    FIRST U.S. SATELLITE LAUNCH FAILS
    December 6, 1957 - United States

    In 1957, America's first attempt at putting a satellite into orbit failed when the Vanguard rocket carrying it blew up on the launch pad at Cape Canaveral, Florida. With a series of rumbles audible for miles around, the vehicle, having risen about four feet into the air, suddenly sank. Falling against the firing structure, fuel tanks rupturing as it did so, the rocket toppled to the ground on the northeast or ocean side of the structure in a roaring, rolling, ball-shaped volcano of flame.

    INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION
    December 6, 1998 - Space, Endeavour

    Astronauts aboard the space shuttle Endeavour in orbit over the southern Pacific Ocean used a robot arm to begin assembly of the International Space Station. Endeavour was launched on 4 Dec 1998, and reached the already orbitting Zarya, a 22-ton, a U.S.-funded, Russian-built module launched earlier. In preparation, on 5 Dec, Unity was removed from the cargo bay and connected to Endeavour's docking system. Unity, the first U.S.-built component of the ISS was built as a six-sided connecting module, 18-ft long and 15-ft diameter with six berthing ports. On 6 Dec 1998, Zarya was connected to Unity at the port opposite the Shuttle and cables, connectors and hand rails were attached during three space walks. By 7 Dec, Unity was ready and powered up.

    about Eyesight Myth and Fact

    Myth: Staring at a computer screen all day is harmful to the eyes. Fact: Spending the day staring at a screen can tire or strain your eyes, but it will not hurt them. Make sure lighting doesn't create a glare on your screen. When spending long periods at your keyboard, take a break now and then to rest your eyes to reduce fatigue. Also, don't forget to blink. Your eyes need to stay lubricated to feel comfortable.

Social Media is a current phenomenon that has reached out and touched just about every media and online professional today. Whether you are an e-commerce entrepreneur, the webmaster of an online information portal, or just someone who likes to blog on a free blogging platform like Blogspot, Typepad or Wordpress, social media will soon become a part of your online and even offline presence if it has not become one already. When the power of social media is used to generate new opportunities and avenues of business in unchartered territories, it is called social media optimization. You have most definitely heard of social media optimization and the Web 2.0 phenomenon in all types of contexts - on Internet forums, on discussion boards and even during overheard water cooler babble.

But did you know that social media is serious business? The Dynamics of Social Media Optimization Before we tell you about social media optimization and what it can do for you, we should tell you a little about social media on the Internet. Cyber space provides a uniquely dynamic springboard today for millions of web surfers to make friends, win friends and influence people virtually. It all started with simple live chat and community chat rooms. It gradually expanded into full-fledged scheduled activity on websites such as FaceBook, Twitter and MySpace -- websites that were set up primarily as platforms for individuals to hang out and connect with one another. Online communities in which birds of a feather quickly began flocking together virtually mushroomed overnight.

Today, there are millions of social media websites also known as social networking websites or Web 2.0 websites that are entirely devoted to even the most esoteric and remote hobbies, disciplines and professions. Social Media and the Online Entrepreneur If you are profiled on social media websites for business professionals such as Jig Saw, Spoke, Linked In, Zoom Info, Tribe, Plaxo, Ryze or any one of a number of niche sites dedicated to your industry segment or business, you will notice the difference it will make to your productivity and profitability in less time than you think.
