Is Rental Property Ownership Right for You?
In this new spring course offering, "Buying and Managing Rental Properties," students will learn if investing in real estate by becoming a landlord is right for them. The Newton Community Education class will take place Monday, April 23, from 6-9 p.m. at Newton North High School.
Award-winning real estate pro, landlord and veteran educator Marie Presti will teach students what to look for in a property, how to compare and analyze them; and whether or not to hire a property manager. The class will review a landlord's rights and responsibilities, and cover the differences between renting out part of your owner-occupied property, as well as leasing out a property you don't live in, whether it's a single-family, multi-family or condo. Presti, who rents out a two-family home in Newton Corner, will also share her own experiences with property management.

Are land-based farms the salmon industry's answer to shale oil?
Are land-based farms the salmon industry's answer to shale oil?
The Norwegian Parliament can lift land-based salmon from a supplementary business to a competitor to Norwegian farmed salmon.
The other day I talked to a farmer who raised this problem.
"Are RAS plants not unlike like shale gas?" he asked, adding that there are plans (though not all will necessarily happen) to produce 300,000 tonnes of salmon on land globally.
300,000 tonnes represent 12-13 per cent of the expected world production of farmed salmon in 2019.
"We are Saudi Arabia," added the farmer.
Is this a relevant parallel? Will land-based salmon become a game changer and a watershed in line with what we have seen from shale oil in the oil market?
Shale oil is described as the biggest surprise in oil history. This has meant that the USA has, within a few years, gone from being the world's largest importer of oil to becoming a net exporter of oil. Of the US' oil production of 9.9 million barrels per day, half comes from shale oil.
The extraction takes place with a process called fracking, which pumps sand, water and chemicals into the ground at high pressure to crack up the shale and release oil and gas which can then be extracted.
It was the radical production increase of shale oil, not the "green shift", which plummeted price of oil in 2014.
Now back to the salmon.
At present, a number of land-based salmon farms are being built or planned, in areas that have not previously engaged in salmon farming. The US is at the forefront of this, with half of the world's production being planned here. But that is also natural. By producing salmon in overseas countries, which today are dependent on airborne salmon imports, farmers can sell salmon with a price mark-up corresponding to the air freight costs. This has given considerable interest to land-based salmon in the Far East, especially China and Japan, but also South Africa, Russia and the Middle East. Also, a number of countries in Europe are planning factory production of salmon.
The comparison to shale oil is not so distant.
Fracking is, in the same way as land-based farming, an expensive way to produce an in-demand raw material. This can be justified by the fact that the underlying global supply growth has levelled off and has thus established high commodity prices. But high production costs mean that it first and foremost becomes supplementary, and not a direct competitor, to conventional production. In a low price scenario, fracking will not be competitive. Although last year's price decline for oil has shown that fracking has been more robust than the preliminary tips might indicate.
SalMar's main shareholder Gustav Witzøe recently aired his frustration and concern for this. He said that he feared that land-based fish farms might skim the cream of the growth of salmon demand, advocating increased production and halving the salmon price to keep new competitors away from the dish. Witzøe's solution is a radical increase in Norwegian salmon production, but it is, politically speaking, completely unrealistic.
It is true, as the previously mentioned farmer pointed out, salmon farms in open pens in Norwegian, Chilean or Faroese waters, are like Saudi Arabia – in the sense that it can produce raw material cheaper than anyone else. In Saudi Arabia, oil is stored and easily accessible just below the surface of the desert sand. In open cages in perfectly temperate and clean seawater, salmon thrive best – and production costs are the lowest.
The joker card which can compensate for this cost advantage is the Storting, the Parliament of Norway.
That's because as politicians currently discussing how they can tax the fish farming industry by means of resource rent, this inexorably lifts market leader Norway out of the seat of Saudi Arabia – to move far offshore. Production costs for Norwegian salmon will increase, and at the same time, competitiveness will weaken accordingly.
In this sense, land-based aquaculture facilities in the not-so-distant future can go from being a supplementary business to becoming a real competitor for Norwegian fish farmers.


They saved me a lot of time by writing urgent papers I had. It is very stressful when you need to write a lot of papers and have only a few days for them. I never loved writing, but they made writing for me easier.
The team from NY answered my every question and I have used their essays as examples of my works. If you are looking for properly written and formatted paper you are at the right place, trust college essay writers and you will definitely get the best from them! I am active in college life and attending numerous classes. Recently I have joined a college political community and the LA newspaper.
I have no time for all tasks I have. So I have asked my friend from Dallas what I can do to get all my papers written in time. He proposed me to order from college essay writers online. I gave them a try and now not important for my specialty papers I am ordering from them.
Even urgent papers from their team are of the best quality and affordable. Thank you for your job! My story started during the last term, I had a couple of essays and was not able to find information to use either online or in the library. My topic was not very complex, but teacher requested to use five trusted sources for each, and I have only found three. So I decided to pay for the work. I had more than a dozen of papers to write during a week and no idea where to start.
I started to search online WHO can do this for me and found this cool essay writing service with main office in New York. I have ordered three essays from them and in two days got them done. The essays were well-written without mistakes and typos. They were even better than I have expected from so affordable writing service. All my friends who hate writing are also ordering from these guys! I love reading, but when it started I thought it is very complex for me.
I wanted to quit, but my friend said that he found a cool college essay writing service who for the low price can deliver any type of paper. So I have placed an order and in a week have got my very first paper from them. It was really cool! So when I have time I am ordering from this team and they never ever cheated.
I have the highest grades in my class, and probably in all Chicago, and very satisfied with the papers they deliver. They are helping to save my time and give me all I need for the success. I am always getting papers on time and they have no grammar, spelling or punctuation errors.
Some of my papers from this team are deeply researched and sources they used are the best. If you are looking for college essay writer, try to work with these people.
Our main focus is to produce the best papers for students of all academic levels and ease the educational experience. With the help of our high-quality writing services, you are finally able to deliver every paper without the frustrations and headaches. Whether you are a high school, college or university student, you will certainly need help at some point during your education.
The reason for this is the huge number of complicated tasks of various types that require plenty of time and skills. When I became part of the team for Rush Essay , I thought we would be writing academic content for students with below-average capacity. I was in for a surprise. I was convinced that students who got into Harvard, Berkeley, Oxford, Cambridge, and other prestigious US and UK universities would work much harder than the ones admitted to "secondary" schools.
Since the charges for plagiarism are serious, they have to rely on essay writing services as a solution that provides unique content by the given deadline. The essay writing industry is a source of interesting statistical data.
California, New York and Texas are the most popular regions where orders were coming from. A student who hopes to graduate from one of these universities usually needs to rely on "unorthodox" methods to deal with all challenges imposed by the professors. Since academic writing is becoming one of the most prominent aspects of the educational system, the constant development of the custom-writing industry is clearly justified. The most popular types of content requested from custom-writing services are essays, research papers, and MA thesis.

Philip Foster
philip foster, 54, voice coach, london
A few years ago, former West End star Roni Page came to Philip Foster with a problem. At 68, the soprano hadn't worked in years and had been rejected by the top theater agents in London when she attempted a comeback. So Page turned to Foster, a voice coach and talent manager who had worked with her when he first broke into theater in 1985.
He had one condition: " 'If you come into the studio and really work on your soprano and we get it better than ever, then I'll take you on. Because I think you're just starting,' " Foster recalled.
A traumatic experience of molestation in the church as a child created in Philip the overwhelming desire to reclaim his voice. And not just in the speaking or singing sense.
"Our voice is held in the muscles of our body," he told me. "The audible vibration of us is where we are. I was vibrating in the place of silence and trauma. My voice was locked in that experience at the age of 10 years."
So for the past 40 plus years, Foster has undergone the process of unlocking his voice and sharing that method with everyone from top West End performers, to international actors and models, to those seeking the same form of catharsis.
"It is my mission in life to bring awareness to the importance of having a voice and not living in a society in fear and silence," he says.
Philip Foster for AGEIST
I caught up with Foster in London where we did his photo shoot. But our interview took place over Skype, with him seated at a piano he would play on occasion to illustrate a point or an anecdote. Foster says he's been a natural at the piano since before he began lessons as a child.
The instrument would serve an important role in helping him overcome his early experience of abuse — and he courageously came forward this year in a lawsuit aimed at the church that took advantage of him and other boys. And when he started working in theater in London in his twenties, he found the ability to help singers find their voice came naturally as well.
Foster's method is something he calls "vocal vibration," which aims to unlock the primal voice, the vibration, with which all of us are born and which for all of us is unique.
"What I am doing is not teaching you anything when you come into the studio. I'm allowing you to remember what you already know and what you have forgotten," he says. "How can I teach you your voice? Think about it. It's already there."
So getting back to the story of Page. After a few months working together, she scored a major role in the revival of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory in London's West End. The process wasn't easy, of course. And in his work with Page there are lessons for all of us.
"The body has to work to create sound," he says. "It's like being an athlete. Like, 'I'm 68 and I'm going to run my first marathon.' It's as physical as that. It's about being totally engaged."
The key is work and work and work. And that we're not too old to keep understanding that we need to develop and adapt. For motivation, Foster reminds me to keep the focus on self, not on outside perception.
"People say the voice gets worse [as we get older]. No it doesn't; people get lazier. It's hard because we're fighting the imprint of society. But if you truly find your voice, it opens the world of possibility, full stop," he says. "I think laziness is when we start working in recognition of what others want us to be, rather than being who we want to be and who we are."

Glaucoma is the leading causes of irreversible blindness worldwide. In India alone, it affects around 12 million people; India is projected to become the world capital of glaucoma by 2020. The sight loss caused by glaucoma is progressive and, unlike cataract, is irreversible. Fortunately, early diagnosis and treatment can prevent blindness.Glaucoma is a disease of the nerve for vision (optic nerve) caused by increased pressure in the eye.95% patients with glaucoma do not have any symptoms. Glaucoma is a silent disease that cannot be detected or felt by the patient since central vision remains unaffected till the late stages of the disease. Hence it is rightly called as the 'sneak thief of sight'. It is usually detected during a routine eye checkup.
Open angle & angle closure glaucoma are the common forms of the disease. The treatment of Glaucoma depends on the severity of the disease and early detection of the disease. Rarely there can be acute rise in intraocular pressure resulting in emergency. Laser treatment to reduce the intra ocular pressure. Glaucoma can be treated & controlled but cannot be cured completely and if not treated can result in blindness.
Who are at the risks of developing glaucoma?
Patients with chronic eye diseases.
Glaucoma management includes careful clinical evaluation assisted with advanced imaging devices and visual field analyzers. Treatment includes medical (eye drops), Laser and surgical intervention. This treatment depends on the stage of the disease at the time of diagnosis. Appropriate and early detection can avoid blindness. Trabaculectomy is the most commonly performed surgery for glaucoma. YAG Laser iridotomy helps in treating angle closure glaucoma. The final action of treatment is to allow the patient to lead an independent and fully functional lifestyle.
The technique of measurement of pressure within the eye (intra ocular pressure IOP/IOT) is called tonometry. This is very important since IOP is one of the indicators of Glaucoma. Tonometry is recommended in everyone over the age of 40, family history of glaucoma. This technique can be performed with either Applanation or non-contact Tonometer.
Ophthalmoscopy is used to examine the inside of the eye, especially the optic nerve this helps the doctor to assess the condition of the optic nerve.
During this test, you will be asked to look straight ahead and then indicate when a stationary light appears in the field of vision. This helps draw a "map" of your field of vision. This is a non invasive computerized test which takes about 10-20 minutes to perform and gives information regarding optic nerve damage due to glaucoma.
During the tests a detailed photo of the Optic Nerve is taken and documented. This helps in assessing the progress of the disease.
Optical coherence tomography is a new, noninvasive, noncontact, imaging technology capable of early detection of glaucoma through its ability to evaluate the nerve cells damaged in glaucoma.
Yag laser iridotomy is performed almost exclusively for patients with narrow angle glaucoma, or acute angle closure glaucoma. Yag laser iridotomy involves making a tiny opening in the iris with a laser, which allows fluid to drain freely. The laser peripheral iridotomy procedure is usually completed as a brief outpatient procedure. Prior to the procedure, the pupil is often constricted with an eye drop medication known as pilocarpine. The procedure itself is completed with the patient seated at the laser, and requires no sedation. Usually, a lens is placed on the eye after topical anesthetic drops are applied to better control the laser beam. The entire procedure only takes a few minutes. The lens is then removed from the eye and vision will quickly return to normal. After the procedure, your eye surgeon may recommended anti-inflammatory eye drop medications for the next few days. A post-op visit will be scheduled.
When glaucoma continues to progress despite the use of medication regimens and possibly laser treatments, a glaucoma filtration procedure (Trabaculectomy) may be recommended. The goal of the glaucoma filtration procedure is to create a new passageway by which aqueous fluid from inside the eye can escape, thereby lowering the pressure.

The left can't seem to make up its mind. Is President Trump a tool of Putin or an anti-Russia cold warrior?
I say he's neither. Instead, I think Trump is slowly recognizing, as President Obama never seemed to, that Russia and China are waging a Cold War against us, and is beginning to respond accordingly.

The United States Navy's Seventh Fleet is entering a tough period of scrutiny following two high profile and deadly warship collisions, a vessel running aground, and a less publicized collision all within a year.

As the Asia-Pacific region remains a major center of geopolitical tension for the U.S, the Navy must solve these issues or find itself facing real crises with significantly degraded capacity.

Cavaliers vs. Heat live stream info, TV channel: How to watch NBA on TV, stream online
Steph Curry comes up clutch in dramatic win vs. Pacers, just short of 3-point record
NBA Finals 2018: LeBron James shows he's human in Game 2, and that's just not good enough for these Cavs
Lunes 04 de Junio del 2018
LeBron's stat line was incredible Sunday night, but he needs to be transcendent to even threaten the Warriors
OAKLAND, Calif. -- Though his exoskeleton during Sunday's Game 2 might have provided evidence to the contrary, LeBron James is not a machine.
James carried the perfect anatomy to complement the cyborg persona he's embodied during this 2018 postseason run, sporting a Terminator-esque, blood-red left eye all evening, the product of a Draymond Green poke to the face in Game 1. But on this night, it was clear from the beginning of Golden State's 122-103 Game 2 win that LeBron is just a man -- a very tired man.
Before the game, Warriors coach Steve Kerr refused to reveal his revised strategy following James' 51-point Game 1 assault that nearly stole home-court advantage for the Cavaliers, but it didn't take a Rhodes Scholar to figure it out. They came out much more aggressive, throwing double-teams at him and trying to force the ball out of his hands to make someone else beat them.
It worked.
"I thought we at least made him somewhat uncomfortable at times," Kerr said after the game. "I mean, just, you've got to do your best. You've got to pressure him. You've got to know he's going to end up with 30 points and a triple-double and all that stuff because he's that good. But we just made things a little more difficult for him tonight."
Just a reminder about the Marvel universe in which LeBron James currently operates: He had 29 points, 13 assists and nine rebounds, and the opposing coach is talking about how difficult they made things for him. But that's the deal with LeBron in this series -- he can't simply be great. He has to be transcendent to give the Cavs even the slightest chance of achieving one of the biggest upsets in sports history. After all, his near-perfect Game 1 still wasn't enough.
By the second quarter of Game 2, it was clear that he wasn't going to drop another 50-piece at Oracle. James was 2-for-7 in that quarter, and missed four shots in the paint -- shots that made everyone in the arena do a double-take when they didn't go in.
We've been spoiled by LeBron's ability to finish through traffic over the course of his career, but on Sunday he looked, well, human. His passes lacked their usual zip and were deflected regularly, making it difficult for Cleveland to get into any sort of flow offensively.
LeBron's teammates and coaches continue to insist that their superstar just doesn't get tired -- George Hill called him "a machine" after Game 2 -- but it took just one glance at James to know that his battery wasn't fully charged on Sunday.

Of course, there's no way James would ever admit to weakness -- that's a human ailment. He needs to convince his teammates, even himself, that he is indeed a cybernetic organism programmed to ensure Cleveland's survival.
"I think I only got tired once tonight," James said after the game. "So, I mean, they doubled me a few times when I caught the ball in the post, something they didn't do in Game 1. So I got off the ball, trusted my teammates. But as far as working harder, I think I got tired once."
Even if we take LeBron at his word, that he wasn't tired, it was because he was conserving energy on both ends of the floor throughout the game. He picked and chose his spots, but was largely happy to take the Warriors double-teams and make the on-time, on-target pass to his teammates.
But as they've proven repeatedly in these playoffs, his teammates simply cannot be relied upon. Outside of a brief stint from Hill in the first half and a strong third quarter from Kevin Love, the supporting cast once again stayed behind the curtain. The Cavs shot 41 percent from the field, and were 9-of-27 from the 3-point line -- a mark that becomes laughable when you realize that Stephen Curry made a Finals record nine 3-pointers by himself in 10 fewer attempts.
It all underscored the fact that LeBron just can't have an off game -- even if it would be a spectacular game for any normal basketball player. He has to go to the rim with ferocity, make step-back 3s and impose himself physically on pretty much every single play. But that's no easy task against the vaunted Warriors defense ... in your 102nd game of the season.
On one possession you're guarded by Green, arguably the best defender in the league when engaged (and he's ALWAYS engaged when he's guarding LeBron). On the next possession it's Kevin Durant, a 7-footer with the wingspan of a 747 and a renewed defensive focus. Then if you get past them you have the quick hands of Curry and Klay Thompson poking at the ball, not to mention another athletic 7-footer, JaVale McGee, or a punishing vet sure to deliver a forearm shiver, David West, waiting for you at the rim. Oh yeah, and this team is still missing Andre Iguodala.
All this to say, LeBron faces a monumental task. It's only natural for him to get fatigued, to defer to his teammates with the desperate hope that this time they might actually do their jobs. But that's not going to happen. In Game 3, LeBron needs to play with force from the beginning and never relent. He needs to score 40, 50 -- maybe even 60 -- and do it in a punishing way.
It's a lot to ask from the most finely tuned machine, even more to ask from a tired, frustrated man.

Ken Robinson: Okay. Well, I'm Ken Robinson. I'm a writer, a consultant now and a speaker on issues of education and innovation. I work a lot with education organizations. I work with corporate organizations around the world and I work with cultural organizations. And my big interest is in how you cultivate creativity and why you need to do that. I now live in Los Angeles, but work pretty much internationally around Europe, Asia and the States.
DK: Brilliant. Well, welcome, Ken. Thanks for giving up your time to speak to MediaSnackers. I was to ask you straight away a question which you've already touched upon about this cultivation of creativity. How can people do this and more importantly, why must they do this now?
Ken Robinson: Well, I think it's vital that we cultivate creativity for various reasons. The principal one is the world is changing so quickly and so unpredictably, that for all of us were to make any sense of it and to engage in it properly in any way, we have to be firing in all cylinders. You know, we have to not only be open to change, but be willing to respond to it, to contribute to it and to be flexible and adaptable to it.
So, I think that a lot of people, in my experience really a vast majority of people, think they're not creative. They think they aren't able to think of new ideas in a very flexible way and that they think other people are creative, but they're not. And my big mission, I suppose, is to convince people that everybody has profound creative abilities. The problem is for them to identify quite what they are and to know how to develop them. So, I work a lot with education systems on those issues and also with corporations.
DK: Brilliant. And you touched on then how the world has changed and, as you know, that's the first line of MediaSnackers and we added on that there's no t turning back you know, you've got to get with the program almost. And that sums it up. But what one piece of advice, then, would you give to a room of leaders or educators that you want them to take away, and why is that important?
Ken Robinson: Well, I think that we are living in times which are genuinely revolutionary. And what that means is, many things that people think are obvious and take for granted, may not be true. They may seem obvious, but they may not be true. In the middle ages, people took it absolutely for granted that the sun revolved around the Earth. They thought that was a completely obvious piece of common sense information. They could see it happening every day.
You know, they got up. They looked up in the sky and there it was rising and then falling. It was obvious the sun was moving and obvious that they weren't. You know, they weren't being flung off the planet. You know, as this thing spun out of control. It was actually common sense and it may have been common sense, but it wasn't true. You could understand that with special information that the Earth was revolving around the sun. So, things that seem obvious often aren't true.
And I think if you work in education, people often base their planning on assumptions they think are still true because they were true when they were younger. So, part of my advice to people always is, talk to young people properly. Try and understand the world they're really living in because it's a world that's quite different, I think, from the one that any of us over 30. I'm a good bit over 30, I'm 57.
but anybody who's really over thirty, grew up in a different world to the one that our kids are in. In some ways, the world they live in looks like ours. I don't mean it's completely and utterly different, but the big difference is their relationship with technology and particularly, their relationship with online communities; with networking, with generating content and socializing in that way. And I think a lot of adults look at the way kids are with computers and think that their relationship to computers is the sort of relationship we had with television when we were kids. You know, they were just sitting passively, taking all this stuff in. And the reality, I think, is much more that kids are being very active and productive and often very creative in the use of these technologies. But somebody described it recently as that these new technologies are the biggest generation gaps since rock and roll and I think that's true. I think a lot of people over 30, over 40, think they know what these technologies are in as far as our kid's cultural lives, but I don't think we really do without speaking to them and hearing them.
DK: And it's interesting you touch on that talk to kids properly, I think you said. What form would that take then? You know, I've done a lot of consultations in my kind of history and past and we talked briefly before I recorded this about that. But what do you mean by "talk to kids properly? "
Ken Robinson: Well, I think that there's a tendency to see new things in terms of old frameworks of ideas and traditionally, take education as a case in point. When we were growing up and going to school, school is where you found stuff out. You know, it's actually the primary way in which you found things out. I mean outside the immediate family or the immediate neighborhood, it was the sort of education that you got connected and teachers were at their best, you know, and libraries, these are the source of knowledge and information and ideas and they acted as kind of curators. They were there to give you access to all this stuff.
Well, now, kids have immense access to enormous amounts of information. They're often much more nimble with the technologies than their teachers. They don't have a problem getting hold of information. I think what they need more perhaps now, is mentoring about you know, how to make sense of this, how to act critically with it, how to form judgments and evolve values in relationship with these things that are coming at them so fast. So, I mean, literally, I think rather than teachers seeing themselves as the people who know and are the primary source of knowledge and their job as being to transmit this. I think teachers should be seen much more as kind of enablers, as facilitators or as mentors. And that does mean, if you're mentoring anybody, you have to listen carefully, not just to the words they're using, but what they're fundamentally trying to say to you.
And at case in point, it seems to me, is that we get people and [inaudible]. I don't know where you put the line really, but over 30, I guess, would work. You know, people anyway didn't grow up with all this technology get into moral panics about kids pulling all their information out on MySpace you know or on Facebook you know, because there's this image that the world is full of predators who are there trying to prey on them. Well, you know, there are predators out there. There always were and there are dangers; there always were. but our kids have a different attitude to it. You know, they don't see the problem giving out personal information like this. I don't mean their home address and their number, you know, but they're you know, their worries and their concerns, publishing their diaries online, showing photographs online. And it's an example I think of where we come to meet them with our own preconceptions and they have a complete different framework and wonder what it is quite that we're worried about.
DK: Yeah, we –
Ken Robinson: I don't mean to say that they're completely right and that we're completely wrong. I mean, adults do have something to offer a little bit. But there's a dialog to be had and I just, that's all I mean. I think we have to listen hard because they have things to teach us that we don't know about.
DK: Yeah, and we take the view at MediaSnackers you know, all the things that are happening now, it's very empowering for young people. Like, what other point in any generation ever in the history of the world, could young people have a global voice instantly and share their creativity instantly? No. None. And that's a cool thing, surely, that's a good thing. And you know, educational and all the other institutions to follow it should be reflecting that and that's kind of – because we shared a stage in Portland recently, I know you keynoted the Reshape School Summit, which is just a great flavor, reshaping a school. I love that and one of our mantras that we were putting out there was education must be reflective of young people, what they're doing. You know what I mean? And that's the utilization of new media and technology, and you did bring up in one of your keynotes there the kind of issue of digital natives versus digital immigrants. And are opportunities really being missed here or is it just something that you know, that's always going to happen? Young kids are always going to be with a disconnect with their parents or older generation?
Ken Robinson: Yeah. I mean, there's always been a disconnect. I mean, I had a big disconnect with my father. I mean, I don't mean in a bad way. I mean, we were really close. He was a fantastic guy. You know, but he was born in 1914 and you know, he lived through world wars, one as a kid and one as an adult, and then in the 1950's, I was born in 1950 and rock and roll happened. And that was our big generation gap. You know, my father's generation looked at us with you know, successfully rock and roll and then hippies and just wondered what in the hell we were up to and what was going on. I mean, they loved us, but they couldn't follow us down that route. You know, and that's not been the case with me and my kids. I mean, my kids are 18 and 22 and they're as big into all the music I was into as I was at the time. You know, they're into The Stones, The Beatles, Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, as well as all the stuff they're also into that I know nothing about.
So, we don't have that kind of cultural divide. I think I'm not unusual in that many people of my age and generation are kind of Boomers, show a lot of interest in our kids and I think in many ways we're closer and more open to them culturally than our parent were to us. But when you come to digital technology, they're on a different planet. You know, they live online in a way that people of my generation mainly don't. I don't mean none of us do, but mainly we don't. We use it as a facility, but we don't use it as our everyday form of conversation and networking.
There was a great little story I came across. It's not a funny story. It's just a right story, I think. I can't remember quite where it came from, but it's about you know, an old fish swimming along the river and as it swims along it passes two young fish going in the opposite direction, and tells them, "Good morning, boys. How's the water? " And they smile at him and swim on and they get a bit further down and this young fish turns to the other one and says, "What's water? " In hindsight because – and anyway, it's what you say to our kids. You know, "How are you getting along with technology? " I think, "How'd you mean? " And this is just the stuff they do; this is oxygen, this is water to them. They don't even know they're doing it. So, it is a big generation gap.
We're slightly, I think, it's smart presenting which is digital natives, digital immigrants, with a lot of us, not all of us, predominantly though I think we speak digital as a second language and I think our kids speak it as a mother tongue. So, you know, there is that kind of divide and I think we just have to try and look across it. I don't mean to say that they've evolved into a completely different species; they haven't. but one of the things that does strike me is that our kids have a very creative relationship with the technology and it has broken down a lot of the old distinctions that we grew up with like production and consumption. They aren't just consuming this stuff; they're feeding it back, they're remixing it. They're using it as a form of expression.
And I think one of the big things is for me in education is this is it almost has coincided interestingly to me with what people consider to be a kind of epidemic of for example, attention deficit disorder. I find this absolutely exasperating. I don't know how true it is now in the U.K. but it's definitely true in America that a huge number of kids are being sedated with these ADHD drugs like Ritalin and Adderall to get them focused. Now, what strikes me about this is that our kids are growing up in one of the most intensively stimulating visual environments in the history of the Earth. You know, they have an instant contact with anybody else on the planet pretty much who has access to a computer. They're being besieged with information from every platform, from televisions, iPods, handheld computers, from television screens, cinemas, recordings; everything is clamoring to get messages across to them. And in the middle of all this, we're accusing them of getting distracted. Then we medicate them because they're getting distracted. From what? Boring stuff.
In the middle of all this, you have education. Particularly it's true here in America now, not keeping up with this, but standing (inaudible) and trying to prevent it. You know, so our kids are being increasingly subjected to narrower educational experiences in schools, standardized testing, more and more pressure to conform, at a time when every other system in the culture is telling them to be individual and to diverge and to be open. So, I think there is a real problem here of how formal education is meshing with the way the culture is moving. And I don't mean to say we should just all jump on the bandwagon but there are issues here of cultural knowledge and cultural production, which we need to engage with and it isn't just to go along with it. I think out kids need critical tools, they need to know how to make sense of all of this stuff. But in the meantime, you know, our education systems which tend to be in the control of in Mark Prensky sense, digital immigrants are risking trying to be kind of in denial about this. So, I think part of what we have to do is look seriously at how we can use these technologies as a positive educational medium. You know, we don't want to keep saying to kids, you know, "If you don't go and sit on that computer, you're not going to have your dinner." They go on their computers. They are compelled to go to the computers.
DK: Of course.
Ken Robinson: And it's not because they find them tedious, it's because they find them fascinating. And I think that's a message to us about how we should start to rethink some of our process of education rather than seeing these things as distracting forces that are irrelevant to education. I think we have to engage them really fully and properly and I don't think we'll have learned how to do that yet. That's one of the reasons we should talk to our kids.
DK: I totally agree and you know, young people today are creators, producers, and participants and in terms of youth work, I come from a youth work background, that's what we strive to make kids or create opportunities to get them there. They're there now and there is an issue about online oxygen, but the noise to signal ratio as well, but technology just augments what they are doing or what we can do with it as well. It's not a, you know, it's not a bandage and it's not something to fear as well. It's just something else to do and to make it quicker, faster, easier, sexier, whatever. But I want to ask you one more question to wrap up this interview. And I'd love to ask you what your vision of the future will be like for them in terms of if you had your way, so to speak; and be idealist as you want here, and you can create your utopia or vision of the future. In terms of education, and new media and technology, what would it be?
Ken Robinson: In relation to education?
DK: Yes.
Ken Robinson: Well, my guess is that we'll always have something like schools. You know, buildings where people go because I do think that one of the downsides of the technology is that it reduces the amount of time people spend face to face. And there are inestimable advantages and benefits from working with people in the same room, in the same space, looking into their eyes and feeling present with people. And you know, for all the benefits I can see in technology, there are certainly ways in which we're completely unsure of the long term effects on people's social abilities, social skills and all that bind communities together. You know, we just don't know what these long term effects are if they're there at all.
So, I don't envision a future for myself where we never have schools and buildings and teachers in them, but I think they'll be completely transformed as they should be. At the moment, we tend to think of schools as almost like factories, as a separate facility where people are sent off you know, to be educated. And it's a pretty close community ordinarily. So, in terms of education, I envision a future in which we have a much more broadly based curriculum that we have now. One which is much more evolutionary and open to new ideas and influences than we tend to have now. Curriculum in a form of teaching which is infused with technology because the thing is, these technologies that we're so impressed by at the moment, are still primitive. I mean, five years down the line, ten years down the line from now, we'll look back at all these things that we think are so groovy and we'll think they're just like old steam radios.
You know, this technology is getting more and more pervasive and more and more sophisticated and sensitive. So, it's going to have a completely transformed us, I think on the culture and therefore, on how we actually educate them and how we should educate them. So, I can see a much broader more open type of curriculum. I think we'll move beyond the point where we think that education is something that mainly happens to kids and we'll see it as a lifelong resort. It's beginning to happen, but I think we should start seeing education, not as a privilege, but as kind of a utility. You know, where people just drop in, find out the stuff they need, connect with people. So, it's a much more open source in its way or working. And I want to see, myself, much closer connections between you know, education institutions and processes and cultural centers in communities.
DK: Okay. Yeah.
Ken Robinson: And also I think a much more dynamic relationship with business than we have just now.
DK: Definitely. Okay. Well, I just want to say thank you for giving up your time, Ken. It's been a pleasure speaking to you and thanks for speaking to MediaSnackers.
Ken Robinson: Oh. It's a pleasure. Thanks very much.

January 19, 2018 Being Tusshar Dhaliwal, Latest News, Mrs India Universe 2017
"My achievements are reflection of my dreams,
My dreams encourage me to rise,
To rise high even from the ashes,
These ashes are my experiences, my self-taught lessons,
Lessons that have turned me into a compassionate & conscious being and
Compassion and consciousness are my wings that enable me to fly high" – Anisha Safaya
Anisha Safaya has been crowned as Mrs India Universe 2017 just a month ago. Earlier, she acclaimed two of the most important sub titles in the world of beauty pageants, Mrs. Catwalk in Mrs. India Universe 2017 and in Mrs. India UK 2017. Anisha is highly thankful to the organisers of Mrs. India Universe 2017, Mr. Tusshar Dhaliwal & Mrs. Archana Tomer for providing a worldwide platform to married women like her & an opportunity to compete at an international level enabling them to re-live their passion and dreams.
A proud daughter, a wife, a friend and a dedicated colleague; Anisha's story of success from a staunch banker as Vice President of one of the world's leading investment banks to Mrs. India Universe 2017 has been a rollercoaster ride, yet she fought back and kept moving, head held high, making a place for herself. She believes,"We grow, we evolve to the best version of us and reach to the stage where life stops its wrath on us, takes a break & smiles back. At that point, we are no less than that piece of gold whose purity has been tested by rubbing, cutting, heating and pounding."

Company Set Up Options
Ireland offers a range of company forms for all types and sizes of business. There are four main forms, each with different share capital and management requirements. These include:
Private Limited Company (Ltd)
Public Limited Company (PLC)
The overall regulatory environment in Ireland is relaxed, with streamlined procedures making company formation and operation easy. A single body, the Irish Financial Services Regulatory Authority, regulates all financial controls and there are no general restrictions to foreign ownership. There are also no limitations on the repatriation of capital and dividends, and the extensive network of bilateral tax treaties that Ireland has worldwide prevents double taxation
Banking Facilities and Financial Incentives
There is full provision of banking facilities in Ireland. All the major international banks are represented, with availability of commercial lending and foreign exchange facilities. Corporate entities can also make use of foreign exchange and hedging. A local Irish bank account is required during incorporation.
Ireland is incredibly generous in terms of financial incentives, with a huge range available for all types of new businesses. The main incentive is the Corporate Tax exemption until 2014 for start-up companies in Ireland, and a reduced rate of 12.5% in general. There are also employment and training grants to promote job creation, Research and Development grants, and capital grants provided to help with the cost of land, buildings, plant and equipment.
The economic boom Ireland experienced has significantly reduced the national unemployment rate, making recruitment of workers difficult for new companies. The available workforce, however, is well educated and skilled. The Irish recruitment sector also remains strong, so working with a local agency when hiring workers will help you find the best people for your business.

European Parliament Round Table Hosted by Norica Nicolai MEP on the Reform of the Law and Justice System in Romania with Daniel Dragomir
IFBG
The European Commission has been urged to do more to tackle "very serious" judicial irregularities in Romania, writes Martin Banks.
A hearing in Brussels on Wednesday heard that these include "mass surveillance" of the Romanian population, collusion between the secret services and the judiciary and blackmailing of judges.
The demand comes just ahead of the Commission's latest Cooperation and Verification Mechanism (CVM) on Romania.
This is the annual "health check" on the state of justice and the rule of law in Romania, which is due to assume the presidency of the EU on 1 January 2019.
The hearing, at the European Parliament and hosted by Romanian ALDE MEP Norica Nicolai, is particularly timely with the European Parliament expected to vote on a resolution on the issue at its plenary in Strasbourg in just over a week.
One of the guest speakers, human rights campaigner Daniel Dragomir, said the problems question the readiness of Romania to take over the helm of the EU at a critical time in its history with Brexit and Euro elections due to take place during its 6-month presidency.
Dragomir founded Romania 3.0, a new political movement which campaigns for the respect of human law. He highlighted three areas of concern, including the use of what are known as secret protocols, or documents agreed between prosecutors, the secret services and the Supreme Court. Dragomir said that these documents are withheld from defendants and their representatives in criminal cases, in breach of international standards.
The country's Constitutional Court is due to rule on the legality of such practices later this month.
A second concern is the alleged surveillance by the police of an estimated 6m people, both Romanians and EU nationals, equivalent to two thirds of the country's population.
Dragomir, a former intelligence officer in Romania, told the meeting that some 311,000 "interception orders", or warrants, were issued between 2005-2016. Eighty people, he said, faced more than one warrant.
The matter, currently being investigated by the Romanian parliament, constitutes a breach of EU treaties, he argued.
A third issue highlighted is the alleged "pressure" including blackmail, facing Romanian judges from prosecutors and the secret services.
Dragomir said that a report by Romania's Judicial Inspection revealed that currently some 3,400 cases were under investigation.
He told the meeting, "All this is more reminiscent of what went on in Romania under Ceausescu and the Securitate and not a supposedly functioning European democracy."
The Securitate was the popular term for the Departamentul Securității Statului (Department of State Security), the dreaded secret police agency of Romania while Ceausescu was Romania's long time Communist leader.
Dragomir added, "The MO reminds us of what went on in the communist past rather than an EU member states today."
He said his new political party, created in December 2017, sought to press the EU and international community to act. "The rule of law, democratic accountability and judicial independence cannot be threatened by an unaccountable cabal at the highest levels of Romania's anti-corruption and intelligence apparatus."
Also highlighted at the hearing was the CVM, the EU's rule of law mechanism which aims to ensure that both Romania and Bulgaria meet international standards on human rights, the rule of law and respect for the judiciary.
Although Romania joined the EU on 1 January 2007, it was considered necessary to be still subject to such controls.
Another speaker, former UK foreign office official David Clark, said that past CVMs on Romania had made "no mention whatsoever" of the issues highlighted at the hearing.
Clark, also a former close aide to the late UK foreign minister Robin Cook, said, "Romania is one of a number of serious governance issues the EU has to deal with. It is up there with Hungary and Poland as a problem but, in the case of Romania, the EU does not seem to want to know."
He added, "It is clear that the fight against anti-corruption bureaucracy has been taken over by elements of the secret services which are trying to claw back powers lost after the fall of communism".

Workers in Estonia thought they rescued a dog from an icy river. It was actually a wolf
Andrew Sharp
Finally, a story out of Europe in which the wolf isn't the villain.
Several men in Estonia who rescued what they thought might be a dog from an icy river found out later they had actually saved a wolf, according to news accounts and a post on the Facebook page of the Estonian Union for the Protection of Animals.
According to the Estonian news outlet Postimees, three construction workers saw the animal struggling and cleared a path through about 109 yards of icy water.
They pulled the animal out of the water, wrapped it in a blanket and took it to warm up in their car before driving it to an animal clinic, according to Postimees.

"He was calm, slept on my legs. When I wanted to stretch them, he raised his head for a moment," Rando Kartsepp, one of workers, told Postimees.
The men entertained the idea that the animal might be a wolf, but it didn't seem likely, according to EUPA's post. Once they got to the clinic, a hunter confirmed that the animal was actually a young wolf born last year.
The veterinarian said that considering the wolf's condition, it probably wouldn't have been able to get out of the river without the men's help, according to EUPA.
A photo in the Postimees showed the wolf later being released into the wild.
Estonia has an estimated 200 wolves, according to the Associated Press, and the grey wolf was voted the country's national animal by nature organizations in 2018.
