  Your skin is your armor. Afterall, skin is the body’s largest organ, and part of its purpose is to serve as a barrier and protect us from the environment. That includes dangerous substances like toxins, germs, and bacteria. To keep our “armor” effective, we need to protect it from the harmful effects of the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays. Furthermore, healthy skin helps to regulate body temperature and keep us comfortable. Good skin also has a mental health component. It can improve our appearance and self-esteem. Dry, dull, or blemished skin can make you feel self-conscious and affect your confidence. Luckily, simple habits will keep you looking and feeling good. Tips for Healthy Skin Good skin care doesn’t have to involve a complex routine.   Basic steps go a long way to giving your skin the pampering it deserves, according to the Mayo Clinic.

  Gemini is the star sign born between 22nd May and 22nd June, and belong to the Air element of the zodiac (along with Libra and Aquarius). Their main Gemini traits are being super-fast, super-smart, super-adaptable and super-curious people. All of this super-ness makes them fascinating to be around, albeit usually only for short spells because they can a) wear you out, b) get easily distracted elsewhere and before you know it, they’re off. Geminis like variety, keeping their options open, having lots of opportunities on the go, and being ~in the know~ about anything, everything, and everyone. Notorious gossips! They are generally kind, but there is a  slither  of chilliness and detachment, created by their Air element and twin nature. You never quite know which Gemini is showing up, and there’s always one in the background taking notes, and keeping secrets. Versatile / superficial If the phrase "Jack of all trades, master of none" applied to any sign then it’s Gemini. You wi

  South Korea’s spy cam crisis, also known as the Molka crisis, persists despite the country’s democratization. Daily illegal spy cameras are placed and found throughout public spaces. These cams disproportionately target women and film their most intimate moments without consent.  The government of South Korea has responded to the issue by implementing laws and policies to deter and penalize offenders. However, failure to address underlying cultural issues allows the crisis to endure. The spy cam crisis is a product of deep-rooted sexism, and without a comprehensive government response, women will continue to suffer. Spy Cameras and Digital Sex Crimes Spy cams are tiny, easily concealed cameras that come in different forms. Some are tucked out of sight, while others are disguised as household items. Spy cams have been found in clocks, car keys, USB sticks, and paintings.  Digital sex crimes  involve taking non-consensual intimate images or videos. Victims of such crimes are often stra

  Burning Sun, a documentary by the BBC World Service’s award-winning and critically-acclaimed investigations team, BBC Eye, brings together the story of two female Korean journalists who took on the task of investigating sex scandals involving prominent K-pop stars – and paid a high personal price. The BBC Eye project earlier delivered a radio series Intrigue: Burning Sun, speaking to key players who fought to expose these crimes, and documenting the explosive fallout. Now TV documentary “Burning Sun – Exposing the secret K-pop chat groups” presents gripping first-person narratives from Seoul-based reporters, Park Hyo-sil and Kang Kyung-yoon, whose journalism revealed, at a huge personal cost, horrific sex abuse committed by seemingly wholesome heartthrobs of the K-pop world.
