Tata motors and Mahindra apply brakes on EV fundraise plans
In a shocking transfer, two of India’s main automotive giants, Tata Motors and Mahindra & Mahindra, have determined to place their electrical automobile (EV) fundraising plans on maintain. Each firms have been beforehand dedicated to investing closely within the improvement and manufacturing of electrical automobiles, however current market volatility and financial uncertainty have compelled them to rethink their methods. This text examines the explanations behind their resolution and the potential implications for India’s EV business.
Market Volatility and Uncertainty: Tata Motors’ Perspective
Tata Motors, the dad or mum firm of Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), had set bold targets for electrification, aiming to make JLR a pacesetter within the international EV market. Nevertheless, the automotive business has confronted quite a few challenges in current instances, together with semiconductor shortages, rising uncooked materials prices, and fluctuating demand as a result of ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. These elements have considerably impacted Tata Motors’ monetary place and raised considerations concerning the feasibility of their EV fundraising plans.
The corporate’s resolution to pause its EV fundraising efforts is pushed by a have to reassess its monetary priorities and make sure the sustainability of its general operations. Tata Motors goals to deal with the rapid challenges it faces available in the market and stabilize its monetary place earlier than committing important sources to EV improvement and manufacturing.
Mahindra & Mahindra’s Delayed Electrical Car Funding
Mahindra & Mahindra, one in all India’s main vehicle producers, has additionally opted to postpone its EV fundraising plans. The corporate had been actively engaged on electrical automobile applied sciences and had deliberate substantial investments to broaden its EV portfolio. Nevertheless, the current financial considerations, coupled with uncertainties surrounding the EV market’s development potential, have prompted Mahindra & Mahindra to take a cautious strategy.
The worldwide financial slowdown, inflationary pressures, and commerce tensions have created an environment of uncertainty, making traders and corporations alike cautious of committing important funds to new tasks. Mahindra & Mahindra’s resolution to delay its EV funding goals to make sure monetary prudence and align its technique with the prevailing market circumstances.
Implications for India’s EV Trade
The choice by Tata Motors and Mahindra & Mahindra to place their EV fundraising plans on maintain might have wider implications for India’s electrical automobile business. These two firms have been on the forefront of EV improvement and have performed essential roles in shaping the nation’s transition to electrical mobility.
The pause in fundraising may decelerate the tempo of innovation and impede the expansion of the EV ecosystem in India. It could additionally affect the federal government’s bold plans to extend EV adoption and scale back carbon emissions. Tata Motors and Mahindra & Mahindra’s contributions and investments within the EV sector have been instrumental in driving technological developments and constructing charging infrastructure, which may now face short-term setbacks.
Nevertheless, you will need to word that this resolution doesn’t sign a whole withdrawal from the EV house. Each Tata Motors and Mahindra & Mahindra stay dedicated to electrical mobility in the long term, however they search to navigate the present financial uncertainties prudently. They may seemingly monitor market circumstances intently and resume their EV fundraising plans as soon as the circumstances are extra favorable.
Tata Motors and Mahindra & Mahindra’s resolution to use brakes on their electrical automobile fundraising plans displays the difficult financial setting and market volatility that has gripped the automotive business. Whereas this pause might quickly decelerate the tempo of EV improvement and funding in India, each firms stay dedicated to electrical mobility in the long run. Because the market stabilizes and uncertainties recede, it’s anticipated that Tata Motors and Mahindra & Mahindra will reinvigorate their EV initiatives, contributing to the expansion and transformation of India’s electrical automobile business.


A Guide to Choosing a Chat Room
, Unlike the old ages where people have to result in traditional means to communicate with their fellow men and women, the current social media platforms have made it easier to facilitate communication. One thing that social media platforms have done is to break the ice when it comes to international borders as of now it is possible to get to talk and get information about something that could be happening in any part of the globe. For such to happen, we require a chat room, this is especially so when the agenda is to send and receive texts as well as other forms of media. The chat room you are on determines the content that you will be receiving and it is crucial to take to consider choosing that which would help you get the information that you would be looking for.
When it comes to choosing a chat room, there are certain things that you should look to take to consider including the application onto which you would be using. It would be advisable to take to consider as to whether the application in question is that which comes with the mobile device or you would be required to get this application from an application store. As chat rooms are made to provide a platform on which people can interact on the web, it is important too, therefore, take to consider as to which application those that you would be looking to talk to use.
It would also be advised of you to seek to consider which rules you are to adhere to when looking to use a chat room to help avoid been kicked out or blocked. As to where a group of people is, there should be law and order which makes it crucial to take to consider as to whom you would task with the job of running the chat room in question. When it would be a decision for you to look to take to account as to which chat room you would prefer using, it is important to also take to consider as to which difficulties come with using the chat room in question.
The other thing that I would advise you to look to take to account when looking to choose a chat room is a to whether there would be the ability for you to send out information in the form of photos and videos and whether you would be able to get similar media. Another thing that would be expected of you to look to take to consider when it comes to choosing a chat room is as to what the chat room has to say on the number of users that the chat room in question can hold. Whether you would have the required broadband data to use the chat room is also something to consider.

Students from Lugo Italy (with the The Slaney Language Centre) were celebrating ten years of coming to Ireland with an Irish Dancing lesson at the Presentation School on Wednesday afternoon with dance teacher Eimear Hughes and assisted by Jim Shannon.
A group of 30 students and three teachers from Lugo,Wexford Italian twin town, visited Wexford on a study holiday organised by “Associazione gemellaggi e relazioni internazionali A.Guerrini Aps” in late July.
The Slaney Language Center organised lessons in the morning and cultural and sport activities in the afternoon. The group was hosted by Wexford families and were welcomed by the local authority who organised a guide tour of the town for the group.It was the students fourth experience in Wexford, but this year it was particularly important for all of them as it is the 10th year of the twinning relationship between Lugo and Wexford.

The newly minted Grandmaster watches her opponent play their move, and she feels a buzz in her mind. Her intuition says her opponent’s move was a blunder, and there’s an opportunity in the position now. She needs to think, to calculate, so she looks away from the board. She hears in her mind the last few moves, and she senses the position as if on a ghostly board in another dimension- one she can’t see or touch, but she can feel with absolute clarity. She senses the power bursting from each invisible piece, like forces of nature colliding. A smile flashes on her face- she’s found the move.
The old master, a legend 30 years ago and some say far past his prime, steps away from the board. He needs time to consider his options in a complex position against a much younger opponent. He always thinks better when pacing, so he goes to the side of the playing hall and paces there. Before him as he walks is a floating board. It’s invisible to everyone else, but clear as day to him. It’s the board his father taught him to play on, and it’s served him well his entire career. He walks, he studies the board, and finds what he’s looking for, a move that ratchets the tension, deepens the complexities. It turns the position into a minefield for his opponent. He may be old, but he isn’t going down without a fight.
Our brains have ways they like to do things. Methods and mental representations they’ve been perfecting since the day we were born to try to make sense of the world.
Imagine for a moment that a friend has asked you how to get from your home to the nearest shopping center. It’s a trip you’ve made probably hundreds of times, you know the way very well, and are easily able to respond. Between the request and your response, your brain did something. Exactly what it did will be slightly different for each of us.
Some of us rapidly ran through the trip in our mind, like a video of the trip on fast-forward. Some recalled street names and how many blocks there are between each turn. Some saw blurry photos of key landmarks along the way. Some see a top-down view of the route, like we’d see on a map. Some feel a faint pull of something like gravity in the direction of the shopping center. Some had a combination of a few methods.
For each of us, the input (question from our friend) and the output (communication of the route) are the same. But the bit in the middle, the part where our brain processed the route, varies wildly person to person.
In Chess, the same thing happens. The input is the same: we see the board in front of us. The output is the same: we play a move. But the bit in the middle – the bit where we recognize, process, and calculate – that bit is different for every one of us.
The form it takes is our conceptualization model.
Mental Representations in Chess
Every time we play Chess, we create a mental representation of the position. Move-to-move we aren’t consciously aware of it, much in the way you probably weren’t aware of how your brain processed the route to the shops until I pointed your attention at it. But we become very aware of our mental representations in Chess as soon as we start trying to calculate or “see moves ahead”.
Our conceptualization model is the method our brain uses to represent board information to us. Some of us will naturally want to use mental pictures, others will use logical connections and verbal reminders, most of us will have some combination.
The key is that our conceptualization model is aligned with the way we think. It makes a big difference. Let me show you what I mean:
Take a moment and think about how you get to your nearest shopping center again. Take notice of what your brain does and how easily it does it.
Now try a different method. If you saw pictures of landmarks in your head before, this time try to identify all the street names and count how many blocks before each turn. If you saw a sped up video of your driving route there, try to picture a top down map instead. Force yourself to do something different this time.
You probably still managed it, but I’ll bet it was a little bit awkward, jarring, and uncomfortable. Your brain had to work harder, and the result you got in the end was worse. Chess information is far more complex than remembering the route to the shops, and the issues are multiplied with that complexity.
When we try to do something that’s not natural to our brain, we have to work much harder and end up with a worse result. When we align our conceptualization model with our brain’s preferred thinking style, the bit between seeing the position and deciding on a move takes much less effort and yields a stronger result.
But so many Chess players never find their natural conceptualization model, as they’re too busy trying to “visualize”.
Sadly, there’s a long-believed myth in the Chess world that we have to visualize things if we want to be any good. For naturally visual people, this isn’t really a problem. But for naturally non-visual people, approximately 40% of us, this myth does a lot of damage. What we call “visualization”, seeing a board in our mind’s eye when calculating or playing blindfold Chess, is simply one type of conceptualization model. One of many ways to conceptualize. But it’s presented by the wider Chess community as the only way to do it.
You know that second, awkward method you forced your brain to use to recall the route to the shops? Imagine for a moment that everyone in the navigation community asserted that method was the best and only way to navigate? People have written books about it. There’s video after video on YouTube about it. Your navigation coach tells you to do it that way. Even the word used to describe the mental process of thinking about navigation is the name of that method. What do you do? You probably keep forcing yourself to navigate using that method. It’s always difficult, it’s always unclear, you never really improve. Eventually you decide your brain must just be wrong for navigation, and you give up.
Obviously, I’m overstating it here, but it’s not too far away from the experience of non-visual people in Chess, especially those with aphantasia.
There is no evidence that any conceptualization model is inherently better for Chess than any other. They each have strengths and weaknesses, and they can all be trained and improved. We’ve had top-tier players with models of all kinds.
If your model works for your brain, then it works. Ignore what anyone else says.
Visual and Verbal Thinking
Since the 1930s, psychology studies have played with the idea that people are naturally either visual or verbal thinkers. They are either guided primarily by images their mind creates, or their inner monologue. These visual and verbal thinking styles aren’t just preferences either; they’re observable, measurable, biological differences in our brains. A 2015 study by Kazuo Nishimura had subjects complete complex mental tasks while hooked up to various devices to measure neurological activity. They found some subjects activated the sections of the brain known to produce internal visual imagery while others activated the parts of the brain connected to self-talk.
When presented with the same complex mental tasks, some of us naturally want to use visuals, and others want to use verbal methods. Same tasks, different approaches.
In a 2002 study, Dr Linda Silverman at Rutgers University showed that these visual and verbal alignments are not an either/or argument, but instead occur across a spectrum.
Each of us exist on this spectrum somewhere. Some of us are strongly visual, some strongly verbal, and most of us are in the middle somewhere, learning one way or the other.
Linda Silverman also designed a questionnaire to help people find their rough location on the spectrum. I was a guest on Hannah Sayce’s stream in September 2023, and I walked her through the questionnaire live. She released a video of the event, and you can do the questionnaire alongside us.
When I first did this questionnaire, I learned a lot about my Chess, but I learned a whole lot about my life in general. Maybe you will too.
Finding Your Conceptualization Model
Identifying and learning to trust our natural conceptualization model can be difficult, especially if we’ve been playing Chess for many years. It can take deep reflection, analysis, and guidance to reach it. In October 2023, I released a 5-part email series through the Master Skill Newsletter to guide subscribers through a process akin to that I use with my coaching students.
The feedback was fantastic, so I’m making it available again for blog readers.

Conceptualization Models of Great Players
The Visual-Verbal thinking spectrum and the idea of differing conceptualization models are largely new and unexplored territories in the Chess world. As such, it’s difficult to identify the models of past players with certainty- especially players on the verbal side of the spectrum.
For the list below, I’ve made educated guesses based on written evidence and descriptions given by the player or those close to them. I’ve had the great fortune to discuss this with several current players, and have categorized them accordingly.
These should be used only to help you find players that may have similar models to yours, and not as assertions of how visual or verbal any player was or is in their general thinking outside of Chess.
Special thank you to Eliot Hearst and John Knott for writing the excellent book, Blindfold Chess, in which I found much of the evidence I used to categorize the historical players in this list.
Strongly Visual (33% of players)
GM Andrew Soltis once asserted that “nobody sees 64 squares and 32 pieces at the one time”. Val Zemitis, who had been close friends with Fritz Sämisch during his life, responded to Soltis stating that Fritz did in fact see the whole board at one time.
Zemitis was adamant about this, and even provided Sämisch’s recommendations for how to build and train complete board vision.
Sarapu once described the ability to play blindfold Chess as a “gift of the gods” that allows one to visualize the whole board “the same way one is capable of imagining the portrait of the Mona Lisa with your eyes shut.”
His use of an art metaphor implies that his conceptualization model may have been both visual and quite clear to him. Players more toward the verbal side tend to be less definite with the visual elements of their descriptions.
“My parents would send me to bed early on school night but I was not ready to sleep. Instead I analyzed positions on the dark ceiling of my bedroom. I was surprised at how easy it was to visualize the board and the pieces (they looked just like the set I always played on). I thought every serious Chess player could do this. I was wrong.”
– Hans Jung in a letter to Hearst and Knott for their book, Blindfold Chess
Established in a meeting with Lefong. He sees a fully detailed, full sized board in his mind as if it was in front of him.
When he was younger and playing more OTB, it was in 3D. Now he plays more online, it’s 2D. He can comfortably switch between them whenever he likes.
Intersestingly, Lefong doesn’t consider himself a particularly visual person in other areas of his life. For most players, their conceptualization model aligns exactly with their normal thinking styles, but Lefong may be an exception.
P.A. Graham described Joseph Henry Blackburne as “a man who to a great extent thinks in pictures”.
There are stories of Blackburne’s feats of photographic memory, including one where he recalled the contents of a misplaced debt records books without making a single mistake.
He seemed to take information in visually, with incredible clarity. It’s safe to assume he probably did the same in his Chess conceptualization.
Established in a meeting with Hannah.
Mid-Spectrum Visual (30% of players)
Najdorf described his mental representations during blindfold games as being “something inexplicable, yet concrete and objective… a total abstraction within each unity.”
In 1947, Karel Skalicka reported that Najdorf once said the board in his mind had “some kind of unconscious existence” and that he did not, in any way, see “photos” in his head of the positions on the board.
It is possible that Najdorf was a spatial visualizer, seeing the patterns and structures of the board in an abstract way, and not as a photorealistic image. It’s also possible he should be placed on the verbal side of the spectrum somewhere.
Richard Reti regularly encouraged other players to train their blindfold Chess, crediting it as a huge part of his own rapid rise in skill.
He recommended a player go through a series of steps to develop their blindfold visualization skills, and these steps include both visual and verbal techniques. If Reti were strongly visual, I suspect he would not include so many logic-based steps in his process. Therefore, I have categorized him a mid-spectrum visualizer.
Established in a meeting with John.
Eric describes his conceptualization model as being like shining a flashlight in a dark room. “I remember what’s over here, then over here, and how it’s all connected.”
He visually represents chunks of the board at a time, and uses logical methods to connect these chunks. This is a common mid-spectrum visual model.
Hear Eric talking about it in this video on his YouTube channel.
Mid-Spectrum Verbal (12% of players)
Alexander Alekhine is one of the greatest Chess players of all time. He wrote extensively about his play, and included descriptions of what went on his head while he conceptualized.
He wrote that he did not rely on visuals, but instead on what he called his “logical memory”. He always kept a clear verbal record of the key threats and squares in the position, and would let other less important details slip. When he needed to recall those other details, he would use logic to work them out again. GM Krogius offers the example that, to remember where the b-pawn was, Alekhine would remember that he’d needed to stop Nc4 earlier; therefore the pawn is on b3.
Alekhine would use visuals here and there, often “flashing” a picture of sections of the position in his mind when he needed to double-check something.
This combination of logical/verbal techniques and flashes of visuals qualifies him as the rare mid-spectrum visual player.
Strongly Verbal (25% of players)
In a statement for the San Francisco Chronicle in 1960, Koltanowski wrote:
“My mind is a gramophone record. When I want to know what move have been made, I start the record in my mind. Then I listen.”
He clarified further in his 1990 book:
“I do not see the board or pieces in my mind; I just remember the moves and ‘feel’ the position.”
IM David Pruess is the most prominent and popular Chess player known to have aphantasia, an inability to create mental pictures. By default, his conceptualization model needs to be non-visual.
Despite his aphantasia, Pruess has no difficulty recalling games, calculating in his head, and playing blindfold Chess, and talks about each of these things regularly in his content.
During the historic study by Alfred Binet in the 1890s, Samuel Rosenthal indicated that his model was non-visual:
“I do not proceed on a visual basis, but on a mathematically reasoned strategy. These men who play visually lack certainty in their games and they lose most of them.”
When pushed by Binet and his team, Rosenthal admitted to some visual element, but incredibly vague- like “seeing shops on a familiar street while preoccupied”.
This might be sufficient evidence to place Rosenthal in the Mid-Spectrum Verbal section, but his quote would imply he did not consider himself a visual player, so I’ve kept him here.
If you have any takeaway, let it be this: There is no right way to conceptualize. We’ve had world class players from across the spectrum.
Find what works for you. You’ll be fine.

Records: MSU is 13-4, 4-2 Big Ten. Rutgers is 12-6, 3-3 Big Ten.
Series: Tied at 2. MSU posted a 60-50 win in February in the lone meeting between the programs last season.
Pos. Name PPG
C (4) Jasmine Hines (6-3) 10.5
F (23) Aerial Powers (6-0) 18.8
G (1) Tori Jankoska (5-8) 16.8
G (10) Branndais Agee (5-11) 11.5

F (2) Kahleah Copper (6-1) 16.9
G (3) Tyler Scaife (5-9) 17.5
G (4) Briyona Canty (5-9) 5.3
MSU update: Merchant's squad put things together in the second half Saturday to rally past Iowa and bounce back from Wednesday's road loss at Indiana. Now the No. 21-ranked Spartans will try to remain perfect at home in Big Ten play as they continue a stretch of games against teams in the upper half of the Big Ten. Following Tuesday's contest, MSU has contests at Maryland and Big Ten leader Purdue. Powers' credited defense to MSU's second-half surge Saturday and the Spartans have been one of the better teams on the defensive end in the Big Ten. MSU has allowed an average of 60.9 points to rank fourth in the conference.
Rutgers update: The Scarlet Knights were without C. Vivian Stringer on the sidelines Saturday because she was tending to her ill mother. Assistant Timothy Eatman filled in for Stringer in what was a 65-54 road loss at Nebraska. The Scarlet Knights have alternated wins and losses during their opening six Big Ten contests with the wins coming in home contests against Minnesota, Wisconsin and Illinois. Rutgers is 1-5 on the road this season and 0-3 in Big Ten away contests.Rutgers has been the Big Ten's best defensive team and is limiting opponents to an average of 55.5 points.
Backcourts: Scaife's production has increased in Big Ten play and she is averaging 20.3 points and shooting 51.5 percent from the field to pace Rutgers. She and Canty rank among the Big Ten's leaders in steals and have contributed to the strong defensive efforts for the Scarlet Knights, who have held all but one Big Ten opponent below 70 points. Jankoska and Agee have each been big offensive components for MSU, which has been held below 70 points in a conference game once. Edge: MSU
Frontcourts: Rutgers has size among its front line, with Hollivay and Butts forming one of the biggest starting combos in the Big Ten. Hollivay averages nearly three blocks per game and her ability to alter shots has aided Rutgers' defensive success. That duo will be charged with the task of slowing Hines, who has been a force in the paint for the Spartans and has stepped up during Big Ten play. MSU's Powers and Rutgers' Copper are each among the top offensive players in the Big Ten and also lead their teams in rebounding. Edge: MSU
Benches: The starters have made a bulk of the contributions scoring for the Scarlet Knights and Spartans this season. Green came off the bench for the first time this season in Saturday's win over Iowa and had six points to lead MSU's reserves. Khadaiza Sanders and Shrita Parker have each started multiple games for Rutgers this season, but have primarily been key components off the bench. Edge: Even.
Prediction: In a matchup of two of the Big Ten's better defensive teams, MSU's ability on offense makes the difference.
Make it: MSU 70, Rutgers 61

CARACAS, Feb 9 (Reuters) - Venezuela’s interim government, led by Juan Guaido, spent some $198 million during the three years when they formed an opposition to President Nicolas Maduro’s administration, according to a government presentation published on Thursday.
Guaido took over Venezuela’s opposition in 2019 when he invoked the constitution to assume an interim presidency, garnering backing from the United States and other governments who reject Maduro’s 2018 re-election as fraudulent.
Venezuela’s opposition politicians voted to dissolve the interim government on Jan. 5 and appointed three lawmakers - currently in exile in Spain and the United States - to lead it, and also created a commission to protect the country’s assets abroad.
Guaido’s government had appointed opposition administrative boards at state-oil company PDVSA, its U.S. subsidiary Citgo and the central bank. These boards present their management balance sheets each year.
That opposition board of the central bank has managed an account at the New York Federal Reserve, which held an initial $341 million.
Manuel Rodriguez, president of the opposition central bank’s administrative board, told deputies that $198.2 million from the U.S. account was transferred to the interim government, which allocated the money to a fund.
That fund financed humanitarian assistance in the country, “defense of democracy” programs and the interim government, said the report by the ad hoc administrative board of the South American country’s central bank.
Withdrawing the money required numerous permits, Rodriguez said, including from the U.S. office of foreign assets control (OFAC) and a spending administration council.
In July 2022, the United Kingdom’s Supreme Court rejected a suit by Maduro’s government to take control of Venezuelan gold reserves held at the Bank of England.
The reserves include 32 tonnes of gold, worth $1.87 billion.
Following the ruling, Maduro-appointed officials said they had launched an appeal. (Reporting by Mayela Armas Writing by Oliver Griffin Editing by Josie Kao)

(Sweetgrass Music, CD)
On her third recording, Raven, Orange County musician and songwriter Kristina Stykos blends the wild and the gentle, with both rockin’ tunes and the smooth keyboard work and synth imaginings of Philip Aaberg. He’s a veteran of Windham Hill Records, the flagship label of new-age music, whose roster also included such artists as George Winston, Liz Story and label founder/guitarist Will Ackerman.
Over the course of 14 original cuts, Stykos covers a wide variety of musical terrain. She rocks out on a big, cutaway acoustic guitar on “Thing for You.” On dangerous love songs such as “Turn Off the Noise” and “Soul of My Soul,” she croons with a heartfelt, emotional quaver. On “Abenaki Hills” — a current personal favorite — she chants lyrics that one could imagine rising like mist from a mountain lake at dawn.
Throughout the record, Stykos uses her considerable skill as a poet like that of a painter: She draws the listener in and captivates with a canvas of vivid imagery. Her glorious, trance-like guitar riffs and Aaberg’s spacey synthesizer work underscore her words, like sunlight refracted through old glass of deep but vibrant colors.
Raven showcases Stykos’ consider-able talents as a musician and singer, but also as an engineer. Renown is growing for the sounds she crafts in her homegrown studio at the end of a long dirt road in Chelsea. Listening to this disc, it’s easy to understand why.
Recording acoustic music is simultaneously simple and incredibly complicated. Stykos’ technical expertise here has resulted in an amazing listening experience. The record swirls with a depth and warmth that makes it stand out from the myriad acoustic releases in Vermont each year. It makes me want to duct-tape my old Dynaco A-25 speakers to my head so I can hear every snap and ring. In more ways than one, Raven is a treat for the ears.
Kristina Stykos performs Wednes-day, February 16, at Kismet in Montpelier with Bow Thayer and Holy Plow.

The Palais Royal
Today, the Palais Royal, in the 1st arrondissement, accommodates both the old and the new in harmony. In the Cour d’honneur, Daniel Buren’s black and white columns, known as Les Colonnes de Buren, and the seventeenth-century facades somehow seem to sit comfortably together.
Cardinal Richelieu lived here in the early seventeenth-century, as did various itinerant ‘Royals’. In the second half of the eighteenth century, Louis-Philippe-Joseph, duc d’Orléans moved in and changed the character of the place.
In the arcades of the Palais Royale:
In the 1780’s he turned this aristocratic home into a public place with a shopping mall complete with luxury shops, cafés and even a circus and a waxworks museum. The Palais Royal became the place to see and to be seen in. It attracted customers, flaneurs, passers-by and prostitutes in equal measure – a hotbed of pleasure and entertainment. But more than that, it represented a significant change in the social dimension – a sort of classless rubbing of shoulders.
By the end of the eighteenth-century it had become a hotbed of political radicalism. In 1789, close to the restaurant Le Grand Véfour, which still stands in the Palais Royal and where Napoléon and Joséphine, Victor Hugo and Honoré de Balzac once sat, a young lawyer, Camille Desmoulins, an immature, reckless but passionate young man, stood on a table and issued his call ‘To Arms’. The crowd around him were to storm the Bastille the next day and the French Revolution was about to unleash unimaginable bloodshed.
Although the shops and restaurants are still there, the Palais Royal has a more sedate feel to it today.
Music outside the Palais Royal:
But keeping the eighteenth-century spirit of revelry alive, this group of young musicians enthusiastically reflect the former atmosphere of the Palais Royal much to the enjoyment of the large crowd rubbing shoulders around them.

Intel recruits Nokia to tout WiMAX
First real sign of 802.16e/3G integration?
Intel has persuaded Nokia to join it on its quest to establish WiMAX as the de facto standard for wireless broadband.
The two giants today said they will co-operate "to accelerate the development, adoption and deployment" of the wireless technology.
The agreement centres on the 802.16e specification for mobile WiMAX - the version of the technology that allows client devices to communicate with base-stations while in motion. The 802.16e specification has yet to be ratified as an IEEE standard. It is also incompatible with the ratified 802.16d WiMAX standard for fixed wireless broadband connections.
Intel has pledged to solve that incompatibility in silicon - essentially by building adaptors with two devices on board, one for each WiMAX mode. It has already launched 802.16d silicon.
The 802.16e specification borrows heavily from the mobile phone world, and it's Nokia's expertise in that area that Intel wants to utilise. Nokia is also a proponent of 3G mobile phone networks and their evolution through HSDPA (High Speed Data Packet Access) and HSUPA (High Speed Uplink Packet Access), both techniques expected to be implemented over the coming years to boost 3G data connection speeds. HSDPA only boosts download speeds, while HSUPA, due a few years further down the line, will increase upload throughput. A number of mobile phone networks are due to begin HSDPA trials this year with a view to a broader roll-out in 2006.
Indeed, there has been talk in the industry that 3G and 802.16e should be aligned into a single specification. Proponents of both technologies have long maintained that the two are complementary rather than competitive, but there's clearly plenty of cross-over between them.
WiMAX's success depends on offering a compelling alternative to existing 3G installations. Right now, it has a clear bandwidth advantage, but it has yet to be rolled out to any significant extent. HSDPA, HSUPA and future extensions have the potential to bring much higher data speeds to existing 3G networks with minimal upgrade costs. Nokia, for one, is working on a data-only version of 3G called I-HSPA, geared toward both mobile and fixed connections, Giuseppe Donagemma, head of Nokia's Radio Networks division, recently told The Register. The question is, can they arrive in time to negate the need for WiMAX? The jury is still out.
Either way, Intel is determined to drive the adoption of WiMAX at any cost, claim wireless industry insiders. The chip giant lost its leadership role in Wi-Fi, and it's resolute that it won't let the same thing happen with WiMAX, they say. ®

Suspected Terrorist Adel Daoud’s Trial May Be DelayedThe trial of a Hillside man accused of trying to blow up a downtown bar with a car bomb may be delayed as a federal judge decides whether he’s mentally fit for trial.
Bomb Plot Suspect Found Competent To Stand Trial; Lawyers May ChallengeA suburban man accused of trying to blow up a downtown Chicago bar three years ago has been found competent to stand trial, his lawyer said. But Thomas Anthony Durkin, a lawyer for 21-year-old Adel Daoud of Hillside, told a judge Monday he might challenge that finding ahead of Daoud’s trial Jan. 5.
Terror Suspect Charged With Trying To Kill Fellow InmateA 21-year-old man already charged with trying to set off a bomb downtown three years ago has been indicted on new charges of attacking and seriously injuring a fellow inmate.
Court Opinion Denying Terror Suspect Secret Court Records Mostly Blacked OutA federal appeals court has explained its ruling that a 20-year-old terrorism suspect has no right to see classified documents regarding how evidence against him was gathered, but much of the court’s opinion itself has been kept secret.
Court Denies Access To FISA Surveillance Records In Terror CaseA federal appeals court has ruled a 20-year-old terrorism suspect has no right to see classified documents regarding how evidence against him was gathered, reversing a trial court’s ruling that would have given him unprecedented access to FISA court records.
Arguments In Terrorism Suspect's Hearing Focus On Secret FISA RecordsA federal appeals court in Chicago heard rare oral arguments on Wednesday related to surveillance questions raised by disclosures from onetime government contractor Edward Snowden.
Lawyers Defending Terror Suspect Adel Daoud Want Access To FISA Documents The federal appeals court in Chicago is considering whether terrorism defendants have a right to know why they've been wire tapped by federal agents, reports WBBM’s John Cody.

UrbanClap is known as the app that connects freelance workers in India and UAE to those who are looking for professionals. The app has become hugely popular within four-and-a-half years of its launch and it enjoys a tremendous user base. Now, UrbanClap will be expanding its business even further because, in its latest round of funding, it has raised $75 million.
It is worth mentioning that this is Series E round of funding for UrbanClap and it was led by Tiger Global. Some of the company’s existing investors including Steadview Capital and Vy Capital were also a part of the current round of funding. We should point out that Steadview Capital had led the company’s Series D round of funding that had happened last year.
Till now, UrbanClap has raised around $185 million. The startup has said that as a part of the new financing round, some of its early investors have sold portions of their own stake.
UrbanClap has its operations in ten cities in India, Dubai and Abu Dhabi and as we mentioned earlier, it connects people with professionals like repair staff, photographers, beauticians, cleaners, etc. It’s a good way for users to look for professionals if they want to get their services and for freelancers, the app is an effective way of finding work.
Speaking to technology news website TechCrunch, the company’s CEO Abhiraj Bhal said that UrbanClap has a network of 20,000 service professionals and around 4,50,000 transactions are made on its platform every month. He also added that the app offers help to offline service workers, who usually rely on mediums like stores or word of mouth to get work. According to Bhal, UrbanClap makes it easier for them to find work and they get paid more for their work too. The CEO says that the app offers a more direct deal and workers get to keep 80% of the earnings that they make per job.
Bhal also added that this means that workers can earn multiples more and have control over their working hours. He said, “The UrbanClap model really allows them to become service entrepreneurs. Their earnings will shoot up two or three-fold, and it isn’t uncommon to see it rise as much as 8X — it’s a life-changing experience.”
The company says that the average value of service falls between $17 and $22. It is also worth pointing out that UrbanClap keeps its network of professionals updated and offers them training for credit and basic banking services. Bhal has also revealed that only 25% of those who apply are selected by UrbanClap on the basis of meetings, background and criminal checks and a test of the skills they specialize in.

Unfortunalty, I didn't have much time to spend on the mini the past year, such a shame. I missed some big charity event which the car was destinated to in the first place.
I managed anyways to rebuild the fuel system a couple of weeks ago, installed a catch tank in the front wing and a proper bosch 044 to feed the oven in my back. I need now a sunny day to take it to the MOT and test drive it. I'm really anxious to see if it made a change, if not after that I'm done.
I replace both looms with new ones (though I feel a bit of a guinea pig on this buy), the rotor, all the sensors, the ECU has been replaced a number of times with new test maps every time (thank you again SO MUCH for all your help) and now the fuel system... Maybe I should try putting om winter tires see if that solves it ;)

The Minnesota Vikings ramp up for their next challenge against the Washington Redskins this holiday weekend, and there are a few keys to winning this game that, hopefully, the Vikings exercise and execute.
The Washington Redskins are yet another team that are better than their record suggests, and as of late, the Redskins defense has been playing at a very high level, which will be difficult to deal with.
Let's see what other keys there are to winning this contest, shall we?
The Redskins are inevitably not going to make it easy on Minnesota when it comes to moving the ball, but in order to beat this Washington team, ball movement is paramount.
The Vikings will need to do what they haven't done well all year: convert on third down.
The more they can convert, the more they can move the ball and help control the clock against a very stingy Redskins D.
Rex Grossman is a strange quarterback.
You can easily rattle him and force him to make mistake early, but he'll often find a way to overcome the adversity just enough to hurt you.
On the other hand, if Grossman gets going, he can light you up and keep you down the entire game, which is why the Vikings need to simply get at him early and keep him under wraps with their elite pass rush.
If the Vikings can contain Grossman and the Redskins early, they absolutely need to run the ball in an effort to control the game and the clock in their favor.
It sounds like a broken record each week mentioning the ground game, but I have yet to see the Vikings place more emphasis on the ground game than the passing game, which has been hurting them each week.
The short passing game is a new quarterback's best friend, and it just so happens that Christian Ponder is rather good at it.
The Redskins are not very good at covering it, though, which is an aspect of this game the Vikings could exploit for their benefit.
If the Vikings concentrate on going deep early and often against this secondary, they are not going to have very much success.
There could be a few new faces on the field for Washington, especially if RB Roy Helu can't go, and new faces often present turnover opportunities.
Winning the turnover battle creates scoring chances again and again, and often is the game-changer in any NFL contest. The Vikings face a team that has a penchant for turning the ball over—particularly Rex Grossman.
If the Vikings can snag a quick turnover or two early, the pendulum will be swinging heavily in their favor towards a much needed victory.

To the Editor:
Despite a recent proposal by the city to the contrary, Founders Park should not be used for private events.
Anybody who visits Founders Park knows how much the park is enjoyed by families from many backgrounds. It is the type of public facility that we hope all of the waterfront will become.
It will be truly unfortunate if private parties are able to deprive these families the opportunity to enjoy Founders Park.
Moreover, a significant portion of the northern half of Founders Park is already used for a dog park, making it both uninviting for the general public, and unsuitable for young families.
The public should not be further denied enjoyment of the park by permitting private events to occupy the southern half of the park.

A gravel race in Iowa in February? What could possibly go wrong?
Well, for the past several years, not much.
Last year, we took an irreverent look at the annual CIRREM gravel event held outside Des Moines, Iowa and found temperatures in the 50s, albeit with a bit of wind. Not bad for a metric century when most folks in the Midwest are stuck inside on the trainer. In fact, the last three years have all had unseasonably warm temperatures.
This year, well that is another story.
First held in 2009, CIRREM got off to an auspicious start. The CIRREM results page tallies historical weather conditions, and it describes the 2009 event thusly, “25-34 degrees sleet/rain/snow windy and wet/soft gravel.”
As CIRREM 2019 neared, race organizer Kent Carlson had a sense this year could give 2009 a run for its money. “I still think that first year had the worst weather to date,” he said a week before the event. “Though I will say if the forecast holds, 2019 could be a contender.”
What was that forecast? The best an Iowa February has to offer.
Said Carlson, “From my weather app: ‘Areas of freezing rain possible. Temps nearly steady in the low to mid-30s. Winds NE at 10 to 20mph. Chance of rain 100%. Rainfall around a half an inch.'”
We will get back to whether or not that forecast came to fruition shortly.
The 2019 running of the CIRREM gravel race was the event’s 11th year. Starting and finishing in Cumming, Iowa, which is located just southwest of Des Moines, the race route is 100km long with nearly a mile of climbing—or 62 miles long with 1,600m of climbing.
Hills? In Iowa? You betcha, said Carlson.
“It is a gathering of my favorite scenic gravel roads in Madison County. People have joked when they come to an intersection they know which way the course goes purely based on where the hills lie. There may be some truth to that comment. The 100km course produces around 5,000 feet of climbing.”
The story of how CIRREM started is like many other gravel events, even if the race founder is not 100 percent sure what the name of his race stands for. “The name was my attempt to come up with something unique and catchy,” Carlson said. “Central Iowa Rock Road Endurance Metric is the best I could muster.”
He continued, “CIRREM was dreamt up by a couple of buddies—Jed Gammell and me—on a typical Madison County winter gravel ride in late 2008. So in February 2009, the idea was simple—get a group of friends out for a long ride slash race during a time of the year when most cyclists are hibernating. That year 25 riders showed up to snow, sleet and rain and windy conditions. Twelve finished.”
Although it was over 10 years ago, Carlson described an experience that sticks with him, probably because it was the most Iowa-gravel-in-February possible.
“After a long downhill descent, the pawls on my singlespeed hub froze, and I had to seek assistance from a friendly farmer watching us lunatics battle the elements from his barn. It’s amazing what needle nose pliers and WD40 can do to get you the remaining 40 miles to the finish. Now looking back, there couldn’t have been a more fitting beginning for CIRREM.”
Carlson and his crew would have been forgiven if they scrapped the idea of CIRREM after that first event and moved it to a month with warmer and drier weather. Midwesterners though, that’s not how they roll.
“We really had no idea this would turn into anything other than some of us were riding year ’round and thought others in the Midwest might want to check out some Central Iowa gravel,” Carlson said.
“The date has stuck because we have grown to embrace the suck of February in Iowa.”
So would CIRREM’s past and Carlson’s experience at that first ride be prologue for the 2019 running of CIRREM? In a word, yes.
The high temperature was above freezing—34 degrees—but that wintry mix forecast by the weatherman came in the form of two-thirds of an inch of rain and an inch and a half of snow.
The gravel roads turned to a solid sheet of ice on many parts of the course. CIRREM offers several categories including fat bike, singlespeed and Masters, and after seeing the recumbent guy handle this descent, laid-back tripod bikes might be a popular choice in 2020.

A comment on this Instagram post might sum things up the best: “There is a dude wearing ice skates … on a gravel road.”
The numbers of the race also tell the story. Two-hundred fifty-four people registered, 56 tried to start, 17 finished. Seventeen!
And someone actually won the race. And was able to kind of, sort of post up.
Kaiti Muelhaupt of Des Moines won the Women’s race.
Brian West of Winterset, Iowa, the poster-upper above, won the Men’s race.
Results for all categories are below.

A porn Web site that posted hacked nude photos of Jennifer Lawrence refuses to take them down — until lawyers can prove who owns the rights to the images.
The site argues that since the steamy shots are not selfies, the person who actually snapped them holds the copyright, TMZ reported.
A lawyer for the actress sent a letter to the porn site, which has not been named, demanding it remove the photos — which were leaked along with dozens of other naked and intimate shots of celebrities.
But the site fired back with their own document demanding Lawrence provide proof of copyright, including the name of the person who took the photos.
Nickelodeon star Victoria Justice — who initially claimed nude photos of her were fake — also plans to take legal action, the star announced on Wednesday.
“I am angry at this massive invasion of privacy, and like the other women who are in this situation alongside of me, I am taking legal action to protect my rights,” she said in a statement.
She added, “There have always been fake photos of me on the Internet, but I will not be put in the position to defend myself as to what is real or what is fake.”
The FBI is still looking into the hacking scandal, which also targeted stars such as Kate Upton and Kirsten Dunst.
The FBI didn’t return requests for comment on Wednesday.
Steve Warren, a lawyer representing Jennifer Lawrence, declined to comment.

After the story I told last week, Harriette Wilson, tells us in her memoirs that Mr Meyler paid her ‘unusual attention’ becoming far more attentive, perhaps fearing she might stray…
And then she shares one of her passages that for me is a window in to the past and a very truthful glimpse of the relationship she had with her lover, Mr Meyler.
But before I share it, here’s the history of this series of posts for anyone reading them for the first time today. If you’ve been following Harriette’s story, as always, jump straight the end of the italics.
In 1825 Harriette Wilson, a courtesan, published a series of stories as her memoirs in a British broad sheet paper. The Regency gentleman’s clubs were a buzz, waiting to see the next names mentioned each week. While barriers had to be set up outside the shop of her publisher, Stockdale, to hold back the disapproving mob.
Harriette was born Harriette Debochet, she chose the name Harriette Wilson as her professional name, in the same way Emma Hart, who I’ve blogged about previously, had changed her name. Unlike Emma, it isn’t known why or when Harriette changed her name.
She was one of nine surviving children. Her father was a watchmaker and her mother a stocking repairer, and both were believed to be from illegitimate origin.
Three of Harriette’s sisters also became courtesans. Amy, Fanny and Sophia (who I have written about before). So the tales I am about to begin in my blogs will include some elements from their lives too.
For a start you’ll need to understand the world of the 19th Century Courtesan. It was all about show and not just about sex. The idle rich of the upper class aspired to spending time in the company of courtesans, it was fashionable, the thing to do.
You were envied if you were linked to one of the most popular courtesans or you discovered a new unknown beauty to be admired by others.
Courtesans were also part of the competitive nature of the regency period too, gambling was a large element of the life of the idle rich and courtesans were won and lost and bartered and fought for.
So courtesans obviously aspired to be one of the most popular, and to achieve it they learnt how to play music, read widely, so they could debate, and tried to shine in personality too. They wanted to be a favoured ’original’.
The eccentric and outspoken was admired by gentlemen who liked to consort with boxers and jockeys, and coachmen, so courtesans did not aim for placid but were quite happy to insult and mock men who courted them, and demand money for any small favour.
In Harriette’s words, and I love this because it paints an image in my head, ‘One morning, when I called on him at his house in Grosvenor Square, I found him reclined on his chaise-longue, in a very pensive attitude. On a table, before him, was a most becoming military cap, which appeared to belong to the militia, or might have been worn, for aught I knew, by the hero of some corps of volunteers.’
I can see him there, and without Harriette saying she called on him, I would never have thought she’d have gone to his house! But then she goes on to tell us how he speaks… and you can get a real judgement of his mannerisms.
‘What is the matter, Meyler? And why is that frightful cap stuck up before you?’
‘Ah!’ said Meyler, with his usual slight, but sentimental sigh, ‘frightful indeed! Fancy a little, quiet, country-gentleman, like myself, sticking such a thing as that on his head!’
‘What necessity can there possibly be, for disfiguring yourself so?’ (Harriette has told us previously she never had a fancy for men in uniform. She preferred them in evening dress, in breeches and stockings so she could see their calves).
‘Why you see I am obliged to be Captain of the Hampshire militia, of which Lord Palmerston is Colonel and Commander,’ continued Meyler having another sigh, and looking most interestingly pensive, while his eyes were steadily fixed on the cap.
I could not help laughing; for there was, in fact, a originality about Meyler’s manner of saying mere trifles, which it would be impossible to describe. And then he spoke so very slow, and his mouth was such a model of beauty, that even nonsense came gracefully out of it.’
His speech was so slow, that Harriette recalls his friend mimicking him for fun, Mildmay, of last week’s tale, accused him of taking a half-hour to say the name of his dog, ‘Ch-a-n-c-e’, Harriette berated him for calling Meyler stupid, but Mildmay’s reply was ‘Meyler possess a good understanding when one cane give him a fortnight to consider things; but whenever impulse is required, he is of no use on earth.’
‘I don’t K-n-o-w t-h-a-t’ Harriette says she mimicked, teasing her lover herself.
Still Meyler had another cause to put on military dress…
‘Do you know that Lord Worcester is expected to bring home the next dispatches?’ said Fanny’ to Harriette one night while they sat at the opera.
Well there was a thing, Harriette’s ex-lover, and the man who Meyler had tried to separate her from, initially out of dislike for her, thinking her bad company, and then because he wanted her himself. And the man whose family Meyler was still a close friend of, to the point he regularly stayed with them minus Harriette. When Lord Worcester’s father the Duke, as well as Lord Worcester, had treated Harriette badly.
‘It is all the same to me,’ Harriette replied, ‘since he could be so selfish and vilely shabby as to acquaint his father I had written to him. I shall never respect or like him again.’
But Fanny said she had received another letter from him. ‘A friend of mine, says… he, ‘saw my sweet Harriette in Hyde Park, looking lovely. God bless her! What would I give, but to see her pass, at this moment, even though she refused to acknowledge me.’
Harriette was not at all interested in the young Marquis, and his father the Duke of Beaufort, they had tricked her out of the money she’d been owed from her relationship with Worcester. But the idea of him coming back to London made her feel vulnerable, and in need of Meyler’s company. Yet that night he was invited to the Duchess of Devonshire’s dress-ball. ‘the idea torments me wretchedly.’
The night of the party, Harriette is at the opera, ‘I turned many an anxious glance towards the Duchess of Beaufort’s box’ (where Meyler usually sat if he was not with Harriette) but he did not arrive at either box before the curtain came down. But then as Harriette left the box with her friends there was a voice from a dark corner, saying her name. (Ah, dark corners in an opera house, pure gold to a romance writer – imagine that!)
‘Good gracious, Mr Meyler, is it you?’ He was dressed in a military uniform, and hiding.
‘I am going to the Duke of Devonshire’s dress-ball, where there will be plenty more fools in the same ridiculous sort of costume; and where, I hope, I shall not feel so much ashamed of myself; but here, I cannot for the life of me summon courage to face my acquaintance, and so, here have I been stuck up, in the dark, for the last two hours, trying to get to your box; yet ashamed to venture to my own carriage, till everybody shall have left the house.’
The women laughed at him, ‘the poor little interesting hero! And yet he looked so handsome, and his red coat reflected such a fine glowing tint on his transparent, pale cheeks, that I was selfish and wicked enough to determine against his exhibiting himself at His Grace of Devonshire’s.’
Harriette wanted him to come home, and not go. But as usual what Meyler wanted was what occurred. He told her he would go, as it was the first time he’d been invited and everyone was going, but that he would come back to her as soon as he could.
Bundled into his carriage, with the coachman ordered to take her home, I imagine Harriette’s need to win a battle with an aristocrat and have some comfort over the treatment Lord Worcester had bestowed on her came to a head. She did not want to be his second choice, second best, and she knew he was going back to Grosvenor Square. ‘I had scarcely got into Piccadilly, when the fit of jealousy seized me with such overpowering violence, that I suddenly pulled the check-string, and reqested to be conducted to Meyler’s house.’
When she arrived there she walked right up to his dressing-room. ‘Meyler,’ said I, ‘I have given way, at all times, to your caprice and jealousy. This once, humour mine, and I shall feel most grateful. My health and spirits are low tonight. Pray cut the Duke, and return with me. It is the first time I ever interfered with your amusements, therefore do not refuse me.’
He would have refused her, he did. But. ‘Well, then,’ said I, ‘I shall not return home alone. I propose going to Lord Ebrington’s, and making love to him.’ That speech would have disgusted most men; but I knew Meyler.
‘I am sure you would not leave me for Ebrington…’
‘Upon my word I will, and this very night, if he is to be found and you refuse to return with me.’
‘Well then I must return with you,’ said poor Meyler.’ Finally persuaded.
But Harriette highlights how unusual such anger and blackmail were as a form of persuasion for a courtesan, by telling us that one of Meyler’s friends said her behaviour had been very wrong, bringing Meyler home by force… But it was the format of her relationship with Meyler – anger, control, jealousy and passion, was what they were about.

Bright Empires – 2
Kit Livingstone has been bequeathed by his great grandfather, Cosimo, an apparently impossible task: to piece together a 17th-century map whose fragments are scattered not just throughout this universe but other universes too. Aided by his girlfriend, Mina, herself in Hapsburg-Empire Prague, Kit begins to make progress but realises that opponents, in the shape of the Burley Men, are equally determined to capture the map, and they have a crucial advantage: the ability to manipulate the will of historical figures for their own ends.
