Who Knew???
NATIONAL BARRIER AWARENESS DAY On May 7th each year, we are charged with breaking down obstacles on National Barrier Awareness Day.  We are responsible for dissolving stigmas keeping people with disabilities from advancing in education. It's an opportunity to tear down walls and build ramps that providing access. When we have misunderstandings, see the potential for the development of new technology to bridge the gap. Eliminate antiquated policies preventing those with disabilities from accessing their full potential. If there was ever a time to speak up about the questionable treatment of a human being, National Barrier Awareness Day encourages us to do so now.

A queen termite can live up to 50 years. Termites are industrious little creatures capable of building massive structures for their expansive colonies. But that's not the only remarkable thing about them. The queen termite can also live up to 50 years, which is the longest lifespan of any known insect, according to Smithsonian. For comparison, worker and soldier termites live just one to two years.

Newborn babies don't cry tears. On top of sleeping, eating, and pooping, babies spend plenty of their time crying. However, while they may scream and wail, newborns don't shed tears. That ability takes a while to develop, which is why parents won't start to see actual teardrops form until their baby is between two weeks and three months old.
