Vehicle Reconditioning Means Responsible Driving

Orange means "slow down", red means "stop", and green means "go!" You must be familiar with all of those by now and you should. That's a great sign that one is responsible, not only as a citizen, but also, as a driver.

Being a responsible driver means so much as it doesn't affect only one's well being but of the others as well. Let us take into consideration the people who we see on the road every day. They cross the street, they patiently wait for a ride and they trust you with their lives as they get on the vehicle to be home, with you, behind the wheels. That's how significant your role is whenever you go out the streets and be part of a journey. You want to be one? Here's how.

First, you need to make sure that you and your vehicle are in great condition. Ask yourself if you're fit to drive. Next, properly and regularly check on your vehicle's level of performance. How you see your car will definitely be a barometer on how you treat it. If you see it as something providing you convenience, then you might just give it a little attention. If it is something you consider as a valuable possession, then you might just give it all your attention. Whatever it is, it's important to specifically maintain it for more reliability and higher resale value.

To start with, why don't you think of the word "visibility" as a top priority? After all, drving is seeing especially what's in front of you and not what's visible for you. Remember, eyes on the road! There are two things to consider - the mirrors, both the rear view and the side view mirrors and the windshield. For the rear view mirrors, avoid having too many decorations for they may hinder your sight. Same thing goes with your side view mirrors. They must be well-adjusted to suit you preference and they must be clean and clear. The windshield must be free from scratches, must not have cracks and must not be broken. If any of them appears and is present, have it checked and repaired by a car specialist. Once again, there's nothing to worry about since a car specialist may be contacted right away to provide you the service that you need. Your insurance provider is also there to help you cover most or all of the cost. Another thing to be taken into consideration are the headlights. Most vehicles on the road today have cloudy and discolored headlights. This seems to be a problem for this affects one's vision by 90% at night. An auto body repair shop can help you fix this at any time in just a short time. Safety first!

Safety on the road must always be implemented. It is a rule and it is a responsibility. We need to be attentive and we need to be involved. We should always remember that driving is not just a job but a devotion. We may not be able to avoid and prevent all road accidents all the time but it's a a goosd start to have control over it before it happens. You have the power. It's all in your hands. And here comes your signal: Go!

Operation: Opera, It's Technology! It's a Brand!

This article was written a few years back as an entry to the My Opera Writing Competition. It got past the first round winning over 350 other entries from around the world.

"INNOVATION IN TECHNOLOGY. TECHNOLOGY IS OPERA."

Technological Invention, who would have thought that these two words can actually be put together and who would have thought that they will soon be taken over by one simple word - Opera.

For decades now, people have been looking for technological answers to technological questions which seem to have no solution in sight. That's when the word "Innovation" comes in and that's why "netizens" - people of the computer/net world never stopped trying and inventing more ways to make this world a better place to browse in. They have come up with a lot of ideas - some were good, some were bad. Some were useful, some were useless and some were just some...but with the recent developments or discoveries in almost every aspect of the human race and of the computer world, these mind-boggling interrogatives are slowly getting what they are looking for - enter the picture, Opera.

The word "Opera" is fast becoming a household name. It could be like your pet or your bestfriend if you wanted to. After all, you could have it anywhere you go. With a single press of a button on your mobile phone, there you have it. The ever reliable Opera browser is not a phone call away. It's not even in Norway but just a touch away. Opera on the go (if I may say).

From the first release of which was called "MultiTorg Opera" in 1994 up to the latest "Opera 10", no one would be blind enough to notice of the so many features it has developed and produced. You must now be thinking that Opera in itself has undergone several "operations." You read that right. Remember the "Multi-Page" or "Tabbed Browsing" capability? Why not the "Proportional Scaling from 20%-1000%?" Or the Opera capability of "Saving Sessions." Yes, Opera can autosave sessions and automatically restore them when starting it the next time (even from a crash). What about the "BitTorrent" support running in Opera 9 (2006) and the "Speed Dial" feature in Opera 9.20 (2007) - a blank start page with a preview of preconfigured websites often visited? These are just a few of the so many things Opera can and has to offer. It is becoming the leader in browsing and software tech. Often imitated...just always imitated. "Technological Innovation in itself is Opera..."

Now, why do you think the world needs technology?

It's all in your hands and your Opera.
