Children of JOHN SHIELDS and ELLEN ALEXANDER are:
i. JOHN GILLIES7 SHIELDS8, b. 01 Feb 1882, Gateside Farm, Galston, Ayrshire, Scotland; d. 18 May 1960, Isley Walton, Leics; m. EMMA (EVA) ELEANOR CORNELIUS, 26 Jul 1917, Borris-in-Ossory, Queens Co. Eire; b. 13 Sep 1895, Ballytarsna, Borris-in-Ossory, Queens Co. Ireland; d. 11 May 1976, Derbyshire.
Born in Scotland, his family moved to Leicestershire in 1883.
He served in WW 1 for the Leics. Regiment and was sent to Ireland to recover from the effects of gassing in the trenches.There he met Eva at the home of the Countess of Mount Cashel (Eva's cousin, Florence).They met again later when he was out riding past Ballytarsna and Eva was sitting on the fence watching for him.He told his fellow soldier that he was going to marry "that red-head"!
They married July 26th 1917 and the notes for Eva contain an account of their wedding.
He took over as the Land Agent from his father and managed the estates and farms owned by the family- the farms were rented out- around the Castle Donington, Isley Walton area of Leicestershire.
Capt. of Leics. Cricket team and wicket keeper.The story goes that he bought steaks en route to a game and stuffed them into his gloves, to prevent bruising!He also played for the Gentlemen v the Players at Lords.
He was an excellent horseman and one of the best shots in the county.
After his death, his son J. Gilles Shields inherited, in trust,all the lands with the exception of the Manor House and grounds along with the living of the United Benefice of Breedon and Worthington, and Longcliffe Quarry. In 1976, Gillies broke the Trust and sold Donington Hall to British Midland Airways and the Race Track and the lands at the Coppice where a Racing museum now stands. The Deer Park remains in the family.
Residence: 1901, Castle Donnington, Leicestershire, England8,8
Notes for EMMA (EVA) ELEANOR CORNELIUS:
Always known as Eva Geraldine, her father got drunk on the way to register her birth and couldn't remember the correct names so named her after his sisters, Emma and Eleanor!This was not discovered until the birth certificate was produced for the wedding.
She met her future husband, Johnny Shields, when he was serving in WW 1 for the Leics. Regiment and was sent to Ireland to recover from the effects of gassing in the trenches.There he met Eva at the home of the Countess of Mouncashell (Eva's cousin, Florence).
The story about EvamarryingJohn Shields was handed down to all the children in N.Z by the 5 brothers. I think there were either rather envious or totally stunned that their big sister could sit on the front fence of the farm and "snare"a very eligible English army officer , andthen leaveIreland for a life of perceived luxury in England, where as they were sent toN.Z where they had to work extremely hard for their uncle to repay their boat fare. I get the impression things were pretty tough in Ireland at the time and that the family was living on past glories.
"The Marriage of Lieut. J.G. Shields R.F.A. with Miss Eva Geraldine Cornelius
(As taken from a newspaper account)
The marriage of Lieutenant John Shields R.F.A. to Miss Eva Geraldine Cornelius, took place at the parish church, Borris-in Ossory, Queens Co. Ireland, the home of the bride, on Wednesday.The bridegroom is the eldest son of Mr. John Gillies Shields J.P. C.C. (the agent for the executors of Lord Donington and Major Gretton of Donington Park), and a well-known agriculturist, and of Mrs. Shields, of the Manor House, Isley Walton, Leicestershire.Mr. Shields, who volunteered for service when the war began, will be best remembered as the popular captain of Leicestershire County Cricket Club and a member of the M.C.C.The bride, who is a cousin of the Countess of Mount Cashel, is the daughter of Mr. Alexander Fitzgerald Cornelius and Mrs. Cornelius of Ballytarsna House, Borris-in -Ossory, Ireland. The Rev. Robert Mollen, rector of Borris-in-Ossory performed the ceremony and the church was crowded. Mr. Reginald Cornelius, brother of the bride, was best man, the bridegroom having come from France on short leave for the wedding. There was one bridesmaid, Miss Ruby Cornelius, sister of the bride.The bride, who was given away by her father, wore a dress made in German style of an old gold satin and nigger brown and a picture hat.
A reception was held afterwards at Ballytarsna House and the newly married pair crossed to England on Thursday and motored home from Birmingham on Friday morning.This was the bride's first visit to England.They will reside in Breedon Hall.A large number of presents awaited them and the approaches to Isley Walton were gaily decorated."

Oil slips below $62 as trade talks drag on
in Closing Bell Story / Energy News / International / Oil and Gas 360 Articles / OPEC by— Oil & Gas 360
November 19, 2019	Share Print
LONDON – Oil fell for a second day on Tuesday, dropping below $62 a barrel on limited progress toward resolving the U.S.-China trade dispute, higher than expected Norwegian oil output and forecasts of rising U.S. crude inventories.
A Chinese government source was quoted by CNBC on Monday as saying there was gloom in Beijing about prospects for a trade deal. The long-running dispute has hit economic growth prospects and clouded the outlook on oil demand.
Brent crude LCOc1, the global benchmark, was down 89 cents at $61.55 a barrel by 1433 GMT. It had reached $63.65 — the highest since Sept. 24 — on Thursday. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude CLc1 dropped 97 cents to $56.08.
"The less than promising reports coming from China on the trade war may have taken some of the energy out of the rally," said Craig Erlam, analyst at brokerage OANDA.
"We're certainly seeing less momentum in the recent rallies."
Oil prices were also hit by a larger than expected rise in Norwegian oil production and the prospect of a further increase in U.S. crude inventories, suggesting ample supplies.
Norway's production rose in October to beat the official forecast as output from the Johan Sverdrup field began ahead of schedule. This is the largest field to come on stream in the North Sea — home of the Brent contract — for years.
The average estimate from six analysts polled by Reuters was for U.S. crude inventories to have risen by about 1.1 million barrels in the week to Nov. 15, representing a fourth consecutive weekly gain.
The American Petroleum Institute releases its supply report at 2030 GMT on Tuesday and the government's official figures are due on Wednesday.
Oil found some support from tension in the Middle East, home to top exporter Saudi Arabia and other core OPEC members.
Protesters in Iraq blocked a commodities port on Tuesday and people took to the streets in Iran to demonstrate against a rise in petrol prices.
The United States on Monday said it would no longer waive sanctions related to Iran's Fordow nuclear plant, while armed members of Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthi movement seized a vessel towing a South Korean rig over the weekend.
Brent has rallied about 15% this year, supported by a supply pact between the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and allies including Russia.
Producers meet in Vienna on Dec. 5-6 and are expected to extend the pact beyond March.

At Sartoria Formosa, we have a closet full of items that for whatever reason customers never picked up. Suits that were made with the same care and quality as all other Formosa clothes, but were – unfairly – forgotten.
Sartoria Formosa makes them available to those who are willing to give them a second chance, offering a substantial price reduction from the standard custom ordered bespoke suit.


At 6 a.m. our small group makes our way up to the meditation hall for the morning sadhana. What a delight to be practicing yoga on the banks of the Ganga River. Sounds fill the humid air as the Indian sun rises awakening birds and monkeys from slumber. Morning Arti begins with clanging of bells and chanted prayers to Mother Ganga. We gently stretch our bodies and deepen our breath to accommodate all that is surrounding us and within us.
At breakfast we're eager to eat and discuss plans for our third day as a group. We've already determined India has many experiences to give us. Today we're hiking to a waterfall in the Himalayan foothills. An opportunity to experience the switchback Indian mountain roads and the natural beauty that surrounds us!
The trek is moderate and the trail is well kept. We hike up alongside a brook and cross a few walking bridges. Occasionally, goats will pass as they forage in the brush for leaves and berries. We arrive at a smaller waterfall assuming we've made it, only to be lead on by Vimal, our teacher and guide. Okay, so this trek was a bit more physical than we expected….we keep breathing and climbing up.
We arrive to a beautiful pool of water and the thunderous sound of the waterfall. All in for a swim! The force of the water on the body under the fall was exhilarating. After pictures, poses, laughter and drying off we're gathered for a bowl of Momo, spicy Manchurian noodles and then….
The longest, blood curdling, hair raising scream, out of nowhere. Stunned – in silence we begin looking around. Above us on the mountain we see two people gazing down in shock with their mouths agape. Vimal and I spring to our feet and begin climbing up. Time just stops. I know as I climbed up through the bush and jagged rocks I may be unprepared for what I am heading into.
There in a narrow, rock laden gully is a young woman badly beaten from her tumble down the steep slope. She has several contusions, is unable to move her left arm and is challenged to breathe. A friend has scurried to her aid, supporting her head. They were from Egypt and their English is good.
The next several hours that pass are a gift. We need to get help fast, we are the only folks there. Cell phones don't work… someone hikes down to call for help. Members of our group hike up with drinking water, clean her wounds and provide hope. Time passes. We need to keep her conscious and talking. We talk, pray and sing as our mutual faith in God eases the situation.
Finally, two men arrive with a cloth stretcher as others arrive to enjoy the waterfall. We recruit 5 men to carry her down. This was no easy task. The young men are from different cultures speaking different languages, we need to communicate with each other in a coordinated manner to ensure her safety and theirs as we make the trek down.
It is painstaking trying to keep her body evenly supported in the piece of cloth as they descend. Proceeding down the mountain, there is only silence – nine men focused on balance, strength and moving the stretcher along the steep, narrow, rock strewn, twisting path. The women are holding space behind them, praying. They have to take breaks to rest often…but need a flat surface, where they can move together to lay her down, shift their holds on the stretcher, care for her wounds, then in unison lift her once again from the earth. We all share what we have with each other – water, kleenex, snacks, and clothing.
Half way down the woman on the stretcher turns her moans of pain into a song praising God …we all join her and sing. WHAT A GIFT, to be part of this experience of community, sacrifice, and gratitude to the Divine with strangers and friends alike!
I wish you all peace, health and love throughout this holiday season and always.

On March 11, 2019, a federal court in Minnesota rejected an employer's attempt to litigate a plaintiff's state-law whistleblower claim in a federal forum, ruling it was insufficient that the plaintiff alleged violations of federal regulations because the narrow exception to federal-question jurisdiction was not present. Martinson v. Mahube-Otwa Cmty. Action P'ship, Inc., No. 18-cv-03001.
Plaintiff's employer operated a Head-Start program, which is a federally funded program that provides early childhood education, health, nutrition, and other services to low-income children and their families. Plaintiff, a manager of enrollment for the program, alleged that she was terminated after she raised concerns that her supervisor instructed her to enroll ineligible applicants in the program in violation of federal regulations concerning a person's eligibility under Head Start. Plaintiff filed suit in state court, asserting a single state-law claim under the Minnesota Whistleblower Act, Minn. Stat. § 181.931-935, and the defendant removed the action to federal court. Plaintiff moved for remand, arguing the district court did not have subject-matter jurisdiction over the state claim between non-diverse parties.
First, the court held that plaintiff's claim did not present a substantial issue of federal law because the Head Start regulations at issue were not important to the federal system as a whole. The task of interpreting the federal regulation would be merely one step in the adjudication of plaintiff's fact-specific claims and the case did not present a pure issue of law. The federal government also did not have a direct interest in the case and there was no indication that the resolution of plaintiff's case would control a large number of other cases.
Second, the court held that the case did not qualify for a federal forum because it would disrupt the federal-state balance. Under prevailing Supreme Court precedent, extending federal jurisdiction to state-law causes of action with an embedded federal issue requires sensitive judgments about congressional intent, made with an eye toward the practical implications of the decision. Citing state tort law as an example, the court explained that the "violation of federal statutes and regulations is commonly given negligence per se effect in state tort proceedings," but the Supreme Court had declined to permit federal jurisdiction for such actions. The court emphasized that a contrary finding in this case would "risk tilting the balance of employment-law litigation toward the federal courts in a way that is at odds with § 1331," and without an obvious limiting principle.
Finally, the court found that numerous state laws, including the Minnesota Whistleblower Act, permit an alleged violation of federal law to establish an element of the claim. Permitting federal jurisdiction on that basis would effectively allow a state to expand federal-question jurisdiction, abrogating the role of Congress.
The decision limits the availability of a federal forum for state-law whistleblower claims premised on alleged violations of federal laws or regulations. Employers can expect to continue to litigate these whistleblower claims in state court, even where the alleged protected activity concerns complex federal statutes and regulations.

Ten things to know from last week: December 7-13, 2021
Published on : December 15, 2021 December 15, 2021 by admin
Ten things to know from last week: December 7-13. Last lap F1 definition, a huge upset in MMA, the end of an era in Polo...
Ten things to know from last week
Last lap definition! Max Verstappen (NED, Red Bull) won his first Formula 1 World Driver's Championship after passing Lewis Hamilton (ENG, Mercedes) for the win in the very last lap of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, following a restart. It was a controversial finale, as the Race Director decided to restart the race with one lap to go, unconventionally only allowing the lapped cars between the first and second place to pass by the Safety Car, in order to have a restart. Verstappen had just pitted for soft tires and was in a better condition. Mercedes won the Constructors Championship. This was the last F1 race for Kimi-Matias Räikkönen (FIN, Alfa Romeo).
Upsetting the best! Julianna Peña (VEN), who had lost two of her last four Mixed Martial Arts fights, pulled one of the biggest upsets in the sport's history after beating the #1 Pound for Pound female MMA fighter, Amanda Nunes (BRA) , to take her UFC Women's Bantamweight Championship, with a rear-naked choke submission in the second round. The Champion dominated the first round but Peña landed good shots before the knockout. Later, Charles Oliveira (BRA) beat Dustin Poirier (USA) to successfully defend his UFC Lightweight Championship.
Finally a new Champion! La Natividad broke the duopoly of the Argentine Polo Open held by Ellerstina and La Dolfina dating back to 2005, by beating La Dolfina Saudi 15-13 in the Final. Adolfo Cambiaso's (ARG) La Dofina changed its player configuration this year, after their eight titles in a row. La Natividad fielded Camilo "Jeta" Castagnola (ARG, 9), Paul "Polito" Pieres (ARG, 9), Bartolome Castagnola Jr (ARG, 9), and Ignatius Du Plessis (ZAF, 9). The Women's Argentine Open saw the comeback of Nina Clarkin (ENG) and she proved again that she is the best female polo player in the world, by propelling La Dolfina BP to its record third title…The previous two were with her as well, before force majeure forced her out of two editions. She was joined by Mía Cambiaso and the sisters Candelaria and Milagros Fernández Araujo (ARG).
Bombarding again. The Winnipeg Blue Bombers became the first team in 11 years to win the Canadian Football League for the second year in a row, after beating the Hamilton Tiger-Cats 33–25 for the 108th Grey Cup. It was the fourth Grey Cup to go to overtime. Quarterback Zach Collaros (USA) threw the touchdown and respective conversion to win and was awarded the 'MVP'. Estranged NFL kicker Sergio Castillo (MEX/USA) scored seven times and led one conversion within the nine scoring plays by the Blue Bombers during regulation time.
Esport Champions. Valorant, a globally popular 5v5 character-based tactical First Person Shooter game, crowned its first Champions, as European team Acend beat Gambit (RUS) in the Grand Finals. Another FPS, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, had its Intel Extreme Masters Season XVI Winter event in Stockholm, where Team Vitality (FRA) beat Ninjas in Pyjamas (DNK) 3-0, with 70 kills by Mathieu "ZywOo" Herbaut (FRA). Rocket League held its first in-person global Major in two years, and Team BDS (CHE, with Spanish and French players) beat The General NRG (USA) in overtime. In Age of Empires II, Ørjan "TheViper" Larsen (NOR) won the King of Desert 4 tournament.
Musumeci denies sweep. Just as in the previous World Jiu-Jitsu Championship (Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu), the only non-Brazilian to win a gold has "Musumeci" as a surname, as Mikey Musumeci (USA) won his fourth world title in the 57 kg division, beating 10-times World Champion Bruno Malfacine (BRA) with his usual Ankle Lock in an excellent final. Beatriz Mesquita (BRA) won her 10th world title in the women's 64 kg division. Felipe Pena (BRA) and Gabrieli Pessanha (BRA) won the Absolute Championships.
The best Para-Surfer. Bruno Hanson (DNK) became the first Para Surfer to win si World Championship gold medals and extended his record as the most successful, undefeated Para Surfer of all time. He won the sixth in a row, by taking the Men's Prone 1 over Casey Proud (HAW, USA), who was very close to beating him. In the end, the United States of America won the team title in California. Victoria Feige (CAN) and Melissa Reid (ENG) became the first female Para Surfers to win three gold medals in the Championships.
Double Flag for USA. Team USA won its fourth consecutive IFAF Flag Football Men's World Championship, having won each edition of the IFAF tournament since 2014. This time they beat Mexico 44-41 in a close Final game held in Jerusalem Israel and won all seven matches they had. They have now won five World Championships. The women's side would see a similar story, as Team USA also beat Team Mexico in the Finals, in this case, 31-21, for the second title in a row for the US Americans.
The last one? Magnus Carlsen (NOR) successfully defended his World Chess Championship for a fourth time. Only three Chess players have won six World title matches and Carlsen remains the player with the second-longest streak as #1, behind Garry Kasparov (RUS). Carlsen beat Ian Nepomniachtchi (RUS) 7 1/2 to 3 1/2 as the Russian had uncharacteristic blunders. Perhaps his collapse was triggered by the sixth game, where Carlsen won the longest match in World Championship history, featuring 136 moves. On Monday, Carlsen hinted it could be his last World Championship unless his next challenger is Alireza Firouzja (FRA).
Clear Olympic favorites? Several competitors that might already be considered gold medal favorites for Beijing 2022 won their World Cup competitions this weekend: Francesco Friedrich (DEU) keeps extending his World Cup win records in 2-Man and 4-Man, Nils van der Poel (SWE) won the 5000m at the Speed Skating World Cup in Calgary (CAN) after breaking the World Record last week, Johannes Høsflot Klæbo (NOR) won the Men's Cross-Country Sprint in Davos (SUI), Maja Dahlqvist (SWE) won the Women's Sprint, and Therese Johaug (NOR) won the Women's 10k, Jarl Magnus Riiber (NOR) and Gyda Westvold Hansen (NOR) won both Nordic Combined competitions in Otepää (EST), Maxim Burov (RUS) won both Aerials in Ruka (FIN), Cai Xuetong (CHN) won the Snowboard Halfpipe in Copper Mountain (Colorado), and Eileen Gu (CHN) won the Ski Halfpipe. The surprise was that Mikael Kingsbury (CAN) did not win the Moguls in Idre (SWE) but won the non-Olympic Dual Moguls.

Kenneth "Ken" Jones (26 June 1944 – 27 December 2012) was an English footballer. The grandson of Aaron Jones, Jones played for several clubs in The Football League during his career, including Bradford Park Avenue, Southampton, and Cardiff City. He played primarily as a full-back.
Originally from Yorkshire, Jones began his career as a forward for the team of Monckton Colliery, where he was an apprentice electrician at the time; he later converted to a full-back and, despite interest from Arsenal, Aston Villa, and Coventry City, joined Bradford Park Avenue in September 1961 at the age of 16. Making over 100 appearances for the team as a teenager, Jones was dubbed by then-manager Jimmy Scoular as "the best full-back in the Fourth Division".
Jones's performances at Bradford Park Avenue attracted the attention of Southampton manager Ted Bates, who brought him to the club in June 1965, paying £15,000 for the defender. He made his debut for the club in September against Coventry City, but despite being able to play on either the left or the right of defence he struggled to cement a place in the team due to the competition provided by Stuart Williams, Tommy Hare, and David Webb. He made seven appearances at right-back in the 1965–66 season, which saw the Saints promoted to the First Division.

Many months ago a client known as the office to ask us for a solution to a problem he had. He knew his wife was having an affair with another man but he couldn't function out the best way to prove it. He told us all he knew about her affair. He knew it had been going on for some years. He thinks they met whilst she was working as an air stewardess. She worked in some exotic locations and our client believes he would go to many of the locations with her. Our client knew about this affair but he turned a blind eye due to the fact he was also having an affair.
A couple of years ago they decided to be faithful to each other and quit the affairs. He believes he has stuck towards the deal but she has not. He told us that he wanted us to follow her on a Wednesday night for four weeks as he believed that was the night they met.
We did this as he asked for four weeks. Each and every Wednesday for those four weeks she went towards the very same hotel. She would be dressed up really glamorously and she would wait within the bar for a man. The very same man turned up and they would have a drink and then go as much as among the bedrooms. She would come down prior to midnight and go straight residence. We put all the evidence in a report in addition to photos and video footage.
When our client had all the information he decided to take legal action and file for divorce on the grounds of adultery. They are now divorced and though our client is sad he can now move on and discover a partner who will likely be faithful to him.


Prior to starting private sessions we'll have a 30 minute meeting to discuss goals and create a plan for moving forward.
While Michaela has a standard rate for private sessions, she is also a firm believer that access to yoga should never be determined by financial barriers. If finances are a concern sliding scale payment is an option that can be discussed at the initial meeting.


Splendid Inn Bloemfontein by Premier set to open its doors in 2019!
You are here: Home / Travel / Splendid Inn Bloemfontein by Premier set to open its doors in 2019!
Premier Hotels & Resorts continues to cement its presence as one of the fastest growing, independently owned hotel chains in South Africa. Starting off with a humble 40 bedrooms, the group now boasts over 2 000 bedrooms, with properties in almost all of the major cities in South Africa and plans to expand and add 13 new hotels to their portfolio over the next 5 years.
As part of that expansion, the popular hotel group is currently busy with construction on the new Splendid Inn Bloemfontein, which is scheduled to open its doors in the next few months.
The hotel chain has 18 properties nationwide and four sub-brands that fall under Premier Hotels & Resorts, namely: Premier Resorts, Premier Hotels, Splendid Inns by Premier and Express Inns by Premier.
This year the hotel chain announced its R90 million expansion plan, with a key component being increasing its national footprint to Bloemfontein. Affectionately known as the city of roses, Bloemfontein's centrality was a massive draw card for Samuel Nassimov, the hotel chain's founder and Managing Director. Located at the halfway mark between most of the country's major cities, Nassimov explains that investing in the area fits seamlessly into the groups strategy, "our long term plan is to increase our presence in all key cities across South Africa and this is another step in the right direction for us".
Since the construction of the new hotel, over 360 construction jobs have been created while 65 permanent staff will be employed to manage the operations of the new hotel. The first phase of refurbishment will be completed in January 2019 while the final phase is set to be done by February 2019.
What can you expect at Splendid Inn Bloemfontein?
Next on the agenda for the popular hotel group is the construction of two brand new hotels in Umhlanga. The Group's R380 million investment in the region will result in a 4-star Premier Hotel as well as a 3-star Splendid Inn by Premier which is scheduled to be completed in November 2019.
The new Splendid Inn Bloemfontein hotel will be open by February 2019 for business and leisure.

Der Uetliberg oder Üetliberg (ausgesprochen auf Zürichdeutsch: []; literarisch auch Uto genannt) ist der  hohe Hausberg von Zürich und ein beliebtes Naherholungsgebiet.

Als nördlicher Abschluss der Albis-Bergkette () erhebt sich der Uetliberg über den Zürcher Quartieren Leimbach, Wiedikon, Albisrieden (mit Triemli) und Altstetten, auf der Südwestseite schliessen das Reppischtal mit Uitikon und Stallikon (mit Sellenbüren) an. Der Gipfel des Uetlibergs gehört zur Gemeinde Stallikon.

Geschichte

Auf dem Uetliberg bestand schon in der Bronzezeit eine Fluchtburg beziehungsweise in keltischer Zeit ein Oppidum. Es fand sich auch Keramik aus der Bronze- und der Römerzeit. Herausragender Einzelfund bleibt die winzige Scherbe einer schwarzfigurigen, aus Attika importierten Schale, die in die Zeit um 500 v. Chr. datiert werden kann. Sie zeigt den Ausschnitt eines Pferdekopfes.
Verschiedene archäologische Funde wie Wallanlagen und Fürstengrabhügel Sonnenbühl sind heute noch zu besichtigen.

Die Fluchtburg Uetliburg bestand seit dem 10. Jahrhundert.
Der Uetliberg und der nahe Albiskamm waren im Mittelalter Standort von sechs Burgen, von denen heute nur noch Reste vorhanden sind: Uetliburg, Sellenbüren, Friesenberg, Baldern, Schnabelburg und Manegg.

Die erste Erwähnung der Uͦtelenburh datiert auf das frühe 13. Jahrhundert. Der Name ist abgeleitet von einem alemannischen Personennamen Uotilo;
althochdeutsch *Uotilinburg wäre demnach die ‹Burg des Uotilo›.
Es wurde vorgeschlagen, dass dieser Uotilo identisch sein könnte mit Odilo, von 736–748 Herzog von Bayern.
Die Schreibung Uͤetliberg findet sich auf dem Murerplan (1566), Uetliberg auf der Gygerkarte (1667) und Üetliberg erstmals 1763.
Die Dufourkarte von 1861 hatte Uetliberg, die Siegfriedkarte von 1881 bis 1902 schrieb Ütliberg, seit 1913 wieder Uetliberg.

1267 zerstörten angeblich die Zürcher unter Rudolf von Habsburg im Zuge der Regensberger Fehde die Uetliburg, dies gilt jedoch nicht als historisch gesichert. 1750 bestieg der Dichter Friedrich Gottlieb Klopstock den Berg. Die Bezeichnung Uto als literarische Form von Üetli oder Uotilo geht zurück auf die Ode  «Der Zürchersee» von  Klopstock (1750/1), «Schon lag weit hinter uns Uto, an dessen Fuss Zürich […]». Seither trat Uto als Namensbestandteil von Zürcher Gebäuden, Strassen und Vereinen auf; seit 1940 ist Uto Kulm als Name des Hotels auf dem Uetliberg auf der Landeskarte verzeichnet.

Ab 1644 war der Gipfel des Uetliberg  Standort einer Hochwacht.
1812 wurde die Hochwacht Uetliberg aufgehoben, 1815 eröffnete in der ehemaligen Hochwacht ein Gastwirtschaftsbetrieb. 1894 wurde der erste Aussichtsturm gebaut.

Unterhalb und westlich des ehemaligen Berggasthauses «Annaburg» (abgebrochen 1990)
liegt der Bauernhof Alt Uetliberg, erstmals erwähnt um 1620 und vermutlich wesentlich älter und Zeuge alter Bauernkultur auf dem Uetliberg. 1984 wollte der Kanton Zürich die Gebäude abreissen lassen. Dagegen wehrte sich erfolgreich eine Petition. Heute dienen die Gebäude als Pfadfinderheim.

Eine hölzerne Skisprungschanze wurde 1954 südlich oberhalb des Bauernhauses Alt Uetliberg erstellt. In den 70er-Jahren wurde ein Schanzenrekord von 41,5 Meter erzielt. Wegen häufigem Schneemangel und nachlassendem Publikumsinteresse wurde die Schanze 1994 abgerissen.

Während des Zweiten Weltkriegs wurde das Gebiet des Uetlibergs und der Waldegg im Rahmen der ersten Armeestellung (Limmatstellung) mit über 100 verbunkerten Unterständen befestigt.

Gebäude

Bergrestaurant «Uto Kulm»
1815 eröffnete in der ehemaligen Hochwacht ein Gastwirtschaftsbetrieb. 1838 erwarb Friedlich Bluntschli das Gipfelgebiet von seinem Vetter Gerber Bluntschli; der Zürcher Architekt Johann Caspar Breitinger erbaute ihm das erste Kurhaus. Im Jahr 1840 eröffnete Friedrich Beyel das Gast- und Kurhaus Uetliberg. Am 8. März 1840 stürzte der Bergsteiger, Naturforscher und Zürcher Armensekretär Friedrich von Dürler nach dem Besuch des Gasthauses beim Abstieg zu Tode. Der Dürlerstein beim heutigen Bergrestaurant Uto Staffel erinnert an ihn. 1873 kaufte der Hotelier Caspar Fürst den Berggasthof.

Das bestehende Haus wurde vergrössert und nördlich davon ein Hotel errichtet. 1927 wurde das Hotel Uetliberg von der Stadt Zürich übernommen, der ETH-Zürich-Lehrwald wurde errichtet. Im Jahr 1935 erwarben die Brüder Niedermann, beide Grossmetzger in Zürich, das Berggasthaus, während das Hotel 1943 infolge Baufälligkeit abgebrochen wurde.
1973 gelangte das Berggasthaus in den Besitz der Generalunternehmung Karl Steiner. 1983 kaufte die Schweizerische Bankgesellschaft das Berggasthaus Uto Kulm.

1999 kaufte Giusep Fry das Berggasthaus mit Aussichtsturm. Er nahm in der Folge verschiedene Umbauten vor, die vom Bundesgericht als illegal erklärt wurden. 2022 übergab Fry die Leitung an seinen Sohn Fabian.

Aussichtsturm
1894 entstand der erste Aussichtsturm.
1990 wurde der Aussichtsturm durch einen Neubau ersetzt, den Aussichtsturm Uetliberg.

Fernsehturm

1953 wurde der 75 Meter hohe Fernsehsendeturm erbaut, es fanden erste Versuchsausstrahlungen statt. 1968 ersetzte ein 132 Meter hoher Sendeturm den Turm aus dem Jahr 1953. Im Jahr 1968 wurde der Friedhof Eichbühl fertiggestellt, ein bedeutendes Werk Schweizerischer Landschaftsarchitektur. Die Bahngesellschaft Zürich-Uetliberg und die Sihltalbahn fusionierten zur SZU.

Verkehr

Uetlibergbahn

1872 wurde die Uetlibergbahn-Gesellschaft gegründet. Die Eröffnung der Strecke war 1875. Vom Bahnhof Selnau führte die Strecke mit 40 ‰ Steigung zur Endstation Uetliberg, knapp unter dem Gipfel. 1920 wurde die Uetlibergbahn stillgelegt und die Betriebsgesellschaft liquidiert. Zwei Jahre später nahm die neu gegründete Bahngesellschaft Zürich-Uetliberg den Bahnbetrieb wieder auf. 1923 erfolgte die Elektrifizierung der Bahnstrecke. Das Restaurant "Gmüetliberg" an der Endstation wurde 1967 durch die Bahngesellschaft übernommen. 1990 wurde die Strecke bis zum Hauptbahnhof Zürich verlängert.

Uetlibergtunnel
2009 wurde der Uetlibergtunnel als Teilstück der Autobahn A3 eröffnet.

Naherholungsgebiet

Erschliessung und Infrastruktur

Die touristische Erschliessung begann im 19. Jahrhundert mit der Uetlibergbahn (Eröffnung 1875) und dem Bau verschiedener Hotels und Gasthäuser auf dem Uetliberg und der Albiskette. Heute stehen auf dem Gipfel des Uetliberges das Traditionshotel Uto Kulm und der Aussichtsturm Uetliberg, der ganzjährig öffentlich zugänglich ist.

Erschlossen wird der autofreie Üetliberg durch die zum Zürcher S-Bahn-Netz gehörende Linie S10 der Sihltal-Zürich-Uetliberg-Bahn, die als steilste normalspurige Adhäsionsbahn Europas vom Hauptbahnhof bis zur Station Uetliberg zehn Gehminuten unterhalb des Gipfels führt. Von der Bahnstation aus führt der Planetenweg Uetliberg–Felsenegg zur Felsenegg, wo die Luftseilbahn Adliswil–Felsenegg nach Adliswil hinunter führt. Die Luftseilbahn Leimbach–Mädikon ist nicht öffentlich.

Von der Stadt Zürich führen verschiedene Wanderwege in etwa einer Stunde zum Gipfel:
 Der abwechslungsreiche «Denzlerweg» führt vom Albisgüetli (Endstation Tramlinie 13) in ziemlich gerader Richtung zum Gipfel. Er ist benannt nach einem Bäcker Denzler, der auf diesem Weg seine Semmeln jeden Morgen ins Hotel auf dem Gipfel gebracht und diesen Weg etwa 4000-mal gemacht haben soll.
 Ebenfalls vom Albisgüetli führt der «Laternenweg» etwas weiter westlich auf den Grat. Er hat seinen Namen von seiner früheren Gaslaternenbeleuchtung, die seit 2003 elektrifiziert ist.
 Vom Triemli (Endstation Tramlinie 14) führt der «Hohensteinweg» über eine Bergschulter nach oben, der im Winter als Schlittelweg besonders beliebt ist.
 Von Uitikon-Waldegg (Parkplatz) führt eine Waldstrasse zum Gipfel. Dieser Weg hat die geringste Steigung.

Im Winter ist der Uetliberg besonders beliebt, da sein Gipfel oft oberhalb der Zürcher Hochnebeldecke ist. Früher trugen bei solchen Inversionswetterlagen die Tramlinien, die zum Fuss des Uetlibergs fahren, die Tafel «Uetliberg hell». Im Winter werden einige der Wanderwege als Schlittelwege genutzt.

Swisscom Broadcast betreibt auf dem Uetliberg eine bedeutende Fernmeldeanlage (den Fernsehturm Uetliberg) für die Weiterverbreitung von Radio- und Fernsehprogrammen.

Der Uetliberg bietet – vor allem von dem auf dem Berggipfel gelegenen Aussichtsturm Uetliberg aus – Aussicht über die ganze Stadt und den Zürichsee. Die Fernsicht erstreckt sich bei guter Witterung im Norden bis zum Hohentwiel, vom Osten bis Süden in die Glarner, Bündner und Berner Alpen. Weitere Höhenzüge in Deutschland (Schwarzwald), Frankreich (Vogesen) und Österreich sind ebenfalls zu erkennen.

Klettergebiet

Die etwa 20 Meter hohen Konglomeratfelswände des Uetlibergs haben besondere Bedeutung für die Entwicklung des Schweizer Sportkletterns. 1978 wurde der Kletterclub Üetliberg KCÜ gegründet, eine informelle Vereinigung von Bergsteigern aus Zürich und Umgebung.

Mitglieder der anarcho-dadaistischen Vereinigung, deren einzige Statute darin bestand, dass jegliche Statuten aufgehoben gehören, waren junge Sport- und Spitzenkletterer, die an den Nagelfluhfelsen des Uetlibergs trainierten. Initiant war Bergführer Walter Müller von der Jugendorganisation der Sektion Uto des Schweizer Alpen-Clubs.
Zu den Gründern, die sich darauf auch als Alpinisten und Pioniere des alpinen Sportkletterns einen Namen machten, gehörten Martin Scheel, Gabriel Huber, Thomas Müller und Roland Heer. Sie waren einige der ersten Freikletterer der Schweiz.
Um in den KCÜ aufgenommen zu werden, musste lediglich der 35 Meter hohe Turm auf dem Uetliberg free solo, also seilfrei, erklettert werden samt Überwindung des Schlussüberhangs auf die Plattform. Der Club entstand im Umfeld der Zürcher Jugendbewegung von 1980.
Der politische Aktivismus der KCÜ-Mitglieder spiegelt sich oft auch in den Namen ihrer Erstbegehungen wider, zum Beispiel der Route Metzerstrasse 58/61 im Jura. Das war die Adresse eines besetzten Hauses, in dem einige Mitglieder lebten. Im Laufe der Zeit löste sich der informelle KCÜ wieder auf.

Noch heute trainieren Kletterer auf dem Uetliberg. Nach heutigen Massstäben hat der Uetliberg als Klettergebiet jedoch nur noch untergeordnete Bedeutung. Es gibt zwölf Routen in den Schwierigkeitsgraden zwischen 6a+ und 7a+.

Mountainbike-Trails

Nachdem es zu starken Interessenkonflikten zwischen Wanderern und Bikern gekommen war, erarbeitete die Stadt Zürich ein Nutzungskonzept für den Uetliberg. Im Frühsommer 2005 wurde der Biketrail Triemli eröffnet. Die Mountainbike-Strecke beginnt beim Fernsehturm und führt über eine Länge von 3,5 km und eine Höhendifferenz von 350 m zur SZU-Station Triemli. Zudem gibt es den etwas kürzeren, südöstlich gelegenen Biketrail Höckler. Gleichzeitig wurde der Velotransport durch die Bahn eingeschränkt. Insgesamt führte das Konzept zu einer deutlichen Verbesserung.

Wenngleich sich der Biketrail Triemli grosser Beliebtheit erfreut, gibt es auch kritische Stimmen, die den losen steinigen Untergrund und eine unglückliche Linenwahl bemängeln. Ende 2010 wurde der Verein Züritrails gegründet. Ziel ist es, die Interessen der Mountainbiker zu vertreten und der Stadt Hilfe beim Unterhalt und der Konzeption bestehender und neuer Trails anzubieten. Schnell kam es zu einer produktiven Zusammenarbeit zwischen Verein und Stadt, so dass bereits im April 2011 Trail-Bautage stattfanden. Bei diesem ersten Event wurde der Biketrail Triemli ausgebessert und die Attraktivität durch neue Elemente und flüssigere Kurven für Anfänger sowie Profis erhöht.

Schreibweise
Beide Schreibweisen Uetliberg und Üetliberg sind verbreitet und gebräuchlich. Offiziell ist gemäss Landeskarte und in amtlicher Vermessung Uetliberg.

Vereinzelt ist in älteren Dokumenten auch die Schreibweise Hüetliberg anzutreffen.

El programa comenzaba con un monólogo del presentador, seguido de dos entrevistas a invitados famosos o de actualidad. Contaba además con la colaboración de una serie de cómicos que intervenían después de cada entrevista.

El objetivo del programa, según sus propios creadores, era "conseguir respuestas espontáneas, y divertidas, rodeadas de un entorno de risas, aplausos, y cómplice."

Este programa duró desde abril de 2004 a junio de 2007, presentado por Dani Mateo y varios colaboradores humoristas surgidos en Paramount Comedy España.

Surf ponchos are Futah's new accessory this summer. Futah wanted to create a surf-style poncho with Futah fabric, unlike any other.
Ponchos already existed in the pre-inca culture and they are still around us with several transformations since then. The poncho already existed since 500 B.C. in the area where now is Bolivia, Chile, Peru and Ecuador where ponchos are still a typical garment. It has always been a piece of clothing designed with the purpose of keeping your body warm and afterwards to keep your body dry from the rain.
Faced with the current poncho's offer in the market Futah decided it was time to revolutionize ponchos as well as to create a poncho that can be used as a Surf Poncho so surfers can have all the comfort they need or to be used as a poncho beach towel so you can stand out from the crowd in the beach.
Our ponchos fabric and patterns we also created so you can also use them in a cold night, at a bonfire at the beach or take it to a festival.
In order to make your Surf Poncho even more unique we give you the flexibility to customize it and personalize it by having your name/brand or message on it, also making this the perfect gift to your friend or soulmate.
The result is a lightweight, rugged, 100% cotton surf poncho that dries super fast and still takes up very little space - it's the perfect surf poncho for a day catching waves or for a walk on the beach.
Here at Futah we love to listen to our customers and this is the reason why we came up with this new collection.
Get to know our unique beach towels, our unique round beach towels, our extra large picnic blanket collection or our collection of kids beach towels.

Desert Island Discs
Dr Kevin Fong
Kirsty Young interviews Dr Kevin Fong, consultant anaesthetist and science broadcaster.
Kirsty Young's castaway is Dr. Kevin Fong. He is a consultant anaesthetist at University College Hospital London, and an expert on space medicine. He is a senior lecturer in Physiology at UCL and the co-director of the Centre for Aviation, Space and Extreme Environment Medicine.
Born to parents who had come to the UK from Mauritius, he grew up in London. His parents put great emphasis on education - which they had both missed out on in their youth.
Kevin's first degree was in astrophysics and he went on to study medicine.
He has combined his love of space with medicine and has spent time working at the Johnson Space Centre in the US.
He has been a consultant anaesthetist since 2010, but has kept pursuing his interests in extreme environments from space to altitude and depth. He has made many television documentaries about his field of interest and gave the 2015 Royal Institution Christmas Lectures.

Want to learn about a program that teaches individuals how to balance time, manage stress, eat mindfully, be physically active, and sleep well in order to live a more balanced life? Then this webinar is for you! This training equips participants with the information they need to adapt and deliver the Balanced Living curriculum in conjunction with existing parent education and family strengthening programs.
Balanced Living was written by Laura Sant and Marnie Spencer, two extension educators from the University of Idaho with many years of experience teaching adult audiences. During this 90-minute webinar, the authors will provide an overview of the curriculum and how it can be conducted. Joining them in the presentation is Barbara Petty, also of University of Idaho Extension.
Five units cover the skills for balanced living in five key areas: time management, stress management, mindful eating, physical activity, and sleep. The curriculum can be taught as stand-alone, one-hour classes or as a five-part series. Balanced Living comes with tools for advertising the series, presenting the five units, and evaluating outcomes.
Sant, L. and Spencer, M.
