HALIFAX Two Nova Scotia men are credited with saving a stray dog stranded on a partially frozen lake in Digby County Sunday and now the dog is looking for its home. The dog had been spotted wandering around North Range, N.S. for a week and seemed to have no owner. Then on Sunday afternoon, residents living on the shores of Haines Lake noticed the dog standing on a patch of ice about 600 metres from shore – too frightened to move. It had been there for several hours when locals banded together to rescue it.

Blazing a trail for safely integrating drones into the national airspace, a team from NASAâs Ames Research Center on Oct. 19 flew four uncrewed aircraft commonly called drones at Reno-Stead Airport in Reno, Nev.
The âout of sightâ tests, led by NASA in coordination with the Federal Aviation Administration and several partners, were the latest waypoint in solving the challenge of drones flying beyond the visual line of sight of their human operators without endangering other aircraft. They were part of  NASAâs Unmanned Aircraft Systems traffic management research platform, led by Parimal Kopardekar, manager of NASAâs Safe Autonomous Systems Operations project.
