Still to this day, this psychological condition is most often referred to by its previous name: multiple personality disorder. That’s in particular down to exaggerated representations in popular culture like books, TV or cinema. Some prominent examples are the story of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho or, more recently, Split.Experts have criticised the use of DID as a plot device in such representations, saying they often confuse it with other disorders like psychosis or schizophrenia. They also perpetuate certain myths about people with mental illnesses. These include the idea that they are usually dangerous or have flamboyant personalities. So what is DID really like then? Doesn’t that happen to everyone? Where does it come from?

It is a bit of a stereotype that the Brits love to moan, with the weather and Brexit being among the most common causes of grumbling around the country. It might not always be pleasant around someone who’s complaining, but there is something deeply authentic about it. What’s more, moaning can provide a form of relief and allow people to express their dissatisfaction, frustration or bad mood. That’s right; venting allows you to release pent-up emotions, which may relate to something that’s been bothering you for a while.Sometimes it just feels good to vent, doesn’t it? What other kinds of moaning are there? Are there any tips that can help us?

While it’s not a scientifically recognised food category, the term “superfoods” has become common when referring to certain foods that are very rich in nutrients and micronutrients. You may have heard about the disease-preventing wonders of seeds and algae for example, or weight loss benefits associated with fruits such as goji berries, spirulina, and pomegranates. Let’s investigate whether all the hype is actually justified! Back in February 2019, health and fitness writer K. Aleisha Fetters penned an article for Vice.com under the headline “There’s No Such Thing As A Superfood.” Fetters said that superfoods are in reality “something between wishful thinking and really effective marketing.”Is there any doubt as to whether they’re good for you? So, superfoods are actually useless then, are they? Can you give me any examples?

Dubbed Britain's 'most dangerous prisoner' Charles Bronson, who now goes by Charles Salvador, is currently at HMP Woodhill in Milton Keynes, and has been in prison for much of the last 50 years. However, now at the age of 70,  he went before the parole board on the 8th of March and could finally be released. Bronson was first convicted in 1974 when he was 21 and was jailed for seven years for robbery, aggravated burglary, assault with intent to rob and possession of a firearm. However it is the violence in prison towards staff and other inmates, rather than outside that has extended his stay. How did his prison career begin? What happened at his parole hearing? When will the decision be made?

Neobanks are 100% digital. They run exclusively through mobile apps, with no brick-and-mortar premises. They offer customers a user-first design, and promise low cost banking operations.

You may have heard of the SanFrancisco based neobank Chime, which is the leader in the US at the moment. But brands like N26, Revolut and Monzo are also bringing over their expertise from Europe, where the online-only trend is further ahead.

It’s been just over three years since Brexit came into effect and the latest YouGov poll from late February 2023 suggests that 53% of Brits now think it was wrong for the UK to leave the EU.The infamous 2016 Brexit referendum exposed deep divisions within British society, which have only deepened since. Three prime ministers have come and gone since, and current PM Rishi Sunak is facing an unprecedented crisis, with the UK seemingly on the brink of economic and social implosion. Now Brexit is of course a portmanteau term in itself, which has led people to create other neologisms around the subject, including “Bregret”, a combination of Brexit and “regret”. What does the population think of Brexit in 2023? What are the economic consequences of Brexit so far? How can the United Kingdom get back on track?

Binge eating, also known as uncontrollable overeating, is an eating disorder. It is characterized by compulsive and excessive consumption of food within a specific period, usually not exceeding two hours, and a loss of control over eating behavior. This means that a person can’t measure the amounts or types of food they are consuming, and may eat quickly without feeling full. This loss of control often leads to feelings of shame or disgust after a binge-eating episode. UK charity Action Mental Health says that 1 in 50 people experience binge eating disorder and the consequences are tragic. Of those affected, one in three consider taking their own life, and 70% avoid participating in activities due to their body image.Is it similar to bulimia then? What causes binge eating disorder?

According to Dr Yasemin Didem Aktas, deputy academic director of the UK Centre for Moisture in Buildings (UKCMB), “Mould is everywhere, all the time,” this is because the UK is a pretty wet country and so some level of mould, particularly in damp places like bathrooms or windows is to be expected. However it is how we manage the mould and prevent it building up into dangerous levels that is important. If you notice patches of mould on walls or ceilings then it's time to do something to stop spores spreading in the air.When is there too much? Why is mould bad for your health?
