It is constructed from two or more mirrors or optics, which reflect the inside objects. The reflection of the objects typically takes the form of a triangle or V due to the shape of multiple mirrors.

Melanism can be an advantageous evolutionary process. Panther facts reveal that darker members of a species are frequently more disguised and so more likely to survive and reproduce. This is especially true in some environmental environments, such as deep woodland areas with minimal light, where melanism is more widespread. Melanism is thus passed on by a dominant gene in Panthera onca, the kind of panther derived from the jaguar species. This implies that although black jaguars can have either black or spotted offspring, normal jaguars can only have spotted cubs.

Eyebrows have been known to develop extremely slowly or not at all when under stress.

The British Museum was founded in 1753 when Sir Hans Sloane left his collection to the nation. But before the Museum could open to the public, a suitable site needed to be purchased. One of the locations considered was a place called Buckingham House, which was later rebuilt as Buckingham Palace! But the Trustees agreed instead to move into Montague House, the site of the current Museum, and the rest is history! Or should that be geography?

The Indonesian flag, with a red stripe at the top and a white stripe at the bottom, does not appear to be the most inventive or thoroughly thought-out in the globe. While Poland's flag is reversed (white on top and red on the bottom), Indonesia and Monaco have flags that are nearly identical, with the exception of Indonesia's flag being somewhat broader.

Beluga whales have a low dorsal ridge but no dorsal fins. Less surface area can be used to lose heat to the environment because there is no dorsal fin. A beluga may also more easily swim beneath large ice sheets and find breathing holes without a dorsal fin.

One quiet little secret exists in Grand Central. The whispering gallery, also known as the whispering wall, is a modest secret that stands apart from the surrounding turmoil of city life. It is located on the less frenetic lower level and has no great fanfare to indicate its presence. Four arched entryways make a square shape in the whispering gallery. And if you whisper something into the arch and someone else stands 30 feet away with their ear to the arch diagonal from yours, they'll be able to clearly hear what you said — despite the distance and the acoustic deafening noise that is typical of Grand Central.

According to a study published in the journal Cephalalgia, frequent workouts work just as well as daily medicine or relaxation in preventing migraines. Three times each week, participants exercised for 40 minutes. Doctors say sweat sessions may lower stress hormones that trigger head headaches.

The human population of Australia is around 25,704,340. In 2009/2010, The Australian Govt counted 27 million kangaroos across New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, and Western Australia.

For reference, the range for being considered a genius begins at 140. Even without knowing her IQ, it's clear from her work that Plath was extremely intelligent. She was a gifted student throughout her life, winning numerous scholarships and awards — including a scholarship to Smith College.

One of the best sources of dietary antioxidants and naturally occurring nitrates is beetroot juice. Nitrates (not to be confused with nitrites!) are substances that increase blood flow to the brain, heart, and muscles as well as to other parts of the body.

Alabama residents who dress in clergy attire are thought to be breaching the law and might face a $500 fine and up to a year in jail. Reminder to self: don't dress up as a priest, rabbi, or nun on October 31 in Alabama.

Literary heritage seems to be a major theme in Plath's life. The last apartment Plath lived in had been previously owned by the renowned poet W.B. Yeats. (It was here where she died by suicide in 1963.) You can find the apartment at 3 Fitzroy Road in London.

You are reducing air pollution for everyone by keeping your automobile at home. By avoiding congested main routes when you're walking, you can make it safer for yourself. If you can't avoid a big road, however, move as far away from the kerb as you can because even a few meters can reduce your exposure to pollution.

Desi dogs are accustomed to both city and rural life, and they can live comfortably in either a farmhouse or an apartment.

Herophilus, an ancient Greek surgeon, was the first to formally refer to the pancreas as a gland in about 300 BCE. The name "pankreas," which means "all flesh," was given to the organ about 400 years later by another Greek anatomist and surgeon by the name of Ruphos. This may have been due to the absence of bone or cartilage in the organ. (Pancreata or pancreases, by the way, are the plural forms of the word pancreas.) Later, in the 16th century, the term "sweetbreads" was used to describe a dish of cooked calf or lamb pancreas. That name may have been derived from the Old English word braed, which means "flesh."

not even contemporary graffiti. The graffiti that covers Pompeii is not a result of disrespectful tourists; rather, it dates from before the eruption. Private messages, public announcements, and election notices are just a few examples of how it provides tourists and historians with a remarkable window into Roman society. On one of our Pompeii tours from Rome, you can see all of this graffiti while imagining yourself going about your daily business in an ancient city.

This is absolutely true, and you may have already noticed it if you've ever tried to feed a dog that is wary of people. He or she will put their tail between their hind legs out of fear, which is an obvious sign that they are frightened and do not like your approach. Simply be patient in this case, or put the food down and leave the vicinity; they will eat it later. When fighting with other dogs, they frequently tuck their tails between their back legs.

The owners of Swiggy have not indicated any desire to file an IPO and take the company public. The funding that it currently receives from its venture capital investors is more than enough to fully fund all of Swiggy’s expansion efforts. Swiggy may remain one of India’s largest privately-owned companies as there is no need for it to offer shares on the public stock exchange markets. We fully expect to see Swiggy continue to grow and expand throughout India, and perhaps other parts of the world in the years to come.

Nevermind debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 album chart on January 11, 1992. The album dethroned Michael Jackson's Dangerous, which had held the number one spot for four weeks in a row. Nevermind was dethroned a week later by country superstar Garth Brooks' Ropin' the Wind, the year's top album. Nevermind remained at the top of the charts for one more week in February 1992, just before Brooks took over for another eight weeks.

Every time rattlesnakes molt after growing out of their previous skin, their bodies automatically add another segment to their rattles. However, because parts of the rattle frequently break off as they become older, this does not always indicate that you can determine a rattler's age by the length of its tail.

Travelers know the confusion when arriving in a country that’s in a different time zone. You tend to either gain or lose a few hours. Myanmar is a little different. Rather than adjusting their clock to correspond with the gain or loss of a whole hour, like most countries, they do it with 30-minute intervals. The official time zone is GMT +6.30. Very few countries in the world do it in this way making Myanmar somewhat unique.

Menstrual disturbance in PCOS could range from absent menstrual cycles, decreased flow during menses, delayed menarche, or heavy and irregular periods.

Cashew trees (Anacardium Occidentale) are exotic evergreen trees with uneven trunks that may reach a height of 14 meters (46 feet). The cashew tree, which is native to Brazil and Southeast Asia but is now planted in many nations throughout the world, bears red blooms from which the fruit grows.

Lyndon B. Johnson, ever the joker, would surprise guests at his Texas ranch by driving them down the hill in his Amphicar, pretending the brakes had failed. When it struck the lake, their fear would dissipate as they learned the automobile was built to work in water.
