Thousands march to protest education cuts in Morocco

LONDON (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - At least 80 million children living in areas affected by war or natural disaster had their education disrupted last year, leaving them prey to child labor, trafficking and extremism, experts said on Thursday.
Many humanitarian aid appeals for 2015 ignored education, and aid appeals for education were only one-third funded. Overall, education received 1.4 percent of all humanitarian funds, British charity Theirworld said in a report.
"The new analysis ...(confirms) 2015 was a disastrous year for children who had their education disrupted by wars and natural disasters," said Susan Nicolai, head of development progress at the London-based think tank Overseas Development Institute.
"World leaders need to urgently guarantee that there isn't a future humanitarian emergency response where education isn't seen as critical," said Nicolai, whose institute's research produced the 80 million figure featured in the report.

4. A business is not unlike a marriage, and when you add a business partner to the mix, well, things get interesting. What often happens is two people get together, discuss a dream, get very excited (much like falling in love) and jump in feet first, hand-in-hand, anticipating a blissful journey.
Then reality hits. The easiest answer to this is to clearly lay out the vision, mission, and goals for the company. If you have already done that and things are getting shaky between you and the co-founder or partner, revisit your vision, mission, and goals and see if you both are clear.

* Consider audio books to listen to while you drive, or train yourself to skim-read for the important stuff and skip the fluff. Have your team read important resources and report what they've discovered at your management meetings.
* Before you leave work, log what you felt you accomplished and determine what needed to get done that wasn't, then create a priority list for your upcoming day.
Lastly, don't be shy about asking for help. Business today is about success through edutainment. Edutainment is the fusion of education and entertainment, and involves learning and having fun, watching your business grow, and building on skills, while strengthening your weaker areas.

* Penny pinched to save, rather than investing in the business (or spent too much so there's nothing left to invest). Wasn't it Ben Franklin who said a penny saved is a penny earned? Well, for business owners, a penny properly invested is a dollar earned. Focus now has to be on rasing the value of your average sale, boosting your margins, and frankly, turning your business sinto a money-making machine.

* Trying to cover all functions in your business. You're the leader, right? The one in charge. But often business owners like yourself have honorable intentions, yet fall into the trap of taking on too much responsibility , landing them in the trapful thinking that they are the only ones that can handle everything (Yes, I made up the word trapful, but I bet you know what I'm saying).
