Home to barrier islands, the Blue Ridge Mountains, and a barbecue divide that makes politics look mild, travelers could cross the country to find the sheer geographic diversity that spans one end of the state to the other.

3 min readNew DelhiJun 5, 2026 11:00 PM IST Many men diagnosed with an enlarged prostate or Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) worry that surgery is inevitable. But doctors say that is not always the case. The condition becomes more common with age and can cause symptoms such as frequent urination, a weak urine stream, difficulty starting urination, or the feeling that the bladder has not emptied completely.

Octopuses have long been known for their remarkable intelligence.
