New Honda Amaze First Drive review: Next generation or facelift?
Honda may be the last major carmaker in India to enter the compact SUV segment with the Elevate. They've launched a very impressive product, but their late entry means they've lost much of the market share to rival brands that have been in the compact SUV market for almost a decade.

It is the company's best-selling model and has helped drive steady sales for Honda Cars India.

Exclusive: Claire Lester on bridging the generation gap
Is there really a generation gap? If so, how can meeting and event planners bridge the generation gap? There is a lot of discussion about generational differences causing a generation gap in conference design, especially now that large-scale intergenerational workforce shifts are expected to occur in the coming years.

Leveraging the new generation
Coherent multi-source agreement (MSA) pluggable modules have played a key role in expanding deployment scenarios for network operators, and the introduction of 400G modules has driven near-term network transformation opportunities. We have seen the introduction of various 400G MSA pluggable products drive the adoption of recent IP-over-DWDM architectures, enabling direct router-to-router metro connections over fiber and higher port density transponder designs. The Optical Internetworking Forum (OIF) launched the 400G MSA pluggable generation and developed the 400ZR implementation agreement, enabling point-to-point amplified links up to 120 km running at 60+Gbaud data rates. Around the same time frame, the OpenROADM MSA defined 400G interfaces for ROADM networks and extended reach; the OpenZR+ MSA leverages these higher performance interfaces to enable interoperable enhanced performance links for 400G pluggable modules (Figure 1). The introduction of high transmit optical power (>0dBm) ZR+ modules, such as Acacia’s Bright 400ZR+ module, further expands the 400G MSA pluggable space to include brownfield ROADM network architectures (existing transponder channels…

for Young Professionals Recognition Program Guidelines, TSE spoke with Joe Kowalsky, 2022 UFI Next Generation Leadership (NGL) Award winner, Events Director at CloserStill Media and 2024 TSE Trailblazer, about his experiences. What was the application process like and was it difficult/easy to get your organization to support your application given the nature of the project the awardees had to complete? Joe: The NGL application process is deceptively simple. We give you a topic that our industry is looking for new perspectives on and ask for your thoughts. The entire process is you sharing your thoughts on what you think a certain topic could bring to our industry. It seems simple: write a short letter introducing your idea and submit a video presenting your concepts and understanding. However, the amount of times I had to rewrite the letter and have to stop the video and start over from scratch made the process challenging. There was always something I wanted to add…

Poll: Which generation of Mazda MX-5 is best?
Mazda’s revolutionary roadster turns 35 this year and is now in its fourth generation – which is your favourite? September 8, 2024 17:22 The Mazda MX-5 has long been hailed as one of the most fun-to-drive convertible sports cars and is now 35 years old. During this time, it went through four generations with some mild updates in between. From the groundbreaking NA to the refined ND, it has always been the ultimate economical RWD sports car. 1989 was a crazy year. George H.W. Bush came to power, the Berlin Wall fell, and Tim Burton's Batman was released. That same year, Mazda began selling the MX-5, also known as the Eunos Roadster and Miata, depending on the market. Now, 35 years later, we're counting on you to tell us which generation is the best. It would be easy to give all the credit to the latest (and perhaps greatest) MX-5, known internally as the ND. Currently producing 181 horsepower (135…

Attracting and Retaining Generation Z in Manufacturing
The manufacturing industry faces a huge challenge: Only 6 out of 10 jobs are filled. As companies work to address this shortage, they need to shift their focus from simply offering competitive salaries to investing in what will truly attract and retain Gen Z employees.

For Gen Z, meaningful relationships with coworkers, impactful work opportunities, and workplace flexibility are key factors in their employment decisions.

No GM oil consumption class action in Missouri
Judge decertifies GM class action lawsuit over excessive oil consumption in 5.3-liter Vortecs July 2, 2024 — The Missouri General Motors oil consumption class action lawsuit is no longer a class action. Plaintiff Robert Riddell purchased a new 2012 Chevrolet Silverado equipped with a fourth-generation 5.3-liter V8 Vortec 5300 engine. According to the lawsuit, the Vortec 5300 engine had defective piston rings that caused excessive oil consumption. Without adequate oil, the engine will not be lubricated and components will not be protected from wear and damage. The plaintiffs claimed that the engines could fail completely and that GM had long known that the piston rings were defective. GM allegedly concealed the excessive oil consumption problem in its advertising, and the plaintiff claimed that he would not have purchased the truck or would have paid less if GM had disclosed the alleged excessive oil consumption problem. GM has been sued numerous times for excessive oil consumption, but most class-action lawsuits have…
