Researchers at the University of California-San Diego say they’ve made a discovery that may help doctors treat acne for good. They’ve found a specific chemical in skin cells which fights off the bacteria that causes pimples to break out. While we know hair follicles play a role in zits developing, the new study found the skin cells around these hairs appear to be even more important in causing or stopping acne. It’s a long, technical story, but the bottom line is that they may soon come up with a therapeutic treatment for acne that has fewer or no side effects compared to current treatments, which can cause fetal abnormalities among pregnant women.
6% of people say they NEVER tip.

A
British Columbia woman is spending $44,000 (Cdn) to clone her cat so
he can live “forever”. When Kris Stewart’s beloved cat, Bear,
was struck and killed by a car, she was heartbroken. Despite her
grief, the Kelowna resident quickly began making arrangements to have
Bear cloned. She had to store Bear’s body at the right temperature
while frantically searching for a vet who knew how to perform a
biopsy to collect his cells. Once that was done, she shipped them
overnight to Viagen Pets in the US. The company likens the process to
in-vitro fertilization through a surrogate, calling a cloned pet
“essentially an identical twin that is born at a different
time”.

The final episodes of “Ozark” are fast approaching. Netflix has announced that “Ozark Season 4 — Part 2” will debut on April 29. The streamer also released the first teaser for the second half of the season. Showrunner Chris Mundy spoke in January about the decision to split the final season in half, explaining that he and his team were trying to decide whether the show would end with Season 4 or Season 5. Quote: “Then Netflix hit upon the idea of saying, ‘We’ll [end with Season 4] but we’ll make it long. We’ll split it in this way’. That felt perfect.” LINK: https://tinyurl.com/3n3bf496

It’s
been 3 years in the making, but the world’s largest cruise ship is
finally ready to sail, or rather, cruise. Measuring a staggering
1,188 feet (362m), Royal Caribbean’s ‘Wonder of the Seas’ will
begin its maiden voyage from Fort Lauderdale FL to the Caribbean on
March 4. To give you an idea of its size, the 18-deck cruise ship has
room for 7,000 guests and 2,300 crew members. Wonder of the Seas
consists of 8 ‘neighborhoods’, one of which contains over 20,000
real plants, and its on-board features include a 10-storey zip line,
the world’s “tallest slide at sea,” and a huge poolside movie
screen. The 236,857-ton vessel was built in France, and was
originally scheduled for delivery in 2021, but was pushed back due to
delays related to the pandemic.
Twitter is expanding its crackdown on trolling and hate. The social media site is set to expand its “Safety Mode” feature, which lets users temporarily block accounts that send harmful or abusive tweets. Safety Mode will flag accounts using hateful remarks, and users who bombard people with uninvited comments, and block them for 7 days. Half of Twitter’s users in the UK, US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Ireland will now have access. Those users will also be able to use a companion feature called “Proactive Safety Mode”, which aims to proactively identify malicious replies and ask users to consider enabling the mode. Safety Mode can be turned on in settings for those who have access to it. Twitter has struggled to deal with abuse and harassment on its platform and now faces closer scrutiny from regulators.

23 of the luckiest places in the world. (first 11 today.... last 12 tomorrow)
Hoover
Dam (Nevada)
If
you’re looking to see an American man-made marvel and get a little
luck while doing so, head to the Nevada side of the Hoover Dam. At
the monument of the dam’s dedication, there are a pair of
30-foot-tall bronze Art Deco statues known as the Winged Figures of
the Republic. The figures’ feet have been rubbed shiny and smooth
by countless visitors touching their toes for good luck.
Blarney
Stone (Blarney, Ireland)
Located
at Blarney Castle, the world-famous Blarney stone is known for its
ability to bestow the gift of gab to those who kiss it — “blarney”
means skillful flattery or nonsense. The stone is set into a castle
wall and visitors must lean backward while holding on to an iron
railing to be able to give it a peck.
Intihuatana
Stone (Machu Picchu, Peru)
The
Intihuatana Stone is a ritual stone located at the renowned
archaeological site Machu Picchu in Peru. Visitors used to press
their foreheads onto the stone, believing that would grant them
visions of the spirit world. However, now the stone is roped off and
tourists are not allowed to touch it.
Hagia
Sophia (Istanbul, Turkey)
The
Hagia Sophia is a 6th-century place of worship turned museum in
Istanbul, Turkey, that is considered one of the world’s great
monuments. Along with taking in its beautiful art and architecture,
visitors can also test their luck at the famous wishing column, also
known as the weeping column. If you stick your thumb into a small
hole in the copper facing of the column and it comes out wet, you
will be cured of all ailments.
Trevi
Fountain (Rome, Italy)
Perhaps
the most famous lucky fountain in the world is the majestic marble
Trevi Fountain in Rome, Italy. Visitors fling a coin over their backs
into the fountain to guarantee that they will return to Rome and find
love. More than $1 million in coins is collected from the fountain
every year and donated to a local charity.
Money
Tree (Cornwall, England)
4
Money doesn’t grow on trees, but it sure looks like it does at St.
Nectan's Glen in Cornwall, England. Along with supposedly being home
to pixies and fairies, this serene, spiritual spot also has a tree
whose trunk has been jammed full of coins by people hoping for good
luck and financial prosperity.
Casa
di Giulietta (Verona, Italy)
Casa
di Giulietta, or the House of Juliet, in Verona, Italy, is a historic
home once owned by the Cappello family. Their name sounding close to
the name of the Capulets from Shakespeare’s fictional classic
“Romeo and Juliet” led to it being considered the house of the
tragic heroine. The home features a balcony and a bronze statue of
Juliet in the courtyard below. Visitors, especially those who are
unlucky in love, rub the statue’s right breast for good luck.
Abraham
Lincoln’s Tomb (Springfield, Illinois)
The
quest for good fortune “nose” no bounds at Lincoln’s Tomb in
Springfield, Illinois. Millions of people have rubbed the massive
nose on a bronze bust of Abraham Lincoln for luck over the years, so
much so that holes have been worn through it, which have been
repaired by a metalsmith.
Gentleman
from Paris (Havana, Cuba)
Locals
and tourists looking for a little luck in colonial Havana head to a
life-size bronze statue known as the Gentleman from Paris. Touching
his finger is meant to bring prosperity, while stroking his beard
will guarantee that you’ll return to Havana one day. Eager
luck-seekers have rubbed the patina off in these spots, leaving his
finger and beard a shiny gold.
Goose
Girl (Göttingen, Germany)
Göttingen,
Germany, is known for the Gänseliesel, or Goose Girl, a statue
located atop an old well in front of the Old Town Hall.
Just-graduated doctoral students from the nearby University of
Göttingen will come decorate her with flowers and kiss her on the
cheek for good luck after receiving their degree.
Point
Zero (Paris, France)
Point
Zéro des Routes de France is the spot from which every distance from
Paris is measured. Located outside Notre Dame Cathedral, it’s
marked with a brass plaque with a compass rose. The legend goes that
if you walk over this point, your footsteps will bring you back to
Paris.
