Medical Drones?

Heart Attack? Drones Could Come to Your Rescue
Like something from a science fiction movie, the machines can fly in carrying life-saving equipment
By Alan Mozes
Drones have been proposed for some pretty mundane uses, such as delivering pizzas or packages, but new research suggests the high-flying machines could be used to swoop in and save lives.
Swedish researchers think drones can quickly deliver defibrillators to someone whose heart has suddenly stopped beating.

Eclipse Simulator
From Astronomy Magazine -
Get a sneak peak of August’s total solar eclipse
This website simulates what the eclipse will look like from your location.
By Nicole Kiefert
The University of California, Berkeley teamed up with Google to create the Eclipse Megamovie Project, a new simulator that can show what the eclipse will look like from any location, including along the path of totality, which stretches across 11 states and goes up to 72 miles wide.
All you have to do is go to the website, enter the zip code or city you want to see, and you’ll receive an animation of the Sun in the sky over a three-hour time span. You’ll see whether you will stand in the path of totality on eclipse day, or alternatively how much of the Sun will disappear during the partial eclipse visible from other locations.

Where There's Smoke . . .
From the Washington Post -
Jeff Sessions wilts on the hot seat
By Jennifer Rubin
The contrast with Comey was striking. Sessions, grayer and older, looked nervous and shrunken in his seat, growing defensive at times. He weakly complained to Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) about her questioning. He sharply objected: “I’m not able to be rushed this fast, it makes me nervous.” Indeed, while Comey was relaxed, confident and expansive, Sessions was evasive and skittish. He repeatedly refused to answer questions, not invoking executive privilege but saying it was Justice Department “policy” not to talk about conversations with the president. Democrats repeatedly challenged him, accusing him of “stonewalling.” Sen. Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.) slammed him: “You are impeding this investigation.” Heinrich told Sessions there’s no “appropriateness” standard that alleviates him from the need to testify under oath fully and completely. Heinrich flat out accused Sessions of “obstructing” the investigation.
