Kimchi did not contain chilli prior to the 17th century because chilli had not yet arrived in Korea! The Americas are where hot chilies originated. In the early 1600s, they were brought to Korea by western merchants. Koreans embraced them and included them into their kimchis. Indeed, gochugaru (or chilli powder pepper) and its vibrant red hue are now required ingredients in kimchi. This pepper has a delicious, smokey, and rich flavour.

Constellations (“set of stars”) are basically groups of stars that have imaginatively been linked together to depict mythological characters, animals and objects from mankind’s past. This allowed early people to organize the night sky into a recognizable form to assist in their religious study of the celestial heavens, as well as more earthly applications, such as predicting the seasons for farming, measuring time or as a directional compass.

The Indonesian flag, with a red stripe at the top and a white stripe at the bottom, does not appear to be the most inventive or thoroughly thought-out in the globe. While Poland's flag is reversed (white on top and red on the bottom), Indonesia and Monaco have flags that are nearly identical, with the exception of Indonesia's flag being somewhat broader.
The Yukon River is by far the longest, reaching 2,060 kilometers. Native Alaskans used Alaska's rivers for transit throughout the winter and summer in interior Alaska, and also offered a large supply of food for those who lived along their banks.

One quiet little secret exists in Grand Central. The whispering gallery, also known as the whispering wall, is a modest secret that stands apart from the surrounding turmoil of city life. It is located on the less frenetic lower level and has no great fanfare to indicate its presence. Four arched entryways make a square shape in the whispering gallery. And if you whisper something into the arch and someone else stands 30 feet away with their ear to the arch diagonal from yours, they'll be able to clearly hear what you said — despite the distance and the acoustic deafening noise that is typical of Grand Central.
Its origins are in the Greek words kalos, eidos, and skopios, which translate to "beautiful shape."

The mantis shrimp uses its two tentacles, which have the same velocity as a rifle gunshot, and dismember other shellfish by boiling the water around them to produce a shockwave that can kill animals. To put that into perspective, a human could have thrown a rock into space if they had used the same force in their arms! Additionally, the intensity of their shell is so great that it served as a model for true human body armour.

The fate of the Afrikaans language was a hot topic during negotiations for South Africa's new government in 1992. The ANC sought to make English the official language of the nation, but Afrikaner nationalists were anxious that it remains on par with English. The ANC concurred, but it was difficult for them to justify simply adopting Afrikaans and leaving out other indigenous languages. Then came South Africa's inclusive linguistic policy.
Try exfoliating if you have rough skin. By allowing new cells to emerge from beneath the skin's surface when you exfoliate, you help to even out the skin's surface.
To combat the dead, complexion-dulling skin cells that give your skin a tired look, exfoliate frequently — say, once a week or so.
Eggshells have a porous structure. That is, they allow air to pass through. As eggs age, they absorb air and form an air pocket. In general, you can test the freshness of an egg by placing it in a cup of water. If the egg floats, it means it is old and has a large air pocket, and you should avoid eating it. If the egg remains on the bottom, it is usually safe to eat. You can smell an egg before eating it to ensure that it is fresh. If it smells sour, you should avoid it.
The evil eye has become a popular piece of jewellery in a variety of cultures, but it has a much deeper meaning for the Greeks. Many Greeks wear this token for security as well as aesthetic reasons, as it is thought to protect you from any curses that an angry person may throw your way. It is always preferable to be safe than sorry.
We'll look through cricket in further detail. A century is an innings in which one batter runs a hundred runs without being hit. That is really difficult for me to achieve. Alastair Cook is the oldest player to reach the age of 38. But that is not the all-time record held by Indian legend Sachin Tendulkar. Tendulkar retired in 2013 at the age of 100. Tendulkar is known as the "God of Cricket."
The leathery smell in Chanel’s Cuir de Russie comes from an ingredient originally derived from the abdomen of beavers. Called Castoreum, there’s a fruit-scented extract that is taken from the abdominal glands of beavers and used in perfumes. It is supposed to smell sweet, warm, and animalic. However, since the animal has to be killed to remove the sac which contains this “castor”, perfumes that contain this scent use synthetic recreations of the note.

That is correct. They can transition from one gender to another at any time. The switch is determined by which is most suitable for mating at the time. Oysters normally begin as males and mature into females. Another fascinating oyster truth is that the substrate to which it attaches itself shapes this sea species! It adheres to the surface occupied by a cluster of oysters (known as the bed) and continues to build around it.
