Intel is buying a 15% stake in the mapping service Here for an undisclosed amount, reports the Verge. The company will work with Here to develop mapping systems that can pinpoint a vehicle's location 'within centimeters' for aiding autonomous cars. The deal is pending regulatory approval.
Interestingly, Intel had recently said it would spend $250 million to develop self-driving cars. While the company would not develop its own cars, it would look to power certain aspects of the technology with context to "connectivity, communication, context awareness, deep learning, security and safety." The company also builds drones for industrial jobs,and while these are currently manually controller, mapping and pinpoint locations will be mandatory for automating these technologies.
Here Maps was previously acquired by an automotive industry consortium including Audi AG, BMW Group and Daimler AG, from Nokia for over $3 billion in August 2015. The consortium was also looking for a cloud computing partner to help manage the data collected by HERE and its cars, and subsequently had Amazon and Microsoft pick up minority stake in HERE, likely to fill this gap. With Intel now onboard, the consortium also has a hardware manufacturer to help develop the product.
Note that Intel has started investing heavily in the fields of machine learning, automated vehicles, VR and other upcoming technologies, after missing out on the previous digital revolution – mobiles. In November Intel started providing specialized computer chips to Delphi, an auto supplier, and Mobileye, an Israeli company that specializes in vision systems for automated vehicles. The company also acquired Voke in November, a company that makes VR cameras for live sports, and Movidius in September, a startup that makes vision chips for drones and VR.In August, it acquired Nervana, a cloud based deep learning company for $400 million.

Wilde Life: the official Kim Wilde fansite
Meeting Kim Wilde
Telereporter (UK)
Tabitha Potts (aged 12)
Watch out for Thames Television's film all about superstar Kim Wilde on Friday 31st December at 4.45pm. We sent young Tabitha Potts along to talk to her...
When I was driving to the studios to interview Kim Wilde I had no idea what she would be like. I knew her records but I hadn't seen her, so I expected her to be very glamorous with a punky hairdo. Instead she was quite ordinary, dressed in black trousers, a black T-shirt and her hair was a bit untidy. Which wasn't surprising as she told us she had been doing interview since twelve o'clock that day, and I went at five.
I asked her how she felt after her first tour. She sad it had been wonderful. But she had travelled with a band of seven, and although it was a great success she didn't expect to pay for the costs, but "I loved to see all these people who have been buying my records and sending me letters and things. It's wonderful to be loved by a lot of strangers."
Kim is twenty-one now, and been a singer "since I was about your age. From when I was very young, it was always music. I was in a choir first of all, then I joined a music club. I was into anything musical, and of course so was my family." If she hadn't become a singer, what would she like to have been? "A journalist perhaps. I always liked English, but when I tried it I didn't have the economy of words."
Kim said she didn't care much about clothes, she's worn the same black trousers all through her tour, but she enjoyed shopping in Oxfam and Help the Aged shops, where she could find everything in one place, clothes, records, books etc. She enjoyed watching TV and reading, and has always wanted to keep an aquarium "but I don't have much spare time. I'm nearly always working."
How did she make it to the top so quickly?
"Well, my brother and my Dad both wrote songs, and then my brother got a deal with R.A.K. and I used to come into the studio doing backing vocals, then one day they thought I could try one on my own."
When I asked if she preferred touring to studio work, she said: "yes, in many ways I do, but there are some things I can do in a studio which I can't do on stage. I like harmonising with myself, and I can't do that touring."
Had she had any embarrassing moments?
"Yes, when touring you move from place to place so fast it's hard to remember where you are. So we arrived in Birmingham and for some reason I thought we were in Manchester. So when I went on stage I was saying 'Hello Manchester', and thought 'that's funny, I don't seem to be getting any response.' When I went backstage someone said, 'It's Birmingham, you chump', so I had to rush out and apologise. They say it happens to evone touring at least once.'
What advice would she offer for anyone who was starting off in a singing career. It was hard to say. "I was very lucky. I had a father and brother both writing songs, wonderful songs, so I was brought up in music. I think anyone has to be totally dedicated, to really love music and work at it and be enthusiastic, that's the most important thing."
Kim Wilde is a lovely, friendly person and I'm going to join her fan club, but I felt a bit sorry for her when she answered my last question - I said "What would you buy if you had £20,000?" and she answered "£20,000's worth of time." Being a star does have its drawbacks, it seems!

US to ramp up rapid deportations with sweeping new rule
The Trump administration said on July 22 it will expand and speed up deportations of migrants who enter the United States illegally by stripping away court oversight, enabling officials to remove people in days rather than months or years.
Set to be published in the Federal Register on July 23, the rule will apply "expedited removal" to the majority of those who enter the United States illegally, unless they can prove they have been living in the country for at least two years.
Legal experts said it was a dramatic expansion of a program already used along the U.S.-Mexican border that cuts out review by an immigration judge, usually without access to an attorney. Both are available in regular proceedings.
"The Trump administration is moving forward into converting ICE (Immigrations and Customs Enforcement) into a 'show me your papers' army," said Vanita Gupta, the president of The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, on a call with reporters.
It was likely the policy would be blocked quickly by a court, several experts said. The American Civil Liberties Union, which has filed suit to block numerous Trump immigration policies in court, has vowed to sue.
President Donald Trump has struggled to stem an increase of mostly Central American families arriving at the U.S.-Mexico border, leading to overcrowded detention facilities and a political battle over a growing humanitarian crisis.
The government said increasing rapid deportations would free up detention space and ease strains on immigration courts, which face a backlog of more than 900,000 cases.
Nearly 300,000 of the approximately 11 million immigrants in the United States illegally could be quickly deported under the new rule, according to the nonpartisan Migration Policy Institute.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said 37%, or 20,570, of those encountered by ICE in the year to September had been in the country less than two years.
People in rapid deportation proceedings are detained for 11.4 days on average, according to DHS. People in regular proceedings are held for 51.5 days and are released into the United States for the months or years it takes to resolve their cases.

There is actually a profanity in that quote, but I opted not to share it here. You might be hard-pressed to find a more quoted General in the modern era or a General more beloved by his men than General James Mattis. But if you think General James Mattis to be nothing but a blunt, tough speaking Marine, you might be surprised that this man was one of the intellectual giants of modern military leadership.
On all his deployments he carried with him in his pocket the readings of Marcus Aurelius to remind him that what he faced in combat was nothing new. His library of books would shame the greatest of historians, and he would exit the modern era as one of the most talked about Generals of his time.
James Mattis would receive his commission as a second Lieutenant in the United States Marine Corps in 1972. And while the timing of his commission would lead him to miss out on the fighting in Vietnam, his was a career made for combat. As a young Lieutenant, he would serve as both a rifle and weapons platoon commander with the Third Marine Division.
Gradually progressing through the ranks during a relatively peaceful time for the United States Marine Corps, James Mattis would use this time to study the art of war and ensure that the day he was called into combat that he would take the sum of military history with him.
As a Lieut. Col., Mattis would command the first Battalion Seventh Marines during the Persian Gulf war. During his first field command in combat, Mattis proved a capable leader and exceptional motivator of Marines when it mattered most. After the Gulf War, General Mattis would continue to prove that he is the type of leader who deserves to be adored by his men. Former Commandant of the Marine Corps General Krulak will often tell the story of when he made his annual trip to visit every Marine duty post around Washington on Christmas Day.
When General Krulak arrived at the Marine Corps combat development command headquarters at Quantico, Krulak asked a young enlisted Marine, who was the officer of the day. The young Marine replied it is Brigadier General Mattis. Confused as Generals didn't stand duty on Christmas, the Commandant asked again and specifically asked who slept in that cot as the officer of the day. The Marine again replied, sir, it was Brigadier General Mattis.
At that point, General Mattis walked around the corner and explained that a young officer with a family was originally scheduled for duty on Christmas Day. And to General Mattis, he thought why should this Marine miss out on time with his family when he could stand post in his stead.
As remarkable as it was for a General to stand duty on Christmas Day, General Mattis' true greatness would await him in the coming global wars on terrorism.
It was General Mattis who coined the phrase that there is no better friend or no worse enemy than the United States Marine. During Afghanistan, he would see to it that his Marines knew the mission at hand. He was regularly seen on the front lines with his Marines during the conflict, and many remarked they wouldn't be surprised to awake in the morning to find him in a foxhole.
While no one would have thought less of General Mattis had he led from the rear, he saw it his duty to inspire his officers to lead from the front.
Gen. James Mattis would actually be counseled over his last quote as the military hierarchy saw it as a little too much Patton and a little less diplomatic for the modern era. However, it would be the long war in Iraq where General Mattis would have the greatest impact. General Mattis would command the 1st Marine Division during the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
General Mattis would go on to serve with continued distinction in Iraq and would subsequently find himself placed in positions of high command within the military. A Lieut. General, Mattis would take command of the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force based out of Camp Pendleton California. In 2007, he was promoted to full General and given charge of US Joint Forces Command in Norfolk. And while many had hoped General Mattis would become the next Commandant of the Marine Corps, he was recommended by Defense Secretary Robert Gates to replace Gen. David Petraeus as Commander of United States Central Command, which oversaw the Middle East.
And while the General was beloved by the Marines who served under him and widely respected as an intellectual giant in military circles, the outspoken General would soon find himself out of place with a civilian leadership who opted for calmer rhetoric.
It is reported that General Mattis found out that he was being relieved of Central Command by the press. Regardless, it led to his subsequent retirement in 2013.
Perhaps the General who once said, "Find the enemy that wants to end this experiment in American democracy and kill every one of them until they are so sick of the killing that they leave us and our freedoms intact" was too much for others to handle.
One can only hypothesize what General Patton would have added to the great quotes of military history had he lived on long past the war. But with General James "Mad Dog" Mattis, there was never a moment where he left the world wondering what he was thinking. An intellectual giant loved by the Marines whom he saw it his duty to serve with tough love, perhaps this man is indeed the General Patton of the modern era.
But that is for history and posterity to decide.

Slime Diego
Tue, Jul 19, 2005 ~ Bob Morris
San Diego is so awash in political corruption it's becoming comical.
San Diego's interim mayor convicted of wire fraud
A federal jury convicted San Diego's interim mayor and a councilman on conspiracy and wire fraud charges on Monday, the latest scandal in a city that has witnessed the resignation of its mayor and federal probes into the mishandling of its pension fund.
Interim Mayor Michael Zucchet was convicted on his first official day in office and immediately suspended.
Mayor Dick Murphy announced [who Zucchet replaced] in April he was resigning after Time magazine named him one of the three worst big-city mayors in the United States.
Then there's Randy Cunningham, San Diego's member of the House who deserves to and probably will be indicted due to his exceptional stupidity and greed.
For the first time in a great while, Rep. Randy "Duke" Cunningham has done something that benefits all of his constituents and not just himself: He's called an end to his political career.
Smart move, Duke. It's about time.
The San Diego Republican was operating under a dark ethical cloud after it became known that he sold his home at an inflated price to a federal defense contractor, which, in turn, resold the house for $700,000 less.

The film is a biographical documentary about the life of primatologist and conservationist Jane Goodall starting from 1960 until present day. You'll view never-before-seen footage that has been tucked away in the National Geographic archives for over 50 years. Writer/director Brett Morgen tells the story of a woman whose chimpanzee research challenged the male-dominated scientific consensus of her time and changed our understanding of the natural world.
We witness Goodall as gradually coexists in the animal world of the chimpanzee community. She's excruciatingly patient, offering smiles, an outreach of her hand or a slight petting of fur while the chimps study her. Her detailed drawings, notes, schedules-all provide valuable, insightful information to the scientific world.
Here's a family-friendly winner of a film for all ages to enjoy! It won the Broadcast Film Critic's Choice Award for Best Documentary and should be nominated for an Oscar for Best Documentary.
You can't help but love this heartfelt film of her dedication to animals and all of the world.

The productive moving of the soul is controlled by a series of efficiently-synchronised electricity impulses and processes. In relation, this newspaper will concentration on the procedure for cardiac lean muscle contraction and enjoyment. This paper will before anything else give you a conversation on the significant contractile elements of the cardiac body, followed by an search from the particular activities linked to cardiac muscle group contraction.
Any sarcomere, the fundamental component of your cardiac dietary fibre, is made up of contractile elements that enable the contraction about the stated fibers, as well as its stretchy get back to the relaxing assert. These contractile things comprise of myosin, or use the dense filament, that contain consistently-spaced globular heads combined its distance. A further contractile ingredient is actin, also know as the thin filaments, that is comprised of two proteins strands interwoven for an alpha-helix within the myosin filaments.
Other regulatory variables also consist of the sarcomere, which include tropomyosin, a increase helix stitched inside the lines between the interlocked actin filaments. This operates in blocking the contraction about the sarcomere even though it is within the resting assert, from the inhibition with the contact involving actin and also the myosin heads. One other regulatory factor is troponin, which is made up of several subunits positioned routinely through the actin strands. These subunits are: a) Troponin T, which attaches the troponin sophisticated to tropomyosin and actin; b) Troponin C, which binds calcium ions and trigger the process of contraction; and c) Troponin I, which inhibits the activity of ATPase into the conversation of myosin and actin.1 Find 1 throughout the Appendix demonstrates to a photo of this sarcomere, the normal contractile system of your muscle from the center.
With the cardiac fibres, contraction is made prospective using the entire process of excitation-contraction coupling. The process is established by the influx of Ca2 through the cellular, resulting in a change in the conformation with the ryanodine receptors positioned over the T-tubules for the sarcomere. This change in conformation will cause even further discharge of Ca2 looking at the ample sites while in the sarcoplasmic reticulum. These high amount of Ca2 throughout the intracellular milieu then combine with Troponin C, creating the inhibition of Troponin I, or perhaps a alteration in the conformation of tropomyosin, in that way disclosing the active web-site linking myosin and actin.
On this conformational transition, the myosin heads get connected to the occupied internet sites for the actin filaments. This connection then steps the myosin along side actin filament, contributing to the contraction for this cardiac roughage. But, this reaction is subject to ATP, by which hydrolysis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) by a ATPase on myosin creates the formation of a crossbridge amongst the proactive place of actin as well as the myosin brain, resulting in the second option to drag alone around the actin filament. This motions on the myosin scalp is a whole process referred to as performance cerebrovascular accident The synchronized event on the performance cerebrovascular accident or cva in a lot of interconnected body fabric cause a synchronised contraction of this coronary heart muscle mass.
The contraction for this cardiac muscle fiber is began through the influx of calcium mineral directly into the mobile phone, and drastically requires the conversation anywhere between myosin and actin. In truth, powerful contraction about the heart and soul consists of a highly-synchronised exercise of ions and meats inside cardiac musculature.

The powder compaction modeling of advanced sintering techniques such as spark plasma sintering is a crucial step in the conception of complex shape objects and the understanding of the process. The complete identification of common powder compaction models requires lengthy experimental investigations based on creep and compaction tests. In order to circumvent this problem, a semi-theoretical approach can be employed whereby the mechanical behavior of the powder material is determined theoretically and the temperature-dependent equivalent creep behavior of the material is determined experimentally.

So we are getting hit with major wet snow in the west right now, and I noticed my driver and passenger side floors are wet this morning when I got in the rover.
Last summer I replaced the sunroof drains as they had both deteriorated and had fallen out of their body holes. I used the method described elsewhere on this forum, where you cut the bad elbow off, use a quick-connect coupler, and reattach an OEM drain elbow. All seemed to be fine upon repair, even poured water on the sunroof and saw the water coming out the correct spots with no wetness on the floor. I then used a leaf blower to dry out the floors with the carpets lifted up for several hours to get everything back in order.
So coming into a wet LR3 today was pretty disheartening. Anyone seen something similar, and found that it was perhaps another cause—maybe a bad sunroof seal or something?
Once the snow subsides I may just take the whole thing apart again and install new drains with no couplers. They should be working, but something's amiss. I can check that the elbows haven't fallen out of their body holes first—hoping it's something as simple as that.
Any guidance or advice would be appreciated!
The tubes themselves may be an issue, also there are drains in the C pillars as well IIRC.
Interesting--I didn't know about the C pillar drains. I assume C pillars are in the very back, next to the rear tailgate. I don't see any dampness back there.
Hoping they just fell out or something, but doubt that both would fall out, made pretty certain they were fully seated when I had everything apart.
I'll post back and see what I find.
You may need a new cowl (large plastic part that your wipers sit over. My LR4 had similar leaks and it was the cowl (old and warped) - I literally just put a new one on my LR3 yesterday as well. Also, there is an AC drain plug for condensation that can get clogged up and leak onto your floors. It sits up behind the center console near the floor.
Ah interesting. This could be it. Did you find the floor of both the driver and passenger side wet due to the cowl issue?
If I remember correctly both sides were wet but I do believe the passenger side was much more so. Also, if you replace the cowl you'll need new clips for the A pillar trim that go over each side of the windshield - those have to be removed to replace the cowl. I think there are 5 clips on each side. The cowl should come with new clips if you buy genuine Land Rover. I went with genuine LR for the cowl and clips and paid about $105 shipped from Lucky 8.
You do not have to remove the A pillar trim. The cowl is easy to do. Think very hard about putting a piece of flashing over the HVAC intake when you have access to it OR using sealant on the cowl itself. They all warp over time.
When I get back from this work trip this week, I'll check the cabin filter to confirm.
HVAC intake is a flat opening covered by the windshield cowl. Can't recall much about it other than it will be clear to you what it is when you see it, and you will see how there is potential for water ingress there IF the cowl does warp in that spot.
What people have done (and I would do if I was there again and knew in another 10 or so years I would need to fit a new cowl) was make a piece of flashing (essentially a sheet metal shield roughly the size of the hvac opening), and sort of place it right above the opening between where the windshield ends. Imagine you want to create a little roof over that area so that if the cowl warps again and water sheets down into that area you have coverage over the opening and it will just continue to run down into the drainage areas and not trickle into the hvac intake. You could use sealant, you could use pop rivets on the bit of sheet metal below the windshield etc.
Alternatively, now that you know where the area is, you could also use sealant between the cowl and the glass in that area and make sure they stay stuck together (not foolproof but people do it).
Ah, this makes perfect sense now. Just saw the Youtube vid link posted above and I now see exactly what you're saying. Seems like a simple thing to do--will just need to ensure that the cowling sits flush (and seals again) with the cover made for the HVAC intake.
Not a bad idea either. As mentioned, we get a ton of snow here, and when it's wet snow (Sierra Cement, they call it), the wipers have a hard time pushing it down when swinging back towards the cowl, it will build up there. I can imagine it's probably packing the snow right between the cowl and windshield... This is appearing to be the main culprit.
Again, I really appreciate your help! Thank you so much for the clarification.
Another +1 for the cowl, helped my water issue quite a bit.
Also check to make sure the plastic trim on the exterior of the A pillar is secured properly. Underneath that trim are multiple holes that can allow water to drain inside the vehicle. Over time those plastic washers became very frail on my RRS, so I'd imagine the LR3 could suffer a similar fate.
Awesome, thank you for this. I'll check when I'm in there with the cowl replacement. It just arrived this week and expecting some warmish dry weather this weekend.

Drug ring busted
Carl Hessler
For The Reporter
NORRISTOWN -- Dubbed "Operation Heads Up," a coalition of regional crimefighters used wiretaps to dismantle a cocaine-trafficking ring that targeted Montgomery, Chester and Philadelphia counties.
Simultaneous raids by 72 law enforcement officers at 21 locations in the three counties on May 18 resulted in the seizure of four pounds of cocaine with a street value of $204,800; 14 vehicles; a 19-foot-long fishing boat from a storage facility in Collegeville; more than $76,000 in cash; and 12 firearms, authorities revealed on Wednesday.
"There is a history of violence in drug trafficking. There was significant firepower that was available to them," alleged Montgomery County District Attorney Risa Vetri Ferman.
Ferman, who was joined at a news conference by about a dozen law enforcement officers who participated in the regional investigation, said the dismantling of a "major" cocaine trafficking operation was significant because it "put a dent in the drug trade," got guns off the street and sent a message to drug dealers that the conduct won't be tolerated.
"This arrest sends a message ... that law enforcement is paying attention and that no matter how long it takes, when you're engaged in this kind of conduct in our communities we're going to be there and we're going to come after you," Ferman said.
A total of 27 people have been charged in connection their involvement in the corrupt organization. Many were arraigned Wednesday on various drug-related charges before District Judge William Maruszczak in Upper Merion, who set various bail amounts, some as high as $2 million.
Andrew W. Chambers, police superintendent in Tredyffrin Township, Chester County, where the investigation began, called the police cooperation "outstanding."
The law enforcement operation began in November 2008 in Tredyffrin as police and members of the Chester County High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas Task Force investigated Anthony A. Dennis, 39, of Thames Drive, Montgomery Township, who operated the "Heads Up" barbershop at 932 Old Gulph Mill Road in Wayne, according to court documents.
Authorities alleged Dennis and his brother, Michael Dennis, 34, of Philadelphia, "were engaged in the sale of large quantities of cocaine to various individuals including cocaine dealers in Montgomery County."
Members of the Montgomery County Narcotics Enforcement Team got involved in the investigation and gathered information that James "Twin" Adams, 46, of Hartranft Avenue, Norristown, was among the list of alleged cocaine dealers who received their supply from the Dennis brothers.
By April 2011, authorities received permission from the Pennsylvania Superior Court to wiretap the phones of the Dennis brothers and Adams, according to court papers.
Between April and May, undercover authorities, including members of the Montgomery County Drug Task Force and state police, monitored the wiretaps in an effort to dismantle the drug trafficking operation, court papers indicate. Authorities learned that Anthony Dennis was to purchase nine ounces of cocaine, so he could fill orders from his customers, during a meeting with his alleged supplier, Samuel Marshall, on City Line Avenue in Philadelphia on May 18, court papers indicate.
Marshall, 40, of Philadelphia, and Anthony Dennis were arrested at the scene and detectives seized cocaine hidden in Marshall's sock and $9,200 in cash from Dennis' vehicle, according to a criminal complaint.
Those arrests were followed by raids at 21 locations in the region, including 14 in Montgomery County, three in Chester County and four in Philadelphia, court documents indicate. Eleven locations in Norristown were raided by police on May 18.
In addition to the Dennis brothers and Marshall, police arrested Adams, Ange Piccarreta, 31, and Preston "Pretty" York, 38, of the 800 block of Buttonwood Street, Norristown, according to court papers.
The undercover investigations included officers from Norristown, Pottstown, West Norriton, Upper Merion, Upper Providence, Lower Providence, Upper Dublin, Whitpain, Plymouth, Souderton, Montgomery Township, Tredyffrin and state police.

Q: Best practice of converting obejcts So, I started a little pet project, just to have something to work on, but since last time I worked comercially I learnt some things about patterns and so on. So when I stumbled upon having to convert simple DTO to also simple model that holds its values in program I started to wonder - what would be best practice to convert it?
To calrify - I have something like this:
public class LoggedInDTO
{
   public String Token;
   public String Name;
}

And I want it to be converted to LoggedInUser like below:
public class LoggedInUser
{
   private String _token;
   private String _name;
}

(of course Logged in user will be a little bigger than that, the point is to not use DTO for anything other than transfer, and to have more specialized classes)
Now, how to properly convert one to another to achieve best clarity and/or testability?
I thought of just passing DTO to constructor and then just copying values, but my concern is that it will be "tightly coupled", which is thing that all websites are telling as horror story of programming. From the other side, one is the base of another, so why not? Or maybe converter to have everything in one place?
What would be the best practice for that? Or maybe I am overthinking everything and should not concern myself with such?

A: LoggedInDTO:
public class LoggedInDTO
{
    public String Token;
    public String Name;

    public LoggedInUser toLoggedInUser() {
        return new LoggedInUser(Token, Name);
    }
}

LoggedInUser:
public class LoggedInUser {

    public LoggedInUser(String token, String name) {
        _token = token;
        _name = name;
    }

    private String _token;
    private String _name;
}

Example:
public static void main(String[] args) {
        LoggedInDTO loggedInDTO = new LoggedInDTO();
        loggedInDTO.Name = "12eq";
        loggedInDTO.Token = "123234";

        LoggedInUser loggedInUser = loggedInDTO.toLoggedInUser();
}

BELLAGIO'S NEW ROOM DESIGN OFFERS CONTEMPORARY STYLE WITH COMFORTABLE LUXURY
Bellagio Press Releases
LAS VEGAS - Exceeding guest expectations is the service standard at Bellagio, the first casino hotel in AAA history to earn Five Diamond status. In keeping with that goal, the resort recently unveiled the design for its new guest rooms both in the existing Bellagio Tower and the $375 million Spa Tower, scheduled to open in December. The $110 million redesign of the Bellagio Tower guest rooms was completed in mid-February.
"Our goal was to build upon the highly successful Bellagio room design of 1998 and incorporate luxurious new features and technology that would enhance our guests' stays," said Randy Morton, vice president of Hotel Operations. "We feel this extraordinary new room accomplishes that objective."
Each of the 2,602 Bellagio Tower and 928 Spa Tower guest rooms has been designed to create a warm and inviting feeling using clean lines often associated with contemporary styling and accenting them with rich, dark wood tones. Combining contemporary wood furnishings and artwork with traditional fabrics and accessories results in a resplendent modern look.
Decorated in four different color schemes, the newly remodeled guest rooms create an alluring arrival statement. Rooms with king beds offer either soothing colors of beige, espresso and ice blue or dark mahogany wood furnishings with fabrics covered in goldenrod, olive and kumquat. Guests staying in rooms with double queen beds will be welcomed by either natural colors of russet, sage and wheat or taupe, plum brown and wheat. By maintaining the comfortable luxury and quality that have become synonymous with Bellagio while incorporating sumptuous colors and textures, the resort continues to raise the bar in Las Vegas and around the world.
For the convenience of leisure and business travelers alike, technology was not overlooked in the room design. In each room, high-speed fiber optic cabling, electronic drapes and sheers, 27-inch flat screen televisions, laptop safes and electronic, fully stocked mini bars are the new standard. These features allow guests to feel at home while staying at Bellagio.
In addition, patterned marble flooring outlined with a mosaic detail in the entryway, full-length mirrors, marble showers with seamless glass enclosures, triple-sheeted linens and luxurious duvets enhance the new rooms.
"This project is an example of our ongoing commitment to provide AAA Five Diamond amenities to our guests. It was imperative to us that all Bellagio guests, in the Spa Tower and Bellagio Tower alike, experience the same level of luxury and comfort for which we are known around the world," Morton adds.

Reinforcement learning (RL) can be a tool for designing policies and controllers for robotic systems. However, the cost of real-world samples remains prohibitive as many RL algorithms require a large number of samples before learning useful policies. Simulators are one way to decrease the number of required real-world samples, but imperfect models make deciding when and how to trust samples from a simulator difficult. This project presents a framework, called Multi-Fidelity Reinforcement Learning (MFRL), for efficient RL in a scenario where multiple simulators of a target task are available, each with varying levels of fidelity. The framework is designed to limit the number of samples used in each successively higher-fidelity/cost simulator by allowing a learning agent to choose to run trajectories at the lowest level simulator that will still provide it with useful information. Theoretical proofs of the framework's sample complexity are given and empirical results are demonstrated on a remote controlled car with multiple simulators. The approach enables RL algorithms to find near-optimal policies in a physical robot domain with fewer expensive real-world samples than previous transfer approaches or learning without simulators.
This simple toy domain illustrates the progression of the algorithm. On the right, the 'real' world consists of an agent starting in the lower-left corner of the grid world and trying to find a policy to lead it to the upper-right goal region. Negative reward is a accumulated in the puddle. The worlds on the right consist of low- and medium-fidelity models of the real world. The learning agent transitions between levels several times, leveraging the lower-fidelity worlds to learn an optimal policy in the real world while minimizing the steps taken there.
The MFRL framework is demonstrated in this real-world remote-controlled (RC) car domain. The RC car learns a policy for quickly racing around a track by efficiently utilizing two available simulators.
Recently, we have extended the MFRL framework to include domains with continuous representations of the states and actions. Here, an inverted pendulum is balanced by using simulated data as a prior for both policy parameters the dynamics model. Using the simulated data leads to learning with 3 times less data than without using a simulator.
