World
Comet 45P/Honda
Large comet said to be incoming and will be visible to the naked eye by new years. It comes around every 5 to 5.25 years. I will pass close to earth February 11, 2017. It is said to be very beautiful to watch. As it passes between us and the sun it can cause solar flare up as it passes. Also as it comes in towards the sun it is speeding up at a very fast rate. As it is sling shots around between the sun and the earth it can be torn apart in that event we would be in the path of the debris.

Foreign Minister Sergei Lavroy states the rebels will be wiped out if they do not leave the city. Tens of thousands of civilians have been displaced recently by the on going war in Aleppo.
Technology
Omnidirectional treadmills for VR
Kat walk is a VR enthusiasts dream. You are harnested from an above system that straps to your back. It alows full range of movement.
Omni is another similar system but you are not harnessed. Instead you have a ring around you which seems to take away from the overall effect. I imagine its still better than what most of us have today.
Cyberith has you harnessed at the waist and takes in to affect hight so the harnessing circle moves up and down. I also moves up and down while you play to be able use actions like crouching, suspending your weight while sitting, and giving a more realistic feeling to the overall gameplay.
