Is “Die Hard” a Christmas movie? If you answered, Yippee Ki YES! you agree with 100% of Vendians who answered the same question. And you should probably work here. If you answered no, you’re wrong. However, we can likely overcome that and still want to talk to you.

We’re looking for senior candidates with 8 years experience in the SaaS / IaaS / B2B / Cloud / Distributed Compute / Database space, focusing on Software Engineering, Software Dev Management and Technical Product Management roles.

Vendia’s core value proposition centers around the fact that sharing business data is both critical and fundamentally difficult. We empower customers by enabling them to share data across silos (clouds, geographies, companies), enabling a single view (no more duplication), guaranteeing customers retain compliance, security, privacy and access control of their data. We tackle the challenges associated with distributed computing & storage, consensus, multi-party writes, immutable ledgers, multi cloud and much more, allowing our customers to focus on what matters most: their data.

Right now, we’re ~45 folks strong. We’re a remote first company, with an office in Seattle and coworking spaces available. We’re willing to sponsor H1B eligible candidates on a case-by-case basis. And we differentiate ourselves from other tech companies with our Kind Humans Policy.

Houston cat without a home is hoping to be scooped up by a loving family for the holidays

A tiny tuxedo kitten in Texas is ready to go home for the holidays.

Four-month-old Ophelia is currently available for adoption at Best Friends Animal Society in Houston.

Ophelia was originally rescued by Sugar Land Animal Shelter in Sugar Land, Texas.

NEW YORK BANS THE SALE OF DOGS, CATS AND RABBITS AT RETAIL PET STORES

Best Friends Animal Society told Fox News Digital that Ophelia is stealing people’s hearts “left and right.” 

The group mentioned the cat’s notable markings on her black-and-white fur that give the appearance of the “cutest” white mustache.

“She is a very sweet girl and loves to play with her kitty friends,” the shelter said.

“She also enjoys her squeeze-up treats, too!”

While pets are always an exciting gift to receive during the holidays, Best Friends Animal Society is encouraging animal lovers to choose adoption.

In a press release, Best Friends Animal Society CEO Julie Castle explained that adopting instead of shopping this season can help divert money away from the “inhumane puppy mill industry that churns out millions of puppies annually.”

“Not everyone considers this, but where gifted pets come from can either help or hurt efforts to end the killing of pets in shelters,” Castle said. 

“I encourage everyone to adopt rather than buy a pet from a breeder, pet store or online retailer,” she also said.

Best Friends Animal Society is a leading national animal welfare organization dedicated to ending the killing of dogs and cats in America’s shelters, the group says on its website. It works with shelters, rescue groups and members nationwide.

Anyone who may be interested in adopting Ophelia can email the group at houstonadoption@bestfriends.org or call (832) 342-9411.

Maryland suspects wanted after carjacking at bank’s drive-thru ATM: police

Two armed suspects are wanted in Maryland after they were caught on camera carjacking a driver at a bank’s drive-thru ATM, authorities said Friday.

The incident happened just before 3 a.m. Monday at the Wells Fargo Bank in the 6200 block of Baltimore Avenue in Riverdale Park, Riverdale Park police said.

The suspects drove a gray Audi sedan with stolen tags and blocked a 2016 Toyota Highlander that was using the bank’s drive-thru ATM, police said.

Surveillance images appear to show one of the masked suspects holding the driver at gunpoint while the other masked suspect approaches the vehicle.

One surveillance image captured the suspect at the driver’s side door lowering his mask and revealing his face.

The suspects were able to escape with both vehicles. 

No injuries were reported.

Authorities asked anyone with information to contact the Riverdale Park Police Department.

Riverdale Park is located about 8 miles outside of Washington, D.C.
