When you happen to be in a long term relationship, it's quite normal for a couple's sex life to reach a low point or get stuck in a rut. Even the most ardent couples experience sexual lulls. The early phases of a relationship, when you can't keep your hands off each other, are fueled by strong chemical forces in the brain.

In different countries, they used different materials to make the balls for the predecessors of today’s tennis, which went through a series of changes, and it wasn’t until 1882 that the tennis ball was perfected by Walter Clopton Wingfield, and it took almost a century for the ball to get the colour we now know and love.
