Our word of the day today was ‘immense’
adjective // ih-MENSS
This means marked by greatness especially in size or degree; especially : transcending ordinary means of measurement, or supremely good.

Just how big is something if it is immense? Huge? Colossal? Humongous? Ginormous? Or merely enormous? Immense is often used as a synonym of all of the above and, as such, can simply function as yet another way for English speakers to say “really, really, really big.” Immense is also used, however, in a sense which goes beyond merely really, really, really big to describe something that is so great in size or degree that it transcends ordinary means of measurement. This sense harks back to the original sense of immense for something which is so tremendously big that it has not been or cannot be measured. This sense reflects the word’s roots in the Latin immensus, from in-(“un-“) and mensus, the past participle of metiri (“to measure”).

Thanks for listening, and we hope to see you at our upcoming festivals!

That love will find you

Congratulations to Jennie of Howard!

We also celebrated World Wide Web Day today, so in honor of that, here’s a few fun facts about the good old world wide web!

The Internet’s first website went online on Aug. 6, 1991.
Berners-Lee and his fellow CERN team members launched http://info.cern.ch with a landing page that only contained 153 words. It defined the World Wide Web (“W3”) as “a wide-area hypermedia information retrieval initiative aiming to give universal access to a large universe of documents” and contained 25 links to basic additional information about the pioneering initiative.

The internet is not the web and the web is not the internet.
The internet was a thing long before the web and the web wouldn’t exist without the internet. The internet, the roots of which can be traced as far back to the invention of the modem in 1958, is a massive infrastructure that bridges millions of computers throughout the globe. The World Wide Web is a vast system of interlinked hypertext documents accessed on the internet.

Billions of people surf the web.
 Of the world’s 7.1 billion people, an estimated 2.4 billion people go online today. That’s 37.7 percent of the world’s total population. About six out of seven people across the globe have internet access. Approximately 70 percent of internet users surf the web every day.

Americans rock the web the most. Users in the U.S. account for 78.6 percent of global web usage, trailed by Australia (67.6 percent), Europe (63.2 percent), Latin America/Caribbean (42.9 percent), Middle East (40.2 percent), Asia (25.7 percent) and Africa (15.6).  Surprisingly, some 24 nations remain completely offline.

A 35,000x ROI? It’s true.

news-2

Just for the record, that means ‘return on investment.’  Can you imagine buying what you thought was a costume jewelry ring at a hospital bazaar for $13, then finding out it was worth $456,000?  That’s what happened to a London woman.  Read the story by clicking here.

We also shared a generous Memorial Day story from CBS News.  Read it here.

Today’s Song Poetry lyrics?
It doesn’t matter who I used to be
It only matters that I’ve been set free
You rescued me, you’re changing me
Jesus, take everything

The answer? Mandisa and ‘Waiting for Tomorrow.’ Congratulations to Karen of Mount Vernon, who wins the $5 gift certificate to Troyer’s of Apple Valley!
