We'll look through cricket in further detail. A century is an innings in which one batter runs a hundred runs without being hit. That is really difficult for me to achieve. Alastair Cook is the oldest player to reach the age of 38. But that is not the all-time record held by Indian legend Sachin Tendulkar. Tendulkar retired in 2013 at the age of 100. Tendulkar is known as the "God of Cricket."

The Chapman University Survey on American Fears found that Democrats are about twice as likely to believe in astrology as Republicans. Democrats were also noted to believe in the paranormal more in general.

 

On September 2nd, the World Coconut Day was founded to honour the benefits of the coconut. The day emphasises the value and application of coconuts. Remember to celebrate that day!

The leathery smell in Chanel’s Cuir de Russie comes from an ingredient originally derived from the abdomen of beavers. Called Castoreum, there’s a fruit-scented extract that is taken from the abdominal glands of beavers and used in perfumes. It is supposed to smell sweet, warm, and animalic. However, since the animal has to be killed to remove the sac which contains this “castor”, perfumes that contain this scent use synthetic recreations of the note.

Lions prefer hunting at night as they have eyes that are adapted to the dark. And these features give them a great advantage over their prey. Lions also prefer hunting during the storms as the noise and wind make it harder for the prey to hear or see them, and hence they can easily attack them. A great strategy, isn't it?

Assam State Zoo is the largest zoo in North East India, spread across 432 acres of land. It is situated in the capital city of Guwahati, and it is home to almost 113 species of animals and birds from all around the world. It attracts hundreds of visitors every day because of the large number of animals like Tigers, Himalayan Black Bears, Golden Langur, etc.

Although there are numerous steps in the treatment process for asthma, an albuterol inhaler is always the first thing a doctor suggests. Albuterol can be a lifeline for people with asthma, but it's typically used to manage existing symptoms.

Its origins are in the Greek words kalos, eidos, and skopios, which translate to "beautiful shape."

Nuwara Eliya, a British-built hill country town, is recognised for its temperate, chilly temperature. It used to be a popular vacation spot for the British elite. According to John Gimlette, a British travel writer, it is "where they go to be chilly and damp and pretend they're in England." Its colonial-style mansions and hotels will transport you to 19th-century England.

The part of the eye that limits the amount of light that reaches the retina is called the iris. The iris shrinks and lets in less light while it's bright outside, and the opposite is true at night.

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.

No, this alleged torture gadget did not exist. The widespread usage of the term "mediaeval" is a typical 18th-century fiction, fueled by conceptions of the Middle Ages as a generally uncivilised era of murder and mayhem. (They weren't awful, but they weren't great.)

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.

It's interesting how they classify game violence — World War II brutality is mild enough to be labelled T, yet modern-day nukes are clearly rated M.

Wilfred Rhodes was the most famous cricketer in England. He made his 58th and final appearance on April 12, 1930, at the age of 51. Isn't this incredible? Brian Close, England's youngest cricket player at the age of 17, is a fascinating fact about the game. That is obviously off the record. The youngest cricketer of his generation hasn't played in almost a century.

Researchers are chipping away at new meds to treat migraines, alongside different methodologies. These incorporate invigorating nerves close to the mind, botulinum poison infusions, month-to-month or quarterly self-infusions of CGRP blockers, and craniosacral treatment (delicate kneading of the neck, head, and spine). A portion of these methodologies might make the future more brilliant for individuals with constant, handicapping migraines.

It's Mulligatawny soup, to be exact. This is seen in Batman #701, as Alfred serves a fatigued Batman his favourite comfort meal. This dish is famous in British India and originates in South Indian cuisine.

They consider it sacred because the Buddha was accustomed to rest in the lush mango groves. Mangoes were also considered one of the best gifts to be exchanged amongst one another. Buddhists monks would also carry a few mangoes with them on their long expeditions, popularising the fruit. 3. It is said that the rich and pulp flavour of the fruit also caught the fancy of Alexander the Great, who upon his return to Greece, carried enough mangoes along.

The Taj Mahal is almost perfectly symmetrical, in keeping with Persian and Islamic architectural principles. The minarets (towers), walls, rooms, and even gardens are all symmetrical. The Taj Mahal, one of the world's most perfectly symmetrical structures, is known for its white beauty and sheen. The placement of Shah Jahan's cenotaph — and his grave — are possibly the only elements of the Taj that do not adhere to perfect geometric proportions and symmetrical precision.

In a 2011 article, Martha Smith, a horticulture educator at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, notes that in the 1620s, "Tulips were more valuable than gold. " Why were these plants so expensive?" Initially, the tulip was a luxury item only the wealthy could afford "She goes on to explain. Indeed, a single "Rembrandt-type bulb" cost the equivalent of $1,500 at the time, which was "ten times the annual income of a skilled craftsman or the price of a large house."

Under a microscope, dust mites appear somewhat menacing due to a pair of unsettling, pincer-like claws located close to their mouths. But do not worry; unlike lice and bed bugs, these tiny creatures are not parasites. They do not bite people and do not consume blood.

Centipedes are skilled hunters due to their incredible speed and venomous forcipules. Smaller species primarily consume mollusks, worms, insects, and spiders. Larger species frequently eat small birds, bats, and frogs as food. Even other centipedes will be eaten by some centipedes! Their meals are somewhat dependent on what is available to them. Some centipedes will scavenge for food in a pinch, but most of the time, they will hunt for it. Centipedes hunt for prey with the help of their antennae and catch it with their speed. Then, after encircling their prey, they wait for their venom to take effect before consuming their meal. Really brutal, no? However, it does the job.
