We are now entering into the second pay period in which Government workers are not being paid but are being asked to come into work, and the number of Transportation Safety Administration agents who have failed to report for work has ballooned to an all-time high of 10% of its total workforce. The American Federation of Government Employees has warned that the ongoing government shutdown will prevent some TSA workers from being able to afford the commute to work. Airports with the longest wait times, of up to 45 minutes over the holiday weekend, included Minneapolis and New Orleans.
Sell stuff: Sell your used textbooks online or at your school, and sell some of your clothes, gadgets or art online or at a consignment store. You could host a garage sale with your friends at your parent's house over the weekend too! If anything doesn't sell, consider donating it to a good cause.
Work smarter: Pick up part-time work at a local spot that you frequent to get the employee discount or free pass, like at a gym, yoga studio or bookstore.
Pick up odd jobs: Instead of heading out to the club (again), why not offer to babysit? Many babysitting jobs let you eat their food and watch their cable TV, so you can also bring down the cost of your food and entertainment budget at the same time – a win-win! If kids aren't your thang, why not offer to tutor other college students in a subject that you excel at? Or offer to do some yardwork or snow removal for your neighbors.
Keep looking for grants and scholarships during the semester: Visit your school's student aid office to keep tabs on any new aid opportunities that you could apply for during the semester.
Be book smart: Save money on your textbooks by buying or renting them online, borrowing from the library or by sharing or buying them from a friend or student on campus.
Bank smart: Open up a free checking account and high-yield savings account with a company that doesn't charge any fees. Be warned that many banks advertise "free checking accounts" but still charge fees. Check the account agreement and fee schedule within your disclosures to make sure know what you are getting. Set aside a portion of your income into your high-yield savings account so you can earn interest and start building your emergency fund.
Borrow smart: Please make sure to exhaust all of your federal aid options before taking out a private loan. The Institute of College Success reported that 47% of borrowers of private loans in 2011-2012 borrowed less than they could have in federal Stafford loans. Why does this matter? Because private loans aren't eligible for options that can come in handy later on like loan forgiveness and deferment and may have higher interest rates.
Don't over borrow. Only borrow what you need to cover your tuition, fees and living expenses. Be careful with credit, and only borrow what you can afford to pay back quickly.
Consider a line of credit: You may want to look into taking out a line of credit instead of getting another loan. Why? You can tap into your line of credit when you need it, and typically, interest isn't charged on what you don't use.

I just want to thank Caleb Craig and Cam for inviting me to play Killing Floor 2 with them. I don't really play Online Multiplayer games. But after playing that game with them I eventually went on to platinum it. It was a lot of fun. I might try playing more multiplayer games if the online communities are similar to that.
I'm not big on fps games for the simple fact that I don't stand a chance with most people who play them. I found this to be much more enjoyable simply because playing with a group of people against a horde of AI zed I was able to actually survive several rounds. I don't know if I will find the time to platinum this but I will at least revisit Killing Floor 2.


The Department of Energy -- a mainstay of the West's economy -- is in serious trouble.
Plagued by mistakes, accidents and incompetence, the Department of Energy's nuclear weapons production system is grinding to a halt, and the West, alarmed by the pollution in its midst, has begun to revolt.
INEL employs more than 10,000 workers, or 2.5 percent of Idaho's work force. Only the state government itself employs more people. But it comes with a legacy of pollution.
The U.S. Department of Energy and its private contractors aren't ready to open the first nuclear waste dump in the world. Today, nearly 10 years old, almost fully constructed and containing $700 million in hardware, the Waste Isolation Pilot Project lies in a state of limbo.


WordPress.com now has an official Theme Team.
"In a nutshell, we're a bunch of people who really care about WordPress Themes and want to see them get better and better—on WordPress.com and for every WordPress.org user. And yes, that means we're getting more themes, more often."
Good news for WP bloggers?
Nice! Can't wait for some new themes.
Andy, do you have a favorite theme for wordpress?
But seriously, I have not gone much into studying themes for WP, but Im sure there are many WP theme fans here who may give some suggestions.
Now when there is an official theme team, I hope there are great new layouts.
Just my 2 cents on theme selection.
Pay more attention to the layout and not colours. Customising colours is pretty easy thru CSS files.

Weekly Insight | March 30, 2022
Weakness in housing continued this week but is not necessarily indicative of a significant reduction in demand. Pending home sales dropped by 4.1% in February from January. All regions were down outside of the Northeast. Year-over-year, pending home sales were down 5.4%. The primary reason given for the decline was the lack of inventory of homes available for sale. Buyers may want to lock in rates now as the Federal Reserve starts on the path of raising the Fed Funds Rate.
In February, durable orders were down 2.2%. The decrease was led by a sharp drop in the orders for transportation equipment of 5.6%. The decrease in transportation equipment comes after three consecutive months of increases.
The mood is not great. The Michigan Sentiment Index is down to 59.4 in March. This is the lowest reading of the index since 2011. Increasing prices and the Russia – Ukraine conflict have contributed to reduced optimism for the economy. The Federal Reserve has indicated they are willing to do what it takes to bring inflation back to around 2%.
Consumer confidence on the other hand, was up to 107.2 in March. The increase comes after two consecutive months of decreases. Despite the increase, the reading is still under the five-year average of 118.35. The lower-than-average reading has also been attributed to increased prices, especially of gas, and the Russia – Ukraine conflict.
The Purchasing Managers' Indexes (PMI) saw increases in March. The Markit Manufacturing PMI is up to 58.5. This is up from 57.3 in January. The expectation was for a slight dip to 56.5. The Services Index is at 58.9 from 56.5 in January, with 56 expected. Anything over 50 for these indexes is considered positive.
Equity markets were up this week led by the Real Estate sector. The S&P 500 increase of 3.30% saw all sectors up. The Real Estate sector performance of 5.62% for the week was led by a sharp increase of 8.71% in Hotel and Resort real estate investment trusts. Utilities, up the most this month at 10.55% was the second-best performing sector. Independent power and renewable energy companies drove performance here.
There was a little bit of a reprieve in increases for oil prices this week. WTI Crude Oil was down 4.84% this week. This comes after a 44% increase this year.

Versitile executive home with home office option.
Perfectly positioned in a quiet and private pocket of Vincent Heights, this family home catches the warmth of the northern sun whilst allowing a free flowing outlook with valley views.
The home offers 3 large bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, open-plan lounge dining room kitchen, a spacious downstairs entertainment lounge or downstairs office, plus a self-contained flatlet, double garage, entertainment deck with pool, built-in braai and koi pond.
The suburb of Vincent was named after Amelius Vincent, a town councillor and former Mayor of East London. The area that is known as Vincent first came under Settler development in 1857, with the arrival of the British-German Legion.
Vincent is known for its peaceful and tranquil atmosphere with magnificent aged trees. Vincent is within walking distance to the well-known Hudson Park Primary and High School. The suburb is sought after due to its proximity to schools and amenities. As East London has expanded, some parts of Vincent have been transformed into business precincts, but the municipality has curbed this trend due to fears that the road network cannot support further commercial development. The net result is that there are areas with high concentrations of residents and others where there are numerous small businesses. It's an eclectic mix that works well. It is truly a suburb that has transformed into a place where you can work and play.
The Vincent Park Shopping Centre is probably the epicenter of business within this suburb, which has many restaurants such as Ocean Basket, Mugg & Bean and Wimpy. There are offices. B&Bs, banks, butcheries and hairdressers together with specialist boutique shops which sell a wide variety of goods and services.
Vincent offers property to suit all your needs, be it homes, apartments or town houses. Residential property is conveniently situated to schools, shops and office parks. Property in this area is highly sought after. Townhouses in the suburb sell from R1,500,000 upwards and homes are selling from R1,800,000 to R 6,500,000.

D.C. #Regram: Influencers Reflect on Local Posts
March 11, 2020 @ 12:25pm | Trent Johnson
Everyone has a favorite spot in D.C. Whether you grew up here or flew into DCA or took the Megabus, every person who's passed through the nation's capital likely has a warm and fuzzy feeling about a particular neighborhood, restaurant or street here in the city. If you close your eyes, what place comes to mind for you? Is it something national steeped in American tradition, like the monuments or the Capitol Building? Is it a local institution like Ben's Chili Bowl, home of the half-smoke, or the vaunted 9:30 Club, where acts big and small have eagerly climbed onstage? There's no wrong answer here, because D.C. is home to a number of iconic buildings and legendary venues. Need more examples? Well, how about pictures? We asked some of the District's most active Instagrammers about the places that make them think of the city and why.
Albert Ting | @pootie_ting
[Pictured above.] "This is a tough question because D.C. has so many exciting places to eat, drink and have fun. The Wharf would probably best represent my first year as a full-time freelance event photographer and social media strategist. Its diverse range of beautiful new event venues, local retailers, stunning waterfront views, and award-winning hotels and restaurants have made The Wharf a frequent locale for my recent photography gigs. [This] includes a citywide, Pride-themed floral art installation, a Qatar-America Institute photography exhibition, and numerous fashion and lifestyle photo sessions. If you're looking for a place to unwind, enjoy an evening sunset, sip a refreshing Moscow mule, or share a light snack with friends in a sophisticated but laidback atmosphere at The Wharf, Whiskey Charlie – shown here [and] located on the rooftop of D.C.'s first Canopy by Hilton – is just the spot."

Kimberly Kong | @sensiblestylista
"Located in Bloomingdale, Truxton Inn is a really cool place to hang in the District. It's a classy but lowkey neighborhood bar with a chill, speakeasy vibe. It caters to D.C.'s literary and film aficionados, with themed cocktail menus that pay homage to famous authors and filmmakers. Expect killer drinks, great conversation and intimate ambiance."

Liz Strom | @espressofied
"The Library of Congress is a gorgeous, must-visit landmark in D.C. that holds so much knowledge and wisdom as well as magic, mystery, beauty, history, [etc.] There are so many hidden treasures to be found. As a D.C. native who loves to socialize and bring people together, it's an amazing place to people-watch and chat with visitors from all over the world."

Cassie + Alexa | @twofemmegems
"The Library of Congress is one of our favorite places in D.C. Not only is the architecture beyond impressive, the building itself has a warm and inviting way of drawing you in. As two total book nerds, we love wandering through the book stacks and really taking in the incredible amount of information housed in this gorgeous building."

Austin Rutland | @austinrutland
"This specific Dolcezza location on 14th Street is the first coffee shop that I went to when I moved to D.C. three years ago, and ever since then, I have truly felt at home here. The tiles, the brick, the white marble tables, the ambiance – it's just everything I need to get a stunning photo every time."
@thejenchase. Photo by David Santori, @frenchieyankee.
Jennifer Chase | @thejenchase
"What really makes this city special for me are the people who live here. There's a really supportive food community and a fantastic creative community. As a freelance photographer and creative director at Edible DC, I'm lucky to be at the intersection of both. I love watching women in the food and beverage world support each other. There [are] so many women I could name like […] Rose Previte of Maydan who are really fantastic at this. Maydan has amazing food and an interesting wine list from less well-known regions. "

Nicole Santa | @narrativeofnic
"I picked this shot because it's in the LINE Hotel in Adams Morgan, [which] represents D.C. to me because it's such a diverse area. If you're looking for a hangout spot and can't decide between local or worldwide flavors, this is the neighborhood you'll find both in. I'd definitely say the area [is] more local than tourist-driven, which is also true D.C. We're more than monuments! The LINE is housed in a 110-year-old church, so you still get some of the historic aspect that's iconic to the District."

Alicia T. Chew | @alIciatenise
"My favorite neighborhood in the District is Bloomingdale. It's kept a lot of its original charm and character, and it's packed with some incredible restaurants and bars, which makes it one of the perfect places in town for locals. The Red Hen and Boundary Stone in particular are two of my favorite places to hang out and catch up with friends. I think it's very underrated and isn't overly developed, and it is a hidden gem. Union Market, which is right around the corner from Bloomingdale, is also another spot that I frequent in town. It's jam-packed full of small local businesses that all have incredible products and/or food to offer."

You are here: Home / Title Matters / What does it mean to be a leader?
People ask all the time, is there a course I can take to learn the title business. We do not go to college to be title examiners or escrow closers, we learn from others in our industry. The Illinois Land Title Association has many options for training and development classes for both title and escrow. They offer a series of classes to receive the designation of Illinois Title Professional (ITP) and/or Illinois Escrow Professional (IEP). The ITP and IEP designations are now in their 5th year and the ILTA is taking another step in helping our industry grow with the newest opportunity, the Michael D. Troutt Leadership Academy.
What does it mean to be a leader? As stated by Warren Bennis: "Leadership is the capacity to translate vision into reality." Andrew Carnegie states: "No man will make a great leader who wants to do it all himself, or to get all the credit for doing it." Who is that leader in your company or who wants to grow to become a leader in the title industry?
There will be a panel of leaders to talk about leadership and a national speaker that will talk about The Influential Leader.
How will you take your company to the next level or develop the leader of the future for your company?
The Leadership Academy is November 1-2, 2017 at Eaglewood Resort in Itasca, Illinois. The application process is now open. Attendance will be limited to 36 title professionals. Deadline to apply is September 1, 2017. Need based scholarships will be available.
Opportunities for growth are all around us. ILTA strives to give its members as many opportunities as possible. We are all in this industry together, and together we can keep it growing.

Queer Comrades: Gay Identity and Tongzhi Activism in Postsocialist China
Hongwei Bao
NIAS Press
This very timely, well-written and insightful exploration of gay identity and queer activism in the People's Republic of China today is more than a study of 'queer China' through the lens of male homosexuality; it also examines identity, power and governmentality in contemporary China, as shaped by China's historical conditions and contemporary situations. This book offers in-depth analysis of recent queer history and contemporary cultural texts, including the processes by which queer theory and activism was introduced and received in the PRC, the transformation of Shanghai's queer spaces, leading queer filmmaker Cui Zi'en life and works, and personal diaries written by gay men receiving conversion therapies. It also presents rich ethnographic data gained from fieldwork conducted in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou's urban gay communities and documents queer public cultural events such as the Shanghai LGBT Pride, the Beijing Queer Film Festival, the China Queer Film Festival Tour, as well as a clash between cruising gay men and the police over the use of public space in the People's Park, Guangzhou.
This book offers a queer Marxist analysis of sexual identity and social movements in contemporary China, where ideological negotiations between socialism and neoliberalism are constantly played out in the formation of public cultures and intimate spheres. In doing so, it critically assesses the role of Marxism and China's socialist legacies in shaping sexual identity, queer popular culture and political activism. Although the first of its kind from a cultural studies perspective, this interdisciplinary study speaks to scholars working in disparate fields including anthropology, sociology, media studies, film studies, political theory, and Asian Studies.

Paralegal education – enhancing your skills – CLE is Continuing Legal Education. CLE encompasses programs designed for legal professionals, covering topics in substantive areas of law; technology programs used specifically by legal practitioners, such as legal research programs; education on programs designed to assist legal professionals, such as document manage;, as well as the basics such as research, court rules and updates, recent legal decisions, writing skills and ethics. Nearly every continuing education program designed for an attorney can be taken by a paralegal, with the possible exception of topics limited to licensed attorneys, such as "How to Cross Examine a Hostile Witness", although such topics are often of interest to senior paralegals who assist at trial.
NFPA prides itself on the professionalism of its members and routinely monitors legislation, case law, proposed changes to the rules of responsibility and ethics opinions that affect the paralegal profession.
As defined by the National Federation of Paralegal Associations, a Paralegal is a person, qualified through education, training or work experience to perform substantive legal work that requires knowledge of legal concepts and is customarily, but not exclusively, performed by a lawyer. This person may be retained or employed by a lawyer, law office, governmental agency or other entity or may be authorized by administrative, statutory or court authority to perform this work. Substantive shall mean work requiring recognition, evaluation, organization, analysis, and communication of relevant facts and legal concepts.
Paralegals can receive education from paralegal programs offered at two-year and four-year colleges or universities. Proprietary schools generally award post-baccalaureate certificates. NFPA's findings indicate 85% of all paralegals receive some formal paralegal education. Paralegal education programs offer degrees and/or certificates.
There are a wide variety of jobs which can be classified as paralegal work.
NFPA recognizes that a two-year degree with an emphasis in paralegal studies is acceptable to employers in some markets as a minimum criterion for individuals to enter the paralegal profession. However, current trends across the country, as illustrated through various surveys, indicate that formal paralegal education has become a requirement to secure paralegal employment, and a four-year degree is the hiring standard in many markets. Consequently, NFPA recommends that future practitioners should have a four-year degree to enter the profession, and individuals receiving a formal paralegal education should have 24 semester hours or the equivalent of legal specialty courses to enhance their ability to practice as paralegals.

The Treacherous 'Into the Wild' Bus Airlifted out of the Alaskan Wilderness
Jun 23, 2020 Steve Palace

The 'Into The Wild' bus has been lifted out of the Alaskan wilderness. Immortalized in the 1996 non fiction book by Jon Krakauer and Sean Penn's 2007 film, the long-abandoned vehicle provided a safe haven for hunters and general adventure seekers. This 1940s Fairbanks transit famously sheltered Chris McCandless, a young man from California who died of starvation after being cut off by the Teklanika River near the Stampede Trail in 1992. Aged just 24, his story forms the basis of 'Into The Wild'.
The big move – titled "Operation Yutan" – was organized by the Department of National Resources (DNR) and the National Guard, who flew in a CH-47 Chinook. For many it's the end of an era, though authorities are highlighting safety concerns by removing the bus.
The "Magic Bus" as it was called (or "Bus 142") became an attraction in itself. Travelers inspired by McCandless and the movie ran the same risks he did. "Between 2009 and 2017, crews responded to 15 emergency calls from hikers who had become lost, injured, or trapped on their way to the bus;" writes the Backpacker website, adding "in February 2020, state police rescued five Italian hikers, one of whom had developed frostbite."

Quoted in a post on the Alaska National Guard Facebook page is Major Zachary Miller: "Certainly, Alaska's landscape can be treacherous in many areas of the state, but the bus's proximity to these rivers is what makes it particularly dangerous."
Sometimes the trip to Stampede Trail has proved fatal. "Individual travelers from Switzerland and Belarus drowned in 2010 and 2019," say the National Guard, "prompting public outcry, particularly among local Alaskans to reduce or eliminate the hazard."
Corri A. Feige is DNR Commissioner. She comments "we understand the hold this bus has had on the popular imagination". However ultimately she had to put people's safety first: "I'm glad we found a safe, respectful and economical solution to this situation".

Operation Yutan was more than just a simple lifting job. Initially a Blackhawk copter flew in a team from "the 1-207th AVN Soldiers comprised of pilots, flight engineers, crew chiefs and mechanics". They were there to clear the space for the Chinook to move in. And the Magic Bus didn't come away unscathed. Holes needed to be made in the top and bottom to accommodate the chain kits.

The vehicle had numerous occupants but McCandless is easily the most well-known. Hiking across North America before winding up Stampede Trail, he spent over 100 days aboard the bus prior to his death. Alaskan National Guard note, "The aircrew also ensured the safekeeping and safe transportation of a suitcase that holds sentimental value to the McCandless family."
Sean Penn originally wanted to make 'Into The Wild' back in the Nineties. He put the project on hold after speaking to Chris's mother Billie. Speaking to the indieLondon site, Penn said she "had a dream that insinuated to her that her son was not ready to see a film of his life made at that time. So, I told her that if I didn't respect dreams I wouldn't make movies, but that I would never stop being hungry to make this if something changed." The team went into production a decade later.
Emile Hirsch was was cast as McCandless. Penn made no bones about the experience when approaching the young star, saying "whatever happened was allowed to happen because we weren't the boss – nature was and we were not going to restrict ourselves to shooting things that we could control. We were going to shoot what was in the hands of nature. So, when we walk on a frozen river, had he broken through he wouldn't be sitting here right now. It was going to be that kind of story and we were going to shoot that kind of way."

Penn also stated that "testing yourself and proactively pursuing a rite of passage has become necessary because in western developed countries we've become very comfort-addicted." Though he also stressed not to be reckless in pursuit of this.
After its dramatic journey the bus has gone into storage. It may be put on display in the future, so those who want to see a part of history can do so in an altogether safer environment.

The everything gold trend made a comeback a few years ago after decades of people wearing mostly silver jewellery, adding silvery pieces to their closets, and decorating their homes in silver tones. When gold first made its epic comeback I thought it would stay for a season, but lucky for all of us it has stuck around, and from what I have seen it looks like it won't be disappearing anytime soon. Phew!
Who or what brought on the gold obsession? Perhaps it was that after decades of subdued silver tones taking over our wardrobes and homes, we were ready to bring back the richness and intensity that gold brings.
It is the perfect choice for all the holiday gatherings and parties with friends, family and coworkers that you will be attending from now until the New Year.
These gold pieces are just fabulous, don't you think?


If you're looking to make some special memories with your sweetheart this Valentine's Day, consider an overnight at Stevenson Ridge.
We have a special Valentine's Day package we're offering guests to make their holiday extra memorable: a wood-burning fire, sparkling wine on ice surrounded by votive candles, and chocolate-covered strawberries upon arrival with breakfast delivered in the morning.
A couple years back, I was drawing a blank on what to get my mom for her birthday (end of January). This woman has everything is she needs right now, so what do I get her that she'll enjoy?


Developers must square projects with the heir to the throne first to avoid the financial risk of a major undertaking being scuppered by a direct intervention from the great opponent of architectural novelty, who has succeeded in blocking several building plans.
Architects given the Prince's blessing for their incorporation of his favoured classical style would be attached to projects. Even when Charles did not succeed in getting a development dropped, his intervention could prompt expensive delays, sometimes for years.
Warned Cardiff Bay redevelopment against replicating London's Docklands where warehouses were "wantonly destroyed". Plans for an opera house in the Wales Millennium Centre area by modernist Zaha Hadid were scrapped.
Clarence House, Prince Charles' office, has replied, saying that, while a charity funded by the Prince is "often approached for advice and works with local authorities", Prince Charles has no formal planning approval powers.

Charge electric vehicles efficiently and cost-effectively, while also driving the energy revolution forward.
Electric mobility made intelligent – that's smart charging. Smart charging ensures that electric cars are charged whenever it makes most sense economically. That means charging electric cars in times when electricity is cheap and making use of load management, i.e. the efficient charging of several electric cars at one location within a given connected load. The Vehicle-to-Grid concept makes charging even smarter – the electric car battery acts as a buffer, helping to stabilise the power grid. You benefit from lower costs when acquiring your electric car or in the price you pay for electricity. Simply put: Smart charging saves money when charging, helps you keep an overview of your charging processes and helps drive the energy revolution forward. The Mobility House is completely independent and can help you to find, implement and operate a charging solution tailored to suit your needs.
If you want to charge several electric cars at one location, the one-off investment costs for the charging infrastructure and network improvement as well as the annual operating costs for the demand rate can quickly hurt your business. Not with charging and energy management systems from The Mobility House.
See exactly who is charging, how and when they are charging and how much is being charged. Whether you prefer to use an app or a browser, our solutions give you a constant overview of the charging processes and energy consumption. Download and analyse your data to help you make decisions in the future.
The last thing you want for your company is added expenses. That's why The Mobility House takes over the entire process of billing the electricity used by your employees or guests for charging on site, and for your company car drivers at home. A monthly process which is both completely automatic and legally sound.
Do you have, or are you planning to install a photovoltaic system? Then simply charge your electric car with the solar energy you produce yourself and optimise your own energy consumption. This will not only save you money, but will also give you the positive feeling of having done something good for the planet.
There are times when more energy is being produced than is being consumed. Instead of switching off wind turbines and disconnecting photovoltaic plants from the power grid, we simply use the excess energy to charge electric cars. This doesn't just reduce the cost of charging your electric cars, but also extends the useful life of their batteries.
Using The Mobility House's charging and energy management systems you can manage your electrical loads, view the progress of charging processes and bill for charging, and even use the excess energy produced by your photovoltaic system to charge your electric vehicles. But best of all: You simply buy the system and can then add future modules with complete flexibility.
Drive economically – and drive the energy revolution forward while you're at it. We're here to help.
We're helping Porto Santo to become the first island entirely independent of external energy resources. It will soon be using only energy that has been produced on the island itself, with electric cars playing an important role in the process. To ensure continued mobility on the island, preference is given to charging electric cars at times when excess energy is being produced.
The Redispatch project is turning the Vehicle-to-Grid concept into a reality. Our charging and energy management systems help store locally produced electric power and feed it back into the grid as needed. This "redispatching" process helps to stabilise the power grid and to overcome energy bottle necks. Redispatching energy with electric vehicles prevents renewable energy sources (e.g. wind turbines) from having to be shut down during low-demand periods and conventional power plants (e.g. coal-fired power stations) from having to be fired up during peak demand. Compared to classic redispatch systems, costs can be cut significantly using electric vehicles.

Q: Live Web Feed + Masonry 'Wall' with CMS Oke so for a project I need to make this:
A wall like website. Kind of like Metro UI with Masonry. I want to make the blocks to hold text, images and tweets (live tweets). These texts and images are going to be submitted trough a CMS.
Here is the tricky part, I don't want to refresh to page to show the added content or new tweets. I was thinking AJAX + PHP/MySQL would solve this problem + Masonry jQuery.
In short, the idea behind it:
Wall with blocks that change after a set amount of time
If a new post is added this will automatically get in the rotation of random blocks
People who tweet with #hashtag will also automatically get in the rotation of random blocks
And this all without having to refresh.
I was wondering if you guys had any ideas for this on how to make it and with what technology. So I figured that I should use PHP, MySQL, AJAX, Masonry, jQuery and of course a working Twitter API.
Demo's or similar things regarding this 'wall' is really appreciated!

A: OK, some pointers to get you started:
You are going to want to call a function a regular time intervals I'm guessing, so you might want to look at the timeout function:
http://www.jquery4u.com/jquery-functions/settimeout-example/
Then you'll want to use AJAX to get some data from a PHP file - optionally shown here with a parameter to specify you only want tweets with hashtag #cheese:
$.ajax({
  type: "POST",
  url: "a_php_file_that_returns_some_data.php",
  data: { hastag: "cheese"}
})
  success: function (dataFeed) {
                // do something
            }
);

OK, I said AJAX, but actually you don't want the X (XML) - it is easier to format your feed as JSON - for which you might find json_encode useful: http://us3.php.net/json_encode
The PHP file will contain a function that gets data from twitter. You'll need to create an app on twitter which involves signing up for a free dev account: https://dev.twitter.com/
The app will have an API key - codes you send to twitter to unlock the data you want. The API changes from time-to-time so you'll need to look up the latest version, but here's something to start you off.
twitter search by hashtag example api v 1.1
Once you've got the json feed it's time to add the items to masonry, I'm not expert so refer to the docs for more, but here's the add items method:
msnry.addItems( elements )
// or with jQuery
$container.masonry( 'addItems', elements )

Songs & Stories of San Marcos: Kyle Park Texas country favorite looks back on his formative college (and Cheatham Street) days.
Kelly Dearmore — March 1, 2013

By Kelly Dearmore
(March/April 2013/vol. 6 – Issue 2)
By the time Austin-native Kyle Park landed in San Marcos to attend college, he was already an aspiring country musician looking for a gig and a band. Like so many others who had their muse tap them on the shoulder after seeing transcendent sets from folks such as Todd Snider or Randy Rogers at Cheatham Street Warehouse, Park arrived at school with a prepared syllabus all his own.
"I chose San Marcos for school because it was close to my home in Austin, and there was so much opportunity," says Park from a tour-stop in Wichita Falls. "I had a friend that went to Texas Tech for school, but I wanted to be somewhere closer to more opportunities to play. San Marcos was perfect, because of how easy it is to get to Austin, San Antonio, New Braunfels, and even College Station. Also, when I got to San Marcos in 2003, I was able to play more bars because I was finally 18, and I didn't need any parental or adult supervision."
Park quickly adopted a strategy that would endear him to the club and bar owners of San Marcos and beyond.
"When I began to play bars around town, I realized it was the college kids who came to the shows, bought the beer and were the type of crowds the bar owners wanted there," he says. "I don't specifically play to any audience on purpose, but I knew then that by attracting other college crowds, I would keep getting to play all over town. Also, if you can make a fan out of a 16 or 17 year old, there's a good chance you have that fan for life. I'm still a fan of the artists I liked when I was 17. It takes a lot to lose that trust."
Not surprisingly, when Park wasn't busy hustling for gigs, he was one of those college-aged fans catching every local show he could.
"When I first got to San Marcos, one of the first places I went to was Lucy's, when it was still there, to see Wade Bowen," Park recalls. "And I did make it a point to go to Cheatham for one of the all-star Monday Night Jams. There would be these amazing local musicians playing and then Doug Moreland and Dub Miller would show up to sit-in."
Even when he was just enjoying the show as an audience member, though, Park still kept his eye on the prize of a building a music career of his own.
"When you go to Cheatham Street, you know you'll meet up with some great musicians," he says. "I realized there were guys looking for jobs and wanting to join bands, so I took that opportunity to find my band and start playing around town. I didn't want to only play at Cheatham in San Marcos, which is what Kent Finlay wanted at the time, so I went the route of playing everywhere I could, anytime I could. After I played so many places like Gordo's and the Green parrot, I kind of graduated to playing Cheatham Street."
He's since gone on to play plenty of other places, too, establishing a solid following on the Texas country circuit over the course of hundreds of dates and a handful of releases, including 2011's Make or Break Me and his brand new Beggin' for More (out March 19). But no matter how far his music career takes him, he'll always remember where he first saw the light.
"Before I got to San Marcos, all I knew was country radio and cover bands," he says. "My times at Cheatham Street and in San Marcos are what made me realize that a scene of any sorts even existed, and that was a very cool thing for me."

About the Author Kelly Dearmore


After hearing Chris Hadfield speak at the Canadian Student Leadership Conference in Edmonton (CSLC 2018) I was inspired to share his children's book The Darkest Dark with my Leadership class. It went great – below is the lesson plan and assignment we used.
I began by reading the book to the class elementary school style with me holding the book up front and making sure they see the pictures. After the page that says "Dreams that actually can come true" I then show them this You Tube video of Chris Hadfield singing Space Oddity on the International Space Station.
Some of the students knew who Chris was in the story but some didn't put it together until I showed the video. Then I read the last two pages "About Chris Hadfield" and "A Message From Chris" to the class.
When we were finished I had them get in partners and they had 2 minutes to talk about what some of the big leadership ideas were that jumped out at them. In a smaller class I would ask them each to share one thing their partner said that stood out to them. In a bigger class I might just choose a few students to report to the class. I then share the attached assignment with them which invites them to take action on one of their dreams this week. Hope this is a help with your Student Leaders.
Tim Elmore from Growing Leaders shared this video and 3 reasons why Generation Z is succeeding where previous generations may have struggled.
1. They can see what we often cannot envision.
2. They will attempt what we often believe is illogical.
Last Friday we had a ton of Gr. 10 Leadership students come out to see our Jr. Girls basketball team beat Bishop Carroll 74-57. This took some effort on their part because it was on a Friday night and not at our school. What got them there? I bribed them. I offered them double points to go to the Championship game.
In our Leadership program we have a volunteering section where students earn points for the service they provide in a semester. Recently we added a component where in the semester they have to go to 4 Centennial Non-Leadership sponsored events. This could be a play, art gallery, concert, or sports event. They must wear their blue leadership t-shirts to show that we are supporting other school events.
On the day of the event I offered double points to go to the Championship. I bribed them. The stands were full of loud and proud blue shirts cheering on the team which three of their Leadership classmates were on. They had fun, we won, and they talked all about it on the Monday back in class. They now have another great memory of high school to look back on.
Below are the volunteer sheets and criteria we use at Centennial. Hopefully they are useful to you.
Centennial High School hosted our annual Feeder Leadership Conference. 150 students from Samuel Shaw School and MidSun Jr. High attended. These are the two main schools whose students will eventually be Coyotes. I am very proud of my class pictured above. This was a student planned and run conference with minimal guidance from me.
Why host a Feeder conference?
It can increase enrollment in your programs as students see what you do and want to be a part of it. Our numbers jumped significantly after hosting our first Feeder.
Thanks to the all-star advisors and programs who through the years have shared their planning ideas with me. My green sheets are a compilation of many ideas I have seen.
If you have any ideas or suggestions please let me know.
School start up is always crazy and hard to explain to someone who isn't a teacher. In the rush of a million things to get done I asked my Sr. Leadership class (gr. 11s and 12s) to get the September birthdays up ASAP. For almost 10 years now we display all the names (first name and last initial) at our main entrance to Centennial. Sometimes it doesn't feel appreciated but if they are up late or a name is missed we do hear about it. So we needed to get those September BDays up. I asked Georgia and Josh to organize the whole class to get it done. In one class and a bit the class had them finished and up. Above is a picture of them in action.
Later I thought about how awesome it was to turn that job over and see it done well withoug my supervision or intervention. They are seasoned leadership students who know what to do and care that it is done well.
It was a cool moment and I almost missed it. May you have many cool moments this year and may you not miss them.

Man Faces Assault Charges For Using Excessive Force On 13-Year-Old
Written By: Jamai Harris
Authorities in Pennsylvania filed assault charges against a man, whom they initially declined to arrest, after he was caught on video forcibly restraining a child in a park.
Shalayla McGovern says her 16-year-old daughter walked to a park in Pittsburgh's Greenfield neighborhood on June 25, to meet with some friends. The teenage girl reportedly asked her 13-year-old brother to get her cell phone charger from their home a few blocks away and meet her at the park. When McGovern's son got to the park, she says he noticed one of his friends crying in an abandoned truck that had been at the neighborhood park for years. The son eventually calmed the crying girl down and got his friend to exit the truck.
"He saw them over by the truck, assumed they were vandalizing it, and he called the police," McGovern told The Root. "He waited and waited but the police didn't show. So he called the police again [but] nothing happened."
McGovern continued:
"So he got upset, ran across the street and ran up to my son and basically said: 'I'm gonna give you a head start, you better run.'
My son was like 'What? What are you talking about?'
"Then he punched my son in the mouth. So my son hit him back.
"He got upset because my son hit him back. He thought that because he was an adult he could put his hands on someone and the child wasn't gonna do anything. The next thing you know, they're on top of the slide. He pins my son down, threatens my daughter…Thankfully my daughter had enough sense to record it."
The man, identified as Thomas D'Andrea, can be seen straddling the 13-year-old as the child complains that his head and his arm are hurting. The sister cries as she begs the man to get off her little brother. But D'Andrea insists he can't release the boy "until the police get here."
"I am 13 years old," the boy explains to the camera as he pleads for his sister to go get help. "This man ran up to me and assaulted me."
"This child [was] vandalizing property and assaulting a 46-year-old man," says D'Andrea, while urging onlookers to "take more fucking pictures" before he explodes into an expletive-filled rant.
"The police didn't fucking come," he explains, calling either the child or his sister a "fucking maniac."
As the incident occurred, McGovern says her daughter called her father, who rushed out of the house, and she followed. When police finally arrived, they declined to arrest D'Andrea, telling the family that the man hadn't committed a crime.
"They were trying to say that they weren't going to arrest him, this wasn't an arrestable offense, and I went off on them," McGovern told The Root. "I took my son to the emergency room and I told the doctors and nurses what happened.
"I asked them to call the police," McGovern continued. "After talking to several people and a social worker, they were able to persuade the police to press assault charges even though they first only charged him with disorderly conduct."
D'Andrea also reportedly serves on the neighborhood association committee.
When contacted by local news station, WPXI, D'Andrea, said that he was the one who was assaulted and his wife claimed that he is the real victim.

Ranking the Teams Capable of Reaching the Final Four
Posted on January 19, 2018 by Shane McNichol
We've seen enough basketball this season to start doing some prognostication. Teams have shown their strengths and weakness since early November. There's plenty of questions left lingering, but while we wait for those answers to reveal themselves on the court, let's unpack what we can from what we've seen. Which teams can really make a run in March? I think there are eighteen.
Notable Omissions:
Xavier: I'm on the record as a Xavier-hater this season and don't see that changing anytime soon. The Musketeers have played nine teams currently in the KenPom top 60. They are 6-3 in those games, but five of those six wins came at home. Away from the Cintas Center, Xavier is just 1-3 against top competition. Spoiler alert: exactly zero NCAA Tournament games will be played inside the Cintas Center. Trevon Bluiett is a dangerous player (19.3 points per game) and JP Macura can get hot (despite shooting below the national average 3-point percentage this season). No other Xavier player scares me as an offensive threat. To win four games on neutral floors in March, that has to change. I'll have my eye on Xavier at Seton Hall (Jan. 20), at Butler (Feb. 6), and at Creighton (Feb. 10).
Kentucky: It's really hard to sleep on a team this talented. We've seen one-and-done heavy teams swoon in midseason, though there are real questions about this Big Blue squad. Call me a broken record, but there is real value in what a team does away from home. Kentucky is 3-4 on road or neutral courts, with no wins against top 50 teams in that sample. A lack of shooting has become a genuine concern for John Calipari's club.
Only two teams in the nation score a lower percentage of their points from outside the arc than Kentucky (Morgan State and Pacific). Kentucky has made 89 threes this year. Villanova has made 190 threes, Kansas has made 195, and Marquette has made 221. That kind of gap means any hot shooting team can beat Kentucky. Trading twos for threes only works if you can really, really defend and the Wildcats are merely good, not great on that end of the floor.
Tennessee and Auburn: Look, we get it. You're hot SEC teams. For now, as long as you have Rick Barnes and Bruce Pearl coaching, there are question marks. We need to see plenty more from these two before we become believers. In fact, while writing this column, they lost at Missouri and at Alabama, respectively. I KNEW YOU COULDN'T BE TRUSTED.
Ohio State: Keita Bates-Diop is a really good player, with not enough help to make a real run in March. Let's see how the Buckeyes handle the back half of the Big Ten schedule before penciling them past the first weekend of the tournament.
Saint Mary's: The Gaels have a very defined plan. Surround post-scorer Jock Landale with knockdown shooters and dare teams to double-team him. It's worked, to the tune of the 3rd most efficient offense in America. Problem? Saint Mary's sits outside the top 100 in defensive efficiency, struggling to force turnovers or contest shots. They won their Super Bowl on Thursday night at Gonzaga, taking advantage of some lazy and sloppy Gonzaga play. To pencil them past the Sweet Sixteen, I'd like to see them beat Gonzaga at home as well. And maybe in the WCC Tournament too, for good measure.
The Eighteen Contenders
18. Miami: The Canes can defend, but have trouble scoring. Some of that may just be a collective shooting drought. JaQuan Newton and Bruce Brown have both seen their 3-point percentages drop by 10 points this season compared to last year. Freshman Lonnie Walker shot 4 for 26 from outside the arc over an eight game stretch. If not it's not just a cold streak, it likely has something to do with the Hurricanes low assist rate. So far this season, they haven't searched for the right shot enough times down the floor. If Jim Larranaga can instill some more discerning shot selection in his young team by March, they are a factor.
17. Nevada: Wait, Nevada? Yes! Nevada!
The Wolfpack has lost just three times this season, with two of those three losses coming to top 25 ranked Big 12 teams. They shoot the lights out from all over the floor, notching 41 percent from 3-point land as a team. Four Nevada players are shooting better than 45 percent (!!) from outside on the season. One of those four is leading scorer Caleb Martin. His twin brother Cody Martin is shooting only 25 percent from deep. You can't tell me Caleb isn't getting an open shot every once in a while from defenders forgetting which twin can shoot.
16. Creighton: Two things win in March: defense and guard play. The Bluejays have both. The backcourt of Marcus Foster and Khyri Thomas is among the nation's best. Foster is a volume shooter with microwave-ean heat-up-ability, while Thomas is a steady going, defensive stopper. I'd like to see some road wins in the Big East to feel better about them, yet having the ability to get stops and get buckets in crunch time can carry them. (Update: A season-ending injury to starter Martin Krampelj is cause for concern. This is the second straight year the Jays have lost a starter to an ACL tear. What's in the water in Omaha?)
15. North Carolina: It's hard not to include the team that's been to back-to-back National Championship games in a list of Final Four contenders. Despite the Tar Heels flaws, Roy Williams is as experienced as anyone on a college sideline and Joel Berry is one of America's most reliable point guards. Carolina has some growing too do, but you'd be a fool to count them out.
14. Oklahoma: Trae Young is the best player in the country, without question. If he plays his best, nothing stands between him and the Final Four. If teams attack him relentlessly the way Kansas State did this week (Young notched 12 turnovers), the other Sooners aren't good enough to buoy the team against top competition.
13. Arizona State: Yes, the Sun Devils have lost four of six and sit at just 2-4 in the Pac-12. I'm still a believer based on the way we've seen them play this season. Three of the four loses came on the road. Three of the four came at the hands of a top-100 team, with the fourth happening in the altitude at Colorado. Arizona State's six best players can still compete with any team in the country.
In March, when games slow down and TV timeouts feel even longer, the Devils lack of depth shouldn't disqualify them from making a run. I'd rather bet on Tra Holder than against him.
12. West Virginia: It is often difficult to imagine a team with such a defined identity making a run deep into March. West Virginia depends on the success of its pressure defense, earning the nickname "Press Virginia." In most years, if they run into one team with confident guards who can handle the trapping, doubling nature of the Mountaineers defense, they get bounced from the Big Dance. Last year, Gonzaga had problems with the press, yet survived thanks to a sensitive set of whistles from the zebras. West Virginia, like the Seattle Seahawks' secondary, plays very aggressively and dares the officials to call every infraction. Last March, the refs called the bluff and called 51 fouls in that game. (Before you point out that I'm a biased Zags fan, I'll point out that more fouls were called on Gonzaga in that game than West Virginia).
This year's Mountaineers still have intense pressure defense, yet they have capable scorers. Senior guard Jevon Carter and junior swingman Esa Ahmad are real scoring options. Against Kansas, Carter settled for threes, couldn't sink anything, and they collapsed down the stretch. By March, Bob Huggins needs a better solution for offense on important possessions.
11. Wichita State: For the Shockers to make a real run in March, Landry Shamet needs to play like an All-American. Right now, he's contributing 16.3 points and 5.3 assists per game, ranked in the top ten nationally in 3-point percentage, offensive rating, and true shooting percentage. Ok, maybe he's already playing great.
Maybe the rest of the team needs to pick up the slack? Well, Conner Frankamp leads the nation in turnover rate, recording just six turnovers this season in more than 400 minutes. Markis McDuffie is still just seven games into his season after suffering an injury. Shaq Morris has hit 15 points in seven games, included a 25 point, 7 rebound, 4 block beauty against Cal.
Maybe the Shockers are right on track.
10. Kansas: I've noted the issues with the Jayhawks in detail in this space, so their presence on this list may surprise you. They remain a threat for two reasons. First, previously ineligible freshman Silvio De Sousa is here to help with Kansas' depth issues. Currently ineligible freshman, and five-star recruit, Billy Preston may not be far behind.
Second, Kansas' big problem is often misconstrued as "They are shooting too many threes". That's more of a symptom than a true problem. The real issue is the lack of offensive aggressiveness. The Jayhawks are not built to attack the paint and almost never do. They don't draw fouls, or even create shots with penetration effectively. The threes they are taking aren't even open at times because the Jayhawks struggle to create for others off the dribble. This is a real problem, but it can be overcome. Shooting a ton of threes is dangerous. With shooters like Devonte' Graham, Sweet Svi Mykhialiuk, and Lagerald Vick, it is a little less dangerous. Kansas could go cold, fail to attack the paint, and lose in the first round. Kansas could also get Billy Preston into the lineup and get surface-of-the-sun hot from outside, shooting their way through the month of March.
9. Gonzaga: Six Zags are averaging double digit scoring. They rank in the top 20 in offensive and defensive efficiency. They shoot the best two point percentage in the nation, thanks to a willingness to find the open man. The majority of the team experienced the rigors of a Final Four run just last year. Seems like enough reasons. Does a home loss to Saint Mary's raise some red flags? It does, but an experienced coaching staff can likely get more out of that loss than they would have out of a win.
8. Cincinnati: Defense. Defense. Defense. Ranked second in the nation on that end of the floor, due to some otherworldly athleticism and tenacity. The difference between this team and your usual Bearcats club? Jacob Evans and Gary Clark are real scorers.
Most Cincy teams struggle to find points. Mick Cronin knows he can count on Evans and Clark to produce offensively this season. Cincinnati has lost just twice, consecutive games in early December at Xavier and to Florida on a neutral floor. If your favorite team meets the Bearcats in March, good luck. This team will outwork their counterparts for 40 minutes every game.
7. Texas Tech: Earlier this week, I wrote, "If the Texas Tech bandwagon was an actual wagon, I'd have a bridle in my mouth and be pulling the train behind me like a beast of burden." Despite that, the Red Raiders have lost two of their last three games. Both losses came on the road to worthy Big 12 opponents. Texas Tech will be a threat to advance in March as long as they are one of America's best defensive teams. For now, that's still very much the case.
6. Arizona: If you ignore Arizona's trip to the Bahamas, the Wildcats would be 15-1 with their only loss coming at Colorado (the top ranked home-court advantage on KenPom). Since Rawle Alkins returned from injury, Arizona has looked like one of the best teams in the country. The Wildcats are as talented as anyone. Deandre Ayton is Shaq with a jump shot. When his motor gets going, he's unstoppable.
5. Duke: Coach K starts four freshman who will be first round draft picks and Grayson Allen. That's about all I need to say. Marvin Bagley is a monster. He could make the Final Four on his own.
4. Michigan State: Much has been made of Miles Bridges, a 6-foot-9 athletic specimen, sliding to the small forward position this season. He now plays alongside freshman phenom Jaren Jackson and behemoth center Nick Ward, clogging things up in the lane. Bridges is shooting 5.8 threes per game and sinking just 33 percent of them. Contrary to popular belief, this isn't that much of a change for Bridges. He took 5.1 threes last season, but he made 38 percent of those attempts.
It's hard to say exactly how Michigan State should handle this game of big-man-three-card-monty, but I can say confidently that no one is better suited to find the answer than Tom Izzo. Until he does find an offensive answer, the Spartans still lead the nation in blocking shots and preventing 2-point baskets. It's not like the offense is really all that broken. Sparty leads the country in assist rate too.
3. Virginia: Playing Virginia is like wrestling a boa constrictor. It won't be quick. It won't be flashy. It will, however, be impressive and effective. The Pack Line defense is not an easy system to rely on, but it works because Virginia has the athletes and the coaching staff to pull it off. Opponents are shooting under 30 percent from outside the arc and just a tick over 40 percent inside the arc against Virginia. Every team that lines up against the Hoos needs to be prepared for a slogfest with an onslaught of body blows.
Making things even scarier, this Virginia team can get hot offensively. Devon Hall, Ty Jerome, and Kyle Guy are three of the best shooters in college basketball. Not just three of the best shooting teammates, those three are individually among the best shooters anywhere in the sport. Defending this team requires a remarkable amount of quickness and perfect close-outs on every open shot. Virginia patiently waiting not just for good shots but for great looks makes that task all that much more difficult.
2. Purdue: Matt Painter has built something in West Lafayette. His Purdue team has an embarrassment of riches up and down the roster. Most teams want one senior who is endlessly reliable on both ends of the floor. Purdue has Vince Edwards and Dakota Mathias. Most teams want a few good outside shooters. Purdue has five guys making 39 percent or better this season. Teams would love a point guard who can initiate their offense. Purdue has PJ Thompson and Carsen Edwards. Every coach wishes he had a 7-footer with skills. Isaac Haas and Matt Haarms are both freaky tall and sneaky talented. The Boilermakers are ranked in the top six in Division I in offense and defense. They haven't lost since Thanksgiving. Find me a flaw. I'm still looking.
1. Villanova: Best offense in the nation. Two All-Americans. Only loss came at Butler when the Bulldogs shot 15-22 from outside the arc. The only two ways the Cats get bounced is if someone can shoot like Butler did that day or maybe if they run into a dominant big man. Omari Spellman is young and learning defensively. He's also the only relevant Villanova player taller than 6'7. Villanova would struggle with a real dominant post player in March. We'll see how they do with two cracks at Seton Hall's Angel Delgado.

DHL's graduate interview questions: how to answer them
Get the inside buzz from graduates at DHL
Employer Hubs / Dhl Supply Chain / Get the inside buzz from graduates at DHL
"Graduates have a good status within the organisation and are seen as leaders for the future. There are many graduates in management positions that have also taken new graduates under their wing, which is refreshing and very helpful. To move up the ranks takes commitment, hard work and a little bit of luck that the right opportunity arises."
Graduate, London
"It's easy to get stuck in a certain position but, at the same time, if you seek out opportunities and make an action plan there is nothing stopping you from going higher."
Graduate, North West
"There are always opportunities to progress. Doing so requires you to demonstrate above-adequate skills and the ability to resolve problems in a timely manner."
Graduate, Rugby
"I have not yet finished the graduate scheme but I know of many people within the company who have progressed from it to have good careers in more senior roles."
Graduate, Milton Keynes
"You must be driven and push to move up the ranks. If you don't go over and above what people expect of you, you'll find it difficult to be promoted."
Graduate, Daventry
"Graduates come in at a higher level, which is positive. Expect to move up a rank every two or three years if you are hard-working and good at what you do. There is still an element of 'who you know' so having good relationships with executives can help."
Graduate, Stoke-on-Trent
"All of the past graduates I've met in the business have accelerated quickly to key roles. There is also wide scope to move abroad to one of our other regions globally. It's still very much a 'who you know' kind of business but the internal jobs board is updated regularly with roles across the company."
"I have been told that there are opportunities to move up in the organisation and there are plenty of examples of ex-graduates who have worked their way up. I think the message is that, if you work hard at what you do, there is plenty of scope to progress higher."
Graduate, Manchester
"It very much depends on the site and contract you are on. As long as you work hard it's a meritocratic company and you will be promoted."
Supply Chain, Graduate, Stoke on Trent
"At this company it's all about leveraging your own potential – you have to make your own opportunities. Nothing gets handed to you just because you are a graduate and this is really important to remember. Network, get yourself known in the business, research jobs and find a mentor. You will soon find yourself getting that next promotion. I have recently secured my permanent job from the grad scheme and can already see the promotion potential. If you speak to your manager and make it known what you hope to gain out of your career, they will be supportive of you."
Supply Chain, Graduate, Staffordshire
"Decent possibilities for moving up if you are willing to relocate."
"Due to the sheer size of the organisation, you need to remain flexible about where you are located. Promotion is certainly possible for individuals with the right drive and mentality."
"Seeing former grads just a few years older than me in management positions is very encouraging."
"The company knows it needs energetic individuals. So long as you put the effort in, the opportunity is there. Network and go out to look for the opportunities."
Graduate, Coventry
"So far it seems that this is very easy to do. If you're right for the role, you will be in with a good shot to go for it. I was promoted into a more senior role after just three months at DHL where I managed a team in the department. This was great for my development."
"Promotion is based primarily on merit and if you do a good job this will be recognised. Many former graduates have risen rapidly through the ranks. It is of course important to network and impress the right people in order to progress. Making your work visible to these key individuals is sure to get you noticed."
"The company is always growing so there are always opportunities. There is an element of luck and being in the right place at the right time however hard work and good performance will be quickly recognised and play the significant factor."
Experienced, Midlands
"I think once you have built enough experience in supply chain/logistics it is easy to move into promotions/management. Certain career paths e.g. in project management require certain training but if you express this interest it is unlikely that the business will not support you in this. I have also seen that it is common for managers to take "side-steps" in their career, to move into a different division or function in the business e.g. from Law to HR or Ops to Central Functions."
"I applied for a Commercial Manager role during my second placement thinking I wouldn't hear anything and ended up being offered the role! So the opportunities for promotion are there if you want them badly enough! The feedback from my interview was that I had the drive and want to succeed and that's what helped me be chosen for the role."
Graduate, Birmingham

Q: ForEach - Index out of range? Why running this code shows "Fatal error: Index out of range"?
import SwiftUI

struct MyData {
    var numbers = [Int](repeating: 0, count: 5)
}

@main
struct TrySwiftApp: App {
    @State var myData = MyData()

    var body: some Scene {
        WindowGroup {
            ChildView(myData: myData)
                .frame(width: 100, height: 100)
                .onAppear {
                    myData.numbers.removeFirst() // change myData
                }
        }
    }
}

struct ChildView: View {
    let myData: MyData // a constant

    var body: some View {
        ForEach(myData.numbers.indices) {
            Text("\(myData.numbers[$0])") // Thread 1: Fatal error: Index out of range
        }
    }
}

After checking other questions,
I know I can fix it by following ways
// fix 1: add id
ForEach(myData.numbers.indices, id: \.self) {
  //...
}

or
// Edited:
//
// This is not a fix, see George's reply
//
// fix 2: make ChildView conforms to Equatable
struct ChildView: View, Equatable {
    static func == (lhs: ChildView, rhs: ChildView) -> Bool {
        rhs.myData.numbers == rhs.myData.numbers
    }

    ...

My Questions:

How a constant value (defined by let) got out of sync?

What ForEach really did?

A: Let me give you a simple example to show you what happened:
struct ContentView: View {

    @State private var lowerBound: Int = 0

    var body: some View {

        ForEach(lowerBound..<11) { index in
            Text(String(describing: index))
        }

        Button("update") { lowerBound = 5 }.padding()

    }

}

if you look at the upper code you would see that I am initializing a ForEach JUST with a Range like this: lowerBound..<11 which it means this 0..<11, when you do this you are telling SwiftUI, hey this is my range and it will not change! It is a constant Range! and SwiftUI says ok! if you are not going update upper or lower bound you can use ForEach without showing or given id! But if you see my code again! I am updating lowerBound of ForEach and with this action I am breaking my agreement about constant Range! So SwiftUI comes and tell us if you are going update my ForEach range in count or any thing then you have to use an id then you can update the given range! And the reason is because if we have 2 same item with same value, SwiftUI would have issue to know which one you say! with using an id we are solving the identification issue for SwiftUI! About id you can use it like this: id:\.self or like this id:\.customID if your struct conform to Hash-able protocol, or in last case you can stop using id if you confrom your struct to identifiable protocol! then ForEach would magically sink itself with that.
Now see the edited code, it will build and run because we solved the issue of identification:
struct ContentView: View {

    @State private var lowerBound: Int = 0

    var body: some View {

        ForEach(lowerBound..<11, id:\.self) { index in
            Text(String(describing: index))
        }

        Button("update") { lowerBound = 5 }.padding()

    }

}

A: Things go wrong when you do myData.numbers.removeFirst(), because now myData.numbers.indices has changed and so the range in the ForEach showing Text causes problems.
You should see the following warning (at least I do in Xcode 13b5) hinting this could cause issues:

Non-constant range: not an integer range

The reason it is not constant is because MyData's numbers property is a var, not let, meaning it can change / not constant - and you do change this. However the warning only shows because you aren't directly using a range literal in the ForEach initializer, so it assumes it's not constant because it doesn't know.
As you say, you have some fixes. Solution 1 where you provide id: \.self works because now it uses a different initializer. Definition for the initializer you are using:

@available(iOS 13.0, macOS 10.15, tvOS 13.0, watchOS 6.0, *)
extension ForEach where Data == Range<Int>, ID == Int, Content : View {

    /// Creates an instance that computes views on demand over a given constant
    /// range.
    ///
    /// The instance only reads the initial value of the provided `data` and
    /// doesn't need to identify views across updates. To compute views on
    /// demand over a dynamic range, use ``ForEach/init(_:id:content:)``.
    ///
    /// - Parameters:
    ///   - data: A constant range.
    ///   - content: The view builder that creates views dynamically.
    public init(_ data: Range<Int>, @ViewBuilder content: @escaping (Int) -> Content)
}

Stating:

The instance only reads the initial value of the provided data and doesn't need to identify views across updates. To compute views on demand over a dynamic range, use ForEach/init(_:id:content:).

So that's why your solution 1 worked. You switched to the initializer which didn't assume the data was constant and would never change.
Your solution 2 isn't really a "solution". It just doesn't update the view at all, because myData.numbers changes so early that it is always equal, so the view never updates. You can see the view still has 5 lines of Text, rather than 4.

If you still have issues with accessing the elements in this ForEach and get out-of-bounds errors, this answer may help.


We are all here because we enjoy modelling stormwater, or some other water system that generally incorporates free surface flow, but we often lose sight of what we are truly trying to achieve, and we may lose sight of the practicalities surrounding our investigation or modelling. I would like to talk about some of my experiences in the practical aspects of stormwater management and modelling. My address, containing numerous slides of real world examples, will cover some aspects of the process that we follow to achieve a practicable, sustainable and maintainable stormwater management system.
The basic tenets of stormwater management; that it is a space management problem and that water flows downhill without respect for political or most structural boundaries (ASCE, 1992) are the starting point for any project of this type.
We must understand the objectives of our investigation, for example in flood calculation are we interested in flood mapping to identify hazards or bio-refuges, water quality management, river morphology and habitat deterioration, minor system design, street hazard identification etc.
Selection of the correct modelling tool is essential. Is the system so simple that we can make a quick (Ir)Rational Method calculation, is PCSWMM appropriate, is a design storm sufficient or do we have to build a continuous model, do we need a detailed ground water model, is 2D modelling necessary, is 1D modelling (e.g. HEC-RAS) appropriate or would PCSWMM be better. A model of a dam break on a steep mountain stream will be used as an example.
What can go wrong if you get the planning or detailing wrong, choose inappropriate materials, do not make allowance for unexpected events (ice blockages in Johannesburg), or do not maintain the system? But what can be achieved with simple interventions, especially in wetlands and urban river rehabilitation?
Consistency of approach and penetration, at least at city level, are important. There is a notable contrast in the standards applied to private developers compared to those applied to the statutory authorities, and the standards applied from community to community, for example the contrast in Seattle between Bainbridge Island and the City itself.

On the difference property of the family of functions with the Baire property
Acta Mathematica Hungarica
Volume 100: Issue 1-2
Author: R. Filipów
We show that it is consistent with ZFC that the family of functions with the Baire property has the difference property. That is, every function for which f(x + h)-f(x) has the Baire property for every h∈R is of the form f=g + Awhere g has the Baire property and A is additive.
On the Difference Property of Borel Measurable and $$s$$ -Measurable Functions
Volume 96: Issue 1-2
Authors: Rafał Filipów and Ireneusz Recław
Remarks on two problems by M. Laczkovich on functions with Borel measurable differences
Author: H. Fujita
We consider Problems 2 and 3 in [3] asked by M. Laczkovich concerning the difference property of Borel measurable functions. We show that the axiom of determinacy implies affirmative answer to Problem 2 (Theorem 2) and that Problem 3 is settled affirmatively for all infinite order Baire classes (Theorem 1.)
Nice Hamel bases under the Covering Property Axiom
https://doi.org/10.1023/b:amhu.0000049287.44877.2c
Authors: Krzysztof Ciesielski and Janusz Pawlikowski
We prove that axiom CPAgame prism, which follows from the Covering Property Axiom CPA and holds in the iterated perfect set model, implies that there exists a Hamel basis which is a union of less than continuum many pairwise disjoint perfect sets. We will also give two consequences of this last fact.
