A New Deep Sea Remotely Operated Vehicle Coming to USM
SUMMARY: The University of Southern Mississippi (USM) is set to operate a new remotely operated vehicle (ROV) funded by NOAA and NSF to enhance research and restoration efforts in the Gulf of Mexico. Scheduled for construction in 2024, this medium-size ROV aims to improve accessibility for oceanographic research by functioning on multiple ships. USM’s Associate VP Dr. Leila Hamdan emphasizes that this initiative will aid in workforce development and blue economy growth, particularly for students in USM’s Ocean Engineering program. The ROV will support restoration projects addressing habitat damage from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, facilitating significant scientific discoveries.

All About Bacon | Our Mississippi Home
SUMMARY: Bacon, dating back to 1500 BCE, originated with the Chinese salting pork belly, later embraced by the Romans and spread throughout medieval Europe. It preserves pork through smoking, enhancing its flavor, which is primarily due to its fat content. Globally, bacon has various names, such as “rasher” in the UK and “speck” in Italy. Its versatility is evident in dishes like bacon sandwiches, breakfast combos, and vegetable pairings. Commonly smoked with hickory and other woods, bacon can be fried or baked, while different brands, like Benton’s from Tennessee, offer unique flavors. Bacon remains a beloved culinary staple worldwide.
