Books are an interesting market in part because they offer a 100% return policy. So, if a publisher sells 50 copies of a fresh new book to, say, Target or a local independent bookshop, that company has the option of returning all 50 copies to the publishing house if they don't sell. Isn't that crazy? 50 copies aren't much, but when you get into the hundreds, you can see how this can be a difficult market to predict.

According to Psychology Today, the brain patterns triggered while a weightlifter lifts heavy weights are also activated when the lifter simply imagines and visualizes the activity of lifting weights. That is, your mind is unable to distinguish between what is real and what is imagined. When you envision yourself shooting the basketball, your skill will develop just as if you were doing physical practice. This is one of the primary reasons why visualization is so effective in assisting people in reaching their goals. Several elite and exceptional sportsmen, such as Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, and Usain Bolt, picture and rehearse their practice and game victory many times before they actually do it.

If you or someone you know has ever quit smoking with nicotine gum, you can thank Sweden. Nicorette, the first product, was created by Leo AB in Helsingborg. It was inspired by the fact that while on duty, smoking Swedish submariners would switch from tobacco to chewing tobacco or snus to get their nicotine fix. Nicorette wasn't the first time nicotine was placed in chewing gum, but they did design a polymer that regulated the flow of nicotine into the bloodstream, allowing for a continuous release and a gradual withdrawal, allowing millions of people to stop for good.

Very few countries measure things using the Imperial System. This means that they measure weight in pounds and distances in inches rather than the more common kilograms and centimeters.

Stage hypnosis, as entertaining as it is, has little to do with clinical hypnosis. The latter is a recognised form of therapy that assists people in overcoming various ailments through a relaxed mind and strategic suggestion.

Over 2,000 tonnes of unexploded bombs are discovered every year, even more than 70 years after World War II. To ensure that the earth is free of any weapons, specialists must certify it before construction companies start digging for a new project.

In 2013, when a 4,000-pound Blockbuster bomb was found in Dortmund, western Germany, more than 20,000 people were forced to flee their homes. It could destroy an entire city block if it exploded. Since the end of World War II, Germany has enjoyed peace, yet their bomb squad is one of the busiest in the world.

It wasn't until the Series automobiles appeared that the grilles shrunk substantially enough to be considered conventional.
