In today’s world, entrepreneurial mindset and competences such as teamwork, creativity, communication skills and critical thinking become more and more important. But these skills are impossible to obtain through theory only. The international organization “Junior Achievement” (JA) gives school pupils the possibility to learn such skills while practicing in a Company Programme, which simulates a real business setting in a school environment. During the international student company trade fair “Innovative Business 2019” on 27-29 March in Kaunas, famous business leaders and start-up mentors shared their thoughts on what abilities are essential for young entrepreneurs.

Nearly three months ago, on January 6, Patriarch Bartholomew signed the Tomos of Autocephahy for the Ukrainian Orthodoxy. Though the whole process of granting autocephaly took less than a year – Ukraine’s President Petro Poroshenko appealed to the Ecumenical Patriarchate in April 2018 – the “healing of the schism” seems to be requiring much more time as the reconciliation between former schismatics and the Orthodox Church, which used to be the only canonical one in Ukraine, can’t happen in one moment.

Over the past year, Lithuania has marked historic anniversaries that have brought into focus both how much Lithuania has overcome in the past decades and how much this nation has accomplished. Today I join all Lithuanians in celebrating one such accomplishment. On this date 15 years ago, Lithuania joined the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), arguably the most successful political-military alliance in history, an alliance that has helped to bring security, peace, and prosperity to hundreds of millions of people across Europe and North America. In a remarkably short amount of time, Lithuania has become a true leader within this alliance. I want to congratulate the people of Lithuania on this tremendous milestone. NATO is stronger with Lithuania as a member, and Lithuania is stronger as a part of the Alliance.

On Wednesday evening, the social network Facebook saw a mass blocking of all Internet addresses (URLs) linking to the electoral webpage that allows citizens to place their signatures in support of prof. Vytautas Radžvilas’ electoral committee. Signatures are required to grant it the right to participate in the upcoming elections. Many people reported being unable to even post a single entry, comment or a private message with the aforementioned URL, due to it apparently being “contrary to the community standards” of the social network. “Facebook” also wilfully deleted some pre-existing entries that contained the web address, regardless of who posted them.

Similarly to the Nurnberg Tribunal, the January 13 trial process is more of a political than a legal act. It is a small step toward unveiling the communist regime’s crimes to humanity, but a major step in recognising the regime as criminal.

Research cornered Kepenis, anti-vaxxers and everyone, who met with antivaxxers on the street, shops and elsewhere. Bed and cards – even Guoga was left empty. Presidential ratings press on Nausėda. But the celebrations of those supporting Šimonytė, who has closed in on Nausėda, may also be premature.
