To what extent did the Courts and Legal Services Act 1990 change the legal profession and the provisions of legal services? The Courts and Legal Services Act 1990 has had a positive impact on the Legal Profession and Legal Services, it made many changes and has led to a lot more reforms since. The Courts and Legal Services Act 1990 was the first major change to give solicitors full rights of audience. Solicitors already had advocacy rights in the Magistrates' Courts and the County Courts. The Act allowed solicitors with experience of advocacy in the Magistrates' Courts and County Courts to apply for a certificate of advocacy. He/She would have to take a short training course and pass exams on the rules of evidence before the certificate was granted. It was four years after the Act before the first certificate was granted. This change was the start of the continuing merge between the roles of barristers with the roles of solicitors. The Courts and Legal Services Act 1990 opened up more opportunities for solicitors to advance up the career ladder. Solicitors with the advocacy certificate were eligible to be appointed as QC's and higher judicial positions, this broke the monopoly barristers previously help on all superior judgeships. The Act focused on qualifications relevant for the judiciary rather than experience practicing so that Academic lawyers who had qualified as
What affects the decomposition of Hydrogen peroxide?
What affects the decomposition of Hydrogen peroxide? Aim: To find what affects the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. The hydrogen peroxide breaks down into water and oxygen, (2H202=>2H2O + O2) Proposal: I have a choice of changing the following variables: * Catalyst * Amount of catalyst * Concentration of hydrogen peroxide * Temperature of hydrogen peroxide * Temperature of catalyst I will be exploring how the concentration of hydrogen peroxide affects the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. I shall keep all other variables constant. I will mix different concentrations of hydrogen peroxide by adding certain amounts of water to lower the concentration. I will then add this solution to 1gram of manganese IV oxide (MnO2). I have chosen manganese oxide because in the pulmonary tests it was by far the most reactive substance out of: * Manganese IV oxide * Zinc oxide * Lead IV oxide * Aluminium oxide * Iron III oxide * Copper II oxide * Copper I oxide After adding the hydrogen peroxide to the Manganese IV oxide in the conical flask, I will measure how long it takes to produce 50cm3 of oxygen using a beurette. I could have chosen the following variables: * Amount of oxygen produced in a certain time * Length of time to produce a certain amount of oxygen I chose the latter because it is far more accurate and suitable for this experiment. I shall carry out two

Sociolect basically, means language spoken by a social group, social class or subculture. In this regards it differs to the dialect of that area slightly. Every person in that peer group has their own idiolect.
England is filled with a mixture of different dialects and pronunciation. Every area or city has its own dialect pronunciation and specific words only used in that area for example in east London "innit". The closer the areas are the more similar they are. In addition people living in a specific area have their own peer groups; these peer groups have their own sociolect. Sociolect basically, means language spoken by a social group, social class or subculture. In this regards it differs to the dialect of that area slightly. Every person in that peer group has their own idiolect. Idiolect means a variety of language unique to an individual. It is manifested when that person chooses the word phrases or idioms which are unique to an individual. The idiolect you speak is influenced by many factors, for example the area you live in, where you are from and who is in your peer group. These could happen simultaneously which will make your idiolect even more unique. I believe that your idiolect is mainly changed by your geographical location. My idiolect has been changed drastically through the years I have been living. Even though I was born in the UK the first language I was taught was Farsi, this was minor setback however I was able to overcome this issue. As I was sent to school, I renovated this issue and I was able to distinguish both languages and I usually never had to code

"During Wind And Rain", "The Voice", "At Castle Boterel" make a detailed analysis of the three poems comparing their message.
Pre 1914 Poetry Thomas Hardy; "During Wind And Rain", "The Voice" "At Castle Boterel" Make A Detailed Analysis Of The Three Poems Comparing Their Message, Mood and Language and State Precisely What Are The Insights That Each Gives Into The Social, Cultural And Historical Background Of The Time Rebecca Simpson This essay will be about three poems written by Thomas Hardy, the poems were all written in the late 1800's and early 1900's and were written at the end of Thomas Hardy's life. The poems all go together quite well because they have the same sort of themes running through them. These poems al all very sad and have a Melancholy feel about them. They also look back to try and remember the happier times and try to forget the bad things that are going one now. None of these poems suggest a feel good factor, they suggest that his life is nearly over both in theses poems and also in real life they are too quiet depressing. Thomas Hardy was quiet obviously going through bad time when he wrote these poems and are reflection his emotion and mood very well. The poems show a great insight into their social, cultural and historical background, I think that Hardy wasn't trying to tell us things, but showing us what it was like for him in the time he lived. He was giving us a glimpse of what the pats was like, All of these poems are showing that the way people are
Materials - Metals.
Brendan King Materials Metals Metals tend to be hard and are usually quite strong. Metals are often used in sports equipment that needs to maintain its form and may come under a certain amount of impact or stress, for example the goal posts in rugby and football are made of metal bases, as are sprinters starting blocks. Ceramics Ceramic materials are usually quite brittle. They are not very often used in sports but can be found in the form of clay in sports such as clay pigeon shooting which requires the clay to explode when shot to indicate a `hit`. Polymers Polymers are usually found in sports in the form of rubber and plastic, these materials have a good degree of flexibility as well as a `memory` - the ability to withstand stress or impact and return to its original size or shape. Rubbers form the grip on many pieces of sporting equipment such as tennis rackets and weights, while plastics are found on equipment that requires lightweight flexibility such as studded boots where plastic in the form of PU provides the undersole material Composites Composites are a mix of two or more materials that provide different properties depending on which raw materials are used. For example one of the most commonly used in fibreglass which is of benefit as it combines the properties of strength and flexibility required. Fibreglass in found in many pieces of track and field

Base Details Base Details is a war poem written by Siegfried Sassoon in 1918. The year of 1918 was a crucial one in the First World War, and Base Details seeks to explore some of the bitterness and cruelty of the war era, expressed from the point of view of a common soldier. The poem consists of a single stanza, with ten lines. The rhyme scheme is pretty straight forward and consistent, utilising a standard "A,B,A,B" format throughout the poem. The stylistic devices used are, however, quite distinct. Unlike many poems, metaphors don't seem to play a vital part - in fact, the poem doesn't have a single metaphor. Instead, there's quite an excessive use of subjective adjectives, which greatly helps setting the tone and message of the poem. Most notable is perhaps how the author chooses to purposely understate serious issues, in order to suggest patriotic and sympathetic feelings for the reader. An example of such an understatement would be line 7 which says: "Yes we've lost heavily in this last scrap." "Scrap" in this context means "battle". However, we'd normally see "scrap" used in context with normal, unimportant fights, and even used as another term for "junk" or "garbage". This implies that the 'major' who articulates this line is obviously understating and fails to acknowledge the consequences, dramatic events, and horrors of the particular battle, thus making the
The House of the Spirits by Isabella Allende
The House of the Spirits by Isabella Allende August 29, 2005 Chapter 2, Page 58 "Now Esteban took the time to savor her fully and made sure that she felt pleasure too. He explored her slowly, learning by heart the smoky scent of her body and her clothes, which had been washed with ash and pressed with a coal-filled iron. He learned the texture of her straight, dark hair, of her skin that was soft in the most hidden places and rough and callused everywhere else, of her fresh lips, her tranquil sex, and her broad belly. He desired her calmly, initiating her into the most secret and most ancient of sciences. He was probably happy that night and the few nights after as the two of them cavorted like two puppies in the huge wrought-iron bed that belonged to the first Trueba and was now somewhat wobbly, although it still withstood the thrusts of love." Allende, throughout this short excerpt, has an overall tender tone toward Pancha and Esteban. She explains the compassion that the two haphazard lovers explore. Her style doesn't portray how Pancha feels during this interaction, which is a major reason why she is not a major character. Allende gives Esteban the power and actions in this passage. In the first line of the passage, "Now Esteban took the time to savor her fully," we see that the style of Allende has dramatically changed. She no longer portrays Esteban as a savage sex
Compare the portrayal of misfortune in The Last Night and Refugee Blues
Compare the portrayal of misfortune in The Last Night and Refugee Blues Both poems talk about the misery of the Jewish people being hunted down by the Nazi's for what they believe in. Refugee Blues focuses on the misfortune of being Jewish and provokes sympathy at their impossible situation. Similarly the Last Night also focuses on the innocence of the Jewish people; it shows two little boys in their last moments of freedom and shows how the misfortune of being in the wrong place at the wrong time would lead to their deaths. The portrayal of misfortune is initiated in Refugee Blues through both language and content. The poem is written to the tune of the Blues which initiates a thought of melancholy "say this city has ten million souls, Some are living in mansions, some are living in holes:" Like most Blues songs and poems it is written about a time of depression in the writers life and the tune helps the reader appreciate the situation of the poet W.H. Auden, who having been born a German Jew, has found that he has no where to live and his own country wants him dead; "Once we had a country and we thought It fair....we cannot go there now,". This characterises his misfortune, for he is being punished although innocent of crime. Similarly in The Last Night Sebastian Faulkes initiates the misfortune by highlighting the innocence of two boys' misfortune of being Jewish, as
