Dajabon, Dominican Republic CNN —The United States and other diplomatic missions have begun evacuating personnel from Haiti, as gang violence in the Caribbean nation’s capital Port-au-Prince continues to spiral. US Southern Command said the move was consistent with “standard practice for Embassy security augmentation worldwide.” No Haitians were on board the military aircraft, it added. Another source with knowledge of the operations told CNN there have been at least 12 helicopter evacuation flights into Port-au-Prince over the past three days, all evacuating diplomatic and humanitarian staff. However, shots fired nearby after the last flight’s take off on Sunday have called into question the viability of continuing the evacuation flights, the source said. The World Food Programme suspended its maritime transport services in Port-au-Prince from distributing aid across Haiti due to the instability.

☆ 3 simple ways to become more influential at work, says Stanford expert: ‘There’s nothing more powerful’

You don't have to be a CEO, or even a manager, to be influential at the office. Getting your coworkers to listen to and support your ideas boils down to just three emotional intelligence techniques, says Stanford University lecturer and communication expert Matt Abrahams. The advice is timely, Abrahams adds: Hybrid and remote work mean most entry- and mid-level Gen Z and millennial employees get less face time with their bosses. "You really are forging your own way and need to get others to at least support, if not follow, the things you're trying to do." Find alliesWhenever you find yourself in a room of people who don't usually work with, you have an opportunity to form new relationships.

Billionaire Mark Cuban built his career using advice his dad gave him at age 14: Time is your most valuable asset. Sometimes, his dad brought him along to sweep floors — and, more specifically, show him the limits of working for someone else. "This time wasn't spent to learn about what my dad did, but to learn that his job didn't have a future," says Cuban, 65. "I wanted to make enough money so I didn't have to respond to anybody else," Cuban said in a MasterClass released last week. "I could make my own schedule and live my own life the way I wanted to do it."

Berger points to nearly a 50-year-old study from Harvard University, wherein researchers sat in a university library and waited for someone to use the copy machine. They phrased their request in three different ways:"May I use the Xerox machine?" "May I use the Xerox machine because I have to make copies?" "May I use the Xerox machine because I'm in a rush?" "Persuasion wasn't driven by the reason itself," Berger wrote in a book on the topic, "Magic Words," which published last year.

Asking someone for help can feel like a burdensome request. Asking for a helper tells the other person that you respect their expertise, flattering them into agreement. That's just one example of turning "options into identities," says Jonah Berger, a marketing professor at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. "Framing actions as opportunities to claim desired identities will make people more likely to do them," Berger tells CNBC Make It.

☆ Opinion: The Jennifer Crumbley verdict is a powerful warning to parents
▼ + stars: | 2024-02-07 | by ( Opinion Jennifer Tucker | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +9 min

Prosecutors alleged that the Crumbley parents willfully disregarded warning signs that their son was in crisis, did not heed concerns of school administrators, bought him a gun days before the shooting and failed to lock it up. Yet, research shows that even parents who think their guns are inaccessible to minors are mistaken. Distributed responsibilityMost parents want their children to be safe, yet many continue to enable household access to loaded guns. In fact, a recent study shows that states often loosened gun laws after mass shootings, especially states with Republican legislatures. This case opens the door for parents to be held legally accountable, and reminds all parents of their responsibilities when it comes to gun safety.

But it also sets the stage for additional appeals from the Republican ex-president that could reach the U.S. Supreme Court and result in further delays. The judges gave Trump until February 12 to ask the Supreme Court to pause the ruling. The appeals court took center stage in the immunity dispute after the Supreme Court in December said it was at least temporarily staying out of it, rejecting a request from Smith's team to take up the matter quickly and issue a speedy ruling. But the court could yet still decide to act on a Trump team appeal, adding to the uncertainty of a trial date. The high court declined the request, leaving the matter with the appeals court.

Minnesota law meanwhile prohibits landlords from limiting or preventing calls for emergency services and also preempts local ordinances penalizing landlords over such calls. She later learned the calls ran afoul of Peoria’s nuisance ordinance. Last year, Maryland prohibited landlords from evicting tenants over the number of emergency calls to their addresses, as well as prohibited cities and counties from penalizing landlords for emergency calls.

☆ The No. 1 mistake people make when trying to win arguments, according to a Wharton professor
▼ + stars: | 2024-02-01 | by ( Megan Sauer | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +1 min

You might assume winning arguments — over politics, a work project, or even where to eat — requires hours of researching data and rehearsing well-informed points. Not necessarily, says Jonah Berger, a marketing professor at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School. That's because people often dilute their stronger claims by adding weaker, less relevant ones, Niro Sivanathan, an organizational behavior professor at London Business School, told CNBC Make It in November. So, instead of hearing your strongest points, the person you're hoping to convince may walk away with a shallower understanding of your argument. "If you have just one key argument, be confident and put that on the table, rather than feeling the need to list many others."

☆ 5 Takeaways From the Appeals Court Hearing on Trump’s Immunity Claim

A three-judge panel of the federal appeals court in Washington heard arguments on Tuesday in a momentous case over former President Donald J. Trump’s claim that he is immune from criminal charges for the efforts he took to overturn the 2020 election. A ruling by the court — and when it issues that decision — could be a major factor in determining when, or even whether, Mr. Trump will go to trial in the federal election case. Here are some takeaways:All three judges signaled skepticism with Trump’s position. The judges on the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit appeared unlikely to dismiss the charges against Mr. Trump on grounds of presidential immunity, as he has asked them to do. The two Democratic appointees on the court, Judge J. Michelle Childs and Judge Florence Y. Pan, peppered John Sauer, a lawyer for Mr. Trump, with difficult questions.
