The finalists’ videos ranged from simple stories of cats’ playtime antics to complex stories about cats’ creative imaginations, but in the end, “The Friskies” $15,000 Grand Prize for “Best Video” went to a story about a very happy blind cat, who enthusiastically uses his senses of hearing and touch to play like every cat.
The winners were announced and the Catuettes and prizes were awarded at a one-of-a-kind awards show in Hollywood yesterday by Friskies® to celebrate the art form of Internet cat videos and the best new cat videos of 2012. After months of searching and thousands of votes and views, Friskies named “Oskar’s First Toys” starring Oskar of Omaha, Neb., the first-ever winner of “The Friskies.” The Grand Prize winnings include an official Friskies Catuette, a $15,000 cash prize, and a year’s supply of Friskies® brand cat food.

XQ Institute is launching XQ: The Super School Project, a challenge to reimagine and design the next American high school. Harnessing the best of American ingenuity in cities and towns across the country, XQ aims to help spark a movement to rethink the American high school—an institution that was designed to meet the needs of the Industrial Revolution and hasn’t changed in more than a century.
“Our nation is radically different than it was 100 years ago. Nearly every aspect of our daily lives—from how we communicate to how we work and play—has changed dramatically,” said Laurene Powell Jobs, Chair of the board of XQ Institute. “But our high schools have stayed frozen in time. Together, we have an opportunity to help fuel a movement for students, to inspire great high schools, and even to rethink school itself. Our passion at XQ is to help educators everywhere foster students who are curious, engaged, and creative—armed with the new literacies, knowledge, and skills needed to thrive,” she added. “To do that, we must use our collective imagination.”
From the Model T to the Tesla and the switchboard to the smart phone—everything has changed except for how we prepare our kids for the future. XQ: The Super School Project is a rallying call to America to change the outdated model that has failed to prepare our students for the demands of the global economy, and an open call to every community to rethink high school for today and tomorrow. XQ Institute will provide a fund of $50 million to support at least five selected schools over the next five years. It will also partner with them to provide expert support and guidance to turn their ideas into real Super Schools that can inspire the country.

Imagine trying to make a decision with only half the information. Today, nearly all organizations across the public and private sectors rely on data to make better decisions about everything from employee salaries to new legislation. Data provides decision makers insight into what the baseline is, where collective needs are, and where resources should be allocated. But half our world’s population—women—are underrepresented and many times completely unrepresented in these datasets.
Inaccurate data often results from gender bias in the design of surveys or questionnaires, or from someone other than the woman or girl responding to a survey on her behalf. Misrepresented or incomplete gender data collection yields results that misses the mark on understanding women’s needs or their economic and social contributions. Policies and initiatives around healthcare, education, economic opportunity and more are built based on what’s available—gender-biased data—and fail to fairly serve women and girls. How can we close the gender data gap and pursue the global ambition towards gender equality and a fuller understanding of the whole population?

L'arte di intrattenere con le giuste atmosfere i momenti di incontro e relax dei vostri ospiti e del divertimento nel ballo tutta la notte, è una questione di dettagli che vive nell'esperienza e di attimi. Non si raggiunge con una playlist uguale per tutte le occasioni. E' un lavoro artistico che necessita della giusta sensibilità e cultura musicale per rendere la vostra festa di matrimonio un evento che resterà nella memoria collettiva di tutti i presenti. Anche il crescendo della serata, l'arte di far urlare e cantare i ritornelli delle canzoni al cambio di mixaggio, è una caratteristica legata all'esperienza. Potrete indicarmi i vostri gusti musicali ed io su queste ed altre caratteristiche creerò come un sarto, la vostra serata.
Indicatemi la vostra data, la location, il numero approssimativo di ospiti, sarò felice di aiutarvi ad organizzare un fantastico wedding party. La vostra serata.

The art of entertaining with the right atmosphere the moments of meeting and relaxation of your guests and the fun in the dance all night, is a matter of details that lives in the experience and moments. You do not reach it with an equal playlist for all occasions. It’s an artistic work that needs the right sensitivity and musical culture to make your wedding party an event that will be remembered in the collective memory of everyone present. The growing of the evening, the art of making the chorus of the songs scream and sing at the change of mixing, is also a characteristic linked to the experience. You can tell me your musical tastes and I will create your evening as a tailor.
Tell me your date, location, approximate number of guests, I will be happy to help you organize a fantastic wedding party. This is your night.
