Starbucks is often known for the music they always have playing in the background of each store. As it turns out, Starbucks is more serious about music than you may have thought. The company actually has its own record label called Hear Music. It was created with Concord Music Group in 2007, and actually includes some pretty huge performers, like Paul McCartney, James Taylor, and Joni Mitchell. 

If you download the app, you can find information on what's playing in the store, and sometimes get points for free song downloads.

 

Ruby red beets are a top supplier of nitrates, which help lower blood pressure, not to be surpassed by their tops. Beets also provide fibre and other minerals.

Because Afrikaans is a daughter language of Dutch, it is far simpler for Afrikaans speakers to understand their "mother tongue" than the other way around. A significant degree of mutual understanding exists between written languages.

Antibiotics are proven to kill microorganisms and improve our health. What is less generally recognised, however, is that antibiotics also destroy our healthy bacteria. Antibiotics will impact our immunity because probiotics make up between 70 and 80 percent of our immune response.

Astronauts who return from space are 3% taller than when they left. Because of the lack of gravity, they are taller, and their cartilage discs expand in microgravity. You stand higher in the morning because your spine has been free of gravity's downward pull for 8 hours. The rest also allows your spinal disc cartilage to plump up, making you taller!

We also learned that despite economic rough waters throughout India and the rest of the world, Swiggy’s numbers continue to climb. This is likely because of the additional services that it has provided in recent expansions. As of the last count, Swiggy received just under 2 million visits to its website in the last 30 days. The average monthly visits for services is just under 11 million. On average, Swiggy has experienced a monthly growth rate of 1.64 percent, which is fairly remarkable as it translates into increased revenues and profitability.

During the medieval period, Khajuraho had 85 temples, of which only 22 Hindu temples remain, the rest having been destroyed by natural disasters.

Mexico will be the seventh most visited country in the world by 2022, having received 45 million international tourists in 2019. It has the world's 15th greatest tourism income.

Core Design's desire to make a 3D game where you could actually see your character was the seed that eventually grew into Tomb Raider. That may not seem significant now, but it was groundbreaking at the time. Almost all "3D" games in the mid-to-late 1990s were first-person, which allowed you to fudge things with scaling 2D spites à la Doom. A third-person 3D game, on the other hand, necessitates the use of a moveable camera, implying that your 3D game must be 3D.

Affirmations, another important weapon in your Law of Attraction armory, are also well-supported by psychological research. One researcher at the University of Exeter, for example, has published on constructive repeated thought. They discovered that persons who regularly convince themselves that they can achieve a goal are more likely to succeed. Affirmations have been shown to aid in trauma rehabilitation, and increase anticipatory planning, depression therapy, and physical wellbeing.

Afrikaans continues to be a contentious language in South Africa due to its direct ties to the oppressive measures taken by the National Party regime. This and other elements have contributed to the growth of English in the nation.

Because Lara's polygon count was so limited, one of her trademarks, the braid she wears in all promotional and concept art, had to be removed from the game.

Even though no one knows when yoghurt was discovered, the name "yoghurt" is unmistakably Turkish. However, we do know that fermented milk has been utilised since prehistoric times.

Have you ever wondered where your broccoli comes from? If you get your fruits and vegetables from Daily Harvest Express, you already know the answer: as close to home as possible - Gaytan Family Farm is in Riverside County. What you may not know is that California is the broccoli producing capital of the United States, accounting for roughly 90% of national production. That is an enormous amount of broccoli. In fact, it's nearly 2 BILLION POUNDS of broccoli!

Another interesting Bhutan fact! Thimphu, Bhutan's capital city, is the world's only capital without traffic lights. In fact, there was such a public outcry when traffic lights were placed that the city reverted to utilising white-gloved traffic cops till today. This was only seen at one road crossroads in Thimphu, but it was an interesting sight! Aside from that, there are no traffic signals in the entire country. It works because, given how mountainous and secluded Bhutan is, there aren't many cars around. Bhutanese people are also quite relaxed and laid back, even when it comes to driving in an organised manner.

Death can occur in humans within 15 mins.

Orheiul Vechi, Moldova's most important (and possibly most beautiful) historical landmark, is a deteriorating open-air monastery complex dating back more than 2,000 years. The sprawling remains include old walls, spas, and monasteries that you will have mostly to yourself.

Brazil produces roughly 40% of the world's coffee, far outpacing other coffee-producing countries. They've managed to keep the top spot for the last 150 years, and their coffee plantations cover approximately 27,000 km2. I don't think any other country will be able to dethrone them any time soon!

Are you prone to mosquito bites? Iceland will suit you perfectly! Iceland is mosquito-free, thanks to a lack of small ponds and temperatures that are unfavourable for mosquito breeding – so you can sleep with your windows open anytime you like.

We watch television far too much as a culture. Unless you are watching something educational or spending quality family time when everyone is too exhausted to do anything else, relaxing is typically a complete waste of time. However, there is no more wasted time if you crochet. I finished most of my projects while watching television, and each time I did so, I felt accomplished. Now you can look back on your Netflix binge with pride and WITHOUT feeling like a sleuth!

Sound waves can be recorded and transmitted to a digital signal, which has a specific pattern of the required sound waves in a digital series that can be stored on a digital tape, CD, or computer system. When you play the signal, the digital pattern is converted back into sound waves. Although analogue sound recordings produce an exact copy of the desired sound wave pattern, making many copies of the original records can introduce extra noise and distort the unique pattern. However, digital records only have a pattern of numbers that you may replicate and correct as needed without any distortion. As a result, digital sound recording is always preferable to analogue recording.

Dr. Smirnov makes the startling claim that probiotics will replace antibiotics as medical treatments in the twenty-first century. This is because, like antibiotics before them, their successful medical use will fundamentally alter how we think about illness.
