Stumbling around…

To je isto ovdje.
It’s the same here. 

Pretpostavljam da je isto u većini mjesta. 

Sveučilišta imaju nekoliko zgrada.

Ponekad ovi zgrade su raspršena na mnogim mjestima.

Na primjer, “Stockholms Universitet” je koncentriran u jedan geografski centar.
Većina fakulteta i zgrade su blizu jedna drugoj.

U manjim gradovima sveučilišta samo osnovi sastoji od jedne ili dvije zgrade.

KTH (the Royal Institute of Technology), međutim, ima jedan centar ustanova, a drugi udaljenog gotovo jedan sat vlakom.

KTH however, has one central institution, and another one almost one hour away by train.

—
It’s the same here. And in most places I presume. Schools have several buildings. Sometimes these buildings are scattered at many locations. Stockholm University is quite concentrated. Most faculties and buildings are close to each other. The smaller towns have universities which are basically comprised of one or two buildings. KTH however, has one central institution, and another one almost one hour away by train.

McDonald’s får designers dröm att blomstra

Ett av de vinnande motiven i McDonald’s stora kaffedesigntävling, som avgjordes tidigt i våras, har nu gått från idé till verklighet som motiv på porslinskoppar tillverkade av Gustavsberg. Nu startar försäljningen av kaffekoppen ”Pelargon” på Sveriges alla McDonald’s-restauranger och Cervera-butiker. Kvinnan bakom motivet på kopparna är den lovande designern Anna Broström.

McDONALD’S EDUCATION SERVICE
[]In 1993, the McDonald’s Education Service was set up to work
    with Education Business Partnerships (EBPS) and to provide a
    resource to schools and communities around our restaurants.

[]The Education Service is working with over 40 EBPS,
    concentrating on the areas of teacher placement, work
    experience, Young Enterprise, curriculum support and school
    governor support.

[]Teacher Placement
    In 1994, McDonald’s worked with the Teacher Placement Service
    to place 95 teachers in restaurants to give them direct
    experience of business.

[]Work Experience
    McDonald’s restaurants are being used as venues for work
    experience for 16 year olds.

[]McDonald’s has a vocational work experience programme linked
    to National Vocational Qualifications (NVQs).

[]Young Enterprise
    Over 80 McDonald’s managers are working with Young
    Enterprise to develop business awareness in 16 to 18 year old
    pupils.

[]National Curriculum Support
    The support of educational projects of benefit to children form a
    major element of McDonald’s programme of community activity.

[]In 1994 McDonald’s invested over £340,000 in educational
    programmes.

[]The Education Centre at the Festival Park in Ebbw Vale is funded
    by McDonald’s. A permanent classroom, staffed by
    educationalists, enables school parties to undertake projects,
    based upon environmental and ecological aspects of the
    Festival Park. Two resource packs linking the park to the National
    Curriculum have been funded by McDonald’s for use by schools
    visiting the park.

[]McDonald’s has sponsored an educational resource pack for the
    Welsh Rugby Football Union which will enable teachers to teach
    rugby skills as part of the PE National Curriculum.

[]In support of the Technology syllabus of the National Curriculum
    McDonald’s has produced a resource pack written by teachers
    for secondary pupils aged 14-16. By the end of 1994, the pack
    had been requested by 4,600 schools.

[]A resource pack on information technology written by teachers
    has been produced for Key Stage 3.

[]A primary activity pack for Key Stage 1 on Economic and
    Industrial Understanding has been developed by teachers
    funded by McDonald’s and Humberside Education Business
    Partnership.

[]School Governors Support
    60 restaurant managers and franchisees are school governors.

[]McDonald’s is sponsoring, with the Times Educational
    Supplement, the School Governors Report to Parents Awards.

[]McDonald’s sponsored five conferences in 1994 run by the
    Institution for School and College Governors to help governors
    manage effectively.

EDUCATION SPONSORSHIP
    In 1994 McDonald’s sponsored an Insight into Industry
    programme in Glasgow involving 32 local secondary schools.

[]At the request of EBPS, McDonald’s ran seminars for teachers in
    1994 on assertiveness, leadership, time management and
    marketing and participated in a seminar on recruitment.

The company doesn’t just assess sales. It also monitors costs and margins and judges how easy a new product is to prepare by a crew that is constantly changing.

Case in point: the McShaker salad.
Introduced in 1999, it came in a large plastic cup designed to fit a car’s cupholder. Problem: Nobody could figure out how to eat a salad while driving. “We were more willy-nilly then,” says Skinner. “The attitude was, we’ll make it and they’ll buy it.”
