Back when the automobile was young, many cars ran solely on electricity. At a time when you had to manually crank a gasoline engine to start it, battery-powered models offered the ease of simply pushing a button.
Cadillac’s introduction of an effective gasoline engine self-starter in 1912 changed all that. But today, concerns about fuel prices, oil reserves and the environment have automakers looking at a variety of vehicles that use electricity either alongside or instead of gasoline.
A few are already here: hybrid vehicles are common on our streets, and some Americans are now driving the Tesla all-electric roadster (expected to come to Canada later this year) and the Honda FCX Clarity Fuel Cell Vehicle, offered on lease in limited numbers in California. Scheduled to arrive in the near future are the all-electric Nissan Leaf and the Chevrolet Volt extended-range sedan, while Ford, Volvo, Mitsubishi, Toyota and others all have alternative vehicles in test projects.
In many cases, the holdup isn’t the vehicle itself, but the battery. Energy storage technology hasn’t kept pace, and a major hurdle has been in developing a battery that’s lighter-weight, longer-range, and not prohibitively expensive.
As with all vehicles, there isn’t a single “one size fits all,” and if you’re considering an alternative-fuel model, you need to know how they work, and also understand their limitations.

The hybrid models available today – cars like the Toyota Prius, Honda Insight, and hybrid versions of the Ford Fusion, Nissan Altima, Chevrolet Silverado and others – don’t get plugged in. Instead, they capture energy from the gasoline engine and regenerative braking system to charge the battery. Depending on driving conditions, they run on gasoline, electricity, or a combination of the two.
Plug-in electric hybrids (PHEVs) are coming, but they’re not here yet. These can be plugged into a wall outlet to charge the battery, dramatically reducing the amount of gasoline needed. If you can’t recharge it right away, not to worry: once the charge depletes, the car works like a regular self-charging hybrid. Battery-electric vehicles (BEVs), such as the Nissan Leaf, run only on electricity and produce no tailpipe emissions (naturally, they don’t even have tailpipes). They’re primarily for urban drivers whose daily commute doesn’t take them further than the battery’s range before recharging.
Nissan is already on board with Vancouver, and has undertaken a partnership with the city, the province and BC Hydro to launch the Leaf in 2011, ahead of other provinces and in advance of the car’s 2012 global roll-out. The venture will also explore the establishment of a charging infrastructure in Vancouver.

Extended-range vehicles, such as the Volt, get plugged in and then run emission-free on electricity alone. When the battery runs down, a small gasoline engine starts up. Instead of powering the wheels, it acts like a generator to supply electricity to the car’s electric motor, so the driver isn’t stranded. Fuel cell vehicles, such as Honda’s FCX Clarity, also run on electricity, produced on-board by the fuel cell from hydrogen. Their only tailpipe emission is water vapour, but their obvious drawback is that few drivers have a hydrogen refilling station nearby. British Columbia has a project underway to build a “Hydrogen Highway” from Vancouver to Whistler, and Honda’s prototype solar-powered station might one day produce hydrogen at drivers’ homes, but widespread adoption of these vehicles will be strictly limited by refuelling facilities. BMW has also built several dual-fuel demonstration cars that run on both gasoline and hydrogen, but unlike fuel cell vehicles, these burn hydrogen in a conventional engine. They drive like regular cars, but in hydrogen mode, they emit only water vapour.
While all these have environmental benefits, and some are scheduled for sale within the next few years, they’re still expected to remain niche vehicles for some time to come. Above all, price will be a major issue. The best you’ll get right now is estimates: no automaker has announced how much any of these upcoming vehicles will cost, but expect them to be pricy, at least initially.

“All automakers realize that they need to have an environmental position in the marketplace, and the best way to do that is to have these types of vehicles on offer,” says Ryan Robinson, automotive industry practice leader for J.D. Power & Associates in Canada. “I’m not sure that consumers are going to be rushing headlong into electric cars anytime soon.”
Even though hybrid vehicles have been available here for a decade, they only account for a small percentage of vehicle sales; J.D. Power’s sales data for the last two years indicates a high of only 1.8 per cent of the Canadian market.
Early adopters of electric vehicles will undoubtedly be environmentally conscious, but in many cases, a desire to lessen one’s carbon footprint must be carefully measured against the realities of infrastructure. While projects for charging and refuelling are underway in locations across the continent, those buying PHEVs or battery vehicles will need to be able to easily recharge them – meaning that, at least initially, their most likely audience will live in single-family homes.
“For fully electric vehicles, (J.D. Power’s) forecast is very, very minor in the foreseeable future,” Robinson says. “These are halo cars. If a company positions itself as having an environmental vehicle in the fleet, it starts to position itself in the mind of the Canadian consumer in regards to environmental sustainability.
“Whether it’s a PHEV, or extended range vehicle, or even a diesel or biodiesel vehicle, it’s a competitive battlefield out there right now, and I think it’s a mistake to think there is one clear winner going forward. My bet is a combination of these alternative fuels and environmental systems that wins the day in the end.”

It’s no secret that pets provide many benefits to their owners, from companionship to cleanup duty. But what about the animal products that pets consume?
Almost everything we eat comes from an animal, be it chicken, beef, pork or lamb. And while not all of those animals are raised in humane conditions, the vast majority of them are slaughtered in a way that causes immense pain and suffering. Why should you make your pet a vegan instead?
Animal Cruelty Continues to Rise
Animal cruelty continues to rise, and there are several reasons why you should consider making your cat or dog a vegan.
One of the most important reasons is that animal cruelty is illegal in many jurisdictions. In many cases, animal cruelty is considered a felony offense. This means that those who commit acts of animal cruelty can face serious penalties, including prison time.
Another reason to make your cat or dog a vegan is the health benefits. Many people believe that animals raised on farms are unhealthy. They claim that factory farming causes cholesterol problems, heart disease, diabetes, and other serious health conditions in humans.
The health benefits of going vegan for your cat or dog are even greater than these claims suggest. A study published in The Journal Of Nutrition found that cats who were fed a vegan diet had lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels than cats who were fed a diet containing meat.
In addition, both dogs and cats who were fed a vegan diet had lower levels of fat in their blood than dogs and cats who were fed a diet containing meat.
There are many good reasons to make your cat or dog a vegan. If you are considering doing so, please be sure to talk to your veterinarian about the best way to transition your
A Vegan Lifestyle is Good For Your Health
One of the benefits of a vegan lifestyle is that it is good for your health. A vegan diet is low in saturated fat and cholesterol, which are both linked to heart disease. It also has lower levels of cholesterol than a typical diet, which means it can help to prevent heart problems.
Vegan diets are also high in fiber and vitamin B12, which can help to keep your digestive system working properly. Fiber helps to regulate blood sugar levels and keep you feeling fuller for longer, while vitamin B12 can help to prevent anemia.
A vegan lifestyle is also environmentally friendly. By avoiding meat products, you are helping to reduce the amount of land that is used to produce food. And by consuming plant-based foods rather than animal-based foods, you are reducing the amount of greenhouse gases that are released into the atmosphere.
Pets Get Enough Protein and Calcium on a Vegan Diet
One of the benefits of a vegan diet for pets is that they get enough protein and calcium.
Pets need protein to build and repair tissue, and they need calcium to keep their bones strong. A vegan diet provides both of these needs in adequate amounts.
Some plants, such as soy products, are high in protein. However, most plant-based proteins are also high in fiber which can cause digestive problems in some pets. To avoid this, make sure to provide your pet with a vegan diet that is supplemented with a high-quality meat-based protein source.
Another benefit of a vegan diet for pets is that it is environmentally friendly. Many factory farming operations use tons of water to produce animals for food.
This water can be used to produce food for humans instead, which reduces the amount of water that is wasted. Feeding your pet a vegan diet also helps reduce the number of animals who are killed each year for food.
You’ll Save Money on Vet Bills
One of the most important reasons to make your cat or dog a vegan is that you’ll save money on vet bills.
A vegan diet is packed with nutrients that are good for cats and dogs. This means that your cat or dog will have fewer health problems, and they’ll require fewer vet visits. In addition, a vegan diet is environmentally friendly because it doesn’t use any animal products. This means that you’re helping to protect the environment as well as your pet’s health.
So why not make the switch to a vegan diet for your cat or dog? It’s definitely worth it!
You’ll Help Animals in Need
One of the reasons you should consider making your cat or dog a vegan is that it will help animals in need.
All animals, including cats and dogs, are created equal. They all have the same right to life, which includes the right to be free from pain and suffering.
By giving your cat or dog a vegan diet, you’re helping to end their suffering. You’re also reducing the number of animals that are killed in factory farms. Factory farming is cruel and inhumane, and it’s something that we can all do something about.
If you’re already a vegan, making your pet a vegan is a great way to continue helping animals in need. If you haven’t made the switch yet, there’s no better time than now.
You’ll Have More Fun When You’re With Your Pet
One of the benefits of being a vegan is that you’ll have more fun when you’re with your pet. While some people may think that cats and dogs are simply animals, there’s a lot more to them than that.
For example, cats are incredibly intelligent creatures. They can learn new tricks quickly and can be very affectionate. In addition, cats are natural hunters and can bring down prey much larger than themselves. Dogs, on the other hand, are beloved by many for their loyalty and sense of humor. They’re also very versatile – they can serve as protection animals or companionship animals.
Ultimately, it’s up to you which animal you choose to call your own. But whichever one you choose, you’ll be glad you made the switch to a vegan lifestyle.
There are many reasons why you should consider making your cat or dog a vegan, and we’ve outlined nine of the most important here. Not only are vegan diets better for the animals themselves, but they can also improve your pet’s health in a variety of ways.
If you’re on the fence about whether or not to make the switch to a vegan lifestyle for your furry friend, read through this list and see if there are any reasons that convince you to take the plunge. Thank you for reading!

Sustainable country house, Cheshire
A new country house in Cheshire designed in the English Palladian tradition, combining classical principles with sustainable materials and technology. The house is simply articulated, its main elevations divided into three pavilions with a strong central section. An inventive version of the Corinthian order is used, the capitals suggesting a basket with acanthus leaves topped by a square tile, based on its legendary origins as described by Vitruvius. The innovative secondary and minor orders, use submerged columns derived from precedents by Sir Edwin Lutyens. The design was created in close consultation with the landscape architect, with parkland and formal gardens set around the house. This is one of the few houses to obtain planning permission under Government Planning Policy, PPS7.

Hot stuff from Britain's best South-Asian chefs
Traditionally from India, Bangladesh and their neighbouring countries, curry is now so popular in Britain it's become our national dish! There are thousands of curry restaurants in the UK - here are just a few of our favourites.
This West London restaurant really lives up to its name. The family-run Brilliant even has Royal approval – Princess Diana has dined here, as have Prince Charles, numerous Prime Ministers and Bollywood film stars. The 200-seater restaurant serves great Punjabi food with a Kenyan touch, and it’s also the first restaurant in the UK to get a licence to hold civil marriages.
Started over 30 years ago in this historic part of London, Tayyabs is a dining experience not to be missed. Serving traditional Pakistani Punjabi food at great prices, the family-run restaurant is one of the best in London . There’s a great bustling atmosphere, making Tayyabs perfect for a celebration or family dinner. Queues go around the block so be sure to book.
If you’re really in the mood for a curry, Bradford is definitely the place to be. Nawaab is an absolute must-see on Britain’s curry trail, and one of the most talked-about restaurants in the city. The huge range of dishes caters for all tastes, but the chef’s specialities are a must for all curry lovers.
The first thing that comes to mind when you say the words ‘curry’ and ‘ Manchester ’ is the famous Curry Mile in Rusholme. But Moon isn’t on the Mile, making it one of Manchester’s best-kept food secrets. The dishes are fresh, fragrant and perfectly spicy.

James Wan brought us The Conjuring Universe, Saw, and Insidious, and he’s apparently not through haunting our nightmares. His new horror thriller, Malignant, has been rescheduled for release. The film was originally scheduled for release on August 14, 2020. Postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Malignant is now set for release on September 10, 2021. Warner Bros/New Line will release the film to theaters The film will stream simultaneously on HBO Max, where it will be available for one month.
Wan brought horror fans The Conjuring Universe and is also the co-creator of both the Saw and Insidious franchises. Malignant marks Wan’s return to horror after having more mainstream hits like Furious 7 and Aquaman. After serving as creator and co-creator of multiple horror franchises, with The Conjuring Universe credited with being one of the highest-grossing franchises of all time, Wan’s Malignant is a highly-anticipated film for the horror genre this year. Described as a Giallo-style horror thriller, there’s no information available on the film’s plot. Wan is keeping the plot under lock and key. All Wan was willing to say about the film was that, unlike its predecessor Aquaman, Malignant is not set in any comic book verse. Besides being a screenwriter, director, and producer, Wan is also a comic book writer. Wan clarified back in October 2019 that the film is not based on his graphic novel, Malignant Man. “It’s definitely not a superhero film. Malignant is an original thriller not based off any existing IP.”
Wan posted the following recently on Instagram: “I’m super excited for this film. I don’t even know how to describe it. I wanted to do something original and genre-bending, and different from my other work, but still in the spirit of the horror-thrillers I grew up with. More to come.”
Needless to say, Malignant is rated R for “strong horror violence, gruesome images, and for language.”
Akela Cooper and JT Perry wrote the screenplay, which is based on an original story by Wan and Ingrid Bisu. Cooper served as a producer and contributing writer on many TV shows such as Luke Cage, The Witches of East End, The 100, and American Horror Story.
The film stars Annabelle Wallis, who starred in Annabelle. Wan served as co-producer on Annabelle, which is about the infamous cursed doll that was involved in a supposedly true case of paranormal activity investigated by demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren. The Warrens’ cases serve as the basis for The Conjuring Universe. The cast includes another cast member from the Annabelle series, McKenna Grace, who played the lead in Annabelle Comes Home. George Young fills the role of the male lead opposite Wallis. Young’s credits include the CW show Containment. Rounding out the cast are Jake Abel (Supernatural), Maddie Hasson (Mr. Mercedes), TV veteran Michole Briana White, and Jacqueline McKenzie (The 4400).
For fans of Wan’s previous contributions to the horror genre, Malignant sounds like something to look forward to this year. It seems as if Wan’s love for horror made him want to return to offer a film that is reminiscent of a classic subgenre with a fresh twist.

The Meteoric Rise To Stardom
Bleu Landau was a child model for a couple of years before appearing on TV. He rose to fame after being cast in the BBC series ‘EastEnders’ in 2015. He got the role of Denny Rickman replacing Harry Hickles, who had been playing the role since 2012. He first appeared on the TV series was on 17 September 2015. His popularity grew manifold after being cast in the movie ‘King Arthur: Legend of the Sword.’
What Makes Bleu Landau So Special
It caused a state of frenzy among fans when Bleu Landau was cast as Denny Rickman in the BBC soap ‘EastEnders’, replacing Harry Hickles. Bleu's performance in the show immediately won the hearts of the long time fans of the series, who reacted to his portrayal of the character positively. Some fans of the show had been unhappy with the previous cast, saying that he didn't seem to enjoy his role well enough and some thought he was too posh to portray a convincing working class Londoner. Thus most fans welcomed the change in the cast, and were very satisfied with Bleu's portrayal of the character of Denny. They even pointed out that Bleu had more similarities in appearances to the actor who played his father in the show.
The character of Denny was featured marginally in the show in the few months before Bleu was cast to play the character. The recast made fans hopeful that the new child actor will get more screen time following his addition to the cast. However, some fans showed concern over Bleu's future in the show as the producers of the show are known to have recast a number of child actors in the past years since the inception of the show. Some even opined that it must be difficult to be a child actor on the show, given the huge number of actors who had been replaced. Fans were also curious as to why Harry Hickles had to leave the show, as there was not any official information available regarding that. In any case, it makes his fans happy that Bleu has been playing the character of Denny successfully for over a year now.
Behind The Curtains
Bleu Landau was born on November 16, 2005 in Bexley, Kent, England. His birth name is Bleu Louie Landau. He has a brother, named Beau John Landau, who is four years older to him.

The oldest patent for an electric bike I've been able to find at the US Patent and Trademark Office is this one, by Ogden Bolton, Jr. of Canton Ohio, which was filed in September 1895 and granted three months later. You can see from these original diagrams that it bears an amazingly close resemblance to modern electric bikes. In the general picture on the left, you can see there's a hub motor on the rear wheel (blue), a battery suspended from the frame (red), and a simple handlebar control to make the thing stop and go. In the more detailed cutaway of the hub motor on the right, you can see there's a six-pole magnet in the center (orange) bolted to the frame and an armature (made from coiled wire, yellow) that rotates around it when the current is switched on. It's quite a hefty motor even by modern standards; Ogdon mentions "a heavy current at low voltage—for instance, to carry one hundred amperes at ten volts." So that's 1000 watts, which is about twice the power of a typical modern bike hub motor.
Earlier UK regulations required that the motor has an average power output limited to 200 W (250 W for tricycles and tandems) and weight limited to 40 kg (60 kg for tricycles and tandems). These regulations must come in-line with the EU regulations by (find deadline). For models sold before June 2003, e-bikes conforming to the speed, weight and power limits may also be considered pedal cycles. Electric bikes with higher power outputs, or those not meeting the "pedelec" definition are now treated as motorcycles and require a license.
Available products (motors, senors, batteries, control systems. etc.) change fast since the e-bike market shows a strong growth. In principle, get a rear motor if you want a lot of raw power and acceleration (e.g. for a 500W motor). Middle motors are more energy efficient and less subject to problems (e.g. overheating). Middle motors usually are combined with integrated rear hub gears, and rear motors with derailleurs. Both have advantages and disadvantages. E.g. the former require less maintenance, are easy to use in go-and-stop traffic, but require taking off weight on pedals when shifting. Therefore the latter (derailleurs) are better for speedy overland and hills cycling.
Maintenance of adequate tire inflation is the most frequent and troublesome concern for cyclists and many means and methods are employed to preserve pneumatic integrity. Thicker tires, thicker tubes, tire liners (of a number of rather impenetrable devices installed between the tire and tube), liquid sealing compounds squeezed into the tube, and automotive-style patch kits are all used to reliably contain the typical tire pressures of 40 to 60 pounds per square inch that are required for bicycle operation. Thin, light bicycle tires are particularly vulnerable to penetration and subsequent deflation caused by goat's heads and other burs, colloquially known as stickers. Inflation of bicycle tires to pressures higher than typical for automotive use requires special pumps. The complexity of bicycle tire maintenance and repair may cause many to not consider the bicycle for transport or leisure.
"Bicycles" and "Electric Bicycles" are legally defined in the Texas Transportation Code Chapter 551., titled "Operation of Bicycles, Mopeds, and Play Vehicles" in Subchapter A, B, C, and D. The following definition of electric bicycle was passed by the Texas legislature in 2001. "Electric bicycle" means a bicycle that is designed to be propelled by an electric motor, exclusively or in combination with the application of human power, cannot attain a speed of more than 20 miles per hour without the application of human power; and does not exceed a weight of 100 pounds. The department or a local authority may not prohibit the use of an electric bicycle on a highway that is used primarily by motor vehicles. The department or a local authority may prohibit the use of an electric bicycle on a highway used primarily by pedestrians.
In the Netherlands all train stations offer free bicycle parking, or a more secure parking place for a small fee, with the larger stations also offering bicycle repair shops. Cycling is so popular that the parking capacity may be exceeded, while in some places such as Delft the capacity is usually exceeded. In Trondheim in Norway, the Trampe bicycle lift has been developed to encourage cyclists by giving assistance on a steep hill. Buses in many cities have bicycle carriers mounted on the front.
The federal law will not prohibit a motor vehicle label and additional restrictions given by the state. States will typically define e-mopeds in the 1000W range (1.5 hp) and speeds attainable to 30mph, and include a few requirements such as a helmet, eye protection, and a driver’s license. States may also require title, registration, and insurance for mopeds.
This is list of the best performing, best value electric bikes for 2018 / 2019. For each category I list two models, the first recommendation is based on performance and the second is based on affordability. As you explore the list and get to know EBR, check out the ebike community forum for more personalized feedback. Share your height, weight, budget and intended use (along with bikes you like) to get advice from actual owners and moderators.
More powerful pedelecs which are not legally classed as bicycles are dubbed S-Pedelecs (short for Schnell-Pedelecs, i.e. Speedy-Pedelecs) in Germany. These have a motor more powerful than 250 watts and less limited, or unlimited, pedal-assist, i.e. the motor does not stop assisting the rider once 25 km/h has been reached. S-Pedelec class e-bikes are therefore usually classified as mopeds or motorcycles rather than as bicycles and therefore may (depending on the jurisdiction) need to be registered and insured, the rider may need some sort of driver's license (either car or motorcycle) and motorcycle helmets may have to be worn. In the United States, many states have adopted S-Pedelecs into the Class 3 category. Class 3 ebikes are limited to <=750 watts of power and 28 mph.
The word bicycle first appeared in English print in The Daily News in 1868, to describe "Bysicles and trysicles" on the "Champs Elysées and Bois de Boulogne". The word was first used in 1847 in a French publication to describe an unidentified two-wheeled vehicle, possibly a carriage. The design of the bicycle was an advance on the velocipede, although the words were used with some degree of overlap for a time.
European Union directive 2002/24/EC exempts vehicles with the following definition from type approval: "Cycles with pedal assistance which are equipped with an auxiliary electric motor having a maximum continuous rated power of 0.25 kW, of which the output is progressively reduced and finally cut off as the vehicle reaches a speed of 25km/h (15.5mph) or if the cyclist stops pedaling." This is the de facto definition of an electrically assisted pedal cycle in the EU. As with all EU directives, individual member countries of the EU are left to implement the requirements in national legislation.
The environmental effects involved in recharging the batteries can of course be reduced. The small size of the battery pack on an e-bike, relative to the larger pack used in an electric car, makes them very good candidates for charging via solar power or other renewable energy resources. Sanyo capitalized on this benefit when it set up "solar parking lots", in which e-bike riders can charge their vehicles while parked under photovoltaic panels.
The newest entrant in this lower price category is Wing Bikes, a New York City-based company that launched in 2018. Wing wants to be the affordable e-bike for city residents who are sick of shady ride-hailing services and stalled subways. And if you don’t live in a city, that’s fine too: Wing’s e-bikes could be a realistic alternative to owning a car.
Arkansas does not define E-bikes. The following definition describes a combustion engine. E-bikes being electric do not have a cylinder capacity and thus this law is not technically applicable. The state defines a "Motorized bicycle" as "a bicycle with an automatic transmission and a motor of less than 50cc." Riders require either a certificate to operate a motorized bicycle, a motorcycle license, a motor-driven cycle license, or a license of class A, B, C or D. Certificates cannot be issued to riders under 10 years of age.
Different gears and ranges of gears are appropriate for different people and styles of cycling. Multi-speed bicycles allow gear selection to suit the circumstances: a cyclist could use a high gear when cycling downhill, a medium gear when cycling on a flat road, and a low gear when cycling uphill. In a lower gear every turn of the pedals leads to fewer rotations of the rear wheel. This allows the energy required to move the same distance to be distributed over more pedal turns, reducing fatigue when riding uphill, with a heavy load, or against strong winds. A higher gear allows a cyclist to make fewer pedal turns to maintain a given speed, but with more effort per turn of the pedals.
If you're more concerned with conquering the countryside than the commute, Cyclotricity's Stealth is the one for you. It's a full-size mountain bike, with aggressive tyres and suspension on the front forks to absorb the rocks and bumps on the trails. It's comfortable to ride, and its motor can either give you assistance while you ride, or you can just hit the throttle to rocket over hills with no effort on your part.
Both land management regulators and mountain bike trail access advocates have argued for bans of electric bicycles on outdoor trails that are accessible to mountain bikes, citing potential safety hazards as well as the potential for electric bikes to damage trails. A study conducted by the International Mountain Bicycling Association, however, found that the physical impacts of low-powered pedal-assist electric mountain bikes may be similar to traditional mountain bikes.
In addition the specific wording of the law may or may not prohibit the use of a "mid-drive" or "crank-drive" motor set-up where the motor drives the rear wheel of the bicycle through the existing chain drive of a bicycle that has multiple gears depending on several points of interpretation of the law. Specifically the interpretation of the wording, "does not require clutching or shifting by the operator after the drive system is engaged". A "mid-drive" or "crank-drive" motor set-up on an electric bicycle does indeed allow the operator to change gears in the power drive system between the motor and the rear wheel of the bicycle. Whether or not such a mechanism which allows the operator to change gears satisfies the wording that requires the operator to change gears is a matter of legal interpretation by the courts. Just as "shall issue" and "may issue" (as in laws governing the issuing licenses) in application of the law have two different meanings (in the first case if you meet the requirements they have to give you the license and in the second they don't have to if they decide not to even if you meet the requirements for the license) whether or not "does not require shifting" outlaws electric bicycles where shifting is possible but is not necessarily required is a matter of interpretation. Thus the legality of electric bicycles equipped with a "mid-drive" or "crank-drive" motor set-up in the U.S. state of Montana is not clearly defined.

Electric Bicycles are defined by the California Vehicle Code . In summary, electric bicycles are to be operated like conventional bicycles in California. There are several exceptions to this. A person must be at least 16 years old, and anyone riding an electric bicycle must wear a bicycle helmet. The e-bikes must have an electric motor that has a power output less than 1,000 watts, is incapable of propelling the device at a speed of more than 20 miles per hour on level ground, is incapable of further increasing the speed of the device when human power is used to propel the motorized bicycle faster than 20 miles per hour, operates in a manner so that the electric motor is disengaged or ceases to function when the brakes are applied, or operates in a manner such that the motor is engaged through a switch or mechanism that, when released, will cause the electric motor to disengage or cease to function.
Photo: Left: The hub motor of an electric bike. Right: If you took off the casing, this is the kind of thing you'd see. It's a simple brushless motor from a PC cooling fan, but it works in broadly the same way as a bike's hub motor. There's a static part made up of four electromagnet coils (left) and a rotating part (right) made from a permanent magnet (the gray ring) that clips onto it. When the coils are energized in sequence, they generate a magnetic field that makes the permanent magnet and fan spin around. At a glance, a hub motor looks much like an ordinary bicycle hub, but look closer and you'll find it's a lot more bulky.
The two most common types of hub motors used in electric bicycles are brushed and brushless. Many configurations are available, varying in cost and complexity; direct-drive and geared motor units are both used. An electric power-assist system may be added to almost any pedal cycle using chain drive, belt drive, hub motors or friction drive. BLDC hub motors are a common modern design. The motor is built into the wheel hub itself, and the stator fixed solidly to the axle, and the magnets attached to and rotating with the wheel. The bicycle wheel hub is the motor. The power levels of motors used are influenced by available legal categories and are often, but not always limited to under 750 watts.
The electric bike revolution is spreading across the continent, 2017 data clearly underlines that eBikes are the preferred mode of mobility. 720,000 eBikes were sold in Germany, and KTM are one of the largest producers in their native country. As the market prospers, more and more manufacturers are jumping on the bandwagon than ever. KTM … Continue reading Best KTM eBikes 2018 – The Fully Charged Picks
In the 1890s, electric bicycles were documented within various U.S. patents. For example, on 31 December 1895 Ogden Bolton Jr. was granted Template:US Patent for a battery-powered bicycle with “6-pole brush-and-commutator direct current (DC) hub motor mounted in the rear wheel.” There were no gears and the motor could draw up to 100 amperes (A) from a 10-V battery.
"Bicycle" means either of the following: (1) A device having two wheels and having at least one saddle or seat for the use of a rider which is propelled by human power. (2) A device having two or three wheels with fully operable pedals and an electric motor of less than 750 watts (one horsepower), whose maximum speed on a paved level surface, when powered solely by such a motor while ridden, is less than 20 miles per hour.,
Indian law requires that all electric vehicles have ARAI approval. Vehicles with below 250W and speed less than 30 km/h, do not require certification- hence not following full testing process, but needs to get exemption report from ARAI. Whereas more powerful vehicles need to go through a full testing process following CMVR rules. This can take time and cost money but assures safe and reliable design for Electric Vehicles. These regulations are not promulgated by the Regional Transport offices, and riders are not required to obtain a licence to drive, to carry insurance, or to wear a helmet.
A lot has happened since we founded the very first eMTB specific magazine in 2013. In the beginning, manufacturers simply mounted electric motors on regular mountain bikes, more or more often than not, rather less successfully. Last year a lot of brands focused on the topic of battery integration. There are some exciting new trends and developments headed our way next season, which we take a closer look at below.
The federal Consumer Product Safety Act defines a "low speed electric bicycle" as a two or three wheeled vehicle with fully operable pedals, a top speed when powered solely by the motor under 20 mph (32 km/h) and an electric motor that produces less than 750 W (1.01 hp). The Act authorizes the Consumer Product Safety Commission to protect people who ride low-speed electric vehicles by issuing necessary safety regulations. The rules for e-bikes on public roads, sidewalks, and pathways are under state jurisdiction, and vary.

Who should be in the bridal shower? It may not seem important at first, but when you’re already planning the party, who you will send the invitations to will be a pretty big deal. A bridal shower needs a solid guest list to be fun for everyone. Why would you invite, for example, a friend who the bride is annoyed at? At the same time, should you not invite someone many of the people on the guest list don’t like but is important to the bride?
A bachelorette party should be comprised of the bridal party, close family members, and close friends. But while those are the cardinal rules, they don’t always apply to all situations. Sometimes, you might find yourself in a predicament about inviting a person or not. What rules apply to what situations? How are you going to decide on who should be in the party without texting or calling the bride every time you find yourself in a bind?
Think of the Location and Theme
Are you planning a party for the whole weekend? What kind of party are you going to have? Will you have male dancers there? The theme of the party should already give you an idea of who and who not to invite. Of course, you shouldn’t invite the bride’s mother, aunts, and grandmothers to a party that involves male strippers. If the party will be for the whole weekend, ask those who have kids first if they can leave the kids to their partners.
If you agreed to hire a hens party boat, it might be hard for the bride’s senior relatives to attend the party. Those who are afraid of the open water shouldn’t be invited, too, because they will not enjoy it. So, although you may want to invite everyone the bride wants, it is not always possible because of the theme and location of the party.
Don’t Invite Anyone Not Invited to the Actual Wedding
This might seem like common sense, but plenty of maid-of-honours and even brides have done glaring mistakes on this rule. You cannot invite anyone who is not invited to the wedding. It is inappropriate not only because it is awkward for the invitee but also because it will seem like the bride is pandering for gifts. The only exception to this rule is the bride’s office mates want to attend to send her off.
Have Multiple Bridal Showers
It’s okay to have several bridal showers—one with your closest friends, one with your relatives, one with your workmates, and so on. Don’t feel bad if you cannot invite everyone to the same party. They will also not enjoy it if they don’t know anyone at the party. Besides, you can give them more attention when you hold different parties for specific groups of people. Even you will enjoy your party better if you give your guests equal attention.
Keep the Party Intimate
A bridal shower is a gathering of your dearest and closest friends. Don’t feel obliged to invite everyone you know—even your best friend’s sister who you haven’t talked with for a long time. Friends should understand that it is the bride’s prerogative who to invite and not. If you organise the bachelorette party in secret, then put yourself in the bride’s shoes. Who do you want to be there? Pick her brain, too, by dropping subtle hints so that you know how to filter out her closest friends.
Work with the Groom
Aside from the maid-of-honour, the person who knows the bride better than anyone else is the groom. He’s the one that the bride confides in about friends and families. While he doesn’t necessarily need to have a say on who gets invited or not, you can ask for his opinions about certain people. And since he wants the bride to have the best time, he’ll surely be honest about who she wants to see at her party.
It is not easy to organise a party where some people feel bad about not being invited. As much as you want to keep the party intimate, it always seems impossible because people are too interconnected. But at the end of the day, what matters is what the bride wants. That’s what should happen. So, if she’s okay not inviting a few relatives and friends, then those who are organising her bachelorette party shouldn’t feel the need, too. It’s all about putting the bride’s wants and needs front and centre of the party.

(EU) EU/ASYLUM: COUNCIL ADOPTS EURODAC REGULATION
Brussels, 04/01/2001 (Agence Europe)
Through the written procedure, in December, the EU Council adopted the Eurodac regulation on the comparison of fingerprints of asylum-seekers and certain other foreigners, regulation that aims to improve the functioning of the Dublin Convention, which took effect in Septembers 1997, on determining which Member State is responsible for examining a request for asylum.
Eurodac will be a centralised database placed at the Commission's disposal and to which EU Member States will communicate the fingerprints of the people concerned, to see whether they have already submitted a request for asylum in another Member State. The regulation provides, in particular, for fingerprints only being taken when it concerns someone of at least 14 years of age (you may recall that the European Parliament had a very raucous debate on this subject, and that in plenary a majority rejected amendments aimed at raising this minimum age) and makes a distinction between asylum-seekers and "certain other foreigners", i.e. those illegally on the territory of an EU Member State or caught while illegally crossing an external border. The fingerprints of asylum-seekers will usually be conserved at the central unit for ten years, whereas data may be erased as soon as a foreigner has secured the citizenship of a Member State. The regulation also comprises provisions on the use, security and protection of data.
This regulation will also apply to the United Kingdom and Ireland, which - on the basis of their protocols annexed to the Amsterdam Treaty - notified that they wanted to participate in its adoption and implementation. Denmark, which, in virtue of the protocol annexed to the Treaty concerning it, is not participating in the adoption or implementation of the regulation, has, however, let it be known that it would like to take part in the Eurodac system: a specific arrangement will therefore have to be set up.

Structure fire reported on Washington Avenue, Batavia
A structure fire is reported at 101 Washington Ave., Batavia.
The building has been evacuated.
City Fire dispatched.
UPDATED 1:58 p.m.: The building houses the dentistry practice of Dr. Vladimir Frias, and he was at the scene during the fire rescue. The site was formerly Present Tense book store, which had been there for eight years, and Frias moved in and renovated it for his dental services nearly seven years ago.
"When I came into the office, I saw the smoke and called 911. There was smoke and there was fire, and I called 911 right away, and then they were here. I came in from the back, the fire seemed like it came in from the middle ... this is terrible," he said. "I love this building too, it's a historic landmark. It's not just a building to us."

Rick Mercer goes clam digging on P.E.I.
The CBC comedian went on a clam-digging excursion to find out where one of his favourite foods comes from
Rick Mercer says he usually hunts for clams by opening the menu, pointing to the word "clams," and placing an order.
But the CBC comedian didn't really know much about clams "other than the fact they are delicious." Until, that is, he went on a recent clam-digging expedition in Georgetown, P.E.I.
The segment was featured on the Oct. 13, 2015, episode of the Rick Mercer Report on CBC Television.
Perry Gotell with Tranquility Cove Adventures took Mercer to Boughton Island off Georgetown, where they donned wetsuits, grabbed clamming rakes and, of course, hilarity ensued.
When they finally caught enough giant bar clams to classify as lunch, Gotell's crew built a bonfire on the beach, where they proceeded to cook.
"I didn't know it was going to be a cooking show," Mercer quipped as they put him to work tending the bubbling pot. "But it's, like, the best cooking show ever."
Mercer noted that the work is "physically exhausting" and learned that even though the methods are primitive, a fisherman harvesting giant bar clams usually digs a tonne or more of clams per day.

The cold weather is putting a damper on the outside work of preparing our farm for the upcoming agritourism. But never fear, we will not stop working, we will just take our endeavors inside until the cold weather passes.
Signs, signs and more signs need to be finished before they can be installed around the farm. We have to make things as simple as directional signs, and we have to make signs that give guidelines for barnyard behavior. We also have to make specific liability signs, because the state has certain requirements down to the correct wording and lettering size that must be met for the farm to be protected according to state law.
We are also making small information kiosks to display at many exhibits that tell the associated history, and other education information of each exhibit. These must be typed up, printed and then enclosed in solid protection with a frame so that they can be put on a post framework later.
We are fulfilling all these signs in various ways. Many we are hand designing and painting, some we have designed and ordered as banner type signs. The required liability signs we are having made by a local Oklahoma company, An Okie By Design, they are designing these specially to match the look of our farm as well as state laws.
All in all, just a lot of work still being done to have Dark Water Ranch ready to open for agritourism this Spring. Make your plans to visit with us in 2021and enjoy Oklahoma Farm Fun!

Almost immediately after pressing play, just moments after the noise started, I started reminiscing about a guilty pleasure of mine from a while ago. I am a little embarrassed, but I’ll share anyway. Once upon a time, the radio played lots of songs by this musician born in Indiana (Indiana is a state, a perfectly fine state). At first, he went by the name John Bobcat, Johnny Booger, or something like that. He did one of those self-referential songs where, by mentioning both the name of the genre and his home country, automatically got a lot of attention. The song, “R.O.C.K in the USA”, was actually a pretty good song, even as it both pandered and appealed to teeny boppers everywhere (two points against it for my then-snobbery). It was good, no discussion required! Now, imagine that song, at a faster pace, done in the garage, but with a sneer. Now, you’ve got half of the sound of Bad Sports, a Denton Texas based band that is, well, a band. Are they awesome? On their latest album Bras, sometimes, definitely, but sometimes not.
As is often the case, I oversimplified their sound. The band is basically a garage rock that, if they added a little blues and dropped the sneer, would sound a little like excellent bar rock. Isn’t bar rock, just garage rock with more smoke and a person hired to pour the booze? But I digress. Bad Sports’ sound seems a little like two bands for the price of one. On the one hand, they’re a fast-paced high-energy garage rock band. On the other hand, they’re a mid-to-slow paced version of your semi-musical uncle doing his punk imitation of Bob Seger. Can you tell which version I prefer? Honestly, though, I’ve seen reviews that completely approve of the slower version, so don’t give my opinion too much credit … except I think I’m right.
There are other influences, some that I can identify, some that I can’t. I hear a little bit of Television’s Marquee Moon, but with less poetry. Maybe a little like X after they first slowed their songs down. In short, it’s a real attempt at art and energy, but without working too hard at sounding polished or shiny. The closest overlap I heard comes in “Race to the Bottom” which reminds me a lot of Tom Petty’s “Refugee” … or at least how I first remember that song sounding. In attitude, the high energy bits are like original Stooges-era Iggy Pop, but more like Iggy’s slightly more contemplative younger brother.
Comparisons aside, it’s just a simple fast-paced guitar chord riff band … when it works. When the guitars slow down, boredom increases. I’m convinced that a fast pace makes almost anything sound fun! The problem comes when the guitar starts to arpeggiate*, even if the arpeggio is short. At that point, the band sounds like they’re trying to hard to be soulful or meaningful. Non-arpeggiated runs works just fine, however, in all songs, fast or slow.
So let’s keep score using a non-random sample of tracks
- “Get You”, a guitar/drum thumper that accelerates you to law-threatening speed
- “Washed Up”, the fast-paced Mellencamp imitation that does all the right things, none of the wrong
- “Eddie Bender”, like an Americanized version of early, fast Wire songs, with added vocal effects
- “Let Me In”, the actual single from the album that isn’t that slow/boring, but isn’t all that great either.
- “Back in Time”, a sloppy, lazy version of Parquet Courts sound
- “Free Spirit” featuring the lyrics ‘Why do I try to be such a nice guy. This is what I get for letting you fly’
If you remember nothing else when listening to Bad Sports: arpeggios bad, speed good.
* for you less technical folks (or less pretentious folks), a guitar is ‘arpeggiating’ when it plays ‘arpeggios’ (circular definition warning) which is basically playing a chord one note at a time rather than with a single strum (circular warning cancelled).


Colin MadsenPhoto from personal archive
Colin Madsen, a 25-year-old U.S. student of the Irkutsk Linguistics Institute, who disappeared in the village of Arshan in Buryatia in the early hours of March 27, has been found dead, the second search-and-rescue unit of the Buryatia search-and-rescue service has told Interfax.
"The tourist has been found dead two kilometers from the village of Arshan. Detectives are working at the scene," a unit representative said.
The student might have frozen to death, he said, adding that rescuers would bring the body to the village after the scene had been examined.
According to the press service of the Russian Investigative Committee's republican department, detectives had examined the body and did not find any visible damage. ID and money were found in the student's pockets.
A forensic medical examination will be carried out to establish the cause of death. The examination will be performed in Kyren by a group of experts from Ulan Ude.
Detectives have learned that the group of young persons with whom the U.S. student was travelling did drugs.
"According to detectives, Colin Madsen came to Arshan on vacation on March 26, 2016; he was travelling together with a fellow citizen and two residents of Irkutsk. The young men used drugs but did not drink alcohol. There were no conflicts between them," the Buryatia department of the Russian Investigative Committee said.
The young men went to bed in a guest house at about 2 a.m. local time on March 27. They planned to climb the mountains in the morning. One of the friends woke up at about 5 a.m. He saw that Madsen was missing. After having conducted an independent search, the young men filed a statement with the police in the evening of March 27.
Arshan is situated in the Tunkinskaya valley, in the foothills of the Eastern Sayan Mountains, 500 kilometers from Buryatia's capital city of Ulan Ude. It is a highland resort well known outside the republic, which accommodates two hotels.

Although Toronto is no stranger to flooding—the first written account of a flood was in 1797—many were unprepared for the devastation this storm caused. Hurricane Hazel made its way to Ontario on October 15, 1954. … It is estimated that a storm of this magnitude today would cause nearly $1 billion worth of damage.
You asked, has there been a flood in Toronto? Toronto floods during a heavy record-setting storm, 2018 In late summer of 2018, a month’s worth of rain hit the city, inundating several streets with huge amounts of water.
Correspondingly, why is there flooding in Toronto? The combination of slippery and unstable banks, and rising water levels could create hazardous conditions close to any river, stream or other water bodies. Some flooding and ponding may occur in low-lying areas or areas with poor drainage, if higher rainfall amounts materialize with thunderstorm activity.”
Beside above, when was the flood in Toronto? On Monday, July 8, 2013, Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) flooded. A storm brought 126 mm of rain to Toronto, Ontario, causing the worst flooding since Hurricane Hazel in 1954.
You asked, what cities are affected by flooding?
- Fort Myers, FL, Area. Punta Gorda, FL: 53%
- Coastal Georgia. Brunswick, GA: 50%

Thermal imaging was used to identify areas of inflammation on a dog who presented with hind limb paralysis. Significant inflammation was found in soft tissue and bony structures directly impacted by a poorly designed and fitted harness.
Partnering with the Canine Holistic Wellness Centre in Sydney, we conducted Thermal Imaging of dogs before and after hyperbaric treatment. What we found through Thermal Imaging was incredible.
The attached images are of a 2.5year toy breed dog who initially presented with hind limb paralysis, including faecal and urinary incontinence. She has been undergoing hyperbaric treatment for 1+ weeks, regaining more movement with each treatment.
The treatment's effects were amazing, with a significant reduction in ataxia and increased mobility directly after treatment. However, to get the best care, we needed a clearer picture of what was happening, the cause of the sudden onset of paralysis was still unknown.
Using the thermal imaging camera, I took a series of images that gave this patient a voice. Although not diagnostic, thermal imaging has shown us exact areas of concern, and from these images, we isolated the potential cause.
All the symptoms of this young dog were in the posterior region. Yet, these non-invasive, non-contact images show the patient is experiencing inflammation in the anterior thoracic region. This area correlates with the harness used on this dog – a popular brand. I will discuss harnesses in a separate post.
The images showed us a small area of hyperthermia on the LHS knee – only when the patient was actively using this joint to squat. Otherwise, the posterior region of this patient did not display any significant findings.
Anterior region images identified several areas of concern. The hyperthermia associated with the harness strap around the dog's barrel was surprising. Having not worn this harness for over a week, its impacts are still clearly visible in the infrared heat map.
Hyperthermic areas of concern include the LHS brachiocephalic muscles, bilateral latissimus dorsi, trapezius and rhombus muscles – all consistent with the harness used on this patient. Thermal imaging has identified the T1-T4 region as the most significant area; this is where the hard plastic buckle sits and directly applies pressure.
The RHS scapular and humorous were also found to be hyperthermic; we can see in the images that the inflammation directly follows the spine of the scapular to the point of the shoulder and then directly follows the bone of the humorous. Compared to the LHS, we have a significant finding that was easily missed without thermal imaging.
Thermal imaging used as a pre-diagnostic tool can help determine where x-rays are needed and where treatments need to be directed. In cases like this, our Wellness Checks can highlight the dangers and damage of incorrectly fitting or poorly designed equipment.

Tesla hasn’t yet shipped the Cybertruck, or the full-size Cyberquad that made a splashy debut at the introduction of its Blade Runner-esque pickup truck, but you can get a mini Cyberquad designed for the kiddos starting in 2-4 weeks if you order one right now from its website.
The Tesla “Cyberquad for Kids” is available to purchase on Tesla’s site for $1,900 — a steep price relative to your average Power Wheels, but the lowest-priced vehicle in Tesla’s existing lineup by far. And the Cyberquad’s materials are a cut above your average battery electric kid car, with a “full steel frame,” along with cushioned seating and fully adjustable suspension.
It may be the cheapest Tesla you can buy, but it’s also the most limited when it comes to range: You’ll get up to around 15 miles on a full charge, which takes five hours, according to the company. It’s also not going to break any land speed records, with a speedometer that tops out at 10 mph (which you can limit to a max of 5 mph for safety, if desired). That’s still plenty fast for a kid’s ride-on vehicle, which is probably why Tesla labels this one as designed for kids at least 8 and up, with a max weight of 150 lbs.
The Cyberquad for Kids is only available in the U.S. for now, and Tesla doesn’t guarantee delivery in time for Christmas, though this would be an impressive thing to unwrap under the tree (better than a whistle).
Meanwhile, the actual Cybertruck that inspired it is delayed to the end of 2022, and it’s still unclear if the full-size Cyberquad will arrive then, though Elon Musk has in the past suggested it’ll ship alongside the all-electric pickup.

MAY 29, 2008
Although the U.S. has revised its longstanding policy of not talking to the Maoists, (the party which will lead Nepal’s government), Washington has decided to keep the Maoists on it’s Terrorist Exclusion List (TEL). This designation will bar Maoist officials from visiting the United States, among other sanctions.
According to Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asian Affairs Evan Feigenbaum, “In terms of next steps, I really wouldn't want to speculate. It is going to depend. They are on the (terrorism) list, they remain on the list for the moment."
Feigenbaum just returned from Kathmandu after meeting Maoist chief Prachanda, who had prior talks with US ambassador to Nepal Nancy Powell about three weeks ago -- a clear softening of the previous Washington position. Feigenbaum explained: "There has been a policy that we had of not making contact with the Maoists. The fact that Nancy Powell met them and that I met them should suggest…that we have just revised that policy with respect to this group.” According to Feigenbaum, it was based on the Maoists’ recent participation in the legitimate political process. Indeed, even the Maoists' longtime rival, interim Prime Minister G.P. Koirala, has acknowledged Prachanda's legitimate right to take the reins of the government.
To understand this better, it may be helpful to show how the State Department differentiates between “Foreign Terrorist Organizations” (FTO), such as Al Qaeda, and the “Terrorist Exclusion List” (TEL), which includes Nepal’s Maoist Party.
The difference between a “FOREIGN TERRORIST ORGANIZATION” (FTO) and the “TERRORIST EXCLUSION LIST” (TEL)
An FTO is described by the State Department as follows:
“The organization’s terrorist activity or terrorism must threaten the security of U.S. nationals or the national security (national defense, foreign relations, or the economic interests) of the United States.”
A TEL is described by the State Department as follows:
>commits or incites to commit, under circumstances indicating an intention to cause death or serious bodily injury, a terrorist activity;
>prepares of plans a terrorist activity;
>gathers information on potential targets for terrorist activity; or
>provides material support to further terrorist activity.
Under the statute, “terrorist activity” means any activity that is unlawful under U.S. law or the laws of the place where it was committed and involves: hijacking or sabotage of an aircraft, vessel, vehicle or other conveyance; hostage taking; a violent attack on an internationally protected person; assassination; or the use of any biological agent, chemical agent, nuclear weapon or devise, or explosive, firearm, or other weapon or dangerous device (other than for mere personal monetary gain), with intent to endanger, directly or indirectly, the safety of one or more individuals or to cause substantial damage to property. The definition also captures any threat, attempt, or conspiracy to do any of these activities.
DESIGNATION PROCESS OF A TEL
The Secretary of State is authorized to designate groups as TEL organizations in consultation with, or upon the request of the Attorney General. Once an organization of concern is identified, or a request is received from the Attorney General to designate a particular organization, the State Department works closely with the Department of Justice and the intelligence community to prepare a detailed “administrative record,” which is a compilation of information, typically including both classified and open sources information, demonstrating that the statutory criteria for designation have been satisfied. Once completed the administrative record is sent to the Secretary of State who decides whether to designate the organization. Notices of designations are published in the Federal Register.
EFFECTS OF DESIGNATION OF A TEL
Individual aliens providing support to or associated with TEL-designated organizations my be found “inadmissible” to the U.S., i.e., such aliens may be prevented from entering the U.S. or, if already in U.S. territory, may in certain circumstances be deported. Examples of activity that may render an alien inadmissible as a result of an organization’s TEL designation include:
>membership in a TEL-designated organization;
>use of the alien’s position of prominence within any country to persuade others to support an organization on the TEL list;
>solicitation of funds or other things of value for an organization on the TEL list;
>solicitation of any individual for membership in an organization on the TEL list; and
>commission of an act that the alien knows, or reasonably should have known, affords material support, including a safe house, transportation, communications, funds, transfer of funds or other material for financial benefit, false documentation or identification, weapons (including chemical, biological, or radiological weapons), explosives, or training to an organization on the TEL list.
1. Deters donation or contributions to named organizations.
2. Heightens public awareness and knowledge of terrorist organization.
3. Alerts other governments to U.S. concerns about organizations engaged in terrorist activities.
4. Stigmatizes and isolates designated terrorist organizations.
MEANWHILE, BACK IN NEPAL…
The main palace in Kathmandu lowered the flag of the country's royal family yesterday, a day after lawmakers, led by the Maoists, abolished the monarchy that had reigned over Nepal for 239 years.
Palace staff took down the small red standard with a flag-waving lion and replaced it with Nepal's national flag, a red banner of two triangles adorned with a sun and moon.
The fact remains, with or without Washington’s stamp of approval, the Maoists are now the most viable political force in Nepal. It is they who are poised to compass Nepal’s future. And it is they who the American government will be obliged to deal with. The level of U.S. antagonism remains to be seen, but it is certain that China and India will play by different rule books.

A rebellion can’t last forever. But in the weeks since the killing of Michael Brown, the people of Ferguson, Mo., have been keeping it up for the rest of us. They’ve dragged this country into a long overdue national discussion around race, police and militarized policing. They’ve called for a national “weekend of resistance” in Ferguson on October 10-13 to help keep the movement moving. But the Ferguson moment is also in danger of ending, of becoming just another on a long list of dreams deferred, and exploded, and left to burn out and rot.
“We need to expand the civil-rights struggle to a higher level—to the level of human rights.”
Now is when vision matters most—a vision or visions that can carry people from the moment to momentum, within which a movement can mature and grow and win. That’s why we should be discussing proposals like Forward from Ferguson, a new report by Max Rameau, M Adams, and Rob Robinson—all veterans of the influential housing-justice group Take Back the Land, now working as the Center for Pan-African Development. The document, drawing on utterances of Malcolm X, calls for the U.S. racial justice movement to turn from the framework of civil rights to human rights. This is Malcolm speaking:
We need to expand the civil-rights struggle to a higher level — to the level of human rights. Whenever you are in a civil-rights struggle, whether you know it or not, you are confining yourself to the jurisdiction of Uncle Sam… All of our African brothers and our Asian brothers and our Latin-American brothers cannot open their mouths and interfere in the domestic affairs of the United States.
Civil rights keeps you under his restrictions, under his jurisdiction. Civil rights keeps you in his pocket. Civil rights means you’re asking Uncle Sam to treat you right. Human rights are something you were born with. Human rights are your God-given rights…
In addition to a different rhetoric, seeing the problems of racist policing and mass incarceration in light of human rights means new strategies. For one thing, it means more opportunities for solidarity with communities facing violations of other human rights all over the world. It also means not treating the U.S. government as the ultimate arbiter, but also bringing rights violations before international organizations like the United Nations. The authors suggest a variety of local, national and movement-centered demands for the movement growing out of Ferguson.
Read it , debate it, build on it.

Colson Baker (Machine Gun Kelly) in Taurus. A film directed and written by Tim Sutton.
Art imitates life. Or vice versa.
In Tim Sutton’s Taurus, the director/writer captured the turbulent lifestyle of a fictional musician that parallels many real-life musicians over the decades. Even more remarkable, the performance is captured with Colson Baker, also known as Machine Gun Kelly, in one of the best on-screen portrayals in his career.
Here is the official synopsis:
In Taurus, a rising but troubled musician searches for the inspiration to record his next song, pushing himself deep into the void. A work of fiction that explores fame, addiction, the artistic process, and the music industry, Taurus is a soulful and universal cautionary tale.
The film also stars Maddie Hasson (Malignant, Impulse), Demetrius “Lil Meech” Flenory (BMF, Euphoria), Ruby Rose (Orange Is the New Black, John Wick: Chapter 2), Scoot McNairy (Argo, 12 Years a Slave), Lil Tjay, and Naomi Wild.
LRM Online’s Gig Patta chatted with director and writer Tim Sutton on the origination, music, and the life and performance of Colson Baker in the film.
Tim Sutton’s first film, Pavilion, was the opening night selection at SCSW in 2012. His second feature film Memphis had its world premiere at the 70th Venice Film Festival and with North American premiere at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival. His film Dark Night, loosely based on the Aurora Cineplex massacre, premiered internationally at the 2016 Sundance Film Festival and the 2016 Venice Film Festival. His other films included Donnybrook, Funny Face, and The Last Son.
Taurus is now available On Demand and digitally.
