I always found it funny to read it as Sharon, and now you're telling me it's named after someone called Charlene? This keeps getting better

Fun question! I don't know the answer other than to say it's not just the algebraics because of the Gelfond-Schneider constant

Are you sure this is well-defined? You say that a and b are algebraic but "closure" implies that they could also be any members of S. This might mess up your proof that it's not all the reals if you do mean the closure.

Currently, employees have the legal right to request flexible working, but there is no obligation on companies to agree. That balance of power is to be shifted, with companies instead legally obliged to offer flexible working from day one except where it is “not reasonably feasible”.

Seems this isn't about a 4 day week specifically, but about employers being required to give their reasons when they reject flexible working requests. The telegraph is just using it as an example of something an employee could request.

Don't think I'd want to subject the poor spider to that, however funny it would be for onlookers!

Always uplifting to see a struggling native species doing well. Hope I get to see one of these beauties up close one day, shame they are still limited to just a few locations.

Yes, I'd say the removed crusts and tiny sizes are the most distinctive features
