Space enthusiasts and media around the world are gearing up for an exciting Earth-to-space call scheduled with NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams. This news conference is set to take place aboard the International Space Station (ISS) on Friday, September 13, at 2:15 p.m. EDT. The astronauts, who are currently part of Expedition 71/72, will share insights from their experiences in low Earth orbit.

Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams

NASA will stream the event live on NASA+, the NASA app, and the agency’s website, offering various platforms for viewers to tune in and experience the wonders of space exploration directly from its current pioneers. The coverage promises not only to highlight the astronauts’ daily activities and scientific endeavors but also provide a real-time connection with those orbiting our planet.

Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams were launched into space aboard Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft on June 5, marking its first crewed flight. They arrived at the ISS the following day. Following a decision to bring back the Starliner uncrewed, the duo’s stay has been extended, and they are now slated to return to Earth in February 2025 with the SpaceX Crew-9 mission aboard a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft.

For media looking to participate in the news conference, NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston must be contacted for accreditation by 5 p.m., Thursday, September 12. Media members will need to dial into the conference at least 10 minutes before it begins to ask their questions.

This event offers an invaluable opportunity for the public and the media to engage directly with the astronauts, gaining a deeper understanding of life in space and the ongoing research and operations that continue to push the boundaries of human spaceflight. As Wilmore and Williams continue their critical work on the ISS, this news conference is a much-anticipated chance to connect with the heroes of our final frontier.

As of September 6, 2024, Milo’s Poultry Farms, LLC, headquartered in Bonduel, Wisconsin, has issued a voluntary recall of all its egg products due to possible contamination with Salmonella. This recall applies to both “Milo’s Poultry Farms” and “Tony’s Fresh Market” branded eggs, spanning across various retail stores and foodservice distributors in Wisconsin, Illinois, and Michigan.

What You Need to Know

Salmonella is a bacteria that can cause serious and occasionally fatal infections, particularly in young children, the elderly, and individuals with weakened immune systems. Healthy individuals infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (potentially bloody), nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. In severe cases, the infection can result in the bacteria entering the bloodstream and causing more critical conditions such as infected aneurysms, endocarditis, and arthritis.

Scope of the Recall

The recall encompasses:

• All carton sizes and types of eggs under the “Milo’s Poultry Farms” label, across all expiration dates.
• All carton sizes of “Tony’s Fresh Market” branded eggs, applicable to all expiration dates.
• All cases of eggs intended for retail foodservice distribution, regardless of expiration dates.

Reason for the Recall

The recall was triggered after environmental samples collected by the FDA tested positive for Salmonella. Further investigations through whole genome sequencing linked these samples to an ongoing outbreak of Salmonella, prompting immediate action by Milo’s Poultry Farms.

Consumer Safety Measures

Milo’s Poultry Farms, LLC has temporarily halted production and distribution of the affected products to conduct necessary testing and sanitization processes at their facilities.

What Should Consumers Do?

Customers who have purchased any of the recalled eggs are strongly advised not to consume them. These products should be discarded immediately or returned to the place of purchase for a full refund.

Consumers with additional questions or concerns can reach out directly to Milo’s Poultry Farms, LLC at (715) 758-6709 for further guidance and support.

Stay Informed

Salmonella is an ongoing risk in uncooked poultry and eggs. Consumers are reminded to cook eggs thoroughly before consumption to kill bacteria and prevent illness. Stay updated with food recall alerts and safety guidelines to ensure the health and safety of you and your family.

Remember, food safety is paramount. Keep abreast of the latest FDA warnings and manufacturer recalls to safely navigate any potential health risks associated with contaminated products.

About the FDA

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is a U.S. federal agency responsible for protecting public health by ensuring the safety, efficacy, and security of human and veterinary drugs, biological products, and medical devices. The FDA also regulates the nation’s food supply to safeguard against contamination and prevent foodborne illnesses. One of its key functions is monitoring and managing food recalls when potential risks are identified, ensuring that hazardous foods are quickly and effectively removed from the market. The FDA issues alerts to inform the public about foodborne illness outbreaks, working collaboratively with manufacturers to recall affected products and maintain the safety and integrity of the food supply chain.

James Earl Jones

The world has bid farewell to one of its most profound voices, both literally and metaphorically. James Earl Jones, a venerated icon whose deep timbre and formidable presence captivated audiences for more than seven decades, passed away at his home in Pawling, New York, on September 9, 2024, at the age of 93.

Born on January 17, 1931, in Arkabutla, Mississippi, Jones overcame a stutter to speak resonant truths on the American stage, in the halls of Hollywood, and beyond. His journey from a quiet child who found solace in poetry and acting to a celebrated thespian and cultural pillar is nothing short of inspirational. A distinguished figure in American theater and cinema, Jones achieved the rare and prestigious EGOT status, having won Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony Awards throughout his illustrious career.

A Legacy of Diversity and Dynamic Roles

Jones’s influence stretched across every medium: from the boards of Broadway where he became a Tony-awarded actor, to the vast universe of “Star Wars” as the voice of Darth Vader, creating perhaps one of the most instantly recognizable voices in film history. His powerful performances were never confined to just one genre. He adeptly traversed from dramatic territories in films like “The Great White Hope” and “Cry, the Beloved Country,” to comedic roles in “Coming to America” and family classics like “The Lion King,” where his voice brought Mufasa to life.

Broadway and Beyond

Jones made his Broadway debut in 1957 and quickly found his footing on stage with notable performances in Shakespeare’s “Othello” and as Jack Jefferson in “The Great White Hope,” a role that earned him his first Tony Award. His portrayal of Troy Maxson in August Wilson’s “Fences” further cemented his legacy as a leading actor and a voice for powerful, introspective narratives concerning the African American experience.

The Voice That Commanded Attention

Apart from his roles in film and theater, Jones’s voice became emblematic of authority and depth. He lent this iconic voice to CNN, bringing a distinctive sound that defined the network’s branding for years. His vocal legacy also includes various books and narrations, forever preserving his rich, resonant tone.

Tributes Pour In

Following his passing, tributes from every corner of the entertainment industry have highlighted his influence. From Kevin Costner and Mark Hamill to newer voices like Viola Davis and Kerry Washington, all have expressed their grief and gratitude towards Jones’s contributions. Organizations from MLB to SAG-AFTRA and institutions like the University of Michigan, where Jones studied, have all honored his memory.

An Emblem of Dignity and Grace

Critics and actors alike, including Alec Baldwin and Viola Davis, have cited Jones as not only a seminal actor but also a cornerstone for Black excellence and dignity in Hollywood. His roles often exuded a moral force, embodying characters that transcended societal limitations and spoke to the core human experience of struggle, resilience, and hope.

James Earl Jones’s death marks the end of an era, but his legacy is indelible. He used his voice as an instrument of change, his performances as windows into the souls of often complex characters, and his career as a platform to elevate discussions on art, culture, and humanity. As we remember James Earl Jones, we not only celebrate his myriad contributions but also the indomitable spirit of a man who believed in the power of words and the potential of art to transform lives. His enduring influence will continue to inspire generations to come, ensuring that his rich, reverberating voice will never truly be silenced.
