The news article New York warns FedEx to keep their delivery robots off the city's streets, reported by Alaa Elassar, CNN on Tuesday November 26, 2019[s1] [s2] . https://www.cnn.com/2019/11/26/business/new-york-fedex-delivery-robots-trnd/index.html Briefly stated that FedEx is testing its new delivery robots and how they can help get packages to your home with the help of self-ruling vehicles so that sooner FedEx manufactures six-wheeled cyborg called Roxo. Nevertheless lawyers for New York City department transportation delivered a strong letter to FedEx on Monday, warning that the robots were disrupting traffic provisions and confusing pedestrians. Moreover robots not only will undercut new Yorkers jobs, but also they will be a danger on our streets. (Will Basken). Once more as before he said “today’s letter will be hopefully the end of this experiment, but we’re ready to take further steps if FedEx isn’t willing to get them: robots our streets”. Finally the consensus is: New York government sent a strong warning letter to FedEx expressing its attitude toward automation use.

Gordon Hartman, who spearheaded the development of theme park Morgan's Wonderland and Toyota Field, is expanding on his vision with the planned development of Morgan's Wonderland Sports.

The $3 million complex will feature sports and fitness facilities for athletes of all abilities. It will be built on land Morgan's Wonderland is leasing from the North East Independent School District along Thousand Oaks Drive near Toyota Field.

Morgan's Wonderland Sports will house 8,000 square feet of covered space for several wheelchair sports, including basketball, softball, baseball, football and soccer. It will include a 2-acre concrete playing surface that's tinted to minimize heat from the sun. Construction crews will use laser technology to ensure the 2,000 cubic yards of poured concrete are completely level.

"My 26-year-old daughter with special needs, Morgan, provided the inspiration, and a team of dedicated individuals who've worked closely with the special-needs community brainstormed what a completely accessible sports center would encompass," Hartman said.

"We appreciate Gordon Hartman's passion and commitment to bring those with and without special needs together in an inclusive environment," North East ISD Superintendent Sean Maika said. "We're pleased that we could partner with him on his latest project."

The new sports complex will feature special LED lighting for visually impaired athletes, as well as office space and wheelchair-accessible restrooms.

Morgan's Wonderland has accommodated fully accessible sports events in the past, but with certain limitations.

"For example, we've had to play wheelchair softball in our parking lot," Hartman said. "But Morgan's Wonderland Sports will give us plenty of room for multiple sports."

Hartman said the plan is to complete the new project by early 2020.

The Berlin Wall stood for 28 years. Today, Nov. 9, marks the 30th anniversary of when it began to come down.

It may be hard to imagine, a generation later, what a momentous event that was and why the sight of ordinary citizens, chipping away by hand and hammer at that edifice of cruelty, lifted so many hopes around the world.

The Berlin Wall went up almost overnight in 1961, after more than 2.5 million East Germans had fled to the West for freedom and opportunity. The wall was dozens of miles of concrete, barbed wire and electrified fences, overseen by watchtowers, topped with harsh searchlights, grim guards and pointed weapons.

The Berlin Wall made the Iron Curtain visible. It dramatized some of the differences between East and West in sharp, concrete terms.

The citizens in Western democracies, on one side of the wall, had elections, a free press and free travel. Those on the eastern side, in the communist bloc, were confined by a long wall, barbed wire and a vast network of secret police. Scores of people died between 1961 and 1989, trying to get over that wall.

President John F. Kennedy came to Berlin in 1963 and said, "There are many people in the world who really don't understand, or say they don't, what is the great issue between the free world and the communist world. Let them come to Berlin. ... Freedom has many difficulties and democracy is not perfect. But we have never had to put a wall up to keep our people in."

A generation later, in 1987, as Mikhail Gorbachev had begun to make reforms in the old Soviet Union, President Ronald Reagan came to the Brandenburg Gate near the wall and said, "There is one sign the Soviets can make that would be unmistakable, that would advance dramatically the cause of freedom and peace." Then he famously called on the Soviet leader: "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!"

The Berlin Wall was built by an army of workers, under the gaze of guns. But it was taken down by unarmed citizens, who danced and sang along that wall as newly free people.

The Berlin Wall showed the world a grim face of tyranny and allowed Americans to see ourselves in the contrasting landscape of a free and open society. But as we mark the 30th anniversary that the Berlin Wall came down, we hear calls from some Americans to build a wall here.

"30 Years After The Berlin Wall" by Simon Scott of the National Public Radio (9 November 2019) discusses the Berlin Wall which caused serious suffering to people in Germany, forcing them to live in two different political regimes and taking away their freedom. The author also raises the issue of the recent idea of building a wall in the USA. The article is useful, since it reminds people of grave historical mistakes and makes them think critically on the current issues in order to always stand for the ideas that are in the interests of people themselves.

Widely held myths about sleep are damaging our health and our mood, as well as shortening our lives, say researchers.

A team at New York University trawled the internet to find the most common claims about a good night's kip.

Then, in a study published in the journal Sleep Health, they matched the claims to the best scientific evidence.

They hope that dispelling sleep myths will improve people's physical and mental health and well-being.

So, how many are you guilty of?

Myth 1 - You can cope on less than five hours' sleep

This is the myth that just won't go away.

Former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher famously had a brief four hours a night. German Chancellor Angela Merkel has made similar claims, and swapping hours in bed for extra time in the office is not uncommon in tales of business or entrepreneurial success.

Yet the researchers said the belief that less than five hours' shut-eye was healthy, was one of the most damaging myths to health.

"We have extensive evidence to show sleeping five hours or less consistently, increases your risk greatly for adverse health consequences," said researcher Dr Rebecca Robbins.

These included cardiovascular diseases, such as heart attacks and strokes, and shorter life expectancy.

Instead, she recommends everyone should aim for a consistent seven to eight hours of sleep a night.
Thatcher: Can people get by on four hours' sleep?
Myth 2 - Alcohol before bed boosts your sleep

The relaxing nightcap is a myth, says the team, whether it's a glass of wine, a dram of whisky or a bottle of beer.

"It may help you fall asleep, but it dramatically reduces the quality of your rest that night," said Dr Robbins.

It particularly disrupts your REM (rapid eye movement) stage of sleep, which is important for memory and learning.

So yes, you will have slept and may have nodded off more easily, but some of the benefits of sleep are lost.

Alcohol is also a diuretic, so you may find yourself having to deal with a full bladder in the middle of the night too.

Myth 3 - Watching TV in bed helps you relax

Have you ever thought "I need to wind down before bed, I'm going to watch some TV"?

Well, the latest Brexit twists and turns on the BBC News at Ten might be bad for sleep.

Dr Robbins argues: "Often if we're watching the television it's the nightly news... it's something that's going to cause you insomnia or stress right before bed when we're trying to power down and relax."

And as for Game of Thrones, it's hard to argue the Red Wedding was relaxing.

The other issue with TV - along with smartphones and tablets - is they produce blue light, which can delay the body's production of the sleep hormone melatonin.
Will the light from your phone kill you?
Myth 4 - If you're struggling to sleep, stay in bed

You've spent so long trying to nod off you've managed to count all the sheep in New Zealand ( that's about 28 million).

So what should you do next? The answer is not to keep trying.

"We start to associate our bed with insomnia," said Dr Robbins.

"It does take the healthy sleeper about 15 minutes to fall asleep, but much longer than that... make sure to get out of bed, change the environment and do something that's mindless."

Her tip - go fold some socks.

Myth 5 - Hitting the snooze button

Who isn't guilty of reaching for the snooze button on their phone, thinking that extra six minutes in bed is going to make all the difference?

But the research team says that when the alarm goes off, we should just get up.

Dr Robbins said: "Realise you will be a bit groggy - all of us are - but resist the temptation to snooze.

"Your body will go back to sleep, but it will be very light, low-quality sleep."

Instead the advice is to throw open the curtains and expose yourself to as much bright light as possible.

Myth 6 - Snoring is always harmless

Snoring can be harmless, but it can also be a sign of the disorder sleep apnoea.

This causes the walls of the throat to relax and narrow during sleep, and can briefly stop people breathing.

People with the condition are more likely to develop high blood pressure, an irregular heartbeat and have a heart attack or a stroke.

One of the warning signs is loud snoring.
NHS: Obstructive sleep apnoea
Dr Robbins concludes: "Sleep is one of the most important things we can all do tonight to improve our health, our mood, our wellbeing and our longevity."
