"Africa's first elected female head of state, a Liberian peace activist, and a human rights activist from Yemen are the three female winners of this year's Nobel Peace Prize."
Marc Rougier's insight:
Beautiful ending for 2011. And a last message of hope - or dream -, Kepler mission has confirmed its first planet in the habitable zone.

"More Americans die in gun homicides and suicides in six months than have died in the last 25 years in every terrorist attack and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq combined" By Nicholas D. Kristof, The New York Times.
Marc Rougier's insight:
December was not the end of the world. Eventually. The Maya miscalculated. Still, terrible news from Connecticut to Syria. More on coveting freedom here, a curation by Ammar Adulhamid, aka Amarji on Scoop.it and @Tharwacolamus on Twitter. To make us dream and travel farther: Voyager 1 is reaching the edge of our solar system! Launched in 1977, it's now 18 billions km away from the Sun and its messages take 17h to reach us (at the speed of light...). As far as a human-made device has ever been. And still going! December also made history in Chess: Magnus Carlsen, the youngest world #1 player, has beaten Kasparov's record rating of 2851. Oh, and Psy Gangnam Style hit the 1 billion mark this month! ;-) Wishing you all freedom, happiness, success and good vibes for 2013.
