How Strong Are Log Splitters Really?
An open fireplace or wood burner holds the power to give any place a feeling of warmth and comfort. The thought of running out of firewood, however, can be frustrating. Most people use axes and manual splitters to cut logs for their fireplace. While these methods are fine, they can take a lot of time and effort. Wood splitters can be an excellent alternative in this case.
This equipment makes wood cutting a piece of cake, but you need the right one for the job. Different splitters are available in the market, including manual, electric, and fuel-powered ones. We've discussed the strengths of each of these types below, so, let's dig in.
Different Types of Log Splitters & Their Strengths
Manual splitters
Manual splitters rely on manual power and offer the least pressure for splitting wood. A pump-style manual splitter only works on 10-inch logs with a maximum of 10 tons of driving force. These are inexpensive and do a fine job if you're an occasional user.
Electric splitters
Offering the perfect middle ground between a manual and a gas-operated splitter, electric wood splitters use an electric motor as their power source. They offer significantly more pressure than manual ones. Typically, electric splitters can split 12-inch logs easily with six to ten tons of driving force.
On the flip side, these splitters don't produce any emissions or fumes, making them eco-friendly. Although they are slightly more expensive than manual ones, they're perfect for regular use, offering maximum value for money in the long run.
Gas or petrol splitters
The most expensive and powerful option is a gas or petrol wood splitter. This option runs on petrol and doesn't need a power cord, offering you more freedom of movement. On average, petrol splitters are available in 25 tons of driving force, but you can also find ones well over 30 tons. Due to their powerful driving force, these splitters are used in professional settings for splitting large diameter logs.
Choosing the Right Strength of Log Splitter
In order to choose a suitable wood splitter, you need to consider its tonnage. Splitter tonnage depends on the following factors:
Log diameter
Splitters apply pressure on the wood to split it along the grain. Cutting along the grain is easier, but if the log is thick, it needs more force to split. So, a four-ton splitter will work well if you have a six-inch log. A 24-inch log needs a 20-ton splitter.
Wood type
Firewood is usually of two types: green and seasoned. Greenwood is freshly cut and still has moisture, making it harder to cut. On the other hand, seasoned wood has dried for over six months and is now brittle, making it easier to split. So, you'll have to get a splitter depending on the type of wood you need splitting.
Wood density
Wood logs also have different densities, depending on the kind of trees they come from. Hardwood has less space between fibers, making it dense and harder to split through. On the other hand, softwood has fibers on distance, making it lighter and easier to split. So, you need to have enough tonnage to split through both and choose a splitter accordingly.
Wood splitters make the job easier, but you need the right machinery with the correct driving force. Otherwise, it won't be strong enough to cut through wood. Splitters come in different strengths, helping you split through logs of varying diameters and densities. Whether you're an occasional user or a frequent one, wood splitters come in different tonnages to cater to your needs.

He would be played by Donald Glover. Picture it! It's 2009 and we got to cast for this comic book movie, but wait, let's make it a Black movie. Quick, get that stand up comedian fresh off one season of Community and that Mystery Team movie he did with his friends that do the web skits.
In honor of the tenth anniversary (yesterday, August 13th) of one of my favorite movies ever, I thought it would be great to fix one of its biggest errors. Ain't no Black people in this fictional version of Toronto. The Edgar Wright adaptation of the Bryan Lee O'Malley comic has a cast that consists of several up and comers that went on to culturally impactful character roles of the millennial generation. Captain America (Chris Evans) and Captain Marvel (Brie Larson) alone should be enough to tell you that the casting was on point. Michael Cera, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Aubrey Plaza, Anna Kendrick, Mae Whitman, Brandon Routh (Superman!), and Kieran Culkin all continue working and being relevant in the entertainment industry. Thankfully, they all found time to do a table read of the entire script in honor of the 10th birthday of 'Scott Pilgrim Vs The World' (and charity) last month.
I'm in lesbians with this film, but I hate that no one here has my complexion or any traces of melanin. If this was 2009 and I was in charge of casting, this would be my cast:
- Romona Flowers – Tessa Thompson
- Knives Chau – Ellen Wong (No one could do it better! Also, she's not white.)
- Stacey Pilgrim – Lauren London
- Gideon "G-Man" Graves – Michael B. Jordan
- Roxy – Gabby Sidibe
- Todd Ingram – Lance Gross
- Wallace Wells – Damon Wayans Jr.
- Envy Adams – Meagan Good
- Stephen Stills – Brandon T. Jackson
- Kim Pine – Nicole Beharie
- Young Neil – Tristian "Mack" Wilds
- Julie Powers – Naturi Naughton (Yes, I know Aubrey Plaza isn't white, but this is my cast list.)
- Matthew Patel – Alfred Enoch
- Lucas Lee – Chadwick Boseman
- Vegan Police – Dwayne Johnson and Samuel L Jackson
- The Voice – Phil Lamaar
What do you think? Watch Scott Pilgrim vs the World Front on Netflix and picture this cast in your head while watching. Enjoy and peep the previously mentioned table read below.

Gallery5 hosts Ian Graham memorial service on Sunday
Giving his friends and co-workers a chance to celebrate "The Professor."
Update #3 — September 25, 2014; 11:18 AM
Friends and co-workers of Ian Graham, an RVA Magazine mainstay who recently died (see below), will gather Sunday at Gallery5 to swap stories, watch photo montages, listen to music, and raise glasses high to honor "The Professor."
Graham's family will hold a private ceremony on Saturday. The Sunday event at Gallery5 is open to everyone and runs from 6:00 – 10:00 PM.
In lieu of flowers, Ian's family asks donations be made to the ASPCA with no funds going toward producing "another one of those goddamn Sarah McLaughlin commercials."

Update #2 — September 16, 2014; 12:53 PM
The Ian Graham memorial fund has raised over $6,000 in under 24 hours, exceeding the fund's $5,000 goal (see post below).
Graham's family will receive $5,000 to help pay costs related to the passing of the RVA Mag editor and photographer (see bottommost post). Excess funds will go to the ASPCA in Graham's honor.

Update #1 — September 15, 2014; 4:56 PM
Friends of Ian Graham have created a memorial fund to help Graham's family pay costs related to his passing.
We want to provide the proper send-off for our friend and our brother, and help Ian's family with the financial burden of an unexpected death. This was not part of the plan, and Ian wasn't ready for this any more than any of us were. Ian's family were the most important thing in the world to him, and he would want to know that his passing would not be a financial burden to his loved ones.
The fund seeks to raise $5,000. Excess funds will go to the ASPCA in Graham's honor.

RVA Magazine editor, writer, and photographer Ian Graham died Sunday at Duke University Hospital from injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident that occurred last week. Graham was 32-years-old. He was admitted to the hospital late Wednesday with severe spinal cord damage following the incident.
Yesterday, Graham's sister wrote an emotional summary of events surrounding Graham's accident and passing:
More so, however, Ian would have never laughed again. He would have never told a joke or discussed his favorite music, movies, or books again. He could never again walk into a room just to have it light up by his presence. He could never again see a fresh blanket of snow, or feel the sun on his face and the wind in his hair. He would have never again drummed, or photographed, or danced like a maniac. He would never again hear any of your voices in his presence, or speak back, or give any of you that famous Ian hug. All of you have such beautiful, warm, and real memories of Ian and the time you spent with him. Please always remember those times; please always remember Ian's life. He loved living it.
Graham had been with the alt-magazine since its founding in 2005 and helped to kick off a revolution of local and independent media. Among his notable contributions (in addition to this interview with GWAR frontman Dave Brockie) was his arrest while photographing Occupy protestors at Kanawa Plaza in late 2011. Here's a short clip of Graham's arrest at the Occupy event, along with his statement the following day, excerpted from the documentary All Day, All Night.
RVA Magazine has posted a tribute to Graham, and Graham's Facebook page has become a memorial from friends and family.

The Gear VR is pretty much a must-have if you own one Samsung's top-of-the-line Galaxy Phones. It's a wonderful, if imperfect, introduction to virtual reality that's relatively attainable at only $100. But there's an even better deal happening on it right now at Best Buy: it's offering a Gear VR for free alongside most purchases of a Galaxy Note 5, Galaxy S6, Galaxy S6 Edge, or Galaxy S6 Edge+. The offer only runs through the end of today — so if you've been considering upgrading, now wouldn't be such a bad time. All of these phones are at relatively late points in their release cycles, too, so their prices have dropped. The S6, for instance, started at around $685 on AT&T, whereas it now sells for $585.
The one small catch with this deal is that Best Buy is only including a Gear VR with phones activated on a specific carrier — it isn't being offered alongside unlocked devices. That's probably not an issue for most people, however. As long as you choose a carrier, the Gear VR should be automatically added to your cart. You generally still have the choice of how to buy it, too, either by paying on a monthly installment plan or paying it all up front (in some cases, Best Buy is even still offering on-contract pricing, somehow).

This morning we got news of new costs borne by civilians in connection with the escalation of fighting that we've seen in the last weeks. This underscores what we know: that we must have implementation of Minsk, in full, now. The meeting yesterday in Berlin is a welcome step; this effort to jump-start the implementation of Minsk. The meeting underscored again that we need Minsk implementation in full, including monitoring of the international border, so that Russia's heavy weapons and fighters can be verified leaving Ukraine. So that the flow can be reversed. So that the resources that are fueling the violence can be stopped.
Diplomatic efforts like those in Berlin are necessary but not sufficient. No joint statement can replace action on the ground. The Trilateral Contact Group of Russia, Ukraine and the OSCE needs full support for its work to speed up full implementation of Minsk. And we must be cautious in welcoming the joint statement of last night because today's news is not good. In addition to the trolley, Russia-backed separatist attacks continue in multiple locations.
Yesterday, on the heels of a special Permanent Council meeting called to address the sharp increase in violence in eastern Ukraine, we received a report from the Special Monitoring Mission (SMM) in Ukraine about the January 19 artillery attack on Debaltseve, an attack that this morning's news suggests continues.
To quote from the report, "at least 30 Grad rockets impacted in and around the center of Debaltseve killing three civilians and wounding twelve. The SMM observed that rockets had caused significant damage to buildings and covered an area of approximately one square kilometer. A crater analysis performed by the SMM showed that the Grad rockets came from a western direction, the direction of 'DPR'-controlled Horlivka."
Rockets fired from separatist-controlled territory
This SMM report followed a similar report from January 17, in which the SMM informed us that the rockets that destroyed a civilian bus near Volnovakha on January 13 were fired from a north-north-eastern direction. That is, they were fired from separatist-controlled territory.
I have heard calls from some of my colleagues to avoid casting blame on any particular actor for incidents such as these. Their argument appears to be that casting blame raises tensions and undermines efforts to resolve the situation in eastern Ukraine peacefully. I agree that we should not throw about unfounded accusations. Responsibility should not be knowingly falsely assigned. But those who call for avoiding talking about responsibility, risk engaging in irresponsible behavior themselves.
Russia is attempting to cast doubt where there is none
The Russian Federation is attempting to cast doubt where there is none. It is attempting to place the blame on Ukraine for the recent lack of progress in negotiations and the surge in violence. It is attempting to mute the obvious dissonance between the words the Russian Federation uses here in Vienna and the deeds it carries out on the ground in Ukraine.
If Russia and the separatists it supports are serious about reaching a peaceful resolution to the conflict, they should implement the Minsk agreements. If Russia and the Russia-backed separatists are ready to honor the ceasefire, they must stop attacks in blatant violation of the September 5 and 19 agreements. If Russia is committed to a peaceful solution, it must stop sending weapons and personnel into eastern Ukraine – at the end of December over 100 pieces of heavy weapons from Russia were sent into Eastern Ukraine – and it must release all hostages and illegally detained persons, including Nadiya Savchenko and Oleg Sentsov.
Path to peace also requires Russia to end its occupation of Crimea
Colleagues, the path to peace in Ukraine is clear. It lies in full implementation of the Minsk Protocol and Memorandum. While the latest increase in violence in eastern Ukraine has compelled us all to make urgent calls for Russia to implement the Minsk agreements, let us not forget that the path to peace also requires Russia to end its occupation and attempted annexation of Crimea. This is a path that all must travel together. Ukraine has shown, time and again, its willingness to travel that path. Russia, and the separatists it backs, must show their willingness to do the same.
As delivered by Ambassador Daniel B. Baer to the Permanent Council, Vienna | January 22, 2015

Much love to Jerry Reed for the title.
Let me start by saying that the Titans are going to make some good moves in the wake of this departure, and I have absolute faith that we'll be brining home the AFC South trophy again next year. Albert would have been impossible to replace for most teams, but he' isn't for us. Jim Washburn is the one who is impossible to replace. As long as he's coaching our D-line we'll be dominant there. It's just science.
But back to the issue at hand: Albert Haynesworth, arguably the most dominate defensive lineman in Oilers/Titans history, is no longer a Titan. It's going to take a while for that to sink in.
Let me check my watch real quick... OK it's sunk in.
This wasn't a surprise and it certainly is a move that makes sense on all sides: Dan Snyder is an idiot who uses gold bullion as shims for his wobbly chairs. Albert is only going to get one shot at a contract this big in his whole life, so he'd be crazy to pass on an offer like this. The Titans have never signed the highest paid player in free agency, and they certainly don't spend like that on defensive linemen.
Of all parties involved, the pressure is on Mike Reinfeldt the most. In 2 years he's had some big hits (Griffin, Crazy Legs, great contracts for Roos, Stewart, Finnegan and Scott) and some epic misses (just ask Beans for the updated list). Last year when Albert would have been eligible for free agency Mikey decided to franchise the big man, but in a bid to keep him happy he placed reasonable benchmarks that would prevent the Titans from franchising him again should Albert reach them.
The upshot was a happy and motivated Albert crushed the competition yet again last year. Today we saw the downside of that deal.
I'm not so much upset that Albert was given an avenue to leave. You just don't build your entire franchise around a guy like Albert and that's what this contract demands. But you also don't ever let a guy like Albert leave without getting a cent in return. If the Titans would have kept the right to franchise, and just promised Albert that we wouldn't make him play under the tag, then we would still retain his rights and could negotiate a fee with whatever team he picked. You think Snyder wouldn't have thrown in a few high draft picks with this deal? The guy sells them off at pennies on the dollar and has for years.
Even if it weren't a king's ransom we'd have a consolation prize. Sure we'd be sacrificing leverage on our end, but teams would still bid over the right to keep Albert off the open market. He still would have had enough leverage to get silly money and the front office would have some ammo to bring balance and depth to the roster via trades and the draft.
Instead, the Titans gambled and got nothing. We'll probably get a 3rd round comp pick next year, but that hardly makes up for the loss of the best D-lineman in franchise history.
Mikey would be wise to use this cap space to revamp the WR corps, bring depth to both lines, and upgrade talent anywhere possible. Losing Albert doesn't negate the fact that we'll still be starting 6 guys who have been to the Pro Bowl over the last 2 years, including 3 guys in the secondary who played this year. It mostly means we'll have to go back to blitzing a little more under new defensive coordinator Chuck Cecil.
Still, a few extra second or third rounders would have helped ease the transition.

As promised, Microsoft Malaysia just opened pre-orders for its latest Windows tablet, the Microsoft Surface Pro 8. Retailing from RM4,950, five different configurations of the tablet are available in Malaysia.
Let's start with the RM4,950 base model of the Surface Pro 8. For that kind of money, you're getting a Core i5-1135G7 processor, 8GB of RAM, and a 128GB SSD. A tier up is the RM5,250 model, which swaps out the 128GB SSD for a 256GB drive instead.
There's a similar configuration with 16GB of RAM too instead of 8GB for RM6,490, though this model is exclusive to Harvey Norman.
And then we have the Core i7-1185G7 version of the Surface Pro 8 for RM7,350; it is also packed with 16GB of RAM and 256GB of SSD storage. If you want even more storage capacity, there's the RM8,750 model with double the SSD storage (512GB).
Compared to its predecessor, the Surface Pro 8 sees a much more significant design revision. Not only does it sport a larger 13-inch PixelSense Flow Display now with smaller bezels, it also has a higher 120Hz refresh rate for a more responsive user experience.
The Surface Pro 8 can also be paired with the new Surface Pro Signature Keyboard that houses the equally new Surface Slim Pen 2 stylus too. More importantly, this Windows tablet finally gets two USB-C ports with Thunderbolt 4 support as well.
The Microsoft Surface Pro 8 is now available for pre-order in Malaysia from these retailers. Every purchase of the tablet during the pre-order period will also get a Surface Pro Signature Keyboard worth RM699 for free. To sweeten the deal, some retailers will even throw in freebies worth up to RM1,499 while stocks last.

MILAN, March 31 (Reuters) – Shareholders in UniCredit CRDI.MI met on Friday to vote on a brand new pay scheme for Chief Govt Andrea Orcel designed to reward outperformance with a 30% pay elevate.
Buyers with 68.9% of the financial institution's capital have been in attendance, the financial institution mentioned.
German insurer Allianz ALVG.DE, which holds a 5.16% stake behind BlackRock's BLK.N 5.9%, has already thrown its weight behind the proposal.
Nevertheless, main governance advisers Institutional Shareholder Companies (ISS) and Glass Lewis have beneficial rejecting the brand new pay bundle.
In a letter of reply , UniCredit has instructed proxy advisers that their advice to reject the brand new remuneration coverage would end in increased mounted pay for Orcel and not using a tougher efficiency framework.
The proposed new remuneration construction boosts Orcel's pay bundle by 30% if he beats a brand new set of targets for 2023, whereas penalising underperformance greater than up to now.
Hitting the targets would see Orcel's pay unchanged at an general 7.5 million euros ($8.2 million), with a discount within the bonus element offsetting a 30% improve within the mounted half to three.25 million euros.
The mounted pay improve is a board choice upon which shareholders don't have any say, so rejecting the modifications would outcome within the mounted wage rising with out this being a part of a brand new pay construction.
($1 = 0.9187 euros)

Arabtec Holding yesterday scotched reports that it had abandoned plans to build what could be Europe's tallest tower in Russia because of political instability.
It is the latest twist in the history of the controversial St Petersburg project that was originally announced six years ago.
Gazprom Neft, the oil arm of Russia's national gas company, struck its initial deal with the contractor in April 2008. But it was delayed by a series of planning issues. A first phase contract was subsequently awarded in 2012.
Yesterday the builder said it was on track with the 400 metre-tall tower. The stock rose 9.4 per cent.
"The project is well on its way as per the schedule agreed upon with Gazprom," it said in a filing to the Dubai Financial Market.
The tower, which will house Gazprom's headquarters, is expected to be Europe's tallest tower on completion.
Foreign investment in Russia has come under scrutiny since the toppling of Ukraine president Viktor Yanukovich in February. That was followed by Russia's annexation of the Crimean peninsula, part of Ukraine, but with a Russian-speaking majority.
An Arabtec spokesman said that the builder would strengthen its presence in Russia while seeking to develop more partnerships.
The contractor, which is part-owned by Abu Dhabi's Aabar, has snapped up a series of high profile contracts in recent months with projects announced from North Africa to Eastern Europe.
Last month it reported its order backlog had increased by more than a fifth over the last year to Dh24 billion.

The Difference Between Traditional Marketing and Digital Marketing
The Difference Between Traditional Marketing And Digital Marketing is in the targeting and interaction with audiences. The former requires advertisers to buy a space for their advertisements, which can be costly.
The latter needs to build trust with consumers and create a relationship with them. The former is less targeted and does not provide a personalized experience.
Regardless of the platform, both types of marketing can generate leads for a business. The following are some key differences between the two types of marketing.
There are pros and cons to both types of marketing, but the pros outweigh the cons. In the case of digital marketing, it is easier to track customer interaction and see whether a brand is working.
Additionally, it is easier to measure how effective your ads are in getting your message out to a wider audience. This is especially important if you want to achieve the right people.
With traditional marketing, you need to invest in market research and focus groups, but this is often too late.
The difference between traditional and digital marketing is in response time. While traditional marketing may be more cost-effective, it is difficult to target a specific demographic.
As just a result, the response time is significantly longer. Online marketing is fast and provides the opportunity to respond immediately to your audience. However, you can't target specific customers using traditional marketing techniques.
Therefore, you should consider the benefits of both types of marketing and use them wisely to achieve your business goals.
While both methods can produce positive results, digital marketing is more flexible. If you want your marketing campaign to be effective, you should consider a combination of both.
You can use digital marketing to increase your reach and make your brand more memorable. With digital marketing, you can set up a schedule months in advance and then start distributing it.
You can also set up your budget and start distributing your ads immediately.
The results can be impressive! While both methods are effective, the ROI of both methods of marketing are different.
Digital marketing is more responsive to customers' needs, while traditional ones target a global audience. As a result, they have different ROI.
Although both types of advertising have advantages and disadvantages, the ROI of both types of marketing depends on the audience.
If you're trying to reach a local audience, you'll need to spend more money on traditional marketing.
Using traditional marketing is more effective than digital marketing, but it is still not as effective as digital marketing. This is because traditional methods of advertising focus on the product and not on the consumer's interest.
While digital campaigns are more effective, traditional methods are more difficult to measure. In addition, they tend to have higher ROI, but a small business can only compete with local businesses.
It's critical to understand the distinctions between these two types of marketing because the latter will generate a lot of profit for the company.
While both types of marketing are effective, the main difference between them is the ROI.
For example, traditional marketing is more cost-effective than digital, but its limited targeting capabilities can make it difficult to compete with large corporations.
In addition, digital marketing has more flexibility, which means more options for a more efficient campaign. This makes it possible to test and tweak the different strategies.
But the ROI for traditional and digital tactics differ, and traditional methods should not be used as a sole source of marketing. Despite the differences in size and reach, both methods offer a number of advantages and disadvantages.
While traditional marketing uses offline channels, digital marketing utilizes newer delivery methods to reach an audience. In addition to being more effective, digital marketing can help businesses target a wider audience.
As a result, while the latter is more expensive, it is also a more efficient method. In addition, traditional methods are more affordable than digital versions.
Digital Marketing Roles and Responsibilities
A digital marketing manager develops and implements strategies to increase website traffic, generate leads, and improve business operations. In addition, they develop, maintain, and optimize campaigns using social media, PPC, and SEO.
Ultimately, they provide accurate reports to executives and clients. Listed below are some of the key responsibilities of a digital marketing manager.
All of these positions are equally important. What are the main responsibilities of a digital marketer?
The responsibility of a digital marketer varies based on the company. The best digital marketers have experience working in various fields.
The job description for a digital marketer may vary depending on their specific expertise. They may work in social media, website content, or online advertising, or a combination of these.
In many cases, their role is to manage a diverse array of initiatives. This can range from managing a regional or national digital marketing program to managing a social media or website.
Other responsibilities of a digital marketer include website design and functionality. In some cases, a digital marketer will coordinate the website development and content strategy processes.
They also ensure that a company's website can be found easily. To accomplish this, they may optimize the website's content and structure, or implement paid online advertising. These tasks are a part of a comprehensive digital marketing strategy.

Shell launches next phase of DriveSafeIndia program covering one lakh drivers by March 2022
Oct 13, 2021
New Delhi: Shell's #DriveSafeIndia Program, launched in February 2019, has screened more than 2.6 lakh drivers and has been able to address vision issues of approx.1.75 lakh by providing them free pairs of spectacles. The programme has also been awarded the coveted Prince Michael International Road Safety Award for its outstanding contribution to Road Safety in 2019.
Partners with India Vision Institute (IVI) to support road safety with free eye check-ups and spectacles distribution camps in Bangalore and Tamil Nadu
Despite the pandemic, Shell continued the DriveSafeIndia program in line with government regulations and safety protocols. As part of their endeavor to continue keeping Indian roads safe, Shell has now roped in another partner, the India Vision Institute (an NGO providing access to vision testing and spectacles to the underprivileged in remote parts of India), to further expand the programme and vision testing camps in the states of Tamil Nadu and Karnataka.
This year's DriveSafe India program was officially launched in Chennai ahead of World Sight Day and aims to cover an additional 1.00 lakh drivers. Of this, eyecare needs of 50,000 commercial vehicle and truck drivers will be addressed in the Tamil Nadu and Karnataka and the remaining in other states.
Sanjay Varkey, Director, Mobility, Shell India
"At Shell, we believe road safety is imperative for all and the #DriveSafeIndia program is a step forward in the right direction. Tamil Nadu and Karnataka are among the top 3 states with highest road accidents. We are therefore expanding our programme in these regions to reach even more drivers with the intention to improve driving performance and potentially preventing accidents"
"IVI has experience of vision screening school children and adults, including commercial vehicle drivers and truckers. "The collaboration and synergy between the two organizations should help drive a strong program to address the vision problems of the trucking community," said IVI's CEO Vinod Daniel.
"IVI works in 22 states across India to vision screen school children and adults, including drivers and allied transport workers," Mr. Daniel noted. "We see the #DriveSafeIndia program as a great opportunity to address the issue of road safety. Drivers with better vision will lead to fewer road accidents, fatalities and unnecessary injuries," he added.
Mishaps and fatalities on roads are unfortunately frequent occurrences in India. With about 151,0001 on-road deaths reported each year across the country, boosting awareness on not only vehicle upkeep, but more importantly driver welfare, is an urgent imperative. A 2019 study report by the National Crime Records Bureau states that the number of road accidents reported in Tamil Nadu was 59,499, the highest among all states in India. Karnataka stood third with 40,666 cases.

"My ancestors fought so hard for us to vote." As midterm elections approach, Michael Harriot discusses some of the tactics that are used to deter voters and invalidate votes.
[00:00:00] You are now listening to theGrio's Black Podcast Network, Black Culture Amplified.
Michael Harriot [00:00:05] Hello and welcome to another episode of theGrio Daily. And you know, I know that over the past couple of weeks, man, everybody's been, you know, in your face trying to convince you to vote. Saying you vote? You registered to vote? Or are you going to vote in the midterm elections? And let's be clear, like it is important to participate in the electoral process, to participate in politics. You know, you can't leave the political future of Black people or people in general up to white people. So I always think that it is important for Black people to vote, especially since for me, like, not only does it have anything to do with politics, but like, you know, my ancestors and my some of them who are still living fought so hard for us to vote. And I think it's disrespectful for them and the hard, hard work they put in to just be like, Yeah, I'm cool. I don't feel like doing that. Or, You know, I have a reason that I don't want to participate in voting. It's like when your when your mom cooks you a really good meal and she's slaves over the stove all day. You're like, I ain't hungry. I'll eat it later, right? Like I get real mad at that, because I'm one of those people who as soon as I finish cooking and put the food on a plate, you got to eat right while it's hot or I'll be mad at you because you disrespected in my hard work. And that's how I feel about voting. So, welcome to theGrio Daily, the only podcast that doesn't just rock the vote. We Milly Rock to vote.
Michael Harriot [00:01:47] I'm world famous wypipologist Michael Harriot and this is theGrio Daily. And today we're going to not just talk about voting, but we're going to talk about this seldom talked about reality or this phenomenon that's becoming more prevalent about Black people's vote not counting. And you like, what are you talking about? Yeah, you just don't have to go to the voting booth and cast your ballot. Now you just got to, nowadays, you have to make sure that your vote counts. And there are many ways that Black people can be disenfranchized. And I know we like to, you know, talk about the efforts that come before we vote, right? Like we talk like to talk about how they move the ballot boxes or the polls or they close polls in Black neighborhoods. How Black neighborhoods have fewer and less, less modern voting machines. We always talk about how Black neighborhoods or people in Black neighborhoods have to wait actually longer to vote. That's one of my favorite statistics, especially since there was this study done that didn't just specifically target some neighborhoods. It used cell phone data from every voting precinct in America and found out that Black people have to wait about 30% longer than people in white neighborhoods to vote.
Michael Harriot [00:03:15] But we not talking about any of that today, because all of that happens before you actually get to the ballot box. Right. Well, what we're going to talk about today is what if you go to vote like you studied your candidates and then they just threw away your vote? What? That actually happens a lot and specifically for Black and nonwhite voters. So we're going to talk about that today. And first of all, you have to realize, like a lot of what I'm talking about is not just a mistake or, you know, we like to call it a disparity. Disparity. But what we're talking about is purposeful. It's intentional. It's another way to disenfranchize Black voters. So let's begin with, you know, one of the newest ways. And in some states, including most notably Georgia, that new slate of election laws included a provision that allows anybody like you, me, to go up and say, hey, I know this is where Michael Harriot voted. I want to challenge his vote. And, you know, you can challenge it for any reason. You don't actually have to give a reason. You can just literally walk up to an election official and say, I want to challenge Michael Harriot's vote. And they will look into whether or not I voted legally. They will check the signatures. They will check, you know, everything that would possibly invalidate my vote.
Michael Harriot [00:04:53] And the reason this is important is because in the upcoming election, Republicans are using this tactic to essentially send out hordes of people to Black precincts and Black neighborhoods and challenge votes wholesale. They're not just challenging Michael Harriot's vote. They're challenging, they get a list of the voter rolls, which is in a lot of places publicly available and challenge 2, 3000 people's votes who they suspect because there's no real way to know it, who's who they suspect are voting illegally. And a lot of times it's not they suspect they're just, you know, grasping at straws, hoping that something invalidates that person's vote. And you say, well, how can they just target Black people with this? Well, first of all, we know America is segregated. So most Black people, 40% of Black people in the country live in predominantly Black neighborhoods. So that's one way. And then they're targeting specifically African-American districts. Right.
Michael Harriot [00:06:00] And in Georgia, the reason that they can do this is because when you register to vote, Georgia keeps statistics on how many Black people are registered in each voting district. So they could just pick the Black as districts and target them to just challenge their votes, hoping that, well, a certain percentage of votes are going to be, you know, miscast anyway in every election. But if you target, let's say, Fulton County, which isn't just one of the Blackest counties in Georgia, it's the most populous voting district in Georgia. So if you just only go to Fulton County and challenge votes, then you're able because some of those votes are going to be miscast for a number of reasons. Right. And which we'll get into. But you can disproportionately toss out those ballots, which can affect an election. So what could cause them to toss out a vote? Well, one of the things that Georgia and many other states use is this signature match verification program. Right. That, you know, studies have shown courts have ruled is illegal in some states. Some states have ruled that it is just disproportionately disenfranchizes nonwhite people in this for a number of reasons. Like, for instance, if you've registered to vote with your license and you have, for instance, an apostrophe in your name, and the person who typed that into the system in your local voting precinct made a mistake and misspelled your name, you're technically disqualified from voting because your voter registration doesn't match your other state documentation that you use to vote, whether it is your an apostrophe in your name or whether you have a hyphenated last name or have some kind of punctuation in your last name, which a lot of Hispanic people or want to do.
Michael Harriot [00:08:07] For instance, if you have an emphasis on a syllable of your name that shows up on your driver's license, but instead of, you know, putting that slash this way, they put it this way, that could technically disqualify you from voting. And the other thing is that people who are staffing polls aren't trained to verify signatures, in other words, they're not experts on how people sign things. They're not handwriting experts. So they can just take a glance at your signature and say, hey, this just doesn't look right. You could have, you know, signed one way five years ago when you got your license and then signed another way this year, you could have, you know, changed your last name because you got married. But this is a big one. One of the ways that they do this is because let's say you moved and you still live in the same precinct. A lot of people just won't, you know, change their address because it's the same precinct. Well, we know that Black people are more likely to move than white people for a lot of reasons, for jobs, for rising rent, for the cost of housing. And if you don't change your address because, you know, sometimes there is no need to you could move across the street sometimes. And this is a crazy one. Like there are cases where people never moved, but the address of their apartment building changed because like they built a new entrance to the apartment building or the street address that's used by the post office changed just because of sometimes towns and cities do that. Sometimes they've changed the zip code. Well, technically, you can be disqualified from voting. And if they target Black areas and if they use Black precincts, white people and Republicans to specifically target Black voters, even if Black people are not more likely to make a mistake in their voting documentation, they can still affect an election because again, a certain percentage of all votes, if you really examine it, a certain percentage of people make a mistake on their ballots or either their registration or it might not be your fault. It might be the person who put it into the system. Again, they can still technically disqualify you from voting.
Michael Harriot [00:10:49] And all across the country, especially in Georgia, Republicans have started to use this tool. There's a good AP story by one of our friends, Erin Haynes. And, you know, she writes for the Philadelphia Inquirer also that talks about this new effort to basically sending out people or an army to do this. And you would say, that's crazy. How could they do this? Well, here's something that you should know. So there was in the late eighties, early nineties, the Republicans tried to do this with what they call a ballot security team. And they just literally gave white people armbands and said, this is our ballot security team. And they went to precincts. And instead of challenging votes to election officials, they would just walk up to people and say, I want to see your ID. And, you know, a white person with a armband kind of looks kind of official. And not only did people just leave and say, oh, they must be questioning me, but a lot of immigrants, you know, were scared, even if they weren't technically in the country illegally and didn't vote. And there was a order, the NAACP and a few organizations got together and they sued the Republican National Committee and a federal judge stopped the Republican National Committee and the Republican Party from actually sending any kind of people to the polls to examine or question voters.
Michael Harriot [00:12:32] Well, they had what they call a consent decree decree, which means, like, you got to pay these people money, but you'll agree not to do this certain thing in any way for a certain amount of time. Well, that consent decree expired in 2016, and that's not the only way they can disenfranchize you after you voted. So again, in Georgia and in Arizona and a few other states, they had this provision in these new slate of of voter laws, not just ID, but what they did is say, look, what we're going to do now is we're going to question the people who actually won an election. Again, we're going to focus on Fulton County in Georgia for this one because it's majority Black. So the majority of the election officials are Democrat or Black. Well, in this new Georgia law, they can say, well, we sent a bunch of people to this precinct and there was a certain percentage of ballots that were miscast or a certain number of irregularities in this voting precincts. Now, again, in this new law, they don't have to compare it with the average voter precinct or they don't have to show that, well, it's above a certain limit or a threshold. They can just say, well, doesn't look right to me. And what happens is the party in charge in the case of Georgia, the Republican Party, the party in charge of the legislature can just appoint people to be in charge of that voting precinct. And because these unelected people can replace elected voting officials, they can in turn invalidate the entire voting precinct if they want to, or they can challenge a every vote or they can have a recount or they can just say, we're going to examine a certain percentage. And again, if they only target certain precincts, they're going to find some discrepancies and disenfranchize a certain number of people. And again, like you have to remember in this entire state of Georgia, where they have 5 million voters. What did Trump win Georgia by? 11,000 votes. That's how close these elections are and that's how effective these disenfranchisement efforts can be. We'll continue this conversation next time on theGrio Daily.
