Mitsubishi Electric Begins Supplying Traction Systems for Nederlandse Spoorwegen's Double-Decker New Generation Trains
Mitsubishi Electric expects to supply NS with traction systems for 266 trains (1,006 cars) by 2031, including equipment for 206 trains (706 cars) in NS's Sprinter New Generation (SNG) trains supplied separately through 2022 under contracts awarded by CAF in 2015 and 2019. The equipment supplied by Mitsubishi Electric for the SNG trains has been in commercial operation since 2018. The systems' track record of contributing to safe and reliable rail operations in the Dutch market played a crucial role in CAF and NS selecting Mitsubishi Electric to supply traction systems for the new DDNG trains.
In a related development, MEDCOM Sp. Z o.o., a Polish manufacturer of railcar traction systems in which Mitsubishi Electric is a capital partner, was awarded a contract to supply DDNG trains with auxiliary power supply units. Mitsubishi Electric has been working closely with MEDCOM since 2015 to strengthen its customer network in Europe.
Going forward, Mitsubishi Electric remains committed to contributing to safe and reliable railway operations in the European market.

José Andrés's Iconic Steakhouse Announces Its Opening Date
Since opening at the very north end of the Strip in 2014, José Andrés's Bazaar Meat has distinguished itself as one of the best steakhouses in the U.S. — and one of the most distinctive in Las Vegas's ever-evolving culinary scene. The steakhouse closed at the Sahara on Thursday, July 31, ahead of its move to a new home. The José Andrés Group told Eater that Bazaar Meat will reopen at the Palazzo at the Venetian Resort on September 4. Bazaar Meat's new location will sit on the lower level of the Palazzo, in the former home of the restaurant-cum-car museum Dal Toro Ristorante — part of the Venetian's $1.5 billion reinvestment project. 'I really think what is happening with the Venetian will change the Las Vegas landscape as a whole, in particular, on the food and beverage side,' Sam Bakhshandehpour, global CEO for the José Andrés Group, says. 'So for us to be at the forefront of that and be one of the leaders coming into this property, we thought it was the right time to make the move over to Venetian.' The relocation south to a more central section of the Strip also puts the restaurant in closer proximity to the resort's sprawling convention space, the Sphere, and a more heavily trafficked gaming floor. 'This is a mix of all walks of life coming to the property,' Bakhshandehpour says. The restaurant will debut an entirely new design while maintaining the dramatic live-fire grills that helped establish Bazaar Meat as a temple of theatrical carnivory. Much of the original staff is making the move as well, meaning longtime guests can expect to see familiar faces behind the bar and on the floor. The tasting menus — which often span a dozen or more courses — will return with José Andrés classics like crispy caviar cones, beefsteak tartare, and the signature Washugyu bone-in rib-eye, a crossbreed of Japanese Tajima wagyu and Black Angus. Executive chef Frank Medina will also introduce new menu items to complement the restaurant's new space, though the team is keeping those under wraps for now. Louiie Victa By next year, the Venetian will be a veritable steakhouse destination, with Emeril Lagasse's Delmonico Steakhouse, Wolfgang Puck's Cut, and a two-story Smith & Wollensky already in place. Michelin-starred Cote is on track to open this year in a 10,000-square-foot space, and Southern California's Boa Steakhouse will join the Grand Canal Shoppes. But Bakhshandehpour isn't concerned about standing out. 'Bazaar Meat is a twist on a meat experience like no other,' he says. 'It's rooted in Spanish. You have incredible meats from around the world that you can't get anywhere else.' That includes the whole suckling pig, slow-roasted over an open flame, and the intensely marbled Spanish vaca vieja from older cows. Other dishes on the menu have become icons of their own, like the jamón Ibérico tacos on delicate nori, foie gras swaddled in a puff of cotton candy, and croquetas de pollo served in a translucent sneaker. Reservations are now open ahead of Bazaar Meat's September 4 opening. In the meantime, Andrés's Bazaar Mar will offer a special menu of Bazaar Meat favorites to tide fans over until the reopening. Back at the Sahara, Bazaar Meat's former home will soon become chef Kwame Onwuachi's Maroon, a Caribbean steakhouse and his first Las Vegas restaurant. The Las Vegas steakhouse has been central to the city's identity for decades, and Bazaar Meat has helped define its modern form — a genre that continues to evolve. Now, as both the city and the steakhouse tradition keep shifting, Bazaar Meat is stepping onto an even bigger stage.

Teach yourself a new language (or 25) for a lifetime
New York Post may be compensated and/or receive an affiliate commission if you click or buy through our links. Featured pricing is subject to change. TL;DR: Rosetta Stone is shaking up language learning this summer with a lifetime subscription for all 25 languages at just $179.99 (reg. $399). That means for roughly the cost of one semester at a language school, you get lifetime access to the full language library—un vol, if you will. Language lovers can choose from more than two dozen options—Spanish, French, Mandarin, Arabic, Italian, German, even Tagalog or Latin—without worrying about monthly fees or renewals. This up‑front one‑time price unlocks immediate access to everything, making it an ultra cost‑effective alternative to traditional courses or recurring subscriptions. What makes Rosetta Stone stand out is its immersive learning methodology. Called Dynamic Immersion, lessons begin with simple image–word associations, just like how a child learns their first language, and slowly build into interactive, contextual units where learners speak, write, and select from images to reinforce vocabulary and grammar without translation. Users hear native speakers and respond, strengthening comprehension before ever seeing a translation pop up. Helping all this stick is Rosetta Stone's patented speech‑recognition technology, TruAccent, which analyzes pronunciation up to 100 times per second and gives instant feedback to help hone accent and clarity. This real‑time correction is critical for learners aiming to sound natural and not just memorize vocabulary. It's not just hype: Rosetta Stone has earned the PC Magazine Editors' Choice Award for five years in a row and is trusted by institutions such as NASA, Calvin Klein, and TripAdvisor. Such backing underscores its proven effectiveness for both casual learners and professionals. When compared to traditional classroom courses, which might cost hundreds per language per term, Rosetta Stone's one‑time price is a bargain. At under $6 per language, it's a compelling option for anyone wanting to dive into multiple languages without breaking the bank. Overall, the lifetime access to a vast language library, coupled with its immersive methodology, cutting‑edge pronunciation tech, and validation from reputable organizations, makes Rosetta Stone a cost‑effective and enjoyable way to explore up to 25 languages at your own pace. If you've ever wanted to wow friends by ordering dinner in Portuguese, negotiate prices in Taipei, or confidently travel through Morocco, this may be the most fun and practical investment you'll ever make in yourself.
