Precision Flying: BISD holds drone delivery academy

Appropriately, the check and the pen to sign it arrived via drone Friday in front of a pavilion in Dean Porter Park, where 16 Brownsville Independent School District CTE students graduated from BISD’s first delivery drone academy. The students spent last week learning how to fly a drone, which could eventually land them in high-paying jobs as delivery drone pilots for Amazon, UPS or Paragon VTOL. The drone academy that took place at BISD’s Cummings Career and Technical Education Certification Center represents the first phase in Paragon’s commitment to the city, GBIC and BISD, officials said. “This is the first drone delivery academy in the United States in partnership with the school system. Keenan Doyle and Johnathan Dayap, of San Diego, Calif.-based Action Drone USA, taught the drone academy, in addition to training 10 BISD instructors who will teach the curriculum to BISD students.

(AP Photo/Julio Cortez)BALTIMORE If the New York Yankees must adjust on the fly to a sudden change in the schedule, there's no team they'd rather face than the Baltimore Orioles. So Major League Baseball thrust the Yankees and Orioles together while the Marlins and Phillies recover. I thought our mindset was really good," New York manager Aaron Boone said of the team's need to change direction without much notice. Orioles: Means was 0-2 with a 12.27 ERA in two starts against the Yankees as a rookie last year.

Dress rehearsal: MLB holds first COVID-era exhibitions

Fake cheers meant to encourage the hometown Nationals accidentally piped through the stadium as the Philadelphia Phillies shortstop rounded the bases.

At Nationals Park, two people watched from a building balcony far beyond the left field wall.
