MIATC Past President, Tom Whittington, kicked off the new school year by attending the Clark Advanced Learning Center’s 20th Anniversary Celebration with Stephanie Etter, Dean of the School of Continuing Education and Adult Education, and Tony George, Chair of the Board of Trustees for Indian River State College.

MIATC continues to work closely with IRSC and our association members to develop a curriculum for marine trades at the college following the ABYC framework. We’ll share more information as soon as the details are firmed up.

Spike Lee is looking back on the days when kids spent their summers running through neighborhoods instead of sitting inside glued to their phones.

During a recent interview with Variety, the legendary filmmaker opened up about how childhood has changed since he was growing up in Brooklyn. While technology has made life more convenient, Lee believes younger generations are missing out on experiences that once brought communities together.

“I don’t want to sound like an old fuddy-duddy but I’m an old fuddy-duddy, but kids used to get together and play on the streets, adults had nothing to do with it, and during summertime you’d have to be back before the lights come on. We played Bootys Up, stickball, stoop ball, you name it.”

Lee explained that children from his generation had to create their own entertainment without smartphones or video games. That meant getting outside, making friends, and finding ways to have fun without adults organizing everything.

Although he acknowledged that technology isn’t entirely bad, the director believes “there is something lost” when children spend more time on screens than interacting with one another.

His memories also connect to his 1994 film “Crooklyn,” which draws inspiration from his family’s upbringing in Brooklyn during the 1970s. The movie captures the neighborhood games, friendships, and family experiences that shaped his childhood.

For Lee, the concern goes beyond screen time. It’s about whether today’s kids are getting the same opportunities to build memories, explore their neighborhoods, and enjoy being young.

Took the bulls by the horns 💪 #DifferentHere

سفارت آمریکا در عربستان سعودی با صدور هشدار امنیتی اعلام کرد: «حوثی‌های مورد حمایت تهران در اقدامات خصمانه علیه عربستان سعودی، از جمله حمله به فرودگاه‌های غیرنظامی و دیگر زیرساخت‌های حیاتی، دست داشته‌اند که به کشته و زخمی شدن غیرنظامیان و اختلالات شدید در سفرها منجر شده است.»

این سفارتخانه هشدار داد که «این اقدامات خصمانه ممکن است به سرعت به مناطقی فراتر از محدوده فعلی گسترش یابد».

وزارت خارجه آمریکا از ۲۳ اکتبر ۲۰۲۶، به دلیل خطرات امنیتی، به کارکنان دولت آمریکا که وظایف اضطراری بر عهده ندارند و اعضای خانواده کارکنان دولت این کشور دستور داده است عربستان سعودی را ترک کنند.

در پی حملات موشکی و پهپادی اخیر به فرودگاه‌های عربستان سعودی، کارکنان دولت آمریکا که در این کشور مشغول به کار هستند، برای استفاده از هر یک از فرودگاه‌های عربستان سعودی باید مجوز ویژه‌ای از رییس نمایندگی دیپلماتیک آمریکا دریافت کنند.

سفارت آمریکا در عربستان سعودی خطاب با شهروندان آمریکایی نوشت: «اگر تصمیم دارید از فرودگاه‌های عربستان سعودی استفاده کنید، نهایت احتیاط را به خرج دهید.»
