Microsoft dives in for the kill on virtual desktops
By padding its feature set, revamping its licensing and designing promo deals with Citrix Systems, Microsoft shows it's serious about virtual desktops.
Good news for IT pros using virtual desktop infrastructure and Windows: Microsoft is now serious about this game. The company improved its memory management and Remote Desktop Protocol technologies, and officially overhauled its virtual desktop licensing rules to be more affordable for its Software Assurance customers.
For many years, Microsoft did not have a full desktop virtualization portfolio, and there are still areas where third-party products are needed to supplement Microsoft's technology. But the company now has enough technologies in its arsenal to be a real player in virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), said Rob Horwitz, an analyst with Kirkland, Wash.-based Directions on Microsoft.
"They realizes they have to play in this game, because they don't want a VMware, which is doing something that looks an awful lot like an OS, to have an opportunity to continue moving outward against Windows," Horwitz said.
As previously reported by SearchVirtualDesktop.com, Microsoft improved its licensing for virtual desktops and stepped up its game with a Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) add-on that delivers rich media to virtual desktop users.
Two years ago, Microsoft acquired Calista Technologies, a company that was developing technology to improve RDP's ability to deliver graphics and streaming media performance.
The fruit of that acquisition is a technology called RemoteFX, which will ship as part of Service Pack 1 (SP1) for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2.
RemoteFX is not a new standalone product from Microsoft, but a set of RDP technologies being added to Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1. According to Microsoft, RemoteFX and RDP can deliver video and 3-D applications to end users with local-like performance when connecting over the LAN, Microsoft said.
During a company Webcast, Microsoft acknowledged -- and even demonstrated -- how poorly RDP delivers rich media before showing off RemoteFX performance. It will also be available with Citrix XenDesktop and integrates with Citrix's HDX protocol, which will extend RemoteFX's capabilities to remote users over wide area networks.
Microsoft also introduced a new memory management capability called Dynamic Memory. It will be available with Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 in addition to RemoteFX. The technology appears similar to VMware's memory overcommit feature, which Microsoft has long dismissed as unnecessary and described as bad practice before coming out with its own version.
When asked about its change of heart, Microsoft representatives said the company's memory management technique goes beyond what VMware offers.
"It works using ballooning and unballooning techniques, so there isn't a huge memory performance impact the way there is with VMware's memory overcommit feature," they said.
Dynamic Memory for Hyper-V means could aid VDI implementations with improved memory resource allocation on the back end, minimizing the need for additional memory capacity.
This feature requires guest operating systems to have the "hot-add" feature, and the supported operating system list is relatively short compared with VMware's memory management feature, which works for a broader range of OSes, said virtualization expert and blogger Rick Vanover.
Microsoft unveiled other changes to its portfolio, including that Windows XP Mode, Virtual PC and Microsoft Enterprise Desktop Virtualization (MED-V) no longer require hardware virtualization technology. The company also ditched its Virtual Enterprise Centralized Desktop (VECD) licensing plan, but only for Software Assurance (SA) customers.
Beginning July 1, 2010, Windows Client SA customers will no longer have to buy a separate license to access their Windows operating system in a VDI environment. Now, virtual desktop access rights are included as a Software Assurance benefit.
Windows Client Software Assurance and new Virtual Desktop Access License (VDAL) customers will have the right to access their virtual Windows desktop and their Microsoft Office apps hosted on secondary, noncorporate network devices, such as home PCs and kiosks, the company reported.
Citrix and Microsoft also launched a head-on attack against rival VMware, urging VMware View users to replace it with Microsoft and Citrix VDI for free. The "Rescue from VMware VDI" promotion lets eligible customers trade their VMware View licenses for same number of Microsoft VDI Standard Suite subscription and Citrix XenDesktop VDI Edition annual licenses, up to a maximum of 500, at no cost.

CLEVELAND, Oct. 5 (UPI) -- Sen. John Edwards charged Vice President Dick Cheney with doing business with two U.S. enemies -- Iran and Libya -- when he was was the head of Halliburton.
"While he was CEO of Halliburton, they paid millions of dollars in fines for providing false information on their company, just like Enron and Ken Lay," Edwards said Tuesday during the vice presidential debate in Cleveland.
Even though the company is under investigation for bribing foreign officials, Edwards said, Halliburton still received a $7.5 billion no-bid contract in Iraq. "The rule is that part of their money is supposed to be withheld when they're under investigation, as they are now, for having overcharged American taxpayers."
Cheney said that the Democrats have been using Halliburton as a "smoke screen."
"They know the charges are false," said Cheney. "It's an effort that they've made repeatedly to try to confuse the voters and to raise questions, but there's no substance to the charges."

Over the last year the VHI has been reconsidering its mission. As we look towards our thirtieth anniversary year, which will fall in the 2017-18 academic year, it is a good time to refresh our vision and identity.
The first fruits of that process are now with us. After a long period of consultation with many VHI stakeholders—research associates, local academic and non-academic collaborators, the VHI Committee, advisory board and patrons, partner institutions in the UK and beyond—and sustained work from our brilliant designer (Mark Mniszko at Cambridge Design Studio) the VHI has a refreshed name and logo. These have now been approved by the VHI Committee, the College Council, as well as the Governing Body. We will henceforth be known as the:
VON HÜGEL INSTITUTE for CRITICAL CATHOLIC INQUIRY
Although the Von Hügel Institute is well known as such, that name alone does not clearly express the kind of work we do. The addition of 'critical catholic inquiry' fills that gap very well. It indicates both the Roman Catholic heritage and identity which were key to the foundation of the College and Institute, but it also indicates the catholicity, or inclusiveness and openness, as well as the rigour which characterise the deep interdisciplinary research work the Institute will be doing under its new vision. The characteristics of VHI work are further filled out by the three dynamic participles which will be seen in the full version of the logo: analysing, imagining, transforming. The VHI of the future will be committed to critical, rigorous analytic thought which is aimed at improving our shared future, transforming our thinking and practices to increase the common good. Rooted in the long and riotously diverse catholic traditions of philosophy, theology, and ethics it reaches out to dialogue creatively with all disciplines, seeking the good, the true, and the beautiful wherever they can be found: nothing is excluded.
The new logo in its different versions can be found at the foot of this page.
We will be making further exciting announcements in the coming weeks related to the renewal of our mission, including changes to our Advisory Board and Patrons and the launch of a new Institute Brochure. We will also shortly be advertising for a new Development position.
Philip McCosker, Director

There are lots of things to consider when moving home, but our process is simple. Here is what you need to do.
When you are moving, either into or out of a rental property, there's no need to contact us
To ensure you're charged only for the water you use, you will need to confirm that a water meter reading has been arranged either by the property agent or the owner if it's a private rental.
While you are living in a property, you are usually responsible for paying water use charges. Check the arrangement with your landlord or agent.
If you are moving out of your existing home and intend to rent it out, please let us know using our change my details form below.
Change my details
So that your new tenants don't pay for your water usage before you moved out of the property, you will need to have a special meter reading. If you have a managing agent, please check with them as they may have organised this on your behalf. If not, call 13 13 85 to arrange one.
We can issue future water use accounts to the tenant/agent, however, as the property owner, you will still be held responsible for all charges. To set this up, use the change my details form above and select the option 'I'm a property owner and want to send the water use bill to my tenant'.
When you buy a new home, your settlement agent will let us know and arrange for a special meter reading to take place before you move in. If you are buying a property without the help of a settlement agent, see our Buying or selling section.
After you receive your first bill, you can register for My Water, our online self-service portal that helps you manage your bills and your water use.
Regardless of whether you are a tenant or an owner, when you move house you will need to re-register your concession card, so it reflects your current address.
Call us on 1300 659 951 to arrange this, or you can apply online.
If you are renting a property owned by the Department of Housing, please speak to your Housing Services Officer regarding your water use concession.
Apply for a concession

Wetherspoons bans humans
I commend Wetherspoons and their business model and visit them when I can but it seems that their establishment in Canterbury has decided to concentrate on a niche market to the exclusion of all others.
I just hope that they have done their market research and confirmed that there are sufficient cask ale drinking guide dogs in Canterbury to guarantee success.

Sure, sitting too close to the TV screen will make you cross-eyed, but not turning it on for a week will make your mind melt, which is what I have decided so far. This is D's husband, writing. She graciously allowed me to write a guest blog, because media week has been a million times more impactful for me than any of the other weeks have been.
Basically, through removing media this week, it made me realize exactly what role it plays in my life. Actually, I realized it within 48 hours. So I think: that was all we needed to do, we can go back to watching TV (and playing video games, if you are me, which for the record, I only do when I work until late and need a way to wind down).
At first, I figured out that TV helped me shut off my mind, which I viewed as a good thing, because without TV my brain runs on and on and on – about injustice, about group therapy techniques, about how to become an spoken word rock musician, about the books I'm reading, which, within the last week have included childhood trauma, pacifism, the Kingdom of God, just war theory, adoption, and therapy. Even when I try to unwind with some fiction, Hermione ends up ruining my mental shut off time by bring up S.P.E.W. which then makes me think about all the injustices that plague both Hogwarts and our muggle world, whether it's against elves or humans.
So I decided that TV is healthy because without it, I think too much and I don't know how to rest. I need TV to rest my noggin, and so in the clinical opinion of this counseling intern, I am deeming watching TV very healthy.
Since I came to that conclusion, a few days have gone by and I have primarily focused on an upcoming counseling class titled "Trauma through the Lens of Attachment," and I have to read The Boy Who Was Raised as a Dog: And Other Stories from a Child Psychiatrist's Notebook. I haven't even gotten to the chapter of which the title is named, but I have read five chapters so far, each with multiple stories of violence against children, and I will not tell you at all what they are about, because then you would be as sad as I feel right now. And to be honest, it would be easier to sit with these children in a session than to read about it, because sitting with the traumatized allows you to attend to and focus on them, and one may even get to witness the beauty of resilience; but when you read it in a book, or read this in the newspaper, you are forced not only to attend to the victim, but to equally attend to the perpetrator — you are forced to face depth of brokenness that exists in humanity. In fact, it is the violators that make it more difficult for me to have hope – I can hope for recovery for those who have undergone the most heinous crimes, but what about those who commit violence without remorse? It can be downright spirit-crushing.
Then the other stressors in my life are primarily responding to that brokenness; I need to prepare for my oral exam so I can graduate with a master's in counseling so I can help people (which is actually, in itself a flawed statement that I don't have time to address here); I need to put together a resume to see if non-profit organizations will take us; I need to respond to the pile of emails from ministry organizations that we might partner with.
So these days, I feel that my brain capacity is filled with (a) emotionally responding to the pain of the world and (b) practically responding to the pain of the world. And in this moment, all I want to do is hear Liz Lemon say, "What the what?" and I am seriously thinking that I definitely deserve some TV.
But then it occurred to me that if I alternate between feeling the weight of the world on my shoulders and feeling the numbness of watching Liz Lemon make witty one-liners, I am missing something big. The weight of the injustice and pain in the world can drive us to TV (or drinking, or other ways to separate ourselves from reality), or it can drive us to God. And I've been asking myself this week what exactly it means to rest with God, because up until now, I always think being quiet in prayer is just about waiting for God to tell me what to do next, which usually adds more stress rather than less. And I know that God created the Sabbath, but Jesus taught us that doing good and relieving suffering is not exempt from the Sabbath, so I just feel kind of confused. If there is endless suffering in the world, how can we ever have a sabbath in good conscience?
And I think this is part of what resting with God is, turning to him in the moment you want to numb yourself (and by the way, in the mental health world, we identify this as landing on some spectrum of dissociation, just so you know). I respond through the mind-numbing way all the time, usually courtesy of hulu.com.
So tonight, rather than playing video games or watching TV, since I couldn't do either of those things, I decided to just sit (well, just sit in some warm bath water with candles lit) and read out of Common Prayer: A Liturgy for Ordinary Radicals. Of course, I also did a little free-style praying as well. But basically, I prayed for the kids in my childhood trauma book, not only them specifically, but the demographic they represent (including many teenagers I interact with on a regular basis), and it was really relieving. more relieving than ignoring my emotions and watching Parks & Rec. Even though I felt that I was caring more and not less, nor was I shutting off my brain, I felt invigorated rather than drained because I felt connected to the Holy Spirit as I joined Him in grief over injustice, and at the same time it was also so relieving that He is much more powerful than I.
Out of Common Prayer, I prayed the compline prayer which is the last prayer of the day. Part of it goes like this:
This is what we are about: we plant seeds that will one day grow. We water seeds already planted, knowing that they hold promise. We lay foundations that will need further development. We provide yeast that produces effects are beyond our capabilities. We cannot do everything, and there is a sense of liberation in realizing that. This enables us to do something, and to do it well. It may be incomplete, but it is a beginning, a step along the way, an opportunity for the Lord's grace to enter and do the rest. We may never see the results, but that is the difference between the master builder and the worker. We are workers, not master builders; ministers, not messiahs.
You guys know that D is a radical, but so you know, — me, not so much. In fact, two weeks ago I prayed that God would give me love for the poor and the disenfranchised because I pretty much didn't care. And over this past weekend, the Holy Spirit moved my heart in this way, and pointed out to me that there were demographics of people that I had simply given up on, which is not the way He sees things. And I think part of learning to care is learning to rest in God (and maybe not in TV as much). We might be afraid that if we care, if we really give it our all, we will care too much and our we will be crushed under the weight of stress, powerlessness and hopelessness. Basically, I trust the writers of Friday Night Lights to bring redemption and justice to the town of Dillon, Texas more than I trust God to bring the same to my neighborhood and community, and thus I am more invested in those characters than I am in the people I see every day. But through this TV- and videogame-less week which I have resented every step of the way, I've learned that rest is not just about shutting off our brains, but it's about hope, it's about trusting that God is still working, even when while we ourselves take a moment to catch our breath.
(And also, maybe we kind of broke the lent rules today because it was D's birthday). Edit: ok, by that my husband means we watched 15 minutes of Parks and Rec before my baby woke up very very very early from her nap. It's the birthday rule, OK????? Also, isn't my husband the coolest?

The design of the extendible Nooteboom OSD-MEGA is based on the successful OSDS semi-lowloader from the Nooteboom SMART programme. This makes the perfectly flat load floor not only ideal for crane-loaded goods but also for the transport of heavy, self-propelled machines.
Thin, strong gooseneck
The OSD-MEGA is a perfectly flat, extendible semi-trailer, with a loaded floor height of just 97cm approximately. The ultra-thin gooseneck, only 11.5 cm thick, has a technical fifth-wheel load of 18 tonnes. This means the OSD-MEGA can be combined with 4×2 or 6×2 mega tractors. With the self-tracking rear axle and chosen wheelbase of the OSD-MEGA it perfectly meets the German paragraph 70 permit regulations.

Say what you will about Ian Brown's voice or vocal capabilities the man does know how to craft a tune. He was extremely prolific in his solo career producing 6 albums and 18 singles in just over a 10 year span.
1. Golden gaze
At the start of his quasi dance rock eletronic path was this song. While still encorporating guitar it was less about that as a feature rather with ultra synthd out keyboards, swirling atmospheric sounds and inder's "indian" rhythms the song took Ian's career in a new and interesting direction.
2. Keep What Ya got
For this writer, just about anything with Noel Gallagher on the track means it will somehow become "amazing". Add in Ian as the singer and you've got a recipe for perfection. With it's lazy but somehow upbeat tempo, brooding Piano, and soaring chorus it does seem more fitting to be a Ian Brown (or stone roses) song. Surprisingly this song did not hit #1.
3. Corpses In The Mouths
Corpses was the second single from the first album "Unfinished Monkey Business" and happened to be co-written with Aziz Ibrahim. Aziz was the fill in guitarist for the final shows The Stone Roses did. I don't really count him as a member, but I guess you could say he was.

Yes I am a mother and yes I try and focus on myself sometimes. ::Gasp!:: I know, right? It's something that us mom's tend to feel guilty about, but guess what? WE are the priority, too. Our family needs us and therefore we need to spend and take the time to take care of ourselves instead of just focusing on everyone around us all of the time. It's not easy, but "me-time" has got to become a priority for us mama's! Lately I've been trying really hard to refocus and spend a little more time and energy on myself, but I was finding that the little treats I was treating myself to during that me-time weren't necessarily the healthiest choices for me and my body. So, instead of diving head first into a bag of chips, I'm making over my "me time" with better choices!
1. 2 Müller® Vanilla Bean Ice Cream Inspired Yogurt
(Hint: These are currently on Rollback at Walmart for 88 cents!)
2. 1/2 cup frozen bananas
3. 1/2 cup frozen strawberries
4. 1 1/2 cup almond coconut milk
How to Make:
1. Scoop 2 cups of Müller® Vanilla Bean Ice Cream Inspired Yogurt into your blender or blender cup.
2. Add frozen bananas and strawberries.
3. Add almond coconut milk.
4. Shake up the ingredients and blend until smooth.
Pour into your mason jar, grab a fancy straw and kick back and enjoy your delicious smoothie disguised as a malt!
Now that my options for "me time" have gotten a bit of a makeover, I feel so much more empowered during my "me time". Chips and junk food just made me feel yucky and unsatisfied, but this "me time" smoothie disguised as a malt makes me feel full, but not a yucky full.
And now that you have a yummy recipe to try and a little "me time" inspiration, grab your favorite magazine (mine's Real Simple… always and forever) and whip up this smoothie disguised as a malt and enjoy some time to yourself. You'll thank yourself later + so will your family.
Now enjoy!

Can We Guess What Sorority You're in Based Off Your Kaldi's Order?
No one's new to the idea of a basic bitch sorority girl obsessed with coffee. And there's no shame. A lovely Chi O might stop by 9th Street's Kaldi's and get herself a frozen coffee, that's nothing we turn our heads at… but when a Tri Delt likes it black (tsk tsk), we start to worry. The Black Sheep knows what these high-class, coffee-drinkin' letter-wearin' gals like and we've done you the honor of seeing which you would fit into best. We all have our preferences (even when some are shitty) and need a little pick me up sometimes. Kaldi's is a CoMo classic that we'd never want to lose, but maybe you SRAT girls could do us all a favor and not take over the damn place 25/7.

Ok so this is a program where the user inputs a bunch of numbers and the program finds the nth highest number from the list, the nth number is specified by the user.
This program works like this: user enters numbers and all the numbers are added into a list. Then the user enter the "nth" highest number they want. then it enters a loop and executes the loop "nth" times. Each time, the highest number in the list is deleted using the .remove() method. after the loop, the program finds the highest number of what ever is left in the list and prints it.
But for some reason, this program just finds the second highest number. Could anyone please help?
Here is the code:
import java.util.*; public class nthHighest { public static void main(String[] args) { List<Double> numbers = new ArrayList<Double>(); Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in); System.out.println("How many numbers do you want to input"); int howMuch = input.nextInt(); // how many numbers the user want to input double num = 0; for (int a = 1; a <= howMuch; a++) { num = input.nextDouble(); numbers.add(num);//the numbers are added to the list } System.out.println("The nth highest number you want to find :"); int nth = input.nextInt();//the highest number user wants to find int se; double highest = numbers.get(0); double nthHighest = 0; int size = numbers.size(); se = 1; for (int h = 1; h <= nth; h++) { for (; se < size; se++) { if (numbers.get(se) > highest) { highest = numbers.get(se); } } numbers.remove(highest);//removes the highest number from the list size = numbers.size(); se = 0; } nthHighest = numbers.get(0); for (int q = 0; q < numbers.size();q++){//find the nth highest number if (numbers.get(q) > nthHighest ) nthHighest = numbers.get(q); System.out.print(" " + numbers.get(q)); } System.out.println(); System.out.println ("the " + nth + "th highest number is " + nthHighest); } }

Adriatica Spa
Adriatica Spa is a company with challenge in its blood, along with a desire for innovation and ongoing evolution.We were the first Italian fertilizer producer to abandon traditional chemical reaction production for compacted complex fertilizers; what many at the time sqw as a risky choise is now judged to be an industrial success.No private italian company in the history of the mineral fertilizer industry has ever invested in a production plant abroad before Adriatica; the new plant will open in Vukovar, Croatia at the beginning of 2010 to serve the Eastern European market.Adriatica`s success story is explained by this series of numerous little victories, as nothing is achieved by chance without careful planning.

World's First Solid‐State Drive with Embedded Secure Elements
G+D Mobile Security Launches World's first SSD with an embedded Secure Element (eSE) to Store Critical Data.
Maximum security
With its recent launch of CryptoCore SSD, G+D Mobile Security has made a decisive step in ensuring maximum, tamper‐proof security of data stored on an SSD. Launched at February's Embedded World event in Nuremberg, Germany, CryptoCore SSD is the world's very first Solid State Drive (SSD) with an embedded Secure Element (eSE).
Storing sensitive data
CryptoCore SSD allows users to store sensitive and confidential data at the highest security level possible, with the embedded Secure Element ensuring that sensitive data can only be accessed by authorized applications and people. "It's all about managing identities, G+D Mobile Security claims", says Jens Kulikoswki, Senior Product Manager IoT & Industry 4.0.
Cyber Security Division, headquarter in Munich/Germany. "CryptoCore SSD makes it possible to cater people's need to have control about their personal data. They feel: 'My data is mine and should be protected by my identity'. And that's exactly what CryptoCore SSD delivers."
IT security requires transparency, which is what CryptoCore SSD can do.
Tamper‐proof chip
CryptoCore SSD works by storing sensitive and confidential data on a tamper‐proof chip embedded in the SSD. Critical data is, therefore, separated from conventional user data. This in turn means that the risk of using "infected" non‐critical data to gain access to, or manipulate, security‐relevant data is significantly reduced – and this is all done without any extra effort on the part of the user.
Practical applications
CryptoCore SSD is a certifiable and standardized component that benefits from several practical applications. Typical users and applications can be found in the health sector, such as by doctors in private practice and hospitals. Other examples are in the aerospace industry, legal services, such as lawyers, and patent offices, as well as all other security‐driven industries.
CryptoCore SSD has further advantages in that it is centrally manageable, and it receives regular and long‐time updates of the embedded Secure Element. This results in lower ownership and maintenance costs at the same time as increasing the system lifecycle.
Technical features CryptoCore SSD
- M.2 (Key B) interface commonly used in industrial applications. M.2 is a specification for internally mounted computer expansion cards and associated connectors.
- G+D's JavaCard‐based smart card operating system Sm@rtCafé Expert 7.0, which supports a wide range of crypto features such as AES, RSA, elliptic curves, and SHA 512.
- For increased robustness and protection against environmental influences, the modules are epoxy resin coated (black).
- CryptoCore SSD is compatible with MS Windows, Linux and Apple MacOS and various smartcard middleware products.
- Certified production in Germany ensures a high product quality.

I hate the dentist. Did I ever mention that? Its no secret that I have exceptionally bad teeth. The amount of dental work I need and cant afford could possibly add up to a nice down payment on a car. It's something that my dad passed on to me. Well its probably too early to tell, but I may have passed it on to SBJ.
He had to go to the dentist twice this week. He goes back on the 24th. Over the weekend, he was complaining about his tooth bothering him. One of his front molars broke a few weeks back. So the ex took him to the dentist on Tuesday. The diagnoses was not pretty. Cavities galore. He needs a root canal. He needs to have that broken tooth extracted. Call me a bad mom if you will, but this was his first visit to the dentist.
Today he had the tooth extracted. The ex took him again. The report is that he did well for the second time even though they had trouble numbing his mouth. I talked to him for a second and he sounded sad. The ex said he was in pain at the end and that the dentist predicted that he will be in pain later. No soccer practice for him today. I get to take him for this 3rd appointent and I am NOT looking forward to that. I cant handle shots or blood draws, how am I going to do this? I hate seeing my baby in pain.
All this brings me to my purpose for writing. If I had a super power, it would be to take away other people's pain. With just one hug, I could zap all the pain in SBJ's mouth and he could get back to playing with his cars. With just one squeeze, I can eliminate the chronic pain that Rura has in his shoulders. Imagine how wonderful it would be to see someone suffering, and just make it go away?
To me, that tops mind reading, being a human sheild, teleporting (with others too), (or both), talking to animals, knowing and understand all languages, knowing where everything is at all times, or even nothing at all! As useful as ALL these superpowers would be, right now, I just want to take away my babies pain.
I'm actually jealous I didnt think of some of those! How helpful would they be to us moms?
Can you tell this was a fantastic writing challenge, given by a fantastic writer? Thanks Moo's Moo! If you are interested in joining in these challenges, you can do so here, or here.

Are you still of the belief that hard skills are the only important set of skills for future employment?
If so, you may have a problem in a few years. Hard skills are important, but you had not spent any time learning soft skills.
This post focuses on why your career education must include soft skills if you want to succeed in business.
The Definition of Soft Skills
What are soft skills anyway?
"Soft skills are personal attributes that enable someone to interact effectively and harmoniously with other people."
Needless to say, soft skills matter. Hard skills are important, but they are not everything. One must strike a balance between soft skills and hard skills to survive the future of business.
3. Artificial Intelligence Will Not Run the Entire World
According to a study done by McKinsey Global Institute covering more than 800 occupations, only 5% of these occupations will experience full technological automation.
In short, the intelligence of humans will influence the creation of technology. However, it will not completely replace humans in the workplace.
At the end of the day, the ability to communicate what and how something should be influenced will come down to a person's soft skills.
Humans with soft skills will need to know how to appropriately teach the robot with hard skills what to do, based largely on the opinions of humans; a process of taking what humans say and translating it into technology that works for other humans.
2. Navigating a Sensitive Socially Driven Business Environment
There is a saying about hard and soft skills:
"Hard skills get you hired. Soft skills get you fired."
What makes today's business world incredibly complex is the realization of businesses that one highly negative incident can cost a company millions of dollars.
A person with strong soft skills is less likely to endanger a company's reputation by offending customers. Employees with efficient soft skills believe in harmony.
More so, given hard skills are still important, one of the fastest growing jobs in the world are "high math/high social jobs", according to a study by David J. Deming.
The study also shows that between 1980 and 2012, jobs requiring high levels of social interaction grew by nearly 12 percentage points as a share of the U.S. labor force.
1. Soft Skills Will Be the New "Money Jobs"
Jobs that require rare skill sets and have a high impact on profits are always the ones that pay very well.
The workers of the future who can look at data from another angle, one that is technically literate and aware of the impact on people, will be highly important to any team. As of now, Google is famous for its "20% Time" work method of having employees spend 20 minutes researching new ideas, interests, and endeavors.
If a team is comprised of those who already fancy themselves to be historians, anthropologists, and philosophers, combining them with hard skill employees will make the team stronger with its 80% hard skill and 20% soft skill staff.
Some even believe those Gen X employees with pre-Internet soft skills will conquer ageism and make a return to the workforce, as technology makes it easier for them to do so!
They will be the "good employees" of the future for having the soft skills most businesses saw as pointless for decades. They will be paid for it, too.
After all, soft skills are not something you can teach in a day. It takes a lifetime of practice and learning from other people!

Aliyah O'Brien, My Sidewalk Shoot With…
May, 24th, 2014
Aliyah is a recurring guest star on Rookie Blue.
I had a mere 3 hours with the local celebrity.
You probably recognize Aliyah O'Brien as Holly the "science girl with glasses" on the TV show Rookie Blue. She normally plays serious, tough and edgy characters. However in the short time we collaborated I saw her pet a little dog, smile at a mom's newborn baby and thank a guy that shouted, "Sexy!" during our photo shoot. While it sounds cliché she's down to earth and easygoing. When she's not bouncing between Vancouver and Toronto for acting jobs she spends every sunny day riding her beachcomber bike. She even rides her bike to auditions! She's equally passionate about travelling with her backpack. Before her acting career took off, she travelled to 32 countries! As our time drew to a close I asked which actor she admired most. She said there's an endless list but after some careful thought she said it would be amazing co-star with the legendary Jack Nicholson in an adventure comedy.
Special thanks to Zara Durrani for the introduction and much love to the ladies at Mine & Yours (on Hornby St.) for welcoming us into their boutique. Aliyah's outfit was styled by me.
Several of these images were featured in the Community section of the Asian Pacific Post newspaper.
Aliyah's wearing:
Blouse: Billabong
Belt: Kenneth Cole Reaction
Skirt (olive green): Marni (from Mine & Yours)
Heels: Guess

American film director Quentin Tarantino will close the Festival de Cannes with a celebration of the life and work of Italian film director Sergio Leone.

The film will be screened on 24th May after the prizes have been awarded, using the exceptional new copy restored by the Cineteca di Bologna.
The event will be hosted by Quentin Tarantino, a great admirer of Sergio Leone, who has always been open about how much his own film making owes to the influence of the Western's great Italian masters.
The restoration of A Fistful of Dollars was undertaken by the Cineteca di Bologna and Unidis Jolly Film (the film's original producer and distributor) with the involvement of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association and Martin Scorsese's Film Foundation.

Day and night, weekday and weekend, holidays and not, she works tirelessly to maintain a variety of data bases on events, terms and athletes. She writes articles while traveling to 4 continents and researches swimmers to freely share on Openwaterpedia and the Daily News of Open Water Swimming. She answers thousands of emails throughout the year - day in and day out - offering advice and helping swimmers realize their dreams. For her non-stop passion to document and archive information on the sport, for her year-round enthusiasm to promote events and encourage her fellow swimmers, for her infectiously cheerful outlook that breeds a joyful ambiance wherever she goes, Lexie Kelly's year-round work is a worthy nominee for the 2012 WOWSA Open Water Swimming Performance of the Year.."
The nominations are meant to recognize and honor some of the best swims and efforts that the global open water swimming world has seen. Reducing the number of nominees to 15 was extraordinarily difficult due to the incredible efforts and exploits of thousands of women in the sport. Extreme swimmers, disabled swimmers, ice swimmers, marathon swimmers, professional swimmers, administrators, coaches, pilots and swimmers from all walks of life thoroughly impressed their peers, the public and the media with their open water swimming exploits throughout 2012.
The 2009 recipient of the World Open Water Swimming Performance of the Year was the Cayman Islands' Andrew Smiley who completed the RCP Tiburon Mile in San Francisco, California. The 2010 recipient was the 202-mile relay swim by the Ventura Deep Six that swam down the coast of California. The 2011 recipient was Tunisia's Nejib Belhedi who swam the 1400K Swim Across Tunisia.
The 2012 WOWSA Performance of the Year nominees are
(listed in alphabetical order of their first name):
1. Alina Warren (Scotland), Swimming Great Glen Way
2. Brenton Williams (South Africa), Deep Blue Flying

Eat Retreat 2012: Recap
This past weekend I had the extreme pleasure of attending Eat Retreat 2012. It was a jam-packed weekend in the woods of Los Altos, CA with 40 of the most colorful, friendly, and quality people in the world of food, who I'm proud to have forged friendships with.
The weekend kicked off with a lamb butchering demo by Andrew Plotsky, a butcher from Farmstead Meatsmith in Washington State, which we cooked for that night's dinner. Ample supplies of David Scheidt's great "Mastro Scheidt" wine and Jesse Friedman's excellent Almanac Beer provided tasty social lubrication as we all got to know each other. Eat Retreat co-founder, Kathryn Tomajan, led us around the campfire for introductions, which segued nicely into a ceremonial Malort tasting by Rachel Adams. (Malort, that infamous spirit hailing from Chicago, easily comes through on its dual claims that "these pants won't shit themselves" and "kick your mouth in the balls." I cannot disagree with this assertion.)
The next morning, we kicked off with animal farmer/butcher extraordinare, Heather Marold Thomason, taking us through chicken butchering. This was one of the more profound activities of the weekend, since virtually no one at Eat Retreat had ever killed their meat, despite the vast amount of collective culinary experience in attendance. Knowing that you killed your own food certainly added a substantial layer of meaning and satisfaction to dinner later that night, when we ate our slaughter. From there, it was a back-to-back day of one great workshop after another, including:
- Salmon smoking the Chinook Indian way from Neil Davidson of Mission Gastroclub,
- Food media discussion with Bruce Cole (Publisher, Edible SF), Anna Roth (Restaurant Critic, SF Weekly), Clare Leschin-Hoar (Food Journalist), and Molly Watson (Food Writer)
- Olive oil making/tasting/science, by Sara Feinberg of the California Olive Oil Council
- Salt 101 with Spice Hound owner Tammy Tan
- Wine Tasting from David Scheidt of Mastro Scheidt and Samantha Buyskes of Simply Red Culinary Center
- Cheese Time with Emily Morgan of Cowgirl Creamery
- Food & Tech Talk with Will Turnage
- Coffee Class with Stephen Wade
- Pie making by Maggie Rice and Natalie Galatzer
- 3AM Grilled Cheese Masterclass by Michael Davidson, the one and only Grilled Cheese Guy
While there were activities and meals galore, the real value of this weekend was getting into the mix with the people. The organizers take applications in advance of the weekend and they somehow manage to build a roster of not just accomplished individuals, but a roster with great diversity and generosity. You can't just come into Eat Retreat with accolades, you need to bring an original voice and the humbleness to give and take with others. This is the key to why the weekend was so successful.
How all of this fit into two days, I have no clue, but I'm glad that I walked away with the relationships with these people to keep it all going. It was a thought provoking and highly educational weekend, but the chances to bond and get into trouble with my fellow Eat Retreaters was what I'll remember most. Like summer camp, the true value isn't so much learning how to make a canoe, it's creating a lifelong memory with the people that were in your canoe when it flipped over in the lake.
At Eat Retreat, the content takes a back seat to the camaraderie. And with that, I know that Eat Retreat won't have to ever end. Can't wait to see you guys again…and again…and again…

Charles Farrar Browne, a native of Maine, became famous as a writer and lecturer under the name of Artemus Ward. Like his friend Mark Twain, Browne worked as a type-setter in his youth and in 1858, began publishing a series of letters, essays, and stories told in the first person by a droll, illiterate rube with a good meas-ure of subtle common sense who commented on the events and fads of the day. Taking his character to the stage as a lecturer, Browne became an early-day prototype of what we now name a stand-up comedian. Artemus Ward was such a favorite of President Abraham Lincoln that the chief executive read one of the Ward stories to his assembled cabinet officers before getting down to the business of discussing the proposed Emancipation Proclamation. Browne's writings became popular in England as well as in Amer-ica, and he travelled to Britain to perform his Artemus Ward lec-tures and contribute to the comic magazine Punch. Browne con-tracted tuberculosis and died at the age of thirty-two in Southamp-ton. (There was a real Artemus Ward, a general in the Continental Army during the American Revolution.) ( Delmar H. Dolbier)

Way back in 1969 Molly Michael, longtime Keys Resident and artist opened a little frame shop in the back of her husband's store Dixie Aluminum on Plantation Key. After a bit, her husband's store became too confining so she moved to Hood Avenue in Tavernier. It became a gallery and grew some more and moved up to 91904 Overseas Hwy. To celebrate it's new location the store became the "Frame Shop Gallery"
It grew and grew and became Island Decor.
Way back sometime in the 70′s Shanti Cope was born in Canada, moved to New York City and spent her youth prowling the art galleries and museums of Manhattan with her Mother. She went on to Northeastern University and earned a degree in Psychology. Thus armed she was well equipped to work in the family furniture and interior design business. She continued her education by attending and graduating from the prestigious Fashion Institute of Technology in Manhattan with a degree in Interior Design.
When the family decided to retire, Shanti moved to "corporate America" and had a very successful career designing point of sale material and displays for some of the nation's largest companies.
Then there was that magical day when Shanti and her new husband, Craig, decided life could be better in the Keys. They began searching for a new opportunity and change in life style in this wonderful place. She discovered and purchased Island Décor bringing together her passion for interior design and the creative development process. Shanti's diverse background provides her the ability to help you select the perfect piece of art, custom framing project or home décor to meet any design style.

Southeast Seasonal Pouring TipsStates Included: North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, Florida
Climate Overview:
The predominant weather is warm and humid. Precipitation is frequent, and can be heavy. Annual rainfall averages 40 to 60 inches. There is a distinctive wet and dry season for most of this region. The wet season runs from June to October, with the dry season running through the winter into early summer. Frost and winter freezing spells can occur, but do not last long. The farther south you go, the rarer frost and cold weather become. Exterior concrete is poured year-round, but special attention is needed due to extreme summer heat and sudden downpours. This entire region is vulnerable to Atlantic hurricanes during the hurricane season, which runs from June through November.
Climate (December - March): Winters are mild throughout most of this region. This is the dry season and conditions are most favorable during this time of year for exterior concrete work. Temperatures range from 60 F to 80 F, with freezing temperatures very rare. Rain is infrequent, but hit-and-miss rain showers can occur.
Mix Designs: Because of the warm year-round climate, most exterior concrete mix designs have compressive strengths of 3000 psi concrete and need little in the way of additional chemical set accelerators during the winter. In northern areas of the region, 4000-psi concrete is often specified and set accelerators and air entrainment may be used if necessary.
Placement and Curing Practices: Mild temperatures and moderate humidity allow for relatively easy placement and curing of concrete in these regions during the winter. Cold-weather concrete practices are rarely, if ever, used. However, the use of curing compounds is still recommended, especially in the wind-prone coastal areas.
Special Equipment: Since this region has mild winter temperatures, there are no special equipment requirements when placing concrete in the winter.
Climate (March – April): Spring brings increasing humidity and temperatures. Rain can become more frequent, but it is still considered part of the dry season. Temperatures are still moderate, and exterior concrete work is preformed with little concern for extreme weather.
Mix Designs: Standard mix designs are the norm. Adding fly ash and set retarders into mixes is normal as the temperatures start to increase.
Placement and Curing Practices: Hot-weather concreting practices become more critical as the temperatures start to increase.
Special Equipment: Sprayers to apply curing compounds and surface set retarders during hot weather.
Climate (May – September): Hot and humid! Even coastal areas experience hot conditions. Along with the warmer weather comes the tropical monsoon season, with almost daily afternoon downpours of rain, sometimes with heavy winds. In most areas of this region, summer can be the most demanding time of year to pour exterior concrete.
Mix Designs: When hot conditions do exist, hydration stabilizers, fly ash, and water reducers are common admixtures used in this region to extend working life without affecting performance. The use of ice in mix water is also common to cool the concrete during mixing transport.
Placement and Curing Practices: Hot-weather concreting practices are the norm in the summer months. With the high heat and oppressive humidity, placement and curing of concrete may require extreme measures. In most areas, all concrete placement is recommended to take place before 10 a.m. On many larger projects, concrete is placed at night or during the early morning hours to avoid the extreme heat of the day and to allow concrete to set before afternoon rains. Rapid surface hydration is always a threat, so surface evaporative control agents and curing compounds are common on exterior concrete placements.
Special Equipment: Sprayers to apply curing compounds and surface evaporative control agents; plastic sheeting for protection from rain.
Climate (October – November): Fall temperatures can still be quite hot, with high humidity. This is the heart of hurricane season, so constant monitoring of the weather forecast is important since major storms can last for days and do major damage.
Mix Designs: Standard mix designs are the norm. Eliminating fly ash and set retarders in mixes is normal as the temperatures start to decrease.
Placement and Curing Practices: Hot-weather concreting practices are in effect well into the fall in most areas of the region. The use of plastic sheeting for rain protection is also common well into the fall.
Special Equipment: Sprayers to apply curing compounds and surface evaporative control agents; plastic sheeting.

The creative juices were flowing at the Streets for People event in Christchurch on Sunday 1 October. It was great to see so many people out and the streets alive with activity.
As an organisation, we are experimenting with ways in which we can co-create with people, rather than designing for people. So, as part of this event, we encouraged people to re-imagine and co-create parts of the city with us. We hooked up the Arki_lab CoCityApp to a projector, which allowed people to add elements (plants, buildings, people, etc.) to photos of existing sites on a tablet. We also encouraged collage making: add things you would like to see in your city to photos of urban spaces.
What do you think of the results?

Trinity Western College's proposed School of Regulation will serve Canadians by offering the primary Juris Physician program of its kind within the country. About forty three,000 J.D.'s had been handed out in 2009, eleven {b901159911a0210eba4370b20af5cbb8f95c3653726e9ff2e3ee9dfc6c5484c2} greater than a decade earlier, and the number of law faculties retains rising — nine new ones in the last 10 years, and 5 more searching for approval to open sooner or later. It is an argument difficult by the reality that a small fraction of graduates are nonetheless profitable the Large Regulation sweepstakes.
Or perhaps that is more like a recreation of three-card monte, with law schools flipping the aces and a protracted line of keen players, most wagering borrowed cash, in a contest that few of them can win. But improbably sufficient, law colleges have concluded that life for newly minted grads is getting sweeter, at the very least by one crucial measure.
As elusive, and inhospitable, as jobs in Huge Law may be, they're one of many few methods for brand spanking new grads to keep out of delinquency. With a purpose to compile the listing, the Wall Avenue Journal collected information on over 5,000 students beginning at the nation's most prestigious graduate colleges in enterprise, medicine, and regulation packages. Florida Coastal, which had existed for eight years previous to its buy by InfiLaw, almost doubled in measurement, rising from 904 college students in 2004 to 1,741 in 2010. Despite throughout-the-board declines for the previous few years, all three faculties stay among the many largest regulation colleges within the nation. Like lots of directors, she defends the figures she gathers and laments that so many other colleges are manipulating outcomes.
An article final Sunday about law schools misstated the educational historical past of Jason Bohn, a current legislation college graduate.Whereas Mr. Bohn took classes at Columbia Legislation Faculty, his regulation degree is from the College of Florida.
However the legal market has always been obsessed with educational credentials, and today, few students except these with strong grade-point averages at prime nationwide and regional schools can count on a come-hither from a deep-pocketed firm.
