The JP system works on the principle of moving aggregate with large volumes of low pressure air and moving emulsion with higher pressure air. When these two low cost materials are combined a strong flexible and durable repair is produced.
The three step process is completed in one smooth operation.
The JP process:
STEP ONE
A: High powered jet air from nozzle blows out dirt, dust, debris and even water from the interior and surrounding edges of the pothole.
B: High powered jet air cleans out cracks and fissures.
STEP TWO
A: Valve controlling the flow of liquid emulsion
from pressurized tank.
B: Liquid emulsion being sprayed into the pothole.
C: Inner area of the pothole sprayed including all
openings and fissures.
D: Perimeter of pothole is sprayed to seal edges.
E: Broken areas around edges are filled.
STEP THREE
A: Remote control switch activates conveyor to put aggregate into the air stream.
B: Liquid emulsion valve
C: Aggregate and liquid emulsion are mixed in the nozzle and are sprayed under pressure into the pothole.
D: Aggregate and emulsion are compacted from the bottom of the pothole up, denser than rolled asphalt.

Source text - English What is Pertussis (whooping cough)
Whooping cough is a serious respiratory infection that causes a long coughing illness. In babies, it can lead to pneumonia and brain damage.
Whooping cough can be life-threatening for babies. Newborns are not immune and nd once infected, they are often very severe.
Older children and adults can get whooping cough and can spread it to others, including babies.
Antibiotics can prevent whooping cough spreading if given early but the cough often continues after treatment.
What are the symptoms?
• Whooping cough starts like a cold with a blocked or runny nose, sneezing, a mild fever and an occasional cough.
• As cough gets worse, severe bouts of uncontrollable coughing develop. Coughing bouts can be followed by vomiting, choking or taking a big gasping breath which causes a “whooping” sound. The cough can last for many weeks and can be worse at night.
• Some newborns don’t cough at all but stop breathing and turn blue.
• Older children and adults may just have a mild cough that doesn’t go away.
How is whooping cough spread?
• A person with whooping cough can spread it to others in the first 3 weeks of illness. Germs coughed into the air can be inhaled by babies, children or adults nearby. These people are then in danger of getting whooping cough.
Protect your baby
• Newborns are not immune until they have had their whooping cough vaccines. To protect them until they are immune, keep people with a cough away from your baby.
• The vaccine for babies is given at 2, 4 and 6 months. The first dose can be given as early as 6 weeks. Immunize your baby on time so they can be protected as soon as possible. If your baby’s vaccines are missed out, speak to your GP about catching up.
• Whooping cough vaccine is effective but doesn’t protect all babies. You still need to watch out, even if your baby had been immunized.
Older children
• By immunizing older children with boosters at 4 years old and in high school, you give them some protection against whooping cough. This also helps to reduce spread to others.
• Check if your child has been vaccinated. Speak to your immunization provider or GP or ring the Australian Childhood Immunization Register on 1800 653 809.
• Remember that even with immunization, children can sometimes still catch whooping cough.
Adults
• Adults can get whooping cough and can spread the infection to babies. They may just have mild symptoms and may not realize that their cough could cause harm.
• If you’re a new parent, you can top-up your immunity by getting a whooping cough booster. Boosters are also recommended for grandparents, couples planning a pregnancy, and for child care workers and health care workers.
• Whooping cough vaccines can be accessed from your GP, Aboriginal Medical Service, community health centre or council clinic.
How can I prevent the spread of whooping cough?
• Whooping cough is highly infectious in the first 3 weeks. It spreads easily through families, childcare centres and schools, so it’s important to act fast.
• Anyone with symptoms should see a doctor as soon as possible. Your GP can test for whooping cough. Early diagnosis is especially important for new parents and people who have regular contact with babies.
• If whooping cough is detected early enough, your doctor may prescribe a course of antibiotics. After 5 days of treatment, enough bacteria are killed to stop spread to others.
• In some situations, other people who have been in contact with an infectious person may also need antibiotics to help prevent the infection, especially if they are babies or if they have close contact with babies.
• People diagnosed with whooping cough should stay away from work, school or childcare until no longer infectious. Ask your doctor when it’s safe to return.
