Teen drug use hasn’t rebounded from its drop during the early years of the COVID-19 pandemic, according to the results from a large annual national survey released Tuesday. About two-thirds of 12th graders this year said they hadn’t used alcohol, marijuana, cigarettes or e-cigarettes in the previous 30 days. That’s the largest proportion abstaining since the annual survey started measuring abstinence in 2017. Among 10th graders, 80% said they hadn’t used any of those substances recently, another record. Among 8th graders, 90% didn’t use any of them, the same as was reported in the previous survey By: Mike Stobbs https://lnkd.in/ggr_pSe4

Yet in late October 2023, at the age of 94, Grandma Joy stood on the icy shores of Antarctica, celebrating a momentous milestone. Together with her grandson, Brad Ryan, she had successfully visited all seven continents, proving that adventure has no expiration date. https://lnkd.in/em6a7TDX

Great oaks from little acorns grow – and when a 45-metre-tall oak falls in a storm, it’s turned into a table capable of seating 60. It’s not the original proverb but it is the premise of a community-powered project that has seen an 18-metre-long (59ft) Great Oak Table – plus accompanying benches – spring up on a patch of private woodland near Chagford, on the edge of Dartmoor. It comes after locals raised £22,555 to transform a 500-year-old oak tree that fell in a storm 15 years ago into what they believe is the longest table ever to be crafted from a single oak tree https://lnkd.in/e_VSnPUF
