The current design of Amazon’s Prime Air delivery drone sees it landing on the ground and automatically plopping out the ordered item from a compartment. However, in urban areas, with their myriad of obstacles, such a delivery method may prove more difficult, and could also expose the flying machine to additional risks such as excited pets or even ne’er-do-wells looking to intercept deliveries as the drone nears its destination.
For 10 years, the APA has been running its “Stress in America” survey, usually finding that stress is caused by three primary factors—money, work, and the economy. Those factors clearly play a role in the current national mood. Younger Americans are worried about college debt, older ones about retirement, and everyone, it seems, about the economic prospects of the next generation. In the study, respondents with incomes below $50,000 reported higher stress levels than those with higher incomes.
Senators in both parties have viewed an episode of “The Oprah Winfrey Show” in which Labor Secretary nominee Andrew Puzder’s former wife leveled allegations of physical abuse against him, according to sources familiar with the matter.

A 15-YEAR-OLD killed after having a wooden stake plunged into her eye could have been attacked in a bizarre satanic ritual, police sources claim.
Jessica Valeria was found half-naked and brutally beaten with a wooden broomstick embedded in her right eye in Torreon in the northern state of Coahuila, Mexico.
ources close to the investigation told Vanguardia there were indications it could have been a satanic rite – but the Attorney General’s Office denied it was probing that line specifically.
Three 17-year-olds – two boys and one girl – have been arrested in connection with the horror attack last Satudray in the Loma Real colony.
A source told Vanguardia that investigators found “indications of what could be a satanic rite as the motive of crime”.
They said the fatal blow had been “forceful with extreme violence”, and that other markings on Miss Valeria’s body suggested it had been a satanic act.
They added: “But everything is an assumption, that’s why the investigations are carried out.
Some people had just a few minutes to prepare, in what one Oroville resident described as “pure chaos.” Stores closed. Shelters opened. Police manned roadblocks.

Roads leading out of Oroville, Calif., were jammed with traffic Sunday evening as more than 130,000 people were ordered to evacuate the area due to the possibility of failure of the alternate spillway at Oroville Dam, authorities said.
Three years ago, the reservoir at Lake Oroville State Recreation Area was at just 42% capacity — water levels so low that archeological sites became more accessible.
The National Weather Service said Sunday, urging people living below Oroville Dam to evacuate. The evacuation was ordered because of a “hazardous situation” involving the Northern California dam’s emergency spillway. The National Weather Service said the auxiliary spillway is expected to fail and could send an “uncontrolled release of flood waters from Lake Oroville.”
