1 © Robert G Parker & UWCISA S - 1 July 17, 2014 V-3 Health Technology developments are driving health care alternatives Health care costs are rising dramatically; not specifically because of more people using the system or more older persons Because of more and better diagnosis and treatment alternatives Provinces are rationing health care to meet budgets Technology may also offer more cost effective solutions 3D Printer Printing Skin at Sunnybrook Hospital, Toronto

Hobby UAVs also have to stay under 400 feet and within line-of-sight of the operator. Aircraft are tested for bird strikes on a regular basis and the industry is highly regulated and safe, Mauro says. "But they are not tested for a 70 pound (35 kilogram) carbon-fibre drone flying into the engine or the windscreen. And I think that is a safety issue we are seeing now." Transport Canada's current model aircraft/UAV rules have been on the books since 2008. They require all operators flying for commercial purposes to get a permit and file a sort of flight plan, a process that usually takes between 10 and 20 days

President Eisenhower established the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) in 1958 ] with a distinctly civilian (rather than military) orientation encouraging peaceful applications in space science. ] NASA science is focused on better understanding Earth through the earth observing systems advancing heliophysics through the efforts of the Science Mission Directorate's Heliophysics Research Program, [ exploring bodies throughout the solar system with advanced robotic missions [ NASA
