If you regularly use the service on a computer, you can get to the hidden menu by pressing Shift + Alt and then clicking with your left mouse. This opens a troubleshooting menu where you can alter the bit rate of the show or movie you're watching so it doesn't buffer. While this may result in a decrease in video quality, some users prefer it to continuously seeing the buffering symbol on the screen.

Although butterscotch has no toxins, the candy is high in sugar and preservatives, which dogs do not require in their diet.

Queen Victoria may have been one of the longest reigning monarchs, but she was also one of the luckiest. On at least eight occasions—most of them while riding in her open carriage—would-be assassins tried to kill her. She also had a stalker. A man by the name of Edward Jones broke into the royal residence at Buckingham Palace several times and was eventually caught—but not before he sat on her throne and stole her underwear.

Because the hair is treated, clip-ins are regarded as relatively easy to shape and keep curls. This helps to keep your hair in place and voluminous during a fun-filled day or night out. To keep your lovely locks in place, apply suitable heat protectant spray and hair spray. A wonderful technique for long-lasting curls is to pin each curled clip-in for as long as possible before going out (maybe even do this the night before). On the day of the event, curl your natural hair as desired, remove the huge hair clips keeping the wefts in place, and attach your clip-ins.

During World War I, there was a cotton scarcity, therefore Kimberly-Clark created a thin, flat cotton replacement that the army sought to employ as a filter in gas masks. Because the war ended before scientists were able to perfect the material for gas masks, the firm redesigned it to be smoother and softer, then sold Kleenex as facial tissue instead.

Sorry to disappoint, but 'black' roses do not exist. What is sometimes called a black rose is actually a dark red rose. A good example is "The Black Rose of Turkey," which appears pitch-black to the naked eye but is actually a dark reddish-crimson color. Roses do not naturally contain true-blue pigments. There are many good purples among the old roses, and hundreds of excellent mauves and lilacs were introduced in the 1950s and 1960s as an unanticipated result of vigour breeding (think Sterling Silver, Lavender Dream, and Lilac Charm). Rhapsody in Blue, a vigorous shrub with smoky-purple flowers, is one of today's most popular roses, but it's not the only one.

After Governor William Bradford Ross died, his wife took over as governor. Nellie Tayloe Ross served the remainder of her husband's term, from 1925 to 1927. Nellie Tayloe Ross was Wyoming's 14th governor, and she is the state's only female governor to this day.

The country is home to over 250 species of flora and fauna, including 870 species of birds (roughly 8% of the world's total), 650 species of butterflies, and the world's largest moths and honeybees. The Chitwan National Park is a protected area for endangered and rare animals like Asia's one-horned rhinoceros and the Royal Bengal Tiger.

Probiotics are thought to be responsible for 70–80% of our immune response, according to Casey Adams, Ph.D. Probiotics activate everything from macrophages to T lymphocytes. To help the immune system work together, probiotics also stimulate cytokines and phagocytic cells.

The root portion was utilized as a medication in the past to alleviate painful conditions like headaches and toothaches, rather than for cooking.
 

The iguana has a third eye called the parietal eye. This pale-colored eye is positioned on the top of the head. It cannot distinguish between forms or colours, but it can detect light and movement. This allows the iguana to detect predatory birds from above.

Surgery is used to treat hernias. And mesh is typically used during surgery, which frequently raises questions from my patients. I explain to them that the mesh is not in contact with their internal organs because it is positioned outside of the belly cavity. The goal of the mesh is to encourage the growth of scar tissue within the mesh so that it forms a reinforcing layer over the weakest area.

After Perseus returned to Seriphos, his mission was complete. There was no reason for him to carry Medusa’s head any longer. Besides, Athena was now interested in it. The goddess of wisdom took the head of her sworn enemy and placed it either on her Aegis (shield) or armor. This way she appropriated Medusa’s powers and proclaimed her triumph.

Athena, a goddess of civilization and an idealized role model for the virtuous woman within the patriarchal Greek society, had finally exterminated the threat of the dangerous Medusa, a symbol of the power of the natural and the feminine.

Elizabeth White, a cranberry farmer's daughter, and USDA botanist Frederick Coville started domesticating wild blueberries in New Jersey, USA. Blueberries became popular all over the world by the 1930s.

Starbucks was chosen as a component in the Index because it is the world's most widely distributed, premium-priced coffee chain, and so provides an intriguing economic barometer comparing countries. The price differential for a Grande Latte varied from £1.21 in Brazil to £5.72 in Switzerland, representing a roughly 400% price increase.

If you notice yourself becoming more upbeat during the warmer months, you are not alone. For a 2011 study published in the journal Science, researchers examined the tweets of 2.4 million people from around the world over a two-year period. They discovered that when the change in daylight was positive (i.e., as the summer solstice approached), users tweeted considerably happier tweets than when the change in daylight was negative (i.e., as the winter solstice approached).

You're probably wondering how to pronounce "ashwagandha" when you first encounter it. However, it is not as complicated as you may believe. Although it may appear strange, it has a meaning. It means "horse odour" in Sanskrit. This is because the roots of ashwagandha have an odd, disagreeable odour similar to that of a horse. Furthermore, this plant is related with horses because it is recognised for giving individuals energy and power similar to horses.

 The lack of natural predators in their usurped habitat is why sea lampreys have been so successful in their penetration into the Lakes. This increases the urgency with which the administration must cope with the invasion.

Brixton Road in London exceeded the year's total air pollution restrictions just five days into the new year. According to EU air pollution regulations, monitoring stations cannot record unusually high levels of nitrogen dioxide at any one place more than 18 times each year. But on January 5, 2017, Brixton Road in London went beyond this restriction for the 19th time. Other places in London, such as Putney High Street and Brompton Road in Knightsbridge, soon followed.

Arnold Schwarzenegger really got a good deal when he signed on for Terminator 2: Judgement Day. The Austrian Oak was paid the huge sum of $15 million. Arnie only speaks 700 words in the blockbuster hit, which equates to $21,428 per word. It might seem excessive, but considering the film went on to make around $520 million worldwide, it seems like a smart investment by the studio. 

 

Karl Schwanzer, an Austrian architect, created the BMW headquarters in Munich, which took four years to complete. Construction lasted from 1968 to 1972, with the goal of finishing in time for the 1972 Summer Olympics. The building, which is located close to Olympiapark, has served as the BMW headquarters since 1972. The design is inspired by a BMW engine, with four towers signifying four engine cylinders. The four interconnecting towers are hung on top of a single foundation. The building has a total of 22 stories, 18 of which are utilised as office space.
