Termites have natural predators just like many other animals. Ants are termites' main predators, destroying entire colonies when they catch them off guard during an invasion. Ant and termite colonies are frequently constructed next to one another, which can lead to conflict as both insect species compete for food. Actual "wars" can start if an ant or termite ventures into the other's territory as soldier insects plan attacks on the adversary's colony.

Here's a great advantage you can point out to make the "breast is best" zealots jealous: researchers at the Medical Research Council Epidemiology Unit in Cambridge discovered that formula-fed babies cried less, smiled and laughed more, and were easier to calm than breastfeeding babies. The ostensible reason? Breastfeeding is difficult for newborns, and some may not feel up to the endeavour and will fuss. Formula feeders have an easier difficulty filling their stomachs, so it's no surprise they're happier!

Palm wine, also known as "kallu," is a popular alcoholic spirit in Asia and Africa. It can be made from coconut palms, date palms, Chilean wine palms, and other plants. Though many palm species are strong and plentiful, as many as 100 are threatened by deforestation and unsustainable cultivation practises, such as the heart of palm, which comes from a part of the tree that cannot be regrown. The Hyophorbe amaricaulis palm tree is the most rare. The only one left now resides at the Curepipe Botanic Gardens in Mauritius .

Akira, a highly praised film, was also a significant technological success for the Japanese animation industry. It had 2,212 shots and 160,000 single images. This is around 2-3 times the cost of the average anime film. The majority of the film's scenes were planned to take place at night, which was normally avoided by animators during those days due to such sequences needing exceptionally high colour utilisation and that too with tremendous precision to make the picture seem pleasant. Akira defied all expectations by employing an incredible 327 hues throughout the picture, 50 of which were produced specifically for the film and its scene needs.

The Philological Society of London proposed the first comprehensive English language dictionary in 1857, including words from the 12th century to the present. The Philological Society joined forces with Oxford University Press in 1879, and work began. The first volume of the dictionary (A to Ant) was published by Oxford University Press in 1884, and the final volume was published in 1928. The dictionary, titled A New English Dictionary on Historical Principles, contained over 400,000 words and phrases. The Oxford English Dictionary (OED) is now one of the most respected and widely used dictionaries in the world.

"Smells Like Teen Spirit" was a furious rock anthem that exploded out of the speakers, making everything else on MTV seem puny and insignificant in comparison. The author of the song heard it differently. "It's such a perfect combination of cleanliness and nice, candy-ass production," Cobain said in an interview with biographer Michael Azerrad. "It may seem extreme to those who aren't used to it, but I think it's kind of lame."

Age Wave conducted an analysis of the money coverage in the most prominent women's publications a few years ago. Only five of the almost 1,600 editorial pages examined contained financial advice.

The brain encodes odors received via the nostrils as originating from the nose but smells detected through the back of the throat activate regions of the brain linked with signals from the mouth. Because most taste involves odor going to olfactory receptors in your brain, it stands to reason that if you can't smell, you won't be able to taste anything at all. If you can't smell because of a head cold, smoking, drug side effects, or a broken nose, your olfactory receptors may be too damaged, obstructed, or inflamed to transmit signals up to your brain.

For the longest time, it was assumed that witchcraft was primarily a female activity. However, there are male counterparts to witches, who are commonly referred to as wizards, warlocks, or sorcerers. Throughout history, countless men and women have been persecuted on suspicion of practicing witchcraft.

While most parents do everything they can to keep their children from crying, this isn't always the case in Japan. That's because it's a 400-year-old Japanese belief that if a sumo wrestler can make your baby cry, he or she will live a long and healthy life. Parents hand over their infants to sumo wrestlers during a special ceremony, who bounce their precious tots up and down and sometimes even roar in their faces to get the tears flowing. "He's not a crying baby," Mae Shige said at a 2014 event, "but today he cried a lot for us and we are very happy about it."

Spirituality involves connecting with your inner self. It’s essential to take time for yourself and reflect on who you are as a person, what makes up your personality, and how these things impact the way others perceive you! This can be done through meditation or other spiritual practices like yoga or Tai Chi.
 

Lex Luthor is the polar opposite of Superman. Instead of a living deity with limitless might, he is a normal mortal who ascended to power by his immense knowledge. That same intelligence convinces him that Superman is a menace to humanity who must be revealed and eliminated at all costs. In non-canon realities such as Injustice and the "Batman/Superman: Absolute Power" narrative, Superman becomes an absolute dictator of Earth, destroying anybody who resists his dictatorship. Even in official continuity, he has periodically succumbed to grandiose illusions that threaten to bring the entire globe under his despotic domination.

The astronomical summer began on June 21 this year, making it the first day of summer. The cosmic schedule decides the seasons because of the 23.5 levels of slant of the World's hub, in its circle around the Sun. On June 1, the meteorological summer begins. Each meteorological season lasts for three months. They are in sync with the Gregorian calendar, making it simpler to compare monthly and seasonal statistics for observing and forecasting.
 

 Rorschach invented the inkblot test, which consisted of ten splotchy cards, to detect mental disease. According to Damion Searls, author of The Inkblots, a history of Rorschach and his invention, no surviving memoranda or notes reveal Rorschach's technique for making the cards or what data or sources he may have utilized to create them. According to Searls, Rorschach subsequently stated simply that "empirical observations" guided the blots and that he had "no explanation for why the test functioned at all."

The Swedish people are big recyclers. Only 1% of garbage is thrown away, with 50% recycled or composted and 49% burnt for electricity. This may sound like good news, but it has resulted in one major issue: there isn't enough rubbish to keep the incinerators going. As a result, Sweden has devised an innovative solution. To keep the lights on, they import garbage from Norway and the United Kingdom. As an added plus, the nations actually pay Sweden to remove their rubbish!

The World Happiness Report, which strives to "redefine the growth narrative to put people's well-being at the heart of government initiatives," ranks Finland first among 156 nations, followed by Norway, Denmark, and Iceland. According to the report, Madagascar is the 14th unhappiest country in the world. It's hardly surprising that it's one of the poorest countries in the world, with a per capita GDP of $1,554 (ranking 179th out of 187 nations) and an average life expectancy of only 65.5 (in the UK, it's 81.2).
