This occurred while he was shooting "127 Hours." According to legend, Franco enrolled in an NYU acting class where the teacher gave him a "D." He was working 127 hours at the time. Another aspect of this incident is that the professor was eventually sacked for assigning a "D" grade to Franco's paper.

Bond is a very adaptable character. He looked to be capable of accomplishing everything the story needed, dishing out a lot of harm in every film, book, comic, and just about any piece of media he's been in. This involves firing practically any type of firearms, defeating powerful and intimidating opponents, and speaking several languages, to mention a few. However, Kingsley Amis' book The James Bond Dossier made it plain that, while Bond was skilled, he was easily trounced by his teacher. Not only that, but he is decent but not the greatest in things like hand-to-hand combat or sports like golf.

Bond, despite having witnessed some of the most deadly and bizarre events known to man, has a sense of humour. During the Never Send Flowers plotline, he went to the EuroDisney Resort (now known as Disneyland Paris) with his sweetheart. Bond was scheduled to remain for a few days, but he fell in love with the location and stayed for a week. The plot culminates with a climactic fight in the theme park. This demonstrates that even this cool and skilled MI6 spy/assassin has a childish side.

Obviously, James Bond is a British legend, yet he is of Scottish heritage. This is particularly evident in films like Skyfall, in which Bond returns to his childhood home in Scotland. However, Bond's lineage was not revealed until later in the series. Following the popularity of Dr. No, which starred Sean Connery as the famous spy, Ian Fleming incorporated Bond's Scottish origin. Of course, Connery is Scottish. Fleming specifically included these Scottish facts in the 007 novel You Only Live Twice, eternally establishing Bond's background. Connery would subsequently feature in the cinematic version of the book, however it was hardly faithful to the source material.

A Formula 1 race car's engine is not like one found in a Toyota that can go 200,000 miles without breaking a sweat. A normal Formula 1 engine, according to F1Technical, can only endure seven races. The competitors set aside a considerable sum only for engine development. The tolerance and capability of F1 engines are unparalleled. They're designed to get the most out of them, even if that means just operating for a few hours. Because the engines are built with such accuracy, they are more prone to wear and tear.

Asakusa is a must-see, with its charming streets (and even the metro station) adorned with these beautiful paintings depicting Japanese history. The thick but aesthetically unified murals exude a cultural vibe while fulfilling two functions: art and storytelling. In Asakusa, you can also buy unusual foods and souvenirs and watch cooks produce street delicacies via glass windows. Visit the iconic Kaminarimon temple, albeit you may have to compete with other eager tourists!

Psychologists have examined a phenomena known as reactance, which states that when individuals think that particular liberties are being taken away, they not only break the law, but break it significantly more than they would normally in order to reclaim their freedom. This might be one of the finest psychological facts to explain why a youngster who isn't allowed to use his phone in class will chew gum while texting.

In another University of Pennsylvania research, one group learnt about a starving small child, another about millions dying of hunger, and a third about both conditions. People gave more than twice as much money when they heard about the little girl as when they heard the statistics—and even those who heard her tale in the context of the larger tragedy gave less. Psychologists believe that we are predisposed to help the person in front of us, but when the situation feels too vast, we believe that our small contribution is insignificant.

Why, even if you're not weary, do you yawn when someone else does? There are several hypotheses as to why yawning is contagious, but one of the most popular is that it demonstrates empathy. People who are less inclined to demonstrate empathy, such as toddlers who haven't yet learned it or young people with autism, are also less likely to yawn in response to someone else's.

Not everyone like frightening movies, but for those who do, there are a few hypotheses as to why, with the major one involving hormones. You receive all the adrenaline, endorphins, and dopamine from a fight-or-flight reaction when you watch a scary movie or go through a haunted house, but your brain knows that you're not truly in danger, so you get that natural high without the risk.

Russia, you never cease to astonish me. A diner whose sole employees are identical twins, you may add, and they will respond, "Yes, we have that too." You read that correctly, this café in Russia's lovely city, Moscow, is a must-see for any visitor who arrives since both the cost and the cuisine are excellent. In addition, only twins take, prepare, and serve your order. That is unusual since it is the only restaurant in the world that hires only twins. Another fantastic guideline is that the twins must wear absolutely similar clothing. The owner is reported to have had the idea after seeing the film "Kingdom of Crooked Mirrors."

Guns and tiny toddlers are the ideal mix for having fun. A terrific location to take your kids, ages 12 to 18, that is completely safe. Simply purchase a ticket for them and they are set to enjoy their time at the military "Disney" camp. Despite the fact that this location is officially affiliated with Disney, the character of this "amusement park" is everything from childlike. Professionals teach children how to handle assault and sniper rifles and even introduce them to bare-handed fighting. Every day that they stay there, they practise their survival abilities, as the campers typically take on an obstacle course and form teams for sporting contests after breakfast.

We could sit here and argue that a massive asteroid is to blame for this enormous crater, but it isn't. The fact is that when trees are removed from soft, sandy ground, the earth practically collapses and continues to slide away from natural reasons every so often.

Recently, SpaceX sent four passengers into Earth orbit aboard the Crew Dragon spaceship. A concept for an aeroplane dubbed Rukma Vimana may be found in the book Vaimanika Shastra. G. R. Josyer disclosed the book in 1952, claiming that it was authored by Pandit Subbaraya Shastry (1866–1940), who dictated it between 1918 and 1923. In 1957, the first spacecraft was launched. Looking at the images above, you can see how similar these designs are. So, how did a Pandit in India envisage the concept of a spaceship 34 years before the first spacecraft launched? Is it just a coincidence?

When Chaim Weizmann, Israel's first president, died in 1952, the Prime Minister invited Einstein to fill the (mostly ceremonial) office. The scientist said no, writing: "I am extremely affected by our State of Israel's offer, and I am both heartbroken and humiliated that I cannot accept it. I've spent my whole life dealing with objective issues, therefore I lack both the natural ability and the expertise to deal with people and carry out official tasks."

When Einstein was a patent clerk, he started the "Olympia Academy" book club with two pals. The trio's favourite foods were sausages, Gruyere cheese, fruit, and tea. On Einstein's birthday, though, his pals surprised him with pricey caviar. Einstein, who had a habit of compulsively eating when discussing something he was enthusiastic about, started filling his face while explaining Galileo's theory of inertia, completely unconscious of what he was eating. He subsequently said, "Well, you know, if you provide sophisticated dishes to peasants like me, you know they won't like it."

Einstein was leaving a ceremony in his honour on his 72nd birthday. Photographers begged him to grin for the camera as he was getting into his car. Einstein, on the other hand, was weary of smiling for photos—he'd be doing it all evening—so he stuck his tongue out instead. Einstein was so taken with the photograph that he had it printed as greeting cards.

The notion that Einstein struggled at school is a fiction. A pre-teen Einstein would study mathematics and physics for fun over the summers, finally mastering differential and integral calculus by the age of 15. But it doesn't mean he was a model student. Einstein despised rote learning and refused to study things that bore him. As a result, when the stubborn number-lover took the polytechnic school admission exam in Zurich, he flunked the language, zoology, and botany parts.

Unfortunately, Apple has officially announced that they will not share the iPhone sales figure anymore back on November 1, 2018. So, we actually don’t the current sales figures of the iPhone. However, we can tell you the number from 2007 to 2018, though. Reports say that Apple has sold over 2.3 billion units of iPhone in this period. And, they sold about 220 million iPhones in 2018 alone.

Apple has various devices like iPad, iPod, Mac, watch, and more. However, the most popular of them all is the iPhone. They reported that they have got revenue of about 25.99 billion USD for Q3 2019 from the sales of the iPhone.

iPhone was released in the USA on 29 June 2007. At that time, 2 models of the iPhone were released. The difference between the two models was in the internal storage and the price. The 4 GB model was priced at $499 and the 8 GB model was priced at $599. Tens of thousands of people waited days before the launch for the iPhone in front of the AT&T and Apple retail stores for buying the iPhone. Matter of fact, lots of stores reported stock shortage within half an hour of the release.

Apple actually approached Verizon to collaborate in the making of the iPhone. However, Verizon had some conditions that were not liked by Apple. Thus they reached out to ‘Cingular Wireless’(AT&T Mobility)with the proposal. And, both parties agreed to all the terms and conditions and started to work on the project secretively. After working for over 2 and a half years, Apple unveiled the iPhone. The estimated development cost of the iPhone was about 150 million USD.
