Amazing Facts

Hugo Boss AG, often styled as BOSS, is a German luxury fashion house headquartered in Metzingen. It was founded in 1924 by Hugo Boss and originally produced general purpose clothing. With the rise of the Nazi Party in the 1930s, Boss began to produce and sell Nazi uniforms. Boss would eventually supply the wartime German government with uniforms for organizations such as the Hitler Youth and Waffen-SS, resulting in a large boost in sales. After World War II and the founder's death in 1948, Hugo Boss started to turn its focus from uniforms to men's suits. The company went public in 1988 and introduced a fragrance line that same year, added mens- and womenswear diffusion lines in 1997, a full women's collection in 2000 as well as children's clothing in 2006/2007, and has since evolved into a major global fashion house. As of 2016 it owned more than 1,100 retail stores worldwide. ہیوگو باس اے جی ، جسے اکثر BOSS کے طور پر اسٹائل کیا جاتا ہے ، ایک جرمن پرتعیش فیشن ہاؤس ہے جس

Every year for the past 100 years or so, the little city of Yoro, Honduras, has experienced some very strange weather. Typically occurring in May or June, "lluvia de peces" or "rain of fish" is an annual weather event in which hundreds of fish rain from the sky onto the city's streets in the wake of severe thunderstorms. "Fish rain" or "animal rain," as the phenomenon is commonly known, has been reported around the world for centuries. But scientific explanations for why the phenomenon occurs are few and far between. One hypothesis suggests that a fish-rain such as lluvia de peces originates with waterspouts, which are tornadoes that move over water, sucking up small creatures living below the surface — usually fish and frogs — and depositing them elsewhere. However, waterspouts are not known to carry their aquatic cargo great distances. This doesn't help explain Yoro's fishy weather, because the fish that end up stranded there are no

Scientists have shown that the average person blinks 15-20 times per minute. That's up to 1,200 times per hour and a whopping 28,800 times in a day—much more often than we need to keep our eyeballs lubricated. In fact, we spend about 10 percent of our waking hours with our eyes closed. So why do we blink so much? New research from Japan's Osaka University found that blinking may serve as a form of momentary rest for the brain, giving the mind a chance to wander and "go offline." These brief breaks may last just a split second, or even a few seconds. When our brains aren't concentrated on a task, brain regions known as the "default mode network" come alive, allowing our mind to switch into an idle mode—a phenomenon researchers discovered decades ago. But how does blinking affect this idle state? According to the new research, blinking and the brain at rest go hand in hand. In order to understand this phenomenon, scientists monitored the brain activity of

Hurricanes are the most violent storms on Earth. People call these storms by other names, such as typhoons or cyclones, depending on where they occur. The scientific term for all these storms is tropical cyclone. Only tropical cyclones that form over the Atlantic Ocean or eastern Pacific Ocean are called "hurricanes." Whatever they are called, tropical cyclones all form the same way. Tropical cyclones are like giant engines that use warm, moist air as fuel. That is why they form only over warm ocean waters near the equator. The warm, moist air over the ocean rises upward from near the surface. Because this air moves up and away from the surface, there is less air left near the surface. Another way to say the same thing is that the warm air rises, causing an area of lower air pressure below. سمندری طوفان زمین پر انتہائی پُرتشدد طوفان ہیں۔  لوگ طوفان کو دوسرے ناموں سے کہتے ہیں ، جیسے طوفان یا طوفان ، جہاں ہوتے ہیں اس پر انحصار کرتے ہیں۔  ان تمام طوفانوں کے لئے سائنسی اصطلاح اشن

The New York Times this week published  the results of a survey in which 511 epidemiologists and infectious disease specialists  were asked about “when they expect to resume 20 activities of daily life, assuming that the pandemic and the public health response to it unfold as they expect.” The Times noted that the answers are not guidelines for the public, but rather represent the respondents’ own circumstances, risk tolerance and expectations about when there will be widespread testing, contact tracing, treatment and vaccination for COVID-19.  The respondents “mostly agreed that outdoor activities and small groups were safer than being indoors or in a crowd,” and that masks would be necessary for a long time. “Fresh air, sun, socialization and a healthy activity will be just as important for my mental health as my physical well-being,” said Anala Gossai, a scientist at Flatiron Health, a health technology firm.  The outdoors holds a special appeal in a time of isolation and social dis
