Remote work had a major breakthrough when COVID-19 required businesses all over the world to send their staff home to work virtually.

These are the benefits from working from home:

The flexibility 🧘

The flexibility that comes with working from home is one of its many advantages. You can frequently create a schedule that is more suited to your individual demands thanks to this independence. This is good since it means you may choose when to take breaks and when to work, which will boost your productivity.

Cut your costs 💸

You can easily cut costs by working from home. You no longer have to pay for your daily commute to the workplace when you work from home. You're also less inclined to spend money eating out or getting beverages to cheer you up because you're at home. Additionally, you can avoid spending a lot of money on business attire. By making these small lifestyle adjustments, you may end up saving more money than you would if you were an office worker.

Life-Work Balance ⚖️

The ability to spend your time any way you like is one of the biggest advantages of remote working. You can adjust your work schedule to match your priorities because you can do so. For instance, if taking your dog for a walk or attending a lunchtime fitness class is what makes you happy, you have time to do it. Your overall happiness and sense of satisfaction may rise as a result of this improvement in your work-life balance.

More individuals are likely to return to the workplace now that the pandemic appears to be under control, but let's open the floor for discussion and see if you can persuade your supervisor to allow you to continue working from home.

Bush had a reputation for rarely allowing her songs to be licensed, but when the Duffer Brothers, who were in charge of creating Stranger Things, approached her about using one of their songs, she confessed to being a fan of the show and being happy about the song's intended use.

“It’s such a great series, I thought that the track would get some attention,” Bush said of the Stranger Things placement. “But I just never imagined that it would be anything like this. It’s so exciting. But it’s quite shocking really, isn’t it? I mean, the whole world’s gone mad.” She added, “What’s really wonderful, I think, is this is a whole new audience who, in a lot of cases, have never heard of me and I love that. The thought of all these really young people hearing the song for the first time and discovering it is… well, I think it’s very special.”

Bush also made a remark on the way that Stranger Things creators the Duffer Brothers used the song as a recurring source of escape for the tomboy character Max. “I think they’ve put it in a really special place,” she said. “I was already familiar with the series. And I thought, what a lovely way for the song to be used in such a positive way. You know, as a kind of Talisman for Max. I think it’s very touching.”

The Hand of God is on our this week 🎥🍿

The hand of God (Italian: stata la mano di Dio) is a 2021 Italian drama film coming from Academy Award-winning writer and director Paolo Sorrentino (Il Divo, The Great Beauty, The Young Pope).

Fabietto, a small boy, resides at home in Naples with his parents, Maria and Saverio Schisa, in the 1980s. He wants to study philosophy in college but doesn't have many friends or a significant other. He spends his time listening to music and watching Diego Maradona play for his home team, Napoli. He is accompanied to acting tryouts by his brother Marchino, who understands his feelings regarding their emotionally unstable aunt Patrizia. The Schisa family is thereafter devastated by tragedy, and Fabietto grows up in a heartless and ruthless way.

The word Fascinator has been used to describe a formal headpiece worn in place of hats since the 1990s; it often consists of a sizable ornate design fastened to a band or clip.

It serves no practical use, unlike a hat; it gives little to no weather protection and just serves as adornment. Sometimes referred to as a hatinator, this intermediate variant has a larger base to resemble a hat.

The Royals of the United Kingdom appear to be somewhat obsessed with these. There was not a single royal wedding that took place without these useless little accessories. And yet, here we are. Talking about them, writing about them, even secretly trying them on.

What’s the catch? They are tiny pieces of artwork, and can be very creative

Recycling plastic can be a very long and hard process, and over-production which leads to pollution is one of the biggest issues of modern society.

Recently, one solution to this problem occurred- scientists found a rare fungus in the Amazonian rainforests of Ecuador- a type of fungus that consumes one type of plastic- polyurethane and transforms it into organic matter.

This rare type of fungi called Pestalotiopsis microspora can be the solution to degrading plastic

These fungal-based pods are filled with a nutrient-packed base and plastic and then covered with a “growth sphere”, which eats up the plastic and other nutrient additives like starch and sugar.

The product of this masterpiece is an edible mushroom-like cup. It can be filled with other food or be eaten alone and is reported to have a sweet flavor and resemble the taste of licorice.

This process can take up to several months, but the end product- edible fungi which are fed plastic- sounds amazing and intriguing.

This project is only a prototype, so we still can't tell if there’s a future in eating plastic-fed fungi.

Nevertheless, the wonders of nature mesmerize us once again!

Emotional support is one of the biggest benefits of having relationships, be it a romantic one or just a friendship. You might go to your partner first if you need this kind of support.

It's common to want emotional support and direction from partners, especially in committed relationships.

However, emotional dependency goes beyond the point of assistance, and there is a thin line between love and emotional dependency

These 6 signs may suggest you are emotionally dependant:

1. Making a decision requires the approval of others
2. Constant need for a company of others
3. Fear of rejection
4. The need of keeping in touch - all the time
5. Self-care
6. Seek respect rather than attention
