The Coldstream Guards were coming home to their peacetime home in Windsor barracks.
The mayor asked that the boys and girls of the various schools might line the streets in honour of the home-coming of the Coldstream Guards. He granted all the schools a half holiday (school closed at midday in consequence).
Absent by permission, having received an invitation to view the battle-ship 'Renown' at Portsmouth.
Sydney Spencer greatly admired his commanding officer, Captain Dillon.
My clothes are literally falling to pieces & my batman is going on strike if I don't soon do something about it. So here goes. Will you be sweet & send me my trousers & best tunic keeping the brass buttons on it as these brown buttons are an "anathema" in the regiment. Also the tunic will need Norfolk badges put on it if I remember. Don't send the old trousers but the new ones (they are of the same material as the tunic is barathia)!!!
I have sent so much kit home that things are getting almost to an indecent stage! And I simply refuse to continue this existence in breeches any longer! Also my pyjamas (the one pair I have have parted company in the middle, almost. In a day or two I am expecting to put them on one leg at a time! I have to do that always, but you know what I mean! It won't be funny much longer however. Also (patience darling, I hang on as long as possible & then ask for lots of things at once so as not to be continually worrying you), I need about 1 dozen dark collars size 14 ½, 6 handkerchiefs, 2 pairs of thin short pants & another thin shirt. Also (!!) my batman orders me to get at once some Proberts mahogany brown polish for my belt & boots. He nearly ticked me off yesterday because I hadn't written before!
Now to be pleasant & chatty. Since I wrote you I have moved about 30 miles. The best of it is that the flies here are about 75 % less than down where we were. Moving in this broiling weather is very fatiguing. But I keeps my pecker up & there is always something funny or incongruous to be amused or puzzled over. I wish I had time to write you sketches of French life as seen in these funny little villages. Some would amuse, some would make you sad, others not bearing the repeating, being of a nature that although highly amusing, are so essentially 'not done' in England, that they would leave you breathless.
When I tell you that there are practically no sanitary arrangements, & that all French cottages possess manure heaps (of which even Job himself could not complain) in their front gardens, you can imagine that [there are] times when life is not only embarrassing but precipitate.
I told you about my platoon being the winner of competitions in my last letter. My skipper – Capt. Dillon to boot – was very pleased as it brought credit on his company. By the way, he has a great love for Gold Flake cigarettes. Would you like just to please me to send him a tin, only putting your name on it, as sending them. He would be delighted & I could tell him they came from you afterwards.
He is such a splendid chap & I would like him to feel that I appreciated him & a tin of 100 gold flakes would please him immensely.
His address is the same as mine. Captain G Dillon MC, 7th Norfolks, BEF.
Got up at 6.30 & went down to the stream at the bottom of the garden, & had a splash in the cool cold water. On parade at 8 am & did an hour's march [in] full marching order. Then half an hour's PT & ½ hour's gas drill. Cut my foot slightly when bathing this morning. Having a rest surreptitiously on Dillon's bed. Feel very tired after yesterday.
Sydney Spencer's Sunday was a mix of attending church with the locals and sports with his platoon.
Had a glorious 'louze' [sic] in bed this morning until 8 am. After getting up so early lately it was strange to be able to lie in.
Took a gas parade at 10.15. Church Parade at 11.
At 12.15 heats for tug of war. No 6 platoon beat No. 5. No. 7 beat No. 8. At 4 pm No. 6 pulled No. 7 platoon, No. 6 winning, after losing the 1st pull.
After tea went to church with Kemp. French service was peculiarly noisy, all sorts of people continually moving & walking about. Little girls took the collection. An old man with a stick thumping vociferously on the floor with a heavy cane before them to remind us they were near us. Father Thompson dined with us.
In the evening after tea rode out to B- Y- with Dillworth & Dawkins a cheval [on horseback].
There was more glory for Sydney Spencer's platoon.
Last night we were informed that the platoon competition would be judged by the CO & Capt Shutes at 7.30 am this morning. So we had breakfast at 6.45 am, on parade by 7.15. My platoon came up to the scratch wonderfully, and after an hour's minute inspection by the CO & Shutes the CO said to me that my platoon was "easily the best". He told Dillon it was the cleanest platoon he had seen on parade in this Battalion.
After parade went to range & fired No. 24 rifle grenades with RB Sections. Got back at 10.15. Had some biscuit & cheese, & at 11 o'clock a 2 hour route march. It poured with rain& we got splashed unmercifully with chalk & mud!
After lunch I took my clothes off & tried to sleep, flies preventing it! After tea 'lazed' & made up accounts. Bed at 10.30 & read 'Masterman Ready'.
Sydney Spencer was frustrated by his men's lack of shooting prowess.
Got up at 6.30. Route march from 7.15 to 8.45. After breakfast rested & played the skipper at double patience. At 11.35 we paraded with company for the range. I took the rifle bombers. Tried the unbulleted round for firing rifle grenades. The bomb went almost as far as I expected it to! About 30 yards & that is being very generous! It is very difficult to get any accuracy from men at present. They don't seem to grip the idea altogether, of reckoning with wind, personal error, or the use of the gas check.
After parade, a lunch tea combined at 3.45. At 4.30 kit inspection. At 5.15 went with Dillon to Mappin terraces, & helped map out a scheme for a patrol with compasses. Saw my platoon about cleaning up for tomorrow.
Dinner at 7. Saw boxing competition. My observer won the bantam contest.
At 10.5 took out patrol. Very interesting & instructive. Hidden objects all found easily.
Sydney Spencer's unit practiced their technical skills behind the lines.
Got up at 6.45. Route march from 7.15 to 8.30. Dillon went to see tanks so that Dawkins was in charge of company. Parade at 10 am. My platoon did a stunt with Dawkins on a strong point watching an attack. By coincidence I worked the oracle in exactly the way he did, rifle section working down at side of the field, bombing section at corner of a copse, L Gunners on left. Remainder of morning in squad drill.
After lunch spent a long afternoon playing patience, & censoring letters. Likewise after tea I did not do a great deal. Managed to get a letter to Florence after a struggle. Her article in Punch has not appeared. It is called "Or Both". Went to bed fairly early tonight. These nights I get no time for reading so it takes me a long time to get to sleep!
Sydney Spencer had a nostalgic evening with old comrades.
We had an early parade this morning, consisting of a march which lasted till 8.50. Parades after that were of a more or less easy character, so leaving me a certain amount of time free for preparing a dinner for the CO this evening.
Most of my morning being free I went round trying to get all sorts of goodies, with varying success, at any rate when the CO & Adjutant came to dine at 8 pm we had a very nice dinner waiting for them. The CO was very tired & did not play cards, so we sat & talked. Principally, each subject started with 'D'you remember'! Tapley stayed till quite late.
Many officers were not far removed from their schooldays, so it is not really surprising that some of them behaved like children at times, as a relief from the horrors they witnessed.
As there are 6 officers sitting at the table & we have all sworn to put a penny in a tin mug for every sentence spoken, there is for the moment a few minutes silence while we letter write. Alas this scheme while I write is broken! Everyone is being ridiculous & writing comic messages on paper & passing them round for inspection. So fat there is only a penny in the cup & it was not I spoke. Good heavens what babes we are!
Yesterday I had a long ride round & saw some lovely country. Glorious fields of ripe or unripe corn interspersed with lurid bands of poppy & laughing stretches of blue cornflower & chicory. Last week I came through a large city, once one of the most lovely cities of France, now a vast loneliness, pathetic, terribly pathetic, gaunt streets with closed houses, looking out with blind eyes on a dead vista, long avenues of trees, on either side of deserted boulevards, a great lovely cathedral seen for miles, looking down on this sleeping city. And only a few weeks ago, this city was instinct with life. The horrors of war came upon it & now nothing of that which makes habitations sweet is left for the people are gone & the 'household Gods' are gone too. Nothing is left but the shell.
From miles back this city is seen lying in a laughing valley. The hills round it are clothed with swaying corn, long avenues of trees lead with almost an atmosphere of eagerness down into this city & seen from a distance the city with its warm tinted roofs & clustering streets looks instinct with life! And then to enter it! A pall, grey & pallid, seems to hang over it & sunshine seems to vanish.
No more time, am off on parade. Just to tease the officers I read a word or two of this high faluting stuff. Result absolute collapse of everyone.
Sydney was battling through his digestive issues – not to mention his self confidence.
As I had had a hard day yesterday, what with the reconnaissance & my indisposition, I did not attend the first parade but went to aid post & there obtained some castor oil for inspection uses.
Went on 9.45 parade. Did platoon training which included some interesting fire orders work. After lunch rested & censored letters.
At 5.15 gave a lecture to all NCOs on bombs, chiefly about the mills bomb. The NCOs do not seem to know a great deal about bombs. I hope I didn't bore them stiff. After the lecture there were no other parades.
Spent remainder of day in writing, playing patience etc. To bed fairly early. Feeling better after castor oil!
Hygiene was not always ideal, with the inevitable results.
When I got up today I found that I was suffering very uncomfortable things from my tummy. Probably it is the water or perhaps the plague of flies or a combination of both, helped considerably by foetid pools of water, the ubiquitous French Muck heap always in the front garden (!) & the bad sanitary conditions.
Morning parades fairly easy although the march rather tried me. After tea I concluded the day's performance by being violently sick & having other troubles. I had only a couple of cups of tea today and a slice of bread & butter so that I went to be feeling very cheap! Maddison, Knights & Nixon to dinner.
The heat was almost as troublesome as the enemy.
Got up at 7.30 am. Flies were a nuisance. Air raid on village during night, about a dozen bombs dropped. 1 soldier killed, 5 wounded. A good parade this morning from 9-12.30. Inspection, Platoon & Section drill, PT, & BF. Break ½ hour. Rifle grenadiers from 11.30-12.30. Company arms drill. Marched home. Censored letters after lunch. Another broiling hot day.
The weather & the flies are very trying. After tea I began to fret. I wonder whether the photographer would turn up to take the officers of the Battalion. We were all at the orderly room at 7.30, but as a storm intervened he did not come. So I was unmercifully ragged by the CO who thought that it was my bad French which had made the muddle!
Sydney Spencer and his men practiced tactics before meeting the locals.
All the servants were very late this morning & we were not called until 7.55. It meant a rush! At nine on parade. Did a good morning's work consisting of platoon drill, a very thorough inspection, I took the rifle bombers in cup discharge work, then we did a scheme from 11-1. Hervey took out his platoon to a hill with trenches. Kemp attacked. I was in reserve. A good example of how [sic] a good defensive position.
After lunch censored letters. Then went down to Kemp's billet & played on an atrocious piano. A mademoiselle charmante [charming young lady] spoke pretty broken English, & prettier French. Madame gave me some flowers. Spent a pleasant evening – a really decent one. Acted as interpreter for a photographer who took our drums. The village crier, a pale looking youth with plaintive voice demanded after beating his drum that we should declare the boites de foin [haystacks] gathered in during the [illegible] in the morning.
Sydney Spencer was busy preparing for a return to the trenches.
Flies – a scourge of them – woke me up at 5 am & gave me beaucoup d'ennui until 7.30. On parade by 9 am. Had a platoon inspection which lasted an hour. PT for ½ an hour, then got new SBRs, anti [dumming?] composition etc. Had a talk about men's rations etc. [Illegible] cleared up. Arranged for hair cutting. Got shoulder [illegible], water bottles covered etc, caps changed etc ad infinitum!
Returned to billet. Mended breeches. Got my surplus kit ready to send to Florence. Saw the men's dinners which were really bad today. We had lots of difficulties in getting water for cooking. Sanitary arrangements in village filthy. Result a horrible plague of flies. The French here seem pleased with us & treat us more courteously than those further north.
Looked round my platoon in afternoon & rested most of evening. There was a fear of our being turned out by N. Hants but this did not come off.
Sydney Spencer was cautious about revealing place names in his diary in case of capture by the enemy, but it is clear that he was now at Arras, whose cathedral was severely damaged by German bombs.
12.45 A..s a ruined city from the point of view of inhabitants. A fine cathedral. A city of silence. Left A-s at 1.15. D-y at 1.20. Now lying on road between D & St- awaiting orders. It is now 4.15 pm.
Got into village of "Holy Refuge" at 5.30. Saw men into billets. Found officers' mess no. 38 'La Route de Paris'. Dawkins & I found a bed at no. 39. Mounted guard at 7 pm. Conference at 7.30 pm. Had dinner at 8.15. Saw staff parade at 9.30.
Lights out at 10. Turned guard out at 10.45, & then to bed. Had a bed to sleep on but flies were a great nuisance. Dawkins & I in same bed.
It was a red letter day for Sydney.
Have had my commission 3 years today.
So I have had my three years commission today! & only 95 days in France, woe is me!
Had a delicious night's sleep & got up at night. A big barrage seemed to have been put up on the left front from 7-4. First parade at 11.30. Men fairly clean but Rolfe rightly found many faults. After lunch Dawkins & I started out for D-ns.
We are now on crossroads to T-s. Here we got hold of an ambulance lorry which took us to Doullens, then we had a right royal time buying stuff for mess, other officers & stuff for our platoon. Tea at officers rest house. EFC could not supply us with anything we wanted.
Had dinner with two NZ Majors at EFC Club. They got great fun out of the London waiter who was shocked at their asking for a 'follows' as he called it. Lorry jumped back & got back at 11.


"We were happy to back both sides to score in the first leg and expect another open and entertaining encounter this time around."
Juventus expect to be close to full strength. Manager Max Allegri rested several first-teamers for Juve's 2-1 defeat at SPAL on Saturday.
Ajax midfielder Frenkie De Jong is an injury doubt. He was taken off as a precaution in the first-half of Ajax's 6-2 win over Excelsior at the weekend after feeling a minor hamstring problem. Otherwise the visitors will be close to full strength.
It's difficult to argue with the fact that Juventus are odds-on favourites to win the second leg in Turin on Tuesday night even though the first leg ended in a 1-1 draw. Juventus' greater European experience and pedigree cannot be overlooked as the two sides go head-to-head for a place in the semi-finals. Juventus are [1.75] to win on the night, with Ajax [5.7] and The Draw [3.95].
Travelling abroad will hold no fears for Ajax after their stunning 4-1 second-leg win over Real Madrid in the Spanish capital in the previous round. But Juventus can call upon memories of their remarkable 3-0 second-leg win over Atletico Madrid - overturning a 2-0 first-leg deficit - that they produced in order to claim their place in the last eight.
Ajax have thrilled and entertained in getting this far, but Juventus' know-how and will to win ought to come to the fore this week. Cristiano Ronaldo is on a personal mission to claim this trophy with the Serie A giants having already collected winners' medals with Real and Manchester United, and his presence alone may end up being the difference between the teams.
If the odds-on price on a Juventus win on the night is too short for you, consider backing the hosts on the Asian Handicap (details of how Asian Handicap betting works are here). La Vecchia Signora are available at around evens with a -0.5&-1.0 start. With this selection you'll make a small profit if Juventus win in 90 minutes by one goal and a bigger profit if they win by two or more goals.
We were happy to back 'Yes' in the Both Teams to Score? market in the first leg last week and confidently expect an open and entertaining encounter this time around as well. Both teams have been more impressive offensively than defensively in this season's competition and that's likely to become apparent once again as the game unfolds.
Ajax have to score at least once to stand any chance of going through. This state of play may not encourage the visitors to attack from the outset but at some stage they'll almost certainly have to take risks to keep alive their hopes of progressing in the competition. Juventus are comfortable with or without the ball and will be confident they have the firepower in their starting line-up and on their substitutes' bench to cause Ajax's back line considerable problems throughout the 90 minutes.
Over 2.5 Goals is [1.9], with Unders [2.08]. Given the relative strengths and weaknesses of the two sides, and the manner in which the game is likely to unfold, we're happy to back the shorter of these two options.


I've been thinking and writing a lot about goal setting lately. I don't know if it's because we're coming to the end of the year and I've been reflecting on the goals I set for myself, or because it will soon be time to create goals for the new year.
One question I get asked a lot is how I stay motivated.
Sometimes staying motivated is easier than other times. Waning motivation while working towards a goal is a natural experience.
But don't worry, friend! There are ways you can avoid complete burnout and stay motivated as you work towards your goals.
When I feel my motivation slipping, there are certain things I do that help me get back on track.
So today I'm sharing tips to help you stay motivated to achieve your goals. These are techniques that help me stay consistent and ahead of those dips in motivation.
Every day when I sit down at my desk, I write down my goals. I have a list of about 10 goals I re-write every day. This includes goals like "work out 3 days a week" or "publish X amount of posts this month". Writing them down every day focuses my intention on those goals and helps me to connect to them.
When I let this practice slide, which happens because I am not perfect, I also find that my attention and motivation towards my goals begin to slip.
When I feel my motivation going down, I re-read my goals from previous days or weeks. Sometimes, I've already achieved some of those goals. Seeing that achievement, along with re-writing my goals, often gives me the boost I need to get back on track to meet my goals.
Sometimes our goals can become overwhelming as we work towards them. This can be extremely discouraging.
If you're feeling discouraged or overwhelmed, examine your goal and see if there is a way you can break the goal down. Perhaps your larger goal can be broken down into 3 or 4 smaller goals.
For example, one of my goals is to make a certain income from my writing. That goal is huge and include lots of tasks that go towards achieving that goal. So I've broken that goal into smaller goals. I prioritize those smaller goals and I concentrate on a just a few at a time.
Sometimes when we start to burnout or become less motivated, it's because the fire that fueled us to want to achieve that goal has been dimmed. This is when you need to reconnect with why you made that goal.
Here is a simple exercise to help you reconnect with your why for a goal you have set. Sit somewhere quiet and away from any distractions. Close your eyes and think about what it would feel like to achieve that goal. Try to really fee" what achieving the goal would be like. Visualize that achievement in as much detail as you can.
Surrounding yourself with positive people or people with similar goals is an important way to stay motivated. These people may be in real-life or in online groups where you connect with others trying to reach the same goals.
If there are people in your life that are unsupportive of your goals, keep your distance from them. I don't mean don't talk to them or cut them out of your life (though sometimes this may be necessary). I mean just don't share progress or accomplishments with them. Find others that will cheer you on and high five you every time you lose a pound or save $100 in your emergency fund.
Remember that success is built on setbacks and failures. Expecting that there will be bumps along the way will lessen the blow when something comes up. Instead of getting down on yourself for failing, approach the setback as a lesson. What did you learn from the experience? What could you have done better?
Always celebrate your accomplishments, no matter how big or how small.
By celebrating all your accomplishments you give yourself that extra little boost to keep you moving forward.
Sometimes when my motivation is waning, I will stop the Pitty party and ask myself what I have already accomplished. I'll remind myself of each small win. This change in focus has helped me countless times to get over a funk and refocus on moving towards my goals.
While leaning on others and finding a support group is a great way to stay motivated, make sure you don't get caught up comparing yourself to others working towards the same goals. Usually the comparison game comes up through social media. If this is the case for you, it might be time to hide certain friends on Facebook or Instagram.
Remember: Everybody achieves their goals in different ways and at different times. Stay in your lane. Focus on your achievements and the way you want to achieve your goal and you will find greater success.
Check out these articles for more tips to skyrocket your productivity and increase your motivation!
My husband and I recently went to a community event during which connecting with your why was the focus. We came out of that realizing we need to make this clear in our lives and now that I am reading it here, I need to really get on it.
It's so important not to only know what your why is but really connect with it. I find that as soon as I refocus on my why, my productivity increases and I get so motivated to keep pushing.
These are great tips. As I review my year I realize I don't acknowledge my accomplishments near enough. One of my 2019 goals is to give myself more credit. I also love looking at the big goal and breaking it down into smaller goals.
I like your idea of rewriting your big goals every day. I tend to write them once at the beginning of the month but I'll be honest that I don't look at them daily.
I used to do the same but I realized that my goals were just in the back of my mind rather than front and center. This one change has made a big difference in my motivation!
These are great tips! I admit, I am horrible at writing my goals down! I know all the benefits and I know it would keep me on track but yet I never do. So I am going to make it a goal (Ha!) to write down my goals and be more focused on them in 2019! I have a whiteboard so I am going to use it for that!!
I love the idea of having your goals on a whiteboard! I may have to borrow this idea.
It's so easy to fall into the comparison trap! But it's so much better for us if we keep our blinders on and push toward our own goal!
This is such a tricky one. Especially with all the media we consume every day. I find this happens to me sometimes. Whenever I catch myself comparing and getting down on myself, I simply think to myself "that is wonderful that person has accomplished so much and I wish them continued success. But my journey is different and unique and I WILL achieve all my goals". It seems to do the trick!
I need to get into the habit of writing my goals down EVERY DAY. This will definitely help keep me motivated. The other stuff I'm pretty on top of but could always use a little more consistency. Thanks so much for sharing!
Consistency can be tricky. I always feel like when I "fall off the wagon" and let these practices slip that my motivation also starts slipping!
So many great tips! I have started to write down my goals for the year, but I love the idea of writing goals daily as a way to help me work towards my bigger goals.
These are really awesome tips! I'm currently focusing on how to celebrate accomplishments. It seems silly that this is so hard for me, but it's something I struggle with.
Jenna, you are not alone! I also tend to focus on what more I could and should be doing rather than all the accomplishments. When I need to get motivated I top myself and list everything I HAVE accomplished and it's usually much more than I think!
Love the advice given here. Especially the part about not comparing…so important! Tweeting to share.
I really enjoyed this post. I will definitely start celebrating my little wins. That is something I never do because I feel like they are really nothing huge to celebrate lol. Thank you for this and I hope to see more awesome content from you.
Thanks for your kind words Rumi! Every win is worth celebrating and those small wins build a mountain of success!

An internship with the Orlando Magic is incredibly valuable to a student or graduate who is looking to enter the Sports Management field. Our interns attend meetings, plan events, and work Orlando Magic home games. Orlando Magic interns assist with game presentations, press conferences, sponsorship activation, and many other important responsibilities based on the department in which they work.
We also provide networking opportunities, resume, and interview skill training, and hold monthly meetings titled "College of Knowledge," which are held for interns only. We bring in a different member of our Leadership team to speak to the interns, tell them how they climbed the Sports industry ladder, and answer any of their questions. It is a great opportunity for students to get in front of our Directors and Vice Presidents, and even our COO and General Manager.
Please Describe the Type of Internships That Are Available With Orlando Magic
We hire summer and season interns. Our summer interns work three months in our off-season and help the organization prepare for the upcoming season. Our season interns work a full nine months and are able to work home games at the Amway Arena.
Both summer and season internships are full time. We offer internships in a variety of departments, including; Arena Operations, Basketball Operations, Broadcasting, Business Strategy, Communications, Community Relations, Corporate Partnerships, Interactive Marketing, Graphic Design, Information Technology, Marketing, Orlando Magic Youth Foundation, Season Ticket Services & Operations, Strength & Conditioning, and Ticket Sales.
Approximately How Many Interns Does Orlando Magic Hire Each Year
The Orlando Magic normally hires about 15 interns for the summer timeframe and approximately 25 interns for the season.
Approximately How Many Interns Does Orlando Magic Hire on as Full-Time Employees
This is actually a great fact that I love to share with prospective interns. Out of the 160 full-time employees the Orlando Magic currently has, approximately 55 of them started out as interns with the Orlando Magic. We take great pride in that fact. If an intern comes into the Magic with a great attitude and hard work ethic, they will get noticed.
An internship does not guarantee anyone a full-time position, but if a position does open up while an intern is there and they have done a great job, they will have a huge advantage over external candidates. We keep all former interns e-mail addresses in our Alumni distribution list, and we keep them posted via email on all job opportunities that arise.
What Advice Would You Give Students Who Are Interested in a Career in Sports
Volunteer, volunteer, volunteer!! Most schools have athletic departments, and even if you are a ticket taker or a customer service rep, having that experience on your resume will put you above someone who doesn't. Spend a summer working for a minor league team or become a team manager for any one of your school's teams.
Get as involved as possible in sports as you can, and try to pick an aspect of it that you are interested in. If you are interested in the sales side, then work with your college's ticket office. If you're interested in marketing, volunteer to help out at football or basketball games. Even if you're not getting paid, that experience will be priceless. Many professional sports teams also have game night or day positions, which are great for students because of the flexible hours.
Are There Any Specific Majors That Would Prepare Students for a Career
Many big schools are now offering Sport Management majors or minors, and that is a great way to learn about the industry. When I look at resumes, I look more at the experience than the major.
What Does Orlando Magic Look for When Interviewing Interns and Employees
We look for someone who is hard working and passionate about sports. When you work in Sports, you do not work the typical 9-5 day. There are days when you work 12-15 hours based on the game schedule, and we look for someone who is passionate enough about sports to love those long days! We normally receive about 100 resumes for each internship we offer, and I normally interview approximately 10 of those candidates for each internship.
The things that impress me most in those interviews are people who are focused, have done their research on the Magic, and are excited about the opportunity. Candidates who are applying for an internship in the exact area they want to work in in the future is great as well, as that shows they have goals and they might be a good full-time candidate down the line.
What Personal Attributes and Experiences Does Orlando Magic Seek in Their Job Applicants
We look for positive people with great attitudes who will fit into our culture. They need to have strong goals and the work ethic to reach those goals. Since we have internships in several different areas, candidates who have specific experience, whether it be in a club, volunteering, part or full-time positions in the specific area they are applying for, will really stand out.
How Can College Students Prepare Themselves for a Career in the Sports Industry
Volunteering and getting that experience is the most important thing. Many schools have groups or clubs that students can be involved with as well. If there's a professional or minor league team in their area, I would recommend getting to know people in the organization and making those contacts as early as possible, which could include volunteering with the team or working part time while in school.
Also, most Career Services Offices at colleges and universities across the country are a great place to go for information as well. We post all our internships with all the schools in Florida, as well as many schools throughout the country. All Orlando Magic Internships are posted online.

GRASS Grows this Summer
30/07/2021 30/07/2021 Simon Bell
GRASS are thrilled to announce that The Oval Bandstand & Lawns entered community ownership on Thursday 8th July, 2021! The freehold was transferred to GRASS Cliftonville CIC from Thanet District Council, which means the site and associated buildings are now owned and managed by our not-for-profit community organisation.
Local people have always felt a sense of ownership over this site, with individuals and community groups acting as informal custodians over the years. Now, with the legal completion of the Community Asset Transfer, the central role of The Oval Bandstand & Lawns in our vibrant community has been strengthened. This important change will help GRASS to attract grant funding and allow us to upgrade facilities at the site so that it can play an even bigger part in community life.
The challenge of concluding this transfer was heightened by the ongoing pandemic. It has taken tenacity, sleepless nights, strong partnerships, and a collective vision, to reach this milestone moment which promises to release the huge potential this attraction has to help buttress the growing Cliftonville coastal economy.
The Oval Bandstand is a not-for-profit social enterprise, which means it will be a self-sustaining community events space generating revenue from the café and events, as well as donations, and 100% of that money will go back into the running of the site. We look forward to bringing immediate employment opportunities, training, and a vibrant community hub located at the heart of Cliftonville.
As its efforts to protect and enhance The Oval are redoubled, the CIC looks forward to collaborating with heritage partners, interested groups, stakeholders, and, most importantly, local residents.
We would like to say thank you to all our local councillors, our partners at Thanet District Council, The National Lottery Community Fund, and to everyone who continues to support us. The local community has shown an immense amount of support and generosity in their donations through our hugely successful Crowdfunder campaign, and this must be applauded publicly.
If anyone would like to get in touch to ask questions, suggest projects, or donate money, the group's website grasscliftonville.org has a contact page, details about the CIC, and lots of information on our exciting plans for The Oval Bandstand and Lawns.
We are delighted to complete the transfer of the ownership of the land and surrounding buildings to GRASS Cliftonville. The Council is certain that GRASS and the local community will make full use of the asset to protect its future and develop the range of facilities and services provided on site. We wish them every success in their future ventures.
Councillor David Saunders, Cabinet Member for Finance at Thanet District Council
GRASS Membership
Becoming a member of GRASS is a meaningful way of having a say on issues that affect your area. We talk to our members to gather their views on what matters most to them about living in Cliftonville, and use those opinions to guide the community work GRASS undertakes.
Becoming a member ensures you will be kept informed of our work and what's going on within the GRASS area, and the wider Cliftonville community.
Membership is open to all Margate residents who are over 16 years of age and who are interested in the improvement of the area. Membership is FREE, and you can be involved as much, or as little, as you like.

A Housewife is the Genius Behind the First Mobile Salon in the Country
Extraordinail's Luxury On Wheels is ideal for people who have no time to visit a salon for their nail care needs
by Janaeka Sam Navalta for Entrepreneur.com.ph . Dec 17, 2017
Veronica Resurreccion already owned a traditional nail salon prior to opening Extraordinail's Luxury On Wheels mobile nail salon
The horrendous traffic situation in Metro Manila led Veronica Resurreccion to open a new nail salon concept. Opened in June 2017, Extraordinail's Luxury On Wheels is the first and only mobile nail salon in the Philippines.
Designed to cater to people who have no time to drop by a salon for their manicure-pedicure, Luxury On Wheels is also for clients who wish to get professional nail services done in a safe and secure location.
To further ensure the quality of the beauty and nail specialist's work, along with the security of the guest's belongings, the luxury bus is installed with CCTV cameras.
Resurreccion was also inspired to open the business after her own experience of getting a mani-pedi service in her own home and finding out later that her wedding ring had been stolen. When she asked for her ring back, she was instead given a pawnshop receipt.
"We are after your security as well that's why we came up with this concept," she told Entrepreneur Philippines. "At least we just park outside your house, you come out, we do your nails and you can go back to your place."
Luxury on Wheels is the first of its kind in the country
The full-time entrepreneur started in the beauty services business in 2014 when she opened her first nail salon called Extraordinail in a 54-square-meter space in Greenhills, San Juan. The success of the enterprise allowed her to open another branch at the Tomas Morato Ave. food hub in Quezon City the following year. She hopes to add at least two or more branches in 2018.
Resurreccion said she has regular clients who come all the way from places outside Metro Manila like Baguio and Batangas. "I've even had customers flying in from Cebu to avail of our services," she added. "The demand from these clients gave me the idea for a mobile nail salon, so they would not need to travel far. We will now be able to go to them," Veronica explains.
Luxury on Wheels offers complete mani-pedi services in a customized modern interior. Clients are serviced by experienced and professional staff in an air-conditioned environment with plush reclining chairs, Wi-Fi access, high-definition TV and a high-quality sound system.
In addition to their mani-pedi services, clients can also request for a neck massage. Luxury on Wheels also offers other beauty and skin services like a gluta-drip and a luxe facial treatment.
To ensure that her beauty and nail specialists are always in their element as they work on clients, her nail technicians are given specific tasks. "I have someone who does all the cleaning, someone to put in the extensions and then someone else who specializes in the nail art," Resurreccion explained. "This way, the staff who creates the art is not tired from working on the nail basics and can therefore be more creative."

The mobile nail salon offers everything from basic nail cleaning and pampering services to fancy nail art. Some designs can even incorporate Swarovski crystals for some extra sparkle and dazzle.
"I don't want you to go to a party with the same nails as other celebrities or guests," she said. "I want you to look different. That's why we don't have any swatches. Once you come in, you give us the colors and my nail specialists would help them to build on that design to come up with something that is their own. We consult and confer until the client is happy with the choice of design."
The bus is also available for special occasions such as a spa party for birthday celebrations or bridal showers. Booking fees start at Php1,500 to Php2,000 for home service with free light snacks (such as chips) and unlimited wine on board.
Resurreccion said she invested about Php3 million for her luxury bus. When asked about the advantages of her mobile nail salon compared to traditional salon, she explained that it's cheaper to operate the former. Whereas in a traditional salon, you would need to pay anywhere from Php80,000 to as much as Php120,000 a month in rent, her mobile nail salon only needs gas which costs around Php300-Php600 a day.
According to Resurreccion, Luxury On Wheels is now open for franchising for her loyal clients particularly those living in fast-growing provinces such as Laguna, Pampanga and Cebu. The cost of the franchise package starts at Php5.2 million.
Clients can book Luxury on Wheels bus for private events such as spa parties for birthday celebrations or bridal showers
Since launching in the middle of the year, Luxury On Wheels already has had a full schedule stretching to the end of the year and early 2018. Resurreccion said she is keen on growing the business by adding more buses in order to cater to more clients in more areas around the city.

z is a positive integer and multiple of 2; p = 4z, what is the remainder when p is divided by 10?
It is also essential to remember that the z is a positive integer and multiple of 2. Any integer that is a multiple of 2 is an even number. So, z must be a positive even integer.
With these two observations, the question can be simplified to: "what is the units digit of 4 raised to an even positive integer?"
There is a clear pattern regarding the units digit. 4 raised to any odd integer has a units digit of 4 while 4 raised to any even integer has a units digit of 6.
Since z must be an even integer, the units digit of p=4z will always be 6. Consequently, the remainder when p=4z is divided by 10 will always be 6.

Liverpool troubadour Neville Skelly is like a speck on the horizon as he takes to the stage of The Lowry's Lyric Theatre. Bagging last-minute tickets to The Coral's sell-out gig was a bonus, but it's a bit of a strain on the old 20/20 from the back row of the upper tier.
Skelly – cousin of Coral frontman James Skelly – is on early doors in a line-up that also includes Manchester's Cherry Ghost, so the crowd are only just filtering in as he starts to perform.
Dressed down in denim shirt, shades and a striking pair of camel brown winklepickers, the singer's appearance mirrors his relaxed, easy style.
As soon as Skelly's rich vocals beam out from the crystal clear sound system, I settle back into my comfy chair and let the music wash over me. Taken from his latest album, Poet & The Dreamer, the tunes are strangely perfect for the half empty auditorium. Rather than straining, I close my eyes and the mellow Americana fires my imagination, acting like a soundtrack as I coast along an empty Wild West highway in an open-top Caddy at dusk (beats Salford on a drizzly Saturday night).
Skelly's voice drifts languidly up the scale, from bass to falsetto, dancing around the rhythm laid down by David Bob Picken on double bass, and tickled by the slide guitar of Edgar Jones' brilliant guitarist, Jamie Backhouse.
The majority of the seven songs are taken from the new album, penned with a little help from his Coral cousin. There is only a vague resemblance to the psychedelic scallies' back catalogue. Neville's style is more chanson than hallucinogenic, honed from a record collection weighted towards jazz and country greats.
His finale includes Dion and Woodie Guthrie covers, but the stand-out tracks are Skelly's own creations – Brambles And Heather, Will She Hold Another and Child in the Morning.
Poet & The Dreamer is available now through his website, www.nevilleskelly.com. Child in the Morning will be released on EP on Monday, July 26, with the official launch at Liverpool's Zanzibar Club on Saturday, July 31.

Elisha Carpenter (January 14, 1824 – March 22, 1897) was a Connecticut attorney and politician who served as a justice of the Connecticut Supreme Court from 1866 to 1894.

Early life, education, and career
Born in Ashford (in the portion which later became Eastford, Windham County, Connecticut), to Uriah B. Carpenter and Marcia Carpenter (née Scarborough), Carpenter's father was a farmer in moderate circumstances, but was much respected in the community, and entrusted with its most important public offices. Carpenter was his fourth son. He was brought up on his father's farm and divided his time between farm labor and study.

He was educated, by his own efforts, in the public schools and at the Ellington Academy. At the age of seventeen he became a school teacher, and continued to teach school at intervals for seven years. He intended to go to college, but after circumstances prevented that from happening, he undertook to read law, first with Frederick Hovey for short time at Eastford, and then in 1844 in the office of Jonathan A. Welch of Brooklyn, Connecticut. In 1846 was admitted to the bar in Windham County, Connecticut.

Legal and political career
In March 1851, he moved to Danielsonville (now Danielson, Connecticut) in the same county. In that year he was appointed state's attorney for Windham County, and held the office for one year, and by a later appointment from 1854 until 1861. In 1857 and 1858 he represented the fourteenth district in the Connecticut Senate, serving as President pro tempore of the Connecticut Senate. At the opening of the Civil War in 1861 he was a member of the Connecticut House of Representatives, and as chairman of the Committee on Military Affairs, he "rendered valuable service to the Union cause".

Judicial career
In 1861, the legislature elected Carpenter a judge of the Superior Court, to succeed Judge Butler who was promoted to the Supreme Court. Soon after this appointment, Carpenter moved to Wethersfield, Connecticut. In 1865 he was elected to the Supreme Court, to fill the vacancy created by the retirement of Henry Dutton, taking his seat in February 1866.

Carpenter's career on the Supreme Court was identified in an unusual manner with public interests. He wrote a noted opinion in case on boycotts, which "defined the rights of the workingman so clearly that there has been no controversy with regard to the matter since". The opinion of the court relative to the forfeiture of wages in case of a violation of contract, was also prepared by him. He was also prominent in secret ballot and quo warranto decisions, and in those in support of the property rights of married women.

Carpenter was re-elected to the Supreme Court judgeship for three successive terms of eight years each, including the fraction of a term preceding his retirement under the constitutional limitation as to age. In April 1889, when Chief Justice Park retired, it was widely expected that Carpenter, being the senior judge then serving, would be made chief justice. However, Governor Bulkeley instead tendered the nomination to two other leading lawyers, not on the court, both of whom declined it. Bulkeley then offered it to Superior Court judge Charles B. Andrews, who accepted it "only when it became certain that it would not be given to Judge Carpenter". Although Bulkeley renominated Carpenter for continued service as an associate justice, Carpenter "felt what he regarded as the injustice done him very keenly and never got over it". Carpenter reached the mandatory retirement age one month short of twenty-eight years of continuous service upon that court, making over thirty-two years of judicial life. For twenty-three years previous to 1889 he was the youngest man on the court. He was also a member of the state board of education from its organization in 1865 to 1883. For several years he served on the state board of pardons. On his retirement as judge he was appointed a state referee by the legislature, with a salary for life of $2,000 a year. Upon leaving the bench he resumed the practice of law, and entered into partnership with Frank B. Williams, in Hartford.

Personal life
In 1854, Carpenter married Harriet G. Brown. She died in 1874, leaving three daughters and one son. The son died in 1879 at age eighteen.

Carpenter remarried to Sophia Tyler Cowen in 1876, and they had two children.

Throughout his life, Carpenter was an active church member in the Congregational denomination, a teacher in its Sabbath schools, and for many years a deacon in the Asylum Hill Congregational Church. During his long tenure on the Supreme Court, Carpenter moved to Hartford, Connecticut, where he remained for over twenty years.

Sometime around 1882, Carpenter suffered a shock of paralysis which left him with a permanent lameness, but from which he wholly recovered in all other respects. In January 1895, he slipped upon the ice and broke his hip, and had another fall in his room after he had begun to recover. He lived for two years after that, although he continued to suffer the effects of these injuries until his death on March 22, 1897. Carpenter's daughters survived him.

The newly-formed Asset Recovery Unit has launched a probe into the properties and assets owned by Pakistanis residing abroad, according to Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Accountability Mirza Shahzad Akbar.
Speaking at a joint news conference with Information Minister Fawad Chaudhary on Friday, Akbar said that members of the unit had been selected. He said the unit had so far received details of more than 10,000 properties, most of which were in Dubai and England.
The PM's special assistant said the list of asset owners had been divided into two portions: one for politically-exposed persons and the other for other persons. These cases, he added, would be investigated by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) and the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA).
Akbar said the unit would submit a progress report in the Supreme Court every fortnight.
The attorney general, he said, had prepared a draft of a new law for curbing money laundering and it would be presented before the federal cabinet in its next meeting.
The government, he said, was also working on a treaty with Switzerland for obtaining information about Swiss accounts. He alleged that former finance minister Ishaq Dar was not too keen on the recovery of the money parked in Swiss accounts.
The PM's special assistant told reporters that former Punjab CM Shehbaz Sharif and his family would be billed for using the prime minister's helicopter. He said the government would investigate all those whose names had been mentioned in the Panama Papers.
Referring to the Supreme Court's notice to Prime Minister Imran Khan in the Bani Gala encroachment case, Fawad said this was a positive thing that even the prime minister had been made accountable.
He said that notices had also been served on 157 people who did not file tax returns.
He said attracting foreign investment, facilitating businessmen and mounting a crackdown on corruption were central to the government's economic policy.
Reiterating that Senator Mushahidullah Khan had received medical treatment for which Rs10 million had been paid out of the national airline's accounts, the information minister said that an inter-departmental inquiry had been launched to probe into the misuse of power by government officials.


The purpose of this article is to familiarize the reader with Environmental Psychology, its major theories and its application in actual. Arguably the one means the information technology industry can go is up. IT associated skills like trouble capturing, operating, networking and even repairing computers are on the rise as more people turn out to be pc savvy. I am at present a UOP scholar with 4 courses to go to complete my BS. I am concerned with how my diploma will probably be acquired, due to this fact I am transferring to a conventional college for my Masters. Top MBA packages have such a formidable community of alumni and internship partners that it is completely achievable to get a profession-observe position with one of many world's greatest multinational firms.
This diploma is designed to arrange educators to step up into leadership roles within the K-12 college programs. I would counsel that the identical is true in most situations with business faculty and masters degrees in plenty of technology-centered fields. Coursework consists of classes focusing on business administration, personnel administration, cultural range, educational law and coverage, learning and evaluation. Even with a General Studies degree you can nonetheless gain admission to a Masters program. Education in Denmark is world-extensive, and in Scandinavia, recognized for its prime quality.
Usually employers who know least about on-line education and learning are essentially the most skeptical but the extra they discovered, researchers discovered, the more snug they were" with online degrees (Carnevale, 2007). Fortunately for you, schooling lecturers arе іn ѕuch excessive demand that yоu have mаnу opportunities fоr funding and grant money tо assist pay for уour Master's diploma in Special Education. The MA Education is a singular modular programme of study designed to mirror the needs of individuals or organisational cohorts.
Its the government authorities and employers who are selling out American jobs to foreigners, whether or not via immigration, both authorized and unlawful, and outsourcing jobs. I reviewed a few of the feedback about having to place in all this work with UOP I simply completed an internet couse and there was no distinction I myself I had put in 3-four hrs a day and analysis and skim and write papers so its just no the UOP that's doing this.
To study for this masters diploma course you will need to maintain a bachelors degree from a UK university or different recognised diploma-awarding body, or a qualification at equivalent stage. In most circumstances, changing into a criminal justice professor requires a mixture of training and expertise within the field. One of the nice things about the advanced education is that most of the mentors are teachers throughout the program. Lindenwood University's training degree places emphasis in instructional expertise.

this is the square crater again, with some vertex manipulation to make it seem more random and natural. select the entire crater, go to vertex manipulation mode, then drag and select all the vertices you'd like to move, i'd start with one vertex at a time, instead of a whole bunch. then just slowly disfigure the neat square into a silly bunch of weird triangles, and make sure it all lines up well in the 3d view.
this is the slightly complex crater, with vertex manipulation methods applied.
This tutorial inspired me to make my first map, it is the one that started it all.
Is the N texture a nodraw texture? And if it is, what's it called?
Yes it is. It is called null. Part of zhlt.wad. Make sure you add that texture in Hammer. The wad file should come with your compile tools.

Police + Fire
Statistics reveal recorded crime has increased 18 per cent in the last year
Deputy Mayor of Greater Manchester Beverley Hughes said: "We know that Greater Manchester is a challenging area to police and since being appointed to oversee police and crime I have been working closely with Mayor of Greater Manchester Andy Burnham to plan for the future to make improvements across our 10 boroughs.
"The latest Home Office figures announced will cause concern to local communities, as they do for me. More complex crimes, such as sexual and violent crime, continue to put pressure on a police service that has become dangerously overstretched.
"I reiterate the Mayor's call to the Prime Minister for more resources for Greater Manchester Police and our other emergency and public services. In Greater Manchester alone we have 2,000 fewer police officers patrolling our streets. This level of pressure cannot be sustained.
"The Mayor, the Chief Constable and I will continue to work to make our communities safer and stronger. But the reality is we need Government to take action and put a stop to the cuts before our police service becomes unviable."
Home Office statistics released on Thursday, July 20, 2017, can be found here and highlight increases in the following areas in Greater Manchester:
Violence against a person – 29 per cent increase
Sexual offences – 17 per cent increase
Burglary – 8 per cent increase
Robbery – 32 per cent increase
Theft offences – 8 per cent increase
Vehicle crime – 7 per cent increase
Shoplifting – 6 per cent increase
