Shipping to Saudi Arabia: How Sunny Worldwide Logistics Helped a Client Consolidate Shipments from 44 Suppliers

Shipping to Saudi Arabia: How Sunny Worldwide Logistics Helped a Client Consolidate Shipments from 44 Suppliers

Not long ago, a long-term Saudi client who has been working with us for almost two years told me they had a shipment ready. This shipment involved about 15 suppliers, and they needed us to make payments to the suppliers on their behalf. Since we’re familiar with each other, the client gave me the necessary information and hung up the phone. Handling 15 suppliers seemed manageable at first. However, a few days later, the client informed me there were nearly 50 suppliers involved! This was a huge challenge for me! Each supplier needed careful attention, and the workload was enormous. Any mistake could lead to problems, especially since we had to handle export declarations, customs clearance documents, trucking, and other procedures.

This isn’t an unusual situation for us. At Sunny Worldwide Logistics, we often assist clients with tasks beyond just shipping, such as factory inspections and quality checks, free of charge, making things much easier for them. When dealing with consolidation, our team is present during loading to ensure everything is done correctly and we send videos to our clients. If there’s any confusion with product codes, we remark the labels, count the quantities, and handle the details meticulously. We even help clients with small tasks, like repacking items purchased from platforms like Taobao, that others might overlook.

I noticed that most of the client’s goods were concentrated in three areas in Guangzhou: 1) near Wanling Plaza, 2) near Nan’an Road, and 3) near Huangsha Avenue. To help the client save on pickup costs, I decided to first gather the goods at our Guangzhou Huangpu warehouse.

The pickup was the most challenging part due to the number of suppliers involved. So, I divided the task into two parts: 1) For suppliers with larger quantities and higher-value goods, I convinced them to deliver directly to the warehouse. 2) For suppliers with smaller quantities and lower-value goods who weren’t willing to deliver, we arranged for trucks to pick up the goods.

Our company actually owns its own fleet of trucks, unlike many small logistics companies. In our industry, only about 10% of companies have their own trucks, and we’re one of the few.

Initially, I tried sending our drivers to pick up the goods directly from the suppliers, but this led to several issues: 1) The drivers found it inconvenient to pick up goods from multiple suppliers at once. 2) Communication with suppliers was challenging. 3) Traffic restrictions and congestion in the city center were serious problems. 4) Delays in unloading at the warehouse could result in extra charges, like waiting fees and loading/unloading fees.

After discussing with my supervisor, we came up with a solution: 1) Confirm the goods and pickup times with the suppliers. 2) I, along with my colleague Hank, went to Guangzhou to oversee the pickups in person. We followed the plan and collected the goods from the designated areas. This approach worked well, and we quickly gathered all the client’s goods and delivered them to the warehouse on time.

Since these suppliers are mostly small domestic sellers, they couldn’t provide proper packing lists, invoices, or customs documents. So, I provided them with Sunny Worldwide Logistics' multi-supplier document collection form and customs declaration form, asking them to fill in the details based on their goods. However, some suppliers couldn’t even use a computer, which was a big challenge. I ended up asking them to handwrite the information, and I entered it into the computer for them.

In the end, there were over 50 types of goods. With the help of my colleagues, we categorized them into 11 main groups and prepared the customs and clearance documents for the client.

Expedite IT:  Road Traffic Counting System in Riyadh, Jeddah and across the KSA                                            

Navigating the Roads: Road Traffic Counting in the KSA

The flow of traffic on roads is a regular element of life in cities particularly in busy cities such as Riyadh, Jeddah, and throughout the KSA. Being aware of and controlling traffic energetically is vital to ensure the smooth flow of traffic and decreasing the congestion of roads. That's where the process of counting traffic can play a significant role. By conducting traffic surveys and count, authorities can collect vital information for data collection and analysis of traffic flows and monitoring traffic. Let's explore the ways traffic congestion research as well as patterns of traffic analysis help in efficient traffic control within the KSA.

Understanding Road Traffic Counting        

Traffic counting on roads requires systematic data collection techniques for understanding the movements of cars across roads. Traffic surveys make use of various methods like manual counting as well as automated sensors and video analytics to aid in car tracking as well as collecting traffic data. These data are then analyzed for analysis to receive insight into the flow of traffic as well as identify areas of congestion as well as formulate efficient transportation management strategies.

Key Components of Road Traffic Counting

Traffic Surveys They are conducted with either automated or manual methods to conduct the counting of vehicles as well as gathering traffic information.

Automated Sensors Strategically installed to monitor the presence of vehicles and their movements to allow the purpose of monitoring traffic.

Video Analytics Used for sophisticated analysis of traffic flows as well as traffic pattern recognition.

Traffic Congestion Studies: Conducted to study the effect of traffic congestion and determine solutions to traffic control.

Advantages of Road Traffic Counting

Informed Decision-Making       

Information from survey of traffic as well as traffic congestion research help inform transportation and policymakers authorities of how traffic flows and hotspots for congestion. These benefit them make educated decisions on transportation management strategies as well as infrastructure development.

Improved Traffic Flow and Safety

Knowing the flow of traffic and congestion dynamics aids when implementing strategies to boost the flow of traffic and improve road security. This can include adjusting timings of signals and improving the road infrastructure and the implementation of traffic calming measures.

Efficient Infrastructure Planning

The analysis of traffic helps in the planning of infrastructure by identifying areas that are in need for expansion or enhancement. This helps assure that the infrastructure for transportation can keep up with the pace of urban development and growth in population. This leads to better transportation control.

Implementing Road Traffic Counting in the KSA

Within the KSA, traffic counting initiatives are supervised by state-run agencies such as that of Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) in Riyadh as well as the Department of Transport (DoT) in Jeddah. The agencies employ a mixture of surveys conducted by hand, computerized sensors and video analytics to complete tracking of traffic as well as the collection of data on traffic.

Conclusion

In the end, road traffic counting is crucial for efficient traffic control for the cities of Riyadh, Jeddah, as well as across the KSA. Utilizing the collection of traffic data techniques and carrying out studies on traffic congestion authorities will be able to collect important insight into the patterns of traffic and traffic congestion patterns. It allows them to take specific measures to improve circulation as well as improving safety on the road and ultimately resulting in greater efficiency and sustainability of the transport system.

FAQ's

How accurate are automated traffic counting sensors?

Automated traffic-counting sensors are very precise and reliable. They serve precise information regarding the vehicle's count as well as the flow of traffic.

What is the frequency of traffic surveys carried out in Riyadh and Jeddah?

The traffic surveys are carried out often in Riyadh and Jeddah to monitor patterns of traffic and determine the efficiency of traffic control strategies.

What can the use of traffic data for control of traffic within the KSA?

The data on traffic flow can be used to benefit inform strategies for traffic management strategies. This includes the timing of signals improvement to infrastructure, the enhancement of public transport, leading to a better circulation as well as reducing congestion

RNZ Pacific 0509 20 Jun 2024

17675Khz 0459 20 JUN 2024 - RNZ PACIFIC (NEW ZEALAND) in ENGLISH from RANGITAIKI. SINPO = 55334. English, "Checkpoint" preview until pips and news @0500z anchored by Evie Ashton. Many homes and businesses in Northland are without power after a Transpower tower fell near Kumeū about 11am on Thursday. The region's largest power generator, Northpower, says the outage might last until the end of Friday - or even beyond. The crisis arose after Northpower lost a major high voltage line into the substation at Maungatapere, a major feed from the grid, which caused much of the region to lose its supply. Northpower says of its 60,000 customers 50,000 of them are currently without power on thursday evening. The economy has edged out of recession, driven by service industries and energy production, but economists were unexcited by the data, which they said showed a soggy, weak economy. The Transport Agency will have to start counting up what it spends on an "infestation" of road cones and temporary traffic management from September. Transport Minister Simeon Brown told a Budget scrutiny select committee on Thursday afternoon it was "unacceptable" that NZTA did not know these costs. Invercargill mayor Nobby Clark will be asked to resign at an upcoming extraordinary meeting following another code of conduct complaint. The meeting on Friday has been called as a result of the complaint. Hundreds of people died during this year’s Hajj pilgrimage to mecca in Saudi Arabia as the faithful faced intense high temperatures (50°C) at Islamic holy sites. Heatwaves and wildfires strike across the United States as a tropical storm forms in gulf of Mexico adding to the extreme weather.

When it rains in the Balkans, it really rains and there is no stopping it. It comes off the mountains and will last for hours on end. Today was one of those days. I didn’t bring an umbrella with me because it’s the last thing that I thought I would need in Albania and plus I didn’t have a clue where to purchase one either.

I ran through the rain, taking shelter whenever I could. I took refuge in a coffee shop and had a toasty and cappuccino. Next, I ran to the National Historical Museum. The lady at the ticket desk counted the takings furiously before firmly telling me “only Lek”. In doing so she accepted the €5 from my hand and placed it into a book, she then handed me a blank ticket with a single entry barcode.

The museum was good and told the story of Albania from prehistoric times up until the fall of communism. It was insightful, but it felt disorganised and it was hard to follow the story chronologically. Nevertheless, the displays and the building itself were impressive. The museum contains Hoxha’s uniform and rifle from WW2, which he used he when liberating Albania from Italian and then German occupation.

Exiting the museum, I made my way across Skanderbeg Square to a taxi rank. I agreed on a price of €10 and the driver took me to Bunk’Art1 on the outskirts of the city. The traffic was horrendous. After a 30 minute ride, we arrived at Bunk’Art1 and drove through a long tunnel to the entrance.

Thanking the taxi driver, I walked through the rain up a steep hill, through the woods and into the mountains. Somewhere on my ascend I found the entrance to a nuclear bunker which is Bunk’Art1. It is similar to Bunk’Art2, although this one tells the story Albania’s military history. This bunker is a lot larger than the other one. It penetrates deep into the mountainside and goes down a long way. It was built during Hoxha’s reign but it was never used. However, there have been times when it was close to being used, the most recent being in 1999 when NATO bombed Belgrade. The Albanian government feared that Serbia may bomb Tirana as a result of Albania’s support for Kosovo. Thankfully, this did not materialise.

Somewhere in the depths of the bunker I struck up conversation with some lads from Saudi Arabia. They were on a boys holidays to Albania. It was great talking to them and it made me appreciate how western some Saudi are. Any cultural differences between us were limited until we spoke about football. They supported Arsenal, there is nothing more to say.

I exited the bunker and made my way back to the main road. It was still raining. There was a nearby cable car which would have taken up to the top of the mountain. There you have a view of Tirana and the national park. It’s closed for maintenance on Tuesdays, but I wasn’t too bothered, I was too wet to care.

The number 11 bus sped by and stoped at the side of the road. I jumped on and offered my money to the driver. As I did a bus conductor dressed in a tracksuit approached me and I purchased a ticket. It cost 40 Lek, about 30p. The journey back to the centre took around 45 minutes. Most of it was spent sat in traffic. Eventually we pulled up next to Skanderbeg Square. The door of the bus opened and closed, whilst people started pushing and shouting. People struggled to get off whilst others were determined to get on. It was chaos. I don’t know what people didn’t just get off through the back door, but oh well.

In the evening when the rain had finally stopped, I went back to the Old Bazaar for food. Again, the food and beer tasted ok, but it wasn’t amazing. After dinner I explored the city some more. I managed to get close to the Pyramid of Tirana and climb to the top. It was a very steep climb and it looks as though it has just opened as a youth centre. In fact, I think that it hosted the conference the day before. On my way to the New Irish Bar, I discovered Enver Hoxha’s former house. It’s not a museum and I don’t know who owns it now. For a former dictators house, it wasn’t too grand.

I found the New Irish Pub and ordered an Albanian beer. The pub played good music and had a buzz about it. That was until the karaoke started. At first it was a bit of fun, but soon enough the bad singing made it unbearable and so I went home. As I walked back, the usual sea of brand new german cars patrolled the streets, all driven by men in their 20s. For a poorer country, I have never seen this amount of new german cars. Well, come to think of it, I have never seen this many new german cars in any city, and that includes Germany! Something isn’t right.

Border crossings strain resources in Rio Grande Valley (AP) Elmer Maldonado spent a week in immigration custody with his 1-year-old son after crossing the Rio Grande through Texas to request asylum. One night, the Honduran father and son slept on the dirt under a bridge shivering from the cold temperatures at an intake site where large groups of migrants turn themselves in to Border Patrol officers. His experience illustrates a cycle that is repeating itself thousands of times a week amid a dramatic rise in migrant children and families at the U.S.-Mexico border: They arrive in the middle of the night by the dozens and are kept at outdoor intake sites, then taken to overcrowded detention facilities well past the 72-hour court-imposed limit. From there, the families are either released into the U.S. or expelled to Mexico, the lucky ones dropped off at a COVID-19 testing site with documents. Children traveling without their parents go to federal shelters that are also quickly filling up. The process is largely out of the public eye. The Associated Press has not been allowed in any of the Border Patrol facilities. Journalists are often limited by authorities even when going to the banks of the Rio Grande to witness the process and talk to immigrants.

Capitol fencing removed 77 days after deadly riot (USA Today) An imposing fence-line strung with razor wire has been removed from the outer perimeter of the U.S. Capitol complex, more than two months after the deadly siege. Capitol Police said Wednesday that local streets blocked by the network of barriers also had been re-opened to traffic, though authorities said they are prepared to “quickly ramp up security at a moment’s notice, if needed.” An inner-perimeter fence around the actual Capitol building will remain in place while police and lawmakers continue to hash out a long-term security plan.

US saw estimated 4,000 extra murders in 2020 amid surge in daily gun violence (Guardian) For exactly a year during the pandemic, the United States did not see a single high-profile public mass shooting. But a surge in daily gun violence contributed to an estimated 4,000 additional murders throughout 2020, in what experts warn will probably be the worst single-year increase in murders on record. Early estimates suggest the US may have seen at least 4,000 more murders last year than in 2019, and potentially as many as 5,000 more, according to projections based on FBI data, though complete official statistics will not be available until the fall. Many of the homicides are concentrated in communities of color that have historically seen the worst burden of daily gun violence, including in Philadelphia, St Louis, Chicago and Oakland.

In Myanmar, a New Resistance Rises (NYT) In a jungle in the borderlands of Myanmar, the troops sweated through basic training. They learned how to load a rifle, pull the pin of a hand grenade and assemble a firebomb. These cadets are not members of Myanmar’s military, which seized power last month and quickly imposed a battlefield brutality on the country’s populace. Instead, they are an eclectic corps of students, activists and ordinary office workers who believe that fighting back is the only way to defeat one of the world’s most ruthless armed forces. After weeks of peaceful protests, the frontline of Myanmar’s resistance to the Feb. 1 coup is mobilizing into a kind of guerrilla force. In the cities, protesters have built barricades to protect neighborhoods from military incursions and learned how to make smoke bombs on the internet. In the forests, they are training in basic warfare techniques and plotting to sabotage military-linked facilities. The opposition is a defensive response to the military’s mounting reign of terror. The Tatmadaw has cracked down on peaceful protesters and unarmed bystanders alike, killing at least 275 people since the coup, according to a monitoring group.

Torch relay for Tokyo Olympics kicks off its 121-day journey (AP) The torch relay for the postponed Tokyo Olympics began its 121-day journey across Japan on Thursday and is headed toward the opening ceremony in Tokyo on July 23. The relay began in northeastern Fukushima prefecture, the area that was devastated by the 2011 earthquake, tsunami and the meltdown of three nuclear reactors. About 18,000 died in the tragedy. About 10,000 runners are expected to take part, with the relay touching Japan’s 47 prefectures.

Taiwan beefing up its defenses (South China Morning Post) Taiwan has begun mass production of a long-range missile and is developing three other models, a senior official said on Thursday, in a rare admission of efforts to develop strike capacity amid growing pressure from mainland China. The island’s armed forces are in the middle of a modernization program to offer a more effective deterrent, including the ability to hit back at bases deep within mainland China in the event of a conflict.

Some Australians return home as others evacuated in floods crisis (Reuters) Australians hit by devastating floodwaters began returning to their homes on Thursday as skies cleared and authorities accelerated clean-up efforts, though fresh evacuation orders were issued in some areas where water levels were still rising. Relentless rains for five straight days—the worst downpour in more than half a century—burst river banks, inundating homes, roads, bridges and farms and cutting off entire towns in Australia’s east. More than 40,000 people were forced to move to safe zones and two men were killed after their cars became trapped in floodwaters. Water continued to flow from overloaded dams and rivers on Thursday, particularly in New South Wales state, leading authorities to urge caution. Major flooding also continues in Sydney’s western suburbs of North Richmond and Windsor, while fresh evacuation orders were issued for some areas in the centre of the state.

One man’s mission offers Beirut neighbourhood a vision of hope after blast (Reuters) The sheer scale of the destruction in Beirut’s Karantina district after the massive explosion at the port last August made rebuilding a daunting feat. That was where Marc Torbey El Helou, a charity worker, came in. The low-income neighbourhood was one of the closest to the blast that killed 200 people. It stands across from the giant, mutilated grain silo that has become a symbol of the tragedy. Helou decided a day after the explosion to dedicate himself, and the aid group he runs, to rebuilding the neighbourhood. Just removing the rubble required 300 truckloads. Some buildings needed immediate help to stop them collapsing. Helou says the same of Karantina’s residents. “There were children here who would not laugh or play for months.” Helou’s charity, Offre Joie (Joy of Giving), has repaired Lebanese districts hit by war and violence since 1985. “Unfortunately, it means we have the experience for this,” said Helou, 33, who has used a wheelchair since a diving accident in 2016. With the Lebanese state hollowed out by decades of corruption and failure, it fell to aid groups and volunteers like Helou to rebuild the city. Offre Joie took on six blocks in Karantina and nearby. That includes the homes of about 350 families. More than seven months after the explosion, one of the largest non-nuclear detonations on record, many residents have yet to return. But the streets are bustling with life again, and the buildings never looked so good. The charity’s budget was trapped in the bank thanks to controls imposed during Lebanon’s financial crisis. But donations poured in from abroad: up to three million dollars in cash, construction material and containers full of food. Thousands of volunteers also came, including engineers and psychologists.

Musical Chairs But The Song Never Ends (NYT) Four elections in two years have failed to give Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu the necessary 61 seats to form a coalition government with a majority in Parliament. With more than 90% of Wednesday’s vote counted, Netanyahu’s right-wing alliance had 52 seats and his opponents had 56. And the gridlock extends beyond the election. Administrative stagnation has left Israel without a national budget for two consecutive years in the middle of a pandemic, and with several key Civil Service posts unstaffed. The idea that the political deadlock paralyzing the country isn’t going to get better, and in fact appears to have gotten worse, has Israelis pondering the viability of their electoral system, the functionality of their government and whether the divisions between the country’s various politics—secular and devout, right-wing and leftist, Jewish and Arab—have made the nation unmanageable. A Tel Aviv-based analyst said Israel isn’t yet a failed state, like Lebanon, because it still has institutions. “But there is definitely erosion,” she said. “Not having a budget for two years—this is really dangerous.”

Saudi official denies threat to harm UN Khashoggi investigator (Reuters) A senior Saudi official denied on Thursday he had threatened to harm the human rights expert who led the U.N. investigation into the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, after the United Nations confirmed the expert’s account of the threat. Agnes Callamard, the U.N. expert on summary killings, has said that a Saudi official threatened at a Jan. 2020 meeting in Geneva that she would be “taken care of” if she was not reined in following her investigation into the journalist’s murder. She said the remark was interpreted by U.N. officials as a “death threat”. The United Nations confirmed her account on Wednesday, describing the remark as a “threat”. Neither Callamard nor the United Nations has identified the Saudi official who made the remark. However, the head of Saudi Arabia’s human rights commission, Awwad Alawwad, identified himself as the official on Thursday, while denying he had intended any threat.

Stuck ship in Egypt’s Suez Canal imperils shipping worldwide (Washington Post) A skyscraper-sized cargo ship wedged across Egypt’s Suez Canal further imperiled global shipping Thursday as at least 150 other vessels needing to pass through the crucial waterway idled waiting for the obstruction to clear, authorities said. The Ever Given, a Panama-flagged ship that carries cargo between Asia and Europe, ran aground Tuesday in the narrow, man-made canal dividing continental Africa from the Sinai Peninsula. In the time since, efforts to free the ship using dredgers, digging and the aid of high tides have yet to push the container vessel aside—affecting billions of dollars’ worth of cargo. Overall, famed shipping journal Lloyd’s List estimates each day the Suez Canal is closed disrupts over $9 billion worth of goods that should be passing through the waterway. A quarter of all Suez Canal traffic a day comes from container ships like the Ever Given, the journal said. “Blocking something like the Suez Canal really sets in motion a number of dominos toppling each other over,” said Lars Jensen, chief executive of Denmark-based SeaIntelligence Consulting. “The effect is not only going to be the simple, immediate one with cargo being delayed over the next few weeks, but will actually have repercussions several months down the line for the supply chain.”

Who Do You Love by John Doran

Who Do You Love?

We drove 5,000 miles of barbed wire.

You’d think that by travelling that distance around a country you could get the measure of it. Especially if the country was only 361 miles from top to bottom and even less from East to West. You’d be thinking reasonably but not accurately.

Despite journeying the equivalent of one fifth of the circumference of the entire Earth in 31 days, all we got to see was the road itself. England endless. What we experienced was just a percentage of a splodge, a smidge of a blotch on the coastal fringe of Europe that deserved neither the sobriquet Great, nor the title United. How did such a small area of land contain such extravagant lengths of major road? In the same way that a human body could house a tapeworm 33 metres long. Probably not comfortably but hopefully not fatally either. Undoubtedly, in May 2015 - general election month - England had beauty to spare: it’s just that none of it was visible from the motorway.

We met on the forecourt of a petrol station near an airport. Heat haze was already starting to rise from the tarmac. The Driver was dressed immaculately in a tight-fitting black suit, shades and wide-brimmed black hat. His concession to non-monochromatic decoration was silver chains carrying cocks and crosses. He looked like Asa Hawkes, the “blind” preacher from Flannery O’Connor’s Wise Blood - but much thinner. He tipped the brim of his hat hello. This was not his stage hat but his everyday hat. His stage hat, the kind of prairie Stetson featured in the opening scene of Holy Mountain was massive and kept in the kind of box that suggested it was an essential part of a drum kit. It had its own carefully allotted slot in the back of the van with the tons of amplifiers, speaker cabinets, guitars, synthesizers, boxes of books, suitcases full of clothes and bags and bags of oranges we were taking with us. There was only one way to fit all of this stuff into the vehicle, and packing it correctly was like 3-D Tetris. All it took was one giant, impractical hat in the wrong place and then everything had to be taken out again and reloaded in the correct position.

He was the colour of milk, which made the angry red scars up either side of his neck all the more vivid. He looked like the missing link between human being and some future race of Lovecraftian eel-men who would be able to breathe via gills under water.

As well as me and the Driver, there was the Passenger. She looked more like she had stepped straight from the set of Bladerunner than a Jodorowsky or John Huston movie. This was to be their last tour as boyfriend and girlfriend as they were headed straight to a deconsecrated church in rural Sweden to get married as soon as the trip ended. I was merely a temporary guest in their world. A road voyeur with a month long pass.

Within minutes of setting off we hit the M25 we became enmeshed in May Day traffic. I realised that most of the month was going to be spent looking at slow moving traffic on motorways.

But just as driving to Brighton was slow and painful, leaving it the next day was a dream. On the motorway, time stretched and contracted simultaneously in temporal doppler effect. The days seemed longer but time blistered, popped and broke apart pleasantly as the brain switched down a few gears into a near pure experiential mode. There was little to worry about. All I could do was count the pylons and pretend I had a flamethrower to aim at UKIP billboards and hoardings; to luxuriate in motorway sign typography and listen to Maggot Brain as loud as it would go. Miles Davis’ Agharta was the soundtrack to us speeding out of the south up the M1 towards the Rainy City. Al Foster’s ringing, open hi-hat was our fuel. And then it was nothing but John Coltrane, Electric Wizard and NOMEANSNO until we reached our destination. It started raining the second we hit Stoke. And then before long we were on the Mancunian Way heading for Piccadilly in torrential rain, parking the van under a tangle of flyovers. When I planned this jaunt it was a thing of beauty. I took an AA road map and unfolded it until it covered half the floor space in my tiny living room. I took a sheet of stickers from my son’s Thomas The Tank Engine magazine and created a spiral of towns and cities, first round the edges near the coast and then spiraling in toward the centre. Our proposed journey looked like an occult temporal and spatial message only discernable from the god perspective. What I planned was a perfect thing. But after you plan your perfect thing what happens is this: promoters start phoning you up or emailing you. ‘We’ve double booked you with a Stereophonics tribute act’; ‘There’s actually a bar mitzvah on that day’; ‘It’s Record Store Day.’ And then the perfect thing falls to pieces. By the time we hit the road the perfect thing looked like that terrifying film of a spider on LSD trying to spin a web. And there was only one thing worse than a spider on LSD trying to spin a web and that was a spider on caffeine trying to spin a web.

We stopped for several coffees en route to Sunderland the next day. The weather was beautiful. Fields of golden rape seed glowed under a blue sky. But I gave up counting the UKIP billboards. There were just too many. The purple pound signs zipped past in a blur. We’d been on the road for five days and I hadn’t seen a single sign for Labour. It was almost a relief when we passed a huge hoarding in an arable field next to a broken tractor which proclaimed: “Prepare to meet your Lord!” We pulled in soon after to stretch our legs in front of a petrol station that shared a forecourt with a sex shop wrapped in a large tarpaulin hoarding, proclaiming: “Under new management!” Next door was a garden centre flying a row of ten confederate flags and two Union Jacks. There was a knackered and rusty jet stream caravan serving up plastic cups of filter coffee.

It became clear early on that the Travelodge was our friend. Every Travelodge the Driver, the Passenger and I shared was identical. A family room. One double bed, one fold out couch bed, minimal decoration, very interesting mass produced art, scant furniture, tea making facilities and a portable telly, often chained to the wall. The Travelodge may have had less furniture in it than the average bail hostel and may sometimes have smelled like a suburban pet shop from 1984 but it was totally fine as we were low ranking touring musicians and writers, not visiting dignitaries from Saudi Arabia.

After Leeds, our Travelodge was situated in a motorway retail park so the following morning we walked just a few hundred yards to the Toby Carvery for breakfast. Pushing open the double swing doors we were confronted by a man in stained chef’s whites, with hair pushed under a light blue plastic turban crowning a jowly and crimson face. He was methodically and noisily applying a large cleaver to a foot long cylindrical sharpening steel with a schnick-schnick sound.

“Hello!” said the Driver cheerfully. “Are you Toby?”

The chef looked up slowly and a pendulous and translucent bead of sweat swayed under his nose. His eyes were like drill holes in gammon. Bruised udders of flesh were hanging below each of his nicotine-stained ocular orbs. He was possibly the most hungover man I had ever seen. He jawed away silently, his eyes flickering dully with rage as he started straightening up. The BPM of metal on metal increased. The three of us circled round him gingerly and headed rapidly for the breakfast counter past tables rammed full of people who looked like they were about to die. I had never seen so many morbidly obese people in one place at one time. It was like God’s waiting room with unlimited fried egg.

Oh England, you are sick.

It was only £5 per head and you could eat as much as you wanted but the choice was only bacon, sausages, roast potatoes, black pudding, fried egg, fried bread, beans and mushrooms. The thrill of the open road. Unlimited roast potatoes and bacon for breakfast.

(We spent just one night at the supposedly more upmarket Premier Inn, and it was relatively more luxurious but due to its incomprehensible automated reception machine, it took us an hour and a long conversation with two angry Premier Inn employees to gain access to our room. “Getting into this hotel was like the opening scene from a new episode of Black Mirror”, said the Driver, a recent convert to the show. “There’s nothing like waking up in some shitty English town, before eating some shitty English breakfast before driving slowly down some shitty English motorway for 12 hours before loading into some shitty English venue and playing a shitty gig to ten people before going to some shitty Travelodge just to watch a really well made English TV series which explains to you exactly why everything is so fucked”, he told me gleefully.)

Any hotel room was actually very much like home as long as you had a laptop, a handful of Nick Cave CDs, some Right Guard and a copy of Threads on DVD, which happened to be the exact contents of my overnight hotel bag.

Waking up in another identical Travelodge on another identical Motorway retail park the next day I realised finally that this was literally the worst place for a writer to be during general election month. Nowhere had wifi that worked. It was like being in a bubble of ignorance for 31 days. We had to choose these parks to minimise the chances of the splitter van getting stolen with all of our gear inside it. Every Travelodge we stayed in was essentially the same, surrounded by a handful of other outlets - a Toby Carvery or a Harvester or, if you were really unlucky, both of them. Then maybe also a Costa, a Boots and an Esso petrol station as well. They were all accessible from a motorway roundabout that wasn’t really near anything other than either an airport, a prison or an industrial estate. A vague hangover from reading JG Ballard as a schoolboy led me to believe that there would be some kind of mind-expanding nourishment to be had from this aspect of the venture but these motorway retail parks were all identical. They were the most co-opted and least free spaces of all.

After breakfast, outside, sitting on a wall drinking a cup of tea in the sunshine, I looked intently at a semicircle of rooks surrounding a single bird of their own kind. They were slowly advancing in toward it. The bird in the middle was stock still and not moving. It didn’t look like a friendly encounter. The Driver and the Passenger came out and joined me. The parliament were just about to attack the accused in order to peck it to death but just as the corvine jury bore down, they were disturbed by a loud noise from above. The Red Arrows flew over the Travelodge in formation causing them to scatter  It felt almost as if the Driver existed in a bubble of weird, uncanny, apocalyptic and esoteric events that moved with him wherever he roved. But it was also as if he barely noticed any of them. I stood pointing at the sky.

“Yes, yes” he snapped irritably as if he was sick of seeing this kind of thing. “Let’s get in the van and get off otherwise we won’t get to Digbeth in time.”

That night I dreamt that the solid iron core of the Earth was about to slough us all off until the planet stood raw and bleeding in space, just roiling magma with no skin to contain it. The utter indignity of being born between waves, the scions of a pusillanimous age we were all about to be cast into the void with the filthy scab of a country we called England. A flat and unmagical land. A depressing and tawdry place. When I opened my eyes Toby was stood in the corner of the room, sharpening his cleaver, schnick, schnick, schnick, schnick. Empty eye sockets carved out of rancid, fly-blown gammon.  

“We have to stop eating lunch at the Harvester!” I sprang out of my fold out bed and shouted at the Driver and the Passenger, waking them from their sleep. “The full rack of ribs is fucking killing me!”

Fuck the Harvester. Fuck Toby Carvery. All of the clothes that were hanging off me on May 1 were now snug and it was only May 12. My ears were ringing with the premonition of some future blue cheese dressing related pulmonary event.

It was easy to see how ruinous life on the road could be, even when you didn’t drink or do drugs. I felt sorry for younger bands who felt they had to go out partying every night after shows. After a couple of weeks it must end up hellish.

The road to Hull was paved with UKIP signs. Only Necrosis by Cadaver played at ear disrespecting volumes kept us sane. It was dark as we drove into town and ghosts lined Ferensway waiting to greet me. The cinema where I’d had my first date in town, the pair of us just turned 18 - watching Shirley Valentine no less, saying, “Imagine being that old” about Pauline Collins and Bernard Hill - was now a bingo hall. The war memorial that I regularly drank sherry in front of on a bench. The Welly nightclub where I saw a punter swan dive off a balcony and go headfirst through the corner of a formica table. When they took him out on a stretcher there was a blanket pulled up over his face. And then down past my old house on De Grey Street and into the car park of the Adelphi. And then the ghosts waved us back out of town.

The drive to Great Yarmouth was gruelling and 13-hours long because of traffic - we got stuck behind no less than three serious road accidents. Bodies strewn across baking tarmac. Bloodied travellers weeping in incomprehension at the hard shoulder. Slow moving the traffic might have been but at least we had plenty of long albums to listen to. Just like a mattress in a shared student house or the narrative flow of the Bayeux Tapestry - Kendrick Lamar’s To Pimp A Butterfly sagged in the middle but it was very, very long, making it ideal for the van.

Eight hours later, after the show, we flew down the A47 unimpeded like we were clinging to a rocket, listening to Slayer albums sequentially at full volume, gabbling like a bunch of four-year-olds as we went. By the last day, I felt like I was about to die and constantly on the verge of tears. I didn’t want it to end. It was the best of times. It was the worst of times. It was the worst of times. It was genuinely the worst of all times. And yet I’d crawl over broken glass to be able to do it all again right now.

You know, if you really want to get the measure of a country don’t drive round it. Take a train or walk. Maybe buy a bicycle or a skateboard or something.

We drove 5,000 miles of barbed wire and parked the splitter van by the roadside.

Road Traffic Counting Surveys: A Vital Element in Transportation Planning :

Transportation planning is one of the critical components of urban development planning. Road traffic counting surveys play a vital role in enabling transportation planners to make informed decisions about road and traffic management. In this article, we will explore what road traffic counting surveys are, why they are essential, and how they are conducted.

What are Road Traffic Counting Surveys?

Road traffic counting surveys are conducted to gather data on the number and types of vehicles that use a particular road section or intersection. The traffic data collection usually includes details such as the number of vehicles, their speed, and direction of travel. This data can be used to develop traffic management plans, identify areas that require improvement, and estimate future transportation needs

Traffic flow: Traffic flow data provides information on the volume of traffic that uses a particular road section. This information is critical in analyzing traffic congestion and identifying areas that require improvement.

   Speed: Speed data can help transportation planners evaluate the safety of the road section by identifying areas where vehicles are traveling at excessively high speeds, leading to accidents.

 Types of vehicles: Knowing the types of vehicles that use a particular road section helps planners identify areas that may require special infrastructure, such as dedicated bike lanes or sidewalks.

Florida’s schools shouldn’t shut down because of COVID-19 infections, Gov. DeSantis says

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Closing schools for months at the outset of the coronavirus pandemic was a mistake that won’t be repeated, and only students who develop symptoms should be isolated, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said Tuesday.

During a visit to a charter school in Jacksonville, the governor said over 60% of the state’s 2.8 million students in pre-K to 12th grade are getting in-person instruction, and it’s an increasingly popular option because infection risks are low.

“Going forward, whatever the future may hold, school closures should be off the table,” DeSantis said. “They don’t do anything to mitigate COVID, but they do cause catastrophic damage to the physical, mental and social well being of our youth. Let’s not repeat any mistakes of the past.”

The governor said that after two months of most schools in the state being open, there have not been major outbreaks or causes of concern about the virus spreading among students.

“It’s obviously even more clear now that schools are not drivers of spreading coronavirus, and schools need to be open,” he said. “It is a bad public health policy to have schools closed.”

When asked about schools that have had cases of infected students, DeSantis said it doesn’t make sense to force their classmates to quarantine for two weeks unless they are having virus symptoms.

“You should not be quarantining healthy students,” he said, adding that schools shouldn’t “throw in the towel” and close because of a few sick kids.

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman faces US lawsuit for Khashoggi killing

The fiancee of murdered Saudi critic Jamal Khashoggi and a Washington-based organization accused Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman of ordering the killing in a lawsuit filed in a U.S. court on Tuesday.

Prince Mohammed and more than 20 other Saudis are named in the complaint, filed in District of Columbia federal court, lawyer Keith Harper, a partner at Jenner & Block, said in a virtual news conference Tuesday. The suit was brought on behalf of Khashoggi’s Turkish fiancee, Hatice Cengiz, and Democracy for the Arab World Now, an advocacy organization founded by Khashoggi before his death.

Damages should be determined at trial, Harper said.

The Saudi government’s Center for International Communication didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

Khashoggi, a columnist for The Washington Post, was killed and dismembered by Saudi agents at the kingdom’s consulate in Istanbul in 2018, sparking an international outcry and straining Saudi Arabia’s close relationship with the U.S.

At the time of his death, Khashoggi was a U.S. resident, living in self-imposed exile during a period of increasing constraints on freedom of expression in his home country. Prince Mohammed has denied any involvement in the killing, while accepting “full responsibility” for it as the country’s de facto leader.

Cengiz and DAWN are suing under the Torture Victim Protection Act and the Alien Tort Statute, which give the U.S. court system jurisdiction over lawsuits alleging certain types of offenses in other countries.

The plaintiffs claim that Prince Mohammed and the other defendants were troubled when they learned of Khashoggi’s plans to establish DAWN and hatched a plan to lure him to Turkey to silence him. Legal co-counsel Keith Gill said one of their main goals is to use the discovery process to obtain documents and information from both Saudi Arabia and the U.S. government that could shed more light on the murder.

Spencer Davis, ’60s British bandleader, has died

Spencer Davis, the veteran British rocker whose 1960s beat band featuring a teenaged Steve Winwood spawned the transatlantic megahit “Gimme Some Lovin’,” has died.

The guitarist passed away Monday at age 81 while being treated in a hospital for pneumonia, his agent told the BBC.

Davis co-founded The Spencer Davis Group in 1963 with a 14-year-old Winwood and older sibling Muff Winwood after seeing the brothers perform at a Birmingham pub.

They had their first No. 1 single with “Keep on Running” in 1965 and released the blues rock classic “I’m a Man” before Winwood left the group in 1967 to form Traffic.

The Spencer Davis Group’s smash hits featured Winwood on vocals, but the band was named after Davis because he was the one who “enjoyed doing interviews,” Muff Winwood told Mojo in 1997.

“If we called it the Spencer Davis Group, the rest of us could stay in bed and let him do them,” Muff reportedly said.

Davis continued performing after both Winwood brothers departed, reforming the Spencer Davis Group in the 1970s and touring as recently as 2017.

He also worked as an A&R executive at Island Records in the mid-1970s, promoting the likes of Bob Marley, Robert Palmer and Steve Winwood in his solo career.

“He was a very good friend,” Bob Birk, who worked with Davis for more than 30 years, told the BBC.

Dozens of stolen Trump campaign signs lead to charges in North Carolina, cops say

A traffic stop in North Carolina led to dozens of stolen campaign signs for President Donald Trump, officials say.

A car was pulled over for speeding when state troopers spotted several political signs, the Onslow County Sheriff’s Office said Monday in a news release. In all, 66 signs in support of Trump were found, according to deputies.

Investigators discovered they were taken from around Haw Branch Road, where at least two residents reported missing signs, officials say. The area is roughly 40 miles northwest of the Camp Lejeune U.S. Marine Corps Base in Eastern North Carolina.

Now, two 18-year-olds face charges in connection with the case.

Trinity Rose-Graham and Sasha Stukov-Taylor were each charged with misdemeanor stealing and removing political signs and three counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor, according to the sheriff’s office. They are set to appear in court next month, state records show.

“Three juveniles were released to family members with pending juvenile petitions,” the sheriff’s office said.

It isn’t the first time campaign signs reportedly have vanished in North Carolina.

Last week, police said a 40-foot-wide Trump banner was stolen from the side of a trailer in Boone. Near Asheville and Raleigh, residents reported signs in support of the president and his opponent, Joe Biden, disappeared or were vandalized, McClatchy News reported.
