“It’s definitely going to change the way we investigate things,” Kent said. “If we’re looking for a vehicle in a parking lot, and it’s backed into the parking spot so you can’t see its license plate, it’ll increase our time investigating. It’ll take more time. We’ll have to get out and look at it.”

The 790 would become a project bike, making it necessary to keep the Duke in our stable for as long as possible. We’ll start with our modifications the way many new bike owners do, by installing factory accessory parts before branching out into the aftermarket in future installments. That’s the plan, and we’re sticking to it – at least until KTM demands their bike back. 

St. Peter: An invasion of gnats is presenting a risk to the health and lives of livestock in this southern Minnesota town. The Mankato Free Press reports that gnats cause weight loss and stress for any animal with their bites and by gathering around eyes and in airways. Brooke Knisley, who runs an organic produce farm with her husband in St. Peter, says one of her friends has lost 16 chickens to the gnats this year. Knisley says she’s trying to reduce the risk for her own flock by running fans in the chicken coop, hanging fly strips and placing vanilla-soaked rags near where the gnats congregate. Gnats are also an irritant for cattle and horses, and many owners are keeping their animals inside until the invasion passes.

The bare walls of the chamber are covered in cave art: spray-paint markings in blue, red, apple green, nuclear yellow. The rock is adorned with numbers, pictograms, lines, arrows, and other codes I cannot decipher.

Richmond: The state plans to mark four centuries of black history with a new exhibit and a tribute to tennis star Arthur Ashe Jr. The exhibit begins with the 1619 arrival in Virginia of the first enslaved Africans in English North America and continues all the way to the present day. “Determined: The 400-Year Struggle for Black Equality” will open Saturday at the Virginia Museum of History & Culture in Richmond as the city officially dedicates Arthur Ashe Boulevard. Renowned civil rights activist Rep. John Lewis of Georgia will be the keynote speaker. The exhibit features dozens of artifacts to tell the story of black Virginians, including slavery-era restraints, an African-inspired banjo and a stool from a Richmond lunch counter where students held a sit-in to protest segregation.

The Akropovič slip-on’s power curve almost exactly mimics the OEM curve, only slightly worse.

Jonah Weese and a passenger were hospitalized after driving into a ditch to avoid the slow-moving tractor in Fryeburg.

It’s a pretty daunting pile of numbers, so let’s break it down into standard prose, rating each browser as we go:

Pay attention. We are serious. Sending this message was significant for us. Ours was considered an important culture.

I happened to be walking in my kitchen when my Cuisinart tea kettle (Fig. 1) started to make a hissing noise. Smoke began pouring from the base. I rushed over, unplugged it, noticed it was boiling hot, and filled it with cold water. In retrospect, I wish I had just let it burn, to see if its safety features would prevent a house fire. Go easy on me, when an electrical engineer sees smoke, they just have to do something.

“It’ll be one of those things where we’ll look back and be like, ‘Man, if only we had the front license plate,’” Napier said.
