State v. HouchinAnnotate this Case
428 P.2d 971 (1967)
STATE of Montana, Plaintiff and Appellant, v. James Robert HOUCHIN, Jr., Defendant and Respondent.
Supreme Court of Montana.
Submitted May 8, 1967.
Decided June 15, 1967.
Forrest H. Anderson, Atty. Gen., Helena, Marshall Candee, County Atty., Libby, Charles M. Joslyn, Asst. Atty. Gen. (argued), Helena, for appellant.
Murphy, Robinson, Heckathorn & Phillips, Kalispell, C. Eugene Phillips (argued), Kalispell, for respondent.
JOHN C. HARRISON, Justice.
This is an appeal by the State from an order granting a new trial after a jury had found the respondent guilty of petit larceny and two prior convictions.
This is a companion case to State v. Armstrong, 149 Mont. 470, 428 P.2d 611, decided by this court on June 2, 1967. In the Armstrong case, supra, a rather lengthy statement of facts was set forth and is referred to in considering this case. Only those additional facts as are particular to this case will be set forth.
*972 The trial of the respondent was held approximately one week after his companion Armstrong had been convicted, after a jury trial, of petit larceny with two prior convictions and sentenced to two years in the State Penitentiary. At this trial a button that was found at the scene of the telephone line cutting was introduced without objection. It matched a button on the coat the respondent was wearing at the time of his arrest. Three buttons were missing on the coat but one remained which was used for comparison with the above-mentioned button. As at the trial of Armstrong, the State offered into evidence the horseshoe nippers found in the pickup respondent was driving, but unlike the Armstrong case the trial judge refused the admission into evidence of such nippers. A deputy sheriff testified here that after the Armstrong trial he had talked with a Mr. Elletson, who owned and had loaned the pickup to the respondent, and that he had been informed by Mr. Elletson that all the tools recovered from the vehicle, including the horseshoe nippers, were not his property.
Further, at this trial the State offered to prove that Martha Houchin, respondent's wife, had guided two deputies to the location of 4,100 feet of missing telephone wire to which the respondent objected on the ground that her testimony was privileged, that it was not within any of the exclusions or exceptions of the hearsay rule and that no proper foundation had been laid. The trial court sustained the objection to the entrance of the recovered 4,100 feet of wire, but did not specifically state his reason. At the conclusion of the State's case, the respondent moved (1) that the court instruct the jury to return a verdict of not guilty on the grounds and for the reasons that there had been an utter failure of proof on the part of the State; (2) that as an alternative, to advise the jury to return a verdict of not guilty on the grounds that the state of proof is such that if the jury returned a verdict of guilty the verdict would have to be set aside; and (3) that as an alternative to the foregoing, to remove from the case the element of grand larceny on the ground that there was a total failure of proof as to the value of the property in Lincoln County, Montana, the place where the same was stolen. The court denied all three motions. The jury found respondent guilty of petit larceny.
Respondent filed a motion for a new trial which resulted in a full scale hearing.
It is noteworthy that little evidence was produced supporting the motion for a new trial. However, the trial judge in reconsidering several rulings he had made during the course of the trial granted a new trial for the following reasons: (1) That the court misdirected the jury in a matter of law and has erred in a decision of a question of law arising during the course of the trial; and (2) that the verdict is contrary to the law and the evidence.
The appellant (the State) set forth three specifications of error for our consideration contending that the court erred in:
(1) granting respondent's motion for a new trial;
(2) not allowing the testimony of Deputy Sheriff Fisher that he was guided to the location of the wire by respondent's wife; and
(3) not allowing State's exhibit 7, the horseshoe nippers, to be admitted into evidence.
Specifications of error 2 and 3 will be first considered for it was in the exclusion of the evidence set forth in these specifications that the trial court created the situation wherein the appellant's case was short on proof.
We agree with the appellant that the trial court committed error in not allowing into evidence the testimony of the deputy sheriff that he was guided to the location of the wire by the respondent's wife.
The offer of proof by the appellant was to the effect that Martha Houchin accompanied the deputy and pointed out the location of the wire. The offer was limited solely to the fact and that it would not include testimony of any extra-judicial statements of the wife.
*973 Our statute section 94-8802, R.C.M. 1947, provides:
"Except with the consent of both, or in cases of criminal violence upon one by the other, or in case of abandonment, or neglect of children by either party, or of abandonment or neglect of the wife by the husband, neither husband nor wife is a competent witness for or against the other in a criminal action or proceeding to which one or both are parties."
Applying the fact situation here, and strictly construing the statute, it is apparent that this statute is not applicable to the defense for here the wife was not called as a witness. The trial court's rule on the exclusion went to testimony of the deputy sheriff who would have testified that the wife of the respondent accompanied him to the area where the wire was recovered, and such testimony should have been allowed. Respondent also objected to the offer of proof on the grounds that it was hearsay testimony. We find no merit to this contention for the reasons above set forth that here the wife did not testify. The privilege accorded to husbands and wives in this state extends to communications only, that is utterances and not acts. See 10 A.L.R.2d 1395.
To the appellant's third specification of error, that the court erred in not allowing the horseshoe nippers into evidence, we find merit.
Here the respondent rests his position on the exclusion of the evidence squarely on Preston v. United States, 376 U.S. 364, 84 S. Ct. 881, 11 L. Ed. 2d 777 (1964), acknowledging that Preston under the specific language contained therein, might dictate a reversal in this case, the United States Supreme Court in Cooper v. State of California, 386 U.S. 58, 87 S. Ct. 788, 17 L. Ed. 2d 730 (Feb. 20, 1967), has now elaborated on the meaning of that decision. If Cooper does not overrule Preston subsilentio, as contended by the dissent in Cooper, it does very clearly ingraft on the Preston rule an extension of the traditional concepts under which the search of automobiles may be conducted without a warrant.
Insofar as the Federal Constitutional principles apply, an automobile may be searched by the police at a time and place remote from the arrest, providing the police have valid custody of the automobile at the time, and providing the arrest is valid, and providing the search is made for the fruits of the crime or evidence relating to the crime for which the accused was validly arrested. See also recent United States Supreme Court case, Warden, Maryland Penitentiary v. Hayden, 387 U.S. ___, 87 S. Ct. 1642, 18 L.Ed.2d ___ (May 29, 1967).
Here the sheriff had valid possession of the pickup, used by respondent who was legally arrested, and the search of the pickup specifically related to the crime for which he was arrested. We do not find that our Constitution requires a more restrictive rule with respect to automobiles than that applied under Federal Constitutional standards as set forth by the United States Supreme Court. We therefore find the search to have been a reasonable one in this case.
Turning to the first specification of error the district court was in error in granting a new trial for the reasons expressed in the court's memorandum, but in view of the errors occurring upon the trial which we have discussed, a new trial must be had.
Cause is remanded to the district court for a new trial.
JAMES T. HARRISON C.J., and ADAIR and DOYLE, JJ., concur.
CASTLES, Justice, (specially concurring):
I concur in the result. The District Court's discretion in granting of a new trial will not be interfered with unless a manifest abuse of discretion appears; or put another way that there is no basis for exercising any discretion. I believe that a complete discussion of the facts and evidence presented in this case, aside from the *974 Opinion's reference to the Armstrong case, would indicate to the reader that, in spite of the verdict of guilty, a new trial was in order because of the District Court's errors on the admission of evidence.

Teeth Whitening Dubai : Best teeth whitening dentists & clinics in Dubai UAE. List of teeth whitening clinics in Dubai with reviews, prices & cost. Not all teeth whitening treatments deliver the kind of results you’d expect. Before you undergo such treatment, take time to search for teeth whitening dentists would approve rather than the treatment that most of your friends have been raving about. What works for other people may not actually work for your type of dental problem. In fact, your dentist might not even recommend a tooth whitening procedure for you when you have too much sensitivity in your teeth and gums.
The most effective dental bleaching that patients can ever have are all done in clinics. The home whitening kits that cost much cheaper and more accessible to the consumers aren’t as effective because of the low-grade peroxide used and the common lack of discipline in applying the strips or gel on one’s teeth. Among the popular in-clinic procedures, the treatment using a peroxide-based whitening gel has the lowest price because it uses an ultraviolet lamp to speed up the bleaching process rather than laser light.
Of course, the dental-grade whitening gel has the same percentage of peroxide as the one used during a laser treatment. However, the bleaching process is milder on the enamel, which isn’t scorched from the UV rays or scratched by the acids created from the oxidation of peroxide. A layer of dental blocks protect the gums from exposure to the bleaching agent and the UV light. The chemical breakdown of the whitening gel produces only water and oxygen gas. The oxygen is absorbed into the enamel and the water simply flows harmlessly through the teeth. In the end, it’s the oxygen particles that act upon the stains and turn everything white.
In contrast, the laser teeth whitening treatments performed in clinics use non-acidic gels, which contain Rhodium B instead of hydrogen peroxide. This bleaching agent needs green laser rather than blue. Nevertheless, the non-acidity doesn’t make it less effective than the more acidic peroxides. In reality, the lack of acids is a blessed thing because the enamel doesn’t dry up and the bleaching agent absorbs deeper into the teeth. This rids of internal stains in teeth created from too much exposure to caffeine or nicotine.
In the end, your choice of teeth whitening dentists would approve depends on several factors: your particular dental problem, your budget on hand, and the availability of your preferred treatment at your chosen dental clinic. For example, dentists recommend a UV-activated treatment only for surface stains on enamel and teeth discolouration vaused by hardened plaque. Moreover, dentists know that their patients will find it difficult to stop smoking or drinking coffee immediately. And so, you’ll need to use home whitening kits recommended by your dental care specialist as hygienic maintenance.

Teeth Whitening Treatment in Dubai
What are the different types of teeth whitening available?
Most dental practices offer two types of whitening:
Laser / in-surgery Teeth Whitening
Professional home whitening kits
Both procedures are based on a bleaching process that uses a peroxide-based bleaching gel of varying strength (3%-30% peroxide). The higher the concentration of peroxide in the gel, the more powerful it is. While a higher concentration gel is more effective at whitening the teeth, it also has greater potential to cause side effects such as sensitivity and damage to the surrounding gum tissue and your lips.
Laser Tooth Whitening
Laser tooth whitening or in-surgery whitening is a procedure that takes place at the dental practice and uses a light-activated bleaching gel to whiten your teeth. The procedure usually takes approx 1 -2 hours and produces instant whitening results. Many dentists recommend that laser whitening should be followed up by professional home whitening.
The Laser Tooth Whitening procedure
Prior to carrying out the procedure you would have a consultation with your dentist to make sure that you are suitable for teeth whitening and to explain possible risks and side effects of the procedure. Most dental practices will ask you to sign a teeth whitening consent form to confirm that you have fully understood the procedure and all risks. Before the teeth whitening process is started a dentist or a hygienist will thoroughly clean the teeth, removing any surface stains and tartar. This procedure is commonly referred to as a scale and polish.
The next step will be for the dentist to make a record of the shade/colour of the teeth before the procedure. This is either recorded using a tooth coloured shade guide/chart or by taking a digital photograph of your teeth. The area is then prepared for the procedure. The bleaching compound usually contains a high concentration of peroxide (15-30%) and so the dentist will usually place some form of protection around the gums so that only the teeth are exposed to the compound. This involves covering the gums with rolls of cotton and a protective gel material that hardens once applied to the gums. A cheek retractor is used to keep the lips and cheeks away from the teeth. It is very important that your dentist isolates your gums and lips with a protective material in order to avoid any potential damage or burning.
Home whitening kits usually have a low concentration of peroxide so that there is less chance of any damage occurring. Recently, high-strength home whitening kits purchased online and from certain stores have attracted media attention with horror stories of people with badly burnt lips and gums. It’s for this reason that teeth whitening should always be carried out under the supervision of a dentist. Eye protection (goggles) is also provided to prevent any damage to the eyes from the laser used or any accidental splashes of the peroxide. Many cosmetic practices now offer “DVD glasses” so that the patient can watch a movie during their treatment! The whitening gel is then applied to the surface of the teeth and exposed to a light or laser, which activates it. Some systems do not use an activating laser and many dentists argue that the laser doesn’t make any difference to the end result.
During this process if you feel that your lips or gums start to burn then you should let your dentist know immediately. After approximately 15 minutes the gel is removed and the process repeated another 2 times. During the procedure some people may feel sensitivity in their teeth, which are described as short-lived shooting pains. The dentist will finally wash off the whitening gel and remove any gum protection before evaluating the final result by taking a photograph or using a shade chart. The results are usually quite dramatic and can often be up to 10 shades lighter.
A kit for home whitening may also be provided with custom trays and professional whitening gel. Many patients’ teeth are quite sensitive immediately following this procedure and it is advised to try and avoid hot or cold drinks for a while. Some dentists offer fluoride treatment following teeth whitening to reduce this effect on sensitivity. Your home whitening kit usually contains a solution to reduce tooth sensitivity. Sensitivity rarely lasts more than 48 hours, if symptoms persist for longer than this then contact your dentist.
Once your treatment is complete your dentist will remove the gel and a shade guide will then be used to measure how much whiter your teeth have become during the procedure. The results are instant and can often be up to 10 shades lighter. Professional home whitening kits provide more permanent results over a longer time scale, whereas laser tooth whitening offers immediate results. A combination of the two provides the perfect solution to both immediate and long-term whitening needs.
Professional home whitening kits
To make a professional home whitening kit, your dentist will take a impression (mould) of your teeth using a special dental putty. Your dentist’s technician will then use this to cast a model of your teeth from plaster and make your custom teeth whitening trays from this. Once these trays have been made (usually takes 5-10 days) you use them in combination with professional whitening gel (provided by your dentist) until you are happy with the results. Depending on the teeth whitening system, some trays need to be worn overnight while others for only 1-2 hours a day.
Suitability for whitening
Many people are not suitable for teeth whitening and a dentist will assess your suitability during a consultation. If you have gum disease or other dental health problems, you may not be suitable. The teeth whitening process does not change the colour of crowns, veneers or fillings so it is important to understand that you may need to change these to match the colour of your whitened teeth.
How much whiter will my teeth look?
This varies from individual to individual, and also depends on the type of whitening system used. Some people respond very well to teeth whitening and have dramatically whiter teeth as a result, whereas others may notice very little difference at all. People with heavily stained yellow teeth tend to have more dramatic results than those with slightly discoloured teeth.Your dentist will be able to advise you on the likely results following a consultation.
Does it hurt? What are the side effects of teeth whitening?
Some people experience no pain or sensitivity with their teeth. However, the majority of people will experience some kind of sensitivity either during and/or after the initial treatment. This is usually described by patients as sporadic, sharp shooting pains coming from their teeth. This should settle down after approximately 48 hours though. Your dentist may give you a special gel or mousse to apply to your teeth to help with the sensitivity. It is advisable to avoid hot or cold food and drinks within the first 48 hours of your whitening treatment.
Which teeth-whitening brand or system is the best?
There are many different brands of professional teeth-whitening systems, each claiming to provide the best results. The most popular systems are Zoom!®, as featured on Extreme Makeover, Opalescence® , BriteSmile® and the latest Enlighten system. Each system has its pros and cons, and your dentist will be able to advise you on which system would be best suited for your teeth.
Many teeth whitening systems are available, including whitening toothpastes, over-the-counter gels, rinses, strips, and trays, and whitening agents obtained from a dentist.
Teeth whitening is ideal for people who have healthy, unrestored teeth (no fillings) and gums. Individuals with yellow tones to their teeth respond best. But this cosmetic procedure is not recommended for everyone.
Find out if teeth whitening is right for you.
All toothpastes help remove surface stains because they contain mild abrasives. Some whitening toothpastes contain gentle polishing or chemical agents that provide additional stain removal effectiveness. Whitening toothpastes can help remove surface stains only and do not contain bleach; over-the-counter and professional whitening products contain carbamide peroxide or hydrogen peroxide that helps lighten the color deep in the tooth. Whitening toothpastes can lighten your tooth’s color by about one shade. In contrast, light-activated whitening conducted in your dentist’s office can make your teeth three to eight shades lighter.
Over-the-Counter Whitening Strips and Gels
Whitening gels are clear, peroxide-based gels applied with a small brush directly to the surface of your teeth. Instructions generally call for twice a day application for 14 days. Initial results are seen in a few days and final results are sustained for about four months.
Whitening strips are very thin, virtually invisible strips that are coated with a peroxide-based whitening gel. The strips are applied twice daily for 30 minutes for 14 days. Initial results are seen in a few days and final results are sustained for about four months.
Among the newest whitening products available are whitening rinses. Like most mouthwashes, they freshen breath and help reduce dental plaque and gum disease. But these products also include ingredients, such as hydrogen peroxide, which whiten teeth. Manufacturers say it may take 12 weeks to see results. You just swish them around in your mouth for 60 seconds twice a day before brushing your teeth. However, some experts say that rinses may not be as effective as other over-the-counter whitening products. Because a whitening rinse is only in contact with the teeth for such a short time — just two minutes a day compared to 30 minutes for many strips — it may have less of an effect.
Tray-Based Tooth Whiteners
Tray-based tooth whitening systems, purchased either over-the-counter or from your dentist, involve filling a mouth guard-like tray with a gel whitening solution — which contains a peroxide-bleaching agent — and wearing the tray for a period of time, generally from a couple hours a day to every day during the night for up to four weeks and even longer (depending on the degree of discoloration and desired level of whitening).
In-office bleaching provides the quickest way to whiten teeth. With in-office bleaching, the whitening product is applied directly to the teeth. These products can be used in combination with heat, a special light, and/or a laser. Results are seen in only one, 30- to 60-minute treatment. But to achieve dramatic results, several appointments are usually needed. However, with in-office bleaching, dramatic results can be seen after the first treatment. This type of whitening is the most expensive technique.
How Long Do Teeth Whitening Effects Last?
Teeth whitening is not permanent. People who expose their teeth to foods and beverages that cause staining may see the whiteness start to fade in as little as one month. Those who avoid foods and beverages that stain may be able to wait one year or longer before another whitening treatment or touch-up is needed.
The degree of whiteness will vary from individual to individual depending on the condition of the teeth, nature of the stain, the type of bleaching system used, and for how long.
At-Home Teeth Whitening vs. Dentist-Supervised Teeth Whitening
There are differences between whitening your teeth at home and having them bleached in a dentist’s office, including:
Strength of bleaching agent. Over-the-counter products and dentist-supervised at-home products usually contain a lower strength-bleaching agent from 10% carbamide peroxide, which is equivalent to about 3% hydrogen peroxide, up to 22% carbamide peroxide. In-office, professionally applied tooth whitening products contain hydrogen peroxide in concentrations ranging from 15% to 43%.
Mouthpiece trays. With dentist-supervised at-home bleaching products, your dentist will take an impression of your teeth and make a mouthpiece tray that is customized to exactly fit your teeth. This customization allows for maximum contact between the whitening gel, which is applied to the mouthpiece tray, and the teeth. A custom-made tray also minimizes the gel’s contact with gum tissue. Over-the-counter whitening products also contain a mouthpiece tray, but the “one-size-fits-all” approach means that the fit will not be exact. Ill-fitting trays can irritate the gum and soft tissue by allowing more bleaching gel to seep onto these tissues. With in-office procedures, the bleaching agent is applied directly to the teeth.
Additional protective measures. In the office setting, your dentist will apply either a gel to the gum tissue or use a rubber shield (which slides over the teeth) prior to treatment to protect your gums and oral cavity from the effects of the bleaching. Over-the-counter products don’t provide these extra protective measures.
Costs. Over-the-counter bleaching systems are the least expensive option, with in-office whitening being the costliest.
Supervised vs. unsupervised process. Dentist-supervised at-home bleaching and in-office treatments offer additional benefits compared with over-the-counter procedures. First, your dentist can perform an oral exam and consider your complete medical history, which can be helpful in determining how your teeth became discolored and if bleaching is an appropriate course of treatment based on your type and extent of stains and type, number and location of restorations.
Your dentist can then better match the type of stain with the best treatment, if appropriate, to lighten those stains. With dentist-supervised bleaching procedures, your dentist will likely want to see you a couple of times to ensure you are following directions, to make sure the customized tray is fitting properly, to inspect your gums for signs of irritation, and to generally check on how the teeth whitening process is proceeding. With over-the-counter bleaching products, you are on your own.
Who Should Not Undergo Teeth Whitening?
Whitening is not recommended or will be less successful in the following circumstances:
Age and pregnancy issues. Bleaching is not recommended in children under the age of 16. This is because the pulp chamber, or nerve of the tooth, is enlarged until this age. Teeth whitening under this condition could irritate the pulp or cause it to become sensitive. Teeth whitening is also not recommended in pregnant or lactating women.
Sensitive teeth and allergies. Individuals with sensitive teeth and gums, receding gums, and/or defective restorations should consult with their dentist prior to using a tooth-whitening system. Anyone allergic to peroxide (the whitening agent) should not use a bleaching product.
Gum disease, worn enamel, cavities, and exposed roots. Individuals with gum disease or teeth with worn enamel are generally discouraged from undergoing a tooth-whitening procedure. Cavities need to be treated before undergoing any whitening procedure. This is because the whitening solutions penetrate into any existing decay and the inner areas of the tooth, which can cause sensitivity. Also, whitening procedures will not work on exposed tooth roots because roots do not have an enamel layer.
Fillings, crowns, and other restorations.
Tooth-colored fillings and resin composite materials used in dental restorations (crowns, veneers, bonding, bridges) do not whiten. Therefore, using a whitening agent on teeth that contain restorations will results in uneven whitening — in this case, making the teeth without restorations appear lighter than those with restorations. Any whitening procedure should be done prior to the placement of restorations. Individuals with numerous restorations that would result in uneven whitening may be better off considering bonding, veneers, or crowns rather than a tooth whitening system. Ask your dentist what strategy is best for you.
Unrealistic expectations. Individuals who expect their teeth to be a new “blinding white” may be disappointed with their results. Smokers need to be aware that their results will be limited unless they refrain from continued smoking, particularly during the bleaching process. A healthy guide as to a reasonable degree of whiteness to achieve with a whitening process that would give a natural appearance to a person’s teeth is a slightly whiter color than the whites of your eyes.
Darkly stained teeth. Yellowish teeth respond well to bleaching, brownish-colored teeth respond less well and grayish-hue or purple-stained teeth may not respond to bleaching at all. Blue-gray staining caused by the antibiotic tetracycline is more difficult to lighten and may require up to six months of home treatments or several in-office appointments to successfully lighten. Teeth that have dark stains may be better candidates for another lightening option, such as veneers, bonding, or crowns. Your dentist can discuss the options best suited for you.
Risks Associated With Teeth Whitening
The two side effects that occur most often with teeth whitening are a temporary increase in tooth sensitivity and mild irritation of the soft tissues of the mouth, particularly the gums. Tooth sensitivity often occurs during early stages of the bleaching treatment. Tissue irritation most commonly results from an ill-fitting mouthpiece tray rather than the tooth-bleaching agent. Both of these conditions usually are temporary and disappear within one to three days of stopping or completing treatment.
If you do experience sensitivity, you can reduce or eliminate it by:
Wearing the tray for a shorter period of time (for example, two 30-minute sessions vs. two 60-minute sessions).
Stop whitening your teeth for two to three days to allow your teeth to adjust to the whitening process.
Ask your dentist or pharmacist for a high fluoride-containing product, which can help remineralize your teeth. Apply the fluoride product to the tray and wear for four minutes prior to and following the whitening agent.
Brush your teeth with a toothpaste made for sensitive teeth. These toothpastes contain potassium nitrate, which helps soothe your teeth’s nerve endings.
Some whitening products dispensed through dentists’ offices as well as professionally applied (in-office) bleaching products have received the American Dental Association (ADA) Seal of Acceptance, which indicates that the product has met ADA guidelines for safety and effectiveness. Currently, only dentist-dispensed home-use products containing 10% carbamide peroxide and office-applied products containing 35% hydrogen peroxide have received the ADA Seal of Acceptance. Over-the-counter bleaching products are not endorsed by the ADA because the organization believes that professional consultation is important to ensuring safe and effective use. No whitening products using lasers are on the ADA’s list of accepted products. Several whitening toothpastes that are available over-the-counter have received the ADA Seal of Acceptance. For a list of specific toothpastes that have gained the ADA’s Seal of Acceptance, visit www.ada.org.
It should be noted that not all manufacturers seek the ADA’s Seal of Acceptance. This is a voluntary program that requires considerable expense and time on the part of a manufacturer. Just because a product does not have the ADA Seal of Acceptance does not necessarily mean that the product is not safe and effective. You can be assured, however, that products that do carry the seal have meet the ADA’s standards for safety and effectiveness when used as directed.
Teeth whiteners are not drugs and therefore are not regulated by the FDA.
Tips to Consider When Choosing an Over-the-Counter Whitening Kit
Try to select a teeth whitening kit that allows some customization of the mouthpiece. Some kits come with a mouthpiece that can be molded to some degree. These are better than others that come with a standard mouthpiece.
Try to gain the opinion of others who may have already tried the kit you are considering.
If at any time you experience a prolonged change in the color of your gums or an increased tooth sensitivity to hot or cold foods and beverages, stop wearing the mouthpiece and see your dentist immediately.
The desire to have a bright, shiny teeth can make all of us forget that teeth whitening, like the most of the dental and cosmetic procedures, can have negative sides if not done correctly. Yes, all of us would like to be able to show off the new show-white smile, but how big is the price for that? And I don’t mean in money terms. Although teeth whitening methods are said to be totally safe and not harsh for the teeth, some people still have second thoughts. I mean, in this process really harsh bleaching chemicals are used so it’s quite logical to ask yourself what negative effect can that have and are they temporary or there are some long term side effects that nobody wants to mention. Well, yes, there are negative effects. Some of them are just a temporary inconvenience while some of them can seriously damage the teeth. All that, of course depends on how the whitening is conduced.
If a dentist performs the whitening there are no potential risks because he will do it carefully and professionally. You can, however experience some short term inconveniences like burning gum or you teeth may became a little more sensitive. The reason for that are of course the chemicals that are used in the whitening process. The dentist will make sure you teeth don’t get over bleached and he will protect the soft tissues so the burning of the gum is reduced to a minimum. The chemical dentist uses are, indeed, stronger than in over-the-counter kits but that should not be a problem if a procedure is conducted rarely and by a professional. However, going to the dentist shop for teeth whitening and then bleaching some more at home can, and probably will damage the tooth enamel and make the teeth very sensitive.
If you try to do the teeth whitening by yourself you may experience graver discomfort. Many people use over- the–counter products without consulting their dentist. What they don’t know is that bleaching agents like hydrogen and carbamide peroxide can cause severe bleeding and burning of the mouths soft tissues, and if they are ingested can also cause abdominal pains and diarrhea. The result of the home teeth bleaching can be pretty bad. The teeth can became unnaturally white while all corrections done on them remain the same colour as before and that doesn’t only look bad but demands a visit to the dentist office as soon as possible. This method can actually make you spend more money fixing the damage rather than saving money by whitening at home.

Decisive 5th win for Reid
Pierre Reid celebrates with (l. to r.) his wife Lynn Blouin, and two of his children, Louis and Marie-Claire, after his win on Monday night.
Pierre Reid didn’t have to wait long to learn that he had won his 5th consecutive campaign for a Liberal seat at the National Assembly on Monday night. Less than an hour after the polls were closed, he knew he had the election in the bag. Although surprised with such a quick outcome, he wasn’t entirely surprised by his win. “After more than a week of polls going in the same direction, all indicating a trend towards a Liberal government, I wasn’t really surprised,” said the re-elected Orford candidate on Tuesday.
Asked which personal qualities helped his leader win this election, Mr. Reid, who supported Mr. Couillard in his bid as leader of the Quebec Liberals, commented: “I just watched his first press conference as premier. He is a man who, when he speaks, you believe him. He generates trust and confidence, and he’s respectful of others. He’s also very intelligent and learns very quickly; he knows his priorities.”
Commenting on why, in his opinion, the Parti Quebecois lost the election, Mr. Reid said: “The population decided they didn’t like the politics of the PQ. During the last year and a half they were insensitive to the economy, jobs and the neces- sity of a balanced budget. They were playing ‘hideand-seek’ with the population when it came to a referendum, but during the election it became clear that they were using two levels of language; people don’t like that. They also tried ‘wedge’ politics, like in the United States. They used an issue like the Charter to divide the population, but we saw yesterday that the Quebec people don’t want to get into that kind of politics.”
“Mr. Couillard will be a good premier because he has strong beliefs, he’s very transparent and has integrity. As a brain surgeon he had to be very task-oriented and target-oriented, and he brings that to politics. He has an important and difficult task in front of him now, to create the Cabinet,” said Mr. Reid.
“I’m very happy. I have a strong belief in democracy. It’s not always a straight line but when people go too far, people will react to that. I think there is one important message in this: Quebec must be inclusive with immigrants and the basic population, the Anglophone community being a part of that. We must encourage harmony between French and English; we are a good example of this here in the Townships and I’m looking forward to the next four years; we should get a lot done here,” concluded Mr. Reid.

For more than five years, Donald Trump’s new top campaign aide, Paul Manafort, lobbied for a Washington-based group that Justice Department prosecutors have charged operated as a front for Pakistan’s intelligence service, according to court and lobbying records reviewed by Yahoo News.
Manafort’s work in the 1990s as a registered lobbyist for the Kashmiri American Council was only one part of a wide-ranging portfolio that, over several decades, included a gallery of controversial foreign clients ranging from Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos and Zaire’s brutal dictator Mobutu Sese Seko to an Angolan rebel leader accused by human rights groups of torture. His role as an adviser to Ukraine’s then prime minister, Viktor Yanukovych, an ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, prompted concerns within the Bush White House that he was undermining U.S. foreign policy. It was considered so politically toxic in 2008 that presidential candidate John McCain nixed plans for Manafort to manage the Republican National Convention — a move that caused a rupture between Manafort and his then business partner, Rick Davis, who at the time was McCain’s campaign manager.
Manafort’s work for the Kashmiri group has so far not gotten any media attention.
But it could fuel more questions about his years of lobbying for questionable foreign interests before Manafort, 67, assumed his new position as chief delegate counter and strategist for a presidential candidate who repeatedly decries the influence of Washington lobbyists and denounces the manipulation of U.S. policy by foreign governments.
Court records show that Manafort’s Kashmiri lobbying contract came on the FBI’s radar screen during a lengthy counterterrorism investigation that culminated in 2011 with the arrest of the Kashmiri council’s director, Syed Ghulam Nabi Fai, on charges that he ran the group on behalf of Pakistan’s intelligence service, the ISI, as part of a scheme to secretly influence U.S. policy toward the disputed territory of Kashmir.

The Kashmiri American Council was a “scam” that amounted to a “false flag operation that Mr. Fai was operating on behalf of the ISI,” Gordon D. Kromberg, the assistant U.S. attorney who prosecuted the case, said in March 2012 at Fai’s sentencing hearing in federal court. While posing as a U.S.-based nonprofit funded by American donors sympathetic to the plight of Kashmiris, it was actually bankrolled by the ISI in order to deflect public attention “away from the involvement of Pakistan in sponsoring terrorism in Kashmir and elsewhere,” Kromberg said. Fai, who pleaded guilty to conspiracy and tax fraud charges, was then sentenced to two years in federal prison.
Lobbying records filed with the secretary of the Senate show that Manafort’s lobbying firm, Black, Manafort, Stone & Kelly, was paid $700,000 by the Kashmiri American Council between 1990 and 1995. This was among more than $4 million that federal prosecutors alleged came from the ISI; Fai collected the money over 20 years from “straw” American donors who were being reimbursed from secret accounts in Pakistan. (The funds were in some cases delivered to Fai in brown paper bags stuffed with cash — and then the donors reimbursed with wire transfers from ISI operatives, according to an FBI affidavit.)
Manafort, who handled the Kashmiri account for his firm, was never charged in the case, and Kromberg told Yahoo News that what knowledge, if any, he had of the secret source of money from his client was not part of the Justice Department’s investigation. (While registering with Congress as a domestic lobbyist for the Kashmiri American Council, Manafort never registered with the U.S. Justice Department as a foreign agent of Pakistan, as he would have been required to do if he was aware of the ISI funding of his client.)
But a former senior Pakistani official, who asked not to be identified, told Yahoo News that there was never any doubt on Pakistan’s part that Manafort knew of his government’s role in backing the Kashmiri council. The former official said that during a trip from Islamabad in 1994 he met with Manafort and Fai in Manafort’s office in Alexandria, Va., “to review strategy and plans” for the council. Manafort, at the meeting, presented plans to influence members of Congress to back Pakistan’s case for a plebiscite for Kashmir (the largest portion of which has been part of India since 1947), he said. (Internal budget documents later obtained by the FBI show plans by the council to spend $80,000 to $100,000 a year on campaign contributions to members of Congress.) “There is no way Manafort didn’t know that Pakistan was involved with” the council, the former official said, although he added: “Some things are not explicitly stated.”
Neither Manafort nor the Trump campaign responded to requests for comment for this story. (“I’m not working for any client right now other than working for Mr. Trump,” Manafort recently said on NBC’s “Meet the Press” when asked by moderator Chuck Todd about his past “controversial” clients.)

But Manafort’s former partner Charlie Black, now an adviser to rival Republican presidential candidate John Kasich, said that as far as the firm was concerned, the Kashmiri council was a domestic, not a foreign, client. “Nobody was more surprised than me that the guy was taking the money from Pakistan,” Black said in a telephone interview. “We didn’t know anything about it.”
But there was no doubt on the part of the Indian government about where the money was coming from. Its officials repeatedly alleged that the Kashmiri council was a front group for Pakistan during the period that Manafort’s firm was lobbying for it. The issue blew up in September 1993 after Manafort and one of his lobbying associates, Riva Levinson, traveled to Kashmir and, according to Indian officials, posed as CNN reporters in an effort to gather video footage of interviews with Kashmiri officials.
“The whole thing was obviously a blatant operation of producing television software with a deliberate and particularly anti-Indian slant by lobbyists hired by Pakistan for this very purpose,” Shiv Shankar, then the Indian Foreign Ministry spokesman, said in a letter to CNN in Atlanta at the time. (Levinson did not respond to a request for comment from Yahoo News. At the time she denied the Indian allegations, telling a UPI reporter, “We never misrepresented ourselves as journalists.”)
Exactly what Manafort did for the Kashmiri council is unclear from the sketchy lobbying reports his firm filed with the secretary of the Senate. Those reports show his firm first registered as lobbyists for the group in October 1990, the same year the group was founded by Fai. The reports list little beyond the purpose of the lobbying: to seek support for a House resolution by then-Rep. Dan Burton to sponsor a “peaceful resolution” of the Kashmir dispute. They also show payments to the firm of $140,000 a year. (During this time, Black, Manafort had a long list of other domestic clients that included the NRA, the Tobacco Institute and the Trump Organization, which paid the firm $70,000 a year to lobby Congress on casino gambling, aviation and tax issues, according to the lobbying records.)
“We went to the Hill for them to raise the profile of the [Kashmiri] cause,” said Black about the firm’s work for Fai’s council. “But nobody in Bush 41 [the administration of George H.W. Bush] or the Clinton administration wanted to touch it. We never got any real attention for it.”
The FBI came across evidence that ISI was actually not pleased with Manafort’s work. The bureau’s investigation began in 2005 with a tip from a confidential informant (who was seeking a reduced prison term) that Fai and an associate in Pakistan, Zaheer Ahmad, were agents of the ISI. As part of the probe, agents obtained secret national security warrants to wiretap Fai’s communications; they also searched his home and offices. Among the evidence they seized: a December 1995 letter from Fai’s main ISI handler, identified as a Pakistani Army brigadier general named Javeed Aziz Khan, who went by the name of “Abdullah,” that criticized Fai for renewing a contract with a public relations firm, according to the FBI affidavit from a counterterrorism agent, Sarah Webb Linden, that was filed to support Fai’s detention in July 2011.

Eight months later, at Fai’s sentencing hearing, prosecutor Kromberg for the first time identified the public relations firm as Black, Manafort, according to court records. He then detailed a dispute between Fai and his ISI handler over the Black, Manafort contract. Fai wrote back to Khan the next day insisting that the ISI official had in fact approved the renewal of the contract and noted that to “make it appear” that the council was a Kashmiri organization “financed by Americans,” there was a preexisting agreement that nobody from the Pakistani Embassy would ever contact Black, Manafort, said Kromberg. But Fai was overruled, according to Kromberg’s account. The ISI handler wrote back to Fai stating that that “‘we’ — a reference to the ISI — were unsatisfied with the performance of Black, Manafort & Stone, and advised Fai to terminate the contract immediately,” according to a transcript of Kromberg’s statement to the court.
Meanwhile, the FBI pursued even more alarming allegations relating to Ahmad, Fai’s Pakistan-based associate. According to a ProPublica account, the bureau questioned witnesses about a trip that Ahmad had allegedly made to Afghanistan with a Pakistani nuclear scientist, Sultan Bashiruddin Mahmood; the scientist was suspecting of having met with Osama bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri in August 2001 to discuss the terror leaders’ interest in acquiring nuclear weapons.
Manafort, for his part, appears to have expanded his business connections in Pakistan. In 2013 he acknowledged to French investigators that, in 1994, he had received $86,000 from two arms dealers involved in the sale of French attack submarines to Pakistan’s navy. The payments were part of an arrangement to compensate Manafort for political advice and polling he provided to French presidential candidate Édouard Balladur — one part of a wide-ranging French investigation into alleged kickbacks from arms sales dubbed by the French press “the Karachi affair.”
One puzzling question about the Kashmir case is why, six years after the investigation began, the FBI decided to arrest Fai in 2011. One explanation, a source familiar with the case said, is that it came during a period of mounting tensions between the United States and Pakistan, much of it due to concerns among U.S. national security officials about the “double game” being played by the ISI. In May of that year, President Obama ordered the U.S. raid that killed bin Laden without informing the Pakistani military, in part because of fears that elements of the ISI (an arm of the military) might have been protecting the al-Qaida leader. Just weeks later, federal prosecutors in Chicago presented damning testimony in federal court that an ISI handler had directed one of the confessed conspirators in the 2008 terrorist attack in Mumbai — which killed 164 people, including six Americans — that was perpetrated by Lashkar-e-Taiba, a Pakistani-based group with links to al-Qaida committed to “liberating” Muslims from Indian rule in Kashmir.
Then, on July 18, after Fai returned from a trip to the United Kingdom, the FBI confronted him for the third time about whether he had any connections to the ISI — and he denied it. Fai was arrested, and he and Ahmad (who remained in Pakistan and died later that year) were charged in federal court with being unregistered foreign agents of Pakistan.

Starbucks Caramel Chai Latte. To really go full cottage-core, try the White Chocolate Cinnamon Chai Latte. Then, ask for a pump of Cinnamon Dolce Syrup and a pump of White Mocha Syrup. Starbucks Caramel Chai Latte step by step.
Select a store to view availability Rich, creamy, and slightly spicy, Chai Tea Latte is one of the most popular hot beverages at Starbucks. Now, it is possible to buy the Chai Tea Concentrate online, or large grocery stores, which makes is super easy to make this oh-so-loved drink at home. WHAT IS CHAI TEA LATTE Per its product page, a Starbucks Chai latte has three main ingredients: milk, water, chai tea concentrate. You can cook Starbucks Caramel Chai Latte using 5 ingredients and 6 steps. Here is how you achieve it.
Ingredients of Starbucks Caramel Chai Latte
- You need 1 of Lipton Caramel Chai Latte.
- It’s 120 ml of hot water.
- Prepare 150 ml of cold water.
- Prepare 1 cup of milk.
- Prepare 4-6 of ice cubes.
Of course, that chai tea concentrate is where all the flavor lives. The flavor of chai certainly doesn't get lost when it's mixed with steamed milk to make a hot chai latte or ice and milk to make an iced chai tea latte. On the downside, since the Starbucks chai concentrate is pre-made with sugar, it's not possible to get a "skinny" or sugar-free chai latte made with the concentrate. Similar to a Starbucks chai tea latte, a chai frappuccino is a wonderful blend of spice-filled chai and milk.
Starbucks Caramel Chai Latte instructions
- Pour 200ml of hot water in.
- Add the chai latte.
- Pour in the milk (lost photograph).
- ✨ Enjoy ✨.
- If u want it iced add some cold water, leave it in the freezer for 3 minutes, and throw in 4-6 ice cubes.
Blended with ice and crème frappuccino syrup, a chai frappuccino is akin to a milkshake, though not quite as thick. Of course, a generous topping of whipped cream makes it a real treat. According to TikToker and barista @GreyGhoul, you'll need to ask for two pumps of caramel syrup, two pumps of toffee nut syrup, and two pumps of cinnamon dolce syrup mixed with whole steamed milk. The Salted Caramel Mocha is a luxurious treat, consisting of a combination of mocha and toffee nut syrup, whipped cream, and caramel drizzle, all topped off with Starbucks' signature sea salt that only appears during the fall. One of the most loved seasonal drinks, you can order this year-round but unfortunately minus the sea salt.

Dinner consisted of veal Marsala (wife) and blackened grouper for me. Both were superb. The great food, attentive service and uniqueness that is Vinings combined for a great evening.
A warm, romantic setting, small plates, and a wonderful wine list make the meal at Soho. – The Scene
Soho's interior is downright sexy. A warm glow prevails in the two dining rooms thanks to dark woods, amber faux-finished walls and plenty of flickering candlelight.

We waited at the bar and had a few drinks. 9 comes around. No table. 930, we finally get seated by not-so-nice hostess. During this time, there were at least 4 couples who were in the same situation (why does this place even take reservations!) Time to order and the waiter treats us rudely because we don't order wine. Hint: we had drank enough at the bar on a empty stomach and we didnt want any more. The waiter was not attentive and the food was average. Much better places with alot less trouble.

Great Food, Great Wine, Great Service – There's really not much more I can add. From a friendly attentive waitstaff to great suggestions on food and drink. This place has it all.

Morgan leads Illinois to 85-69 win over Michigan
CHAMPAIGN -- Illinois coach John Groce saw the change he had hoped for from his team Wednesday night in the Illini's 85-69 win over Michigan.
Illinois (12-5, 2-2 Big Ten) changed up its lineup after its 96-80 loss to Indiana on Saturday, its second blowout loss in three games, and the improvements showed as six different players scored in double figures, led by Maverick Morgan with 16 points.
The changes worked for Groce on Wednesday, but the coach stayed away from cementing the lineup when asked if it would continue to succeed.
"(The changes worked) tonight," Groce said. "I think we're going to need everybody, every game and every team is different. Tonight it was the best decision for our team to put us in the position to compete tonight."
Much of the offensive success came from the addition of freshmen Kipper Nichols and Te'Jon Lucas into the lineup. The two impressed the coaching staff in Illinois' attempted comeback against Indiana, leading to more playing time.
Nichols had his strongest performance of the season, coming off the bench for 13 points and eight rebounds, helping the Illini to a 30-17 rebounding advantage.
Lucas took advantage of 23 minutes of playing time, leading Illinois' productive offense while also scoring five points and adding eight assists with only one turnover.
Illinois outscored Michigan 28-9 off the bench.
The Wolverines had a 4:30 field goal drought and the Illini put together a 17-2 run to close the first half for a 49-36 halftime.
Both teams shot better than 60 percent in the first half but the Illini were even better in the second, making 17 of 21 shots, and finished 9 of 14 from 3-point range. Michigan cooled off to 45 percent in the second half but finished 7 of 14 behind the arc.
"The basket is really big when you're playing Michigan right now," Michigan coach John Beilein said.
DJ Wilson led Michigan (11-6, 1-3) with 19 points and Muhammad-Ali Abdur-Rahkman added 14 points in an effort where too many Illinois runs and Michigan scoring droughts took the game away from Michigan.
"Really a tough game for this coach to understand. Obviously Illinois played really well," Beilein said. "We didn't guard the ball really well, and that's the story of the game."
Michigan: Beilein's team couldn't sneak away with a win that it needed to impress the NCAA Tournament selection committee. Michigan will need to rebound quickly with red-hot Nebraska coming into town Saturday.
Illinois: The Illini won a game they needed to win for their NCAA Tournament hopes to stay alive. A home loss against a fellow bubble team wouldn't look good come Selection Sunday.
STAT OF THE NIGHT
Illinois' big had a dominant offensive performance, but they also won big on the board, out-rebounding Michigan 30-17.
It was announced before the game that Illinois' D.J. Williams was taking a "temporary leave from the team for personal reasons." When asked about a possible transfer, Groce said, "Not to my knowledge."
"There's a mutual understanding of why he needed to leave for a few days. There are things more important than basketball. We will continue to have conversations with him."
Michigan is home against Nebraska on Saturday.
Illinois will try to avenge an earlier loss, hosting Maryland on Saturday.

Olivia Rodrigo, Bella Poarch and Hailee Steinfeld in Variety’s ‘Power of Young Hollywood Impact List' Issue 2021
Singer-songwriter OLIVIA RODRIGO graces one of the magazine covers of Variety's Power of Young Hollywood issue. The other two cover issues include Lil Nas X and Thomas Doherty.
One of the leading business entertainment industry trade magazines, Variety highlights talent from today’s 25-and-under set making an impact in the entertainment industry.
Rodrigo's record-shattering debut single, "drivers license" and album, "Sour" (written by Rodrigo and producer Dan Nigro, recorded in isolation during the COVID-19 lockdown) landed her on the list.
Of the fifty-three young listmakers chosen by Variety, two other Filipina American entertainers are featured as well.
Positioned at #32, content creator and singer BELLA POARCH (24) created the most-liked TikTok video in 2020 and is the most followed woman of color on the app with 77 million-plus followers. She signed a deal with Warner Records ahead of her debut single “Build a Bitch,” the music video for which earned 75 million views in its first week alone. It became the biggest debut ever for a new artist on YouTube and led to a Billboard Hot 100 ranking. Poarch’s online presence made her a target for trolls who left comments encouraging suicide. “I felt like I was back in school being bullied,” says Poarch, “but after a certain point I realized none of it matters.”
Positioned at #41, actor and musician HAILEE STEINFELD (24) shot to fame with an Oscar nomination for ”True Grit” and hasn’t slowed since. Returning to this list, her current projects include the Disney Plus series ”Hawkeye” and the third season of the Apple TV Plus series ”Dickinson” in which she acts and executive produces. Known for playing roles that embody strong female characters, Steinfeld appreciates ”playing girls who are strong and witty and skilled, but have to work for all of that, which, at the end of the day, is relatable.” Recently, she’s branched into other business ventures and created a capsule collection with Frankies Bikinis and co-founded the eyewear brand Prive Revaux.
To see the entire list:
We are presenting our next Facebook LIVE Guest Panel Series, "Artists, Creatives & Business" this Saturday, May 15 at 6PM (Los Angeles, CA) / this Sunday, May 16 at 9AM (Philippines) with FILIPINOS IN ANIMATION featuring Marvel Studio's Anthony Francisco ("Guardians of the Galaxy," "Black Panther," "Doctor Strange," "Ant-Man," the creator of Groot and a Pinoy influence on the female warriors of "Black Panther"), Disney's Bobby Pontillas (writer/director of the Academy Award nominated short animated film, "One Small Step," Animation on "Big Hero 6," "Wreck-It Ralph," "Zootopia") and Keith Sicat ("Rigodon," "Ka Oryang," "The Guerrilla is a Poet," "Woman of the Ruins") with hosts/moderators Fe Koons (Los Angeles Philippine International Film Festival) and Angela Relucio ("The Glorias," "Code: Black," History Channel's "SIX").

Powell Hall, formerly known as the St. Louis Theater, and Powell Symphony Hall, is the home of the St. Louis Symphony. The hall seats 2,689 people. The building is a contributing property of the Midtown Historic District on the National Register of Historic Places.
The building was originally called The St. Louis Theater. It was built in 1925, designed by the Chicago architectural firm of Rapp & Rapp. The theater spent the first 40 years of its existence as a stage for live vaudeville performances as well as motion pictures. The last movie shown in the old theater was The Sound of Music in 1966. At that time, the building was acquired by the Symphony Society for $500,000, through a gift from Oscar Johnson, Jr.. After spending an additional $2 million to update and renovate the theater, the hall re-opened in January 1968 as the new home of the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra.

Llew is a gorgeous fluffy cat that has been waiting in a shelter for his forever home for a total of 324 days as of this writing.
Llew, who is now 15 years old, is considered to be “a character” as well as “a great guy on his own terms.”
This indicates that he is not shy about approaching complete strangers for strokes, but if he feels that you do not fulfill his specific criteria, he will let you know.
The old guy was found wandering about a veterinarian’s office, and the RSPCA took control of him as a stray.
He dreams of spending his golden years in a retirement community where he will be left to his own devices, where he will have plenty of toys to play with, and where he will be left alone.
Because of a number different factors, Llew has been ignored by anyone looking to get a pet for the last several months.
To begin, he is getting on in years, and a lot of people aren’t interested in adopting senior cats. If you ask us, we’d say it’s a tragic embarrassment.
Second, he was born with a cleft lip, but he does not seem to be bothered by it, and we find him to be quite attractive.
Last but not least, he has a disorder that affects his thyroid, and as a result, he will need to take medicine for the rest of his life. Llew will furthermore have to make two trips each year to the veterinarian for a blood test, which will be carried out while he is under anesthesia since the procedure is something he detests.
All of this indicates that Llew need a house without any other animals or children, as well as the presence of an experienced cat owner who will not be deterred by the particular demands that he places on his caretakers.

Renewing registration of vehicles older than 15 years to get costlier from April
Re-registering of vehicles that are older than 15 years will cost up to eight times more than the current rate starting from April, as per an order issued by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways. This will be applicable across the country, except in the national capital region, where petrol and diesel powered vehicles are deemed deregistered after 15 and 10 years, respectively.
A price of ₹5,000 will have to be paid to renew the registration of all 15-year-old cars from April 1 as compared with the current rate of ₹600, Hindustan Times reported. For two-wheelers, the cost will rise up to ₹1,000 instead of ₹300 while for imported cars, the cost will be ₹40,000 instead of ₹15,000.
If a vehicle owner makes a delay in renewing registrations of private vehicles, an additional cost of ₹300 will have to be paid every month. The penalty for commercial vehicles will be ₹500 per month. The new rules issued by the ministry also state that private vehicles older than 15 years will have to apply for renewal every five years.
The ministry has also conveyed that the cost of fitness tests of old transport and commercial vehicles are also set to increase from April. A cost of ₹7,000 will be charged for taxis instead of current ₹1,000, and ₹12,500 will be charged instead of ₹1,500 for buses and trucks. Having a fitness certificate is mandatory for commercial vehicles once they are more than eight years old.
The government's move to raise compliance fees is based on the hope that vehicle owners in the country will choose to scrap their old vehicles and buy modern, new ones that are less polluting as air pollution is a serious problem here. In order to tackle the severe issue of air pollution in Delhi NCR, orders issued by the National Green Tribunal (2015) and the Supreme Court (2018) state that any registered diesel vehicle over 10 years old, and petrol vehicles over 15 years old cannot operate here.


A Pentagon spokesman said he was given the Prisoner of War status as he was the leader of the "old regime's military forces."
The spokesman, Major Michael Shavers, said Saddam, captured by US troops in December, was entitled to all the rights under the Geneva Conventions. The International Committee of the Red Cross had asked to visit the former Iraqi leader as soon as possible. The US spokesman did not give further details about Saddam Hussein's conditions of detention.
POW status for Saddam Hussein meant that the former Iraqi leader would be eligible to stand trial for war crimes.
Prisoners' rights under the Geneva Convention include:
- Protection against violence, intimidation, insults and public curiosity,
- Protection against pressure of any kind during interrogation,
- Provision of valid identity documents,
- Food rations and drinking water sufficient to keep prisoner in good health,
- Adequate clothing and washing facilities, and
- Adequate medical treatment.
There was controversy over TV pictures which showed Saddam Hussein undergoing a medical examination after his capture - footage regarded by some as a failure to protect him from public curiosity. A leading Vatican clergyman described the scenes as Saddam being "treated like a cow," and some sections of the Arab world were deeply offended by them. The US maintains that the pictures were shown to demonstrate to the Iraqi people that they no longer had anything to fear.
A senior British official said Saddam - who was being held at an undisclosed location and interrogated by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) - was still refusing to co-operate with his captors, but the former president's capture last month was yielding results "far greater than we expected," the official told reporters on condition of anonymity.
The US-led coalition had used documents found with the ex-leader to mount operations against Saddam loyalists, the official said.

Other articles related to "pow status, pows":
... years later, many troops from those nations were "released" from POW status and turned into a "virtual conscript labor force" ... the German argument was that neither country remained as a recognized state to which the POWs could still claim to belong, and that since belonging to a recognized nation was a formal ... argue that the convention no longer operated-that POW status did not apply to the vast majority who had passed into captivity on and after May 5" ...
Famous quotes containing the word status:
“What is clear is that Christianity directed increased attention to childhood. For the first time in history it seemed important to decide what the moral status of children was. In the midst of this sometimes excessive concern, a new sympathy for children was promoted. Sometimes this meant criticizing adults. . . . So far as parents were put on the defensive in this way, the beginning of the Christian era marks a revolution in the childs status.”
—C. John Sommerville (20th century)
