Welcome to The Morning Dump, bite-sized stories corralled into a single article for your morning perusal. If your morning coffee’s working a little too well, pull up a throne and have a gander at the best of the rest of yesterday. NHTSA Seeks Information On Tesla Driver Monitoring Systems While advanced driver assistance systems do hold promise for making long journeys easier, humans are bad at monitoring things. Thus, almost paradoxically, it’s a good idea to have an electronic system monitoring how the driver’s monitoring an electronic system....

Candidates will be presented with a business-related scenario, accompanied by a list of related tasks including telephone calls, emails, complaints and reports. It is then up to the individual to prioritise each task in accordance with its perceived importance. In-tray exercises are used by many companies as part of the selection process and they commonly appear as part of the interview stage. The reason that the in-tray exercise is so widely used is that it allows the assessors to observe a candidate’s behaviour during the exercise....

Introduction to Jaguar Land Rover Jaguar Land Rover fuses two icons of British car manufacturing: Jaguar, famed for luxury sports cars Land Rover, the global industry leader within the manufacture of all-wheel-drive vehicles The origins of Jaguar can be traced back as far as 1922 to a company that used to make sidecars for motorcycles, giving the company many decades of experience within the industry....

Earlier today, David explained his plan for transporting his first round of cars to LA from Detroit in an epic roadtrip with Otto and Jason. I am skeptical of this plan for many reasons, but misery is great content so I’m looking forward to reading about it. Plus, I adore Jason and Otto and any time spent with them is worth whatever inevitable hassle they may face. I would not, however, confuse Jason and my Lord-and-Savior, Jesus Christ, which is more than I can say for Man With A Reliable Jeep:...

I’ve seen similar car-brochure dashboard shots like this before, and I’m kind of conflicted about them. On one hand, I kind of like seeing what every damn light on that dashboard is for, but on the other hand I really have to wonder the value of showing you what you’ll see in the unlikely event that your car is struck by lightning. Or maybe if it’s trapped in the tractor beam of an alien spacecraft?...

So what the hell are we looking at here? This unusually grotesque creation is a modern example of a neo-classic car. Think Excalibur, late Elvis, Swarovski crystals; a once-wretched, now ironic depiction of opulence. Driving a neo-classic lets the world know that you know that it knows that all that glitters is bullshit. You’re in on the joke and it’s bringing down the house. As for this particular neoclassic car, it’s a Zimmer Golden Spirit....

This is just one reason to consider hiring long distance movers. Here are several more signs that you should avoid moving on your own. Moving Isn’t Worth Throwing out Your Back If you have back problems or are prone to back injuries, you should strongly consider using a moving company. Saving money on your move isn’t worth the back pain. Bending over isn’t the only thing you have to worry about....

Are you on the same page? Exactly, here it is a masterpiece in form of the success, achieving the goals, achievements, dreams, true on expectations and winning.

Navigating career choices and course websites can be confusing. There are often multiple route options and several terms for the same thing. Working out the difference between MEng and MSc is one such area. Both are degrees that are key to working in the engineering world. They both offer a similar result, in terms of leading to a master’s qualification, but each takes a slightly different approach. Much of the decision-making process regarding which degree to choose will come down to your personal circumstances and where you see yourself in the future....

You may have heard it mentioned by its nickname – ‘The Big Five Personality Test’ – as it examines five disparate areas of personality to get an accurate measurement of character. Since its initial inception in the world of academic psychology back in the 1970s, the NEO-PI test has emerged as a pre- and post-employment diagnostic tool to help maximize the productivity of a given workforce. They were able to test a range of people using these three personality traits and created the Neuroticism-Extraversion-Openness Inventory (or NEO-I for short)....

I realized I needed to speak up about this – and I don’t think this is hyperbole – grave threat to the very human condition – because it’s somehow infected the new Cadillac Lyriq, and is now showing up on videos about the car, like this one done by none other than our pal Doug DeMuro: I have to hand it to Doug for maintaining his composure here; I can only imagine moments after this video was shot he was behind a tree, sobbing and vomiting and shaking all over, while one of Doug’s many handlers surrounded him, covering him with medicated salves and telling him that somehow everything will be fine....

The Tweet comes courtesy of the nice folks at the Canal & River Trust West Midlands, who are responsible for maintaining the network of canals that weave through this part of England. As they explain on their website: Wow! Depending on how you measure it, Birmingham alone has more canals than Venice. If you’d have asked me how deep these were I’d have guessed about six-to-eight feet and I’d have been wrong by about half....

While the full version of PCCM may sound like a business seminar, it’s actually a line of infotainment systems that’s been around for a minute. Previously, these factory-looking upgrades added some very modern flourishes to various classic P-cars. Now, these new head units will also bolt right up to your 2005 to 2008 911, 2005 to 2008 Boxster, or 2003 to 2008 Cayenne and look properly OEM.

It’s difficult to imagine a better place to learn the ropes than a Big Four company like PwC, working with some of the biggest clients around the world in a fast-paced, dynamic environment. Why PwC Instead of One of the Other Big Four Firms? One immediate answer is: its clients. Do a Google search to find out who some of its major clients are. Do they appeal to you? Would you like the chance to work with clients like them?...

Leaders who have referent power are well-liked, respected and trusted, with the right personal qualities to be seen as a role model and someone to look up to. Referent power is a leadership type that was first acknowledged by John French and Bertram Raven in 1959. In their research, they identified five bases of social power. These are different ways leaders can get compliance from subordinates. The five bases or types include:...

But the reason it’s still around is that, when done in the right way, it can help foster cohesion among employees, increase output and create a harmonious working environment. Team building has come a long way since the days of office blindfold games, and there are now entire companies and event coordinators dedicated to creating team building days that people actually enjoy. Some corporations take their departments on full-day activities or even vacations, spending a weekend at a lakeside lodge or a hired beach-front venue with organized activities and group mealtimes....

Right now, our David is slowly making his way across the country. With the help of Jason and the awesome Otto, he’s planting his stakes in California. But just getting out of Detroit appears to be a monumental effort. Our dear leader is a man who uses a truck bed as a refrigerator, eats spaghetti in the shower, and peppers his yard with tools and car parts. It’s through him that I recently learned that an impact will still work even after you’ve left it just sitting in some wet grass for who knows how long....
