He absolutely loves to walk or ride his bike everyday. It does not matter if it’s raining or sunny, he’s going to get some physical exercise. The pediatrician also enjoys skiing in the winter when the snow has fallen.

Looking at the medical field, Dr. Saad Saad is concerned. Doctors are not being paid or rewarded nearly enough, and the work is grueling. He also thinks that medical is only going to get more expensive, rather than more affordable. Learn more about Dr. Saad: https://www.linkedin.com/in/saad-saad

The pediatrician’s honest answers come from working almost 50 years in the industry. He knows it through and through. He recommends other doctors to find a good mentor and don’t spread yourself too thin. If you do, then you will burn out and not want to work anymore. You have to look at the long run.

Dr. Saad Saad attributes his mindset to his mentor, which he met in pediatric school back in the late 1970’s. In Charleston, South Carolina, the budding doctor received invaluable advice that he took to heart. Dr. H.Biemann Othersen taught Saad Saad to value each patient with the same amount of care as the next.

He also learned to be honest and upfront with each patient and their families. Having confidence in his abilities has given the pediatrician many great opportunities in his career. Some of the most challenging procedures gave him the confidence when he would accomplish them with success. The top procedure would be removing foreign objects from children.

This includes buttons, coins, and peanuts when they get stuck in the windpipe or food pipe. He has learned a lot from his patients in the process of helping them, and it is patience. This is especially needed when working with children.

They have a very hard time staying still and do not always understand what is going on. Being at a hospital may scare them, but Dr. Saad Saad reasures them he will take great care of them.

Betsy Devos: Excellence in School Safety and Education

Philanthropist

With the rise of school shootings in 2018, much of the Trump administration was in a shock on how to handle the situation. When Betsy Devos was appointed to lead the school safety reform movement, she made sure that security officials visited public schools and determined new policies that would ensure the safety of students, without the use of guns on campus.

 

Devos has been working with education leaders throughout the country ahead of the 2018-2019 school season. Much of the new policies deal with additional security and protocols around certain activities and student behaviors, while others deal with routine drills to help students feel safer. So far, those security measures seem to be working.

 

However, Devos’ main campaign is for educational choice. It has been her passion for most of her life, and despite what critics say about her not having the experience, she has been in education reform since it started in the 1980s with the Reagan Administration. Devos has said that previous administrations haven’t helped the movement. In fact, she doesn’t agree with Common Core or “No Child Left Behind” have solved any of the problems with America’s schools.

 

She does believe that educational choice can be the answer, although she also believes that many people don’t understand how it works. Most of her critics are teachers who say that she wants to use public funding for private schools, but Devos says that just isn’t the case. She believes that philanthropy has been the main driving force, and it’s due to her own foundation that many of the reforms have gone through in Michigan.

 

In an interview with “60 Minutes” early in 2018, Devos expressed that she felt she had achieved some success in Louisiana and Florida. Lesley Stahl had asked some tough questions about what the state of her programs were at this point, and if she thought that any were successful. With only two years in office, it’s hard to say if the programs will have long-term permanence.

 

However, Devos forges on, stating that Florida is probably the greatest measure of success. The state has the most educational choice options for students to choose from. Kids can go to private school, magnet programs, charter schools, virtual schools, and homeschooling programs. Devos says that all of this is supposed to help students go to better schools, rather than being stuck in a failing school.

 

Since starting her campaign, Devos has given several interviews where she has stated that philanthropy has been the main driver for educational reform in this country. Her backers include Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, Sam Walton, and her own family foundation. She has donated an estimated $139 million through the Devos Family Foundation so far.

 

When asked, what inspires her to continue educational reform, she says that her mother has always been an inspiration, as well as American students.

Tesla CEO, Elon Musk, Partners With ClassDojo To Create A Critical Thinking App And Launch A World-Ready Generation Of Ethical Problem-Solvers

Educational App

Elon Musk, the founder, product architect and CEO of Tesla, is also the creator and launcher of his own innovative, modern and non-traditional educational system. The CEO and parent is now aligning his efforts with the widely applied ClassDojo software system, already in place in K-8 classrooms across the U.S.

ClassDojo with its mission to build community within the classroom, by interweaving parents, teachers and kids into the process of learning, is a positive and enriching platform that allows teachers to track kids’ work. Meanwhile, student-users can proudly display and share their most memorable classroom moments with their families.

Now, with Classdojo’s help, Elon Musk is creating an app that will help younger students, by engaging their critical faculties and assisting them in the development of crucial ethical and moral dilemma-solving capabilities, tools which Musk believes’ to be imperative for a generation that will face heretofore unforeseen challenges, such as how to best fit artificial intelligence into the mainstream of our lives.

The new app is set to pose ethics-specific conondrums, which are not the usual scholastic fare. By posing real-life questions to young students via the app, Musk proposes to institute ground up change in the classroom. Yet, with ClassDojos eye-appealing packaging and colorful animation, the questions remain non-threatening, kid-friendly, and therefore part of the positive culture that is the mantra of ClassDojo.

The pairing works well. One question that speaks to the larger issue of property rights, uses a visually appealing cartoon, asking kids to imagine a scenario where a dinosaur has appeared on someone’s land. Who does the find actually belong to is the open-ended question, posed by the app. Colorful balloons instruct kid-users to listen, decide and reflect.

Although the conundrums are firstly exercises in critical thinking, they are also tools to explore communication skills as well. Students are reminded of the need to be respectful of others opinions, to stay open-minded and understand that there is no one right answer to any of the posed conundrums. It might be said that Elon Musk and ClassDojo are not only creating an app, but launching world-ready students.

What Does Softbank’s Acquisition Mean For Fortress Investment Group?

Founder, Investor

In 1998, several finance industry experts led by Wes Edens, Peter Briger, and Randal Nardone came together and set up Fortress Investment Group. They would spend the next two decades cultivating this dream and growing the company into one of the largest alternative investment groups globally.

During this time, they had to overcome various odds that included being the first private equity firm to trade shares publicly. It also had to fight hard to overcome the imminent threat to its survival posed by the real estate market crash in 2008. The independence that the company has long enjoyed however came to a pause in 2017 when Japan-based Softbank expressed an interest to acquire the firm.

The acquisition

After close to two decades of active involvement in the finance industry, Fortress Investment group management accepted an acquisition request from Japan’s leading investor, Softbank. To facilitate the deal, Softbank had to part with $3.3 Billion, most which were used to buy the company shares. The purchase meant that the company effectively delists from the stock exchange. But what does the acquisition means to the company founders and why would Softbank, a technologically oriented financier, express interest in a hedge fund?

What next after purchase

Contrary to earlier speculations about the fate of Fortress Fund after the acquisition, nothing much is expected to change with regards to its management or mode of operation. The partners will continue running the investment firm as Softbank’s independent outpost. Most importantly, the firm’s investment strategies remain intact and so do clients and their deposits.

Additionally, Fortress gets to maintain its New York headquarters as the center of its operations. Softbank will only play an oversight role in the company’s continued progress as compliment the founder’s efforts in making the company that currently boasts of over $40 billion assets under management even more successful.

Why purchase Fortress

In its forty years of existence, Softbank has only concentrated in financing digital and technology startups. The past few years have, however, seen the company embrace a more aggressive investment strategy that saw it inject more capital into non-technological but promising brands, a case in point Fortress investment group.

According to Softbank founder, Masayoshi Son, the company is on a mission of becoming one of the largest investment firms in the world. Taking over Fortress Investment Group, therefore, goes a long way in pushing them a step closer towards realizing this goal.

Bottom line

The success of Softbank is now intertwined with that of Fortress investment group. And while it promises to keep their hands-off the management of the alternative investment company, you can bet the banker will do all that is necessary to keep push company’s success and bottom line upwards, and that includes bringing more clients the Fortress way as well as more friendly investment policies.
