who have turned the area into a colourful, messy place are also being searched. Artists
will be allowed to spray graffiti on the walls only in a remote part of the city. So far this week, three graffiti artists have been fined in the old part of the city. They were given the last warning. All the calls and reports on this issue are being investigated. A lot of time, money and effort has been spent on removing graffiti from the streets.

Coffee is one of the world's most popular drinks. The scientific opinion about
whether it is healthy or not is always changing. Some researchers say that coffee
can lower your risk for some types of cancer. Other researchers claim that it can
cause high blood pressure as well as other health problems.
This may be true, but we don't drink coffee because it's good for us. We drink it because it tastes good and for the mental boost that it gives us. Coffee has been famous for perking us up for over a thousand years. According to one story, a 9th-century goat herder in Ethiopia discovered the effects of coffee when he saw that his goats started jumping around after eating some coffee berries. In the 16th century, the first coffee shop was opened in Istanbul, Turkiye. Coffee shops were not just places for drinking but also for learning and having a conversation. These coffee shops were called 'Schools of the Wise'. Coffee and - more importantly - coffee shop culture made its way to Europe in the 17th century. Under the influence of coffee, businessmen, artists, writers, and philosophers created some of their masterpieces. Beethoven, Bach, Bob Dylan, Jean- Paul Sartre and JK Rowling all created most of their work in coffee shops. While many people say that coffee helps them feel more awake, think more clearly, and speak more clearly, too, perhaps there's more to it. Maybe these effects are not all caused by coffee itself. Many say that coffee shops help them stimulate their creativity. According to research from the University of Illinois, the background noise of a coffee shop can make you think more creatively. |
They tested people using different levels of background noise and found that 70
decibels, which is the average level of noise in a busy coffee shop, is ideal for
improving creativity. Background noise below this level is so quiet that our focus
becomes too narrow. And background noise above this level is too distracting. The
midlevel of background noise in a coffee shop allows us to think in a more creative way.
But what if going to coffee shops isn't your cup of tea? Without leaving your home, you can download and listen to coffee shop background sounds with the hope that it will make you more creative.
