French multinational Capgemini is planning to hire as many as 15,000 students from Indian universities in 2020-21. These graduates will join the company next year at an average salary of ₹3.8 lakh per annum. However, for those hired from top tier IITs and NITs, salaries can go as high as ₹6.5 lakh. They will also account for nearly 10% of the total hires. “The net headcount in India has continued to grow well with strong hiring year-on-year and our perspectives for 2020 look good too. Globally, we also continue to increase our overall headcount by 5.1% year on year,” Capgemini said last year when it laid off over 500 employees. Meanwhile, Cognizant too is back to sprucing up its employee base. It is looking to hire over 20,000 digitally-skilled graduates in 2020. It also increased the average compensation for campus freshers to ₹4 lakh per annum. This is an 18% surge from last year’s campus salaries. “We continue to be a net hirer of engineering, science, management and other graduates as well as experienced professionals. With more and more students in campuses becoming digitally ready, we have announced a 30% increase in our hiring of engineering and science students for 2020,” the company spokesperson said.

Digital technologies, including cloud services comprise over 50% of Capgemini’s growth. While for Cognizant, the digital revenue has been growing by more than 20% year-on-year. Young engineers could be partly ready to take on digital roles as they learn new age skills for cloud, IoT. Others are also easier to train, helping companies expand their digital employee base. These IT majors are are also actively reskilling their employees. “We have 1,800 certified consultants, while our nearest competitor in India is 500. The focus is on continued skilling. On average, we are reskilling 60,000-plus employees,” Ashwin Yardi, CEO of Capgemini India <a href="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/business/india-business/capgemini-india-to-hire-over-12000-freshers-this-year/articleshow/74128213.cms">told</a> the Times of India. The company claims to have reskilled over 51,000 people in 2019 so far — on emerging technologies like cloud, devOps, and big data. Cognizant is also <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/careers/news/cognizant-and-capgemini-are-taking-steps-to-reskill-over-60000-employees/articleshow/72154055.cms">doing the same</a>.

But a few companies are also taking up large-scale projects to impart skills to their employees. Technology majors believe that they can improve their margins if their workforce is well-versed emerging technologies. With technologies like AI and <keyword id="294572" type="TECHNOLOGY" weightage="20" keywordseo="machine-learning">machine learning</keyword> taking center stage, most of these companies are having to change the ‘job roles’ of their employees too. To facilitate this, two multinationals with heavy presence in India — Capgemini and Cognizant — are taking steps to re-skill over 60,000 employees. Last month, Cognizant said that is planning to reskill and redeploy its senior level employees as a part of its structural rejig. “The gross reduction is expected to lead to a net reduction of approximately 5,000 to 7,000 roles as the company aims to reskill and redeploy approximately 5,000 of the total associates impacted,” <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/careers/news/benching-firing-and-re-deploying-the-story-of-20000-employees-at-tech-majors/articleshow/71934414.cms">said </a>Karen McLoughlin, CFO, Cognizant in its latest earnings call. And it is not just engineers that they want to be well-versed in technologies. It is also hiring 500 sales professionals skilled in digital technologies. As of June, the technology major had 288,200 employees — and over half of them are in India. Capgemini too said that it reskilled over 51,000 of its employees in 2019 so far. They are skilled in emerging technologies like cloud, devOps, and big data. Last year, it upskilled over 60,000 employees through its ‘<keyword id="24019" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="automation">Automation</keyword> Drive Academy.’ The initiative helps the company identify opportunities in the automation space. The cloud of this silver lining is that neither of these tech majors are reskilling ‘all’ its employees. As companies are restructuring, these upskilling projects run parallel to job losses. Capgemini has already started laying off 500 people in India to improve productivity. In Cognizant too, as many as 7,000 mid and senior level jobs are on the line — accounting for 2% of its workforce.

The academy also says that their average compensation is also over ₹15 lakh. A third of them also received job offers over ₹25 lakh per annum. Some other companies that provided job offers include Lido Learning, MindTickle, Delhivery, 1MG, Oyo, MakeMyTrip and Razorpay. The academy claims that most of their students also managed to receive compensation that is twice that of their campus job offers. Of the 182 learners on the platform, 83 previously had job offers extending an average salary of nearly ₹7 lakh via campus placement drives or direct recruitment. That means, the salaries offered after reskilling was more than double, compared to the campus offers. “Once the youth of our country is empowered with the necessary skills and knowledge, they are capable of creating hundreds of unicorns like Facebook and Google. The April 2019 batch was the litmus test to understand that. In fact, 33 of them today hold job offers that are paying over ₹25 lakh per annum,” said <keyword id="8665617" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="abhimanyu-saxena">Abhimanyu Saxena</keyword>, Co-founder at Scaler Academy and <keyword id="8665620" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="InterviewBit">InterviewBit</keyword>. Scaler Academy is an initiative of the reskilling startup Interviewbit. While a few learners on the platform came from premier Indian institutions like Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) and National Institutes of Technology (NITs), almost three-fourths of them were from tier II colleges. “72% of our students come from non-‘pedigree’ institutions and yet they have been able to secure gainful employment opportunities with top companies, including the likes of Google. The numbers clearly suggest that most MNCs and leading start-ups are no longer only hiring from Tier1 colleges, they are increasingly looking at talent over pedigree,” added <keyword id="279823" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Anshuman-Singh">Anshuman Singh</keyword>, co-founder at Scaler Academy and InterviewBit. Currently, Scaler academy has a user base of nearly 2,000 students. The learners are mentored by experts from companies like Google, Facebook, Twitter and Netflix. “A lot of young engineers don’t always have access and exposure to the relevant technical skills or recruitment processes of global companies. Our mission is to bridge that gap and help them grow in their careers. We will help young engineers expand their knowledge and coding skills and enable them to get top tier software engineers jobs at the best global tech companies,” Singh earlier said.

You do need to be cognizant of the fact that the material that you're photographing is not skin."In Bennett Miller's 2014 movie "Foxcatcher," Carell wore prosthetics to play the real-life millionaire John Du Pont, who spearheaded the Schultz brothers attempt to compete in the 1988 Olympic games. Carell was unrecognisable as Du Pont, and earned an Oscar nomination for best actor. <div type="image" title="Vice Foxcatcher " height="1200" width="1600" msid="78192312" hostid="261"></div>Carell also appeared in 2018's "Vice," directed by Adam McKay, and wore makeup to make him look older and larger during certain segments. However, the biggest transformation in that movie was Christian Bale playing former Vice President Dick Cheney. Bale also earned a best actor nomination.Fraser explained that you can only shoot these prosthetics in certain ways with certain lighting, otherwise, it will very obviously look like movie magic on screen as opposed to the realistic look the filmmakers hoped for. And it was the same with Baby Yoda, even if he is an alien creature."Thankfully with The Child, he didn't have normal human skin — so there were a few liberties that could be taken there. But he was still also a puppet."Fraser is a big fan of Baby Yoda and the memes The Child has spawned since debuting in season one "The Mandalorian" ("every time I see one I'm like, 'That's awesome!'"), and says he and creator Jon Favreau worked on maximising his cuteness.<div type="image" title="Baby Yoda peach fuzz hair" height="1200" width="1600" msid="78192315" hostid="261"></div>"One of the the things that Jon identified very early on was that The Child has this little peach fuzz hair which is quite cute," Fraser said. "Jon was a strong supporter of giving The Child a bit of backlight to lift up that peach fuzz hair. What that does is it helps create a bit of three dimensionality to The Child. Trying to make sure it gets enough eye light because it's got big beautiful eyes, basically trying to make it as beautiful and charming as possible."It's safe to say that Fraser and Favreau's mission was pretty successful. <a href="https://www.insider.com/the-mandalorian-season-two-trailer-baby-yoda-2020-9">The season two trailer of "The Mandalorian"</a> has already spawned <a href="https://www.insider.com/the-mandalorian-baby-yoda-nope-meme-tweets-gif-2020-9">fresh new memes of Baby Yoda</a>, while the upcoming release of season two on October 20 will undoubtedly give the world more.Fraser, who also shot "Rogue One" and earned an Oscar nomination for the 2017 Dev Patel drama "Lion," isn't returning on season two, but is content with the three episodes he shot on season one (chapters one, three, and seven).The Australian director of photography also has his hands full shooting another iconic character — Robert Pattinson's Batman.

Every role that Pattinson plays is a contender for an acting award," Fraser said when asked if Pattinson could win an Academy Award as Joaquin Phoenix did for "Joker" earlier this year. "I've seen him in so many incredible movies, and watching him work — he is a master actor.

Narrator: In 2017, researchers tested 20 best-selling US sunscreens. The good news is that 19 of them met FDA standards. The bad news? Nine of them didn't meet European standards. Turns out, different countries have different rules for what makes a safe sunscreen and US sunscreens may not be protecting Americans as well as it could. When we lay in the sun, our skin absorbs two types of UV light. UVA and UVB rays. UVB light is higher energy and can cause sunburns while UVA penetrates deeper under the skin and can damage skin cells along the bottom layer of your epidermis.Desai: We know that UVB rays are the rays that cause sunburns. But UVA rays are the rays that can actually cause skin cancer so you actually wanna cover the spectrum on both of those. I think a lot of people get into a misconception that I didn't get sunburned so I'm not at prone to getting skin cancer which really isn't true.Narrator: The biggest concern with US sunscreen is how much protection you're getting from cancer-causing UVA rays. For decades, FDA regulations required that sunscreens protect against UVB, but not necessarily against UVA. Meanwhile, rates for melanoma, a dangerous form of skin cancer, kept climbing in the US. Then, in 2012, the FDA updated its regulations on labeling and testing so that manufacturers must now let customers know if its sunscreen protects against both UVB and UVA. That's what the broad spectrum label on your sunscreen means, for example. And while this is a good first step, there's still no regulation on how much protection you're getting from UVA. So, there's no way to tell.Desai: Here in the United States, I think we need to be cognizant of the fact that when a sunscreen says it's broad spectrum, UVA- and UVB-protecting, that does mean you're going to get protection against those rays. However, what it does not mean is that it's going to block out all of the rays.Narrator: And that's where US sunscreens fall short.Desai: And I will say that I do think we are behind other countries globally, particularly some of our European counterparts, in getting new sunscreen ingredients approved. Overall, there has not been much change in US sunscreen composition and what our sunscreens are made up of in the past several years.Narrator: The FDA has approved 16 active ingredients that protect against UV radiation. But only some protect against both UVB and UVA rays. For comparison, Europe requires that all of its more than 20 active ingredients protect against both.Desai: Right now, the American Academy of Dermatology and other organizations are really advocating with the FDA that they need to really speed up the approval process for new sunscreen ingredients. Because it's with these ingredients that we can probably get even better coverage and better protection and maybe even get something that's easier to apply, that's easier on the skin, that doesn't have any harmful side effects for patients.Narrator: You can purchase sunscreens from other countries online. But if you plan on sticking with American sunscreens, look for the broad spectrum label and don't buy anything below SPF 30.Desai: The higher the SPF, definitely the better. But we definitely don't want anyone going below a 30. And think about if you're someone who has a history of a melanoma, if you use an SPF 30, you're blocking out let's say 98% of the harmful rays. However, what about the remaining 2%? That 2% may be something that could be potential of putting you at a risk down the road.

But his government remains heavily indebted to Beijing, and he has <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/r-chinas-xi-offers-fresh-295-million-grant-to-sri-lanka-in-push-for-dominance-2018-7" target="_blank" rel="noopener">allowed</a> some projects to resume and continued making <a href="http://colombogazette.com/2016/12/03/sri-lanka-to-buy-more-military-transport-planes-from-china/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">deals</a> for military equipment.That China would now offer up a frigate as a gift isn't really surprising, Smith said."Gifting a frigate to Sri Lanka can be seen as yet another attempt to curry favor with the government and military," he said, pointing to <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/r-chinas-xi-offers-fresh-295-million-grant-to-sri-lanka-in-push-for-dominance-2018-7" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the $295 million</a> Beijing recently "gifted" to Sirisena "to use on a project of his choosing, even as [China] continues to enjoy close ties to the opposition, which is eyeing a political comeback.""It's fairly standard practice in the region," Smith said. "India frequently gifts used military hardware to neighboring countries."India has given Mi-25 attack helicopters <a href="https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/defence/mi-25-attack-helicopter-gifted-by-india-to-afghanistan-reaches-kabul-3-more-to-follow/articleshow/50275035.cms" target="_blank" rel="noopener">to Afghanistan</a> and patrol boats to its smaller neighbors. This sping, New Delhi reportedly caught its <a href="https://www.financialexpress.com/defence/india-will-gift-obsolete-military-equipment-to-friendly-countries/1143098/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">military by surprise</a> with a request for a list of obsolete equipment that could be refurbished cheaply and given to "friendly" countries.China's presence in Sri Lanka has become more of a concern for India. Sri Lanka allowed a Chinese submarine to <a href="https://www.reuters.com/article/sri-lanka-china-submarine/chinese-submarine-docks-in-sri-lanka-despite-indian-concerns-idINKBN0IM0LU20141102" target="_blank" rel="noopener">dock in Colombo</a> in 2014 despite New Delhi's concern. In May 2017, during a visit by India Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Sri Lanka said it had <a href="https://www.scmp.com/news/asia/diplomacy/article/2094093/sri-lanka-refuses-port-call-chinese-submarine-after-indian" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rejected</a> another request for Chinese sub to visit.<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image">Christopher Woody/Google Maps</div></div></div>Straining to repay debts incurred by Rajapaksa's government, Sri Lanka decided in late 2017 to grant China control of the <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/indias-concern-with-beijing-expansion-grows-with-sri-lanka-port-deal-2017-8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">strategically valuable port of Hambantota</a> for 99 years. That concession stoked concern in New Delhi that China would expand its military presence there.The current Sri Lankan government has said it won't allow a larger Chinese military presence there, as it is "cognizant of the furor it sparked in Delhi when Chinese submarines first surfaced in Colombo in 2014," Smith said."It's possible that calculation could change if the more China-friendly Rajapaksas return to power in elections next year," he added, "but even they will be cautious about the backlash it could trigger in India and beyond."In June, Sri Lanka announced that <a href="https://www.scmp.com/news/china/diplomacy-defence/article/2153246/sri-lanka-base-navys-southern-command-chinese-run" target="_blank" rel="noopener">it would move</a> its southern naval command to Hambantota, though Colombo again stressed that it would not allow Beijing to use the port for military purposes.<h2>'A tectonic shift'</h2>India's security focus has undergone "<a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/india-to-buy-submarines-amid-china-naval-activity-in-the-indian-ocean-2017-7" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a tectonic shift</a>" toward its southern approaches in recent years, but its northern frontier, much of which is shared with China, remains a point of contention.<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image">AP Photo/Manish SwarupIndian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, left, with Chinese President Xi Jinping during the BRICS summit in Goa, India, October 16, 2016.</div></div></div>The two countries were locked in months-long standoff in summer 2017 over a small chunk of territory in the eastern Himalayas, where China <a href="https://thewire.in/diplomacy/china-bhutan-belt-and-road-initiative-doklam" target="_blank" rel="noopener">accused</a> India of violating the sovereignty of Bhutan.
