Man who stalked radio DJ avoids prison
A stalker from Surrey who left a radio DJ feeling "unsafe and paranoid" by repeatedly sending her letters, emails and gifts has been spared prison. Keaton Adams, from Englefield Green, even went to the Heart radio studio in Leicester Square, London, in January this year asking to see presenter Katrina Ridley. Westminster Magistrates' Court heard on Tuesday that Adams, 51, persistently tried to contact Ms Ridley between 1 November and 20 February, claiming he was in a relationship with her. He pleaded guilty to one count of stalking involving serious alarm or distress and was given a 16-week prison sentence, suspended for 18 months. In December, 60 messages, some of which were "delusional in nature", were sent in just three hours, prosecutors said. One message sent to the radio station read: "I'm going to say goodnight now baby girl…I love you always." Adams also contacted Ms Ridley on her personal email, wrote about her having "spyware" at his home and said they were going to get married in Australia. In December 2024, he sent coffee mugs to the studio with "I will always love you" printed on them. Ms Ridley said in her victim impact statement that the stalking had "a huge impact" on her life, leaving her feeling "unsafe and paranoid" and unable to use public transport. A restraining order has been put in place, banning Adams from contacting Ms Ridley or her colleagues and from visiting Leicester Square. Follow BBC Surrey on Facebook, on X.

5 Local Side Hustles You Never Considered (And Can Start Today)
Looking for some extra cash? The bad news is you will have to work for it. The good news is that you can find some untraditional ways to generate some additional income in your neighborhood, city or local community, as well as start them right away. Learn More: Find Out: Here are five local side hustles you never considered and can start today. According to Patrice Williams-Lindo, the CEO of Career Nomad, one of the best under-the-radar gigs for professionals with flexible time is mobile notary services. This is a job that requires person-to-person interaction and the ability to travel, but also isn't going away any time soon. 'After a quick certification, you can earn $15-$75 per notarization–higher if you specialize in real estate closings,' explained Williams-Londo, adding that a bonus perk is that the mobile notary business scales with your network. Business coach and founder of Unpause Your Dreams, Charlene Ridley, described how any owner operated or single operator businesses without the skills or time to create meaningful content can hire someone to generate it for them. 'Side hustlers can offer content creation services and provide short form video to increase market visibility, create interest, and help develop/manage the businesses online brand,' noted Ridley. Ridley pointed out that there is huge potential to scale up and tailor this side hustle by starting around 2-3 hours per week and going up to 5-8 hours each month depending on the client, with the low end of earnings starting around $80 per hour and going up to a range of $400-640 depending on the clients' hourly billing budget. Everyone has pictures and most people do not know where they are or how to find them. This could be tangible photographs in a box or digital ones shaved on a hard drive. Either way, YouTuber Tim Richard highlighted that it's one of the best side gigs to do in your area. One example Richard pointed to was a woman who started organizing her own photos, then friends and neighbors, until word of mouth had her charging between $200 to $1,500 per project. The time commitment is very low at 10-20 hours a week, with no high pressure turnaround to complete a job. Between working full time, taking care of kids, and having a social life, people tend to forget they need to manage the place where they live: home. That's where a house manager can come to their rescue and make some extra income on the side. 'House managers have an opportunity not to serve as task masters (that's what task rabbit is for) but instead as trusted partners that keep the household running,' Ridley commented. Ridley outlined that the range of services offered could include: home maintenance, calendar management, meal planning, grocery ordering, and anything else the home requires to function. House managers can start charging around $35 an hour and book about 2 hours a week. Depending on the arrangement, those numbers could increase to 16-20 hours per month and bring in $560-700 per client. Do you enjoy cooking and serving up delicious food, yet have no desire to be in a professional kitchen or deal with the stress of running your own restaurant? Try preparing specific meals for others right from your own home. 'Whether it's vegan soul food in Atlanta or paleo fusion in Portland, there's high demand for home-cooked meals aligned to lifestyle,' described Williams-Lindo. 'Licensed cottage cooks can charge $12-$20 per meal and serve 20-30 clients weekly with local pickup or delivery.'
