1946: ORNL director Eugene Wigner hands first shipment of radioisotopes to A.U. Cowdry, Director of Barnard Free Skin and Cancer Hospital, St. Louis, Missouri, August 1946.
The first official shipment of a radioisotope produced at a nuclear reactor, carbon-14, is produced at the Graphite Reactor and shipped to Barnard Free Skin and Cancer Hospital in St. Louis in August 1946. During the program’s first year, more than 1,000 shipments of 60 different radioisotopes are used for cancer treatment and as tracers for academic, industrial, and agricultural research. Thousands of radioisotope shipments from the Graphite Reactor will occur between 1946 and 1963.
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.

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.” 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 watch as the new aircraft pulls into position.
Teaching science and technology reached a new height as the Des Moines Public Schools’ Aviation Engineering Technology Program took possession of a Learjet Model 35. The aircraft will be based at the program’s lab, located at the Des Moines International Airport, and used as a teaching tool for high school students studying aviation technology and maintenance.
“At a time when science and technology education has never been more important, we are providing students in Des Moines with a hands-on, high-tech learning experience that will prepare them for great opportunities after high school,” said Jerry Bradley, director of the Aviation Technology Program. “The addition of this Learjet to our ‘teaching fleet’ puts us on the leading edge of high school aviation programs.”
Des Moines Public Schools’ Aviation Engineering Technology Program is one of only three high school programs in the nation certified by the Federal Aviation Administration to teach aircraft maintenance. In fact, the program in Des Moines is the only one of its kind among the nearly 4,000 school districts in the Midwestern states.
The Learjet Model 35 – also classified as a C-21 because of its use as a military transport – is a surplus aircraft from Keesler Air Force Base in Mississippi. It was acquired at a cost of $4,000.
“Des Moines Public Schools is committed to providing students and families with the best educational choices to meet their needs and interests,” added Superintendent Nancy Sebring. “This is one more example of a great opportunity, providing students with a rigorous education and technical skills available in only a few school districts throughout the nation.”

On 7th May 2015 The CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS), East Africa hosted the program’s Independent Science Panel (ISP) and Program Management Committee (PMC) at the Nyando Climate-Smart Villages in Kenya, one of the region’s learning sites. The team visited farmers to see the uptake of various climate- smart technologies that have made them food secure and increased their adaptive capacity to climate variability. The climate –smart farmers have not only increased their yields but have also become champion farmers (examples) for the community to emulate.

Laughter THERAPY
Have a hearty laugh at least two to three times a day, if you want to keep the doctor away. The more you laugh the longer you live. We mostly laugh at the foolish acts of others, but we must learn to laugh at ourselves. A humor is a universal language. It brings other people in and breaks down barriers. Best of all it is free and has no side effects. Finding humors in a situation and laughing freely with others can be a powerful antidote to stress.
Laughing is a mighty medicine for many diseases. Laughing gives us the ability to find delight, experience joy, and to releases tension. Laughter help increase the level of feel good chemicals in the body.
Laughing increases the flow of blood and oxygen to the brain, which provides a cleansing of sorts, laughing is found to lower blood pressure reduce stress hormones, sharpen the memory, releases endorphins that effect the immune system, and increases circulation and digestive enzyme secretion etc. Laughing is like an aerobics workout for diaphragms that increases the body’s ability to seek oxygen. Frequent belly laughter empties your lungs of more air than it takes in resulting in a cleansing effect similar to deep breathing.
Laughing is not just excising your face muscles it’s also about pleasing your mind, body and soul. Laughing is such a great quality which is posses by Human being alone amongst all living beings
Doing work with pleasure is an exceeding interesting and satisfying feeling? It lighters the job and works and you feel that you are a valuable person for the society. The ability to laugh at a situation or problem gives us a feeling of superiority and power. Laughing can foster a positive and hopeful attitude. Laughing removes tension, gives Peace to mind, and save from heart problems .Because laughing will keep you always in a positive frame of mind, when we laugh changes take in the chemical formation of our body that prohibit tension.
Even now days hospitals around the country are incorporating laughter therapy program’s into there therapeutic regimens. Even doctors believe that 15 minutes of laughter therapy could produce two hours of pain free sleep. “The more you laugh, the longer you live.”

After spending nearly six months in a disciplined, military-style environment, 65 at-risk Maryland teens marked the culmination of a voluntary decision to change their futures for the better during a commencement ceremony at the Maryland National Guard Fifth Regiment
Armory in Baltimore, June 11.
In front of military and business leaders, mentors, family and friends, cadets from the Freestate ChalleNGe Academy Class #46 received course completion certificates, indicating their successful completion of the program’s rigorous residency phase.
The Maryland National Guard Freestate Challenge Academy, or FCA, at Aberdeen Proving Ground, provides Maryland at-risk youth, ages 16-18, who have withdrawn from high school a second chance at
an education, and an opportunity to become responsible and productive citizens. During the 22-week residential phase teens complete academic coursework in a highly disciplined, military-style environment.
Most choose higher education or enter the military after graduation. Keynote speaker APG Senior Commander Maj. Gen. Bruce T. Crawford thanked attendees for supporting FCA.
Adjutant General of Maryland Maj. Gen. Linda Singh encouraged the cadets to never give up on their dreams, and urged them to not fall back on their old habits.
“If you had the fortitude to make it to today, you have what it takes to be successful going forward,” she said. “You have what it takes.”
