 The word "summer" is derived from the Old English word "sumor" or "sumer," which is believed to have originated from the Proto-Germanic word "sumaraz." In the Northern Hemisphere, summer solstice marks the beginning of summer and is the longest day of the year. It usually occurs around June 20th or 21st. On the summer solstice in the Arctic Circle, the sun remains visible for 24 hours, resulting in a phenomenon known as the "Midnight Sun."

Snakes can predict earthquakes. R esearchers in China have found that many animals are actually able to predict earthquakes to varying levels of success. It’s come to light that snakes are the most reliable, sensing earthquakes from as far as 75 miles away (121 km). What’s more impressive is that they can sense an earthquake as many as five days before it actually occurs! When a snake senses an earthquake, it will run (or slither, in this case) away from its nest, even in the darkest days of winter.   Bananas are curved because they grow towards the sun. L ong have philosophers pondered the humble banana, arguing until the sun goes down as to why they’re curved. It turns out that bananas go through a process called “negative geo-tropism,” which causes them to grow upwards towards the sun instead of towards the ground. This, in turn, gives the banana its familiar curved shape. The original London Bridge is now in Arizona. T he London Bridge, originally constructed in 1831, was ...

  H abit building (and breaking) is one of the hardest things we can do, but it's also one of the most important for our long-term success and happiness. What I find to be a good rule, however, is the 30-day trial period: If you can sustain an activity for the duration of an entire month, no matter how unpleasant or uncomfortable it is at first, it will develop into a habit. Here are five simple daily habits that have the power to change your life for the better.     1. Wake up early. Make it a habit (just like your morning routine) to wake up early -- preferably no later than 6:00 a.m. each day. Try to get up at the same time, more or less, each day. Disrupting our sleep cycle by changing our wake up time is actually not conducive to productivity. It'll be hard at first, but try to rise earlier consistently, so you can always live your fullest day. You won't regret it.   2. Stay hydrated. Not drinking enough water leaves us with headaches, encou...
