"A joy for the whole country! The 4 children who were lost 40 days ago in the Colombian jungle were found alive," Petro wrote on Twitter. His post included a photograph of several adults, some dressed in military fatigues, attending to the children who were sitting on tarps among the dense forest. "They are weak. Let's let the doctors make their assessment," Petro told the press in Bogota. Originally from the Uitoto Indigenous group, the children -- aged 13, nine, four and one -- had been wandering alone in the jungle since May 1, when the Cessna 206 in which they were traveling crashed. The bodies of three adults who had been with them -- their mother, the pilot and a relative -- were all found at the crash site by the army. A massive search by 160 soldiers and 70 Indigenous people with intimate knowledge of the jungle had been under way ever since for the youngsters, garnering global attention. The area is home to jaguars, snakes and other predators, as well as armed … [Read more...] about Children lost for 40 days in Colombian Amazon found alive

Could you please share why D&I is so important? Hamzah Fazal, head of Talent, Culture & Inclusion, Vietnam Cluster at BAT D&I has evolved dramatically over the years. The world is constantly evolving, and individual identity has become critical. What this essentially means is that talents now prioritise their personal identity concurrently over their corporate identity. People now value their individual identity a lot more than they did 20 years ago, people used to adapt to the company values and identity while suppressing their own. To be relevant in this age, organisations need to create space for diverse talent with diverse identities. From the organisational perspective, diversity is what allows us to be innovative. It brings new ideas and creativity, which would not be possible with a standard or homogeneous view. It simultaneously also allows us to understand our consumers better because consumers are diverse, they have different need and wants, … [Read more...] about BAT Vietnam focuses on diversity and inclusion

My husband and I have been married for 12 years, with an 11-year-old daughter and a 7-year-old son. The first two years we lived by ourselves, everyone was happy. But then it took a turn for the worse when my mother-in-law moved in. She used to live with her youngest daughter, who was still single. My father-in-law passed away a long time ago, so the plot of land that belonged to my husband’s family was passed down to his mother, we built a house on that land. When it comes to my mother-in-law, the most common opinion of myself, relatives, and people who know her is that she was a lazy, dirty, and stingy woman who loves to stick her nose in where it doesn’t belong. She has never bothered interacting with me or her grandkids. When she moved in with us, our eldest was only a few months old, so we needed her help babysitting. She used every excuse possible, such as feeling too tired or painful (she was only 52) to avoid helping. I had to send my child to someone else in the … [Read more...] about My mother-in-law is destroying my life
