Machar was a 6th-century IrishSaint active in Scotland.
A Bishop of Irish origin, Machar is said to have been a former nobleman, baptized by St Colman. He came to Iona with Columba and preached in Mull and later ministered to the Picts around Aberdeen. For this reason he was described anachronistically as the first Bishop of the see of Aberdeen. His legend, however, in the Aberdeen breviary makes him "Archbishop of Tours", appointed by Gregory the Great for the last few years of his life. This story deserves no credence. Water from his well was used for baptism in Aberdeen Cathedral. A few dedications survive from this area.
Much of what is claimed to be known about St Machar derives from the Aberdeen Breviary, a work compiled in the late fifteenth to early sixteenth centuries, long after the traditional date of Machar's life. It is therefore hard to assess its reliability.
One recent theory is that St Machar and St Mungo were the same person, on the grounds of a possible link between their names (Colm Ó Baoill, St Machar - some linguistic light?, Innes Review XLIV, p.1-13).

WOMEN IN SPACE is a special video presentation that traces the history of women pioneers in the U.S. space program.
Some, like aviators Wally Funk and Jerrie Cobb, passed the same gruelling tests as male astronauts, only to be dismissed by NASA, the military, and even Lyndon Johnson, as a distraction. It wasn’t until 1995 that Eileen Collins became the first woman to pilot a spacecraft. The program includes interviews with Collins, as well as Sally Ride’s classmates Shannon Lucid, Rhea Seddon and Kathryn Sullivan, and features Mae Jemison, the first woman of color astronaut, and Peggy Whitson, the first female commander of the International Space Station.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

(Clarke / Hicks / Nash) Days of yellow saffron. Nights with purple skies. Melting in the sunbeams from my maker's eyes. Mountain-colored lilac in the distant haze. I would like to lie here, timing all my days Move past my window, sunshine is shimmering jack-o-lanterns glimmering, giant moths are flickering around. See, the moon is hiding underneath the sea. Pretty soon he'll venture to take a look at me. So I humbly stand here beneath his golden glow. Doesn't he remind me of somebody I know? I must be leaving, back to reality. Don't you just pity me? I could so easily stay here.
