The Tonle Sap supports about half of Cambodia's agriculture and is a key fishing source. The incredible thing about this lake is that it regenerates in major areas throughout the rainy season when monsoon rains fall and flood the centre area between Siem Reap and Phnom Penh.

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.

Obviously, it failed. McDonald's has been introducing healthy choices onto its menus for the last decade. It now provides a wide variety of salads, and in 2011, it made it possible to substitute apples for fries in Happy Meals. However, before settling on apples, the fast food company experimented with a variety of fruits and vegetables, most notably broccoli. But not just any broccoli will do. Recognizing that youngsters dislike the waxy green vegetable, McDonald's designed it to taste like bubblegum.

Tisanes are 'teas' made with no Camellia Sinensis plant leaves. Peppermint tea, chamomile tea, rooibos tea, hibiscus tea, lemon verbena tea, and other teas are examples. The vast majority, if not all, are caffeine-free! A fun fact: caffeine is still present in decaffeinated coffee in small amounts, averaging around 3%. Caffeine is extracted from green beans using the swiss water method, carbon dioxide method, methylene chloride method, or ethyl acetate method while they are still green (pre-roast).

The Chinese government started mass-producing it in the 14th century. Manufacturers weren't able to guarantee Splinter-Free Toilet Paper until 1935.

For devotees, it sometimes seems like Starbucks can do no wrong, especially when it comes to new and creative drinks. But they have had a big flop, and it's called the Chantico. The Chantico came out in 2005 and was described as a "drinkable dessert."

It was a 6-ounce hot "drinking chocolate" that was supposed to mimic the sweet chocolate drink served in Europe. According to some employees, it failed because it couldn't be customized, while others say customers said it was too rich and heavy. Starbucks pulled the drink in 2006.

Plath received a $2,080 novel-writing fellowship from the publisher Harper & Row, but when she turned in her manuscript they declined to publish it. An editor at Harper & Row called it "disappointing, juvenile and overwrought." The novel was eventually published in the U.K., but Plath was not able to find a U.S. publisher for it in her lifetime.

Approximately 2 million people were slaughtered during the Khmer Rouge's four-year reign. That equates to one-fifth of the population. Because of the atrocities that occurred between 1975 and 1979, up to 63% of Cambodia's population is under the age of thirty.

We know people who thrived in high school but fell apart in college when the workload was higher and they had to wash their own laundry, and people who were huge successes when they were single, but struggled mightily when they had to get their kids out of the house in the morning as well as themselves. It helps to recognize and plan for these extra stresses – and not beat yourself up when life gets harder.

Criminals have been sailing the seas for as long as there have been ships. Historians, for example, have discovered evidence of pirates in the Mediterranean as far back as 1353 B.C. During this period, the Egyptian pharaoh Akhenaten complained about pirates raiding his coastal cities and ports. According to the Royal Museums Greenwich, the tyrants also threatened ancient Greece's trading routes and looted grain and olive oil cargoes from Roman ships.

No one is totally sure why hypnic jerks occur but they are deemed to be perfectly healthy. However, they may be increased by anxiety, caffeine or physical activity close to bedtime. They’re more frequent in young people and decrease as we get older.

 

Writing, "I am not the serious, grave, cool-hearted individual you suppose; you would think me romantic and eccentric," Charlotte Bronte turned down a marriage proposal in 1839. While Anne may have once had a failed romance, Emily hardly wanted to leave the parsonage.

Since the turn of the 20th century, soccer has become incredibly popular in Bulgaria. The Bulgarian National Team has competed internationally and qualified for five World Cups (1962, 1966, 1986, 1994, and 1998).

Consider space to be a stretched rubber sheet with intersecting grid lines. When you set something on the sheet, it sinks somewhat. The larger the thing on the sheet, the deeper it sinks. The sinking effect alters the grid lines, causing them to become curved rather than straight. The farther you drill into space, the more space bends and curves. And black holes create the deepest wells. Nothing, not even light, has enough energy to climb back out of a black hole, which creates such a deep abyss in space.

More than 20000 Chinese immigrants once lived in Tangra's China Town, the only one in India. However, just 2000 of them are left now. There are inexpensive dining options and bars in this neighborhood. People visit this area of the city because of the real Chinese food.

When our airways are too small to allow the air to leave our lungs quickly enough, we develop asthma, and wheezing is the result of the air becoming turbulent when it is expelled too quickly. Comparable like switching from a regular drinking straw to a thin cocktail straw: considerably more difficult to transport fluids. However, a number of factors, such as having narrower airways at birth or experiencing inflammation or mucus when ill, can also cause that narrowing. Kids' airways expand as they get older. This frequently helps with asthma problems.

Because red hair keeps its pigment more tightly than any other hair color, it must have its pigment taken before being colored by bleaching, which, of course, destroys the hair. Continue to wear red!
