Why Businesses Should Take Charge of Their Big Data Skills Needs

-
For the last few years, businesses all over the globe have been racing to incorporate big data systems and solutions into their processes and operations. That has increased demand for workers with the skills to operate, maintain, and expand those systems to levels not seen in other professions in decades, if ever. All the while, the global education system has been slow to adapt to the growing need, creating a severe shortage of qualified workers in the labor pool.

The 51-foot-long submersible is launched from a pier and can operate autonomously while sailing up to 6,500 nautical miles without being connected to a manned mother ship, according to the Navy.   In military spending terms, the versatility of the Orca at the price is “fairly unheard of in military spending,” according to an account in  The National Interest . The nearest equivalent was cited as the Navy’s Littoral Com

Canada regulator seeks information from public on Rogers-Shaw deal

-
(Reuters) - A Canadian regulator on Tuesday asked for information from the public on telecom company Rogers Communications Inc's planned C$20 billion ($16 billion) purchase of Shaw Communications Inc to check for competition concerns.
