Life for the medieval peasant was certainly no picnic. His life was shadowed by fear of famine, disease and bursts of warfare. His diet and personal hygiene left much to be desired.

But despite his reputation as a miserable wretch, you might envy him one thing: his vacations.

Plowing and harvesting were backbreaking toil, but the peasant enjoyed anywhere from eight weeks to half the year off.

The Church, mindful of how to keep a population from rebelling, enforced frequent mandatory holidays. Читать дальше...

Leading up to his "Saturday Night Live" hosting gig, the comedian booked a few shows in the New York City area. The New York Observer reports that his 60-minute Friday night show was focused on Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. In particular, he went after Clinton, despite saying he voted for her.

But it happens — even to the best of us who think we are completely prepared for this roller coaster ride in the pursuit of success.

And if you don't want to commit career suicide by going back to that nine-to-five job that made you jump into entrepreneurship in the first place — you must navigate through the tough times. Читать дальше...

That burden is instead placed on individual states and employers.

Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump have both outlined policies to make child-rearing easier. Clinton has proposed a 12-week leave plan in which each parent would get paid 67% normal wage while their off. Trump has put forward a proposal for six weeks of fully-paid maternity leave. Читать дальше...
