South Carolina National Guard Soldiers, and fire department/EMS rescuers with the S.C. Helicopter Aquatic Rescue Team (SC-HART) program, S.C. Urban Search and Rescue Task Force 1 (SC-TF1), perform hoist-training operations during the preliminary phases of “Patriot South Exercise 2017” (Patriot South 17), a joint training-exercise focused on natural disaster-response and preparedness, Gulfport and Port Bienville Industrial Complex (PBIC), Mississippi, Jan. 29, 2017. Patriot South 17 is taking place at multiple locations across Mississippi, from January 23 through February 7, 2017, and it offers the National Guard and its local and federal partners a realistic-training opportunity to test response capabilities, procedures, and readiness through a simulated earthquake and Tsunami scenario “hitting the coastal areas of the state.” Specifically, in preparation for future operations, South Carolina’s Headquarters and Headquarters and (-) Company A 2-151st Security and Support Aviation Battalion, 59th Aviation Troop Command, deployed both its current HART-capable platforms, the UH-60L Black Hawk utility helicopter and its LUH-72A Lakota light utility helicopter--the latter being a recent addition to the HART program for South Carolina.

Students and faculty in UF Law’s Environmental and Land Use Law Program’s Spring Break Field Course explored the diverse marine and coastal ecoregion shared by South Florida and the Bahamian archipelago.
The purpose of the week-long course, led by Tom Ankersen, Florida Sea Grant's Legal Specialist, was to provide students a firm grounding in the law, policy and practice of coastal and marine sustainable development through field-based immersion, practitioner lectures, and reflective discussions.
The group traveled from the intensely developed waterfront of Biscayne Bay to the bustling government center of Nassau in the Bahamas, and then on to the quiet, rural family island of Andros, bounded by the great Bahama Bank and the Tongue of the Ocean. While there is a world of difference between the two neighbors separated by the Gulf Stream, they share a remarkably similar ecosystem facing many of the same threats, and common language of the common law.
This year’s Spring Break Field course furthers the UF Law Conservation Clinic’s South Florida Bahamas ecoregional initiative supported by Florida Sea Grant, and in partnership with the Bahamas National Trust.

The most beautiful women in TV and Movie History now become Barbie Collector Dolls created by acclaimed re-paint Artist Donna Brinkley.
Loni Kaye Anderson (born August 5, 1945) is an American actress who is known for her Blond Bombshell looks and hour glass figure. Anderson played the role of Jennifer Marlowe on the CBS television sitcom WKRP in Cincinnati and played Jayne Mansfield and Thelma Todd in television movies.
Loni Anderson was born in St. Paul, Minnesota, August 5, 1945, the daughter of Maxine Hazel (née Kallin), a model, and Klaydon Carl "Andy" Anderson, an environmental chemist and grew up in suburban Roseville. As a senior at Alexander Ramsey Senior High School in Roseville in 1963, she was voted Valentine Queen of Valentine's Day Winter Formal.[citation needed] She attended the University of Minnesota. As she says in her autobiography, My Life in High Heels, her father was originally going to name her Leiloni, but then realized to his horror that when she got to her teen years it was liable to be twisted into Lay Loni. So it was changed to just plain Loni.
Anderson's most famous acting role came as the resourceful receptionist Jennifer Marlowe on WKRP in Cincinnati (1978–1982). She was offered the role when producers saw the poster of her in a red bikini; a pose similar to Farrah Fawcett's. WKRP's creator, Hugh Wilson, admitted that Anderson got the part because She had a body like Jayne Mansfield and the overall sex appeal of Marilyn Monroe. She remained on WRKP until its end in 1982, after four seasons. She and future husband Burt Reynolds made one film together, the 1983 stock-car racing comedy Stroker Ace, a huge box-office failure.
Shortly after her divorce from Reynolds, she appeared as a regular in the final season (1993–1994) on the NBC sitcom Nurses. Anderson portrayed 1950s actress/sex symbol Jayne Mansfield in a made-for-TV biopic, The Jayne Mansfield Story in 1980, with Arnold Schwarzenegger as Mansfield's husband, Mickey Hargitay. She teamed with Wonder Woman actress Lynda Carter in a 1984 television series, Partners in Crime.
Anderson made a series of cameo appearances on television shows in the late 1990s and early 2000s, such as the Spellmans' witch-trash, cousin on Sabrina, the Teenage Witch and Vallery Irons' mother on V.I.P.. In 1991, she played the 1930s comedienne actress, Thelma Todd, in the TV movie White Hot: The Mysterious Murder of Thelma Todd.
Anderson has been married four times; her first three marriages were to: Bruce Hasselberg (1964–1966), Ross Bickell (1973–1981), and actor (and one-time co-star) Burt Reynolds (1988–1993). On May 17, 2008, Anderson married musician Bob Flick, one of the founding members of the folk band The Brothers Four. The couple had met at a movie premiere in Anderson's native Minneapolis a few years after Flick's group hit No. 2 on the pop charts with & Greenfields; in 1960. The ceremony was attended by friends and family, including son Quinton Reynolds.
She has two children: a daughter, Deidra Hoffman (from her first marriage), who is a school administrator in California; and a son, Quinton Anderson Reynolds (born August 31, 1988), whom she and Burt Reynolds adopted. Her autobiography, My Life in High Heels, was published in 1997.
Anderson has been a spokesperson for the National Lung Health Education Program’s campaign to increase awareness about chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Anderson is currently a practicing Lutheran.

Our first projects launched in 2013 With Zimlink, Inphotopia with great success followed by Lawilink and Uprise Albinism in 2015 and London to Freetown in 2019/20. With the recent changes in the world, we now have an opportunity to build a strong foundation in cities, towns and villages across Africa. African Nations have all the skills, resources and vision to shape global communities. VAfrica offers a unique opportunity in the form of; Training open to all socio-economic groups, Online magazines that promote Ideas and creativity. VAfrica can create links and improve upon existing structures between NGO’s, grass roots organisations, Business and government.
In 2015 VAfrica set up an organisation in Malawi Lawilink in an 18-month period Lawilink operated southern region of Malawi through University student volunteers (Blantyre polytechnic) also the community volunteers from Ndirande, Pholombe & the surrounding areas. Creating partnerships between the private sector government and NGOs in the UK, Malawi & Zimbabwe. This project was funded at cost of £105,000.00 with a £30,000.00 return. Lawilink generated new employment opportunities, contributed to government policy, supported the set of new business/organisations and conducted virous educational/training programs. VAfrica with cross party support from the governments of the UK and the participating African nations will raise funds to create hub’s across Africa, using the experience’s we gained on the model’s created in the UK, Malawi and Zimbabwe.
In 2019 VAfrica launched “London to Freetown” connecting artists across the world with North West Africa, driving from London England to Freetown Sierra Leone.

VAfrica works together with African Union nations and the African Economic communities; AMU, CEN-SAD, COMESA, EAC, ECCAS, ECOWAS, IGAD and SADC. To facilitate cultural awareness and socio-economic opportunities and platforms for free thinkers and creatives. Africa is the 2nd Largest continent on the planet, with an area: 30.37 million km², 20 percent of the worlds land mass is Africa. A population of 1.216 billion (2016). Yet in March 2013, Africa was identified as the world's poorest inhabited continent: Africa's entire combined GDP is barely a third of the United States' GDP with a GDP of $2.6 trillion (Nominal) in 2019. Ranking Africa 5th in out of 7 continents in GDP. Although Africa supplies its skilled labor and raw materials to fuel the Global economies. Vafrica will address this imbalance to training, support and implementation of sustainable business/organisations.
VAfrica gives opportunities to all, there is a need for the world to be at peace with Africa at its heart. So much of Africa’s history has been pushed to one side and subverted. As we travel and build the VAfrica program's one of the objectives is to record the stories music poems before they are lost, to tell the stories the world is missing.
