There are many suicidal attempts that a school going kid often makes. Often you will find such shocking news of a student's suicidal acts in the morning newspaper. An online education ensures total independence and there is a lot of fun involved in it. So do you want to make your child?-a nagging school or college goer or a competent online learner?

After she described the extraordinary relationship between Dr. Alice Stewart, the medical researcher, and George Kneale, the statistician Stewart worked with, Heffernan went on to describe a phenomenon that we all recognize, "the elephant in the room." That's an idiom we use in Canada (and I'm sure in other countries) to describe the discomfort we feel when the downside of a situation is glaringly obvious, but no one has the nerve to talk about it.

Not only is this app great for kids who are trying to expand their vocabulary, but it is also a fantastic option for grownups that love languages and want to learn more words. It teaches you new words every time you open it. It also challenges you to use the word at least once during the day.

Michael Elliot, the CEO of Rocket Dog Communications, was kind enough to speak publicly on the subject of staying relevant as marketing professionals in a down economy. His points were very well taken. One was that while the rest of the business community wrangles and agonizes about their failing investments, marketers are seeing one third to one half discounted rates in print and broadcast media. The opportunity for go-getters is real and exciting. Another hammer point was regarding Mobile Technology. He made the unarguable argument that there are actually more cellular phones on the market than there are people. He advised strongly that we should not leave that fact out of our marketing philosophy moving forward.

What Not to Wear stylist TED website and chats with Kruse with Jessica about her hair and finds out that she uses the dreadlocks to hide the hair she hates. Once convinced she's willing to go short, Ted cuts an asymmetrical bubble cut with jagged bangs that she can smooth over for "nice girl" and tousle for "naughty girl". He also gives her a deeper red color to better contrast against her pale skin. Jessica actually says it looks sexy, which is the first time she's described herself that way.

This list was compiled by popular vote. New inventions didn't capture the people's imagination. This is a real pity. People are imagining and creating some amazing new modern 'wonders'. The talk by Jonathan Harris at the TED conference certainly took my breath away. He demonstrated several projects he had worked on recently.

Schools in particular should rise to the challenge of increasing their effort to cater to introverts. I remember how many group activities I dreaded and had to endure while I was in school. While it was bearable, even fun, for a while, being with a group of people exhausted me more than the project itself.

Might it now be time to openly question the value of a college education? With the walloping non-stop increase in tuition costs, it sure seems like we've entered an education bubble that will leave many in mega debt with no prospect for even an ho-hum career. Latest reports indicate that 53% of recent college grads are either unemployed or working at a job that does not require a college degree. There are more than 100,000 janitors in the U.S. with college degrees and 16,000 parking lot attendants.

To some people, education from a regular institute can appear to be boring. The monotony of attending lectures, facing of punishments given by teachers or professors is really discouraging. When a student fails to complete his assignments, he gets rebuked by his teacher and harsh words are showered upon him. In this way his dream to fulfill his academic goal gets shattered.

We also spoke at length with Michael Elliott about the difference between a viral episode and a viral movement online. Though not focused on these themes in their business acumen, I was pleasantly surprised at the level of insight each of them had on these subjects.
