Planned Changes To Roath Life Business Directory & Local Community Hub – 1st March 2023.
From the 1st of March 2023, our independent local directory for Roath Cardiff will be migrated to this site. You will still be able to access all the information as before but instead, you will be able to view the content on our pages. The domain names www.roathlife.co.uk and www.roathlife.com will forward to this site.
Our business directory will be split into local, national, and international, with the option for businesses to advertise.
We are currently working in the background on migrating the local business directory to this site. You won’t see any changes until we launch date.
In the meantime the directory is still live and up and running, so feel free to browse.
It was not available last year as I am always looking for ways to generate more traffic, so I was surprised to see it on the IONOS marketplace and had to grab it.
SEO Link Wheel.
I am happy I have the dot com as I will have no use for any other domain extension, just in case anyone approached me regarding the .co.uk just saying… Furthermore, if someone then decides to develop the co.uk version there may be a reason to start a UDRP.
Website Development.
It is what came first the chicken or the egg scenario. I developed a website on a dot com (king of domains) long before any other counterpart.
Branding.
This domain will serve as another cog to my ever-expanding SEO link wheel. This domain is a keeper as it has played on my mind whenever I say ‘Cymru’ not everyone I speak to knows what the word means. It is the Welsh Word for Wales and as well as people not knowing how to pronounce it let alone spell it, may also find difficulty remembering it. Hence that is why I am excited to add an addition to my lead generation marketing strategies.
Obviously, the site is not fully developed as I only acquired it today but over the next few weeks, time permitting, I will build this site to accompany my default sites.
I have also kept my ‘Cymru Marketing’ Logo Initials where the (CM) stands for Cymru Marketing, whereas now the initials are reversed to Marketing Cardiff (MC). However had I re-designed the initials the M letter does not sit right on the letter C, hence I have left the lettering the same. As long as I get the traffic what’s a couple of letters in a logo. If anything it makes the logo even more unique and talked about after all ‘Cymru Marketing’ is here to stay and it will always be one of my default websites, with ‘Marketing Cardiff’ as an add-on.
The way I see it the logo is recognizable it has been around for a few years and people who recognize and relate to an image can memorize images symbols and logos far quicker than remembering words. People will see the logo and see it as a trustworthy source, so why confuse people with more than one logo, at the end of the day it is a personal preference and my decision. If anything the logo says that ‘Cymru Marketing Brand ‘ is behind ‘Marketing Cardiff’.
One has to remember that exact match searchable keywords and phrases domain names will rank your website far quicker and will secure global positioning providing you do your SEO correctly.
Having brandable made-up words, acronyms or personal brand names needs extensive Advertising and PR, whilst having searchable words people actively search for will save you money in the long run. Choose your domain names carefully and if you need some help with your SEO link wheel we will be happy to give you some free advice and do a free SEO audit report of your website.
As an example I have my own personal brand domain name www.renataentrepreneur.com but if people do not know who you are and have never heard of you before they are not going to be searching for you. Fortunately for me, I have been around for donkeys’ years so I am well known in certain circles.
Even if you are ranked for keywords that you have assigned in your meta description people are less likely to view your site as opposed to the and exact match searchable keyword or phrase domain name. You would have to be well known or a household name which can take a long time to achieve before people started to search for you.
Valuation.
The domain name www.marketingcardiff.com on estibot.com is according to the bot worth less than $100 but on Godaddy Appraisal Tool it is worth $904
To be honest, I rarely use these bots and whenever I am appraising a domain name. I do my calculations based on Google Keyword Planner and how many searches per month and the cost of the PPC bids would be. I then can advise that having a certain domain name would save the investor in advertising costs.
However, if the domain name has equity such as a product, service, website, and assets then you are talking about a different ball game, and even though I have no intention to sell this domain name my equity which these bots do not know about will increase the value.
**Article was written and published on the 4th of March 2021 at 4.16 pm GMT.
Today and it was my fault for latching on to a post on Facebook about an appeal by South Wales Police about laser pointers, and I received some backlash for merely trying to clear up some confusion in my mind.
My mistake was I commented on someone’s shared post and got hate for it. It was no different from what I have said below although I have further elaborated on my statement.
The link is also here:Facebook SWPC Article.Obviously, the people or persons that pointed the laser should be punished under the terrorism act.
The reason why I latched on was that I could not believe that a simple pocket laser could cause harm or injure a pilot airborne or crew member when the culprit was on the ground, according to the original post an on-board critical care practitioner suffered blurred vision, and migraine, and had to go off-duty (This implies the injury was serious). Obviously, I was naive about laser pointers and have since learned a thing or two.
The incident happened on Sunday 28th February 2021 at 9.30 pm over Heath Roath Park and Roath Recreation Ground in Cardiff UK. The laser was directed at a Wales Air Ambulance causing injuries to a crew member.
This is what a laser pointer looks like from the groundaccording to the blogger of this paper link below:
I obviously did some research and fact-checking and all I got was negative people trolling me, with one stating that my shared links were belittling the crime and that what I was sharing weretheoretical papers, even going as far as insinuating I had some ulterior motive to make the comment. (I do not take kindly to accusations), the said person (mentioning no names) even demanded I explain myself.
Also, it was unclear how come the pilot was not mentioned. unless the person was a paramedic and pilot.
When writing articles one should be clear about the content so as to not confuse the reader. One should not write one line and hope the reader will second guess the rest.
The only reason for the Facebook Comment if I am brutally honest was to establish facts and clear up any confusion, first of all, there was no mention of how far the helicopter was off the ground at the time of the incident?… so my question was how did the laser pointer affect a paramedics vision? Was the helicopter landing or taking off or in mid-air?
Good Journalism should not cause confusion.
A laser pointer can be a distraction for helicopter pilots that wear night vision goggles or airplanes that want to land, the same applies to military aircraft at night.
MOST IMPORTANTLY!
The most important part wasI was not condoning this in any way and all perpetrators should be punished to fit the crime. I was merely pointing out that there would be no adverse physical effects from this according to theFact Checking‘ I had made from two verified sources the BJO & BBC, links below:
I can see how serious pointing a laser at an aircraft can be to the aviation authority and it can be deemed as an act of terrorismand I certainly do not condone it.
Laser pointers can be distracting to pilots!
It seems to be a craze or fad for idiots to laser aircraft. Perhaps the powers that be should educate people in the masses about STUPIDITY with social awareness and media amplification that pointing lasers at aircraft is wrong on all levels, regardless if it affects a pilot or not. I can see that laser pointers can be distracting and potentially dangerous. https://www.laserpointersafety.com/laser-hazards_aircraft/laser-hazards_aircraft.html
I personally think that laser pointers should be banned from the public and only used and sold to businesses and higher education institutes. I also believe fireworks should also be banned from sale to the public or the public need a license. Fireworks should only be sold to organizations for public events or to people with fireworks licenses.
I am still open-minded about the distance a laser pointer would have had to be to cause any adverse effect to the paramedic, considering in the BJO a laser does not cause headaches, but temporary blindness similar to a flash on a camera going off.
I have since removed myself from the group. I do not know how Facebook groups work but I do not wish to be associated with narrow-minded people.
(Addendum) apparently, if you remove yourself from the group it still does not remove you from the thread, lesson learned, hence I had someone like my comment a few minutes ago.
My daughter gave me some solid advice: “if you do not want to be trolled do not leave comments as people do not like the truth”.
“I never once said that I was defending or condoning the culprits, I on the contrary was fact-checking”.
All I was doing was getting my head around the fact when one verified fact-checked source said one thing and I read something else from anothersource that is confusing and that is when I started to question the credibility of the information.
From what I can gather according to my verified source below, it is virtually impossible to have adverse physical effects from a laser on the ground whilst a pilot is airborne. If anything it can be a distraction when pilots wear nighttime goggles or are landing and may experience flash blindness.
However pointing a laser at an aircraft is an obstruction and should carry the punishment of an act of terrorism (and if it isn’t, it should be).
According to the Civil Aviation Authority in 2016, there were 1,258 incidents of lasers being pointed at aircraft. In the future, those who deliberately target aircraft with lasers could face a jail sentence or hefty fine. Currently, shining lasers at planes has a penalty of up to £2,500.
Pointing a laser pointer at an aircraft is illegal (so don’t do it regardless of what pointer is being used).
Obviously, I reiterate again, pointing a laser at a moving vehicle such as a plane, helicopter, car motorbike, boat, yacht, etc can be deemed as an act of terrorism, it does not matter why a perpetrator has engaged in such an act but more so that they executed their action and this is punishable by law.
For pilots to be affected and injured because of this act, the laser would have to directly be pointed at their eyes, or for they to experience a flash-blind effect.
According to The British Journal of Ophthalmology (BJO)
While many claims have been made for ocular and other injuries, as a result of exposure to laser pointers, none has been sustained. Most victims are unaware of the clinical symptoms that would be appropriate to retinal injury; thus many individuals claim to have seen a bright light followed by pain or irritation in the irradiated eye. Some also complain of redness of the eye and headaches. In reality, there are no pain receptors in the retina and, therefore, threshold laser strike in the visible region of the spectrum is not associated with pain.
I personally think all journalists and media should use the phrase:
“Anyone caught using a laser pointer publicallyfor illegal purposes will be arrested and punished under the terrorism act”, which adds MORE CLOUT than a minimum sentence of 5 years, going as far as spreadingawareness in bold campaigns that show how dangerous laser pointers can be.
“Good Journalism Does Not Cause Confusion”.
It does not take much effort to log details of who the device was sold to, making verification ID mandatory in the UK. However, to stop people from buying them from abroad is another matter and there would have to be an import ban from other countries to the consumer and only legitimate organizations that were licensed would have access.
BJO states and I quote “that in conclusion, laser pointers, pens, or key rings if used appropriately are not an eye hazard, and even if used inappropriately will not cause permanent eye damage”.
FINAL THOUGHTS.
“It is sad that in this day and age with an array of social media platforms, we are censored for the things we write. I am all for censorship if it promotes hate crime or worse. But when it comes to merely expressing an opinion or asking a question we should not be scrutinized. There is little room for freedom of speech anymore and we cannot ask questions as people will question our motives and get defensive. I believe if people have questions they should be able to express them without the fear of someone trolling themand without the fear of being censored or punished”.
Pointing any laser device to a moving vehicle eg: (planes, trains, cars, motor bikes, boats) or directly at someone to purposely maim including eyes and body, for the purpose to cause destruction and accidents, the perpetrators should be punished to fit the crime.
According to this article distances of up to 1200 feet can engulf a cockpit. It remains a distraction hazard all the way up to 12,000 feet.
The point is:
The maximum altitude that a helicopter can be reached during forward flight typically depends more on the ability of the engine. Helicopters can reach around 25,000 feet. But the maximum height at which a helicopter can hover is much lower – a high-performance helicopter like the Agusta A109E can hover at 10,400 feet. However, if the helicopter remains in ‘ground effect’ – ie, if it is hovering close to high ground – its maximum hover altitude will be higher. The Agusta can hover in ground effect – ‘HIGE’ in helicopter jargon – at 13,800 feet. This is useful for mountain rescue missions.
I would also like to add I am a law-abiding citizen and if I was to catch anyone pointing lasers for illegal purposes, other than for the purpose of business, education, or pet entertainment, I would report them to the authorities without question.
