When football becomes MMA
Nuremberg, June 25, 2006. Portugal and the Netherlands were facing each other for the first time in the final phase of a World Cup, in a game counting for the round of 16. For many, at first glance, it would be a normal game, like Portugal x Holland in the semi-finals of Euro 2004, at the Alvalade Stadium, in which the Portuguese had won by two balls to one with a superb goal from Maniche.

Celebrating Impact: Paul Stephenson
November 2018 was a red letter month for me. To my surprise, I was being given a lifetime achievement award for my work by Diversity UK, but it seemed that I had to work for that honour by presenting a lecture to celebrate a remarkable activist for race relations, and I could hardly believe whom I was celebrating: it was Paul Stephenson, the man who had fearlessly challenged, and ultimately changed, a segregated employment policy in Bristol. I couldn't have felt more humbled and honoured to contribute to such an occasion, never mind my own achievement. It all seemed so surreal.

Process food addiction is a concern for health.. Content Warning.
A recent study published in the British Medical Journal reveals that your favorite guilty pleasure snack may be just as addictive as cigarettes or heroin. The study, which examined 281 studies conducted in 36 countries, suggests that the irresistible nature of ice cream, chips, and candy may be less about your self-control and more about the addictive properties of ultra-processed foods (UPFs).

Blood-sucking biter, the sand fly
Sand flies, those minuscule tan flies that are approximately one-fourth the size of a mosquito, predominantly inhabit warm regions, particularly rural and forested areas. It is worth noting that in certain parts of the globe, these inconspicuous creatures serve as vectors, transmitting an infectious disease referred to as leishmaniasis, caused by a single-celled parasite. Characteristically active during nighttime, their diminutive size grants them the ability to permeate even the smallest apertures of ordinary mosquito nets on tents or window screens. Given their potential ability to transmit diseases, it is crucial to remain vigilant and take necessary precautions when residing or sojourning in sand fly-infested regions.

Unraveling the Role of Dopamine
The Dopamine Molecule Dopamine is a chemical messenger, or neurotransmitter, that helps transmit signals in the brain and other areas of the body. It belongs to a class of molecules known as catecholamines, which are derived from the amino acid tyrosine. Dopamine is synthesized in various regions of the brain, including the substantia nigra and the ventral tegmental area (VTA). From these regions, it is released into the synaptic cleft, where it interacts with receptor sites on neighboring neurons.

Laughs and Labyrinths
