Soft Bedding Poses Grave Danger to Sleeping Babies
Posted by Sree Roy | Jul 31, 2019 | Age, Sleep Safety | 0 |
Almost 70% of babies who died from sleep-related suffocation between 2011 and 2014 did so because of soft bedding, a new study reveals. The finding underscores physicians' urgent message to new parents that babies should sleep only in cribs or bassinets free of blankets, toys, and other potential hazards.
Unintentional suffocation is the number-one cause of injury death in babies less than a year old in the United States, with more than 80% of cases occurring in bed. The new study, from a University of Virginia (UVA) Health System physician and her colleagues, sheds light on how that is happening, revealing that soft bedding is responsible for the vast majority of sleep-related infant deaths (69%). The second most common cause was due to overlay by another person (19%), with 71% of these occurring while sleeping in the same bed with a parent and/or sibling. The third most common was "wedging," in which babies become trapped between two objects, such as a mattress and wall (12%).
"These results are very significant, because these deaths—clearly due to suffocation—were all preventable" says UVA's Fern Hauck, MD, in a release. "It is also important to note that the causes of suffocation differed by infant age. So, overlaying is a bigger problem for the youngest infants, soft bedding affects infants most commonly under 4 months, and wedging more a problem when infants are older and can move around in bed."
Unsafe Infant Sleep Practices
Sleep-related suffocation and strangulation was responsible for 14% of all sudden, unexpected infant deaths during the period reviewed, the researchers determined. Death by soft bedding was most likely to occur in an adult bed, with the babies on their backs. Most often, the suffocation or strangulation was caused by a blanket or blankets.
When babies died of overlay, it was most often the mother who overlaid the infants. In wedging deaths, babies were most likely to become trapped between the mattress and a wall.
"Keeping infants safe is a priority for parents, and these types of suffocation deaths can be prevented by following the American Academy of Pediatrics safe sleep guidelines," Hauck says. "These include: placing infants to sleep in a safety-approved bassinet or crib in the caregivers' room; not placing infants alone or with others on adult beds to sleep; keeping all soft objects out of the infant's sleep area, including blankets and pillows (wearable blankets are preferred over loose blankets); and placing infants on their back to sleep."
In conducting the study, the researchers reviewed more than 1,800 infant deaths classified as suffocation in the Centers for Disease Control's national Sudden Unexpected Infant Death Case Registry. The deaths occurred between 2011 and 2014, the most recent year for which data was available. All the babies were less than a year old.
The study is published in Pediatrics. The research team consisted of Alexa B. Erck Lambert, Sharyn E. Parks, Carri Cottengim, Meghan Faulkner, Hauck, and Carrie K. Shapiro-Mendoza.

in Analysis Criminal Justice System Criminal Law Opinion Right to Life Rule of Law
Diwali at Mannat, but 3 lakh other undertrial Indians remain incarcerated
byShivalika Singh
in Analysis, Criminal Justice System, Criminal Law, Opinion, Right to Life, Rule of Law
The story of undertrials languishing in prisons is not new. The social background of undertrial inmates, needless arrests by the police, inadequate legal aid, mandatory bail surety, and absence of fair compensation to illegal incarcerations explain why reforms have been difficult to achieve, writes SHIVALIKA SINGH.
ON October 30, 2021, Aryan Khan was finally released from jail. After a month-long journey from his arrest, through the rejection of his bail pleas by special courts, to the final judgment in the High Court, the story was captured in news headlines, Twitter trends, and conspiracy theories. But what about all those individuals languishing in prison without being heard?
Over 70 percent of the prisoners in India (that is, 3,30,487 prisoners, as per National Crime Records Bureau data from 2019) are undertrials. In a criminal justice system where even straw and sipper are considered a luxury, it has become evident that the privileged will be exculpated and the weak will be incriminated.
The demographic make-up of the undertrial inmates in India shows a grim picture of society. Most of them belong to minority communities.
The 2019 NCRB statistics show that out of a total of 19,913 female prisoners, 13,550 are undertrials. A 2019 report prepared by the National Dalit Movement for Justice and the National Centre for Dalit Human Rights, titled "Criminal Justice in the Shadow of Caste" highlighted that in India, one in every three undertrial prisoners belongs either to a Scheduled Caste or Scheduled Tribe.
A story of systemic failure
The tale of an undertrial prisoner starts in a system where all organs of the State, that is, the legislature, the executive, and the judiciary, fail to provide them justice.
The recommendations made by the Law Commission of India in 2017 regarding bail reforms, warned the police against unnecessary arrests and magistrates against mechanical remand proceedings. Such a circumstance would not arise if Section 197 of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC) did not shield public officials even in cases involving needless arrests.
According to the section, a public official accused of committing an offense while operating in his official capacity is granted procedural immunity, and the court does not take cognizance unless previous sanction is obtained from the state or union government.

This section is a colonial vestige that the 1978 Dharamveer-led National Police Commission recommended be repealed. However, no political party has ever tried to follow through on the model police reforms suggested by the Commission.
In many cases, erroneous investigations by the police or investigating authorities lead to the prolonged pendency of trials, with little accountability.
Another deficiency in the process is the legal aid provided to these undertrial prisoners. Article 39A of the Constitution provides for free legal aid to the poor and weaker sections of society. But due to the unfavourable ratio of legal aid lawyers to the number of accused in need of services, the number of lawyers' visits are few, and most undertrials see this option as a last resort.
Further, Section 441 of the CrPC mandates bail surety, which is provided by an indemnifier who ensures that the offender is present when the court summons him. But in most of these undertrial cases, the inmates cannot afford to arrange the surety and end up suffering for months and years in prison.
With over 4.5 crore cases pending in courts across the country, the pendency of the cases in the Indian judicial system is not a secret anymore. A halt in proceedings in a trial can range from a year to even a decade and is directly associated with a low judge-to-population ratio, which should be increased from 21.03 to 50 judges per million population. A mountain of paperwork, exacerbated by a low judge-to-population ratio only adds fuel to the fire.
In circumstances where the sole bread earner of a family suffers in prison, the likelihood of the family descending into vagrancy and disorder increases. Personal loss, accompanied by financial struggle and social ostracization, creates an inescapable vicious circle.
One such case is that of Vishnu Tiwari, a 43-year-old who had spent 20 years in jail on false charges of rape and offences under the Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989. Tiwari was 23 when he was first arrested, and lost both his parents during the time he was incarcerated. The family lost their ancestral land in the process of raising money to pay the lawyers, and today Vishnu has to start over, while carrying the baggage of his incarceration.

An important aspect in this regard is the viability of compensation. In its landmark judgment in the case of Rudul Sah in 1983, the Supreme Court, for the first time, awarded monetary compensation in a case involving illegal incarceration. In this case, the petitioner was wrongfully imprisoned for 14 years and was granted a compensation of INR 30,000 in addition to the INR 5,000 already paid by the State.
The apex court said:
"Article 21 which guarantees the right to life and liberty will be denuded of its significant content if the power of this Court were limited to passing orders to release from illegal detention. … Therefore, the State must repair the damage done by its officers to the petitioner's rights. It may have recourse against those officers.
In another landmark case, Babloo Chauhan @ Dabloo vs. State Govt. Of NCT of Delhi (2017), the Delhi High Court emphasized that "there is an urgent need, therefore, for a legal (preferably legislative) framework for providing relief and rehabilitation to victims of wrongful prosecution and incarceration."
Also read: Why State's apathy towards remission pleas of convicts should concern us all
While in the cases presented above, the courts have provided for compensation, there is an absence of a law that guides the process involved in compensation for wrongful imprisonment. This has led to a muddled and inconsistent approach by the judiciary while dealing with such cases.
In the case of Nambi Narayanan, the ISRO scientist was arrested in 1994 on charges of espionage, and finally, after a long legal battle of 24 years, in 2018, the Supreme Court awarded him INR 50 lakhs in compensation and ordered an investigation into the role of the officers involved in the conspiracy against him.
This inconsistency in judgments indicates the need for a system that legally defines and provides a mechanism for fair compensation.
Also read: Making the case for a legislative framework against wrongful prosecution
The struggle ahead is long and bitter, but vital for a better future. In its Hussainara Khatoon (1979) judgment, the Supreme Court emphasized that a speedy trial is the fundamental right of every citizen. This judgment must be followed in letter and spirit.
Secondly, the fees given to legal aid lawyers should be standardized and paid at regular intervals in order to ensure their accountability in such matters. They must be required to regularly visit their undertrial clients and submit reports regarding the same.
Finally, the principle of "bail is the rule, jail is an exception" must be applied to overhaul a system collapsing with jammed files in the courtroom and inmates crammed into prisons.

Student Council to Pitch New Parietal Rules
Rachel Chang & Ianna Ramdhany
First All-School Congress in Five Years Facilitates Student-Faculty Discussion on Room Visitation Policies
News • Dec 14, 2018
Student Council Creates Policy Committee
News • Nov 3, 2017
Students and Administration Discuss Parietals
News • Dec 3, 2009
At the end of Winter Term, Student Council, in conjunction with the new policy committee, will propose a plan to implement updated parietal rules at Andover.
The current parietal rules, based on a binary dorm system, allow students to have guests of the opposite gender under supervision of House Counselors. However, with the implementation of an all-gender housing system, Andover is revisiting these rules.
"We just feel like people should have the opportunity to have privacy, and the line between privacy and supervision is one that we're trying to grapple with… We're so excited that Student Council this year has started an initiative to review these rules," said Rajesh Mundra, Assistant Dean of Students and Residential Life.
According to Mundra, Student Council has looked at the room visiting rules of other schools in order to create a plan catered toward for the needs of Andover students.
Ultimately, the faculty will decide on the new rules.
According to Eastlyn Frankel '18, Student Body Co-President, the current parietal system does not include all sexualities and does not foster healthy relationships.
"I think that [the current parietal system] sort of excludes members of our community that maybe don't identify as straight. I also think it can make relationships between boys and girls on this campus a little bit awkward or uncomfortable, if parietals always have this sort of precedent that something intimate will happen," said Frankel.
Adin McAuliffe '20, a member Student Council's Policy Committee, believes that the committee's new proposal can prevent unpleasant situations in the dorms.
"It will provide safety and a more secure place for students to feel comfortable and not break any rules… whether it be getting walked in [on], or walking into an uncomfortable situation from a teacher," said McAuliffe.
Melanie Cheung '20 is excited at the prospect of a new parietal system. Cheung said that the current rules are outdated system and complicated to the point where students just do not request parietals.
"I think that the parietal rules that we have in place now are definitely super outdated, and I'm very much for them trying to make it less based around the binary system and less heteronormative," said Cheung.
As a parent herself, Lixia Ma, Instructor in Chinese and House Counselor in Johnson Hall, hopes that the new parietal system can involve more cooperation with the parents of Andover students.
"Maybe we should let parents sign off if their children can have parietals, just like they sign off on car permission [and] day excuses for [them]… I feel if house counselors and parents are on the same page with regards to the communication of expectations and rules on parietals, then students' well-being and healthy relationship building will be better taken care of," wrote Ma in an email to The Phillipian.
The student council has looked to other private boarding high schools to see how their rules differ from Andover's. For instance, at Phillips Exeter Academy, students of opposite genders may visit one another with the door halfway open, lights on, and permission from a faculty member on-duty.
Inter-room visiting at Hotchkiss follows a sign-in and sign-out system facilitated by a faculty member on duty. Loomis Chaffee and the Hill School do not permit any inter-room visiting.
Rules for students at Lawrenceville, Taft, and Deerfield differ by grade and change depending on the ages of the students visiting each other.
"At this point, I believe our policy strikes a good balance, giving students a chance visit personal spaces (i.e. not common rooms) while making sure that behaviors are in keeping with living in a close space with other housemates. Often, these discussions end up focusing on sexual activity. Our visitation policies are not established for sexual intimacy. However, we have a clear policy for sexual consent and do not discipline students for consensual sexual activity, but we do discourage it," wrote Blake Eldridge, Dean of Students at Lawrenceville School, in an email to The Phillipian.
Will Morris, Associate Dean of Students and Director of Residential Life at Choate, wrote in an email to The Phillipian, "These rules are revisited every summer, and are revised by the Dean of Students in response to input from both advisers and students. Recent changes include a rewording of the policy to be gender-based rather than sex-based, changes to visitation hours in response to the adoption of a new daily schedule, and a heightened consequence (disciplinary warning) for students who violate visitation regulations outside of visitation hours."
According to Mundra, a possible change in the parietal rules may involve different types of room visiting, such as study room visiting. In study room visiting, students would be able to visit rooms of the opposite gender during study hours. The doors would remain open and the lights would remain on, but the process would not be as complicated as the current one.
Frankel said, "There's been a lot of interesting approaches that people have brought up to me or interesting points about ways that student council and the community as a whole could potentially go about editing our parietal rules. I think for the most part, people are in support of them being changed and edited, and I think the introduction of the policy committee will really expedite this process."

Learning as representation and representation as learning: A theoretical framework for teacher knowledge in the digital age

The present theoretical paper draws on the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge framework as a map onto which the contributions of a multimodal perspective of learning to teacher education are identified. It is assumed both learning and sign-making are dynamic processes which change the resources through with the processes take place and those who are involved in the processes. It is argued teachers reflexively educated in this framework will emerge as professionals whose perceptions of learning and semiosis are closer to the educational requirements of the XXI century.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — Now that's a special delivery!
A group of real estate agents meeting in Ann Arbor surprised a man by giving him a $2,084 tip for delivering one pizza Thursday.
The man, identified only as Rob, was stunned and said on video, "All I did was deliver pizza."
Agents from Keller Williams Realty all pitched in while attending the company's regional conference. Stacey McVey says they wanted to show their appreciation to someone from the service industry.
Besides cash, the man received a Visa gift card, lottery tickets and letters of encouragement.
Brian LeFevre, delivery manager at Pizza House in Ann Arbor, says the lucky delivery man was "ecstatic." He says "that's a pretty good day's work" for just one pizza.


Kentfield Residence :: MONOGATARI shou sugi ban Exterior Siding - reSAWN TIMBER co.
Located just over 10 miles north of San Francisco, CA, Kentfield is at the base of Mount Tam and is largely made up of residential properties. The Kentfield Residence sits low underneath the heavily forested hillside, and features a dark facade created by reSAWN's MONOGATARI shou sugi ban exterior siding. Inspired by the essence and visuals of the region's agriculture, the exterior of the home is largely made up of natural materials like wood and stone.
Arriving at the fenced in property, the Japanese influence is immediately apparent from the low-pitched roofs, ornate garden leading to the front door, and the traditional dark shou sugi ban exterior siding. After walking under a canopy of trees on the side yard, the back yard indicates a slight change of aesthetic with a more modern design. The backyard includes two patios with rustic, wooden furniture, a small grass area, and a pool that's set against a stone wall. A simple color pallet is accentuated by the completely black exterior of the MONOGATARI shou sugi ban exterior siding.
reSAWN's CHARRED offering features cypress, western red cedar, Accoya, Kebony, black walnut, red oak, white oak and reclaimed hemlock that is burnt in the Japanese tradition of shou sugi ban. Our award-winning CHARRED products pay homage to the traditional Japanese technique of "shou-sugi-ban" aka "yakisugi" without being literal. Historically very specific in their definition, "shousugi-ban" and "yakisugi" have become common nomenclature for modern charred wood designs in general. All of reSAWN's CHARRED products are made in the USA, in their facility in Telford, PA.
Swett Construction's goals are to have very satisfied and happy clients, and if they could not deliver on the basics, that would not be possible. In their experience the road to happy clientele takes four things: exceptional communication, complete transparency, outstanding subcontractors, and attention to detail.

VESELA SIMIC
EDITOR AND WRITER
Editing demands a yogi's stamina, flexibility, and steady mind.
~ Susan Bell in The Artful Edit
I love the magic of words and how language works.
I also love to learn, and a vast universe makes that possible every day.
That my love for words and learning inspires me and allows me to help others communicate something important to them makes the work I do rewarding indeed.
I'm an editor, a writer, and a teacher. Officially, it's my job to improve something that's been written, to do the actual writing, or to coach others who want to express something. So, I edit articles and books (mostly), write all manner and forms of content, and sometimes teach. My editing and writing portfolio spans topics in science and consciousness studies, spirituality, psychology, health and wellness, emerging worldviews, profiles, and reviews. With more than fifteen years in publishing, I've acquired a broad skill set, which includes managing project teams and collaborating across organizational departments. For three years, I was the staff copy editor and the food and profiles editor of Yoga Journal magazine, which gave me experience with a consumer brand and an editorial team that repeatedly won Folio's Gold Editorial Excellence Award. At the Institute of Noetic Sciences, a nonprofit that advances research on consciousness and programs in transformative learning, I was the senior editor of its flagship publication, Shift magazine. Before I transitioned into publishing, I taught high school English for several years, working with students of all levels, from AP seniors to at-risk students. I still teach sometimes and have enjoyed adding the teaching of English as a second language to my experience. I studied for my master's in English at the University of Chicago, where I was rigorously trained in the elements that create thoughtful and engaging writing. If you'd like to see my Linkedin profile, it's here.
Unofficially, it's my job to help people think more clearly and deeply, to fall in love with the art and the discipline of language—or at the very least to motivate them—and to remind people that how we work together is as important as the work we do together. Unofficially, it's also my job to be the change I want to see.
When I'm not editing, writing, or teaching, you'll likely find me enjoying yoga at some point in my day, biking or hiking a wooded trail, maybe out and about on an urban adventure, or cooking up something delicious from good food, which means organic and locally grown whenever possible. You might also find me reading any number of things----from books about metaphysics, to cultural and political commentary, memoirs, and fiction.
I am grateful for the familiar and the surprising ways love shows up in my life, and I am always inspired by my daughter, who is touching the lives of the children she teaches in our nation's capital through KIPP.

Chrysler prices new hybrids thousands below rivals
Ralph Hanson June 17, 2008 Comment Now!
Chrysler today revealed pricing for its new HEMI-powered hybrid SUVs, also boasting that its new prices will undercut the competition by as much as $8,000 on some models. The sticker price for a new 2009 Dodge Durango HEMI Hybrid (pictured) is $45,340, including $800 for destination, while the price of the 2009 Chrysler Aspen HEMI Hybrid is $45,570, including $800 for destination. However, customers are expected to receive an estimated tax credit of $1,800.
GM's comparable Chevrolet Tahoe hybrid, meanwhile, starts at $50,490 and its GMC Yukon starts at $50,945. Both the Chrysler and GM models use the same two-mode hybrid system developed in a partnership along with Germany's Daimler and BMW.
The two hybrid SUVs are Chrysler's first entries in the hybrid market and offer a 25% improvement in mileage compared with the regular petrol versions. The vehicles are still fully capable of towing up to 6,000lbs but are expected to save hundreds of gallons of fuel per year for the average motorist.
Both models feature a 5.7L HEMI V8 with cylinder-deactivation technology and develop a peak output of 385hp (287kW) and 380lb-ft (515Nm) of torque when coupled to the advanced two-mode hybrid system.

School Dress Codes… Discriminating? – W.A.M.P.U.S.
When we hear the words, "dress code", we often think of strapless shirts, short skirts, crop tops, and plunging necklines, all of which refer to women's clothing. Administrators often point out the fact that boys are not allowed to wear shirts with large armholes that reveal their armpits, but this is not as enforced as women's dress codes are, and when this argument is brought up, teachers turn a blind eye to the situation by claiming that, "men are more hormonal".
To this, many young ladies in any part of the world take offense, firstly because it is a form of discrimination, and is sexist, and secondly because it is pure victim-blaming. Women are being yelled at and ridiculed because of something that is not their fault.
Very often, the question of "is a dress code necessary" comes up at least twice every summer. Obviously, being of one of the parties, I have a definite bias, but if I put myself in the shoes of someone who wouldn't, I would see the dress code for what it is, a plain restriction put on women because of men. Often, women are restricted in this way, and it becomes a reason for them to lash out, and while the dress code was set to calm down the other party's hormones, rage boils in ladies' hearts because they want the feeling of being able to be free. It also tells ladies that their bodies cause negativity and cause distractions, which is the last thing to be telling an already insecure teenager.
In BHS, for example, there have been quite a few times where women have been called out because they defied the impossible standards of the dress code. From the one incident I witnessed, the girl was wearing spaghetti straps that showed off her collarbone, and the teacher lashed out at her, leaving her to be ridiculed. This caused embarrassment and shame to said girl, and anger could build up in her, possibly causing a future debacle.
Examining the dress code with an unbiased opinion, I can say that it is sexist and favors men over women, and restricts women from wearing clothes they may feel good in. This then causes women to become victims and lash out at the school board. Overall, I can say that the dress code should be as flexible to women as it is to men so that their treatment is fair and no one's feelings get hurt.

Ohio Man Indicted for Soliciting the Murder of Members of the U.S. Military
WASHINGTON—A six-count indictment was filed today charging an Akron, Ohio, man for soliciting the murder of members of the U.S. military.
Terrence J. McNeil, 25, was indicted on three counts of solicitation of a crime of violence and three counts of threatening military personnel. He was arrested on Nov. 12, 2015, on federal charges that he solicited the murder of members of the U.S. military.
The charge was announced by Assistant Attorney General for National Security John P. Carlin, U.S. Attorney Steven M. Dettelbach of the Northern District of Ohio and Special Agent in Charge Stephen D. Anthony of the FBI's Cleveland Division.
"According to the indictment, Terrence McNeil solicited the murder of members of our military by disseminating ISIL's violent rhetoric, circulating detailed U.S. military personnel information and explicitly calling for the killing of American service members in their homes and communities," said Assistant Attorney General Carlin. "ISIL and its followers continue to use social media in an attempt to incite violence around the world, including in the United States. The National Security Division's highest priority is counterterrorism and we will use all of our tools to disrupt threats and acts of violence against our military members and their families."
"We owe it to our servicemen and women to protect their safety at home after they fought abroad to protect our freedom," said U.S. Attorney Dettelbach. "This defendant is charged with urging harm to our men and women in uniform and will now answer for those threats."
"While we aggressively defend First Amendment rights, the individual arrested went far beyond free speech by reposting names and addresses of 100 U.S. service members, all with the intent to have them killed," said Special Agent in Charge Anthony. "We will remain vigilant in our efforts to stop those who wish to support these despicable acts."
According to the indictment:
McNeil maintained social media accounts on several social media websites, including Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr. He repeatedly professed his support on social media for the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), a designated foreign terrorist organization.
On or about Sept. 24, 2015, using a Tumblr account, McNeil reblogged a file with the banner "Islamic State Hacking Division," followed by "Target: United States Military" and "Leak: Addresses of 100 U.S. Military Personnel."
The file type is a .gif file, which allows multiple still images to be looped in one file, with a timed delay between each image. The text of the first file reads "O Brothers in America, know that the jihad against the crusaders is not limited to the lands of the Khilafah, it is a world-wide jihad and their war is not just a war against the Islamic State, it is a war against Islam…Know that it is wajib (translated to "necessary") for you to kill these kuffar! and now we have made it easy for you by giving you addresses, all you need to do is take the final step, so what are you waiting for? Kill them in their own lands, behead them in their own homes, stab them to death as they walk their streets thinking that they are safe…"
The file then loops several dozen photographs, purportedly of U.S. military personnel, along with their respective name, address and military branch.
The final image looped is a picture of a handgun and a knife with text that reads "…and kill them wherever you find them…"
On Oct. 3, 2015, McNeil posted on his Twitter account: "Released—Address of the U.S. Navy Seal [R.O] who killed Sheikh Osama Bin Laden R.A.—#GoForth #RunRobertRun."
The defendant included in his post an embedded link that when clicked revealed the purported address of R.O. and a link to R.O.'s purported photograph. The link further stated that R.O. "is a mummy's boy who has been trying to hide yet still lives with his father…and mother…In between going around America to conferences boasting at how his 'claim to fame' is killing Sheikh Osama Bin Laden R.A. …I am posting his address to brothers & to Al Qaeda in the U.S. as a number one target."
On Oct. 3, 2015, McNeil posted the content regarding R.O. and his address and photograph from the embedded link described above onto his Tumblr page. McNeil added the statement, "don't let this kafir sleep peacefully," to his Tumblr post.
If convicted, a defendant's sentence will be determined by the court after review of factors unique to this case, including the defendant's prior criminal history, if any, the defendant's role in the offense and the characteristics of the violation. Each solicitation count carries a statutory maximum sentence of 20 years in prison, and each threat count carries a statutory maximum sentence of five years in prison.
An indictment is only a charge and not evidence of guilt. It is the government's burden to prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt, and a defendant is presumed innocent until that time.
The case is being investigated by the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force in Cleveland. This case is being prosecuted by U.S. Attorney's Office of the Northern District of Ohio and the National Security Division's Counterterrorism Section.

The Raptors Gifted Drake a Custom OVO Jacket Worth $550,000 (UPDATE)
ByAlex Galbraith
Image via Getty
UPDATED 5/22/19 10:05 am. ET: Though an initial report estimated the custom OVO jacket had a price tag around $769,000, a press release from Garrison Bespoke states the 235 handset diamond jacket made with Diamond Foundry diamonds is actually closer to $550,000.
See original story published on 5/21/19 below.
The Toronto Raptors don't know anything about any curse. Rather than trying to ward off their supposedly jinxed megabooster Drake, the Raptors presented him with a custom-made Raptors/OVO jacket. The custom piece awarded to the team's official ambassador is worth an estimated $769,000.
The jacket was studded with Drizzy's owl logo and the Raptors' slashed basketball sigil. The fabric for the jersey was sourced from a French mill by Toronto's Garrison Bespoke, one of the first examples of "jersey" cloth from 1927. The diamonds are lab-grown and carbon-neutral.
Drake Teases New "Drake Night" Raptors Merch
Drake Trolls Those That Believe In His Sports Curse
"This is truly a 1 of 1 piece," Michael Nguyen, the clothier behind the jacket, told The Star. "Both the jersey inside, which Drake himself helped design, and this very special piece of cloth. And the diamonds, of course."
Though the Raptors aren't even the tiniest bit 'stitious, some people can't let go of the idea that showing favor to the rapper is inviting hexes.
Drake is fully aware of the way that sports fans think of him. After the Raptors sent the Orlando Magic packing, the rapper addressed the press and asked them if they were still thinking about the curse.
"You want me to talk about the curse or you guys good?" he said after the win.
In spite of that, Drake has used the curse to his advantage. He wore 76ers gear to put some bad juju on Philly, and Kawhi Leonard obliged with a heart-stopping shot to end their postseason.

Mortal Kombat 1 (1992) In Development
The Van Damme Project
Mortal Kombat appears as an alternative of game that was supposed to have Van Damme as a main character. "Unfortunately" the work on this game never started, because Van Damme could not participate in it, and so Ed Boon and John Tobias start working on a new project - Mortal Kombat.
Before Mortal Kombat was chosen as name for the game, there were a lot of different proposals, including Kumite, Dragon Attack, Deathblow and even Fatality. Then Steve Richie added the word Mortal to the already written down word Kombat putting together the final name of the game.
Minamoto Yo Shin Soo - Yoshitsune Minamoto
The original name of Liu Kang was Minamoto Yo Shin Soo. This was in the very early stage of the development of the game. This comes from the Ultimate Guide to Mortal Kombat CD ROM. Other info comes from interviews with John Tobias:
"Tobias: The actual Liu Kang character with the long black hair and black pants was originally going to be called Minamoto Yo Shin Soo. [laughter] He was a Japanese mythological character, but I think we just couldn't deal with the name." -MK3 Official Kollector's Book, p.5.
"We were going to do a big barbarian character," he [Tobias] continues. "I don't know how to describe him; he was character out of Japanese mythology. We axed him, but we sort of did that [anyway] when we came up with Goro, because he was going to be the big brute. There was a character called Minamoto, this is way, way into the early stages, but he got axed." -Mortal Kombat Magazine #1, p.29.
Bold Liu Kang
Liu Kang was supposed to be bold, just like any other Shaolin Monk. The only reason why this didn't happen is that the actor, who played him, Ho Sung Pak, refused to shave his head. On the other hand, the actor Richard Divizio was eager to take the razor and give us a bold Kano.
Tundra was the name of an early version of Sub-Zero, when the uniform was different.
"Boon: We were going to call Sub-Zero Tundra." -MK3 Official Kollector's Book, p.5.
Michael Grimm
In a very early version of Mortal Kombat Johnny Cage was called Michael Grimm.
"Boon: Johnny Cage used to be called Michael Grimm." -MK3 Official Kollector's Book, p.5.
Rokuro
This comes from the Ultimate Guide to Mortal Kombat CD ROM, and seems to be an early version of Goro.
The Rokuro come from Japanese mythology/folklore, and one of the most well-known stories about these entities was translated by Lafcadio Hearn in the early 1900's in his book called Kwaidan. In 1964, stories from Kwaidan were turned into a film of the same name, but Rokuro-Kubi was not among them (the tone of this particular story would have been at odds with the creepiness of the rest of the film). As for the Rokuro being in Mortal Kombat, they would have made for some interesting combatants.
Kurtis Stryker
This character was planned for Mortal Kombat 1, and he has Sonya's story. Kurtis Stryker is not the one we know from Mortal Kombat 3. It is actually the one we all know as Jax. I hope the following quote will make all things clear:
"JT: Jax was called Kurtis Stryker a long time ago, because Jax originally was going to be in Mortal Kombat 1, but we did him as Kurt Stryker, and his story was actually Sonya's story.
EB: When we decided to add Sonya, we took the story line and applied it to her. We always wanted to bring Jax back, and that's why we brought him into Mortal Kombat II..." -MK3 Official Kollector's Book, p.5.
TurboGrafx 16/PC
MK1 was planned for TurboGrafx 16/PC but NEC refused Acclaim the license for obvious reasons at the time.
Liu Kang's Pants
Liu Kang first had a text on his pants that says Otomix (Otomix is an actual established supplier of martial arts and athletic wear). For the sole purpose of not advertising Otomix the text was edited out of the sprites.
Johnny Cage in The Game Boy Version
The team that developed the GameBoy version of the game must have thought about having Cage in it, but later decided to take him out (probably due to memory limitations). However, if you use the gameshark code 011040D6, you will be able to fight against him. Or if you use the gameshark code 010785D6, you will be able play as him. He uses Sonya's sprites, doesn't have a finisher and his only special move is a fireball identical to Shang Tsung's one.
Unreleased Arena in The Game Boy Version
Early screenshots of the GameBoy version of the game show a background that was never added in the final product. Also note that Shang Tsung appears on an arena different from Goro's Lair. May be he was a playable fighter too, until some point.
Playable Bosses
These early screenshots reveal that there were plans to make the two boss characters playable in the Sega Genesis, SNES and SMS/GameGear versions of the game. On these images you can see these two fighters on arenas different from Goro's Lair. Note that they also have points, which is only possible, when someone is playing with them. Note too that the Sega Genesis port uses x-es to mark a winning round.

How Ross Perot changed the course of Apple history

American business magnate and politician Ross Perot died yesterday at the age of 89.
However, while the world probably remembers Perot best for his 1992 and 1996 presidential campaigns, Perot also played a crucial role in Apple history. Here's how.
NeXT's most important investor
After Steve Jobs was booted out of Apple in the mid-1980s, he invested his own money in starting a new company called NeXT. NeXT was profiled in a 1986 TV series, entitled The Entrepreneurs. While the NeXT episode didn't set the world on fire (the New York Times described it as being about "heroes of American capitalism" sitting around and taking endless meetings), it did win Jobs an important investor.
Ross Perot was then a 56-year-old businessman. He had started out his career at IBM, before founding his own data processing company, Electronic Data Systems, which made him rich. Perot saw the episode of The Entrepreneurs, featuring Jobs. He reportedly phoned Steve and told him, "If you ever need an investor, call me." Jobs then gave Perot a tour of NeXT's factory in Fremont, California, where he planned to build the computer.
I had somehow forgotten that Ross Perot was a friend of Steve Jobs and an investor in NeXT. In a roundabout way, he helped bring us the iPhone. pic.twitter.com/kVfHvKRRK3
— Harry McCracken (@harrymccracken) July 9, 2019
Perot liked the idea of building computers in the U.S. and thought that NeXT could make this happen. Notably, a few years before, he had missed out on investing in Microsoft. While Bill Gates and Perot told different versions of the story, there were definitely conversations about Perot purchasing the company. They never came to anything and Perot missed out on a massive deal.
Picking the jockeys
Perot initially invested $20 million in NeXT in exchange for 16% of the company. This was massively overvaluing NeXT. It also helped save Jobs' bacon. While he had a sizable personal fortune, Jobs couldn't afford to endlessly bankroll a company that was burning through cash.
Jobs managed to impress many people in his life. Perot bought, well and truly, into the myth of Steve Jobs. Speaking at the National Press Club a few years after his NeXT investment, Perot talked warmly about Jobs. Retelling the Apple origin story (in a way that cut out the contribution of Steve Wozniak), Perot described Jobs as:
"a young man, so bright they let him sit in the engineering classes at Stanford in high school, so poor he couldn't afford to go to college – working in his garage at night, playing with computers chips, which was his hobby, his dad came in one day, who – his dad looks like a character out of a Norman Rockwell painting – and said, 'Steve, either make something you can sell or go get a job.' Sixty days later, in a wooden box that his dad made for him, the first Apple computer was created. And this high school graduate literally changed the world."
Perot's faith in NeXT helped the company pick up further investments. Ultimately, NeXT was a flop. Its computers never sold like Jobs or Perot had thought. But it was an immensely significant part of Jobs' life. He learned skills at NeXT which helped transform him into the CEO who later turned Apple around. It was also at NeXT that Jobs oversaw the development of an OS which he later sold to Apple. Without Perot's investment and support, there's a chance that none of this ever happens.
And that's how Ross Perot played a crucial role in Apple history.

The faculty show, one of the oldest, continuous-running shows of its kind in the nation, features recent works by faculty in the university's School of Art and Design. The exhibition includes painting, printmaking, photography, sculpture, ceramics, metals, glass, installation work, design, and video and digital media.
Coinciding with the exhibition will be three gallery talks by Illinois faculty members, beginning at noon in the museum's Light Court Gallery on the following dates:
o Nov. 20, Rosalyn Schwartz, painting program;
o Dec. 4, Judi Ross, foundation program;
o Dec. 11, Billie Jean Theide, metal program.
"Summoning the Sacred" features pastels by Johnson, a self-taught artist whose work has been characterized as spiritual explorations of personal identity. The colorful, iconic works on paper express an inner strength and beauty that is at once individual and universal.
Two events are planned in conjunction with the exhibition:
Nov. 20, 5:30 p.m., gallery talk by Johnson in the museum's Contemporary Gallery.
Nov. 23, 9 a.m.-noon, workshop, museum auditorium. Johnson will conduct the workshop, "Art as Window and Mirror: Art-Centered Diversity Education in Teaching and Learning." Participants will explore art as a tool and strategy for diversity education, and will examine the capacity of the visual arts to develop students' intercultural competency. Registration is required; to register, call (217) 333-1861.
The Krannert Art Museum is located on the UI campus at 500 E. Peabody Drive, Champaign, one block east of Memorial Stadium. The museum is open to the public from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday; until 8 p.m. on Wednesday; and from 2 to 5 p.m. Sunday. A donation of $3 is suggested.

Kyle Peltier (a dedicated father and US veteran) was playing with his 7 children on a sunny afternoon while his wife was taking a test. In an instant, he saw his children hit by someone fleeing police at 80mph. Two now face life-threatening injuries - a 2yo in critical condition and a 4yo whose brain is still bleeding.
I don't know the Peltiers (I have since been in contact with them for this fund) but, as a parent, I know the heartbreak that floods you when your child gets even a minor cut or bruise. I know the helplessness that grips you as you watch them sick or in a hospital. Yet I can't even fathom the magnitude of that pain for the Peltiers as their innocent children, in the middle of playing as a family, were run over and now hang on for dear life.
The Peltiers now face hospital bills, the mental toll of a criminal case against the assailant, and potential future implications of any injuries - all while trying to come to terms with this horrible event. Raising a family of 7 is not easy. Medical bills are not cheap (they're the #1 cause of bankruptcy). It seems to me that the simplest and most tangible thing we can do to help this family is to cover as much of their little ones' medical bills as we can.
Let's help the Peltier children as they fight for their lives.


Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder weren't always just Vampire Diaries costars. For quite some time the two were a couple. Now that Ian Somerhalder is engaged to Twilight star Nikki Reed, do you think Nina Dobrev will score an invite to the couple's wedding?
Ian and Nikki are reportedly planning to marry in June. If the wedding is a large one, Ian supposedly feels like he should invite Nina Dobrev.
But what if they do invite Nina Dobrev and she doesn't decline?
"They may actually dodge future awkwardness by having a very intimate wedding with just family and then they can make the excuse that they didn't invite any cast members. One thing for sure is that it is a problem they are definitely trying to figure out," the source explains.
A recent report from The Christian Post claims Nina Dobrev has become closer to Ian Somerhalder since he and Nikki Reed became engaged. Could she actually throw a wrench in those wedding plans?
Do you think there is any chance that Ian Somerhalder would ditch his fiancee and go back to Nina Dobrev? Do you expect that Ian and Nikki will go forth with their wedding preparations despite the fact that he and Nina have grown closer in recent weeks?
It will be interesting–come June–to learn whether or not Nina Dobrev actually scores an invite to Ian Somerhalder and Nikki Reed's wedding, and then to find out what she writes on her R.S.V.P.

It's common knowledge that driving while impaired on drugs or alcohol (DWI) is a crime. When a DWI results in serious injury to another person, it's referred to as intoxication assault. Intoxication assault is an incredibly serious offense under Texas law. If convicted, you could face felony charges.
Intoxication assault can lead to serious injuries that require extensive medical treatment. Because of this, the District Attorney's Office is highly pressured to prosecute the crime to the fullest extent of the law. Don't wait in uncertainty for another moment. If you or someone you know has been charged with intoxication assault, it's imperative that you contact an experienced criminal defense attorney.

Overview of Intoxication Assault in Texas
Intoxication Assault Under Texas Law
Texas Penalties for Intoxication Assault
How Does Texas Define Intoxication?
Intoxication Manslaughter Penalties
It's illegal to drive under the influence of drugs or alcohol in Texas. If an accident leads to serious injury, the crime could be reclassified as intoxication assault. Texas Penal Code § 49.07 states the elements for intoxication assault that must be proven at trial include:
The defendant was operating a motor vehicle intoxicated; and
The defendant's intoxicated state caused serious bodily injury to another person.
Intoxication assault doesn't just include traditional motor vehicles. You can be charged with intoxication assault while operating an aircraft, watercraft or assembling an amusement park ride.
Texas law defines serious bodily injury as any injury that causes a risk of death or serious permanent disfigurement, protracted loss or impaired function of a body part. Examples of a serious bodily injury include amputated limbs, severe brain injury or extreme facial disfigurement.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) states Texas had the highest number of alcohol-impaired driving fatalities in 2016. This has caused the state of Texas to impose harsh penalties for those whose DWI lead to serious injury or death.
Intoxication assault is a third-degree felony, which is punishable by:
Up to 10 years in prison; and
A possible fine of up to $10,000
Additionally, the court is required to impose a minimum two-year jail sentence. Certain factors can enhance your penalties. If your DWI resulted in traumatic brain injury which caused the victim to be in a persistent vegetative state, you may be facing a second-degree felony.
The penalties for a second-degree felony include:
How is Intoxication Defined Under Texas Law?
The state of Texas defines intoxication in two ways; blood-alcohol concentration (BAC) or an assessment of your physical and mental faculties. Typically, law enforcement will use chemical testing to analyze your blood-alcohol concentration. These tests include blood analysis, breath analysis and urinalysis.
Texas Penal Code § 49.01 measures BAC by number of grams of alcohol per:
100 milliliters of blood;
67 milliliters of urine; or
210 liters of breath.
Texas considers a BAC of .08 to official limit for intoxication. People who are tested with a BAC of .08 or higher will be arrested for driving under the influence. However, law enforcement doesn't only rely on chemical testing to evaluate a person's impairment level. In some cases, police officers may use field sobriety testing to assess a person's physical and mental faculties.
Only standardized field sobriety tests by the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration (NHTSA) are considered admissible in court. These tests include the horizontal gaze nystagmus, walk-and-turn, and the one-leg stand. Police officers may ask the offender to perform these tests so they can evaluate their impairment level.
Intoxication Manslaughter
If your DWI accident resulted in the death of another person, you could be charged with intoxication manslaughter. Even if the death was caused by a mistake or was on accident. Intoxication manslaughter is a serious offense that can result in a second-degree felony.

MVP on Lesnar: "Brock Lesnar is soft. He works a part-time schedule. He's not on the road hanging and banging all the time."
Former WWE star Braun Strowman fires back at critics, says making trolls cry is his new favorite hobby
WWE files for Brock Lesnar related trademark
WWE has no plans for a champion vs. champion match at WrestleMania
Reason why Braun Strowman was missing from this week's WWE Raw
Angel Rodriguez
This week's episode of Monday Night Raw continued the hype for the upcoming Braun Strowman vs. Brock Lesnar match at WWE No Mercy. However, many fans noticed that Strowman was nowhere to be seen this week. For those of you wondering why Strowman was not on Monday Night Raw, it's because they made a creative decision to keep him off the show so that they could keep him separated from Brock Lesnar.
As reported in the Wrestling Observer newsletter, after the physical angle they did on the Raw after SummerSlam, the feeling in WWE was that they didn't want them to do anything physical for a second straight week so they just had Paul Heyman and Lesnar go out to the ring and cut a promo on this week's show.
Strowman will be back on this coming Monday's show since Lesnar and Heyman will not be there. Both men are scheduled for the 9/11 show in Anaheim. The 9/18 show is the go-home show for No Mercy so I would assume that they would also be on that show as well.
At this point, only two matches have been announced for No Mercy: John Cena vs. Roman Reigns and Lesnar defending the Universal Championship against Strowman. Based on the angle they did on this week's episode of Raw, it seems likely that Alexa Bliss will defend the Raw Women's Championship against Nia Jax. That was a match that was originally scheduled for SummerSlam before Vince McMahon changed his mind. Also, it looks like we'll get a rematch for the Raw Tag Team Championship with Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins defending against Sheamus and Cesaro. Enzo Amore is in a feud with Neville so we might see Amore challenge for the Cruiserweight title at the PPV.

Q: Why can't the compiler just compile my code as I type it? Why can't the compiler just compile my code as I type it?
From the user's point of view, it could work as smoothly as syntax colouring does today. If you stop typing for long enough (maybe a couple of seconds) the compilation (not linking) would finish, and code errors would be identified using something like syntax colouring.
It's not like my 3GHz quad core monster computer was really busy doing something else. Why not let it compile all the time?

A: That's exactly what the VB.NET code editor in Visual Studio does.
The advantage is much more accurate IntelliSense than C#. The disadvantage is that it wastes truly vast amounts of processor time and memory. :-(

A: It can. Or, to be more useful, the answer to this question depends on

*

*What language

*What degree of optimization you require

*How annoyed you will be if you temporarily type something dumb, and the compiler compiles and injects the result into the binary your are debugging before you can fix it.

Some really strong optimizations would be very messy to mess with on the fly. On the other hand, a basic compilation, if there's no need to worry about assigning offsets for X86 instructions? Sure.

A: Some IDEs do compile (or at least check syntax and some semantics) code as it is typed.  For example, I think Eclipse does it.  I think Visual Basic 6 (and maybe earlier versions) did this.

A: Note sure what IDE you're using, but that's how VB.NET works.

A: I'm not well-versed in compilers or the methods by which code is converted to IL and machine language, etc. But even so I can see how altering my program by one flow control statement can completely invalidate the work a compiler has done up to that point. By adding or changing a single line of code, entire portions of a program may become obsolete, unused, or in some other way require re-evaluation.
I think I'd rather save those CPU cycles for distributed.net or SETI @ Home instead of constantly recompiling my code as I alter it.

A: That totally depend on the language.
Languages that have context-independent syntaxes "could" pre-compile expressions once typed. However, compilation of such languages project is always fast, so why use the cpu when you can batch quickly the work when the code is ready?
Other languages, like infamously C++, are context-dependent. In most cases, the compiler can't understand an expression without having already read the whole code before the expression. It's really really hard to parse and that's why we have error checking before compilation only now (in VS2010 and other recent ide). In this case it looks like impossible to implement the feature you're asking for.
That said, I'm not a specialist at all. That's all I know about it.

A: Even interpreted languages like PHP have support for this in the Komodo editor. I'm sure there's many more editors out there that support this for almost any language.

How Electric Cars Work
With the ever-increasing fuel problems, it has become necessary for people to use better forms of energy to drive their cars. This is what has resulted in the modern day electric cars. They are known to be very efficient and consume much less energy making is one of the environmentally friendly automobiles. This idea of using electric cars was necessitated by the fuel shortages being experienced all over the world.
According to statistics, almost everyone has owned or rented vehicle in their lifetime. Moreover, majority of the vehicles will be powered by internal combustion system or engine. These engines run on diesel or gasoline fuel. These engines release vast amount of energy when ignited which is then used to power your car. These are the type of vehicles that have been with us for almost a century.
In the present time, there are many new types of vehicles that are spreading throughout the world like wild fire. They are vehicle powered by more efficient energy source that is not limited to regions like the case of fossil fuels. These are the new breed of cars commonly known as the electric cars. There are those that have hybrid engine and those with electric engine. However, the cleanest of them all are those with electric engines and they are the ones currently a hot sale in the market today.
In this regard, it is very important that you learn more about electric cars and most importantly how they work.
Types of Batteries
Charging of Electric Vehicles (EV)
Difference Between Electric Engine and Gasoline Engine
Electric cars get power form the rechargeable batteries installed inside the car. These batteries are not only used to power vehicles but also used for the functioning of wipers and lights. Electric cars look precisely like other normal vehicles outward, but for lack of exhaust system. However, inward they are very different from each other. For instance, you will not find any gas tank, as they do not use fuel for locomotion or propelling the engines.
See also How Sustainable Office Buildings are Improving Employee Health
Consequently, the battery packs are under the vehicle and sometimes in the trunk. It is the same kind of batteries that are commonly used when starting up a gasoline engine. The only difference comes in the fact that in electric vehicles, they have more of them and they also store energy that is used in powering the vehicle. You will also find a regulator on the batteries, which simply ensures energy amount produced and that which is consumed by the car is constant. This ensures there is not battery that burns out.
Moreover, the workability aspect of electric cars is very interesting. A part from the engine, almost all other things is the same as those in other type of cars. For instance, the climate controls system, brakes and transmission systems as well as air bags. One of the major true differences that you will find is the electric motor. There are three types of them in the market: DC brushless with top speed, AC induction with the best acceleration and permanent magnet motor. These are the motors that are used in creating an electric vehicle.
The 3 main components of electric car are :- Electric motor, Controller and Battery. When you switch on the car, the current is passed from the battery. The controller takes power from the battery and passes it on to the electric motor. Before passing the current to motor, the controller converts the 300V DC into a maximum of 240 volts AC, 2 phase power which is suitable for motor. The electric motor then converts electrical energy to mechanical energy. The mechanical energy moves the vehicle forward. Controller stands as the buyer of power from battery and gives out put power to motor accordingly. Variable potentiometers are connected between accelerator and the controller. These potentiometers tell the controller how much power it is supposed to deliver. When the accelerator is released it delivers 0V and when they are fully pressed, it gives maximum output.
See also What is Environmental Health and Critical Issues Related to it?
In terms of battery, there are various batteries to choose from :-
Lithium ion batteries : Lithium ion batteries gives extra performance, range and carry highest price tag. They are lighter than Lead acid and Nickel metal. These are the batteries that are used to store data in digital camera or smart phone.
Lead acid battery : These batteries are the most popular, cheapest and 97% recyclable.
Nickel metal hydride batteries : They are cost much more than lead acid but provide higher output and better performance.
As the electric car moves, the forward momentum generated by electric motor can be used to charge the batteries when you apply the brakes. This is a phenomenon commonly referred to as regenerative braking and can recover up to about 15% of used energy for acceleration. This is done by applying generated momentum in braking process to the car batteries. As much as this is effective, it does not however generate enough to fully recharge the car fully to run it. Therefore, the important thing that it does is extending the distance you can drive with the charge battery.
Charging and electric car is similar to charging an electronic device. A charging cable is used to supply 230V current to the EV through public charging station or home charging station. The electric current flows to the charger which converts the current into a format that can be easily absorbed by the battery.Current than flows to the battery where it gets stored to be retrieved later. Depending on the size and distance to be covered, an EV needs to be charged at appropriate intervals.

1. Energy Storage : Electric engines store energy inside the battery while gasoline engine use energy produced by ignition of fuel i.e. petrol or diesel.
2. Environment Impact : Electric engines use energy from renewable energy source like solar, wind or may be from non-renewable energy source like coal and natural gas. It all depends on how your home is drawing electricity. Gasoline engines on the other hand burn fuel which releases carbon dioxide and has huge environmental impact.
3. Fuel : Gasoline engines or other internal combustion engines run by burning of fuel where as an electric engine receive power from rechargeable battery.
4. Cost : As per the research, it is believed that electric vehicle cost about 2 cent per mile while gasoline powered car cost little more then 12 cent per mile.
5. Recharge or Refuel : A normal gasoline powered car takes less than 5 minutes to fill the empty tank where as en electric car takes about 6-7 hours to charge. This again depends on the size of battery.
6. Speed : The speed if an electric vehicle can go up to 100 miles per hour while the same for an gasoline engine can go beyond 300 miles per hour.
Other aspects include battery types, which makes it more efficient in energy. However, take note that electric cars are not essentially the easiest or speediest to maintain. With the new developments being made today, these electric cars are nearing that stage where they will be regarded as the best alternatives to other types of cars. This will greatly reduce pollution associated with combustion in the world today.
