Whether it is higher education or scientific research, research becomes rather fruitless without statistics, while making use of statistics makes the job a lot easier and simpler with its various principles and concepts. When so much hinges on statistics, it is only natural for schools and colleges to impart knowledge to students in this core math subject.

Jazz Guitar Standards - Kenny Burrell Played Them With Class!

Image
Kenny Burrell was born in Detroit, Michigan on July 31, 1931. His musical endeavors began in his home town of Detroit. He began to play the guitar at the age of twelve and was at first taught by his older brother Bill. Burrell originally wished to play the saxophone but the high expense of this instrument influenced him to start playing the guitar instead! Kenny was lucky to have a musical background. His father was a banjoist, his mother a pianist, and both brothers were guitarists. Many of Burrell's friends at the Miller High School in Detroit were musicians including jazz pianist Tommy Flanagan and bassist Calvin Jackson. His music director at school was Louis Cabrara and he proved most influential in helping to form Kenny's musical career. It is intriguing to note that other ex-pupils of Miller High School were vibraphonist Milt Jackson and saxophonists Yusef Lateef and Pepper Adams. Kenny Burrell's early heroes were jazz guitar players Charlie Christian and Oscar Moore...

Image
What's going on? According to an article published in the LA Times in February, computing jobs will increase to 1.4 million by 2020, yet currently men outnumber women in the technical sector by 4:1. In 2008, Harvard Business Review conducted a study (which it updated in 2014) that found as many as 50% of women working in engineering and technology will leave over time citing a hostile work environment. In 2014, Fortune magazine interviewed 716 women who left the technology industry. 87.3% of this group indicated that they have no plans to return to the technology field. Only 3% said they would definitely return. In 2014, NPR cited that 40% of women with engineering degrees leave the profession or never enter the field. Any time there is a talent drain of this magnitude, it is time to understand, and do something about it. The going, going, gone culture Women are not leaving because the work is too hard or too demanding. Women are leaving the technology industry because of the cultu...

Money, Money, Everywhere

Image
No matter how little money you have, you might be surprised to discover that you have some in places you would never think to look. How many times have you gone to the store and put the change into your pocket or pocketbook, and forgotten that it was there? Over the years I have heard numerous stories like that. One woman was always finding bills and coins in the oddest places. When I asked her why she didn't remember having put them there she told me that sometimes she needed to do something as soon as she got home and then hung up her coat without checking the pockets or changed pocketbooks without transferring everything from one to the other. I would have thought that a person who was always finding a few dollars here and there would think to look for money when she needed it most. Yet this woman never did. Each time she looked in a pocketbook or wallet, she always found some. If I had ever had the experience, even once, of finding money in my coat pocket, a purse, or a wallet,...

How to Achieve Better Results Promoting Teamwork in the Workplace

Apart from creating a friendly environment, promoting collaboration has big benefits in the application development process. When IT professionals work collectively, they can bounce ideas off one another and catch more bugs than if they were working alone. Also, the time-to-market period may be reduced as teamwork allows employees to apply the right skills to difficulties. Teamwork is the ideal vehicle to transfer knowledge with others. When developers collaborate, they observe different work styles and pick up tips and tricks of the trade. If you have more people on your team who know how to do something well, you will have more built-in redundancies which helps ensure projects are completed correctly and on time. Here are three ways to strengthen teamwork in a workplace: 1. Co-locate Employees:  There are many advantages of remote teamwork. Telecommuting is a recruiting tool and inexpensive perk for managers.
