The Flames.

Mark Zuckerberg and wife Priscilla Chan pledged this week to give away 99% of their Facebook shares, currently valued at $45 billion, to tackle some of the world's most complex problems over the couple's lifetime.

The pledge is one of the largest philanthropic gifts in history, but that does not mean the funds are earmarked for traditional philanthropic institutions.

The Zuckerberg Chan initiative is set up as a limited liability company or LLC, owned and controlled by Zuckerberg, not as a charitable trust or a private foundation. The structure gives the couple great latitude and flexibility both in the investments they make, from funding nonprofit organizations to making private investments to taking public stands on public policy issues, and in the activities they engage in. The couple will have the freedom to lobby lawmakers or engage in political activities and will be able to more easily enter into joint ventures with for-profit organizations.

Together with George Antheil, she submitted the idea of a secret communication system in June 1941 and in 1942 received US Patent 2,292,387.

In essence, the patent covered an early version of frequency hopping used a piano roll to change between 88 frequencies and was intended to make radio-guided torpedoes harder for enemies to detect or jam.

What can follow that share ?
Bushman.... That is multi-leveled deep wide and full of - 'ahh yes, I think I see' - moments.

I deleted that other thread I started...
'Post Drunk While Posting Night Friday Duh'
I was being sarcastic and on second thought,
just because I no longer imbibe doesn't mean I shouldn't try,
and let others have their fun.

Here was the poem though...

jus sayin'

I used to post drunk
Until one day I thunk
In the back of my mind
Something finally went clunk
And I cannot debunk
All those classes I'd flunk
The epiphany sunk
No more booze for this punk
