India Looks At Creating Oil Giant To Take On Global Rivals

... 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 (HPCL. NS). But alone they do not have the financial power to rival global oil majors in bids for overseas oil assets. Combining them "will give them capacity to bear higher risks, avail economies of scale, take higher investment decisions and create more value for shareholders," Jaitley said. It was not clear if Jaitley was talking about combining all state-run oil companies or just some of them. MULTIPLE MAJORS. "India has capacity to create not only one, we may create two, three more companies," Oil Minister Dharmendra Pradhan told television channel CNBC-TV 18. "It will not be wise to put all eggs in one basket". He said the government had announced the policy but it would be up to companies to determine the details of any mergers. He said ...

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

... victory with daily total of $206,061 in theoretical chips and an overall pile of $1,766,250. "I think the worst result for the human team here would've been us showing up and losing and walking away thinking we could've done more, having some sort of regret," said Jason Les, who came in fourth. CMU was quick to assure the team, though, that they had indeed given Libratus the best possible run for its (virtual) money. "This is a landmark step for AI," said Libratus creator and Carnegie Mellon University professor Tuomas Sandholm in an email. "This is the first time that AI has been able to beat the best humans at Heads-Up No-Limit Texas Hold'em. More generally, this shows that the best AI's ability to do strategic reasoning under imperfect information has surpassed that of the best humans.". The two key words in the good professor's ...

Leader Chelsea Stays In Epl Control After Title Rivals Stumble

... injury time. Then there was the last-gasp 3-3 draw away to Bournemouth after trailing 3-0, or the 86 th minute winner against West Bromwich Albion. Those were teams Arsenal was supposed to beat comfortably. So was Watford, especially given its poor recent form and the fact Arsenal entered the match full of confidence after a 5-0 away win at Southampton in the FA Cup last weekend. But it all went wrong. Early strikes from center half Younes Kaboul and striker Troy Deeney gave Watford a deserved 2-0 halftime lead before winger Alex Iwobi pulled a goal back for Arsenal after the break. Substitute Lucas Perez hit the crossbar late on for Arsenal as Watford held on for its first victory in eight Premier League games. SUNDERLAND 0, TOTTENHAM 0. Tottenham leapfrogged Arsenal to move into second place but missed the opportunity to put some pressure on league leader Chelsea. On a frustrating night for Tottenham, forward Son Heung-min struck an effort just clear of the crossbar in the second half. The result was somewhat better for Sunderland, which managed to move off the bottom. Hull is now last on goal difference. A link has been posted to your Facebook feed. Arsenal striker ...

Comparing Notre Dame And Its Rivals

... additional highly rated players chose the Trojans. That’s the difference between coming off a 10-3 season in Southern California and a 4-8 season in South Bend, Indiana, among other things. Stanford signed a highly talented class, falling just below Notre Dame at 14 th nationally, despite only consisting of 14 players. Stanford’s class is headlined by three five-star recruits: OT Foster Sarell, OT Walker Litte, and QB Davis Mills. The Irish lost out on four-star WR/CB Paulson Adebo to the Cardinal, as well. Due to the academic appeal and the fact that Palo Alto is in California, Stanford has become another direct rival for recruiting to Notre Dame. Right below Stanford on this list are two schools with a few things in common; there is a coaching link, and they both seem to thrive with the type of classes they both signed this year. Under Mark Dantonio, Michigan State is known for taking three-star recruits and contending for the Big Ten title, ...

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 couldn't tell you what's true and what's not true.". Sure enough, as National Signing Day neared, Ash received feedback that other schools were using it as a strike against Rutgers. Not that it should be a surprise considering that Penn State coach James Franklin accused Big Ten rivals of using NCAA sanctions to hurt the Nittany Lions in recruiting. "When the Notice of Allegations came out, we knew that the other schools would discuss those in recruiting battles - and they were brought up," Ash said. "Can I sit here and ...

One upcoming Switch game, Capcom's Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers, will work independently of this app-based matchmaking system. As previewed to the press, the game will offer matchmaking within the console. It's unclear whether this game's online modes will require paying for the Switch's service. Exactly how the app will work is unclear, but a Japanese Nintendo Twitter account  hinted at a few details. Players will be able to add friends to online matches either through a normal friends list or by combing through social-media services, and their ability to voice chat, at least in the upcoming Splatoon 2, will be limited to "friends-only.".
