Since the H1N1 (swine) flu strain has been identified, the Weber-Morgan Health Department identified 30 state lab-confirmed cases for the virus. . "The CDC tells us if you present flu-like symptoms this time of year, Swine flu is most likely what you have," Tina L'Estrange, communicable diseases nurse at the Weber-Morgan Health Department, said. Due to the recent spike in cases reported, the state has adapted how the virus is reported. Since June 17, the state now only reports cases in which people are hospitalized for the virus. Officials at the Weber-Morgan Health Department say this change should cause the jump of numbers to level off a bit. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said the H1N1 strain is not captured in the regular flu shot, so getting a regular flu shot will not protect against the swine flu. L'Estrange said this time of year flu cases typically decline but the health department is seeing flu case numbers on the rise this year. "We saw our first case at the end of April, we had nine cases in May, but the majority have been this month," L'Estrange said. In the last week, nine people have been hospitalized and are waiting for results to come back. During this waiting period the patient is asked to voluntarily stay isolated in the home and to wear masks. Confirmation of test results takes at least seven days. Currently, Utah and Texas are tied for the 4lh highest death rate in the nation related to the v . -'' SOURCE: AbSOUAIED PR1SS Filipino women wear protective masks as they walk inside the East Avenue hospital compound in Quezon City, north of Manila, Philippines on Monday June 22, 2009. The pandemic is also affecting people locally in Weber County with 30 confirmed cases to date. H1N1 virus. New York is number one with 35. The Weber-Morgan Health Department recommends the following: wash hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds several times a day; cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze; avoid touching your nose and eyes; seek medical care if you experience flu-like symptoms or fever; and stay home if you are ill. Even if you take all the . precautions, L'Estrange said it does not mean you won't get the virus. "I have spoken widr people who have done everything and they still get swine flu," L'Estrange said. . .. The Weber State University Health Center is readily available to see anyone who has flulike symptoms, according to Dr. Shawn Mc-Quilkin. Students will be tested for influenza A or B, which is a $20 test. "This time of year, if a student has influenza A, there is a 95 percent chance it is swine flu," McQuillan said. A presumptive H1N1 diagnosis follows if results'show influenza A and an anti-viral prescription called Tamiflu is given to the patient. However, having a swine flu diagnosis is not the end of your summer by any means, according to McQuilkin. "My wife actually had the presumptive H1N1 diagnosis, McQuilkin said. "And was put on Tamiflu, and by the end of the weekend she was out hiking in the mountains," The anti-viral prescription only works if it is administered to the patient within 48 hours of the illness, according to McQuilkin. The only way to actually have die H IN 1 virus confirmed is for a patient to require a hospital stay and tests to be done by the state lab. The main difference between H1N1 and the common flu is the age group drat is affected. Hospitalizations regularly occur in See Virus page 5 - A "X "' " ' ' V". s :V ) , ... - r j . : 111' i w.. , .

The Freedom Riders get together ever Thursday at the Arena. Freedom Riders help chi Idren Disabled children learn to build confidence by riding horses By Jessie Holmes sr. news reporter I The Signpost Every Thursday al the Golden Spike Arena in Ogden students from Weber State University gather with other Freedom Riders to help physically disabled children experience riding a horse. Freedom Riders is a nonprofit organization designed to help physically disabled children ride horses. Everything is donated to the program and volunteers bring the horses each week. Weber County Commissioner's office and the Golden Spike Arena donate the use of their facilities. WSU dental hygiene student Lindsay Rasmussen said, "I think it's cool that people are willing to put forth an efiort to something that they aren't paid back in anything monetarily; just in their own feeling in being able to contribute." This summer a grant was given to the Freedom Riders to fund all of the children in the program, so they could ride for tree. It usually costs the families of the children S80 a summer to ride, but Ratter wrote a giant to the Alan E. and Jeanne N. Hall Endow mcnt and w as aw arded the grant.

The disease allects the development of movement and posture causing the person w ith the disease to be limited in their activities. Spina bifida is a disease affecting the neural tube. At birth the neural tube does not extend all the way or is overextended. "I love the kids in the program." Nina Hopkin, a WSU nursing student said. "They hae great spirits, fun personalities, and I just love being here." 1 lelping the kids ride horses is a type of therapy called Hip-potherapy. literally meaning horse therapy.

This long-standing debate stretches across presidencies, but is gaining serious ground in this administration. Obama plans on adopting a government-run healthcare provider as an option to patients, while also allowing personal selection between private or public insurance. He hopes to complete all of his reforms by the end of 2009. By creating a government-run healthcare provider, Obama plans to create greater competition in the market and lower all healthcare plan prices. Obama -also plans to create a complete digital database for all medical records that could save the government a projected $77 billion dollars.In an exclusive interview with Diane Sawyer on ABC's Good Morning America, Obama addressed concerns for healthcare reform. "There tends to be the attitude of 'We have a great system and if we just don't mess with it and the Obama folks aren't trying to do too much we'll be okay,'" Obama said. "That just isn't the case. Doing nothing means more people losing their coverage, higher costs for families, higher costs for businesses, and Medicare and Medicaid will go bankrupt. If we don't make these decisions we'll be worse off." In fact, healthcare in America ranks 37th in the world's health care systems trailing far behind France, Israel, Singapore, and Canada. These statistics come from the last World Health Organization (WHO) ranking from 2000. WHO also ranks America as spending the most on healthcare compared with any other nation, showing the U.S. as using 15.3 of the total Gross Domestic Product income towards healthcare. Students especially are vulnerable. In an InsideIIigherLd.com story from March 2008, 1 .7 million college students within the traditional age bracket arc uninsured. "My wife and I were insured a couple of months ago," said Blake Taylor, a WSU senior, "but I quit my job and so we no longer have insurance. We thought we'd be okay without it. It's a big risk.

|Associated Students of Weber State University; A generous grant from the Utah State Library and the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
|Weber's current student newspaper, the Signpost, first appeared on September 29, 1937. For two years prior to that time, campus news was disseminated via announcements posted on a bulletin board known as the "Signpost". As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

In spite of my 3 blog posts on NoSQL (http://bit.ly/NoSQLt http://bit.ly/NoSQL2 http://bit.ly/NoSQL3), where I had clearly stated what my concerns were with the whole NoSQL movement and what I strongly feel are the problems with the modus operandi of the architects and designers of the NoSQL systems, many people are still misinterpreting my comments/suggestions. Let me elaborate more in this post on what I strongly believe needs to be done and what I am willing to do to help in this regard.
I fully realize that there are many different types of NoSQL systems and that there are many differences between them with respect to the functionality they provide and the technologies that were invented/leveraged/implemented to realize that functionality. While not all the points I have made in my previous posts would necessarily apply to every one of the systems, every point I have made would apply to at least a reasonable subset of the systems.
Some people are expecting me to provide detailed review/criticism of each of the NoSQL systems along different dimensions (replication, data model, locking, etc). They seem to have missed my points about the descriptions of the internals of these systems being vaguely documented, and the choice of technologies/algorithms not being well specified and justified. This doesn't mean that such details aren't available for any aspect of any of the systems. I am sure there are a few systems for which some amount of detail is documented somewhere for some aspects of the implementation/design of those systems.
My major point is that the designers/architects/implementors ("the techies") of the NoSQL systems have to more carefully document the design of their systems so that the above points are dealt with methodically. Then, we can have more meaningful discussions about the merits and demerits of each of those systems, and the correctness/appropriateness of the chosen approaches to solving specific technical issues. The NoSQL techies, as responsible citizens of the land of data management, owe that level of rigor to the community. It would also help them in achieving better clarity in their thinking and increase the likelihood of catching logical errors in their algorithms. The whole ecosystem would gain from this exercise. Hopefully, the NoSQL techies would realize that many of the algorithms invented for RDBMSs would be applicable to even their systems and they would learn how to do design their systems so that they are extensible to accommodate new requirements. As I have said before, many features of RDBMSs which were initially considered unnecessary in the NoSQL context are now creeping back in.
I am not expecting the NoSQL techies to necessarily write research papers which are subject to the rigorous refereeing processes of conferences like VLDB, ACM SIGMOD, IEEE ICDE, EDBT, etc, even though such things would be desirable in the long run. As I detailed in my Part 2 blog post (http://bit.ly/NoSQL2), I personally had to go through tremendous amount of evangelization of my ideas (the ARIES family of locking and recovery algorithms - http://bit.ly/RepHis http://bit.ly/ARIESi) before they became widely accepted and got adopted/adapted for implementation in many different types of systems (not just RDBMSs). I of course know that many other people working in the traditional DBMS community have also had to go through similar pains to get their ideas rationalized and accepted. I have put references to my story only because I know it very well and because, for one reason or the other, my experiences have been well documented in various ways (papers, presentations, interviews and videos). I sincerely hoped that the readers of my blog post would take the trouble to follow up on them to get a far better feel for what some people have to go through to make long lasting impact on the wider technical community. Impact that goes beyond money making, flashy marketing collateral, elevator pitches or industry watcher/analyst pronouncements.
Maybe I am being idealistic but I feel I should appeal to the NoSQL community about this with the hope that it gains traction! I do realize that in addition to the open source community that is a big part of the NoSQL movement, there are a number of startups and big Web 2.0 companies who have sizable internal development groups that are engaged in NoSQL work. For different reasons, this set of people might choose not to act like the traditional DBMS community in following the kinds of suggestions I am making in my blog posts to bring more order to the current chaotic situation.
The onus is on the NoSQL techies to do the needed documentation of their work and rationalization of their design choices rather than people like me having to play with their systems or dig through any available open source code to figure out such technical details and rationale. As the references I have given in the Part 2 blog post make it clear, I chose to do such things in the past as part of the due diligence background work in relating my ARIES algorithms to what had been done before by others. It is worth pointing out that a typical researcher doesn't take the trouble to do as much digging into real systems to compare with the prior art.
So, here is my humble request to the NoSQL techies: For each of your systems, please send me or point me to detailed technical information on each of the important aspects of your system. This should be documentation in the form of papers or presentations, and not pointers to source code comments and such! If some significant aspects of a system aren't documented reasonably, I am urging the appropriate people to produce such documentation. Of course, for legal reasons, you should NOT send me any confidential or proprietary information.
Here is my offer in return for the above: Once I get hold of such documentation, I am willing to maintain a page for each significant NoSQL system where I will consolidate all the information on that system. Once I get hold of all that information, I will be able to do the comparisons between systems and make suggestions for improvements, etc. for each of the systems. I am planning a tutorial on NoSQL systems and it would be in the best interest of the techies of the different systems to get their systems featured in such a tutorial by providing accurate and complete information on their systems.
I would like to hear the readers' reactions to my humble request and my offer in return.

A student at Middle Tennessee State University in Murfreesboro was killed after being hit by a dump truck while crossing an intersection near campus.
Murfreesboro police said David "Ritt" Chitwood, 28, was in his wheelchair attempting to cross Greenland Drive at Middle Tennessee Boulevard just after 9 a.m. Friday when he was struck by the vehicle trying to make a right turn.
Chitwood was transported to Saint Thomas Rutherford Hospital where he died from his injuries.
Chitwood was a junior at MTSU majoring in mass communication.
Dr. John Dougan had known Chitwood for several years and had taught him in a couple of classes. He described Chitwood as an "unbelievably optimistic and incredibly cheerful person."
In 2006, Chitwood was involved in a serious accident that left him paralyzed from the waist down. He was in a coma for about a year before returning to MTSU to pursue his degree.
"Nothing ever seemed to get him down. He was always going forward. As hard as the work was at times, he persevered. He was a pretty remarkable guy," said Dr. Dougan.
In a statement issued Friday, MTSU President Sidney A. McPhee said, "It's a tragedy anytime MTSU loses a member of the university family, particularly when it involves one of our students. Our deepest sympathies are with the Chitwood family, who will continue to be in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time."
Counseling services will be available at MTSU to any student who wishes to use them.
Charges weren't immediately filed against the driver of the dump truck.

Is This Fitness Operator a Good Buy Now?
Anh is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Recently, Fool contributor Michael Lewis wrote about a fitness club owner and operator, Town Sports International Holdings (NASDAQ: CLUB). Town Sports has advanced significantly since 2009, from around $1.5 per share in March 2009 to around $13 per share in September 2012. However, the stock has retreated to around $9 levels of late, within striking range of its 52-week low. Lewis is of the opinion that it could be "an attractive buy" at its current trading price. Is it true? Let's find out.
Business snapshot
Town Sports is considered to be the third biggest owner and operator of fitness clubs in the U.S., with 510,000 members and 160 fitness clubs under four brand names, including New York Sports Clubs, Boston Sports Clubs, Washington Sports Clubs, and Philadelphia Sports Clubs. The majority of its top line, $376.5 million or 78.8% of the total, was generated from membership revenue. Personal training revenue ranked second, with $65.64 million in 2012, accounting for 13.7% of overall revenue, while other ancillary club revenues were nearly $30 million, or 6.3% of the total. As Town Sports derived the majority of its revenue from membership dues, its performance is quite dependent on its ability to attract and retain members. Its annual attrition rate was 41% in 2012.
A declining quarter with Hurricane Sandy impact
Town Sports has experienced a decline in its comparable club revenue in two out of the last five years. In 2009 and 2010, comparable club revenue decreased 5.6% and 4.3%, respectively, due to the recession and its impact on consumer spending. In the fourth quarter of 2012, due to the negative impact of Hurricane Sandy, its comparable club revenue also decreased 1.1%. Total member count also dropped by 12,000 to 510,000 in Q4 2012.
Its fourth-quarter net loss came in at $453 million, due to nearly $3.2 million charges of fix asset impairment from four clubs that suffered from damages caused by Hurricane Sandy. A bad fourth quarter might be the reason behind Town Sports' share price plunge. I expect that Town Sports could improve earnings in the first quarter of 2013, as the company probably will not incur impairment charges caused by Hurricane Sandy's impact anymore.
What makes me worried about Town Sports is its weak balance sheet. As of December 2012, it had a negative stockholders' equity of $55.5 million, while the cash on hand was $37.76 million. In addition, the company employs significant leverage in its operation. The debt was a whopping $310 million.
Peer comparison
At its current trading price, Town Sports' total market cap is around $223 million. The market is valuing the company at around 5 times EV/EBITDA. Compared to its bigger peer, Life Time Fitness (NYSE: LTM), Town Sports seems to be much cheaper.
Life Time Fitness, the operator of more than a hundred centers under the LIFE TIME FITNESS and LIFE TIME ATHLETICSM brands in around 26 major markets in the U.S., is worth nearly $1.8 billion on the market. At a trading price of around $43 per share, the company is valued at 7.45 times EV/EBITDA. In terms of profitability, Life Time Fitness has a much higher operating margin at 18.5%, while the operating margin of Town Sports is only 9.37%.
Foolish bottom line
With a huge leverage, negative equity and a low operating margin, I do not think Town Sports could be a good fit in the long-term portfolio of value investors. Investors might buy Town Sports only to speculate on the expected improving operating performance in the first quarter of 2013.

Fund for the Arts
High quality artistic venues that foster and support creative thinking.
|Key Strategic Initiatives
|Fundraising Goal
|Main Stage renovation
|Digital Arts program upgrade
|New Practice Room pianos
|Music concert series
|Art History classroom equipment
|Photography lab improvements
|Art Gallery improvements
Hartnell College is fortunate to have the kind of faculty and programmatic resources available for its performing and visual arts students that most community colleges can only dream about: a resident theater program of the highest caliber, a spacious art gallery, and inspiring faculty throughout the department. But many of the physical resources are showing their age. Moreover, technology upgrades must be made to properly serve our students, as these disciplines increasingly rely on technology, not only for the delivery of services but also as a core aspect of the profession of "artist."
In the Main Stage and studio theaters, private funds are needed for renovations that include a new sound system and sound system for hearing impaired patrons and students; rigging system; lobby improvements; studio theater seating; a new theater kiosk; seating and flooring; and upgrades to an electronic music studio. Funds also are needed to continue to develop new works for the stage.
The digital arts program, including both music and visual arts, requires computers and software that are supported by the rapidly changing industry and available technology. The current equipment in this popular area of study is badly out of date and cannot support the number of students interested in enrolling.
Nearly a hundred students enroll in piano classes each semester, and an even larger number of students in other music classes use pianos on campus for their studies, yet Hartnell has only seven pianos in practice rooms that have been in daily use for almost 40 years. Funds are needed to replace these old pianos.
Hartnell already is regarded as the cultural center for theater in the Valley. It also should be regarded as the cultural center for musical performance by instituting a music concert series of four to five concerts a year, free to the public.
Finally, funds are needed to improve facilities and equipment in the art history classroom, the photography darkroom and classroom, and the art gallery. Among the projects of pressing need are a resurfacing of the walls in the gallery and the addition of electrical outlets; reconfiguring the gallery's lighting system; upgrading the collection and equipment storage; reconfiguring the darkroom to allow for large format photography processing; replacing 30-year-old enlargers; reconfiguring the photography space to make room for a shooting studio, computer work stations, an after work and mounting station, and a 45-seat classroom; installing rear screen digital projectors and dual computer workstations in the art history classroom while replacing all desks to accommodate 50 students.
Your gift makes a difference! Gifts of all sizes are welcome, and multi-year gifts also are accepted. You may make a gift that funds any portion of these identified needs, or you may fund the entire area. Please Give!
Naming opportunities for gifts of $25,000 or more are available on the campus. Donors who contribute $1,000 in a given year are recognized as members of the President's Council.

It's in: Boeing's Best and Final.
Boeing concedes on medical, it says, but still wants pension relief for new employees. Says it will roll forward the current contract. The press release sounds like it pretty much accepts the SPEEA proposal, except for future employees' pension costs.
The devil is in the details; we'll see what SPEEA thinks after its review, but from the press release this looks encouraging.
Here is Boeing's message to employees:
Today, Boeing gave SPEEA its best-and-final contract offer, agreeing to the union's approach to extend the terms of the previous contract for current employees. With the exception of proposals explicitly agreed upon by both parties, the provisions of the current agreement will roll forward as they apply to current employees. This four year contract would allow all of us to focus our time and energy on the immediate challenges facing the company.
Under this offer, both Profs and Techs would see salary pools of 5 percent annually for the duration of the contract. The average Prof would see $84,071 in additional pay and performance-based incentive payments (EIP) over the life of the agreement. The average Tech would see $64,515 in additional pay and incentive payments.
Health care plans would remain in place with no increase in employee contributions.
For new hires only, we offer an enhanced retirement savings plan that would replace the traditional pension. Pensions for current SPEEA-represented employees are unchanged except for an increase in the pension basic benefit. Moving new hires to an enhanced retirement savings plan will provide future employees with a market-leading retirement plan — while allowing Boeing to better manage retirement plan expenses, reduce financial risk and invest in areas critical to the success of our business.
Over the past nine months, our team has negotiated in good faith to provide a market-leading offer to our employees.
We encourage you to visit the negotiations website where you'll find updated fact sheets with all the details of this offer, as well as an updated Pay & Benefits Estimator that shows what it means to you.

Poison control in Birmingham is warning people to keep the liquid nicotine in a safe place and out of the reach of children. Experts say the liquid is especially dangerous around kids.
"So just small amounts could be toxic, and if we believe that [a person] could have ingested that amount, they would have to be seen in an emergency department," Alabama Regional Poison Control Center Director Ann Slattery said.
She's referring to the dangers of liquid nicotine exposure. The substance can be found inside of e-cigarettes and refill bottles.
"More and more people are using them. As something comes into the home, more likely a child is going to get into it," added Slattery.
Poison controls centers across the country are seeing a major spike in liquid nicotine related cases.
According to Slattery, in the Alabama center handled 23 cases between 2010 and 2013. In just the first three months of 2014, they already had more than 20.
"Almost all of them have come to an emergency department, because if they're symptomatic we have to monitor them," she said.
The majority of cases are kids who got their hands on a bottle, got some on their skin or tasted it. Slattery says the liquid's high concentration of nicotine is what makes it so dangerous.
"We're seeing increased heart rate, increased blood pressure," she said.
In extreme cases, it can lead to problems with the nervous system.
"Then you might become drowsy, and result in a coma, and can result in a seizure," Slattery said.
For adults who handle liquid nicotine, Slattery recommends caution by locking up refill bottles and keeping e-cigarettes out of the reach of children.
Slattery says in some cases adults have confused the bottles for eye drops. She says anyone who thinks they may have been exposed to liquid nicotine should contact a poison control center immediately. The number for Alabama's regional office is 1-800-222-1222.

In a 5-to-2 vote, Roanoke City Council decided to delay the decision to increase council members' salary by 28.5 percent and the mayor's salary by 15 percent.
Monday was supposed to be the second and final vote for the pay raise.
During the meeting, several community members expressed their disapproval for such a big raise.
"The workers don't like it, as you heard in here," Roanoke citizen Robert Grevely says. "The citizens don't like it, as you've seen today."
Councilman David Trinkle says he isn't surprised many people in our community are responding negatively to a pay raise.
He believes a 10 percent increase is more reasonable, with eight percent compensating for the money council members will already lose if they do nothing, from a mixture of new pension and insurance policies that kick in starting in 2014.
The actual pay raise would just be two percent, which Trinkle says is more in line with what city employees are given.
"It gives us a raise and it doesn't kick the can down the road with doing nothing," Trinkle says.
City Council member Bill Bestpitch, who originally voted in favor of the increase, made the motion to postpone the vote, passed in a 5-to-2 decision.
"It's very important to maintain good relationships with other city council members," Bestpitch says.
Bestpitch responded to the community members who said they should have accepted the salary as it stands when they accepted the job.
"We knew what the salary was when we ran for office, but we also knew that it was part of our job to decide what's an appropriate salary," Bestpitch says. "Not making incremental increases on a regular basis is a mistake we need to correct."

If you thought the 2008 "Death Race" was a one shot deal, you were wrong! Universal Home Video has announced the direct to video sequel "Death Race: Frankenstein Lives" starring Luke Goss in drivers seat. Joining him will be the likes of Ving Rhames, Danny Trejo and Sean Bean, which makes you wonder which part of the track their careers crashed in.
"Taxi Driver" appears to be the next film slated for a modern remake but could there be actual hope for this one? Rumors were confirmed that Martin Scorecese, Lars Von-Trier and Robert DeNiro are all involved, with a strong chance of DeNiro reprising his Travis Bickle role.
Just off of the news of Neil Marshall's next epic "Centurion", the director has spoken of his plans to step into the producers chair for Ian D Fleming's "Ghosts of Slaughterford".

The release date for the "Hellraiser" remake has been changed from 2009 to "To Be Announced". According to Box Office Mojo, the official title is "Clive Barker Presents: Hellraiser". At least I like the title. Now we'll just have to wait and see how the movie turns out.
The people behind "Sorority Row" listened to me and went with the poster that has all of their actresses laying all over each other. It makes studios happy because it vaguely resembles those cheesy "floating head" posters, and it makes me happy because it's sexy. See, everybody wins.
"Predators" will be "Aliens" only with "Predators". Got it? To expound, the sequel will follow a group of people stranded on a Predator planet who have to deal with the "horrors they encounter".
Rob Zombie's "Halloween 2" is a little less than a month away folks. Up on Zombie's blog today is a still of Sheri Moon Zombie with the new boyhood Michael Myers, Chase Wright Vanek. I haven't been paying that close attention but I believe this is really the first time we've seen this new Myers in an official still... so, there it is.

About the Bosch Performance Ebike System The Performance Line truly lives up to its name. It is designed for sportive, powerful cycling both when accelerating in hilly terrain and when cycling in lowland country. With the highest precision, its performance is combined with that of the eBiker, generating sportive support that dominates every terrain and every gear. From flat to steep. From moderate to full power. The inner values are complemented by an equally impressive exterior. Design and ergonomics combine a high level of aesthetics and usability. The Performance Line brings a mass of energy and momentum to the street, to the dirt road, to the pass, to the single trail. The powerful drive system consists of the Drive Unit Crusie (25 km/h) or Speed (45 km/h), PowerPack 300 or PowerPack 400 and the compact Charger. Intuva Active is the clever eBike control centre. The strong energy is reflected with the young and sportive design of the anthracite-coloured components – a design awarded with the Red Dot Award for product design. In keeping with its design and performance, a wide range of sports models such as mountain or trekking eBikes can make optimal use of the Performance Line. In the Performance Line, two Drive Units are available for selection: The Drive Unit Performance Cruise enables sporty assistance up to 25 km/h. The Drive Unit Performance Speed supports up to 45 km/h. The difference is the technology behind the new modern anthracite-coloured design of the components. The improved drive system with more powerful electronics and a low-vibration motor as well as low volume and weight, convinces the rider. The optimised 3-sensor concept take measurement 1,000 times per second with maximum precision for optimal power tuning and a new, unique riding experience. The optimal balance of performance and range is also a matter of pure enjoyment. Designed in anthracite-colour in accordance with the Performance Line, the new cycle computer Intuvia Performance presents itself as the control centre of the eBike. . It features simple and intuitive operation trough the separate remote control. Switching between the five riding modes, plus walk assistance, and look up information such as speed, charging state, distance and much more could not be easier. Even when removed from the ebike, Intuvia remains a useful information tool that makes it possible for you to retrieve all your tour data. A USB port allows you to charge external hardware such as smartphones and MP3 players. With Intuvia Performance, high-precision distance measurements are possible. The eBiker himself can make a fine adjustment to the wheel circumference at the touch of a button. The five available riding modes – Turbo, Sport, Tour, Eco and Off – can be easily and conveniently selected via the separate control unit without it being necessary to take one's hands off the handlebar. Bosch offers the perfect drive mode for every eBike user and riding: Drive modes The Bosch eBike System includes five different drive modes — perfect for every eBike user and riding style: Mode Turbo · Maximum power assist even at the highest pedaling frequencies for sport riding · At 100 % personal pedal power, the motor contributes an additional 275 % Sport · Immediate power assist for sport riding · At 100 % personal pedal power, the motor contributes an additional 170 % Tour · Consistent power for long tours · At 100 % personal pedal power, the motor contributes an additional 110 % Eco · Effective power for maximum range · At 100 % personal pedal power, the motor contributes an additional 50 % Off No assistance The Intuvia – The command centre Intuvia Performance in anthracite is the suitable cycle computer specially matched to the line. The PowerPacks of the Performance Line are lithium-ion batteries with 300 Wh and 400 Wh, respectively. The PowerPack 400 Performance comes in two versions: as a rack or as a frame battery. The PowerPack 300 Performance is available as a frame battery. The new PowerPacks are batteries with unmatched energy density. The battery management system offers optimal protection against overload, undervoltage, overheating and short circuit, and it also increases the long service life of the PowerPacks. The improved battery charging device of the Performance Line The new charging device is compact and lightweight. The Charger weighs less than 800 grams, including the cable. The improved charging plug and practical hook-and-loop strip for cable sorting also simplify handling. The new battery charging device is designed without air vents, preventing contamination and making it more robust. The Powerpack 300 is charged to 50% in 1 hour, the Powerpack 400 in 1.5 hours.
