Stories of schools struggling with what to do with misbehaving kids. There's no general agreement about what teachers should do to discipline kids. And there's evidence that some of the most popular punishments actually may harm kids.

We spend a semester in a public school in New York City called Lyons Community School. Lyons is trying to avoid suspensions, detentions and basically all other forms of traditional punishment. (21 minutes)

The possible cognitive benefits of working memory training programs have been the subject of intense interest and controversy. Recently two meta-analyses have claimed that working memory training can be effective in enhancing cognitive skills in adulthood (Au et al. Behavioural Brain Research 228:(1) 107-115, 2014) and stemming cognitive decline in old age (Karbach & Verhaeghen Psychological Science 25:2027-2037, 2014). The current article critically evaluates these claims. We argue that these meta-analyses produce misleading results because of (1) biases in the studies included, (2) a failure to take account of baseline differences when calculating effect sizes, and (3) a failure to emphasize the difference between studies with treated versus untreated control groups. We present new meta-analyses and conclude that there is no convincing evidence that working memory training produces general cognitive benefits.

Long working hours led to 745 000 deaths from stroke and ischemic heart disease in 2016, a 29 per cent increase since 2000, according to the latest estimates by the World Health Organization and the International Labour Organization published in Environment International today.

In a first global analysis of the loss of life and health associated with working long hours, WHO and ILO estimate that, in 2016, 398 000 people died from stroke and 347 000 from heart disease as a result of having worked at least 55 hours a week. Between 2000 and 2016, the number of deaths from heart disease due to working long hours increased by 42%, and from stroke by 19%.

This work-related disease burden is particularly significant in men (72% of deaths occurred among males), people living in the Western Pacific and South-East Asia regions, and middle-aged or older workers. Most of the deaths recorded were among people dying aged 60-79 years, who had worked for 55 hours or more per week between the ages of 45 and 74 years.

With working long hours now known to be responsible for about one-third of the total estimated work-related burden of disease, it is established as the risk factor with the largest occupational disease burden. This shifts thinking towards a relatively new and more psychosocial occupational risk factor to human health.

The study concludes that working 55 or more hours per week is associated with an estimated 35% higher risk of a stroke and a 17% higher risk of dying from ischemic heart disease, compared to working 35-40 hours a week.

Further, the number of people working long hours is increasing, and currently stands at 9% of the total population globally. This trend puts even more people at risk of work-related disability and early death.

Two systematic reviews and meta-analyses of the latest evidence were conducted for this study. Data from 37 studies on ischemic heart disease covering more than 768 000 participants and 22 studies on stroke covering more than 839 000 participants were synthesized. The study covered global, regional and national levels, and was based on data from more than 2300 surveys collected in 154 countries from 1970-2018.

I've spending a long time earlier this year getting Teams and Office working reliably with FSLogix, I'm now trying to get the new Teams (23306.3308.2524.1744 as of posting this message) working reliably between Windows 10 desktops using FSLogix (for hotdesking requirements).

Hi @Ken_Z I have been waiting for the new VDI version of the teams client which has now launched, but at the bottom of the page MS are saying there is problem with FSLogix and it is not yet supported. I run a Citrix environment using FSLogix, its annoying as we could do with the new client as we are also working on a Cross tenant sync project which the new Teams client works nicely with. There exact wording on the site is;

@Jason_Parker I installed it, and new Teams is there and logs in fine from session host to session host. It doesn't seem to save all the settings though. For example, my color scheme keeps reverting after I change it. Anything else I need to do other than just install that version?

@Jason_Parker Hi, I have the latest FSLogix installed in the master-image but when I login to a Citrix-session, the new-Teams won't start. Only when I remove my profile from FSLogix and login with a clean profile (no profile) it rebuilds the profile from scratch and then the new Teams is able to start up.

I know that working and succeeding in fine dining comes at the great expense of your physical and mental well-being. The hours are punishing and the obsession with excellence is taxing. The high-pressure environment is a breeding ground for toxicity and abuse: That sous-chef from earlier once burned me with a hot blowtorch.

Our own annual survey of professional developers found, for the third year in a row, that flexibility is the most important reason why developers stay in a job (or look for a new one). Another recent survey found that one in three developers would quit if they were no longer allowed to work from home.

A recent working paper from the National Bureau of Economic Research suggests that remote workers are less productive, but as one expert who unpacked its shortcomings shows, also fails to address factors like the cost of real estate, the impact of RTO mandates on retention and recruitment, and a range of accessibility and diversity concerns.

People with disabilities and advocacy groups have also warned that RTO mandates disproportionately hurt workers with disabilities, including neurodivergent people. The option to work remotely makes work more accessible to a wider range of people, and when employers remove the option without regard for how it affects individuals, they are rendering their workplaces less accessible and less diverse. (Not to mention, less attractive to prospective employees.)

Instead of unilaterally ordering employees back to the office, organizations might take this opportunity to figure out how to make remote work work for them. If our experience is anything to go by, an openness to remote or hybrid work is how you attract the best talent and earn a reputation as a stellar place to work.

But the trend toward working from home is nothing new. In 2014 I published a study of a Chinese travel company, Ctrip, that looked at the benefits of its WFH policies (Bloom et al. 2014). And in the past several months as the coronavirus pandemic has forced millions of workers to set up home offices, I have been advising dozens of firms and analyzing four large surveys covering working from home.2

Figure 2 shows not everyone can work from home. Only 51 percent of our survey reported being able to WFH at an efficiency rate of 80 percent or more. These are mostly managers, professionals, and financial workers who can easily carry out their jobs on their computers by videoconference, phone, and email.

So as we move forward to restart the U.S. economy, investing in broadband expansion should be a major priority. During the last Great Depression, the U.S. government launched one of the great infrastructure projects in American history when it approved the Rural Electrification Act in 1936. Over the following 25 years, access to electricity by rural Americans increased from just 10 percent to nearly 100 percent. The long-term benefits included higher rates of growth in employment, population, income, and property values.
