  68. <p><a href="https://www.japan.travel/en/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Japan </a>celebrates Christmas in the <strong>most extraordinary way</strong> that one may find intriguing. Until the <strong>1970s</strong>, Christmas was just a plain holiday overlooked by the Japanese. Then entered <strong><a href="https://www.del-sole.co.jp/en/about-us/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Takeshi Okawara</a></strong>, who opened the first<strong> <a href="https://online.kfc.co.in/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">KFC </a></strong>outlet<strong> </strong>in <a href="https://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2155.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nagyoga</a> in <strong>1970</strong>. Four years later, in <strong>1974</strong>, KFC launched their campaign that took over the country called <strong>&#8220;Kentucky for Christmas.</strong>&#8220;</p>
  69.  
  70.  
  71.  
  72. <p>This campaign was a success, and the advertisements for these <strong>chicken buckets during Christmas </strong>featured the song <strong>&#8220;My Old Kentucky Home&#8221;</strong> by a well-known composer,<a href="https://www.loc.gov/item/ihas.200035701/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Stephen Foster</a>. </p>
  73.  
  74.  
  75.  
  76. <p>So, instead of participating in the usual Christmas celebration of<strong> decorating houses and preparing meals </strong>like turkey and Christmas cookies, the Japanese decided to have a celebration of their own that was not linked to Christmas but became a tradition somehow since the<strong> iconic campaign</strong> by <strong>ordering themselves a bucket of fried chicken</strong>.</p>

  90. <p>A Christmas tree decorated with a cobweb is quite an unusual tradition in<a href="https://ukraine.ua/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Ukraine</a>; it has become a tradition where, every Christmas, <strong>families decorate their tree</strong> with <strong>artificial cobwebs </strong>and other items. The tradition<strong> goes way back to folklore</strong>, where a <strong>widow who could not afford</strong> anything lived in a cramped hut with her children and could not afford to decorate the Christmas tree with them.</p>
  91.  
  92.  
  93.  
  94. <p>It is said that the spiders in the house heard everything, and they took pity on her and <strong>decided to spin beautiful and intricate webs around the tree</strong>. The following day, the children woke up to a lovely Christmas tree and were surprised.</p>
  95.  
  96.  
  97.  
  98. <p>Moreover, spider webs hold a<strong> special symbol</strong> in the <strong>Ukrainian household</strong> that <strong>symbolizes good fortune for the coming year</strong>, which is why they are also used as a form of decoration. Although this tradition has become less followed, some families still do not miss adding cobwebs to their Christmas trees and maintaining the tradition.</p>

  123.  
  124. <p>The people still don&#8217;t give up and decide to make the goat again the following Christmas. There are also Christmas ornaments of the Yule goats, which you may find hanging from the <strong>branches of the Christmas tree in many households</strong>.</p>

  241.  
  242.  
  243.  
  244. <p>There are many theories about the reason behind the Christmas stockings. One such theory is that a widowed father lived with three of his daughters in a village. He was so poor that they <strong>couldn&#8217;t afford anything</strong>, let alone Christmas gifts for his daughters.</p>
  245.  
  246.  
  247.  
  248. <p><a href="https://www.nationalgeographic.com/history/article/131219-santa-claus-origin-history-christmas-facts-st-nicholas" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Saint Nicholas</a> heard of the family&#8217;s trouble and decided to help them. He knew the father would not willingly accept gifts, so he used the chimney. When he decided to come down the chimney, he found the family members&#8217; stockings hung out to dry. Saint Nicholas then placed gold coins and other gifts into the stockings so the family could enjoy their Christmas.</p>
  249.  
  250.  
  251.  
  252. <p>Today, hanging <strong>Christmas stockings by the chimney</strong> has become a<strong> custom for children</strong> not only in the <a href="https://www.gousa.in/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">United States</a> but all across the world. On the morning of Christmas, they wake up to their stockings filled with gifts.</p>

  314. <p>Weekends are for relaxing, taking time off, and chilling and downtime. It will help you recover from the drain that you felt from the whole week. That is the most popular idea among people. But some people believe that rather than just relaxing on these two days what if we do something that helps us make all seven days better? </p>
  315.  
  316.  
  317.  
  318. <p>Let me take you down the road that I&#8217;m considering. So, I work in a corporate job. Work is packed from Monday till Friday, so much so that my life in other spheres is completely hampered. On days that I get a couple hours some or the other plan is already on schedule. There will be dinners with friends and family, or family shopping, or something as small as getting my nails done. </p>
  319.  
  320.  
  321.  
  322. <p>Mondays are usually very tough because it feels like a start to so many things, and quite literally for the office I have to start prepping for Mondays right from Sunday evenings. So, while doing this for a few months I realized that everything that has been worked out before takes less time when it is used.</p>
  323.  
  324.

  326. <blockquote class="reddit-embed-bq" data-embed-height="556"><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/EatCheapAndHealthy/comments/18nq8ow/comment/kecijtp/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Comment</a><br> by<a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/Suneffed/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">u/Suneffed</a> from discussion<a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/EatCheapAndHealthy/comments/18nq8ow/meal_prepping_tips_anyone/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"></a><br> in<a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/EatCheapAndHealthy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">EatCheapAndHealthy</a></blockquote><script async="" src="https://embed.reddit.com/widgets.js" charset="UTF-8"></script>
  327.  
  328.  
  329.  
  330. <p>This is when I started planning my entire week ahead of time, every Saturday or Friday night if I am not so occupied; I make a list of things that I need in the coming week and how will I procure them &#8211; both food and service. So, this is where meal prep also jumped in. </p>
  331.  
  332.  
  333.  
  334. <p>Due to long, weary hours in the office, it becomes difficult to come back home and prepare food from scratch. Similarly, it is not easy to manage a complete nutritious breakfast or lunch on a working day because that requires a lot of time and effort.</p>
  335.  
  336.  
  337.  
  338. <blockquote class="reddit-embed-bq" style="height:316px" data-embed-height="316"><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/EatCheapAndHealthy/comments/xmhl30/meal_prep_a_guide/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Meal Prep: A Guide!</a><br> by<a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/RinTheLost/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">u/RinTheLost</a> in<a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/EatCheapAndHealthy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">EatCheapAndHealthy</a></blockquote><script async="" src="https://embed.reddit.com/widgets.js" charset="UTF-8"></script>
  339.  
  340.  
  341.  
  342. <p>Preparing for your meals beforehand comes in handy in such cases. Meal preps cut down your cooking time by half. It also is a good option because now you do not waste any supplies, plus you never have to think of a thousand options.</p>
  343.  
  344.  
  345.  
  346. <p>Now, the main reason why meal prepping helped me is not just the time and effort but what I was eating. Planning my meals on Saturday for the whole week I bring all necessary ingredients by Saturday prepare everything and store them on Sundays for the entire week. </p>
  347.  
  348.  
  349.  
  350. <p>So I know what I will be eating every day. I can control my portion size and calorie intake. I can ensure that I&#8217;m eating a healthy mix of foods full of nutrients. I have a dietician working with me who sends me a monthly diet plan and accordingly, I incorporate those ingredients in my food.</p>
  351.  
  352.  
  353.  
  354. <p>This way, I eat healthy and home-cooked food. It is high in nutritional value. It helps me attain my fitness goals and also save a lot of time which I can use for workouts to get in a much better shape. I also make sure that the meals that I carry in my office are at least partially homemade. </p>

  383. <p>It feels very peaceful and soothing to sleep in till late to get that extra 30, 15, or even 10 minutes. It is like relaxation, and sometimes it helps you feel better and more charged up.</p>
  384.  
  385.  
  386.  
  387. <p>I loved sleeping in late and always felt that people who wake up early for whatever reasons are ruining their sleep and it must be affecting their day in the long run. It also felt weird to think that they did this every day. Until I set in my morning routine. </p>
  388.  
  389.  
  390.  
  391. <blockquote class="reddit-embed-bq" data-embed-height="396"><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/productivity/comments/15b35jq/comment/jto29xp/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Comment</a><br> by<a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/MillsVI29/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">u/MillsVI29</a> from discussion<a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/productivity/comments/15b35jq/how_do_people_who_wake_up_early_in_the_morning/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"></a><br> in<a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/productivity/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">productivity</a></blockquote><script async="" src="https://embed.reddit.com/widgets.js" charset="UTF-8"></script>
  392.  
  393.  
  394.  
  395. <p>So, I tried this a few times earlier. Also, whenever I tried a new workout, I would wake up early and finish my workout before starting the day but could not get into bed early. This way, after the few initial days, I&#8217;d feel very fatigued due to the added exercise and lesser sleep and eventually again shift to evening workout routines.</p>
  396.  
  397.  
  398.  
  399. <p>But last year during winter my mother started doing yoga in the morning, she had her yoga instructor come over at home and her day suddenly looked very streamlined. She felt better both physically and mentally. </p>
  400.  
  401.  
  402.  
  403. <blockquote class="reddit-embed-bq" style="height:316px" data-embed-height="316"><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/getdisciplined/comments/5fw8ho/advice_waking_up_early_will_change_your_life/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">[Advice] Waking Up Early Will Change Your Life</a><br> by<a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/petrichordog/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">u/petrichordog</a> in<a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/getdisciplined/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">getdisciplined</a></blockquote><script async="" src="https://embed.reddit.com/widgets.js" charset="UTF-8"></script>
  404.  
  405.  
  406.  
  407. <p>So, considering that I did not have to make a lot of effort to incorporate this morning&#8217;s schedule, I also joined her for the same. We both started doing yoga every morning with the instructor. It started with light yoga, and then she introduced us to different positions, meditation, and relaxation techniques.</p>
  408.  
  409.  
  410.  
  411. <p>So, after an hour-long session not only did we burn 200-300 calories but also started to get some sort of mental relaxation. How it turned my morning although was because I used to wake up 30 minutes before the session to get ready for it. </p>
  412.  
  413.  
  414.  
  415. <p>Now, the actual time when you feel the most sleepy and lousy was spent doing yoga, so that was replaced by energy and power. This gave me the stamina to perform better the whole day. I felt less tired and could get a lot more done due to two reasons. </p>
  416.  
  417.  
  418.  
  419. <p>One was that I had so much extra time on hand, and secondly, since I did not feel fatigued, I could get a lot done in just the first half of the day. Now, I have time to even space out my meals in a way that I can inculcate everything without stuffing myself.</p>
  420.  
  421.  
  422.  
  423. <blockquote class="reddit-embed-bq" data-embed-height="352"><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/getdisciplined/comments/5fw8ho/comment/daofld7/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Comment</a><br> by<a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/petrichordog/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">u/petrichordog</a> from discussion<a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/getdisciplined/comments/5fw8ho/advice_waking_up_early_will_change_your_life/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"></a><br> in<a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/getdisciplined/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">getdisciplined</a></blockquote><script async="" src="https://embed.reddit.com/widgets.js" charset="UTF-8"></script>
  424.  
  425.  
  426.  
  427. <p>The main reason although of getting a lot of time and productivity is the fact that when you are working in the morning a little bit before the hustle and bustle has started, you can be more focused. You can concentrate better, and you do not have a foggy brain because it is completely charged when you sleep. </p>
  428.  
  429.  
  430.  
  431. <p>So, the key takeaway would be to try getting up a little early and getting some workout done in the morning. Plan and begin your day early to have a more sorted out and relaxed day, and crash early. Because it is rightly said, &#8216;early to bed, early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise&#8217;</p>

  457. <p><span data-color="transparent">The first step at every wedding is to make a guest list and gather the guests&#8217; information. Many families stress themselves out thinking about how to collect addresses for <a href="https://www.template.net/graphic-design/design-invitations/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">invitations</a>.</span></p>
  458. <p><span data-color="transparent">Before collecting information, you must ask them for their consent to send wedding invitations in the mail or to their <a href="https://locationiq.com/glossary/postal-address" target="_blank" rel="noopener">postal address</a>. Now, let us gain some knowledge on ways to gather wedding addresses.</span></p>
  459. <h3><strong><span data-color="transparent">1. Start Early to Collect Addresses</span></strong></h3>
  460. <p><span data-color="transparent">First, start making the guest list. Sit with your family and discuss whom to call for the wedding. You will suffer significantly if you do not finalize the guests and</span> collect guest addresses.</p>
  461. <p><span data-color="transparent">This part comes first when your wedding preparation starts. It would be best if you started the work quickly. You will need to spend a lot of time collecting addresses.</span></p>
  462. <p><span data-color="transparent">Save the dates for the wedding, and then start working. Decide the wedding dates with your family and your fiance&#8217;s family. Be ready with the number of people you are going to invite. </span></p>
  463. <p><span data-color="transparent">It will be difficult to book a wedding hall and catering services. Because you must decide on the wedding hall based on guests, this applies to wedding vendors.</span></p>
  464. <p><span data-color="transparent">So, be sure to check your wedding guest list before asking for the guests&#8217;</span> information<span data-color="transparent">.

  467. <p><span data-color="transparent">After finalizing your wedding guest list, please share it with your fiance and family. Create an Excel sheet, Spreadsheet, Word, or Google Documents. These applications will help you save wedding addresses.</span></p>
  468. <p><span data-color="transparent">These methods will consume less time and save you time. It is best that you use Excel or a spreadsheet. In a column, write your wedding guest&#8217;s name, and in front of that, write guest addresses.</span></p>
  469. <p><span data-color="transparent">Please make a separate column for their phone numbers and mailing addresses. All can work on it at once and complete it quickly. Call the people you want to invite and ask if you have to mail or post the invitation.</span></p>
  470. <p><span data-color="transparent">Remember that before collecting the address, ask them if they are okay with it, and then only ask them.</span></p>
  471. <h3><strong><span data-color="transparent">3. Create a Questionnaire on Google Forms</span></strong></h3>
  472. <p><span data-color="transparent">Collecting</span> guest info and<span data-color="transparent"> addresses through online forms is more convenient than calling people individually. Type all you require in the <a href="https://zapier.com/blog/how-to-use-google-forms/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Google Form</a> or any other form. You can use the form to gather information.  </span></p>
  473. <p><span data-color="transparent">First, write something sweet in the heading, like ‘Be part of our most auspicious day.’ Then add name, address (house number or floor number), address (street, road, or location), email address, mobile number, and work number.</span></p>
  474. <p><span data-color="transparent">A Google Form questionnaire can help you in many ways. You can copy the link to the form and send it to people you know on different social media platforms. This way, gathering addresses becomes easy.</span></p>
  475. <p><span data-color="transparent">With the help of Google Forms, guests can type their addresses, and later, you can collect the responses. There will be no mix-up of addresses, names, or phone numbers. So, later, the information you have got can be copied into any document. </span></p>
  476. <p><span data-color="transparent">Collect all the guest&#8217;s responses and keep all the addresses together. Finally, the process of gathering the wedding address comes to an end. </span></p>

  512. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">Some really beautiful and astonishing species&#8217; existence on this planet has left people surprised and one such species is that of Gorillas. Did you know that gorillas are one of the most intelligent species and one of the largest great apes?</span></p>
  513.  
  514.  
  515.  
  516. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">Here in this article, we will learn about </span><strong>western lowland gorillas</strong><span style="font-weight: 400">, </span><b>eastern lowland gorillas</b><span style="font-weight: 400">, </span><b>mountain gorillas</b><span style="font-weight: 400">, </span>and cross-river gorillas, their looks, the lifestyle of gorillas, and also <strong>what gorillas eat</strong>. We would also see and learn about the different subspecies, their characteristics,<span style="font-weight: 400"> and feeding habits. You will be surprised to know that gorillas share similar senses to other humans as well as apes. Their sense works excellently and proves to be really helpful for them throughout their lives.&nbsp;</span></p>

  520. <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>1. What Exactly Counts in Gorilla’s Diet?</strong></h2>
  521.  
  522.  
  523.  
  524. <p>What gorillas eat may vary from region to region but broadly it remains similar since their bodies are constituted in a way that a plant-based diet remains best for them and their digestive systems.</p>
  525.  
  526.  
  527.  
  528. <p>The amount of this food varies for each gorilla as their appetite varies. The female gorillas eat a lot less than average adult male gorillas. As close as they are to nature, they keep their lifestyle very close and ingrained in nature, which is why their activities are so interconnected with their surroundings. this includes their food habits, which constitute a major part of their routine day as they spend it searching for food and eating food.</p>
  529.  
  530.  
  531.  
  532. <p>Well, typically, gorillas eat what they find in the forest and do not have a carnivore diet. They eat a huge variety of vegetables and fruits because that is what they get easily and locally. Yes, their huge bodies get filled with these diets. However, they might as well occasionally eat insects. Insects provide them with the protein that they need, but this eating of insects is very rare. They usually do not engage in wild behaviours such as eating other animals or the like.</p>
  533.  
  534.  
  535.  
  536. <p>The most common types of them include leaves, stems, piths, fruit, shoots, herbs, barks, flowers, grubs, termites, and ants. These are some of the food types that you can expect a gorilla to eat on a daily basis, and this is what they get served if they are kept in sanctuaries, if ever.</p>

  547. <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>2.1.&nbsp;Characteristics of Western Lowland Gorillas</strong></h3>
  548.  
  549.  
  550.  
  551. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">The </span><b>western lowland gorillas</b><span style="font-weight: 400"> are a species that is usually found in tropical forests and areas, as discussed above. These gorillas have a coat that is black in color. They are usually short and thin and have a series of gray-black-brown hairs that are found all around, covering their bodies. Now, when it comes to western lowland gorillas, you can also distinguish infants that are about four years of age with the small white hair tuft that is there on the rump. This is what even the gorilla mother uses to identify and track their infants. A very beautiful way to keep track of loved ones is what you will see amongst them. They can easily identify each other with such things.</span></p>
  552.  
  553.  
  554.  
  555. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">The adult </span><b>western lowland gorillas</b><span style="font-weight: 400"> have certain saddled white hair, which can be seen on the back. As far as the females are concerned, you can identify them with some gray hairs either on top of their head or below the ears, or even on their neck, which come as they grow old. The western gorilla species is </span>easy to distinguish because of their smaller ears and ridges, as well as their lips and noses, which are different from those of the other species. Thus, physically, they are very prominent and are <span style="font-weight: 400">adorable. The most interesting part is what they eat, which would astonish you.</span></p>
  556.  
  557.  
  558.  
  559. <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>2.2. Diet and Feeding Habits of Western Lowland Gorillas</strong></h3>
  560.  
  561.  
  562.  
  563. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">Given the huge bodies of gorillas, you must be expecting a really heavy, carnivorous diet,</span> expecting gorillas to eat meat. However, this is not the case. Gorillas live a herbivorous diet with lots of greenery and plants and stems. The Western lowland gorilla eats leaves as well as the stems of herbs along with vines and shrubs. They usually stay in forests and depend largely on the greenery around them. Even when gorillas are kept in certain sanctuaries, they are given huge amounts of greens,<span style="font-weight: 400"> including leaves, shrubs, and herbs.</span></p>
  564.  
  565.  
  566.  
  567. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">The Western gorillas eat a lot of </span><b>juicy fruits</b><span style="font-weight: 400"> as well, which is not as obvious as other species that have a very small</span> amount of fruit in their diets. The source of protein for them is the invertebrates that they find on the leaves as well as the fruits. You can expect an average male adult western gorilla to eat around <a href="https://nationalzoo.si.edu/animals/western-lowland-gorilla" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">32 kgs</a> of the diet each day in order to feel full, and females only have two-thirds of what males eat as part of <span style="font-weight: 400">their daily diet.&nbsp;</span></p>
  568.  
  569.  
  570.  
  571. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">So, now you know that gorillas probably won’t eat you as they see you, as the myth goes. They are very particular about the food that they eat and strictly try to keep it as herbivorous as possible.</span></p>

  586.  
  587.  
  588.  
  589. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">As mentioned, as the region changes so does the lifestyle and type of food but with gorillas in general or mountain gorillas, it&#8217;s very similar and can be summed up in the broad categories mentioned above. The thing with mountain gorillas is that you will see them spending a great part of their usual day just eating and it is mostly to do with plants.</span></p>

  595.  
  596.  
  597. <p><b>Mountain gorillas eat</b><span style="font-weight: 400"> plants for the most part of their diet, but yes, they also feed on snails, larvae, ants, and rotting wood, which provide them with sodium, thus getting salt. So, Do these </span><b>Mountain</b> <b>gorillas eat meat</b><span style="font-weight: 400">? Well, no, they don’t; they very rarely feed on insects, which would be a little harsh on them to count in meat.</span></p>

  609.  
  610.  
  611.  
  612. <p><b>Eastern lowland gorillas</b><span style="font-weight: 400"> are another very important species of gorillas. They are very popularly known as the Grauer’s gorilla. Amongst the four types of subspecies, the </span><b>lowland gorilla</b><span style="font-weight: 400"> is the largest. Here,</span> gorillas live in a slightly different way. They have some really stocky bodies with huge hands but short muzzles. This subspecies has faced a huge decrease because of the unrest in their areas of existence, which also has decreased by a great amount. The land that they had access to was reduced by several miles, leaving only a small patch on which they could live<span style="font-weight: 400">.</span></p>
  613.

  616. <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>4.2. Diet and Feeding Habits of Eastern Lowland Gorilla</strong></h3>
  617.  
  618.  
  619.  
  620. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">Similar to other gorillas, Eastern lowland gorillas also have a very vegetarian diet with plants as the primary source of food for them. Eastern lowland gorillas, as many wonder, do not depend on meat for their food. They, too, have a very herbivorous diet with occasional insect eating.</span></p>
  621.  
  622.  
  623.  
  624. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">Eastern lowland gorillas have a body structure where they have thumbs that are opposable, which helps them peel fruit easily, as do </span>bamboo shoots. This is their main source, but you might have heard eastern lowland gorillas are omnivorous, which is because some of them might eat animals on certain occasions for which they travel long distances and thus are called omnivorous, but this is very rare a case. Animals here include lizards, rats as well as rodent families and animals.</p>
  625.  
  626.  
  627.  
  628. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">Even when you look at the digestive system of gorillas, you will see that they have long intestines, which help them digest food well and absorb as many nutrients as possible, which means they were built to be plant-eaters.</span></p>

  636. <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>5.1. Characteristics of Cross River Gorillas</strong></h3>
  637.  
  638.  
  639.  
  640. <p><b>Cross river gorilla</b><span style="font-weight: 400"> is another subspecies that comes under the western gorillas. They have fur, which is black or brownish grey, similar to the western ones, but they differ in their hands, feet, and faces.</span> The heads that they carry are cone-shaped with a reddish color crest. They have huge groups of around two to twenty people as they are very social, and just like any other animal species, the group usually has a male as the dominant leader. The female ratio is around six to seven,<span style="font-weight: 400"> and there are children too.</span></p>
  641.  
  642.  
  643.  
  644. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">These gorillas used to live in areas that are now taken upon by a huge number of humans, reducing the territory of the gorillas and eventually clearing the forests for their resources which is why the gorillas are left with very few resources. Thus, the gorillas are now left with a very small population and it is very difficult to come across one as around <a href="https://wwf.panda.org/discover/knowledge_hub/endangered_species/great_apes/gorillas" target="_blank" rel="noopener">200 to 300</a> are left throughout the world.</span></p>

  648. <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>5.2. Feeding Habits of Cross River Gorillas</strong></h3>
  649.  
  650.  
  651.  
  652. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">Cross River gorillas</span> spend a major chunk of their day eating. This<span style="font-weight: 400"> <a href="https://seaworld.org/animals/all-about/gorilla/diet/#:~:text=Methods%20of%20Collecting%20Food,only%20eat%20parts%20of%20vegetation" target="_blank" rel="noopener">gorilla&#8217;s diet</a> includes a lot of leaves, nuts, liana, and</span> berries. They keep searching for their food and never give up, even if it means going long distances and out of their typical living<span style="font-weight: 400"> areas.</span></p>
  653.  
  654.  
  655.  
  656. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">However, they hardly cause any damage even when outside their residing areas. Very rarely has anyone complained of them causing a problem or harming anybody. They are very safe animals and prey on plants and minute insects, but not humans. They, however, know how to keep themselves safe in case of any human intruder.</span></p>
  657.  
  658.  
  659.  
  660. <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>6. How Gorillas Search for Food</strong></h2>
  661.  
  662.  
  663.  
  664. <p>Gorillas share many sensory traits with humans and other apes, using sight, smell, taste, touch, and hearing to thrive in their environment. When it comes to foraging, sight and smell are key senses. Their color vision helps them identify ripe plants, while binocular vision aids in depth perception. Their acute sense of smell helps them detect unfamiliar scents in their jungle habitat, although hearing is primarily reserved for detecting potential threats rather than finding food. Gorillas skillfully use their dexterous hands for tasks like tearing apart branches and stems.</p>
  665.  
  666.  
  667.  
  668. <p>Gorillas typically travel daily from <a href="https://seaworld.org/animals/all-about/gorilla/behavior/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">0.5 to 1 km</a> in search of food. Between foraging sessions, they rest before moving on to explore new areas. Since their territories are relatively small, they don&#8217;t often compete with each other for food. Gorillas have a varied diet, including both aquatic and terrestrial plants. When they stumble upon termite or ant colonies, they may break into the nests to feast on the larvae, thanks to their robust jaws and teeth adapted for leaf tearing and chewing.</p>

  677.  
  678.  
  679. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">Gorillas, by nature, are very shy, and they try to stay far from any human contact as much as possible. However, nobody likes intruders, and one should never try to disturb the peace of such peace-loving animals. </span></p>
  680.  
  681.  
  682.  
  683. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">If anyone tries to get too close to the families of gorillas, the leader, who usually would be the one with a silverback gorilla (the male gorillas), might get angry, which can lead to harsh consequences, but the intention is never to hurt but to stay safe. So, as long as they are not provoked, they do not misbehave or attack any human or, for that matter, any animal.</span></p>
  684.  
  685.  
  686.  
  687. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">To conclude, we can say There is a misconception that they are harmful and meat eaters. Gorillas are very loving and shy animals with huge bodies, but they are actually very safe and have a diet even more human than any of us.</span></p>
  688.  
  689.  
  690.  
  691. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">But if available they eat termites, grubs, and sometimes ants. For any sanctuary, it is absolutely safe and good to serve the gorillas with plants but make sure you serve them in a good and heavy quantity as their body demands and keep including varieties like stems, herbs, bamboo, shrubs, and fruits.</span></p>
  692.  
  693.  
  694.  
  695. <p>However, it should never be seen as an opportunity to intrude on their privacy and be a threat to them, for that might intrigue them, making them angry, which could cause some harm.</p>

  720. <p>Many people enjoy cartoons regardless of their age, and it is a good idea to revisit the ones you used to watch. It can be very relaxing and comforting to go back to the ones you used to love.</p>
  721.  
  722.  
  723.  
  724. <p>I do not know how it is for others, but watching TV shows sometimes gives me anxiety. However, a lot of the cartoons do not have a solid storyline. I guess it is very enjoyable to watch these characters go about their day without threats and just enjoy their lives. So, here are some of my favourite cartoons, which you may already know, and if you don&#8217;t, you should check them out!</p>
  725.  
  726.  
  727.  
  728. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">1. Oswald</h2>
  729.  
  730.  
  731.  
  732. <p>This one does not come on TV anymore, but I remember watching it as a kid and loved it! I have always wanted to live in Big City. It is so peaceful, and they have such slow mornings and lovely days! It is such a small, tight-knit community; they always have so much fun performing mundane activities like gardening, cooking, etc.</p>

  737.  
  738.  
  739.  
  740.  
  741. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">2. Peppa Pig</h2>
  742.  
  743.  
  744.  
  745. <p>This is another cartoon that I love for how peaceful it is. They look forward to the muddy puddles after the rain, and Peppa and George love their dolls and go on picnics with them. They play computer games, watch cartoons, and go on outings. It is all so simple, and they are also a tight-knit community.</p>
  746.  
  747.  
  748.  
  749. <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

  753.  
  754.  
  755. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">3. Masha and the Bear</h2>
  756.  
  757.  
  758.  
  759. <p>Bear can do it all for whatever impossible task you are thinking of! He can cook, play the piano, is a scientist, magician and so on, is there anything he can not do! The only thing he cannot do is manage Masha and keep her out of trouble.</p>
  760.  
  761.  
  762.  
  763. <p>This one is not so mundane, as Bear builds time machines and uses chemicals to help his flowers grow instantly. They go to space and even have a penguin over sometimes, as Bear helped with hatching it! It is a beautiful and exciting cartoon.</p>

  768.  
  769.  
  770. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">4. Miffy and Friends</h2>
  771.  
  772.  
  773.  
  774. <p>Miffy is simply one of the cutest characters I know! She has fun in the snow with her dog, waits a long time for the apples to ripe, and then has apple pie! And she loves carrots! She also has fun with her friends and family, who are so cute!</p>
  775.  
  776.  
  777.  
  778. <p>This cartoon is also mostly filled with mundane activities, but the way it is portrayed is so beautiful! The characters have so much fun eating and playing around. It is such a peaceful life when you watch it; you can forget all your problems for a short while.</p>

  813. <p>Urban wildlife photography, even the name sounds something exciting and adventurous. People go to many nature parks to find and capture distinct wildlife pictures because it becomes difficult to find native wildlife like jungles in cities. However, the wonders that you can find in cities have also some exceptions. For instance, deers with their fawn in parks look lovable but have you ever tried to capture little puppies with their mum, aren&#8217;t they adorable too? </p>
  814.  
  815.  
  816.  
  817. <p>And I guess one of the reasons urban wildlife photography is becoming more popular is it&#8217;s quite exciting to see how different animals live alongside humans in the same environment. So, are you also into urban wildlife photography? If yes, I have brought some amazing photography tips to improve your urban wildlife photography skills.</p>

  826.  
  827.  
  828.  
  829. <p>Finding wildlife in suburban locations like parks or gardens can be useful in capturing animals interacting with humans and I guess the best part of suburban locations is that wildlife is also getting used to human surroundings and is adaptive to this environment, where they aren&#8217;t afraid of humans much. To capture more distinct pictures and unpredicted actions of animals, suburban locations are excellent fits.</p>

  840.  
  841.  
  842.  
  843. <p>Wildlife living in urban areas has already gotten used to running vehicles on the road and some of the animals don&#8217;t bother it like dogs, foxes, rabbits, and groundhogs. Cars can become excellent portable hides for you to capture urban wildlife. Also, cars offer you a sense of safety from some dangerous animals like foxes who might attack if they notice your presence.</p>

  854.  
  855.  
  856.  
  857. <p>Another way to capture the best photographic moments of urban wildlife is by fixing trail cameras where you can&#8217;t go every time. For instance, places like cemeteries, deserted roads where people often go less, or parks where you might not be able to go early in the morning. Trail cameras are an excellent choice to capture the best unexpected moments.</p>

  868.  
  869.  
  870.  
  871. <p>I think there is wildlife that actually exists at night when humans are not around like urban foxes. Although it&#8217;s difficult to imagine a fox in a town area, there are possibilities. Heading out at night may allow you to find something really unexpected that you couldn&#8217;t think of. However, at night, safety must be your first priority as the senses of animals are high and you can&#8217;t predict their next actions.</p>

  880.  
  881.  
  882.  
  883. <p>Sticking to the quiet locations can provide you with some benefits as wildlife can be found easily in quiet locations where people usually go less. These types of locations become the best places for animals to hide. Also, ensure while waiting for the perfect moment to occur, stay as quiet as possible even without moving much. It may be difficult but I think that&#8217;s the price photographers pay for encountering their best moments ever.</p>

  938. <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>1.1. The Winter Solstice</strong></h3>
  939.  
  940.  
  941.  
  942. <p>The Winter Solstice is usually when the days are the shortest and the nights get longer but in Paganism this day is marked as important when the days get longer and nights get shorter. The winter solstice is also known as a Yule celebration as a way to enjoy the moment and lights.</p>
  943.  
  944.  
  945.  
  946. <p>The Winter Solstice is celebrated differently by many traditions and cultures. But, in Pagan Winter Solstice is celebrated as the birth of the sun and the start of a new journey. The pagan celebrations include lighting candles or fires indicating the return of new hope and lights, some decorate their houses with evergreen trees, and colourful lights and distribute special gifts to their loved ones. People invite those who had the darkest time and allow them to embrace the return light and take a step towards a new journey.</p>
  947.  
  948.  
  949.  
  950. <p>On the celebration of Pagan Solstice, some are feasting with traditional dishes like spiced cider, grilled meats and brown bread. During the winter solstice, They are also involved in traditional rituals and ceremonies to welcome the new cycle and sunlight. Some take rituals and baths to clean their mistakes and freshen up minds, bodies and spirits.</p>
  951.  
  952.  
  953.  
  954. <p>The Pagan Winter Solstice is new hopes and desires and allows a balanced life by welcoming sunlight. The Pagan Winter Solstice is significant in light and dark and encourages us to hope for new things and do better in the coming year.   </p>
  955.  
  956.  
  957.  
  958. <p>To explore the Pagan Winter Solstice, people gather in traditional ceremonies and learn the rituals or some celebrate rituals at their homes. Winter solstice is a gentle reminder to all of you to add a new cycle to your life and find the importance of a better life.</p>

  1070. <p>Before the new year dawns, we look forward to enjoying our lives one last time with sparkling lights, surprising gifts, great food, music, and more. Christmas lets us feel that joy and spend the last days of the year with great fun.</p>
  1071.  
  1072.  
  1073.  
  1074. <p>Christmas is that particular time of the year when everybody&#8217;s holiday spirits are high. People rejoice with near and dear ones to spend most of their days in leisure. It removes the gloom from life and replaces it with happiness, joy, and fun-filled days. We have often seen how adults celebrate this time, but have you thought about <strong>how kids think of Christmas</strong>? So, let us explore and understand their thoughts for the festival.</p>

  1081.  
  1082. <p>Kids are innocent but often get ignored to express their feelings about festivals. People feel their parents guide them and have no personal opinions. It&#8217;s time to think new about them and understand their meaning of Christmas.</p>
  1083.

  1089.  
  1090. <p>Kids think Christmas means celebrating <a href="https://www.scirp.org/journal/paperinformation?paperid=120038" target="_blank" rel="noopener">God&#8217;s birthday</a>. This is true as 25th December marks the birthday of our beloved Jesus, who has always cared for us in all situations. On this day, we wish for Jesus to express our love for him. We share happy gestures and show gratitude to others. Kids keep asking queries about baby Jesus&#8217;s figurines to their parents or guardians when they visit the church. They are dressed up at school before the Christmas holidays to enact the nativity scene of Jesus&#8217;s birth. It seems they cherish the experience while realizing the true meaning of the festival. You can see kids involved in Christmas carols to celebrate the <strong><strong>birth of Jesus on Christmas.</strong></strong></p>

  1098.  
  1099.  
  1100.  
  1101. <p>The kids feel close family bonding is part of the Christmas celebration. This is because it is that time of the year when all the family members think of getting together to spend the last few days of the year with their loved ones. It&#8217;s the bonding they crave, which is missed all year round due to business at work or with studies. You will see how your friends and kids&#8217; eyes light up with each other&#8217;s sight during Christmas. It remains a big <a href="https://www.pcs.org/assets/A-Christmas-Memory-Winter-Song-Large-Print-Playbill.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">family get-together</a> where kids play with their cousins like there is no tomorrow.</p>
  1102.  
  1103.  
  1104.  
  1105. <p>You will see how grandparents and other family members often come from overseas to meet their grandkids during that time. They tell stories to the kids to keep them entertained while creating a great emotional bond. Parents often complain about their struggle to put their kids to bed during Xmas as they always try to enjoy themselves with their cousins and sisters. Kids keep requesting the brief time they have to spend with their dear ones and forget their routine of the day. They laugh their heart out with the family on simple jokes while learning the true meaning of family bonding.</p>

  1110.  
  1111.  
  1112.  
  1113. <p>Kids think Christmas is about getting their favorite decorations and hanging them. This is because kids are often found to have greater joy during this time than ever when shopping with their parents. They get to choose the Christmas tree for decoration because it&#8217;s their time of the year. You would remember your childhood when fixing the star on the Christmas tree top was the best thing to do as a kid. Kids share the joy by hanging the tree toppers with Santa figurines, lights, stars and other <a href="https://books.google.co.in/books?hl=en&amp;lr=&amp;id=P3bLEAAAQBAJ&amp;oi=fnd&amp;pg=PA1993&amp;dq=festive+collection+on+christmas&amp;ots=P7coruEej8&amp;sig=QIIe5xJoBRmvY2Gx6TzfKw73i9E&amp;redir_esc=y#v=onepage&amp;q=festive%20collection%20on%20christmas&amp;f=false" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">festive collections</a>.</p>
  1114.  
  1115.  
  1116.  
  1117. <p>A typical Christmas scene involves watching all the kids with their parents enthusiastically lighting their homes with lights and music. The kids even dance and enjoy playing with the decorations to feel the festival&#8217;s spirit.</p>

  1121. <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>4. Helping Others </strong></h3>
  1122.  
  1123.  
  1124.  
  1125. <p>Christmas or Xmas means for some kids a time of caring for others. This is because families performing charity let their kids understand the importance of kindness during the season. They learn the act of giving rather than receiving to be the critical spirit of Christmas. It makes them know joy comes from other&#8217;s happiness.</p>
  1126.

  1130.  
  1131.  
  1132.  
  1133. <p>All the kids agree Christmas is about presents from <a href="https://sciendo.com/article/10.2478/hsy-2020-0010" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Santa Claus</a>. They like keeping cookies and milk by the Xmas tree while waiting for Santa. They would hang socks by the fireplace with wishes to let Santa see what would make Xmas special for them. Kids will be seen lined up with their parents at shopping malls to get a chance to meet Santa and share their needs.</p>

  1138.  
  1139.  
  1140. <p>A lot of charitable trusts are involved in dressing up their volunteers in Santa costumes to meet kids at the hospital and share gifts. Kids think Santa to be authentic and visit them on his flying reindeer to wish them.</p>
  1141.  
  1142.  
  1143.  
  1144. <p>You will hear kids discussing how to remain on the good books of Santa so that he gives them the best gifts of all seasons. Many parents use stories of Santa to discipline their kids the whole year, gradually leading to their believing in the tales.</p>

  1148. <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>6. Getting and Opening Presents</strong></h3>
  1149.  
  1150.  
  1151.  
  1152. <p>Christmas means opening presents in the morning with family. Remember how noisy it would get in your childhood on the morning of Christmas when you and your siblings would wake your parents up without their permission? You see, kids cannot contain their excitement in getting the presents they had hoped for the entire year. They run down the house to the Christmas tree to get all the gifts and open them with their parent&#8217;s help. Kids express the shared laughs and enjoyment while unwrapping gifts, which makes their day.</p>
  1153.  
  1154.

  1157.  
  1158.  
  1159.  
  1160. <p>Kids think Christmas is also about delicious and unique food recipes on your table. This is because kids often express how they would run around the kitchen to get a small bite of their grandparents&#8217; hot, delicious pies. They even express the joy of eating candies and cakes with no limits. The chocolate chip cookies are my favorite. Kids will try to see through the baking shop window to watch and smell the freshly baked cakes and loaves of bread. They also show enthusiasm for participating in the family dinner with their parents.</p>

  1175. <p>To some kids, Christmas would mean a change in weather. This is because they adore the snowy days and chilly winds, which make them feel comfortable under a blanket. However, kids in Quebec during Xmas would be seen preparing their sleds to have fun in the snow. For them, Christmas is about playing in the snow and building an adorable snowman to relive the <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2294629/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Frozen</a> movie. It shows the idea of fun as the meaning of Christmas varies among kids with the location.</p>

  1186. <p>Kids mean Christmas is about<strong> writing letters to Santa. </strong> It has been a time-honored tradition in many homes where elders participate with the kids. They would get fancy cards and crayons for the kids to paint and write to Santa about all their worries and post them. It helps kids believe in Santa while supporting them to show their creativity through play. Parent&#8217;s participation creates increased bonding over the act of becoming more close to children during the holiday season.</p>

  1405. <p>To make your walls more lively, hanging bigger and more colorful frames is an excellent choice and if you can add some nature-ly DIY art to your frames then it will be frosting on the cake. However, if you can&#8217;t think of any ideas &#8211; how about fixing a big original palm leaf into a transparent frame? I think it will look lovely! Here, all you need to do is fold all the blades of the leaf at 45-degree angles and make a pattern from it. Then, simply attach it to the middle of the frame and close the canvas.

  1632.  
  1633.  
  1634.  
  1635. <p>&#8220;Aur is an interesting man that&#8217;s hard to get a read on, and it makes this series all that more worth it to read.&#8221; Says a reviewer on <a href="https://www.amazon.in/BUILD-DUNGEON-V07-Warau-Yakan/dp/1648277993" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Amazon</a>.</p>

  1638.  
  1639. <p>&#8220;I like the story&#8217;s plot, but my favorite thing about this is how well it is illustrated (10 out of 10).&#8221; States a 5-star reviewer.</p>

  1660. <p>The pandemic hit me hard too, like the rest of you. It was full of problems initially until we made peace that we had to live in the same manner for a few more months. So, we might as well find a peaceful and happy way to do so.</p>
  1661.  
  1662.  
  1663.  
  1664. <p>It all started during the first wave, suddenly all of us had too much time on hand that it looked like what to do now. People found new hobbies and passions which they never knew they had before. Some started cooking, others started blogging, and yet others started <strong>learning new languages online.</strong></p>
  1665.  
  1666.  
  1667.  
  1668. <p>All of this was fun until you realized that there was no connection left, and you could not suffice with just online conversation. And since everyone was at home it was a very effortless family time too. This is when I brought back my board games from the attic.</p>

  1673.  
  1674.  
  1675.  
  1676. <p>It was like an activity that would involve a few of us; two, three, or four. The best part was that it kept us all together in a room providing scope for healthy interactions and all of us were away from screens too. The added benefit was that we all had something to occupy our mental space for that duration if the game was interesting or calculative enough it helped us become more engaged.</p>

  1681.  
  1682.  
  1683.  
  1684. <p>Although a lot of people mostly teenagers and age around were looking for online game players. Who would add to their teams or indulge with them in online gaming? It was easier and more interesting for that age group.</p>
  1685.  
  1686.  
  1687.  
  1688. <p>Because they felt that their connection with people of the same age and playing similar games would be better, indeed sometimes they even prefer to play these games online with strangers to prevent any interactions at all.</p>
  1689.  
  1690.  
  1691.  
  1692. <p>But my idea was entirely different, we are a small family of three kids and two parents, none of us interested in any sort of gaming. It was necessary to include an activity that would match everyone&#8217;s wavelength, and everyone would enjoy it equally.</p>
  1693.

  1700. <p>Not only did these games bring a new change in our evenings but we also felt that they had added benefits like better logical reasoning or increased mathematical and mental capacity.</p>
  1701.  
  1702.  
  1703.  
  1704. <p>It became the best way to spend the evenings, where we would all get our tea or coffee, gather in the garden, and start playing Monopoly, Sequence, and sometimes other fun games like The Game of Life. We also played card games like UNO and Monopoly Deal which were quick and easy.</p>
  1705.  
  1706.  
  1707.  
  1708. <p>I realized that bringing board games and other such games back in life brought back that fun competitive side we had as kids, where small wins bring big joys. A sense of accomplishment and success achieved through these games is short-lived but enough to make you happy.</p>

  1728. <p>I don&#8217;t know if this happened to you, too, but I feel since all of us are so glued to our smart devices, we have somewhat lost the connection to our friends and family. By closing the connection I do not mean that we can&#8217;t talk or meet them anymore; I mean that the kind of connection that was there earlier is not so thick now.</p>
  1729.  
  1730.  
  1731.  
  1732. <p>It has been observed and even is being researched right now that we have a <strong>shorter attention span</strong> and we can not hold to anything or person for very long which is coming out of the social media culture that we are living in. A culture where everything changes in a blink of a second. It becomes a very difficult place for a lot of people to live in because you can never really distinguish between true and false, as life on these platforms is just a projection and not a reality.</p>
  1733.  
  1734.

  1737.  
  1738.  
  1739.  
  1740. <p>I have a lot of friends who have felt or seen this happening in their lives, too, and yes, this makes us all mad to think about where we started and where we have come. So, all in all, what I felt in the last few years is that if how the world operates changes then we have to change with it.</p>
  1741.  
  1742.  
  1743.  
  1744. <p>In my context, it means that if the process of maintaining and keeping up connections is getting hard we need to find a better way. And for me, the way is a<strong> digital detox.</strong> I know that work days are hectic, and then catching up socially, and running chores, there is a lot to do. But in all this hustle and bustle, we lose touch with people.</p>
  1745.  
  1746.  
  1747.  
  1748. <p>To maintain that, I have found a way out. Every alternate Saturday right in the morning I switch off the notifications to all the apps on my phone, or in a more easy manner I just switch off my wifi and internet data. So, automatically, none of my apps work. These Saturdays are off at work so there is nothing important that I&#8217;m missing out there. In case of an emergency, people can still call or leave a text message.</p>

  1753.  
  1754.  
  1755.  
  1756. <p>I also plan a small meal or picnic, or any such activity with my friends or family; of which I inform them in advance. So that all of us can get together for a few hours away from our digital worlds and talk and connect. It has been going on for almost 2 years now and I have felt the change within my heart.</p>
  1757.  
  1758.  
  1759.  
  1760. <p>It feels like these two to four days keep me charged up for the rest of the month. I indulge myself in self-care activities, I think better and eventually perform better.</p>

  1804.  
  1805.  
  1806.  
  1807. <p>Blue eyes captivate everyone who sees them, much like unique jewels. Their rarity adds to their allure, enticing, and fascinating qualities. But why do they stand out so much? We aim to uncover the genetics behind the restored eye shade to solve this riddle.</p>
  1808.  
  1809.  
  1810.  
  1811. <p>Genes are a major factor in determining eye color, with unique variations contributing to at least one hue. Blue eyes are more distinct than brown or blue eyes since they are the result of a special combination of genetic ingredients.</p>
  1812.  
  1813.  
  1814.  
  1815. <p>Their allure stems from this intricacy since they protrude amid an ocean of more conventional sunblocks. Blue-green eyes have always been associated with mystery and beauty, which adds to their allure. From modern subcultures to stories from history, they maintain a special place.</p>

  1823.  
  1824.  
  1825.  
  1826. <p>Comprehending the genetic makeup and incidence of blue-blind eyes is like solving an intriguing riddle. Our eye shade is determined by our genes, which act as little directives.</p>
  1827.  
  1828.  
  1829.  
  1830. <p>Blue-green eyes come from a specific combination of these genetic instructions. Because of this particular combination, blue-green eyes are far less unusual than brilliant hues. Researchers have discovered that the formation of blue-green eyes is influenced by specific genes.</p>

There are certain times of the day when you can get a packed road for a good 20-30 minutes, like the evening and morning peak office hours.</p>
  2161.  
  2162.  
  2163.  
  2164. <p>A lot of times I have also been stuck in such jams and you can do nothing but just sit in your car and get irritated, luckily if you have a co-passenger sometimes then it is a little less boring.</p>
  2165.  
  2166.  
  2167.  
  2168. <p>When this started happening a lot to me, it got me thinking about other possible ways to commute, at least to nearby places. Where I could at least save some time, and that is how I started cycling again.</p>
  2169.

  2174.  
  2175.  
  2176. <p>I used to go cycling earlier but that was for exercise purposes. When I realized I could get some small errands done too, then it was like the perfect combination. After that, I started using my cycle for grocery runs and similar chores so I could get it done quickly.</p>
  2177.  
  2178.  
  2179.  
  2180. <p>There was another benefit of the same: as I started finding my way, I also discovered other stores than my regular ones. Now I could get a wider variety of supplies and could even compare prices in different stores. This was possible only due to the exploration that I was doing on my cycle.</p>

  2185.  
  2186.  
  2187.  
  2188. <p>Getting my work done was just the initial motivation that helped me get to it again. But eventually, once I got used to riding my cycle every day I became a little more fond of it.</p>
  2189.  
  2190.  
  2191.  
  2192. <p>It was not until a very long time later that I went back to my cycling schedule like I did earlier. Cycling is among the most therapeutic workouts for me. It not only helps me burn calories but also allows me to clear my head. The best part of the activity, however, is that it is not a workout that you can do absent-mindedly.</p>
  2193.  
  2194.  
  2195.  
  2196. <p>So, when I&#8217;m completely focused on the way ahead, I have to steer my way and also keep up my speed to reach my goal; I&#8217;m multi-tasking which helps both my mind and body grow better.</p>
  2197.  
  2198.  
  2199.  
  2200. <p>The exploration of cycling started when I began doing the long stretches which were usually on the outskirts of the city. Along with my cycling buddies, I start at 4 or 5 in the morning and do our 3-hour stretch to achieve the target. This is the most rejuvenating activity in the entire week.</p>
  2201.  
  2202.  
  2203.  
  2204. <p>With the fresh air of the countryside, breezy and away from the pollution and hustle-bustle it is such a relaxation. Getting your workout done along with a calming feel is the best takeaway. We also usually do a picnic after the riding session so everybody can catch up and have some celebration time!</p>

  2232. <p>We have often seen people, in a sense, acting like others or mimicking them to make fun of them. However, such an act of being like someone else when it controls a person’s mind and behavior at different times is considered a disorder. This is because they execute the action without sense and may harm others. The disorder was previously known as Multiple Personality Disorder<sup data-fn="549df9f1-f49d-4e6c-bc0d-80266da97b81" class="fn"><a href="#549df9f1-f49d-4e6c-bc0d-80266da97b81" id="549df9f1-f49d-4e6c-bc0d-80266da97b81-link">1</a></sup>, but in current medical terms, it is regarded as Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID)<sup data-fn="38eedade-9fe6-4ed2-b957-a5c8c2ab9fee" class="fn"><a href="#38eedade-9fe6-4ed2-b957-a5c8c2ab9fee" id="38eedade-9fe6-4ed2-b957-a5c8c2ab9fee-link">2</a></sup>. Nearly <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK568768/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">1.5% of the global population</a> suffers from the condition.</p>
  2233.  
  2234.  
  2235.  
  2236. <p>Here are a few details of the disorder for your information.</p>
  2237.  
  2238.  
  2239.  
  2240. <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>1. Concept of Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID)</strong></h2>
  2241.  
  2242.  
  2243.  
  2244. <p><a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S246874992030017X" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dissociative Identity Disorder</a> (DID) refers to a complex mental health condition in which a person loses connection with their memories, thoughts, perceptions, feelings, behavior, identity, and surroundings around them. It makes them get removed from reality and act like someone else in an obsessive as well as psychological manner. This manner of adverse psychological personality is not healthy for them. However, after they come back to their real self, the person does not possess any memory of the act. This makes them develop confusion with time and gradual insanity.</p>

  2251.  
  2252.  
  2253.  
  2254. <p>In DID, the different personal identity shown has different personal histories, traits, characteristics, likes and dislikes. Intention to act like others arises suddenly due to a reaction to any distressing or shocking event. It helps the person to forget difficult memories and situations. With time, the condition worsens when the person gradually realizes their problem.</p>
  2255.  
  2256.  
  2257.  
  2258. <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>2. Types of Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID)</strong></h2>
  2259.  
  2260.  
  2261.  
  2262. <p>Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) is one of the main types of dissociative disorder. The two other types are:</p>
  2263.  
  2264.  
  2265.  
  2266. <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>2.1. Depersonalised or Derealisation Disorder (DD)     </strong></h3>
  2267.  
  2268.  
  2269.  
  2270. <p>In <a href="https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1080/15299732.2022.2079796" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DD</a>, a person feels they are separated from self. It is like a person watching them act, feel, share thoughts, and perform action from a distance, as in a movie. It seems that people have their souls outside their bodies while they act. It can appear and go or remain consistent with time.  </p>
  2271.  
  2272.  
  2273.  
  2274. <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>2.2. Dissociative Amnesia (DA)</strong></h3>
  2275.  
  2276.  
  2277.  
  2278. <p>In DA, the person fails to remember things regarding themselves, which is more than forgetfulness. It involves forgetting a major event in life or details of an event that you have lived according to others.</p>
  2279.  
  2280.  
  2281.  
  2282. <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>3. Symptoms of Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID)</strong></h2>

  2286. <p>The key <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9045405/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">symptom </a>of Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) is showing two or more distinctive identities by a single person. The identities may be of different genders, interests, religions, and communities, and each of them has different ways of interacting with the environment. Individuals reflecting other personalities show different ways of talking, posture, and gestures that are unknown to them.</p>

Trauma is responsible for DID because it influences the person to dissociate the memory of the situation or place to mentally escape from it. It creates difficulty for them to remember the details of the situation. They try to forget the experience to avoid the pain, fear, and other adverse emotions. However, certain events may trigger the condition. It leads them to unknowingly develop different personalities to avoid reality.  </p>

  2520. <p>I am a night owl who often stresses over life with overthinking at night. And nobody could understand better than me how comfort food helps in those situations. Being a die-hard foodie, I would instantly think of cooking something that could calm my soul and boost my mood. Food ideas kept bubbling, but I could never decide what to cook for them. So, I looked for some posts on Reddit and found the ultimate comfort food recipes that changed my cooking game.   </p>

But I often avoid it due to the number of dishes to be done next. However, this one-pot dish did change my cooking game from requiring a lot of utensils to one. It reduced half of my effort and enhanced my pleasure in cooking.</p>
  2529.  
  2530.  
  2531.  
  2532. <p>As per the recipe by Berkamin, I added 100 g spaghetti, 4 tsp of olive oil, two cloves of smashed garlic, extra virgin oil and salt in a single pan. Alert! Avoid adding too much salt and water, as they will not get poured down the drain. I kept the pan on low flame for 5 minutes to avoid boiling all the water. And instead of adding garlic in the beginning, I preferred to add it when half the pasta was cooked. Later, I added some lemon juice and a last bit of salt and pepper for seasoning. And voila!! Here comes my dish.</p>

  2555. <p>Although cooking a dish that feels like an entire meal is stupid, my comfort food can be anything. So, this chicken pot pie recipe with biscuits drew my attention out of being both a foodie and a cooking fanatic. It did alter the cooking game by showing how easy it is to add veggies and make a pie look wholesome. You select to cook it at the end of the night for fun. Those thyme and sautéed shallots with creamy chicken peaking with carrots and peas under the biscuit topping is enough to drool me into cooking and eating everything up. Because that’s a lot of flavours that are willing to burst into my mouth!!       </p>

  2626. <p>Corporate leaders face the challenge of navigating the intricacies of the Request for Proposal (RFP) process, which is a pivotal step in selecting the most suitable vendors for their projects. This process starts with a deep understanding of <a href="https://uplandsoftware.com/articles/content-automation/what-is-a-request-for-proposal/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">what is a Request for Proposal (RFP)</a>. It leverages it to create competitive bidding that fosters innovation and efficiency from prospective service providers.

  2628.  
  2629.  
  2630. <p>Effective management of the RFP process requires an articulate delineation of organizational needs and the ability to communicate these to potential suppliers clearly and concisely. As corporate leaders spearhead this initiative, their focus should also encompass the evaluation of proposals based on a multidimensional set of criteria beyond price, such as quality, reliability, and innovation. This multifaceted approach ensures the selection of vendors who can truly add value to the corporation&#8217;s projects and operational capabilities.</p>

  2651.

  2654. <p>As contracts evolve from initial requests to finalized agreements, their management becomes a focal point for corporate leaders aiming at efficiency and effectiveness. This requires a vigilant eye over every stage and a rigorous process that anticipates and addresses potential hurdles. It&#8217;s not just about having robust systems; it&#8217;s about predicting future needs and adapting dynamically.</p>

It demands an engaged approach, where open dialogue and mutual goals pave the way for shared advancements and achievements.</p>
  2667.  
  2668.  
  2669.

  2698. <p>Christmas is one of the most enchanting and joyful celebrations, getting everyone excited and anticipated, from kids to adults and older people. It is a celebration where you get together with friends and family. The house is full of Christmas spirit with awestruck <a href="https://icytales.com/16-amazing-outdoor-christmas-lights-ideas/">decorations</a>, a dining table filled with delectable dishes, and lots of jokes and fun stories shared while unwrapping lovely gifts. It truly is a delightful holiday. And the Christmas celebration doesn&#8217;t end here.</p>
  2699.  
  2700.  
  2701.  
  2702. <p>Many countries have a unique twist of their own, which they follow every year as a <strong>Christmas tradition</strong>, especially in <strong>European countries</strong>. If you are searching for new ideas every year to incorporate for a more fun and exciting Christmas, you don&#8217;t have to worry anymore. Here are 10 European traditions to try.</p>
  2703.  
  2704.  
  2705.  
  2706. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">1. The Gherkin- Germany</h2>
  2707.  
  2708.  
  2709. <div class="wp-block-image">
  2710. <figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img decoding="async" src="https://icyeurope.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/image-12-44-e1711381783768-1024x599.jpg" alt="Pickle-shaped ornament" class="wp-image-90917" title="10 Captivating European Traditions Of Christmas 32"><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Source: Unlimphotos</figcaption></figure></div>
  2711.  
  2712.  
  2713. <p>Gherkin is one of the oldest European Christmas traditions in Germany. In it, parents aptly snuck a pickle-shaped Christmas ornament into the Christmas tree, among other decorations. The morning of Christmas is when the hunt begins, and the first one to find the pickle gets an extra gift or may get to unwrap the Christmas present first and get a good fortune for the next year.</p>
  2714.  
  2715.  
  2716.  
  2717. <p>The <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/23/world/what-in-the-world/christmas-germany-weihnachtsgurke-pickle.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">gherkin tradition</a> originated in the<strong> Lauscha region of Thuringia</strong>, a German state, and was brought to the US by German immigrants. A pickle-shaped ornament may sound uncanny, but for the kids, it&#8217;s more like a fun competition to participate in, which you can also add to your other traditions this year.</p>
  2718.  
  2719.  
  2720.  
  2721. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">2. La Befana- Italy</h2>
  2722.  
  2723.  
  2724. <div class="wp-block-image">
  2725. <figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img decoding="async" src="https://icyeurope.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/image-12-45-1024x683.jpg" alt="One of the European traditions called La Befana in Italy" class="wp-image-90918" title="10 Captivating European Traditions Of Christmas 33"><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Source: Unlimphotos</figcaption></figure></div>
  2726.  
  2727.  
  2728. <p>Santa isn&#8217;t the only one giving gifts. In Italy, a good witch named La Befana rides in the sky on her broomstick and delivers gifts to the children. However, La Befana doesn&#8217;t come during Christmas but on <strong>6th January</strong>.</p>
  2729.  
  2730.  
  2731.  
  2732. <p>The origin of La Befana goes way back to the ancient pagans, even before Santa Claus. The story goes like this: three wise men invited an old- woman to join them in search of Christ&#8217;s child. At first, the older woman passed on the invitation due to some chores she had to finish, but later that night, she followed them in search of Christ&#8217;s child.</p>
  2733.  
  2734.  
  2735.  
  2736. <p>However, she got lost on her way. Since then, every year, La Befana has gone door to door to search for Christ&#8217;s children and drops gifts for them in the hopes of having baby Jesus with them. This doesn&#8217;t mean that the Italians are not excited about Santa Claus. The kids are just as anticipated and<strong> look forward to Christmas as they do Epiphany</strong>.</p>
  2737.

  2750. <p>Decorating a Christmas tree and then finding Christmas presents under the tree on Christmas is what most of us have grown up doing. But have you ever heard of the Christmas log? Well, <a href="https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-12-25/strange-christmas-traditions-yule-krampus-poo-log-tio-de-nadal/101787054" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tío de Nadal </a>is one of the unique European traditions in Spain, where a Christmas log with a smiling face, legs, and even a hat is welcomed into the house on 8th December, and is fed sweets and water and covered with a blanket.</p>
  2751.  
  2752.  
  2753.  
  2754. <p>This goes on and on <strong>til Christmas Eve</strong>. On Christmas morning, the hospitality towards the log is over, and a new form of treatment is done, where the family members one by one<strong> beat the log with a stick</strong>, forcing it to poop gifts as a form of reward for taking care of it. The beating is accompanied by a song by the family members that is sung about the log.</p>
  2755.  
  2756.  
  2757.  
  2758. <p>Sometimes, the parents insert the presents inside the log, which comes out of it. Other times, they are hidden under the blanket used to cover the log. Tío de Nadal is believed to have originated from the pagan practice in the Middle Ages, which nowadays isn&#8217;t followed much. However, many people still keep this tradition alive.</p>

  3003.  
  3004.  
  3005. <p>Getting to grips with car insurance costs begins with a general overview. The overall cost of car insurance is influenced by different factors, each playing its part in determining what a policyholder ends up paying.</p>
  3006.  
  3007.  
  3008.  
  3009. <p>The conditions of the car, including model, make, and age, as well as the insurer&#8217;s assessment of the risk level associated with the driver, impact insurance prices. Equally, the type of coverage selected will play a crucial role in the pricing process.</p>
  3010.  
  3011.  
  3012.  
  3013. <p>Typically, insurers will also evaluate the intended use of the vehicle. Cars strictly used for private transportation purposes might have lower premiums compared to vehicles for business use.</p>
  3014.  
  3015.  
  3016.  
  3017. <p>The last main element considered when setting the price is the location. Certain areas in Queensland pose higher risks and therefore can result in higher insurance premiums. This factor often leads people to ask the question, <a href="https://www.iselect.com.au/car-insurance/qld/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">how much is car insurance in QLD</a>?</p>
  3018.  
  3019.  
  3020.  
  3021. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Defining Vehicle Types and Its Impact on Insurance Costs in QLD</h2>
  3022.  
  3023.  
  3024.  
  3025. <p>Different types of vehicles pose different levels of risk and cost to the insurer, which in turn affects the price of premiums. SUVs, <a href="https://www.edmunds.com/coupe/sports-cars/#:~:text=,for%20you%20quickly%20and%20easily" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sports cars</a>, and luxury vehicles usually have higher insurance costs than ordinary sedans or small cars.</p>
  3026.  
  3027.  
  3028.  
  3029. <p>Car model and make also impact the insurance cost. The replacement cost (i.e., the cost to you or your insurer to replace the car in case of a total loss) is a key factor. Higher-end car models with advanced safety features might be expensive to repair or replace, making coverage costly.</p>
  3030.  
  3031.  
  3032.  
  3033. <p>The age of the car is another determining factor. Older vehicles are often cheaper to insure than brand-new cars. Insurers usually consider the depreciation value and the current market value of the vehicle before assigning a premium.</p>
  3034.  
  3035.  
  3036.  
  3037. <p>The inherent safety of a vehicle and its susceptibility to theft are also taken into account. Cars with higher safety ratings might attract a lower premium due to a reduced risk level, while cars popular with thieves could have higher premiums due to an increased risk of theft.</p>
  3038.  
  3039.  
  3040.  
  3041. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Assessment of Vehicle Use: Influence on Car Insurance Price</h2>
  3042.  
  3043.  
  3044.  
  3045. <p>Insurers analyze how a car is used before settling on a premium. Cars used strictly for personal reasons could see a lower premium than cars used for business purposes.</p>
  3046.  
  3047.  
  3048.  
  3049. <p>Cars used for commuting have higher mileage than cars used occasionally and, therefore, a higher chance of being involved in an accident. Business vehicles often carry valuable equipment or precious cargo, which also increases their insurability risk.</p>
  3050.  
  3051.  
  3052.  
  3053. <p>Also, cars used for performance or track days can attract higher premiums due to the high-risk activities associated with such usage, including a higher probability of accidents and damage to the vehicle.</p>
  3054.  
  3055.  
  3056.  
  3057. <p>Conversely, reduced mileage and safe, moderate vehicle use can lead to lower premiums due to the reduced risk of incidents.</p>
  3058.  
  3059.  
  3060.  
  3061. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Deciphering the Role of Driver&#8217;s Profile in Determining Car Insurance Rates</h2>
  3062.  
  3063.  
  3064.  
  3065. <p>A driver&#8217;s profile is another essential factor in determining car insurance prices. A profile comprises factors such as age, gender, driving history, and experience.</p>
  3066.  
  3067.  
  3068.  
  3069. <p>Young and inexperienced drivers, especially those under 25, often get pegged with higher premiums. The mature driver, specifically those between the ages of 50 to 60, usually gets the lowest rates due to their experience and cautiousness on the road.</p>
  3070.  
  3071.  
  3072.  
  3073. <p>A driver&#8217;s history on the road heavily weighs on the price of their car insurance. Drivers with a long history of <a href="https://www.dmv.org/traffic-tickets.php#:~:text=SUMMARY%3A%20Traffic%20Tickets%E2%80%94Paying%20or%20Fighting,Ticket%E2%80%94Traffic%20Ticket%20Fines%20and%20Penalties" target="_blank" rel="noopener">traffic violations</a> or accidents are considered high-risk, equating to higher premiums. Conversely, a clean driving record could lead to lower premiums.</p>
  3074.  
  3075.  
  3076.  
  3077. <p>The usage of telematics data is also becoming more common. This type of data records driving habits such as speed, harshness of turns, and braking. Safe driving habits recorded by telematics can lead to reduced premiums.</p>
  3078.  
  3079.  
  3080.  
  3081. <p>Altogether, car insurance costs in QLD are influenced by a range of internal and external factors. Understanding these factors can help you make more informed decisions when seeking car insurance and negotiating your premiums.</p>

  3111.  
  3112. <p>The Chef&#8217;s vision transcended the boundaries of the traditional kitchen. By 2018, determined to perpetually evolve, Ishijyot’s entrepreneurial flair led to the inception of three distinct culinary hubs under the banner of the SJI Hospitality group: Mulk, reflecting old-world North Indian charm; and Pachinco, a haven for Italian diner and coffee enthusiasts alike.</p>
  3113.  
  3114.  
  3115.  
  3116. <p>Yet, it was his venture, MiniyaTurk, inspired by his trip to Turkey, that truly showcased his unwavering commitment to pushing culinary boundaries, offering a harmonious fusion of Turkish street foods giving rise to a multi-specialty restaurant offering Turkish, Middle Eastern, Mexican, and Pan-Asian flavors.</p>
  3117.

  3127.  
  3128. <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Q) How do you ensure authenticity while incorporating innovative twists in your dish across different cultures and flavors? Was it difficult for you to maintain the authenticity, taste, and new creations, all at once?</h3>
  3129.  
  3130.  
  3131.  
  3132. <p><strong> Ishijyot Surri </strong>&#8211; As chefs, we are here to make sure ppl enjoy what they eat but at the same time we have to be very close to our roots because the real flavor, the real essence lies in maintaining the authenticity of the dish. So, we try to incorporate by trying to add one spice or change the style of presentation. But keep authenticity in mind because in food the simpler it is the more fascinating the food is. It is all about combination.</p>
  3133.  
  3134.  
  3135.  
  3136. <p>Nowadays people come up with DIY shawarma which is nothing but changing the plating style by maintaining authenticity. these types of small innovations and twists are good but recreating a dish without its authenticity is a big no. One such recipe of mine is ras malai tres leches. Tresleches comes from a Mexican inspiration. We maintained the authenticity of the ras malai and gave it a style by combining it with tres leches.</p>
  3137.  
  3138.

  3140. <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Q) How do you utilize social media to showcase your culinary world? Could you share your insights? </h3>

  3145.  
  3146.  
  3147. <p><strong>Ishijyot Surri-</strong> Thanks to social media like Instagram and YouTube, I get to connect with people on levels that I didn’t know existed. I think it has been one of my biggest achievements working through social media because there is a lot of knowledge that needs to be shared. Other chefs ask me small questions and every question is learning. That’s how I see it.</p>
  3148.  
  3149.  
  3150.  
  3151. <p>Social media has given us a broader scope, and at the same time, it has given us more cautiousness because what we do out there, people get inspired, and they look up to us. When we talk and teach something it must be well-researched, you must be very careful. So social media helped me a lot in keeping me updated with the trends. So that’s how social media comes in as a very significant part of my career.</p>
  3152.  
  3153.  
  3154.  
  3155. <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Q) As someone who has learned everything and has become successful in his career, what advice and techniques would you prefer for the upcoming aspirants towards becoming a chef?</h3>
  3156.  
  3157.  
  3158.  
  3159. <p><strong>Ishijyot Surri</strong>&#8211; The first thing that comes to my mind while mentoring is when I was a trainee, how people guided me, and what they taught me when I was a trainee. When you aspire to be a chef you must aspire and know what you want to do. So, when I get a chance to meet young chefs, I always tell them at whatever age, cook using their hands, and be realistic. When you cook with your hands you understand and realize your passion. Cooking with passion will always make you successful.</p>
  3160.  
  3161.  
  3162.  
  3163. <p>Cooking should be more of a passion rather than a work because you are creating something new every day and at the same time, you’re learning and enjoying the process all at once. One more thing I tell a lot of aspiring chefs is that you must read about what you’re doing. You must have basic knowledge of what you are cooking and making.</p>
  3164.  
  3165.  
  3166.  
  3167. <p>There is a world out there that is ready to see and appreciate your talent, so you must showcase it and use social media to its full potential. If you can consume what you cook there will never be confusion. As an aspiring chef, one should never have doubts about that.</p>
  3168.  
  3169.

  3172.  
  3173.  
  3174. <p>With a background rooted in the prestigious Taj Group, he has been formally trained in the culinary field at the Taj IHM-A institute with an affiliation to the prestigious University of Huddersfield, UK. Ishijyot’s stints across various restaurants fortified his understanding of different culinary traditions, allowing him to oversee a North Indian BBQ poolside restaurant.</p>
  3175.  
  3176.  
  3177.  
  3178. <p>Surri&#8217;s culinary expertise isn&#8217;t confined to the domain of savory. He took the world by storm when he initiated Gourmet Treats in 2010, mesmerizing connoisseurs with a diverse array of Ceylon teas and flavored dry fruits. His fervent exploration of the world of teas earned him the coveted titles of Tea Blender and Tea Sommelier in 2023.</p>
  3179.  
  3180.  
  3181.  
  3182. <p>Furthering his culinary innovations, Chef Ishijyot co-founded ventures like &#8216;The Pickled Chick&#8217; serving meat-based pickles, &#8216;Nutty Singh&#8217; and ‘Makhana Singh’ serving a new range of flavored dry fruits. The &#8216;ALPS &#8211; Always Love Peanut Spread&#8217; became another feather in his cap. He has carved a digital presence with his YouTube channel that delves into culinary arts, sharing his knowledge and passion with a wider audience.</p>

  3211. <p>As recorded, many Americans don&#8217;t consider Christmas a religious holiday, according to the article published by <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/13/us/christmas-less-religious.html" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/13/us/christmas-less-religious.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The New York Times</a> on December 13, 2017.</p>

  3230. <p>Because the birth of their Lord is an important and glorious event for Christians, Christmas is a religious tradition where they attend church and delight in the season&#8217;s activities. It&#8217;s a holiday from work and school because, like most other religions, it&#8217;s essential to dedicate oneself to a festival that values more than daily routine. So, Christmas is a religious holiday. Technically.</p>
  3231.  
  3232.  
  3233.  
  3234. <p>But, the same &#8211; or a considerable part of the &#8211; majority from the Christian-dominated land reveals the possibility of Christmas not being a religious holiday anymore. Or it may turn into a festival of commercial activities and foreign interest rather than spiritual enlightenment.</p>

  3251.  
  3252.  
  3253. <p>As per <a href="https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/2017/12/12/americans-say-religious-aspects-of-christmas-are-declining-in-public-life/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pew Research Center&#8217;s 2017 survey</a>, U.S. adults believed that Christmas didn&#8217;t follow the crucial religious aspects—like spending time offering prayers in a religious institute, remembering or reading the story of the birth of Christ, attending church for Christmas mass, and gathering with close friends and family—as it once used to. The habits seemed to slip away slowly. However, it was noted that very few Americans worried about it.</p>
  3254.  
  3255.  
  3256.  
  3257. <p>A notable group of people have shifted to the decline in believing the biblical script of Jesus&#8217;s birth. For instance, the story of the Virgin Mary giving birth to Baby Jesus doesn&#8217;t convince the Babylining group to think it is an old historical happening.</p>
  3258.  
  3259.  
  3260.  
  3261. <p>American citizens have shared their thoughts on publicly displaying the Christian nativity scene. While the majority of voters support allowing Christian displays throughout the holiday season, some support the action only if accompanied by other religious symbols, like the menorah lighting for Hanukkah, the Jewish festival of lights, the star-shaped lantern for Simbang Gabi, the Filipino Catholic tradition, or the Bodhi tree symbol for Rohatsu, Bodhi Day for Buddhists.</p>
  3262.  
  3263.  
  3264.  
  3265. <p>Coming away from the religious aspects of Christmas, greetings of happy wishes have conflicted opinions, too. A teeny bit more than half of the people asked didn&#8217;t care how they were wished when entering a shop or cafe. Be it a &#8216;Merry Christmas&#8217; or a &#8216;Happy Holidays,&#8217; most didn&#8217;t want to elicit deep meaning or value to it, as much as a &#8216;hello.&#8217; But the rest, more than the quarter half, expressed their preference for being greeted with a &#8216;Merry Christmas,&#8217; leaving those who accepted the non-religious greeting of &#8216;Happy Holidays&#8217; in stride.</p>
  3266.  
  3267.  
  3268.  
  3269. <p>As mentioned above, Americans felt the actual and religious essence of the major holiday—Christmas—was waning. When asked in a poll, approximately a quarter of the sample adults were aware of this decline <em>and</em> bothered by it. The remaining two-thirds were predicted to either be ignorant of the spiritual touch of this festival receding or not believe it was so.</p>

  3276.  
  3277. <p>The <a href="https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/2017/12/12/americans-say-religious-aspects-of-christmas-are-declining-in-public-life/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/2017/12/12/americans-say-religious-aspects-of-christmas-are-declining-in-public-life/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2017 study</a> compares with their research on the same topic years ago. For instance, in 2014, the people of the United States of America saw the conviction in the story of Christ&#8217;s birth, and later down the years, in 2017, the belief has shaken quite visibly. The share of American adults who still consider the biblical telling of Jesus Christ being born to the Virgin Mary true is less than three-fourths of the sample. People believing that the angels spread the good news of the holy birth to the shepherds are a percent more than those who follow the Virgin Mary story, though reduced from 3 years ago. Similarly, there is a percent larger sample of people than the angels-singing story believers, who think that the wise men were guided by the star to Jesus Christ and came bearing gifts. This population, too, has been smaller than it was years ago.</p>

  3284. <p>But apart from the three events said to be perceived as Christ&#8217;s birth, more than a percent of Americans are confident that the Baby was laid in a manger. The Babylation with thBabyelief system was the highest in both years of data collection, 2017 and 2014.</p>
  3285.  
  3286.

  3308.  
  3309.  
  3310. <p>The percentage of Americans who accept all events is lower than in the previous report. Celebrating a festival or a holy happening in the same way as others but believing in a different variation is fascinating.</p>

  3315.  
  3316.  
  3317.  
  3318. <p>Millennials (folks born before the late 1990s and early 1980s) were seen to be less likely determined to attend Christmas church mass than the older generation. They promote the festival of joy and togetherness as more of a cultural than a religious holiday. They are being equipped with the rushing reality of people from all over the world celebrating this auspicious, noble event despite their religions, castes, country of birth, and beliefs about the workings of the world and still seeming to find the same essence of the season as a Christian church-going family.</p>

  3324.  
  3325. <p>In this survey, older adults were said to be more likely to believe unwaveringly in the Bible and its correlation to actual history. Christian millennials are less inclined towards accepting the words of the Holy Bible and its relatable worldly existence. The older adults agree with all four of the stories of Jesus Christ&#8217;s birth—if not one, strongly—than the younger generation.</p>

  3334.  
  3335.  
  3336.  
  3337. <p>Believing in Jesus Christ the Lord and praying in the church are activities of Christianity. The etymology of &#8216;Christmas&#8217; is said to be the shortened form of Christ&#8217;s mass. Christian mass.</p>
  3338.  
  3339.  
  3340.  
  3341. <p>December is the duration for Christians worldwide to reflect on their traditional foundations of Christian faith, passed down from generations.</p>

  3343.  
  3344.  
  3345. <p>While it is all mentioned, it is also a celebration with family, friends, acquaintances, work people, the town, and the whole area. In a landscape of houses and buildings lit with lights as bright as the stars above, presents are placed under the Christmas trees, and the family table is set with dinner and wine for everyone to gather. People eat and celebrate together.</p>
  3346.  
  3347.  
  3348.

  3364. <p>As time evolves, traditions evolve with everything around them; celebrations like Christmas have seen a modern evolution with decorations and social causes.

  3402. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Understanding the Impact of Non-Eco-Friendly Disposal</h2>
  3403.  
  3404.  
  3405.  
  3406. <p>Before the &#8216;litter-free home decor&#8217; process, let us know why responsible decoration disposal is so significant. Several zinnias are built utilizing materials that cannot decompose, such as plastics of some types, metallic ones, and wooden materials treated in chemicals, which are harmful to the environment and ecosystems if not correctly managed. In addition, landfilling garbage, which stirs up pollution and leads to a waste of resources, happens at an increased rate.</p>

  3410. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Making Eco-Friendly Choices</h2>
  3411.  
  3412.  
  3413.  
  3414. <p>Adopting eco-friendly habits is more tedious than just tossing everything in a day after work, but it is suitable for your home and is good for the environment, too. Here are some effective strategies for disposing of old decor responsibly: Here are some effective strategies for disposing of old decor responsibly:</p>
  3415.  
  3416.  
  3417.  
  3418. <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Reuse and Repurpose</h3>
  3419.  
  3420.  
  3421.  
  3422. <p>One speedier process for dealing with like-old furnishings is preparing them for secondary use. Turn an old chest of drawers into a garden planter that looks wonderful and modern, and old picture frames that need paint to be repainted with an organic color that will match your new decor. This type of approach, in addition, will help to extend the life of your items and reduce the need for the consumption of new material, after which the amount of the generated waste will be lower.</p>
  3423.  
  3424.  
  3425.  
  3426. <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Donate to Local Charities</h3>
  3427.  
  3428.  
  3429.  
  3430. <p>From those clothing pieces that are not your taste anymore to those you never liked, others may not share your opinion and see them as a valuable possession. Give thrift shops or homeless shelters a call and have your old decorations cleared away; you can make room for yourself while at the same time helping others out. Ensure that your “hand-me-downs” are in a good state so that they can be utilized by someone else. Not only will this reduce the amount of waste disposed of in landfills, but it will also support the community near you by buying from them.</p>
  3431.  
  3432.  
  3433.  
  3434. <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Recycle with Care</h3>
  3435.  
  3436.  
  3437.  
  3438. <p>While it is an initial step, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recycling#:~:text=Recycling%20is%20the%20process%20of,had%20in%20its%20original%20state." target="_blank" rel="noopener">recycling</a> those items that cannot be used again or passed on is the alternative. Unfortunately, things that serve as decor are sometimes not pleasant to recycle. To know what materials are accepted and what (if any) special preparation is required, you need to consult your local recycling guidelines to see how the recyclable items you intend to recycle must be cleaned. Any non-recyclable parts are removed before they can be finally processed.</p>
  3439.  
  3440.  
  3441.  
  3442. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Professional Waste Removal Services</h2>
  3443.  
  3444.  
  3445.  
  3446. <p>Sometimes, you might face objects that cannot be donated, repurposed, or recycled in an environmentally-friendly way. Hence, rather than disposing of personally, in these situations, professional waste removal services become an option. These businesses provide the required waste collection services for items larger than ordinary waste bins, like furniture and decor made of materials that require unique disposal methods. Using a disposal service where removal and the safe and ethical disposal of your old decorations are handled professionally allows you to dispose of your<strong> end-of-year</strong> decorations in a way that adheres to local regulations and aims for the most negligible negative impact on the environment.</p>
  3447.  
  3448.  
  3449.  
  3450. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Conclusion</h2>
  3451.  
  3452.  
  3453.  
  3454. <p>Updating your home design allows you to rejuvenate your bored environment and apply care for the environment. By selecting a reuse, donate, or recycle option for your old decorations, you get to do something significant for the ecosystem. The professionals such as Norfolk’s green waste services should be your option for those, which are hard to dispose of because by doing this, you ensure that your home ideas are environmentally friendly.</p>
  3455.  
  3456.  
  3457.  
  3458. <p>These tiny but necessary steps towards an eco-friendly society are a bigger purpose for a sustainable and environmentally-preserved world. Whether making a slight improvement or a significant home overhaul, see if you can sustain your environmentally conscious behavior during the disposal stage. Greenify your home that is, make it eco-conscious by considering your choices about where you place your old decor and enjoying beautiful homes while also protecting the environment.</p>

  4836.  
  4837.  
  4838.  
  4839. <p>Winding to the West Coast, Los Angeles amazed us with the occasion charm of Disneyland Resort. The contrasts in Christmas conventions in America may be a confirmation of the nation&#8217;s well off weaved work of craftsmanship of social orders, estimations, and traditions. From coast to coast, the occasion season is celebrated with a kaleidoscope of conventions, each reflecting the curious inheritance and encounters of communities nationwide.</p>
  4840.  
  4841.  
  4842.  
  4843. <p>Whether it&#8217;s the gloriousness of York City&#8217;s Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree, the charm of Williamsburg&#8217;s colonial-era celebrations, or the cheerful markets of Chicago and Frankenmuth, America&#8217;s Christmas celebrations are a softening pot of conventions that have been passed down through the ages. </p>

  4848.  
  4849.  
  4850.  
  4851. <p>The heavenliness of these isolating qualities lies in their capacity to bring individuals together, rising above contrasts and creating a sense of solidarity and charm inside the center of the fundamental brilliant time of the year.</p>
  4852.  
  4853.  
  4854.  
  4855. <p>As we travel over America to see these amassed Christmas conventions, we are reminded of the control of culture, community, and celebration to put through us all internal parts the soul of peace, cherish, and goodwill.</p>

  4862. <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>9. Final Words</strong></h2>
  4863.  
  4864.  
  4865.  
  4866. <p>As our cheerful travel over America draws to a close, we discover ourselves reflecting on the incomprehensible contrasts and luxuriousness of Christmas conventions that we&#8217;ve experienced. </p>
  4867.  
  4868.  
  4869.  
  4870. <p>From the disorienting lights of Unused York City to the intimate charm of small-town celebrations in inner parts of the Midwest, and from the spirited socially weaved work of craftsmanship of Progressed Orleans to the breathtaking magnificence of the West Coast, each zone has advanced its claim of a surprising mix of occasion charm and community soul.</p>
  4871.  
  4872.  
  4873.  
  4874. <p>Through our voyages, we&#8217;ve seen the control of Christmas bring individuals together, rising over contrasts in culture, foundation, and conviction. We&#8217;ve shared inner parts the charm of cheerful conventions, traded warm welcomes with untouchables, and felt the warmth of community and neighbourliness wherever we&#8217;ve gone.</p>
  4875.  
  4876.  
  4877.  
  4878. <p>But conceivably, the preeminent driving forward lesson of our travel is the overhaul that, in showing up loathe toward our changing qualities, we are all joined together by the soul of regard, charitableness, and goodwill that characterizes the occasion season.</p>
  4879.  
  4880.  
  4881.  
  4882. <p>Whether we celebrate Christmas as a committed certification, a social convention, or basically as a time to store up with cherished ones, the essential message remains the same: to spread liberality, kindness, and delight to all those around us.</p>
  4883.  
  4884.  
  4885.  
  4886. <p>As we say goodbye to these charming endeavours, let us carry the soul of Christmas with us all through the year, looking into cherishing each smaller than expected, getting a handle on the noteworthiness of changing qualities, and incrementing a hand of companionship and goodwill to all.</p>
  4887.  
  4888.  
  4889.  
  4890. <p>In conclusion, these imperative acts of mindfulness and affiliation make the occasion season—and life itself—a time of reflection and celebration.<br>&nbsp;</p>

  4944.  
  4945.  
  4946.  
  4947. <p>Whether it is a locally made and skillfully crafted calendar or a finely crafted presentation embellished with intricate plans, the Advent calendar serves as a symbol for the soul of the tour.</p>
  4948.  
  4949.  
  4950.  
  4951. <p>But perhaps the deepest issue of the next calendar is its underlying message of desire and recharging. When every front door is opened, it represents a step towards the excitement of Christmas.
