According to research published yesterday in Nature. To be clear, this “heavily mutated”variant (called A.30) exists in the wild and has been found in patients on at least two continents.

It overcomes both the mRNA and DNA/AAV vaccines, the researchers say.

Don’t worry, though. Remember when Dr. Fauci told you mutated SARS-COV-2 variants that could beat the vaccines would spread within months? He did! He totally did!

Everything will be fine.

Kawasaki has announced a new “SE” version of its retro-styled Z900RS for 2022, which features upgraded suspension and brakes. Up front are new radial-mount monoblock Brembo M4.32 calipers and new settings for the fully adjustable inverted fork, which now sports gold legs. Out back is a new fully adjustable Öhlins S46 rear shock with a remote preload adjuster.

Also new on the 2022 Kawasaki Z900RS is a new “Yellow Ball” color scheme, with Metallic Diablo Black paint, yellow highlights on the teardrop tank and rear fender, and fetching gold wheels.

Read our Kawasaki Z900RS vs Honda CB1000R vs Suzuki Katana comparison review

At the heart of the Z900RS SE is a liquid-cooled, 948cc, 16-valve, inline-Four, which made 113 horsepower at 8,500 rpm and 67.5 lb-ft of torque at 6,700 rpm at the rear wheel in our 2020 Z900 test. This lightweight and compact engine spools up quickly and delivers solid and smooth performance when pushed but is versatile enough to be ridden in traffic with ease. The high-tensile steel trellis frame has received revisions at the swingarm pivot point, which is now stronger.

A fully adjustable 41mm inverted fork offers 10 clicks of compression adjustment, 12 clicks of rebound adjustment, and a stepless preload adjuster. At the rear, the RS is fitted with a horizontal backlink Öhlins S46 shock with a remote preload adjuster. The shock is linked to an extruded lightweight aluminum swingarm to maximize handling, with the linkage placed atop the swingarm helps to centralize the weight.

Braking is provided by a pair of radial-mount monoblock Brembo 4-piston M4.32 front calipers squeezing 300mm petal discs with a Nissin radial-pump master cylinder. Out back, a 2-piston caliper squeezes a 250mm petal disc. ABS and stainless-steel braided lines are standard.

In keeping with the classic styling, the Z900RS SE is equipped with cast flat spoke wheels, finished in gold, to resemble traditional wire-spoked wheels. Dunlop GPR-300 tires further add to the retro credentials.

The Z900RS SE features a large-diameter round LED headlight with a convex lens and chrome ring, adding to the retro look without compromising on lighting. LEDs have replaced all the lights except for the turnsignals. A dual-dial analog instrument cluster is coupled with a multi-function LCD screen for retro-style with modern functionality. The LCD features white letters on a black background and includes a gear position indicator.

Much like the sporty bikes of the ’70s, the Z900RS SE has a relaxed, upright riding position. A wide flat handlebar means the grips are 30mm wider, 65mm higher, and 35mm closer to the rider compared to the sportier Z900, partly thanks to the raised upper-triple clamp. The footpegs are also 20mm lower and 20mm farther forward, enhancing the relaxed riding position. Rubber-mounted bar ends help dampen vibrations in the bars, and both the clutch and brake levers are 5-way adjustable to help accommodate a wide variety of hand sizes.

The slim fuel tank is narrow at the rear, which allows for easy knee gripping. A low seat height, combined with a slim design, adds to the rider’s ability to place both feet on the ground when stopped.

A full range of Kawasaki accessories is available to give owners the option to add to the motorcycle’s iconic, old-school feel, including a tank emblem set, black, gold, or silver oil filler caps, front axle slider, tank pad, frame slider set, center stand, passenger grab bar and more.

The post 2022 Kawasaki Z900RS SE | First Look Review first appeared on Rider Magazine.

It's been nearly a decade since Reason informed you that "Your Cellphone is Spying on You." A 2019 document from the FBI's "Cellular Analysis Survey Team" (CAST) project, newly uncovered by the transparency group Property of the People, reminds us of some of the hows and whys.

The 139-slide document instructs investigators on what they can do via cell phone surveillance. It spells out what cops can get via just a subpoena (such as a "call to destination search," "payment information," or IP addresses) and what requires a warrant (such as text content or a trap-and-trace for all the numbers you're calling or fielding calls from). It offers language to use when asking your cell service provider to spy on you. Agents are advised to keep careful eye on such details as the first numbers called in the morning and last numbers called at night. Police are reminded that they not only can find where a number they are interested in has been, but also every number that has been used near a specific cell tower location.

CAST offers mapping programs to help investigators visualize what the cell data they are scarfing up tell them (which they warn "should not be taken to court without being validated for accuracy"). The presentation gives lots of pointers on using Google Earth for tracking and identifying locations. And the surveillance web doesn't rely only on cell phones: "license plate readers" are another element that cops can feed into the system, as is the original federal tracing device, the Social Security number.

The presentation also tells agents what they can get from Facebook, including "basic subscriber info" via subpoena, messages over the past 180 days via "court order," and photos, private messages, and friend lists via search warrant. This applies both to individual Facebook users and to groups. These realities makes recent discussion of encryption on Facebook all the more relevant.

It was good to see investigating agents being reminded that a cell provider may, at its discretion, deny an "exigent request" for instant info that allegedly involves an "emergency involving danger of death or serious physical injury." At the same time, those rejections can be overriden, though an authority at least as high as an deputy assistant attorney general has to approve such a move.

And that's just part of what's in the document. As Vice reports, it

also explains how data requests from Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) such as Boost Mobile are handled, explains how to obtain location data from what the FBI describes as "burner phones," and how to obtain information from OnStar, General Motors' in-vehicle system. The document also provides the cost of some of this data for law enforcement to request.

The presentation provides more recent figures on how long telecoms retain data for. AT&T holds onto data such as call records, cell site, and tower dumps for 7 years. T-Mobile holds similar information for 2 years, and Verizon holds it for 1 year.

We live in an age of concern over "domestic terrorism"—and if there's one thing the years since 9/11 have taught us, it's that terror investigations often entail the harrassment and surveillance of Americans who have not actually committed a crime but are being probed for the company they keep. At such a time, it's good to keep in mind what a squealer that little device in your pocket can be.

“A chicken in every pot.” Such was the aspiration of the early seventeenth century French king Henry IV for his subjects. (Yes, American president Herbert Hoover echoed the same sentiment.) However, “A chicken on every grill” might be more appropriate. Travel the world’s barbecue trail, and you’ll find an astonishing array of grilled poultry.

This, the second in a series, shares with you the most visited chicken recipes on our website.

This is the bouldered and dramatic intersection of two of my favorite things: cinnamon baked apples and a thick crumb cake. I don’t know how they make crumb cake where you are, but here in New York, and where I grew up in New Jersey, crumb cake isn’t a genteel cinnamon-ribboned or finely streusel-ed coffee cake, but a hefty square that’s 50% crumb topping and 50% a golden, sour cream-enriched cake and I wouldn’t want it any other way. Thanks to brown sugar and cinnamon, the crumb topping is always a dark stripe, and a snow-cap of powdered sugar isn’t optional. Fruit is, but this is too good with fresh apples to skip them.
