Hedy Lamarr The woman behind today's Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and encryption technology.





Hedy Lamarr, often proclaimed “the most beautiful woman in the world.” The 26-yr-old Lamarr was thriving in Hollywood when, in September 1940, Nazi U-boats hunted down & sank a cruise ship trying to evacuate 90 British schoolchildren to Canada. 77 drowned in the bleak north Atlantic. Lamarr, a Jewish immigrant from Nazi-occupied Austria, who had been making America her home since 1938, was outraged. She fought back by applying her engineering skills to development of a sonar sub-locator used in the Atlantic for the benefit of the Allies.The principles of her work are now incorporated into modern Wi-Fi, CDMA and Bluetooth technology,and this work led to her to be inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame in 2014.

There is no Love in their hearts.


 


Do you know something? It's true that things change...
Change the way you are... your way of seeing the world and the people around you.
There comes a time when you realize there are no monsters behind the closet or under the bed, but they do exist!... that not all roses are roses and that there are many more colors that convey a beautiful feeling... that the black is also taken in summer and that color combinations depend on tastes and souls...
You realize that sometimes... silence is worth and says more than a thousand words, that a simple look or smile can penetrate you and make you fly... and that a few words said in the right way, can fill and comfort you more than an elaborate speech; above all... you realize that, the most sublime and effective way to be happy and cope with this world and those who inhabit it, is to go crazy @...
You realize that real friends are counted on one hand fingers and that betrayal doesn't come from your enemy.. that love can hurt as much as it can make you happy.. that the truth, although it hurts, is better in the long run.. who is not richer who has more... that not everything is what it seems and that many times the easiest path, is usually the most dangerous...
Ultimately, there is no better lesson learned than lived!

6) Never apologize for not embracing someone else's agenda.
7) Never apologize for disagreeing.
8) Never apologize for your faith.
9) Never apologize for your own sense of creativity.
10) Never apologize for ordering dessert.
11) Never apologize for being funny.
12) Never apologize for living your truth.


Every one of us casts a shadow.

There hangs about us, a sort of a strange, indefinable something, which we call personal influence--that has its effect on every other life on which it falls. It goes with us wherever we go. It is not something we can have when we want to have it--and then lay aside when we will, as we lay aside a garment. It is something that always pours out from our lives . . . as light from a lamp, as heat from flame, as perfume from a flower.

The ministry of personal influence is something very wonderful. Without being conscious of it, we are always impressing others by this strange power that exudes from us. Others watch us--and their thinking and actions are modified by our influence."

"Be very careful, then, how you live--not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity." Ephesians 5:15-16
