Research shows that people with ADHD are more likely to have problems with sleep patterns, for example. Others are impulsive about their eating habits, or never use their gym memberships. Simply ensuring a healthy diet, regular exercise and 8 hours of sleep a night means better self-control and function. But keeping these routines takes special effort for people with ADHD.

When the king queried his companions about the wonder of the idol and how it stayed in the air without a prop or support, some said that it was kept up by some secret support.

While the Alien franchise swaps in different androids for (almost) every installment, there is an interesting consistency to them: they go in alphabetical order. Ash, Bishop, Call, and, most recently, David (played by Michael Fassbender in Prometheus and Alien: Covenant).

The themes are determined by paying tribute to designers’ pasts and the theme of the upcoming exhibition. This year’s theme is Gilded Glamour which is heavily inspired by the Gilded Age that took place in New York from 1870 to the early 1900s.

Fat content: Butter chicken dishes frequently contain a lot of fat because cream and butter are used in them. Similar to calories, the amount of fat can differ based on the ingredients used. The dish yields around 12 grams of saturated fat and 28 grammes of total fat per serving. There are no hazards if the daily consumption of saturated fat is less than 22 grammes, thus this is not a cause for concern.

Clip-ins, believe it or not, are not a new idea; in fact, wigs and hair extensions date back to 3400 BC in ancient Egypt. Back then, wigs were sewn-on hair pieces composed of human hair and sheep wool. Beeswax and resin were used to glue and attach extensions, while the Egyptians used to lead and henna to colour their hair and sheep wool. Wigs and extensions were not quite as good quality or realistic as they are now, but the Egyptians had some incredibly elaborate braided and layered extensions.

During ancient times, animal skin was used to make blinds. Long ago, people who lived in hotter climates used animal hide to shield themselves from the sun's rays. They also used those materials as drapes to keep the interiors of their homes cool. The animal skins were soaked in water and hung on the doorways. As a result, the wind's effect created a cooling sensation, similar to natural coolers.

Almonds are members of the prunus family, which includes peaches, cherries, and apricots. The nuts that we are so acquainted with are actually the fruit's seed. The fleshy section of the almond fruit, unlike its fruity sisters, cannot be eaten.

When perfumers try to derive the scent of a flower, many of its aspects are lost once it’s dried and pressed into oils. So perfumers try to add those characteristics back by adding notes which make it smell more realistic. One weird way that’s done in the case of white florals, is by using Indole. Derived from coal tar, this smells like camphor and mothballs when pure, and gives a fecal scent to enhance the intensity and depth of jasmine perfumes to make these fragrances smell more like the real flower.

The majority of samhainophobic readers are probably not viewing this slideshow due to their fear of Halloween. Despite the fact that many patients realise there is no real threat, October 31 still causes them anxiety. Samhainophobia can include fears of ghosts, witchcraft, and darkness.

While cow's milk-based formula is still the most common, roughly 12% of newborns consume soy baby formula. The one chemical that has parents concerned is phytoestrogen, a plant-based oestrogen dopplegänger that may cause early puberty. Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania surveyed over 900 adults, some of whom were fed soy formula as babies, and found no long-term positive or negative effects, according to a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. Vegan infants, rejoice!

In 1925, Benito Mussolini founded a dictatorship in Italy, which he controlled until 1945. Mussolini, known as Il Duce at his peak, was not always a fascist. In reality, he began his political career as a radical socialist and served as Prime Minister of Italy until 1922. During WWII, he allied Italy with Germany and was killed by partisan fighters in 1945.

Plath received a $2,080 novel-writing fellowship from the publisher Harper & Row, but when she turned in her manuscript they declined to publish it. An editor at Harper & Row called it "disappointing, juvenile and overwrought." The novel was eventually published in the U.K., but Plath was not able to find a U.S. publisher for it in her lifetime.

Many people are unaware of how intelligent pigeons are. They may be taught to recognize words and to match art with its artist, but perhaps most importantly, they can be taught to distinguish between benign and cancerous growths. Researchers at the University of California, Davis, trained pigeons to distinguish between benign and malignant biopsies. The pigeons were able to "diagnose" brand new biopsies that they had never seen before after being trained how to differentiate between the two. A pigeon by itself had an accuracy of 85% on average. Their accuracy as a group approached 99%, which is expected of a doctor.
