According to Homeless World Cup, the last time a global survey was attempted an estimated 100 million people were homeless worldwide. 

Earlier this month, on Oct. 17th, more than a thousand activists gathered in front of the Japanese Embassy in London to protest the Japanese slaughter of dolphins. I was one of the protestors -- and I got arrested.

Japan has been in the media spotlight for a long time now due to its indifference towards the cruel slaughter of thousands of dolphins and porpoises in Taiji. Thanks to the media attention, people around the world are protesting against this inhumane and senseless slaughter.

Do you want to watch Netflix and chill? With 65 million users worldwide spending 10 billion hours each month in front of a screen, you are definitely not the only one.

Look out Batman, there’s a new vigilante in town. Her name is Burka Avenger -- and she is awesome. 

Paris, I love you... but we need to talk.

After leaving Paris for a weekend in London, I couldn’t help but feel like I was cheating on my beloved new city with everything from enjoying the cleanish tube (Métro) to the politeness of everyone whether it be in a generous bartender at a Soho pub or a homeless person wishing me a great day.

Rue du Faubourg Saint Denis in the 10th arrondissement of Paris is full of halal butchers, small "alimentation générale" food shops, and passageways filled with enticing scents of curry and Indian spices. At the end of the street, men sell grilled corn from shopping carts.

I follow Joe Jonas on Instagram. I don’t follow many celebrities, in fact, he may be the only one, but his account is truly a treasure trove. If you’re thinking red carpet pictures and self-promotion, don’t. Though there are a few of those sprinkled in, his account mostly consists of memes and impeccably captioned photos, all relevant and all relatable to his audience fitting roughly in the 15-28 age group.

To give you a taste, here are a couple of @joejonas’ notable posts:

The NewYork Times published a debate in these articles about the value of studying abroad. Who would have thought such a debate was even necessary? Thankfully, four out of the five pieces are in favor of studying abroad and only one talks about it as a “waste of time”.
But let's look at things from the beginning.

How much would you be willing to pay for a place to stand on an airplane?
While "standing seats" aren't coming in the near future, the very idea is discussion-worthy. BBC News reports that the concept is "unworkable" because passangers need multiple straps to hold them in place in heavier planes. So why does the topic keep popping up?
