Teaching and learning, concept mapping, economics, student
Economics can be taught and learn better using different teaching strategies. Concept mapping is one among others in teaching-learning economics. This study aim to investigate the effect of using concept mapping in teaching-learning economics. The study was carried out in XI Arts at one higher secondary school under Thimphu Tromde, with 35 students. The study was a mixed method. The quantitative data was collected through autumn class test (pre-test) and class test (post-test). The pretest and post-test data were analyzed and interpreted using descriptive statistics via mean, standard deviation, and inferential statistics via t-test and level of confidence and statistical significance. The qualitative data collected though observation of group works and presentation, and group reflective journal were analyzed by coding and thematic analysis was drawn to analyze the data. The findings showed concept mapping is effective in teaching-learning economics and students has positive opinion towards concept mapping usage. Concept mapping help students to understand and remember economic concepts and enhances descriptive ability. Students also said that the use of concept mapping build confidence to participate in the classroom and enhanced long-term retention power. However, the finding also revealed that all economic lessons cannot be taught through concepts mapping.

Home / News / World Trade Center beam in Brewer offers residents a place to reflect on 9/11 attacks
World Trade Center beam in Brewer offers residents a place to reflect on 9/11 attacks
BREWER, Maine — A warped 6-foot section of steel inside Brewer's Public Safety Museum is a symbol of much more than the building it once helped support, said Mainers who came to look at the beam Tuesday on the 11th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
Visitors examined the beam, ran their hands along its surface and thought back to the day it fell. They said it represented the loss, tragedy and heroism of that day.
The beam was once part of a massive, 135-ton section of steel between the 74th and 78th floors of the South Tower, which was hit by the second plane shortly after 9 a.m.
Nearly 3,000 people died in the 9/11 attacks, including more than 340 firefighters, 60 police officers and emergency medical technicians.
"It was an emotional day not just for us in the public safety field, but for all Americans," said Brewer firefighter Kevin Thibodeau, who guided visitors on tours of the museum and shared the beam's story.
Visitors shared stories of where they were on the day the towers fell.
Gerard Bilodeau of Belfast said he was teaching at Gardiner Area High School on Sept. 11, 2001, and that he learned of the attacks when he got in to work. No classes were taught that day, and students and teachers spent most of the day quietly watching the news unfold.
"The whole day was just in limbo," Bilodeau recalled.
Gerard's wife, Ellen, was in New York City attending school during the late 1960s and early 1970s. She watched the towers go up.
"It was a feeling of shock" watching the the towers crumble in 2001, she said.
"Kind of feels like a little piece of home," Ellen Bilodeau said while looking at the beam.
Several people who went to the fire station on Tuesday said the day's weather brought back even more vivid memories from Sept. 11, 2001. They said the weather bore remarkable similarities to the day 11 years ago — the clear blue skies, the cool temperatures.
Firefighters from all over Maine — including Brewer — volunteered to go to New York City after the twin towers fell, but the National Association of Firefighters sent out a message that put them in a holding pattern because of the influx of volunteers.
The Brewer Public Safety Building has three pieces of the World Trade Center's twin towers on display to honor all who lost their lives in the Sept. 11 attacks.
The largest World Trade Center relic on display in Brewer is an 18-foot-long section of a steel beam that still bears the yellow stenciled lettering it had when it was installed during the towers' construction in the late 1960s and early 1970s. It is displayed in the fire station's truck bay.
The second piece, part of the towers' aluminum exterior, is displayed on the Police Department side of the complex, and the third piece is housed in the museum.
Brewer Fire Department Capt. Brent Melvin, police Sgt. Rich Smith and Nickerson & O'Day President and CEO Karl Ward went in October 2008 to Hangar 17 at John F. Kennedy International Airport, where what remains of the buildings is stored, to select the pieces.
"It's really hard to describe how it made us feel" standing inside the hangar, Melvin said at the time. "It was kind of like we were on sacred ground.
"It's still very real," he added.

Winning Her Love - It's tough!
Your deepest thoughts; let her know.
the small things that you do.
Show your love for her is for keeps.
Am I the most beautiful?
Officially I am also a poet now. Wow! Who would have thought that "only a couple of novels old - popular fiction writer," would suddenly decide to branch out and become a poet too. My publishers in my best interest, warned me that it might actually dilute my image as an unconventional fiction writer.
When and how the set of 40 poems were written and completed…I never realized. But once the collection was there in front of me…I could do nothing but take the next step and get them published. It was not an easy process. I was told that Poetry does not sell in India. Everyone I knew or approached told me so. My determination grew with every negative response. Finally and fortunately, things just fell in place on their own. And I decided to go ahead and self publish the book. (The book with its attractive cover page, cheerful title, apt illustrations with each poem and cost effectiveness, makes it extremely appealing to the youth and curious minds).
The release of the book was also a proud moment for me, one that I will always cherish. I was invited by my alma mater as a Guest of Honour for a "National Seminar on poetry," held on Feb 10,2012, which in itself was a huge honour. I decided to release my collection titled "Poetry Out and Loud" during the inaugural function of the prestigious event. My ex Principal graciously agreed to let me not only launch the book during the inaugural function of the event but also released the same himself along with the Vice Chancellor of Jabalpur University. It was a well covered event and I could not have asked for a better way of bringing it out. I shall always remain deeply grateful to my ex Principal, Fr. Davis George and my College for presenting me with this wonderful opportunity.
It's indeed my good fortune that I was smoothly able to bring out the collection despite reservations by many of my well wishers and even industry insiders about the viability of this project.
Would the book sell? Would a country that has recently woken up to reading books especially fiction (courtesy a few contemporary writers who set the trend with their informal, conversational style stories that struck a chord with the young Indians readers like never before), pick up a book of poems, let alone read it? After all, Poetry is seen as something uncool, complex, boring, subdued and for the literati circle.
All such questions and many more need to be answered and hopefully they will be in the coming months. "POETRY OUT AND LOUD" is out. It is being discussed and talked about though in limited circles right now. Hopefully, with the right kind of platform and visibility, it will attract young India towards Poetry reading and writing both.

MDA Seeks Patient Input for First Pompe Disease Drug Development Meeting in Washington
by Hawken Miller
Click here to subscribe to the Pompe Disease News Newsletter!
The Muscular Dystrophy Association is set to host the first Pompe disease Patient-Focused Drug Development (PFDD) meeting next year to inform therapy developers, regulators, and other stakeholders about the experiences of Pompe disease patients and caregivers, as well as their expectations for future treatments.
Patients and family members interested in serving as panelists in the March 9 event in Maryland, or want to suggest topics of discussion are invited to fill out this online survey by Friday, Dec. 13.
The meeting, approved late last month by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), will connect patients, caregivers, medical professionals, and pharmaceutical companies through small presentations, panel discussions, polling questions, and a Q&A session. The daylong conference will focus on the daily impact of living with Pompe — a rare genetic disorder that occurs in one in 40,000 births worldwide.
The New York-based Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) is partnering with the Acid Maltase Deficiency Association (AMDA) and United Pompe Foundation (UPF) to bring the Pompe disease community to Washington, D.C.
"We're honored to bring this patient community together in collaboration with AMDA and UPF, and to have leaders from the FDA and physician community join us to discuss this serious neuromuscular disease," Kristin Stephenson, MDA's executive vice president, chief advocacy and care services officer, said in a press release.
PFDD meetings were authorized by the FDA Safety and Innovation Act of 2012. The agency added externally led PFDD meetings in 2015, which are conducted by outside organizations such as the MDA.
The information from these meetings "is really critical to the FDA as well as biopharmaceutical manufacturers in ensuring that therapies that will be developed, and the therapies that will be approved, are as patient-friendly and as patient-focused as possible," Paul Melmeyer, MDA's director of regulatory affairs, told Pompe Disease News in a phone interview.
AMDA, based in San Antonio, Texas, hopes the meeting will shed light on what Pompe patients go through, the organization's president, Tiffany House, said in a phone interview — "whether that be our experiences with the diagnostic process and living with Pompe today, or our hopes for the future."
One enzyme replacement therapy — Lumizyme, developed by Sanofi Genzyme — is currently on the market to treat Pompe disease, and was approved in 2010. It's marketed in Europe under the name Myozyme.
Several new gene therapies in the pipeline are addressing the defective acid alpha-glucosidase (GAA) gene, the cause of Pompe.
In February, Actus Therapeutics announced that its Phase 1/2 trial started dosing patients with its investigational ACTUS-101, a potential one-time gene therapy for late-onset Pompe disease.
Moreover, Audentes Therapeutics recently submitted an investigational new drug application for its Pompe disease gene therapy AT845, currently under review by the FDA.
Avrobio is also developing a gene therapy for Pompe Disease (AVR-RD-03), with preclinical results in a mouse model showing a favorable safety and efficacy profile.
Following the PFDD, MDA will publish a Voice of the Patient Report, which includes data from polling done throughout the meeting, and key takeaways. The FDA has directly cited the report in its previous approval letters, Melmeyer said.
The MDA has scheduled its Engage Pompe Symposium for March 8, which "offers opportunities for individuals just to get to know each other and break down the barriers rare diseases can sometimes create," Melmeyer said.
MDA will compensate attendees for lodging, with travel stipends available for those needing assistance.

FOOTBALL WOMEN ARE WAY AHEAD OF HILLARY
KEN HOUSTON
Hillary Clinton's minders had, symbolically, booked a building in New York with a glass ceiling in anticipation of her acceptance speech as the first female president-elect of the USA.
This, one assumes, was to signal that with a woman holding the key to the White House, the glass ceiling on females had been pierced. In an abstract sense this would have been true but in a global sense business has already left politics behind in breaking the ceiling, and in the most unlikely places too.
Last week I wrote about the Hibernian FC cup-winning manager, Alan Stubbs, and his premature decision to be lured into the bear pit that is The Championship in England.
Although missing out on his priority of promotion, Stubbs brought a sense of renewed pride and purpose to Easter Road; at least on the field.
Perhaps of even more importance, however, is the chief executive, Leeann Dempster (pictured), who has been a steady hand on the administrative and financial tiller.
Last year's share issue raised £500,000 and a second in February enabled share buying on the internet, the intention being not just to bring in finance but increase supporter interest in – and consequently loyalty to – the club.
Dempster's arrival at Hibs (from Motherwell where she held a similar position) is generally seen to have had positive benefits, something mirrored on the west side of Edinburgh where the owner and chief executive, Ann Budge, first saved then turned round Hearts.
Recently the club was granted planning permission for a £12m replacement for the 1914-vintage Archibald Leitch stand, which will be the final part of the wholesale modernisation of Tynecastle.
So there you have it. Two steely women at the head of two companies in a sector of business that is more male-dominated (and misogynist) than any American political organisation.
Eat your heart out, Hillary.

Parole Denied to Four Violent Offenders | Jan. 7, 2020
Montgomery, Al. – The Alabama Board of Pardons and Paroles denied parole Tuesday to four violent offenders and granted parole to one.
Parole hearings scheduled for Tuesday, Jan. 7:
(Sentencing information from the Alabama Department of Corrections public website.)
PAROLE DENIED: Darren Dwight Anderton is a sex offender. The Marshall County Sheriff told WAFF Television Sept. 9, 2010 that Anderton sexually abused a five-year-old girl. He was sentenced to four years in 1996 for that first-degree sexual abuse and two years for criminal possession of a forged instrument. WAFF reported Anderton was arrested in Marshall County in 2010 for failing to register as a sex offender. He was granted probation, but media reported that he was arrested on May 21, 2013 on a probation revocation case. Anderton is currently serving a 17-year prison sentence for having twice violated the sex offender registration law in Cullman County in 2014. He has served less than six years of his 17-year prison sentence.
PAROLE DENIED: Timothy Lee McNeese has violated both parole and probation during a long criminal career that has seen him convicted of crimes in Madison County seven times. He was first convicted in 1999 for theft of property and given a one-year sentence. McNeese was sentenced in 2001 to 15 years for second-degree burglary and resentenced to five years for the 1999 theft of property conviction. In 2012 McNeese was sentenced to 15 years for a criminal possession of a forged instrument case from 2008 and a fraudulent use of a credit card case from 2007. He was paroled but then sent back to prison for violating parole. Public records show he was granted probation for one of his crimes but was arrested in 2013 by Huntsville Police for violating the terms of his probation. After being released from prison yet again, he was sent back to confinement in March 2019 for five years after being convicted on two counts of drug possession. He has served just 10 months of the five-year prison term.
PAROLE GRANTED: Esteban Altamirano Jr. was sentenced in 2015 to 10 years for trafficking cannabis, and three years each for convictions for drug possession and obstruction of justice, all in Marshall County. He was given probation but was arrested May 10, 2015 by the Marshall County Sheriff's Office for violating the terms of his probation, along with two bail jumping felonies, according to the news organization QuadCitiesDaily.com. Altamirano has served only half the 10-year prison term.
PAROLE DENIED: Mark Steven Boshell is a parole violator who has been convicted of crimes in Walker County eight times. He was sentenced in 1998 to three years for third-degree burglary. Just five months after he was sentenced, Boshell was paroled. He was back in trouble again a few months later when he was arrested for criminal mischief. In 2002 he was sentenced to five years for theft of property and two drug convictions, and three years for the 1999 criminal mischief case. Boshell was convicted again on two drug charges in 2004 and sentenced to six years. He was charged with manufacturing a controlled substance in Walker County and was sentenced in 2014 to 20 years in prison. He has served less than seven years of that 20-year prison sentence.
PAROLE DENIED: Mark Andrew Jones was sentenced in 2012 to 15 years in prison for trafficking methamphetamines and manufacturing a controlled substance in Houston County. In 2012 he was arrested for drug possession and sentenced to a third 15-year prison term. He has served eight years, seven months of the 15-year term.

Thermal and Hydraulic Performances of Porous Microchannel Heat Sink Using Nanofluids

Published Online: January 12, 2022
Microchannel heat sink is an effective method in compact and faster heat transfer applications. This paper numerically investigates thermal and hydraulic characteristics of a porous microchannel heat sink (PMHS) using various nanofluids. The effect of porosity (γ = 0.32–0.60), inlet velocity (w in = 0.5–1.5 m/s), and nanoparticle concentration ( ϕ =0.0025 – 0.05) on thermal-hydraulic performance is systematically examined. The result shows a significant temperature increase (40 °C) of the coolant in the porous zone. The pressure drop reduces by 35% for γ = 0.32 compared to the non-porous counterpart, and this reduction of pressure significantly continues when γ further increases. The pressure drop with w in is linear for PMHS with nanofluids, and the change in pressure drop is steeper for nanofluids compared to their base fluids. The average heat transfer coefficient increases about 2.5 times for PMHS, and a further increase of 6% in h ¯ is predicted with the addition of nanoparticles. The average Nusselt number N u ¯ increases nonlinearly with Re for PMHS. The friction factor reduces by 50% when γ increases from 0.32 to 0.60, and the effect of nanofluid on friction factor is insignificant beyond the mass flowrate of 0.0004 kg/s. Whilst Cu and CuO nanoparticles help to dissipate the larger amount of heat from the microchannel, Al 2 O 3 nanoparticle appears to have a detrimental effect on heat transfer. The thermal-hydraulic performance factor strongly depends on the nanoparticles, and it slightly decreases with the mass flowrate. The increase of nanoparticle concentration, in general, enhances both h ¯ and ΔP linearly for the range considered.

Numerical and Parametric Investigation of the Effect of Heat Spreading On Boiling of a Dielectric Liquid for Immersion Cooling of Electronics

In a two-phase immersion cooling system, boiling on the spreader surface has been experimentally found to be non-uniform, and it is highly related to the surface temperature and the heat transfer coefficient. An experimentally obtained temperature-dependent boiling heat transfer coefficient has been applied to a numerical model to investigate the spreader's cooling performance. It is found that the surface temperature distribution becomes less uniform with higher input power. But it is more uniform when the thickness is increased. By defining the characteristic temperatures that represent different boiling regimes on the surface, the fraction of the surface area that has reached the critical heat flux has been numerically calculated, showing that increasing the thickness from 1 mm to 6 mm decreases the critical heat flux reached area by 23% at saturation liquid temperatures. Therefore, on the thicker spreader, more of the surface is utilized for nucleate boiling while localized hot regions that lead to surface dry-out are avoided. At a base temperature of 90 oC, the optimal thickness is found to be 4 mm, beyond which no significant improvement in heat removal can be obtained. Lower coolant temperatures can further increase the heat removal; it is reduced from an 18% improvement in the input power for the 1 mm case to only 3% in the 6 mm case for a coolant temperature drop of 24 oC. Therefore, a trade-off exists between the cost of maintaining the low liquid temperature and the increased heat removal capacity.

Experimental Investigation of the Effect of Heat Spreading on Boiling of a Dielectric Liquid for Immersion Cooling of Electronics

This paper investigated the effect of heat spreading on the boiling of the Novec 649™ for two-phase immersion cooling of electronics. Reference pool boiling tests were performed by attaching a 25.4 mm by 25.4 mm square copper plate to a same-sized heater, thus minimizing lateral heat spreading. Experimental measurements showed that the critical heat flux (CHF) happened at a heat flux of 17.4±0.8 W/cm 2 . Then, lateral heat spreading through the heat spreader was studied by attaching larger (47 mm by 47 mm) spreaders with four different thicknesses to the copper plate. With an increase in the integrated heat spreader (IHS) thickness from 1 mm to 6 mm, the CHF increased by more than 60% at the saturation condition. One plate was a 1 mm-thick IHS removed from a commercial microprocessor. In this case, the CHF happens at 8.6 W/cm 2 (50% lower compared to the reference case) in the saturation condition. At CHF, the boiling can be observed on the whole surface, with columns and slugs regime at the center and the fully developed nucleate boiling regime at the edges. This nonuniform boiling was more pronounced in subcooled conditions, in which the CHF occurred at the center while there were regions at the edges that had no boiling. Finally, the performance of a microporous-coated IHS (with 3.15 mm thickness) was compared to the 6 mm thick IHS. The thermal resistance was almost equal for powers above 200 W. This indicates that lateral heat spreading is a critical parameter for the thermal design of immersion cooling along with microporous coating.

Piezoelectric fans are low-form-factor cooling devices, which have gained recent attention for electronics cooling. These devices feature a vibrating blade, which sheds vortices from its tip during its motion. The performance of a piezoelectric fan is based on its location, orientation, and operating condition. Thus, we investigated the heat transfer and flow field of an impinging flow produced by a piezoelectric fan. The heat transfer tests are conducted using a vertical, 2.54 cm × 2.54 cm copper heater, which is configured with the piezoelectric fan positioned along its centerline. The fan is operated at its fundamental frequency of 60 Hz, where it achieves maximum heat transfer and fan deflection. There is significant heat transfer degradation with increasing heater-to-fan spacing and off-resonance operating conditions. To better understand this thermal performance, we require information about the flow field produced by this pulsating flow. Hence, we performed particle image velocimetry (PIV) measurements of the flow field for free and impinging cases with different heater-to-fan spacing. We used instantaneous and time-averaged PIV to depict the response in a region within approximately two times the fan oscillation amplitude. In this region, there was a stagnation flow close to the heater, which would result in significant heat transfer. However, this flow also featured high-magnitude velocity vectors towards the sides of the heater rather than towards its center, which would likely result in non-uniform heat transfer.

Impinging synthetic jets have been considered as a possible solution for cooling miniature structures. It has been shown that synthetic jet performance is sensitive to the distance between the jet nozzle and the target surface where enhancement of heat transfer decreases with a reduction in nozzle-to-target plate distance. At low nozzle-to-target spacing, no detailed information about the momentum and temperature fields have been shown in prior literature, therefore further investigation is needed. In this study, a 3-D computational fluid dynamics model was constructed to determine the flow and temperature fields of a meso-scale synthetic jet at a nozzle-to-target surface spacing of H/D = 2, Re D,j = 1400 and f = 500 Hz. Unlike the majority of previous computational studies, rather than specifying the boundary conditions at the nozzle, the flow inside the synthetic jet device was solved by specifying the time dependent boundary conditions on the vibrating diaphragm and utilizing the moving mesh technique. Local surface pressure and heat transfer coefficient distributions were determined and discussed. It was found that the pulsating flow at the nozzle exit for a round jet generates vortex rings and these rings seem to have some considerable effects on the target surface profiles.

With the inherit advantages of air cooling, jet impingement can produce a factor of two or higher heat transfer than conventional fan flow over bodies. Therefore, impinging jets can solve a number of electronics thermal issues. Those jets produce complex flow and thermal structures leading to non-uniform and non-monotonic profiles on target surfaces. A numerical study is performed to investigate the flow and heat transfer characteristics of an unsteady laminar impinging jet emanated from a single high-aspect ratio rectangular (slot) nozzle in a confined arrangement. The spacing between the target plate and the nozzle is such that the jet would still be in its potential core length as it was in a free axial jet. Following the initial transients, flow and heat transfer parameters still vary considerably in time that the instantaneous and time-averaged values of surface profiles are not identical. Instantaneous surface pressure distributions exhibit that the stagnation point translates periodically around the initial jet-symmetry line and the surface profiles demonstrate off-center (non-stagnation point) peaks.

Bavaria's polling stations open in elections with a national effect
The polling stations of Bavaria opened today at 06.00 GMT to celebrate the regional elections of this prosperous "Land", considered of great relevance for the government of the German chancellor, Angela Merkel.
Some 9.5 million voters are summoned to the polls, in a poll in which polls suggest that the Bavarian Social Christian Union (CSU), a member of Merkel's conservative bloc, will lose an absolute majority.
The Social Democratic Party (SPD) is predicted to lose its status as second force in the "Land" and will be overtaken by the Greens.
The Bavarian party, the dominant force in this prosperous federal state since the 1960s, has been awarded a poll of 33 to 35% support, which will be a record low for training.
The SPD, a partner in Merkel's grand coalition, is expected to receive 12%, while the Greens are predicted 19%, a historic maximum for this match in the traditional Bavarian "Land".
It is estimated that the far right Alternative for Germany (AfD) will enter the regional chamber with 10% support, the same percentage that is given to the Free Voters – CSU decision -, while the Liberal Party (FDP) would remain in 5.5%.
If confirmed these forecasts, CSU will be doomed to seek alliances and, barring surprises, it does not seem that it will have enough with the FDP, party with which it governed between 2008 and 2013.
Apart from the expected shock to the Bavarian political spectrum, the elections will foreseeably affect the grand coalition between the conservative Merkel bloc and the Social Democrats, which was sealed in March after a laborious negotiating process.
The alliance has been weighed down by frequent crises and threats of rupture, mainly by the leader of the CSU and Minister of the Interior, Horst Seehofer.
The Greens, on the other hand, are preparing to celebrate the boom drawn by the polls, both in the Bavarian elections and in terms of the intention to vote on a national scale.
According to estimates of public television ZDF, until yesterday there were 40% of citizens who have not yet defined their vote and who could make it way to the ballot box.
The polling stations will be open until 16.00 GMT.

Peter Jackson and Saoirse Ronan being interviewed at the premiere
Wellington played host to some of Hollywood's biggest names at the New Zealand premiere of Peter Jackson's film, The Lovely Bones.
The film had its New Zealand premiere on 14 December 2009 at Wellington's renowned Embassy Theatre in Courtenay Place.
Among the 758 guests to appear on the red carpet here were film director Peter Jackson, Oscar winner Susan Sarandon, Oscar nominee Saoirse Ronan, and Kiwi stars Rose McIver and Carolyn Dando. Other guests included New Zealand comedian Rhys Darby and film director Taika Waititi with James Rolleston, star of the New Zealand feature film Boy.
The stars of the film and special guests walked the red carpet from the corner of Blair Street and Courtenay Place to the Embassy Theatre. An estimated 5,000 fans had the opportunity to see them and collect autographs on the red carpet.
Based on the critically acclaimed best-selling novel by Alice Sebold, The Lovely Bones centres on a young girl who has been murdered and, from heaven, watches over her family and her killer. She must weigh her desire for vengeance against her desire for her family to heal.
The Lovely Bones went on to be released in New Zealand cinemas on 26 December 2009.
This New Zealand premiere was the fifth red carpet celebration held at the Embassy Theatre since the Australasian premiere of the first The Lord of the Rings films in 2001.
The royal film performance and world premiere of The Lovely Bones was held in London on 26 November 2009.

PEHA je slovenská hudební skupina, která vznikla v roce 1997 v Prešově. Je jednou z nejpopulárnějších slovenských hudebních skupin poslední doby. Texty pro skupinu píše, až na výjimky, Vlado Krausz. Zpěvačkou, spoluautorkou a autorkou hudby kapely je Katarína Knechtová. Manažer skupiny Petr Tureček působil ve skupině Peha v letech 2003 - 2008.

Historie
Skupina PEHA se na slovenské scéně objevila v dubnu roku 1997. Její začátky jsou spojeny s vydavatelstvím Škvrna records. V roce 1998 byla podepsána smlouva s firmou Sony Music Bonton. V lednu roku 1999 vznikla a do rádií i televizí se dostala píseň Diaľkové ovládanie, která se stala po dva měsíce nejhranější písní na Slovensku. Dalším úspěšným singlem byla píseň To sa Ti len zdá a v září roku 1999 bylo vydáno první album Niečo sa chystá. V létě roku 2000 skupina koncertovala na turné se skupinou Nocadeň a po turné začala připravovat druhé album. To bylo vydáno až na jaře 2001 a nese název Krajinou. Pilotním singlem se stala písnička Hlava vinná, telo nevinné. V tomtéž roce dostala Katarína Knechtová ocenění Aurel 2001 v kategorii nejlepší zpěvačka. V roce 2003 bylo vydáno album Experiment, kde pilotním singlem byla skladba Naoko spím a velkou pozornost si vysloužily i zadumanější skladby Len tak ísť, Hypnotická nebo Slnečná balada. Na jaře roku 2004 kapela koncertovala v rámci turné se skupinou Chinaski. Další v pořadí již čtvrté řadové album bylo vydáno v roce 2005 už pod novým vydavatelstvím Universal Music a jeho název je Deň medzi nedeľou a pondelkom. Za toto album a úvodní singl Za tebou získala Peha 4 sošky Aurel 2005 v kategoriích nejlepší zpěvačka, nejlepší píseň, nejlepší album a nejlepší kapela. Na Slovensku bylo album za prodejnost oceněno Platinovou deskou a v Česku Zlatou deskou. V listopadu roku 2006 vyráží kapela na koncerty v rámci Rubikon tour se skupinou Kryštof. Tomuto turné předchází vydání retrospektivního alba Best Of u bývalého vydavatelství Sony BMG. Rubikon tour vrcholí 9.12.2006 koncertem v pražské T-Mobile aréně před více než 9000 diváků. Závěr roku 2006 je korunován výrazným přílivem českých fanoušků kapely. K tomu se navíc alba Deň medzi nedeľou a pondelkom a Best Of drží v prodejnosti v českých žebříčcích IFPI kolem 15. místa a skladba Spomaľ devět týdnů nepřetržitě vedla žebříček nejhranějších skladeb v českých rádiích. Začátkem roku 2007 dosahovala prodejnost alba "Deň medzi nedeľou a pondelkom" v českých zemích "triplatiny", tedy přesahovala 30.000 prodaných kusů. Kapela vystupuje na slavnostním večeru k předávání hudebních cen TV Óčko v pražské Lucerně a vyhlášení hudebních cen časopisu Report v Plzni. V průběhu jara absolvovala PEHA turné po českých koncertních sálech s mimořádným diváckým ohlasem a to včetně pražského dvojkoncertu v Paláci Akropolis.

Hi, I'm an expat living in Malaysia and I bought my B-King in Singapore (I live about 10 mins from the border). I have been "in love with the B-King" since it came out. Years ago I tried to buy one for a big bike trip in the US (2007) but couldn't find one and ended up getting a Kawasaki ZX14 (that I still have). But when we moved from Nigeria to Singapore/Malaysia, it was finally time to get my "ultimate" bike.
Suzuki B-King (almost 1 year now) the completely standard silver model.
In 2008 I rented a B-King for a long weekend (850 km in 3 days) and was soo impressed with its handling, power, ease of riding that I decided that looks and performance are perfect for me. I'm quite tall and can still comfortably ride it for hours and hours. But since Nigerian traffic is quite "crazy" I decided that riding a bike there wasn't the smartest thing to do so I stuck with my Range Rover (Supercharged). I still have a Range Rover as well (5.0 SC model) so you could say I'm a bit of a power junkie.
Since I worked in Singapore and we have only one car (the Range Rover is not here yet) I used the bike to commute and I must say it did REALLY well apart from overheating in the border traffic on the Singapore side. I'm not sure what caused it but maybe someone on the forum can give me some tips on how to improve the cooling capacity of the B-King. I had a radiator guard on it and I removed it but haven't been able (thankfully) to test it sitting in the border traffice with hundreds of motorbikes.
I also forgot to say, I plan to slowly turn it into a B-King black over time.
And I installed a Scottoiler on the new chain as well.
Pretty rare pipes... Thats is going to be very hard with microns as they are out of the business and you can get them only 2nd hand.
Hello! Singaporean riding a black B-King here!
Cool, I'm just living across the border and riding a silver / black B-King with Singapore plates (bought it in November last year). Do you ever come over to Malaysia for riding here ?
Enjoy Canada mate, that is a brilliant place, I love it. Where in Canada are you at the moment ???
I haven't done any riding "for fun" sofar, only going to work (not anymore since the second link is now far worse for bikes than for cars). Getting the B-King (it had a bit of a hard life by the looks of things, footpeg ends broken of, generator cover has a crack and scrapes) sorted now. Ordered a new alternator/generator cover (cheap Chinese one, hope it is decent quality), Micron exhaust cans paid for and should be here in Feb (with a friend from Canada ). Did a service, filters/oil, chain and sprockets, Scottoiler etc.).
Next on the list is doing some beautification, blacking things out with vinyl gloss carbon wrap and some nice little bits (brake/clutch handles, steering cover, fluid reservoir covers etc.). Just giving it some TLC and removing the scars of neglect of the previous owner(s).
I also want to make a nice black (carbon gloss wrap covered) cover to hide the HID light gubbins that are now visible between the handlebars and the instrument cluster. Probably even wrap the IU (Singapore E-toll gadget). Or maybe I'm just going to remove it and make it a quick connect type thing or mount it under the pillion seat.
It will need some more covers done and other stuff but that can wait till I'm working again .
Anyway, the bike is now more for fun (and I plan to keep this one for a LONG time, maybe "forever") than going to work so the TLC is definitely worth it.
Wow! thats alot of things to do mate!
Im currently in Oshawa, Ontario.

I am at the central, living in seremban. Its just 2 hours ride with the king, still enough to squeeze in a coffee and cig break ..


In an effort to improve the power and run-time capabilities of its 18-volt Lithium-ion FatPack™ batteries, Bosch has recently unveiled a 5 amp-hour (Ah) version. According to Bosch, it's the lightest, most compact and longest run-time FatPack-style battery on the market, and it's hitting Bosch retailers this month.
The new BAT621 5.0 Ah FatPack battery is especially designed for tools such as rotary hammers, impact drivers and reciprocating saws on which pro users depend every day. It contains state-of-the-art high capacity and low resistance lithium-ion cells that exceed the overall output of current 4.0 Ah batteries by as much as 25 percent. It also features Bosch's CoolPack™ heat conductive housing, designed to help keep the internal cells cooler during use. Bosch reports that CoolPack can help extend the recharge life of the battery by up to 100 percent over similar batteries without this feature.
Yet, despite the increased amp-hour capacity of the BAT621, it maintains an identical size and weight footprint of previous Bosch 4.0 and 3.0 Ah batteries. It also comes with a fuel gauge that provides instant evaluation of how much charge is left. The new BAT621 5Ah FatPack battery has a retail price of $129, and it's compatible with Bosch's full line of 18-volt lithium-ion powered tools.

Aurizon targets workers as dud investments bite
Aurizon has declared that workers will pay the price for the company's failed investment in a Pilbara iron ore mine.
Aurizon - which was inducted into the RTBU's Hall of Shame last year for terminating 12 enterprise agreements through the Fair Work Commission – now admits that its $210 million gamble on Aquila Resources was a mistake.
According to the AFR, the company's original $210 million investment has turned into a $270 million black hole.
But Aurizon has told investors it can make up for the losses by by sacking more workers and cutting costs.
RTBU National Secretary Bob Nanva said workers should not be the fall guys for problems created by bad management.
"Aurizon's poor financial results have not been caused by difficult market conditions, they have been caused by the breathtaking incompetence of the company's senior management.
"You didn't need to be Nostradamus to predict that Aurizon's $210 million in Auquila Resources, when the iron ore market was already showing signs of massive over-supply, was going to go pear-shaped.
"In fact, at the time the RTBU warned that Aurizon's investment was a disaster waiting to happen.
"Now the company has blown the whole lot, and another $60 million on top of that.
"It is absolutely disgraceful that workers are being made the scapegoats for Aurizon's poor management."

How to Draw a Hedgehog
The hedgehog is a small mammal native to Europe, Asia, and Africa. This animal is unique in that its back is covered in thousands of hard spines. When it feels threatened, the hedgehog rolls into a ball, presenting only unappetizing spines to its attacker.
Unlike porcupines, the spines of the hedgehog do not come loose and lodge in the skin of an attacker. They are not to be confused with the similarly spined echidna, an egg-laying mammal native to Australia.
Why is it called a hedgehog? The term "hedge" was used because the nocturnal animal often spent its days under hedges or shrubbery, and "hog" because of its piglike snout. Hedgehogs are insectivores, meaning they eat insects. Did you know? a group of hedgehogs is called an array.
Today, people may keep the hedgehog as a pet, but it also appears in popular culture. Sonic – a blue cartoon hedgehog who can run at lightning speeds – is likely the most famous hedgehog in the world with his companion Shadow claiming a close second.
Long before Sonic was introduced to the world in 1991, Beatrix Potter, author of The Tale of Peter Rabbit, wrote of a different hedgehog character in The Tale of Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle.
Would you like to draw a hedgehog of your very own? Doing so is easier than ever with the help of this simple, step-by-step drawing tutorial. All you will need is a pencil, a sheet of paper, and an eraser. You may also wish to color your finished drawing.

Step by Step Instructions for Drawing a Hedgehog
1. Begin by sketching the hedgehog's face. Use overlapping curved lines to craft the side of the face, the upturned snout, and the lower jaw.
2. Begin to sketch the hedgehog's fur. Above the head, use short, curved lines that meet in jagged points to indicate the shaggy fur. Do the same below the head, indicating the fur of the chest and belly.
3. Continue to use short lines of various lengths to craft the fur and pointed spines. Enclose the entire form of the animal in this way.
4. Detail the hedgehog's face. Draw two big, watery eyes, using a circle within a circle for each. Draw an oval and a smaller circle within the inner circle, and shade around these to form the pupil. For the nose, draw an oval at the tip of the snout. Draw a small circle to indicate shine, and shade the nose.
5. Draw a series of short, curved lines connected in jagged points above the face and down the side of the animal. This separates the sharp spines above from the soft fur beneath.
6. Draw "V" shaped lines, some connected and some singular, across the animal's back to indicate the hard spines.
7. Draw the feet using curved lines. Notice how the lines overlap to distinguish the toes.
8. Draw the ears, erasing guide lines as necessary. For each ear, draw a small "C" shaped line within a larger "C" shaped line.
9. Use several "U" shaped lines to form the rear foot, peeking out from under the protective spines. Draw curved lines on each side of the nose to indicate whiskers.
10. Color your hedgehog. Most hedgehogs are shades of brown, tan, and grey. Some are also albino, lacking pigment in their fur and thus appearing white in color. If you'd like, you can get creative – color your hedgehog blue like Sonic, or black and red like Shadow.

What's the difficult part? This is best to draw with a pencil first. Then you can adjust your lines if you don't like them.

Structural Analysis of Retrovirus Assembly and Maturation.
Krebs A-S., Mendonça LM., Zhang P.
Retroviruses have a very complex and tightly controlled life cycle which has been studied intensely for decades. After a virus enters the cell, it reverse-transcribes its genome, which is then integrated into the host genome, and subsequently all structural and regulatory proteins are transcribed and translated. The proteins, along with the viral genome, assemble into a new virion, which buds off the host cell and matures into a newly infectious virion. If any one of these steps are faulty, the virus cannot produce infectious viral progeny. Recent advances in structural and molecular techniques have made it possible to better understand this class of viruses, including details about how they regulate and coordinate the different steps of the virus life cycle. In this review we summarize the molecular analysis of the assembly and maturation steps of the life cycle by providing an overview on structural and biochemical studies to understand these processes. We also outline the differences between various retrovirus families with regards to these processes.

Scott County Broadband Profile 2020: Yellow rating: Ranking out 19 of 87
Code: Yellow
Scott County: Great government network, stalled progress
As part of the 7-county metro area, Scott County is a fairly metro county, so they have the advantage of proximity to the Twin Cities and some higher population density areas. Their real advantage, however, is a government network built in 2007, that brought broadband to the area and spurred partnerships that have helped that broadband grow.
Their progress toward the 100/20 Mbps goal, however, has been stalled for as long as we have been keeping tracking. They need renewed motivation. Maybe that will come in the form of benefitting from a project that was awarded a grant in the last round of the MN Border to Border funding.
100/20 (2026 goal) 89.43 89.15 88.61 88.38
25/3 (2022 goal) 97.13 96.43 94.5 96.1
Scott 94.6% 89.0% 84.3% 67.9% 4.7%
Scott County started in 2007 with a 94-mile fiber-optic ring. At the time it was the largest government-owned, high-speed network in the state, and one of the largest in the nation. In 2014, county officials detailed the advantages of the network saying that Scott County Government paid $35,000/year less for better broadband than before they built their own network.
Scott County has benefited from one MN broadband grant:
2017 – Jaguar Communications – Sand Creek Township Area Broadband Project – GRANT $192,405
Broadband Properties Magazine featured Scott County's broadband story, highlighting their partnerships in March 2020. Here's a quick outline of events.
2002: works with school district and the county seat of Shakopee to build a hub-and-spoke network connecting public facilities.
2007: Minnesota Emergency Safety Board decided to upgrade the county 911 system – Scott goes fiber
2008: Using public-safety grant money in combination with tax-levy dollars, Scott County implemented a countywide fiber ring with Zayo
2009: expanded westward to join the Carver County network and swapped two fibers for two of Carver County's fibers And in other directions with other providers
2015: enters into a joint-build partnership with the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community that saved hundreds of thousands of dollars for both parties
Scott County will benefit from a project funded in the last round of Border to Border grants:
2019: BEVCOMM (Eckles Telephone Company) – Le Sueur County Project – GRANT $1,857,376
This last mile project will upgrade approximately 417 unserved households, 88 unserved farms, 59 unserved businesses, and 4 community anchor institutions in rural areas around the communities of Montgomery, Heidelberg, and New Prague in Le Sueur, Rice, and Scott Counties. In a funding partnership with the State of Minnesota and Le Sueur County, BEVCOMM will improve broadband service levels up to 1 Gbps download and 1 Gbps upload, exceeding the 2022 and 2026 state speed goals. Sustainable broadband adoption will transform these unserved areas into highly-productive rural communities. This use and development of broadband will provide various home-based business options, stimulate economic growth, and stimulate innovation and investment. Education, health care, agriculture, energy efficiency, and public safety will improve with high-speed Internet access.
Total eligible project cost is $3,714,752
Local match is $1,857,376
