Every day discount stores, supermarkets and even local groceries around the world throw away thousands of food products due to their expiration date. Fortunately, there is an increased awareness about this heart-sickening issue and many governments are thinking about the best way to #recycle the expired food. #French supermarkets, for instance, are now banned from trashing out-of-date food and instead donate them to #organisations dedicated to animal feeding or to the fertili

What do you have planned for today? Today my family and I will be traveling to #Southend-On-Sea for a 90th Birthday celebration. Before the #celebration we plan to have a day out at the seaside hoping to walk the pier, play some mini-golf and if there is time visit the #aquarium. In the evening we’ll be heading to the #celebration where I will see relatives that I have not seen since my #wedding 7 years ago, and also many new family members born in the last few years. Yet i

Un premier regard balayé ou inquisiteur, curieux ou insistant, perçant ou trouble et parfois même charmeur. C’est l’espace de l’évaluation dû au hasard qui a décidé de réunir deux personnes en un même espace-temps, lorsque les regards se croisent et se touchent, comme une invitation à percer la pudeur de l’autre. Et de s’inviter, un court instant, dans son intimité. Par ce biais, nous établissons un #rapport de force et, qu’il soit favorable ou défavorable, il nous situe sur

The working week is felt the same way by the great majority of #European workers - Mondays are usually difficult as our state of mind can still be in 'weekend mode'; while Fridays are usually happier days as we are used to the work stress but look forward to the weekend ahead. For many workers, the weekend is not enough to replenish their energy and have a quality time with their families. For #freelancers, the weekend can even be a strange concept, as they have to take advan

There are many challenges to learning a #language, and social interaction is certainly one of them. Learning #grammar, spelling, pronunciation, tensing, and vocabulary is only half the battle; the other half is understanding the culture behind it. Why in #American English do we say “time is money”, “feed the pig”, or call California “Cali”? Culture! Despite knowing a language thoroughly, lack of cultural knowledge can hinder communication with #native speakers. This was exemp

For many soon-to-be undergraduates, their degree will somewhat link towards their #subjects studied at school. Yet most students don’t know what to expect from their degree, let alone their future job prospects. The number of students taking an A-Level in a foreign language is at an all-time low, thus lessening the demand for them at #university. This is despite the wide array of languages many establishments offer, ranging from French to Scandinavian Studies to Urdu. Today,
