- African Athena: Black Athena 20 years on
-
Nov 6, 2008 - Nov 8, 2008,
University of Warwick Coventry, West Midlands United KingdomAfrican Athena was Bernal's original title for Black Athena, his 'infamous' work that has confronted the modern academy with some of the most challenging questions it has faced over the last twenty years. This interdisciplinary conference seeks neither to demonise nor lionise Bernal's book, but to open dialogue on the issues it has posed: can a myth of Afrocentrism ever be a useful narrative in contemporary culture? How do Africanising and classicising cultures interface and interpenetrate in the arts and lives of Africans, Europeans, Caribbeans and Americans? Does Black Athena offer new possibilities for comparison between African and Jewish diasporas, cultures and struggles? How do we deal with the difficult collusion of essentialist and poststructuralist discourses in 'postcolonial' thought? These issues are only a point of departure.

Nov 6, 2008 - Nov 7, 2008,
SF State Downtown Campus 835 Market St. San Francisco, California United States 94103ABOUT THIS SEMINAR:
Business metrics do a great job summarizing the past. But if you want to predict how customers will respond in the future, there is one place to turn--predictive analytics. By learning from your abundant historical data, predictive analytics provides the marketer something beyond standard business reports and sales forecasts: actionable predictions for each customer. These predictions encompass all channels, both online and off, foreseeing which customers will buy, click, respond, convert or cancel. If you predict it, you own it.
Predictive Analytics for Business, Marketing and Web is a concentrated training program that includes interactive breakout sessions and a brief hands-on exercise. In two days we cover:
• The techniques, tips and pointers you need in order to run a successful predictive analytics and data mining initiative
• How to strategically position and tactically deploy predictive analytics and data mining at your company
• How to bridge the prevalent gap between technical understanding and practical use
• How a predictive model works, how it's created and how much revenue it generates
• Several detailed case studies that demonstrate predictive analytics in action and make the concepts concrete
No background in statistics or modeling is required. The only specific knowledge assumed for this training program is moderate experience with Microsoft Excel or equivalent.
For more information, visit Predictive Analytics for Business and Marketing, or e-mail us at training@predictionimpact.com. You may also call (415) 683-1146.

- Regulatory Requirements for Personnel Training to Assure QSR and ISO Compliance
-
Nov 6, 2008 - Nov 6, 2008,
Training 2600 E. Bayshore Road Palo Alto, CA Palo Alto, California United States 94303Top management of a company is responsible for ensuring that all regulatory requirements are met. This concept is codified in both the QSR and ISO 13485. FDA officials have repeatedly stated that the management controls subsystem is the central subsystem because it is the "glue that holds the quality system together." Since it is individuals in top management that the FDA will typically seek to fine or prosecute in the event of major noncompliance, this session is key for those individuals who are members of top management, or those regulatory professionals who need to understand these requirements to assure top management is fulfilling its responsibilities. This session will discuss the requirements for Management Controls, including organizational structure, internal audits, establishment of a quality policy and confirmation it is being followed, establishment and contents of a quality system and quality plan, and of course all aspects of management reviews.

- China Steel 2008
-
Nov 6, 2008 - Nov 7, 2008,
The Westin Beijing Hotel, Beijing, Beijing (munic.) China2008 has seen steel, iron ore and coal prices hit an unprecedented high. Steel demand however, remains strong as many developing countries embark on expanding activities in their construction and infrastructure, shipbuilding and automotive industries. So, how will 2009 and 2010 shape up for steel?
Add the US-led credit crunch as well as a slowdown in American and EU markets and we have a situation that is not only interesting, but relevant to strategic planning at steel mills and the variety of allied industries that support steel.
This timely event is aptly held in China, as the world starts to wonder about economic performance, raw materials demand and the general state of the “post-Olympics” China. China, the world’s largest producer and consumer of steel, will also have an influential role on the global state of affairs as markets and prices as well as developments and opportunities surrounding steel and its raw materials will be evaluated to reveal the future and potential. This event will also give special focus to dry bulk shipping and port logistics which are instrumental in ensuring that steel (and the raw materials needed for steelmaking) is duly transported. - full details
