THE HOUSE THAT FORGOT HOW TO LAUGH

-
 There was no love missing in our house, because there was no love left to miss.That was our secret. We were not sad. Sad would have been easier.In House 24, 2nd Street, Germiston - the Molefes were perfect.6:00 AM - Alarm. 6:15 AM - Mom in the kitchen. The sound of the spoon against the pot. Same pot. Same porridge. Every day for 7 years. 6:30 AM - Dad at the table. Phone brightness on his face. He nods at Mom. Mom nods back. That's their good morning. 6:45 AM - Me and Junior. We eat with the TV on mute. Mom says TV at breakfast rots your brain, so we watch the pictures move with no sound.No one shouts. No one throws plates. Our neighbors who scream at each other at night - they have more life than us.We just... live. We pay. We eat. We sleep. We repeat.Then Mrs. Khumalo gave us the project."Grade 4s, for Life Skills this week: Record 10 moments your family laughed together."I took my pink notebook home like it was gold.DAY 1 - Monday I wrote the date and waited. Dinner....

AT LONG LAST

I love you with all my heart Wishes are crippling my mind My soul wants the best for you For you bring light into my life You bring happiness Your presents always give me comfort During tough times and times of joy. I have adopted myself to you And God has always filled my cup with water. Enhancing a flourishing way of life Whose graph is always at the pinnacle? The top most, we cherished. Time and time has passed, The dry North Westerly winds has blown through With its inland temperatures, dry without moisture. Engulfing the whole surrounding Leaving my cup dry, I felt like am in a desert. Totally dry with nowhere to seek refuge. The wind has gone with all l had Leaving me in the darkness, no love, no happiness Nor the comfort I use to enjoy. Deep inside my heart l am burning, l pray to God For they say his will shall prevail and in him my cup will be filled again. Hello my love, hello my darling hello hello hello……………….. I wish if the...

US resumes some Bahrain arms sales for 'external defence' The US says the equipment it is supplying will not be used against protesters Continue reading the main story Bahrain Protests Meeting Bahrain's hunger striker Bahrain police 'still torturing' Profile: Abdulhadi al-Khawaja Grand Prix back on track? The United States is resuming sales of some weapons to Bahrain, but says it will not supply the Gulf state with any crowd control equipment. The US State Department says the shipment will help Bahrain "maintain its external defence capabilities." Arms sales were frozen last year after the Bahraini government suppressed pro-democracy demonstrations. Amnesty International says 60 people have been killed since the protests began in February 2011. It is thought a frigate and other coast guard vessels will be supplied, along with upgraded engines for F-16 fighters. The State Department says an order for Humvee all-terrain vehicles...

This New Ultralight Aircraft May Be World’s Fastest Single-Engine Business Jet

-

  The speedy LAR-01's automotive interior adds comfort and luxury. Plus: The wings detach, so the jet can be stored in a home garage. By  MICHAEL VERDON           Courtesy Flaris The  Flaris  LAR-01 has a number of striking stats, including being a ton lighter (literally) than its competitors, along with an unusually short-field landing capability, and detachable wings. But its most impressive number is the 250-knot true air speed, which its designers say makes it the world’s fastest business jet among single-engine very light jets and turboprop aircraft. Flaris says recent tests “confirmed the assumptions made previously” about the effectiveness of multiple systems, including its Garmin G600 avionics and Flaris Flight Assistance System flight computer, as well as the landing gear and emergency parachute system. But it also claims more impressive stats like the 250-knot TSA at 10,000 feet. Its 6,000-feet-per-minute climb rate, adds the compan...

800 HP Bronze Lamborghini Urus With Mansory Carbon Kit Is Worth $500,000

  Home   >   News   >   Tuning The Lamborghini Urus is easily the most famous performance SUV in the world, but it's not peerless. German twin-turbo SUVs have begun to give it some trouble. While the Italians still don't offer any performance gains, you can always drop  $500,000 on a tuned version.  9 photos This is the  Lamborghini Urus P820 Venatus by Mansory.  Even though the internet has almost unanimously decided it's ugly, we counted at least four others that must have been sold already. If your target is to confirm you've got way too much money to spend, it really gets the message across. The highlight of this particular build is the  Bronzo Zenas  paint finish, which is synonymous with another expensive Lamborghini, the Aventador SVJ Roadster, which presented this particular metallic shade at its Geneva 2019 debut. And while the Urus usually makes "only" 640 horsepower, this thing is more than a match for the SVJ (770 ...

How High Do Planes Fly: A Ceiling Height Comparison

  by Sumit Singh March 5, 2021 55 shares 55 3 minute read Advertisement: We often cover factors such as speed and range when analyzing passenger jets from across the globe. However, today, we thought we’d take a look at another aspect of these aircraft. Let’s compare the altitude abilities of the planes we know and love. Which jets stand out above the clouds? Photo: Getty Images For this article, we will be assessing the altitude by maximum service ceiling. The  EAA  shares that the definition of service ceiling is the height above sea level at which an aircraft with normal-rated load “is unable to climb faster than 100 feet per minute under standard air conditions.” Overall, the service ceiling is the maximum usable altitude of a plane. So, here is a comparison of the factor when it comes to the world’s major modern commercial jet families in service. Stay informed:  Sign up for our  daily  and  weekly  aviation news digests!
