What does breast milk have that formula does not? Antibodies from the mother, which can aid in the battle against illnesses. This could explain why, according to one study, 86 percent of breastfed babies survive to the age of one without becoming ill, while only 14 percent of formula-fed babies do.

Halloween evolved from the Celtic festival of Samhain, which marked the end of the Celtic calendar year in Ireland, Scotland, and the Isle of Man. They believed it was a time when spirits or fairies could enter our world, and the Celts would set out treats and food to appease the spirits - sometimes, a place at the table was even set for the souls of the dead. Wiccans continue to celebrate Samhain as a New Year's Eve celebration today.

He perished in a strange jet crash en route to Vienna for a meeting of the International Atomic Energy Agency's Scientific Advisory Committee. Conspiracy theorists say he was murdered by the CIA in order to thwart India's nuclear program. Lal Bahadur Shashtri dies of a heart attack on January 10, 1966, in Tashkent. His wife believed he was poisoned, but no medical investigation was conducted into his death. Bhabha died exactly 14 days later. Decades later, an unexplained succession of deaths among India's nuclear specialists continues to this day.

Although you might consider it a vegetable, it's a fruit. B vitamins, beta carotene, and 52 mg of vitamin C, almost twice as much as you need each day, are all present in one medium pepper.

Since roughly 600 B.C., when a child has paraded around in a basket in honour of Dionysus, the god of fertility, an infant has been a symbol of the occasion (and wine). The infant symbolises the rebirth that occurs at the beginning of each new year.

For generations, the British Royal Family has used Welsh gold for their wedding rings. The custom was carried forward at the royal wedding of the Duke (the future Prince of Wales) and Duchess of Cambridge in 2011.

World War I was a disaster on scales that most of us alive now cannot understand. What about this as an example? The total number of fatalities. France lost about 1,360,000 men during World War I. In comparison, the United States has reported around 1,350,000 military casualties in total throughout all wars since 1775.

As the adage goes, opposites attract. And research shows that this is partially correct. Couples who are too similar or too different do not last long. Apparently, there must always be a foundation of similarities, but there must also be things that the two of you learn from each other.

When our airways are too small to allow the air to leave our lungs quickly enough, we develop asthma, and wheezing is the result of the air becoming turbulent when it is expelled too quickly. Comparable like switching from a regular drinking straw to a thin cocktail straw: considerably more difficult to transport fluids. However, a number of factors, such as having narrower airways at birth or experiencing inflammation or mucus when ill, can also cause that narrowing. Kids' airways expand as they get older. This frequently helps with asthma problems.

Flamingos can fly up to 600 kilometres at a speed of 50–60 kph thanks to their dimensions and light body bulk.

In 2016, Starbucks announced a plan to donate 100% of its leftover food to feed the hungry. The plan was going to affect all 7,000 US locations. They partnered with Feeding America to donate unsold meals, like sandwiches and salads, and it was all due to their baristas speaking up. 

The age of language is still a point of contention. Nonetheless, most linguists agree that it started around the time modern humans (homo sapiens) evolved in Africa with modern skull shapes and vocal cords. Language evolved with the right tools in place — a large enough skull, a brain, and a voice box. Some anthropologists speculate that language may have evolved prior to the physiological development of modern brains and larynxes, but 100,000 BC is a good starting point

In 2019, Sport England conducted a poll of 130,000 children and discovered that, from the ages of five to seven, girls were considerably less likely to participate in team sports, while saying they enjoyed being active.

Japan paid a million yen to a team of scientists who claimed to develop a "death ray" that would use wave electric power to kill persons standing kilometres away, based on Nikola Tesla's ideas. The Japanese got as far as developing a prototype that could kill from half a mile away—but the victim had to stay motionless for 10 minutes for it to operate.

The Amazon River is the second longest river in the world. It stretches for around 6,400 kilometers/4,000 miles. The river runs through Peru, Colombia, and Brazil before entering the Atlantic Ocean.

Daniel Peter, a Swiss chocolatier and entrepreneur, spent eight years attempting to perfect a milk chocolate formula. It wasn't until 1875 that he recognized condensed milk was the solution to all of his problems. We're delighted Daniel didn't give up!

The text's vocabulary consists of only 50 different words, the result of a bet between Seuss and Bennett Cerf (Dr. Seuss's publisher) that Seuss could not complete an entire book without exceeding that limit (after completing The Cat in the Hat with 236 words). The 50 words are as follows: a, am, and, anywhere, are, be, boat, box, car, could, dark, do, eat, eggs, fox, goat, good, green, ham, here, house, I, if, in, let, like, may, me, mouse, not, on, or, rain, Sam, say, see, so, thank, that, them, there, they, train, tree, try, will, with, would, you

In their typical poses, flamingos tuck one foot under their body. It has not been proven, but one theory contends that they do it to retain body heat in the chilly water of their feeding areas. Surprisingly, a study revealed that this behaviour does not result in muscle strain in their legs, meaning they

The Earth has seen a number of mass extinctions. When the previous one occurred 66 million years ago, dinosaurs were extinct. The scientific community agrees that it occurred as a result of the effects of a 10-kilometer asteroid hitting the Yucatan Peninsula. Upon impact, a 180 km crater was left. Due to the chemical makeup of the soil, it is thought that an asteroid, not a comet, killed the dinosaurs.

Alcohol sales are not permitted in Qatari stadiums during the FIFA World Cup 2022. After 7 o'clock, beer will only be sold in fan zones and hospitality boxes. Additionally prohibited inside stadiums are things made of pork, balloons, loud musical instruments, pride flags, and cigarettes.

According to the CDC, approximately 7% of children between the ages of 3 and 17 years old have been diagnosed with anxiety. Since children are still developing their verbal skills they can’t say, “I have anxiety” or “I’m really worried.”
Instead, their anxiety shows up in complaints such as stomach aches, headaches, or behavioral issues like temper tantrums. Other common anxiety symptoms in children include restlessness, inattention, avoidance, and frequent meltdowns. Sadly, these symptoms often get misdiagnosed as ADHD – and then medicated. 

We also learned that despite economic rough waters throughout India and the rest of the world, Swiggy’s numbers continue to climb. This is likely because of the additional services that it has provided in recent expansions. As of the last count, Swiggy received just under 2 million visits to its website in the last 30 days. The average monthly visits for services is just under 11 million. On average, Swiggy has experienced a monthly growth rate of 1.64 percent, which is fairly remarkable as it translates into increased revenues and profitability.

An orange tabby cat called Stubbs was the mayor of Talkeetna, a small town in Alaska for 20 years! He had several uncontested elections and although he didn’t hold any legislative power, he was loved by locals and tourists alike.

Few visitors to Budapest are aware of the little church on the rock beneath Gellert Hill in Budapest Old Town. Despite being surrounded by so many grandiose churches, Sziklatemplom ('Rock Church') is relatively unknown. If you happen to be near the Liberty Bridge (the green metal one), you can visit this strange chapel founded in 1926 by a group of Pauline monks. The Cave Church (which is still in use) is not spectacular, but it is charming in its own right. Off the beaten path, but worth a 30-minute detour.
