Top Ten Tips for Exam Success

1. Find your own deep and compelling reason to successfully learn your subject and pass your exams. 2. Plan your time to include study, revision and social commitments - a balance of having fun, taking breaks and studying is vital. 3. Use multi-coloured Mind Maps® for your notes. 4. Review your notes regularly to reinforce your new-found knowledge. 5. Swiftly skim through your text books and course material before you read them in depth to give you an overview of your subject. 6. Learn how to remember lists of things by linking each item to a location on a journey or route you are familiar with around your town. You could even use your own home. 7. Before you do any revision, warm up by doing some gentle exercise to relieve any tension in your body and to get a rush of healthy oxygen flowing to your brain. 8. Do past papers under thorough exam conditions as often as possible to familiarise yourself with the format and the pressures of working under exam conditions. 9

A cellphone that runs on Coca-Cola. Incredible!

A cellphone that runs on Coca-Cola. Incredible!    Designer  Daizi Zheng  brings us an interesting concept: a Nokia phone that runs on Coca-Cola. Yes, you read right. It may sound incredible, but it seems this eco-friendly cellphone model really works. The designer has called it  Nokia green phone  and it works generating electricity through carbohydrates such as the sugar contained in this and other similar drinks. It does not pollute because the end-product of the process is water and oxygen. And to top it all off, Daizi herself assures us that this completely biodegradable battery can last up to 3 and 4 times the normal life of lithium batteries.  Credits :  http://bit.ly/RrUc1j
