July 24th: National Amelia Earhart Day, National Thermal Engineer Day, National Tequila Day, National Drive-Thru Day and National Cousins Day

Author and American aviation pioneer, Amelia Mary Earhart was born on July 24, 1897. Earhart flew solo across the Atlantic Ocean on May 20, 1932. As a result, she became the first woman pilot (aviatrix) to complete the journey. Setting this record earned Earhart the United States Distinguished Flying Cross. Her accomplishments would inspire women around the globe to the world of aviation. She received many other records. She wrote best-selling books about her flying experiences. Earhart was instrumental in the formation of The Ninety-Nines (an organization for female pilots). She joined the Purdue University aviation department faculty in 1935 as a visiting faculty member to counsel women on careers and help to inspire others with her love for aviation. She was a member of the National Woman’s Party. She was a supporter of the Equal Rights Amendment. Amelia Earhart disappeared in July of 1937, over the central Pacific Ocean near Howland Island, during an attempt to make a circumnavigational flight of the globe in a Purdue-funded Lockheed Model 10 Electra. Fascination with her life, career, and disappearance continues to this day. A recently discovered photograph has renewed interest in her disappearance and possible survival as a Japanese prisoner. Whether or not the mystery will ever be solved remains to be seen. Thermally speaking, July 24 is an excellent day to acknowledge National Thermal Engineer Day. Advanced Thermal Solutions, Inc. (ATS) firmly believes in the importance of advancing the thermal engineering industry and is committed to providing the electronics industry with innovative, high-quality and cost-effective thermal management and electronics packaging solution. Electronics thermal management is pivotal for their longevity and reliable operations, yet thermal engineers who make this possible receive little to no recognition. Irrespective of the market sector, whether consumer electronics, large datacenters or cutting-edge biomedical and aerospace electronics, without thermal engineer’s contributions, the electronics that are an integral part of today’s life and the cornerstone of our nation’s technological advancement would not be possible. As a result, with the passion to understand and work with heat management.

Grab a lime and the salt it’s National Tequila Day! Made from the blue agave plant, tequila has a deep and storied history. Named after the small town of Tequila in a valley west of Guadalajara in Jalisco, Mexico, the spirit was known as mezcal wine about the time the conquistadors came to the continent. While there are a variety of succulents in Mexico used for several purposes, only one produces the nectar to distill tequila. Blue Agave, raised in the highlands region, grows larger in size and sweeter in aroma and taste. Agave grown in the lowland regions have a more herbaceous fragrance and flavor. In Mexico, legislation protects the manufacture of tequila. The law states tequila is only tequila if it is produced within Jalisco. The law limits production to regions in the states of Guanajuato, Michoacan, Nayarit, and Tamaulipas. However, the same ingredients distilled anywhere else cannot be labeled tequila.

The law limits production to regions in the states of Guanajuato, Michoacan, Nayarit, and Tamaulipas. If the same ingredients are distilled anywhere else, it’s not tequila. Equally enjoyed in cocktails such as the margarita or tequila sunrise, a good tequila can be savored like a good whiskey. Tequila is experiencing a renaissance of sorts as savvy drinkers discover tequila doesn’t have to be the firewater of our youth. (Remember always to drink responsibly and never drink and drive).

The drive-thru is the iconic measure of convenience. People have enjoyed this service since the 1930s. The drive-thru format was pioneered in the United States for banking services. Restaurants, coffee shops, liquor stores, pharmacies and many more services utilize drive-thrus for quick service.

National Cousins Day is a day to let all of your cousins know how much you appreciate them. Cousins often spend much time together at family reunions, holidays, birthday parties, weddings, anniversaries and many other countless family get-togethers. They entertain each other, play and bond while adults are busy with other things. Cousins often end up being lifelong friends.

Sending hugs for all
