Today is Professional Engineers Day, launched by the National Society of Professional Engineers in 2016, the day celebrates and raises public awareness of the contributions of licensed professional engineers in U.S. To mark the inaugural Professional Engineers Day in 2016, governors from Kansas, Ohio, Oklahoma, Louisiana, and Wisconsin signed proclamations recognizing the contributions licensed professional engineers make to their states and society. As of 2020, there are ~800K professional engineers.

Today, Professional Engineers make contributions in virtually all areas of society, industry, and economy including, among other things, energy, transportation, manufacturing, communications, environment, mining, building, defense, education, medical, and consumer products.

August 1 - 7 is World Breastfeeding Week, an annual celebration in 120+ countries.

Organized by World Alliance for Breastfeeding Action (WABA), the World Health Organization (WHO), and UNICEF, WBW came up with the goal to promote exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of life which yields many health benefits, providing critical nutrients, protection from deadly diseases such as pneumonia and fostering growth and development.

Breastfeeding Facts
1. Breastfeeding burns between 500-600 calories a day.
2. Breast milk is a living substance that contains live cells, including stem cells, which go on to become other body cell types like brain, heart, kidney, or bone tissue.
3. Breast milk also contains antibodies and live white blood cells that help a baby fight against infection.
4. Colostrum contains special proteins that coat a baby’s intestinal tract to protect from harmful bacteria right from the start.
5. Mother’s brain releases the hormones prolactin and oxytocin during breastfeeding, which help bond with baby and ease those normal feelings of stress and anxiety.
