Finding previously unknown organisms in the depths of the ocean may sound like something out of a science fiction horror film, but a 2020 study of a deep-sea volcano near New Zealand, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, uncovered "over 90 putative bacterial and archaeal genomic families and nearly 300 previously unknown genera." Hydrothermal vents, like deep-sea volcanoes, have been connected to the "beginning of life" in certain studies. So, are we seeing the beginnings of future land-dwellers? We'll have to wait and see what happens.

That's enough pencils to circle the globe 62 times, believe it or not.

Ocimumosides A and B are chemicals found in tulsi. These molecules alleviate stress and help the brain's neurotransmitters serotonin and dopamine balance. Tulsi's anti-inflammatory qualities lower inflammation and blood pressure.

The Cabbage White butterfly is named for its predominantly white markings with touches of yellow and green like the vegetable.

Another interesting Egyptian football fact. There are two clubs that are great rivals yet share the same venue, similar to how A.C Milan and Inter Milan share the same stadium while being rivals in Italy!

A Bloodhound's sense of scent is so acute and exact that it may be used as evidence in court. Their scent membranes allow dogs to distinguish odours at least a thousand times better than humans. Bloodhounds are frequently employed to locate missing people and criminals. They can follow traces that are almost 300 hours old and can go 130 miles on a path.

With the fall of the Roman Empire, the secret of making Greek Fire was lost. Throwing water on it would simply feed the flames, making this weapon one-of-a-kind and lethal. It had a gelatinous feel and stuck to everything. It was largely utilised in naval warfare since the huge flamethrowers required for its projectile usage could be handled easier by ships than troops. A fleet of floating wood and canvas ships would be readily destroyed by the Greek Fire.

The first iPhone was introduced to the world by Steve Jobs. It was 9 January 2007, he announced the release of iPhone in San Francisco, California. He said ‘Today, Apple is going to reinvent the phone’ in his address and showed the world a revolutionary touchscreen phone.

The first Jane Austen fan fiction was written in an 1823 letter to the editor of The Lady's Magazine, in which Austen appeared as a character. The letter writer claims to want to know more about being a successful writer and consults Jane Austen's ghost for advice. Harvard University owns the first Austen dissertation, "Jane Austen's Novels," which was published in 1883 by George Pellew.

In that famous poppy-field scene in Wizard of Oz, the snow coming down is calming to Dorothy and her posse. But they should probably have been far less relaxed as these were actually asbestos-based fake snowflakes—a popular Christmas decoration throughout the United States and Europe at the time. Wicked, indeed.

In fact, it's still there, above the fire station. Although VIPs are occasionally given tours, Walt's private apartment is typically off limits to the general public. There are still many of the same furnishings from Walt's earlier visits, including a lamp in the window that is visible from the outside. To imply that Walt is always in the park, it is always left on.

When Qin Shi Huang ascended to the throne of the Qin State in 246 BC, work on the Terracotta Warriors began. It was completed in 206 BC, four years after Qin's demise, at the start of the Han Dynasty. Terracotta Horses and Warriors Terracotta Horses and Warriors

Due to the popularity of Sudoku puzzles in 2008, pencil sales in London increased significantly.

Before he became renowned, Missouri native Jon Hamm taught high school drama for a year at a St. Louis school. Ellie Kemper, the actress, was one of his classmates. Years later, they collaborated on "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt."

"We don't really know who first came up with the idea for looking at things in nature and divining influences on humans," NASA astronomer Sten Odenwald told Time. "There's some indication that cave art shows this idea that animals and things can be imbued with some spirit form that then influences you, and if you appease that spirit form, then you will have a successful hunt. That was taken over by the idea of divination, where you can actually look at things in nature and study them carefully, such as tea-leaf reading."

We'll look through cricket in further detail. A century is an innings in which one batter runs a hundred runs without being hit. That is really difficult for me to achieve. Alastair Cook is the oldest player to reach the age of 38. But that is not the all-time record held by Indian legend Sachin Tendulkar. Tendulkar retired in 2013 at the age of 100. Tendulkar is known as the "God of Cricket."

This may come as a surprise but the Gala was not always held at the Met. Actually, from 1948 until 1971, the Gala took place in different areas around New York City such as Central Park, the Waldorf Astoria, and the Rainbow Room.

In ancient Greece, killing a dolphin was deemed sacrilegious and was a capital offence. They were known as "holy fish" or hieros ichthys by the Greeks.

Many times, allergens such as specific flowers, pollens, and even foods can also cause asthma, thus asthma patients should become aware of their own allergic triggers.

Have you heard that formula feeding, maybe with a little of rice cereal in the bottle, fills babies' tummies for longer periods of time, allowing them to sleep longer? While it is true that formula takes longer to digest and hence stays in a baby's stomach longer, this unfortunately does not translate into more sleep for the mother. A research published in Pediatrics by West Virginia University discovered that whether mothers gave their newborns breast milk, formula, or a combination of the two, they all received the same amount of sleep and felt similarly pooped.

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.

On September 2nd, the World Coconut Day was founded to honour the benefits of the coconut. The day emphasises the value and application of coconuts. Remember to celebrate that day!

The Princess and the Frog gradually introduced the first black Disney princess, but the film had some unintended consequences. For example, it sent 50 children, mostly girls under the age of ten, to the hospital with salmonella after they attempted to kiss toads like the film's heroine. "Reptiles aren't ideal kissing partners," AOLHealth's Liz Neporent wrote at the time.

A blueberry's silver-gray bloom is a protective layer that serves as a covering. The bloom is what keeps the berries fresh, so wait to wash them until you're ready to eat them.

Tomb Raider was cutting-edge stuff in 1996, but cutting-edge didn't always necessitate a staff of hundreds or thousands. The game was developed by Core Design over the course of three years (1993–96), with only six people on staff at the time.
