Happy Birthday, Maria Mitchell

Maria Mitchell was born today in 1818.  She was the first person to discover a telescopic comet!  She also became the first woman elected to the Academy of Arts and Science.  

She said, "We have a hunger of the mind, which asks for knowledge of all around us, and the more we gain, the more is our desire; the more we see, the more we are capable of seeing." 

If you are planning a trip this summer to Nantucket, head over to the Maria Mitchell Association at 4 Vestal Street.  You can see Maria's house and gaze up into the sky just like she did.

  1. I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
    liver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
    reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
    became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
    ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
    treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
    the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
    treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
