Description:
April 1 2024 marks 50 years since the formation of Greater Manchester.<br/><br/>Exactly fifty years ago this week, a major shake-up of local government changed the perception of the county of Lancashire for all generations born since.<br/><br/>Greater Manchester was created as a result of the Local Government Act 1972 and is formed of parts of the historic counties of Lancashire, Cheshire and the West Riding of Yorkshire.<br/><br/>The county has an area of almost 500 square miles and is highly urbanised, with a population of 2.8 million living within the ten metropolitan boroughs.<br/><br/>The creation of the Greater Manchester Combined Authority was approved on March 29 2010 and there has been a directly elected Greater Manchester Mayor since 2017 with powers over transport, planning and policing.<br/><br/>Although the last 50 years have brought significant growth to the city-region, some residents still firmly see themselves as Lancastrian. What about you?

The quake, striking in the morning around 10:23 am (local time), caused buildings to shake, instigating panic among residents. This occurrence was particularly alarming as New York City is not typically considered an earthquake-prone area. Coincidentally, the earthquake coincided with a speech by Janti Soeripto, President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Save the Children US, addressing the United Nations Security Council (UNSC). <br/> <br/>#NewYorkCity #Earthquake #StatueOfLiberty #NewJersey #RattledNYC #EastCoastQuake #NYCEarthquake #NaturalDisaster #EmergencyResponse #USGS <br/> <br/><br/>~HT.97~PR.152~ED.194~")

Instead, there's been a flurry of dodgy workmanship and construction firms going under leaving customers nervous about taking the plunge on building a new home. February figures show building approvals fell again as those fears further aggravate the housing shortage.")

_worlds-first-jet-powered-amish-buggy.webp "AN AMISH BUGGY that would normally be drawn by horses has been fitted with a turbo jet engine. “It’s like oil and water, they should not go together,” jokes its creator Chad Clark. The outrageous project, built by Chad Clark and Mike Monter of Millersburg, Ohio was originally meant to be something very different. “Mike and I were at our local county fair, I mentioned it would be really cool to build a turbine-powered four-wheel drive pulling truck,” Chad explained. But the auction description had misrepresented the engine as a turbo shaft engine. “I went home that night, found an engine online and bought it but didn’t realise it was not turboshaft, it was turbojet only,” Chad remembers. They ended up having to use a much lighter vehicle instead of the original truck. “We live in the Amish capital of the world so we figured an Amish buggy would be perfect,” Chad said. Co-creator Mike Monter told Future Studios Cars: “He called me up, said we’re not doing a pulling truck anymore, we’re doing an Amish buggy – seemed natural.” The build and modifications cost around $30,000 and took roughly 700 hours of labour to complete: “Many all-nighters,” Chad said. When out in public, people struggle to believe the bizarre creation actually works. “When people see the Thunder Buggy they can’t believe their eyes and the first question is, does it really move? Yes it does,” explained Chad. Traditionally, these buggies would have been moved by horses so this particular one is far from conventional. “The buggy is not designed to take 100 feet of electrical wiring, fuel tanks and a jet engine,” Chad admitted. With a top speed of 65 miles per hour before the wheels start shaking, this exhibition-only vehicle was not built for speed: “It’s a really simple engine design, it’s some pretty awesome engineering from back in the 40s,” explained Chad.")
