This year’s edition of the Greenhouse Candidate Experience Report, surveying over 800 UK-based employees, found that the large majority (77%) would actively search for or be open to a new job if their company rolled back flexible work policies.

The discovery and rescue of four young Indigenous children, 40 days after the aircraft they were travelling in crashed in the remote Colombian rainforest, was hailed in the international press as a “miracle in the jungle”.

You are always falling in love with the wrong people, and you are always getting your heart broken. But you never learn your lesson. You keep on being a romantic fool, even though you know that it will only lead to pain. Continue reading
June 1, 2023 /Lifestyle/ — There is no definitive answer to the question of whether King James I of England was homosexual. Some historians believe that he may have been, while others believe that there is no evidence to support this claim.
There are a few pieces of evidence that could be interpreted as suggesting that King James may have been homosexual. For example, he was known to be close friends with several men, and he once wrote a poem in which he described himself as being “in love” with another man. However, it is also possible that these relationships were simply platonic, and that King James’ poem was simply a literary device. Continue reading
