New Leaders Emerge In The Virtual Workspace
The article discusses a study on the emergence of new leadership traits in virtual work environments, contrasting them with traditional face-to-face leadership.

Stuff Verdict
The article reviews the 'Phantom Liberty' expansion for the video game 'Cyberpunk 2077' by CD Projekt. It praises the expansion for its fantastic campaign, the beauty of the new location Dogtown, and the diverse playstyles it offers.
