One night at the dinner table, my family and I raised our glasses and said a happy chorus of well-wishes to my happy marriage. As it turns out, I’m not, in fact, married.
Why, then, did we toast to my marriage? Because my fortune-teller had just told me I would have a long and happy marriage.
Growing up in Japan, fortune-telling and other kinds of spiritual predictions were a regular part of daily life —
Conversations around diversity and inclusion can be uncomfortable — particularly in the workplace.

It was while decorating her own home, 10 years ago, that Frieda Gormley realised she wanted “to save up for pieces that would become memories, that were made in the UK, but that were more of my tastes, rather than the style that my parents might choose”.
She and her husband spent six months driving around the UK, finding British manufacturers to make high-quality wallpaper, furniture and fabric but to their own quirky aesthetic, and

Governed by the Public Gambling Act (PGA) 1867, online games involving real money transactions have more or less remained in a legal quagmire for years now.

Three days after Election Day in 2016, I got a message on Twitter from a new friend. She was having a handful of people over, mostly women, to sit and talk and process and — most importantly — make some plans to “try to stop the human rights apocalypse.” Did I want to join?

Former President Barack Obama delivered a critical takedown of Donald Trump on Saturday and called out his successor for only caring about “feeding his ego” during his time in the White House.
At a drive-in rally for Democratic nominee and his former vice president Joe Biden in Flint, Michigan, Obama slammed Trump for failing to focus on the nation and instead only working to promote himself using a “reality show”
Going it alone in the big bad world of business can be both nerve-racking and strangely freeing. Obviously, a one-man-band heaps a lot of responsibility on his or her own shoulders when every success or failure leans entirely on them. However, it does grant cagey thinkers the opportunity to work smart and streamline operations in a way that can’t happen with loads of employees to consider.
We pulled together five resources that should really help
It’s been written off as a simple, sadistic slice of “torture porn” – and, in fairness to this viewpoint, the film’s (seemingly endless) string of sequels have certainly gone all-out when it game to the elaborate gore. But don’t be too quick to dismiss the movie that kicked it all off.
In James Wan’s gripping little 2004 horror-thriller, two men find themselves trapped in a room, each chained by the leg to opposite ends of
