We posted awhile ago about a school where programming had become a core subject in schools in Estonia from grades 1 through to 12. Well it seems they are definitely on the right track, and Code.org has created this video to tell you why.

Learning the basics of coding is almost a necessity these days. No matter what field you are in, you are bound to, at some point, come across code. Whether it’s literal programming to calculate, predict or analyze data, or whether its design code for a website, gadget, or app – there’s bound to be somewhere.

Brunettes More Likely to Marry Billionaires

Blondes may have more fun but apparently Brunettes have more money.

Does this article reveal more about the women or the billionaires that marry them?

Brunettes more likely to bag billionaires

Blondes are said to have more fun but it seems brunettes steal the hearts of billionaires.

Brunettes such as Microsoft boss Bill Gates’ wife, Melinda French are more likely to marry a successful man than their blonde sisters, a study today said.

Experts checked the hair colour of the wives and girlfriends of the world’s top 100 billionaires. Most – 62 per cent – were brunettes.

Fair-haired women came in a poor second with 22 per cent of the world’s top billionaires marrying blondes.

Raven-haired women enticed just 16 per cent of the world’s wealthiest men, while not one of top billionaires is married to a redhead.

The report was for Lycos, which runs dating site www.love.lycos.co.uk. Sam Kayum, Lycos director said: ‘It begs the question whether Carla Bruni would now be the first lady of France if she was a blonde. Perhaps Sarkozy felt that, as a brunette, Bruni would be taken more seriously by the voting public.’
