The company is succeeding by being a responsible, innovative and sustainable business. As part of this, Jaguar Land Rover has a long history of supporting the British military and continues to demonstrate this by meeting commitments made through its Armed Forces Covenant. |
Jaguar Land Rover CEO, Dr Ralf Speth, recently summarised the company’s approach. When accepting the Ministry of Defence’s employer recognition scheme gold award for active support of the Armed Forces community he commented: |
“We at Jaguar Land Rover are immensely proud to have signed up to the Armed Forces Covenant and to be recognised through this award. |
“Service leavers are an excellent talent pool for Jaguar Land Rover and our supply chain, with skills that are transferable to an advanced manufacturing environment. We believe that there is a close alignment between our company’s own values and attitudes and the unstoppable persistence of Armed Forces veterans.” |
Dr Speth was joined at the award ceremony Matthew Malley, one of the 200 former service personnel hired by the automotive manufacturer since 2013. Matthew, who served in the First Battalion Welsh Guards for 10 years as an infantryman, explained what the company’s approach means for him: |
“I was wounded in action and subsequently medically discharged during my second operational tour in Afghanistan. I was then told my army career was over, which for me was my life. After a month-long specially-tailored work placement at Jaguar Land Rover, I got a job with their site services, where I fit right in. I couldn’t have hoped for a better outcome.” |
Similarly, Staff Sergeant Wayne Walker, formerly of the Queen’s Royal Lancers, joined the Solihull manufacturing team as a Process Leader following completion of the company’s inaugural programme. |
Wayne joined the training programme in December 2014 after being medically discharged from a 19 year military career, which saw him serve in operational tours of Bosnia, Kosovo, Afghanistan and Iraq. It was in Iraq that he sustained a serious knee injury following the detonation of a vehicle born Improvised Explosive Device. |
Speaking of this new chapter in his life, Wayne said: “I was put forward for this opportunity via The Armed Forces’ Motorsport Charity, Mission Motorsport, which supports those leaving the Forces. I wasn’t sure what would come out of it but I received incredible support throughout the programme from my family and everyone at Jaguar Land Rover. I was delighted that it led to a permanent position which means security for my family’s future and has been a great confidence boost. I hope this will inspire others also leaving the Forces.” |
Jaguar Land Rover’s support for service leavers |
The work placement programme, through which Matthew and Wayne found employment, is run by Jaguar Land Rover in conjunction with Mission Motorsport and the Ministry of Defence’s Career Transition Partnership (Assist) to help wounded, injured and sick former servicemen and women find a fulfilling second career. |
It is just one of the company’s initiatives to boost employment for those leaving the Armed Forces. These include a training scheme to tackle high unemployment among early service leavers, offering sector-based training, work experience and job interview training. |
The tailored programmes build on the company’s ongoing work with the Career Transition Partnership, through which Jaguar Land Rover employs veterans. Jaguar Land Rover goes even further, encouraging its supply chain to recruit service leavers and recommending candidates to its suppliers. The company also assists its reservists with paid leave for training and encourages an ex-Forces society, which this year coordinated Armed Forces Day and Reserves Day celebrations. |
Raising awareness and developing understanding |
Jaguar Land Rover was proud to be the presenting partner in 2014 for the inaugural Invictus Games, the international sporting event for wounded, injured and sick servicemen and women. The company has pledged to support the games in this way again in 2016, as well as sponsor the UK team, to help develop understanding and respect amongst the public for those who serve their country. To be held in Florida from 8th to 12th May, the second Invictus Games will bring together more than 500 competitors from 15 nations and harness the power of sport to inspire recovery and support rehabilitation of wounded, injured and sick service personnel. |
Jaguar Land Rover’s backing for service charities includes Mission Motorsport, Help For Heroes, Rally for Heroes, ABF The Soldiers’ Charity and individual regimental associations. In October, the company sponsored the Walking With the Wounded Walk of Britain to raise awareness and retraining of wounded veterans leaving the Armed Forces. This 1,000 mile walk included a stage from Jaguar Land Rover’s Design and Engineering Centre at Whitley, Coventry to its manufacturing facility in Solihull. |
Working at Jaguar Land Rover |
Jaguars, Range Rovers and Land Rovers are admired and desired across the world for luxurious design and outstanding engineering. Driving them is an incredible experience; being the ideas and expertise behind their creation is even more exhilarating. |
Great people and great vehicles are the essence of this great British company, which has recently been rated by Bloomberg as the best UK employer for 2016. Jaguar Land Rover’s size, growth and culture mean that there are extensive development opportunities. Indeed, over the past five years the company has doubled sales, more than doubled employment and tripled its turnover. |
Jaguar Land Rover is investing significantly in its future by creating very special vehicles for its customers and, just as importantly, by employing and developing the people that will help ensure its continued success. |
Lifelong learning: the Jaguar Land Rover Academy |
The company is committed to investing in skills and in 2015 launched its Academy, the first of its kind in the UK automotive sector. The new Academy offers all Jaguar Land Rover workers the opportunity to take part in continuous development programmes to enhance their careers and provide the skills the company needs. |
First of its kind in the UK automotive sector, Jaguar Land Rover Academy will deliver a world class, highly skilled workforce |
£100 million invested in technical and business skills last year, including supply chain skill development |
“Lifelong Learning” career development programmes to be offered to the company’s entire global workforce of almost 38,000, from recruitment to retirement |
Run in partnership with WMG at the University of Warwick and other leading universities |
Last year 8,900 employees undertook academic and vocational qualifications ranging from NVQ2s to PhDs. |

Originally Published: July 22, 2020 1:22 p.m. |
PHOENIX (AP) — Arizona's school districts should be empowered to reopen campuses for the new school year based on public health data instead of committing now to specific reopening dates, the state's top education official said Tuesday. |
Superintendent of Public Instruction Kathy Hoffman said she outlined her priorities to Gov. Doug Ducey, who is expected to announce the next steps for school reopenings this week. |
Ducey, a Republican, previously delayed the start of the school year until Aug. 17, weeks after most Arizona schools reopen after the summer break. |
Hoffman, a Democrat, outlined several metrics she said would be helpful for school officials to use in deciding when to welcome children back on campus. They included a downward trajectory in new confirmed COVID-19 cases, a decrease in the rate of positive test results and the widespread availability of testing with timely results. |
Schools also need a guarantee of full funding for distance learning, Hoffman said. |
"However, we cannot ask schools to make decisions that will impact the teachers' and students' health and safety without first providing them with the necessary public health data and funding to make safe decisions," Hoffman said in a statement on Twitter. |
Ducey and his top health official, Dr. Cara Christ, said last week that they would prefer for their own children to return to school on campus. |
Arizona officials on Wednesday reported an additional 1,926 confirmed cases of COVID-19 and 56 more deaths. The number of new confirmed cases was down significantly from the previous day's count of 3,500. Meanwhile, the number of in-patient hospitalizations, intensive care unit beds in use and ventilators being used remained steady. |
Arizona has confirmed 150,609 COVID-19 infection cases overall with 2,974 deaths in the state. The number of infections in Arizona and elsewhere is thought to be much higher because many people have not been tested and studies suggest people can be infected with the virus without feeling sick.<eot>Clear Water Iron - Home Brew Forums |
> Clear Water Iron |
i had a water analysis done and was told that i have: |
1.5 ppm iron |
21 calcium mgne |
i know that the iron is a major problem. what is the best way to eliminate that? this is well water and i have had no major issue brewing with it as it is, but i would like to elimate the iron. (it falls out during fermentation) it does not impact taste, but i still want it gone. |
this is the stuff that turns your sinks red and if you pour a class of water it looks clear, but give it a few hours and you will see the iron oxidize and turn the water to a reddish color. i guess i could just make Red Ales __________________ |
Well, depending on how bad you want it gone, you let it oxidise and migrate out then filter with filter paper. The only other ways of removing the iron that I can think of involve adding a fair few chemicals to the water which would most likely have a large impact on the quality of your brew. |
I think you're looking at a greensand filter and then RO from there. |
Bubble with aquarium air stone for a day or two, let settle, rack, filter. I made a sand filter to remove the iron oxide particulates. |
If you want it removed from your total house supply as continuous flow, you're probably looking at a softener (ion exchange) and then RO to get rid of the sodium from drinking/brewing water. Otherwise, treat as above and filter.<eot>- Tim O'Reilly, O'Reilly Media |

Our most common open formats are shapefile and geojson, though the format may vary depending on the data. |
All maps begin with a lie, and that lie is that the Earth is flat. A map projection is a systematic transformation of the latitudes and longitudes of locations on the surface of a sphere or an ellipsoid into locations on a flat plane (i.e. a paper map or computer screen). All map projections distort the surface in some fashion, and different map projections exist in order to preserve some properties of the sphere-like body at the expense of other properties. |
Unless otherwise specified, shapefiles are in NC State Plane NAD83 Feet (EPSG:2264), and geojson files are in WGS 84 (EPSG:4326). Further information can be found by viewing the metadata for the data. |
There are any number of tools and software libraries for viewing or manipulating our data. Here are some open source recommendations to get you started: |
QGIS for a desktop GIS platform. |
Leaflet for creating interactive web applications. |
Software changes rapidly, and as a result our open source applications can be quite different depending on when they were released. Each software repository will contain information on building and deploying that particular app. |
Mecklenburg County GIS is a big believer in open source software. Some of the open source software we use and build software with includes: |

November 11, 2014 by jamie |
I know, I know, I'm late to the jumpsuit bandwagon! Thus is my fate with most timely fashion choices...I was the one who didn't start crimping my hair until like 9th grade... |
It was Marisa who first opened my eyes to the world of jumpsuits - she got one and looked so darn cute, it gave me the courage to try one on when it appeared in the window of a boutique near me. I'll tell you this, now that I've suited up, I'm not going back! It feels like wearing your PJs! In public! And I love how simple and polished they look - and that they can be dressed up or down, depending on if you pair them with boots or heels, a jean jacket or jewels. It makes them a good choice for the upcoming season of holiday parties: you can transition one from day to night, fit it into a variety of crowds, and wear it multiple times without being too obvious. It's a modern, comfy take on the little black dress. |
Whether you've been hip to the jumpsuit scene for a while now, or are just dipping your toes in the trend, here are a few (affordable) options for black jumpsuits to jump start your holiday fashion shopping: |
ASOS Shoulder Frill Jumpsuit (this one's my favorite!) / Anthropologie Dacey Jumpsuit (love the tribal print option) / Donna Morgan Kimono Sleeve Jumpsuit (a zip front lets you choose how low your neckline is) / H&M Jumpsuit (a steal at $39) / Ella Moss Icon Jumpsuit (on sale, so there are only a couple sizes left)<eot>Today’s interns are tomorrow’s business leaders. As you make your way up the hierarchy, you establish your expertise, develop finesse and carve a niche for yourself in your chosen company. You may be an investment banker or possess an ACCA qualification, but you still need to be equipped to handle any challenge that comes your way. Trust us, there will always be a fresh new event that will alter the corporate landscape. After information technology made a breakthrough in the 1990s, the corporate world turned on its head. The pandemic in 2019 once again drastically changed the way we conduct business. Safe to say, there will be a few more similar surprises down the road. |
So, if you are entering the job market today, in a decade or so, you will have gained enough experience to climb your way to upper management. However, the same can be said about your peers. You may be very good at your job. It’s not enough, though. You need to excel in other skills as well. You have to show a higher range of capabilities. Recruiters, CEOs and company heads are looking for professionals who can adapt to a constantly changing work environment. You have to prove to them that you are worthy of that promotion. You must show you have what it takes to get the job, lead a department or run a company. |
The right set of abilities will help you evolve and transform according to the changing corporate climate. It will prepare you for any event heading your way. So what are these special skills you need? So glad you asked. |
