☆ The Power of Having the Same Teacher Twice - The New York Times

But in the data, looping actually had the greatest upsides for less effective teachers — and lower-achieving students. The Finnish and Estonian education systems are far from perfect, and Finland’s PISA scores have dipped a bit in recent years. Teachers don’t have to waste time teaching to the test. Great education systems create cultures of opportunity for all. And there are few better ways to do that than to keep students with teachers who have the time to get to know their abilities.

Yet videos released by Hamas fighters themselves depict the brutal killing of unarmed civilians. Yaakov Peri, a former head of the Shin Bet, the Israeli security service, said Israel may have agreed to let humanitarian aid enter Gaza on Saturday morning in light of the hostages’ release Friday night. “But we cannot fall for this trap.”There are still many questions of why, of all the 200 or so hostages, the Raanans were released. Hamas might be trying to temper Israeli retaliation on Gaza by gaining some good will from the Biden administration. President Biden and his team have been closely advising Israel on how it is waging its war on Gaza, although it is not clear how much Israel actually listens to what the Americans say.

☆ Harvard and UPenn donors are furious. It may have a financial domino effect

Donors often give for specific purposes — facilities, faculty research, technology on campus, athletics, scholarships and financial aid for low-income students. The Wexner Foundation said it’s breaking off ties with Harvard University, alleging the school has been “tiptoeing” over Hamas’ attacks. Lawrence Summers, the former president of Harvard and US Treasury Secretary, has criticized the “morally unconscionable” student statement and Harvard leaders’ response. But he said that financial threats from donors were not the right solution to influencing universities’ positions on these issues. Organizers of the Palestine Writes festival denied that it embraced antisemitism, according to UPenn student newspaper The Daily Pennsylvanian.

IGaming legislation could gain steam in 2024The pace of legal online casino-style gambling, or iGaming, regulation has moved at a glacial pace in the US. It's been a big obstacle for gambling operators because iGaming is generally a more profitable business than sports betting. Many in the industry are hoping for a domino effect when the next significant state legalizes iGaming that spurs others to follow.

☆ Insider Today: Tech workers are bummed

AdvertisementAdvertisementIn today's big story, we're looking at why some tech workers don't love their jobs anymore. Many factors led to the shift, from significant layoffs in Big Tech to in-office mandates and financial pressure due to high interest rates. AdvertisementAdvertisement(Interestingly enough, Terrazas writes that workers in non-tech roles — like human resources and marketing — report the highest job satisfaction at Big Tech companies.) But it feels like tech workers themselves will end up having to do a bit of recalibration. Working in Big Tech has become a job like any other corporate gig.

In the dense warrens of Gaza, Hamas is believed to hold at least 199 people hostage, guarded by gunmen and booby traps, likely scattered and hidden from any would-be rescuers as Israel readies a ground invasion. Israeli and U.S. commandos have pulled off extraordinary hostage rescues before. That has left desperate, complex diplomacy — led by the United States and Qatar, a tiny nation with extensive ties to militant groups — as the best option to save hostages in the eyes of many current and former officials. In the talks so far, Qatar is acting as a mediator between Hamas and officials from the United States, which like Israel and the European Union considers Hamas a terrorist group. Adding even more complexity to the talks, there are people from more than 30 countries among the hostages.

Moreover, the strike might only affect a relatively small number of vehicles when compared to the auto market as a whole. Car shoppers hardly saw similar end-of-summer sales last year either because of a chip shortage that reduced production levels, added Caldwell. "It is absolutely a great time to look into the EV market, both for new and pre-owned," he said. Additionally, recurring price cuts from Tesla this year might also soften prices in the EV market as a whole, added Caldwell. Shopping tips for a low-inventory car market

Donald Tusk, leader of the largest opposition grouping Civic Coalition (KO), delivers a speech after the exit poll results are announced in Warsaw, Poland, October 15, 2023. As Europe’s sixth-largest economy, a revitalised pro-EU attitude in Poland would be particularly welcome. The 66-year old Tusk and his pro-EU coalition allies may still have to wait weeks or even months though before getting a turn at forming a government. Duda has referred the issue at the heart of that row to a constitutional tribunal in Poland. The central bank though has slashed interest rates at its last two meetings as the election campaign burst into life.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — Florida prosecutors have charged rapper YNW Melly with witness tampering ahead of his retrial on double murder charges even as his attorneys accused them of conspiring to hide evidence that the lead detective may have lied in a related investigation. Prosecutors charged Melly this week with making sure a key witness didn't testify at his first murder trial, which ended in July with a hung jury that voted 9-3 for conviction. Jury selection in the retrial of the 24-year-old rapper is set to start next week with opening statements anticipated in early November. Boutros said Moretti told Gorel that if anyone asked, “You need to say you were here when I served the search warrant.” She said Gorel didn't reply. She said Moretti told investigators he was joking — something she said wasn't true.

WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Poland’s central bank lowered its key interest rate Wednesday, pointing to a drop in inflation despite a still-high rate of 8.2% last month, raising concerns about the cut being a political move. The National Bank of Poland cut its benchmark rate a quarter of a percentage point to 5.75%. It was the second rate cut since Sept. 9, when the central bank surprisingly slashed rates by three-quarters of a point. That's far below Poland's 8.2% inflation rate. Poland’s currency, the zloty, was slightly stronger after the rate cut.

"The most common complaint I hear is a loss of control," Srikumar Rao, the author of "Happiness at Work," tells CNBC Make It. Now, it's 'I want to feel more connected to my work,' and 'I want to be excited about what I'm doing.'" New Gallup research shows that remote employees, in particular, feel increasingly disconnected from their workplaces' mission and purpose. The lack of a shared mission and purpose can be detrimental to employees' overall happiness and performance.

According to Wharton psychologist Adam Grant, employees who understand their work has a meaningful, positive impact on others are not just happier than those who don't; they're more productive, too. Research shows that raises and promotions are more common among people who find their work meaningful. What's more, the studies found, these workers tend to be more resilient, motivated and harder working than their peers. In other words, your happiness at work is a key factor in your success. According to Leanza, the most successful people follow one rule to stave off burnout and be happier at work: They make every task at work matter, no matter how small or thankless.

The number of low-emission hydrogen projects continues to grow rapidly, but installed capacity remains low as developers delay or put off plans due to increasing manufacturing, construction and installation costs, the Paris-based organization said in its latest hydrogen report. Preview Subscribe“Political momentum behind low-emission hydrogen remains strong but deployment isn’t taking off,” the IEA said. In recent years, policy makers have rolled out financial tools such as tax credits or funding programs to support developers. “Governments need stronger policy action on multiple fronts to tap in to the opportunity that low-emission hydrogen offers,” the IEA said.

While the complaint does not disclose what country Mr. Lemma was working for, U.S. officials identified it as Ethiopia and described the suspected spying as narrow in focus. In a statement, the State Department said it would work with intelligence agencies and conduct a review of the national security and foreign policy implications of the case. According to a court filing, Mr. Lemma had been employed by the State Department since at least 2021, working during the evenings at a secure facility in Washington. At the State Department, Mr. Lemma served as an information technology administrator in its intelligence arm, the Bureau of Intelligence and Research, known as I.N.R., and had access to classified systems, the filing said. The intelligence arm handles some of the most sensitive American intelligence, which is used to better inform ambassadors and other senior diplomats.

When David C. Weiss, the U.S. attorney in Delaware, asked for special counsel status, the Justice Department says Mr. Garland approved his request quickly. A widely respected federal judge before becoming attorney general, Mr. Garland has become a favorite target of House Republicans after the Justice Department launched investigations that resulted in felony charges against former President Donald J. Trump. At the heart of the issue are assurances Mr. Weiss and Mr. Garland have given to lawmakers that Mr. Weiss had ultimate authority over the Hunter Biden case and when and where to bring charges. But they have vouched generally for the statements about Mr. Weiss’ limited authority, describing a more nuanced scenario in which Mr. Weiss had sought to partner with prosecutors in Washington, D.C., and California, only to be rebuffed, causing him to try a different approach. When Mr. Weiss eventually asked for special counsel status, the Justice Department says Mr. Garland approved his request quickly.

On math tests, one of the few skills in which boys consistently outperform girls is mental rotation — turning 3-D shapes in their minds. Across several dozen studies, the more time students had to finish tests, the smaller the female disadvantage became. It’s well known that the “girls can’t do math” stereotype can cause female students to underperform on math tests. Even if they’re not anxious, female students tend to work more methodically than male students. Time pressure doesn’t just underrate the math abilities of girls and young women.
