Hines, a Houston developer, built the TeleCheck Plaza and 5333 Westheimer buildings around the late 1970s and early 1980s. JP Morgan Fleming had owned the complex since 1989.

Nancy Sarnoff of the Houston Business Journal said that an industry source told her that the complex was purchased for $36.2 million. |

Between November 1988 and September 1990 the building became a part of the real estate portfolio of VeriQuest Real Estate Services Inc. VeriQuest considered razing the existing 5251 Westheimer building and constructing a office tower in its place. Instead the company decided to renovate the existing building and lease areas to tenants. |

In 2003, while Yari's company acquired the complex in 2003, the lease of the main tenant company, TeleCheck, was expiring within several years; the lease was scheduled to expire in phases over a three-year period. The company occupied of space in the complex, and much of the space was used for a call center. As of that year TeleCheck paid rents $4 to $5 per square foot that were lower than the market rate. If the company left, the space would have gone vacant, and retrofitting and renovating the space would have cost the company a lot of money. Since the lease was scheduled to expire in phases, Yari's company had flexibility in possibly filling the space in case the company left. The lease was scheduled to begin expiring in January 2005. As of 2003 the TeleCheck Plaza building had a 95% occupancy rate. |

Aero Geral Ltda was founded in 1941 in the Amazon region and started flying with a single Monocoupe 90A in February 1942. However, due to technical difficulties, it was grounded in 1944 and became operational again only in January 1947. In 1947, Edgar James McLaren, a former pilot of Panair do Brasil planned to start regular services in the Amazon region using amphibian aircraft. McLaren hoped to replace Panair, should the airline decide to end its services on the region, which did not happen. |

McLaren found new business associates Custódio Netto Junior, also former pilot of Panair do Brasil, and Joaquim Fontes former station manager of Cruzeiro do Sul in Natal, and together they re-created the airline. Aero Geral was then authorized to operate regular flights between Natal and Santos along the coast. Services started in March 1947 using four amphibian Catalinas. In the following years a Curtiss C-46 Commando and two Douglas DC-3 were added to the fleet. |

On February 29, 1952 Aero Geral was sold to Varig. Varig thus greatly enlarged its operations in Brazil, extending services beyond Rio de Janeiro until Natal and could better face competition with Panair do Brasil and Cruzeiro do Sul. |

In addition to his duties with the Daily Mail, he wrote four books chronicling his experiences in India, Nepal and the Middle East. He is best known for the most famous of his exploits, when, as portrayed in his book The Innocent on Everest, he set out on his own, without a compass or map, to pursue John Hunt's 1953 Everest expedition to its base camp at 18,000 ft. |
27336004_0_3 | 27336004 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ralph%20Izzard | Ralph Izzard | Ralph Izzard.
During World War II, Izzard served with distinction as an officer with British Naval Intelligence and 30 Assault Unit. He received several awards and was appointed an OBE. His tour of duty took place under the command of Ian Fleming, who based elements of his first novel Casino Royale and its protagonist James Bond on Lieutenant Commander Izzard and a card game in which he found himself playing poker against covert Nazi intelligence agents at a casino in Pernambuco, Brazil. |
27336004_0_4 | 27336004 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ralph%20Izzard | Ralph Izzard | Ralph Izzard. Early life
Born in Billericay, Essex on 27 August 1910 to Percy and Florence Burdick Izzard, Ralph Izzard was the youngest of the couple's two children. His sister, Floris, was born in 1907. His father, Percy Izzard, was the Daily Mail's highly respected gardening correspondent (claimed by Ralph to have been the inspiration of William Boot in the Evelyn Waugh novel Scoop). |
27336004_0_5 | 27336004 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ralph%20Izzard | Ralph Izzard | Ralph Izzard.
In 1919, Izzard entered Caldicott School, a preparatory school for boys near London, where he remained enrolled until 1924. Then, aged 13, he entered The Leys School, where, in addition to his studies, he played water-polo. In 1928, his term at The Leys School being complete, he went on to Queens' College, Cambridge and graduated in 1931. That same year he joined the staff at the Daily Mail. |

After graduation from Cambridge, Izzard was appointed as foreign correspondent for the Daily Mail. His first post was Berlin where he was appointed and remained bureau chief for a number of years during the cold war. Afterwards Izzard stayed on as a foreign correspondent for 31 years. It has been speculated that in addition to performing his actual duties with the Daily Mail, Izzard used the position as a cover while engaged in intelligence operations for MI6. |

At the onset of World War II, Izzard joined the Royal Navy Volunteer Reserves as an Ordinary Seaman, and qualified as a gunner but was soon commissioned a Sub-Lieutenant, eventually ascending to the rank of Lieutenant Commander in a position with British Naval Intelligence. He served with distinction, being Mentioned in Despatches and appointed OBE. |
27336004_2_1 | 27336004 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ralph%20Izzard | Ralph Izzard | Ralph Izzard. British Intelligence, 30 AU, MI9, MI19
Ralph Izzard was recruited to the Naval Intelligence Division and 30 Assault Unit by Ian Fleming due, in some measure, to his ability to speak fluent German, as well as his expert knowledge of Berlin and its society. His duties included the interrogation of captured German combatants, intelligence collection in the battlespace, and espionage. The British Admiralty operated an interrogation center known as the "CSDIC" (Combined Services Detailed Interrogation Centre) at Cockfosters Camp for the joint use of the Royal Navy, the R.A.F., and the British Army. Izzard regularly participated in the questioning of PoWs and provided detailed reports to his superiors regarding intelligence obtained as a result of interrogation. A number of his reports and letters were forwarded to and read by Winston Churchill. |
27336004_2_2 | 27336004 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ralph%20Izzard | Ralph Izzard | Ralph Izzard. World War II
Prior to its entry into World War II, the United States Navy sent an intelligence officer to Great Britain to observe the interrogation of German PoWs, for which the Royal Navy provided a liaison officer: (then) LT Ralph Izzard, (RNVR). Izzard trained the initial cadre of U.S. Navy PoW interrogators and was further tasked with traveling to the United States in order to instruct operatives in the disciplines of cryptanalysis, interrogation, and intelligence dissemination. He was instrumental in establishing Op-16-Z, a section of the U.S. Office of Naval Intelligence, which dealt with the processing of enemy prisoners. Subsequently, British protocol for prisoner debriefing was adopted by the U.S. Armed Forces, and the Joint Interrogation Center for Prisoners of War was established in 1941. |
27336004_2_3 | 27336004 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ralph%20Izzard | Ralph Izzard | Ralph Izzard. World War II
Izzard also participated in the creation of a plan (code named Operation Ruthless), the objective of which was to obtain German Naval Enigma documentation to aid British Intelligence in the decryption of secret German communications. The plan consisted of crashing a captured German aeroplane into the English Channel where the British crew, dressed in Luftwaffe uniforms, would be rescued by a German patrol boat. The "survivors" would then kill the German crew, hijack the ship, and confiscate the secret Enigma documents. Much to the annoyance of codebreakers at Bletchley Park, the operation was scrapped. In a BBC Radio 4 program called The Bond Correspondence broadcast on 24 May 2008, Lucy Fleming, the niece of Ian Fleming, stated that the plan was cancelled because the Royal Air Force concluded that a downed Heinkel bomber dropped into the English Channel would sink rather than float, posing too great a danger to the lives of British operatives. |

Izzard took interest in cryptozoology, a pseudoscience. In 1945, Izzard accompanied by naturalist C. R. Stonor took a pseudo-scientific expedition to the Silo (Ziro) Valley of Arunachal Pradesh to search for evidence for the Buru, a legendary lizard creature. Izzard published a book, The Hunt for the Buru which presented the results of the expedition. Izzard concluded that extant saurians, seemingly dinosaurs (four metres in length) had existed in the valley until as recent as 1940. This view was rejected by scientists as dinosaurs went extinct approximately 66 million years ago. |

The pictured rove beetle (Thinopinus pictus) is a wingless rove beetle which lives on the sandy beaches of the West Coast of the United States from southern Alaska to Baja California. It is nocturnal, emerging at night from temporary sand burrows to feed on beach hoppers (Orchestoidea). |
27336116_0_1 | 27336116 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pictured%20rove%20beetle | Pictured rove beetle | Pictured rove beetle. Identification
Like other rove beetles, T. pictus has shortened elytra, so that most of its abdomen is exposed. Males average , females average . Males possess a cleft in the last abdominal sternite, which makes them readily discernible from females. Their cryptic coloration varies geographically in response to lighter colored sand in the southern part of their range. Populations north of central California tend to be darker in response to the dark volcanic sand, while those in the southern range are quite pale. Because of this variation, T. pictus was once thought to be made up of two subspecies. |
27336116_0_2 | 27336116 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pictured%20rove%20beetle | Pictured rove beetle | Pictured rove beetle. Ecology
T. pictus inhabits the sandy intertidal zone; during the day, they hide in temporary sand burrows or under kelp and beach debris with a preference to inhabit the wettest and softest sand available. At night they emerge and move to the high tide level to find prey. Individuals switch between inactive ambush predation and active foraging for their prey, which consists mostly of beach hoppers (Amphipoda). They have also been observed eating beach flies, isopods, and other T. pictus. Males seem to feed less than females, but are more active than females, possibly to increase the chance of finding a mate. |
27336116_0_3 | 27336116 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pictured%20rove%20beetle | Pictured rove beetle | Pictured rove beetle. Reproduction
The breeding season is thought to be from August to October. Dissected females have been shown to carry only 2–3 eggs, which are oviposited singly in the sand. These beetles likely have long lifespans in order to reproduce sufficiently. In the laboratory, eggs hatch at about 14 days. Larvae are whitish with black markings. The duration of their instars is unknown. |

The social security system (Spanish: seguridad social) in Spain is its principal system of social protection. The concept of social security first appeared in Spain in 1883 under the Committee for Social Reform, it was expanded several times during the twentieth century and finally the right to social security was enshrined in the Spanish Constitution of 1978 under Article 41 which states "that the public authorities shall maintain a public social security system for all citizens, guaranteeing sufficient support and social benefits in situations of need, especially in the event of unemployment, and that the support and additional benefits shall be free". |
