LYON, France, November 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Entrepreneurs need to understand how to do business in global, rather than just domestic markets if they are to fulfill their true potential, says Patrice Houdayer, Dean of the leading European business school, EMLYON. In fact this type of entrepreneurship may be the only viable way of escaping the threat of global recession.

GOUDA, The Netherlands, November 26 /PRNewswire/ -- TSS Cross Media Group and RTL Germany have signed a contract to replace the N-TV teletext network.

N-TV is the definitive business TV channel for approximately 100 million German language speakers across Europe. This German national television channel which broadcasts news according to the CNN model, is part of the RTL Group.

It is therefore no coincidence that TSS will provide the channel with the same systems that the RTL Group in Germany has been using for over 17 years now.

There have been several reports in the media lately of riotous British stag/hen parties being held abroad, heavily fueled by alcohol. Postings on some party websites describe in graphic detail, (sometimes very graphic detail), the wild goings-on at these events most commonly held in Eastern European countries such as Poland or the Czech Republic. Websites and agencies promoting these trips away educate you, not on the culture and history of the country, but on how to go out and get blitzed or find the best brothels on your stag or hen night.
