AdvertisementShe continued advocating and sharing more posts about how toxic dynamics manifest in the workplace, such as being "managed out" by your superior. Workplace bullying is a critical issue, Costi said, because it impacts someone's entire life. Costi said many signs of workplace bullying can be subtle, but they tend to be consistent. "It just escalates so that those subtle signs turn into more overt signs," Costi said.

I've been a junior high and high school teacher for five years. The back-to-school season can be hectic for everyone, but there are things that can make it easier. From my perspective as a mom and a teacher, these are the seven things I'd recommend every parent do to prepare themselves and their child for the start of a new school year. Over the summer, the school will tell you about important dates, such as registration dates and the teacher meet-and-greet event. And no matter how many years I've been a teacher and parent, I still get nervous, too.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. — A former Cornell University student arrested for posting statements threatening violence against Jewish people on campus last fall after the start of the war in Gaza was sentenced Monday to 21 months in prison. Patrick Dai, of suburban Rochester, New York, was accused by federal officials in October of posting anonymous threats to shoot and stab Jewish people on a Greek life forum. The threats came during a spike in antisemitic and anti-Muslim rhetoric related to the war and rattled Jewish students on the upstate New York campus. Dai pleaded guilty in April to posting threats to kill or injure another person using interstate communications. He was sentenced in federal court to 21 months in prison and three years of supervised release by Judge Brenda Sannes, according to federal prosecutors.

Wilson later became the youngest male Olympic track and field gold medalist ever after the U.S. 4x400-meter relay team — made up of Chris Bailey, Vernon Norwood, Bryce Deadmon, and Rai Benjamin — won gold over Botswana on Saturday. “I was kind of in the moment because I’m watching a 16-year-old running the Olympics — Olympics history,” Norwood said.

’Tis the season for vacations, so let me make my pitch that the best travel is not lounging at a beach resort but rather journeying into a different world. So I preach both travel and prudence, and on a recent book tour, I found myself often asked about travel advice I had mentioned in my memoir. The most memorable travel often involves encountering something unfamiliar, so consider escaping the herds parading through Paris. A teenager from an affluent family in the New York or Boston areas would step into a different world by taking a ranch job in Wyoming. And this is the kind of travel that is not only affordable but actually pays for the experience.
