Lesley and Johan Denekamp are keenly aware that now isn’t a great time to be selling real estate in central London. Nonetheless, in September, they went ahead and listed their 3,800-square-foot townhouse with Knight Frank, for $5 million. The couple are sick of waiting, having already sat out Brexit and the pandemic. “We don’t think we are going to live forever, and four million pounds is a lot of money to have tied up in a house we don’t really need,” said Johan Denekamp.

☆ Civil rights complaints allege UPenn and Wellesley allowed antisemitism to ‘run rampant’
▼ + stars: | 2023-11-10 | by ( Matt Egan | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +6 min

New York CNN —A Jewish legal rights advocacy group has alleged that the University of Pennsylvania and Wellesley College have violated federal civil rights law by allowing for discrimination against Jews. The Brandeis Center, a Jewish civil rights legal organization, filed civil rights complaints with the US Department of Education on Thursday, alleging both schools failed to adequately respond to harassment of Jews. “These colleges and universities have failed to keep Jewish students safe and are in clear violation of well-established federal civil rights law,” Kenneth Marcus, founder and chairman of the Brandeis Center, said in a statement. The complaints argue both schools have violated Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which protects people from discrimination in programs or activities that receive federal financial assistance. The 27-page complaint alleges “Penn’s nurturing of a hostile environment toward Jewish students is a patent violation of” Title VI.

Quiet quitters and grumpy stayers grabbed headlines, but other workplace trends are gaining steam. More recently, "quiet thrivers" and "loud laborers" have been enjoying their time in the spotlight. Now, new trends such as "quiet thriving," "loud laboring," and "lazy girl jobs" are picking up steam. 'Loud laboring'"Loud laborers" sit among quiet quitters and grumpy stayers in modern workplaces. Dubbed the noisier cousin of quiet quitters, you are more likely to find "loud laborers" discussing their work rather than actually getting on with it.

"Quiet thriving" is a workplace strategy that's helping people take more control of their work. She and another expert agreed that, by contrast, quiet quitting can disempower certain workers. She believes "quiet quitting is disempowering" and that workers instead need a resilient mindset to ride out a tough economy. Given the many economic challenges workers are facing, we may hear much more about "quiet thriving" in the future. And for those people, she added, "quiet thriving" is a method of asking, "How can I really own my job instead of feeling owned by it?"

☆ VIEW US intervenes to shore up SVB deposits, stem financial fallout

March 13 (Reuters) - The U.S. government announced actions to shore up deposits and stem any broader financial fallout from the sudden collapse of tech startup-focused lender Silicon Valley Bank (SIVB.O) (SVB), sending U.S. stock futures higher. "The market turbulence sparked by SVB has upended rising market expectations on the Fed rate path. The fact that SVB and Signature Bank depositors will be made whole is critical in maintaining trust in the financial system and should help stem contagion fears this week. But it also means that 50 basis points (a possible Fed interest rate hike) is off the table." Given what's happened in the U.S. financial system, a 25 basis point hike is more likely than a 50 basis point hike."

☆ Analysis: Some highly rated US companies take unusual funding route as rates rise

Credit-worthy companies have found in the past that they can raise funds more cheaply in investment-grade bond markets. They were able to issue the securities at much lower interest rates than what they would have had to pay on a bond. In interviews, two bankers and an investor said that uncertainty has made convertible bonds an attractive option to raise money for some investment-grade companies. Earlier this week, for example, investors bought PPL’s convertible bond at 100 cents on the dollar, or at par. Because defensive stocks such as utilities like PPl could benefit if interest rates keep rising, potential returns for investors in convertible bonds could be boosted.
