2019 Acura NSX Debuts in Monterey with Design Updates, Chassis Enhancements and Expanded Color Palette

August 24, 2018

MONTEREY, California, Aug. 23, 2018 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The 2019 Acura NSX will make its debut at Monterey Car Week featuring new design cues, exterior and interior color combinations, and chassis upgrades that enhance vehicle dynamics. The 2019 Acura NSX will first be displayed at The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering. The 2019 NSX is available for order today with U.S. deliveries slated to begin in October. For more information, visit Acura.com/NSX.

Design Updates, Expanded Color Palette
New for 2019, a striking Thermal Orange Pearl premium paint option continues the tradition of NSX color names inspired by motorsports venues and iconic corners, and pays homage to 30 years of Acura motorsports vehicles with orange accented liveries. Joining the Thermal Orange Pearl exterior, optional carbon ceramic metallic (CCM) brakes can now be fitted with orange calipers. New for 2019, the standard iron brakes can now be fitted with red calipers.

All 2019 NSX models are distinguished by a new body-color front grille garnish (previously silver) and high-gloss treatments for the front grille surround, front air intake mesh and rear bumper outlet mesh. High-gloss treatment is also applied to the available Carbon Fiber Decklid Spoiler and Carbon Fiber Exterior Package – including a front chin spoiler, side sill garnish and rear diffuser.

Inside the cockpit, the 2019 NSX color palette is expanded with the addition of an optional Indigo blue Semi-aniline leather and Alcantara^® theme. The available semi-aniline full leather (non-Alcantara) power sport seats can now be optioned in Red in addition to Ebony. Power sport seats (4-way), previously a $1,500 option, are now standard equipment. Lightweight manually adjustable sport seats, wrapped in Black Milano leather and Alcantara, remain an available no-cost option. Satellite-Linked Navigation, ELS Studio^® premium audio, front and rear proximity sensors and aluminum sport pedals, previously optional equipment, are now standard.

Dynamics Enhancements
For the 2019 model, engineers modified chassis components, tires and software tuning to make NSX even more responsive to the will of the driver, elevating performance driving in all circumstances, from daily driving to the circuit. At the limit, the NSX’s balance, playfulness and controllability has improved, allowing the driver to more precisely modulate understeer and oversteer with subtle throttle inputs. The changes resulted in a nearly 2-second faster lap time in testing around the world famous Suzuka Circuit.

Chassis enhancements include larger front and rear stabilizer bars (increasing stiffness by 26 percent in front, 19 percent at the rear) and 21 percent stiffer rear toe link bushings. Rear hub rigidity has increased 6 percent. Software calibrations to the NSX’s Sport Hybrid SH-AWD^®power unit, active magnetorheological dampers, electric power steering and VSA settings capitalize on this new hardware, as well as the grippier tire setup.

The 2019 NSX rides on new Continental SportContact™ 6 tires, developed exclusively for the NSX. The new tires (replacing Continental ContiSportContact™ 5P) feature a revised tread pattern, construction and rubber compound for improved handling performance in all conditions—from daily commuting to track use—including wet weather driving. The track-focused Pirelli P Zero™ Trofeo R remains an optional dealer-installed tire.

Electrifying Sport Hybrid SH-AWD^® Power Unit
The 2019 NSX is powered by a Sport Hybrid SH-AWD^® power unit consisting of a twin-turbocharged mid‑mounted V6 engine paired with a 9-speed dual clutch transmission (9DCT). An electric Direct Drive Motor integrated with the engine and 9DCT supplements the engine with instantaneous electric torque. Containing two additional electric motors, the front-mounted Twin Motor Unit (TMU) continuously varies torque—both positive and negative—to the left and right front wheels to enhance handling precision and cornering capabilities, elevating any driver’s confidence and performance. Maximum peak system output is 573 horsepower and 476 lb.-ft. of torque.

The NSX’s Integrated Dynamics System—with Quiet, Sport, Sport+ and Track modes—provides for a wider range of driving experiences than conventional supercars. The NSX features an advanced, multi-material body and aluminum-intensive space frame with the world’s first application of aluminum ablation casting in the space frame structure, enabling ultra-high rigidity, compact packaging and outstanding collision safety performance.

2019 Acura NSX Pricing and Feature Changes
Each NSX is crafted one-by-one at the Performance Manufacturing Center (PMC) in Marysville, Ohioⁱand continues the NSX tradition of offering an incredible performance value in the supercar market. The 2019 model starts at $157,500ⁱⁱ(an increase of $1,500 over the 2018 model) with $4,700 in previously optional content now standard (4-way power sport seats, Satellite-Linked Navigation, ELS Studio^® premium audio, proximity sensors and aluminum sport pedals).

Participate in the Making of Your Custom Supercar
All new NSX owners have the opportunity to join the NSX Insider Experience, a personalized program that allows NSX owners to participate in the making of their bespoke supercar. The program offers a curated, one-on-one tour of key Acura facilities across Ohio, including the Performance Manufacturing Center (PMC), where the NSX is built, and the NSX engine assembly room at the Anna Engine Plant. Guests also have the opportunity to track an NSX, guided by a professional driver, on one of the primary proving grounds where it was developed and tuned – the Transportation Research Center (TRC).

The NSX Insider Experience is offered in six distinct packages with one and two-day tour options, which can be customized to include a tour of the Anna Engine Plant in addition to the tour of the PMC. Additional options include a two or four-hour performance driving experience at the Acura Proving Grounds, as well as a tour of the Honda Heritage Center. Packages start at $2,700. More information on the NSX Insider Experience is available at NSXInsiderExperience.com.

NSX Motorsports Success
Based on the NSX road car and utilizing its twin-turbocharged V6 powerplant and multi-material space frame, the NSX GT3 race car has already taken multiple poles, checkered flags and podiums, including consecutive wins on the streets of Belle Isle in Detroit (2017 and 2018). Now in its sophomore season of the IMSA Weathertech SportsCar Championship, the NSX GT3 is currently in the running for the Manufacturer, Team (Meyer Shank Racing) and Driver Championship (Katherine Legge).

The race-winning, carbon fiber NSX GT3 is offered for sale globally at a starting price of €465,000ⁱⁱⁱ. Available for customer purchase since July 2017, the NSX GT3 is now in the hands of both professional and amateur racers globally, and certified to compete in more than a dozen FIA-sanctioned racing series around the world.

AXE® Teams Up with Rapper & Actor KYLE for Year Two of Senior Orientation Workshops

August 23, 2018

Workshops to address toxic masculinity in high schools during National Bullying Prevention Month

ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, New Jersey, Aug. 23, 2018 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — During National Bullying Prevention Month in October, AXE will address outdated male stereotypes and harmful labels with its high school Senior Orientation workshops. After a pilot program last year at Centennial High School in Columbus, Ohio, 81 percent of the student body said their view of masculinity evolved for the better. Co-created by rapper and actor KYLE and masculinity expert and poet Carlos Andrés Gómez, this year’s curriculum will challenge students to replace toxic behaviors like bullying and “locker-room talk” with positivity and inclusiveness.

The high school years should be a time when young people feel empowered to explore and express who they are and who they’re becoming. Yet – whether it’s in the halls, on the field, in the lab, or at a party – young guys too often feel pressure to live up to certain toxic notions of masculinity that lead to unnecessarily aggressive behavior. In fact, 1 in 3 guys admit to bullying their peers, with 3 in 4 being the victims of those bullies themselves.*

This October, Senior Orientation will head to two high schools, both of which will be announced at a later date.

“Being involved in a program like this is especially important to me because of my own personal experiences growing up. I didn’t feel like I always fit in because I opted for the drama club instead of the football team. Because of this, I was perceived as being more sensitive by other kids my age. Now, these are the things that have made me the person and performer that I am today,” said KYLE. “I wish I had resources like this program when I was younger to tell me that it’s okay to be myself.”

This year’s program will kick off with a return visit to Centennial on Aug. 23 where student and participant in the inaugural Senior Orientation, Aria Brent, shared, “Senior Orientation inspired my school. Everyone could feel its effect in the hallways, even just in the way people talked to one another. AXE is bringing an important message to young guys and girls. I’m grateful to have had a voice in it last year and continue spreading its message of positivity and inclusiveness in my community.”

Senior Orientation is part of the AXE Find Your Magic Initiative which aims to break the cycle of toxic masculinity by providing guys with resources to live more freely. The brand and its partners, Promundo and Ditch the Label, work together to dive into the causes and effects of the issue, drive wider awareness among both men and women, and help provide young guys with tools to be their most authentic selves.

Gender-equality non-profit research organization, Promundo, commissioned a new study, “The Bullying Crisis,” which exposes the limiting effects bullying, and particularly cyberbullying as a direct result of the current societal expectations associated with masculinity.
AXE launched #AXEpressYourself, a social initiative in partnership with anti-bullying non-profit organization, Ditch the Label, which challenged guys to experiment with new hairstyles for a good cause while inspiring them to find their magic by embracing and confidently expressing what makes them unique. For every new style shared and tagged with #AXEpressYourself from March through July 2018, AXE donated $1 to Ditch the Label.

AXE is dedicated to helping you #FindYourMagic. To get involved in the Find Your Magic Initiative and #SeniorOrientation conversation, follow @AXE on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook. If you or someone you know is impacted by bullying, Ditch the Label has trained mentors ready to answer your questions and offer confidential support at https://us.ditchthelabel.org/get-help/.

BaronHR And Management Unjustly Named

August 23, 2018

ANAHEIM HILLS, California, Aug. 23, 2018 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — “BaronHR and it’s Family of Staffing Agencies (“BaronHR”) has recently been made subject of a criminal filing brought by the Orange County District Attorney’s Office at the urging of American Insurance Group (“AIG”) and which falsely alleges illegal business practices against BaronHR in its insurance relationship with AIG.

BaronHR & Management Unjustly Named! (PRNewsfoto/BaronHR)

BaronHR and its management are unjustly named in this action. This case involves an insurance policy in effect in 2013 and into 2014. The company, and the listed individual defendants, had fully cooperated in a formal audit conducted by AIG representatives in 2016 in connection with this same policy. At that time, each and every issue made subject to this “complaint” was fully resolved.

AIG now claims “damages” for issues which were already made subject of this extensive audit and for which substantial additional amounts and supplemental premiums were already paid.

The same issues now made subject to this “criminal complaint” were not only resolved within the formal audit, they have been addressed within civil court proceedings. At no time has BaronHR failed to prevail when the exact same subject matter was brought in civil court. In fact, AIG has been bound to its coverage obligations at all relevant times by civil courts.

Apparently, in the ultimate showing of bad faith and desperation, AIG has utilized its influence with the “Insurance Fraud” division or the district attorney’s office to achieve through criminal proceedings what it could not achieve in its efforts in civil courts.

This attempt at “double dipping” is illegal. BaronHR has now been compelled to file a civil action against AIG for its bad faith insurance practices. The company is confident that it will recover not only the amounts which were already paid within the formal audit conducted with AIG but will also recover punitive damages with attorney fees and costs.

As additional clarification of issues which have been falsely alleged in connection with this matter; the following issues bear note:

1. There was no “bail” issued in connection with this case. As a point of fact, no defendants were “arrested” and no bail was required under an agreement with the DA.

2. No company assets have been seized and management has not been deprived of the use of any company proceeds.

3. BaronHR is continuing all of its business operations in its standard course and has full confidence in receiving full recompense for this unjustified effort at “double dipping” by AIG which is currently being employed through this “criminal process”.

The company issues this statement to any and all interested parties in the interests of clarity and full disclosure. Our business partners, including banks, professional employer organizations and insurance companies are supportive of our approach in dealing with these unsubstantiated allegations. We are confident that the matter will ultimately resolve in our favor.

There Is Anarchy In The Arctic In Discovery En Español’s “SOBREVIVIENTES DEL HIELO”

August 23, 2018

MIAMI, Aug. 23, 2018 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Not all outlaw towns disappeared along with the Wild West. In Canada’s Northwest Territories lays an isolated frozen lake where people reside free from taxation and the rule of law. The inhabitants of Great Slave Lake live entirely according to their own standards; however, their frozen utopia isn’t always what it’s cracked up to be – especially when the ice begins to crack beneath their homes. SOBREVIVIENTES DEL HIELO premieres Thursday, August 30 at 10pm E/P.

The new Discovery en Español series reveals a world free of regulations where fearless men and women battle hunger, perilous terrain and the constant threat of freezing to death just for the chance to live life off the grid.

The first of 10 one-hour episodes kicks off a few days before the lake’s winter freeze. During this pivotal period, one wrong move could mean losing your home – or your life. But those who make it through the freeze still face extreme adversity: they need to find food and maintain their houses and heat sources to survive the ever-changing conditions on the five-foot-thick frozen ice sheet. The danger escalates when the seasons change, and spring brings the thaw. The surface of the Great Slave ice cracks apart, and everything on top of it shifts, leaving the rebels in fear for their homes and their safety.

SOBREVIVIENTES DEL HIELO questions the tradeoff: is a lawless, liberated life worth the never-ending cycle of hard work, danger and uncertainty, or do the risks outweigh the rewards?

The premiere of SOBREVIVIENTES DEL HIELO will be available in the “Discovery en Español GO” app on August 30. The second episode of the series will also be available exclusively to users on the app before the airing date.

2019 Honda Pilot Named Top Safety Pick+ by IIHS

August 23, 2018

TORRANCE, California, Aug. 23, 2018 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The redesigned and refreshed 2019 Honda Pilot has earned the 2018 Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s (IIHS) highest overall safety rating of TOP SAFETY PICK+ thanks to top ratings of “GOOD” in five of six crashworthiness tests, a standard “GOOD” rating for the Pilot’s headlights and a “SUPERIOR” rating for the Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™) feature of the standard Honda Sensing^® suite of advanced driver-assistive and active safety technologies.

“The updated Pilot may have more aggressive styling to better match its true capability, but we also got aggressive on safety performance and driver-assistive features.” said Ray Mikiciuk, assistant vice president of Honda Automobile Sales. “IIHS rated Pilot’s front crash prevention system ‘SUPERIOR’, and that’s just one of many features included in Honda Sensing, now standard on all Pilot trims.”

To qualify for the 2018 TOP SAFETY PICK+ award, a vehicle must earn “GOOD” ratings in the driver-side small overlap front, moderate overlap front, side, roof strength and head restraint tests and an “ACCEPTABLE” or “GOOD” rating in the passenger-side small overlap test. It also needs an available front crash prevention system that earns an “ADVANCED” or “SUPERIOR” rating and available “GOOD”-rated headlights.

On sale since July 16, the 2019 Pilot brings a long list of upgrades to Honda’s award-winning 8-seat SUV. The numerous changes include more aggressive exterior styling, an available new hands-free power access tailgate, powertrain refinements, major upgrades to available connected-car technology, an available new Display Audio touchscreen system with Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™ integration, and a volume knob. The 2019 Pilot also adopts the Honda Sensing^® suite of advanced safety and driver-assistive technology as standard on all trims.

Honda Sensing^® helps provide greater awareness of driving conditions around the vehicle, in some cases helping drivers maintain lane position and, under certain conditions, is capable of slowing or even stopping the vehicle if it detects a potential front collision. Comprising the Honda Sensing^® suite are Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™) with Forward Collision Warning; Road Departure Mitigation (RDM) incorporating Lane Departure Warning (LDW); Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS); and Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC).

Honda’s blind spot information system (BSI), previously available only on the Elite trim, is now standard on EX, EX-L and Touring trims as well. Additionally, Rear Cross Traffic Monitor has been expanded from the Touring and Elite trims to EX and EX-L.

In addition to the above, Pilot offers numerous other safety and driver-assistive features, such as automatic high beams and a Multi-Angle Rearview Camera, both standard on all trims. The new Pilot was designed to provide a high level of active and passive safety protection and also received a 5-Star Overall Vehicle Score from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)¹.

Western States Opioid Summit “Not One More Death” To Raise Awareness And Address Opioid Addiction And Overdoses, Sept. 19-21, 2018

August 22, 2018

First-ever Meeting of the Western States Confronting this Public Health Epidemic

ANAHEIM, California, Aug. 22, 2018 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Social Model Recovery Systems (SMRS) and the California Consortium of Addiction Programs and Professionals (CCAPP) have partnered to present the inaugural Western States Opioid Summit (WSOS) on September 19-21, 2018, at the Anaheim Convention Center. The Summit will provide a platform for collaboration and change. The mission is to open dialogue, strengthen relationships, find solutions and execute change. The purpose of WSOS is to create a center-point of synergy between an eclectic array of disciplines and families, initiating relationships and dialogue, and creating a wave of change.

“The opioid crisis, in California and nationally, has progressed to the point that we are co-hosting and presenting this summit out of necessity,” said CCAPP CEO Pete Nielsen. “The cost of doing nothing is too high for us to ignore.”

WSOS will unite leading addiction-medicine professionals and physicians; parent and public advocates; stakeholders who understand the dangers and losses associated with Opioid Use Disorder (OUD); distressed families who are, or and have been, afflicted by OUD; County and public health experts; law enforcement personnel; concerned legislators and policy makers; public and private resources; and family service organizations in order to promote learning, dialogue, and collaboration.

Through the generous donations of our supporters, family scholarships have been made available for individuals and families who have been stricken by OUD. They must register at http://opioidsummit.us/ to attend the Summit at no cost.

“Every single person is affected by opioid addiction. Whether it’s the devastation of the individual, the trauma to their family, or the cost to communities and taxpayers, we all share the burden and can contribute to the solution,” said Bruce Boardman, CEO, Social Model Recovery Systems. “It will take us working together to remedy this epidemic.”

According to Dr. Donald J. Kurth, Social Model Recovery Systems’ Medical Director and a past president of the American Society of Addiction Medicine, “Far too many Americans have needlessly lost their lives to the opioid scourge. Please join us to find some real solutions. Not one more death!”

For more information about WSOS that will be held at the Anaheim Convention Center on September 19-21, 2018 or to register for the event, visit http://opioidsummit.us/
