The BeoPlay A3 has been given a wedge design - a wedge for those with wedge - so the dock can be used both upright and on its side, and is also shaped in such away that even if you lay it flat it's easy to view content on it.

Designed for both music and movie playback, the dock essentially turns your iPad into a mini TV – the iPad actually slots into the middle of the device.

As for sound, well it's as meaty as it can be on a dock of its size. There's an omnidirectional two-inch woofer, three half-inch tweeters and the whole thing weighs an impressive 1.5kg.

The dock also comes with its own battery, which can knock out tunes for around five hours and will charge your iPad when connected to the mains.

The BeoPlay A3 is available now in black and is priced at a rather high-end £449.

B&O did explain to TechRadar that the device is only for the original iPad and iPad 2 at the moment, but it is working on adapting it for the new iPad.

This is all to do with the rubber case you have to put the iPad in before connecting it to the A3, so we can't see there being that much of a delay for new iPad compatibility.</s>PITTSBURGH, March 11, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- An inventor from Ripon, Calif., has developed THE D6, a strong device for supporting a load dock leveler being worked upon by a repairer. It provides the necessary support for the load dock leveler to keep it from falling and possibly injuring the worker. A prototype is available.

"I was on a job site, and a mechanic was crushed while working on a load dock. This inspired me to develop a more supportive means to hold up a load dock leveler," said the inventor. THE D6 provides support and stability to keep a load lock leveler from unexpectedly falling. It offers increased safety and protection, and helps prevent serious injury or death of a worker. With this device in place, it may eliminate the feeling of anxiety and vulnerability when working on a dock leveler. It offers a reliable and user-friendly design that is easy to transport.

The original design was submitted to the Sacramento sales office of InventHelp. It is currently available for licensing or sale to manufacturers or marketers.

As a small island country, Bahrain remains just as vulnerable to the perils of , , and other environmental issues tied to rising sea levels as , , and . Though global warming is accelerating and across the Middle East, Bahrain must dedicate special attention to this dire challenge to ensure that the island country will survive the countless ecological crises of the twenty-first century.

Although the possibility of too much water may seem ironic for a kingdom covered in deserts, most Bahrainis consider climate change no laughing matter. Rising sea levels could between 27 and 56 percent of Bahrain—already the smallest country in the Middle East—by 2100. The loss of that land would devastate the island country’s economy, its water supply, and the natural environment.

“Water is the first sector to be affected by changes in climate, leading to the intensification of the hydrological cycle in addition to having serious effects on the frequency and intensity of extreme events,” Waleed Zubari, a professor of water resource management at Arabian Gulf University, told LobeLog. “Rising sea levels, increased evaporation, unpredictable precipitation, and prolonged droughts are some of the manifestations of climate variability directly impacting the availability and quality of water.”

The entirety of Bahrain’s population within 60 miles of the coast in 2000, demonstrating the dangers of climate change for an island country popular for its many beaches.

“Changes in the frequency of extreme sea levels will adversely affect coastal communities by increasing the risk of flooding and erosion of beaches and cliffs,” Sabah al-Jenaid, an assistant professor of geoinformatics at Arabian Gulf University and a former Fulbright Scholar, told LobeLog. “Rising sea levels will also impact ecologically and economically valuable marine ecosystems.”

Bahraini officials understand the threat that global warming poses. Last October, they Bahrain as “severely threatened” and $9.8 million of assistance from the Green Climate Fund, a program organized by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.

“Bahrain already experiences high climatic variability, which is typical of arid regions,” Zubari says. “It is expected that climate change will directly increase this variability.”

In addition to the more obvious problem of coastal erosion, rising sea levels will likely contribute to water scarcity in Bahrain. A research paper presented at the Twelfth Gulf Water Conference in Bahrain in 2017 the dangers of seawater contaminating the aquifers on which many Bahrainis for their water. Bahrain’s overreliance on some aquifers his this environmental issue.

By 2025, shortages of water may as many as 30 percent of Bahrainis. The World Resources Institute Bahrain to become one of the world’s seven most “water-stressed” countries by 2040, joined by neighbors Kuwait, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates as well as Palestine.

“Increases in temperature would elevate water consumption in Bahrain, which is mainly met by desalination and supplemented by water extraction,” notes Zubari. “More desalination plants will have to be constructed to meet these needs, which would place an economic burden on the water authorities in Bahrain and increase the environmental problems associated with desalination.”

Water scarcity could undermine Bahrain’s responses to other environmental issues, such as food security. The Bahraini Works, Municipal Affairs, and Urban Planning Ministry has been trying to sustainable agriculture, but the island country’s limited water supply will that effort.

“Rising sea levels will compound the inefficiency of the agricultural drainage system,” observes Zubari, adding that much of Bahrain’s already-scarce farmland could become submerged.

In an attempt to preempt rising sea levels while expanding opportunities for real estate brokers, Bahrain has followed the historical example of pioneers such as , , and the fellow island country of by turning to land reclamation. Bahrain’s landmass by an eighth from 1987 to 2013. This initiative similar developments in the nearby cities of and , where land reclamation has economic growth. Even so, environmentalists have to Twitter to criticize the Bahraini project, whose ability to counteract rising sea levels remains in doubt.

“Because of the continued development and use of Bahrain’s coastal zone, it will be somewhat difficult to identify measures for concrete adaptation at the current stage,” says al-Jenaid. “The best solution is to outline a general framework for a national response to rising sea levels.”

If Bahrain wants to find more successful models for dealing with global warming, it can look to Indonesia, another Muslim-majority island country, and Oman, Bahrain’s neighbor in the Gulf. Indonesia has environmentalism as part of a wider Islamic obligation to for nature. Oman, meanwhile, is an ambitious environmental policy with outreach to partners in the international community, even an award for research on environmental protection through the UN. Either approach can work for Bahrain, which has already begun with the UN Environmental Program.

“In the face of climate change, there is not much that we can do to stop it, but we need to adapt to and alleviate its negative impacts,” says Zubari. “To prepare, we should establish an efficient water-management system that can supply adequate amounts of water uninterrupted with the required quality under the lowest financial, economic, social, and environmental costs on a long-term basis.”

Well-resourced Bahraini government agencies such as the can lead the response to rising sea levels and climate change as a whole, partnering with and other Bahraini environmental organizations to ensure civil society’s involvement. Given the many ecological crises likely to confront the island country and its neighbors in the Gulf, Bahrain will need to implement a comprehensive environmental policy in preparation for the volatile decades to come.

“Every drop of water saved will not only help Bahrain adapt to climate change but also result in many financial, economic, environmental, and social benefits for the country,” concludes Zubari.
