Kim K, On High Heel With Swollen Feet (Edema), But Why Do Women Experience Edema?

 Now that's Kim K, Squeezing her feet into high heels! *Sigh* the babe no gree sha! And heels it must be!

But Why do women have swollen feet during pregnancy? The condition is called Edema.

Answer is:

During pregnancy, body fluids increase in order to nurture both mother and baby. As the body tissues accumulate and retain fluids, you may experience the swelling particularly swollen ankles and feet. Research says it’s pretty harmless and perfectly normal.

 It's also just as normal not to experience noticeable swelling (I read that 25 percent of pregnant women don't).

So that’s it! Just in case you were wondering!

Former Ryanair Air Hostess Reveals How They Were Forced To Buy Their Own £360 Uniforms and Are Forced To Take 3 months Unpaid Leave!

Ryanair’s former air hostess who was employed by Crewlink, a contractor for Ryanair, has revealed the harsh treatment she was subjected to. 

She said working conditions were 'a total nightmare'. She also described how she was forced to take three months unpaid leave a year, during winter, her contract did not allow her to take another job and she had to pay £360 for a Ryanair uniform.

This is how The Independent is reporting it:

They tend to look pretty miserable, and now perhaps we will understand why. A former member of Ryanair's cabin crew has blown the whistle on the conditions of work at Europe's largest budget airline.

Sophie Growcoot contacted her local MP to reveal that her employment contract with Crewlink, a contractor for Ryanair forced her to take three months compulsory unpaid leave a year – in the quiet winter months – during which she would be forbidden to take another job but receive no money.

Made her pay £360 for a Ryanair uniform. She had to pay another £1,800 towards a mandatory safety course.

Only paid her for the hours that she was actually "in the air". She was not paid for pre-flight briefings, turnaround time between flights, sales meetings and time on the ground due to delays and flight cancellations. The hourly flying rate was just £13.07 an hour with no contractual review for three years.

Paid her for only four days work a week. On the fifth she was expected to be on call and to turn up for work with an hour's notice. Standby days were not paid unless she was called in to work.
