APPEAL from the Circuit Court of La Salle County; the Hon. C.
HOWARD WAMPLER, Judge, presiding.
MR. JUSTICE ALLOY DELIVERED THE OPINION OF THE COURT:
Rehearing denied March 25, 1981.
These consolidated actions, involving charged violations of the Illinois Securities Law of 1953 (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1977, ch. 121 1/2, par. 137.1 et seq.), arise out of the formation and sale of securities of the SlaBurCo Development Corporation, an Illinois corporation. Due to the complexity of the case and issues raised on this appeal, it will be useful to set forth the factual background of relevant events, after which the various issues raised on appeal by the parties will be noted and addressed.
Sometime in 1971 or 1972, Dr. Paul Burman, an Ottawa, Illinois, chiropractor, became acquainted with Dr. Conrad Matz, Jr., a Pennsylvania chiropractor. They met at a professional seminar in Pittsburgh, and during conversation Dr. Matz informed Dr. Burman of a profitable business venture in which he owned a substantial interest. The venture discussed was that of growing vegetables hydroponically, which is done in greenhouses and provides year-round production of vegetables. Dr. Matz had such greenhouses established in Florida and Nassau. Dr. Matz discussed the hydroponic system of vegetable growing with Dr. Burman, explaining to him the processes and costs involved in such operations. Later, when Dr. Burman returned to Ottawa, he and two other men decided to form and promote a corporation for the purpose of raising tomatoes and other vegetables year-round, by the hydroponic method. The other men who initially joined Burman in the enterprise were Richard Clemmons and Donald Slater.
Articles of incorporation for the SlaBurCo Development Corporation were filed with the Secretary of State's Office of the State of Illinois on March 14, 1973. The articles filed with the Secretary of State authorized the issuance of 100,000 shares of common stock with no par value, of which 32,000 shares were to be issued at $1 per share, to the promoters, while 68,000 shares were to be issued to outsiders at $10 per share. Shares certificates, dated April 6, 1973, were issued to the following named persons: Dr. Paul Burman (16,000 shares), Richard Clemmons (12,160 shares), Dr. Conrad Matz (2,240 shares), Carolyn Borys Buchanan (125 shares). Donald Slater, an original promoter, for unspecified reasons, had either withdrawn or had been ousted as a promoter by the time of the stock issuance.
According to the findings of the trial court, supported in the record, Dr. Matz' shares were issued to him without his knowledge, at the direction of Dr. Burman. Matz never received the share certificate nor did he receive any notice of the issuance of the shares until after the sales, which form the dispute in these cases, had been made. The certificate relating to Dr. Matz' shares was kept by Dr. Burman at his office in Ottawa, which was also the corporate office for SlaBurCo Corporation. The 125 shares issued to Carolyn Borys Buchanan, Dr. Burman's receptionist-secretary, are dated April 6, 1973. However, the record reveals that the share certificate for her stock was actually issued in March or April of 1974. At that time, the directors of the corporation determined to repay Carolyn Buchanan for secretarial services she had rendered to the corporation from March 1973 to March 1974 by issuance of 125 shares to her, backdated to April 6, 1973.
The record also reveals that despite the $1 per share value set for the shares in the articles of incorporation, no consideration was received by the corporation for the issuance of any of the first 30,525 shares, which were to have been purchased at $1 per share. The only money to come into the corporation at the outset of its existence was that contributed by George Froehlich, a plaintiff-appellant and defendant-cross-appellant in these actions. Froehlich had been solicited by Dr. Burman to invest in the corporation on or about March 26, 1973. At that time, which was shortly after the filing of the articles of incorporation, Froehlich was informed of the original stock plan, with the 32,000 shares to be issued for $1.00 per share and the remaining 68,000 shares at $10.00 per share. Dr. Burman persuaded Mr. Froehlich to invest in the corporation, and Froehlich paid $27,000 to the corporation for 2,750 shares of stock. Froehlich's secretary, Faye Durbin, who had been the contact between him and Burman, was given 500 shares, in consideration of Froehlich's investment. These shares were later assigned to Froehlich. On March 17, 1973, George Froehlich signed a statement agreeing to serve as a director of SlaBurCo Development Corporation.
All of the shares issued by the corporation were signed by Carolyn Borys Buchanan, at the direction of Dr. Burman, for whom she acted as secretary. She, as well as Burman, also applied the seal of the corporation to documents requiring it.
Between March 27, 1973, and August 20, 1973, a number of meetings were held in which corporate business was discussed. Participating in those meetings, which were held either at Dr. Burman's office or at the corporation's principal place of business in Mendota, Illinois, were Dr. Burman, Mr. Clemmons and George Froehlich. While Carolyn Buchanan was present during parts of the meetings held at the office, she did not participate in them and her main duties were confined to getting coffee and running errands. At the meetings held during this time, the general operation of the business was discussed, including matters of hiring and firing at the greenhouse. Also discussed was the financial condition of the corporation. As early as the meetings in July 1973, George Froehlich became concerned about the financial condition of the company. He asked to see a financial statement on the company and he wanted to know what had been done with the moneys that had supposedly been taken in by the corporation as consideration for the issuance of the original shares.
At a meeting around the middle of July 1973, Froehlich was first informed that he was the only shareholder who had actually paid money to the corporation for the purchase of stock. Until that time, Froehlich had believed that the original shareholders had contributed $1 per share for their shares. Upon learning that the others had not contributed their $1 per share as had been represented to him by Dr. Burman, Froehlich became upset. In his testimony at trial he stated that he told them he wanted the money to be contributed. He also stated that he supported further sales of shares in the corporation in order to bring in more capital. At that time, according to his testimony, he still considered the project to be a good one. At one of these meetings it was agreed that new investors should be sought and also that some of the shares held by Froehlich would be repurchased from him by the corporation from the new investment money. Froehlich had purchased an additional $20,000 worth of stock in the latter part of July, when the corporation was in need of additional funds. On August 21, 1973, George Froehlich owned 10,975 shares of stock in SlaBurCo Development Corporation and wanted to get some of his investment returned.
It was also on August 21, 1973, that Frank Vezain, the plaintiff in a subsequent action against Froehlich and the others, purchased his stock. Vezain purchased 1,000 shares of stock for a total consideration of $10,000. Vezain was a patient of Dr. Burman, and had been solicited by Burman to purchase the stock. Vezain received a share certificate covering his 1,000 shares which was signed by Dr. Burman, as president, and by Carolyn Buchanan.
On September 4, 1973, a board of directors meeting was held in the law offices of attorney Louis Olivero in Peru, Illinois. Dr. Burman presided over the meeting and both Carolyn Buchanan and George Froehlich were present. The minutes of that meeting, handwritten by Mrs. Buchanan, indicate that among the topics of discussion was the operation of the greenhouse and the possibility of a stock split. The minutes also indicate that there was again agreement that if any new shareholders invested in the corporation they would buy Froehlich's shares. A shareholders meeting following the board meeting was attended by Burman, Clemmons, Vezain, Froehlich and Buchanan.
In the early part of 1974, various investors purchased shares of stock in the corporation. Plaintiffs Richard and David Hornick bought 200 shares of stock. Plaintiffs Wilbur and Lucille Martin bought 150 shares, and plaintiffs Robert and Irene Washko bought 150 shares. They paid $10 per share for their stock.
In the early part of June 1974, Dr. Paul Burman, the moving force behind the corporation, was killed in an automobile accident. Dr. Conrad Matz, from whom Burman had first heard of the hydroponics operation and who had given technical advice about the growing operation, flew in from Pennsylvania to attend the funeral. It was then that he first met George Froehlich and some of the other shareholders of SlaBurCo. On July 12, 1974, Dr. Matz again came to Ottawa to help Mrs. Burman, Dr. Burman's widow, with the operation of the corporation. On July 20, 1974, a board of directors meeting was held at the law offices of Peter Ferracuti, in Ottawa. Dr. Matz, who was listed as a director in the minutes of that meeting, chaired the meeting and was in charge. Attending the meeting were Mrs. Burman, Ed Simko (newly elected president), Dr. ...

How do You Wire a Switch?
Considered one of one of the most widespread electrical wiring inquiries is on how to wire a switch. When applying switches at home is kind of uncomplicated, wiring just one might not be that easy for everyone. An ON-OFF switch is actually quite simple to wire.

You will discover a few hues of wires in a common single-pole toggle switch: black, white, and green. Splice the black wire in two and connect them around the terminal screws - a single on leading and the other on the bottom screw of your swap. The white wire serves being a supply of uninterrupted ability and it is usually connected to your light-weight colored terminal screw (e.g., silver). Hook up the inexperienced wire to your ground screw of the swap.

Oil prices are sure acting strange, romping higher even as the economic news remains mostly dark. Oil prices are nearing $50 a barrel, a level not seen since the beginning of the year.
One of three things might explain the move in oil prices:
1. OPEC is succeeding in reducing output sufficiently to support prices. Given the remarkable nature of everything else in the world, maybe OPEC is succeeding where it has failed so often before. Seems hard to believe, though. Budgetmeisters in Iran and Venezuela, among other places, need lots of income from the sticky stuff to make ends meet. Lower prices mean they need to sell more oil than before. Of course, maybe the Saudis are turning off the spigot since higher prices would help Iraq’s budget and economic challenges, and that’s a serious neighborhood issue. So, maybe the OPEC cuts are more than talk.
2. A weaker dollar can help dollar-based commodity prices, such as oil, rise. While the dollar has enjoyed some support as a reputed haven in times of global crisis, it has traded in a more mixed fashion lately. Could oil prices signal fear of a lower dollar as budget deficits soar? Maybe, but another dollar-sensitive commodity, gold, has been trending lower.
3. The global economy is surreptitiously starting to bottom out and may even be putting in the seeds of a rebound, which would spell more demand for oil. Surreptitious would be the right word for this since the data are still pretty horrid in the U.S. and elsewhere.
None of these choices seem particularly obvious. Number three would be most bullish for stock markets and the global economy, at least in the near term. Number one would just represent successful cartel operations and number two would be a harbinger of more difficulty ahead.
If other commodities start to edge higher and the dollar remains okay, then the case for option three will grow. But right now a lot of these commodity prices are bouncing around very low levels, so discerning a strong signal remains challenging.


The government has delivered its press conference from Downing Street tonight as Health Secretary Matt Hancock addressed the nation.
Mr Hancock was at the lectern on Monday night for the first of what is likely to be three further press briefings from the government this week.
Last week saw Mr Hancock address the nation on Monday, before Priti Patel, the Home Secretary, delivered a press conference on Wednesday.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson completed the set on Friday evening.
Tonight, Mr Hancock was joined by Jenny Harries, Deputy Chief Medical Officer, and Susan Hopkins of Public Health England.
He moved to address the vaccine rollout and updated figures on how many jabs have been administered as the UK death toll rose by nearly 600.
NHS under 'intense pressure'
Health Secretary Matt Hancock opened today’s Downing Street coronavirus briefing by saying the UK is still seeing 37,258 cases of Covid-19 on average a day over the past week.
The NHS is under “intense pressure,” Hancock adds.
More than 37,000 people are in hospitals including more than 4,000 on ventilators.
The number of vaccinations is going up, Mr Hancock said.
“It’s a really emotional moment when people get vaccinated, it means so much to people because this vaccine brings safety to that individual and marks the route out for us all from this pandemic”, he said.
He added that 78.7 percent of all over-80s have been vaccinated as of last night.
Warning not to flout guidance
Mr Hancock said that lockdown and social distancing rules still apply to people who have been vaccinated.
“This is not the moment to ease up”, he said.
New variants more deadly
Amid concerns of increasing support for Scottish independence, Health Secretary Matt Hancock insisted the "UK is stronger together in the fight against" coronavirus.
He told the Downing Street press conference that the Scottish Ambulance Service put out an appeal for extra help over the weekend and other nations "stepped forward".
"Our health systems across the UK routinely work closely together offering support when it's needed and from vaccines to ambulance services we are stronger together. And the UK is stronger together in the fight against this pandemic," Mr Hancock said during a Downing Street press conference.
He said there are "early signs that the actions we are taking are working", with the rise in case numbers slowing and falling in some areas such as London and Scotland.
How tiers will be decided post-lockdown
Mr Hancock has said the government will be ‘driven by science’ as he was quizzed about whether England would return to a tier system after the latest lockdown.
He said the government was looking at how different areas were being affected.
Death rates and hospitalisations must be driven much lower still as ICUS remain stretched, Susan Hopkins of Public Health England said.
Mr Hancock said: “We’re looking at this question right now and we’re looking at the impact that the different tiers had and we’re also looking at where we found the transmissions happened, so that’s a question that will be driven by the science.”
No exact date for lifting lockdown yet, though
Matt Hancock has not given any indiction of a date that lockdown restrictions could be ease.
The Health Secretary said the government would focus on exiting restrictions ‘when it is safe’ to do so.
Downing Street earlier said a review would take place on February 15.
Mr Hancock told today’s briefing giving an exact date was ‘difficult’ as circumstances continued to change.
Donate money or a laptop for kids who need them
With schools closed due to Covid-19, thousands of children in Birmingham are in need of laptops to continue their learning.
They are falling behind in their studies through no fault of their own - because they are unable to access lessons being put on by schools.
BirminghamLive is supporting efforts, through the Digital Education Partnership, to raise funds and laptop donations to support pupils and get them learning again.

Far from herd immunity
Dr Susan Hopkins, Covid-19 strategic response director at Public Health England, said the UK was still "far away" from achieving herd immunity.
She told a Downing Street press conference: "One in 10 people having immunity is far away from where we need to be.
"Herd immunity is a word we use to describe the immunity we get from vaccination.
"The big job here is to roll out the vaccination to those individuals first of all, to those who are high risk of death and hospitalisation and then to the rest of the population.
"Once we have done that, then we will have herd immunity.
"We should not be focusing on getting infection and the consequences of this infection, getting us out of this right now."
Vaccine works against new strains
Public Health England’s Dr Susan Hopkins says the current vaccine works against the UK variant.
She said the research so far on the question is “very, very reassuring.”
She added that scientists monitoring the new strain in the UK haven’t seen any change in immune response or reinfection.
Deputy Chief Medical Officer Jenny Harries says it is quite unlikely ‘in clinical terms’ that a vaccine would not work against a new variant, as mutations are a normal and expected part of the life of a virus.
Warning against travel
Mr Hancock reminds people that it is currently illegal to travel abroad, unless you have a valid reason to do so.
“That’s just part of the stay-at-home regulations”, he said.
Majority taking up jab
Matt Hancock says a small number of people are not taking up their offer of a vaccine.
The health secretary said a ‘very, very, very low’ number of people were declining the jab.
The enthusiasm for the vaccine is increasing, and take up had reached 98 per cent in some areas, he added.

Nearly 96% of our workforce is comprised of Red Cross Volunteers. From helping local home fire victims to helping people across the nation, our Red Cross volunteers are the heartbeat of our organization.
Blanca Gonzalez, Beto & Rita Conde are Red Cross Disaster Action Team (DAT) volunteers. Their hearts interest lies in helping local families affected by home fires get back on the road to recovery. At times, families don’t have a place to go, have lost all their belongings, and may only have the clothes on their backs after a fire. DAT volunteers meet with the victims and provide immediate disaster assistance for food, clothing, temporary lodging and other needs.
DAT volunteer might assist victims at 3pm or at 2am in the morning but sometimes they go the extra mile and want to help people across the nation. For example, the East coast to help Hurricane Sandy victims.
These three volunteers can be seen in the picture above in New Jersey standing next to our own Red Cross Emergency Response Vehicle. It is this hope on wheels that allows them to distribute much needed supplies like warm meals, snacks, beverages, blankets, personal hygiene items, clean up kits and more. Their daily activities include driving the Response Vehicle down streets greatly affected by the storm to deliver these items to disaster victims.
Some would say what they do is heroic and is seen by all; including the local media who acknowledges their commitment and determination to help others. The image above includes Blanca Gonzalez standing next to Ryan Wolf, Senior Reporter and co-anchor for KGBT 4, holding a Red Cross Blanket up to the camera before Blanca left to NJ. One of the many items distributed to disaster victims during the nor'easter that swept down the East Coast following Hurricane Sandy.

Most of us are reluctant to pack sticky sambar rice or dal in a lunch box. We prefer something that is more elegant to eat. Coconut rice falls under that category. The beauty of coconut rice is that it has low moisture content. So, it holds up really well with travel and fresh for a long time. It makes an ideal lunch box dish.
1) Use coconut oil to tadka. It ties well with the whole coconut theme. It also smells wonderful.
2) You HAVE to get the rice grains (or any carb) separate – This makes or breaks the dish . If it is sticky, you will end up with a goopy mess. 2 ways to do this -1) use a day old rice (or any carb), with starch retrogradation – the grains automatically separates. 2) with fresh rice, use extra fat (oil) to spread between the grains and separate it.
1) Quinoa instead of rice
Rice is delicious, but fares poorly when it comes to protein, fiber and its Glycemic index values. See my report on grains here. Qunioa has 15% protein per serving, while rice has less than half the protein compared to quinoa.
2) Walnuts instead of cashews
I am yet to put out a detailed report on nuts (I know, I know …your fervor excitement for my detailed nutrition report is palpable :)). But rest assured, cashews do not score well in terms of health benefits. Use walnuts for omega-3 instead. It may be a small amount , but vegetarians should take any opportunity to consume omega-3 in food form when possible.
3) Anything BUT potato curry as a side dish
What is the point of layering carbs with more carbs, people? Even if you use quinoa to make your coconut rice, each serving still has 71% carbs per serving (rice has about 90% carbs). Coconut adds fat to the dish. The resultant dish has carbs, fats and some protein, but very little fiber. So, make sure you pair your coconut rice with a low carb, high fiber vegetable like brocolli, cabbage, etc.
Total cook time was 9 minutes from start to finish in the morning. But there is prep work involved, which is best done the night before.
1) I cooked quinoa the night before, so that the grains are not sticky and it saves me time in the morning.
2) I got all tadka ingredients in a plate ready the night before. Most of the tadka ingredients are pantry staples. However, I also got the ginger and chillies cleaned and chopped to shave a few minutes in the morning.
3) I used frozen coconut in my recipe. Frozen coconut is a fantastic product to have at hand at all times in your freezer.
Coconut Quinoa Recipe
Ingredients (Makes 4 servings)
for cooking quinoa:
1 cup quinoa
2 cups water
1-1.5 tablespoon coconut oil
1 teaspoon mustard seeds
½ tablespoon urad dal
½ tablespoon chana dal
Handful of chopped walnut pieces
1 or 2 dry red chilies (based on spice level your kids can handle)
1 or 2 green chilies destemmed (based on spice level your kids can handle)
1 pinch asafoetida
1 inch finely chopped ginger
1.5 cup frozen coconut
Curry leaves, chopped coriander (depending on availability, morning frustration levels etc)
1 spoon sugar (a tip from VahreVah chef, optional)
salt as required
The night before prep work:
1. Cook 1 cup quinoa with 2 cups of water in a saucepan – open flame medium for about 15 minutes. Close the lid and let it sit in the steam for about 5 more minutes. Quinoa is ready. Stovetop cooking leads to fluffier and separate grains compared to pressure cooking.
2. Prep all tadka ingredients in a plate. Take about 1.5 cups worth of frozen coconut and place it in the fridge or outside depending on the night time temperatures of where you live.
1. Heat about 1 tbsp coconut oil in a pan.
2. Add 1 tsp mustard seeds and let it splutter
3. Add the chana dal first and saute for about a minute.
4. Add urad dal next
5. Add asafoetida
6. Add 1 or 2 dry red chilies
7. Add chopped walnuts, keep stirring..you know the drill
8. Add chopped green chilies and ginger pieces
9. Once all the flavoring is cooked and ready, add grated coconut and stir for a couple of minutes
10. Add a spoon of sugar (a tip from VahreVah chef, optional)
11. Now add the cooked quinoa and stir well.
Ta-da!! Coconut quinoa ready in 9 minutes
Coconut quinoa would be an easy lunch box recipe on a busy weekday. You can pair it with a curry made with frozen broccoli (7 minutes to steam) and another 5 minutes to saute. Overall in 15-20 minutes, you can have a wholesome lunch ready for your family.
I would love to hear from you. Tell me what you think of this recipe. Do you have any other suggestions to “healthify” this recipe? I welcome all comments, ideas, tips and feedback. Thanks!!
If you want to follow step by step procedure of making coconut rice, I will suggest www.vegrecipesofindia.com which is an extensive resource for all Indian recipes. I also recommend Vahrevah chef, who teaches recipes with information and humor in his videos.

A city such as Zurich is one that can dramatically change throughout the year, so when you plan on going will play a large factor in deciding on your perfect place to stay.

Best areas to Stay in Zurich Map
To see more detail of where to stay in Zurich map, go to google map;
1. Altstadt (Old Town), where to stay in Zurich for first time visitors
Located right at the heart of Zurich, Altstadt (or Kreis 1) is its most historic area, featuring the original city of Zurich, prior to it being incorporated into the region that currently makes up the city in 1893.
For anyone interested in the history and culture of the area, this is undoubtedly the place to be. With its origins dating back to pre-Roman times, attractions such as a Roman castle and hypocaust share the stage with the marginally more “modern” St Peter’s Church, Kecinsturlin Gate and an Augustinian monastery, which were built in Medieval times.
The Rathaus, or Town Hall, quarter continues the historic theme of the area. Located on the other side of the Limmat river, it is the site of the historic building itself. Containing the Limmatquai, this is the perfect spot to enjoy a relaxing drink or spot of lunch, while taking in all the stunning, historical views.
Altstadt isn’t all history and culture though, as it is the location of the world famous Bahnhofstrasse, a popular street full of high-end and exclusive shops, bars and restaurants. As the most expensive street to purchase retail property in Europe and 3rd most in the world, anyone who wants to treat themselves to some of the finer things in life while they’re on vacation will be spoilt for choice.
The Paradeplatz, one of the most famous squares in Switzerland, is also located towards the southern end of the street, near Lake Zurich. Known primarily for its beautiful architecture, chocolate shop and Confiserie Sprungli café, it is also home to the headquarters of the two largest Swiss banks.
Altstadt is the best place to stay if:
- You want to treat yourself in some high-end shops and restaurants
- You love history and culture
- You want to see boats on a historical quay
- You want to stay near lake Zurich
2. Aussersihl (District 4), the best area to stay in Zurich for nightlife
Also known as Kreis 4, Aussersihl is located to the east of Altstadt, on lands that were traditionally fields and pastures, prior to it being developed during the 18th century. It was also the location of numerous pits used for the deposition of dead animals, earning the region the nickname of Chreis Cheib Cheib, a local colloquialism for an animal cadaver.
Despite its more rural history, this is an area that has developed a significantly different, more party orientated reputation in recent years, most specifically its famed Langstrasse quarter.
While becoming the home of the city’s Red-Light District could have harmed its reputation, they instead embraced the situation, and managed to transition from a somewhat sleazy, adult only destination, to one of the most popular hot spots for nightlife in the city.
Lined with bars and clubs, which stay open till late into the night/early the next morning, depending on how you want to look at it, this is definitely the preferred place to stay for the party animals out there.
There are also a large number of festivals held throughout the year in this region, including carnivals and film and Latin festivals. This makes it ideal for partygoers in the daytime as well, provided you can make it when one of these is occurring.
Aussersihl is the best place to stay if:
- You like to party
- You want to experience some of the city’s “adult” entertainment
- You want to find out a little about the city’s more rural history
- You want to enjoy a festival or street carnival
3. Kreis 2 (District 2), one of the best areas to stay in Zurich for families
With its northern tip sandwiched between our previous two districts, in the heart of the city, while the bulk of it runs down the western shore of Lake Zurich, Kreis 2 is perhaps the most diverse region in all of Zurich.
The Edge region in its north is home to a number of popular attractions, such as The Prehistoric Pile Dwellings Around The Alps, which is a UNESCO World Heritage site, the Synagogue Zurich Lowenstrasse, the oldest synagogue in Zurich, as well as the Voliere Zurich aviary and a botanical garden.
As you go further south in the district, through its Wollishofen and Leimbach neighbourhoods, the district does become less densely populated and built up, but still features plenty to do and see.
Historical sites such as Wollishofen Church and Villa Belvoir, the former home of Swiss patron of the arts Lydia Escher, are interspersed with companies offering passenger ship cruises and the Rote Fabrik cultural centre, to create a locale with a diverse range of offerings for all comers.
There’s even the Zurcher Theater Spektakel, one of the most important European festivals for performing arts, which is held annually every summer.
Kreis 2 is the best place to stay if:
- You want a wide range of activities
- You want to see a world-renowned arts festival
- You enjoy beautiful lake views
- You are interested in boat trips
- You are interested in history
- You are travelling as a family
4. Riesbach, the best area to stay in Zurich for fan of sculptures
On the opposite side of Lake Zurich to Kreis 2, on its eastern shore, lies the region of Riesbach (Kreis 8). Known primarily for Quaianlagen, as a series of quaysides along Lake Zurich, its stunning views and opportunities to take trips out onto the lake draw visitors from all over the world.
This was the location of the original bathhouse in the area, which was demolished when the quay was being built in the late 1800’s. To replace it, two new bath houses, Strandbad Tiefenbrunnen and Seebad Utoquai, were constructed at separate locations.
While the former bath was rebuilt in the last decade, the latter remains, with its stilted “bathing palace” structures and original bathrooms still preserved, now featuring towering domes that were added at a later date.
As beautiful as it is, this is also a historically significant location, as it is the first place in the city where men and women were permitted to bathe together.
Beyond its watery heritage, attractions such as the Klausstud pillar, which originally stood in the lake, the Henry Moore “Sheep Piece” sculpture, the Heidi Weber Art Museum and the Chinese Garden Zurich complete an incredibly unique and varied selection of things to see in the area.
Riesbach is the best place to stay if:
- You are interested in historical bathhouses
- You like quays
- You are a fan of sculptures
- You enjoy museums and gardens
- You enjoy lake views
- You want a less built-up area
5. Kreis 11, staying in Zurich near the airport
The northern most district in Zurich, Kreis 11 is located just north of the Kaferberg and Waidberg mountain summits, between the Glatt Valley and Katzensee Lake.
Despite offering a more rural experience than many parts of the city, it’s also a popular destination for those making shorter trips to the city, especially single night visits, due to it being the location of the Zurich airport.
Not only does it let those coming for a short stay maximise their time in the city, but it also gives people simply making a stop over on their way elsewhere the opportunity to take in a little bit of the city.
With Zurich having the busiest airport between Milan and Munich, this is a perfect chance for those who may never have even considered it as a destination to get a taste of what’s on offer.
Don’t think that the Zurich airport is the only draw to staying in this area though, as it also features some of the city’s best parks, shopping centres and markets, making it a perfect choice for those looking to indulge in some retail therapy or enjoy some beautiful walks without having to leave the city.
There’s even historical value to be found in this district as well, as it was first settled all the way back in the 940’s by the Alemanni people.
Kreis 11 is the best area to stay if:
- You want to be near the airport
- You want to go to shopping centers and markets
- You enjoy walks in parks
- You are interested in the region’s early history
6. Schwamendingen, the newest district in Zurich
Also known as Kreis 12, Schwamendingen is the newest district in Zurich, along with Kreis 11, which were both incorporated in 1934. Together, the pair are known locally as Zurich North.
Located in Zurich’s north eastern corner, it lies in the Glatt Valley, a river valley on the outskirts of the city. While relatively well populated, it is still much less densely so than the districts located closer to the centre of the city.
Featuring more traditional, Bavarian style, architecture and plenty of fields, meadows and rivers, with the Glatt itself being a tributary of the Rhine, this is an ideal destination for anyone looking for a more remote, natural experience of the city.
What makes this even more appealing is that, due to the overall size of Zurich, despite being on the outskirts, it is a fairly quick and easy job getting back into the thick of things, either by car or using the fantastic network of trains, trams and buses, which connect directly to downtown.
Schwamendingen is a great area to stay if:
- You like Bavarian architecture
- You want a more natural experience
- You don’t mind having to use transport to get into the city
- You aren’t too worried about nightlife
- You want to be near to the Zurich airport
7. Industriequartier, staying near Zurich city centre on budget and for shopping
Our final stop brings us to Industriequartier, or Kreis 5, and, if you’re looking at the name and thinking it sounds like a translation of Industrial Quarter, you’d be right. However, don’t let that put you off, as in recent years it has undergone a dramatic transformation, turning it into one of the most up and coming districts in the city.
Great efforts have been put in, to create a hub of shopping, dining and housing opportunities, transforming what was once purely a place of business into a hip, thriving community.
Not only has this meant it has become one of the most popular places for people to move to in Zurich, especially among first time buyers, it is also a huge draw with tourists on a budget too.
This is because the up and coming nature of the region means it still has a reasonable price tag on both accommodation and goods. This allows it to provide a level of value not found anywhere else this close to the centre of the city.
Its former life as a hub of business also means it is well served by public transport, meaning you have plenty of options for getting to the city, airport, other destinations etc, even if you don’t have a car.
Industriequartier is a great area to stay if:
- You want to be near to the heart of the city
- You want to experience an up and coming neighbourhood
- You are travelling on a budget
- You enjoy shopping

- Where To Stay In Zurich For Tourists?
- Where To Stay In Zurich In March?
- Where To Stay In Zurich For Two Nights?
- Where To Stay In Zurich In December?
- Where To Stay In Zurich City Centre?
- Where To Stay In Zurich With A Family?
- Where To Stay In Zurich On A Budget?
- Where To Stay In Zurich Old Town?
- Where To Stay In Zurich Near A Train Station?
- Where To Stay In Zurich In May?
- Where To Stay In Zurich In February?
Where to Stay in Zurich for One Night?
When it comes to staying in a city for just one night, the priorities revolve around how easy it is to get to your accommodation and what there is to do in the area.
For this reason, I would suggest Kreis 11 as your destination. Located right by the airport, you will waste little time getting to and from your destination, and there are plenty of shops, bars, and restaurants in the vicinity, to keep you occupied for an evening.
Additionally, being just a short taxi ride from the city center means you can commute in if there are any particular attractions you are desperate to see.
The beautiful 4-star hotel The Radisson Hotel is located right by the airport, this is the perfect spot for you to quickly drop your bags off and get out into town, while providing luxurious surroundings to unwind in when you’re done. It Also offers free WiFi and a 24-hour fitness room that can be accessed free of charge.
Where to Stay in Zurich for Tourists?
When it comes to picking the best place for tourists to stay, the number one factor that needs to be considered is how much there is in the area to keep them entertained. In Zurich, like many cities, this means staying in the centre of the city.
Altstadt provides a fabulous combination of famous attractions, historical locations, shops, bars and restaurants, to keep everyone entertained, no matter what their interests.
The 5-star hotel The Storchen Zurich, one of the best hotels in Zurich, is located right on the edge of Lake Zurich, 10-minute walk from Zurich Main Station. It is within walking distance of all cultural attractions. The rooms and suites combine classic furnishings with warm colours and modern facilities and feature high-speed wired and wireless internet access and air conditioning.
Where to Stay in Zurich in March?
March is one of the quieter months in Zurich, which makes it a good time to experience some of its attractions that may be more overcrowded during the peak seasons.
One such activity that goes perfectly with the spring season is exploring the famous Lake Zurich. While always beautiful, getting to witness it as the seasons are changing and when there are minimal tourists around makes for a vastly different experience.
Whether you want to take a boat trip out across the water or simply walk around its stunning shores, there probably isn’t a better time to do so.
As for where to stay to achieve this goal, the lake’s eastern shore in Riesbach provides some of the best options for both boat tours for exploring, as well as bars and restaurants to take in the views.
The beautiful, 4-star hotel Opera Hotel is located right on the water’s edge, which makes fulfilling all your springtime dreams on the lake easy and enjoyable. It’s within walking distance from the famous shopping area Bahnhofstrasse as well as financial institutions, sights and fine dining areas.
Where to Stay in Zurich for Two Nights?
While the difference between one and two nights might seem minimal, it actually makes the ideal location significantly different. While for one night you may want somewhere near the airport, to minimise the time you spend getting in and out of town, a two day trip gives you the opportunity to see more, which means reducing the time spent travelling between attractions is much more important.
That means you’ll want to head to Altstadt, the city center, so you have plenty to do and see, all within close proximity to one another, allowing you to squeeze as much as possible into your trip.
The Central Plaza hotel will allow you to take that “in the middle of things” feeling to the next level, as it is located right in central Zurich. With countless attractions in every direction, stunning views across the lake and a location close to the city’s main train station, it will allow you to spend the most time possible enjoying everything the city has to offer.
Where to Stay in Zurich in December?
When it comes to travelling in December, the holiday season, most specifically Christmas, is often one of the biggest factors at play. That’s particularly true in a location such as this, as Switzerland is famed for stunning Christmas displays, markets and traditions.
That means many visitors coming to Zurich in December will want to take in as many of the festive attractions as they can. Thankfully, the people of Zurich have made that a pretty straightforward job, as the four main Christmas markets in the city are all located within close proximity to one another.
So, for anyone wanting to visit them all during their trip, staying in the heart of the city will make that as easy as possible.
The Boutique Hotel Herzkammer is not only located right in the middle of the four attractions, but it also has an “exceptional” rating on booking.com. Boutique Hotel Herzkammer is located just across the street from Zurich’s famous singing Christmas tree. What better way to fill you trip with festive cheer than by spending a few nights here?
Where to Stay in Zurich City Center?
For those wanting a city break, Zurich is a perfect option, as it is a beautiful city, brimming with history, culture and stunning views. When it comes to such a break, people usually want to be right in the centre of things, so they don’t waste time travelling from place to place.
The city center is usually the perfect place to achieve this and in Zurich that is no different. While it offers plenty of fantastic places to stay, to keep you surrounded with things to do and see, perhaps none are as perfect as the Baur Au Lac.
An absolutely gorgeous, 5-star hotel, with a “superb” rating on booking.com, its lavish grounds and interiors are surrounded by the most famous attractions in the city, which are complimented by stunning views out across Lake Zurich. It simply has everything you could possibly dream of on a trip like this.
Where To Stay In Zurich With A Family?
When it comes to selecting the best place to stay with a family, you want to find a destination that allows you to see your desired attractions without having to do too much travelling, yet is far enough out of the centre of things so you can enjoy some quiet time if necessary. It may also need to include plenty of activities to keep younger members of your party entertained.
With that in mind, Kreis 2 is the perfect destination for your trip. With its northern point located in the centre of the city, then stretching out to the south, down the edge of Lake Zurich, it offers the perfect blend of fast paced entertainment and slower, carefree relaxation.
The Alden Suite Hotel perfectly matches the feel that you’re going for with this destination. A 5-star hotel with an 8.4/10 rating on booking.com, located on the edge of Lake Zurich, it provides luxury and stunning views, while the larger, suite style, rooms are perfect when travelling as a family.
Where To Stay In Zurich On A Budget?
Those looking to make a trip on a tight budget are usually trying to find a place that is easy on the wallet, but don’t necessarily want to just find the cheapest place going.
Oftentimes, finding an emerging neighbourhood provides you with low-cost accommodation, while still being able to offer a level of quality to make you feel like it’s a treat to be there, which is usually what you want on a vacation.
They can do this as the area won’t have a reputation that pushes the price up yet, giving those shopping on a budget the best value returns for their money.
As far as Zurich goes, the best place to demonstrate this is Industriequartier and, more specifically, The Henry hotel. A stunning hotel, with a “fabulous” rating on hotels.com, it is available for substantially less than would be expected for accommodation of this calibre, with the shops and restaurants surrounding it providing a similar level of value.
Where To Stay In Zurich Old Town?
For those seeking an authentic “Old Town” experience, the Savoy Baur En Ville is simply unbeatable.
A beautiful, historic hotel, located in Zurich’s most famous square, Paradeplatz, on its most famous street, Bahnhofstrasse, surrounded by some of the city’s most iconic churches and museums, it offers the complete package when it comes to immersing yourself in the history of the area.
Where To Stay In Zurich Near A Train Station?
For those who would prefer to travel by train than by plane, Zurich is certainly a fantastic choice to visit. Not only does it have incredible transport links throughout, but it also features the busiest railway hub in Europe and one of the busiest in the world in Zurich Hauptbahnhof. This makes getting in and out of the city a breeze.
Located in Kreis 1, near where it meets Kreis 4, 5 and 6, it is perfectly situated to serve most of the inner areas of Zurich. Speaking of perfect, the Hotel Schweizerhof is a 4-star hotel with a “superb” rating on bokking.com, located right next to the station itself, making it the perfect choice on everything from luxury to location.
Where To Stay In Zurich In May?
The month of May is a time of the year that can be hard to establish what people will want from a vacation. The winter months, perfect for activities such as skiing, have passed, but the warm, summer months aren’t quite here yet, meaning cities have to rely on the events they hold to draw the visitors in.
Zurich is no different in that respect, so those planning a trip in May might be excited to learn that the popular Zurich Tanzt performance art festival is held during the month. Featuring performances at over 175 events, in both private and public locations, it annually draws 15,000 visitors to witness the spectacle.
With the festival being largely centred around Zurich’s main train station, staying in close proximity to that will allow you to take in everything the festival has to offer, which makes the 4-star Hotel Schweizerhof, with its “superb” rating on booking.com, located just opposite the station, the perfect choice.
Where To Stay In Zurich In February?
When planning a trip to a city, you should never overlook the activities you can do outside the city while you’re there. With Switzerland being one of the worlds premier skiing destinations, and many of its resorts being located in close proximity to Zurich, why not take the opportunity to get on the slopes while you can?
There is perhaps no better time to do so than February, as this is considered to be the month that provides the country’s best conditions for skiing.
When it comes to where to stay to do this, the closest ski resort to the city is Sattel-Hochstuckli, located south of the city.
That makes Kreis 2 and, more specifically the Ibis Zurich Adliswil, a perfect location to stay, as it is less than a 35 minute drive to the resort from the hotel, allowing you to easily combine skiing with your city break.

SINGAPORE--Singapore Airlines Ltd. (C6L.SG) said Friday that it has selected Rolls-Royce Holdings PLC (RR.LN) to supply engines for Boeing Co. (BA) 787 'Dreamliner' jets on order for the parent carrier and its budget long-haul unit Scoot Pte.
Singapore Airlines had on May 30 announced an order for 30 787-10X jets for delivery from the financial year starting April 2018 but didn't name an engine supplier. The stretched version of the Dreamliner ordered by Singapore Airlines for its medium-haul routes is yet to be formally launched by Boeing.
Separately, Scoot ordered the same Trent 1000 engines for its 20 Dreamliner jets that start coming in from next year. Scoot has a different version of the jets on order.
Airlines typically order engines and airframes separately.

Mann grad among recipients of SCTA scholarships
Two Upstate tennis players who spent years moving up the ranks of junior tennis were awarded scholarships as they headed off to college.
Parks Schoen of Simpsonville and Natalie Ivey of Anderson are the recipients of $2,000 scholarships from the South Carolina Tennis Patrons Foundation.
A junior player from the coast, Austin Heinz of Daniel Island, also picked up a $2,000 scholarship from the foundation.
The SCTPF awards committee looked at the students' academic as well as tennis achievements, their character, extracurricular activities and community service. The students also submitted essays explaining the impact of tennis on their lives.
Schoen, a J.L. Mann graduate and possible future dentist who was recruited by Wofford College, won the Randall G. Heffron D.M.D. Memorial Scholarship.
In his essay, Schoen noted that the sport, with its challenges and competition, “helped shape me into who I am today,” according to a portion of his essay quoted in a news release from the USTA South Carolina.
Schoen, valedictorian of Mann’s Class of 2014, said earlier that he signed with Wofford because of its pre-dental program as well as its tennis team.
He played No. 1 on the Patriots’ varsity for four years, compiling a 101-15 record. During his high school career, his team won the Class AAAA state title in 2012, and Schoen won the state singles title that same year.
Schoen's scholarship from the SCTPF was funded through the Coastal Community Foundation.
Ivey, a T.L. Hanna graduate, is going to Clemson University. She won the Lucy Garvin Scholarship, named for the long-time tennis volunteer and former U.S. Tennis Association national president from Greenville.
Hanna’s tennis MVP in 2013, Ivey wrote that tennis taught her “nothing is achieved without setting a goal, working day and night to achieve it and staying calm in difficult situations,” according to the news release.
Heinz, a graduate of Palmetto Christian Academy and a Samford University recruit, won the Jim Russell Scholarship.
The 2014 South Carolina Lowcountry Tennis Player of the Year, Heinz noted in his essay that tennis helped him develop will power, determination and mental toughness.
The Jim Russell Scholarship is named for the late Belton resident and referee at the Palmetto Championships, ACC and NCAA tennis tournaments. Russell died in 2012.

Who Is Running the Mysterious PAC Supporting Roy Moore?
Treasurer Brooke Pendley is a hard person to find
Brooke Pendley is a self-described “fire-breathing young female conservative patriot” out “to save Judge Roy Moore” with a newly formed political action committee, but good luck trying to find her beyond the fundraising emails.
On Oct. 17, Pendley filed a statement of organization for Club for Conservatives PAC with the Federal Election Commission, listing herself as the treasurer. Over the course of less than three weeks, Pendley has sent out at least 10 fundraising emails.
- BREAKING! Roy Moore’s Accuser is a Complete FRAUD (Nov. 13)
- Senator’s sexual assault caught on film (Nov. 16)
- ANOTHER sexual assault victim? (Nov. 20)
- Al FrankenPERV caught on film groping victim (Nov. 21)
- Why is Al Franken smiling in this picture? (Nov. 22)
- BREAKING: New victim fingers Al Franken-stein (Nov. 22)
- Rev. Franklin Graham: “Shame on those hypocrites.” (Nov. 26)
- Schumer/Pelosi Puppet = Disaster (Nov. 28)
- Mom is a LIAR (Nov. 30)
- Moore accuser’s son: Mom is a LIAR (Dec. 1)
Each plea for money usually included more than 1,000 words from Pendley, railing against liberals, Democrats, the media and so-called establishment Republicans, using red-meat rhetoric that grass-roots conservatives love, along with a picture of a blonde young woman at the end with her signature.
Someone with such strong opinions who is sophisticated enough to set up a PAC seems likely to have previous work in politics, grass-roots causes, or conservative media.
But Brooke Pendley doesn’t have a discernible online profile anywhere except in the fundraising emails. (The only other time she shows up in a Google News search is from someone citing one of the emails.) And the basic information surrounding the PAC is confusing at best.
Where is Club for Conservatives PAC?
In the FEC filing, Pendley lists 710 East Main Street, Lexington, KY 40502 as the committee’s address. That address matches a co-working space run by Your SMARTOFFICE Solution. A call to that office Wednesday revealed the company has no affiliation with Club for Conservatives PAC and the committee is not a client.
In addition, five of the emails (Nov. 28, 26, 21, and both from Nov. 22) have another mailing address, from another state, listed at the bottom: 435 Merchant Walk Square, Ste 300 — 516, Charlottesville, VA 22902. This appears to be in or near a strip mall, according to a Google Maps search, roughly 400 miles from Lexington.
The Nov. 20 email listed the Lexington address at the bottom, while the Nov. 13 and 16 emails, and the most recent Nov. 30 and Dec. 1 ones, didn’t include a mailing address.
There is a common email address in the “from” field of the emails: firstname.lastname@example.org.
The SupportRoyMoore.com domain appears to have been registered on Sept. 25 to a P.O. box in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, using GoDaddy.com and a phone number with an Alabama area code (information that has been removed or hidden in the last couple of days). That phone number belongs to Bob Blain of Pelham (outside of Birmingham) who said in a phone interview that he did not register the domain, hasn’t heard of Club for Conservatives, and does not know anything about the P.O. box.
The website is very basic and consists of one page with a couple of photos of Moore and a place to enter a name and email address to “Sign the Pledge to Stand with Roy Moore!” There is no disclaimer, disclosure, contact information, or place to donate money, or even a mention of Club for Conservatives PAC.
But the email@example.com email address was used in fundraising emails from Solution Fund PAC on Nov. 14 and 25 and Sept. 26.
Solution Fund PAC was registered with the FEC on Aug. 27 by Robert San Luis, a trailer-park developer, according to The Daily Beast, and run by John Mathis out of Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The committee raised nearly $500,000 through the end of September, had $100,000 in loans from Mathis, and finished the third quarter of the year with $183,000 in cash on hand. Solution Fund PAC is also soliciting financial support to indirectly help Kelli Ward of Arizona, Danny Tarkanian of Nevada, Chris McDaniel of Mississippi and Tennessee Rep. Marsha Blackburn, according to the PAC’s one-page website.
But Solution Fund’s fundraising emails have also gone out from different email addresses including firstname.lastname@example.org, email@example.com and firstname.lastname@example.org. Kay Daly is a conservative activist and consultant who most recently received 2.8 percent of the vote in last year’s Republican primary in North Carolina’s 13th District, finishing eleventh out of 17 candidates. A call to Mathis on Wednesday was not returned.
Who in Congress Is Pushing Roy Moore to Drop Senate Bid?
Where is Brooke Pendley?
Basic searches don’t reveal a Brooke Pendley who matches the profile and picture of the woman from the Club for Conservatives fundraising emails.
Five emailed interview requests over the course of five days sent to Pendley via email@example.com (the email address listed on the FEC statement of organization) and two to firstname.lastname@example.org have gone unreturned.
There is an Alexa Brooke Pendley registered to vote in Forsyth County, according to the North Carolina State Board of Elections & Ethics Enforcement website. That Pendley registered to vote as a Republican on Oct. 26, 2015 and voted in the 2016 primary, runoff, and general elections. She is also registered to vote from the same Clemmons, North Carolina address as Nathanael and Betty Pendley.
Nate Pendley is a lawyer and former top aide to former GOP Reps. Steve Stockman of Texas and Thaddeus McCotter of Michigan. He has also worked with conservative consultant Jack Daly (Kay Daly’s husband) on some notorious campaign schemes, including attempting to recruit a homeless man in 2000 to run against the incumbent North Carolina state auditor who had the same last name to spark confusion on the Democratic primary ballot. Last year, Nate Pendley appeared on behalf of Kay Daly at a congressional candidate forum. More recently, he worked for the Draft Sheriff Clarke for Senate committee, founded by Jack Daly, which Clarke told the local media was a “scam PAC.”
Calls to Nate Pendley on Wednesday and Thursday were not returned.
To add more mystery to the situation, the Alexa Brooke Pendley in North Carolina goes by “Lexie,” according to local sources. And the picture from eight of the fundraising emails looks like one of the Pendleys’ other daughters, Katherine or “Katie.” The Thursday and Friday emails didn’t contain a photo in the signature.
Attempts to reach Lexie and Katie via Twitter on Thursday were unsuccessful.
What’s the big deal?
“Phantom” or “scam” PACs aren’t new. These committees aren’t directly affiliated with the candidate and can’t legally coordinate with the candidate. They raise money on the prospect that the donor is helping the candidate, but a majority of those funds often goes to consultants. The people behind the PACs aren’t often hidden and instead are visible in the media in order to raise their profiles and raise more money.
In this case, the FEC can’t and won’t likely act until or unless a formal complaint is filed. The commissioners would then decide whether to investigate through an inquiry. The FEC could decide to conduct a for-cause audit, but since Club for Conservatives PAC is less than two months old, it hasn’t had to file a quarterly report yet and there hasn’t been time to miss a deadline or raise copious amounts of money that might increase awareness and suspicion.
The penalty for not having a legitimate treasurer is unclear, considering current and former FEC sources can’t remember a comparative case from the past. But the bottom line is that the treasurer is the one who is authorized to raise and spend money for the PAC, and if that person isn’t legitimate, then the group is fraudulently raising money and subject to penalties.

A few weeks ago, I lambasted the local media over the standard of their reporting during the plasticizer food scare, saying that the general standard of journalism in Taiwan couldn’t get much lower.
How wrong I was.
In a commentary printed on July 28, the Chinese--language United Daily News (UDN) went off on a rant about the Norwegian gunman Anders Behring Breivik and his stated admiration of Taiwan for protecting its “monoculture.”
However, instead of rebutting the factual errors in the self-confessed killer’s manifesto with facts and figures about the tens of thousands of “new Taiwanese” immigrants and how they contribute to society and the economy, the UDN went off on a wild tangent, choosing to compare Breivik to supporters of Taiwanese independence — in particular those who discriminate against Mainlanders or accuse the pan-blue camp of selling out Taiwan.
It was a connection that only those wearing the deepest blue-tinted spectacles could ever conceive, and while the commentary did include a caveat that it was “unlikely” an atrocity such as that carried out by Breivik could ever occur in Taiwan, the very fact this “theory” was concocted, written and put into print shows that the editorial writers at the UDN have much more in common with the gunman than any Taiwanese independence supporter ever could.
Indeed, the only loose cannon the pan-blue camp and its media friends should be worrying about at this moment in time is a certain James Soong (宋楚瑜).
This is the same Soong who announced his retirement from politics after getting less than 5 percent of the vote and losing his deposit in the Taipei mayoral election of 2006. The same Soong who came within a whisker of becoming president back in 2000 and the same Soong who has been a constant thorn in the backside of the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) since he was kicked out of the party following a spat with former president Lee Teng-hui (李登輝).
For reasons known only to himself, but in all likelihood to do with his utter hatred of President Ma Ying-jeou (馬英九), Soong has now thrown his hat into the ring ahead of January’s presidential and legislative elections, although he’s not entirely sure which ring to throw it into yet.
Soong’s reanimation has caused panic among the pan-blue media, with chat shows and newspapers lining up to take pot shots at their former darling.
Naturally, the UDN was at the front of the line. With the elections nearing, it is busy printing hysterical hack attacks on anyone who so much as threatens the KMT’s “divine right” to govern.
Just one day after its Breivik abomination, the UDN went to town on Soong, daring him to run for the presidency, while questioning his motives and pondering how Soong’s campaign would negatively affect the “future of the Republic of China” (ROC).
Am I the only one who thinks it ironic that the UDN can be so worried about the future of the ROC while simultaneously advocating ever-closer ties to China?
A path that further down the line is all but certain to spell the end of its beloved republic.
However, why let an all-too-obvious contradiction get in the way of a good hatchet job?
This is Taiwan’s media we are talking about, after all.
Joe Doufu is a Taipei-based satirist.

Denver Newsroom, Sep 30, 2022 / 16:00 pm (CNA).
Catholic organizations joined the chorus of condemnation of the Wednesday night attack by abortion militants on the Bogotá cathedral and demanded that the Colombian authorities arrest those involved in this act of “terrorism.”
The night of Sept. 28, a group of feminists with their faces covered tried to burn down the main doors of the Bogotá cathedral while others tagged the wall with pro-abortion graffiti to the astonishment of passers-by and the inaction of the officials present from the Bogotá Mayor’s Office.
The attackers were part of demonstration for the Day for the Decriminalization and Legalization of Abortion. In their speeches, the feminists demanded that “legal and safe” abortion be allowed in Colombia.
Abortion up to 24 weeks of pregnancy was decriminalized by the Constitutional Court in February.
In a Sept. 29 statement, the Archdiocese of Bogotá said: “We reject all forms of violence in actions and words, we demand civility on the part of the promoters and participants of marches and protests, we ask the authorities to guarantee the life, honor, and property of citizens.”
The newly formed Pro-Life Caucus of the Colombian Congress stated Sept. 29: “We reject the acts of violence and intolerance that occurred yesterday by a group of marchers in defense of abortion. The attacks against believers and the attempted incineration of the doors of the Primatial Cathedral of Colombia are unacceptable.”
The citizen platform United for Life and the Catholic Solidarity Movement joined pro-life members of Congress and the Archdiocese of Bogotá in condemning the arson and vandalism.
In a statement issued Sept. 29, the Catholic Solidarity Movement accused the mayor of Bogotá, Claudia López, of having “dismantled the reaction capacity of the police,” which allowed the attack to take place.
“When a crime such as murder by abortion, which is in the Penal Code, is legitimized, these young women believe that they can commit any other crime,” the group said in reference to the feminists.
The president of the Catholic Solidarity Movement, Samuel Ángel, announced that they will file a complain against “these terrorists” so that they take responsibility “for the alleged crimes of damage to the property of others, rioting, damage to the public good, disrespect for beliefs, vandalism, terrorism, attempted murder, [and] conspiracy to commit a crime.”
The United for Life platform demanded that the National Prosecutor’s Office locate and capture “this group of abortionists.”
“We demand disciplinary sanctions from the mayor’s office of the city of Bogotá for the officers of the peace who did nothing to prevent this aggression by the abortionist advocates,” the organization stated.
United for Life said “it is not possible for the homicidal violence of the abortion movement to turn into terrorist actions that attack churches and people and institutions that do not want to be part of the genocidal crime of abortion.”
Not only have abortion proponents worked for “the decriminalization of abortion by prevaricating judges of the Constitutional Court, but now these abortion advocates intend to terrorize anyone who doesn’t actively cooperate to carry out this crime against Colombian unborn babies and their parents,” the platform said.
The people’s ombudsman, Carlos Camargo Assis, also condemned the attack and pointed out that “freedom of expression or the right to peaceful public demonstration cannot be understood as letters of marque to attack the exercise of worship by citizens” or to destroy the religious heritage, “which is considered sacred by millions of people.”
Camargo noted in an official statement posted online that freedom of worship is a fundamental right recognized by the Constitution and Statutory Law 133 of 1994, which impose on the authorities the obligation to guarantee it.
The ombudsman called for investigations to be conducted “that allow punishing, if appropriate, those who may have committed crimes against this fundamental right.”
The director of the National Police, General Henry Sanabria, told a local radio station that four women involved in this incident have been taken into custody.
