You can lose weight with "turmeric latte"!

Popping up on Pinterest more than ever before, turmeric is the newest “it” spice among healthy foodies. Here, the tastiest way to harness the spice's superpowers to lose 10 pounds—fast!

According to Pinterest’s 2016 Pinsights Flavor Report, the pumpkin spice latte is no longer the coolest kid in school. Not only is it filled with shady ingredients, it's more sugar-coated than a prom queen’s acceptance speech—and the nutrition nerds of the internet (ourselves included) are calling its bluff. If you find it hard to believe that the PSL is falling out of favor, the numbers speak for themselves. Pins of the infamous sugary beverage are down 15 percent, while a healthy yet comforting newcomer is quickly becoming the most popular beverage on the social sharing site. And yes, that newcomer is none other than the turmeric latte, a milk and spice-filled beverage that some fans refer to as golden milk. According to the report, pins for turmeric lattes are up a whopping 99 percent, with users saving twice as many turmeric latte pins than its sugary, caffeinated rival.

Although golden milk may look like a PSL on the outside, when it comes to what it can do for you on the inside, it totally smokes the seasonal beverage. Unlike the Starbucks favorite, turmeric lattes aren’t golden because of potentially cancerous additives like caramel coloring; instead, the spice’s main antioxidant, curcumin, lends the drink its rich amber color as well as all of its amazing health and weight loss benefits. One USDA study discovered that mice supplemented with turmeric experienced reduced weight gain and body fat levels even when their diet was unchanged. And if that wasn’t impressive enough, numerous other reports have connected consumption of the spice to everything from reduced inflammation to improved brainpower.

So next time a colorful PSL ad tries to lure you into Starbucks, be kind to your wallet and waistline and cozy up on the couch with a turmeric latte instead. To make one, combine your milk of choice (we like coconut milk or organic 2%) with a teaspoon of dried turmeric. Bring the two to a low simmer and then add in other tasty seasonings like cinnamon, nutmeg, or even a chai spice blend, to taste. Sipping your way slim has never been easier— or tastier!

Spy pigeon from Pakistan intercepted in Punjab village!

With Indo-Pak tensions at an all-time high after the Uri attack, public hysteria is evident with conversations about the prospect of nuclear war being regularly featured night after night on prime time TV.

Amidst nuclear apocalypse scenarios and calls for war, a significant story was almost lost in the pandemonium. A couple of days ago, Indian authorities apprehended a "spy" from Pakistan.

The extraordinary "spy" was caught carrying messages inscribed on its body written in Urdu at Motla village in Punjab late Thursday.

What makes the story more interesting is the fact that this spy was in fact a pigeon.

A concerned citizen – Naresh Kumar, thankfully informed the police that the sickly pigeon had landed on his house. The police were quick to apprehend the bird and kick-start the investigation.

After summoning a translator who could read Urdu, the bird was sent through an X-Ray to see if something was hidden inside it.

Mukerian Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Bhupinder Singh said that only names of the days were stamped on it. "We sent the bird for an X-ray to verify if something was hidden inside but nothing suspicious was found. As a precaution, we are keeping the avian in our custody for the time being," Singh was quoted as saying by Hindustan Times.

This, however, is not the first time that India has apprehended a Pakistani "spy" pigeon.

A "spy" pigeon was similarly intercepted in March 2015. The pigeon was believed to have crossed over from Pakistan and was discovered by 14-year-old boy in Punjab's Pathankot district who rushed his findings to the police.

Police were suspicious after seeing a message in Urdu and numbers that they believed were part of a landline telephone number in Pakistan's Narowal district. But after it was x-rayed, nothing more was found.

Twitter, however, had a field day after learning that Pakistan's choice of spy mode is a pigeon.

Terrifying 33-ft giant anaconda discovered in Brazil!

Construction workers discovered a giant snake measuring 33-feet (10-metre) long at a construction site in Brazil. The giant anaconda, weighing 400 kg, was found after an explosion was carried out in the Cave of Altamira located in the Brazilian state of Pará.

A video, which was recorded by the construction worker, shows the snake's giant body that will remind you of the movie Anaconda, starring Jennifer Lopez and Jon Voight. The snake's body measures one metre in diameter.

The workers chained the anaconda to a crane and later lifted it up to show onlookers its yellow spotted underbelly. However, it is unclear whether they killed the anaconda or not.

Meanwhile, the footage showing the chained snake received criticism on video sharing platform YouTube. Several users slammed the workers for killing the snake.

"Why on Gods Earth have these men killed this poor beautiful creature. This makes me furious! We just don't deserve to be on this planet," one user commented on YouTube.

"Oh, we've found a rare huge snake, possibly one of the last of this size in the wild. I know let's kill it and get some pics," another user commented.

"Of course they killed it, What are they supposed to do, just "hold on to it" for 3 days while someone Flys out to some Remote area in the Amazon to Tranq it? Bahaa....A snake that large is a Major threat, those guys working there lose animals and family members to snakes and Crocs every year....the ain't letting that thing get away. Many of those locations are extremely remote, phones dont work, takes DAYS to get out there....they have literally No Choice," a user commented in support of the workers.

At present, the longest snake mentioned in the Guinness World Record is Medusa, a snake in Kansas City, US, which measures 25 ft 2in long.

Flight attendants share their unexpressed opinions!

To keep their jobs, there are some things flight attendants just can't tell passengers, even if they want to.

But some of these things, while perhaps controversial, could end up being a service to fliers or flight attendants, if only someone would just tell passengers.

So we asked flight attendants everywhere to weigh in on the one thing they'd love to tell passengers but can't, and more than 60 shared their insights.

We've anonymously included some of the more constructive thoughts here:

'Be considerate'

"It's not all about you."

'If your flight is delayed, you'll probably miss your connecting flight'

"They will not hold your connection, ever."

'No, you can't have three different drinks'

"Don't you see the 100 other people waiting for us?"

'Public transportation isn't for everyone'

"If you have such high demands you should consider getting your own plane."

'I'm not talking to hear myself speak'

"I'm tasked with carrying out the rules and regulations set forth by FAA. I risk a possible fine if I don't do what I am tasked to do. There is always a reason we say the things we say."

'Plan for delays'

"Why did you think it was a good idea to book your connecting flight 30 minutes after your first flight?"

'Griping to crew about things they can't control changes nothing'

"You're venting, which is fine. But it won't change anything. Speak to the folks who make the decisions and the big bucks. We didn't choose the wifi system. We didn't choose the leg room. We didn't choose to charge for certain things. I'd love to have it all free and roomy and completely reliable!"

'Behave yourself'

"You are sitting next to a Federal Air Marshal, so put away that tequila you bought in Duty Free."

'We wish we were staffed better so we could give you the service you deserve'

"If it seems like we are forgetting about you, we are not. We just have minimum crew. Usually we are staffed with one flight attendant for every 50 passengers. We need better staffing."

'An airplane is not a grocery store'

"We are 30,000 feet in the air — we have what we have today."

'You're not the only one …'

"I'm afraid of turbulence, too."

'I'm here to save your ass …'

"… not kiss it."

'You could get arrested for doing whatever you want'

"US law requires compliance with lighted and posted signs and crew member instructions.

'The seats are not getting smaller'

"You are getting bigger."

'We ran out of chicken …'

"... not fuel!"

'Keep your shoes on'

"Don't walk around the bathroom and aircraft without shoes on — its filthy."

'I am not your servant'

"I'm not your maid or your waitress or your babysitter, either."

'Just because you're in business or first class does not make you royalty!

"And the guy in the back also paid for a ticket and deserves my time as well."

'Clean up after yourself'

"Don't leave your area a mess. Internationally they give you a blanket in a plastic bag. Use the bag to put your trash in."

'You're in close quarters'

"Take a shower before you fly."

'Get over it!'

"You're in a metal tube hurtling though the air at 600 miles per hour at 38,000 feet — you should be amazed and thrilled, not bitching that you don't have a TV screen to shove your face into for the next two hours."

'Please use your manners'

"It's amazing how many passengers will not say 'please' or 'thank you.' Oftentimes they will barely look up at you. It's very very rude and probably my biggest pet peeve. I'm here to offer you something, Please acknowledge me. Common courtesy is a thing of the past."
