If you have an interest in natural remedies, it's likely that you're familiar with (and probably a little intimidated by) fresh aloe vera.

Luckily, removing aloe gel from a freshly cut leaf isn't as hard as you might imagine. With a little practice and patience, you can unravel the wonders of this nifty — and tbh, sorta scary looking — plant.

1. Start by removing the tip of the leaf.

2. Next, slice off the spikes on both sides.

3. And finally, remove the skin layers on the top and bottom of the leaf.

Welsh Monsters & Mythical Beasts Watercolor Artwork Collette J Ellis

I'd love to introduce you to my latest art book which has been over four years in the making. 'Welsh Monsters & Mythical Beasts' is an illustrated compendium exploring the mythical creatures of Wales, comprised of ink and watercolors. You may have heard of the Red Dragon (Ddraig Goch) featured on the national flag of Wales. Sadly, here in Wales, many of our other beasts are being forgotten. I felt to sad to see that my culture is loosing such an amazing array of creatures and legends that surround them. Therefore, I decided to bring them back to the forefront of Welsh culture and introduce them to a new generation by sharing our rich mythology with the world. I'm so excited about this art book, there's so much contend and so many unique creatures, I hope you will love it too!

What Prison Cells Look Like Around The World

More and more people are behind bars. According to the Institute for Criminal Policy Research , over 10.35 million individuals are being held in penal institutions throughout the world, either as pre-trial detainees/remand prisoners or having been convicted and sentenced. In comparison to the year 2000, the total number of women serving time has increased about 50% while the male prison population has grown by about 18%. But prison population rates vary considerably all around the globe. For instance, the United States have 698 inmates for every 100,000 citizens while Denmark has 61. And there are more differences, too. A prisoner in one place might have access to musical instruments and video games but might be fighting over a roll of toilet paper in another. Apegeo  has collected photos of cells from all over to show how different countries treat their criminals, and the contrast is eye-opening. The prison cells in this list vary from low security to max security, and while they ...
