![]() ![]() Pepsi said the title track to ″Like A Prayer″ would be heard for the first time in a commercial in prime time early next month. The Madonna deal adds another twist: using a commercial to debut a song aimed at a popular audience. Modeled as mini-music videos, the Pepsi ads have taken the conventional tactic of celebrity promotions a step further by using popular songs as the center of a direct sales pitch. Rock stars Tina Turner, David Bowie, Lionel Ritchie and the Miami Sound Machine also have appeared in Pepsi ads. Two years later, Pepsi signed Jackson for a reported $10 million to develop commercials over three years. 2 soft-drink company signed Michael Jackson and his brothers to a $5.5 million, one-year deal that was then the largest of its kind. Pepsi’s award-winning ad campaigns featuring pop music began in 1984, when the No. Terms of the Madonna contract were not disclosed, but if history is any guide the deal with the breathy, brash singer of ″Papa Don’t Preach″ and ″Whose That Girl″ and star of the movie ″Desperately Seeking Susan″ should be in the millions. ″Frankly, we like those odds.″īoth performers are known for naughty songs - ″Like a Virgin″ for Madonna and ″I Want Your Sex″ for Michael - cross jewelry and eyebrow-raising music videos. ″What’s obviously shaping up is George Michael and Diet Coke versus Madonna and sugar Pepsi,″ said Coca Cola USA spokesman Anthony Tortorici. That effort marks the first time a major diet soda has squared off directly against a leading sugared competitor, signaling a new intensity in the years-old cola wars.Ĭoke earlier this month signed Michael, the sexy pop-soul singer whose album ″Faith″ produced six hit singles, for a series of Diet Coke commercials, on top of a campaign already featuring hockey star Wayne Gretzky, model Elle MacPherson and ″Miami Vice″ star Don Johnson, a one-time Pepsi pitchman. The Madonna announcement comes on the heels of industry leader Coke’s new ad campaign aimed at pushing sales of Diet Coke past Pepsi, currently second in the market behind Coke Classic. ![]()

I prefer to use it on bare face as skincare product. I generally do not use this over makeup as it makes my skin look too dewy and feels greasy during warm weather.

When I saw those hands it clicked that this was not a legitimate roadblock and I put the car in drive and sped off.Īt the same time as I was putting the car in drive, one of the thugs put both hands on the top part of the open window and pulled causing the top part of the glass to break/bend outwards as I sped off. ![]() Luckily for me my car’s ignition is not on the right-hand side of the steering column. I put the car in park (but the engine was still on) and I decided to lower my window about 6 inches and stick out my hands out to show them that my hands were off the steering and I was not trying to run/flee like the car ahead.Īs soon as my hands went out through the 6 inch gap I saw two different hands (of two different men) come in via the open window gap trying to get the car keys and switch off the car. Then the passenger side window started cracking from repeated blows and glass shards were flying into the car. Still I thought This was because the car ahead had fled. The banging intensified and I could hear them trying to open the doors both front and rear. I could hear metal hitting glass on the passenger door window so knew one of the army guys was using the metal part of his gun on the window. They quickly started banging on windows hard shouting STOP STOP. One army guy in front and one army guy on the passenger side and six or more guys with torches in plain clothes (the one army guy in the right lane stayed where he was). ![]() The other guys with torches also started running towards us all of them shouting “STOP, STOP.” The army guy in front of the car with the AK47 ran towards us, that is also when I noticed a third army guy with an AK47 on the left running towards the passenger door. My next thought was that the are going to think I will run as well. The first thought I had was that the guy was dodging spikes in the road and had fled (there were no pikes at all but the way his car swerved looked like someone dodging spikes). Then after a few seconds I saw the car ahead dart first right then left then take off towards Kampala. I stopped a bit far away behind him just as a precaution. They approached the lead car and started to talk with the driver it seemed. I could see using his headlights that there was an army guy with an AK47 in the road asking him to stop and I could see with my lights another army guy in the right-hand lane of our two lanes also with an AK47 then lots of other guys with torches. Right after we turned into the left two lanes we moved into the extreme left lane of the two lanes I saw the car ahead slow down. There was a car ahead and a car behind mine. We were a convoy of three cars (we were all strangers to each other). The torches were big LED-torches some with very light blue light and some with soft white light. There were two guys in military fatigues (full combat head to toe) with AK47s one in our lane and one in the next lane (catching cars coming from Kampala) and about 6-8 guys with torches waving the cars down. It looked and felt like a proper roadblock. ![]() There is that section right after the bridge where you have to change from the right two lanes to the left two lanes via the gap in the lane divider.Ībout 10 meters after you change into the left two lanes we ran into the road block. When coming from Entebbe on the expressway, right after you pass the half-completed toll booth there is a bridge over the swamp, the road block was just after the bridge when heading to Kampala from Entebbe. Last night, Saturday 10th February, at approximately 11:20pm we were attacked by thugs on the Entebbe Expresssway at a “road block” setup by guys in army uniform holding AK47s. The roadblock comes hardly a month after gunmen attacked guests outside Serena Hotel, Kigo.īelow is the victim’s (identity withheld on request) horrifying story: Observers have previously urged Uganda National Roads Authority (UNRA) to find means of lighting up the toll road. ![]() ![]() On the Seagate Secure screen, click Unlock.

If the clay becomes waterlogged it can expand and push the foundations upwards causing the cracks. On older properties with shallow foundations the clay can expand and contract dependent upon the weather conditions. The most common cause of ground heave is expansion of clay subsoils. ![]() The pattern of crack is similar to subsidence crack, however, the crack will be widest at the base of the wall. However, specialist advice from a structural engineer will be required. This will normally involve some form of underpinning. The cracks are normally the first indication of a problem often they are raking cracks (widest at the top) and can occur to corners of the building or from the top to the bottom of the walls. The list is endless however, the basic problem is the same the foundations of the house are moving. Subsidence can occur due to a variety of reasons: This is the worst and most serious type of cracks in masonry walls and consequently the most difficult to repair. Repointing and removal of the existing ties is recommended.Ĥ. Without replacement, collapse of the wall could occur. The cracking is an early indication of failure. When the metal ties rust they expand causing the cracking normally seen every sixth course horizontally in the mortar joints. Failure normally occurs when the ties rust. Wall ties are metal ties that are built into both solid and cavity walls built in stretcher bond to hold the outside skin of brickwork to the inside. Cracks in Masonry Wall due to Tie Failure New lintels need to be installed and the cracks repaired.ģ. In some properties no lintels are provided relying on the timber frame of the window to support the masonry above, but once the window is replaced the cracks occur. The severity and age of these cracks would decide whether simple repointing would suffice until the window is replaced.Ĭause-4: Cracks in Masonry Wall due to No Lintels Once again replacement of the lintel is recommended. The load imposed is too great for the lintel to cope with and the downward pressure causes the cracking. ![]() This often occurs above first floor lintels where the roof purlins have been installed directly above the window openings. However, once again repointing will suffice until the window or door is replaced.Ĭause-3:Cracks due to loads applied above the opening Replacement of the lintel is recommended. Repair of Cracks due to Inadequate Bearing If the bearings are insufficient the lintel will drop and the cracks will appear. The correct overhang (bearing) of the lintels above openings is 150mm (6 inches) each side. However, collapse of the brickwork above the opening will be likely when the window is next replaced.Ĭause-2: Cracks due to Inadequate Bearings The poor repair is to do nothing more than repoint the cracks, as the brickwork is now resting on the new frame. The best repair is to reset the lintel and repoint or rebuild the brickwork above, and refit the window. The most common reason for this type of cracks in wall is the removal of existing window frames to install PVCu. Loads applied directly over the opening,Ĭause-1: Removal of windows or doors with inadequate propping.Removal of windows or doors with inadequate propping,.Cracks Above Openings in Masonry Walls Causesįour causes of cracks above openings in masonry walls are: On some modern buildings these are formed at construction stage and then hidden behind rainwater downpipes.Ģ. This would be cut into the wall, filled with a compressible material with a waterproof stopper to the outside. However, for more severe cracking it is advisable to form an expansion joint. Therefore filling the crack with a mastic or sealastic compound is recommended. This type of crack has a consistent width and it is this that distinguishes from other more serious cracks.Įxpansive crack is of no real structural significance, although it may allow water into the cavity in brick built houses, and subsequence cause deterioration of the wall ties. The expansive cracks are often seen above window and door openings where the opening itself relieves the crack. ![]() ![]() ![]() There is also the option to use enhanced rendering which helps with complex models.
