5-strange-and-weird-laws-from-around-the-world

Human society is full of rules and laws. All these laws tell us what we should do and what must not do to live peacefully within society. These social boundaries are created by humans that’s why they may contain inconsistencies, errors, and ambiguities.

Do you know some countries have bizarre and strange laws and rules for their citizens? Let’s explore 5 strange and weird laws from around the world that will astonish you.

1)    Smile Law in Milan, Italy

Let’s start happily with the “Happy Law’ of Milan City, Italy. No doubt, it is not an actual law. However, it is a strict local regulation that everyone in Milan must smile when they are outside their home. Furthermore, the authorities think that this regulation is enhancing the positivity and happiness in the city atmosphere.

On the other side, it is prohibited to smile in hospitals and funerals. Additionally, you can’t smile in front of people suffering from any serious disease.

2)    It’s illegal to Forget Your Wife’s Birthday, in Samoa.

It’s alarming news for all those gentlemen who used to forget their wives’ birthdays. You must upgrade your memory software and try to remember your wife’s birthday. God knows when your country or city announces a rule like Samoa.

Yes, in Samoa, it is illegal to forget your wife’s birthday. It is a subject of punishment there. The first offense may be a warning and if you continue doing this then the punishment maybe severe.

So, gentlemen, try to set reminders in your mobile calendar. No one will know that the calendar is reminding you through a loud alarm or you remember the special day of the birthday of your beloved wife by yourself. The choice is yours, gentlemen.

3)    Anti-Chewing Gum Regulation In Singapore

No one can say that he doesn’t know about Singapore. Singapore is one of the most developed countries in the world. However, it also has a strange law that states “It is illegal to consume chewing gum in Singapore.

A reason behind this “Anti-chewing gum regulation’ is to enhance the level of cleanliness. In addition to this, this law also saves a large amount of money that the government uses to remove gums from sidewalks.

4)    Vote or Pay Fine in Egypt

Most of the countries don’t force their people to vote during the election. However, in Egypt, it is compulsory to cast your vote. If you are not going to cast your vote then you have to pay a fine. Therefore, if you are an Egyptian citizen then it is must to vote to select your favorite candidate.

5)    Rude Gestures & Harsh Words Are Prohibited

The UAE and Kenya rules prohibit use of the offensive rude gestures and swearing. Moreover, it is illegal to use harsh and insulting words during anger in public places. Therefore, you must not use any rude gesture as well as your tongue at a time of anger. Otherwise, be ready to visit a jail or pay a fine generously.

Black Holes are Growing Mysteriously| Here is One Clue In 2024 Research

Black holes are growing mysteriously
Black holes are growing

The growth of supermassive black holes is raising several questions for the global astronomers. How do they grow so big? This is the main question that is disturbing astronomers and space researchers’ communities.

Furthermore, a team of international astronomers found a powerful magnetic rotating wind in their latest research, 2024. They believe that this rotation of magnetic wind is responsible for the growth of black holes. Researchers are saying that this swirling wind activity is associated with both the birth of new stars and the growth of black holes.

No doubt that nearly most galaxies have a black hole in the middle of them. Scientists and astronomers are trying to find a clue to their mysterious growth. To explore this mystery, a team of scientists from Northwestern University and Chalmers tried to study a nearby galaxy ESO320-G030. No doubt, it is a very active galaxy and produces stars very rapidly.

Susanne Aalto, Professor of Radio Astronomy at Chalmers University of Technology said:

“Since this galaxy is very luminous in the infrared, telescopes can resolve striking details in its center. We wanted to measure light from molecules carried by winds from the galaxy’s core, hoping to trace how the winds are launched by a growing, or soon-to-be-growing, supermassive black hole. By using ALMA, we were able to study light from behind thick layers of dust and gas.”

Additionally, Susanne Aalto said:

“We can see how the winds form a spiraling structure, billowing out from the galaxy’s center. When we measured the rotation, mass, and velocity of the material flowing outwards, we were surprised to find that we could rule out many explanations for the power of the wind, star formation for example. Instead, the flow outwards may be powered by the inflow of gas and seems to be held together by magnetic fields.”

All scientists of this research team think that black holes are growing due to this spiraling powerful magnetic wind.

Mark Gorski, a professor at Northwestern University shared his observation about black holes through these words:

“It is well-established that stars in the first stages of their evolution grow with the help of rotating winds accelerated by magnetic fields, just like the wind in this galaxy. Our observations show that supermassive black holes and tiny stars can grow by similar processes but on very different scales.”

However, the space scientists want to study this phenomenon in more detail. Also, they want to explore that is this discovery is the right answer to solve this mystery of black holes’ growth. Due to this reason, they want to explore other galaxies to see how common this phenomenon is.

Mark Gorski also said:

“Far from all questions about this process are answered. In our observations, we see clear evidence of a rotating wind that helps regulate the growth of the galaxy’s central black hole. Now that we know what to look for, the next step is to find out how common a phenomenon is. And if this is a stage that all galaxies with supermassive black holes go through, what happens to them next?”

Let’s see what else scientists will find in their future research to reveal the mystery of black hole growth.

microsoft office for mac

This is an extra effort we put on this method to help peoples on the globe. We are going to share a working way to use Microsoft office on any macOS. But you have to follow the instructions.

Disclaimer

Do remember, it is not an official activation from Microsoft. If you want Official activation Microsoft, then buy it and support the Manufacturer for their struggle to develop it. This is a tested workaround but if and if you make damage to your files or system, we dont accept it.

First of all, uninstall any Microsoft office app you have installed. if you dont know how to uninstall Microsoft Office. There are two main ways to remove an application on macOS, depending on where the application came from:

  1. Removing apps downloaded from the App Store:
    • Open Launchpad. You can find it in your Dock or by opening it from your Applications folder.
    • Click and hold the app icon you want to remove until the icons start shaking.
    • An “X” will appear in the top left corner of the app icon. Click on the “X”.
    • A confirmation window will pop up. Click “Delete” to confirm.
  2. Removing apps downloaded from outside the App Store:
    • Open Finder.
    • Navigate to the Applications folder. You can find it in the sidebar of any Finder window.
    • Find the app you want to remove and select it.
    • You can then do any of the following to move the app to the Trash:
      • Drag the app to the Trash bin in your Dock.
      • Select the app and choose “File” > “Move to Trash” from the menu bar.
      • Select the app and press Command-Delete (⌘⌫) on your keyboard.
    • Empty the Trash to permanently remove the application.

Note: Some applications downloaded from outside the App Store may include their own uninstaller. In this case, you may find the uninstaller within the application itself or in the application’s folder within Applications.

By following above steps, you can easily remove unwanted applications from your Mac.

Now Let Start the installation journey.

Step 1: Download the Office 2019 Volume License 16.27.0 from https://macadmins.software/. or from the official link from Microsoft. Dont download any other version. if you did so, then the Microsoft Office will failed to activate and you will lose your time. To make thing ease, simply search on the webpage for this specific version and download the full suite. Full suite mean the bundle of applications. because there are each application available separately. its up to your choice.

When download complete, open it from download folder and install it. Installation process may take about 5 minutes, we tested this on MacBook Air 2017 ( GB 256GB SSD and core i5 processor).

Step 2: Download the Microsoft_Office_2019_VL_Serializer.pkg and install it. Installation of this package will require your permissions to install and the user and password on prompt window and hit okay. When it complete then open any Microsoft Office Product like, Word, Excel, Power Point, Outlook, and others if did not skip any on customizing option screen. Your product is fully activated.

Dont try to bind it with your Microsoft Account, because that may cause the problem.

Note that Office2019 DO NOT support activate via simple copy/paste plist license file which is the simplest way to activate Office 2016. Fortunately, you can also use the VL Serializer tool, just install Office 2019 and Serializer, then run Serializer to activate. therefore we are skipping this now the old way. if there is any issue with the activation. leave your comment. we will try to help you with that.

Touching your face can spread germs and cause infections

Your hands are constantly in contact with various surfaces and objects that may harbor germs, such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. When you touch your face, you can transfer these germs to your eyes, nose, mouth, and ears, which are the main entry points for infections. This can increase your risk of getting sick, especially during cold and flu season or during a pandemic.

Some of the diseases that can be transmitted by touching your face include:

  • The common cold
  • The flu
  • COVID-19
  • Conjunctivitis (pink eye)
  • Staphylococcus aureus (staph infection)
  • Streptococcus pyogenes (strep throat)
  • Herpes simplex virus (cold sores)
  • Acne
  • Impetigo
  • Eczema
  • Psoriasis

To prevent the spread of germs and infections, you should wash your hands frequently and thoroughly with soap and water, or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer if soap and water are not available. You should also avoid touching your face as much as possible, especially when your hands are dirty or when you are sick or around someone who is sick.

Touching your face can damage your skin and cause premature aging

Touching your face can also harm your skin and make you look older than you are. When you touch your face, you can:

Gold coins have a rich and fascinating history that spans across centuries and civilizations. The first known gold coins were minted in the kingdom of Lydia, in modern-day Turkey, around 600 BC. These early coins, known as electrum coins, were a naturally occurring alloy of gold and silver. They were stamped with a lion’s head, a symbol of the Lydian king. The use of gold coins as a medium of exchange quickly spread to ancient Greece, Rome, and eventually throughout the known world.

In the Middle Ages, gold coins continued to play a significant role in commerce. The Byzantine Empire, for example, issued solidus, a gold coin that was widely accepted across Europe and the Mediterranean. During the Renaissance, the Italian city-states minted florins and ducats, while England introduced the noble, followed by the angel, the crown, and the guinea. The discovery of the New World in the 15th century led to a massive influx of gold into Europe, resulting in the minting of large numbers of gold coins. This rich history of gold coins reflects the enduring value of gold and its central role in global trade and economy.

1. American Eagle Gold Coins: These are official gold bullion coins of the United States. They were first released by the United States Mint in 1986. They are available in four sizes: 1 oz, 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, and 1/10 oz.

2. Canadian Maple Leaf Gold Coins: These are official bullion coins of Canada, first released in 1979 by the Royal Canadian Mint. The coin is known for its .9999 fine gold purity.

3. South African Krugerrand: This is one of the oldest and most recognizable gold coins in the world, first minted in 1967. The Krugerrand was the first gold coin to contain exactly one ounce of fine gold.

4. British Gold Sovereign: This coin, first minted in 1817, is one of the oldest and most historically significant coins still being produced today. It contains .2354 ounces of gold.

5. Australian Kangaroo Gold Coins: These coins are minted by the Perth Mint in Australia and are known for their high-quality .9999 fine gold. The design changes annually, always featuring a kangaroo, Australia’s most famous marsupial.

6. Chinese Gold Panda: These coins are produced by the People’s Republic of China, with the first minting in 1982. The design changes annually and always features a panda, a symbol of China.

7. Austrian Philharmonic Gold Coins: These coins are minted by the Austrian Mint in Vienna and were first introduced in 1989. The design features various instruments from the Vienna Philharmonic, one of the finest orchestras in the world.

8. Swiss Vreneli Gold Coins: These are Switzerland’s most popular gold coins, minted between 1897 and 1936. The design features a female head (Vreneli) on the obverse and the Swiss shield surrounded by oak leaves on the reverse.

Each of these coins has its own unique history and design, and they are all highly sought after by collectors and investors alike.

ACT FAST SELL GOLD JEWELLERY NOW

If you want extra cash now is the time to sell gold jewellery, from your tangled chains to earrings found in the back of your jewellery box. The truth is those gold jewellery pieces you never wear could be worth cash in hand.

While the gold prices hover around the $2,000 per ounce mark, it is expected to stay robust throughout 2022. So for you, this is an excellent time to sell unwanted gold jewellery if you are strapped for cash.

what is driving the gold price?

You may find that it is worth something when you have it assessed by a gold buyer. Yet, keep in mind that the gold buyer is not looking for your jewellery pieces but the gold content inside bringing value. Still, what is driving the gold price? Well, in times of crisis, you turn to gold for your stability, increasing the value of the precious metal.

Still, even if the war and other crises settle down, you have different contributing factors that will continue. Hence, if you need to make quick cash, turn your gold bars, rounds, and commemorative gold pieces into cash to yield more now than later.

On the other hand, you might be surprised that you can get a good payout. Many gold sellers predict that the value of gold will double this year. The saying goes that when the stock markets struggle, the precious metals move in the opposite direction.

How you can sell gold jewellery?

So, if the price of gold at about $2,000 sounds good, here is how you can sell gold jewellery. First, gather your gold jewellery pieces and determine the golds worth. Then, categorise each gold piece into the karat marking and weigh the items to calculate a melt value.

If you cannot find the karat marking, visit two local gold buyer shops to see what they will pay for the gold jewellery pieces. Then sell your gold items to the local dealer that offers you a reasonable percentage of the melt value.

The important thing is to get the best price for your gold jewellery. So to find the current gold price check it out online at an institutional seller for the spot price. On the other hand, you can only expect a buyback price below the spot as they need to make a profit.

You can then aim to get between 90% to 95% of the gold spot price selling gold bars and coins and between 70% to 80% of the gold jewellery and other items’ melt value. While you do have two ways to sell precious metals online and to local buyers.

The advantage of selling to local gold buyers is that you get your money fast at the same time as you receive your offer. Doing this is relatively safe compared to trading gold online, where you must wait for up to a week. In addition, the price of gold can change when sending your items per post and receiving the buyback offer.

So, head to a gold dealer that buys gold and other precious metals to have it assessed on the spot to offer you a price based on the amount of gold present.
