Should You Visit Saudi Arabia?
Where to Spend Your Tourism Dollars
Q&A with Expat Who Lived in Saudi Arabia
What brought you to Saudi Arabia?
What were your initial reactions when you first started living/working in Saudi Arabia?
What was your day-to-day life like in Saudi Arabia?
What was it like living in Saudi Arabia as a woman? Clothing? Restrictions? Treatment?
What did you like about life in Saudi Arabia?
What didn't you like about life in Saudi Arabia?
How did your opinion change over time after living in Saudi?
In light of all the recent news with the death of Jamal Khashoggi, etc., what was the atmosphere like there? Did locals talk about it or Prince MBS? Obviously here in the USA and in the UK, we can talk freely about issues we have with our governments (which we clearly both do right now!) without fear. How is this different there?

For the first time, many travelers can now get a Saudi Arabia tourist visa. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has recently announced it will start issuing tourist visas allowing travelers to obtain a 90-day, multiple entry visa to enter the country. The new Saudi visa has been extended to 49 countries, including the U.S., Canada, the U.K., much of the E.U., and Australia. Tourists will be able to apply online for an e-Visa or gain a visa on arrival in Saudi Arabia. A dedicated online portal at visitsaudi.com has launched, and electronic kiosks are available at airports now. The visa fee is 440 Saudi riyals (approximately $117) and includes a health insurance fee.
It's a good idea to brush up on the laws and customs before arrival. Travelers will need to dress modestly (cover elbows and knees), but it's important to note that female tourists will no longer need to wear an abaya (full length cloak). Alcohol is illegal in Saudi Arabia and it is illegal to bring alcohol or drugs into the country.
Al Nefud Desert, Saudi Arabia
Up until now Saudi Arabia has been mostly closed off to tourism. Previously, Saudi visas were restricted to Muslims visiting to perform the annual Hajj pilgrimage, or those on business trips or expats working in Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia tourist visas were only issued for select group tours. And it was particularly difficult for single women to visit the kingdom. You may recall that women in Saudi Arabia have only recently been allowed to drive and local women, can also travel within the country unescorted by a man for the first time.
It is another initiative of the 34-year-old Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, Mohammad bin Salman (often called MBS) in his Vision 2030 to "modernize" the kingdom and essentially lower its dependence on oil.
Saudi Arabia is the largest country in the Middle East and the 13th largest in the world. It has five UNESCO World Heritage Sites and has some pretty stunning landscapes including the largest continuous desert in the world and the Al Wahbah Crater.
When considering visiting or even working in Saudi Arabia, there is much to consider. Contrary to what many American's first knee-jerk reaction would be, safety is really not a primary concern. I would say it's more of an ethical decision.
The Saudi Arabian government is heavily invested in the growing tourism sector, and will profit from most hotel stays, restaurant meals, and other tourist attractions. There are many countries in the world whose governments and political leaders may do things we don't want to support. But when it's hard to find independent hotels or tour companies and the money from your tourism riyals (the currency of KSA) will go straight into the pockets of that government, it can make the case for visiting a bit more complicated for some.
In Saudi Arabia, the royal family dominates the political system. The family's vast numbers allow it to control most of the kingdom's important posts and to have an involvement at all levels of government.
In recent years, Saudi Arabia has undergone a process of political and social reform. And there has been mounting pressure to reshape and modernize the royal family's rule. To what extent that is actually happening is up for debate.
The Saudi Arabia tourist visa announcement came right at the one year anniversary of the murder of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi. He was killed at the hands of the Saudi government for publishing critical pieces. The CIA's investigation concluded with high confidence that crown prince Mohammed had ordered Jamal's killing.
Within the Saudi legal system judges can use personal interpretation of Sharia to any particular case. Capital and physical punishments are still imposed by Saudi courts, such as beheading, stoning (to death), amputation, crucifixion and lashing. Some judges can be ultra-harsh in their punishments and yet super-lenient for others, often in terms of wife-beating and rape. Several organizations like Amnesty International condemn the Saudi criminal justice system.
Human rights issues include capitol punishment for homosexuality, a lack of religious freedom and the disadvantaged position of women. This last one is supposedly changing — women were granted the right to drive in 2018 (although some women's rights activists who protested for this very right are still being detained), a woman can now open her own business without a man's permission, and now women can travel independently.
It is also very important to note that U.S. and Saudi Arabia are strategic allies. The United States sold more than $80 billion in military equipment between 1951 and 2006 to the Saudi military. The United Kingdom has also been a major supplier of military equipment to Saudi Arabia. The relations with the U.S. became strained following 9/11. American politicians and media accused the Saudi government of supporting terrorism and tolerating a jihadist culture. Osama bin Laden and 15 of the 19 hijackers were from Saudi Arabia. Yet under both Obama and Trump, billions of dollars worth of arms have still been sold to Saudi Arabia.
Clearly, this can be extremely complicated and I'm only scratching the surface here.
Would I visit Saudi Arabia? For adventurous reasons, yes. It certainly piques my curiosity. It's a place that has been closed off for so long and as one of the most conservative countries in the world, it is culturally different that anywhere I've been before. And I know from other middle eastern countries I've visited, despite how the governments may act, the locals can be very hospitable and welcoming.
But for ethical reasons, I don't think I can, at least not right now.
While some may disagree, traveling is political. It's hard to separate the two in cases like this. You have to make a choice about where your tourism dollars will go and if you are okay with that.
A British travel friend of mine, Susan Kearton, who I met during my time volunteering at Pueblo Ingles in Spain (a sort-of weeklong "camp" with the goal to help Spanish business folks improve their conversational English), recently worked in Saudi Arabia for three years.
Susan tells us what it's like to be an expat living and working in Saudi Arabia as a woman.

I'm an optimistic realist with a dry sense of humour who caught the travel bug at a young age. Singing, listening to music and theatre are favourite pastimes too. I've worked in the field of PR and Communications for the past 14 years … so it could be time for a change. Born and raised in Britain, I consider myself a European and my least favourite word is currently Brexit!
I was contacted by an in-house recruiter. My initial reaction was there was no way I wanted to work in the Middle East, but after researching the organisation and giving it greater consideration, I decided I had nothing to lose and it would be an adventure, despite having a few reservations about the proposed role.
After clearing immigration, I claimed my luggage and found the taxi that was waiting to take me to the company's residential compound. I remember arriving at my accommodation around midnight and feeling excited about my lovely apartment and the adventure ahead.
The following day my recruiter showed me around the compound and the morning after that was my first day in the office, which was located on the same site and pretty impressive having been designed by the late architect Zaha Hadid. The multi-national staff comprised of Saudis and expats from 20 countries seemed pretty friendly and welcoming. Initially, being mindful of the different culture, I was cautious in my interactions with Saudi colleagues to avoid potential offence, but I quickly realised I could be my normal self.

Life was definitely more limited. The working day was 7:00 AM – 4:00 PM, after which I would go to the gym or swimming pool (the site had great sporting facilities), or take the compound shuttle bus to the supermarket.
Unlike the western compounds in Riyadh, my company compound housed Saudi colleagues and their families along with expats so it was more conservative in nature, e.g. a 1-piece swimsuit rather than a bikini had to be worn at the pool. Male and female staff below a certain grade were housed in the separate male and female apartment blocks where visitors of the opposite sex were prohibited, although there was no restriction on the gender of guests for staff living in villas – so this was where the social gatherings generally took place.
To a large extent, having an active social life outside the company compound depended on connecting with decent social networks and having contacts that could get you tickets for Embassy parties and other events. My life included attending a weekly Christian fellowship held in an embassy, joining a choral society, going to few embassy parties and events, occasionally eating at a restaurant, and socialising with multi-national work colleagues living on the company compound.
Although wearing an abaya (long black cloak) in public was required, as a western woman I didn't have to cover my head. Fortunately, in my workplace women only needed to dress modestly in clothes that covered the knees and reached the elbow. A few expats chose to wear the abaya to work for ease, however, around 97% of my female Saudis colleagues wore abayas to the office and covered their head – some through choice, but many due to cultural pressure.
On the whole, I didn't feel I was treated differently at work as a woman, neither did I feel a second class citizen when out and about in public. The western impression that all Saudi women are suppressed and completely male dominated just isn't true, however I do acknowledge that women are more restricted and their treatment largely depends on their family situation.

The crime rate is low. For example, I could put my bag down in a store without worrying that it could be snatched, whereas in the West I tend to hold on to my belongings for dear life in public. I also felt completely safe walking home alone in the dark from the office to the residential compound (about 15 minutes away) after frequently working late.
I liked the warm climate. Even though it is extremely hot during the summer months, everywhere is air conditioned so the weather was a lot more tolerable than I was expecting.
Saudis are particularly family oriented. The family unit is central and members are extremely close and supportive. I'm mindful this could correspondingly be detrimental if the family is unduly controlling, but I think western society would benefit from family members being more supportive of each other and taking better care of the elderly.
I disliked shopping as shops would close for 20-30 minutes for prayer several times a day, during which time you had to wait outside. The majority of clothes shops didn't have changing rooms so you couldn't try clothes on before purchasing and the return policy was limited to 3-5 days. Subsequently, I did the majority of my shopping during visits back to the UK.
The general inefficiency and lack of customer service across the board was frustrating — thank goodness this is gradually improving.
Living in Riyadh, I disliked the lack of green and varied landscapes.
And I disliked having to wear a black abaya in public, especially in the searing summer heat.
The driving and traffic is pretty bad in Riyadh and I found the road layouts confusing. The lack of public transport options (although a metro is currently being constructed) required the use of compound taxis, which had to be booked way in advance to guarantee availability. I didn't feel comfortable using the general local taxis. Now that the ban has been lifted on women driving, there are increasing numbers of female drivers on the roads and I think their presence will encourage men to drive more safely.
I went with a fairly open mind, although was geared up for the culture to be tougher than it actually was. Despite cultural differences, globally people share the same traits. I did notice a relaxing of the culture during my three years there, e.g. the religious police lost their power to approach people in public places, cinemas reopened, women started wearing more colourful abayas, and public events such as Cirque du Soleil were staged, that both men and women were allowed to attend.
It wasn't an open topic of conversation with the locals – not in public anyway – although some expats did discuss the news in private.
Many Saudis and expats alike spoke fondly of the former king, who cared about education and women. During his rule many universities were opened in the Kingdom and young people were also given an opportunity to study abroad.
It's true that Saudi Arabia doesn't subscribe to the same level of freedom of speech that we have in the West so, unsurprisingly, I didn't experience my Saudi colleagues publicly expressing negative opinions of MBS and the ruling family.

I was rather underwhelmed by the local food. Apart from a few traditional dishes, generic Middle Eastern food was eaten, (particularly Lebanese cuisine). However, there was an abundance of every type of restaurant including numerous American chains. Saudis enjoy eating out! Shops selling high end chocolates were also abundant and popular.
I found the Saudis I met socially to be pleasant and approachable. I had good working relationships with my male and female Saudi colleagues who were predominantly well-educated, financially comfortable and forward thinking, especially the younger generation, although perhaps not representative of the local population as a whole.
When I accompanied an American friend to a really poor area in central Riyadh to give away some unwanted items, I was surprised at the poor living conditions of the people living there. It was the first time I'd seen Saudis living in poverty and belied the myth that all Saudis are rich. Also, the higher electricity and petrol prices are impacting many families.
On weekend trips out of the city to Jeddah, the Farasan Islands, and Abha, I found the people to be more laid back, open and friendly than those living in Riyadh – comparable to the north/south divide in the UK.
I would consider working in Saudi again, but on a much shorter term basis than my previous three-year contract. I have a couple of good friends there and the tax-free salary, which can provide funds for travel, is an obvious draw. However, living back in the UK, I'm enjoying activities that most people take for granted such as being able to walk or take public transport into town, going to the theatre, religious freedom, and having a glass of wine with a meal.

Wow this is a really interesting read! You bring up a lot of good points to consider when deciding whether to visit a country like Saudi Arabia.
We faced similar considerations earlier this year when deciding whether to visit Iran, but did go and it was amazing! Iran definitely has more independent tourism infrastructure available, but you're still giving the regime money…
Anyway, awesome article!
Thank you Ashlea! Iran is on my list too and I've been waffling on that one. So glad you enjoyed it. I know many who've been now and said it was great and the locals are wonderful. It's looks gorgeous and I already love Persian food.

Also, with when you activate the HEOS Alexa Skill, you can control some of the AVR-X4400H's features using an Amazon Echo device.
If you are looking for a high-end home theater receiver that looks as good as it sounds, and also packs in more than you would expect, the Marantz SR7012 might just the ticket.
Behind its uniquely stylish front panel, the SR7012 packs it in, starting with 9 built-in amplifiers that can deliver as much as 125 wpc. In addition, there are two subwoofer outputs and two sets of preamp outputs for connecting two external amplifiers that can expand the SR7012 to 11.2 channels, supporting a lot of speaker setup options for all surround sound formats including Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and Auro 3D audio for a fully-immersive surround sound experience.
For video, this receiver is 3D, 4K, HDR (includes HDR10, Dolby Vision, and Hybrid Log Gamma) pass through compatible, as well as providing up to 4K upscaling.
The SR7012 has more connection options that some might need - but it is better to have more than not enough. 8 HDMI inputs are provided as well as three HDMI outputs. HDMI outputs 1 and 2 output the same signal, but the third output can send a different HDMI source signal to a Zone 2 setup (Zone 2 and 3 preamp audio outputs are also included).

The home theater receiver and HEOS functions can be easily controlled via the Marantz AVR Remote App for iOS and Android (standard wireless remote is also included). Also, some of the SR-7012's features can be controlled using Alexa voice control via an Amazon Echo device with the Alexa HEOS skill enabled.
Onkyo offers a wide range of home theater receivers in all price ranges, but their RZ-series takes everything up a notch, and TX-RZ920 is a good example.
First off, the RZ920 is THX Select2 Plus certified. This means that Onkyo has optimized the receiver for use in rooms up to 2,000 cubic feet size, and where the seat-to-screen viewing distance is about 10-to-12 feet.
The core audio features of the RZ920 include a built-in 9.2 channel configuration (can be expanded to 11.2 channels via the addition of external amplifiers), with Dolby Atmos and DTS:X audio decoding capability (DTS:X is added via free firmware update).
The TX-RZ920 supports both HDMI 2.0a specification which provides HDR (Dolby Vision, HDR10, HLG) pass-through and HDCP 2.2 copy protection on 5 of its HDMI inputs. This provides secure access for 4K streaming and other applicable content passing, such as the Ultra HD Blu-ray Disc format). 1080p, 4K, Wide Color Gamut, and 3D pass-through, as well as analog-to-HDMI video conversion, are provided for all inputs.

For added flexibility, the RZ920 provides multi-zone functionality with both powered and line outputs for a Zone 2 configuration, as well as preamp line output for a Zone 3 option (the preamp output options require external amplifiers).
If you are looking for a home theater receiver that has you covered for audio, video, and internet streaming – definitely check out the Onkyo TX-RZ920.
For movie and music lovers alike, the Onkyo TX-RZ3100 delivers exceptional sound quality, delivering 140 and 200 W/Ch to 11 channels. The model comes with 8 HDMI inputs and 2 HDMI outputs — some of which support 4K/60 Hz video — so you can experience music videos as if you're actually there.
The Onkyo supports DTS:X and Dolby Atmos, but what sets this series apart is its THX Certification which all but guarantees theater-level sound quality. That is, low distortion and high volume — in your A/V system.
This receiver also boasts AccuReflex technology which creates the most effective surround-sound experience based on your room's specific dimensions. Part of the AccuEQ room calibration suite, the technology optimizes your system by phase-matching the height of floor-standing speakers.
The TX-RZ3100 includes built-in Chromecast, airplay, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and even music streaming apps like Pandora, Spotify and Tidal so you can play your favorite tunes — with theatrical-level sound — from any mobile or wireless device.
Like all Onkyo products, the TX-RZ3100 is backed by a three-year warranty meaning specialists are always on call to troubleshoot installation issues, and your receiver is eligible for replacement or service should it require it.
One of those brands is Anthem, which although known for its high-end audio component separates, such as power amplifiers and preamps, also makes an impressive line of the home theater receivers, referred to as the MRX-series.
There are three MRX models – 520, 720, and 1120.
For easy speaker setup, all of Anthem's MRX Home Theater Receivers incorporate Anthem Room correction which provides accurate speaker setup using a special microphone and software that connects to a PC/Laptop. The PC, via wired or wireless connection, directs the receiver to output test tones that are then read and analyzed by the software. When completed the software sends all the speaker level information to the receiver, and also generates a graphical report than can be saved and printed for future reference.
MRX 520: Provides a 5.1 channel configuration with support for Dolby True HD and DTS-HD Master Audio decoding. 7 HDMI inputs are provided. In addition, an added bonus is that 2 HDMI outputs (parallel) are provided that allow the same video source to be displayed on two TVs, two video projectors, or a TV and video product at the same time.
MRX 720: Additions include up to a 7.1 channel configuration (5.1.2 for Dolby Atmos), as well as Dolby Atmos and DTS:X surround sound audio decoding capability, as well as the incorporation of DTS Play-Fi, which includes access to several internet music streaming services, as well as music content stored on network-connected PCs or media servers, that you can stream from a compatible smartphone to the receiver..
MRX 1120: The MRX 1120 has everything the 720 offers with the addition of 11 channels of amplification, allowing for up to 4 Dolby Atmos height channels, in addition to 7 traditional channels.
The suggested price for the MRX 520 is $1,399, MRX 720 is $2,499, and for the MRX 1120, $3,499 and are only available through authorized Anthem Brick and Mortar and Online Dealers and Installers.
The SC-LX701 also has abundant connection options, including 8 HDMI inputs and 2 HDMI outputs (one of which can supply a separate HD feed to the second Zone), as well as 11.2 channel preamp outputs. However, no 5.1/7.1 channel analog audio inputs or S-video connections are provided. On the other hand, the SC-LX701 includes preamp outputs for Zone 2 and Zone 3 operation as well as a dedicated phono/turntable input for vinyl record fans.
If all of the above isn't enough for you, the SC-LX701, also has up-to-date networking and internet access features, such as DLNA and Windows 8.1/10 compatibility, Apple AirPlay and Internet Radio (Pandora, vTuner and more). Hi-Res audio playback can be accessed via network or USB connected devices; consult the user manual for details on specific file compatibility via each option.
In addition to the provided remote, the SC-LX701 can also be controlled via iControlAV5 App for iOS and Android and integrated into computer-controlled systems via its RS232 port.
Pioneer's Elite receivers are easy to set up with its included MCACC room correction system.
You've put a lot of time into building your personal home theater system, so you need an equally customizable AV receiver to complete the set. With 6 HDMI inputs and 2 outputs (both with HDCP 2.2 support), there's plenty of space to connect your TV, internet and gaming console and still have room to spare. Also, the Sony features subtle IR codes that connect third-party remotes to your system, showing off its adaptive capabilities.
Instead of connecting wirelessly, the receiver uses an 8-port gigabit ethernet switch, so you'll always have the most reliable connection. It supports the standard Dolby ATMOS and DTS:X audio decoding, along with more exciting features, like 4K, 3D, and TRILUMINOS color.
This Sony receiver also produces exceptional audio quality: 130 watts per channel at 8 ohms, with the ability to add two active subwoofers to distribute an equal bass sound. Also, its unique "in-ceiling" mode redirects audio from the front speakers, giving the impression that sound is coming directly from the TV monitor, instead of bouncing off the ceiling.
What all this means is that the DRX-4 and DRX-5 can be used to control video projection screens, lighting, and other components in a home theater setup, as well as being able to be integrated into a system that includes control via PCs and related devices.
In terms of audio and video, both receivers provide up to a 7.2 channel configuration, with 5.1.2 channel support for Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, as well as the full pass-through capability for 3D, 4K, HDR, and Wide Color gamut video signals, and 1080p to 4K upscaling. Both receivers also feature wired and wireless network connectivity for access audio files from local devices as well as internet radio and several streaming music services.
As the first 13.2 channel receiver to support the latest immersive audio formats, the Denon AVR-X8500H has a lot to live up to. And at a $4,000 price point, you best believe that Auro 3D comes as part of the standard package.
While quite a handful of products on this list also support Auro 3D formatting, more often than not, it's offered as an additional upgrade rather than as part of the standard package. Since Dolby Surround and DTS:X formats are essentially the industry standard for audio in American films, it's typically not an issue for most buyers. But if you crave the unique experience of Auro 3D, and don't want to pay extra for it, then this is an A/V receiver worth investing in.
The X8500H model delivers a whopping 150 watts per channel at 8 ohms and contains four high-speed SHARC processors with a combined processing power of 10 GLOPS (10 billion floating point numerical computations per second).
It also features eight HDMI inputs and three HDMI outputs, all enabled with the latest HDCP 2.2 specifications, and the receiver is prepped to support 4K ultra HD sound, HDR Dolby Vision and even eARC audio, for the eventual rise of 3D video. In short, the Denon X8500H model is ready to take you into the future.

Q: UIPageViewController prevent hiding keyboard on scroll I have a UIPageViewController with multiple UIViewController, each one containing a UITextField.
Whenever I slide the UIPageViewController, the keyboard automatically dismisses. Is there a way to prevent this behavior?
Invoking becomeFirstResponder on the new UITextfield but the animation the won't fix the problem.

A: You can try to embed the PageViewController as a ChildViewController of an other viewController.
I believe this way the navigation in the PageViewController will not effect the keyboard.
I am not sure if that is needed, but if it is still not working you can set your ParentViewController as the firstResponder when transition occurs.

A: unfortunately this seems to come from the animation of the transition showing as done, before it is actually done,
the workarounds I can think of are
1. made the animating false
2. set textFieldShouldEndEditing in the next VC to return NO or handle it with a bool
3. add a delay in the animation, or in the next VC viewWillAppear

A: When using setViewControllers on UIPageViewController (setting a controller without the scroll), it seems that the completion block is called just before the scrollView has reached its final position. When it does, it dismisses the first responder.
The solution we found was to first, grab the scroll view:
// In UIPageViewController subclass
for subview in self.view.subviews {

    if let scrollV = subview as? UIScrollView {
        scrollV.delegate = self
        self.scrollView = scrollV // Optional, we don't really need it
    }

}

The scroll view position is done when its offset is the x position of the middle controller. That is, the offset will equal the view's length.
func scrollViewDidScroll(_ scrollView: UIScrollView) {

    if scrollView.contentOffset.x == self.view.width {
        // Transition is 'really' done.
    }
}

At that point, you can send a notification that transition is completed.
What we did, is hold a completion block and call it when the transition is done.
Create a function, so that a controller can pass a block in:
func transitionCompleted(completed:(()->())?) {
        self.transitionCompletedBlock = completed
}

When transition is completed:
self.transitionCompletedBlock?()

The controller with the keyboard will look like:
pagerController.transitionCompleted(completed: {
            self.textfield.becomeFirstResponder()
})

In 1948 Barnett Newman began painting in a new and unique format. Abandoning the use of various other abstract elements on the canvas, Newman instead laid down one or more vertical bands, usually with the help of masking tape. These "zips," as he came to call them, become the organizing principle behind the work, the decisive elements that structure the entire picture.
Concord was painted during Newman's most prolific year. He exhibited the painting in his first solo exhibition at Betty Parsons Gallery in 1950, which was installed with the help of his friend, Mark Rothko. Concord's green layer of paint is uncharacteristically brushy, and it was perhaps with its atmospheric wash in mind that Newman titled the picture after the town famous for Henry David Thoreau's Walden, where he and his wife, Annalee, had honeymooned fourteen years earlier.

Boy pulled from pool, taken to Portland hospital
Ilene Aleshire @ialeshire
SPRINGFIELD � A boy was taken to the hospital Friday after a lifeguard at Splash! at Lively Park noticed he was in trouble and pulled him from the pool, according to Mike Moskovitz, public affairs manager at Willamalane Park and Recreation District, which operates the swim center.
The lifeguard began performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation while someone else called 911, he said.
Moskovitz said swim center employees told him that the boy first was taken to McKenzie-Willamette Medical Center in Springfield by ambulance and then flown to Doernbecher Children�s Hospital in Portland.
�When he left the facility he was breathing,� Moskovitz said. �As far as we know he was stable when he left.�
The boy�s name, age and condition were not available immediately.
Susan Welch of Eugene, who was swimming at the pool on Friday with her son, daughter and her son�s friend, said she was actually the first person to reach the boy in the water.
�I looked over and just saw this kid who was kind of doing a dead-man float,� said Welch, 33. She and her children were just getting out of the pool after 90 minutes of swimming when she noticed the motionless boy.
Welch swam over to the boy and gave him a nudge, but there was no response, she said, so she rolled him over.
�And his face was white, and his lips were purple,� Welch said. �Just lifeless.�
At the point, the lifeguard jumped in and helped her pull the boy out of the water, she said.
Moskovitz said he was told by pool employees that the boy was at the swim center with his younger brother and a nurse, who said the boy has a history of cardiac problems. Those facts could not be confirmed on Friday.
Splash! at Lively Park is a wave pool in which waves are generated artificially to simulate ocean waves. Welch said Friday was her first trip to the pool since she was a middle school student two decades ago, and that she had forgotten what a workout it can be.
Stephanie Dougherty of Eugene said she saw the incident and the lifeguards� response. She and her family were sitting close to the 7-foot-deep side of the pool, Dougherty said, when she saw a man in the pool pulling a child out of the water.
Dougherty said the lifeguards used defibrillators on the boy and performed CPR until medics arrived at the scene.
The emergency medical technicians continued performing CPR as they left, Dougherty said.
The lifeguards �did everything they were supposed to,� she said. �They stopped the waves. Other lifeguards watched everyone else in the pool.�
The pool remained open, but many families left after the incident.
Josh Baer, also of Eugene, entered the building with his family and also saw emergency medical technicians performing CPR on the boy, he said. His family left and came back when it cleared out, he said.
Baer said the experience made his family feel uncomfortable, but they felt safe enough to stay and swim for a while after the incident.
Both Baer and Dougherty, who said she was at the pool for the first time, expressed concern for the boy.
�Poor kid. I�m hoping he�s all right,� Dougherty said. �I�m still shaken.�
Moskovitz said lifeguards at both of Willamalane�s swim centers receive extensive training and take part in regular drills.
On Friday, Moskovitz said, �The lifeguards at Splash! at Lively Park did exactly what they were supposed to do and had been trained to do.�
Team editor Mark Baker contributed to this report.

Events leading to creation
The creation of Linux
Linux under the GNU GPL
GNU/Linux naming controversy
Linux began in 1991 as a personal project by Finnish student Linus Torvalds: to create a new free operating system kernel. The resulting Linux kernel has been marked by constant growth throughout its history. Since the initial release of its source code in 1991, it has grown from a small number of C files under a license prohibiting commercial distribution to the 4.15 version in 2018 with more than 23.3 million lines of source code, not counting comments, under the GNU General Public License v2.

After AT&T had dropped out of the Multics project, the Unix operating system was conceived and implemented by Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie in 1969 and first released in 1970. Later they rewrote it in a new programming language, C, to make it portable. The availability and portability of Unix caused it to be widely adopted, copied and modified by academic institutions and businesses. In 1977, the Berkeley Software Distribution was developed by the Computer Systems Research Group from UC Berkel
In 1991, while studying computer science at University of Helsinki, Linus Torvalds began a project that later became the Linux kernel. He wrote the program specifically for the hardware he was using and independent of an operating system because he wanted to use the functions of his new PC with an 80386 processor. Development was done on MINIX using the GNU C Compiler. As Torvalds wrote in his book Just for Fun, he eventually ended up writing an operating system kernel. On 25 August 1991, he ann
Linus Torvalds had wanted to call his invention Freax, a portmanteau of "free", "freak", and "x". During the start of his work on the system, he stored the files under the name "Freax" for about half of a year. Torvalds had already considered the name "Linux", but initially dismissed it as too egotistical. In order to facilitate development, the files were uploaded to the FTP server of FUNET in September 1991. Ari Lemmke at Helsinki University of Technology, who was one of the volunteer administ
Torvalds first published the Linux kernel under its own licence, which had a restriction on commercial activity. The software to use with the kernel was software developed as part of the GNU project licensed under the GNU General Public License, a free software license. The first release of the Linux kernel, Linux 0.01, included a binary of GNU's Bash shell. In the "Notes for linux release 0.01", Torvalds lists the GNU software that is required to run Linux: Sadly, a kernel by itself gets you no
The designation "Linux" was initially used by Torvalds only for the Linux kernel. The kernel was, however, frequently used together with other software, especially that of the GNU project. This quickly became the most popular adoption of GNU software. In June 1994 in GNU's bulletin, Linux was referred to as a "free UNIX clone", and the Debian project began calling its product Debian GNU/Linux. In May 1996, Richard Stallman published the editor Emacs 19.31, in which the type of system was renamed

Just like its namesake, the camelback sofa has a difficulty or maybe two that accents the primary silhouette of this couch design. This can be a traditional design which was prominent within the 1700s by Chippendale and households who wanted aristocratic, official Avery Console Table often opted for this style. Today, this sofa design lends a more formal atmosphere to any space, especially when upholstered inside a official fabric. A far more informal fabric choice would make it suitable for a household room that doesnt require a lot of custom. Either way, the camelback couch has some elements that characterize the style. The thighs are typically uncovered, the couch doesn't have back cushions and it normally has sq . or rolled arms.

Phanthog, also known as Phantog and Pan Duo (), was a Tibetan mountaineer. She is known for being the first woman to summit Mount Everest via its North Face route, the first Chinese woman to summit Everest, and the second woman to reach the summit, after Junko Tabei.

Biography
Phanthog was born in 1939 into a serf family in rural Tibet. After her father died when she was eight, she was forced to help her mother support the family by working long days performing backbreaking manual labor.

While working in a factory, Phanthog was chosen to be part of the Chinese female mountaineering team at the age of 20 because of her excellent physical condition. Her 1959 ascent of Muztagh Ata in Xinjiang, with an elevation of , broke the record for the highest altitude reached by a female mountaineer.

After summiting Everest in 1975, Phanthog served as a deputy in the National People's Congress for five terms and became vice director of the Wuxi Sports Administration in 1981. She returned to Everest in 2008 at the age of 70 by hiking to Everest Base Camp to celebrate the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. She was also one of eight former athletes chosen that year to carry the Olympic flag into the Olympics opening ceremony. In 2009, she was honored by China's State General Administration of Sports as one of the 60 most influential Chinese athletes since the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949.

She died on March 31, 2014, at the age of 75 due to complications related to diabetes.

1975 Everest climb
Alongside eight other members of a Chinese-Tibetan expedition, Phanthog summited Mount Everest on May 27, 1975. She became the second woman to successfully climb Everest, reaching the summit only 11 days after Junko Tabei's ascent via the southeast ridge route, and the first woman to climb it from the Tibetan side.

The nine summiters were part of an 18-person "victory team," of which Phanthog was deputy leader, that had set out from Everest Base Camp 10 days prior. Although two other women had climbed to , they began suffering from altitude sickness and had to be evacuated (along with seven men), leaving Phanthog as the only woman remaining in the team.

The team was at the summit of Everest for 70 minutes. While at the top, Phanthog spent seven minutes performing an ECG test as a medical experiment. Lead I of her test, which showed nothing unusual, was then sent to base camp via telemetry.

Phanthog lost three of her toes to frostbite as a result of the climb. She recognized the example that she set for women and for female mountaineers, later saying: "Chinese women have a strong will; difficulties can't stop us. We climbed the highest peak in the world; we really hold up half the sky."

Personal life
Phanthog was married to Deng Jiashan, the political commissar of the Chinese national mountaineering team and later a middle school headmaster in Wuxi. Her husband accompanied her on the 1975 Everest expedition, although he did not reach the summit. The couple had three children.

SAUDI ARABIA - Energy & Mining
Source Of Pride
CEO, Ma'aden
Khalid Al Mudaifer has been in his current position at Ma'aden since 2011, and has led the company through the most significant phase of growth in its history.

What stage is the mineral sector at now, considering Saudi Arabia is the most mineral-rich country in the region?
Mining goes back to 1935 in Saudi Arabia, although it had a very low profile until as late as 2007. It was mainly focused on gold, with a total investment of around $400 million and no more than 1,000 direct jobs. After 2007, things changed; the government decided to build up the mining industry to diversify the economy, create more jobs, and develop remote areas. New infrastructure was built to complement this desire for expansion, resulting in the construction of industrial railways and a mining city with a deep port at Ras Al Khair. Ma'aden has attracted leading global mining companies to partner with us and we now have a real mining industry in which we have invested around $17 billion since 2007, but we plan on investing up to $35 billion over the next 20 years. We have four major projects we are working on right now. One is a $1 billion project that involves the development of four medium-sized gold mines using treated wastewater from Turaif. The second is the Ma'aden Phosphate Company with investments worth over $5.5 billion. The third is a fully integrated aluminum project with Alcoa worth about $10.8 billion and the fourth is the $7.5 billion Waad Al Shammal phosphate project, which involves the development of a new mining industrial city in the remote north of the Kingdom. Underneath all of these efforts, Ma'aden's mission is to build mining as the third pillar of Saudi industry, beyond oil and petrochemicals. To do this we are encouraging the growth of mining skills and the mining service and supply sector, but we're also developing the capacity of Ma'aden itself in order to achieve our vision of becoming a world-class minerals enterprise.
How does the development of infrastructure help the mining industry?
It is only with focused investment in infrastructure that the Saudi mining industry has been able to boom since 2007. The Kingdom's mining sector is being supported by mega domestic infrastructure that includes a 1,500 kilometer railway, which now makes the exploration and production of phosphate and bauxite deposits in the north of the Kingdom viable. We are now able to move volumes of minerals from northern Saudi Arabia to Ras Al Khair, which is home to our integrated aluminum plant and the Ma'aden Phosphate Company-integrated fertilizer facility. It also hosts a deep-water port, another example of must-have infrastructure to sustain mining industry growth and prosperity in the Kingdom.
Do you plan to invest in continued exploration in Saudi Arabia?
Exploration is the basis of any mining company. We are the main explorers in Saudi Arabia, which is largely underexplored compared to other countries where mining is an active sector. We have an aggressive exploration scheme, and an exploration division with over 100 geologists. We have brought a number of international drillers and explorers to help us as well. Ma'aden has over 50,000 square kilometers of land licenses, which is impressive even by international standards. Our exploration team carries out not only regional greenfield exploration programs, but also near-mine brownfield exploration and resource evaluation for several commodities in phosphate, metallurgical bauxite, gold, copper, and magnesite.
What role do joint ventures play in your strategy for growth?
The fastest way to learn is through joint ventures. It is a proven model to build Saudi Arabia's mining capabilities, and has also been a proven model in the oil industry. Joint ventures have helped Ma'aden achieve the level of capability it has today. In our first project, the challenge was marketing. We looked to work with the best in the world, and SABIC has an excellent marketing scheme so it was our first partner. For our second partnership, the challenge was technology and know-how in manufacturing in the aluminum business, so Alcoa was our partner there. The third significant partnership was for the Waad Al Shammal project, which required experience in phosphate ore and phosphate processing, as well as marketing so we brought two partners into this. One was Mosaic, the largest phosphate producer in the world and based in the US. But we also brought in SABIC again to support us with its global marketing network.
