Vacation

The life of a digital nomad, with the ability to work anywhere in the world, has obvious appeal and is now an option for an increasing number of people. It can also be a daunting prospect. Now, a new company offers you the chance to live the digital nomad lifestyle for one month at a time.

Unsettled runs 30-day retreats in some of the world’s most amazing cities. Workers sign up and, in exchange, get private accommodation and a shared workspace in a small community of other digital nomads. The company organises local tour guides and events to get a better feel for local life, as well as taking care of some of the practical elements like airport pick-up and a local SIM card.

Sorry, Jurassic Park fans: Cutting-edge simulations suggest the mighty dinosaur wasn’t capable of more than a light jog.



Contrary to popular belief, the tyrant lizard king was not built for speed. Instead, the mighty Tyrannosaurus rex was typically restricted to a brisk walk, according to a rigorous new computer model.

The top speed of a T. rex has been a long-standing debate among paleontologists. Previously, the best estimates indicated that the large lizard could run between 11 and 33 miles an hour.
