There’s A New Hypercar On The Block And It’s Called Zenvo TS1

The Danish manufacturer of one
of the most powerful hypercars
in the world introduces a
revised model called the Zenvo
TS1 in Geneva.

The Zenvo TS1 combines new and remarkable driving dynamics both on street and track, limitless options for customization, with luxury
and exclusivity.

The manufacturer is planning to
build just fifteen cars, making this car a
collector’s item.

The new Zenvo TS1 conforms to the traditions and principles of the Zenvo ST1 – the legendary Danish hypercar that took the automotive world by surprise in 2009 and was instantly nominated ‘Super Car of the Year’ after its debut at the Le Mans 24hrs ‘Drivers Parade’.  The Zenvo ST1 series was limited to 15 hypercars, with a starting price of 800 000 Euro.

The evolutionary model Zenvo TS1 has retained its futuristic, aggressive Scandinavian design, top speed of 375 km/h, and day to day drivability.

The refinements over the previous
version have been driven by the desire to fulfil the wishes of the clients and their desired driving experience.

The TS1 is powered by a new in-house
developed 5.9L lightweight fast revving Twin- Supercharged V8 flat-plane engine that provides high performance and reliability on the road.

The new hypercar is available with two types of gearbox: a 7-speed synchronized paddle shift gearbox with auto mode, and a 7-speed race- inspired paddle shift gearbox with dog-engagement.
This is the fastest shifting single
clutch gearbox available in any street car today.

TS1 comes with subtle changes to the design and it is a bit sharper and more aggressive in keeping with the more sporty credentials of the new engine.

In order to optimize downforce the front splitter, rear wing and diffuser have been  redesigned. The rear bumper and ex
haust system have also been modified.

The interior of the hypercar has
dramatically changed, from the seats to the dashboard and centre console. The new interior has unlimited customization options of leather, Alcantara, carbon fibre and aluminium finish etc.

Snipers to guard stadium during France v Russia match

Elite French snipers will surround the Stade de France in Paris to provide security for the football match between France and Russia on Tuesday.

The additional security measures come after the deadly November attacks at several venues in Paris, including the Stade de France, where an explosion was heard inside the stadium during a
match being played between France and
Germany.

With another terror attack taking place in
Brussels last week, there is huge concern
surrounding the upcoming 2016 European Championships, due to be held in France this summer.

As the first international football friendly to be hosted in Paris since the November 2015 attacks, Russia’s visit holds a special significance for the French government and its
perceived ability to provide adequate security for international football fans.

The deputy director at the French National Police's Central Directorate of Public Security, Laurent Simon, has said that 400 police officers in addition to the snipers will be involved in patrolling the arena to ensure fans' safety.

Since the November attacks, French football’s top league, Ligue 1, has successfully continued to
host matches, while French champions Paris Saint-Germain have also hosted their Champions League Round of 16 tie against Chelsea.

The French government is likely to provide the maximum possible protection for visiting fans and players to ensure that confidence returns ahead of the summer tournament, although given how football fans continued to flock to matches in France after the November attacks, the Euros are likely to be as popular as ever with fans, regardless of security concerns.

Rivers abandons monorail project

The RIVERS State Government may have abandoned the multi-billion naira monorail project embarked upon by the immediate-past administration.

Governor Nyesom Wike, who gave this hint on Monday while speaking on a national television programme, Sunrise, said the people of the state did not want the continuation of the project.

Wike explained that in spite of his administration’s commitment to the completion of the projects abandoned by the Rotimi Amaechi administration,
the monorail would not be one of such projects.

He said, “Rivers people have told me not to touch the monorail project left behind by the other government.”

Wike said his administration had taken measures to improve the security of the state through funding of security interventions and provision of logistics
for security agencies.

The governor lamented that the state had been affected by the regular transfer of security chiefs from the state, blaming Amaechi for the development.

He said, “I won’t make a promise that I will not fulfill I don’t politicise development. My interest is to deliver the best for Rivers people.

“In spite of distractions, we have succeeded in completing many projects abandoned by the previous government. We also have cleared the backlog of unpaid salaries and pensions left by the
previous government.

“We have succeeded in restoring the judiciary and reopening courts shut down by the previous government. The Federal Government needs to allow security chiefs remain in Rivers State to do
their jobs and ease tensions.

“I have had over three Commissioners of Police removed since I became governor,”
Wike, who lamented the death of a corps member in the state recently, added.

Reacting to the position of Wike on the monorail project, the immediate-past state Commissioner for Transport, Mr. Tolofari George, said, “The monorail is a laudable project that should be
continued because it is a catalyst to jump-start our local economy and place Rivers State at the
forefront of transport infrastructural development.

“The vision is to take the monorail up to the airport in future traversing the city. A lot of River’s taxpayers’ monies have been sunk into that project that it should not be allowed to die. But Wike has
chosen to play politics with that project and it is most unfortunate.”

Ukrainian lady calls for ban on gays in police after husband falls for male officer

A man from a Ukrainian city apparently got so
fed up with arguing with his wife that when a gay police officer appeared at their door, he decided it was time to try batting for the other team. The wife filed a petition to ban homosexuals from the
force.

“I went through two weeks of hell trying to get my husband back, but all I got was a fine for making threats to that gay officer,” the petition text stated.

“People should be aware that when calling the police, they run the risk of losing a husband,” the woman warned. “Gay policemen in our city should be banned,” she added.

“It is well known in gay circles” that there are at least two gay men and one lesbian in the Ivano-Frankovsk police, the woman also noted.

The unfortunate wife from the western Ukrainian city of Ivano-Frankovsk filed the petition against LGBT people working in law enforcement after her husband apparently left her for a gay police
officer. The woman had called the police during a domestic fight and the officer responding to the incident was gay.

The call to ban gays from working in the police was published on Saturday and has collected five signatures so far, which isn’t as few as it sounds, considering it needs only 245 signatures by the end of June to be reviewed by local authorities.

Just recently Ruslan Martsinkiv, mayor of Ivano- Frankovsk, made a public statement saying that homosexuals lack patriotic feelings, and urged Ukraine to keep in mind “traditional values” as it
heads towards European integration.

The Game Reveals His ‘1992’ Album Won’t Have Any Features

The Game is making a bold move for his next album, 1992.

The Los Angeles native shared that his upcoming project will have no features; the rapper dropped the news on Instagram with the likely cover art. In
the caption, he made the announcement —
“#NOFEATURES.”

The featureless album comes as a step in another direction for The Game. The Documentary 2 (and The Documentary 2.5) was laden with guest appearances. Lil Wayne, Nas, Kendrick Lamar, Q-
Tip, Dr. Dre, Kanye West, Anderson .Paak and Busta Rhymes were just some of the artists who appeared on that album.

1992 ‘s possible cover art features a young Game with his infamous face tattoo — a star with the letters LA in the middle.

To release an album without featured artists nowadays is definitely ballsy. Last year, J. Cole’s 2014 Forest Hills Drive made history as the first rap album in 25 years to go platinum without any
features. It also nabbed three Grammy nominations.

Once a fairly common occurrence, major hip-hop albums that gained the platinum status without features include Run-D.M.C.’s Raising HellI, LL Cool
J’s Bigger and Deffer, Wu-Tang Clan’s Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) and Beastie Boys’ Paul’s Boutique.

No word yet on when the album will drop; The Game only promises that it’ll be here “soon.” In the meantime, the Compton rapper has been hanging
out with hip-hop royalty. On Sunday (March 27), Game posted a photo of him with Nas, captioned
“Hurricane x God Son.”

Check out The Game’s cover art above and let us
know what you think in the comments below. Also,

Tyrese Presents Emotional Love Story With ‘Black Book’ Short Film

Last year, Tyrese released his soulful opus Black Rose and in 2016, he’s following that up with his short film, The Black Book .

The veteran R&B singer wrote and directed the 25-minute movie, which was inspired by popular romantic flicks like The Notebook. In The Black Book, an elderly couple are celebrating their 45th
wedding anniversary. Due to his wife’s Alzheimer’s, the aged version of Ty recounts their journey into matrimony — from the break-ups to the make-ups
and, eventually, their wedding.

R&B singer and Empire star V. Bozeman plays the wife and joins Tyrese on three songs: “Can’t Break Me,” “Waiting on You and “Prior to You” featuring Tank.

“I feel like some of the best movies I’ve seen have some type of resolve to it,” Tyrese told Billboard.

“We’ve all experienced trauma and being in dark places, whether it’s relationships, family [or] losing family members.”

“We’ve all been in that dark place that most of us hope never to have to go back to, but I feel like there should always be something positive, something beautiful,” che continued. “It was just my
way of complimenting God. When challenges present themselves, I often say that you will grow through what you go through.”

Boxer Nick Blackwell in coma after title fight defeat

The British boxer Nick Blackwell is in an
induced coma after suffering a bleed on the brain following a domestic title fight defeat on Saturday night.
The referee stopped the largely one-sided fight against Chris Eubank Jr in the 10th round after Blackwell, who had taken heavy punishment in most rounds, was deemed unable to continue by a doctor, due to swelling over his left eye.
Boxing is a sweet science but Nick Blackwell was too brave for his own good
Shortly after the bout, for Blackwell’s British middleweight title, which was televised live on Channel 5, the 25-year-old, from Trowbridge, Wiltshire, collapsed and had to be taken out of the ring on a stretcher with oxygen.

The British Boxing Board of Control (BBBC) general secretary, Robert Smith, said: “I spoke to one of the doctors this morning and he said there is a bleeding of the brain.
“He’s in intensive care, he’s in an induced coma and he is resting and being looked after by the
experts.
“It’s a very normal procedure. They put you in a coma to get the swelling to go down. There’s no timescale. Now it’s just a matter of waiting and seeing.”
Press Association Sport quoted a source close to the Blackwell team as saying the boxer was stable and there was no swelling overnight.
Peter Fury, the trainer and uncle of the world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, tweeted that he had spoken to Blackwell’s promoter
Mick Hennessy and that the prospects of
recovery were encouraging.

The BBC said on Sunday that surgeons were not planning to operate on Blackwell.

After the fight, Eubank said: “I was hitting him with some big shots and the referee saw fit to let the fight go on. Looking back now, maybe he should have stopped it earlier.”
On Sunday, he paid tribute to his opponent’s courage and wished him a speedy recovery.
Eubank’s father, Chris Eubank Sr, who was in his son’s corner for the bout, said the incident brought back painful memories of his world title fight with Michael Watson in 1991, which left his opponent with severe brain injuries.
Watson nearly died as a result of injuries
sustained in the fight and the incident forced the BBBC to boost safety at bouts to ensure that boxers who suffer such injuries get speedy assistance, including oxygen.
Eubank Sr said he was banging on the canvas during the Blackwell fight urging the referee to stop it. At one point, he could be heard on television telling his son in the corner in between rounds: “If he [the referee] doesn’t stop it, and you keep beating him like this … he’s getting hurt.”
A number of British boxers, past and present, have tweeted their support for Blackwell, including Fury, who accompanied Blackwell into the ring on Saturday night.
