Tap Into More Bike Infrastructure Funding
By: Kiran Herbert, PeopleForBikes' content manager
The League of American Bicyclists and Safe Routes Partnership collaborated on state-specific fact sheets for the Transportation Alternatives Program.
Looking to combat climate change and create healthier, more robust communities in the process, more cities are interested in funding safer streets for people walking and bicycling. Luckily, federal funds allocated under the Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) are available for projects that expand travel choices, strengthen local economies, improve quality of life and protect the environment. Many TAP projects enhance smaller-scale, non-motorized projects, including bicycle facilities, recreational trails and road user safety assessments.
TAP funding comes from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, which PeopleForBikes lobbied for alongside the Safe Routes Partnership, the League of American Bicyclists and others. These efforts led to a 70% increase in funding for TAP, taking it from $800m a year to $1.4b a year on average — that means more money for important bicycle investments across the country.
In order to assist communities looking to apply for TAP funding, the League of American Bicyclists and Safe Routes Partnership collaborated on state-specific fact sheets. Each state's fact sheet lists out how much money the state gets for TAP, how much can be used for technical assistance, how much is set aside for recreational trails, the Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) that get money and, when possible, the dates that TAP competition opens/closes.
“We created these fact sheets because, in contrast to many transportation funding streams where states get to decide what to invest in, the Transportation Alternatives Program is specifically designed to fund locally identified projects. We want communities and advocates to know that this funding is for them,” said Marisa Jones, policy and partnerships director at Safe Routes Partnership. “Also, new this year, states can't transfer TAP funds to other uses as long as there are suitable projects that apply for the funds, so by raising awareness about who is eligible to apply, the types of projects that are eligible and when application dates are, our hope is that we will encourage enough applications that every penny of this program gets spent on its intended purposes.”
A variety of entities are eligible to apply for TAP funding:
- Local governments, such as city, town or county agencies
- Regional transportation authorities
- Transit agencies
- Natural resource or public land agencies
- School districts, local education agencies or schools
- Tribal governments
- Nonprofit organizations (although they must apply through a local government agency or quasi-governmental agency for contracting purposes)
- Metropolitan Planning Organizations representing an area with a population of 200,000 or less
- Any other local or regional governmental entity with responsibility for oversight of transportation or recreational trails
All 50 states receive TAP money, and there is funding set aside for communities of all sizes, from rural communities with less than 5,000 people to major metro areas. The fact sheets lay out each state’s TAP website, a baseline for how much money is available per state (this number will only increase annually through fiscal year 2026) and how much funding gets set aside based on community size, as well as any known deadlines and local contacts.
Jones notes that application dates are in flux and points to a Google spreadsheet that’s being updated in real time. If the listed TAP competition date has already passed, take note of the date — states will likely re-open competition around the same time next year.
New this year, states can get money specifically to help communities apply for the program and then deliver on projects. While some states are proactive about this, with the information listed on their respective websites, it’s a new thing and not all states are there yet. Jones encourages people to ask for the help they need and to reach out (firstname.lastname@example.org) with any questions.
Again, as long as there are enough acceptable applications for TAP projects, this money can not be used to fund things like highways and roadway expansion. Please share these fact sheets widely with all state and local partners — we all have a role to play in building safe, bikeable communities. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
WRANGELL - Between state budget cuts, a mainline vessel engine breakdown, a halt to port calls in Prince Rupert, B.C., and COVID-19 travel restrictions, the Alaska Marine Highway System has struggled the past year to provide service to Wrangell and the rest of Southeast.
Under the governor's proposed budget for the state fiscal year that starts July 1, the ferry system would have even less money to provide service.
"Woefully inadequate," Ketchikan Rep. Dan Ortiz, who also represents Wrangell, described the governor's budget plan on Dec. 30.

Kidnapped - Catriona - The Master of Ballantrae - Weir of HermistonThese four great novels take us deep into Robert Louis Stevenson's imaginative and bitter-sweet relationship with his native country.Kidnapped, and its sequel Catriona, are renowned the world over as supreme stories of adventure and romance. On another level they also explore the subtle divisions of Scottish history and character in the eighteenth century, and (some would say) the present day.The Master of Ballantrae takes a darker and more disturbing turn, with its tale of rival brothers caught in a webof hatred, obsession, love and betrayal which draws them to their end in the frozen wastes of North America.Stevenson's fascination with the divided nature of the human self (most obviously demonstrated in Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde) appears again in the Weir of Hermiston with its terrible confrontation between a father and his son.With an unsurpassed combination of physical adventure and psychological insight, The Scottish Novels have moved and thrilled readers and writers from Stevenson's contemporaries to the present day.

Local MP visits Coca-Cola Manufacturing site in Edmonton as it announces £12Million investment
- Coca-Cola Europacific Partners’ (CCEP) welcomes Kate Osamor MP to its Edmonton factory as it announces a £12million investment into the site this year
- The funding coincides with a milestone 70% reduction in carbon emissions since 2010
Coca-Cola Europacific Partners (CCEP), the largest independent bottler of Coca-Cola globally, has welcomed Edmonton MP Kate Osamor to its local manufacturing site.
The site, home to a 280-strong workforce and seven production lines, has received an additional £12million investment this year.
The visit provided an opportunity to showcase the plant’s latest sustainability initiatives, which the latest round of funding has enabled and will continue to support over the course of the year ahead. The Edmonton site recently achieved a 70% reduction in its carbon emissions compared to 2010 levels, with the site aiming to reach carbon neutral status in the future, underpinned by CCEP’s sustainability action plan, This is Forward.
The manufacturing site has received a total of £42million in investment since 2017, which includes £5.8million in funding for a rear door loading facility, doubling the number of loading bays and increasing overall capacity by 22%.
The site, which has been using 100% renewable electricity for over 10 years, has also recently replaced all material handling equipment (MHE), such as forklift trucks, with new models powered by lithium-ion batteries, which produce no carbon emissions in their day-to-day operations.
Edmonton is supporting CCEP’s sustainability ambitions nationally, and will be the next location to begin producing CCEP’s redesigned bottles with attached caps, following the initial production rollout in Scotland last month. A £3million investment will convert the site’s existing lines, enabling the site to produce bottles that are easier to collect and recycle, as the new design means all caps remain attached to the bottles, reducing the chance for them to be littered.
These ongoing developments have seen the creation of 14 new manufacturing roles this year alone, and the business is currently recruiting for two new apprentices to join the 14 existing health, safety and environment (HSE), engineering and business apprentices. To support this, CCEP has recently undertaken a £500,000 investment in employee wellbeing facilities at Edmonton, including a new kitchen and social spaces, as well as changes to make facilities accessible to all future employees.
Karl Probert, Operations Director at Coca-Cola Europacific Partners in Edmonton, said: “We’re pleased to be able to show Kate Osamor all the work we’ve been doing to make Edmonton an even more sustainable operation and enjoyable place to work for everyone. With over 30 nationalities and 20 different languages spoken, Edmonton is one our most diverse manufacturing locations. The site truly embodies our Everyone’s Welcome philosophy, and we’re proud to be creating an equitable workplace for colleagues from all different backgrounds.”
Stephen Moorhouse, Vice-President and General Manager, Coca-Cola Europacific Partners (GB), said: “Edmonton has played a key role in many of the business’ most significant step along its sustainability journey, and continuing to invest in reducing carbon at the site is helping contribute to our commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emission by 30% by 2030 across our operations in GB, as well as our overall ambition to reach net zero by 2040. It’s thanks to the hard work of all our colleagues at the site that we’re where we are today, and I look forward to seeing continued positive change.”
Kate Osamor, MP for Edmonton, said: “This significant investment at Edmonton demonstrates CCEP’s ongoing commitment to sustainability, as well as to the surrounding community and local economy. The business has been a key employer in Edmonton for almost five decades, and it’s fantastic to see how it’s evolved in this time, continuing to invest in sustainability and wellbeing every step of the way.”

Great stuff. But it was packaged poorly and leaked all over the rest of my order. I would recommend it, but be sure to ask for it to be taped closed and bagged separately.

Smells great but directions read "spray as needed" but no sprayer came—bought as winter came on so haven't seen it in action as bug repellent yet.

This is an amazing product! I have been bitten so badly by every kind of bug when I garden this summer. I had this spray on for four hours in the late afternoon until sunset with absolutely NO bug bites! It has a sweet, very pleasant scent and leaves no oily residue on my skin. I even sprayed it on my hair and all over my clothes. A must buy for gardeners! Will start using it on our horse next.

"Today's decision turns out to help us in our strategy to get expeditiously to the U.S. Supreme Court. Although we fully disagree with this opinion, we're thankful to the Obama-appointed judge for making this anticipated decision quickly, rather than simply trying to run out the clock.
"We will be seeking an expedited appeal to the Third Circuit. There is so much evidence that in Pennsylvania, Democrats eliminated our opportunity to present 50 witnesses and other evidence that election officials blatantly ignored Pennsylvania's law denying independent review. This resulted in 682,777 ballots being cast illegally, wittingly or unwittingly. This is just an extension of the Big Tech, Big Media, Corrupt Democrat censorship of damning facts the American public needs to know.
"We are disappointed we did not at least get the opportunity to present our evidence at a hearing. Unfortunately the censorship continues. We hope that the Third Circuit will be as gracious as Judge Brann in deciding our appeal one way or the other as expeditiously as possible. This is another case that appears to be moving quickly to the United States Supreme Court."

When your average, run-of-the-mill retired superhero Latin teacher meets an angel on the underground, it’s not only runaway trains that spark.
Christian Winter used to save the world. In World War II, when good and bad was a simple matter of whose side you were on, life seemed so much simpler. Back then it was easy for a superman to see the troops safely home. Back then it was easy to be Mithras.
Long since retired to teach Latin in a London school, the man who used to be Mithras wants nothing more than a cup of tea and a quiet life. All that changes thanks to a runaway train on the Northern Line, and a red-headed Scottish angel whose eyes are bluer than a summer sky, who just happens to have a thing for chaps in tweed.
Christian is swept along by Freddy Rose’s passion and enthusiasm, and his efforts to resist the Scottish angel’s attractions aren’t exactly heartfelt, but can the passionate angel and an encounter with a very important lady tempt Mithras back to a life of adventure?

To start playing the Helloween slot game, you need to first set your bet size. Once that's done, simply click on the spin button to get the reels moving. Keep an eye out for the high-paying symbols, which represent the band's famous hits and albums. Fans of Helloween will easily recognize them as they spin by.
The wild pumpkin is one of the top-paying symbols, second only to the ring, offering a payout of 30 times your bet for a five-of-a-kind win. As you play the base game, you'll find it straightforward and familiar. However, keep an eye out for the floating keys in the orb, representing the band's iconic albums Keeper of the Seven Keys 1 and 2. These can trigger the free spins round, which includes 8 exciting wild features.
Matching the seven wilds are seven unique bonus games waiting to be unlocked by landing 3 scatters on reels 1, 3, and 5. This will reveal the Keeper of the Seven Keys Feature Wheel, which will spin to award one of the seven free spins games. Each game comes with 5 free spins, except for the special Helloween Free Spins game, which offers 7 free spins.
"I'm Alive" is one of the bonus games, centred around spreading wilds. Get ready to experience the fun of these bonus games and free spins as you dive into the world of Helloween in this exciting slot game.
Discover the exciting world of Helloween online slot, where mysterious features await to bring you fantastic wins. Watch as the Future Wild expands to take over the entire reel, while the Eagle Fly Free feature floats wilds around the grid, helping you from winning combinations.

And don't miss out on the explosive I Want Out feature, where wilds swallow surrounding symbols to create massive 2x2 symbols.
But the fun doesn't stop there - trigger the Helloween Free Spins for 7 exciting spins, with the chance to collect scatters and activate even more exciting features on the feature wheel.

History of our logo
In 2003 while in prayer, I heard the words Purity In Movement.
I was stunned at hearing those words and was not quite sure what it meant, so I did not pursue it. Each year after that the words Purity In Movement would come back to my remembrance. 2005 I began to unfold the words piece by piece. The word Purity quickly rang a bell with me, to me it meant anything or any person that is clean in heart and in mind, clean in the natural and in the spiritual, then I realized oh! “That’s me purity”. As a young girl, I cleaned everything that could be cleaned, my mom often loved and appreciated my cleaning, and even now I still cannot stand anything that’s unclean or disorganized.
At age 12, I openly accepted Christ and got water baptized in a pool adjacent to the Maracas Waterfall.
Maracas Waterfall with an altitude of 91.5 meters or 300 feet is Trinidad's highest waterfall. Situated on Waterfall Road, in the Maracas St. Joseph Valley
After my baptism, I became even more obsessed with cleanliness. In Psalms 24:3, Jesus had a conversation with his disciples, He told them, “who may ascend to the mountain of the LORD? Who may stand in His holy place? only he that has clean hands and a pure heart, who had not given their souls to vanity, and lived deceitfully”. After reading that scripture, I knew right away I was well on my way to standing in His holy place.
The word In meant to me that I would be doing something, but at the time I was not sure what that something was. Then finally, the word Movement; and a light bulb went off in my brain, “dance” I said to myself, oh yes! Movement is a representation of dance, so to me, it looks like the phrase is saying Vilma in dance. Now it all made complete sense because of my first name Vilma, mean anything that’s clean or pure, hence the reason God calls me Purity In Movement. I am totally amazed at God and how He does what He does.
In 2006, I began to envision what Purity In Movement would really look like. God then gave me a vision of a world globe, but I was on the inside of the globe worshiping God, and God was holding the world globe in His hand, “O’ my goodness! What a vision”. I then began to ask God about what to do with the name He gave me. He told me to copy write it in order to protect it, and I went Wow God! Then I began to look for a graphic artist who could bring the vision to life. That same year I met a Mr. Linley Grant at New Hope Seventh-day Adventist Church in Fulton Maryland, who owned his own company, Grant Graphics.
I then shared the vision with Mr. Linley, and somehow he knew right away how to create the logo to portray Purity In Movement. When he got to the hand of God holding the world globe, he became a bit discouraged. He called me and told me that he had searched the entire internet and could not find any hands that represented the hand of God. After conversing with him he came up with an amazing, God witty, invention idea. He asked me if he could take a picture of my husband’s hand, I quickly said sure. He later took a picture of Richard’s hand, and after editing, we now have the final work of the logo purity in movement being held up by the hands of God, represented by my husband’s hand Richard Gary Bond, hallelujah!
What an amazing God we have. The Logo was created in 2007, I received the copyright in 2010. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Following on from our surprise events on public holidays in Malta, we decided to bring you a pre-Christmas Brunch event at QUE Design Studio in Qormi for the 8th of December. In Malta this is the day we celebrate Conception Day. It is therefore appropriate that on this day we open up our studio doors wide open to share the QUE concept with anyone looking for something different on this public holiday.
This particular bunch idea came from our desire to invite our clients to come see the new Lacey Lucy collection, which was also recently previewed at an event in St Julians. This also gives other potential patrons a good opportunity to view whatever else we have available at our studio in Qormi following the rather successful public event we had in September as the studio launch.
Before we release a new collection online we believe it’s good to give our regular clients (and other friends interested in our work) a good sneak preview of the wares at our studio. We appreciate your feedback greatly. Your enthusiasm for our products certainly encourages us to keep this sort of thing going.
At a brunch you can expect food, of course. Bernice has prepared some complimentary delicious sweet and savory options, along with a selection of teas and coffee. Everything is naturally gluten free, which is the default dietary choice at QUE Design Studio. The elves are mighty pleased about this.
Come along anytime between 11am and 2pm on Tuesday 8 December 2015. A map to help you get to QUE Design Studio at 115 St Edward Street in Qormi is available courtesy of Google Maps. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Skye. She doesn’t do things halfway.
Here, weathered stone rings whisper of ancient rituals. Castles sigh over their own ruinous state, welcoming your admiration over all they’ve endured. The landscapes yawn out before you as if consuming the entire world.
There is nothing beyond the Isle of Skye. Or that’s how it feels, at least.
Footprints long since washed away still make up the land you see before you. The influence of so many over time, from the Scots to their invaders, from travellers to the animals who call this land home. It’s a landscape of unfathomable beauty, of sheer rock peaks and powerful moments that stay with you long after you’ve gone.
Skye’s unusual beauty attracts directors, poets, and geologists. Its unique rock types are carved into a landscape that’s as surreal as it is stunning.
You’ll gaze at rocky outcrops, crescent shaped mountains, and physics-defying cliffs. And no matter why you visit, you’ll find this island mystical.
The largest town in Skye has a population of 2,491 people. It’s famous for being a colourful, cultural centre for the people of Skye.
You can find gifts for your family, you can splash out on fine dining, or you can spend your time watching the flows of the ocean.
The most epic lighthouse you could imagine. It clings to a jagged, winding headland, and shines bright in luminous white.
But don’t get too distracted by the lighthouse. Because if you keep a lookout to the sea, you may catch a glimpse of a herd of minke whales.
Skye is awash with folk tales of mischievous fairies. Dip your feet in the fairy pools and walk amongst the grassy knolls of the fairy glen.
If you’re game, try visiting the little stream under Sligachan Bridge where the trickling water is rumoured to provide eternal beauty. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

My name is Rachel. I am a self-taught artist who works primarily with mixed media and gouache paint. I delight in making art with shiny stuff I find.
My artwork for the most part is devotional. I am humbled that I get to use my gifts to inspire prayer and conversation with God. I love making stuff that helps people connect more deeply with their faith and their relationship with Our Lord and the communion of saints.
I studied English at The Catholic University of America in Washington, DC. This was one of the most formative experiences for my soul. I love, love, love the role of narrative and lyric in our storied lives.
I studied theology and pastoral leadership at Notre Dame Seminary in New Orleans. I make art in a little home studio in the River Parishes. My German Shepherd puppy, Hilde (short for Hildegard) keeps me company when I paint
I also contribute to a little arts journal called Joie de Vivre, where my passions for literature, theology, and art synthesize to celebrate the beauty of the bayou. JDV is a publication of The St. Louis IX Art Society down in Louisiana
If you are connected with a particular devotion or patron saint, let me know--I would love to paint something to help inspire you in your faith life!

You must first complete the following:
Time has elapsed
You are nearing the end of your late shift when an F2 doctor asks if he can discuss a 20-year-old asthmatic patient with you. His friend called an ambulance because he had become more breathless as the day went on. The patient reported that his salbutamol inhaler had run out a week ago and his steroid inhaler 3 months ago. He has moved region, is currently of no fixed abode and is not yet registered with a GP.
The patient’s observations on arrival were as follows:
He was able to complete sentences in a single attempt and his measured PEFR was 270L/min. His best ever PEFR was 500L/min. but it has not been measured recently.
The F2 has followed the departmental asthma proforma and given the patient two 5 mg salbutamol nebulisers and prednisolone 40 mg. It is now 2 hours after his arrival and his observations are stable:
His inhaler been checked and found to be satisfactory. The F2 doctor would like to discharge him with a new salbutamol and beclometasone inhaler and suggest that he register with a GP in the morning for follow up in 2 days time.
Categorise the severity of this asthma exacerbation using the information above:
Although you know that this F2 doctor is extremely competent you have some concerns about the potential discharge of this patient late at night, particularly since he is of no fixed abode and has no GP.
What other factors would you wish to ascertain from the patients past medical history that may indicate that discharge could be associated with an increased risk of relapse?
The patient does not have a history of severe asthma and is not keen to stay. His best PEFR, however, has not been measured since he was 16 years old.
Explain why this information may influence management?
Although you have concerns about his social circumstances and follow up he declines your offer of admission for overnight observation. He says he will call his parents who can collect him (they live an hour away), take him home and then he will see his family GP for follow up. This seems a reasonable plan but you then find additional information in his pre-hospital paperwork that makes you strongly recommend admission. What new information could you have found that influenced your decision to admit him?
The patient agrees to stay and you refer the patient to the medical registrar, who is incredulous that a patient with life-threatening asthma has not had arterial blood gas sampling performed. She suggests that you 'take bloods', request a chest radiograph and, if his arterial blood gases are OK, she will accept him on the acute medical unit.
Which one of these investigations is least appropriate at this time? | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Our Science curriculum aims to develop a sense of excitement and curiosity about natural phenomena and an understanding of how the scientific community contributes to our past, present and future. We want pupils to develop a complex knowledge of Biology, Chemistry and Physics, but also adopt a broad range of skills in working scientifically and beyond; in other words, to think like a Scientist. Studying science allows children to appreciate how new knowledge and skills can be fundamental to solving arising global challenges. Our curriculum is designed so pupils may experience the joy of science and make associations between their science learning and their lives outside the classroom.
Our Science curriculum enables pupils to meet the end of key stage attainment targets in the National curriculum and the aims also align with those set out in the National curriculum in Key Stage 1 and 2. For EYFS, the activities allow pupils to work towards the ‘Understanding the World’ Development Matters statements and Early learning goals, while also covering foundational knowledge that will support them in their further history learning in Key stage 1.
Each year, children cover six units of learning in Science. Cross-curricular links are included throughout each unit, allowing children to make connections and apply their Science skills to other areas of learning. Each unit is based upon one of the key science disciplines; Biology, Chemistry and Physics. We have grouped the National curriculum content into six key areas of science: Plants, Animals including humans, Living things and habitats, Materials, Energy, Forces, and Earth and Space. As pupils progress through the school, these key areas are revisited with increasing complexity in our units, allowing pupils to revise and build on their previous learning.
Our science curriculum utilises practical activities that aid in the progression of disciplinary skills and provide opportunities for full investigations. Pupils explore key knowledge and conceptual understanding through engaging activities and an introduction to relevant specialist vocabulary. ‘Working Scientifically’ skills are integrated with conceptual understanding in our activities so children have frequent and relevant opportunities for developing scientific enquiry skills. Our curriculum supports children to: be able to evaluate and identify the methods that ‘real world’ scientists use to develop and answer scientific questions; identify and use equipment effectively to accurately gather, measure and record data; be able to display and convey data in a variety of ways, including graphs; analyse data in order to identify, classify, group, and find patterns; use evidence to formulate explanations and conclusions; and demonstrate scientific literacy through presenting concepts and communicating ideas using scientific vocabulary.
Our Science curriculum supports pupils to:
- Develop a body of foundational knowledge for the Biology topics in the National curriculum: Plants; Animals, Including Humans; Living Things and Their Habitats; Evolution and Inheritance.
- Develop a body of foundational knowledge for the Chemistry topics in the National curriculum: Everyday Materials; Uses of Everyday Materials; Properties and Changes of Materials; States of Matter; Rocks.
- Develop a body of foundational knowledge for the Physics topics in the National curriculum: Seasonal Changes; Forces and Magnets; Sound; Light; Electricity; Earth and Space.
- Be able to evaluate and identify the methods that ‘real world’ scientists use to develop and answer scientific questions.
- Identify and use equipment effectively to accurately gather, measure and record data.
- Be able to display and convey data in a variety of ways, including graphs.
- Analyse data in order to identify, classify, group, and find patterns.
- Use evidence to formulate explanations and conclusions.
- Demonstrate scientific literacy through presenting concepts and communicating ideas using scientific vocabulary.

Is a "Bog" Good Enough for Patching Concrete?
You strive for the best flooring system possible, so why perform concrete repair with any old “bog”?
Perhaps “bog” is a slang term from my part of the world, but generally speaking it’s a cheap patching compound used to fill cracks and voids before over-coating. The timber industry has a bog, the auto industry has a bog, the building industry has a bog - but, in my opinion, the concrete flooring industry definitely should not have a bog! Let me explain why.
What is a bog?
A bog is typically a highly filled, fast-cure product with very little resin in the mix. This makes it cheap, but prone to inconsistent
adhesion and that’s exactly what you don’t want in a flooring environment. So what type of patching compound should you use?
Patching compound wish list
In my opinion, I want to do concrete repair with a product that has the following properties:
Resin rich - A two-pack epoxy system that is rich in resin, so I don’t have to worry about adhesion. When applying patching compounds,
you find they tend to dry out as you scratch and scrape it across the concrete. If you start with a compound that’s dry to begin with,
it will quickly become unworkable and the adhesion even more of a concern.
Ready to mix - A pre-formulated, ready-to-use patching compound eliminates the inconsistencies adding in bits and pieces on-site can
Thickness range - A patching compound that be high build or feather edge and maintain its shape regardless. Being a high-build product,
I wouldn’t want any solvent or water in it as you could end up with solvent entrapment.
Working time - A longer standard working time is appreciated because patching can be a slow process, with the option of fast or slow
cure a nice bonus.
Can be sanded - While sanding afterwards isn’t the aim, I’d prefer to have something that can be sanded if required.
Compatible - The patching compound would be totally compatible with my basecoat, e.g. didn’t cause blushing, so I could apply it wet on wet
rather than having to wait for the patch to harden or dry.
- Tintable - Although not critical, I would also prefer the patching compound to be tintable in case patching was required between coats and there was a chance it could show through.
Do you have a good reliable patching compound available to you? Perhaps you have had to build your own patching compound?
How you can take action...

Maruti Suzuki India is targeting markets like UAE, Saudi Arabia, Chile, Mexico and other Latin American countries with its upcoming new version of compact sedan Dzire to accelerate exports as it eyes over 3 lakh units of overseas shipments this fiscal, a senior company official said on Wednesday.
In the domestic market, the company hopes to enhance its share in the sedan market amid the passenger vehicles market shifting towards SUVs (Sports Utility Vehicles), with the new Dzire which is slated for launch next week.
"We have been growing (exports) at a rate of about 11.9 per cent in the first seven months of the financial year and we hope to continue on that momentum.
"So we hope to do more than about 3 lakh car exports within this financial year," Maruti Suzuki India executive director corporate affairs Rahul Bharti told PTI in Goa.
In contrast, just about four years ago, the company's exports were below one lakh per year, he added.
"So, now we'll be doing about three times of that, and by the turn of the decade, we hope to multiply it another three times over to something like 8 lakh units a year," Bharti added.
Elaborating on the export strategy, Bharti said, "One of the biggest enablers of increasing export is more models in more geographies.
"So, we are adding the number of models, and we are adding the markets also."
At the moment, he said, the company is exporting to Latin America, the Middle East and Southeast Asia.
Further, he said, "At some point in time, we will re-enter Europe and Japan also (with upcoming electric SUV eVitara)."
With the upcoming new version of Dzire compact sedan, Bharti said, "We hope to increase our exports also because with the new sleek design, technologies, six airbags, as standard, it is being widely accepted in the market."
He further said, "We have to increase the density in those (existing) markets.
"We will target markets like the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Chile, Mexico, other countries in Latin America and maybe some markets in Southeast Asia also."
The existing Dzire model was among the top three export models in October, he added.
On the domestic front, Maruti Suzuki India senior executive officer, marketing and sales, Partho Banerjee said the company hopes to enhance its share in the sedan market with the new offering.
Last year, the outgoing version of Dzire clocked over 1.6 lakh units, he said, adding that with the new offering coming in the company expects more growth.
"Every second car which is sold in the sedan segment (in the domestic market) happens to be from Maruti...We are, in fact, increasing our market share in the sedan segment," he asserted.
Banerjee acknowledged that with the SUVs growing faster, the sedan segment is shrinking but sedans will continue to have its market as SUV demand stabilises at some point in time.
"Being the market leader we need to be present in all the segments.
"Our take is this, in each segment, we need to be present and offer products to the consumers.
"Let the consumer decide which form factor they want to go," Banerjee said. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Live Performances, a fireside chat, and a new music video: These were just some of the activities part of the launch event on 10 October, held at the Matchbox by Mothership. There was a heavy focus on youth mental wellness, as that was the theme of the new campaign, known as “Lovin’ Me”.
The New Campaign
The “Lovin’ Me” campaign is a youth-centred initiative promoting self-care and resilience among young people. This year, the campaign features a toolkit offering mental health resources accessible online to everyone. Mike, a Senior Manager from McDonald’s Brand Communication team, emphasised the importance of this campaign, saying, “Mental wellness is a journey, especially with today’s societal pressures.” Recognising that mental health journeys are unique to each individual, McDonald’s has curated a range of resources that resonate with youth at different stages, whether they’re seeking support for themselves or looking to help a friend.
The toolkit includes young people across varying needs, and the campaign also introduces “Lovin’ Me Reminders”—downloadable sticker packs for social media that encourage sharing supportive messages with friends and family. Additionally, a podcast series titled “Lovin’ Me Conversations” will launch in November, aiming to normalise discussions around mental health across generations.
Local Performers, Healing through Harmony
Artists Daphne Khoo (Haneri), Lucas Wang (WhyLucas), and Ester Lo (Layyi) took the stage, sharing songs born from their own emotional struggles. Each lyric resonated with raw honesty, reflecting vulnerabilities that many in the audience found relatable. During a fireside chat, the artists spoke about reducing mental health stigma, with Haneri noting, “There’s been a shift from ‘we can’t talk about it’ to ‘let’s only talk about it.'” She highlighted social media’s role in bridging gaps and fostering open conversations around mental health.
Layyi shared her thoughts on self-care, saying, “You want to give yourself first what you want to give to the world,” emphasising that “you cannot pour from an empty cup.” Today’s youth, she noted, are more vocal than ever about mental health, often sharing their personal journeys on social platforms.To access McDonald’s mental wellness resources, follow the link below. Share these with family and friends—especially anyone you know who may be struggling. Let’s support each other through tough times. Remember, you are not alone.

An Iraqi Kurdish regional official says Kurdish Peshmerga forces have discovered nine mass graves containing members of the Yazidi minority thought to have been executed by Islamic State (IS) militants in the northern town of Sinjar.
Khairy Buzani, the Kurdish regional official in charge of Yezidi affairs, said on December 30 that the graves have been discovered in Sinjar since Peshmerga fighters recaptured the twon from IS militants earlier in December.
He not say how many people were buried in the graves.
Hundreds, possibly thousands, of Yazidis are thought to have been killed when IS militants overran Sinjar in August.
Tens of thousands were either stranded on the nearby Mount Sinjar or fled to Kurdish-held parts of northern Iraq.
Amnesty International says Yazidi women and girls who were abducted, raped, forced into marriage, or sold as slaves to IS fighters could number in the thousands. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Two charred timber boxes set into a South Yorkshire hillside make a sustainable, adaptable, home and studio in HEM Architects, Susi Clark & Marc Medland Architect’s 2024 RIBA Yorkshire Award-winning design
2024 RIBA Yorkshire Award
Sort Trae, South Yorkshire
HEM Architects, Susi Clark & Marc Medland Architect for Susi Clark
Contract value: Confidential
Sort Trae sits in a rural setting overlooking the rolling South Yorkshire countryside. The brief for its design required it to be ‘relevant and sustainable’. The owner, who developed the initial concept, wanted a house that could change to meet their needs as they grew older and had minimal impact on the stunning surrounding landscape and the wider environment. The architect responded by designing what is essentially a pair of charred black timber boxes cut into the hillside – one a two-storey house and the other a single-storey studio space – floating above a low sandstone wall. These minimal structures reference agricultural buildings and help blend the project with the landscape. This simplicity is carried through to the interiors where carefully crafted detailing and use of space create a home for life that is easily adaptable and, being ultra-low energy, affordable to run. Designed to Passivhaus standards, the buildings not only respect their setting but have a minimal impact on it. The ultra-low energy approach uses the thermal mass of the concrete retaining walls and south facing triple-glazed walls to manage internal temperatures and create a comfortable, highly efficient environment.
Accessed at the upper level, the two-storey house straddles the level changes across the steeply sloping site. The other element, the single-storey studio space, is nestled into the landscape. Both buildings have full height triple-glazed windows facing out over the countryside to exploit the amazing setting while also preserving neighbours’ views across the idyllic surroundings.
The main house is designed around a central dry-stone wall with the staircase on one side and housing storage on the other, keeping rooms simple and uncluttered. At the upper, entrance level, the two bedrooms sit either side of the stair with panoramic views. This allows level access to the bedrooms should that be needed in the future. On the lower floor, the wall separates an open plan living and dining space with both opening onto an external south-facing terrace and pergola structure that can be planted to provide shading in the summer.
The jury felt that the use of natural, local materials and elegant detailing has created calm, beautifully lit space in which the owner can live, work, and enjoy the stunning setting as their needs and the world around them change.

Take some time out to speak with our qualified nurse practitioners about our injected fillers. Here at Riley Aesthetics, in Glasgow, we provide in-depth consultations discussing the use of cosmetic fillers. Get in touch with our team today to book yours.
Our nurse practitioners offer comprehensive consultations regarding our botulinum toxin. Please contact us to discuss booking your consultation.
Dermal fillers are made of various kinds of natural and man-made or synthetic materials and are injected directly into the skin. Fillers are able to restore your skin to a more youthful appearance, as the material is injected directly into the skin to plump up the chosen area. Dermal fillers are available in different thicknesses, and in general, the thicker the product, the deeper it is injected. Areas available for treatments include:
- Jaw Line
- Chin Lengthening
- Smokers’ Lines (Perioral Lines)
- Marionette Lines
- Nose-to-Mouth Lines (Nasal Labial Folds)
- Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty (Nose Correction)
- Tear Troughs
Micro-needling is a procedure that stimulates the skin into producing collagen to help regenerate and repair itself naturally. This creates smoother-, healthier-, and younger-looking skin. Micro-needling can significantly improve the appearance of:
- Acne Scars and other Types of Scars
- Aged and Sun-Damaged Skin
- Face and Décolletage Lines and Wrinkles
- Stretch Marks
Here at Riley Aesthetics, we use a topical anaesthetic to numb the skin before we undertake a micro needling procedure. We use two different types of micro-needling devices, the dermaplaning roller for larger areas and the dermapen for the face. It is recommended that a course of 3 – 6 treatments at 4- or 6-week intervals for maximum results.
Intralipotherapy (Fat Dissolving injections)
Intralipotherapy involves the injection of a fat dissolving substance, containing sodium deoxycholate, into localised fat deposits using either a needle or cannula. The solution causes destruction of the fat cells which then undergo degradation and are removed by the lymphatic system. Sodium deoxycholate works gradually within the tissue and the process of removal takes time and results can take several weeks to fully appear.
Fibroblast is the newest face-lift procedure causing a stir in the beauty world within the UK. It is a revolutionary permanent eyelift procedure that requires no surgery. It tightens and lifts the skin around the facial area with instant results. The treatment is long lasting, instant and provides permanent results lasting for 2-3 years.
How Does It Work?
Fibroblast is a non-surgical non -invasive treatment, where the plasma flash shrinks excess skin, bags and wrinkles around the targeted area. The approach works by stimulating the contraction of skin fibres instantly through a so-called ‘plasma flash’. This flash - from a hand-held device with a tiny tip - evaporates superficially on the skin at a tiny point, which shrinks the skin around the area. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Sharon Randall: Making Christmas memories
Published 12:00 am Friday, December 16, 2011
By Sharon Randall
Scripps Howard News Service
The holidays are sometimes like a patchwork quilt. We stitch them together from scraps ó pieces of time and memory, imagination and hope ó to form something new from the old.
Thatís especially true after the loss of a loved one, when traditions can feel as empty as the missing place at the table.
The year after my first husband died, my youngest was working in Yosemite National Park and couldnít come home for the holidays. So his brother and sister and I drove five hours to spend Christmas with him in a hotel room, laughing at a movie called ěSomething about Mary,î which, despite what I was led to believe, was not about the Holy Mother.
It was different from every Christmas we had known. But it was still Christmas, and best of all, we were still a family. Since then, we have celebrated 12 Christmases, each different from all the rest. Different has become our tradition.
When I remarried six years ago, my new husband and I set to work on a new ěquilt,î one we hoped would be large enough to cover both our families. Blending families is sort of like herding pigeons. Itís not that the pigeons donít get along. But even birds of a feather canít always manage to get together.
One of the things I like about my husband (and a reason I decided to marry him) is his obvious love for his family ó for his parents, his two boys, his sister, her husband and their children ó and the closeness that they share.
That closeness became even clearer last winter after we lost his dad to complications of diabetes. We knew this Christmas would be hard on the family, especially on his mom. So we began comparing notes, gathering scraps, trying to piece together a plan to get people who live hundreds of miles apart together in the same place at the same time. Pigeons might have been easier.
But one of the gifts that often follow a loss is a finer appreciation for the importance of family and a growing awareness that any Christmas, any year, any moment to be together, could be our last.
Two weeks before Christmas, my husband and I flew from Las Vegas to Oakland, Calif., to join his family ó everyone who could possibly make it ó for dinner at one of his momís favorite restaurants. (His sister, bless her, made the reservations and put us up at her house.)
Both of my husband’s boys were there. His older son and his girlfriend brought their 3-month-old, Charlotte, and we passed her around the table like a box of Seeís candy.
I was stealing a bite of my husbandís lemon tart when I looked across the table and saw his mom laughing at Charlotte, her great-granddaughter. I wish you couldíve seen them, some 80 years apart, beaming at each other as if they knew secrets the rest of us would never guess. I hoped my father-in-law was watching. Nothing could have made him happier.
The evening passed all too quickly, just a few hours together and a lot of goodbye hugs in the parking lot, but it will linger long in memory.
Why are the best memories often the briefest of moments?
My husband and I will spend this Christmas at home in Las Vegas. Weíre hoping my oldest can join us for a few days. My youngest and his wife will bring their toddler (the Firecracker) for New Yearís. My daughter and her husband will stay home with their baby (Henry, whoís a day younger than Charlotte) and Iíll go see them in January.
It will be a different sort of Christmas, an ever-changing quilt. But weíll still be a family, and it will keep us warm. Hereís wishing the same for you and yours.

Posted on October 9, 2018 in Hair
Hairstyles change like the cyclical change of seasons. They’re never the same, and you never know what the new hair trend will be each day when you wake up. According to InStyle, some of the 90s hairstyles that we all loved may be coming back. Remember the high ponytails, “The Rachel” (after the Rachel in Friends), skinny headbands, voluminous updos, choppy bobs, and crimped hair? Will they return?
For men, the Quiff haircut is ruling 2018. It’s the classic, voluminous glory style that seems to be on the big screens and covers of magazines. It’s characterized by extra length on the top and short faded sides. Then there’s the pompadour hairstyle that is a neater and more sophisticated look, but has the same short sides and long hair on top. How much longer will this style be on the popular scene?
What is your desired hairstyle? If you have hair loss, this question may be difficult for you to answer. Often times, if you have missing hair, you don’t get to determine your hairstyle. On the contrary, if you have hair loss, your hairstyle is determined by the best way to cover, hide or disguise your hair loss.
If you’re tired of your hair loss determining which hairstyle you must choose, then it’s time to contact us today. Dr. Ransom can help determine why you are losing your hair and make recommendations for you and your specific circumstances. Contact us today to arrange a consultation with Dr. Ransom.

My little brother is my hero.
On the 14th of April 2017, my brother and 5 of his friends were in an accident in Redding, CT. They sat unconscious in our old Jeep Liberty; Tom in the passenger seat, slowing burning as the flames moved from his left hand up towards his face. Ryan in the driver's seat, crushed from the impact of the car hitting the trees. Four angels, who had never met, stopped and saved each of their lives.
The accident had a huge impact on my entire family and taught us a lot. It will take 18 long months for Tom to heal completely, but he is strong. We will always be there to pick him up when he’s down, no matter how much he tries to push us away. And, although I do not believe we have been able to process it entirely, I do believe we have learned from it. We have learned that we can always find good in bad situations. We have learned that every day and every human we meet is a gift. We are lucky.

10 Lakh Loan Approval10 Lakh Loan Approval: Tips and Strategies for Approval
If you’re in need of a loan of Rs. 10 lakh, there are several options available to you. However, getting approved for a loan of this size can be difficult if you don’t have a good credit score or a steady source of income. In this article, we’ll provide some tips on how to increase your chances of getting approved for a 10 lakh loan approval.
Improve your credit score:
One of the most important factors in getting approved for a loan is having a good credit score. If your score is low, take steps to improve it. Pay off any outstanding debts and make sure you pay your bills on time. You can also get a copy of your credit report and check for any errors that could be negatively impacting your score.
Show proof of income:
Lenders want to see that you have a steady source of income to repay the loan. Make sure you have all the necessary documents, such as salary slips and bank statements, to show your income. If you’re self-employed, you’ll need to provide additional documentation such as income tax returns and balance sheets.
Choose the right lender:
Different lenders have different requirements when it comes to approving loans. Some lenders may be more willing to work with borrowers who have lower credit scores, while others may require a higher credit score. Do your research and find a lender who is more likely to approve your loan application.
Apply for a secured loan:
If you have collateral such as a house or car, you may be able to get a secured loan. These loans are less risky for lenders, so they may be more willing to approve your application even if you have a lower credit score. However, keep in mind that if you default on the loan, the lender can seize your collateral.
Consider a co-signer: If you have a family member or friend with a good credit score, they may be willing to co-sign your loan. This means they’ll be responsible for repaying the loan if you’re unable to. However, keep in mind that if you default on the loan, it could negatively impact your co-signer’s credit score.
Be prepared to negotiate: If you’re not able to get approved for a 10 lakh loan approval, consider negotiating with the lender. You may be able to get a lower interest rate or a longer repayment period. However, make sure you read the terms and conditions carefully before agreeing to anything.
In conclusion, getting approved for a 10 lakh loan approval can be a challenge, but it’s not impossible. By improving your credit score, showing proof of income, choosing the right lender, and considering other options such as a co-signer or secured loan, you can increase your chances of getting approved. Just remember to borrow responsibly and make sure you can afford the monthly payments before taking on any debt.
Check eligibility criteria: Before applying for any loan, make sure you check the eligibility criteria of the lender. Every lender has their own set of criteria which includes age, income, credit score, employment status, and more. Make sure you meet all the requirements before submitting your application.
Calculate your EMIs: It’s important to calculate your equated monthly installments (EMIs) before applying for a loan. This will give you an idea of how much you’ll need to pay each month and whether or not you can afford it. There are many online EMI calculators available that can help you with this.
Have a plan for the loan: Make sure you have a clear plan for how you’ll use the loan. Whether it’s for home renovation, business expansion, or education, having a plan will show the lender that you’re responsible and serious about repaying the loan.
Provide all required documents: When applying for a loan, make sure you provide all the required documents. This includes your ID proof, address proof, income proof, bank statements, and more. If you’re missing any documents, it could delay the approval process or even result in your application being rejected.
In conclusion, getting a 10 lakh loan approval requires careful planning, preparation, and research. By improving your credit score, showing proof of income, choosing the right lender, considering other options, checking eligibility criteria, calculating your EMIs, having a plan, and providing all required documents, you can increase your chances of getting approved. Remember to borrow only what you need and can afford to repay, and make sure you read the terms and conditions carefully before signing any loan agreement.

Fake Breitling Premier Datora B25 AB2510
Salmon dials are the exception to the classic monochrome history of watchmaking. It is a color that has been used by some of the best, including Patek Phillipe in the 1940s with the 1518, which this perfect replica Breitling obviously takes its style cues from. That watch is a perpetual calendar that will push eight figures and its modern counterpart in the 5270P will set you back over a quarter of a million dollars. The luxury fake Breitling version is a complete calendar that includes day, date, month, and moonphase to go along with the chronograph.
While not made to the level or rarity or a Patek, it does offer a similar classic look at a price point that is not trying to compete with its high horology countryman. Being a Swiss made replica Breitling does mean it is COSC certified like every watch it makes. Watches like the Datora coming out of Breitling are often referenced to show how much the brand has improved since 2017 when new leadership took over the company.
Replica IWC Pilot Mark XVIII Le Petit Prince IW3270-10
Blue has been the third color option for most watchmakers, so it does not stand out as something novel compared to the pinks and greens of the world. It is still something a little different and can help add some interest to a dial while still keeping a classic look, though. AAA quality replica IWC has used blue on its Le Petit Prince editions of watches since 2013. The watches are created in partnership with the Antoine de Saint-Expuéry foundation, the early aviation pioneer and author of Le Petit Prince. These best 1:1 fake watches stay true to the original versions but add a blue dial and an etching of the little prince on the moon to the caseback. While the black dial may be the classic and most legible way to create this pilot’s copy watch, where would the fun be if watch design considered only legibility and previous designs? | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
I deleted Twitter a while ago, but I’ll still check out a few people’s pages every now and then. Matt Taibbi’s account is usually a good place to go. An angry reader told Taibbi (who works at Rolling Stone) that he wasn’t fit to write record reviews. Taibbi responded by saying that’s why he doesn’t write record reviews.
I incorrectly thought Yahoo News had folded. Back in the day (think early 2000s) I used My Yahoo as my opening page onto the grand promise of the internet. It was actually decent back then – a fairly streamlined central site for bringing in quality stories. Their pages are a mess nowadays, but so are all of the news sites.
The interview with Texas and Christman is really interesting. Skip past the first couple of minutes – Isikoff and Klaidman are oddly obsessed with how they chose the name Chapo Trap House. The rest of the discussion is good, but the part about Iran really stayed with me and reminded me that people don’t listen very well. Isikoff and Klaidman are professional interviewers, and even they hear what they want to hear.
They asked Texas and Christman about events in the Middle East and about Iranian nukes. I’m not sure which one is Texas and which is Christman, but they make the point that it’s in Iran’s interests to get a nuke. Isikoff and Klaidman seemed very surprised. I want to listen to it again, but they heard that Texas and Christman wanted Iran to have nukes. Maybe they do. But it’s not what they said. They were talking about the rationality of it.
(This is a mix of some of the things they said and my thoughts of how Iran probably sees some things.) Trump tore up the Iran deal when he got into office. Trump threatened to bomb 52 sites in Iran, including cultural sites. For as long as I can remember Dick Cheney, Bill Kristol, John Bolton, and other neocons have been arguing for regime change in Iran. The United States, the world’s superpower and a frequent advocate for regime change in Iran, has had a massive military presence in countries bordering Iran for nearly 20 years. Israel has nuclear weapons.
Iran would be crazy to not want nuclear weapons. But that’s not really my point.
I wonder why Isikoff and Klaidman both concluded that Texas and Christman wanted Iran to have nukes. Maybe they’ve used wording to that effect elsewhere that influenced what they thought they were hearing. Maybe we’re all guilty of it, even when speaking. I’ve heard very good interviewers refer back to something someone said moments ago, just to have that person deny having said it.
Extra. There was another interesting part in which Isikoff was talking about people’s opposition to socialism because they’ve seen too much evidence of the failures. Christman and Texas interjected and mentioned that they loved how people always conveniently leave out the Scandinavian countries when they discuss socialism. Isikoff got caught up. He said that the Scandinavian countries started backing away from their socialism in the 1950s. Texas and Christman jumped, explaining that logic didn’t make sense. The countries are prosperous, they moved away from socialism, they’re still far more socialist than any U.S. candidates, and yet U.S. voters want a Biden because they’ll never support radical socialism.
I don’t care if people think Sanders’ or Warren’s policies won’t work. But explain why. Don’t be lazy and just start screaming but look at Venezuela!! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Quotas on Atlantic bluefin tuna to help protect and grow the population in the Eastern Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea are working, but it’s too soon to relax those restrictions, according to the World Wildlife Fund.
“There are still too many boats for too few fish to be sustainably caught,” said Dr Sergi Tudela, head of fisheries for WWF-Mediterranean.
The statement comes as member nations of the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT) meet in Agadir, Morocco, at the commission’s 18th special meeting. Members at the meeting include the United States, Canada, Japan, China and the European Union.
Tudela noted that ICCAT nations first adopted a plan to regulate Atlantic bluefin tuna fishing in 2008, and refined it in 2010. That plan, he said, has led to a stock increase, which is a good thing, but the tuna population still has a long way to go.
The current plan, Tudela said, was based on “strongly underestimated” catch rates of fishing fleets, which means overfishing may still be happening.
With the current plan scheduled to expire next year, Tudela urged ICCAT nations not to allow quotas to increase, and to more strictly enforce existing quotas.
“We call on ICCAT to extend the capacity reduction plan for the next three years using updated and accurate estimates of potential catch rates to ensure overcapacity is fully removed within the next three years,” Tudela said.
Tudela noted that Atlantic bluefin tuna has been so badly overfished in the past that it became the signature example of the negative effects of overfishing on local populations.
“ICCAT scientists are clear this year that the fishing quotas must not increase to enable Atlantic bluefin tuna to fully recover over the next decade,” Tudela said.” WWF calls on ICCAT contracting parties to stick to this recommendation.” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
For years Google has had to address many claims of unfairly swaying searches in their own favor or rigging things so certain websites get top rankings. It’s something that Google Webmaster Trends Analyst John Mueller has to contend with on a regular basis.
Even though John hosts Webmaster Central hangout chats to answer people’s questions directly, some people still think Google doesn’t shoot them straight. In one of the latest hangout chat sessions, John addressed the issue head on since it’s come up frequently in the past. He reassured participants that, from his personal experience, claims Google is misleading people are nothing more than a myth.
Google Wants Webmasters to Make Technically Sound Sites
One of the first things John pointed out is the fact that it doesn’t make sense for Google to purposely provide misinformation in his hangout chat sessions. We agree that providing webmasters with inaccurate information wouldn’t be logical, at least in this scenario.
Google’s main objective is delivering the best search results. That all starts with high quality websites. Most of the answers that John provides is advice on how to make a website more technically sound and searchable, which benefits both Google and the website.
Information Gets Double Checked With Engineers
Google may not purposely provide misinformation, but maybe John is just incorrect in some of the things he says. That’s another claim that’s been made by more than one webmaster. John assured webmasters that when they receive a question they consult with engineers beforehand to make sure the answer they provide is accurate. When John gets an impromptu question during a chat session he’s careful to note if he isn’t 100% certain and will usually point the person towards another resource for verification.
Advice is Based on Current Algorithms, Not Future Updates
Google algorithms change frequently. Of course, insiders at Google know what’s in the pipeline before the changes take effect. However, they can’t provide advice based on the algorithm update until it actually happens. That means John and his team have to go off of what’s currently in place.
It’s not an issue of Google trying to withhold information. It’s an issue of following the parameters that are currently being used, even if they’ll change in the near future. Nothing is certain until it happens, so it would be irresponsible for John to provide guidance based something that isn’t a certainty.
Advice provided in the hangout chat sessions is based on the current state of things at that time. When algorithm updates occur the information could then become outdated. If webmasters want suggestions based on the steady state that’s continuously evolving, John suggested using the Google Help Center as a resource. The information there is updated as soon as a change occurs, whereas blogs and videos aren’t refreshed.
Website owners can trust SearchRPM to provide accurate, up-to-date information on all SEO matters. Our team works every day to stay current on all the latest algorithm updates and best practices rather than relying on information from the past. And no matter how search evolves, we always use effective white hat practices to improve the technical foundation, content and marketability of a website.

- Service Objects, the leading provider of real-time global contact validation solutions, today announced it will be hosting a live, informational webinar on the topic of “The Role of Data Quality in the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR),” on January 24, 2018 at 9:00am.
Businesses can incur fines up to $20 million Euros or 4% of a company’s annual revenue for not complying with the GDPR.
Geoff Grow, CEO, Service Objects
This interactive event will feature data quality expert Tom Redman, President of Data Quality Solutions, who will provide an overview of the regulation recently enacted by the EU, and why US businesses need to pay attention. He will also discuss how engaging in data quality best practices not only makes it easier to achieve compliance, but also makes good business sense.
According to Forrester Research, 80% of firms affected by the GDPR will not be able to comply with the regulation by the May 2018 deadline. Seeing the important role that data quality plays in complying with GDPR, Service Objects decided to host a webinar to provide information to those looking to get started.
“Businesses can incur fines up to $20 million Euros or 4% of a company’s annual revenue for not complying with the GDPR,” said Geoff Grow, Founder and CEO of Service Objects. “GDPR requires that every effort is taken to keep contact data accurate and up-to-date. Service Objects’ data quality solutions can help businesses meet this requirement, as well as identify which contacts reside in the EU and therefore fall under the GDPR.”
To register for this complimentary webinar, click here. All those who register will also receive a link to the recording after the event, as well as an informational white paper on the topic of GDPR.

More Than Half of Car Crashes in Georgia Are Caused By Distracted Drivers
The increasing seriousness of distracted driving in the U.S. has become more and more clear in recent years, as the number of accidents caused by this kind of negligent driving continue to rise. One recent study, however, has revealed just how significant the problem has become in Georgia, where distracted driving is now thought to be responsible for as many as 53 percent of all car accidents in the state.
All Distractions Are Dangerous While Driving
Unfortunately, the report published by the Georgia Governor’s Office of Highway Safety doesn’t reveal which types of distractions are most common. Instead, it covers all three major types of distracted driving behaviors: manual, visual, and cognitive. What is known, however, is that the more categories under which a certain activity falls, the more perilous it is for the driver to engage in it. Texting and driving, for instance, is one of the most dangerous activities because it involves all three types of distraction, taking a driver’s eye off the road, hands off the wheel, and attention off of the act of driving.
Distracted Driving Accidents Can Cause Serious Injuries
The recent report also revealed that distracted driving-related crashes tend to have more serious repercussions than collisions with other causes. For instance, 30 percent of all crashes resulting in a serious injury involved some sort of distraction. This trend is largely attributable to the fact that distracted drivers rarely try to make evasive maneuvers to avoid a collision, as they are too focused on their distraction to notice (until it is too late) of the impending danger. Pedestrians and cyclists also seem to bear the brunt of the damage caused by distracted drivers, with at least 13 percent of distracted driving victims involving these two groups.
Certain Age Groups Are More Prone to Distracted Driving
Any driver can be guilty of driving while distracted, regardless of age or sex. The Georgia study, however, did indicate that certain age groups are more at risk of engaging in distracting activities while driving. Specifically, drivers between the ages of 15 and 24 years old were responsible for more than one-quarter of all distracted driving-related crashes in Georgia in 2022. This age group also received more citations for distracted driving after an accident than any other age group.

The new distracted driving statistics published in the most recent Georgia Governor’s Office of Highway Safety report are alarming to anyone who spends time on the road in our state. While we can take steps to ensure that we aren’t the cause of a distracted driving-related accident, there is no way to guarantee that other road users will be as careful. If you end up injured in a crash because of another driver’s distraction, you do have legal recourse. Call the experienced Marietta distracted driving accident attorneys at Shiver Hamilton Campbell today to learn more about seeking compensation from the at-fault party who caused your own crash. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

What are your top recommendations for new ecommerce entrepreneurs?
Before you start building your new site take a significant portion of time to look at your competition and find out what they are not doing for the customer, find something that you do that is unique and special and make that your focal point. Also when designing your site take a look at other selling sites and see what they are doing to be successful, ask current customers, employees, friends and family what they look for when shopping online. The worst thing that can happen is making the wrong choice on design and having a site that sells the most amazing product in the world but is an eyesore and next to impossible to shop. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Finland has recently witnessed a lively debate over the amount and level of competence in commercialisation in the country, or more precisely, lack thereof. The Helsinki School of Economics and some of its stakeholders have set such great store by the issue that they have launched a StratMark project lasting several years with the aim of improving strategic marketing competence in this country.
Sitra’s Food and Nutrition Programme (ERA) has addressed the issue from the very start. When the programme was launched in 2005, Kai Seikku, CEO of HK Ruokatalo Group food manufacturers, stirred up the audience by giving various examples of how much better the Swedes – again – have been at commercialisation. The strategy report launched by ERA in spring 2006 stated that the development of commercialisation competence was one of the most central proposals made in it. From the beginning of this year, the ERA Commercialisation Team began its work, chaired by Bertel Paulig, Chairman of the Board, Paulig Ltd coffee manufacturers.
Why have we fallen behind the Swedes in this matter?
There are probably many reasons. One might be that Finns are extremely domestic market oriented. This attitude has roots in history.
For centuries, the Vikings in our neighbouring Nordic countries have set out to seek conquests even in distant countries beyond the seas, all the way to North America. Finns in turn settled for expanding into the nearby regions, Southern Finns going on forays no further than Lapland. In the 20th century, Finland underwent three difficult wars. Food rationing continued long after the Second World War had ended, until the mid-1950s. Many still remember the ration books that were required when shopping for food. Price control continued even longer, for some products until as late as the late 1980s. The prices of key foodstuffs were regulated by the authorities; competition played no real role.
The importation of foods, particularly agricultural produce, was regulated until Finland joined the EU. In this light it is quite understandable that the Finnish food companies have focused their operations entirely on the domestic markets. Export was mainly to get rid of agricultural surplus – often as a final option. Soviet trade also played a key role, but ran on a wholly different set of rules.
In terms of marketing, this meant that companies focused on creating strong brands for the domestic market. And they certainly succeeded! According to a trade magazine for marketing and advertising professionals, the most valued brand in Finland was a food brand: Fazer Blue chocolate! The strongest foreign food brand was ranked as low as 30th, and was surpassed by Juhla Mokka (coffee), Valio (dairy products), Vaasan Ruispalat (bread), Elovena (oatmeal) and seven other Finnish brands.
So if Finnish companies reign supreme on the Finnish market, why not internationally, like the Swedish ones? What else are we missing other than investments?
One explanation is offered by the Danish futures researcher Rolf Jensen. He argues in his book Dream Society that the information society will be followed by the dream society. His thoughts are akin to Maslow’s well-known theory. As well-being increases, consumers will seek increasingly more satisfaction at the emotional level. Sensations and experiences will be a particularly sought-after commodity. Jensen urges marketing professionals to approach markets as being dependent on emotions and develop for each brand a story of its own that will appeal to people’s feelings and values. Naturally, the story should be unique, intriguing and relevant to the brand.
If a brand intends to succeed internationally, it should tell a story that has universal appeal and relevance. Since the Finnish food industry has only borne the Finnish consumer in mind when developing brands, the stories behind them are targeted at Finns, written from the Finnish perspective and rooted in Finnish culture. When these brands were created, insufficient if any attention was given to the international consumer.
A classic case in point is Turun Sinappi mustard. Its story has a solid foundation in Finnish food tradition, alluded to by the image of the medieval Turku Castle on the packaging. Finns intuitively get the patriotic message, they love it, and the product has long been the market leader. But no Swede will understand the story, let alone the Berlusconis of Italy.
Although there is obviously much room for improvement in Finnish marketing skills, there are also examples that stand to our credit. In the past few years, the Finnish beverage industry has shown that it can design a brand that is international from the very start. The meat and processed food industry has done its homework and read its Jensens and Maslows: its marketing has been seasoned with a good measure of emotions and ambience.
The road to better competence in commercialisation is long and rocky. The main thing, however, is that the first important steps on that road have now been taken. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Facing jail time for a DUI charge can be nerve-wracking. Not only could a conviction mean you spend time behind bars, but you may lose your license, need to pay fines, or face other collateral losses.
Luckily, Pennsylvania offers a solution that allows you to avoid jail time — the Restrictive Probation Program. Learn more about the program, how to apply, and how a criminal defense lawyer can help you with your DUI charges.
The Restrictive Probation Program (RPP) in Pennsylvania is a way to avoid or reduce jail time by following strict rules and getting help.
RPP is designed to give people a second chance by providing close supervision and support, like counseling and regular check-ins.
To qualify for RPP, you typically need to be a nonviolent offender, often a first-time or second-time offender. People with serious or violent crimes usually are not eligible.
Each county might have slightly different rules, but you need to show you are willing to follow the program and have a good chance of benefiting from it.
If you do not meet the program’s requirements, you could face serious consequences, including going to jail. Missing meetings, failing drug tests, or committing new crimes are common reasons for failing.
The exact penalties depend on what you did wrong and the terms of your probation.
To apply for RPP, you should contact your local probation office or the court handling your case.
In West Chester, for example, you would get in touch with the Chester County Probation and Parole Department. They can give you the application forms and explain the process.
After you submit your application, keep copies of everything. Use any online tools provided by your county to check your application’s status. Stay in touch with your probation officer or the department to make sure everything is moving along.
It is possible to fight DUI charges and apply for an RPP on your own, but working without a criminal defense lawyer with experience fighting DUIs is a risky choice.
A West Chester County DUI defense lawyer can be a valuable asset for your case. Besides helping to fight your charges with evidence and other strategies, an attorney can help you with various aspects of your RPP.
Your attorney can help you:
Finding the right attorney with experience and compassion is essential to protecting your future.
RPP can help you reduce or avoid jail, provide you with structured support, and offer access to counseling and other helpful programs to get your life back on track.
It varies by county and your specific situation, but it usually takes a few weeks to a few months.
Yes, if your application is denied, you can appeal the decision. The denial letter will explain how to do this, and it is important to follow all the instructions and deadlines carefully.
To help you succeed, you can access counseling, job training, and education programs and have regular meetings with your probation officer.
Common reasons include a history of violent crimes, incomplete applications, missing documents, or not showing enough potential for rehabilitation.
Besides the standard RPP, there are a variety of diversionary programs in Pennsylvania.
Each program is designed to provide support and structure to help participants succeed and avoid jail time.
An RPP can help you avoid jail time in your DUI case. Having the right partner in your corner to help you apply for RPP or other diversionary programs is crucial.
As a former prosecutor, attorney Michael Skinner understands how challenging a DUI charge is. He has helped many clients fight their charges, and he’s ready to hear your story. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

It turned out after I posted that round-up of all the things I’d baked since the pandemic began, I went and baked a few more things.
I figured if the GBBO contestants could do it, why couldn’t I? Turns out there is a learning curve to piping marshmallow, and coating a cookie entirely with chocolate is hard. My fans didn’t care that Paul Hollywood wouldn’t give me a handshake for these.
Then Purim was upon me and I had to make hamentaschen. Usually I stick to the Joan Nathan prune filling, because that is my favorite (I always double this recipe), but I got on a brown butter kick so I had to give these Smitten Kitchen brown butter apricot hazelnut hamentaschen a try:
Turns out while these are delicious, prune still holds the top spot in my heart. I have a vegan roll out cookie dough recipe I modified years ago from the back of some packaging:
I have been looking for thumbprint cookies recipes forEVER and I finally found the perfect one:
After the thumbprints i was ready to dive back into the marshmallow sandwich cookie, this time a malt chocolate and marshmallow:
At some point I was thinking it would be fun to add cinnamon and a little cayenne for a Mexican hot chocolate twist.
Tea cakes started showing up. I had no control! They just busted in:
Followed by a lemony turmeric tea cake:
And then I had to make Ottolenghi’s blueberry, almond and lemon cake, but with raspberries and lime:
I took a little detour into savory, with this chili crisp. If Sohla could do it, so could I. I shared it with two friends, who had to go and make their own batches. It’s pretty easy, just takes a bit of time (in my case it took about 3 hours total).
A friend posted this brownie cookie sandwich with cookie dough buttercream and I HAD to try them:
Another foray into aquafaba macarons with better results:
And a red wine chocolate cake, with that buttercream frosting piped on top (and a layer of ganache hiding underneath). Decadent!
I am almost fully vaccinated, two-weeks post second vaccine shot, and I have a feeling the next thing I bake will be shared with friends in a gathering. I don’t know what to expect, but whatever happens, it will be sweet. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Hong Kong, 9th May 2024, ZEX PR WIRE, The team working at MAOCAT has recently acknowledged the great success of the project’s presale fundraising round. With this operation, they have managed to raise a significant amount and attract the attention of investors and meme fans.
The project’s diverse ecosystem, featuring staking, farming, launchpad, and NFT marketplace functionalities, is proving appealing. With many memecoins failing to gain traction in the presale stage, MAOCAT is already standing out in this sector.
A Rare Successful Presale Story
Crypto enthusiasts know that presales are a crucial phase for any project, where success is elusive. While many projects have not even managed to survive the presale phase, MAOCAT has already managed to raise over $300,000. This means that the team has already allocated more than half of the available tokens for the presale.
The presale token quantity stands at 3,000,000,000 tokens, while the total supply is 5,000,000,000 MAOCAT tokens. This means the team reserved 60% of the total supply (3,000,000,000 tokens) for the presale allocation. The remaining 40% will help fund future initiatives and ecosystem development for MAOCAT.
The presale will follow a gradual increase in token price, from $0.0015 per token in Phase 1 to $0.003 per token in later phases, with a selling quantity of 300,000,000 tokens per phase. The project also has a clear taxation structure:
- Marketing Tax: 3%
- Liquidity Pool (LP) Tax: 3%
- Development Tax: 2%
- Buy and Sell Taxes: 0%
This taxation structure aims to ensure the project’s long-term sustainability and growth. MAOCAT has already shown itself as a rare success story in presales, as its numbers are showing.
Building a Diversified Ecosystem with MAOCAT
The project’s ecosystem relies on various innovative features to provide a diverse and profitable experience. MAO CAT offers NFT minting, farming, launchpad, and a marketplace for trading and collecting.
These features allow users to participate in the fast-growing NFT market and earn from their investments. Additionally, the project’s fixed staking feature provides stability and rewards for holders of $MAO.
Future updates will also include the ability to launch tokens through the IDO process and acquire MAO CAT NFTs. With a diverse ecosystem, MAOCAT aims to capture various market segments and continue growing in popularity and value.
The rarity tiers of the 10,000 MAO CAT NFT collection offer unique benefits for holders. Moreover, the project plans to fairly mint and reveal these NFTs through different methods. With MAOCAT, users can benefit from owning rare and legendary NFTs while supporting the growth of the underlying project.
Derived from the Chinese word “máo,” MAOCAT is an Ethereum-based memecoin that has gained popularity worldwide. Thanks to its unique features and capabilities, MAOCAT aims to create a robust blockchain ecosystem with a strong community.
This team’s idea is to enter a market where dog-themed memecoins are prevailing and bring something fresh to the table. An early adopter of the project can easily participate in the presale on the Ethereum chain. In order to do so, one only needs to connect a wallet to the presale purchase window and send ETH.
With over $300,000 already raised in the presale round, MAOCAT has shown how serious it is about its vision. The project’s official website and whitepaper represent an easy-to-read, simple suite of information for any crypto enthusiasts. Furthermore, MAOCAT’s social pages constantly update the community on new developments and milestones.

Prediction and odds for the game: Chelsea (17/20) v Manchester United (7/2)
We are backing the home win
When: Monday 17th February 2020, Kick-off 8 PM
Where: Stamford Bridge
On Monday night, Chelsea host Manchester United at Stamford Bridge, in a game that could have big implications on the race for the Champions League spots in the Premier League.
Frank Lampard’s team are currently in the driving seat to finish in fourth spot in the Premier League this season. The Blues are two points clear of Sheffield United, who occupy fifth-place in the table and four points clear of sixth-place Spurs.
The home side has not been in great form of late, as they have won just once in their last five Premier League games. The Blues last two league outings have finished in 2-2 draws against Arsenal and last time Leicester.
Lampard’s team have proven very generous to the opposition of late in the Premier League, as they have kept just one clean sheet in their last seven league outings.
Chelsea’s usually pretty consistent home form has dipped in recent games, as the Blues have won just two of their six league matches on home soil, suffering three defeats in the process. Their recent home games have been relatively low-scoring in the Premier League.
The Red Devils have struggled for consistency of late in the Premier League, winning just one of their last five league games, while suffering three defeats in the process.
Last time out in the English top-flight, United drew 0-0 with Wolves at Old Trafford. The result means that the Red Devils have failed to score in their last three top-flight matches. They have never to score in four Premier League outings. In fact, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team has now scored in just one of their last four matches. The visitors are struggling to score goals without the injured Marcus Rashford, who is still sidelined with a back problem.
United have been poor travellers of late in the Premier League, suffering three defeats in their last four away matches. Once again, issues with scoring goals have popped up in those away defeats, as United failed to score in all three losses.
However, one positive for United heading to the English capital is that they have lost just one of their last seven meetings with the Blues in all competitions. On current, that record is in major danger of worsening in this clash.
In terms of form, neither have a great recent record in the Premier League. However, we are edging towards a home win in this clash, as United have looked just so devoid of attacking threat in recent matches. Also, with that in mind, we are backing the under 2.5 goals scored too, as Chelsea have been inconsistent in front of goal on home soil of late.
Verdict: We are backing the home win at odds of 17/20 and/or the under 2.5 goals scored at odds of 10/11. (All odds are taken from Bet365).

I immediately thought, Oh no! Another scam, but like most of us, the curious could more, and I kept reading. And it was still saying that you send $1.00 to each of the 6 names and addresses referred to in this article. Then you write your name and address at the end of the list (#6) replacing the # 1 (later I explain as), and send or put this article to at least 200 newsgroups (there are thousands worldwide). No trick, that was all. The big difference between this system and others is that you have a list of 6 instead of 5. This means that your average gain will be approximately 15 times greater! After thinking it over and over again, and first consulting with some friends, I decided to try it. Do I thought that the only thing that could lose were 6 stamps and $6.00, truth?. As probably many of us, it was a little worried about the legality of all this.
I then consulted with the Central mail of Mexico and confirmed me that it was in fact legal!. Then I invested my $6.00 imagine!. 7 days, I started to receive money by mail!. I was surprised! still thought this It will end soon, and I didn’t think more else. But the money kept coming. In my first week I made about $20.00 to $30.00 dollars. By the end of the second week I had made a total of more than $1,000.00! In the third week I received more than $10,000.00 and still yet more coming.
This is my fourth week and I did a total of more than $41,000.00 and this still coming more quickly. This was serious! All this was really worth investment of $6.00 and 6 stamps. Spent me more than that on sweepstakes and Lotteries! Let me explain how this works and most importantly why works so well, is very simple and logical, think that interest can I have I, in which EA send 1 dollar fraud is impossible to someone who is on the other side of the world, and the trouble to only write and send this note by a dollar, so if you have common sense not dudara in entering the cadena.Ud. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Church scandals that shook the country in 2018
In 2018, SA witnessed church scandals that left the country in shock.
The rise of unregulated charismatic churches in South Africa has resulted in people being exposed to preachers who often dominate the headlines. And it’s not always good news.
Some problematic church practices led the Commission for the Promotion and Protection of Cultural, Religious and Linguistic Communities (CRL) to conclude that "there must be a regulatory framework”" to curb undignified and sometimes criminal activities in houses of God.
In 2018, there was no shortage of scandalous conduct linked to churches.
Mancoba Seven Angels Church
In February, leaders of the Mancoba Seven Angels Ministry were involved in a bloody shootout that left five police officers dead. A retired soldier and three Mancoba brothers were also killed.
Police recovered stolen firearms on church premises and arrested six men for the murders of law-enforcement officials.
End Times Disciples Church
Penuel Mnguni first came under scrutiny in 2015, when images of him feeding congregants what appeared to be a live snake went viral.
In another incident, Mnguni’s followers were treated to rat meat.
In October, Mnguni’s propensity to feed people animals saw him allegedly put dog meat on the menu.
A video posted on the End Times Disciples Ministries Facebook page showed Mnguni promising that anyone who suffered from "HIV, diabetes, cancer and whatever" would be "healed".
He declared that his prayers had turned the dog meat into "the flesh of Jesus Christ".
Controversial "prophet" Shepherd Bushiri is known for his lavish lifestyle, but he attracted the attention of the Hawks only after church members reported him.
Leaders at his Enlightened Christian Gathering Church claimed Malawi-born Bushiri was sending about R15m to his home country each month.
The accusations came after Bushiri allegedly intimidated his staff when they demanded payment for helping him perform "miracles".
"People are bought to testify. They are bought to act sick and crippled, and later give testimony that they were healed by prophet Bushiri," said a Hawks official.
The Hawks are investigating Bushiri for money-laundering.
In March, the Anglican Church of Southern Africa came under the spotlight when four people came forward with claims of sexual abuse.
The incidents were alleged to have taken place in the church’s dioceses during the 1970s and 1980s.
"It is clear from the experiences reported in the past few weeks that we are lagging in our care for victims of abuse," said Anglican Archbishop Thabo Makgoba.
In October, the church adopted a new policy to protect congregants. Makgoba said anyone who wanted to be ordained would have to supply the church with a police clearance certificate.
Leader of the Jesus Dominion International church, Timothy Omotoso, can certainly be counted among this year’s biggest newsmakers.
The "man of God", fondly referred to by his followers as "Daddy", was arrested in April last year.
Omotoso and his co-accused, Lusanda Solani and Zukiswa Sitho, face 63 charges, including rape and human trafficking.
Social media rallied behind Cheryl Zondi when she testified about allegedly having been raped by Omotoso from the age of 14.
Omotoso’s defence counsel, Peter Daubermann, would later apply to have judge Mandela Makhura recuse himself from the case, accusing the judge of being "overly sympathetic" to Zondi.
That application was dismissed. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Bird strike caused fatal helicopter crash in Umgeni river, CAA finds
Investigators probing a helicopter crash into the Umgeni river in Durban say a bird strike was to blame.
Pilot Derek Fitzgerald, 34, and student pilot Richard Morgan, 31, were killed on May 3 when their Robinson R22 plunged into the river near Parlock from about 500ft.
An SA Civil Aviation Authority investigation found feathers and blood on the tail of a plane, and a witness standing at a bus stop said he saw a flock of birds taking off from reeds in the river as the blue and white helicopter approached.
“One of the birds impacted the tail rotor and the tail cone was severed,” said the CAA report. “The helicopter then pitched down and spun out of control in a nose-down attitude with the main rotor flailing, and later crashed.”
The helicopter landed in a sandbank and reeds next to a bridge carrying the N2 over the river, and media reports at the time said vagrants living under the bridge made off with parts of the wreckage.
The crash happened 14 minutes after the Starlite Aviation helicopter took off from Virginia Aerodrome during a training flight for Morgan, a father of four from Hillcrest.
“The duo ... headed south towards the general flying area where they intended to perform confined area operation exercises,” said the accident report.
“After flying over the bridge, a bird impacted the helicopter’s tail rotor blade. The tail rotor blade subsequently cut through the tail cone skin and in the process, the tail rotor control bell-crank, the tail rotor driveshaft and the stabiliser were severed.
“The helicopter pitched down and spun out of control, whereafter, it crashed into the reeds on the bank of Umgeni River.
“No fire was reported after the accident. The helicopter was destroyed by impact forces and both occupants were fatally injured.”
A friend of Morgan's family, John-Mark Simmons, told Sunday Times Daily in May that the businessman's wife Amelia and their children, aged between six and 14, were devastated.
“Richard was a skydiver and he was learning to fly helicopters. He loved it; it was his thing,” said Simmons.
“He had a huge heart. He set up a fully-fledged kitchen for his staff of about 30 and fed them three meals a day. He never wanted anybody to be hungry.”
Simmons described Morgan, who ran engineering firm MorganCoat, as a “creative genius” who was into robotics and virtual reality.
“When Covid-19 came he bought those prefab containers onto site as temporary residences for his staff so they would be in a safe environment.
Ross Rodgers of the Olive Tree Church in Morningside, Durban, said on Facebook he was devastated by Fitzgerald’s death.
“Derek was one of the best young men I have ever met.”
The church said in a post that Fitzgerald served “in a large capacity throughout the years at Olive Tree and meant a great amount to us as a friend”. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
All my focus is on Afcon, says Darren Keet
Amid the uncertainty surrounding his future, Bafana Bafana goalkeeper Darren Keet has reiterated his attention is solely on the national team.
Keet is currently in Dubai with Bafana, preparing for the Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon), which starts next Friday in Egypt. SA are pitted against Namibia, Morocco and Ivory Coast in Group D.
SportsLIVE Podcast: Burger Hands, Miguel & the Proteas Soap Opera
Prior to joining the national team camp, Keet had been at loggerheads with his club, Bidvest Wits, after he refused to renew his contract. This sparked concerns that the
29-year-old keeper may not be in the right frame of mind ahead of Afcon.
Nevertheless, Keet has moved swiftly to allay any fears regarding his mindset and said he solely aims to help Bafana do well in Egypt while he has left his contractual disagreement with the Students to his agent.
"I have got my agent dealing with that [his future], so I am not too bothered about that. My job now is to focus on what we are doing in Dubai as we go to Egypt for the first game that is fast approaching," Keet said.
"Now we've got a friendly against Ghana [tomorrow at 5.30pm SA time in Dubai] and then Angola [on Wednesday]. Come Ivory Coast [who they open against at Afcon on June 24], that's where my focus is on at the moment."
The departing Clever Boys shot-stopper is believed to be holding out for an overseas transfer. However, he revealed that he has not received any overseas offers.
"The overseas issue is not a problem for me. My agent is dealing with the matter and they will let me know accordingly," noted the Bafana goalie.
Boasting Mamelodi Sundowns gems such as Hlompho Kekana and Themba Zwane, among others, who have vast knowledge of competing on the continent, gives Keet hope that Bafana will stake their claim at Afcon.
"I think for SA it shows with our teams lately in the CAF Champions League and things like that, that we are capable of achieving a lot," said Keet.
"Our national team at the moment is no different; we've got good players, good spirit and good mentality. We want to do well, play well for the country and make the country proud." | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
