POPS1/3 of teenagers have been targets of Cyberbullying This is the take home clip: "Ghyslain Raza, also known as the "Star Wars Kid", learned this the hard way. In 2002, the somewhat overweight and slightly awkward Canadian adolescent made a video of himself playing with a pretend light sabre and left it lying around at school. When his classmates found the video in 2003, they posted it online as a joke.Raza was so upset he finished the school year from a psychiatric ward. Unfortunately for him, it wasn't just his friends who found the video amusing. According to UK marketing firm The Viral Factory, it became the internet's most downloaded video of 2006." Be careful who you laugh at.

POPSIn Memory of Ryan Patrick Halligan I don't think anything I can say will adequately express the horror of this little boy taking his life over something that was so preventable if only a few people who could had done something, had intervened. Sadly, it is not only children who engage in this type of behavior.

POPSGreat Pyramid's mysterious "secret chamber"
Remember the "secret door" in the shafts of Cheops Pyramid's "Queen's Chamber"? That discovery had been made by the mini robot that German engineer Rudolph Gantenbrink developed, back in 1992. "Upuaut Project" is Gantenbrink's official site, on which he tells the breathe-taking discovery with all the details, high quality drawings and CAD models. After Gantenbrink's discovery Egypt Antiquities' Manager Dr. Zahi Hawass had tried his best to hamper and reject all the researchs in the Great Pyramid and finaly, after 10 years of the first discovery, he transformed the whole thing to a "media show" using National Geographics TV live coverage. Another robot was sent into the shaft, opened the "door" and then... it found another door! A few weeks after, archaeologists found one more such "doors" at the halfway of the opposite shaft in Queen's Chamber. The Mystery and the "cover-up" continues. Gantenbrinks's site could be a good start if you feel you're interested.
