And that's one of the UK's most powerful bargaining positions. It would seriously damage the economies of Eastern EU countries and put far more economic stress on Germany and France. It would lead to the collapse of the governments in various EU countries too. Isn't there a three month rule that can be activated for job seekers/unemployed from EU countries?
Legally, the freedom of movement of persons may be restricted in cases of fraud, abuse of rights, threats to public policy, public security or public health, and unreasonable burden on the social security system of the host Member State. The latter legal ground mainly targets economically inactive mobile EU citizens. Their right to stay in the host Member State for more than three months but less than five years is subject to their possessing sufficient resources and health insurance.
Host Member States are not obliged to provide social security benefits to economically inactive mobile EU citizens who do not fulfil the conditions of Article 14-1 of Directive 2004/38/EC on the retention of the right of residence. They are even allowed to terminate the stay of such citizens if all the material and procedural safeguards are fulfilled.
So do you know this, and are just lying, or did you vote in the referendum on the basis of mistaken information?
And what else have you got wrong?
This is quite simply not true.?
Ignorance can be cured by education.
How many countries have deported EU citizens and their families due to "inactivity"? What's the definition of inactivity? What if these "inactive" citizens move around?
Once they are in a country, any country, it is very hard to remove them.
By the way, you're quoting EU law to me and this law along with the 1972 law onwards have been repealed in the UK's EU Withdrawal Act 2018.
We're meant to be having Brexit, although you wouldn't know it.
So? You said that it wouldn't be possible to kick EU citizens out, even though it's possible to do so now.
Are you suggesting that post-Brexit, new limits on the rights of the U.K. to remove EU citizens may be enacted?
The point is that stated in the quoted text, in that EU citizens whether in work or not, will have a right to stay in the UK.
I'm sure you know who Shami Chakrabarti is (or was) and other civil rights lawyers like her. It is very difficult to deport someone once they are in a host country, especially with such a liberal judiciary. However, I'd agree with you that the UK has been too weak in upholding its own interests, in this regards.
Lawyers love words like inactive, they can argue about such things for years and have done so. Add in dependent children, sick mothers etc and no UK court would deport such "inactive" "citizens."
So? You said that it wouldn't be possible to kick EU citizens out, even though it's possible to do so now.Are you suggesting that post-Brexit, new limits on the rights of the U.K. to remove EU citizens may be enacted?
Yes, that's in the draft withdrawal agreement, as currently written which is perverse considering the UK loses certain rights, the ones you've already stated.
LOL. You're actually saying that British MPs who can't bring themselves to sign off on the backstop haven't noticed/have no problem with the fact that leaving the EU would actually make it harder for them to deport EU citizens on benefits etc than it currently is? I mean, given that removing FOM was one of their main aims in leaving the EU in the first place.
Well, I'm not sure how it's the EU's fault if the British Parliament is composed of idiots, TBH.
More delusion and blaming rings round you based on your own prejudices - earlier you said it couldn't be done because of the EU, now you're blaming British institutions. It can be done, the British just don't want to. It's going to be tough for them when they lose their go-to scapegoat for everything, though isn't it?
Lol. More fool them then. If it's true. As I say, there's no cure for stupidity among your own people.
The ECJ does not have sole authority over any disagreement. The direct jurisdiction of the ECJ only applies in respect of certain Protocol articles. Article 20 - the review mechanism - is not one of them.
Any dispute about the application of Article 20 would be resolved by an independent arbitration panel, not the ECJ.
1. Legacy rights of the current cohort of EU citizens is not the same as free movement.
2. It is absolutely right that the rights of people who, in some cases, have lived in the UK for decades with certain legal protections, should be safeguarded. Anything less would be abhorrent. The same is true of the rights of UK nationals in the EU.
3. The protection of citizens rights was one of the UK's and the EU's earliest pledges. It was one supported by all parties (including UKIP). So much so that the UK has now said that even if there is no deal, it will still afford existing EU citizens in the UK the same rights they have now.
4. As others have pointed out, preserving EU citizenship rights does not remove the ability to remove people under certain circumstances which are already allowed for under EU law.
Assuming the UK does come out of the backstop, (or the backstop gets dropped from the agreement) the UK will still have to have "due regard" for EU law.
The due regard is to judgments of the ECJ when UK courts are interpreting legacy EU law which will apply to ongoing cases and procedures that continue after withdrawal. For example, if there is a custody case in the UK concerning a custody arrangement ordered by an EU MS court while the UK was still a member, it is right for the purposes of certainty that the EU law being applied in that case should be interpreted correctly.
Leaving the EU does not remove basic principles, like that the law which applied at the time facts of a case arose should be the law that governs that case.
But if the UK stays in the backstop, then its full ECJ control.
No it's not. In the backstop, the ECJ only has direct jurisdiction in respect of a small body of EU law that will apply in Northern Ireland. It has no jurisdiction over any law applying in the rest of the UK, or over any non-EU law applying in Northern Ireland.
That's also wrong. The only circumstances in which the UK would be paying more than is already agreed as part of the WA financial settlement is if (a) it agrees to contribute to the EU budget as part of future partnership discussions; or (b) if the transition period gets extended.
If the backstop is triggered, the UK will not be paying any more money.
You've gotten so much wrong on what's in the agreement, it really is stunning.
The law that will apply to the current cohort of EU nationals in the UK is EU law as it current stands (more accurately, as it stands at the end of the transition period). So where EU law allows for removals now, that will apply in the UK after withdrawal for the current cohort of citizens.
The only difference is that it will apply by virtue of the Withdrawal Agreement - to be given domestic effect in the Withdrawal Agreement Bill which would follow any vote by the Commons to approve a deal, rather than by virtue of the EU Treaties and the European Communities Act 1972. But the law will be identical.


It's a four sock day out there in the capital of culture, with snow flurrying from apologetic freckles to a full on white-out at the drop of a hat. Now my advice to those who cry: don't drop your hat, your ears'll get cold.
Can you feel the wind of change? The future's in the air. Well, we are playing Lincoln.
Town lined up in blue in a bog standard 4:4:2 formation as follows: McKeown, Hall-Johnson, Clarke, Collins, Fox, Clifton, Berrett, Davies, Woolford, Cardwell and Matt. The substitutes were Killip, Mills, Rose, DJ Jinky, Dembele, McSheffrey and Vernon. Who's where in today's unlucky dip? Davies was in central midfield and everyone else where you'd guess they would be, though possibly not want them to be. Yes, Jamille Matt, we wish we weren't looking at you. I'm sure you're not enjoying life either. Hey Mikey, don't take it personally, it's only business.
But we don't want business as usual. We want some snow business.
Oh look, a load of Lincoln City followers gathered together in a wave and grooving with a stick. Where were they when they were less fab? BHS probably, a long time ago when we were merely drab. It's a different world in a different time, before the madness descended.
Look to your right side, Luke and feel the force: such silly toytown tifosi toshery and the littering of Lincoln. A banner headline of pretentious cobblers and the release of a thousand plastic sheets of peace onto the pitch and the South Common. Are they bio-degradable? You're the boys from Boultham Park, the gentleman of the Gillies, not soldiers of the San Siro. Grow up: you look and sound ridiculous.
There's divots all over the pitch (Stage direction: turn to audience and raise left eyebrow).
Michael Jolley stalked the technical area without coat, gloves or hat, simply suited. When you've stood in Sweden, a snow shower at Sincil Bank is like a summer's day in Skeggy. Trouserless Dave Moore wore a thin windcheater and an even thinner smile. He's Town through thick managers and thin times.
Did you know that Trouserless Dave Moore plays the blues at the Spider's Web every Thursday at 9, after the tombola? You didn't? Someone has to keep the Ces and Len flame flying.
Oh, do you really want to know what happened next? If you must: football facts and friction to follow.
Lincoln kicked off downwind and away from approximately 1,696 Townites. They bigged and beefed with early elbows from The Fatman. Yes, their pantomime dame was back, Mr Matt Rhead and his chortling chubby charm chuntered after chips.
The wind, the wind, the mighty swirling wind, howled into Jamie Mack's face. The ball sailed up and over, skittling south from Impite wellies, banana-balling from McKeown's drop kicks. Town were penned back by the wind as Lincoln lumped it forward in lumpen fashion for a right lumpy gravyboat of bilge. Nothing happened, the City of Lincoln, as usual, paralysed by a traffic jam of tripery.
I suppose that makes us daytripers.
Cardwell almost ran near goal wth the ball somewhere in the vicinity of his physical, human body. Davies had a shot. It happened, you may as well be told. Deflected for a corner it was. You don't need to be told what happened next.
Matt stooped as a red boot swooped somewhere out there in the haze. The free kick was foxily dinked and a red head helpfully snickled highly to the centre of the Lincoln penalty area. Cardwell crawled upwards and glancy-grazed a loopy header goalwards. The ball plopped against the angle of post and bar, dropping beautifully, perfectly, four yards out to blue feet. Woolford calmly took stock and stroked the ball into the emptiness, not the empty net. The ball hit the pink gloves and white post and bounded away across the face of goal never to be seen again.
Town having a shot. Does life get any better? Shall we go home now?
The wind did blow and Hall-Johnson was blown backwards as he surged. Hall-Johnson surged in sudden doldrum and Harry Cardwell missed his nod six yards out.
Half an hour gone and Jamie Mack hadn't had a thing to do… Ah.
Here comes the apple crumble.
In came the corner, up went big heads and blue heads, skewering sideways and on to Frecklington, on the left edge of the Town area. The small village near Sleaford miffled a volley bumbling through a thicket of blue socks. Past one, two, three bluemen, Davies stuck out a leg and flicked the ball into the bottom right corner.
Town are shot, life does not get any better. Shall we go home now?
Harrying, hassling, blocking and flocking forward with vigour and vim, the Red Stripes shortened their punts and lengthened their stride. Clifton threw himself at a swipe, Jamie Mack sprawled to block the offside Whitehouse. Dinking down their left Clarke's clearance was charged down, and thricely knockings saw the ball balloon back towards the corner flag. Clarke dithered and Frecklington back-flicked through old legs to set a chum free along the bye-line. A cross, stretch and the unmarked Green slid in from the centre of the six-yard box.
They probably missed again. Does it matter anymore? It's over. It's all over. This old beached whale is dead.
And here we go again. Again. A corner, half uncleared with underpowered heads and undermanned holes. The ball dropped to the unmolested Wharton, dead centre of everything, who carefully steered the ball generally goalwardsish and everyone watched it meander gently into the bottom right corner.
They probably had another shot or something. Who cares? Hey Mikey, this sky is falling under you. Forget the deadbeats you've been left, they will not follow you. It's all over now for the babies in blue.
Snow, wind, wind and snow. Yes, and how many times can Matt turn his headpretending that he just doesn't see? We're flapping in the wind.
Two minutes were added as Town swept forward. The ball dropped to Clifton, 20 yards out, who swept a dripper and Allsop arose to finger-tipple over. Hurrah for Harry. Hats off to… Actually, keep the hats on. It's very cold. The corner drooped and Whitehouse slapped the ball off Clarke's forehead, eight yards out right in front of goal and in front of the referee's gaze. And the black arm of the law did point towards the penalty spot amid striped fake groaning. Davies waited for the sherbet to dip and plonked the ball into the top rightish corner off Allsop's pink fingers.
Lincoln were nothing special at all, but far more effective at being nothing special. Town excelled at being nothing and then the wind blew the ill-fitting toupee off. We need stronger chin-straps.
Town ran out early into a blizzard then ran back inside when they realised the referee and Impies weren't coming out into the whiteout. As the flurries faded we observed that McSheffrey had replaced Cardwell.
Mmm, that means Jamille Matt remains on the pitch. Hey, listen fellas, don't get excited, it's because he's tall.
Town had the reducing wind at their back. The wind was strong, but no longer wicked as the sun came out. Town: a bunch of long throws hurled at bigger blokes than we have. A bimble and a bumble, Matt spun and shinned straight to their keeper.
Ah, Lincoln, you used to be so small a long time ago when your grass was green and when we was fab. Walking down these unclean streets, distant memories buried in the past. We used to be a contender and now we pine for the days of the Parslow Point.
Aren't we just wasting our time? Hall-Johnson was replaced by Rose with Davies moving back to right back.
Up, up in the air in a beautiful balloon. Here's a tale. Let's spin a coin. Heads. Heads. Heads. Heads. Heads. Heads. Heads. Heads. Heads. Heads. Heads. Heads. Heads. Heads. A sideways Impie-skew, McSheffrey stretched to swipe over.
Heads. Heads. Heads. Heads. Heads. Heads. Heads. Heads. Heads. Heads. Heads. A sideways Impie-skew, McSheffrey stretched and collided with their keeper.
Lincolnite dawdling and dithering at a substitution, changing plans halfway through. Time ebbing away. Nothing was going on anywhere, red stripes content to let the fading blues twang around. The un-substituted winger Williams wandered off on a counter-attack, McKeown beat away the crackle and oh why-oh-why did I buy tickets for Coventry?
Oily Palmer replaced The Fatman and was determined to prove to the Town support that he can count to three. Frecklington flannelled from a channel, disturbing the grumbles of distant Grimbarians. At some point that cannot be identified for legal reasons DJ Jinky came on for Woolford. Martyn Woolford, were you ever here? There really will be no need to store your personal details when the General Data Protection Regulation comes into force in May. Hang on sleepy, that means Matt is still on the pitch.
Jamille Matt. Why? What's the point?
Minutes ticked on, car park charges crept up, potholes got bigger on the A46. McSheffrey drooled a tantalising free kick through the corridor of certainty between Allsop and Town's non-strikers. Collins hopped as we hoped for football fortune. Darn that lack of snowfall.
And in the end, during the four minutes of added time, when we needed a fox in the box, we only had Fox in the box. General muddiness and the floppy-fringed full-back was hooked on a feeling as he hooked onto the roof.
And finally we could go home.
Town looked feeble, mentally and physically. All it took for the house of straw to collapse was the big bad wolf to sneeze. If the materials aren't strong enough, and there are no foundations, the building will collapse, no matter what the new architect does.
We are relying on the kindness of strangers.


Bill Murray's Quick Change comes as close as any movie ever made to re-creating the actual lived experience of existence in New York City.
New York City is looking for one film to unite all New Yorkers, via a contest co-sponsored by the metropolis and the New York Times. But the five candidates on the short list are insufficient in that each of them speaks either to a distinct subculture unfamiliar to the majority (Crooklyn, The Wedding Banquet, Desperately Seeking Susan) or is a period piece from a vanished and unrecognizable era (New York, New York and On the Town).
Yet there is a film that speaks to all New Yorkers, now and probably forever: Quick Change.
The movie (which is now available on HBO platforms) is a 1990 Bill Murray bank robbery comedy, a more sardonic version of 1975's classic Dog Day Afternoon. The Al Pacino drama is also one of my favorites, but the way it romanticized batty rebels is a quintessentially 1970s fixation. Murray's movie (which is the only one he ever directed, in a joint effort with Howard Franklin) is timeless. It comes as close as any movie ever made to re-creating the actual lived experience of existence in New York City: vexation, exasperation, confusion, enforced waiting, mild chaos. Given a slight tweak, the film could be an episode of The Twilight Zone (a parallel with 1961's "Five Characters in Search of an Exit" comes to mind) about the soul-crushing futility of trying to escape the city. Quick Change is Gotham's rejoinder to "Hotel California": You can check out any time you like, but you can never find the exit ramp. "God, I hate this town," Murray says. Spoken like a true New Yorker. It's ironic that he works in the city planning department, because it's the city where nothing goes as planned.
Which is exactly what happens. The bank robbers get lost on the way to the airport because of road work, and because the construction workers who took down a key sign don't know the neighborhood and will accept no responsibility for replacing the sign. "Not today," they explain. "Today's just taking s**t down." Another attempt to ask directions is foiled when the man they stop turns out to be preparing to engage in a bicycle jousting match with garden implements. The most normal fellow they can find to ask for help — a preppy type in an anyone-for-tennis sweater and a car with Iowa license plates — instead robs them of the clothes they were going to change into.
New York in recent decades hasn't been plagued by pervasive violence, as in Taxi Driver, or moral and literal filth, as in Midnight Cowboy, or even sinister bands of mimes in matching outfits and top hats, as in The Warriors. It's more like a spider web of the frustrating and weird, each filament hopelessly entangling you in another. The more you struggle, the more you get stuck.
As Grimm and pals are trying to change clothes in an apartment, they lose their car because of the following interlinked events: There is no place to park, so they leave the car at a hydrant. A fire breaks out in a nearby building, so the firemen destroy their car and drag it away from the hydrant. And the robbers can't do anything but watch because a) they're being held at gunpoint in a case of mistaken identity by a twitchy tenant (the late Phil Hartman) who has a gun because he has been mugged three times, and b) because the conversation drags on way too long owing to a digression about sublets and comparative rents. Their effort to escape Queens turns into an urban take on the Battle of Bosworth Field when they run down the street crying: "Taxi! Taxi! $10,000 for a Taxi!" When they find a cabdriver, he speaks no English, is ignorant of basic traffic laws, and doesn't know how to get to the airport. When they board a bus, it's exact change only, and a proffered $100 bill is inexact. When the bus takes them not to the airport but "near the airport," they're left on an unlit deserted street where a lone dog roams and a woman is screaming in Spanish in the distance.
In other words, the film is practically a documentary. If you want to live in New York, someone tells the banker-plutocrat Sherman McCoy in The Bonfire of the Vanities, you've got to "insulate, insulate, insulate" from the chaos. But in Tom Wolfe's vision only the super-rich even have a prayer at pulling it off, and Sherman's case demonstrates, when he also gets lost on an airport trip because of poor signage, that even Masters of the Universe can't completely insulate.
"It's a helluva town," the sailors sing in On the Town. "I'll make a brand new start of it in old New York," Liza Minnelli sings in New York, New York. In Quick Change, Grimm's most fervent wish is to get away from New York in order to "live out our lives with a modicum of dignity." Which is the moment when what's left of his wrecked car passes by, at the humiliated end of a tow truck.

'Game Of Thrones' Interview With The Former Hand-Of-The-King, Peter Dinklage Returns As The Angry Tyrion Lannister, Highlight Hollywood News
March 30, 2013 TV
Possibly the most popular character on "Game of Thrones," aside from the Mother of Dragons and Night Watchman Jon Snow, Tyrian Lannister ended the season permanently scarred and carrying a grudge against his sister Queen Cersei, who he believes tried to have him killed in the Battle of Black Water Bay. He was a part of last season's hugely popular storyline arc, and although he returns this season in a lesser capacity (hear the screaming?), Dinklage is still very excited about Tyrion's determination to best his sister, and even to stand up to his dad, and incest-induced insane nephew, King Joffrey, who sits on the Iron Throne.
Knowing he's cast with at least two dozen other important characters, Tyrion's portrayer is fine with being on the backburner this season. "I don't mind," he says, and then adds in a very Tyrion-like aside: "My character probably minds."
"It's still fun, but easier," he says. "I've had fewer days shooting. With all the [show's] different story lines, the focus sometimes shifts, which is fine."
But, you can expect everyone in King's Landing to notice Tyrion's new battle wounds. Including daddy and mean sister, Cersei. "The three of us spar a lot this season," Dinklage says. "That's a challenge because we're a family and it's a family with a very dark history with each other. They're really rich, really well-written long scenes — six-page scenes — of just us talking. I really want to do those justice, you really want to serve it well."
But, don't expect Tyrion to start whining yet. He's been hated every since the night his mother died giving birth to him. "He's a survivor," Dinklage says. "He crawls his way back, to a certain extent. But that's what's fun about this character. He'll make the best out of every situation no matter what position he's put in."
"Game of Thrones" season three returns on Sunday night at 9 p.m. only on HBO!

Thus far, there's been talk (amongst @drakythe, @dailydevil, @nezuja, @secretowl, @hollow, @hawkeye and @evilteddy, to name a few) of centering the play around the Houses of Embermark, the NPCs revealed thus far and the Classes that the game will let players play. It's very early in this discussion and already there are shenanigans afoot. I make no promises about this discussion, but what if-- just what if-- some interesting ideas pop up here. Already, there are player-created items and NPCs designed in the game, even if those who created them don't know this already. Why not a game within a game?
I'm in on helping develop this. So far we've been tossing around the idea of having 6 suits, one for each house and having them rotate each turn on which is strongest.
I really, really like this and am currently working on some more ideas. I'll try to write something organized and definite up later tonight. Looking forward to the things people come up with!
Been working on a game, will have to run the 6 suits thing past my co-conspirator (mama bear) though. But we sill definitely be needing use of the "Shen" banana card for our game.
Hey guys, I'd like to thank @Drakythe and @Nezuja for their assistance with this. Threw together a quick idea for a possible Exiles card game, and would love your advice!
Nice-- u guys got after this design in Discord?
Indeed, and I'm impressed with the ideas flowing-- keep it rocking, and let's discuss in Discord how to move it into something Lore-ish that we can refer to, perhaps?

A: basically your problem arises due to the excessive use of positioning properties when actually you have very little need for it, so a refactoring of your html/css is needed so for css:
#showcase {
    height:200px;
    width:100%;
    background: url("file:///C:\Users\Raj\Desktop\Shashwat\images\mrx.jpg");
}
#Text {
    margin-top: 50px;
    text-align:right;
    margin-right:20px;
    font-size:20px;
    color: cyan;
}
#main {
    width: 900px;
    margin: 0 auto;
}
.fb-follow {
    float:right;
}
footer {
    display:inline-block;
    background:#141823;
}

In your html you can replace everything before your table with the following code, as you see it's more terse than the original:

        Singing Sensation of Doon : Shashwat J Pandit

Here it's the updated fiddle
Regarding the table that you use to showcase the videos using CSS columns would be a cleaner approach.

The Advantures of Tom Sawyer
Submitted by: dante3333
A. THESIS STAMENT
"The adventures of Tom Sawyer" is a wonderful novel written by Mark Twain about his own life experiences. Twain based the story largely on his personal memories so most figures in the story come from his childhood's village experiences. He used these experiences combine with his imagination to create the protagonist Tom Sawyer and his adventures that attracted many readers around the world. By analyzing Tom's characteristic and many events that happened in his life, we can find out more about the themes, motifs and symbols that were wonderfully expressed by Mark Twain's talented nib.
B. RESEARCH OBJECTIVE
By going the theme, motifs and symbols in the story, we can understand more deeply about the American society forty years ago.
C. OBJECTIVE QUESTIONS
To carry on this research paper we must answer these objective questions:
(1) What themes did Mark Twain used in the novel?
(2) What motifs did Mark Twain used in the novel?
(3) How many symbols in the novel?
II. BACKGROUND OF RESEARCH
A. METHOD OF STUDY
Method of study used in this research is library research. The information in this research is collected from many internet sources and e-books.
B. LITERATURE REVIEW
"Mark Twain was never able to get his hero out of boyhood, however, and the novel ends with its protagonist still preparing to make the transition into adult life."
"Thus we have two Toms: one who plays boyish pranks on his Aunt Polly - "hooking" an apple or doughnut when she is not looking, teasing her, and finding ways to get around her - and one who has the maturity to save an innocent man and protect a frightened girl."
"Tom Sawyer is a double-edged sword. His spontaneity causes him to be in constant trouble, but it also a spontaneity fuelled by a joy of life."
"Tom occupies a position between the free and the imprisoned. Under Aunt Polly's orders, he attends school, church and Sunday school."

Material Controller Duties
By Mary Dowd Updated October 18, 2021
What Is a Logistics & Operations Manager?
Shipping Department Job Duties
The General Job Responsibilities of a Production Operator
Job Description for Cash Handling
A Description of Logistic Specialist Jobs in the U.S. Army
Working diligently behind the scenes, material controllers ensure that customer orders arrive when promised. Also known as material recording clerks, they play a vital role in the supply chain by efficiently tracking and expediting the movement of products and supplies from one place to another. Specific material controller responsibilities include tracking shipping and receiving orders, inspecting incoming goods, monitoring inventory levels, and coordinating delivery schedules with a sense of urgency.
Material Controller Job Description
Material controller responsibilities focus on prioritizing daily activities to ensure that material movement is accurate, efficient and cost-effective. Essential tasks in a material controller's job description include ordering materials, scheduling shipments of products, estimating freight costs and tracking inventory with handheld scanners. Excellent communication skills are needed to work with management, line staff, vendors, purchasing agents and delivery trucks.
Material controllers also carefully inspect packaging and products for defects or mistakes in labeling. They complete paperwork in a timely manner and file documents. Any problems must be quickly resolved to prevent a bottleneck in the shipping process and late deliveries.
Material Controller Education Requirements
Entry-level material controllers typically require a high school diploma or equivalency; employers provide short on-the-job training. To be successful in this job, material controllers must be conscientious, organized and customer service oriented. Some aspiring material controllers earn credentials from a vocational school to help land jobs with companies that offer good wages and benefits.
For example, Northcentral Technical College offers an online 12-credit Materials Specialist Certificate. Students study material flow processes, inventory control, storage, distribution methods and lean principles operations. Saint Paul College offers an applied associate degree in supply chain logistics. Bachelor's and master's degrees in logistics and supply chain management at schools like Florida International University help prepare students for high-level executive positions.
Material controllers earned a median annual salary of $38,470 as of May 2020, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). The median is the point at which half of material controllers earned more and half earned less. Most of these workers earned between $26,370 at the 10th percentile to $63,980 at the 90th percentile.
Material Controller Industry
Material controllers spend much of their day in offices located inside production and distribution centers. Their job is challenging, fast-paced and high-pressure when deadlines are looming. They use computers to complete paperwork, update databases, check inventory and track shipments.
They may also spend time on the factory floor, which requires the use of personal protection equipment when they are exposed to loud noise, moving machinery, and other occupational hazards common in industrial settings. Some material controller job descriptions include forklift operator skills, which further increases the risk of injury from accidents.
Reliable and dependable laborers and assembly workers in a factory may be tapped for higher-skilled material controller positions. Initial on-the-job training takes about one month to learn the basics of inventory and recordkeeping. Some material controllers receive a few additional months of training to specialize as planning, production or expediting clerks.
Earning income potential can increase with performance, years of experience, and further education in logistics and supply chain management. The BLS states that some material controllers receive training or education to become purchasing agents within their own company.
Material Controller Growth Trend
Future job opportunities for material controllers will vary according to their specialization, the BLS reports. Between 2020 and 2030, opportunities for checkers, weighers and recordkeepers are projected to increase 11 percent, faster than the 8 percent average growth for all occupations in the U.S.
Planning, production and expediting clerk jobs will grow at an average pace. However, many material handling jobs are being automated, which will result in a 6 percent decline in shipping, receiving and inventory clerks over the decade.

BU Study Finds Brief Counseling for Drug Use Doesn't Work
In the past decade, the U.S. has invested heavily in a brief screening-and-intervention protocol for alcohol and other drugs. But a new study led by a Boston University School of Public Health (BUSPH) researcher casts doubt on whether that approach, which has proven successful with risky alcohol use, works for illicit drugs.
Led by Dr. Richard Saitz, professor and chair of community health sciences at BUSPH and professor of medicine at Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM), the study found that two well-established, brief counseling interventions did not reduce the continued use of marijuana, cocaine, or opioids. The study was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA).
Dr. Saitz said the findings raise questions about the federal government's advocacy – through the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration — of screening and brief interventions to address unhealthy drug use.
"Brief counseling can work for a lot of things, but we found no evidence to support the widespread implementation of universal screening and brief intervention for illicit drug use or prescription drug misuse," Dr. Saitz said. "In retrospect, drug use is a complicated problem. While there might have been some hope that something as simple as this would work, it now appears it doesn't."

Caution: This is not a Digi supported procedure if something goes wrong during the firmware upgrade you could brick your Digi USB xStick and have to send it back to Digi to be recovered.
What is this and why would you want to do it?
ZigBee mesh networks are self configuring and self healing and in larger networks it helps to know what nodes are routing who's information. You can't really control the network configuration but it helps to see the relationship between your nodes if your troubleshooting a connection problem.
The screen capture below is how my SmartThings ZigBee network looks when it is mapped out by the XCTU software. The SmartThings hub is the red C (coordinator) and the other devices with an R are ZigBee routers and E are ZigBee end nodes. If I log into my SmartThings IDE and look at "my devices" under the "Zigbee Id" column I can lookup each device's ZigBee address. For example the end node device 000D6F00032A0F17 is my SmartSense Open/Closed sensor, and I can see it is connected directly to the SmartThings hub with good signal strength.
This is not a ZigBee protocol analyzer. You can not see the ZigBee traffic between your nodes it simply maps out the routing table held by each ZigBee device on your network. Protocol analyzers are expensive and give you massive amounts of information that is really only useful to a device engineer or low level programmer.
This is also not going to tell you one single thing about your Z-Wave network. There is a fair chance a lot of your devices are Z-Wave so don't expect it to map those devices.
Install your XCTU software and plug in your USB dongle. Open the XCTU program and click on the scan icon to find your USB dongle.
Once the firmware update is complete you will now need to update the security settings of the radio so it is compatible with SmartThings. Download the XML configuration file form my CoopBoss.com web site and copy it to your local hard drive. Now click on Load configuration file (the little down arrow by the person icon) and write it to your USB dongle by clicking on the pencil icon.
Open your ZigBee network for joining by going to SmartThings on your smartphone and click on Connect New Device. At this point your USB dongle is looking for a valid ZigBee home automation network to join and you can see the status of this quest by scrolling down to the Diagnostic Commands and look at the AI (Association Indication) parameter. You should see a 21 or 23 or FF they all basically say it is looking for a network to join. When it reads 0 you have joined a valid ZigBee network and can start mapping out the nodes.

ZIgbee Net and Power failure, what happens?
This is really cool. Does anyone know if we can re-route a path manually instead of letting the network heal it self? Would that be possible through this software?
It is possible for a mains powered device (ZigBee router) to use "Source Routing" when sending a ZigBee packet. A Source routed packet includes the entire route the packet should traverse to get from source to destination. However that is done at the packet level by the device. This is usually for very special use cases and the change has to be made in the firmware of the device. The XCTU program is pretty passive it just reads the routing tables of the ZigBee routers. It can't be used to redefine your routing.
As a side note the SmartThings Hub uses Many-to-One Routing. It periodically broadcast a packet that triggers all ZigBee routers to update their routing table with the most efficient route to the hub. This insures all ZigBee routers have a fresh accurate route to the hub. In my experience SmartThings has nailed the ZigBee routing, my network has been rock solid.
ZigBee end nodes (battery powered devices) don't do any routing or know anything about the network's routes. They simply know who their parent is (ZigBee router or coordinator) and connect to it to send and receive data. If they can't connect to their parent or their parent has orphaned them because they didn't check in they will have to reconnect. Sometimes if two ZigBee routers are close to the same child it may jump back and forth between the two routers when it reconnects. The trick here is to not make it go through a reconnect process. If it does it usually isn't a problem your network typology will just change when it moves from one router to another. However, a child device that has to reconnect often will have poor battery life.
I'm curious, why do you want to change your ZigBee routing?
Can Things use only as a sensor without SmartThings hub?
Not really interested in changing the routing, but was keen to know if thats possible. Thanks for all the good information.
Tried this out… And its really cool!! Thanks for sharing. I mapped my Zigbee network…a good insight…considering I am a RF Engineer …Will be exploring this tool more.
It's interesting to hear this because it hasn't been my experience (nor other's, according to what I've read on the forums). In fact, just the other day I left my hub unplugged for a while to let the zigbee network rebuild since a new plug I had added a couple days before didn't seem to extend the range like I had hoped. After this I started getting better presence sensor range in the direction that I had added the plug.
Do you have any details on how often the routing tables are updated?
@JohnR Do you know why would all end points not show up when I run the mapping tool? I have about 7-8 battery operated sensors and only 2 show up on the mapping tool. All the Routers show up as expected.
No I don't, I have seen that on my network too. I suspect it has something to do with the location of your USB fob in respect to the end nodes. The nodes that don't show up on my map are connected to ZigBee routers that are more than one hop away from my USB fob. It also seems to report more of them over time. It would take a sniffer to really see what is going on.
I mostly use it to map my routers and to troubleshoot devices I'm working on.
Let me walk around in my house and see… if that changes.
The formation of the ZigBee network has nothing to do with the Many-to-One routing packet that is sent out by the coordinator. The goal of a Many-to-One route packet is to make sure the routers have a fresh route to the hub. What that route is depends on how the ZigBee network is formed.
Here is a screen shot of two Many to One Route Request packets broadcast by my hub, they were one minute apart. That's just an observation on my network. I'm not saying everyone's hub does the same thing. I just know both my hubs V1 and V2 send these packets out.
@ashutosh1982 should see the same thing. Ashutosh, if you get a chance click on the terminal tab of the xctu and start recording packets. You will receive all packets that are sent as broadcast. I'm curious if you get the same Many to One Route Request I see?
Ashutosh, if you get a chance click on the terminal tab of the xctu and start recording packets. You will receive all packets that are sent as broadcast. I'm curious if you get the same Many to One Route Request I see?
I found another interesting thing. I would like to hear your thoughts. See the picture below. The Device with ID 000D6F0002C8375C is Spruce and this confirms that it is acting like a repeater to my Garage Shutter Sensor which is ID D052A8008E570003 and my Wet Bar Fridge Contact which is ID000D6F0003FECC10. The problem is that these are the only zigbee end point devices that do not report their state correctly - I've been noticing since Spruce Installation that my garage fails to report open state or close state and is stuck in incorrect state - I have noticed the same with the wet bar fridge contact .The common factor I've seen is that the router is Spruce Irrigation Controller.
You could try just removing the Cree and see if that helps. Or if necessary, replacing it with a Hue or an Osram Lightify.
I would focus on your Spruce router at 0x000D6f0002c8375c first. It looks like it has a lot of connections as well as the two sensors. I wonder if the sensors are on the fringe of coverage and the router is not being very attentive to them. I would try having these devices connect to another ZigBee router. You could try turning off the Spruce router and see if another router is withing range and will pickup up the two end devices. If that doesn't work you could move your SmartThings Hub closer to the two end devices and test.
JD brings up a good point on the Cree Bulb but if you were having problems with it the Spruce Irrigation device would be having problems as well.
I will try shutting the Cree bulb off and see if that helps. Will keep you guys posted.
Once you get your xBee connected to the SmartThings HA network (following the steps outlined in the above thread) your journey has just begun.
Your device sends a device announce to the hub when powered on. See ZDO Cluster 0x0013 for details.
SmartThings receives the device announce and sends packets querying your device for a list of end points and supported clusters. See ZDO clusters 0x0005 and 0x0004 for details.
Your device responds to the above request with a list of end points and supported clusters. ZDO cluster 0x8005 and 0x8004 should be sent in response to the two packets sent in step 2 above.
SmartThings uses this list of supported clusters and endpoints to match your device to a device type that has a matching footprint.
If SmartThings finds a footprint match it will add it to your device with the name associated to the matching device type. If there is not a match SmartThings will add your device as a thing.
So if your not following the above steps that is why your device is not showing up in your "my devices" section of the IDE. To send commands to other devices you use ZigBee cluster commands. They are outlined in the ZigBee cluster library at ZigBee.org.
To send ZigBee Device Object (ZDO) commands with an xBee see the ZDO transmissions section on page 84 of the xBee's manual. You can find more information on ZDO commands in the ZigBee Specification.
To send public ZigBee Cluster commands see the section "Sending Public Profile Commands with the API" on page 179 of the xBee's manual. For a complete listing of public cluster commands see the ZigBee Cluster Library Specification.
As you can see this is not a trivial process and the first step may be to create a C library you can call to send the packets to the xBee. Are you sure an xBee is the right chip for you? I think dresden-elektronik in Germany may have a solution based on their radio with a ZigBee library ready to go. Another route you may want to explore is to talk to the SmartThings hub over WiFi instead of ZigBee. ZigBee is designed for small devices that normally don't have a operating system like a Pi.
Thanks for the reply JohnR.
Here is the thing I have worked with networks created by simple xbee S2 devices, in API mode and sent and received commands to them through Python-xbee library on raspberry pi, now what i want is to use dresde-elektroni's device to act as coordinator and through python codes send and receive commands to other xbee devices present in the network. But it seems python-xbee library is not compatible with derfMega256. So please could you direct me to proper texts or help me out with sending and receiving data using derfmega 256 (from deCONZ) configured as coordinator.
Man did I misunderstand your question. Sounds like what your doing has nothing to do with SmartThings.


Starting from last week and continuing throughout this week we are uploading photos and videos from this year's Christmas concert, the first for our middle school. This page will link to all the content. Be sure to write the password whenever you're asked for it!
Next post Christmas concert photos – Part 4!


Mrs Smith comes in to see you as an extra. She says that Dr A, one of the partners, prescribed something for her yesterday, but the pharmacist has told her it will react dangerously with one of her other medicines, and that Dr A shouldn't have prescribed it at all.
How do I establish the facts?
What patients hear is not always what has been said or intended; many reported comments from other health professionals can sound outrageous, but when you unpick them, it is often easy to see how misunderstandings arise.
If Mrs Smith is angry or frightened, her choice of words may be rather dramatic. Empathising with her concerns, then asking exactly what was said may reveal that the pharmacist had simply raised a query and suggested rechecking the prescription before dispensing it. But you will need to ascertain whether there is in fact an interaction between the drug and her current medication. Quite often there is a theoretical or actual interaction which must be balanced against the potential benefit to the patient.
The pharmacist, who does not have all the relevant information, will not know why Dr A has decided to disregard the interaction, and Mrs Smith can be reassured that the prescription is correct. But if the interaction is potentially serious, you must take action.
Where can doctors get information on safe prescribing?
Have a copy of the BNF to hand at all times. A practice formulary can help; familiarising yourself with a limited number of drugs means you are less likely to fall foul of unexpected interactions and contraindications. Many GP computer systems have warnings that alert the prescriber to interactions, but although these are useful they can sometimes be alarmist, and do not absolve the prescriber from responsibility.
Computerised decision support such as Prodigy can be helpful, and can be accessed via the National Electronic Library for Health, together with other online resources, such as Bandolier.
Most practices have regular prescribing discussions; your local PCT and PBC group will also have prescribing advisers and/or a drug information service.
This improves patient safety, and many GPs have reason to be grateful to pharmacists who have spotted their prescribing mistakes. These range from inappropriate quantities, such as 28 steroid inhalers on one script, to major interactions such as erythromycin and statins.
Pharmacists can make certain amendments to GPs' prescriptions, adding the annotation 'prescriber contacted', but the script must often be returned for the GP to rewrite. As pharmacists become independent prescribers, it will be interesting to see what safeguards will be developed. Like us, pharmacists have a duty of care to their patients, and must treat colleagues in a professional manner.
What should you say to Mrs Smith?
Your choice of words could have major repercussions for Dr A or the pharmacist. We must not unjustly criticise or undermine colleagues, yet we have a duty to tell the truth. The best course of action may be to call a halt, and tell her that you will contact her after speaking to the doctor and/or pharmacist in question.
But if the situation is urgent, or the individual is not available, you may need to make a judgment on the spot about what to say and what to prescribe, remembering that the patient's interests are paramount.
How do we give negative feedback to or about colleagues?
Negative feedback is difficult to give and to receive but we all have to do it at times. As a general rule, it should be done in private, with sufficient time available, but this is not always possible. In difficult situations it may be worth having a third party present and/or keeping records. It would be wise to discuss the matter with your trainer first.
Telling someone straight out that they have made a mistake carries risk – you may be wrong, there may be extenuating circumstances, or facts that you are unaware of, and the person may react very negatively.
Asking to discuss a problem that has come up, followed by a simple statement of the facts as presented to you and a request for clarification, will, with luck, trigger a calm discussion and an appropriate outcome. This should include reinstatement of the original prescription or agreement on an alternative. Mrs Smith will need to be informed, and either reassured or directed to the practice complaints procedure if she is dissatisfied.
If it appears that it was in fact the pharmacist who had acted/spoken inappropriately, then you and/or Dr A will need to have a similar discussion with him, pointing out that he has undermined Mrs Smith's trust in the practice. If this is a significant or recurring problem, the practice may want to take advice from its defence society as to what action should be taken.
Most doctors are upset to discover that they have made a mistake and anxious to rectify it in person. Unfortunately this sometimes extends to morbid brooding and mental health problems for the doctor concerned, so it's important that negative feedback is seen as supportive rather than critical. Occasionally mistakes are a sign of underlying problems such as depression.
The incident may have wider implications and be worth treating as a significant event, leading to changes in the practice (and written up for QOF points and appraisal folders). Certain adverse incidents may need to be reported to the National Patient Safety Agency.

Kane feeling the strain after England's Euro heartache
Harry Kane admits he has struggled to cope with the mental and physical strain of returning to Tottenham duty in the aftermath of England's agonising Euro 2020 final defeat.
England were denied their first major trophy in 55 years when they lost to Italy on penalties after a 1-1 draw in the final of the competition at Wembley in July.
It was a heartbreaking loss for Kane, who had dreamed of becoming the first England captain to lift silverware since Bobby Moore at the 1966 World Cup.
Looking fatigued and lacking sharpness, Kane has scored just once in 10 Premier League appearances for Tottenham this season, in total managing only seven club goals in 16 games in all competitions.
The 28-year-old has fared better for England, netting three times in four matches, but he concedes the frustration of the Euro final has been hard to cast aside.
«It's always hard when you finish a major tournament. The last two tournaments we've got to a semi-final then a final, and it takes a lot out of you,» Kane said on Thursday.
«Losing a European final for your country at Wembley will probably stay with me the rest of my career. You never really get over those things, unless we go and win a major tournament.
«It's not just physically, it's mentally as well. Then before you know it you're back playing in the Premier League so I guess you never really have a chance to take it all in and learn from what happened.»
– City saga –
As well as contending with the fall-out from the Italy defeat, Kane also found himself embroiled in a transfer saga for the first time in his career.
The forward reportedly felt Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy broke a gentleman's agreement that he would be allowed to join Premier League champions Manchester City after the Euros.
With Levy refusing to accept City's reported £100 million ($133 million) bid, Kane returned late to pre-season training after an extended holiday before finally issuing a statement confirming he would stay at Tottenham «this summer».
Kane, who has three years left on his contract, has cut a subdued figure for Tottenham in a season in which they have already sacked manager Nuno Espirito Santo and replaced him with Antonio Conte.
But he denies there is any lingering angst from his failed attempt to join City.
«There was a lot of speculation over the summer — that's the first real time that's happened to me,» Kane said.
«But that's part and parcel of being a big player, having to deal with those situations, and I think I dealt with it well. Now it's about focusing.
«I think from my point of view it's easy for people to look for an excuse when you are not on form or scoring as many as usual.
«There's still a long way to go at club level and we've got these two games to finish off what's been a great calendar year for England.»

The popular Dickens walking tour of Lowell (first offered at the Dickens and America conference in 2002) and an interactive session at the Tsongas Industrial History Center were some of the featured offerings at the symposium. Evening events included participation in "Dickens and Steampunk" special events.
