Zero XP, the electric 'concept' with overflowing personality
Akrapovic posted a topic in Auto / Moto
After a short time after presenting what should be his workhorse, the SR / F, Zero Motorcycles has presented the Zero XP, a personalization on this naked electric, created by Hugo Eccles, Untitled Motorcycles. We are delighted with Hugo's work, since we saw his Hyper Scrambler, "says Brian Wismann, vice president of product development at Zero," We think the SR / F was perfect for Hugo's design style. " For the designer, who studied at the Royal College of Art in London and worked for Ford on 'concept' cars, the SR / F project gives him total design freedom: "When it comes to a combustion engine, it has a series of physical limitations, such as the fuel tank, which must be located on the top of the engine so that the gasoline falls by gravity; the exhaust is designed to avoid heat in the fuel or in the pilot, and so on. But those rules do not apply to an electric motorcycle, and that freedom is an incredible opportunity for a designer. " Then, that allows to emphasize the multitubular chassis, for example. Eccles has maintained the side panels for the knees, which he considers fundamental for the control of the Zero. "From the beginning I did not want to hide the whole battery or the engine behind a fairing," says Hugo. The inverted fork, the JJuan radial clamps or the attractive asymmetric swingarm are also visible. In gray, with a pair of front wings (that integrate a tiny LED lights) and its sharp tail, the Zero XP looks like a fighter: "With XP, you're literally driving the engine. This is a powerful motorcycle and I wanted to physically embody that power, "says Eccles.

The Colombian made variations in his training system. Nairo Quintana plays his success of the season in this edition of the Tour de France. Since he was second in 2013, the goal has been to win the competition. He returned to second in 2015 and finished third in 2016. The last two years he also planned for victory, but it did not go well: he finished 12th in 2017 and was tenth last year. 'It has been a nervous day': Nairo In Europe they say that Nairo has already defined his future Egan Bernal spoke of the 'hell' that lives at the end of each stage For 2019, the boyacense has not changed his mind. He continues with his motto of the 'yellow dream', so his preparation focused on it in July. Movistar, his team, helped him; for that reason, the Italians Michele Bartoli and Maximilian Sciandri were very aware of the work that Quintana did. Both have experience in high level cycling and know how to face a season in which the goal is the Tour de France. Nairo, Movistar and Colombia hope that this work will be translated, finally, in the victory of the Colombian, who varied in some way his way of training for 2019. "Nairo has, sure, a lot of confidence in the work he does. I must say that normally it is a plus that believes in what is done, in those who prepare it, and that was done, "Bartoli told EL TIEMPO. "A job was planned specifically for him. The exams for several periods were made in Colombia and Monaco, where he lives, where he spends some time. Something was changed from last year, and he assimilated it well. The sensations are good, and that is key because it must reach the races with good conditions, "said the Italian. The key in the training was not only in regaining confidence, as Sciandri told TIME, but in talking to him and identifying some drawbacks he had to adjust the charges. We changed the time of work, of the repetitions, and emphasis was placed on the encouragement of force "The most important thing was the periodization of the work, we took data every day, and if we saw that it had to be modified, it was done, it was a very personalized program, we knew what it would do three days later and we analyzed the result to continue with it. plan or change, "he said. He added: "The issue of repetitions was key. We decided that day by day. The idea was to go up several times, for example, a promotion and analyze the result. These repetitions were made day by day, week by week, and the physical response of Nairo was taken into account. The work, clearly, was to raise this height so many times, rather than going on the plain. " Bartoli trusts that all this work will be reflected during this Tour de France, but that did not stop everything. "Another key point was the force that is used to try to balance the body. In the past winter, that work was done with him. He had a plan for him to exercise at the gym. With all that, Nairo goes to the Tour to win it and has seen that it has good chances. I am happy for what we have done, and satisfied because that work was well studied, planned and carried out, "Bartoli said.

With the confirmed international headquarters (Madrid), little by little the list of 16 who will fight to obtain the most prestigious title of Hispanic freestyle is unveiled. Three days ago, Lobo Estepario joined the call after winning the National Final of Mexico. In this list of 16 members will be present the podium of last year's edition: the current champion Wos, the 2017 international champion, Aczino; and the Colombian Valles-T, who obtained a meritorious third place last year in his second participation in a Red Bull International. To these three classified will be added the national champions of each of the editions of each participating country. In Chile, just a couple of weeks ago, Teorema was able to qualify after proclaiming himself the champion of his country in his first intervention in that competition. Last Sunday, in Mexico, the second representative of the country was met ahead of this new international event (together with Aczino). Lobo Estepario was proclaimed champion for the first time in his career after beating Skiper in the final. The Mexican had already reached in two other editions to the final, but until his third chance he would not get the pass to the International. Last year he lost to Rapder, and in the 2015 edition before Aczino. The national finals of several countries in Latin America, such as Argentina, Venezuela or Peru, among others, have yet to be celebrated. In addition, this Saturday will be the national final of the country that will host this new International Red Bull Battle of the Roosters. Spain will know the MC that will take over from Bnet, the current national champion who, on this occasion, will be a jury. The sixteen qualified to this appointment will be the faces in Barcelona to be able to represent the European country in the International to try to return the title to Spain, title that since the victory of Skone in 2016 has not returned to conquer.

It was discovered by the Police of Medellín in raids on several places where they get tattoos, because it is a substance that has a different smell. The operations were carried out this weekend in the neighborhoods of Seville, Cisneros, Poblado, Belén and others in the center of the city, where the soldiers found a sale of "marijuana camouflaged in foods such as chocolates with aluminum foil wrappers and capsules with marihuana oil ", which according to the institution is consumed" in vaporizers and electric cigarettes ". The Police explained, through a statement, that the idea of smoking marijuana in these elements is to avoid raising suspicion, as they take advantage of the fact that vaping has become increasingly common in the streets. "The foregoing, with the purpose of evading the authorities' controls for its novel modality, because, in order to establish in the field that it is a narcotic substance, an approved preliminary identification test (PIPH) must be carried out, since its smell and characteristics are not typical of those that are commonly known, "said the institution. This same version was ratified by Elmecer Camacho, commander of the Metropolitan Police, in Telemedellín, who said that with this new modality to market and consume the substance, it is increasingly difficult to identify the person who is smoking. "We have capsules that are impregnated with marijuana in high concentration and are the ones that they use in vaporizers, in which they intensify the concentration and the effects of it. With this new method, in addition, seek to evade the controls of the authorities because it does not have the same smell of marijuana, "said the official at the station. In the search operations, the police arrested seven people, including six women, of whom there are three of Venezuelan nationality. In addition, says the statement, it was found that each chocolate with marijuana was sold at 10,000 pesos, while the essence of the same substance cost up to 25,000 pesos.

To celebrate the birth in 1969 of its model series R50 / 5, R60 / 5 and R75 / 5, the Bavarian brand launched a limited series of its naked retro, the BMW R nineT / 5. If the R nineT is already a precious motorcycle, this evocation of the models / 5 that marked the Boxer models of the seventies is simply lustful. And it's funny because when you see the BMW R nineT / 5 it sounds familiar, and is that fifty years later we can still see some of these models / 5 circulating with its characteristic blue color. A good way, without a doubt, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the birth of a model that signified the renewal of the Boxer myth, and the entrance to a new era. By the way, with this model also celebrate the 50 years of manufacture of motorcycles in the Spandau factory. The R nineT / 5 has special decoration in metallic blue with Option 719 white thread, spoke rims, fuel tank with rubber knee pads and rubber bellows in the fork, a very retro detail. In addition, it has chrome details such as mirrors, anodized pieces, heated grips, commemorative plaque and ASC. The rest of the technical specifications are maintained, such as the air-cooled boxer engine of 1170 c.c. and 110 HP, instrumentation or braking equipment. At the moment they have not commented on prices or availability.

We interviewed the youngest actress to get two Goya Awards and she talks about feminism, #MeToo and the variety of records of her career Light. If Natalia de Molina were described with an adjective, the most suitable one would be that, however trite it might sound. When Vanitatis meets her at the Palace Hotel, the day can not be more gray. She is serious, diligent and expresses much more even with her eyes than with the words that come out of her mouth. Callada or charlatan has light, that inexplicable quality that has turned many gods into mortals who have stood before a camera. But their problems are those of a mortal and not those of a God. In these moments, in fact, the actress is in the middle of moving. The transfer coincides with the promotion of his latest film, 'Animales sin collar', a story of political corruption and female self-assertion. Despite these setbacks, its brightness does not fade and it is a pleasure to see how it patiently adapts to changes in clothes, makeup or hairdressing. Also how he talks about that Marilyn Monroe that served as a connection with the director of the film, debutant Jota Linares. "What united us when I met him the first time is our passion for Marilyn," she says between brushstrokes of makeup and brushstrokes of mascara. Of subtle eroticism and naive pose, Natalia would be something like the Andalusian Marilyn passed by the feminist sieve of the XXI century that also has 'Animals without a collar'. "As a child I disguised myself as Marilyn Monroe without knowing who Marilyn Monroe was. My mother laughed a lot and said to me: "More than Marilyn Monroe you look like Dolly Parton", she tells us between laughs. Our talk with the youngest person to win two Goya (she is 28 years old despite Wikipedia giving her two less) does not just mean talking about the protagonist of 'The temptation lives up' or feminism (she is the daughter of a divorced mother and sister of three women, one of whom, Celia, is also an actress), but of her relationship with the #MeToo movement, the care she gives her physique or her hair ("although I am a bit of a disaster", she confesses) or her relationship with fame and with his childhood. This is, without additives, Natalia de Molina. The #MeToo in Spain Question: The film is very feminine and it is in full movement #MeToo although the script was earlier, what do you think about the sexual harassment cases that drove it? Why in the cinema do not we put names and surnames to the bullies as it has been done in the United States? Answer: Weinsteins are in all professions and in all places. I do not know if there is a fear of giving names here, but I do not know how good or useful it is to give them. Saying a name can generate sensationalism and, being such a harsh situation, each person has their process and we must respect both the one who wants to say it and the one who does not. Q: Would you give names? A: I do not know if I would say it or not. I have opinions on that subject. I am sure that harassment is experienced in Spanish cinema, but also in all professions. Q: Two Goya being so young, the possibility of choosing characters in such a difficult industry ... What do your lifelong friends tell you when you return to the south of your childhood? A: My lifelong friends flip and when we are together we think about how strong it is that they go to the cinema to see me. We've known each other since we were very small and they tell me about that, it's a strange sensation but also a beautiful one. Q: You have an actress sister, Celia. Did you dream that one day this would happen at two o'clock? A: She was, precisely, the one who invented all the shows that made us act in front of the family. We also had a camera and we still have many videos in which she says: "Natalia, put yourself there and do not know what". It was always like a children's game that in the end has become our profession. From drama to comedy And that profession is what has taken Natalia to a privileged place where she can pass from the minimalism of 'Ceiling and food' to the aphrodisiac laughter of 'Kiki'. Being able to choose has made her a lucky one who now gets into the skin of Nora, the wife of a hypothetical new president of the Junta de Andalucía with many dirty rags to hide; a brave woman with a cañí accent who ends up discovering her own identity in a postcard Andalusia of the Far West. Question: What led you to 'Animals without a collar'? Answer: The empowerment of history. The usual thing would have been that history was centered on the politician who wins the elections. Men are always the protagonists. However, this is her trip, which has to keep a secret so it does not come out. A journey of self-discovery and freedom, of realizing that he wants to take charge of his life. It seems to me a very important message because there are many Noras, not only in Spain, but in the world. Many women who have been educated in the concept of pleasing the other. Q: Your director, Jota Linares, you already knew him. How has it been working with him? A: The good thing about Jota is that, although he is a man, he has an incredible sensitivity and has lived with a super-warrior mother. He really wanted

The former president is growing critical of the Havana Agreement, defending his government work and proposing that the JEP be integrated into ordinary justice. These days, former President Andres Pastrana is fully involved with issues of electoral politics, touring the country along with the leadership of the Conservative Party, defining candidacies and guarantees for the elections of local and regional authorities next October. In the middle of the week he was in that task in Armenia and it was there where he granted this interview, in which he did not miss the opportunity to intensify his criticisms against the Peace Agreement reached by Juan Manuel Santos with the FARC and to defend his government work , criticized as a result of the failure of its approaches with this guerrilla. A counterpoint in which he insists that transitional justice, before ending it, must be integrated into ordinary justice, and proposes a Plan Colombia version 2.0. (Read: Marta Lucía Ramírez: Government of Santos left no budget for peace) It is striking that you, who cleared the Farc 42,000 kilometers to negotiate peace, now be a bitter critic of the Agreement that Juan Manuel Santos made ... First, we must clarify that 42,000 kilometers in Colombia are nothing. As Tirofijo said: "They did not clear anything to me, that land belongs to us", and it was true. People mention the empty chair, but the ones that went wrong were the FARC because we unmasked them. I later told Manuel Marulanda: "I am going to create the largest and most intelligent Army in Latin America," and he ended up being the largest terrorist in the world. I left Álvaro Uribe the most powerful army in the continent, and that is why he was able to work on his democratic security. But do not you think that, at the same time, the FARC managed to strengthen themselves with that clearance? On the contrary, they ended up having parties and bacchanalia, they did not train. Some say that what ended them was the demilitarized zone. The US $ 7.5 trillion we got with the Americans in Plan Colombia was what allowed Uribe's democratic security policy to be developed. Without those resources, nothing could have been done. There is an email from Marulanda that says that "Pastrana destroyed us internationally". There was not a case of kidnapping in the demilitarized zone and the day we realized what was happening in it, we immediately finished the peace process. In the past, the FARC committed up to 2,000 terrorist acts per year: attacks, kidnappings, capture of villages. Today those figures do not reach a hundred on the part of dissent, is not that enough to support the peace process, even if it has shortcomings? That of the 2,000 acts a year was distorted, because what the Army did was that, in the so-called "Pescas" of the Farc, for example, retained ten buses and if in each of them were a hundred people, they were counted as thousand kidnapped. I never heard the figure of 2,000. We came from the Samper government, from the attacks in Patascoy, Las Delicias, El Billar: the worst military defeats. And in the capture of Mitú, only, it is estimated that between 1,200 and 1,500 guerrillas died. Sadly, it must be said, because they were Colombians. It was the hardest blow that was given to the Farc. In Mitú the war in Colombia changed, because they wanted to go to the territorial war and leave the guerrilla war, and there they suffered the worst loss. (You may be interested: The Church, concerned about the implementation of the Peace Agreement) I insist, the FARC were one of the greatest evils in Colombia for fifty years and today they are not, is not that enough? I do not think, on the contrary, and sorry to say it: when we left 40,000 hectares of coca with Plan Colombia; when we had defeated the FARC, because what leads them to sit at the negotiating table is Plan Colombia, what did Santos leave us ?: 300,000 hectares of coca and the Farc as the largest drug cartel in the world, multiplying their income . President Duque has had to fight the FARC, the Bacrim and the ELN, all financed with the resources of drug trafficking. Today there is a territory absolutely controlled by drug trafficking. But there are no more miracle fishing, kidnappings have diminished and thousands of deaths have been prevented thanks to peace agreements ... Thanks to Plan Colombia. When I arrived at the government there were four combat helicopters and we left thirty; There were thirty transport helicopters and we left 150. That changed the war. When I came to the government we had the worst defeats in the Army, with about a thousand soldiers kidnapped and there was nothing to fight with.

The Bavarian brand has revealed some details of its range for next year, so here you have the BMW 2020 and its new colors. Of all the BMW 2020 models shown, the new colors are detailed and if there is any change in their standard equipment. The vast majority of models only receive chromatic changes, some include new options and, a few, improvements in their standard equipment. Thus, the major tourist attractions of the brand, the BMW K 1600 GT / GTL, the K 1600 B and K 1600 Grand America incorporate reverse gear as standard. The latter, in addition, will also equip audio equipment. Another example is that the R 1250 GS can now be ordered with the spoke wheels in black or gold, whatever the color range chosen. As for the BMW F 750 GS, F 850 GS and F 850 GS Adventure, the Rallye and Exclusive stickers will be on their flanks in their respective versions. And one last good news is that, at last, the BMW RnineT will carry ASC traction control as standard. And, of course, the range of colors available for the Option 719 special equipment is also updated. If some model does not show new colors, it is that something happens ... For that reason in the next hall of Milan it could be that we see the new RnineT equipped with the boxer air motor adapted to the Euro 5, a renewed S 1000 XR and a new electric scooter C evolution, for example ...

The Argentines, wounded in their pride, will fight for the third place in the Cup against the Chileans. The team led by Lionel Scaloni still thinks about the painful, and for them unfair, defeat in the semifinals against Brazil 2-0 at the Mineirao stadium in Belo Horizonte. Criticism of Ecuadorian Roddy Zambrano's arbitration, signaled by star Lionel Messi and even by the Argentine Football Association (AFA), which formally presented its complaints to CONMEBOL, still collects in the albiceleste concentration. Messi and company now intend to transform the disconsolate for not being in the Maracana final, in anger and motivation to face at the Corinthians Arena from Sao Paulo to Chile, with which they have several outstanding accounts. Chile was its executioner in the finals of the Copa América of Chile 2015 and Centenario 2016, in the United States. Both times the Argentines fell in the penalty shootout and the blow was so strong, because in memory there was still the defeat in the final of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil against Germany, that shirt 10 temporarily renounced the selection. Three years later, the drought of a great title -from the Copa América of 1993 do not win one- continues, although the sensations in this Copa América final are not so depressing. The team has gone from less to more in the competition and begins to form an exciting group. Do not mess with Arias! Government went out to protect the Chilean goalkeeper The Conmebol responds to Argentina for controversy around the VAR The complaints continue, Scaloni says that they had merits to be in final Argentina started the tournament with a defeat against Colombia (0-2), tied with Paraguay (1-1), met Qatar (2-0), beat Venezuela in the quarterfinals (2-0) and in the semifinals against Brazil They showed their best version, only the result did not go with them. The habitual holders are willing to continue with that evolution in the consolation final, although coach Scaloni will not be able to repeat the eleven that dominated the Canarinha. Two changes will be required by sanction, those of Marcos Acuña and Lautaro Martínez. In the place of the striker of Inter Milan seems almost certain the presence of Paulo Dybala, while the midfielder of Sporting Lisbon there are doubts about whether he will replace Giovani Lo Celso or Angel Di Maria. The sensations are radically different in Chile, where they are still looking for explanations to the unexpected setback by 0-3 against Peru that left them without the possibility of fighting for the triple crown in a row. Colombian coach Reinaldo Rueda said one of them when he said that they played the semi-final "thinking more" in the final on Sunday at the Maracana. A show of arrogance that may have put the final point to the generation of gold of the Chilean national team, whose main bulwarks are over thirty years of age. The illusion is minimal to try the bronze in the Corinthians Arena, at least for one of its leaders, Arturo Vidal, who came to claim, after the game against Peru, that the duel with Argentina "has no importance." The midfielder of Barcelona is also incognito to play for some pains in the ankle, and will be evaluated by doctors on Friday, as well as Gary Medel, who suffers some muscular discomfort. The lateral Jean Beausejour is also limping, although he is willing to risk, one more symptom of the end of the cycle that arrives in Chile.

The capital has welcomed the world leaders who came to commemorate the armistice of the First World War. There we saw both King Felipe and the president, Pedro Sánchez The iconic Arc de Triomphe de Paris became a few hours ago on the stage of the photo that marked the Sunday. The main international political leaders who shook hands to commemorate the centenary of the armistice that put an end to World War I were moving to the French capital. An appointment that gave pictures as face-to-face between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, the reunion of the American president with Angela Merkel or the solitary perch of King Felipe VI with the Macron (but without Letizia) and formalities or formal acts apart, a duel of inevitable style that seemed to focus on the manes of the first ladies present there. [READ MORE: The night Kate Middleton shined and Meghan was in the background] The President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, attended the international conclave with his wife, Begoña Gómez, who smiled with the French couple, who served as the master of ceremonies. There, the wife of the Spanish president wore a sky blue two-piece outfit that combined with a long coat of dark hue. Although what caught her attention was seeing her voluptuous mane with golden highlights that contrasted with Brigitte Macron's characteristic bob haircut.

Michelle Bachelet, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, visited Venezuela last week. He spent three days and met with various sectors of the country. This Thursday he presented his report, nothing favorable to Nicolás Maduro, who made 70 clarifications to the report. After years of insistence, the government of Nicolás Maduro, pushed by diplomatic pressure, agreed to have a visit from the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights to Venezuela. It was so that Michelle Bachelet arrived in Venezuela from June 19 to 21, and remained in the country for three days, meeting with all possible sectors. The Chilean president left the country last Friday and today presented her report of the visit. These are the five key points denounced by the UN High Commissioner in the document, which she will present tomorrow in Geneva. "The Government committed itself to solve some of the most difficult issues, including the use of torture and access to justice, and to facilitate unlimited entry to detention centers," Bachelet said in today's statement. Nicolás Maduro told Bachelet that the report is full of errors. The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela "requests the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner to adopt the necessary measures to correct the errors of the report A / HRC / 41/18", through a document that reports the errors of fact of the report of the High Commissioner. 1. Extrajudicial executions The report denounces the "surprisingly high" proportion of alleged extrajudicial executions committed by the Venezuelan security forces. The document also highlights that "pro-government civilian armed groups known as collectives have contributed to the deterioration of the situation, by imposing social control and helping to suppress demonstrations." The head of the UN calls in its conclusions for the dissolution of the Special Forces (FAES), to which he attributes in particular most of the 5,287 extrajudicial killings, supposedly due to "resistance to authority", during police operations in 2018. "Between January 1 and May 19 of this year, another 1,569 people were killed, according to the government's own statistics, and other sources suggest that the figures could be much higher," Bachelet points out. In addition there are 793 people arbitrarily deprived of freedom, says the High Commissioner. And just that issue has the Chavez government against the wall. On Saturday, Rafael Acosta Arévalo died in custody, in dark circumstances that indicate that he lost his life due to torture. In addition to the dissolution of the FAES and the "collectives", Bachelet recommends the creation of "an impartial and independent national mechanism" to analyze these extrajudicial executions, and asks the government to regularly publish comprehensive data on health, access to water and food, among others, of the Venezuelan po[CENSORED]tion. The report recalls that the High Commissioner has requested the creation of a permanent office in the South American country. 2. Serious economic crisis The UN report refers to the serious economic and social crisis, which worsened between 2018 and 2019. It highlights that the salary and subsidies barely cover four days of the month, which puts the po[CENSORED]tion at serious risk. "The Venezuelan po[CENSORED]tion is facing very diverse and interrelated violations of their economic and social rights." Bachelet acknowledges that despite the fact that the government has decreed several increases in the minimum wage, its purchasing power has declined to the point that it can no longer be considered a subsistence wage.
