Newsweek - While Generation Z might be entering the workforce en masse, hiring managers are not so eager to welcome the younger generation into their companies. Forty percent of hiring managers had an age bias against Gen Z candidates, and many employers are worried about how hirable an applicant is based on their age, according to a report from ResumeBuilder.com. In the survey of 1,000 hiring managers, 42 percent admitted to considering age when reviewing applications. On both sides of the equation, being Gen Z or being a senior could cause your resume to be thrown into the trash. While 40 pe ..read more

Portland Press Herald - For the first time in 27 years, the U.S. government is changing how it categorizes people by race and ethnicity, an effort that federal officials believe will more accurately count residents who identify as Hispanic and of Middle Eastern and North African heritage...  Under the revisions, questions about race and ethnicity that previously were asked separately on forms will be combined into a single question. That will give respondents the option to pick multiple categories at the same time, such as “Black,” “American Indian” and “Hispanic.” Research has shown that ..read more

 Greg Berman -Same As Ever by Mogan Housel, a partner at a venture capital firm and a frequent blogger, is a unique product. I hesitate to call it a book. It does come packaged like a book, with hundreds of pages bound together between two covers, but it is really something else — a loose collection of stories, quotations, and aphorisms. In fairness, Housel’s approach may well be a model for future authors. For those who find their attention spans shattered by modern technology and all of the distractions at our fingertips, Same As Ever will be a perfect fit, with each tiny chapter standi ..read more

Bowling Alone by Robert Putnam  - The eminent Progressive philosopher John Dewey grappled with a conundrum that remains timely today—how to reconcile modern, large-scale, technologically advanced society with the exigencies of democracy. “Fraternity, liberty and equality isolated from communal life are hopeless abstractions…. Democracy must begin at home, and its home is the neighborly community.” “Only in local, face-to-face associations,” adds Dewey’s biographer Robert Westbrook, “could members of a public participate in dialogues with their fellows, and such dialogues were crucial to t ..read more

Independent - Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders says Israel is ‘becoming a religious fundamentalist country’ under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. “Too many people do not understand that the Israel of today is not the Israel of…20 to 30 years ago,” Mr Sanders told news outlet Crooked Media. “It is a right-wing country, increasingly becoming a religious fundamentalist country where you have some of these guys in office believe that God told them they have a right to control the entire area.” After narrowly backing Israel’s military action in Gaza in November, Americans now oppose the campaign ..read more

As longevity becomes a primary health focus, more adults are prioritizing workouts that help them in the long-term by being easier on the body and improving strength and flexibility. More than one-third of Americans say they prefer low-intensity training exclusively, according to recent data from exercise booking platform Mindbody. And almost 29% of consumers said they exercise for a long and healthy life in 2023, c ..read more

 NPR - The Walt Disney Company and a board appointed by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis have settled lawsuits in state court. The settlement ends a battle that began in 2022 when DeSantis passed the so-called "Don't Say Gay" law restricting how schools discuss gender and sexual orientation. The two sides say they are now ready to work together on operations and plans to expand Walt Disney World — one of the state's premier tourist destinations. "When you get to it, tourism is a big business in Florida," and both sides come out of this settlement looking like winners, NPR's Greg Allen says. He e ..read more
