SparkVision is a startup that focuses on workplace culture to create environments where people thrive. The founder, MaryBeth Hyland, built her business using hard-won survival skills. Believe it or not, this is her story:
“I was abused by my father and manipulated to not speak about it to anyone. In order to get through that situation, I had to morph who I was to accommodate my father’s unpredictable moods. I learned what to say, how to act and what to do to get him in a good mood to avoid getting hurt. It’s a part of me that I always hid and, frankly, was ashamed of. But now that I have a business that is built on human connection and empowerment, I know that it’s rooted from the survival skills I learned in my upbringing. Those are now gifts I use to help others to have a better experience in their day-to-day interactions.”

Hotels and restaurants can continue to sell packaged mineral water bottles above ‘MRP’ rates - the Supreme Court has observed that no prevailing law prevents such a sale. A bench of Justice RF Nariman and Justice Navin Sinha observed that neither the Standards of Weights and Measures Act, 1976, nor the Legal Metrology Act, 2009, would apply so as to interdict the sale of mineral water in hotels and restaurants at prices which are above the MRP.

Sneha Raisoni, founder of the 'Tappu Ki Dukaan' store, did what most can only dream of: she left her job as a chartered accountant at an investment bank (that she had worked with for half a decade!) to cater to her creative side, and that too, during the recession phase. Sneha’s first store was opened in the unoccupied mezzanine floor of her father’s optician store in late 2009, and she managed to break even withina year. Today, Tappu Ki Dukaan has all the eccentric, quirky products from Haathi Chhap, Pop Goes the Art, Mixed Juice Design, Neil Dantas and Happily Unmarried, only to name a few, on its shelves!

Finger pricks, blood draws, and urine testing are miserable for just about everyone. But now researchers are working on a new concept to make testing for disease much easier - a contact lens that would use the condition of the eyes to help spot illness. It's easy, it's not painful and it's not visible to anyone else. Hopefully, we’ll soon bid adieu to blood tests permanently!

“You don’t need a lot of money, or a lot of experience, to make a difference – only a good thought is enough.”
When a government primary school near Kalyan Nagar in Bengaluru, needed repairs, it was four children who came forward to help - by donating their pocket money towards the school’s needs. Nidhi Shankar Reddy, a pre-university student, Neha Reddy an SSLC student, Dhruva Reddy a Class 4 student and Deekhshitha Reddy, a Class 8 student collectively saved around Rs 1.5 lakh, to spend on development work for the school. Thanks to their efforts, the school has now received a new lease of life, with a new toilet, and freshly painted benches and classrooms. It was Nidhi’s domestic help’s son, who told her about the school’s poor condition. Nidhi decided to do something and roped in her siblings for the cause. Their parents did not have any idea about this gesture and only found out when some teachers from the school informed them about it!

Scared that your online activities are bring tracked? Then here's your solution:
Download 'TrackMeNot'. It is a browser extension that helps protect web searchers from surveillance and data-profiling by search engines. It does so, not by means of concealment or encryption (i.e. covering one's tracks), but instead by the opposite strategy: noise and obfuscation. With TrackMeNot, actual web searches, lost in a cloud of false leads, are essentially hidden in plain view. It hides users' actual search trails in a cloud of 'ghost' (false) queries, significantly increasing the difficulty of aggregating such data into accurate or identifying user profiles. It protects the user not only from advertising networks, but also from surveillances by corporates and government agencies.
