A sensory inclusive bag with fidget toys, headphones and a card with pictures and corresponding feelings, put together by Kulture City, is part of the project that students with Leadership Mountain Brook helped implement in local businesses to provide support for individuals with sensory sensitivities at Iberia Bank in Crestline Village.
Leadership is a critical quality to nurture in young people because society canât function without it.
Earthlings and astronauts chat away, via ham radio [Los Angeles Times :: BC-CPT-SPACE-HAMRADIO:LA]
The International Space Station cost more than $100 billion. A ham radio set can be had for a few hundred bucks.
Perhaps that explains, in part, the appeal of having one of humankind’s greatest scientific inventions communicate with Earth via technology that’s more than 100 years old. But perhaps there’s a simpler explanation for why astronauts and ham radio operators have been talking, and talking, for years.
NASA astronaut Doug Wheelock was just a few weeks into his six-month mission at the space station when feelings of isolation began to set in.

Wheelock would be separated from loved ones, save for communication via an internet phone, email or social media. At times, the stress and tension of serving as the station’s commander could be intense.
Ham Radio Links to Earth for Lonely Space Station Astronauts
The first amateur radio transmission from space was in 1983 from astronaut Owen Garriott aboard the Space Shuttle Columbia. He was a licensed ham who used his equipment in Houston to chat with his father in Oklahoma. by Samantha Masunaga, Los Angeles Times / December 23, 2020 NASA astronaut Nick Hague floats inside Europe s Columbus laboratory module during a HAM radio session using the International Space Station s call sign NA1SS in 2019.
