Biology is the study of life and all its remarkable forms and processes. Drake University's biology program uses an inquiry-based and integrated approach throughout the curriculum. This modern approach engages students in scientific methods and research from the first year of study, giving students a jump-start on developing skills in research, critical thinking, scientific communication, and data analysis.
Coursework toward a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science in Biology exposes students to microscopic cells, complex ecosystems, and everything in between (and beyond). Drake's biology curriculum is designed to provide students with a strong foundation of biological understanding in four core subject areas. Students also can delve more deeply into disciplines of their choosing in preparation for graduate and professional programs, careers in the health sciences, or other areas in the biological sciences. We are committed to supporting all Drake students in their pursuit to better understand life on earth and build a roadway to success in their own lives after Drake.
The department's diverse and dedicated faculty provide students access to more than 50 different courses, covering biological content from molecules to ecosystems, examining microbes, invertebrates, vertebrates or plants, and covering an array of topics from ethnobotany to kinesiology, histology to animal behavior, and nature photography to experimental design and data analysis. Drake's affiliations with Iowa Lakeside Laboratory and the Gulf Coast Research Laboratory in Mississippi provides opportunities for Drake students to earn credit towards a Biology degree while taking specialized courses such as soil genesis, watershed hydrology, prairie ecology, marine biology and ecology, marine mammals and ichthyology, coastal herpetology and oceanography.
Students who earn a B.A. degree in biology and who meet the entrance requirements may apply to schools of medicine, dentistry, optometry, podiatry, chiropractic medicine, veterinary medicine, physical therapy, or other health related programs. Further opportunities include advanced study in graduate school or career positions with industry, government or private agencies in biologically related fields such as biotechnology, conservation biology and resource management, food science agriculture, environmental education and forensic science.
The B.A. in Biology requires a minimum of 34 credit hours in biology which includes courses as outlined below, chemistry, physics and math courses outlined below, an average GPA of 2.0 or higher in biology courses, and at least 6 biology courses having laboratory experiences (courses with "L" designations).
Coursework representing a dedicated experiential component to biological study or its application to society. A minimum of 2 credits required, a maximum of 4 credits can be applied to the total requirement of 34. Coursework indicated by an (*) is subject to approval by the Chair of Biology.
First-year students who plan to major in biology are encouraged to enroll in BIO 015 - Introduction to Biology during the fall semester of their first year. BIO 015 informs students about the Biology program and the career opportunitiesin biology; it does not contribute to the 34 required credit hours. Students have the responsibility to develop their program of study and review it with their faculty advisor in biology.
Students who earn a B.S. degree in biology and who meet the entrance requirements may apply to schools of medicine, dentistry, optometry, podiatry, chiropractic medicine, veterinary medicine, physical therapy, or other health related programs. Further opportunities include advanced study in graduate school or career positions with industry, government or private agencies in biologically related fields such as biotechnology, conservation biology and resource management, food science and agriculture, environmental education, and forensic science.
The B.S. in Biology requires a minimum of 34 credit hours in biology which includes courses as outlined below, chemistry, physics, and math courses outlined below, an average GPA of 2.0 or higher in biology courses, at least 6 biology courses having laboratory experiences (courses with "L" designations).
A minor in biology is designed to provide students with a broad background in biology while allowing them the flexibility to explore courses of interest.
Credit/no-credit courses may not be used for the minor.
The program for the biology minor must be approved by the chair of the Biology department.

Q: How to use Two-way data binding in android (kotlin) I need to enable my Button after check some condition, i want to call one method using @InverseBinding OR Two Way data binding and reflect the changes with return value.
my Code :
<Button
      android:id="@+id/save_btn_disabled_3"
      android:enabled="@={controller}"
      ....
      />

my Two Way data binding logic here :
@InverseBindingAdapter(attribute = "enable")
    fun getEnableButton(view:View, controller:Controller): Boolean {
    //some conditions
        return false
    }

i want to know am i going in correct direction ?, code is ok ?
please suggest me.

A: First Add Button Status Object
<variable
            name="button"
            type="com.brl.test.app.vm.ButtonStatus" />

<Button
      android:id="@+id/save_btn_disabled_3"
      bind:state_change="@{button.state}"
      ....
      />

Set your logic in buttonEnabled funtion then Enable Your Button
@BindingAdapter({"bind:state_change"})
  public static void buttonEnabled(TextView view, State state) {

    view.setEnabled(true);
  }

A: You can set one variable in  field like:
<variable
    name="wantsToVisibleProgress"
    type="boolean" />

and set it in your button like this:
<Button
    android:id="@+id/constraint_select_main"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:background="@drawable/bg_button_blue_big"
    android:enabled="@={wantsToVisibleProgress}"
    android:gravity="center"
    android:onClick="@{v -> fragment.onClick()}"
    app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/txt_evse_one">

You can set that value like this:
binding.setWantsToVisibleProgress(true);

I also think that those who use Paul's "I don't allow a woman to teach…" also forget his other words that, I believe, cover exactly what you say about not having the education that men of his era had. In my opinion, it wasn't a permanent injunction, but one that was to ensure that anyone teaching/preaching had solid knowledge of what their faith for, dare I say, uniformity's sake.
Yes, if I have learned one thing in this series, it is that the Bible is a many-voiced library, not a one-voiced book. Taken alone, many verses in the Bible can be downright dangerous. But given the scope and overall narrative of scripture (hinging on Jesus, not Paul, lol), the distinctive voices work together to help us navigate and discuss how best to love God and neighbor in our time, just as they tried to do in theirs.
As a woman, I've definitely always wondered about the seeming dissonance in the idea that humankind (too often in this context called "mankind") is made in God's image, and yet all pronouns are masculine. It's really easy to get caught up in language rather than content, but your recent series is really getting me in the right mindset to understand the importance of the intention of the words rather than their connotation in my middle class American English in 2013. It's helped make sense of a lot of things.
I wouldn't consider myself a traditional feminist, but sometimes it's hard not to feel second-class. The imagery of both (or as both as they can be) God/Jesus comparing themselves to females is quite comforting.
I think there is a lot of wisdom in those words, Steph. The pronouns are, on one hand, simply what the linguistics of the culture had to work with, and yet on the other hand, they do communicate unintended things about God and humanity when used for those purposes. That is one of the really good things about realizing the limits of words. They are finite representations of (in God's case) infinite things. So, in effect, all words are lies, in that they are symbolic rather than factual, and symbols are not the thing they represent. Yet, words are lovely, valuable, if flawed things. So we lie, in order to get at the truth of God, realizing that our words are not adequate, yet unable to do otherwise.

Canadian Securities Commissions Consider First Tactical Private Placement Under Canada's New Take-Over Bid Regime
Since Canada's new harmonized take-over bid regime (New Bid Regime) came into effect earlier this year, there's been a lot of talk about whether tactical private placements will become the new poison pills. For more information on the New Bid Regime see our previous article, Canada's New Take-Over Bid Rules Seek to Level the Playing Field.
A "tactical private placement" occurs when a target company issues securities to a friendly party in response to an unsolicited take-over bid in order to make it more difficult and/or more expensive for the hostile bidder to complete a take-over of the target company. This outcome is particularly important to target companies under the New Bid Regime for two key reasons. First, as a consequence of the New Bid Regime, shareholders rights plans are largely irrelevant in deterring hostile bids because such offers must remain open for at least 105 days (rather than 35 days under the old rules). Second, the New Bid Regime contains a mandatory condition that a minimum of more than 50% of all outstanding target securities owned or held by persons other than the bidder and its joint actors be tendered and not withdrawn before the bidder can take up any securities under the take-over bid.
While the Canadian securities regulators had considered the use of private placements several times in the context of a take-over bid, regulators had not, until the Dolly Varden hearing, had the opportunity to respond to a claim by a bidder operating under the New Bid Regime that a target company had used a private placement as an inappropriate defensive tactic.[1]
On June 27 Idaho-based Hecla Mining Co. announced its intention to acquire an additional 50% of the shares of Dolly Varden Silver Corp., with the formal offer being launched on July 8. A few days later, Dolly Varden communicated to its shareholders that they should take no action with respect to the hostile bid, and that Dolly Varden would be proceeding with a private placement it had previously announced on July 5. According to Dolly Varden, the proceeds of the private placement are to be used to pay off debt and for working capital purposes.
On July 8, Hecla filed an application with the British Columbia Securities Commission (BCSC) seeking a permanent order cease trading the private placement and any securities issued, in connection with the private placement, or in the alternative, an order cease trading the private placement unless and until Dolly Varden obtains shareholder approval of the private placement. On July 11, Hecla filed an application with the Ontario Securities Commission (OSC) seeking substantially the same relief.
About a week after Hecla's application to the BCSC, Dolly Varden signed an undertaking to the BCSC that it would not conduct a distribution of any securities, under the private placement or otherwise, until the BCSC rendered its decision in the application. This undertaking was presumably intended to preserve the remedies available to the securities commissions if they were to decide in favour of Hecla.
Earlier today, the OSC and the BCSC released their decisions dismissing Hecla's application, thus allowing Dolly Varden to proceed with the private placement.
We will provide a further update once the commissions release the reasons for their decisions in the Dolly Varden dispute. The reasons will likely provide capital markets participants with important guidance on the future use of private placements as a defensive tactic under the New Bid Regime.
[1] Before the New Bid Regime, Canadian regulators have considered allegations that the issuance of securities in the context of an ongoing take-over bid was an improper defensive tactic. For instance, see AbitibiBowater inc. (Produits forestiers Résolu) c. Fibrek inc., 2012 QCBDR 17 aff'd 2012 QCCA 569; ARC Equity Management (Fund 4) Ltd. (Re), 2009 LNABASC 315; Inmet Mining Corporation (Re), 2012 BCSECCOM. 409 and Re Red Eagle, 2015 BCSECCOM 401.

Goodwin Realty :: How to jump to the head of the Rental queue!
How to jump to the head of the Rental queue!
January is a busy month for home rentals – people are moving, starting new jobs or heading back to university and the competition for rental accommodation is fierce.
But there are ways to improve your chances of being the chosen tenant.
Here are the top tips we've uncovered.
Make sure the property is what you want, where you want, and in your price range. Do a Google map search of the house and the neighbourhood – there may be things that don't appeal and there's no point wasting your time and everybody else's.
Book an appointment to view the property as soon as you can, as it may be rented before the published viewing times. A one-on-one meeting with an agent or landlord also gives you a chance to make a good impression. And it goes without saying that you need to be on time. If you get held up, let the contact know.
You will need to put together a solid application to be in with the best shot of securing the tenancy. Barfoot & Thompson recommends adding a personal touch and going "above and beyond when it comes to details". The company says as well as providing references, employment details and previous rental history, you could consider a covering letter and a photograph. Sending a separate email to the listing agent or landlord will help to single you out.
"Make this as personal or as quirky as you like. It may just set you apart from the crowd.
"A rental property is a big asset. Landlords want to make sure you are the kind of person who will look after it. Things like spelling, handwriting, how you present yourself and not spilling your breakfast all over the form, do count when it comes to being considered."
Barfoots also recommend you are specific about the length of time you intend to stay in the property. It's also a good idea to write the ages of any children on the application form, and it wouldn't hurt to include photos of the children.
Provide all the details you can about any pets you may have. No two pets are the same and it's best to be completely upfront about your pet's behaviour and whether it lives indoors or out. Again, photos are invaluable.
Referees are everything. Ideally, you will have a reference from a previous landlord and an employer. Other options include a person of good standing who is not related to you, such as a teacher, minister or another real estate agent you may have dealt with. Make sure referees know they may be called – and they will be contacted if you make the shortlist.
Rental Results in Wellington says credit checks are part of the process, just like referee calls. The firm recommends you let the listing agent know if you withdraw your application. "We don't want to needlessly contact your referees and waste their time. If you withdraw your application after we have conducted a credit check we may pass that cost onto you."
Being polite and considerate, even if you decide you don't want the property, will help you in the longrun. You may need to deal with the same listing agent in the near future.


The largest off-price supplier in the country is having a 78-90% off designer label sale on April 27!

ABOUT CLAY
Clay Wagner, businessman and lifelong Republican, was raised on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. After graduating from Mississippi State University, he soon returned home and started a long and successful career at Hancock Whitney Bank.
Now a husband, father, grandfather, and retired Senior Vice President, Clay is ready to help South Mississippi create more occupational opportunities, protect conservative freedoms, and listen to individuals of the Fourth Congressional District. Wagner's four decades of business experience create a track record of success that shows the difference he can make in serving the people of south Mississippi.
Clay Wagner has spent his free time in public service. He has served as the Gulf Coast Chamber Foundation Chair, United Way of South Mississippi Board member, Chairman of the Hancock County Chamber Board, and member of the Red Cross Board. His passion for the outdoors is shown through his service as a Commissioner of the Mississippi Wildlife Fisheries and Parks and memberships of the Nature Conservancy Board, National Oceans and Applied Research Center Board, and the National Rifle Association.
Clay Wagner never had intentions of running for public office. Over time, a frustration that capable leaders were not stepping up to lead and a desire to see Mississippi change for the better started a fire in Clay to make a difference. With the encouragement and prayers from family and friends, as well as peers in the business community, Wagner knew the best thing he could do for Mississippi was run for Congress.

REASEHEATH College has been awarded a £4.7 million grant to expand its services to help businesses in the recession.
The major award, from the North West Development Agency, will enable the Nantwich college to create a centre for specialist business expertise which will aim to encourage enterprise, jobs and wealth in South Cheshire.
An 'Enterprise Delivery Hub' will allow the college to respond to increased demand for specialist help for the agricultural and food production industries.
Around £2 million will be used to refurbish the college's licensed food and drink processing halls and provide state-of-the-art product development facilities for food manufacturers. Starter incubation units will also be built for new food producers.
It is expected that the scheme will help drive forward rural regeneration by encouraging more businesses to grow and diversify.
The funding will also support two new posts for experts in knowledge and technology transfer.
Margaret Bardsley, Reaseheath's director of business and marketing, said: "The NWDA has recognised our ability to deliver this integrated skills, enterprise and innovation service, particularly during this difficult and challenging recession.
Principal Meredydd David said: "This investment will provide significant specialist and technical expertise and a wonderful cutting edge facility to support industries in the North West during this very difficult and challenging recession.

Forgotten Classic: Gary Busey, Mr. T. & Casual Racism
Vince ManciniFacebookTwitterSenior Film & Culture Writer
Today's Forgotten Classic is 1983's DC Cab, a film starring a murderer's row of randomness that included Gary Busey, Mr. T., and Bill Maher. It was a little before my time, but while I was writing, this, I noticed Drew had mentioned it in his latest Balls Deep column for Deadspin, so perhaps it's not as forgotten as the title of this feature might indicate. In any case, it's about a team of wacky cabbies who have to rescue one of their colleagues who's been kidnapped. It's basically the 1983 equivalent of Soul Plane, in both tacky badness and casual racism. Here's the rundown of highlights from reader Matthew, who sent this in. Oh, also, he titled the banner image "Gary Busey Attempting to Faith Heal a Headache So He Can Copulate with the Afflicted," so there's that.
Gary Busey saying "You know the only thing wrong with oral sex? The view!"
Gary Busey saying "Did you know that DC is 75% nig?"
Gary Busey saying "Nobody ever goes in the army anymore except blacks. Someday one n*gger's going to wake up and say 'we got the guns and the mustard gas and the tanks – we runnin' the army!' And they're going to take over the whole country."
Gary Busey running into a gentleman's club and stealing money from a stripper's panties.
Mr. T working his cab shifts wearing a weightlifting belt.
Gary Busey saying "You know I can suck the white right off your teeth."
Bill Maher playing synthesizer while waxing philosophic.
Gary Busey saying "If I'd wanted responsibility I'd have been a damn sex surrogate."
Mr. T pimping out his cab with various gold accoutrements.
Mr. T making an impassioned speech on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in yellow sweatpants.
Gary Busey saying "Why are women so uptight? They've got half the money and all the pussy."
As you may have noticed, casual racism in 1983 was pretty intense by modern standards. I'm assuming this film was written and directed by a black man, or else they'd never have gotten away with being so free with the N-Bomb– (*checks IMDB*) JOEL SCHUMACHER!? That's right, this film was co-written and directed by the man who would later go on to put nipples on the Batman suit. In retrospect, perhaps we should've seen it coming.
At 1:07 of this one, you can hear Charlie Barnett declare, "I don't want to go to n*gger heaven!"
Gary Busey's famous "I don't work on the King's birthday" speech.

ABC's New Shows are Looking Flabby
By Seth Freilich | Trailers | May 20, 2009 |
In a second, we're going to look at a lot of video, trailers and clips, for almost all of the new ABC shows, which I told you about yesterday (the only thing I got nuthin' for is "Eastwick"). But first, let me address an oft-repeated complaint from some of you fine readers. We often post videos on Pajiba. Many times, these videos are not viewable outside of the U.S. For example, yesterday I posted some Fox trailers. I didn't create the videos. Pajiba doesn't host the videos. We have no control over the platform. So if they don't play in Canada or Australia or wherever you be, don't blame us. Blame Fox. Blame Hulu. Blame yourself for not living in the States. Blame the world governments for not putting together a comprehensive, global copyright protection scheme that would offer the protections to allow for free worldwide distribution of streaming video. But don't fucking blame us.
Where possible, I generally try to put up a YouTube video, both because they generally do play internationally, and because they give a cleaner interface than a lot of other embedded video (for instance, I hate the ABC interface). But a lot of this stuff just isn't on YouTube, or comes down right-quickly because of copyright cease and desist/DMCA claims. So I gotta post what I've got. Should I not feed some of the homeless because I can't feed all of the homeless? Of course not.
I have no idea if the ABC trailers will play outside the States. And I'm pretty sure the Macromedia clips won't. If they don't, tough noogies. Although truth be told, those who don't watch these videos are probably the real winners at life this morning.
(Warning — the ABC trailers played rather loud on my computer, while the Macromedia clips were substantially quieter, so be ready to do some volume juggling if you're going to suffer through these.)
Cougar Town. Hmmm. I didn't laugh once during a 3+ minute clip. Not a good sign for a comedy, huh? Courteney Cox really doesn't work for me here, at all. But I'll still give it a try because, as I said yesterday, it's also got Busy Philipps and Christa Miller, and comes from Bill Lawrence.
I can't wait for all the commercials with the loud cougar noises. Can't. Wait.
Oh, hey. Here's an extra clip from the show. Will this make it look good?
Hank. Welcome back to comedy, Kelsey Grammer. Although I use the term "comedy" ever-so-fucking loosely.
There's a clip from "Hank," too, but I'm not going to suffer you with it.
The Middle. Patricia Heaton's not really doing it for me in this clip. Neil Flynn, however, is tits. Unfortunately, there's a lot of Heaton and not a lot of Flynn. We wants our Janitor!
Here are two clips for the show, which don't make it look any more promising. Again, I love Flynn, but otherwise, I'm not sure how this show plans to sell itself as a comedy.
The Deep End. This is the one about newby LA lawyers. Wasn't interested before the clip. Ain't interested after the clip (it starts off looking bad and then in the last minute it looks fucking awful).
Yes, that was Billy Zane (although, technically, I believe he's now known as reincarnated Zombie Zane).
Flash Forward. Nothing really to go on in this 30-second clip. But early word is good, as I've got a slightly-inside source who I trust who also has very positive things to say about this, so I'm willing to give 'er a shot.
Although this clip of a rather dull, expository moment doesn't really do much of anything for me.
Ooooh … now I get the show's title!
Happy Town. This is that murder-mystery-in-a-cozy-little-Minnesota-town show. The town is "almost too perfect." The show doesn't look like it'll have that problem (even though it does have M.C. Gainey, Tom from "Lost").
Really? You want to compare yourself to "Twin Peaks?" You might want to think twice about that. Especially because this clip doesn't make the show look any better. It makes it look a bit darker, yes. But that last line of the clip? Funnier than anything in the comedy clips ABC has presented us with.
Modern Family. These are clips, not trailers. Presumably, the network picks good clips to showcase. That doesn't bode well.
The Shark Tank. This is the new Burnett show which our friendly foreign readers (yeah, those same ones I just bitched at) pointed out is based on the British "Dragon's Den." Burnett hits more often than he fails with his reality shows, at least for a season or two, and as far as these things go, this looks watchable enough.
The Forgotten. As of late, late last night, ABC hadn't posted the trailer for this yet. So all we've got is a clip. No bueno. (This is the show about the amateur detectives who form the Idenitty Network to help solve John & Jane Doe murders.)
V. I really want a trailer for this show, damn it, but it's another one that ABC didn't put up last night. Grumble. Not much to take away from these clips (no Alan Tudyk in them, damn it!), although I think Baccarin's going to work as the alien leader (although I really wish they'd kept her name as Dianna — don't know why, but the change to Anna is really under my skin).
You know, I thought Scott Wolf was ok on "The Nine." But he's not working for me in this clip at all.
So yeah. Great. All this crap (with the maybe exceptions of "V" and "Flash Forward"), but you couldn't keep "Pushing Daisies," "Dirty Sexy Money" or "The Unusuals?" Good on ya', ABC.
Jimmy Kimmel summed it up best during his presentation at the upfronts yesterday:
Everything you've heard today, everything you're going to hear this week, is bullshit…. And all these shows we're so excited about, we're gonna cancel about 90% of them, maybe more. The show 'Shark Tank' has the word 'tank' right in the title.

Villa San Gimignano Lo Spadino > San Gimignano
Villa Podere Lo Spadino is located in the municipality of San Gimignano about 5 km from the historic center. San Gimignano is a small medieval town rich in charm, mystery and history that can be easily perceived walking through the picturesque alleys of the center that wind in the shadow of the imposing noble towers, the undisputed symbol of the city. It is located halfway between Siena and Florence, 35 km and 45 km respectively.
San Gimignano rises on a high hill about 300 m high and owes its name to the bishop of Modena who defended the village from the invasion of Attila.
Already inhabited in the Etruscan period, it had a prosperous development in the medieval period thanks above all to the Via Francigena that crossed it (and the cross), an important communication and trade route of the time; this meant that the city became a significant point of reference for traders, merchants and wayfarers but above all for the numerous faithful who went on pilgrimage to Rome.
After numerous struggles between the Guelphs and the Ghibellines, the government of the city was in the hands of the Ghibelline faction and it is precisely at that time that the greatest economic splendor was based, based on the trade of precious local agricultural products, including the precious and highly sought-after saffron; in the middle of 1200, however, the city was conquered by the Guelphs of Florence who destroyed the walls and other public works built by the enemy faction. Following the bloody battle of Montaperti in 1260 which saw the Ghibellines of Siena and the Guelphs of Florence opposed and won by the Sienese faction, San Gimignano returned under the Ghibelline rule which had the walls rebuilt and divided the city into 4 districts corresponding each to a of the main gates of the town: Piazza, Castello, San Matteo and San Giovanni.
San Gimignano is famous throughout the world for its towers (it seems that they have inspired the builders of the infamous twin towers of Manhattan) built precisely in the period of greater development and economic prosperity; the gentlemen had them erected to demonstrate all their power and the higher they were, the more it meant that the master was powerful. At the time there were 72 towers, the highest of which (and still is) was the "Torre del Podestà" also known as "Torre Grossa" which stood out with its 54 m height; today, on the other hand, there are only 16, the others have been torn down or partially destroyed during the bombardments of the world wars.
In 1990 San Gimignano was declared a cultural heritage of humanity by UNESCO.
In addition, the ideal strategic location is ideal for the Villa allows easy access to other nearby cities, also of considerable interest.
The splendid Siena, a famous medieval town known throughout the world for its "Palio", horse race that takes place in the famous "Piazza del Campo" on July 2nd and August 16th of every year.
Just 20 km away is Monteriggioni, a charming fortified medieval village, 15 km Colle Val d'Elsa, also known as the "city of crystal" for its craft industries that produce precisely crystal.
Volterra, Etruscan city, just 25 km.
Moving towards the Val d'Orcia, 90 km away, you can reach Montalcino, home of the famous Brunello wine and a little further, about 115 km, Pienza, famous for its pecorino cheese.
Just 45 km away is the beautiful and Renaissance Florence and 47 km Vinci, the city that gave birth to Leonardo of ser Piero da Vinci.
A little further on, at 90 km, is Pisa with its "Piazza dei Miracoli" which houses the famous "leaning tower" and at 125 km Lucca, a lovely Renaissance city at the foot of the Apuan Alps.
At 52 km, in the town of Chiusdino, stands the imposing Abbey of San Galgano, a striking Latin-cross basilica with 3 naves, famous for its walls without roofs and without the floor which in spring is covered with a green grass; a few steps, walking up the path on the hill of Montesiepi, in the small church in the woods you can admire the "sword in the rock" that Galgano Guidotti, arrogant and violent noble, in full religious conversion, stuck into the ground as a sign of renounces violence in order to create with it a cross on which to pray.
At 94 km from San Gimignano it is possible to reach Bagno Vignoni which boasts one of the most evocative and particular squares of the world occupied by a large pool where thermal water is collected that flows from the subsoil at 52 ° C and around which everything is developed. the small village.
Finally, in the surroundings of San Gimignano, just a few kilometers away, you should visit Certaldo Alto, the Parish Church of Pancole and San Vivaldo.

CHINA'S FIRST CWHL BATTLE ATTRACTS EYEBALLS;KUNLUN LOSES PENALTY KICK
At 7:30a.m. October 22 on Beijing Time, Shenzhen Kunlun Red Star Women Hockey Team in Markham, Canada ushered the first match of a new era . The match versus Markham Thunder was the first match of Shenzhen Kunlun Red Star at CWHL, as well as the home opener of Thunder after moving to Markham this season.
KUNLUN PICKS UP WINNING STREAK ; VANKE LOSES THE MATCH 7-1
October 6 on Beijing Time/ Erie,U. S./ Sun Jiaxuan(reporter)
At 22:00, October 5 on Beijing Time, Shenzhen Kunlun Red Star ushered their second opponent in the preseason games-Vanke Rays. This is also the first confrontation between Kunlun Red Star and Vanke Rays in the North American Series.In the game, Rannyi, the No.91 player from the Kunlun Red Star, outdid herself, scored 4 goals successively, and ultimately helped her team beat Vanke Rays 7:1, bringing two-game winning streak before the preseason games.
Kunlun Red Star 3 HC Sochi 4
Another defeat, and another hard loss to take. This game highlighted some of the best and worst of Red Star's play this season … and despite a stirring comeback, it ended in a narrow victory for our visitor.
Take two. Pavel Vorobei – KHL's Rookie of the Week
To mark the end of the eleventh week's play of the tenth season of the Championship (due to the season break for the Eurotour we have included performances in matches played on the 6th and 7th of the month) the Kontinental Hockey League has named the best players of the week in four categories.
Kunlun Red Star 1 Dynamo Moscow 2 (SO)
The international break brought some changes to Red Star's roster … but there was no immediate change of luck as the team returned to action on Tuesday. Not for the first time, our guys battled hard and arguably deserved better than a shoot-out defeat; once again, though, the unforgiving stats show another loss.
Kunlun Red Star 0 Dinamo Minsk 2
Sometimes it feels like a team just can't catch a break. Thursday's encounter with Dinamo Minsk promised to be a battle between two clubs in similar positions. Both Red Star and our Belarusian visitor are scrapping for a playoff place in their respective conferences, and both had legitimate hopes of taking something from the game. Our recent form was not encouraging on paper – just one win in six coming into this match-up – but individual performances offered more grounds for hope. Each of those losses had been by a single goal, two of them had come after ties in regulation. With some more clinical finishing, with a kinder bounce of the puck, the whole picture might have looked very different.
Kunlun Red Star 1 SKA St. Petersburg 8
When our club was formed – and don't forget that the organization is still a little way short of its second birthday – one of the major reasons behind creating a KHL team was the chance to witness hockey at its best. Of course, the ultimate aim was and is to establish a strong team here in China, to turn Red Star into an outfit capable of challenging for honors. But, along the way, it was understood that the way to introduce hockey to a new audience meant bringing some of the best players in the world to arenas in Shanghai and Beijing, and allowing the Chinese public to witness the skill, commitment and excitement of our sport in person.
Kunlun Red Star 1 Lokomotiv Yaroslavl 4
Goals change games. It's one of the oldest truisms in the book, yet once again it proved itself in Friday's meeting with Lokomotiv. The visitor, which handed only a second ever KHL start to rookie goalie Ilya Konovalov, had the teenager to thank for a brilliant early save to deny Brandon DeFazio. Had the youngster failed to reach that one …
Slovan Bratislava 2 Kunlun Red Star 1 OT
In times of trouble, 'Go west!' was often the cry. From the old world to the new, then from the densely populated cities of the east coast to the wide expanses of the west. For Red Star, a run of 14 losses in 16 games certainly represented trouble, and the schedule ordered our longest trip of the season as the team looked to uncover brighter prospects.

Panhard Dyna Junior- 1954
This French manufacturer built its first motorcar in 1891. In the early days of the automobile, the company led the way in French car design and motor racing. By the 1930s, Panhard had become known for its medium sized and touring cars. Following 1945, Panhard concentrated on building cheaper models typically owned by family motorists. Many of its designs used simple two-cylinder engines. In the early 1950s, small industry sports car manufacturers in France were building sports cars using the Dyna-Panhard engine and chassis. In 1952, Panhard began producing the Panhard Dyna Junior Roadster. A face-lifted model was introduced in 1954 - the Cabriolet model you see here. By the mid 1960s Panhard was in difficulty, which led to Citroën purchasing the company in 1965. Production of Panhard cars finished in 1967.
Manufacturer: Sté Anonyme des Anciens Établissements, Panhard
Engine: 745cc, 2 cylinder, air cooled

Category: ANTIQUE HAORI
This is a fabulous example of a Japanese Man's "Haori" or formal topcoat. It is entirely handmade, totally reversible, and has represented the height of formal ware for Japanese men for centuries. The outer layer of the garment is a very heavy, high quality, solid black Satin Silk with the exception of 5 white circles within which a pictorial symbol of the family crest or "Mon" has been painted. This family crest was one of the most difficult to create on Silk, and represents the Sun or "Hi" encircled by celestial elements. The solar symbol was derived from Japan's legendary origins and the alleged genesis of the Imperial Family from the Sun Goddess. The inner stripe or "Hikiryo" in the center of the sun symbol implies a strong martial connection as it was used on banners in the earliest times to distinguish the fighting clans on the battlefield.
What makes the Haori for men so intriguing is the fact that the main source of decoration is on the inside of the garment (shown left), or the lining. The inner back panel of this dramatic Haori has been magnificently hand woven in 2 geometric shapes: the white circle or "Maru" which stands for perfection, harmony and completeness and which encloses the Kanji symbols; and the square or "Kiku" that portrays a dramatic vista of a rocky promontory overlooking the Inland Sea. The setting for this scene has been woven in a rare and unusual shade of light purple, while it also includes pure gold threads…all of which shine on the dark burnished gold background color of the inner lining which continues around the front of the garment. Only a member of a family of wealth and high status could have worn a garment of this quality.

Verizon Closes Hard-Fought Straight Path Communications Purchase
Following a monthlong bidding war with AT&T last year, Verizon completed its purchase of wireless spectrum holder Straight Path Communications in an all-stock deal worth $3.1 billion.
By Gina Narcisi February 28, 2018, 10:29 AM EST
Telecom giant Verizon has completed its purchase of wireless spectrum holder Straight Path Communications in a deal that followed an intense, monthlong bidding war between Verizon and rival carrier AT&T last year.
Via the terms of the deal, Verizon has purchased Straight Path for $3.1 billion in an all-stock transaction. As of Wednesday, Straight Path is a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Verizon and its shares are being delisted from the New York Stock Exchange.
Verizon, based in Basking Ridge, N.J., said in May that the deal will give the carrier valuable millimeter wave (mmWave) spectrum licenses that cover the entire U.S., including within the top 40 markets.

Straight Path holds an extensive portfolio of hard-to-come-by 39GHz and 28GHz wireless spectrum licenses that carriers can use to develop 5G networks. As such, these licenses were appealing to AT&T and Verizon as the two providers aggressively build out their next-generation networks.
Dallas-based AT&T first revealed plans to acquire Straight Path in April for $95.63 per share, or $1.6 billion. Later in the same month, an unnamed bidder came forward with an offer of $104.64 per share, or $1.8 billion. The unnamed bidder followed up in May with a second bid of $184 per share, or $3.1 billion, nearly doubling AT&T's offer.
Straight Path said it gave AT&T the opportunity to improve its bid, but the carrier chose not to make any amendments to its offer. Glen Allen, Va.-based Straight Path considered the unnamed bidder, then confirmed to be Verizon, as having proposed a superior bid. The deal with Verizon was approved on Aug. 2, 2017, at a special meeting of the shareholders of Straight Path, the company said.

ATKINS, KROLL & COMPANY, LTD., Plaintiff and Appellant, v. BROADWAY LUMBER COMPANY, Defendant and Respondent.
Graham B. Moody, Jr., McCutchen, Doyle, Brown, Trautman & Enersen for Plaintiff and Appellant.
Orrick, Dahlquist, Herrington & Sutcliffe and Robert A. Keller for Defendant and Respondent.
MOLINARI, J.
This is an appeal by plaintiff, Atkins, Kroll & Co., Ltd., fn. 1 from an order quashing service of process and dismissing a proceeding to confirm an arbitration award on the ground of lack of jurisdiction over defendant, Broadway Lumber Company, a New Mexico corporation. fn. 2
Question Presented
Did Broadway, a foreign corporation, submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of this state when it agreed to submit to arbitration under the laws of California? [222 Cal. App. 2d 648]
On September 23, 1958, Atkins and Broadway entered into a written contract whereby the former agreed to sell to the latter certain plywood doorskins to be shipped to the Walker Door Manufacturing Co. fn. 3 in Dallas, Texas. The said contract contained the following provision: "This contract and all matters relating to the performance thereof shall be governed by the laws of the State of California. Any controversy or dispute respecting this contract, upon the demand of either Buyer or Seller, shall be submitted to arbitration before a committee of the Foreign Commerce Association of the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce under its rules, the decision being final and binding on both Buyer and Seller."
On October 30, 1962, Atkins filed a petition entitled an "Application For Order Affirming An Arbitration Award" in the Superior Court of the City and County of San Francisco. The said petition alleges the execution of said contract, a copy of which is attached thereto. The petition alleges, further, that a controversy having arisen out of said contract, Atkins made demand for arbitration pursuant to said contract; that the dispute was submitted to arbitration before the Foreign Commerce Association of the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce; that an Arbitration Committee was appointed by said Association; and that said Committee made its award on September 10, 1962, against Broadway, and in favor of Atkins, for the sum of $12,205.38, representing the unpaid amount of an invoice for plywood shipped to Walker. The petition prayed for an order confirming said award and for a judgment in conformity therewith. The hearing of said petition was noticed and a copy of said notice and of said petition were forwarded to Broadway in Albuquerque, New Mexico, by registered mail. Broadway thereupon appeared specially and moved the said superior court for an order quashing service of said petition and notice of hearing, and for an order dismissing the action. The motion was based solely upon the ground that the said superior court lacked personal jurisdiction over Broadway.
Broadway's said motion was accompanied by an affidavit which stated substantially as follows: that Broadway is a corporation with its principal place of business in Albuquerque, New Mexico; that Broadway has not had and does not currently have any offices, branches, factories, warehouses, mills or other facilities in California; that Broadway does not employ [222 Cal. App. 2d 649] any residents of California nor are any employees designated or authorized to perform duties or engage in activities in California; that Broadway has not and is not now engaged in the solicitation of business by mail or by any other means in California; that the plywood doorskins in question were not ordered for the use of Broadway but were to be shipped to Walker for its use; that a dispute arose regarding the quality of the doorskins and their utility for the purposes of Walker; that on March 31, 1959, Atkins issued credit memorandums to Broadway in the amount of $86,046.58 for doorskins which had been delivered by Atkins to the Metro Warehouse in Dallas, but had not been used by Walker; that Atkins subsequently made demand upon Broadway for $24,419.16 for doorskins allegedly missing from the Metro Warehouse, the responsibility for which is denied by Broadway; that in letters dated March 9, 1962, and March 26, 1962, Broadway was advised by the Foreign Commerce Association of the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce that Atkins formally requested arbitration before the Association; that Broadway advised said Association that it did not consent to arbitration and that the Association had no jurisdiction to arbitrate; that Broadway did not appear or in any way participate in any proceedings conducted by the Association regarding this demand; that Atkins' claim is not based on any contract, but solely on the alleged shortage of material in said warehouse; and that Broadway is not party to any arrangements between Atkins and Metro Warehouse.
Atkins did not file or submit any affidavit in opposition to that filed by Broadway. The court below granted Broadway's motion, from which order Atkins now appeals.
Contentions
Atkins contends that an agreement to submit to arbitration under the laws of California is an agreement to submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of this state to enter judgment on an award under the agreement. Atkins asserts, further, that it was under no obligation to seek an order compelling arbitration, but that the arbitration provision in the contract was self-executing once one of the parties made a demand for arbitration.
Broadway, in turn, asserts that it has not consented to in personam jurisdiction; that it was not doing business in California; and that, in any event, the contract in question had terminated prior to the time the dispute between the parties [222 Cal. App. 2d 650] arose. Broadway argues, moreover, that Atkins has the burden of proving the existence of facts which establish jurisdiction over Broadway, and that, by failing to present an affidavit in support of its position and in opposition to Broadway's affidavit, Atkins failed to meet its burden.
Before entering into a discussion of the applicable legal principles it should be noted that no contention is made by Atkins that Broadway is doing business in California. Jurisdiction over Broadway is claimed on the basis of the agreement to submit to arbitration under the laws of California. We need not discuss, therefore, whether Broadway is subject to local process on the basis of "doing business in this state" as this term has been defined and interpreted by the reviewing courts.
The Agreement to Arbitrate
[1a] The immediate inquiry is whether, by agreeing to submit to arbitration under the laws of California, Broadway agreed to submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of this state. This same question was posed in Frey & Horgan Corp. v. Superior Court (1936) 5 Cal. 2d 401 [55 P.2d 203], wherein the parties had entered into a contract containing the identical arbitration provisions as in the instant case, and providing for submission to arbitration before the very same committee of the Foreign Commerce Association of the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce. There, the petitioner filed its petition in the Superior Court of the City and County of San Francisco for an order directing arbitration to proceed under authority of section 1282 of the Code of Civil Procedure. fn. 4 Thereafter, service was made upon the Frey & Horgan Corporation by delivery to the secretary of that corporation, in the City of New York, of a written notice, authorized by section 1282, that the application and motion for the desired order would be presented to the court at a time stated. Frey & Horgan Corporation then appeared specially to move the trial court for an order quashing service of the notice of motion. The trial court denied the motion to quash and directed that the arbitration proceed. The Frey & [222 Cal. App. 2d 651] Horgan Corporation then petitioned the Supreme Court for a writ of prohibition commanding that the superior court desist from further proceedings. In denying the writ, the Supreme Court held that notice of a petition for an order directing arbitration to proceed constitutes "process"; and that while, as a general rule, in personam jurisdiction may not be acquired over a defendant in an action by service of notice or other process outside the territory or state in which the forum exists (citing Pennoyer v. Neff, 95 U.S. 714 [24 L.Ed. 565]), a contract containing provisions which stipulate that disputes arising thereunder should be submitted to arbitration before the designated committee and which provides that " '[t]his contract in all respects shall be governed and construed by the laws of the State of Claifornia' " (p. 403), constitutes an agreement to submit to the jurisdiction of the California courts. The rationale of Frey & Horgan is that such a contract was an agreement to cooperate in the arbitration proceedings; that section 1282 should be read into such contract as a part thereof; and that, accordingly, it was an agreement to submit to the jurisdiction within which the arbitration must operate in order to give it the effect contemplated by the contract and by the law.
The rule of the Frey & Horgan case was codified by section 1293 of the Code of Civil Procedure in 1961, fn. 5 and became effective on September 15, 1961. In view of the rule against retroactive application, unless the Legislature has expressly so declared (§ 3; see DiGenova v. State Board of Education, 57 Cal. 2d 167, 172-175 [13 Cal. Rptr. 369, 367 P.2d 865]), there may be some question as to whether section 1293 applies to contracts executed prior to its effective date. It is apparent, however, that the rule announced in Frey & Horgan is applicable to contracts entered into prior to September 15, 1961, and that section 1293 is but a codification of the principle declared in Frey & Horgan. It is clear, therefore, that any contract entered into while Frey & Horgan was decisional law was made in contemplation of, and subject to, the rule therein declared. Accordingly, no vested rights [222 Cal. App. 2d 652] would be impaired or new liabilities imposed even if section 1293 be given retrospective effect. Suffice it to say, however, the principle under discussion was the law of this state prior to the time it was given statutory expression.
It is argued by Broadway that Frey & Horgan is not controlling in the instant case because here Atkins is seeking to confirm an arbitrators' award, while in Frey & Horgan the petitioner sought to compel arbitration. The significance of an order to compel arbitration was discussed in Brink v. Allegro Builders, Inc. (1962) 58 Cal. 2d 577 [25 Cal. Rptr. 556, 375 P.2d 436]. In that case, plaintiffs and defendant entered into a contract which contained the following arbitration clause: " 'As between the parties hereto, all questions as to the rights and obligations arising under the terms of the contract, the plans and specifications are subject to arbitration. In case of dispute either party hereto may make a demand for arbitration by filing such demand in writing with the other. ... Should either party refuse or neglect to appoint said arbitrator or to furnish the arbitrators with any papers or information demanded he or they are empowered by both parties to proceed ex parte. ...' " (Pp. 578-579.) The question before the court was whether, in the face of the above contractual provisions, either party could unilaterally proceed with arbitration without first resorting to the superior court for an order compelling arbitration. The court held that section 1282 was only designed to afford a remedy where the parties had not provided for the contingency that had arisen, and that when the arbitration clause is self-executing no court action is required in order to proceed with the arbitration. (See also Government Employees Ins. Co. v. Brunner (1961) 191 Cal. App. 2d 334 [12 Cal. Rptr. 547].)
Broadway does not maintain that an action to compel was needed in order to initiate the arbitration procedures, but argues that even though a party who enters into a contract which provides for arbitration in California has indicated a willingness to submit to the jurisdiction of the California courts, this consent covers only the arbitration process itself, and that once the arbitration proceedings culminate in an award, the jurisdictional waiver is no longer operative. It is thus contended that even though the arbitration agreement is self-executing, so that the petitioner need not bring an action to compel arbitration, the consent to jurisdiction recognized in Frey & Horgan, and codified in section 1293, should apply only to a proceeding seeking to compel arbitration and [222 Cal. App. 2d 653] should not be extended to one asking for confirmation of the award.
No case has been found or cited which supports Broadway's argument. We are satisfied, however, that such contention is without merit. It is conceded that, as determined in Brink, the arbitration agreement is self-executing and that, therefore, no court aid is required to invoke the arbitration clause. In the instant case, the court aid sought is not to enforce the agreement to arbitrate, which is self-executing, but to enforce the award, made by the arbitrators acting pursuant to the agreement, by having it reduced to a judgment. (See §§ 1285 to 1287.6.) The contract in the case at bench affirmatively refers to the right of arbitration with particular reference to the laws of California. Under the Frey & Horgan case the laws of this state became a part of the contract. [2] Moreover, "[t]he agreement to submit the dispute to the arbitration committee is an agreement to cooperate in that proceeding," and "an agreement to submit to the jurisdiction within which the arbitration must operate in order to give it the effect contemplated by the contract and by the law." (Frey & Horgan Corp. v. Superior Court, supra, pp. 404-405.) [1b] That "effect," we are satisfied, includes not only the enforcement of arbitration agreements and the conduct of arbitration proceedings, but the enforcement of the award resulting from such arbitration in the manner provided by California law. To hold otherwise would be tantamount to a refutation of the principle of the Frey & Horgan case, and would amount to an emasculation and frustration of the purpose and objectives of the arbitration laws of this state.
The Burden of Proof
[3] The burden of proof was on Atkins to establish that the California courts had jurisdiction over Broadway. (Holtkamp v. States Marine Corp., 165 Cal. App. 2d 131, 137 [331 P.2d 679]; Martin Bros. Elec. Co. v. Superior Court, 121 Cal. App. 2d 790, 794 [264 P.2d 183]; Briggs v. Superior Court, 81 Cal. App. 2d 240, 251 [183 P.2d 758].) In the present case the motion to quash was submitted and determined upon the verified petition of Atkins seeking a confirmation of the award and the affidavit of Broadway in opposition thereto. No counteraffidavit was filed by Atkins. Motions are usually made and determined on affidavits alone. (Beckett v. Kaynar Mfg. Co., Inc., 49 Cal. 2d 695, 698, fn. 3 [321 P.2d 749]; Skouland v. Skouland, 201 Cal. App. 2d 677, [222 Cal. App. 2d 654] 678 [20 Cal. Rptr. 185]; Fuller v. Lindenbaum, 29 Cal. App. 2d 227, 230 [84 P.2d 255] (motion to quash summons); see § 2009.) [4] A verified pleading is itself an affidavit and may be considered as such. (2 Cal.Jur.2d, Affidavits, § 4, p. 616; Albertson v. Raboff, 185 Cal. App. 2d 372, 388 [8 Cal. Rptr. 398]; Hoffman v. City of Palm Springs, 169 Cal. App. 2d 645, 648 [337 P.2d 521].) Thus, a verified complaint may be considered in support of an application for an injunction (Bank of America v. Williams, 89 Cal. App. 2d 21, 23 [200 P.2d 151); and as a counteraffidavit on a motion for change of venue. (Quick v. Corsaro, 180 Cal. App. 2d 831, 835 [4 Cal. Rptr. 674]; 1 Witkin, Cal. Procedure, § 260, p. 781, citing cases.) [5] Upon analogy, we see no reason why a verified petition should not be treated as a counteraffidavit on a motion to quash service of process, provided it is otherwise sufficient to meet the factual challenge of the defendant's affidavit. It appears, moreover, that the verified complaint has been treated as the equivalent of an affidavit on motions to quash service of summons. (See Fuller v. Lindenbaum, supra, pp. 230- 231, where no counteraffidavits were presented and the motion was decided upon the issues joined by the first amended complaint and the affidavits of the defendants; see also, Martin Bros. Elec. Co. v. Superior Court, supra, p. 791; and see Briggs v. Superior Court, supra, p. 251.) It should be noted, moreover, that in Quick it was held that where the defendant's affidavit did not deny or otherwise meet the essential allegations in the complaint as they related to venue, it was insufficient to warrant the granting of a motion for a change, and the complaint determined jurisdiction, even though unverified.
[6] In considering an order made on affidavits involving the decision on a question of fact, the appellate court is bound by the same rule as where oral testimony is presented for review. (Griffith Co. v. San Diego College for Women, 45 Cal. 2d 501, 508 [289 P.2d 476, 37 A.L.R.2d 1349.) [7] Accordingly, where an issue is tried on affidavits, the rule on appeal is that those affidavits favoring the contentions of the prevailing party establish not only the facts stated therein, but also all facts which reasonably may be inferred therefrom, and that where there is a substantial conflict presented by the affidavits, the determination of the controverted facts by the trial court will not be disturbed on appeal. (Beckett v. Kaynar Mfg. Co., Inc., supra, p. 699; Griffith Co. v. San Diego College for Women, supra, p. 508.) [8] Turning to [222 Cal. App. 2d 655] the affidavits in the instant case we find, however, that there is no factual conflict between them in the essentials having to do with the issue before us. Broadway admits that a dispute arose regarding the quality and utility of the doorskins sold to Walker, and that the Foreign Commerce Association of the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce advised Broadway that Atkins had formally requested arbitration before the Association. It is further admitted by Broadway, in its affidavit, that it did not consent to such arbitration. Said affidavit asserts therein that the Association did not have jurisdiction to arbitrate and that Atkins' claim is not based on contract, but on an alleged shortage of material arising out of an arrangement between Atkins and Metro Warehouse to which Broadway was not a party. These last assertions are not statements of evidentiary facts, but are conclusions insofar as the question of jurisdiction and the stated basis of Atkins' claim are concerned, and, at best, a statement of ultimate fact insofar as the averment that Broadway was not a party to any arrangements between Atkins and Metro. Opposed to Broadway's affidavit is Atkins' verified petition which alleges the execution of the contract between the parties and has attached to it a copy thereof. The execution of this contract is not denied by Broadway in its affidavit, although its existence and execution is not expressly admitted. Its execution is, however, conceded by Broadway in its brief. Moreover, Broadway relied on the very same contract when, at oral argument, it urged that we consider paragraph 17 thereof in determining the question before us. (We shall hereinafter discuss this portion of the contract.) Alluding once again to the petition, it should be noted that it, too, avers that a controversy has arisen between the parties, asserting that the same arises out of the contract, and alleges further that the dispute was referred to the aforesaid Association which proceeded with arbitration and the making of its award. It is not denied by Broadway that the arbitration took place and that an award was made. Broadway stands on its contention that, although such arbitration by the Association was requested by Atkins, Broadway refused to participate on the ground that the Association had no jurisdiction to arbitrate.
It is readily apparent that the question presented to the trial court was one of law based upon undisputed facts, and that the prime consideration was the interpretation of the contract between the parties. The instant agreement is one [222 Cal. App. 2d 656] the construction of which is based upon its terms without the aid of extrinsic evidence. In such a case, the construction is one of law and we are not bound by the trial court's interpretation, but it is our duty to make the determination in accordance with applicable principles of law. (Estate of Platt, 21 Cal. 2d 343 [131 P.2d 825]; Meyer v. State Board of Equalization, 42 Cal. 2d 376, 381 [267 P.2d 257]; Estate of Black, 211 Cal. App. 2d 75, 83 [27 Cal. Rptr. 418].) [1c] These principles we have already discussed above. Applied to the instant case they lead to the following conclusion: that pursuant to the terms of the contract the parties agreed that all matters relating to its performance were to be governed by the laws of California; that any dispute arising thereunder was to be submitted to arbitration before a designated arbitrator in California; that said agreement was self-executing; and that such an agreement submitted to the jurisdiction of the California courts the right and power to effectuate and enforce such arbitration in the manner and pursuant to the remedies provided by the laws of this state.
Did the Contract Terminate Before the Dispute Arose?
Broadway argues that, in any event, the instant contract terminated prior to the time the dispute arose and that therefore the contract cannot be urged as a basis for an agreement to submit to arbitration. This argument is predicated upon section 17 of said contract, which provides as follows: "This contract may be filled by two or more partial shipments at Seller's option and each shipment or delivery shall constitute a distinct and separate contract. Buyer shall not be entitled to reject any undelivered portion of the goods by reason of a valid rejection of any other portion thereof. In event of valid rejection, this contract is to be terminated to the extent of the quantity affected without any further right or claim on the part of either party." With respect to this contention, it suffices to note that the factual question having to do with a "valid rejection" was not tendered by the affidavits. The affidavit of Broadway acknowledges that a dispute has arisen as to the quality and utility of the doorskins. It appears from Broadway's affidavit that Atkins was amenable to a return of the skins delivered, and that the claim which Atkins wanted arbitrated was whether Broadway was responsible for the missing door skins. [9] It is well established that where parties have agreed that all questions as to rights and obligations under an agreement are subject to arbitration, all disputes pertaining to the meaning, interpretation and application [222 Cal. App. 2d 657] of any clause in the agreement, even those that prima facie appear to be without merit, are the subject of arbitration. (Brink v. Allegro Builders, Inc., supra, 58 Cal. 2d 577, 579; Posner v. Grunwald-Marx, Inc., 56 Cal. 2d 169, 184 [363 P.2d 313].)
To contend that because a contract may be deemed terminated upon the occurrence of a specified contingency, rights which may have accrued under said contract may not be adjudicated is to cavil with the fundamental principles of contract law. To assert, moreover, that the language of the contract, reading, "this contract is to be terminated to the extent of the quantity affected without any further right or claim on the part of either party" is to be interpreted as meaning that rejected goods are not to be returned to the seller or are not recoverable by him is to stretch credulity beyond its tensile strength. The responsibility for the return or the safeguarding of the goods in question is a matter for arbitration because it is a "controversy or dispute respecting this contract. ..." Whether the arbitrators acted properly as to any determination they may have made in this or any other regard, as well as the question as to whether the arbitrators went outside the scope of the contract, are all matters which may be inquired into upon the proceedings to confirm the award. Under the laws of this state, Broadway has the right to respond to the petition for confirmation of the award, and upon a proper showing may correct or vacate the award. (§§ 1285.6 to 1287, incl.) It may also seek a dismissal of the proceeding as to any person whom the court determines not to have been bound by the arbitration award and was not a party to the arbitration. (§ 1287.2.)
The order is reversed.
Bray, P. J., and Sullivan, J., concurred.
FN 1. Hereinafter referred to as "Atkins."
FN 2. Hereinafter referred to as "Broadway."
FN 3. Hereinafter referred to as "Walker."
FN 4. § 1282 then provided, in pertinent part, that an aggrieved party may petition the superior court for an order directing that such arbitration proceed in the manner agreed upon; that five days' written notice be given the party in default; that the court shall hear the parties, and upon being satisfied that the making of the agreement or such failure to comply therewith is not in issue, shall make an order directing the parties to proceed to arbitration in accordance with the terms of the agreement.
FN 5. § 1293 provides: "The making of an agreement in this State providing for arbitration to be had within this State shall be deemed a consent of the parties thereto to the jurisdiction of the courts of this State to enforce such agreement by the making of any orders provided for in this title and by entering of judgment on an award under the agreement."

Cyber risk forcing evolution of Singapore's aviation industry
Cybersecurity threats among the drivers of emerging aviation jobs in Singapore
Emerging aviation jobs in Singapore are being sculpted by factors such as cybersecurity threats as the country attempts to keep its burgeoning industry flying high, according to Willis Towers Watson.
The global consultancy said the focus in Singapore is to ensure aviation remains an important employer and attractive industry for jobseekers and the future workforce, capable of attracting the talent that can meet new demands.
"Singapore's aviation industry has been a key employer and contributor to the economy for many years," said Darryl Parrant, talent and rewards leader, Singapore, Willis Towers Watson.
"As we continue to see technology deeply engrained in the future ambitions of operators, we are encouraging companies to understand and embrace the disruptions this tech-driven evolution will have," he said.
Singapore's air transport sector already employs over 300,000 people and contributes 1.5% of national GDP. These figures are set to rise further, with the number of air travellers and aviation-related jobs in Singapore expected to double in the next 20 years.
"Today's airports are already expected to be the airports of tomorrow, and people will be at the heart of that transition," continued Parrant.
"Singapore already understands this context and is taking steps to ensure the shift is as smooth as possible by identifying how job skills and operating processes will change, the future career pathways for key talent and how existing jobs can be re-engineered while driving the development of new ones," he added.
Willis Towers Watson explained that emerging aviation jobs and skillsets are changing, but all are heading in the same direction as they confront the impacts of technology enabled transformation and fresh cybersecurity threats arising from increased automation and data reliance.
"Singapore's aviation industry is continually breaking new ground, as evidenced by Changi`s new Terminal 4 which is at the forefront of 'Smart Airport' development," said Jago Harvard-Walls, aviation client relationship director, Willis Towers Watson.
"Technology creates exciting opportunities for the industry, but is also a catalyst that heightens the need to manage the development of human capital into emerging roles, as well as to protect operational assets from an ever-increasing exposure to cyber risk.
"Singapore is facing the challenge head on and setting the benchmark for future workforce needs not just locally but also around the world," added Harvard-Walls.
