Vertical-Rib Turtleneck 44 44
BOXY! I ordered this in 2 sizes because so often the things I order from Garnet Hill are really boxy and shapeless with no definition at the waist. On the model this didn't look that way and the description didn't lead me to believe it was, but even in a size too small for me the body of this sweater is humungous. They must have it pinned in the back on the model. Very misleading. October 16, 2014
on the fence with this one This is a beautiful sweater, but it is HUGE. I like my sweaters big but this one (I ordered M) is enormous. I think I will keep it and try to make it work b/c it really is well-made and I got it on sale. Will be good outer layer in cold weather if I don't want a coat. October 15, 2014
Horrible fit This sweater looks great on the model but it did not look that way on me. The arms were very tight and the rest of it was enormous on me, like a balloon. I'm 5'5'', 130 lbs with an average build. I ordered a small and the fit was way off. I read the reviews and I should have paid attention to what other customers said about this sweater. If you have pencil arms and a thick torso this sweater will fit you. Now I have to pay shipping to send it back. But, I do love the glacier color. October 6, 2014
uggg Just weird - I sized down one size at least and it was still way too long and wide to look good. The fabric was too thick to flow yet too thin to skim over my lumpy parts, and the sleeves - well, the other reviewers were right about the sleeves. October 1, 2014
Very strange cut Nice quality of sweater but... as noted by other reviewers the sleeves are exceptionally skinny (I do not have large arms) and the body is very wide - kind of poofy even. The resulting look is marshmallow with toothpick arms. Definitely going back. September 7, 2014
Super size! This is a nice sweater, but it just runs so large that it really needs to be worn by someone tall, with leggings and long (as shown). Nice fabric and colors, but definitely size down, a lot. February 14, 2014

Stop hating the color of your skin
No need to be ashamed of your origin,
Don't compare your size to someone else
You'll be surprised that they are also insecure about their self,
Don't beat yourself up over the freckles on your face
Those are blessings you should never try to erase,
I hate it when you sit there wishing you had different colored eyes Those brown eyes shine bright so don't believe society's lies.

Research Legal Advice > Child Custody in a Divorce > Family laws, notices, child support, child cust...
My wages garnished, never served anything about courts or hearings notifying these things. I filled out support orders in the beginning but all hell broke loose an lost everything. Now I'm paying support, never given chance to talk to judge. Case worker state there is never support papers with me requesting help only the mother. Employer didn't notify me about garnishment until seen my checks. Now to the point im denied any contact to child. What are my options, why did i never get a chance to tell my side of all this. Weres my support papers i field which note my child mothers mom helped fill out all the paperwork.
You need to speak with a family law attorney immediately as there are significant legal and economic rights at stake here. Without more facts it is difficult to provide specific answers, but it is clear that you are in a tough position and seeking a consultation with an attorney is the first step to outlining and evaluating your options.
I agree with the above answer, but want to add that your issue is two-fold.
First, you need to see if you have grounds to ask the Court to review or set-aside the previous order (one of the grounds could be you were never served, if that can be proved). If you do not have any grounds, you need to file a Modification to use actual visit time and current wages.
Second, you need to file a Request for Order in order to establish a visiting schedule with the child. It will most likely be a really long and hard battle to make headway on the visitation portion of your case, but if it is what you want, then do something about it.
It seems like you will definitely need the help of an attorney, at least to get you started on the support issue. Good luck!
You need to hire an attorney, it appears you are in dependency court and have no idea what you are doing or how to protect yourself. You need someone who can fight for your rights.

A system and related techniques prepare and condition the installation of new networked service or application components, such as Internet services, based on an individual subscriber's subscribed-to services, features and other components. A subscriber to an Internet service may choose to add, for example, a componentized subscription to a music or video download service to their access plan. When the user inserts a CDROM or accesses a Web site for installation, the user may be prompted for a username or passport-type object to authenticate their account. The user may then be presented with a set of available service selections, extensions or enhancements to choose to add to their plan. Those available selections may be prefiltered or prequalified, for example, based on geographic location, account spending or access limits, language or other criteria. Because the installation engine delivers components which are intelligently filtered at time of installation, the service components or applications can be tailored to that specific user's needs and options, instead of downloading or installing a monolithic package which may contain services not available or of interest to that user.
1. A system for generating a service installation, comprising:
an input interface to receive a service installation request;
an interface to a subscription database, the subscription database comprising subscriber status information; and
an installation engine, the installation engine communicating with the input interface and the interface to the subscription database, the installation engine receiving the service installation request and generating a service installation based on the installation request and the subscriber status information.

The invention relates to the field of networked computer services, and more particularly to a platform which automatically detects and presents networked service options and components, for instance Internet access and media installation options, based on individual subscribers' subscribed services and related status.
Internet services are commonly advertised and provisioned using distributed CD-ROM bundles or Web site downloads. To ensure uniformity and economize bulk delivery costs, those media or downloads, however, are typically not tailored to the needs or access privileges of individual users. Rather, the Web browser, media player or other applications, services or components may instead be installed in a single, uninterruptible, fixed installation script which installs a monolithic package of components to the user's computer or other client.
When a user installs a client, service, media engine or other component from such prepackaged media or downloads, therefore, the classes, types and defaults in the service components delivered to that user may be undesired and extraneous to that person's usage needs. For example, language options may be installed which are not generally used in the user's geographic location, or media options which are not compatible with the user's access mode, such as dial-up, may be installed. This lack of selectability in the installation process may load the user's storage with unnecessary, and occasionally incompatible, features. Likewise a user who attempts to remove unnecessary components may cause unintended bugs or interruptions to the services they do actually want.
Moreover, when network services are installed using conventional techniques, the individual user's existing or desired access rights may be totally ignored. Many users may for instance choose to update or upgrade a browser, media client or associated Web services such as email, Web hosting, music downloads or others on an existing Internet service or other account. One-size-fits all installations routines as currently practiced do not in any way reference a user's existing subscription profile to pare down and isolate only those service components for that user's current service list. Nor do known installers attempt to differentiate desired from undesired services and thereby install only necessary supporting components when a new user initiates entirely new service. Other problems and inefficiencies in the provisioning and installation of network services exist.
The invention overcoming these and other problems in the art relates in one regard to a system and method for automatically generating a network service installation based on a user's subscription status, in which an installation engine may initiate service provisioning and installation from CD-ROM, Internet downloads or other channels or media. In embodiments, the installation engine will access the user's subscription status from a subscription database or other data store to separate the subset of components, services, applications or other features or functions from all possible installation components which the user desires or is entitled to install. Those components may include, for example, email or Web hosting service, anti-spam or anti-virus services or utilities, media services or portals, or other channels, services or components, all tailored and installed according to the user's new or existing subscription profile. Because unnecessary components, code, data and other resources are filtered out before installation to the user's client or other machine, a more streamlined, more bug-free and user-friendly service initiation process may be enjoyed.
The service components which the user may choose to install or initiate on client 102 or associated account may include a range of network access features, services and media. The service components may include, for example, one or more email accounts, or a Web site hosting service, for instance with a certain amount of storage (e.g. 10 MB or other) for new or existing accounts. The service components may likewise include utilities and tools, such as anti-spam filters for email or other communications channels, anti-virus tools for client 102 or other machines, or the provisioning of Internet access itself, via network 106 or otherwise. The service components managed according to embodiments of the invention may likewise encompass media and other services, such as digital photo or other file sharing, music download service, video download service or other media delivery services. The service components may likewise include Web or other services such as financial, medical, educational or other portals, or other personal or business resources. In embodiments, the selection and installation of eligible services may include the installation of corresponding application components, interfaces or resources, such as Web browsers, media players including audio or video codecs, email clients, or other components or services.
According to embodiments as shown in
When the installation engine 120 is notified that a new installation event has begun, the installation engine may prompt the user for user ID, login or other account or identification information. For instance, an existing user desiring to update or upgrade services may enter their existing user name or account name, while a new user may enter a new user or account name to be activated. Installation engine 120 may authenticate the user's entered account and other information as appropriate, for instance by performing a lookup of that information against subscription database 110. This authorization process may in one regard be performed before components, code or other data may be installed onto client 102 or activated in an associated account, thereby again avoiding unnecessary or inappropriate delivery of undesired components.
After the initiating user has been authenticated, the installation engine 120 may access the subscription database 110 to reference an available component list 112, to begin to isolate eligible components for that user. Available component list 112 may include or interface to, for example, a list or set of service components which are available to the user based on their geographic location, market or co-branding preferences, language requirements or other governing criteria or factors. For instance, the available component list 112 may indicate that for User X updating their service components in, for illustration South America, certain services such as Internet telephony may be available, or that eligible components must include services delivered in Spanish, Portuguese, English or other languages. In embodiments, marketing terms or conditions, such as the user's agreement to use their telephone company's affiliated cellular telephone or network-enabled data service, may narrow the set of services in and presented by the available component list 112. Likewise in cases a user's age or other criteria may affect or filter the services stored to or accessed from available component list 112.
The installation engine 120 may likewise access the subscribed services list 114 for the initiating user, which data may also be stored in subscription database 110. The subscribed services list 114 may contain a list, table or other data structure recording the services and components which a user may currently subscribe to, or which are awaiting activation or are currently in other status. Thus for a given user, the subscribed services list 114 may contain selections or components such as email, Web hosting, music downloads, Internet banking or email payment service, or other services or components.
Those services or components may in embodiments be or include some services or components whose subscription is free of charge, and others which involve a monthly or other subscription fee. For example some services, such as on-demand music download, may incur a per-track download charge. Some services in subscribed services list 114 may be dependent on subscription to other services, such as anti-spam tools which may depend on email service. Other subscription arrangements, charges and combinations are possible. The installation engine 120 may in embodiments compare the components in the available component list 112 for the initiating user against the subscribed services list 114, to generate a set of eligible components based on the matching components from that data.
According to embodiments illustrated in
Upon initiation of a service installation and the isolation of eligible components via the subscription database 110, as illustrated in
The components to be installed may in embodiments be retrieved or delivered from media 104, from the component store 128, from both media 104 and component store 128, or via other channels or resources. In embodiments, components transmitted from installation server 108 may be communicated through application or service-aware protocols, for example ActiveX�, Java�, XML (eXtensible Markup Language) or other code, data or resources. The installation engine 120 may communicate with installation server 108 to update the user's subscribed services list 114, to reflect those newly chosen or installed components or services for that user's account or profile. In embodiments, the user may likewise remove or unsubscribe from given components, when desired.
According to the logical architecture as shown, the set of eligible services and other data may be communicated to the installation server 108, which in embodiments and as illustrated in
Overall installation processing according to embodiments of the invention is illustrated in further regard in
In step 410, an available component list 112 for the user may be retrieved, for example from subscription database 110. The available component list 112 may be filtered or conditioned based on subscriber status information for that user, such as geographic location, language, market or co-branding limitations or preferences, age restrictions (for example, in a multiuser family account), or other factors. In step 412, service component permits for the user may be acquired, for instance by accessing the user's subscribed services list 114 or otherwise. In step 414, the permits or authorizations for various service components for that user may be compared against the available component 112 to identify and extract those services that are desired, permitted and available to the user. In step 416, setup options based on those filtered services may be displayed to the user. For example, the user may be asked to select a degree of anti-spam protection, for instance low, medium or high. Other services and selections may be presented.
In step 418, the user's selections or other inputs may be received in installation engine 120 or other installation logic. In step 420, the generated set of final component services may be installed in client 102 or other client or device. In step 422, any post-installation setup or confirmation may be launched, for example to display a welcome screen to the user inviting them to log in to one or more service. In step 424, processing may repeat, return to a prior processing point, jump to a further processing point or end.
The foregoing description of the invention is illustrative, and modifications in configuration and implementation will occur to persons skilled in the art. For instance, while the invention has generally been described in terms of subscriber status data stored and accessed from a single subscription database 110, in embodiments data regarding one or more users may be shared or distributed across multiple databases or data hosts. In embodiments all or part of that data may be stored in client 102, itself.
Further, while the invention has generally been described in embodiments wherein the installation engine 120 may be hosted in client 120, in embodiments the installation engine 120 or similar logic may be hosted or may execute in other local or remote resources, including the installation server 108. Similarly, while the invention has in embodiments been generally described as involving subscriptions covering individual users, in embodiments the subscriptions to services and corresponding installation management may be for groups of users or organizations. Other hardware, software or other resources described as singular may in embodiments be distributed or shared, and similarly in embodiments resources described as distributed may be combined. The scope of the invention is accordingly intended to be limited only by the following claims.

Heavy-haul equipment has always fascinated me, ever since I was a little boy watching "steam shovels" dig basements in our then-expanding neighborhood in post-World War II Milwaukee.
The shovels (which were actually gasoline- and maybe diesel-powered) were carried to job sites on low-slung pull trailers. The trailers were pulled by dump trucks which, after parking the trailers on the street, also carried away some of the dirt from the new holes.

A general scaling law connecting the stiffness and dissipative properties of a linear mechanical oscillator immersed in a viscous fluid is derived. This enables the noninvasive experimental determination of the stiffness of small elastic bodies of arbitrary shape by measuring their resonant frequency and quality factor in fluid (typically air). In so doing, we elucidate the physical basis of the method of Sader etal [Rev. Sci. Instrum. 70, 3967 (1999)] for determining the stiffness of rectangular atomic force microscope cantilevers, and discuss its applicability. The validity of the derived general technique is demonstrated by calibrating atomic force microscope cantilevers with complex geometries, and its implications to small bodies in general are discussed.

Golden-Agri issues RM1.5bil Islamic bond in Malaysia
KUALA LUMPUR: Singapore-listed Golden Agri-Resources Ltd, the world's second largest palm oil plantation company, has issued its first Islamic bond, or sukuk, in Malaysia worth 1.5 billion ringgit ($488 million).
"The company considers Malaysia the ideal location for the issue given the country's well-established and advanced sukuk market, which is abundant with liquidity, coupled with its familiarity with the palm oil industry," Golden Agri said in a statement to the Singapore stock exchange on Monday.
The Islamic medium-term notes, part of a 5 billion ringgit program established earlier this month, will have a tenor of five years and mature in Nov 2017. The notes were priced at 4.35 percent.
Golden Agri said proceeds would go towards general corporate purposes, while the issuance would boost financial flexibility by readying the company for future growth.
Golden Agri, which has yet to achieve its internal target for hectarage expansion this year, may use some of the funds raised to buy new land, a company director told Reuters on Nov. 9 (Full Story:nL3E8M83DW).
Shares in Golden Agri added 1.7 percent to S$0.61 as of 0124 GMT. ($1 = 3.0715 Malaysian ringgits) - Reuters

Our olive oil comes from Tunisia and has a wonderfully rich and full flavor. It is light green in color and is produced from olives picked the day of production.
Fruit from the olive tree (Olea europaea L.) is hand picked and sorted at the farm and taken to the mill on the same day. At the mill, the whole, slightly under-ripened fruit is crushed into a paste, then pressed to extract the oil. This first cold press olive oil requires no temperature change. The olive oil is pumped into a separator to remove water and small solids from the oil. The oil is tested to determine its quality and classification, then packaged.
Label declaration:
Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
Shelf life:
2 years.
420 pound drums or 2019 pound totes. Minimum order quantity is one drum so 420 pounds.

Slash tuition fees for STEM students, biz boss body begs UK.gov
The Confederation of British Industry (CBI) is demanding that the government take action on the skills shortage in tech and engineering, proposing lower tuition fees for courses and new training for existing workers. The CBI said that a survey it conducted with survey haus Pearson last year showed that 42 per cent of companies …
All bullshit
There is no skills shortage: there is a skills shortage *at low wages*. What companies want is to pay a top-class STEM graduate £16k/year, and until we have enough STEM graduates for that to be the wage they will moan about skills shortages. A skills shortage is where there aren't enough skilled employees to fill the vacancies at any wage. If you cannot fill your vacancies at a low wage, it isn't a skills shortage, it's that you are paying shit wages.
Re: All bullshit
While I agree with the main thrust of your argument, it isn't that simple. Of course, the CBI wants to be able to employ Elbonians at a pittance to do the job and will argue with the skills shortage in order to get this. Wonder what solution UKIP will come up with?
Nevertheless, it is also true that labour markets are not entirely elastic: you can't just move people around with higher/lower wages (families, assets, etc. add inertia) or train them to do XYZ. If there is an aggregate demand that exceeds easily available resources then raising the price will not help much. The net result might be to force companies in the sector out of business - this might be because they are uncompetitive (for various reasons) in the area - not wanting to get into a debate about that simply to highlight that it's not always that straightforward.
Business is perfectly right to lobby for its interest but also able to dust off some of the old style cooperations with colleges that used to work well and still appears* to work reasonably well in places like Germany.
* apprenticeships routinely go in and out of fashion depending upon other macroeconomic factors. 10 years ago school leavers couldn't get an apprenticeship for love nor money, now even though competition at university is higher than it used to be, companies can't find enough apprentices. In 1990s it became fashionable to farm off older employers for early retirement…
But conversely, with my utilitarian hat on
Surely it's better to have a load of STEM graduates at 16k a year, than a load of <insert personal bete-noire qualification>?
Surely the current issue is that if any degree is going to land you in £27k+ of debt and whatever job you may get at the end of it is going to be £16k a year, then you're just going to pick something fun.
If there's every any hope of this f'in mess being sorted out, then at least having a work-base with some tangible skills is more beneficial.
Economic signalling
I suppose attracting more students by paying more was also part of the discussion ... no?
Re: Economic signalling
Of course not. Since any STEM student who was motivated by the thought of earning more than 16K would be working in banking anyway. By keeping wages low they attract only the truly dedicated !
Too bloody right!!
Tuition fees should be based on their value to the economy and to society.. i.e. if Engineers are in high demand, engineering degrees should be lower cost and/or subsidised. Those that elect to study far less useful subjects like "David Beckham Studies" should be charged more to pay for those subsidies. Agreed this might not cover all the costs, but the gains in productivity and ultimately tax revenue for having more STEM workers available would easily outweigh the additional costs.
I keep seeing articles about Uni-grads working in jobs that have no relation to their degree.. what's the point of that? OK, i can understand that some industries can be difficult to get into, but if a significant proportion of students never get into their subjects then they have wasted their time and money as well as the taxpayers.
Re: Too bloody right!!
>what's the point of that
The point is to abolish youth unemployment by taking all 18-21 year olds off the market and having them pay 10k/year for the privilege. Even YTS paid you
erm it's simpler than that.
Just make tuition debt tax deductible.
And double the fees for anything ...
with media, politics, communication, social, marketing or environment in the title.
Triple for everything under the Arts and Humanities umbrella.
Re: And double the fees for anything ...
So where does that put the environmental scientist daughter of a friend of ours who does research into improved methods of ensuring water quality (paid for by a water company)? And why, given the size of our business with mainland Europe, do you want to discriminate against languages graduates? And why do you want to make it harder for software companies to employ psychology graduates to fix the user-unfriendly interfaces engineers come up with (I am a retired software engineer, my user interfaces sucked, I needed someone to tell me how to fix them.)
It is not as easy as you think to identify "useful" degrees.
Re: And double the fees for anything ...
It is not as easy as you think to identify "useful" degrees
Proved by the fact that many people always pick "media degrees" as useless without looking at either how much those graduates can earn (useful to student); how big the UK media sector is (useful to UK) or how hard it is to offshore that kind of work (UK media graduates therefore useful to UK Business).
CBI: You're wasting your breath
As somebody old enough to have benefited from having all tuition fees paid, and a student grant, all at a time when GDP was far lower, it pains me to say it, but the CBI are barking up the wrong tree. Successive governments have buggered up the lower and higher education system, such that it is now always very expensive, half of it is crap, and too little is focused on what employers (including the public sector) need. There is no political understanding, no will, no vision to change this situation.
If the CBI want a solution, they need to devise it themselves, and "government should do it" is not a solution, looking at the track record. And part of that solution could involve closing the classics, economics and politics departments at Oxford and Cambridge - too many of their alumnii have contributed directly to this mess.
When I finished my STEM there were no jobs
Or rather there were no companies willing to pay a decent wage for a recent graduate, so I left the country.
The real problem is the complete lack of respect for scientists and engineers from politicians and society at large.
In other societies the title Engineer commands respect. Not in the UK.
Re: When I finished my STEM there were no jobs
As Ledswinger said, the quality of STEM education seems to have been declining in the UK. In Electronics Engineering, new graduates are often pretty useless when it comes to design work. But the degree at least gives them the basics, so after a couple of years of mentoring and practise they can become useful members of the team. I suspect that's part of the reason graduate wages aren't great.
The other part of it is that too many people can call themselves engineers these days, so yes the respect for engineers has declined. However its definitely possible to get decent wages, particularly in fields that are more difficult and in demand. RF Engineering and DSP are a couple of good examples.
I think the final part of the problem is Engineers themselves.. we're next to useless at negotiation compared to other parts of the company (e.g. sales, marketing etc), so on average our wages are lower, despite the fact engineers can make or break a company just as easily. If you believe the psychiatric studies its probably because most of us are Autistic to varying degrees! in fact if you believe an old 'el reg article, we're cold and dead inside, with no empathy for others.. sounds like most engineers that I know :-)
There's never enough...
youngsters with about three years full-time experience behind them, so they've actually learnt enough to be useful, but they're still young enough to be cheap and unencumbered by things like children that need picking up from nursery / school, spouses that expect them to be home at a reasonable time, etc.
Maybe the industry could stop treating everybody over the age of 35 as over the hill or only to be considered for management roles (which, of course, you can only get if you have management experience).
I know an engineer who decided to retrain as a lawyer - one of the reasons was this one. In law, age and experience are actually seen as valuable!
Experience levels
Experience is often misunderstood, particularly by the people who think programming is a young person's game.
In the early 1980s, when went to university and entered the industry, the amount of experience needed to be a valuable contributor was pretty low.
At the time, many of the programmers - especially COBOL programmers - had a 3 month training course before they entered industry. Many organisations took their brighter filing clerks, sent them to training for 3 months, and now had a staff of programmers.
Our university courses managed to cover a large % of the known universe of computing. It was a big step up from the 3-month programmer. A graduate was a pretty valuable and useful thing.
These days this no longer holds true. Each field in computing has got vastly more complex and you need years of experience to be really productive.. All a degree says is that you seem to have the capability to hold your head above water and might turn into something useful in a while.
This should skew the industry towards older workers. Not all of them though. Our industry is one of constant change and people need to constantly update and refresh their skills. If I look back at the stuff I learned at university, none of it is really relevant now. I've kept up reading/experimenting at an average rate of approx 5-10 hours per week. If you're one of those people who thinks you can just sit back now you have a degree then you don't belong in this industry.
Unfortunately there are enough of the old slackers to build the "can't teach an old dog new tricks" myth whereby you need to refresh the staff to get a handle on new tech.
Companies that operate like that do themselves a disservice by removing the experience and guidance that is needed to train up entry level staff. They also shed staff that are just entering their prime.
I think there are several reasons for the perceived lack of STEM students.
Firstly, the death of the old Polytechnic. The old Polys used to do more practical based courses, rather than the more theoretical courses the Unis did. Now, the old Polys hit the headlines for what many people feel are their worthless vanity degree courses.
Secondly, industry needs to work with Unis to provide more placement courses. Friends at Uni who did sandwich/placement courses had no problems getting jobs afterwards - sometimes on a good wage too!
Finally, industry needs to make the effort to train people. Education doesn't stop when you leave school/college/uni. It's a life long process, and expecting people to walk out of Uni/College/etc with all the skills they'll ever need is insane.
Ultimately, it has to be a joint effort between industry and education.
Surely if anything the universities crank out more worthless vanity degrees. BA in history for instance.
Polytechs certainly are less pompous organisations that seem to focus far more on the education.
Cognitive dissonance - again
second time in two days I have experienced this.
Not enough engineers coming into the market = famine.
Famine = prices (wages rise)
Wages rise = incentive for more people to study engineering
More people studying engineering = course can charge more for engineering.
Open source or closed source funding?
The Confederation of British Industry (CBI) is demanding that the government take action on the skills shortage in tech and engineering, proposing lower tuition fees for courses and new training for existing workers.
Yes, we can fund training from government spending, if you like, boys. (And I bet they are boys.) But in that case, you and your corporations will have to pay higher taxes. Deal?
Re: Open source or closed source funding?
They could start by paying their taxes in the first place.
Lower tutition fees please
I thought I'd take up with the open university to brush up some of my skills maybe grab some more points towards another qualification.
The last course I signed up for 10 yrs ago was about £550 for a 60 point course(1 yrs worth of part time study), so I browsed through the website looking for a suitable computer/techie/engie course... found a decent 60 pointer... then thought "whats the price?" thinking it would be in the region of 1200-1500 quid
FIVE thousand quid!!!!!!!!!!
Oh well ... best i remain just a plane ol' unedukated injerneer.
PS if the CBI was serious about lack of skills, why do most of they members play "Poach the decent staff" with each other instead of training up new ones?
Academia != education
You're falling in the trap of thinking that education only comes through universities. That's nuts.
Universities are primarily academic institutions. That some education might happen there is almost accidental - particularly in post graduate work. The web provides so many accessible ways to learn stuff that don't involve university.
30 years ago, attending university made sense. They have libraries with all the literature, they had a computer and they had smart people. Now access to those resources has changed: the literature is online, you have a computer and the smart people are online too. What does the university really provide?
A couple of months back I decided to learn a lot more than I knew about FPGAs. Instead of taking the digital design course at the university (of which at least 50% was a bunch of number theory I was not interested in), I bought an FPGA board (sub $100) and hit the vendor's online training. Total cost: sub $100, and I got to do it when I wanted, so no loss of earnings.
Re: Lower tutition fees please
PS if the CBI was serious about lack of skills, why do most of they members play "Poach the decent staff" with each other instead of training up new ones?
Short-termism and stupidity.
The liberal arts people will game this
Just rename everything to "science". We already have political science, social science, ...
How long before history gets rebranded as "past science"?
Re: The liberal arts people will game this
"How long before history gets rebranded as "past science"?"
I believe that should be "temporal science" :-)
same thing in Engineering.. "sanitation engineer", "meat distribution engineer" to name a couple..
Re: The liberal arts people will game this
Already been done - when the govt announced it wanted more STEM graduates to go into teaching, and offered bursaries, the number went up 500% overnight.
Of course most of them were domestic-scientists and sport-scientists
me too
agree with the above, this is just the usual bollocks from the
tories CBI, pay decent wages and provide decent conditions.
or employers could train people themselves if everyone else is so useless at it?
Engineering Institutes provide the recognition
Most "STEM" graduates are viewed from a business sense as potentially good material that needs several years of real-world application before they become recognised as a valuable engineering resource that can command good pay and conditions.
No-one has yet mentioned the role of the engineering institutions that provide the backbone for the recognition of chartered engineers as those who have the necessary academic qualifications plus a period of recognized engineering achievement(s). They have the post nominals C.Eng etc., which can, for many, command good pay.
A new way
If you seriously believe most of what's being said in the comments, the solution is for Companies to bypass the Universities AND the Government:
For example, a group of companies get together to set up their own Training Center. (Can't call it a University because then the government can regulate what must be taught, etc.) Students may apply to a company and, if accepted, will be sent to the Training Center tuition free. In return for that, the student must sign a contract to work at the company for some minimum length of time after they "graduate." If they are not good enough to graduate, they are dismissed with no job and no debt. During the training, part of their work may be as interns at the sponsoring company to get practical experience. If they do a poor job as interns, they are dismissed with no job and no debt. To avoid people gaming the system, part of the contract is a non-compete clause so the students can't take a free education and use it to work for a competing company. The classes at the training center may be taught by existing workers from the "owning" companies, not professors with tenure and the simple goal of publishing papers.
This solves the problems listed above such as: Universities spend too much time teaching things not relevant to the job. Graduates have no experience so are not usable right out of school. Graduates don't earn enough to pay off loans, Companies can't get enough new employees. Tuition costs too much. Professors earn too much. This takes the place of an Apprenticeship.
The only downside is the "graduate" does not have an actual diploma. However, I think most other tech workers will agree that, if you know enough to do a good job, the degree is not relevant.
Re: A new way
Isn't this called an apprenticeship ?
Re: A new way, won't make the hay
1. Businesses don't want to pay for training.
2. You make it sound as if a STEM graduate can be taught in a few months. It takes 2 years of A levels followed by 3 years as an undergraduate.
3. Business doesn't think 5 years ahead. They want someone now, whom they'd like to sack in 18 months.
4. Graduates want degrees. A degree allows one job mobility and some negotiating rights.
Re: A new way
"Professors earn too much."
Rubbish. The average lecturer in the UK earns about £45k/year. This is after eight years of university education, a postdoc or two publishing in internationally leading journals, followed by a job and another five years experience or so. Find me another job requiring a PhD, eight years' experience and an international reputation that pays £45k/year.
Here we go again
Sounds like what happened in the late eighties -
big push for engineers + 3-4 year degree course > graduates coming out to find a job market full of newly redundant engineers fighting for the same jobs
There's been a perennial so-called "skills shortage" for the last 50 years. And the CBI have done... what? since they were formed in 1965?
they still won't pay
At least not at home. They'll happily pay less for incompetance from SE Asia.
The price is right!
Why would someone do a difficult, mentally tiring job all day for the same wage as a person who can stare vacantly out of a shop window and pretend to know something about phones. The wage differentials these days are ridiculous; I have seen software jobs being offered at the same rate as admin staff or labourers. Maybe the job shortage is due to so many people leaving the technically arduous engineering world to become plasterers or plumbers, where they can earn much more and worry less.
