Amund Olson Ringsrud (* 13. September 1854 in Segalstad, Norwegen; † 8. Januar 1931 in Elk Point, South Dakota, Vereinigte Staaten) war ein US-amerikanischer Kaufmann, Geschäftsmann und Politiker.

Werdegang
Amund Olson Ringsrud, Sohn von Ole O. Ringsrud († 1876) und seiner Ehefrau Karen (1822–1914), geborene Amundson, wurde während der Regierungszeit des schwedischen Königs Oskar I. in Norwegen geboren, welches damals eine Union mit Schweden bildete. Er hatte drei Geschwister. Über seine Kindheit ist nichts bekannt. Die Familie Ringsrud wanderte 1867 in die Vereinigten Staaten aus. Sie zog in das damalige Dakota-Territorium und ließ sich im Union County nieder. Ein Großteil des Landes war zu jener Zeit noch im Besitz der Regierung. Ole O. Ringsrud besaß 160 Acres Land im Brule Township, wo seine Familie der Landwirtschaft nachging. Die Familie gehörte der evangelisch-lutherischen Kirche an.

Nachdem die Familie in das Dakota-Territorium zog, besuchte Ringsrud dort eine kurze Zeit lang die öffentliche Schule. Danach arbeitete er auf der Farm seines Vaters bis zu seinem sechzehnten Lebensjahr. Zu jener Zeit entschied er sich eine Laufbahn als Kaufmann einzuschlagen. Daher trat er eine Anstellung in einer Schreiberstelle eines Gemischtwarenladens in Elk Point an, dem Verwaltungssitz vom Union County. Dort war er achteinhalb Jahre tätig. In dieser Zeit erwarb er umfassende, praktische Kenntnisse, welche die Grundlage für seinen späteren Erfolg wurden.

1876 heiratete er Miss Emma F. Snyder aus New Hampton (Iowa). Das Paar hatte zwei Töchter und einen Sohn: Grave Ellen, Sella May und Alfred H.

Ringsrud betätigte sich aktiv auf der politischen Bühne. Infolge seiner Fähigkeiten wählten ihn seine Mitbürger 1878 zum Registrar of Deeds vom Union County. Ringsrud wurde zweimal in Folge wiedergewählt und bekleidete den Posten sechs Jahre lang. Danach wurde er zum County Treasurer vom Union County gewählt. Er wurde einmal wiedergewählt und bekleidete den Posten vier Jahre lang. 1889 wurde er zum Secretary of State des neu gegründeten Bundesstaates South Dakota gewählt. Ringsrud war die erste Person, welche den Posten bekleidete. Er wurde einmal wiedergewählt und bekleidete den Posten vier Jahre lang.

Im Jahr 1885 gründete er in Elk Point ein Handelsunternehmen, welches er 1896 unter dem Namen Ringsrud Mercantile Company handelsgerichtlich eintrug. Die Wirtschaftskrise von 1893 überschattete die letzten Jahre.

Ringsrud kandidierte 1896 als Republikaner für den Posten des Gouverneurs von South Dakota. Bei den Wahlen erlitt er eine Niederlage gegenüber seinem Herausforderer Andrew E. Lee von der Populist Party. Der Stimmenabstand zwischen beiden Kandidaten betrug nur 319 Stimmen. Danach vertrat er seinen County als ein Committeeman von der Republikanischen Partei.

In der Folgezeit widmete er den Großteil seiner Zeit seinen wachsenden kommerziellen Interessen. Ringsrud führte ein sehr großes und sorgfältig ausgewähltes Warensortiment, um die vielfältigen Bedürfnisse seiner Kunden zu bedienen. Daneben saß er im Verwaltungsrat der Union County Bank.

Ringsrud nahm im Jahr 1912 als Ersatzmann und in den Jahren 1916, 1924 und 1928 als Delegierter an den Republican National Conventions von South Dakota teil. Dabei saß er 1924 und 1928 jeweils im Credentials Committee. Bei den Präsidentschaftswahlen des Jahres 1920 war er republikanischer Wahlmann in South Dakota.

Er war eine Führungspersönlichkeit in den Freimaurerkreisen. In diesem Zusammenhang war er Mitglied in der Elk Point Lodge Nr. 3 (Free and Accepted Masons), Vermillion Chapter Nr. 21 (Royal Arch Masonry), De Molay Commandery (Knight Templar) aus Yankton, Oriental Consistory Nr. 1 (Ancient & Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry) aus Yankton und El Riad Temple (Ancient Arabic Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine) aus Sioux Falls. Daneben war er ein aktives Mitglied und Präsident vom Elk Point Commercial Club.

Infineon sets yet another new trend: Lowest-cost mobile phone platform for Internet-based telephony
Mar 17, 2008 | Business & Financial Press
Neubiberg, Germany, March 17, 2008 – For three years now, Infineon has been marketing low-cost mobile phone chips that have given new swathes of customers around the globe the chance to use phones for the first time. These innovative chips pack all the key functions onto a tiny piece of silicon. More than 50 million units had been sold by the end of last year, allowing users to make phone calls within GSM mobile networks. The problem was that call charges varied considerably depending on the country and provider. Today, Internet-based telephony (Voice over IP) is much cheaper. Up to now, however, the sophisticated technology needed for this application was only available on expensive high-end phones known as smart phones. In collaboration with Atheros, the American wireless and wireline broadband technology specialist, Infineon has therefore developed a chip platform that for the first time gives users the best of both worlds. The low-cost chip from Infineon takes care of all telephony functions in the GSM network, while the Atheros chip kicks in when data packets are used via a wireless LAN (hotspot or WiFi) for voice or data traffic over the Internet. Better still, the whole package is available at an attractive flat rate.
"The combination of our GSM chip and the wireless LAN chip from Atheros gives even more people the chance to enjoy low-cost communication," says Dominik Bilo, Senior Vice President Sales and Group Marketing at Infineon's Communication Solutions Division. "For the foreseeable future, broadband landline networks will not deliver full coverage in emerging countries such as India, China and parts of South America. By comparison, a wireless LAN and a couple of hotspots or a wireless IP cell for a small village can be set up relatively quickly and inexpensively. Billions of people can then plug into the world of unlimited communication."
Independent market researchers see significant growth opportunities for the combination of GSM and VoIP technology in mobile phones. Some 186 million units are slated to be sold this year alone, and forecasts put the figure for 2010 at 250 million units.
Infineon's contribution to the new GSM/VoIP phones is its X-GOLD™101 single chip, which packs the core functions of a mobile phone – voice processing, radio frequency management, power management, memory and so one – into a footprint of just 8 mm x 8 mm. Atheros adds its 10 mm x 10 mm ROCm™ (radio-on-chip for mobile) chip. This chip too is optimized to deliver maximum functionality while minimizing power consumption. Compared to conventional solutions, Atheros halves the number of components needed for innovative wireless VoIP communication.
Infineon will be taking the wraps off its new mobile communication platform at the VON.x trade show in San Jose (March 17-20, 2008). Initial products will be available to customers as early as the second quarter of this year.

A human arm bone has been uncovered during an archaeological excavation of Neolithic buildings at Ness of Brodgar on Orkney.
Archaeologists believe the bone was deliberately placed and could possibly be the remains of a respected original founder of the large complex.
They added that there could be more bones still to be found.
The University of the Highlands and Islands Archaeology Institute is leading the dig.
Site director Nick Card said the bone was an important and exciting find.
He said there were several theories as to who the arm may have belonged to, including the possibility that it was the remains of an original founder of the site.
But he added that the ideas would need to be backed by scientific fact.
Archaeologists have been carrying out excavations of the complex of buildings at Ness of Brodgar, the location of the Ring of Brodgar standing stones, since 2002.
Since 2002, Neolithic buildings, artwork, pottery, animal bones and stone tools have been discovered.
Six years ago, archaeologists found proof that Neolithic people were using paint to decorate their buildings as well as using stone as roofing material.
Radiocarbon dates from parts of the site suggest the complex was in use for about 1,000 years from at least 3200BC to 2300BC.
The University of the Highlands and Islands is also involved in another dig on Orkney.
Excavations at The Cairns on South Ronaldsay involve an Iron Age broch.
Human remains have also been found at this site, as well as 2,000-year-old fossilised animal dung.

Q: Unable to add fields to Redis index schema. Error: Cannot add more fields I have an index created on Redis using FT.CREATE command. Now I want to add few more fields to the index. But I am getting the error below.
Cannot add more fields. Declare index with wide fields to allow adding unlimited fields

I have used the FT.ALTER <index name> add <field name> TEXT command.
Any help in understanding why I am not allowed to create attributes even though there is a limit of 1024 attribute limit on a schema is appreciated.

A: In order to be able to add up to a total of more than 32 fields, add to the index creation the option MAXTEXTFIELDS. See FT.ALTER documentation

Welcome to Holly's Nursery at Victorian Gardens Cattery. In Holly's Nursery, we feature her new Persian and Himalayan litter, including their photos, videos, parents, and pedigrees. You will find all the latest news about her babies and their growth on "Our Cattery Blog". We usually are blogging several times a week during our kitten season.
Holly's very rare Lilac Cream Persian is now 4 weeks old. She is our Cattery's first Lilac Cream Persian. I just LOVE her coloring. She could be a Lilac Calico since her paws are white, along with her bib and small triangle on the face. CFA will hopefully help me with the determination of her color. She is a cutie pie no matter which color. She also is a character and so very smart. She self potty trained and weaned to dry food all on her own.
Holly's rare girl was born November 1, 2018. She is either a rare Lilac Cream Persian or a very rare Lilac Calico Persian. We will be able to tell more as she develops her thicker coat. Holly is being a very good mom and pretty much just stays laying down and letting her nurse as often as she likes. Holly is known for hugging her babies and this girl is getting lots of hugs from her mommy. At this point in time, she appears to be a doll face Persian. You can view more pictures and videos of this girl once we create Holly's Nursery 2018.
