Egyptians also mined turquoise in the Eastern Desert. Turquoise was one of the most popular gemstones in ancient Egypt, and its greenish tint was symbolic of joy and life.
driving under the influence (DUI) n. commonly called drunk driving, it refers to operating a motor vehicle while one's blood alcohol content is above the legal limit set by statute, which supposedly is the level at which a person cannot drive safely. State statutes vary as to what that level is, but it ranges from .08 to .10. Driving on private property such as a parking lot is no defense, but sitting in a non-moving vehicle without the ignition on probably is (sometimes resulting in a charge of drunk in and about a vehicle).
What is the Difference Between DUI, DWI and OVI? In Kentucky the offense is officially DUI under KRS 189A.010. DUI stands for Driving Under the Influence and a person can be convicted for DUI while under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs. Indiana law cites OWI (Operating While Intoxicated) wherein Ohio law the charge is OVI (Operating a Vehicle while Intoxicated). Generally DWI is shorthand for Driving While Intoxicated.
