How Did the Penguin Get its Name?
These days, we all know what a penguin looks like. Even if you haven’t seen a real, live penguin, I’m sure you have seen pictures, perhaps watched them in a film.

Fact or Fable? Most body heat is lost through the head
Many people believe that you should keep your head covered during cold weather, as most body heat is lost through the head.

And our heads and faces are more sensitive to changes in temperature than other parts of the body.
Great Women You Should Know… Hedy Lamar
You probably do not know who the actor Hedy Lamarr was as her last film credit was in 1958. If you ask your parents they may have a vague recollection or at least know her name.

She was a philosopher and, most importantly this month as we remember the World Wars and the sacrifices made during those wars, she was an inventor. She and avant-garde composer George Antheil worked together to create the first broad-spectrum frequency hopping wireless communications.
“What on earth is that?”, you’re probably thinking!
