Being a diplomat is not easy. It can take years of practice, studying, tuition and most importantly, experience to learn how to manage people so that all parties feel appeased.

All too often a student may feel that not being a native speaker of English is a setback, but this is only a setback if the institution you are interested in does not cater for it.

The rates on foreign currency are not what they were a few years ago – or not for the British anyway! Where the US dollar was worth 2 to the pound in 2008, you would now be lucky to get 1.5! This is bad enough for the average holidaymaker, but with businesses already suffering from other aspects of the recession, foreign trade has taken a serious hit. As the pound plummets, many individuals and businesses are moving abroad to take advantage of the better rates available there.
Being remembered is the most important thing for any band. In some ways, the old adage that there is no such thing as bad press still rings true, and even infamy is better than obscurity for many bands.
