Japanese Women Protest High Heels Rules

Should women be forced to wear high heels for their jobs? Yumi Ishikawa, a 32-year-old actress from Japan, says no. And she‘s collected the signatures of almost 30,000 people who agree with her.

Ms. Ishikawa has a part time job which requires her to stand in high heels for many hours. High heels can be painful. They are hard to walk in and nearly impossible to run in.

One day, Ms. Ishikawa noticed the shoes of a man who worked with her. She realized her job would be far easier if she was allowed to wear comfortable shoes like his. After work, she posted that idea on the social media site Twitter. Her post got a huge response – 67,000 people ―liked‖ the post.

Using high heels for a long period of time can lead to injuries far more serious than just blisters or foot pain. High heels can cause ankle problems and change the shape of leg muscles, putting extra strain on them. Wearing high heels can also cause back pain.

Many women like the look of high heels and don‘t mind if the shoes are uncomfortable. But there‘s a difference between choosing to wear something and being forced to. One Japanese website reported that about 60% of Japanese women are forced to wear high heels at work.

Ms. Ishikawa created a petition – a request which other people sign to show their support. She asked Japan to make requiring high heels at work against the law. The petition explained the problems caused by high heels. It also pointed out that it was unfair that women were often required to wear high heels, but men were not.

Why teenage jobs are good for your kids

Photo: https://www.bachelorsdegreeonline.com

With the fall semester under way, parents and students are choosing extracurricular activities. Hockey? Chess club? Band? Recent research shows that another option — adolescent work experience — can pay big dividends later in life.

Many schools and parents push children to engage in excessive extracurricular activities. Meanwhile, adolescent work has been increasingly categorized as non-desirable and only for those facing the demands of poverty. Yet more than 50 per cent of high school seniors work, suggesting teen work is more than a product of income inequality.

In fact, recent research shows work experience has many positive impacts for all. Students can learn many life skills through working, and if teenage job opportunities are overlooked, they can miss many benefits. The benefits are both short-term and long-term.

Some of these benefits were even stronger when working for a family business rather than a stranger. In fact, working in a family business led to further enhanced career networking and even better matched jobs later in life at the age of 25.

This is an important finding, considering roughly 45 per cent of Canadian youth report having worked in their family‘s business at some point. While this number may appear high, when you take into account that many children work in small family businesses or farms, it highlights the impact such work has on a wide swath of society.

Sleeping at the wheel

Tokyo, Japan - Japanese car rental companies have learned something interesting about their customers – many people in Japan don‘t rent cars to drive somewhere, they rent because they‘re looking for a quiet, private space.

The Japanese newspaper Asahi Shimbum says that in the summer of 2018, a car-sharing company called Orix Auto discovered that quite a few of its cars "traveled no distance" when they were rented. The people at Orix couldn‘t explain it. "The only thing we can say is that…a number of people rent cars without driving them", they said.

Other car sharing and rental companies soon noticed the same thing. One car rental company learned that one out of every eight customers said they didn‘t rent their cars for driving.

The companies were curious. If customers weren‘t renting cars to drive them, then why were they renting? They began to ask their customers some questions to learn more about what was going on. It turned out that customers were using the cars in many unexpected ways.

Besides driving, the most common use for rental cars was napping. It‘s likely that many Japanese people could use a nap. The Guardian newspaper points out that Japanese people report sleeping about 45 minutes less each day than the worldwide average. In one group of Japanese adults who were questioned, nearly 93% said they did not get enough sleep.

What Migratory Birds Tell Us About Sustainability

Yellow-rumped warblers are a common sight in the fall – Central Oregon, US.

A sign of the passing seasons which many of us have come to expect is, increasingly, under threat. Each year, flocks of migratory birds arrive and leave in dazzling displays, landing in trees and on lakes, ponds and beaches, foraging for food in fields and marshes. They provide both sustenance and delight for billions of people around the world. But many migratory birds, like people, are struggling amid unsustainable conditions.

Migratory birds are indispensable to healthy ecosystems and to the well-being of people in every region of the world. They provide food and income. They consume billions of insects. They help to disperse crop seeds and are capable of stimulating primary productivity, for instance while foraging in marshes. But their numbers have been falling due to a lethal combination of factors, including pollution, climate change, unsustainable hunting practices, habitat losses, and the impact of human settlements and infrastructure.

One dramatic example can be seen in the Sahelian Wetlands, which cover several countries in Africa and provide food and livelihoods for nearly a billion people. Since 1960, the population of water birds has plummeted by some 40 percent.

These wetlands, including the Senegal River Delta, the Inner Niger Delta, Lake Chad Basin and parts of the Nile River Valley, typically experience long and harsh dry seasons. The presence of migratory wild birds, especially water birds, is critically important to the well-being of rural people in the region and ongoing efforts to address hunger and malnutrition.

Every year, World Migratory Bird Day is observed in May and October as part of an annual campaign designed to raise public awareness of migratory birds and the need for international cooperation to protect them. This year‘s events take place on May 11 and October 10.

This global campaign also reflects a growing understanding that major challenges like hunger and poverty are frequently linked to the state of the natural environment and the ways in which we manage our land and water resources. The long-term well-being of migratory birds is closely interconnected with our own prospects for a sustainable future. As a consequence, the World Migratory Bird Day actively contributes to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and SDG 15 (life on land). It also contributes to SDG 1 (no poverty), SDG 2 (zero hunger) and this year, in particular, to SDG 12 (responsible consumption and production) by focusing on the devastating effects of plastic pollution.

In response to the challenges facing migratory birds in the Sahelian Wetlands, five countries in the region (Chad, Egypt, Mali, Senegal and Sudan), together with international organizations and communities, are pooling their efforts to develop ways to protect the wetlands and their bird populations, while taking into account the daily needs of the people who share these habitats. [...] Making sure that migratory birds find healthy and welcoming places to settle on their repeated journeys across continents and waterways is not the only path towards a sustainable future but it is a fundamental step towards their conservation, a goal whose importance can no longer be ignored.

Text 1 for questions 25, 26, 27, 28 and 29.

Humans Are Growing Weird, Bone Spikes on Their Skulls:

Smartphones May Be the Culprit

The hours we spend scrolling through our smartphones appear to be changing our skulls. This may be the reason why some people — especially the younger crowd — are developing a weird, bony spike just above their necks.

The bony skull bump — known as an external occipital protuberance — is sometimes so large, you can feel it by pressing your fingers on the base of your skull.

"I have been a clinician for 20 years, and only in the last decade, increasingly, I have been discovering that my patients have this growth on the skull," David Shahar, a health scientist at the University of The Sunshine Coast, Australia, told the BBC.

A cause-and-effect relationship hasn't been identified, but it's possible that the spike comes from constantly bending one's neck at uncomfortable angles to look at smart devices. The human head is heavy, weighting about 10 lbs. (4.5 kilograms), and tilting it forward to look at funny cat photos (or however you spend your smartphone time) can strain the neck — hence the crick people sometimes get, known as "text neck."

"Text neck" can increase pressure on the juncture where the neck muscles attach to the skull, and the body likely responds by laying down new bone, which leads to that spiky bump, Shahar told the BBC. This spike distributes the weight of the head over a larger area, he said.

These bony spikes are likely here to stay, Shahar said. Luckily, they rarely cause medical issues. If you are experiencing discomfort, however, try improving your posture, he told.

Fighting inequality and poverty requires

a more humane view of economics

January 30, 2017

World view from Davos. EPA/LAURENT GILLIERON

When influential charity Oxfam published its report, ―An Economy for the 1%‖, it was well timed to coincide with 2017’s January meeting of the world’s rich and powerful at the Swiss ski resort of Davos.

Oxfam’s findings were widely discussed, including in a weekly news magazine aimed at eight to 14-year-olds. Much of this discussion focused on the report’s headline statistics, which told us most strikingly that ―since 2015, the richest 1% has owned more wealth than the rest of the planet‖. Or that the eight richest men in the world own as much wealth as 3.6 billion people – about half of the world’s population. It also pointed out that the incomes of the poorest 10% increased by less than US$3 a year between 1988 and 2011, while the incomes of the richest 1% increased 182 times as much.

These figures are certainly startling. But in response, the Adam Smith Institute questioned Oxfam’s interpretation of the existing data and its focus on the wealth of the rich rather than the welfare of the poor. Growth in the income of those at the bottom, the related reduction in global poverty and improvements in life expectancy, were the key issues for the economic think tank.

The Adam Smith Institute is quite right to highlight the progress that has been made in reducing global inequality and poverty. The gap between the global rich and the global poor is indeed closing when all these factors are taken into account. As the expert on global inequality Branko Milanovic notes, since 2000, and for the first time in modern history, global inequality has been on the wane.

The overall level of global inequality, however, remains alarmingly high, as does income inequality within nations. Income inequality in the member states of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) for example, ―remains at record high levels despite improving employment rates. The picture outside of the OECD is similar‖. Economic growth in countries such as India, China and Brazil, has been rapid, but not inclusive.

Yet according to the World Bank, the economic development of India and China, together with Indonesia, has contributed significantly to a reduction in the number of people living globally in extreme poverty. That number is now below 800m, or 10.7% of the world’s population. Since 2008, income inequality within countries has declined in more countries than it has increased. However, the positionof those people that have been lifted out of extreme poverty is precarious. The most disadvantaged people globally, specifically women and children, have benefited little from recent progress. They remain trapped in extreme poverty.

The threat posed by inequality to the goal of ending extreme poverty by 2030 has been well highlighted. So too, has the relationship between inequality, poverty and the ―global public bads‖ of climate change, pandemics and conflict. The threat posed by inequality to the future of capitalism and the fabric of democratic society has also been recognized. So, while there has been significant progress in reducing both global inequality and global poverty, the future is uncertain and there is still work to do.
