A Spanish court has ruled that Amazon must compensate self-employed couriers who used their own vehicles for deliveries, a move welcomed by a labour union that has criticised worker conditions in the "gig economy". The Madrid labour court said that the tech giant would have to pay Social Security contributions for the 2,166 people it hired under the guise of external contractors within the now-defunct " Amazon Flex " scheme and recognise them as regular staff during the periods they made deliveries. It did not provide the total to be paid. Amazon scrapped the Flex programme in Spain last year, after a 2020 Supreme Court ruling forced companies to hire freelance couriers as staff, and the government introduced a pioneering law to the same effect in 2021.

Less than one-third of British teachers actually walked out of their classrooms this week, with the vast majority of schools remaining open to some extent, Cabinet minister Oliver Dowden revealed. Contradicting claims from the striking teachers’ unions of widespread chaos, some 70 per cent of teachers did not participate in the so-called Walkout Wednesday protest to demand higher pay, meaning that 90 per cent of schools were open “in one capacity or another”. Addressing the latest public sector strike, Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster Oliver Dowden told MPs: “I am deeply saddened by any interruption to the education of our children, particularly when they have suffered so much during Covid. “I would though like to pay tribute to headteachers and others who ensured that around 90 per cent of schools were open in one capacity or another to ensure that we continued to have education for our children, and indeed the teachers, 70 per cent of whom did not participate in the … [Read more...] about Strike Flop: Less Than One Third of Teachers Walked Out of Classroom

This year’s Grammys red carpet, for the most part, was a total clown show. Thankfully, I’ve ranked the best and worst dressed so you didn’t have to bother to watch. A little note before I start: You’ll notice Beyonce and Adele aren’t on this list. Neither walked the red carpet but if they had, they both would have been on my worst list. Beyonce is a try-hard and Adele looked like the curtains in Buckingham Palace. Okay, now that that’s out of the way, let’s go. Best: Diplo in Dolce & Gabbana Diplo was my best look of the night in this black suede-fringe suit by Dolce & Gabbana. There was so much crap all over this particular award show that the subtleness and sharp design of this suit stood out. With his bleach-blonde cropped hair and slick leather boots, Diplo has that unexplainable cool thing that lacks so much in today’s Hollywood. It doesn’t take a lot to make it to the top of this list, it just takes style.

A man from Rochester, Minnesota, will serve 180 days in jail in a case involving the rape of two little girls. On Monday, 20-year-old Mohamed Bakari Shei stood before Judge Jacob Allen for his sentencing , according to the Post Bulletin . Judge Allen was appointed by Gov. Mark Dayton in August 2018, per the Minnesota Judicial Branch’s website. Shei also faces up to 30 years on probation, the Bulletin report continued: Shei was facing three different felony first-degree criminal conduct charges in two separate cases. His plea deal called for no prison time, a stay of adjudication and the dismissal of two out of three charges. If Shei completes his probation, all charges against him will be dismissed and will not be on his criminal record.

What appears to be a mugshot was posted online Thursday: Ilhan Omar's Minnesota Muslim … [Read more...] about Man Gets 180 Days in Jail for Raping Girls Aged Between Four and Nine

Scientists in Switzerland dosed test subjects with LSD to investigate how patients with severe mental disorders lose track of where they end and other people begin. Both LSD and certain mental disorders, most notably schizophrenia , can make it difficult for people to distinguish between themselves and others. And that can impair everyday mental tasks and social interactions, said Katrin Preller, one of the lead authors of the study and a psychologist at the University Hospital of Psychiatry in Zurich. By studying how LSD breaks down people's senses of self , the researchers aimed to find targets for future experimental drugs to treat schizophrenia. "Healthy people take having this coherent 'self' experience for granted," Preller told Live Science, "which makes it difficult to explain why it's so important." Depression , she said, also relates to the sense of self. Whereas people with schizophrenia can lose track of themselves entirely, people with depression tend … [Read more...] about Scientists Made a Startling Discovery After Dosing People with LSD

Excelsior! If you want to find the best comic book apps, you’re in the right place. Comic book apps are services that take your favorite trade paperbacks and transform them into digital versions. The best bit is they retain all the great story arcs, fantastic colors and adventures of the print versions. Although we know there’s lots to be said for the purists’ traditional paperbacks, reading comics in the digital age means they are more accessible than ever. This is particularly important right now given some comics are only available as digital versions and you still might not want to venture to your favorite shop just yet to pick up anything that is available in print. Comic book apps come with a full library of back catalogues, as well as curated reading lists and rare runs that are easy to find. Comic book apps offer everyone, whether they’re a seasoned reader or comic book newcomer, a great way to read some classic stories and new finds.

Whether you're looking to kick off your Super Bowl party or just in the market for a new TV, this is one of the best times to shop for a new big-screen TV for your living room. We found plenty of deals and discounts on QLED, OLED, and LED TVs. And even though 4K is now the standard, you can also opt to future-proof your next television by going with a discounted 8K set. The best deal we've found is on LG's B2 series , which has an OLED panel. The 65-inch model is now discounted by about $600, bringing the price down to just under $1,300.
