My beat: How folks make, keep and spend fortunes.
Timeshare developer David Siegel is a great salesman--and his biggest pitch is the story of how successful he is.
When timeshare tycoon David Siegel visits a newly constructed resort, he's not just checking up on big cost overruns. He's inspecting the furniture he preselected, the showerhead and flat-screen TV in each unit. He tests pillows by sleeping on them at home before picking the half-dozen that will end up on all beds. He reviews every expense, no matter how small, and recently questioned a bill for rental plants, including palm trees; now all timeshare units at Westgate Resorts have silk flowers. "There is no democracy," says Siegel, who founded Westgate 27 years ago. "I make all the decisions."
A little dictatorship never hurts in the dicey timeshare business. Losing control of any details can send finances reeling. "It takes a lot of money to keep the business running," says Siegel, who owns 100% of Westgate. "You have to keep borrowing to keep growing." The thirst for capital comes from the fact that both the construction cost of a resort and the considerable expenses of marketing it (40% to 50% of gross revenues) must be paid up front, while payments from customers come in very slowly. His buyers--Siegel refers to them as the "Johnny Lunch-Bucket crowd," who "shop at Wal-Mart and otherwise would stay in a Ramada Inn"--pony up roughly 10% initially, or $2,400 for the right to stay one week per year in a two-bedroom apartment. They pay the other $21,600 over ten years (often borrowing it from Westgate, which makes much of its money on financing), plus a $599 annual maintenance fee.
Siegel, 72, enjoys life on the edge. A onetime deputy sheriff, TV repairman and gas station owner, he has built Westgate into one of the nation's largest privately held timeshare developers. (He unhesitatingly says he's the biggest. "Successful people are not humble," he says. "You have to toot your own horn.") His 28 resorts in 11 states--450,000, he says, have bought 8,000 units from him--represent the bulk of his net worth, which we estimate at $1 billion. Siegel insists he's worth $1.8 billion; Westgate contacted this magazine earlier this year to lobby, in vain, to get him a spot on The Forbes 400 list.
Siegel and his third wife, Jacqueline, a former Mrs. Florida who is three decades his junior, are building a 90,000-square-foot lakefront house in Orlando, Fla. for them and their seven children, all under age 11. Versailles, as it's called, will have a roller rink, 6 swimming pools, a bowling alley, 10 kitchens and 30 bathrooms.
And there are big plans for Westgate. Siegel intends to spend $1 billion, funded from operations and bank debt, to build 4,000 units in such places as Myrtle Beach, S.C., Gatlinburg, Tenn. and Anaheim, Calif. He has already dropped $100 million in cash and says he will invest another $1.1 billion in his chichiest project yet: a joint venture with Planet Hollywood to build a 2,853-unit tower in Las Vegas. Delayed two years and three times as expensive as originally budgeted, it is now slated for a 2009 opening. "Once the Westgate name is on top of the 50-story icon property," says Siegel, "we will be a brand, and it will give us more credibility."
Credibility is something this business could use more of. But consumer protections, as well as offerings from such respected players as Wyndham, Marriott and Starwood , helped push industry sales above $10 billion last year from $2.7 billion a decade ago. Exchange services that let timeshare owners trade their weeks for other ones around the world have also helped to juice revenues. But the business still has a whiff of slick sales tactics and funky accounting. Says Howard Nusbaum, chief executive of the industry's trade organization, American Resort Development Association: "We don't get the respect [hotels] do."
Siegel mastered the art of the quick buck while very young, growing up in Indianapolis and later Miami. At age 4 he begged his mother to let him deliver newspapers like his older brother. A few years later he would get a box of bubble gum from his dad, who owned a grocery store, and cut it into ten pieces to resell for a dime apiece at school. At 19 he enrolled in an electronics school to learn TV and radio repair, then brought in busted-up equipment for his instructors to fix, and got paid for it. The school president told him to quit the business or quit school. Instead, Siegel opened a repair shop and hired his teacher to work for him.
Over the next decade Siegel hopped around a lot. He tried his luck in Hollywood, returned to Florida to become a deputy sheriff, attended the University of Miami, joined the U.S. Air Force Reserve to avoid being drafted and started several businesses (three of which failed). He lost his repair shop, plus his house and car, after being called up on active duty for a year. He later borrowed $600 to open another TV repair business, which fell apart soon after his manager was shot and killed at the store. A furniture store he opened was firebombed and looted during riots in 1968. Wiped out, he took a job selling land over the phone but says he was fired for not following sales procedures. In 1970 he moved to Orlando to sell land, divorced his first wife and married his high school sweetheart.
Siegel found his footing that first year in Orlando, when he tried to sell a woman 11/4 acres of land for $5,000. She said it sounded pricey and pulled out a brochure for land in the same area selling for $500 an acre. He dismissed it as swampland and persuaded her to buy from him instead; when she went to get her checkbook, he slipped the brochure into his pocket. That Friday he agreed to buy all 1,280 acres of "swampland" for $640,000. He wrote a $25,000 check for the deposit, even though he didn't have the money to cover the check. On Monday he went from bank to bank until he persuaded one to lend him money. He then found a private investor to front him the rest.
Over the next few years Siegel sold enough property to stash $3 million and buy a few apartments, old hotels, a tourist attraction called Mystery Fun House and an orange grove near Disney World. One day in 1980 a man offered to pay him double the market value for 10 acres of the grove, explaining that he wanted to develop a timeshare business on it. Siegel demurred--and instead built his own timeshare villa. Two years later he began selling 16 units out of a tent at the back of the grove. He did well enough to throw himself a retirement party on his 50th birthday in 1985--a plan that obviously proved to be premature.
Siegel's messy private life nearly did him in. During 1997 divorce proceedings, he says, Bettie, his wife of 27 years and 50% owner of his business, refused to authorize loans needed to keep operations going unless Siegel signed over $200 million. Siegel says he relented, on the condition that he keep 100% ownership of Central Florida Investments (CFI), whose holdings included Westgate, as well as his Bill Mack sand sculpture called "Harmony," his stamp collection and, yes, his Rollerblades.
In the midst of the contretemps Siegel fired Alan Rainey, his chief financial officer. Rainey sued for his severance, and says he was fired for giving unflattering testimony in a deposition. Soon after the divorce settlement CFI's chief, Ronald Leventhal, who was married to the sister of Siegel's first wife, quit to start a rival outfit and was later joined by Rainey and two dozen of Westgate's managers. Siegel later sued his onetime executives, claiming they gave him misleading information about Westgate's financials. As a result, he says, his divorce settlement--which he tried, unsuccessfully, to undo--was based on an inflated valuation of his business. Siegel and Leventhal settled; the case involving him and Rainey is ongoing. "The projections were not inflated," Rainey says. "Look at the empire he's built."
The setbacks merely recharged him. He's been expanding ever since. Siegel builds more massive resorts (average number of units is 357, versus 109 for the industry) in high-traffic areas like Orlando, Williamsburg, Va. and Myrtle Beach. Siegel adds amenities, such as the Jurassic Park miniature golf course at the Westgate Vacation Villas near Orlando and a 60,000-square-foot indoor water park at the Westgate Smoky Mountain Resort in Gatlinburg.
The costs of frills is nothing alongside those of marketing. Siegel spent $259 million funding five call centers and up to 1,700 telemarketers and 2,600 salespeople during peak season, as well as 500 Web sites that offer discounted vacations to people willing to listen to a resort sales pitch. In Orlando, for instance, Westgate has set up booths in 7-Eleven stores, Universal Studios' theme park and hotels, where it offers free or discounted tickets to Disney World, Sea World or Universal in exchange for taking a 90-minute tour of a resort. A show at Westgate Vacation Villas featuring live white Siberian tigers has drawn crowds, but it has also incited animal rights protesters, who picketed Siegel's resorts and home until he got a court injunction.
Perhaps 600 people show up at 7 a.m. on a Monday to take a tour of the gigantic Westgate Vacation Villas, lured by the offer of the theme-park tickets. After a buffet breakfast (gratis) and a half-hour look at the place, potential buyers are herded into a large room for the hard sell. If after that a customer still isn't sold, his salesperson leaves to get a gift bag with the tickets and brings over another sales associate who pitches a sampler package--a trial week at one of the resorts for $800 to $1,500, less than what it costs to stay in a motel. Westgate claims that one in five tour-takers eventually buys a unit, twice the estimated industry average. Of those, 6% reportedly rescind (the states variously allow three to ten days to back out), versus 13% for the industry in 2006; another 15% eventually default.

Pushiness hasn't hurt Westgate's business, which Siegel claims netted $154 million on revenue of $608 million last year. But it's not that simple. Timeshare accounting is done on a completion basis. By that measure Westgate's sales were really $379 million, since it had to defer $229 million worth of projects sold last year that are still under construction. And as for those earnings, they're in fact lower, thanks in part to new accounting regulations that require most sales and marketing costs to be recognized as they occur, not deferred, as in the past. Nor do those profits reflect payment of taxes. That's done through Siegel's holding company, Central Florida Investments. Assuming rates of 34%, Westgate netted roughly $50 million. It's a highly leveraged outfit: As of Dec. 31 it had $816 million worth of notes payable and lines of credit. A major creditor is Siegel himself, who has lent the company $112 million.
He's keeping an eye on that investment, shuttling back and forth to Las Vegas every other week to inspect his prize property. On a recent visit he spotted 25 changes he wanted to make to the model. "I didn't like the door trims or the granite on the sink; the kitchen lights weren't bright enough; I wanted the width of the doorway to the bedroom expanded a foot," he says. "Unfortunately, the people who work for me can't see what I see. I am like a bull who sees red."

Lockdown Nigeria Now,..Aisha Buhari Tells FG
CKN NIGERIA Published: March 23, 2020
The wife of President Muhammadu Buhari has called for a total lockdown in Nigeria over the coronavirus pandemic. Mrs Buhari, in a tweet on Monday, commended the recent school lockdown in the country but described the act as counterproductive if parents still go to work. She said: "It is commendable that state governors have closed down schools; however, this could be counterproductive if parents are still going to work.
We should not isolate students and expose their parents. Let us remember that they will meet at home." It is commendable that state governors have closed down schools; however, this could be counterproductive if parents are still going to work. We should not isolate students and expose their parents. Let us remember that they will meet at home.#TotalLockDown#StayAtHome
Aisha M. Buhari (@aishambuhari) March 23, 2020 The President's wife had revealed on Thursday that one of her daughters, who returned from the United Kingdom, was in self-isolation amidst the coronavirus scare. Also, a former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, on Sunday, revealed that one of the sons tested positive to coronovirus.
The coronavirus pandemic has about 350,000 confirmed cases, 14,000 deaths globally as at today, according to worldometers.info. Nigeria, which just recorded its first death from the virus, had ordered a shut down of schools, tertiary institutions and places of worship last week. Lagos state, being the first to announce a compulsory 14 days stay-at-home for civil servants, has the highest number of reported cases in the country.
Churches and mosques in many states across the country defied the ban order and opened for their usual forms of worship last Friday and Sunday respectively. According to the Nigeria Center for Disease Control, Nigeria has 36 confirmed cases of the pandemic as at March 23, 2020. The 1st #COVID19 death in Nigeria has been recorded. The case was a 67 year old male who returned home following medical treatment in UK He had underlying medical conditions- multiple myeloma & diabetes & was undergoing chemotherapy Our thoughts are with his family pic.twitter.com/A7STOjTQeW — NCDC (@NCDCgov) March 23, 2020

Westminster Alumnus Derick Dailey To Be Freshman Convocation Speaker
Westminster freshmen will begin their college experience with an inspirational talk by alumnus Derick Dailey '11 at Freshman Convocation August 19 in Champ Auditorium.
Born in Little Rock, AR, Dailey recently completed a J.D. (Doctorate of Jurisprudence) at Fordham University School of Law in New York City and is currently studying for his bar exams. Previously, he earned a Master of Arts degree in religion and ethics as a Dames Scholar at Yale University in 2014.
He has also served as the James E. Johnson Legal Fellow at the Brennan Center for Justice at NYU School of Law, a summer intern at a St. Louis commercial litigation firm and a legal intern for the U.S. Attorney Office in the Eastern District of New York.
"I am honored and excited to return home to share in this momentous experience with the class of 2021," says Dailey. "Wherever I am in the world, Westminster comes with me. My character, my vision of the world, and my purpose were cultivated and enriched at this school."
While earning his bachelor of arts in political science and religious studies at Westminster, he served on a team that won a $10,000 grant to go to Ethiopia to build a library, and he was instrumental in founding a poverty initiative program where student volunteers took dining hall leftovers to local centers to feed senior citizens and those in need. His achievements so impressed the head of the international organization Bread for the World that he helped Dailey become a member of the organization's board of directors while still a student.
Once leaving Westminster, Dailey followed his passion for racial and social justice, serving a year as a member of the Teach for America Corps in the Mississippi Delta.
In 2013, Dailey returned to Westminster to deliver the keynote address at the President's Dinner. He told the capacity crowd: "The audacity to dream is what Westminster does for young minds. Here, at Westminster, we dare to believe that today can be better than yesterday and that tomorrow is full of endless possibilities to do good for all people."
Dailey has also served on the board for the Alliance to End Hunger, the Board of the Rudd Center for Food and Obesity at the University of Connecticut and on the executive committee of the Yale Black Alumni Association. He served as the Board Chair and Chief Executive Officer for the National Black Law Students Association.
He is a prolific writer and his academic writings have appeared in numerous publications and professional academic journals.
He attended the 10th Assembly of the World Council of Churches in Busan, South Korea, as a North American delegate of the Global Ecumenical Theological Institute.
Before convocation, all new students will participate in one of Westminster's most revered rites, the traditional Columns Ceremony. The new students will walk from the world through the historic Columns and onto the campus to begin their Westminster experience.

Robert Burns Hotel [27] 1865-1904.
34 Courtney NE Blackwood Streets.
Robert Burns Hotel [27] 1865-1904, deprived (of its licence) 1904, used for a variety of purposes and now the Akita Restaurant.
The Robert Bums is named in honour of Scotland's national poet (1759- 1796) who wrote the words of 'Auld Lang Syne' and the poem 'Tam 0 Shanter' which in turn gave names to two of the pubs noted back at Stop number 4.
The Robert Burns was in business for 38 years and during that time had 22 licensees. On August 29th1865, it opened as a brick building of eight rooms. By 1904, there were 16 rooms but only two were open to the public.

In some places, businesses use a pass-thru, to pass cash or goods back and forth; this could be at a bank or a liquor store. The highest standard of pass-thru use bullet proof glass, although this material is far too expensive to be used as a protective measure by those business where it might be most effective. Therein plastic is used in place of bullet proof glass. They are either made by a manufacturer or by the shop owner. A pass-thru is also an open window, when it is too cold or too hot it may be covered with cardboard. This Pass-Thru was made by Rowland.
At some point basic utilities like electricity and water were services controlled by the state, because they relied so heavily on public infrastructure. More and more these flows are valved by private corporations. Someone sold these usable copper fittings in this bag to a scrap yard. They were bought back in the same bag. Copper has a function, its base material has an inherent value.

Catalytic converters are one of the most valuable scrapped car parts. They contain various combinations of Rhodium, Platinum, and Palladium that filter exhaust. Each model converter has a different value. This Volvo catalytic converter has been quoted at a $40 value by the author of the Book of Numbers and at a $6 value at a scrap yard. It was bought for $49.
In businesses where employees' time is one of the most valuable assets, the Handpunch time clock secures this time. Manufactured by Schlage (the American lock company) the Handpunch uses a biometric reading of employees right hand to inhibit false clock-ins and payment for false hours. Biometric recognition was developed to replace photography as a superior form of criminal indexing.


Once the producers began conducting research for the show–including interviews with more than one hundred women–they kept hearing the name Joanne Fleisher.
Fleisher has a popular website, Lavender Visions, which serves as a resource for women questioning their sexuality.
Fleisher, who had not seen that show, felt strongly that it was important for her to go so that she might reach isolated women viewers who may be unaware of the resources available to them. In 1979, while living with her husband of twelve years and their two children in the suburbs, her world changed when she found herself in love with another woman.
About four months after she left her husband, when she was 34, she met the woman who would become her long-term partner.
Fleisher's daughters were seven and nine at the time.
On the other hand, the despair of my most difficult life crisis -- the decision to leave my husband of 12 years for another woman -- changed my life forever, and I couldn't have done it without some very powerful and sustaining resolutions.
It was 1979, the year that Donna Summer topped the charts with "Hot Stuff," and I had fallen in love with a close female friend, had an extramarital affair, lied about it and broken my marriage vows. I discovered that I was capable of behaviors that were "not me." For the 12 years of my marriage, I had feared that there was something broken in me, that I was unable to fall in love, and now that was suddenly open to question. After all, I couldn't be a lesbian -- I was married to a man.
I was overwhelmed with guilt about deceiving and hurting the man I had grown up with since I was 13 years old, had married, and with whom I had raised our two daughters.
While we had the usual relationship problems of any marriage, he was loving (in his own way), a good provider and a kind, loyal husband.In late 2005, Joanne published her book producer asking for assistance in finding married women who are lesbians.Fleisher explained that they would have difficulty finding women currently married to men who would be willing to appear on TV if they're in the middle of figuring out their sexuality.We had been the iconic lesbian couple: an artist and a writer – teachers and activists. I had been deeply invested in my identity as a lesbian and in my identity as half of a loving, perfect partnership.After having been – as my mother put it – "boy crazy" in my teens and twenties, falling in love with a woman in my early thirties had been a revelation. Although this time, it wasn't for a divorce honeymoon but to marry this man – surrounded by our friends.It didn't work and it ended for all sorts of reasons. I couldn't eat or sleep, haunted by the thoughts going through my mind. It took me a few months of darkness and hours of therapy to see how being torn to the ground – as painful as it was – presented me with an opportunity to rebuild.women in the past. Still, it was exciting to be doing something totally different. I felt growing in me a kind of tenderness toward the world, an openness to trying new things. I read books and watched movies I would have pooh-poohed in the past.

Государственный музей изобразительных искусств Республики Татарстан (ГМИИ РТ) — одна из крупнейших сокровищниц искусства в России.

Создание Музея
Музей был создан по приказу Министерства культуры России в 1958 году на базе картинной галереи Государственного музея ТАССР. С 1967 года музей размещается в особняке начала XX века — бывшей резиденции командующего Казанским военным округом генерала А. Г. Сандецкого. Территория музея включает особняк, в котором размещены основные экспозиции, парк, здания фондохранилища, Ресурсный центр творческого развития детей и подростков, научный архив, конференц-зал. Структурными подразделениями ГМИИ РТ стали: с 2005 — Национальная художественная галерея «Хазинэ», расположенная в Казанском Кремле, а с 2009 года — Галерея современного искусства ГМИИ РТ. В 2016 году на базе ГМИИ РТ открылся первый в России Культурно-выставочный центр Русского музея, в структуру которого входят Ресурсный центр творческого развития детей и подростков и информационно-образовательный центр «Русский музей: виртуальный филиал».

Направления деятельности музея

 Экспозиционно-выставочная деятельность.
 Научно-фондовая деятельность, реставрация.
 Научная и научно-методическая деятельность.
 Издательская деятельность.
 Культурно-образовательная деятельность.

Структурные подразделения ГМИИ РТ
 Национальная художественная галерея «Хазинэ» (с 2005 г.) Здание расположено в Казанском Кремле. В постоянной экспозиции представлены произведения декоративно-прикладного искусства, живописи, графики, скульптуры, созданные художниками Казани, Казанской губернии, Республики Татарстан в XIX—XXI вв. Здесь также можно увидеть произведения советского периода. «Жемчужинами» коллекции являются произведения Н. Фешина (среди них «Портрет Вари Адоратской» (1914) и «Обливание» (1914 (?)), П. Бенькова, П. Радимова, В. Тимофеева; коллекция казанского авангарда 1910—1930-х годов, включающая работы К. Чеботарева, И. Плещинского, Ф. Тагирова и др.; работы Б. Урманче, Х. Якупова, И. Зарипова и др.
 Галерея современного искусства ГМИИ РТ (с 2009 г.) Уникальное здание построенное архитектором Германом Бакулиным в 1978 году, один из важнейших центров художественной жизни Поволжья. Общая экспозиционная площадь — 2500 кв.м. Здесь в основном представляются коллекции современных художников, открыта фотогалерея, проводятся мастер-классы, творческие встречи, работают клубы по интересам.
 Ресурсный Центр творческого развития детей и подростков с различными социальными и физическими возможностями. Центр был открыт в 2008 году в результате реализации совместного проекта Союза музеев России, Фонда Б. Н. Ельцина, Государственного русского музея и Государственного музея изобразительных искусств РТ. Основой Центра стал школьный сектор, работающий в музее с 1970 года. С 2016 года Центр входит в структуру Культурно-выставочного центра Русского музея в Казани.

Коллекции музея
Ныне коллекции музея насчитывают около 25 тысяч произведений живописи, графики, скульптуры, декоративно-прикладного искусства. Особую ценность представляют памятники древнерусской иконописи второй половины XVI века из Успенского собора г. Свияжска, произведения ранней европейской гравюры XV—XVI веков М. Шонгауэра, А. Дюрера, Луки Лейденского, М. Раймонди и др., крупнейшее в нашей стране собрание произведений Николая Ивановича Фешина, коллекция живописи и графики И. И. Шишкина, собрание произведений русского авангарда начала XX века, наследие народного художника РСФСР Баки Идрисовича Урманче.

Фестиваль «Джаз в усадьбе Сандецкого»
Ежегодный летний музыкальный фестиваль под открытым небом «Jazz в усадьбе Сандецкого» проводится в парке музея с 2007 года. Продолжительность фестиваля составляет два месяца: июль-август. Концерты проходят еженедельно, по четвергам. Музыкальный директор фестиваля — Ольга Скепнер.

Стилистика казанского джазового форума многообразна: каждый концертный вечер отводится определенному музыкальному направлению — от мейнстрима до авангарда. С момента открытия на фестивале побывали с выступлениями музыканты, представляющие цвет российской и зарубежной джазовой культуры.

С 2007 года фестиваль переехал в Казанский Кремль и сейчас носит название "Джаз в Кремле".

The eVirtual Lab® is an interactive environment for creating and conducting simulated experiments. It's a playground for experimentation. eVirtualLab ® has an Interactive tutorials and hands-on activities for Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry. It will help students learn difficult concepts effective and easily.
eVirtualLab® originated from academic work in computer simulation and software design at eFutureSoft® . It has continued to be developed with extensive input from educators interested in the possible application of computer simulations for Classroom and Distance learning.
eVirtualLab® is a unique product incorporating both an interactive simulation and a lab notebook workspace with separate areas for theory, procedures and student observations. Commonly used lab equipment and procedures are used to simulate the steps involved in performing an experiment. Users step-through the actual lab procedure while interacting with animated equipment in a way that is similar to the real lab experience.
eVirtualLab® comes with a range of pre-designed lab experiments for general Mathematics and Physics and Chemistry at the high school and college level.
Is Virtual Labs replace "real world labs"?
Virtual labs should not completely replace the real lab, because students may miss out on the hands on experience that could be a value in later education. However, virtual labs can enhance those experiences. By performing a virtual lab on the material before a "real world" lab it allows students to make mistakes without fear of not getting the experiment done right.
Furthermore, virtual labs can present abstract ideas that may not normally be easily viewed. For example, when learning about gas laws it may be hard to visualize what is actually occurring at the microscopic level, but with use of a simulation the interactions can be made visible and tangible.
The challenge is to introduce new computer technology to our curriculum, or bring the lab experience to on-line students or a need for an alternative to dangerous, expensive or environmentally hazardous labs, then eVirtualLab® is the classroom proven solution for you.


David Wilcock is one of the most fascinating and credible paranormal researchers of today. For the last several years, David has been discussing the transformations, which his research indicates are going to happen leading up to and after the year 2012.
Currently, we are in the midst of a great transition, as is evidenced by the turmoil that we are seeing all around us every day. David Wilcock believes that this transition will actually be a positive transition, contrary to what many alternative researchers believe.
If what David says is true, we are about to embark upon a great journey, which will change every aspect of our lives, including the way we go about our day to day lives, as well as speeding up the pace of change, which is basically increasing the speed of time.

Qatar W.C 2022 - Achraf Hakimi and Morocco into history with a slot in quarters
Sixteen years after 1970, Morocco returned to Mexican soil to become the first African team to cross the first round of a World final phase by finishing as the head of its group after beating Portugal 3-1.
On December 6 2022, The Atlas Lions of Hakim Ziyech beat Spain on penalties to reach the quarter-finals of Qatar 2022 and set up a clash with Christiano Ronaldo's Portugal.
When Achraf Hakimi stepped up to take the decisive penalty tonight, he was not only bearing the hopes of a country but the weight of his past too. For Hakimi, who plays for Paris Saint-Germain, was born in Madrid, Spain, in 1998 to Moroccan parents. He even joined Real Madrid's youth setup in 2006 from Colonia Ofigevi at eight years old, then in the early part of his career. But he chose to represent Morocco at the international level right from the U-20 level.
The odds were stacked against Morocco while facing the 2010 World Cup champions Spain. Both teams were closely matched throughout a tense game, with Spain having more of the ball but Morocco creating the better openings.
The last African and Arab side left standing at the first World Cup held in an Arab country, Morocco were intensely backed and their fans greatly outnumbered Spain's.
Morocco were closest to scoring in extra-time, testing Simon, who made a fine save with his legs to deny Walid Cheddira after he broke down Spain's left flank. Despite pressure from Spain in the final moments before penalties, they could only manage to hit the post. The match stayed 0-0 at the end of the extra-time.
Having been sent on for the shoot-out, Pablo Sarabia struck the post from Spain's first penalty, after Abdelhamid Sabiri put Morocco ahead. Carlos Soler and Sergio Busquets were foiled by Yassine Bounou, while Hakim Ziyech scored, and Simon denied Badr Benoun, before Hakimi netted a chipped 'Panenka' penalty against the country of his birth to ignite wild celebrations.
After the match, Hakimi went on to hug his mother in the stands.
In 1986, Badou Zaki, Mustapha El Haddaoui, Aziz Bouderbala, Mohamed Timoumi and Abdelkrim Merry Krimau, to say the least, led coach José Faria's team past Portugal and into African football history. Their next clash with the same nation could be one for the ages.

Discussion in 'Windows XP' started by mbibby, Jan 28, 2006.
Greetings. i've finally found a problem I need help with. I use Explorer to manage files. Lately I have an error message when I try to delete files. I receive an error message "Error Deleting File or Folder: Cannot delete filename.ext: Cannot find specified path.
Strangely, I can delete from the Recycle Bin.
System: Homebuilt with AMD processor, 2 optical drives, 1 floppy drive, 2 HDs, 20GB each.
Operating System: Windows XP Home, SP2 is my default. I also have Win2000 Pro on the other drive. Incidentally, I do not have the problem with Win2K.
Software: Antivirus is TrendMicro PC-cillin. Has firewall and automatic updates. Runs daily and also checks all incoming e-mail.
Antispyware is Microsoft's AntiSpyware. Does automatic updates. Has not found anything of late because I rarely download stuff, especially freeware.
Have Office 2000, WinZip, Acrobat 3.0, some photo management software and other bland stuff.
How full is the HD.
Might clear some room if you are running out of space. Also delete some temp files.
If having a problem with the deletion of a file on occasion, try using MoveOnBoot. If this is a constant problem, you may have another issue going on.
As I said, two HDs.
The Win XP drive is - give or take - 60% full.
The Win2K drive is 50% full.
Both drives have been defragged recently and I've never had a drive error of any kind. The problem occurs with Win XP on either drive.
Not likely a drive problem because it only occurs when I boot with Win XP. Win2k works fine on both drives. In fact, that's how I am coping with the problem. I just drag all my discarded files and folders to a folder named "Trash", then when I'm using Win2k I delete everything in that folder.
MoveOnBoot does not sound like the solution. This is not an occasional problem - very persistent.
Okay, two opererating systems, this sounds like it may be an ownership problem. Try taking ownership of the problem files.
Tried taking ownership, but no success. There is only one user - me - and I have all administrative priviledges.
Keep in mind the system worked OK as is for a long time. Apparently something either corrupted a file or changed a default.

Chapel Hill Town Council approves bonds for up to $98 million to fund Rams Club projects

The Chapel Hill Town Council unanimously approved up to $98 million in bonds Wednesday to fund old and new athletic construction projects on UNC's campus.
Kristen Kirby represented McGuireWoods, the firm working with The Rams Club to establish the bonds, at the Town Council meeting on Wednesday.
The bond is essentially a loan approved by the Town of Chapel Hill that will provide The Rams Club the funds for improving UNC athletic facilities through BB&T bank. The Rams Club will have to pay back the money it receives from the Town with interest.
"We're here before you tonight because the federal tax code requires that there be an approval in principle of the issuance of the bonds by the highest elected body having jurisdiction over the issuer and over the location of the project," Kirby said at the meeting.
Additionally, she said the town approving the issuance of the bonds doesn't have an impact on the town's liability and isn't necessarily an endorsement of the bonds.
The Educational Foundation, Inc., more commonly known as The Rams Club, previously had interim construction financing from BB&T and now will convert to permanent financing through the issuance of these tax-exempt bonds. BB&T will purchase the bonds immediately after they're issued, according to a letter McGuireWoods submitted on behalf of The Rams Club to the town.
The type of tax-exempt bonds being issued are commonly issued by municipal, county or state governments for infrastructure projects like school buildings and roads.
The Rams Club is a nonprofit whose mission is "to offer financial aid to worthy young men and women seeking an education at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and to support University programs by providing services and funds for the construction of facilities or purchase of equipment."
Diane Aldridge, chief financial officer and general counsel for The Rams Club, confirmed the bonds are tax-exempt because federal tax law allows nonprofit entities with a 501(c)(3) letter to borrow on a tax-exempt basis.
"BB&T will be issuing the bonds at a tax-exempt rate, which means the interest rate on the bonds will be slightly lower than if it were a taxable rate," said Aldridge.
The interest rate for a bond is the additional amount The Rams Club will pay back in exchange for receiving the money now.
The money from the bonds will be used to pay off current lines of credit for completed or in-progress projects and to fund future projects, Aldridge said.
Over the past few years, The Rams Club has started construction on projects, such as a new indoor practice field on Ridge Road, a new field hockey stadium on the former Ehringhaus Field site, a new soccer and lacrosse stadium on the current Fetzer Field site and a track complex and various athletic fields adjacent to Finley Golf Course.
"We're financing every project that was on that list," said Aldridge. "We have existing taxable lines of credit out right now on most of those projects, so the bond proceeds will, number one, take out the taxable lines of credit we have, and then secondly, provide us with the money necessary to complete the projects that are still being constructed."
Katie Loovis is vice president of external affairs for the Chapel Hill-Carrboro Chamber of Commerce and a former UNC women's lacrosse player. She spoke at the Town Council meeting and strongly supported the issuance of the bonds.
"Helping make this happen with this low-interest possibility is a benefit to not just the University and the student-athletes, but our community," she said.
The bonds are expected to be issued within the first quarter of 2019.

So you got a bad review, but what can you do about it? One of the things that you can do is to ask the person who wrote it to change it. This needs to be handled carefully, but when done right, you can turn an unhappy customer into a company advocate. However, before you ask someone to change their review, there are a few things you must do first.
The most important thing you must do is to read the review and truly try to understand the customer's point of view. While they might not be correct about a policy you may have or may have misunderstood an advertisement that seemed quite clear, you will gain no favor from them by pointing that out. Once you have tried to understand them, try to also understand their motivation… do they just want to vent, or are they looking for you to try to help them in some way, or perhaps they are trying to educate you about something.
Now it's time to reply. You want your reply to include three things. First, let them know that you are aware of their concern and that you empathize with them. Next, let them know you are working to fix the problem (to whatever extent that is possible – you do not need to fix things that are truly not your fault). Finally, you want to let them know that you are taking steps to make sure that this never happens again.
I want to make sure you are satisfied. Is there anything else I can do to make things right?
I'm sorry we didn't provide you with a good experience with us. We work hard to, but sometimes we fail and when we do, we admit it. I want you to know that I appreciate you giving us an opportunity to make things right. Your first review describing our mistake was completely fair. Would you be willing to share an update now that we've resolved things?
You've been good to us and we do appreciate that.
PS – No worries if you can't.
Some people will never forgive you no matter what you do. But try this approach, and you may discover that some of the seemingly most unsatisfied people write a stellar update and change your rating from a 1 star to a 5 star.
