WASHINGTON, Sept. 5, 2023 -- Traveling to faraway places is a great way to seek out new experiences, but jet lag can be an unpleasant side effect. Adjusting to a new time zone is often accompanied by fatigue, difficulty sleeping, and a host of other problems that can turn an otherwise exciting adventure into a miserable trip. Jet lag is caused by a difference between the circadian system — the body's internal clock — and the surrounding environment. Around the turn of the century, scientists began to recognize that the body has multiple internal clocks, calibrated in different ways, and that jet lag-like symptoms can result when these clocks drift out of sync with each other.

Cambodians went to the polls on 23 July, amid shrinking civic and political space, including a ban on the main opposition party, media restrictions and harassment of perceived opponents of the ruling elite, UN Human Rights Council -appointed independent experts said.

The experts, including Vitit Muntarbhorn, Special Rapporteur on human rights in the country , warned that the shrinking democratic space and repressive practices linked to Cambodia's political leadership seriously undermined human rights and liberal democracy under its international obligations and the Paris Peace Agreements .

MANILA  -The partial award of government securities on offer continued this week as the auction committee led by the Bureau of the Treasury raised only P26.6 billion out of the planned P30 billion. With four years and seven months left until maturity of the Treasury bonds, the committee moved to cap the average rate at 6.337 percent. This was 8.7 basis points higher than the coupon rate of 6.25 percent that was set when the T-bonds were originally issued in March 2019. Had the committee decided for a full award, the average rate would have jumped by 53.
