THE INTERNET offers many income opportunities for people who want to earn money independently without leaving their homes. For English native speakers, the chance to earn more can happen by starting your online language tutorial service. By capitalizing on your innate language skills, you can easily find your niche online, particularly to the burgeoning populace on another side of the globe: the Asians and other non-native English speakers from developing countries who are most willing to invest a lot of time and money to learn English for travel, trade, computer, technology, entertainment, education, research, etc. After all, English is a lingua franca, a universal language. How Big Is the Home-based Online Language Tutorial Industry? The online or eLearning industry is not showing any signs of slowing down since the advent of the internet. Forbes cited that the eLearning industry remains one of the top legitimate sources of income online. In 2014, Business Insider featured U.S.
AUSTRALIA is not exempted when it comes to urban legends and myths about dangerous creatures, particularly stingrays, snakes, spiders, and sharks. Despite being a first-world country--owing to its tremendous economic prosperity and political stability--Australia is also battling to keep its reputation intact in terms of the factual information of its amazing and abundant wildlife. If you are an outsider, you might easily believe the things that you’ve read on the internet. But for the local people “Down Under”, they would say that the unflattering information on these “dangerous creatures” must be taken with a proverbial grain of salt. Stingrays It was a freak accident when Steve Irwin, the “Crocodile Hunter,” was hit by a stingray barb and died while filming a documentary in Australia’s Great Barrier Reef on September 4, 2006. While we do not want to denigrate the incident, we have to educate the public about this adorable marine animal. Stingrays are not generally non-aggressive. Whi

We, the leaders of Japan, the Philippines, and the United States, met today for the first Summit between our three countries. As three Indo-Pacific maritime democracies, our nations and the half-billion people we collectively represent are bound together by historical ties of friendship, robust and growing economic relations, and a proud and resolute commitment to our shared fundamental values of freedom, democracy, respect for human rights, and the rule of law.

Our historic Summit today is the culmination of decades of partnership and builds on the recent momentum of our governments’ trila
THE GRAPEFRUIT (Citrus paradisi) diet remains a fad diet to those who are into a personal weight loss program. Since the 1930s, eating a half-fresh grapefruit before mealtime daily has been known as an effective weight-loss strategy. This tangy citrus fruit, which is packed with nutrients, fiber, anti-oxidants, and fat-fighting enzymes, is always considered an important element in a longevity diet due to its low calories. Why is the grapefruit diet amazing? A slice of grapefruit is packed with a substantial amount of Vitamin C, an important compound for slimming. Vitamin C speeds up the metabolism process in your body by 20 percent compared to other vitamins. The lycopene in grapefruit awakens the hormone in your stomach, called adiponectin, to burn fats faster. While the fruit's antioxidant, known as Naringenin, also quickens the burning of fats in the liver. Plus, grapefruit contains Nootkatone compound which forms a kind of aroma that triggers you to lessen your cravi
ONE EVENING in November 1944, when World War 2 was drawing to an end, airmen from 415th Night Fighter Squadron reported some glowing, orb-like objects tailing their aircraft as they were flying along German-occupied Rhine Valley. Pilot Lt. Edward Schlueter, intelligence officer Lt. Fred Ringwald, and radar observer Lt. Donald J. Meiers were scared and uncertain of what they saw. They thought of another dogfight, an inevitable war ahead. As the unknown objects in fiery orange, red, or green color were following their aircraft at 200 mph, the crew found out that the objects never showed up in the airborne radar and the ground control. For them, what they saw was one of the strangest things on Earth. The airmen saw eight to 10 bright orange lights flying through the air at high speed, sometimes outmaneuvering the plane. As the chase continued, the airmen reported that light appeared farther away for several minutes and disappeared. Meiers said he had “horrible thought that a German on the

Climate campaigners in the Philippines warned the leaders of Japan, US, and the Philippines against entering into a “dangerous, unholy alliance” to extend the life of fossil fuels under the guise of cooperating on climate mitigation and promoting clean energy. Civil society activists from Philippine-based climate groups pointed out that the US is the world’s top producer and supplier of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG). Japan, on the other hand, is a top gas importer and the world’s second-largest provider of public finance for fossil fuel projects. The Philippines has 25 operating gas power plants while many more are up for construction, including three LNG terminals in Luzon. The depletion of the Malampaya gas field in Palawan means that the country will now import its gas supply and the burden will be passed on to consumers already suffering from poverty and recession. Climate advocates staged a rally in front of the US embassy in Manila on April 11, calling on both the US and Japan to “
Since we started Woke Coliving in 2018, we set our goals to play a role within the SDGs framework, to impact the environment and to help the local communities to improve their living standards. By managing coliving communities, we really have the opportunity to bring sustainability up from the building to the community level. Almost 40% of the annual CO2 emissions comes from the building and construction world and, out of this, 70% comes from building operations. As an architect, I worked for the past 18 years designing projects across the globe and very rarely I have encountered sustainable buildings that pursue sustainability beyond the building itself. I mean, you can have a theoretically net-zero building, but if the community that uses it doesn’t have a sustainable approach to living, part of your efforts as designer and builder will be wasted. In 2007, in my early days as an architect, I visited the BedZed in the UK, one of the first and most successful sustainable communities e
