Protein in your body aids in skin texture improvement, and collagen alone accounts for 30% of total protein in the body. The protein in your body repairs skin tissues and promotes cell growth. Amino acids in the body help to keep skin cells hydrated and moist by locking moisture into the skin. It also makes your skin soft, healthy, and bouncy.

Tamil Nadu has Asia's largest bus terminal and the most international airports in India. Together, they help to make Tamil a major tourist destination in the country. Tamil is also one of India's most industrialised states, with numerous factories and ports. In fact, Tamil Nadu has more major ports than any other Indian state (Chennai, Ennore, and Tuticorin).

Though witches flying across the full moon is a common trope in horror films and Halloween decorations, the next full moon on Halloween won't occur until 2020. The most recent Halloween full moon occurred in 2001, and the previous one occurred in 1955.

Another fun fact about Spain is that it has 44 UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Only Italy and China have more. Probably the most famous UNESCO World Heritage Site is the Sagrada Familia cathedral in Barcelona. This building was begun to build in 1882 and is believed to be finished in 2026.

A student went 264.4 hours without sleep while still in high school, winning first place in the 10th Annual Great San Diego Science Fair in 1964. Randy said emphatically "no" when asked if he'd do it again. Others claim to have broken Randy's record, but none of their attempts were done under close scrutiny, as Randy's were, so there's no way of knowing if they're genuine.

Did you know that certain NASA scientists have shown that a flame would be spherical under microgravity (like on a space station)? The absence of gravity is what causes this phenomenon.

Carl Barnes, an Oklahoma farmer, spent years selectively breeding the colourful corn as a way to reconnect with his heritage. Anyone can now purchase and plant the multicoloured cobs.

In an interview with The Guardian, Teletubbies co-creator Anne Wood explained that the show's adorable and fluffy rabbits are not your typical pet bunnies. "They have to be enormous to match the scale," Wood explained. There was also an issue with their health. "The only ones we could discover that were acceptable had been bred on the continent to be eaten," Wood explained. "We provided them wonderful circumstances, ranging free across the Teletubby grasslands, but their breeding had given them enlarged hearts, and the animal trainer would greet me in grief practically weekly, telling me another had died."

In a single lifetime, a person will shed approximately 40 pounds of skin.
Humans, like snakes, shed their skin, but at a much slower rate. Your shed skin, on the other hand, will amount to nearly half of your body weight when accumulated.

While the British forbade lipstick, it remained a popular option in the good old USA, or more correctly, the American colonies. Colonial ladies altered the color of their lips by smearing red ribbons on them and sipping lemons. One colonial-era whisky company even advertised that it would turn consumers' lips crimson. They were probably mixing up the lips with the nose and Gin Blossoms. The original first lady, Martha Washington, had her own formula for lip rouge. She combined hog's lard with spermaceti discovered in whale intestines. That sounds really revolting!

While not everything in The Bell Jar corresponds to Plath's life, she drew on many of her own experiences to write the novel. Just like Esther in The Bell Jar, Plath received electroshock therapy as a treatment for her depression and was hospitalized several times over the course of her life. She received her first electroshock treatment after her first suicide attempt at the age of 20. She was treated at Maclean Hospital in Massachusetts, which has also treated Robert Lowell, Anne Sexton, David Foster Wallace, James Taylor, and Ray Charles.

Pigeons can find their way home from 1,300 miles away, believe it or not! Furthermore, they have demonstrated that they can do so after being relocated in full isolation to a region they had never been to before. The cages were even rotated during shipment to keep the birds guessing which way they were going. Scientists aren't sure how pigeons manage to find their way back when there are no visual, olfactory, or magnetic cues to help them. They now believe that pigeons have compasses and map mechanisms that aid in navigation. While the mapping mechanism is unknown, the compass mechanism is most likely based on the location of the sun.

A piece of porcelain requires many processes beginning with the gathering of raw materials and ending with the final firing. These processes include crushing the raw materials, cleaning and mixing them, forming the shape, bisque-firing (first-firing), glazing, and final firing.

True. The Greeks of old would bring a cake with candles on it. To the temple of Artemis, the Goddess of the Hunt and the Moon stood in for the glistening moon. 
As each candle stood for a year that had passed, it wasn't until the 1700s that it started to become a birthday custom.

Tulsi contains camphene, cineole, and eugenol, which help alleviate colds and congestion in the chest. Tulsi leaf juice combined with honey and ginger is excellent for bronchitis, asthma, influenza, cough, and cold.

Yes, smoke cannot exist without fire, but if your candle is smoking, the wick is probably too long. EASY FIX: extinguish the flame, let the wick cool, and then shorten it to around 6 mm.

Dogs have an incredible lexicon, with the potential to learn over 1,000 words! For example, Chaser, a Border Collie, understands both nouns and verbs well enough to create an action. Dog psychology schools at prominent colleges like as Duke University, Yale University, and Barnard College are actively conducting research on the subject.

Vatican City also has the world's shortest railway. Citta Vaticano is the only stop on the station's two 300-meter lines. During Pope Pius XI's papacy, railroad tracks and train stations were erected. It is used to transport things. There are no regular passenger trains scheduled to run on it.

The front of the Rolls Royce starring the Spirit of Ecstasy — an early hood peculiar to a Rolls Royce was prone to being tossed off its front. This booty hack is no longer a possible with the current models, thanks to a safety device that allows the mascot to retract quickly into the body of the car when force is applied. If you're wondering what the word means, it refers to the illicit love affair between John Walter, editor of The Car Illustrated magazine, and his secretary, Eleanor Velasco Thorton. Sultry and hot!

When Nevermind was released, Geffen only sent 46,521 copies to American retailers. The label hoped to sell 250,000 copies, as Sonic Youth did with Goo in 1990. Upper-level forecasts predicted that Nevermind would achieve gold status and sell 500,000 units. Then came "Smells Like Teen Spirit," which completely demolished all sales projections. The album was selling 300,000 copies per week at the height of Nirvanamania. It was certified 10x platinum in the United States by 1999. Overall, it has sold over 30 million copies worldwide.

Unlike in today's mass production era, porcelain in ancient China was made by a variety of small businesses in various districts. The imperial family would always prioritise purchasing better ceramics.

If you order a venti whenever you're feeling extra exhausted and really need a boost, you're doing it wrong. It seems logical to assume that a larger cup would hold more caffeine than a smaller cup, but that's actually not true. According to an anonymous former Starbucks employee, both grande and venti espresso drinks contain two shots of espresso, at least in the location where they worked at. This is only true for hot drinks, as venti iced espresso drinks have three shots while grande iced drinks have two.

Beagles and Houdini are a natural comparison. They can find a way out of yards and even cartons. For this reason, you must make sure that high fences are used to properly enclose your yard. If you can't do this, keep a tight eye on your new family member to prevent wandering. Additionally, if you intend to use a crate, be sure to choose a durable product.
