The Ever Increasing Demand for Trained Professionals in Business Analytics

By Shalini Madhav

VARIOUS ORGANIZATIONS FOCUSING ON ANALYTICS

In the current marketplace where there is cut throat competition for survival, various companies have critical data issues which need to be solved to give proper insights in real time. With changing business landscapes, various companies are making heavy investment in business analytics in order to make better business decisions, getting help from raw facts and figures generated from the past. Someone who has a basic education is not qualified to handle the analysis of complex and bulky unprocessed information. The person chosen to do this job should be properly qualified and trained enough to collect, process, and analyze the raw facts and figures generated by any organization. This sector is the primary concern of various organizations these days as now IT professionals consider information as the most valuable resource.

Professionals who are already working on reporting tools and business intelligence can choose to get trained and certified for Data Analysis in order to enhance their career. This is the most logical move to prepare for the competition out there in the IT market. Mathematicians, economists, software programmers and business analysts can also consider getting certification training for Data Analysis as this can improve their career, job profile and pay scale. Many of the companies also employ well trained neophytes to carry out various operations.

WHAT QUALITIES SHOULD A BUSINESS / DATA ANALYTICS PROFESSIONAL POSSESS?

An Analytics professional should be qualified to carry out collection, cleansing, processing, mining, optimization, modeling and analysis of data from simple to complex levels. An analytic professional makes available the best solution, from various solutions, which is most optimized. Knowledge of operating analytic tools and other various software alone is of no help. The Analytics professional should be well trained and certified from a well-known, reputable institute. An experienced candidate is preferred by most of the recruitment firms. However, some companies are often interested in recent graduates for various operations. People working in this sector are expected to possess knowledge specific to particular domains to solve various real world problems.

A Healthy Lifestyle Is Not a New Year Resolution, It's a Discipline

By Tanu Bhattacharya

A healthy lifestyle from the start will decide how you will be in your midlife and beyond. However it won't happen unless you make the right choices. Work out, eat healthy, sleep well and you will set yourself on the path to success. After about 40, most people have achieved biological adulthood, which is a nicer way to saying you have boarded the slow train to your inevitable mortality. You will start to realize the slow and gradual decline in your response to bodily activities and the resulting resistance in your bodily functions.

Eating unhealthy processed food, irregular sleep pattern and inactivity create low level inflammatory response in your body. This inflammation gradually increases overtime, contributing directly to the germination of every major disease plaguing mankind - obesity, diabetes, heart disease, fatty liver disease, just to name a few.

The first and foremost thing to focus on is Nutrition - what you eat. Add lots of green leafy vegetables, whole grains, organic poultry, dairy and fruits in your daily diet. Keep your body hydrated. Drink plenty of water and raw fruit juice as fluids help keeping body temperature low and removes toxins through perspiration (sweat) and excretion (urine). Keep a balanced share of carbohydrate, protein, good fats and minerals. These small changes in your diet will contribute to your overall wellbeing. Cut back unhealthy fats from your diet slowly and target on stopping to consume them completely. Unhealthy fats include: dark chicken meat, poultry skin, fatty pork cuts, beef and lamb and high-fat dairies include whole milk, butter and cheese. Common ways to cut back on unhealthy fats are listed below:

Instead of frying meat, Bake / Grill / Broil it. Don't forget to take the skin off before cooking chicken or turkey

Instead of butter and cheese on bread, use low fat spreads or slices of tomatoes on it to enhance the flavour

Instead of scrambled eggs, eat boiled / soft-boiled eggs. Garnish with a pinch of salt and black pepper to taste best

Instead of using sugar in patisseries and desserts, use organic honey to satisfy your sweet bud and stay healthy

When it comes to a healthy lifestyle, the importance of sleep is worth discussing. Get yourself adequate sleep, because internal healing and tissue repair happen only when you sleep. Sleep deficiency contributes to an increased risk of cardio-vascular disease, kidney disease, brain damage etc. Sleep deprivation lowers the metabolic rate of your body, which is linked to weight gain. Studies show that sleep deprived individuals have higher levels of Ghrelin, the hormone which stimulates appetite and lower levels of Leptin, the hormone which suppresses appetite. Hence, good sleepers tend to intake fewer calories.

The last, but definitely not the least is the importance of regular exercise when it comes to a healthy and active lifestyle. No matter which age group you belong to, it is advisable and wise to include a minimum 30 minutes of workout / physical activity of moderate intensity such as running, brisk walking on most, if not all days of the week. As humans, we spend far too much time in our synthetic environment, disconnected from the outside world. This disconnect poses a serious threat to our health and general wellness. Think of your body as a complex machine, which houses equally complex parts (bones) and sub systems (organs) inside. If you let it sit idle, the parts and the sub systems will lose movement capability and eventually get rusted. A few tips to incorporate exercise in your daily routine:

Prioritize physical activity

Make it fun

Get a partner

Keep a track of results

Set milestones

All these factors put together, will bring noticeable change in your lifestyle and wellbeing. Some changes will happen quickly, some will be gradual. But overall, you will feel the positive change in your health - mind, body and soul.

Cheers to a Healthy Lifestyle!

Future Education In The Age Of The Implanted Brain Information and Communication Chip

By Lance Winslow

Not long ago, I was discussing with a future Think Tank member his concerns about how education in North America and around the world is not keeping up with technology, or ready for the future of computer-brain interfaces. This may sound like an esoteric topic, however when you consider the speed of these technologies, I am sure we've already all thought about how in the future, your smart phone will be nothing more than a brain-chip with full Internet Access that works with your organic brain in real-time. Want to send a thought, just think it, think about whom you'd like to send this thought to, and it's sent, post on social media and you are done.

Want to learn a new topic, no need, you have instant access to all human information, and it will feel as if it is all in your own memory, just think a question and viola, you have the answer. My think tank acquaintance noted that we are a ways off from that future, and if the past is any indication of how we might handle that future, then we are in big trouble. Education is broken already, and it will not be able to adapt to something that different. He noted we need to fix all the rote memorization teaching, it isn't working. And, I would submit to you that it will be even worse in the future, in fact; why memorize anything if you have full-time unlimited access to all the information ever created and stored in the cloud of humanity?

So what he is saying is that we have to teach people to THINK, not just put the students in rows, open their skulls and pour information in to them, which is what pedagogy has been for most of the 20th century and now to for a lot of this century. I of course agree. If we integrate the brain-chip or implanted information, or access to all human information in real time to the brain, it will only work if the human user has enough foresight to ask the right questions, and cross-pollinate the information in an innovative and creative way. This is something that humans are good at, when they practice it, and as of yet, AI computers are not so good at. Together (AI + human brains) it will be smarter than either on its own, smarter than today's human and smarter than a future AI computer chip w/instant access to all human information to date and up on all new information in real-time.

The increase in IQ wouldn't matter. Everyone would be super smart and retain unlimited information in the cloud storage device or set of distributive cloud computers around the planet. The best and most creative minds would use this information in the most novel ways, ask the best questions and have most of those questions answered to pose new ones. The speed of innovation would be so intensive that Ray Kurzweil's "Singularity" theory would be realized in short order.

A Life Of Meaning And Responsibility

By Joshua Clayton

We must create our own meaning and take responsibility for ourselves. With that said. I begin this article: I was having an early morning discussion today with my Mother about past pain and trauma in my childhood. Although it was mostly one-sided, and I was fully letting it go once in for all, I realized that if it is to be it is up to me. Especially when I seriously quote luminaries like Calvin Coolidge (on persistence) and Mark Spitz (on work ethic) almost all the time, now. Think about it, nothing takes the place of persistence and great work ethic, not even "natural genius" or "good looks that get you through initially". Do not just read what I am saying, hear what I am saying, especially "those that have everything on a silver platter, easy" that need a dose of this lesson here.

Sometimes, I think the real "easy way" comes to the person willing to do the hardest things in the genuine best and most meticulous way possible with full detail and honesty attended to in every way. On the other hand, the real hard way comes to those "who have it too easy without understanding fully what they have until after they have used it wrong". I took the genuinely real "easy way" like the first example, and that way seems "silly" sometimes to the best and worst of us until it is "too late", "after the fact" and all is said and done, results are tallied and realities counted for.

A life of meaning and responsibility is always harder than cruising through it all, but I can tell you that it is worth it in every way for anyone who fully lives it and without wishing for that "easy way" even at times. What do you think Friedrich Nietzsche really tried to mean by "The noble soul has reverence for itself"? A truly noble soul does not want any part of "easy dishonesty" and lives for what is real and really good instead of what "looks good". Reality to be conquered must genuinely be obeyed, right down to avionics when it comes to genuine plane flight? Well, I say life is that way, and it cannot be faked ultimately even if we seemingly and temporarily "get away with faking it for a while". So, start thinking: There is nothing to hide behind, really. There is nothing to fake definitely, and reality always catches up with us ultimately. If you do the right thing, there is nothing to worry about. If you do the wrong thing, it will catch up with you ultimately. Final hint in this article: The only ultimate cheater is in the mirror, and our only ultimate best friend if we do the right thing is in the mirror.

My name is Joshua Clayton, I am a freelance writer based in Inglewood, California. I also write under a few pen-names and aliases, but Joshua Clayton is my real name, and I write by that for the most part now. I am a philosophical writer and objective thinker and honest action taker. I also work at a senior center in Gardena, California as my day job, among other things, but primarily I am a writer.
