Instantly share code, notes, and snippets.

##### Challenge Number 1
For this challenge, I created three div boxes that all shared the samed style and all displayed as "inline-block."
I assigned a class to each. I then used float to take the third box to the right of the screen. I then added to
the "margin-left" of the second box until I pushed it to its final position.

Accessibility commitments
Utilize tabindex attribute.
Make parent objects clickable.
Be sure to contrast text and colors for those who are visually impaired.
Only hiring people who are like you leaves with you no diversity of thought.
I think that diversity quotas are necessary in places like tech because of how unbalanced things are in terms of race, sex, gender, etc. I think quotas are definitely misunderstood by most people but are necessary to make change happen.
I think the best strategy in counteracting bias is to be aware of that bias andd have discussions around it. We all have unconscious biases that are unavoidable. It's only when you're aware of your biasees that you can take actionable steps to correct them.
I think that the best thing that Turing can do is to continue to hold open discussions and trainings that are tackling these kinds of issues. I think it is especially important that a space is created where all members of the community can take part in a productive discussion.
I think that PotP does a good job of illustrating how people tend to self-segregate when they are unaware of their own biases. The visual aspects of the game are a nice

Interview Reflection - Final Portfolio
Although I have yet to participate in a mock interview through a Turing mentor, I have participated in a mock white-boarding/interview session during (Mod4) with Robbie Jaegar. This was a great learning experience which I know will come in handy with future interviews.
I also watched the mock interview session with Emily Freeman and Ian Douglas. The largest take-aways that I've taken from both experiences is the fact that 1) I know a lot more than I think and 2) I need to be sure that I'm able to articulate that well to future employers. As I continue to practice for interviews, I realize that I need to continue to refine the story of what brought me into programming in the first place. I'm also going to to continue to practice verbalizing the fundamentals of what I know so that I'm not so nervous when speaking with others - as this is definitely an area where I know I can improve.
## #1: Job Search Plan/Schedule:
1. Design a 40-hour "work week" that provides time for:
Mornings:
* Workout daily - alternating between running and lifting weights
* Be in Denver at 8:45 to work. Code for 3 hours
* Spend no more than 20 mins reviewing new job postings prior to lunch hour
Afternoons:
* Spend 45 mins researching companies found in job postings

Example!

Challenge 5

I used these elements and specified these styles to make this thing happen. I chose to use white text color because you can't see it if it's black. (duh). (When you write this make your actual description more meaningful...)

Practice with array prototypes

Missing Sheep

Consider an array of sheep where some sheep may be missing from their place. We need a function that returns the number of sheep present in the array (true means that this sheep is present).

var sheepArray = [true,  true,  true,  false,
                  true,  true,  true,  true,
                  true,  false, true,  false,
                  true,  false, false, true,
 true, true, true, true,
