Study In Australia & Become Professional

Everyone's wants to study in high reputed institute,college or university.But it will be more interesting  when you get a professional degree from Australian College where student are guaranteed to get job after passing their course.

Australian universities are world leaders in Education and Teaching, and highly regarded throughout the world.  Any type of education-related study can be found at these institutions. 

Studying education in Australia will give you insight into how the education systems function in other countries.  You will broaden your horizons and personal perspectives of the world, making you all the more attractive to potential employers.

If you have recently completed or will soon be completing your undergraduate degree in an area other than teaching/education, you can gain a teacher qualification through one of three options:
  • Bachelor of Education (graduate entry) - 1.5-2 years
  • Graduate Diploma of Education - 1 year (equivalent to a teacher certificate program)
  • Masters of Teaching - 1.5 years
What is the difference between a one and a two year program?
The difference is due to different regulations required to become teachers in each state of Australia and in New Zealand, just as there are different requirements in the provinces of Canada or in the states of the U.S. The different program lengths reflect each state’s requirements for their teachers. We recommend you consider the program that best fits with your Provincial Teacher Registration or State Teacher Registration requirements for ease of transfer back to Canada or the U.S.

Do the programs include a teacher practicum?
Yes, all of the Teacher Education programs include lengthy practicum experience ranging from 40 to 100 days depending on the program and may also provide the opportunity for practicums in other countries, including South Africa, Fiji, China, and Malaysia.

Can I stay in Australia and teach after I complete my program?
Yes, you will be qualified to teach in the state or country in which you have completed your program.

Paramount Hotel Group Named Manager of Three Florida Distressed Hotels

Paramount Hotel Group, an independent hotel management and ownership group, today announced that it has been named by institutional lenders in two separate transactions to operate three hotels currently in foreclosure and has an active pipeline of additional distressed properties. The company also will act as receiver for one of the properties. The hotels, which together have more than 500 rooms, are located in Florida and include two branded and one independent property.
"We have a long, proven track record with distressed hotel operations and are working closely with institutional lenders, special servicers and regional banks to help them determine and execute the right strategies to recover the optimum value of their hotel assets," said Ethan Kramer, Paramount's president. "Our senior management team has been involved in the successful work-out and turn-around of more than 50 hotels in markets across the nation. Additionally, Paramount has established relationships with every major national franchisor in the U.S.
"Our approach is not just caretaking the property. We have take-over SWAT teams on stand-by who can take control of a property with just 24-hours notice. Our immediate goal is to stabilize the asset in terms of cash management, human resources, life safety and security. Subsequent to our assessment, we develop strategic options tailored to the Lender's objectives. The essential needs of the operation to continue as a going concern are identified and if capital is available for improvement, we recommend how best to deploy. Maximizing return on investment and generating the highest sale price on disposition is the ultimate driver in distressed hotel cases."
Kramer noted that Paramount expects that opportunities to manage distressed hotels will expand rapidly over the next 12 to 18 months. "There is an unprecedented number of troubled hotel loans that will need to be resolved over the near-term. In many cases, these properties have been neglected and suffer from deferred maintenance. We have an in-house construction team that can quickly assess these problems and determine realistic costs to remediate. If the lender so desires to expend funds for capital improvement, Paramount will provide detail budgeting for renovation and repositioning, thereby enhancing value.
"As owners ourselves, we bring a seasoned eye to the problems these hotels face. We provide honest assessments of the properties' potential based on more than 25 years of operational experience with distressed assets. Lenders want to recoup as much of their investment as possible without undertaking unnecessary risks of losing additional capital. We provide the operational and asset management expertise to help them realize their goals."

Paris Cleans Up Its Act 2

2009080-b-pariscleanupjpg
What’s a Paris stroll if you can’t daydream? Tourists to the French capital can now walk the city’s sidewalks without regard to what may lie underfoot.
“Paris is winning the pooper-scooper campaign,” announced the Mairie de Paris, or mayor's office, in a report by the AFP, thanks to success of the Campagne de Propreté 2009—a citywide cleanup campaign launched earlier this year.
Contrary to the government’s previous efforts which took the problem to the gutter (literally) or dispatched fleets of motocrottes (motorbikes with a waste aspirating unit)—the new strategy focuses on prevention and education, with public service signs posted around the city and 850 sanitation agents roving Arrondissements, doling out plastic bags and training tips.

Though masters can be harder to train than dogs, the campaign’s effectiveness shows up in the numbers: fines (up to 180 euro, or USD$250) have dropped from 4,849 to just under 2,000 since 2004, though the doggie-dense neighborhoods of 7th and 14th remain problem areas, subject to further “commando” actions.

Capella Singapore — Singapore


Fully connected to the urban pulse of Singapore, and yet entirely removed, Capella Singapore warmly invites you to explore, reconnect and renew in a beautiful setting. Luxuriate and refresh yourself in four outdoor pools, soak in the sun and the ambiance, or discover the magic of Sentosa Island and its attractions, which include Resorts World (an integrated entertainment resort), a prestigious championship golf course and a world-class marina. You are also minutes from the cosmopolitan energy of the city's business, shopping, dining and cultural districts.

A private long driveway meanders up to a Capella masterpiece. Restored to the highest standard, two historic bungalows named Tanah Merah ("red earth" in Malay) serve as a reception area for our guests. Capella Singapore features 111 of Singapore's largest guest rooms, suites, garden villas, and manors. Many of the one- and two-bedroom garden villas overlook the South China Sea and feature private plunge pools and outdoor bathing facilities perfect for refreshing and invigorating moments of seclusion.

Sneak Peek: Celebrity Equinox Sets Sail

200907-b-equinox01jpg
The brand new Celebrity Equinox is very much an American-style cruise ship, with “wow” factors including a half-acre of real grass on top. But as the vessel left shipbuilder Meyer Werft in Northwestern Germany, it was Germans who did the cheering. Thousands of people lined the banks of the River Ems to watch the conveyance, some parking their RVs on the banks for the event.

200907-b-equinox03jpg
It’s a slow thing, pulling a 122,000-ton ship by tugboat backwards on a river. After hours of maneuvering, around 1 a.m., the Equinox squeezed through an exceptionally narrow passage to begin its 26-mile, 13-hour journey to the Netherlands and out to sea. People on shore raised toasts as pop music played.

Even though the Equinox was not quite furnished (its official maiden voyage isn’t until late July), it was clear Celebrity Cruises knows not to mess with a good thing. Its sister ship, the stunningly cool Celebrity Solstice—which debuted last year—has been a huge success with cruisers for its innovation. (It’s my favorite ship of the past decade.) Some favorite features of both ships are:

-The Adam Tihany-designed dining rooms with a striking two-deck high glass wine tower
-The topside lawn for croquet, golf putting, picnics, concerts (below)
-The “Hot Glass Show” featuring blowers from The Corning Museum of Glass
-The restaurant selection (10 options, including a creperie and Asian fusion)
-A luxurious spa and huge gym with wide ocean views
-Resort-like pools, including one in a solarium

200907-b-equinox02jpg
Also, expect “liquid nitrogen” cocktails at Equinox’s Tastings bar (not exactly a selling point for booking a cruise, but a novelty just the same) and artwork by Lichtenstein and a Sol LeWitt, as well as video art installations. There’s even a live tree as art, too; the huge ficus sits in a massive, sparkling pot suspended below the skylight of the impressive 12-deck atrium. Yup, it’s a wow.

Two-Wheel Trend: City Hotels Offering Bikes

200908-b-lime-front-viewjpg
I admit it: I may the only Brooklynite left who hasn’t jumped on the bicycle trend. (Blame my Minnesota roots: I remain loyal to the birthplace of the Rollerblade.) But though I don’t own a bike at home, I do love to hop on two wheels to explore a city while on vacation, and am pleased report that more and more hotels are pedaling to, well, urban pedalers.
Sure, lots of resorts like the Four Seasons Resort, The Biltmore in Santa Barbara or the Fairmont Mayakoba in Mexico’s Riviera Maya have long kept bikes on site for guest use. But now city hotels are getting in on the act too. Just recently, Ritz-Carlton announced that its new LEED-certified Charlotte, North Carolina property, opening this October, will have a slew of complimentary Trek bikes (Lance Armstrong’s brand of choice) available for guests, along with dedicated bike valets—specially trained to fix a flat on the fly.
And then there’s Fairmont and Park Hyatt, which are both rolling out bike programs throughout their properties. This summer, Fairmont began offering swanky BMW Cruise Bikes to guests at nearly all of its Canadian properties, including the Queen Elizabeth in Montreal, Toronto’s Royal York, and the company’s multiple Vancouver outposts. And come August, over a dozen Park Hyatt hotels are debuting bicycle programs that offers guests helmets, locks, biking maps, bottled water, and bikes, naturally. The globe-spanning participating properties include Park Hyatts in Chicago, Washington, D.C., Buenos Aires, Sydney, Toyko, Beijing, Moscow, and even Goa. Milan is also participating, but bikers beware: The only two-wheeler that really get any respect in Italy is the Vespa.
