Worldwide waffling -The Asian Age

Formula One may have had to hunker down this weekend when Typhoon Hagibis forced qualifying for the Japanese Grand Prix to be postponed but Ferrari were already busy weathering a storm of their own. Hagibis will pass but the turbulent air at the Scuderia may continue to roll. Team orders left Ferrari looking poorly organized and impotent at the previous race in Russia. They want more victories now they have the car to achieve them. But, as Lewis Hamilton suggested, perhaps what they need - with the mechanical finally firing - is a rethink.

By the end of the month, Toronto Pearson International Airport will open the last of five new aircraft and passenger gates in the trans-border area of Terminal 1. The gates feature new glass bridges, which are common in other parts of world. The gates offer more than just direct access to or from the plane; they enhance the passenger's experience. "Right now if you walk down most of our gates, you're in an enclosed tube, from the hold room to the aircraft," Tony Crepinsek, associate director of infrastructure development with the Greater Toronto Airports Authority (GTAA), said. "Here, you will have an opportunity to see what happens on the airfield, around an aircraft while it's being boarded."

A top US senator has accused Pakistan of supporting terror groups like the Taliban and al-Qaeda in Afghanistan and harboring terrorists belonging to these groups in the war-torn country. Taking to Twitter on Friday after meeting the Afghan leadership, Democrat senator Maggie Hassan said, "Pakistan continues to support and harbor the Taliban and, in doing so, continues to support and harbor al-Qaeda. And there is a real presence of ISIS-K in Afghanistan that poses a direct threat to our homeland, as well."

Starting on October 14th, a fleet of 2020 Ford Explorer vehicles will be offering special rides to the public from Universal CityWalk Hollywood. Those vehicles come equipped with virtual reality headsets from German startup Holoride, which will give passengers the chance to try an in-car VR experience based on Universal Pictures' 1935 film Bride of Frankenstein. The passengers will have to go on a virtual journey, face monsters and overcome obstacles to deliver a message to Frankenstein in the new content created by Universal Monsters. Holoride designed its technology to adapt to the movements of a vehicle to prevent motion sickness, which means the experience itself will match every turn, stop and acceleration.
