Making The Connection

Some of this district’s law enforcement officers and ways of caring for indigent persons are recalled to view in this installment of a series of records of former local social conditions, which concludes with a brief glimpse of work and leisure in Carleton Place’s distant past.

Law Enforcement

The constables who assisted the sheriffs of the judicial district of Bathurst and of the later counties of Lanark and Renfrew in maintaining the law were once part time officers. Sheriff of the two united counties from 1852 to 1866 and of Lanark County from 1866 to 1903 was James Thompson. His predecessor for ten years had been Andrew Dickson of Pakenham. Sheriff Thompson, first editor and one-time owner of the Perth Courier and county sheriff for over fifty years,lived until 1912 and the age of 100.

Local magistrates of the district at the middle period of Andrew Dickson’s regime numbered forty-three, three at present Renfrew county points and forty in the Lanark area. Beckwith township’s magistrates in 1846 were Robert Bell, James Conboy, Robert Davis, Peter McGregor, Colin McLaren and James Rosamond. Prominent names of magistrates in other townships then included John G. Malloch, Alex McMillan, Roderick Matheson, John Haggart and John Bell, all of Perth; John Balderson of Drummond, John Hall of Lanark, James Shaw of Elmsley, John Lorne McDougall of Horton and Alex. McDonell of McNab. Magistrates of Ramsay township at the same time were Wm. Houston, Wm. Rae, Wm. Wallace, James Wylie and W. G. Wylie.

Part Time Constables

Constables appointed for Lanark and Renfrew counties


for the depression year of 1858 at the spring General Quarter Sessions of the Peace numbered one hundred and thirty-two. There were twenty-one for Drummond township including Perth, nineteen for Beckwith including

Carleton Place, nine for Montague including Smiths Falls, and numbers from two to nine for twenty-four other townships. Including some long-lived citizens and sons of district pioneers, the constables appointed for Beckwith township an even one hundred years ago were –

Joseph Bond and Alvin Livingston were among the longer-term constables of Carleton Place’s village days. Alvin Livingston became local full-time constable when appointed in 1885 at a salary of $350 a year as “Chief Constable, Street Commissioner, Collector of Young Man’s Statute Labor Tax and Sanitary Inspector.” He had served in an earlier seven year period asIncluding an additional six confined as mentally ill, the jails inmates were eleven men and sixteen women. The united counties jail of 1862, then about to be vacated in favour of a new structure, was a small two storey bastille with stone walls of a thickness of almost three feet. A barricade of brick, elm and oak composed the second storey floor.

A generation later a similar number of Lanark county occupants of the jail at Perth, mostly “tramps sent in from Smiths Falls and Carleton Place”, included such prisoners as a man charged with stealing a horse and buggy, and “a boy twelve years old, a boot-black and a very cunning youngster, awaiting trial for stealing a gold watch and fourteen dollars.” (July 1898).

Indigents in Jail

Care of Lanark


Kellock who has filled the office of jailer for the last thirty years has resigned.”

The Lanark County House of Refuge was opened formally in 1903 when public figures of the county invited to speak at the ceremony, including Lanark’s members of Parliament, Hon. J. G. Haggart of Perth and Bennett Rosamond of Almonte, provincial members W. C. Caldwell of Lanark and Lt. Col. A. J. Matheson of Perth, Senator F. T. Frost of Smiths Falls and former provincial member Dr. R. F. Preston of Carleton Place. The disappearing old order is seen in a Carleton Place editorial comment on the death of two residents of the county, one of Beckwith and the other of Drummond, in 1901 in the county jail. Like others before them, they had beenhas become a pretty heavy tax on the benevolent part of the community to be obliged to support those who are unable to support themselves. We would therefore suggest the idea that the Provincial Legislature enact that a sum equal to that raised for the Lunatic Asylum should in like manner be raised for the erection and support of three hospitals, to be situated at the most convenient points in the province.”

Sixty years later the building of a hospital at Carleton Place was proposed and discussed at a Town Hall public meeting held in 1910. William Thoburn outlined the origin and growth of the Rosamond Memorial Hospital at Almonte. Dr. Bruce Smith of Toronto, Inspector of Hospitals, attended and estimated the 1910 cost of a suitable building and


intervals of moderate prosperity and recurrent times of industrial and trade unemployment, widespread bankruptcy and meager existence; with little organized assistance for its physical and social casualties. There was another side to the conditions in which some of these generations gained their livelihood. It is found in a simpler, less hurried and now generally unacceptable way of life. A glimpse of its ending is seen among recollections written some seventy-five years ago by George Lowe, a seventy year old resident of Carleton Place: (July 1884)

“This day twenty years ago I came to Carleton Place, near the close of the Civil War. At that time property was of little value. I took charge of the railway station. The only industries in the place were the grist mill, run bythere has been no more industrious race than ours. From the progress of this place in the last twenty years what shall it be at the end of the next twenty.”

A series of local history notes recalling the first century of community life at Carleton Place is ended with the present recollections of events in this area in the years from 1910 to 1920.

Fifty years ago the town and district began to move out of the old-time horse and buggy days. Its maturity coincided with the years of the First World War, when this district served its country well. Among local municipal developments was the forming of a public utilities system, with the installing of waterworks lines in the town’s rock-ribbed streets and the transfer to public ownership


of electric generating and distributing facilities. Total industrial employment in the town continued with little change.

Seven Automobiles

1910 – The greatest Carleton Place fire of living memory destroyed about twenty-five buildings between Bridge Street and Judson Street, including Zion Presbyterian Church, the Masonic Hall, the militia drill hall, the curling rink and many homes.

Following the death of James Gillies, the Bates and Innes Company bought the Gillies Machine Works building and converted it into a felt mill. The Hawthorne woollen mill was reopened by its new owner, the Carleton Knitting Co., Ltd.

There were seven automobiles owned in Carleton Place, including a Buick, a Packard, a Reo, Fords and a Russell-Knight.

Hospital building proposals were discussed at a town meeting and abandoned. The cost of erecting and equipping a suitable hospitalwas estimated by a provincial official at $1,000 a bed, and maintenance costs at under $5,000 a year.

The Starland Theatre here was showing moving pictures of the Buffalo Bill and Pawnee Film Company.

The first Boy Scout troop was formed by William Moore.

George V became king when death ended the ten-year reign of Edward VII.

New Power Plant

1911 – Electric power was supplied to the town from the new 125,000 north shore hydro electric plant of H. Brown and Sons. The firm’s old south shore generating units were maintained as a supplementary source of power.

Reconstruction of buildings destroyed by fire included Zion Church, the Masonic Building and a number of residences.

David Smythe, of Ferguson and Smythe, harness makers, was elected for the first of seven yearly terms as mayor of


Carleton Place.

Waterworks Construction

1912 – Findlay Brothers Company commenced a fifty per cent enlargement of its stove plant.

A public vote endorsed a waterworks installation bylaw. Twenty-five thousand feet of steel pipe was ordered from Scotland. The excavation contractor from Kingston began work with thirty Bulgarians, who were quartered in the old Caldwell sawmill boarding house in the town park, a dozen Italians accommodated in the Leach school house building, and a dozen Roumanians in addition to local excavation workers.

A town landmark adjoining the home of A. R. G. Peden on Allan Street was removed when the ruins of the large log house of Edmond Morphy, a first settler at Carleton Place, were torn down. It was said to have been built about 1820.

The first rural mail delivery route fromCarleton Place was started in Beckwith Township, to be followed by opening of a second mail route on the north side of the town in Ramsay township.

Town Clock

1913 – A town clock was installed on the Post Office. James A. Dack, jeweler, was given charge of its care, and J. Howard Dack first started its 150 pound pendulum in motion.

Dr. A. E. Hanna of Perth was elected in a South Lanark by-election occasioned by the death of the Hon. John G. Haggart, member for the constituency in the House of Commons for a record continuous period dating from 1872. North and South Lanark in the following year were combined for future Dominion election purposes.

A steel bridge replaced the wooden bridge across the Mississippi River at Innisville.

High school principal


E. J. Wethey and nine high and public school pupils attended a cadet camp of over twelve hundred boys at Barriefield. Plans were made to form a Carleton Place High School cadet corps.

First Contingent

1914 – The year which saw the start of world-changing events began locally with a mid-January record low temperature of 32 below zero.

The ninth annual spring show of the Carleton Place Horse Association was opened by the Hon. Arthur Meighen (1874-1960), Solicitor General of Canada, who said his grandfather was among the early settlers of Lanark County.

For transportation by gasoline motor power, there were twenty-five automobiles in the town and fifty motor boats on the lake when summer opened. Ford touring cars were selling for $650 f.o.b. Ford, Ontario. A resident was awarded damages forinjury to a horse frightened by an unattended and unlighted automobile parked on High Street.

F. A. J. Davis (1875-1953), editor and publisher of this newspaper for nearly forty years, bought the Carleton Place Central Canadian. He changed the name in 1927 to The Canadian.

The Great War began in August. Within two weeks the town’s first dozen volunteers under Captain William H. Hooper, joined by volunteers from the Pembroke, Renfrew, Arnprior and Almonte areas, left Carleton Place. Their parade to the railway station was attended by town officials, the Carleton Place brass band, the Renfrew pipe band and hundreds of citizens. The send off ended in the singing of Auld Lang Syne.

Another pioneer home dating from about 1820 was removed when the original farmhouse of John Morphy, son of


Edmond, was torn down. It was the birthplace of the first child born to settlers at Carleton Place (Mrs. Richard Dulmage, 1821-1899). In later years the old building had accommodated the night watchman of the Gillies Woollen Mills.

War Service

1915 – The municipal waterworks system, completed in the previous year, went into operation. Electric lights were installed in the town’s schools. The Hawthorne Woollen Mill, bought by Charles W. Bates and Richard Thomson, was re-opened and re-equipped to meet war demands.

War news and war service work dominated the local scene. There were many district recruits joining the armed forces, reports of heavy casualties, the furnishing of a motor ambulance and the making of Red Cross Society supplies, industrial work on government orders, increase in price levels and some foodrestrictions.

The Mississippi Golf Club was formed and acquired the old Patterson farm and stone farmhouse on the Appleton road.

The Goodwood Rural Telephone Company was organized. It let contracts for installing forty-four miles of lines in Beckwith and in the west part of Goulbourn township.

Recruits and Casualties

1916 – A local option vote closed the public bars of Carleton Place.

Patriotic Fund campaign objectives were oversubscribed. The 130th Battalion, formed from the district, went into training. Recruiting began for the Lanark and Renfrew 240th Battalion. Some 125 men of the 240th visited Carleton Place on a training and recruiting tour, accompanied by a bugle and drum band and a thirty-piece brass band. They were entertained by two nights of concerts and dances in the Town Hall. Some wounded soldiers came home


on leave.

The McDonald and Brown woollen mill, previously leased, was bought by the Bates and Innes company from H. Brown and Sons, and its machines were removed to other local mills.

Road shows performing in Carleton Place included two circuses, one of which disbanded here ; September Morn (a “dancing festival from the Lasalle Opera House, Chicago”) and D. W. Griffith’s great motion picture, The Birth of a Nation, which was travelling with an orchestra of thirty musicians.

Fire destroyed the Houses of Parliament of Canada, in a blaze visible from high observation points of this town.

The War Continues

1917 – The Lanark and Renfrew 240th Battalion under Lieut. Colonel J. R. Watt left for overseas service. Heavy war casualties continued. Memorial services were held for men killed in action.

The Hawthorne“Sister Susie’s Sewing Shirts for Soldiers.”

The Armistice

Another year of war ended in November. Armistice celebrations commenced in Carleton Place at 4 a.m. when the news was announced by the sounding of church and fire alarm bells and factory bells and whistles. Cheering, shouting and singing groups gathered in the streets. A great bonfire soon was prepared and burning in the market square on Franklin Street. In a long and noisy morning procession there were decorated automobiles, buggies, wagons, pony carts, drays and floats, one of them with a war canoe full of young club paddlers in action. The Town Council and Board of Education paraded with the firemen and their equipment and with cheering marchers on foot. Groups of young people had their own banners, flags, horns and


other noise makers. Celebrations continued until midnight.

Major W. H. Hooper, home after four years’ service including two years as a prisoner in Germany, was welcomed in a reception held outdoors. Indoor meetings had been banned by reason of deaths from a world influenza epidemic.

The Hawthorne woollen mill, with two hundred employees, was enlarged. Fire destroyed the Thorburn woollen mills in Almonte.

End of an Era

1919 – Members of the armed forces returned to Canada. Over fifty from Carleton Place had lost their lives, together with similar numbers from all sections of the surrounding district. A military funeral was held here for the burial of a young officer who had died overseas.

Roy W. Bates was re-elected for the second of three yearly terms as mayor. The town’s electric power supplyfacilities were converted to public ownership under the Ontario Hydro Electric Power Commission system.

Three persons were killed when an automobile collided with a train at the William Street railway crossing. Another local fatality was caused by a fallen live wire of a municipal distribution line.

In a baseball game at Riverside Park between junior teams of Carleton Place and of the Smiths Falls C.P.R. club, local players included Mac Williams, Bill Burnie, Howard Dack, Jim Williamson, George Findlay, Tommy Graham, Gordon Bond and Clyde Emerson. The umpire was Bill Emerson. The score was 15 to 14 for Smiths Falls.

In the Town Hall Captain M. W. Plunkett presented the Dumbells in an original overseas revue, “Biff, Bing, Bang,” with an all-male cast of returned soldiers at the outset of their


was held in 1920. The Centenary Celebration and Old Home Week of Carleton Place in 1924 was opened by the ringing of church bells and the sounding of the whistles or bells of the railway shops, of Findlay Brothers foundry and of the Bates & Innes and Hawthorne woollen mills. The week’s programme was the result of months of planning and preparation for the return of the town’s young and old boys and girls from distant and nearby points.

Parades, shows, bands, fireworks, dancing, midway attractions, banquets, concerts, church and cemetery services, an array of athletic events and open house accommodation for renewing old acquaintances were all combined to fill the seven day programme. The chief sports events were a number of baseball games, a football game, track andfield sports, a cricket match, horse racing, an aquatic carnival, trap shooting, a boxing tournament and old timers’ quoit matches. An historical exhibition of district relics, curios and heirlooms was shown. The native son chosen to be chief guest of honour was D. C. Coleman (1879-1956), vice president and later president of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company.

These civic honours opened our area’s second century of settlement by paying tribute to those of the past who had paved its way. The district’s centenary celebrations may be claimed to have reflected on a small scale something of the enduring viewpoint once recorded by a great English historian in the following thought: – “A people which takes no pride in the noble achievements of remote ancestors will never achieve anything worthy

Safety Derrick Martin also needed surgery to rectify the ankle injury he had last season. He will also miss off-season practices, which start Monday.

Packers guard T.J. Lang had surgery on his left wrist April 5 and will miss off-season practices, a source confirmed today. No timetable has been set for Lang's return to the field, the source said.

Lang is expected to be ready by the start of training camp in late July, but the nature of the injury could lengthen the timetable.
Lang, 22, fractured the scaphoid bone in his wrist during practice in December. The injury didn't improve during the offseason, so surgery was the next step. According to online medical journals, blood supply to the scaphoid bone can often be tricky and is essential for recovery. But


On Sunday night US national security advisor John Bolton threatened Iran with "unrelenting force" while announcing the deployment of the USS Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group and a bomber task force to the Persian Gulf region, saying further it sends a "clear and unmistakable" message to the Iranian regime.

Bolton's statement also cited a "number of troubling and escalatory indications and warnings" from Iran, which later on Monday morning CNN Pentagon correspondent Barbara Starr described based on unnamed US defense officials as including “specific and credible” Iranian threats against US assets in Syria, Iraq, and at sea.

CNN's Starr reported the following:

US officials tell me the threats from Iran included “specific and credible” intelligence that Iranian forces and proxies were targeting US forcesin Syria, Iraq and at sea. There were multiple threads of intelligence about multiple locations, the officials said.

It turns out, perhaps predictably, that the ultimate source of these claims is none other than Israeli intelligence.

Axios White House correspondent Barak Ravid reports:

Israel passed information on an alleged Iranian plot to attack U.S. interests in the Gulf to the U.S. before national security adviser John Bolton threatened Iran with "unrelenting force" last night, senior Israeli officials told me.

This also comes as some high level Israeli defense officials have claimed Iran ordered the Palestinian Islamic Jihad to initiate a conflict in Gaza in order to distract Israel from stopping supposed Iranian expansion inside Syria.

Thus it appears an entire US carrier strike group is now responding to what the White House believes


material are used as the bypass capacitors, according to the power supply capacity, the switching frequency, the circuit parameters smoothing coils used therewith, etc.
In recent years, in laminated ceramic capacitors, as a result of developments in thin-film forming technology and lamination technology of dielectrics and internal conductors, the capacitance of laminated ceramic capacitors and the capacitance of electrolytic capacitors have become approximately the same, and experiments have been carried out to replace electrolytic capacitors with laminated ceramic capacitors. However, when replacing electrolytic capacitors with laminated ceramic capacitors, since the impedance in the frequency range used with laminated ceramic capacitors is too small, disturbances occur in the output power waveform of the power supply circuits. This is due to step-shaped changes in the input voltage of, for example, aimpedance becomes large is known as the anti-resonant point. The combined impedance at this anti-resonant point becomes larger as the equivalent series resistance (ESR) of the capacitor becomes smaller.
As described above, because the capacitance of laminated ceramic capacitors has increased in recent years, coupled with the fact that the equivalent series inductance (ESL) is smaller, laminated ceramic capacitors are being used to replace electrolytic capacitors such as tantalum capacitors. However, since the equivalent series resistance (ESR) in large-capacitance laminated ceramic capacitors is small, the impedance at the anti-resonant point is increased.

Rubio spokesman Alex Conant took to CNN on Monday shortly after the story's initial publication, asking Wolf Blitzer "to stop reading that sort of fiction on air."

"That is fiction and CNN should stop reporting it," Conant told Blitzer.

Later Monday night, Conant fired off a fundraising email that said the CNN reporter had never spoken to the campaign.

"She has terrible sources on the campaign — I was the only senior staffer who even knew who she was when she went on air," Conant wrote.

CNN told POLITICO the organization stands by the reporting “100 percent.”

This is not the first time the Cruz campaign has been accused of spreading false information to get votes. In Iowa. Cruz allies told caucus-goers


that retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson was dropping out of the race and to rally behind the Texas senator instead after misinterpreting a CNN reporter's tweets. Cruz later apologized to Carson over it.

Cruz went on to win Iowa but the incident has dogged his campaign ever since. Donald Trump has taken to calling him "lyin' Ted.

But the Cruz campaign said that it was not connected to the Hawaii messages, pointing to volunteers.

"The at-issue email and social media posting was not sanctioned by the Cruz for President campaign. The campaign became aware of the email this morning by press accounts and upon investigation learned that some volunteers in Hawaii were involved in the posting," Cruz spokeswoman Alice Stewart said in a statement.

Bernstein/Getty Images Blumenthal cites 'gaps' in Trump Jr. testimony The Democratic Senator expects the president's son to return for a public hearing on his controversial 2016 meeting with a Kremlin-linked Russian lawyer.

Sen. Richard Blumenthal said Thursday there are “gaps” in Donald Trump Jr.’s closed-door testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee and that he expects President Donald Trump's son to return for a public hearing before the panel.

Trump Jr. testified behind closed doors on Thursday for more than five hours about a meeting he brokered last year at Trump Tower with a Russian lawyer with reported ties to the Kremlin.

President Donald Trump’s eldest son told the Judiciary


panel that he accepted the meeting — which was billed as a chance to get dirt on Hillary Clinton — because he wanted to learn about Clinton’s “fitness” for the presidency, according to his opening statement, which was obtained by The New York Times. He said in his opening statement that nothing ever came of the meeting, but that he would have sought legal counsel before using any damaging information provided by the Kremlin-linked lawyer, Natalia Veselnitskaya.

Trump Jr.’s interview was conducted by Judiciary Committee staffers, with senators popping in and out to listen to portions of the session. Blumenthal appeared to be the only member of the committee who was present throughout the entire interview, taking just a few short breaks for votes. The Connecticut Democrat described TrumpRussian pop singer whose father is a Russian oligarch with whom Trump discussed a Moscow real estate deal. Trump Jr. initially said the meeting was not campaign-related, and later that it focused on U.S. adoptions of Russian orphans.

The Buddies in Bad Times Theatre will host the event (Picture: Google)

Toronto will host its first ever accessible orgy for the disabled in what has been called the ‘coming down of the Berlin Wall of sex for people with disabilities’.

Stella Palikarova, who uses a wheelchair because she has spinal muscular dystrophy, says she is one of thousands of people tired of being assumed to have something wrong with their libido because of their disability.

So the 35-year-old, who works as a disability awareness consultant, has come up with an idea. An idea which, she believes, will bring down the ‘Berlin Wall of sex for people with disabilities.’

An orgy.

Ms. Palikarova has teamed up with the Buddies in Bad Times Theatre, a venue which has space for 125 – including aroundSwiss franc to a 9-year high, the New Zealand dollar to an 8-year high, and the Russian ruble to a 4-year high.

determined by factors such as the materials, dimensions, and operating conditions of the acoustic stack. These and other mechanical characteristics of the acoustic resonator determine its frequency response.
In general, an acoustic resonator comprises different lateral regions that may be subject to different types of resonances, or resonance modes. These lateral regions can be characterized, very broadly, as a main membrane region and peripheral regions, where the main membrane region is defined, roughly, by an overlap between the two plate electrodes and the piezoelectric material, and the peripheral regions are defined as areas outside the main membrane region. Two peripheral regions, in particular, are defined as a region located between the edge of the main membrane region and edge of the air-cavity, and a region of an overlap ofat least one plate electrode and the piezoelectric material with the substrate. The main membrane region is subject to electrically excited modes generated by the electric field between the two plate electrodes, and both the main membrane and the peripheral regions are subject to certain derivative modes generated by scattering of energy in the electrically excited modes. The electrically excited modes comprise, for instance, a piston mode formed by longitudinal acoustic waves with boundaries at the edges of the main membrane region. The derivative modes comprise, for instance, lateral modes formed by lateral acoustic waves excited at the edges of the main membrane region and the peripheral regions.
The lateral modes facilitate continuity of appropriate mechanical particle velocities and stresses between the electrically driven main membrane region and the


opinion of the Court.
This case presents a second appeal by Reserve Insurance Company (Reserve), the plaintiff below and appellant in this Court, which had filed an action at law for a declaratory judgment in the Circuit Court for Prince George's County against Reserve's policyholder George Francis Duckett (Duckett), one of the appellees, to determine whether its policy covered an accident occurring on September 7, 1961, at approximately 6:05 p.m. between the motor vehicle operated by Duckett and a vehicle operated by Samuel G. Cornblatt and owned by Celeste Carp Cornblatt. The Cornblatts were also parties defendant individually, and Celeste Carp Cornblatt to her own use and to the use of Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company (Mrs. Cornblatt's insurance carrier) was also a party defendant. The Unsatisfied Claim and Judgmentthere is evidence of insurance. Shortly after that accident Duckett received a letter from Davis in which it was stated that it would insure him. Duckett went to the Davis office in Baltimore and Davis obtained insurance for him through the Leonhart Agency for a Maryland Form SR22 compliance from American Security Insurance Company, effective July 31, 1959. On that day an SR22 form was filed with the Maryland Department of Motor Vehicles certifying that Duckett had obtained the necessary insurance.
Davis acted as an insurance broker and also as an insurance agent for fifteen companies, Reserve not being one of those fifteen companies.
The St. Paul Agency, Inc. (St. Paul), which had offices in Baltimore City, was the insurance agent for Reserve in Maryland duly authorized to write policies


red and white gummed label with the notation "Davis & Davis INSURANCE," with the address and telephone number, was pasted under the word "Agent."
Duckett, who was a farm laborer, living at Croom in Prince George's County, had dealt with Davis for several years. Called as a witness for the plaintiff, Reserve, he testified that the usual way he dealt with Davis in paying premiums was either to carry cash or send money orders. He testified that he considered Davis to be the agent for Reserve because he had paid his money to Davis and Davis had "always issued me the policy." In March, 1961, Davis issued a Reserve combination automobile policy with policy limits of $10,000 for each person and $20,000 for each accident for bodily injury liabilitySelf-addressed envelopes were enclosed in these letters for the use of the insured in making payment of the renewal premium. Duckett was uncertain in regard to the exact time he mailed the money order for the premium, prior to the expiration date of the Reserve policy, stating "I would say four or five days." He also testified that theretofore the policy would be sent to him by Davis the day or day after he had sent the money for it, the longest period of time being "not more than three days."
Duckett had an accident, as we have indicated, on September 7, 1961, at approximately 6:05 p.m. He went to the Davis office in Baltimore City the following day, September 8, to report the *113 accident. He spoke to


a Mrs. McAllister, the underwriter for Davis, and explained the happening of the accident to her. She told Duckett that "she would file it with Reserve Insurance." He inquired of Mrs. McAllister as to whether he was covered at the time of the accident and she told him that he was covered.
Meyer Davis, one of the partners of Davis & Davis, called as a witness for the plaintiff, Reserve, testified in regard to sending the 30 day and 15 day letters already referred to, but stated that he did not retain copies of those letters. He stated that they were "form" letters, but no copy of the "form" or other evidence showing the precise language of those letters was introduced into evidence. He testified that for this classof business he operated on a cash basis and that Duckett was a "good payer," and was "all right." On September 8, 1961, a policy in the same form as the March 7, 1961, policy and marked as a "Renewal" of the March 7, 1961, policy (the March 7 policy was marked "New") was issued. The figures "12:01" were stricken out and the figures "10:00" were inserted on the typewriter. The renewal policy was also a six month policy ending March 8, 1962. The date of issuance was also given as September 8, 1961. Mr. Davis could not recall any instance in which a renewal policy did not take effect immediately upon the expiration time of the expiring policy and stated that a renewal policy "should" do this.


He stated that one-half of the Davis business was of sub-standard production and that the Reserve business was about onehalf of his volume in that area. Davis had written a total of 1011 Reserve policies in the period 1960 to 1962. Mr. Davis admitted that it took time to issue policies and that apparently it had taken the Davis staff two days to issue the new Reserve policy to Duckett as it was effective on March 7 but was issued on March 9, 1961. In that case, the Davis records indicated that Duckett had paid the premium on March 3, 1961. The envelope in which Duckett sent the money order for the renewal premium was not kept.
Although he did not open the mail, Mr. Davis testified that thepolicy was issued on "September 8th, the day we received the money."
Kenneth Francis Cook, vice-president of Reserve in charge *114 of sales, testified that St. Paul was the agent of Reserve and that Reserve supplied policies to the St. Paul Agency which had authority to bind Reserve, issue policies and issue SR22 financial responsibility certificates. There was no written agreement between Reserve and St. Paul and the agency was terminated by Reserve on March 13, 1962. He testified that Reserve "didn't care how many branch offices or places of business they [St. Paul] had;" it would be perfectly possible that St. Paul could have an office in every section of Baltimore and that the St. Paul Agency was terminated because of "adverse loss rates and credit problems." He


stated that as long as Reserve was getting premiums in the Baltimore area, Reserve was not paying any attention to whose name appeared on the policy, although a copy of the policy was returned to the home office. He further stated that he presumed that Reserve knew that the name of "Davis & Davis" was listed as an agent on the Reserve policies within a few days after the copy of the policy was returned to the home office.
In the accident report sent to the Department of Motor Vehicles Duckett stated, on the detachable form which is a part of the accident report, that Reserve insured him on September 7, 1961. This form was sent to Reserve by the Department on September 8, 1961. It was not returnedto the Department by Reserve until August 9, 1962. After this disclaimer, returned approximately eleven months after the notice was sent to Reserve by the Department, a suspension notice was sent by the Department to Duckett on August 21, 1962, advising him that an order of suspension of license would be imposed upon him on September 5, 1962, unless he "posted a certified check, money order, et cetera, in the amount of $23.50." A form SR21 was thereafter filed on behalf of Reserve alleging coverage for Duckett which was received on August 30, 1962. Thereafter, by a letter dated September 28, 1962, Free State Adjusters (who had been employed by Reserve to investigate the Duckett accident and the accident was investigated by them) stated that the SR21 form


Motor Vehicle Law and that suspension is to take place 90 days after the accident unless the motorist involved in the accident is insured.
The trial court found that there was an actual agency between Reserve and Davis; that in any event, there was an agency by estoppel, and that since Duckett had mailed his renewal premium payment money order to Davis prior to the expiration of the original policy and was told by a Davis representative that he was covered for the accident of September 7, 1961, Reserve was liable and must defend Duckett in the accident of September 7, 1961, and pay any judgment within the policy limits.
We are of the opinion that the evidence supports the trial court's conclusion that there was an agency by estoppel.the present case there were "other circumstances," i.e., the fact that Mrs. McAllister, the underwriter of Davis, after an examination of the Davis records, indicated on September 8, 1961, apparently after receipt by Davis of the renewal premium money order,[5] that Duckett was insured, thereby strongly indicating that whatever Duckett was required to do in regard to the time of the mailing of the renewal premium, had been done by him. Then too, Duckett's uncontradicted evidence was that his recollection was that he had mailed the money order for the renewal premium in the self-addressed envelope to Davis "four or five days" prior to September 7, 1961. He further testified that theretofore the policies would be returned to him sometimes "the next day or the day after" and


that the longest time was "not more than three days." This testimony, uncontradicted and given by a witness called to testify for the plaintiff, Reserve, establishes that the ordinary course of post was less than three days as the policies were returned to him in Prince George's County from Baltimore City after mailing the premium payment from Prince George's County, so that it is obvious that the course of mail for a one way delivery was less than three days and, of course, was less than four or five days. The facts indicate, therefore, that Duckett had mailed the money order in time to have it received by Davis in due course of the post prior to the expiration of the original policy and that this fact, ifnear his hometown, and his listening room with horn speakers built into a wall).

Biography

Childhood
Juan Hipólito del Sagrado Corazón de Jesús Yrigoyen was born on July 12, 1852, a few months after the Battle of Caseros. He was baptized four years later, on October 19, 1856 in the church of Nuestra Señora de Piedad. His father, Martín Yrigoyen Dodagaray, was a Basque-French immigrant who in 1847 married Marcelina Alen Ponce, daughter of Leandro Antonio Alen (who was also the father of Leandro N. Alem), a member of the Mazorca during the government of Juan Manuel de Rosas who would be shot and hanged in the Plaza de Mayo.

During his youth, Yrigoyen lived in a house in the neighborhood of Balvanera and had four siblings: Roque, Martín, Amalia, and Marcelina. In 1861, at the age


of his workers, some sixty people in all, and they headed towards the Las Flores police station, which they took without resistance. He arrived in Temperley on the morning of August 3 alongside 1,200 men and established their encampment for the revolution, led and organized by Marcelo T. Alvear. The encampment housed as many as 2,800 armed citizens, who arrived in columns to take adjacent towns. On August 4, the head of the rebellion created several battalions to defend the settlement in Temperley, whose forces had grown to 4,500 men, divided into eighteen battalions. Facing this situation, the governor resigned that same day. Two days later, the Committee of the Province was formed, with Yrigoyen presiding over it, and met in Lomas de Zamora with the attendance ofmuch satire in the conservative press. During the first years of his government, Yrigoyen led through decrees, since many of the initiatives he sent to Congress failed due to the conservative majority that still prevailed. Only after the 1918 Legislative Elections did radicalism obtain the majority in the lower chamber.

Despite the congressional minority, Yrigioyen maintained an attitude inclined towards dialogue and negotiation, not only with the traditional conservative parties that controlled the Senate, but also with the new popular parties that had gained prominence from the secret vote: the Socialist Party and the Democratic Progressive Party. He developed radicalism as a "religion of redemption" for the "liberation of Argentina," he was not seen as a politician but as an "apostle," and he believed that the Radical Civic Union

Last year Historic England processed 17,055 consultations from local planning authorities. And Listed Building Consent (LBC) applications are an increasing proportion of all such applications: in 2015-16 they accounted for 7.1 per cent of all planning permissions, up from just 5.7 per cent in 2007-08.

Meanwhile the number of relevant council staff continues to drop. In 2016, there were 796 jobs in historic environment departments in local authorities across the country. That number has decreased by 5.8 per cent since 2015, and by 35 per cent since 2006.

The statutory remit of Historic England is to advise on applications which affect scheduled monuments, or Grade I and Grade II* listed structures. But it also advises on the lower-ranked Grade II listed structures in London, or on proposals to demolish anyWe _are_ friends--but it’s a new experience, quite, to me. As

“Oh no; whatever you say is good, I take with my eyes shut.”

“I came up quietly this time,” said the Earl. “You made such a row about
my being noisy last night, I thought to myself, ‘Now, anything to please

David scowled angry impatience at him. “Who the deuce cares what _you_

“Ah,” said Drumpipes, placidly pushing his way past Mosscrop through

Most people are not yet seeing the Trump tax cuts in their paychecks, or at least they're not noticing them, according to a poll released Tuesday.

Just 32 percent of respondents said they have higher take-home pay because of the tax cuts, according to a CNBC poll of 800 people. In contrast, about half of the people said they haven't seen an increase in their paychecks.

The poll is a warning sign for Republicans who are betting that the tax cuts will yield immediate benefits for families and aid them in the 2018 midterms.

Gorham said the vision of the former Housing Task Force was for the city to create an ongoing committee to help ensure property owners, landlords and tenants knew what regulations the city had. She described the group as almost a public relations wing of the city. She also said that of the recommendations the Housing Task Force gave the council, she felt that establishing an ongoing committee would be one of the easier items to accomplish. She said she is surprised that the city did not do that right away and hopes the group can be formed soon to keep the momentum from the task force going. “Now is the time for action,” Gorham said.

She said that there are groups that work to enhance the downtown area and the task force hoped that such a group could be formed for the rest of the city.

the issue of the inconsistent delivery quality still remains: I received my first alert at 10:54pm on 8/5 and a second identical alert 2:22am on 8/6. I've seen reports of people getting six alerts and others getting their first alert long after I got my second one. People got the alert in San Francisco while other people in California never got the alert at all.

In a telephone call this morning Ms. Edmonds also revisited the issue of the alert messages being intentionally unlinked so as "minimize network impact" which I still think is a crock. According to the San Francisco chronicle:

It is native to Southwestern and Central Asia, but today spinach is cultivated worldwide, mainly in temperate regions. Spinach plants are cultivated for their highly nutritious leaves. The leaves are extremely rich in antioxidants, a good source of vitamins such as A, B6, C, E, K and folate, and minerals such as calcium, iron, magnesium and potassium.
The edible part of the spinach plant is a compact rosette shape of leaves attached to a short stem. The leaves are produced during the first stage of the plant's life cycle, the vegetative rosette stage. The second stage is the flowering stage, or the bolting stage.

Police arrest suspect in shooting that left soldier paralyzed

December 26, 2011 | 5:53
pm

San Bernardino police Monday announced the arrest of a suspect in the recent shooting of a 22-year-old soldier on leave for the holidays.

Police arrested Ruben Ray Jurado in the Dec. 23 shooting of Army veteran Christopher Sullivan, a police spokeswoman said. Sullivan, who had served in Afghanistan, was attending a welcome home party in his honor when he intervened in a dispute between his brother and another man at the party over football.

According to authorities, the other man pulled a gun from his waistband and fired at least three shots, one hitting Sullivan in the neck, another in the buttocks.

Jurado, accompanied by an attorney, turned himself in about 2 p.m. Mondayat a San Bernardino County sheriff's substation in Chino Hills, authorities said.

Sullivan had survived an attack last December, when his unit was hit by a suicide bomber in Kandahar, Afghanistan. Six men were killed in the explosion, but Sullivan survived. The 22-year-old spent much of the last year recovering at Ft. Campbell, Ky., his family said.

His mother, Suzanne Sullivan, told The Times that doctors believe her son will be paralyzed from the neck down.

"I don't have any emotions. My emotions are none," she said. "He didn't deserve it. He's an excellent son and an excellent man."

Like any good crime boss, Afweyne sought to diversify his investments while minimizing his personal risk. Given its popularity among pirates, trade in the leafy drug khat was a natural outgrowth of the flagship enterprise. Cash from Afweyne’s ransom spoils, according to a 2011 UN report, was poured into khat procurement in Kenya. The produce was then flown back to Harardhere in central Somalia and sold up and down the Somali coast, with pirates willing to pay three times the street price. By 2010, Afweyne had handed the reins of piracy operations over to his son Abdiqaadir, enabling him to focusonly one based on money,” he told the Spanish daily newspaper ABC. Afweyne has since denied that his gang was ever involved with the Al Qaeda-affiliated militia, but the relationship was ongoing as of April 2012, according to statements made by his son.

That was also the year that improved security measures started to really cut into Afweyne’s bottom line. While hijacked ships continued to bring in multi-million-dollar ransoms, it was becoming harder and harder to catch them — and a lot more dangerous to try. In 2010, there were 49 successful hijackings off the coast of Somalia. In 2011, there were 28; by 2012, that number had fallen to 14. Not only were more and more ships carrying armed guards, EU and U.S. naval forces had adopted more


vigorous rules of engagement, arresting suspected pirates and destroying their vessels at an increased rate. It was likely with this cost-benefit calculation in mind that Afweyne publicly denounced the piracy business and proclaimed his retirement in January 2013.

His new career, the retiree explained, would focus on rehabilitating former pirates: “I have also been encouraging many of my colleagues to renounce piracy too, and they have done it,” he told reporters earlier this year.

From pirate to diplomat

Afweyne’s quest for redemption reportedly began back in 2010, when he was pardoned by the president of the autonomous Somali state of Himan and Heeb, Mohamed Aden Tiicey. Two years later, his supposed involvement in counter-piracy activities earned him a diplomatic passport from the presidential office of Somalia’s then Transitional FederalGovernment. This official protection allowed the notorious pirate leader to travel unmolested through Malaysia in April 2012. Shortly after, both the Seychelles and Belgium issued an Interpol “red notice” for Afweyne’s arrest.

Likely aware of the international charges against him, the ex-pirate kingpin sought to endear himself to the newly elected Somali Federal Government (SFG), and to negotiate an agreement for a Somalia-wide pirate amnesty and rehabilitation program. In January and February, a series of meetings, brokered by Mohamed Tiicey, were held between top leaders of the Hobyo-Harardhere Piracy Network and senior officials of the SFG.

Around the same time, Afweyne established the Somali Anti-Piracy Agency in Mogadishu. Afweyne and his son also tried to negotiate a deal in which all of the Hobyo-Harardhere network’s remaining hostages would be freed


it was largely the efforts of two small states that brought down the godfather of Somali piracy. In April 2009, both the Belgian-owned Pompei and Seychellois-crewed Indian Ocean Explorer were captured by what appeared to be the same pirate gang and anchored close together off Harardhere.

After the release of the hostages, the two governments began to exchange information. Two years later, naval forces detained six suspected pirates and transferred them to the Seychelles. After the suspects’ fingerprints and photos were sent to Interpol for analysis, a match came back for a print found on the Pompei. The suspect, Keelo Kute, was then extradited to Belgium and, after being identified by one of the vessel’s officers, convicted for the hijacking of the Pompei.

A plan is hatched

Though mounting evidence andpolitical economy on the basis of significant changes in ownership.

The nationalisations of the 1945-51 Labour governments brought the Bank of England, coal, steel, civil aviation, the railways, and all the major utilities (electricity, water, and gas) into public hands. By 1951, Britain had a public sector workforce of four million, eighteen per cent of the total, while a fifth of the economy was in public ownership. For all its shortcomings, this remains today the most radical and far-reaching economic reform programme ever implemented in Britain.

The Conservative governments of Margaret Thatcher and John Major substantially reversed this transformation. Between 1980 and 1996 Britain racked up forty per cent of the total value of all assets privatised across the OECD, a massive transfer of wealth from public to private interests.

In all of these feet the children were younger than ten years of age at the time of surgery. In three feet, avascular necrosis of the talar head was also observed. We conclude that osteotomy of the talar neck in children under the age of ten years can cause avascular necrosis and should be abandoned.

LA PAZ, Bolivia — In a spasm of violence related to last month’s disputed presidential election, protesters kidnapped the mayor of a small town in central Bolivia on Wednesday, forcibly cut her hair, drenched her with red paint, made her sign an improvised resignation letter, then marched her through the streets barefoot, witnesses said.

The protesters had accused the official, Patricia Arce, mayor of Vinto, of orchestrating a pro-government mob that tried on Wednesday to break up an antigovernment blockade, a clash that resulted in the death of an antigovernment protester, officials said.

Ms. Arce is a member of the party led by President Evo Morales, who claims he won a fourth consecutive term in the Oct. 20 election by a sufficient margin to avoid a runoff.

Atalla and Dawon Kahng at Bell Labs in 1959, enabled the practical use of metal–oxide–semiconductor (MOS) transistors as memory cell storage elements, a function previously served by magnetic cores in computer memory. MOS memory was developed by John Schmidt at Fairchild Semiconductor in 1964. In addition to higher performance, MOS memory was cheaper and consumed less power than magnetic-core memory. This led to MOSFETs eventually replacing magnetic cores as the standard storage elements in computer memory.

Ball of the Royal Radar Establishment proposed digital storage systems that use CMOS (complementary MOS) memory cells, in addition to MOSFET power devices for the power supply, switched cross-coupling, switches and delay line storage.

THE Ibrox club could be worth £50m thanks to the flotation - if fans get behind the investment programme.

CHARLES Green has persuaded big city investors to pump £17million into Rangers – in a flotation that could leave his stake in the club worth £3.5million.

And if Rangers fans invest the further £10million which chairman Green hopes for, the club’s value will have soared from the £5.5million Green paid for its assets to £50million in just six months.

Rangers will be floated on the Alternative Investment Market (AIM) as Rangers International Football Club plc in two weeks.

If it goes according to plan, Green’s share of the business will have a paper value of £3.5million.

The figures, contained in a document lodged with the London Stock Exchange yesterday, show a massive projected riseof these trends, China is seeking to meet U.S. efforts to contain it to its east by expanding its diplomatic and political engagement to its west, including to areas like the Persian Gulf that Washington has long considered vital to America’s global position.

To be sure, Beijing continues to rule out the possibility of military confrontation with the United States as in no way a rational prospect. But it also continues to seek a long-term transformation in the character of contemporary international relations, from an international system still shaped in large measure by unipolar American dominance to a more genuinely multipolar international order.

To this end, the “one belt, one road” project could, if handled adroitly, prove a non-military catalyst that accelerates the relative decline of U.S. hegemony over the


of a more truly multipolar international order in the Twenty-first Century.

Moderate Senators Sign Monroe Doctrine Compromise

U.S. to eliminate own military, enemies can only invade under "extraordinary circumstances."

Washington--Noting a string of inordinately rapid successes, the now famous "senate 14" took to the airwaves today, to say they have "now successfully eliminated the polemics inherent in the Monroe Doctrine, with regard to Europe, as well as our enemies."

The Monroe Doctrine essentially states that any attempted colonization of the American regions would be considered an antagonistic undertaking. Noting the Doctrine was aimed primarily towards Europe at the time, senator Lindsay Graham assured the rest of the world that the "invasion option" would be applied liberally, and equally, towards all.

"We feel that this agreement brings the entire


malevolent cadre of nations together," said Graham. "So the tactical waters are just as warm for North Korea and China as they would be for Britain, Spain, and even France."

Graham spelled out the essential root of the agreement:

The United States would be allowed to implement the next three reconnaissance/offensive attacks against the insurgency in Iraq without fear of retribution.

The United States will then completely dismantle it's military, at home and abroad.

The United States would then allow for the wholesale elimination of Israel and the Jewish people.

Under this agreement, axis aggressors would then only launch attacks, invasions, and sieges under "extraordinary circumstances."

Members of the tentative European Union applauded the Senators, for their "vision and hopes for the future of America's enemies."

"This very slim crossection of men has proven thatthe course of human events can be altered for the best, when they break from their Constitutional shackles," said one UN spokeman. "There is nothing left to fear but fear--and extraordinary circumstances."

California senator Barbara Boxer is expected to take to the floor today to filibuster the Unites States' three remaining military options.

Paris--Reeling in the aftermath of his most stinging presidential repudiation, French president, Jacques Chirac told the French people they are "subject to the incessant, and merciless repetition" of Wagner's Lohengrin, Prelude to Act III.

"I am now forced to invoke the putrid winds of the past," said Chirac, stinging from the French people’s outright rejection of the European Constitution. "I swear I'll call up Gerhard Schroeder and just sign this whole sissified country over to Germany, if I


and thing to myself, I would never utilize this for disciplinary cause. Wrong wrong."

President Bush called Chirac early this morning and cautioned Chirac against the "Lohengrin Option."

"If any of that racket seeps over the North Korean peninsula, then you've just about started World War III," said Bush. "I am urging my own Congress to look into alternative sources of music, even here."

Amnesty International Report Compares Guantanamo Bay To The Rest Of Cuba

"It's just like prison and stuff," says report

Amnesty International's report chronicles a list of complaints of "prison-like conditions that bear an uncanny resemblance to the people living outside the compund." The White House retorted that conditions inside are actually provoking break-ins by Cubans.

McCain was speaking through an interpreter schooled in Maverick Lockjowl, a remote dialect stemming from an amalgam of Agent Orange exposure, and having needles forced up one’s cuticles during captivity.

The compromise would thus require a total of 90 senatorial votes to break a filibuster, and acquire what is known as "cloture."

Sen. Robert Bird (W-Va), who signed his name to the initial compromise, said he was "bittersweetly amused" by McCain's incredible accomplishment, noted that he had his own preferences.

"I'm from an area where moderation is the hallmark o’ the southern gentleman,” said Byrd, soul of the Senatehighly public support of a Hillary Rodham Clinton presidential bid, officials are reporting that what purports to be the "actual body" of the former Speaker of the House has been found in Fort Marcy Park.

"We found Mr. Gingrich's body, in a prostrate position, with a single exit wound at the back of the head," said a spokesman for the DC crime unit. "There was also an apparent suicide note, although we are not at liberty to divulge the contents, other than to say, it appears to be an exculpatory note acquitting Kofi Annan of the Oil-For food scandal, Mrs. Clinton of cattle futures wrongdoing as well."

Newt Gingrich was the frontispiece for the 1994 republican takeover of the house and senate, crystallizing republican doctrine through the “Contract With America.”

Boxer also said that the abuses by American forces conferred upon the prisoners far superceded the horrors of the "Baton Rouge Death March" as well as the "Rape of Nat King Cole."

"We have before us, what portends to be an under the radar manifestation--the cold winds of the Third Rick coming back to haunt us in our own forces" she said. "The Bush administration's military policy is nothing more than an echo; a dark, slow moving train to the German gas stations of World War II--particularly the horrors at Hindenburg."

Senators on the other side of the aisle made little comment, other than to say Boxer's stinging words were so masterfully crafted, that little debate could everousted by Pastor Chan Chandler from East Waynesville Baptist Church, the member had originally considered retaining an attorney, but decided a "reformation" would better serve their needs.

North Korean Missile Bullseye Brings Plankton To Negotiating Table

Dead-hit on ocean "a work of the gods," say invertebratesKim Jung Il's tenacious hold on missile technology(left) isresponsible for a maritime armistice signed by Plankton(right),who are said to also be leading Pyongyang officials to roguepockets of Sea Monkeys

Pyongyang--The United Plankton Coalition announced today that they "are willing to deal" with the North Korean government, after the regime launched a test missile into the Sea of Japan.

"Once we saw the awesome power of a Sea-of Japan seeking missile, we realized our jig was up," said one senior Plankton representative. "We know when we've been beat, and we got the message."

Analysts say that North Korea's dead-on hit of the Sea of Japan indicates that the regime is "way ahead" of potential


rivals in the region.

"We expect a wholesale surrender of substantial marine life in the wake of this," said one analyst. "It is clear that Pyongyang now dominates the uncharted, maritime regions with their nuclear prowess."

North Korean scientists, while impregnably secretive, have noted that their breakthroughs in technology, allowing a tactical missile to zero in on a target as small as the 405,000 square mile body of water, have gained them "huge points" with North Korean dictator, Kim Jung Il."The world trembles." North Korean tactical missiletechnology has now allowed for a successful, first-striketest against the hard-to-hit Sea of Japan.

A 45-storey skyscraper in the center of Venezuela's capital Caracas is no five-star hotel or swanky apartment block: it is a slum. REUTERS/Jorge Silva The World Economic Forum (WEF) has ranked the top 10 threats to the global economy and international order in its latest outlook report released Friday. The WEF labels them "trends", however, they are all rather terrifying.

This year, the WEF got Nobel Prize winner and former US vice president Al Gore to explain the list, reprinted below:

French economist Thomas Piketty's 700-page book on inequality seems tohave had an impact, with inequality leaping into first place from second last year.

The WEF reproduced a chart from the World Top Incomes Database, which Piketty has worked on:

the reasonableness of Donaldson’s sentence, which was within the advisory Sentencing

       Critical to the issues on appeal are the factual findings that controlled the

computation of Donaldson’s Guidelines range. Specifically, the probation officer

detailed the offense conduct, which referenced Donaldson’s prior convictions for drug

and firearm offenses. The presentence report further noted that Donaldson illegally

Born in the mid-twentieth century to middle-class parents in Dubai who had an entrepreneurial spirit Hussain Sajwani seemed destined to become a successful businessman. His earliest business education came from watching his parents. Hussain’s father was the proprietor of a watch and pen store, and his mother bought wholesale fabric for resale.

Sajwani remembers listening to stories of things that went right and things that went wrong in the business ventures of his family and took knowledge and inspiration from both outcomes. In an article published at Albayan, mostly he was motivated by the dedicated work ethic of both parents who obviously passed their entrepreneurial spirit to their ambitious son.

Hussain also created ZDICO Invest and Al Jazeira Services Co SAOG, two investment firm. In 2002, Hussain Sajwani added DAMAC Properties to the Group.

Interestingly DAMAC joined forces with pre-presidential Donald Trump in 2013 to develop two golf courses. One, The Trump International Golf Course Dubai opened in February 2017 and the second, the Trump World Golf Course, designed by Tiger Woods, is set to open at the end of 2018.
