Warsaw's TC Meetup Shows How Far Central Europe Has Come In The Startup World
When I first started visiting Central Europe about seven years ago, the response was dismal. The first meetup we held in Warsaw, for example, consisted of five dudes who thought I was selling Amway. Now, however, folks like Open Reaktor, Aula Polska, and Bitspiration are bringing together some of the coolest startups I've ever seen, and I'm pleased to introduce you to a pair of great companies. Two weeks ago we held another great startup event in Warsaw and the resulting pitch-off was pretty amazing.

The Many Benefits Of Self Improvement | jcis-online.org
Do you desire to live a better life? Follow the tips below and you better yourself.
Happiness is often lost to stress. When we are feeling stressed, our minds aren?t just affected. Our entire bodies are too. If we want to think clearly and strive for our goals with neat, calm purpose, we must eliminate the stress in our minds. Allow yourself a set time during each day that you can relax and empty your mind. A calm, refreshed mind is essential to inner peace and self-assurance.
Stay around like-minded individuals. When you do this, you surround yourself with people who will motivate you as opposed to bringing you down. This betters your chances of achieving your goals as their positive attitudes help influence you.
Try to be prepared to record your ideas no matter where you are. Use a notepad app on your phone or even carry a real notepad with you. Record the thoughts that pop into your head and develop them when you have more time to devote to the subject.
Use your core principals to your advantage. Most people have a system of beliefs and principles they subscribe to. If you apply your principles to your daily life you will feel better about yourself and the choices you make. It also demonstrates to other people an admirable consistency. This is a trait that others will find attractive.
To get the biggest benefits from self improvement, make sure to physically take care of your body. Not getting enough sleep, getting a lot of exercise, and eating well can help you stay on top of your game, and help you win at personal development. While this may sound like an easy thing to do, it can actually prove quite challenging at times.
Instead of focusing on your own achievements, ask others about theirs. This helps you discover what other people have accomplished to help you respect them which in turn betters your character.
You cannot take care of other people unless you take care of yourself. Whatever point you may be at on your journey, it is important to properly care for yourself.
You should treat every person in your life with respect, not matter what they can do to benefit you, or how much power you think they have. How you treat someone says a lot about the kind of character you possess.
Do you find yourself consuming alcohol far too often? Are you a smoker or do you have any other harmful habits? Your body should be treated with the respect it deserves. Deleting harmful patterns and obsessions will undoubtedly lead to an improved standard of living. Look at your life, what you are doing that may be harmful, and work on omitting things that need to be removed from your life.
It should be clear now that bettering yourself is not a scary thing. The really important thing is to keep your mind focused on the great benefits to your well-being and satisfaction that a rigorous program of self-improvement will provide.

Wall St. inches up as deals provide support for rally
By Leah Schnurr
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Stocks rose slightly on Monday as acquisition activity gave support, but investors were hesitant to rush into the market with indexes hovering around record levels.
Deals, including Yahoo's $1.1 billion bid for Tumblr, indicate that companies continue to search for growth through acquisitions, a bullish sign for stocks. Yahoo
The Dow industrials and the S&P 500 finished Friday at fresh record highs and the Nasdaq Composite is at its highest since late 2000. A light economic and earnings calendar could leave the market vulnerable for a pullback, but those have been shallow and short-lived as investors take any weakness as a new chance to increase long positions.
On Monday, the Dow climbed to an all-time intraday high at 15,391.84, while the S&P 500 edged up to a new intraday record high at 1,672.84. Both major indexes are up about 17 percent for the year so far.
Even so, investors have remained wary of becoming too enthusiastic, which has helped keep the rally from getting overdone, said Mark Lehmann, president of JMP Securities, an investment bank based in San Francisco.
"The more days we go up and the more people who are in disbelief that we go up every day, the better," Lehmann said. "This is the least well-regarded bull market I think we've seen in a very, very long time."
The Dow Jones industrial average <.dji> edged up 14.44 points, or 0.09 percent, to 15,368.84. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index <.spx> gained 2.43 points, or 0.15 percent, to 1,669.89. The Nasdaq Composite Index <.ixic> added 1.33 points, or 0.04 percent, to 3,500.40.
Actavis rose 2.4 percent to $128.53 after the company said it will acquire Warner Chilcott Plc
Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold
Websense Inc
Shares of Tableau Software
"That tells you investors are looking at new ideas, and dusting off some old ideas," Lehmann said. "People are looking for growth."
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke's testimony before Congress on Wednesday is seen by many as the highlight of the week for markets. The beginning of the end of the Fed's massive bond-buying program, which has given strong support to stock gains, might come sooner than many investors think if recent gains in the U.S. labor market hold.
The Fed will also release minutes from its most recent policy-setting meeting on Wednesday, which will be parsed for signs of the direction of monetary stimulus.

Kerry to Mideast to advance struggling Syria plan
WASHINGTON (AP) ? Secretary of State John Kerry is heading back to the Middle East this week to press his case for peace talks between Syrian rebels and President Bashar Assad's regime amid increasing signs the new U.S. strategy to halt the war is being undermined by Russia.
Kerry departs Monday for discussions with the sultan of Oman. He then goes to Jordan to gather with 10 of America's closest European and Arab partners to discuss how to advance a political transition and end more than two years of bloodshed in Syria, before traveling on to Israel.
For the Syria negotiations to succeed, the Obama administration is banking on Russia's help.
The U.S. and Russia have wrangled repeatedly while more than 70,000 Syrians have died, but they now say they're working together to start direct talks between Syria's government and the opposition in Geneva next month. Washington demands Assad's ouster, while Russia continues to provide the Syrian leader with military aid and diplomatic cover, but President Barack Obama this week said the meeting "may yield results."
The optimism echoes the message of Kerry, who during his Moscow visit earlier this month declared that the old Cold War foes, by rejuvenating Syrian peace hopes, were demonstrating how they "can accomplish great things together when the world needs it."
For all the heady talk of cooperation, however, Russia has continued to rebuff American demands that it cut off military support for Assad.
Moscow is preparing to give Syria state-of-the-art ground-to-air missile systems, Israeli officials say. It is beefing up its naval presence near its base in northwestern Syria, reports suggest. And, in the latest revelation, U.S. officials say Russia has provided the Assad regime with anti-ship cruise missiles.
Gen. Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said the transfer of the advanced anti-ship missiles is "an unfortunate decision that will embolden the regime and prolong the suffering."
On the diplomatic front, the situation isn't much better. There, Russia has repeatedly blocked a proposal for an expanded Security Council trip to Turkey and Lebanon to study Syria's refugee crisis, according to U.N. diplomats.
The continued friction between Moscow on the one hand and Washington and its partners on the other comes as the Obama administration is evaluating a range of options, including military ones, to break the stalemate in Syria's civil war and respond to evidence that Assad's forces used small amounts of chemical weapons in two attacks in March. Obama previously declared chemical weapons use his "red line" for a more forceful American intervention, though Kerry and other U.S. officials have since suggested that no such step would be taken while the new peace push still has hope.
Russia's missiles support significantly boosts Syria's capability to target manned planes, drones and incoming missiles after its systems were easily circumvented in 2007 when Israeli jets bombed a suspected nuclear reactor site along the Euphrates River in northeastern Syria. Apparently successful Israeli strikes in recent weeks on weapons convoys to Hezbollah show the Syrian defenses are still far from impregnable, but the new weaponry adds further considerations as the United States tries to change Assad's calculation that he can prevail in Syria's civil war.
While more and better anti-missile systems wouldn't immediately change the fight between Syria's government and armed opposition, they would make it more dangerous for the U.S. and other governments to try to enforce a no-fly zone in the country or otherwise intervening militarily. And with Washington mulling over the options, the war continues. The refugee toll has topped 1.5 million people and much of the country has slipped into lawlessness.
Kerry's weeklong trip will also see him try to advance his two-month effort to restart peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians.
The secretary has convinced the Arab world to help by sweetening its deal of universal recognition for the Jewish state if it pulls out of most of the territory in east Jerusalem and the West Bank that it conquered in the 1967 Mideast war. But he has struggled to gain any public concession from Israel, which was accused of taking steps last week to legalize four unauthorized settlement outposts in the West Bank. The Palestinians see that land as part of its future state.
Kerry also will travel to Ethiopia to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the founding of the Organization of African Unity, the precursor to today's African Union.

Israel gunman shoots 4 dead at bank, kills self
JERUSALEM (AP) ? A gunman stormed into a bank in the southern Israeli city of Beersheba Monday, killing four people in a gunfight and taking a hostage before killing himself, police said.
Police initially suspected a bungled bank robbery but later changed their assessment.
They identified the gunman as a former military officer who fell on hard times financially. The 40-year-old man arrived at the bank to withdraw money and settle a debt, police said. He reportedly got into an argument with the bank manager and came back an hour later with a handgun that was licensed to him and opened fire.
The dead included the bank manager, his deputy and two clients. Four other people were wounded, one seriously.
After the shooting rampage, the man then took a woman hostage and held her for an hour in the bathroom before turning the gun on himself.
"He kept one hand on my mouth and said 'shut up or I'll kill you,' and the other hand held the gun in front of me," recounted the hostage, Miriam Cohen, in an interview with Israel's Channel 10 TV. "Then he put the gun in his mouth ... and I heard a gunshot."
"The murderer came in with an intention to shoot," national police chief Yohanan Danino told reporters.
