Sitting too much
โ
Research shows that prolonged sitting increases your risk of cardiovascular disease, obesity, diabetes, cancer and other health problems. The more time you spend sitting, the higher your risk of an early death. A 2017 study that tracked the activity levels of 7,985 adults over age 45 found that those who had the greatest amount of sedentary time had almost double the mortality risk of those who spent less time sitting.

โ The Temple of Garni is the only surviving Greco-Roman building in Armenia and the former Soviet Union.
โ It was built in 77 AD by King Tiridates I, who was crowned by the Roman emperor Nero.
โ The temple was dedicated to the Sun God, Mihr, and has a Greek inscription that mentions a construction project in 77 AD.
โ The temple miraculously survived an earthquake in 1679 and the Christianization of Armenia in the 4th century, when most pagan temples were destroyed.
โ The temple is a captivating enigma and a historical treasure, attracting over 135,000 visitors each year.
Mobile phones exported from India (By value): ๐ฎ๐ณ๐ฑ

โ India has achieved a remarkable growth of 100% in mobile phone exports by value in the fiscal year 2023, compared to the previous year. This means that India has doubled its revenue from exporting mobile phones in just one year reaching Rs 90,000 crore or about US$12 billion.
โ India has become a major player in the global mobile phone market as it has surpassed Vietnam to become the second largest exporter of mobile phones after China. According to a report by ICEA, India's mobile phone exports have increased from US$3 billion in 2019 to US$10.5 billion in 2022, while Vietnam's exports have declined from US$16.5 billion to US$12.5 billion in the same period.

โ The government's policies and schemes that have provided incentives and support for domestic manufacturing and exports of mobile phones, such as the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme, the Scheme for Promotion of Manufacturing of Electronic Components and Semiconductors (SPECS) and the Modified Electronics Manufacturing Clusters (EMC 2.0) scheme.
โ The presence and expansion of major global and local mobile phone brands and manufacturers in India such as Samsung, Apple, Xiaomi, Oppo, Vivo, Micromax, Lava and others, that have invested in setting up factories, R&D centers, and supply chains in the country.
โ The increasing demand and preference for mobile phones in the domestic and international markets, especially in the emerging and developing regions such as Africa, Middle East and Southeast Asia where India has a competitive edge over other exporters.

โ Europe rules the top 10, with Aussie and Kiwi mates. They have it all: health, wealth, and happiness. But they may cost you an arm and a leg.
โ The next 10 are a mix of continents and cultures. They may be cheaper and more diverse, but also less perfect. Some are hot spots for expats and retirees who love the sun and the fun.
โ The last 10 are mostly in Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. They may not be your cup of tea, unless you like adventure and challenge. Some are rising stars that may offer some rewards, but also some risks.
โ The list is based on a survey, not reality. It may vary depending on who you are and what you want. So don't take it as gospel, but as a guide for your retirement dream.

Have you heard about the Houthis? They recently fired a large number of ballistic missiles in the direction of Israel !

The Houthi rebels are a militant movement in Yemen that follows a branch of Shia Islam known as Zaidism. They have been fighting against the Yemeni government and its allies since 2004 and have taken control of large parts of the country including the capital Sanaa.
The origins of the Houthi movement can be traced back to the 1990s when a group of Zaidi religious scholars and students led by Hussein Badr al-Din al-Houthi, formed a revivalist movement called the 'Believing Youth'. They wanted to defend the Zaidi doctrine and identity from the influence of Sunni Islam, especially the Wahhabi sect that was supported by Saudi Arabia. They also opposed the secular and corrupt policies of the Yemeni president Ali Abdullah Saleh, who had ruled the country since 1978.
In 2004, the Yemeni government launched a military campaign to crush the Believing Youth, accusing them of instigating violence and sectarianism. This sparked a series of wars that lasted until 2010, in which Hussein al-Houthi and many of his followers were killed. The movement then adopted the name of Houthis after their slain leader and continued to resist the government forces and their tribal allies. The Houthis also developed ties with Iran, which allegedly provided them with weapons and training.
During the 2011 Arab Spring protests in Yemen, the Houthis jumped in alongside other groups, but clashes with rivals like al-Islah and the southern separatists ensued. In 2012, Saleh stepped down, passing the baton to his deputy Hadi, who took charge amid a chaotic transition marked by corruption and violence.
The Houthis seized Sanaa and other cities in 2014, throw out Hadi who fled to Saudi Arabia. In 2015, a Saudi-led coalition intervened to restore Hadi and stop the Houthis, but could not defeat them.
Yemenโs war has caused a huge humanitarian disaster. The UN says it is the worldโs worst crisis. Peace talks have failed because of the conflicting demands of the warring parties. The Houthis want to stop the coalitionโs attacks and have a say in politics. The Hadi government and its allies want the Houthis to give up their territory and weapons.
Saudi Arabia and Iran are fighting a proxy war in Yemen. The US and other Western countries back the Saudi-led coalition, while Iran denies supporting the Houthis. Both sides have been blamed for harming civilians and infrastructure.
The Houthi rebels are not a monolithic group, they are a diverse coalition of factions and tribes against the Saudi-backed government. They have different goals and beliefs from moderate to radical. Some are religious, some are economic, some are local. They also have internal conflicts and rivals.
Recently Yemenโs Houthi rebels claim they launched a large number of ballistic missiles and drones towards Israel and warned of more attacks to come. Israel earlier said it destroyed an unidentified โaerial targetโ over the Red Sea on Tuesday morning. The incidents come as regional tensions rise amid the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza.

They also opposed the secular and corrupt policies of the Yemeni president Ali Abdullah Saleh, who had ruled the country since 1978.
In 2004, the Yemeni government launched a military campaign to crush the Believing Youth, accusing them of instigating violence and sectarianism. This sparked a series of wars that lasted until 2010, in which Hussein al-Houthi and many of his followers were killed. The movement then adopted the name of Houthis after their slain leader and continued to resist the government forces and their tribal allies. The Houthis also developed ties with Iran, which allegedly provided them with weapons and training.
During the 2011 Arab Spring protests in Yemen, the Houthis jumped in alongside other groups, but clashes with rivals like al-Islah and the southern separatists ensued. In 2012, Saleh stepped down, passing the baton to his deputy Hadi, who took charge amid a chaotic transition marked by corruption and violence.
The Houthis seized Sanaa and other cities in 2014, throw out Hadi who fled to Saudi Arabia. In 2015, a Saudi-led coalition intervened to restore Hadi and stop the Houthis, but could not defeat them.
Yemenโs war has caused a huge humanitarian disaster. The UN says it is the worldโs worst crisis. Peace talks have failed because of the conflicting demands of the warring parties. The Houthis want to stop the coalitionโs attacks and have a say in politics. The Hadi government and its allies want the Houthis to give up their territory and weapons.
Saudi Arabia and Iran are fighting a proxy war in Yemen. The US and other Western countries back the Saudi-led coalition, while Iran denies supporting the Houthis. Both sides have been blamed for harming civilians and infrastructure.
The Houthi rebels are not a monolithic group, they are a diverse coalition of factions and tribes against the Saudi-backed government. They have different goals and beliefs from moderate to radical. Some are religious, some are economic, some are local. They also have internal conflicts and rivals.
Recently Yemenโs Houthi rebels claim they launched a large number of ballistic missiles and drones towards Israel and warned of more attacks to come. Israel earlier said it destroyed an unidentified โaerial targetโ over the Red Sea on Tuesday morning. The incidents come as regional tensions rise amid the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza.
