Night Op
Night Op Last week in Corp we packed all the bags and got them ready to be collected making sure we had everything we needed. When we got down to the armoury, the sun was shining and everyone had a smile on there face, it was night op and we were looking forward to it and hoping for a really good time. All we had to do on Sunday afternoon was collect a bag, and get on the bus, wasn't difficult, well you wouldn't have thought that I was anyway, but some people did! "2 Platoons on each bus!" Mr Lawrence's' voice powered above the rest of the chit-chat of A-Coy and the NCOs. We got the comfy double-decker bus! Sitting at the front on the top was fantastic; some said it felt like being on a rollercoaster because it was just a big window in front of us! Everyone had bought a massive supply of sweets (because according to last year's A-Coy the rations weren't to appetizing!) but you wouldn't have thought we'd bought so many that there'd still be loads left when we got off the bus! They were being shared and eaten by the whole bus. When we arrived it was what I thought it would be. I didn't realise it was a proper army camp! The buses drove us a fair way through the camp before finally stopping and letting us get off. All the bags were pulled out of the bus storage and there was pushing and shoving for people to find their own. Once all the bags were with their
Duke of Edinburugh's Silver award - Expedition Log Book.
Purposes For The Expedition I had several purposes for this expedition. My first was to improve on my map and navigation skills as, although I did know how to navigate, I had never really put it into practice because I had always been in groups with a definite map reader however, this time, we did not and so I wanted to get involved with navigation. My second purpose was to get to know Laura better. I have spent a large amount of time with Mia, Erin and Frankie before however, I had never really spoken to Laura before and I think one of the best things about D of E is getting to know people you didn't know before. By the end of the expedition I knew a lot more about Laura and the others. My third purpose was to improve at walking long distances as I find this very difficult because I am very unfit! Having done a gold practice before, I was hoping that I wouldn't find this too much of a challenge but I still found it quite tough at some points, like when walking up Phen-y-Ghent! I was very pleased that I could keep up with the group as in the past I haven't been able to so, during the course of my practices I must have improved! My final purpose was research for the project I am doing which is 'Tourism in The Yorkshire Dales.' I chose this project because I am interested in the way that tourism can affect an area like this and what places like the Yorkshire Dales have
Algebra Coursework (payphone problem).
Algebra Coursework (payphone problem) Introduction A pay phone will take only 10p, 20p, 50p, and £1 coins. A woman has plenty of 10p and 20p coins. She has no other coins. She can put the coins into the pay phone in any order. To make a call costing 50p, she could put in the coins in any order; 20p, 20p, 10p or 10p, 20p, 20p or 10p, 10p, 20p, 10p There are more ways of making 50p with only 10p and 20p coins. . The woman is going to make a phone call costing any multiple of 10p. I am going to investigate the number of different ways she could put the 10p and 20p coins into the payphone. A man also wants to use the pay phone. He has plenty of 10p and 50p coins. He has no other coins. He wishes to make a telephone call costing any multiple of 10p. 2. I am going to investigate the number of different ways he has of entering the 10p and 50p coins into the telephone. 3. I will then investigate the more general cases leading into special cases. There can be made 8 different combinations using only 10p and 20p coins to make a call costing 50p. These are; . 10,10,10,10,10,10 2. 10,10,10,20 3. 20,10,10,10 4. 10,20,10,10 5. 10,10,20,10 6. 10,20,20 7. 20,10,20 8. 20,20,10 . The woman is going to make a phone call costing any multiple of 10p. Investigate the number of different ways she could put the 10p and 20p coins into the pay phone. Multiple of 10p Combinations
"To Call or not to Call"
"To Call or not to Call" By : Pia Marie B. Mercado It's been 3 days and he still haven't called me. Why do guys do that? I mean, if they're not really planning to call, they shouldn't have bothered asking for a girl's number. But then they usually do. And what's unfair is that the girls are left wondering and waiting when he is going to call her. And as for the guy, like duh.. he get's to choose whether he'll call or not whenever he feels like it. That's really unfair. But what else could we girls do? It's supposed to be like that because no matter how much our country has improved, girl's calling a guy still doesn't overpower the percentage of the basic guy calling the girl gesture. Anyway, when girls wait for a guy to call, that doesn't necessarily mean that she's so into him. I mean, when I wait for a call from some guy I met, that's not because I see a future in him or something. But it's because he interests me and I'd like to know him better. Though not all guys know that. I've noticed that there's a lot of guys who's also confused if he should call this girl or not. Because calling her might appear to her as if he's on the road of courtship when he doesn't really intend to. But on the other hand, if he's thinking that, then we go back to the big question, why did he still bother to ask for the girl's number?! I mean, there are some things in life which can be so
Commentary on One or More Events at the Olympic Games Based on Primary Evidence
The Olympic Games Commentary on One or More Events at the Olympic Games Based on Primary Evidence Myron: Good morning and welcome to day two of the Olympic Games in Olympia held in the honour of Zeus. I'm Myron and with me is Phayllos. Greetings to all the listeners who have joined us at these very hot and exciting Games. I do believe that this has probably been one of the hottest days in this lunar month, so far. If this is the first time you have tuned into us, then you missed the swearing-in ceremony for competitors and judges before the altar and statue of Zeus. You missed public sacrifices in the Altis, orations by well-known philosophers and recital by poets and historians and this is just to name but a few. Remember this prestigious event is only held every four years so don't miss this one or you'll be sorry for the next four years! You've joined me for the chariot racing, which has not started just yet so Phayllos will tell us about the legendary origin of the chariot races. Phayllos: Thank you Myron, hello and welcome to all the listeners who have joined us today. I am Phayllos and before I tell you the origin of the chariot racing, I just have to thank my hero, Herakles who is the founder of the Games. These Olympic Games are to celebrate one of his twelve labours which was the cleaning of King Augeas' stables, which he successfully completed. I
Mystery investigation
"A Woman's Intuition" I was lying down on my bed, fast sleep when suddenly interrupted by the loud sound of my alarm, placed on a bedside table next to my bed. I jerked up to a seating position & looked at the time; 5:30 in the morning. I fell back onto my bed. It feels warm & comfortable. My body feels too tired & stiff but work is pressing on. I have to be at the office in half an hour; in order to prepare for a very important meeting. I reluctantly drag my tired body out of the bed & walk to the window. The cool breeze of the fresh, Monday morning sends a pleasant shiver down my spine. I open the curtains & witness my sleepy town, slowly & gracefully preparing herself for a brand new day. I smile & say "Good morning New York". I turn around & head for the shower. The water is cold and icy but it helps to wake me up properly. I don't have the luxury of a hot bath & I look consciously at my wrist watch, now indicating 5:45. I rush out of the bathroom & wrap my robe around me tightly. As beautiful as New York is, its mornings are brutally cold. I grab my trousers and try not to think about how creased they are. I want to wear my black shirt but suddenly remember shoving it in the washing machine, the previous night, trying to get the blood off. After all these years of being a detective, a witness of death & brutality, I still find blood a sight to cringe to. I put on
A life in the day of....
' Hi this is Sarah Cox and your listening to BBC Radio 1' I hear this and think it's a dream. But after around 5 minutes I hear my mum's voice shouting my name to tell me to turn it off. I'm also thinking that this to is a dream as my eyes are still shut but then realise that what she's saying has nothing to do with my dream so slightly manage to open my eyes. It's a Saturday but if I don't get up by at least 11.00am then I will be extremely tired for Monday when I have to wake up at 7.45am for school so have to keep a deadline for waking up. My mum told me to do this as I was waking up late and was very tired. I don't really like listening to the radio stations but the Sound System is pretty old and forgot how to change it as I done it along time ago. I also can only use it on Saturday and Sunday as it only goes off at 11.00am so have to Switch it off when I go to sleep on Sunday and week days. I don't really listen to the radio that much as I prefer CD's. My room is very Dark as my curtains are thick and my door is shut. I prefer it this way as I'm a light sleeper so the slightest thing can wake me up. I eventually get out of my bed and sort of walk to the bathroom. I sort of walk because my legs are stiff. I turn the cold water on form the sink and get my toothbrush out of the rack. I use to just use the same toothpaste as my family but heard that you

It was half past seven in the morning and I had a busy day ahead of me. I got into my Ferrari 360 spyder; put my bag on the passenger seat. I started the engine, put it into gear and made my way to the airport, with the roaring sound of the Ferrari behind me. I had to go pretty fast because I had to be at the airport before my flight left. As I approached the entrance to the airport, I made my way to the runway. There was a barrier across it so that it would be blocked of for other customers. He asked me why I was their. I showed him a pass which granted me permission to enter the run way. He kindly pushed a button in his small control box, which would lift the barrier. As I passed through the barrier, I turned the corner of the runway; there right before my eyes was my private jet. Another steward approached me and said he would park my car for me, I jumped out of my car, got my belongings and handed my car keys so he could park it in a private car park. I made my way on foot in the direction of my jet. As I came to the stairs which would take me up to my jet there was a very beautiful air stewardess. She greeted me with a smile; she helped me with my things and guided me to my jet. She showed me to my seat as it was only me on the jet I asked the stewardess to put my things on the spare remaining seats, which would be no use to me. I sat myself down, near the window.
A life in the day of Oikki.
It's 6.45 am and a burning bleep repeatedly shrieks in my ear, until I realise "No, its not a heart monitor in A&E," but is my tiny, silver alarm clock. Now that I am just about conscious to the world outside my door, I give myself until 11 minutes to - 6.49 - for a brief yet cherished sleep. The brief bit isn't generally achieved (and it looks like today is just going to have to be a general one). I open my eyes again at 7.07 am; this time due to my dad walking very heavily across the landing, about to disturb me from a 22 minute hibernation. However, an unbreakable (and totally illogical) habit of mine forces me into an upright poise ready to play the part of someone who's been up since dawn. "I'm awake! I'm awake! I'm awake!" will be my most frequent claim, but today however, my nocturnal cells feel the need to excel them-selves further. I jump out of bed and open the door just as my Dad's hand approaches the handle. It is then a rush into the bathroom, a sprint back to my room to find a crumpled shirt on the floor of what can hardly be called a wardrobe. This is most probably due to the amount cotton draped so "artistically" in a modern style called MESS! I then contemplate going for a jog, but at this time in the morning? Thought is about as far as that subject is likely to run in the near future. I also seem to be taking an age eating my cereal as the nutritional
The Assassin!
Lucy Baird - 10g The Assassin! The rain pattered on the window pane. I could hear each drop like a note on a piano. I could see her ponytail over the back of the chair. Her long brown hair rested on the top of the chair like a cat sleeping. The light from the moon flickered through the rain drops. The rain drops sounded like footsteps that weren't going anywhere. The dusty photographs of us reflected the happy memories. Should I still go though with this? The happy memories were now lost in the sands of time. I scraped my finger across one of the photographs; I left her in the dust. My happy face was clear now. This happiness would only be a reality if I were to do this. Should I still go thought with this? The clock was ticking and emphasising each rain drop stamping on the window pane. The faded floral curtains swayed from side to side like a grandfather clock ticking. I took another step, more rain, more drops, and more footsteps. I took another step; I felt guilt, nerves, shocked that I was going to do this. I took another step; I could still hear the rain. The television was flashing lights across the room as if it was a disco. It was not a disco, discos are fun and exciting, this was not, and this was awful and upsetting. I knew I had to do this though, I had no choice. The rain drops got faster and faster, like my heartbeat. She was breathing heavily, I think she
