A Bennett Winch Leather Weekender was the prize awarded by The Rake Magazine for the best dressed driver
Cars and bags go hand in hand - that's why we make some of the best bags for travelling with; whether you're loading the boot for a day trip with the family, or laying your weekender on the passenger seat of a classic Jag bound for the countryside.
Simon Kidston's winning Lamborghini Coutach LP400
It's our love for anything with wheels and an engine that drove us to partner up with Concours D'Elegance Suisse, the premier showcase for time defying classic cars, and The Rake magazine, one of our favourite monthly reads, to provide the best dressed driver of the weekend with a coveted gift: a Bennett Winch leather weekender.
Simon eyeing up the competition
The lucky recipient, Simon Kidston, was selected by The Rake after standing out from the crowd in his 1977 purple Lamborghini Countach LP400. It wasn't just the sleek lines of his car that earnt him the accolade - classic styling courtesy of a Cesera Attolini suit carried a formal feel with a spread collar shirt and an seasonally bright tie, before gaining an entirely casual touch thanks to a patterned open collar shirt later in the day.

Racing is in Simon's blood; his uncle was one of the infamous Bentley Boys, who spent the 20's living as fast as they drove, in impeccable style. As a classic car collector and dealer, Simon searches the world looking for the finest examples of sought-after machines, and we're delighted to be able to help him travel in a style that befits his impeccable taste in tailoring and motors.

Major Adulting: Failing at my Goals and Not Giving A Damn
When I was 28, which seems such a short time ago, I made a list of 30 goals I wanted to achieve before I was 30. Simple right? Make 30 plans, stick to them and tick them off one by one. Ha!
In case you didn't get from the "Ha"… I was being sarcastic. It was so hard to complete even half of the goals I made but I am really happy with what I did manage! Here are some of the reasons why I couldn't do them, and why, actually… it's okay to fail sometimes!
Many of them involved actually having money
A few of these involved having money and having people to accompany me who also had money and had the same goals as me… This was a little tricky. Other things would come up and I ended up wanting to use my money to go to other places. Yes, ultimately I would love to visit Disneyland and Iceland, but really, there's still time!
Time is my Enemy
Literally cannot get a moment's peace and quiet! By April, I'd already planned out every weekend up until the end of June. People are asking me if I'm free and I'm at event after event, I have my birthday plans and holidays… With this in mind, how would I have ever found time to do 30 days of volunteering? Or do an art project of the calibre I did at A-Level where that was literally my only job?
I've changed, bro
My goals when I was 28 are just not the same anymore. Visiting waxwork museums and eating in Michelin star restaurants are on my to-do list but not my priority. I think there are still lots on my list I'd love to do though, like creating a photo album of my life so far! I don't feel bad though, because I have done so many other amazing things instead!
There are a few that I've put off…
There are a few where, I've been a chicken. I've not done them because it requires hard-work and actually putting myself out there. Like learning a new skill by attending a class – it's not just the time factor. It's the effort I have none of. Plus there are some I didn't do as it requires changing my lifestyle. I did manage to go vegan for a month which was a big lifestyle change, but I never managed a tech-free month. I just couldn't do it.
I ended up completing 17 out of 30 goals, which I guess isn't too bad! It's over half, and I'm really proud of my accomplishments even without these ones being completed. This year I've done so much, for my blog and for myself – and enjoyed every minute! The 18th goal and the last one I'm going to manage before my birthday is to "See in my 30th birthday in style" – don't worry, I've got that covered…
If there's one thing I know how to do, it's how to throw a party.

Go you for not giving a damn about ticking everything off your to-do list! I know loads of people – including myself – get riddled by terrible guilt if we haven't achieved everything we wanted to do, so reading this was quite refreshing. I'd love to try going vegan for a month though…
"Or do an art project of the calibre I did at A-Level where that was literally my only job?"
Oh my, that one hit me right in the feels and you just articulated something I've been feeling for years without being able to put my finger on exactly what IT was. I've had such a hard time with my art since college (horrible teachers and other circumstances didn't help either), and I've never been able to get back to the same calibre that I know I'm capable of and it stings. But you're completely right! Back then putting hours of work into one art project was not just acceptable but what we were expected to do.
I want to applaud you for standing up and saying you just couldn't do some of your goals. As you said there is no shame in that and what we want to do, what we aim for and what we find ourselves able to do just doesn't always line up.
Here's to your 30s; welcome to the club!
I agreed with what you said about how goals can change. I completely agree. I have set personal goals for myself that are different now and that's even just a year later.
Aww I love this post Amy! 😀 I know loads of people who set goals to aim to complete each year, as well as before they hit a certain age (21 and 30 being the main ones!).
I used to set goals every year and eventually I thought – fuck it. I'm not going to achieve it!
I don't really have a list of things I aim to do really… I just have them in mind that I would like to do them and if I managed to get them done, that's a plus! 😀
I really love this post though, you'll never fail at life sweet. You're too fab for that! 😀
I love this article. I'm approaching 28 this year and it scares me that I'm just that much closer to 30. I also have had a huge to-do list but I like optimistic your reflection is on not having meet all your goals (and that's okay!). This has inspired me to take a look at my own list and revise it so that in the next few years I'm focusing more on realistic goals compared to bucket-list type goals. Thanks for the inspiration. 🙂
I love this post. It's great that you've been able to achieve a lot of stuff, and recognise reasons for not achieving other things, but not beat yourself up about it 🙂
Failure is such a necessary part of life. The trick is the learn from it and to not give up! (Now I just need to take my own advice on this subject… xD)

Well, ladies and gentleman, the first trimester is coming to a close and I couldn't be more excited. What an anxious time those first twelve weeks are … between unknown twinges, morning sickness, and learning what your body is trying to say … I was a nutcase. In 2011, my husband and I experienced a miscarriage. It was a weird time for both of us … so we were extremely gun shy as we progressed this pregnancy. I over-analyzed EVERYTHING! How could I not? It didn't help that the time frame we got pregnant this year was the exact same time frame it happened in 2011. So with this trimester coming to a close, it brings a sense of relief to the both of us … so maybe I can learn to relax the rest of the pregnancy … highly doubtful, but it's worth a shot.
So let's take a minute to talk about this bump … Please tell me it's normal to be this plump at 12 weeks! I know every pregnancy is different but I'm a little scared what month 7, 8, and 9 are going to look like if I'm showing like this already. I'm going to fall over from being front heavy! I'm hoping at some point everything will even out but with my luck I will probably just be huge.
How far along? 12 Weeks, 2 Days
Total weight gain? 2lbs … movin' on up! I'm quite sure it's all that candy I've been eating!
Maternity clothes? Getting there … I did buy some stretch waist leggings. They aren't maternity but I can breathe in them and at this point, that's all that matters!
Stretch marks? Not as of yet.
Sleep? I was doing amazing in the sleep department this week until Baby decided Mommy's Super Bowl food picks were not to his/her liking. It has been a rough couple of nights since. Bad Mommy!
Best moment this week? While it wasn't MY best moment this week, I would have to say having my husband stay up to take care of me in the middle of the night while this little nugget threw Mommy's stomach for a loop. Functioning on just a couple hours sleep, he continued to work and never once complained how exhausted he was … instead worried about how I was doing and how I was feeling. For those of you that know me, you know just how much I love him … but I think that moment made me love him even more. I've got a special one and I'm so thankful he's on this journey with me because I certainly couldn't do this without him.
Miss anything? I'm missing a Lenny's Club Sub like something fierce. I know I can heat deli meat but let's be real … it's not the same! I also miss my brain! Holy Cow! Pregnancy brain is no joke … It amazes me the amount of dumb stuff that comes out of my mouth and the ridiculous stuff I do. To all my previously pregnant friends … if I ever giggled at your pregnancy brain I am so sorry but don't worry, Karma got me good.
Movement? None this week … just me moving a little faster to the ladies room … pregnancy gives you the bladder of a squirrel. I'm sure it's only a matter of time before I pee my pants.
Food cravings? Still chompin' on Gumballs. I've expanded my palette to Pixie Sticks that my husband constantly threatens to take away from me if I don't eat them in moderation. This baby is bound to come out on a sugar high.
Anything making you feel sick or queasy? Chili Cheese Dip … its this amazing dip made with cream cheese, chili, and shredded cheddar served with Frito Scoops. It's heaven … normally. Baby has decided it is an unacceptable form of food. It has made its post digestion debut twice now … that's enough for me to permanently check it off my "Do Not Eat" list. I should've learned the first time.
Gender? I drive myself nuts over this question. I really have no idea. My friends are about 50/50 between pink and blue … hopefully we get to set the appointment soon to find out!
Symptoms? This week headaches have returned … I can't tell if it's this crazy weather we are having or just normal pregnancy headaches. They aren't bad, but enough to be annoying. The only other symptom is the ladies have gone up in size … um. whoa. I didn't know they could get that big … and my understanding is that they only get bigger. Yikes!
Belly button in or out? Innie
Happy or moody? Still happy! Thank goodness!
Looking forward to? Beginning the second trimester and really starting to enjoy the pregnancy.

After winning their opening seven games of the season under new coach Niko Kovac, the Bundesliga champions had picked up just one point in their last two games against Augsburg and Hertha Berlin before the Dutch side's visit to the Allianz Arena.
They looked like they would get back on track when Mats Hummels' fourth-minute header put them ahead, but Erik ten Hag's youthful side bounced back in style, levelling midway through the half thanks to Noussair Mazraoui's fine strike.
Substitute James Rodriguez came closest to finding an undeserved winner for Bayern in the second period, while Donny van de Beek will be left to rue a golden opportunity 20 minutes from time for Ajax when he fired wide with only Manuel Neuer to beat.
Andre Onana kept out Arjen Robben's whipped effort in the opening exchanges, but was helpless to stop Hummels' unmarked header from the Dutchman's precise cross shortly afterwards.
Ajax responded well to that early setback, though, with Dusan Tadic firing over from eight yards and Hakim Ziyech testing Neuer from distance in quick succession.
Their renewed confidence paid dividends in the 22nd minute when Mazraoui played a smart one-two with Tadic before drilling past Neuer from 12 yards for his first Ajax goal.
The visitors were dominant for the remainder of the opening period and were only denied a half-time lead when Neuer parried over Ziyech's powerful 30-yard drive.
Tadic wasted another wonderful opportunity moments after the restart, scuffing a close-range effort from David Neres' cross, while Nicolas Tagliafico's low drive was kept out by Neuer.
Hummels was denied what looked a clear penalty after being clattered by Onana just before the hour mark before Van de Beek steered agonisingly wide.
Onana did wonderfully to tip James' scuffed effort wide late on, while Ajax almost secured the win their performance deserved in stoppage time, but Neuer tipped Lasse Schone's fizzing free-kick onto the crossbar.
De Ligt lights up Allianz Arena
It is hard to believe the 19-year-old was making his Champions League debut. He was imperious at the heart of Ajax's defence and scarcely gave Robert Lewandowski a kick.

Theft causes one of the greatest loses that experienced in business. The safety of goods in a facility is dependent on the types of locks installed.
The two main categories of locks available
The two main categories are the manually operated lock and key door locks and the keyless door lock systems, which are mainly automatically controlled. The manually operated door lock types include padlocks, deadbolts, knob locks, lever handle locks, cam locks, Euro profile locks, well-mounted locks and others. Types of keyless door lock systems go with the means of their operation. These locks include push-button keyless door locks, cipher locks, remote controlled locks and fingerprint locks. Keyless door lock systems offer more advantages and are more secure than the lock and key type of door locks.
Services offered and places that they can be accessed
Due to the high demand of lock systems, many companies in many places offer installation services. In the following areas you can find full lock systems or spare parts such as security software, powering batteries, wiring materials, and other access control systems Columbia SC, Florida, New York City and many more places.
Keyless door locks don't need a key to open
Keyless door locks are convenient in large businesses with tens or hundreds of workers. Unlike manual locks where duplicating a key is necessary when a worker loses one (which will cause a lot of key duplication since chances of losing keys are very high), keyless door locks only need their codes to be rekeyed without the risk of breaking a door if access is denied.
Keyless door lock systems are impossible to pick
The locks are pick resistance since they come with drill resistance housings hence reduce cases of break-ins. It means that costs, especially in businesses, as a result of theft, are considerably reduced. More to that, due to the locks' ability to withstand attempted break-ins, there is a reduction in expenses resulting from repairing damages.
Their designs and styling can be easily customized
A buyer can order a lock system that best meets their needs. Before buying a keyless lock system, the environment in which it shall be subjected to should be considered and the lock system made and installed accordingly. Some locks are built for indoor use only and others for the outdoor purpose. It is crucial that locks meant for outdoor use to be made using weather resistant materials. It will ensure durability hence minimum consumption of time and money spent on maintenance.
They allow the owner to keep track of access to sites
Most of the systems have a central terminal from where an operator can keep track of every site that is accessed. Mainly where large facilities are involved are where these terminals are utilized. Keyless door lock systems also allow an operator to remotely open a door from the terminal for a user who isn't authorized to have the key codes.

Men's Lacrosse Falls to Delaware in Home Opener
- Details
- Category: Volume 90 (Fall 2017 - Spring 2018)
- Published: 28 February 2018
- Written by MARK D'AQUILA | STAFF WRITER
Men's lacrosse bounced back from their heartbreaking double overtime season opener with a huge 17-4 victory on Wednesday at Wagner.
It was a come from behind effort for the Hawks to start the game as Wagner found the back of the net first striking within the first few minutes. Monmouth responded quickly however, as redshirt senior midfielder Dylan Schulte began a string of eight straight Hawk goals. Schulte and fellow senior Bryce Wasserman led the first half charge with two goals apiece helping lead Monmouth to a 9-2 advantage at the half.
Junior attack Hunter Jones got the second half scoring going as well with his early transition goal assisted by Wasserman. From here it was more of the same from the Hawks who continued the offensive outpour scoring seven more times while only allowing four goals in the game.
"Today was a really good day for our guys," Monmouth Head Coach Brian Fisher said. "We handled the adjustments really well on a short week and that showed today."
The defensive effort was certainly on display in addition as Monmouth senior defender Joe Lucas made his first-career start on defense and his help was surely noticed.
One of Monmouth's eight second half goals came from none other than Schulte who completed his second career hat trick.
Several young Hawks made their debuts in the game including freshman attack Max Brooks who ended the day's scoring with his first-career goal in the final minute of the game, capping off the victory. Brooks was one of nine players in the game who made their Monmouth debuts against Wagner.
"It was nice to get everyone on the field" Fisher said. "They played with energy and our starters were excited and enthusiastic to see them performing well."
The win was their first of the season and fourth all time against Wagner despite playing on a short week.
A quick turnaround was ahead of the Hawks again as they had their 2018 home-opener on a rainy Saturday afternoon against Delaware.
Saturday's story was much different than Wednesdays as Monmouth began the day's scoring on a Wasserman goal. The lead didn't last long however as Delaware responded with a 6-0 run of their own.
The Blue Hen momentum came to an abrupt stop when Wasserman found the back of the net for his second time of the day, getting the Hawks sideline roaring and on their feet. The goal cut the deficit to four goals, however Delaware was able to tack on two more of their own before the buzzer, heading into the half with an 8-2 lead.
The second half included several momentum swings including Hunter Jones' beautiful rebound in front of the net and score. However, Monmouth was never able to fully gain control of the game as they trailed by as many as 10 goals in the second half.
A positive note for the Hawks was that they closed the fourth quarter out by scoring seven of the game's final eight goals which cut the concluding score from a double-digit deficit to a 15-11 loss. Three of those final seven MU goals came from sophomore midfielder Zach Clemente who certainly did not shy away from the home opener spotlight as he recorded his first-career hat trick.
Monmouth will look to build on their fourth quarter success against Delaware when they travel to Massachusetts for their next game where they will take on UMass Lowell on Saturday at 1:00 p.m.

Takata is a manufacturer of air bag inflators that does business with major automobile manufacturers, such as Toyota and Nissan. However, on November 3, 2015, a Department of Transportation agency, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration ("NHTSA"), issued two orders directed against Takata.
NHTSA discovered that Takata was using an improper chemical propellant to cause airbags to inflate. The improper chemical caused explosions in some cases, leading to 7 deaths and over 100 injuries in the United States. Furthermore, NHTSA discovered that Takata was aware of the defect in its airbag inflators, but did not recall the products to protect consumers.
As a result of NHTSA's new orders, Takata will have to pay a $200 million fine. Takata will also have to recall and replace the defective airbag inflators. The NHTSA orders establish that the agency will oversee Takata to make sure that the company complies with its new obligations.
There is no excuse for companies to manufacture and sell cars with known dangerous defects, unbeknownst to drivers. If you know anyone who has been injured as a result of a defect in an automobile, you should contact the personal injury attorneys at Chaikin, Sherman, Cammarata & Siegel, P.C. for a free consultation.

This activity is designed to develop students critical reading of text, in this case of a cultural, audio-visual text. Alternatively, a traditional, printed text could be used. However, the texts students need to read are becoming increasingly complex and hybrid, requiring a range of multi-literacies.
The resource was designed for certificate in music students at level 3 in response to diagnostic testing (and in-class observation) that indicated critical reading and critical thinking to be significant literacy needs of these students. Developing students critical literacy skills is essential in all disciplines, at all levels; for this reason, this activity is useful, and adaptable
to a wide range of contexts. At higher levels the texts and tasks need to increase in complexity and need contextualising to the discipline, but the skills and strategies remain the same.

Customer experience has become the arena in which twenty-first century organisations are competing, structuring themselves and shaping their strategies, with the bar being set high by organisations such as ASOS, John Lewis, Zappos.
But how does this apply to the customers of local government? Can – and should - a resident's experience of finding out the dates of their bank holiday bin collection compare with their latest ASOS order and return? How does a local business's online planning application compare with its latest request for car insurance?
Local Government doesn't have to compete as such. As citizens we are bound to our local authority for so much of what we do on a daily basis. Yet Forrester Research found links between CX and people's attitudes towards their communities, the efficacy of legislation, public compliance and engagement, and the health and efficiency of government workers
It's important that people are satisfied with their council and see the value in the services they receive to ensure needs are being met, council tax continues to be paid and – from the point of view of the politicians – residents continue to vote!
From a local government perspective therefore, CX isn't just a moral imperative, it is vital to improve compliance, create trust and engagement, and reduce costs.
At a time when local authorities are under greater financial pressures than ever before, investing in major change feels counter-intuitive. But we believe investing in creating better customer experiences is central to creating the efficiencies needed while improving relations with citizens and local business.
A good deal of progress is being made, with many councils at the forefront of applying new ways of working and new technologies to local services. But the stereotype of over-adherence to bureaucracy, rules and procedures still exists in local government. The question remains – how to break the cycle so that the measures of success become the provision of effective solutions for customers and not rigid adherence to process?
And that change has to come from leadership who are prepared to face potential backlash in the knowledge that a journey can be started towards a different way of working and one in which customer values are central and shared by the employees.
Is the change in beliefs and culture harder in Local Government? Probably. The private sector allows for more direct action on the part of its leaders, where big shifts in operating models and organisation design have become accepted as part of bringing organisations up-to-speed in a new world of 'digital transformation'.
In the face of ever-strained public finances, it's a tall order for local government to make radical change. However, it is becoming increasingly essential. Our work with local government shows that it is possible to be creative, make improvements and adapt ways of working to improve customer experience across all channels. This requires a number of vital building blocks, both strategic and operational – with these five areas being key:
With the customer at the centre, this will drive the right behaviours. This approach should focus on joined-up thinking - organisations that wish to be customer-centric need to form around the needs of the customer.
Cut bureaucracy, eliminate waste and create new citizen-centric services by using data to open up new opportunities and drive innovation. Use data to get closer to your customers and analytics to improve decision-making and provide insights.
Improving your customers' perceptions of you – thinking from an 'outside-in' perspective. Focus on 'shared values' in every interaction so that your customers understand who you are and what you will do for them.
Getting the best from your people. it may be a cliché but allowing employees more autonomy to show initiative and flexibility means resources are directed to where they are most needed and waste is eliminated.
Structural overhaul isn't always the answer. Changing the culture, gradually overriding aversion to change, and challenging the traditions will enable a customer-focused mindset. it won't happen overnight but take incremental steps towards a culture that focuses on the customer rather than adherence to process
Read more about these five areas in our forthcoming blog 'Five ways to optimise the local government customer experience'.
For local government, whose core purpose is to serve local residents and businesses, customer-centricity should be at the heart of everything it does. By taking an outside-in look at how local government operates, we believe there is scope for immediate and longer-term savings. As what matters to citizens, employees, leaders and other stakeholders comes together, so the true potential of customer-centricity in local government emerges.

What teachers said: How do we rate school problems and pressures?
In addition to the traditional PDK poll of Americans, PDK convened online focus groups with public school parents and public school teachers, thanks to funding support from the Carnegie Corporation of New York. These comments are drawn from those two groups.
Too many kids are not necessarily mentally equipped to deal with the time and stress management issues that come up. Additionally, I think many kids from overachieving families are overstressed.Tim, 50, White middle school special education teacher in suburban Virginia
Schools should also teach students about relationships — how to make them, how to keep them, what is appropriate and inappropriate, and what they should avoid. I have had numerous students who have been in abusive or inappropriate relationships and either did not realize it or had no idea how to get out of it.Deborah, 53, White high school life skills teacher in suburban Missouri
Between mental illness and so many on the autism spectrum, we're seeing more and more cases of impulse control issues, lack of motivation, depression, anxiety, and no proper coping skills or healthy emotional outlets. Too often, parents take for granted that the schools and teachers should be multitaskers: all-encompassing surrogate parents, clergy, social workers, healers, therapists, babysitters, cure-alls.Liz, 50, White 1st-grade teacher in urban California
We need schools to focus on mental health and the ability to cope in difficult situations. I teach in middle school and I have noticed an uptick in depression, anxiety, and mental illness among my students and not a lot of support or coping skills. We need more training on dealing with technology and educate students on how to operate in a digital social world.Andrea, 28, White middle school art teacher in urban Massachusetts
School needs to provide opportunities for students to grow in their perseverance and problem-solving/critical thinking skills (academically and socially).Anna, 27, Black early elementary teacher in urban Minnesota
Because of a decrease in parental involvement, I do think schools will eventually need to address some of the aspects of growing into adult life. There are so many students who don't have the skills or knowledge to open a bank account. They don't understand the difference between checking and savings accounts. Don't even get more started on budgeting! This isn't because they're not intelligent; they've just never had these discussions. I think we, as the public school system, will have to eventually fill the gaps.Brian, 30, White high school teacher in suburban Texas
Many students I have encountered are broken socially and emotionally. For example, I have a student whose mother couldn't deal with his overactive behavior after his biological father passed away. He started counseling and continues it today, but the mom couldn't handle the behavior so she had her mother raising him. As a result, my student feels incomplete, insecure, and thirst for attention, which adds to his acting out, emotional gaps with forming friendships, and self-harm attempts.Moniqua, 45, Black middle school teacher in urban Michigan
The downside of teaching is when you encounter a student who has given up on him or herself. The sad part about teaching is listening to some of the real sad and abusive home life situations. Many young people today have very little if any support systems outside of the school environment. The home life can cause anxiety, depression, mental health issues, apathy, drug abuse, sexual abusive and, most of all, anger issues.
An example of a real-life story that comes to mind was a male minority student who was homeless. He was living from place to place and had to take public transportation to get to the school. Many times he would be late to school because the two transfer buses he had to take would arrive a little past school start time. The school rules were what they were and he was marked tardy/unexcused absence, which caused him to get marked absent which caused him not to receive credits for his classes. He already had a life strike against him and now the system was setting him up for failure. I find it very frustrating that life circumstances make it almost impossible for some to have a chance at school/opportunities that a student with a healthy family life has. I also found it very challenging to boost or be a support system for high school age students who have no parental support at home. I would be their safety net while they were with me for a short time and then have to send them back to their unpleasant reality at the end of the day.Jean, 60, mixed-race high school teacher in suburban Delaware
The current culture of standardized testing is, in my view, one of the most counterproductive aspects of American education. I would prefer to abolish it at least as a benchmark for measuring school and teacher success as it does not address the diversity in economics and learning styles present in most schools.Tim, 50, White middle school special education teacher in suburban Virginia
Especially in the times of high-stakes testing, there is just not enough time in the day to address the plethora of issues that students face in the 21st century.Colleen, 41, Black high school teacher in suburban Georgia

DTC driver death: Family puts cremation on hold, union demands Rs 1 crore as compensation
New Delhi, May 11: Expressing dissent over the compensation declared by state transport minister Gopal Rai for the death of a Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) bus driver who was mercilessly beaten to death by a biker, the DTC union on Monday went on strike.
"DTC management is the worst. They have absolutely no concern for us. Also, the Government has promised only a five lac compensation. Earlier, when a similar incident had happened, the driver's family was compensated with a crore.
Also read: DTC driver death in Delhi: Lot needs to be done to curb aggression
The union has called for a strike for an indefinite period until their demands are met.
And now, as per reports, the driver's family has put the cremation on hold demanding Rs 1 crore as compensation from the government.
They also demanded a permanent job and said that the culprits should be booked at the earliest.
Hundreds of thousands of commuters were hit hard in the capital on Monday as DTC crews went on strike to protest against the killing of a driver by a biker in an incident of road rage.
Most of the Delhi Transport Corporation's 4,705 buses went off the roads, with hundreds of drivers and conductors massing at the 45 depots spread across the city, shouting slogans.
Also read: Road rage: DTC driver bludgeoned to death with fire extinguisher
A small fleet of buses which plied proved inadequate for the nearly 40 lakh people who use the DTC daily to commute, forcing them to largely turn to the already crowded Delhi Metro.
The strike also affected DTC operations in the neighbouring states of Haryana and Uttar Pradesh.
Delhi Transport Minister Gopal Rai met officials to sort out the issue arising from the Sunday morning incident when a biker, furious after being hit by a DTC bus, beat the driver to death.
Even as passengers watched, the biker used his helmet and a small fire extinguisher installed in the bus to repeatedly hit the driver, Ashok Kumar Singh.
The 42-year-old Singh bled to death while being taken to hospital.
As news of his death spread, DTC staff unions threatened a strike on Monday. From the morning, drivers and conductors gathered at the depots and shouted slogans demanding strict action against the biker who has been arrested.

So now, everything is good, because either Mirna and Charla will be out, or David and Mary will be out, and I couldn't care less (that's how it's done, Rob) who it is. Well, that's not totally true -- I'd rather it were Charla and Mirna. But I win either way. Driving, navigating, driving, navigating, poor kidnapped Fern. And now, arriving on the mat... Charla and Mirna. Welcome, you are team number eight. They hug. Charla hugs the little-person greeter.
Here come David and Mary, who are prattling in the car about what a great experience it was, and how Mary feels like "a true West Virginian" after rafting. They land on the mat, and they are Philiminated. "It's okay," Mary says. She says they had fun. Phil asks her if she's in love with her husband, and she says she is. She says they now accept each other for who they are, and he says they won't change each other. And he doesn't really want her to fall in the river.
Executive Producer? Jerry Bruckheimer.
Next week: Rob and Amber versus Charla and Mirna. The ending "will have everyone talking." Oh, great.

If your facility has an Integrated Pollution Control (IPC) license from the EPA, then your drains need to be maintained regularly, in accordance with the conditions of your licence. Failure to maintain your drains will lead to significant fines, if any pollution or subsidence occurs because of neglect; and it could result in the loss of the organisation's licence. The three core elements of effective drain maintenance are drain cleaning, drain testing and drain rehabilitation.
IPC regulations dictate that commercial drains should be cleaned at least every 3 years. However, it is often recommended to do so more frequently, particularly with the increased frequency of severe weather events Western Europe has been experiencing in recent years.
The most common method used to clean industrial drains is drain jetting, which is the most economical, environmentally safe and compliant option available. Highly pressurised (2500-4000 psi) water is forced through a hose with a specialised nozzle at the end. This method is not only highly effective at removing grease, hair, mineral build-up and other debris, it also removes bacteria that can lead to foul odours. Drain jetting can even be used to break up tree roots, if the equipment is powerful enough. Drain jetting should always be carried out by trained experts, due to the inherent dangers involved.
Drain surveys and drain testing are an essential element of drain maintenance. It's the most effective way to highlight issues before they develop into more serious drain problems. Regular surveys should be carried out on drainage systems, which will identify any defects present in the drainage system. These can then be repaired, thus preventing pipes from being further damaged and possibly having to be replaced.
There are a number of methods used to test drains – hydrostatic testing, air pressure testing and CCTV drain surveys.
Hydrostatic testing involves sectioning off specific lines, from manhole to manhole, filling the area with water and measuring the rate of leakage (if any) in litres per minute, or any changes in water pressure.
Air pressure testing works in a similar way but, as the name suggests, involves measuring changes in air pressure instead.
CCTV surveys are the most efficient way to accurately assess the condition of drains and sewers and then pinpointing the location of any potential defects. If you are interested in learning more about CCTV surveys, read our CCTV drain surveys guide here.
If pressure testing indicates a leak, or a CCTV survey identifies damaged pipes, collapsing sewers or poor connections in a drainage solution, drain rehabilitation will be required.
There are a several options available for rehabilitating drains, the most efficient and cost-effective of which is part or full relining of the pipes. Full relining involves inserting a new pipe within the existing one, without having to dig any holes or trenches. Pipes with fractures caused by subsidence, tree roots or poorly laid pipes etc. can be addressed using another method, called patch repairs or part relining, also without any digging or disruption.
Drain patch repairs use a segment of fabric, impregnated with an epoxy resin, which is fed into the pipe and inflated upon reaching the crack, and then held in place until it sets. Finally, the positioning and integrity of the patch is confirmed via CCTV camera.
Should obstructions be identified in a pipeline, these can be removed using robotic cutters. This method of drain repair is known as lateral cutting, and it can also be used to cut openings for new lateral connections after relining pipes.
Maintaining your drains is a legal requirement that should not be ignored. Enva can look after the entire process for you, from regular maintenance and testing, to full remediation and repairs.

2017 Lotto Thuringen Ladies Tour – Stage 3
Some days are just not that great. As this is the first time I'm covering this race and Germany doesn't allow Streetview in Google Maps, I didn't know what to expect and I was hoping for some great vistas after the last couple of days. However, today was probably the least pretty stage so far. On the other hand, it was quite heavy on the historical side of things: the main climb of the day was near the Buchenwald lager and Weimar itself has a prominent place in German history – though I had to do a bit of googling to figure out why exactly was the Weimar Republic so important after WWI.
