All rights reserved.On February 3, Rick Jackson held a press conference at his company’s Italian-inspired Roman Colosseum headquarters in Alpharetta to announce his decision to run for governor of Georgia. The healthcare staffing entrepreneur, who is running as an outsider who will cut taxes, crack down on criminal illegal immigrants and fix the health care system, has no experience in politics.

I manage to stick three fingers on it and slowly move my left foot higher. “Mommy, you’re so high up!” I hear from below.My hips move too far from the wall, my center of gravity shifts, and my fingers slip. But it doesn’t matter. As I sit, hanging from the rope, I’m grinning down at my four-year-old son and my climbing partner of the last decade. I don’t care that I’m struggling on grades below what…

Today, almost anyone who flies a drone must maintain visual contact with it at all times, a practice known as visual line of sight. This requirement severely restricts how far craft can fly. When the Federal Aviation Administration rule changes allowing people to fly their drones beyond visual line of sight are finalized, commercial use is likely to soar.
