General Motors, America’s biggest car maker by volume, is determined not to lag far behind, and has said for some time that it will launch a fleet of self-driving taxis during 2019.  In October it announced a $2.75bn JV with Honda in Cruise, its self-driving car unit, which added to the earlier $2.25bn investment by Softbank to bring the valuation of Cruise to $14bn,[i] which is almost half the parent company’s equity value.

Oath of Office was administered by Mayor Scott Dellinger to newly elected officials Bryan Ayres and Jacob Porter.

Those offices were formerly located on 169th Street but closed so neighboring Korellis Roofing could expand its headquarters.

Its new restaurant at 9611 Calumet Ave. in Munster is about the same size as the previous location with about 150 to 160 seats. But El Salto added a patio with about 25 more seats outside, a private area that seats up to 30 and has a larger bar that seats about 15 to 18, and has 16 beers on tap instead of two.

The three-story building at 415 Sibley St. is not in pristine condition. The city of Hammond acquired it and has plans to tear it down, after having razed the former JCPenney department store building just west of it a few years ago.

Before we start, you first need to understand which actions stop the clock and which don’t. Pausing the game will obviously pause the clock, as will opening your map, checking your inventory, and watching a cutscene. However, the clock keeps ticking when you’re zoomed in on an item or puzzle, and obviously as you’re directly controlling the character.

Byford’s first hire in New York was for a position he created: chief customer officer. Sarah Meyer, who is thirty-four, came from Edelman, the global communications firm, and took a pay cut to join N.Y.C. Transit. She’s a native New Yorker, and the brick-and-mortar challenge appealed to her. “It’s real people,” she said. “They need to get to work.” Meyer rides the subways and buses, looking for annoyances, such as incomprehensible signage. If she has to ask what B/D means (“both directions”), then it should be spelled out. She’s having “Out of Order” signs made to use on rest rooms and MetroCard vending machines, replacing the endemic hand-scrawled notes. The subway’s Lost and Found turns out to be itself hard to find; she located it in Penn Station, behind a set of gates. “We’ll move it,” she said. “Make it easier. But it’s amazing what’s in there. Laptops, cell phones. I can’t believe how much cash is left in trains. Last week we thought we had an organ. It turned out to be a biohazardous spit sample.”

The dress rehearsal for big shutdowns will start next April, when the Canarsie Tube will be closed for fifteen months, as the M.T.A. finishes repairing the damage inflicted by Superstorm Sandy. L service in Manhattan will cease, and travel in Brooklyn will end at Bedford Avenue, in Williamsburg. That will leave roughly two hundred and twenty-five thousand riders a day stranded and looking for alternatives. The M.T.A. has a mitigation plan—extra trains on other lines, a fleet of buses crossing the bridge, a car-free corridor halfway across Fourteenth Street—but some analysts consider it wholly inadequate. A lawsuit to stop the shutdown has been filed by community groups in Chelsea and Greenwich Village, who foresee horrendous congestion in their neighborhoods. Accessibility advocates have joined the suit, demanding that elevators be installed at every closed L stop. Meanwhile, rents are reportedly falling in affected neighborhoods.

It’s the latest in a series of departures at the Highland Ultra Plaza, where Fallas, Dollar General, and Taco & Burritos Rancho Grande have also closed in the wake of the Ultra departure and foreclosure.

China accidentally opened a can of worms when it released a video this weekend purporting to prove that an imprisoned Uighur musician was alive and well, contrary to recent reports that he’d died in Chinese custody. But the tactic backfired — within hours, Uighurs around the world took to social media to post pictures of their loved ones believed to be in Chinese internment camps. They demanded that China post “proof of life” videos for them, too.
