While not everything in The Bell Jar corresponds to Plath's life, she drew on many of her own experiences to write the novel. Just like Esther in The Bell Jar, Plath received electroshock therapy as a treatment for her depression and was hospitalized several times over the course of her life. She received her first electroshock treatment after her first suicide attempt at the age of 20. She was treated at Maclean Hospital in Massachusetts, which has also treated Robert Lowell, Anne Sexton, David Foster Wallace, James Taylor, and Ray Charles.

It is also the biggest meromictic basin in the world. A meromictic lake contains water strata that do not mix together. Regular holomictic lakes, on the other hand, have at least one period every year when the surface and deep waters mix. Although meromictic lakes may be found all over the world, they are extremely uncommon. The proportion of meromictic lakes to holomictic lakes is around one to 1,000.

Area 51 is a government-owned piece of property in the United States that is considered to be the site of intense extraterrestrial activity. But did you know that in the Marvel reality, Iron Man really owns Area 51? Iron Man bought Area 51 from the government and used it as a safe haven for the reality jewel.

It has over 300 native mammals, including marsupials, monotremes, and placental mammals.

Chai, a spiced tea drink, is thought to be a healing beverage that dates back over 5,000 years to an ancient royal court. It wasn't until the 1930s that black tea was added. Coffee was most likely introduced to Indian culture by the British.

Defectors from North Korea sent the nation thousands of USB flash sticks between 2016 and 2017. These flash drives contained a sizable amount of prohibited items, such as Hollywood movies, South Korean soap operas, and world news articles.

The cornea is one of only two organs in the human body that lacks blood vessels. The cornea is the transparent portion of the eye that protects the pupil and other parts of the eye. According to scientists at the Harvard Department of Ophthalmology's Schepens Eye Research Institute, cartilage and the cornea are the only types of tissue in the human body that lack blood vessels. Your eye also has some unusual characteristics that you probably aren't aware of.

Stingrays may appear to be soaring through the water, but a closer look reveals that they are actually moving through with a smooth flapping motion. The majority of species move by undulating their bodies, much like an aquatic wave, however, some prefer to flap their sides like wings. Stingrays in South Africa travelled at a speed of 1.35 kilometres per hour (0.83 miles per hour), and some species made migrations of up to 850 kilometres, according to research by the Save Our Seas Foundation (528 miles).

Iguanas are diurnal creatures, which means they are up throughout the day and asleep at night. They take full use of any sunshine in the wild, and illumination in terrariums is critical to their happiness and health. Iguanas go to sleep as it becomes dark or when the temperature lowers.

Contrary to popular belief, glass is not categorized as a solid, liquid, or gas. Glass cools to become an "amorphous solid" that permits molecular movement within the glass.

He did not write about relativity in the same way that Einstein did. But Galileo realised that motion is relative—that your impression of motion is affected by both your own movement and the movement of the thing you're looking at. Indeed, if you were imprisoned inside a windowless cabin aboard a ship, you would have no means of knowing whether the ship was immobile or travelling at a constant speed. These concepts would be food for thought for the youthful Einstein more than 250 years later.

Chia seeds first gained popularity as the star seed of chia pets before they started to reappear in our smoothies, puddings, and desserts!

Not because they are correct, but because the world of publishing is entertaining, and they generally explain the profession while infusing their lives with drama. I really suggest it. (Does anyone else enjoy this show?)

We see T'Challa and his Wakandan clan conversing in their native dialect in Captain America: Civil War and Black Panther. One of the most intriguing hidden allusions in Black Panther is how the words spoken are a variant of Xhosa, a genuine language spoken heavily in Zimbabwe and South Africa, which are near to where Wakanda is located in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

I thought it was only available in South Africa. Think again. Particularly Namibia has a sizable population of Afrikaans speakers, which is a neighbour of South Africa. Argentina, more specifically Patagonia, where a tiny community of Afrikaans-speaking farmers live, is unquestionably the most intriguing region. They are descended from an Afrikaner migration to South America that took place between 1903 and 1909, following the Anglo-Boer War, and involved roughly 800 people. Amazingly, the language has persisted among a select few of them up until this point.

These two gorgeous names are synonymous with Sri Lanka. This small island nation is known as the Pearl of the Indian Ocean due to its remarkable natural beauty, extraordinary biodiversity, and rare jewels. Furthermore, the island has a teardrop form and is located off the coast of India, which is easier to see on a map. That is why it is also known as the Teardrop of India. A Google map snapshot of Sri Lanka is shown here to give you an idea of its location and shape.

The Incas were skilled engineers who were able to construct the complete fortress of Machu Picchu without the use of cement. Instead, they adopted a method known as ashlar, which involves carefully cutting stones such that they lay on top of one another with no gap between them. You couldn't even get a sheet of paper through the stones!

Because relics of the clay oven called a Tandoor, which was used to cook the chicken, were found during an excavation, historians and archaeologists now think that the genesis of the Tandoori Chicken occurred during the Harappa Civilization. Tandoori chicken's origins can thus be traced to the Harappan Civilization, though the Punjabi people of Pakistan are responsible for its redistribution. Who would have thought that our ancestors would have had as much luck as to have what we are having now when eating the Tandoori chicken with green chutney from your favourite restaurant.

Ella Slack is of comparable height and size as the queen, thus she will perform a rehearsal before major events to eliminate royal annoyances such as the sun getting in Her Majesty's eyes. Slack has been doing it for three decades, but she is not permitted to sit on the throne, so she must kneel above it.

The goal is to achieve a knockout or a checkmate by alternating between four-minute rounds of speed chess and three-minute rounds of boxing. The game of pawn vs brawn can be traced back to a 1992 science fiction graphic novel by Yugoslavian-French cartoonist Enki Bilal.

According to North Carolina State University researchers, the venom of the Brazilian scorpion Tityus serrulatus can cause pancreatitis. One specific venom enzyme targets specific proteins in the gland, impairing their functionality and causing inflammation in the pancreatic cells. Researchers discovered that although acute pancreatitis caused by scorpions is typically temporary and self-limited, it may develop into hemorrhagic pancreatitis and result in death in a separate study of a related species (T. stigmurus).
