Waukegan woman charged with reckless homicide for running over friend after argument, authorities say
Mass request to drop convictions related to disgraced Chicago police sergeant results in dismissal of five cases
By Megan Crepeau
In an expansive joint effort this summer, attorneys for 88 people with convictions related to disgraced ex-Chicago police Sgt. Ronald Watts filed petitions asking that those cases be thrown out.
It was a bold move, seemingly intended to force Cook County prosecutors to announce a decision on the cases after prosecutors' ongoing review of such convictions had, in the view of some Watts accusers' attorneys, stalled out.
On Thursday, prosecutors gave Judge Erica Reddick a formal response: They would not oppose the effort to dismiss five of those cases.
The fate of the remaining convictions is not immediately clear. Prosecutors, upon further review, could agree that more should be dismissed. If they do not, that sets the stage for a series of contested hearings about whether those convictions should stand.

Attorney Joshua Tepfer represents all five of the men whose cases were dismissed along with 55 other people whose convictions remain in question. His reaction was mixed, he said after court.
"Today, five of the innocent were exonerated and I don't want to take away the very special feeling that those five men have … we're very, very happy for them," Tepfer said. "That said, we have 55 other clients who have been literally waiting for their justice for 15 to 20 years and since this review (of Watts' cases) has started many have waited for two, three or four years."
State's Attorney Kim Foxx released a statement after the hearing, saying the five exonerations represent "a step toward righting the wrongs of the past and giving these individuals their names back."
But Thursday's hearing — and the effort on behalf of the 88 petitioners — represent a significant change in the way Watts' cases have been handled at the Leighton Criminal Court Building.
Foxx's office has been reviewing Watts' convictions for years. In 2017, they announced the county's first-ever mass exoneration, clearing out 18 Watts-related convictions and promising an ongoing assessment of such cases.
Watts and his crew of tactical officers have been accused of orchestrating a reign of terror at the now-razed Ida B. Wells public housing complex on the South Side, systematically forcing residents and drug dealers alike to pay a "protection" tax and putting bogus cases on those who refused to do so.
In all, more than 100 Watts-related convictions have been tossed out. Attorneys for the accusers have been presenting potentially eligible cases to Cook County prosecutors for their review, and until this year, petitioners' attorneys and prosecutors had presented a largely united public front. The most recent "mass exoneration," clearing out nine cases, was in February of this year.
But a few months later, Tepfer said Foxx's office was not adequately following through on their promises of an aggressive review of Watts' cases, and were fighting to uphold convictions that Tepfer maintains are fatally flawed.
The prosecutors' office has said that each case needs to be assessed on an individual basis, a process that takes significant time and effort, and in response to Tepfer's comments this year a spokeswoman strongly disputed any claim that the office's review had been stalled.
Attorneys filed their petitions representing the 88 Watts accusers in July. The overwhelming majority of those cases had already been presented to prosecutors for review, they said Thursday.
Tepfer said they are prepared to take the cases to contested hearings if prosecutors do not agree that the convictions should be dismissed, but noted that it may be difficult for prosecutors to present witnesses in those hearings, given that the office has said they will not call to the stand certain officers connected to Watts given questions about their credibility.
"It's wonderful that these five are getting justice, I'm glad that the state's attorney is proud of that," attorney Joel Flaxman, who represents 28 of the 88 petitioners, told reporters Thursday. "For the other 83 people, we can't be celebrating, we're still waiting, we're still seeing delays in having their cases heard and adjudicated ... we want to see some action on all fronts."
Clarissa Glenn, whose Watts-related conviction was one of the first to be thrown out back in March 2016, had strong words in comments to reporters after Thursday's hearing.
"Shame on Chicago, shame on the system. We are humans, you guys," Glenn said. "Chicago represents injustice and it's painful and hurtful. No one is still listening, no one is still helping and we stand alone.
"That is in response to everyone … from Kim Foxx's office moving down to (the police station at) 51st and Wentworth," she said. "Whoever is listening — shame."
In case after case, when Watts' targets have complained — to the Police Department or in court — judges, prosecutors and internal affairs investigators all believed the testimony of Watts and other officers over their accusers, records show.
The cases also highlighted a broken system of police discipline that allegedly protected corrupt officers and punished those who tried to expose his corruption. Despite mounting allegations, Watts continued to operate for years amid a lengthy police internal affairs probe as well as investigations by the state's attorney's office and the FBI, according to court records.
In fact, two Chicago police officers who alleged they were blackballed for trying to expose Watts' corruption years ago won a $2 million settlement in their whistleblower lawsuit.
When Watts was finally caught, it was on relatively minor federal charges. He wound up being sentenced to 22 months in prison.
Meanwhile, in March of this year, investigators with the Civilian Office of Police Accountability completed their probe of the Watts matter and delivered a final report to Superintendent David Brown's office. The report has not yet been made public, and at least one Watts accuser has sued for its release.

When you could have songs from mixed genres it brings about an ethereal dynamism that hits the right notes with tender romantic moments. You can select a mixture of rock love songs, pop love songs, R&B love songs, indie love songs, and country love songs to add fervor to your playlist. Guys don't count on one thing extravagant from their girls.
The only thing he knows best is taking you out to eat and it's now a boring gesture. I really feel like breaking up with him however in a pleasant means. I even have tried to inform him how l feel about it but nothing has modified. Sade's voice is made for lovemaking music, plain and easy.
I feel like our love isn't genuine as a result of we both have indifferences. My final relationship was okay, it was way more than ok until we broke up. With my current guy l feel like we're having compelled conversations and l feel so bored a lot of the occasions.
A considerate selection of songs will evoke an emotional response out of your boyfriend. It is smart to have songs with a robust lyrical message about love in your playlist. Love songs with soul-stirring lyrics typically take the listener on a nostalgic journey. They'll bring up the beautiful recollections of moments spent collectively up to now. Play songs that talk a language acceptable of your relationship.
Here's How Men And Women Show Love Differently, According To Research
Even some little underwear I left after I was over there. Currently l am dating a man l am having lots of issues with.
Do not get too loud and preachy with your choice of songs. And stated he'd been tremendous emotional about me for days after our vulnerable evening. And he mentioned he had all these fears of having an extended distance relationship.
(Been there, girls.) Whichever way you slice it, some days, you just need all of the feels.
In fact, one examine published in Psychology of Music showed that girls who had been exposed to like songs had been more likely to offer their phone number to a potential suitor than those that weren't.
In love music you will take pleasure in romantic music, love music, greatest ballads, love songs, words of affection and love quotes of the most effective romantic songs of all time with free music.
The easy issues in life convey lots of joy and pleasure. A surefire approach to melt your boyfriend's coronary heart is with music. Dedicating a playlist of affection songs to your boyfriend is an enamoring method to specific your love in your boyfriend.
It I am nonetheless his only friend and his person to speak to. And he's going via the worst time of his life. But by no means in my life have I been so positive someone loved and cherished me. Even after my very worst breakdown a pair weeks in the past. To inform me he would hold all the special issues and notes and playing cards I had drawn.
You can embody certain songs from his favourite bands or singers. However, you must keep in mind that it's received to be your alternative of songs that bring tender and romantic moments alive. It is wise to pick songs from completely different genres if you get down to creating a playlist of affection songs.
And I asked if he thought he wanted to do that on his personal?? He asked for movies of songs I had written for him. I asked if he might nonetheless give me a very special birthday current for me.
Her voice soars above this hair-elevating avalanche of sound made by 21 musicians and 21 backup singers—in what seems like two gospel songs taking part in over a timpani follow. It's Spector's masterpiece, but without Tina, this could just as simply have been one other cute Bob B. Soxx & the Blue Jeans tune. As Pet Sounds also proved in 1966, it could possibly take a hell of a lot of ache to fuel an eternal love song. You may have a good concept of the type of music your boyfriend likes.
For example, if you love the attention you get from the second particular person however don't see yourself having a future with them, maybe you just need extra attention out of your current associate. Alternatively, consider whether or not you need a polyamorous relationship with both people on the identical time. Whichever choice you make, think about telling your present companion about your feelings in order that they know how you are feeling.

Her voice oozes sensuality in a way that most never can, and in terms of her songs? They are romantic and as hyper-sexual as you can get with out going into smutty territory.

Two razor clam populations from two shores in North Wales were identified on morphological grounds as Ensis siliqua (L.) and E. ensis (L.). Ensis siliqua occurs in fine sand on the exposed south-westerly facing shore of Newborough beach, whilst E. ensis inhabits the coarser sediment of Penmon beach, a sheltered north-easterly facing shore in the Menai Strait. At Penmon smaller E. ensis (<100 mm) inhabited sediments at mean low water of spring fides, whereas larger individuals (>100 mm) occurred almost subtidally at extreme low water springs. No small E. siliqua (<110 mm) were found on Newborough beach, where there has been a noticeable decline between 1990 and 1992 in the number of individuals larger than 175 mm. Growth of the two species was different. The von Bertalanffy growth constant, k, was similar in the two species, but E. siliqua had a larger asymptotic length than E. ensis.

Best Before and After: Coastal Cottage Reinvented
This house must have been very good in its previous life. Following a renovation reincarnation, it definitely came back as something better. Have a look at how good Karma can be.
By Todd Childs
Charles Walton IV
Each year our Southern Home Awards judging presents us with the challenge of determining the best. Sometimes it's easy. Great at first glance, this Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, cottage was the obvious choice for the cleverest conversion of sagging style. Architect Ankie Barnes took a light-handed approach to incorporating coastal cues resulting in the Cherner family's ideal getaway and the pinnacle of seaside sophistication.
Fresh Faced
When Andy and Abby Cherner discovered their retreat, it was a rather forlorn neo-Williamsburg cottage with about as much curb appeal as the curb itself. However, situated among mature trees in a quiet neighborhood within walking distance of the beach, its potential was evident. They called on Ankie, a family friend, to craft a shingle-style cottage from the existing structure. "This is a private yet generous family," Ankie muses, "so my idea was to create a home that was both sheltering and welcoming." He achieved this balance with the addition of a wide, hospitable front porch. French doors replace the small windows across the front of the house, admitting light to the interior and imparting a more Southern effect. "I shuttered the doors as a sort of Tidewater gesture," Ankie adds. He broke the heaviness of the double-pitched roof with four dormers. They visually lighten the large expanse of roof, giving the house a greater sense of height and presence.
The original foyer set the tone for the rest of the house: small, dark, and cramped. Ankie removed the wall that separated the foyer from the living room, replacing it with a wide arch that mimics a second arch leading to the dining room beyond. The arches leave the dimensions of the rooms intact, still allow for crown molding, and help keep the eye moving up and over, disguising the low 8-foot ceilings.
The last 10 treads of the stairway were widened to create a splayed effect that draws interest up into the stairwell, where a dormer window floods the space with light. The newel post is the first of many visual cues that establish a nautical theme throughout the house, reflecting the family's love of sailing. "The newel post was designed to refer to a lighthouse but not be a model of one," Ankie explains. "The rest of the house displays a number of referential and actual nautical gestures." These come in the form of features such as porthole windows salvaged from decommissioned ships. These perfectly unexpected touches mention the theme without screaming it.
"Coastal Cottage Reinvented" is from the October 2008 issue of Southern Living.

Opel Automobile GmbH, vaak afgekort tot Opel, is een van oorsprong Duitse autofabriek, die sinds 2021 in handen is van het multinationale autoconcern Stellantis. In 1862 werd het bedrijf opgericht door Adam Opel en pas in 1899 werd de eerste auto van het merk geproduceerd. Sinds de omzetting in een Aktiengesellschaft in 1929 behoorde Opel tot de General Motors-groep. Als gevolg hiervan zijn Opel-modellen ook bij andere merken van General Motors te vinden, zoals Vauxhall (Verenigd Koninkrijk) (vanaf eind jaren 70), Holden (Australië en Nieuw-Zeeland) en Chevrolet (onder andere Latijns-Amerika). Ook van drie voorgaande merken zijn af en toe modellen bij Opel te vinden.

Met 38.000 werknemers in 2016, verspreid over tien fabrieken in Europa, worden per jaar ruim 1 miljoen voertuigen geproduceerd. Opel/Vauxhall heeft in Europa een marktaandeel van iets minder dan 6%. Opel is een van de grootste autofabrikanten in Europa.

Activiteiten
In 2016 verkocht Opel ongeveer 1,2 miljoen voertuigen (2015: circa 1,14 miljoen). Opel beschikt over tien fabrieken en drie ontwikkel- en testcentra in zeven Europese landen. Het telde in het jaar 2016 38.000 medewerkers, waarvan 19.000 in Duitsland. In de Zaragoza fabriek in Spanje werden in 2016 meer dan 360.000 voertuigen geproduceerd en dit was de grootste productielocatie van Opel. In Duitsland liepen 260.000 voertuigen van de band. In de twee fabrieken in Engeland, Ellesmere Port en Luton, bleef de productie iets onder de 200.000 voertuigen steken. In Polen werden ook 200.000 voertuigen gemaakt.

De personenauto's en lichte bedrijfswagens, inclusief die van Vauxhall, worden in meer dan vijftig landen verkocht. De grootste afzetmarkten van Opel/Vauxhall zijn het Verenigd Koninkrijk, Duitsland en Italië, hier werden in 2016 meer dan 650.000 voertuigen verkocht. In België en Nederland lagen de verkopen op zo'n 40.000 voertuigen. In Europa had Opel/Vauxhall een marktaandeel van 5,7% in 2016.

Geschiedenis

Oprichting door Adam Opel
Adam Opel was de oudste zoon van Philipp Wilhelm Opel, een slotenmaker uit Rüsselsheim. Na een stage in het bedrijf van zijn vader reisde Opel als gezel naar onder meer Luik, Brussel en Parijs, waarna hij, samen met zijn broer Georg, in de naaimachinefabriek Journaux & Leblond aan de slag ging. In 1862 werkte hij in de naaimachinefabriek van Huguenin & Reimann, maar in de herfst van datzelfde jaar keerde hij terug naar de werkplaats van zijn vader om te beginnen aan de productie van de eerste Opel-naaimachine.

In het voorjaar van 1863 begon Adam Opel als zelfstandige in een voormalige koeienstal. Georg, die in Parijs gebleven was, zorgde voor al het nodige staal, naalden en haken. De productie van naaimachines nam echter veel tijd in beslag, waardoor Opel onder meer ook wijnkurkmachines en naaimachines van het bedrijf Plaz & Rexroth uit Parijs verkocht. In 1864 kwamen ook Londense naaimachines, met het octrooi van Elias Howe, in het aanbod van Opel.

In 1868 trad Adam Opel in het huwelijk met ondernemersdochter Sophie Marie Scheller. Zij maakte de oprichting van een heuse Opel-naaimachinefabriek mogelijk. Na het overlijden van Adam in 1895 besloten zijn weduwe Sophie en hun vijf zonen Carl, Wilhelm, Heinrich, Fritz en Ludwig om de onderneming voort te zetten.

Pas in 1900 werd duidelijk dat er geen toekomst meer zat in de productie van naaimachines. In 38 jaar tijd werden door Opel meer dan een miljoen naaimachines geproduceerd en verkocht. De verkoop daalde plots drastisch waardoor de laatste Opel-naaimachines tegen zeer lage prijzen werden verkocht aan groothandel en overzeese klanten.

Productie van fietsen
In 1886 overtuigden zijn vijf zoons Opel om de allereerste Opel-fiets te produceren, een hoge bi. In 1898 produceerden de 1200 werknemers in de Opel-fabriek reeds 25.000 naaimachines en 15.000 fietsen. De fabrieksbrand in 1911 legde de productie lam, maar in 1912 werd de productie van fietsen reeds hernomen.

Het succes van de vijf zoons in de wielersport betekende meteen ook een succes voor de productie en verkoop van de fietsen. In de jaren '20 werd Opel zo de grootste fietsproducent ter wereld. In 1936 werd de fietsproductie verkocht aan NSU waardoor er in de Opelfabriek enkel nog gemotoriseerde voertuigen van de band rolden.

Motorfietsen

Van 1902 tot 1907 en van 1910 tot 1932 werden door het merk ook motorfietsen geproduceerd. In 1928 begon de laatste motorfietsperiode toen Opel de Elite-Diamant fabriek kocht.

Begin in de automobielsector

In 1898, drie jaar na het overlijden van vader Adam die nooit wagens wilde en zou produceren, begonnen zijn zoons met de bouw van hun eerste wagen. In 1899 kochten ze hiervoor de Anhaltische Motorwagenfabrik van Friedrich Lutzmann. Ze benoemden hem wel tot directeur van de autoproductie en brachten zo de Opel Patentmotorwagen "System Lutzmann" op de markt, de allereerste wagen van Opel. De samenwerking met Lutzmann zou uiteindelijk slechts twee jaar duren.

In het begin werd voornamelijk geëxperimenteerd met carrosserie- en motor-varianten. Door een gebrek aan middelen om de inmiddels hoogtechnologische Franse wagenproducenten bij te houden, werd de productie van een nieuwe wagen uitgesteld. In 1902 werd uiteindelijk een samenwerkingscontract afgesloten met Darracq. Tevens kwam in datzelfde jaar de eerste wagen op de markt die volledig onafhankelijk door Opel werd geproduceerd, de Opel 10/12 PS. Deze had een 1.9-liter twinmotor. Tijdens de samenwerking met Darracq werden wagens op de markt gebracht onder de naam Opel-Darracq.

Toen Carl Jörns in 1907 met een wagen met 60pk de Kaiserpreis won, werd Opel door Wilhelm II benoemd tot hofleverancier. Het duurde echter nog tot 1909 tot de eerste relatief betaalbare wagen voor het gewone volk op de markt kwam. De tweezits-cabriolet kreeg door het grote gebruik door huisartsen al snel de bijnaam "Doktorwagen".

In 1911 werd de oorspronkelijke fabriek verwoest door een brand. Bij de heropbouw werd gekozen voor de nieuwste technologieën waardoor Opel in 1914 de grootste Duitse producent was van gemotoriseerde voertuigen.

Na de Eerste Wereldoorlog
Ten zuiden van Rüsselsheim werd in 1919 een testbaan aangelegd voor de nieuwste modellen. Het was de allereerste race- en testbaan in Duitsland die ook uitsluitend voor deze proeven werd gebruikt. Het zou echter nog vijf jaar duren voor deze op grote schaal werd gebruikt. In 1924 investeerde Opel namelijk meer dan een miljoen Reichsmark in een totale modernisering waardoor ook lijnproductie mogelijk werd. Met een marktaandeel van 37,5 procent was Opel ook in 1928 nog steeds de grootste autoproducent van Duitsland.

Uiteindelijk werd in 1929 besloten om voor net iets minder dan 26 miljoen Amerikaanse dollar 80 procent van de aandelen te verkopen aan General Motors. GM werd hiermee meteen de grootste aandeelhouder binnen de onderneming. Twee jaar later kochten ze ook de resterende 20 procent op.

In 1935 slaagt Opel er als eerste Duitse automerk in om 100.000 wagens van hetzelfde model te verkopen en in 1940 produceerden ze de één miljoenste auto, een Opel Kapitän. Kort daarna werd de productie van de personenwagens door het nazi-regime stilgelegd. De productie van de in 1930 geïntroduceerde lichte vrachtwagen Opel Blitz werd echter grootschalig ingezet voor de Duitse oorlogsdoelen.

Na de Tweede Wereldoorlog
Bommen van de geallieerden vernietigden in 1944 de fabriek in Rüsselsheim volledig. Ook de fabriek in Brandenburg an der Havel werd door een geallieerd bombardement verwoest. Het duurde tot 1946 voor de productie van Opel weer op gang kwam, in de vorm van de Opel Blitz.

Een nieuwe passagierswagen kwam een jaar later uit en zou de naam Opel Olympia krijgen. Tegelijkertijd werd ook begonnen met de productie van koelkasten onder de naam "Frigidaire". De Opel Post, een werknemerstijdschrift, werd in 1949 voor het eerst uitgegeven en bestaat tot op heden nog steeds. Het is daarmee een van de oudste nog bestaande interne communicatiemiddelen.

In 1950 ging de vernieuwde fabriek van Rüsselsheim open. Alleen de Olympia en Kapitän werden destijds opnieuw in productie genomen. Alle andere modellen werden elders geproduceerd.

1960-1980: Opel wordt opnieuw marktleider

Ook in Bochum werd een fabriek geopend om de productie nog meer te spreiden. Deze fabriek zou de Opel Kadett, waarvan in de jaren 30 al twee modelvarianten waren uitgekomen, helemaal vernieuwen. De Kadett B werd in 1967 het eerste Opel-model dat meer dan één miljoen keer werd verkocht.

In het voorjaar van 1964 kreeg de Kapitän er twee broertjes bij, de Opel Admiral en de Opel Diplomat. In de jaren 60 stond dit trio bekend als "de grote drie" of het "KAD-trio" (Kapitän-Admiral-Diplomat). De Opel Manta en de Opel Ascona vervolledigden in 1970 het rijtje en met 3,2 miljoen geproduceerde auto's was het een van de meest succesvolle generaties die Opel gekend heeft. Ook tijdens de rest van de jaren '70 was Opel nog in volle bloei. Door de jaren heen werd het merk al wel ingehaald door Volkswagen als de allergrootste van Duitsland, maar in bepaalde marktsegmenten bleef Opel marktleider.

1980-2008: Terugval op de markt
Door de Irak-Iranoorlog stegen aan het begin van de jaren 80 de olieprijzen enorm. Hierdoor kwam Opel voor het eerst sinds 1950 weer in rode cijfers. Tot en met 1990 werd alleen de vierde generatie Kadett met geruststellende cijfers verkocht. De wagens aan het einde van de jaren 80 werden als te weinig innovatief beschouwd ten opzichte van marktleider Volkswagen en kenden veel kwaliteitsproblemen. Deze problemen staan bekend als het López-effect, wat verwijst naar destijds CEO José Ignacio López de Arriortúa. De Opel Omega en de Opel Astra leken door hun verkoopcijfers het tij aanvankelijk te keren, maar door diverse terugroepingen liep het imago van Opel een flinke deuk op. Na de overstap van López naar Volkswagen werd hij ervan verdacht belangrijke plannen van Opel meegenomen te hebben naar Volkswagen. Dit alles maakte het begin van de jaren 90 tot de meest onsuccesvolle periode uit de Opel-geschiedenis.

Door een onstabiele economie moest ook Opel aan het begin van de 21e eeuw aan zowel capaciteit als werkkrachten inboeten om uit de rode cijfers te blijven. In Bochum resulteerde dit in een daling 23.000 naar 6.000 medewerkers. Op 7 december 2005 veranderde Opel, door niet beursgenoteerd te zijn, van een naamloze vennootschap in een Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung.

2008-2016: Financiële crisis en mislukte splitsing

Op 27 februari 2009 werd door GM een voorstel gedaan aan Opel om een "zelfstandige Europese business unit" op te richten, samen met Vauxhall, dit om ontslagen en sluitingen te voorkomen. De unit zou wel onderdeel blijven uitmaken van het GM-concern. De Belgische investeringsmaatschappij RJH International en een consortium rond Magna toonden interesse. Op 30 mei 2009 werd een deal gesloten met de Canadese producent van auto-onderdelen Magna en de Russische staatsbank Sberbank. De Duitse regering gaf hieraan de voorkeur omdat dit het minste aantal banen in Duitsland zou kosten. Magna wil de fabriek in Antwerpen sluiten en een deel van de productie in Zaragoza overhevelen naar Duitsland. De overheid was bereid voor 4,5 miljard euro aan staatssteun te geven, op voorwaarde dat Opel zou worden verkocht aan het consortium van Magna. Europees Commissaris Neelie Kroes betwijfelde of de Duitse overheid bij de redding van autobouwer Opel wel de Europese regels volgde. Voldeed de staatssteun hier niet aan, dan zou de normale Europese regeling in werking treden en zou Opel capaciteit moeten verminderen. Op 3 november van datzelfde jaar liet GM weten Opel te behouden. De verbeterende marktomstandigheden en het belang van Opel voor de internationale strategie van GM lagen hieraan ten grondslag. Onder druk van commissaris Kroes liet de Duitse overheid kort daarvoor weten dat de steun niet afhankelijk was van de eigenaar van Opel. GM kwam hier ook voor in aanmerking aangezien het Opel niet verkocht. Om Opel levend te houden, zouden ontslagen en sluitingen van Opel-fabrieken volgen, waaronder de fabriek te Antwerpen. Aan het begin van 2011 werd Opel opnieuw een nv.

Begin 2014 trok Opel zich terug uit de Chinese markt. Opel was al 20 jaar actief in deze markt, maar niet echt succesvol. Opel was slechts een kleine partij en verkocht in 2013 iets meer dan vierduizend auto's in het land. Om het een succes te maken, zou Opel honderden miljoenen euro's moeten investeren om de merkbekendheid te vergroten en het distributienetwerk uit te bouwen. Opel richtte zich volledig op de Europese markt.

2017-2021: overname door PSA

Op 6 maart 2017 werd bekend dat PSA Groupe voor 2,2 miljard euro zowel Opel als Vauxhall gaat overnemen. Het Franse autoconcern had een overeenkomst bereikt met het moederbedrijf General Motors. De transactie werd op 1 augustus 2017 afgerond waarmee PSA na Volkswagen AG de tweede grootste autofabrikant van Europa werd. GM had Opel sinds 1929 in handen gehad. De Europese activiteiten hadden sinds 2009 ruim 8 miljard euro aan verliezen geleden. Op de verkoop nam GM een eenmalige last en nam voor miljarden aan pensioenverplichtingen over. Het pensioenfonds van Opel had fors meer verplichtingen dan bezittingen.

Peugeot berekende de jaarlijkse synergievoordelen in 2026 op 1,7 miljard euro, waarvan het merendeel al in 2020 moet zijn gerealiseerd. De overname leidde eerder tot grote zorgen in Duitsland en Groot-Brittannië over mogelijk banenverlies, maar Peugeot gaf garanties voor behoud van werkgelegenheid en fabrieken. Desondanks maakte PSA bekend in juli 2019 bekend in Duitsland 1100 banen te gaan schrappen bij Opel. De banen verdwijnen bij de fabrieken in Kaiserslautern (300), Eisenach (200) en Rüsselsheim (600). Inclusief deze aankondiging is vanaf augustus 2017 bijna een derde deel van de meer dan 19.000 arbeidsplaatsen bij Opel in Duitsland geschrapt. De Fransen zijn er in 2018 wel in geslaagd het Duitse concern weer winstgevend te maken.

Dieselfraude
In juli 2018 werd bekend dat Duitse Kraftfahrt Bundesamt (KBA) bewijsmateriaal heeft gevonden van een sjoemelsysteem in een aantal dieseluitvoeringen van Opel. Het uitlaatgasnabehandelingssysteem zou zichzelf volledig uitschakelen zonder dat hier een technische noodzaak voor is, waardoor de auto's tot tien keer meer stikstofoxiden (NOx) uitstoten dan is toegestaan. In oktober werd bekend dat dit drie modellen betreft, Zafira, Insignia en Cascada, en in totaal gaat het om 100.000 voertuigen.

2021-heden
De PSA groep is in fusie gegaan met FCA. Uit deze fusie kwam de groep Stellantis. Die nu de eigenaar is van Opel.

Vrachtwagens

Opel begon ook al vroeg in haar historie met het produceren van vrachtwagens. Reeds in 1910 werd het eerste model uitgebracht. Deze vrachtwagen had een voor die tijd aanzienlijk laadvermogen van 1 ton. In 1931 begon het bedrijf meerdere modellen te ontwerpen en produceren en kwam er een bakwagen uit met een laadvermogen van 2,5 ton. In 1931 opende Opel een separate vrachtwagenfabriek in Brandenburg. Tot 1975 werden door het bedrijf vrachtwagens geproduceerd.

Opel-fabrieken in Europa

De grootste fabriek van Opel is die in Rüsselsheim. In 2002 werd die voor 750 miljoen euro omgebouwd tot de modernste fabriek ter wereld. Daarnaast bouwt Opel ook nog auto's in Eisenach. In Kaiserslautern worden motoren en onderdelen vervaardigd. Het testcircuit bevindt zich in Rodgau-Dudenhofen en een test- en evenementencentrum in Pferdsfeld.

De fabriek in Bochum werd eind 2014 gesloten. Dit betekende het einde van de productie van auto's en motoren. De werknemers in Bochum wezen in maart 2013 als enige Opel-fabriek een toekomstplan af. Dat plan voorzag in een verschuiving van het einde van de autoproductie aldaar van 2014 naar 2016 en in het behoud van het logistiek centrum en de onderdelenfabriek. De werknemers vonden het plan te vaag en stemden het weg. Daarop besloot het management de fabriek te sluiten waarmee 3.300 banen verloren gingen.

In maart 2015 maakte Opel bekend de fabriek in Sint-Petersburg te gaan sluiten vanwege de terugvallende verkoop in Rusland. De fabriek ging medio 2015 dicht en zo'n 1000 werknemers verloren hun baan. De sluiting ging gepaard  met 600 miljoen dollar aan eenmalige kosten. De fabriek was in juli 2008 geopend en had een capaciteit van 98.000 voertuigen. In 2012 kwamen er nog plannen om de capaciteit te verhogen naar 230.000 stuks, maar deze plannen zijn slechts deels uitgevoerd.

In Duitsland stelt Opel ongeveer 25.000 mensen te werk in zijn fabrieken.

Tuning

Al sinds de jaren 60 maakt Opel zelf sportieve varianten op zijn modellen. Zo was er de Opel Commodore GS/E, de Opel Kadett GT/E en de Opel Manta GT/E. Zowel bij de Kadett als bij de Manta werd dit achtervoegsel bij latere modellen omgedoopt naar GSi. Een GSi-variant kwam er ook op de eerste generatie Opel Astra en op bepaalde generaties van de Opel Corsa. Vanaf 1998 verdween GSi van het toneel om plaats te maken voor het Opel Performance Center, afgekort tot OPC. Hoewel er van de vierde generatie Opel Corsa een OPC-variant bestaat, werd ook een GSi-variant gemaakt. Tot einde 2012 was dit het enige model waarvan zowel een GSi- als een OPC-variant bestond. Bij de Opel Astra werd voor de derde en de huidige vierde generatie een GTC-uitvoering gemaakt als tussenmodel tussen de standaard en de OPC-uitvoering.

Bij alle sportieve modelvarianten van Opel die werden ontwikkeld voor het bestaan van het Opel Performance Center, werd het uiterlijk onder handen genomen door Irmscher. Tot op heden maken zij nog steeds tuning-onderdelen voor nieuwe Opel-modellen. Andere bedrijven die zich hier ook in specialiseren zijn Steinmetz Opel Tuning, Lexmaul en Rieger.

Ook het Italiaanse designbureau Bertone heeft zich beziggehouden met Opel. Zij ontwikkelden de coupé- en cabriolet-varianten van de Astra en de Kadett.

BASF recognized for commitment to #HurricaneStrong and Breezy Point house rebuild
ORLANDO, FL, January 12, 2018 – BASF was honored by the Federal Alliance for Safe Homes (FLASH) for outstanding efforts in advancing education and awareness toward #HurricaneStrong, a national collaboration that encourages hurricane safety and building resilience. This recognition was for the work BASF did on the rebuild of a Breezy Point, New York, house that was destroyed during Superstorm Sandy in 2012.
The rebuild will serve as an educational project to promote disaster-resilient construction practices across the country. The company received a 3D model of Breezy Point and storybook to commemorate the event.
"BASF works closely with our customers and organizations like FLASH to showcase how our key construction technologies help customers 'Build Back Better,'" said Juan Carlos Ordonez, Senior Vice President, Performance Materials North America for BASF. "Through our Disaster Durable Solutions™ program, we are working to ensure long-lasting, resilient construction that reduces the significant impact natural disasters have on communities across North America."
Architect Illya Azaroff, AIA from + LAB, created the 3D model as a design tool to test the overall implementation and building process of the home. The scaled down model allowed construction methods, costs and BASF technologies to be streamlined into the process. The 3D model and storybook from Azaroff was presented by Leslie Chapman-Henderson, president and CEO of FLASH.
"We cannot prevent severe weather, but initiatives like BASF Disaster Durable Solutions and the #HurricaneStrong education project are helping families understand the many affordable ways to build homes that are energy efficient, sustainable and more disaster resilient," said Chapman-Henderson.

Paddy Wharton (born 27 May 2000) is an English footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Runcorn Linnets.  He played professionally for Tranmere Rovers. He has also played on loan at Colwyn Bay, Marine, Stalybridge Celtic and Atherton Collieries

Playing career
Wharton spent his childhood at the Academies at Liverpool and Everton, before he came through the academy at Tranmere Rovers to sign professional forms in January 2017. He joined Northern Premier League Division One West team Colwyn Bay on loan on 18 August 2018. He made his debut later that day, keeping a clean sheet in a 1–0 victory over Kendal Town at Llanelian Road. He played seven games for the "Seagulls" before returning to Prenton Park; Bay manager Craig Hogg said that "both players [Wharton and Jay Devine] have been excellent to work with and are a total credit to their club". On 9 October, Wharton made his senior debut for Tranmere in a 6–0 defeat at Shrewsbury Town in the group stages of the EFL Trophy.

On 22 October, he joined Northern Premier League Premier Division side Stalybridge Celtic on a one-month loan deal after "Celts" goalkeeper Jake Turner picked up an injury. He made seven appearances for Simon Haworth's "Bridge", before he returned to Rovers in November. He immediately joined Northern Premier League Premier Division side Marine on loan. He made ten appearances for Neil Young's "Mariners". On 7 January 2019, he returned to Stalybridge Celtic for his second loan spell of the season at Bower Fold, this time joining until the end of the 2018–19 season.

He was released by Tranmere at the end of the 2018–19 season.

In May 2019 he joined FC United of Manchester.

In December 2019 he joined Atherton Collieries on loan. During the loan he played in the FA Trophy, which lead to FC United stating they would never play him again after the loan expires as they had agreed a Gentlemen's agreement that he wouldn't play in the FA Trophy. Wharton denied this agreement existed and called the situation a disgrace.

Another son. Another speech. Luke Series- Week 15- Day 4
On March 18, 2021 March 7, 2021 By Ben JenningsIn Devotional
Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard musick and dancing. (26) And he called one of the servants and asked what these things meant. (27) And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound. (28) And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his father out, and intreated him. (29) And he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment: and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends: (30) But as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.
It would be nice if the story ended there. Yet in the next few verses we see the story continue with yet a different kind of prodigal. We see the elder son, who is a picture of resentment.
(25) Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard musick and dancing. (26) And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant.
(27) And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound.
Here comes the elder son. The elder son had never left home, and had witnessed the whole circumstance. The elder son had watched his younger brother disgrace his dad. The elder son had watched the praying, the sleepless nights, and the pacing on the front porch looking down the road.
Notice where he comes from. He comes from the field. Why would he be in the field? He was working. He was responsible. He had outward conformed to the social norms and honored his parents.
Yet he did not have the fathers heart. Look at his response.
(28) And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his father out, and intreated him.
The elder son was not happy that his brother was alive. He was not happy that he was repentant. He was not happy that he was back. He was definitely in no mood to party. He refused to even go in and see his brother.
Notice that the father had run to the prodigal when he came back. Now the father is going to his elder son, a prodigal of another kind.
There is another speech by another son.
(29) And he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment: and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends:
The elder son claims that his service was to his father. He claims that over the years he had never disobeyed his dad. He claims that there was no sin on his part. Notice the contrast in attitude. The younger prodigal was penitent. The older prodigal was self-righteous. The younger prodigal recognized his sin. The older prodigal denied he had ever sinned. The younger prodigal saw his sin the way that the father saw it. The older prodigal didn't want to spend time with his dad. He wanted to "make merry with" his friends.
The speech continues.
(30) But as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.
Notice what he called his brother. He called him "thy son". He did not accept His brothers forgiveness. He says that his brother "devoured" his father's living. He consumed it. The father, whose living was wasted, was exemplifying extravagant forgiveness. The older brother was accusing his father of celebrating sinfulness. He was accusing his father of unfair treatment. The fatted calf was typically a grain fed animal, fattened up for celebration, and usually slaughtered and prepared for a religious holiday. The extravagant forgiveness was seen as unjust and unfair by the elder brother. The accusation being made bordered on a questioning of the character of the father.
In this exchange between the elder brother and his father, we see a son that is resentful. His resentment reveals several attitudes that are problematic.
First, we see an attitude of unforgiveness. The father, who was the primary one sinned against, forgave more readily and earnestly than did the son, who though he was sinned against, was not sinned against like his dad.
In my ministry I have seen this played out many times. Sometimes it is easier to forgive those who sin against us directly than it is to forgive those who sin against a loved one. Yet we must learn to forgive. Is there someone in your life that you need to forgive? Do it. Right now, from the heart, make the decision to forgive. Don't grow bitter.
Second, we see an attitude of self-righteousness. He does not have the same heart as his father for his brother. He does not believe that he has done any wrong. His resentment is causing him to have no love for his brother and less love for his father. He states passionately that he has never transgressed at any time. This is unlikely, yet it reveals that he thinks he is better than the treatment he is getting.
Over and over again, we see the pattern of the message of Jesus. Those that acknowledge their sinfulness and confess it are forgiven. Those who refuse to own their own sinfulness are not. Blessed are the poor in spirit! Blessed are those who acknowledge their own sinfulness and repent.
Third, we see an attitude of entitlement. When you read the words of the brother what posture and body language do you picture? Were there pointed fingers? Is his voice elevated or quiet and controlled? There is an air of accusation in his tone. "You didn't even give me a goat!". It's almost as if he is saying, "Dad you owe me?". The scripture says that the borrower is slave to the lender. In a sense the elder son primarily has a problem with his father more than with his brother.
An attitude of entitlement comes from a person who is not thinking rightly about themselves. God owes us nothing but an eternity separated from Him because of our sin. Yet God in His mercy gave to us His Son. He has committed Himself to us by promising us salvation, forgiveness of sins, adoption, an inheritance, the Holy Spirit indwelling us, and eternal life for those who repent and trust in Him. Have you done that?
Look at those attitudes: Unforgiveness, Self-Righteousness, and Entitlement. Which one have you exhibited lately? What should you do about it?
It's time to celebrate! Luke- Week 15- Day 3
It is right to celebrate repentance. Luke- Week 15- Day 5

Employers offer retirement advice
PUBLISHED: March 12, 2008 at 12:00 a.m. | UPDATED: September 1, 2017 at 8:50 a.m.
MINNEAPOLIS – Not too long ago, Patti Doyle joked that her retirement plan was to find a shopping cart with "good snow tires." Now, thanks to Doyle's employer-provided financial adviser, she's test-driving a new retirement vehicle – her 401(k).
Study after study has shown that, like Doyle – a 52-year-old cardiology technician for the St. Paul Heart Clinic – most workers are behind when it comes to saving for retirement. Some blame it on stretched budgets that leave little money to save for the future. But another problem is a lack of investing know-how.
Since Congress passed a law in 2006 making it easier for employers to provide financial advice, a growing number of companies have started offering tools designed to help workers prepare for life without a paycheck – from advice delivered via computer program to on-site financial advisers.
Several studies have found that workers who have access to financial advice are more confident about their finances and better prepared for retirement, a message employers are hearing loud and clear.
According to human-resources consulting firm Hewitt Associates, 40 percent of companies that sponsor retirement plans offered outside investment advice to employees in 2007, compared with 28 percent in 2003. Of the 60 percent of employers that don't offer it, 16 percent plan to offer such a service this year. However, some benefits lawyers and investment advisers caution that the cost and quality of advice vary greatly.
In recent years, defined benefit plans, such as pensions, have taken a back seat to retirement plans funded by workers. Concerned that workers weren't saving enough and saving properly, Congress passed the Pension Protection Act in 2006, encouraging companies to automatically enroll their workers in 401(k)-type plans and suggesting that companies change their default investment options from conservative investments to so-called target-date retirement funds, which change investments based on a worker's presumed retirement age.
The new law also redefined the rules surrounding retirement advice, placing the liability on the adviser – not the company – for poor advice. That doesn't mean that workplaces are off the hook.
"It isn't like the employer can just say, `I heard about this outfit, I'll let them work with my plan participants and I don't have to worry anymore,"' said Pam Thein, an employee benefits attorney with Oppenheimer Wolff & Donnelly in Minneapolis.
Employers still bear the burden of selecting either an adviser or a computer-based program that interviews participants and spits out recommendations and monitors the outcomes.
Financial educator Tony Verheyen fears that some employers will hire planners who will go beyond giving retirement advice and sell additional products and services.
The change "has opened another door to the money-grubbers, phonies and pretenders who will try to commoditize the world of sound advice," he wrote in an e-mail. "The price of a bad adviser is ultimately paid by the employee."
And then there are hidden costs. "You might not realize how expensive it is, because some of the cost may be embedded in the investments that are offered," said Michael Hoeschen, who advises workplaces about retirement plans for Berthel Schutter in St. Paul.
Still, the money may be worth it. A recent survey by Charles Schwab found that participants using its advice tool earned an average 14.11 percent rate of return in 2006, compared with 11.11 percent for employees investing on their own. That's because novice investors tend to choose an inappropriate mix of investments – such as a 25-year-old investing solely in bonds – and fail to make changes such as tweaking asset allocation or investing more as they receive salary increases.
In the not-so-distant past, workers clutching mutual fund descriptions would approach ClearPoint Financial's Jim McDonald after enrollment meetings and ask, "Well, what would you pick?" he recalls. But he couldn't answer; company legal departments would tell him he could educate, but never advise.
McDonald and his colleagues now share opinions about everything from what model portfolio to use to whether changing investments is wise during a market downturn. ClearPoint recently sent e-mails to heart clinic employees after a particularly big drop in the market, urging them to stay the course.
One of those investors was Doyle, the cardiology technician. She's known about the 401(k) plan for years, but until recently had no money to invest. But with her kids nearly through college, she knew it was now or never. "I read things in the newspaper and read financial columns knowing that I should be doing something, but not really knowing how to go about doing it."
She said that having an adviser to meet with "spurred" her to put $300 a month into her 401(k).
"I always have thought about retirement being so far away and that I didn't have to worry about it," Doyle said. "But then all of a sudden you get a birthday coming up and think, `Holy cow, I should be doing something."'

Second Acts
The Ghostwriter
By Jeffrey Toobin
In 1994, Pablo Fenjves lived in a house about sixty yards away from Nicole Brown Simpson's residence, at 875 South Bundy Drive, in Brentwood. Fenjves was a screenwriter, and on the night of June 12th of that year he was working on a script called "The Last Bachelor," about an amorous baseball player. Shortly before eleven o'clock, he went from his office to his bedroom, where his wife, Jai, was watching "Dynasty: The Reunion." As the credits for the program were rolling, Fenjves heard a dog barking. The sound of the dog, Fenjves later testified, was like "a plaintive wail—sounded like a, you know, a very unhappy animal." Seven months before the murders of Simpson and Ron Goldman, Fenjves had written a script called "Frame-Up," which became a cable-television movie. In the opening scene, Fenjves wrote, "We hear the plaintive wail of a police siren."
The son of Holocaust survivors from Hungary, Fenjves had followed a circuitous route to "the Bundy location," as it was known in the O. J. Simpson trial. He grew up in Venezuela, went to college in Illinois, and ventured to Canada for a first job in journalism. In the late nineteen-seventies, he moved to Florida to write what he called "human-interest stories" for the National Enquirer. There he covered such curiosities as the world's oldest Siamese twins (they were in their twenties and worked in a travelling freak show), but he soon decided to devote himself to screenwriting full time.
While at the Enquirer, he became close friends with a colleague at the paper, Judith Regan. They kept in touch over the years, and when Regan became a success in the publishing world, as the custodian of her own imprint at Harper-Collins, she sometimes hired Fenjves. He ghostwrote the 2003 autobiography, "Maybe You Never Cry Again," of the comedian Bernie Mac (sample passage: "Got-damn right muh'fucka, I got a level of crazy in me you ain't begun to see"). Last year, Regan published Fenjves's parody of James Frey's work, called "A Million Little Lies," which he wrote under the name James Pinocchio. All the while, Fenjves kept up with his screenwriting, providing the story for such films as "The Devil's Child," which was summarized by a leading Internet movie database as "A young woman's mother wants her to bear Satan's child."
Not long ago, Regan approached Fenjves with an offer to serve as O. J. Simpson's ghostwriter for the book that would become "If I Did It"—an account that apparently included a hypothetical confession to the crime by the acquitted defendant. Fenjves accepted. "I think you'd be hard pressed to find a reporter in this country who, given the opportunity to sit down and take a confession from O. J. Simpson, no matter how oblique, would have refused to do so," he said last week, over the telephone. "It wasn't a moral issue with me."
Last Monday, Rupert Murdoch, the chairman of News Corp., the parent company of HarperCollins, abruptly cancelled the book, along with Regan's broadcast interview with Simpson, both of which had been scheduled for release this week. "I and senior management agree with the American public that this was an ill-considered project," Murdoch said in a statement.
Having lived through the first O.J. frenzy, Fenjves seemed unruffled by the recent developments. He is now divorced from Jai, but he still lives with his son in the house where he heard the barking of the unhappy Akita, named Kato. (At the trial, Fenjves and several other "dog witnesses," as they were known, testified as part of an attempt by the prosecution to pinpoint the time of the murders.)
Fenjves believes that, in the wake of Murdoch's decision to cancel the book, another publisher may seek to release it. (Michael Viner, whose small press enjoyed success in the first Simpson era with the works of Faye Resnick, a friend of Nicole's, said he had no interest in "If I Did It." "This is the equivalent of a snuff movie," he said.)
Still, Fenjves is undaunted. "It's going to be bigger than ever," he said. "It's like 'Ulysses,' except without the talent."

If you don't have a Bodum Fyrkat grill then you are going to at least need a grill with a lid if you want to make perfect grilled chicken. It is simple to do but you do need to be able to cover it for at least a part of the cooking process.
Never be in a hurry to grill the chicken.
This is at the heart of grilling chicken so it is succulent, tender and yet still has the crispiness that we all love from barbecue so much.
This is half the secret.
You need to wait until the coals have really begin to die down a little. Or, with the Bodum grill, you can put the lid on to cool the coals down. You need to grill chicken slowly so that it keeps all the juices locked in and this is how to get perfect results.
If you are in a hurry you will end up with chicken that is almost charcoal on the outside and raw on the inside. This is both extremely dangerous to your health and it will taste horrible too.
Cook it slowly to make sure that it stays moist and when it is near to ready you will find that the skin has crisped up to perfection. And it is full of the smoky flavor you only get from using charcoal.
The other secret is to have a lid.
This allows you to partially steam the chicken while you grill it. It also cooks the top because of the reflective heat so it means you will not have to turn the chicken as much.
These two tips really are the secret to getting perfect grilled chicken on the barbecue. You must be patient and allow at least a half an hour if not longer for the grilling, the slower you grill the better the results will be.
Feeling hungry? I know I am.
