Suzuki has already announced that it intends to construct a lithium-ion battery
plant along with its partners in Gujarat, where it currently operates a
manufacturing plant supplying automobiles exclusively to its Indian arm Maruti
Suzuki. Suzuki will produce EVs for Indian market and will supply some of them
to Toyota, which will provide technical support.Announcement by the two
companies comes at a time when the Indian government is pushing for electric
vehicles.
Such activities encompass the establishment of charging stations,
human resources development that includes training for after-service technicians
employed throughout sales networks, and systems for the appropriate treatment of
end-of-life batteries," it said.The announcement by the two companies comes at a
time when the Indian government is pushing for electric vehicles, setting a
target of an all electric fleet by 2030.The two companies said in a joint
statement that they have concluded a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to take
forward a co-operative structure under which Suzuki will produce EVs for the
Indian market and will supply some of them to Toyota, which will provide

Tata Motors showcased its first sub
It also looks like a credible rival for the Ford&brake motors
Suppliers39;s 1.com.5 lakh. The manual transmissions on the Brezza and the
EcoSport are all 5-speed units.2-litre petrol engine with 110PS of power at
5000rpm and 170Nm of torque. The Nexon might have the turbocharged version of
the three-cylinder petrol engine which powers the Tiago and the Tigor.5-litre
diesel engine that makes 110PS of power at 3750rpm.
Tata Motors showcased its
first sub-four metre SUV, the Nexon, at the Geneva Motor Show this year, and now
it has teased the upcoming SUV along with some engine details.For the fans of
oil burners, the Nexon will have a new 1. Then comes the torque figure of 260Nm
available between 1500 and 2750rpm, which overloads the scales in the Nexon's
favour.5 to Rs 9. Once burnt, twice shy. The Nexon will be powered by a 1.
Compared to the EcoSport's 1. Tata would want to stay away from the 'budget
brand' image, which took down a perfectly good city car. It should hit the
showrooms well before the festive season to allow buyers enough time to fall in
love with it.2-litre petrol engine with 110PS of power at 5000rpm and 170Nm of
torque spread between 2000 and 4000rpm.
Expect the Nexon to have a feature # list
as expansive as the Brezza and EcoSport and then have a couple of extras. The
Brezza's 200Nm and EcoSport's 205Nm are good numbers and keep the SUVs light on
their feet, but the Nexon's twist blows them both out of the water. Expect the
pricing to be competitive but not aggressive.Tata stands at a higher ground here
compared to the Vitara Brezza as the Maruti alternative doesn't have a petrol
engine at all.Are these juicy details enough to make the potential Brezza and
EcoSport buyers re-evaluate their purchase?
Yes, of course! And these numbers
should also keep us drooling until we get behind the wheel of the latest compact
SUV. The numbers are already enough to put it ahead of the game.Source:
ZigWheels. So, just like the Tigor, expect the pricing to be competitive but not
aggressive and range from Rs 6. Its power figure alone puts it head and
shoulders above the Brezza and beats the EcoSport too. As the peak torque kicks
in early and also stays across the mid-range, we can say that is a turbocharged
engine.0-litre EcoBoost, which makes a healthy 125PS and 170Nm.Nexon will be
powered by a 1.
Both the engines will come with a 6-speed manual transmission,
further making the competition look inferior in the process.5-litre petrol
engine, its performance should be good because of its torque curve, which is not
only wider but also higher than Ford's petrol engine

We are taking a careful yet balanced approach to incorporating
Last year, New York City said it was moving forward with a federally managed
programme to design and test so-called connected car technology, a key building
block of autonomous technology. Companies in New York must have a $5 million
insurance policy, submit reports to the state, be overseen by the state police
and pay the state police for supervising each test.,
Toyota Motor Corp and
Waymo, the self-driving car unit of Google parent company Alphabet Inc, have all
suggested changes to California&fan
motors Manufacturers39;s latest proposed policy to allow real-world use and
testing of vehicles without steering wheels. Thirteen states and the District of
Columbia have passed legislation related to autonomous vehicles, according to
the National Conference of State Legislatures.
California's autonomous vehicle
testing regulations went into effect in September 2014, but the road to a full
rollout has not always been smooth.. Up to 8,000 vehicles, including taxis,
trucks, cars and buses, are also being outfitted with technology that will let
them communicate with each other.Testing also cannot take place in construction
or school zones - which take up huge swaths of land in New York City - and must
adhere to a predesignated route shared in advance with the state.Supporters say
it can reduce driver error and make roads safer and more efficient.
We are
taking a careful yet balanced approach to incorporating autonomous vehicles on
our roads to reduce dangerous driving habits, decrease the number of accidents
and save lives on New York roadways," Cuomo said in a statement.The city is
installing special traffic lights, which can connect to vehicles wirelessly,
throughout midtown Manhattan and parts of Brooklyn.New York is accepting
applications from companies interested in testing the vehicles through a
year-long pilot programme.Companies developing self-driving car technology,
including Apple Inc, Tesla Inc, Ford Motor Co, Uber Technologies Inc [UBER.The
crowded race to develop self-driving technology has sped ahead despite
controversy caused by a handful of accidents, the idea of not having humans
controlling vehicles physically, and new infrastructure needs.New York's
programme requires manufacturers to adhere to a number of oversight measures and
restrictions that could raise objections from an industry that prefers private,

Whilst these findings raise an intriguing theory
People who eat food items such as sharks and swordfish - that are very high in
mercury - are at increased risk of developing the incurable disease that takes
away the ability of nerve cells to interact with the body&disposer
Factory39;s muscles.
Whilst these findings raise an intriguing theory that
eating certain types of fish may be linked to a slightly higher incidence of
ALS, the results would need to be independently verified," said Dr Brian Dickie,
from the Motor Neurone Disease Association in the US.A total of 61 per cent of
people with ALS were in the top 25 per cent of estimated mercury intake,
compared to 44 percent of people who did not have ALS.Sharks and swordfish are
very high in mercury and can cause the neurone disease The mercury in the food
takes away the ability of nerve cells to interact with the body's muscles.
Seafood lovers, take note! Eating fish rich in
mercury may put you at risk of developing motor neurone diseases # such as
amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), scientists have warned. Those in the top 25
per cent for estimated annual mercury intake were at double the risk for ALS
compared to those with lower levels according to the findings. Participants
reported the types of fish they ate and whether they were purchased from stores
or caught during fishing. The exact cause of ALS is unknown but some previous
studies suggest mercury might be a risk factor, researchers said."Mercury may
represent a risk factor for neurodegenerative conditions such as ALS but, if so,
it is a very small risk and certainly not a primary cause of the disease," he
added. As many as 518 people were quizzed on how much fish andseafood they
consumed each year, of which 294 had ALS.
For most people, eating fish is part
of a healthy diet.The levels of mercury found in toenail samples from
participants with ALS were compared to those without ALS. Researchers then
estimated the annual exposure to mercury by looking up the average mercury
levels in the types of fish and the frequency that the participants reported
eating them. Experts are urging people to think carefully about the food they
eat and choose food with lower mercury levels. But questions remain about the
possible impact of mercury in fish," said Elijah Stommel from Dartmouth College
in the US

during the year 1967 had a song Thotta Idam Thulanga Varum Thaai Kulame Varuga
(welcome to the woman with Midas Touch) sung by Sirgazhi Govindharajan.Milestone
films of her film careerDebut in Tamil with Vennira Aadai: Jayalalithaa was
introduced in Tamil by famed filmmaker Sridhar in Vennira Aadai.We were all
looking at the beautiful Jaya ma'am and she gave an expensive gift to the child
and even did a patting gesture to me before departure. She stood by what she
said earlier. Her lively and bubbly performance in the film earned her much
appreciation and also showcased her dancing talent as well. I was a movie buff
and an avid fan of Jayalalithaa and as a child my mother would take me to the
theaters where her films played from early 1970s.When the news of Amma's death
came, I was shattered and could not believe and wished and prayed if any miracle
could bring her back to life.
The hero being a relatively newcomer called Jai
Shankar (who later became a hero to reckon with). The ravishing actress used to
visit my neighbour's house, as she was their first cousin. Kaavalkaran, Kannan
En Kaadhalan, Arasa Kattali , Oli Vilakku to name a few blockbusters.There was
yet another reason for our special attachment to Ammu (as she was called at home
and by her close relatives). The film was a sleeper hit. I was pushed into two
high profile professions which I never enjoyedâ€, she had reportedly
confessed.Mythological stint with Kandhan Karunai: Directed by AP Nagarajan,
known for his mythological movies, Jaya portrayed Valli, wife of Lord Muruga
essayed by Sivakumar.K. Balachander roped her for Major Chandrakanth: During the
same year in 1965, yet another ace filmmaker KB cast her in Major Chandrakanth.
The party cadres later used this as the 'Welcome Song' when she assumed power as
CM of Tamil Nadu. The pair came together in Deiva Magan, Enga Oor Raja, Savaale
Samaali, Sumathi En Sundari, Pattikaada Pattanama, Engirundho Vandhal and Raja
among others.Tryst with Bollywood with Izzat: This 1968 Hindi film was
Jayalalithaa's debut in B'town.She was keen neither on acting nor on entering
politics but she was pushed towards these two high profile professions by her
mother Sandhya and mentor MGR respectively.
She made her debut as the lead
actress in a Kannada film Chinnada Gombe (1964) while still in school at the age
of 15. I got the opportunity to see her at close quarters whenever she attended
function at their residence. The day she patted my cheek and asked my name was
the most memorable one. Acting free of cost for her dance master guru in Annai
Velankanni: Jaya did this devotional film on Annai Velankanni's miracles free of
cost which was directed by her guru choreographer Thangappan.Once again in 1968,
she continued her success streak by acting in 17 movies including few Tollywood
flicks.Jayalalithaa, the uncrowned queen, who ruled the roost in south film
industry during mid-60s and 70s, was considered as one of the most prolific and
versatile actress and a style icon during her period. Late Tamil Nadu Chief
Minister Jayalalithaa. Casting a newcomer to share screen space with iconic MGR
created a huge buzz in the industry then. She played a spunky Adivasi belle,
Jhumki, in love with Dharmendra, who is far above her socially. "I don't enjoy
politics, I am doing my duty to the party, to the people of TN. But Jaya
disproved all misgivings with her youth appeal and fabulous performance
alongside of MGR and people started calling Fearless Nadhiya.
Her body of work
includes 160 films in all south Indian languages: Tamil with the likes of the
iconic MGR, Sivaji, Jai Shankar, Muthuraman, Gemini Ganesan; Telugu with the
legendary NTR and Nageswara Rao; Malayalam and Kannada with Kalayan Kumar, and
even in Hindi with the film Izaat featuring Dharmendra. She broke the record of
other actors by acting in 17 films in the year 1967 alone. Proving her gritty
nature during Ganga Gowri shoot: Known for her boldness, when Jayalalithaa who
always calls herself as a 'Tamil Girl' refused to say that she belonged to
Mysore and was a Kannadiga when Kannada activist named Vattal Nagaraj compelled
to tell when he barged into the sets of Ganga Gowri at Chamundeswari Studio at
Mysore. I went speechless for a while. The solo number Oru Naal Yaaro filmed on
her was a chartbuster one.Aayirathil Oruvan won her the title Fearless Nadhiya:
When MGR was at his peak having completed 80 movies, famous director Panthulu
(whose first directorial venture with MGR) brought Jaya on board opposite the
former..Jayalalithaa was introduced in Tamil by famed filmmaker Sridhar in
Vennira Aadai. Her debut in tinsel town was with an English movie Epistle in
1961. Despite her reluctance, having made a career out of films and politics
later, she took them in her own stride and carved a niche for herself.Later she
was paired opposite Sivaji in many movies, which turned out to be huge
success.Motor Sundaram Pillai with Sivaji Ganesan: Even as she was romancing MGR
on screen, the pretty actress was roped in for a movie with yet another
superstar Sivaji Ganesan for Motor Sundaram Pillai where she essayed the
latter's daughter.
In the same year 1966, she joined hands with yet another
newbie Ravichandran in Kumari Penn. The movie was made in color at a time black
and white films were in vogue.In fact, she came straight from her film Raja's
shoot with a saffron clad saintly looks replete with makeup to attend my
next-door aunt's son's first birthday. Young Jayalalithaa, who was all of 16,
made a lasting impression with her captivating charm and promising performance.
In no time she became the lucky charm of MGR, who later cast her in 28 films and
the pair was considered as a evergreen Jodi
