'YOU'RE glowing' is what some people tell others when they look particularly happy or beautiful. But is it true that our bodies literally glow too? Verdict: TRUE It's true - you do shine, literally! Humans do glow or emit light on our own, but the light is a thousand times weaker than our eyes can see. In 2009, Japanese scientists were able to capture the first ever pictures of "glittering" human bodies or human "bioluminescence". 'Although it has been known for many years that all living creatures produce a small amount of light as a result of chemical reactions within their cells, this is the first time light produced by humans has been captured on camera,' reads an article on The Guardian news website.

Let Catriona Gray tell you a thing or two about shape-shifting. The elasticity of her career is the ultimate framework: from being a Filipino-Scottish model hailing from Australia, to Miss World Philippines 2016, to singer with a degree in Music Theory, to a black-belted Choi Kwang Do martial artist, to Miss Universe 2018, it's clear that the world-renowned beauty has the innate ability to change the trajectory of her life at will. This trajectory has led the beauty queen to where she is now: post-Miss Universe reign, a professional host, culture and youth advocate, and most recently, the face of Belo Medical Group's Thermage FLX, one of Belo's most cutting-edge treatments to lift and contour the skin.

Prime Minister Fumio Kishida was unhurt after a man threw a cylindrical object which exploded ahead of a stump speech he was due to make during his visit to western Japan on Saturday, less than a year after a former premier was fatally shot during election campaigning. Kishida immediately left by car after the incident, which took place as he was talking with a candidate of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party just before his scheduled speech at a fishing port in the city of Wakayama. According to investigative sources, Ryuji Kimura, a 24-year-old man from Hyogo Prefecture, was arrested at the scene.

The firm, which has clinched the honour for the third year in a row, recognises that flexibility and the ability to control their own schedules are important to employees and that the option for hybrid work can have a huge influence on how staff regard their employer.
