Japanese hit - pyjama suit

Obraz
 A Japanese designer Taichi Ito came up with an idea to make a "pyjama suit" when he saw his wife on Zoom call. She was changing her comfy clothes to the office ones. He thought that making a loungwear that the only formal part of it will be the part which you can see on the screen, will make her enjoy working from home more. So bascially the bottom of the "pyjama suit" are just tracksuits and then more or less in the half sweatshirt becomes a shirt so that it looks you are actually wearing it. It costs 14,354 Yen and many people already fell in love with it.   I honestly have mixed feelings about this idea. Of course, I think it's great that people still have creativity and willingness to make this pandemic more bearable. From this point of view, I agree - it's funny and also interesting. But if we are talking about practical sense of this item I don't really think it has any. I mean the top of it is still just a shirt. It would be easier just to wear a...

Cyprus urged to ban hunting at coast to protect flamingoes

Obraz
 Larnaca Salt Lake in Cyprus is a key stop for almost 15,000 flamingoes on the migration path from Africa to Europe. Everything was okey until January last year when governemnt's fauna serviced noticed tens losses of flamingoes. They died in the result of lead poisoning from shotgun pellets. To this day hunting for ducks was only allowed in the network's southern tip of the Salt Lake, but now conservationists in Cyprus are urging to expand a hunting ban, because even though using lead pellets is prohibited here, hunters don't care and still use them. As the result flamingoes eat residues of them and die.  I totally agree with poeple who say that hunting for ducks should be forbidden here at all. First of all, generally, killing these poor ducks isn't funny and I totally can't understand how it can be amusing to anyone, but I also understand that it couldn't be totally prohibited, because (unfortunatelly) many people treat it as a hobby. But now hunters don't...

WHO investigation

 One of the member of World Health Organization - Dominic Dwyer, accuses China of not handing over key data about covid, which is basically precise information about the very beginning of it. It all happened when China doubted whether the pandemic actually started there. They made a theory that coronavirus originated in different country and got to Wuhan with imported frozen food.  Peter Ben Embarek - leader of WHO, said last week that yes, there is a possibility that the virus was transmitted there via frozen food, but it would be extremelly difficult and hard to find out if it is actually true, but also not impossible. The first step was getting this key data from Chinesse government, but now apprently they don't want to give it. What I think is that Chinesse government is trying to put a blame on everyone else instead facing the fact that they are the one to put the blame on. It's not the first time when they can't adress their own shortcomings and when it gets really ho...

Deadly avalanche in India

Obraz
This Sunday there was a huge catastrophe in northern India. A Himalayan glacier smashed a dam, causing a flood that destroyed everything in its path. Seven bodies have been found so far and at least 125 people are still reamined missing. NCMC said: this flood was caused by a glacier, which broke off into Rishiganga river and caused a dramatic rise in water levels upstream. There are different theories about the reason which led to it. Local acitivists blame the government for exploiting hydropower by builiding along Uttarakhand's river and mountains dams, which disturbs the natural environment of Himalays and results in more extreme weather events. On the other hand, geologist from the Wadia Institute of Himalayan Geology - Dwarik Dobhal doesn't agree with NCMC and belives that what caused this whole disaster was not a glacier, but an avalanche that because of debris blockage in the river upstream that had been there in recent weeks the lake breached and the water surged down t...
