Khashoggi in Saudi Embassy.
Every little detail of this story was obvious since day one, just the chopped body is missing. Reason why it takes this long to get the truth out on media is merely due to the US protecting the Saudis, taking further advantage from…
For a single person with no dependents the poverty line is 2.2k, for a couple with 2 children it is 4.05k, therefore, 4k as a single person is not low, for many people, that supports a family. It might not be in a high tax bracket, but…

"The results also show large disparities across Switzerland. The canton of Basel City appears as most affected by far, with an average of 17 hospitalisations per 1,000…
The payment is controlled by the canton, maybe not all cantn's have the new machines, i did a license about 8 moths ago, took 20 minutes from entering the building in Blecherette (VD) to leaving with a new license.
Simple way to find the forum-id - click the "New Thread" button, and it's the number after the f= in the URL.

It may be less than optimal if the screw bores into the wood (perhaps not enough grip and risk of spliting the pole). Something along this design (perhaps with a very different look) where two metal parts of the Möbelfuss are essentially…

Indeed. Check this for updates.

When an airline damaged one of my Rimowas it took 4 months before I got it back, as these days they have to be sent to Belgium for aome reason. It's put me off getting another apart from hand luggage.

Einsiedeln is a nice little town with an easy commute down to Pfäffikon. Taxes higher than Feienbach but still much lower than anywhere in Zurich.
