Picture: SONYA DUNCANWhile this is a national festival, support is especially strong in the East of England. Altogether, around 900 events are taking place across the region, including walks, talks, workshops and exhibitions.

Francine Prose on Montreal in the Spring: The Time of the Butterflies

The thought occurred to me, any number of times, during a three-day weekend late in April, I spent in Montreal with my husband, Howie, our son and daughter-in-law, and three young grandchildren.

US employers post record high 6.6 million open jobs
Christopher Rugaber, Ap Economics Writer Updated 10:37 am, Tuesday, May 8, 2018 WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. employers advertised 6.6 million open jobs in March, the most on records dating back to December 2000, suggesting businesses want to staff up to meet strong demand. Job openings rose 7.8 percent in March from 6.1 million in February, the Labor Department said Tuesday. Yet overall hiring slipped, while quits increased. The number of open jobs in March matched the number of unemployed that month. That's historically unusual: Typically there are more unemployed than openings. Employers are struggling to fill jobs from a dwindling supply of those out of work. That should be pushing up wages, yet paychecks are growing at only a modest pace.
