Car hits pole, flips over in Kingston; authorities yet to locate driver - The Daily Freeman

Image
KINGSTON, N.Y. — The driver of a car headed out of the city on Linderman Avenue early Christmas morning hit a utility pole and flipped over before apparently leaving the scene, officials said Saturday. The Kingston Fire Department responded at 7:18 a.m. Saturday to the intersection of Linderman Avenue and Sherwood Drive and found a car upside down and "nobody around the car on arrival," Chief Chris Rea said. Rea said the crash did not cut power to homes in the neighborhood and that the pole was given the "thumbs-up" by Central Hudson Gas & Electric Corp. employees. Late Saturday morning, Kingston Police Department Sgt. Kirk Strand said the driver had not been found. Adblock test (Why?)

Tragedy strikes midriver - The Daily Star

The engine of MV Abhijan-10 developed problems a few hours after it left Dhaka for Barguna around 6:00pm on Thursday. The staffers of the launch tried to fix it, but kept the vessel going with more than a thousand people on board. The passengers noticed the engine behaving erroneously. Little did they know that this would lead to a massive tragedy, claiming at least 40 lives.  The people on the bottom floor of the vessel felt everything getting hot nearly half an hour after it left Barishal Launch Terminal around 1:30am yesterday. Most of the passengers were asleep in the cabins and on the decks, but those on the bottom deck were the first to feel extreme heat. Soon, they saw flames emanating from the engine room and those on the roof saw fire churning out of the exhaust pipe when the vessel was around a kilometre off Jhalakathi Launch Terminal. Instead of stopping at the terminal, the master kept going forward on the Sugandha river until an explosion caused a huge...

Image
While Cyber Monday tends to bring deals on everything from Android phones to cars and beyond, not everything is destined for a doorbuster deal on November 26. Google has made its best Pixel ever this year, by a wide margin, and that means that many of you will likely be hoping to save a few hundred on one this holiday shopping season. Unfortunately, like everything Google sells, Black Friday Google Pixel deals are a bit more complicated than most. Here's why and how you can find the best deals even when they're scarce. Source: Alex Dobie / Android Central Where to find the best Cyber Monday Google Pixel deals Google Pixel deals will mostly be found from two places: the Google Store and at your local carrier. While Amazon has traditionally seen the best deals on Google Pixel phones around, Amazon can't seem to keep Pixel phones in stock right now. The Google Store has better availability, but fewer deals. Other retailers like Best Buy, B&H, Target, and Walmart ...

Seismic event or overblown rebrand: Local search experts weigh in on 'death' of Google My Business - Search Engine Land

Image
Just over a month ago, Google announced that it would be making some important changes to Google My Business, the platform that recently further asserted its dominance over other local pack ranking factors in Whitespark's annual Local Ranking Factors survey. Image: Whitespark. These changes included retiring the Google My Business name in favor of "Google Business Profile," improving the functionality of the "direct edit" experience (in which a business owner can manage their profile directly from the search results), and retiring the Google My Business mobile app in 2022. Google My Business's place at the heart of any local business's online marketing and visibility efforts means that any significant changes cannot be ignored. Tie those updates in with a name change — something that usually generates a lot of fanfare and speculation, whatever the industry — and it's easy to see why some (including myself) saw this as an emerg...

The issue that Google identified allowed non-news content to appear in the Google news search results.

One would have to carry out a search in the Google News Search Tab, while doing it with quotation marks plus ordering the search results by date. That's two extra steps beyond just plain old searching for news.
