What does The Muppets, Team Beachbody, and P90X have in common. Well, give me a few minutes of your time, read on and I'll explain.
So today is the release of "The Muppets". A movie I have been waiting to see for a while and the reviews have been really, really good. I went to youtube to watch some old Muppet clips because according to one critic, Linda Holmes, the movie reminds the viewer of the Dreamer in everyone that Jim Henson instilled in us as kids through the Muppets and Sesame St.
I watched the ending of The Muppet Movie from 1979 on YouTube and Kermit starts to sing "Life is like a movie, write your own ending. Keep believing, keep pretending." And because I watched this clip, I stumbled upon two others that I really thought shared and inspired our mission as Team Beachbody /P90X Coaches. (I know you maybe rolling your eyes and think I'm corny but it's the truth.)
In the memorial clip below to Jim Henson, Muppet creator, Robin (Kermit's nephew) starts to sing a song about how one person's belief in someone else can help them to believe in them self and soon one becomes two, two becomes three, three becomes four and so on and so on.
We have the gift to inspire and help others. I sincerely with all my heart mean this, I am thankful and grateful for every single coach on our team. I believe in all of you. I believe you are meant to do great things in this world. I believe that if we believe in others, one will become two, and two will become three. We have been given a gift to share with the world. To help empower others to see themselves better than they are. To believe that together, we are better and it starts with one person believing in someone else. Thank you everyone and I wish you and your families a great Thanksgiving.
Jim Henson's Muppeteers sing "Just One Person" at his memorial service.

"Just One Person" Lyrics:
If just one person believes in you,
Deep enough, and strong enough, believes in you…
Hard enough, and long enough,
It stands to reason, that someone else will think
"If he can do it, I can do it."
Making it: two whole people, who believe in you
Deep enough, and strong enough,
Believe in you.
Hard enough and long enough
There's bound to be some other person who
Believes in making it a threesome,
Making it three…..
People you can say: believe in me…..
And if three whole people,
Why not — four?
And if four whole people,
Why not–more, and
more, and
And when all those people,
Believe in you,
Deep enough, and strong enough,
Believe in you…
Hard enough, and long enough
It stands to reason that you yourself will
Start to see what everybody sees in
And maybe even you,
Can believe in you… too!

The MET sails through the history of fashion, giving us back an exhibition suspended between today and tomorrow, through yesterday.
Since 2005, PREMIUM has been involved in promoting the new generation of brands, partly by offering them more favorable conditions for exhibition stands, or through its communications aimed at retailers. Among the young brands exhibiting during the PREMIUM season names four promising young designers as PREMIUM Young Talents.
First, they receive a high-level introduction to international buyers, as well as a free stand at PREMIUM. Then, they have the opportunity to strengthen their reputation and their reputation among consumers through a showcase in Galeries Lafayette, the perfect opportunity to promote sales.
In addition, the winners are strongly promoted in communications and supported in all areas - in the first phase at B2B level and later with a focus on B2C.
For this season Spring Summer 2019 the 4 brands chosen are:
"Luxurious defamiliarization" is how Hyun-min Han describes the philosophy of his brand. Since 2013, MÜNN collections have stood out for their minimalist design appeal, unexpected details, and clean lines.
Hwansung Park has created a K-pop label that melds the style codes of two different metropoles: London and Seoul. The result: unisex streetwear that breaks down the boundary between luxury and fast fashion.
Launched in 2011 in designer Mooyeol Lee's hometown of Seoul, the high-end streetwear collections of Youser are inspired by subcultures, music and art.
The Berlin-based brand from Lydia Maurer celebrates the female body in all its forms, beyond the stereotypical off-the-rack sizes. Her swimwear is not only pleasing to the eye, but also adjustable to the body of every wearer.

When you build a form with Cake and have any sort of validation, it would be nice to have a means for the displayed error message to distinguish itself from the rest of the text (in my particular case, making the text red). Unfortunately, Cake doesn't seem to have anything built in to easily do this. After playing around with my Cake site for a bit, and doing some extensive Google searching for a simple solution (and coming up lacking), I realized something basic that would do the trick: setting the font color style for <form> (or any enclosing element around <form>) to be the color of my error message, and setting the color for the elements within the form to be the regular text color.
This is working well enough for me for the css:
color: #ff0000;
color: #000;
This only works for displaying error messages though (or rather, for displaying a single message color). If you need a second color, you can probably set a session in your controller to represent a css style, which your view can use to determine which style should get used. But then again, probably the only reason you'd want another color is for success messages, and those are mostly useful if you're using Ajax, in which case you've got better means of message styling then the one I've posted here anyhow.

Ex-deputy sheriff dies in Afghanistan suicide car bombing
ATLANTA (AP) — Local officials say a former deputy sheriff from Georgia was among the victims of a suicide car bombing in Afghanistan.
Local media reports, citing the Floyd County Sheriff's Office, identified the victim as Barry Sutton, a contractor for DynCorp International who was killed Saturday. He was helping train Afghan law enforcement as part of NATO's Resolute Support Mission.
A suicide bomber attacked a NATO convoy traveling through a crowded Kabul neighborhood, killing at least 12 people, including Sutton, and two other American civilian contractors. Some 66 people were wounded.
Sutton, a former senior deputy, worked for the sheriff's office from 2009 through 2011. He was a Floyd County police officer for more than 13 years.

An employee of Summer Island Resort, who was gravely injured in an accident that occurred between the resort's speedboat and a supply boat last May, passed away early Thursday while being treated in India.
Ali Waseem, 30, of Addu atoll Meedhoo island was a waiter at Summer Island. He was one of 14 people who were injured when the speedboat, travelling from the resort to capital Male, crashed into a supply boat near One & Only Reethi Rah resort in Kaafu atoll.
The injured 14 were all from the speedboat. They were first treated at privately run ADK Hospital in Male. Waseem, who had received a serious head injury, had undergone surgery, after which his condition had greatly improved.
He was taken to India for further treatment towards the end of last June.
Police had arrested the captain of the supply boat along with its crew shortly after the accident. According to Maldives National Defence Force (MNDF), the boat did not have its navigation lights on and, thus, the captain of the speedboat had not seen the boat in time, resulting in the collision.

Theme – Transforming Lives Stories
On Its 50th Anniversary, Special Olympics Returns to Chicago Roots
The 50th anniversary of the Special Olympics returns to where it all started—Chicago.
To commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Special Olympics, which highlights the exceptional talents of individuals with intellectual disabilities, Chicago will host a series of events and honors from July 17 to July 21 including the lighting of the Eternal Flame of Hope Monument, first-ever Special Olympics Unified Cup presented by Toyota, and the Global Day of Inclusion & Concert.
Athletes with and without intellectual disabilities from around the globe will compete at Toyota Park in Chicago during the Special Olympics Unified Cup. A total of 24 teams, male and female, with athletes from countries like Kenya, China, Korea, Mexico and Uruguay and more, will compete in the football (soccer) tournament.
This year, ESPN will broadcast final matches live on ESPN2. The tournament is a step toward more unified competitions, said Dave Breen, President and CEO of Special Olympics Illinois, adding that this year's competitions and festivities give Illinois and Chicago a chance to show off their cultural and social highlights.
"We're trying to create a world of inclusion and acceptance," Breen said. "We're really excited about showing the abilities of these athletes coming together with athletes without disabilities to play. It truly is like our World Cup."
Runners with and without intellectual disabilities will carry the Flame of Hope torch during the four-mile LETR Commemorative Run in downtown Chicago on July 20. The commemorative torch run, led by law enforcement officers and Special Olympic athletes, will conclude with the ceremonial lighting of the Eternal Flame of Hope Monument, a 30-foot monument honoring the Special Olympics designed by Chicago-born artist Richard Hunt.
"There are 110,000 [Special Olympics] competitions that go on around the world on an annual basis, so it never stops. It never sleeps. The eternal flame symbolizes that," Breen said. "The courage, the dedication, and the sportsmanship of the athletes—that's always burning inside of them."
The first Special Olympics took place at Soldier Field in 1968, a pivotal year in American history. This year at Soldier Field, Special Olympics athletes, along with their friends and families, will celebrate the Global Day of Inclusion & Concert, which calls upon cities to become more inclusive.
"We're hoping that people will come out during the week and the weekend and get involved with some remarkable individuals that will really impact their lives [in] the future," Breen said.

Comcast Transforming Lives
From PyeongChang to Seattle with Comcast
Twenty-eighteen is an exciting year for elite athletes! We enjoyed the XXIII Olympic Winter Games in February and the PeyongChang 2018 Paralympics in March, and this summer, it will be time for our Special Olympics athletes to shine at the 2018 USA Games in Seattle, Washington!
To celebrate the courage and tenacity of ALL athletes, and the excitement of elite competition, Comcast held a celebration at their STUDIO Xfinity facility in Chicago during the Olympic Winter Games. Comcast is the parent company of NBCUniversal, the official U.S. broadcast partner of the Olympics through 2032.
While watching ski and snowboard competition on giant screens in high definition, guests enjoyed a cross-cultural buffet of Korean and American delicacies. Three incredible athletes were in attendance: Emily Brydon, a retired Olympic downhill skier from Canada, Tucker Dupree, a Paralympics swimming champion from the United States, and our very own, Ashley Jones, part of the 2018 Team Illinois gymnastics team. Debra Marton, Senior Manager of Community Investment at Comcast who helped bring everyone together offered, "What a beautiful group of people that came out to celebrate the Olympics with us! Ashley Jones is a sweetheart and I can see why she was chosen as one of the Team Illinois Athletes."
After a warm welcome from Matt Summy, Vice President of External & Government Affairs at Comcast, the audience listened intently to highlights for Special Olympics Illinois in 2018, and then learned about Ashley's story through a short film. After a round of applause and high-fives for Ashley and Jones family, Matt announced that Comcast would donate $5,000 to Special Olympics Illinois to underwrite the costs of ceremonial uniforms for Team Illinois.
Held just once every four years, the USA Games offer a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for our athletes to travel the country and compete at the highest levels in their sport as part of the Illinois delegation. In Seattle, Team Illinois will also enjoy the pageantry of opening and closing ceremonies, meet professional athletes from their favorite sports, and experience a very special Fourth of July celebration at the University of Washington's Husky Stadium. Team Illinois for 2018 includes fifty-two athletes, competing in eight sports: athletics, basketball, bocce, bowling, artistic gymnastics, swimming, powerlifting and tennis.
We have high expectations for these fierce competitors, and know they will represent Illinois proudly. Now, thanks to our friends at Comcast, they will look every bit like the champions they are!
If your organization is interested in learning more about USA Games and Team Illinois, and helping our athletes get to Seattle, contact Michelle Weiner, Director of Strategic Development at 312-972-5616 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

#PLUNGEWITH Ruth Guenzler
Ruth Guenzler, Mother of Special Olympics Illinois Athlete Erika Guenzler plunges into freezing cold water to support the program. Ruth has been participating in the Law Enforcement Torch Run Polar Plunge for 10 years. She has specifically plunged at the Olson Lake Plunge in Loves Park. Ruth has plunged in 20-degree weather with snow on the ground and in 60-degree weather, where the sun is shining. For Ruth, the hardest part of the whole plunge is waiting to jump in.
Year to year Ruth spices it up with different costumes. From Cruella de Vil to a tie-dye morph suite, her ideas are never short of imaginative. Her key to a perfect costume is, "think warm, wigs help!" Every year Ruth's friends, family, and daughter Erika support Ruth by cheering her on while she plunges. They are ready and waiting with warm towels for her when she coming running out of the water. "Even though you are so freezing you cannot feel your limbs, there is something so invigorating about plunging. The atmosphere and the people make the experience that much better," said Ruth.
Year to year, Ruth's has consistently met and exceeded her $1,000 fundraising goal! As a mom of an Athlete, Ruth feels empowered by the generosity of those who support her in her plunge. "I am overwhelmed with joy by the generosity of others."
Taking the Plunge to benefit Special Olympics Illinois is just one of the many ways Ruth supports her daughter Erika. Ruth's advice to future plungers: "Go with a group, make a day out of it, and have fun!"
About the LETR Polar Plunge: This is the 19th year of the LETR Polar Plunge. In 19 years, more than 66,000 plungers have raised more than $18.4 million. GEICO, RIU Hotels & Resorts, and Apple Vacations are proud to be the Statewide Presenting Polar Plunge Sponsors.

More on Setting up etcd with Kubeadm29 Oct 2018 · Filed in Education
A while ago I wrote about using
kubeadm to bootstrap an etcd cluster with TLS. In that post, I talked about one way to establish a secure etcd cluster using
kubeadm and running etcd as systemd units. In this post, I want to focus on a slightly different approach: running etcd as static pods. The information on this post is intended to build upon the information already available in the Kubernetes official documentation, not serve as a replacement.
For reference, the Kubernetes official documentation has a write-up on using
kubeadm to establish an etcd cluster with etcd running as static pods. For Kubernetes 1.12.x (the current version as of this writing), that information is here; for Kubernetes 1.11.x, that same information is here.
When using these instructions for use with Kubernetes 1.11.x, the official guide leaves something out that is very important: reconfiguring the kubelet to operate in a standalone fashion (without the Kubernetes control plane). This information is present in the 1.12.x documentation, but it applies to both versions.
Now, lest you think you can just follow the 1.12.x documentation for a 1.11.x cluster, you need to know that the
kubeadm API changed from 1.11.x (where it is v1alpha2) to 1.12.x (where it is v1alpha3), and this means a number of changes elsewhere as well. This means that the
kubeadm config files in the 1.12.x guide won't work for 1.11.x. Additionally, I found that the 1.12.x guide leaves out one additional piece of information that might be necessary in order to get a working kubelet.
The extra step that is needed for 1.11.x (but that is included in the 1.12.x version of the documentation) is to provide an additional systemd drop-in file that configures the kubelet as a standalone kubelet. What the 1.12.x instructions are potentially missing—depending on your Linux distribution and/or the configuration of the Docker container runtime—is matching the kubelet's cgroup driver to the runtime's cgroup driver. If these two are mismatched, the kubelet will fail to start.
In my testing on Ubuntu 16.04 images prepared using Wardroom, the Docker container runtime was using the systemd cgroup driver. The kubelet, however, was not, and this caused the kubelet to fail even after adding the drop-in from the 1.12.x documentation.
If this affects you, you can amend the 1.12.x systemd drop-in to add a
--cgroup-driver=systemd flag, so that the complete drop-in now looks like this:
ExecStart=/usr/bin/kubelet --address=127.0.0.1 --pod-manifest-path=/etc/kubernetes/manifests --allow-privileged=true --cgroup-driver=systemd
Put this file in
/etc/systemd/system/kubelet.service.d with a higher priority than any other drop-ins found there. I found that, per the 1.12.x instructions, using the filename
20-etcd-service-manager.conf was sufficient. Once this file is in place, then doing a
systemctl daemon-reload and
systemctl restart kubelet should be enough to get a running kubelet that can run etcd as a static pod.
The official docs—for both 1.11.x and 1.12.x—also assume that you'll run all the
kubeadm alpha phase commands from one specific host, then copy files around to the other hosts as appropriate. This will work, but if you do it this way the certificates generated by
kubeadm will have an extra hostname attached to them: the hostname from the system generating the certificates. To avoid having this extra hostname attached to the certificates generated by
kubeadm, you'll need to instead copy the
kubeadm configuration files to each node, then run the
kubeadm alpha phase commands on each node. This also means that you'll need to copy both the
ca.crt and the
ca.key generated on the first node to the second and third nodes. The instructions only say to copy the
ca.crt file, but this is because it isn't needed on the other nodes when you're generating all the certificates on one node.
Aside from these two (very) minor issues, the procedures in the official docs will get you a working etcd cluster, properly secured with TLS certificates, and running as static pods under the kubelet (instead of as systemd units). Between the official docs plus these notes (which I'll see about getting merged into the official docs) or my earlier article about running etcd as systemd units, you now have a couple of different approaches to setting up a properly-secured etcd cluster that can back your Kubernetes infrastructure.
Feel free to hit me up on Twitter if you have any questions, or if you feel I've made a mistake or misrepresented anything. Thanks!
UPDATE 2020-01-31: As of the Kubernetes 1.13 release,
kubeadm alpha phase was replaced by
kubeadm init phase, so be sure to adjust the commands above accordingly.

"Democracy does not necessarily result from majority rule, but rather from the forged compromise of the majority with the minority.
The philosophy of the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights is not simply to grant the majority the power to rule, but is also to set out limitation after limitation upon that power. Freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of religion; what are these but the recognition that at times when the majority of men would willingly destroy him, a dissenting man may have no friend but the law."

Evan Ross Casted in "Wicked City"
Evan Ross is headed to the small screen for a new drama titled Wicked City.
Centering around a murder from 1982, the show follows policemen, drug dealers and reporters who are attempting to put the case to bed.
The 26-year-old will portray a character named Diver Hawkes, the owner of a paparazzi agency that specializes in photographing horrid crime scenes. According to detectives of the investigation, he's creating more harm than help.
Another actor originally played the role for the pilot episode, but Ross was able to permanently snag the part for ABC's upcoming fall line up.
Now, the thespian is joining his sister Tracee Ellis Ross, whose record-breaking show black-ish also airs on the network.
Catch Ross on Wicked City when it debuts Oct. 27 at 10 p.m.

We know that losing weight isn't an easy feat. It requires a ton of motivation, willpower, and support, and at the end of the day, shedding pounds isn't just about the number on the scale. It's about overhauling your lifestyle and making positive, permanent changes. That's where weight loss apps come in.
Weight loss apps can connect you with dietitians, doctors, and trainers to help you navigate everything from what to buy at the grocery store to choosing a healthy dish at a restaurant. They can also be a great source of motivation, providing support through active online communities. And if you need some help on the fitness front, the best weight loss apps are equipped with on-demand workouts from top trainers that you can do right at home. Best of all, they connect to smart watches and wearables, like an Apple Watch or Fitbit, so you can keep track of your progress and make informed health decisions—everywhere and at any moment.
To help you make the most worthwhile downloads, we tapped some of the top dietitians and personal trainers for the best weight loss apps out there.
Best Overall: MyFitnessPal
4.7 out of 5 stars
Free with in-app purchases, iOS and Android
This top-rated weight loss app pairs your workouts with a nutrition plan because we all know that you can't truly lose weight without one or the other. Built with a food database of more than six million foods, a barcode scanner, food log, and 300+ cardio and strength workouts, you get a 360-degree picture of your overall health. Plus, you can connect with the online community for motivation, support, and tips. What's more, it's compatible with Fitbit, Jawbone, Runkeeper, MapMyFitness, Strava, and the Health app on an iPhone.
An iTunes reviewer says, "I spend maybe five minutes a day total logging my food intake. I like that it includes nutrition breakdowns, so I can pinpoint when I'm lacking iron, calcium, etc. in my overall diet."
Best Diet App: Weight Watchers
4.8 out of 5 stars
Free with in-app purchases, iOS and Android
There's a reason people tout weight loss benefits from the program, and this app lets you in on the secrets without needing to attend in-person meetings. You can track your food and fitness progress as well as chat with others in the community for motivation and support, says Rebecca Gahan, CPT and owner of Kick@55 Fitness in Chicago. You can also sync it to any smart watches or devices to convert daily steps into points.
An iTunes reviewer raves, "With the ability to walk into a grocery store, scan a barcode and instantly know the points value of a food, I can shop healthy and proactively without fear. I can also pair my activity tracker so I know the value of each activity I complete."
Best Weight Loss App With Coaching: Noom
4.6 out of 5 stars
Free with in-app purchases, iOS and Android
With Noom, there's a weight loss coach by your side throughout your journey. Using psychology-based approaches, the app reveals your weight loss obstacles and provides tips for making better adjustments, making it a terrific tool for personalized attention. What's more, if you have medical conditions, like diabetes or heart disease, the app tailors its program accordingly.
An iTunes reviewer says, "This app is helping me change small habits one day at a time and it's doing more for my brain than my body right now. I am moving more and making better food choices. I have not lost much weight yet, but my mind is definitely changing, and I truly believe that weight loss and a healthy body is in my near future."
Best Healthy Cooking App: Fooducate
4.7 out of 5 stars
Free with in-app purchases, iOS and Android
It's pretty difficult to drop the pounds if you're unsure of what "healthy" really means. That's why Fooducate is a great app for educating users on what makes a nutrition label high or poor quality so that they can keep the right types of foods in their pantry and fridge. Scan the label to see a list of ingredients in the product and its health grade to compare to other options. Beyond food, you can also track sleep, mood, and fitness.
An iTunes reviewer writes, "Fooducate helps me be more aware of every bite I put into my mouth because I know I will have to enter it into the app. I like that it also helps me understand more about the quality of ingredients and nutrients I'm consuming."
Best Dining Out App: HowUDish
4.5 out of 5 stars
Free with in-app purchases, iOS
The HowUDish app can help you find healthy food picks at local eateries, so you can always meet your weight loss goals, no matter where you decide to dine, explains Summer Yule, MS, RDN. "They have low-calorie and low-carb options as well as information on fiber and protein content. (They can also filter by other types of diets, such as vegetarian.)," she says. You can also rate your dish and the restaurant and share your thoughts with the online community. It's convenient if you're traveling and want to stick to a healthy eating routine.
One iTunes reviewer says, "This app has pretty much everything you could want in an app that helps you manage your diet. It's ridiculously easy to use and focuses on the type of diet you have selected without excluding other options completely."
Best Nutrition App: Healthie
4.7 out of 5 stars
Free on iOS and Android
Healthie is the perfect tool for virtual communication over video or phone to speak to a dietitian when you don't have time to meet in person. You'll also have a better recall of meal details, as you can see what you're eating through photos, as opposed to a written food journal, says Brooke Zigler, MPP, RDN, LD.
"I am able to give immediate photo food journal feedback to clients instead of waiting two to three weeks in between appointments to go over a written food journal," Zigler says. Together, you'll be able to see the exact portions and ingredients in each meal.
It also connects you with lactation consultants, massage therapists, naturopaths, chiropractors, and personal trainers. Plus, you can sync the app up with your FitBit and the iHealth app on Apple phones.
Best Workout App With Variety: All / Out Studio

Choose from yoga and meditation to dance cardio, barre, and strength training. The best part is you can tailor these workouts to your fitness and weight loss goals. No equipment? No problem. The app has plenty of great bodyweight workouts that don't require any dumbbells or resistance bands. You'll see some familiar faces on the app too, including Prevention's Larysa DiDio and Betina Gozo.

Plus, there are four- to six-week plans led by Nike Master Trainers for building more muscle and getting lean.
One iTunes reviewer raves, "Love the workouts. Great variety, interface—it has everything you need to get or stay in shape. The content is absolutely fantastic. I haven't found a better workout app!"
Best Celebrity Fitness App: Jillian Michaels App
4.7 out of 5 stars
Free with in-app purchase, iOS and Android
Celebrity trainer Jillian Michaels is no stranger to helping people lose weight. She was a trainer on The Biggest Loser and has countless fitness DVDs that have helped thousands turn their life around. Now, you can train with Michaels one-on-one with her app, which has customized daily workouts based on your fitness level and goals. Each workout includes a video with Michaels demoing how to do every move properly. What's more, Michaels's app comes with meal plans designed by professional chefs and dietitians, so you can trust that the food tastes just as good as it is for you. While Michaels has been vocal about her disdain for the keto diet, her app includes plans for vegans and Paleo diet followers.
An iTunes reviewer says, "I just completed the 30-day beginner program with Jillian's app and can say that I lost about 15 pounds after a month of doing it. The workouts are mixed and always leave me sweating but not feeling discouraged. I love that at the end of each workout, you can say whether it was easy, hard, or perfect so the app adjusts to your next workout."
Best Fitness Tracking App: Fitbit
4.2 out of 5 stars
Free with in-app purchases, iOS and Android
While hitting 10,000 steps daily is a great goal, Fitbit knows that it takes more than that to lose weight and change your lifestyle. That's why their app allows you to track your daily activity, sleep, calorie burn, weight, hydration levels, and food intake. For example, your all-day activity doesn't just count your steps but your resting heart rate—the lower the number, the fitter you are—the number of miles you've walked or ran, and the calories you burned during active minutes.
In terms of diet, it helps you keep your calorie intake in check by logging your food with the barcode scanner and providing calorie estimates for certain foods and dishes. And for every goal or major milestone you hit, the app sends you a motivational badge to keep moving towards the right direction.
Best Fitness Traveling App: Aaptiv

Get unlimited classes for $14.99 per month and a 100 percent money-back guarantee for annual plans within 30 days.
An iTunes reviewer says, "Like many reviewers, I've been looking for something like Aaptiv forever. I'm not a fan of gyms, videos, or on-demand workouts. I find them distracting. Aaptiv is like having a trainer on call. So far I've used them for spinning and outdoor running. They push you while also being supportive. In addition, the music is great. I'm seriously smitten with this."

News in Brief
Teachers Paid Significantly Less Than Comparable Professionals, Study Finds
The wage gap between teachers and comparable professionals has grown over time, with teachers now earning 18.7 percent less than other college-educated workers, according to a new analysis.
The paper published by the Economic Policy Institute found that the "teacher-wage penalty" has increased significantly—teachers earned just 1.8 percent less than comparable workers in 1994. And although teachers do receive better benefits packages than their peers who were also college-educated, those benefits only mitigate part of the gap: Including benefits, teachers face an 11 percent compensation penalty.
Low pay was a major factor driving the widescale teacher strikes and protests in Arizona, Colorado, Kentucky, North Carolina, Oklahoma, and West Virginia last spring. Four of those states had the largest wage penalties in the country: Arizona had a 36.4 percent wage gap, North Carolina's gap stood at 35.5 percent, Oklahoma's at 35.4 percent, and Colorado's at 35.1 percent.
Overall, teachers' weekly wages lag by more than 25 percent compared with similarly educated professionals in 16 states. There are no states where teacher pay is equal to or better than that of other college graduates.

Evaluation of Processing Methods on the Feeding Value of Grass Pea to Broilers
D. Tadelle
Y. Alemu
D. Nigusie
K. J. Peters
Grass pea is a widely available grain legume that contains a neurotoxin ODAP that has negative effects in humans and animals. Various treatment methods were tested to select methods that are more effective. Socking and cooking at 60, 75, 90
C and boiling temperatures were found to be relatively effective. Diets containing grass pea prepared using these methods along with diets that contained untreated grass pea and a control that did not contain any grass pea were tested in a broiler trial. Grass pea was included by replacing Noug (
Guizotia abyssinica
) cake. Four hundred twenty unsexed one day old Cobb broiler chicks of similar body weight were divided into seven groups of 60 and further randomly sub-divided into three replicates of 20 chicks and placed in the experimental pens were used. The study showed that total replacement of Noug cake by boiled grass pea is possible without significantly reducing performance (gain and feed efficiency). Cooking at 90
C can also be considered pending economic evaluation since it was also similar results to the control diet (p>0.05) in terms of feed efficiency. Performance of broilers on the rations containing grass pea treated using the other methods seem to have depressed performance too much. Comparison of performance during the starter and finisher phases indicates that most of the depressing effects seem to have occurred during the starter phase. There was no visible sign of lathyrism in any of the treatment groups in this study. It is suggested that further economic analysis of using the methods be conducted. Further work on the possibility of using grass pea only during the finisher phase following the apparent reduction of the negative impacts of feeding grass pea at this stage observed in this study is also proposed.
Indigenous Chicken Ecotypes in Ethiopia: Growth and Feed Utilization Potentials
D. Tadelle
C. Kijora
K. J. Peters
Growth performances and feed utilization potentials of six chicken populations were investigated at Debre Zeit Agricultural Research Centre, Ethiopia. Five local ecotypes originated from different Agro-ecologies and corresponding market sheds in Ethiopia, namely,
Tilili, Horro,
, Jarso, Tepi,
and the Fayoumi breed was used as a reference breed. Ecotype had a significant (p<0.01) effect on overall body weight gain per bird and mean body weight gain per bird per day from day old to 12 weeks of age. The highest body weight gain per bird was recorded for Fayoumi chicks. The Fayoumi chicks were 11.9, 97.7 and 49.4% heavier than chicks from
(heaviest locals at this age) ecotype,
(least total body weight gain among the locals at this age) ecotype and mean daily gain of all local ecotypes, respectively at six weeks of age.
chicks ecotypes showed 76.8% positive deviation over chicks from
market sheds in terms of total body weight gain per bird at this age. The Fayoumi chicks consumed 41, 115 and 65% more feed than chicks from
ecotype (highest body weight gain and feed intake among locals at this age),
ecotype (lowest body weight gain and least feed intake among the locals at this age) and the mean feed intake of all local ecotypes, at six weeks of age, respectively. Among the local ecotypes,
had the smaller body weight gains while
had larger weight gains. The result from the analysis of variance showed a highly significant (p<0.001) difference on body weight gain per bird, average body weight gain per bird per day, feed intake per bird, average feed intake per bird per day and feed conversion ratio (feed: gain) among the different ecotypes and sex from six to 12 weeks of age. The highest body weight gain per bird and mean daily body weight gain per bird per day among the locals were recorded for
growers. The Fayoumi chicks were 28, 77 and 52% heavier than chicks from
ecotypes (heaviest locals at this age),
ecotypes (least total body weight gain among the locals at this age) and mean body weight gain of local birds, respectively. Male growers from
ecotype (heaviest locals at this age),
ecotype (least total body weight gain among the locals at this age) and mean body weight gain of local birds, were 22, 30 and 33% heavier in body weight gain per bird over female chicken at twelve weeks of age, respectively. Feed conversion ratio was also significantly (p<0.01) affected by ecotypes. The highest feed requirement per unit gain was recorded for the Fayoumi chicks followed by chicks from
chicks and the lowest feed requirement per units of gain was recorded for
chicks with feed conversion ratio of 4.95g and 5.2g feed per unit of gain, respectively.

Tattoos have been around for more than 5,000 years. Egyptians, for example, used tattoos to differentiate between peasants and slaves, a kind of social branding. But ink art, which is what some fans like to call tattooing, has really exploded in the past 25 years. But not all of us have succumbed to this fad. And many of us who don't have a tattoo have a favorite mug. Having a tattoo or becoming attached to a mug are not dissimilar. According to research, 60% of Americans say they have an emotional attachment to a favorite mug. And about 40% said their special mug was irreplaceable, and about 1/3 of those said they would be devastated if it broke. Personally, I think that most of these people don't have tattoos. Mugs and tattoos are both an extension of our personalities, and both express the way we would like the world to perceive us. That is not to mention, of course, that those of us who have tattoos or mugs are often irrationally attached to them.
To think outside the box is an idiom or a cliché, depending on how overused it is in your particular world. If you consider it overused, you can disdainfully call it a cliché. The expression means non-traditional, non-conventional, innovative or looking at something from a…
By Hans Christian Anderson (1805 – 1875) Story first published in Copenhagen, Denmark, 1835 I chose to summarize fairy tale for no particular reason other than it is one of the few from my childhood book that still has an illustration. But it is…
I was born near the end of WWII and raised in a small town in New Jersey, just a little more than a 30-minute drive from NYC. It was a wonderful place to be brought up, feeding ducks and canoeing on the river that meandered through the town in the summer, and ice-skating on that same river in the winter.
My two brothers and I were privileged to be raised in a lovely town that was safe to explore on foot, but close enough to NYC to be taken there on day trips to see the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Baily B & B circus, museums, Chinatown, street fairs in the spring and Broadway shows as we grew older. But we thought nothing of it.
Later as teens, we would go into NYC to buy a couple of beers (the drinking age in New York State was 18, and 21 in New Jersey) and hang out in Greenwich Village where we saw singers such as Bob Dylan who were on the first rung of the ladder on their way to fame.
The sixties were a time of speaking out and creating change. I decided to do my part by joining the Peace Corps, an innovative cold war program established by John F. Kennedy in 1961. I arrived in Brazil at the end of 1966, and after an adaptation period, was sent to serve in Porto Nacional, in what was Goias at that time. I can't say I changed the course of the country, especially as I was immediately called upon to teach English in the local high school.
I have been teaching ever since; high schools, college literature, college language pedagogy, financial English and everything in-between. I married a wonderful Brazilian from Rio and we had 3 boys and moved around some, as he was an engineer who worked on hydro dams. Nowadays I am a widow and live in BH with 3 cats, one of which has extraordinary powers, and I have 4 wonderful and uniquely different grandchildren nearby. Thus far, I have had an interesting life, and this new endeavor called a blog should make it even more interesting.
FYI is an acronym, and an acronym is a word formed by combining the first letters of each word of a name, such as NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) that is frequently seen in the news. Another one you probably know is AIDS, which is an acronym for Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. Sometimes acronyms are pronounced as a word as in NATO and AIDS, and sometimes the letters are pronounced individually, such as FYI (for your information). And most of the time they are not even pronounced, as they are used mostly in social media, business communication and Internet. But we do hear CNN (Cable News Network) reporters saying ASAP frequently, which means As Soon As Possible and is hard to pronounce.
Sometimes acronyms become words, such as the word scuba. Everybody knows that word, but few know it started out as an acronym for Self-Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus.
Another acronym that became a word is laser, which began as the acronym Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. Most of us are very pleased that these two words became acronyms.
For now, try to incorporate FYI and ASAP into your daily communications, and don't spend too much time remembering what AIDS and LASER and SCUBA really mean. But you should be able to recognize NATO as it has become a big issue in North America and Europe.
Here are six business acronyms that you should know if you are a businessperson, and maybe aspire to if you are in middle management. Which one would be the lowest stress and the highest salary?

Hold up! Before you read on, please read this...
This post was published more than 15 years ago
I keep old posts on the site because I often enjoy reading old content on other people's sites. It can be interesting to see how views have changed over time: for example, how my strident teenage views have, to put it mildly, mellowed.
I'm not a believer in brushing the past under the carpet. I've written some offensive rubbish on here in the past: deleting it and pretending it never happened doesn't change that. I hope that stumbling across something that's 15 years old won't offend anyone anew, because I hope that people can understand that what I thought and felt and wrote about then is probably very different to what I think and feel and write about now. It's a relic of an (albeit recent) bygone era.
So, given the age of this post, please bear in mind:
- My views may well have changed in the last 15 years. I have written some very silly things over the years, many of which I find utterly cringeworthy today.
- This post might use words or language in ways which I would now consider highly inappropriate, offensive, embarrassing, or all three.
- Factual information might be outdated.
- Links might be broken, and embedded material might not appear properly.
Okay. Consider yourself duly warned. Read on...
I am afraid that it is now clear to me that by failing to reveal your full legal advice and the considerations that underpinned your final advice, you misled the Cabinet and therefore helped obtain support for military action improperly. This is a very serious matter in relation to the war in Iraq, the integrity of your office, your own integrity and the proper working of UK constitutional arrangements.
So says Claire Short, which is good for her, I guess. Though not so good for Mr Blair, who just looks worse and worse as this story progresses. This means, of course, that the legal advice is very damaging, because otherwise he'd have released it and defended it under his masochism strategy. So he's holding out until he's out of office, and they can't touch him. The problem with this stategy is if it somehow gets out before then, which these kinds of documents have a habit of doing, particularly when many in your own party are against you. This could be Mr Howard's magic weapon to beat Mr Blair with – if he produces this just before the election, it wouldn't take much for Labour to lose this election. But Mr Howard has a habit of playing these big things all wrong, and would probably end up looking bad himself somehow or other. But this could be political dynamite.

Action: Reduce tillage
Key messagesRead our guidance on Key messages before continuing
- We found no evidence for the effects of reduced tillage on amphibian populations.
'No evidence' for an action means we have not yet found any studies that directly and quantitatively tested this action during our systematic journal and report searches. Therefore we have been unable to assess whether or not the action is effective or has any harmful impacts. Please get in touch if you know of such a study for this action.
Conventional ploughing uses a mould-board plough, cultivating to a depth of around 20 cm. A number of methods can be used to reduce the depth or intensity of ploughing, such as layered cultivation, non-inversion tillage and conservation tillage. Such have been found to be beneficial for some farmland biodiversity (Holland & Luff 2000).

AbstractIn the platelets of a type II Glanzmann thrombasthenia patient, the amount of glycoprotein (GP) IIb and IIIa was significantly reduced. Three novel mutations were identified in the GPIIb gene (c.440C→G/p.Leu116Val, c.1772_1773insG/p.Asp560 GlyfsX16 and c.2438C→A/p.His782Asn). p.Leu116Val did not represent a causative mutation. The c.1772_1773insG mutation resulted in an early stop codon and nonsense mediated decay of mRNA. When expressed in transfected BHK cells, the truncated protein was unable to form complex with GPIIIa. The p.His782Asn mutation compromised transport of the pro-GPIIb/IIIa complex from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi, hindering its maturation and surface expression.
The fibrinogen receptor (GPIIb/IIIa complex, αIIbβ3 integrin; CD41a) is synthesized in megakaryocytes and expressed on the platelet surface.1 In the endoplasmic reticulum, pro-GPIIb forms heterodimer with GPIIIa, a prerequisite for surface expression. In the Golgi, pro-GPIIb is cleaved into heavy and light chains, linked through a disulfide bridge (mature GPIIb). GPIIb consists of four major domains, β-propeller, thigh, calf-1 and calf-2 domains. The main contact site with GPIIIa is located in the β-propeller, while calf-1 and calf-2 domains contribute minor interfaces. Glanzmann thrombasthenia (GT) is an autosomal recessive bleeding disorder characterized by quantitative or qualitative defect of the fibrinogen receptor and the inability of platelets to aggregate.2 The GT database(http://sinaicentral.mssm.edu/intranet/research/glanzmann) lists 62 and 41 mutations in the GPIIb and GPIIIa genes respectively. In type I disease no fibrinogen receptors or only a very low number can be detected on the platelet surface, while in type II GT their number, although reduced (below 15%), is measurable. This report discusses a type II GT patient with three novel heterozygous mutations in the GPIIb gene and analyzes their consequences at protein level.
Design and Methods
A 52-year-old male patient, of non-consanguineous parents, was investigated because of recurrent hemorrhagic symptoms. Family members showed no sign of bleeding diathesis. His bleeding time was >20 min and PFA-100 closure times were >300 sec. The patient's platelets failed to aggregate in response to ADP, arachidonic acid, epinephrine and collagen. Clot retraction was partially retained (45% versus 30% in normal controls). The patient and family members gave informed consent. Ethical approval for the study was obtained from the Ethics Committee of the University of Debrecen. Preparation of platelet specimens, flow cytometric analysis, SDS-PAGE of platelet lysate, immunodetection of GPs by Western blotting, isolation of genomic DNA, PCR amplification and sequencing of exons of GPIIb gene, isolation and reverse transcription of platelet RNA have all been previously described.3
Baby Hamster Kidney (BHK) cells were transiently transfected with wild type (WT) GPIIIa and one of the mutant GPIIb containing plasmids.3,4 The surface appearance of GPIIb in transfected BHK cells was investigated by confocal laser scanning microscopy (CSLM), while its expression in whole cells was studied by immunoprecipitation of GPIIb/IIIa or GPIIIa and Western blotting.3,4
Fibrinogen binding to transfected BHK cells was assessed by flow cytometry. Cells expressing p.Leu116Val or WT GPIIb and WT GPIIIa were incubated for 1 hour in Tris buffered saline (TBS) containing 0.1% bovine serum albumin (BSA), 0.25 mM MgCl2 and 0.1 mg/mL human fibrinogen (Sigma) in the presence or absence of 10 μg/mL PT25-2 monoclonal antibody (Takara, Shiga, Japan) known to activate GPIIb/IIIa. Cells were washed and incubated for 20 min with 10 μL FITC-conjugated rabbit anti-human fibrinogen (Dako) and analyzed by flow cytometry.
The intracellular fate of mutant GPs expressed in BHK cells was studied by pulse-chase analysis.4 After chase, cells were lysed, and GPIIb and IIIa were immunoprecipitated by anti-GPIIb-IIIa polyclonal antibody (Affinity Biologicals). The immunoprecipitate was analyzed by SDS-PAGE and fluorography. Relative amounts of radio-labelled proteins were estimated by quantitative densitometry. For the intracellular localization of GPIIb, transfected cells were washed in PBS, fixed and permeabilized for 2 min in −20°C methanol, washed in PBS containing 0.05% Triton X-100 and 0.5% BSA (TX-BSA-PBS), and then incubated for 40 mins at room temperature with the following antibodies: monoclonal mouse antibody against protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) (ascites, 1:200 dilution) (Affinity Bioreagents, Golden, CO), 1 μg/mL anti-Golgin-97 mouse monoclonal antibody (Invitrogen) and 4 μg/mL phycoerythrin (PE) labelled anti-GPIIb antibody (DAKO). The anti-PDI antibody and the anti-Golgin-97 antibody were previously complexed with AlexaFluor 488 and AlexaFluor 647 conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG, respectively, using the Zenon labelling and blocking kit (Invitrogen). Cells were then washed 3 times in TX-BSA-PBS, mounted in 5 μL Mowiol, and examined by CLSM. Laser scanning cytometry (LSC) was performed using an iCys instrument (CompuCyte, Cambridge, MA, USA) based on an Olympus IX-71 inverted microscope. As well as the immunostainings described above, nuclei were also stained with 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI). Quantitative digital image processing tasks were performed using the C programming environment of SCIL-Image (TNO, Delft, The Netherlands). Average GPIIb labelling intensities were determined for both the ER and Golgi regions and the ratio of the two was calculated for each cell.
Results and Discussion
Flow cytometric analysis showed a clearly detectable but strongly reduced amount of surface expressed GPIIb (Figure 1A,a) and GPIIIa (Figure 1A,b) on patient's platelets. Permeabilization increased the labelling, but there was still a difference between patient and control (Figure 1A,c,d). 57,104±5,568 fibrinogen receptor copies were detected on control, and 2,556 copies (4.5%) on patient's platelets. The patient's two daughters expressed 31,157 and 35,030 receptor copies. In the patent's platelets the amount of GPIIb and GPIIIa was strongly reduced (Figure 1B). Only 6% and 16% of the amount present in control platelets were measured by scanning densitometry respectively.
Sequencing of patient's DNA revealed three novel heterozygous mutations in the GPIIb gene (www.ensemble.org, gene ID: ENSG00000005961): c.1771_1772insG causes frameshift and predicts a premature termination codon at amino acid 575 (p.Asp560GlyfsX16; X575GPIIb), c.339C>G and c.2437C>A resulting in p.Leu116Val (L116VGIIb) and p.His782Asn (H782NGPIIb) amino acid exchange. One of the patient's daughters carried the c.2437C>A mutation. The other daughter carried the c.1771_1772insG along with c.339C>G mutation, indicating that these mutations are on the same allele. Neither point mutation could be detected in 50 unrelated individuals suggesting that they do not represent common polymorphisms. No mRNA representing the allele with c.1771_1772insG was detected in the patient's platelets. As the premature termination codon is 110 nucleotides 5′ to the next exon-exon junction, in the nonsense-mediated decay-competent region of the transcript, it is very likely that the mutant GPIIb-mRNA is eliminated by nonsense-mediated decay mechanism.5 A similar effect of GP mutations causing early stop codon has been reported in some cases.3,6–9
The polyclonal antibody against both integrin subunits immunoprecipitated pro-GPIIb and mature GPIIb from BHK cell expressing WT or L116V mutant to the same extent and anti-GPIIIa antibody co-immunoprecipitated the mature proteins, indicating their normal complex forming ability (Figure 2A). In fact, considerable surface labelling of WTGPIIb/IIIa and L116VGPIIb/IIIa was observed (Figure 2B). The extent of fibrinogen binding to ac<Mtivated GPIIb/IIIa in cells expressing WTGPIIb and L116VGPIIb was also identical (not shown). The amount of mature H782NGPIIb was diminished while that of its pro-form was similar to the WT (Figure 2A) suggesting hindered maturation. The surface expression of H782NGPIIb/IIIa was strongly reduced (Figure 2B). The X575GPIIb was expressed in a limited amount as a truncated protein of 70 kDa that was not co-immunoprecipitated by anti-GPIIIa (Figure 2A). This finding and the lack of its surface expression suggest that it was unable to form complex with GPIIIa. This mutation is located in the C-terminal part of the thigh domain and results in the loss of both calf domains and the distortion of thigh domain. Two other non-sense mutations in the thigh domain also prevented complex formation with GPIIIa.3,9 There is an extensive, ~7 nm contact between the thigh domain and the β-propeller10 that might be important for the correct orientation of β-propeller for interaction with GPIIIa. The absence and/or distortion of part of the thigh domain could alter the orientation of β-propeller and block the complex formation with GPIIIa.
CLSM of permeabilized BHK cells showed co-localization of WTGPIIb and L116VGPIIb with both ER and Golgi markers (Figure 3A), indicating normal synthesis and transport from ER to Golgi. H782NGPIIb co-localized with the ER, while co-staining for GPIIb and the Golgi seemed less remarkable. As demonstrated by LSC, staining of WTGPIIb and L116VGPIIb in the ER and in the Golgi were of the same proportion, while the relative amount of the H782NGPIIb in the Golgi was significantly lower (Figure 3B).
Pulse-chase experiments showed that the degradation of WT and H782NGPIIb forms (pro-GPIIb plus mature GPIIb) followed the same kinetic (Figure 3C). By contrast, the conversion of H782Npro-GPIIb into mature GPIIb was significantly slower than that of WTpro-GPIIb. These findings indicate normal degradation, but delayed maturation of H782N mutant. Maturation of L116VGPIIb occurred with the same kinetics as the WT protein (not shown). Normal synthesis, maturation, intracellular transport, surface expression and fibrinogen binding ability indicated that L116V was not a causative mutation. The H782N mutation is localized to the calf-2 domain and contact between the calf-2 domain of GPIIb and GPIIIa has been demonstrated.11,12 The partial disruption of this contact due to mutation does not influence the complex formation with GPIIIa, but could be responsible for the impaired transport of the aberrant complex from the ER.4,13,14 A similar correlation between retention in the ER and impairment of GPIIb maturation has been reported.4 A further disturbance in the transport of the H782NGPIIb/IIIa complex beyond the cis-Golgi that could contribute to the poor expression of GPIIb/IIIa on the surface of platelets and co-transfected BHK cells cannot be excluded.

Well he had charisma. And a certain brand of courage at the end. Otherwise, it might be difficult to find too many kind words about Don Giovanni, the title character in the opera by the same name with music by Mozart.
Houston Grand Opera has teamed up with The Royal Opera, Covent Garden to present a new production of the classic tale about the man living in mid 18th Century Spain who loved and threw aside countless women. As the opera begins, Don Giovanni is somewhere inside the Commendatore's house, trying to seduce his daughter Donna Anna while Giovanni's servant Leporello, stands watch outside.
Suddenly Giovanni rushes out with Anna in pursuit trying to unmask him. Her father follows in short order, and engages Giovanni in a duel. The Commendatore dies and Donna Anna makes her fiance Octavio swear to avenge his death, once they figure out who has killed him.
Ailyn Pérez (Countess Almaviva in The Marriage of Figaro) is making her role debut as Dona Anna, the woman so consumed by what has happened to her father that she cannot stop herself from becoming obsessed with revenge.
Part of the reason Perez wanted to make her role debut here was the chemistry she has with HGO Music and Artistic Director Patrick Summers. "He has a meticulous sense of musicality. He can also see the range of possibilities for a voice," she says.
HGO Studio alumnus and bass-baritone Ryan McKinney is taking on the Don Giovanni role, while tenor Ben Bliss is making his HGO debut singing the role of Don Ottavio. Donna Elvira will be sung by American soprano Melody Moore (Senta in The Flying Dutchman). Italian baritone Paolo Bordogna sings the Leporello role.
Perez hints that this interpretation of Don Giovanni has more than a few surprises in it. — including the ending. Historically, she says, "We could take her [Donna Anna's] words as truth and in the text she says that Don Giovanni is having his way with her in a forced nature or rape, and we're not playing it that way. We're starting the opera with a consensual fun frolic with Anna and Don Giovanni. And keeping that story alive is definitely a different journey for an Anna and for how she relates to Ottavio.

"Octavio is receiving all these orders from Anna to avenge her father's death and her honor," Perrez says. And the moment Octavio decides to do something, Anna starts having regrets, realizing she doesn't want Octavio to do it. "Because he's so pure and his love is so noble and so innocent.
"Anna can't quite do what she ought to do which is one, tell him the truth. She knows it will ruin anything. At the moment he pulls a gun on Don Giovanni, she realizes it's gone too far."
Don Giovanni resonates today, she says. "Maybe it's the perspective that Mozart gives us, the age old stories of men and women and love and intrigue and death.To bring it to light in a way to challenge us still today — how you tell the truth, how you are in relationships. These stories don't go away It feels so ahead of its time and yet here we are still figuring it out."
Performances are scheduled for April 20 through May 5 at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Friday and Saturdays and 2 p.m. Sunday at the Wortham Center, 500 Texas. For information, call 713-228-6737 or visit houstongrandopera.org.$20-$270. You can pay your age for an opera ticket if you are under $25. Call ahead and bring ID. There are also a limited number of $15 tickets available for first-time opera goers and student groups. Call ahead for information.

Talented Survey 2017 results
21 Dec 2017 by pixels
We are building a community of talented (pun unintended) programmers, and want to make sure our talents get the most out of it. We thought it would be a good idea to execute a survey after the first year in business to find out the things we are doing okay and the things that need to be improved. We got answers from 89 Talented network members and we would now like to share the results that we thought you developers would find the most interesting.
- When starting the business the goal was to help experienced developers to find better jobs and change the way IT-recruitment works. The results show that we have managed to hit that niche quite well when having network members with on average 11 years of work experience. So far hundreds of developers have popped the champagne.
- We're building a community so we were happy to see the word "easily approachable" as the top word to describe us. We are also proud to announce that the number of the people in the network today is close to 900, yay!
- What is contradictory is that the most used programming languages are not necessarily the most loved ones which means many developers use languages they don't really want to use. This brings us an exciting challenge to find a job/project involving the technologies and languages candidates feverishly want to learn and use because after all our purpose is to find the most interesting and funniest jobs/projects for them.
- We will wait and see if the Emacs fans strike back in the next year's survey.
