Martin Aircraft Co. says it will deliver its first experimental jetpacks to customers this year, a big development for the new technology. But the jetpack is being designed for first responders like firefighters, an outcome that falls short of inventor Glen Martin's vision of a recreational jetpack that anybody could fly.

For a party already being torn apart by the presidential contest, the state legislative efforts have exposed deep rifts between the Republican's social conservatives and its pro-business wing.

+Hector saenz And now it's my turn to say it to you. Well said. Perhaps if my there had been more people like you in my own early church families, I wouldn't be so much of what I refer to as a "Desert Christian" (a follower who no longer attends organized services except when I feel the need for a formal communion). Just me, Him, and my Christian library.

America is emerging as a top tax haven alongside the likes of Switzerland, the Cayman Islands and Panama, those seeking reform of the international tax system say. And states such as Delaware, Nevada, South Dakota and Wyoming, in particular, are competing with each other to provide foreigners with the secrecy they crave.

That is true ! It's also true that many residents will have it in their homes already, which opens a number of interesting communication possibilities.

Why not just have just one book from the Bible perhaps Genesis, the possibility being that some people will actually read* it

*to read a book. = to start on page one and read continuously until the end of the last page is reached

That ban frustrates a host of industries that want to take advantage of the technology. Cellular network providers also want to loosen restrictions so drones, also known as unmanned aerial vehicles, can inspect cell towers, which often are in urban areas.
