Desire to win finally gets Red Warriors over the hump

University of the East had the most a start in the UAAP Season 81 men's basketball tournament, losing its first four games to go crashing to the bottom of the standings. All those pent up frustrations were eventually released on Sunday at Mall of Asia Arena as the Red Warriors lambasted Far Eastern University in a 25-point blowout, 90-65. UE head coach Joe Silva credited his team's first win to his players' desire to finally get over the hump. "We wanted to win, we're down there in the standings and we should at least get one win before the second round," said forward Jason Varilla who had 17 points and five rebounds.

Nobel Prizes still struggle with wide gender disparity

STAVANGER, Norway --- Nobel Prizes are the most prestigious awards on the planet but the aura of this year's announcements has been dulled by questions over why so few women have entered the pantheon, particularly in the sciences.

Being kind really does give us a warm glow inside, says psychologists

New United Kingdom research has found that the warm glow we feel after helping others is real, with brain scans showing that the reward center in the brain is activated after an act of kindness. Carried out by psychologists at the University of Sussex and published in the journalNeuroImage, the new meta-analysis included 36 existing studies with a total of 1150 participants who had undergone brain functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scans while making kind decisions. The researchers analyzed for the first time what happens in the brain when people are kind because of genuine altruism, which is when there's nothing for them to gain from it; and when they act w...

Have a knack for naming animals? A Japanese zoo is inviting the public to name its newest family member, a baby giant panda that recently made her public debut this month.

Macedonians vote on new country name, future with West

SKOPJE, Macedonia --- Macedonians were deciding on their country's future Sunday, voting whether to accept a landmark deal ending a decades-long dispute with neighboring Greece by changing their country's name to North Macedonia. The June deal would pave the way for NATO and possibly European Union membership, ending a dispute dating from the early 1990s when Macedonia declared independence from Yugoslavia. Greece had argued that name implied territorial ambitions on its own province of the same name, and blocked the country's efforts to join NATO.
