The Alabama Power Youth Leadership Conference went virtual for the first time Thursday, in a very big way.
More than 3,000 students in west and east Alabama watched the event via live stream from their classrooms and homes.
“We certainly miss seeing our students in person this year, but we didn’t want to miss the opportunity to host this program,” said Mark Crews, Alabama Power Western Division vice president. “By going virtual, we were able to have more students in west Alabama participate.”
Going Green? How the U.S. Military is Building Recycled Missiles
They are more zombies, than renewable.
Here s What You Need to Remember: The Army reportedly saves roughly 50 percent of what it could cost to replace targets over buying new ones and it saves time, too. The old boosters make a more affordable but also far more effective target that can be used in weapon testing.
There have been calls for increased efforts to “recycle” over the years, but this hasn’t always been possible when it comes to military hardware. However, the U.S. Army is now recycling and reutilizing demilitarized rocket motors and even repurposing the materials to make test missiles.

On Sunday morning, two days after Christmas, the Rev. Calvin Brooks gave his holiday sermon, the folksy drawl of a lifelong Alabamian retelling the story of Jesus’ virgin birth. He read the first 20 verses of Luke 2. He urged listeners to allay their worldly fears and find reverence for God. And he testified, “I was taught a long time ago that joy meant this: Jesus first, others next, and yourself last.”
