The magnificent Grand Canyon, located in northern Arizona, is the most famous American National Park. The canyon is immense: It covers over one million spectacular acres of wilderness. The main destinations at the park are the canyon's South Rim and West Rim, and bus rides from Las Vegas can take you to either one in luxurious comfort. The price for coach trips from Vegas to the canyon vary, and depend upon the number of people in your group. The...more

Fujifilm Finepix SL300 is a great bridge camera particularly for its price. I give it 4.5 stars for it's capabilities for what it is. Folks who expect to get the capabilities of the DSLR with a 720mm telephoto lens are going to be disappointed; despite its looks, this camera isn't an DSLR. It is a bridge camera and as it fulfils its task well.Overall, it is a decent camera for the price. The 2 features I love the most would be the 30x Optical zoom and the HD video.The optical zoom really allows you to get up-close to far away objects. The HD video is obviously a nice feature. It doesn't go as high as full HD, but it is still acceptable.A bridge camera is midway between a point-and-shoot and a DSLR. In other words, it's superior to a compact point-and-shoot as it has more functions (providing you with additional control) and a better lens. It's however more bulky and often more costly (but definitely not in this case).Versus a DSLR, a bridge camera does not have numerous functions, as good an image sensor or access to high-quality interchangeable lenses.I recommend this camera a lot. It has a decent lens with a zoom that is the equivalent of 24-720mm on a regular 35mm camera. A 24mm...more

Who will explain the reality of fee increases to students applying for university entrance? While this issue is most important for undergraduates, are there any implications in the long term for MBA Fees?Whether you think that the policy behind it is right or wrong, it seems that the hearts and minds campaign to convince students of the fairness of the proposed increase in university tuition is backfiring.There are two things that we are seeing among UK school students and undergraduates.1. Students do not understand the proposed fee increasesThe first is that current students do not realise that there will be no more of an upfront payment due under the proposed scheme, than there is under the present scheme under which they entered and will leave higher education. This perhaps shows that government assumptions that everyone understands the new policy are not true and, in such a major change to higher education, this position needs stating time and again until the message hits home.It has long been a given that experienced managers expect to pay for MBA Fees now it will become the norm for undergraduates to pay fees.2. Teachers in the dark about university entryThe second thing is...more
