Frank & Stein Ventures with ILV

ILV aceptó renuncia de comercializador y busca un nuevo operador
que brinde garantías en ventas y mercadeo

La Gerencia de la Industria de Licores del Valle ILV, aceptó la renuncia presentada por la Unión Temporal UT Comercializadora Logística Integral SAS, presentada desde el 5 de septiembre de 2012.

Desde el año 2008, la UT Comercializadora Logística Integral
SAS, era la encargada de ejecutar el plan de distribución de la ILV, cuyo contrato se encontraba suspendido desde el 24 de agosto de 2012; acatando un fallo de la Contraloría General de la República.

La Gerencia de la ILV adelanta de acuerdo al artículo 9 de la
Ley 80 de contratación estatal, el cronograma para la liquidación del contrato de la comercializadora. Igualmente la Administración procederá a realizar la invitación directa para determinar el nuevo distribuidor de sus productos, proceso que tendrá acompañamiento de los organismos de control del Estado.

El Secretario General y Jurídico de la Industria de Licores
del Valle, Juan Pablo Restrepo, afirma que “se va iniciar un cronograma para la liquidación del contrato buscando salvaguardar los intereses de la Industria de Licores del Valle y el Departamento del Valle del Cauca. Se trabaja en los estudios de conveniencia y en los términos de referencia para el nuevo comercializador; que debe brindar todas las garantías de transparencia,
seriedad y cumplir con las metas que se establecerán de acuerdo al volumen del mercado”.

El Gerente de la Industria de Licores del Valle, Ingeniero
Víctor Julio González Riascos, asegura que este cambio ayudará a cumplir con el compromiso de ventas para el año 2012 y estima que para finales del mes de septiembre esté firmado el contrato con la nueva empresa comercializadora, con el firme propósito de afectar lo menos posible la venta del licor vallecaucano.

La búsqueda del nuevo distribuidor se realizará mediante
invitación directa, donde se permitirá la participación de todos los
interesados que cumplan con los requisitos para realizar la comercialización del Aguardiente Blanco con azúcar, Aguardiente Blanco sin azúcar, Aguardiente Origen y el Ron Márquez 5 y 8 años, hasta el año 2014.

proceso se podrá encontrar en la página web

Dear FIX,

There're two main parts
of this email.

First Part: Announcement 2:

We're on
Facebook:
http://www.facebook.com/mung.chiang.5
Or you can search for
"network20q@gmail.com" or for "Mung Chiang" (but pick the one that's for this
course, rather than the instructor's personal account).

Friend us (we'll
accept all requests) or Subscribe to us (we opened subscriber
mode).

We'll use Facebook for two things:
1. Post and share lighter
moments in the course (for homework/lecture help, coursera forum is the way to
go). Prior experience suggests that people talk about the course in different
ways on Facebook than on a course forum.
2. Organize local study groups
through Facebook group/events. As Mung (the instructor) goes on business trips,
he'll also try to schedule in-person meetings with local groups when the travel
schedule allows, to hear directly from you on thoughts about the course content
and the learning experience.

So we'll create Open Groups on Facebook,
starting tonight with a Washington DC group and a Boston group, as Mung will be
available to meet on Sept. 20 evening in Washington DC and on Sept. 24 in Boston
(assuming there's a reasonable number of you in those cities who are interested
and available to meet up). You can join those groups and indicate availability
for the event starting tonight.

Second Part: Clarifications (based on
your feedback):

A. Certificate: Princeton University's general policy on
coursera as of now is that it will not sign certificates. We will want to see
how you do in quizzes and homeworks and exams that will be provided on coursera.
And we will have two alternative mechanisms to reward the excellent students in
the course: Grand Challenge Homework and Kudos. More on these in later emails
this week.

B. Prerequisite: If you want to understand 100% of all the
lecture modules, you'll need linear algebra and multivariable calculus. If
you're OK with skipping the parts of the modules (usually module D or E in each
lecture) that assume these tools, you'll still get about 80% of the course
material (and coherence across lectures) without these prerequisites. In May
2013, we'll have a version of the course that only uses additions and
multiplications and nothing more.

C. YouTube video volume: Earphone or
speaker should work well. We'll adjust the volume soon too.

That's it for
this email.

We'll be shooting you one email every day this whole week,
leading up to the Sept. 17 launch. Each day we'll talk about a feature of the
course. Today's about Facebook groups. You'll see another feature in tomorrow's
announcement.

Talk to you then.

Coursera classes are back up
Dear
Students,

Today, GoDaddy (our domain registrar) suffered from a service
outage which resulted in millions of sites going down. Unfortunately,
www.coursera.org was one of those.

GoDaddy's servers are still
recovering, but we've since switched to using Amazon's domain name services
instead. Our site was down for a few hours in the transition period but
everything should be back to normal now, though you might encounter a few
residual issues as our domain name changes propagate through the
internet.

You can read more about the GoDaddy outage here.

We
apologize for the inconvenience. Thank you for bearing with us as we were
working to restore access!

Yours,
The Coursera team

Dear FIX,

Today's announcement is on a brand new feature I'm creating for Networks FMB:

Grand Challenge Homework: We'll throw in about 10 GCHs throughout the semester, each is an open-ended, important, and challenging project statement. Might be proving a theorem, might be creating a design, might be writing a piece of code, all about some of these 20 Questions. Associated with GCHs is

Investor and Industry Partners: In this IIP pilot program, I've talked to about 5 venture capital firms and 5 networking companies that are on the frontier of network technology innovation, and they've agreed to work with me on defining GCHs and then (after I skype the semi-finalists) talk to the finalists about their solutions to GCHs. They may fly in the finalists for an interview. This may lead to a new job, a new product, or a new company.

Here're the VCs (two in Silicon Valley, two on East Coast) in IIP with this course:
Artiman Ventures,
Hudson Ventures,
Osage Partners,
USVP.

And companies:
ASSIA Inc. (startup founded by John Cioffi, the father of DSL),
Alcatel-Lucent Bell Labs,
AppliedCommunication Sciences (part of the former Telcordia/Bellcore),
HP Labs,
Qualcomm.

A couple of more soon to be confirmed.

Think of it this way: you have access to education material now, with GCH and IIP you'll have access to career-changing opportunities.

But this is also demanding (and entirely optional): I don't expect more than 100 serious GCH submissions, or more than 20 semi-finalists. But if you're interested and you pour yourself into it, you'll find it very rewarding.

Now what about the other 37900 students enrolled in the course who do well, write great blogs, help others with questions, etc? We'll soon announce a virtual reward system geared towards them.

That's it for this email.

We'll be shooting you one email every day this whole week, leading up to the Sept. 17 launch. Each day we'll talk about a feature of the course. Today's about GCH/IIP. You'll see another feature in tomorrow's announcement.

Talk to you then.
