Jigsaw to Collaborate with Business Schools in Delivering a One Credit Analytics Course as Part of Their Regular Curriculum.
After a series of successful workshops for students and faculty at Business Schools around the country, Jigsaw Academy now gears up to take analytics training for MBA students to the next level. Jigsaw will collaborate with professors and management of premier business schools to design, facilitate and deliver cutting edge analytics education as part of their regular curriculum.
Bangalore, India (PRWEB) May 07, 2013
Jigsaw Academy, a premier online analytics training academy has spent the last six months, visiting business schools across India, spreading awareness about analytics and the exciting and rewarding career options it opens up. They found that Business schools are only just waking up to the realization that data science and SAS skills are imperative for business graduates today.
The recent Graduate Management Admission Council® (GMAC®) Corporate Recruiters Survey, revealed that top recruiters want their recruits to have strong data analytical skills. Hence it´s critical that business schools invest in delivering data science and integrated reasoning skill sets to their students. Though Business schools in India are extremely receptive and eager to empower their students with analytics skills, the fact of the matter is that by and large their in house analytics expertise is still nascent. Consequently they must look to collaborate with analytics experts on the outside.
Jigsaw Academy, with their impeccable track record and glowing endorsements offers a viable solution. Having been approached by business schools to work with them in developing and delivering an analytics one credit course, Jigsaw is excited to begin this new initiative.
"Analytics education is our forte. Extending our online training module into the Business school classroom would be an opportunity for us to equip business graduates with a wide depth of analytics skills, enabling them to digest and interpret huge volumes of data effectively in their work place." says Gaurav Vohra, CEO and founder of Jigsaw Academy.
"We will design and deliver a course that enables business school students to be analytics savvy. They will learn how to use data effectively and draw insights that influence the business positively. Our instructors will use their real-world experiences to teach analytical skills and applications that are most valued in the corporate world." says Sarita Digumarti, co founder and faculty at Jigsaw.
About the company
Jigsaw Academy is a first of its kind online learning academy that provides industry-relevant e-training and education in the field of data science and analytics to develop business-ready professionals. It´s carefully-designed courses are a unique blend of statistics, statistical tools and industry knowledge, all taught through real life examples.

Texas Architect Jan/Feb 2008: Design for Education
Texas Architect is the official publication of the Texas Society of Architects, each edition features recently completed projects and other editorial content largely written by AIA members in Texas. That collective participation was the basis of Texas Architect's recognition by the national AIA with a 2010 Institute Honor for Collaborative Achievement.
texas architect 1/2 2008 14 A Half-Century of Best works by Hines On View at Architecture Center Houston h o u s t o n Starting with a project for a small office and warehouse in 1957, Gerald D. Hines began developing real estate in Houston with a keen eye for adding value to his projects with architectural excellence. A half-century later, having developed hundreds of buildings around the world, Hines has remained committed to raising the standards of commercial design by engaging the best practitioners. To commemorate the 50th anniversary of Hines, the Houston Architecture Foundation and AIA Houston are sponsoring an exhibition of his company's projects. Titled Hines/50 Years/50 Selected Works, the exhibit opened in Dec. 12 at the Architecture Center Houston. More than 400 people joined Mr. and Mrs. Hines for the opening reception. The crowd included students from the University of Houston's Gerald D. Hines College of Architecture. Hines greeted friends and asso- ciates and signed his new book, Hines: A Legacy of Quality in the Built Environment. City Councilman Peter Brown, AIA, presented a proclamation from Houston Mayor Bill White declaring Dec. 12, 2007, as Gerald D. Hines Day. The 50 projects, selected from hundreds Hines has developed, were chosen for archi- tectural merit, chronological consistence, and geographical diversity. They range from his first project, the Fischer and Porter Building (1957), to the spectacular Meudon Campus completed this year on the former site of Renault car fac- tories along the Seine just outside Paris. The exhibition includes at least one photograph of each project, historic promotional brochures, maps and drawings, and models of several Houston buildings (One Shell Plaza, Pennzoil Place, RepublicBank Center, First International Plaza, and Texas Commerce Tower). One of the most striking realizations is that Hines was the developer for so many well-known buildings, particularly in Houston, where today's skyline was in effect created by Hines. There are 14 Houston projects in the exhibit, with an equal number from outside the United States. The exhibition documents the incre- mental growth of the company from Houston's Richmond Corridor in the 1950s and 1960s to the city at large in the 1970s and to other large U.S. cities beginning in the early 1980s. Hines' first projects outside the U.S. were in Mexico; Del Bosque (1997) and Torre Del Angel (2000), both in Mexico City, are representative of these projects. In the last decade of the twentieth cen- tury, Hines began to build in Europe, including DZ Bank (1999) in Berlin; Diagonal Mar Centre (2001) in Barcelona; and the EDF Tower (2001) at La Défense in Paris. By 2002, Hines was working in Asia with projects such as Embassy House (2002) in Beijing. These buildings and many more are repro- duced in glossy, large-scale photographs spe- cifically for the exhibition. The architecture is never of a kind, making it difficult to see any pattern in the Hines work. Many are, of course, skyscrapers, but some, such as the flamboyant Diagonal Mar (2001) in Barcelona, designed by Robert A. M. Stern, make an important urban statement with a lively street-level facade. Inter- esting geometries abound in buildings such as Pennzoil Place (1979), Norwest Center Min- neapolis (1987), St Luke's Tower (1991), and the sexy EDF Tower (2001). Building materials also vary from project to project, though the recent buildings are more about glass and metal, such as the sleek stainless steel and glass skin of EDF (Pei Cobb Freed), than the earlier chromatic stone facades such as that of Houston's Repub- licBank (Johnson/Burgee). The most fascinating element of these selected works is the variety of architects rep- resented. On a similar urban site with a similar building program, these projects never look alike. Johnson/Burgee, who worked most often with Hines in the early years, is represented here with 11 projects. Many other firms – including Cesar Pelli & Associates, Robert A. M. Stern, Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, Kohn Ped- erson Fox, HOK, Pei Cobb Freed, Kevin Roche John Dinkeloo and Associates, Frank O. Gehry, Gensler, and Picard Chilton – have notable buildings on display. Houston architects begin- ning with Neuhaus & Taylor and Wilson, Morris Crain & Anderson (now Morris Architects), and Kendall/Heaton Associates also have worked often and successfully with Hines. Hines repeatedly has proven over the course of 50 years that good design and quality con- struction make economic sense. But Hines' legacy will not be measured in terms of finan- cial success but in the powerful and profound international architecture that the company has commissioned, developed, and constructed. This exhibition brings together for the first time a large number of Hines projects in a coherent and visually impressive way that gives substance to this claim. A mini-catalog is available as an informative companion to Hines/50 Years/50 Selected Works. The catalog and promotional materials were designed by HILL and photographic panels were produced by Aker Zvonkovic Photography. The exhibition and opening were coordinated by Nicole Laurent, director of Architecture Center Houston (ArCH) with Clint Willour as curator of the works on display. Hines/50 Years/50 Selected Works will be on display through Feb. 28 at ArCH, 315 Capitol in downtown Houston. The organizers intend for the exhibit to travel to other cities in 2008 and 2009.

Clinton calls on Laos to find missing activist
Wednesday - 1/16/2013, 4:52pm EST
By MATTHEW PENNINGTON and GRANT PECK
Associated Press writers
WASHINGTON (AP) - Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton on Wednesday added to international pressure on the authoritarian government in Laos to investigate the disappearance a month ago of a prominent social activist and reunite him with his family.
Sombath Somphone, 60, went missing Dec. 15 in the capital of Vientiane after he was stopped by police at a checkpoint. The government of the small Southeast Asian nation has disavowed responsibility for the disappearance, suggesting he was kidnapped over a personal dispute.
Laos is a one-party state and the government is intolerant of dissent, but associates say Sombath's work was neither directly political nor confrontational. Educated in the U.S., he won one of Asia's top civil awards in 2005 for his work reducing poverty and promoting education at a training center he founded.
Clinton said Sombath has worked tirelessly to promote sustainable development in Laos. She called on the Lao government to pursue a transparent investigation and to do everything in its power to bring about his "immediate and safe return home."
The U.N. human rights office and the European Union have also voiced deep concern.
In Bangkok on Wednesday, three Southeast Asian lawmakers who visited Laos to discuss the case said they were not satisfied with the explanations they had received from Lao officials.
The lawmakers from Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines rejected the idea that the disappearance was a simple kidnapping. They suggested Lao security agencies may have acted on their own in holding Sombath without informing other wings of the government.
"It is indeed possible that the officials we met, high though they are in the government and National Assembly, do not know what happened to Sombath," Philippine lawmaker Walden Bello told a news conference. He said they urged officials to investigate whether elements within the government were behind the abduction.
Closed-circuit TV footage showed him being detained by police and then driven away in the company of two unidentified men.
While not a political figure, Sombath is a leading representative of Laos' fledgling civil society.
He participated in an October meeting in Vientiane of non-governmental organizations from Asia and Europe. The forum highlighted the need to safeguard the environment and the fair land use for small farmers. Such views are often odds with those of the government, which emphasizes rapid economic growth and major infrastructure projects in what is one of Asia's poorest nations.
The latest State Department human rights report, for 2011, said arbitrary arrests and detentions persisted in Laos despite laws prohibiting them. It also said "prison conditions were harsh and at times life-threatening, and corruption in the police and judiciary persisted."
Peck reported from Bangkok, Thailand.

Liddle vincey you are my hero, my angel, my life. I love you 101% and always will. You have found yourself a spot in my heart and will remain there for ever and ever. You have taught me so much and I owe everything I know to you. Ever since I saw you, a bright, excited dapple grey galloping happily around your paddock I have loved you. Not just liked but loved, completely, totally and truly. You taught me how to laugh, how to smile, how to be free. We have been through so much together, bad times and good times, horrid timeas and amazing times. We have felt like we were flying and felt like we couldnt be closer to the ground. You have galloped away, forgetting all around you....even the petrified sheep who didnt stop and the rider clinging to your back but I didnt give up. We worked on our problems, our faults and our issues. We mastered the canter without reins, helmet (stupidly!) and saddle...mastered the bareback jump.....so far we have come together and so much further we have left to go. You were a mane to cry into and and understood even though you couldnt say it. You are my LIFE! I would drop everything to rush to your side in an injury....stay with you all night if I had too...I LOVE YOU DARLING! Always and forever....together until the end!

What's in a name? For the Timorese, quite a lot
Gordon Peake and Piers Kelly write:
With allegations of Australian chicanery during the Timor Sea negotiations, a definitional dilemma emerges for the media: just what is the correct name of our northern neighbor? Is it East Timor or Timor-Leste? The ABC and the Guardian seem to working off different style guides on the question. In the main, journos tends to use the former with talking heads more frequently opting for the latter.
The '-Leste' part is a Portuguese-derived term meaning 'East' and its position after the word 'Timor' is consistent with the rules of both Portuguese and the national language Tetun. Why then, is it becoming habitual to use this term in English-language contexts? After all, we tend not to talk about going on holidays to Italia or Deutschland for which well-established and better-understood English counterparts are available.
It turns out that there are good reasons for this.READ MORE

Objective Measures of Spaciousness and Envelopment
Research into concert hall acoustics has shown that acoustic preference is strongly influenced by spatial properties of the sound field. Commonly discussed perceptions include Apparent Source Width (ASW), -Intimacy,- and Listener Envelopment (LEV). Objective measures of these perceptions have proven difficult to construct, in part because the perceptions depend strongly on the source signal. Current measures for these properties have not always given consistent results and are not, in general, applicable to sound systems in small rooms. This paper discusses the strengths and weaknesses of conventional measures. It also presents two new measures, diffuse-field transfer function (DFT) and average interaural time delay (AITD), which are useful at low frequencies in small rooms.

The session will address the problems created by early marriages and ways to prevent them. Mereso Kiluso, a Tanzanian mother of five now in her 20s, who was married at 14 to an abusive man in his 70s, will describe her experience.
If child marriage is not properly addressed, UN Millennium Development Goals 4 & 5 - calling for a two-thirds reduction in the under-five mortality rate and a three-fourths reduction in the maternal deaths by 2015 - will not be met.
Child marriage - defined as marriage before the age of 18 - applies to both boys and girls, but the practice is far more common among young girls.
Child marriage is a global issue but rates vary dramatically, both within and between countries. In both proportions and numbers, most child marriages take place in rural sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia.
In South Asia, nearly half of young women and in sub-Saharan Africa more than one third of young women are married by their 18th birthday.
The 10 countries with the highest rates of child marriage are: Niger, 75 percent; Chad and Central African Republic, 68 percent; Bangladesh, 66 percent; Guinea, 63 percent; Mozambique, 56 percent; Mali, 55 percent; Burkina Faso and South Sudan, 52 percent; and Malawi, 50 percent.
In terms of absolute numbers, because of the size of its population, India has the most child marriages and a prevalence of 47 percent.
What progress has been made to stop the practice has been in urban areas where families see greater work and education opportunities for young girls.
A violation of the rights of girls
"No girl should be robbed of her childhood, her education and health, and her aspirations. Yet today millions of girls are denied their rights each year when they are married as child brides," says Michelle Bachelet, M.D., Executive Director of UN Wo

CAPITAL CULTURE: Obamas dish on daughters' doings
The Obamas aren't the first presidential parents to want to shield children from life in the fishbowl known as Washington.
First lady Jacqueline Kennedy sought to keep her children, Caroline and John Jr., out of the glare as much as possible. After she left the White House, she advised other first families with young children, such as Bill and Hillary Rodham Clinton, to do the same.
Chelsea Clinton, who got married in July, was curly haired and entering her teenage years when Clinton was elected president in 1992. "Saturday Night Live" incurred her parents' wrath by lampooning her, but the news media generally respected her privacy. It also helped that the Clintons were so tightlipped about Chelsea that it sometimes failed to register that a child was living at the White House.
George W. Bush's twins, Barbara and Jenna, were living away at college when he was sworn in to office in 2001.
Anita McBride, who was first lady Laura Bush's chief of staff, said presidents and first ladies are constantly weighing how much they want to shield their children from exposure against how much they're willing to satisfy public curiosity by talking about them.
"It's a very fine line," she said. "People want to know about what's happening with first families and children in the White House."
For the most part, Malia and Sasha are kept out of the limelight, except for some trips, such as the family's vacations in Bar Harbor, Maine, and Martha's Vineyard, Mass., and other appearances with one or both parents.
The White House has invited some coverage of the girls, such as on their first day of school in Washington in January 2009. But it also complains about other coverage, even when the girls are brought to official events where the media are present.
The girls have spoken publicly at length just once: They and Bo, the family's Portuguese water dog, joined the first lady last year for a Christmastime reading of stories at Children's National Medical Center in Washington. They took turns reading a story and helped Mom answer questions afterward.
Once, though, the president got into trouble by talking about Malia - and ended up apologizing to her.
During a speech last year about his education priorities, Obama told the audience at a Madison, Wis., middle school how disappointed Malia was after getting 73 percent on a science test. Gibbs said Obama later apologized to her.
Gibbs didn't know if Dad also apologized for his revelation about the braces.
"I think he is now very careful to make sure that he does not stray beyond what is acceptable," Gibbs said.

I wanted to put my dog in the back seat, but he's too frisky to stay put. I'd rather avoid a carrier, so I tried the Kurgo. Works great. He has been discouraged from crawling over the center panel and he really likes the hammock aspect. I can keep it in the car until I need to put in a passenger and then I just unhook the straps from the front seats.

I still think Evert deserves recognition as the clay GOAT as she mantained her best level on clay for 15 years, and her day to day consistency on the surface is mind boggling, 125 straight wins over 6 years no matter how weak the clay field was! I do think Graf and Seles both played in a far tougher clay field than Evert did though.
It is interesting to wonder how Lenglen and Connolly would compare on clay at their best transported to the same time as well. Really impossible to guage with any accuracy in their case.
Graf is certainly in Evert's league on clay. As for Seles, Evert would have figured her out, and had the same kind of success Hingis did. Once prime Evert adjusts to the pace of shot, Seles hasn't much more to trouble her with. Graf's slice bothered Evert more and Steffi's footspeed was such that Evert could not keep her out of position long enough to take advantage frequently enough.

SUNSET BEACH—Reigning "Dancing with the Brunswick County Stars" champion Dinah Gore waltzed her way to a second victory Friday night, as the annual fundraiser brought in more than $330,000 for the Brunswick Community College Foundation.
Gore and her professional partner, Paul McTaggart, raised the most amount of money for their Viennese Waltz, followed by stars Jan Williamson and her professional partner Chris Madray, and Courtney Babson and her professional partner Christopher Robbins.
"Dancing With the Brunswick County Stars" will take center stage at 6 p.m. tonight at the Sea Trail Resort & Conference Center in Sunset Beach.
Five hundred seats for the event were available but have sold out. Tickets were $100 each.
The event is an annual fundraiser for Brunswick Community College Foundation. The proceeds will be used to give scholarships to future BCC students.
Last year's event was a first for the foundation, and it raised more than $200,000.
It's been more than a week since N.C. Sen. R.C. Soles Jr. allegedly shot a man at his Tabor City home, but no charges have been filed.
District Attorney Rex Gore on Monday said investigators with the State Bureau of Investigation, the agency leading the shooting investigation at the request of Tabor City Police Chief Donald Dowless, were still collecting material for their investigation, and no charges have been filed.
Gore said SBI agents were "still in a very preliminary stage and not nearly complete."
OCEAN ISLE BEACH—A parasailing incident here Friday afternoon has left two visiting women dead. Medical examiners have determined blunt trauma caused both deaths.
Cynthia Collins Woodcock, 60, of Kernersville, and Lorrie D. Shoup, 56, of Granby, Colo., were killed Friday afternoon when a rope connecting the parasailers and the boat "parted," according to the initial report from U.S. Coast Guard's Marine Safety Unit.
The two women died near the Ocean Isle Beach Pier.
CAROLINA SHORES—Three candidates have withdrawn from the race for two commissioners seats in Carolina Shores.
Bob Breen withdrew from the upcoming Nov. 3 election on Aug. 25. Fellow residents Dave Jones and Leon Paulikas each bowed out on Aug. 26.
That leaves three candidates vying for two available seats in the at-large race—incumbent Gere Dale and newcomers Joyce Dunn and Walter Goodenough. Both seats are for four-year terms on the town's six-member board of commissioners (including the mayor).
BOLIVIA—The sound of beating drums could be heard from nearly every hallway at Brunswick County Academy last week, and the sound of music is expected to be heard many more times at the school this year.
A grant from the North Carolina General Assembly will allow school officials at the Academy and Transition Academy to bring artists and musicians to classrooms to teach students an art form and instill lifelong values.
BOLIVIA—A large crowd wearing red shirts and Band-Aids gathered at the county courthouse in Bolivia prior to the Brunswick County Board of Education's monthly meeting Tuesday night.
The Brunswick County Association of Educators and the North Carolina Association of Educators hosted the gathering, in hopes of gaining the attention of the board.
The Brunswick County Board of Education was served with a lawsuit three days after members voted to transfer an employee who filed a grievance against Superintendent Katie McGee.
Sherry Dove, a district employee since 1984, filed a lawsuit in Brunswick County Superior Court Friday, claiming board members made "an unlawful retaliatory transfer and reassignment."
After a daylong visit in Brunswick County last week, U.S. Rep Mike McIntyre made his last stop in Ocean Isle Beach and presented the town with a check for $281,388 in grant money recently awarded to the town.
The check included $136,050 the fire department received in February, which was used to purchase 17 air packs and a vehicle exhaust system for the department, and $145,288 the police department received last month, which will provide the salary for an extra police officer during the next three years.
Allen Strickland has been in and out of the Columbus County Jail several times in the past week.
The 17-year-old Tabor City teen whose home was gutted by an early-morning fire last month was arrested Thursday, Aug. 27, and charged with fraudulently setting fire to a dwelling house and attempting to obtain property by false pretenses.
Three days later, Strickland was arrested again—charged with reckless driving, fleeing to elude arrest, no operator's license and filing a false police report after leading Tabor City Police on a high-speed chase through town.

Clamp blocking outside grommet
What do you do if you can't get to the next grommet from the outside because of the clamp? A few times I have been able to thread it the through but a few times the angle to get tension is bad and/or I just can't get string to next hole from the outside.
What do you do? Undo clamp to get string through and then tighten back up?
Make a mental note of it and don't clamp so close next time. But if you mess up like that, you need to repull that last string and then reclamp it properly. Is this on your main to cross transition?
You need to adjust your 6 and/or 12 o'clock so the support on the side does not block your grommet.

The Communist Party of India-Marxist activists staged a novel protest near Sub Collector's office here demanding housing for the poor.
The dharna drew attention of passersby on Wednesday as the activists put up a make-shift house with bamboo sticks and canvas, which could accommodate three persons in it. Some others carried houses made out of cardboard on their heads to register their protest against the Government apathy towards the shelter-less.
Addressing the gathering, CPI (M) city secretary Ch. Babu Rao said that State Government and Vijayawada Municipal Corporation (VMC) had failed in keeping their promises to provide housing for the poor.
The Corporation gave allotment slips to 1.4 lakh families promising houses to them. It even launched housing programmes under Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM) with much fanfare. It could provide houses to only 7,700 people dashing hopes of thousands of people, he said.
The Rajiv Awas Yojana, Rajiv Swagriha, and major chunk of houses taken up under the JNNURM remained on papers. Hundreds of houses at Jakkampudi, Gangiredduladibba and Rajarajeswaripeta are yet to be allotted to the poor. Many irregularities took place in the allotment of houses. Only the followers of MLAs and MP could get housing. A thorough probe into it was imminent, he said.
The main demands include allocation of houses to all poor and tenants; immediate allocation of houses to the families who were given slips and photos were taken. The government was also requested to commence the works on 3,000 houses at Ajithsingh Nagar; Issuance of pattas to people living on hilly areas.
CPI(M) leaders D. Kasinath, Paturi Ramaiah and others were present.

Nets' GM King believes in Deron Williams. Not that he has a choice.
Feb 12, 2013, 10:48 AM EDT
The Nets are invested in Deron Williams. He was the first star they got, trading with the Utah Jazz in a surprise move before they had moved out of New Jersey. They worked hard to keep him and gave him a max contract. Now he's finally got some healthy other stars around him such as All-Star Brook Lopez, but make no mistake Williams is the face of the franchise.
And he just hasn't been that good this year.
He hasn't been bad — he averages 16.7 points a game and has an above average PER of 17.9 — but he has not been the guy once mentioned in the same breath with Chris Paul as the best point guard in the game. He hasn't been nearly as explosive and since coming to the Nets he hasn't shot better than the 41.7 percent he has this season, while in Utah he was regularly above 45 percent.
Now Williams is out through All-Star weekend to rest inflammation in his ankles, and he got the blood-spinning PRP treatment (the Kobe knee treatment) on those ankles.
People are down on D-Will, but Nets' GM Billy King had his back in an interview with the New York Daily News. Not that he really has a choice — King is the guy who put the max contract offer in front of Williams last summer.
"Am I confident he's going to get back to being Deron Williams? Yes."
What is he supposed to say?
"You're digging. You're digging. And you're asking valid questions, but (the inflammation to Williams' ankles) is not a concern," King said. "Kobe's had the blood-platelet spinning on his knees, and guys have had it. It happens. So let's not make this a bigger issue than it is. Let's let him get through this, have a week off and get back to playing basketball. Let's not put the dirt on him and say his career's over at 28."
So what is King holding out for? That the Nets will get healthy at the right time and make a surprise playoff run.
"You get in the playoffs, you've got a chance," he said. "I look at the Boston Celtics last year, they were buried and they got to the conference final. This year, they were buried and now they've won 7 in a row. …I think the goal for us is to get back to playing good basketball."
The Celtics play great defense. And they were only the four seed last year, by the way.
But what else is King going to say?

because comparing them to the rest of the 29 teams, that is not very accurate of an assessment. they are definitely above the average bball team. average would be the bucks
- thetooloftools - Feb 12, 2013 at 12:28 PM
Yea, now just bring D. Howard in and you'll never win anything. Williams nor Howard even remotely show ANY leadership skills.
- joshm5683 - Feb 12, 2013 at 12:40 PM
Just because Kobe Bryant, 1 of the greatest of all time has had this treatment doesn't mean everyone who gets this treatment will all of a sudden become great. Williams is a good PG, but was probably a tad overrated by everyone(including me, I thought he was pretty good) but he is what he is at this point…….
