Italian Proverb of the Day: “Don’t sell the bear’s skin before killing it” warns against assuming success before an outcome has been secured. Using the image of a hunter and an unattained reward, the proverb encourages patience, caution and realistic planning. Its message closely parallels the English proverb “Don’t count your chickens before they hatch,” reminding people that expected results are not guaranteed.

After French Riots, Curfews & Calm .. is a new Storm Brewing ? Plus Ukraine & Israel

It's been a week that’s seen mass protests hijacked by violent rioters across France. The looting of shops, trashing of public buildings, the burning of Lyon’s Tourist Information and the iconic Limoges City Hall. After the riots, came the curfews, and the contemplation, who did what and why weren’t they stopped. Seditious groups, ultra left anarchists and opportunist criminals said President Macron, with a qualified mea culpa: failures in anticipation and authorities dropped the ball in intelligence gathering. Macron is out of breath, exhausted and disorientated claimed the Presidential Frontrunner Marine Le Pen, the far right leader now polling in an even stronger position for the Presidency. Foreign leaders had a free for all too, President Trump wading in and Israel’s prime minister settled old scores ahead of elections there.
