The Louth County Board of the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) () or Louth GAA is one of the 32 county boards of the GAA in Ireland, and is responsible for Gaelic games in County Louth.  The county board is also responsible for the Louth county teams.

County Board Chairpersons

The officials who have chaired the Louth GAA board since the establishment of the Gaelic Athletic Association are named below.

Elections for Chairperson as well as other positions take place at the board's annual convention and are held at headquarters in Darver. The maximum term under current county board rules is five years for any position.

The current incumbent, Clan Na Gael's Peter Fitzpatrick  T.D., is a former player and captain of the county football team. He also managed the team from 2010-12, the highlight of his tenure being Louth's first appearance in a Leinster Senior Football Championship Final for 50 years in  2010.

Crest

In 2010, the Drogheda Gaelic football club, O'Raghallaigh's, tabled a motion for convention calling for the Boyne Valley Cable Bridge symbol to be removed from the Louth GAA crest because of the bridge's main location being in the neighbouring county of Meath; this led to the county crest being changed to a simpler version.

Ógspórt Lú
Ógspórt Lú is the organisation in County Louth for the promotion of Gaelic Games and Activities among young children.

Its approach is new and innovative, concentrating on maximum participation, skill development and the inculcation of best practice.

It was founded in 2007 following a consultative process that identified the need for a new beginning and a system that would provide a solid foundation for the future development of Gaelic games in Louth.

Football

Clubs

Clubs contest the Louth Senior Football Championship. That competition's most successful club is Newtown Blues, with 23 titles.

Dundalk Young Irelands are the county's and country's oldest GAA club. Dundalk Young Irelands represented the county in the first All Ireland Football final which was played at Beech Hill on 29 April 1888 against the Limerick Commercials.

County team

The earliest recorded inter-county football match took place in 1712 when Louth faced Meath at Slane. A fragment of a poem from 1806 records a football match between Louth and Fermanagh at Inniskeen, Co Monaghan.

When Louth GAA sent the team into training in Dundalk for the 1913 Croke Memorial replay under a soccer trainer from Belfast, the move caused more than a ripple through the Association. For thirty years full-time training in bursts of a week or so before a big match were common. After that the two or three times a week gatherings became more popular.

Between 1945 and 1953 Louth and Meath met 13 times. The crowds got bigger and bigger each time as they played draw after draw in the Championship. The attendance of 42,858 at a thrilling 1951 replay remained a record for a provincial match other than a final for forty years the four match series between Meath and Dublin in 1991. The rivalry with Meath has never fizzled out, as witnessed by a stirring Leinster semi-final in 1998. Nor has controversy, as witnessed by Graham Geraghty's "wide" 45th minute point.
In 1957 showband star Dermot O'Brien was late for the All-Ireland final and joined the team when the parade was completed. Prior to the game O'Brien had captained the side in the semi final success, when the regular captain Patsy Coleman had been injured. Both Ardee men tossed a coin to see who would captain the team. O'Brien won the toss. Coleman today still has the match ball.  O'Brien played a key role as Louth beat Cork with the help of a goal from Sean Cunningham with five minutes to go. Dermot O'Brien died on 21 May 2007.
As both Cork and Louth wear Red and White, on that day Louth wore the green of Leinster, while Cork wore the blue of Munster.

Eamonn McEneaney was manager from 2006 to 2009 and guided them to their most recent success, the O'Byrne Cup when they defeated DCU in the 2009 final played in the Gaelic Grounds in Drogheda.

On 27 June 2010, Louth reached their first Leinster Senior Championship Final in 50 years. During the Leinster Final on 11 July that year, anger and controversy erupted when, during the 74th minute of the match against Meath, a goal was awarded by the referee after brief consultation with only one of the match umpires (although close circuit camera evidence shown on the RTÉ Two coverage of the game proved that the ball was carried over the line by a Meath player). However, Meath received the 2010 Leinster Title and the cup. Louth have been represented by two players in the International Rules Series versus Australia in recent years, Paddy Keenan and Ciarán Byrne.

Hurling
Clubs contest the Louth Senior Hurling Championship. That competition's most successful club is Naomh Moninne, with 22 titles.

The Louth hurling team competes in the Nicky Rackard Cup, an extension of the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship. The Louth hurlers finished as runner-up to London in the 2005 final at Croke Park, and to Sligo in 2008. In 2016, they competed in the Lory Meagher Cup, defeating Sligo in the final 4-15 to 4-11, and Fermanagh in the 2020 final by 2-19 to 2-08.

Louth won the 2022 Lory Meagher Cup to become the first team to win that competition on three occasions.

Louth has the following achievements in hurling.

 All-Ireland Junior Hurling Championship: 1976, 1977
 Lory Meagher Cup: 2016, 2020, 2022
 Leinster Junior Hurling Championship: 1968, 1969, 1973
 National Hurling League Div. 3: 2000, 2008. 1967 first national hurling league title beating mayo in final , Div 3 ...

Aidan Kerrigan from Ballyoughter, County Wexford has worked with the Louth senior hurling team.

Camogie
Louth contested two All Ireland senior finals in 1934 and 1936, captained by Rose Quigley from Darver, where Fr Tom Soraghan was zealously promoting the game. Kathleen and Nan Hegarty two of her Darver team-mates were leading players of the decade.

Notable players include junior player of the year winner in 1982 Vivienne Kelly.

Under Camogie's National Development Plan 2010-2015, "Our Game, Our Passion", Carlow, Cavan, Laois, Louth and Roscommon were to get a total of 17 new clubs by 2015.

Louth have the following achievements in camogie.

All-Ireland Senior Camogie Championship runners-up: 1934, 1936

Ladies' football
Louth has a ladies' football team.

Research shows the risk of death from Covid for over 70s has decreased by tenfold compared to a year ago, thanks to vaccines, natural immunity, treatments, and the replacement of Delta by the mild Omicron variant.
In younger age groups the decline is sharper with the risk of death to healthy teens "almost zero".
Professor Anthony Brookes, an expert in genetics and health data at University of Leicester, helped compile the research based on Office of National Statistics, Government and NHS infection reports.
He said Covid no longer posed a significant threat to "the vast majority of people"
"We will not be in anything like the same place in January 2022 as we were in January 2021. Infected individuals are at dramatically less risk of becoming seriously ill or dying than a year ago," he said.
He added: "Over the last month the risk has been dropping further thanks to Omicron now accounting for around 95 per cent of cases in England. Omicron is around 4-fold less dangerous - it's like nature's vaccine."
Comment: So why the big push for everyone to 'Get Boosted Now' then?
He added: "There has always been over a thousand fold difference in risk of serious illness or death between the old and the young. Currently the risk of death for the population as a whole is no worse than for seasonal influenza. For healthy children the risk is miniscule."
At the start of the pandemic on average those over 70 had roughly a ten percent risk of dying from Covid-19 if infected.
Comment: If they had comorbidities...
This 'Infection Fatality Rate' (IFR) has now fallen to 1-2 percent for this especially vulnerable section of society.
The data also show each 15 year drop in age brings about a ten fold fall in risk, with healthy teenagers at "almost zero risk," of dying.
"Younger people now have a higher risk of dying from a car crash in a whole year, than they do from Covid-19. Since their serious Covid risk is already very low, it is hard to identify any good reason for imposing or coercing youngsters to take on the known risks of vaccination."
Comment: This has always been the case but nobody listened! See also: Children at greater risk of lightning strike than coronavirus, claims expert.
He added: "Covid-19 is progressively evolving to become another form of the common cold. Omicron takes us further down that path by reducing IFR at least three fold. Would a normal society undertake mass testing and require isolation for the common cold?"
However, he said despite the reduced severity of covid disease, hospitals are still likely to be under "severe pressure" this month due to the large number of hospital acquired infections, staff isolation rules, the non-covid backlog together with infection control measures which slow the pace of hospital procedures.
"Even if Omicron caused no deaths or severe illness, hospitals would still struggle this winter because of the measures brought in to control covid, as well as the fact that hospitals are striving to clear the non-covid backlog."
Professor Paul Hunter, an expert in infectious disease at the University of East Anglia said: "There is no doubt the illness we are seeing now is less severe than at the start. We are seeing a big shift towards covid becoming the common cold due to a range of factors including prior infection and vaccines.
"There is a point where we have to ask why are we testing and isolating people who just have a common cold?
Comment: For control perhaps?
"We could bring down our isolation requirements to five days from a positive test - after five days there is no real advantage in isolating people. By Easter I think we could end mass testing and test only in hospitals unless things turn out worse than we expect."
He added: "We also need to stop mass testing healthy children without symptoms. The harm to education from having to isolate healthy children if they test positive now outweighs any benefit to those children and we cannot continue."
Robert Dingwall, former government pandemic advisor and professor of sociology at Nottingham Trent University said: "It may take another couple of weeks to be certain about the impact of omicron on older people, because of the disruption to the statistics over Christmas and New Year. However, all the signs are that the micro-management of everyday life will very soon be redundant.
Dismantling controls is, though, much harder than introducing them, especially when there are strong social, economic, and political investments in there continuation. What we now need to do is to build more resilience into our public services so they can cope with periodic waves of sickness absence. Ten years of austerity has stripped away that cushion and it must be restored."

Would a normal society undertake mass testing and require isolation for the common cold?"
Nope, not a normal one. But today's society? Betcha life on it.

CONNECTICUT: Renovations to a modern railroad bridge near Norwalk uncovered 17th-century artifacts and traces of a rare Native American fort dating to the early period of European contact. The objects, both native and European, suggest the site may have been a prominent trading post where the native population exchanged goods with Dutch settlers. Historians hope the excavations will provide important cultural information about the little-known Norwalk Indians.
FLORIDA: A long-lost shrine dedicated to Nuestra Señora de La Leche y Buen Parto at the Mission Nombre de Dios in St. Augustine may finally have been located. The important religious structure was built by Governor de Hita y Salazar in 1677 and damaged by a British attack in 1702. It was eventually rebuilt nearby. During the 1950s, a local priest who was also an amateur archaeologist rediscovered the original building's foundations, but they were quickly reburied and the location was forgotten for decades.
BELIZE: Maya communities living in coastal Belize more than 1,000 years ago manufactured large quantities of sea salt that they traded to inland settlements. A recent evaluation of wear patterns on stone tools from the Paynes Creek Salt Works indicates that the Maya may have produced and traded salted fish and meat as well. Researchers originally thought the tools were used for cutting wood, but striations on the blades are more consistent with cutting fish, chopping bones, and scraping animal hides.
SCOTLAND: The personal seal of John Campbell of Cawdor, a prominent participant in Scotland's notorious MacDonald-Campbell clan conflicts, was found beneath a layer of rubble at Dunyvaig Castle on the island of Islay. Once the stronghold of the MacDonald Lords of the Isles, Dunyvaig was fought over by the rival clans. It fell to Campbell in 1615. The lead seal, which was used to sign documents, is inscribed with Campbell's name, the date 1593, and the Cawdor coat of arms featuring a galley ship and a stag.
FRANCE: A 2nd-century Roman water mill in Barbegal was one of the world's first industrial complexes, capable of producing 28 tons of flour per day. Scholars believed that the mill supplied grain to the nearby city of Arles. But a recent examination of carbonate mineral deposits revealed that it was regularly closed for months at a time. Instead of feeding the population of Arles, the mill likely manufactured hardtack, a nonperishable foodstuff essential for ship crews during sailing season.
PORTUGAL: The wreck of a 400-year-old Portuguese ship dating to the golden age of the European spice trade was located near the mouth of the Tagus River, 15 miles west of Lisbon. The ship appears to have sunk after returning from India with its cargo of valuable spices and Asian artifacts. During a preliminary survey of the wreck site, divers documented peppercorns, 9 bronze cannons engraved with the Portuguese coat of arms, Chinese porcelain from the Wanli period (1573–1620), and cowrie shells, which were often used as currency.
ITALY: Death was quick—but gruesome—for the victims of the A.D. 79 eruption of Mount Vesuvius. New analysis of residue on the skeletons of people trapped along the waterfront in the town of Herculaneum suggests that exposure to extreme heat may have been their cause of death, not asphyxiation, as has traditionally been thought. Herculaneum and other nearby towns were hit with a fastmoving cloud of ash and gas that reached temperatures of 900°F. This vaporized blood, bodily fluids, and brain matter, literally causing heads to explode.
KENYA: Africa's savannas, such as the Serengeti, are renowned for their biodiversity and pristine nature. A new study proposes that human intervention may have been instrumental in creating these ecosystems 3,000 years ago. Soil analysis from Neolithic sites associated with nomadic herders in southern Kenya shows that dung from corralled livestock created nutrient-rich "hotspots" across the prehistoric landscape. This led to an increase in fertile grasses thousands of years ago that, even today, attract a diverse array of wildlife.
CHINA: A 900-year-old tomb of a Chinese woman near Tieguai Village, Anhui Province, contained a fabric banner identifying her as the "Grand Lady." Judging from her luxurious burial, she certainly merited the moniker. Her well-preserved body still bore gold and silver hairpins, silver bracelets, gold earrings, fancy robes, and embroidered shoes, and her grave was filled with more than 200 other objects. These include bundles of clothing, cosmetic tools, wooden figurines, bronze coins, porcelain bowls, and even a model courtyard house, complete with tiny furniture.
INDONESIA: Thousands of years before it became a trendy ingredient in pumpkin-flavored autumn treats, nutmeg was already spicing things up. The oldest evidence—from some 3,500 years ago—for humans ingesting nutmeg has been detected on pottery sherds from Pulau Ay in the Banda Islands. Researchers do not know whether it was being used for its fruit, as a spice to flavor food, or for medicinal purposes. But Neolithic Indonesian communities were clearly familiar with its unique properties and flavor long before it became a sought-after global commodity.

For the last two weeks Little Gems have been working on a secret mission! We have been making our very own Christmas decorations to decorate the nursery. we have provided the children with Christmas paint, sparkly materials, glitter and sequins and they have produced some amazing pieces of imaginative art. We have been very busy making giant baubles, Christmas trees, sparkling stars and the most adorable snowmen which will be displayed on our main wall in the nursery. We shall be transforming the room so the children get a wonderful surprise when they come to Little Gems on Monday morning!
Our Little Gems have also been practising singing songs for the Christmas performance. We are learning Christmas songs which we hope you will enjoy.
At snack time the children enjoyed making sandwiches. They spread their own cheese spread on wholemeal bread and some of them were able to successfully fold the bread in half, while others were able to cut their bread into pieces. A super activity to help develop the children's physical development and a tasty snack which the children were proud to prepare themselves.
The children continue to enjoy our new giant chalk boards. Most of the adults in the nursery have a daily menu or shopping list written for them! :-) Also there have been some very good self portraits on the chalk boards this week! We have a new bench in our outdoor area which we call our 'chatting bench' The children often stop for a sit down and a chat to each other or the grown ups in the setting. A lovely place to make friends and have a little chat!
We have all enjoyed going on adventures in our school grounds! We have used our senses to explore our outdoor environment and the children found some real treasure! (The bright yellow leaves on the tree at the bottom of the field) Putting on our wellies and stamping in puddles has been greatly enjoyed too!
Our Last week before the half term break was filled with Halloween inspired spooky activities! The children enjoyed using pastels to colour in some pumpkins and we decorated witches hats with black paint and glitter!
In addition to this the children had a go at scooping out a pumpkin and some of us really enjoyed exploring the slippery texture of the flesh. However, some of us preferred to dig out the pumpkin with a spoon!
Spiders and scary creatures were added to our sensory tray and the children enjoyed eating bug filled wibbly wobbly jelly for their snack!
We started off by reading the story of 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar'. This inspired many activities including decorating our Cosy Corner with a 'Very Hungry Caterpillar' display. The children were very creative and helped make and decorate caterpillars and we learned a new song, 'Little Arabella Miller Found a Woolly Caterpillar'. The children also made their own fruit smoothies, again taking inspiration from the story. The children really enjoyed chopping apples, kiwi and pears then watching Miss McShane blend the fruit in the noisy blender. We enjoyed our smoothies at snack time!
Little Gems have been learning about Autumn. We have enjoyed Autumn walks where we have noticed changes in the weather and our environment. We have collected leaves, printed with them and had lots of Autumnal sensory experiences, including exploring some very messy Autumn gloop! The children have used conkers, twigs, acorns and fur cones for sorting and counting and made hedgehogs with our Autumnal play dough.


Whether it be a simple paint job or a complete rip-out, you want to know that you are doing the right thing and that the results will match up to your dreams.
A kitchen refurbishment requires more thought than possibly any other room and we can help you to figure out the way to make the most of your space for the way you live.
A few coats of paint can transform a room but redecorating can be time-consuming and a perfect finish is hard to achieve without training and experience.
The walls need to be prepared, wallpaper cut perfectly to match patterns and designs, paste carefully applied, and paper hung straight and level.
Exterior decorating involves specialised products and equipment, and knowledge of how best to protect your home from the English weather!
Whether you want bespoke kitchen units, built-in wardrobes, or purely wish to repair or replace damaged woodwork to the interior or exterior of your home. The fake rolex datejust for sale for men.

Aloha from Hawaii
1973 – Elvis is broadcast via satellite to over 1 billion viewers in over 40 countries. That is, except for the U.S. because Superbowl VII was being played. The U.S. finally got to see the concert on April 4, 1973 on NBC.
The show, entitled "Aloha from Hawaii via Satellite", cost $2.5 million to produce. Presley taped a backup two days prior in case any problems arose. Presley performed many of his hits such as "Burning Love", "My Way", "Blue Suede Shoes", "Hound Dog", "Suspicious Minds", and "Can't Help Falling in Love".
Elvis' famous jumpsuit from that night can be seen at Graceland. You can also get the Elvis: Aloha from Hawaii (40th Anniversary Edition) DVD from Amazon.

Sony Betamax
1975 – Sony releases the first home videocassette recorder in the US. Japan first saw the Betamax on May 10, 1975, which was not uncommon. The magnetic tape media was the first to be on the market, as VHS didn't come around until 1976.
Many believed Betamax was the better of the two in quality. Many TV and professional recording companies used the format almost til the end of their lifetime. Of course, in 1984, the players were under major fire for copyright infringement from Universal. However, it was ruled that although they could record the content, it was not their responsibility if someone used it for illegal activity.
Sony finally stopped producing the player and tapes on August, 2002.

The Great American GPS Stash Hunt !!
Now that SA is off we can start a worldwide Stash Game!! With
Non-SA accuracy it should be easy to find a stash from waypoint
information. Waypoints of secret stashes could be shared on the
Internet, people could navigate to the stashes and get some
stuff. The only rule for stashes is: Get some Stuff, Leave some
Stuff!! The more valuable the stuff the more stashes will be
I'm thinking of half burying a five gallon plastic bucket with
lid at the stash point. Putting in some stuff. Adding a logbook
and pencil so visitors can record their find. The log should
contain: Date, Time, What you got, and What you put in. Scanning
the log book should give you a quick inventory of the stash.
I'll look for a place near a road where few people would
normally go… Put in some cash, an old digital camera, and some
antique silverware!! I will come up with a cool name for my
stash and post coordinates soon!!!
Make your own stash in a unique location, put in some stuff and
a log book. Post the location on the Internet. Soon we will have
thousands of stashes all over the world to go searching for.
Have Fun!!

GOP governors betraying constituents by pushing refugee resettlement
Daniel Horowitz	· December 11, 2019
KeithBinns | Getty Images
After a year of record illegal immigration and a high baseline of third-world legal immigration, Republican governors are now pushing for even more refugee resettlement.
In September, President Trump gave veto power to governors and county officials to halt refugee resettlement in their respective jurisdictions with the full understanding that at least the Republican officials would follow his campaign promises of putting American taxpayers first. Instead, not a single Republican governor has publicly exercised this prerogative, while several of them have given their affirmative support to this travesty.
Governor Doug Ducey, R-Ariz., leads a state that has been beleaguered by illegal immigration with an enormous cost to taxpayers, financially as well as in education, culture, drugs, and crime. Yet earlier this year, he agreed to implement in-state tuition discounts for illegal aliens. Evidently, dealing with the entirety of Central America at Arizona's international border and in the local communities is not enough for him. He has now agreed to allow refugee resettlement contract groups to engage in more resettlement in the Grand Canyon State.
"Throughout our nation's history, the United States has been a refuge for individuals fleeing religious and political persecution in their homeland," Ducey wrote Friday in a formal letter to U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo consenting to resettlement. "And Arizona has historically been one of the most welcoming states in terms of the number of refugees resettled here."
Local Democrat congressmen and state officials expressed satisfaction with Ducey's agreement with their position. He also has the support of state House Speaker Rusty Bowers, R-Mesa. When it comes to the real issues that matter to our future, both parties are on the same page, representing the special interests and not the voiceless taxpayers.
Do the people of Arizona not factor into Ducey's virtue-signaling? Moreover, is Ducey unaware that much religious strife has actually ceased to be an issue in the modern era, with most of the conflict now involving warring Islamic factions, not persecuted minorities? We are bringing in an equal number of Sunnis and Shiites from places like Iraq, with no understanding of how they will live harmoniously with each other, much less with Americans. Why should his state's population be on the hook for the language and cultural problems in the schools? Who else will pay for it?
Also, the fact that Arizona has taken in so many refugees in the past, in addition to shouldering one of the heaviest burdens of illegal immigration in the nation, is a reason to slow down the process and allow for more assimilation and give taxpayers a reprieve. It's not a reason to step on the gas pedal with more open-borders policies.
It's not just large cities like Phoenix that are being transformed. A quick search of the WRAPS State Department database indicates that Glendale, Arizona, has become the new hot spot for resettlement in recent years. A midsized suburb of Phoenix, Glendale has received 2,700 refugees over the past four fiscal years. Most of them originate from Islamic countries or places with dramatically different countries and volatile tribal divisions, such as Iraq, Somalia, Burma, Syria, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Who is looking out for the security concerns, especially when so many Somali refugees have been known to bring their intra-clan violence to our shores, dividing along the same gang structures they had in their home countries?
Last year, Ahmad Suhad Ahmad, an Iraqi refugee living in Tucson, was arrested for an elaborate bomb plot after he was caught making two explosive devices in Las Vegas. Also last year, Mohamed Abdirahman Osman and Zeinab Abdirahman Mohamed, a refugee couple living in Tucson, were indicted after they were found to have been members of Al-Shabab. The FBI believes that Osman sustained permanent injuries from his time handling explosives for the terror group. I'm sure Doug Ducey will personally vet these people to ensure all of them will love America.
But these are the Republicans we are electing. They are indistinguishable from Democrats on this and many other issues.
Thus far, the Republican governors of New Hampshire, North Dakota, and Utah have also agreed to refugee resettlement, at least as long as the county governments agree to it. But the RINO problem likely runs deeper than that. As refugee expert Ann Corcoran warns, the New York Times is reporting that 16 governors have officially consented to resettlement. Which ones? Are other Republicans silently supporting this? Well, that is exactly what will happen if conservatives don't get engaged on the ground and demand that governors such as Texas' Greg Abbott decline to resettle refugees.
In October, the Washington Post reported that "none of the 27 Republican governors and other state officeholders contacted by The Post said definitively that they would move to block refugees." The only statewide elected Republican willing to go on record was Alabama's Attorney General Steve Marshall. "There is an array of challenges — financial, legal and public safety, to name a few — that states or localities face when compelled to accommodate refugee populations," said Marshall's office in a comment to the Post. "States deserve to be heard before those decisions are made."
Why can't any other Republican go on the record as standing with taxpayers?
The answer is that most Republicans are bought out by the big business and agricultural interests, in addition to being intimidated by the progressive outrage-mongers. Earlier this week, despite massive protests, the Burleigh County, North Dakota, Commission voted 3-2 to accept refugees. This is a county Trump carried by a 46-point margin in 2016, yet we can't even elect Republicans who will side with the people. The governor, Doug Burgum, already gave his approval for resettlement in counties that vote for it.
Do yourself a favor: Look at the roster of GOP governors and ask yourself how many of them share our values on immigration, sovereignty, national security, crime, health care, traditional values, and spending, just to name a few issues. If you find more than two or three, you are likely living in a dream world.
Many Republicans voted for Donald Trump in the primary because they were sick of business as usual with Republican politicians acting like Democrats. The problem is that no effort has been made to change the type of Republicans we are electing down-ballot. This issue of fundamental transformation through Middle Eastern refugees is the perfect issue with which to catalyze a movement to finally drain the GOP swamp. Let these Republicans become political refugees during next election. When will conservative talk radio and media figures stand up and be counted on the issues that actually matter in their own party?

Q: Yii2: Kartik's DetailView and Select2 loading id's not text So I'm loading Kartik's Select2 widget in Kartik's DetailView using multiple input:
[
  'attribute' => 'characters',
  'format'    => 'raw',
  'type'      => DetailView::INPUT_SELECT2,
  'value'     => function($form, $widget) {
                  <my_stuff_in_VIEW_mode>
                 },
  'widgetOptions' => [
            'options'       => ['multiple' => true, 'placeholder' => Yii::t('app', 'Select...')],
            'pluginOptions' => [
               'allowClear'         => true,
               'minimumInputLength' => 3,
               'maximumInputLength' => 20,
               'language'           => Yii::$app->language,
               'ajax' => [
                    'url'      => \yii\helpers\Url::to(['myAjaxServer']),
                    'dataType' => 'json',
                    'delay'    => 250,
                    'data'     => new JsExpression('function(params) { return {q:params.term, p:params.page}; }'),
                    'cache'          => true,
                ],
               'escapeMarkup' => new JsExpression("function (markup) { return markup; }"),
               'templateResult'     => new JsExpression("function (characters) { return '<b>' + characters.text + '</b>'; }"),
               'templateSelection'  => new JsExpression("function (characters) { return characters.text; }"),
            ],
  ],
],

When it comes to Kartik's DetailView, VIEW mode correctly shows my list of characters given by value, but when entering EDIT mode I got this:

which obviously is not what I expected: I want my characters' names rather than their IDs. However if I select new characters from this very same input dropdown, new tags are added which properly show the new names (thus this issue happens when updating data). After I confirm the new data and then try to update, new characters are shown with their IDs again.
JSON data is as follows:
{"results":[{"id":"8","text":"Character8"},{"id":"5","text":"Character5"}],"pagination":{"more":true}}

Any ideas?
UPDATED WITH SOLUTION BY KARTIK BELOW:
Add initValueText as an array of desired attribute values:
'initValueText' => ArrayHelper::getColumn($model->characters, 'name'),

A: You need to set Select2::initValueText when using Select2 with ajax to show the displayed name instead of id. For multiple select this needs to be setup as an array.

Please, No Olympics in Los Angeles
It never ceases to amaze me on how the fatuity of politicians, especially local politicians, and that of their enablers in media operates. The bid process for the 2024 Olympics is already underway and people are seriously proposing Los Angeles as a potential site. Yahoo News can't contain itself;
The U.S. Olympic Committee on Tuesday named Los Angeles as its candidate for the 2024 Games, replacing Boston's soured bid and marking a comeback for LA's dream of becoming a three-time Olympic host.
And of course, the glad-handers in the Los Angeles City council are tripping over themselves to bring this monstrosity to Los Angeles. Geniuses over on Central Avenue of course voted 15-0 to pursue this idiocy.
When Garcetti was elected, I was excited that at least a thinking Democrat had been chosen instead of the unions' point stooge. It seems the mayor left his brain at the door when he went to work;
Garcetti has vowed to sign an IOC host contract that would make the city financially liable if the Games ended up in debt. The mayor has said no tax dollars would be needed because billions in broadcast, sponsorship and ticket revenues would cover costs and generate a $161-million surplus.
Makes you wonder if he bought stock in a few local construction companies. Or, far more likely, has favors to owe.
Stadiums and the Politicians Who Love Them
Seriously. Politicians love stadiums and hosting gigantic, wasteful sports events. It's like they are ignorant or just gluttons for punishment. Furthermore, their friends in the chattering classes also love to egg them on. For instance the Los Angeles Times breathlessly assures us, "There's no denying Los Angeles' growing Olympic appeal." What? Of course there's denying it. It just seems politicians have no interest in hearing any such "denials."
Whether it's Scott Walker and his beloved Bucks Stadium or the St. Louis City Council and their groveling attempt to keep the Rams from jumping ship to Los Angeles, politicians cannot throw enough taxpayer dollars at sports franchises and their massive events.
Two main reasons. The first is just basic corruption in politics, especially municipal politics. They have allies to pay and donors to reward with various bids and contracts. The stadium, or the Olympics, is a pay out. A great (fictional but in a fake-but-accurate sort of way) example of this is a scene from HBO's highly underrated Boss, which has Kelsey Grammer portraying a Tom Daley type mayor of Chicago; slick modern politician meets old school Irish head breaker. First episode has a great scene where Kane (Grammer) bawls out a city alderman for threatening an airport expansion at O'Hare. He explains out the ins and outs of municipal politics quite easily in this profanity laden rant;
At least Kane was semi-competent in his corruption.
22 f–kin' years. You think this is easy. Does Moco? I've been accused of bulldozing the First Amendment. Trashing people's constitutional right to rest in peace until Jesus Christ's redemptive resurrection at the world's f–kin' end. And I've only been dealing here with your average heroes of the Underground f–king Railroad. Veterans of the Civil f–kin' War. Families who hosted Abraham f–king Lincoln, lying in grave that happened to be lined up east-west because they believe Christ will return on that axis, which also happens to cut smack f–ckin' bang! Across two of my runways! Do you think this is easy?! Answer me!
I've been called everything from sacrilegious to vile to a f–cking grave robber. And I'm doing it all! Brow beating, finessing, pleading, threatening, begging on my g-ddamn knees. F–ckin'debasing myself! And for what!? For the contracts, for the jobs…
The second, less cynical, reason is that politicians, like most in the media and most voters, are just economic illiterates, more focused on the seen versus the unseen. In his 1850 essay, French economist Frederic Bastiat explained that people celebrate the seen and do not focus on the unseen. In his parable of the broken window, he explains that we celebrate the money earned by the glazier when the shop keeper's window is broken and could thus surmise that broken windows is helpful for the economy. After all they increase industry and move money. However he notes that what is unseen is the lost opportunity as that money could've been spent elsewhere on more productive sectors of the economy.
Similarly we freak out over "stolen jobs" when an immigrant gains a tile laying job but then do not see the created jobs via lower prices, paychecks going farther and increased investment. Populists on the right and left bemoan outsourcing and then does not see how more jobs would've been lost had the firm not moved 70% of their labor overseas.
So it is with sports. Politicians see the increased tax revenue, the franchise profits, vendors, building contracts, et cetera and don't see the displacement, the lost tax revenue, the how capital has been reallocated to unproductive sectors and how the economy is overall harmed.
No Olympics Here Please
The first thing that must be discussed is the exorbitant cost. On average; the Games bring in roughly $5 billion to which idiots go, "Oh boy!" Problem? Best case scenario in recent history has been costs that run up to the tens of billions. Literally our best case recent scenario is Athens' $16 billion. Look around LA's crumbling infrastructure and tell yourself with a straight face that we will be more efficient than the municipal mafia government in Athens. This is a city constantly teetering on the edge of debt. I did mention the mayor wants to make the city financially liable if it goes over budget, right?
In return, what does the city get? Basically nothing. There are always these promises of lasting economic development that never materialize; Athens, the East End of London. At best the host city receives very short term benefits, which immediately evaporate once the Olympics are over.
Perversely, host cities usually suffer a lack of tourism during the Olympics. Yes that's right, cities hosting one of the most watched events on the planet see a decline of people wanting to visit. For instance both Atlanta and Sydney saw declines in tourists as people don't wish to wait through longer lines and increased prices (if you think trying to park in Los Angeles is a Kafkaesque, tears producing nightmare now, just wait until thousands of over fit yuppies and those who enjoy leering at them show up for a month).
Then, in the final insult, like a cheap john who leaves a tip of $1.25 on the dresser, the Olympics leaves immensely expensive, decaying, useless pieces of sports infrastructure that almost nobody uses.
Yet people can't help themselves. Cities literally line up to be debased and abused like this, like some debauched Skull & Bones initiation ceremony. Until the entire IOC bidding process is dramatically changed (it won't be), American cities and really just cities in general should opt out of this sucker's game. Unfortunately for Los Angeles and fortunately for the IOC, Garcetti is an exceptionally enthusiastic sucker who is just begging to be played (our one consolation is that this absurdity didn't occur during Villaraigosa's regime, a mayor so patently corrupt he would have willingly paid for the pleasure of pimping himself).
Unfortunately the only thing that can really save Los Angeles is the hope that another city prostitutes itself in a far more humiliatingly efficient manner (here's lookin' at you Rome!). Los Angeles has a terrible history of pursuing sports events/stadiums at any cost, including displacing marginalized residents, about whom presumably the city council would not care if they all died of Ebola. (Obviously the fact my grandmother lost her childhood home thanks to the heavy handed manner in which the city pursued the Brooklyn Dodgers hasn't jaundiced me at all. Of course not.)
Why are you resisting ma'am?! Think of the temporary construction jobs you ingrate!
For those who would like to read more on how hosting the Olympics and other sports-industrial complex nonsense is a chump's game, here are some sources.

First Use of Newly Approved Topography-Guided LASIK in Southern California Performed by Dr. Paul Dougherty
Vision Blog > First Use of Newly Approved Topography-Guided LASIK in Southern California Performed by Dr. Paul Dougherty
Dougherty Laser Vision Introduces Uniquely Precise Laser Treatment for Nearsightedness and Astigmatism
Westlake Village, Calif. – May 27, 2014 — Dr. Paul Dougherty of Dougherty Laser Vision has performed the first FDA approved topography-guided LASIK procedure in Southern California, introducing a new generation of laser technology designed to be far more precise and with fewer night vision side effects than even the most advanced wavefront-guided LASIK.
CATz was recently approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to treat patients with nearsightedness and astigmatism (blurry or distorted vision caused by irregular curvature of the eye). It is also the first LASIK technology to demonstrate improved night vision after surgery (compared to using glasses or contact lenses).
The first patient Dr. Dougherty treated with CATz following FDA approval of the NIDEK system was a 34-year old woman with moderate nearsightedness and astigmatism. After surgery, her vision is better than 20/20, without glasses or contacts.
Patients interested in learning more about CATz topography-guided LASIK should call (866) 987-2020 or visit the Dougherty Laser Vision website at www.doughertylaservision.com to schedule a free consultation.
About Dougherty Laser Vision and Paul Dougherty MD
For nearly 20 years, Dougherty Laser Vision has brought the benefits of LASIK, lens implants, cataract surgery and other advanced vision correction procedures to patients who demand the highest quality care. Medical Director Dr. Paul Dougherty is an internationally renowned eye surgeon who has performed more than 30,000 vision correction procedures and helped pioneer many of today's most advanced refractive surgery techniques. He also serves as assistant clinical instructor of ophthalmology at UCLA's Jules Stein Eye Institute and as a principal investigator for numerous FDA trials. Dr. Dougherty was one of the first surgeons in the U.S. to perform laser vision correction on an investigational basis. He also had the procedure on his own eyes in 1997. His book – "See for Yourself – A Patient's Guide to Permanent Vision Correction," is a popular guide for consumers. Dougherty Laser Vision has locations throughout Los Angeles and Ventura Counties.

El Pánico del cobre de 1789 fue una de las primeras crisis monetarias de los Estados Unidos que fue causada por la degradación y la pérdida de confianza en las monedas de cobre que sucedió bajo la presidencia de George Washington.

Después de la Revolución Americana, muchos estados comenzaron a acuñar sus propias monedas en gran parte en cobre. Al principio, las monedas fueron ampliamente aceptadas y su uso fue raramente impedido, mientras que varios intentos del Imperio Británico para introducir nuevas monedas en las Américas se encontraron con resistencia. Durante algunos años hubo altos niveles de confianza en estas monedas y con el conocimiento que eran de un cobre de alta calidad.

Primeras falsificaciones
A medida que más falsificadores comenzaron la producción y causaron que los mineros hubieran de rebajar sus monedas para permanecer en los negocios, el valor del cobre comenzó a caer. Varias leyes fueron aprobadas durante este periodo de tiempo, incluyendo la prohibición de las monedas rebajadas de ser considerada como moneda de curso legal. El Estado de Nueva York prohibió completamente la circulación de las monedas de cobre. El estado de New Jersey en 1787 declaró que ya no aceptaría ninguna oferta legal de otros estados por ninguna deuda. Esto favoreció la caída de los precios del cobre, obligando a muchos de los mineros a cerrar, dejando solos a los falsificadores para la para la producción de monedas de muy baja calidad.

Inflación máxima
En 1789 el mercado estaba completamente inundado de cobres degradados que eran oficialmente ilegales y por tanto causó que los ciudadanos perdieran toda confianza en ellos. Las monedas se volvieron casi completamente inútiles. En el apogeo de la degradación, hubo una tasa de inflación del 430% para el cobre y el comercio cesó, obligando a varias empresas y fabricantes a cerrar.

Nueva estabilidad
La situación se alivió cuando el Banco de Filadelfia comenzó a emitir billetes de papel para reemplazar las monedas de cobre. Los gobiernos estatales trataron de cooperar con el plan y, por tanto, establecieron la pequeña moneda fiduciaria como un medio activo de comercio. Con la estabilidad volviendo a la economía, el valor del cobre también aumentó nuevamente, hasta que casi volvió a los valores normales en la mayoría de las áreas. El comercio comenzó a florecer nuevamente cuando en el sistema monetario se restauró la confianza. Este evento fue en gran parte un factor para que el gobierno federal estableciera un estándar federal más fuerte de la moneda e iniciara más impuestos federales.

The History of Manuka Honey in New Zealand
As one of the most iconic and precious substances from New Zealand, Manuka honey has become famous worldwide for its scientifically proven health benefits. Derived from the Manuka bush (or Leptospermum scoparium) - this plant grows extensively around coastal areas of the country.
This article will outline and explore the history of pure Manuka honey and how it became an internationally recognised staple of natural health. Furthermore, this article will highlight why it's critical for your business to partner with a Manuka honey supplier who is aware of the cultural and logistical significance of the product.
The Maori Origin
The indigenous Maori population would use the redwoods from the Manuka tree to create many tools, such as weapons, spades, bird spears, and much more. In addition, the bark of the Manuka tree was used to make water containers and provided waterproof layers for roofs. It was also extensively used as Rongo (medicine).
The plant's bark was used topically to treat wounds and internally to prevent gum disease and improve overall health. First, the bark was burnt, and then the subsequent ash was used to treat skin diseases. Meanwhile, the water-boiled leaves produced vapour that was used for colds. Finally, the inner bark was boiled, and that liquid was used as a mouthwash.
Early European Use
Upon meeting the indigenous Maori people, James Cook found that the Manuka leaf could be used as an alternative to tea. It was subsequently seen to reduce the severity of scurvy (vitamin C deficiency) among his crewman.
Moreover, the early settlers who arrived in New Zealand would also drink the tea tree and learn of the medicinal uses from the Maori people.
Manuka Honey Is Born
In 1839, Mary Bumby was a Methodist missionary who introduced honey bees to New Zealand upon her arrival. Mary set up the first apiary in New Zealand, and it was established near several Manuka trees. So it's likely that the first Manuka honey was produced at this very spot.
Furthermore, New Zealand's diverse nature of trees made for the ideal honey bee environment. By then the 1860s, there were many honey bee colonies throughout New Zealand forests. The Maori people soon learned how to farm wild honey and would use this to their advantage. Maori entrepreneurs grew as New Zealand's first commercial beekeepers, selling honey through their new methods.
The Journey To Refined Manuka Honey
For many years, up until the late 20th century, Mānuka honey was considered to have very little value. Beekeepers would groan in frustration due to the difficulty of extracting Manuka honey from the hive frames.
Moreover, Manuka honey was considered too strong of a flavour compared to the widely-loved sweet clover honey. Also, it was not pure Manuka honey as the bees were not solely taking pollen and nectar from the Manuka bush. Only genuine Mānuka honey has the delectable taste that we've all come to love.
At the time, clover honey was dominating the domestic and export markets. Rumour has it that some beekeepers would even give Manuka honey to livestock as feed.
The Antibacterial Discovery of Liquid Gold
In the 1980s, Dr Peter Molan was a prominent biochemist who began exploring the potential of Manuka honey. To the world's surprise, Molan discovered an antibacterial capability within Manuka honey in a controlled laboratory environment.
The preliminary research conducted by Molan set the foundation for what would eventually lead to one of New Zealand's most profound natural exports.
Since Molan's research, Manuka honey has grown in both popularity and purity. Across the world, people can't get enough of this liquid gold.
Manuka Honey Empires
Many across New Zealand are now running their Mānuka honey operations. However, not all Manuka honey is made the same. There are a few metrics that companies use to sell their products based on potency. Across the world, it is well understood that the stronger the Manuka honey - the more unique the benefits.
Manuka honey suppliers are expected to keep up with the heavy demand worldwide, and only very few can deliver. Furthermore, consumers and brands expect top-quality products that are pure 100% New Zealand Manuka honey.

"...Yet the consortium does want its operating system to be the OS of choice: "We are trying to get together to create a process so that a de facto standard will emerge," said John Cheuck, the group's vice chairman."
"The reconcilliation between these two perspectives is that the new OS will simply become the standard version of Linux used by members, as opposed to the standard OS, period. Even Cheuck admitted that more than one standard will exist in the market."

Kodak Black given 46 months in jail for weapons charges. Picture: PA/Instagram
Rapper Kodak Black has been sentenced to more than three years in prison for unlawfully acquiring firearms.
Whilst Kodak Black is best known for hit songs such as 'ZEZE' and Roll In Peace', in recent times the rapper's legal troubles have taken centre stage and he's now been handed a jail sentence for unlawfully acquiring firearms.
> Kodak Black Apologises For Threatening To Punch Pregnant Yung Miami In The Stomach
Real name Bill Kapri, the 22-year-old Florida rapper was arrested earlier this year and later pleaded guilty to providing false information when trying to buy firearms as he had previously been refused them due to prior convictions.
When being sentenced to 46 months in jail, U.S. District Judge Federico A. Moreno labelled Kodak Black as a "danger to the community".
The judge went on to say, "Young people do stupid things, but the problem is that you've been doing stupid things since you were 15."
According to reports, just before Kodak Black was sentence he said, "I'm sorry for the actions that led me for where I'm standing. I do take full responsibility for my mishap."
It remains to be seen whether Kodak Black will continue to release music whilst he's in jail for the next few years but the rapper's team did post a picture of him on Instagram.
Written alongside the below image of Kodak in jail, the post read 'Hold It Down While I'm On Lock. Calling Shots From The Box #Literally'.

Electric control panels are part of the electric remote control system. The RLX handle connects to the control box through a control cable. From this control panel, an electrical current is sent through the control cord to a switch mounted under the control handle lever.
The magnetic valve converts the electric signal into a pneumatic signal. When the control handle is pressed, the switch engages air to pass through the control panel to activate the pneumatic remote controls, which initiates blasting. When the lever is released, it automatically disengages the control box.
Clemco's electric control panels, with ACS, are available in 12-volt and 120-volt to correspond with your given remote control system. They are also available for both single operator and dual operator models, allowing two operators to use the same blast pot.
Even if one operator lets go of their remote control handle and activates ACS, the blast pot will remain pressurizes and the second operator's blasting is not interrupted.


It always touches me when a random act of kindness is displayed to one of America's veterans.
Especially when the veteran in question either spent his time punching Nazis in the face or shooting Kamikazes out of the sky.
In this case the veteran in question was one of the latter.
A 92-year-old World War II veteran Robert Niemen was just wanting to have a meal with his son and a couple of other people for his birthday at Outback Steakhouse. However, what he experienced was an incredible display of respect and honor for a man that provided an incredible service for his country in time of need.
Bob Niemen, the son of the World War II veteran, wrote to Opposing Views about what happened at the Sebring, Florida Outback Steakhouse.
So, what happened that touched him so much?
The sad truth of it is that the generation that defended this nation against the insanity of the Nazi's and the imperial ambitions of the Japanese are dwindling in number as they enter their final reward.
There will come a time when they are no more heroes to salute from the largest war in mankinds history. If you get the chance, pay it back because they sure as hell paid it forward.
I don't mean you have to pick up their tab (though a good and generous notion) but a simple thank you is nice. They earned it.

1. Perform a thorough history of prescription, nonprescription, and alternative medications. Assess adherence to the prescribed regimen, including timing ofinhaled medications with respect to airway clearance therapies and timing of enzymes and insulin with regard to meals. Is the patient taking any medications not prescribed by the CF center team?
2. Is the patient on all appropriate maintenance medications? Are medications at the appropriate doses for weight and/or age? If the patient is admitted, are maintenance medications ordered?
3. Evaluate the medication regimen for drug interactions, adverse reactions, and allergies.
4. Assess pulmonary symptoms. Review the incidence and quality of cough, dyspnea, respiratory rate, sputum production, and fever. Are the patient's PFTs decreased? Is there an oxygen requirement?
5. Review culture and sensitivity history over the last 1 to 2 years. What antibiotics were used in the past, and did the patient appear to respond better to a particular regimen? Is the patient currently on antibiotics, and if so, are the symptoms improving? Recommend an appropriate antibiotic regimen based on culture and sensitivity data.
6. Review the pharmacokinetic history. Are there any possible changes in clearance since the last antibiotic course? Will the patient be discharged home on IV antibiotics? Can the IV regimen be simplified or made more convenient for home administration? Recommend appropriate doses based on the patient's clearance and an appropriate but convenient schedule.
7. Perform pharmacokinetic adjustments as necessary. Recommend a monitoring plan for the antibiotic course. Are any other laboratory tests necessary? Are signs of toxicity present?
8. Assess nutritional status. Is the patient gaining or maintaining weight according to age? Are any oral supplements or tube feedings being used?
9. Assess Gl symptoms. What is the quantity and quality of bowel movements? Does the patient have bloating, flatulence, or abdominal pain?
10. Assess quality-of-life measures such as physical, psychological, and social well-being.
11. Understand that CF therapy is complicated, and recommend regimens to ease the care burden if possible.
12. Educate the patient and family, stressing the importance of adherence to the regimen.


I am committed to investing in education to provide future generations with the tools they need to become leaders.
At a time when we face high energy and gas prices and see the effects of global warming in our daily lives, I believe that making the country more energy efficient will not only reduce our carbon footprint, but also will position the U.S. to thrive in a twenty-first century economy.
I believe our budget should strengthen Social Security and Medicare and invest in job growth through infrastructure, education, and research and development, while responsibly reducing our deficits and cutting wasteful spending and redundant programs where they exist.
I believe we must continue to expand and innovate within our health care system to provide all Wisconsinites access to health insurance and health care that meets their needs.
I have made creating jobs a number one priority and will fight to put Wisconsinites back to work and ensure long-term, sustainable growth that will power our economy for years to come.
I emphasize the need to maintain peace and security at home and abroad, through diplomacy whenever possible and I remain committed to ensuring Wisconsin's 400,000 veterans get the benefits they have earned.
While in Congress, I have made protection of critical programs for our seniors such as Social Security and Medicare one of my top priorities.
I oppose discrimination in all forms, whether based on gender, race, religion, or sexual orientation. As a co-chair of the Congressional LGBT Equality Caucus, I am a champion for equality and I have fought tirelessly to end discrimination against gays, lesbians, bisexuals, and transgender individuals.
I am a leader in the fight to ensure that every American can vote without fear of disenfranchisement. I believe a country built on the foundation of civic participation should never tolerate any politically-motivated threats to our ability to express our views at the polls.
I am dedicated to protecting America's family farmers and ensuring that the country is able to provide quality food for all of its citizens.

Account Representative Interview
I applied online. I interviewed at Detroit Business Consulting.
I was emailed the day after I sent my resume that they were interested in an interview. I interviewed on one Friday and was asked to have a second and third interview the following Friday.
There was nothing too complicated or difficult, but in retrospect the management and interviewers were vague and withholding about the actual duties of the position I applied for. Answer Question

Anonymous Interview Candidate in Troy, MI
Negative Experience
I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Detroit Business Consulting (Troy, MI) in July 2013.
This process is a complete scam, the company tries to portray a fun cool atmosphere that will give you money and room to excel in the career. This is a scam. MULTILEVEL Marketing Scam. After getting my offer to work there I found the rip off reports online that showed the company was paying Google to put the bad reviews lower on search results than the company's website.
What are the three best qualities about myself? Answer Question
Reasons for Declining
Total scam--- avoid this company at all costs
I applied online. The process took a week. I interviewed at Detroit Business Consulting.
In total, there are three interviews. I got the second and third interview at the same day. More like a back to back interview.
What is your biggest failure? Answer Question
Detroit Business Consulting 2013-11-18 11:06 PST
I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Detroit Business Consulting (Troy, MI) in December 2013.
3 interviews where the first two where traditional, I was offered a position before the third interview? It seemed like a multi level marketing company doing door to door Comcast sales. I do not know why I needed a degree for this type of position. It is commissioned sales. They offer a manager position for people who stay for a year and there are only a couple managers, this means that the turnover is extremely high. Whatever the reason is, I was not going to stick around to find out. Also, this is not your consulting firm, it is a direct sales and marketing firm.
None, out of the many people interviewing, we where all being offered positions. As if everyone who isn't really strange gets hired. 1 Answer
Everyone in the office was really young, there was no managers over 30ish. Also, for having a nice location in Troy, why where they playing loud music during the interview. I was slightly offended that the atmosphere, while optimistic, would have music playing really loud. I should of known, the ad was on Craigslist.
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Detroit Business Consulting (Troy, MI) in September 2014.
I was contacted within a few hours after applying to the position through Craigslist. Upon arriving to the interview, you could see several people entering and several exiting the office. It was clear that it was a revolving door of interviews taking place. I was asked somewhat informal/generic questions mostly about my personality. I know these may be important questions but these can't be the only questions that are relevant (this isn't a babysitting job or something). I felt that the interviewer was uncomfortable and more nervous than myself. After the interview they told me they would contact me that same day between 1pm and 1:30pm (my interview was at 9) and tell me if I made it to the next round. I was invited back for a second round but declined.
Nothing was difficult about the interview. It was more uncomfortable and seemed amateur. Answer Question
I declined because this is a door-to-door sales position and not something I thought I was applying for from the start. I thought this position was more of an office environment working on marketing campaigns and strategies (at least that's what the job description seemed on the posting)
I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Detroit Business Consulting in July 2014.
The interview process was pretty general, not too bad. The people that usually interview you are pretty nice. For the first round, a manager usually interviews you, and if you get called back for a second round, one of their account managers will interview you. The second round is quite long, but it goes by fast. Nothing too difficult. Then when you finish the second round, they almost always do a third round with another manager right after you finish the second round. The third round is probably the most brief out of all three rounds.
Nothing too difficult, pretty basic questions Answer Question
Anonymous Interview Candidate
I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Detroit Business Consulting.
I emailed my resume in and received a call the next day, I set up my first interview. The first interview was with one of the managers and pretty basic, general "get to know you" questions. Very little was said about the job itself. I got asked to come back for a second interview and made that appointment for later in the week. It was with an Account Manager at Panera (?!?), which I have never had an interview at Panera before. This interview the account manager described what I'd be doing and drew a diagram of what each position in the company looks like. Afterwards I got asked to stay for the 3rd interview which only lasted about 5 minutes and asked how I felt about everything. I was honest and said that I was a little unsure because the income didn't seem very reliable or steady (mostly all commission). Later that I night I received a call with the position being offered to me and when I turned it down due to the same reason I stated during the third interview, the manager that called me was so distraught that he hung up on me. Needless to say, I don't think it would have been a good fit.
The first interview was very laid back, we basically talked about sports and music for fifteen minutes. After that interview I received a callback for the second interview and I go to that one on Monday so hopefully it goes well
What I like to do for fun 1 Answer
I am not certain yet
I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Detroit Business Consulting (Troy, MI) in June 2011.
The hiring process was fairly simple. I received a call a week before and the woman asked me some general questions about what I was looking for (full time work, career advancement). Then she asked me to come in for a pre-liminary interview. The pre-lim was also simple with general questions about my work ethic, my experiences and education. Within a couple hours I received a call from the office manager asking me to come in for a second round interview two days later. The second interview is where things got less easy. First, they ask for you to take an entire day off (9:30am-5pm) which can be an expense. Also, they were not clear on what we would be doing. Instead, interviewees came in and were taken on job shadowing interviews, essentially observing the consultant. Although the people in the office were very nice, most had very large egos and only had dollar signs in their eyes. There was a lot they did not explain and were very secretive about some of the information until myself and another interviewer stopped the shadowing completely to get more in-depth information where the consultant became very defensive. Overall, was not pleased with the interview process and actually asked to leave before the end of the work day.
Why do you think you were chosen to come back for a second interview? 1 Answer
I applied through college or university. The process took 6+ weeks. I interviewed at Detroit Business Consulting (Troy, MI) in March 2013.
Submitted my resume through my college recruitment site, about a week later I got a call saying they would be interviewing soon and asked if I was still interested. I said yes, and about a month later I was called in for an interview later that week. I sat in their reception area filling out a general questionnaire with a few other candidates and there seemed to be more coming and going. The first interview was VERY short, only about 10 minutes, they told me that they would decide later that day who would be coming in for a second interview. I received a call later inviting me for a second interview the following week which I accepted. The second interview consisted of an associate manager taking me to a separate location and talking about the job, the interview process, and the company structure. She informed me that moving up to the associate level she was at takes from 6-18 months and in the period before that the pay would be commission only after which I would receive bonus commission plus a base salary and more of my time would be put into training new hires. I asked a few questions about the turnover, as it occurred to me that a company that promotes this quickly would be growing unbelievably fast without a very high turnover rate. They mostly tried to dodge this question, I'm assuming because it is in fact very high. After that, I met with the office manager for about 10 minutes, and overall most of the interviewing process seemed to be the company selling itself to me, rather than me trying to get the job which struck me as very odd. Ultimately, I was offered later that day and ended up turning it down. There certainly are people who have came out of the door to door sales position and are doing very well, but I felt as though the management was not telling the candidates the whole story.
Why do you want to work here? Answer Question
Had better offers, management seemed a bit shady

Amazon is building out a forest within the three signature spheres at its new campus just north of downtown Seattle, and now the online retail giant is looking to create an "urban treehouse" in the neighborhood with a new office project.
The project team planning Amazon's latest office building — a 17-story structure with 405,000 square feet at 2205 Seventh Ave. — will go in front of a Seattle design review board Tuesday, where a group of local architects, developers, residents and community representatives will weigh in on the proposal. Because of zoning restrictions, the newly proposed building is half the size of some of Amazon's other office buildings in the neighborhood.
Project architect Graphite Design Group refers to the preferred "urban treehouse," plan in project documents. Staircases in the building would be visible from the outside and represent a ladder one might climb to enter a treehouse.
Amazon affiliate Acorn Development in December paid more than $19 million for the site, a half-block along the west side of Seventh Avenue, between Blanchard and Bell streets. The property is home to a former Days Inn, which has been serving as student housing for Cornish College of the Arts, and an office for the city's now-shuttered Pronto bike-sharing program.
The project represents the fifth block of office buildings for Amazon in the neighborhood north of downtown Seattle known as the Denny Triangle. As other neighborhoods around it bursted at the seams with development, Denny Triangle didn't get as much attention, until Amazon planted its flag there.
Today, development is booming in the Denny Triangle as well as the neighboring area of South Lake Union, where Amazon's massive expansion started back in 2007. Nowhere is this trend more obvious than along Denny Way, the street that separates the two neighborhoods.
Amazon's first building in the Denny Triangle — the 36-story Doppler tower — opened in late 2015. That was followed late last year by the opening of the Day One tower, on the same block as the spheres. Construction is underway on the third block across from Day One and the Doppler tower. On another full-block site, formerly home to the Hurricane Cafe, Amazon plans to build a 23-story building and an 8-story structure in the future.
