If stress has you trapped, you need to shift your environment. Nature photographs are the most effective, whereas urban streetscapes and geometrical patterns are thought to be the least successful.

The Sahara Desert is a vast desert in North Africa that includes portions of Algeria, Chad, Egypt, Libya, Mali, Mauritania, Morocco, Niger, Sudan, Tunisia, and Western Sahara. It is the world's hottest desert, however, due to a lack of humidity, the temperature reduces throughout the night. The average yearly temperature is approximately 30°C although during the warmest months June- September the temperature can soar over 50°C. Temperatures can dip as low as -5 °C at night. Between October and May, when the weather is pleasant, is the best time to explore Tunisian Sahara. During the warmest months, several tour operators suspend operations.

The Sushruta Samhita, written in the sixth century BC, comprises 184 chapters that describe 1,120 ailments, 700 therapeutic plants, 64 mineral preparations, and 57 animal preparations. Its creator, Sushruta, is also regarded as the first human to conduct medical surgery on humans. The book also contains extensive information on embryology and human anatomy, directions for venesection, patient placement for each vein, and the preservation of essential tissues (marma). The oldest recorded evidence (9000 years) for the drilling of a living person's human teeth was discovered in Mehrgarh, coupled with pieces of evidence of orthopedic surgery.

According to English Heritage research from 2010, Stonehenge has a long and fascinating link with astronomy. This is owing, in part, to the monument's alignment with the sunrise of the summer solstice and the sunset of the winter solstice. William Stukeley, a pioneering British archaeologist, discovered this in 1720. Many notable astrologers have examined Stonehenge since then, attempting to uncover links between its structure and the stars.

There are fine artists who have chosen crochet as their preferred technique, which is a true testament to the adaptability of this craft. One of my favorites is Toshiko Horiuchi Macadam, who crochets mind-blowing "playscapes" in Canada and Japan, and Shauna Richardson, whose style has been dubbed "crocheter." Find out more about crochet as art; you'll be amazed!

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. Only the United States and Liberia retain this system. Just be careful when you’re looking at the Myanmar facts and figures to make sure you get the right measurement!

Heart-healthy qualities can be found in amaltas leaves. Make a leaf decoction, and drink it in the morning and evening. It strengthens the cardiac muscles and lowers harmful LDL cholesterol. As a result, heart health is improved.

A group of volunteers decided to put this theory to the test in 2007. They used only one pencil to write "To Kill a Mockingbird." The novel is 100,388 words long.
 

In the southeast of Europe is the Republic of Bulgaria. The Balkan Peninsula includes it. In addition to the Black Sea on its eastern border, Bulgaria is bordered by Serbia and Macedonia to the west, Romania to the north, and Turkey, and Greece to the south.

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!

We’re seeing a lower incidence of gastric cancer these days, partly because our diet contains fewer foods that cause cancer (as refrigeration became widespread, we ate fewer smoked and cured meats).

We now also know that H. pylori can cause stomach cancer, but H. pylori are relatively easy to diagnose and treat.

That's over 3 feet per year! This is because it was created thousands of years ago on a lake. Today, the lake is part of Mexico Metropolis's aquifer system, and water demand is so high that the city is sinking.

There is little to no scientific proof that chamomile tea can help people lose weight, but it is a pleasant, calorie-free drink that you can drink throughout the day (as long as you don't add sweets). So, while the herbal beverage may not contain any miraculous fat-burning component, it may be a handy pantry item if you're attempting to lose weight and want something a bit more tasty than water. Furthermore, chamomile tea may help control stress, which, as previously said, can lead to weight gain for a variety of reasons; therefore, by keeping your stress levels in line, chamomile may be able to indirectly help you shed pounds.

Although stingrays don't have teeth, they still resemble sharks in a number of ways. They share similar skin and belong to the same family of cartilaginous fish, which are supported by cartilage rather than bones in their skeletons. Additionally, they employ the same ampullae of Lorenzini sensors, unique sense organs that detect electrical signals released by prey.

Vitamin D is commonly lauded for its role in bone health and good moods, but new study suggests that it may also have a role in metabolism and weight loss. In one prior study, for example, when vitamin-D-deficient women increased their blood levels of vitamin D to recommended levels, they lost more weight. According to the National Institutes of Health, potential symptoms of vitamin D insufficiency include bone pain and muscular weakness. Even if you take vitamin D pills, don't assume that your levels are enough. When the women in the research took supplements, they absorbed varying levels of the vitamin.

Flounders are saltwater fish that live along the beach, along the Eastern Seaboard, and in estuaries, streams, and rivers. They move to the ocean over the winter and don't usually return to shallow waters until April.

The majority of Mercedes-Benz race cars—as well as several unique and flagship vehicles—are painted in the company's famous silver hue, although this was originally an unplanned improvisation. Mercedes-white, Benz's aluminum-bodied W 25 race vehicle had to be under 750 kg to compete at the Nürburgring in 1934, but it was one kilogramme over weight. The racing team management chose to have the paint ground off, resulting in a gleaming silver racer that won the race—and established silver as an emblematic hue.

Perhaps it's because of Monaco's stunning sun-drenched setting on the French Riviera. Perhaps it is due to its population of well educated doctors and medical personnel. Perhaps it is due to the popularity of the Mediterranean diet, which has been shown to be the healthiest in the world. Of any event, the average life expectancy in Monaco is 89.4 years old, making it the highest in the world, not just in Europe.

The Teutonic Order's Castle at Malbork is the world's largest castle in terms of land area. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and was originally erected in the 13th century as a Teutonic castle and stronghold. In that regard, Poland is home to a whopping 15 UNESCO World Heritage Sites!

With over 500 million copies sold, Don Quixote is the best-selling novel of all time. The novel by Miguel de Cervantes, about a man who becomes obsessed with tales of knights and decides to become one, is the one that gave us the phrase "tilting at Windmills" to describe a noble but futile endeavour. Since its publication in 1612, Don Quixote's misadventures as he travels across the Spanish countryside seeking to right wrongs and uplift downtrodden peoples have entertained generations of readers. Don Quixote is also regarded as one of the first novels ever written.
