...young Tom Hanks, history was as dull as an algebra equation. For Hanks - a classic baby boomer, born in 1956 - World War II was just a string of long-ago muzzle flashes in black-and-white. Yet he did have a more direct connection to the global cataclysm. His father had been a U.S. Naval mechanic (second class) in World War II. But Amos Hanks wasn't the type to tell his son tales of bravery and sacrifice. "Growing up, I always knew Dad was somewhere in the Pacific fixing things," Hanks says.

"After so much protest about the strong euro, I know there are big French exporters out there who aren't unhappy seeing it where it is now," French Economy Minister Christine Lagarde told Europe 1 radio in late February, just days before the euro's exchange rate to the dollar dropped another cent...
...study, scientists found that in TLR5-deficient animals, the total percentage of 150 species of bacteria in the gut was three to four times higher than in normal mice, while 125 other types of bacteria were less common.

Common remedies for bad schools include more resources and teacher training programs, and both of those can be beneficial solutions. Yet identity economics shows us that a school’s culture can be just as important, if not more so, in contributing to the success of its students. Akerlof and Kranton explain how many schools that have bucked the trend and succeeded where others have not have done so because of a cohesive culture where teachers and students feel united for a common mission or purpose.
