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.

Red giant star Betelgeuse is shrinking

Orion’s red supergiant Betelgeuse has been steadily shrinking over the last 15 years.

Betelgeuse is so big that if placed in our Solar System it would extend to the orbit of Jupiter. But thanks to long term monitoring by Berkeley’s Infrared Spatial Interferometer (ISI) at Mt Wilson, measurements of the star’s diameter reveal the giant to be shrinking. Over the last 15 years, the star has shrunk by more than 15 percent, equivalent to the same diameter as the orbit of Venus.

Despite its diminished size however, there is no evidence to suggest that the star is dimming. But we do not know why the star is shrinking.

Since the star’s size depends on the wavelength of light used to measure it, it is difficult to compare measurements. Tenuous gas in the outer regions of the star emits light as well as absorbs it, which presents a challenge in determining the edge of the star.

Cosmic blobs and Galaxies

Cosmic blobs are immense reservoirs of hydrogen gas located in the early Universe. Black holes and star formation have been observed in cosmic blobs.

The glow of cosmic blobs in optical light had remained a mystery for the astronomers but with the help of telescopes such as Chandra X-ray Observatory,Spitzer Space Telescope and Hubble they have found that the source of power is coming from growing supermassive black holes and from newly forming stars.

Endeavour arrives at Space Station

Endeavour has arrived at the International Space Station for its construction mission that will install an external science deck to complete Japan's Kibo facilities, pre-stage critical spare parts for the outpost and replace aging batteries in the power grid.

Cosmic rays accelerated by exploded stars

Using ESO’s Very Large Telescope and NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory, astronomers have shown that cosmic rays from the Milky Way are very efficiently accelerated in the remnants of exploded stars.

Cosmic rays are extremely energetic particles – mostly protons – moving at close to the speed of light. They originate from outside our Solar System and are constantly bombarding the Earth’s atmosphere at a rate of some 100,000 per square metre per second.

Earth gravity and solar eclipse

A team of Chinese scientists is planning to conduct a once-in-a-century experiment on July 22, the day of the total solar eclipse, which would test the controversial theory that gravity drops slightly during a total eclipse.

According to a report in New Scientist, geophysicists from the Chinese Academy of Sciences are preparing an unprecedented array of highly sensitive instruments at six sites across the country to take gravity readings during the total eclipse due to pass over southern China on July 22.

The results, which will be analyzed in the coming months, could confirm once and for all that anomalous fluctuations observed during past eclipses are real.

The first sign that gravity fluctuates during an eclipse was in 1954, when French economist and physicist Maurice Allais noticed erratic behaviour in a swinging pendulum when an eclipse passed over Paris.

Pendulums typically swing back and forth as a result of gravity and the rotation of the Earth. At the start of the eclipse, however, the pendulum's swing direction shifted violently, suggesting a sudden change in gravitational pull.

In the run up to July's eclipse, Chinese researchers have prepared eight gravimeters and two pendulums spread across six monitoring sites.

At over five minutes, the event will be the longest total solar eclipse predicted for this century.

Shuttle Endeavour finally launched

Shuttle Endeavour finally roared to life and blasted off Wednesday on its sixth try, rocketing away through a hazy sky toward a Friday rendezvous with the International Space Station from Kennedy Space Center.

Multiple pieces of foam insulation fell from the ship's external tank during the early moments of flight, but it was not immediately clear whether the shuttle's fragile heat shield suffered any significant damage.

With commander Mark Polansky and pilot Douglas Hurley at the controls, Endeavour's three main engines ignited in staggered sequence and throttled up to full thrust, followed seconds later by ignition of the shuttle's twin solid-fuel boosters at 6:03:10 p.m. EDT.

President Obama hails successful Hubble repair

President Barack Obama called the crew of the shuttle Atlantis late Wednesday and congratulated the astronauts on the successful overhaul of the Hubble Space Telescope. He also promised to name a new NASA administrator soon, although he provided no clues as to who might get the nod.

Shuttle Endeavour launch on sunday postponed

NASA on Sunday postponed the launch of space shuttle Endeavour for the day due storms near Kennedy Space Center.

NASA will next try to launch the shuttle on Monday at 6:51 p.m.

Endeavour's launch was postponed twice last month because of a liquid hydrogen leak.

Endeavour, carrying seven astronauts and a key component for Japan's Kibo science laboratory, is to head to the International Space Station for a 16-day mission. Five spacewalks are planned for the crew after the shuttle docks.

Indian moon mission saved

India's only satellite Chandrayaan -I orbiting moon came close to overheating and failure but scientists improvised to save it.

Last month the satellite lost a critical instrument called the star sensor. The sensor helps the $80-million satellite stay oriented so its cameras and other recording equipment are constantly aimed at the lunar surface. Without the sensor , the mission is useless.

Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) team used other systems such as an antenna mechanism and gyroscope to make sure that satellite was " looking at the moon". Now, the mission is safe and the systems are working.

Chandrayaan is scheduled to last two years. Scientists hope that Chandrayaan project will boost India's capacity to build more efficient rockets and satellites.

Stunning Home Interior Renders Alessandro Prodan’s

When we first saw Alessandro Prodan’s work, we thought we wouldn’t ever be surprised seeing what CG artists are capable of. But the creator of the following images just proved us wrong. Hail the Russian CG visualization specialist Anton Valiev who has created these drop dead gorgeous renders.




Compared to Alessandro’s work these images lay more emphasis to the interiors and the tools they used for creating them are also different. Anton used 3DS Max for design and VRay for rendering while Alessandro chose Maya with MentalRay for rendering.




For the clueless, this level of photorealism is very difficult to achieve in computer aided design and if you are capable of doing this it means that you are the very cream of the trade you practise.

Beautiful All White House With Pool Design

With its stunning pool and impeccable style, The Sotogrande House is fit for a celebrity. The credit for its design goes to Spanish architectural firm A-cero. The design is fresh and exciting and you can’t stop but admire how serene the whole home looks. White dominates throughout and except for this minor(?) challenge of keeping it that way we really can’t find anything else to crib about this fabulous home.
