SPOTLIGHT By Serena Harris
Tony Hansberry II Genius Knows No Age Limit
37 – 1966mag.com
Perhaps you have heard the expression, “this is the greatest thing since sliced bread!” Bread had been around since the beginning of civilization, but once it was cut into slices a whole new world of culinary possibilities opened up, not the least of which was the ability to easily make sandwiches. But what has any of this got to do with being a genius? Well meet Tony Hansberry II, student of DarnellCookman Middle/High School, a magnet school located in Jacksonville, Florida that specializes in all things medical. The school is so committed to the medical field that students learn how to master suturing by the eighth grade. Tony is the son of an African Methodist Episcopal Church pastor father and registered nurse mother. Tony was an intern at the University of Florida’s Center for Simulation Education and Safety Research based at Shands Jacksonville. It was at this esteemed university that Tony had his “sliced bread” moment. He developed a process of sewing up patients who have been given hysterectomies which will reduce the risk of complications and make it easier to perform the difficult procedure for less experienced surgeons. By the way Tony was 14 when he made this breakthrough! One professor said that what Tony accomplished is quite complicated and to help us non-medical people understand the procedure he used this analogy, “Instead of buttoning your shirt side to side, what about doing it up and down?” What that means is that it was difficult for surgeons to properly stitch closed the tube where the patient’s uterus had been. Tony’s idea was to stitch or suture the tube closed vertically instead of horizontally and his idea worked. Thanks to Tony’s innovation, the surgical time has been reduced and will be helpful to many surgeons who don’t often perform hysterectomies. No doubt with this sort of forward thinking, Tony will be able to realize his dream of becoming a University of Florida trained neurosurgeon. We’re betting this won’t be the last we hear of this bright, young genius!

SUMMER ACTIVITIES WE ALL ENJOY
Summer is in full swing! Don’t you just love it! Plus, it is the perfect time of the year to indulge in pleasure and leisure. The lazy summer days are the time when the warm breeze creates ripples in lakes and hearts alike, flowers bloom bright and radiant and young hearts find joy. It’s the time to enjoy the thrill that the season brings. The beaches, barbeque, camping, fishing - all the things that make summer the great time it is. So, if you are looking to indulge in some fun and thrilling activities before the end of summer, here’s a list of five summer activities:
45 – 1966mag.com
SUMMER ACTIVITES 1. Hit the beach Beaches are the best place to be in the summer. There’s nothing like a lazy summer day at the beach with hamburgers on the grill and fresh, ice-cold lemonade. Summertime you will find beaches crowded with all the beach enthusiasts enjoying the sun with friends and family. Don’t leave out the children. Watch them have a great time building sand castles and running around in sheer joy. 2. Summer sports Summer is the time people hit the great outdoors ready to play their favorite sports. Beach volleyball is a common sight. Rafting, surfing, swimming, waterskiing are also popular sports activities during summer beach outings. To keep cool many indulge in ice-sports such as ice-skating, ice hockey and snowboarding. Cycling, diving, tennis, baseball and golf are also popular outdoor activities. 3. Fishing During summer, many different fish varieties are available to anglers. As a general rule, the best time for fishing is at dusk and dawn. . During this time of the year, estuaries and coastal waters are filled with fish. Some popular catch are spotted seatrout, red drum, flounders, red rock, black drum, pompano and more.
4. Summer camps Camps are a favorite during the summer season especially with children. Summer camp conjures up colorful and zesty images of different fun activities. However, summer camps also serve specific purposes. There are camps for computer learning, performing arts, for children with special needs and for weight loss programs. Summer camps are the place where children spend an extended period of time away from home for the first time. It provides them the opportunity to develop character, boost conference, make new friends, build up confidence and discover new interests. 5. Relax and enjoy Summer is also the time to indulge in the luxury of relaxation - be it snoozing off in a hammock, sailing in a boat, or bird-watching. This is what lazybones love to do during the summer months.

THE KEY TO
ACHIEVING
FLAT ABS Summer is in full effect and we all want to have hot, toned, beach bodies to show off. For most women we want to have flat stomachs with nicely sculpted abs, but we know the abs just don’t miraculously show up. We have to work to get those abs and we may automatically think we need to do about a gazillion crunches to get the results we want.
47 – 1966mag.com
Well ladies think again. Doing crunches will only take you so far, the key is to work on reducing your stomach and/or abdominal fat which involves a combination of diet and exercise. You may not be able to see your abs right now because they are buried under a bunch of stomach fat, but they are there just waiting to be unveiled by you. Once you start reducing the stomach fat, the abs will start to appear and then you can do the exercises necessary to help further tone and enhance them.
48 – 1966mag.com
The following is a list of foods to add to your diet which help you reduce your stomach fat so you can watch your abs go from flabby to flat. •Almonds – They are a great source of magnesium which is a must have mineral for your body that produces energy, builds and maintains muscle tissue and controls blood sugar. Regulating your blood sugar levels helps to prevent food cravings that can lead to overeating and weight gain. •Eggs – They provide proteins and amino acids which do everything from manufacturing muscle fibers to brain chemicals. Also researchers at the Pennington Biomedical Research Center discovered that people who ate eggs in the morning felt less hungry throughout the day than when breakfast contained complex carbohydrates like bagels. •Apples – The journal Nutrition conducted a study and learned that overweight women who ate three apples or pears a day for three months lost more weight than women who were fed a similar diet and given oat cookies instead of fruit. A large apple can contain up to five grams of fiber and is made up of about 85% water which helps you to feel full when you eat it.
•Vegetable Soup – You will be more successful losing weight by eating a brothbased soup two times a day as opposed to eating a snack food with the same amount of calories as the soup. Studies also show that people who eat the soup tend to maintain a total weight loss of 16 pounds after one year. Clearly, eating soup helps get the weight off and keeps it off! •Yogurt – The pro-biotic bacteria in most yogurts keep the digestive track healthy which leads to less gas, bloating and constipation that can cause your stomach to look fat and bloated. •Leafy Greens – Excellent sources of fiber and calcium and are low in calories which will help to shrink your waistline. Eat plenty of spinach, kale, collard, mustard and turnip greens, they are a great way to increase your energy before your next workout.

Try incorporating these foods into your daily diet and before you know it you will be the beauty on the beach and the toast of the town!

The sparkling blue of the ocean laps against the white sands of a calm, quiet beach. The hot and intense summer sun hangs in the blue sky above. People flock under the shady spots on the beach, either from the palm trees and their leaves or an arrangement of umbrellas in the sand. The clink of glasses and bottles is heard as people hydrate themselves. More chairs and tables are needed as more people gather. Bringing furniture to a beach gathering is extremely smart, and with portable furniture this becomes quite an easy task. On the beach, sand is a major player, and the furniture needs to be resistant to the detrimental effects of it as well. Beach furniture is a very common find in the cars of those who enjoy outdoor activities. The variety of beach furniture is nearly limitless. Beach furniture reacts well to the same environment they are specialized for - the sea and the shore. One of the most important aspects of beach furniture is that it needs to be built to resist both sea salt corrosion and sand wear. Beach furniture is possibly the most portable type of furniture on the market today. These pieces are often built to be able to fold easily and into compact shapes.
53 – 1966mag.com
The joints of beach furniture are very small with large sleeves to accommodate bending. This enables the furniture to be folded into a very small shape. This size allows for easy packing in cars and overall portability. Packing trunks for camping or other outdoor excursions is made easier. Brass is one of the few metals that resist sea salt and its corrosion, which is why beach furniture can use this metal well. Brass can also simply be the coating for these pieces as well. Cloth that is light but sturdy is used to cross over the bars of these pieces, which enables the folding of the furniture. The ease of replacing the cloth of these chairs makes them last for a very long time. Replacing the pieces of cloth can result in these items seeming like new. Other types of this furniture are crafted from metal, plastic, or wood. The advantage of wood over metal is that wood does not rust. Wood, however, is very heavy when compared to lightweight metal furniture. Woods most suited for beach environments are lightwoods like ash. Driftwood is also used in an ironic and eccentric way to make these pieces. The fragility of driftwood is offset by its unmatched silky texture.
