Guns in wrong hands SA Mass Killings

-
 When people talk about “guns in the wrong hands,” they usually mean the risks that come up when firearms are accessed or used by people who are likely to cause harm—intentionally or accidentally. Here’s a clear, high-level way to look at it: Why it’s a problem Increased violence: Guns make conflicts far more deadly when used in crimes or impulsive situations. Accidents: Unsecured firearms can lead to accidental injuries, especially involving kids or teens. Suicide risk: Easy access to guns raises the danger during moments of crisis. Theft and trafficking: Poor storage can allow guns to be stolen and end up in criminal circulation. Common ways guns end up in the “wrong hands” Unsafe storage (unlocked, loaded, or accessible at home) Illegal sales or straw purchasing (someone buying a gun for another person) Theft from homes or cars Lack of training or oversight What helps reduce the risk Safe storage: Locked, unloaded, with ammunition stored separately. Education: Teaching ...

Manchester United striker Edinson Cavani returns home ahead of new season

-


Uruguayan forward Cavani is raring to go ahead of the new Premier League campaign.

Edinson Cavani is back in Manchester

Edinson Cavani has returned 'home' to Manchester ahead of the new season.

Manchester United will get their Premier League campaign under way on Saturday as they take on bitter rivals Leeds United at Old Trafford.

Preparations for the season have been far from ideal for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, with several members of his squad being unavailable for large chunks — as they were given extended holidays following participation in the summer's international tournaments.

Cavani is one of them, after starting all five of Uruguay's games in their run to the Copa America quarter-finals, playing the full 90 minutes in four of them, scoring twice.

As a result, and following the birth of his new child, the veteran striker was handed an even longer break and has only just returned to base in the Manchester area.

Cavani posted a photograph on Twitter on Thursday night with himself and his family in the garden of his home, accompanied with the caption: "Back at home, this year we'll be 4 for this new adventure."

It's not yet clear if the 34-year-old has only just arrived back from Uruguay or not, or whether he will have to undergo a period of isolation, with the South American country currently on the UK's red travel list.

Government rules for people entering the UK from a red list country state they must 'quarantine for 10 full days in a managed quarantine hotel' and take two Covid-19 tests.

Even if Cavani has already completed his quarantine period, it's highly unlikely that he will be involved against Leeds — but he has been keeping his fitness up by working out in the gym.

Fighting Drug addiction

-
 Here's the story: We sat down with a man who had a harrowing journey with addiction. He began by telling us about his early days in tertiary education, where he would occasionally smoke dagga with friends. However, his focus remained on his studies, and he worked hard to graduate and secure a qualification. After landing a job, he started building a life for himself. He got married, bought a property, and even splurged on a car. Life was good, and he felt like he was on top of the world. But one fateful night, while out with friends, he was introduced to heavier narcotics. At first, the experience was exhilarating. He described it as an elevation from the mild high of dagga to a level 5 high, where he felt invincible and euphoric. The effects would last for days, allowing him to party from Friday to Sunday without sleep. The problem, however, began to manifest on Mondays and Tuesdays every week, when the withdrawal symptoms would kick in, and he'd struggle to function at work....

Ultra-Widebody Volkswagen Bus "Volkswide" Looks Like a Porsche Racing Van

  Home   >   News   >   Renderings It's easy to understand why a muscle car or a Ferrari is cool - the big engine and cool body. But car culture is also influenced by television, rarity, or simply a generation growing up with a particular vehicle. The Volkswagen Bus is a perfect example of this because it's slow, not sporty-looking, yet it can cost a lot of money.  16 photos The Bus is perhaps one of the least understood collectibles, right up there with bubble cars. You see them grabbing huge money at auctions, making it difficult to visualize why somebody wouldn't rather have a Ferrari or some 1960s Mustang. Comedian Gabriel Iglesias is known as the VW Bus King, as his collection of Vdubs is reportedly worth in excess of $3 million. The Hoonigan crew recently did a feature video, but we still had trouble picturing the value of these vehicles. Fortunately, there's a set of renderings that takes the visuals of the Microbus to the level where everybody...
