Car Talk / BMW Deploying Self- Driving 7 Series Fleet To Roads This Year by manuel80(m): 12:59pm On Jan 23, 2017 |
BMW AG will dispatch a fleet of autonomous vehicles to U.S. and European cities in this year’s second half, the next step in its partnership with Mobileye NV and Intel Corp. to introduce fully self-driving vehicles by 2021. The German automaker will put 40 of its 7 Series sedans on the road and train them to drive in urban areas, Klaus Froehlich, BMW’s head of development, said in an interview. The goal is to apply the gathered data toward producing the iNext, which will supplant the 7 Series as the BMW brand’s flagship model and be capable of full autonomy four years from now. Automakers and technology companies are rushing to form partnerships to compete against the likes of Alphabet Inc.’s Google, which has clocked 2 million self-driving miles on public roads, and Tesla Motors Inc., with 1.3 billion miles of data from Autopilot- equipped vehicles. BMW is appealing to other carmakers to adopt its approach to help shoulder research costs, speed development by sharing data and ensure they don’t become also-rans. “Those who reach the finish line before you will have their tech become the basis of standardization,” Amnon Shashua, Mobileye’s co-founder and chief technology officer, said in an interview. “This is why sharing is important.” BMW will be following Uber Technologies Inc. and Volvo Cars in putting autonomous cars on the road, with the latter two companies partnering on test vehicles in Pittsburgh and Arizona. Other carmakers have been reluctant so far to heed BMW’s call for adopting its platform. Rival Daimler AG has said it prefers to develop its own technology. Mobileye shares rose as much as 4.4 percent to the highest intraday in three months and traded at $42.12 as of 1:12 p.m. in New York. http://m.guardian.ng/technology/bmw-deploying-self-driving-7-series-fleet-to-roads-this-year/

Education / "Constituted Authority": Ajimobi Begs LAUTECH Students by manuel80(m): 8:10am On Jan 19, 2017 |
After suffering heavy backlash from Nigerians for asking students of Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH) to their worst, Oyo state governor Abiola Ajimobi has apologized to the students of the school. The governor’s special assistant on youths and students Afeez Bolaji a.k.a Repete in a Facebook post apologized for the governor’s reaction. He said the governor who has now become a laughing stock on social media reacted due to provocation by the students. “He is not perfect, many critics will do worst if they happen to be in his shoes,” he wrote. Mr Bolaji who himself is a product of LAUTECH said his loyalty lies with the government but “ greater loyalty lies with the institution.” It would be recalled that governor Ajimobi once asked secondary school students in Oyo state to beg him after their schools were shut. He also wished the students "happy resumption in advance" an indication that the school might resume academic activities soon. https://politics.naij.com/1083003-constituted-authority-ajimobi-begs-lautech-students.html

Health / How To Recognize A Stroke: New Indicator by manuel80(m): 2:42pm On Jan 17, 2017 |
Stroke has a new indicator! They say if you forward this to ten people, you stand a chance of saving one life. Blood Clots/Stroke - They Now Have a Fourth Indicator, the Tongue: During a BBQ, a woman stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone that she was fine (they offered to call paramedics) ...she said she had just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes. They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food. While she appeared a bit shaken up, Jane went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening. Jane's husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital - (at 6:00 PM Jane passed away.) She had suffered a stroke at the BBQ. Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps Jane would be with us today. Some don't die. They end up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead. It only takes a minute to read this. A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke... totally. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough. RECOGNIZING A STROKE Thank God for the sense to remember the '3' steps, STR. Read and Learn! Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke. Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions: S *Ask the individual to SMILE. T *Ask the person to TALK and SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently) (i.e. Chicken Soup) R *Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS. If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call emergency number immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher. New Sign of a Stroke -------- Stick out Your Tongue NOTE: Another 'sign' of a stroke is this: Ask the person to 'stick' out his tongue. If the tongue is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the other that is also an indication of a stroke. A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this sends it to 10 people; you can bet that at least one life will be saved. http://www.snopes.com/medical/disease/stroke.asp dominique sissy3 lalasticlala |
