Global warming has been a sensitive topic of debate for several years. While there is actual scientific reasoning for it, tackling it is still a work in progress. Listed below, are some of the common myths and facts I have come across about it.
The word "superstition" is believed to come from the Latin superstitio, which means "to be amazed." The term is also related to the Latin word superstes, which means "outliving" or "surviving," and refers to ideas and values that have survived long after their original meaning has been forgotten.
Many people claim that superstitious practices date back to the dawn of time. Humans tried to construct an understandable universe with forces that could be affected by intervention in the face of natural disasters such as thunderstorms and earthquakes, as well as the unpredictability of disease and food supply.
Actors, miners, fishermen, and gamblers are all more superstitious than the average person, and the performance of all of these jobs is more out of the individual's control.

Is it just me, or do you feel like horror movies are always undervalued as well? Have you never wondered how can films fire your adrenal glands, send shivers down your spine, raise goosebumps, and quicken your breath; inspiring not only an intense physical reaction but also cerebral experiences?
Maybe the aversion some viewers may have to the horror genre is a fear of losing control- having to shy away in fright, embarrassing themselves. A lot of people simply don’t want to lose control, no matter what.

The trick is – extreme control of the screenplay so that the audience can lose control.
What makes the 120 minutes of nail-biting anxiety combined with blood and gore inviting to some people? The answer lies in the brains of horror enthusiasts. Yes, studies have shown that people who enjoy scary movies are more sensitive to dopamine, or the reward hormone. It is the exact reason why some people engage in activities like skydiving and bungee jumping. Experiencing adrenaline-spiking scenarios without actual threat is a fix that many people enjoy, making horror movies so popular.

While there are no effective eye exercises for refractive errors, eye exercises can help with optimizing visual skills. Vision therapy, a type of physical therapy for the eyes, has been shown to improve certain conditions involving eye alignment and focusing. While being under an eye doctor’s care can provide more guidance on how to use eye exercises, there are some eye muscle exercises that can be done at home. While I wouldn’t expect these eye exercises to improve vision fast, with diligence, they can gradually help with focusing issues and eyestrain.

The last decade has seen tremendous developments in the field of entertainment. Music videos play a significant role in an artist’s general creative vision and output.

on the internet is extremely short-lived. It is consumed and forgotten about daily,
if not hourly. So an artist needs something bigger, better, and different from
everyone else to get noticed. Strong creative visuals give these music videos a

with mainstream music trends, non-English music videos, especially Spanish,
Korean, Japanese, and French musicians top the charts regularly. Here are the top ten international music videos
