Peihua Jiang who is another researcher from
Monell added, “We are a bit surprised. However, given the anecdotal
evidence that they like apple, sweet potato and so on in captivity, we are not
completely surprised,”
Experiments were undergone by the
researchers
to test this theory out. The
pandas were given two
bowls of liquid. One of it
was filled with plain water and the other was filled with mixed sugar
solutions. The experiment showed that the pandas emptied the bowls that were
filled with mixed solutions.

Bears in Lake Mary, Florida, United States are not afraid of
humans anymore. Terri Frana, a 44-year old woman got her back of her head and
face bitten by a wild bear. According to Greg Workman of the Florida Fish and Wildlife
Conservation Commission, she had to undergo surgery to get stitches and
staples. 5 wild bears were shot by wildlife officers. Terri’s suburban home area is now invaded with bears. Police had advised
residences to not go out at night.In December, bear attacks started to rise. Susan
Chalfant; a 54-year old woman who lives nearby Longwood got attacked by a wild
bear while walking her dog. Neighbours found her bleeding non-stop at the
driveways.
“The fact that we have come
across so many bears with so little fear of humans indicates that these bears
are highly habituated and are regularly receiving food from people,” said Dave
Telesco, the FWC’s bear program coordinator.“Our
staff is dedicated to wildlife conservation. Having to put down these bears is
a very difficult decision, but it’s the right decision to ensure public safety.
Unfortunately, the saying is true: A fed bear is a dead bear.” – Reuters

#21 Japanese Beauty Secrets
Do you realise that
Japanese women and men mostly have radiant skin? and you're probably wondering
how they maintain it. Japanese people are loyal people, especially towards
their country. They use the Japanese skin product called 'Shiseido'. Japanese
people tend to put their skin as a priority and take careful care of it.
A skin care technique that
Japanese people practice.
'Cleansing', we're not
supposed to just wash our faces with water. We're supposed to cleanse our face.
Washing and cleansing are two different things. Washing the face would just
make it dry if it’s oily. We must cleanse because cleansing keeps the face
clean and gets rid of dirt. It also acts as a moisturizer.

Researchers have found that when a person is facing failure, they turn to video games. People who are under distress of failure will turn aggressive and have no control over what they are doing.

"Any player who has thrown down a remote control after losing an electronic game can relate to the intense feelings or anger failure can cause," said lead author Andrew Przybylski
An experiment was conducted to conclude whether or not people get aggressive by just playing video games. Participants are suppose to dip their hands into a bowl of cold water and later play simple and challenging levels of a Tetris game. They were given a time of 10 seconds to complete the challenging level and through this experiment, researchers have found out when the participants could not complete it within the time limit, they were frustrated of the fact they could not do it. This led the participants to throw a tantrum and become aggressive.

Everyone always wants to live the life of an athlete. I mean, who doesn't? Living healthy is always the dream. The thing about athletes is they always dream big, and when they dream big, it's H.U.G.E. They always set goals and strive to achieve them.
Other than that, athletes practice small.

There are plenty of us who consume caffeine daily, but do you really know what it can do to your health? Yes, we all know that caffeine brings a lot of benefits to one self like concentration, boosting memory and also promotes a good mental health. Not everyone gets the same effect out of consuming caffeine. Every individual is different.

Women taking birth control pills metabolize it at perhaps one-third the rate that women not on the Pill do. Asians may do so more slowly than people of other races."
Caffeine has it's side effects too. For instance, if someone consumes excess amounts of caffeine, it can trigger a persons heart rate to be faster, anxiety and insomnia. Stopping immediately from drinking caffeine may cause irritability and mild headaches.

#16 Foods that sound healthy but isn't.
Have you ever been to the supermarkets and pick out a carton of fresh full cream milk ? But thought otherwise that you should get the low-fat milk instead. Well almost everybody has thought that but little do they know, you should just really pick the fresh milk instead of the low-fat. They aren't any least different from each other.

These are some foods that sound healthy but aren't.
1. Frozen Yogurt a.k.a 'Froyo'
The love of frozen yogurt is now spreading because it's the best substitute for ice-cream. But do you know that Froyo is actually almost the same. With all of the m&m's and cookies as toppings, it will sure do us harm if we eat regularly.
2. Prego Pasta Sauce
We all need sauces on our pasta and Prego Pasta Sauce is the first we'll pick up in our local supermarket. Even if the pasta sauce comes with small servings of chopped vegetables and crushed tomato sauce which can protect us from heart diseases, but it really is not so good for our health. Pasta Sauce contains so much sugar, high fructose corn syrup, sodium and fillers. To make pasta sauce last longer, they also contain ascorbic acid. Imagine glazing all of that on your pasta!
3. Diet Soft Drinks
Even if they claim to have said that diet soft drinks are calorie-free but do you really believe that people do lose weight by adding diet soft drinks to their menus? Diet Soft Drinks contain a different type of sugar which makes consumers wanting to have more of it. It causes addiction and diet soft drinks can cause toothache because of the sweetener.
