The Dangers of Tanning – Indoors or Outdoors

Ever been mistaken for Casper the Friendly Ghost? Even if you’re not quite that white, you might still value a nice tan. Many people think a little color gives them a healthier, maybe even sexier, look.

July 20th is Moon Day!

On July 20, 1969, the lunar module Eagle separated from the command module Columbia. As descent began, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin found that they were passing landmarks on the surface of the moon four seconds early and reported that they were ‘long.”

They would land miles west of their intended target point. The lunar module navigation and guidance computer distracted the crew with several unusual program alarms.

Inside Mission Control Center in Houston, Texas, computer engineer Jack Garman told guidance officer Steve Bales it was safe to continue the descent and this was relayed to the crew.

When Armstrong again looked outside, he saw that the computer’s landing target was in a boulder-strewn area just north and east of a 600-meter diameter crater. Armstrong took a semi-automatic control with Aldren calling out altitude and velocity data, landed on July 20 with about 25 seconds of fuel left.

Did You Know That JULY is National Blueberry Month?

Maine is the blueberry production capital of North America, producing almost 100 percent of all berries harvested in the country. North America is the world’s leading blueberry producer, accounting for nearly 90 percent of world production.

Here are some fun blueberry facts.

• July was designated National Blueberry Month because this month production is at its peak.
• Native Americans once called them “starberries” because the five points of the blueberry blossoms make a star shape.
• Blueberry juice had medicinal value for Native Americans as well, and was used to treat persistent coughs and other illnesses.
• Blueberries were commonly used to make pemmican, a jerky-type of dried food packed for sustenance on long journeys.
• Early settlers of America introduced blueberries into their diets when other food sources were scarce.
• During the Civil War, blueberries were collected, packaged and sent to Union troops for use as a food sample.
• The blueberry muffin is America’s favorite muffin type.
• Blueberries contain more antioxidants than most other fruits or vegetables, and may help prevent damage caused by cancer, heart disease and Alzheimer’s.
