Indonesian Students Ranked Third Largest Foreign Students

Indonesians are now the third largest group of foreigners studying  in Taiwan after Vietnamese and Malaysians, a Taiwanese official said.

"Most of the Indonesian students are majoring in engineering, technology and business management at some of Taiwan's finest universities," said the director of Elite Study In Taiwan (ESIT) program, Tsang-yao Chen, here  Tuesday.
      
According to Chen, the top five countries in number of people studying in Taiwan were Vietnam with 1,537 students, Malaysia 1,241 students, Indonesia 615 students, South Korea 445 students, and France 423 students. Indonesian students studying in Taiwan in 2009 numbered  2,275  consisting of 1,392 degree-seeking students, six exchange students and 877 Chinese language students, also some 55 university-level education cooperation agreements were signed from 2000 to 2009 between Taiwan and Indonesia, which indicates the extent of the two countries'  collaboration in the educational field.

Most of the students at Taiwanese universities were studying with  government-provided scholarships for which they had applied via the web site ESIT had provided, he said.

"The process to apply for a scholarship to study in Taiwan is very easy. Just visit our website www.esit.org.tw and follow the given  instructions," Chen said.
      
Chen also said  universities in Taiwan provide high quality education at  costs lower than in other countries.
     
"To obtain a master's degree at a public university in Taiwan, one only needs six thousand US dollars per year and at a private university  about eight thousand US dollars, not  including the cost of living," Chen said.

Corporate Entrepreneurship

Corporations are a vital part of an economy.  So are foundations, government, and faith based initiatives.  In corporations employees are starving for a new direction to create a new economy and adapt.  Corporations are largely responsible for more business transparency because of the push for information technology (IT) and access to relevant information.  Look at what information can be gathered from a Google search and now we can go directly to the consumer via Twitter and most importantly made our voices heard to produce positive change.

If you're in a corporation trying to catch the next trend, then see what you think of this approach.  Instill corporate entrepreneurship by:

1.    Find Your Entrepreneurial Spirit

Answer the following questions: 

Have you created anything new, improved a service or process to get work and get it done better?  Are your employees excited like kids or dragging in with a bewildered look?  Are you proactive in your industry or reactive?  Do your employees even know what to do with an idea and how it flows through your organization?  Are you finding the right partnerships to serve the marketplace in a unique and better way?  Are you creating new relationships and do you really understand how to grow an idea and what it takes to germinate?   

2.    Maintain a Winning Mental Mindset

Employees need to know and believe what they are doing really makes a positive difference.  They are more interested in having serious fun at work hundreds of days a year versus the weeks of vacation they receive.  Work on instilling the mental motivation skills so your employees can be proud of the work they do to compete in a capitalistic marketplace.  Put winning back into the workplace culture.  More successes increases confidence and builds a foundation for mental motivation skills through confidence and acts as a resource to grab from to create more successes.  Increasing your employees' mental motivation skills to learn at another new best level is the fastest way for performance improvement to grow, profit, and evolve.

3.    Use Leadership Teamwork

The top down structure of leadership has been diminishing more and more and this will continue because of the will of the people and technology.  Sure, for every decision there is a decision maker or group of decision makers.  As a decision maker or non-decision maker are you involved in facilitated sessions or retreats to help decipher what your team really wants, prioritize, and produce goals and metrics?  My research indicates that the majority of employees want to be on a team.  However, the dynamics of a team are missing because they are not empowered to input for various reasons.  Therefore, they feel isolated and this disrupts their mindset by putting their thinking in a rut.  Sure, they can be fired but isn't the purpose of a corporation to develop and grow each employee as an individual with unique talents and skills as well as a teammate.  You'll be surprised that instead of handling moral and attitude issues they will be forcing you to look at ways for you as a leader to grow, distribute, and incentize them to make your job easier and corporation more productive and profitable.  Empowerment is not a buzzword.  It is real and if you are willing to garner its creative force it will create the excitement you are looking for as a leader, boss, and employee. 

Your clients will see the difference in your work and offerings.  Spruce up your entrepreneurial spirit, winning mental mindset, and leadership teamwork on a regular basis.  It's not a one shot deal.  You'll have more serious fun.  It just takes investment of work, time, and money.  That's real good because you receive a return on investment.  It will make the hundreds of days at work just as exciting as those vacation days unless, of course, you're going on an all expenses paid trip to Hawaii.

A Journey Along The Stunning Coastline Of Yorkshire

Fishing villages and artists' haunts

If you are looking for traditional seaside cottages North Yorkshire is the place for you. Here you will find picturesque fishing villages such as Robin Hoods Bay, Runswick Bay and Staithes. The pretty-coloured cottages and their red pantile roofs of Robin Hoods Bay are huddled around a slipway at the foot of a steep ravine and climb up the steep hillside. Packed with secret passages and alleyways, it is easy to imagine the days when smugglers would slip their contraband up the hill under the cover of darkness. The village has always been connected with the sea and fishing was the main livelihood here until the end of the 19th-century. Today, you can still see fishing boats and fishermen at work. Runswick Bay is another picture-postcard setting loved by both artists and holidaymakers. Situated at the northern end of a beautiful sandy beach, its red-roofed cottages with pretty gardens appear to tumble down the cliffside. On the seafront below you will find colourful fishing boats. Located furthest north Staithes, unlike the other two, is tucked into a cleft of rock which forms a natural harbour in this rugged patch of coastline. There's a Mediterranean feel to the place with its crop of white-washed cottages and haphazard pantile roofs. Not surprisingly many artists have been drawn to the area down the years and some are still displaying their work in the village. Staithes, however, is still a working village. There are often many fishing vessels in the harbour, adding to the beauty of the place, and fishermen regularly catch cod, lobsters and crabs. When the tide is out there are also many rock pools to explore, which are great for families with children.

Britain's first holiday resort and eccentric seaside attraction

Scarborough claims to be Britain's first holiday resort, welcoming visitors for over 360 years. Today it is a bustling seaside town catering for the whole family. The safe, sandy beaches of the North and South Bays are broken by a rocky headland on which stands a reminder of the past - Scarborough's medieval castle. At its foot is the harbour where the boats still land their catch. Safe beaches, clifftops and a busy shopping centre stand only yards apart and are all reached by the famous Victorian cliff lifts. In fact, those same Victorians left a town of immense style with some of the finest parks and gardens in Britain, the elegant Esplanade, the magnificent Spa Complex and the large Grand Hotel overlooking the South Bay. The North Bay area is much quieter than South Bay, so if you're looking for a bit of peace and quiet away from the crowds, this is the place to be. At the end of North Bay is Peasholm Park with boats for hire on a tranquil lake. The lake is also the venue for the thrice-weekly 'Battle of Peasholm', one of the great eccentric English seaside attractions. The battle between model warships mostly manpowered has been delighting audiences for more than 80 years!

The resort that never was

I first visited Ravenscar, the resort-that-never-was many years ago when walking the Cleveland Way National Trail. The views from the cliffs towards Robin Hood's Bay were simply breathtaking. However it was the story of the failed development that intrigued me. At the beginning of the 20th-century an ambitious plan to build a holiday resort called Peak was begun. A railway line was being built to link the towns of Scarborough and Whitby, with Peak as the central point. Roads were built, sewers were laid and plots of land sold to city dwellers who liked the idea of living by the beach. However, the plan was badly researched as the route to the shore is precarious and the area, though beautiful, is very exposed. The project failed when the development company went bankrupt. The layout of wide roads remains and the houses built for a new town look strangely out of place on the cliff top.

Home to Dracula - and the best fish and chips

With its quaint cobbled streets and picturesque houses standing on the steep slopes of the River Esk, Whitby is dominated by its cliff top Abbey. Situated along one of Britain's finest stretches of coastline, with cliffs, lovely bays, safe sandy beaches and attractive villages, Whitby has been a port for more than 1,000 years and is still a seafarers' town today. The narrow streets and alleys winding down to the quayside still bustle as they have done for centuries. From these centuries-old streets, 199 steps (it's a tradition to count them) lead up to the parish church of St Mary, whose churchyard inspired Bram Stoker to write his world-famous novel, Dracula. If you decide to spend a holiday in Whitby, you really must try the fish and chips! The town claims to have the best in the country, and it is hard to disagree. Perhaps the most famous is the Magpie Cafe. Overlooking the quayside the restaurant usually has a queue, but believe me, the wait is worth it. Rivals have sprung up along the quay, many award-winners in their own right.
