The Top 10 Controversial Cast Members Of 'My 600-lb Life'
When you tune into an episode of TLC's My 600-lb Life, you know you're in for a journey. A show centered around weight loss is no doubt going to be full of drama, hard work, and inspirational stories. But some of the stories we've gotten over 10 seasons have been a bit crazier and more dramatic than others.

Villain Personality Test
Villains. The portrait of humanity's worst aspects. They represent our selfishness, our carelessness, and our deepest fears. They can be savages, dictators, or terrorists. Presidents, celebrities, or blue-collar workers. They can be outcasts or socialites, masterminds or brutes, zealots or narcissists, or maybe just someone who had a bad day. They come in so many shapes and sizes; is there a common thread between them?

The Lupi Cemetery
Wondering if “in the shadow of the cypresses and inside the urns comforted by crying the sleep of death is perhaps less hard or not”, I enter the Cimitero dei Lupi, or La Cigna Municipal Cemetery, today at the edge of the port and industrial area of the city of Livorno, near the Cigna stream, in the locality of Santo Stefano dei Lupi. The area takes its name from the Lupi’s Gronda, a vast area that in medieval times extended from Pisa to the village of Labron, so-called by the landowning family. It was precisely the edict of San Cloud, in 1804, to which Foscolo refers in the poem “I Sepolcri”, together with a concomitant yellow fever epidemic, to decree the birth of the new cemetery.

A Look At Imperialism: The Kardashian-Jenner's
I am in a graduate class called Narration of Empire, where we contemplate aspects of empire and talk about an event/conflict/or period of time through the lens of empire. Throughout my studies I have been fascinated at the relationship between popular culture and politics. Who better than the Kardashian-Jenner family to deliciously unpack the impact of cultural imperialism.

Enduring life
It is very difficult to comfort those who have lost everything and are grieving. But trying to console them would be a great task. When a person is surrounded by those who comfort him even when he has lost everything, it is a great comfort to him and lays the foundation for another new life.

Life ambition
Adults naturally say that every man should have an ambition in life. That is why many professions appear before us. The selection of some work by men as their vocation is divided into menial work and value work. The work done by those with knowledge is more valuable and the work of the ignorant is less valuable and the value of man is estimated according to his occupation.

All Quiet On The Western Front Movie Review
Of the many anti-war films, All Quiet On The Western Front from 1930 is perhaps the biggest pioneer. For the time, it was a staggering look at what was the most destructive conflict ever fought. Nearly a century later and a modern update has arrived from Germany. While it does nail the big picture, I wasn’t fully invested in this remake.
