    How Iceland is Closing the Gender Pay Gap

    April 14, 2021 /

    A law took effect in Iceland on January 1, 2018, mandating women and men receive equal pay for equal work in business concerns employing more than 25 people.

Moreover, women hold some 41.5 percent of the island nation’s managerial positions. So, how is Iceland closing the gender wage gap? Let’s take a look. Society More Gender Equal Women have long held positions of power in Icelandic government.

    Ever been on a cruise? Although many people are reluctant, thinking they'll get seasick or bored, the truth is actually quite the opposite. A cruise is a great way to see many different places in just a few days - and unpack only once. Cruisers offer plenty of on-board activities, and are actually "small cities" which have everything you can possibly need.

    7 Amazing Natural Wonders to Add to Your Bucket List

    March 19, 2015 /

    The effects of human habitation on the natural world are significant, and much of it isn’t good: climate change, erosion, and other issues contribute heavily to the changing world landscape. There are approximately 200 natural sites on the UNESCO World Heritage List, and many are at risk of damage or destruction. If you’re putting off seeing some of these places, think on the fact that in some cases, there’s a good chance that they won’t always be around to see. Water Wonders: The Blue Hole and Plitvice The Blue Hole seems like a somewhat prosaic term, but it’s both accurate and an incredible understatement, considering the jaw-dropping nature of the…

    7 Unusual Alcohols You Might Regret Trying

    February 26, 2015 /

    1. Amazake Although the alcohol percentage of this Japanese drink is low, it doesn’t make it any easier to imbibe. White, thick and with an aftertaste – this is one highly suspicious-looking liquid. Like many Asian alcohols, it’s made from rice, though in this case it often feels like the rice has barely disintegrated and you’re in fact drinking a slightly more watery tin of rice pudding. It can be quite difficult to find outside of Japanese supermarkets and convenience stores. To be all the more Japanese about it, drink it hot on a winter’s evening. 2. Kvas Like most Russian beverages, Kvas is pretty lethal. The taste and colour…

    Instagram is quickly becoming the front runner on the social media scene, but there’s one posting faux pas that will land you with few followers despite the platform’s popularity: posting boring pictures. Sure, not every day in life is an adventure, but if people are going to follow along with pictures of the tiny minutiae of everyday life, that minutiae better be pretty. However, some of the most popular types of pictures on Instagram are without a doubt travel photos. When people are scrolling through their feed they want to be transported (whether they realize it or not) in to a scene that is better than the one they’re currently…
