Can electric scooters be legally driven on Ontario roads?

Each year new alternative vehicles and passenger carrying devices are created by manufactures to be sold to the public. However with each newly created method of transportation there is always the question of whether it complies with government regulations to be legally driven on the road. Here in Ontario all vehicles must fall into a vehicle classification determined by the Highway Traffic Act.

A common question that is frequently asked is if electric scooters and electric assisted Mopeds are legal to be driven on Ontario roads and the answer is, without a doubt, yes. The province of Ontario recognizes that these types of vehicles are growing in popularity in urban areas and as a result on November 21, 2005, Bill 169 titled ?The Transportation Statute Law Amendment Act? came in to effect. This bill implemented a pilot program that allows electric scooters and electric assisted Mopeds to be legally driven on the road provided that the vehicle meets specific safety and manufacturing standards.

In the act these types of vehicles are called e-bikes and require the following stipulations to be met before it can be defined as an e-bike:? The vehicle must be able to reach a maximum speed of at least 32 km/hour, it also must weigh no more than 120 kilograms, it must have a maximum braking distance of 9 metres and prohibits any modification that can be made to the motor that could allow the vehicle to exceed its maximum speed of 32 km/hour.

In order to receive a license to operate an e-bike on the road the operator must be older than 16 years of age and must wear an approved bike or motorcycle helmet. The operator must follow the same traffic laws as cyclist and is not be permitted on 400-series highways, expressways or other areas where bicycles are not allowed.

Egypt: Judges withdraw from trial of 16 Americans

CAIRO (AP) ? All three judges on Tuesday pulled out of Egypt's trial of 43 pro-democracy workers, including 16 Americans, according to a court official, throwing into question the case that has ripped U.S.-Egypt relations.

The defendants are charged with using illegal foreign funds to foment unrest that has roiled Egypt over the past year. The pro-democracy groups and the U.S. flatly deny the charges, and U.S. officials have hinted that foreign aid to Egypt is in jeopardy.

Lead Judge Mohammed Shoukry said Tuesday that "the court felt uneasiness" in handling the case, according to the court official. He did not elaborate.

The official said new judges will be assigned to the case. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to reporters.

The trial has proceeded only as far as its opening session, and it would need to be restarted with a new panel of judges. Coupled with indications that the two countries are trying to find an acceptable resolution to the crisis, it was seen possible that the trial might be called off at some point.

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton told two Senate panels on Tuesday that the United States and Egypt are "in very intensive discussions about finding a solution."

"We've had a lot of very tough conversations," she said. "We're moving toward a resolution."

"It's important that they know that we are continuing to push them," she said.

Egyptian lawyer and rights activist Ahmed Seif al-Islam said it was hard to interpret what was behind the resignations.

He said that judges pull out of cases over relationships with defendants or their lawyers. In other cases, especially the political ones, judges might feel pressure and prefer to stay away.

"In general, the main reason is that the judge feels that he cannot act as a real judge, and his rulings would be unfair or influenced," Seif al-Islam said.

The affair began in December when Egyptian security raided 17 offices of 10 pro-democracy and human rights groups, confiscating documents and equipment. It led to charges that the groups have financed protests over the past year with illegally obtained funds and have failed to register with the government as required.

The groups insist their financing is transparent, and all their efforts to register have been stalled by the Egyptian government.

The charges dovetail with constant pronouncements from Egypt's military rulers that protests against their rule are directed by unnamed, dark foreign forces, a claim that is ridiculed by Egyptian activists.

Furious over the charges and travel bans against civil society workers, the United States has threatened to cut off aid to Egypt, putting at risk $1.3 billion in military aid this year and another $250 million in economic assistance. Egyptian officials claim the matter is entirely in the hands of the judiciary, and many of them view the U.S. threat as unacceptable meddling.

The trial began Sunday, but the foreign defendants were not present. Shoukry declared a two-month adjournment to give lawyers time to read the case files, said to be in excess of 1,500 pages, and for authorities to find interpreters for non-Arabic speaking defendants.

Of the 43 defendants in the case, 16 are Americans, 16 are Egyptians, and others are German, Palestinian, Serb and Jordanian. Of the 16 Americans, seven have been banned from leaving Egypt, among them Sam LaHood, son of Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood. Several have taken refuge at the U.S. Embassy in Cairo.

The 43 worked for the International Republican Institute, the National Democratic Institute, Freedom House, a group that trains journalists and a German nonprofit organization. If convicted, they could face up to five years in prison.

Carnival of Personal Finance: The Little Prince's Journey to ...

Once upon a?time, in a far away kingdom, lived a Little Prince and his Wise Wizard. The King, who is very old, wanted to make sure his Little Prince is ready to take over the mantle of ruling the kingdom before he puts?the Little Prince?into the will [Sustainable Personal Finance]?He is rightfully concerned about the generational differences when it comes to debt [Yes I Am Cheap], and so he asked the Wise?Wizard to help the Little Prince get to the Land of Financial Enlightenment. ?I don?t want him to grow up all silly nilly about money! What if he marries a princess who buys purses?all the time?[Diva in Debt] and go broke?! I need him to be a good leader and understand investments [Grow Money]??said the King.??HMPH. That?s playing into gender stereotypes [My Broken Coin],? the Wise Wizard said, ?but I will help the Little Prince reach his destination and understand financial matters in relationships [Busy Executive Money Blog].?

And so the Wise Wizard and the Little Prince set out on their journey. Along the way, the Wise Wizard tried to impart words of, well, wisdom to the Little Prince.

?To reach your Findependence Day [Boomer & Echo], you must overcome obstacles and learn to figure out for yourself what truly matters in life,? the Wise Wizard said.??But I already know the 10 Commandments to Growing Wealth [Wealth and Wise],? said the Little Prince, ?This will be an easy journey.?

?It is not enough to simply know, you must also act,? The Wise Wizard explained, ?let me tell you about all the obstacles you will encounter.?

?Having pride in yourself and work is a good thing, but never be too proud to shop at discount stores [See Debt Run]. Along the way to Land of Financial Enlightenment, you might see alluring images of fast cars and pretty women [Saving Advice], but driving an uncool car is actually awesome [Graduating with Surplus]. If you stick to the 20% rule [Your Life, Their Life], you?can help you achieve your goals more quickly.?

?But I KNOW all these obstacles already,? the Little Prince said, for he was a very smart Little Prince. ?I?ve read about them in books and on blogs. I?m a great student [Humble Savers].? The Wise?Wizard shook his head. You can?t just understand the numbers (although that is very important) ? you have to modify your behavior [Consumerism Commentary] to make lasting change. Sometimes, you have to experience things ? losing money in the stock market [Million Ways to Save], fall victim to price anchoring? [Smart on Money], co-signing a loan [Christian Debt Coach], and?marrying for money [Nicole & Maggie] before you learn what works and what doesn?t.?

?Getting to Financial Enlightenment doesn?t sound much fun,? said the Little Prince, ?I like to look good and enjoy my life.???You can!,? insists the Wise Wizard, ?you can?make fashion affordable [Everything Finance], you will live longer! [Squirrelers], and if you make good choices, you will be able to?become a?stay at?home dad [Tie the Money Knot] if you wish.? The Little Prince wrinkled his nose. ?But I killed my last three goldfishes,? he said. ?Er, well, don?t quit your day job yet [My Money Design]!? sighed the Wise Wizard.

As the two walked and walked and walked along the road to Financial Enlightenment, they talked and talked and talked.

The Little Prince asked, ?the Land of Financial Enlightenment is when I finally get RICH, right?? The Wise?Wizard chuckled. ?Money isn?t the only measure of success [Barbara Friedberg Personal Finance], in fact, money is just a tool. Once you build your foundations [Free Money Finance], you will be able to use money to do what you really want to do in life ? whether that?s to spend more time with your future Princess, create more buildings for the royal grounds, or contribute to charity [Mrs. Nespy's World]. There are tools to help you do this: automating bill payments [Budgeting in the Fun Stuff], taking advantage of payroll tax cuts [Novel Investor], selecting a good IRA?company?[Qwoter], and taking advantage of no?balance transfer fee credit cards [Wallet Blog].?

Finally, after many days of study, the Little Prince was ready for his important interview?[Adjunctorium] with the King. The King quizzed him on all he has learned, from tax reporting forms[Nerd's Eye View], to renters and laundry fees [Start Talking Cents], to tips for easier budgeting[Money Talks Coaching], to using Google Docs spreadsheet for investing?[My Journey to Millions], to?making extra money?[Bible Money Matters], to chargeback?policy report [CardHub]. The King asked about the general economy?[Narrow Bridge Finance], the local economy[Debt Black Hole], evaluating intangibles [Pinch That Penny], and when DIY works and when?DIY doesn?t?[DollarVersity].

The Little Prince was able to answer the King?s questions flawlessly. He gave the King?the low down on RESP plans [Young & Thrifty], discussed the rules of career reinvention [Afford Anything], explained the virtues of saving paper [Funny About Money],?talked about the benefits of getting a 60 month auto loan [Familyancial Wealth,?listed?ways to save at the gas pump[Personal Finance Success], ran over reasons why a home inspector [Happy Homeowner] is necessary, and even explained?how to find jobs using social media [One Cent At A Time]. The King knew nothing about social media or SEO keywords [Mike & Molly's House], so he was very impressed indeed!

?You seemed to have learned a lot,? said the King, ?I want to reward your?efforts [Money Cactus].? Then the King, confident that the Little Prince can handle his finances, gifted him real estate [Investor Junkie], bonds [Dividend Growth Stocks], bond funds [Control Your Cash], and even shares of Ford stock [Dividend Monk]!

?But wait!? The Little Prince interrupted, ?I haven?t told you what I REALLY learned yet.? ?You haven?t?? The King was confused. ?But you talked to me about knowing when to adjust your budget [Evolving Personal Finance], learning a foreign language?[Darwin's Money], evaluating Betterment?[Dough Roller]. You showed me how you improve your credit score [Financial Highway],?save [PT Money], buy travel insurance?[One Frugal Girl], and?use a rewards credit card [Rewards Cards USA]. You even have the discipline to hide money ? from yourself [Frugal Cool]. It sounds to me that you have achieved Financial Enlightenment.?

?All that is important,? the Little Prince admitted, ?I did learn about tax forms?[Free From Broke], Social Security [My Dollar Plan],?Bank of America Add It Up Rewards [Financial Product Reviews], and dividend investing?[Dividend Growth Investor], I learned about what happens in Chapter 11?[Prairie Eco Thrifter], when to cancel my credit card [Help Me Travel Cheap],?and how to?save for the holidays [Net Worth Journey]. I even learned about unconventional investment moves [Invest It Wisely]. But I don?t want to get tunnel?vision when it comes to my finances?[Money Beagle]. Because what the Wise Wizard taught me was that financial enlightenment is about making decisions so you can live the best life you can, and have your spending and finances reflect your priorities.?

The King smiled! The Little Prince has passed his test. He knows that the Little Prince has a bright financial future [Watson Inc], and for that he is happy. The Wise Wizard?is also happy. In fact, he?thought,??Maybe I should start?my own financial firm [Good Financial Cents]!?

Wartime President: We should NOT have apologised for Koran burning, says Santorum

?Danger - if you meet it promptly and without flinching - you will reduce the danger by half. Never run away from anything. Never!? ~ Winston Churchill (thanks to Infidel4life)

The world marches to war. The West maybe be weary but it better be ready. The situation has been made far worse by Obama's foreign policy of appeasement and in many cases tacit support. Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran, Gaza, Egypt ....it will all converge. We must hve a string hand in the White House.

War is imminent. According to the SUN, Britain is drawing up plans to send hundreds of troops and an extra nuclear sub to the Gulf as tension mounts with Iran. "Defence chiefs are convinced the UK will be swiftly sucked into any new conflict with Tehran's fanatical regime. They say it is a matter of WHEN not IF war breaks out - with 18 to 24 months the likely timescale"

The leader of the free world's stategy? In order draw Iran into talks, Obama is avoiding dealing with Syria.

Avoidance, aid, abet, backdown. That's Obam's four-step plan.

We have got to throw this spineless, gutless saboteur out in November. It is the defining moment in history in this early part of the twenty first century.

Anyone but Obama - anyone (except Ron Paul, of course.)

We should NOT have apologised for Koran burning, says Santorum as another eight Americans are hurt inAfghan quran protests

Sixth day of violent protest follows burning of Korans at U.S. military base

Rick Santorum says Obama should not have apologised

Eight American soldiers wounded and two protesters killed in northern Afghanistan today

Two military advisers executed yesterday at the Interior Ministry. The killer is still on the loose

International advisers pulled from Afghan ministries

Death toll reaches 30 since protests began on Tuesday

Santorum says that rather than saying he was sorry, Obama should have only acknowledged that burning copies of Islam's holiest book in a trash pit was wrong and taken responsibility for the incident, 'but to apologise, I think, lends credibility that somehow or another that it was more than that.'

Fired up: Activists of Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz burn an effigy of US President Barack Obama during a protest in Quetta after American troops burned copies of the Koran

Santorum is the latest Republican to criticise Obama for apologising for burning the religious materials. Despite apologies from the president and other U.S. officials for what they said was a mistake, their regrets have not quelled the anger of Afghans, who viewed the Quran burnings as an illustration of what they perceive as foreign disrespect for their culture and religion.

Today's protest turned violent as 400 demonstrators stormed a U.S forward operating base in the northern province of Kundaz's largest city. An official says people in the crowd fired on police.

NATO's International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) confirmed there had been an explosion outside one of its bases.

The latest casualties came as Afghan authorities launched a massive manhunt for a suspect in the execution of two U.S. military advisers yesterday in the Ministry of the Interior.

'There is a suspect who is an employee of the Interior Ministry. He has been identified. Right now the police are trying to arrest him. He is on the run,' the Afghan Interior Ministry said in a statement, citing initial findings by investigators.

In an unprecedented measure all NATO personnel have been recalled from Afghan ministries.

About 30 people have been killed in the violence since it emerged Tuesday that copies of the Muslim holy book and other religious materials had been thrown into a fire pit used to burn garbage at Bagram Air Field, a large U.S. base north of Kabul.

Four U.S. soldiers are among the dead, including two killed earlier in the week by an Afghan soldier.

Before the negotiation - Business Identification Blog

1. The bank-firm relationships should be based on mutual trust. The record and previous experience, coupled with the mutual understanding between the company and bank are assets to be valued. The last of the company for help, but no guarantee of future.

2. Do not ever lie to a bank, our credibility would be damaged.

3. There must be clear that to address a successful negotiation and enduring in time we must understand that the bank also has to make money.

4. The credit operations are the core business of financial institutions. A bank tries not to take risks in lending money. This is common to any other company. Banks also try to reduce the risk of default.

5. For if anyone had any doubts, banks do not help anyone.

6. Branches are evaluated and rewarded by the returns that contribute to the entity.

7. Define the number and type of banks with which we work. It is important to choose the type of bank that need national, international, large, small, with a large number of branches, operating over the Internet, personal attention, expertise, and so on.

8. It is important to have a banking pool consisting of more than a financial institution, so we covered before the policy changes that they can undertake. In addition, having more than one allows us to compare conditions and services. A bank never wants to be the sole financial provider of a company. I always prefer to share risks.

9. Working with a large number of financial institutions creates significant administrative work that we must weigh the potential benefits. Banks do not look good that the company works with too many banks, excessive banking business deal makes the company less attractive as a client.

10. Listening to all banks that are knocking at our door, it?s good to know the news that we propose, the policies they pursue. We never know who and what we need. This also helps us to know the industry and have personal relationships with people who work in it.

11. Be aware of the smaller banks and or need to break into markets where they have no roots because they can be at any given time more competitive. A single entity may provide better conditions for her new markets than in markets where already established.

12. It should be clear about the financial policies of the company before you start trading: investment policy, financing policy and dividend policy.

13. Demonstrate a degree of loyalty in banking relationships

Preparing for negotiation
14. Negociar ahead, anticipate future financial needs both long and short term.
15. define what services and products need to negotiate with banks.
16. Treat with appropriate banking partners, depending on the volume and nature of credit transactions.
17. The fee to which a bank is generally comfortable in a business is between 25% and 35%.
18. The financial institutions know the share of business it has with the company does business. This information is obtained from the credit bureau Bank of Spain.
19. negotiate with the banks providing a guaranteed turnover during the term of the agreed conditions. No auction the banking business.
20. When a bank risk analysis considers: the fate of the money, the repayment capacity and the guarantees it takes to hedge against the risk of default.
21. A bank repayment capacity analyzes discounting free cash flow the company generated cash flow of the current debt. Be clear on this point the difference between profit and cash flow (free, debt and shareholder).
22. Financial institutions do not assume any risk without the existence of a security. Nor do when only the guarantee but not the ability to repay debt. The maximum guarantee for a bank is the mortgage, which link a real estate asset to debt repayment.
23. Knowing the limits of authority in granting credit you have the partner bank we dealt with (director of branch, zone or territorial).
24. Find out what products and concepts more impact on the remuneration of our interlocutor.
25. It is recommended, prior contacts with a new financial institution, make him see a clear readiness to conduct operations for the same service who require us to lower prices.
26. The best place for the negotiation are the offices of the company. It is a good time to teach our partners the company premises so they know firsthand the business.
27. Seek to respect the agreed dates for the meeting. Cause change bad impression on several occasions.
28. When ask for a credit transaction must be submitted to several entities at once and let them know every one of them. In this way we do in competition between them and the way we cover ourselves with the assumption that request into a single entity and that we refuse it. This is usually not disturb the banks see it as a matter of course by the company.

Building Community At Habitat For Humanity: MOTHERHOOD AND ...

Today?s story is about motherhood and Habitat.? It?s about a new mom who realized that even though she left her career to be a stay-at-home mother, she could still use her talents to help others.? This story is about Brady?s mom, Christine Catanella.?

Once upon a time, Chris was a professional event planner.? Last year, after Brady was born, she left her ?paid? job to be home with her son.? At that time, Chris? found a new way to use her event planning skills.? She offered them to Burlington County Habitat for Humanity and became the Chairperson of their annual fundraising gala.?

I asked Chris why she chose to volunteer at Habitat.?

It turns out that her own family was involved with Habitat International when she was growing up and they traveled around the world building houses in Guatemala, Ecuador and Nicaragua. It shaped her life and the person she grew up to be.? It even led her to join the Peace Corps.??As Chris looks back on this experience and remembers building homes alongside of her parents, she feels grateful to Habitat for teaching her so much and she wants to ?give back? to Habitat.

A Family Friendly Organization Chris wants Habitat and the idea of volunteering to be part of Brady?s life.?? She wants to teach him at an early age the importance of making a difference in the world. Although she obviously cannot bring him to a Habitat build, she brings him to meetings and events or when she has to work on mailings. She believes that Habitat welcomes both of their contributions.? Brady is the perfect ice breaker and donations typically increase whenever he?s around!

It takes almost a year to plan the gala and Chris?s job is to work with the Outreach Committee members to put a strategy together for a theme, location, sponsor, donations and entertainment.

This year?s theme is? High Heels & Hard Hats??and will take place on March 24^th at the Laurel Creek Country Club in Mount Laurel.? Chris expects to have about 200 people in attendance and her goal is that everyone will leave saying what a fun time they had. The event will include cocktails, hors d?oeuvres, dinner, a silent auction, dancing, basket raffles and special guests.?

Chris encourages other new mothers who are looking to be part of an important cause to call Habitat at 856-303-8080 to find out how they too can use their skills?and talents to help out at the gala or to volunteer at Habitat throughout the year.

Monitoring of Muslim students sparks outrage (AP)

Infrastructure Control ? If you?re coping with personal computer networking, technologies, sites and substantially far more, you?ll must have total control more than updating and significant processes that make them function. This is in particular correct if you?re running a shopping cart software program on your web-site. With no manage, you will not be moving forward with infrastructure. For instance, if the network goes down at any offered moment, you?ll end up having peace of thoughts mainly because you?ll be able to get your web-site back in operating order right away, as an alternative to having to wait for the tech team to arrive in the workplace.

Your tasks won?t be related to technology, and rather your small business can move forward with relative ease. In-house staff normally times have much more work to do than just concentrate on the managing of technological advances, which can from time to time bottleneck particular elements of infrastructure. By removing that element, and receiving a service, you may make sure that enterprise is moving forward at all hours with the day as well as night if need to have be.
The aforementioned reasons are just a number of examples to think about when deciding no matter if or not to employ an IT company for laptop or computer assistance services. Services are varied and you can find a lot extra arguments each for and against hiring outsourced IT providers. The above are just a couple of reasons that should really aid preserve you motivated in hiring a team that is definitely currently operating in technology, as opposed to trying to build a ?dream team? for yourself. You could invest month following month wanting to figure out who to decide on to come on board and assist together with your tech demands, or you are able to let the authorities manage your desires with relative ease. By hiring an outside firm, you can also be saving a tremendous amount of capital that would otherwise be spent on an in-house IT SW11?department. The long term savings will trump the expenses which you would need to invest in obtaining and forming a right team to manage all tech assistance. Outside firms have knowledge and staff to deal with any and all demands that arise, so your company is covered.
