Watch the video “Keeping the TIme” to learn about Victorian and modern technology which contributes to Big Ben’s accurate timekeeping. Minor weather temperatures can impact the clockwork’s metal and pendulum. Observe the bells as they toll at 118 decibels, which is almost as loud as a jet plane: Keeping the time with Big Ben

SMART FACT

On this day in 2003 In Fort Worth, Texas, Annika Sörenstam became the first woman to play the PGA Tour in 58 years. WOW! 58 years of male-dominated golf – that’s a lot of time to wait to recognize great female athletes. These two posts represent a small number of amazing women athletes who are inspiring young women everywhere. In 2018, Good Morning America and ESPN compiled this list of 25 Most Famous Women Athletes (at that time) and UplifterInc.com created The Definitive Guide to Female Athlete Role Models in 2020. We hope you know more than what appears here and share their stories with us! 

And to help you stay organized…
