The human body is an incredible organism, full of wonderful complexities and functions.

Every day, it performs an infinite number of activities without us even realising it.

But behind these seemingly simple actions lie curious secrets and extraordinary phenomena. In this photo gallery, we explore seven fascinating curiosities about the human body that will leave you amazed.

Beer is one of the most popular beverages in the world.

It doesn't matter if it's winter or summer, for so many people every opportunity is good to consume a great beer, and this is true for so many countries around the world.

Here are who are the world's biggest beer drinkers per capita (i.e., those where the most beer is drunk, on average, per person).

Some old cameras have great value for collectors and photography enthusiasts: if kept in good condition, they are still highly valued and sought after.

This photo gallery presents a selection of old cameras that, despite their age, still hold great value, both for their aesthetic beauty and for what they represented in the world of photography.

We discover together some of the old cameras that were sold at a particularly high price. (source: expertphotography)

Many people consider difficulty sleeping as an annoyance rather than a real illness, so much so that they avoid talking to their doctor about it. 

However, sleeping poorly has a negative impact on our days and, in the long run, also on our health. 

If you are experiencing difficulties falling asleep, it is important to take steps to improve the situation. 

There are some changes you can make to wake up in the morning feeling really rested. 

In particular, you should eliminate from your bedroom objects and sources of disturbance that may interfere with your circadian rhythm and the production of cortisol, the stress-related hormone.

What are these things to eliminate to promote proper sleep hygiene?

Do Hollywood actors and singers also have problems with the law? Well, one would say especially actors and singers have problems with law enforcement. The wild and reckless life sometimes leads people to have problems with authority.

As proof of this, there are plenty of shots around the net showing celebrities in the moment of arrest, even actors and singers who we think are blameless and perfect in front of the cameras. In reality, there are often many skeletons hiding in the wardrobes.

Out of sheer morbid curiosity, we have chosen to show you these celebrities as you have never seen them before.

Human engineering is now capable of creating structures that may seem to border on science fiction. Bridges are one of the oldest man-made structures, yet thanks to modern technology they are becoming more and more modern, larger and safer.

The Guinness World Record 2023 has compiled a list of all the most incredible records held by bridges, from the longest to the widest, from pedestrian bridges to covered bridges, and even those built....thanks to a 3D printer.

If you like extreme engineering that tends towards the unbelievable, then you absolutely cannot miss it. One of these records is absolutely incredible.

A ban on dying is a social political phenomenon in which a law is passed stating that it is illegal to die in a specific territory, municipality, city or even an island.

The first case of a ban on dying occurred in the 5th century BC, on the Greek island of Delos; here dying was forbidden for religious reasons.

Today, on the other hand, in most cases, the prohibition of death is a 'humorous' response to the government's failure to approve the expansion of municipal cemeteries or the granting of land to build new ones.

It happens in Europe (Spain, France, Italy), but also in Japan and Brazil.

The need to protect the health of the planet is leading the world of work to have an increasing need for qualified personnel who can deal with certain issues.

Green jobs help companies to convert from a sustainability point of view. These jobs are in fact related to the well-being and protection of the planet, aiming to safeguard the Earth by supporting human development without negatively impacting the environment.

The sectors in which Green Jobs are most in demand are the chemical, pharmaceutical, oil, construction, automotive and plastics industries. But also the service sector such as transport, logistics, catering, tourism, health and education.

Vincent van Gogh was one of the greatest painters in the history of art. Born in the Netherlands in 1853, he was one of the leading exponents of post-impressionism. 

His works are characterised by intense and rapid brushstrokes, vivid colours and a deep emotionality. Among his most famous works are 'Starry Night', 'The Sunflower Cycle' and 'The Bedroom'. 

Van Gogh had a difficult life, marked by psychological and social problems. He lived in poverty and loneliness, devoting himself completely to art, producing more than 2000 works. He died in 1890, aged just 37, leaving an artistic legacy that still inspires artists around the world.

Let us discover some of his best-known works.

Assessing which are the major religions, i.e. the world's major religions, can be done by a variety of methods; in many cases, statements about the relative importance of a religion reflect a particular point of view (many adherents of a religion consider their own faith more influential or widespread than it actually is). Two methods are used in this entry: number of adherents and the definition used by scholars of religions.

For the relations between them, see the entries on religious pluralism and interreligious dialogue.

The number of adherents of each religion is calculated by a combination of censuses and surveys for countries where there is no religious classification in official censuses; results may vary widely depending on the way the survey questions are asked and the representative sample chosen. Informal and unorganised religions are the most difficult to analyse.

Food has undoubtedly been of paramount importance in the development of our modern civilization. Food in particular made our bodies stronger and helped extend the average lifespan of early humans by many decades.

The ability to create particular foods and dishes, in short, to process food, is still valued today, and, interestingly, many of the things that are the basis of our meals go back to ideas far into the past. Bread, wine, beer, oil, cheese, so many things go back even thousands of years.

In this short article, we will take you along with us to discover the origins of our most common foods.
