• while driving bans don't work, may actually hurt, study finds
• Summary: There have been researches from Highway Loss Data Institute (HLDI)had stated about people text when they are driving. Although, this had now became a major issue because this is causing all the people to get injured or even being killed. "Textng bans haven't reduced crashes at all. In a perverse twist, crashes increased in 3 of the 4 states we studied after bans were enacted. It's an indication that texting bans might even increase the risk of texting for drivers who continue to do so despite the laws," is said by Adrian Lund who is from the Governors Highway Safety Association Governor's president. His opinions infers to how this is risking the people's lives. The stakeholders are Highway Loss Data Institute (HLDI) researcher's and Adrian Lund who wants to best help for preventing drivers from accidents, crashes, being killed, etc. The Social and Ethical issues is policy and standard because many people don't follow the rules and regulations of VA. Therefore, they break the law and thinks that they can get away with texting when driving. The impact is Arts, Entertainment,and leisure because this is impacting on how people disobey the laws and being careless by texting. Sine Lund says that he want to ban about texting when your driving. I agree with Lund about texting because the more people will text the more problems there will be. On the other hand, this makes mad I can't understand why people with common sense do stupid things.

• In California (January 2009), Louisiana (July 2008), Minnesota (August 2008), and Washington (January 2008) there have been millions of people who died from texting during driving. As you can see, there were many losses for just doing one mistake.

• New Compass Uses Light Beams to Detect Magnetic Field
• Summary: There are new compasses that uses light beams for detecting Magnetic field was created stated by a group of physicists. The compasses beams light through the rubidium atoms which can measure the size and the orientation of the magnetic field. Inside the compass there are build-in local magnetic field in order to find the direction and also it rebuilds the compass itself. The stakeholders are Zibrov along with his colleagues and they had tested the compass for pinpointing the compass at the right direction. They had eventually trapped the rubidium-87 atoms at the 113 degrees Fahrenheit. This relates to people because this would affect them. The compasses only have little energy for use and it's not that big. To me, it seems to be a modern invention of compasses and it is easier to use. Also, this tool might be helpful for education uses. I think that there should be better compasses.
• The New compasses can detect directions for magnetic field.
