Spartanburg County Council Unanimously Approves Juneteenth as Official County Holiday

Spartanburg County Council Unanimously Approves Juneteenth as Official County Holiday

Spartanburg County in South Carolina has officially recognized Juneteenth as a county holiday following a unanimous vote by the Spartanburg County Council. This decision means that county buildings will be closed on Juneteenth, though essential services like 911 operations will remain unaffected. District 1 Representative Monier Abusaft, who has advocated for this recognition for approximately six years and is the founder of Juneteenth Inc. in Spartanburg since 2016, highlighted the significance of this move. He stated that the ending of slavery represents the fulfillment of the American dream and the principles laid out in the Declaration of Independence. The county estimates that adding Juneteenth as a paid holiday will incur a cost of around $200,000. Despite the formal recognition being recent, Abusaft noted that the county has historically been the largest sponsor of Juneteenth celebrations in Spartanburg.

NSF Funds ISS National Lab Projects for Advanced Electronics Cooling and Drug Delivery Research in Microgravity

The International Space Station (ISS) National Laboratory and the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) have announced the selection of two new research projects. These projects will utilize the unique microgravity environment of the orbiting laboratory to advance the understanding of fluid transport phenomena. The investigations build upon over a decade of collaboration between the ISS National Lab and NSF, which has supported nearly 100 projects in areas such as biotechnology, fluid dynamics, and combustion. The two newly selected projects will explore fundamental processes relevant to advanced manufacturing, energy systems, and healthcare technologies. Patricia Weisensee from Washington University in St. Louis will lead a project on the melting dynamics of small particles to improve metal 3D printing and applications like drug delivery. Chen Li from the University of South Carolina will investigate slip ratio in microgravity two-phase flows to design more efficient heat-transfer and cooling systems for...
