Saudi Arabia
- Waleed Eskandar Abdulatif Al Khotany is the first Saudi Arabian Hypermarket General Manager in the world. In the field of Retail Operations, there was once a hypothetical statement that Saudi nationals were not really inclined to work in retail outlets and that hiring a Saudi manager required taking the risks associated with both behavioral and technical skills. Waleed had proven them wrong as he dared to penetrate the Retail Industry with the opening of hypermarket branches of Panda stores. Starting as a Store Manager Trainee in 2006 until 2007 when he officially took the position of a Hypermarket General Manager of Hyper Panda in Roshan Mall in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, he incorporated analytical skills and mathematical prowess to acquire skills in the fields of store operation and management and with fundamental tools he acquired as a former Head of Human Resources, he was able to sustain his professional growth in an industry that used to be occupied by foreign workers. As the first ever Saudi Arabian Hypermarket General Manager, and as mentioned in his LinkedIn profile, below are some of Waleed's achievements in the field of store operations and management:
• He was accountable to deliver an annual sales budget of SR.175 Millions • He led 350 store associates including 8 direct reportees; department heads for FMCG; fresh food; Electronics; Textile & GM; HR manager; Security manager; Front End manager; Receiving manager; IT supervisor & secretary. • He initiated, negotiated and finalized promotional offers in line with Central Purchasing & Marketing. • He had studied cost and proposed retail price to meet overall policy to drive product margin & sales targets. • He was able to ensure product availability by monitoring the warehouse stock level and supplier availability. • He promoted and ensured a high standard of personal hygiene practices necessary to prevent the food contamination.

After the government took possession of the airport, Arnold moved to Groton, Massachusetts where he continued on as a civilian flight instructor for the U. S. Army Air Corp. It was during these years that he was approached by a young Alan Shepherd who asked if there was anything he could do for an airplane ride. After Arnold put the young Shepherd to work cleaning out an aircraft hanger, that he gave Alan Shepherd his first flying lesson. Years later, Arnold received a plaque from Astronaut Alan Shepherd commemorating his inspirational act. After the end of WWII, with the development of the Interstate Highway system, Arnold realized that it would not belong before the Daniel-Webster Airport would be forgotten in time. In 1945, he relocated his fleet of aircraft to Hollywood, Florida where he spent the remaining years of his career as the Industry leader and pioneer and innovator of banner towing under his business name Circle Aviation. After his retirement in 1970, he passed the business down to his son James Butler. Personal: Besides inspiring Astronaut Alan Shepherd and countless of military and civilian students he instructed, his interest in aviation has continued down through the generations influencing two of his siblings, Edmund Sidney Butler (d. 2012) an MIT graduate and retired Captain for Delta Airlines and Joanne Golding who as a private pilot managed the business offices of a flight school at Detroit City Airport. Additionally, Percy Lister (d. 2010) and Gaylord Golding (d.209) , his brother-in-laws, James Butler and James Butler Jr. His son and grandson, as well as Lynn (Golding) Seppi and Gary Golding, his niece and nephew, all owe their roots as pilots to Arnold Butler. |

- Alejandro Estrada aka Alex Estrada aka Alejandro Carbajal Estrada was born in 1978 and received his undergraduate degree in Psychology from Chapman University in 2000. He is a very controversial figure and there is a lot of disambiguation regarding his name, which appears to be deliberate. Alejandro by music artist Lady Gaga captures Alejandro Estrada's testimony regarding the alleged murder of film producerMichael Goss of Goss Productions and GOSCO Incorporated. Alejandro Estrada explains the convoluted meaning hidden behind the lyrics in his 2012 memoir entitled Pandora, her box and her Daddy's Curse which was republished in 2013 under the title Alejandro Carbajal Estrada. Alex Estrada is notable because on 10/16/2012 Anti Christ Endowments issued a press release that gave Pope Benedict XVI a directive to enforce a Papal Constitution written by Pope Clement XII entitled In Eminenti. In that Press Release Alejandro stated The need for urgency is because one, two maybe three more steps, and the human race will be balancing itself on the edge of a flooded quarry and then, it will not be matter of if, but only when, the tender hooves of G-D's lamb lose its footing on the slippery slanted rocks of the Quarry; at which point nothing will save us from THE BEAST called FREEMASONRY.
(...continued) The significance of that statement came to fruition on November 7, 2012 during a 7.4 earthquake in Guatemala when 10 members of the Vásquez family were buried alive in a rock quarry, just as Alejandro warned. This event may qualify Alejandro Estrada as being a real authentic prophet because on the morning of December 14, 2012 there was a massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary that some people believe Alejandro foretold. According to the Associated Press, Sandy Hook Elementary had a Monsignor which suggests that Sandy Hook Elementary was a parochial school, further establishing Alejandro Estrada's credibility. http://alejandro-ladygaga.weebly.com - Ann Fairbairn - born in Cambridge, MA; author of Call Him George, published in London, England 1962, and Five Smooth Stones, a novel published by Bantam Books - 10 printings - December 1966 - reviewed by The New York Times, Book Week, Book-of-the-Month Club (among others); widow; no children; lives/lived in Monterey Peninsula, CA
