                                         Demi Lovato coming to Cambodia

                                                                         

International pop star Demi Lovato is coming to Cambodia, with a free Phnom Penh concert on May 5 that is expected to draw more than 35,000 fans.
Forget selfie sticks. If you're looking for a wide-angle shot with a much longer range than any pole can give you, then ask an elephant.
That's what Christian Le Blanc discovered while travelling in Thailand. The 22-year-old from Vancouver, Canada was feeding a friendly elephant in Koh Phangan when the unexpected happened.
"I quickly ran out of bananas and the elephant swiftly reached for my GoPro camera. Luckily it was on a continuous filming setting so the whole thing was captured."
After shooting a bit of video the elephant dropped the camera but only from about a foot high, so it wasn't damaged on being returned to its owner. "OMG this looks like the perfect selfie" was Le Blanc's first thought, and as soon as he could he shared the images on his Instagram and Facebook accounts. The photo has since been liked thousands of times.

But the big question is, was it the world's first elephant selfie or "elphie" as it's been dubbed? In a word, no. Last year an elephant took a selfie at a safari park in Worcestershire in the UK after a visitor dropped his phone. It's believed the elephant mistook the phone for food. So the common thread for elphies? A love for a bit of grub!

Green leafy vegetables

cheeseburger when stressed, butgo green at lunch instead. "Green leafy vegetables like spinach contain folate, which produces dopamine, a pleasure-inducing brain chemical, helping you keep calm," says Heather Mangieri, RDN, a spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. A 2012 study in the Journal of Affective Disorders of 2,800 middle-aged and elderly people and found those who consumed the most folate had a lower risk of depression symptoms than those who took in the least. And, a 2013 study from the University of Otago found that college students tended to feel calmer, happier, and more energetic on days they ate more fruits and veggies. It can be hard to tell which came first—upbeat thoughts or healthy eating—but the researchers found that healthy eating seemed to predict a positive mood the next day.
