What do you weigh?

Image
Known for her role in the critically claimed TV show The Good Place Jameela Jamil is now also known as an activist fighting for women's rights and some general good old common sense really. In 2009 Jameela was discovered by a talent agent and was chosen to host a British pop culture show called T4. Four years later, she became the first-ever female host of The Official Chart show on BBC 1 Radio. The day that her position and ratings were announced, which were way higher than anyone had anticipated, the only thing that got reported of her was that she had gained weigh. This was difficult to deal with but made Jameela fight back since she suffered from anorexia between the ages of 14 to 17 and still suffers body dysmorphia. In 2018, while working in the US she started noticing yet another ridiculous trend going on Instagram. This was the family photo of the Kardashians with their weigh written on their chests. This sparked some well-deserved anger and creativity in Jameela. Jam...

TOP 10 most beautiful plants (that you might have in your garden and could quickly spread a wildfire)

Image
Pampas Grass Dittany  Melaleuca Palm Toyon Japanese Honeysuckle Maiden Grass Broom Thuja Algerian Ivy How beautiful are the plants listed above? They are definitely gorgeous! But also, dangerous. They are, in fact, some of the most flammable plants in the world, due to their high amount of resin or low moisture content of their leaves and branches. If not well cured, these plants may become a terrible threat to your beautiful garden. Talking about wildfire has become more and more common in the last years, especially this summer, when the Amazon Forest lost over 700 square miles of its stunning landscape, mostly due to human activity. Deforestation has always been part of farmers’ tradition over the decades, but the new administration of neo-elected president Bolsonaro pledged to increase agricultural activity and has let the fire spread over 25% larger than the year before.  If you are interested in the topic to chec...

Cheapest Airlines to conquer the world (or not cause flying contributes to global warming)

Image
Do you wish to see the world from the perspective of a bird? Get on a plane and let your inner pigeon out. Here are the cheapest airlines for you to conquer the world: 5. IndiGo 4. Southwest Airlines 3. Norwegian Air 2. easyJet 1. Air Asia But why is it so cheap with those low budget airlines? How come we only have to pay less than 20 bucks to get from Vilnius to Oslo? Of course, for poor and broken students this is the only glimmer of joy in our exams and lectures filled life. Nonetheless, do employees at cheap airlines face the same stress and work conditions as overpriced airlines? It is a known fact that cheap services and good working conditions don’t go hand in hand. Unfortunately, employees at low budget airlines like Ryanair faces unfair treatments such as being underpaid with few rights. Furthermore, it is expected for employees to execute multiple tasks like cleaning up after a flight and being a stewardess on top of their irregular work hours. Young pilots...

According to the famous dog trainer Cesar Millan , this is the list of the longest living breeds. New Guinea Singing Dog (18 y) Chihuahua (17 y) Toy Poodle (16 y) Jack Russell Terrier (16 y) Cockapoo (16 y) Lhasa Apso (15 y) Shih Tzu (15 y) Australian Shepherd (15 y) Beagle (15 y) Maltese (15 y) I’m sure everyone of you noticed a lot of little puppies in this list. Puppies which are not supposed to reach big sizes and that’s a typical characteristic for long living dogs. “Petite pooches”, in fact, live usually longer then their counterpart, the reason why they became common among the families. What lots of people don’t know, unfortunately, is the importance of adopting a dog instead of buying it from the breeding. Only in the USA, every year approximately 3.3 million dogs enter the shelters and only 1.6 million find a new home. It is estimated that 670.000 dogs/year are euthanized in order to prevent pet overpopula...
