The Comfort Of The Canal Boats
Our next stop was Kooijman Souvenirs and Clogs, a wooden shoe workshop where
clogs are made and Justin Kooijman took us through the entire process. Kasteel
de Haar and gardensA Dutch holiday without a castle is not a holiday at all.
There are about eight to 10 windmills within walking distance to each other, a
few in use even today. The art of making clogs is demonstrated — how an old
ordinary block of wood transforms into a wooden clog, a way of life in these
parts.
A walk through that age-old estate on a cold windy morning is an
experience of a lifetime. Yes! Inside a windmill — an experience that attracts
1,30,000 visitors a year. Such is the beauty of the city with its enigmatic
skylines, art, food and bar scenes. The castle takes you back to the times of
luxury and how the Van Zuylen family lived and treated their guests in the early
20th century. Another intriguing sight was this collection of haphazardly joined
cube houses. It was time for some cheese tasting too, along with wine at Henri
Willig, a maker of Dutch cheese, most well-known for Baby Gouda. The Netherlands
is the bicycle capital of the world and has the highest bicycle density. A
favourite of ours electric
cargo bikes Factory was Escher IN HET PALEIS or The Escher Museum at the
Hague.
Introduced to his work rather strangely, thanks an inclination to The Red
Hot Chilli Peppers, and the song Otherside, we were introduced to cubism. Over
centuries, there are more than 1,000, (most in industrial mills), making Zaan
district Europe’s largest industrial area. The millieu sit busy in conversation
at cafes, and a loud honk, breaks your reverie as you are greeted with the much
used tram. Luckily, the weather was also kind, and the sun shone brightly.
Rotterdam Rotterdam is different, and reflects the country’s vision of itself in
the modern or post-modern era. What’s most worthy is how Rotterdam stood up
after being almost razed to the ground by WWII bombers. The best way to enjoy
these canals is from the comfort of the canal boats, marvelling at the extensive
canal system. The best of sights were at the very beginning! Landgoed Duin and
Kruidberg is a classic country house with the most beautiful views opening to an
English estate garden which embraces age-old trees, lush ponds and magnificent
lakes of the Zuid-Kennemerland National Park. In no country is the selection
this varied. What drew us was the street art, a dominant part of the culture.
Goat, sheep and organic cheese made from recipes passed down through
generations. Markthal Rotterdam (a marketplace) gives you a peek into public
art. So, hop on and enjoy the beautiful surroundings as the Vecht meanders
gently. Enticed, we stood in awe as the sight brought fairy tales alive, and we
went back to being eight-year-olds, amazed. Kasteel de Haar, the largest and the
most luxurious castle in Holland, is located outside Utrecht, a half-hour drive
from Amsterdam. Many natives believe that the Dutch are born on two wheels.
Their love for cheese is so deeply entrenched in their cuisine. A perfect blend
of what a new age city dipped in modernism and development should be like. The
Dutch see winters as intrinsic to their life. Boat Cruise: Experience the Vecht
in a saloon boatThe Utrecht canals with their characteristic wharves are unique
in the world. Something we can learn from. Finally, amidst chaos, we were
finally led into an ancient windmill and its intricate functioning.

mechanical and electronics department, spent several months on research,
development, designing manufacturing, testing and validation of the vehicle. The
students ranked first place in India in the ‘Electric Vehicle category’ in the
Formula Bharat 2020 with their vehicle Artemis at an Engineering Design
Competition held at Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu recently. This motivated us to work
even harder towards this victory,†expresses Shah. We can surely implement a lot
of it in our team,†says Shah and adds that participating in such competitions
help students learn teamwork, organizational and marketing skills, along with
managing working under stress and deadlines.
Working tirelessly on the car and
putting all the efforts on those four wheels, the students, at the competition,
realised that 75 other teams have come their with their cars. It is a chance to
learn beyond the confines of the classroom and compete against some good
universities across the country.†says Shanay Shah, student team leader of the
participating team, who was China mid drive electric bike

well as the performance of the vehicle created by the students..The electric
vehicle formulated by the students has a custom-made battery management system,
which was designed and manufactured by the students from the scratch. "It was
amazing exposure to know how other teams function. The accumulator was made of
112 cells summing up to 470V,†reveals the faculty advisor Manoj Patil.
The
motor vehicle also has a high power to weight ratio due to imported motor and
cells.Whether it is representing India on an international forum or winning the
entry into Olympiads, Mumbai students have always aimed to achieve
success.Formula Bharat 2020 is an engineering design competition where students
design, manufacture, test and validate a single-seater open-wheel formula-style

Competition For Electric SUVs
But last week, Tesla reversed course and said it would leave many stores open
and raised prices back by about Pedal
assist electric scooter manufacturers 3 percent.In October, Musk said
"significant progress†had been made on the Model Y and that he had approved the
prototype for production in 2020... Tesla would "most likely†build the Model Y
at Tesla’s battery factory in Nevada, he said at the time.Tesla has enjoyed
little competition thus far for its sedans, but competition for electric SUVs is
heating up as Tesla tries to master a new set of economics from the luxury line
that made its reputation.
That plan - later scrapped - ushered in a period of
turmoil at the company, from Musk’s public battles with regulators, a flurry of
securities lawsuits, cost cutting and layoffs.Chief Executive Elon Musk said the
compact SUV, built on the same platform as the Model 3, would first debut in a
long-range version with a range of 300 miles (482 km) priced at 47,000. thanks
to their capacity to invest and their robust record in product management.Musk
unveiled the vehicle at a short 40-minute event at Tesla's design studio in
Hawthorne, outside Los Angeles, that was streamed live online.Tesla Inc unveiled
its Model Y electric sports utility vehicle on Thursday evening in California,
promising a much-awaited crossover that will face competition from European car
makers rolling out their own electric rivals..A standard version, to be
available sometime in 2021, would cost 39,000, with a 230-mile range.
The risk is
"quite low†Musk told analysts in January. Suppliers were originally told
production would start in November 2019, sources told Reuters last year."Twelve
months from now we will have made about 1 million vehicles,†Musk said at the
event, without specifying the breakdown of models.On Thursday, ratings company
Fitch warned that, despite Tesla’s early lead, "incumbent carmakers have the
ability to catch up . In January, he said Tesla had ordered the tooling needed
to build the car.Each of Tesla’s vehicles, from the Roadster to the latest Semi,
were driven onstage before the blue Model Y appeared.Small SUVs are the
fastest-growing segment in the United States and China, the world’s largest auto
market, where Tesla is building a factory, making the Model Y well positioned to
tap demand.Shares of Tesla are down 24 percent from an August high of 379.57,
when Musk tweeted that he was taking Tesla private.â€LOWER COST, LOWER
RISKTesla’s targeted volume production date of late 2020 for the Model Y would
put it behind electric SUV offerings from Volkswagen AG’s Audi, Daimler AG’s
Mercedes-Benz and BMW.
Tesla, two weeks ago, said it would close most stores and
use savings to cut the price of most cars by 6 percent.Still, the Model Y, like
all Tesla models, has already seen pre-production delays. Musk gave no new
details about where the Model Y would be produced at Thursday’s event.After the
event, Tesla’s website included a page to "design and order†the more expensive,
long range version of the vehicle with rear-wheel drive, available next year.
The vehicles can be configured to include 7 seats for an additional 3,000.Musk
has promised an easier production ramp of the Model Y as it shares about
three-quarters of its parts with the Model 3 and would need only half the
capital expenditures of the sedan. Ordering the car requires a 2,500 refundable
deposit.
