In Bosco Gurin you can get yourself immersed in the past, and then also experience an unforgettable holiday in which you can enjoy peace, practice sports in nature and rediscover traditions.
Onsernone, Maggia and Verzasca Valley: Onsernone Valley / Lake Cavegna:
a wild, deeply carved V-valley oriented to east-west direction on the course of the sun; steep, impassable valley sides, the sunny villages glued to rocks on half way up the terraced south-facing slope. Away from urban centres, the valley has preserved its peace and quiet, its special magic of nature and culture. The Maggia Valley branches, ramifies and forks itself like a hand: in to Val di Campo and Val di Bosco, Val Bavona, Val Lavizzara and Val Peccia; a big hand with gnarled and crooked fingers, crisscrossed by blue veins of water for bathing, which arise from Alpine passes and mountain ridges.
Verzasca Valley:
is a wildly romantic and fascinating valley, which has preserved the primitive characteristics of the southern Alpine side valleys. It is a tourist region that has many interesting activities, both culturally and in scenery or with respect to sports

The city Intra Verbania also presents one of the much visited markets on Lake Maggiore. The lakeside road to the Brissago border crossing (Madonna di Ponte) is mostly busy with a lot of vehicles. Why not use ship or hydrofoil boat?
Among the wide range of options the following items are popular: cream cheese, mozzarella, parmigiano, pecorino, fish from the lake and from the rivers, a wide variety of sausages, bread and pastries, a variety of honey products. Even in winter, the market stalls are loaded with fresh vegetables. Shoes, bags, belts and leather jackets are big hits like in the rest of northern Italian markets.
Brissago Islands
with the botanical garden of the canton Ticino, offer us the opportunity to get away from the noise, chaos and stress of everyday life. The exotic plants, the colours and fragrances promote our physical and psychological wellbeing.
Seit mehreren Jahren verbringen wir unseren Urlaub im Tessin und seit 2009 kommen wir immer wieder nach Ronco sopra Ascona. Weil unsere letzte Vermieterin nicht mehr zur Verfügung steht, waren wir gezwungen uns eine neue Ferienwohnung zu suchen. Auf dieser erneuten Suche nach der passenden Ferienwohnung, haben wir ebenfalls in Ronco sopra Ascona das "Apartamento Paradiso"entdeckt.
Diese große Appartementwohnung bietet alles was man für einen Urlaub braucht. Es gibt viel Platz um persönliche Sachen zu verstauen und man kann sich wie zu Hause fühlen. Außerdem fand ich schön, dass man mit dem Auto bis vor die Tür fahren kann und man keine Treppen steigen muss.
(Einzelheiten der Ausstattung stehen in der Beschreibung und diese entspricht der Wirklichkeit. Ebenfalls sind Möglichkeiten der Feriengestaltung erwähnt, die jeder für sich herausfinden kann.)
Die Brissago-Inseln hat man direkt vor der Nase, rechts oben am Hang erkennt man den alten Dorfkern von Ronco mit der Kirche San Martino, unten am See Porto Ronco und dahinter Brissago und dann Italien. Links das geheimnisvolle Gambarogno. Wer die Ruhe und die Natur liebt und obendrein noch Romantiker ist, sollte hier seine Ferien verbringen. Was braucht man mehr? Alles was man benötigte ist da. Selbst wenn es mal regnet kann man ohne Probleme "daheim" bleiben und hat immer diesen grandiosen Ausblick auf den See. Abends wenn am Seeufer die Lichter angehen kann man bei einem Merlot so richtig ins träumen kommen.
Außerdem die freundliche und unkomplizierte Art des Vermieters und dann die hervorragende Betreuung vor Ort.
Alles lässt uns zu dem Entschluss kommen:
"Apartamento Paradiso in Ronco sopra Ascona, wir kommen wieder".

Intel announces brand levels for Atom processors
The x3, x5, and x7 labels will mirror the i3, i5, and i7 designations for the company's Core CPUs, which it says will help consumers differentiate between chip capabilities more easily.
John Morris and Sean Portnoy deliver straight talk about notebook and desktop computers.
Sean Portnoy started his tech writing career at ZDNet nearly a decade ago. He then spent several years as an editor at Computer Shopper magazine, most recently serving as online executive editor. He received a B.A. from Brown University and an M.A. from the University of Southern California.

John Morris is a former executive editor at CNET Networks and senior editor at PC Magazine. He now works for a private investment firm, which may at any time invest in companies whose products are discussed in this blog, and no disclosure of securities transactions will be made. No investment advice is offered in this blog. All duties are disclaimed.

The x3, x5, and x7 labels will mirror the i3, i5, and i7 designations for the company's Core CPUs, which it says will help consumers differentiate between chip capabilities more easily.
At ISSCC this week, Intel says it is business as usual, but rising costs have left the rest of the chip industry looking for something more than Moore.
Discounts on the tablet have been extended through the end of February, while trading in an old Surface can get you as much as $650 toward a new Surface Pro 3.
The company claims the notebook is the thinnest and lightest in its semi-rugged class, complete with magnesium alloy case with built-in handle.
Nvidia CEO Jen-Hsun Huang admits that PCs with integrated graphics have "largely become good enough." So why is the company doing so well?
Two new Venue tablets, one running Android 5.0 and the other Windows 8.1, and a Latitude 11 laptop look to join the updated Chromebook in the classroom.
The price cut is good through February 7, though the base configuration is the only version that retains its original price during the sale.
The notebook also gets a Thunderbolt 2 port, boosts maximum storage to 2TB, and offers an Ubuntu option.
The rugged notebook now claims battery life of up to 18 hours while retaining its durability features, including protection from drops of six feet.
The NUC5i7RYH is one of seven Next Unit of Computing systems that the company will be shipping with its fifth-generation Core CPUs.

3.0 out of 5 stars Worth reading, but writing was annoying
This book became a controversial topic in my children's school district not long ago when it was temporarily banned from the tenth grade English curriculum where it had been assigned reading for an Honors class. The Board of Education felt the the graphic sexual content was inappropriate for the age level it was assigned to. Of course, it found its way into my Book...

This review is from: Kaffir Boy: The True Story Of A Black Youth's Coming Of Age In Apartheid South Africa (School & Library Binding)
I have come a to rare realization. I think back to my years at Asbury Park High School and how there was little to no educated reading of books by or of black people, which I think is strange now as Asbury Park was a mostly black town. It wasn't until I eventually got to a black university that I learned more and more of my heritage, black history and what could become a black future.
Oh, as good as they were, I read "The Crucible," "The Pearl," "Of Mice and Men," etc. in Asbury Park, but not until Norfolk State U. did I even know "Kaffir Boy" existed. And what a travesty! I know all about white history and such. Someone asked me the other day how I even heard of a group called "Frankie Goes To Hollywood." Because when I was growing up in the 80's, everything on MTV was white. I had never met a Chinese person except the goof in high school who got voted "Class Clown." My favorite television show was "Tales of the Gold Monkey," a show with no black characters. A great deal of black life, especially literature, is lost on today's youth because it was lost on yesterday's youth.
Why were we spared the turmoil of Mark Mathabane's childhood? His oppression by evil soldiers who shared the darkness of his skin tone, as they forced him to practically dance in feces? His needs, yearns for a better life studying tennis at the tutledge of a kindly white sponsor? His fright at unexpected and often raids on his poor village by storm troopers ripe with power and arrogance yet bereft of dignity and compassion? Why didn't anyone tell me of this book when I was 15? Because if we're aware of the evils of the world when we are young, there will be unlimited resources for us to change it in the future.

This review is from: Kaffir Boy: The True Story Of A Black Youths Coming Of Age In Apartheid South Africa (Paperback)
The autobiography "Kaffir Boy" by Mark Mathabane is a very engrossing and vivid novel. Mark Mathabane encountered hardships in his life that most of the people in this world cannot even imagine. Apartheid laws in South Africa affected the lives of all the black families in both their public and private lives. Mark Mathabane grew up in society where apartheid was in total effect. The gruesome experiences that Mathabane faced were sometimes too much to bear. However, with the support of his loving mother and grandmother, Mathabane succeeded in his education by being the top in his class. Aware of the unjust laws of apartheid, Mark Mathabane was determined to somehow make a change in the community he lives in. His passion for tennis was what helped him change his life. Even with all the obstacles in his life, Mathabane hopes to be able to study in America with a tennis scholarship. With hard work and perseverance his dreams came true eventually.
"Kaffir Boy" is a very inspiring novel to everyone that is ambitious and hopeful. I learned so much through reading Mark Mathabane's autobiography. There is always hope and there is nothing impossible in this world, as long as we never give up in what we want to succeed in. With no doubt in mind, this novel is outstanding and worth it.

This review is from: Kaffir Boy: The True Story Of A Black Youths Coming Of Age In Apartheid South Africa (Paperback)
I recently read "Kaffir Boy" by Mark Mathabane, a true interesting autobiography story base of the brutal horror laws of Apartheid in South Africa and about Mr. Mathabane struggles and enthusiasm to overcome his dream, to be someone in life. I was sock, when I was reading this book for all the unjust laws that were apply to black Africans. Mr. Mathabane shows us the atrocities he lived through his childhood and his family in Alexandra, South Africa. First of all, he show us how non-whites were threaded like un-human beings, discriminated by whites, poverty among black community, lock of freedom, starvation, living in small shakes, and not having equal rights. I was so unaware of the hardships that black South Africa was living. I admired Mr. Mathabane for his encouragement of seeking a better life. Although he was living difficult circumstances with his family and having endless struggles to accomplish his goal, he was able to accomplish his dream such as, finishing school with a high gpa and obtaining a scholarship to study tennis in America and have freedom. Also, for never being led by bad influence, to always having his mind in continuing progressing in life. This incredibly interesting book had open my eyes to a new world that I had never knew it existed. He changes my point of view of never give up my dreams, always fight to succeed. This book really got into me, I couldn't put the book down once I was reading it and I did not even notice I was already reading the last page. I really recommend this book to all people that want to have knowledge of an important history of South Africa. If you want to know an incredible person that did everything to accomplish his goal, you should read this incredible book. I'm sure you'll like it!

"flimsyman123" (CO USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Kaffir Boy: The True Story Of A Black Youth's Coming Of Age In Apartheid South Africa (School & Library Binding)
he book "Kaffir Boy" not only captures the real life hardships that occurred in South Africa under the Apartide, but it is also a great story of success and avercoming all adversity. The Story is told from the perspective of Mark Mathabane when he is a young boy all the way up until he is a fully grown man. Mark Mathabane in his autobiography tells the story of what it is like to overcome true poverty in this story which at many times is sad and depressing, while at other times can make one laugh and smile. While reading this book one will go through a roller coaster of emotions, which will make you never weant to put down this book.
The main reason I liked this book was because of the perspective it was told in, which is of course the first person perspective. What this does for the book is it make it very belivable, because you know that everything that happened in the book is true and it wasn't just though up by some author who never experienced what South Africa was really like. And the other this this does for the book is it maked is so much more detailed. Mark Mathabane make is so that the readon knows almost every detail so you can better understand the situation that is occuring in the novel. I belive the only bad thing about this book would be that some of the scenes in the book seemed like they were un-needed. One example of this would be the part of the book where a raping occures, and there are many other scenes like this in the book. But what I think Mark Mathabane is trying to do is just to help the reader better understand the situation he was in. In closing I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is trying to learn about South Africa uner the Apartide because the book gives you a really great understanding of what it was really like.
4.0 out of 5 stars Kaffir Boy Review,
This review is from: Kaffir Boy: The True Story Of A Black Youth's Coming Of Age In Apartheid South Africa (School & Library Binding)
Kaffir Boy is set in South Africa during apartheid in the 1960's; it is an autobiography of the life of Mark Mathabane who tells the ups and downs of his life. The story begins with a bang as the SAP (South African Police) journey uninvited into Mark's house looking for his parents to check his passport. This happens many times throughout the book and Mark begins to adapt it as a well of everyday life. Mark also encounters poverty when his father is arrested for not having his passport in order. His family results to near starvation for months until his grandmother is able to help them get back on their feet until Mark's father returns from prison. Mark's next step lands him in school, although his father is completely bent against him going his mother is able to provide for his education. Mark ends up being at the top of his class and gets a scholarship to a college. He begins to pick up tennis and plays with more white players around the world; he begins to idolize Arthur Ashe and watches one of his matches. Mark ends up being a class act tennis player and making friends with several white people. At the end of the book Mark changes as a person, he didn't like whites at the beginning but learned that all whites were not bad and he also felt like he had completed all his goals coming out of a ghetto.
The reason I give the book 4 of 5 stars is really the length and content of the book. I feel as though more information then necessary was given sometimes. I see where Mark was coming from though, trying to give the raw details of the ghetto so readers from a suburban neighborhood would understand what it was like in the 1960's but I also feel like some of the mentioned material was much too explicit. Mark was able to catch my attention though and no other book before has been able to do that, it is a great autobiography to say the least. I recommend it to readers 16 years old and above and anybody with a lot of free time on their hands.
5.0 out of 5 stars Authentic,
This review is from: Kaffir Boy: The True Story Of A Black Youths Coming Of Age In Apartheid South Africa (Paperback)
This is apartheid through the lucid eyes of a young, intelligent black boy. It seems more authentic perhaps because it is not seen through white lens, because although many white South Africans may have detested apartheid, they could not have felt it like the black South Africans did.
This book makes one wonder why movies like CRY FREEDOM lionized a white South African while over-looking the thousands of everyday heroes in the black community. People who lived from day to day under a system that saw them as sub-human, as unworthy of simple common decency.
The prose is fluid and immediate and the story is, thankfully, full of a pure, beautiful human anger and a keen desire to truthfully reflect a devastated people and community. Mathabane does not shy away, either, from indicting the black elite in addition to the white oppressors.
This book is an example of The System overcoming The Person. Sometimes it is impossible for that 'pulling yourself up by your bootstraps' idea to work because in many ways, we can excel largely only as much as the system under which we live allows us to. Also, a system can, by depriving people of dignity, turn them, like Mathabane's father and thousands of other black men, into the Living Dead.

This review is from: Kaffir Boy: The True Story Of A Black Youths Coming Of Age In Apartheid South Africa (Paperback)
Great words. Wonderful plot. Awesome characterization. All of these things can be found in Mark Mathabanes exciting autobiography, Kaffir Boy. This autobiography combines the vileness of South African apartheid and one young lad?s struggle for freedom with astonishing results. Kaffir Boy takes an aggressive look into the wickedness of apartheid and the ravishing affects it can take on the future in an engaging manner that lures the reader into the plot.
Within Kaffir Boy, the plot blossoms through magnificent character development, guided by Mark. The story is encapsulated within an autobiography format- as the characters grow, so does the plot- as shown when Mark first realizes apartheid, and the detrimental effect it has on black society. By showing this truth, the reader has the opportunity to look into the world of a black South African drowning in the havoc of apartheid. The honest viewpoint shared an unbiased hope of life that kept the reader hooked. Along with this, Mark and his family build on to the story with details from daily life and family tradition. It really opened up a new viewpoint of world cultures as I felt myself being drawn into the characters lives, struggles and achievements. The character development in Kaffir Boy was a flawless, exciting addition to this book.
Along with character development, Mark's true life story unfurls through the plot a wicked twist on your feelings, emotions and beliefs that will make your morals shout out from the sidelines. The events in this book that I liked the least were the racism shown to the blacks in South Africa. The ways blacks were treated throughout this work really gave me a culture shock. Although the white's actions were horrible, Mark's actions and the persistent drive behind them shone like a candle in the night, as a hero in a sorrow filled world. The event that I liked the best was when Mark was freed of the bonds of apartheid through his talents and hard work, the theme was shown strongly through his actions and I admire his die-hard attitude. Also, the motif was very encouraging and kept me hooked. The plot of Kaffir Boy was exciting and will keep any reader thirsting for more.
So is Kaffir Boy a bright work or boring bummer? I encourage you to read this fabulous book and decide for yourself. Kaffir Boy astonished me with new viewpoints and aspects within the menacing world of apartheid. Make sure you add this five- star choice to your bookshelf- Kaffir Boy.
1.0 out of 5 stars Propaganda tool aimed at ignorant Americans.,
JAMES D JONES (LITTLETON, CO United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Kaffir Boy: The True Story Of A Black Youths Coming Of Age In Apartheid South Africa (Paperback)
According to the author, white South Africans all lived in mansions, drove Rolls-Royces and Mercedes, had herds of black servants treated worse than slaves, white children which had never seen black school children before etc etc. Mrs. Smith was buying for her son bicycles, roller blades, ping-pong tables and other stuff (all plural), which would requre storage space size of Walmart! Get real! I visited South Africa many times in 1970's, 80's and 90's and I can say that "Kaffir Boy" is another propaganda tool aimed at ignorant Americans. Author has his agenda, himself being the white-hater he is attempting to shape the public opinion in similar fashion.
He is suspended in vacuum between the dead end street of tribalism (whatever happened to "when we were kings" idea - in the book his fater and his tribe are morons), and the world built by the white people he is longing for and hating at the same time.
America of 1970's is shown as the promised land of equal opportunities for the blacks. It's 2003 now and the blacks still don't think so and there are cries for more affirmative action and never ending government handouts.
Love this book if you are a heart bleeding liberal, but if you have any common sense, frequent inconsistiencies should be easy to spot. No doubt that the policy of racial segregation in South Africa was wrong and cruel, but this book is not a true story it claims to be. It's a mix of truth, lies and imagined fiction. It's meant to be the author's revenge, just like Jerzy Kosinski's "Painted Bird", which at the time of it's publication was a believable and true story, until dismissed years later as bunch of lies and garbage.
5.0 out of 5 stars Horror,
By A Customer
This review is from: Kaffir Boy: The True Story Of A Black Youths Coming Of Age In Apartheid South Africa (Paperback)
Kaffir Boy was an inspirational read that motivated me and has since influenced my life. My reading this book made me interested in South Africa and helping the people there. The images in this true story were horrific and make me want to change the world. I have dreamt of going to South Africa and helping ending the discrimination.
The story of a South African family and their life living through Apartheid was very deep and put my emotions into the pages I read. It covers the issues of Apartheid, laws against blacks and the personal story of a boy growing up embedded in these horrors. The boy, Mark, is a strong character with a great deal of determination to get out of South Africa and make something of himself. He sees his parents give in to the police and not stand up for themselves. He refuses to get sucked into the dismay of Apartheid and the atrocities the authorities have put them through.
Mark's grandmother helps mark through school by teaching him the things she has learned on her own and arranges for him to get the money for school supplies, books and appropriate clothing. She arranged for him to meet the family of her employers, where he eventually learned to play tennis and meets Stan Smith. Through this connection, he is able to go to America and go to college on a tennis scholarship.
This story is much more complex than the outlying shape of the plot. It leaves a scar on every reader who experiences the horrible phenomenon of Apartheid. It gives a real sense of the constant terror these people live with, the atrocities they face every day of their life and the undying dream of freedom they all share.

Kaffir Boy
Mark Matherbane has had many up's and down's throughout his young childhood. He went through beatings and fights, up to schools and scholarships. There are many African black people being mistreated every day of there life in the South African city, Alexandria.
In South Africa, black people are being treated very poorly every day of there life's by white people in the story, "Kaffir Boy." There are many young boys in South Africa. But Mark Matherbane was a very unique kid who had a dream, and set his mind and heart to accomplish it. His world was very tuff and treated him very unfairly. He took care of his family the best of his ability at such a young age.
There was a family of five who lived in the deep heart of Alexandria. There family was starving and poor. They had no money. Mark was so young and almost hitting death of starvation, he pulled out of it. This shows that if you set a dream or a goal, and you try hard enough to reach it, it will always come true.
There are many things that have happened to Mark throughout his life. Mark fought with his father every day when he was growing up. I also get in a lot of arguments with my parents. He wanted to kill his father he was so mad. I would never go that far. Mark had two things that he was good at that brought him through life. It was his tennis career, that he was so good at, and his education. His talent mad him become friends with many different whites. In the end Mark did overcome all of his obstacles and reach his goal. He got his scholarship and went to America.
I would recommend it to young adults over 15 years of age. Only people who want to know the truth about how black people where treated in South Africa by whites and all others. Ignoring all of the gross stuff, the book was very good and I would give it four stars. I don't read many books, but this one was excellent.

We were very impressed with the quality of singing and production values. The role of Dolly couldn't have been more perfectly cast or delivered than by Karen Ziemba. She was fabulous and really key to the musical's success. David Lively, too, is...continued

Over all a great job. The first half was a little slow and the part with the waiters was a little long but other than that it was a great job.

On hot days I always find it hard to want to cook (or eat) a big dinner. So in thinking through what to make for dinner I started to think "a salad or maybe sandwiches..." which led me to lettuce wraps! It's simple, delicious and filling without being that hot, heavy dish you don't want on a beautiful summer day.
|Dinner is served!
Lettuce Wraps
1 Big Head of Boston Bibb Lettuce
1 Lb Ground Beef (or Ground Turkey)
1 Large Onion, Diced
2 Cloves of Garlic, Diced
2 Tbs Soy Sauce
1/2 Cup Hoisin Sauce
1 tsp Ground Ginger
1 Tbs Rice Wine Vinegar
2 tsp. Sesame Oil
1-2 Tbs Garlic Chili Sauce (I used 2 and it was perfectly spicy...if you have a more sensitive palate use 1 or omit all together)
1 (8oz) Can of Water Chestnuts, Chopped
1 Bunch of Green Onions, Chopped
Chop and dice onions, garlic and water chestnuts and set aside. Add ground beef to a large skillet, season with salt and pepper, and cook over medium high heat until completely browned. Drain excess fat.
Add chopped white onion and garlic and cook until onion becomes soft, about 3-4 min. Add remaining ingredients. Stir to incorporate. Turn off heat to low and cover to keep warm.
Carefully separate individual leaves from the lettuce head. Wash each leaf thoroughly and place on paper towels to dry. Pat the tops of the leaves with more paper towels to dry further, being careful not to tear the leaves.

You get what you paid forPosted Jul 1, 2014
Don't ignore the reviews like I did. I kept saying to myself it's not that bad , well I lied to myself. The location is great for the beach but not close to the broadwalk. Where should I begin, 1. Room is very very very outdated 2. Bathroom needs lots of work 3. Kitchen is a nice size but not clean and very old. 4. Bedrooms were a nice size but smelled stale and old. 5. Pool was the best features 6. Only one TV worked Good thing is my family arrived late so we didn't spend much time in the hotel. If you're a hotel person this place is not for you. I wouldn't recommend this place. Staff was very nice.

People on a budgetPosted Jul 16, 2013
Ok so I read all the bad reviews and stayed anyway. We ae on a really tight budget and it was the cheapest motel and the only one that didn't require a 3 night stay. This was by no means a good motel but if your only sleeping in the room and going to be out the rest of the time then it works. If you plan on being in the room a lot then stay elsewhere. Basically good for people who are looking for a cheap room and will only use it to sleep in.

Business finance is a field of study that is widely offered at schools. Courses in this field are available at all levels - from professional development workshops to doctoral programs. Keep reading for more information about business finance classes.
Essential Information
Business finance is a field of study that deals with how corporations, organizations and small businesses handle money. There are many educational offerings in business finance, from certificates and associate degrees to bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees. Business finance courses can be found at professional training centers, technical colleges and 4-year universities.
List of Business Finance Classes
Read the list below to get more information about subjects covered in business finance classes.
Statistics for Business Course
A statistics course for business can be taken at an introductory or an advanced level. For those in an associate degree program, an introductory class is most appropriate. The more advanced the degree program, the more advanced the course level. A general business statistics course will talk about forecasting numbers and budgets. Students will learn how to analyze numerical information. This course will include topics of time series analysis, correlations, variance analysis and testing hypothetical financial forecasts. Statistical software may also be used in this course.
Marketing Course
Marketing deals with the tools and concepts used to put a company or products into the minds of consumers. A marketing course within a business finance program will cover general concepts of the marketing mix: product, price, place and promotion. Concepts in new marketing, such as social media, may also be addressed. Students will study consumer behavior, distribution processes and risk.
Banks and Financial Institutions Course
This course deals with banks and financial institutions all over the world. Students look at the roles of banks and lenders in business, commercial bank processes and banking or financial regulations. A large portion of time in this course is spent on risk management and commercial banks. Students also become familiar with the Federal Reserve System and international banking.
International Finance Course
An international finance course covers global money management topics, such as foreign exchange, international corporations, investments, international trade and regulatory policies. Students will also learn about various international problems related to different economies, and how to analyze finances for businesses dealing in international trade or markets; methods for financing foreign investments will also be addressed. This course includes teaching through case studies and analysis of current trends in international finance.
Investments and Markets Course
Students in an investments and marketing course learn techniques in valuation, allocation of assets and management of money portfolios. Some programs may include two separate courses: one focused on investments, the other on specific markets. Topics will also include hedge funds, managing financial risk, international markets and investments, and e-trade. Depending on the specific program, students may even learn about the value of private versus public companies, capital investments, inflation, mergers and acquisitions.
Venture Capital Course
Venture capital is an investment (typically done through private funds) in a company or idea that has room for high yield or growth. Many times, venture capital investments are made in order to acquire shares of a company or buy the company once significant profits have been made. In a venture capital course, students learn through case studies and real-world scenarios. Budgeting capital, estimating capital costs and assessing financial performance are all covered. Students will also learn about young corporations or entrepreneurial companies and the problems that face these organizations financially.

KD Rhine Pass from Koblenz
Reviewed by: KAY C, December 2014
This tour was amazing!
Reviewed by: Anne D, December 2013
This was an amazing trip, you can make as long or short as you want. Castles and villages along the way were breathtaking. You can't visit this region and skip this cruise. It's a must do!
Reviewed by: Hannah D, December 2013
Before booking my tickets I had read all the positive reviews and was sure my trip would be no different...and it wasn't! We had a wonderful time. They offered plenty of opportunities to get off the boat and explore the small towns along the Rhine, but if you decided not to, the views from the boat were pretty incredible. Only a brief description is provided of the castles, but they did offer books on the ship which I'm sure give more detail. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this cruise.
Reviewed by: Yoda, August 2013
Excellent. Very fortunate to have a beautiful day and spent it outside on the upper deck. Extremely well organised and wished we had more time to get off and explore some of the towns along the way. Lost count of the number of castles but having some announcements in English along the way helpful. Very nice ferry, great food and spotlessly clean. Given half a chance would definitely do again!
Reviewed by: Vickie S, July 2013
Very relaxing river cruise. Beautiful views during the whole trip. We would recommend this trip to everyone.
Reviewed by: RAELEIGH E, July 2013
The Rhine cruise was just great. The booking online, picking up of tickets and friendliness of staff was excellent. The service on board was first class as was the actual cruise. Koblenz to Rudesheim is a magnificent stretch of the Rhine to view the many lovely German towns and castles.
Overall a memorable experience.
Reviewed by: Rodney L, August 2012
Koblenz is an interesting City in an exceptional situation with the two rivers and a cable car ride to enjoy as well as a good base to take advantage of the many cruise boats.

No rethink on the nuclear deal, says BJP; Henry Kissinger meets Advani
NEW DELHI: It would not be possible for the Bharatiya Janata Party to accept the 123 agreement on the India-United States nuclear deal in its present form. This was conveyed to the U.S. Ambassador to India David Mulford when he called on BJP president Rajnath Singh on Monday afternoon.
The meeting lasted over an hour and the deal was discussed in some detail, especially the points related to strategic sovereignty, independent foreign policy and the BJP's demand that the deal should have been discussed by a Joint Parliamentary Committee before a debate in Parliament.
Earlier Mr. Mulford had similar meetings with the Leader of the Opposition, L.K. Advani and the former National Security Adviser, Brajesh Mishra, over the last one week. Simultaneously, the former Secretary of State, Henry Kissinger, visiting India, met Mr. Advani at his residence for over 30 minutes to discuss with him the finer points of the deal.
After the meeting with Mr. Mulford, Mr. Singh told The Hindu: "I told him that it is not possible for us [the BJP] to accept the 123 agreement as it is. We have already stated our concerns related to strategic sovereignty, that is the freedom to conduct further nuclear tests if our security situation so demands, independence of foreign policy, and the need for Parliament to conduct an informed debate on the deal after a Joint Parliamentary Committee is set up to look at it in detail."
Mr. Singh also said that there was no re-think in the party on the deal. It was not about to enter into any agreement with the Congress to support it in Parliament. "We are in the Opposition. We will oppose it if a vote is taken."
Asked why the former Prime Minister, Atal Bihari Vajpayee, announced in 1998 a "voluntary moratorium" on further testing and offered a legally binding agreement on this, Mr. Singh said there was a big difference between a "voluntary" decision and one that was arrived at as a result of an agreement with another country. The "voluntary" moratorium would not have come in the way of further testing if the needs of the security situation demanded a new test.
Later, a BJP spokesperson said that Mr. Mulford was meeting the party's senior leaders to understand the concerns of the party and its position on the nuclear deal.
Separately, senior party leader Venkaiah Naidu said: "We are not blindly anti-American. But the Centre did not show any transparency on the deal; it was not discussed properly with parties."
Paulson meets PM
PTI reports from New Delhi:
U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry M. Paulson met Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Monday in the backdrop of U.S. stating that it remained "committed" to the Indo-U.S. civilian nuclear cooperation.
Mr. Paulson discussed a range of economic and strategic issues with Dr. Singh.
Besides the nuclear deal, the two countries are trying to bridge the gap between the developed and developing nations in the Doha Round of the World Trade Organisation.

1975 Vietnamese camp relived at Pendleton
Tent city exhibit opens today
What: Exhibit by the Camp Pendleton Historical Society and Oceanside's "The Big Read" program. Features paintings and drawings from 1975 by Marine combat artist Charles Waterhouse and documentary photographs.
When: Today through Sept. 30.
Hours: 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday
Where: Camp Pendleton Ranch House, corner of Vandegrift Boulevard and Basilone Road
Information: (760) 725-5758. Tour groups require a reservation. Single visitors should call ahead.
Cost: Free; donation suggested
Camp Pendleton was the first of four Vietnamese resettlement camps to open in the United States.
Volume: 50,418 Southeast Asian refugees passed through the base's gates.
Population: At its peak, the camp had 18,500 refugees; 165 children were born to refugee parents.
The tab: $17 million for the camp; $5.04 per day for each refugee.
— Compiled by staff librarian Merrie Monteagudo
When Phillip Nguyen arrived at Camp Pendleton in June 1975, it was a chaotic hive of Vietnamese refugees living elbow-to-elbow in military tents.
Standing on the same site nearly 35 years later, Nguyen pointed to the pastoral landscape, now green with long grasses, overgrown shrubs and little yellow wildflowers. He noted the oak trees where people took shade and the dry creekbed they used for a footpath.
"It was a lot different. Crowded, noisy. So much activity," said Nguyen, 54, who came to this country as a 19-year-old college student.
Camp Pendleton's role in temporarily hosting 50,400 refugees at the end of the Vietnam War is becoming a distant memory for some, but the base's historical society wants to make sure it's not forgotten. Not only was the "tent city" the first U.S. home for the refugees, the encampment is credited with reshaping Southern California's Asian population.
It was a massive undertaking: Nearly 900 Marines and civilians worked for six days to erect the 958 tents and 140 Quonset huts. But official paintings and drawings of the massive tent city were just hanging in a building hallway at the base, barely noticed, until collected by the Camp Pendleton Historical Society for an exhibit that opens to the public today. Documentary-style photographs taken by Marine correspondents were sitting in dusty storage.
April 30 marks the 35th anniversary of the fall of Saigon. This month also is the anniversary of the San Diego County encampment that allowed the United States to welcome Vietnamese refugees fleeing the Communists who had prevailed in a 16-year civil war.
Camp Pendleton was the only tent city in the West; other resettlement sites were built at Fort Chaffee in Arkansas, Eglin Air Force Base in Florida and Fort Indiantown Gap in Pennsylvania.
Many of Camp Pendleton's foreign guests stayed in Southern California, appreciating the warm weather that wasn't too unlike their homeland. They moved south to San Diego's Linda Vista neighborhood and north to Orange County's Westminster, where the "Little Saigon" area is one of the largest concentrations of Vietnamese culture outside of Asia.
Today, an estimated 37,000 people of Vietnamese descent live in San Diego County, or about 12 percent of the county's Asian population, according to 2008 U.S. Census figures.

Detectives were trying Monday to identify other teen-age boys who might have had contact with a Granada Hills High School special education teacher arrested last week on suspicion of having sex with a runaway student, police said.
``There is information there may have been more than one victim. Supposedly there are some previous complaints to LAPD,'' said Sgt. Rick Young, a spokesman for the Glendale Police Department.
``Nobody is telling us they know other boys had sexual contact with her. They know they had a relationship with her. We need to talk to the kids and see.''
Florine Maria Strimel, 35, who taught English at the school, is expected to be arraigned at Glendale Municipal Court today, officials said.
She was arrested Friday on suspicion of having sexual intercourse with a 17-year-old student with a learning disability, police and school officials said. Strimel was still in Los Angeles County jail on Monday, held on $265,000 bail. Los Angeles school officials put her on unpaid leave.
At Granada Hills High, teachers, students and administrators reacted with shock.
``I was devastated,'' the school's principal Kathleen Rattay said on Monday, a ``pupil-free day'' for accreditation preparation.
``Some of the students held her in high regard. . . . We are startled and stunned. And we are concerned about the students' reactions.''
Crisis counselors will be available today.
The boy told police that he had been dating his teacher for a month and ran away from home on Wednesday because he was having trouble communicating with his parents, Young said.
He paged Strimel on Wednesday, looking for a place to stay, Young said. She returned the page and allowed him to stay at her rented Salem Street home in Glendale. The student returned to school Friday and was questioned by police.
Young said the boy had also run away to Strimel's home for a four-day period in February.
Residents have been calling police since the arrest was made public.
``We have received numerous phone calls. In the last five years, several people are saying they know she was with this boy or that boy,'' Young said.
A few students walking near the school said they were shocked by the arrest of the teacher, described as popular among some students.
``She was pretty cool to hang out with,'' said Alyson Unger, who formerly attended the high school, but is now enrolled at West Granada High, a continuation school.
She knew how to relate to students and worked with them individually, students said. One student said the teacher manicured one female student's nails for homecoming. Another female student said she hung out in Strimel's class during lunch or to ditch a class.
Strimel's special education class sizes of 10 to 15 students made it more conducive to work in small groups, said another student, Becky Hager, who occasionally had Strimel as a substitute teacher.
``She acted cool to the students. . . . She would pay a lot of attention to each student.''
Strimel joined the Los Angeles Unified School District as a substitute teacher in February 1994, said Socorro Serrano, a spokeswoman for the district. She became an emergency credentialed English teacher at Granada Hills High in September.
As an emergency credential teacher, Strimel underwent the same background checks and fingerprinting as credentialed teachers, Serrano said.

Rural Development Minister Gopinath Munde passed away on Tuesday morning after meeting with a fatal car accident in Delhi.
Munde was a prominent leader of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Maharashtra. As a politician, he won the hearts of many close aides while working tirelessly in the state. His sudden demise has come as a big blow to the BJP, especially since they are about to fight the Assembly elections in October 2014.
In these difficult moments, BJP leaders in Maharashtra refuse to believe that such a turn of events could happen in broad daylight. Questions are being raised. Did his driver jump the red light? Was his driver new and inexperienced? How many people knew that he was flying from Delhi airport today? Were there those who were jealous of his success, and did not want to see him prosper? These questions are being raised after some spokespersons from Maharashtra went ahead and made such statements.
Leaders such as Prakash Anna Shengde and Awadhut Wagh claim that it is impossible that such an accident can just happen, and are calling his accident to be a conspiracy, and have gone to the extent to demand a CBI probe.
Shengde, Maharashtra BJP spokesperson, claimed in an interview with Zee News that Munde's death was not an accident but a conspiracy. "It is hard to believe that such a big personality like him, a VIP, a minister of India with so much security, would pass away in an ordinary accident," he said. He added, "At six in the morning there is hardly any traffic in Delhi, in that situation, a car being hit from behind doesn't make sense."
When asked whether he had any suspects in mind, he said, "I don't want to point any fingers. An investigation must be done, and then the truth will come out."
Maharashtra BJP leaders demand CBI inquiry into Gopinath Munde's car accident and subsequent death at AIIMS. Watch the video:
Another Maharashtra BJP spokesperson, Awadhut Wagh, has said that Munde's death might be a planned conspiracy, and demanded a CBI probe into the matter.
In a statement, Wagh said, "Unless an inquiry is done, we won't be satisfied. People think this could be a conspiracy. Although I am not a policeman to decide whether it was an accident, and to inquire on this matter is the job of police, I would just like to add that Mundeji used to travel in a high security vehicle with guards, how come he was in a normal car?"
Talking about the specifics, Wagh elaborated on Munde's travel style, "He used move all across the nation. He used to travel in a comfortable car with safety equipment. The Indica came and hit the car on Gopinath Munde's side and not otherwise. The car was overtaken from the left side," he said.
Like Shengde, Wagh too did not point fingers at anyone. "I cannot say anything for sure, but I think this might be a conspiracy, and an inquiry should be done; the truth should come out to people. I demand a CBI enquiry."
Earlier on Tuesday, BJP vice president Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi has said that Munde's body would be placed at BJP headquarters on Tuesday for party leaders to pay their last respects. His last rites will be performed in Parali village in Beed district of Maharashtra on Wednesday.

Congrats..what a great print !
congrats master \m/
Congrats man!
Wow congrats Sir! this is great tee!
congrats buddy! :D
love the art, but a bit ambivalent of DBH's print (as shown in the Male shirt pics). It lacks the sharpness of the original art, though the entire image seems very soft, though I assume it's either a bad JPG or an issue on my end. Regardless, I feel for the ladies, because this shouldn't have been printed on white.
Nevertheless, I love the original art and would seriously consider hanging a print on my wall (and as many shirts as I have, this is only the 3rd one I'd consider framing.. Great work roncabardz.
BTW, why are so many DBH artists from the Philippines (or maybe I just to like art by Filipino artists).
Really cool design and i always love a Sage Heather blank for the tee. Well done on this one! =D
KONGRATZ!....excellent execution both from artist and ink-people!
Thank you so much guys. It such an honor to be printed again. Thank you fellow humans.
Congrats roncabardz – You made the Top Most Printed designers list!
congrats bro!
fagsure sa XL hap! haha
I like the female t-shirt version seriously because it is white and the print is freaking cool. – United Faith Church

China convicts hospital workers after high-profile labour protest
Published on Apr 15, 2014 4:05 PM
GUANGZHOU (REUTERS) - A Chinese court on Tuesday convicted 12 hospital security guards of "disturbing social order" after staging a labour protest last year, sentencing several to light jail terms in what was seen as a test case for labour rights in China.
The guards had been part of a group of more than 100 healthcare workers embroiled in a months-long dispute with the Guangzhou Chinese Medicine University Hospital over labour conditions and compensation.
Cut out of a deal that was eventually struck between the hospital and other workers, the guards on August 19 threatened to jump off the hospital building and were detained by police.
The ruling by the district court in the southern city of Guangzhou, convicting the guards of "gathering a crowd to disturb social order", comes against a backdrop of growing labour activism in China and was calibrated to send a message, said Duan Yi, a labour lawyer and counsel for one of the guards. "They are sending a signal to society at large which is that as workers protect their rights, if they are even slightly extreme they could receive criminal punishment," he said.
