sorry for long post & engforeigner here(Rwandan-American female), from the USA. I plan to study abroad next semester and had the choice of the Netherlands, Iceland or Serbia, and I chose Serbia. I have a close friend who is Montenegrin/ Serbian and she actually deferred me from the decision. Shes really nationalistic and does travel back quite a bit but still called it a dump with nothing to do(??)lol. She told me I’d be better off on Western Europe since most people living there(in Serbia) are trying to leave anywayTBH this shocked me because a lot of what she was saying was I’d be faced with a lot animosity(?) from Serbs back home* since foreigners are regarded with disdain, serbs are very racist, homophobic etc. I’ve interacted with members of her family & other Serbs that aren’t a younger generation and only received kindness. My perception of Balkan people in general is positive honestly, here in the states. I’m taking what she said with a grain of salt since I want to find out for myself and genuinely think it’s a beautiful underrated country. But I guess I made this post because I wanted to know from people who actually live in the region – if you were an outsider and had to pick a country with only online research, would you still pick yours?edit: to clarify about this program – it is just for the beginning of the summer, five weeks + both an educational opportunity as much it is a working one (Internship) located in Belgrade via /r/serbia https://ift.tt/YW4e7wN

would you pick your country to study abroad in?

There are some books everyone must read once in their life. Not just because the book is good, but because they need to read it. For reference, the book I needed to read was Uncle Tom’s Cabin.Before reading this book, I was sympathetic to the Confederate cause and admired their generals, swept up in the tragic poetry that had been built around them. I was aware of why they thought, but I couldn’t believe they were all awful people themselves, they must have had good reasons for fighting to preserve slavery, and besides, it didn’t sound like slavery was all that bad.Then I read Uncle Tom’s Cabin and any notions of a sympathetic, noble Confederacy died. This book’s sentimental nature does not hide that it shows the horrors of slavery at a time when it was sorely needed. Slavery tore families apart and demeaned human beings unlike anything else. Two examples still stick with me; Topsy and Prue.Topsy is a minor but famous character from the book who has since become a stereotype of a disobedient black child, which is unfortunate because it misses why she’s so disobedient. She was treated like and told that she was a wicked child all her life. She doesn’t even know who her mother and father are, she has no education of even the most basic things, Topsy shows how slavery denies a child the knowledge that they have a mother, in the sense that the mother exists. Pop culture suggests she’s a fun-loving child when nothing could be further from the truth.Prue, however, demonstrates this taken to the logical extreme. Prue is, for all intents and purposes, a brood mare. Her masters used her for the purpose of breeding and selling young children until she was past the age of child-bearing, and finally sold her off. She has no knowledge of anything outside of her own life, including Jesus. Prue is a very minor character, but her scene has stuck with me since I read Uncle Tom’s Cabin in a way like nothing else has.This is why I believe everyone needs to read Uncle Tom’s Cabin; it demonstrates powerfully how evil slavery is and how no, there is no defending it and that even the best arguments for it mean nothing.Any other books everyone needs to read? via /r/books https://ift.tt/UoLtvT9

Hi, idk if this is allowed, new to this sub. I’ve been trying to do a full clean of my house for months but can only do so when I’m super wrapped up in a gripping podcast series. Problem is, I can’t seem to find one to obsess over right now.Podcasts i’ve previously been addicted to: – Welcome to Night Vale – Stuff you should know – Grownups read things they wrote as kids – My dad wrote a porno – Russell brand under the skin – The mysterious secrets of uncle berties botenarium – Off menu podcast – Mum says my memoir is a lie – Kermode and Mayo’s film review – Hamish and Andy podcast – Syd and Olivia talk shit – The guilty feminist – Those conspiracy guys (lollllll) – Casefile – Guys we fucked – Dan Carlin hardcore history via /r/podcasts https://ift.tt/aN0qVBR

From Chicago, and decided to take the family on a road trip around Lake Erie. Stops included: Southbend (Notre Dame campus), Cedar Point, Cleveland, Niagara Falls, TORONTO, London, Detroit, and Paw Paw, MI. We had a blast at all stops, but Toronto was the bee’s knees! We stayed 2 nights at the Sheraton Center, and had poutine both nights at the Chunky Fries Food Truck directly in front of the 3D sign. I highly recommend. We enjoyed 4 completely separate meals in front of Union Station… they have a cool stage and mobile food court for the summer. We all split tacos, Greek salad, samosas, fries, and beers. Great crowd. Hit a bunch of neighborhoods including: Kensington Market, Chinatown, Distillery District, Entertainment District, and the Harbor. We also sat in section 219 of the Rogers Centre (reddit recommendation) for a Blue Jays win over Detroit. Chapman hit 2 dingers! I really wanted to see Casa Loma, but my kids insisted on a Chinatown lunch before we left. The Dumpling House Restaurant has a pan-fried pork dumpling that should be required eating for all tourists. Great city, great people, great time. Will return! Thanks Toronto! via /r/toronto https://ift.tt/1XDiyHP

Article: https://ift.tt/HBXCDzr the world quite literally burns and floods, it’s important to remember that individualism won’t really solve the climate crisis, especially compared to, say, the wholesale dismantling of the brutal grip the fossil fuel industry has on modern society. Still, there are some individuals who could probably stand to do a bit more to mitigate their carbon footprint — among them, the super-wealthy who make frequent use of carbon-spewing private jets. (And let’s not even get started on yachts.)While private jets are used by rich folks of all kinds, their use among celebrities has come under scrutiny recently, with reports of the likes of Drake and Kylie Jenner taking flights that lasted less than 20 minutes. In response, the sustainability marketing firm Yard put together a new report using data to rank the celebrities whose private jets have flown the most so far this year — and subsequently dumped the most carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.Drake and Jenner both appear on the list, but they’re actually nowhere near the top, which is occupied by none other than Taylor Swift. According to Yard, Swift’s jet flew 170 times between Jan. 1 and July 19 (the window for the Yard study), totaling 22,923 minutes, or 15.9 days, in the air. That output has created estimated total flight emissions of 8,293.54 tonnes of carbon, which Yard says is 1,184.8 times more than the average person’s total annual emissions. (At least one more flight can be added to that list, too: The flight-tracking Twitter account Celebrity Jets notes that Swift’s plane flew today, July 29.)“Taylor’s jet is loaned out regularly to other individuals,” a spokesperson for Swift tells Rolling Stone. “To attribute most or all of these trips to her is blatantly incorrect.”To create this report, Yard scraped data from Celebrity Jets, which in turn pulls its info from ADS-B Exchange (“the world’s largest public source of unfiltered flight data,” according to its website). Yard based its carbon emissions estimates on a U.K. Department for Transportation estimate that a plane traveling at about 850 km/hour gives off 134 kg of CO2 per hour; that 134 kg estimate was multiplied with both time-spent-in-air and a factor of 2.7 to account for “radiative forcing,” which includes other harmful emissions such as nitrous oxide (2.7 was taken from Mark Lynas’ book Carbon Counter). That number was then divided by 1000 to convert to tonnes.Coming in behind Swift’s plane on Yard’s list was an aircraft belonging to boxer Floyd Mayweather, which emitted an estimated 7076.8 tonnes of CO2 from 177 flights so far this year (one of those flights lasted just 10 minutes). Coming in at number three on the list was Jay-Z, though his placement does come with a caveat: The data pulled for Jay is tied to the Puma Jet, a Gulfstream GV that Jay — the creative director for Puma — reportedly convinced the sneaker giant to purchase as a perk for the athletes it endorses.While Jay-Z is not the only person flying on the Puma Jet, a rep for Yard said, “We attributed the jet to Jay-Z on this occasion because he requested the Puma jet as part of his sign-up deal to become the creative director of Puma basketball. The Puma jet’s tail numbers are N444SC at Jay-Z’s request. N, the standard US private jet registration code, 444, referring to his album of the same name and SC for his birth name, Shawn Carter. Without Jay-Z, this jet would cease to exist.”The rest of the celebrities in Yard’s top 10 do appear to own the jets that provided the flight data for the report. To that end, though, it’s impossible to say if the specific owners are the ones traveling on these planes for every specific flight. For instance, Swift actually has two planes that CelebJets tracks, and obviously, she can’t be using both at once.So, beyond the Jay-Z/the Puma Jet, next on Yard’s list is former baseball star Alex Rodriguez’s plane, which racked up 106 flights and emitted 5,342.7 tonnes of CO2. And rounding out the top five is a jet belonging to country star Blake Shelton, which has so far taken 111 flights and emitted 4495 tonnes of CO2. The rest of the Top 10 includes jets belonging to director Steven Spielberg (61 flights, 4,465 tonnes), Kim Kardashian (57 flights, 4268.5 tonnes), Mark Wahlberg (101 flights, 3772.85 tones), Oprah Winfrey (68 flights, 3493.17 tonnes), and Travis Scott (54 flights, 3033.3 tonnes).Reps for the other nine celebrities in the top 10 of Yard’s list did not immediately return Rolling Stone’s request for comment.As for the two celebs who helped inspire Yard’s study: Kylie Jenner’s jet landed all the way down at number 19 (64 flights, 1682.7 tonnes), sandwiched between Jim Carey and Tom Cruise. And Drake’s plane popped up at number 16 (37 flights, 1844.09 tonnes), in between golfer Jack Nicklaus and Kenny Chesney. While Jenner has yet to address her 17-minute flight, Drake did respond to some criticism on Instagram by noting that nobody was even on the seven-minute, 12-minute, and 14-minute flights his Boeing 767 took during a six-week span. The explanation, in all honesty, doesn’t do him any favors.“This is just them moving planes to whatever airport they are being stored at for anyone who was interested in the logistics… nobody takes that flight,” Drake said. (A rep for Drake did not immediately return Rolling Stone’s request for further comment.) via /r/Music https://ift.tt/p83472a
