First, India continues to be a very important market and Uber’s performance in India has been stronger than ever of late.'"

Excerpt from Fast Company -- "According to Seth Freeman, a conflict and negotiation expert and a professor at NYU Stern School of Business, ultimately– no matter what type of personality you have, there are three important things that are critical to any successful negotiation: credibility, preparation, and listening.

Really good negotiation is boring to watch, [because] lot of it is dependent on preparation.'"

Excerpt from CNBC -- "...Children especially don't have the resources, the capacity, to control themselves in the same way that adults do. Having said that, adults spend four hours a day on screens and that is growing every year. That has grown from three hours two years ago. So I think it is a concern for adults as well, but especially for children who need to be guided by adults."

His course was a gamble: three years ago it started with 30 students; this year 100 are enrolled. Next year, between 200 and 300 will take it."

'Well, you know, a communications device on the wrist goes back to Dick Tracy, and the features on the Apple Watch are not going to match exactly the features that The Simpsons would have had on the watch. You have to decide whether that’s an effective prediction or not,' Simon said."

Excerpt from Bloomberg -- “One of the most obvious events would be an indictment of the president. I’ve asked my friends, though, and they don’t seem to think it’ll be a very volatile moment. Maybe that’s consistent with the idea that volatility, or lack thereof, comes from Washington. I think more about geopolitical events: deterioration of conditions in the Middle East or North Korea. What really scares me the most is a cyberthreat. That countries could get into our computer system. That could produce a lot of volatility and damage our system.”
