Yet another complaint is filed against Tesla.&nbsp;The Workers United union alleged&nbsp;that the automaker&nbsp;giant has fired several employees from its Buffalo New York plant.&nbsp;The union filed a complaint with the US National Labour Relations (NLRB), stating that at least one of the 25-part employee organising committee and several others who participated in discussions were fired.

The union claims that these firings were illegal and came in retaliation for union activity and to discourage such activities.&nbsp;

Tesla fires dozens of employees a day after union announcement in New York: Report

Do people call you lazy, especially in winter? Or do you feel lazy only because you sleep a bit extra as winter starts? If yes, then, you're not lazy.&nbsp;A study has revealed that while we humans do not hibernate, but, we need a bit more sleep during the colder months.&nbsp;

Published in Frontiers in Neuroscience, the study has found that people get more REM (rapid eye movement) sleep in the winter. However, REM sleep, which is directly linked to the circadian clock and is affected by changing light, was 30 minutes longer in winter than in summer. The research suggests that even in urban areas, people who experience disrupted sleep, experience longer REM sleep in colder months, Guardian reported.

Researchers have claimed that if the study's findings can be replicated in a healthy lifestyle, then it can be done when they adjust their&nbsp;sleep habits, such&nbsp;as going to sleep early.

The team of scientists examined around 292 patients who&nbsp;had undergone sleep studies, which is called polysomnography.

Patients who experience disrupted sleep&nbsp;were asked to sleep naturally in a special laboratory without an alarm clock&nbsp;to monitor the quality, type of sleep and as well as the length of sleep.&nbsp;

After excluding people taking sleep-affecting medications, technical errors and those who might have skipped the first REM stage, 188 patients remained in the&nbsp;study.&nbsp;

The author of the study, Dr Dieter Kunz, said, "Seasonality is ubiquitous in any living being on this planet. Even though we still perform unchanged over the winter, human physiology is down-regulated, with a sensation of ‘running-on-empty’ in February or March."

Kunz said that in general people need to adjust their sleep including the length and timing of the season, and working schedules.&nbsp;

Humans not lazy in winter, need longer sleep than in summer, reveals new study

A letter that was supposed to be delivered to its destination a century ago, has finally been delivered now. The letter was originally sent in 1916, at its intended address in Hamlet Road, south London. The owner of the house, Glen received the letter after a century, but recently took it to the local historical society, so that further research could be done.&nbsp;Finally, Glen told CNN, "we noticed that the year on it was '16. So we thought it was 2016." He added&nbsp;that he noticed that there was a stamp of a King and not a Queen, so he felt that it couldn't have been 2016.

The envelope has a 1 Pence stamp bearing the head of King George V, which indicates that the letter was sent during the middle of the first world war.&nbsp;

Glen, 27, who lives with his girlfriend, said that once they realised that the letter was old, they felt it was okay to open it. Though, as per the Postal Services 2000, it's a crime to open mail not addressed to you. But Glen said that he can only apologise if he has committed a crime.

Oxford said that the letter was addressed to "my dear katie." He added that the letter was written by Christabel Mennel, daughter of tea merchant Henry Tuke Mennel, while her family was in Bath in Western England, where Mennel writes, "I've been most miserable here with a very heavy cold."

The magazine is currently producing a full report on the letter. Yet it's still a mystery as to how it arrived at Glen's residence.
