Restrictions on using electronic devices during takeoff and landing could be lifted, after a regulatory committee told the FAA to loosen its guidelines on when gadgets like iPads, Kindles, and other hardware can be turned on.

StarChase has invented a device to simply mark fleeing vehicles rather than engaging n high liability chases. It’s now possible to tag the offender in front of you and catch them a little bit later. Read more about this new innovation.
There’s nothing like a mom or dad to sing and gently rock an infant to

inducers for babies and toddlers that have received very positive
