Source: abovethelaw.com --- 1 hour ago Do you want to sit for the New York Bar Exam without spending three years in an American Law School? Now you can. But you're not going to be saving a whole lot of time, and we're not sure if you're going to be saving any money. The Lawyer reports that the College of Law has made a move to accelerate the time it takes for U.K. lawyers to get licensed in the U.S.: The College of Law (CoL) has announced plans to offer the New York Bar Exam to UK students, allowing them to qualify as American lawyers without having to complete a training contract. Full-time GDL students who go on to complete CoL's Legal Practice Course (LPC) or Bar Professional Training Course (BPTC) will be eligible to sit for the New York Bar Exam following an additional 22-week study programme. Previously UK non-law graduates would first need to qualify as a lawyer in the UK and then complete an LLM degree in the US before being able to sit the New York Bar Exam. The program is also open to people educated in the U.S., though it doesn't look like you'll save a whole lot of time hopping across the pond and back ... We spoke with Corinne McPartland, who authored the article in the Lawyer. She explained that U.S. college graduates could go over to London and shave about a half a year off their legal education: U.S. student who does their four years at college comes to the U.K. to do their GDL [Graduate Diploma in Law] for a year, then LPC [Legal Practice Course] for a y ...

The Telegraph reports that the latest push is to connect China to other Asian nations like India and Vietnam, and before decade's end, Europe. Trains are planned to connect China to Russia, Germany, and the UK—a trip from Beijing to London would only take two days.

Source: beatcrave.com --- 2 hours ago In one of those sometimes-the-news-is-more-odd than funny stories, French artist Céleste Boursier-Mougenot has created an art installation in The Curve , Barbican, London, in which 40 zebra finches fly within an aviary lined with electric guitars and other instruments. Whenever a bird lands on the instrument, it makes a noise. People then go to see the birds make noise, and this singular event has become a nationwide phenomenon. Vincent Van Gogh , whose exhibition at the Royal Academy, according to the U.K.’s Times Online , garnered far fewer visitors by comparison, has decided to shoot himself once again over being ignored for a far sunnier mainstream. The sound of the birds hopping on the guitars somewhat resembles the sound of a band tuning up before a live performance. While the birds can’t actually produce songs, they can reproduce the pre-concert sound you hear when waiting in line at the bathroom, or the concession stand, or realizing that some jerk in an Affliction shirt is sitting in your seat, even though your ticket clearly states that this is your row, and now you’re stuck standing in the aisle wishing you had gone to that dumb bird thing instead, like your had girlfriend suggested. Do you think these people are crazy for watching these birds in action?

Source: blog.cleantechies.com --- 2 hours ago A new 42-floor London skyscraper will be the world’s first building to incorporate wind turbines in the design , an innovation developers say will generate 8 percent of the building’s electricity needs. The Strata Tower, a 408-unit apartment building scheduled to open in July, will be topped with three 19-kilowatt turbines — each with five 29.5-foot blades designed to suck wind from various angles and accelerate it through tubes, generating as much as 50 megawatt-hours of electricity annually. It will also generate about £16,000 to £17,000 annually through the nation’s new feed-in tariff, the developers say. The £13-million tower, which developers hope will be a model in sustainable construction, will also utilize natural ventilation rather than air conditioning. By 2019, government law will require carbon neutral design for all new buildings. Green building advocates described the Strata design as pioneering, but questioned whether wind turbines would become common in skyscraper projects. “I doubt wind power will become a common feature in high-rise inner-city projects,” said Paul King, chief executive of the U.K. Green Building Council. “But without this type of bold innovation, how would we ever know?” Article appearing courtesy Yale Environment 360 . photo: Rodents rule’s Related posts: Wind Turbine Fight Splits French Environmentalists Floating Wind Turbines Set Sail Wind Energy Could Meet China’s Energy Needs Until 2030 London ...
