Traffic camera

traffic-eye

Along the highways and especially on establishment areas the Traffic cameras are an important aspect of the transportation system in the United States. They are not the same thing as red light cameras, which are used to take pictures and video of motorists running red lights, sending the picture and ticket to the culprit. In fact, traffic cameras are used for a much different thing. Traffic cameras are used to monitor the flow of traffic, watch for accidents and other safety issues on the highway. These cameras are also helpful when it comes to figuring out which route motorists should take when heading to work, school, shopping, even special events and others.

The installations of Traffic cameras can be placed at intersections or anywhere else along a roadway that the local Department of Transportation seems fit. Cameras are usually mounted to a traffic light at an intersection or on their own pole anywhere else on the roadway. The cameras are most common on highways, freeways, motorways, auto routes and expressways. They are connected with optical fibers, which are buried either alongside the highway or underneath the highway.  More cameras on roads and highways the better we travels.

Small, Sensible Car

This is prefect to my wife for her driving comfort, the economic crunch and an urban setting that gives new horizon in many purchase cars.  A car that have a heart of Junior World Rally Champion and the ability to stow people and cargo in comfort.   The Suzuki Swift is the answers to my wife needs, and more.  The body shape is as captivating as its JWRC-homologated Swift Sport Brethren, with a mix of adjectives such as trendy, funky and retro aptly describing the outer shell.  Wow the front pillars hidden under wide wraparound bonded glass give it a relatively upright angle.  Pronounced front side haunches, a prominent grill, a flat roof, and a six spoke 15-inch rim and 185/60R15 tire combo give the car a more aggressive stance and extra beauty.

The Suzuki Swift is the rare small car that can combine performance and passenger comfort with none the compromises.  Boy this small car is really amazing.

Trucks journey at NLEX

Say no more to longer delay.  The operator of the two longest expressways traversing Central Luzon hailed the recent order of the Land Transportation Office (LTO) to subject once again trucks transporting agricultural products and other goods for possible violation of anti-overloading laws.

Recently the LTO chief Arturo C. Lomibao gave the order to all regional directors and deputized personnel lifting the November 2008 moratorium on apprehension of trucks overloaded with agricultural and other perishable cargoes.  The reason for temporary suspension, such as lowering food prices and ensuring the efficient flow of food supply nationwide, will be eliminated.

A Hi-tech device.  The WIM instantly to calculates the load of truck once the vehicle passes trough a dedicated lane which is equipped with a sensor, camera and computer.  That’s why the trucks will no longer suffer delay especially at NLEX because of newly installed device called weigh-in-motion (WIM), which check every truck while in motion.

Let me share to you  the process in deboning the Bangus Boneless, this is what I’ve learned in my journey in Dagupan City, the bangus capital in Pangasinan.

Bangus Deboning:

PREPARATION

1.  WASHING – wash fish upon arrival from the market, scale may or mayn’t be remove.

2.  SPLITTING – split fish on the dorsal side starting from the tail to the head by running the edge or the knife along the back bone.

3.  REMOVAL OF INTERNAL ORGANS – remove the internal organs, gills, blood and slime and wash thoroughly.

4.  REMOVE THE BACKBONE AND THE DORSAL BONE – remove the backbone by laying fish plat on the cutting board with the skin down, hold the knife in a horizontal / slanting position  and cut in with the tip of the blade along the backbone from the head to the tail, trim off the dorsal fin.

DEBONING PROPER

2.  DORSAL SPINES – make a superficial slit from head to tail along the dent of the dorsal muscle.  Pull out the embedded entramuscular spines one at a time.

3.  LATERAL ENTRAMUSCULAR SPINES – are located in between the dorsal and the ventral muscles.  Pullout first the large arch-shaped spines at the base of the operculum.  Proceed pulling out the y-shaped spines up to the mid portion of the body ending with 3 single delicate spines.
