Keeping Romance Alive in Long-Term Marriage​

After years of marriage, it’s easy for romance to fade under the busyness of life. But keeping that spark alive is essential for a lasting relationship. Planning regular date nights—even if it’s just staying in with a movie and takeout—helps reconnect. Dressing up a little, holding hands, or saying “I love you” often keeps the romance present. Surprising your partner with something they love, like their favorite dessert or a book by their favorite author, shows you still pay attention. Physical affection, like cuddling on the couch or a kiss goodbye, also keeps the connection strong. Romance in long-term marriage isn’t about perfection—it’s about making an effort to keep loving each other in intentional ways.​

The Science Behind Rainbows

A rainbow is not just a pretty sight; it’s a fascinating science lesson. It forms when sunlight passes through water droplets in the air, like after rain or near a waterfall. Sunlight is white, but it’s actually a mix of all colors. When it hits a water droplet, it bends (refracts), reflects off the inside of the droplet, and bends again when it exits. This process splits the white light into its separate colors, creating the rainbow’s arc. You can only see a rainbow if you stand between the sun and the water droplets—with the sun at your back. Sometimes, you might see a double rainbow: the second one is fainter, with colors reversed. Learning how rainbows form makes me appreciate them even more—they’re nature’s perfect mix of beauty and science.​

The Evolution of Mobile Phones​

Mobile phones have come a long way since their invention. The first mobile phone, introduced in the 1980s, was large and heavy, with only basic calling functions.

It’s exciting to imagine what future mobile phones will look like, with innovations like foldable screens and AI integration.​

3. Intestate Succession: What Happens Without a Will?​

When a person dies without a valid will (intestate), their property is distributed through intestate succession laws, which vary by country and state but follow a general hierarchy of heirs. Typically, the first priority goes to the surviving spouse or civil partner. In many jurisdictions, if the deceased has children, the spouse may receive a portion of the estate (e.g., a fixed sum or half) with the rest split among the children. If there is no spouse or children, the estate passes to parents, then siblings, and so on to more distant relatives (aunts, uncles, cousins). If no living relatives are found, the estate escheats (reverts) to the government. Intestate succession can lead to unintended consequences: unmarried partners, stepchildren, or friends are usually not recognized as heirs, even if the deceased intended to provide for them. It can also cause delays and conflicts, as family members may disagree with the legal distribution. For example, a parent who wanted to leave a fami...
