British workers have been found to be the most keen to work in their home country, while citizens of some other EU nations are also enthusiastic about obtaining jobs in the UK. An overwhelming 98.5% of Britons said they wanted to stay in the UK for their next job, according to a study of tens of millions in 15 countries of online job searches by website Indeed. This was the highest percentage resulting from the research. The most eager to work outside their nations were those in Luxembourg where 56% said they would work elsewhere. Luxembourg citizens are already well adapted to finding places in Belgium, Germany and France. With the exception of the Duchy, the majority of those interviewed preferred to work in their own countries, including those lands where the long economic downturn still remains a reality – Portugal (93%), Spain (95%), Finland (93%), and Italy (97%). The workers whose horizons stretched further were to be found predominately in Ireland, Greece and Denmark where a minority of 15% in each country said they were looking to go abroad for employment. For those who were interested in working in another country, the UK was the most favoured destination – 37% fancied their chances in Britain. Lagging behind were France and Germany where about 12% hoped for work while 8% looked to the Netherlands and 5% chose Ireland. Spain was the target for nearly 6% while Portugal was in the sights of a mere 1.5%. For the Brits, their thoughts turned mostly to Ireland and France as well as the US and India. “Freedom of movement has always been one of the EU’s central tenets but according to this research, Europe is delivering the UK one-way traffic,” said Indeed’s economist Mariano Mamertino. “It’s very clear that the average Briton is considerably less likely to want to work in Europe than the average European wants to work in Britain.”

[food 52 1]James Ransom Sometimes life — and lunch — doesn't go as planned: You made a tray of broccoli in hopes of saving half for lunch tomorrow, then couldn't resist the fresh-out-of-the-oven florets; you left your salad on the countertop; your sandwich took a leap out of your bag and onto the subway platform; your soup wasn't as filling as you'd hoped. No matter your lunchtime woe, keeping a few ingredients at your office — just enough to tuck into the back of the fridge or your desk drawer — can act as insurance against ever needing to run out for that last-minute $13 salad. Here are 10 ingredients to always have on hand at the office—ones that will save your lunches and keep you happy through the 3 p.m. slump. 1. LEMONS via Food52 Lemons have a multitude of lunchtime purposes: Squeeze one over a few apple slices to give them a citrusy bite and keep them from browning, or use the juice to flavor grains and salads in an impromptu vinaigrette. When you've used up the juice, put the rind in your water for some extra flavor. If you don't have a cutting board at work, squeeze several lemons into an airtight container at home on Sunday and bring it into work. It will last about three days in the refrigerator, or several months in the freezer. 2. SOY SAUCE There is nothing I borrow more often from the Food52 test kitchen than soy sauce. Last night's chicken dinner not as flavorful as it was out of the oven? Soy sauce. Brown rice a little too bland? Soy sauce. Not into plain hard-boiled eggs? Soy sauce. It's a great staple to have around when your food could use an salty, savory boost. 3. OLIVE OIL James Ransom You probably don't need us to tell you how delicious olive oil is, or how versatile it is — have you tried it on ice cream yet? — or how many ways you can use it to up your lunch routine, but we'll tell you anyways: 1. Mix olive oil into Greek yogurt with nuts and spices for a savory, filling lunch. (Scoop up with pita! Or pita chips.) 2. Use it to thin tahini to make a multipurpose dressing that's as delicious on leftover chicken as it is on salad. 3. Whisk it with yogurt to make a creamy base onto which you can pile salads (or dried fruit!). 4. Mash it into avocados, then slather it onto toast. SEE THE REST OF THE STORY AT BUSINESS INSIDER

[zeus greek gods olympus]Wikimedia Commons Tesla reported its first-quarter sales on Monday, and deliveries fell short of expectations (about 15,000 vehicles versus an predicted 16,000). It wasn't a horrible miss, and Tesla has a history of overpromising and underdelivering, which is actually a good thing given the company's ambitions. But the electric automaker made a remarkable admission in explaining the shortfall, which largely resulted from a lack of necessary parts for the Model X SUV. "The root causes of the parts shortages," Tesla said in a statement, was "Tesla’s HUBRIS IN ADDING FAR TOO MUCH NEW TECHNOLOGY TO THE MODEL X in version 1." [Our emphasis.] Tesla has said some revealing things in the past — Elon Musk was actually calling the car maker's stock overvalued when it was surging above $200 per share in 2014 and 2015. And we already knew that problems with the Model X's exotic "falcon wing" rear doors and sculptural rear seats nearly sank a timely launch of the crossover last year. "I'm not sure anyone should have made this car," he said in October. "We probably should have just [modified the Model S]," he added. "There are so many more features and difficult to build parts on [the Model X] than it is necessary for us to sell the cars." Hence the remarkable "hubris" admission this week. In case you were wondering, the word "hubris" comes from Greek tragedy — it means, in fact, "tragic overconfidence" and to fall victim to it leads to a confrontation with Nemesis, the goddess of retribution. It's the ancient equivalent of a world of hurt. Tesla is the only car maker on Earth and probably in history that would analyze a disappointing quarter in such highfalutin literary terms. This is both good and bad: good because it shows that the company contains some folks who can grasp the tragic implications of a shortfall in sales; bad because it's continuing evidence that Tesla can't turn itself into a true automaker — one that, you know, can _make its cars _on schedule and without a lot of drama. A General Motors or Ford would brush off a weak sales quarter, acknowledging the disappointment but not treating it as an existential failure. A Japanese automaker might engage in a round of ritual apology — but this would be rare, because Japanese car companies are stupendously good at building cars. Yes, it's just another very big way in which Tesla is different. _Extremely_ different. But that raises an obvious question: Can Tesla overcome its tragic overconfidence in the Model X, or is it destined for a grim reckoning with the automotive gods in 2016?
