Employment Minister Jason Kenney said Friday he’s willing to consider “local exemptions” to his recent overhaul of the temporary foreign worker program. Kenney said he’ll consider changes in specific areas with very low levels of unemployment in regions with a higher level. But Kenney made it clear he won’t compromise on the core goal of his controversial overhaul to the program: Making sure employers don’t use it as a cheap source of labour when they could be hiring unemployed Canadians. “I did reiterate that these important changes are designed to ensure that Canadians always come first in our job market and that the temporary foreign worker program is only a last, limited and temporary resort,” Kenney said in Charlottetown after a meeting with provincial labour ministers. Kenney said that after listening to the concerns of the provinces and territories, he is taking the grievances seriously. – See more at: http://www.hrreporter.com/articleview/21737-kenney-to-consider-local-exemptions-to-tfw-program-after-provincial-complaints#sthash.HmmqMz7D.dpuf
The global breast imaging technologies market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 8.1% from 2014 to 2019. Although the mature markets (such as the U.S., Germany, and the U.K.) hold larger shares in the breast imaging technologies market, the Asia-Pacific region is expected to grow at the highest CAGR of 10.2% in the forecast period. The growth of the breast imaging technologies market is driven by factors such as public and private initiatives to increase awareness about early breast cancer screening, technological developments, growing demand for the use of minimal or negligible doses of radiation, and increasingly aging population.

If you’re like me and broke into a sweat when confronted with any kind of mandatory math or statistics courses in college, you’re in for a world of hurt now — a world where data reigns and making sense of it all is compulsory. Every day, the world’s data volume balloons by another 2.5 quintillion bytes, according to Eric Siegel, a former assistant professor at Columbia University and author of Predictive Analytics: The Power to Predict Who Will Click, Buy, Lie or Die. I should explain to all the English majors out there that a quintillion is a 1 with 18 zeroes after it. [Read More…]
