A Short History of Mark Zuckerberg
Mark began writing software and using computers when he was in middle school. His coding experience began with learning Atari basic programming, with the help of his father Edward Zuckerberg, who initially introduced the computer language to the young boy when he was just 6. Mark was learning so fast, that later daddy needed to hire a professional developer to tutor him. David Newman was the man, who was given the task to mentor the young Mark. It was a tough task for the teacher because the student was developing his skills so quickly, that Newman experienced serious difficulties to stay ahead of him. At high school Mark excelled in his classes he won prizes in astronomy, physics, and mathematics. While he was still in high school, he took a college graduate program in computer programming. He built a program called Zucknet where the computer at home could communicate with his father’s computer at his dental practice. He also used his creativity to build computer games often out of ideas his friends would draw for him. Under the name ‘Intelligent Media group’ Mark created a smart music player called “Synapse Media Player” that utilized machine learning to remember and then guess the user’s listening habits and preferences.

The way Asians perceive space is different from the way we Europeans perceive it, and this can be seen in Japanese design, one of the most interesting types of interior design. For Asian peoples, the principles of life revolve around simplicity, elegance, and art, and the main goal it aspires to balance, which can only be achieved through positive energy.

Thomas Bowdler, Political Correctness and Scrabble. Top Story - February 2022.
Our son came to visit back in 2018 and, as is our wont, we played many a game of Scrabble together. We play open book with a dictionary at hand, The Official Scrabble Player's Dictionary. I have an old, slightly battered Second Edition which came out in 1993. My son thought this was a bit outdated and surprised me with a gift of the latest Sixth Edition which includes many new words including emoji, facepalm, bitcoin and listicle. One of the current controversies is over the addition of "ok". Scrabble rules don't permit capital letters or proper names. The word used to be spelled OK but the spelling has been liberalized in recent years to permit ok in lower case. This is anathema to conservative purists but a boon to more liberal players who always are on the lookout for new two letter words.

Trust. The very foundation of childhood development. In our helpless nature as a baby, we depend on our more experienced counterparts for our continued existence - with our nutrition, personal and emotional care all hanging in the balance of an authoritative figure. We form our first connection between trust, reliance and guidance, a bondage we continuously reform at multiple stages in our lives.
