When it comes to interviewing having a good list of questions to share with your team can be invaluable. It helps everyone prepare a little easier; plus being aware of what other people are asking is a great way to ensure that you cover a diverse set of areas (giving you a better view into an imperfect process, and the candidate a better chance to get things right).
This is the list I used to use (largely for software engineers and web developers, but many are also good for other roles like PMs, etc.).
There is also a link to a google doc of the questions here – that way you can make a copy and tailor it to your team. Suggestions, comments, links, etc. are welcome!
Epic List of Software Interview Questions
Below is a list of software engineer skills or areas that can be tested and evaluated in an interview context. Use the list below to help you get started, and you'll soon be developing your own favorite questions and competencies for interviews. There are so many creative ways to test and evaluate skills when building your team – so let's get started!
- Abstraction & Design
- Have you ever seen OO go bad? What happened? What elements of OO design are most prone to abuse and misuse? What are some ways to prevent these mishaps?
- Implement a game of tic-tac-toe. How do you represent the game board? What interfaces do you expose?
- Implement a stock ticker. How do you handle displaying all of the data quickly to the end user? // Since most people are familiar with stocks I generally have them articulate the requirements and functionality first. The crux of this problem is thinking about the different granularities in which they can view a stock price – real time, hourly, daily, yearly, etc. and modeling their data to support fast querying for those graphs.
- You are tasked with designing software that runs and controls elevators. What interfaces and class objects would you use? What configuration options would you need for the software to work in skyscrapers, buildings with only one elevator, and buildings with banks of elevators? How would these use cases change the objects and interfaces in your design?
- Imagine you were tasked with designing a text editor (or instant messaging program). What are the primary functions? What are the various interfaces, classes, etc. that you would need to provide those functions? // and feel free to replace text editor with any common small program of your choosing (mobile apps make great examples)
- Algorithms (different approaches and performance)
- Describe the algorithm for a depth-first graph traversal. // It is also useful to have the candidate tell you about the data structure they are using to represent the graph.
- Write a function that takes two strings as arguments and returns a string containing only the characters found in both strings. Have them write 2 versions – one that is O(n) and one that is O(n^2).
- You are given a sorted array and you want to find the number N. How do you do the search as quickly as possible (not just traversing each element)?
- How would the performance of your algorithm change if there were lots of duplicates in the array?
- Given a list of numbers that is a circular list, such that iterating through the list would return the first number after you reached the end. How might you find the minimum number in the list? // It is easier if you can assume all the numbers are increasing, until it reaches the end of the list.Implement a function that will divide two numbers without using the division operator. (solution for dividing a number by 3)
- Now find any given number in the list. What is the upper bound on for the running time of this function?
- Given two different lists of objects, come up with an efficient solution to find the intersection of the two lists. (solution)
- How do you find all the permutations of a string? What is the running time?
- Now imagine that the string has repeating characters. How could you modify your solution so it would only find unique permutations as efficiently as possible?
- Given a list of numbers, assume each number represents the amount of time it takes to execute a task. How would you dive the tasks across two different servers to they finished in the same amount of time?Write a program that will find the 10 most popular words (popularity is determined by how often they occur) in a file. How can you do this efficiently in terms of space? In terms of time? // Sometimes it helps to tell them it is a really big file that can't fit in memory if they get hung up on timing
- How would you divide them across N servers?
- Now assume you want the jobs to finish at the same time, what is the optimal number of servers and how would you distribute the jobs across them to achieve this goal?
- Given an array what is the longest contiguous increasing subsequence of elements? (solution) What is the longest increasing subsequence? (solution) (This is a classic dynamic programming problem)
- Imagine that you want to return a random number from a really long linked list of numbers. You do not know the length of it, but it is big. Write a function which will return a random number from the list. (solution)
- Create an algorithm that will output the results of rolling a die (1-6) using a function that simulates a coin toss (1 or 2). All 6 outcomes should be equally likely. (solution)
- Given an array of integers write a program that will determine if any two numbers add up to a specified number N. Do this without using hash tables. (solution, although some use hash tables)
- Problem Solving (like algorithms, only more general)
- If there are N different teams, and over time they are all going to merge into one giant team. How many different ways can the teams merge?
- Given a dollar value come up with all the different ways to make change given the standard coin denominations (solution).
- Count the 2's between 0 and N. And every 2 digit counts as a 2, so if N was 7 the answer would be 1 (just the number 2), whereas if n was 23 there would be 7 2's {2, 12, 20, 21, 22 (this counts for 2), 23}. // This is actually pretty challenging and one of my favorite questions to ask candidates that are doing really well in with lots of other questions. Getting the brute force answer is easy, coming up with an elegant solution takes a little more effort.
- How many degrees are there in the angle between the hour and minute hands of a clock when the time 4:15? // You can also use the current time if there is a clock in the room. You aren't looking for a wild guess but for someone who can rationalize out the answer. For candidates rusty on geometry I will give them the number of degrees in a circle via hints
- Imagine that you have a large dataset on disk (or in the cloud like S3), and you have limited memory on your servers but you want to sort and manipulate the data. What is the best algorithm/sort to use in this situation? (solution)
- We want to open up another office in a different state. How would you pick the state? How would you go about deciding what salaries to pay the employees? // This is a great question for a leadership role, if you don't like the salary version you can modify the question to be about opening a data center and partitioning services.
Here are some other problem solving questions too, if you need additional examples.
- Data Structures: Trees & Graphs
- Given a tree write breadth first search and depth first search, and explain the run time and space requirements.Convert a binary search tree into an ordered array. How do you do this as efficiently as possible?
- Now modify your solutions to handle trees with weighted edges and/or loops and print out the path from start to finish.
- How do you find the 7th element in a binary search tree? How do you generalize the function to find the Nth element? (solution)
- Given two binary trees write a function that will compare the two and see if they are equal – both in terms of data and structure. (solution) // You can also do just data or just structure to mix it up. Just make sure you know how to explain the differences.
- Write a function to determine if a graph contains a cycle. (solution)
- Give at least two ways to represent a graph in memory. What are the pros and cons of each solution? When would you choose one over another? (solution)

- (There are a ton more of these types of questions online if you want to find more of them. Most of the time I am looking to verify the candidate understands the different sizes of data and how it would be impact their programs. Other interviewers go deeper here, though, so it is up to you.)
- Command Line & Scripting
- Design an API to provide product data from a supplier to an ecommerce website. What functions do you support? What do the interfaces look like?
- Write a regular expression which matches a email address // You can use url, phone number, etc. instead of email address

- Networking
- What are some common networking protocols and what makes them special?

- What is the difference between stateless and stateful systems? How does this impact scaling?
- What is a cache? In your past projects, what types of caches were present?How would you decide if you should buy servers with more memory or disk space? How would you develop a cost model to help you make the decision? // This question is probably best for someone with some experience managing or having exposure to servers. You can still answer it without that knowledge of course, but there may be better questions.
- If you had to implement a cache (feel free to pick a type of cache, such as an image cache, or type of data) how would you do it? How do you know which items need to be refreshed? What happens when the cache is full; how do you decide which items to evict? // BTW this is one of my favorite interview questions for phone screens. Mostly because you can go really deep with candidates that really understand this concept and you don't need a diagram or whiteboard to communicate the question and answer.
- What are different cache eviction strategies? // such as LRU, LFU, FIFO etc.
- A website with 3 app servers and one database is slow, what are some ways to troubleshoot this system?

Although it is really about the process and how they arrive at their ideas.
- (For more questions on this note, there is an amazing post here on hiring a product manager but a lot of the questions could easily be adapted here as well)

- Productivity & Ability to Get Things Done
- Tell me about a time you did something that you were really proud of but no one else knew about. // Ideally they should answer with some sort of cleanup work, like refactoring, or fixing other issues, or maybe even something as simple as cleaning up the kitchen. You want a sign that they care about work that is more than just the tasks they are assigned.
- How do you manage your tasks and stay organized?
- Tell me about a time when you were the most productive. What made that time special? Did you change anything about your day to day work to take advantage of those same attributes?

- When do you know your code is ready for prime time (shipping to production)?
- What is the role of QA in previous roles? How do you like to work best with quality teams?

- Give me an example of a time when you were able to communicate and work with another person even when they may not have personally liked you (or vice versa).
- Passion
- Do you have any personal projects? Tell me about them. // This is probably one of my favorite and most important questions. When I hire I like to hire candidates who are very passionate about what they do, and so programming isn't something they just do at their job. They are actually passionate about it and pursue their own projects outside of work.
- If money weren't an issue and you had to work on a project for 3 months, what would you create?
- What are 3 big contributors to your success?
- Give me an example of a goal you set for yourself and how you achieved it.
- What are some of your hobbies or passions outside of work? How did you first get into them?
- Culture Fit
- Tell me about 3 times you have failed. // Almost anyone can come up with 1 or 2, but it can be hard to think of 3. Be sure to wait and be quiet while the candidate thinks and ponders the answer – I often feel like the most insightful answers come towards the end of this question.
- Do you still write code in your job? Do you love it? // This is more targeted at managers or leaders, since many do not need to be writing code to do their jobs. Hopefully this question could lead to an interesting conversation on role, etc.
- What do you want to do in 5 years? How would this job fit into your plan and help you toward your goals?
- Why do you want to work at [company name]? Have you used our products? Is there a particular area or feature that got you excited?

- If you were hiring someone in this role, what would you look for? What sort of interview questions would you ask? Do you have a favorite question?
- How did you prepare for this interview?
- Do you consider yourself weird? Why or why not?
- Are there any questions that we didn't ask you that we should have?
Update 6/17: This next set of questions came from Jan Schaumann, who reached out to me via Twitter noticing the lack of security questions from the list. Then he took it to the next level and compiled this awesome list of security interview questions on his blog, which I will also share here. Awesome work, Jan!

Anchorage voters first in nation to reject 'bathroom bill'
April 19, 2018
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) – Voters in Alaska's largest city are on track to becoming the first in the U.S. to defeat a so-called bathroom bill in a referendum that asked them to require people using public bathrooms and locker rooms consistent with their gender at birth.
The initiative asked Anchorage's voters to repeal an ordinance passed in 2015 that prevented discrimination based on sexual orientation and added a clause that would have prevented transgender people from using bathrooms and locker rooms corresponding to their gender identities.
Voting by mail and in person ended on Apri...

Switzer Performance
Switzer performance and Total Car Concept share the same view on tuning.
Simply put: if it won't provide a real, noticeable enhancement to your driving experience, Switzer Performance won't sell it.
The Switzer brand is synonymous with performance and innovation. Switzer Performance continuously push an automobile's performance to the next level - and, once that level is reached, Switzer will create a new one. Switzer Performance strive to always evolve, and always improve.
It is a Switzer Performance goal to deliver a truly unforgettable driving experience for each and every client.
Switzer P800
Total Car Concept is the Switzer performance dealer for Europe and England. Switzer Performance delivers different tuning packages for the Nissan GTR and Porsche, the more impressive are the Switzer P700 and Switzer P800 package. These are packages that will bring the car to 700 or 800 hp!! And if that's not enough for you we can improve the P800 to 850hp.
Or even more with the Ultimate Street Edition or R1K package from Switzer Performance!
Switzer GTR
Next to the Switzer GTR parts TCC delivers different performance parts for the Nissan GTR (R35). As it is, the Nissan GTR is already an excellent and fast performance car, but of course we, at Total Car Concept always search for that extra horse power. These extra hp will make of the Nissan GTR an ultimate Super Car.
At the end of 2009 Total Car Concept purchased a Nissan GTR R35 as Switzer GTR demo car. We've fit a Switzer GTR P800 package so people interested in a Switzer GTR tuning package can ride (along) to see if perhaps it's something for their Nissan GTR too.
Additionally the Switzer GTR demo will be used at various events such as Time Attack. This Switzer GTR demo has been wrapped in matte black and gold metallic foil to protect the paint at the circuit.
Switzer Performance for Porsche
There is simply no substitute for a Porsche, and Switzer Performance doesn't pretend to be able to improve the character of this car.
The R SERIES Porsches also maintain the classic character of Porsche's finest cars. Around town it drives just like a Porsche (C2), while on the track, it drives just like a Porsche (917K).

Sun Info
What you need to know
The difference between natural and conventional sunscreen
SOLIMARA sunscreen only uses natural ingredients such as Sweet Almond oil, Jojoba oil, Shea Butter and active ingredient zinc. These natural ingredients are every bit as effective as those found in conventional sunscreens. In many ways, natural sunscreens are actually more effective than conventional sunscreens. Here's why:
Natural is effective immediately
When you apply natural sunscreen, you can go out into the sun immediately without having to worry about a sunburn. With conventional sunscreens, you need to wait 15 to 20 minutes before it protects you from the sun. This is because the active chemical ingredients in conventional sunscreens actually have to sink down into the different layers of your skin before they become "active." Since our minerals actually sit on top of your skin, they act like a mirror and reflect sunlight away from the body. They are effective immediately!
Natural doesn't have any chemicals!
SOLIMARA takes great care to only include natural safe ingredients to create our products, providing the best possible protection for the whole family. You will simply not find any chemicals in our products, only natural and nourishing ingredients.
The skin is your body's largest organ. It protects your internal organs and guards you from infections. Skin has three layers: The epidermis, the outermost layer of skin, provides a waterproof barrier and creates our skin tone.
What should I look for in a sunscreen?
In recent years there has been an explosion of sunscreen products on the market, making it somewhat confusing for the consumer. This is actually a good development, as it demonstrates that people are becoming increasingly aware of the need to protect their skin. Always look for a "broad spectrum" and or "water resistant" sunscreen, especially if you will be swimming or sweating.
SOLIMARA sunscreen...
...uses only zinc oxide (physical blocker) and all-natural ingredients. The SPF30 is up to 2hr water resistant. Always carry sunscreen with you. Send it to school or camp with your children and encourage them to use it. Even on cloudy days you can still get sunburned.
Which sunscreen is right for me?
The answer depends on many factors, including your skin type, activity, time of day and the UV Index. For most skin types, a sunscreen with a minimum SPF of 15 is recommended. If you have light skin, which burns easily however, you should use a product with SPF30.
SOLIMARA sunscreen is so gentle that even those with sensitive skin should be able to tolerate it. Please remember to keep babies out of the sun as much as possible.
How to best apply SOLIMARA sunscreen?
Many people are surprised when they use sunscreen and get sunburned anyway.
For sunscreen to be effective, apply it evenly and often (at least every 2 hours).
Our natural sunscreen is best applied in small amounts dabbed on the skin before spreading it.
What is SPF?
SPF stands for sun protection factor. For example, your unprotected skin typically burns after 10 minutes in the sun.
• An SPF15 sunscreen properly applied would give you 150 mins of protection.
• An SPF30 sunscreen properly applied would give you 300 mins of protection.
That's the theory. These times will vary from person to person because of different skin types, activities and how well the sunscreen is applied. However, we recommend to always re-apply the sunscreen for continued protection.
High SPF numbers?
High SPF numbers seem to have become the norm for people to think that 50+ is better.
High SPF products let users believe they can stay longer in the sun and overexpose themselves to both UVA & UVB rays. As a result, they get as many sunburns (UVB) as unprotected sunbathers and are likely to absorb more damaging UVA radiation.
UVA = part of the broad spectrum (Deeply penetrates skin responsible for tissue damage, premature aging, wrinkles and melanoma)
SPF = UVB protection ONLY (sunburn)
Types of UV Radiation
UVA and UVB are the two types of Ultraviolet Radiation emitted by the sun, which penetrate the earth's atmosphere. UVC rays are absorbed by the earth's atmosphere and do not reach earth. UVA rays – are longer rays, which penetrate the skin deeply, causing age spots, wrinkling and premature aging. UVB rays – are the shorter rays which cause sunburn.
When is UV Radiation most intense?
In the middle of the day (between 10am and 4pm)
During the summer months
At higher altitudes
In regions of the earth closer to the equator
Can I get sunburned behind glass?
People often think that glass windows protect us from sunburn and skin damage. Although most glass windows do offer some protection, they are definitely not completely sun proof. So we would not advise that you think of them as sun protection.
Can I get sunburned under water?
Yes. Up to one meter below the water surface, the UVB intensity is still 70%. Snorkelers are particularly vulnerable.
Vitamin D
Vitamin D is a collective name for vitamins D1, D2, D3, D4 and D5. The Vitamin D we're dealing with is Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol), and Vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol). They are essentially equivalent and differ only in their side-chain structure. Vitamin D is responsible for over a hundred biological processes including regulating immune system status, modulating proper blood sugar, supporting memory and overall mental health, keeping metabolism in check, and much more. Vitamin D is found in cells throughout the body.
An estimated 75% of people have insufficient levels of serum Vitamin D. Vitamin D is essential for maintaining normal calcium and phosphorous levels in our bodies promoting healthy growth of bones, nails and teeth as well as playing a large role in preventing our bodies from contracting serious health conditions.
Vitamin D is produced within our bodies when the sun's UV-B rays strike the skin, a reaction takes place that enables skin cells to manufacture Vitamin D. Fear of skin cancer is keeping people out of the sun and that is leading to low levels of Vitamin D. The sun supports all life on this planet, and it is available free of charge for you to take advantage of. While you should certainly take precautions to protect your skin from over-exposure to sunlight, getting a few minutes' worth of sun exposure on as much as your skin as possible, can be the best bet for producing vitamin D. Consider getting your sun exposure in the morning or evening when the sun's rays aren't as strong.
Vitamin D is not technically a vitamin. Individuals with adequate exposure to sunlight do not need to supplement their diet with it. Contrary to popular belief, Vitamin D is actually a hormone.
Different people need different amounts of sun exposure to make enough Vitamin D.
How much sun you should get depends on:
your skin colour
where you are, season and time of day
if you are taking medications (The combination of some medication and sun light can cause skin inflammation)
how much vitamin D you get from your food
How do we know what our Vitamin D status is?
Blood measurements are the only sure method to assess Vitamin D levels with certainty. The blood marker to check for is called 25(OH)D, short for 25 hydroxyvitamin-D, and it ranges from 0 to 100ng/mL (most people aim for a number somewhere in the high middle)
Some interesting facts
The rays of natural sunlight that produce Vitamin D in your skin cannot penetrate glass. This means you cannot get Vitamin D inside a car or at home. A person would have to drink ten large glasses of Vitamin D fortified milk each day just to get minimum levels of Vitamin D into their diet.
The further you live from the equator, the longer sun exposure you need in order to generate Vitamin D. People who have a darker skin type require more time in the sun to get vitamin D, because the darker skin pigment blocks the effects of the sun.
All fat-soluble vitamins (vitamin D) can be stored in the fatty tissues of your body if you get more than you need, unlike water-soluble vitamins which wash out in urine. Excess Vitamin D accumulates in the fat and liver, providing you with a Vitamin D source to draw on if your stores run low.

Masked UK producer SBTRKT chose to share some new music with the world by uploading his latest creation "Gloss" to his Soundcloud page earlier today. According to the brief description that accompanied the new track, the song is "analog music shared digitally". The warm, glitchy instrumental track is a mix of churning percussion and melodic synths that has an unmistakable summertime vibe.
As for a follow-up project to his self-titled 2011 release, there has yet to be any confirmed information on a new album from SBTRKT. For what it's worth new music, even the form of single track, is a welcomed treat and hopefully a sign of a forthcoming release in the near future.

There are several techniques that composer employ to create minimalist music:
Augmentation – this is where the not values are doubled in length i.e. a crochet becomes a minim
Diminution – the opposite of augmentation
Phase shift – when the composer is using audio clips they will split the signal between left and right channels. They will then speed up one of those channels to create a looping effect
Addition – a composer will add notes one of two at a time to build up to a motif.
Subtraction – the opposite of addition
Melodic transformation – gradually changing from one motif to another by way of small changes i.e. you could replace a C for a C# and then a D
Rhythmic Displacement – a composer will move a rhythm by a certain number of beats (inserting a rest at the beginning and then shifting the rhythm on by a beat)
Use of polyrhythms – polyrhythms are many rhthms, layered overr each other that create singular rhythm
Here is an example of melodic transformation:

My Top Tips for Eco LivingHolly By Heart
By Holly by Heart
Instead of my usual rants about how hard it is to cut plastic from my life, I'm going to share some of my top tips that I've learned along the way!
1. Give yourself a break. If you fall off the wagon, you will get back on again. You haven't lost so don't give up.
2. Do what you can with what you have. Don't go chucking out all the plastic in your house to replace with shiny new bamboo bits and bobs. Make do for the lifetime of that item and replace with something better next time.
3. Decisions are subjective and not set in stone. Try out a new product and if you don't like it, don't buy it again. This goes for usability as well as ethics.
4. Keep the goal in sight. Plastic isn't the enemy. Single use plastic and single use anything is. The only thing 'disposable' I like is income, so bear that in mind when considering using anything. If you can take something home and reuse it, do it!
5. Reduce, reuse, recycle. In an ideal world recycling would be more efficient but we're a long way off that. In the mean time reduce what you can, reuse what you can and recycle what's left.
6. Second hand is not second best. If you need something that you don't have, buying second hand is the most eco friendly option (second only to borrowing).
7. Buy well, buy once. This has been my downfall in the past. I'm easily swayed by price so often buy cheap. And yes, I do end up buying twice! A quality item will outlive a cheap one and will pay for itself over time.
8. Change doesn't happen overnight. If enough of us make these changes, retailers will take note. Governments will notice and things will change. It will take time so stick with it, tell your friends and let's see if we can change the world together!

With 48 hours to digest the devastating tie (never thought I'd write that in a football column) on Sunday night, we'll spare Steven Hauschka more scrutiny. Although the past season plus to the naked eye has not seemed as automatic as he once did. But that's a topic for another day.
Rather there should be a debate about whether or not the offense has enough to get this Seahawks team to the Super Bowl for the third time in four seasons. After Sunday, the Seahawks have now failed to reach pay dirt in three games - and they have only played six. For those not numerically inclined, that's half their games that they have failed to score a touchdown.
While true that the Cardinals to field one of the league's better defenses, the Rams nor the Dolphins do. When we went scoreless in Los Angeles, I hid behind the excuse that the Rams always play Seattle tough; that the NFL is all about match ups, and we simply just did not match up well with a team with Case Keenum under center.
One thing is for sure, we don't have to worry about the defense. It has proven to be the league standard the entire league measures itself against, as proven by leading the NFL is scoring defense the past four years. We saw it in action Sunday night, as they epitomized the philosophy of bend-don't-break.
However the offense more often than not, especially the past two games, has looked out of sync. It could be the injury to Russell Wilson, but it is apparent they miss Marshawn Lynch. They need that big bruiser out of the backfield to set the tone, and it looked like Thomas Rawls would be able to take up that mantle. The injury bug thought differently however, and the absence of that punishing running game has been noticeable.
No longer are the Hawks able to start slow in the first half, grinding their opponents down and finishing them off in the second. No one has really talked about it, but it's what this teams has survived on and what it so desperately needs if they want to hoist the Lombardi trophy in Houston.
Until Rawls comes back however, and comes back at the level he was at last year, it does not look like we will see that smash mouth brand of football. Until then, Wilson will have to grind it out and we'll have to rebrand the Seahawks as a finesse team offensively. And hope that it works.

I've been trying to wrap my hands around the Stanford rape case without running to a box of sexism, cronyism, classism or racism. I try to look at it objectively and figure out why a judge would only give this kid 6 months. Nothing else makes sense but the above. It's hard to tackle what the bigger issue is. Is it that men in general have a problem with viewing women as more than prey? Is it an unjust justice system? Is it that being affluent buys you your own justice? Or is it alright if it's all white?
Last night I stared at my daughter while she slept and couldn't imagine her going through something like that. I couldn't imagine being her father and having to try to deliver a sentiment that everything is going to be alright. How would I deliver that when in my heart of hearts I know that it won't. I'm the uncle to 7 nieces and anyone of them could fall victim to an asshole that ignores "no" or takes advantage of them while in an intoxicated state. At the same time its my responsibility to keep my 4 nephews out of situations like this. While the father of the rapist is concerned that his son won't be able to eat his favorite food of steak – the parents of the victim is concerned that their daughter will never feel safe in the world…ever.
Growing up I had friends that would brag on having sex with a woman who was intoxicated or 'caught slippin'. I could have easily fallen into that same boat if it wasn't for a conversation I had with my sister while in high school. She simply posed the question of: "Why does she have to be caught slippin for you to have sex with her?" It's a simple question that sent off a myriad of questions in my mind. Most of them were aimed at the emerging male ego that made me question how tight my game was. She followed that question with a simple statement that I took all through adulthood – "If she's drunk…its rape, period". And since that time I have been in many compromising situations where I had to be the bigger better man and just say no. Only to be clowned by some friends and acquaintances about missed opportunities.
This issue doesn't start when the rape happens. This starts in middle school(and sometimes earlier than that) when it's a game to 'feel' (a game where a boy tries to touch a girl without them knowing) a girl. Then it evolves with other small things as boys grow older that is classified under the "boys will be boys" box. Early on its girls then eventually women will be apart of many games that they may or may not be aware of. It's been instilled in us that women are merely trophies to collect and characters in mythical stories that we can pass on to our friends. First, men have to understand that women are human beings – for Christ's sake you have a mother (or two depending on your situation)! It sounds elementary right? I think some men don't respect women as their human counterpart. The only answer is men need to learn how to relate to women in other ways other than through the lens of their penis. If you relate to someone as a person the thought of violating them should disgust you. But if you view them as an object of achievement then it's impossible for you to even consider there is a chance of violating them. The problem is a lot of men don't see it as a problem.
A lot men say that if this happens to their daughter "I'm going to kill the guy". Fathers have to face the reality that this is a culture that we have inadvertently (and sometimes purposely) supported through our silence. We all pray that the chickens never come home to roost.

Today the Dubai Ports deal collapsed, with the management of Dubai Ports World announcing that they would divest the portion of the British Company that currently manages the ports. Democratic Leader Harry Reid immediately called for an up-or-down vote to block the ports from being managed by Dubai Ports World after Dubai Ports world announced the deal was dead.
Look, Democrats, we know that this deal was like manna from heaven, but it's over. The deal is dead, the free market doesn't prevail, and things can get back to normal.

Udupi, March 07, 2016: Former MP Jayaprakash Hegde has clarified on his stand pertaining to the demand for an underpass at Ambalpady Junction following allegations heard at a recent protest that he had recommended construction of a foot overbridge at the Junction in a letter to Oscar Fernandes when the latter was the Transport Minister.
Speaking to reporters here on March 7, Monday, Hegde said he had in fact written a letter to Oscar in 2014 seeking a foot overbridge and added that he stood by it even now. He also argued that an elevated foot overbridge at Ambalpady was far better than an underpass and that an underpass without a service road would be of little help. Moreover there will also be problems due to water stagnation in underpass, he said.
At the same time, Hegde said if people want a change in plan he will have no objection and that he was willing to offer his suggestions any time.
On the poor show of the Congress in the recently held Panchayat elections, Hegde said the party could have managed to win a few more seats had he not been expelled.
He said he has not decided on his political future or with regard to joining any party. He also stated that he will consult his supporters before taking any decision.

Receiving the "Ultimate Choice Award" at Sunday night's Teen Choice Awards, Ashton Kutcher took to the stage to reveal a bit of his personal history, starting with the bizarre reveal that his first name isn't actually Ashton.
"I feel like a fraud … My name is not even actually Ashton," the star of the Steve Jobs biopic "JOBS," said. "Ashton is my middle name…"
Um, that's not really an uncommon practice — even for us non-famous plebs. The 35-year-old goes on to say that his first name is Chris, but it was changed after he became an actor at 19. Anyways, the whole reason for this opening is so Kutcher could segue into a speech about the things he learned while he was Chris. It was actually a pretty decent list of things; albeit interrupted occasionally by throngs of screaming girls. Some of the takeaways included:
- Opportunity looks a lot like hard work
- Never quit your first job until you have your next job
- The sexiest thing in the entire world is being really smart, thoughtful and generous
- And the quote "Everything around us that we call life is made up of people no smarter than you."
Many of these are things you've probably gleaned from a Successories poster or calendar, but I like that Kutcher nonetheless took the time to spell 'em out to an audience of teens. As he mentioned in his speech, it appears that Steve Jobs' way of thinking (minus the whole thoughtful and generous attributes) definitely had a big impact on him. Check out the speech below. "JOBS" bows in theaters this weekend.

The Fei Tian Academy of the Arts Middletown Campus dance department is officially opening ballet classes for the 2017-2018 school year. These classes will be offered as an alternative to the Classical Chinese Dance courses. Ballet training will be conducted systematically, starting from the very basics and will be designed as a six-year middle to high school dance program. In addition to flexibility and fundamental ballet training, ballet program students will also be able to select additional dance electives, such as tumbling and ethnic dance.
Why Ballet?
As the Western world's most renowned classical dance form, Ballet is imbued with elegance, propriety, and artistic beauty. These are qualities that benefit those who practice this art form by enhancing their physical strength and beauty while improving their inner artistry.
Developed during the Renaissance, ballet sprouted from Italian roots and gradually became the premier classical dance form of the Western world, with many countries such as France and Russia eventually developing their own ballet styles. Originating from the royal courts, ballet gradually spread to the masses, but retained its regal characteristics of elegance, precision, and sophistication. All of this is demonstrated through the clean bodily lines, technical precision, and precise footwork commonly exhibited by well trained ballet dancers around the world.
Audition Requirements
In addition to submitting the application, all applicants must attend a live audition.
We are currently accepting entry-level applicants between the ages of 12-14. Prior ballet training is NOT required for students in this age range. Students between the ages of 15-18 may still apply and audition, but are recommended to have prior ballet training.
The audition process will include a full review of the student's bodily proportions, flexibility, muscle conditions, coordination, and technique, such as barre and center work, and will also include an interview conducted by the dance faculty.
All applicants should submit the following information:
- Name
- Age
- Height
- Length of prior ballet training, if any.
- Head shot photo
- Full body shot photo of first arabesque or tendu a la second

Hopefully you enjoyed the strategy guide. Please know that a guide must be high level in most regards because once you start getting into the weeds too much you're being too specific, you'll lose your audience, and it's not the mission. The point was to get you to think about the Terran race differently, at a high level, so you can go out there and make the critical, moment to moment, game changing decisions yourself. If you want details then by all means check out our Builds and check out our Replays where we've got plenty of details and strategies for you to employ.
For this SC2Strat.Net team member Terran is my favorite race in StarCraft 2. I love the versatility, options, and characters and I'm a nerd for the storyline and plight of the human race. If nothing else hopefully we gave you a little extra respect for the race and some new ideas that can make playing Terran that much more fun.
Thanks for reading!

In the background is the TV with some model (I cannot remember her name) carrying the Italizn Flag in the Opening Ceremonies. NOTE the knitting just starting.
The knitting Olympics is such a fantastic idea and a tremendous way to inspire and enhance everyone's sense of country pride (in my case CANADA!!!). I just want to thank the Yarn Harlot for such an amazing concept.
I also want to give a shout out to J and and Rebecca for their idea of doing some handwarmers during the Olympics as well. I have some yarn and a pattern and will do the handwarmers after I finish my shrug. More updates on both of these later!
The Jaywalkers have been returned to their rightful owner, who after perusing my blog this morning was aghast to see his socks on his father!
I will NOT repeat what he said (no swearing but certainly indignant!). He did take my knitting Olympics Jersey and can be seen modelling my jersey and his socks (he did not pull them up as requested; as soon as he put them on this morning he shoved them down to the slouch position - okay, he pulled them up slightly for the picture and then pushed them back down - which makes me wonder why I didn't just knit ankle socks!).
He is totally excited about my knitting for the Olympics and pledges to knit during the next Olympics (he wants a jersey).
Last but not least, I got my yarn today for the Sockapaloooza so I can make socks for my sock pal (who for obvious security reasons I cannot name). It is beautiful (and particulary so snuggled up to the Olympic Jersey) yarn from Fleece Artist (Colour 977). I bought the yarn from Grand River Yarns; excellent and prompt service. I will not be starting my socks until after the Olympics - too much going on right now.
