Tributes to Her Majesty
The Archbishop of Canterbury paid his respects to the late Monarch.
“[People were] always struck by her ability to make them feel as though they were the most important, the only person in the room, the only person in the street, in the crowd…
Both Her late Majesty and His Majesty treat others as special because, for both, their faith is built on the same rock – the rock of Christ…
This is a moment of deep grief, indeed. As Her Majesty said herself, grief is the price we pay for love.”

As employees recover from the height of the pandemic, the Great Resignation has come to light
The pandemic saw the term ‘the great resignation’ coined as thousands of people resigned from their jobs across the U.S. in 2021 and 2022.
Karin Reed, the author of ‘Suddenly Hybrid said the great resignation was a period of employees taking control of their future.
“A lot of people realised in their current environment they were not happy with what they were doing with their job. They chose to vote with their feet and go elsewhere,
In other parts of the world, a spike in resignations was not reported.
However, a higher degree of workers began reporting post-Covid burnout, as they made a return to the office.
“There’s been a blurring of the lines. You have work that’s not confined by a physical space.
“Instead of closing the computer and walk away, our computer is in the next room.”

A big surprise for music fans when they heard a new song featuring Drake and The Weeknd. But there’s a catch!
The viral song was created by artificial intelligence.
A new song that sounds like Drake and The Weeknd has gone viral, but it was created by artificial intelligence.
Now, there’s a crusade against AI music.
The song,“Heart on My Sleeve”was created by artificial intelligence and quickly racked up millions of views on TikTok, Spotify, and YouTube.
Record label, Universal Music Group (UMG) is not happy about the song that used AI-generated vocals to simulate pop music artists Drake Graham and The Weeknd.
UMG flexed their muscle and forced the song featuring some of its biggest artists to be removed from Spotify and TikTok.
According to reports, UMG is taking it a step further and sent letters to Spotify, Apple Music, and other music streamers requesting they block AI tools from training their models on the melodies and lyrics of UMG artists.
