Here’s some preliminary advice about Exam preparation for UK Universities:
Written exams are tough because they are timed, and force students to organise their answers in a clear, and concise fashion. You might notice that the prompts used for the weekly modules are frequently used in the actual past exams, that’s why you should consider specialising in a set number of modules so that you are prepared strategically to get the best grades. What do I mean by strategically prepared? If the course has 20 modules, and the exam will have only 12 questions where you must choose 3 questions to answer, then you only really have to know the ins and outs of 6 out of 20 modules. Unless the questions are not based on the weekly prompts, this should be the basis of your study strategy. Once you have mastered these modules, you will need to actually practice writing out answers to past exams in timed sessions. So you should get lined paper, and give yourself an hour for a prompt that you have worked on (ie written a paper on etc). Basically, you want to practice the act of writing the exam in an exam like setting. How would you answer your Game Theory paper in 60 minutes of writing? By practising this way, you will make the actual exam writing less stressful because you will be coming prepared to kick ass.
Star Trek’s Universal Translator is on its way to be being marketed to the masses. There are huge companies with immense resources working on solving on of the most difficult problem. Also note how the US audience is skeptical of the German lady. London does have amazing Indian cuisine. But you can’t translator away prejudice.

Here is a really fun print-able cut out of Big Ben that kids will love as well as creative people of all ages. It’s a compact version but with a colour ink or jet printer at the highest quality, an A4 sized piece of paper, some scotch tape and scissors you can be the proud owner of a model of Big Ben. Big Ben is certainly a symbol of London, Britain and maybe democracy as well. And it’s really easy to make!!
OR print the following out.

After some playing around, patience and about 15 minutes of time, you’ll have built your very own Big Ben. It’s pretty much all you will need. The final product should look something like the following:
Most of the value is in the cheese, the bread and the accompanying tomato soup. Mmm, that all tastes toooooo good. And when customers taste the food, they think “that was a great sandwich” and very rarely think “some Chef made that.” We rarely see the Chef to begin with. The quality of the ingredients is essential. It’s the reason Italian food is so good when, surprise, you actually go to Italy. The Chef is still important however.
Strange Metaphor
Just like a good grilled cheese sandwich, you need great employees to help create awesome products. However, the cheese is not going to convince the bread to get into the frying pan together. You need that Chef. The Chefs are the management. What frustrates workers is that they are the ones that produce the quality outcome as the cheese the bread and tomato soup. It doesn’t seem fair and it probably isn’t that the cheese and bread don’t get the credit for the amazing meal. The chefs do. From Steve Jobs to George Lucas to Richard Branson, the chefs get a the bulk of the credit and the value from orchestrating the meal that is any business. They just sit in the kitchen while customers eat the cheese and bread and tomato soup that are the true value of the transaction. This is why social democratic values will always live on. It doesn’t seem fair that the cheese that makes the sandwich awesome gets paid less than the chef. It’s really hard to see whether the Chef made the meal awesome or the ingredients themselves are where the value lies…..
The difference in business (if there is one: sarcasm) is that sometimes the cheese is smarter than the Chef. But if the chef doesn’t listen and just wants the cheese to stay flavourful, then management misses out on something awesome. In fact, recognising when someone who is not a manager is way smarter than the managers can lead to the opposite effect which is that the Chef replaces that cheese. I think I’ve taken this metaphor too far….
