fight each other off as they try to grab the perfume located in the centre of the room.
Our favourite part is definitely where Irish charmer Niall gets a foot square in the face at the 50 second mark.
As soon as the video dropped, loyal fans hit Twitter to share their mostly hilarious thoughts.
"If the you & I fragrance and candle don't smell like Zayn's high note I'm not buying it."
And: "The boys stealing the you and i fragrance is probably what I will do bc I'm broke.
Then there was "Liam be like "OHMYOGOD NIALL HORAN SMELLED MY FOOT!11!1!# 1DFragrance."
What do you think of One Direction's new ad? Tweet us @MirrorCeleb and let us know.
New 1D Fragrance Is On Its Way!
One Direction are to release their third perfume in a year, it has been confirmed.
Named You & I, band member Liam Payne announced the news via Twitter and YouTube.
In the 15-second clip, Payne says that they have some "really, really big news for you guys", before stating that the fragrance will be on sale this summer.
Payne added: "We've worked really hard on it and tried to find a scent that we all like, and we worked really hard on designing the packaging and the bottle as well, so we can't wait for you guys to see it. Enjoy."

Q: Unique constraint in Postgres based on last non-null value I have a table that looks like the following: create table prices_history (id0 serial primary key, product_id0 int, time_added timestamptz, listed_price numeric)
I would like to only insert a new price for a particular product_id0 into the table when max(time_added) of that product_id0 is distinct from the price I'm about to insert. Currently, I'm doing this through the following query, assuming that I want to insert a price of 9.50 for the product with id 101:
  insert into prices_history (product_id0, time_added, price)
  (
    select 101, NOW(), 9.50 where not exists (
      select * from (
        select distinct on (product_id0) * from prices_history order by product_id0, time_added desc
      ) x where product_id0=101 and listed_price=9.50
    )
  ) returning id0

Is there a better query to solve this problem?
I'm using Postgres v9.6.8 on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.

A: Instead of using WHERE NOT EXISTS, I found that a more sustainable solution to do bulk inserts was LEFT JOIN..WHERE NULL. This involves doing a left join with the data I wanted to insert, choosing the data where there was no matching data in the old table. In the following example, say I had the following pricing data (represented as JSON):
[{price: 11.99, product_id0:2},
 {price: 10.50, product_id0:3},
 {price: 10.00, product_id0:4}]

The following query, would insert a subset of this data if any of it is new information:
insert into prices_history (product_id0, time_added, price)
(
   select new_product_id0, new_time_added, new_price from
     (select unnest(array[11.99, 10.50, 10.00]) as new_price, unnest(array[2,3,4]) as new_product_id0, now() as new_time_added) new_prices left join
     (select distinct on (product_id0) * from prices_history order by product_id0, time_added desc) old_prices
   on old_prices.product_id0 = new_prices.new_product_id0 and old_prices.listed_price= new_prices.new_price
   where old_prices.product_id0 is null and old_prices.listed_price is null
) returning id0

This new query seems to work well in the current deployment.

Whenever we visit our favorite Chinese restaurant, for soup we always order Hot & Sour Chicken Soup. Its not the only soup we like but this is the family-favorite kind so it has to be this. Here I'm sharing home-made Hot& Sour Soup recipe which is definitely restaurant worthy! and will keep you warm through the winters.
Why I'm calling it restaurant worthy is because its very close to what you get at the restaurant and it tasted really really good. Although its not like the authentic Chinese Hot & Sour soup, as in this part of the world we've transformed the Chinese dishes according to our tastes and requirements. As the name suggests its Hot & Sour, here the 'Hot' comes from the chili and garlic paste and pepper whereas the 'Sour' comes from vinegar.
Many Hot & Sour Soup recipes include Mushrooms, bamboo shoots, Tofu etc. These ingredients may not be available in some areas or can be hard to find so with this soup you can include anything that is available i.e. your choice of meat or vegetables.
If you're a veggie lover and don't want chicken in your soup, you can always skip that part and follow the rest and enjoy Vegetable Hot & Sour Soup – it's that simple 🙂 To dress up the Soup it is served with different sauces that includes: Chili Sauce, Soy Sauce and Green Chilies and vinegar.
This recipe is very easy and I'm sure you'll be in love with this Hot & Sour Soup!

Q: Apps Script Error - "Execution failed: Login Required" I have the following line of code in my apps script file, followed by a basic onOpen() function to build a menu:
var listContainers = TagManager.Accounts.Containers.list('accounts/' + accountId);

When that line of code is commented out, the menu is created.  But if that line is not commented out, the menu is not created, and the script doesn't run.
When I check the execution transcript (View --> Execution transcript), I see the following error associated with the line shown above:

Execution failed: Login Required

Under Resources-->Advanced Google Services, I have turned on the Tag Manager API, and I have also enabled that API in the Google API Console.  The accountId is one for a GTM account that I am the owner of.
This is what my manifest file looks like (View --> Show manifest file):
{
  "timeZone": "America/Mexico_City",
  "oauthScopes": [
    "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/script.container.ui",
    "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/spreadsheets",

    }]
  },
  "exceptionLogging": "STACKDRIVER",
  "executionApi": {
    "access": "ANYONE"
  }
}

I feel like all of my grounds are covered here, so I'm not understanding why it is giving me that Login Required error.  I have googled up-and-down for a solution, and can't find anything indicating I am doing anything wrong.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated...thanks!

A: Global variables can't access external services that require authorization in the same way that simple triggers like onOpen and onEdit as well as custom functions can't access them.
If you really want that listContainers be a global variable You could initialize it at the global scope by doing something like
var listContainers;

Then on a function called by a user interface or an installable trigger assign the tag manager list to that variable in the following way:
listContainers = TagManager.Accounts.Containers.list('accounts/' + accountId);

Q: Another HTML5 time element question What does the following text mean below in layman's terms. If you can give me another example of machine-readable?
This element is intended as a way to encode modern dates and times in a machine-readable way so that, for example, user agents can offer to add birthday reminders or scheduled events to the user's calendar

A: Let's look at an example without the time element.

<title>Date of Birth</title>

Joe was born on 20 Jan 1985.

If you were writing a program to parse this HTML page, it would not be very easy to extract the date of birth. How will your program (i.e. a machine) know that "20 Jan 1985" is a date of birth? Humans do, because of the context surrounding the date.
Now consider this:

<title>Date of Birth</title>

Joe was born on <time datetime="1985-01-20">20 Jan 1985</time>.

Your program can now extract the date of birth quite easily simply by getting the time element's datetime attribute. The time element makes it easier to identify dates and times. For example, a browser (i.e. a machine) could detect this date and offer to add it to your calendar.

Why is Nusrat Jahan trending? Controversies are not new to actress-MP
Written By: Pragati Awasthi | Updated: Jun 10, 2021, 07:34 PM IST
Nusrat Jahan- prominent Bengali actress and politician- is in the news again! Two years after her dream-like wedding in Turkey, the actress is now calling her marriage with husband Nikhil Jain invalid in the eyes of Indian law.
This is not the first time that the actress has courted controversy. Over the years, the actress has grabbed headlines for many different reasons, sometimes for her attire and sometimes for her relationships. Scroll down to take a look at her controversial life.
Fairytale wedding
After a major win in the 2019 general election, Nusrat Jahan married her boyfriend, Nikhil Jain in an intimate ceremony in Turkey. Following a fairytale wedding, the couple hosted a grand wedding reception in Kolkata which was attended by several dignitaries including West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, and several Bengali film actors.

Marriage controversy
Amid rumours of her divorce, Nusrat stated that her marriage to Nikhil Jain was not legal in the eyes of law in India. She stated that] there was no question of divorcing him. She said, "Being on foreign land, as per Turkish Marriage Regulation, ceremony is invalid. It was an interfaith marriage, it requires validation under Special Marriage Act in India which didn't happen. As per court of Law, it's not marriage but relationship or live-in relationship," Nusrat, 31, said in a statement, reported news agency ANI. "Thus, the question of divorce does not arise."
"Our separation happened long back, but I did not speak about it as I intended to keep my private life to myself. Thus, my actions must not be questioned based on 'separation', by the media or anybody I am not related to. The alleged marriage is not legal, valid and tenable; and thus, was not a marriage at all in the eye of law," she alleged.
Who is Yash Dasgupta?
Amid news of her separation from husband Nikhil Jain, reports surfaced last year that Nusrat was in a relationship with popular Bengali actor Yash Das Gupta. Yash is a well-known face of the Bengali film industry and also joined the BJP before the West Bengal assembly elections were held this year. He also contested the election but failed to win a seat.
The two have so far not confirmed or denied their relationship.
Park Street rape case
In 2016, Nusrat's name briefly came up in the infamous Park Street rape case. Suzette Jordan was raped at gun point in a moving car in Kolkata's Park Street area. The prime accused Kader Khan, was reportedly seeing Nusrat at that time. It was stated that Nusrat had met Khan while he was at large and the two had even reportedly spent a day in Mumbai hotel soon after this incident. She had even arranged for his flight tickets to Patna even as Kolkata Police was on the lookout. No charges were made against her eventually as she had denied meeting or helping Khan.
Interfaith marriage
Her marriage with a Jain businessman was always a subject matter of controversy from the beginning and was constantly bashed by Muslim hardliners, who questioned her decision to marry a non-Muslim and following Hindu customs.
Called 'unislamic'
During her oath taking ceremony as an MP of the Lok Sabha, Nusrat's attire as a newlywed bride- complete with vermillion, mangalsutra and bangles stirred a major controversy.
Newly-elected TMC MP was called out by Muslim clerics who issued a fatwa against her for sporting Mangalsutra and vermillion and called it 'un-Islamic'.
Responding to the fatwa, Nusrat tweeted that she represents an "inclusive India" and would not pay heed to the comments made by "hardliners as it only breeds hatred and violence".
Wearing western clothes to the parliament
Newly elected, Nusrat's first day at the Parliament sparked controversy. For her first day, Nushrat along with fellow TMC MP and actress Mimi Chakraborty, chose to wear a western outfit and clicked a few selfies and photos outside India's great democratic institution. Their choice of clothes was widely discussed on social media .
Both Nusrat and Mimi were trolled for their outfit. A certain section of social media was up in arms about their posts and even raised an objection about their attire. Both the actresses were subjected to bitter trolling with many questioning their credentials as politicians.
The two were backed by several women on social media back then who stated that what they wore to the parliament was completely their choice and no one should have the right to dictate.
Nusrat was born in a Muslim Bengali family in Kolkata, West Bengal, India to Muhammed Shah Jahan and Sushma Khatun on 8 January 1990. The actress completed her schooling and college in Kolkata.
In 2010, Jahan won Fair One Miss Kolkata and started her career in modelling. She made her Tollywood debut in the year 2011, from the film, 'Shotru' alongside Jeet. Later she went on to star in many other movies and item songs, which were instant hit and chartbusters.
Her other notable films include 'Khiladi', with Ankush Hazra, 'Sondhe Namar Agey', with Rahul Bose, 'Har Har Byomkesh', the movie was a huge box office success and many more.

Colin in Tizz over Cue Card chances
Cue Card and Paddy Brennan winning at Haydock
Colin Tizzard says that winning the Gold Cup with Cue Card at Cheltenham on Friday would represent the pinnacle of his training career.
Tizzard reports his stable star as 'happy as Larry' as the 10-year-old bids to land the £1million National Hunt bonus prize put up by the Jockey Club for completing the hat-trick of the Betfair Chase, The King George and the Gold Cup.
"I've never seen Cue Card look so well, he is in brilliant shape," said the dairy farmer turned trainer, who has enjoyed a golden season.
"I'm so proud of Cue Card, it is a fairytale really.
"I'm expecting a mighty run in the Gold Cup because he comes alive there.
"He just loves the place, having won three of his seven races at Cheltenham and only finishing out of the top four once."
Tizzard says the two-and-a-half-month gap before Cheltenham has provided the perfect respite for Cue Card and has no doubts that the six-time Grade One winner, who is as short as 5-1, will stay the distance.
"Before, I used to think that he might stay, but now I know he will," said Tizzard.
"He is a completely different horse – he looks like a thorough three mile chaser now.
"To see Cue Card win the King George at Kempton like he did was unbelievable really after he had sluiced up at Haydock Park in November.
"The bonus (£1 million) I thought was an impossible task but we are one win away now.
"To win the Gold Cup, though, would be the greatest moment of my career."
Haydock Park general manager Jason Fildes said: "We are all willing Cue Card on because Haydock was where his amazing adventure began in November, winning the Betfair Chase."

Q: How to make a sidebar menu fixed, but floated on the right side I have been at this for a while and I am wondering how to make a side menu stay in the same place, but stay floating on the right side.  When ever I use the fixed element it all ways pulls my sidebar from right to left.
Thanks.

A: Set sidebar position to fixed. Set the height and width you wish and the set the right css property to 0. That should work

A: Make sure to Specify position like top and left like:
div#myDIV
{
     position:fixed;
     width:100px;
     height:100px;
     left:10px;
     top:100px;
}

See this example: http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/playit.asp?filename=playcss_position&preval=fixed

A: try right:0
.cont
{
     position:fixed;
     width:200px;
     height:200px;
     right:0px;
     top:100px;
     background:#999;
}

http://jsfiddle.net/6L6wj/

A: I would also consider to use the z-index property:
#yourdiv {
     position:fixed;
     width:200px;
     height:200px;
     right:10px;
     top:10px;
     z-index: 10;
}

Remember to set the other contaner to
#maincontainer {
     position:relative;
     z-index: 1;
}

First pioneered by the Rockefeller family in the late 19th century, family offices started gaining popularity in the 1980s. But since 2005 — as the ranks of the super rich have grown to record proportions — family offices have swelled proportionately. Let's see what one of the top recruiters in the field has to say about it.
December 9, 2016 © Hunt Scanlon Media – A traditional family office is a business run by, and for, a single family. Its sole function is to centralize the management of a significant family fortune. Typically, these organizations employ staff to manage investments, taxes, philanthropic activities, trusts, and legal matters. The purpose of a family office is to invest the family's money, manage its assets, and disburse payments to family members as required, effectively transferring established wealth across generations.
With millions and sometimes billion of dollars at stake and multiple generations involved, finding just the right leader to oversee a family office can be challenging. Trust and culture fit are at the top of the specification sheet of any recruiter tasked with searching for a family office head.
Just a handful of executive recruiters serve the family office environment. Linda Mack, founder and president of Chicago-based Mack International, is one. With an expertise in asset and wealth management, she and her colleagues have helped to staff some of the more prominent family offices over the last 15 years. With that in mind, Mack International was inducted into the inaugural 'Hunt Scanlon Financial Fifty' ranking earlier this year, a list of top financial services search specialists. In the following interview, she discusses the nuances of recruiting in this highly specialized sector.
Linda, provide us with a general overview of your firm and your wealth management and family office recruiting expertise.
We are a small, highly specialized boutique firm comprised of only a few people and we all work collaboratively and approach our search work as one team. Family office, wealth management and the investment management markets comprise our niche. On the buy side, we work with families, their family offices and family business enterprises, family investment companies and family foundations. But the common thread is it's all family. On the advisor side we work with the firms that serve the ultra high net worth family office market. These include everything from the large broker dealers to private banks, boutique wealth management firms, and niche investment consulting and asset managers, trust tax estate specialists, and so forth. With all of these constituencies in play, culture fit and trust are paramount to what we do and how we approach our assignments. And our team structure is important and serves this market well. When it comes to searches on the family office side, we will put a team of two to three very experienced people on those assignments. They will typically have at least 15 to 20 years of experience specializing in the minutiae of family office work. So that's how we operate and everyone here who works on family office assignments also works on wealth and investment management searches. We also have several independent consultants who work with us and they typically come in when we are engaged in highly specialized assignments. For example, we have a colleague in New York who is specialized in the investment management. She will work with us on assignments for CIOs and other investment-oriented types of assignments.
What are the nuances in dealing with a family office environment and what is unique about it from the recruiter-client relationship?
First and foremost, it is a very personal relationship when you are working with a family. When we conduct a search, we start with a 360 degree assessment process where we interface with all of the people with whom the candidate will need to work or collaborate so that person will be instantly effective when they begin in the role. This almost always involve the principals of the family and, in some cases multiple generations or multiple branches of families, their staffs and advisors. So this is unlike searching for any other client; it is a highly personal process where we communicate very closely with families. And of course when you layer in private discussions about their wealth, it can and does become very personal, very quickly. But from my perspective as a recruiter what is most distinct about a family office is the type of professional they seek. Each family has unique needs, a unique culture, and like any family a family office is made up of many individuals and they span in some cases multiple generations. So, from our perspective and before we can even begin to profile what the family office leader will look like, we step back and look at things like family dynamics and, most importantly, what the family is trying to accomplish over the next 15 to 20 years and then we make certain that everybody is in sync and aligned around that vision and the objectives set forth. This, then, enables us to profile the position and to figure out who best will fit.
Talk more about culture fit and family offices.
Working with families is loaded with nuance. Every family as I say is unique. So we typically open with discussions around family and we look at long-term horizons. It is a very personal conversation which touches on business objectives certainly, but the discussion about family objectives figure more prominently at least in the beginning. I would say culture fit is just so crucial. It is important in any search for a family that the culture is right in the bullseye or it won't work. So, philosophies, values, communication style, decision making — these all have to be spot on. Again, because we approach this as a 360 degree assessment process at the beginning, we are digging very deeply into family culture. So culture fit is extraordinarily important. As we always say, getting someone who has the requisite skills and experience to perform the job is just the first cut in the search work we do. Ninety five percent of every search we conduct is about culture fit. And that is for the incoming family office leader as well. So it works both ways. In terms of potential candidates, the market is surprisingly limited and it can be a challenge to identify qualified individuals who can work in what is a highly specialized environment and culture for what can sometimes be at least a generation in time. So what's that, 20 years. Benchmarking positions is very challenging as well because title nomenclature can be very misleading in the family office world.
So what type of talent are you typically recruiting into a family office situation?
There is an old saying in the business that when you have seen one family office, you've seen one family office. Each one is that unique — they are like snowflakes. Typically, for the head of family office we are looking for the 'expert generalist.' This is the person who needs to possess an understanding of all of the functional areas of wealth management and the family on a horizontal basis but who also maintains a keen knowledge across the whole continuum of finance, accounting, tax, estate planning, investments, philanthropy and so forth. It's complicated. The family requires that the professional they hire to manage the family office understands what the family's requirements are, how they are staffed, and what their objectives are. That person also has to have tremendous peripheral vision because they need to understand that when something happens 180 degrees to the right there might be three things that will be effected 180 degrees to the left. Family office leaders need to be very smart and highly resourceful. They can't anticipate everything that will come up in the family office world and they might not have all the answers, but they should know all of the questions to ask and they should have the network and resources to be able to tap into to get the information that the family needs to make a good decision. So that is the classic head of office or what we call the 'expert generalist.' They are also responsible for coordinating among and between the external advisors and the internal staff, making sure nothing falls through the cracks between all of the functional areas. When we recruit CIOs or CFOs for a family office, we are looking for all of the technical skills and competencies so they are able to perform the job at hand. But even in these positions, it's extremely important to get that culture fit right. In these instances we might be getting into investment philosophy or even compensation philosophies. That's where culture fit comes into play in big ways.
Do the tenures and expectations differ from that of more traditional senior level searches?
As I touched on earlier we are typically looking for someone who can take on a 15 to 20 year assignment. And when it's for that long, it becomes a very personal relationship. After all, family office leaders will be with one family for what can be at least an entire generation. When we are doing search work for an institution, certainly it's a personal relationship between us and their team and between the institution and the leader they ultimately choose, but it's still an institution. When working with a family, it's just so much more of a private, personal relationship, and it's a confidential family relationship. I think that's what sets this apart so much. So, to that end, we help families define performance expectations and metrics to define and evaluate what success might look like and that becomes something unique to each family given the cultural differences that exist. So, yes, the tenures tend to be longer as opposed to a traditional assignment with a senior-level professional being recruited into a corporate position and we have to plan accordingly for that. This is why the identification and vetting process is so critical. When you couple that with what is already a narrow field of candidates who are the best qualified for these types of head of family office positions, it truly requires a skilled recruiter to bring all of this together.


The end points below use POST and PUT but they do not change any data. They act like GET endpoints. The reason we use POST and PUT is to allow for passing an object as a parameter.
Many data objects have properties with a Data Type of Entity Ref. An Entity Ref is the relationship between 2 tables. For example customer has an Entity Ref for Sales Tax Code.
In order to populate the customer object we need either the Id (preferable) or the Name of the Entity Ref. The Order Time API exposes the entityRef end point that returns an array of EntityRef objects.
The Lists in Order Time are used to find records. The Order Time API exposes the lists end point that returns an array of the objects requested.
POST - Return an array of the objects requested.
PUT - Returns the record count.
Both the Entity Ref and Lists end points use the ListInfo object as a parameter. Please consider the following.
The Type [RecordTypeEnum] parameter is required. This tells the system which object to get.
All filters must resolve to True.
When using the In or Not In operators, the FilterValueArray property should contain a comma delimited string of values.
When using the Custom DataMacro,the FilterValueArray property is required.

Entre el 500 y 700 d.C., los indígenas que habitaron el territorio actual de Costa Rica manufacturaron objetos de jadeíta y otras piedras verdes (cuarzo, calcedonia, ópalo, ágata, ompacita, serpentina), conocidas en general como jade, usando técnicas y motivos autóctonos, que fueron utilizados como adornos y talismanes. Durante este periodo, se dio una fuerte tradición local del trabajo, que fue independiente de influencias externas, aun cuando algunas reflejan rasgos foráneos (olmecas, mayas, cultura San Agustín).

El jade se utilizó principalmente en la región de Guanacaste y en la región Central del país (Vertiente del Atlántico y Valle Central), pero se encuentra también en forma aislada en la región de Díquis (valle del río Grande de Térraba, en el sureste del país).

Los artefactos de jade se encuentran frecuentemente como ofrendas funerarias, asociados a individuos con rango social y/o con presencia de elementos mítico-religiosos. También se ha encontrado información de que fueron utilizados con fines curativos. Se usaron como ornamento personal y luego se destinaron como parte del ajuar funerario de los individuos.

Solamente se conocen entre 8 y 10 fuentes de jadeíta en el mundo. Se ha planteado que el río Motagua en Guatemala fue la fuente primaria de jadeíta para Costa Rica, sin embargo, la fuerte presencia de jades en el país que no pueden asociarse a este río ha hecho postular la existencia de una fuente en Costa Rica en la península de Santa Elena, Guanacaste

Antecedentes: el jade precolombino mesoamericano

El término jade se utiliza para denominar a un conjunto de rocas de origen metamórfico, compuestas principalmente por minerales como la jadeíta o la nefrita, y que se caracterizan especialmente por su brillo, dureza, color y translucidez. Las sociedades precolombinas de América tallaron estas piedras con diseños y símbolos propios de sus creencias. El jade, junto con el oro, se han considerado las dos materias primas más valiosas de la arqueología americana.

El uso de piezas de jade entre las culturas precolombinas de Mesoamérica fue principalmente ornamental, aunque es posible que muchos de ellos hayan sido utilizados como objetos parafernarios en ritos ceremoniales (rituales de cacería, guerra o iniciación). Las sociedades precolombinas en general apreciaron los objetos elaborados en jade y otras piedras verdes como indicadores de poder. También se utilizaron como ofrendas funerarias y como seña de identificación entre distintos clanes. El contacto con las culturas de Mesoamérica y Suramérica, permitió el intercambio mutuo de técnicas especializadas para la manufactura del jade. En Mesoamérica, los olmecas y los mayas fueron expertos en tallar y pulir jades. Muchos de los objetos de jade de talla local, aunque difieren notablemente de las tallas olmecas y mayas, presentan patrones iconográficos propios de estas culturas mesoamericanas.

Se ha postulado que los olmecas fueron la primera cultura mesoamericana en trabajar el jade. Desde el 800 a.C., los olmecas se desplazaron desde La Venta, en el actual estado mexicano de Tabasco, hasta el estado de Guerrero por el norte, y por el sur viajaron hasta la península de Nicoya en Costa Rica, pasando por el río Motagua en Guatemala, buscando vetas de jadeíta. En la cultura olmeca, los colgantes de jade eran considerados representaciones de la mazorca de maíz, por lo que se consideraban sagrados y se usaron en ceremonias que recreaban el cosmos.

Los olmecas ejercieron gran influencia en las culturas vecinas del periodo preclásico medio de Mesoamérica, influencia que se ve reflejada en temas mítico-religiosos y políticos, así como en la escritura jeroglífica. Entre el año 500 a.C. y el 300 d.C., pueblos descendientes de los olmecas se desplazaron por Mesoamérica dejando indicios de escritura epiolmeca.

En el territorio de la actual Costa Rica, las exploraciones arqueológicas han encontrado gran cantidad de jades olmecas pertenecientes al periodo que va de 500 a.C. a 500 d. C. Muchos de estos objetos se han denominado "cucharas olmecas", debido a que poseen agujeros para ser usados como pectorales, de forma horizontal. Tales objetos han sido reportados en la subregión Guanacaste (actual provincia de Guanacaste) del área arqueológica de la Gran Nicoya, y en la región arqueológica Central (Valle Central y Vertiente Atlántica de Costa Rica). Es probable que la presencia de tantos artefactos olmecas hallados en territorio costarricense sean producto del intercambio entre las sociedades autóctonas y culturas intermediarias más que por el contacto directo entre los indígenas locales y los olmecas.

En Costa Rica también han sido encontrados gran cantidad de piezas de jade de origen maya, que refleja que este material fue utilizado para el trueque durante el auge de la talla del jade en el país (entre 500 a.C. a 700 d.C.). Los mayas utilizaron el jade como joya ornamental principalmente entre los altos dignatarios y sacerdotes, y también utilizaron las piedras de jade como moneda de intercambio.

Al igual que los olmecas, los mayas tuvieron una concepción del maíz como producto esencial para mantener el orden del cosmos. En los jades mayas hallados en Costa Rica es posible observar glifos cuyo significado está estrechamente relacionado con propósitos rituales. La conexión entre el jade y la mazorca de maíz establecida por los olmecas fue mantenida por los mayas del Preclásico y el Clásico. Los reyes mayas solían vestir placas de jade en su cinturón, estableciéndose ellos mismos como encarnación del dios del maíz, en el centro de la creación y el cosmos. Las placas de jade eran instrumentos que permitieron establecer el poder cósmico del rey, justificando a la vez su autoridad.

Los mexicas dieron al jade gran valor, considerándolo más valioso que el oro. En el idioma náhuatl, lo llamaron "chalchihuitl", esmeralda baja. Durante la época de la conquista de México-Tenochtitlan, el jade atrajo la atención de los conquistadores españoles, quienes además atribuyeron a esta piedra propiedades curativas eficaces para las dolencias de los riñones, por lo que conocían al jade como piedra del ijar. Bernal Díaz del Castillo recoge un pasaje acerca de un obsequio enviado por Moctezuma II a Carlos V de España que incluía los chalchihuitles, en la que refiere que cada piedra valía más que dos cargas de oro (cada carga equivalía a tres quintales del metal).

En general, las culturas mesoamericanas asociaron el jade a elementos naturales como las simientes, el agua de los ríos, el mar y la lluvia, la mazorca de maíz, atribuyéndole cualidades mágico-religiosas.

Arqueología del jade de Costa Rica

Cronología

Se han distinguido tres periodos en el trabajo del jade en Costa Rica:

 Periodo inicial: 500 a.C. a 300 d.C.
 Periodo de apogeo: 300 a 700 d.C.
 Periodo de decadencia: 700 a 900 d.C.

El periodo de apogeo de las tallas de jade locales coincide en parte con la época en que se da la transición entre la cultura olmeca y la cultura maya, al final del Preclásico. De esta época provienen la mayoría de las piezas de jade verdadero elaborado con jadeíta. Cerca del 700 d.C., después de una época de auge de varios siglos, la jadeíta comienza a decaer y es cuando se realizan los trabajos con otras materias primas como serpentina o calcedonia. Después de 800 d.C. se produce una decadencia en la lapidaria de jade, que coincide con el auge de la metalurgia del oro.

Regiones arqueológicas

En el actual territorio de Costa Rica se han establecido tres regiones arqueológicas, basándose en criterios geográficos y culturales.

Gran Nicoya

Ocupa el litoral pacífico de Nicaragua y el Pacífico norte de Costa Rica. El sector costarricense se conoce como subregión sur o Guanacaste. Se corresponde actualmente con la provincia de Guanacaste y la parte norte de la provincia de Puntarenas. Esta región se caracterizó por la cultura de Nicoya, de fuerte influencia mesoamericana, y es de donde provienen gran cantidad de los jades de Costa Rica, especialmente los dioses-hacha y los pendientes en forma de ave.

Región Arqueológica Central

Esta se encuentra en la parte central del país, corresponde al Valle Central, el Pacífico central y la Vertiente Atlántica del país. Se le divide en dos subregiones: Central-Pacífica y subregión Atlántica (Valle de Turrialba, llanuras del Atlántico central y llanuras del norte). Gran cantidad de jades han sido recuperados sobre todo de la subregión Atlántica.

Gran Chiriquí

Abarca el Pacífico sur de Costa Rica y gran parte de Panamá. El sector costarricense se conoce como subregión Díquis. Es poco el jade recuperado de esta región, más reconocida por la presencia de gran cantidad de piezas de oro.

Fuentes del jade de Costa Rica

El territorio de Costa Rica es de edad geológica reciente (alrededor de 25 millones de años). Debido a esto, no ha sido posible encontrar fuentes de jadeíta, considerada el jade verdadero. Aun así, además de la jadeíta, se han identificado cerca de diez tipos distintos de rocas que se utilizaron para elaborar las piezas de jade, entre ellas el jaspe, la lutita, la nefrita, el cuarzo, el ópalo, la serpentina y la calcedonia. Los estudios arqueológicos y petrológicos han determinado que, al menos en Guanacaste, el sitio donde más se han encontrado piezas de jade, la materia prima para su elaboración se obtuvo como guijarros en el curso de algunos ríos y playas, o bien, como bloques en algunos lugares donde este material se encontraba depositado, como la península de Santa Elena, donde hay fuentes de nefrita y, se ha teorizado, también fuentes de jadeíta que en algún momento se agotaron. En el caso particular de la jadeíta, es más probable que esta haya sido introducida desde áreas foráneas, principalmente desde el valle del río Motagua en Guatemala.

Tecnología del jade

Los artesanos precolombinos que tallaron y pulieron rocas y minerales, se convirtieron en especialistas, al asimilar los conocimientos heredados sobre la técnica, y llegar a dominar los cortes y el pulido de los jades y otras piedras verdes, integrando elementos de dibujo, diseño, composición y simetría para representar el mundo espiritual de su pueblo en forma tridimensional.

Los lapidarios locales posiblemente utilizaron técnicas similares a las mesoamericanas. La materia prima utilizada eran rocas duras, de grano fino, susceptible de ser pulida y dar brillo, con bajo índice de fragilidad. Los objetos de jade se elaboraban de un bloque de jadeíta o de otros materiales como serpentina, nefrita o cuarzos. Los bloques de jade seleccionados se cortaban mediante la técnica de aserramiento, utilizando para ello un arco de madera con un cordel, o bien, usando fibras vegetales o cueros impregnados con arenas abrasivas de cuarzo o volcánicas que por fricción producían un corte en la roca.

En general, las piezas escogidas eran sometidas a un fuerte desgaste utilizando piedras grandes, planas y ricas en sílice, usando el agua de los ríos como agente abrasivo, para darle forma de hacha. Luego, las piezas se resquebrajaban por su diámetro mayor para formar dos piezas en forma de trapecio.

Para la decoración de la pieza, se utilizaron cuatro técnicas:

 Acción abrasiva con piedras y agua.

 Raspado o esgrafiado, en el cual se realizaban incisiones.

 Calado (acanalado).

 Pulido.

Sobre la pieza obtenida se realizaba el pulido y acabado mediante la aplicación de arenas abrasivas silicosas (piedra pómez), o bien, fibras vegetales como las hojas de Crecencia jugata, fibras de henequén y cuero de venado. Finalmente se utilizaba cera de abejas para lograr un brillo uniforme.

Tipos de tallas
Las talla de jade de Costa Rica difieren notablemente de los jades olmecas y mayas, aunque presentan algunos rasgos iconográficos de estas culturas mesoamericanas. Uno de estos aspectos es la división en dos mitades de las piezas de jade. A estas figuras se les conoce como "herencias", pues una de las mitades era depositada en las tumbas como ofrenda funeraria, y la otra mitad era conservada por los deudos.

Estructura de las piezas

En general, la gran mayoría de las piezas de jade encontradas en Costa Rica presentan como estructura la figura humana, en la cual pueden reconocerse la cabeza, la cara, los ojos, la boca, la lengua, las extremidades superiores y el tronco, este último a veces convertido en extremidades inferiores o en la cola de un ave:

 la cabeza: esta presenta una parte craneal lisa, generalmente decorada con una hendidura central en forma de V. Esta hendidura podía adornarse con un par de apéndices (cabezas de lagartos, aves de pico largo), pero siempre conservando la V central. Algunas decoraciones del cráneo pueden incluir incisiones en forma de X y una banda en la parte inferior. En piezas más complejas, el cráneo puede convertirse en un cuerpo cónico truncado que semeja un gorro o birrete, con distintas decoraciones como cordones paralelos, cordones lisos o líneas incisas. El tocado también puede semejar una cresta de plumas. La figura puede llevar un cubreorejas a los lados de la parte que representa el cráneo, con una pequeña perforación en el centro para que funcione como colgante. Sin embargo, lo más frecuente es que la suspensión se logre mediante la perforación de un agujero a la altura del cuello de la pieza. La suspensión se realizaba en esta zona porque tiene la ventaja de ser la parte más angosta de la figura. Las perforaciones para la suspensión son dos conductos cónicos que se juntan en la parte central de la pieza.

 la cara: el rasgo más sobresaliente del patrón normativo para la cara es la presencia de un triángulo facial. Los artistas trazaban un triángulo isósceles sobre la pieza, con su lado menor en la parte inferior, limitando la boca trazada en forma de rectángulo y los ojos en la parte superior, logrando de esta manera representar una cara humana. Sin embargo, en algunas ocasiones, el artífice invertía el triángulo facial, dejando un ángulo hacia la parte inferior, transformando la cara en una cabeza de ave.

 los ojos: pueden estar representados mediante líneas simples talladas por desgaste, o por horadaciones circulares que se realizaban mediante cañas delgadas (que dejan en el fondo un ligero levantamiento) o rodillos de madera (que le dan al ojo forma cóncava). Es frecuente encontrarlos colocados dentro de un canal donde se colocan ambos ojos, o cada uno en un canal independiente. Dicho canal se tallaba previamente al lado de la nariz. También podían tallarse marcos alrededor de los ojos.

 la boca: es uno de los elementos más significativos de las piezas de jade. Representada por una línea simple, por dos o tres líneas o por un rectángulo, a veces dividido como indicación de labios. Se le podían añadir líneas que simularan dientes. La boca también podía ser parte del triángulo de la nariz. Un elemento distintivo de los jades olmecas fue la boca en arco ("boca olmeca"). También puede hallarse representada la lengua, en forma de cintas que se proyectan hacia abajo y terminan en el pecho de la figura, y con dos espirales hacia abajo para reproducir la lengua bífida característica de las serpientes, la cual presenta a su vez líneas incisivas que hacen las veces de escamas, simulando la decoración de la piel de estos ofidios.

 el tronco: constituye la parte inferior de la pieza. En algunas piezas, aparecen los miembros superiores o las alas en forma de triángulos marginales o arcos verticales. En las piezas que recuerdan aves, el tronco puede aparecer rayado para representar plumas. A veces también son representados los pies hacia abajo. Es frecuente que las figuras tengan los miembros superiores cruzándose sobre el abdomen en actitud ritual. En una figura se describió la presencia de senos. Algunas figuras son tan detalladas que pueden observarse dedos en manos y pies. En los ejemplares con lengua larga que se proyecta sobre el abdomen, las manos pueden cruzarse acercándose hacia ella. En las piezas que presentan las cuatro extremidades, estas pueden observarse flexionadas sobre el abdomen, a veces con líneas desordenadas, mientras que en otras de forma más armoniosa.

 la cola: es el elemento más constante de los jades guanacastecos. En la mayoría tiene forma de hacha curva, aunque también los hay casi rectos. En las representaciones humanas, una hendidura central puede darles la forma de extremidades inferiores. En las representaciones de aves, pueden tener detalles para insinuar plumas o alas. En algunas piezas, la cola puede tener forma de punzón. En otras piezas, la cola puede presentar forma invertida, con el lado agudo hacia abajo.

Osteoporosis is a disease where the bones become brittle, porous, and fragile and break easily. Any bone can break with osteoporosis, but breaks most often occur in the hips, wrists and spine (vertebrae).
Osteoporosis comes from a lack of bone mass or a structural deterioration of the bone. Most of a person's total bone mass is acquired by the time they reach their late teens (around 85%). Acquiring bone mass early in life is important in reducing the risk of osteoporosis. To prevent or manage the disease a person should start early by getting the recommended amounts of vitamin D and calcium and bone strengthening exercise. Muscle strengthening exercises also strengthen the bones. Smoking and excessive drinking and a poor diet (early on and later in life) can increase the risk of osteoporosis.
Osteoporosis is thought of to be a disease for the elderly, but it can happen to anyone. It occurs more often in people over 50 and women are much more at risk than men. After menopause, risk of osteoporosis increases, as bone mass is decreased by up to 20%. Of all of the Americans with the disease, 80% are women. It affects Americans of all ethnicities, though more often the Caucasian, Asian, and Hispanic/Latino population. Other risk factors include people with a poor diet low in vitamins and minerals, people with a history of osteoporosis (family history), broken bones, anorexia, and people with low estrogen or testosterone. Smoking and excessive drinking also increase a person's risk.
As the bones get weaker and more brittle, they fracture more easily. As there is no external way to see if you have osteoporosis, most people don't know they have it unless they start experiencing pain or break a bone. Fractures in the spine can occur without pain, but sometimes people start stooping or even start losing height. Weak bones will easily break from a fall or other trauma, but brittle bones can also break from something as seemingly innocuous as a sneeze.
A patient's health care provider might not know of the person's osteoporosis until a break or other symptom occurs. However, special tests can be run at any time to gauge a person's bone mass. Bone Mineral Density tests or BMD, measures bone density. If the tests are taken over time, a person can see if their bone mass is decreasing.
There is no known cure for osteoporosis, but there are several approved medications to treat the disease. Keeping bones strong and maintaining bone density is key in keeping risk low.

Egypt's president, Mohamed Morsi, was deposed one year after being democratically elected by the Egyptian people. For those opposed to Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood (MB), the move by the military is seen as supporting a popular uprising and a belated effort to revive or restore the Egyptian revolution that ousted Hosni Mubarak more than two years ago. But for Morsi's supporters or those who simply had any respect for democratic governance and the rule of law, the action by the army is nothing short of a brazen though soft military coup d'etat.
The military in Egypt has always enjoyed a privileged and autonomous status and is tacitly considered the power behind the throne. For decades, political power was concentrated in the hands of an elite yet mostly corrupt political and business class that monopolized power and looted the country's resources. But the revolution that toppled Mubarak was in essence a rejection not just against the dictator, but also his entire corrupt regime. One of the major demands of the revolution was to get rid of dictatorship and repression and uphold the principles of democracy and the rule of law.
Over the next two years, the political process that followed Mubarak's overthrow allowed for the will of the Egyptian people to be expressed numerous times through free and fair elections and referenda. The people in Egypt went to the polls at least six times: to vote for a referendum to chart the political way forward (March 2011), to vote for the lower and upper house of parliament (November 2011-January 2012), to elect a civilian president over two rounds (May-June 2012), and to ratify the new constitution (December 2012). Each time the electorate voted for the choice of the Islamist parties to the frustration of the secular and liberal opposition.
To the discontent of the Islamists, all their gains at the polls were reversed by either the Mubarak-appointed Supreme Constitutional Court (SCC) or the military. The lower house of parliament, of which the Islamists won 73 percent of the seats, was dissolved by the SCC a year ago, and the military has just suspended the new constitution, while ousting the democratically-elected president.
In addition, Morsi and the MB did not adhere to their promise of full partnership in governance. Many of the youth and opposition groups felt that the president and MB leadership were not genuine in their outreach and only sought their participation for cosmetic reasons. Even their Islamic partners such as the Salafist Al-Noor Party complained that the MB wanted to monopolize the major power centers in the state. It did not matter that the MB did not control the military, the intelligence, the security apparatus, the police, the diplomatic corps, the banking system, or even the bureaucracy. But because of the MB's lack of transparency and openness, the perception was that they were trying to control the major centers of powers in the state and exclude other parties based on ideology while the reality was that such control was non-existent or superficial.
But to the average people on the street what mattered was their security and livelihood. During his one year in power, Morsi faced enormous challenges: deterioration in security and basic services, lack of social justice, and economic decline. It appeared to many as deliberate attempts by the deep state (entrenched elements and bureaucrats loyal to the former regime) to ensure the failure of his presidency. His lack of transparency and openness to his people in favor of presenting an optimistic or upbeat outlook added to public cynicism and the perception of incompetence. Another major mistake by the MB was its failure to separate its socio-religious movement from its political manifestation, the Freedom and Justice Party (FJP). While the public in past times respected the MB for its social services and religious outreach, engaging in politics by its nature is a source of division and rancor. For example when the MB fielded its presidential candidate in March 2012, it was MB's Guidance Bureau that made the declaration instead of the FJP. In the eyes of the public there was little distinction between the MB and the FJP. So the MB was, correctly or not, held responsible for any political missteps by the FJP.
In part because the 2011 revolutionary partners were sharply divided on ideological grounds, former regime loyalists, politicians, and corrupt businessmen were able to regroup and play an increasing role in the political battles that engulfed the country. Mubarak's National Democratic Party (NDP), which dominated political life for decades, was the only party in the country capable of organizing nationwide and competing with the MB. But since the public rejected the NDP (and it was banned shortly after Mubarak was deposed), it did not participate in the parliamentary elections in the fall of 2011. However, by June 2012, Ahmad Shafiq, Mubarak's last Prime Minster, represented the NDP's interests. As one of the two remaining candidates in the second round of the presidential elections, he ultimately lost by less than two percent.
Morsi took over power by June 30, 2012. When he was not as inclusive as promised in his senior appointments, the opposition almost immediately turned against him. Two months after he was sworn in, they called for a massive protest on August 24, calling it "The protest to oust the rule of the Brotherhood." Their hostility and acrimony increased as the writing of the new constitution was finalized. Meanwhile, the new political openness and freedom in the country allowed for the private media, owned and controlled by many of the former regime's loyalists and supporters, to target Morsi and the MB in an orchestrated campaign to alienate and inflame the public.
During the process, the secular opposition and the fulool embraced Tamarrud's message, while the latter used the offices of the NSF and held several press conferences at the headquarters of well-known media outlets of Mubarak loyalists. There is also anecdotal evidence that the group received financial support from fulool groups.
