This announcement is for any students who would like to learn more about the United States Naval Academy as a post-secondary college option.  There will be a bus trip to visit the Academy, which is located in Annapolis Maryland on Saturday March 30th.  The  purpose of this trip is to give interested students and their parents an opportunity to see the Academy first hand, learn about the application/appointment process, and meet with local area high school graduates who are presently midshipmen at the Academy.  If you have an interest in serving your country as an officer, this is a great way to attend college for free, as a degree from the Academy is estimated to be worth approximately $400,000 for the four year program.

New satellite images of North Korea suggest it is restoring a rocket launch site it had pledged to dismantle, say analysts. The images were taken two days after talks between the leaders of the US and North Korea ended without them reaching a deal on denuclearisation. The Tongchang-ri site has been used for satellite launches and engine testing, never for ballistic missile launches. Work to dismantle it began last year but stopped as the US talks stalled. The pledge to dismantle it had been seen as a confidence-building measure between Pyongyang and Washington.

In other news,

Thousands of passengers have been stranded in Kenya's four main airports after a strike by workers caused major disruption to flights. Workers say they are unhappy over a planned merger between the airport authority and the national airline. About 60 flights failed to take off at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport - East Africa's largest. Some planes reportedly left without passengers. Airports in Mombasa, Eldoret and Kisumu are also disrupted. The government has condemned the strike as illegal and Kenyan air force personnel have been brought in to normalise the situation.

On this day in history Michelangelo Buonarroti, the greatest of the Italian Renaissance artists, is born in the small village of Caprese, he grew up in Florence, a center of the early Renaissance movement, and became an artist’s apprentice at age 13. Demonstrating obvious talent, he was taken under the wing of Lorenzo de’ Medici, the ruler of the Florentine republic and a great patron of the arts. For two years beginning in 1490, he lived in the Medici palace, where he was a student of the sculptor Bertoldo di Giovanni and studied the Medici art collection, which included ancient Roman statuary.
