 On October 2, 22 adult rattlesnakes and 59 babies preparing for hibernation were removed from beneath a mountainside home in Santa Rosa, California, AP News reports.  Director of Sonoma County Reptile Rescue Al Wolf pulled off the massive rescue, which took nearly four hours and required him to crawl under the house on his hands, knees and stomach, turning over more than 200 small rocks as he went.  The woman who owns the house called for Wolf to investigate after she saw snakes making their way beneath her residence. When Wolf arrived, he immediately found a rattlesnake, and he continued to encounter one after another; he climbed out from under the house, grabbing buckets, a 24-inch snake pole and long gloves to finish the job.  Wolf said all of the snakes were Northern Pacific snakes, the only venomous snakes found in California.  Related: How YouTube's Top Wildlife Star Turned Getting Bitten by Animals Into Over 13 Million Subscribers Wolf has been rescuing ...

 Have you ever heard someone refer to another as a “guru?” In its native Sanskrit, the term “guru” can be defined as a “mentor,” “guide,” or “teacher” who is an expert within their field. To break the Sanskrit definition down even further, the term “guru” can be defined somewhat literally as a dispeller of darkness; the syllable “gu” meaning “darkness,” and “ru” roughly translating to “s/he who dispels them.” Throughout the history of these different religions, philosophies, and cultures, gurus have played a pivotal role as spiritual guides, assisting others in learning and realizing truths the guru has already learned themselves. In this way, gurus allow opportunities for others to grow by instilling the importance of learning and evaluation in their individual thoughts and actions. The aim of this has traditionally been to bestow knowledge and wisdom onto those learning under them, who can then, in turn, continue this cycle for others – the passing of the baton so that the human ...

 An estimated 55% of the U.S. workforce expects to be looking for a new job within the year to come, Bankrate’s jobseeker survey revealed in August. The survey followed a tidal wave of resignations in late spring and early summer, dubbed by commentators "The Great Resignation," leading many to believe we’re only at the onset of the mass workplace exodus. The problem at hand, as it happens these days, owes a lot to the pandemic. The resignation rate was already picking up pace in 2018 and 2019. The pandemic and its shockwaves put it on hold at first, but now, as vaccines build up our confidence in a safer tomorrow, the pendulum swings right back in motion. Staying in one company for years to climb up that corporate ladder is a thing of the past for most, as it just doesn’t pay as well. Changing jobs once in about two years boosts an employee’s income, especially if compared with annual raises. While this in itself is enough to amp up the quit rate, the pandemic added fuel to t...
