In Germany, the desire to pursue freedom in every way possible is regarded as a primal human instinct. Therefore, if a prisoner makes an attempt to escape, they won't face further penalty for the action itself. However, the prisoner will face charges for any crimes they commit while trying to flee, including any property damage, personal injury, murder, or other offences.

Some of the rocks date back more than 540 million years. The rocks along the Russian Platform date back to the Precambrian epoch, the earth's first aeon. This epoch spanned from the birth of the solar system 4.6 billion years ago through the emergence of the first multicellular creatures. To put it into perspective, the ancient rocks in the Black Sea existed for about 300 years before dinosaurs were on the scene.

When you sit quietly and imagine the accomplishment of your goals while looking at your vision boards, you are actually boosting your capacity to focus. You are no longer constrained by the constraints of your day. The more you visualise, the more focused you will be. We are all aware that concentration is critical in today's environment. Every day will present you with numerous distractions and disruptions. One reason people fail to reach their goals is that they become distracted by their daily lives, eventually forgetting about their ambitions and being lost in their busy lives. This is why you need a vision board to guide you through the tornado of daily life.

You said you'd check your Facebook alerts immediately, but 15 minutes later you're still scrolling? You're not by yourself. Part of this is due to endless scroll: when you can stay on the site without engaging or clicking, your brain does not receive the "stop" message.

College basketball is still one of the most popular sports, but many remember the 1979 NCAA tournament game between Michigan State and Indiana State as one of the best-rated events in the sport's history. This game marked the beginning of having basketball greats and NBA stars as a clash between Magic Johnson and Larry Bird, who had never played each other before to this tournament.

A conspiracy theorist could be accused of wearing a tinfoil hat. If so, you should credit Aldous Huxley's brother, Julian, for popularising the concept in his 1926 short tale, The Tissue-Culture King. In it, Huxley's characters realize that metal is excellent at preventing telepathy efforts and make "metal foil hats" for themselves.

Every country has a few outdated laws which didn't quite catch up with the times, but some of the laws in Bangkok will really leave you scratching your head as to the reason they were formulated in the first place. You might inadvertently commit a crime if you:

-Leave the house without wearing underwear 
-Drive a motorized vehicle bare-chested
-Use a durian fruit as a weapon; the fine levied will be determined according to the number of thorns that strike the victim
-Step on the currency, as it contains the image of the King and must not be disrespected 

 

August is the most common birth month in the United States, according to a 2017 data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

So there you have it, summertime is not only a popular period for weddings but also for having children.

There are numerous competing theories. One idea holds that because people are more likely to drink lots of water on a hot summer day, they absorb more nutrients during the summer. Another idea holds that because exposure to sunlight increases the production of vitamin D in your body, your nails grow more quickly as a result.

If you ask someone to list three things that are uniquely Russian, they will most likely mention cold, communism, and, of course, vodka. It should come as no surprise that the Russians were overjoyed when the Third Reich fell after being punched almost all the way to Moscow by the Nazis and battling their way back to Berlin. The Soviet Union was enveloped in jubilation and street celebrations that lasted for days and days — even non-drinkers regarded this as reason enough to join in the fun. That is, until the nation's vodka stockpiles were depleted. Only 22 hours after the festivities began. The countrywide hangover has now begun...

The purchase of Core's parent company by Eidos Interactive in 1996 was the final step in Lara's evolution. Laura Cruz was replaced because Eidos wanted the game to appeal to a wider audience in the United Kingdom. So, how did they come up with Lara's new surname in the United Kingdom? The Core team in Derby, England, took out a phone book and began looking for names that sounded similar to Laura Cruz. They landed on Lara Croft, and all of a sudden, some random Derbyite became famous.

Stockholm, Sweden's capital city, has rich of beautiful architecture. However, one of the most spectacular sites is found underground! Around 90% of the Stockholm metro stations have been decorated, resulting in one of the most unique art galleries in the world.

Because Uranus rotates on its side, something large may have collided with it in the past. Its magnetic north and south are likewise opposed to its polar north and south. Overall, this has some strange seasonal consequences. Consider a planet in which the south pole is aimed at the sun and the north pole is wrapped in darkness. That was the situation faced by Voyager 2 on its 1986 visit.

There's a reason why it's called the "sunshine vitamin." According to Harvard Health Publishing, a molecule in your skin converts to vitamin D3 when the sun's ultraviolet B light strikes you. Your kidneys receive vitamin D3 from your liver and convert it into an active form that can be utilised by your body.

It's probably pretty simple for you to picture what you think of as an igloo, yet this is not the true definition of the word. The word "igloo" refers to any sort of dwelling, even though some Inuit currently do or have lived in the dome-shaped structures made almost entirely of snow and ice. Consequently, your home, whether it be a chateau in Europe or a studio apartment, is an igloo.

Many claims that before lighting a candle, it will survive longer if it is frozen. Sorry, but that is untrue news!The candle is harmed by freezing because the wax actually 

After the success of the 2007 film telling the story of the lovable, culinary-inspired vermin, kids everywhere asked their parents, "Can we get one? I promise I'll take care of it." At least one domestic pet chain saw sales of pet rats jump 50 percent after the movie's release. We wonder how many of those rats immediately became parental responsibilities…

Because of Halloween, the candy industry in America earns an average of $2 billion per year (that's 90 million pounds of chocolate). According to History.com, Americans spend an estimated $6 billion on Halloween each year, which includes candy, costumes, and decorations. (Of course, Christmas is the most commercial holiday in the United States.)

Boys do not have the same innate tendency for reflection that girls do. Don't get me wrong: males of all ages have the ability to reflect on their behaviours, values, and lives (as they get older), but they need the right environment to do so. Boys can let their thoughts wander around inside their heads during quiet and down time. It also helps them get to know, and even like, themselves. Boys often think best on their own, so they tend to retreat to their caves (bedrooms) when things go wrong at school or in their relationships. They must look within themselves to find their own solution.

Sounds little shocking but the word 'candy' has been originated from the Sanskrit word 'Khanda' which means, a piece of sugar. Then years later, the Arabic word 'qandi' stepped one step closer. And hence, candies began to call so in the 13th century.

People visit Lavender Town to bury their departed Pokemon. The town was deemed one of the creepiest areas in the mainstream games due to its vibe. According to legend, Japanese youngsters committed suicide as a result of the music's hypnotic and devastating effects.

In 2007, the Yonsei Medical Journal published a major example of scientific support for the Law of Attraction. Ji Young Jung et al., from Korea, discovered a high link between optimistic thinking and overall life happiness in the population.

"These findings suggest the promise of positive thinking as a method for psychological interventions aiming to increase life satisfaction," the authors of the medical journal paper wrote.
