Read MoreAQUA by LUQEL presents mineral infused water cocktails to ‘suit your mood’ First, it was the banana-randomberry-wheat grass smoothies. Then the cold brew, triple-shot, something-milk lattes, the German-word craft beers, the small-batch, barrel-aged Prohibition cocktails. Now a new bar in Dubai, the Middle Eastern hub of all things cutting-edge, is serving “gourmet water.” Thirty varieties of it. The Aqua Water Bar by Luqel harvests its water the old-fashioned way — from the faucet.

Read MoreWhen you visit Bali, you won't come across a cockatoo, but if you venture to the nearby island of Lombok, you will spot one. A similar situation applies to marsupials: Australia harbors a variety of marsupial species like kangaroos and koalas. However, as you head westward, their presence diminishes. While Sulawesi, an Indonesian island, is home to only two representatives of these distinctively Australian mammals, you'll be disappointed in your search for them on neighboring Borneo. On the other hand, Australia doesn't host mammals that are typically found in Asia, such as bears, tigers, or rhinos. The striking shift in the animal population's composition in this region was noted by the renowned British naturalist Alfred Russell Wallace, who not only co-discovered the theory of evolut...

Read MoreWritten sources document that kissing was practiced by the peoples of the ancient Middle East 4,500 years ago, conclude researchers from the University of Copenhagen and University of Oxford in a new article published in the journal Science. New research has postulated that the initial indications of human lip kissing emerged 3,500 years ago in a highly precise South Asian area. It is believed that this practice subsequently disseminated to various regions, thereby concurrently hastening the transmission of herpes simplex virus 1. As per the findings presented by Dr. Troels Pank Arbøll and Dr. Sophie Lund Rasmussen in a recent article published in the journal Science, they assert that based on an extensive examination of written sources from ancient Mesopotamian civilizations, the...
