Do you really know?

The feeling of hunger can be difficult to explain sometimes, especially if you feel like you've eaten as much as you usually do. As a result, we often end up either snacking or putting up with a rumbling tummy for hours on end. Even if we manage to resist snacking, the risk is that when it gets to meal time we end up eating twice as much as usual! Feelings of hunger can also lead to a drop in energy or concentration problems. A number of factors can explain not feeling full after eating. One is not getting breakfast “right”. If you skip it completely, or eat something too sweet, that could well be why you get hungry later on.What if I'm not hungry in the morning? What about at lunchtime?

According to Healthline.com, the human body has around 5 million hair follicles. Now you might not have guessed, but that figure is around the same for both men and women. And our body hair has a lot of important functions. It helps regulate body temperature by keeping us warm or retaining sweat to cool us down. It also protects sensitive parts of our bodies from infection, like the eyes and genitals. And yet, women often go to great lengths to have their body hair removed, and there’s a taboo around having hairy armpits or other body parts. It’s in no small part down to gendered social control.Is body hair removal a recent development? When did that become the case? What about pubic hair?

Today, we’re talking about a new phenomenon that affects social interactions. Phubbing is something we've all likely experienced or done ourselves at some point. The term is a portmanteau of "phone" and "snubbing", and refers to the act of looking at your phone instead of paying attention to someone else in a social situation.It’s becoming increasingly common as our reliance on our mobile devices continues to grow. The term was first introduced in 2012 by Australian advertising agency Maccann Erickson, as part of a campaign for the Macquarie Dictionary. The “A Word is Born” campaign was designed to demonstrate that language is constantly evolving and hence having an up-to-date dictionary is important.Where does the term come from? Why do people phub then? How can we avoid phubbing someone?

First there were screw top wines, then wine in boxes and now the latest alternative is wine in cans.  Although it’s still relatively niche, it's a fast growing market, making up around 10 %  of overall wine sales in the US according to the Food Science and Human Nutrition Department at the University of Florida.Glass bottles, according to a 2014 study by the Wine Institute, an industry association of California wineries, found that glass bottles accounted for 29% of the carbon footprint of wine. This however does not include the impact of transport or take into account the method used to create glass bottles in the first place which is itself very energy intensive. And, although glass is recyclable only 31% of bottles compared to 50% of aluminium cans are recycled in the US. How is wine in cans better for the environment?

On the 3rd of February 2023, Charles Michel, President of the European Council, and Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, met with Volodymyr Zelenskyy, President of Ukraine, to discuss Ukraine's European path and the accession process.The EU has a mutual defence clause, which guarantees protection for any member state coming under attack on its own territory. Since the start of the war, there has been speculation over whether Russian aggression could spread elsewhere, accelerating talks about Ukraine's EU membership. The Council on Foreign Relations suggested that a period of ten to twenty years would be realistic. And that would be after the war ended, which could itself take some time, given how events have been unfolding to date.How does a contry obtain EU membership? What are the possible obstacles?

Charles Darwin once wrote that “Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge”, and real-life situations which reflect that are all too common. To cite just one prominent example, in January 1995, American men MacArthur Wheeler and Clifton Earl Johnson were arrested after carrying out coordinated bank robberies in the state of Pennsylvania.Incredibly, they didn’t bother wearing masks, as they believed that rubbing lemon juice on their faces would make them invisible to security cameras. Actually no, but bear with me; I’m getting there. The case got a lot of media coverage, and piqued the curiosity of social psychologists David Dunning and Justin Kruger at Cornell University. They wanted to know how on earth someone could be so damn sure of themselves while believing something completely stupid.Where does this effect come from? Is that what the Dunning and Kruger effect is then? What are the consequences of the Dunning Kruger effect?

Do you remember how as a kid, it would always seem like an eternity waiting for Christmas or your birthday to come around? But having reached adulthood, it seems like the years just fly by. It’s a funny thing, but as we get older, time simply seems to go by quicker. Of course in reality the passage of time doesn’t change at all. But it’s been established that our perception of time passing is altered as we age. In recent years, American mechanical engineering professor Adrian Bejan came up with a new theory on the subject, which was published in the European Review journal in March 2019. He suggested that as we grow older our brain’s cognitive abilities wane.What research has been done into that phenomenon? Are there any other theories out there?

Gary Chapman is the author of The Five Love Languages, a book first published in 1992 that outlines how people express and experience love. He argues that romantic miscommunications come about due to people expressing love to one another using different “languages”, and therefore struggle to understand one another. But, if you understand your own love language, you can ask for what you need and be in tune to the needs of your partner. According to Chapman, the different ways people can communicate their love is through;  acts of service, gift-giving, physical touch, quality time, and words of affirmation. What are the 5 languages? Is there any science behind love languages? How does knowing the love languages help relationships?
