Their cities, especially in the western half of the continent, are in general splendid places to live. EIU, our sister company, assesses the “liveability” of cities globally by measuring how they stack up in five categories: culture and environment, education, health care, infrastructure, and stability. European cities consistently top the rankings and continue to do so. The region has more cities in the global top ten than any other region. But the relative ranking of some cities has declined, mainly because living standards in Asia and Australasia have at last recovered from a pandemic slump. Our charts below show which European cities scored the highest, and which are slipping. The chart-toppers have not changed in the latest index. Vienna retained its place as the world’s most liveable city, scoring 98.4 out of a possible 100 points in EIU’s index. Copenhagen, Zurich and Geneva were unsurprising runners-up. The picturesque cities of Budapest, Prague and Bratislava had the highest scores in eastern Europe. The eastern cities of Bratislava, Bucharest and Warsaw, along with Stuttgart in western Germany, were the European cities whose scores improved most in 2022, mostly thanks to higher standards of health care (see map). More surprising is that several European cities were among the biggest decliners in global rankings. This has more to do with improvements elsewhere than with problems in Europe. Edinburgh dropped by 23 places in the global pecking order, more than any other city. But its index score declined by less than one point. The rankings of other British cities, including Manchester and London, also declined (see chart). Life in London, which fell by 12 places globally, actually got better. But the scores of non-European cities ranked just below it improved by more. Continued here You Might Like � � � � � � � � � Liked 'The Bear'? Eat your way around Chicago with these iconic dishes - Travel    From Italian beef sandwiches to flaming Greek cheese, here’s where to find the Windy City’s best multicultural cuisine. The Bear, now streaming Season 2 on Hulu, introduced many viewers to the Chicago delicacy of an Italian beef sandwich—a combo of spiced, thinly sliced meat and peppers on a crispy length of Italian bread. The show’s central character, an Italian American chef at an acclaimed New York City restaurant, moves home to Illinois to cook the dish at his late brother’s Italian beef joint. The sandwich, like many iconic Chicago foods, is rooted in the city’s multicultural history. In 1900, immigrants made up three quarters of the population. Among them were southern and eastern Europeans (see the still-vibrant Ukrainian Village on the city’s Near West Side) who adapted flavors and cooking techniques from their homelands to suit local produce, meat, and other ingredients.  Continued here This time of day is when workers make the most errors, according to a new study - CNBC    Employee productivity and accuracy decreases during the afternoon, according to a recently published study in the science journal PLOS ONE.  Unlike other studies which examine worker productivity, this one doesn't rely on self-evaluations or manager feedback. Instead, researchers tracked computer usage metrics like typing speed, mouse activity, and typing errors.  Afternoons tended to be when most typing errors were made. And on Friday afternoons, specifically, there was a decrease in computer activity and increase in typos.  Continued here
