NEW YORK — New York authorities are still on the hunt Saturday for a man wanted in a fatal workplace shooting on Long Island. |
Police say Sang Ho Kim disappeared after he opened fire inside a light fixture company in Garden City, N.Y. on Wednesday morning, killing one employee and wounding the company's chief executive. He was still missing Saturday. |
His sport utility vehicle was found in Cold Spring, about a 70 mile drive northwest of Garden City. |
Officials there searched a vast area of state parkland, railroad tracks and the nearby Hudson River but found no trace of Kim, who lived in Queens. Police continued to search in other areas, including New York City. |
Police said the shooting apparently stemmed from a business dispute between the 63-year-old Kim and company officials. |
As an entrepreneur, you’re taking a massive risk. The vast majority of startup businesses fail in the first few years of operation, and only a tiny minority ever strike it big. But there’s a public misconception about how these eventualities play out—namely, there’s a perception that these trajectories are linear. The ... |
In reality, there are far more twists and turns to the average startup’s story. In fact, if you take a look at some of the biggest and most successful companies of our era, you can follow their history back to at least one event that put them in danger of failing. The successful companies are differentiated not because... |
It’s hard to imagine that FedEx was ever a startup, but it was, and in fact, it almost failed entirely. The company has been around since 1971, when it was started by Frederick W. Smith. The concept of overnight delivery worldwide was fairly new and exciting, but by 1974, the company was struggling due to fuel costs—in... |
Elon Musk is best known for his startups Tesla and SpaceX, both of which are on the forefronts of amazing technological developments.

Now worth more than $1 billion and loved by users all over the world, Airbnb almost turned into a very different story.

Evan Williams started Blogger back in 1999, when the concept of blogging was still relatively new.

HARRY and Meghan are looking for a new property in the Cotswolds - because they love the area so much, sources claim. |
The Royal couple are set to leave their £2.5 million countryside bolthole in Great Tew which they rented in May 2018. |
They are due to move into Frogmore Cottage on the Queen's tranquil Windsor estate. |
But sources say they are so in love with the Cotswolds they are looking to find another property in the Chipping Norton area as a country pad. |
One of these locations the couple are seeking is understood to be a luxury Roman Villa on Beaconsfield Farm. |
Beaconsfield Farm consists of a farmhouse and several farm buildings along with a Roman Villa at the site. |
Planning documents show there has been applications to build a driveway at that site with its uses listed as "security" and farming. |
The Cotswolds rural retreat consists of a converted barn and a two-bedroom outhouse for staff or guests. |
The main house has both a downstairs and upstairs kitchen and boasts floor-to-ceiling windows with stunning views of the surrounding countryside. |
There is also a large dining room and an outdoor seating area complete with patio heaters for entertaining guests. |
A royal source said: "The Duke and Duchess especially the Duchess love Oxfordshire and have become very attracted to it with its peaceful setting and tranquillity. |
"The surrounding countryside is fantastic. |
"The move to Frogmore Cottage is expected to get underway at the start of March as they move away from Nottingham Cottage at Kensington Palace and stop leasing their £2.5m Cotswold property. |
"However, the area has a very special place in the couple's hearts and they are looking for a property in the Great Tew area that's affordable and can be used as a countryside retreat." |
The pair have hosted a bunch of top celebs including George Clooney at the Cotswolds house, which is located in four areas of quiet British countryside. |
Doria Ragland, Meghan's mother has also visited the farmhouse, which dates back to the mid-18th-century. |
Great Tew has a population of around 150 and is within the Great Tew Estate, a large estate which includes a historic church and several quiet country inns. |
The luxury retreat, sources claim, has given the pair the chance to escape the pressures of royal life at Kensington Palace. |
One neighbour from Great Tew, a hamlet near the couple's bolthole claims that the couple are looking at Beaconsfield Farm as their next long term venture following the construction of a driveway at the site. |
He said: "There has been a flurry of activity at Beaconsfield Farm since the construction of a new driveway supposedly without planning permission. |
"They erected in early last year, very quickly, shortly before the royals announced that they were moving to the area. |
"We have been told that there is interest in the site and that the track was built to allow the client to easily access the farm and the villa. |
"This road is just the start of it." |
The Great Tew Estate declined to comment after being approached. |

We also previously told how the country house where Meghan and her mum stayed the night before the Royal Wedding has opened its doors for a documentary, which shows staff preparing for a very special arrival. |

Approximately 4,000 fire lookout towers once dotted Western forests, staffed by dedicated lookouts who scanned the surrounding woods for any hint of smoke. |
But today, about 400 are in use, largely due to budget constraints and the rise of satellite and spotter plane technology. Some abandoned towers burned, while others became historical sites or lodging for tourists. Now, a new project could make the rest obsolete. |
This year, the Nevada Seismological Laboratory deployed a dozen high-definition cameras on mountaintops around the Lake Tahoe Basin (the AlertTAHOE program) and in central and northern Nevada, on both public and private land. |
The cameras, which have infrared capabilities and can pan, tilt and zoom, feed time-lapse images to fire department monitors and even home computers. Smoke can be detected much earlier, allowing firefighters to squelch fires sooner and reducing the need for expensive spotter planes, says Graham Kent, director of the la... |

Arif Ali, AFP | People hold placards at a vigil for the victims of a suicide bombing in Lahore, Pakistan, on February 15, 2017. |
An explosion killed at least 25 people and injured dozens in a busy vegetable market in the Pakistani city of Lahore Monday, officials said, but the cause of the blast was not immediately clear. |
The powerful explosion hit a bustling main road in the south of Lahore and blew out windows in nearby buildings. |
"(The explosion) seems like a suicide blast targeting police, but we are still ascertaining the nature of the explosion," said the city's commissioner Abdullah Khan Sumbul. |
A spokesman for Lahore police, Syed Hammad Shah, put the toll at 25 dead with 40 injured. Senior local administration official Sumair Ahmad Syed confirmed the death toll, though he put the number of injured at 35. |
Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan told a press conference held minutes after the blast that most of the casualties were police officers, but was unable to confirm the nature of the explosion. |
Senior police officer Haider Ashraf told AFP that at least 10 police officers were among the dead. |
The area was busy with police at the time because officers had been sent to the market to clear stalls that had illegally spilt onto the road. |
Provincial law minister Rana Sanaullah said the blast had appeared to target the vegetable market, which was crowded with shoppers at the time. |
Eyewitness Sher Dil, who works at an office close to the site of the explosion, said it blew out the windows of his office building. |
"I was in my office when it all happened. It was a deafening blast, which shook the entire Arfa Karim Towers," Dil told AFP. |
Pakistan's president, prime minister and army chief all issued statements expressing condolences for the loss of life. |
Lahore has been hit by significant militant attacks in Pakistan's more than decade-long war on extremism, but they have been less frequent in recent years. |
The last major blast in the city was in March last year, when 75 were killed and hundreds injured in a bomb targeting Christians celebrating Easter Sunday in a park. |
But the country was hit by a wave of attacks in February this year, including a bomb that killed 14 people in Lahore. |
In April a further seven were killed in an attack in the city targeting a team that was carrying out the country's long overdue census. |
After years of spiralling insecurity, the powerful army launched a crackdown on militancy in the wake of a brutal attack on a school in late 2014. |
More than 150 people, most of them children, died in the Taliban-led assault in the northwestern city of Peshawar -- the country's deadliest ever single attack. |
It shook a country already grimly accustomed to atrocities and prompted the military to step up an operation in the tribal areas, where militants had previously operated with impunity. |
Explosions caused by gas cylinders -- which are used for cooking as well as in cars -- are also common in Pakistan. A blast in Lahore in February was initially thought to be a militant attack, but turned out to be a gas explosion. |
Officials have since been cautious about prematurely confirming the nature of explosions. |
Lahore, a city of around six million, is Pakistan's cultural hub and the capital of its most powerful province, Punjab. |
With shaggy blue carpet and a green retro kitchen, this beachfront cottage with a gargantuan price tag is evidence that location means everything when it comes to real estate. |
If you are looking for evidence that location means everything, this Avoca Beach retro home is proof irrefutable. |
With shaggy blue carpet, a green retro kitchen and floral curtains throughout, the home has barely been touched in years — but it has something that will guarantee a top dollar sale — its absolute prime position. |
IS THIS CENTRAL COAST HOME THE BEACHIEST PROPERTY EVER? |
On the sandy shores of one of the coast’s most popular beaches, the 727 sqm property at 157 Avoca Dr has a gargantuan price guide of $3.995 million. |
The humble home includes an original four-bedroom cottage and a slightly more modernised two bedroom self-contained loft and four car garage, where the current owner lives. |
This beachfront strip is renowned as one of the most sought-after locations in the region, with properties selling around the $4 million range. Unbelievably, the majority of buyers are holiday house investors from Sydney. |
“There is probably about a 95 per cent chance that a Sydney buyer will purchase this as a weekender — every sale in this pocket for the past 15 years, bar one that I know of, have been for these types of buyers,” agent Kyle Brand from George Brand Avoca Beach said. |
Mr Brand said that with a bit of love and about $60,000-$70,000, a buyer could renovate the existing property, but in his experience, it would be a knockdown job. |
“I recently sold a nearby property at 125 Avoca Dr for $4.7 million and the owners have just had plans approved for a knockdown rebuild,” he said. |
