    Good morning! It's the weekend and time for children all around the world to frolic to the PSATs (at least those in 10th grade) and other mere mortals to either rest/relax/work towards launch/familize/brew coffee/etc.! What will you choose? Me, I'm telling my list about Dr Ben's latest at http://askbling.com/smmagician (3 week power immersion mastermind) , Dennis Becker's latest after 9am entitled Unlock the Creator with YOU at http://askbling.com/unlockcreator (supremely good actionable material!!) and I personally will be laying out more goodies for 2014. You?

    Good stuff. Hope they find and destroy the bullies.

    I wanted all of the supporters of Shea, and this anti-bullying movement to know Shea and I are the only ones running this page. Although I have had several people help and donate their time, I wanted ya’ll to know we will personally be responding to every message. They have touched both of us, and we want to personally thank each one of you. This has been a miracle, and life changing for Shea She…See More

    I received an email from iStock with the inline graphic header, Grab Your Free Files Today.

    I cannot help but feel this is a Getty Images trap and that if I’m dumb enough to use one of these “free” images, it’s ultimately going to cost me $850.

    Where would we be without them? 1) Mary Somerville translated many scientific texts and brought the achievements of her scientific contemporaries to a wider audience. Along with Caroline Herschel, Somerville was one of the first women members of the Royal Astronomical Society in 1835. The word “scientist” was coined in a review of one of her books, though it wasn’t applied to Somerville herself. 2) Caroline Herschel was the first woman to discover a comet — and went on to find eight in total. She also discovered several deep-sky objects, including the Sculptor Galaxy. King George III granted Caroline a £50 salary for her work, making her the first woman to earn a living from astronomy. 3) Mary Anning was a fossil hunter whose finds made an important contribution to the understanding of the Earth’s history during her lifetime. She found the very first ichthyosaur skeleton when she was just 12 years old, and the first two plesiosaur skeletons, among many others. 4) Emmy Noether was a leader in developing early abstract algebra. And she proved a theorem, which now bears her name, that links symmetries of nature to physical conversion laws. Einstein called her the “most significant” mathematician of her time. 5) Leavitt gave us the first step on a ladder that we still use to measure cosmic distances today. Working at Harvard College Observatory in 1912 she showed a link between the brightness of a Cepheid variable star and how long it takes to brighten and dim. This property means Cepheid variables are immensely useful for measuring distances in the universe. 6) Alice Catherine Evans was a microbiologist who championed the pasteurisation of milk, after discovering that microbes in unpasteurised milk could sicken humans. She was working at the U.S. Department of Agriculture at the time, but her work was only taken seriously when it was confirmed by other scientists. 7) Annie Maunder was top of her class when she studied mathematics at Cambridge in 1889. But she didn’t receive a BA — they were only awarded to men at the time. She went on to study the sun, in particular the solar cycle, with her husband. They documented what is now known as the Maunder minimum, a period of extreme quiet on the sun in the late 17th century. 8 ) Dorothy Hodgkin developed the technique of protein crystallography and confirmed the structure of penicillin and vitamin B12. She won the Nobel Prize in chemistry in 1964 and was the second woman, the first being Florence Nightingale, to receive the Order of Merit. 9) Meitner was the first woman physics professor in Germany. She was working on nuclear physics with her colleague Otto Hahn when she was forced to flee Nazi Germany in 1938. While in Stockholm she received news from Hahn that their experiment had produced an unexpected element. Meitner realised it meant fission had taken place while Hahn was still trying to figure out what their data meant. He went on to win a Nobel prize for the discovery, while Meitner was left out. 10) Jocelyn Bell Burnell discovered the first pulsar, a fast-rotating, radiation-emitting star made almost entirely of neutrons, when she was a graduate student at Cambridge. Her Ph.D. supervisor Antony Hewish, along with Martin Ryle, went on to win a Nobel prize for their work on the discovery, but Bell Burnell was not included. She went on to be the first female president of the Institute of Physics. Now she is a visiting professor of astrophysics at the University of Oxford. 11) Mildred Dresselhaus is often called the “queen of carbon science” and has been studying it in various forms for over 50 years. Now, graphene is hailed as a wonder material and using carbon in electronics is on the horizon. At 82, she’s still a professor at MIT and recently won the $1 million Kavli prize in nanoscience. 12) Rosalind Franklin earned a Ph.D. in physical chemistry from Cambridge University. She learned crystallography and X-ray diffraction, techniques that she applied to DNA fibers. One of her photographs provided key insights into DNA structure. Other scientists used it as the basis for their DNA model and took credit for the discovery. Via BuzzFeed http://www.buzzfeed.com/kellyoakes/11-unsung-science-heroines-you-really-should-have-heard-of

    There’s a lot of talk that texting is killing the English language, but I disagree… After seeing so many auto-correct bloopers (like Nicole ‘pooping pills’ today  ) I think kids will learn to spell better than ever before, just to prevent such situations…

    Business strategy session Filipino style. Just the way I like it. 

    But seriously… working with these guys makes me proud to be associated with this country.

    The talent, the discipline, the drive and the street smarts… all things I value.

    With entrepreneurs like this, I’m optimistic for the future of this country.

    Apparently, in my geographical location there will be no eclipse tonight. Or stars. Or sky. So being the industrious person that I am, I’ve grabbed an old Bell + Howell projector and will be beaming a continuous image of the moon against the naturally occurring screen that is our current sky.

    In other news, as the fog continues to roll in, the local news is reporting a 70% chance of leper pirate ghosts. Local residents are being warned to stay indoors. John Carpenter was unavailable for comment.

    I agree with Karen Barr – I love seeing successes from within my network.

    If I’m doing services, it would be for at least $97/month. But I’d make the value appear to be $500.
