One Day Cars Will Fly. It seems sooner than we can imagine  to have cars flying. Carl Dietrich is the chief executive and co-founder of Terrafugia, an aerospace company. Mr Carl has been working to bring consumers to the prospect of a practical flying car, envisioning a vehicle that does not require its operator to be a trained pilot. The company, Terrafugia, announced the concept of TF-X, a four-seat, plug-in hybrid electric car that can do vertical take-offs and landings. The good thing is that the flying car operator won't need to have the skills of a pilot to fly it...
Co-pilot of missing plane tried to make call from his phone after plane vanished but 'was abruptly cut off' The Malaysian plane has not been found 35 days after it went missing and according to new reports, the co-pilot of the missing flight tried to make a desperate call from his mobile phone after the aircraft went missing but was abruptly cut off...

You Can Overcome Your Fears

You Can Overcome Your Fears Is fear causing you to hide from somebody today? Your boss? Your husband or wife? Your strong-willed child? Your grouchy co-worker? When God asked Adam, '..."Where are you?", he replied, "I hid...I was afraid"...' (Genesis 3:9-10 NLT). And we've all been hiding from things ever since. We hide behind forced smiles, agreeable words we don't mean, and social rituals we detest.  Or worse, we hide behind things we do believe but don't express because we are afraid of what people might think or say. We try to avoid the pain of confronting someone, and the emotional energy we're afraid we'll have to invest in cleaning up afterwards. Short- term it may be easier to act as if things don't bother you, or pretend to agree when, in reality, you disagree. But long-term it doesn't work, because peace isn't the absence of discord.
