Hi, this is Beau Baez, and today I want to explain how law school exams work.
Almost every law school exam is made up of essay questions, and many also include bar
exam style multiple choice questions.
Most exams are proctored, with a specific time limit.
You will have to keep track of time yourself, since you will have a block of time to answer
all the questions.
If you spend too much time on one question, that could mean you don't get to every question.
First, let's discuss essay questions.
A single essay question can be several pages long, though the more common essay questions
each fit on one page.
The question is comprised almost exclusively of facts.
For example, the facts might describe how someone went to the grocery store and was
injured by a banana that somebody dropped on the floor.
After the facts there's a short question.
The question might be very broad and ask you to "discuss all issues reasonably raised
by the facts."
Or if your professor is feeling generous, it might say something like "discuss whether
Peter is liable for murder."
Law school essays are not looking for you to merely recite all the law you know—that
is what most of you are used to doing from your college courses.
Instead, a law school course essay requires students to use a skill needed to practice law: reading
a set of facts concerning a client, determining the legal issues, and then applying the law
to the client's problem.
Second, let's move to multiple choice questions.
Again, these are not the type of questions you saw in college.
In college, you might have had a question that asked you to provide the year in which
the Magna Charta was signed by King John of England, and then you would have four choices: 1066, 1215, 1776,
or 1848 (the answer is 1215 in case you were wondering).
A law school multiple choice question is a paragraph or two long, and you will have to
choose the best answer.
This means that you will often have more than one answer that is technically correct.
The key is to find the best among two, three, or even four technically correct answers.
Also, you might have four wrong answers, but again you need to find the best answer choice
from what you've been given.
Law school essays are graded differently from college exams, because you are not being primarily
tested on knowledge retention.
Though there is no one standard grading rubric, all law professors will grade you on how well
you did using four categories: correct rules, application of facts to law, organization,
and technical writing skills, like grammar and writing.
Unfortunately, professors are all over the place on how many points they assign to these
categories, and few will tell you how they assign points.
What you do is you get a grade at
the end of the semester and that's it.
So how do you succeed on a law school exam?
Hard work by itself isn't enough.
First, you need to create a strong law school outline, which is where you capture all
the rules you will need for the exam.
Second, you will use the IRAC method in writing your essays—I for Issue, R for Rule, A for
analysis, and C for conclusion.
Third, you must write practice essays, starting towards the beginning of the semester
because cramming two weeks before the final will not do.
Fourth, for multiple choice questions, you also must start practicing them at the beginning
of the semester.
Because law school exams are testing you on new skills, and you must start learning how to
master these skills early in the semester.
If you wait to the end, you will be disappointed in your grades, or find yourself academically
dismissed.

Onwards and upwards through digitization: T-Systems helps KONE network its elevators - Duration: 3:38.
In the Finnish City of Espoo, digitization is reaching new heights.
Here, KONE's unit for Technology and Innovation develops
elevators, escalators and automatic doors.
Tomio Pihkala, Chief of Technology at KONE,
knows the many challenges of urbanization.
Our key driver was to really help to connect people
to serve our customers better
by releasing time what they need to spend today at
office and spend more time with the customer.
Since mid of 2015, the company has been implementing its idea
idea of connected elevators.
As a partner to KONE, T-Systems
prepares the data from the elevators
so that errors can be identified
early on or are prevented.
It took some nine months after we selected the key partners
and key technologies to implement things
like IOT-platform and we were able to launch
the first services and solutions already this year in February.
KONE has formed its IT-landscape by using all the right elements:
Dynamic Services for SAP out of the T-Systems-Private-Cloud
combined with an IBM Watson Cloud and a Salesforce Service Cloud.
The challenge: the different systems
have to be perfectly attuned to each other.
The benefits are when the services are moving to the cloud-based
solutions it's gonna be much more flexible, fast and agile.
We will benefit from the role map and new
functions coming from different cloud services.
And how does the company protect its digital platforms?
The cybersecurity is a very important matter in IoT space.
So we decided to really look at this in a holistic manner.
On-site, the service-technicians can easily get to
the sensitive information from the networked sensors.
They have a so-called field-mobility-solution,
so mobile application,
where they can geht the information
about the customer's project,
equipment without the
possible problems and also advise
how to solve the problems
and how to order spare parts for example.
Making our cities more livable
with the methods and products of digitization -
when it comes to the cooperation with T-Systems,
this is the goal of KONE.
Tomio Pikhala
predicts a relaxed future.
Well, I believe that when a person entered a building
the building will know
who you are, what you need,
what kind of preferences you have,
what kind of music you like,
the way you are heading.
It's gonna be much more personalized,
much more contextual, something huzzle-free.
Tomio Pihkala is certain that automation
can support every individual in his daily life
and help him save time.
Here, artificial intelligence can help.
So, eventually, you have an AI which is sort
of advising on real time basis what you should do
and it's going to happen in a different way than before.
I believe the era of mobile applications –
as we have today – will be over.
There will be much less applications eventually.

Garbagemen Throw Bag In Truck Then Hear Cry For Help. When They Open Bag Can't Believe Their Eyes - Duration: 2:08.

Garbagemen Throw Bag In Truck Then Hear Cry For Help.
When They Open Bag Can't Believe Their Eyes
Trash collectors aren't given enough credit.
They see things that would make most of us ill, yet they still have a job to do and they
do it without complaining.
The next time they come to haul away your trash, think of this story of two heroic sanitation
workers who saved a precious life one fateful day.
While going about their business one day, the workers started crushing and compacting
the trash they had just picked up.
But then they heard something they never expected – a cry coming from one of the plastic bags.
It took them a moment to find the specific bag, though the panicked cries aided them
in their search.
When they finally located the bag, they couldn't believe what they found inside.
A faceless, nameless monster had stuffed a tiny gray cat inside one of the trash bags.
What makes this story even more tragic and disgusting is that this depraved person doused
the poor kitty with gasoline before doing so.
We can't wrap our heads around why someone would mistreat such an innocent creature.
It takes someone with a nasty disposition and no conscience to do something so horrific.
If the workers hadn't found her, she would have died.
Thankfully, they did find her and they responded quickly.
They got the sweet girl to a vet just in time.
Miracle Maisy, as she was later named, was significantly underweight and sick from breathing
in the harmful fumes of the gasoline for what they estimate was at least six hours.
Because of her rescuers, though, Miracle Maisy is doing much better today.
She is expected to make a full recovery and to find a forever home as soon as her recovery
is complete.
We're so glad the trash collectors found Miracle Maisy when they did.
We only hope her former owner gets the justice they deserve for the horrible way they treated
this cat.
At least this lucky kitty won't ever have to worry about being harmed again.
She has been given a second chance at living a long and happy life filled with happy memories
and people who love her.

BEST PRACTICE | Rescuing the rescuers – T-Systems helps protect the lives of firefighters. - Duration: 4:51.
We are at the fire fighter's operations center in Krefeld.
When an emergency call comes in, everything has to go fast.
Lives could be at risk.
Fortunately, every step fits.
The fire fighters know exactly what to do.
On the one hand, we already have a high educational and training degree.
Our colleagues are appropriately equipped with Nomex safety clothing.
They wear masks with a breathing apparatus
in order to be appropriately protected against combustion gas.
For every task there is an appropriate tool.
Yet, the rescuers often run into dangerous situations being on an operation.
Until now, we have to manage this via radio frequencies,
or via Totmann warning systems that give acoustic signals
I wish we would have a monitoring tool
to better follow our colleagues inside.
Christian Kapitza, Senior Consultant at T-Systems, understands this wish.
Thus, his company has developed a prototype of a "connected T-shirt". It's called "Connected Shirt".
As soon as the fire fighter activates his respiratory mask,
the connected shirt is activated, as well. Continuously, it sends the
fire fighter's location and exact position to the control center.
This technology does not cause a higher effort. The firefighters, who show up for
work, change from their civilian clothes into their uniform only after they
have arrived in the so-called white area. The only thing that is new is that the
firefighter puts on his connected T-shirt. From here on, everything else stays as it is.
The black area is where the other equipment such as helmet and jacket are located
so that the next shift can take over.
The connected shirt is ready to be used.
The connected shirt has integrated sensors. Its data is continuously reported
to our cloud via our mobile network.
And from the cloud they are forwarded to the systems,
for instance to those of the head of operations.
Alarm! Now it has to go fast.
Fortunately, the fire brigade is well prepared – and well equipped.
In order to guarantee that everything runs smooth at all times,
the fire brigade high makes high demands on the connected shirt.
First, it needs to be easy to handle, even at high pace.
The reason is that each firefighting operation starts suddenly and unexpectedly –
so that it can be easily handled.
Then, it needs to meet the fire brigade's challenges.
Those are: heat, wetness, coldness and various different mechanical stresses,
so that this new technology can be integrated in
the daily routines of the fire brigade/the daily operation routines.
The system is completely installed, robust, and ready for use. The fire brigade
hardly needs any training and the maintenance requirements are low.
Thus, they don not need to occupy themselves with the technology,
but rather they can benefit from it.
Fire! The head of operations sends out the first fire-fighting crew.
Yet, only two out of three firefighters return from the inside of the building.
A look at the tablet reveals what has happened.
One firefighter is lying on the floor. Due to all the smoke in the building,
he cannot be seen. But thanks to the integrated inertial sensors,
the connected T-shirt can determine the position of the injured person in the building.
The sensor data is already processed in the T-shirt.
After that, it is transmitted into the cloud via mobile connection.
From there, the data is further distributed to the different applications.
The head of operations sees his colleague's exact position on the tablet
and immediately sends out a rescue troop.
They do not need to search for the injured person.
The man is rescued immediately.
Yes exactly, these are the benefits. For sure, we have
improved our colleague's safety by using this T-shirt.
This is top-priority for us.
Not only that we rescue other people but
we return from our operations without injuries.
And any other technical innovation that ensures safety
is certainly helpful and desirable.
I am excited about this topic because this technology was much, much more
expensive earlier. Now it is available for more and more applications and products.
This way, we are able to cover firefighting-operation scenarios at reasonable costs,
which has previously been unthinkable.
The fire brigade is only the first possible application purpose of the connected T-shirt.
T-Systems sees many opportunities to save lives.
From fire fighters to general emergency personnel to technical assistance
organization to mountain hikers to service technicians in remote areas ...
Yes, indeed! We really see a very broad range of applications for this product.

Firefighter Who Rushed To Diana's Aid Reveals Late Princess' Last Words 20 Years Later - Duration: 3:17.

Firefighter Who Rushed To Diana's Aid Reveals Late Princess' Last Words 20 Years Later
When news broke 20 years ago that Princess Diana had been killed in a car crash, it seemed
as if time stood still.
It was hard to believe that "the People's Princess" was really gone.
For years, Diana's face had been splashed across magazine and newspaper covers.
Even though most people had never met her, millions around the world felt as if they
knew the princess.
There was one man, though, who had never much cared to follow Diana or the royal family.
That man was French firefighter Xavier Gourmelon.
Though he knew who the princess was – you would have had to be living under a rock not
to – he was not as enamored with her every move as was the rest of the public.
When he got called to the scene of a terrible accident in Paris that night, it was business
as usual.
He realized there was a woman still alive in the back of the car and rushed to help
her.
"She was moving very slightly and I could see she was alive," Gourmelon recalled.
"I could see she had a slight injury to her right shoulder but, other than that, there
was nothing significant.
There was no blood on her at all."
What he didn't realize at the time was how extensive her internal injuries were.
As he was helping her, she suddenly suffered a cardiac arrest.
"I massaged her heart and a few seconds later she was breathing again," Gourmelon
said.
"It was a relief of course because, as a first responder, you want to save lives — and
that's what I thought I had done."
It wasn't until Diana had already been put in the ambulance that one of Gourmelon's
colleagues told him who she was.
"I was so shocked," he recalled.
"I knew who she was, but don't follow British royalty closely.
I went to the ambulance and looked in and that's when I recognized her."
As the ambulance pulled away, Gourmelon was confident that his actions had saved the princess'
life.
When he found out she had passed away soon after, he was left in shock.
"To be honest I thought she would live," he said.
"As far as I knew when she was in the ambulance she was alive and I expected her to live.
But I found out later she had died in hospital.
It was very upsetting."
According to an official report, Diana suffered massive internal injuries and a ruptured blood
vessel next to her heart which caused internal bleeding, leading to her death.
For the past 20 years, Gourmelon has kept mum on his final moments with the princess.
Now, though, having retired from firefighting, he feels he can come forward and share what
he believes are Diana's final words.
"I held her hand and told her to be calm and keep still," he recalled.
"I said I was there to help and reassured her.
She said, 'My God, what's happened?'"
Gourmelon says that night is one that lives in his memory.
He doesn't think he will ever get over it.
"I can still picture the whole scene," he said.
"It's something I'll never forget and that I always think about at this time of
year."
"[T]he whole episode is still very much in my mind," he added.
"And the memory of that night will stay with me forever."

2017 Gaming Diary | January (1/12) - Duration: 8:37.
2017.
Good lord.
Not only were most 2017 games amazing, it's also been the year where I've played countless
great gems.
When i realized how much i've discovered the past months, i felt like i needed to make
a series of games i've played throughout the year.
Starting today, December the 1st, until christmas, I will post a video centered around a single
month of the year every two days.
And around new year's eve, I will post a final video depicting the most memorable games
I've played in 2017.
Which means that today, I will cover the games i've played in January.
Without further ado, let's dive right into it.
Just a reminder that i will NOT give my opinion on the games that came out this year, as I'm
going to make a complete video near new year's eve.
So nothing but oldies.
Starting the year off with a fucking punch to the gut with DOOM 2016.
I started playing the game near christmas but i ended up finishing it after new year
and holy crap, this game does kick ass.
Like everybody else, i didn't expect much.
I didn't really have the money to buy it last year when i heard the good stuff and
i was too busy playing the hell out of Brutal Doom already, so when i was finally able to
play it I had one hell of a blast.
The weapons feel good, have an incredibly satisfying feedback, juggling through your
weapons, dodging dozens of bullets, jumping, aiming, destroying the living fuck out of
the most ugly demons of hell, running and jumping around the well conceived level design,
the mad soundtrack beats, the health system, the aggressiveness of the combat, nothing
is disappointing in this hellish fps.
After going through so much in DOOM, i needed some time to relax.
I've touched a lot of Final Fantasy games, but the only one i've ever finished was
Final Fantasy VI.
I started playing playing XV around christmas as well but since XV was so focused and similar
to the first game, i thought it was about time to finish FF1 once and for all.
I played the GBA version, and wasn't too disappointed.
I still appreciate how you're free to name and choose your units, it makes you feel like
you're really free to experiment on whatever kind of strategy you're more into.
There's always those moments, especially near the end, where you HAVE to grind if you
want to get a chance at finishing the game in a kinda balanced setting.
But even story wise i was quite surprised, though it's nothing incredible if you play
it now of all times, but there's a nice endgame twist.
Honestly there's not much to say about FF1, but even today it's interesting to go back
to the roots and play the original.
But it's about time i go back and finish final fantasy xv.
My opinion on this one is still fairly confusing.
I can't deny i enjoyed myself, i didn't expect anything but i'm still dissapointed
anyway, it's weird.
If i had to talk about something that i found enjoyable and memorable, it would be the road
trip.
Hangin out wid the boiz at night, cooking random stuff, button mashing my way through
the combat, still hangin out wid the boiz in the car, kickass music and gorgeous cutscenes,
and then there's all the bad stuff.
Fetch quests that barely matter, linear dungeons that all look the same except for one or two,
extremely forgettable side characters, barely any character development, a story that feels
way too put aside, wonky controls, and…
Truth be told, i don't recommend anyone to play this game.
Everything just feels superficial.
Character dialogues and interactions (between de boiz) feel genuine and well built, but
everything else happens and you don't really know why, or how, and it's never really
interesting.
Nothing interesting or new ever happens, and when they do, they never really make any sense
or leave any kind of impact because…
You still know nothing of what's going on between the characters, the universe and all
that, because, 50% of the time, you're….
Hangin out wid the boiz.
It's like there's a gigantic gap between the side content and the main quest, and it
just feels uncanny.
Like nothing connects those two together, and nothing has depth.
Of course you can understand that when you realize that the fucking game will still get
new content in 2018, when it could have been released complete and all that but…
It's a mess.
Final Fantasy XV has been a titanic mess from the first day it's been announced as final
fantasy versus XIII.
And i can't wait until they move on.
Please, Final Fantasy XVI.
Don't be a disappointment.
Then I played my most favorite of this month.
VA-11 Hall-A. It's gonna be hard talking about everything that's good in barely a
few minutes and I might do a review someday anyway, so I'll keep it short : VA-11 Hall-A
is a bartender simulation visual novel game.
You mix drinks, listen to people, and that's about it.
And that's what's good.
Every character, in contrast to FFXV, are extremely well built and all have really distinct
personalities.
Even the most obnoxious ones are charming.
They have something unique, that you can't find in other costumers.
Everyone else is lovely, from Dorothy's carefree speeches, to the boss' adorable
dorkness, to Jill's composed personality and interesting backstory…
There's plenty of colorful characters in this cyberpunk setting.
The game is rhythmed so well you can't see time pass.
The game looks pretty as hell, the music is varied and fun, everything about this game
screams good vibes while still creating a serious tone and knows how to deal with gravity
throughout it's quality writing.
Everything feels genuine, and the futuristic setting seems extremely possible.
There's no real incredible technological advancements (aside from AIs that are way
too real), but it's more about the social and cultural side of the usual cyberpunk tone
: Things pass by extremely fast, there's a lot going on and everyone lives pretty busy
lives.
It's hard to really point out where it excels at doing that, but the best thing you could
do is simply play it and understand that by yourself.
Get a drink, sit back, and enjoy yourself playing through one of the best things that
came out in 2016.
It's time to dive right into the last game i played in January.
Snatcher.
Snatcher is a SEGA-CD game made by Kojima that first came out in 1988 on the MSX2 and
PC 8801, before it came out as a more complete edition in 1994 in both japan and the west.
After VA-11 Hall-A, i needed more cyberpunk.
That's why i launched this game in the first place, truth be told.
If VA-11 Hall-A is constructed around the social and cultural aspect of cyberpunk science
fiction, Snatcher is a more classic story.
It's…
Literally Blade Runner, actually.
You're playing as Gillian Seed, an amnesic character that joins up the JUNKER HQ to become
a runner.
He believes he has ties to the "Snatcher", a sort of android species that takes the place
of humans to infiltrate humanity and kill them.
Runners are basically detectives looking for these Snatchers.
The game is almost entirely dubbed, features gorgeous animated artworks and pretty good
music.
Other than that the game plays like a more casual classic point & click game.
It's fairly short, but it's pretty well rhythmed.
The game feels pretty cold blooded and harsh sometimes, but it's that weirdness that
makes Snatcher striking and pretty damn advanced and deep for its time.
Some dialogues do feel really weird sometimes, but I'll blame that on the the pretty straightforward
localizations of back then.
If you're looking for more Cyberpunk games to play Snatcher and VA-11 Hall-11 are definitely
things you need to check out.
Okay, well that's about it for January ! It's actually been a kinda long video.
The only 2017 game i played that month was Necrodancer Amplified, but i'll talk about
it in the final video.
For now i hope you enjoyed this video, and I hope i motivated you to play Doom, VA-11
Hall-A and Snatcher.
They're definitely games worth checking out.
If you have any suggestions for the format of these videos, please feel free to tell
me now.
There's still 11 videos left to decide on that.
Though i've probably already got three videos ready for the week.
Hope you enjoyed it, and what about you ? What did you play in January ? Feel free to let
me know and comment ! On that, i'll see you in two days for the games I've played
in february, and I'll see you around !

Woman Desperate For Help For Dying Dad.
What Stranger Does Next Leaves Her In Tears
When we look at the world around us it is so easy to get disheartened.
It seems like we are surrounded by so much darkness, whether it be crime or racism or
terrifying storms and fires.
Those things can get overwhelming and it can sometimes make it feel like there is no more
goodness left; but when you open your eyes and look for the good, there is always hope
to be found.
When Hurricane Harvey hit Texas, it left so much destruction in its wake.
In the midst of the darkness and despair, though, many people stepped in to help people
and animals who had been stranded by the storm, bringing light to the terrible darkness.
This week millions of people in the path of Hurricane Irma have been waiting with dread
for the storm to hit.
People have frantically run to stores to stock up on the essentials before either fleeing
or hunkering down to try to ride out the storm.
We have already seen the devastation Irma has wrought as it swept through the Carribean
and carried on in its path toward the United States.
Countless people have seen their homes destroyed and some have even lost their lives.
But while all seems scary and hopeless, yet again we are seeing people step up and show
us that there can still be good in the midst of this storm.
Irma hasn't even hit Florida yet, but we've already seen at least one incredible act of
heroism and selflessness that has left us stunned.
Pam Brekke was desperately trying to find a generator before the storm hit.
Her father is on oxygen and she needed to make sure his machine would still work if
the power went out.
She ran into Lowe's to try to find one, but broke down in tears when she realized
someone had just taken the last one.
All of a sudden, a man came up to her and insisted she take his.
Stunned, Pam began to cry even harder and wrapped her arms around him in a huge hug.
The man, whose name is Ramon Santiago, is a hero in our eyes.
The storm may be tougher to ride out without a generator, especially if he can't get
power back for a while, but he had the compassion and kindness to see Pam's desperation and
selflessly sacrifice his own comfort and safety for hers.
Nancy Alvarez with WFTV shared the story and it has quickly gone viral, racking up over
14 million views in just one day.
"Writing this through tears," she said, "and with a heart full of pride for my community."
