Kai Wegner (* 15. September 1972 in West-Berlin) ist ein deutscher Politiker (CDU). Er ist seit November 2021 Mitglied des Abgeordnetenhauses von Berlin, dort Fraktionsvorsitzender der CDU Berlin und zugleich Oppositionsführer. Zuvor war er ab 2005 Mitglied des Deutschen Bundestages. Er ist zudem seit Mai 2019 Landesvorsitzender der CDU Berlin.

Leben und Beruf
Wegner wuchs in Berlin-Spandau als Sohn eines Bauarbeiters und einer Einzelhandelskauffrau auf. Nach Besuch der Hans-Carossa-Oberschule in der Streitstraße in Berlin-Hakenfelde (heutiger Standort der Schule in Berlin-Kladow) leistete Wegner von 1993 bis 1994 seinen Wehrdienst ab und absolvierte anschließend eine Ausbildung zum Versicherungskaufmann, die er 1997 beendete. Danach arbeitete er im Vertrieb eines Versicherungsunternehmens, bis er 1999 als Projektleiter in der Öffentlichkeitsarbeit in ein mittelständisches Bauunternehmen wechselte. Von 2001 bis 2002 gehörte er dort auch der Geschäftsleitung an. Von 2002 bis 2012 war er als Unternehmensberater in Berlin selbständig tätig. Von 2017 bis 2020 war er ehrenamtlicher Präsident des DLRG-Landesverbandes Berlin.

Kai Wegner ist evangelisch, geschieden und hat drei Kinder.

Partei
Wegner trat 1989 in die Junge Union (JU) und die CDU ein. Er war von 1990 bis 1992 Landesvorsitzender der Schüler Union in Berlin und von 1994 bis 1997 Vorsitzender des JU-Kreisverbandes Berlin-Spandau. Nachdem er von 1994 bis 1996 stellvertretender JU-Landesvorsitzender war, war Wegner von Januar 2000 bis Mai 2003 schließlich Landesvorsitzender der JU Berlin.

Von 2000 bis 2002 war er außerdem stellvertretender CDU-Landesvorsitzender in Berlin. Im April 2005 wurde er zum Vorsitzenden des CDU-Kreisverbandes Spandau gewählt. Zuvor war er dort schon seit 1998 stellvertretender Kreisvorsitzender gewesen. Von Dezember 2011 bis Dezember 2016 war Kai Wegner Generalsekretär der CDU Berlin. Er stellte sein Amt überraschend zur Verfügung, da er dem Wunsch von Monika Grütters nach Veränderung nicht im Wege stehen wollte. Sein Nachfolger in dieser Position wurde Stefan Evers.

Ab Dezember 2017 war Wegner erneut stellvertretender Landesvorsitzender der Berliner CDU und kündigte im März 2019 seine Kandidatur für den Landesvorsitz an.

Am 18. Mai 2019 wurde er schließlich, als Nachfolger von Monika Grütters, zum Landesvorsitzenden gewählt.

Im Oktober 2020 gab Wegner seine Absicht bekannt, bei der Abgeordnetenhauswahl 2021 für das Amt des Regierenden Bürgermeisters von Berlin zu kandidieren.

Am 19. Juni 2021 wurde Wegner offiziell als Spitzenkandidat aufgestellt und im Amt des Landesvorsitzenden bestätigt. Bei der im Nachhinein für ungültig erklärten Wahl zum Abgeordnetenhaus erreichte die CDU mit 18,0 Prozent lediglich den dritten Platz hinter der SPD und den Grünen. Im neuen Parlament übernahm Wegner den Vorsitz der CDU-Fraktion und wurde Oppositionsführer gegen den rot-grün-roten Senat der Regierenden Bürgermeisterin Franziska Giffey.

Der CDU-Bundesvorsitzende Friedrich Merz erklärte im Oktober 2022, dass Kai Wegner bei der Wiederholungswahl zum Abgeordnetenhaus 2023 erneut als Spitzenkandidat antreten wird.
Bei der Wahl am 12. Februar 2023 wurde die CDU unter Wegner mit 28,2 Prozent stärkste Kraft, in Berlin zum ersten Mal seit 24 Jahren. In Folge führte Wegner je drei Sondierungsgespräche mit SPD und Grünen mit dem Ziel, eine "Berlin-Koalition" mit ihm als Regierenden Bürgermeister zu bilden. Am 1. März 2023 empfahl die Regierende Bürgermeisterin Franziska Giffey zur Überraschung ihrer ehemaligen Regierungspartner Grüne und Linke dem SPD-Vorstand, Koalitionsverhandlungen mit der CDU aufzunehmen. Am Folgetag stimmte der CDU-Landesvorstand auf Empfehlung Wegners ebenfalls für Verhandlungen mit der SPD.

Abgeordneter
Wegner gehörte von 1995 bis 1999 der Bezirksverordnetenversammlung von Berlin-Spandau und von 1999 bis Oktober 2005 dem Abgeordnetenhaus von Berlin an. Im Abgeordnetenhaus war er ab 2001 stellvertretender Vorsitzender und ab 2003 auch wirtschaftspolitischer Sprecher der CDU-Fraktion. Im Jahr 2002 kandidierte er erfolglos für den Deutschen Bundestag.

Von 2005 bis 2021 war er ununterbrochen Mitglied des Deutschen Bundestages und dort ab 2009 für mehrere Jahre Vorsitzender der Landesgruppe Berlin in der CDU/CSU-Fraktion.

Nach Recherchen der Vice-Journalisten Felix Dachsel und Robert Hofmann, die 2021 zur Aserbaidschan-Affäre recherchierten, wurde Kai Wegner neben anderen Unionsfunktionären in vertraulichen Dokumenten der regimenahen Lobbyorganisation The European Azerbaijan Society als Kontakt aufgeführt.

Wegner ist bei der Bundestagswahl 2009 als Direktkandidat des Wahlkreises Berlin-Spandau-Charlottenburg Nord mit 36,4 % der Erststimmen in den Bundestag eingezogen.

Auch bei der Bundestagswahl 2013 errang Wegner das Direktmandat seines Wahlkreises und zog mit 39,2 % der Erststimmen in den Bundestag ein.

Wegner war in der 18. Wahlperiode des Deutschen Bundestages Mitglied des Ausschusses für Umwelt, Naturschutz, Bau und Reaktorsicherheit und Beauftragter für große Städte der CDU/CSU-Bundestagsfraktion.

Bei der Bundestagswahl am 24. September 2017 unterlag er in seinem Wahlkreis mit 30,9 Prozent der Stimmen dem SPD-Abgeordneten Swen Schulz, der auf 32,1 Prozent der Stimmen kam. Wegner zog über die Landesliste in den Bundestag ein.

In der 19. Wahlperiode war Kai Wegner Vorsitzender der Arbeitsgruppe Bau, Wohnen, Stadtentwicklung und Kommunen der CDU/CSU-Bundestagsfraktion und damit auch deren baupolitischer Sprecher. Zudem war er ordentliches Mitglied im Ausschuss für Umwelt, Naturschutz und nukleare Sicherheit sowie stellvertretendes Mitglied im Ausschuss für Verkehr und digitale Infrastruktur und im Gemeinsamen Ausschuss.

Bei der nachträglich für ungültig erklärten Wahl zum Berliner Abgeordnetenhaus im September 2021 trat Wegner als Spitzenkandidat der CDU Berlin an. Letztlich erzielte die Partei 18,0 % der Zweitstimmen und landete hinter der SPD (21,4 %) und den Grünen (18,9 %) auf Platz 3. Wegner gewann aber mit 36,5 % das Direktmandat im Wahlkreis Spandau 5 und zog am 4. November 2021 in das Abgeordnetenhaus ein. Nachdem Burkard Dregger überraschend den Einzug in das Parlament verpasst hatte, folgte ihm Wegner bereits am 30. September 2021 im Amt des Fraktionsvorsitzenden.

Für die Wiederholungswahl zum Berliner Abgeordnetenhaus 2023 trat Wegner erneut als Spitzenkandidat seiner Partei an und führte die CDU mit 28,2 % zum Wahlsieg und somit zur mit Abstand stärksten Fraktion im Abgeordnetenhaus. Seinen Wahlkreis Spandau 5 gewann er mit 46,9 % deutlich vor dem SPD-Kandidat Uwe Ziesak (22,0 %) und zog wieder in das Berliner Landesparlament ein. Dort wurde er vier Tage nach der Wahl als Fraktionsvorsitzender der CDU wiedergewählt.

Kritik und Kontroversen
Mario Czaja, Mitglied des Abgeordnetenhauses von Berlin für die CDU, warf Wegner im Mai 2021 einen "riskanten Rechtskurs" vor und sah ihn in ideologischer Nähe zu Hans-Georg Maaßen, weil er auf die Frage, ob Herr Maaßen Platz in der Berliner CDU hätte, geantwortet hatte, dass Herr Maaßen selbstverständlich Mitglied der Berliner CDU sein könne. Ende Januar 2023 forderte Wegner im Wahlkampf den Parteiausschluss von Maaßen.

Im Zuge der Krawalle in der Silvesternacht 2022 geriet Wegner in die Kritik, weil er im Namen der CDU-Fraktion vom Berliner Senat Auskunft über die Vornamen der deutschen Tatverdächtigen verlangte. Vertreter der rot-rot-grünen Regierungskoalition warfen Wegner daraufhin Rassismus vor, weil er Menschen mit Migrationshintergrund nicht als richtige Deutsche anerkennen wolle. Wegner wies die Anschuldigung der rassistischen Diskriminierung von sich. Nur wenn man Probleme benenne, könne man sie lösen. Unter Berliner Muslimen erhielt die CDU trotz der Kontroverse die meisten Stimmen bei der Wiederholungswahl zum Berliner Abgeordnetenhaus am 12. Februar 2023, zu Menschen mit Migrationshintergrund wurden keine Daten erhoben.

Im März 2023 berichteten mehrere Medien darüber, dass Wegner während der COVID-19-Pandemie bis 2021 einer Facebook-Gruppe als Administrator angehört habe, in der auch rechtsextreme, verfassungsfeindliche und verschwörungstheoretische Inhalte verbreitet wurden. Wegner wies die Vorwürfe zurück. Zur Facebook-Gruppe gehörten auch der SPD-Fraktionsvorsitzender im Berliner Abgeordnetenhaus, Raed Saleh, Hamburgs Verkehrssenator Anjes Tjarks (Grüne) und René Domke, Landesvorsitzender der FDP in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Die taz hält es daher für möglich, dass alle diese Politiker möglicherweise ohne eigenes Zutun von Dritten zur Gruppe hinzugefügt wurden.

Q: $.ajax fires success when not async; error when async? I've got an $.ajax doing a PUT onto an API endpoint .
When the 'async' option is true the error handler fires for FF/Chrome but not for IE.
When 'async' is false but the success handler fires for all three browsers .
What could be causing this ?
I've stripped both JS and C# down to the minimum and it currently looks like this .
The JS code  :
function _saveClickHandlerFactoryTESTBED(rtrnToSmplDtlsURL){
return (function (event) {
    $.ajax({
        url: '/api/templatesetallocationcontroller/updatesampletemplatesetselection',
        type: 'PUT',
        dataType: 'json',
        data: {},
        contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8',
        async: false,
        success: function (data, textStatus, jqXHR) {
            console.log("Success !")
        },
        error: function (jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {
            console.log("Error !")
        }
    });
});
};

And elsewhere in the JS
$('#btnsave').bind("click", _saveClickHandlerFactoryTESTBED( rtrnToSmplDtlsURL ));

The C# just sends a 200 response under all circs :
    [System.Web.Http.Route("api/templatesetallocationcontroller/updatesampletemplatesetselection/")]
    [System.Web.Http.HttpPut]
    public HttpResponseMessage UpdateSampleTemplateSetSelection([FromBody]JObject jsonbody)
    {
        try
        {
            return Request.CreateErrorResponse(HttpStatusCode.OK, "OK");
        }
        catch (Exception ae)
        {
            throw;
        }
    }

In fiddler I can see the 200 response coming back ...

... but when in FF/Chrome the error handler is fired not the success handler.
Due to something else I read on Stackoverflow I tried changing the Ajax invocation so that it was synchronous and it appears this makes the success handler fire for all three browsers !
Any ideas on why the different browser / synch-asynch behaviour ?
I should come clean and confess the jQuery version is 1.11.x which is a couple of years old.

An agent, action, or condition that elicits or accelerates an activity or response.
Something that incites or rouses to action; an incentive.
I am completely NAUSEATED . . . this entire stimulus package is going to be one of the greatest debacles ever witnessed in history of government intervention. I am surprised that President Obama is spending so much of his political capital on ramming through a 100% partisan, pet project, hasty "stimulus package" that has the lobbyist and beltway bandits lined up from DC to CA jousting for trough time.
We should not let the need to just do something, be the excuse for us to do just anything.
The entire approach to this is absurd. I doubt ANY of these congressional people would make this type of financial decision in their personal lives. We are essentially burying the next generation in an insurmountable mountain of debt. This feels like a no huddle "Hail Mary". Furthermore, where exactly is the "stimulus"? If this is the "Change We Need" than we are in for quite a ride. I guess the last eight years crashing to the floor was just preparatory to crash right on through to the basement. Isn't there a better way than this?
I would argue that there absolutely is.
I agree the current crisis calls for bold measures, but none of what I see is truly bold in the "bail forward" mode that I believe needs to happen. We need to make virtuous cycle investments that can spin out additional investments and build momentum in the multiples. We cannot make vicious cycle investments that not only throw good money after bad but demoralize in the process.
X PRIZE is a $10 million+ award given to the first team to achieve a specific goal, set by the X PRIZE Foundation, which has the potential to benefit humanity. The X PRIZE competitions capture the imagination of the public and speed radical breakthroughs that can ultimately change the way we see ourselves and how we live on this planet. Rather than awarding money to honor past achievements or directly funding research, an X PRIZE incites innovation by tapping into our competitive and entrepreneurial spirits. The first X PRIZE for private spaceflight received worldwide attention and the winning SpaceShipOne is now hanging in the Smithsonian National Air & Space Museum.
There are many types of competitions and awards around the world, but an X PRIZE is in a class by itself. What sets us apart from other non-profit organizations is our ability to frame a challenge and incentivize a solution in a way that our efforts and funds are multiplied exponentially by the teams who strive to compete and win the prize.
There are three primary benefits of well constructed prizes and media savvy global competitions: they are a high-leverage and efficient investment, a powerful innovation strategy, and an effective change strategy.
Fascinating. Invest in the things that can generate multiple multiples of additional investment (X PRIZE reports 10-40X multiples beyond the prize money). Think of how this can work in the health care IT space, in the health care delivery sector, and in the health care finance arena. What types of investments, what technologies, what new system designs could you create with this type of focus. What if we spent just a fraction of the stimulus to really try to stimulate the economy?
Perhaps we need an X PRIZE in order to create a real "Stimulus" Bill.

Every little being and creature living on Earth to have its barcode
Scientists make an inventory of all animals and plants living on planet Earth
Author: Alaskalink.US, editor Al...
Specialists of the Russian Academy of Sciences decided to establish a new project entitled "Barcodes of flora and fauna in Russia." The project continues the initiative of the world Consortium the Barcode of Life (CBOL), established in 2004.
The consortium currently incorporates 69 organizations from 31 states: natural-science museums, zoos and herbariums, research institutes, governmental agencies, etc. The consortium was established to preserve the biological diversity of species on Earth. Scientists believe, however, that it is extremely important to possess the biological database of animals and plants living on planet Earth before it could be systematized and encoded.
The consortium is working on the joint system of information, which will allow to make an inventory of all animals and plants living on planet Earth (microorganisms do not count), and help identify the newly discovered species as well.
Specialists have made the list of only 1.7 million species of animals and plants so far. Insects make about a half of the currently-prepared list. Biologists even joke about it saying that "God likes beetles."
About ten million species inhabit planet Earth nowadays: scientists will therefore have to register eight million more. The enumeration of species is traditionally based on a verbal approach: specialists describe the outward appearance, the area, the living conditions and breeding peculiarities of a specimen, etc. The Barcode of Life sets forth a new method of registration. The idea is simple: scientists can distinguish a certain standard section in the DNA of a specimen, declassify it, or determine the nucleotide succession, and put the information in the adequate database on the Internet. If biologists find an unusual plant and identify its barcode, they will have to compare it with the ones already included in the database. If the difference exceeds the level of three percent, the discovered plant could be added to the category of the barcoded species in the database. If the difference is larger, one can announce the discovery of a new species.
The identification of the barcode, or the nucleotide succession, is a standard procedure nowadays. It only requires special equipment to conduct polymerase chain reactions and an automatic sequencer. New generation of compact sequencers allows to conduct the procedure outdoors. A leg of a previously unknown butterfly, for example, should be placed in the receiving department of the device. The sequencer establishes a contact with the database online and categorizes the insect as a known or an unknown creature.
The Barcode of Life project is spreading in the world speedily. Russian scientists are going to join the project in the near future as well and start registering endangered species of Russia's flora and fauna first and foremost.

Canadian Labour Congress and Muslim group accuse Scheer of emboldening far-right actors
Michelle Carbert
Published March 21, 2019 Updated March 22, 2019
CLC President Hassan Yussuff speaks during a news conference about pay equity in Ottawa on Oct. 31, 2018.
Adrian Wyld/The Canadian Press
The leaders of Canada's largest labour organization and a prominent national Muslim group say Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer is emboldening far-right extremists by failing to call out Islamophobia following the New Zealand mosque shootings and attending events with people who promote hate speech.
Canadian Labour Congress (CLC) president Hassan Yussuff criticized Mr. Scheer's response to the shootings at two mosques in Christchurch last week that left 50 people dead and dozens more injured. Mr. Scheer issued a lengthy statement about the terrorism attacks Friday after his initial Twitter message on the shootings were criticized for failing to mention that the victims were Muslims.
"Unfortunately the opposition leader had to be shamed to do a 180-degree turn to actually acknowledge what happened. Had he not been shamed, I'm not sure he would have changed his position," Mr. Yussuf said Thursday.
Ihsaan Gardee, the executive director of the National Council of Canadian Muslims (NCCM), said Mr. Scheer's initial decision to avoid saying that the victims were Muslims and the attacks took place at mosques "felt very deliberate."
"There is a real danger that this kind of association helps to embolden others to feel like they now have licence to act out on their hatred and on their ideologies," Mr. Gardee said.
Mr. Yussuf also condemned Mr. Scheer for sharing a stage with "racists and bigots" at a protest led by a convoy of pro-pipeline, anti-carbon-tax demonstrators in February. Former Rebel Media personality Faith Goldy also attended the rally on Parliament Hill, where she told Indigenous counterprotesters to leave Canada if they didn't like it.
Mr. Yussuf said Mr. Scheer should know better than to attend events with right-wing figures such as Ms. Goldy.
Opinion: Trudeau's politicization of the New Zealand terror attack puts Scheer on the spot
Scheer says he didn't hear reference to pizzagate conspiracy during Kitchener, Ont., event
Opinion: Can Andrew Scheer bring two sides of the Conservative voter base together?
A spokesman for Mr. Scheer said the Tory leader was "very clear and emphatic" in his condemnation of the anti-Muslim hatred that motivated the New Zealand mosque attacks.
"Further, in his speech to the House of Commons earlier this week, he called for action to defend a concept of Canada rooted in shared civic values, respect for the principle of universal human dignity and freedom of religion for all," said Brock Harrison, Mr. Scheer's spokesman.
The CLC and the NCCM shared their concerns at a media conference about the rise of Islamophobia in Canadian workplaces, where they released a new report on the matter.
The report cites a steady rise in hate crimes targeting Muslim communities in Canada over the past several years, fuelled by far-right politics at home and abroad. It makes several recommendations aimed at reinforcing the responsibility of employers to educate management and staff about legal obligations around human rights and religious accommodations for Muslims. It also calls on governments to do more to support anti-racism awareness campaigns and develop strategies to combat online hate speech.
"What we're talking about here is the everyday micro-aggressions that inform this fearful environment that many Canadian Muslims exist in and infiltrates every aspect of their daily life," said Leila Nasr, NCCM communications co-ordinator.
"I really hope that through this report, we can put some emphasis on those issues and begin to challenge those things as well, and not just wait for the next attack to happen and hope that it's not too bad."

Typically, the network infrastructure of the wireless communication system  100 also includes at least one Base Station 108, at least one Home Location Register ("HLR") 110, at least one Visitor Location Register ("VLR") 112, and at least one Authentication Center ("AuC") 114. The MSC 102 is the hub of the communication system and, primarily, controls calls to and from other telephone and data systems, such as for example a Public Switched Telephone Network ("PSTN") 116. The MSC 102 provides all the necessary functionality involved in registering, authenticating, location updating, and call routing for a subscriber. The HLR 110 is a database that includes subscriber information, such as the operation data about the subscriber's mobile station. The VLR 112 is a database, generally updated by the MSC 102, that includes certain subscriber information retrieved from the HLR 110. The VLR 112 retrieves this subscriber information from the HLR 110 when the subscriber is located within an area controlled by the VLR. The AuC 114 determines whether to validate each subscriber logging-on to the communication system. If the AuC 114 validates a subscriber, then the subscriber is allowed access to the network infrastructure.
As described in detail below, the GE server  104 is part of the network infrastructure and, thus, may be connected to a wireless network. The GE server 104 may serve as an HLR 110 and AuC 114 for the GE mobile station 106. Thus, for full functionality within the present service for aggregating network resources, the GE mobile station 106 would communicate and otherwise operate via the GE server 104.
Referring to FIG. 2, there is provided a state diagram representing various preferred operational states  200 of the GE mobile station 106. For the preferred embodiment, the GE mobile station 106 may have a power up/down state 202, a camping/idle state 204, and a conversation/traffic state 206. The GE mobile 106 transcends among these states 200 as tokens and registrations are assigned and released. For the power up/down state 202, the GE mobile station 106 transitions 208 to the camping/idle state when it sends a registration message to the GE server 104 upon power up, and the GE mobile station 106 transitions 210 power up/down state when it sends a de-registration message to the GE server 104 upon power down.
The GE mobile station  106 is considered to be in the camping/idle state 204 when it registers with the GE server 104 but is not communicating over a connection, i.e., the GE mobile station 106 is not "on a call". The GE mobile station 106 transitions 212 to the conversation/traffic state 206 after it successfully receives a token from the GE server 104 and accesses a traffic channel. The GE mobile station 106 transitions 210 to the power up/down state 202 after it de-registers with the GE server 104 and powers off.
The GE mobile station  106 is considered to be in the conversation/traffic state 206 when it has a token assigned to it by the GE server 104 and is accessing a traffic channel. The GE mobile station 106 transitions 214 to the camping/idle state 204 after it drops the traffic channel and releases the assigned token.
The GE mobile station  106 includes mobile station components that are commonly known in the art such as a processor, memory, a transceiver, a subscriber interface, a component interface, and a power supply that are interconnected for coordinated operation. For example, the subscriber interface may include an earpiece, a microphone, a display, a keypad, and the component interface may include a SIM ("Subscriber Identity Module") card receptacle and a headset plug. Also, the processor executes, and the memory stores, various operations of a mobile station. FIG. 3 focuses on the particular components and operations of the GE mobile station 106 that are of interest for the present invention.
Referring to FIG. 3, there is provided a block diagram representing certain internal components  300 of the GE mobile station 106. The internal components 300 of the GE mobile station 106 include a transceiver 302, a call processor 304, a GE client logic ("GE client") 306, and a GE mobile station services layer 308. The transceiver 302 provides the underlying radio access technology or technologies, such as GSM, TDMA, CDMA, UMTS, CDMA2000, WCDMA, and the like, for communicating with the network infrastructure. The call processor 304 includes the radio technology signaling stack for directing the transceiver to communicate with the network infrastructure using the same underlying radio access technology or technologies as the transceiver 302. For the preferred embodiment, the transceiver 302 is a modem and the call processor 304 is software that resides in memory and is executed by the processor of the GE mobile station 106.
The GE client  306 and the GE mobile station services layer 308 are important components of the GE mobile station 106 for operating within the present service for aggregating network resources. For the preferred embodiment, similar to the call processor 304, the GE client 306 and the GE mobile station services layer 308 are software residing in memory that are executed by the GE mobile station's processor. The GE client 306 provides basic logic for communication with the GE server 104. The GE mobile station services layer 308 includes various growth engine components that the GE mobile station 106 provides. These components include a call controller 310 that controls call origination functions, token request, and the like, as well as the user account manager 312 that allows for a subscriber to access account and usage information.
Similar to the GE mobile station  106, the GE server 104 includes server components that are commonly known in the art such as a processor, memory, and a network connection that are interconnected for coordinated operation. For example, the memory may include volatile and non-volatile memory, and the network connection may include circuitry for communicating with various types of wireless and wired elements of the wireless communication system 100. Like the GE mobile station 106, the processor and the memory are used to perform various operations of a server. FIG. 4 focuses on the particular components and operations of the GE server 104 that are of interest for the present invention.
Referring to FIG. 4, there is provided a block diagram representing certain internal components  400 of the GE server 104. The GE server 104 includes a data store 402 and software-based server 404. The data store 402 includes two types of data that serve as the central location for subscriber information and token management. A GE subscriber database 406 stores information that is used to identify each GE mobile station 106 and keep track of usage information for each GE mobile station 106. The GE subscriber database 406 may be accessed by the database management layer 408 of the GE server 104 for various purposes, such as during the registration proceeding of the GE mobile with the GE server 104 as described below in regard to FIG. 7.
The GE subscriber database  406 is used to track dynamic identifications and status of a subscriber. In addition, if subscribers may be identified by a personal identification number ("PIN") for termination calls, then the PIN for each subscriber may be tracked by the GE subscriber database 406. For the preferred embodiment, the GE subscriber database 406 includes an identification of the mobile station 106, an access number, and a PIN for each subscriber. The identification of the preferred embodiment is an identification number such as an Electronic Serial Number ("ESN") that is a permanent and unique number assigned to the GE mobile station 106 at the time of manufacture, or an International Mobile Subscriber Identity ("IMSI") that is a unique number within a SIM card that identifies the subscriber to the system. The access number of the preferred embodiment is a telephone number that a caller may use to access the GE server 104, and the PIN is provided by the caller to assist the GE server in identifying the called party. The GE subscriber database 406 may also store other types of information for each subscriber, such as account balance information, status information, and HLR information. Examples of status information include the state of each subscriber, namely power up/down state, camping/idle state, and conversation/traffic state, as described in reference to FIG. 2.
A token management database  410 stores information that is used to manage the status of a token and the usage of a particular token. The token management database 410 tracks any tokens that have not yet been allocated to a subscriber or have been released by a subscriber. For the preferred embodiment, the tokens are dialable numbers such as Mobile Identification Numbers ("MIN's") or Mobile Station ISDN's ("MSISDN's") that are available for use by a GE mobile station 106. When a particular GE mobile station 106 desires to transfer from a camping/idle state 204 to a conversation/traffic state 206, the GE server 104 must check the token management database 410 to determine whether any tokens are available for assignment to the particular GE mobile station 106.
Records of the GE subscriber database  406 and the token management database 410 are capable of being linked together so that, when a token is assigned to a GE mobile station 106, the identification of a particular GE mobile station by the GE subscriber database may be associated with a token of the token management database assigned to the GE mobile station. Records of the GE subscriber database 406 and the token management database 410 may be linked using various methods such as, but not limited to, including a pointer in a record of one database to reference a record in the other database, copying an assigned token to a field of the appropriate record of the GE subscriber database, copying a corresponding identification to a field of the appropriate record of the token management database, and the like.
The software-based server  404 of the GE server 104 includes components that manage the transactions with the data store and operate the functional logic of the GE server 104. These components include the database management layer 408, the transaction layer 416, the GE Logic layer 418, and the GE server services layer 420. The database management layer 408 provides access to the data store to the other layers 416, 418, 420 of the software-based server 404. The transaction management layer 416 manages the reliability of complete transactions with the data store 402. An example of such transactions includes, but is not limited to, recharging of minutes and the like. The GE Logic layer 418 provides the logic and signaling information to drive basic server functions and communication with the GE mobile station 106. Examples of such functions include, but are not limited to, obtaining a token, determining the remaining quantity of tokens, and the like.
The GE server services layer  420 provides services, typically all of the services, provided by the GE server 104. Preferably, the services include a GE-HLR 422, a GE-AuC 424, a GE user access 426, a GE server manager 428, a billing manager 430, a call controller 432, and a message manager 434. The GE-HLR 422 20 and the GE-AuC 424 generally perform functions similar to other Home Location Registers and Authentication Centers. The GE user access 426 permits a subscriber to perform various functions such as update minutes, provision a GE mobile station 106, access usage information, etc. The GE server manager 428 permits a network operator to add tokens, obtain server logs, obtain subscriber reports, etc. The billing manager 430 provides the billing functionality for the subscribers. The billing functionality includes, but is not limited to, decrementing functions, auditing functions, billing report generation, etc. The call controller 432 manages call routing and control functionality for incoming and outgoing calls. This functionality includes, but is not limited to, token assignment, locating a subscriber, rerouting incoming calls, call blocking, etc. The message manager 434 manages the delivery of incoming and outgoing messages, particularly messages of a short messaging system ("SMS").
Referring to FIG. 5, the billing manager  430 (shown in FIG. 4) provides auditing functions 500 unique to the present service for aggregating network resources. In particular, an auditing controller 502 of the billing manager 430 identifies, by access, billing reports 504 generated by a network operator's equipment and compares them to billing reports 506 generated by the GE server 104. Each report includes an identification for at least one token ("TokenID") 508, 510 and its corresponding network use, preferably minutes of use ("MOU") 512, 514. The audit of the auditing controller 502 is performed by comparing the network usage of a token provided by the network operator's billing report 504 against the network usage of the same token provided by the GE billing manager's report 506. If the two billing reports 504, 506 do not reconcile, then the auditing controller 502 determines that the subscriber or subscribers who utilized the token may be billed erroneously. Accordingly, the results of the comparison are reported to the network operator, particularly if the two billing reports 504, 506 do not reconcile. Therefore, the billing manager 430 is able to maximize the accuracy and integrity of token-based billing by the present service.
FIGS. 6 through 9 provide flow diagrams representing preferred operations of the wireless communication system  100. In particular, these flow diagrams represents preferred sequences of communication among the GE client logic ("GE client"), call processing and transceiver 302, 304 of the GE mobile station 106 ("GE-MS"), a Mobile Switching Center ("MSC 102"), and the GE server 104 ("GE-S"), as well as a Public Switched Telephone Network ("PSTN") 116.
Referring to FIG. 6, there is provided a flow diagram of a preferred provisioning proceeding  600 of the wireless communication system 100. The GE-S 104 detects an initiation of a provisioning proceeding. For the preferred embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, this detection occurs when the GE client 306 initiates 602 the provisioning proceeding 600 and sends a request provisioning signal 604 to the GE-S 104. The request provisioning signal 604 includes an identification of the mobile station 106 and an authentication key associated with the identification. For the preferred embodiment, the identification is one of an Electronic Serial Number ("ESN") and an International Mobile Subscriber Identity ("IMSI"). After the GE-S 104 receives the request provisioning signal 604, the GE-S assigns an access number and a personal identification number ("PIN") to the mobile station 106 and associates them with the identification of the mobile station. The GE-S 104, then, returns a provisioning information signal 606 to the GE client 306 that includes the identification, the access number and the PIN. The provisioning information signal 606 may also include other information available from the GE subscriber database 406, such as account balance information, status information, and HLR information. Thus, in response to receiving the provisioning information signal 606, the GE-MS 106 becomes provisioned 608.
Referring to FIG. 7, there is provided a flow diagram of a preferred operation of camping proceedings  700 of the wireless communication system 100. The GE-MS 106 may move-on to the camping proceedings 700 after the GE-MS 106 detects that it has been powered-up 702. Typically, a GE-MS 106 powers up when a subscriber activates a button of the GE-MS 106's subscriber interface. Upon detecting that the GE-MS 106 has been powered-up, the GE-MS 106 sends a GE client initialization signal 704 to the GE client 306.
In response to receiving the GE client initialization signal  704, the GE client 306 attempts to register with the GE-S 104. In particular, the GE client 306 sends a perform registration signal 706 to the GE-MS 106. The GE-MS 106, then, sends a registration message 708 to the MSC 102. In response to receiving the registration message 708, the MSC 102 sends a registration notification 710 to the GE-S 104. Once the GE-S 104 receives the registration notification 710, the GE-S determines whether the MS client 306 may be properly registered. For the preferred embodiment, the GE-S 104 extracts an identification from the received registration notification 710 corresponding to the identification. For example, the identification may be an Electronic Serial Number ("ESN") that is a permanent and unique number assigned to the GE-MS 106 at the time of manufacture, and an International Mobile Subscriber Identity ("IMSI") that is a unique number within a SIM card that identifies the subscriber to the wireless communication system 100. The GE client 306 may also include an address of the GE-S 104 with the perform registration signal 706 and, thus, the registration message 708 and registration notification 710, to assist the VLR directing communication to the GE-S. Next, the GE-S 104 determines whether the identification is valid by, for example, comparing it with known information in its GE subscriber database 406.
The result of the GE-S registration check is sent via a registration succeed signal  712 from the GE-S 104 to the MSC 102, a registration accept message 714 sent from the MSC 102 to the GE-MS 106, and a registration complete signal 716 forwarded to the GE client 306 by the GE-MS. If the result of the GE-S registration check is positive, then the GE client 306 will transfer 718 from a power up/down state 202 to a camping/idle state 204. Also, a registration acknowledgment is sent to the GE client 306 and the status is updated in the GE subscriber database 406 of the GE server 104. For the preferred embodiment, the identification is an ESN corresponding to the GE-MS 106 or an IMSI corresponding to a SIM card coupled to the GE-MS. On the other hand, if the result of the GE-S registration check is negative, then the GE client 306 should attempt to register with the GE-S 104 again (or lack communication capabilities), because the GE client 306 must achieve a camping/idle state 204 before it may move on to the conversation/traffic state 206.
The GE-MS  106 may move-on to origination proceedings or termination proceedings after it has achieved successful registration during the camping proceedings 700. The GE server 104 controls the dynamic allocation of tokens upon subscriber request. A subscriber request may be triggered when a call is placed to or from the GE-MS 106. The GE-MS 106 requests a call setup for the origination proceedings, and the GE server 104 requests a call setup for the termination proceedings.
During the transition from camping/idle state  204 to conversation/traffic state 206, the GE client is allocated tokens from an available pool of tokens. If tokens are available during this transition period, then the calling party will be connected with the called party and the call will be completed. If tokens are unavailable during this transition period, then the calling party will be notified that call can not be completed, and the call setup process will be aborted.
Referring to FIG. 8, there is provided a flow diagram of a preferred operation of origination proceedings  800 of the wireless communication system 100. The GE-MS 106 detects 802 when a call is originated by the GE-MS 106. Typically, a subscriber accesses a user interface of the GE-MS 106 to dial a number, such as one associated with a MIN or MSISDN, and presses a "SEND" key to initiate an origination attempt. After detecting 802 a call origination, the GE-MS 106 sends an origination signal 804 to the GE client 306. The GE client 306, then, sends a request for a token 806 to the GE-S 104. If a token is available, then the GE-S 104 will return a positive response via a token assignment signal 808 to the GE client 306. For the preferred embodiment, the GE-S 104 checks the token management database 410 to determine whether any tokens are available. If a token is assigned to the GE client 306, then the GE subscriber database 406 and/or the token management database 410 are updated to associate the assigned token with the corresponding GE-MS 106, and the call is placed. For the preferred embodiment, the GE subscriber database 406 is updated and linked to the token management database 410 so that the subscriber's identification is a dialable number such as a Mobile Identification Number ("MIN") or a Mobile Station ISDN ("MSISDN"). On the other hand, if a token is not available, then the GE-S 104 will return a negative response via the token assignment signal 808 to the GE client 306 and, thus, the GE client will remain in the camping/idle state 204 and the call will not be placed.
To place the call, the GE client  306 sends a perform origination signal 810 to the GE-MS 106, and the GE-MS sends an origination message 812 to the MSC 102. The MSC 102, in response, provides a traffic channel assignment 814 to the GE-MS 106. Thereafter, the MSC 102 sends a page 816 to the called party ("callee"), the called party answers 818 the call, and a connection is established 820 between the GE-MS 106 and the called party. The MSC 102 may reach the called party via the PSTN 116 or, if the called party participates in the network operator's network, then the MSC 102 may reach the called party at his or her mobile station without accessing the PSTN. If a traffic channel is not available or the called party does not answer the call, then the call will not be completed.
Subsequently, the GE-MS  106 or the MSC 102 detects 822 when a call is disconnected by the GE-MS or the called party, respectively. The GE-MS 106 may detect that a subscriber of the GE-MS 106 pressed an "END" key to terminate the call, or the MSC 102 may detect that the called party is no longer connected to the call.
In a situation where the GE-MS  106 detects 822 termination of the call, the GE-MS 106 sends a call release message 824 to the GE client. In response, the GE client 306 sends a perform release signal 826 to the GE-MS 106, and the GE-MS sends a similar release message 828 to the MSC 102. The MSC 102 then terminates 830 the connection between the GE-MS 106 and the called party. During or after the discontinuation of the call, the token is no longer assigned to the GE client 306 and returned to the available pool. In particular, the GE client 306 sends a token release signal 832 to the GE-S 104, and the GE-S returns an acknowledging token release response 834 to the GE client. Also, the token management database 410 and/or GE subscriber database 406 of the GE-S 104 are updated accordingly.
FIG. 8 represents a scenario in which the GE-MS  106 detects termination of the call via subscriber input at the GE-MS, but it is to be understood that the present service for aggregating network resources is equally applicable to scenarios in which the GE-MS 106 detects termination of the call from other sources. For example, the GE-MS 106 may receive a termination signal from another component of the network infrastructure, such as the MSC 102. In such case, the origination proceedings 800 would still operate similarly to the procedure described above and shown in FIG. 8. Also, similar to the situation above, the token is no longer assigned to the GE client and returned to the available pool during or after the discontinuation of the call.
Referring to FIG. 9, there is provided a flow diagram of a preferred operation of termination proceedings  900 of the wireless communication system 100. The GE-S 104 detects when a call is directed 902 from a calling party to the GE-MS 106. The calling party may contact the GE-S 104 via the MSC 102 if the calling party is utilizing the network infrastructure of the wireless communication system 100. If the calling party is not utilizing the network infrastructure, then the calling party may contact the GE-S via the PSTN 116.
In addition, the calling party may contact the GE-MS  106 via a two stage dialing process or a specially-assigned dialing number. For the preferred embodiment, calls to subscribers of the present service are completed via a two stage dialing process. The calling party dials a common access number, receives a prompt to enter a personal identification number ("PIN"), and then enters the appropriate PIN to reach the intended subscriber. As shown in FIG. 9, the GE-S 104 receives an incoming call 904 (from, for example, the PSTN), sends a PIN request signal to the calling party 906, and waits for a response to request 908. When the GE-S 104 receives the requested PIN of the intended subscriber, the GE-S may lookup the PIN in the GE subscriber database 406 to find the corresponding identification of the subscriber. This solution allows the GE-S 104 to map subscribers without a special, dedicated mobile station identification. In the alternative, each subscriber may have a specially-assigned dialing number that the GE-S may lookup in the GE subscriber database 406 to find the corresponding identification of the intended subscriber.
The GE-S  104, then, determines whether a token is available for assignment to the GE client 306. For the preferred embodiment, the GE-S 104 checks the token management database 410 to determine whether any tokens are available. If a token is available, then the GE-S 104 will proceed with the assignment and send a token assignment signal 910 to the GE client 306. The GE-S 104 also updates the GE subscriber database 406 and/or token management database 410 to associate the assigned token with the corresponding GE-MS 106. For the preferred embodiment, the GE subscriber database 406 is updated and linked to the token management database 410 so that the subscriber's identification is associated with a dialable number such as a Mobile Identification Number ("MIN") or a Mobile Station ISDN ("MSISDN"). The GE client 306, in response, returns a token acknowledgment signal 912 to the GE-S 104. On the other hand, if a token is not available, then the GE-S 104 will notify the calling party that the call cannot be completed, and the GE client 306 will remain in the camping/idle state 204.
After a token is assigned to the GE-MS  106, the GE-S 104 sends a call routed signal 914 to the MSC 102, and the MSC 102 sends a page message 916 to the GE-MS. The GE-MS 106, in response, returns a page response message 918 to the MSC 102 acknowledging receipt of the page message 916. The MSC 102 provides a traffic channel assignment 920 to the GE-MS 106. Next, the GE-MS 106 makes 922 a connection to the calling party via the MSC 102 to connect the call. The calling party may reach the MSC 102 via the PSTN 116 or, if the calling party participates in the network operator's network, then the calling party may reach the MSC 102 at the calling party's mobile station without accessing the PSTN. If a traffic channel is not available, then the call will not be completed.
The remaining operations of the termination proceedings  900 are similar to the operations of the origination proceedings 800, described above. In particular, the GE-MS 106, directly or indirectly, detects when a call is disconnected by the GE-MS or the called party, respectively. In response to detecting 924 termination of the call, the GE-MS 106 sends a call release message 926 to the GE client 306, the GE client sends a perform release signal 928 to the GE-MS, and the GE-MS sends a similar release message 930 to the MSC 102. The MSC 102 then terminates 932 the connection between the GE-MS 106 and the called party. Thereafter, the GE client 306 sends a token release signal 934 to the GE-S 104, and the GE-S returns an acknowledging token release response 936 to the GE client 306. Also, the GE subscriber database 406 and/or token management database 410 of the GE-S 104 are updated accordingly.

Swiss • 1775
Established in 1775 by Abraham Louis Breguet, widely considered the greatest watchmaker of all time, the storied brand continues to thrive in the modern era, creating exceptional high-end watches as the Swatch Group's premier prestige brand. Some of the most important and lasting inventions in watchmaking are attributed to Abraham Louis Breguet, including the tourbillon, shock resistance and the use of hammers and gongs employed in nearly all minute repeating watches made since.
Eighteenth and nineteenth century Breguet pocketwatches are especially sought-after by collectors, and many of them were made for the elite of European society, including Napoléon and Marie Antoinette. Key wristwatches from the twentieth century include oversized dress watches, two-register chronographs, triple calendars and Type XX aviator's chronographs made for the French military and civilians.

Do I have the right type?
it take before I get my money?
How long does it pay for?
What would happen if you couldn't work for 6 months or more?
Your greatest asset is not your house; it's you... or more specifically, your ability to earn an income.
Income Protection insurance provides you with a monthly benefit if you are unable to work due to sickness or injury, including mental illnesses such as depression.
work for any length of time. Income Protection gives you a steady stream of income if you're unable to work due to sickness or injury.
Is Income Protection different from Redundancy Protection?
Yes. Income protection covers you if you can't work due to accident or injury. Redundancy covers you if you get made redundant only. This is a separate benefit that is underwritten independently of income protection.
income protection covers non-accidental reasons for being off work, such as stress (the biggest cause of people needing time off).
Isn't my income protected by my other policies–life, medical, disability and trauma?
These are specific policies that may share some features with income protection—particularly total and permanent disability or trauma insurance. If you rely on other insurance policies to cover you, you may find that something like a severe illness that knocks you out of the workforce for six months isn't covered. Similarly, trauma insurance generally only covers physical trauma. Considering how frequent mental health claims are (they are our most common claim by far), you could be left high and dry if your high-stress job proved to be too much and you had to drop out of the workforce.
As my fall was an accident, I was able to get some compensation from ACC. However, the benefit received from ACC only covers a fraction of your normal salary. Thankfully, my income protection kicked in. I'd hate to think where I'd be now if I'd never taken out that income protection policy.
What's the best income protection for self-employed workers?
The fact that you cannot opt out of ACC is a common bugbear among the self-employed. So at first glance, paying for both ACC and private income protection insurance can seem like you're paying for injury cover twice. As mentioned earlier, ACC covers accidental injury only. Income protection, on the other hand, covers illness—both physical (e.g. cancer) and mental (e.g. depression)—overuse injuries, and accidents.
The good news is that there are two ways to make your cover more cost effective: utilising ACC Cover Plus Extra and leveraging your mortgage.
Do I have the right type of Income Protection?
The difference between agreed value and indemnity cover is the amount of certainty at claim time.
Agreed Value policies require you to prove your income when you apply (usually an average income over 2 or 3 years - helpful with you are self-employed and your income fluctuates).
Indemnity policies require you to prove your income at claim time (which isn't always easy).
We recommend products that provide certainty at claim time - so you get what you are paying for. Where possible, we recommend Agreed Value policies.
This isn't really the question you should be asking. It's better to ask how much you can afford to lose if you were sick or injured. Despite that, we know the reality is that ongoing premium costs are a big factor in your insurance choices. To help you get an idea of your costs, we've put together a few of the factors that your insurance provider will consider.
If you have an indemnity value Income protection insurance policy the premiums are tax deductible as part of your personal income tax return. However, if you choose to do this then it is important to be aware that in the event you make a claim on your income protection policy, then the proceeds of the claim will be treated as taxable income.
If you have an agreed value income protection insurance policy your premiums aren't tax deductible, the good news with this type of policy is that this means that your benefits are taxable at claim time. It also often means that your sum assured is lower (as the percentage of income you cover is calculated differently and this can mean that your premium can be lower than an indemnity income protection policy.
Most insurance companies pay their income protection policies in advance. For example, if you have a one-month stand down and are off work for a month, your policy will begin paying at the end of one month. Others pay in arrears, so if you have a one-month stand down period and you're off work for a month, you won't receive your payment until you have been off work for two months.

Colton Underwood's season of The Bachelor was full of twists and turns fans of the show never saw coming. While we know Colton and Cassie Randolph ended up together at the end and are still happily in love now, many of the contestants on the show were totally blindsided when Colton asked them to leave. Unfortunately for fan-favorite Hannah Brown, she was one of them.
Hannah B.'s mission for finding love isn't over yet, though. While she was heartbroken when Colton asked her to go home after she met his family, she's made it clear she's ready to be the next Bachelorette. Unfortunately, it seems a former Bachelor thinks Hannah might not be as prepared as she thinks she is. Here's what was said.
We know Hannah B. best for being totally herself on Colton's season. She was crowned Miss Alabama in the recent past, and at just 24 years old, she stands as the youngest Bachelorette contestant to date. As endearing and awkward as she may be, she's proving she wants others to take her seriously with her most recent promotional video, however.
As Vulture recounts, the video shows Hannah shedding her beauty queen layers — like her crown, sash, and dress — as she leaves rose petals in her wake. The final message in the promo says everything we need to know about Hannah, too. "Think you know her? Think again," it reads. While Hannah shared her Alabama roots and beauty queen past with viewers on The Bachelor, it looks like we'll be seeing an entirely different side of her during her season as the star — and we can't wait.
Even at such a young age, it seems Hannah knows what she wants and is ready for marriage — but she certainly has a few skeptics, too. Former Bachelorette contestant and Bachelor Ben Higgins has openly expressed how he feels about Hannah being the next lead for the show. At first, Us Weekly reports Ben wasn't a huge fan of Hannah as the star — but he's since gotten used to the idea. Even so, he doesn't necessarily think she's prepared for everything the experience will bring to the table.
As he told Us Weekly, "This is a little intimidating for her. It's a little scary, it's a little wild and she isn't prepped for it. Like, I don't think she expected to be the Bachelorette, nor did she desire to be the Bachelorette after her season." Ben also added that as long as Hannah is "unapologetically herself," she'll find the right man for her. "[I hope] she doesn't try to become too much of the model of a Bachelorette and just stays true to herself," he added.
Despite Ben Higgins having some reservations regarding Hannah stepping up to the plate as The Bachelorette, Hannah knows she's prepared to find lasting love — and she's already made it clear what kind of man she's looking for. People reports while Hannah was visiting The Ellen DeGeneres Show, she explained, "I think the reason I am here is because I am real, I showed every part of myself." Hannah also mentioned that on her upcoming season, she's going to show all aspects of herself to the men — the good and the bad — as she wants a relationship that's totally authentic.
As for the type of man she wants, Hannah admits she'll be attracted to someone good-looking and good-hearted, but beyond that, she's totally open. Most importantly, she's ready for engagement, too. "I know I'm young but I would not have gone on this show if I hadn't really thought about what is at the end of this," she said on Ellen.

Башкирска стрелица је артефакт - фигура стреле на торњу цркве Светог Лаврентија у граду Шварца, држава Тирингија (Немачка).

У пролеће 1814. године, након завршетка Наполеонових ратова, башкирски војници, као део руске војске, врачали су се преко Немачке у Руску Империју Дана 14. априла 1814. године, на позив принца Карла Гунтера (сина царског принца Фридриха Гунтера I), Башкири су се зауставили у селу Шварца.

Према легенди, Карл Гинтер је сумњао у борбену способност башкирског лука, изазовно је предложио Башкирима да направе показни хитац, показујући руком према цркви Светог Лаврентија. Башкирци су прихватили изазов и погодили врх торња - директно у малу металну јабуку.

Оригинална стрелица се није очувала - дрвена осовина се временом осушила и ивер се распао, али је касније у Шварцу постављена метална копија. Касније је дршка стреле зарђала и испала је из јабуке, али је дршка сачувана у архиви цркве. Током посете башкирског писатеља и истраживаћа Јанибеја Хаматова (1925—2000), који је писао историјски роман о походу руске армије 1813-1814 (Төньяҡ амурҙары), Башкирска стрела је постављена на првобитно место   .

Године 2013. на цркви Светог Лavrentija у граду Шварцa у Тирингији постављена је спомен-плоча на немачком и башкирском језику, а бакарна јабука на торњу цркве и сама стрела прекривене су златним листићима.

Chiwetel Ejiofor as Peabody seem to always be cutting her slack, and are never quite convinced that she is a double agent. Director Philip Noyce succeeds in providing the backdrop to this action thriller and screenwriter Kurt Wimmer has written some believable dialogue. Watching Jolie escape the bad guys which are both American and Russian is an exhilarating roller coaster ride, and her bag of tricks includes knowing something about spiders, being a master of disguise, and being able to get herself out of the most amazing situations with the acumen of Her Majesty's Secret Service. Alas we are back again to the days where the Russians and Americans are trigger happy and the Presidents are ready to push the panic button and launch nuclear weapons. All the usual cold war suspects are on hand, including a league of young children raised by Russian agents and stationed in America to seek retaliation. Is SALT one of them? Nothing is predictable in this film, which is bound to have sequels, and that is great for Jolie.
Some questions come to mind -- why are the parameters pushed back to the post second world war political climate. And what is it with this German anachronologist? Will we get to know more about how are spiders will be used in warfare? Phillip Noyce after all did to a series of films on where Harrison Ford played US Naval Academy and PhD Jack Ryan until he was too old, followed by Ben Affleck.
