  The engagement is likely to be a significant amount of work and it's critical that the candidates have a lengthy background in developing for the platform. Developers with proven project management skills would be even better.
  
  If you know of anyone who may fit the bill, please point them in my direction.
  
  
  Thanks,

He just leased out a former Western Union store that I looked at for a client and it had a big safe in it that would probably have to be removed for the next tenant. It's a bit of a longshot at this point but you never know...

  The youth of today are the leaders of tomorrow

The orchestra comprises young adults from Israel, Palestine, Syria, Lebanon and Jordan, as well as from Spain, where the orchestra is now based. Its objective is to "enable intercultural dialogue and to promote the experience of collaborating on a matter of common interest." The documentary accompanies some recent Beethoven CD releases by the orchestra and is a wonderful testament to how openness to the ideas of others can foster togetherness and mutual respect. It's most definitely worth a hour of your time (whether you like classical music or not).
  
  It's also a powerful reminder to those of us no longer in the first flush of youth (yes, Craig, that means you, too!) that young adults have a tremendous energy and willingness not to repeat the mistakes of the past, and that they should be encouraged and nurtured.
  
  There are two versions, one in HD, the other in Standard Definition:
