Ten of the world's most precious stones

According to the US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, when there is a thunderstorm with lightning and thunder you should avoid showering, washing in the bathtub and doing the dishes (source cnn.com).

The reason, according to CNN, is that lightning would be able to travel through pipes and that is why you should avoid contact with plumbing and running water, to avoid the risk of being struck.

The danger with lightning, therefore, is not only present when you are outside but potentially also inside.

However, bees are threatened from many sources, including habitat loss, pesticide use and climate change.

It is important that we all take steps to protect bees and their environment.

History is unfortunately full of episodes in which natural catastrophes have claimed a very high number of victims.

Looking at the case history, among the main causes that have triggered natural disasters throughout history are earthquakes, followed by floods and cyclones. These are natural phenomena beyond the control of man, who often manages to do very little, even in terms of prevention, against them.

The downside of all this is, of course, the high number of victims and the destruction that such phenomena generally entail. Often, in both cases, with devastating effects of great magnitude. (source: livescience)

Each of us may go through moments of uncertainty at work, and recognising these signs could be crucial in preparing for change.

We have explored gestures, behaviours and situations that could indicate a threat to your job position, with the aim of providing awareness and inspiration to react positively in such circumstances.

Some of these situations taken individually may not be indicative of such a drastic consequence as dismissal, but taking a moment to carefully observe each situation and reflect on your personal experience is nevertheless a way to prevent unpleasant situations from occurring.

In some of these cases, however, one is not appreciated and one is not to blame for this: if it happens, it is good to look around for a new opportunity.
