Law and French (LLB)
4 years (full-time) / n/a (part-time) / n/a (distance / e-Learning)
Cardiff Law School is committed to providing an outstanding teaching and learning experience that is underpinned by our excellent research activity. A well resourced centre of excellence, we attract students from all over the world and offer a friendly, supportive and culturally diverse environment in which to study.
Legal practice increasingly takes place on a global stage, and Cardiff's LLB programmes in law and languages aim to produce lawyers not only fully competent in the law of England and Wales, but also fluent in the chosen language and conversant with the general culture, political institutions and legal system of another country. The Law and French programme is taught in collaboration with the School of Modern Languages; it is designed to be challenging and stimulating. You will develop language skills and cultural awareness and build the skills required for a career in law and a wide range of professions.
The Law and French programme enables you to complete the foundation modules constituting the academic stage of training that is necessary to become a solicitor or barrister in England and Wales (known as the 'Qualifying Law Degree'). In addition, we offer a wide selection of optional modules encompassing traditional and contemporary legal subjects and we also offer the opportunity to study law through the medium of Welsh. You will also take compulsory French language modules and language related-option modules in the School of Modern Languages.
The year abroad is the most distinctive feature of the Law and French programme. This is spent in the law faculty of a university in France (Amiens, Nantes, Rennes or Toulouse) during which time you will build upon your linguistic and national legal skills and take full advantage of the benefits of studying in a foreign university environment.
You can get hands-on experience by taking part in one of several pro-bono
schemes and by taking part in other activities such as mooting, negotiating,
public speaking, client interviewing competitions and legal discussion groups,
all of which are designed to increase your confidence, skills and employability.

The LLB Law and French degree offers a fully structured curriculum that matches knowledge and acquisition of skills to each year of study. Our overall objective is to encourage you to become an independent learner, able to undertake and understand new legal challenges and to respond to them effectively.
During your studies, you can expect to utilise a wide range of sources, such as reports of court cases, statutes, policy documents, academic journals and research studies. You will practise and develop legal, intellectual and presentational skills by participating in diverse learning activities, such as solving legal problems, small-group discussions, debates, moots, oral presentations, independent research tasks and written assignments.
You will also enhance your team-working skills. Communication skills are developed in tutorials, where pre-allocated tasks can include individual contributions to group study, for example by summarising a particular judgment or article for the group. Legal studies in general develop the ability to organise facts and ideas in a systematic way, identifying relevant principles and evaluating these in order to formulate advice for a client or a legal argument as appropriate. Writing legal essays develops communication skills and the ability to argue in an objective, reasoned, professional manner, with due regard to authority and acceptable citation methods.
You will be taught through a combination of lectures, tutorials and seminars, amounting to approximately ten to twelve hours a week of formal teaching. This will be supplemented by independent research and study of at least 20-25 hours per week, through which you will acquire more advanced knowledge and understanding. Tutorials provide you with the opportunity to discuss particular legal themes or topics, to consolidate and get feedback on your individual learning and to develop skills in oral presentation; you are expected to engage fully in tutorials. Teaching is organised in modules, split over two semesters (Autumn: 14 weeks, Spring: 17 weeks); in each there are 11 teaching weeks.
Modules are formally assessed by way of examination or coursework or a combination of the two. The format of coursework varies, encompassing standard essays, extended essays, portfolios of work produced across a whole academic year and written solutions to legal problems. Coursework is submitted on designated dates during the academic year and examinations typically take place during the spring examination period.
During the academic year, you will be required to complete formative work which is designed to assist you in achieving the learning outcomes for individual modules and improve your ability to perform well in summative assessment. Formative work might be written or oral and may be submitted formally to a tutor or presented during tutorials or seminars. Preparation for formative work will normally be done during your independent study time. Feedback on formative work is given frequently and in a wide variety of formats and is intended to help you identify strengths and weaknesses in your learning, as well as giving indications of how you might improve your performance in summative assessments. Alternative provision may be made for students with disabilities.
During the year abroad, you will study modules chosen from a range of courses in French private and public law as well as international and European law, for which you will attend both lectures and tutorials and sit the relevant examinations. You will also choose an optional course which is examined by the writing of a dissertation in comparative law. The dissertation is written in French and undertaken under the supervision of a French tutor from the host law faculty. Students who choose to go to Amiens or Nantes can alternatively choose to take a degree in French law (licence) during their year abroad.
All modules within the LLB Law and French programme make extensive use of University's Virtual Learning Environment, Learning Central, on which you can access discussion forums and find course materials including recordings of lectures, links to related materials, multiple-choice tests, past exam papers and examples of student work from previous years.
We provide students with frequent feedback on their work. This comes in an array of formats (including oral tutor feedback during tutorials, personalised feedback on written work, feedback lectures, generic written feedback and feedback on tutorial performance). This feedback is intended to help you reflect on your performance and identify things you can do in order to improve.
The School takes the views of its students seriously and provides many opportunities for students to feedback on their educational experience, helping to shape future developments.
All students are allocated personal tutors in both the Law School and the
School of Modern Languages who will not only
assist with reflection on performance on the course but also advise on study
techniques, module selection and career planning (in conjunction with the
University's Career Service) and provide a first point of contact when difficulties
are experienced. An extensive programme of careers lectures and workshops
is delivered within the School and an in-house Law Careers Consultant is
available. A range of staff are available to provide further support, including
an academic support tutor, a pro-bono scheme co-ordinator and specialist
law librarians. A member of academic staff acts as a designated Disability
and Diversity Officer and ensures that reasonable adjustments are made for
students with disabilities.

We organise a comprehensive careers programme throughout the autumn and spring terms which includes careers workshops, skills sessions, employer presentations and introductions to different legal practice areas such as Insolvency and Clinical Negligence. Recent speakers have included representatives from Allen & Overy, Linklaters, Eversheds, Morgan Cole, Irwin Mitchell, CMS Cameron McKenna, Macfarlanes, Bond Pearce and 4 Kings Bench Walk.
The annual Cardiff Law Fair attracts in the region of 40 legal exhibitors including, in 2011, a range of Magic Circle, City and Regional law firms as well as representatives from barristers' chambers, the Government Legal Service and the Chartered Institute of Legal Executives.
We are committed to extending the extra-curricular opportunities available to our students, helping to enhance their CVs in a competitive graduate job market. We work in partnership with lawyers, charities and voluntary organisations to give students the chance to practise and extend their skills by taking part in a range or pro bono projects. Examples include the Innocence and Continuing Healthcare projects which enable students to work on real cases with real clients whilst also developing their time management and interpersonal skills, organisation, verbal and written communication, tact and sensitivity.
Whether or not you decide to pursue a career in professional law, help is at hand. In addition to the services on offer within the Law School itself, the University's Careers & Employability Service runs a full programme of careers workshops, one to one guidance appointments, employer presentations and fairs which cover a broad spectrum of non law careers.
Students on integrated law programmes can attend careers and employability activities in both schools and all students are welcome to attend events organised by Careers & Employability. Details of upcoming events are available on the Careers website.
Cardiff Law School Pro Bono Unit – Law in the Real World
We are committed to extending extracurricular opportunities to our students, helping to enhance their CVs in a competitive graduate job market. We work in partnership with lawyers, charities and voluntary organisations to give students the opportunity to practise and extend their skills.
Pro Bono is the term that lawyers use for free legal advice. We run several Pro Bono schemes and provide advice to members of the community on different legal issues.
For more information on our pro bono schemes please see our website.
Innocence Project
Cardiff Law School Innocence Project works with long-term prisoners maintaining their innocence of serious crimes such as murder, serious assault and sexual offences. The aim is to prevent miscarriages of justice in which an individual could have been wrongfully convicted.
Students work under the supervision of qualified barristers, investigating the cases and submitting them to the Criminal Cases Review Commission. Cardiff is a very active Innocence Project, and has submitted six cases to the CCRC, one of which has been referred to the Court of Appeal.
Julie Price, head of the Pro Bono Unit, interviews a student about the Innocence Project.
NHS Continuing Healthcare Scheme
Under this scheme, we address the issue of NHS Continuing Health Care funding. This is an increasing problem nationwide which affects a vulnerable section of the community, predominantly those suffering from Alzheimer's Disease and other forms of dementia. Such individuals may find themselves in nursing homes, paying their fees privately, where arguably they are entitled to have the cost of their care met in full by the NHS.
Students are trained in this niche area of law, and are allocated work in 'firms' of six students. They are supervised by legal professionals from Hugh James solicitors in Cardiff, and work involves client interviews, letter writing, and research.
Pamela Coughlan was at the centre of a landmark case in 1999, in which she successfully secured NHS funding for her care.
Welsh Rugby Union Project
Working in partnership with the Welsh Rugby Union, students provide a free legal advice service to Welsh rugby clubs below the Principality Premiership. Legal issues faced by clubs include employment of staff, maintenance of the grounds, health and safety and much more.
The Scheme is supported and underwritten by Hugh James solicitors, and Civitas barristers' chambers. Students also work collaboratively to produce information leaflets covering legal issues that clubs face.
Find out more about WRU scheme.
Cerebra Legal Entitlements Research Project
Students working on this project research the law relating to disabled children and provide advice to families of disabled children facing disputes over their health and social care entitlements.
The research project was set up in conjunction with international children's charity Cerebra, who refer cases to the project. Students are supervised by law school staff and the work is underwritten by practising solicitors.
One of our students talks about her experience of the Cerebra scheme.
Hafal Appropriate Adult Scheme
Hafal is Wales' leading mental health charity, and they train students to work as 'Appropriate Adults', to support vulnerable adults being interviewed at a police station having been arrested. Once trained, students volunteer to be on a rota to be called into police stations across South Wales.
The Personal Support Unit
The Personal Support Unit (PSU) supports litigants in person, witnesses, victims, their family members and supporters. It provides free, confidential, independent, non-legal support to clients, to help them through the court process. The PSU trains students to assist litigants at the Civil Justice Centre in Cardiff.

My diabetic cat has to have Low Carbs
By Casey's Mommy
from East Meadow, NY
Lowest carb dry food available...great for diabetic cats that are dry food junkies (9 grams carbs)
Quality is worth the money
By Flash's Mom
from Detroit, MI
I wanted something very good quality for my senior cat. He likes the taste of it and I feel good knowing that I'm giving him a really good grain free cat food.
gret treats
By Lisa
from NY,NY
My cats devour these and I know they are good for them
Grace the Cat loves it
By Ben123
from Vermont
It's a little expensive but she is satisfied with less so it is probably all equal anyway. She is pre-diabetic and this seems to help her to not pee as much therefore healthier and less box changes.
Great Food
By Birdman
from Burgaw, N.C.
I like the food because it is high in protien which cats need especially if they are diabetic.
Great food
By sirkokobean
from Gray Court, SC
mix it in my ferrets food and they love and are very healthy

En español l If you're one of the 50 million Americans who have Medicare, you may be worried about changes under the Affordable Care Act (ACA). AARP has heard from many older people with questions in the wake of the health care law's troubled rollout.
The first thing to know is that the law has language protecting guaranteed benefits: "Nothing in this act shall result in a reduction of guaranteed benefits" under Medicare. Even the well-publicized problems with the Obamacare website won't affect Medicare users, who will continue to use medicare.gov as their online portal. And the ACA adds new Medicare benefits at no additional cost to the beneficiaries.
"The good news for Medicare recipients is new protections and benefits in the health law that strengthen Medicare and give more coverage," says Nancy LeaMond, executive vice president of AARP's state and national group.
The law shifts Medicare's focus to keeping older people healthy. Thus, it provides an annual wellness visit as well as preventive screenings — such as for diabetes and certain cancers — without charge. And it gradually closes the "doughnut hole" — the gap in Part D prescription drug coverage. Supporters say that over time the law will improve hospital care for Medicare beneficiaries by rewarding hospitals that perform best.
But critics have raised concerns about the hundreds of millions of dollars in reduced Medicare spending that will help fund the ACA. They say fewer doctors and hospitals will be available for Medicare users, resulting in a reduced level of care. What is the truth? At this point, there is little evidence, but many opinions. To help you navigate the new Medicare landscape, we've put together a Q-and-A based on your questions, with answers from top experts.
I've read that the Affordable Care Act cut Medicare by $716 billion. Where are the cuts being made?
The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimated that Medicare spending would be reduced by $716 billion over 10 years, mainly because the law puts the brakes on annual increases in Medicare reimbursement for Medicare Advantage, hospital costs, home health services, hospices and skilled nursing services. Hospitals have to absorb most of the reductions, about $260 billion over 10 years. Medicare Advantage will receive about $156 billion less.
Other cuts include $66 billion less for home health, $39 billion less for skilled nursing services and $17 billion less for hospice care — all by 2022.
Medicare costs will still grow, just more slowly than they would without the ACA. But some experts predict that beneficiaries will feel the impact. "The notion that you can take $700 billion out of Medicare reimbursements and not think you will see some impact over time is ridiculous," says economist Gail Wilensky, who directed Medicare and Medicaid in the George H.W. Bush administration and is a senior fellow with Project HOPE, an international health foundation.
But Henry J. Aaron of the Brookings Institution, a liberal think tank, insists that "the ACA is unalloyed good news" for Medicare beneficiaries because it improves the financial health of Medicare Part A, the hospital insurance program.

INDIANAPOLIS – Lamar resident Daniel A. Smith, 28, pled guilty December 14 in Spencer County Circuit Court in Rockport to unemployment insurance fraud, a Class D Felony. Smith purposefully defrauded the system by collecting unemployment insurance benefits while working full-time.
The investigation began when an Indiana Department of Workforce Development (DWD) employee confirmed Smith was working and receiving wages while claiming unemployment insurance benefits. Using agency records and information from Smith's employer, DWD investigated and was able to verify he worked while claiming unemployment insurance benefits.
"Individuals who receive unemployment benefits while working full-time are knowingly breaking the law, and will be held accountable," said Scott B. Sanders, Commissioner of the Indiana Department of Workforce Development. "Unemployment benefits are for those who are truly in need."
Smith was ordered to pay $325 a month to DWD for the benefits he collected. He was also sentenced to a year and a half of probation, but will serve the time in prison if he violates the terms of his plea agreement.
DWD receives wage reports and new hire data from Hoosier employers documenting who is employed and receiving compensation. The agency uses this information to ensure people are not collecting unemployment insurance benefits while working.
You can also help combat unemployment insurance fraud and abuse by reporting it online at www.in.gov/dwd/fraud. Your efforts will help ensure tax dollars are spent wisely and unemployment insurance benefits are only paid to people who are eligible to receive them. You do not need to provide your name or any other identifying information in order to file a complaint in regards to unemployment insurance fraud.

Alternative treatments for gout help avoid the effects of allopurinol. And the effects associated with other medications for gout relief.
One of the keys to controlling your pain level is eating properly. Gout pain is the direct result of excess uric acid in your body. Uric acid comes form purines found in the food we eat. When high purine foods are consumed a large amount of uric acid is produced. Thus, by eating low purine foods we are helping keep our bodies in balance.

Do you really think school kills creativity ..???
Everyone always wants to say that, but I think creativity rests within the person. School doesn't make up all of a child's day, so whether they want to expand they're creativity is solely up to them. In most schools, art Is a mandatory class. So to blame the schools for a lack of creativity is more of a way to push of the responsibility of generations of people who weren't interested in helping themselves and they're children become more creative.
Gaurav Kumar
Oct 14 2013: Creativity is something that can not be killed by any institute and any other thing if someone is interested in something. On contrary if you are getting education in good school then it will draw out really good thing from your insid.

Yohanes Tan
Oct 14 2013: I think it's too harsh to say that "school kills creativity".
- +2
In some way, there are some learning methods in school that could kills creativity in their student. For example : The image that teacher always right, and if a student has a different view from the teacher, the student is wrong.
But it didn't literally kills creativity. It is up to the students whether they decide to practice it in their daily life or not.Oct 4 2013: I think,
of what most kills creativity, is the mechanics concepts of the binary answers, the "yes or no".
You are wrong or right, correct or incorrect, better or worst.
In a example:
In a need to know if the children is learning, the schools makes questions
to the students to see if they hold that knowledge.
It reveals the students who learned more.
Of course, when you are correct,
you are better than the other who answered it wrong.
Well, is that really obviously?
The way that each one learn is a little different to the others, maybe much different in some cases.
The concept that the correct answer is better, is the real deal.
It could be, or could not. And why not the two things at the same time?
(Imagine a school)
if I had make a question of "What color is the sun?"
This class(with 3 kids) is teaching 3 colors this day; blue, yellow and green.
The answers was:
Bryan: "Yellow"
John: "Green-Green"
Robin: "I dunno."
Should be easy to us make the judgment that just Bryan got it right. Right?
Surprises...Robin remember a remarcable trip with her dad,
they saw a beatiful sunset and the sun was red(diferent from the yellow).
And Jonh?
Green is kind a strange, most of the teachers(also you and me) would say he's wrong and that is it.
Think if Jonh is daltonic? Still makes no sense, because daltonic only confuses red with green.
Neither that do not explain "green-green", but Jhon uses to play with his father's oil ink and he remember
the orange color made by using red + green, and he thinks the sun is orange.
Who knows? Who is better?
Who is more creativity?
This short story i've made is to explain that, the creativity is there, and we can
kill it in the moment we create the ideia of someone as he has to be, not what he is.
It do not happens just in schools.
Each one of us is a lot creativity, in different ways.
What happens is that we forget it when we start the concept of better.
There is no better, just different.
Oct 8 2013: Great point.
School, like everything in the past decades had been suffer from the contamination of the industry era and the needing for production scale up. Like everything, schools and even universities had turned out to be a knowledge factory, and like every factory they were concerned about the production.
In this way, schools were tracing their way to improve the quantity of the students they can support. In a time when mostly people didn't had even the choice to study or not, it was quite reasonable. But now, it is not.
What you see in the old ages can be the opposition of that. Teachers were called mentors, and they usually have a few or just one student. Otherwise, only a few people had this choice in their options, maybe only the royalty or something like that. When the teaching starts to follow up another rules where everybody could (or should) have the opportunity to study, things became to change. The professor that could do well with his pupil, now have to teach for a class with, sometimes, a hundred or more students. See how this is really similar about the industry revolution and how the handcraft turned into the standard industrial craft?
Actually, what happened is quite the same about the production model and the teaching model. Students that were handcraft, now are crafted into lots with a standardization.
What today schools really kill is the unique and personal creativity of the individual. Now, they produce creativity in lots too.
Exploring the diversity of life is a key-factor that we were missing for a long time, but now humanity is back to this subject. And it's not about the diversity of species, ecosystems and so on. It's mostly about the diversity of the human being itself and how we challenge life.
But things are gonna change soon. We just need more believers and change-makers to put the plan into work. Actually, we already now that something is wrong. This need to be just the start of something great.
Mark Laing
Sep 22 2013: I think the risk is that often students do not see the bigger picture and contain themselves in an educational box where the goal is to get an A or later to get a job. Universities still are trying to train students how to think not what to think. Even in the face of a professor's lecture which is presented in a "This is the only way to think," one stays stuck in the box only if they accept that they must accept only that person's ideas. This is not about blaming some side on this issue. Some students get it and use what they learn in application while others learn in an effort of replication.
- +2
We go to school to learn what other people who thought outside the box came up with so that one day students will learn how I applied what I learned to come up with something new, smarter, more valuable to the world. Some shrink away from this opportunity and their creativity isn't killed it is (in their belief) not required. Of course there may be some truth in these cases, "Use it or lose it."
Sep 23 2013: I agree with your statement that universities often train students "what to think". I have worked at a university which, in course papers preparing first year students for a biology exam, ridiculed those who held a differing opinion to that being taught as fact in the papers. It would have taken a brave youngster to have spoken out against the tide, and it wouldn't have been one who had only the educational curriculum as a teacher. He or she would most likely fail to pass the paper under such conditions. I listened to the TED talk by the young man with Aspergers who this question seems to be related to, and what he said about the reasons why men such as Einstein formulated their theories makes a great deal of sense. They were forced to stop learning and were able to think.

Sep 22 2013: Yes. A friend of mine learned by itself a better way to solve math at high school, and in a test the teacher gave him an F because he didn't use what he learned in class to solve the test.
Too bad for high schoolers. :(
Luckily in the university teachers appreciate if one is more intelligent or capable than the norm. ;D
Kua Keys
Sep 22 2013: I wouldn't say school kills creativity--but from my experience--it doesn't 'encourage' it. I have so many examples--I helped out at a daycare facility through college--kids were coloring pictures and a girl colored her sky pink. The teacher told her that was the wrong color. She looked crestfallen. I said that I'd seen pick skies, and purple, and orange. But the power of the teacher was great and the little girl picked up the blue crayon.
- +2
I went to 18 different schools by the time I graduated high school, so I became really good at being the new girl. And my grades suffered, especially math. Only thing I was good at was English. I was a fair artist and drew pictures with my reports. My classmates and I thought it was funny that I usually got a C on picture report with my name on it--yet, when I drew for their reports--they got A's and B's.
I wrote feelings down since I was was 8 years old...later realizing they were poems. In high school I wrote a poem and my teacher refused to believe it was mine. She kept asking me who wrote it.
In college I was so busy cramming facts in--and regurgitating them out--that I had little time to be creative--and it takes time. Later I worked for the University of Maryland overseas and took an art history class and we toured Cambridge. In St. John's college in Cambridge--there was a tree in the back that was supposed to be a relative of the apple tree Newton sat under while discovering gravity. You see, in the United Kingdom, time to contemplate is scheduled into their curriculum--I doubt Newton would have discovered gravity in the USA.
None of this killed my creativity--but it made me doubt it. Doubt me--and made me very self-conscious about showing my work to anyone. Other than reports, I didn't show my writing to anyone until 20 years later. Now I'm published, and wonder if it might have happened sooner--if my creativity had been celebrated, championed, and encouraged.
Sep 22 2013: I think it's entirely dependent on the teachers you end up with; luck of the draw unfortunately.
P.s. Did you ever watch the Simpsons episode where Bart brings a snowflake into school for 'show and tell'? His conclusion was that this completely unique and fascinating crystal, becomes a boring droplet of water just like any other when you bring it into the classroom.Sep 22 2013: No.
I agree with you, schools in general and education in general does not kill creativity.
However, there are some solid arguments that being led in one direction for learning prevents a level of self-educating through personal discovery, and looking at things differently than how they are being taught in school. In public educations, there is some resource balancing and time management balancing done to get the best effect for all students. Ideally, there would be more tailoring of education to permit individual discovery, research, and answering the questions they want answered.
There are other players in education that can add more creativity. Parents enriching a child's overall educational experience with supplemental experiences and training opportunities. The child can take the initiative and learn on their own the things they want to learn. They can also learn form each other, and pretty much all they observe. So creativity, might be reduced by some facets of the current education process, but overall what is being done has evolved as the best blend of material, methods, resources and opportunities for the next generation. Creativity is just one of the trade-offs.
Perhaps professional educators will continue to study the mew ideas, methods, and technologies and continue to evolve the education provided children into a continuously improving product.
Sep 22 2013: Public school does. Public schools are where sheeple are trained to think alike, look alike and act alike.
Sep 22 2013: I am guessing you do not/did not go to public school, then?Oct 21 2013: I believe that this world that we live in can be very confusing. We are all different. Teacher can see this in our beggining years and they teach all as one and teach us what they think we need to be taught. At one time we were all untaught and ignorant. We had nobody to teach us. This world we have created we created wth ignorance and built up ideals to fite our needs. And the teach us there knowledge. They dont teach us to make up our using our technichs, They teach us theres. WE need to form our own opinions based on our own intellect
Shahzad Alam
Oct 18 2013: What is needed is a pedagogy that promotes creativity, innovation and problem solving in our schools. Right now our education system focuses on producing "machine parts" that will easily fit into the "machine" (structures of the society). Our education system teaches us about the world like it were a well oiled machine that is running perfectly and we just need to know the facts about it so that we can easily fit in. It doesn't make us thinkers who will innovate new technology and ways of doing things that will make this world a better place. This is of course an overgeneralization but I don't think I am very far off. Those who have taken the ownership of their own education have prospered in this system (as they would in any system) but the majority of the students suffer the consequences.Oct 15 2013: There are some great videos from Sir Ken Robinson, in which he speaks on this issue. Take a look at them and maybe his talks will lead you in the direction in which you want to go.

Oct 8 2013: Think it depends upon the teacher and the principal. Good teachers allow the child to grow and express themselves. I have seen teachers berate and humiliate a student in front of a class, this can be especially a problem during middle school where the influence of the peer group is growing. It might take years for the parents and other teachers to get the student to open up and try again. sometime it is never.Sep 25 2013: It varies on school to school and child to child... if school has its oven framework to suppress the curiosity of children then it will kill the creativity of kids for sure! if school is like this life (experience it to learn it) then its not ! But you'll be agree that many kids learn when taught in a way (within framework).
- +1
Schools are to help children's creativity but since all children in a class have to follow the same rule (framework), it is fail to give a 100% result in terms of helping their creativity...
In my opinion, school must be there to help children. I am not against schooling ,, but every after 3 years, a kid must be examine by experts to help him/her to choose a new school according to ability to creativity. :)
Lejan .
Sep 24 2013: School definitely kills curiosity in many children, as it imposes on them a framework to have to learn things they happen not to be currently interested in. This framework extends school hours and therefore influences the overall development of our children's curiosity.
- +1
And as curiosity is key to creativity, school does damage it as well.
Neither curiosity nor creativity can be taught, yet both depend on an encouraging an stimulating environment for them to strive. If half of the day keeps numbing this nurturing environment, the second half may not be enough to make up for this damage.
Don Anderson
Sep 23 2013: Yes! Industry-age schools have been proven to kill creativity.

Personally as a recovering victim of US public education, I feel all teachers should be place on trial for high crimes against humanity.

Sep 22 2013: Generally many teachers follow the lecture, homework, test with a minimum of dialog and questioning. Creativity occurs when students think, question and discuss. Think the educational system is designed to force students to give standard answers - Hence limiting creativity.
- +1
Let me say something off topic I have seen a teacher berate/shame a student so much that she crawled into a corner and never said anything in class again. She begged her parents to never send her back to school. I am sure we have all heard stories like this, some less, some worse. I know some will say this is a rare occurrence but how much is one student's self worth, love of learning worth. One occurrence is too much.Sep 22 2013: Actually that depends on the type of school that u study at and teaches as well. If you want to have a good education you must study in a private school but that will cost me a fortune. Even if you study at a public school, some teachers are really great. Teachers could inspire their students and instill in them confidence and creativity. It depends on the school and the teachers.
Talha Naeem
Sep 22 2013: Candidly speaking, it really doesn't depend on school or teachers, rather I believe that it depends upon the individual itself. If the individual has the craze to be creative, then he is going to innovate even from the cracks in the structure.
- +1
I agree to the last part with a little amendment and that is: though individuals vary in different aspects but this difference itself fulfills the purpose of being running behind the same aim. They are different and yet this difference makes them similar. So, for a fraction of second, the generalized question like this is of little use but for the other half of the second, this generalized question can be used to draw out fruitful conclusions.

Sep 22 2013: That really depends on the school, the teachers, the patents, and on the individual.
That question is often legitimate, and often an excuse for wanting to diddle around, rather thjan to try to learn how to live within a society.
Humans vary so much as individuals, societies, and in time, that a generalized question like this is of little use.Oct 18 2013: I think it depends on diffferent systems of education.At my school,sometimes teachers give us conclusions before we do any experiments.That is too bad.Sep 30 2013: What if instead the center of our cities around the world was places where we traded ideas and experience? Giant work halls of education! Others of celebration! Festivals Music, Art..science Sharing ... and so on
Now our cities are based around places to spend money, Our schools are created around this concept, That we will become consumers. We learn very little in schools compared to our true potential
I think the way we have schools now should end and instead we will create great halls of innovation, if someone is curious about learning how to make a robot, she goes to this place, and if someone wants to learn math he goes to that place. And he will be able to chose a teacher that shows him how it is best way for him to be taught
I dont think it is as simple as schools kills creativity, our parents , our cultures, our schools, our religions and our media and so on, the world around children does somehow force a halt of imagenation and freedom, thus creativity.
Sep 30 2013: Many cities do embrace the idea of a central place to trade ideas and share experiences, with cultural events at the center of it.Sep 22 2013: "Our appalling education system does very little to encourage children to develop their own opinions - but, conversely, does a great deal of brainwashing to convince them to keep quiet about any opinions they do have, save those mantras of political-correctness they have been bullied into submitting to."
So the answer is; Yes, it frequently does! Schools spend far too much time telling young people what thoughts are 'unacceptable' and 'inappropriate.' They judge children according to how well they conform to what is expected of them. It's a disgrace!

Karaoke Party TONIGHT!July 9, 2013
Good karaoke game?March 5, 2009
If you know me, you know I like to sing. So it should come as no surprise that I was totally stoked when I happened upon the PS2 game "Karaoke Revolution presents: American Idol Encore" at the Fairmount library tonight. It comes with the microphone when you check it out, so I didn't need to worry about about special equipment (I totally wanna play Guitar Hero Aerosmith — which they've also got at the library — but I'm too cheap to pony up the bucks for a guitar!) Microphone in hand, I was ready to sing my little heart out.
When I got home from the library, I eagerly pulled everything out the box — game, instructions and microphone (which mercifully has a nice long cord). I popped the game into my system, and hunkered down to the business of American Idol Encore. I picked a character, a song and a venue and in no time I was singing to a crowd. I was fairly well jazzed about how simple it was to get started.
It didn't take long, however, to realize that the song list was fantastically limited. I have to admit here that this is the first "singing" PS2 game I've ever played with. I've sang along in Rock Band, but that's my only other video-game-singing experience. Maybe they all suck. But when I could only find four songs that I really wanted to sing, I was a little annoyed.
I hope something out there provides more options — there were loads of songs that I like and that I know the words to, but few that are even reasonably close to my range. I was stuck with "Come Sail Away," "It's Still Rock and Roll to Me," "Satisfaction," and "Tainted Love." I was amused for about a half and hour, but ultimately left the game feeling disappointed.
So a question to you singing gamers out there — is there a great karaoke game for the PS2?

I'm welding a four inch solid shaft from an 18-wheeler hub to a half inch mild steel plate. There is a hole in the plate, and it's a butt weld around. This thing lasts about two months before the cracks are visible again. It keeps breaking at the interface with the steel plate. I'm welding it with 7018, preheating it to death, etc. My vote is that the geometry of the joint is causing the cracks to start as soon as the material starts to cool and has no place to loose tension. It's obviously not lamilinear tearing because the stress is in the direction of the grain in the plate. Anyway, is there any good info on contrained joints on the net? I know pipe flanges are welded all the time all day long without cracking, and its a very similar joint. Any ideas?

I can't figure out how to upload a picture, so I'll do my best. Take a piece of plate and lay it on a table. Cut a four inch hole in the middle and remove insert. Lay a shaft inside the hole and butt weld the back side. The design of the part makes it impossible to access the back for a fillet weld. Basically, the part makes a T and I'm welding the top of the T with the saft being the vertical part of the T.
i guess ur usin 7018 1/8 rod? what amp setting? im not shure i know of any info for that but ill look on the net.welding...its awsome
Are you beveling the end of the shaft?
What is the shaft made of?
What is the function of this?
Below is me procedure for situations like you find your self. This only applies for non life safety situations.
If the weld or joint fails and people could get hurt, then you are on your own.
I would bevel the heck out of the shaft, deep enough so that I could do several passes up to five no less than 3. I would remove any existing weld. I would preheat the shaft and plate after tacking. I would place welding blankets around the weldment so that cooling would take as long as possible.
I would use 8018 or 10018, or I would use something with nickel in it. Coreshield 8 if I were running wire.
Please let me know the answers to the above questions as thet could change my answers a lot.TJ______________________________________

More data! I finally made contact with the manufacturer. The shaft is 4041 surface hardened to I don't remember what. It's a spindle off of an 18-wheeler. The plate is plain old A36. They sent me a detailed weld procedure that didn't detail filler (figures). Anyway, you nailed it, they said the cooling phase was absolutely critical and that we needed to sandbag it or any other means to prolong cooling. I actually welded it last with 3/16 7018 around 220 amps. The procedure said small beads and not too much heat was better, but I'm still not sure of the recommended filler.
Which brings me to a long-time question of mine. What is more critical when welding dissimilar metals together? Chemical or physical properties, or a combination. I know the higher alloy rods are more brittle, but are closer in chemical makeup to the higher alloy steels. However, 7018 is about ductile as it gets and makes forgiving welds much of the time in the proper hands. I come across this a lot like the shaft problem, or welding AR plates and sheets over mild steel frames. Thanks for all the help!
I weld similar stuff all the time, usually 4140 or 4340 to mild steel (A36 / 44W). The machinist at work has always had me preheat the shaft around 325F and do the weld with 8018 C3, or a 80ksi rod with good elongation properties. Medium carbon steel or low alloy steel electrodes work as well. We don't have a sand box, but I wrap the parts in a fire blanket to cool slowly, usually takes overnight to cool. In my application the parts I'm making are usually transmission adapters for dyno testing large equipment trannys. Lots of torque loading and vibration, never had one crack or break yet. Sounds like you're on the right track.
I hope this helpsJonny

As to filler I would be looking for something with a Charpy Impact Test # of 20ftlbs at -20F. This is good rod for stable elongation at a wide temperature range.
The reason for the small beads and lots of them is to build a lot of heat in the part and the slow cooling allows the slow release of the built up stress.
I would do this only when I had the time to weld straight through to cap.
Good luck

Lake Huron Binational Partnership 2008-2010 Action Plan
The Lake Huron Binational Partnership effort focuses on
pollution reduction activities in areas of obvious importance, such
as Areas of Concern (AOCs), and directly pursues on-the-ground
activities to protect areas of high-quality habitat within the Lake
Huron basin. Existing stakeholder and agency forums
are used as much as possible to support the goals of the
Partnership. The Partnership maintains a close association with the
Remedial Action Plan efforts in AOCs, the Great Lakes Fishery
Commission's Lake Huron and Lake Huron Technical Committees, the
State of the Lakes Ecosystem Conference (SOLEC), and domestic
efforts that support the Partnership.
This 2008-2010 Action Plan provides updated information on environmental trends, identifies priority issues, and promotes management activities to be pursued over the next two-year cycle. Consistent with an adaptive management approach, the Action Plan tracks progress on issues identified in the previous cycle, including contaminants in fish, changes in food web structure and protection of critical habitat, and has been expanded to address emerging issues, such as observed increases in nearshore algae and diseases such as botulism and viral hemorrhaghic septicemia (VHS)

We've all seen home tours online and in glossies where people show off impossibly stylish furniture bought off Craigslist for next to nothing. "Oh, this old thing? I got it on Craigslist." Sounds so easy, right? But then, you try it yourself, and end up scrolling through hundreds of postings for dinged Crate & Barrel tables and IKEA cast-offs, with nary a cool vintage piece in sight.
Enter web-shopping savant Ellen Richardson, who has an incredible knack for finding the DMV's coolest furniture, from brass bar carts and teak tables to glamorous lamps and vintage skateboards — all ripe for the picking on Craigslist. Luckily for us, Richardson shares the wealth on her blog, Listed District, where she publishes the listings for the best secondhand scores in the Washington area.

It's been more than two years since THAT incident, but Adrian Sutil and Lewis Hamilton's friendship remains frosty...
It's been more than two years since THAT incident, but Adrian Sutil and Lewis Hamilton's friendship remains frosty.
The duo were best friends until Sutil was involved in a nightclub incident after the Chinese Grand Prix in 2009. He was forced to stand trial and Hamilton was asked to testify.
The Briton decided not to take the stand and Sutil called him a "coward" and said he no longer regarded him as a friend.
Asked about their friendship during Thursday's FIA press conference in Monaco, Hamilton said: "Things are definitely different.
"We've spoken a couple of times, and we plan to get together at some stage, just have a chat basically. We've been great friends for a long, long time and had some of the best times together along the way, especially in Formula Three.
"You can generally only count your good friends on one hand, some people say, as good friends are hard to come by," added the Briton. "I want to make sure we get things right".
Sutil, who was handed a suspended sentence for the incident and was forced to spend last season out of F1, was also a little uncomfortable when he talked about their friendship.
"As Lewis said, yes, it's different. I'm still waiting for a coming together, and I can't say anything more," he said looking straight ahead of him.

A crucial part of your controls, stems come in many different lengths and rises which affect your riding position. These days, most stems work with threadless headsets – meaning they clamp straight on to the fork's steerer tube and cannot be adjusted for height – though some still use the 'quill' method, allowing more adjustability, but with a weight penalty. Think about what you want, and bear in mind that a shorter stem means quicker steering, but a less efficient and aerodynamic position.

Obama says he's going to give 49 million people who do not now have it health insurance and the nation's bill for health care will go down. If you believe that, stop reading. You're too dumb to comprehend the rest of this.
One way Obama says he is going to cut costs is to emphasize preventive medicine. Well that makes sense, doesn't it? After all, we all know that a stitch in time saves nine.
Actually, it does not make sense if you think it through.
Charles Krauthammer is a conservative newspaper columnist and regular Fox News contributor. He's also a licensed medical doctor and psychiatrist. He's great. I just added him to my living national treasures list. He should have been there before.
When asked about preventive medicine on Fox News, Krauthammer said it was a good thing for a number of reasons but lower cost was most definitely not one of them.
I researched and wrote about preventive medicine in the second edition of my book Succeeding which came out in 2008. It relates to that book because being healthy helps you succeed and enables you to enjoy your success.
As far as cost is concerned, preventive medicine does not cost less. It costs more.
1. Preventive medicine costs more money to pay for additional medicine, exams, tests, vaccinations, health club membership, and safety devices.
2. Preventive medicine causes people to live longer which costs more because they receive more medical care, not to mention Social Security benefits, during their longer lives.
3. Living longer means you are more likely to die of a degenerative disease that requires prolonged intensive health care and hospitalization.
The cheapest health care for the government would be if everyone died suddenly of a heart attack after they stop earning taxable wages but before they started colleting Social Security. Like I said in the title, "You've had a good life, now drop dead."
In Succeeding, I listed six categories of preventive medicine:
1. good health habits including:
• diet quality
• diet quantity
• exercise
• hygiene
2. regular physicals
3. getting recommended tests for detection of symptomless illnesses
4. recommended vaccinations
5. safer activities and places where you spend time
6. promptly getting professional advice when you have symptoms
Obama sets the diet quality and quantity example with his consumption of arugula from Whole Foods and his Somali warlord physique. But he smokes cigarettes. Sound preventive medicine would ban tobacco products. If not, the people who use them should not be eligible for health insurance that I contribute money to. Call use of tobacco a pre-existing condition—stupidity—that either excludes the user from all public health care or at least from health care that relates to tobacco use.
Same thing applies to fat people and alcoholics or problem drinkers and illegal drug users.
Obama may set an example with regard to exercise. We occasionally see him playing pick-up basketball. But he needs to work out more systematically every other day—both cardio and weight training. Maybe he could lead an exercise TV program daily like the Richard Simmons in Chief.
As far as hygiene is concerned, we're gonna need daily inspections.
Basically, since good health habits are the main thing in preventive medicine, Obama is going to have to enact a law that requires universal daily attendance at a weigh-in, inspection of your personal hygiene, a drug test, and calisthenics. Let's call it reveille. There's even music for it. It sounds like this. He can bring all sorts of R. Lee Ermey types out of retirement to supervise it.
Persons who benefit from universal health care but who are AWOL from daily reveille will have a warrant issued for their arrest.
Overweight persons will be required to report to a fat boot camp where their food intake will be restricted and they will be required to exercise.
These steps will cost more money than the current heath care system.
Mandatory universal health care that emphasizes preventive medicine require mandatory physicals that are at least annual or more often for persons with certain risk factors. If you do not attend your scheduled physicals, a warrant will be issued for your arrest.
Similarly, according to your age and other risk factors, you will be required to get the tests recommended by the medical profession including sigmoidoscopies and breast exams. If you do not appear for your scheduled tests, a warrant will be issued for your arrest.
Ditto. You will get your flu shots, DPT, etc. No exceptions. These shots will kill some of you but not getting them will kill more of you. You've had a good life.
All hazardous activities will be outlawed, like riding motorcycles. All places frequented by humans like homes, workplaces, and public areas will be inspected periodically for safety hazards. If you have a safety hazard and do not correct it promptly, a warrant will be issued for your arrest.
Since dental care is part of your health and affects all of your health, daily brushing and flossing will be required and inspected for at reveille. Also, regular checkups will be mandatory and recommended dental therapies must be performed when recommended by your dentist. If you fail to take care of your teeth, a warrant will be issued for your arrest.
All of the above will cost more than the current health care system.
The more tests you perform, the more false positive and false negative results you get. I lost half my thyroid gland to a false alarm benign lump that was discovered during my annual physical. False negatives cause you to ignore continuing symptoms that warrant a second or third opinion. In short, federally mandated mandatory preventive medicine will cause far more false test results and those, in turn, will waste more money.
Preventive maintenance is usually wise because a stitch in time saves nine. One is cheaper than nine.
But preventive maintenance is not wise in some cases because sometimes the stitch only saves one or a half a stitch. You have to do a cost-benefit analysis and be careful not to cross the point of diminishing returns.
From a strict dollar standpoint, much health care given to older persons is not cost effective given their likely remaining life span. Other countries that have universal health care deny much of the health care given in the U.S. to seniors. Preventive medicine increases the percentage of people who live to become seniors.
The stitch-in-time advice does not apply to many health-care decisions. For example, preventive medicine can prevent or delay heart attacks. But everyone has to die of something. Preventive medicine that prevents heart attacks will almost certainly result in the person in question dying of a far more expensive disease, like cancer or Alzheimers, not to mention all the health care costs they will trigger for other things during their expanded-by-preventive-medicine life span.
Preventive medicine is wise policy, but not because it reduces medical care costs. It raises them. Furthermore, most preventive medicine relates to lifestyle choices and the government will not dare make effective efforts to change those choices.

Bella, answer me something. I've been mean to you, haven't I. Hush, don't answer me. My finger on your lips. I know I have. Kissing your forehead.
Come on… come with me. Leading you by the hand to our bedroom.
Get undressed and lie on your back on the bed. Perfect. Lie still while I tie your wrists and ankles to the bedposts. A bit tighter? OK.
Let's get those nipples peaked up. Bending over you and sucking them into my mouth, pulling on them with my teeth. Biting them, stretching them, letting them drag past my teeth. There, nice. Putting my forefinger on my thumb and resting my hand on your breast. Flicking your perky nipple, striking it hard with my fingernail. You liked that, didn't you? I heard the breath catch in your throat and your back arch a little. Putting my hand on your other breast… holding it there… holding it there… and flicking your nipple hard, sending a little shock through your sensitive breast, down into your nipple.
Your wrists pulling tight against their restraints.
Soothing your nipples with a wet suck of my mouth, a warm massage with my full lips. Then a quick, sharp flick of your nipples with my finger, flicking my saliva from you. Growl for me Bella. Your muscles tensing.
Let's get that clitoris peaked up. Sucking it into my mouth, a mouthful of pussy flesh. Pulling your hardening clitoris between my teeth, letting my lips drag over your swollen skin. Biting your clitoris. Feeling it hard and firm between my lips, hot and aroused. Dragging my pointed tongue up and down your skin from anus to clitoris. Putting my forefinger on my thumb and holding my hand in front of your pussy. Flicking your juicy clitoris, striking it hard with my fingernail. Your hips straining up off the bed. Flicking your sensitive nub again, bringing a sharp gasp out of your mouth.
Count for me, Bella. Count to three. Start.
Flicking your left nipple, whipping my nail across it, sending an electric shock into your breast. Lifting your back off the bed.
Whipping your right nipple with a sharp flick of my finger, bringing an expletive past your lips.
Bella… waiting.
Flicking my finger at your clitoris, my nail grazing your pink flesh, making you yelp.
Reaching into your pussy with two fingers and pressing my thumb to your burning clitoris, squeezing you between thumb outside and forefingers inside. Bella… don't come. I forbid it.
Watch me undress, Bella. See my cock, erect and full. Kneeling on the bed beside your face. Running my shaft back and forth across your wet lips, bringing a tear to the eye of my cock. Making me bursting hard. Turning your head to face me with my hand on your cheek. Good girl, Bella, open wide. Feeding you my swollen cock, bringing it close to boiling point. Oh fuck, a deep twitch… that was close. Pulling out of your mouth and kneeling between your tied legs.
Stroking your clitoris with the underside of my cockhead. Making your pussy lips flushed with blood, and drenched with the juices of anticipation. Caressing your clitoris with my throbbing full cock. Don't come, Bella. Resting my hand on the bed close to your face, hooking my thumb into the side of your mouth, pulling it open at the corner as I slap the underside of my cock wetly against your sodden pussy.
You're mine Bella. My thumb is touching your back teeth. You're mine.
Nod if you know it. Good girl.
Dragging my cockhead through your open pussy lips, once, twice and then plunging my thick length deep into your body, immediately drowning your erupting orgasm in a fountain of semen as we release and explode together, flooding each other, convulsing and shaking. Cradling your face between my arms, pulling your head to my neck and fucking your trembling body like a tiger. Feeling like I am splitting you open. Feeling like I am filling your insides. Holding you as you buck beneath me like a woman possessed, the ties digging into your ankles and wrists. Let it go, Bella, let it all go. Whispering into your hair "You are mine Bella." Feeling you squeezing my cock hard with your pussy.
You are mine.

|Ice Bar at the Stowe Winter Carnival
The Stowe Winter Carnival is this coming weekend, Jan 19 - 21. One of the things you should make a note to see there is the ice bar being built next to Stowe's best known bar/nightclub, The Rusty Nail. It is located on Route 108, also called Mountain Road, the main road from the village out to the ski area.
About 20 tons of ice blocks are being used to build the 25 foot bar plus ice tables and chairs, two person ice throne, and a liquor luge (whatever that is) all inside eight foot tall ice walls. This bar was inspired by the winter carnival ice bars of Quebec, the Canadian province that shares a border with Vermont.
Here is a link to the Stowe Reporter newspaper which last week featured a front page photograph of the ice bar under construction. This link will be outdated in a few days when the next issue of the newspaper comes out. If you would like to see how the Quebecois do it, go to this link about the amazing Ice Hotel in Quebec City.
