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!

Palm trees are revered religious symbols. The people of Jerusalem greeted a triumphant Jesus just one week before his death and resurrection in the Bible, a tradition that is now known and celebrated as Palm Sunday, the week before Easter.

An iceberg with 20 billion gallons of fresh water could supply a million people for five years, but it would have to be towed across 10,000 kilometres of open ocean to the coast of Fujairah, which could take a year.

Betel leaves are a mild stimulant that the locals like to chew on for a couple of minutes. Unfortunately, the leaves cause their mouths to water, which in turn is mixed with the red dye of the substance. People then spit this out onto the floor causing red stains along the street. The first impression when you see this ubiquitous marking on the floor may be blood. But, it’s not.

When you’re in Myanmar, you’ll see people chewing this and will become familiar with the red stains that line the streets. Vendors sell large green leaves containing the nut with spices and occasionally tobacco. Try it yourself if you dare.

Many poets have compared the flickering flame of a candle to the stunning effect of a diamond throughout history. Of course, creative writers weren't far off the mark. According to Wuzong Zhou, a chemistry professor at the University of St Andrews, a candle's flame contains approximately 1.5 million diamond nanoparticles. As a result, proposing during a candlelight dinner has even more significance.

In our list of Spider-Man facts, we discussed how the Clone Saga nearly ruined Marvel Comics, but a decade earlier, DC was in trouble because its heroes weren't selling well. Jim Shooter, Marvel's editor-in-chief at the time, was approached by the head of Warner Communications' publishing but declined the offer, arguing that DC characters wouldn't sell since they weren't very good. Ouch! Consider what would happen if the deal went through. That old Marvel vs. DC comics dispute would not have occurred!

Nail painting has been practised since 3000 BCE. There is archaeological evidence that the Ancient Babylonians used a solid gold manicure set to paint their nails before battle. People used beeswax, egg whites, gelatin, and vegetable dyes in Ancient China during the Ming Dynasty.

Monkeypox usually runs its course in two to four weeks. If you get monkeypox, your provider will keep an eye on you until the rash goes away.

There are so many different ways to express your beliefs. Some people believe in God and go to church regularly or belong to a religious community. In contrast, others do not believe in God at all! Some people meditate. Others just focus more inside themselves rather than externally. And others are less egoistic and more altruistic.

The Khajuraho temple complex is split into three sections: Western, Eastern, and Southern.

Christened Alexandrina (but called Drina as a child), she started using Victoria—her middle name—at 18 when she ascended to the throne.

This doesn't make much sense, but it happened in a society riddled with superstitions. 'Evidence' such as appearances in a dream was sufficient to file a case against someone.

Chinese porcelain's raw materials are inexpensive and widely available. Chinese porcelain was made from a variety of materials, including glass, bone, ash, quartz, and alabaster. Kaolin, a clay mineral, is the primary and main raw material of Chinese porcelain. Kaolin was named after Gaoling, a small village near China's porcelain capital of Jingdezhen.

When they assault again, you'll know what they're saying: "Stay off my property, yah hear!"

Despite the fact that it's become commonplace to call the Inuit "Eskimos," this is neither their preference nor a representation of their cultural history. The term "Eskimo," which is thought to have been initially created by either the French or the Danes, probably meant either "snow-shoe netter" or "meat eater." In any case, the majority of contemporary Inuit see the term "Eskimo" as derogatory against their race. So be sure to avoid using the offensive term when speaking with anything from an Inuit community. It's also critical to be aware that Inuk is singular and Inuit is for plural usage.

A 5.9-liter V12 engine powers Aston Martins such as the DB9 and V12 Vantage S. Don't be deceived by the company's claim that it's a 6.0-liter. Another component of this engine that AM does not emphasise is what it begins as. This is due to the fact that it is effectively a pair of Ford Duratec V6s joined together. Sure, many components have been replaced in the quest of horsepower and torque – 565bhp and 457lb-ft in the V12 Vantage S – but several simple Ford sedan engine parts remain.

The Netherlands could be crammed into Mongolia 37 times. It is the world's 18th most populous country (Iran is 17th).

Astronomers have found more than a million asteroids as of right now. The majority of orbits are located between Mars and Jupiter. Thus, The Main Asteroid Belt is the name given to this area. The belt between Mars and Jupiter's orbits is where the majority of asteroids are concentrated.

For the past 15 years, the usage of solar energy has risen at a pace of 20% every year. According to Yale Environment 360, the globe installed 30% more solar energy capacity in 2017, resulting in the production of 98.9 gigatonnes of solar energy that year. Despite its seeming size, this quantity of energy only amounts for 0.7 percent of the world's yearly electrical use.

Over 1,000 elephants were used to transport the materials needed to build the Taj Mahal. It was mostly white marble and red sandstone that needed to be transported, and it came from all over India and the Middle East. Red sandstone is common in Persian architecture and can be found in other Mughal structures such as Delhi's Red Fort and Jama Masjid, while white marble was used as a representation of the divine.

The owners of Swiggy have not indicated any desire to file an IPO and take the company public. The funding that it currently receives from its venture capital investors is more than enough to fully fund all of Swiggy’s expansion efforts. Swiggy may remain one of India’s largest privately-owned companies as there is no need for it to offer shares on the public stock exchange markets. We fully expect to see Swiggy continue to grow and expand throughout India, and perhaps other parts of the world in the years to come.
