Travis Head on Monday backed Virat Kohli to «have his moments in the series» as the Indian superstar continued to dominate talks in the run-up to the five-Test Border-Gavaskar Trophy, starting here on Friday. Kohli's ordinary returns with the bat this year in Test cricket notwithstanding, the 36-year-old has been the cynosure of all eyes since the Indian team landed in Australia last week. Head threw his support behind the Indian batting mainstay, who managed a mere 93 runs across three Tests against New Zealand at a forgettable average of 15.50 in his last assignment at home just before the tour of Australia. «No doubt, we will go through all their players, cannot wait to start well against them. Virat's going to have his moments in this series, hopefully not too many of them,» Head told the media at the Optus Stadium after Australia's training session.

At my most recent massage I reached no such moment. For one thing, the therapist never got to my hands. For another, it was a robot. Getting a massage from a robot, it turns out, is more fun than relaxing—at least at first—and it’s a little more practical than pampering. But if the whole thing sounds like science fiction, it’s not: The 30-minute service is now bookable for $75 at the Lotte New York Palace hotel, the first hospitality partner for automated wellness brand Aescape. Aescape is the brainchild of serial entrepreneur Eric Litman, whose foray into robotics has been roughly seven years in the making. He tells Bloomberg that he’ll ship 200 massage robots to hotels and gyms by the end of the year—including at least 10 Equinox locations—with a plan to further ramp up production in 2025. His vision: To disrupt a slice of the global wellness industry, valued at $5.6 trillion in November 2023, with on-demand services and automation. “We are the first commercial example that we know of where robots are directly coming in contact with human bodies, in a fully autonomous way,” Litman says. He likens the experience to riding in a self-driving car. “You get in one for the first time, and you might be a little bit trepidatious watching the steering wheel move by itself,” he says. “But then you realize it’s just like a steady, safe driver. After your second or third time you just sort of forget it’s a self-driving vehicle.”

Consumer Technology Association CEO Gary Shapiro discusses how tariffs impact the prices of laptops on The Claman Countdown.

«So, pretty steep price hike that is required to sort of restore the margins to what they were, let us say, from an FY24 benchmark perspective,» says Probal Sen, ICICI Securities. Firstly, this is the second cut that we have seen when it comes to the APM gas allocation. So, cumulatively, how much has been the APM gas allocation reduced for the city gas distribution companies? And to mitigate this impact, what is the kind of price hike that they need to take now? Probal Sen: So, a couple of quarters ago, the blended allocation, as you would know the cut has primarily come in the CNG segment, so the domestic PNG segment still continues to get close to what is required to supply from what our understanding is.

Ajay Srivastava, CEO, Dimensions Corporate, says, three segments – appliances, hotels, aviation – will directly see improved consumption. I am not sure capex companies are going to see a major uplift for the simple reason that government spending has to kick in and that is where the bigger problem lies. The government is not spending money for the right reasons like fiscal deficit, etc, So, capex companies will have a little longer winter than the consumer companies. It has been a tumultuous market. Nobody expected the US market to bounce back the way it did. Nobody expected Indian markets to correct the way it has. Where are we headed? Will the entire grind continue? Are we in for a long winter? Ajay Srivastava: Oh, no, not at all. Let us be honest. At the end of the day, when the market goes up, the whole world says it will keep going up. When it starts to go down, the theory is everyone says, you know what, underperformance continues, we will do badly and so on. We got caught and it is strange that people never thought that September would be a bad month in the economic cycle of India, given elections were just finished and the consumption cycle would change from October because that is the festive season. It will reverse itself. You will find earning surprises for this quarter.

Arif Naseem Khan has said there are many chief ministerial faces in the Maha Vikas Aghadi and the alliance will taken a decision on it after the election results are announced. In an interview to PTI, the former four-term MLA Khan also claimed the Mahayuti government's flagship Ladki Bahin scheme for women will not be a game changer as people in the state know the «real face» of the BJP and Chief Minister Eknath Shinde. He asserted the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) was united and set to defeat the BJP-led Mahayuti government, which he claimed has turned immensely unpopular. The state assembly polls are scheduled on November 20 and votes will be counted on November 23.

Carl Benz might have invented the automobile, but it’s the United States that got us to drive them. The relentless export of American cars and car culture put the world on the road in the 20th century. By the 1960s, Ford Motor Co. had plants in almost every major European country, as well as Argentina, Brazil, Egypt, India, Israel, Peru, Pakistan, South Africa, Turkey, and Zimbabwe. Right now, it’s passing that baton to China with barely a fight. The US car industry that emerges will be smaller, less influential — and, eventually, less profitable and financially sustainable.
