 The M.A. Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai is set to host a pivotal Group A match that is about much more than just a scoreboard. The Dutch Strategy: Logan van Beek has highlighted that the Netherlands’ success is built on fluidity. In a tournament defined by travel and shifting conditions, the Dutch are focusing on the "night game" factor in India, where evening dew could turn the game into a seamer's paradise or a spinner's nightmare. ​ The USA's Fight for Respect: On the other side, Shayan Jahangir has used the platform to highlight the systemic struggles of Associate nations.

  The tech world is currently reeling from what investors are calling the "SaaSpocalypse." On January 30, 2026, Anthropic released 11 open-source plugins for its workplace suite, Claude Cowork , transforming AI from a helpful chatbot into an autonomous "digital colleague." This move didn't just impress tech enthusiasts—it triggered a massive global market sell-off, erasing nearly $285 billion in market capitalization in mere days. ​ What Triggered the Panic? ​The "spook" came from the realization that AI is moving from assisting humans to replacing entire workflows. Claude’s new plugins can autonomously read files, draft legal documents, review contracts, and manage multi-step financial workflows with minimal human intervention. ​When Goldman Sachs revealed it was using Claude for trade accounting and client onboarding, investors realized that the traditional "per-seat" software model—and the manual labor behind it—was under immediat...

This shared love for film has now been f...

  Cable Size Calculation 1. Basic Formula (3 Phase Load) Current (A)=Power (kw) * 1000/( sqrt 3 * Voltage* PF* Efficiency) 2. Example - Motor Cable Size → Given Motor Power = 7.5kW Voltage = 415V Power Factor = 0.8 Efficiency =0.9 3. Step 1: Calculate Current Current = 7500 /(1.732 * 415 * 0.8 * 0.9) → Current = 14A - 15A → Current = 14-15 A 3. Select Cable Size (Copper) Current (A) Copper Cable Size → For 15 A motor → 2.5 sqmm Cu cable Up to 10 A-1.5 sqmm Up to 16 A-2.5 sqmm Up to 25 A+4 sq mm 4.

 India’s dependence on Russian crude oil declined sharply in December 2025, with imports touching their lowest level in nearly three years. Official trade data shows that India bought about $2.7 billion worth of oil from Russia, marking a 38-month low. Russia’s contribution to India’s total crude imports also fell significantly — from 34% in November to around 25% in December. At the same time, oil shipments from the United States increased compared to last year, highlighting a gradual shift in India’s energy sourcing strategy. Recently, U.S. President Donald Trump suggested that India could reduce or even halt Russian oil purchases in exchange for lower American tariffs on Indian goods. However, New Delhi has not confirmed such a deal. Instead, officials say India is simply diversifying suppliers based on market prices and global conditions. Compared with December last year, imports from Russia dropped by 15%, and they were down more than 27% from November levels. In quantity term...
