Imagine this: you wake up, it is 6 AM and the sun is so bright that you would rather spend a whole day on the balcony, then spend next 10 hours in the office. Ok, it is decided, you don’t go to work today, but what is the best excuse to skip work? I don’t think that your boss will accept something like ‘’Sorry, it’s a beautiful day, I really don’t feel like working’’. Or he would, but with the addition of ‘’…anymore. I quit’’. But what excuse should you use to skip just one day without penalties? Using someone’s death…

Wherever I go, I look for the specifics of that place, something that can be found only there and nowhere else. That can be their traditional food, monuments, parks or waterfalls. And the thing that I love the most when visiting some place is memories and souvenirs I pick up on my way home. That isn’t some expensive luxury item, but some small thing that will remind me of that place. Also, there are presents for others. The most usual presents are magnets and wooden craft representing some specific monument or institution of that place. But, to be honest, that…
While the world has enough resources to sustain a life and the medicine is advancing enough to make your life longer than 100 years, people from some countries are still dying young, and maybe even younger than before. And how healthy is your country? This actually doesn’t have anything to do with the living standard or how wealthy and advanced the country is, but how do people from their country live. That means measuring nutrition level, sickness, and the stress level since there are more and more younger people who die of heart diseases. For example, malaria has the great influence…
The first impression is everything, especially on social networks such as Tinder, since your first impression contains only a bio and a picture. Based on those two things, people are deciding whether they will swipe left or right. That’s why you should pick an appropriate picture and be a bit creative when writing your bio. And what should your bio contain? Well, basically, anything that can show who you are. That doesn’t need to be a 100-words essay that describes everything from High School you graduated from to your daily routine. It can be just one sentence, but attractive and witty enough so…
Muslims have strict rules for both men and women about dressing code. From both of them is required to cover their whole body so no body shape can be seen at all and this law is especially stern for women. The only things that are allowed for them to be uncovered are hands, toes, and eyes, no matter how old they are. This tradition is written in their Quran, but since there are many different translations and interpretation which is why the reason for covering up is a bit faded. In my personal opinion, this law is written so that…
Remember those times when one of the criteria when buying a new phone were the games the phone had? All of the games were already there and you didn’t have to wander and search for new ones. Actually, for a long time, you couldn’t install any other game on your phone than the ones that were already there. But the games you already had were interesting enough to take your whole day just playing them until you run out of battery, and there were no such things like in-app purchases, ads or any payment at all. With the invention of new,…
The Program for International Student Assessment is created by Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development in 2000. Every third year, 15-years-old students from all around the world have the opportunity to prove their capability in three skills: reading, math, and science. In 2015 students from the US didn’t exactly shine on test since they took 40th place in science, 24th in reading, and 24th in math, unlike students from Canada that made 10th in science, 3rd in reading, and 6th in math. This may be proof that Canadian kids are a lot smarter than American kids. However, how accurate those results…

Whether you are a student, hard-working person or a stay-home mom, lack of concentration is the one thing that can ruin your whole day, if not the whole life. Since our brain is constantly filled with all sorts of information and plans, sometimes it’s really hard to focus on one thing. I remember when I was a student and had to prepare myself for some test that I had the same week, I was always brainstorming something else. It was all related to school, but not with the subject I needed to pass, so there were times when I used…
Gay conversion camps are led by religious organizations, but the therapy doesn’t have anything to do with the ones you watch on TV. While TV shows are based on praying away the gay, reality is much different. In those gay conversion camps, patients are fed up with lies and tortured both physically and mentally. Official therapy in those camps was a shock therapy and it lasted until 1973. Shock therapies actually looked like this: There were several pictures shown to the patient, and based on the patient’s gender, some of them were neutral and some were stimuli. Every time was…
The death sentence is the last drop in punishing criminals, even bigger than the life sentence and can you imagine how bizarre and brutal crime should the criminal attend so that he would be punished like that. Nowadays, there are two ways of performing the death punishment. First is the lethal injection which is an intravenous injection of three different drugs that cause immediate death, while criminal was tied to the bed. This way of performing is said to be the least abusive and brutal way of death punishment. And on the other hand, there is electric chair which we are…
Every new survey comes up with a new, increased number of cheaters and it is estimated that there are between 30% and 60% married people who had or still has an affair. If we would spread the survey on relationships, we assure you that this number would be even bigger. People cheat for all kind of different reason, but one always stands: they aren’t satisfied in their marriage. It is as simple as that. If we would go into a deeper concern, we would find that those dissatisfactions could be sexual, frequent fights, and monotonic life. Not that often, but…
