Hands-free technologies might make it easier for motorists to text, talk on the phone, or even use Facebook while they drive, but new findings from the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety show dangerous mental distractions exist even when drivers keep their hands on the wheel and their eyes on the road. The research found that as mental workload and distractions increase reaction time slows, brain function is compromised, drivers scan the road less and miss visual cues, potentially resulting in drivers not seeing items right in front of them including stop signs and pedestrians. This is the most comprehensive study of its kind to look at the mental distraction of drivers and arms AAA with evidence to appeal to the public to not use these voice-to-text features while their vehicle is in motion.

We are a nation of pet lovers, yet sadly, four million adoptable cats and dogs are euthanized every year simply because there are not enough homes.

VolAero Drones is working with famed outdoorsman Bill Booth to demonstrate that drones equipped with the latest thermal imaging equipment can effectively spot and track pythons at night – the prime hunting time. Over 100,000 Burmese pythons infesting the Florida Everglades have decimated 90 percent of small wildlife while surviving all attempts at eradication.
“Python hunters finally have a tool to make hunting more efficient, bringing down the python numbers that are devastating Florida’s Everglades,” said Booth. “This drone and thermal technology is light-years ahead of shining a flashlight into the darkness and hoping for the best. The thermal imagery picked up not just the monster pythons, but also native snakes as small as 18 inches. This suggests that we’ll be able to spot and eliminate clusters of python hatchlings, which will help curb their reproductive cycle.”

Diabetes experts met and determined that some self-monitoring blood glucose (SMBG) systems, despite meeting accuracy standards at the time of U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clearance, fail to consistently meet accuracy standards once on the market, potentially putting patient health at risk.

What Could Be Better Than Living In a Fairy Tale World?
“Imagine the sweetest and most delectable fairy tale book illustrated with pages
and pages of magnificent cakes, complete with characters composed and comprised
of delicate details like fairy wings, all manner of flowers, dragons and mermaids and so much more.
Not illustrations of cakes, but pictures of nearly eighty “sugar sculptures,”
as author and illustrator Crystal Walters described her creations. It sounds incredible,
but it’s one of the most unique concepts for a fairy tale book that you will ever encounter.

BLUE SONG
Music by Maini Sorri
Lyrics by Gary Cornman & Dashawn Williams
1. The silent treatment
seems to be frequent.
Sit by the window
I'm feeling so low.
2. Mind boggling insane
can almost touch pain
rain's running down panes
within window frames.
Chore: Drops of rain paint the picture
and my tears add the texture.
Wracked my brain wondering why
there's no answer though I try.
(TALKING) Magneto Dayo, I see you Maini Dayo Dayo
She's wondering why its different/ and why I'm keeping a distance, and giving the silent treatment, because she's not willing to listen/ we went from building a friendship, Now we're feeling resentment/ but neither one of us really has the guts to end it/ and arguing is starting to become a part of us/ and the bruises we took in the past is why our guards is up/ I apologize for acting disloyal/ my morals were destroyed by the one I had before you/ its sad but its all true/ love is a gamble and I loss too/ so this go round i really can't afford to/ seen people go from having wedding/ no happily ever after instead its/ collapsing ahead of them as they battle depression
2. Mind boggling insane
can almost touch pain
rain's running down panes
within window frames.
Chore: Drops of rain paint the picture
and my tears add the texture.
Wracked my brain wondering why
there's no answer though I try.
Chore: Drops of rain paint the picture
and my tears add the texture.
Wracked my brain wondering why
there's no answer though I try.
