It may appear obvious because many of us are familiar with witchcraft through films such as The Wizard of Oz, Harry Potter, and others. However, in real life, witchcraft has a very negative connotation, so much so that witches were sentenced to death in order to cleanse society. However, white magic practitioners have existed throughout history. Witchcraft is not the same as black magic. It is an umbrella term for both white and black magic.

The median age in the 1950s was 33 years old, but it is increasing every year. The median age of the Swiss population in 2015 was 42.2 years. Switzerland, on the other side, has the greatest percentage of persons over 100 in Europe and the second-highest life expectancy after Japan. Of course, given the purity of the air, the amount of walking routes, and the availability of high-quality health care, they will live a long life.

"I didn't like the guitar," Lisa Kudrow admitted of Phoebe Buffay's musical instrument of choice. "It wasn't sinking in with me. So I'm pretty sure I asked, 'What if she plays the bongos?'" They eventually brought in a guitar teacher, but that didn't last long. Kudrow learned a couple of chords before declaring that she was finished with the lessons. She reasoned that Phoebe would only know a few chords anyway. And thank goodness, because "Smelly Cat" is perfect as is.

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.

People with type 1 diabetes have immune systems that attack the insulin-producing cells in their pancreas for reasons that remain a scientific mystery. As a result, the cells are unable to produce insulin, which is necessary for other cells to access the bloodstream's glucose for energy. The bloodstream then becomes unhealthyly high in sugar. Conversely, those who have type 2 diabetes can still produce some insulin, but not enough. As a result of their cells developing insulin resistance (often as a result of obesity), glucose builds up in the bloodstream.

We used to think that stress caused sores in your stomach that doesn’t heal. We now know that prolonged use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as aspirin, ibuprofen (Motrin®, Advil®), or naproxen (Aleve®), can interfere with stomach mucus.

Ulcers result when stomach acid reaches the lining, and when they bleed they can cause pain and even be life-threatening.

A list of Jupiter facts would be incomplete without mentioning the planet's rings. Unlike Saturn's more well-known rings, Jupiter's are faint and composed of dust rather than ice. These rings were too faint for astronomers to notice for centuries. Imagine how surprised everyone was when NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft returned images of Jupiter's rings in 1979. The three-ring system begins 92,000 kilometres above Jupiter's cloud tops and extends more than 225,000 kilometres away from the planet. They range in thickness from 2,000 to 12,500 kilometres.
