☆ Dollar pauses ahead of Fed rate decision
▼ + stars: | 2023-02-01 | by ( ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

The dollar index , which measures the U.S. currency against six major peers, fell 0.029% to 102.060. "Recent progress on inflation has encouraged market participants to expect the Fed to quickly pivot from interest rate hikes to interest rate cuts," said Carol Kong, currency strategist at Commonwealth Bank of Australia. Since signs of labor market loosening were limited, the Fed would likely pair a smaller rate hike this week with hawkish communication, she said. The Fed increased interest rates by 50 basis points in December after four successive 75 bps rate hikes. It said then that interest rates might need to be higher for longer to tame inflation.

☆ Forget what you learned in school — the brain might not work in 'regions' after all

NetflixWhite matter ruling how we think and feelBrains are made up of two types of material: white matter and gray matter. The new model from Forkel and her colleagues changes that, giving white matter a much bigger role. One example of how white matter connects unexpected regions of the brain is the incredible injury of a railway worker 150 years ago. White matter may organize the regionsIt's also possible that it is the white matter that directs which region does what in the gray matter, rather than the other way around. This analysis suggests that these studies will have to be rethought to look at the brain as a whole.

☆ Stroke survivors speak out about John Fetterman's debate struggles

For stroke survivors interviewed by NBC News, the test Fetterman faced was not just political, but deeply personal. Sheth differentiated between the intellectual and cognitive capacities of stroke survivors and their ability to process language and communicate. Some stroke survivors said that just as people with learning disabilities are given extra time on standardized tests, the debate rules should have allotted Fetterman longer periods to speak. Accordingly, some stroke survivors said that at the end of the hourlong debate, Fetterman seemed worn out. Others said they hoped that the attention focused on Fetterman’s recovery might inspire greater empathy and understanding of what stroke survivors go through.

☆ How to Keep Children Safe Around Water and Prevent Drowning

And the most important messages for older children involve swimming lessons with water safety competence as an essential life skill to be taught to all children; there are notable disparities in access to swimming lessons, and drowning rates are higher in minority populations. Anyone involved in activities on water where there is a current (tubing on a river, for example) should be wearing one of those life vests. In fact, she said, parents need to understand the importance of continuing to model safe behavior as their children get older. Ms. Gage said that the only laws that regulate life vests are connected to boating — so people tend to assume that there’s no need for life vests in other open water activities. Since I spoke with her two years ago, she has become a strong believer in the value of swimming lessons for young children.
