Break 1: PEGGY SLAPPY
STORY 1: Ukraine native earns prestigious EAGLE award at Gwinnett Technical College
Anastasiia Pliashko, a resident of Cumming, has been selected to represent Gwinnett Technical College at the EAGLE Leadership Institute in March 2024. EAGLE, which stands for Exceptional Adult Georgian in Literacy Education, honors students demonstrating superior achievement in adult education. Pliashko, originally from Ukraine, arrived in the U.S. in August 2022. She enrolled in Gwinnett Tech's HSE program to earn her GED and plans to pursue an associate degree in business management. Pliashko expressed gratitude for the recognition, stating that being named the EAGLE winner has boosted her confidence and provided motivation to achieve her goals.
STORY 2: Ponies treat hospital patients by relieving stress, boosting mental health
Lindsey Head, 56, initiated Pixie and Pickles Adventures, a program that utilizes ponies for therapy in hospitals. The seven well-trained ponies, visiting Lister Hospital in Stevenage, Herts., provide stress relief and mental health benefits to patients. Lindsey, a ward sister, started the venture after witnessing the positive impact on her late father in a care home. The therapy ponies, wearing diapers and maintained with high hygiene standards, engage with patients, bringing temporary relief and joy. The program has grown, securing regular visits to the hospital and sparking discussions with Great Ormond Street. The ponies' visits complement the support provided by 14 therapy dogs at Lister Hospital, contributing to patient well-being and staff morale.
STORY 3: Meditating can slash stress and anxiety for nurses: study
Research indicates that Transcendental Meditation (TM) significantly reduced stress, anxiety, and burnout among frontline nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study involved 104 nurses in three Florida hospitals, with the TM group showing a 62% decrease in anxiety, 57% reduction in PTSD, and 24% decrease in burnout over three months, compared to minimal changes in the control group. TM, a simple technique practiced twice daily for 20 minutes, is not a religion or philosophy and aims to calm the mind. The study highlights TM's potential to enhance nurses' well-being and retain them in practice during challenging healthcare scenarios.

STORY 4: First map of human limb development looks like a masterpiece
Scientists have provided unprecedented insights into human limb development, using spatial cell atlas technology to map the cellular landscape and processes during the early stages of limb formation. The study reveals that human fingers and toes do not grow outward but form from within a foundational bud, with "orchestrated cell death" revealing well-defined shapes after around seven weeks of development. The research, part of the Human Cell Atlas initiative, could have implications for treating muscle-related disorders or injuries and impact the diagnosis and treatment of congenital limb syndromes. The atlas provides a resource for understanding the complexity of limb development.
STORY 5: Latino voters concerned about economy, feel neither party pays them close attention, poll says
A UnidosUS survey of Latino voters in Georgia reveals that, with less than a year until the 2024 election, these voters are concerned about economic issues. While they align more with the Democratic Party on average, majorities believe both parties either don't care much about or are hostile toward their community. The top three issues for Latino voters are inflation (53%), jobs and the economy (47%), and healthcare (41%). The survey indicates that both parties need to engage more with Hispanic voters and address their concerns, with a focus on economic issues.
