The Sopranos star, who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2016, reflected on her friendship with Van Der Beek — who died of colorectal cancer at age 48 in February — in a new interview, saying she and the Dawson’s Creek actor “bonded a lot on what our illnesses can teach us.” “I’m devastated that my friend is no longer here, you know?” Sigler, 44, told Us Weekly. “I think we all knew that there was so much more he could have done, but also, in his passing, to see how loved and celebrated he is and will always be. I don’t think he even knew that.” She said about Van Der Beek: “I’ve never met somebody that is better at …

The trained athlete, who was diagnosed with cancer in 2013, died on Sunday (19 April). Her death was announced by the show’s official social media page, reading: “We’re deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Gladiators‘ golden girl, Gold.” Van der Walt was chosen from thousands of applicants to become one of the show’s new Gladiators in 1997, and a tribute said she “quickly made her mark” despite having her appearances cut short due to a nagging injury. “She showed incredible resilience and when she did compete, she proved that all that glistens truly was Gold,” the statement read. South Africa-born Van der Walt, who grew up in Switzerland, received a gold medal for the 400m in 1987, when she …

Watch this Harbinger electric van chase down package thief [video]

Watch this Harbinger electric van chase down package thief [video]

Published by skeptic

With some 440 hp and nearly 1,200 lb-ft of instant electric torque on-hand, the Harbinger electric delivery van is more than capable of keeping up with modern day traffic. To show off just how capable it is, Harbinger’s marketing team has put together this fun, fictional, high octane voltage chase scene. Electric vehicles have been redefining the high-performance driving scene since the first Tesla Model S drag raced a Corvette on YouTube. Now, as that model drives off to the big garage in the sky, a whole new wave of next-generation of EVs is coming to stake their claim to the outgoing Model S’ high-powered heritage – and that wave seems to include Harbinger’s all-electric commercial delivery vans. That seems to be the message in this recent, Harbinger-produced video, anyway, which highlights the trucks’ rapid acceleration, powerful electric motors, and tight turning radius in a fun, frantic commercial (yes, it’s a commercial).

Wout van Aert wins Paris-Roubaix, stopping Tadej Pogacar from making history

Wout van Aert wins Paris-Roubaix, stopping Tadej Pogacar from making history

Published by Sam Flores

There are no mountains, let alone hills, on the route for Pogačar to exploit. However, finishing second on debut in 2025 showed he can be a contender. Mads Pedersen, Filippo Ganna and Wout van Aert are credible outsiders, but barring accident (highly possible in this risky crash-fest) or bad form, it is likely to be a duel between the two superstars. For the first time, the women’s edition will be held on the same day, finishing a couple of hours after the men. Defending champion Pauline Ferrand-Prévot and her Visma-Lease a Bike team-mate Marianne Vos are prime contenders, as is 2024 winner Lotte Kopecky. Briton Zoe Backstedt could challenge for the win too. It should be a dry edition with a slight tailwind. The men’s race starts in Paris Compiègne at 10.05 BST and is set to finish around 3.45pm.

Workhorse steps up with a more affordable electric step van

Workhorse steps up with a more affordable electric step van

Published by skeptic

Workhorse is once again pushing back on affordability concerns and high fuel prices with the introduction of a new, more affordable configuration of the company’s W56 Step Van electric delivery vehicle. A number of independent service and third-party logistics providers (ISPs and 3PLs) have consistently reported that 100 miles of daily range substantially exceeds their needs for many of their routes – and the 210 kWh battery pack fitted to the Workhorse W56 delivery van is serious overkill. That’s where the new, 140 kWh Workhorse comes in. Priced at “just” $169,000, the new 140 kWh W56 Step Van ships in the company’s “Standard” 178″ wheelbase configuration with Workhorse’s purpose-built composite body, and offers an estimated nominal range of 100 miles per charge at its full, 10,000 lb. payload capacity. “The new 140 kWh version of our W56 step van is a result of listening to customer feedback and purpose-building a product to meet their needs,” said Scott Griffith, CEO of Workhorse. “We’ve been able to balance the functional needs of fleets – range, durability, reliability and …

Dutch coach Koeman praises performance but Van Dijk wants more

Dutch coach Koeman praises performance but Van Dijk wants more

Published by Sam Flores

AMSTERDAM, March 28 : Netherlands coach Ronald Koeman praised his team’s performance after their 2-1 win over Norway in a World Cup warm-up on Friday in Amsterdam, but captain Virgil van Dijk felt there was still work to do ahead of the global soccer showpiece. The Dutch next meet Ecuador in Eindhoven on Tuesday and will play Algeria in June as they continue their preparations for the World Cup, which is scheduled from June 11 to July 19 in North America. “This was simply a very good match from us against a very strong country,” Koeman said in a press conference. “It is somewhat typically Dutch to think that when you play Norway, you have to beat them. That is not the case. In the qualifiers, they beat Italy twice. “Norway also had good phases against us, but looking at the entire match, I think we deserved to win.” The Netherlands, who were playing without several regulars, fell behind to an early strike from Andreas Schjelderup but fought back through goals from Van Dijk and …

Elon teases a van, Tesla sales tumble, and no Robotaxi in Cali

Elon teases a van, Tesla sales tumble, and no Robotaxi in Cali

Published by skeptic

On today’s van-tastic episode of Quick Charge, Elon Musk teases a people-hauling Tesla that’s 10 years late, California says there are ZERO Robotaxis on the road, and the Chinese EVs continue to outsell the brand in Europe. It’s been nearly a decade since Tesla CEO Elon Musk hinted a new people moving EV might be on its way, and while the company rolled out a twenty passenger Robovan concept in 2024, Musk insists the company’s got something coming that’s “cooler” than a minivan. By definition, then, it’s not the Robovan. Or a Cybertruck.
