I've recently downloaded a torrent of Theme Hospital which runs with DOSBox. The game works perfectly fine, but for some reason the fax machine cheat doesn't seem to work. Can you please help me out?
Hiya, i've downloaded the cop of TH from your website but none of the cheats work, can you please help? Thanks :-)
I got your DL from this site. Started up fine but then says you must have the CD to play. Can you tell me how to trick the game in thinking the CD is there?
Will the Theme Hospital CD work with Windows 10?
Sorry, I meant Windows 8
The new corsix 20 keeps crashing on my system and i keep needing to re dowload it for it to work once, also how can i play a map ive create as a game?
I im a bit confused I own the soldout disk version of Theme hospital but now I have windows , so Do I have to install it first then install Corsix or the modified version or do I just keep the disk as legal justification to owning the game, i dont want to break the law or anything
Downloaded onto windows 8 but the game keeps crashing and the cursor is very slow when in play mode. Any help??? Please???
full download is no longer available due to reCAPTCHA issue
Download links havent worked since March 2018 due to reCAPTCHA V1 being unsupported…
tried to download both win8 and win7 versions(running win10) but both downloads do not start automatically and the file camp link uses recaptcha v1 which is shut down, new download link + mirrors please?

Doggerel #161: "Random"
There's no shortage of fundies who love to throw around the word "random," especially when it comes to topics like evolution. Closely related to this is "chance," a concept many people don't really grasp. I thought probability was a required part of everyone's math classes. I may have taken statistics courses, but I don't need that to know that it's not unusual for someone, somewhere to win a 1-in-500 million lottery.
First, to cover the obvious: Evolution and abiogenesis are not attributing everything to chance. You don't start with abiogenesis and claim flat odds of humans coming out. Start with lots of chemicals and time and see if any of them become self replicating. Once you've gotten past that hurdle, it's established, and those replicators can move onto other adaptations, which will then get established if they're beneficial, and the process repeats. Each of these steps has a reasonable chance of happening.
The problem comes from IDiots trying to add them all up. Imagine you've just won a board game by rolling exactly what you needed to win at the end. Each die roll has 6 possible outcomes. Your last roll had a 1-in-6 chance. A little unlikely, but well within reason. Now, imagine someone claiming the game is fixed because the exact outcome of the game was unlikely, citing the hundreds of rolls and how they would all have to come out right. That's what Creationists are doing when they make up numbers about the odds of things "spontaneously" forming. Evolution didn't require this particular outcome. There were plenty of other possibilities.
Moving on to other popular uses: Far too many woos think that we're overeager to attribute alleged psychic intuitions to dumb luck guesses. Sometimes psychics do get lucky, but most of the time, they're tilting the odds in their favor, using techniques like cold reading to gather information when the mark latches onto a vague comment or the fast-talking aspect to make sure the mark dismisses the wrong guesses when he stumbles on a hit. On top of all the mentalism tricks at their disposal, there's one fact that many people have trouble acknowledging: People have a lot of similarities. One Sylvia Browne fan stopped by here not long ago, asking me how she could possibly have known her mother wanted to get back to a painting hobby. Lots of people have artistic hobbies they wish they could get back to, and painting probably tops the list.
We live in an orderly universe that obeys certain rules. Philosophically, I know that "randomness" may just be an approximation of mechanism we don't yet understand. But even if the universe plays dice on some level, the game still follows rules, and science has given us a great understanding of those rules. If there's any leaning we scientifically minded people have, it's for order and predictability. Dumb luck is generally a guess of last resort, and we repeat experiments to try to cancel that out.
1 comment:
I've recently read a post on a biologist blog (can't find the link, sorry) that went into detail about abiogenesis and how the line between that and evolution isn't so clear cut as our side sometimes says. I thought it was very interesting myself.
Basically in talking about the standard model of abiogenesis, he explained how inheritance and natural selection is still a vital component of the process, even if the inheritance is not 1 to 1 so much as "statistical inheritance" where one set of chemicals raises the chances of another coming up which in turn raise the odds of the first coming up. I may have some of the details wrong, but one thing I can say is I found this site via a link over at Pharyngula, so you could search them for it at some point.
Anyway, the main point of it was that a lot of us tend to make the mistake of drawing a clear cut line of saying "well that's abiogenesis and evolution doesn't cover that" when natural selection actually does apply to many stages of the process. I didn't really agree that evolution applies to star formation or something like that though, as that really doesn't have a selecting factor (nothing about a star really cares if others show up or fine tunes itself, to the best of my knowledge).

Talent acquisition is one of the most important tasks of the HR department. They have to find and acquire the right talent that fulfills their organizational requirements and this is becoming increasingly challenging in this dynamic work environment.
The importance of talent acquisition to an organization coupled with its challenges has forced many HR managers to look beyond the traditional recruiting techniques. They are increasingly looking at software that can streamline this process in a big way. This need has led to the development of talent acquisition software that makes it easy for the HR managers to identify potential talent and track their progress. This software automates some of the manual and mundane tasks performed by HR and it makes information about potential candidates readily available, thereby reducing the administrative workload of HR managers. With talent acquisition software, HR can focus their attention on the core aspects of talent acquisition that will benefit their organization in a big way.

We limit the number of clients that we have at one time, allowing us to focus on your case.
Find out if you and your family can benefit from our elder law planning services!
Our firm exclusively handles elder law concerns so your family can obtain peace of mind.
Let us help. Request your consultation today and we will be in touch.
Putting together 1) plans for taking care of those you love once you pass
away as well as 2) plans for taking care of yourself if you become incapacitated
may not be at the top of your "to do" list. Once they do rise
to the top of the "to do" list and you take care of these
difficult, but oh so necessary tasks, you may want to jump for joy that
you never have to face these tasks again.
However, don't lull yourself into a false sense of security. Just
as life changes, estate and incapacity plans need to change. An estate
and incapacity plan that has become outdated because it hasn't evolved
as your life has evolved can create just as much havoc as no planning at all.
Even if your family situation doesn't change, the law does. For example,
last fall in Florida there were some major changes made to the durable
power of attorney statute. One of the results is that if the durable power
of attorney does not specifically say that your agent can perform a certain
activity for you, they can't perform that activity.
If your durable power of attorney was put in place during a time when a
general grant of authority was acceptable, you may no longer have as much
protection from your durable power of attorney as you think you do. It
is still valid, but only to the extent that it specifically lists powers
it is granting to your agent and activities your agent is authorized to
perform on your behalf. If you have a 3 page durable power of attorney
with only a few specifically listed delegated duties, you may be destined
for the guardianship court you thought you were avoiding by signing a
durable power of attorney in the first place.
So, just as your car needs a tune-up and you need an annual physical, your
estate and incapacity plans need a check-up as well. Make room on your
"to do" list for these plans to rotate back into the top spot
on a regular basis. This way you can have confidence that what you want
is what you are still getting.
Request your free consultation today to get started.

I warned you I'd be wearing these pants a lot this winter. Even though every time I put them on, my boyfriend teases me with things like "You're wearing your pajamas outside again?" But when pants like this are sitting in my closet, I'm wearing them! Pajama look or not! hehehe. I try to make it less bedroom looking by piling on lots of jewelry. Stacks of bracelets glam up everything!

People may remember talk talk said they had been hacked but didn't know the extent
on Wednesday the 21st of October 2015.. Police came on board on the 22nd.
Then they said to everyone the system has been taken offline and when it returns people will be requested to "change your password" when the sites back up..
Then they told everyone on facebook that its fine and NOTHING WAS TAKEN... They lied.. all posts where deleted BUT they had already sent out this email
No banking details where taken no my account passwords had been accessed, yet they took the system off line (because they couldn't tell if it was safe to be online.. clearly!!)
For a society that needs telling a packet of Pnuts MIGHT contain nuts.. It still perplexes me they didn't really state IF YOUR PASSWORD AND EMAIL FOR OUR SITE IS USED ON OTHER SITES THEN CHANGE IT THEIR TOO..
I clearly remember the Farce because they said Nothing Was Taken & yet they recomended changing your password.. We Know.. We Are Sure.. But yet.. just in case? wtaf lol
The last email i got regarding the sordid fkn affair was this one A CONFIRMATION...
So much for nothing taken.. FKN LOVE THE WAY IT SAYS NO LESS (like thats not bad)
lets read that with out the no less and say AT LEAST
Hackers Obtained
at least 21,000 Bank account numbers and sort codes
at least 28,000 Credit card and debit card details
at least 15,000 Dates of birth
at least 1.2 Million email addresses, Names and phone numbers
How do them figures even add up?
Clearly they have name, address, email, password, phone number, date of birth, bank account sort code , card numbers issue, expiry, security code for around 3+ Million people...
This would be why the data base encryption has only taken about 7 months for them to crack rather than 4 or 5 years.. So many must of been working on it because they must know how much it was worth.. its a telecommunications encrypted database and its worth noting these are NOT english people making the phone calls...
Bogus calls are on the rise.. DIRECT CALLS to Talk Talk customers.. The caller knows your Number.. Knows your a Customer & knows your name & address.. This means YES at least ONE database was stolen AND HAS NOW BEEN Decrypted OR at least partially decrypted regardless of the time line above..
They EITHER
A) haven't got full bank details
B) They have yet to break that encryption..
C) them red numbers are in a separate file, yet to be decrypted
clearly between 1.. 2 even 10 systems (they have your Full A/C number or how the machine bill you if it cant access them numbers..
You CAN split details between databases and encrypt them differently.. But how many databases where stolen???.. Either way the ONSLAUGHT of their cock up in October 2015 is showing its nasty head as of the 23rd of May 2016 & the talktalk website has done sod all to inform people...
As talk talk don't have a clue what's really gone on.. It seams fruitless to even ask them..
"but how did THEY get talktalk customers User Account Numbers to quote on the call????"
.. clearly the database..
ALSO have any other talk talk customers noticed their ISP if you check on speedtest.net is currently showing talk talk customers ISP as Tiscali who ever they are.. Why is my ISP no longer named as TalkTalk... VERY STRANGE???
Talk Talks website today seams more concerned in Placing adverts for AOL than WARNING its customers...
|Talk Talk Site 24th May 2016
Is this why LinkedIn was hacked too... Was a TalkTalk admin moonlighting at linkedin using the same details on their LinkedIn admin account? then hackers using their details stolen from TalkTalk allowed them access to a LinkedIn admin panel?
its a valid question isn't it?...
Anyways here is some other people talking about it from Yesterday before the Guardian even picked up on it..
I can also confirm Me and my Girlfriend have both been having random phone calls (talk talk have both our Unlisted Mobile numbers) Calls regarding a car accident claim.. These calls started approx 4 maybe 5 days ago.. They clearly got the first fkn database to open a few weeks ago and it was the mobile phone database which is a direct attack (numbers are numbers only no char) So you no its a dictionary base with context, IE the content should nearly all be the same length.. its more complex than that by hand. But essentially numbers that are defined by the system are easier to extract as there is no real quibble on the Characters. If its Land Lines in the uk then its looking for sets of 4.. 3... 4 digits.. So you can define that as 4,3,4 or 11.. It clearly makes it faster knowing your only looking for Numbers and not symbols or letters.. land line wise you can say the string is 11.. No more No less.. ALSO.. Once popped open.. you know what the encryption was.. what company made it and so on.. that's then used to help to pop the rest.. Its a paper trail & time.. The more details people give over the phone, the more they have to look for inside the database.. People are currently Helping these Hackers add more information to what ever they are using to dissect more info from behind the encrypted code.
Anyways.. talktalk.. ya clearly fkn idiots, ya website needs a BIG A$$ WARNING..
about scam calls.. and CHANGING passwords ON OTHER SITES... and you need to get btOpenreach guys to stop causing faults to get paid to come bk out.. their scammin you & sky with the building i live in and they've been told be my AND other residents.. yet it still goes on...
You need to WARN CUSTOMERS ASAP.. Hell.. even if you used a different Email on Other sites.. yet same password.. they'll get in at some stage.. because your name.. your D.O.B.. your location... and other info will be in big fat Dictionary text files for dictionary based attacks.
These people fire millions of passwords and millions of email addresses, each lock is like a pin board..
Remember Hotmail, Google, Yahoo accounts and Facebook accounts.. loads got hacked & spammed about a year "after eBay was hacked".. They be like don't panic.. paypal is a separate system it wasn't compromised.. yet their in ya email.. visit paypal.. hit forgot password.. email reset link.. All sites clearly need different passwords.. ALL of them..
this is a wild rant, probably grammar like im 5.. i don't care.. read it.. share it.. this is about TIME.. not grammar.. the message is important.. IF you ever been with TalkTalk (or Virgin Media) because WHO KNOWS exactly what Information Virgin passed to talk talk..
I was with virgin media on adsl.. they handed ME and my account to TalkTalk and did away with ADSL...
They say the hack was on the 21st of October 2015, police got involved on the 22nd, between the faffing & the lies tryna cover their a$$es THIS WHOLE BLOG POST APPLIES TO EVERY CUSTOMER RELATING TO THESE SERVICES
TalkTalk customer Prior to November 2015
Virgin Media "National ADSL" customer Prior to November 2015
Well first things first, as i said i gather they popped the Land Line database first, thats clearly the easiest as you no its 11 Numbers no more no less & no other characters.
So they'll ring around phishing for missing bank details AND any who know how its really done will want you to confirm your post code & your email (this could help them to unlock 2 or more other databases by knowing more of what should be inside)
Now they have your email.. they can spam that.. once they get your password a bot or an app of some kind will Log in and download your actual address book, another bot or app may hit sites & select forgot password and fire the email in. The account will get multiple emails from sites giving password reset info and options.. doors wide open now (secret words used as recovery options and all kinds of info that again may help decrypt whats inside a database) Some will just fire Spam to everyone in your address book (so it looks like u sent it) they may just use a bogus address or one from ur book and send it from them.. suddenly they think they have been hacked as people got spam off them, yet the spam was faked.
Some people can have the same password for 2 or 3 of thier email addresses, and they assume the hacker only have one email to attack.. But so many people get their address book robbed and spam crap that most our emails are on a list somewhere (taken from our porn surfing internet pals) and all these lists have new passwords thrown at them every day.. its automated..
Hackers will SELL chunks of data to random people.. depending on how skilled these people buying it are will depend on how much information they manage to gather before you become aware its a hoax call or hoax email. BUT IT DOESN'T MATTER...
Every bit of Info you confirm over the phone is information to look for Inside a stolen encrypted file, more 001010101 you can turn into Text then the faster the whole thing will flop open..
the Classic Automated call..
Hello we are calling about your recent car accident, any time during that call if you just say no it switches to a 2nd recording saying sorry for calling we'll take your number off our system.. LIE.. your umber will go onto a 2nd list.. ppi.. late flight.. what ever.. If you say YES how ever.. it may jump to a live operator in a random country.. thing is this is traceable.. Everything thats gone on "with TalkTalks database" has been Bought.. Some ones selling it & marketing companies are using it to pass you to a real company that handles claims.. Track the automated calls, Track where the call is bounced too.. Track the Expenses regarding the purchase of information being used by the place making the calls. Who paid them.. Who overhaul profits from it. IF at least 100+ people in call centres right down the chain aren't questioned on where they got all these numbers then Someone is in on it right?.. This is regardless of the people who phone and Pretend to be from talktalk.. THIS Apparently Unrelated... "have u been in a car accident phone calls" HAVE risen in the last 1 to 2 weeks.
(its clearly Related and info IE "phone numbers" have already been Sold....)
and thats BEFORE the bogus talktalk calls begun.. someone greedy dipped it early expecting not to get caught or noticed.. but clearly who ya dipped it for sold it on and on and on.. the calls became More Frequent and wide spread.. even to a number i can confirm only talktalk and my landlord have.. so one of ems guilty of that breach of information.. Anyways.. go fkn track the influx of cold calls.. its well spiked.. and thats the day the first database popped.. clearly ffs : /
People on facebook note the Number that called AND a second number given for verification.. has the Law seized them devices yet? after all they are MANUALLY operated.. you really think their cell to cell?, i actually doubt it.. we got fraud possibly leading to larger crimes.
The Ramifications are endless and TalkTalk.. (between this lack of public knowledge and washing their hands of the hack.. and the bt openreach problems) this is a Sham.. a diabolical way to run a company...
Someone needs to start making dating profiles on varied sites & live out your ideal fantasy in the About Me Box.. and start droppin these phone numbers in the profiles.. It'll make dialling out hell...
A mate rang me today about a pc being locked out after a phone call to a talk talk advisor who became abusive and locked them out.. then i looked on FB to see people chatting about this Yesterday.. saw the Guardian link Today when i googled.. and as a customer i remember the 2015 chaos.. and 2 & 2 makes 4.. unless ya work for talktalk... someone at talk talk should be reading this Guiding the police with Information.. if Customers have no issues with Incoming call lists going to the police.. they could have at least 30 people in custody.. or as talktalk say.. no less than 30
When 1000's of people ON TALKTALK get a call from someone stating their from talktalk
then its clear TalkTalk needs to accept responsibility that "who ever is ringing" got the numbers during the hack and/or work with police, customers.. records.. track it back..
Money taken It funds terrorism, illegal migration amongst other crap.. like DEATH...
Everyone at talktalk be like unplug it.. if its got a wire.. pull it.. we duno wtf is broke and what's not.. 1000's with no net.. thousands being ripped off.. hell im currently plugged into Tiscali for some reason and what they got to say...
MySpace has also recently been hacked, so in a few months that database will be out their too.. its like wtf..

Hong Kong Receive BMT Maritime Strategic Study
BMT Asia Pacific (BMT), a subsidiary of BMT Group Ltd, says it has completed a major strategic study - "Enhancing Hong Kong's Position as an International Maritime Centre (IMC)", undertaken on behalf of the Hong Kong Transport and Housing Bureau.
The study aims to plot a development roadmap and strategy that will enable Hong Kong to remain a successful IMC in an increasingly competitive region.
BMT explains that it conducted the IMC study utilising extensive industry engagement to examine the context and economic significance of Hong Kong's maritime cluster, as well as the key challenges facing Hong Kong as an IMC. The findings, which were recently made available to the public, include strategies to maximise the development potential of key maritime activities and service areas, in particular the "contestable" services, which have been targeted by competing IMCs.
Dr. Richard Colwill, Managing Director of BMT Asia Pacific comments: "Hong Kong has a rich maritime heritage and is home to a vibrant community of ship owners, ship managers and service providers engaged in a diverse range of activities spanning the industry. The maritime sector plays a vital role in the local economy and recognising its strategic value, governments across the region have taken an interest in developing similar clusters, requiring Hong Kong to maximise its competitive advantage."
Dr. Simon Su, Director and Chief Economist at BMT Asia Pacific and the study's manager continues: "Hong Kong's role as an IMC is expressly supported in China's 12th National Five Year Plan and by Hong Kong's Chief Executive, CY Leung, who recently reinforced his pledge to further strengthen the city's position by 'developing quality and international maritime services'. We are extremely pleased to have had the opportunity to apply our expertise and experience in the Asia Pacific market to develop timely recommendations for shaping a bright future for Hong Kong's maritime sector."

Wearing bright colours clothes is someone's personal choice. Some people love to wear bright colours and some prefer to stuck in black and white. If we talk about boys then there are some who love to wear all colours and rest wear only black, blue, white.
According to me, its totally dependable on my mood which color I gonna wear today.
In my opinion, color does matter. Wearing the right color is also as essential as choosing the right fit outfit for your self. To bold and bright colors are not for formal wear, they are usually worn during parties. Light and subtle colors are good for the summer season whereas dark colors are perfect for winters.

Playing metal with heavy sludge influences will inevitably bring comparisons to a certain seminal New Orleans band – slow, grimy music ridden with misery and frustration. This Boston group definitely invokes them, particularly the first part. The singer almost brings Mike William's sick vocals to mind but doesn't quite have as much of his bile spewing wretchedness and anger. He does still bring enough to make their sophomore album the uneasy listening experience that it should be. The Bad Road consists in large parts of torturous sludge but also has a few unexpected twists, like the jarring, angular noise rock of bands like Botch and the legendary Unsane, along with a few nods to their label chief's own band, Today is the Day.
The album is split into four acts, each with several different titles, and over 22 minutes Defcon 4 venture effortlessly from each s t y l e in each segment. After the first act's slow, doomy section, they venture into strange rhythmic drumming that is at first a tad disorientating, especially after the simplistic initial sludge groove, but once you get used to it, the section blends in very well and there is no doubt about the skill here. All the s t y l es that are blended into this brief album seem to be there for a reason, from the hardcore punk speed and the rock 'n' roll guitar shredding in "Act II…" to the off-kilter rhythms interspersed throughout the album.
Those into this kind of music will now that it's not to be listened to at the wrong time, since The Bad Road definitely does not carry any feel good elements. Even the guitar carries a certain dissonant and sombre tone, but you could do worse then adding Defcon 4 to your collection.

Once in a while someone comes along and creates something which is truly excellent and worth shouting about…Shaken Oak have created such a thing
Forget any mustard you've tasted in the past, the mustard rule book has been re-written.
We tried six of the mustards on offer and it's difficult to know which one to start with, we sampled the mustards with Musks original sausages.
My wife's favourite of the six we sampled was the Old Hookey Beer Mustard which was an amazing combination of popping mustard seeds, a mouthwatering hop flavour (one assumes from the beer) and cruchy yet smooth texture.
It was a tough call for me to decide which I liked the most and in the end it came down to the Mustard with Chillies which made an excellent sausage all the more tasty. There was initially a sweetness about it which was gently replaced by an (initially) subtle spicy flavour which gradually gave over to a strong spicy, sweetish, quality, lovely, mustard flavour. It is difficult to describe the flavour, absolutely out of this world.
We also tried; their Original Mustard which had a classic, warm, rich, home-made flavour. We tried their Hot and Smooth Mustard which was a mustard unrivalled for power but still mouthwateringly spicy. Also Tarragon Mustard, which had a wonderful fresh flavour which was light and distinctive and Arthurs Mustard which was tangy and sweetish with a devilish "after bite".

Maryland Lawmaker Wants To Criminalize "Revenge Porn"
A Maryland lawmaker wants to criminalize "revenge porn."
Wait … what's that?
"Revenge porn" is a term given to explicit photos, videos or other communications shared in public by angry ex-boyfriends/ husbands (or ex-girlfriends/ wives) after relationships go bad.
"They give their lover or their significant other a compromising picture of themselves, then the relationship ends, the trust is no longer there, and people post that information," Baltimore Democrat Jon Cardin told WBAL TV 11 (NBC – Baltimore)
Cardin wants to make the publication of "revenge porn" a felony punishable by a $25,000 fine or a five-year prison term – part of a nationwide movement to criminalize this practice.
And yes you read that right … "felony," "$25,000" and "five-year prison term."
"The goal is for us to change people's behavior," Cardin told the station.
Right … because when have government efforts to "change behavior" ever posed a problem?
Cardin's bill is one of many efforts across the nation to address "revenge porn," because God knows governments are always looking for new things to criminalize. It's also a centerpiece of his campaign for Attorney General of Maryland, an office that knows a thing or two about snapping pics.
Here's the thing: Unlike a lot of porn floating around the world wide web "revenge porn" is generally obtained with consent. Willing consent. And this process generally doesn't involve any legally binding prohibitions against the future dissemination of said material.
So … for some nanny stater to all of a sudden impose these draconian punishments on its purveyors strikes us as ludicrous.
There is a simple way to avoid the repercussions of "revenge porn" – namely, not making any porn for someone to use against you as revenge in the future. Seriously … it's that easy.
UPDATE: Here's an interesting middle-of-the-road take on the issue courtesy of Wired.

Energy Production
Sunny skies over Baltimore
The Office of Sustainable Energy is turning Baltimore into a source of local energy production. Baltimore has 1 MW of solar photovoltaic at Back River Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP). In 2014, this site produced 1.3 million kWh of electricity. There are 10 MW additional capability that will be sited for City government use starting in 2015.
Combined Heat and Power
Back River WWTP serves over 1.3 million residents in Baltimore City and Baltimore County. Beyond the solar, the plant has a 2 MW combined heat and power system that provides an average of 15 percent of the electric needed at Back River WWTP and captures heat to supplement the plant. The engines use biogas containing high levels of methane created by the digesters at the WWTP. This gas would otherwise be flared without any benefit.
The City used an Energy Performance Contract (see Energy Reduction) to finance the project – with net savings of over $3 million over the life of the contract.

Friday, May 20I Am The Treasurer - Part 3 Of 3.
I used to work with a good friend named Cameron. Cameron is, on the outside, the model of a perfect businessman. He's tall, handsome and speaks with purpose. He's married with 2.5 kids, consistently shows up to work in a nice suit and always walks around like he knows where he's going. Outside of work, he's a beer-brewing, BSG-watching, Carl Sagan-reading atheist nerd of the highest order. On the inside, Cameron and I are very similar. On the outside, we are very much not. Because of this, Cameron taught me something that I'll surely never experience: The Plight of the Unintentional Businessman.
Basically, the way Cameron explains it, people always assume he knows exactly what he's doing at all times, solely because he looks the part. People trust him with things they shouldn't, they confide in him with secrets he shouldn't know, and he's hundreds of times more likely to land a job than someone who looked more mediocre but shared the same exact attributes (he explained this in the most self-aware and humble way possible, I should add). Cameron understands that he's been given a gift from a God he doesn't believe in, and as long as he keeps his head down, flashes a smile and periodically makes a joke about golfing or his wife, he'll have a leg up on nearly every man that isn't over six feet tall.
For some reason, this weighs heavily on his conscience. Cameron is a complicated guy. That's why I like him.
He doesn't want to be a businessman. He wants to watch Smallville and talk about India Pale Ale and watch his kids grow up, not give lip service to smug assholes and vice-versa. It appears as if the very thing most men (like myself) would be jealous of may have pigeonholed Cameron from the start. I doubt he'd ever want to switch places with a guy like me, but now that I'm aware of the Plight of the Unintentional Businessman, I don't think I'd want to switch places with him, either. It doesn't sound very fun if it's something you generally don't want to be doing.
I suffer from the worst of both worlds. I don't look like I should be trusted with any responsibilities, yet everyone around me insists that I can because they know I refuse to fail. I don't make eye contact, I'm thin and short, I blend into a crowd with the greatest of ease and I look like a child when I'm wearing a suit. My glass ceiling ends at $40k a year, and I know this implicitly. Yet, I'm always trusted with things that should be deferred to guys that look like Cameron.
I don't look the part, I don't live the part and I'm certainly not paid the part, but I'm always given the part due to some weirdly positive reputation. Cameron could never go to a Sci-Fi convention, because he'd be mobbed (everyone would think he was Nathan Fillion). I could never lead a business meeting surrounded by millionaires, because they could smell the fraud on me from a mile away. Because of seemingly positive attributes, neither of us are able to do the things we truly want to do. Such woe.
I'm not going to bankrupt my Condo Association. I'm not going to send us spiraling into debt. I'm not going to blow our community surplus on a retro arcade or adults-only sauna, even though I look like the kind of person who would. I'm going to do my job, earn the $125/month stipend and once again accept another adult responsibility that I so often try to avoid at all costs. What started out as a chance to save some money has turned into yet another example that I am not nearly as much of a slacker sadsack as I claim to be.
For some reason, this weighs heavily on my conscience. I am a complicated guy. That's why you like me.
Wednesday, May 18I Am The Treasurer - Part 2 Of 3.
I am not an accountant. I do not have a degree in law. The only transferable skills would be my degree in Music Business, but unless someone on my street wanted to make sure they were getting their fair residuals on the album they recorded, I was of no assistance. I began to regret my decision almost immediately after being unanimously elected Secretary/Treasurer of my condo association (I ran unopposed, which should have been a red flag). However, my wife dangled the reward of no condo fees over my head like a carrot to a mule, and I kept quiet until the meeting was long over.
When I got home, I began psyching myself up for the task at hand. "How hard can it be?" I asked myself. "Just collect the dues checks, deposit them at the bank, and pay for bills and repairs as needed. I mean, who can't do that?"
"Then again, what if someone is late with their payment? Do I warn them? Fine them? Do I have the authority to do that? What if they tell me to go to hell? What if there's a revolt? What if a tornado hits and the association goes broke with repairs? What if I get ripped off? Hoodwinked? Will I go to jail? Why didn't these people care about their money?" Taking care of my own checkbook was stressful enough; handling the collective payments of 24 homesteads was more terrifying than I ever could have imagined, and I hadn't even done anything yet.
This past weekend, I arranged for the outgoing Secretary/Treasurer to come to my house, drop off his documents and spreadsheets, and give me a crash course in Condo Accounting 101. Dude was young and militant, kept good records and seemed blissfully unaware of how much of a thankless responsibility he perfectly maintained for the last 18 months. Or how quickly it could have all come crashing down.
When he showed me the bank statements, specifically that our association was currently $57,000 in the green, I shit my pants and told him to leave immediately. "See? It's fine," he assured me. "We have plenty of money. We get a lawn care bill every month, but the rest of the money is saved in case we need to do any sort of association-wide maintenance. This is seriously a three-hour-a-month job; you'll be fine."
The 'three-hours-a-month' stuff was fine with me; it was the intangibles I was concerned about. For example, one of our homeowners (not me) was fined $20 for violating a noise ordinance. Technically, the President can assess this fine per our bylaw manual, and technically, the delinquent in question has to write me a check within a certain time frame before I lawyer up and drop the hammer.
This was the sort of thing that freaked me out the most. If this guy decided to not do as he was told (and why would he?), would I really want to pursue legal action over $20? I didn't even know how to do such a thing. Furthermore, how often did stuff like this happen? Was I somehow unaware that I was living on a street full of malcontents, screwups and non-dues-payers? Was it going to be like pulling teeth each month to make sure everyone was following the rules? 20 bucks had suddenly become a very big deal.
"Remember, we're self-governing," he reminded me. "You don't really answer to anyone. You can't really screw up. You can't really go to jail as long as you follow the bylaws, and even those can be rewritten. If the people don't like the job you're doing, they'll just vote you out and do it themselves. But we know that's not seriously going to happen. Just take it easy; as long as you keep your head down, you're nearly untouchable."
He then shook my hand, handed me the key to the deposit box and exited my office.
In that moment, I understood Politics perfectly.
Monday, May 16I Am The Treasurer - Part 1 Of 3.
A little over three years ago, the Missus and I bought our first home (thanks to you), a suburban condo in the hills of beautiful Sun Prairie, Wisconsin. We went the condo route as a means of compromise; we wanted to own a home, but had little interest in yard work or gardening. A few phone calls and multiple bankruptcies later, it was all ours.
What I didn't realize at the time was that, as condo owners, we had to pay other people to handle all that icky outside stuff we didn't want to be burdened with. To the tune of $125 a month, each of the 24 condominiums on our street had to chip in for things like roof repair, snow shoveling, snow repair and roof shoveling. Furthermore, I also had no idea that us 24 condo owners acted as a self-elected government, writing checks, drafting bylaws and fining jackasses for being noisy. Almost a full year after purchasing a condo, I finally became aware of the mythical thing known as the Condo Association.
In the past, I never attended the meetings. I always figured these Town Hall affairs were nothing more than a soapbox for the loudest neighbor to bitch about dog poop and rainwater drainage. I was a good homeowner. I paid my fees on time, kept the place clean and approachable, and kept the orgies to an absolute minimum. My opinion and attendance was not necessary. Then I got an e-mail.
Apparently, every self-governing Condo Association needs an elected President, Vice-President and Secretary/Treasurer to make sure that everything is paid, balanced and handled. If a minimum of three people cannot be scrapped together, then we would legally need to hire an outside agency to handle our affairs for us, to the tune of…slightly more than the $125 a month we already paid for the luxury to do it ourselves. We were all going to meet to discuss it (in the cafeteria of the local middle school), and see if we couldn't rally enough troops to stay sovereign and DIY. This was a cause I could get behind.
Sitting amongst the 23 other homeowners at this meeting was, for the most part, the first time I ever really saw who my neighbors were. As you would assume, I'm not a very neighborly, social man. Don't get me wrong, I'll say hello to you if I happen to run into you when grabbing the mail or taking out the recycling, but you generally won't see the Missus and I sitting in the lawn or hosting block parties. We're not that sort of folk. Nonetheless, everyone in our Association seemed perfectly coherent, bipedal and willing to step up to the responsibility of keeping our street vibrant and self-sufficient.
Well, okay. Nobody wanted to do anything. The current Secretary/Treasurer and President were both resigning; the first due to personal circumstances he was unwilling to elaborate on, and the second because he was an asshole and nobody liked him (I was told this by no less than three different families). This left us with no members (we were operating without a Vice-President, which was already illegal), and no hands being raised when the time came to look for volunteers.
I could understand. We were all busy. We all had pending responsibilities. Morale was low. Finances were even lower. We all loved our street and our homes, but who among us had enough time in the day to devote to an unpaid, unappreciated task that hardly anyone knew about? Who was psychotic enough to become the sole point-of-contact for every complaint, superficial repair and dues check? Who had their life so completely in order that they willingly accepted another thankless chore?
"Whoever takes the Secretary/Treasurer job doesn't have to pay the $125 a month in condo fees," said the outgoing President.
"I'll take it!" I bellowed, practically leaping out of my seat. I sounded like Sideshow Mel; I even think my finger was pointed toward the heavens as I announced my eligibility.

15 May 2019
This past Monday evening, the California Montessori Project Governing Board unanimously approved the hiring of Brett Barley as CMP's new Executive Director/Superintendent. Brett's first official day will be July 1st (at that time I will assume a consulting role with CMP through August).
Brett comes from a family of educators, his wife is a teacher, and he is a former elementary school teacher. This past year Brett served as Superintendent of Wonderful College Prep Academy in the Central Valley. Prior to that he was a Deputy State Superintendent in Nevada and was a Vice President at StudentsFirst, national education advocacy organization in Sacramento. He's excited to return home to the Sacramento area with his wife and two boys (Brody who is 3 years old and Cal who is 1) and put them in CMP schools when the time is right.
He can't wait to meet the CMP team and get started (in fact, Brett and I will be visiting all of our CMP campuses this week to meet students and staff).
Thank you, in advance, for your warm welcome to Brett Barley, and, as always, thank you for the incredible support you have offered me these past 15 years.
Gary S. Bowman, M.S.Ed.

Conversations on weekend mornings in our house tend to run something along the lines of: Was there anything you wanted to do today? No, not really. Shall we go out? Yes. What shall we do? Don't mind. Where shall we go? Don't know. So we stay in. But yesterday, we made a decision! And we went out! To Hardcastle Crags, just north of Hebden Bridge, to see the trees in all their Autumn glory.

Plenty of water in the streams after the rain last night
In knitting type stuff news, I have been mostly huffing and grumbling under my breath. I decided to make something for a friend and the 'pattern' if it can be called that, is a nightmare. I am subbing a yarn, which I am quite familiar with the pitfalls of, but even including for that, it is the most, erm, *grumbles under breath* piece of *grumble grumble* ever. I eventually abandoned trying to follow it and started making it up as I go along. When I'm finished I shall post my version of the pattern, that will be as much use. It will be a picture of the thing with 'make something that looks like this' written underneath. *Grumble*

If you've been thinking about a career in UX, now is definitely the time to get started.
Demand for UX professionals has risen massively in many territories including Europe, the US and Australia. And as demand far outstrips supply, UX salaries have increased as companies compete to find those with the right skills and experience.
UX provides excellent opportunities to those working in it to progress relatively quickly with their career development if they show talent and have the right mindset.
We take a look at the current demand for UX professionals and the salaries they can expect to earn.
Demand for UX professionals has never been greater
After digital product designer, UX designer comes in as the second most in-demand role for 2019 according to the Onward Search Digital, Creative and Marketing Professionals Salary Guide. UI designer comes in at number three and user researcher appears at number fourteen on the list.
Interestingly, many of the top ten in-demand roles in the list typically involve some element of UX knowledge.
"The best websites and apps have a common theme – they're easy to use and understand," says Ken Clark, CEO of Onward Search. "And that's why demand is consistently on the rise for UX designers and other professionals in this field."
It's a situation familiar to recruitment companies around the globe.
Dara Boland, who is Principal Consultant – UX at Morgan McKinley, says the growth in demand has been noticeable during the past five years but there has been a particularly sharp rise in demand for UX designers in the past 12-18 months.
"Business is backing design and is investing more and more in UX," he says. "Companies of all shapes and sizes, across all industries are seeking out the digital opportunities afforded to them by UX. Resulting from this, we have witnessed a surge in jobs in the space and a talent war is well underway, as companies try and secure limited personnel.
"The demand has both come from companies looking to set up larger scale design teams (in some cases, 20 to 30 people) and from companies with no previous design culture beginning to appreciate the need for at least 1-2 talented UX designers on site."
John Dennehy, Founder and Executive Chairman of Zartis, an IT recruitment company, agrees that demand for UX professionals has increased significantly in recent years and uses Ireland as a good example of this.
"A lot of multinationals that started in Ireland with sales and support teams have realised there's a very strong local pool of creative and technical experts. As a result, more software projects are being owned and built out of Ireland. UX is obviously an essential part of this process."
"The indigenous software sector is also thriving, creating even more demand. Finally, more corporates are building out 'digital transformation' projects and one of the first needs that arise out of this are UX skills. It's a good time to be in UX."
How big is the demand for UX professionals?
In a fast-changing recruitment environment, it can be hard to quantify exactly how big the demand for UX professionals is. However, a report from Hired.com entitled Mind the Gap: A Report on the UK's Technology Skills Landscape recorded a 289% increase in requests for UX interviews. The report commented that "Market appetite for these skills is far outstripping supply today."
In 2017, Adobe spoke to 500 managers and department heads working in UX design and asked them about their needs and hiring priorities.
Some 87% of those surveyed said that hiring more UX designers was the top priority for the organisation, higher than graphic designers and product managers, and tying with software developers for the top hiring spot.
A huge 73% of managers said they planned to double the number of UX designers in their organisation in the next five years. And many had already started hiring heavily in this field – 63% of managers had hired five or more UX designers in the previous year and 40% of managers were expecting to double their total number of UX designers in the coming year.
Employers are struggling to find UX professionals
"UX is one of the most difficult roles for companies to fill," says John Dennehy. "There is a shortage of experienced professionals so demand is currently outstripping supply. Many internal and agency recruiters struggle to fill UX roles because there's a knowledge gap in terms of what UXers do, how do you assess them, and how do you even find them. As a result, many UX roles remain unfilled."
Dara Boland agrees that employers are struggling to find the right candidates.
"There is a lack of 'ready for work' UX talent available, a notable skills shortage. As such, competition is high amongst hiring parties who are trying to hire UX professionals at all levels. This is most notable at the mid to senior experience level.
"However, the struggle can be really dependent on the company and the employment brand. Businesses with no previous user experience culture in place tend to be more open to people coming from a variety of backgrounds, provided they can show solid experience and are a good cultural fit. Other companies, as a result of a more design-focused culture of specific industry needs, may place more demanding requirements on candidates."
Some UX roles are particularly in demand
The Prosperity Digital and Technology Salary Report and Survey in 2019 noted that as Digital Economy jobs reach full employment, competition has increased significantly for candidates. This has put pressure on salaries and while salaries have generally increased by about 5% over the last year, some skills are seeing increases to the extent that there are often bidding wars for candidates, including specific roles in UX.
John Dennehy says,
"Mid-level UX professionals with mobile experience and SaaS are particularly in demand. There seems to be a particular pain point in Ireland for candidates with good creative, technical and communications skills coupled with five to ten years' SaaS experience."
Dara Boland says,
"UX is a growing industry, with increasing numbers of candidates looking to break into it. But the number of seasoned UX professionals is still quite small (relative to demand). UX researchers are incredibly scarce, partly owing to the fact that there have traditionally been few dedicated roles in the area."
In terms of key UX skills, he says visual design remains sought after along with interaction design and usability skills. And there has been a notable increase in product oriented roles.
"Employers now understand the intricacies and different roles within UX. Still, it is commonplace that UX employees play multi-faceted roles," says Dara.
UX salaries are being pushed up due to the skills gap
It's a case of the law of supply and demand – when you have low supply and high demand, the price of something will increase.
So with their skills in demand and a lack of supply in the market, UX professionals can expect to command higher prices for their services.
"UX salaries are increasing year on year," says Dara Boland. "We expect this trend will continue. Because of the talent war, we often witness larger companies inflating mid level salaries to levels that can make other roles uncompetitive."
John Dennehy says, "UX was, for many years, the poor cousin of software development in terms of pay. Today, UX developers are generally paid at least as much as full-stack or back-end developers."
It's something that recruitment agency CPL reflected on in its most recent Salary Guide, in terms of the Dublin technology sector:
"There is a huge requirement in Dublin for UX/UI designers across both contract and permanent. Due to the shortage of these profiles, salaries are quite high."
What can UX-ers expect salary wise?
Several career websites put together salary guides for the UX field. In terms of the US, Indeed lists the average yearly salary for a UX designer as $96,381. And the average yearly salary for a UI designer is $88,609 (these salary guides are updated regularly).
According to Glassdoor's 50 Best Jobs in America 2018 report, a UX designer's median base salary is $90,000 while a UI developer comes in at $95,000.
The Onward Search Salary Guide 2019 shows a UX designer salary ranging from $76,600 to $113,500 (average salary $95,050). Salaries for a user researcher range from $67,300 to $93,700 (average salary $80,500) and a UX/UI Manager can command between $98,400 and $151,200 (average salary $124,800).
It's a similar story with the Creative Group Salary Guide 2018. A UX designer salary ranges from $77,400 to $114,700, UX researchers can expect between $70,500 and $96,200 and UX manager salaries range from $99,700 to $153,300.
When it comes to Dublin, Ireland, UX designers can command a very enticing salary. According to the 2019 Prosperity Digital and Technology Salary Report and Survey, a UX/UI designer with three years or less experience will typically be on a salary ranging from €35-40K. Someone with three to five years experience will jump up to €45-55K and someone with five plus years of experience will be on €60K+.
It's clear that salaries for UX roles are highly attractive, particularly as you gain in experience and move up the UX ladder. Just one more reason why now is the right time to make the move into a UX career.

Born in Dartford, Kent, England, on December 18, 1943, Richards grew up around music. His maternal grandfather was a member of a jazz band and his mother introduced him to the music of Louis Armstrong, Billie Holiday and Duke Ellington, and bought him his first acoustic guitar. He knew Jagger as a child in primary school, but had moved away from his old neighborhood and lost contact with his old friend until the early Sixties when the two bumped into each other on a train. By then Richards was attending art school, where he had discovered the American blues of artists like Little Walter and Big Bill Broonzy.
Richards and Jagger realized they shared similar musical interests and in 1962 formed the Rolling Stones along with fellow blues enthusiast Brian Jones. The combination of Richards' raw attack and interwoven rhythms and leads with Jones provided the fire behind Jagger's bluesy vocals on early Stones songs, mostly covers of rock & roll and R&B hits like Chuck Berry's "Come On" and Marvin Gaye's "Can I Get a Witness," and later workouts with subsequent Stones guitarists Mick Taylor and Ron Wood on classics like 1972's "Tumbling Dice" and 1981's "Start Me Up."
With Jagger, Richards has written some of the most recognizable songs in rock & roll including "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction," "Honky Tonk Woman," and "Jumping Jack Flash," and he is the vocalist on a string of Stones classics including "Happy" and "You Got the Silver."
Beginning in the late 1960s, Richards began collaborating with other musicians, most notably as bassist of supergroup the Dirty Mac, which included Richards on bass along with Eric Clapton, John Lennon, Yoko Ono, and Jimi Hendrix Experience drummer Mitch Mitchell; their sole performance came in the Stones' 1968 Rock & Roll Circus TV special.
A longtime fan of American country and roots music, Richards also spent time in the late Sixties with country-rock pioneer Gram Parsons, who inspired Richards to write more country- and folk-based melodies like that of "Wild Horses," from the Stones 1971 albumSticky Fingers. In the mid- to late-1970s he played on Faces (and future Stones) guitarist Ron Wood's three solo albums — I've Got My Own Album to Do (1974), Now Look (1975) and Gimme Some Neck (1979) — and toured the U.S. as part of Wood's late-Seventies band the New Barbarians.
In 1978 he released a solo single, featuring covers of Chuck Berry's "Run Rudolph Run" and Jimmy Cliff's "The Harder They Come." In the Eighties and Nineties, Richards appeared on album credits as player or producer for such non-Stones-related artists as Tom Waits, George Jones, Aretha Franklin, Ronnie Spector and reggae singer Max Romeo. In 1986 Richards led the all-star band that backed Chuck Berry in the contentious documentary and performance film Hail! Hail! Rock 'n' Roll.
Long committed to the Stones, Richards was reluctant to do solo albums until 1988, when Jagger put the Stones on hold to focus on his own solo work. Richards' Talk is Cheap(Number 24, 1988) yielded the Number Three mainstream rock hit "Take It So Hard." The guitarist then hit the road with his band the X-pensive Winos, and three years later released a document of that tour, Live at the Hollywood Palladium, December 15, 1988; it was supplemented with Stones songs including "Happy." The following year Richards released his only other solo album, Main Offender, which reached Number 99.
Richards' personal life has been the topic of much rumor and speculation over the years due to his substance abuse and run-ins with the law. He's been arrested five times since 1967, the most serious of which came in 1977 when he was found with 22 grams of heroin in Canada. The charge was reduced to simple possession and he was given a suspended sentence and ordered to perform a benefit concert and undergo treatment. He's been romantically linked to two women: actress Anita Pallenberg, with whom he has three children between 1967 and 1979: Marlon and Angela; a third child died shortly after birth. In 1979 he began a romantic relationship with model Patti Hansen, whom he married in 1983. They have two daughters: Theodora and Alexandra.

- "When Aegon the Conqueror landed in Westeros, the Queen Regent of the Vale shut the Bloody Gate against the Targaryens and massed the knights of the Vale behind it to lock it. But Visenya simply flew her dragon to a balcony of the Eyrie where the boy king was playing and gave the boy a ride around the castle... in return for his mother's submission."
- ―Petyr Baelish
Sharra Arryn was the widow of a King of Mountain and Vale and the Queen Regent of Kingdom of Mountain and Vale, ruling in the name of her son Ronnel Arryn, at the time of the War of Conquest.
Queen Sharra was alongside her son when Visenya Targaryen flew to the Eyrie demanding submission. Ronnel bent the knee to Aegon the Conqueror and surrendered the Kingdom of the Mountain and the Vale in exchange for a ride atop Vhagar.[1]
In the books
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, it is unknown to which house Sharra Arryn was born. She was regarded as the most beautiful woman in Westeros.
When Aegon made his intentions known to the Kings of Westeros, Queen Sharra, who was ten years older than Aegon, sent him a portrait of her and a marriage proposal with the condition he made her son his heir. Aegon refused (quipping that he already had two wives and needed no more), prompting the Vale to resist the invasion. At the Battle of Gulltown, Visenya Targaryen was defeated, but she managed to burn the Arryn fleet. Rather than join the alliance of the Kingdom of the Reach and the Kingdom of the Rock, Sharra adopted a siege strategy, closing the Bloody Gate and positioning her land armies to massacre the Targaryen army if it tried to force the mountain pass. The result was that the strength of the Vale was not present at the Field of Fire.
Nevertheless, by the time Sharra returned to the Eyrie she found Visenya already there, with King Ronnel sitting on her lap, asking his mother if he could take a ride on Vhagar – who was perched on a nearby battlement. The implicit threat of her son being held by Visenya was enough to make Sharra surrender. After exchanging pleasantries, she promptly and politely brought the crowns of the Vale to Visenya, who then took Ronnel for his ride.

I am a doctoral candidate in the Faculty of Information and Media Studies at The University of Western Ontario, London, Canada. I am also an Assistant Professor (on study leave) in the Department of Information Science and Library Management at the University of Dhaka—the largest and oldest public university in Bangladesh. I hold two Masters in Library and Information Science—one from the University of Dhaka and other from the three European universities in Norway, Estonia, and Italy (Erasmus Mundus program). My doctoral study seeks to understand the transitional information practices of immigrants in Canada and the role of information in their Canadian lives, looking in particular at the information practices that occur between pre-arrival and after arrival information needs and seeking related to settlement into Canada. I am one of the ASIS&T (SIG-III) international paper contest winners of 2004. I am also the current Chair of the International Graduate Student Issues Committee (IGSIC) of SOGS at Western. My research revolves around information practices, the role of information in society, digital inclusion, public libraries, and open access. I am teaching LIS 9375: Public Library Services for Newcomers and Immigrants in the Fall 2019.

With over forty miles of glistening coastline, almost 300 sunny days out of the year, AND a burgeoning tech scene — it's not too hard to guess why Coding Dojo is opening its 10th location in the 'citrusy' heart of Southern California: Orange County.
Our Coding Dojo Orange County campus will open in just a few short weeks in Costa Mesa, CA with the very first cohort starting Jan. 22. Lead instructor Daniel — Danny for short — Rivera, is so excited to start teaching at our newest campus, "The potential is huge."
"Orange County is second in the country for diversity when it comes to tech — and that's a span of aerospace to software to startups, there's a really great start-up community there and it's growing," explains Danny. "I love that we're very diverse so we can apply that diversity to our students and be able to better serve them.
With five of our Alumni already holding engineering positions at the Internet of Things company TensorIot, Coding Dojo roots have already begun to grow deep in OC. Moreover, prominent companies in the tech industry like Mophie, Blizzard, and Mavenlink are all headquartered in OC.
"One of the most popular companies, Blizzard Entertainment, we actually already have some alumni there," remarks Danny. "And being in the heart of this tech-centric region will only bring more opportunities for our graduates to land positions at these prominent companies."
The new campus is notable in and of itself — a space Coding Dojo will share with the Los Angeles Chargers, where students will be able to catch views of football team's practice field.
"The building we're in is called The Hive," explains Danny. "It's state of the art, and up to the 'tech-standard' so to speak. There are gyms, a coffee shop, and outside patio with ping-pong tables and beautiful courtyard. When it was being remodeled a year ago, they wanted to make it very forward-thinking; they ended up installing bikes you can ride around for a day and bring them back. The amenities are definitely great."
Ultimately, Coding Dojo is most excited for the prospect of serving a new diverse set of students, in a new region, where opportunities are waiting to happen. "I'm so excited to email everyone on our list and let them know that we're opening!" exclaimed Danny.
Course dates are set for January and February, and they're filling up fast. To join Coding Dojo at our state-of-the-art OC Campus this winter season, apply right away!
