Quite rightly, the Transat Jacques Vabre start didn't go as initially planned on Sunday Quite rightly, the Transat Jacques Vabre start didn't go as initially planned on Sunday. Posted today at 6:00 pm Not into the eye of the storm Winning the Flying Fifteen Nationals, the Squib Inlands and runner-up in the Osprey Nationals We chatted with Ben McGrane to find out about the busy schedule he and Hyde Sails had in September in a variety of classes, including the Flying Fifteen Nationals, the 70th Anniversary Osprey Nationals, and the Squib UK Inlands. Related Articles A busy and successful Autumn for Hyde Sails Until this is resolved the teams will be restricted to the 24 metre wings in light winds and sailing with fewer crew onboard to minimise the weight. Maybe the racing would have seen more foiling if the vast 29 metre wings were available, but these are out of action while the SailGP technical team investigate why Peter Burling and Blair Tuke's New Zealand team's wing catastrophically collapsed in St. ![]() It's tricky to say whether this tactic was decisive as it was their early gybe after the first mark which was the winning move, benefitting from seeing ROCKWOOL Denmark Team and the Australian SailGP Team fall into a light patch ahead of them. Nicolai Sehested's ROCKWOOL Denmark Team seem to have found a mode which gets them up and away well, winning Races 4 and 5 on Sunday ahead of the top-three shootout, while Jimmy Spithill decided to helm and control the ride-height himself in the final race, putting two sailors on the grinders when sailing with four on board. In the lighter winds teams are developing different strategies for getting the F50s foiling earlier. Tom Slingsby, CEO and driver of Australia SailGP Team, prepares for racing on Race Day 2 of the Spain Sail Grand Prix in Cadiz, Spain - photo © Ricardo Pinto for SailGP This is where one boat has slightly more wind than another, enabling them to get on the foils and travel up to four times faster than their competitors. For sure there are mismatches in sport, but this isn't the case here as the sailors are all top-class. So, while Formula 1 is criticised for predictability, should SailGP be lambasted for its lack thereof?Īfter watching Sunday's racing, I was trying to think of a single other sport where there is a point when competitors can be travelling at such wildly different speeds as foiling and non-foiling boats. Winning the start is regarded as key in sailing, and is also often pivotal in SailGP, but there were times, especially in the three-boat final race in Cádiz, where being behind on the start proved to be advantageous. In marginal foiling conditions errors are amplified and races have the potential to go inside-out repeatedly as the F50s go on and off the foils. This past weekend's Spain Sail Grand Prix in Cádiz, Andalucía showed just how topsy-turvy SailGP can be: winner of the previous two events, Sir Ben Ainslie's Emirates GBR, finished eighth, and Diego Botin's Spain SailGP team won Race 1 and finished last in Race 5, with a compete mix of results in-between.Įmirates Great Britain SailGP Team helmed by Ben Ainslie on Race Day 1 of the Spain Sail Grand Prix in Cadiz, Spain - photo © Ricardo Pinto for SailGP Verstappen's domination is almost total, having won fourteen of this season's seventeen races held so far, with the other drivers openly saying they are competing for second place.Īt first glance, SailGP could be regarded in the same way, with the Australian SailGP Team, helmed by Tom Slingsby, winning all three seasons so far and leading the Season 4 Championship by seven points, but there's a lot more to it. ![]() Red Bull's Max Verstappen this season is on 433 points with his team-mate Sergio Perez, his closest rival, an extraordinary 209 points behind.

![]() ![]() Comparisons to the Lincoln Aviator are inevitable, and in both exterior and interior design, the XT6 simply has a less luxurious presence. Whether the vehicle says luxury tends to matter to luxury buyers. 2020 Cadillac XT6 Sport | photo by Fred Meier Does It Say Luxury The tow rating is a relatively modest 4,000 pounds, but if your needs are more substantial or you tow a lot, the Escalade is Cadillac’s better choice. On balance, the XT6 is well-behaved and comfortable, though also unexceptional, and its overall appeal would benefit from a more exciting power option. Braking was strong and pedal feel was linear. The variable steering was light enough for parking lots but firmed up nicely at speed, and it was precise though without much road feedback. It provided improved cornering and understeer, and added a feel of rear bias. The Sport also gets its own torque-vectoring all-wheel-drive system with an electronically controlled dual-clutch rear differential that can shift torque side to side. 2020 Cadillac XT6 Sport | photo by Fred Meier The standard suspension also had a smooth ride but seemed busier and bumpier by comparison. A bonus with the adaptive suspension is noticeably better ride quality both on city streets and on the highway. That is especially true with the Sport trim level, which includes an adaptive suspension (optional on the Premium Luxury), as well as a quicker steering ratio and sportier transmission tuning. It’s a fairly big SUV but feels smaller, with modest lean in corners and controlled body motion. ![]() The XT6 is no sports sedan, but its driving manners are more carlike and agile than its size would lead you to expect. The automatic engine stop-start is very smooth and no doubt helps with the XT6’s EPA-estimated 20 mpg combined, but it also comes with an off switch. It does seem a little noisy when pushed, not intruding on the quiet cabin but sounding a little coarser than I expected in a luxury SUV. The transmission is well-behaved, with smooth shifts and willing downshifts, and the tuning is well-matched with the V-6 in this SUV. The competent V-6 is up to the job, with strong power delivery and adequate, if not flashy, acceleration, both off-the-line and in mid-range passing or on-ramps. The standard (and only) power is GM’s ubiquitous 310-horsepower V-6 that puts out 271 pounds-feet of torque, mated to a nine-speed automatic transmission and front- or all-wheel drive. 2020 Cadillac XT6 Sport | photo by Fred Meier How It Drives Other premium rivals, by size and price, include the Acura MDX and Audi Q7. (Per our ethics policy, pays for its own lodging and travel for such automaker-sponsored events.) The event also included a preview of the refreshed 2020 XT5, Cadillac’s global best-seller and its contestant in the red-hot luxury compact SUV market.Ī day in the new XT6, which is on sale now, revealed it to be a capable and comfortable SUV without glaring faults, but also one that doesn’t raise the bar for the breed with the kind of surprises or additional variants - or “presence” - that rival Lincoln brought to the SUV party with the new Aviator. I drove both trim levels - each with additional packages - on Washington, D.C., streets and in the Virginia foothills at a Cadillac drive event. 2020 Cadillac XT6 Premium Luxury | photo by Fred Meier Both XT6 variants offer a Platinum package with additional upscale trimmings, as well as additional tech and feature packages, but the choices still remain relatively simple compared with European brands’ a la carte menus. The two reflect Cadillac’s current “Y strategy” for trim levels that diverge into a luxury track or a sportier track. The XT6 seats seven with a second-row bench or six with optional captain’s chairs and is offered in just two trim levels: Premium Luxury with a bit more bling and a Sport version with black trimmings and some added performance bits. And there is an even bigger gap in price, with the ‘Slade starting more than $20,000 higher. ![]() Like the GMC Acadia with which it shares its DNA, the new mid-size XT6 is a “tweener” with a modest third row rather than a full-on three-row model, leaving a gap in the lineup with the full-size, truck-based Escalade and its even more capacious ESV stretch variant. Related: 2020 Cadillac XT5 Adds More Standard Tech, New Base Engine The latest addition is the 2020 XT6 that fills a big gap below the super-sized (and super-priced) Escalade. Cadillac is in the midst of a product rollout to fill holes in its lineup that lagged the market shift to SUVs, having just added the XT4 small utility for 2019. ![]() ![]() If you don’t replace the spark plugs at the recommended intervals, you’re most likely going to suffer from a rougher idle and reduced fuel economy, but waiting too long could result in reduced reliability and even being stranded on the side of the road. Only in the most absolute worst-case scenario would an old spark plug create a safety issue or cause damage to your engine, but worn out spark plugs will definitely affect the performance of your engine. What Happens If You Don’t Replace Spark Plugs? The spark plugs on a 1997-2006 Jeep Wrangler are super easy to change out, but that isn’t the case with all cars/engines. Knowing how to replace spark plugs is basically the same across all types of engines, but this job tends to be easier on vehicles equipped with an inline engine rather than wider V-6 or V-8 engines. The spark plug screws into the cylinder and head, and they are connected using either plug wires or coil packs. It is extremely important that your vehicle’s spark plugs are functioning properly to maximize reliability and fuel efficiency, so be sure to replace spark plugs regularly. ![]() Most engines feature one spark plug per cylinder, but some newer, more advanced engines feature two spark plugs per cylinder. As the name suggests, the spark plug creates a spark in the combustion chamber to ignite the air/fuel mixture, which drives your engine. Spark plugs are as important to your engine as the gasoline in your tank. When in doubt, always consult your owner’s manual, or follow our comprehensive guide on how to replace your spark plugs at home.īrand new spark plug (left) versus old, worn out spark plug (right). If you plan to replace your spark plugs yourself, be sure to choose the right parts to fit your vehicle. Keep in mind: There are many different types of spark plugs, and not all plugs fit all vehicles. Your exact replacement cost will also depend on how many spark plugs are needed (typically between 4 and 16) and whether you choose long-life platinum-tipped spark plugs or cheaper conventional ones. You can reduce the cost to replace spark plugs by doing this job yourself.

Image used with permission by copyright holder She holds up the cloth then defiantly drops it to the ground. As Juliette walks outside, breathing heavily, everyone in the silo looks on from the camera. The ritualistic act is typically a last move from former residents before seemingly perishing. Terrified, Juliette is outfitted with the elaborate suit and, as is customary with everyone who leaves, is given a cleaning cloth to wipe the camera lens and give everyone a clearer view of the outside. Sims and Bernard capture Juliette and tell the citizens she requested to “go outside,” though she did no such thing. After a high-action run through the Silo that involves kidnapping Sims’ wife, learning of secret cameras behind mirrors, and getting help from defectors in IT, the walls begin to close in. In a major twist, as Juliette gets closer to the truth, she discovers that both Bernard and Sims are in on a lie and cover-up, protecting secrets that are yet to be known. But what, why, and who is behind it? ‘I want to go outside’ Image used with permission by copyright holder After several mysterious deaths, including shockingly Mayor Ruth and Holston’s former partner Deputy Marnes (Will Patton), Juliette is certain something sinister is going on. So is the head of security Sims (Common), who wanted his friend and deputy Paul Billings (Chinaza Uche) in the position instead. She doesn’t know who she can trust.īernard (Tim Robbins), the head of IT, is opposed to her being appointed to the authoritative position. The discovery of every clue leads to the realization that she needs to tread lightly. Juliette doesn’t see this, but she continues to be suspicious. Would they really want to “go outside” to find out? Is it worth the risk? Image used with permission by copyright holder They quickly shake it off, reverting to the “no, it can’t be” state of blissful ignorance and blind following. It’s just a split second, but it’s enough to make a few residents do a double-take. Instead of a dark wasteland, an image of luscious greenery and birds appears on the massive screen residents look at all day. But first, she has work to do fixing a bent blade in the turbine that’s crucial to the functioning of the silo.ĭoing this requires a forced temporary black-out, and during the hours of blackness, the power momentarily glitches. She might be able to make George’s death mean something and uncover the truth that they had been getting so close to before his death. Based on silo rules, Mayor Ruth (Geraldine James) wants to honor his request, despite her reservations about a lowly engineer with no experience in law enforcement being the preferred option of her cohorts.Īfter first rejecting the position, Juliette realizes the access would afford her the opportunity to dig deeper, taking her out of the dark depths of the basement and able to explore the entire silo. The pair secretly investigate, and eventually, Holston decides he has to know the truth for himself, so he requests to go outside and names Juliette as his successor. Over time, Juliette begins to trust Holston and he, despite his fierce loyalty to the silo, can’t shake the feeling that her theories sound just like his late wife’s. She believes he was murdered and Holston wants to know why. She is convinced George’s untimely death, which occurred long after Allison left, was no suicide. ![]() Pivotal to the plot is Holston’s meeting Juliette (Rebecca Ferguson), George’s close friend (later revealed to be his romantic partner) and the silo’s lead engineer. Enter Juliette Image used with permission by copyright holder Years later, something (or someone) convinces Holston that he needs to go outside, too.

But months, a full year later, they still can’t get pregnant. They were elated to be given “permission” to have Allison’s birth control device removed.

This is true as far as it goes, but when you start talking about deep space warfare, certain things change. Thanks to Andrew Presby for setting me straight on this matter.įirst off, the EMP I just described is High Altitude EMP (HEMP). This EMP can only be generated if there is a Terra strength magnetic field and a tenuous atmosphere present. ![]() ![]() A nuke going off in deep space will not generate HEMP. Please be aware, however, if a nuke over Iowa generates a HEMP event, the EMP will travel through the airless vacuum of space just fine and fry any spacecraft that are too close. Secondly, EMP can also be generated in airless space by an e-Bomb, which uses chemical explosives and an armature. No magnetic field nor atmosphere required. This is called a Non-nuclear electromagnetic pulse (NNEMP). As with all EMPs, once generated they will travel through space and kill spacecraft. Thirdly, there is System Generated EMP (SGEMP) to consider. HEMP is created when the gamma rays from the nuclear detonation produce Compton electrons in air molecules, and the electrons interact with a magnetic field to produce EMP. But with SGEMP, gamma rays penetrating the body of the spacecraft accelerated electrons, creating electromagnetic transients. SGEMP impacts space system electronics in three ways.
