Two reports released Monday provide a mixed but compelling outlook on the wave of book removals and challenges as the annual Banned Books Week begins for schools, stores and libraries nationwide. The ALA attributed the decline in book challenges in the first eight months of 2024, in part, to the work of anti-censorship activists and “success in courts” against laws that restrict book access. “But, you know, the First Amendment protects the rights of minors as well.”While the ALA’s report shows signs of book challenges abating, objections to certain titles still persist. Like the ALA, PEN said a large portion of the books targeted have racial or LGBTQ themes. It is supported by the ALA, PEN, the Authors Guild, the National Book Foundation and more than a dozen other organizations.

A school district in northeastern Florida must return three dozen books related to race and the LGBTQ community to school libraries as part of a settlement reached Thursday with authors, parents and students. The Nassau County School Board removed 36 books last year after the titles were challenged by Citizens Defending Freedom, a conservative advocacy group.

☆ The top reasons job applicants say they ghost prospective employers in the hiring process
▼ + stars: | 2024-07-16 | by ( Sarah Jackson | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +3 min

Some job applicants may withdraw their candidacy without saying so, disappearing in the middle of the hiring process. Knowing why they do so can help companies address issues in the hiring process to better attract, hire, and retain talent. The biggest reasons job candidates said they ghost prospective employers have to do with bad experiences with talent acquisition, according to a report published Monday by FlexJobs and MyPerfectResume. With any application, "the outcome might not be getting the job or offering the job," Frana added. But letting a candidate or prospective employer know before you go is "at least is a more positive end than just dropping communication altogether."

☆ Apple stock gets fresh upgrades pointing to 14% upside as it becomes a leader in the AI race

The research firms both raised their Apple price target to $240, representing potential upside of 14%. Both CFRA and Bernstein increased their Apple price target to $240 per share on Friday. According to CFRA analyst Angelo Zino, who previously had a $210 price target, Apple is poised to turn the iPhone into "the ultimate personal assistant." "We expect Apple Intelligence (AI) to help support incremental consumer upgrades, driven by loyalists and an aging installed base, with AI being more evolutionary than cyclical that will aid multiple years of growth," Zino said. Bernstein bases its $240 price target on fiscal year 2025 earnings per share of $8.00 and a historically high multiple of 30x earnings.

Shaqiri was actually a surprise selection for Switzerland’s second Euro 2024 game against Scotland on Wednesday. Albania, just like against Italy, were ahead and could have pulled off the greatest result in their footballing history.

If the alternative is FIFA executives arbitrarily deciding on seedings among themselves, then it’s probably worth having official rankings.
