New Canada immigration program: Which professions are most in demand


On May 4th, 2013 the Federal Skilled Worker Program will be re-opened for applications. This programme has been closed for application for a year, and some occupation caps are known to be filled within days, due to the popularity of the programme.
In April, important announcements are expected to be made. These announcements include the cap on the number of applications to be accepted this year, a list of priority occupations, and information on designated educational assessment organizations, revealed the Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC).
The priority occupations list determines whether there is demand for a profession in Canada. The FSWP only accepts applications for the professions on the occupation list. The cap on each occupation indicates how many applications will be accepted.

On the CIC website, some clues are given as to which professions might be on the occupation list in 2013. “No details on how the list will compare to previous years have yet to be released. However, an analysis of Canada’s labour market can provide some clues as to the workers the country needs most. At present, skilled labour shortages are particularly steep in the fields of healthcare and natural resources management,” it says.
In the article ‘Where the jobs are’ in Canada the CIC refers to a report recently published by the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC). This report points out 25 professions that are most in need of qualified employees. According to the CIC these professions can be summarized as falling “in the fields of healthcare, mining, and manufacturing or business services.”
“The new occupation list is the most critical aspect of every application case,” says Jalil Parker, Manager of Vision Consultancy Services, an immigration consultant  “If your profession is not on the list, you will not be able to apply.”
The requirements to be eligible for the programme have been adjusted over the past year, and are currently known to be the following:
- Have at least 1 year of full-time paid work experience in the last 10 years;
- Demonstrate at least adequate-intermediate language proficiency in English or French;
- Obtain at least 67 points on the reworked point grid, which is based on factors such as language proficiency, age, work experience, education, adaptability; and
- Have foreign credentials assessed, authenticated, and given an equivalent value in Canada.
On the CIC website, Attorney David Cohen is quoted as saying: “Applicants are now in a position where they must balance the risk of preparing an application for naught with the reward of submitting before caps close.
“Caps are likely to be tight, and excitement for the program has been building over the last year, so interest is high. Individuals who feel they have skills that are valued in Canada may wish to get a head start on their applications today.”
Although most documentation can be prepared in anticipation of your profession being on the list, the assessment of foreign credentials requires another list: that of the designated educational assessment organisations.
As part of recent changes to the FSWP, the Canadian government has made it mandatory applicants have their education abroad assessed against Canadian education standards by designated organisations.
The list of accredited organisations is one of the announcements expected to be made in April, and should therefore not be missed. Most universities are expected to be on the designated educational assessment organisations list.
Most Probables Skilled worker Requred for 2013 in Canada
Public discussion has been growing over a report recently published by the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC). The report indicates a growing divide between the number of high-vacancy job fields in Canada and the skills of the Canadian workforce. To combat labour shortages, Canadian employers and government officials are increasingly looking beyond their own borders to find the employees they need. In addition, the government is taking ambitious efforts to secure skilled foreign workers, on temporary or permanent bases, to close employment gaps across the country.
In its report, CIBC targeted 25 professions that are most in need of qualified employees. They are as follows:
§  Managers in Engineering, Architecture, Science and Info Systems
§  Managers in Health, Education, Social and Community Services
§  Managers in Construction and Transportation
§  Auditors, Accountants and Investment Professionals
§  Human Resources and Business Service Professionals
§  Professional Occupations in Natural and Applied Science
§  Physical Science Professionals
§  Life Science Professionals
§  Civil, Mechanical, Electrical and Chemical Engineers
§  Other Engineers
§  Professional Occupations in Health
§  Physicians, Dentists and Veterinarians
§  Optometrists, Chiropractors and Other Health Diagnosing and Treating Professionals
§  Pharmacists, Dietitians and Nutritionists
§  Therapy and Assessment Professionals
§  Nurse Supervisors and Registered Nurses
§  Technical and Related Occupations in Health
§  Medical Technologists and Technicians (Except Dental Health)
§  Technical Occupations in Dental Health Care
§  Other Technical Occupations in Health Care (Except Dental)
§  Psychologists, Social Workers, Counsellors, Clergy and Probation Officers
§  Supervisors, Mining, Oil and Gas
§  Underground Miners, Oil and Gas Drillers and Related Workers
§  Supervisors in Manufacturing
§  Supervisors, Processing Occupations

Finding Earth-like planet 'a near certainty,' claims scientist

If you have wondered whether there is another planet similar to Earth out there in space, the answer is absolutely yes.According to Sara Seager, a professor of physics and planetary science at MIT, there are hundreds of billions of stars in our Milky Way galaxy and upward of 100 billion galaxies in our universe. 

“So the existence of a planet similar to Earth somewhere, is, in my mind a certainty,” she told CNN Light Years.

“Less certain is if such a planet is near enough to us that we can find and identify it sometime in the future,” she said. 
Earth seen from Space
When as how soon can we find another Earth, she said it depends on how we identify Earth. 

If we want a true Earth twin, that is a planet with a thin nitrogen atmosphere, a planet with oceans and continents and orbiting a sun-like star, it will be well over a decade before we have the sophisticated space telescope tools to find and identify one, she said.

“Our best bet is to expand our definition of Earth to big Earth's orbiting small stars. We can use the future James Webb Space Telescope to search for signs (of) habitability and signs of life in the planet atmosphere.

“If we would be satisfied to just find an Earth-size or Earth-mass planet, that has already been done.

“But I caution that Venus and Earth appear the same size and mass, yet Venus is inhospitable to life due to a massive greenhouse atmosphere that creates surface temperatures hot enough to melt lead, while Earth has a surface oasis in comparison,” she added.

Micro Blogging Site Twitter turns seven!

The micro-blogging site Twitter turned seven today. Seven years ago, on March 21, 2006, the first official tweet was sent out by Jack Dorsey, co-founder of Twitter. The public launch of the micro -blogging site was done on July 15, 2006. The company confirmed that it has over 200 million users around the world with 400 million tweets being sent out on a daily basis.


Here is an excerpt from the company's official blog post

There's an old English saying, "Keep a thing seven years, and you'll always find a use for it. " Today is Twitter’s 7th birthday, which we observe on the day @jack first tweeted. Since then, we've seen breathtaking velocity in Twitter's growth, which is due entirely to your many uses of it. We're gratified that so many millions of you have made Twitter yours.

It's thanks to all of you that our open, real-time platform is thriving: we have well over 200 million active users creating over 400 million Tweets each day. The steep trajectory of Twitter's momentum is something @jack, @ev and @biz only dreamed about back in 2006.

Samsung Galaxy S4: Samsung ‘leaks’ Galaxy S4: Samsung ‘leaks’ official image

Even as smartphone enthusiasts and their mothers-in-law patiently await the launch of the #NextBigThing from Samsung on Thursday, the South Korean giant has published a teaser image of a smartphone on Twitter, leaving fans and aficionados gasping for more.
“The countdown for #TheNextBigThing has begun. Who’s ready for the Global Unpacked Event on March 14?,” Samsung Mobile US (@SamsungMobileUS), the American unit of the company, asked in its Twitter update, and happily attached the silhouette of the new smartphone waiting to be unveiled on Thursday.
That was more than enough to create a frenzy among Samsung fans – the update has been re-tweeted 1,587 times already, with 350 of Samsung Mobile US’ 4.26 million followers marking the update as their ‘favourite’.
official image of Samsung Galaxy S IV
Even though the picture show the smartphone in a shadow, and only the top half of the handset is discernible, the phone does resemble the unofficially leaked images of the Galaxy S4 that were first published on a Chinese forum.
As we have pointed out earlier, the device looks strikingly similar to the Samsung Galaxy S3α (alpha). The rather convincing images leaked on the Chinese blog showed a 5-inch smartphone, similar in styling to the Galaxy S3α, and a fair deal of details in terms of the oblong button and a glossy reverse cover, presented in a stylised background.
Information published on the forum claimed that the phone has a 1080p display, runs Android 4.2.1, has a 1.8GHz Universal5410 processor and 2GB of RAM.
The good news for eager fans is that the soon-to-be-officially-revealed smartphone has some serious specifications upgrade from the current generation of the Galaxy smartphone, the S3, including eye-tracking software that will help you scroll through the phone with the twitch of your eyes, and a literal “green screen” with energy-saving PHOLED material in its AMOLED display.
In addition, it is rumoured to be available with a wireless charger and floating touch technology (i.e., you do not need to actually touch the touch-screen for it to function).

Now, send a text message to charge your cellphone

Out of battery? Just send a text!
People living off-grid can now power their phones simply by sending a text message.
A London-based company Buffalo Grid has introduced a solar-powered cellphone charging station that is activated by text message.
A patchy or absent power grid poses a conundrum of problems for rural areas in the developing world, particularly in Africa and Asia, where the use of cellphones is rapidly rising.
The company's basic technology, which was recently trialled in Uganda, should help tackle this issue, 'NewScientist' reported.


The battery extracts power from the solar panel using a technique called maximum power point tracking (MPPT). A 60-watt solar panel charges a battery.
A solar panel's power output is dictated by environmental conditions, such as temperature and the amount of sunlight, as well as the resistance of the circuits connected to it.
MPPT monitors the conditions and changes the resistance to ensure the maximum possible power output at any given time.
The innovation lies in how the stored power is released to charge a phone. A customer sends a text message, which in Uganda costs 110 shillings, to the device. Once it receives the message, an LED above a socket on the battery lights up, indicating that it is ready to charge a phone.
At the Konokoyi coffee cooperative in Uganda, each text message allows a phone to be charged for 1.5 hours. A fully charged Buffalo Grid unit can last for three days, has up to 10 charging points and charges 30 to 50 phones a day.
To bring the cost down further, Buffalo Grid hopes to co-opt the cellphone network operators into subsidising power for charging the phones, or even making it free.
"When you bring power to phones that don't have any, people will use them more," said Buffalo Grid's Daniel Becerra.
"Instead of paying for the charge, people will spend more on airtime," Becerra said.

Galaxy S4 launch: Is this the new Samsung spearhead smartphone?

Samsung’s Mobile Unpacked event at Radio City Music Hall in New York is scheduled for March 14, 7pm in New York, which will be March 15, 5am in UAE, and March 14, 11pm GMT. 

With no more than 12 hours to go for Samsung’s unveiling of what almost everyone in the industry believes will be the new Galaxy S4 smartphone, a slew of images and a video of the much sought-after phone have appeared on the Internet.

This is perhaps the last of the ‘Galaxy S4 rumours’ to make an appearance online before the real thing is unveiled today at the Mobile Unpacked event. 




“This time tomorrow, we'll meet #TheNextGalaxy live @TimesSquareNYC for Samsung #UNPACKED,” said Samsung Mobile (@SamsungMobile) in its Twitter update at about 6 am in Nepal, a Chinese site Mobile.it168.com, featuring a handset with the Samsung logo – the device in question does bear striking resemblance to other images that leaked earlier this week.

The new set of images, however, also features the text ‘Galaxy SIV,’ lending further credence that the current leaks may indeed be the real thing – or an elaborate hoax. 


Also leaked yesterday was a video of what the Chinese forum 52Samsung.com maintains is the new Galaxy S4. You can watch the video here:

Whether or not this video is real will be found out within a few hours – but eager fans have already seen this YouTube video more than 1.3 million (and counting) times since it was published less than 48 hours earlier.

Samsung offered its own teaser of what the Galaxy S4 will look like in a heavily concealed image of a smartphone in a Twitter update.

The new set of images leaked on Mobile.it168.com also comes with accompanying text (in Chinese, translated through Google Chrome), which suggests that the Galaxy S4 will host an eight-core chip under its bonnet and a 4.99-inch screen on face value. The phone will measure 7.7m in thickness, and will weigh 138 grams.

An Asteroid may hit earth is 2068 A.D. Claimed NASA

The 325-metre asteroid99942 Apophis, that will safely fly by the Earth in 2029 and 2036,may strike the planet in 2068, says an article published on the NASA website.
The chances of it striking Earth are slim, however, with impact odds being about 2.3 in a million. The asteroid has been the focus of considerable attention after it was discovered in December 2004 to have a significant probability of Earth impact in April 2029.



While the 2029 potential impact was ruled out through the measurement of archival telescope images, the possibility of a potential impact in the years after 2029 continues to prove difficult to rule out. Based on optical and radar position measurements made in 2004-2012, the asteroid will pass the Earth in 2029 at an altitude of 31900, give or take 750 km.The altitude is close enough for the Earth's gravity to deflect
Such impact trajectories require Apophis to pass the Earth at a precise altitude, known as a keyhole, in 2029 en route to a subsequent impact.

"The new report, which does not make use of the 2013 radar measurements, identifies over a dozen keyholes that fall within the range of possible 2029 encounter distances," said the article prepared by a group of scientists led by Davide Farnocchia.

The uncertainty in predicting the asteroid's position in 2029 is completely dominated by the so-called Yarkovsky effect, a subtle non-gravitational perturbation due to thermal re-radiation of solar energy absorbed by the asteroid.

Galaxy S4 vs iPhone 5S: Compare specifications, release dates and pricing

The year 2013 has already seen a large number of smartphone launches – more than 25, if you count the various variants and versions, and at least 10 if you stick to the notable launches.
Nevertheless, while there have indeed been a handful of prominent phones launched this year, the biggest launches of the year – Samsung Galaxy S4 and the iPhone 5S (or 6) – are yet to hit us.

And hit they will – sooner than later. The Galaxy S4, as rumours get hotter, is ready to be unleashed, in less than a week from today.

Let’s look at what we know today, based on some credible and some not-so-credible rumours, about the release date, specifications and pricing of the two spearhead stallions in this two-horse race.

Release date

Samsung Galaxy S4: Fans, fanatics and typical enthusiasts have generally come around to agreeing March 14 as the day the new spearhead smartphone from the Samsung stable will be unveiled by the Korean giant. Samsung has sent out invites for its Mobile Unpacked event on the day, at Radio City Music Hall in New York. If indeed the South Korean company unveils the Galaxy S4 at the event, as rumoured, it will mark the first time it would have unveiled its spearhead in the US, in effect making its intentions clear that it will take the smartphone war to Apple’s home ground.



Apple iPhone 5S: Imminently, the next version of the iPhone – the iPhone 5S or the iPhone 6 – will be unveiled by Apple in the next few months as rumours abound that a new smartphone from the Cupertino-based firm is already under production in China, and will be unveiled to the world in July or August. A date is yet to be speculated upon, but rest assured that it will be, soon.



Specifications


Samsung Galaxy S4: With less than one week to go, the buzz about the phone’s potential features is getting boisterous. Numerous updates and a handful of exciting new rumoured specs suggest that the Galaxy S4 will be a master blaster.

Among the exciting new features could be wireless charging and the buzz that its screen will be a literal “green screen” with energy-saving PHOLED material in its AMOLED display. In addition, the Galaxy S4 display is also expected to feature floating touch technology. This, if it is indeed implemented in the new S4, will allow users to operate the phone by directing their fingers just centimetres above the screen. The Samsung Galaxy Note 2 already has a similar feature, Air View, that allows users to operate the pad by hovering the tip of the S-pen stylus over them. But a touch screen smartphone without the trouble of regularly wiping off fingerprint marks from the screen is a cool idea. More than anything else, the proposed eye-controlled features, Eye Scroll and Eye Pause, are something that will definitely raise a few eyebrows (pun intended).

Here are the rumoured specs:

Dimensions: 140.1 x 71.8 x 7.7 mm

Weight: 138 grams

Display: 4.99" full HD ‘green PHOLED’ or AMOLED flexible

OS: Android 4.2.1 Jelly Bean (will be upgraded to 4.2.2 in March itself)

3G – HSPA & 21Mbps with 850/900/1900 and 2100 MHz
4G – LTE

Memory: 16GB and 32GH, both with MicroSD for expandable memory, and 64GB plus, maybe, 128GB

Colours: Marble white, titanium grey, sapphire black, pebble blue, amber brown, garnet red

Apps and services: KNOX, PlayStation 4, S Health, PayWave

Eye-tracking technology (smart scroll, smart pause, smart rotation)

Connectivity: 4G Wi-Fi, NFC, Bluetooth

Camera: 13MP rear camera, 3D photo-taking through Samsung Orb, AutoFocus, video quality @ 1080p full HD

2MP front camera, video quality @ 720p HD

Battery: 2,600 mAh

Charging: Wireless charging kit

HDTV adapter

Apple iPhone 5S: While rumours about the next iPhone may not be as loud or clear as they are for the Galaxy S4, one reason for that could be that it is still a few months away. Besides, those who claim to be in the know suggest that we might not see be a tremendous upgrade between the 5 and the 5S.

Nevertheless, here’s what we’ve heard so far:

First, analysts suggest that the next iPhone will be strong on security features, and that the S in the 5S will denote ‘security’ more than anything else.

Even as rumours say that a wireless charger will be added to the next iPhone, that can’t be done without a real design overhaul. So that’s unlikely, but definitely not impossible.

What’s more likely, and has been cited by a larger number of sources, is that Apple may introduce a fingerprint reader beneath the home button in the iPhone 5S. While we’ve seen an integrated fingerprint sensor in laptops, one in a smartphone will do away with the need for remembering usernames and passwords on the phone.

These rumours are also based on the fact that Apple acquired Florida-based AuthenTec last July – there has to be something that the Cupertino-based giant will use in its smartphones from that acquisition, and that can, logically, only be a finger-print reader.

In addition, Apple’s new smartphone will have an upgrade in cameras, but one particular rumour has our attention. That’s the photographer’s timer, i.e., according to a patent granted a year ago, on March 8, 2012, the iDevice camera can identify the photographer, and instead of the photographer guessing the time it would take him to join the group and then set the timer accordingly, the iPhone will simply wait until it detects the photographer’s face in the viewfinder before it automatically snaps a photo. Cool.

Apple purchased Polar Rose, a Swedish software firm that specialises in facial recognition, back in September 2010 – and this too should show up sometime; so why not in this upgrade?

Then, there are also strong rumours about Apple introducing 3-D photography in the iPhone 5S. According to Apple’s existing patents, unlike existing 3-D cameras and video recorders that gather three-dimensional information from objects but don’t offer detailed enough results, the next iPhone will deploy a series of systems, tools and methods to capture a 3-D image by using multiple sensors and cameras.

It’ll also see an improved rear camera, if rumours are to be believed. It may be better enough to compete with Sony’s 13MPsensor including f2.0 aperture, plus a flash upgrade – ‘smart LED flash’ for enhanced photo-taking.

In addition, the next iPhone could also see the customary upgrade in processor speed (a new A7 system-on-a-chip). But, uncharacteristic of Apple, the company is planning a release in anodised multi-colour options.

To be sure, more will emerge as the time for the launch comes closer, but for now, this is what the iPhone 5S may pack under its bonnet.

Pricing

Samsung Galaxy S4: Expect a Samsung surprise on the pricing front. Analysts maintain that Samsung will not try to profit from the launch of the Galaxy S4. Instead, it will try to wipe out the competition with a features-loaded smartphone at bargain basement price. There have been suggestions that it could slash the price to as much as $499for its 16GB entry model. If it does that, it’s sure to burn the dance floor with that move.

Apple iPhone 5S: Apple, on the other hand, will keep a tight lid on pricing and is expected to stick to the $649  starting price-point for the 16GB unlocked version, followed by $749 for 32GB and $849 for the 64GB variant.

Apple's iPhone 5S in Aug, new iPads in April

The release dates for the iPhone 5S and iPad have been revealed and one does not have to wait for long. According to latest reports Apple might unveil its annual upgraded version of the iPad in April itself. The iPhone5S and a less expensive version will be released three months later, but will only be available for retail by August.
Meanwhile, if a Japanese blog Mocatakra is to be believed, Apple fans may not even need to wait till August, as Foxconn has already started the production process of the new phone.
Apple Iphone 5s or 6
KGI Securities in its latest research report says the iPhone5S will launch in July and will be equipped with a finger print sensor. The tech giant is also expected to announce a budget iPhone as it plans to take on increasing competition from Samsung.
Samsung is scheduled to announce the S4 on March 14 and is expected to come up with an eye tracking sensor that can automatically scroll down documents and pages. The iPhone5 was released in September 2012, but Apple cannot afford to wait too long.

Although Iphone5 has emerged as the top selling phone and continues to lead the smartphone sales across the world, the competition is heating up.  Sony’s new Xperia Z, HTC’s new revamped HTC One and LG’s new Optimus G, all of which were received favorably during this Mobile World Congress, are expected to eat into the market share and emerge as serious competitors to the top three in the list Apple, Samsung and Nokia.
The current year is expected to witness a record number of new smartphone launches even as sales are expected to increase and overtake feature phones.
According to an IDC forecast, more smartphones will ship in 2013 marking the first time this has happened over a 12-month period. The company said that vendors will ship 918.6 million smartphones this year, or “50.1 per cent” of total mobile phone shipments worldwide. With no major design enhancements scheduled for the iPhone5S, Apple can not wait too much longer to release its improvised gadget for 2013.
It was KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo who first revealed that the iPhone 5S could launch in July. According to him the reason for an early launch could be to avoid a similar mistake done last year with the iPhone5 compared to Samsung Galaxy S3.
“It is an effort to avoid repeating the fatal mistake of last year of the delayed iPhone 5 launch, which gave competitors room to grab market share.”
According to him, the new phone will not have any major design changes when compared to the iPhone 5, which incorporated several key changes.
Tech blog iMore later confirmed the timing, but said fans will have to wait until August for the phones to hit the market.
Apple is expected to bring out the new phone with an increased processor (A7) a smartflash for a better camera performance and also incorporate fingerprint recognition technology. The latter was initially expected to be included in the iPhone5 itself.
Meanwhile, reports quoting Ken Segall, a former Apple consultant has reveled that Apple had contemplated naming the iPhone as Mobi, TriPod, TelePod, and even iPad. In 2007 when Apple launched the iPhone, Cisco had used the name iPhone for its VoIP phone.
"The funny thing is that all these names actually were considered and iPad was in fact one of them; that's the most amazing [thing]," Segall said. "Had they called the iPhone an iPad, then who knows what the iPad would be."

UFO over Yemen authentic: astronomer


A Yemeni photographer captured what he believes was an unidentified flying object (UFO) over the mountains in northern Yemen and a picture he published showed a strange white triangular object streaming through the clouds.

Aseel Badiyan said he was using his camera to take shots of the mountains, nearly 90 km from the capital Sanaa, when the object shot across his lens.

Commenting on the photograph, a well-known Saudi astronomer said he had checked the picture and found that it was authentic.
