University of Leicester – About us and our values
If the pursuit of knowledge feels like a walk in the park then you probably aren’t trying hard enough. We think a university should be about empowering people to explore what they dont know; through passionate, dedicated teaching and innovative, world-changing research. By embracing the fact that were all coming at it from a slightly different place, and that every journey is personal, weve managed to achieve some remarkable results in our time.
We believe that the best universities are not just the privilege of the elite. Were proof that you can stand alongside the best and open up the competition for everyone.
Some universities consider their primary purpose to be high quality research, others concentrate on excellent teaching. At Leicester we think that the two are not only complementary, theyre inseparable. We believe that teaching is more inspirational when delivered by passionate scholars engaged in world-changing research and that research is stronger when delivered in an academic community that includes students.
With these ideas at heart, Leicester is re-framing the values that govern academia and re-defining what a university needs to be in the 21st century. We are constantly finding new ways of being a leading university.
When we were named University of the Year for 2008-9 by Times Higher Education, the judges applauded Leicesters very different approach, calling us elite without being elitist.
What qualifies us as elite? Could it be our uniformly high rankings across the various national university guides published annually by different newspapers? Or our consistently excellent results in the National Student Survey? Or perhaps its a commitment to these core values:
An inclusive and accessible culture
Our commitment to an inclusive and accessible culture not only opens the doors to the very best, no matter their background, it even shapes the very way we look at and discover the world around us.
Of Britains top 20 universities only one Leicester exceeds its government benchmarks for inclusivity for students from the maintained sector and lower socio-economic groups.
A personal, supportive experience for those who use our services
The University of Leicester was founded as a memorial to the fallen of the Great War and our motto means So that they may have life. We seek to do this by providing a supportive and personal environment for those who use our services and an experience that our students tell us is second to none.
A commitment to high quality, innovation and rigorous academic standards
We are dedicated to finding new ways of doing old things and bringing new perspectives to established ideas, without compromising on quality and while maintaining our high rankings
A belief that teaching and research are synergistic
We believe that teaching is inspirational when delivered by passionate scholars engaged in world changing research – and that our research is stronger when delivered in an academic community that includes students – students who question and probe us every day.

An oral ulcer (from Latin ulcus) is the name for the appearance of an open sore inside the mouth caused by a break in the mucous membrane or the epithelium
on the lips or surrounding the mouth. The types of oral ulcers are diverse, with a multitude of associated causes including: physical or chemical trauma, infection from microorganisms or viruses, medical conditions or medications, cancerous and sometimes nonspecific processes. Once formed, the ulcer may be maintained by inflammation and/or secondary infection. Two common
oral ulcer types are aphthous ulcers (canker sores) and cold sores. Cold sores can be caused by the herpes
simplex virus.
Causes
======
There are many processes which can lead to ulceration of the oral tissues. In some cases they are caused by an overreaction by the body’s own immune system. Factors that appear to provoke them include stress, fatigue, illness, injury from accidental biting, hormonal changes, menstruation, sudden weight loss, food allergies and deficiencies in vitamin B12, iron and folic acid.
Oral ulcers are also a common result of ceased cigarette smoking, affecting about two out of five quitters. Some drugs, such as nicorandil, have also been linked with oral ulcers.Some recreational drugs cause mouth ulcers.

It’s Business Time – Flight of the Conchords
Unghh
Girl tonight we’re gonna make love
You know how I know?
Because it’s Wednesday
And Wednesday night is the night that we usually make love
Tuesday night is the night that we usually go to your mother’s place and I teach
her how to use the video machine again
But Wednesday night is the night that we make love
It’s when everything is just right
You’re not too tired from your afterwork social netball team practice
There’s nothing good on TV.
Mmmmm…
Conditions are perfect for making love.
You turn to me and say something sexy like, “I might go to bed. I’ve got work in
the morning.”
I know what you’re trying to say, baby.
You’re trying to say “Aww, yeah. It’s business time.”
It’s business
It’s business time
I know what you’re trying to say
You’re trying to say it’s time for business
It’s business time
Ooh
It’s business
It’s business time
Aww aww yeah yeah
The next thing you know we’re in the bathroom brushing our teeth
That’s all part of it, that’s foreplay.
Foreplay is very important in love making
Then you go sort out the recycling
Which isn’t part of the foreplay, but it’s still very important
That’s not foreplay, but it’s still very important.
Then next thing you know we’re in the bedroom
You’re wearin’ that same old ugly, baggy T-shirt with a stain on it that you got
from that team-building exercise you did for your old work several years ago
“Team Building Exercise ’99″.
I take off my clothes
But I trip over my jeans ’cause I’m still wearing my shoes
But it’s okay because I turn it all into a sexy dance.
The next thing you know I’m wearing absolutely nothing
Except for my socks
And you know when I’m down to my socks what time it
It’s business time
It’s business
It’s business time
When I’m down to my socks it’s time for business
That’s why they’re called business socks
Ooh
It’s business
It’s business time
Aww aww yeah yeah
Making love
Making love for
Makin love for two
Making love for two minutes
When it’s with me, you only need two minutes, girl
‘Cause I’m so intense
Two minutes in heaven is better than one minute in heaven
You turn to me and say something sexy like, “Is that it?”
I know what you’re trying to say, girl
You’re trying to say, “Aw yeah, that’s it”
And then you tell me you want some more
Well, uh…
I’m not surprised
But I am quite sleepy
Mmm
It’s business
It’s business time
Business hours are over, baby
It’s business
It’s business time

I promise that this remedy will give you results within two weeks as it did for me and other’s who have messaged me back. For those of you who don’t think that this will work for you, here’s a little paragraph about what google has to say:
“Skin Blemishes :- The juice of raw potatoes, has also proved very valuable in clearing skin blemishes. This cleansing results from high content of potassium, sulphur, phosphorus and chlorine in the potato. These elements are, however, of value only when the potato is raw as in this state they are composed of live organic atoms. In the cooked state, they are converted into inorganic atoms and are of little value for constructive purposes.
The juicy pulp of the shredded raw potatoes can also be applied as a poultice in clearing the wrinkle and other skin blemishes due to ageing. It may be rubbed on the face and other portions of body that have wrinkles before retiring for bed. It will help melt the wrinkles, banish age spots and clear the skin. ”
“Skin Care: Vitamin-C and B-complex and minerals like potassium, magnesium, phosphorus and zinc are good for the skin. Apart from that, pulp obtained from crushed raw potatoes, mixed with honey, can serve as excellent skin and face packs. This helps even curing pimples and spots on the skin. Again, this pulp, if applied externally on burns, gives a quick relief and heals fast. Smashed potatoes, even water in which potatoes are washed, are very good for softening and cleaning skin, especially around elbows, back of the palms etc. ”
This tip is a natural and effective way of getting rid of your scars without using harsh chemicals or going through laser treatments. I hope this helped any of you out. If you have any questions, feel free to ask =)
