The government says this could be solved by better

The government says this could be solved by better bill collection and by reducing power theft by those using unauthorised and unmetered China floor insulation Suppliers grid links.Singh said distributors would be fined if they cut power to customers unless the shutdown was caused by factors such as the weather or a disaster that was beyond a company’s control. Distributors would be fined if they cut power to customers unless the shutdown was caused by factors such as the weather or a disaster that was beyond a company’s control.India, which wants renewable power sources excluding major hydropower plants to account for 40 percent of installed capacity by 2030, would also push states to deliver on commitments to supply power from clean sources, Singh said. 


The remainder comes from nuclear and major hydropower plants.

New talents bring in fresh silhouettes with new proportions and reinterpretations

New talents bring in fresh silhouettes with new proportions and reinterpretations. ModelS wear creations part of the DSquared2 men's Spring-Summer 2018 collection, presented in Milan, Italy, Sunday, June 18, 2017. (AP Photo/Antonio Calanni) Milan: Second day of Milan Fashion Week saw a fresh breeze as young designers took the spotlight bringing in fresh silhouettes with new proportions and reinterpretations of old summertime favorites from linens to stripes.Prada RealityMiuccia Prada took inspiration from graphic novels for her latest collection, which aims to create a dialogue between the virtual world and the real world.She employed two artists - James Jean from Los Angeles and Ollie Schrauwen of Belgium - to create graphic stories on a human and not superhero scale. They covered the walls of the showroom and became the prints that defined Sunday's menswear collection in Milan.Scenes included a monkey with X-ray vision who it later turns out is mechanical and an oversized spider descending to pick up houses.Nylon jumpsuits defined the Prada silhouette, belted at the waist and gathered at the ankles and cuffs with plastic Prada labels. Shirt collars were turned up. There was a shorts version worn with Prada men's knee socks and pointy leather shoes.The silhouette was repeated in casualwear, with sweaters tucked into athletic-style trousers. Meshed sweaters of horizontal stripes tucked into houndstooth pattern trousers turned up into a thick cuff. Sandals with socks anchored those looks.Graphic prints appeared in both pastel colors and black and white on shirts, jacket panels and bags. Prada said she added overcoats to unify the looks.Textures at FerragamoGuillaume Meilland's second collection for Ferragamo is inspired by the Mediterranean coastline shared by his native France and adopted Italy.The looks are defined by texture: cable-knit fishermen's sweaters, velvety shorts, corduroy trousers and suede laser cut tops, all hearty fare for wind-swept seaside strolls. The designer also added touches of whimsy like sea horse prints and coral key chains."Yes I like the idea of having, for me, something very Italian, something very much linked to the idea of the holidays and the seaside," Meilland said backstage. "Textures, colors, we are trying combine soft velvet, English fabrics and heavy linens ... The fluid and something more rough."The looks combined for an effortless silhouette that Meilland said was inspired by the 1960 French film "Purple Noon," based on the Patricia Highsmith's "Ripley" novels.Ferragamo's footwear included penny loafers or slip on moccasins with rubber soles adorned with the trademark buckle for the city or rope accents for the seaside.Bikkembergs creationsLee Wood laid the seams bare at Dirk Bikkembergs during his second season as its creative director.The clean collection revealed the construction details that create rhythms with their repetition, from the patchwork trousers to the intarsia knitwear.Wood said he was inspired by the brutalism architectural movement of the late 1960s and early 1970s that stood against adornment."I wanted it to be brutal. I wanted it to be honest. I wanted it to be like men should be," Lee said backstage. "I don't want to see men all pretty and perfect. I think a man should be rugged."The lines were simple, with neat T-shirts with scooped necks paired with urban patchwork trousers cut from natural fabrics. The cuffs were turned up to reveal the rough seam. Heavy boots and utilitarian sandals anchored the looks.


Suit jackets were worn with shorts that were nearly bloomers in proportion, a fob to summer, while some trousers were festooned with maxi-pockets. Tops, by contrast, were soft, like one that was a patchwork of gold, light blue and white.While the materials were mostly natural fibers and the color palette based on hues of blue, white and slate gray, the collection closed with flashes of green and Japanese technical fabric.Yolo from KoreaKorean designer Munsoo Kwon made his Milan debut in the Armani theater with a collection that contained some measure of autobiography.

The triptych collection includes pieces based on European tailoring, Korean military wear and a series of character looks. The thread that connects them all: The YOLO phenomenon, previously, before the invention of abbreviation-loving social media, known as "You Only Live Once."The 37-year-old Kwon expresses his whimsy with out-of-proportion cuts: Boyish striped sweaters that are part of his character series are gigantic with wide, trailing arms, dwarfing the wearer.The military looks are elongated and soft, not your usual regimented rendering. And the tailored outfits are clean and elegant, featuring pinstripe pants with long belts worn with a pajama-inspired top and a trench coat with bell sleeves

Let that sink in. That’s right, it’s time for the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2018. However, now, a couple of years into its life, the whole VR sector in terms of gaming has been a little underwhelming.Next up we have an exciting announcement from Team Red, a.. As has been the trend of years past, our favourite companies are showing off their latest wow factor goodies one after the other leaving our jaws to drag along the floor as we peruse what each of them has to offer. This year it’s all gaga over innovations and huge displays. With rising innovations in VR technology. 


Announcements that made an impactThis year it’s all gaga over innovations and huge displaysIt’s that time of the year again when us tech freaks get giddy with anticipation as we see what the year ahead holds in store for us in terms of all the transistor induced goodness that the companies throw at us.k. Since my preferences in peripherals are less ‘futuristic’ I have never much taken to MAD Catz’s design philosophy, however, for those of you missing the ultra-robotic and futuristic design language, get hyped!And lastly we have HTC.NVIDIA is no alien to innovation and has consistently managed to wow us via their partner brands year in year out with some tech or the other, this year, is definitely the year of the displays.Samsung’s ‘The Wall’. While the TV is impressive, it’s limited by, well, practicality, however, I am curious to see how the new display panel technology evolves.For those of you who are fans of gaming peripherals that resemble transformers, well Mad Catz is back after going bankrupt with a range of new hardware that includes a new wireless RAT Air mouse, a Strike 4 keyboard and Freq 4 Gaming headset. This is accompanied by a new motherboard line as well, namely the X470 series of motherboards. 

The new BFGDs are 65 inch, 4K 120Hz IPS panels with a built in NVIDIA Shield.

You need to manufacture local products in local markets

Apple benefits in Asia from a network that goes beyond sub-contractors assembling smartphones, tablets or laptops.Whether politically motivated or not, Apple is not in the same position as automakers which relocated US factories overseas to cut costs, according to IHS manufacturing processes chief analyst Dan Panzica."I have discussed with my major clients about going to (the US) and they are also willing to invest, including Apple,” Foxconn founder Terry Gou said in Taipei. 


You need to manufacture local products in local markets,” he said.Global Equities Research analyst Trip Chowdhry says moving manufacturing to the US was more logical than a political one. xps foam Suppliers Donald Trump has vowed to force Apple to bring production to US. Making things locally gives better control of distribution networks and lets manufacturers customise goods for local markets, he said. Taiwan-based Foxconn has given no details, and Apple did not comment..Apple benefits in Asia from a network that goes beyond sub-contractors assembling smartphones, tablets or laptops. 

The Apple jobs were never here,” Panzica said.Major Apple contractor Foxconn this month confirmed that it is considering a $7-billion investment to make flat panels in the US in a joint project with Japan’s SoftBank. San Francisco: As US President Donald Trump pushes hard for goods to be "made in America,” how realistic is it to expect Apple to stop manufacturing its iconic devices in China?The newly inaugurated President had vowed during campaigning that he would force Apple to bring production to US soil. 

The entire supply chain grew in China,” Panzica added. Apple never moved jobs offshore, it created them there. China also offers sources of important raw materials, along with cheap, flexible and abundant labour to keep iPhone assembly lines cranking along. It would be "very hard to replicate” that situation with US workers without using "more robotics and less workforce,” undermining the political aim of creating jobs here, according to Endpoint Technologies analyst Roger Kay.Yet, as other big companies have sought to appease the new administration with promises of jobs or investments in the US, Apple has stayed low-profile.The California-based firm relies on a dense ecosystem of companies that make components and spare parts for its devices too

I thought only the Congress and the BJP were scared

The founder-members of the party, who participated in the anti-graft campaign that was the precursor to AAP, were known to be close friends.It referred to a video in which Mr Vishwas was seen making a veiled attack on the Delhi government over alleged corruption before the MCD polls. Kumar Vishwas (Photo: PTI) New Delhi: The Aam Aadmi Party was a dream that thousands of people breathed life into.


Mr Vishwas believes he has been overlooked by the top brass. Recent developments indicate that the rift between poet-turned-politician Vishwas on one side, and chief minister Kejriwal and his deputy Sisodia on the other, has widened to an abyss.

I thought only the Congress and the BJP were scared of me,” he later said, taking a dig at the AAP leadership.Mr Khan was suspended, but the Vishwas camp said he was never out of favour.Mr Vishwas took strong exception to that and threatened he would quit the party if action was not taken against Mr Khan, who he described as just a "mask”. Bitterness has reached a point where a détente seems unlikely, they said.Mr Vishwas is also troubled over the top leaders’ relationship with Okhla MLA Amanatullah Khan.

The party’s national council meeting held last week reflected this. Recently, the party revoked the suspension of Mr Khan, who, after AAP’s debacle in the MCD elections, had accused Mr Vishwas of being an "agent of the RSS” and trying to split the party. What if Kumar starts attacking the party after becoming a Rajya Sabha member,” asked an AAP leader considered close to Mr Kejriwal. One bone of contention is the tussle over a Rajya Sabha seat. Mr Vishwas often fondly reminisced how key decisions over the formation of the party took place at his residence in Ghaziabad."But the leadership has apprehensions about that.

With its brute majority in the 67-member Delhi Legislative Assembly, AAP can send three people to the Upper House of Parliament.Mr Vishwas alleged that for the first time he was not among the speakers at the high-level meet. The Okhla legislator was included on crucial panels of the Delhi Legislative Assembly and Mr Kejriwal attended an iftar party organised by Khan, which was seen as a clear snub to Mr Vishwas..Mr Vishwas, who fought — and lost to — Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi in Amethi in the 2014 Lok Sabha polls, has been upset with the China bathroom waterproof panel Manufacturers leadership for some time now.As AAP turns five this month, it seems unlikely that the trio will ever be a cohesive group again.A section of AAP close to Mr Vishwas believed the rift had been caused by a "coterie” around Mr Kejriwal which, they claimed, was against Mr Vishwas, in charge of the Rajasthan unit of the party.

The Kejriwal camp had its share of grievances against Mr Vishwas, whom they disparagingly referred to as a "part-time politician” because of his professional commitments as a poet. Mr Vishwas sees himself as a strong contender for one of the seats.Sources from the two camps believed the strain in the friendship has hit a nadir. Among them were three close friends — Arvind Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia and Kumar Vishwas.AAP Rajasthan head believes he has been overlooked by top brass

The FBI and the oversight committee

Mr Trump fired Mr Comey on May 9, amid questions about the FBI’s investigation, which is now being overseen by special counsel Robert Mueller, a former FBI director."Mr Kushner previously volunteered to share with Congress what he China insulation boards Suppliers knows about these meetings. That does not mean they suspect him of a crime or intend to charge him.


After NBC News and the Washington Post reported that the FBI’s ongoing investigation includes a look at Mr Kushner’s meetings with Russian officials in December, a move that would not only place the probe inside the White House, but on the cusp of the Trump family circle, Mr Kushner’s attorney said that he was willing to cooperate with federal investigators.Mr Kushner, a key White House adviser, had meetings late last year with Russia’s ambassador to the US, Sergey Kislyak, and Russian banker Sergey Gorkov. 

He will do the same if he is contacted in connection with any other inquiry,” the statement said.Investigators believe Kushner has significant information relevant to their inquiry, officials said.

The toll operator would also have to install solar panels on the sea

According to officials, one of the reasons why many bidders are not interested in bidding for BWSL is that it is not seeing any increase in traffic.The MSRDC fear that since only one company has bided for the project, it should create competition to avoid any controversy over benefiting any one particular bidder. The second time, the bidder MEP Ltd had qualified in the bid and the financial bid was being evaluated.. MEP has been collecting toll on the 5.6-km BWSL on a weekly basis ever since it was opened to traffic in 2009. Interestingly, three years ago MSRDC had received only one bidder, the MEP, who was later given the contract.Currently, MSRDC earns about Rs 1.50 crore per week through the sea link that sees a traffic of about 45,000 xps underlay Manufacturers vehicles everyday."We have floated tenders twice already. 


 Mumbai: After having failed twice to generate competitive bidding for securitisation of toll collection at Bandra Worli Sea Link (BWSL), the Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC) has invited bidders for a third time, fearing ire from the central vigilance commission (CVC) over lack of bidders. Advance payment could be the reason for lack of bidders for the sea link toll collection. The MSRDC has also demanded an upfront amount of `380 crore against the tolling rights for BWSL. 

The toll operator would also have to install solar panels on the sea link that is aimed to bring down the expenditure on electricity consumption and also pave way for green energy.According to officials, one of the reasons why many bidders are not interested in bidding for BWSL is that it is not seeing any increase in traffic. However, it was later decided that in order to not have any queries or issues from the CVC, a third call should be made to get competitors,” said an MSRDC official not wishing to be named
