1．Instagram is a fast，beautiful and fun way to share your life with friends and family．Take a picture or video，choose a filter to transform its look and feel，and then post to Instagram-it's that easy．You can even share to Facebook．Twitter and more．It's a new way to see the world．So many photos of food are contained on Instagram-now a pop-up diner in London is taking advantage of this new trend by letting people settle the bill for their meals simply by uploading photos of their dishes to social networks．
I always thought people's taking pictures of their food was kind of silly，but at this new pop-up restaurant in the UK，I'd probably do it too．"The Picture House"is the world's first pay-by-photo restaurant-you order，click a photo of the food，share on Instagram and eat for free!
The restaurant belongs to frozen food giant Birds Eye，who came up with the idea to cash in on people's addiction with photographing food and sharing the pictures online．They conducted a survey and found out that more than half of the British population regularly took pictures of their meals．So they realized it was a better way to advertise their new dining range．
The pop-up diner was open in Soho，London for three days in May，and is now moving to other major UK cities．They serve two-course meals that customers don't have to pay for，if they photo and lnstagram it．
The restaurant is a part of Birds Eye's"Food for Life"campaign，a new marketing project that aims at changing the way people look at frozen food．"Taking photos of food enables people to show off and to share their mealtime moments-from the everyday to the special，"said marketing director Margaret Jobling．
The reaction to The Picture House has been great so far And the pay-by-picture concept has proven to be an effective way．Alternative payment methods are actually gaining popularity among a lot of businesses．Last year in a cafe in Germany customers pay by how much time they spend there，not by what they eat．

11．Do you now who Stefani Germanotta is？Perhaps not，but you'll almost certainly know the star called Lady Gaga，a 24-year-old American famous for her cutting edge pop videos and strange fashion sense．She was the biggest winner at the MTV Europe Music Awards in Madrid on November 7，2010．Her awards included the best female artist and the best song．
Her popularity doesn't end there．The BBC reports that the University of South Carolina has a sociology course about the life，work and rise to fame of Lady Gaga．The course is due to start in spring 2011．"We're going to look at Lady Gaga as a social event，"said professor Mathieu，who will teach Lady Gaga and the Sociology of Fame．
Germanotta，in fact，is a college student．She learned to play the piano by age 4．At age 17，she was one of the only 20young people to get early admission to New York University's Tisch School of the Arts，the famous music school．Yet after her second semester，she took a big risk-she decided to quit and concentrate on a music career．But hwo did she manage to go from nowhere to supar star in just two years？
She may well have had a plan for the top．She created"The Ultimate Pop Burlesque Show"with another artist．It was the first of many strange images．The pair gained enough attention to get a spot at a famous music festival in Chicago．Later，a record company signed Germanotta．

12．In their book Time to Eat the Dog：The Real Guide to Sustainable Living，Robert and Brenda Vale say keeping a medium?sized dog has the same ecological impact as driving 10，000km a year in a 4.6liter Land Cruiser．
"We're not actually saying it is time to eat the dog．We're just saying that we need to think about and know the ecological impact of some of the things we do and that we take for granted．"
Constructing and driving the jeep for a year requires 0.41hectares of land，while growing and manufacturing a dog's food takes about 0.84hectares-or 1.1hectares in the case of a large dog such as a German shepherd．
Convincing flesh?eating cats and dogs to go vegetarian for the sake of the planet is a non?starter，the Vales say．Instead they recommend keeping"greener"，smaller，and more sustainable pets，such as goldfish，chickens or rabbits．
The book's playful title，and serious suggestion that pet animals may be usefully"recycled"，by being eaten by their owners or turned into pet food when they die，may not appeal to animal fans．
Annoying as the idea may be，the question is valid given the planet's growing population and limited resources，Robert Vale said．
"Issues about sustainability are increasingly becoming things that are going to require us to make choices which are as difficult as eating your dog．It's not just about changing your light bulbs or taking a cloth bag to the supermarket，"he said．
"It's about much more challenging and difficult issues，"he added．"Once you see where cats and dogs fit in your overall balance of things，you might decide to have the cat but not also to have the two cars and the three bathrooms and be a meat eater yourself．"
