Data and I

Sometimes, I wondered if I use this amount of data which I have been receiving during days, then who will be then, and quickly the answer shows up: "nobody"!

12 Things Great Leaders Do Every Day

Image
BY ILAN MOCHARI   Senior writer, Inc. What should great leaders do at their jobs every day? That basic question--asked by a manager at Barry-Wehmiller (B-W), a $2 billion capital equipment and engineering consulting company based in St. Louis--inspired longtime CEO Bob Chapman and his executive team to create a checklist that literally told managers how to spend their time.  B-W's culture has been praised by purpose-based leadership guru Simon Sinek for its high level of trust between managers and employees. Documents like the checklist and B-W's  "Guiding Principles of Leadership"  have helped to cultivate that trust. In a new book,  Everybody Matters: The Extraordinary Power of Caring for Your People Like Family , due out October 6, Chapman and Raj Sisodia, professor at Babson College and author of   Conscious Capitalism ,  share the checklist in full.  Fans of checklists will be delighted to find that B-W's hews to the principles At

Why Do You Think Canadians are Such Heavy Internet Users?

This question was one of the questions which was negotiated during the last session. I tried to figure out why?  My answer in the class didn't consider I thought "Because Canadians are more educated than the other countries" and I translated this explanation to "I mean they have learned that with this toll they can reach to the more and fast information and they can handle their life much easier with this resources." I surfed the web and I found below information: New report from CIRA looks at the Internet and Canada’s place in it # Canadians rank first in the world when it comes to Internet usage, spending an average of 45 hours per month online. Despite this fact, Canadians still spend more for broadband speed than 19 other countries. These illuminating facts, and more, are included in a new resource from the Canadian Internet Registration Authority (CIRA) released today. The 2013.CA Factbook is a compendium of facts and research about the global domain

My New career with U of T

Yesterday was my first attendance at the class as a student after almost 6 years. During last 2 years which I have been living in Canada I haven't the same chance and I am really glad for that. The first thing which made me up in this class was the instructor's manner in teaching, how he was passionate to be at class and tell us his stories. As a person who has some experience in being at class as a teacher, it was really interesting to me. The second one, was how he chose the topics and how he kept the track of different subjects and how he integrated them together like a good shape. The third one, I have some challenges with some of his contents the same as adding People as the 5th P to the 4Ps theory, or the reason of being the number one in the list of internet users in the world, and something else. But, the main thing is that more or less I found her class useful and valuable. Hopefully I can be good student ;-)

How can we encourage girls to study computer science?

By  Allison Master Sep 23 2015 Imagine a computer programmer. What does this person look like? What is this person doing? Is the person with anyone? What kinds of hobbies might he or she have? Chances are  that you imagined someone who is: male, white or Asian American, kind of geeky-looking and sitting alone at a computer. This typifies the stereotypical image of computer science in American culture. And this image  has only solidified over the past 30 years: so much so that high school girls  say things like : when I heard “computer science,” I pictured nerdy boys, who turned into nerdy bearded men, slouched over huge computers and click-clacking out codes that meant nothing to me. The real problem is that this geeky representation may prevent girls from seriously considering a career in computer science. As it is, women are highly underrepresented in computer science. In recent years, only  18% of college degrees have gone to women. I am part of an interdisciplin
