US President Trump, TSMC Announce $100 Billion Plan to Build 5 New US Factories US President Trump, TSMC Announce $100 Billion Plan to Build 5 New US Factories Taiwanese semiconductor company TSMC plans to make a fresh $100 billion (roughly Rs. 8,73,656 crore) investment in the US that would involve building five additional chip facilities in the country in coming years, its CEO announced with President Donald Trump on Monday. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co, the world’s largest contract chipmaker and a leading supplier to major US hardware manufacturers, announced the plan as its CEO CC Wei met with Trump at the White House. “We must be able to build the chips and semiconductors that we need right here,” Trump said. “It’s a matter of national security for us.” TSMC said the expansion includes plans for three new chip fabrication plants, two advanced packaging facilities and a major research and development center. The $100 billion (roughly Rs. 8,73,656 crore) outlay, which would boost domestic production and make the United States less reliant on semiconductors made in Asia, is in addition to an investment announced last April, when TSMC said it would expand its planned US investment by $25 billion (roughly Rs. 2,18,414 crore) to $65 billion (roughly Rs. 5,67,869 crore) and add a third Arizona factory by 2030. TSMC did not give a timeframe for any of its new investments, other than saying it would create 40,000 construction jobs over the next four years. Construction on its first Arizona plant was plagued by delays, with the company eventually starting chip production in 2024 at a higher cost than at its facilities in Taiwan. The company’s Taiwan-listed shares opened down 2.25 percent on Tuesday and were trading about 1.5 percent lower at 0413 GMT. “Higher costs are definitely a concern for TSMC,” said Andrew Tsai, chairman of Taiwan’s Capital Investment Management Corp, an investment consulting firm. As a key manufacturing partner to Nvidia, Qualcomm, and Advanced Micro Devices, TSMC is central to the US chip industry, and bringing more of its production to US soil would solve a major supply chain risk for those firms The Taiwanese company could also play a central role in saving rival Intel. Earlier this year, Trump administration officials met with Wei in New York about taking a majority stake in a joint venture in Intel’s factory unit, as part of a deal in which several chip firms would take a stake in the venture, according to a source familiar with the matter. Intel did not respond to questions about the meetings. For Trump, the announcement helps show voters he is fulfilling his campaign pledge to do more to bolster domestic industries and create jobs. It is the latest in a string of such developments. In February, Apple said it would invest $500 billion (roughly Rs. 43,68,405 crore) in the next four years, although much of that was routine spending. Emirati billionaire Hussain Sajwani and SoftBank also have promised multi-billion dollar investments in the US. TSMC said on Monday it looks “forward to discussing our shared vision for innovation and growth in the semiconductor industry, as well as exploring ways to bolster the technology sector along with our customers.” Taiwan’s cabinet said on Tuesday that it would review the investment in accordance with its laws, which require government approval for any large overseas investment by a Taiwanese company. Taiwan Premier Cho Jung-**** said the government generally viewed overseas investments that would raise Taiwan’s overall competitiveness positively and that Taiwan was a “most important” partner to the US in high-tech sectors. Chips Act The first Trump administration brought TSMC to Arizona in 2019 and introduced legislation that would later become the CHIPS and Science Act, passed in 2022 under President Joe Biden to provide $52.7 billion (roughly Rs. 4,60,434 crore) in subsidies for American semiconductor production and research. Last year, the US Commerce Department finalized a $6.6 billion (roughly Rs. 57,667 crore) government subsidy for TSMC to produce semiconductors in Phoenix, Arizona, while the $100 billion (roughly Rs. 8,73,656 crore) announced on Monday would be eligible for a 25 percent manufacturing investment tax credit under the 2022 law. Under Biden, the Commerce Department convinced all five leading-edge global semiconductor firms to locate factories in the US as it sought to address national security risks from imported chips. Taiwan’s dominant position as a maker of chips used in technology from cellphones and cars to fighter jets has sparked concerns of over-reliance on the island, especially as China ramps up pressure to assert its sovereignty claims. China claims Taiwan as its territory, but the democratically elected government in Taipei rejects Beijing’s sovereignty claims. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said on Monday that TSMC and other companies were investing in the US as they sought to avoid Trump’s new tariffs. Lutnick told lawmakers in January that the Biden-era program was “an excellent down payment” to rebuild the sector, but he has declined to commit to grants that were approved by the department under Biden, saying he wanted to “read them and analyze them and understand them.” A TSMC spokesperson said last month the company had received $1.5 billion (roughly Rs. 13,107 crore) in CHIPS Act money before the new administration came in, as per the milestone terms of its agreement. TSMC last year agreed to produce the world’s most advanced 2-nanometer technology at its second Arizona factory, expected to begin production in 2028. TSMC also agreed to use its most advanced chip manufacturing technology called “A16” in Arizona. TSMC has already begun producing advanced 4-nanometer chips for US customers in Arizona. © Thomson Reuters 2025 (This story has not been edited by NDTV staff and is auto-generated from a syndicated feed.)

Tesla preparing to open a Pensacola dealership and service center Tesla preparing to open a Pensacola dealership and service center A Tesla dealership is joining the luxury brand market in Pensacola with a new facility in the works at 312 E. Nine Mile Road. The dealership will be both a retail sales and service facility, according to its development order from Escambia County, serving as an all-in-one stop for Tesla customers. Pensacola already has a Tesla Service Center at 175B E. Olive Road. The dealership is nearly ready to open and signage already adorns its new home on the corner of East Nine Mile Road and Music Lane. The building sits next to Ollie’s and is in the same plaza as an Aldi that is being converted from a Winn-Dixie. Escambia County’s Development Review Committee (DRC) issued a development order for the building, which has approximately 45,461 square feet, to be converted into a Tesla dealership last March after a project proposal by a group of out-of-town developers. The project to develop the dealership is owned by NC Pensacola, LLC, based in Charlotte, North Carolina, and it was filed with the county by Drake Motor Partners Pensacola, LLC, who are based in Denver, Colorado. The News Journal reached out to NC Pensacola for comment, but they have not yet responded. Aldi opening soon on Nine Mile Road: Closed E. Nine Mile Winn-Dixie reopening soon as an Aldi. Here’s when. An on-site worker told the News Journal they estimate the dealership will open by the end of March, since they’re putting the finishing touches to the building, but an official timeline is unavailable right now. County records show NC Pensacola bought the parcel where the dealership will stand in September for $4.5 million.

AMD warns its RX 9070 GPUs are strictly ‘UEFI-only’ – and if that sounds worrying, don’t panic, it probably doesn’t affect you AMD warns its RX 9070 GPUs are strictly ‘UEFI-only’ – and if that sounds worrying, don’t panic, it probably doesn’t affect you AMD says its new RDNA 4 GPUs will only support UEFI This means compatibility modes on older motherboards are now ruled out Only a seriously niche set of gamers with very old PCs will be affected AMD’s new RDNA 4 graphics cards will only support UEFI officially, which is the modern take on the BIOS, the company has made clear. As you may be aware, the BIOS is the firmware on your motherboard that’s necessary for your computer to boot up and work, facilitating communication between the hardware components and the software operating system. And as mentioned, the UEFI is just the most recent spin on this (though it should be noted, it has been around for a long time at this point). AMD tells us: “To fully leverage the benefits of UEFI, only UEFI Mode will be officially supported starting from the AMD RDNA 4 generation of graphics cards (Radeon RX 9000 Series Graphics and later).” So, in short, your PC will need to be running in full UEFI mode, and not a legacy compatibility mode (known as CSM or Compatibility Support Module) which is an alternative on non-UEFI motherboards that some folks have used to run AMD graphics card on older hardware. Team Red also outlines the benefits of UEFI firmware compared to ‘legacy’ (pre-UEFI) BIOS firmware, which includes the following boons: Greatly improved security Fully specified interfaces that ensure interoperability and testability Dependable firmware updates from the internet with minimal user interaction Support for hard drives larger than 2.2TB Support for many new types of PC hardware, including NVMe SSD boot support Windows Secure Boot for malware prevention Faster shutdown, startup, sleep, and resume times (Image credit: Shutterstock / DC Studio) Analysis: What does this mean for would-be RX 9070 buyers in practical terms? If you’re confused at this point, don’t worry. Any modern PC will support UEFI and will be fine with a new RDNA 4 graphics card (the RX 9070 models are about to land, of course). You may, however, need to enable UEFI mode and AMD’s FAQ on this matter provides a full explainer on how to do so. If you’ve got a Windows 11 PC, it requires UEFI anyway – note the Windows Secure Boot feature AMD mentioned above, well, that’s required for better security on Windows 11 machines. (I should note that while Secure Boot is part of Microsoft’s official Windows 11 system requirements, it’s possible to fudge your way around it, but it’s not recommended). Sign up for breaking news, reviews, opinion, top tech deals, and more. Those with a PC so old it doesn’t offer a full UEFI mode on the motherboard are not likely to be wanting to run a cutting-edge GPU in the system anyway. There may be some niche cases where this happens, mind you, which is why AMD is issuing this warning – but the vast majority of folks don’t have to worry here. They simply must ensure that they are running full UEFI mode (very likely the case), not a legacy compatibility mode with their motherboard firmware. Indeed, an RX 9070 GPU may even work with said legacy mode, but as it’s officially unsupported now, you can expect flakiness of all kinds and a generally poor experience (and some key features will certainly be missing, like SAM or Smart Access Memory).

Ethereum Reacts to Trump’s Crypto Reserve Plan – Recovery in Sight? Ethereum Reacts to Trump’s Crypto Reserve Plan – Recovery in Sight? Cryptocurrency markets started March on a volatile note. While the main driver of price fluctuations in the market is US President Trump’s rhetoric, crypto investors added to market uncertainty by reacting quickly to Trump’s statements and actions. Trump’s Crypto Reserve Plan By the end of the week, Donald Trump once again brought up the idea of creating a crypto reserve in the US. He even promised that this time, there will be five main cryptocurrencies in the crypto reserve—not only but also , , SOL, and ADA. While these statements were greeted with enthusiasm in the crypto market, serious gains were observed in these altcoins. However, this excitement was short-lived, lasting only 24 hours. The Trump administration’s implementation of the tariff plan for Canada, Mexico, and China triggered sell-offs in the markets, further escalating trade tensions. Cryptocurrencies also continued their downward trend, giving back their gains after a brief ******* of optimism. The “Pump & Dump” Effect from Trump Trump’s rhetoric and actions have created a “Pump & Dump” effect in the cryptocurrency market, a phenomenon typically seen in low-volume cryptocurrencies. According to the statements made, this fluctuating trend can be expected to continue throughout the month. A crypto summit is expected to be organized at the White House towards the end of this week. While crypto investors will be attending this summit, the SEC’s crypto task force is also preparing to hold its first meeting. Despite recent positive developments in the crypto market, institutional control over these assets means the market is increasingly influenced by global economic trends. As a result, Trump has been more enthusiastic about the reserve issue, which was a focal point for crypto participants before the tariffs were imposed. This temporarily shielded the markets from a tariff-induced decline. Now, investors are turning their attention to the upcoming White House crypto summit on Friday. However, if Trump’s rhetoric fails to translate into concrete action, market sentiment could turn increasingly negative, and investors may stop reacting to his statements. Is Reserve Creation Realistic? On the other hand, the Fed was reluctant to create a Bitcoin reserve last month, citing legal constraints. Despite this, Trump’s continued optimism may start to be priced in at lower rates in the crypto markets after some time. The reality is that inflationary pressures from US policies, combined with the Fed’s delay in cutting , are weighing on the markets. Additionally, as the global economy stands on the brink of trade wars, it remains uncertain how countries’ retaliatory measures will impact their economies. Geopolitical tensions also remain high. As such, risk appetite is low, and crypto traders are treating spikes as profit-taking opportunities. Ethereum Continues to Seek Support Ethereum failed to break through the $2,750 resistance last month and continued its downtrend as selling pressure reaccelerated. If the volatility of the last three days is ignored, ETH’s movement toward a critical support area in the $1,950–$2,000 range continues. After the reaction purchases that may come from this region, the $2,400 resistance level may come into focus again. For Ethereum to recover, it will be extremely important to establish support above $2,400. Otherwise, weekly closes below $2,000 may lead to a further acceleration of the downward trend. Key Ethereum Levels to Watch As seen on the daily Ethereum chart, we have summarized the critical Fibonacci levels and support zones as follows: $2,400 (Fibonacci 1 level): Ethereum is attempting to hold this critical $2,400 level. If this region is lost, $2,088 (recent low) and $1,959 (Fibonacci 1.272) can be monitored as support as sell-offs increase. $2,744 (Fibonacci 0.786): To regain bullish momentum, Ethereum must first break past the $2,400 resistance level. In this case, there may be a recovery up to $2,744. $3,000 (Fibonacci 0.618) and above: If Ethereum can break above $2,744, the Fib 0.618 level around $3,000 could be tested. However, this could act as a strong resistance zone. Although the Ethereum market is currently under selling pressure, the Stochastic RSI has turned upward from oversold territory after Sunday’s bounce. This could lead to a resurgence of reaction buying toward the end of the week, depending on whether the cryptocurrency remains above $2,000.

JD Vance Accidentally Spills The GOP’s Strategy In Stunning Self-Own JD Vance Accidentally Spills The GOP’s Strategy In Stunning Self-Own JD Vance sparked eye-rolls and caused irony meters to overload with his latest ― spectacularly unaware ― attack on Democrats. “There is this crazy idea in the Democratic Party that if you just repeat insane ideas, eventually the American people are going to believe them,” the vice president said during an interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity that aired Monday. “We actually think the American people are smart and we should listen to them rather than preach at them and I think that’s the core right now of the president’s political strength,” Vance added. Critics on social media immediately accused Vance of projection. They suggested the repetition of wild ideas ― and the preaching to voters ― were tactics deployed by President Donald Trump, Vance himself and the rest of the GOP. “Isn’t that Trump’s whole business model?” asked one commenter. Another said: “Every accusation is a confession.” Related… Source link #Vance #Accidentally #Spills #GOPs #Strategy #Stunning #SelfOwn Pelican News View the full article at [Hidden Content]

Flash drive prices bump along, as SAS HDDs gain mystery bounce Flash drive prices bump along, as SAS HDDs gain mystery bounce Solid-state drive (SSD) prices per gigabyte (GB) dropped over the last two quarters – since the beginning of September 2024 – while SAS hard disk drive (HDD) prices increased over the same *******. Flash drive prices (MLC, TLC and QLC) fell from an average of $0.085/GB to just under $0.079/GB. That’s a 7% decrease. At the same time, SAS spinning disk prices per gigabyte rose from $0.041 to $0.049, a rise of 18%. The reason isn’t apparent, but there was a flurry of high-capacity HDD drive launches in 2024, including Western Digital’s 32TB (terabyte) shingled drive and Toshiba’s 24TB and 28TB units. Prior to the recent two quarters, flash drive prices had fallen in the first three quarters of 2024 to $0.085/GB. That was a slide of just above 10% since April and followed price-per-gigabyte highs earlier in the year. Flash prices hit a recent ceiling in late 2023 and the early months of 2024 when drive makers slowed production in an attempt to raise prices and boost profitability. SSD prices per gigabyte reached an average of $0.095 by April 2024, which was a rise of 26.67% since autumn 2023. Many at the time believed SSD prices would achieve even greater highs in 2024, but while production increased, customer demand did not, and prices decreased. Meanwhile, average spinning disk (SAS and SATA) hard drive prices have hardly moved, with a rise since September 2024 from $0.039 to $0.041 now. That, however, masks the 18% increase in SAS drive prices over the same *******. The figures here result from exclusive analysis by Computer Weekly that gathers drive prices weekly from Amazon.com that are aggregated by Diskprices.com (see graph). Since March 2023, more than 65,000 drive prices and specs have been amassed, with averages calculated every week for TLC, QLC and MLC/unspecified flash drives, as well as SAS and SATA spinning disk. Disk prices from April 2023 to March 2025 The analysis uses Diskprices.com’s collation of new drive prices that it takes from Amazon.com, with an average of more than 500 disk prices and specifications processed each week. Data is then filtered by flash and spinning disk type and average price per gigabyte calculated for each week. While the analysis is based on Amazon.com prices, which are aimed at consumers and SME customers, the volume of data gathered helps to show trends in drive pricing. We use it here as a proxy for drive prices because of the absence of price data from enterprise drive and storage array makers. Price per gigabyte is a major consideration for customers, but total cost of ownership over a drive’s lifecycle is also important, with purchase cost, energy usage and maintenance costs key among them. Data gathered covers drives that range in capacity from less than 1TB up to 26TB for HDDs and up to 12TB for SSDs, with an average of 3.8TB per drive offered for *****. SSD costs more per drive to buy than spinning disk, but maintenance costs are often lower. Cloud storage provider Backblaze – which publishes reliability figures for the 300,000-plus drives in its estate – found its SSD annual failure rate (AFR) to be 0.9% in mid-2023. There’s been no SSD AFR stats for SSDs from Backblaze since, but for HDDs the figure for 2024, reported in February 2025, was 1.57%.

F-35s to get new capabilities with summer software update F-35s to get new capabilities with summer software update AURORA, Colo. — Lockheed Martin hopes to begin rolling out early Block 4 capabilities to the F-35 this summer, a senior company official said Monday. Chauncey McIntosh, vice president and general manager of Lockheed’s F-35 program, said at the Air and Space Forces Association’s AFA Warfare Symposium here that the company plans to drop an update to the F-35′s Technology Refresh 3 software, which will enable new features. The TR-3 software update will bring the aircraft type closer to being able to fly in combat, he said. “Our warfighters are going to see a much higher increase of stability in that software” once the update is in place, McIntosh said. TR-3 is a series of upgrades to the F-35′s computer memory, processing power, and displays, which are intended to make the jet more capable and pave the way for a subsequent series of more substantial improvements known as Block 4. McIntosh said in a briefing with reporters Monday that Block 4 will bring the F-35 improved sensors, better sensor fusion, and an expanded array of weapons the fighter can carry. In an interview with Defense News after the briefing, McIntosh declined to specify which Block 4 upgrades are on their way later this year, saying the details are secret. “There are some things coming that the warfighter is going to be excited to receive,” he said. A previous Block 4 capability that was dramatically accelerated in the F-35 was the adoption of the automatic ground collision avoidance system, or auto-GCAS. That life-saving technology automatically pulls a jet up if the pilot is unresponsive and the jet senses it is diving into the ground. Officials began installing the capability in 2019. TR-3′s rollout was snarled by lingering software and hardware problems that caused the government to refuse deliveries of dozens of new F-35s for about a year. The delivery halt was lifted in July 2024, after Lockheed Martin developed an interim version of the TR-3 software that would allow pilots to fly training missions, and then combat training. But the jets are still not able to fly in combat, and the government is withholding millions of dollars from Lockheed until the jets are certified to be combat capable. The F-35 Joint Program Office said earlier this year that it hopes the TR-3 jets will be combat capable by the end of 2025, but Lockheed’s chief financial officer said in a January earnings call that it might slip to early 2026. It remains unclear whether F-35s will reach full combat capability this year. McIntosh said it will be up to the military services and international partners flying the jets to decide whether they are ready for combat. He did not directly answer when asked whether Lockheed will be able to deliver all the elements needed for a combat-ready designation by the end of this year. Lockheed expects to deliver between 170 and 190 F-35s this year, as it works through the backlog from the TR-3 delays. That would be up from the roughly 110 it delivered in 2024. McIntosh told reporters Lockheed and the government expect to define the terms of the next F-35 contract, for Lot 18 of the jets, in the second quarter of 2025. Although that contract has not yet been definitized, he said, the company is keeping the rising costs of the jet under inflation. He highlighted the price of steel as one example of a material that goes into an F-35 that has seen significant inflation in recent years. When asked how the Trump administration’s 25% tariffs on steel and aluminum might affect the F-35 program, McIntosh said Lockheed is monitoring their economic effects. He declined to speculate on how Lockheed might respond to tariff-driven increases in the supply chain, but said in the past the company has sought to find new ways to get cheaper materials, such as hunting for alternative vendors or adopting different buying techniques.

Google Pixel 9a Surfaces on US FCC Website With Support for Satellite Connectivity Google Pixel 9a Surfaces on US FCC Website With Support for Satellite Connectivity Google Pixel 9a is expected to launch in global markets in the coming weeks as the most affordable model in the Pixel 9 series of smartphones, and the handset has been spotted on the US Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) website. The appearance of the upcoming smartphone on the US regulator’s website gives us an idea of what to expect from the Pixel 9a in terms of wireless connectivity. This year, the successor to the Google Pixel 8a is likely to debut with a feature typically found on more expensive smartphones. Google Pixel 9a Likely to Offer Satellite Connectivity and Wireless Charging The upcoming Google Pixel 9a were listed on the US FCC database (via Droid Life) on February 7. The regulator’s website contains listings that refer to three new model numbers G3Y12, GTF7P, and GXQ96, and do not mention the purported Pixel 9a moniker. However, the arrival of the new Pixel smartphone on the FCC website is an indicator of an imminent launch. We’ve already seen several details of the purported Pixel 9a, but the listings on the US FCC website reveal some connectivity features of the upcoming smartphone. The handset is expected to arrive with support for Wi-Fi 6E networks and near field communication (NFC). Last year, Google launched the Pixel 9 series with support for a new feature — satellite communication. While the FCC database doesn’t explicitly mention support for this feature on the upcoming smartphone, a note includes the text “the satellite feature on this device must be turned off at all times while on board an aircraft by turning on airplane mode”. This suggests that Google’s most affordable Pixel 9a series smartphone will offer satellite connectivity features, just like Apple’s latest iPhone 16e. The FCC listing also reveals that the Google Pixel 9a will arrive with support for Qi wireless charging, which should enable support for wireless charging, just like Apple’s newest handset. Google has yet to announce any plans to launch a new smartphone, but the company typically launches a midrange Pixel smartphone at its Google I/O event in May. This year, the company is expected to launch the Pixel 9a earlier than usual, and recent reports suggest it could be unveiled later this month.

Nothing Phone (3a): Specs, price, availability Nothing Phone (3a): Specs, price, availability The Nothing Phone (3a). Nothing BARCELONA — British smartphone startup Nothing on Tuesday debuted a new handset it hopes can shake the mobile industry out of a perceived innovation slowdown. Nothing launched its new Phone (3a) device, a budget phone that comes with an unusual design featuring multiple different shapes and so-called “Glyph” lights on the back that light up to preset ringtones and notification sound effects. The Phone (3a) will retail at a starting price of £329 — or about $414 — while Phone (3a) Pro, a souped-up version of the device with better camera features, will start at £449. The Nothing brand was founded in 2020 by Carl Pei, a co-founder of ******** smartphone brand OnePlus, with the aim of bringing some “warmth” back to consumer tech products. “In the past, people were so optimistic about technology. But now people are indifferent. And there must be a way of breaking the cycle,” Pei told CNBC in an interview in 2021. Pei’s old company OnePlus gained something of a cult following in its early days, thanks to its focus on designing slick and affordable Android handsets and garnering buzz through unconventional marketing tactics. Pei appears to be gunning for the same kind of appeal with Nothing. In the leadup to Phone (3a)’s launch, Nothing put out a video that depicted a humanoid robot — made by Norwegian startup 1X — unboxing the device and holding it up. ‘Sea of smartphone sameness’ Ben Wood, chief analyst at market research firm CCS Insight, applauded Nothing for “trying to do something different” to combat what he called the “sea of smartphone sameness.” “Bottom line, if you want to sell phones in this more affordable segment, you have to have something that stands out from the crowd,” Wood told CNBC. The Phone (3a) has a triple camera system on the back, which includes a 50-megapixel main lens with optical image stabilization to avoid any shakes and blurs, a 50-megapixel telephoto lens for enhanced zooming and an 8-megapixel ultrawide lens from Japanese tech giant Sony. The gear ships with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 processor for smartphones. That marks a shift from the MediaTek Dimensity 7200 Pro chipset, which Nothing used in its Phone (2a) last year. How well will it sell? Besides a nifty design and impressive camera features, there’s not an awful lot else that separates the Phone (3a) from most other phones. It’s similar in shape to an iPhone and offers exactly what you’d expect from many other handsets available on the market right now. In terms of unit sales expectations, Wood said Nothing doesn’t have the kind of scale to sell millions of phones like some of its larger competitors including Apple and Samsung, and that “hundreds of thousands of units” would be considered a success for the sales of its latest product. “Nothing have a business where they run a lean organization and they have to in order to have a viable business,” Wood said. Nothing says it’s sold more than 7 million products to date — including its Ear wireless earbuds — with cumulative revenue topping $1 billion in 2024. Wood argues that Nothing will have to be “extremely price competitive” given how much it’s targeting the Indian market, too. In January, Pei said Nothing was now the fastest-growing smartphone brand in India, achieving 557% year-over-year growth in 2024. Notably, Nothing said that its pricier Phone (3a) Pro model won’t be available for orders in India. The company’s co-founder Akis Evangelidis plans to move to India to head up operations there later this year.

Agnès b.: The Shop That Changed What We Wear Agnès b.: The Shop That Changed What We Wear Paris is a place for revolutions: the sci-fi fantasies of Cardin and Courrèges, Jean Paul Gaultier’s skirts pour homme and the inflated gothic rituals of Rick Owens. All wild, memorable and museum-worthy. But it may be Agnès Troublé who has changed what we wear today, more so than any fierce iconoclast. When she introduced Agnès b. in 1975 (the b is for Bourgois, Ms. Troublé’s married surname), many women, including the designer’s mother, were still having their clothes made to order. It was not always haute, but it was still couture. Yves Saint Laurent had introduced prêt-à-porter in 1966, but it was Ms. Troublé who moved the needle in the next decade, making cult clothes that were bon chic, bon genre, easy to wear and off the rack. “I always just wanted to create for every man, woman and child,” Ms. Troublé said via a video call from her studio in Paris. “My philosophy comes from what happened on the streets of Paris in 1968. And I still design everything myself.” When Agnès b. began, 50 years ago, it was fresh, cool and totally Parisian. Inspired by Ms. Troublé’s flea market finds, it was aligned with the art world and 1960s cinema and sold at a more accessible price than Saint Laurent’s Rive Gauche. It was where you went for the perfect striped top, white shirt or ****** pants, and it created the model for dozens of midrange French fashion labels. Without the 83-year-old Ms. Troublé, there would most likely be no A.P.C., Comptoir des Cotonniers, Maje, Sandro or Sézane. Fifty years after she founded it, her business remains family owned, with 242 stores globally. She has sold more than two million snap-button cardigans and opened her own contemporary art gallery, La Fab, in Paris in 2022, showcasing pieces from her personal collection of more than 5,000 works. The designer Jean-Charles de Castelbajac worked with Ms. Troublé in 1971 as a stylist at the Pierre d’Alby label, before they introduced their own brands. They remain close friends. “She was my godmother in fashion,” Mr. de Castelbajac said. “I remember when she opened her first shop on Rue du Jour. The area was quite underground, like SoHo before it became trendy. Agnès had a very good education and came from Versailles, but she was curious about politics, concerned about society and Catholic.” “She was full of dualities and wanted her shop to be a cabinet of curiosities,” he continued. “She would put images from Godard films on the wall and invite performance artists in. She created functional clothes with a touch of rock ’n’ roll. The snap cardigan is her manifesto.” Jean Touitou, who founded A.P.C. in 1987, was working at Agnès b. when Ms. Troublé designed the first cardigan in 1979. “I was playing my electric guitar in her studio above the store one evening,” Mr. Touitou said. “I remember seeing her come back from dinner, put a ****** round-neck sweatshirt on a desk, grab a pair of scissors and cut the piece right down the middle. Then, she took snap buttons and put them on the front. It became a worldwide hit.” “I learned two big lessons that night,” he said. “Follow your instincts and do things yourself, literally with your own hands. What I also learned from working with her was the virtue of using a small and smart group of people to run a company.” For many young Parisians, Agnès b. became an experience as well as a capsule wardrobe. “We used to love the giant fitting room in her boutique on Rue Pierre Charron,” Barbara Boccara and Sharon Krief, who founded the label ba&sh together in 2003, wrote in an email. “We would all change together. It was such a unique way to shop with friends or family.” Then there are the design classics that people have kept for years and buy repeatedly. “Her legacy is real,” Pierre Mahéo, the founder of Officine Générale, said. “I always have in mind my friends, and myself, wearing the striped tees and snap cardigans. It was part of our daily uniform 30 years ago, and I am so glad I still see it today on a younger generation. I’m not sure anyone else in France has been able to master a style for so long.” The clothing at Agnès b. was always conservative, but it was also a blank canvas for Ms. Troublé to project ideas onto. The Artist’s Collection of T-shirts was introduced in 1994 with a simple slogan by Félix González-Torres that read, “Nobody owns me.” Work by Kenneth Anger, Louise Bourgeois, David ****** and Agnès Varda followed. A recent edition featured Harmony Korine’s Twitchy character, produced to coincide with an exhibition of his work at La Fab. The marriage of casual French fashion and contemporary art is something Ms. Troublé officiated. In recent years, we’ve seen the hip Paris label Études Studio collaborate with the Kitchen, the downtown Manhattan arts center that opened in 1971, and publish its own series of artist monographs. “Agnès is a true inspiration for us,” Aurélien Arbet, the co-founder and creative director of Études Studio, said. “She opened a path that no other fashion house had, collaborating with graffiti artists, running a gallery and supporting cinema and art with her magazine, Le Point d’Ironie.” While a lot of labels buy into the art world through branding — see Dior’s sponsorship of Judy Chicago’s recent shows — Ms. Troublé has a personal relationship with the artists she supports. The current Korine exhibition features work from her own collection, the largest by the artist in private hands. When she opened her first New York shop in 1980, it was on Prince Street in pre-gentrification SoHo, when Donald Judd was still living around the corner. “I had an instinct,” Ms. Troublé said. “It was where Andy Warhol and all the artists were. That’s how I met Basquiat. Andy bought him a white shirt from the shop, and then when Jean-Michel had a show in Paris, he came to my shop there. I had a call from him at the Crillon at 4 a.m., asking me to go over, but I said … no.” Ms. Troublé’s inner circle has included David Bowie, John Giorno and Jonas Mekas, and her history is entwined with downtown New York as much as it is with Paris. “Shortly after we opened the SoHo store, I had a call from the manager saying there was a girl who really wanted our little pork pie hat, without paying,” Ms. Troublé said. “I asked who it was. It was Madonna. We let her have it.” On the day I talked to Ms. Troublé, she was wearing the latest version of the snap cardigan. She looked as she has since the 1970s — the same tousled blond curls, smiling, relaxed, open. Around her neck was a scarf printed with one of her own photographs of graffiti art on a wall in Paris. “I am always looking at the walls in cities,” she said. “Walls can talk. I love graffiti art. I have three beautiful pieces by Basquiat, but he called himself a street poet, not street artist.” Behind Ms. Troublé was a mood board with photographs of Chiaki Kuriyama in a scene from “Battle Royale” and Jean Seberg in a striped top in “Breathless.” “I met her a long time ago,” Ms. Troublé said. “I was good friends with her and her husband, Romain Gary. I loved the Nouvelle Vague.” It’s unlikely that Agnès b. would be what it is today without the monochrome edge of the French New Wave auteurs. “The label has a special place in French fashion,” Xavier Romatet, the dean of Institut Français de la Mode, France’s foremost fashion school, wrote via email. “She combined simple, durable clothes with a strong brand identity. Simply hand-signing her first name on the label was a brilliant idea that inspired closeness and trust, creating a community of style and thought.” “It was accessible fashion, long before the avalanche of fast fashion,” Mr. Romatet added. When I asked Ms. Troublé what she thought the legacy of her label would be, she assured me it would remain independent and in the hands of her family. She has never considered selling, she said. And why would she? The shop has never gone out of fashion, because it was never really “in.” Source link #Agnès #Shop #Changed #Wear Pelican News View the full article at [Hidden Content]

Here’s What to Watch For in Trump’s Speech to Congress Here’s What to Watch For in Trump’s Speech to Congress Since taking office just six weeks ago, President Trump has blitzed Washington by issuing a flurry of executive actions and leading a dramatic overhaul of the federal bureaucracy. On Tuesday, Mr. Trump is expected to promote those actions while laying out his priorities when he delivers an address to a joint session of Congress. Mr. Trump’s speech is not an official State of the Union address because he was just sworn in as president, but the event will look very similar to one with all three branches of government converging inside the House chamber. As is common with these types of speeches, Mr. Trump will most likely tick through a laundry list of accomplishments — think immigration, tariffs and cuts to government spending — and outline his plans for the months ahead. Mr. Trump says he wants to be remembered as a “peacemaker,” and so he is expected to discuss his plans to end the wars in Ukraine and Gaza. The president will also have to address the funding battle unfolding on Capitol Hill. If Congress does not pass a new spending bill by March 14, the government will shut down. Here are four questions to consider before Mr. Trump takes the rostrum at 9 p.m. What will Trump say about Putin and Zelensky? Mr. Trump on Monday temporarily suspended the delivery of all U.S. military aid to Ukraine, days after an explosive Oval Office meeting with the country’s president, Volodymyr Zelensky. On Tuesday, Mr. Trump will have the opportunity to explain the decision and address what the United States’ support for the war-torn country will look in the future. The president is no fan of Mr. Zelensky and has made clear he wants a drastically different approach from the Biden administration, which sent billions of dollars in aid and weapons to counter Russia’s full-scale invasion three years ago. Mr. Trump has been pressing Ukraine to agree to a cease-fire with Russia on terms the United States negotiates. Mr. Zelensky has balked because those discussions have not included the Ukrainians or American security guarantees to prevent future Russian incursions. The outburst in the Oval Office started in part because Mr. Zelensky reminded Mr. Trump and Vice President JD Vance that Russia has broken cease-fires with Ukraine before. “I just think he should be more appreciative,” Mr. Trump said of Mr. Zelensky on Monday. Mr. Trump has said he wants to position himself as a mediator between Russia and Ukraine, and in doing so he has softened the United States’ posture toward Russia and its president, Vladimir V. Putin. But after Mr. Zelensky left Washington without signing a deal for the United States to have access to Ukraine’s revenue for rare earth minerals, the next steps to ending the war remained unclear. What does Trump say about Elon Musk and his team? Mr. Musk, who is expected to be in attendance on Tuesday, has had a singular influence in the Trump administration. He has overseen the Department of Government Efficiency’s efforts to reduce government spending, a process that has sown confusion as it cuts jobs and funding across the federal bureaucracy and that has led to a number of lawsuits. Thus far, Mr. Trump has praised Mr. Musk’s work and asked him to “get more aggressive.” But some Republicans are starting to feel the backlash from constituents over Mr. Musk’s actions, and some allies of Mr. Trump have privately questioned how long the president will be willing to share the spotlight with the world’s richest man. How will the divisions among Republicans play out? Mr. Trump has faced almost no opposition in the first few weeks of his second term. Other than Matt Gaetz, who withdrew his bid to be attorney general, Mr. Trump is on track to have all of his administration nominees confirmed by the Senate. Republicans have also fallen in line behind Mr. Trump’s more conciliatory approach toward Russia, including some who had been the biggest supporters of Ukraine and Mr. Zelensky. But even as Republicans control the House and the Senate, there are still disagreements over the legislative strategy. That will come to a head in the coming days as lawmakers are forced to extend funding or allow the government to shut down next week. And as for funding his legislative agenda, Mr. Trump wants Congress to spend more money on immigration enforcement and defense while cutting taxes and federal programs. Exactly how lawmakers achieve those goals, however, is an open question. How will Democrats react? Democrats have had a rough few months. Their party is out of power. They are largely leaderless. And they have struggled mightily to respond to the frenzy of activity from the Trump administration. Even some party leaders have conceded they have stumbled in their attempts to settle on a message to counter the president. On Tuesday night, congressional Democrats will have their first high-profile encounter with Mr. Trump and in front of what is expected to be a large national audience. They will have to decide when to stand and clap and how to voice their disapproval. Some Democrats have announced that they are bringing former federal employees as their guests, as part of a protest of the Trump administration’s mass firings.

Nothing’s Phone 3a Pro is a stylish, almost-flagship experience for $459 Nothing’s Phone 3a Pro is a stylish, almost-flagship experience for $459 Nothing doesn’t have a Phone 3 yet, instead choosing to make a lateral move to not one, but two new mid-range devices, the Nothing Phone 3a and, intriguingly, the 3a Pro. Reassuringly, Nothing continues to design phones unlike anything else out there. Its retro-future design aesthetic for the exposed-but-not hardware on the rear of the phones, as well as the dot-matrix fonts, animations and software, are all back. Hardware design remains Nothing’s biggest strength. I get asked about the Nothing phone more than I do when I’m using the latest iPhone, Samsung’s foldables or anything else. It’s just different. The Phone 3a series now has a glass backing (upgraded from polycarbonate) and you can still see ****** fittings, electronics and a return of Nothing’s Glyph lighting system. The Phone 3a is rated IP64, adding better protection this year against rogue water sprays and liquid incidents. Image by Mat Smith for Engadget Nothing has once again rejigged the exposed hardware, and the Glyph lighting details are all at the top of the phone, circling the camera unit. On the Phone 3a Pro, courtesy of a new periscope sensor capable of 3X optical zoom, a substantial circular camera unit protrudes from the back. If you think the 3a Pro’s camera module looks chunky, it also adds roughly 10 grams to its weight compared to the base Nothing Phone 3a. But for camera obsessives, only one of these phones will hold your attention. (Although the blue iteration of the Nothing Phone 3a is gorgeous.) The Nothing Phone 3a Pro’s 50-megapixel telephoto sensor can stretch to 3x optical zoom, but it also includes a rather useable, in my early testing, lossless cropped 6x zoom. There’s also a 50MP primary sensor with f/1.88 lens, and dual-pixel phase detection auto-focus (PDAF). Nothing has crammed in an ultrawide 8MP sensor with a 120-degree field of view. The 3a Pro also has a telemacro mode and can combine focus as close as 15cm (5.9 inches) away with the zoom of the telephoto. It’s a feature that makes macro photography far more useful – and still rare on phones outside of China. The base model Phone 3a’s main 50MP camera has single-pixel PDAF, but otherwise keeps the same primary camera specs. Its telephoto stretches to 2x optical zoom, and a third ultrawide 8MP camera. While we’ll explore the camera more deeply in our review, my early impressions are positive. Images are crisp and Nothing has a knack for curated filters that look good. I especially like the frosted glass effect, which Nothing also offers for wallpaper customization. Image by Mat Smith for Engadget Nothing says its TrueLens Engine 3.0 combines AI-powered tone mapping with Ultra XDR, which it co-developed with Google, to tune photos. It involves a burst of 8 RAW images, which are all processed together to adjust the brightness of each pixel up to five times. Nothing’s image processing seems to lean towards punchy, high-contrast photos and video. The Phone 3a and Phone 3a Pro are otherwise identical in specs. Compared to the Nothing Phone 2a, both new devices have a ******* 6.77-inch AMOLED LTPS display, now using Panda Glass rather than Corning’s Gorilla Glass. As you might expect from most (but not all) phones, the 3a has an always-on display, can reach 120Hz refresh rates and it now hits 1,300 nits, making it brighter than the company’s last phone, too. Once again, the phones both have a big 5,000mAh battery and fast charging at up to 50W. According to Nothing, this means it should take less than an hour to charge the device entirely, while you should be able to get halfway there in 19 minutes. One of the only parts of the Nothing Phone 3a series that hints that they aren’t quite at a flagship level is their processor: a Snapdragon 7s Gen 3. We’ll put that chip through its paces in our review, but it is supposed to help with Nothing’s own custom software pecadillos, like the TrueLens Engine. The company says that chip makes the 3a series 92 percent better at AI processing than its predecessor. In a nod to both its OnePlus history and the recent trend for adding buttons, Nothing added its Essential Key to the Phone 3a, on the right edge below the power button. Oddly, it has a different finish to the rest of the machined buttons on the 3a and feels a bit cheaper. It works like an AI assistant launcher on other smartphones, like Samsung’s Gemini AI launcher, although the AI hooks come later. One press will capture and send content a screenshot to Nothing’s Essential Space app, while a longer press will start recording a voice note. You can also double-press to launch straight into the Essential Space app, which is a storage space for all those collections. Image by Mat Smith for Engadget Nothing uses the same AI tricks we’ve seen elsewhere; it just simplifies them. The Phone 3a will transcribe your voice notes, automate reminders, and even describe your photos and screenshots if needed. As I juggle work commitments, other writing projects, life and everything else, this is an intriguing soup of AI tools, storage and automation, all in a single place. This also seems to be Nothing’s equivalent of Android’s Labs setting. The company is teasing further functionality, such as focused search, flip-to-record, Camera Capture (using the Essential key while in the camera app), Smart Collections of all your notes and more. It seems to be the Notes equivalent of how Google Photos gives you quick and easy access to the images and videos you’re looking for. With the Phone 3a Pro’s software more broadly, Nothing OS is fun. Despite a learning curve in places, it’s playful. The icons, fonts, and animations across Nothing’s take on Android 15 add a refreshing touch of personality in a sea of smartphone sameness. Perhaps there are a few too many creative cooks, as Nothing’s decorative touches jostle with what I assume are Google’s baked-in fonts and menus. Some of the icons are hard to discern, too. After powering up the Phone 3a for the first time, a pixelated smiley face appeared on the home screen. I’d tap it and realize it does nothing. It turns out this is Nothing’s attempt at showing your screen time – but it doesn’t need to be a 2×2 widget. Image by Mat Smith for Engadget Other nice touches include a monochrome theme (on these monochrome phones), app label removal and a smart app drawer that corrals similar apps together for more straightforward navigation. Availability in the US will come through a Beta Program, like in previous years. The Phone 3a ($379) is available to preorder now in grey, ****** and blue, with devices landing March 11, while the Phone 3a Pro ($459) in ****** and grey, goes on preorder March 11 and launches March 25. In the ***, the company’s Nothing Store in London will be one of the first places to offer the phone directly, from 11AM GMT on March 8.

New Study Reveals How Pulsars Help Measure Dark Matter in the Milky Way New Study Reveals How Pulsars Help Measure Dark Matter in the Milky Way A new approach to measuring dark matter density in the Milky Way has been introduced by researchers from The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH). The study outlines how gravitational acceleration measurements from pulsars can provide insights into the distribution of dark matter in the galaxy. With an expanded dataset including solitary pulsars, scientists have been able to refine their findings, marking a significant advancement in astrophysical research. The ability to measure accelerations at an unprecedented scale has enabled the team to determine local dark matter density with greater accuracy. The findings suggest that in a volume equivalent to Earth, less than 1 kilogram of dark matter is present, highlighting its rarity despite its dominance in the universe’s total mass. Use of Solitary Pulsars for Dark Matter Measurement According to the study published on the arXiv preprint server, earlier research relied on binary millisecond pulsars to measure galactic acceleration. Dr. Sukanya Chakrabarti, Pei-Ling Chan Endowed Chair at UAH, explained to Phys.org that most pulsars exist as solitary objects rather than in pairs. By incorporating solitary pulsars into their methodology, the research team has effectively doubled the sample size available for analysis. This expansion allows for a more precise mapping of the Milky Way’s gravitational field, including its dark matter distribution. Galactic Wobble and Its Role in Measurement The study also delves into the effects of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) on the Milky Way. Dr. Chakrabarti told Phys.org that the LMC’s gravitational influence creates an imbalance in the Milky Way, leading to an observable wobble. This asymmetry has now been quantified for the first time through pulsar acceleration data. The impact of this gravitational interaction provides further evidence supporting the study’s findings on dark matter distribution. Addressing Magnetic Braking in Pulsar Acceleration Analysis A challenge in previous research was accounting for the spindown effect caused by magnetic braking in pulsars. Dr. Tom Donlon, a postdoctoral associate at UAH, explained to Phys.org that binary pulsars were initially used because their orbits remained unaffected by magnetic braking. The latest study has introduced a method to estimate magnetic braking effects with high accuracy, allowing solitary pulsars to be incorporated into acceleration measurements. This advancement broadens the scope of analysis and strengthens the reliability of the findings. Future Prospects in Dark Matter Research With the ability to measure accelerations as small as 10 cm/s per decade, the research team believes that mapping the dark matter distribution in the Milky Way with high precision is now within reach. Dr. Chakrabarti stated to Phys.org that while large accelerations near ****** holes and the galactic center have been measured in the past, this study marks the first time such small accelerations caused by dark matter have been directly observed. The findings contribute significantly to the ongoing efforts to understand the elusive nature of dark matter and its role in shaping the cosmos.

Nothing Phone 3a Pro First Impressions Nothing Phone 3a Pro First Impressions Nothing has finally introduced its latest Phone 3a series in India and globally. The all-new Phone 3a series brings a lot of improvements and intelligence over the Phone 2a, which was launched last year. This time, we have two models in this series, including the Nothing Phone 3a and Phone 3a Pro. While both devices offer almost the same set of features, the company has introduced its first Pro variant in the ‘a’ series. The Nothing Phone 3a Pro brings an updated rear panel, a new periscope lens, a new set of interesting AI features, and the popular Glyph interface. I got the chance to use the device for a brief *******, and here’s everything you need to know about the latest Nothing handset. Starting with the design language, the Nothing Phone 3a Pro sticks to the brand’s design philosophy. You get a transparent back panel, which is now made of glass. The device is available in two colour options, Gray and ******. I received the former for review, and it sure gives me those Nothing vibes. The handset comes with a transparent glass back and a large circular camera module. But what makes it stand out from the other Nothing smartphones is the large circular camera module. The brand says that it used such a protruding circular module to incorporate the periscope lens. You also get the Glyph Interface surrounding the camera module, which looks good. However, such a large camera module makes it a bit difficult to hold the device easily. Moreover, such a large camera module also makes it wobble a bit when you place it on a flat surface. Moving on, the frame looks sturdy. On the left, you have the volume control button, while the right has a power on/off button alongside a dedicated button to access the new Essential Space feature. At the bottom there is a SIM tray, a USB Type-C port, and a speaker grille. The Nothing Phone 3a Pro features a 6.77-inch Full HD+ AMOLED display with a 120Hz screen refresh rate. Coming to the display, the Nothing Phone 3a Pro has a large 6.77-inch Full HD+ flexible AMOLED panel. It is a 10-bit display offering a 120Hz screen refresh rate and up to 480Hz touch sampling rate, which can go up to 1,000Hz in gaming mode. It also features up to 3,000 nits of peak brightness, which is useful outdoors. The screen does look vibrant and sharp. I enjoyed watching a couple of HDR videos on this smartphone. Like its smaller sibling, the Nothing Phone 3a Pro is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 processor. The handset offers up to 12GB of RAM and up to 256GB of internal storage. The smartphone offers three years of Android and four years of security updates. The device runs Nothing OS 3.1, which is based on Android 15. The company promises three years of Android and four years of security updates with this device, which is quite standard in this price segment. That said, Nothing has added a new Essential Space feature, which is a one-stop solution to gather all sorts of data (screenshots, camera captures and more) that gets tagged for recall using AI. There is a dedicated Essential Key right next to the power button to access this feature. We will talk more about this feature in our upcoming review. The phone features a triple-camera setup on the rear panel with a periscope lens. Coming to the cameras, the Nothing Phone 3a Pro offers three rear-facing cameras. The handset features a 50-megapixel primary camera with f/1.8 aperture. It also packs a 50-megapixel periscope camera with 3x optical zoom, 6x in-sensor zoom, and 60x digital zoom. Apart from this, the handset also offers an 8-megapixel ultrawide camera. On the front, there’s a 50-megapixel sensor with f/2.2 aperture for selfies. As for the battery, the Nothing Phone 3a Pro features a 5,000mAh battery with 50W fast charging You also get an IP54 rating, which makes it splashproof. The Nothing Phone 3a Pro features 50W fast charging and packs a 5,000mAh battery. The Nothing Phone 3a Pro definitely looks like an interesting smartphone in the mid-range. The transparent rear panel and the large circular camera module surely attract attention, even though it makes it difficult to hold for a prolonged *******. While the device’s core hardware specifications seem satisfactory, I have yet to explore its full potential in various departments. That said, we will discuss all the features of the latest Nothing Phone 3a Pro in the review, so stay tuned.

At TEFAF Maastricht, A Course for Curators on Art Buying At TEFAF Maastricht, A Course for Curators on Art Buying Many major museum curators have Ph.D.s, and yet some are going back to school this month during an art fair in Maastricht, the Netherlands. Last year, the European Fine Art Foundation, the nonprofit organization that puts on the fair, held its first Curator Course. The coming second edition will have 10 participants from museums all over the world, including the Minneapolis Institute of Art, the Hong Kong Palace Museum and the Frans Hals Museum, based in the nearby Dutch city of Haarlem. The five-day course — unusual for an art fair — is intended for what TEFAF calls “emerging” curators. It includes lectures, panel discussions and mentoring sessions on topics ranging from insuring artworks to negotiating and fund-raising to acquire them, as well as a peek into TEFAF’s process for vetting objects. The curators’ museums pick up their expenses for the trip; there is no charge for the course itself. The idea is that although curators have expertise about the importance and history of the objects in their charge, some savvy about the buying and selling process is necessary when it comes to making acquisitions for their museums. “Most curators don’t have the opportunity to get involved in the market and learn about it,” said Paul van den Biesen, TEFAF’s head of museums and collectors. “We wanted to bridge that gap.” Van den Biesen conceived of the course. “We had an informal dinner after one of the board meetings,” he said. “Someone asked, ‘What would your dream for TEFAF be?’ And mine was to start a course for curators.” He runs it in partnership with Rachel Pownall, a professor of art and finance at Maastricht University, who leads the course with help from guest lecturers and specialists. She noted that for 2024, there were around 80 applications for the 10 spots. The Maastricht fair is known for attracting the leaders of art institutions. Last year, the fair logged visits from 525 museum directors and 622 museum curators. “The fair is sold on, ‘This is where the museums go to shop,’” said James Rolleston, a London dealer of English furniture and Asian works of art, particularly from China and Japan, who is exhibiting at this year’s event. In the 2024 class of the TEFAF Curator Course, some were veterans of the fair and others had never attended it. Katharina Weiler, a decorative arts curator at Museum Angewandte Kunst in Frankfurt, works with a collection of some 40,000 objects and did the course last year. “The job is preserving the existing collection, but it also means adding to the collection,” Weiler said. “What made me curious about the curator course is the insight into the art market and its players, and it gave me deeper insight into those dynamics.” Weiler had been to other art fairs but never to TEFAF Maastricht, and she knew it by reputation as a “must-go” fair, she said. Weiler was duly impressed, calling it a “playground of the most magnificent objects, all in one place.” By contrast, Ada de Wit, a curator of decorative art at the Cleveland Museum of Art, has been to every edition of the Maastricht fair since 2010. De Wit formerly worked at the Wallace Collection in London, which does not acquire new work, and it was her 2023 move to the Cleveland museum, which does collect, that made the course attractive. “I liked talking to dealers about how they see those transactions,” de Wit said. “It’s hard for museums to compete with private buyers, who can move much faster. There’s prestige in selling to a museum, but also risk.” De Wit did have some constructive feedback. “It’s a new course but I think they need to fine-tune the program by defining the target group,” she said. “It wasn’t always clear what the experience level of curators was supposed to be.” Overall, de Wit said the course was “a great initiative,” especially discussions about provenance, the history of an object’s whereabouts and ownership. “That’s increasingly important in the art world, especially in the decorative arts,” she said. Tara Contractor, an assistant curator of European painting and sculpture at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, will be taking the course. She is a British painting specialist whose Philadelphia museum role is her first curator job.Credit…Hollis Johnson/Center for Curatorial Leadership Tara Contractor, an assistant curator of European painting and sculpture at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, will be getting her first taste of the TEFAF fair as a participant in the course next week. “I’m pretty new to art fairs,” said Contractor, a British painting specialist whose Philadelphia museum role is her first curator job. She noted that in January she attended New York’s Winter Show, a fair with strength in traditional artworks. Even at a major institution like the Philadelphia Museum, her department would likely acquire a very small number of works in a year, she said. But she was already strategizing possible acquisitions from TEFAF, since dealers have already revealed some of their offerings. “I have my eye on some women artists,” Contractor said. “That’s a priority here these days. There are some works I’m excited by.” She declined to say which ones, lest she tip her hand to the competition. On the last day of this year’s course, the curators will make what the fair calls “acquisition presentations” to Wim Pijbes, formerly the director of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam and now TEFAF’s global chairman of vetting. It is the course’s equivalent of a final exam. “They learn to tell a narrative about how an acquisition will fit a collection,” Pownall, the Maastricht University professor, said. Weiler said that she did not initiate any acquisitions from her time at last year’s fair, noting that her museum is a publicly funded one. “I envied my American colleagues who came with a budget and went on a shopping tour,” she said. “It’s a very competitive market.” But she may have a chance to use some of the skills she learned in the coming months and years, particularly from the acquisition presentation exercise. She has her eye on a 13th-century reliquary casket from Limoges, France, that could be bought in honor of the museum’s 150th anniversary in 2027. Weiler, who also intends to be at the Maastricht fair next week, said, “If you really want something, you have to know how to convince others.” Source link #TEFAF #Maastricht #Curators #Art #Buying Pelican News View the full article at [Hidden Content] For verified travel tips and real support, visit: [Hidden Content]

What the Data Shows About Trump’s Immigration Policies and Deportations So Far What the Data Shows About Trump’s Immigration Policies and Deportations So Far President Trump’s drastic reshaping of immigration enforcement toward a goal of deporting millions has led to nearly 23,000 arrests and 18,000 deportations in the past month, federal data shows. Arrests inside the country are up sharply relative to the Biden administration, but they are below the levels seen when immigration agents made a show of force at the start of Mr. Trump’s term. Deportations have continued to lag. As a result, 4,000 more people are sitting in detention facilities than when Mr. Trump first took office. An additional 3,000 people who were detained have been released back into the country. ICE is arresting and detaining more people Daily average of new detentions in which ICE was the arresting authority Note: Figures are for book-ins to ICE detention in which ICE was the arresting agency. Some arrests do not lead to detention as the person may be released or immediately deported. Source: Immigration and Customs Enforcement The administration began its increased enforcement operations shortly after Mr. Trump was inaugurated, and ICE was quick to publicize the number of immigrants caught in its operations each day. People booked into detention by ICE — a rough measure of arrests — peaked at 872 people per day in late January before falling to just under 600 people per day in the first three weeks of February, data shows. This is a significant escalation from the Biden administration: ICE arrested and detained about 255 people each day last year. It also reveals the extent of a shift in immigration priorities under Mr. Trump to increase enforcement in the interior of the country. Deportations have not kept pace with arrests. ICE deported an average of 600 people a day in mid-February, the latest data available, compared with more than 750 people a day in the 12 months through November. ICE is deporting fewer people than last year The drop in deportations is due in part to a simultaneous change in border policy. During the Biden administration, a majority of people detained and deported were arrested crossing the southwestern border. But the Trump administration moved to quickly close the border, ending the asylum process and other Biden-era programs that offered migrants humanitarian relief. Now, border agents are arresting far fewer people than last year and sending fewer migrants to ICE for detention and eventual deportation. (It is not clear how many people are being removed directly from the border, since that data has not been published since Mr. Trump took office.) More people are being held in ICE detention Total detained population by arresting authority Even though arrests at the border are down, the aggressive push to detain immigrants elsewhere in the country has filled detention facilities above the capacity Congress set for funding. The total number of people in ICE detention has grown by more than 4,000 in the last month, to nearly 44,000. At the same time, far fewer immigrants are being paroled or released than in the first few weeks of the Trump administration and during the Biden administration. Releases from ICE detention have dropped in recent weeks Note: Figures are for book-outs from ICE detention in which the detainee was granted bond and released, either by ICE or an immigration judge, or released after making a promise to meet certain conditions. Source: Immigration and Customs Enforcement Under President Joseph R. Biden Jr., many people who were not considered a threat to the community or a flight risk were allowed to leave detention under certain conditions, but this practice has nearly ended. ICE stopped granting parole to detainees almost entirely in late February. A small number are still being released from detention after paying a bond or promising to meet certain conditions. A growing share of people detained by ICE have no criminal record The administration has said its strategy is focused on detaining and deporting criminals, and a majority of those in detention have been convicted of a crime. But data shows the share of people detained with no criminal charges has grown to 16 percent from 6 percent in mid-January. Some members of the administration, including Tom Homan, the ICE director, have expressed frustration that the enforcement numbers are not higher as they seek to deliver on one of Mr. Trump’s signature promises. At the current pace, the administration does not appear on track to detain and deport millions of people this year, but the numbers could still rise quickly. Republicans in Congress have proposed billions in new funding for ICE and other agencies, and Mr. Trump has moved to expand the military’s role in immigration enforcement.
