One of the most legendary games is getting remade, with a new title arriving next year set to revamp the long-running "SimCity" franchise and bring it into the current generation.
Originally created in 1989 by Will Wright, the SimCity games paved the way for a whole host of Sim-titles, including "SimCity 2000," "SimTower," and most notably "The Sims." Creator Will Wright designed many of these games, including the Sim-everything title, "Spore".
Announced today, EA and Maxis will bring SimCity back in 2013 with a whole new look and engine, allowing gamers to play the mayor and control nearly every aspect of the city designed by the player.
From what we hear, SimCity will be a PC-only title, although that could change by the time it's released next year.

Everything To Know About How To Celebrate The Upcoming Lunar New Year
Alexis Morillo
January 6, 2023, 10:49 AM ·3 min read
When we think of the "holiday season," we may only think of the holidays we celebrate ourselves. But people all over the world have different holiday-season traditions, and it's important to be aware of these celebrations. This is why we're diving deep into the Lunar New Year—what it is and what traditions accompany the holiday.
What is the Lunar New Year?
The Lunar New Year, known as Spring Festival in some parts of the world, is the observance of the start of a new year using the lunisolar calendar. It's a tradition celebrated in China and several other Asian countries like South Korea and Vietnam. A lunar year includes 12 full cycles of the moon and is around 354 days long, although sometimes an extra month is added to stay more in line with the solar year (the 365-day year you're likely familiar with). This added month is why the Lunar New Year takes place on a different day within that window each year.
When is the Lunar New Year this year?
This year, the Lunar New Year falls on Sunday, January 22, which marks the beginning of the year of the rabbit.
What does the Lunar New Year celebration entail?
Celebrations may vary from place to place, but in China, the Lunar New Year is a 15-day occasion that kicks off with a family feast. People often travel from far and wide to participate in these festivities with their loved ones.
There are quite a few traditional foods eaten during the holiday like nian gao (a new year rice cake), whole fish, whole chicken, dumplings, tangyuan (sweet rice balls), braised shiitake mushrooms, tangerines, and more. The whole fish and whole chicken are meant to symbolize the values of unity and abundance that are integral to the Lunar New Year holiday.
What are the values and superstitions of the Lunar New Year?
Fortune, happiness, and health are the three overarching themes of the Lunar New Year. Carrying over good fortune into the new year and attracting good luck leads to some superstitions in different cultures too. In some families, it is thought that you should avoid crying, using scissors, changing your hair style, and wearing black and white, as these behaviors are associated with sadness, severing connections, and mourning—all emotions that should not be brought into the start of a new year!
Instead, many people wear red for good luck, pay off their debts to start the year with a clean slate, and even avoid doing their laundry, washing their hair, or sweeping their floors for a few days as to not get rid of the good fortune following their celebrations.
What are some traditions of Lunar New Year?
If you participate in Lunar New Year festivals, you will likely see a calligraphy character displayed on a square of red paper and hung in a diamond shape. The character is 福 [fú], which means good luck and is hung upside to symbolize good luck pouring down on you.
You may also see red envelopes full of money, which are known as lì xì in Vietnamese or hóngbāo in Mandarin. In China, these are traditionally gifted from an older person or parent to children, or anyone who's unmarried. The money is meant to ward off any evil spirits. Firecrackers and confetti poppers are also a common decoration and tradition for festivals related to the Lunar New Year. Perhaps one of the most common images you may see at Lunar New Year festivals are those of the Lion Dance and Dragon Dance. These displays include people in costume or puppeteers that put on the show for viewers.

Canada: CEWS Revisited: What Employers Need to Know
On 19 November 2020, Bill C-9, An Act to amend the Income Tax Act (Canada Emergency Rent Subsidy and Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy) received Royal Assent. Bill C-9 revises the eligibility criteria and the level of subsidisation that employers can access under the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy (CEWS), and extends the overall program to 30 June 2021.
Canada: Diminished Expectation of Privacy: Employer Justified in Searching Employee's Computer
Bottom Line On judicial review, the Divisional Court of Ontario upheld an arbitrator's decision allowing an employer's search of a grievor's personal email account, which had been accessed using an employer-issued laptop. This recent decision helpfully illustrates for employers that there are limits to a worker's reasonable expectations of privacy when using employer-issued technology. Background […]
Canada: Deadlines for Ontario AODA Compliance Reports and other Accessibility Requirements
The deadline for businesses and non-profit organizations with 20 or more employees to file an accessibility compliance report under Ontario's AODA has been extended to 30 June 2021. At this time, the extension does not apply to public sector organizations, which are still required to submit an accessibility compliance report by 31 December 2020
Canada: Human Rights Violation Found to Arise from an Employee's Forced Complicity in a Sexual Relationship
Bottom Line In cases involving sexual activity between two co-workers, it can be difficult to determine whether a participant is truly consenting or merely acquiescing to the relationship. As the #MeToo movement has revealed, the line between consent and acquiescence becomes even more blurred when there is a significant power imbalance between the participants to […]
Canada: Potential Future Breach of ESA Renders Provision Void
In Rutledge v Canaan Construction Inc., the Ontario Superior Court of Justice determined that even if an employee is exempt from certain minimum standards under the Employment Standards Act, 2000 ("ESA") a termination clause may be deemed void if there is even the possibility that it may violate the ESA in the future. This recent decision joins a growing body of case law from the Ontario courts which makes clear that even hypothetical deviations from the required statutory minimums are likely to be fatal to a contractual termination provision's enforceability and will expose an employer to liability for common law reasonable notice.
Canada: Ontario's Declared Emergency Ends: Implications for Employers
Bill 195, Reopening Ontario (A Flexible Response to COVID-19) Act, 2020 ("Bill 195") was proclaimed into force on July 24, 2020; the same day on which the provincial declaration of emergency established under O. Reg. 50/20 came to an end.
Under Bill 195, the Ontario Government is able to amend, extend, or revoke orders made under the Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act ("EMCPA"), even though the provincial declaration of emergency has expired.
The Government has exercised its authority under Bill 195 to extend various orders, including those relating to labour redeployment in long-term care and retirement homes, stages of reopening, compliance with public health advice, and public gatherings. A full listing of the orders that remain in force can be found on the Government's website.
Canada: Court of Appeal for Ontario Restates the Common Law of Reasonable Notice Following a Sale of Business
In Manthadi v ASCO Manufacturing, the Ontario Court of Appeal clarified how a sale of business affects the assessment of common law reasonable notice when an employee is dismissed by a successor employer. In particular, the Court confirmed that in the context of an asset transaction, an employee's length of service with the predecessor and successor employers should not simply be added together for the purposes of calculating reasonable notice. Rather, the Court reiterated its earlier pronouncement that an employee's service with a predecessor employer should be captured in the Bardal analysis by assigning appropriate weight to the employee's experience from which the successor employer benefited.

Canada: Federal Government Publishes Final Work Place Harassment and Violence Prevention Regulations
On 24 June 2020, the Federal Government published the final version of the Work Place Harassment and Violence Prevention Regulations under the Canada Labour Code (the "Regulations") to assist in the prevention of harassment and violence in the workplace in federally regulated workplaces prescribed under Part II of the Canada Labour Code. These Regulations will come into force on 1 January 2021, providing federally regulated employers with 6 months to implement changes to their policies. This version of the Regulations contains some significant changes to the earlier version of the draft Regulations circulated for comment on 27 April 2019 and summarised here.
These Regulations support Bill C-65, An Act to amend the Canada Labour Code (harassment and violence), the Parliamentary Employment and Staff Relations Act and the Budget Implementation Act, 2017 No. 1 ("Bill C-65") and will replace the violence prevention provisions of the Canada Occupational Health and Safety Regulations, the Maritime Occupational Health and Safety Regulations, and the On Board Trains Occupational Safety and Health Regulations.

Whether it's the Big Bash League (BBL) or their domestic competitions, the Australian cricket has produced some of the most memorable moments in cricket in recent times. From spectacular catches to bizarre dismissals, the cricket fans continue to be treated to the never-before-seen moments on the field.
Last month, Australia's Heather Graham claimed one of the most bizarre wickets when New Zealand's Katie Perkins played a shot which ballooned off the bat of her teammate Katey Martin at the non-striker's end and went straight into the hands of the Oz bowler. But, if that wasn't bizarre enough, Australian batsman Steve O'Keefe became the latest victim of a chaotic cricket moment.
During a Sheffield Shield clash between Victoria and New South Wales, O'Keefe came out to bat with a runner on Day 2 of the match at Drummoyne Oval after tweaking his hamstring. But, unfortunately, the former New South Wales captain forgot that he had his buddy running for him wide off the pitch.
After taking guard, the 34-year-old punched the ball towards mid-on for a quick single. But, rather than staying put at the crease and allowing his runner - Nick Larkin - to sneak a single for him, O'Keefe suffered a 'brainfade' as he began sprinting down the pitch. As Jon Holland made a diving stop, both O'Keefe and his runner were at the non-striker's end.
And, finally realising his blunder, O'Keefe turned and tried to run all the way back to the striker's end before Holland's throw caught him short at the crease. While the commentators repeatedly called it a "calamity", it was arguably one of the most comical dismissals you'd see on the cricket field.
Was most likely drunk again. He's got history.
Which brings us to our next point of discussion kids. Don't smoke crack.

Provincial Politics
Ontario poised to impose further restrictions to help contain COVID surge
Jan. 5 school reopening date also on the table, sources tell the Star
By Kristin RushowyQueen's Park Bureau
Robert BenzieQueen's Park Bureau Chief
Sun., Jan. 2, 2022timer4 min. read
updateArticle was updated Jan. 03, 2022
Premier Doug Ford huddled with his ministers for a rare Sunday cabinet meeting to debate imposing new restrictions — and possibly further delaying the start of school — due to skyrocketing COVID-19 cases driven by the highly contagious Omicron variant, sources told the Star.
With 16,714 new cases reported Sunday — a number that remained high despite new limits on PCR lab tests — the province also saw an increase of 10 patients with COVID in intensive care, to a total of 224.
Although schools are set to reopen on Wednesday, the province has been urged by some to impose new measures to help keep kids in class, while others have raised concerns about students returning right away.
A source told the Star late Sunday that delaying the school reopening date is now under consideration.
The possibility is sure to cause much confusion for parents, given that chief medical officer of health Dr. Kieran Moore announced the Jan. 5 back-to-school date only last week.
Both Moore and Education Minister Stephen Lecce, along with a host of pediatric experts, have repeatedly said that schools should be the first to open and the last to close down during the pandemic.
Education sources have told the Star that Ford wanted to keep child-care centres closed, and kids in kindergarten and Grade 1 home for two weeks to mitigate any post-holiday surge in cases. (Children under five are not eligible to be vaccinated.) But Moore and the province's science table of advisers resisted that move, sources said, and it was dropped.
Some of the measures now available to the provincial government include further limiting social gatherings, more caps on capacity at all retail stores and personal care services, and also setting maximum numbers for all religious services. Given an anticipated rise in hospitalizations, the province could also put non-urgent surgeries and procedures on hold, although there is already a huge backlog for MRIs and CT scans.
Amid speculation of capacity limits and that restaurants and bars could be closed for indoor dining, Dan Kelly of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business took to social media to say that "thousands of small businesses won't survive another round of lockdowns. Unlike March 2020, many are incredibly weakened after 2 years of painful restrictions. The average small firm has taken on $170K in COVID related debt. We cannot keep doing this."
New Ontario data released last week showed the risk of hospitalization or death from Omicron is 54 per cent lower than Delta. Hospitals have also been told to now differentiate between patients who are admitted for COVID and those who are hospitalized for other reasons and then happen to test positive for COVID, to help ensure more accurate statistics.
Moore announced last week that schools would open Wednesday, N95 masks would be provided to teachers and 3,000 additional HEPA air filter units would be distributed to schools. Some high-contact extracurricular activities are also to be put on hold.
The Ministry of Education has also asked boards to accommodate as best they can any new requests for kids to move to online learning.
On Sunday, Ottawa medical officer of health Dr. Vera Etches penned an open letter saying there were "many questions and concerns about the return to school planned for many next week" but that she supports the move because "children and youth have fallen behind in social and educational development. They have more mental health challenges — depression, anxiety, eating disorders, hospitalizations included" and because parents are also stressed.
Even though the "level of the COVID-19 Omicron variant in our community is very high … the information we have from throughout the pandemic is that schools being open is not a key reason for making the pandemic spread worse. In Ottawa, in December, with the Omicron variant circulating, the data showed that the COVID-19 rates grew in the community much faster than in the school population. Many of the introductions of COVID-19 into schools were related to transmission from social and sports activities outside of school."
Etches said she is "discussing with the province the urgent need to pause other activities to keep schools the priority."
Dr. Peter Jüni, the scientific director of the province's COVID-19 science table, previously told the Star that schools could actually be safer places for kids given they are supervised, cohorted and masked all day long, whereas at home they may be mixing with other kids for child care and not wearing masks.
He also said that the province should not close schools to in-person learning before implementing other restrictions.
Parents, teachers question whether in-person learning will be safe by Jan. 5
Prepare for more teacher, student absences, education ministry tells school boards
Staff are calling in sick by the hundreds during the Omicron wave and hospitals are feeling the strain
Toronto District School Board trustee Shelley Laskin sent out a newsletter to parents Sunday night, saying board staff worked throughout the weekend and that based on the most up-to-date information, schools would reopen Wednesday but child care and before- and after-school programs would resume as scheduled on Monday.
The board said it planned to have N95 masks for teachers by Wednesday, and "we were one of the first school boards to take ventilation seriously and the TDSB currently has more than 16,000 HEPA filters in all occupied learning spaces and additional units will be utilized to provide even greater coverage.
"Child-sized, high-quality three-ply cloth masks will continue to be provided, free of charge, to all students who need them," she wrote.
The Toronto board has also mandated vaccines for all staff, and, like all boards, is pushing for COVID vaccines to be added to the list of required shots for students.
The board is holding a special meeting on Tuesday to answer questions about school reopening.

One management technique that can be used to run a larger organization is what I call roll up weekly reports.
The reason they are called roll up is they start at the bottom or mid-level and everyone sends their report to their supervisor, sends it to their manager, sends it to their VP, till eventually it hits the CEO's desk.
One principle is the weekly report is a maximum of 24 lines long (that's how long my screen is and I don't like using the scroll button).
1. The organization typically has 3-5 large goals and there should be something addressing each one of these large goals.
2. The individual has 3-5 weekly goals, each one of those weekly goals should be addressed.
3. In the weekly report, the goals for the next week are also laid out.
4. I like a short section on things I don't know that the numbers don't say. For example information on a customer, opening a new location, or a competitor letting go staff or something else in the industry.
5. What you need from me. This is one way to get action from the manager or leader to help the person shake through and get things to the next step.
Roll up weekly reports are a great way to keep a sense of urgency in an organization as well as keeping things focused on the goals.
Interesting! - What is your take on timesheets for small businesses?
Lately we've been using a 'Rockerfeller habit' called the Daily Huddle. We report KPIs, roadblocks and other goals. Takes 10 minutes in groups of no more than 5. It has the same sort of effect for accountability, goal setting etc. Different twist.

Things are about to get UGG-ly: Australian Manufacturer Takes on US Giant in Bid to Invalidate 1985 Trade Mark Registration
August 31, 2016 Published by
While many would consider "Ugg" to be a generic Australian name for a certain form of footwear, it was in fact registered as a trade mark in the US back in 1985 by Australian entrepreneur Brian Smith.
The mark was subsequently sold to US footwear company Deckers, who have aggressively enforced the exclusive trade mark rights conferred in the US, and over 100 other countries worldwide, pursuing any company exporting overseas under the name 'Ugg' – not surprising given the company's Ugg boot sales revenue is reported to be over $1billion a year.
But Sydney based footwear maker Australian Leather, recently sued by Deckers in the US District Court for trade mark infringement by selling boots with the Ugg name overseas, is pushing back. It is countersuing Deckers, seeking invalidation of the mark on the grounds that the original registration was based on falsehood.
Lawyers for Australian Leather stated: "What we're alleging now is that the trademarks in the US are actually invalid, that they have been obtained through alleged fraud….If we can establish that case, then we are going to be seeking an order from the court that they be invalidated."
The case turns on the representations made by Mr Smith at the time of the original US registration. In his application, he stated there was "no significance of the term Ugg in the relevant trade or industry".
Not true, says Australia Leather, intending to lead evidence, including old advertisements, showing that the word Ugg was a household name in Australia by the 1970s, and that Australian companies were exporting Ugg boots to the US well before the application was lodged.
The lawyers believe Mr Smith's 2014 autobiography The Birth of a Brand states as much: "He talks about the fact that he knew quite well that the word Ugg was big in Australia at the time. That everybody in Australia owned these sheepskin boots".
Deckers has rejected the arguments and the stage is set for an interesting trade mark battle next year.

Wot, em amárico, ou "tsebi", em tigrinha, é um guisado de carne e vegetais, ou apenas de vegetais, durante o "jejum" dos cristãos etíopes. A sua característica principal, para além dos vários condimentos que leva, é começar por se assar cebola sem qualquer gordura, até ficar quase seca; só nessa altura se junta a gordura que, vai transformar a cebola numa pasta. Para os pratos de carne é tradicionalmente uma manteiga (ou leite) fervida em lume brando durante várias horas com várias especiarias (é equivalente ao ghee dos indianos, ou à manteiga-de-garrafa dos brasileiros, mas com um sabor especial), enquanto que para os wot vegetarianos se usa óleo vegetal.

Juntamente com esta gordura, podem juntar-se outros condimentos, como o berbere, uma mistura à base de pimenta, malagueta e açafrão indiano para um molho menos picante, ou sem nenhum tempero ("atkilt wot"). Depois junta-se a carne (galinha, cabra ou carneiro) ou peixe e vegetais como ervilhas, lentilhas, batatas, cenouras e folhas de beterraba-dourada; no caso do wot vegetariano, apenas os vegetais são cozinhados no wot.

Q: How put labels over stacked bar chart in ggplot2? I am following the explanation mentioned here about how to put labels in the middle of a stacked bar chart.
The labels are put on the right spots, but the bar chart is completely been shrunken. What am I doing wrong here?
When running this script without the labeling, it looks okay.
library(ggplot2)
library(plyr)
library(dplyr)

df <- structure(list(variable = c("name", "name", "name", "name", "name"
), score = structure(1:5, .Label = c("1", "2", "3", "4", "5"), class = "factor"),
    N = c(97, 82, 116, 131, 116), percentage = c(18, 15, 21,
    24, 21)), row.names = c(NA, 5L), class = "data.frame", .Names = c("variable",
"score", "N", "percentage"))

df <- ddply(df,"variable ", mutate, label=cumsum(percentage) - .5*percentage)

ggplot(as.data.frame(df),aes(x = variable , y = percentage, fill = score)) +
  geom_bar(stat = 'identity', position = 'fill')+
  #geom_text(aes(y=label,label=N), color='black') +
   coord_flip()

But if adding the labels, it doesn't look good at all:
ggplot(as.data.frame(df),aes(x = variable , y = percentage, fill = score)) +
  geom_bar(stat = 'identity', position = 'fill')+
  geom_text(aes(y=label,label=N), color='black') +
   coord_flip()

Do Your Kids Know How To React To A Smoke Alarm?
By Jennifer Mayerle February 22, 2016 at 10:58 pm
Filed Under:Fire
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — Families rely on a smoke alarm to wake them up in case of a fire at night, but will everyone hear the beep? That blaring sound of a smoke alarm may be loud and audible to an adult, but parents know, at times, kids can sleep through anything.
If you can't get to your kids to save them during a fire: Will they wake up on their own, and know what to do? The Velsor family allowed WCCO into their home to put their family to the test.
READ MORE: Minnesota Weather: Dangerous Wind Chills Return Wednesday
The Velsor kids are 10-year-old Logan, 4-year-old Mason and 2-year-old Easton. The kids, especially the older two, know fires are dangerous. They've had fire drills at school, and they've heard the smoke alarm go off in their home. The family has talked about a plan in case of a fire, but they've never put it to the test.
We put see-in-the-dark cameras in each of the kids' rooms to capture how they react when the smoke alarm goes off. The youngest kids sleep upstairs. Logan is downstairs.
"In a perfect world, they're going to follow the plan that we put together 3 or 4, 5 years ago, and they're going to meet us in the neighbor's driveway and leave everything behind," mom Amy Velsor said.
Once the kids are fast asleep, we sounded the fire alarm. After a minute, Easton was out of bed and heading for his door.
Mason stirred after a few minutes, but the 4-year-old laid back down and put the pillow over his head. At that point, 10-year-old Logan still hadn't moved.
"Children's sleep is different than adult sleep," Dr. Keith Cavanaugh with Children's Minnesota Sleep Center said.
While adults may jump out of bed, sleep experts warn children often won't hear or respond to the sound of a smoke alarm.
"Children get a tremendous amount of this deep sleep, and it's during this deep sleep when the body doesn't like to be bothered, and it really avoids or doesn't respond to outside stimulants and as a result that's a time when a child becomes very difficult to awaken," Cavanaugh said.
Fire doubles in size every 30 to 60 seconds. An entire room can be engulfed in flames and full of smoke in minutes. This troubles the Velsors, as their older kids sleep through the noise.
"It's concerning," Amy Velsor said.

Mason moved a bit more. Six minutes go by before he starts yelling.
"Stop it! That hurts," Mason Velsor said.
"He put his leg up in the air. I'm sure he's awake, it's just, bedtime, I'm supposed to be sleeping," dad Phil Velsor said.
He yelled at the alarm repeatedly for about 3 minutes until he finally comes out of his room.
"It's in my ear," Mason Velsor said.
"I know it's a loud sound. It's supposed to be there to wake you up," Phil Velsor told Mason.
Meanwhile downstairs, Logan got up a few times, rubbed his eyes, but never left his room. Eventually, he pulled the covers on his bed, and went back to sleep. He was still in bed after 15 minutes of the smoke alarm sounding.
"I'm a little disappointed that he went back to bed, because if this was an emergency we would have needed him out in the driveway," Amy Velsor said.
State Fire Marshal Bruce West says it's crucial for families to practice their escape plan, and to make sure kids know, and are familiar with, the distinct sound of a smoke alarm.
"It comes down to the practice so it's second nature for them. They hear it, they get out of bed, they get outside and they stay outside," West said.

West also said it's important to test a plan at least twice a year, and at different times of the day and night.

Audi QUATTRO: REVOLUTION
The Resistance: English Electric and the alt.bike underground
Written by Michael Fordham
English Electric is Britain's go-to retail and service centre for the emerging culture of electric motorcycles. With a background in the custom bike scene having founded Old Empire motorcycles in 2011, founder Alec Sharp made a bold move in 2017 when he decided to plant his flag in the Electric earth – augmenting and subverting the greasy, unsustainable certainties of the alt.bike scene. We caught up with Alec in the English Electric workshop and showroom and discussed the purity, resistance and wonder of an Electric biking's present and future.
Influx: Riding an electric bike is quite a 'pure' experience. All you have to think about is the ride itself. How would you describe the difference between an electric bike and a bike with a petrol engine?
Alec Sharp: Riding for a few years you realise that all bikes have their own unique character. And electric bikes are no different. Every bike has its own unique ride. Some will be louder than others. Some have gearboxes, so you hear a whine from cogs, or you can hear the belt mechanism as it winds. In terms of the actual riding experience, with no clutch or gears, I think it is a purer form of riding. You are really in tune with where you are riding, how you are riding. I think it improves your riding, and makes it easier for a lot of other people who are put off by a loud bike to get into motorcycling. We get a lot of negativity from people saying 'you will never catch me on an electric', etc and fair enough. But then these are the same guys who are saying: 'It's a shame there isn't any new blood coming into motorcycling'. Well maybe it's because most of the motorcycling demographic is of a certain age and gender, and when you think of a Harley, you think of big leather padding, big noise and all that machismo. But when you think of an electric motorcycle, can you stereotype that? Not really, not at the moment. So I think it opens motorcycling up to a lot of people, which is really important. It is something that me and Gary Inman at Sideburn spoke about, which was about getting people into tinkering with their bikes and into motorcycling, especially younger people. And I think that is another facet of the emerging culture of electric bikes. Gary, Sideburn and the flat track scene brought all sorts of people into motorcycling – and I think electric bikes will too.
What was your first thought about the resistance to the power of electricity?
AS: What I couldn't understand was why electric bikes weren't being embraced like I thought they should be. I was blown away by electric as soon as I had a go on one – and I presumed everyone would be. Most people's knowledge and viewpoint on electric bikes seems to be very outdated. People think 'battery power'; they think about the weight, they think they run out quickly, that they take a long time to charge, that they are expensive to replace. And yes, some of these elements are still the case, but things have come on leaps and bounds since the earliest days. And I think that is what is holding people back, because as soon as you go electric you can't help but be impressed. It was similar to the whole thing about hydrogen, where people were saying, 'why isn't hydrogen as popular as a viable alternative to combustion?', and the biggest problem is, the first thing that pops in people's heads when you say hydrogen is a bomb, so we have got some issues. But when you say electric to people, it is like utilities, appliances, it is not something that inspires any adrenaline or anything like that. And that is the issue. So the idea was, when we got set up, was if we can offer this opportunity for people to see us come from the background that we had, and get into electric, to see that actually there may be something more there than what we think, and take it from there.
So not all electric bikes are overly expensive?
AS: Price is a relative thing. The cheapest way to get on two wheels is to buy a second-hand combustion bike. You can get one for about £200, because they have been around forever. But the fact is that I can offer you a brand new electric scooter for commuting for £3,000, with a removable battery, a three-year 20 or 30,000 mile warranty on the battery, and two years on the bike. On a finance scheme, that works out at about £15 a month. To me, that is pretty affordable. It is more expensive than buying a £200 or £300 wreck, but that will probably crap itself down the line, and is going to be expensive to run, with MOT and everything else. We have the little Sur-Ron ones, which we sell loads of, that have a removable battery, they are around £4,000. You can get anywhere between 20 and 60 miles out of them, which is pretty reasonable, and you can 45mph top speed. The power delivery is phenomenal. All the power comes instantly, there are no gears and the bikes come with different rider modes. And a huge factor is the silence. We have a dirt track out the back, and a tap room next door. Over the summer we had events with 300-600 people, and we had 10 people riding round on Sur-Ron, and apart from seeing a helmet pop up and go down again, you wouldn't have known they were there! That's what I love, that's the real benefit to the electric is the noise factor. You can run at night, on a holiday, next to anywhere, and you don't have to worry about it.
Many people who ride bikes care about the heritage of the brand don't they? They might be great little machines, but a Sur-Ron doesn't have the caché of a Harley – or even a KTM – does it?
AS: That's true. Most mainstream manufacturers are looking into electric. Harley has released the Live Wire. Triumph, about a year or two ago, announced a five-year partnership with a university and a battery R&D company in Leicester to develop something in that period. Honda did an Electric CRF design, but we haven't heard much about that. All the brands have something in the pipeline, but no real firm, other than Harley, has had dates on releasing anything for production. I think the reason is because they are waiting for the market to mature. So what you will see is these smaller guys take the hit, make the mistakes. You might even see some of these guys bought up by the bigger manufacturers. I think, personally, that the electric has opened up an opportunity for smaller guys to get back into the market again. So, a real good comparison, I think, is the introduction of the combustion engine on a big scale, at a low price, in the late 1800s, anybody and everybody who was a bicycle manufacturer started putting engines in their bicycles. We used to do some research on old brands, and pre-WWI, I am sure there were hundreds of bicycle manufacturers who would buy a crate engine from JAP or whatever, and chuck them in a bicycle, and that was a motorcycle. I reckon on a monthly basis, there are at least two or three new startups offering different electrics.
How about the battery life question – and how green it actually is to ride an electric motorbike? There's a lot of controversy that at least at the lower end of the market, that electric push bikes become landfill very quickly, once the battery dies.
AS: We can see progression from E-Bicycle to E-Motorcycle. There are no real differences between the in-built redundancy of electric bikes than that of electric cars. The battery packs in nearly all electric motorbikes are removable, so we could take those batteries out of any of the bikes. Some of the lower capacity stuff comes with removable batteries as standard, so they are easily upgradable, easily fixable, easily replaceable units. A lot of our bigger bikes, which have bigger batteries, they are just not going to be as easily removable. For example, with the Zero bikes, the cradle that the battery is housed in can be replaced, and possibly upgraded in the future. The recycling of the battery and what happens with that is a completely separate issue. At the moment, there are only a handful of people that will deal with battery recycling. There is not a single company in the UK that will recycle it. All lithium batteries have to be exported to be recycled. This is obviously a significant cost. And when they are recycling them, at the moment, the average percentage of recycling is only 50%, so you will only get 50% back from that.
But by getting into electric bikes, it means that emissions are cut and that is after all the most pressing concern right here and now, right?
AS: Yes. I think it is important for people to understand that it is by no means a perfect process yet, but we are only in the first couple of decades of this completely new thing. So we are at the very starting point of something which can only get better and better, whereas whatever you do with combustion, you are still taking something out of the ground. So I think there is a lot more opportunity here. Electric bikes are all about building a different relationship with what it means to ride. You might not like the way a Tesla looks, but when you realise how well they go, you realise that the engine doesn't really have to be part of the experience. It is just as good as other proper cars, but it is just different. I don't think combustion and electric bikes should really be compared. The fact is, it is just a different motorcycle. It is not a replacement, it is not better or worse, it is just different. There are elements of it that will do things better, but honestly I don't think there is a better bike to commute on than electric. Imagine getting up to go to work on a Monday morning and you've always got a completely full tank? So apart from how fun these bikes are to ride, there's real power in that.

Commentary: Egypt's Impending(?) Coup
While I primarily seek to address philosophical and theological topics, sometimes I just want to write about politics. I do try to apply my theological, philosophical and scholarly training to the situations I analyze. I hope you enjoy, and maybe find something useful.
Jesus said to them, "Give to the emperor the things that are the emperor's, and to God the things that are God's." And they were utterly amazed at him. Mark 12:17 (NRSV)
I recently read an article on President Morsi's failure as a leader, and how it has led Egypt to the brink of political collapse. The author, Amotz Asa-el, argues that Morsi's mistake was the same that John McCain made in 2008: failure to recognize the importance of economics.[1] It occurred to me that this seems to be a chronic problem for religious politicians, whether Muslim Brotherhood or the GOP. —–"Now stop right there! The GOP is nothing like the Muslim Brotherhood. They aren't trying to overthrow democracy or impose a state religion; they defend democracy and the Constitution from bloated government budgets and power-grabbing." —- Yes, you are right. There has been a lot of loose talk for years equating Republicans with the Taliban, as if killing a boy for flying a kite was somehow morally equivalent to offering tuition vouchers for parents who want to send their children to religiously-run private schools. The GOP is not the Taliban. For that matter, the Muslim Brotherhood is not the Taliban, either. But in the politics of the Religious Right in the USA, there are faint echoes of other, more blatantly theocratic voices; and the lessons we can gain from Morsi might help the GOP as it undertakes its much-publicized self-analysis. More importantly, though, it might help all of us understand our world and ourselves a little better.
First, liberals need to admit that Republicans are not trying to establish a theocracy. Conservatives need to admit that there are many Americans, called "Christian Dominionists" or "Christian Reconstructionists," who do openly express the desire to use the Constitutional protections of free speech and freedom of religion to, in their own words, overthrow that same Constitution and establish a Christian theocracy; and furthermore, much of the Religious Right supports their agenda either entirely or in part, and the Religious Right in turn is the driving force among "social conservatives" within the Republican Party, so the views and policies of Christian Dominionism have an inordinate influence within the GOP even when the true agenda of the original purveyors of those ideas is not recognized. It is as absurd to say "Republicans are Christian Taliban" as it is to say "No Christian Taliban are Republicans." If "Christian Taliban" is popular shorthand for Christians who wish to impose a rigid, intolerant version of Christianity on the rest of the nation, either by force or initially through more subtle means, then there are "Christian Taliban" in the U.S. who are politically active within the Republican Party today; and there are many more who would not endorse their whole agenda or welcome the Dominionist end-game, but who wittingly or unwittingly ally with key parts of their agenda to impose their version of "God's Kingdom" upon the individuals and social institutions of this nation (such as weakening "the kingdom of education" through government financial support of private schools and home-schooling, with the ultimate intention to replace public education).
So let's admit that there are some relevant parallels between the methods and intentions of Islamists like the Muslim Brotherhood and some U.S. Republicans. Both groups are religiously motivated, and look to the next world rather than this one for their ultimate validation. Both believe that God has called them to use the political structures of secular democracy to establish a society that is more "scripturally based," though they disagree somewhat on what that means. And while they disagree as to which Scriptures should provide the foundation for society's laws and policies, the actual policies they advocate are very similar: suppression of homosexuality, government control of women's reproduction,[2] suppressing pornography,[3] suppression of scientific research and teaching,[4] laissez-faire capitalism,[5] and above all, suppression of religious nonconformism.[6] If a government is in place that will enforce proper values, God will be pleased and will bless the nation; so this-worldly solutions to problems like economic decline, environmental collapse or crime are misguided and unnecessary.[7] If a large portion of society seems to disagree and social unrest increases, that just shows how much we need to impose Godly rule on society; democracy leads to pluralism and disagreement, but if everyone would just convert to one religious code then all social unrest would cease. Besides, if I have declared myself and my friends as the Party of God, then anyone who opposes us is not just a political rival with different economic or moral theories; my opponents are ungodly, evil, symptoms of the cancer that is threatening our culture, and compromise with them risks drawing down the wrath of God upon myself and the nation.
I had written up to this point when the "threatened" coup became an actual "coup?" depending on the speaker. Whether diplomats call it a "coup" or not, we philosophers of a pragmatic streak tend to fall back on the logical principle, "If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck and lays eggs like a duck, it's a duck." I'm seeing just now an interesting op-ed piece on the New York Times editorial web page, that is agreeing with much of what I had thought about the Egyptian situation.[8] I am particularly struck by an argument which the author, David Brooks, borrowed from another author: that the Muslim Brotherhood, and any Islamist, simply denies causality since to imply the world was a causal system would diminish God's power. Instead, the Islamist simply rejects any fact that does not feel right. To switch to a Colbertism, the Islamist embraces truthiness rather than truth. My concern is that this is a universal trait of all religious ideologues, and that this same trait now drives much American politics, and that if we wish to understand ourselves or others we must understand the problems with religious politics. But I digress.
Morsi was done in by the fact that he is not a big fan of facts; he's a big fan of principles, theological principles, having little connection to the rule of the material world he was attempting to govern. My contention is that Morsi's ignoring of economic realities is of one cloth with other religious conservatives who ignore science or history at their whim (and their peril). A second problem with theocratic politics is that it protects incompetence in both theology and politics. A good example of this is Iraq's Muqtada al-Sadr.[9] Sadr was never a good seminary student, never much of a theologian, but he had his father's fame and his Iranian political connections to fall back on; in American terms, he sounds like the classic legacy student. These connections allowed him to build a political party and a brutal militia. And while the Sadrists were able to provide street-level services almost as well as the Americans could (and used their military force to prevent the Americans from providing better health and other basic aid to the people of Iraq, thus eliminating that source of competition), they were never very good at the basic work of government; but because so many of their followers are motivated by religious loyalty and piety rather than practical concerns, they have a solid political base. So Sadr covers for his theological incompetence with political clout, and hides his political failures under his religious mantle. He is not, however, the only current political leader to combine poor theology and poor management into a successful career, either in or out of the Middle East.
And thirdly, this is indeed poor theology. "Theology" is the attempt to take the religious revelations and teachings about the divine and present them in some sort of rational structure. Any sincere religious individual or community has had experiences where the simple, nursery-school theology that equates God with Santa Claus (or the djinn in the lamp, or whatever premodern, paganish gift-giving spirit is recognized in the culture) did not match up with the felt experience. Ultimately, in most major religions this leads to an attempt to set religious experience in a wider cosmic context, seeking to see the value of what is because it is while still seeking to make it better. Evil and suffering become not just uncomfortable facts to be ignored or misfortunes to be blamed on outsiders who don't believe as "we" do; they become challenges both to our own egocentrism and our own moral complacency, calling us both to humility and to moral action. But the same religious thinking that rejects causality also seeks to put God in a nice theological box, as if God alone were the only reality we could causally understand; if I do x, God will inevitably do y. If I drive out the gays, God will protect the nation for hurricanes and terrorist attacks. If I drive out the Christians, God will inevitably restore the nation to material prosperity and to its rightful, righteous place as the head of a worldwide caliphate. If I commit suicide while killing a bunch of God's enemies (who, big surprise, are also the very people I would have gladly killed on my own time), God will reward me with all the good things of this world which I didn't have but always lusted after (the ascetic Muslim fanatic sees God as a pimp who will provide unlimited sex, while the humble Christian sees God as a political powerbroker who will make him a ruler in the Kingdom of Heaven, with a golden crown and a gleaming throne). Instead of submitting to God's will, the theocratic believer temporarily submits to God in order to get God to submit to him later. That's not piety or love; that's trading. Piety says, "Many of the first shall be last and the last shall be first," and yet still strives to be one of the good ones who is "first" not out of an expectation of always being "first," but only out of love for the universe and its source and a desire to contribute to the task.
Both the Islamists and the American social conservatives have these shared traits: a rejection of the causal laws and material requirements of this world while simultaneously demanding rulership of this world; a tendency towards political and theological mediocrity while using power in one sphere to impose its will in the other; and a fetishism that seeks to turn the numinous and the holy into a lucky charm giving power to attain quite worldly and egocentric satisfactions. Morsi's problems were, thus, "in the cards," as an idiom based on another such fetishism would put it. Does that mean his overthrow is a good thing? Or is it the death of democracy in Egypt, and perhaps in the Arab world?
What is democracy? I would say that it is primarily a mechanism to prevent civil war, by allowing political disagreements and struggles to be carried out through political mechanisms rather than by force of arms. When the will of the majority is the guiding principle of the nation, and the desires of majorities are sufficiently met so that they still feel themselves to be part of the ongoing national project, the society works. The Muslim Brotherhood loved the part about the will of the majority being the ruling power, as long as they were the majority; but there were many other groups that still had both a vested interest in Egypt's national project and the power to express their desires. When the democratic processes were not sufficient to allow the Christians, the liberal secularists, the middle class in general to participate in the life of the nation, the official democratic structure was overthrown. But that does not necessarily mean a more informal democracy is not in action. In the U.S. we went through a period of anti-sedition laws, the Whiskey Rebellion, and other crises before we hit upon the Bill of Rights, including free speech and Church/State separation, to protect the rights of minorities while respecting the will of the majority. We still had a Civil War, which many millions felt was the death of democracy in America as the anti-slavery forces imposed their will by force upon people who thought their property rights over other people were both God-given and democratically established. Democracy survived and grew despite, and even because of this breakdown in democracy.
I regret the coup in Egypt. As someone more knowledgeable than I said some years ago, the Islamists have to be allowed into the democratic process, allowed to implement their policies, and shown to fail. As long as authoritarian means keep them out of power, they can blame the world's wickedness for everything. But the Islamist strategy, among diverse groups such as the Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas and even al-Qaeda, has been pretty much the same: promise an end to the endemic political corruption of their societies and provide basic social services from cooking fuel to hospitals, win elections because of the people's confidence that they will continue to provide for their social needs, and then use that power to put all those social services on the back burner while the "important" work of earning God's blessing by banning alcohol and requiring long beards and child marriage becomes the main national agenda. When the people protest that they signed on because of the promises of social services and not for forced social conformity, the religious longing for a holy war is awakened and the popularly elected theocrats resort to violence and warfare against their "enemies" both domestic and foreign. It would probably have been better to let the Islamists be defeated in an open election. But if Egyptians themselves decide that they have learned the lesson themselves and are ready to try for a true democracy, they can still attain a stable and modern society.
And I would say that the social conservatives and Religious Right in this country follow much the same pattern. In Texas, millions of taxpayer dollars are being spent on repeated special sessions of the state legislature, all in an attempt to ram through the virtual abolition of the right to choose abortion which the Supreme Court of the United States has affirmed is protected by the Constitution. The party that ran on the promise to save money is now spending it, not on badly needed social services but instead on a political power-play intended to impose a particular religious ruling on others.
Democracy works because it is responsive to the will of the people. As Amartya Sen argued in his Nobel-prize winning work, democracy is economically more powerful because any democratic system has to provide material prosperity; an authoritarian system can spend money on guns, on largesse for the political elite, on whatever it wants, but democracies have to provide economic development.[10] And democracy works politically because it creates buy-in among the citizens. When all, or as good as all feel they have a vested interest in the society and that it respects and represents their interests, there is loyalty among the citizens and a willingness to work within the governmental institutions and informal cultural systems; when sizeable numbers feel alienated and disenfranchised, they are likely to choose to opt out of the social contract through violence, crime and parasitism, or to de facto form a new community and attempt to overthrow their oppressive overlords. Democracy works best when it is a system for seeking consensus, for trying to reach the broadest possible appeal consistent with implementing workable policies; it starts to break down when ideologues and demagogues promise one thing (economic prosperity) but deliver another (shelving economic concerns and focusing instead on winning "the culture wars").
So is democracy dead in Egypt? If the Egyptian people believe it is dead. A true democracy would aim to create buy-in for Islamists, Christians, the poor, the middle class, the wealthy, men, women, everyone. Democracy used as a tool by theocrats has failed, since consensus and practical solutions to real-world problems was never a priority for Morsi; but that does not necessarily mean it can never work. Maybe this is more of a reset on the democratic project; I hope so, at any rate. Only a society that is truly responsive to its people's needs and in which citizens truly feel a sense of inclusion and joint responsibility can be truly stable.

[2] suppressing abortion of course, but also suppressing birth control generally, while limiting a woman's ability to work outside the household for the same pay a man would get, and so on.
[3] which always thrives when suppressed, but is more easily controlled by men; look at the widespread prostitution and pornography available both in the Victorian Era and in the 1950's
[4] specifically paleontology, evolutionary biology, astronomy and anything else that might lead to information conflicting with a prescientific, literalist interpretation of religious scriptures
[5] because socialism is unwarranted government interference on the rights of individuals and undermines the moral and religious value of charity, while government imposition of private virtue supports rather than subverts personal moral worth
[6] because "freedom of religion" means freedom of the right religion from oppression by all others; but freeing others from wrong religion, by law or force, is good; and the Islamist or Dominionist always is certain that his particular brand of religion is the unadulterated "good."
[7] For example, Pat Robertson famously blamed feminists for the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 and homosexuals for Hurricane Katrina, because God would have protected us from these things if only the nation had been governed according to the religious teachings of The 700 Club.

[10] This works, Dr. Sen argues, if the society is a true democracy, having not only free elections but also a free press, rule of law, and truly free markets not dominated monopolies (either government or private), foreign control (as in colonial India, which he analyzed extensively) or in any other way not really accessible to or controllable by the people themselves.

Assam: CM,123 MLAs cast votes for presidential election
AssamIndiaTop News
Guwahati: A total of 123 of the 126 Assam MLAs, including Assam Chief Minister Dr. Himanta Biswa Sarma, cast their votes for the presidential polls in the assembly on Monday.
Of the 126 MLAs, 123 dis cast their votes in the assembly while Congress MLA Bharat Chandra Narah has sought permission to exercise his franchise in the Parliament as he is in New Delhi for treatment.
Two AIUDF MLAs — Suzzamuddin Laskar and Nizamuddin Choudhury are currently outside the country.
CM Sarma, after casting his vote, tweeted, "I cast my vote for the 2022 presidential election."
Legislators of both ruling NDA and Opposition Congress and AIUDF were seen queuing on the assembly premises before voting began at 10 AM.
Most of the cabinet ministers and Leader of Opposition Debabrata Saikia have cast their votes, an official said.
AIUDF MLAs came in a group to cast their votes, but two of their 15 legislators will not exercise their franchise as they are away in Saudi Arabia to perform Haj.
Party supremo Badruddin Ajmal had earlier announced that AIUDF will vote in favour of NDA presidential nominee Droupadi Murmu, but a day before the election, changed the decision and said its lawmakers would vote for Opposition candidate Yashwant Sinha.
Several BJP MLAs had visited Ajmal's residence on Sunday requesting him to again change the decision and vote for Murmu.
Education Minister Ranoj Pegu said Murmu's victory is a foregone conclusion and it will better if all members vote for her.
An Assam MLA's vote is valued at 116 with the total value being at 14,616.
The ruling NDA has 79 MLAs, while three BPF members who support the alliance but have not formally joined it are also likely to vote for Murmu.
Congress has 27 MLAs but three of them have been suspended due to anti-party activities and they have not made it clear in whose favour they will vote.
A CPI (M) and Independent member have pledged their support to Sinha.
Congress MLA Bharat Chandra Narah, currently undergoing treatment at New Delhi, has sought permission to exercise his franchise at the Parliament.
Assam has a total of 21 MPs, 14 in the Lok Sabha and seven in the Rajya Sabha, and the total value of the votes is 14,700.
The ruling NDA has a total of 15 MPs, with BJP having 13 and its allies AGP and UPPL one each, while one Independent is also likely to vote in favour of Murmu.
Opposition Congress has three MPs, the AIUDF one and another Independent who has pledged his support to Sinha.

Augusta County Sheriff's Office plays the role of Santa
Brad Zinn
VERONA — For the fifth year in a row numerous members of the Augusta County Sheriff's Office, along with their families, helped spread Christmas cheer throughout the county Friday by delivering presents to children in need this holiday season.
Earlier this year, the agency reached out to the county's 18 schools in an effort to identify children who whose families might need a little extra help acquiring gifts.
"The schools gave us a list," said Lt. Leslie Snyder, a spokesperson for the sheriff's office.
Snyder said 103 children were receiving gifts this Christmas Eve through the gift delivery. The lieutenant has participated in past gift giveaways as well.
"It gives me great pleasure," Snyder said. "Because seeing them looking so happy ... and knowing we can make somebody's Christmas extra special means a lot."
Augusta County Sheriff Donald Smith said one of the reasons he initiated the program was to make sure less fortunate children in the community had constructive connections with law enforcement personnel.
"We started it to have positive interactions with kids who have had negative interactions with us" through no fault of their own, Smith said. The sheriff said it's important for children to see that his deputies are "humans like anyone else."
On Friday morning, dozens of sheriff's office personell and their families were at the sheriff's office in Verona gearing up for the numerous deliveries. Tables were jammed with wrapped gifts and new, shiny bicycles glistening in the morning sun were lined up and ready to go.
The sheriff said planning for the event began in earnest in October after the agency began receiving Christmas lists from the children.
"They've been wrapping stuff for weeks," Smith said.
Deliveries were slated to begin at 10 a.m. The holiday tradition is supported by numerous business in the area that donated to the cause, a press release said.
"Some of these kids, this is all they're going to get," Smith noted.
