Brexit: Theresa May Issues Defiant Riposte to EU over Salzburg Impasse
written by WLT NEWS DESK
Stalemate: Prime Minister Theresa May convenes a meeting with her cabinet to discuss the government's Brexit plans at Chequers, the PM's official country residence, near Aylesbury, July 6, 2018 | Joel Rouse/MOD
"Yesterday, I was in Salzburg for talks with European leaders. I have always said that these negotiations would be tough – and they were always bound to be toughest in the final straight.
"While both sides want a deal, we have to face up to the fact that – despite the progress we have made – there are two big issues where we remain a long way apart.
The first is our economic relationship after we have left.
Here, the EU is still only offering us two options.
The first option would involve the UK staying in the European Economic Area and a customs union with the EU.
In plain English, this would mean we'd still have to abide by all the EU rules, uncontrolled immigration from the EU would continue and we couldn't do the trade deals we want with other countries.
That would make a mockery of the referendum we had two years ago.
I will not overturn the result of the referendum. Nor will I break up my country.THERESA MAY
The second option would be a basic free trade agreement for Great Britain that would introduce checks at the Great Britain/EU border. But even worse, Northern Ireland would effectively remain in the Customs Union and parts of the Single Market, permanently separated economically from the rest of the UK by a border down the Irish Sea.
Parliament has already – unanimously – rejected this idea.
Creating any form of customs border between Northern Ireland and the rest of the UK would not respect that Northern Ireland is an integral part of the United Kingdom, in line with the principle of consent, as set out clearly in the Belfast/Good Friday Agreement.
It is something I will never agree to – indeed, in my judgment it is something no British Prime Minister would ever agree to. If the EU believe I will, they are making a fundamental mistake.
Anything which fails to respect the referendum or which effectively divides our country in two would be a bad deal and I have always said no deal is better than a bad deal.
But I have also been clear that the best outcome is for the UK to leave with a deal. That is why, following months of intensive work and detailed discussions, we proposed a third option for our future economic relationship, based on the frictionless trade in goods. That is the best way to protect jobs here and in the EU and to avoid a hard border between Ireland and Northern Ireland, while respecting the referendum result and the integrity of the United Kingdom.
Yesterday Donald Tusk said our proposals would undermine the single market. He didn't explain how in any detail or make any counter-proposal. So we are at an impasse.
The second issue is connected to the first. We both agree that the Withdrawal Agreement needs to include a backstop to ensure that if there's a delay in implementing our new relationship, there still won't be a hard border between Ireland and Northern Ireland.
But the EU is proposing to achieve this by effectively keeping Northern Ireland in the Customs Union.
As I have already said, that is unacceptable. We will never agree to it. It would mean breaking up our country.
There are over 3 million EU citizens living in the UK who will be understandably worried about what the outcome of yesterday's summit means for their future. I want to be clear with you that even in the event of no deal your rights will be protected. You are our friends, our neighbours, our colleagues. We want you to stay.THERESA MAY
We will set out our alternative that preserves the integrity of the UK. And it will be in line with the commitments we made back in December – including the commitment that no new regulatory barriers should be created between Northern Ireland and the rest of the UK unless the Northern Ireland Executive and Assembly agree.
As I told EU leaders, neither side should demand the unacceptable of the other.
We cannot accept anything that threatens the integrity of our union, just as they cannot accept anything that threatens the integrity of theirs.
We cannot accept anything that does not respect the result of the referendum, just as they cannot accept anything that is not in the interest of their citizens.
Throughout this process, I have treated the EU with nothing but respect. The UK expects the same. A good relationship at the end of this process depends on it.
At this late stage in the negotiations, it is not acceptable to simply reject the other side's proposals without a detailed explanation and counter proposals.
So we now need to hear from the EU what the real issues are and what their alternative is so that we can discuss them. Until we do, we cannot make progress.
In the meantime, we must and will continue the work of preparing ourselves for no deal.
In particular, I want to clarify our approach to two issues.
First, there are over 3 million EU citizens living in the UK who will be understandably worried about what the outcome of yesterday's summit means for their future.
I want to be clear with you that even in the event of no deal your rights will be protected. You are our friends, our neighbours, our colleagues. We want you to stay.
Second, I want to reassure the people of Northern Ireland that in the event of no deal we will do everything in our power to prevent a return to a hard border.
Let me also say this.
The referendum was the largest democratic exercise this country has ever undergone. To deny its legitimacy or frustrate its result threatens public trust in our democracy.
That is why for over two years I have worked day and night to deliver a deal that sees the UK leave the EU. I have worked to bring people with me even when that has not always seemed possible.
No one wants a good deal more than me.
But the EU should be clear: I will not overturn the result of the referendum. Nor will I break up my country.
We need serious engagement on resolving the two big problems in the negotiations. We stand ready."

Dualism About Possible Worlds
Michael Tze-Sung Longenecker
Erkenntnis:1-17 (forthcoming)
Michael Longenecker
Wuhan University
Dualism about possible worlds says that merely possible worlds aren't concrete objects, but the actual world is concrete. This view seems to be the natural one for ersatzers about merely possible worlds to take; yet one is hard-pressed to find any defenders of it in contemporary modal metaphysics. The main reason is that Dualism struggles with the issue of how merely possible worlds could have been actual. I explain that there are two different Dualist strategies that can be taken to address the problem. Furthermore, one or other of these strategies should be plausible to anyone who accepts both Existentialism—which tells us that the existence of singular propositions depends on what they directly refer to—and Serious Actualism—which tells us that things must exist in order to instantiate properties. Though it has long been ignored, Dualism is a live option.

Day of Decisive Battle: Ghosts Under the Deep Salt Sea//This Sediment Called 'Man'
The Alawah family have held stewardship over the Dead Sea for untold generations, when it was still Lake Lisan. Before Magecraft was codified, before humanity had truly gained consciousness in the World it existed in, the ancestors of this woman sat at the shores of a vast, unknowable lake, not yet void of life as it is now. They spoke to something that lived within the depths of lake-- a great beast, or perhaps a fairy, an extension of the World. Whatever the truth, they formed some kind of contract with the lake's unnatural denizen, and so were charged with the safeguarding of the lake, their bodies changing and warping to be closer to the beings that existed in the lake. As the time passed, and the lake became a sea, as it began to recede and fade with agonizing slowness, they continued this duty. Already separated from humanity as a result of their contract, they took naturally to Magecraft-- though, they did not partake in the formation of the Association, nor did they send their children to the Clock Tower, or to their southwestern counterparts in the Atlas Mountains.
--Of course, the only constant in the thaumaturgical world is its decline. Though they could prevent others from misusing the sea and its inhabitant directly, they could do nothing against the slow, inexorable decline of Mystery, and the World's changing climate. By the 16th Century, the phantasmal patron of the Alawah clan could no longer maintain a physical body. As the world changed and the sea became something valuable to humanity and thus no longer separated from it, even the voice of the fairy grew quieter, more distant, until finally, around two hundred years ago it fell silent once and for all, its departure heralding the beginning of the Industrial Age. The alterations to their bodies became more like mutations-- fragile gills prone to infection, vestigial scales more akin to scabs than skin, sharklike teeth that fall out with just a little effort. Still, they persevered. Beyond their loyalty to their disappeared master, this was their home. They were more involved in political and cultural struggles in the area than most Magi, for their loyalty was ultimately to the land they lived on, more than even the Root itself. Such a thing had never truly been their goal.
Still, they could only stave off the rot for so long. In the modern day, facing terminal stagnation, their next heir was sent to the Clock Tower, in the futile hope that the key to reversing their future might lay there.
Bahretiya Al-Alawah. She doesn't care about any of it. She still hears the voice of the fairy, or she thinks she does, and still looks for her in the polluted reflection of the Thames. She doesn't want to find that change-- she wants to stay exactly the same.
Considered something close to a prodigy, Miss Al-Alawah primarily studies in Spiritual Evocation, with additional courses in Mineralogy and Creation-- although, her grades in Mineralogy are falling behind, like it doesn't really interest her. her laissez-faire attitude clashes with her academic success, and it's not uncommon to find her with her head in a sketchbook during most of her classes. She likes anatomical drawings, the interior of the human body and how it works. Sometimes she draws her own gills, and imagines them clean, missing the accumulated scar tissue of each infection, the irritation from the chlorine in the tap water. She's an extremophile, used to the kind of water that would pickle most things alive, but her body is pathetically weak to the pollutants of the modern world. Swimming in the open sea might as well be a death sentence for her, so she sits in her flat, in an expensive tank her family paid to have installed so her gills wouldn't seal shut and fuse from disuse, and she seethes at the world for making itself so hostile to her. She likes you. You're not sure why, but her friendship doesn't come easily, so you should try not to squander it.
--There's something more, deep below, but you can't pierce through. The sea is infinite, fathomless, and she is built for those depths. You can only skim the surface, and marvel at the abyssopelagic creature below.

Notice: Update on the Status of Intercountry Adoptions from Ukraine (March 11, 2014)
The Department of State is not currently aware of delays in the intercountry adoption process in Ukraine following former President Yanukovych's February 22 departure from Kyiv and the Ukrainian Parliament's establishment of a new government on February 27. The Department has received information from the Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs that it remains open and that delays are not currently expected in the issuance of Ukrainian passports to adopted children beyond the normal 10 day processing timeline.
The U.S. Embassy remains open and is providing full consular services including issuance of immigrant visas to adopted children. Consular officers at the U.S. Embassy are actively engaged and in direct communication with those adoptive parents who may be affected by the current situation.
U.S. families in Ukraine completing an intercountry adoption are encouraged to communicate directly with the U.S. Embassy in Kyiv at KyivAdoptions@state.gov. Additional questions regarding intercountry adoption may also be directed to the Office of Children's Issues at AskCI@state.gov. For more information regarding the current situation in Ukraine and the latest travel warning please visit the Bureau of Consular Affairs' website at travel.state.gov.
Alert: SDA resumes processing adoptions in Ukraine (July 14, 2011)
On July 14, 2011, the presidential order which extends the State Department on Adoption's (SDA's) authority to process adoptions was published in Ukraine. We have been informed by the SDA that they have resumed processing adoption applications. As described in a previous alert, the SDA will have the authority to continue processing adoptions until the Ministry of Social policy is ready to take over as the new adoption authority in Ukraine. The Ministry does not yet know when they will be prepared to take over adoption processing.
The SDA also informed the embassy that the new amendment to the Family Code is now in effect. This requires orphans to be registered on the central adoption registry for one year and to be at least five years old before they are eligible for intercountry adoption. The amendment exempts children with certain special needs, relative adoptions, and sibling adoptions. Please note that the Ukrainian government is in the process of updating the definition of special needs, a process which by law should be completed by October 11, 2011.
We will continue to encourage the Ministry of Social Policy to protect adoptions where U.S. prospective adoptive parents have already been approved by the SDA to adopt a particular child. We will also be following new developments closely to understand how they will affect the families currently in process and will be posting relevant updates.
Hague Convention Information
Ukraine is not party to the Hague Convention on Protection of Children and Co-operation in Respect of Intercountry Adoption ( Hague Adoption Convention ). Therefore, when the Hague Adoption Convention entered into force for the United States on April 1, 2008, intercountry adoption processing for Ukraine did not change.
According to a resolution that came into effect on December 1, 2008, the Ukrainian Adoption Authority, the SDAPRC, will now have the right to refuse to register your dossier if, at the time of the dossier's submission to the SDAPRC, the central database of Ukrainian children available for intercountry adoptions will not contain any children complying with the recommendation in your home study. Given the statistics published by the SDAPRC and available on the website of the U.S. Embassy in Kyiv at: http://kyiv.usembassy.gov/amcit_adoptions_notice_0119_eng.html, there are currently no healthy children (or children with minor, correctable health problems) under three and very few under six years old. Therefore, if you are recommended for a healthy child or a child with minor/correctable health problems under six years of age, the SDAPRC is very likely to refuse even to accept and register your dossier.
Who Can Adopt
To bring an adopted child to the United States from Ukraine, you must be found eligible to adopt by the U.S. government. The U.S. government agency responsible for making this determination is the Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). Learn more.
In addition to these U.S. requirements for adoptive parents, Ukraine also has the following requirements for adoptive parents:
There are no residency requirements for intercountry adoption from Ukraine.
Age of Adopting Parents
Under a Ukrainian law which came into effect on April 24, 2008, prospective adoptive parents must be at least 21 years old, and at least 15 years older, but not more than 45 years older than the adopted child. If only one of the adoptive parents complies with these age requirements, the adoption can be completed in the eligible parent's name only. If the child is being adopted by a relative, the age difference is not considered.
Foreign citizens must be married in order to be eligible to adopt from Ukraine.
While there are no specified income requirements, prospective adoptive parents are required to submit documentation identifying their income/financial standing.
Please also see the section listing the documents required for an adoption from Ukraine. Note also the new homestudy requirements as of December 1, 2008, listed in that section.
Who Can Be Adopted
Adoption Authority
Traveling Abroad
Applying for Your U.S. Passport
A valid U.S. passport is required to enter and leave Ukraine. Only the U.S. Department of State has the authority to grant, issue, or verify U.S. passports. Getting or renewing a passport is easy. The Passport Application Wizard will help you determine which passport form you need, help you to complete the form online, estimate your payment, and generate the form for you to print-all in one place.
Obtaining Your Visa
In addition to a U.S. passport, you also need to obtain a visa. A visa is an official document issued by a foreign country that formally allows you to visit. Where required, visas are attached to your passport and allow you to enter a foreign nation. To find information about obtaining a visa for Ukraine, see the Department of State's Country Specific Information.
Staying Safe on Your Trip
Before you travel, it's always a good practice to investigate the local conditions, laws, political landscape, and culture of the country. The State Department is a good place to start. The Department of State provides Country Specific Information for every country of the world about various issues, including the health conditions, crime, unusual currency or entry requirements, and any areas of instability.
Staying in Touch on Your Trip
When traveling during the adoption process, we encourage you to register your trip with the Department of State. Travel registration makes it possible to contact you if necessary. Whether there's a family emergency in the United States, or a crisis in Ukraine, registration assists the U.S. Embassy or Consulate in reaching you. Registration is free and can be done online.
After Adoption
What resources are available to assist families after the adoption?
Many adoptive parents find it important to find support after the adoption. Take advantage of all the resources available to your family -- whether it's another adoptive family, a support group, an advocacy organization, or your religious or community services.
Here are some good places to start your support group search:
North American Council on Adoptable Children
Adoption Services Support Group for Adopting Persons
Intercountry Adoption, Bureau of Consular Affairs. U.S. Department of State Country Information

The Scout Troop meets on a Friday night from 7.30 pm to 9.00 pm.
Numbers in the section are climbing and we see a great number of Cub Scouts moving into the Scout Section.
Scouts age range is from 10½ - 14 and is open to both boys and girls. Each scout troop consists of small units of six to eight scouts called a patrol, usually led by a patrol leader. Outdoor activities feature prominently in the scout troop, with the highlight being camping. Throughout the year, scouts learn various skills, such as map reading, camp cooking and first aid in preparation for camp. Rock climbing potholing, gliding, sub photography and international experiences are just some of the things they get up to.

BEEB VERY AFRAID
BBC iPlayer will soon require viewers to enter a password to prove they have a TV licence
The Beeb claims it wants to help people 'personalise' their telly watching, but its new system will also allow it clamp down on freeloaders
By Jasper Hamill
Updated: 11 May 2017, 18:26
USERS of the BBC iPlayer will need to enter a password to access the online catch-up service within the next few weeks.
Although the Corporation denied the move was part of a crackdown on licence fee evaders, it admitted the new system would allow them to identify people who are using the service without paying.
Anyone who wants to watch the iPlayer needs to have a TV licenceCredit: Getty Images
From Thursday viewers of the catch-up service will be notified with a message saying they "will soon need to sign in to watch" and encouraged to do so before the deadline in a few weeks.
Currently, people who use the iPlayer are asked if they have a licence - but this honesty policy is hardly likely to deter Brits who don't want to pay to watch BBC shows.
The introduction of a login, which was revealed last September, is part of the BBC's plans to make services "more personal and relevant to you", said MyBBC launch director Andrew Scott in an online blog.
This includes tailoring programme suggestions to users based on previous choices and will allow people to start watching a programme on one device before picking up where they left off on their TV.
It comes after new rules were introduced last year which meant that viewers must have a TV licence to watch or download BBC programmes on demand through iPlayer.
Mr Scott said the reason for making the changes "isn't about enforcing the licence fee - it's about giving you a better BBC and helping you get the best out of it".

He added the BBC would not be using "mass surveillance techniques or ask internet providers for IP addresses" to identify evaders. However, information provided "can help TV Licensing ensure that people are abiding by the law".
He added: "By matching email addresses we may be able to identify someone who has told us they don't need a TV licence while at the same time having signed in and watched iPlayer.
"So we will now use this alongside our existing enforcement techniques to help identify people who are watching licence fee-funded content without a licence."
Mr Scott said the BBC was "continuing to look" at whether a verification system was required for the iPlayer so non-licence fee payers cannot access content for free.


This experimental unit enables experiments to be performed on belt drives and belt friction. The core of the unit is a cast iron pulley with grooves in its circumference for V-belts and flat belts. The pulley is mounted in ball bearings and is operated with a hand crank. The inertia of the pulley contributes to even rotation. The belts grip the pulley at an angle of contact from 30° to 180° in 15° steps. Two spring balances measure the tensile forces at each end of the belt. The belt tension can be precisely adjusted using a threaded spindle.

Match will start after one hour from now. Australia is better team as compare to Pakistan and also defeated Pakistan in Group match by 34 runs but Pakistan can also do a upset because it has great bowlers and batting talent as well.

FCA 2020 Airflow Vision Concept
By Drew Dowdell
By Drew Dowdell • January 2, 2020
...setting up for an electrified future...
Fiat Chrysler is bringing a slew of concepts to the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas that all feature some sort of electrification.
The centerpiece of their display will be the 2020 Airflow Vision concept. While not specifically branded as a Chrysler, the Airflow Vision does take the name of a full-size Chrysler model produced from 1934 - 1937. FCA calls it a "sculptural design concept" that envisions the next generation of premium transportation. The interior user experience is designed to be captivating. FCA put a lot of work into showing a sophisticated appearance that can be personalized and customized to individual needs.
The cabin offers multiple interfaces, one behind the steering wheel, two on the center console, one for the front passenger, and two more for the rear passengers. Information can be shared between the screens by swiping. The interior is said to be the same size as the Chrysler Pacifica Plug-in and has a flat load floor. In spite of all that room, it only has 4 seats set up in a lounge chair fashion to maximize legroom, shoulder room, and storage space for each passenger. Premium suedes and leathers, along with ambient lighting make the ride a first-class experience.
The exterior of the Airflow Vision has an aggressive stance with bodywork reaching almost to the ground. The wheels hint at the use of electric motors, but no powertrain information was provided.
Interior is interesting and not bad the exterior leaves much to be desired, just not pushing the design edge enough to stand out as Special / Luxury.

The exterior images are so vague and without detail that it looks like a mid size-ish crossover with a sleek roofline .. the taillight makes me think Dodge.

Nissan News: Nissan Z Proto Shows What's In Store
By William Maley
You would think that Nissan has forgotten about the 370Z, considering not much has been done to it in some time. But the Japanese automaker wants to make it clear they haven't forgotten about their sports car. They have been quietly working on the next-generation model.
Last night, Nissan introduced the Z Proto which is a thinly-veiled concept of the next-generation model, possibly named 400Z due out within the next few years.
You will instantly recognize the Z Proto as being part of the Z family. Nissan's designers draw quite heavily from the original 240Z up front as evidenced by the hood, teardrop-shaped LED headlamps (only available on Japanese-market 240), and square lower grille. The side profile also has another nod to the 240Z with the cabin pushed far back. In the back, echoes of the 90's 300ZX with a sloping roofline and rear light treatment.
The interior looks production ready with a digital gauge cluster, dished steering wheel, sport seats with yellow contrasts, and a six-speed manual. The only callback to older Z models is a three-gauge binnacle sitting on top of the dash.
Nissan is keeping mum on the two important parts of the Z Proto - engine and chassis. On the former, Nissan says the concept uses a twin-turbo V6 - possibly being the 3.0L used in the Q50 and Q60. This engine produces either 300 or 400 horsepower depending on the version. We may see a smaller engine option being available on the production model.
According to Nissan, "work is now underway to synchronize the power with the grace and control that has defined the Z for the past 50 years." Hopefully, more details begin to spill out before its debut.

New Nissan Z Proto looks to the future, inspired by its past
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The new Z is coming.
Nissan has unveiled the Z Proto, signalling the company's intent to launch a new generation of the legendary Z sports car. Shown at an event beamed around the world from the Nissan Pavilion in Yokohama, Japan, the prototype features new design inside and out, as well as an upgraded powertrain with a manual transmission.
In Franklin, just south of Nashville, hundreds of Z owners and enthusiasts watched the Z Proto's Yokohama debut on big screens from their vehicles in a socially distanced event– part of a weeklong schedule of activities during the 33rd annual International Z Convention (ZCON).
First hinted at in a brand teaser video, "Nissan A-Z," shown in May, the Nissan Z Proto pays full respect to 50 years of Z heritage. At the same time, it's a thoroughly modern sports car.
"The Z represents the joy of driving in its purest form and has helped shape Nissan's DNA as a passionate, innovative challenger," said Nissan CEO Makoto Uchida. "Ever since the first generation, it has captured the hearts of car enthusiasts all over the world. That's why we're so excited today to be able to say to them: Yes, the next one is coming!"
Z Proto is one of 10 new vehicles that Nissan is showing for the U.S. in 20 months, along with top-sellers like Sentra and Rogue, and innovative new models like the all-electric Ariya crossover.
"The United States is home to one of the most devoted and enthusiastic Z communities in the world, with nearly 1.35 million total sales over the model's 50-year history," said Mike Colleran, senior vice president, Nissan U.S. Marketing and Sales. "With new models like Sentra and Rogue opening new eyes to our brand, Z Proto is our loudest statement yet that Nissan will continue to bring vehicles that thrill to U.S. showrooms."
Z Proto exterior: past meets future
Sporting a bright yellow pearlescent paint – a tribute to a popular paint scheme on both the first-generation 240Z and the 300ZX – the Z Proto boasts a fresh, attractive exterior design with a silhouette that communicates respect to the original model.
Using a theme that combines elements of previous generations while also projecting futurism was challenging, said Alfonso Albaisa, head of design at Nissan.
"Our designers made countless studies and sketches as we researched each generation and what made them a success," Albaisa said. "Ultimately, we decided the Z Proto should travel between the decades, including the future."
The shape of the hood and the canted, teardrop-shaped LED headlights are both unmistakable reminders of the original Z. The rectangular grille dimensions are similar to the current model, although the grille fins nod to the past. The form continues to exude both sportiness and elegance.
"The LED headlights have two half-circles that hark back to the Japan market-only 240ZG of the 70s," Albaisa explained. "The ZG has clear dome lenses over the headlight buckets, which under light give off two circular reflections over each headlight. We liked that unique characteristic and discovered that it naturally fit with the Z's identity."
The link to the original Z is most striking when viewing the Z Proto from the side. The roofline flows from the nose to the squared-off rear to create a distinctive first-generation Z profile whose rear edge was slightly lower than the front fender height giving the Z its unique posture. The signature transition from the rear quarter glass to the low-slung position of the rear tail adds to the effect.
The rear takes inspiration from the 300ZX taillights, reinterpreted for the modern world. Set within a rectangular black section that runs across the rear and wraps around the outer edges, the LED taillights convey a sharp glow.
Lightweight carbon fiber treatments on the side skirts, front lower lip and rear valance ensure nimble performance. 19-inch alloy wheels and dual exhausts complete the Z Proto's striking road presence.
Z Proto interior: modern tech with a vintage touch
Designed to fit driver and passenger like a glove, the Z Proto's cabin seamlessly blends modern technology with vintage Z touches.
The interior design team sought advice from professional motorsports legends to give the Z Proto an ideal sports car cabin, both for road and track. This can be seen in the Z's instrumentation. All vital information is found in the 12.3-inch digital meter display and arranged to help the driver grasp it at a glance, such as the redline shift point at the twelve o-clock position.
The new, deep dish steering wheel offers the driver quick access controls without losing its vintage aesthetic.
Yellow accents are found throughout the cabin, including stitching on the instrument panel. The seats feature special accent piping and layered seat material to create depth.
Sports car joy: an exhilarating, dynamic performer
The original Z was built to bring the joy and excitement of sports car ownership to as many people as possible.
"The Z has always been a strong dynamic performer, making it easy for customers to enjoy its capabilities and feel as connected as possible to the car," said Hiroshi Tamura, chief product specialist of the Z Proto. "This has been true through all its generations, and this is what drives our passion to innovate and challenge the norm."
Each new generation had a more powerful engine, although the Z is about more than power increases.
"Z is more than just powerful and agile," Tamura continued. "It is designed to create a connection with the driver, for the car to be a 'dance partner' for their on-road adventures."
Make no mistake though, the Z Proto packs a powerful punch. Under the elongated hood is an enhanced V6 twin-turbocharged engine mated to a six-speed manual gearbox. As a prototype, work is now underway to synchronize the power with the grace and control that has defined the Z for the past 50 years.
"Nissan is transforming its business," said Uchida. "This summer, we unveiled the ground breaking all-electric Nissan Ariya crossover, which represents the future of mobility. Even as we open this new chapter, the Z, its heritage and passion, express who we are and has been shaping our DNA for over fifty years."

2021 Jeep Wrangler 4xe Shows A Green Side
The Jeep Wrangler is going green with the introduction of the 4xe.
This plug-in hybrid version of the Wrangler pairs a 2.0L turbo-four with a transmission-mounted electric motor. Total output is 375 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque, making this the powerful production Wrangler to date. A 17.0-kWh, liquid-cooled battery pack battery pack mounted under the rear-seat provides the electric juice and allows the 4xe to travel up 25 miles on electric power only. The transmission is an eight-speed automatic. Jeep hasn't revealed how long it takes to charge up the 4xe.
Before you start thinking that going plug-in hybrid lessens the capability, Jeep says the 4xe models come with Dana 44 axles front and rear, and the various electronics have been waterproofed - allowing it to ford up to 30 inches of water. Base and Sahara models come with a two-speed transfer case with automatic four-wheel-drive mode and a 2.72:1 low-range. Rubicon models feature a transfer case with a 4:1 low-range, electronic locking front and rear axles with a 4.1:1 ratio, and an electronic sway bar disconnect.
The 4xe does give up cargo space, with 27.7 cubic feet behind the rear seats (down four) and 67.4 with the rear seats folded (down five). It is also heavier with the base model coming at 5,000 pounds - about 800 pounds heavier than the gas model.
Jeep will begin selling the Wrangler 4xe early next year in the three trims mentioned above. You'll only be able to get it in the four-door version. Expecting pricing to be above $30,000 or so.

Jeep Wrangler 4xe models will be available in Europe, China and the United States by early 2021. The Jeep Renegade 4xe and Compass 4xe models – introduced last year in Geneva – began arriving in Europe this summer. The new Jeep 4xe models follow the introduction of the Jeep Grand Commander PHEV in China last year.
The Wrangler 4xe's plug-in hybrid powertrain is capable of up to 25 miles of nearly silent, zero-emission, electric-only propulsion, making it commuter friendly as an all-electric daily driver without range anxiety and the most capable and eco-friendly Jeep vehicle off-road – combined with the open-air freedom that only Jeep Wrangler offers.
Jeep will offer electrification options on each nameplate in the next few years as it strives to become the leader in eco-friendly premium technology. Electrified Jeep vehicles will carry the 4xe badge. Jeep electric vehicles will be the most efficient and responsible Jeep vehicles ever, taking performance, 4x4 capability and driver confidence to the next level.
"Our Jeep 4xe vehicles will be the most efficient, responsible and capable that the brand has ever created," said Christian Meunier, Global President of Jeep Brand - FCA. "We are committed to make Jeep the greenest SUV brand. The electrification of the Jeep lineup will allow commuters to travel solely on electric power, delivering an efficient and fun on-road experience and offering an ability to enjoy even more Jeep capability off-road in nearly complete silence."
The Wrangler 4xe's advanced powertrain provides a unique on- and off-road experience through the combination of two electric motors, a high-voltage battery pack, a high-tech 2.0-liter turbocharged I-4 engine and robust TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission. The most advanced powertrain ever developed for a Jeep Wrangler maximizes efficiency with an estimated 50 miles per gallon equivalent (MPGe) while eliminating range anxiety, delivering pure-electric operation for most daily commutes.
Torque from the electric motors in the Wrangler 4xe's hybrid powertrain arrives instantly on demand from the driver. The powertrain also delivers fuel-saving, seamless, start-stop operation of the engine.
Jeep has demonstrated 4x4 capability leadership for nearly 80 years. Jeep vehicles were the first to feature an automatic full-time four-wheel-drive system, first 4:1 transfer case and first electronic front sway-bar disconnect system. Merging electrification into the product lineup is a natural evolution.
The Jeep Wrangler 4xe will be sold globally, with electric vehicle (EV) charge port plugs tailored to specific regions. It is assembled at FCA's Toledo Assembly Complex in Toledo, Ohio.
Wrangler 4xe Advanced Powertrain Combines Electric Motors, Turbo Engine
The Jeep Wrangler 4xe powertrain integrates two electric motors and a 400-volt battery pack with a fuel-efficient, turbocharged, four-cylinder engine and TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission. This configuration maximizes the efficiency of the hybrid propulsion components and mates them with the Wrangler's world-renowned and proven driveline.
Key elements of the Wrangler 4xe powertrain include 375 horsepower (280 kW), 470 lb.-ft. (637 N•m) of torque and an estimated 50 MPGe from the following components:
2.0-liter turbocharged I-4 Engine-mounted motor generator unit Transmission-mounted motor generator unit integrated into eight-speed automatic transmission (ZF 8P75PH) 400-volt, 17-kWh, 96-cell lithium-ion, nickel manganese cobalt battery pack The 2.0-liter turbocharged I-4 engine is part of FCA's Global Medium Engine family. The high-tech, direct-injection engine uses a twin-scroll, low-inertia turbocharger mounted directly to the cylinder head, along with a dedicated cooling circuit for the turbocharger, intake air and throttle body for exceptional responsiveness, performance and fuel efficiency.
A high-voltage, liquid-cooled motor generator unit mounts at the front of the engine, replacing the conventional alternator. A robust belt connects the motor generator to the engine crankshaft pulley. The motor generator spins the engine for nearly seamless, fuel-saving, start-stop operation and generates electricity for the battery pack. The Wrangler 4xe does not use a conventional 12-volt starter motor. The Wrangler 4xe is equipped with a 12-volt battery to run accessories.
The second high-voltage motor generator is mounted at the front of the transmission case, replacing the conventional torque converter of an automatic transmission.
Two clutches work to manage power and torque from the e-motor and engine. A binary clutch (on/off) is mounted between the engine and the motor. When this clutch is open there is no mechanical linkage between the engine and the e-motor, which enables it to propel the Wrangler 4xe in electric-only mode.
When the binary clutch is closed, torque from the 2.0-liter engine and the e-motor flow combine through the automatic transmission. A variable clutch mounted behind the e-motor manages engagement with the transmission to improve drivability and efficiency.
Battery Pack Preserves Interior Room
The Jeep Wrangler 4xe's 400-volt, 17-kWh, 96-cell lithium-ion battery pack uses nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) graphite chemistry. The pack and controls mount underneath the second-row seat, where it is protected from outside elements. The Wrangler 4xe's second-row seat is redesigned, allowing the bottom cushion to flip forward for access to the battery.
Encased in an aluminum housing, the pack is fitted with a dedicated heating and cooling circuit to keep the battery at its optimum temperature for best performance. The temperature control circuit includes a dedicated heater unit and a chiller that uses the Wrangler air-conditioning refrigerant to reduce coolant temperature when needed.
The Wrangler 4xe hybrid system includes an Integrated Dual Charging Module (ICDM), which combines a battery charger and a DC/DC converter in a single unit that is more compact than two separate components, and a next-generation Power Inverter Module (PIM) that is reduced in size. These components are housed and protected from damage in a steel structure mounted below the battery pack.
All high-voltage electronics, including the wiring between the battery pack and the electric motors, are sealed and waterproof. Like all Trail Rated Jeep Wranglers, the Wrangler 4xe is capable of water fording up to 30 inches (76 cm).
The electric charge port features a push-open/push-close cover and is located on the left front cowl of the Wrangler 4xe for convenient nose-in parking at charging locations. The charge port includes LED indicators of charging status. An LED battery level monitor is mounted on top of the instrument panel, making it easy to check battery state of charge at a glance during charging.
Wrangler 4xe E Selec Modes
The Jeep Wrangler 4xe driver can tailor the hybrid powertrain to best suit each trip, whether it is filling the needs of most daily commuters in pure-electric operation, a night on the town or quietly exploring nature off-road.
The Wrangler 4xe hybrid powertrain has three modes of operation, known as E Selec. The driver can select the desired powertrain mode via buttons mounted on the instrument panel, to the left of the steering wheel. Regardless of the mode selected, the Wrangler 4xe operates as hybrid once the battery nears its minimum state of charge.
Hybrid: The default mode blends torque from the 2.0-liter engine and electric motor. In this mode, the powertrain will use battery power first, then add in propulsion from the 2.0-liter turbocharged I-4 when the battery reaches minimum state of charge Electric: The powertrain operates on zero-emission electric power only until the battery reaches the minimum charge or the driver requests more torque (such as wide-open throttle), which engages the 2.0-liter engine eSave: Prioritizes propulsion from the 2.0-liter engine, saving the battery charge for later use, such as EV off-roading or urban areas where internal combustion propulsion is restricted. The driver can also choose between Battery Save and Battery Charge during eSave via the Hybrid Electric Pages in the Uconnect monitor To help optimize the benefit of the E Selec modes, the Wrangler 4xe driver information display and the Uconnect touchscreen feature Eco Coaching Pages. The Eco Coaching Pages let owners monitor power flow and see the impact of regenerative braking, schedule charging times to take advantage of lower electric rates, and view their driving history with a detail of electric and gasoline usage.
Regenerative braking is a key part of the Wrangler 4xe eco-friendly equation. When the driver steps on the brake pedal, the powertrain control engages the maximum available regenerative braking, up to 0.25 g, from the electric motors to slow the vehicle, augmented with the Wrangler's traditional friction brakes. The regenerative braking feature also extends the replacement period for brake pads.
With 4x4 engaged, all four wheels feed torque for regenerative braking, maximizing the energy recovery. Electricity due to regenerative braking is fed to the battery pack to maintain or increase the state of charge.
The Wrangler 4xe also features the ability to maximize regenerative energy production via a driver-selectable Max Regen feature.
When Max Regen is engaged, a more assertive regenerative braking calibration occurs when the vehicle sees zero throttle input from the driver (coasting). Max Regen can slow the Wrangler 4xe faster than standard regenerative braking and generate more electricity for the battery pack. Once selected, the Max Regen feature remains engaged until driver deselects it.
Off-road Legend
Jeep Wrangler's heritage is defined by its legendary off-road capability. All Wrangler 4xe power modes are available when the drivetrain is shifted to 4Lo. The seamless integration of electric power into the 4x4 drivetrain elevates the Wrangler 4xe to new levels of off-road performance.
Enthusiasts will find that the instant availability of torque from the Wrangler 4xe's electric motor delivers a more precise and controlled driving experience for climbing and crawling – there's no need to build up engine rpm to get the tires to move, minimizing driveline shock loading and maximizing control and speed.
In EV mode, the Wrangler 4xe treads lightly and silently, conserving fuel and allowing occupants to focus solely on the sights and full sounds of nature.
The new Jeep Wrangler 4xe is available in three models: 4xe, Sahara 4xe and Rubicon 4xe. Wrangler 4xe and Wrangler Sahara 4xe models are equipped with full-time 4x4 systems, front and rear next-generation Dana 44 axles and are fitted with the Selec-Trac two-speed transfer case with a 2.72:1 low-range gear ratio. The intuitive system allows the driver to set it and forget it in any environment.
An available Trac-Lok limited-slip rear differential provides extra grip and capability in low-traction situations, such as driving over sand, gravel, snow or ice.
Wrangler Rubicon 4xe models carry the Rock-Trac 4x4 system that includes a two-speed transfer case with a 4:1 low-range gear ratio, full-time 4x4, front and rear next-generation Dana 44 axles, Tru-Lok electric front- and rear-axle lockers. The Wrangler Rubicon 4xe has an impressive crawl ratio of 77.2:1, which makes scaling any obstacle easy. Wrangler Rubicon models also offer improved articulation and total suspension travel with help from a front axle, electronic sway-bar disconnect. Together, these components contribute to the maximum off-road prowess Wrangler Rubicon is known for.
The Wrangler 4xe includes Selec-Speed Control with Hill-ascent and Hill-descent Control. This allows drivers to control vehicle speed up and down steep, rugged grades with the transmission shift lever.
Like every Jeep Wrangler, the Jeep Wrangler 4xe models wear a Trail Rated badge that signifies legendary 4x4 capability with equipment that includes:
Skid plates and front and rear tow hooks Wrangler Rubicon 4xe approach angle of 44 degrees, breakover angle of 22.5 degrees, departure angle of 35.6 degrees and ground clearance of 10.8 inches (27.4 cm) Aggressive, available, 17-inch, off-road wheels and 33-inch tires standard on Rubicon 4xe; 20-inch wheels standard on Wrangler 4xe and Sahara 4xe Up to 30 inches (76 cm) of water fording All 4xe models maintain Wrangler's renowned ease of customization with a host of Jeep Performance Parts from Mopar, available when the vehicle arrives in showrooms.
'Electric Blue' Design Cues Mark Wrangler 4xe
The 2021 Jeep Wrangler 4xe maintains a sculptural design aesthetic that's bold and functional, with a wide stance and trapezoidal wheel flares.
Exclusive content identifies the Jeep Wrangler 4xe as the most technologically advanced Wrangler ever. New Electric Blue coloring on the front and rear Rubicon tow hooks stands out against the black bumpers. The unique blue coloring also traces the Rubicon name on the hood, Jeep badge and the Trail Rated badge. Select Easter egg design cues also receive the Electric Blue shade. The black hood decal is outlined in the special color with "4xe" that lets the body color show through.
Inside, the Wrangler 4xe Rubicon includes unique Electric Blue stitching on the seats and trim.
The 2021 Jeep Wrangler 4xe is available in 10 exterior colors: Black, Bright White, Firecracker Red, Granite Crystal Metallic, Hella Yella, Hydro Blue (late availability), Sting-Gray, Snazzberry, Sarge and Billet Silver Metallic. Two Wrangler interior options are available in the 4xe version: Black with Heritage Tan cloth and Black with Dark Saddle leather.
Jeep Renegade 4xe and Jeep Compass 4xe
Presented globally in March 2019 at the Geneva Motor Show, the new Renegade 4xe and Compass 4xe are the first Jeep models with plug-in hybrid electric technology available in Europe. Their arrival was celebrated in January with the exclusive First Edition – a special launch edition made available for customer previews and pre-booking on a dedicated website for select European markets. Renegade 4xe and Compass 4xe began arriving in the European market this summer. Both Renegade 4xe and Compass 4xe models feature a no-compromise hybrid solution that integrates the unmatched technical layout of each Jeep SUV and takes their capability to the next level through some of the most advanced technology, which combines enhanced performance (up to 240 horsepower), improved safety (four-wheel drive is always available) and low environmental impact (less than 50 g/km of CO2 in the hybrid mode).
The combination of a 1.3-liter turbocharged gasoline engine and the electric unit guarantees performance and extraordinary driving pleasure: acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in less than 7.5 seconds and full electric top speed is 130 km/h, which reaches 200 km/h in the hybrid mode.
With the new hybrid technology, Jeep Renegade 4xe and Compass 4xe further improve their benchmark off-road capability courtesy of the greater torque offered by the combination between the two power sources. Thanks to the new Jeep 4xe technology, traction to the rear axle is not provided by a prop shaft, but through the dedicated electric motor. This allows the two axles to be separated and control the torque independently in a more effective way than a mechanical system, giving instant electric boost to the rear wheels when needed.
The new Jeep Renegade 4xe and Jeep Compass 4xe began arriving in Jeep dealerships across Europe this summer with a full lineup to include Limited, S and Trailhawk trims, all with four-wheel-drive configuration.
Mopar and Jeep Performance Parts Supports Launch of Most Capable, Technically Advanced, Eco-friendly Jeep Wrangler Ever
When the new 2021 Jeep Wrangler 4xe (pronounced 4byE) plug-in hybrid joins the Jeep brand's global electric vehicle lineup later this year, Jeep Performance Parts and Mopar will offer a wide variety of factory-engineered, quality-tested performance parts and accessories for the most capable, technically advanced and eco-friendly SUV on the planet.
The comprehensive portfolio of more than 300 Jeep Wrangler products will include exclusive Jeep Performance Parts (JPP) offerings, allowing customers the opportunity to expand upon the Wrangler's fun-to-drive on- and off-road experiences. An industry-first, OEM-developed JPP 2-inch lift kit is specifically engineered and tuned for the Wrangler 4xe plug-in hybrid application. Additional products will include beadlock-capable wheels, off-road bumpers, LED off-road lights and rock rails, just to name a few. More detailed information will be available closer to launch.
In addition, Jeep Performance Parts and Mopar will offer a 240-volt at-home electric vehicle (EV) wall charger on Amazon.com and quality installation services, giving customers a fast and convenient way to charge their vehicles at home.
Unlike any other aftermarket offerings, Jeep Performance Parts and accessories are backed by a full factory warranty. The products are created in close conjunction with the Jeep brand, engineering and product design-office teams for development, testing and validation. Strict standards and factory-exclusive data — information not available to the aftermarket — are used to seamlessly integrate performance parts and accessories in order to deliver proper fit, finish and quality right down to the color, grain, and appearance of each product.

That's the exact same scenario for every mainstream brand. Daimler included. Look at how the 300SL Gullwing was dropped after only 3 years, in order to crank out 4-cylinder ragtop SLs for decades. Beancounters. Had the kept it running it could've been competition for the C2 Corvette. There is no fundamental Tesla is doing that supports it's stock price. That's not stockholder demands, it's investor mania. And what stock holder wouldn't like to see a Corp's share price skyrocket after they bought it?

Well yeah, I am sure there are other good engineers they can hire. My point was more that the engineers and designers don't run the company, the finance people do. And the danger is them making finance decisions over product decisions. Because they see Tesla worth $750 billion or whatever they are worth and GM worth $70 billion and they'll probably do anything they can to compete with Tesla because the stockholders will demand it. And Tesla copying is where a lot of car makers can get in trouble.

So what? One day Duntov retired (1975), and look what the Corvette went on to become (even by '84). Juechter could retire and the Corvette could go on to even greater heights. He's not the only person that can helm the ship.

Discussion in 'Windows 7' started by QuantumBug, Dec 18, 2018.
This is awesome, I just bought an acer predator helios 300 gaming laptop a few weeks ago and will give this a shot, I've tried to like the windows 10 that came preinstalled but it's such garbage.
Let me know what happens, I'm interested to see your outcome.
Unfortunately I'm not going to be able to switch the os on this laptop for a while, the wifi chip is intel 9560 and there's only windows 10 drivers available, I'm going to get to work trying to modify the driver soon but if I can't then I'm just going to open up the device and swap the chip with something more compatible.
I will take a look at the drivers tomorrow and see if they can be ported also.
This issue is caused because the drivers up to 16.3 are windows 8 (NT 6.2) compatible and since 16.4 windows 8 support has gone from the list.
Technically AMD hasn't supported NT 6.2 since Catalyst 14.6 (so since 2014!)... Subsequent driver installs on Windows 8.0 came from the Windows 7 version. That's why I found it odd that out of nowhere in 2016 and onward the drivers produce a BSOD... Oh well.
See you have taught me something valuable as well, so thanks for posting.
It's a shame as a lot of people still prefer 6.2 over 6.3. But that exploit is now a brick wall. I guess you could remove the corresponding update affiliated with patching the exploit, but this would leave your machine vulnerable.
Which update did you remove? If you remember.
In this case I tried installing the drivers on vanilla Windows 8.0 (no updates) and it BSOD mid install. I also tried installing with that update and it also BSOD.
To clarify, I installed the drivers directly through Device Manager pointing to the INF. It BSOD at the point where you hear the Windows hardware changing sounds and the screen flashes to the monitor's resolution.
Okay. Because I'm interested in the issue, give me a week and I'll get a few AMD cards out and get windows 8 on a test rig.
Could you let me know your hardware so I can keep it as coherent to your build as possible?
I have a R9 380 4GB. You can test with any of the drivers from 16.9.1 up until the most recent (I think now it's up to 18.12.3) and you will find the same BSOD with the same error message. If you need me to test anything on my rig just say it.


Who doesn't wish for more time to tackle the myriad tasks vying for our attention? You don't need more hours in the day, though, only minutes. Tuneup your workflow with these time-saving tricks and you'll find yourself getting more done in less time.
If you input a lot of data and you're not a particularly fast typist, use voice recognition. A fairly mature technology, voice recognition has been built into the Windows operating system since Windows Vista and can be enabled from the Ease of Access applet found in the Control Panel.
Use Dragon NaturallySpeaking to create documents and control common PC programs.
You can also use a third-party app like Dragon NaturallySpeaking, which packs additional algorithms to leverage the context of the entire sentence for greater accuracy. Advanced features like the ability to launch applications, switch between them, or even initiate an Internet search allows you to navigate the desktop without having to lift a finger.
Be sure to configure your PC and devices to sync with each other so you can switch between them without missing a beat. Cloud storage services such as Dropbox, SugarSync, and SkyDrive make files accessible from any device with an Internet connection, while Web browsers such as Chrome and Firefox can keep your bookmarks and browser settings synchronized between laptops, desktops, and mobile devices.
Those business cards you amassed at your last conference aren't going to enter themselves into your address book. Fortunately, you don't have to manually type each one in. Instead, you can use a business card scanner to capture the data in your contact list. If you don't network enough to justify splurging on a dedicated card scanner, check out the many smartphone and tablet apps—such as CamCard and WorldCard HD—do the same with the built-in cameras found on mobile devices.
If you're still using a PC powered by a traditional hard disk drive (HDD), do yourself a favor and upgrade to the speedier solid-state drive (SSD). Your productivity—and blood pressure—will thank you for that, as you launch apps and move files around without a lag. As a bonus, physical bumps and jolts that would normally damage the spinning platter in a HDD are unlikely to have an affect an SSD. Of course, the flash memory chips inside an SSD works differently than a HDD though, so be sure to take proper care of it.
Rather than manually powering your laptop off and on between appointments, set it to go into "Sleep" mode instead. This keeps power flowing to the system RAM to maintain the state of the PC, allowing it to power up fully in seconds. In general, the power drain on a modern laptop in sleep mode is sufficiently low that it isn't a consideration for regular commutes.
To set this, go to Control Panel and click on Power Options. From there, select "Change advanced power settings" to bring up the "Power Options" dialog shown below.
Put your laptop in sleep mode when you're in transit.
Many business-class laptops come with an integrated fingerprint reader, which unfortunately sits unused most of the time. If your laptop has one, it shouldn't take more than 10 minutes to configure it to recognize your digits using its preinstalled fingerprint management software. Being able to authenticate yourself using your fingerprint saves you precious seconds from not having to type your password every time you log into your laptop.
If you've never used a dual-monitor rig, you don't know what you're missing. Having additional desktop real estate allows you to position windows so that they are readily accessible without having to hunt through your taskbar for the app that you need. An alternative would be to go for a single-display setup with an ultra large screen measuring at least 27-inches. The additional space will allow you to line up more windows without too much overlapping.
Getting the hang of some common shortcut keys can help you get things done much faster. The most basic shortcuts would be CTRL+C, CTRL+V and CTRL+X, which are used for copy, paste, and cut, respectively. CTRL+Z and CTRL+Y allow you to undo and redo your last action, which is particularly useful in productivity apps such as a word processor.
For window management, the Windows Key+E combo brings up the Windows File Explorer, while ALT-F4 closes the current window. Finally, if you're using your Web browser, holding on to the CTRL key while scrolling your wheel mouse zooms in and out of your document or browser window.

I am running the Cardiff Half Marathon for NSPCC because their work to help vulnerable children is vital.
NSPCC are the leading children's charity fighting to end child abuse in the UK, Channel Islands and Isle of Man. Helping children who have been abused to rebuild their lives, protect those at risk, and find the best ways of preventing abuse from ever happening.
I am proud to be joining the NSPCC team for the Cardiff Half Marathon. This will be my first half marathon. I started running again early this year as a bid to get fit again after have two kids. I have really fallen in love with running and have been steadily increasing distance and speed! I really hope you will sponsor me and support this great cause!


A view from the bike course.
We are approaching "Go time!" for Alaskaman race departure and I carved out some time to share a few more nifty details that I think many of you will appreciate.
First off, if you would like to follow along on our all-day adventure, (literally the sun rises around 4:45AM, and does not set until 11:15PM), you can track us on the app RaceJoy.
I have learned over the past year that it is a unique kind of athlete that signs up for a race like this, and I am certain that I will be sharing this event with a fantastic group of people. All of them are tough and adventurous, clearly, however, some of them have never even raced a full ironman distance triathlon, but were intrigued and inspired by this race, and decided to give it a go. I think that is amazing. It's also a little nutty, but I can't wait to explore Alaska with these soon-to-be no longer strangers. There are also two very special competitors traveling from Arizona that deserve some attention, Ultraman Austraila's second place female finisher, and bike course record holder, Mary Knott, and her prolific Ironman finisher husband, Army Veteran, and social media maven, Dan Beaver.
Mary and Dan at the Oceanside 70.3 awards ceremony.
Mary and Dan are my teammates on TeamHPB, where we receive the careful and creative guidance of Hillary Biscay as our coach. Mary is one of TeamHPB's coaches, too, so she is shepherding her own group of tenacious and passionate athletes toward their triathlon goals. Meanwhile, I have been in awe of Mary for quite some time because she is not only an accomplished triathlete, but she is rooted in trail running, and her swimming prowess dominates both the pro and age-group ranks. However, the best part is that Mary has reached her many accolades by curating years of hard work and hustle. To say that I am looking forward to sharing a race course with her is the understatement of the year.
Another worthy note about Dan and Mary is that they own and operate the top Running store in Gilbert, AZ, Cadence Running Company. Many of you know how much I value the importance of wearing proper running shoes, and how being fit for the correct shoe for you is the key to comfortable and competitive running.
Therefore, even though I live in Southern California, I ordered from Cadence Running Company a few months ago, because I wanted to go the Top Gun of running stores, and they had my order shipped to me quickly. So, if you are ever nearby Gilbert, go visit the store in person, if not, check out their website and order the goods from afar.
Regarding the race itself, a few folks have asked me if this race is a Kona qualifier, no, it is not. The only races that are Kona qualifiers are branded Ironman races, and this race is an "extreme triathlon", so it is not in the same lane at all as Ironman. In fact, the distances are different as well, and seem to be ever-changing, a natural effect of an inaugural race in such challenging terrain as Alaska's, but the current distances are: 2.6 mile swim, 111 mile bike ride, 27.2 mile run.
This race is truly a one-off experience that we are choosing to race because it exists, that's it, not because it leads to any other level of greatness or grandeur. Choosing to sign up for a race like this verses an Ironman is like taking a big bite out of life blindfolded, instead of taking a big bite with your eyes wide open. Both are mighty mouthfuls of adventure, but with Ironman you know what to expect, and know you will be taken care of, whereas the visionary team behind Alaskaman is literally sending us into the wilderness with a bell and a thumb's up. I can't wait!
