TRIVIA TODAY - Friday, January 23, 2015
Greetings Infomaniacs, Congratulations to "
Melody May" who won this week's "Mind Scrambler". Here was the scrambler:
I am very easily missed,
and often overlooked,
I come to some people,
others must search,
Once you find me you must take advantage,
for I may be gone before you know,
What am I?
ANSWER: Opportunity.
Enjoy!

HINT: (1832-1898), was an English writer, mathematician, logician, Anglican deacon and photographer.
RANDOM TIDBITSFlorence Nightingale was born in Florance (Tuscany, Italy) in 1820 to William and Fanny Nightingale.
She had to go to Germany to study nursing. Her main encouragement came from Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell, the first officially qualified female doctor in the United States.
She was an outstanding mathematician and statistician. She didn't invent the pie chart, but she used it and other innovative methods of data presentation.
Florence, who had rejected a traditional gender role, ended up helping soldiers by organizing other women to bake biscuits and do laundry. One of her key complaints about military medical care was the horrid food and filthy clothing.
Florence really did walk around with a lamp. She was the only woman allowed in the wards at night, when male orderlies were in charge of the hospital floor.
Even as an invalid - which she was for a quarter century, because of her brucellosis - she advised, watched and assisted the growth of her profession.
