The team named the new drone CRACUNS, the corrosion-resistant aerial covert unmanned nautical…

Homelessness is a fact of life in our modern world. Its existence is something we tend to overlook, and often times we won’t say a friendly hello to a homeless person, much less look them in the eye.

As Dana Lee Calabrese was preparing to meet her friends for dinner, she witnessed a…

And if their owners are the ones who are in danger, that dog is bound to react. In this case, if it weren’t for a little dog named Teddy, one family in Northern Ireland would be shocked and grieving right now. One day, Gillian was doing the laundry.…
