1. It feels good and makes you happy!
2. Happy is good! Good for your health, for your decision-making, for your relationships….. Heck, what isn't it good for?
3. It's good for our world economy – a stretch? Maybe, but what about the recreation dollars we spend even if we're just driving to a great hike in the forest and taking a picnic. And happy people have more capacity to slug through the difficult conversations to get to good collaborative decisions. Tell that to the G-20 – or even the G-8 leaders!
4. We build resilience, defined as the ability to recover quickly from setbacks and elasticity, as in the ability to spring back after things are bent out of shape. Resilience is enhanced through play, through relaxing and through nourishing reflecting. Play regularly to be prepared for life's twists and turns.
5. It makes other people happy.
6. You can get good exercise and increase your cardio vascular functioning.
7. Brain health and well-being.
8. We satisfy our own developmental need to be creative and feel competent.
9. We can be more creative while playing with novel possibilities in an environment where we can be flexible and relaxed.
10. To interact and be reflective without it seeming so serious – "Hey, why did we miss that grounder when Holly hit it?" "What shall our team do next time?"
Play has been described as unplanned behavior, in other words activity that emerges and evolves spontaneously from within its own context. It occurs in a climate that facilitates creativity and innovation. Young children accomplish the majority of their most critical early learning through play. But guess what, adults learn best in the same sort of attitude — relaxed curiosity. We just don't emphasize play nearly as much as can serve us. For children play is considered valuable because it develops their social relationship skills, helps build positive interactions between the child and their classmates, and provides the chance to let off a bit of steam (reduce or prevent anger). It also builds on their skills of sharing and taking turns. Isn't this what we want for ourselves, our families and our teams? Of course it is!
At Collaborative Growth we're declaring July as a great month for playing. We hope you take time to enjoy this beautiful month whether it's quite sunny for you in the northern part of our globe or snow is whitening your world in the southern hemisphere.
We also want to express our gratitude for Freedom. In the United States where we live, July 4th is the day we celebrate our nation's Independence. Let us all embrace freedom with our intentions that really includes liberty and justice for all to help build a world that. Neurologists assure us that seeing requires believing so let's join our combined vision in seeing a world that works for all!
Blessings and our thanks to all of you!

Vomit! Nudity! Litter! Marina Abramovic's Marathon Performance Ends In Chaos
Marina Abramovic's weeks-long performance art piece ends today. It raised important questions about the nature of art. They will probably never be answered. What's certain, though, is that an audience member made themselves vomit, and another stripped nude today.
It's been easily the most buzzed-about performance art piece since James Franco went on General Hospital. The centerpiece of The Artist Is Present, Abramovic's retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art, was a performance where Abramovic sat wordlessly in a chair all day and people lined up to sit across from her. Celebrities like Bjork, Marisa Tomei and James Franco himself lined up and sat down during the piece's 11-week run. Some regular people did too. Some people cried.
Above all, the piece asked, Where does one draw the line between audience and performer? Today, it provided an answer: In such a way that puts the performer out of reach of the audience's projectile vomit. A few hours ago, a man vomited on the floor of the room where Abramovic sat. Here is the vomit:
A spy writes:
He just ran up to the outer ropes stuck his fingers down his throat and threw up. He then stumbled back and tried to throw up again, but not much came out. The guards grabbed him and kicked him out. Marina didn't move the whole time
Now this is criticism! Imagine if instead of writing a scathing takedown of Sex and the City 2, A.O. Scott posted a video to the New York Times' website of him vomiting grape-flavored Kool-Aid on a poster of Sarah Jessica Parker's grotesquely photo-shopped head. Point taken, vomit guy. You did not enjoy this piece!
Another woman today expressed what seems to be the opposite opinion, but in a similarly primal manner. She stripped down in front of hundreds of people. Twitter user Parllelarts documented the incident:
Body as offering. Big deal, this is exactly what happens whenever Robert Pattinson sits down in public.
Finally, another guy also had an opinion. But instead of creatively vomiting or stripping, he boringly wrote down the opinion on pieces of paper. Then he threw them from a balcony into the room. The document was what our spy calls "sort of a bad art school criticism against the exhibit":
C+. (Sentence fragments.)
Consider today's incidents with the fact that many of the nude models in other parts of The Artist is Present complained of visitors groping them. And, yeah, The Artist is Present told us something important about the nature of the audience. We learned that, when given the chance, they'll act like petulant two year-olds fed up with waiting for their chicken fingers at TGI Friday's. Grow up, audiences!

Lyrics: Robert Hunter
Music: Robert Hunter
The fifth part of Robert Hunter's Amagamalin Street Suite - the beginning of Part Two.
The lady was born in Ithica, twenty-three years agoNotes
Wait until the sun shines and the chariot swings low
Go ahead and hitch your line in the time it takes to tell
Hold tight and ride it right, it'll always serve you well
You know, you keep coming back
In the wind of a dream or two
What could I do?
We met on Amagamalin Street a year ago last night
She was with a friend of mime who never treated anyone right
Being as much of a gentleman as my Denver soul permits
I tipped the hat I later lost and there was an end to it
But no, she kept coming back
In the wind of a dream or two
What could I do?
I saw my friend nearly every night, he was drinking himself insane
I once asked how the lady was, he couldn't recollect her name
Which might not seem so strange if they didn't live together
That is, he lived off of her, his real home was the gutter (note 1)
What could I do?
I wasn't raised to rip off friends, I'm low, not out the bottom
Odd beginnings have common ends, ask the ones who brought 'em
It's not like he needed her to save him from disaster
That's not exactly how it is with a thrird-rate punch-drunk bastard
She kept coming back
On the wings of a dream
What could I do?
What could I do?
I had eyes for a full-time scene but her words didn't fit my song
I understood that all out front, she never led me on
The truth is: her crossed gray eyes made it easy to do wrong
Thinking back I realize I was doing it all along
The way she kept coming back
On the winds of a dream or two
What could I do?
What could I do?

This begins Part Two, which is Murphy's narration. He speaks of Maggie and of the circumstances that, depsite his friendship for Chet, caused him to try to win her away. This song begins a series of flashbacks that continues until the last song.

Conrad married the girl next door! When he first arrived in Boerne, Conrad lived and worked on the Dr. Ferdinand Herff farm. The Joseph Bergmann family was his closest neighbor. The houses were within easy walking distance from each other and so I think it is safe to say that Conrad saw the Bergmann family fairly regularly. In particular, Adalbertha. They were married on 16 February 1856 by Albert Moye, JP of the third precinct. Witnesses were H. G. Froebel and Anton Beyer. Their marriage license was recorded in the Bexar County Court House in San Antonio on 18 February 1856.

CDs and DVDs not only look alike, but also feel alike. Imagine not being able to see the words "CD" or "DVD" printed on the disc. How would you know what it was? You wouldn't! To help blind consumers, Japan's Mitsubishi Kagaku Media has released CD-R with braille on the disc's surface. Each CD holds 700MB of data, and they are packaged 10 discs to a box. To create the braille characters, two layers of Mitsubishi Kagaku-developed high viscosity ink were used. The discs are also covered in a special gloss to make them more tactile. Japan in general shows great consideration toward its blind citizens, going as far as to place special paths with raised bumps on sidewalks and train platforms for them to use as a guide and to outfit crosswalks with beeping noises to indicate when it is safe to cross. Just another example.

Most prelim fighters pinch pennies as they work their way onto the main card, but Daron Cruickshank wants a new toy.
Cruickshank (13-3 MMA, 3-1 UFC), who meets Adriano Martins (24-6 MMA, 0-0 UFC) tonight on the MMAjunkie.com-streamed preliminary card of UFC Fight Night 32, hopes to earn a stoppage victory that will bring him a $50,000 bonus. He's got shopping to do.
"I plan on trying to knock him out and winning a huge bonus and buying a Polaris Raptor so I can go off-roading all the time," he told MMAjunkie.com Radio.
UFC Fight Night 32 takes place at Goiania Arena in Goiania, Goias, Brazil. Main-card fights air live on FOX Sports 1.
The 28-year-old Cruickshank makes his fifth octagon appearance at the event, and while his fan-friendly style has entertained audiences, it hasn't brought him any extra money as far as the disclosed "Fight of the Night" checks doled out following UFC fight cards.
In his octagon debut at UFC on FOX 7, Cruickshank knocked out Henry Martinez with a picture perfect head kick. Unfortunately, he fought on the card alongside veteran Yves Edwards, who impressively knocked out his opponent with elbows and punches, and there went a potential reward.
Another payout might have been possible in a bout against striking specialist John Makdessi, but Cruickshank admits he made a several mistake going into the fight.
"I put his skills and ability on a pedestal, and I gave him too much respect," he said. "I didn't go after him like I normally do. That's something I learned from that fight. Now, I barely watch tape and make the fight my own."
Perhaps it helps that his current opponent is making his UFC debut and doesn't have an extensive reel of fight footage to help opponents plan. Martins' sole experience under the Zuffa umbrella is a decision over vet Jorge Gurgel in the now-defunct Strikeforce banner.
In any event, Cruickshank plans on adding to his highlight tape. With some luck, the bonus gods will be with him. ATVs aren't just for having fun, after all.
"It's the perfect zombie outbreak response vehicle," he said.
He's also got plans for who tags along when the stuff hits the proverbial fan.
"I'd definitely choose myself (in a zombie apocalypse), because I'm the ultimate," Cruickshank said. "Uriah Faber, because he's so positive, and he keeps a positive outlook on everything. And he's kind of tiny, so he's not going to eat a lot during survival. Michael Chiesa, because he's got a huge beard, and it will protect him and everyone else, (and) Cristiano (Marcello), because he can triangle any zombie and rip their head off."

In celebration of its 30th anniversary, The Norris Center for the Performing Arts in Rolling Hills Estates is hosting a legend.
Debbie Reynolds, singer, dancer, actor, comedian, author and all around nice gal, will take the stage Friday Sept. 6 in "An Evening with Debbie Reynolds."
"It will be a variety show," said Reynolds during a phone interview. "Every show is a little different because every audience is different."
Reynolds has starred in such classic films as, "Singing in the Rain," "Tammy and the Bachelor," "The Pleasure of His Company," "How the West Was Won," and she was nominated for an Academy Award for her performance in the title role of "The Unsinkable Molly Brown."
Reynolds recently played Liberace's mother Frances in the critically acclaimed HBO movie, "Behind the Candelabra."
"I've loved performing ever since I was a little girl; I've had such a wonderful career," said Reynolds, 81, who says she has no plans to retire. "If you love what you do, it's not work."
Her vaudevillian-style show will be a mix of memorable songs, film clips and stories — all first-hand accounts — of Reynolds' friendships with some of the most famous and iconic celebrities of stage and screen, including Frank Sinatra, Cary Grant, Clark Gable, Donald O'Connor, Gene Kelly, Cyd Charisse, Ann Miller and so many more. Reynolds also does impressions of Greta Garbo, Katherine Hepburn and Mae West.
This is Reynolds' second time at the Norris, her first visit was 15 years ago. She said she's looking forward to playing at the intimate 450-seat theatre.
"I've played all kinds of venues big and small and I've loved them all, but the audience seems to have more fun at a smaller venue; there's more interaction," said Reynolds who released her new autobiography, "Unsinkable: A Memoir," in April. "They can yell out to me and I can answer questions. I love it when the audience gets into the act. My hope is that they will come, spend an evening with Debbie, laugh, listen to music and for one evening, get away from any of their troubles."
Norris' Artistic Director James Gruessing couldn't be happier about having Reynolds kick off the season. In fact, he's pretty tickled about the whole 30th season.
"This is a pretty ambitious season full of wonderful productions and what better way to start things off then with an icon?" Gruessing said. "When she was here before, she was so well received — a real favorite — so we thought, why not try to get her back? I'm so glad that we did."
The Norris Center's 2013-14 season includes the Tony Award-winning musical comedies "The Producers" and "The Drowsy Chaperone" and a comedy based on Alfred Hitchcock's thriller "The 39 Steps," Irving Berlin's beloved holiday musical "White Christmas" and — as part of the "Norris Presents" series, a concert presentation of the hit Broadway musical "Ragtime," staged with a full orchestra, costumes and cast.
"This is probably the biggest season in my nine years at the Norris," Gruessing said. "I'm a little nervous, but a whole lot of excited. It's such a great thing to be able to do these kinds of wonderful shows."

To create a new table in your schema, you must have the
CREATE TABLE system privilege. To create a table in another user's schema, you must have the
CREATE ANY TABLE system privilege. Additionally, the owner of the table must have a quota for the tablespace that contains the table, or the
UNLIMITED TABLESPACE system privilege.
Create tables using the SQL statement
This section contains the following topics:
See Also:Oracle Database SQL Language Reference for exact syntax of the
CREATE TABLE and other SQL statements discussed in this chapter
When you issue the following statement, you create a table named
admin_emp in the
hr schema and store it in the
admin_tbs tablespace with an initial extent size of 50K:
CREATE TABLE hr.admin_emp ( empno NUMBER(5) PRIMARY KEY, ename VARCHAR2(15) NOT NULL, ssn NUMBER(9) ENCRYPT, job VARCHAR2(10), mgr NUMBER(5), hiredate DATE DEFAULT (sysdate), photo BLOB, sal NUMBER(7,2), hrly_rate NUMBER(7,2) GENERATED ALWAYS AS (sal/2080), comm NUMBER(7,2), deptno NUMBER(3) NOT NULL CONSTRAINT admin_dept_fkey REFERENCES hr.departments (department_id)) TABLESPACE admin_tbs STORAGE ( INITIAL 50K);
Note the following about this example:
Integrity constraints are defined on several columns of the table.
Encryption is defined on one column (
ssn), through the transparent data encryption feature of Oracle Database. The Oracle Wallet must therefore be open for this
TABLE statement to succeed.
photo column is of data type
BLOB, which is a member of the set of data types called large objects (LOBs). LOBs are used to store semi-structured data (such as an XML tree) and unstructured data (such as the stream of bits in a color image).
One column is defined as a virtual column (
hrly_rate). This column computes the employee's hourly rate as the yearly salary divided by 2,080.

Temporary tables are useful in applications where a result set is to be buffered (temporarily persisted), perhaps because it is constructed by running multiple DML operations. For example, consider the following:
A Web-based airlines reservations application allows a customer to create several optional itineraries. Each itinerary is represented by a row in a temporary table. The application updates the rows to reflect changes in the itineraries. When the customer decides which itinerary she wants to use, the application moves the row for that itinerary to a persistent table.
During the session, the itinerary data is private. At the end of the session, the optional itineraries are dropped.
The definition of a temporary table is visible to all sessions, but the data in a temporary table is visible only to the session that inserts the data into the table.
Use the
CREATE GLOBAL TEMPORARY TABLE statement to create a temporary table. The
ON COMMIT clause indicates if the data in the table is transaction-specific (the default) or session-specific, the implications of which are as follows:
|ON COMMIT Setting
|This creates a temporary table that is transaction specific. A session becomes bound to the temporary table with a transactions first insert into the table. The binding goes away at the end of the transaction. The database truncates the table (delete all rows) after each commit.
|This creates a temporary table that is session specific. A session gets bound to the temporary table with the first insert into the table in the session. This binding goes away at the end of the session or by issuing a
TRUNCATE of the table in the session. The database truncates the table when you terminate the session.
This statement creates a temporary table that is transaction specific:
CREATE GLOBAL TEMPORARY TABLE admin_work_area (startdate DATE, enddate DATE, class CHAR(20)) ON COMMIT DELETE ROWS;
Indexes can be created on temporary tables. They are also temporary and the data in the index has the same session or transaction scope as the data in the underlying table.
By default, rows in a temporary table are stored in the default temporary tablespace of the user who creates it. However, you can assign a temporary table to another tablespace upon creation of the temporary table by using the
TABLESPACE clause of
CREATE GLOBAL TEMPORARY TABLE. You can use this feature to conserve space used by temporary tables. For example, if you need to perform many small temporary table operations and the default temporary tablespace is configured for sort operations and thus uses a large extent size, these small operations will consume lots of unnecessary disk space. In this case it is better to allocate a second temporary tablespace with a smaller extent size.
The following two statements create a temporary tablespace with a 64 KB extent size, and then a new temporary table in that tablespace.
CREATE TEMPORARY TABLESPACE tbs_t1 TEMPFILE 'tbs_t1.f' SIZE 50m REUSE AUTOEXTEND ON MAXSIZE UNLIMITED EXTENT MANAGEMENT LOCAL UNIFORM SIZE 64K; CREATE GLOBAL TEMPORARY TABLE admin_work_area (startdate DATE, enddate DATE, class CHAR(20)) ON COMMIT DELETE ROWS TABLESPACE tbs_t1;
See Also:"Temporary Tablespaces"
Unlike permanent tables, temporary tables and their indexes do not automatically allocate a segment when they are created. Instead, segments are allocated when the first
INSERT (or
SELECT) is performed. This means that if a
UPDATE, or
DELETE is performed before the first
INSERT, the table appears to be empty.
DDL operations (except
TRUNCATE) are allowed on an existing temporary table only if no session is currently bound to that temporary table.
If you rollback a transaction, the data you entered is lost, although the table definition persists.
A transaction-specific temporary table allows only one transaction at a time. If there are several autonomous transactions in a single transaction scope, each autonomous transaction can use the table only as soon as the previous one commits.
Because the data in a temporary table is, by definition, temporary, backup and recovery of temporary table data is not available in the event of a system failure. To prepare for such a failure, you should develop alternative methods for preserving temporary table data.
When you specify the
AS SELECT clause to create a table and populate it with data from another table, you can utilize parallel execution. The
CREATE TABLE...AS SELECT statement contains two parts: a
CREATE part (DDL) and a
SELECT part (query). Oracle Database can parallelize both parts of the statement. The
CREATE part is parallelized if one of the following is true:
PARALLEL clause is included in the
CREATE TABLE...AS SELECT statement
ALTER SESSION FORCE PARALLEL DDL statement is specified
The query part is parallelized if all of the following are true:
The query includes a parallel hint specification (
PARALLEL or
PARALLEL_INDEX) or the
CREATE part includes the
PARALLEL clause or the schema objects referred to in the query have a
PARALLEL declaration associated with them.
At least one of the tables specified in the query requires either a full table scan or an index range scan spanning multiple partitions.
If you parallelize the creation of a table, that table then has a parallel declaration (the
PARALLEL clause) associated with it. Any subsequent DML or queries on the table, for which parallelization is possible, will attempt to use parallel execution.
The following simple statement parallelizes the creation of a table and stores the result in a compressed format, using table compression:
CREATE TABLE hr.admin_emp_dept PARALLEL COMPRESS AS SELECT * FROM hr.employees WHERE department_id = 10;
In this case, the
PARALLEL clause tells the database to select an optimum number of parallel execution servers when creating the table.

Schlipf paces Titans past Falcons
The supporting cast was key as El Paso-Gridley defeated Flanagan-Cornell 64-52 in a Heart of Illinois Conference boys basketball contest Tuesday night.
The top two scorers for EPG and for the Falcons combined for 40 points each. The Titans had five other players combine for 24 points while Flanagan-Cornell had three players score 12.
The big guns were firing for each team. Bodee Schlipf registered a double double with game highs in points and rebounds for EPG. He finished with 29 points and 17 boards as Titans' top man.
Matt Harrison tallied 24 points before fouling out for the Falcons with 1:19 to go in the game.
Flanagan-Cornell led 14-13 after one quarter but the Titans outscored the home team 23-13 in the second for a 36-27 halftime advantage. EPG added to its lead in the third period as the score moved to 52-42.
The Falcons got to within five points on several occasions in the second half but could get no closer.
El Paso-Gridley won the battle of the boards 37-23 and the defense helped force 16 Flanagan-Cornell turnovers.
Both teams shot well from the line as the Titans finished 9 of 11 and the Falcons were 12-for-14.
Luke Wilson contributed 11 points for the Titans (4-3, 2-1). Dylan Steffen added 9 points and Taylor Augsburger scored 5.
Tanner Bertsche chipped in 16 for the Falcons (4-4). Chad Gundy and Alec Dutko each finished with 5 points.

Ready or not, the Noid is back.
Domino's announced today that their long defunct mascot is making a comeback. Starting today Domino's will feature the Noid in an arcade-style video game on its Facebook page for one week, awarding a free pizza coupon every minute to the player with the highest score. After "liking" Domino's Facebook page, the player enters the game with a group of other free pizza hopefuls. The actual game consists of moving pizza targets that the player must shoot in a given time limit, avoiding the Noid's face and the tomatoes he throws. It's simple mouse clicking exercise, but at the end your score is given in relation to the rest of your group, so you can be jealous of the winner's free pizza. Maybe try to friend them, they might give you a slice.
For those of you who are too young to remember the Noid, or have just blocked his imp-like image from your memories, the Noid was the Domino's mascot in the late 80s, a mischievous character who's goal in life was to ruin Domino's pizza wherever it might be found, thus the slogan, "Avoid The Noid!"
For some reason people thought the Noid was a great character for a video game. In 1989 Avoid the Noid was released for the Commodore 64 and DOS, putting the player in the shoes of a pizza delivery boy trying to avoid the annoying Noid. In 1990 Capcom dropped Yo! Noid on the world, giving players control of the Noid on the NES as he fights against his evil counterpart, Mr. Green. Best of all, there was a $1 off Domino's coupon included with the manual.
Why wouldn't the player get control of a mascot they were told to avoid? Why is there a man in a red suit attacking pizzas? Is he even human? Why does this annoying character exist at all? And most importantly, why is he back? Love or (more likely) hate him, the Noid is back in our world, now we just have to brace ourselves for the return of the California Raisins and the 7up Cool Spot.
Domino's floppy-eared Noid is returning for a week after a 23-year absence [Washington Post]

Man Pulls Gun on Taco Bell Employee Over Hot Sauce Mix-Up
Jeremy Combs couldn't bear the thought of eating Taco Bell without some extra spice.
So when the 30-year-old returned home from the the fast food restaurant and found no hot sauce in his order, he hopped right into his pick up truck, drove back to Taco Bell, and pulled a shotgun on the drive-thru worker responsible for the oversight.
The employee dove back into the store and called the cops who found Combs an hour later, back at home. Initially, Combs didn't deny the lack of hot sauce had sent him into a rage, but claimed he had brandished a tire iron, not a shotgun.
That story fell apart when surveillance video showed Combs with a shotgun, which the police found in his residence. Combs was then arrested on various federal and state charges. It should come as no surprise that his rap sheet already included 14 felony arrests and three felony convictions -- no word on how many were condiment-related.

Cedefop presented new evidence on the demand for artificial intelligence (AI) skills, as revealed in the job vacancies of EU employers, and its research on automation risk and the responsiveness of vocational education and training (VET) systems to the future of work challenges, at an international conference on AI and education in Beijing on 16 to 18 May.
The conference was organised by UNESCO, the Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China, the Chinese National Commission for UNESCO and the Beijing Municipal People's Government. Over 230 representatives from 105 member states took part, including more than 60 ministers, deputy ministers or permanent secretaries. Around 100 speakers and participants from UN agencies, international organisations, academia, civil society and the private sector discussed emerging policies and strategies for leveraging AI's possibilities for reshaping education provision and allowing progress towards meeting the UN's strategic development goals (SDGs) of the education 2030 agenda. The conference gave opportunities to participants to network with top-level Chinese experts in the AI area and leading Chinese companies in the field of AI in education.
It was recognised that AI can help countries overcome major challenges in achieving the SDGs, such as reducing barriers to education access, automating management processes, analysing learning patterns and optimising learning processes with a view to improving learning outcomes.
Employers' needs for AI skills
Cedefop expert Konstantinos Pouliakas presented evidence from the agency's digitalisation and future of work project at a session on anticipation and development of skills needed for work and life in an AI era. The session focused on the capacities of education and training systems to proactively respond to changes in labour markets, including: what occupations are at risk with the advent of AI, and what new occupations are being created; how education and training systems can anticipate these changes to equip the existing workforce and prepare new generations with job skills to succeed in the AI era; how the private sector can be involved in the governance, financing and management of technical and vocational education and training programmes.
Cedefop showed evidence on the extent to which automation is likely to pose a risk for occupations and sectors in EU labour markets. Based on unique data on the skill needs of EU jobs from the European skills and jobs survey, Mr Pouliakas argued that about 14% of EU adult employees' jobs face a very high risk of automation. Around 40% of EU jobs are likely to see a significant part of their skill needs and tasks transformed, highlighting the critical importance of investing in employees' continuing skill development.
The presentation also showcased first efforts by Cedefop to extract information on the demand for AI skills as expressed by employers in 11 EU countries. Using novel information from Cedefop's prototype and newly released skills online vacancy analysis tool for Europe (Skills OVATE), evidence was presented that demand for AI skills (e.g. machine learning, deep learning, image recognition, natural language processing etc.) is still concentrated in specialised ICT fields, such as systems analysts. But it is also gaining traction among database and network professionals, electrical engineers and technicians and metal working machine tools operators.
The tool highlights that AI skills are part and parcel of a whole array of different skill needs, most notably soft skills like adaptability to change, foreign languages for international careers, project management and teamwork, even among highly specialised AI occupations.
VET in an AI era
This evidence implies that a truly AI-proof education is one that seeks to employ an interdisciplinary approach in which data and technological/digital skills are complemented by other key competences. A recent data collection by Cedefop's ReferNet network on the responsiveness of EU VET systems to the future of work technologies underlines that many EU countries are seeking to reform their VET programmes and curricula towards that direction, combining science, technology and engineering with arts and media design courses.
As part of its digitalisation and future of work project, Cedefop continues to investigate the implications that AI will have on EU labour markets, including investigation of how algorithmic management of workers employed in the platform economy is affecting their skills development and mismatch (CrowdLEARN study).
Cedefop has launched the 2nd European skills and jobs survey to collect comparative EU-wide information enabling investigation of the impact of technological change and digitalisation (including automation) on workers' skill mismatch/obsolescence and their readiness to adapt to changing skill needs via remedial learning practices. Cedefop will also continue to collect evidence on VET policies and practices adopted by EU Member States to ensure that they are digital frontrunners in the technology race and that all EU citizens can enjoy the marked benefits that will be made possible due to rapid technical advances in the AI era.

Ford's loss of $129 million last quarter and sinking consumer demand have encouraged the company to combine employee pricing with 0% financing on nine models. So Toyota buyers won't be the only ones Saved By Zero. What's the catch? Zero-percent financing is only available on the company's nine most fuel-efficient vehicles. But here is where it gets complicated. The Employee pricing doesn't apply to the 2009 Ford F-150, but you can get 0% financing on the new F-150. This plan also doesn't include the 2009 Mercury Mariner Hybrid or 2009 Ford Escape Hybrid, two of the most fuel-efficient vehicles. If you were hoping to save money on a Shelby GT500 you're also out of luck. Press release with details below the jump.
FORD OFFERS BRAND NEW BONUS INCENTIVE FOR FUEL-EFFICIENT VEHICLES PLUS EMPLOYEE PRICING * Ford, Lincoln and Mercury are announcing a new plan to offer employee discount pricing plus additional cash back for customers who purchase a range of 2008 or 2009 Ford, Lincoln or Mercury cars, crossovers or trucks between Wednesday and Jan. 5 * Zero percent financing for 36 months will be offered as an additional 'plus' for buyers of the company's most fuel-efficient 2009 cars, crossovers and trucks * Ford Credit provides additional $500 Ford Credit Bonus Cash on most Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models DEARBORN, Mich., Nov. 18, 2008 – Ford is offering a first-ever bonus incentive tied to fuel-efficient vehicles, extending an extra benefit to customers beyond "Employee Pricing Plus" deals it's already offering across its 2009 Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicle lineup. Customers who buy one of the company's nine most fuel-efficient Ford, Lincoln or Mercury vehicles will be offered the bonus incentive of 0 percent financing from Ford Credit for 36 months in addition to Employee Pricing. The fuel-efficient vehicles include: * Ford Focus, delivering up to 35 mpg: The sporty small car comes equipped with a standard 2.0-liter, I-4 Duratec 20 engine producing 140 horsepower and mated to a five-speed manual transmission or a four-speed automatic transmission. * Ford Fusion, up to 29 mpg: The current model of this mid-size car is a leader in driving dynamics, offering up 29 mpg on the highway, with the front-wheel-drive Fusion's 2.3-liter, four-cylinder engine. * Ford Escape, up to 28 mpg: Equipped with a new 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, six-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive, Ford Escape delivers best-in-class fuel economy in the small SUV segment with 28 mpg highway/20 mpg city. * Ford Flex, to up 24 mpg: With front-wheel drive, the Ford Flex offers unsurpassed fuel economy in its segment – up to 24 mpg on the highway. Even with standout fuel economy, Flex offers creature comforts and room for up to seven passengers. * Mercury Milan, up to 29 mpg: Mercury's most fuel-efficient car delivers up to 29 mpg on the highway, courtesy of it 2.3-liter, four-cylinder engine. * Mercury Mariner, up to 28 mpg: New, 171 hp, 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with intake variable cam timing enhances fuel economy and performance, gaining 2 mpg in highway fuel economy when equipped with the new six-speed transmission. * Lincoln MKZ, up to 28 mpg: Equipped with Duratec 3.5-liter V-6 engine, the Lincoln MKZ features a premium six-speed automatic transmission with standard electronic stability control. * Lincoln MKS, up to 24 mpg: Powered by a new 3.7-liter V-6 engine, this Lincoln MKS powertrain has been derived from the proven 3.5-liter V-6 found in the Lincoln MKX and MKZ, which was voted one of Ward's 10-Best Engines for 2007 – and delivering fuel economy among the best in its class. * New F-150, up to 21 mpg: Unsurpassed fuel economy in the full-size pickup segment delivering up to 21 miles per gallon highway with F-150 SFE "superior fuel economy" edition. Note: 2009 F-150 not included in the "Employee Pricing Plus" program – but is eligible for the special 0 percent financing offer tied to the company's most fuel-efficient models. "Ford is bullish on fuel economy," said Ken Czubay, Ford's vice president of Sales and Marketing. "Each new and significantly freshened vehicle we've brought to market in the past year has the best or among the best fuel economy in its segment, and we want to provide customers an extra reason to drive one of these high-quality, fuel-efficient cars, crossovers and trucks." The Plan Beginning Wednesday and running through Jan. 5, Ford, Lincoln and Mercury are making their highly prized employee discount pricing even more attractive through the "Employee Pricing Plus" program. The special incentive not only offers customers employee pricing on most 2008 and 2009 Ford, Lincoln Mercury models but will additionally offer up to $6,000 cash back. Alternatively, if customers select one of Ford's most fuel-efficient vehicles, they will have the option for 0 percent financing for 36 months. For example: Excluded from the Employee Pricing Plus plan are 09MY F-150, 08/09MY Escape/Mariner Hybrids, 08/09MY Shelby GT500, F-Series chassis cabs models and E-Series cutaways models. "Now is the best time to buy one of our Ford, Lincoln or Mercury vehicles," says Czubay. "The Ford Employee Pricing Plus program offers customers an unparalleled value on Ford's fuel-efficient, technology-leading, high-quality lineup."

Yesterday started with a bang. A gun shot kind of bang. It was Dale's 30th birthday yesterday, and I had big plans to spend most of the day in the kitchen, making him a delicious Birthday supper.
I was just washing breakfast dishes and planning my agenda for the day, when I see a couple of my sweet lil' pet chickens race by.
"Aw, they are so adorable," I think to myself.
Next thing I know, they are racing back the opposite direction. That's weird, they almost seem scared.
Then I see him. A FOX in my front yard chasing my pet chickens!!!!
Now call me a countrified city girl, but I sprung into action. That sly old Fox was NOT going to eat my cute little feathered friends for his breakfast!!!!! I raced out the front door in my bathrobe and slippers yelling at the top of my lungs for him to GET OUT OF HERE! Whether it was my mean voice or the site of me flying after him in my bathrobe, he stopped chasing chickens, turned tail and ran for the hills. That outta show him!
I call Dale and tell him what just occurred and in true Dale form he says: "Honey, get out the gun."
He must have thought that through a bit, because the next thing he did was turn around and came back home to "help me find all the frightened chickens and lock them up for the rest of the day". How thoughtful! Oh, and while he was home he gave me a refresher course in how to shoot a rifle. I aimed at some birds, but managed to clip the clothesline instead. {This may have something to do with why he turned around to come home????} 😉
So ya better run Mr. Fox, I've got 15 bullets in this here gun, and I plan to use every single one of them until I learn to aim better!
Much to my relief, he didn't return, and I didn't have to use that big bad gun after all…..not today at least!
Or ever? {Fingers crossed}
After all this hullabaloo, it was already time to get Tylan from school, and I had not gotten one thing done in the kitchen, too late now. Off we went to pick up big brother.
A friend of ours from church, had offered for us to come cut some flowers in her backyard and I wanted some for our dinner table. She has thousands of tulips in her backyard, it is just LOVELY! Despite the kids not being dressed for photos, I grabbed my camera to snap a few shots before flower picking, then it was back home for a quick-lunch and nap. This momma had work to do!!!
During his photos, Paxton discovers grass is a bit tickly….
And that big white doggies have wet noses.
This dog was SO awesome! Super sweet and gentle with the kids.
As I thought about Dale's 30th birthday in months past, I had much bigger ideas up my sleeve, like having a HUGE shin-dig half way between both our 30th birthday's, (mine is in August) and throwing a themed party with live music, big white tent on the lawn, great food, and tons of friends. We have the yard for it, why not?!
Oh wait, I remember why not: there's the fact that we have 4 kids and a mortgage and a shoestring budget these days, no room for "extra's" right now. So, I went for more of a "it's the thought that counts" sort of event, and he LOVED it! 🙂 Yay for easy to please hubby's!
This is how it went down…….
Kids to Nana's: Check.
Set up Dining for 2 on the screened in porch: Check.
Ipod playing "our" songs: Check.
Fresh flowers picked earlier today: Check.
Appetizer: Pepper Pecan Brie from Pampered Chef (YUM)
1/2 cup pecan halves
1 Jalapeno, stemmed and seeded
Heaping 1/4 cup Apricot Preserves
1 – 4 inch, 8 oz. round of Brie cheese, room temperature
1 loaf french bagette
Pre-heat oven to 425*. Roughly chop pecans, set aside. Finely chop jalapeno. Mix jalapeno with apricot preserves. Cut Brie in half, place cut side up on pizza stone. Cover with half of the apricot mixture. Sprinkle with half the pecan halves. Stack second half of Brie, cut side on and cover with remaining apricot mixture. Sprinkle with remaining pecan halves.
Cut French Bagette loaf into bite sized pieces. Spray with Olive oil and place around Brie on pizza stone. Bake for 8-10 minutes until bread is golden brown and Brie is starting to get melty. Let stand 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm for best results.
This was SO delicious!!!!
Supper time: Steak, Horseradish potatoes, steamed broccoli and homemade bread.
(It was SO amaaaazing, Kasey! I must have that recipe ASAP!)
Here is Dale reading his "card" (aka yesterday's post printed off for him to read). "30 Reasons I Love Dale". He loved it!
And lastly, Dale's birthday dessert of choice:
Lemon Pudding Dessert
I bet most of you have this recipe already, since it's a church potluck favorite. It can be made with any pudding flavor your heart desires, but here is the recipe, just in case you don't have it.
1st layer: 1 stick butter melted. Add 1 cup flour and 1/2 cup chopped pecans. Mix butter and flour mixture, and press in the bottom of a 9×13 pan. Bake at 350* for 15 minutes. Cool for 15 more.
2nd layer: 8 oz cream cheese, softened mixed with 1 cup powdered sugar. Mix well and stir in 1 cup cool whip from an 8 oz container. Spread over cooled crust.
3rd layer: 2 pkgs. Instant lemon pudding blended with 3 cups milk. Spread over cream cheese layer.
4th layer: Top with remaining cool whip and sprinkle with pecans. Let chill overnight or for a few hours before serving.
Serves 12.
Updated photo: 2013
The idea was to have a leisurely dinner without kid interruptions, spills or requests for more of this or that. It was peaceful and nice to talk like grown ups, but it wasn't long before we got to missing our 4 little Ferguson's, so we headed over to Nana's to have dessert all as a family. Destiny had practiced pecking out the notes to "Happy Birthday" on her pink keyboard so she could play her daddy a song, and each child had made a card for him, stating what they loved about him most.
Destiny said he makes the best fish and drew a picture of him fishing at the lake. Tylan's card said thank you for taking me to school and for cooking me fish and a bagel. Mmm, now there is a breakfast of champions! Avery's said: You are a good fisher.
Can you tell daddy went fishing the other day and brought home 14 big ones? That guy can fry up a mean pan of fish!
All in all it was a great day, exhausting, (especially with Paxton being up all night the night before) but still great!! So with that being said, I am headed to bed. Good night!
Have a great weekend! Thank God It's Friday!

"No grandma wants her granddaughter working here," said Brian Michael, owner of Augie's. "My grandma doesn't want me working here."
That about sums up this topless bar, located on one of downtown Minneapolis' most notorious corners. Every weekend, 5th and Hennepin turns into a busy crossroads for the entertainment district's staggering mass of drunken clubgoers.
Augie's has existed here for 70 years, starting as a regular old cabaret. These days it's more like a raucous hip-hop club. When rappers talk about "making it rain" (throwing fistfuls of money at a stripper), this is the type of place they're talking about.
Strip clubs tend to remain discreet about their operation. Augie's drives so hard in the opposite direction that Michael is seeking to turn his club into a reality TV show. For two years he's been filming and editing demos for a show he calls "99 Problems," a phrase made famous by a Jay-Z song. Recently, he formed a partnership with producer Christine Evey, who's worked on "America's Got Talent." They are in the process of cutting what is called a "sizzle reel" and shopping it to cable TV.
Michael offered to let me and a photographer spend a night inside his club, getting a preview of sorts to the real "99 Problems."
9:45 p.m. - The Batcave
Saturdays begin slowly, like a snake coiled before a fight. Michael, athletic and blond, walks into the bar wearing a V-neck, skinny jeans and running shoes. He looks the opposite of the crowd, a white guy among a mostly black clientele.
In the club's small office, which is outfitted like a Big Brother command center, he lords over a high-tech security system. Forty-nine cameras give him eyes and ears everywhere -- in the VIP section, the alley, on the street. His multi-screen setup looks like something out of "The Dark Knight."
"My business is riddled with presumptions," he explains. "If there's bad stuff happening on the sidewalk, the perception is it's happening inside, too."
Cops speak highly of his operation. "They work well with the police," said Minneapolis police Sgt. Steve McCarty.
Augie's had 55 police calls in the past 12 months, which McCarty said is not excessive for a downtown club. Envy, the problem nightspot that recently closed under city pressure, had 133.
10:20 p.m. - God save them
Michael moves the joystick on his desk, rotating an outside camera: "We have a prayer group on the sidewalk."
Seven Bethel University students are sitting in a circle just feet from the front door, Bibles in hand. He steps outside to chat with them. A cop is already there, telling the kids to go home for their own safety.
As always, Michael is extremely direct: "I've seen someone shot here. Someone was murdered over there."
One of the students thanks Michael: "We just want everyone to know that we care about them and God does, too."
10:35 p.m. - College?
Backstage, the women walk around topless. The managers are all men, but the place feels strangely de-sexualized. The women talk about their lives outside these walls -- their other jobs, their families, college.
In the hallway, Michael talks with dancer Shayla Pittman, who calls herself Passion.
"How's school going?" he asks, knowing that she still isn't enrolled.
"I'm still working on that," the 20-year-old says.
10:55 p.m. - Bad parenting
"Is that a baby?!" Michael yells at his computer screen.
A toddler is standing under one of the cameras on Hennepin. Michael radios to his staff to get out there and find the child's parents.
"There's something going wrong with this world," he says.
11:45 p.m. - Mace your face
Michael steps outside himself, just as two men start to fight on the corner. He intervenes with his security team. One of his guys threatens to mace the primary troublemaker: "Don't make me spray you."
Right then, a police officer barges in, yelling at the man, "I'll spray you!"
The cloud of mace sends the guy hacking down the block. Three women in short skirts walk into the crossfire and start coughing, too.
12:05 a.m. - Meet Precious
We jump in Michael's white Mercedes, headed for his 31st-floor condo a few blocks away. He's a health nut and needs his protein shake.
The thirty-something tells me he'd like to get married and have kids someday. For now, he has two cats. One of them, a fluffy white Persian named Precious, greets us at the door.
"She's the prettiest thing walking," he says, mostly for her amusement.
His home is adorned with art from Thailand, where he has a stake in a TV channel. He travels there twice a year.
One bedroom is outfitted like a recording studio. He shot, edited and composed the music for his original "99 Problems" demo. He performs a composition for me, louder than his neighbors would like.
He says he grew up on food stamps in Maplewood and worked very hard to get to this point, but there's no getting around the fact that he's making money off the topless backs of these women.
"I understand that the objectification of women and the exploitation of women is a social ill," he said. "But this is not a predatory place. This is a licensed business from the state of Minnesota."
1:05 a.m. - Rough rider
Outside the club, the metal detector is slowing the line of men and women snaking down the sidewalk. Inside, songs by Rick Ross and 2 Chainz rattle the walls. A shower of dollar bills rains down on the strippers, who slink up and down the poles like gymnasts.
In the office, a 22-year-old dancer named Britney Murphy has bad news.
"I broke the pole on stage," she tells Michael. "I was being kind of rough."
He's furious: "Great, I'll just go down to the brass-pole superstore and get a new one."
1:50 a.m. - Fast cash
Ashley Robinson, who goes by Diamond, just made $200 for a five-minute dance that can't be described here.
In the back, she tells me about her 4-year-old son, who's in kindergarten. "He's really smart," the 26-year-old says.
"The truth is they're just normal people thrust into extraordinary circumstances," Michael said. "They need to parlay this into something else. When a girl gets her own place, you see a self-actualization. And that's what I want for them."
Diamond returns from another stage routine, clutching a pile of cash in her arms. She might make $1,200 tonight.
2:05 a.m. - Beasts
The cavalry -- literally, cops on horseback -- are clearing the streets outside Augie's. Michael and his team stand guard, ushering the unruly off the sidewalk. Michael shakes hands with officers, knows all of them by their first names.
He's done this for 10 years now. Fights, drinking, drama. Every weekend.
I'd watch this TV show.

The headline looks spicy and somewhat humiliating to fans of the New York Jets: Jets interested in JaMarcus Russell?
The reality probably isn't so embarrassing.
Conor Orr of The Star-Ledger wrote a piece Monday night that explained the different ways the Jets could add competition for quarterback Mark Sanchez. One paragraph stuck out:
"More recently, after (former GM Mike) Tannenbaum was let go, members of the organization had some very exploratory, informal discussions regarding former Oakland Raiders quarterback JaMarcus Russell, the 2007 No. 1 overall pick who flamed out of the NFL after the 2009 season," Orr wrote. "Russell recently decided to mount a comeback in hopes of returning to the league next season."
The Jets are the butt of many a joke, but let's make the jokes when the team shows real interest. Orr goes out of his way here to emphasize the "exploratory, informal" nature of the discussions. That could be a routine conversation, one that takes place regarding many more prominent players. (Say, Matt Cassel, for instance.)
Whatever the nature of the talks, we'll take it seriously if and when the Jets or any other team actually show real interest in Russell. That remains a long shot.

For the GTX 580, Nvidia decided to use the new vapour chamber cooling. This is not much of a surprise as the GTX 480's cooler has taken enough flak for Nvidia to realize that they have to raise their game in this field.
However, vapour-chamber technology is anything but a new technology, and as far as we recall it was Sapphire who first used it to cool GPUs. Thanks to this tech, Nvidia can get rid of the heatpipe solutions such as the one on GTX 480 (picture below). As you probably already know, the GTX 480 is a pretty hot and loud card, but the GTX 580 is a different beast. It is, in fact, surprisingly quiet for a high-end card.
The GTX 580's PCB design hasn't changed much from the GTX 480, but there have been improvements in power regulation circuitry (picture below). Nvidia added Advanced Power Management, a feature which monitors consumption and performs power capping – all to protect the graphics cards from excessive power draw.
The GTX 480 has a hole in the PCB below the fan, so that the fan could draw fresh air in scenarios where another card in SLI mode blocks the fan. The GTX 580 has no holes in the PCB or the cooler's metal block.
The memory modules are in contact with the cooler's metal block whereas the GPU is in direct contact with the vapour-chamber (picture below).
One of the positive aspects of vapour chamber technology is that it doesn't take up much space, while at the same time it renders heatpipe solutions obsolete.
The GTX 580's vapour chamber is the largest one we've seen so far. The heatsink is on top of the chamber, which allows for quick heat transfer from the GPU and further dissipation via the heatsink fins.
The GF110 GPU takes up the same amount of space as the GTX 480's GF100.
Since the cards' PCBs are pretty similar, we thought it would be nice to try whether GTX 580's cooler will fit onto a GTX 480. Unfortunately, a few capacitors in the power regulation area wouldn't allow for our GTX 480 makeover.
GTX 580 comes with two dual-link DVI connectors and one mini-HDMI.
The card is powered via one 6-pin and one 8-pin power connector. The picture below compares the GTX 480 and GTX 580.

Plants Vs. Zombies studio PopCap games has teamed up with the American Dental Association in an attempt to steal candy out of the mouths of children everywhere, those bastards. PopCap, not the children — I mean, I can't speak for their parentage, but damn, give them some candy.
Seeking to offer a "tooth-friendly" alternative to candy, PopCap and the ADA have joined forces to offer parents coupons good for a free copy of Plants Vs. Zombies for PC or Mac instead of the stuff kids really want when they get all dressed up and risk their lives on October 31. You can download the coupons right now at the offer website, though they'll only be redeemable October 30 through November 10.
"We at PopCap have been interested in the potential for video games to provide benefits beyond entertainment for many years," said John Vechey, PopCap co-founder and franchise studio director at PopCap via official press release. "We're passionate about the very important cause behind the 'Stop Zombie Mouth' campaign and proud to be highlighting yet another positive effect that games can have on society."
Postive effect? Look, PopCap, I didn't have two children so I could steal their extra Plants Vs. Zombies coupons after they've gone to bed on Halloween night. This isn't just about the children anymore! You screw this up for me and so help me I will curl into a little ball and weep until my wife runs to the store for discount candy on November 1.

Swisscom Secures its Data Center with Fortinet
SUNNYVALE, Calif., June 15, 2015 – Fortinet® (NASDAQ: FTNT), a global leader in high-performance cyber security solutions, today announced that Swisscom (VTX: SCMN), the major telecom operator in Switzerland, has selected FortiGate® high performance data center firewall, FortiManager™ security management appliance and FortiAnalyzer™ network security logging, analysis and reporting solutions to protect vital data center infrastructure. Fortinet's ability to virtualize high performance firewall capabilities was central to Swisscom's investment, future proofing the scale and flexibility of security for its service delivery data center.
Swisscom is the largest telecom operator in Switzerland, with over 21,000 employees and annual turnover of over 11bn€. The company offers mobile communications, fixed networks, Internet and digital TV services to millions of corporate and residential customers.
The security of its service delivery infrastructure is an important component of the Swisscom 2020 corporate strategy. "A key part of our long-term strategy is to build the best possible data center infrastructure for over 100 different customer-facing services, and to achieve this we've chosen Fortinet as our solution for high-performance firewalling," said Gianpiero Tavano, network and security development engineer at Swisscom.
Swisscom implemented the FortiGate 3700D, a high-performance data center firewall. The Fortinet appliance enables ultra high-performance protection, which can be far more rapidly rolled out to new services thanks to its segmentation and virtualization (VDOM) capabilities. "We found FortiGate to be the most complete and extensible solution available," said Tavano. "With better scalability, and excellent virtualisation and network functionality, Fortinet's solution enables resilient and innovative services. The Fortinet firewalls required no tweaking or tuning to reach their high performance test values."
Other valuable benefits for Swisscom are the simplicity, efficiency and cost reductions related to improved network and security management. Fortinet's FortiManager and FortiAnalyzer appliances serve to unify visibility and processes for Swisscom's geographically distributed team of 30 administrators.
"We are pleased to count Swisscom among our customers, demonstrating yet again that Fortinet's solutions are ideal to meet the most stringent security requirements of the telecom industry," said Patrice Perche, vice president, international sales and support at Fortinet. "The rapid transformation of the data center along with changing business needs have resulted in security requirements dramatically different from those related to legacy data center applications. Now, telecom operators and service providers demand high virtualization, high scalability, high performance, high flexibility and excellent support, which can only be offered by our FortiGate platforms."

Producer's job is a thankless one: Arjun Rampal
Jan 18, 2013 Uma RamasubramanianMumbai, Jan 18 (IANS) A producer's job is a thankless one with benefits shared by the actor and the director and no kudos for the person behind that good film, says actor Arjun Rampal, who produced the not-so-successful "I See You" in 2006 and is clearly in no hurry to get back to it.
He hasn't quite ruled out production and still hopes to make ambitious films, but some time in the future.
"A producer's job is a thankless job. He works really hard and finally, when the film works, the benefits are shared by the actor and the director and nobody really praises the producer," Arjun told IANS.
"When a film doesn't work, actors take their money, directors take their money and producers can't do anything. So it is really a thankless job. But the irony is the most important person behind any film is the producer. If a producer doesn't back your vision, then you can never make a film," he added.
The 41-year-old, who is busy making a mark as an actor, says he is proud of "I See You" that was directed by Vivek Agrawal. And he still gets calls asking him to be a producer.
"I am a good producer, but as I said, the job is very thankless," the National Award winner said, adding that people who had worked with him kept calling to ask him to produce a film. He added that he "looked after everybody very well" when he was a producer.
"I want to make ambitious films and I need time to work on them. Right now I am doing many films and then there is Lap (his nightclub in Delhi). I knew I would not be giving my 100 percent and until I don't have that time, I will not be able to do it," he said.
Ever since "Rock On!!" when he walked away with the prestigious National Award, Arjun's acting career has taken an interesting turn with complex roles in films like "Raajneeti" and "Chakravyuh".
His next is the Sudhir Mishra-directed "Inkaar" about office politics and sexual harassment at the workplace. He will be seen battling it out with Chitrangada Singh in the film, which releases with a U-A certificate Friday.
Though his two daughters are too young to watch the film, he says he would definitely discuss the issue with them when they reach the right age.
"My kids are a bit young to watch it. One is 10-year-old and the other one is 7-year-old. I think any child, who is above the age of 13, should be allowed to watch the film under their parent's supervision because the film discusses a very important topic in today's time which is sexual harassment," said the actor.
"As a father and as a parent of two daughters, I would like to say that when my daughters will reach the age of 13 or 15, I would like to discuss with them what is this sexual harassment and that they should take a stand and not get bogged down. That's how you make your women stronger that's how you put some fear into the man who is going to do it," he added. Click the Movie button below for more info:

Blueberry Cinnamon Cakes
Sometimes I get this feeling on the weekends, where I just want to bake a cake. It's been a pretty regular occurrence since my Perfect Party Cake, now that I've gone beyond using cake mix from a box.
"But why, Katy, if you say you want to bake a cake, did you end up with these (admittedly adorable) mini cakes?"
Because I am still something of a cake novice, as I will readily admit. And because after my cake had been in the oven for about 30 minutes, and was clearly far short of fully cooked, I decided to 1) open the oven and 2) insert one of my dinner knives into the center to "test" it for doneness.
Which it how I ended up with a very sunken cake.
I thought, hmmm. I could cover up the sunkenness with frosting and no one would (probably) ever know. Or I could break out my sparkling new pastry ring, and make cutie-pie little mini-cakes out of the un-sunk portion of the cake. I chose the mini cakes.
The blueberry whipped cream frosting was just my way of saying, "yay, it's finally summer." I was going to decorate the top of the cake with fresh blueberries, but I though purple frosting too fun an idea to pass up. And I was right, no?
Blueberry Cinnamon Cakes
For the cake:
1/2 stick unsalted butter
3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/3 cup milk
2 tsp cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
For the whipped cream and filling:
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup fresh blueberries
4 tbsp water
For the cake:
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Beat together the butter and sugar until combined. Beat in the eggs, milk, cinnamon and vanilla. Add the flour, baking powder and salt and beat until the batter is smooth and no lumps remain.
Pour the batter into an 8" springform pan coating with cooking spray, and bake for about 40-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (if the cake looks like it's still wobbly, don't insert the toothpick!).
Allow the cake to cool completely before decorating.
For the whipped cream and filling:
In a medium saucepan, place the blueberries and water on high heat. Smush the blueberries with a spatula as they cook, and cook them until the water is mostly gone and they have a thick, jelly-like consistency. Divide the mixture in half and set aside to cool.
In a large bowl, whip the cream and sugar until stiff peaks form.
To assemble:
Once the cake has cooled, use a pastry ring to cut three 3" round mini-cakes out of the cake batter. Lift them out of the cake and place on a cutting board or other decorating surface.
For each mini-cake, cut the cake into three thin layers using a serrated knife or a cake slicing wire. Spread all the layers out on your cutting board.
On 6 of the 9 layers, spread a thin layer of blueberry filling using half of the blueberry spread. Top the blueberry spread with a thick layer of whipped cream.
Stack three of the blueberry/cream-topped layers on top of the other three blueberry/cream-topped layer (making three two-layer mini-cakes). Use the remaining plain cake layers to top the others.
In another bowl, fold the other half of the blueberry spread into the remaining whipped cream. Spoon the blueberry whipped cream into a piping bag and pipe it out onto the tops of the plain cake layers.
Makes 3 three-inch mini cakes.

I received an advanced review copy of this title from Europa Editions. The original book was published in French and this English translation is done by Alison Anderson.
My Review:
This intense story is told in alternating views of two people who survived the brutality of a fictional totalitarian regime called the Theological Republic. Although the homeland of these two characters is fictional, it is evident from clues in the text that this country is in the middle east and that both characters are refugees somewhere in Russia. The female character, Vima, was know in the republic as their most stubborn political prisoner and given the name Bait 455. Vima is arrested and repeatedly raped and tortured by her captors who are trying to get information about her husband's political subterfuge. Vima's love and devotion for her husband runs so deep that the only words she ever speaks during these torture sessions is a defiant, "No." One day, without any warning, a high ranking official interrupts one of these torture sessions by snapping his fingers and Vima is rescued.
The other character in the book is a high ranking Colonel who was in the inner circle of the republic's Supreme Commander. The Colonel started out as a foot soldier in the Colonel's army but because of his bravery and knowledge of arms and technology he quickly rises up in rank until he is one of the most trusted members of the Supreme Commander's inner circle. The Colonel's job is to spy on the staff of the prisons where it is suspected that there are groups of traitors who are letting prisoners escape. The Colonel's position brings him into direct contact with Bait 455 and through an interesting twist of circumstances in the book he is the man who snapped his fingers to save Vima.
Vima and the Colonel are both refugees in a new country for five years when their paths cross. The Colonel has applied for refugee status and the political leaders in his country of asylum keep interrogating him. Vima is called on to be a translator for the Colonel during these interrogations. At this point their roles as captor and captive are completely reversed and the Colonel knows that his fate is doomed. The country of asylum really has no interest in harboring this criminal and the Colonel feels that it is only a matter of time before he is eliminated. So he asks Vima to write a book which tells his story; the most important part of the story for him is the unconditional love he has for his wife whom he had to leave behind in the republic.
Vima and the Colonel both have emotional personalities that allow them to love deeply and unequivocally. Vima's tormentors, no matter how much they tried to break her body and her spirit, would not betray her beloved. The Colonel gives up his position in the republic and risks his life to escape because his wife demands that he do so. But in the end Vima and the Colonel are both disappointed because their intense love is not matched by their respective partners.
There is one final interesting literary allusion in the text that, as a classicist, I would be remiss not to mention. The Colonel enjoys reading literary classics with his lawyer, an eccentric man named Yuri. Yuri introduces him to The Iliad and The Odyssey and the Colonel becomes fascinated with the Greek hero Achilles. Achilles, not unlike the Colonel, is a controversial hero who wreaks havoc and destruction despite his heroic status. Achilles is eventually brought down because of his one week spot, his heel, and the Colonel, too, has a vulnerability which comes in the form of his love for his wife.
This is one of those books that will stay with me and that I will think about for a long time to come. I made the mistake of reading this before bed and it kept me up thinking for quite a while. The true hero in the book is Vima who, despite suffering the worst evil that humanity has to offer, is resilient and never stops fighting back. Vima fights her tormentors with a simple "no," she fights abandonment from her beloved, and she fights when her past comes crashing back into her life and threatens her sanity. I think that this will make my list of favorite books of the year.
About the Author:
Fariba Hachtroudi was born in 1951 in Tehran. She comes from a family of scholars and professors. Her paternal grand-father was a religious leader who supported the constitutionalists in 1906, against other religious leaders who advocated for governance by Sharia law and the absolute rule of God as a monarchic authority.
Fariba's father Mohsen Hachtroudi was a learned scholar, often called the "Ommar Khayyam" of contemporary Iran. As a well known French-educated mathematician, philosopher and poet, Mr Hachtroudi was unquestionably considered to be a moral authority for generations of Iranians. Hachtroudi fought his entire life for the promotion of democracy, social justice (most notably women rights) and secularism. Fariba's mother, Robab Hachtroudi was a professor of humanities and Persian literature.
Fariba Hachtroudi received her doctorate (PHD) in art and archeology in Paris in 1978.
She lived in Sri Lanka from 1981 to 1983, where for two years she taught at the University of Colombo while performing research on the Teravada Boudhism.
When Fariba returned to France in 1983, she started, as a journalist, to denounce Khomeynism.
In 1985 / 1986, to understand the daily life of her compatriots, Fariba travelled clandestinely to Iran by way of the desert of Baluchistan. L'exilée, Hachtroudi's first book describes her haunting journey.
10 years later, in 1995, Fariba who was much more pessimistic than others, already predicting change and revival "slowly and from within Iran", decided again to approach the issue by creating a humanitarian association free of political affiliations. MoHa, the association for the foundation of Mohsen Hachtroudi, focuses it work on education and secularism – conditions essential for the respects of women's rights and the promotion of democracy. MoHa helped Iranians refugees wherever they were. After her last trip to Iran (2006) Fariba Hachtroudi hopes to be able to register her Foundation in Iran in order to help the youth inside the country as it was the goal of her father.

For small businesses and big corporate companies alike, mobile is the latest frontier. Yet rather than simply developing a mobile-friendly version of your website or adding a cool e-commerce capability to the mobile user experience, more and more entrepreneurs are wisely delving into the mobile market by developing a smartphone app.
But not all apps are made equal — scroll through the iOS App Store and you'll find countless offerings that are useless to users and a waste of money from companies. In fact, some apps actually make the businesses that produce them look worse to potential consumers than if they never put that app on virtual shelves.
I asked a panel of successful young entrepreneurs the following question:
Designing a mobile app for your small business? Name one must-have feature to make for a positive user experience.
Here are their best answers.
1. Feedback system
The importance of having some way for users to provide feedback on your app is critical. Whether it is a button or a link to open an email doesn't matter; the important part is that you give your users a quick way to report bugs, and provide suggestions or criticisms. Users will appreciate knowing that you are open to their feedback and that their input can shape the future of your app.
2. Usability first
A compelling mobile application must feature an interface that focuses on usability. The best way to do this is to follow the general application hierarchy of widely used apps like Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. User experience bonus points are awarded if it is also beautiful and (pleasantly) surprising!
– Aaron Schwartz, Modify Watches
3. Can you customize?
Make sure that there is a clear way to adjust settings for your app: colors, font sizes and, mo st importantly, privacy settings if it happens to be a social app. The more opportunities the user has to tailor the app to her own taste, the less chance that you will get something wrong. And, if you do, it will simply be adjusted by the user.
4. Keep it simple
It gets tempting to throw in a million small, frivolous features into your mobile app because you think they're "cool" or good-looking, but don't. Figure out the few basic things users want and build those couple features, and nothing else. I'd rather use an app that let's me d o what I want in 15 seconds than a convoluted UX that lets me do things I have no interest in actually doing.
5. Remember, it's a phone
If you are a small business with a brick-and-mortar operation, I always recommend taking a step back and remembering the core function of a mobile device: It's a phone. Including the ability for your customer to have an over-the-phone connection with you, while they're interacting with your mobile application, can go a long way to delivering top-notch customer service.
6. Social media login
Start the user experience out right! Use Facebook Connect or another single sign on technology solution to allow your customers to use their social media logins to sign into the mobile app (and keep them signed in). And always give them a way to retrieve their user name/password or remind them which social network they used when setting up the app.
– Lauren Perkins, Perks Consulting
7. Maintain relevancy
The content in it must be something that is impossible to gain from your website. Stop building apps that are just big web browsers, and focus on pushing relevant information and delivering a richer experience that is beyond what your mobile website can do.
8. Ruthlessly eliminate clicks
If you must ask users to register, sign up, or fill out forms, be zealous about eliminating every possible click, or tap, from the design. Ask for less information. Conversion rates fall sharply when extra work is required to sign up. This is a mistake novice designers make over and over. You only have a short window to hook them, and if they have a bad experience, they won't try again.
– Emerson Spartz, Spartz Media
9. Don't change!
When converting a traditionally browser-based system to a mobile app, make sure not to omit or hide any features, however 'small' they may seem. Nothing is worse than failing to find, on the mobile app, that one key feature that you always use on the browser version!
– Christopher Pruijsen, Letslunch.com
10. Include analytics
As a mobile app developer, one key component is to incorporate analytics into your mobile app. A small business must be able to track and identify their users experience and actions. Most users do not enjoy giving up their location, which is understandable. Tracking a users location is different to tracking and analyzing their expe rience. The data gathered will only help encourage better updates.
– George Mavromaras, Mavro Inc. | Praetor Global LLC.
11. Offline capabilities
It's frustrating to users when an app is entirely unusable just because they have a weak signal. Consider how you can build in content or interactivity that doesn't rely on a wireless signal. It'll make for a positive user experience while your users are on-the-go, online or off.
12. Go with gamification
Gamification allows users to be interactive and have fun while using the app. People will come back to an app again and again if it provides some kind of value, and short-term fun and competition are always winners.
– DC Fawcett, Paramount Digital Publishing
13. Prioritize speed
It's very important to make sure the app isn't slow. People used to despise Facebook because of how slow the mobile app is. It is crucial that your app doesn't make people wait around while it loads.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) Republican officials in Kansas are interested in lowering corporate income taxes but are struggling to figure out how to mesh such reductions with GOP plans for more cuts in individual income tax rates.
Revenue Secretary Nick Jordan said Friday that cutting corporate income taxes would boost the economy and that the state needs to consider the issue.
But Jordan said the issue also is complicated, and GOP Gov. Sam Brownback's proposals focus on reducing individual income tax rates again after aggressive reductions last year.
State Rep. Marvin Kleeb, an Overland Park Republican who serves on the House Taxation Committee, said he and his colleagues are interested in lowering corporate income tax rates. He said they haven't figured out how to do it.
