When Towering Rivals Rabin And Nasser Met For Lunch

... the emblem of the Palmach and asked me what it meant and I explained. Then he told me the war we are fighting is the wrong war against the wrong enemy at the wrong time. And I remembered that, because he didn't say it in private.”. “And I believe at that time that we were very close to peace,” Rabin says. “And what happened happened, and he went the opposite direction. I guess the road is much longer than we would have wished,” Rabin says. As army chief in the June 1967 Arab-Israeli war, Rabin defeated Israel’s neighbors including Egypt, led by Nasser, who had amassed tens of thousands of soldiers in Sinai near Israel's border. Nasser, who died in 1970, acknowledged in his war diaries that an Israeli officer approached Faluja in an armored vehicle with a white flag and it was agreed the two sides would meet the next day, Nov. 11, 1948, at Gat. In diaries his daughter Huda compiled into a book called “60 Years Since the July 23 rd ...

Recruiting Rivals Brought Up Rutgers' Ncaa Notice Of Allegations

... Flood. Hired to clean up the mess one year earlier, Rutgers coach Chris Ash made an early decision about how to approach what was happening behind the scenes: Tell the recruits so that they would  hear the information first-hand rather than from the opposition. Chris Ash addresses NCCA notice of allegations. "We actually had conversations with recruits and their families well in advance to let them know," Ash said. "There were no secrets. Our recruiting philosophy is open, honest and transparent, and we were open and honest about the things that were ongoing before they ever came out.". 10 RU recruits who could play in 2017. Ash's decision to get in front of the allegations started with spring and summer meetings. "We were aware that a NCAA investigation was ongoing into things here in the program," Ash said. "It's not something that we (current coaching staff) were a part of. I really ...

Getting Online With Nintendo Switch Will Cost Less Than Half Of Rivals’ Fees

... a "free trial" state at first before beginning to charge players. It will be Nintendo's first paid online service since launching the "Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection" for the portable DS system in November 2005 alongside Mario Kart DS and other games. Start revving up your Nintendo VR wish list. The Nikkei interview also included an intriguing mention of virtual reality as a Switch possibility. "If we are able to resolve the issues with playing [VR] comfortably for long hours, we will support it in one form or another," Kimishima-san told Nikkei, though he declined to offer a time estimate. The brief quote brings up entirely new questions: are the Joy-Con controllers capable enough to support tracking in virtual space? Would the Joy-Con's infrared camera be employed in a VR mode in some way? Would the Switch's screen slot into a headset, a la Samsung's Gear VR? Would additional hardware be required to bring rendering performance up to ...

Comparing Notre Dame And Its Rivals

... State is back on Notre Dame’s schedule this year, and Pittsburgh shows up in 2018 and 2020. Boston College and Purdue find themselves near the bottom of the list, as they look to turn their programs around. At the very bottom we find the service academies. I find it interesting; there really is no valuable way to effectively compare recruiting at any service academy school to schools like Michigan, USC or Notre Dame, as the situations are completely different. On one hand, recruits that head to Army or Navy (or frequent opponent Air Force) are, after all, signing up for active military service. It’s a completely different group of kids than other schools recruit. Both schools signed huge classes - 48 and 45 players respectively - and Navy even signed 19 three-star recruits. Even so, these teams still find ways to be competitive on the field with the blue bloods of the world. That’s a whole different story, however. In this Storystream.

London's Rivals Roll Out Red Carpet For Bankers Fleeing Brexit

... member states. After the U. K. leaves the EU, firms based there will likely lose these rights. Blackstone Group ( BX ), one of the world's largest private equity firms, said it already took steps to make sure it has the right to operate in Luxembourg. There are plenty of advantages to Dublin: English as the main language, same time zone as London, low corporate tax rate. Plus more than half of the world's leading financial services firms already have subsidiaries in Dublin, according to the city's International Financial Services Centre. Barclays ( BCLYF ), which already operates a subsidiary in Ireland, said it is considering an expansion of its operations in Dublin. Dublin is home to the European headquarters of major tech companies, including Google ( GOOGL , Tech 30 ), Facebook ( FB , Tech 30 ), Dropbox and Twitter ( TWTR , Tech 30 ). Krakow, Warsaw & Wroclaw. Poland is not a member of the eurozone, but is still hoping to attract financial services back office and support jobs. Foreign companies already employ 177,000 people in Poland in offshore business services. The ...

India Looks At Creating Oil Giant To Take On Global Rivals

... February 1, 2017. REUTERS/Adnan Abidi. By Nidhi Verma and Promit Mukherjee | NEW DELHI/MUMBAI. NEW DELHI/MUMBAI India plans to create a giant oil company by combining state-owned firms, finance minister Arun Jaitley said on Wednesday, as the world's third largest oil consumer looks to better compete with global majors in acquiring foreign assets. New Delhi is struggling to raise local oil production and imports about 80 percent of its oil. Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2015 set a goal of cutting that to 67 percent by 2020. India is replacing China as the driver of global oil demand growth and the International Energy Agency expects it to account for a quarter of global energy use by 2040. "We propose to create an integrated public sector oil major which will be able to match the performance of international and domestic private sector oil and gas companies," Jaitley said in his budget speech. India has about a dozen state-run oil and gas companies - including Indian Oil Corp (IOC. NS), Oil and Natural Gas Corp (ONGC. NS), Hindustan Petroleum Corp ...

Libratus, The Poker-playing Ai, Destroyed Its Four Human Rivals

... high-powered computers Libratus actually runs on aren't built for that either). Instead, Libratus at its core is a series of algorithms that can interpret the rules and constraints of a certain situation and figure out a strategy when it doesn't know what the other party knows. Consider games like chess and go: if you pay enough attention, you can relatively easily understand the world of the game and the how particular board positions came to be. You'll never have that kind of understanding when playing a few hands of no-limit Hold'em, which has made it a big target for AI researchers. Speaking of, we have to wonder how a rival team of researchers from the University of Alberta and two Czech schools are reacting to the news - they claimed their own Deep Stack AI was the first to beat high-level poker players, but the identities of the AI's foes were never publicly disclosed. For what's worth, none of the humans embroiled in this defeat feel too upset about it. The amount of money spent and computing power required to beat them was impressive, to say the least, and it doesn't hurt that the contenders get to split a $200,000 prize pot based on how well they ...
