  • Leading the Way a PHILOSOPHY - in PROGRESS
    1 “The direction in which education starts a man will determine his future life.” —Plato 2 Leading the Way A PHILOSOPHY - IN PROGRESS [ INTRODUCTION \ he doors of our first school opened in 1968 because of the desire to experience firsthand Tthe marvelous thrills and excitement in the world of children. When we began, we had no idea of how our programs would evolve. Our intention was to meet the growing needs of families by integrating daycare and preschool into one program, something that seemed a bit radical back then. Today, with 10 locations and 19 programs, we are the only organization in Northern California providing private education and daycare for children from six weeks to 12 years of age. Of interest to us as founders is the tremendous amount of learning that goes on each year in young children. It has always been exciting for John and I to see all the important loving and guiding experiences of infancy incorporated into the children’s development. We believe we have an opportunity to influence much of what will happen to children as they go through elementary school, junior high school and on into adult life. It also is a real challenge to our staff to provide an environment that will encourage maximum development for children, as positive experiences during the early years lead to much greater success in the future. Through the years, we have faced many challenges. In the beginning, just getting the first school ready to open was quite an endeavor. Inspired by our vision of creating a unique and nurturing place for learning, we rolled up our sleeves and did whatever we could ourselves, disregarding the fact that we had no prior experience in many of the tasks we were about to undertake.

  • Two Limerick Brothers Changing the World of Smes
    Think Business Starting a business in Ireland https://www.thinkbusiness.ie Two Limerick brothers changing the world of SMEs Two brothers from Limerick are changing the way SMEs can accept payments online. Their mission is to keep it simple and go global. Limerick brothers Patrick and John Collison’s payment processing company Stripe has just been valued at $5 billion. Not bad considering they are still in their 20s and started the company five years ago. For a company so young, it is important to note just how revolutionary it is. Stripe is on the verge of disrupting the global online payments industry. Its mission is to help SMEs, of all sizes, sell their goods online with the minimum of fuss and cost. Roughly six months ago, Stripe raised $70 million, valuing the firm at $3.5 billion. The latest round of investment by Visa, American Express and Sequoia Capital (said to be below $100 million), gives the company a valuation of $5 billion. The reason Stripe has gained so much traction, so soon, is because it offers a very simple solution to SMEs. Like PayPal, Stripe allows online SMEs to process debit and credit card payments, and in return it takes a small fee. A lot of Stripe’s success is also down to good timing. Not only is the global eCommerce market maturing (PayPal processed over $220 billion in online transactions last year) but we are entering the era of mobile and social commerce. Stripe is a simple solution for these changing times. Stripe is not only one of Apple’s partners for its new Apple Pay service, but it will also power the ‘Buy’ button on Facebook.

  • Billion-Dollar Startup Companies, Immigrant Founders Have Created an Average of More Than 1,200 Jobs Per Company
    NATIONAL FOUNDATION FOR AMERICAN POLICY NFAP POLICY BRIEF» OCTOBER 2018 IMMIGRANTS AND BILLION- DOLLAR COMPANIES BY STUART ANDERSON EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Immigrants have started more than half (50 of 91, or 55%) of America’s startup companies valued at $1 billion or more and are key members of management or product development teams in more than 80% of these companies. The research shows the increasing importance of immigrants in cutting-edge companies and the U.S. economy at a time when executive branch policies are aimed at restricting immigration into the United States. (These numbers represent an increase over a March 2016 NFAP study.) Since in every successful startup company each co-founder makes a key contribution to start the company and move it toward success, it is likely none of the billion-dollar companies with at least one immigrant founder would have been created or exist in the United States if the foreign- born founder had not been allowed to come to America. At least 9 highly successful immigrant-founded billion-dollar companies were recently acquired or went public in an initial public offering and, therefore, were not included in the study, an indication the findings underestimate the contributions of immigrant entrepreneurs. Moreover, several of the immigrant entrepreneurs featured in the research have started more than one company and jobs from those companies were not included in the study. The research finds that among these privately held billion-dollar startup companies, immigrant founders have created an average of more than 1,200 jobs per company. The collective value of the 50 immigrant-founded companies is $248 billon, which is more than the value of all the companies listed on the stock market of many countries, including Argentina, Columbia, Peru, Portugal and Ireland.

As office holders and social lobbyists, these women directly transformed the political and social fabric of society. Some of these women played a key role as the first recognized political figures in the region, while others worked to document and write about the female experience and built academic programs around feminism and women’s history. Others worked as activists and lobbyists for a variety of causes including the Equal Rights Amendment, the environment, women’s legal rights, and pay equity.

  • Argument Against Measure C
    ARGUMENT AGAINST MEASURE C Don't be fooled by the misleading description of Measure C. San Jose already allows medical marijuana and has 16 legal dispensaries. In fact, Measure C will repeal controls that protect our neighborhoods and children from the negative impacts of marijuana sales. Measure C would allow dispensaries to open up next to a day care center, a church or a residence. Currently, medical marijuana dispensaries.are prohibited from locating within 150- feet of residences and churches and 1,000 feet from schools, parks, and libraries. This is a good law and should not be changed. Measure C would reduce penalties for selling marijuana to children from thousands of dollars to a $100, slap-on-the-wrist fine. Selling cigarettes or alcohol to a child carries at least a $1000 penalty. A $100 penalty would allow dispensaries to sell marijuana to children with no serious consequences. Measure C would eliminate all guidelines for how marijuana is grown or obtained by the dispensaries. As a result, marijuana grown by drug cartels could be sold in San Jose, as well as marijuana produced in illegal grow-houses, or marijuana manufactured with harmful chemicals. There are 16 marijuana dispensaries in San Jose. Measure C has NO LIMITS on the number of dispensaries that will be allowed to open in San Jose. As a result, we might end up with hundreds of dispensaries throughout the City, making it easy for our children to get marijuana. I Responsible medical marijuana dispensary operators say that Measure C is a trick to eliminate reasonable regulations so that bad operators will be free to sell marijuana to anyone, anytim·e, anywhere.
