'Tamraj' means the 'King of Darkness' and the latest custom job around a Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 by Neev Motorcycles justifies the name.

Most performance cars are not designed for Indian conditions, but does the GLC 43 AMG strike the perfect balance to be usable every day of the week and satisfy the enthusiast?

Royal Enfield Interceptor INT 650 Road Test Review: We'd already admitted that the new 650cc parallel twin is superb, but how good is the Interceptor 650 with long-distance touring and fuel efficiency? We found out.

Our long-termer Royal Enfield Interceptor recently visited the Queen of Hills - Mussoorie! Here's how the latest addition to Express Drives' garage is to live with and if we encountered any problems with it during the initial run.

A 1200 km ride across the great Indian coastline on a brilliant motorcycle, well, that's what Royal Enfield Konkan Chase 2020 was all about. Here is our experience!

Our long-termer Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 completes two astonishing months with us just before entering hibernation mode due to the 21-day lockdown. Here's our experience!

Consumer demand for non-essential products with e-commerce firms has increased manifold after the government last Friday lifted the ban on sale of such products by e-tailers.

Threat trends show political and economic intentions of cybercriminals.

Retail experts estimate that the current situation might wipe off 10% of e-commerce companies’ annual GMV in the country.

Additionally, the quantum of advance payment that discoms need to furnish as security has been reduced to half till June 30.

Finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman in the FY20 Budget abolished MDR charges for all merchants having a turnover of over Rs 50 crore which would lead the payment companies taking a hit on their margins.

He added that the Department for Promotion of Investment and Internal Trade is working to create a genuine single window for setting up factories and manufacturing units.

Beginning May 9, Air India has scheduled seven non-scheduled commercial flights from the US to India facilitating the return of Indian nationals, who could not travel due to COVID-19 restrictions, the Indian Embassy in Washington had said in its advisory on Wednesday night.

A few customers have recently asked whether we can provide schematic-based ERC checks.  This is no doubt spurred by a recent product announcement by one of our competitors.  No - I'm not going to say who, and I'm not going to provide a link to their product page. 

We have had layout-based ERC checks as part of our Assura physical verification product since release 3.2 became available last August.  A quick check with our field AEs revealed that it's also possible to use Assura for ERC checks based on netlists and schematics, as well as layouts.  One of our AEs has put some instructions together, and it actually looks pretty easy.  Ask your friendly Cadence physical verification expert for a copy of the document, and tell them to send out an email on the Cadence internal Assura AE email alias if they can't find it right away.  While you're at it, ask about the 10x performance improvement that we made in Assura 3.2. 

It's interesting that our competitor has made a separate product from this when we give it away for free with Assura.  Marketing, I guess. 

In my last post I talked about the layout, schematic and netlist ERC capabilities of Assura. 

"But", I hear you ask, "is it programmable?"

One of the characteristics that makes Assura such a natural fit within the Virtuoso custom design platform is that it shares the platform's programming language, SKILL.  So yes, it's programmable - in the very same language that your Pcells are written in. 

Prime Minister Tony Abbott’s government will negotiate with the opposition to cut Australia’s renewable energy target and exempt industries such as aluminum and copper smelting.

Shinzo Abe’s re-election as prime minister risks undercutting Japan’s commitment to clean energy at a time when incentives are under review and the nation’s utilities say they can’t accommodate capacity already planned.

California Governor Jerry Brown proposed spending $59 billion to fix crumbling roads and raising the state’s renewable energy mandate to 50 percent.

Clean energy investments in India increased to $7.9 billion last year and are expected to surpass $10 billion in 2015.

In a previous article, I had a conversation with former-CIA chief Jim Woolsey to discuss one of America’s greatest national security vulnerabilities, its power grid. The issues that Woolsey has been concerned with for over a decade has been the ease in which a terrorist group or other actor (think North Korea for example) could attack the grid and plunge the country into darkness for months, if not years. And if that seems far-fetched, just recall how a tree limb fell in Ohio in 2003 and blacked out the entire Northeast and part of Canada for several days.

President Barack Obama ordered the federal government to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 40 percent from 2008 levels over the next 10 years by shifting to renewable energy sources such as solar power.

Mexico has become the first developing nation to formally promise to cut its global-warming pollution, a potential milestone in efforts to reach a worldwide agreement on tackling climate change.

Global investment in clean energy slumped 15 percent in the first quarter to the lowest level in two years because of a decline in wind and utility-scale projects.

We've made great progress with renewable energy — but from an almost zero base we still have a long way to go. Fortunately, the path is clear. California is already over 12 percent with a combination of hydroelectric, wind and solar (unfortunately not much hydro this year). Getting to 50 percent only requires the deployment of existing technology. But can we get to 100 percent?

According to the latest "Energy Infrastructure Update" report from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (FERC) Office of Energy Projects, wind, solar, geothermal, and hydropower combined provided over 75 percent (75.43 percent) of the 1,229 megawatts (MW) of new U.S. electrical generating capacity placed into service during the first quarter of 2015. The balance (302 MW) was provided by natural gas.

Ongoing growth in renewable energy investment and deployment is creating jobs worldwide — and lots of them. This job growth is helping governments address a fundamental economic problem plaguing developed and developing countries alike. Deploying renewables rather than fossil fuel capacity is also reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and other environmental pollution that holds the threat of a sixth great extinction.

The U.S. brought online nearly 700 MW of new electricity generation in October, and practically all of it was large-scale solar energy, according to data from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (FERC) Office of Energy Projects.

U.K. renewable power generation rose 28 percent last year as more wind farms and solar plants came online, the Department of Energy and Climate Change said.

Clean energy investment rose by 9 percent in the first quarter from a year earlier on surging demand for rooftop solar panels from the U.S. to Japan.
