Supreme Court Expands Rights for Students with Disabilities
By Lauren Camera, Education Reporter - March 22, 2017. Adaptado.
In a unanimous decision with majorn implications for students with disabilities, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that schools must provide higher educational standards for children with special needs. Schools must do more than provide a ‘merely more than de minimis’ education for students with disabilities and instead must provide them with an opportunity to make "appropriately ambitious" progress in line with the federal education law.
“When all is said and done,” wrote Chief Justice John G. Roberts, “a student offered an education program providing a ‘merely more than de minimis’ progress from year to year can hardly be said to have been offered an education at all.” He continued, citing a 1982 Supreme Court ruling on special education: “For children with disabilities, receiving an instruction that aims so low would be equivalent to ‘sitting idly... awaiting the time when they were old enough to drop out.’”
There are roughly 6.4 million students with disabilities between ages 3 to 21, representing roughly 13 percent of all students, according to Institute for Education Statistics. Each year 300,000 of those students leave school and just 65 percent of students with disabilities complete high school.
The case which culminated in the Supreme Court decision originated with an autistic boy in Colorado named Endrew. His parents pulled him out of school in 5th grade because they disagreed with his individualized education plan. Under federal law, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), schools must work with families to develop individualized learning plans for students with disabilities.
While Endrew had been making progress in the public schools, his parents felt his plan for that year simply replicated goals from years past. As a result, they enrolled him in a private school where, they argued, Endrew made academic and social progress.
Seeking tuition reimbursement*, they filed a complaint with the state’s department of education in which they argued that Endrew had been denied a "free appropriate public education". The school district won the suit, and when his parents filed a lawsuit in federal district court, the judge also sided with the school district. In the Supreme Court case, Endrew and his family asked for clarification about the type of education benefits the federal law requires of schools, specifically, whether it requires ‘merely more than de minimis’, or something greater.
“The IDEA demands more,” Roberts wrote in the opinion. “It requires an educational program reasonably calculated to enable a child to make progress appropriate in light of the child’s circumstances.” *reimbursement – a sum paid to cover money that has been spent or lost.

The Future of Jobs
http://www3.weforum.org/docs/WEF_Future_of_Jobs.pdf Acessado em 19/09/2016
Today, we are at the beginning of a Fourth Industrial
Revolution. Developments in genetics, artificial intelligence,
robotics, nanotechnology, 3D printing and biotechnology, to
name just a few, are all building on and amplifying one
another. This will lay the foundation for a revolution more
comprehensive and all-encompassing than anything we have
ever seen. Smart systems — homes, factories, farms, grids or
cities — will help tackle problems ranging from supply chain
management to climate change. The rise of the sharing
economy will allow people to monetize everything from their
empty house to their car.
Maybe Amazon heard all of the complaints about Prime Day
from last year and really took them to heart. Some
combination of more competitive pricing, a better selection of
deals, more awareness among shoppers, and the fact that
there are simply way more Amazon Prime members
compared with a year ago appears to have made the second
edition of Prime Day, held on July 12, a huge success in terms
of generating sales.

Why Finnish babies sleep in cardboard boxes
By Helena Lee, BBC News 4 June 2013 http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-22751415
For 75 years, Finland's expectant mothers have been given a box by the state. It's like a starter kit of clothes, sheets and toys that can even be used as a bed. And some say it helped Finland achieve one of the world's lowest infant mortality rates.

According to a new study, 'a non-invasive brain-to-brain interface (BBI) can
be used to allow one human to guess what is on the mind of another
human'. Mind reading might not be as improbable as many people believe,
says a study published by researchers at the University of Washington.

Michael Faye and Paul Niehaus spent summers as Harvard graduate students trying to give cash to the poor in the villages of Kenya. The villagers were perplexed; development experts thought the two had lost their minds. People who live on less than a dollar a day, the experts said, were sure to spend the money on cigarettes and alcohol.Seven years later, the idea is upending the international aid industry. Giving cash directly to the very poor turns out to be more efficient and productive than when charities with high overhead distribute goods and food. Those in extreme need take the cash and use it wisely. Giving a year's income of $1,000 to Kenyans who live on about 60 cents a day via mobile banking system M-Pesa, showed a 34 percent increase in earnings and a 52 percent rise in assets. Beneficiaries invested the cash, buying livestock and land for longer-term returns. Heavyweight investors such as Mr Ackman, from Ackman's Pershing Square Foundation, have decided to back the former grads' project, transforming it into a new business.

Berkeley geologists have uncovered compelling evidence that an asteroid impact on Earth 66 million

India for hundreds of thousands of years, and that
together these planet-wide catastrophes caused the
extinction of many land and marine animals, including
the dinosaurs.
