Companies, universities must collaborate on skills gap - study
LONDON (Reuters) - Companies should get more involved with university courses to close a skills gap and ease graduates' path to employment, according to a report on Wednesday.
Fewer than half of young people and employers believed that new graduates were well prepared for work, the study of data in a diverse group of countries found, a problem that may contribute to soaring levels of youth unemployment.
Higher education institutions, however, believed that nearly three-quarters of their leavers were ready for the workplace.
"Employers, education providers, and youth live in parallel universes," the McKinsey report found.
"They have fundamentally different understandings of the same situation."
The consultancy analysed education-to-employment initiatives from 25 countries and surveyed youth, education providers and employers in Brazil, Germany, India, Mexico, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Britain and the United States.
Total unemployment among young people has risen to 75 million, according to the International Labor Organization, as the global economy has slowed and the debt crisis in Europe worsened.
Policymakers in several countries have debated how the shortage of skills has contributed to the figures. A study from the Chicago Federal Reserve Bank in June said there was little evidence the jobless rate was being kept high by a skills gap.
But nearly 40 percent of employers surveyed by McKinsey between August and September said it was a leading reason for entry-level vacancies.
The report split employers into three groups, based on their degree of involvement in the process of recruiting.
"Only one of them, accounting for less than a third of the cohort, is successful in getting the talent it requires," it said.
"What distinguishes these employers is that they reach out regularly to education providers and youth, offering them time, skills and money."
It said bosses, educators and students rarely communicated. This meant that universities found it hard to predict job-placement rates for their graduates, and young people did not know which subjects were linked to employment and good pay.
Moreover, only half of young people believed that paying for higher education would improve their chances of finding a job.
McKinsey said countries needed to review their education systems to see if employers in a particular industry seeking certain skills could work more closely with educators.
It said limited financial or staff resources, lack of hands-on training opportunities and employers' reluctance to fund training unless it is very specialised could all be barriers to better cooperation.
But these could be addressed by better use of the Internet for practice situations and to ensure consistency at a low cost and by introducing an improved standard curriculum that would be complemented by top-up training with employers. (Writing by Anna Willard; Editing by Will Waterman)

In Narendra Modi's India, green shoots of reform from Rajasthan
The reformist government that many Indians and free-market flag-bearers had hoped would emerge after this year's election isn't in New Delhi - at least not yet. Rajasthan, derided as a poverty-stricken laggard, has taken the lead on structural reforms that, their backers argue, could also help Asia's No.3 economy as a whole to attract business and employ a fast-growing workforce.

Third District Congressional candidate Weston Wamp said he has garnered campaign funds that put him short of incumbent Chuck Fleischman by $160,000 for the GOP primary battle.
He claimed that the Fleischmann campaign got "excessive contributions" from some Cleveland, Tn., business leaders.
The Wamp staff said, "In addition to out-raising incumbent Congressman Chuck Fleischmann by $100,000 in the first quarter of 2014, the full fundraising reports of both campaigns show that Chattanooga businessman Weston Wamp cut Fleischmann's fundraising advantage by more than half.
"Wamp reported more than $403,000 in first quarter contributions exclusively from individuals.
"Therefore, Fleischmann's advantage over Wamp is only $160,000 in usable funds, despite
starting the campaign with an advantage of more than $350,000.
"True to form for a big spender in Washington, Fleischmann's campaign spent more than twice as much money in the first quarter as Wamp's. Fleischmann's report listed more than $65,000 in disbursements while Wamp's listed less than $30,000.
"Fleischmann again accepted an overwhelming amount of money from special interest PACs.
Fleischmann received $123,500 from PACs accounting for 40% of his total money raised.
"According to Congressman Fleischmann's report, four contributions exceeded the legal limits under federal law by a total of $8,000. Two of the contributions came from the children of Cleveland pay day lender Allan Jones totaling $4,600 above the legal limit. The other two excessive contributions came from Cleveland road builder Stephen Wright and his wife totaling $3,400 above the legal limit."

BOSTON, MA -- (Marketwire) -- 12/13/12 -- Citi Performing Arts Center is one of the nation's foremost nonprofit performing arts institutions. As guardian of historic venues -- the Wang, Shubert, and Emerson Colonial theatres -- Citi Performing Arts Center is the heart of Boston's Theater District.
To broadcast information about the performances on their stages and add vibrancy to the area, the Citi Center has invested in state of the art digital assets. These include 13 interactive displays throughout their campus including 2 digital marquees, 10 indoor digital displays and 1 outdoor display.
Originally, the Center's staff had to log into 5 different signage systems to manage daily content changes. These systems varied in support for web-based access and file types, making the process very time consuming.
As programming expanded and new venues were added, Citi Performing Arts Center staff knew it needed a more comprehensive system, exhaustively researching and evaluating available marketplace software systems. Ultimately, Aerva outperformed based on many criteria and was selected as the best integrated solution for all the screens.
"Aerva can drive any type of screen, in any orientation, and has innovative interactive applications that others in the marketplace do not," according to Travis Farrenkopf, Senior Manager of Design & Emerging Technology.
"We are excited about the addition of our new digital signage network across the Citi Performing Arts Center campus," said Josiah Spaulding, President and CEO. "The new displays at our theatres give us the ability to enhance the patron experience and enhance onsite branding presence. The ability to showcase dynamic content such as social media feeds, news, weather, wayfinding, and videos has also increased the potential of ancillary revenue streams."
"Citi Performing Arts Center is a stalwart in the Boston theatre and entertainment market. We are pleased that this renowned institution has selected Aerva to help manage its screens, while also adding social media and mobile content so patrons can interact," remarked Sanjay Manandhar, CEO of Aerva.
About Aerva
Aerva is a technology company that enables real-time interactivity between mobile, social media applications and digital display networks (outdoor, place-based or enterprise).
Aerva platforms offer a suite of software and services for creating, managing, delivering compelling content and experiences across digital media channels. Aerva is a private company headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA.

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

Inimitable Intimacy
He's that kind of boy
That makes a true ode to beauty
Out of me
Even when I'm ugly
He indulges me
Into skillful foreplay
Which can take about an hour or so
If we are in the mood
And his perversions
-- such as his dubious attraction to young girls
Seem nothing to me but brand new affection styles
For today sensuality is spared and love rules
And I've heard that Shakespeare
Would have wanted to photograph us
To appear
In the front cover of
"Two Lover's Inimitable Intimacy"

Players/Officials: Ravi Bopara | Steven Davies | Monty Panesar
Series/Tournaments: England tour of United Arab Emirates
Teams: England
Monty Panesar has been given hope of relaunching his Test career after being named in England's squad to take on Pakistan in UAE next month. The 16-man party is very much as expected with Ravi Bopara retaining the spare batting slot and Steven Davies, the Surrey wicketkeeper, given the role of Matt Prior's understudy as he was in Australia.
In a sign of the consistency that has been a hallmark of England's Test cricket over the last 18 months there is only one change from the original 16-man squad that travelled to Australia last year with Bopara replacing Paul Collingwood. The trio of players who have been recovering from injury - Stuart Broad (shoulder), Eoin Morgan (shoulder) and Chris Tremlett (back) - are all included although there remains a small injury cloud over Tim Bresnan who has recently undergone elbow surgery.
"This series sees Steven Davies once again deputise as wicketkeeper to Matt Prior while Monty Panesar, who has been playing cricket in Sydney recently, has been selected as the second spin option along with Graeme Swann," Geoff Miller, the national selector, said. "Monty's selection comes off the back of a strong domestic season with Sussex and with the potentially spin-friendly conditions of Dubai and Abu Dhabi in mind.
"Ravi Bopara has another opportunity to show his growth as a Test player and we believe he will continue to add depth to our batting stocks for what promises to be a highly competitive series."
Panesar remains the second-best spinner available for England and was the logical option to work alongside Graeme Swann. His last Test was against Australia, at Cardiff, in 2009 when he produced the famous last-wicket rearguard with James Anderson to save the match. He moved to Sussex to rejuvenate his career and last season he was the highest wicket-taker in Division One of the County Championship in 2011 with 69 victims at 27.24.
Yet, whether Panesar makes the first eleven will depend on the willingness of Andrew Strauss and Andy Flower to move away from the current balance of six batsmen, the keeper and four bowlers - albeit in conditions that haven't demanded a second spinner, or specialist fifth bowler - unless they opt for the risky strategy of two quicks and two spinners.
The prolific form of England's top five, Prior's consistency in Test cricket, plus the developing allround skills of Bresnan and Broad, suggest England could cope with the shift in strategy but don't be surprised to see the balance remain the same. However, there is little doubt that at some point next year - whether in UAE, Sri Lanka or India - England will need two spinners in the same attack.
Bopara has clung onto his place in England's Test plans after replacing the injured Jonathan Trott against India and has fought off the claims of James Taylor, Samit Patel and Jonny Bairstow. Davies, meanwhile, is back in an England squad for the first time since the one-day series in Australia during which he was omitted from the World Cup party.
"We believe we've selected a very strong squad with a number of key players looking to return from injury including the likes of Stuart Broad, Eoin Morgan and Chris Tremlett," Miller said. "All three have missed a significant period of cricket recently but continue to make excellent progress and will be looking forward to having a substantial impact during this series. To have three world-class players of their calibre returning to the squad is an enormous boost for the Test team.
"We've been very pleased with the preparations undertaken by a number of players during what continues to be a lengthy break from international cricket. Several players are attending training camps with the England performance programmes in South Africa and India. With a long lead-in period once the squad arrives in Dubai there will be a substantial amount of preparation time to acclimatise and adapt to the conditions."
England have two three-day warm-up matches before the first Test on January 16 although the opposition is still to be confirmed. Tremlett and Steven Finn, the two other pace bowlers in the squad, will view that as an opportunity to push for recalls but may have to bide their time.
Squad Andrew Strauss (capt), Alastair Cook, Jonathan Trott, Kevin Pietersen, Ian Bell, Eoin Morgan, Matt Prior, Tim Bresnan, Stuart Broad, Graeme Swann, James Anderson, Chris Tremlett, Steven Finn, Ravi Bopara, Monty Panesar, Steven Davies

While fans of Latin hip-hop might be slightly disappointed to hear that new single Shining (Remix) finds the Louisville native and his heavyweight collaborators delivering their rhymes totalmente en inglés (well, aside from "pesos"), those with a taste for Southern street music should find it right up their alley. Backed by CHOPS' sproingy synth-brass and bouncing percussion rhythm, the collaborators cover all the usual bases – cash, weed, cars – with wit and panache. For his part, the headliner proves more than able to keep up with Skinny, Scales & co, staking his claim on the Ky. hip-hop game and telling the haters they can "suck it" in an infectious, sung-rapped flow. If you consider this banger a Shining example of Southern rap at its best, you'll want to keep it locked for further release details on Johnny Spanish' The Lip LP.

Duchess of Cambridge's child must enjoy challenges of ordinary work: Evening Standard poll reveals massive support for monarchy
Published: 18 July 2013
Updated: 17:49, 18 July 2013
Britons want Kate and William's first child to one day enjoy all the freedom and challenges of "a normal job", an exclusive poll reveals today.
Amid feverish excitement about the imminent birth of a future Monarch, it turns out that the public want the Royal baby to experience the way his or her future subjects live their working lives.
Researchers from Ipsos MORI found 65 per cent of the public would like the child to enter the world of ordinary paid work before shouldering Royal duties full-time. Only 20 per cent disagree.
Although William enjoys a successful career as a search and rescue pilot, few Royals have any real experience of the daily nine-to-five.
Only three in 10 think the child should go to a state school. Nearly half disagree.
However, seven in 10 say it is simply "impossible" for the children of Royalty to have a normal upbringing.
Prince Charles served in the RAF and Royal Navy and has immersed himself in projects like the Prince's Trust - but his life could never be described as normal.
Prince Andrew, who served in the Falklands War as a helicopter pilot, later became a UK trade envoy but his lavish expenses and travel were a far cry from most people's jobs.
Princess Anne, who competed in the 1976 Olympics as a horsewoman, carries out some 500 royal engagements a year and is patron of over 200 charitable organisations.
Prince Edward launched a film and TV production company but was repeatedly accused of exploiting his Royal connections to boost the venture.
Kate and William's baby, who will become heir to William's crown whether a boy or a girl, is due to be born any day.
Today's poll finds support for the monarchy at sky-high levels, a year after the Queen's dazzling Diamond Jubilee celebrations.
An overwhelming 77 per cent of Britons count themselves as monarchists, while just 17 per cent would prefer the country to become a republic. The figures are close to last summer's all-time record of 80 per cent and 13 per cent.
Support for a republic is highest (at 25 per cent) among the 45-54 age group, and lowest among over-75s (around four per cent).
Moreover, the public is increasingly supportive of Prince Charles, with the percentage who think the Throne should "skip a generation" down dramatically over the past decade.
Only 35 per cent now think Charles should give up his right to be he next Monarch, which is the lowest figure since 2001.
Twice, Ipsos MORI have recorded periods when more people wanted Charles to relinquish the Crown than take it. Once was in 2005, when he married Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, and in 1997, after his first wife Diana was killed in a car crash.
Now a majority, some 52 per cent, think he should keep his place in the succession, while 14 per cent do not know.
Gideon Skinner, head of political research at Ipsos MORI, said: "The Diamond Jubilee is extending its halo, with support for the monarchy approaching all-time high levels.
"There is both sympathy for the challenges facing any children born to royalty but also a desire for Kate and William's child to experience more of a normal world of work. "
Ipsos MORI interviewed 1,000 adults across GB by phone from July 13 to 15. Data are weighted.

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
Moody's downgrades Manitoba's debt ratings to negative
Moody's Investors Service today changed the outlook for the Manitoba's debt ratings to negative from stable due to the risk of the Selinger government's plan to bring the province's books back into the black by 2016-17.
The change in outlook was posted on the Moody's website earlier today and the immediate impact is that it'll cost the province more to borrow money, Finance Minister Jennifer Howard said, adding the province remains committed to balance by budget by 2016-17. The summary deficit is forecasted to shrink to $357 million, down from an estimated shortfall of $432 million for the 2013-14 fiscal year.
Howard said Moody's downgrading means less than a half a per cent increase to the province's debt-serving costs.
"For me it means a renewed focus on things like efficient spending and good use of taxpayer dollars," Howard said. "I think for most Manitoba families they aren't going see a difference in how they live tomorrow versus yesterday because of this news.
"We've managed to bring down the cost of borrowing and if this increases it I think it can be accommodated within what we've planned to spend."
Moody's said the change in the outlook to negative was prompted by its assessment of the risk surrounding the province's plan to get to balance by 2016-17, and the risk of a continued increase in Manitoba's debt burden beyond 2016-17.
"Expenditure pressure and prospects for modest GDP growth will make it challenging for the province to achieve its target of a return to a modest surplus and stabilizing debt burden by 2016-17", Moody's lead analyst for Manitoba Kathrin Heitmann said in the release.
Moody's also said Manitoba's deficits are small as a percentage of revenues.
However, it added the government's bid to return to a small surplus by 2016-17 relies to a substantial degree on the province's ability to contain expenditure growth, a steep challenge because of spending pressures in healthcare and social services, which take up about 70 per cent of spending.
Howard said the province is still on track to manage those pressures.
"It is challenging," she said. "(But) we know that we live in a province where we can have massive changes because of flooding or forest fires or other things that happen, and no Manitobans expects us to say 'No' to fighting the flood or protecting their homes because we have a date that we want to balance the budget."
Moody's also said from now to 2017-18 government revenues are forecasted to grow on average by 3.3 per cent per year, including the impact of stable federal transfers while expenditures are expected to grow by only 1.9 per cent during the same period.
The international credit-rating service also said Manitoba's debt burden is expected to reach about 150 per cent of revenues in 2016-17, versus 141 per cent expected for 2013-14 and 101 per cent recorded in 2008-09.
"This trend in debt metrics represents a risk to the province's creditworthiness and leaves limited headroom for substantial further deterioration beyond current expectations," Moody's said.
At the same time Moody's affirmed the province's Aa1 senior unsecured rating.
It said the Aa1 ratings reflects the diversity and stability of Manitoba's economy, which is expected to grow at a modest pace in line with the Canadian average in the next few years -- which produces low unemployment rates -- and the province's high degree of financial flexibility due to its access to a broad and stable tax base.
The agency said Manitoba's rating could change if Moody's sees a loss of fiscal discipline leading to a continued and sustained increase in debt,.
"The outlook could be stabilized if Manitoba's debt burden as a percentage of revenues stabilizes and the province remains on track to achieve a return to balanced budgets by 2016-17," it said.
In a statement the government said Manitoba's Aa1 credit rating is 4th best among the provinces, and is two steps above what it was when the Opposition Progressive Conservatives left office in 1999.
The government also said the province's debt-to-GDP ratio is below the level when the PCs left office in 1999 (32.9% in 1999 vs. 29.8% in 2014).
It added Moody's made similar outlook adjustments for Ontario earlier this summer and for B.C. in late 2012.
"Today's report is consistent with what Moody's said earlier this summer about provinces in general," the province said. "On June 25, 2014, a Moody's report stated that the overall fiscal outlook for Canadian provinces has turned more negative largely due to the slow pace of economic recovery."

While The Giant Mechanical Man wears its heart on its sleeve and stands out in its lack of cynicism, it treads familiar territory and devotes a great deal of screen time to keeping its two romantic leads apart with only the smallest of obstacles. Tim (Chris Messina) is an aimless artist working the city's streets as his titular creation. This involves painting his face silver, dressing in a matching suit and performing rigid movements while on stilts as some sort of commentary on society. One day, while in character, he has an encounter with Janice (Jenna Fischer), a similarly floundering woman about to be fired from her already impermanent job as a temp. We know that they are meant to be with each other, but it must be at least a little bit harder than that. He has a girlfriend (Lucy Punch), though she's leaving him because she doesn't believe in his art. And Janice has an overbearing younger sister (Malin Akerman) and brother-in-law (Mad Men's Rich Sommer) insistent on setting her up with a boorish author, Doug (Topher Grace), who amusingly lectures on the art of conversation and yet is absolutely terrible at it. Everything falls into place for the fated pair when they both get jobs at the zoo and begin to oh-so-slowly discover in each other what we've already figured out. Fischer is especially sweet in another wallflower role (she also produced and director Kirk is her real-life husband), and she and Messina establish a nice chemistry. Unfortunately, this isn't enough to distract from the lack of any genuine conflict, aside from ones that feel manufactured and purely superficial. Grace provides some comic relief with his pretentious behaviour, even if it does undermine the attempt at having him serve as a potential romantic hurdle. This is endemic of a world painted in broad strokes of black and white, as if taking the audience by the hand and advising on whom we are supposed to like and not like as things progress. It makes for an experience that may feel warm and cozy at the end, but only because we've been there before and we've been prepared for our arrival. Disappointingly, there are no extras at all on the disc.(Mongrel Media) GET IT!

Planning for federal India
Publication Date : 22-08-2014
Speaking from the Red Fort on Independence Day Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced that the Planning Commission will be abolished to be replaced by a new institution more in keeping with current times. According to media reports the new institution will be called the States Reform and Development Commission.
The PM said: "If we have to take India forward, then states will have to be taken forward. The importance of federal structure is more important today than it was 60 years ago…We will try very soon to set up a new institution in place of the Planning Commission."
The PM said that soon a move will be initiated to start the process of change which might take some time to fructify. The Planning Commission formulates Five Year Plans which are approved by the government and which then set the nation's economic policy.
The Five Year Plans and Annual Plans are formulated after Commission members consult central ministers and state governments. The Commission is an advisory body for the central government. The Commission is entrusted to assess all human, capital and technical resources available and then formulate plans for their optimal use to address economic and social priorities.
This system was inspired by the Soviet Union model of centralised planning. Often decisions of the Commission invite criticism. Currently the Commission has been roundly criticised for overspending on renovating two blocks of toilets. It has also been condemned for declaring a low and unrealistic poverty threshold.
What shape will the proposed new institution take? It is likely that time bound plans may altogether be dispensed with. Instead indicative planning may be introduced that offers continuous guidelines on the basis of prevalent social and economic trends. This idea is not new. Decades ago Swatantra Party leaders had suggested this as an alternative to Five Year Plans.
According to the government, the new institution will induct representatives from the states to offer suggestions which will make it more inclusive and federal in approach. Will it? Practically will it not be ultimately another body seeking approval of the central government? How will that ensure genuine federalism?
If the government seeks a federal approach to development it would be well advised to invoke Article 263 of the Constitution and establish in addition to the proposed new institution the Inter-State Council which has remained for six decades a neglected dead letter. The Article states that the President may at any time for public interest establish this Council which would intercede in disputes between states or between the centre and all states.
It would also be charged with making "recommendations for the better coordination of policy and action with respect to the subject". The suggestions of the new proposed institution could be debated and approved by the Inter-State Council.
That would ensure more genuine federalism than by merely creating an advisory body which recruits members from states. If the PM really seeks a federal approach should he not also establish the Inter-State Council?
