Nobel Prize lacklusture

Is the Nobel committee a conglomerate of humor film directors? If someone pings a doubt none can argue or contradict. The recent Nobel Prize that has been awarded to the U.S president can be considered the result of an idiotic flaw of the jury. Nobel committee as quoted by the BBC said it awarded him the prize for his "extraordinary work to strengthen international diplomacy". It is  appropriate to say the committee with another quote should justify its act as an effort to help America survive an embattled economy.

What Obama did?. This is  really the million dollar question. Initiatives have never taken some one as Noble Laureate since history even if there are some exceptions . Mahathma Gandhi, who worked for peace fell short of winning the title even if he introduced a new way of life based on non violence. What would have been the factors that made Nobel committee reject Mahathma. This can be discussed in another post. There are still tensions there in the international community.

Israel and Palestine has never declared a permanent cease fire. Pakistan is continuing its hide and seek game with India for which the US only serves the role of a referee (though the game has got no referee since its birth). Then, how come the Nobel committee said "his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and co-operation between peoples" helped him win the title.

Online Class Rooms A Fair Substitute Says US Study

Do you want to get back to those corridors where once you wept for escaping those boring class rooms that later became your most valuable walkway in your life? Moreover, it was there you found your most valuable friends, your hidden treasure. But days have changed. Time has galloped farther. These days, we are confined to a personal computer powered with broadband internet facility that can provide anything under the sun without any proximity. That may be the reason why a new study have proved online class rooms better than those nostalgic ones with wooden benches and desks on which you have inscribed your gang name with those useless compass or ruler.

US Department of Education are up with results from a study that said "On average, students in online learning conditions performed better than those receiving face-to-face instruction." The study also indicated that just two years ago, nearly 4 million students were taking at least one course online. That number has since increased yearly by double-digit percentages.

The Department of Education report notes that the ability for students to use their time in a flexible manner boosted online education's popularity," says Dr. Sal Arria, CEO/Co-Founder of ISSA. "According to our students, the flexibility of our online accredited programs is among the top reasons for choosing ISSA for their fitness education."

However, what is important is your view and I expect your comments on this. Do you really want to get your children turn nostalgic over those technically powered class rooms that would provide only voices, commands, and guidelines through simulated codes?
