"Located along the border of Chile and Argentina, the Filo del Sol copper deposit has been under investigation for years for potentially being one of the largest copper deposits in the world. And that makes sense, considering this treasure is nestled along the Atacama Desert — long known for its immense copper reserves due to its location in the Andes and its placement within the eastern portion of the Ring of Fire. However, an initial mineral resource estimate completed in 2025 suggests that the companies in charge of mining this area — the U.S.-based Lundin Mining and BHP — may have stumbled upon five times more metal than they bargained for."

In order to authenticate her nobility, his mother (the queen) places a single pea at the bottom of the woman's bed, beneath 20 mattresses and 20 quilts. If the woman is sensitive to the pea, she must have royal blood — obviously. Although she falls asleep easily atop the towering bed, the woman spends the entire night tossing and turning because the bed is so uncomfortable. Later, the queen confirms it was the pea that made her sleep so unbearable. But if you were to ask a sleep doctor today, it may have had more to do with the princess's sleeping position.  It's no secret that your sleeping position can significantly affect your sleep quality. But according to science, which sleeping position is best?" Popular Science » Your wimpy workouts aren't cutting it, scientists say "When it comes to exercise, the best advice might be to work harder, not longer. Research published this past weekend highlights the unique benefits of a breathtaking workout. Scientists tracked the long-term health of residents in the U.K. People who spent more time performing vigorous physical activity during the week were significantly less likely to develop eight different chronic diseases and to die earlier, the researchers found, even when accounting for people's total length of activity. They argue that regularly performing just short bursts of strenuous exercise, such as running after a bus, could have a big impact on people's longevity."

Commissioned in 1552 by Prince Pier Francesco Orsini, it was an expression of grief designed to shock. … The park is filled with bizarre and fascinating sculptures for which only the accompanying inscriptions provide any explanation. Among the pieces are a war elephant, a monstrous fish-head, a giant tearing another giant in half, and a house built on a tilt to disorient the viewer. Perhaps the most frightening piece in the garden is an enormous head, mouth opened wide in a scream. The accompanying inscription reads 'all reason departs."
