A rally that has catapulted U.S. shares to record highs relies on red-hot chipmaker Nvidia and a few other major corporations, raising concerns that the market is more dependent on a few businesses. About 60% of the S&P 500's  total return of more than 12% for the year has come from five businesses with heavy weightings: S&P Dow Jones Indices data revealed Nvidia, Microsoft, Meta Platforms, Alphabet and Amazon.com. Nvidia, which became the world's second-most valuable firm on Wednesday after a 147% run this year, has contributed about a third of the index's increase. Their S&P 500 weightings have increased as their share prices have risen, giving them more influence over the index.

The translation is as follows: When describing a child with special needs, remember to include the child's personality before th...

This article will teach you:      What are special educational needs (sen), who are students with sen, how to identify a child with sen who lacks a diagnosis or certification, and what services are available to students with sen. I invite you to read a lengthy article in which I attempt to explain in detail and step-by-step what special educational needs are and how students with special educational needs should be treated, based on my knowledge and the literature that is currently available. I am aware from personal experience that there are still many people who are unsure about this issue. I hope that the article will allow you to systematize your knowledge in this field. With that said,    What do you mean by special educational needs?                Prof. Marta Bogdanowicz claims that students with special educational needs are those who are less able to learn than their peers, making it difficult for the...
