Silicon Valley Auto Show : Error 401

http://www.svautoshow.com/exhibitors/exhibitors.html

We have taken over the auto show and it is ours but it is in place of this auto show that they cancel and they have no intention of holding an auto show everyone is bored out there doing nothing this gives them something to do and we have a list of exhibitors on our website but we have taken this over in essence we have decided to do it instead of the silicon valley Auto dealers association and there's only five auto dealers and none of them are really famous hours are huge here is a few examples

Ford

Chevrolet

Dodge

Chrysler

Jeep

Mercedes

Saab

Renault

Audi

Sim

Symm

Daewoo

Kia our version only

Toyota

Nissan

Mitsubishi

Rolls-Royce our version

Juniors for practically all supercars

Light cars including the original model we still sell the new model with the chunk frame and body which is all integral and the on off-road version

Light cycles from the s y m m everyday life cycle to the fastest highest tech light cycle for road use

Special vehicles including transformers some fly cycles some fly cars certain semi trucks and pick up trucks and dump trucks to a limited degree only about two or three each and plenty of supercars it's going to be a super car heaven and some knockoffs but mostly our brands and they are extremely fast we're going to have super cars that go up to 400 mph and those would be our version of the lotus smaller car and other such things as the BMW and then up to about 1200 miles per hour all of them are with engines every fly car and fly cycle there is with an engine it's not going to be a turbine or 0 fuel however we intend to have one zero fuel car present and we think that it probably should be in a light car light cycle car in other words for saying it's very top edge cutting edge years away from releasing and we're going to have his battery operated rechargeable car the charges while you drive it they sell but not that great and we'll have a few of them and that's it for the electric car we don't put the battery ones out anymore and it's not a hybrid we don't run the hybrids I don't like them it's an idiot idea but it's redundant but it's asinine it doesn't even charge the thing but it could probably sell like crazy but we're thinking about it my son says we should put a couple prototypes there and we shall we have them we did sell them and they didn't sell to great they tried to explain they charges while you drive and they thought it would take too much energy and then he explained it on the Tesla he designed a braking system that charges it while you drive and they didn't get it so we're going to explain that the draw is not even noticeable in any way it wouldn't be it's as much as your alternator spinning on your car and you don't notice that in any way there's no drain. It's because the alternator is larger and the extra power is stored or is transferred somewhere else no it just runs in the loop and it's all designed to do it it's a wonderful design you charge One battery on the battery only with the charger and then while you're charging it the other ones running and then you switch back and tells you how much you have left just like a fuel gauge with the hybrid you're running along on gas and you're charging One battery and if you were running out of gas you'll switch the battery and go get some gas that's the nature of redundancy

There will be other attractions there several of our beer companies will be putting on beer parties especially Michelob they put on huge parties and the former main owner it has come up to a whole bunch of things for the auto show and we will have your ladies there to introduce the cars the inside during the car show contest their contest. And our son enters all the time he wins tons of stuff and we can't help it but it's kind of interesting to see cuz people don't know it's him it doesn't look exactly like him some people are going to be there and they say it we'll have food and beverages and alcoholic beverages and we'll have the permits and people want to see our technology and I want to see who we are and put one and one together we do have a headquarters as well you're welcome to visit it's an Australia it's a huge campus we put all the prototypes there and then they're the first ones and we put the story of how it came about and some of them are quite long and old the life cycle is amazing he came up with most of it he's still amazing you're horrible none of you have any kind of lives it's mostly Bullock that are worse than everyone they're Harley guys who want to see my Harley just to see what he'd ride it like and they still have no idea because he can't get one a ride won't even it's a horrible horrible life you retarded people are very simple don't you even want to see what he looks like on one like superimpose them on there and then compare it to the real thing maybe huh was selling tickets to this car show is there so many people that want to go it's impossible for everyone to go and basically the tickets will be bought by higher-ups cuz they want to go to it.

Going to have several personalities there and they're going to be telling jokes and signing things and several of our racing car drivers including my son's character and my daughter's character Zeus and Hera and many of us Ariana they raise enduada they race vehicles and they're the sakowski Brothers the twins from The matrix and I race and my character is from Harry Potter and my goddess wife her character is from Harry Potter just one of the women with a big humongous butt cuz she's shrinking down we're in and out of the film and my butt's huge.

From BRM to Supermarine Spitfire: celebrate British legends at Classic Nostalgia

- New P15 V16 will lead tribute to BRM’s 1962 F1 World Championship - Owen family set to showcase a collection of more than 20 historic BRMs - Special guests include BRM aces Richard Attwood, Howden Ganley and Mike Wilds - Flypast by the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight on Saturday and Sunday - Legendary ERA R4D will return to Shelsley Walsh - Plus live music, family entertainment, C&SC concours and more!

With less than 3 weeks to go until this year’s Classic Nostalgia weekend, organisers have announced more details of what is sure to be an unforgettable weekend at Shelsley Walsh.

The flagship event returns to the famous Worcestershire hill climb on 16-17 July, and will feature a major celebration of BRM’s victory in the 1962 Formula 1 World Championship. Secured by Graham Hill’s win in the season-ending South African Grand Prix, it was the first time that a British driver had won the Championship in an all-British car, and no fewer than 20 BRMs and BRM-engined cars will be at Shelsley Walsh in order to mark the historic occasion. Eight of those will take part in parades up the hill, led by the first of the continuation P15s. The sound of its 1.5-litre V16 engine reverberating around the Teme Valley is sure to be a highlight. Also confirmed for Classic Nostalgia are the National Motor Museum’s original P15 V16 Mark I, plus the ground-breaking Rover-BRM gas-turbine car that competed in the Le Mans 24 Hours in 1963 and 1965. They will be joined by an ex-Graham Hill P48 that enjoyed considerable success at Shelsley Walsh in the hands of six-times British Hillclimb Champion Tony Marsh. On 27 August 1961, Marsh drove this very car – chassis number 48/4 – to a new hill record of 34.41 seconds. There will also be an example of BRM’s final front-engined Grand Prix car – the handsome P25 – plus a Cooper-BRM Formula 2 car and the Willment-BRM sports-racer. One of the extremely rare BRM-tuned Lotus Elan road cars – brainchild of Formula One ace Mike Spence – will be at Classic Nostalgia too, as will a Hillman Avenger BRM rally car and the monstrous P154 which raced in the Can-Am series by Mexican ace Pedro Rodriguez. Special guests will include members of the Owen family, which backed BRM via the industrial might of Rubery Owen, plus former drivers Howden Ganley, Richard Attwood and Mike Wilds. Team members Dick Salmon – who worked with the likes of Juan Manuel Fangio, Mike Hawthorn and Graham Hill during his long BRM career – John Sismey and Ben Casey will also be at Shelsley Walsh. Celebrating BRM A blue plaque will be unveiled on Sunday 17 July to honour BRM’s historic success, and will be a permanent feature directly beneath a similar plaque celebrating the achievements of Raymond Mays. Having founded ERA during the 1930s, patriotic racer Mays went on to establish BRM following World War Two – and the most famous of his ERAs will be returning to its spiritual home. R4D has a special place in the affections of enthusiasts, and in Shelsley history. It was effectively a works development car and was built in 1935 as R4B, before being upgraded to a C-type specification a year later. It finally became R4D when a lighter chassis was introduced for 1938. Mays extensively campaigned R4D either side of the war, and it set Best Time of the Day at Shelsley 16 times between 1935 and 1956. It will return for Classic Nostalgia with Ben Fidler behind the wheel. Battle of Britain Memorial Flypast Everyone’s attention will turn to the skies above Shelsley Walsh as the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight stages an evocative flypast on both days of the Classic Nostalgia weekend. On Saturday, its fabulous Avro Lancaster will be rumbling overhead and treating visitors to the unmistakeable noise of its four Rolls-Royce Merlin engines, and it will be followed on Sunday by the iconic Supermarine Spitfire. The Battle of Britain Memorial Flight has as its motto ‘Lest We Forget’, and its mission is not only to commemorate those who have fallen in service of their country, but also to inspire and educate future generations Great cars, famous names Back at ground level, Ian Barkaway will take to Shelsley Walsh aboard the Metro 6R4 that was driven by the late, great Colin McRae on the 2006 Donegal International Rally. Barkaway will be giving competition prize winners a blast up the hill in the V6-engined pocket-rocket – raffle tickets cost just £2 each and are available to purchase from the Midlands Air Ambulance stand. The raffle will be drawn each day at 3pm, and all proceeds will be donated to the Midlands Air Ambulance. Gregor Marshall – son of tin-top legend Gerry – will be taking part in a special parade featuring several notable cars from his father’s long career. Gregor will take to the hill in the Austin Cooper S that won its class in the 1965 Snetterton 500km, alongside a Group 1 Vauxhall Magnum and the fearsome Magnum Super Saloon known as the John Pope Special, which is fitted with a twin-turbocharged Aston Martin V8 engine! Ralli22 will be returning to Shelsley Walsh with a selection of Group A, Group B and WRC machinery, while triple Motoring News, BTRDA and Welsh Championship-winning rally driver Mick Briant will be reunited with his 1969 Ford Escort Twin Cam. The all-new Ecurie Ecosse LM-C will make its Classic Nostalgia debut, where chassis number EE001 can be seen in action for the first time with Mike Wilds behind the wheel. Visitors will also be able to see two cars owned by record-breaking legend Donald Campbell – his 1958 Jaguar XK 150 and a 1934 Derby Bentley – and the prototype Surtees TS15 Formula 2 car will be driven by Ian Skinner, who was a mechanic for John Surtees for more than 35 years. Stephen Hepworth will demonstrate the four-wheel-drive Hepworth FF, more than half a century after his father David became the first driver to break the 30-second barrier at Shelsley Walsh, and an ex-Elio de Angelis 1979 Shadow DN9B Formula 1 car will also be tackling the 1000-yard hill. Classic & Sports Car Concours d’Elegance On Sunday, the popular Classic & Sports Car Concours d’Elegance will return to Classic Nostalgia. It is open to all cars built before 1985, and the judging will be headed up by motoring journalist and regular Shelsley Walsh competitor Simon Taylor. He will be joined by John Mayhead, classic car valuations expert from event partner Hagerty, plus Alastair Clements, editor of Classic & Sports Car magazine. Entries are welcome from any concours-worthy car, with priority given to those with significant provenance and rarity. There will be four classes to be judged: Pre-World War Two, 1949-1959, 1960-1985 Saloons, and 1960-1985 Sports/GT, plus a Spirit of the Day award for an entry that may not be in top concours condition but is outstanding in its own special way. First, second and third in each class will get to parade up the hill. The overall winner receives a silver salver on the start line, a Classic & Sports Car magazine subscription, and is invited to display their car on the Midland Automobile Club’s stand at the Lancaster Insurance Classic Motor Show, NEC Birmingham in November. Advance booking recommended to guarantee a place in the Concours. For more information, click here Enter your pre-1985 classic There will be preferential ‘pole position’ parking for all pre-1985 vehicles – allowing owners to pre-book a place right at the heart of the event. For more information, click here Car clubs Classic Nostalgia has become a firm favourite for car club gatherings, and this year more than 30 clubs have registered their attendance. Several will be commemorating significant anniversaries within their display areas, including Club Alpine Renault, which will be marking the centenary of Alpine founder Jean Rédélé. The MGB Register, meanwhile, will celebrate the 60th anniversary of the MGB. All registered clubs get to have their own designated display area in the heart of the event, and trophies are awarded for Best Car Club Stand. For more car club information, click here Who doesn’t love a party? Get your dancing shoes on for a party in the Courtyard with live bands throughout the weekend – from swing, rock ’n’ roll, rhythm and blues, and Motown to a Beatles tribute act! Something not to be missed is the Ken Fox Wall of Death stunt show, which will be making its Shelsley Walsh debut. As seen on Channel 4 with Guy Martin, the Fox family have been touring and entertaining since the 1920s with their Wall of Death. The riders perform incredible stunts and acrobatics around the 20ft vertical wall on their vintage Indian Scouts. The noise, the speed, the smell and the proximity of the bikes to the top of the wall – barely six inches from the audience – is breath-taking. Trade stands In addition, there will be a fashion competition for the best and most authentic vintage outfit, as sponsored by Piston Gin, and trade stands selling everything from clothing and accessories to motoring books, art, photography and memorabilia.

The God Mine (Part 1)

THE GOD MINE

The bones of god-beasts, even aeons dead, still remember their own potency. A useful material for mage-craft and industry.

The smell of effluvia marks this place. The music of picks. A great open pit. Damaged, silent men clamber over each other, worms in a wound in the earth.

Judges vote for the Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR ‘722’ in first place, followed by Lancia concept car and Le Mans-winning Porsche

The inaugural Concours Virtual, presented by Hagerty and in aid of UNICEF, has announced its winning cars in the Best of Show, the People’s Choice and the Special Awards categories.

Best in Show went to the famous Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR ‘722’ racing car that Stirling Moss, with Denis ‘Jenks’ Jenkinson as co-driver, drove to victory in the 1000-mile 1955 Mille Miglia road race around Italy – a win that is often referred to as the greatest ever single day’s drive in motor sport history. They finished in ten hours, 7 minutes and 48 seconds, averaging 99mph. The car is owned by the Mercedes-Benz Museum in Germany.

In second place was the outrageous 1970 Lancia Stratos HF Zero, created by Bertone and revealed at the 1970 Turin motor show. This is a rarity, in that it’s a fully working concept car, and indeed the owner drives it around, entering the cockpit by lifting the windscreen to step into the futuristic cockpit. This car is owned by a private collector in the USA.

In third place is the 1970 Porsche 917K Salzburg car, as driven to victory by Richard Attwood and Hans Herrmann in the 1970 Le Mans 24 Hours. This was a hugely-significant result, being the first ever overall win at Le Mans for Porsche – which went on to win a further 17 Le Mans to date. This car is owned by a private collector in the UK.

There were 245 cars entered into the concours, in 18 separate classes, ranging from pre-war preservation to 1980s supercars. A panel of expert judges was assigned to each class, to arrive at a Best of Class, and then these cars went through to the final round of judging.

The team of more than 40 judges included rock legend Nick Mason from Pink Floyd, Olympic cyclist and UNICEF ambassador Sir Chris Hoy, five-times Le Mans winner Derek Bell, Chasing Classic Cars TV star Wayne Carini, Goodwood’s The Duke of Richmond, Andrea Zagato of the famous design house, Hagerty CEO McKeel Hagerty, classic dealer Gregor Fisken, racer Lyn St James and Pebble Beach concours chairman Sandra Button.

Each class was also open to a People’s Choice award, which went through to a People’s Choice Best of Show. The car that won was the amazing 1948 Talbot Lago T26 Grand Sport by Figoni & Falaschi – a unique car built for zip manufacturer Mr Fayolle, often referred to as ‘the Zipper King’. The car features a chrome ‘zip’ above the central cyclops headlight.

There were also several special awards, presented by partners and sponsors of the Concours Virtual. The full list of winners is included below.

Concours Virtual has already raised more than £30,000 for the Unicef pandemic appeal, to help children affected by the COVID-19 crisis – and the donations are still coming in.

Lady Susie Moss, wife of Sir Stirling who died in April aged 90, said of the Best in Show award, “The 722 Mercedes was Stirling’s favourite car and mine as well. Stirling and I drove the car at events all over the world and I am delighted that it has won.

“It holds a special place in my heart, and it did in his. He would have been delighted that his favourite car has ‘won’ once again. Especially as it has helped raise money for Unicef and will be used to help children who have been suffering due to the pandemic.”

Sir Chris Hoy said: “It’s been a pleasure to be a part of the Concours. I’m an ambassador for UNICEF, so it’s a nice marriage of my passion for cars and my involvement with the charity.”

The Concours Virtual can be found at www.concoursvirtual.com and at www.facebook.com/concoursvirtual. As well as the 245 cars, there are also panel discussions on each class, on the top five cars and on the future of concours, all with world experts in their field.

About UNICEF’s Coronavirus Response Coronavirus is the biggest global crisis for children since World War Two and Unicef is appealing for £1.3 billion to tackle its impact on vital services for children. The outbreak threatens children already weakened by war, disease, hunger and poverty, whose very survival depends on health care, life-saving food, clean water and medical supplies. Unless we act now, more than one million children could die over the next six months due to the reduction of services – that’s a staggering 6000 children a day. Unicef is working to slow the spread of coronavirus, protect keyworkers and reduce its impact on children and families.

“This pandemic is the biggest and most urgent global crisis children have faced since World War Two,” said Unicef UK’s Executive Director Sacha Deshmukh. “Children’s lives are being upended across the globe – their support systems ripped away, their borders closed, their educations lost, their food supply cut off. Even in the UK, children face the threat of a measles outbreak and school closures are putting vulnerable children at increased risk.”

Oil Companies Are Collapsing Due to Coronavirus, but Wind and Solar Energy Keep Growing

A few years ago, the kind of double-digit drop in oil and gas prices the world is experiencing now because of the coronavirus pandemic might have increased the use of fossil fuels and hurt renewable energy sources like wind and solar farms.That is not happening.In fact, renewable energy sources are set to account for nearly 21 percent of the electricity the United States uses for the first time this year, up from about 18 percent last year and 10 percent in 2010, according to one forecast published last week. And while work on some solar and wind projects has been delayed by the outbreak, industry executives and analysts expect the renewable business to continue growing in 2020 and next year even as oil, gas and coal companies struggle financially or seek bankruptcy protection.In many parts of the world, including California and Texas, wind turbines and solar panels now produce electricity more cheaply than natural gas and coal. That has made them attractive to electric utilities and investors alike. It also helps that while oil prices have been more than halved since the pandemic forced most state governments to order people to stay home, natural gas and coal prices have not dropped nearly as much.Even the decline in electricity use in recent weeks as businesses halted operations could help renewables, according to analysts at Raymond James & Associates. That’s because utilities, as revenue suffers, will try to get more electricity from wind and solar farms, which cost little to operate, and less from power plants fueled by fossil fuels.“Renewables are on a growth trajectory today that I think isn’t going to be set back long term,” said Dan Reicher, the founding executive director of the Steyer-Taylor Center for Energy Policy and Finance at Stanford University and an assistant energy secretary in the Clinton administration. “This will be a bump in the road.”Of course, the economic slowdown caused by the fight against the coronavirus is taking a toll on parts of the renewable energy industry just as it is on the rest of the economy. Businesses that until recently were adding workers are laying people off and putting off investments. Among the hardest hit are smaller companies that sell solar panels for rooftops. Their orders have dropped steeply as customers put off installations to avoid possible contact with the virus.Luminalt, a solar and electricity storage company based in San Francisco that employs 42 people, recently told most of its installers to seek unemployment benefits as the company’s residential jobs — normally six a week — have all but evaporated. Jeanine Cotter, Luminalt’s chief executive, told workers that the company would cover their benefits but that there was no money coming in to pay all of them.A half-dozen employees are installing solar at an affordable-housing project that has kept them working, and some who handle business operations are working from home. But Ms. Cotter worries about some installers who joined the company through San Francisco’s work force development program and depend on weekly paychecks to make ends meet.“Revenue has stopped,” said Ms. Cotter, who helped found the business 15 years ago. “It’s very confusing right now.”The Solar Energy Industries Association, a trade group, estimates that half of the 250,000 workers in the industry could lose their jobs at least temporarily because of the coronavirus outbreak. The association has downgraded projected growth by as much as one-third of the more than 19 gigawatts of new solar capacity that was expected this year.But independent experts, including Wood Mackenzie, an energy research and consulting firm, say those projections could be overly pessimistic. “It’s still too early to call,” Ravi Manghani, head of solar at research at Wood Mackenzie. “The situation is changing on a daily basis.”His firm estimates that solar and wind power will continue adding capacity this year and next. New wind installations might be down only about 3 percent from earlier projections, largely because wind turbines are typically erected outside urban areas, and many states have deemed construction an essential activity during the pandemic.In a report last week, Raymond James analysts estimated that renewable energy sources would provide 20.7 percent of the nation’s electricity this year and at least 20 percent through 2022.Although hydroelectric plants have long helped power homes and businesses, solar and wind power emerged as major energy sources only over the last 15 years or so. A sharp drop in the price of solar panels has helped the industry expand. Last year, solar capacity increased 23 percent from the year before. It added 13.3 gigawatts, exceeding new wind and natural-gas generation, according to industry data.“We blew through all of the projections,” said Caton Fenz, chief executive of ConnectGen, a wind, solar and electricity-storage developer based in Houston. “We’re surfing a long-term wave,” he said. “We just can’t get specific things done because of the pandemic, but I don’t think that affects the broader trajectory.”His company, which is 22 months old, has 3,000 megawatts — the equivalent of three large power plants — under development in 11 states. About 40 percent is wind projects, 40 percent solar and the rest electricity storage.Among the company’s backers is 547 Energy, an investment firm that specializes in renewable energy. Gabriel Alonso, who runs 547 Energy, said his firm received its funding from Quantum Energy Partners, which had long been an investor in oil and natural gas.“As an investor in clean energy, renewable energy, the fundamentals that drove us to invest have not changed,” Mr. Alonso said.Even as the pandemic spread, Mr. Alonso’s company won a bid last week for part of a new electricity project in Greece. His company will develop a wind farm in the northern regions of Imathia and Kozani. The auction, on Thursday, was part of a larger effort by Greece to retire fossil fuel plants and replace them with renewables.Many renewable companies have projects around the world and have benefited from government efforts to address climate change. That has helped drive down costs of wind and solar equipment and made the industry more resilient to economic swings.In addition, because developers can build wind and solar farms more quickly than natural-gas, coal and nuclear plants, Mr. Alonso said, the renewables have become more attractive financially. In difficult economic times like these, he said, private equity investors like Quantum are eager to seize on businesses that can quickly scale up and start earning money.That said, solar businesses in particular are worried that the disruptions caused by the pandemic are serious enough that they are seeking help from Congress. Lobbyists for renewable energy are asking lawmakers to make it easier for their industry to take advantage of tax credits the government provides for wind and solar power.Developers usually enter into partnerships with banks and other financial institutions that can more efficiently make use of the tax credits than the contractors building renewable energy projects. The banks receive the tax credit and a share of the cash flow from the project typically for six to 10 years.But because demand for loans has shot up as businesses across the economy struggle, banks have been less able to finance new projects, said Josh Goldstein, chief operating officer at 8minute Solar Energy, a developer of large solar farms. Solar and wind industry officials want Congress to streamline the process for obtaining tax credits and make the credits refundable so that their businesses could benefit directly.“Their credit committees are in crisis mode,” Mr. Goldstein said about banks. “This disruption can have a particularly damaging effect.”8minute Solar was recently forced to suspend work on the Lotus Solar Project, a 67-megawatt solar farm north of Fresno, Calif., that it is building for Allianz Global Investors. Officials said it was unclear whether the work, which employed about 50 people, was considered “essential.”But the Department of Homeland Security included electricity production on its list of essential activities last month, affirming legal advice that 8minute had received, and the company sent workers back to finish construction.The solar industry expected to add more panels in 2020 than in any other previous year, said Abigail Hopper, president of the Solar Energy Industries Association. That won’t happen now, but the industry is still poised to add capacity.“We believe, over the long run, we are well positioned to outcompete incumbent generators,” Ms. Hopper said.

Daily Current Affairs Dated On 21-Aug-2019

Daily Current Affairs Dated On 21-Aug-2019 GS-1 Punjab flood As Punjab grapples with floods, which Chief Minister Amarinder Singh termed as “unprecedented”, the blame is more on the rainfall in catchment area of Sutlej river in Himachal Pradesh, than on rain back home. Kanchan Vasdev explains why: Which are the districts that witnessed the fury of floods in Punjab this time?  Several villages in six districts including Patiala, Sangrur, Moga, Ropar, Jalandhar and Ferozepur were inundated.  Mostly the districts lining the Satluj river in Malwa and Doaba regions of the state were affected due to overflowing of river in some areas and breaches in the bandh on the river in others. Is heavy rain alone to be blamed for floods?  Punjab experienced just 5 per cent more rain than last year as of August 20. Last year the state had witnessed 343.2 cm rainfall while this year it has been 357.3 cm.  The districts that experienced heavy rainfall — between 15 to 20 cm — this year include Gurdaspur, Nawanshahar, Hoshiarpur, Jalandhar, Pathankot, Ludhiana, Patiala and Fatehgarh Sahib.  Rest of the districts experienced a moderate rainfall ranging between 4-8 cms.  Irrigation department says more than the rain in the state, it is the rainfall in the catchment area of Satluj river in Himachal Pradesh that was responsible for the floods. Daily Current Affairs Dated On 21-Aug-2019 How did the rain in Himachal Pradesh cause floods in Punjab?  Bhakra dam, built on Satluj, is filled to the brim a month before the reservoir’s filling season comes to an end. The dam’s filling season lasts till September 22.  But it crossed its permissible storage level of 1,680 feet on August 19 and reached 1,682 feet despite the Bhakra Beas Management Board (BBMB) opening the spillways by upto eight feet and releasing water in the Satluj river.  The swelling of Satluj due to opening of spillways caused floods.  The inflow in the reservoir was recorded at 1.30 lakh cusecs (cubic metres per second) on August 19.  The rain stopped in the catchment area on August 19 and the inflow has come down to 50,000 cusecs while the outflow through turbines and floodgates collectively amounted to a release of 76,000 cusecs. What is the carrying capacity of Satluj river?  Satluj can safely handle 2.5 lakh cusecs but can carry up to 4 lakh cusecs of water.  Irrigation experts say that opening of floodgates, coupled with silting of river, and poor maintenance of bandhs caused the breaches and overflowing of the river thereby leaving several parts inundated.  The heavy silting in the river was caused by the state not issuing contracts for mining in the entire last fiscal year.  Experts say the sand kept accumulating but it could not be mined thereby reducing the carrying capacity of the river.  Also, the enchroachments in the natural drains and channels are to be blamed for poor drainage. Is the threat over?  The IMD has forecast another spell of rain in catchment area on August 24, 25 and 26.  With water level in Bhakra dam already at its highest point of permissible level and inflow still continuing, the threat is still there.  The BBMB, in a meeting with three states including Punjab, Haryana and Rajasthan on Tuesday, decided to keep the level at 1680 feet by continuously releasing water through floodgates. Daily Current Affairs Dated On 21-Aug-2019  The BBMB had on its own reduced the permissible limit at 1680 feet, bringing it down by five feet from 1685 feet in 1988 when Punjab had experienced worst floods. GS-2 XDR TB Why in news? In a groundbreaking development recently, the United States Food and Drug Administration approved a three-drug regimen against the most lethal form of multi-drug-resistant tuberculosis, known as the XDR (extensively drug-resistant) strain. About XDR TB  Essentially, this strain of TB is resistant to some of the most potent anti-TB drugs, making it difficult for patients suffering from this strain to be cured.  A trial in the US, which enrolled 109 patients with the XDR strain, was able to cure 90 per cent of them.  Cases of XDR TB are much fewer than those of the other drug-resistant strain, MDR/RR TB, and have been reported from 117 countries until 2017, a World Health Organization (WHO) report said. Out of 10,800 cases worldwide, India accounted for 2,650 cases, or almost one-fourth.  As per WHO, two-thirds of cases of the XDR-strain are in China, India and Russia.  These countries also share 47 per cent of the burden for MDR/RR TB.  The average success rates for drugs to treat the XDR strain has been 34 percent globally. Risk of transmission  WHO explains that XDR can be contracted in two ways.  It may develop in a patient who is already receiving treatment for TB and misuses the anti-TB drugs, or it can be contracted from a person who already has the disease.  The risk of transmission for XDR remains the same as the risk of transmission of other strains of TB. Often, XDR TB may go undiagnosed since lower-middle-income countries lack the infrastructure to detect it.  Worldwide, TB has surpassed HIV-AIDS as the leading cause of death due to infectious diseases. Daily Current Affairs Dated On 21-Aug-2019  In 2017, over 13 lakh people died of the disease. Nicotine notified as poison: Why in news? To strengthen enforcement of the ban on production and sale of electronic cigarettes, the State government has amended the Karnataka Poisons (Possession and Sale) Rules 2015, notifying nictoine as Class A poison under the rules. Background  Highly toxic chemicals, which even in very small quantities as gas or vapour in the air are dangerous to life (such as cyanogen, hydrocyanic acid, nitrogen peroxide, and phosgene), are notified under Class A.  Electronic cigarettes are small battery-operated devices that vapourise liquid nicotine to provide the same experience as smoking tobacco.  Although the Karnataka government had banned the sale and production of e-cigarettes in June 2016, illegal sale and smuggling of nicotine cartridges and e-cigarettes are rampant in the State.  They are often marketed as a way to cut down or cut out cigarette smoking altogether, and sold as aids to quit smoking. Expert study  The ban was imposed after a study by the State Health Department and experts that showed that e-cigarettes encourage the younger generation to use conventional cigarettes.  While use of two milligrams of nicotine is permitted only in chewable chocolates to help with de-addiction, e-cigarette manufacturers misuse this clause for their sale.  The ban — invoking sections of Drugs and Cosmetics Act and Food Safety Act — also ordered the suspension of all kinds of promotion of e-cigarettes, including online promotion. Daily Current Affairs Dated On 21-Aug-2019 Use of nicotine  Nicotine is used as a direct substance in e-cigarettes and the content ranges up to 36 mg/mL. Although regular cigarettes too have nicotine, it is in the range of 1.2 to 1.4 mg/ml.. GS-3 Cyber attacks in India About 26% of these overall attacks cost organisations in the country upwards of $5 million each. Salient points  Banking and finance, government and critical infrastructure were among the most targeted sectors in India by cybercriminals in 2018-19, according to tech major Cisco.  Also, about 26% of these overall attacks cost organisations in the country upwards of $5 million each.  The hackers are persistent, and their campaigns are very targeted.  Sectors like banking and finance (20.1%), government (19.6%) and critical infrastructure (15.1%) were among those that continue to face the highest threat of cyberattacks.  Cybercriminals are also increasingly targeting sectors like defence (15.1%), IT, telecom and healthcare.  They are using a host of mechanisms like point of sale attacks to target sectors like retail, hospitality, entertainment and e-commerce.  Ransomware are used to attack public sector entities, transportation as well as banking and finance verticals.. Cost of breach  According to Asia-Pacific Security Capabilities Benchmark Study conducted by Cisco that found 21% respondents saying cost of breach for them was between $5-9.9 million, while another 5% said it was more than $10 million for them.  The cost of breach included loss of revenue, customers, and other costs related to the event. About 27% said the cost of less than $100,000 — an indication that while the amount involved may be small but the volume of such attacks is growing. . Daily Current Affairs Dated On 21-Aug-2019 Flyash Why in news? IIT Hyderabad scientists convert fly ash into waterproofing material. Treating fly ash with stearic acid, used in soaps and shampoos, modified the nature of fly ash and helped develop materials with contrasting adhesion behaviours — high adhesions like a rose petal and low adhesion like a lotus leaf. What is Fly Ash?  Fly ash is a major source of PM 2.5 (fine, respirable pollution particles) in summer. It becomes air borne, and gets transported to a radius of 10 to 20 kms.  It can settle on water and other surfaces. Composition:  Fly ash contains heavy metals from coal, a large amount of PM 2.5 and black carbon (BC). Health and environmental hazards:  Toxic heavy metals present: All the heavy metals found in fly ash nickel, cadmium, arsenic, chromium, lead, etc—are toxic in nature.  They are minute, poisonous particles accumulate in the respiratory tract, and cause gradual poisoning . Radiation:  For an equal amount of electricity generated, fly ash contains a hundred times more radiation than nuclear waste secured via dry cask or water storage. Daily Current Affairs Dated On 21-Aug-2019 Water pollution:  The breaching of ash dykes and consequent ash spills occur frequently in India, polluting a large number of water bodies. Effects on environment:  The destruction of mangroves, drastic reduction in crop yields, and the pollution of groundwater in the Rann of Kutch from the ash sludge of adjoining Coal power plants has been well documented. Draft National Resource Efficiency Policy Released Context: Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change released Draft National Resource Efficiency Policy, 2019 on 25.07.2019 inviting comments and suggestions from stakeholders including public/private organizations, experts and concerned citizens on the draft policy. Background  Natural resources form the backbone of any economic development.  India, as one of the fastest growing economies with GDP at 2.6 trillion USD, has increased its material consumption to six times, from 1.18 billion tonnes (BT) in 1970 to 7 BT in 2015.  The material consumption is expected to increase further to provide for an increasing population, rapid urbanization and growing aspirations.  Enhancing resource efficiency and promoting the use of secondary raw materials has emerged as a strategy for ensuring that the potential trade-off between growth, resource constraints and environmental well-being can be minimized. Salient features of policy:  The Draft National Resource Efficiency Policy (NREP) envisions a future with environmentally sustainable and equitable economic growth, resource security, healthy environment (air, water and land), and restored ecosystems with rich ecology and biodiversity. Daily Current Affairs Dated On 21-Aug-2019  The Draft National Resource Efficiency Policy is guided by the principles of (i) reduction in primary resource consumption to ‘sustainable’ levels, in keeping with achieving the Sustainable Development Goals and staying within the planetary boundaries, (ii) creation of higher value with less material through resource efficient and circular approaches, (iii) waste minimization, (iv) material security, and creation of employment opportunities and business models beneficial to the cause of environment protection and restoration.  The Draft National Resource Efficiency Policy provides an overarching collaborative framework for resource efficiency across all sectors in the country, covering both biotic and abiotic resources and life cycle stages and aspires for cross-sectoral stakeholder partnerships for the cause of resource efficiency for sustainable development.

Turbine-Powered 1978 Chevrolet Corvette Idles at 60 MPH!

What do you do if your 535ci, nitrous-injected Corvette just isn’t fast enough? Well, if it’s 1978 and you’re corporate jet entrepreneur Herb Orlowitz, you call your friend Vince Granatelli (son of “Mr. 500” Andy Granatelli) and ask him to build something “really fast.”

As Peter Frey told the story in the Nov. 1979 issue of Motor Trend, Granatelli at first offered Orlowitz one of the turbine-powered Lotus 56s that ran the Indy 500 in 1968, the Graham Hill car that had been recently restored. But Orlowitz wanted something street legal, so Granatelli stepped up to the challenge.

A Corvette was deemed the most suitable platform for such a beast because “its high performance capabilities were a known factor,” wrote Frey. Also, the car’s long nose would accommodate the Pratt and Whitney ST6B turbine engine, which was nearly three times as long as a conventional V-8.

Granatelli began the process with a brand-new 1978 Vette. He described the modifications as “straightforward,” but they weren’t easy. To make room for the turbine he removed the stock front clip and replaced it with a bare fiberglass shell, under which he built a new subframe. Granatelli also constructed “a flat box that covers almost the entire underside of the car” said Frey, to handle the huge amount of airflow coming from the engine. “If eight turbocharged Indy Cosworth motors were run at top speed, they would produce the same amount of exhaust gas flow as the turbine,” Granatelli told Frey.

Under normal conditions, the ST6B would turn 37,500 rpm. To get that down to a manageable number for the car, a Pratt and Whitney reduction gearbox was attached to the back of the engine, bringing the revs to 6,230. The engine’s 880 horsepower and 1,161 lb-ft of torque were then routed through a modified TH400 automatic transmission to a strengthened driveshaft and a 3.08 rearend.

Even with the gear reduction, the Vette would accelerate to 60 mph at idle. So “massive, ventilated, NASCAR-style disc brakes” were mounted at all four corners, and keeping the Vette within urban speed limits meant riding the brake pedal. The throttle was used only on the highway and the racetrack.

Speaking of which, Frey noted that getting acceleration data took some doing. Their first attempts to launch the car broke a retaining clip in the driveshaft U-joint. After repairs, a second try “with a more restrained starting procedure” netted them a 12.0-second e.t. at 111 mph.

“Our best run, which achieved a delicate balance of acceleration and wheelspin, left a pair of parallel streaks down the racetrack for 1,270 feet, with darker patches that indicated the transmission shifts,” wrote Frey. “Though the numbers are impressive, they cannot convey the tremendous rush of sensations that occurs when the car is at full throttle. There is almost no vibration from the engine, but there is a waterfall of noise, and acceleration that literally pinned us back in the seats.” MT’s data loggers recorded a 0-60 time of 3.6 seconds—Granatelli would later report a 2.5-second 60-mph sprint—and Frey said the Vette topped out at 180 mph.

Parnelli Jones had a chance to drive the Turbine Corvette on Ontario Motor Speedway’s 2.5-mile oval. He called the car “fantastic!”

PJ told Frey, “Straight-line stability was good, and it handled through the turns pretty much like any Corvette. I’ve raced at this track in NASCAR-type stock cars, and with their racing tires and more highly modified suspensions, they turn better lap times, but they don’t accelerate as fast as the Corvette, and they don’t come out of the corners anywhere near as quick. The torque of this engine is tremendous.”

In the summer of 1979, Petersen Publishing’s Bob D’Olivo photographed the Turbine Corvette with the Hill-driven Lotus 56. Austin, Texas, collector Milton Verret reportedly bought the Vette in 1982 for more than $500,000, and he would come to own the Lotus as well. Both were offered at the Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale auction in 2015, but neither met its reserve. Vette

By Design: Lancia Stratos Zero

True concept cars from mainstream manufacturers—as opposed to one-off, individually commissioned designs on commercially available chassis, as was common practice in the ’20s and ’30s—are a relatively rare phenomenon. Starting with Harley Earl’s Buick Y-Job in 1939 and Chrysler’s Alex Tremulis’ Thunderbolt soon after, nothing much more happened until 1951, when Earl’s Le Sabre and the Buick XP-300 that shared its chassis and mechanical elements appeared. Since then, a veritable flood of such cars have appeared, but those “concepts” have primarily been means to suggest near-future production models, nothing more, and certainly, most have been essentially rather conventional.

To my mind, there have been only a few truly conceptual, absolutely extraordinary concept cars, in particular one from General Motors and two from Carrozzeria Bertone. Of course, principal credit for their creation goes to the design bosses, Harley Earl at the end of his career and Nuccio Bertone. But in fact the shapes of the three vehicles were the brainchildren of their brilliant subordinates: Norman James for the Firebird III gas-turbine two-seater, Franco Scaglione for the Alfa Romeo BAT 7 aerodynamic study, and Marcello Gandini for the most extreme of all, the Lancia Stratos Zero. Of the three concepts, the latter is by far the most extreme, the most improbable, and the most interesting morphologically and in terms of its consequences.

Hundreds of significant designs have come from the hand and mind of Gandini, whose spirit of creation seems to have been liberated by his free rein on the Stratos Zero. To be sure, he had already created the most beautiful supercar of the ’60s when he shaped the body of the Lamborghini Miura, but others determined its architecture; he was simply the stylist. His Lamborghini Marzal mid-engine four-seater—the first ever—showed what he could do when he could influence the mechanicals. The Marzal was simply a lengthened Miura with the front bank of its transverse V-12 removed, but that work was done by Lamborghini engineers Gian Paolo Dallara and Paolo Stanzani. Stratos Zero was all Gandini, using the existing Lancia Fulvia front-drive V-4 but in the rear end instead.

Although the production Stratos packed a 2.4-liter V-6 from the Ferrari Dino, the Zero made use of a 1.6-liter V-4 from the Lancia Fulvia.

Ridiculously low, totally impractical, and utterly fascinating in its tantalizing absurdity, the Zero is one of the most extraordinary cars ever made. Its name is perfectly appropriate in that it has zero practicality, zero utility, and almost zero visibility. One of my friends actually drove this car back in the early ’70s in Los Angeles, and only for about 100 feet or so inside a building and at extremely low speed in first gear. But that brief episode was enough for him to recall the experience clearly 45 years later and to know full well he would not like to repeat it now that he’s no longer a young man. Assuming, of course, he could still get in the car in the first place. He remembers it as extremely claustrophobic, pulling the windshield/door down over his head all too much like closing the lid of a coffin. It was an exercise in pushing a concept to extremes, so it was valid for Bertone in 1970. It also led, happily, to the wonderful Lancia Stratos that had nothing more than its name—slightly modified at that—in common. Well, Gandini was a common link as well, in that he was responsible for the entire package of the incredibly successful polyvalent rally car, able to handle the extremes of the Monte Carlo winter event (three outright wins) and the East African Safari.

Throughout the ’70s and ’80s, wedge-shaped designs influenced by the Zero proliferated, including show examples from mainstream manufacturers like Mercedes-Benz and GM, and of course limited-production cars from Lotus, Maserati, and even the lowly Triumph TR-7. Many were beautiful, striking, and impressive, but no concept or production car has ever been as extreme as this one.

1. There are 10 tiny headlights in the full-width rectangular opening in the car’s chisel-blade nose. It really is a pure wedge shape from the front-wheel centerline forward.

2. The mirrors are a joke. To actually drive the car, one was stuck up top where it could be seen through the upper edge of the windshield.

3. To some extent the lower side windows are a joke as well. There is nothing but pavement to be seen through them.

4. This very strong rising line is dead straight in pure profile, but in plan view it has a notable kink, bending inward notably toward the rear corners of the body, which are well outboard of the front ones.

5. The dramatic engine cover, made up of five superposed metal triangles that scoop air into the engine compartment, is hinged on the right and provides more than adequate access.

6. This is the first expression of the rear wheel opening that became a personal hallmark for Gandini—very successfully on the Lamborghini Countach LP400 but spectacularly ugly on the Stola S86 Diamante seen at the 2005 Geneva show. Airplane manufacturers, before jet speeds made all vertical tails virtually identical, used the shape of the vertical fin as a mark of identity; perhaps Gandini’s love of aviation led him in this direction.

7. Letting the very handsome mechanical elements hang out without even the slightest attempt to hide them lets the wedge-shaped body be psychologically divorced from what racers like to call “the oily bits.”

1. What appears in this view to be a sharp right-angle bend from the horizontal body plane to the sides is in fact a pair of lines with a subtly concave section between them, this outer line leading to the upper corner of the triangular mirror cove.

2. The black section is a rubber mat with very fine transverse ribs on which the driver and passenger step to gain access to the cockpit. The steering wheel folds forward and down out of the way as the rear-hinged windshield is lifted.

3. The big, round Lancia badge on the nose also serves as the latch for the door-cum-windshield, which is one and a half times wider at the rear edge than in front.

4. The front edge is not quite knife-sharp, as it seems in profile. It houses 10 separate headlamp elements, the slimmest then in existence, sourced in France.

5. There is a lot of careful, subtle surface modulation going on in the apparently simplistic front end. A slight rib at the edge of the welcome mat flows up into the roof, with a twisting panel framing the windshield, almost horizontal in front and becoming a near-vertical fence at the rear of the glass.

6. A kind of fence starts from the lower front corners of the windshield and reaches maximum height at the high point of the car’s profile.

7. The filler panel between the lower outer body surface and the inset panel is perforated with five holes to ingest air …

8. … whereas the upper inset panel flows into the engine compartment, constituting a scoop for cooling air.

1. It’s late-’60s Apollo-era technology perhaps, but it really does seem more like a spaceship cabin than a car’s cockpit even now.

2. There were no automotive airbags in 1970, but this padded sphere might have offered a little bit of protection. Notice the absence of safety belts.

1. Each of these sharp fender-edge hard lines derives from the upper edge of the front fenders. The upper one flows into the triangular mirror aperture that ends the fender. The other flows around the wheel opening and into the rib on the body sides.

2. Nearly mirror-image holes are cut into the body’s side surfaces. Each is framed by a hard line with a tight radius at the end of the principal inset surface. The upper indented surface becomes a scoop to bring air into the engine compartment.

3. The incised and depressed surface below the rib is less inclined toward the interior of the volume.

4. The gearbox, itself a handsome, functional ribbed surface, is allowed to be completely seen below the translucent red plastic taillight framing for the rear body aperture. Bright mechanical fastener heads are spaced around the perimeter, one of them perfectly centered on the axis of the crankshaft. The megaphone-shaped exhaust tips are asymmetrically placed entirely to the left.

By Design: Lancia Stratos Zero

True concept cars from mainstream manufacturers—as opposed to one-off, individually commissioned designs on commercially available chassis, as was common practice in the ’20s and ’30s—are a relatively rare phenomenon. Starting with Harley Earl’s Buick Y-Job in 1939 and Chrysler’s Alex Tremulis’ Thunderbolt soon after, nothing much more happened until 1951, when Earl’s Le Sabre and the Buick XP-300 that shared its chassis and mechanical elements appeared. Since then, a veritable flood of such cars have appeared, but those “concepts” have primarily been means to suggest near-future production models, nothing more, and certainly, most have been essentially rather conventional.

To my mind, there have been only a few truly conceptual, absolutely extraordinary concept cars, in particular one from General Motors and two from Carrozzeria Bertone. Of course, principal credit for their creation goes to the design bosses, Harley Earl at the end of his career and Nuccio Bertone. But in fact the shapes of the three vehicles were the brainchildren of their brilliant subordinates: Norman James for the Firebird III gas-turbine two-seater, Franco Scaglione for the Alfa Romeo BAT 7 aerodynamic study, and Marcello Gandini for the most extreme of all, the Lancia Stratos Zero. Of the three concepts, the latter is by far the most extreme, the most improbable, and the most interesting morphologically and in terms of its consequences.

Hundreds of significant designs have come from the hand and mind of Gandini, whose spirit of creation seems to have been liberated by his free rein on the Stratos Zero. To be sure, he had already created the most beautiful supercar of the ’60s when he shaped the body of the Lamborghini Miura, but others determined its architecture; he was simply the stylist. His Lamborghini Marzal mid-engine four-seater—the first ever—showed what he could do when he could influence the mechanicals. The Marzal was simply a lengthened Miura with the front bank of its transverse V-12 removed, but that work was done by Lamborghini engineers Gian Paolo Dallara and Paolo Stanzani. Stratos Zero was all Gandini, using the existing Lancia Fulvia front-drive V-4 but in the rear end instead.

Although the production Stratos packed a 2.4-liter V-6 from the Ferrari Dino, the Zero made use of a 1.6-liter V-4 from the Lancia Fulvia.

Ridiculously low, totally impractical, and utterly fascinating in its tantalizing absurdity, the Zero is one of the most extraordinary cars ever made. Its name is perfectly appropriate in that it has zero practicality, zero utility, and almost zero visibility. One of my friends actually drove this car back in the early ’70s in Los Angeles, and only for about 100 feet or so inside a building and at extremely low speed in first gear. But that brief episode was enough for him to recall the experience clearly 45 years later and to know full well he would not like to repeat it now that he’s no longer a young man. Assuming, of course, he could still get in the car in the first place. He remembers it as extremely claustrophobic, pulling the windshield/door down over his head all too much like closing the lid of a coffin. It was an exercise in pushing a concept to extremes, so it was valid for Bertone in 1970. It also led, happily, to the wonderful Lancia Stratos that had nothing more than its name—slightly modified at that—in common. Well, Gandini was a common link as well, in that he was responsible for the entire package of the incredibly successful polyvalent rally car, able to handle the extremes of the Monte Carlo winter event (three outright wins) and the East African Safari.

Throughout the ’70s and ’80s, wedge-shaped designs influenced by the Zero proliferated, including show examples from mainstream manufacturers like Mercedes-Benz and GM, and of course limited-production cars from Lotus, Maserati, and even the lowly Triumph TR-7. Many were beautiful, striking, and impressive, but no concept or production car has ever been as extreme as this one.

1. There are 10 tiny headlights in the full-width rectangular opening in the car’s chisel-blade nose. It really is a pure wedge shape from the front-wheel centerline forward.

2. The mirrors are a joke. To actually drive the car, one was stuck up top where it could be seen through the upper edge of the windshield.

3. To some extent the lower side windows are a joke as well. There is nothing but pavement to be seen through them.

4. This very strong rising line is dead straight in pure profile, but in plan view it has a notable kink, bending inward notably toward the rear corners of the body, which are well outboard of the front ones.

5. The dramatic engine cover, made up of five superposed metal triangles that scoop air into the engine compartment, is hinged on the right and provides more than adequate access.

6. This is the first expression of the rear wheel opening that became a personal hallmark for Gandini—very successfully on the Lamborghini Countach LP400 but spectacularly ugly on the Stola S86 Diamante seen at the 2005 Geneva show. Airplane manufacturers, before jet speeds made all vertical tails virtually identical, used the shape of the vertical fin as a mark of identity; perhaps Gandini’s love of aviation led him in this direction.

7. Letting the very handsome mechanical elements hang out without even the slightest attempt to hide them lets the wedge-shaped body be psychologically divorced from what racers like to call “the oily bits.”

1. What appears in this view to be a sharp right-angle bend from the horizontal body plane to the sides is in fact a pair of lines with a subtly concave section between them, this outer line leading to the upper corner of the triangular mirror cove.

2. The black section is a rubber mat with very fine transverse ribs on which the driver and passenger step to gain access to the cockpit. The steering wheel folds forward and down out of the way as the rear-hinged windshield is lifted.

3. The big, round Lancia badge on the nose also serves as the latch for the door-cum-windshield, which is one and a half times wider at the rear edge than in front.

4. The front edge is not quite knife-sharp, as it seems in profile. It houses 10 separate headlamp elements, the slimmest then in existence, sourced in France.

5. There is a lot of careful, subtle surface modulation going on in the apparently simplistic front end. A slight rib at the edge of the welcome mat flows up into the roof, with a twisting panel framing the windshield, almost horizontal in front and becoming a near-vertical fence at the rear of the glass.

6. A kind of fence starts from the lower front corners of the windshield and reaches maximum height at the high point of the car’s profile.

7. The filler panel between the lower outer body surface and the inset panel is perforated with five holes to ingest air …

8. … whereas the upper inset panel flows into the engine compartment, constituting a scoop for cooling air.

1. It’s late-’60s Apollo-era technology perhaps, but it really does seem more like a spaceship cabin than a car’s cockpit even now.

2. There were no automotive airbags in 1970, but this padded sphere might have offered a little bit of protection. Notice the absence of safety belts.

1. Each of these sharp fender-edge hard lines derives from the upper edge of the front fenders. The upper one flows into the triangular mirror aperture that ends the fender. The other flows around the wheel opening and into the rib on the body sides.

2. Nearly mirror-image holes are cut into the body’s side surfaces. Each is framed by a hard line with a tight radius at the end of the principal inset surface. The upper indented surface becomes a scoop to bring air into the engine compartment.

3. The incised and depressed surface below the rib is less inclined toward the interior of the volume.

4. The gearbox, itself a handsome, functional ribbed surface, is allowed to be completely seen below the translucent red plastic taillight framing for the rear body aperture. Bright mechanical fastener heads are spaced around the perimeter, one of them perfectly centered on the axis of the crankshaft. The megaphone-shaped exhaust tips are asymmetrically placed entirely to the left.

9 Works to Collect at ArtBO

75 galleries head to Bogotá, Colombia, Thursday for the 13th edition of ArtBO. A specially curated section, Artecámara, focuses on work by homegrown, local talent. (It bears the cheeky title “Do It While You’re Young.”) Meanwhile, the main section of the fair attracts galleries from around the world—from Galeria Luisa Strina of São Paulo, Brazil, to Nils Stærk of Copenhagen, Denmark. Here, we’ve selected a few highlights for savvy collectors of all sorts.

SUPERFLEX, If Value Then Copy, 2017

On view at ArtBO: Nils Stærk, Principal, Booth B1

If Value Then Copy, 2017. SUPERFLEX Nils Stærk

Rasmus Nielsen, Jakob Fenger, and Bjørnstjerne Christiansen came together to form SUPERFLEX in 1993, and this year celebrate the coveted commission at Tate Modern’s Turbine Hall. They’ve built a park in Copenhagen and launched their own energy drink as an art piece, but this text-based piece is a more manageable acquisition for the average collector. Its copy-friendly sentiment loosely grew out of Copyshop, a 2005 project in Denmark (which later travelled to Tennessee) that involved a pop-up store hawking beer, sneakers, and other SUPERFLEX microbrands.

Jesús Rafael Soto, Ovalo en Rojo (Serie Sintesis), 1979

On view at ArtBO: Leon Tovar Gallery, Principal, Booth C17

Ovalo en Rojo (Serie Sintesis), 1979. Jesús Rafael Soto Leon Tovar Gallery

The Venezuela-born titan of kinetic art, among other disciplines, Soto was always inventive with materials. His works are in a state of flux, flirting with optical illusion. “There are many ideas I have explored,” Soto has said, “but participation is something that I have always been aware of.” Ovalo en Rojo, for instance, combines Plexiglass and metal to explore concepts of color, abstraction, and spatial relationships. Keep your eye on it as you walk past, and its intricate geometries will move as you do.

Alvaro Seixas, Untitled Painting (Can’t Buy Paintings This Month), 2017

On view at ArtBO: Cavalo, Proyectos, Booth B14

Untitled Painting (Can’t Buy Paintings This Month), 2017. Alvaro Seixas Cavalo

Born and based in Rio de Janeiro, Seixas employs both text and imagery in vibrant, irreverent works. This highlighter-yellow canvas provides an absurd reason for why an unknown collector is too strapped for cash to buy new art. Seixas’s “untitled” canvases are often titled with coy parentheticals that jar with what is depicted. In another representative piece, a smirking E.T. holds up a glowing finger, surrounded by the not-so-kid-friendly message: “Portrait of the Artist as a Finger Fucker.”

Ariel Schlesinger, Untitled (wine bottle), 2016

On view at ArtBO: Galerija Gregor Podnar, Principal, Booth B6

Untitled (wine bottle) , 2016. Ariel Schlesinger Galerija Gregor Podnar

This Berlin-based Israeli artist engages photography, sculpture, and other media to create strange pairings of otherwise everyday items. For one series, he drastically burnt, and then stretched, segments of plain white canvas. A typical Schlesinger sculpture might place two orange gas tanks into the front seats of a Mini Cooper, a sort of double readymade. In this delicate photograph from 2016, a tilted wine bottle emits smoke as its contents nearly smother the singular flame of the candle that holds it upright.

Sheroanawë Hakihiiwë, Sekisekima mamiki (pata de saltamonte), 2015

On view at ArtBO: ABRA, Proyectos, Booth B10

Sekisekima mamiki (pata de saltamonte), 2015. Sheroanawë Hakihiiwë ABRA

The simplicity of Hakiihiiwë’s piece, whose title translates to “grasshopper’s foot,” leaves room for interpretation. The rough edges of the banana-leaf paper mirror the imperfect lines of what looks either like an insect’s limb or a strange playground slide. On the other hand, the drawing might have its roots in ancient myth: Hakihiiwë work often incorporates the origin stories and traditions of his native Pori Pori and its Yanomami residents, specifically the shamans of the tiny village in the Amazonas region of Venezuela.

Elena Alonso, Baldosa T4, 2017

On view at ArtBO: Espacio Valverde, Principal, Booth A26

Baldosa T4, 2017. Elena Alonso Espacio Valverde

The Madrid-based artist takes an interdisciplinary approach to her work, peppering it with references to architecture and other crafts. Baldosa T4 is a small-scale plaster and pigment construction that resembles an abstract riff on a piece of colorful toast. One of a likeminded series, it’s a surprisingly affordable complement to the pricier works on paper by Alonso that Espacio Valverde is also showing.

Marcelo Brodsky, Berlin, 1968, from the “1968: the fire of ideas” series, 2014–17

On view at ArtBO: Henrique Faria Fine Art, Principal, Booth A12

From the series "1968, the fire of the ideas", Berlín, 1968, 2014-2017. Marcelo Brodsky Henrique Faria Fine Art

By adding hand-painted flourishes to a trove of black and white 1968 archival photos, Brodsky’s series seeks to reimagine history through a modern lens. The Buenos Aires-born artist, known for a practice that engages with politics and human rights, sought refuge in Barcelona during Argentina’s infamously brutal dictatorship that culminated in thousands of deaths and tens of thousands reported missing between 1976 and 1983. In this piece, bursts of color and scrawled, handwritten notes animate the scene: a photograph taken by Wolfgang Kunz capturing a chaotic streetscape in 1960s Berlin.

Anna Maria Maiolino, Untitled, from the “One and Others” series, 2000–02

On view at ArtBO: Galeria Luisa Strina, Principal, Booth A10

[Untitled, from the One and Others series], 2000-2002. Anna Maria Maiolino Galeria Luisa Strina

Initially engaged in more outwardly political art in Brazil during the 1960s, Maiolino gradually moved toward Minimalism. Her work has a loaded psychological weight—consider 2012’s Here & There, which fills a bed with what appear to be metal bananas. This untitled piece from the “One and Others” series is barebones, but still affecting: a rectangular cube of dark cement that bears a gaping puncture wound.

Rodolpho Parigi, Yoga Molusco, 2017

On view at ArtBO: Galeria Nara Roesler, Proyectos, Booth B20

Yoga Molusco, 2017. Rodolpho Parigi Galeria Nara Roesler

The Brazilian painter distorts artifacts of popular culture, implementing color in a way that he has said intends to “confer unity to his whole image.” In Yoga Molusco, a fleshy, vaguely humanoid shape twists into a lotus pose against an gesturally expressive background. It’s more soothing than other aspects of Parigi’s practice, which might involve surreal still lifes with lobsters, or four-fingered, monstrous hands.
