The Microchip That Changed the World Turns 50
THE WORLD CHANGED forever on November 15, 1971. And hardly anyone noticed.

Why do animals Hibernate?
Some species have developed adaptations to the conditions that allow them to live longer under malnutrition: they enter a state known as hibernation - and what happens when an animal sleeps in bed is even more amazing than the long-term threat - extreme. metabolic changes occur in the animal's body as body temperature drops and heart rate and shortness of breath to conserve energy - some animals slow down similarly, eat less, and move - while other species enter the same area.

Why Is Pluto No Longer A Planet?
Since the 1960s, a few scientific articles have used the term "planet" and in orbits of other bodies in the solar system - at least in some large rotunda, including the moon - to help have an extra label "planet" if they want to talk more about all things around the sun. .

The Multi-Legged Menace
It’s the middle of the night and you are deep in slumber. Better yet, you are having one of the best dreams you have ever had. Suddenly, the dream fades away and you find yourself awake, staring around in darkness, wondering what outside force has interfered with the wondrous state of euphoria? The answer comes in the form of minute drumming over a piece of paper you have carelessly left lying on the floor. The inquiry of why paper would be making an REM disturbing sound plagues your mind, and fear invades your thoughts because you know the only sound to match that is a tiny multi-legged terror. Slowly reaching for your lamp, you flick it on to reveal if your fears have manifested into the reality you hope it isn’t. The bright blinding beam shines directly over the floor where the paper lies helplessly and just inches away from it, confirming exactly what you thought, is the multi-legged arthropod known as: centipedes.

It’s All About (The) gut health
Gut health comes from an orchestrated balance of different micro-bacteria within the different parts of your gastrointestinal system. Parts of your digestive system, particularly micro bacteria, digest the food you eat. Additionally, they keep other harmful bacteria within your gut at bay from causing diseases. And so, striking the perfect balance in your gut’s microbiome is essential. If they’re not balanced, your gut ends up in a sorry state, and you’ll suffer through numerous health problems. A healthy gut needs to be nourished with healthy bacteria in the digestive tract with a mix of probiotics and prebiotics which are essential for both intestinal and overall health. The gut has to be fed well for it to be healthy.
