X-Team Review: Is X-Team Worth It For Hiring?
About 23% of small businesses fail because they don't have the right team. Adding a new team member isn't always a practical solution due to the investment of time and resources needed to hire the right person, which is why a lot of businesses opt for outsourcing.
Freelance hiring boards such as Upwork, Fiverr, and Online Jobs tend to have a mix of experts. Some specialize in copywriting, text editing, marketing, film production, video editing, and more.
These freelance platforms are convenient options, but there are instances where a specialized platform would be a better fit. X-Team presents itself as a solution for entrepreneurs seeking to add a tech-savvy member to their team.
For hiring developers, check out Toptal, Lemon.io, and Codementor.
How X-Team works
Developers from across the world apply to work for X-Team. The company looks at the developer's resume and performance on specific tests before hiring them to be a part of the team. Thus, the company's developers are curated to be some of the best in the field.
The company allows you to hire from their team of highly trained, accomplished, and skilled developers. You can think of X-Team acting as the middle man between your company and the freelance developers. This platform helps you save time and puts you in touch with high-quality developers for your company.
X-Team prioritizes the skill set and expertise developers can offer your team. The company mostly works on web and mobile platforms, but they provide other services as well. In all, the company's developers do the following:
Mobile or app
Data science or AI
You can also find developers with expertise in these areas:
X-Team invests heavily in helping the developers they hire, which sets it apart from other developer freelance boards. Such personalized care allows the company's developers to achieve their professional development goals. These training opportunities mean that the developers have more to bring to the table.
The application process to hire a developer is simple. You can find it by scrolling to the bottom of the website, no matter what page you're on. Just enter your name, what company you're affiliated with, and how you learned about X-Team to get started.
Each X-Team developer picked for your project is tailored to suit your needs. Once you describe the project, a technical manager chooses the perfect developer for your company based on the following criteria:
Your timezone preference
The developer's skills and expertise
Budget preference
Developer's personality and culture fit
X-Team prefers for its developers to join your company for a longer period. The minimum contract duration is three months, so you have to make sure that you have the budget and workload needed to hire them for that long. If you have a project that you think would only take two weeks of work to do, you should consider other options.
What separates X-Team from other platforms?
The company might not be on the top of many freelance developer lists. Here's how it differs from the top competitors.
When you Google "hire freelance developer," Toptal is one of the first companies to show up. They also rank high on review lists for the best freelance developer platforms.
Toptal is similar to X-Team in many ways. Both hire expert freelancers and connect them to clients. The two also personalize matching developers to clients based on culture, time zone, and other features relevant to your company.
So you might be wondering why you should work for X-Team instead of the more popular Toptal. Here are the main differences between the two:
Toptal mainly works with name-brand clients. The University of Southern California, the Cleveland Cavaliers, and Airbnb are just a few of the clients Toptal has worked with. Toptal tends to work for larger companies, whereas X-Team works with companies of all sizes.
Toptal requires a $500 upfront payment. The money will be credited toward the first invoice and refunded if you decide not to pursue the project. X-Team doesn't require an upfront fee, and you'll instead pay the developer directly.
Coding Ninjas
Like X-Team and Toptal, Coding Ninjas also curates a high-quality team of freelance developers. Coding Ninjas matches you with developers one at a time to facilitate strong relationships from the get-go.
This website's payment system is a downside since it's a bit odd and confusing. It's based on a credit system; you can think of it as a prepaid card. You need to have credits in your account before you can start a project with a developer.
It's unclear if you can hire a full-time developer with Coding Ninjas. Their FAQ page states that you need to have 40 hours in your account at the beginning of the week. This requirement can be confusing if you're new to using Coding Ninjas.
Coding Ninjas also differs from X-Team in that...
Most (96%) of Coding Ninja developers are located in Eastern Europe. This means you'll have to deal with the time zone difference unless you're also located there. X-Team's developers are located in 30 countries around the world, making it more likely that you'll find a developer in your time zone.
X-Team offers more development services. Coding Ninjas mainly provides services in JavaScript, Python, RoR, Data Science, Blockchain, Java, SWIFT, WordPress, HubSpot, Shopify, PHP, HTML/CSS, according to their website. X-Team offers a wider range of specialties.
You might wonder why you should work with X-Team since there are more popular choices with more reviews. We'll cover this more thoroughly in the next section, but the most significant difference between X-Team and other platforms is that the former invests heavily in its developers. It's difficult to find freelance developers who have access to the same kind of professional development opportunities anywhere else.
X-Team praise and pros
The company's internal culture sets it apart from other freelance developer platforms. Biz Stone, Twitter's co-founder, praised the company because of how its "developer-first" model benefits both its partners and developers. You can also see this from the Unleash+ membership the company offers its freelancers.
X-Team focuses its attention on making the developers happy, stimulated, and challenged, which in turn leads them to produce better products for partners. The company's employees can gain access to conferences, books and other educational material to help them grow their skills. All of this translates to improving your company.
X-Team has an impressive array of developers who have made apps and websites for major entertainment, media, and hospitality companies. Some such companies include FOX Broadcasting, RIOT Games (creator of League of Legends), and Kaplan.
Aleksandr Volodarsky, the CEO and founder of Coding Ninjas, is an expert in the field of freelance developer programs, as he created one himself. He says that X-Team offers services that can compete with Toptal. X-Team also gives perks to its developers, enticing them to do the best job possible.
X-Team developers can work full-time and are scalable. Scalability means that you can hire different developers with more advanced skills as a project progresses. It could also entail having one developer work on increasingly more complex tasks for your company.
X-Team is not only concerned with forming long-term relationships with its developers but with your company as well. It doesn't want your relationship with them to end once the project is over. This platform genuinely cares about your success and wants to become a long-term partner.
Finally, the company offers case studies describing the work X-Team did for different clients. They only have three listed on their website (Kaplan, Fox Broadcasting, and Fox Sports), but each describes the projects enlisted and how X-Team helped the partner company grow.
X-Team complaints and cons
The drawback first is that X-Team reviews from business owners are rare. They don't have a single comment on the popular review platform Trustpilot. As a result, it's difficult to see what it's like to work with one of their developers due to limited testimonials. Most X-Team reviews are from developers who tried to work there complaining about the hiring process.
The lack of reviews could be due in part to the fact that X-Team seems to focus on developer growth first and partner relations second. But it's frustrating if you want to know what you're getting into before you hire a developer.
If you look for information on the Q&A site Quora, you will notice that many comments positively reviewing X-Team are from Ryan Chartrand, the company's CEO and founder. It's hard to find in-depth reviews of the company from diverse sources.
Therefore, if you're trying to make an informed decision on which freelance developer platform to use, X-Team's sparse reviews could steer you toward more popular platforms.
The second complaint involves the opaqueness of how much projects are going to cost before finding a developer. There's nothing on the X-Team website that lists a ballpark range of prices for services, as opposed to Toptal and Coding Ninja's websites.
You can only see a developer's rates once you've been connected with them. Any estimate of how much an X-Team developer will cost is second-hand information.
Thirdly, there's not much flexibility in the timescale in which developers will join your team. You'll typically have to wait 1-3 weeks for its developer to start working for you, and they're expected to be full-time. Part-time gigs are possible for the short-term, as X-Team wants part-time jobs to develop into full-time positions.
Other freelance platforms offer hourly and part-time positions, so you can test out developers before fully adding them to your team. While X-Team vets its developers, it might feel like a leap of faith to hire a freelancer full-time on your team without giving them smaller projects first.
Finally, X-Team's developers skills are limited to the field of computer sciences. Toptal connects you with designers, finance experts, product managers, and project managers in addition to developers. If you're hoping to hire multiple team members from the same platform or one team member to do multiple jobs, X-Team isn't for you.
Overall, the company seems to be focused on supporting their developers, to the detriment of helping clients seeking to hire those developers. This is most notable in that you have to use review sites, forums, and other secondary sources to find price estimates while other platforms make this information easy to find on their website.
If you feel X-Team is not right for you...
Check out our list of X-Team alternatives.
X-Team pricing — What's X-Team's fee structure?
We found from a review website that X-Team developer rates tend to stay around $40-$50 per hour. Using that estimate, it could cost you $86,000 a year to hire one of their developers full-time.
You can negotiate with X-Team's account and technical managers to find a way for the developer to work part-time. Once again, though, the company tends to prefer partners to employ their developers full-time and at-least for three months.
You will probably find cheaper developers on websites such as Upwork, Fiverr, and Freelancer, but they're not specially curated by the freelance platform to have the best developers. Paying a bit more for an adequately trained and skilled developer can save your company time and headaches in the future.
Is X-Team worth it for hiring?
If you want to build long-term relationships with productive and highly accomplished developers, X-Team is for you. Each developer is vetted to assess their skills and expertise before joining the platform. Once they do, the company motivates them to do the best job possible for clients.
The company focuses on ensuring its developers remain motivated and engaged by providing professional development opportunities. By doing so, X-Team ensures that you will work with developers who can help you achieve your goals.
Each developer is selected for you based on their timezone, skill set, industry expertise, and personality. Keep in mind that you need to have the budget for a long-term hire and the workload to justify it.
Overall, X-Team is a great option for entrepreneurs who don't want to cut corners and are willing to invest in quality freelancers. Once you get past the transparency barriers and find a developer who's right for your company, they'll probably be the last developer you'll have to hire.

Hublot Launches Big Bang Unico TMT With Floyd "Money" Mayweather
By Deyvanshi Masrani | February 12, 2018
Tagged: Big Bang Unico TMT, Floyd "Money" Mayweather, Hublot, Hublot USA
In an epic collaboration between luxury Swiss watch brand, Hublot, and 50-0 champion boxer Floyd "Money" Mayweather, two, exquisite new Big Bang Unico TMT timepieces were launched. Hundreds of fans gathered outside the Hublot boutique in Crystals, Las Vegas, to catch a glimpse of Mayweather himself, who joined global CEO Ricardo Guadalupe and managing director at Hublot USA, Jean-Francois Sberro, to announce the exciting launch.
"Everyone knows I'm crazy about mechanical beauties, especially sparkling watches," began Mayweather, as an impressive, 15-second Hublot X Mayweather visual played on repeat on the Branded Cities billboard—one of the largest billboards in the world, spanning the length of a football field—on the Las Vegas strip. "I'm truly proud to see the letters TMT x Hublot glittering on top of my watch. This timepiece means a lot to me. It symbolizes my career, my unbeaten 50-0 record and my last fight when I made history!"
It's no secret that Mayweather has been an ambassador to the brand for a few years now, beginning in 2015 during his historic bout versus Manny Pacquiao, in what was dubbed the "fight of the century." Since then, the superstar athlete has donned an unmissable ode to the brand, with large HUBLOT lettering, embellished on his shorts. The partnership makes sense, as both Hublot and Mayweather are undeniably, champions in their respective fields.
"It's an honor for us to be associated with the Noble Art's legend of legends," said Guadalupe. "A champion who, in taking his 50th victory, holds the discipline's record. 'The Best Ever!' 50 victories, no defeats, absolute mastery of an art that requires fighting spirit, bravery, self-transcendence, a sense of honor and keen tactical sense. Avoiding punches, and landing precise, clean and powerful ones, without any doubt, round after round, fight after fight. It's the perseverance that makes all the difference. A champion in our image 'first, unique, different!'"
The five-time world champion's signature gold coloring is an eye-catching feature for both watches. For the case and bezel, 3N-18-karat gold-encrusted carbon fiber is used, which has manually-inserted gold powder in each layer. The acronym, "TMT" (Mayweather's famous "The Money Team" phrase) in appliqué is prominently displayed at 12 o'clock, while the sapphire case at the back reads his other famous acronym, "TBE," or, "The Best Ever."
Only 100 of these watches have been made, while only 10 pieces have been made of the super haute second limited-edition piece, which is set entirely in 3N gold with 48 baguette-cut diamonds and 378 brilliant-cut diamonds, weighing a total of 4.85 carats. Both are manufactured in-house and use Hublot's signature self-winding, flyback movement with a column wheel, have a 72-hour power reserve and a strap made from black rubber, calf leather and python, with gold-hued studs. When purchased, the special timepieces are delivered with a boxing glove signed by Mayweather.
The gorgeous timepieces are of course, a huge win for both Hublot and Mayweather. Does that now change 'Money's' record to 51-0?

Rain On Your Parade
23 January 2007 - Kamikaze Trio - French Lick & Dutch Treats
The Kamikaze Trio head off to Europe in May for a solid round of gigs in Netherlands/France/Sweden/Germany/Belgium. We hope the Dutch like the band because they're going to play nine gigs in the Netherlands alone.
All confirmed gigs have been added to the touring section.
The new, still untitled, alum is almost complete and will be released on In-Fidelity asap.
25 October 2006 - Kamikaze Trio - French Lick
The Kamikaze Trio members have spent most of 2006 involved in a myriad of other/side-projects (Spencer P. Jones, Digger & The Pussycats, Russian Roulettes, Group Seizure, etc.).

Welcome, fellow vapers, to Blackhouse Vapor Co.'s inaugural blog! We are incredibly excited to share this resource with you, and hope that you find it to be informative! Today's topic is a how-to on the ins-and-outs of proper Vaping; After all, we were all newbies to this at one point!
To that end, the following is a list of steps to help get you up and vaping like a champion in no time!
Picking the right device is enormously important to having an enjoyable vaping experience. Always pick the device that speaks to you personally, but keep a few things in mind. If you are brand-new to vaping, it is recommended that you invest in a solid, user-friendly vape device; preferably an entry-level electronic mod that comes with in-unit regulation, variable temperature and wattage control. Look for extra features that will increase the mod's safety, like internal over-charge protection or reverse-battery protection.
If you are a more experienced vaper, it is recommend that you look for high-performance features to really take your vape experience to the next stage. Things like super-sub-ohm capability, high-quality chipsets and bypass/TC modes will be what you are looking for on regulated mods. However, if you have made the jump to fully mechanical mods, you will want to be looking for high-quality build materials, attention to craftsmanship, design innovation and extra features. Ideally, you will want to pick up a mod that is made of highly conductive materials (close-to-pure silver or copper is best). Lastly, you'll want to do your best make sure that your mechanical mod is AUTHENTIC, and not a cloned device. Clones are not made to the same demanding standards as their authentic counterparts, and can range from being generally sub-par quality to out-right dangerous.
At Blackhouse, we make sure to consistently stock a wide range of vaping devices: From user-friendly, low maintenance beginner mods to top-of-the line, ultra-high performance mechanicals, we make sure we have the device for your individual skill level and knowledge base!
There are two main types of vaping liquids; propylene glycol (PG) based, and vegetable glycol (VG) based liquid. The first carries more flavor and is thinner, and usually contains some level of nicotine (which can be scaled up or down based on personal preference). PG liquids are ideal for when you are trying to quit smoking, as they allow you to enjoy plenty of robust flavor while offering a high range of nicotine options; this allows the user to start at a level close to what they are used to from analog smoking devices then gradually work their way to juice with lower levels of nicotine (or even nicotine-free juice).
VG liquids are more viscous and produce denser, more voluminous clouds of vapor . They do not carry flavor quite as well as PG-dominant juices, but their flavors tend to be clearer and more true in taste to their real-life counterparts. This is ideal for when you want to experience the sheer enjoyment of playing around with large clouds of vapor (let's be honest, it's just plain fun)! People who formerly smoked lots of hookah will probably find PG liquids more to their liking, for example, as it produces a similar amount of cloud without the rough throat-hit.
Blackhouse Vapor proudly makes and carries it's own line of house-developed e-liquids. All of our e-juices are Max VG and are designed to deliver clear, full-bodied flavor in addition to superior cloud production.
Each vape device generally has a reservoir or tank which is filled up with e-liquid. If you have a brand-new device, make sure that there are no foreign particles or dust in the tank before filling it up, and make sure to check your atomizers for any debris. If you are refilling a tank, always fill it up with the same general type of liquid ( fruit liquid to another fruit liquid, cake liquid to another cake, etc). This will ensure that your flavor don't become muddled or cross-contaminated.
Get used to all the controls of the vape device before firing it up by thoroughly examining the user manual, or ask an experienced vaper to assist you. This will ensure you don't ruin your first experience, and more importantly your vape device. Additionally, set the temperature/wattage (if applicable) to the lowest recommended setting for your first vape- This way you can scale up to your preferred amount of vapor production. If you ever wonder what the range of your tank is, check on the sides of your atomizer. It is a common practice these days for tank makers to laser-engrave the devices' ideal watt range directly onto their atomizers.
Put one finger on the fire button without pressing it and bring the drip-tip/mouthpiece to your mouth.
Press the fire button and simultaneously inhale at an even pace, to ensure smooth mouth-to-lung vapor travel. Inhaling too quickly can result in an inadequate pull, and inhaling too slowly can result in a overly-dense hit, which leads to coughing fits. Go at your own pace here, every person experiences this differently!.
Release the fire button when you are reaching the max capacity of your lungs and take your mouth off the mouthpiece.
Exhale from your diaphragm, and savor the delicious flavor!
Congratulations, you now know how to vape! Stay tuned to the Blackhouse Facebook and Instagram for more informative posts, product and flavor reviews, and sweet giveaways!


The Gibraltar National MuseumUnderwater Research Unit (URU) carries out research on Gibraltar's submerged natural and cultural heritage. It has been carrying out a systematic, detailed visual survey of the seabed around the Rock since September 2000 when volunteers from the Gibraltar National Museum and the Joint Services Sub-Aqua Diving Club BS-AC 317S (JSSDC) commenced a survey of the caves to the north of the Ammunition Jetty on the east side of the Rock. Since then the URU has made an inventory of wrecks and other archaeological artefacts, as part of the database of heritage monuments, fortifications and buildings that the Gibraltar National Museum is compiling.
The URU works closely with the Nautical Archaeology Society (NAS) to preserve our archaeological heritage in the marine environment, by acting as a focus for coastal and marine archaeology. Work on a World War II wreck of an armed trawler, known locally as the 'Inner-and-Outer', was recognised in 2003 with the first 'Adopt-a-Wreck' Award being bestowed on the URU. The Unit has two NAS instructors.
But the URU has also been working one area of Gibraltar's underground world which is the most inaccessible, and that of course is the caves which are today located below sea level. Most caves form above sea level, and the reason for some caves being located below sea level now is that for the better part of the last 100,000 years the level of the sea was much lower – in fact it was up to 120 metres lower. This means that there is a real possibility that the caves which are now underwater were at one time being lived in by people. The URU has therefore started the long process of surveying and exploring these caves.
The first part of the study between 2000 and 2005 surveyed the 'East Side Caves' that are to the north of the Gorham's Cave Complex. The caves are located progressively deeper the further north they are, until they are completely below sea level. Some of the 'East Side Caves' have been scoured by the frequent easterly storms, but others have some sediments remaining, and will be the subject of future research.
There are other caves located further from the present day shoreline, and some of these are found in an area of Europa Reef known locally as Vladi's Reef. There are six main caves which were studied by the URU as part of the project GIBRAMAR (EFCHED) initiative with the University of York and the National Oceanography Centre.
There is still a lot of work to be done, with many caves still only having been located, and waiting their turn.
The URU is also very active in the field of marine biology especially working with the endangered Ribbed Mediterranean Limpet (Patella ferruginea). This limpet is found in Gibraltar where it enjoys a protected status, but it is recognised by the European Council Directive 92/43/EEC as being the most endangered endemic marine invertebrate of the Western Mediterranean coasts.

It is obvious to most that there is strength in numbers. This is true with most endeavors in life, and protecting our freedoms and our property rights is no exception. Unfortunately, the challenge with protecting our freedoms or property rights is the usual paradox associated with concentrated costs and distributed benefits. Everyone benefits from strong property rights, but few are willing to lead the fight to protect them.
When the Washington State legislature begins the 2019 session in mid-January, civility matters.
Civility impacts our governance, it does not matter where one stands politically, our form of representative governance is dependent on the courteous and orderly participation of citizens and legislators. This is the best way to get the most information exchanged in the least time-consuming manner.
Civility matters because our form of governance depends on citizen/legislature communications and effective communication depends on getting facts to our legislators int the most efficient way. Most legislators are operating under a very tight schedule which includes caucus meetings, committee meetings, meetings with constituents, and private lobbyists representing a wide array of business and ideal based civic groups.

Covid Outbreak Reported At Infamous Sex Offenders Prison
About 100 inmates at a sex offenders prison have tested positive for Covid-19 ... was there a lack of attention to social distancing?
BBC – HMP Ashfield, in Pucklechurch, near Bristol, said it carried out mass testing last week.
Affected inmates at the private prison have been self-isolating and movements limited to control the spread.
Prison director Martin Booth said he remained "cautiously optimistic" further transmission had been contained.
[HM Prison Ashfield is an adult male sex offenders prison located in South Gloucestershire, England. The prison was built on the site of the Pucklechurch Remand Centre, and opened in 1999. In 2013 an inspection report that concluded offenders were "exposed to unacceptable levels of violence", including bones broken after the use of force by staff. Ashfield was converted to an adult male prison for sex offenders since July 2013. Ed./Wikipedia]
'Closely monitor the situation'
Mr Booth said more than 90% of the Category C prison's 400 inmates had been double jabbed.
He said the "outbreak" was the first one to hit the Serco-run prison and his "priority is to keep everyone safe".
Serco has since been "working closely with our NHS Healthcare partner and Public Health England to implement the best possible strategy to manage the virus", he said.
There has also been an "outbreak" at the nearby women's prison and young offenders institute at HMP Eastwood Park.
A prison service spokeswoman said: "We have taken precautionary measures at HMP/YOI Eastwood Park in line with public health guidance, and will continue to closely monitor the situation."
She explained staff dealing with Covid-infected prisoners have access to full PPE.
Each of the prison's roughly 400 inmates have also been offered a Covid-19 vaccine, she said.

I need a solid means of transportation that I can use for my daily commute, but interest rates on car loans are making the purchase a little outside of my budget.
That's why I'm asking people I know to help me finance a used, but reliable vehicle so I can keep getting to work on time and take some weekend road trips.
Let me begin by admitting that I was warned (repeatedly, and at every step in the process) against buying a used Swedish import. But I really wanted one. It was cheap, it had lots of cool features, and I assumed, for some reason, that everything would be fine.
It is not fine. Every other month a new sensor or something goes out, and in addition to having to buy the new part, I also pay however much it takes to get the car to someone who can install the new piece in the first place.
Do you know how many places there are in this town that can fix Swedish imports? I do: there aren't any. I have to tow this thing about fifty miles into the middle of nowhere to find one guy with a backlog of like 50 other cars he's already working on, and it takes him over a week to finally get to mine.
The point is that I recently found a new job somewhere downtown, but if I'm going to keep working it, I need a more reliable source of transportation.
Unfortunately, new and used cars can be pricey. If I'm ever going to get a vehicle that can help me get where I need to go on time, I need the support of my friends, family, and community.
I'm not looking for much; just something that can get me from Point A to Point B. Preferably something with crank windows, non-electric mirror adjustment, and as few mysterious "sensors" as possible. Honestly, I'd take a horse and buggy at this point, if I could find one.
If you're convinced that this is a good idea for me, I'd love to have your contribution to my campaign. The best part is, I'll pay you this money back over the next few years.
Thanks for considering, and I hope to give you updates on my transportation situation soon!

Protected Arroyo Hondo Preserve
Riparian Canyon Offers History, Hikes, and Heat
Mon Apr 27, 2015 | 12:00am
An easy stretch through Arroyo Hondo
Richie DeMaria
Sometimes the things that are easiest to see are the easiest to miss. Take the Arroyo Hondo Preserve, a 782-acre park sprawling alongside the US 101 North. The preserve protects a beautiful riparian canyon plainly visible from the road but somehow hidden from most eyes. Those who book a reservation to venture down its unassuming driveway will be greeted with beautiful oceanside meadows and mountain scenes steeped in human history.
The Arroyo Hondo Preserve offers a wide number of hikes, from easy streamside strolls to tough uphill climbs. One of the most challenging hikes, the Outlaw Trail, allows one to see it all from relatively unseen vantage points. The easier lower half of the hike brings visitors to a hillside picnic site looking upon the canyon's jutting sandstone, and the upper half rises steeply to a boulder seat with sweeping views of the coast.
Arroyo Hondo
The hike begins at the preserve parking lot and passes through Hollister Meadow, a calming green expanse situated along the creek. The grassy esplanade is a centerpiece of quiet in a canyon that has seen many different human histories play across its paths. The Barbareño Chumash once occupied the lower reaches of Arroyo Hondo canyon, where they lived for thousands of years in the village of Tuxmu until change sailed ashore. More recently, in 1827, the land fell under the possession of the Ortega family, and remains of their adobe home still stand. The padres of the Santa Inez Mission used Arroyo Hondo as a vineyard, and the vines still snake around sycamores to this day.
In time, road and rail ran across the ravine, bringing more people, not all of them well-behaved. The Outlaw Trail takes its name from these colorful characters, among them the murderous highway robber Jack Powers, the "Mexican Robin Hood" Joaquin Murrieta, and the framed Edward McGowan, all of whom took refuge amongst the sheltering sandstone. The real criminal here nowadays is the sun, which can betray you on this mostly shadeless trail. Even the Lower Outlaw Trail, which is otherwise a fairly easy walk, can be unexpectedly hot as it passes the oaken fringes of the meadow — bring a hat.
Looking back down the canyon toward the 101
Hikers can end here with a pleasant picnic, or continue upward for another mile or so. The Upper Outlaw Trail ascends quickly, and for a moment along the sunned-out switchbacks, you may wonder why you left the comforts of the canyon below. It's a tougher climb than Inspiration Point, challenging you with a steeper incline over a shorter distance, but it rewards with equally beautiful views and far fewer people. From atop a speckled sandstone boulder, you can admire the dramatic rocky ridges ribbing the foothills and witness humpbacks cresting in the mighty blue below. You can also see the neighboring Tajiguas Landfill, a perfect vista to ponder our ever-evolving place on this crowded coast.
Fortunately, crowds are few at Arroyo Hondo, a place requiring reservations to be seen. The preserve is open the first and third weekends of the month for the public, and on Mondays and Wednesdays for school and community groups; visitors must call (805) 567-1115 before embarking. The little bit of advance planning is worth it to see a place you may have seen many times before but never noticed. Once you see it, you'll seize any chance to see it again.

Recreating a Lost Ecosystem


The theme of International Women's Day this year was #BalanceforBetter. It strikes me as a very pertinent and extremely worthwhile topic to tackle, both when it comes to inclusion and diversity and indeed, the style of leader we want to see, and be, in the future.
Be it finding the sweet spot between risk and reward, knowing how far productivity can be increased before more resources are needed or balancing strategies for both short and long-term growth, striking the right balance is a vital skill for all leaders at all levels of business.
There was undoubtedly a period where it felt like businesses struggled to find that balance in their strategies. The culture of the 'superstar CEO', where great ambition and a perception of infallibility were valued perhaps above all else, certainly contributed to that. That is why I am so encouraged by the recent noticeable shift to a more collaborative and inclusive style of leadership, where seeking counsel from those with different perspectives is replacing a single vision of success as the most valuable commodity among leaders.
"Accepting that leaders are not infallible has been key to the rise of this new style of leadership."
Of course, a clear vision remains the foundation that every business needs to be successful. But when a business reaches a certain size, problems can begin to appear if that vision, and its execution, relies solely on one individual. It is natural that left to lead alone, finding balance in decision making becomes more and more difficult and inevitably, mistakes will follow.
Accepting that leaders are not infallible has been key to the rise of this new style of leadership. We are moving in the right direction, but there is still more to be done. The presence of challenge and counter viewpoints right through the strategic process, from development to execution, can only lead to more robust outcomes. This will only be enhanced by greater diversity of thought, background and experience among those collaborators. Moving away from the superstar CEO will be far less valuable if the collective decision makers are all in agreement all of the time.
The 2018 Hampton Alexander Review published in November last year revealed that the FTSE100 index are on track to hit the target of having more than 30% of board positions occupied by women. The growing number of women on boards and among the leadership of FTSE 100 and 250 firms reflects the value of diversity of thought in the boardroom.
We are making progress but it is undeniable that there is more to do to achieve balance both at a UK and global level. It is vital that the momentum seen over the past few years translates into faster change in the future, motivating leaders to look at the demographics of their teams at every level and consider how we can move towards more balanced and therefore better and inclusive leadership in the future.
Business must play its part when it comes to rebalancing the social inequalities of today, not just because it is the right thing to do, but because enabling everyone, regardless of their gender or background, is going to be vital for the success of our future economy productivity.
17 million adults, through no fault of their own, are being held back from a lack of basic numeracy skills. KPMG has a long history of providing support and direction to social mobility initiatives and is supporting National Numeracy because we believe it is time for a fundamental shift in confidence and competence with numbers to happen in the UK.
Diversity of thought can come from many places – different career journeys, life experience, from alternative industries and careers, and lives spent overseas. This diversity is also influenced by personal experiences which often come from characteristics such as gender, ethnicity and socio-economic background. Who we are and what we have experienced shape our leadership style and how we make decisions, approach a problem or weigh up risk and capitalise on opportunity.
All of us have relationships with our employees, with our suppliers, and within our business networks. We must use these to help those who need it most.

The willingness to adapt is key to good leadership
Special to The Globe and Mail
This column is part of Globe Careers' Leadership Lab series, where executives and experts share their views and advice about leadership and management. Follow us at @Globe_Careers. Find all Leadership Lab stories at tgam.ca/leadershiplab
Business magnate and consummate self-promoter, Donald Trump has been at his run for the U.S. Republican Presidential nomination for just three weeks and has already managed to alienate people and burn business bridges. And that's just as a result of his kickoff speech. In true Trump style, the launch was filled with hostile jabs, bravado and indecent amounts of self-aggrandizing behaviour.
There's an expression in recruiting that past behaviour dictates future behaviour. Smart interviewers know not to ask candidates hypothetical "what would you do in this scenario" questions, but rather "tell me about a time when you faced this type of scenario" questions.
Anyone who has watched Mr. Trump's reality-TV series The Apprentice will have a strong sense of his leadership style. During his campaign announcement his style didn't alter. This is true for all of us. Although we all evolve and grow and can, in fact, adjust our behaviours over time, it's not easy and – depending on how "hard-wired" our behaviours are – it's very difficult to maintain. You'll frequently hear people talk about how an individual was "good for a while," but then went back to their usual way of operating. True behaviour change takes hard work and, most importantly, a desire to want to change.
For Donald Trump, his way of behaving as a combative, self-promoting, hard-charging bully has seemingly served him well in the real-estate business. Why change that? Unfortunately for Mr. Trump, holding a political office is not the same as being the king of your own fiefdom. What are strengths for you as a leader in one arena become screaming liabilities in another. Leadership is situational. To be successful, you need to have the ability to adapt your approach.
Like any leader moving into a new arena, Mr. Trump could have benefited from leadership coaching to help him get off on the right foot. Sadly, he's probably not that coachable. But, to those who are looking to transition industries or make a significant career move to a new sector, here are some things to keep in mind to make it a smooth one:
Know the new language
Every organization has its own unique culture but at the core, all culture is the culmination of what people in that company say and do. These collective behaviours are what we refer to as our "organizational values." For any leader starting in a new company, your exposure to values begins in the interview process and great companies know to interview for cultural fit. If, however, you join a company that's less sophisticated, it will be up to you to know how to adapt your style to fit with the stated (and unstated) expectations of the culture. For Mr. Trump, he's aware of the culture of the U.S. political landscape. He's just chosen to steamroll over it. The ability of any one person to change an entire organization's culture borders on the delusional (unless, perhaps, you stage a coup). It's much easier to join an organization that aligns to your existing strengths instead of thinking that the company will adapt to you.
Know yourself
Self-insight is, bar none, the biggest asset any leader can have. Understanding how your behaviour impacts those around you is critical to being able to move successfully into new leadership situations. To understand impact versus intentions, 360 feedback is essential. In Mr. Trump's case, he likely scores high on the narcissist scale which means he's going to reject any feedback that doesn't conform to his own inflated view of himself, but for the rest of us, it's a must-do. If your company doesn't do 360s, you can do your own by asking the people around you for feedback on the things you do well as a leader plus one thing that they think you could do differently.
Recognize your liabilities
For most successful leaders, it's actually not their weaknesses that trip them up. It's the overuse of their strengths. Understanding how to counterbalance your strengths becomes essential. For Mr. Trump, he could practice more active listening to counterbalance his preponderance to talk too much. Ask people around you what behaviours you could demonstrate more of, and what you could demonstrate less of. It's likely that some less-desirable behaviours are your strengths being overused.
Get rid of the yes (wo)men
The problem many successful people face is that, once they get a taste of power and prestige, they start believing their own hype and surround themselves with sycophants who oblige every whim. It happens with celebrity leaders like Mr. Trump, but it can happen to the rest of us as well. Power corrupts. It's important to continually practice receiving feedback and staying grounded by doing activities beyond your job that give meaning and purpose. Join a peer group to help get other perspectives on your leadership, get involved in a charity or coach a children's sports team. Put yourself in situations where you're not the smartest person in the room and you have something to learn.
For Donald Trump, the run for the nomination will likely be a short-lived one. Arrogance and ego aside, his story provides a cautionary tale for any leader who finds themselves navigating a new leadership culture and wondering why their tried-and-true approach is falling short. Again, leadership is situational. Know how you need to adapt to be successful and don't try to jump into an organization that operates too far outside your own strengths and approach. You can flex your behaviours for a while but, over time, you'll likely revert back to the things that are hard-wired. Why not make your life easier and go somewhere where that approach is valued? See you back that the real-estate negotiating table soon, Mr. Trump.

Bangladesh celebrates...
Bangladesh celebrates 50th Victory Day
The people of Bangladesh on Wednesday celebrated the 50th Victory Day. On December 16, 1971, Lt. Gen Amir Abdullah Khan Niazi, the Chief Martial Law Administrator of East Pakistan and Commander of Pakistan Army forces located in East Pakistan had signed the Instrument of Surrender the led to the formation of Bangladesh.
DHAKA: The people of Bangladesh on Wednesday celebrated the 50th Victory Day. On December 16, 1971, Lt. Gen Amir Abdullah Khan Niazi, the Chief Martial Law Administrator of East Pakistan and Commander of Pakistan Army forces located in East Pakistan had signed the Instrument of Surrender the led to the formation of Bangladesh.
Niazi had signed the Instrument and Surrender in the presence of Jagjit Singh Aurora, who was representing the Indian and Bangladesh Forces in Dhaka.
The country was liberated from the Pakistani occupation on the day after a nine-month-long bloodstained War of Liberation in 1971.
At the time of surrender only a few countries had provided diplomatic recognition to the new nation. Over 93,000 Pakistani troops surrendered to the Indian forces and Bangladesh Liberation forces, making it the largest surrender since World War II.
Bangladesh was born as an independent country under the leadership of the Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman at the cost of supreme sacrifice of three million people and the honour of nearly half a million women.
Though the pandemic Covid-19 has almost paralysed the whole world barring the people from attending any public gathering in person, the celebration of the Victory Day got a different dimension.
The day is set to be celebrated as Mujib Borsho, on the occasion of the birth centenary of Bangabandhu from March 2020-March 2021, just ahead of the country's golden jubilee year of Independence to be celebrated in 2021.
On behalf of President M. Abdul Hamid and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina their representatives laid the wreath at the altar of the National Memorial around 6.30 a.m.
Both of them paid rich tributes to the martyrs of the Liberation War by placing wreaths at the National Memorial in Savar, on the outskirts of Dhaka, marking the 50th Victory Day.
After placing the wreath, the representatives stood there in solemn silence for a while as a mark of profound respect to the memories of the martyrs of the Great War of Liberation in 1971.
Bangladesh's first government was sworn in in front of local and foreign journalists officially and it began its duties. With the Declaration of Independence on March 6, the country was officially declared as an independent sovereign state.
Bangladesh sought admission to the UN with most voting in its favour, but China vetoed this as Pakistan was its key ally.
The US, also a key ally of Pakistan, was one of the last nations to accord Bangladesh recognition. To ensure a smooth transition, in 1972 the Simla Agreement was signed between India and Pakistan. The treaty ensured that Pakistan recognised the independence of Bangladesh in exchange for the return of the Pakistani PoWs. India treated all the PoWs in strict accordance with the Geneva Convention, rule 1925 released more than 93,000 Pakistani PoWs in five months. Further, as a gesture of goodwill, nearly 200 soldiers who were sought for war crimes by Bengalis were also pardoned by India.
Bangladesh government has organised elaborate programs to celebrate the day at the national level, maintaining the health guidelines in face of the global pandemic COVID-19. (IANS)

I know, I know ... it takes a lot of time to "tweak" each resume and cover letter. I've had clients who send me new job postings and invest in my expertise. A quick tweak may take me 20 minutes and more complex roles could take an hour's time.
It's a lot of cross-checking and replacing language and even reconstructing bullets to fit the role beautifully!
At worst, it demonstrates that she does not customize her resumes; at best, it won't be noticed.

Stan and his team were absolutely incredible from start to finish. I hate packing and decided to have them do everything - pack, move, setup. They got to my place early and did not stop working for a minute.
These guys were fantastic! They moved us last week and despite a slow elevator out of our first condo and a huge delay caused by our new condo, A Couple Of Movers were extremely easy going and efficient.
This review is overdue. I used A Couple OfMovers twice in May 2017 and had exceptional experiences both times. Stan and his team were on time, super efficient and extremely careful with all of our items.
Stan and his crew Camillo and John were simply amazing, I was very concern at first but shortly after I realized I was in good hands. Super nice, friendly and very professional. They very careful with my furnitures and very fast.

In this excerpt from Wednesday's show, The Mack Truck investigates the real reason Barack Obama plans to leave the campaign trail. A transcript follows the jump.
Very pleased to have with us today a representative of the Obama campaign. Harold Lauderdale, very brave of you to come on the show, stand in the path of The Mack Truck. So, thank you for being here.
LAUDERDALE: Of course. You have the best show on radio.
HENRY: Oh, thank you. That's very kind of you. Now, I know you may be a bit shaken, having to sit in for this interview.
LAUDERDALE: I'm very scared, because you're such a tough interviewer.
HENRY: That's right. I don't do small talk and I don't shy away from the hard questions.
LAUDERDALE: Oh–yes, yes. I've seen you. They don't call you The Mack Truck for nothing.
HENRY: No. No, they don't.
All right. Let's get down to it, Mr. Lauderdale. This week, Senator Obama announced he would be leaving the campaign, starting tomorrow, supposedly to visit his sick grandmother.
HENRY: Mr. Lauderdale isn't Mr. Obama in fact leaving the campaign to meet with William Ayers, the former terrorist and member of the Weather Underground?
LAUDERDALE: Yes. That's true. How did you go and uncover that? Damn you.
HENRY: Isn't William Ayers right now on a plane to Hawaii, where he will wait on a beach for Mr. Obama, where they will meet and share a drink with an umbrella in it and plot the overthrow of the U.S. government?
LAUDERDALE: Yes, yes. My goodness. How do you know that?
HENRY: And isn't 'grandmother' actually radical terrorist shorthand for Bill Ayers? A handle, if you will?
LAUDERDALE: Yes, that's also true.
HENRY: I thought so. And isn't Mr. Obama's handle Muslim Man?
LAUDERDALE: Yes, because he loves being a Muslim more than anything.
Mr. Lauderdale, isn't it true that there really is no grandmother? That if I traveled to Hawaii, what I would find in the bed where she should be would be William Ayers in bed in makeup and a nighty, pretending to be Mr. Obama's grandmother?
LAUDERDALE: I thought Ayers was on the beach.
HENRY: He goes back and forth. Now, wouldn't I find Mr. Ayers in that bed, Mr. Lauderdale?
LAUDERDALE: Uh… Uh… Yes, Mr. Obama would be in the bed. Yes.
HENRY: No. No, no. Mr. Ayers would be in bed, right, Mr. Lauderdale? Not Mr. Obama.
Henry, I lost my place! I lost my place!
HENRY: Uh, I want to thank Mr. Lauderdale for coming on the show. Apparently, we lost connection. It takes courage to stand in the path of The Mack Truck, which is filled with truth, and he tried, and we have to commend him for that. Trying is great.
