Silky skills
 

IT just ain’t what it used to be according a SAP-sponsored survey from the Economist Intelligence Unit.

The global poll of almost 1,000 people asked participants what they believed would be the key skills and talents needed to thrive in the workplace over the next three years – but just 14% of respondents thought information systems skills would be critical to their success.

While sourcing IT skills was noted as “very important” by just under half (45%), and a similar number (47%) thought that IT skills would be vital to their company’s ability to succeed, less than 1 in 5 believed that technology skills would be the hardest to source.

The “ability to manage change” topped the list of most sought after skills with 68%.



Dai Vader


Darth Vader impersonator and founder of the UK chapter of the Jedi Church, Arwel
Wynne Jones, is to get done for exploring his dark side, reports the Telegraph. 

Young Arwel, aka Jedi Master Jonba Heho, allegedly interrupted an outdoor TV broadcast by jumping over a Holyhead garden fence clad in a black bin liner and shiny black helmet shouting “Darth Vader!!”

He’s then reported to have set about two other “Jedi” with a metal crutch.
Jones was later charged with assault but failed appear in court. Ordering police to track down the would-be Sith Lord, District Judge Andrew Shaw quipped: “I hope the force will soon be with him.”
