Color is one of the most dignified characteristics that define a crystal, aside from mineral quality and structure. The colour also defines the type of stone and how it can be used. Pink or green crystals, for example, including the famous rose quartz, are used for emotional healing, whereas other colours are useful and applied elsewhere. Before purchasing a crystal, it may be beneficial to better understand its colour and application so that you get the most out of it.

While Hollywood extols the virtues of Spartan culture, the world's first human rights charter is thought to have been drafted by the Persians (or at least something very similar to the scope of human rights, as believed by both the British Museum and United Nations). Since it is essentially a cylinder-shaped piece of baked clay with engraved Akkadian writing from 539 BC, this charter is more commonly referred to as the Cyrus Cylinder. When King Cyrus' army entered Babylon and peacefully overcame the legendary city, he gave the order to create the artefact. The ancient writings on the tablet primarily speak about equality for people of all races, religions, and languages.

Why are chia seeds so well-liked right now? One important factor might be their status as nutritional powerhouses: Chia seeds have a caloric content of 69 calories per tablespoon (tbsp).

Beggars' Night was held the night before Halloween in Des Moines for young children. According to a Des Moines Register article, the event began around 1938 as a way to prevent vandalism and provide a safer way for younger children to celebrate Halloween. Beggars' Night is similar to trick-or-treating in that children are required to tell a joke, read a poem, or perform a "trick" in exchange for a treat.

It's no coincidence that the Queen in Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs bears an uncanny resemblance to Lady Macbeth. Walt Disney purposefully imitated Lady Macbeth's on-screen persona, and was even quoted as picturing the Evil Queen as "a mixture of Lady Macbeth and The Big Bad Wolf."

President Ronald Reagan designated the rose as the national flower of the United States on November 20, 1986. He did this while standing in the White House's famous Rose Garden. Roses are also the official flower of Georgia, Iowa, New York, North Dakota, and Washington, D.C.

Several studios rejected A New Hope (Episode IV), which was released as Star Wars before 20th Century Fox consented to create it. Despite being intrigued by Lucas' ideas, United Artists rejected him. Universal, on the other hand, had little trust in Lucas to carry out an idea with such economic potential. Disney's refusal was the most ironic, prompting Lucas to turn to Fox. In 2012, however, Disney paid $4 billion for the property.

Maine includes about 2500 lakes, as well as over 5000 rivers and streams. Maine has a large river system that spans over 32,000 miles.

It is known as the "Wolastoq" by the Maliseet, which means "bountiful and good" in Maliseet.

 According to the study, nearly 58 percent of all tree species are single-country endemics, meaning they only occur naturally within the borders of a single country. The highest totals for endemic tree species are found in Brazil, Colombia, and Indonesia, which makes sense given the overall biodiversity found in their native forests. The study's authors write, "The countries with the most country-endemic tree species reflect broader plant diversity trends (Brazil, Australia, China) or islands where isolation has resulted in speciation (Madagascar, Papua New Guinea, Indonesia)."
