Great Gift Suggestions For Your Crush

We all develop crushes. It's a normal feeling. However, it gets a little tricky when you're crushing on one of your closest gal pals. Her birthday is coming up and you want to give her something. But you don't want to get birthday gifts for her that might scare her away or jeopardize your friendship. You want to give her something that won't reveal your true feelings but will still show her that you care... as a friend. You want to gift her something that will not give you away too much. After all, you don't even know if she likes you back. The wrong gift might just make things awkward and ruin what you both have - a great friendship. The most delicate time in a crush situation is during that stage when you don't know if you should tell her you like her or not. So you want to tread lightly...
The Great Meteorite Mystery!

The Great Meteorite Mystery!

For the past fifty years, scientists who study meteorites have been attempting to solve a mystery concerning the origin of chondrules which are tiny millimeter-size glassy droplets of once-molten rock that meteoriticist Henry Sorby described as "drops of fiery rain" in 1877. These mysterious little droplets are seen in 85% of the meteorites that shower down upon our planet. Solving this great meteorite mystery is difficult, because chondrule formation has not been observed in modern times--the right conditions for their formation probably have not existed for over 4.5 billion years in our Solar System, when a primordial disk of dust and gas (called a protoplanetary disk) circled our newborn Sun. In July 2013, scientists suggested that they may have discovered the strange origin of these my...

If Your Thinking Of Quitting Your Job Or Joining The ‘Great Resignation’? Here’s What An Employment Lawyer Advises

Elizabeth C. Tippett, University of Oregon Record numbers of Americans have quit their jobs in recent months, with more than 4.4 million submitting their resignation in September alone. Millions more may be preparing to follow them to the exits – one survey found that around a third of workers wanted to make a career change. But one of the things I learned over the years as a lawyer and later as a professor specializing in employment law is that timing and preparation matter when it comes to quitting a job. So even if you have another job lined up, it’s worth considering a few factors that might influence whether you quit now or stay in your current role for a few weeks – or months. 1. No unemployment insurance In general, workers who quit are not eligible for unemployment insurance. In...

One Of The Most Revered Works In English Literature ‘Great Expectations’

Great Expectations traces the coming-of-age of a young orphan, Pip, from a boy of shallow aspirations into a man of maturity. From the chilling opening confrontation with an escaped convict to the grand but eerily disheveled estate of bitter old Miss Havisham, all is not what it seems in Dickens’ dark tale of false illusions and thwarted desire. Raised by a humble blacksmith, Pip is recruited by the wealthy Miss Havisham to be a companion to her ward, the cold but beautiful Estella. There, Pip learns to despise his rough origins as Estella torments him about his low prospects. When Pip is informed that an unknown benefactor expects to make him his heir, he sets off to London to realize his “great expectations.” But true gentleman stature, he will find, is a matter of character, not fort...

To Get Great Coverage, You Need A Great Media List

You've written a great press release and it's ready to go. But the bigger question remains: who do I send it to? Before you begin sending the release to anyone and everyone, take heed. By not targeting the release to the right person at the right media outlet, your release will simply go into the trash and you'll never gain the respect of any reporter. So look long and hard at your perfect release. Who would be truly interested in it? Let's face it, Oprah probably doesn't care you have developed additions to your product line. So look for publications and media that match your target market, not where you'd like to appear. Where to find media listings? Once you determine who you want to send the release to generally, you need to get all the information on the media. You can use the fol...

What Employers Can Learn From The Great Resignation

It’s a startling fact — people are quitting their jobs at a higher rate than normal. According to a Bureau of Labor Statistics report released in November of 2021, a record 4.5 million people resigned that month. You don’t have to look hard to find out why. A LinkedIn survey found that 74% of respondents said the pandemic was a wake-up call and more time at home led them to think twice about their current job. Some pointed to stress, while others cited general dissatisfaction. As someone who is hard-wired to find silver linings in every situation, no matter how dire, I think we as employers must accept there are lessons to be learned and work we can do to better support employees. 1) Embrace flexibility One thing we learned from the pandemic is we all have lives outside of the office. B...

A Trend That Began Before The Pandemic The ‘Great Resignation’ – And Bosses Need To Get Used To It

Ian O. Williamson, University of California, Irvine Finding good employees has always been a challenge - but these days it’s harder than ever. And it is unlikely to improve anytime soon. The so-called quit rate – the share of workers who voluntarily leave their jobs – hit a new record of 3% in September 2021, according to the latest data available from the Bureau of Labor and Statistics. The rate was highest in the leisure and hospitality sector, where 6.4% of workers quit their jobs in September. In all, 20.2 million workers left their employers from May through September. Companies are feeling the effects. In August 2021, a survey found that 73% of 380 employers in North America were having difficulty attracting employees – three times the share that said so the previous year. And 70%...

Great For Anyone In Need Of Cheap Legal Assistance But Bad For Tomorrow’s Attorneys – Robots Are Coming For The Lawyers

Elizabeth C. Tippett, University of Oregon and Charlotte Alexander, Georgia State University Imagine what a lawyer does on a given day: researching cases, drafting briefs, advising clients. While technology has been nibbling around the edges of the legal profession for some time, it’s hard to imagine those complex tasks being done by a robot. And it is those complicated, personalized tasks that have led technologists to include lawyers in a broader category of jobs that are considered pretty safe from a future of advanced robotics and artificial intelligence. But, as we discovered in a recent research collaboration to analyze legal briefs using a branch of artificial intelligence known as machine learning, lawyers’ jobs are a lot less safe than we thought. It turns out that you don’t ne...
