What are the latest advancements in Bionic arms? Loss of a hand can be devastating and unlike losing a leg, the functional limitations following the loss of a hand can have catastrophic results- personally and professionally. A few hundred years ago a hand amputee would have been condemned to a hook prosthesis that had limited function and carried significant social stigma. However, recent technology advancements provide a hand amputee a replacement hand that replicates a whole host of normal hand functions and looks remarkably life-like. Some users also opt for bionic hands that look futuristic. The latest bionic hands are now equipped with advanced pattern recognition algorithms for individual finger control to achieve a wide range of functional grips such as power, precision close, … [Read more...] about 3D printed bionic arms are one of the latest advancements: Pranav Vempati, CEO and Co-Founder, Makers Hive

Death haunts our nation’s rail lines
Kiwirail Various train drivers discuss the increase of near misses on the tracks as people are distracted by things such as headphones and aren't paying attention. Yolanda Kruger was all alone in her cabin when she spotted him. Beanie on, earbuds too, near Mt Eden station at a crossing standing right in the middle of her tracks waiting for another train to pass on the opposite track. She doesn't remember his face or much about what he looked like, she tries not to, because in 15 seconds his life would, for all intents and purposes, be over. Kruger was less than a year in the job. Collisions between trains and people have risen four-fold between 2010 and 2017, but those between trains and cars have decreased by 45 per cent in the same period. Train accidents, an unfortunate feature of rail systems around the world since their invention, are changing with the times. Now it is no longer the archetypal car on the train tracks at the wrong time that is most at risk but the … [Read more...] about Death haunts our nation’s rail lines

Grand Jury Declines to Charge Rochester Police in Daniel Prude Death
A grand jury in New York decided Tuesday that no charges would be filed against police officers in Rochester who detained a mentally ill black man, Daniel Prude, 41, last year, who later died. The incident led to riots in the city last summer. New York Attorney General Letitia James claimed that the state had “presented the most comprehensive case possible.” Still, the grand jury had declined to indict the officers. Last summer’s riots in Rochester were among the worst in the Black Lives Matter movement. As Breitbart News reported , supposedly “peaceful” protesters confronted police and accosted patrons who were dining outdoors in local restaurants. Demonstrators march through the streets in Rochester, N.Y., Friday, Sept. 4, 2020 protesting the death of Daniel Prude. Prude apparently stopped breathing as police in Rochester were restraining him in March 2020 and died when he was taken off life support a week later.
