Balloting for Star Education Fair 2011 booths

THE Star Education Fair 2009 will see some new faces among the more familiar exhibitors from past years.
Newcomer Trinity College Dublin will be exhibiting under a pavillion comprising nine other Irish instituitions.
“Irish education already has a good reputation here, especially in the area of medicine,” said Enterprise Ireland executive secretary Sabrina Ng. “But we want to raise awareness of Ireland’s top-notch courses in business, IT, engineering and hospitality.”
Ng was among representatives from over 145 who turned up at Menara Star last Wednesday to ballot for booths for the fair next year.

The event will once again be held at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre on Jan 10 and 11.
Brickfields Asia College was the first to pick out the location of its booths during the balloting session.
The college, as well as Inti Education Group and KDU College are the biggest exhibitors at next year’s fair, with each taking 14 out of more than 400 booths.
The Russian Centre of Science and Culture, a non-profit organisation that promotes Russian education and culture in Malaysia, will be exhibiting for the second time at the event.
Education head Yulia Shestakova said that the centre aims to build good relations between Russia and Malaysia through education.
Another newcomer to the Star Education Fair 2009 is Penang-based Study International Education Consult, which is taking one booth. The company acts as a student recruitment agency for about 40 universities from the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the United States.
Apart from vying for the most strategic booths, exhibitors also had the chance to purchase travel packages to Penang, where the fair will be held on Feb 28 and March 1 at the Penang International Sports Arena. http://educationsforallage.blogspot.com/

Marketing Templates Educations for all

Education is about learning…and about building a community of students, alumni, faculty, parents, and staff. But much of the time, it is also about raising money to make ends meet. It doesn’t matter whether your institution is K-12, a community college, or an Ivy League university, costs are skyrocketing and funding harder to come by. Development has become a continuous process, requiring more time and resources, with less staff and cash. You wish you could focus more on promoting new curriculum, and more science, technology, and arts projects, but your fundraising campaigns aren’t bringing in enough money. And you can only raise tuition so much in a difficult economy.
One thing never changes: the more successful you are at getting all your stakeholders involved, the easier it is to achieve your educational mission − and your fundraising goals! With so much at stake, you can’t afford to fail…but with so little to invest in staff and market research, how can you succeed?

Fermi solves the mystery of gamma ray pulsars

A pulsar is a highly magnetised rapidly spinning neutron star , the dense core remaining aftera supernova explosion.
NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope solves the mystery of previously unidentified gamma-ray sources. Fermi has now uncovered 16 pulsars based on their high energy gamma rays alone.
Fermi can 'feel' the gamma-ray pulsations gives important information about the mechanism behind the emissions. Radio pulsars emit narrow beams of radio waves that sweep around like a lighthouse beacon, bathing the Earth in radiation to enable detections. If the radio beam misses the Earth, the pulsar cannot be detected by radio telescopes, but FermiÕs ability to detect so many radio-quiet gamma-ray pulsars indicates that the gamma-rays are emitted in a beam that is wider and more fan-like than the radio beam.
