"We're also constantly pushing our team to make sure that they are having a life outside of work," Winsbury said. Fellow Gen Zers, he said, can be frustrating to work with because they have been conditioned to be impatient. Hodgson said Gen Zers "get a bad name" for being work-shy, but he doesn't think that's the whole story.

A lot of parents think they don't need to talk to their kids about porn, but as an adult filmmaker, I never had that option. Talking to children about porn isn't just important for parents in the adult entertainment industry, though. We can't assume our kids have not seen porn. That's why I created the nonprofit The Porn Conversation to give families tools to help them talk with kids about porn literacy. Pointing out the things we see and questioning them helps children build the skills they'll need to understand porn.

☆ Opinion | A Failure of Leadership at American Universities
▼ + stars: | 2024-05-11 | by ( The Editorial Board | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +2 min

Protesting the world’s wrongs has been a rite of passage for generations of American youth, buoyed by our strong laws protecting free speech and free assembly. The highest calling of a university is to craft a culture of open inquiry, one where both free speech and academic freedom are held as ideals. The Constitutional right to free speech is the protection against government interference restricting speech. In the real world, though, this can get messy, and nuance is required when free speech comes into tension with protecting academic freedom. The earliest universities to adopt the principle of academic freedom did so to thwart interference and influence from totalitarian states and religious zealotry.

☆ Harvard-trained neuroscientist: The No. 1 'cheat code' highly successful people use to get ahead at work

Research has consistently shown that being liked at work can positively influence your career advancement, from negotiating a raise to landing a promotion. Gaining a colleague's respect or making work friends isn't a privilege reserved for high performers, says Juliette Han, a Harvard-trained neuroscientist and adjunct professor at Columbia Business School. According to Han, there's one "cheat code" highly successful people use to form stronger bonds with people at work: They find common ground with the people they work with. "You want to have a clear, open dialogue with the people you work with to show that you listen to and respect their preferences," Han explains. Praising someone on a presentation well done, their work ethic or a skill they've mastered "can go a long way," says Han.

The outcome could involve hefty settlements that employers are compelled to cough up to employees who brought workplace-related lawsuits against them. "That is easy, easy money" for the employee, Zambrano, who is suing the musicians Lizzo and Ye (formerly known as Kanye West), on behalf of ex-employees, said. Having an under-trained human resources department could pose major legal troubles for a company, added David Gottlieb, a partner at the New York City-based employment law firm, Wigdor LLP. If a case has some merit, employers will "absolutely" offer money to an employee pursuing legal action, continued Zambrano. Misclassifying employees as exempt from overtimeZambrano said that another common issue he encounters is employers misclassifying employees, sometimes in order to save money for the company.

☆ Inside the rocky marriage of hedge funds and top AI talent

AI researchers have struggled with hedge funds' culture around proprietary secrets, which goes against the open-source philosophy foundational to AI and academia. Some recruiters, including Michael Stover, are seeing double- and triple-digit growth in AI hiring among hedge funds and prop-trading firms. For heads of AI, he said, hedge funds are dishing out a minimum of $1.5 million in total comp. But perhaps the top reason hedge funds are interested in the technology is that AI capabilities are bait in the war for investing talent. It's one of the few large US hedge funds without an executive or centralized team dedicated to AI or machine learning.

This aims to raise awareness of the importance of healthy soil and to encourage select growers in their network to implement healthy soil practices by providing training, support, and funding. Because growers can face many barriers in adopting healthy soil practices on their farms, the NUTRO™ Greater Ground program also offers Soil Growth grants which provide financial support to selected growers within their network. These grants help with the transition costs needed to implement healthy soil practices. In the fable, one neighbor helps the other transform their farm using healthy soil practices.
