What is Rufus the Hawks job at Wimbledon?
4 juli 2023 · 4 min
Rufus the hawk is the official bird scarer of Wimbledon. His job is to scare away pigeons and other birds from the famous tennis tournament. Lees meer
Before hawks were used, they tried various methods to keep the birds away, such as loud noises, nets, wires, and even fake owls. But none of them worked very well. The birds would get used to them or find ways around them. They would make a mess on the courts and the stands, and sometimes even interrupt the matches. That’s why they decided to try hawks, as they are natural predators that can scare away most birds.
How did Rufus get this job ? What does Rufus do ? as Rufus encountered any problems while doing his job ? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !

Why do we get grumpy when we're hungry?
3 juli 2023 · 5 min
According to USA Today, the word “hangry” entered the Oxford English Dictionary in 2018. It’s a portmanteau term which combines the words “hungry” and “angry”. While it might sound a little silly or light-hearted, there’s evidence to suggest that getting grumpy is a pretty common reaction to feeling hungry. Lees meer
The scientific reasons aren’t completely clear. But it kind of makes sense when you consider that the hypothalamus in the brain not only regulates feelings of hunger and fullness, but is also responsible for regulating mood. Getting grumpy when hungry is also a survival reflex to some extent. After all, our ancestors were hunter-gatherers, so being hungry was literally a threat to their lives.
What exactly happens in our bodies when we're hungry ? Could that be due to hypoglycemia ? What can I do to avoid getting in a bad mood if I can't eat ? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !

Who are the "never coviders" that have scientists fascinated?
2 juli 2023 · 5 min
During the early months of the Covid-19 pandemic, many of us managed to avoid getting infected by following social distancing and hand hygiene guidelines. But the virus caught up with most people sooner or later, even those who were particularly cautious. Lees meer
And yet there are some people out there who have still never had Covid, three and a half years since it emerged. Scientists believe some of them may be naturally immune, thanks to their genetic make-up.
Is that the same as being asymptomatic ? How can we identify them ? Are we sure that there are people out there who are immune to Covid ? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !

What is tagskryt, the Scandinavian sustainable travel trend?
2 juli 2023 · 5 min
We’ve already talked about flygskam and the no-fly movement in the past. Today, let’s discuss the shift towards train travel which has come about as a result, and the pride which people take in it! In Sweden, they even came up with a name for it, which is tagskryt, and translates as “triain bragging”! Lees meer
The train has always been the preferred mode of transport for some people. Let’s face it; it’s easy to sit back comfortably, read a book, work or simply stare out of the window at the countryside sights going by. For others, switching to the train has been an enforced change of habit, brought on by realising what a negative impact flying has on the planet.
Another Scandinavian buzzword, huh! Is it really worth bragging about it on social media? Is flying really that much worse than taking the train? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !

What is Wendy Syndrome?
1 juli 2023 · 5 min
Think back to the story of Peter Pan, and more specifically the character of Wendy Darling, Peter’s friend who accompanies him to Neverland. She’s the eldest and most mature of the Darling siblings, and acts as a mother figure to Peter too. Lees meer
You could definitely describe her as caring, nurturing, responsible and self-sacrificing. Well those may sound like totally positive characteristics, but there is a flipside too. There are a lot of caring, nurturing people out there who just constantly need to satisfy others and tend to neglect themselves as a consequence.
Who coined the term “Wendy Syndrome” to describe such people ? Is it a natural inclination? Is it similar to emotional labor ? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

What is the war on wee?
30 juni 2023 · 5 min
Public urination has long been a nuisance in the United Kingdom, as it is in many other countries. But it’s really gotten worse in the last few years, and that’s down to the Covid-19 crisis in particular. British authorities decided to close public toilets for hygiene reasons. Lees meer
And that’s actually exacerbated a longer-term trend, which has seen around 50% of public toilets closed in the last decade, according to the managing director of the British Toilet Association, as quoted by The Guardian. And public toileting is actually a health problem in itself. After all, urine can erode buildings and create pollution. It’s prompted cities around the world to clamp down, in a phenomenon media outlets have playfully labelled the “war on wee”.

28 juni 2023 · 5 min
If you’ve ever had a “conversation” with Siri, Google Assistant or Alexa, you may well have been using a domotics system, without necessarily knowing what that means. The term refers to the use of robotic technology and electronic systems for controlling home appliances and devices. It’s also known as home automation, or simply a “smart home”. Lees meer
And indeed the use of smart home devices has really taken off in the last decade or so. Devices like smart thermostats, security systems, intelligent lights and smart appliances have become more and more common. According to data shared by Finbold in 2021, 24.9% of internet users in the UK said they owned smart home devices. That figure was almost double the global average.

Eating a healthy diet that includes a lot of fruits, vegetables, legumes, and fish can help you keep your brain in tip-top shape. There are plenty of brain boosting foods but here are five that you might want to start including. Lees meer
First of all, oily fish. When people talk about brain foods this is often at the top of the list. This type of fish includes salmon, trout, tuna, herring, and sardines, all of which are rich sources of omega-3 fatty acids.

How can I save on my water bill?
25 juni 2023 · 5 min
2022 marked the driest summer in nearly 30 years according to the UK government. And authorities felt the need to bring in a hosepipe ban across Kent and Sussex, which came into effect from 26th June. Lees meer
Back in April, a National Drought Group spokesperson said that Britain won’t be able to “rely on the weather alone” to sustain water levels, and that preparations were being made to reduce the drought risk. It was also suggested that households should focus on saving water to help the efforts. An additional benefit when doing so is that it could help you save money on your water bill. That’s all the more relevant when you consider that as of 1st April, the average annual water bill rose by £31 to hit £448.

Are blue eyes really more sensitive to light?
24 juni 2023 · 5 min
The idea that light-colored eyes are generally more fragile is pretty widespread. They’re less resistant to sunlight and require more protection. According to Medical News Today, it’s estimated that around 8-10% of people in the world have blue eyes. Lees meer
When our eyes are open, rays of light pass through the pupil, the black opening in the center of the iris. As you may know, the pupil dilates when it’s dark and contracts in bright light. When light rays strike the retina, they’re captured by photoreceptor cells like rod cells, which are involved in night vision and cone cells that enable color vision, among other things.
What’s the function of the iris ? Is sunlight dangerous for the eyes? Is wearing sunglasses enough to protect my eyes ? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Could slow living make me happier?
21 juni 2023 · 5 min
The societies we live in these days, and especially in cities. We sometimes feel exhausted, anxious, depressed, and lonely in this ultra-productive life. What’s more, the constant fast pace can lead to memory and concentration problems. If you’re struggling to keep up, the slow living philosophy could be for you. Lees meer
Slow Living is to do less in order to enjoy more. Instead of wanting to have multiple experiences that we only half-enjoy, slow living encourages us to simplify our lives and savour the present moment. It’s related to concepts of mindfulness and being fully present. Slow living can be interpreted in different ways, but the common thread is the idea of intentionality in what we do.

Where does Father's Day come from?
15 juni 2023 · 4 min
Father’s Day is a holiday that honours fathers and celebrates their role in society. It’s celebrated in the United Kingdom on the third Sunday of June, but it wasn’t always a national holiday. In fact, it was imported from the United States, where it started in the early 20th century. Lees meer
The idea of Father’s Day was first proposed by Sonora Smart Dodd, a woman from Spokane, Washington, who wanted to show her appreciation for her father, William Jackson Smart. He was a Civil War veteran and a widower who raised six children by himself.
Who came up with the idea of Father’s Day and why? How did Father’s Day become a national holiday in the United States? Is Father’s Day celebrated in other countries? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

14 juni 2023 · 5 min
It won’t have escaped your attention that the price of your weekly shopping basket at the supermarket has gone up significantly in the last year. Indeed, recent data from Kantar suggests that families are now spending an extra £16 per week on food shopping, due to inflation. More and more people are being plunged into food insecurity. But what can be done? Lees meer
Well, in late May 2023, UK Chancellor Jeremy Hunt warned that new rules could be brought in to force supermarkets to treat shoppers fairly. And Bank of England governor Andrew Bailey has previously said that interest rates will continue increasing if companies keep increasing food prices.

Why do we get pins and needles?
14 juni 2023 · 4 min
We all know what it feels like to get pins and needles. It usually happens when we’ve been in the same position for too long, sleeping on one of our arms for example. Bad posture when seated can make this more likely to happen. Lees meer
It’s a slightly uncomfortable feeling of numbness and tingling, as if someone was raking your skin repeatedly with small pointed objects. That’s where the name “pins and needles” comes from, which goes back to the mid-19th century, according to word-detective.com. There is a scientific term for the sensation too by the way: paresthesia.
Where does the pins and needles reaction come from? Can it be related to diseases ? When should we worry? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

How can I recognise ultra-processed foods?
11 juni 2023 · 5 min
What do chicken nuggets, margarine and instant noodles all have in common? Wel, they may look tasty, but they’re loaded with sugar, salt, fat and chemicals that strip away their nutritional value. That’s due to the heavy processing that goes into making them, which sees them completely transformed from the original raw ingredients. Lees meer
And they’re increasingly ever present on our shelves and in our stomachs. In 2022, the National Institute for Health and Care Research found that ultra-processed foods made up almost two-thirds of Britain’s school meals. Furthermore, the British Medical Journal has reported that ultra-processed foods account for 56.8% of total energy intake in the UK diet.
Can you identify them by looking at the ingredient lists on product packaging? What’s the difference between processed foods and ultra-processed foods? Why should we limit the consumption of ultra-processed products? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !

What is Karoshi, the dangerous overwork epidemic?
10 juni 2023 · 5 min
The subject we’re talking about today is most associated with Japan, but is also relevant in many other parts of the world. The Japanese word “Karoshi” means "death by overwork". In a broad sense, it refers to workers who die suddenly from a bodily failure like a stroke or heart attack due to extreme stress and long working hours. Lees meer
Let’s look into the causes and consequences of a phenomenon that affects millions of workers in Japan and beyond. Overworking in Japan actually became very common during the post WW2 economic boom, when the country rapidly rose to the status of the world's second-largest economy, after the United States.

What is the optimism bias?
7 juni 2023 · 5 min
Today we're going to talk about a cognitive bias that causes people to believe, often mistakenly, that they are less likely to experience negative events and more likely to experience positive events than others. Estimates suggest that 80% of us display what’s known as the optimism bias. Lees meer
For example, we might think that we are less likely to get sick, lose our job, or have a car accident than the average person. We might also think that we are more likely to live longer, be successful, or win the lottery than others.
Why do we have such a bias? And how does it affect our decisions and actions? What are the drawbacks of optimism bias? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !

7 juni 2023 · 4 min
As we head towards another summer, isn’t it a relief to be able to shed the layers and wear lighter clothing when out and about? Well, if you’re a woman, you might have mixed feelings about that, due to the constant threat of unwanted attention from strangers when wearing summer clothes in public. Lees meer
And a lot of the time, it goes further than just unwanted attention. A YouGov survey released in January 2020 suggested that over half of London women experience some form of sexual harassment on public transport.

Is veganism really the best choice?
6 juni 2023 · 4 min
Veganism is a lifestyle that excludes all animal products from one’s diet and other aspects of life. That means no meat, eggs or dairy but it can also include things like honey, leather, wool, silk, or anything else that comes from animals. Lees meer
People choose this lifestyle for different reasons, some for ethical reasons, others for environmental reasons, and some do it for health reasons. Some studies have found that vegan diets can improve heart health and lower risk of some cancers, such as breast, prostate, and colon cancer.
Is veganism better for your health than eating meat? Is it better for the environment? And for the animals? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !

Is it bad to hold in your pee?
5 juni 2023 · 4 min
I’m sure you can imagine a few scenarios in which you might have resisted the need to pee in the past. It may have been due to the toilets being unclean or closed. Sometimes, a little more privacy would be appreciated, especially at work, for example. Lees meer
There are a number of factors which influence the number of times we pee over the course of a day. These include age, bladder size, the weather, any medication we’re taking, what we drink and the amount we drink for example. Pregnant women also tend to pee more often. On average though, we go to the toilet between four and seven times a day.
What explains urinating very frequently or infrequently? Can holding in pee lead to a urinary tract infection? What should you do when you have difficulty holding in urine? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !

Why does looking at the sun make me sneeze?
4 juni 2023 · 5 min
We usually sneeze to protect ourselves from irritants such as pollen, dust, or chemicals. But there are some people who consistently sneeze when they look at the sun. In fact, this affects from 10 to 35% of us when we move from being in the shade to bright light, according to PBS.org. Lees meer
If it happens to you, perhaps you’ve been wondering if it’s an allergy to sunlight, but actually it isn’t. The reaction triggered by sudden exposure to light is called the photic sneeze reflex. It is a congenital physiological anomaly that’s pretty common and totally harmless.
Why does this reaction occur? What happens in the body when we sneeze? Should you suppress a sneeze? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !

2 juni 2023 · 5 min
Many of us would like to be a couple of inches taller, given all the advantages that seem to come with being tall. We feel like we might have a better love life or be perceived as more powerful for example. But there’s not really anything we can do about our height. Or is there? Lees meer
Going back to the 1940s, Soviet doctor Gavril Ilizarov realised that following a fracture, bones like the femur tend to gradually expand to fill the void left behind. He pioneered certain techniques to treat mutilated soldiers returning from World War II. And still to this day, techniques inspired by the work of Ilizarov are still being used. In most cases, this surgery is performed for reconstructive purposes, but bone lengthening is increasingly requested for cosmetic reasons.
How does limb lengthening work? Why is this surgery increasingly requested? Are there any risks to this procedure? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !

In late May 2023, Elon Musk’s neurotech startup Neuralink announced that it had received authorization from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to carry out its first in-human clinical trials. Lees meer
Neuralink's brain chips have already allowed monkeys to play video games simply by following the screen with their eyes. The hope is that the technology will allow paralysed humans to communicate by moving mouse cursors and typing using their minds. In the long run, there are hopes the technology could even treat or cure other conditions like blindness and mental illness.

Many of us have joked in the past about being allergic to work, or afraid of it, but did you know that there’s actually a real phobia of work?Have you ever felt anxious or stressed about going to work? Do you dread the thought of facing your boss, your colleagues, or your tasks? Do you avoid applying for jobs or quit them easily? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you might have ergophobia. Lees meer
It’s an extreme, irrational, and debilitating fear of working and of the features of work, such as specific tasks, social relationships, or speaking during meetings. It is considered a form of social phobia or performance anxiety, and is also recognised as a derivative of burnout, due to constantly feeling pressure or excessive expectations at work.

Where does Mother’s day come from?
31 mei 2023 · 4 min
Mother’s Day is celebrated in many countries around the world, but not always on the same date. For some it’s observed on the second Sunday of May, for others it falls on the fourth Sunday of Lent but it can also be on the first Sunday of May; the last Sunday of May or even the first Sunday in June. Lees meer
Well, that’s because Mother’s Day has different origins and meanings in different cultures and regions. The early Christian celebration of mothers was called Mothering Sunday. It became less popular in the 16th century, when England broke away from the Catholic Church but was revived in the early 20th century by a woman named Constance Smith...

If you’re like many people, you probably want to save more money but hate the idea of budgeting. Maybe you don’t like tracking every single expense or feeling restricted by spending categories. Maybe you just want a simple and flexible way to manage your money without too much hassle. Lees meer
That’s where the 80/20 method comes in. Also known as the anti-budget or the “pay yourself first” budget, it’s a simple approach to saving money that doesn’t require a lot of maths or planning. It works by dividing your take-home income into two parts: 20% for savings and 80% for spending.

The types of attachment were theorized by British psychologist John Bowlby in the 1950s. They are widely used to help us understand how we react to situations in our relationships, whether it be with romantic partners, friends or family members. Lees meer
Bowlby relied on research on the impact of early separations between infants and their mothers, and emphasized the importance of attachment relationships in the social and emotional development of children, as well as their long-term mental health.

On May 3, 2023, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 was released. It has received positive reviews from critics and has grossed over $660 million worldwide, becoming the third-highest-grossing film of 2023. Lees meer
Marvel has long been one of the most prominent and iconic publishers in the world of American comics. From the turn of the century onwards, its cinematic adaptations breathed new life into the franchise. It started out with the somewhat timid X-men film in the year 2000, but really took off with the launch of the shared MCU universe in 2008, when Iron Man was released. Since then, superhero films have become a genre of their own and even took over the blockbuster format. A whopping 28 MCU films have been released in cinemas in total, split across four phases. And with Ms Marvel having recently landed on Disney Plus and Thor: Love and Thunder hitting the big screen next month, the Marvel Cinematic Universe is showing no signs of slowing down.

Why are we obsessed with presenteeism?
26 mei 2023 · 4 min
The trend of workplace presenteeism has increased in recent years, especially during the COVID-19 crisis. A September 2020 report by RAND Europe suggests that presenteeism is mainly driven by stress, suboptimal mental health, lack of sleep and poor financial well-being, which have all intensified during the pandemic. Lees meer
Presenteeism is the practice of being present at one's place of work for more hours than is required, especially as a manifestation of insecurity about one's job. It can also refer to the practice of coming to work despite illness, injury or anxiety, which often results in reduced productivity.
How does presenteeism manifest itself? And what are the causes? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !

Then, you take the money you were paying on that debt and apply it to the next smallest debt, and so on until you’re debt-free. This way, you create a snowball effect that builds momentum and motivation as you see your debts disappear one by one.
