The field of mathematics has been home to many great minds – indeed, perhaps some of the greatest minds that the world has ever seen. Statistics is no exception to this.

This is a great tragedy, as, in other fields, women have made some of the greatest contributions imaginable. Consider where we would be now if it were not for Cleopatra, Joan of Arc, Betsy Ross, Amelia Earhart, Marie Curie or Rosalind Franklin! One notable ...

The Modern Statesman: The Life & Career of Winston Churchill

Machiavelli proposed that power defines the quality of a statesman. However, modern concepts in politics assume that leaders work in service to the people, and it is counter-productive to base leadership on fear because it can become a selfish or neglecting tyranny rather than a method for promoting national well-being. Statesmen are required to have more qualities, and their effectiveness is determined through more complex analyses of their qualities and behavior. It is no longer adequate to rule by power alone. A leader requires positive traits that build trust among the population. Churchill is an example of a statesman who built his reputation ...

Leadership can be inborn as well as instilled. Whichever method it comes into existence does not count.

A leader is by simplest definition someone who is in charge of a group of others in doing something. As a leader, one has to interact with others in the organization, and it is inevitable. This implies that your co-workers will have to be with you in your work, and they will learn all about you. Leadership itself is a process that is not achieved overnight. To ...

Although the concept of improving on teachers attention seems new to many policy makers, the discussion started as early as in 1860’s.

A survey taken in Great Britain may lend credence to the charge that learning history at the movies is not “a good thing.” The 2011 poll revealed that 20 percent of those surveyed believe Sherlock Holmes was a historical figure, while a substantial percentage is convinced that Che Guevara, Florence Nightingale and Jesse James were fictional (Daily Mail, 2011). If it is true that the film and entertainment industry has become so powerful that it has a measurably misleading effect on historical knowledge, then learning history at the movies would, if anything, appear to be detrimental.

Abstract

Given the importance of human resource economics to address labor utilization together with its implications for the greater economy, the accumulation of human capital is one of the major related topics. Human capital collection greatly drives the instrumental economic considerations such as unemployment, employment turnover, and the functions of both the labor unions and government policies. Unlike most of the resources that depreciate with time, investment in human capital increases in appreciation and continually exploits the available resources. Although it may consume time, it ensures effective use of qualities and skills while enhancing other resources. The human resource plays ...
