We regularly hear alarmist predictions that AI is about to destroy jobs and that there will be nothing to replace them. This is nothing new and has been the message of doom for every advancement in society. From the Industrial Revolution to the latest Digital Revolution, more jobs have been created than have been lost....

Where did all the real experts go? I had originally thought to spend Easter in a relaxed and stress-free manner. However, it wasn’t long before my ire was provoked by an article on Easter Eggs.

Much of what I have done for the last several years centres on celebrating the individuality of people and of assisting them to make the most of this uniqueness. Sometimes this...

By the 16th Century the king in the UK had chosen to adopt a cabinet and ministry system similar to those he had observed on the continent of Europe. By the time that we reach the...
