http://www.wired.com/business/2013/10/free-thinkers/all/ José Urbina López Primary School sits next to a dump just across the US border in Mexico. The school serves residents of Matamoros, a dusty, sunbaked city of 489,000 that is a flash point in the war on drugs. There are regular shoot-outs, and it's not uncommon for locals to find bodies scattered in the street in the morning. To get to the school, students walk along a white dirt road that parallels a fetid canal. On a recent morning there was a 1940s-era tractor, a decaying boat in a ditch, and a herd of goats nibbling gray strands of grass. A cinder-block barrier separates the school from a wasteland—the far end of which is a mound of trash that grew so big, it was finally closed down. On most days, a rotten smell drifts through the cement-walled classrooms. Some people here call the school un lugar de castigo—"a place of punishment." For 12-year-old Paloma Noyola Bueno, it was a bright spot. Mor

This is usually referred to in tandem with eigenvalues, eigenvectors and lots of numbers. So what’s going on? Is this just mathematical jargon to get the non-maths scholars to stop asking questions? Maybe, but it’s also a useful tool to use when you have to look at data. This post will give a very broad overview of PCA, describing eigenvectors and eigenvalues (which you need to know about to understand it) and showing how you can reduce the dimensions of data using PCA. As I said it’s a neat tool to use in i

http://www.bincangedukasi.com/masalahnya-adalah-sekolah.html Prof. Daniel Mohammad Rosyid Guru Besar Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember Penasehat Dewan Pendidikan Jawa Timur Banyak orang tidak mengira bahwa masalah yang paling serius dalam pendidikan Indonesia saat ini justru terlalu banyak sekolah. Masalah ini muncul saat kita mulai menyamakan pendidikan dengan persekolahan. Wajib belajar diartikan wajib sekolah.  Ada asumsi kuat bahwa semakin lama bersekolah pasti makin baik karena semakin terdidik. Oleh karena itu semakin banyak sekolah didirikan, dan  semakin banyak anggaran digelontorkan di sektor endidikan dengan harapan masyarakat akan semakin terdidik. Orang dengan gelar makin panjang berarti makin kompeten dan terdidik. Padahal yang semakin kita lihat di lapangan justru sebaliknya : tawuran pelajar dan antar-warga makin sering terjadi

Will it revitalize downtown airports? (Bombardier) Product launches are festive occasions, but it's rare to attend one so joyful that it moves the crowd to tears. And yet, a fleet of aviation honchos— Bombardier Inc. CEO Pierre Beaudoin, aerospace division CEO Guy Hachey, commercial aircraft president Mike Arcamone, Porter Airlines CEO Bob Deluce—all admitted that the takeoff last Sept. 16 of the first aircraft in Bombardier's new CSeries line of planes had them choked up. "My heartbeat was going quite fast as I watched," blubbered Hachey afterward, flashing a mile-wide, white-toothed smile. "I had lot of thoughts
