Experts say phone calls can resolve conflicts better than digital communication. AdvertisementPicking up the phone really is the best way to figure things out when issues arise with colleagues, experts say. "And, I think, to me, it's an example of how often the best thing to do is just to pick up the phone." Phone calls, in comparison, allow for real-time, personal discussions "where tone and emotion are conveyed much more clearly," McLean said. But phone calls, in general, also help build better relationships in the long run, Sundaram said.

On every group trip I've ever been taken there has been at least one awkward meal.

Sometimes the relationships revert to their original forms once the vacation ends. Travel reporter Victoria M. Walker says there is usually one culprit responsible for group trip conflict: the budget. "Not having a candid conversation about budgeting is why these types of trips can go wrong," she says.

The London-listed company, founded in 2006, makes a range of proprietary hydrogen fuel cell systems aimed at off-grid and remote power generation for construction, mining, and transportation industries. U.K. shares are generally priced in pence, with 100 pence equal to one British pound ($1.28). The 30-kilowatt generators consume hydrogen for fuel and will be available to customers in the U.K. through its joint venture with equipment hire firm Speedy Hire . The three-year deal with Speedy Hire — under its Speedy Hydrogen Solutions brand — will target U.K. and Irish construction and emergency power markets.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — When the 2024 Grammy nominees were first announced, women dominated the major categories. And at Sunday's show, those nominations translated into awards: Every televised competitive Grammy went to at least one woman. But at the Grammys, where much of the focus is on performers, it appeared like women were ruling the industry. “I know that the way the Recording Academy voted is a direct reflection of the passion of the fans,” she said. SZA, who led nominations with nine, took home three awards — but was completely shut out of the general field categories.

True to form, Swift ensured this year's Grammy discourse would be dominated by her music, even if she didn't win a major award. Alas, the evening ended with Swift notching her record-breaking fourth win for album of the year. I was even more disappointed to watch Swift win over SZA, whose sophomore album, "SOS," earned universal acclaim.
