Everyone can escape career creek. All they need is the right paddle. In 2012 Josh Roberts left university with a head full of dreams and a heart full of hope. The world - and in particular the world of work - was his oyster. He was going to get a brilliant job, enjoy a challenging, purposeful career and get stinking rich in the process. Fast forward a decade, though, and success hasn't been quite so easy. Unless you count six jobs in six years, a string of failed 'side hustles' and having a mental breakdown as 'success'. No, like millions of other young workers, Josh spent his twenties drifting aimlessly through his career before resolving, on the eve of his twenty-eighth birthday, to make a change. Which is what Generation Drift is all about. Told with warmth and wit - and brimming with advice from CEOs, recruiters, psychologists and fellow 'drifters' - it's a hopeful, helpful guide to navigating professional uncertainty and finding fulfilling work. This book will share the tools and signposts you need to look to the future with a positive view. Generation Drift is Josh's optimistic, reassuring and practical guide to navigating professional uncertainty and finding fulfilling work.

With the clock ticking and the danger getting closer and closer to Abby's doorstep, she and her best friend Robby O'Reilly must both decide what they're willing to risk to save everyone they love . . . before an ancient curse from Willow Cove's past sinks its teeth into them all.

In this thesis I examine the potential role of covert contrast (the phenomenon by which a phonological contrast produced by a language learner falls below the threshold of perception of adult speakers of this language) in the development of one child learning the contrast between /ɹ/ and /w/ in English. More specifically, using a longitudinal corpus documenting the development of American English by one child learner, I compare data obtained by impressionistic means of phonetic transcription against acoustic measurements of the same speech tokens. As we will see, the results from both the transcription data and the acoustic measurements mirror one another in ways that undermine the claim that covert contrast represents a necessary stage in acquisition (Scobbie et al. 1996). Additionally, the current study reveals a disparity in the time of acquisition for /ɹ/ in coronal stop-initial onsets vs. all other onset environments which highlights the influence of articulatory factors on the production of /ɹ/ across different phonological contexts. Finally, the acoustic component of the study uncovers what can be termed a 'covert allophone' in the case of /w/ in that same coronal-initial complex onset environment. I conclude this thesis with a discussion of both the theoretical and methodological implications for future research on the development of phonological contrasts by children.
