All You Need to Know about Metaverse

Since the Internet's popularity in the 1990s, cyberspace has continued to evolve. We have developed several computer-mediated virtual environments, such as social networks, video conferencing, virtual 3D worlds, augmented reality apps, and Non-Fungible Token Games. Such virtual settings, albeit non-permanent and disconnected, have enabled us to achieve varying degrees of digital transformation. Metaverse was invented to further encourage the digital revolution in all aspects of our physical life. The notion of an immersive Internet as a massive, unified, persistent, and shared realm is at the heart of the Metaverse. While the Metaverse may appear futuristic, fueled by emerging technologies such as Extended Reality, 5G, and Artificial Intelligence, our cyberspace's digital 'big bang' is not far away. Metaverse is a closed compound word: Meta (a Greek prefix meaning 'after, after, or beyond') and the universe. In other terms, the Metaverse is a post-reality universe. This continuous and durable multiuser environment combines physical reality and digital virtuality. Metaverse offers the ability to address the basic limitations of web-based 2D e-learning tools in distant online education. As the Metaverse's new worlds emerge, early entrants begin to contribute ideas. This is a fantastic opportunity to impact how people live and conduct business for the foreseeable future. However, it brings a new level of responsibility: trust will be crucial to adoption. Organizations must evaluate how they develop a responsible Metaverse and set the norms for all that follows.

Technologies of Human Rights Representation

The speed of technological development, from cell phones to artificial intelligence, opens up exciting new opportunities for promoting human flourishing. It also raises grave risks, threatening not only personal privacy and dignity but also our collective survival. Technologies of Human Rights Representation brings together three fields of research critical to securing our future: changing technologies, human rights, and representation. For each of these fields, this book asks key questions: How can we open the black box of technological advances so that we can more fully understand their effects upon our lives? What can we do to make sure that these effects align with the values of human rights? And how does the way we talk about technology and rights-from military reports and corporate marketing to human rights reports and poetry-amplify or diminish our capacity both to understand and to control what happens next? Contributors from anthropology, communications, criminology, global studies, law, literary and cultural studies, and women and gender studies bring diverse methodological approaches to these crucial questions.

Never Panic Early: An Apollo 13 Astronaut's Journey

The extraordinary autobiography of astronaut Fred Haise, one of only twenty-four men to fly to the moon. In the gripping Never Panic Early, Fred Haise, Lunar Module Pilot for Apollo 13, offers a detailed firsthand account of when disaster struck three days into his mission to the moon. An oxygen tank exploded, a crewmate uttered the now iconic words, “Houston, we’ve had a problem here,” and the world anxiously watched as one of history’s most incredible rescue missions unfolded. Haise brings listeners into the heart of his experience on the challenging mission—considered NASA’s finest hour—and reflects on his life and career as an Apollo astronaut. In this personal and illuminating memoir, Haise takes an introspective look at the thrills and triumphs, regrets and disappointments, and lessons that defined his career, including his years as a military fighter pilot and his successful twenty-year NASA career that would have made him the sixth man on the moon had Apollo 13 gone right. Many of his stories navigate fear, hope, and resilience, like when he crashed while ferrying a World War II air show aircraft and suffered second and third-degree burns over sixty-five percent of his body, putting him in critical condition for ten days before making a heroic recovery. In Never Panic Early, Haise explores what it was like to work for NASA in its glory years and demonstrates a true ability to deal with the unexpected.

The Dealer

When Ferrari of Los Gatos opened, few people could afford an expensive sports car. In 1976, the average annual income was $12,686, and a new home cost about $48,000. Motorists in California could only buy gas on odd or even-numbered days based on the last digit of their license plate, due to the global oil crisis. Times were tough, and people were hesitant to take chances, especially with a car that cost more than a house. At the same time, Brian Burnett and his friend Richard Rivoir had the idea of starting a Ferrari dealership. The Dealer is the story of how one dealership, Ferrari of Los Gatos, fueled the rise of the iconic Italian sports car in the U.S. market on its way to becoming the number one Ferrari dealer in North America. Even Enzo Ferrari himself took notice, flying Brian and the other dealers to Italy to show his appreciation for their success. Customers included movie stars, sports celebrities, entertainers, and some with unusual sources of income and a strong desire for a low profile. Along

Asset Operations: The Future of Maintenance, Reliability, and Operations

In today’s world, the majority of asset-intensive organizations are still stuck with complex, rigid, and sometimes antiquated technology solutions that simply cannot step up to evolving challenges and an ever-changing market. Why do the world’s most important industries—ones that billions of people rely on for essential human needs—operate with approaches that run the risk of making them extremely inefficient and brittle? What if it didn’t have to be that way? Imagine a world where companies can move successfully into the future, where these brittle solutions are replaced with a flexible, simple approach that also delivers enterprise-grade capabilities. This book introduces asset operations management (AOM), an operating principle founded on the belief that asset-intensive organizations have much to gain by adopting new approaches to data, collaboration, and communication—all supported by modern, consumer-grade technology experiences. The best-of-breed organizations in asset-intensive industries have been changing the way their businesses run for years, and they’re reaping the rewards. The rest of the pack is struggling to keep up in the new paradigm—one where asset operations is central to operating efficiency and organizational resilience. ***All proceeds from this book are donated to fund industry association memberships and certifications for Maintenance and Reliability professionals to help up-level their careers and thus our industries as a whole.***
