The launching ceremony of the project, organized the Transportation Department at Dubai Municipality was attended by Eng. Hussain Nasser Lootah, Director General of Dubai Municipality and a number of Assistant Directors General and senior officials of the civic body, Saeed Khoury, CEO of Emirates Gas and Hesham Ali Mustafa, General Manager, Emirates Gas, who were briefed about the project and its details and manner of implementation in Municipality vehicles.
“Dubai Municipality is the first government body in the emirate to started converting its vehicles to natural gas, and the launch of this project is in terms of the Municipality's keenness on environmental protection in accordance with the directives of the Government of Dubai, which give rise to the strategic orientations of Dubai Municipality to ensure a clean and sustainable environment in the Emirate of Dubai,” he said.
Lootah stated that the project will be implemented in several stages and in the first phase the Municipality has begun with converting five vehicles to natural gas. “During the second phase, the project will be applied in commercial vehicles and medium-sized vehicles such as pickups, which amount to about 438 vehicles provided that natural gas is available through our partners,” he said.
“The project contributes to the economic benefit as it will achieve an estimated fuel saving of about Dhs2.3 million a year in the event of converting 400 vehicles. It will also achieve significant environmental benefit by reducing the rate of carbon emissions by 70% in each vehicle when using natural gas,” Lootah said.
According to Humaid Al Marri, Director of Transportation Department at
He stressed that natural gas is lighter than air and in case of leakage it is vapourized in the atmosphere, which is not considered toxic.
Al Marri said the Transportation Department will work with its strategic partners to get the approvals required to become one of those officially approved bodies to convert vehicles to natural gas.
“We will use the components and elements of technical parts according to the technical specifications and requirements of the Transportation Department as the use of natural gas in cars contributes to reducing the rate of carbon emissions by 70% in each vehicle that uses this fuel,” he said.
Al Marri said that natural gas is currently the most widely used in major countries as it is one of the environment friendly resources and the total number of vehicles operating with natural gas around the world amounts to more than three million vehicles in as many as 60 countries.
He added that some of the manufacturers of vehicles have begun manufacturing vehicles that operate on natural gas as it is most abundant and widespread than crude oil.
Al Marri said that the use of natural gas is considered one of the most secure sources to use as this system was tested by the approved bodies for leakage of gas and strong frame with standard specifications will be placed around the gas cylinder for its protection in the event of any accident.
“The screw valve on the cylinder closes automatically in the case of pressure becoming lower than the specified level as a result of any leak within the system. In the case of an accident it opens automatically like a repellent gas valve and as a safety gas evaporates in the atmosphere. The gas cylinders are manufactured as per world class standards that can withstand pressure up to 350 lb/inch as the operating pressure is 220 lb/inch,” he said.
Al Marri pointed out that the Department was keen to reach higher levels of safety by meeting the requirements of the UAE standard specifications in all aspects of the work from the quality of air, gas, components of equipment for converting the vehicles, stations to supply gas to vehicles to specifications of the workshops for conversion and qualifications of the technicians.


"We're not going to adjourn without a 2015 budget," said Senate Democratic Leader Troy Jackson of Allagash. "We're going to do the hard work we were sent here for, and we would ask that the governor finally join us in helping make this happen."
Senate Majority Leader Troy Jackson, D-Allagash, said LePage was playing politics with the bonds and the Maine economy because he didn’t get his way.
“Here we are one more time having to talk about this because of a governor who ... has decided that he’s lost and he’s going to do whatever he can – he’s like a petulant child – to make something happen and cause discontent in this state. I totally disagree with his approach.”
"The Governor is supposed to be the leader of our state. This Governor claims to be a turnaround specialist. But I ask you: What CEO would still have their job amidst a document shredding scandal? What CEO would still have their job if they refused to put together a budget? What CEO would still have their job after bullying and intimidating their workers? These are the questions that needed to be asked. And the voters of Maine will have the opportunity to answer whether or not they think Gov. LePage should keep his job," said Senator Jackson.
Both GOP Sen. Roger Katz and Cain condemned statements made by those outside the committee calling for retribution against LePage. Yesterday, Democratic Senate Majority Leader Troy Jackson said the governor should be impeached for violating the public trust. The committee meets next on March 28.
State Sen. Troy Jackson, sitting in the audience, wondered if new customers need even more assurance about the quality of Maine lobster. "Have you thought about having certified Maine lobster licensing or stamp?" he asked.
Restaurants, Jackson says, would rush to agree to carry only "Maine certified" lobster. "And then if you did have an instance where something poor got into the country, you could say, 'Well, it's not Maine lobster. It's some of this trash that's coming from another country," he said.
“I think he should be impeached,” said Jackson of LePage. “The governor thinks he should be the next [Wisconsin Gov.] Scott Walker, but he should be thinking about being the next [impeached and jailed Illinois Gov.] Rod Blagojevich.”
The final measure was an amended version of a bill, LD 1663, originally proposed by Sen. Troy Jackson, D-Allagash, that simply would have ended the contract with the worst-performing broker, the Connecticut-based Coordinated Transportation Solutions.
The memo was signed by prominent elected officials in the state including Majority Leader Troy Jackson (D-Allagash), House Majority Leader Seth Berry (D-Bowdoinham), Minority Whip Alex Willette (R-Mapleton), House Chair of Criminal Justice and Public Safety and former County Sheriff Rep. Mark Dion (D-Portland), and House Health and Human Services Committee Chairman Richard Farnsworth (D-Portland).
“The administration is doing things that even the Attorney General’s Office can’t defend,” Senate Majority Leader Troy Jackson ,D- Allagash, said. Jackson believes the tumult at the CDC is indicative of failed leadership by Gov. Paul LePage.
“He’s either guilty by having his administration do it, or he’s negligent in the fact that he doesn’t know anything about it,” Jackson said.
The group intends to present more than 7,000 petitions and hundreds of postcards and personal messages to leaders of the legislature, "asking them to put Maine people first, accept the federal funding and expand coverage. Petitions were collected by MPA, Credo Mobile and MoveOn," the advisory explained.
House Speaker Mark Eves and Senate Majority Leader Troy Jackson are slated to accept the petitions.

Even as the Obama administration unveiled plans for tighter gun control, state legislators began pre-emptive action to counteract any coming regulations.
Under legislation introduced in the Missouri Senate on Wednesday, federal agents trying to enforce new gun restrictions in Missouri would be guilty of a Class D felony. The bill seeks to nullify any federal law restricting semiautomatic guns and accessories beyond restrictions that existed at the end of 2012. Similar legislation had been filed in the Missouri House earlier in the week.
By nightfall Wednesday, the measures combined to draw nearly 70 co-sponsors.
"We need to stand up for our rights and how we interpret the Constitution here in Missouri," said Republican state Sen. Brian Munzlinger of Williamstown, who introduced one of the bills.
Critics dismiss the legislation as meaningless given that courts have ruled that federal law supersedes state law.
Meantime, any pushes by Missouri cities to impose municipal control over guns look unlikely. State law currently prohibits such ordinances.
Danny Rotert, spokesman for Kansas City Mayor Sly James, said "gun violence, for the most part, happens on our streets, and yet we don't have the ability to regulate guns at all."
The flood of attention that focuses on gun violence after shootings like the one in Connecticut is good, he said, but Missouri's cities have "a slow-motion massacre" every year.
St. Louis Mayor Francis Slay has called for lawmakers to give local governments the ability to craft their own gun laws, although he admits the likelihood of success is small.
"We've got a state that loves ... guns," Slay said in a recent interview with a St. Louis television station.
Democratic Gov. Jay Nixon said he would not support giving cities the power to regulate guns.
Kansas cities are also banned from enacting their own gun laws.
In fact, Missouri and Kansas gun laws are very similar. Neither state requires a permit for the purchase of rifles, shotguns or handguns. Both issue concealed-carry permits to those over the age of 21 and have similar restrictions, such as banning permits to those with felony convictions or who have been deemed mentally incompetent.

Decided: October 5, 1934.
HARRY SOTHERN, PLAINTIFF-APPELLANT,
JAMES VANDYKE, DEFENDANT-RESPONDENT
On appeal from the Supreme Court.
For the plaintiff-appellant, Platoff, Saperstein & Platoff.
For the defendant-respondent, Lindabury, Depue & Faulks.
[114 NJL Page 2]
The opinion of the court was delivered by
WELLS, J. This is an appeal by the plaintiff from a judgment entered in favor of the defendant, after a jury had rendered a general verdict of no cause of action in a trial in the Supreme Court, Essex county.
Plaintiff, a resident of New York, brought the action against the defendant, a resident of New Jersey, to recover for personal injuries received in an automobile accident which occurred August 13th, 1929, in the town of New Canaan, Connecticut.
The plaintiff's cause of action was based upon section 1628 of chapter 308, session laws of Connecticut, 1927, general statutes of Connecticut, revision of 1930, known as the "Guest act," section 1 of which provides as follows:
"No person transported by the owner or operator of a motor vehicle as his guest without payment for such transportation shall have a cause of action for damages against such owner or operator for injury, death or loss, in case of accident, unless such accident shall have been intentional on the part of such owner or operator or caused by his heedlessness or his reckless disregard of the rights of others."
From the evidence offered upon the trial, the jury might have reached the following conclusions:
The plaintiff was a stage director, who, on the evening of the accident, was directing a company of players at a local theater in Stamford, Connecticut.
After the evening's performance was over, the plaintiff and a Miss Nelson, an actress, were riding at the invitation
[114 NJL Page 3]
of the defendant, in an automobile owned and operated by him along the Smith Ridge road, New Canaan, Connecticut. The three were sitting together on the front seat, the plaintiff on the outside to the right, and the car was proceeding along the highway in a northerly direction at about thirty-five to forty miles an hour and came to a very sharp left-hand turn in the highway. The defendant, who failed to see this curve until within a few feet of it, in attempting to make the turn, drove off the road to the right and his automobile came in contact with a tree, a short distance off the road, injuring the plaintiff.
The three had dined together and before and during the dinner they imbibed some cocktails and highballs.
After the accident the defendant was arrested on a warrant, based upon a complaint made by the prosecuting attorney of the town of New Canaan, and he was brought before the town court of New Canaan to answer a charge "that on the 13th day of August, A.D. 1929, at and within the town of New Canaan, the defendant, with force and arms, did operate a motor vehicle upon a public highway of this state, to wit, Smith Ridge, in said town of New Canaan, recklessly, having due regard to the width of said street, the intersection of streets and the traffic and weather conditions existing at the time and place above mentioned, against the peace and contrary to the statute in such case made and provided."
The plaintiff offered in evidence a certified copy of this complaint, upon the back of which appeared these words -- "Complaint for Reckless Driving," and just below this were printed the words "Plea -- guilty to -- Counts." The words "guilty to" were encircled in black ink, and just below appeared the sentence "Order to pay a fine of $50 and costs."
This is the only evidence of the conviction or plea of guilty.
The court refused to admit this record in evidence.
This appeal is predicated on ten grounds, the first eight of which relate to the admissibility of evidence purporting to show that the defendant was arrested and charged with reckless driving after the accident and pleaded guilty.
Two Connecticut cases having to do with the admissibility
[114 NJL Page 4]
of pleas of guilty entered by defendants in criminal cases as admissions of liability in accident cases were cited by counsel for the respective parties. One was Zenuk v. Johnson, 158 A. 910, and the other was Grasso v. Frattolillo, 149 Id. 838. Neither of these cases is precisely in point.
We must, therefore, examine the general statutes of the State of Connecticut concerning reckless driving, upon which the criminal complaint against the defendant was based, and the decisions of the Supreme Court of Errors of Connecticut, construing the meaning of the phrase "heedlessness or reckless disregard of the rights of others" used in the Guest act, in order to determine whether a conviction under the former was material and relevant and of probative force in a civil suit based upon the latter. The Guest act has been definitely construed a number of times by the highest court of Connecticut.
The Supreme Court of Errors of Connecticut, in Bordonaro v. Senk, 147 A. 136, said:
"The framers of the statute ('the Guest act') undoubtedly used the noun 'heedlessness' in the place of the adjective 'heedless' and the word 'or' for 'an.' The phrase 'or caused by his heedlessness or his reckless disregard of the rights of others' meets the legislative intention when it is construed to read, 'or caused by his heedless and his reckless disregard of the rights of others.'"
Judge Banks, delivering the opinion for the same court, in Ascher v. Friedman, Inc., et al., 147 A. 263, after quoting the act in question, said:
"In Silver v. Silver, 108 Conn. 371, 376; 143 A. 240, 242, we construed this statute to limit liability in such actions to two classes of cases: 'First, when the accident was caused by intentional misconduct; and, second, when it was caused by heedless or reckless disregard of the rights of others, meaning thereby something more than the mere failure to exercise the care of a reasonably prudent man which is the familiar definition of negligence.'"
In Bordonaro v. Senk, supra, the court said that: "Act or conduct in reckless disregard of the rights of others is
[114 NJL Page 5]
improper or wrongful conduct, and constitutes wanton misconduct, evincing a reckless indifference to consequences to the life, or limb, or health, or reputation or property rights of another."
The court in the same case, citing Menzie v. Kalmonowitz, 139 A. 698, went on to say: "Wanton misconduct is more than negligence, more than gross negligence. It is such conduct as indicates a reckless disregard of the just rights or safety of others or of the consequences of action."
Let us now examine the statute upon which the criminal complaint against the defendant for reckless driving was made. It is section 1581 of the general statutes of Connecticut, 1930, and is as follows:
"Reckless driving. (a) No person shall operate any motor vehicle upon any public highway of the state recklessly, having regard to the width, traffic and use of such highway, the intersection of streets and the weather conditions, or so as to endanger the property or life or limb of any person.
"(b) No person shall operate any motor vehicle upon any public highway of the state at a rate of speed greater than is reasonable, having regard to the width, traffic and use of the highway, the intersection of streets and the weather conditions."
And this section is supplemented by section 1582, immediately following, which reads as follows:
"Sec. 1582. Certain acts declared reckless. The operation of a motor vehicle upon any public highway at such a rate of speed as to endanger the life of any person other than an occupant of such motor vehicle * * * shall constitute a violation of the provisions of subsection (a) of section 1581. The operation of a motor vehicle upon any public highway at such a rate of speed as to endanger the life of any occupant of such motor vehicle, but not the life of any other person than such an occupant, shall constitute a violation of the provisions of subsection (b) of section 1581."
It will be observed that subdivision (a) of section 1581, supra, specifies two offenses, namely, the operation of the motor vehicle upon any public highway recklessly, or the
[114 NJL Page 6]
operation of the motor vehicle so as to endanger the property or life or limb of any person. The complaint filed in the town court of New Canaan alleged only a violation by the defendant of the first of these two offenses.
In the case of State v. Andrews, 142 A. 840, cited by counsel for both parties, the Supreme Court of Errors of Connecticut said: "Driving 'recklessly' might be established by facts which would not prove that life, limb or property was in the given instance endangered; and, conversely, the latter might be proved without showing that the driver was acting regardless of consequences or even carelessly."
The exemplified copy of the town court record is not clear and definite as to what the defendant is alleged to have pleaded guilty, nor does it show under what facts a conviction or a plea of guilty was taken, and since the court of Connecticut in State v. Andrews, supra, has said, "driving recklessly might be established by facts which would not prove that life, limb or property was in the given instance endangered," the bare record of the town court of New Canaan offered by the plaintiff at the trial could not be used as an admission to establish liability under the "Guest statute" where liability is imposed not merely for reckless driving but is imposed only when there has been wanton misconduct, i.e., where the facts show that the defendant has evinced an utter disregard of the consequences of his act to the life and limb of his passenger.
Neither do we find any error in the court's refusal to admit certain portions of the testimony of the police officers taken by deposition. The purpose of the questions addressed to these officers was to establish the fact that a complaint of reckless driving had been made against the defendant and that defendant had entered a plea of guilty thereto. Neither of the officers had any personal knowledge of the facts of the accident. The chief of police did not attend the hearing at which the plea of guilty was entered and the other officer couldn't say definitely that he was present at the trial. The testimony of both officers, therefore, must necessarily have
[114 NJL Page 7]
been hearsay both as to the accident and what happened at the trial.
The appellant further says that it was error to exclude the testimony as to an admission which the defendant had supposedly made to his attorney. The defendant was asked whether he had not made a statement in substance or effect that he had been driving his automobile recklessly at the time and place of the accident and answered that he had not made such a statement; whereupon the attorney for the appellant asked him if he had authorized his attorney to make such a statement for him and also if he had at any time or place made a statement that he had been guilty of reckless driving at the time and place in question. These questions all had to do with the plea of guilty entered in the town court of New Canaan. This was so obviously an attempt to prove indirectly what the court refused to permit to be proved directly, that the court properly held these questions inadmissible. If the plea itself was not admissible in evidence, then, of course, any statement made to the attorney of the defendant authorizing him to make such a plea would not have been admissible. The appellant's counsel admit that the questions were not asked for the purpose of impeaching the defendant's credibility, but for the purpose of obtaining substantive proof of facts. This, for reasons before stated, we think could not be properly done.
The ninth ground of appeal is based upon the trial court's refusal to strike out the defense of assumption of risk contained in the answer of the defendant and in leaving this issue to the consideration of the jury. The appellant says that there was not a scintilla of evidence in the case from which a jury could have found that the risk to which plaintiff was exposed in riding in defendant's automobile was open, obvious and apparent to him and that plaintiff thereby assumed the risk of any damages incident thereto. We cannot agree with the appellant in this.
There was, as stated before, testimony in the case brought out by the plaintiff himself indicating that the plaintiff and the defendant had been indulging in intoxicating liquors
[114 NJL Page 8]
immediately prior to the performance of the play; that a short time before the trip began, the defendant was in an intoxicated condition back stage during the show; that he became so abusive and loud that the stage manager had to eject him, and that plaintiff was back of the stage at the time, although he says he did not see nor hear the defendant during the performance. There was also testimony that the defendant was intoxicated immediately after the accident. On the other hand, defendant denied that he was intoxicated at any time and he was corroborated in this by the testimony of a physician who examined him immediately after the accident. There was, therefore, conflicting testimony in the case as to whether or not the defendant was intoxicated while driving his automobile, and it was a question for the jury whether in the exercise of reasonable care, under all the circumstances of the case, the plaintiff, who had been conversing with the defendant on the first part of the trip, before he (plaintiff) went to sleep, knew or should have known the condition of the defendant and whether the plaintiff had acted as a reasonable person in undertaking to ride with defendant.
The plaintiff has no cause for complaint as to the court's charge on the question of assumption of risk for it couched in the very language of the plaintiff's request to charge and was very favorable to plaintiff.
We find no error in the court's refusing to strike out the defense of the assumption of risk contained in the answer of the defendant and in leaving this issue to the consideration of the jury.
The tenth ground of appeal is based upon the trial court's charge to the jury regarding the testimony as to the occurrence of the accident as follows:
"His [defendant's] description of it goes only to charge him with mistake in judgment or negligence, and if his explanation is true, then the plaintiff in this case cannot recover."
Appellant says that by instructing the jury in this manner, the trial court, in effect, charged that, as a matter of law,
[114 NJL Page 9]
only one inference could be drawn from the defendant's testimony, i.e., an inference of mistake in judgment or negligence and that this was error for it was for the jury to determine the inferences to be drawn from the defendant's testimony. The charge of the court must be considered as a whole in order to determine whether or not prejudicial error was committed in charging the jury. The court very specifically stated that if the defendant's explanation was true, then the plaintiff could not recover. We see no harm in this because it was a correct statement. The defendant's testimony would not admit of any inference of reckless disregard of the rights of others within the meaning of the Guest act as construed by the highest court of Connecticut.
The determination of the facts and the inferences to be drawn therefrom was left entirely to the jury to decide, and they were told that they must decide the facts from the evidence as they heard it and not as the court might "redetail" it to them.
We find no harmful error in the record below and we are, therefore, of the opinion that the judgment should be affirmed.
For affirmance -- THE CHANCELLOR, CHIEF JUSTICE, TRENCHARD, PARKER, LLOYD, CASE, BODINE, HEHER, PERSKIE, KAYS, HETFIELD, DEAR, WELLS, JJ. 13.
For reversal -- DONGES, VAN BUSKIRK, JJ. 2.

Yesterday, GOP Senators held their first hearing aimed at stripping away Minnesotans' constitutional right to vote. Opponents came out in force to speak against the photo ID amendment bill. Seniors, students, veterans, and more who opposed the amendment overwhelmingly outnumbered the amendment's supporters.
"Yesterday's hearing at the legislature was a clear indication that Minnesotans understand how this amendment would turn their constitutional right into a privilege," said Rep. Ellison. "They believe our Constitution should protect people's rights, not strip them away. I'm proud to stand with my fellow Minnesotans to protect our vote."
Across the state next week, Minnesotans will introduce resolutions at their precinct caucuses to oppose the photo ID amendment. Rep. Ellison's re-election campaign has been organizing voters in the Fifth District and around the state to attend their caucus, introduce the resolution, and talk to their neighbors about the amendment's dangerous consequences.
"We will fight this amendment every step of the way. Turning Minnesotans' constitutional right to vote into a privilege is wrong, and we're not going to let it happen."

Older drivers urged to disclose serious medical conditions
Nearly half of older drivers with a serious medical condition fail to inform the driving authority, putting them at risk of facing a fine as well as prosecution.
New research from Direct Line Car Insurance revealed that 28% of drivers aged 65+ have a serious medical condition, such as diabetes or epilepsy, that must be disclosed to the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA).
But 49% admit they have not done so and of this number, 57% said they don’t need to because they don’t think their condition affects their ability to drive.
One in eight (12%) say they were not aware of this obligation and 27% cite ‘other’ reasons.
Insurer Direct Line is now urging all motorists to disclose medical conditions to their insurer and the DVLA to remain within the law.
With more than a million motorists over the age of 65, they risk a £1,000 fine, prosecution and the safety of other road users by failing to disclose serious medical conditions.
And it’s not just older drivers as across the UK, 24% of drivers have “notifiable conditions” but almost a tenth of these motorists fail to disclose them.
Top tips if you have a medical condition
With more than four million drivers with a full licence aged 70 or over, and 230 drivers aged 100+, Direct Line gives these tips for motorists with a serious medical condition:
- Contact DVLA if you’re unsure whether or not you need to disclose any information. If your doctor has told you that you need to stop driving, you will need to send your licence to the DVLA.
- If you’ve a medical condition and are unsure if it should be disclosed to the DVLA, check its website.
- If you need to surrender your licence, do it voluntarily as it may mean you can start driving again sooner. There are different rules depending on if your licence was voluntarily surrendered, or if it was revoked or refused for medical reasons.
- Once your licence is taken away or surrendered, you’ll receive a letter from DVLA telling you if there’s a period of time before you can get a new one. You can then re-apply eight weeks before the end of this period via a D1 application form. You may need to send evidence of your fitness to drive.
Don’t risk invalidating your insurance
Gus Park, director of motor at Direct Line, said: “Regardless of age, drivers that have a notifiable or worsening medical condition or disability must disclose this to the DVLA and also to their insurer to stay within the law.
“Even those who feel their physical status won’t affect their driving must still disclose their condition, as failing to do so means they risk a hefty fine and even prosecution if they have an accident.
“We’re urging anyone that thinks they may have a condition or a disability they need to disclose to contact the DVLA and their insurer as they risk invalidating their licence and insurance if they don’t.”

This was my second session with Scarlett and Eliza and I just love capturing children as they grow up. Scarlett is such a beautiful big sister and clearly adores Eliza. I love the black & white series of them cuddling on the trailer. We also got the hay bales in the field (they were gone the next day!), such a beautiful backdrop to my summer sessions!
And this is the Montage the family ordered! I love the different textures and colours and it is even more gorgeous once beautifully framed. If you would like book a farm session and create your own family Montage, do get in touch!

So, uh, made a temporary TWHL Discord channel which I will remove once PB or some Admin has made the official discord channel.http://discord.gg/qr6ufCH
Hope y'all can use it for VoIP in the DM server and stuff like that, though we already have VoIP in game, it's still cool if others want to chat and would rather not spam the Shoutbox me thinks.
Mainly did this because I couldn't find Archie's TeamSpeak channel IP that we used on the CS:GO comp and was like, welp, I'ma just do this.
Admins, if you want me to delete the channel, say so, will do it instantly. I will be manually filtering members, so keep that in mind. This is mostly for the frequently TWHL active members.
Gl, hf peeps.

Since you will spend a huge chunk of your day looking at the screen, it is crucial to find a monitor best fits your needs. Without a good display, whatever you do on your PC will seem dull, whether you’re into gaming or any other stuff of your choice. There are tons of features and options to look out for when buying a monitor, so a close look is required beforehand.
Quick buying tips
Choose as per your need. If you are a gamer, you should look for a fast refresh rate and low response time. Professionals should seek color accuracy and for general use, users with less specific needs often opt for a monitor with high contrast VA panel.
Higher resolution for better picture quality. Resolution refers to the monitor's pixel density in length x width format. 1920x1080, also known as 1080p or full HD (FHD), is the baseline for a modern PC build. You’ll experience sharper images on a QHD or 4K monitor.
Required resolution for gaming: More pixels produce better pictures. But if you’re into gaming, those pixels can slow you down unless you have a beefy enough graphics card. Most video interfaces don’t support refresh rates faster than 60 Hz for 4K/UHD or 5K signals. Video interfaces are just beginning to support higher refresh rates at 4K resolution, but you still need a very expensive graphics card play at 4K resolution and push past 60 frames per second (fps).
The current sweet spot seems to be QHD/2K (2560x1440) resolution. With monitors up to 32 inches, you see the good density and a detailed image that isn’t too difficult for mid-priced graphics cards to handle.
If you want ultimate speed, FHD (1920x1080) delivers the highest frame rates (you won't find gaming monitors today with lower resolution). But avoid stretching that resolution past 27 inches, as you may notice a dip in image quality, with pesky individual pixels being visible.
Bigger is better. The refresh rate is described as a number in Hz, where the number is how many times your monitor refreshes per second. In other words, it's the frame rate of the monitor: the higher the number the smoother things will look. If you’re a gamer, the refresh rate is especially important, and you’ll want a monitor with at least 75Hz (most monitors designed for gaming offer at least 144Hz), combined with the lowest response time you can find. If you’re not into gaming, a 60Hz refresh rate should do.
Shorter is better. If you are a gamer, response time is a crucial feature for you. Longer response times can mean motion blur when gaming or watching fast-paced videos. The highest response time you’ll likely see is 5ms, while the fastest gaming monitors can have a 0.5ms response time.
Today’s LCD panels use three major technologies: twisted nematic (TN panel), vertical alignment (VA panel) and in-plane switching (IPS panel). Each has several variations with different advantages. TN monitors are the fastest but cheapest due to poorer viewing angles. IPS monitors have slightly faster response times and show color better than VA panels, but VA monitors have the best contrast out of all three-panel types.
G-Sync or FreeSync
Gaming monitors usually have Nvidia G-Sync (for PCs with Nvidia graphics cards) and /or AMD FreeSync (for the right running AMD graphics). Both reduce tearing and stuttering, although G-Sync monitors usually cost more than FreeSync ones.
G-Sync monitors operate from a 30 Hz refresh rate up to the monitor’s maximum. FreeSync displays are not as consistent. FreeSync monitors usually support adaptive refresh up to a monitor’s maximum refresh rate. But it’s the lower limit you must consider.
Regardless, if your budget only has room for a low-to-mid speed graphics card, you’ll want a monitor with either G-Sync or FreeSync with a low minimum refresh rate.

Streaming giant Spotify is on the verge of sealing a deal to become Barcelona's major sponsor. According to Catalunya Ràdio, the two parties are in talks for the music service to feature on Barça's shirts from next season in place of Japanese retail corporation Rakuten. As part of the deal, the Camp Nou will be renamed "Camp Nou Spotify." Details of the duration of the agreement are as yet unknown, but Barça stand to pocket between €60m and €65m per year for the deal.
Spotify turns to Barcelona after Arsenal deal falls through
Negotiations between Barça and Spotify began last October after the Swedish form failed to reach an agreement with Premier League club Arsenal. Daniel Ek, the founder and owner of Spotify, is an avowed Gunners fan who has previously attempted to but the London side. In Spotify's favour, Barça placed value on the fact that Spotify is a globally recognised brand with a certain level of social prestige.
Barcelona had also fielded offers from Chinese technology and entertainment firm Tencent, as well as cryptocurrency companies Vegan and Polkadot after Rakuten elected not to extend its deal with the club beyond 30 June, partly as a result of Leo Messi leaving Barça for PSG.
Barça initially wanted to sell naming rights for Camp Nou for 15 years, but Spotify preferred to arrange a short-term deal for the company name to adorn the stadium. The deal is expected to add around 800 million users to Barça's social media accounts

It looks like Weezer's eighth album is a tribute to the hit TV series LOST. The name of the album is Hurley, and the cover of the album is simply going to be a close up of Jorge Garcia's face who played Hugo "Hurley" Reyes on the show.
Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo tells Spinner, the album's name came easily once they settled on the photo.
We struggled super hard trying to come up with an album title, trying to find some kind of phrase that summed up the whole aesthetic behind the album: ‘Heavy Mental,’ ‘Smaller Than Life,’” Cuomo says. “I was coming up with all kinds of stuff, but ultimately, we just went with some random word that doesn’t really have anything to do with anything. I just loved this photo of Jorge Garcia — it just had this amazing vibe. We didn’t want to do a fourth self-titled record and we knew people would refer to it as ‘the Hurley record’ even if left it without that title, so we just called it ‘Hurley.’ No words are on the cover because all we wanted was his amazing face.
In case you were wondering, the songs written for the album were not inspired by the show LOST, just the title and album cover which you can check out below. Check it out and tell us what you think! Does Hurley work for a Weezer album?

The Five Hundred Interview
The Five Hundred are a British Metal band based in Nottingham. They have been providing powerful metal & killer tunes for a few years. The band have released 2 songs in the past months & the latest, “The Rising Tide”, is an absolute banger that calls for upcoming music…
The Five Hundred ~ Emma Bauer
An interview by the photographer
These past years, UK metal scene have been a great source of the genre new era, and among the bands being ahead of this fresh air, The Five Hundred is certainly one of the most representative. After talking a little about how they’re dealing with covid situation and working from home, lock downs and so on, Andy Crawford (bassist) and Paul Doughty (guitarist) answered my questions in an open speech interview, on the past, but most of all the future of the band.
The band started in 2014, is that right?
Andy : Mark (Mark Byrne – guitarist ) and I both grew up in Gibraltar and started playing together when we were about 16.We both had the same taste in music and we moved to Nottingham together, to go to University and continue to pursue a career in music. After many years wasted in partying and a few changes with band members, eventually John (John Woods-Eley – Vocalist) became our vocalist around 2014 and this is when we became The Five Hundred.
How did you guys meet?
Andy : We met Paul at Rock City in Nottingham. He was a fan of one of our earlier bands and after many drunken conversations at the club he joined..After Paul, then Kelsey James – drummer) became a band member, who was previously in We Are Tyrants…
Adverts on Chasing The Light Art
Have you met him in a mosh pit?
Andy : No no, he definitely still does, but we’re too old to mosh now… [laughs]. We have known John for a long time, he was singing in other bands. Then he left for Australia for a while and took some time away from music.When he came back, it was the good time for him to join a new band and we all knew his vocal range would really suit the vision we had in mind for the next band…
Where does the band’s name come from?
Paul: Someone did a review of us after a gig and mentioned we sounded like there was 500 people on stage. We thought it was pretty cool, so decided to keep it. [The formation was known as DAOR before 2014]
How could you define your genre?
Andy : Ah, that’s a question for you, what would you say, I’m curious?…
Oh, I think I’d say, solid metalcore, or melodic death metal…
Andy : That’s fine with me. Even though, we don’t really want to be labelled metalcore, cause nowadays every new band that basically juxtapose screaming parts and melodic parts claims to be metalcore… We initially started with heavier sound, more thrash / death metal that evolved to a more melodic version of itself.
What are your influences, or what are you listening to?
Paul: We all have different influences, but, for example, I grew up listening to Avenged Sevenfold, Iron Maiden, Dreamtheater etc – more classic metal
Andy : The Haunted ; Meshuggah ; Killswitch Engage, to mention just a few. John is mostly into Alice in Chains, Seattle grunge scene, stuff like that…
How have you been able recording Black Dogs and The Rising Tide, what was the recording process?
Andy :Well, Paul and I work together to lay down the main structure of the songs and work remotely with Kelsey and the others.
Is everyone involved in the writing process? Lyrics or instrumental first?
Paul: Yes, everyone is involved at some point – but the music tends to be written by Andy and myself.
Andy: Mark and John write the lyrics after we’ve got the music down.
How could you describe the evolution of the band’s sound through the years, from Winters to The Rising Tide?
Andy: Winters was written before John joined the band. At first it was more death/black metal sound, with little song writing really…Now it’s more structured, without losing our identity but including more melodic parts and actual Choruses. The musical content is still dark but with John’s vocal ability I always wanted to write more melodic music. The rising tide is probably our most precise and accomplished work so far…
After Black Dogs and The Rising Tide, can we expect an album in 2021 ?
Paul: Oh, definitely, we already have the material for that, the Covid situation has messed it up a little, and there is still a bit of mixing, but it’s ready.
Andy: We will probably release 2 other songs, one around next February, another one in spring, and probably the new album shortly after that.

If you had to pick, who would you like to tour with?
Paul and Andy: Meshuggah, any pals from UK, Betraying the Martyrs, Bleed from Within, InVisions…. Touring with Red Method was really cool. We have something scheduled June 2021. Thing is, at the moment, there isn’t anything clear for the coming months, tour dates being constantly postponed for most bands…. who knows… But we’re really looking forward in performing on stage again.
To Andy and Paul for spending this time to answer my questions. We all Agreed that next time, it would be much better live, any time soon at a concert or a festival, fingers crossed… Meanwhile, Listening once again to the amazing past album, Bleed Red, waiting for its succession…
Black Dogs and The Rising Tide, released: May 2020 and Oct 2020

PANAVIA F 2.0 is an universal resin cement which shows high bond strength to tooth structures, metals and ceramics. PANAVIA F 2.0 has been regarded as a guarantee for permanent adhesive technique in the areas of all-ceramics and metal restorations, especially for high-quality and difficult restorations. It is recommended by leading universities as a premium product.
The self-etching cement system prevents post-operative sensitivity and provides consistently good results. The anaerobic curing properties which do not begin until direct contact has been made with the restoration (no more contact with oxygen) and the flexible consistency make PANAVIA(TM) F 2.0 a popular aid in daily practice. Even after releasing fluoride, the cement maintains its high mechanical strength due to the special surface coating technology of sodium fluoride.

Leader Andreas Grimstad says that it was the clever Hareid rovers who built “The Barn”, which is 20 meters long, three meters tall and six meters wide. The rovers who constructed the house came a few hours before their group, and spent in total seven hours building their construction. Today, the rovers had to prioritize getting their beauty sleep, but leader Andreas is more than happy to tell us about “The Barn”.
The building has four rooms, one for the rovers, and three for the scouts. In total, more than 30 people sleep inside, but Andreas thinks it could fit up to 60 scouts sleeping there at the same time. “The Barn”, which is built with five thick supporting beams, consists of around 35 pioneering poles. The builders lost track of the number when lashing the poles.
The rover whistle in “The Barn”. “The Barn” consist of four dormitories.
Andreas has been a scout for 25 years. He can tell that as far as he can remember, the group has always built “The Barn” on camp. He can remember one time they built “The Barn” in a semi-circle with a centre square. It drew attention. The Hareid Scouts will probably continue building “The Barn” in the future, but the group has not always had such a safe future.
Five years ago, the group almost ceased to be. Only rovers and leaders were left in the group. When a leader wanted to close down the group, enthusiasts like old scouts, outdoor enthusiasts and parents decided to revive the group. They succeeded, and today they have 21 scouts at the camp.
The Bivouac Andreas Grimstad is sleeping in. A bivouac is some sort of lean-to.
Prefer “The Barn”
Building “The Barn” is a completely normal thing in the Hareid Scout group, there is no camp without it. Andreas himself lives in a bivouac, a solid shed made of pioneering poles and tarpaulin. “The Barn” is reserved for the younger ones. The scouts have tried to sleep in tents, but “The Barn” or a bivouac is more popular. Andreas explains:
- The scouts have lived in tents before, but they would like to do as the rovers, and build and live inside “The Barn” too. Our scouts look up to the rovers a lot.
On local hikes that last more than one night, the scouts build their own bivouacs out of trees they cut down in the area. The leaders in Hareid believes this is great training for rover life. Once the scouts become rovers, it is their turn to continue the tradition with “The Barn”.

Metro Manila · 15 Exotic Fruits Grown In The Philippines
The world has a variety of bizarre and exotic fruits and many of these strange fruits grow in the Philippine Islands.
Walking in the produce aisle of a big grocery store in the Megacity gives one an impression that there is a wide array of fruits to choose from, but the reality is, the stuff on the produce aisle is only a sampling of what Mother Nature offers. Below are 15 exotic fruits grown in the Philippines.
This list is not ranked.
The Rambutan’s most apparent characteristic is its soft spikes. If you haven’t seen this fruit yet, the best way to spot it in the produce aisle is to look for something that looks like a furry strawberry. Indigenous to the Malay Archipelago, this reddish fruit is one exotic fruit loved by many Filipinos. Once the skin is removed, you will find a smooth fleshy fruit that looks like a lychee.
2. Star Apple
Locally known as the Cainito or the Caimito, this fruit has a thick, round, purple shell. When cut open in the middle, one would see a star pattern, inspiring those who discovered it to give it such a name. The rather sweet pulp is mainly white but comes with a tinge of purple.
Star Apples come from the West Indies though and are also found in the lowlands of Central America. However, this fruit is widely grown in many places here in the Philippines.
3. Star Fruit
Also known as Carambola, this fruit is indigenous to the Philippine Islands but is also grown in other parts of Asia as well as South America. It has ridges that run down its length and when cut sideways, the Carambola shows off a star pattern. Yellow when ripe, this native Philippine fruit is rich in antioxidants.
Known for its thorn-covered husk and overpowering smell, Durian is a popular fruit in the Philippines specifically in the southern part of the country where it is grown. Alfred Russel Wallace, a naturalist known for his work in natural selection, described the taste of this particular fruit as “a rich custard”.
Because of its pungent smell, Filipinos often say that when it comes to the Durian, you either love it or hate it. If you would like to get a taste of this fruit without having to smell its natural fragrance, you can buy Durian candies from stores that sell local Filipino products.
5. Green Mango
There is nothing strange about green mangoes but the way this tropical fruit is eaten in the Philippines can be classified as weird. One must note though that weird is not a bad thing at all.
Because green mangoes are so sour, Filipinos love eating it with shrimp paste referred to in the vernacular as alamang. In some provinces, it is eaten with fish paste (bagoong) and a splash of vinegar.
Sweetsop, also known as Sugar Apple is widely grown in the country. Referred to in most Philippine languages as Atis, this exotic fruit has the shape of a pine cone. Under its lumpy shell is a fragrant white flesh that tastes a bit like custard with a hint of sweetness and sourness.
Breadfruits are found in many parts of the Philippines and Southeast Asia. When not yet ripe, breadfruits are starchy and hard. If you cook unripe breadfruit however, you will get something that tastes like fresh bread.
Lanzones is a small light brown fruit with thin skin. Inside, you will find five juicy segments that have a distinctive kind of sweetness. Be careful though because some of these segments have very bitter seeds inside. According to local folklore, this fruit tree was borne out of the love between a farmer and his wife.
Known internationally as Java Plum, the Duhat is a fruit tree that bears a berry-like fruit with a deep purple color. It is a little sticky and the color often sticks to anything that it touches especially when the juices have come out. This exotic fruit is found in many areas in the Philippines but is specifically grown in the Ilocos Region and added to sugar cane wine.
Jackfruit, known as Langka in the Philippines, is a fragrant fruit that often reaches up to 35 kilograms in weight. This fruit is described as aromatic, starchy, fibrous, and very sweet. Langka shavings preserved in sugary syrup are often used in the Filipino ice dessert Halo-halo.
Chico (Sapodilla) is a brown fruit with a skin that is can be described as a softer version of sandpaper. While it has a relatively rough exterior, it contains a soft and very sweet flesh and comes with an aroma likened to beer. Widely grown in the Philippines, this sweet little fruit was introduced in the country during the Spanish colonial times.
Chesa or Tiesa (Lucuma) is indigenous to the Andes Mountains but is grown in many parts of the Philippine Islands. This fruit, when not yet ripe, is rock hard. Vendors of the fruit would often tell their customers to wait for it to turn soft before slicing it open. When finally ripe, you will find that the flesh has the texture of boiled yolk. It is so soft that it melts in your mouth. Its taste is often described as caramel custard or like that of a pumpkin.
Dubbed as a cancer killer, Guyabano or Soursop is a fruit with a hard, green skin. It looks like a greener and smaller version of the Jackfruit but doesn’t taste like it. When opened, one would see a white fibrous pulp. While it can be a bit sour, it has its own brand of sweetness.
14. Wild Berries
Referred to in the northern part of the country as Bugnay, these berries are harvested to make Bugnay wine. They are sweet little fruits that line the pathways of Adams and many parts of Sagada.
This bell-shaped tropical fruit, also referred to as Mountain Apple, grows in the hilly and mountainous regions of the Philippines. While this fruit is not as sweet as an apple, it has a lot of moisture inside and can quench one’s thirst.

The Turkish steel industry, which ranks 10th in the world with its exports, announced that it has made a good start to the year, and the President of the Steel Exporters’ Association (CIB), Adnan Aslan, said that the period of rise in steel exports is over. Aslan said, “The fact that Russia and Ukraine, the world’s most important steel producers, are at war gave Turkey a privilege. Especially, European companies shifted their purchases to Turkey due to the sanctions imposed on Russia. These developments were also reflected in the export figures.”
Tonnage and price will begin to decline
Noting that the steel industry, which recorded an increase of 30 percent in the first 6 months of the year compared to the previous period, closed the first half of the year with 11.9 billion dollars, Aslan said that the tonnage and price decrease in steel exports will begin. Evaluating the developments in the sector, Aslan said, “Everything was going well until the fifth month. After this month, the recession started. Due to the lack of demand, raw material prices dropped very quickly. Scrap prices fell from $650 to $330 in June. In July, the price of imported scrap rose to $400. In fact, we expected a decrease by the end of the year, but our rise continued in the first 6 months of the year when the Russia-Ukraine war broke out among the major producer countries. Especially in March, April and May, our exports increased significantly. We expect a decrease in both tonnage and price as of July.”
Developments in China determine the course of the industry
Pointing out that China’s strict implementation of COVID-19 measures and the real estate crisis adversely affected the sector, Aslan said, “There is a serious slowdown in the construction industry. In the last month, 4 local banks have filed for bankruptcy. Chinese citizens who take housing loans do not make their payments to banks. Situations in China are indicative for our industry. Steel prices in Shanghai stock market dominate both the raw material and the finished product in the world market. “We are being asked to reduce prices on the grounds that prices in China have dropped,” he said.
6 million tons of additional capacity
Underlining that investments have increased despite the global stagnation in the sector, Adnan Aslan stated that investments in import-substituting products have gained momentum. Noting that there is an investment attack especially in flat products, Aslan said in his statement, “A few of our companies will start hot and cold flat production. Tosyalı, Çolakoğlu, Habaş will establish an additional capacity of 5.5-6 million tons by the end of 2023. Tosyalı İskenderun will make a new investment in Sarizeki region. The investment amount of these companies will amount to approximately 2 billion dollars. Growth in Turkey is good. There is an export between 22-24 million tons. Production is 35 million tons in liquid steel and 40 million tons in finished product production. Our flat hot import is 8 million tons. This product is bought by the pipe and machinery industry. White goods and automotive sectors take the flat cold. These investments were made for replacement. It will significantly reduce our imports.”
“If the EU removes the quotas, we will fly in exports”
Making a statement about the quarterly quotas applied by the EU to non-member steel producing countries, Aslan said, “We want the quotas to increase, but they do not. When the ‘other countries’ group could not provide enough products in the quota in the second quarter, they divided the 7-8 percent share to other countries. Therefore, our tonnage has also increased. We completed our quota in the bar group in one day in our quota in the third quarter. We filled the three-month quota in one day. If there is no quota, we will fly in the EU market,” he said.
The Russians made competition more difficult by establishing companies from other countries.
Emphasizing that exports to South America, the USA, Canada and Europe are very good, Adnan Aslan states that they are also growing steadily in the Yemeni market. Stating that Oman, Qatar and Saudi Arabia sent their employees to this country to enter the Yemen market, Aslan said, “Yemen is our stable market. We sell 150-200 thousand tons of products every month. Apart from us, Iran also exports to this market. This exit of the Gulf countries will seriously increase the competition in this market. On the other hand, the practices of Russian companies make competition difficult. The oligarch owners of these companies have established companies on behalf of others in the United Arab Emirates, Israel and Colombia. That way they don’t get caught in the embargo. Especially Ablynx and Severstal companies give very aggressive prices. In order to compete with these companies, we have to lower the prices,” he said.

The end of 2022 is right around the corner, which means time to undergo treatment is growing short. Don’t let your dental insurance benefits and health savings account funds expire without being used! In today’s blog, your Austin, MN, dentist talks about finding time to use your benefits before they expire.
Your Dental Insurance Coverage
For people with dental insurance coverage, they have a set number of benefits that can be used for treatment during the year. Likewise, many health savings accounts have funds that accrue but cannot roll over into the new year. Essentially, if you don’t use them, you lose them. We want to make sure you use them to end 2022 with a bright and healthy smile. You can also undergo treatment before the holiday season is in full swing, as this could complicate your schedule and make finding time to see us difficult.
Starting with a Checkup
The process will begin with the dental checkup visit. This is a chance to understand the current state of your smile, and identify areas of trouble that need attention to prevent tooth loss. To conduct a diagnosis with precision and accuracy, then our team will employ digital x-rays and intraoral cameras. The checkup visit typically involves identifying common issues like tooth decay, dental infection, gingivitis, and even periodontal disease. We also indicate the presence of TMD, bruxism (chronic teeth grinding), and we could even screen for oral cancer. Not to mention assess the risk of common childhood issues for children undergoing exams and treatments.
The cleaning portion of the visit is also important, as we will gently but thoroughly remove all plaque and tartar buildup from the teeth, before polishing them for a brighter appearance. This helps fight cavities and periodontal issues, by also providing fresher breath and less visibly for teeth stains.
Our team is ready to take on the issues impacting your smile, offering major results before the holidays are here in full. For general issues, we could provide relief from TMD, bruxism, and even sleep apnea with a custom-made oral appliance. Our lifelike restorations, including fillings and crowns, can address tooth decay and infection with natural looking results. We have cosmetic care to brighten teeth and correct imperfections in the smile. For those with missing teeth, we can secure natural looking bridges, full and partial dentures, and even dental implants.
If you have any questions about our treatment options, then contact our team today.
Do You Have Questions About Using Your Benefits?
Our team is here to help you and your family end 2022 with a healthier smile! To make an appointment with the Potach and Mitchell Dental Clinic, contact our Austin, MN dental office today by calling 507-437-6312.
