The Choice of the Intelligent Alternative

In life there are choices that people have to make. They make the selection for the choice they want due to many reasons. One of the reason is the knowledge and experiences that they have gained throughout their entire life to make their life better no matter how rich or poor. However, the knowledge they use whether simple or sophisticated are just simply the tools of their own but not the proof or verification that they have made the right choice or used the right one.

History and rationale together with the wisdom and duly developed intuition will tell which choice is right based upon past experiences from success or failure whether or not they are from right or wrong but it has to be the ones chosen from the past outcome that fit in with the person’s character, capability and suitability in a given trait that coincide with the given opportunity of time, space and position.

Once that part of knowledge is known and used in the making of choice and selection, then it can be said that the person has made a choice of an intelligent alternative which is needed in the modern world that are overwhelmed with massive information on choices in the midst of racing time and space that are precious as no one can bring back lost time. Tick-tock Tick-tock, the train is leaving on schedule…What will it be ?

So what is your choice of the so called “Intelligent Alternative”
Think about it and kindly let me know. May be it is time that we can talk, after all these years.

Happy New Year 2007

Why Indian Tutors for online tutoring

First of all, they offer their service at a very cheap price. Many of us think that America is a very rich country but it is not entirely true. Education is very expensive in USA. Before the birth of a child, his or her parents start saving money for their kid's education. At present, parents have to pay $40 to $100 per hour to the American tutoring companies. On the other hand, Indian tutoring organizations charge less money. For example, Growing star charges $21 to $25 per hour. Tutorvista charges $20 for forty five minutes and unlimited hours for $100.
Companies like Tutorvista and Growing stars hire teachers specialized in their fields and well experienced. The companies even train the teachers to understand American accents and student jargons. So language is not a big problem.
Compared to other South Asian countries, India's education system gives more emphasis on English. English is India's second language as well. Among all the South Asian countries, Indian writers have achieved a very good position in the field of English literature.
Online tutoring for American teachers may not be a very attractive job but it is a full time job for many Indians. Hence, they give more effort.
Internet is the most important factor in online teaching. Outsourcing is one of major businesses in India; hence, the country already has a very good internet infrastructure. So, the student and teacher can communicate with each other very well.

About DBS
The first commercial DBS service, Sky Television plc (now BSkyB), was launched in 1989. Sky TV started as a four-channel free-to-air analogue service on the Astra 1A satellite, serving the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland. By 1991, Sky had changed to a conditional access pay model, and launched a digital service, Sky Digital, in 1998, with analogue transmission ceasing in 2001. Since the DBS nomenclature is rarely used in the UK or Ireland, the popularity of Sky's service has caused the terms "minidish" and "digibox" to be applied to products other than Sky's hardware. BSkyB is controlled by News Corporation.
PrimeStar began transmitting an analog service to North America in 1991, and was joined by DirecTV Group's DirecTV (then owned by GM Hughes Electronics, in 1994. At the time, DirecTV's introduction was the most successful consumer electronics debut in American history. Although PrimeStar transitioned to a digital system in 1994, it was ultimately unable to compete with DirecTV, which required a smaller satellite dish and could deliver more programming. DirecTV eventually purchased PrimeStar in 1999 and migrated all PrimeStar subscribers to DirecTV equipment. In 2003, News Corporation purchased a controlling interest in DirecTV's parent company, Hughes Electronics, and renamed the company DirecTV Group.

BBC"s Word in the News

BBC's Learning English is a very helpful site for increasing one's vocabulary in English through daily usage of the language. Many articles and top stories are available in this section with some kind of what may be called as an "extra feature". An example is that today's news features the following article: An antique dealer on New York's Madison Avenue, is claiming a million dollars in damages from 4 homeless people. They've been sheltering outside his shop and he wants them stopped from coming any nearer than 100 feet of it. Guto Harri reports from New York: The contrast could hardly be starker. Inside Karl Kemp and Associates, a pair of cast iron candlesticks can cost you almost seven-thousand dollars. Outside, an aging, bearded man lies hunched up above an air vent, struggling to keep warm in freezing temperatures. At times he's joined by three others. The lawsuit, filed this week names them as John Doe, Jane Doe, Bob Doe and John Smith and accuses them of sleeping on the sidewalk, consuming alcohol, urinating and spitting. Karl Kemp says he has nothing against them and would like to see them put up in a shelter twenty blocks away. But he's concerned that customers are being put off by their presence. Repeated complaints to police have achieved nothing, but an injunction would allow the authorities to move them on. The claim for a million dollars in damages was apparently necessary for technical legal reasons and there's no expectations of that aspect of the action being enforced. Here in this article some words are taken up and then they are explained in teh context. An example would be: The contrast could hardly be starkerThe differences between the people or things that are being compared could not be clearer, more obvious, more opposite hunched upcrouched, bent down and forwards so that your back is curved. In this way the learning is made interesting and informative as well. The words in the news section is indeed a very educative section and a must read.
