Not only do they provide a leisure activity, but drones give us an elevated perspective away from the limitation of having our feet firmly on the ground. Drones are a lot of fun to fly and those with video capability provide us with fresh, intriguing views. However, it is important to remember that you are controlling a real aircraft that is regulated by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Given that small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS) or drones are occupying more time in the sky, it is essential to know safety rules and regulations to fly safely and responsibly. To help become educated on the do’s and don’ts of drone usage, I’ve outlined information from the FAA and City of... Read more →

Catholic League president Bill Donohue comments on the Folsom Street Fair events this weekend: Every year, San Francisco celebrates the Folsom Street Fair, traditionally held the last weekend in September. It is a mass gathering of naked homosexual men, some of whom submit to beating each other in the street with chains and other metal devices. This is regarded as a demonstration in tolerance. In 2012, many citizens of San Francisco got so fed up with naked men sitting next to children in public places that they banned nudity in public. The board of supervisors vote was close, 5-4. But it was not a total ban: an exception was made for homosexuals—they are allowed to go naked at the Folsom Street Fair and other events. Many prefer to indulge their passions by participating in bondage exercises. The Folsom Street Fair also features a heady dose of Catholic bashing. Usually, the... Read more →

Newswise — Researchers at Johns Hopkins report that a novel analysis of more than a thousand patients adds to evidence that hospitalization, critical illness and major infection may diminish brain structures that are most commonly affected by Alzheimer’s disease. Results of the study, published Sept. 24 in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, suggest — but do not prove — that critical illness and major infection can promote such brain structure changes and accelerate the process of cognitive decline, the researchers say. Walker cautions that the findings may be limited due to undetected or misclassified billing codes that define diagnosis in the medical records; a lack of information about potentially relevant comorbidities such as delirium; and the “observational” nature of the study, which was not designed to — and cannot — determine or prove cause and effect. But, he said, “The findings do indicate that hospitalization, infection and critical... Read more →

by New Jersey Business & Industry Association Legislation banning plastic bags, straws and polystyrene containers is the kind of environmental policy the state should avoid if it wants to get the maximum environmental benefit without hurting jobs and the economy, the New Jersey Business & Industry Association (NJBIA) said today. Testifying before the Senate Environment and Energy Committee on S-2776, NJBIA Chief Government Affairs Officer Chrissy Buteas said NJBIA members take their responsibility to manage solid waste seriously, but they want the state to have clear and comprehensive goals before imposing new mandates on them. "To date, the state has not released any analysis studying the impact of plastics as it relates to litter or other environmental concerns," Buteas said. "We want to be sure that any measure impacting so many jobs will actually have the desired effect." Facts suggest the bill would have little impact on global plastics pollution... Read more →

CNBNews graphics file CAMDEN CITY, NJ (September 27,2018)(CNBNewsnet)—On average, nearly 20 people per minute are physically abused by an intimate partner in the US.

The agency is offering opportunities for the community to get involved and give back. “Something as simple as collecting some toiletries that you saved from hotels can make an impact,” said Danielle Brown a longtime volunteer, employee, and survivor of domestic violence. “Victims are often faced with little to no options when they are financially controlled by an abuser. Buying items such as shampoo or toothpaste becomes impossible for many of our clients. Victims know that they can come to CCWC as a resource... Read more →

CAPE MAY, NJ (September 27,2018)(CNBNewsnet)--Today marks the 76th anniversary of Coast Guard Signalman First Class Douglas Munro’s selfless act of heroism. His sacrifice earned him a place in our service’s history. Not as our only Medal of Honor recipient, but as a reminder that the endeavor to protect our nation comes with a price. It is in those ubiquitous moments, when life and death decisions are made, the devotion to duty to which every Coast Guardsman subscribes to is called upon, and it is in those moments that our core values define us and define our service. The Spencer mast, the pictures and letters that chronicle Munro’s life in Munro Hall and the monument which we stand before today are reminders to our recruits, a type of daily affirmation, of our willingness to put nation over self, and to maintain a level of respect for the job at hand.
