VR is still in its infancy. It's at the stage at TVs before colour, or computers before they got personal. It's easy to forget that because there are so many headsets (and cardboard boxes). But Varjo's VR-1, a slick looking headset intended for the professionals making the content you'll one day use, is a great reminder that we're still in the early days of this technology. This is one of the first VR headsets to provide the super high pixel per inch count your eye can actually enjoy. Read More >>
The future we dreamed about as kids somehow snuck up on us and we hardly even noticed: powerful computers that fit into our pockets, video phone calls, wireless everything – and headsets that can transport us basically anywhere we want. The latest headset I've strapped myself into isn't a virtual reality experience though; it's the Royole Moon, a "3D mobile theatre". Basically, it's a cinema that straps to your face. Read More >>
Apple has stumbled in its efforts to win the voice computing wars, and it's pretty far behind its competitors in the virtual reality/mixed reality field. But if a new report is true, Apple is aiming to have a headset ready by 2020 that goes beyond anything we've ever seen. Take this all with a large grain of salt. Read More >>
At some point, Magic Leap is going to have to let people play around with its ultra-secret mixed reality device. Dev kits are now shipping to select partners, so it would seem that time is now.

Magic Leap—valued at more than $4.5/£3.1 billion—is one of the most secretive (and exciting) technology companies in the world. Despite its fruitful fundraising campaigns, the company has never released a commercial product and very few people have ever tried its state-of-the-art augmented reality headset. Read More >>
LG is jumping on the VR bandwagon with the release of its new LG 360 VR headset, designed exclusively for the new G5 phone. We had a chance to try it during Mobile World Congress in Barcelona and ended up with some pretty strong feelings. The LG 360 VR is way less immersive (and impressive) than other headsets like the Gear VR, Oculus Rift, and HTC Vive—and it's hard to imagine who on earth would want a headset like this. Read More >>

Bluetooth earpieces have always stuck out. I mean they've literally stuck out of your ear. Perhaps they're not as much of a fashion faux pas as Google Glass, but there's definitely a stigma about them.

Railway and subway systems are regarded as being vulnerable to terrorism. This article examines different kinds of vulnerabilities in preparedness for terrorist-induced crises targeting rail bound traffic. Many discussions about critical infrastructures and their vulnerability to breakdowns and certain hazards are often discussed from the perspective of technical control systems or advanced mitigation efforts. This article contributes with another perspective. It is suggested that a wider perspective on what constitutes vulnerability is needed and the literature on disasters and crises is therefore informative. Relying on 20 interviews with actors from rail bound traffic and Sweden's crisis management system, the article focuses on different actors' own perceptions of their preparedness. The results show that the involved actors not only understand vulnerabilities in preparedness to be a matter of shortcomings in technical security systems or in the ability to secure trains from acts of antagonistic violence. Rather, they identify two additional significant vulnerabilities. First, increased organizational fragmentation in the sector is perceived as creating vulnerability in crisis management preparedness. Second, the failure to ensure that relevant actors have a cognitive and mental preparedness is seen as creating vulnerability.
Contemporary terrorism is becoming increasingly indiscriminate, and rail bound traffic appears to be vulnerable and at high risk for terrorist attacks. An attack targeting a train or subway system can have enormous implications, both in terms of human suffering and long-term societal consequences. This dissertation aims to analyze how public and private organizations prepare for and respond to crises emanating from terrorism targeting rail bound traffic. It also examines different practices, networks and ideas related to interorganizational collaboration. Contemporary research emphasizes the importance and advantages of collaborative action in crisis management, and the idea of inter-organizational collaboration is also embedded in policy documents and has support among practitioners. Despite this, interorganizational collaboration often turns out to be difficult in practice, and it stands out as a critical factor in many crisis situations. Hence, it is crucial to identify and better understand the challenges associated with interorganizational collaboration in the context of terrorist-induced crises. This dissertation is a contribution to this endeavor. In order to capture the inherent complexity of the topic this dissertation combines and merges literature from three research fields: crisis management research, disaster medicine research and terrorism studies.
The dissertation examines international experiences of terrorist attacks directed against rail bound traffic. It identifies the way in which attacks have changed over time and analyzes the main challenges of providing pre-hospital care following a mass-casualty attack. In addition, Sweden is used to provide empirical focus in an analysis of preparedness. Relying on scenario-based interviews with central crisis management actors and actors from rail bound traffic, current preparedness practices for responding to a multi-site terrorist attack on rail bound traffic in Sweden is analyzed. The research shows that both public and private organizations have developed risk awareness about terrorist-induced crises. However, their preparedness practices are characterized by significant variations and substantial uncertainty. Scare resources are a critical factor, and actors find it difficult to invest in preparedness for seldom-occurring crises. This difficulty is accentuated by the fact that no major mass-casualty attack has taken place in Sweden. A terrorist attack differs from a routine event and poses new and different challenges for inter-organizational collaboration. A large number of organizations are supposed to work together under severe time constraints, and their work can be delayed by particular security concerns. It is assumed that rail bound traffic actors engage in collaborative crisis management; however, there appear to be few mechanisms to prepare them, in a systematic way, for managing this particular type of crisis. Among actors, inter-organizational collaboration is understood primarily from a normative view rather than from the point of view of its practical meaning. As a consequence, it is difficult to turn risk awareness and a commitment to working together into actual practical action. In addition, collaboration between different levels in the crisis management system is particularly challenging. This dissertation also identifies a tension between viewing crisis management as an example of policy-as-usual or from a crises-as-exceptions perspective.

An attribute to decide if a DOM element should be present or not depending on the deployment mode.
<!--Keep the element if in DEVELOPMENT_MODE-->
<script src="..." if-dev></script>
<!--Remove the element if NOT in DEVELOPMENT_MODE-->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="..." if-dev="false"/>
<!--Keep the element if NOT in DEVELOPMENT_MODE-->
<script src="..." if-dev="false"></script>
It is supposed to be used on templates and never on views.
If a developer is using mock frontiers in his project, it means his template(s) include scripts containing definitions of such mock-frontiers. Take a look at the following template fragment example:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<script src="webroot/jquery-1.11.2.min.js"></script>
<script src="hi-es5.js"></script>
<!--Including mock frontiers here-->
<script src="webroot/mock/CarFrontier.js"></script>
<script src="webroot/mock/GarageFrontier.js"></script>
The problem is that most of the times, the developer only intends to be using the mock frontiers in development mode. He would have to remove the mock-frontiers scripts every time he deploys his app in PRODUCTION_MODE.
Why not make it a little bit easier?
We let the Framework remove the scripts for him, as long as he changes the deployment mode and use the if-dev attribute on the script elements he intends to remove or keep depending on that.

1 area of specialization, the area of marine case study paper biotechnology, offers great chance for marine biologists. Your final year of study provides the chance for you to concentrate on your favorite areas of interest. To get credit, you have to first get in touch with a particular faculty member and arrange to do research with them. Moreover, students will be asked to participate in community-oriented outreach activities to promote ocean literacy.

Freshwater Biology Can Be Fun for Everyone
The significance of drinking water treatment was known for centuries. The oxygen they produce and release in the water is nearly always sufficient for their requirements, and is absorbed back in the plant as it's needed. The mixing of fresh and salt water makes a exceptional salt concentration that's found nowhere else on earth.

There are also various varieties of freshwater and saltwater habitats. Carp are extremely versatile, and can reside in a fantastic number of habitats including highly degraded areas. Fish are, naturally, an extremely common creature found in freshwater biomes.
For instance, you could choose to explore issues on a smaller scale, like the aquaculture of a certain habitat. The vast majority of freshwater gastropods have a shell, with hardly any exceptions. The very first level comprises the producers (usually plants).

Explore 60 flowers, bloom by bloom, in stunning portraiture with lush macrophotography that showcases the details of each flower, and learn how to arrange flowers with different styles, tips, and techniques. The Flower Book by Edward Burne-Jones (1833–1898) is a series of 38 round watercolours, each about six inches across, painted from 1882 to 1898. The paintings do not depict flowers; rather, they were inspired by the flowers' names. Burne-Jones called them "a series of illustrations to the Names of Flowers". The Flower Book explores 60 flowers, bloom-by-bloom in stunning portraiture. Lush macrophotography allows readers to see the details of each featured flower up close, from the amaryllis in spring, snapdragon in summer, and dahlia in fall to tropical wonders such as orchids and more. Comment: This book is in very good condition and will be shipped within 24 hours of ordering. The cover may have some limited signs of wear but the pages are clean, intact and the spine remains undamaged. The Flower Expert is one of the books in the Expert series written by the world's best-selling gardening author. Quite simply, the world's best-selling book on flowers. Coincidentally I just found this at my library a few days ago. I agree, it's wonderful. Although I'm not sure why dystopian bleak futures has become a genre for picture books. .
Whether you are a Grower, Wholesaler, Florist or simply a Flower Enthusiast Flowerbook Is Your Personal Flower Guide. Flowerbook is a useful discovery tool you can use to find flowers for all your projects and designs. .

Under this title; former US Envoy to the International Coalition against ISIS (Brett McGork) wrote an article refuting Washington's options available in Syria and those that it can no longer use.
McGowork says the US presence enabled the United States to stand up against Russia and contain Iran and Turkey, but Trump's instructions for full withdrawal from Syria has took away all these advantages. The decision to keep 200 troops in northeastern Syria and 200 others in al-Tanf in the hope that other coalition forces would fill the gap made matters worse. The United States will fail if it continues to pursue major goals in Syria.
The best thing Trump can do is to undo the decision of withdrawal. But if he does not, Washington cannot pretend that leaving a small number of troops in Syria avoids the need to rethink its strategy. Washington must accept some hard truths:
The first truth is that President al-Assad is staying and will not go anywhere and there is no chance of being dropped by the United States or anyone else.Washington does not need to accept Assad's rule, but it no longer has to drain its credibility and prestige by insisting on his departure. Although the United States can continue to pressure Damascus with sanctions, but the economic pain it can cause is paltry compared to what the regime has already suffered.
The second truth: The Arab countries will restore their relations with Damascus and Washington's resistance to this trend will only frustrate the Arab countries and encourage them to exercise their diplomacy behind the back of Washington.
Thirdly, Turkey is a non-partner ally: The United States must accept that Turkey is not an active partner, albeit a NATO ally. It is true that US diplomats still hope to turn Ankara's drift towards authoritarianism and foreign policy that are contrary to US interests but will not succeed
The last fact: The last fact is the US recognition that Russia is the strongest mediator in Syria. The United States has no relations with Damascus or Tehran, so it has to work with Moscow to achieve anything.

ICJ verdict in Jadhav case complete vindication of India's stand: MEA
The ICJ judgement is a complete vindication of India's position on the matter, Ministry of External Affairs Spokesperson Raveesh Kumar said.
It is incumbent on Pakistan to implement the ICJ verdict, he said.
Kumar said the ICJ judgement is final, binding and without the provision of appeal.
On Pakistan's claim of victory at ICJ, he said Pakistan has its own compulsions to lie to its people.
Jadhav, 49, a retired Indian Navy officer, was sentenced to death by a Pakistani military court on charges of "espionage and terrorism" after a closed trial in April 2017.
India had approached the ICJ against the military court's decision in May, 2017 and the world court stayed his execution then.
The ICJ, by a vote of 15-1, upheld India's claim that Pakistan is in egregious violation of the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations, 1963 on several counts in the case. PTI

Norwegian Public Roads Administration's Climate and Transport R&D Project
Beginning in 2007, the Norwegian Public Roads Administration (NPRA) conducted a major research and development project to evaluate the impacts of climate change on Norwegian roads and recommend adaptation measures to be incorporated into road design, construction, operation, and maintenance and help ensure safety and accessibility of roads in a changing climate. The project, entitled "Climate and Transport," has resulted in revised guidelines and specifications, to better plan and design for increasing risk related to flooding and sea-level rise. In addition to updating current manuals, new guidelines were also developed to protect roads from rockslides, snow avalanches, and slush avalanches. The final report on the project was published in 2013.
To assess vulnerabilities to the road network and develop recommendations, NPRA used findings from the report "Climate in Norway 2100," which was developed by the Norwegian Climate Center and provided the basis for adaptation work in all sectors. The report modeled annual and seasonal projections for six different temperature and thirteen different precipitation regions throughout Norway. Climate change is projected to result in more precipitation in most regions and seasons, as well as more heavy rain events throughout Norway. From this, Norway is likely to experience larger and more frequent flooding caused by rainfall, while declining winter snowfall and a shorter snow season will likely result in fewer springtime floods caused by melted snow. More days with heavy precipitation are also expected to increase risk of landslides and wet/slush avalanches in hilly areas. Temperature is expected to increase most prominently in the winter and least in the summer, with Norway's northernmost county experiencing the most average annual warming, potentially 3 to 5.4 degrees Celsius by 2100.
As a result of the Climate and Transport research project, NPRA developed specific adaptation measures to employ at different timescales and stages of decision-making. For new roads, NPRA developed the following adaptation measures to improve planning, design, and construction:
- Guidelines now require that climate change impacts like landslides and flooding be considered in siting roads, particularly where they cross waterways, and these hazards should be avoided or minimized through siting whenever possible.
- New roads must be elevated in accordance with the 200-year flood levels, with an additional safety margin added based on factors such as network redundancy and quality of data. Design must also consider the impacts of sea-level rise and increasing storm surge. New bridges must also be elevated and designed to resist erosion based on the 200-year flood levels and loads. NPRA also recommends analyzing risk to new bridges from 1000-year floods to avoid loss of life and other catastrophic consequences.
- New road projects will plan for stormwater management, and are encouraged to utilize more expansive drainage solutions such as alternative floodways, retention ponds, and protective ditches.
- Culverts and drainage pipes will be designed with a "climate safety factor," greater than 1 and determined based on best available data, to calculate the necessary capacity.
For the existing road network, NPRA has identified the following needs and adaptation measures to better operate, maintain, and mange infrastructure in light of climate change:
- Inventory vulnerable assets to help set priorities for adapting assets through maintenance and operations. Conduct more detailed analysis of assets identified as vulnerable. NPRA has proposed guidelines for this inventory and analysis.
- Update risk-analysis procedures to aid operations and maintenance teams, to better develop contingency plans for weather events, and to better identify bridges, culverts, and road sections as vulnerable assets.
- Revise design rules to include better calculations for water flow and capacity.
- Incorporate climate change into models for landslide risks and into decision-making to prioritize road protection measures. NPRA has developed new guidelines for protecting against rockslides (most common), snow avalanches, and "wet" or "slush" avalanches.
- Model future deterioration and costs of maintenance, for both asphalt and gravel roads.
In addition to design and operational changes for new and existing roads, NPRA also recommended the use of new decision-making systems and tools to improve emergency preparedness for natural hazards:
- A "stepwise" system for preparedness against avalanches, floods, and other hazards affected by climate change. The system would include three alert levels corresponding with the likelihood of a natural hazard and level of preparedness required, to indicate when operational measures should be taken proactively to avoid damage to infrastructure.
- The web tool Xgeo monitoring of current weather data compared to threshold levels for floods, landslides, and avalanches, to help assess risk in real time.
- An alert system to disseminate data about hazardous events.
- An improved template for communication between NPRA and operations contractors to provide contractors information about a particular road stretch in question and previous repairs and statistics related to flooding and landslides in the area.
The Norwegian Public Roads Administration is responsible for planning, building, operating and maintaining Norway's national and county roads. NPRA has included climate change in preliminary studies informing its long-term planning process for the three most recent versions of the country's National Transport Plan. To complete the Climate and Transport project, NPRA worked closely with the Norwegian National Rail Administration and other partners such as the Norwegian Meteorological Institute.

Interview with Sally Ramsey
Why did you write Galapagos Finches?
Since my sons were diagnosed with autism, it has had a profound effect on my life and my writing. I have given much thought to the possible future of a world with an ever-rising incidence of autism. Galapagos Finches explores one possible future.
Do you remember the first story you ever wrote?
I barely remember a short story I wrote at age eleven when I inherited my grandmother's typewriter. I remember a novella I wrote at age twelve, featuring my favorite hero and a heroine who was an idealized version of me. These days a story like that might be referred to as a Mary Jane. Not long after, I auditioned to join actual creative writing classes and was required to churn out a story a week. Not long after that, I started doing the same just to please myself. It is difficult to remember when I didn't love spinning stories and use the written word as a refuge.
What is your writing process?
I start with an idea and usually an ending. The first line starts me on my way and I write until I get where I think I should being going, generally to a certain word count per day. Once I finish, I usually do at least three rounds of edit/rewrites until I'm reasonably happy with what I read. Usually important points in the story are clarified during the rewrites as well as correction of continuity problems. I also attack a raft of problems with construction and just plain grammar.
Do you remember the first story you ever read, and the impact it had on you?
The first story I remember reading by myself was The Cat in the Hat. I was very proud of myself and memorized the whole thing. I couldn't wait to read more books by myself.
How do you approach cover design?
I have very little artistic talent, but I want the cover to reflect the story. I search for art that will do that. I recently found a professional to turn the art into a viable cover design.
What are your five favorite books, and why?
I honestly can't limit it to five. I like series and genres. I will immerse myself in one for a while and then move on to another. At various times in my life I've devoured science fiction, romance, mysteries, and paranormal adventures.
What do you read for pleasure?
I like books with happy endings, or books where I can't figure out what the ending will be. I love to be reassured, but I also love to be surprised. I also love biographies of interesting people, which can be almost anyone.
What is your e-reading device of choice?
I use an iPhone.
What book marketing techniques have been most effective for you?
I've found that if people develop a personal interest in me through something I've put online for free, they'll be more willing to shell out for my books. I post a chapter to a free story every day --- weekends, birthdays, and holidays included.
Describe your desk
I have a computer table next to my bed with a laptop and a monitor on it. I sit on the edge of the bed to type. I keep a stack of notebooks on my bedside table.
Where did you grow up, and how did this influence your writing?
I grew up in Newark, NJ and then in New York City. There were considerable safety issues, for several reasons. Writing was one way to find a place of security. The need to fight back is reflected in my characters, especially the female ones.
What motivated you to become an indie author?
I do have some books from a publisher, but I like the control, the speed, and especially the higher royalties.
How has Smashwords contributed to your success?
I just started on Smashwords, so I'll have to find out.
What is the greatest joy of writing for you?
I love the act of creation, whether it is in the laboratory, the kitchen, or on the page. I especially like to hear from readers whose lives I've made better, if only for a few moments. I've been told I've brought readers through hospital vigils and tough times at work. There's not much better than that.
What do your fans mean to you?
I love fans. Some of them have become friends. I learn about their families and their lives. I bask in the support and love I feel flowing back.
What are you working on next?
I'll be writing a semi-autobiographical novel. Autism will be a continuing theme.
Who are your favorite authors?
Robert Heinlein, Nora Roberts, Lynsay Sands, Earle Stanley Gardner, Edgar Rice Burroughs, Margaret Truman, Isaac Asimov, L. Frank Baum
What inspires you to get out of bed each day?
I start editing what I wrote the day before, almost immediately (about 6:00 A.M.) and post to the web. That gets me going.

Utopias & dystopias
Galapagos Finches is a science fiction novella which paints a portrait of a future in which the increase in technology spawns an increase in the prevalence of a subset of the autism spectrum (Aspies), given to extraordinary skills. As those with such skills occupy increasingly higher rungs in the society of the United States, a backlash takes place.
