Resolutie 893 van de Veiligheidsraad van de Verenigde Naties werd op 6 januari 1994 unaniem aangenomen, als eerste VN-Veiligheidsraadsresolutie van dat jaar. De Veiligheidsraad stemde in met het voorstel van secretaris-generaal Boutros Boutros-Ghali over de inzet van de UNAMIR-vredesmacht in Rwanda en de inzet van een tweede bataljon in de gedemilitariseerde zone in het noorden van Rwanda.

Achtergrond
Al tijdens het Belgische koloniale tijdperk was er geweld tussen de Hutu- en de Tutsi-bevolkingsgroepen in Rwanda. Desondanks bleef die laatste, die in de minderheid was, de macht uitdragen. Na de onafhankelijkheid bleef het etnische conflict aanslepen tot in 1978 de Hutu's aan de macht verkozen werden. Tijdens deze rustige periode mochten Tutsi-vluchtelingen niet naar Rwanda terugkeren en in de jaren 1980 kwam het opnieuw tot geweld. In 1990 vielen Tutsi-milities van het FPR met Oegandese steun Rwanda binnen. Met westerse steun werden zij echter verdreven.

Toch werden hierna vredesgesprekken aangeknoopt. Die leidden in 1993 tot het Vredesakkoord van Arusha, dat in een overgangsperiode van 22 maanden en een internationale vredesmacht voorzag. Die vredesmacht, UNAMIR, werd met resolutie 872 opgericht en zou in vijf sectoren opereren. Aan de grens met Oeganda in het noorden, bevonden zich de FPR-strijders. Daaromheen kwam een gedemilitariseerde zone (DMZ). De hoofdstad Kigali werd een wapenvrije zone, waar militairen hun wapens niet mochten dragen.

In elke sector zouden militaire waarnemers worden geplaatst om toe te zien op de naleving van de gemaakte afspraken inzake troepen en wapens. De UNOMUR-waarnemingsmissie aan de grens in Oeganda werd geïntegreerd. Twee pelotons van de OAE-waarnemingsmissie NMOG II in de DMZ werden eveneens geïntegreerd. In Kigali en in de DMZ zou ook een bataljon infanterie van 800 manschappen worden ontplooid. De missie zou worden ondersteund door vier multi-inzetbare en twee lichte helikopters. De militairen zouden in vier fases worden ontplooid. Op het einde van de twee fase, zouden er 2548 manschappen zijn. Een klein politiecomponent van zestig agenten zou toezien op de werking van de Rwandese politie.

In december 1993 was de ontplooiing van de missie volop aan de gang. In het noordwesten van Rwanda, in de DMZ en aan de grens met Burundi, bleef de situatie echter gespannen. In november waren bij twee aanvallen zo'n zestig burgers omgebracht nabij de DMZ. In Burundi was, volgend op een staatsgreep, geweld uitgebroken dat vluchtelingen over de grens dreef. Secretaris-generaal Boutros-Ghali raadde dan ook aan de manschappen voor fase 2 zo snel mogelijk en het bataljon voor de DMZ vervroegd te ontplooien. De Veiligheidsraad had gevraagd het met minder manschappen te proberen, maar Boutros-Ghali was van mening dat dat de uitvoering van het mandaat in het gedrang zou brengen.

Inhoud
De Veiligheidsraad had het rapport van secretaris-generaal Boutros Boutros-Ghali gekregen en was tevreden over de voorruitgang bij de uitvoering van het Arusha-Vredesakkoord, en vooral de oprichting van een overgangsregering, en het status of forces-akkoord voor de vredesmacht. Wel was men bezorgd over gewelddadige incidenten in Rwanda en de gevolgen van de situatie in Burundi voor Rwanda.

Het voorstel over de inzet van UNAMIR en de inzet van het tweede bataljon in de gedemilitariseerde zone werd goedgekeurd. Er werd benadrukt dat verdere steun aan UNAMIR zou afhangen van de uitvoering van het vredesakkoord.

The turkey wattle isn't even attractive on a turkey and it most certainly isn't becoming on a person, whether they are young or old. Some people are genetically predisposed to this sagging skin underneath the chin and around the neck.
Other people find themselves in this situation after working hard to lose a significant amount of weight. And for others, it is simply a side effect of getting older. No matter what situation a person might be in, they need to know that they do not have to settle for this. For Irvine residents, the option of a neck lift will allow them to look not only younger but also thinner.
Neck tightening is a cosmetic surgery that Dr. Kevin Sadati, a board certified facial plastic surgeon who is well known in California, performs on his patients. The goal of this procedure is two-fold first, the excess skin is removed from the patient, and secondly, the muscles around the neck are tightened in order to produce long-lasting results.
Because of the nature and location of this surgery, Dr. Sadati often recommends that patients have a facelift performed at the same time. This is done not only to ensure uniformity but also to make sure that bunching does not occur near the ears.
The average person considering this procedure is typically between 40 years old and 70 years old. No matter what age a patient might be, it is imperative that they are in both good mental health and physical health. Dr. Sadati stresses that it is important to have realistic expectations, and to remember that the surgery might make you look younger but it won't change your entire life. To find out if this is the right cosmetic surgery for you, book your free consultation today.


One of the great innovations of the Mac, way back when, was the concept of the Trash. Instead of deleting files immediately, you'd put them in the Trash, where they'd sit until you either took them out or removed them for good by emptying the Trash.
Backing up your Mac is like flossing your teeth: everyone knows they should do it every night, but too many people never get around to it. Unlike flossing, once you set up backups, they don't require daily attention.


Two Worlds Consulting has developed a Reconciliation Action Plan that expresses our values and principles related to our work alongside Indigenous peoples and sets out activities we will implement to advance reconciliation.
The people at TWC understand that Indigenous groups have an inextricable relationship with their respective traditional territories and have been an integral part of local ecosystems since time immemorial. Indigenous groups have demonstrated repeatedly that, if people take care of the land, the land will take care of the people. Through our work, TWC sets out to reaffirm the constitutional rights that Indigenous peoples have in Canada and across the world. To that end, we seek to operate within and be guided by the principles of reconciliation, recognizing the consequences of our collective history and the ever-greater importance of self-determination for Indigenous groups. At TWC we are dedicated to building strong partnerships between industry and Indigenous groups and to work alongside Indigenous peoples as they shape decisions that affect their traditional territories.
As part of our work to reaffirm the constitutional rights of Indigenous peoples and navigate towards reconciliation, the people at TWC understand the importance and impact western knowledge and Indigenous knowledge can have when used together. Western knowledge and Indigenous knowledge represent two ways of understanding the world around us. Our goal at TWC is to use our team's expertise in engagement and research, to bring the two views together to complement each other.

My 2016 Predictions Reviewed
Written on December 29, 2016
I did this last year, because I'm fully okay with showing how wrong I can be (and, mostly, because it's a fucking hoot), so I'm doing it again this year.
I'm going to review my predictions from last year, rate them by accuracy (aside from obvious joke predictions), and you can find my 2017 predictions by looking out for #mitczpredicts2017 on Twitter or just by just clicking here (if you're reading this before Dec 31, 2016 then you won't see anything yet).
2016 was a fucking shit year, and a failure on many levels. My predictions were likely also epic fucking failures.
So then, onto the #mitczpredicts2016 tweets…
Donald Trump will not win the presidential race #mitczpredicts2016
— Rev. Mitcz (@revmitcz) December 31, 2015
STATUS : FAILURE
This was an epic failure. I can try and take solace in that almost everyone (including the drumpster fire himself, if reports are to be believed) also predicted this wrongly up until – and including – the day of the election, but… this was just bad. I still can't believe it, and I firmly believe his nomination will be something we study for years to come, and future generations will say "WHAT IN THE FUCK?!?" and anyone who voted for him will act the way anyone who threw rocks at the "negroes integrating white schools" did back in the 60s : they'll just pretend they weren't there, didn't vote, and avoid any questions about their own thoughts on the matter.
Seriously, though : you've likely met many people who were around during the civil rights era, but somehow not a single fucking one says "yeah, I used to think they should use a different water fountain" (your experiences may vary, but I've literally never met a single one in my 38+ years on this planet). That was the prevailing white-person wisdom at the time, yet… fucking NO ONE will admit they used to think that (except for the Klan who still thinks that). This isn't a 2017 prediction, it's a long-term prediction that will come true in my lifetime : almost everyone will pretend they never supported him in the first place.
That Star Wars not-in-the-trilogy movie will cast doubts on other Star Wars not-in-the-trilogy movies #mitczpredicts2016
I'm glad I was wrong about this one. I didn't expect Rogue One to be any good at all, but was fucking amazing. That said, I also didn't expect Ep VII (The Force Awakens) to be any good at all, either. I was wrong about both, and I'm fucking happy about it.
We're gonna be doing a lot of talk about Obama's legacy #mitczpredicts2016
STATUS : SUCCESS
This was an easy one. OF FUCKING COURSE we'd talk about that, a lot. That said – I needed a win, goddamnit. So I'm counting it.
I'll be meat-free for a month, just to see what happens. Then I'll be starving and dreaming of steak. #mitczpredicts2016
Okay, fine. So I didn't try to go veggie "just to see what happens". Sue me.
We'll hear about some hot new diet, then the backlash of "facts" will bury it just after Bikini Season #mitczpredicts2016
It's funny to me that this isn't a "thing" anymore. And I live in the fucking land of where this is a "thing". Apparently we were all too busy worrying about the non-issues of Hillary's non-scandals.
You'll read at least 2 articles speculating about an Apple Car, but Apple will say exactly nothing #mitczpredicts2016
STATUS : PARTIAL SUCCESS
I can't determine whether you've ready any articles at all about anything this year. But, there were definitely articles continuing to speculate about an Apple Car. And, as predicted, Apple said fuck-all about it. So I win this round.
You'll laugh at a viral cat video. Because, what are you, some kind of monster? #mitczpredicts2016
STATUS : UNDETERMINED
I hope you did actually laugh at a viral cat video, GIF, or photo this year. We all could really use it. If you haven't done so yet, allow me to change that :
the Guns N Roses reunion tour will sound like a great idea until 5 mins after the show starts #mitczpredicts2016
Another one I'm glad I was wrong about, but… man, I was certain they'd get into a huge fight within 3 days of the reunion tour. From all accounts, including those of close personal friends of mine, it was g'damn glorious. You win this round, GnR.
We'll get a new CeeLo jam. Then we'll remember "ohhh yeah. he's a terrible person" after an interview #mitczpredicts2016
Yo, CeeLo, where you at? Can you make a "Fuck trump" song or something? Yes, you're a terrible human but you're a wonderful musician.
You will hear no less than 10 "Bill Cosby Raped in Prison" jokes. And none of them will be funny. #mitczpredicts2016
STATUS : MOSTLY FAILURE
I, personally, didn't hear a single one. Maybe that's cause Cosby still hasn't even had a proper trial – which this tweet assumed would be the case – but I haven't heard a single joke about it. I'd like to think it's because we've grown beyond "male rape is funny", but I'm far more inclined to think it's because he still hasn't faced trial.
Bernie Sanders will be Hillary's running mate, clinching the win #mitczpredicts2016
I'm honestly still unsure why she didn't pick him as her running mate. He never had a chance at the presidency (please don't debate me on this – I don't give a shit) but he'd be a DAMN good running mate. Also, it would've made the misunderstood "scandal" at the DNC into a non-issue and really rallied the Dem voters. Anyway, this was the most wrong prediction I made and I was pretty sure I'd only have to walk back on ONE of the claims in this tweet.
We'll see at least a teaser trailer for the new next-gen GTA game #mitczpredicts2016
I should've said "at least an anouncement", but even THAT would've been wrong. This was wishful thinking, but… seriously? It's been 3 years since the last installment and 5 years since the last teaser for a new installment.
You'll say something really stupid at work, and it'll haunt you until you're too drunk to care at the holiday party #mitczpredicts2016
How am I to know if you did this? Ideally, you'd forgive yourself for past transgressions of which everyone else has already forgiven you – but some transgressions should haunt you long enough for you to aim to do better, be better, and live better.
A new conspiracy will arise from a perfectly-explained catastrophe #mitczpredicts2016
Another pretty easy one : Alex Jones still being alive means there's never a lack of easily-explained conspiracy theories. One need look no further than the #pizzagate fiasco to see that this bullshit continues to this day.
We'll finally realize that Caitlyn Jenner is the worst possible voice for Trans rights and acceptance #mitczpredicts2016
It doesn't seem like she's been shunned by the public at large – at least not in any HUGE way that I would've liked – but she's largely been, at the very least, ignored and, at most, shunned by some. She shilled for the drumpster fire as part of some weird Republican attempt at reaching "everyone who feels let down by the current administration" but LGBT folk don't have such short-term amnesia that they'd forget who openly blocked their attempts to legally marry even just 2 years ago. Any positive mentions of Caitlyn Jenner seemed to have disappeared around that time, and any mention at all of her seems to have disappeared entirely shortly thereafter. Even the drumpster fire never spoke of her again after using her as a pawn in his shitty little game.
You'll try that new vegan-asian-fusion joint. Cause you're bold and daring in 2016! #mitczpredicts2016
Did you, though?
Patton Oswalt's new album will be g'damn fantastic #mitczpredicts2016
He won a fucking Emmy for it! Regardless of my, or your, personal opinion about it – the brilliant motherfucker pulled a funny little rabbit out of the hat and enough people agreed his magic was amazing. To me, Peak Patton Oswalt was his unofficial first album 222 – one of a few comedy albums I reference when I talk about "perfect performances". Even if he never reaches that level of brilliance again, he's still 1000 leagues above what I'll likely ever be – even on his least-impressive albums.
I will regret at least one person I fuck this year #mitczpredicts2016
A success by failure, but I have no further comment. If you're reading this and we've fucked this year – take comfort in knowing it's almost definitely not you.
Ohhh the Star Wars memes. There's gonna be SO many. They'll block out the sun #mitczpredicts2016
Between The Force Awakens, Rogue One, the corollaries with the U.S. election, and Carrie Fisher's death… there's been PLENTY of memes. None reached the viral critical mass of, say, Pepe – but there was enough of them to qualify this prediction as at least partially successful.
The hot new fashion trend this summer will be showing me your boobs #mitczpredicts2016
STATUS : JOKE TWEET
I'm not famous enough for anything remotely close to anything happening to me being considered a "trend", but you're still always welcome to send me your boobs (or any boobs) via Twitter or anonymously via this site's contact form (where you can even attach photos!).
NASA will make a discovery that no one understands, misreported as HUGE news and then issue a correction #mitczpredicts2016
Sure, NASA makes discoveries pretty regularly and posts many of them to its official website. And, sometimes, the shit is phenomenal (like the 1,284 new planets the Kepler Mission discovered in May, 2016) but no one seems to care enough to post click-bait titles that misunderstand the discoveries NASA posts about. Or, maybe (to see the glass as half-full), NASA's own PR team is doing a good enough job on explaining their discoveries in laymen's terms that no one feels quite as compelled (either by necessity or by shame) to exaggerate them anymore.
John Travolta will remind you that he's still around, and you'll be just as upset as the last time he tried that. #mitczpredicts2016
Apparently even John Travolta's agent(s) and/or PR team agreed he shouldn't be in the limelight this year. I'd worry about why no one has so much as mentioned him in 2016, but I truly don't think anyone in Hollywood is more deserving of being ignored more than John Travolta. And, yes, I saw Corey Feldman's music/dance attempts on nationally-syndicated morning TV shows.
At least Corey Feldman was in more than one great film and had roles that no one else could've played. Mothafucka, anyone could've been Vincent Vega — John was only there cause Quentin has a foot fetish and getting Uma Thurman to dance around without shoes is easier to do when you've got the Saturday Night Fever guy reprising his dumb dance routines. You know who else can dance AND would've been better in that role? Sam mothafuckin' Rockwell. Had Travolta's career not been saved by that role, we wouldn't have to remember the national treasure, Forest Whitaker, being part of literally one of the worst films of all time. Meanwhile, Travolta hasn't done a single fucking decent thing since then.
I like Quentin Tarantino, but I'll never let him off the hook for saving that shitstain. Apparently he agrees because he likes re-using actors, but has never re-used Travolta. I rest my case.
2016 : The Year of the Pantsless-but-you-can't-tell Selfie #mitczpredicts2016
Okay, you're gonna think "no fucking way are you right about this one". And, frankly, this should've just been a joke tweet prediction, but lo and behold… the #onefingerchallenge happened. In case you don't wanna click through to that (subreddit) link, here's an article explaining the phenom : The 1-Finger Challenge Is the Internet's Most NSFW Yet. Essentially, it's taking a selfie in a mirror and – using only one finger – hiding all of your actual naked bits.
That means the subjects are :
1. Panstless
2. Not showing their nudey parts (hence, you can't tell)
So, I'm gonna call this a really weird win. Maybe the weirdest win.
You'll be alive at this time next year to watch me backtrack on all these predictions. Be safe. Love more. Enjoy 2016. #mitczpredicts2016
You're fucking alive and reading this, are you not? Yeah, I thought so. HASHTAGEASYWIN.
Final Score :
SUCCESS : 9
FAILURE : 10
UNDETERMINED / JUST A JOKE : 4
That said, it seems MANY of my "failure" predictions for 2015 would've been major successes in 2016.

Rollingstone: Amy Winehouse Gala Honors Tony Bennett and Nas in New York
U.S. charity's first fundraiser featured performances from Bennett and Jennifer Hudson
by: Patrick Flanary
The Amy Winehouse Foundation's Gala and Inspiration Awards on Thursday at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York featured honoree Tony Bennett, performer Jennifer Hudson and a guest list including Sean Lennon, Mark Ronson and Harry Belafonte. Yet Winehouse's father, Mitch, had someone else in mind when he took the stage.
"The person I'd like to thank the most is Amy," he said. "We just formalized it by calling it the Amy Winehouse Foundation. She started this long before."
Photos: Amy Winehouse Remembered
Before Winehouse died from alcohol poisoning at 27, she had avoided drugs for two years and nine months, her father said. The foundation, founded in England just weeks after her death in 2011, steers young musicians from engaging in such abuse.
"All good performers are really nervous before they perform," Bennett told Rolling Stone of Winehouse's final recording session, their Grammy-winning duet "Body and Soul." "I calmed her down by telling her that I liked Dinah Washington. So we hit it off, and then it fell in."
Every Saturday, 19 students head to the Brooklyn Conservatory of Music for six hours of instruction at the Teen Jazz Program. It's a course that exists because of a $25,000 grant from the Winehouse foundation earlier this year. That tuition represents the charity's latest U.S.-based pledge toward music education and therapy since Winehouse's parents launched the foundation's American arm last year.
Hudson's performance of "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going" drew a standing ovation from Bennett, who later performed "Maybe This Time" and "Watch What Happens." Belafonte presented him with the foundation's Lifetime Achievement award; the men, having marched together from Selma to Montgomery this month in 1965, shared a table.
The foundation also recognized Nas – who did not attend – as well as environmental activist Moe Kane and Salaam Remi, who met Winehouse when she was 18 and produced much of Frank and Back to Black.
"She was truly the driving force of her creative process," Remi told Rolling Stone after the gala. "She would sing one or two takes, top to bottom – no punches, no Auto-Tune, no tricks."
Table sponsorships at the event ranged from $10,000 to $50,000, and proceeds from a silent auction of artwork featuring Winehouse's likeness are expected to fund U.S.-based education efforts in addition to the New Orleans Jazz Orchestra and the Brooklyn Conservatory of Music's Teen Jazz Program.
"It's just pride," Winehouse's mother, Janis, told Rolling Stone. "I'm just so proud that it's done and we're able to actually carry it out."

Home News Brief Brazil Eyes Extradition of Former Paraguay President for Money Laundering
Brazil Eyes Extradition of Former Paraguay President for Money Laundering
Parker Asmann
Elites and Organized Crime
Former Paraguay President Horacio Cartes
In an unprecedented move, authorities in Brazil have requested the extradition of former Paraguay President Horacio Cartes to face money laundering charges related to the sweeping Odebrecht scandal, raising questions about how the case may now proceed.
Cartes, who served as Paraguay's head of state between 2013 and 2018, is alleged to have sent $500,000 to a money launderer identified as his "soul brother," Dario Messer, a Brazilian businessman and financial operator who was formerly a naturalized citizen of Paraguay, Brazil's Attorney General's Office announced November 19.
Prosecutors allege that Messer headed a sophisticated money laundering network that reportedly washed some $1.6 billion through thousands of offshore accounts in more than 50 countries. The money Cartes provided to Messer was reportedly to help him avoid capture. However, Brazilian authorities arrested Messer in July of this year for money laundering, charges he also faces in Paraguay.
SEE ALSO: Paraguay News and Profile
This extradition request makes Paraguay the latest country to be ensnared by the infamous Operation Car Wash (Operação Lava Jato) probe. The far-reaching corruption investigation centers around allegations that Brazil's state-owned oil giant Petrobras granted overpriced contracts to a cartel of construction companies, which then used the money to doll out kickbacks to oil executives and politicians.
In total, Odebrecht admitted to paying around $800 million in bribes to government officials and political elites across Latin America to secure the contracts. Related investigations have implicated four former Peruvian presidents and the administration of former Ecuador President Rafael Correa, among others.
Lawyers for the former Paraguayan president have since submitted a writ of habeas corpus to the court to contest his extradition request, Ultima Hora reported.
The request by Brazil is extraordinary as it marks the first time a country in Latin America has requested the extradition of a neighbor's former head of state, suggesting that Brazilian authorities are confident they have strong enough evidence to convict Cartes.
The extradition request from Brazilian authorities is just the latest allegation that ties Cartes to yet another vast criminal network, and it's unlikely that local authorities will dispute the order.
The former head of state has been accused of having ties to powerful criminal groups operating in the Brazil-Paraguay border region, as well as having intimate links to the sale of contraband cigarettes in Brazil and elsewhere across Latin America. In January 2018, for example, authorities in Brazil seized 500 boxes of contraband cigarettes originating from the Tabacalera del Este company, which is owned by Cartes' family.
SEE ALSO: InDepth Coverage of Elites and Organized Crime
But despite this, prosecutors in Brazil seem to only have two pieces of hard evidence: a letter Messer allegedly wrote to Cartes asking for money to cover his legal fees, and a couple of WhatsApp messages found on Messer's seized cell phone that authorities claim confirm Cartes had in fact delivered the $500,000 to him, according to the local Paraguayan media organization Hoy.
Nevertheless, if proven to be true, the case would also give a new international dimension to the Lava Jato probe. Messer would have roped into his money-laundering scheme not just officials from Brazil, but also Paraguay.
However, it remains unclear where the investigation will go from here.
Lava Jato lost significant credibility after a damning investigation from The Intercept in June of 2019 revealed that it was manipulated by prosecutors, including current Justice Minister Sergio Moro, to target political opponents.

Q: JavaScript indexOf() Method giving -1 when decimal value is present in array I'm having some trouble with the JavaScript indexOf() Method. I have an array...
      pointLatArray = new Array();

When I try to get the index of a variable that I know is present in the array it returns -1, which I know normally indicates to the value not being found. When my code is as follows..
      setlat = 52.6688391881732;
      pointArrayIndex = pointLatArray.indexOf(setlat);
      console.log(setlat + " " + pointLatArray[8] + " " + pointArrayIndex);

I get the following logged to console.....
       04-16 12:35:31.370: D/CordovaLog(7048): 52.6688391881732 52.6688391881732 -1

However when I change the code by replacing setlat with pointLatArray[8] in the following line....
      pointArrayIndex = pointLatArray.indexOf(pointLatArray[8]);

the following gets logged to console where it displays the correct index of 8 instead of -1 as expected.......
      04-16 12:46:17.230: D/CordovaLog(8497): 52.6688391881732 52.6688391881732 8

Is it because I'm using such a long decimal set as the variable setlat? If so, or for what ever reason if anyone could suggest a fix I would appreciate it very much.
Many thanks

A: Strict comparison for double numbers is not a good idea. Probably what you observe here is rounding error. Although the numbers seem to be the same to you they may differ by a small epsylon.
One option I see is to use custom indexOf function using epsylon comparison(i.e. allow numbers to differ by a small value. For instance 0.000000000001 or 1e-12).

There was, in hindsight, a clear element of risk to Tesla Motors Inc.'s decision to install Autopilot hardware in every car coming off the production line since October 2014. It paid a price, with federal regulators probing the deadly crash of a Model S while in driver-assist mode and critics slamming Tesla for rolling the technology out too soon.
But there was also a reward. The company has collected more than 1.3 billion miles of data from Autopilot-equipped vehicles operating under diverse road and weather conditions around the world. And in the frantic race to roll out the first fully functional autonomous vehicle, that kind of mass, real-world intelligence can be invaluable. In that way, for now, the electric-car maker has a leg up on competitors including Google, General Motors Co. and Uber Technologies Inc.
The big promise of autonomous motoring is that it'll save lives, and a Rand report in April that Kalra co-authored warned that cars "would have to be driven hundreds of millions of miles and sometimes hundreds of billions of miles to demonstrate their safety." Data is king; the more you have, the faster the algorithms will learn.
Of course, not all miles are created equal: there are semi-autonomous as well as fully self-driving ones, real-world vs. simulated, highway vs. those racked up in tricky urban environments. Still, Tesla is "in a very unique position to push the state of the art of algorithmic driving and machine learning in personal transport," said Adam Jonas, the lead analyst at Morgan Stanley for autos and shared mobility, in a recent note to clients.
The autonomous autos Google developed have covered 2 million real-world miles—with employees on board—since 2009, according to the company. Parent Alphabet Inc. last week spun the self-driving project into a business called Waymo.
As for GM, it'll be putting its flotilla on the streets in Michigan, now that Governor Rick Snyder has signed a law allowing public-road testing of cars without steering wheels, gas or brake pedals—or any need for human control. But GM engineers will be in the front seats, as they are in test-trips that have been taking place in Arizona and California. Ford Motor Co. has been doing its controlled runs on Michigan roads since 2015, including when it's snowing.
In a Tesla car, when Autopilot is turned on, it's able to do things like change lanes and parallel-park itself. Tesla stresses to owners that they're in charge—and must always have hands on the wheel—but the company is effectively trying out evolving technology with people who may not fully comprehend they're expected to maintain control or who may ignore Tesla's instructions.
The fatal accident occurred in May when a man drove his 2015 Model S under the trailer of an 18-wheeler on a Florida highway. Neither the driver nor Autopilot noticed the white side of the tractor-trailer against a brightly lit sky, so the brake wasn't applied, according to the company. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is investigating.
Tesla continually improves its vehicles via over-the-air software updates that are pushed to consumers. Musk recently tweeted that his software engineers are working seven days a week.
Musk said in October that the upcoming Model 3, due out in late 2017, as well as all Teslas now being made at the company's Fremont, California, factory, will ship with an improved hardware suite that will enable total self-driving. While he's said he wants to demonstrate an autonomous cross-country drive within a year, other automakers have generally ruled out total self-driving capability until sometime after 2020.

Q: Continuous First order logic vs Second order logic By continuous first order logic I mean first order logic but replace truth values taking on 0 or 1 with the compact set [0,1].
Is continuous first order logic strong enough to make statements about all subsets? Example: every bounded non-empty subset has a supremum.
Is there some trick where this can be done?
https://arxiv.org/pdf/0801.4303.pdf

A: Continuous logic (as described in http://math.univ-lyon1.fr/~begnac/articles/mtfms.pdf, for example) does not allow you to make statements about arbitrary subsets.  There are (at least) two ways that this is true:

*

*The quantifiers in continuous logic range over elements of the structure, not over subsets.  Thus there is no direct way that you can say something like $\forall S \subseteq M \ldots$ at all.

*Given any formula $\varphi(x_1, \ldots, x_n)$ and a structure $\mathcal{M}$ of the appropriate language, the set $\{(a_1, \ldots, a_n) \in M^n : \mathcal{M} \models \varphi(a_1, \ldots, a_n)\}$ is a closed subset of $M^n$.  In this sense the language of continuous logic cannot describe any non-closed set (it can't necessarily describe all closed sets either, nor even properly describe all zerosets, but that's a more subtle matter).

You mentioned order-completeness in the question.  Often you can't even put an ordering into the language (you would have to put the distance to the ordering as a predicate instead, and then uniform continuity requirements will impose some compatibility between the ordering and the metric).
On the other hand, metric completeness (every Cauchy sequence converges) is definitely not expressible in continuous logic.  Indeed, if you have any metric structure $\mathcal{M}$ where the underlying metric space $(M, d)$ is incomplete*, and let $\overline{\mathcal{M}}$ be the (unique, up to isomorphism) extension of $\mathcal{M}$ based on the metric completion of $(M, d)$, then $\mathcal{M} \preceq \overline{\mathcal{M}}$.
*: Usually the term "metric structure" is reserved for structures based on complete metric spaces, so I'm abusing the name a little bit here.  I hope the meaning is clear enough.


Gearbox Software has taken the wraps off its next major project: Battleborn, a first-person shooter that will be published by 2K Games on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
The game is expected to launch before the close of parent company Take-Two Interactive's 2016 fiscal year, which ends on March 31, 2016, and seems to draw blatant inspiration from popular MOBAs like Dota 2 and League of Legends.
According to reports from enthusiast outlet Game Informer, Battleborn includes a 5-person cooperative campaign mode as well as a 5-on-5 team-based competitive multiplayer mode in which players pick a hero and battle their rivals alongside a steady stream of AI-controlled grunt characters, leveling up and gaining new abilities throughout the match.
While Gearbox is involved in a number of projects, this is the first game it's announced that's exclusive to PC and contemporary console hardware -- company leader Randy Pitchford recently explained that the upcoming Borderlands game is targeted at last-gen consoles because that's where the Borderlands audience is. Battleborn seems to be an attempt to build a new franchise for a new generation of console hardware.

World Literature and Global Core Texts Conference 2017SUTDPillarAdministrator
Visit here to register for the conference.
Humanities faculty at many universities around the world show increasing interest in bringing classic works from different cultures within a single study of literature. This rapidly growing interest, however, outpaces the ability of interested humanists to establish a common framework for combining the classic literature of different cultures into a single course. This is especially true at universities in the West where the sudden rise of Asia has drawn keen attention from many humanists whose formal education and life experience has until now excluded much knowledge of non-Western cultures. At universities in Asia, on the other hand, humanists have long been aware of the sway of Western culture, but years of reading Western literature, whether in the original language or in translation, has not yet produced a consensual set of ideas about how to combine Asian and Western literature into a unitary study.
This conference will address this deficiency by bringing together academics from both Asia and the West who are seeking to develop theoretical underpinnings and practical guidelines for a curriculum of global literature. Among the leaders in this endeavor is the Institute of World Literature (IWL) based at Harvard University, which is now in its sixth year of existence. The IWL is constituted by affiliated universities in North and South America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, whose faculty are eligible to participate in its annual four-week workshop that seeks to "provide its participants with a solid grounding in approaches to literature in global perspective". Other leaders, who work from a different angle, are The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) and Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD), neither of which is affiliated with the IWL, but both of which starting from 2012 have pioneered mandatory global core texts courses for all first‐year undergraduates. Although CUHK and SUTD coincidentally designed similar reading lists for their courses, each has developed distinct pedagogical methods. There is valuable complementarity to the work of academics based at these three institutions. The IWL, by attempting to develop a general framework for thinking about literature across cultures, focuses more on the overarching nature of world literature. CUHK and SUTD, by investing substantial faculty resources in teaching global core text courses, focus on practical issues related to a similar curriculum. Bringing together theorists and practitioners from these three institutions, along with other interested scholars, to initiate a joint on-‐going conversation will help narrow the gap between naïve enthusiasm for teaching global literature and teaching it within a rigorous common framework.
The conference will address theoretical questions related to the establishment of world literature as a discipline in its own right:
What, in the first place, is world literature? What are its fundamental concepts? And what are the strengths and weaknesses of these concepts?
What are the new directions in which world literature is moving?
What qualifies or disqualifies a particular text as world literature?
How does a globalizing world effect the study of any literature? And how might a de-globalizing world effect the study of world literature?
Does world literature presuppose a global perspective? If so, then what does world literature offer to those who have not developed a global perspective?
How can we give a fair reading to texts drawn from foreign cultures we are unprepared to think about in deeply meaningful ways?
The conference will also address practical questions related to designing and teaching a humanities core course based on a multicultural syllabus of texts, as well as questions that arise out of the mission statement of the Association for Core Texts and Courses (ACTC), the primary academic association for so-called "great books" courses:
How does an academic immersed in one culture effectively teach the literature of another culture with which he or she has no meaningful familiarity?
Is the inclusion of non-Western literature a subtle vehicle to reaffirm Enlightenment values by teaching students to read it critically as part of an exercise that, according to the ACTC, will allow students to "free themselves from instant truths and local passions"?
Alternatively, is non-Western literature included for the sake of fitting it into a scheme of Enlightenment-derived universal questions that are, according to the ACTC mission statement, "timeless in their philosophical significance and timely in their relevance for us"?
Where in a global core texts course is there room for particular cultural beliefs and dogmas that can neither be easily raised to universal values nor reduced to "instant truths" and "local passions"?
How can a global core texts course balance Enlightenment values with particular cultural beliefs and dogmas?
Abstracts containing 500 words on topics pertinent to these questions are invited for submission by 15 January 2017. The selected panelists will be notified by 20 February 2017. Generous funding is available for full or partial airfare and accommodation. Panelists are expected eventually to submit their papers to the conference organizers for editing and publishing a volume related to this conference. All abstracts and queries can be sent to wlgctconference@sutd.edu.sg.

On Wednesday I usually go to life drawing. It's so educational to draw a model from life! There seems to be a sense of 'freshness' that's nonparallel to working from a photo.
Above is my first stage of blocking in the red-headed model. I underlaid three pastel shades onto the paper before starting to sketchto give a nice undertone.
Below is a more progressed stage.

ThinkingWISP has been created by apartnership of Norfolk based organisations:Norfolk Rural Community Council, AFAffinity and InTouch Systems. It is initiallyavailable in the areas around Aylsham,Cawston and Reepham offering servicesfrom 3-10mb/s. However, the plan is todevelop this further as time goes on.Those of you involved in rural communitieswill recognise broadband is a critical issue andthat superfast broadband is often less of aconsideration than getting any broadband atall. We all know the value of the internet asservices move online, fuel costs rise,opportunities for home working increase andany business finds broadband access essential. For the technically interested among you it isa wireless point to multipoint system. Thereis a 1gigabit (10x 100mb) microwave linkfrom a fibre optic line in Norwich to a mastnear Marsham. On the mast there are sectorantennas that then distribute the service tousers' premises which they connect to with asmall receiver (300mmx75mm) affixed to thehighest point on their property. We have alicense from OFCOM to use the 5.8ghzfrequency band, as this requires a license, itsless frequently used and therefore less proneto interference. Although the system requiresline of site the relative flatness of the areaassists with this and we are able to put inrepeater units to reach any dead-spots.For the non-technically interested it works!At an event recently held in Spixworth amobile unit was operating, the speedchecker was running at over 8mb/sconnected to the 8mb/s service and iplayerwas streaming video without a noticeableload time.More information can be found by going to thewebsite www.thinkingwisp.co.uk, calling thehelp line 01603 558001 (sales and technicalqueries) or for more project related queriesplease contact Jon Clemo at the Norfolk RuralCommunity Council on 01362 698216.

Pink will receive the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard award at the 2017 MTV VMAs in California on August 27.
The 37-year-old singer - who has six-year-old daughter Willow and eight-month-old son Jameson with her husband Carey Hart - has been revealed at the recipient of this year's Michael Jackson Video Vanguard award during the ceremony for the Video Music Awards (VMAs) on August 27.
The award is the highest honour available to artists at the awards show - which is held at the Forum in Inglewood, California - and has previously been bestowed upon the likes of Madonna, Beyoncé, and last year's winner Rihanna.
The first Vanguard awards were presented at the inaugural VMAs in 1984, when they were scooped up by The Beatles and the late David Bowie. The award was renamed to honour the late musical icon Michael Jackson in 1991.
For Pink, it isn't just the honour of receiving the award that she has to look forward to either, as she has also been added to the line-up of performers at the star-studded ceremony, which already includes the likes of Miley Cyrus, Ed Sheeran, Shawn Mendes, and Kendrick Lamar.
Katy Perry and The Weeknd are also set to perform on the night, and they could be in front of the audience a lot more as they both have five nominations each.
The Weeknd is up for Video of the Year, Artist of the Year, Best Direction, Best Art Direction, and Best Editing.
He will face off against Kendrick Lamar in four of those categories, and the 30-year-old rapper has nods for four others, leading the nominations with an impressive eight.
Kendrick is also up for Best Hip Hop Video, Best Cinematography, Best Visual Effects, and Best Choreography for the video for his hit single 'Humble'.
Katy's single 'Chained To The Rhythm' is nominated for Best Pop Video, Best Direction and Best Visual Effects, whilst her track 'Bon Appetite' is up for Best Art Direction.
