To be eligible for call you must have obtained at least a competent overall on the BPTC along with twelve qualifying sessions.Yes, you can secure an education loan to study abroad at Nottingham Trent University. I am now waiting to be called to the bar at the Middle Temple in November (Michaelmas call). In July, I received my BPTC results in which I was graded an outstanding overall. The BPTC assesses your level of competency with the grading ranging from not competent to outstanding. In this capacity you are subject to the same code of ethics that governs barristers and you will frequently find yourself up against opponents who are themselves practicing barristers usually up to five years call. In this role I have represented clients in court before District Judges across the Midlands on a range of issues including personal injury claims, RTA claims, infant approval hearings, debt recovery hearings, fitness to work cases, mortgage possession hearings and deposit protection hearings. Whilst studying on the BPTC I worked as a County Court Advocate. There are a wide range of sessions available including but not expressly limited to advocacy weekends at the Cumberland Lodge, mooting competitions, dining nights, music nights and lectures. The sorts of issues you will face on a day to day basis will largely relate to evidence, procedure and advice.ĭuring the BPTC, I attended twelve qualifying sessions at the Middle Temple, as this is required before you are eligible to be called to the bar. The assumption is that you now know the law, or at the very least you will inform yourself of what the law is. Instead, the focus is on practical skills. The course is very different from any undergraduate law course, the emphasis shifts away from academic research and legal theory. You must then choose two optional modules, I took advanced criminal litigation and family law practice. These areas are criminal litigation (evidence and sentencing), civil litigation and remedies, professional ethics, drafting, opinion writing, resolution of disputes out of court (RDOC), conferencing, criminal advocacy (comprising of two assessments examination in chief and cross examination) and civil advocacy. On the BPTC I had to complete twelve exams, each assessing a different discipline necessary for legal practice as a barrister.

Last year we published an article about celebrating the scholarship one of our students, Jake Edwards, won in order to complete the Bar Professional Training Course at Nottingham Trent University.

![]() Similar to Autohitting, Puppeteering is directly controlling your opponents OC during your turn. Puppeteering: This term is also called "Godmod" in other RP Combat communities, but the definition is the same. For example, if one were to hit you with a fireball that is much more powerful than you are durable, and you coming out with nothing but minor burns, that would be godmodding. Godmodding: Also called “unrealism”, godmodding is simply typing out a reaction and/or effect that would not be a reasonable outcome. This includes figuring out the opponents power or strategy faster than what would be reasonable for your character. Metagaming is using information that your character should not have to their advantage, whether it is something said in OOC or in the opponents Bio that has not been adequately hinted at during the fight. Metagaming: metagaming is another RP Etiquette term that counts as a broken rule if violated. Autohitting: Autohitting is a violation of the basic roleplay etiquette that involves typing out your attack as if it already connected. They encompass the standard RP etiquette and the ones excusive to T-1. These are the most common terms that will be thrown around in T-1. This is a detailed rewrite of the T-1 combat ruleset to be used as a standard. Communication and description are key in both the middle of the fight and the mutual knowledge of the situation between the combatants. It revolves around both the abilities of your character as well as your own combat proficiency, strategy, and knowledge of realism. Tier 1 or T-1 Combat system is a turn-based combat system that is most widely accepted and utilized in the Roleplay Combat community. Like all red-blooded American kids in denial, he refused to talk about it. We'd both grown up on a diet of fables like The Sands of Iwo Jima. He'd never seen anything critical of war, armies, or officers like this before. The Charge of the Light Brigade had been advertised with a splendid poster of a cavalryman with a saber, and promised to be a lavish update of the old Errol Flynn movie. But it was always mother-son bonding night, so Savant had to stay home and just hear about incredible screenings Cinerama Dome of 2001 and Ice Station Zebra from this really inarticulate friend. Savant's best-friend neighbor in 1968 had this mom that drove him all the way into Los Angeles to see new movies. The British have a surfeit of noble fighting men willing to die in battle, and they might have been capable of winning - if it were not for the appalling incompetence and arrogant idiocy of their officers. Cholera strikes the ranks as soon as they reach land, and when they come face-to-face with the orderly, battle-ready Russians on the plains of Balaclava, it's a miracle that the tough Scots infantry overwhelm the enemy during the first engagement. Duberly (Jill Bennett) come as well, getting in the way. Many wives and onlookers like nosy corps wife Mrs. The expeditionary force goes to the Crimea in a shockingly inept fleet packed with clerks and luxuries for the officers. A dinner-table trifle between them is blown up into the 'black bottle' scandal, which inflames the command to the point where normal military functions are impaired. ![]() Cardigan is a borderline madman who flogs and expels a sergeant for refusing to spy for him, and takes the simplest error as an affront to his ostentatious masculinity: he despises young Captain Nolan (David Hemmings) simply because he's seen action in India. ![]() Cardigan personally equips and 'owns' the Light Brigade, a corps of 700 beautiful young horsemen-officers who yearn for battle just like the little toy soldiers they resemble. This is a terrible mistake, for neither man can think past his own ego and status. He appoints himself expeditionary leader, while feuding, petty rivals Lord Lucan (Harry Andrews) and Lord Cardigan (Trevor Howard) are placed in field command positions. The administrative head of the Army, the borderline-senile Lord Ragland (John Gielgud), keeps confusing the Russian enemy with the French to whom he lost his arm, thirty years before. Most have bought their commissions as well. Unfortunately, except for constant fighting in India, England's home officers haven't seen real action for decades, and there is a backlog of inexperienced noblemen seeking to make their careers before retirement. England has decided to 'rescue' Turkey from the depredations of Russia, and decides to send an expeditionary force to the Crimea. But The Charge of the Light Brigade itself is a beauty - two hours and eleven minutes of unrelieved rage directed at the folly of war.ġ854. For a big studio to set this art house anti-war liberal loose with a huge budget was an economic blunder reminiscent of the total military disaster in the movie.

In what seems like only moments later, I move from this sweaty and loud but peaceful state to a much-too-quiet hotel room. It is the opposite of isolation – it is desegregation and connectedness it is unity. Belonging, not just for me (I hope) – it’s a feeling that blankets the room. ![]() We all sing the same songs and move to the same strenuous beat and it creates this crushing feeling of belonging. While performing, I can almost tangibly feel the thousands of eyes on me accompanied by thousands of hands reaching for me. There’s a whiplash effect that happens pretty much every time I play on the road. But “Never Sleep Alone” is interesting because it conjures up so many moods.Essentially, the big picture meaning for me is this: we never sleep alone. I hesitate to tell people what it means to me, because I want my listeners to imprint their own circumstance on it. ![]() “Never Sleep Alone” could be taken so many ways. The origin of everything I’ve done has simply come from me. I’ve never had to try and chase a current trend or hype a certain genre. Because I am the author of my “sound” – it is my life. Not better or worse but reflective of what is happening in my life. My metamorphosis has been cohesive and traveled a path that makes sense to me it’s grown as I’ve grown. But I go with what I’m experiencing, or have experienced in the past. I don’t know how anything will be received. I don’t actually write with very much confidence, and rarely finish anything with a triumphant chest pound. When I write, it’s in the more quiet and subdued moments. It’s a struggle to answer, because I’d love to paint a heroic picture of moments where a white tiger is in the corner of my studio, and as I throw him a piece of meat, I look to the sky (because obviously my imaginary studio has no roof) inspired, and as I dictate a few words to my assistant, beautiful angels float from out of the walls and begin to sing the words I’m saying, in harmonic and celestial cadences. ![]() ![]() ImgBurn 2.5.7.0: Lightweight CD/DVD/HD DVD/Blu-ray burning application, supports BIN, CUE, DI, DVD, GI, IMG, ISO, MDS, NRG and PDI, Ability to build DVD/HD/BD Video discs from a VIDEO_TS/HVDVD_TS/BDAV/BDMV folder, Unicode folder/file names (formerly DVD Decrypter) (Windows Freeware).Image For Windows 2.75: Backup and restore utility that creates a snapshot of a selected partition or volume, and saves it to disk, or burns it directly to most DVD+RW+R-R-RW or CD-R/RW drives (Windows Shareware).Image For Dos 2.75: Quickly, easily, and reliably create a complete image backup of all the data located on your hard drive, backups made to CD/DVD/BD are bootable (Dos Shareware).GImageX 2.0.17: ImageX is used to backup/restore WIM images for Windows XP/Vista and Windows 7 (Windows Freeware).G4L Ghost 4 Linux 0.34a: A hard disk and partition imaging and cloning tool similar to Norton Ghost (Linux Freeware).FastCopy 2.11: The Fastest Copy/Delete Software on Windows (Windows Freeware).Drive SnapShot 1.40: Creates an exact Disk Image of your system into a file while windows is running (Windows Shareware).DriveImage XML 2.42: Backup any drive/partition to an image file, even if the drive is currently in use, a very good freeware alternative to Ghost / Acronis (Windows Freeware).DiskImage 1.6: Creates and writes disk images files to hard and floppy disks (Windows Freeware).CopyWipe 1.14: Copy old hard drive to a new hard drive by copying the entire contents of one drive to another, CopyWipe can also help prevent confidential or private data from being recovered, by securely wiping the contents of a drive (Windows/Dos Freeware).COPYR.DMA Build013: A Tool for making copies of hard disks with bad sectors (Dos Freeware).CloneDisk 1.9.6: All in one tool for MBR, Partition, Disk, VMWare Disk images vmdk/vmx/vhd, and much more (Windows Freeware).TDSSKiller 2.8.13: Remove malware belonging to the family aka Tidserv, TDSServ and Alureon (Windows Freeware). ![]() SuperAntispyware: Remove Adware, Malware, Parasites, Rootkits, Spyware, Trojan, and Worms (downloadable) (Windows Freeware).Spybot: Search & Destroy 1.6.2 (18-10-2012): Application to scan for spyware, adware, hijackers and other malicious software (Windows Freeware).RootkitRevealer 1.7.1: Rootkit Revealer is an advanced patent-pending root kit detection utility (Windows Freeware).Remove Fake Antivirus 1.82: Tool to remove virus/malware which disguises itself to be an antivirus and produces fake alert/warnings and urge you to purchase a useless copy of the fake antivirus (Windows Freeware).Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 1.51.1 (18-10-2012): Anti-malware application that can thoroughly remove even the most advanced malware (Windows Freeware).GMER 1.0.15: Hidden services, hidden registry, hidden file scanner, Rootkit Detector and Remover (Windows Freeware).Dr.Web CureIt!

One of the important changes that comes with the Linux Lite 4.0 is the introduction of new outlook for the distro with a new icon and system theme. ![]() Incidentally, we tried using a GameCube pad with a USB adapter and, while it involves a fair amount of tweaking, you are able to remap things appropriately in-game (with the exception of the Pause menu) for a truly OG control experience. It feels pretty antiquated compared to the twin-stick method, as you’re unable to aim whilst moving. We’re not going to lie unless you’ve been playing the original consistently over the intervening years, going back to this method of control might prove difficult. You’ve also got the ‘classic’ scheme, which looks to replicate the original GameCube controls. It actually works wonderfully well and it’s likely the control scheme that most players will opt for. The default method is a new twin-stick layout which leans closer to how a modern-day first-person shooter typically feels (and yes, you can invert the y-axis). Moving onto gameplay, the remaster boasts multiple control schemes to suit your individual needs. For most players, however, these issues won’t be much of a problem at all, and newcomers obviously won’t even notice. We tried desperately to figure out why this might be, and when looking back at the original game, the effect of the snowfall has actually been toned down for the remastered version, and it doesn’t look quite so pretty, all told. Captured on Nintendo Switch (Docked)Īdditionally, Phendrana Drifts, one of the most iconic locations in Metroid’s history, doesn’t pack the same visual punch as the original. It's a minor issue, but returning players will definitely notice. ![]() First off, you might have seen that one of the original developers expressed dissatisfaction with how the door visuals have been handled in the new version, and we have to agree here some of the beautiful detail in the original has definitely been lost. Having said that, we do have a couple of minor niggles. It’s such a minor thing and the devs could have easily bypassed it in favour of lower-hanging fruit, but the sheer effort that’s gone into tastefully enhancing every aspect of the visuals is mind-boggling. Not only that, but the rainfall in the opening world of Tallon IV has been given its own dose of TLC: here, you can make out the individual raindrops hitting Samus’s arm cannon in the foreground, and if you point your cannon up, the raindrops will cascade down the metallic casing. When you enter the fiery tunnels of Magmoor Caverns, you can see Samus’ visor mist up with condensation, and while this effect has been toned down slightly from the original, the actual detail has been amplified you can see every single little droplet of water in pristine detail. The differences extend to the small details, too. The essence of the original game remains firmly intact, but you’d be forgiven for thinking this was a brand new 2023 Switch release and not a remaster of a two-decade-old GameCube title. Everything has been given a significant lick of paint, from the environments to the enemies and even Samus herself. The original Metroid Prime was certainly no slouch, and we’d argue that it provided a more than solid foundation to work from here, but when compared side-by-side the differences are simply astounding. Right from the opening section as you watch Samus’ ship dock onto the abandoned Space Pirate frigate, it’s clear just how much thought and effort has gone into updating the game’s visuals. Captured on Nintendo Switch (Handheld/Undocked) This is a stunning revamp from top to bottom, and although there are a few minor niggles here and there, we feel confident enough to say that Metroid Prime Remastered is a bonafide masterpiece and an absolutely essential addition to your Switch library. ![]() Now, more than 20 years later, Metroid Prime has been remastered for the Nintendo Switch, and Retro Studios has proven why it’s consistently considered one of the most talented developers in the business ( though the studio did have help from a number of other devs for this one). Yet the team accomplished it spectacularly, crafting what remains to this day one of the finest GameCube games of all time. The idea that Retro Studios, an entirely new entity at the time, could not only successfully reimagine the franchise in a 3D space but also implement a first-person perspective was frankly absurd. ![]() Prior to the release of Metroid Prime back in 2002, the franchise had been confined to the 2D realm, with complex environments full of secrets and hidden equipment that bolstered your abilities and combat potential as you explored. It’s difficult to believe now, but there was once a time when the notion of a first-person Metroid game seemed unfathomable. ![]() I found out thanks to Serge: Samba, FTP, or SSH would be the solution, but I couldn't access the IP of my virtual machine at first.
