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.

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.

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.
