The new model will be built at Honda’s Performance Manufacturing Center in Marysville, Ohio. Honda has previously said that battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and FCEVs will represent 100 percent of its global auto sales by 2040. “Hydrogen fuel cell has big potential to change the game from environmental and technological perspectives, but unfortunately, there has been little focus on hydrogen product and infrastructure development. Instead, the industry has chosen battery-electric vehicles as the way forward and that’s where the majority of attention for development and build-out is,” Paul Waatti, manager of industry analysis at AutoPacific told Newsweek....

Will customers pony up to be pitched? Already the show has logged hundreds of calls and advance ticket sales from locales as distant as California and New York. As many as 100,000 visitors are expected, and similar shows in Tokyo and Berlin annually attract several times that number.

The Education Bureau of China’s Hong Kong Special Administrative Region accused the teacher of committing a premeditated act in violation of Hong Kong’s Basic Law, its de facto constitution that protects freedom of assembly and freedom of speech—neither of which exist in mainland China.

That’s the hook, farfetched but catchy, of Adrian Lyne’s Indecent Proposal. Granted, it’s the same hook as “Honeymoon in Vegas,” but you can bet the serious fellow who brought you “Flashdance,” “Fatal Attraction” and “9 1/2 Weeks” isn’t going to stock his movie with flying Elvises. Too bad: this solemn clunker could have used something that flew- wit, Wallendas, woodpeckers or maybe a decent plot. To be fair, there is a helicopter that whisks Moore off to Redford’s yacht for her million-dollar night....

As I sat down at the iconic King David Hotel with the group, I noticed that they were engaged in quite animated (albeit polite) conversation and heated debate, which was casually interrupted with the occasional request to pass a dish across the table.

“I’ve seen Megan Rapinoe almost bully players into kneeling because she really wants to stand up for something in her particular way, but it’s our right as Americans to do it in whatever way we’re comfortable with,” she said while on All of Us: The U.S. Women’s Soccer Show last Tuesday. She described kneeling during the anthem as “divisive.” “I do appreciate the fact that there’s no national anthem right before the game to really remove that decision from athletes,” she said....

Major dailies, TV networks and magazine reporters now flock to her stable....

The NYC Board of Elections (BOE) announced Tuesday that it had made an error when tabulating the ranked-choice results for the Democratic mayoral race, accidentally including approximately 135,000 test ballots that hadn’t been removed from the system’s software.

Speaking to Fox News host Sean Hannity, Rep. McCarthy said: “You’re right about this being an important election, but it’s more important than you’ve watched in the past. “Because if we do not win this election, I don’t know we’ll ever have an opportunity to win it again, because they will change the rules of the game....

The bipartisan legislation triples the forgiveness window for borrowers to use the funds from eight weeks to 24 weeks. It also eased a restriction on how small businesses could use the loan money. Under the House bill, businesses would only have to use 60 percent of the loan to cover payroll. The other 40 percent could be used for other expenses, like rent and utilities. The Trump administration has so far required businesses to spend at least 75 percent of the money on payrolls if they want the full amount of the loan to be forgiven....
