The departure was not a retirement from the sport but a shift in focus from fighting within the Octagon to training other young aspiring fighters—basically, a more concentrated career in coaching. On May 17, 2025, the 48-year-old fighter showcased his ability to dominate the ring with a knockout win against Fabio Tadalafellas in an exhibition boxing match at Fight Music Show 6 . Antonio Rogerio Nogueira makes an impressive comeback in the world of combat sports with a 2-0 exhibition boxing record This is not the first time Antonio Rogerio Nogueira stepped within a ring after his departure from the UFC. His first exhibition match was against Leonardo Guimarães in 2022, where Antonio won the bout by a unanimous decision. Despite the age, the fighter has left a remarkable mark on the world of combat sports. His recent boxing wins are a prominent example of the saying, 'Age is just a number.' On May 17, the fighter shared the co-main event card with Fabio Tadalafellas. Headlined by the boxing match between Acelino Freitas and Duda Nagle, the evening featured some of the most interesting boxing match-ups, including the one between Nogueira and Fabio. Both Nogueira and Fabio started off the rounds on a slower note, with Minotouro picking up the pace in the second round and dominating the bout from there on. Even though the matchup was of 5 rounds, the Brazilian fighter Fabio was knocked out cold in the second round itself. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Until now, Nogueira has shown quite the zeal in the world of boxing taking his record to an undefeated 2-0.

Scientists Tried to Kill Spacecraft But It Was So Tough That It Refused to Die
While it was getting ready to power down its Gaia spacecraft, the European Space Agency encountered some unusual resistance. The spacecraft, which has been creating a highly detailed three-dimensional map of more than a billion stars throughout the Milky Way and beyond, proved surprisingly difficult to kill. "Switching off a spacecraft at the end of its mission sounds like a simple enough job," said Gaia spacecraft operator Tiago Nogueira in an ESA statement. "But spacecraft really don't want to be switched off." That's Gaia's creators made it incredibly resilient to its hostile environment. "Gaia was designed to withstand failures such as radiation storms, micrometeorite impacts or a loss of communication with Earth," Nogueira explained. "It has multiple redundant systems that ensured it could always reboot and resume operations in the event of disruption." As a result, the team had to "design a decommissioning strategy that involved systematically picking apart and disabling the layers of redundancy" since scientists didn't "want it to reactivate in the future and begin transmitting again if its solar panels find sunlight." The space observatory was launched in 2013 to create the largest space catalog in history. But after over a decade, it reached its predetermined retirement age earlier this month. In one last bout of activity last week, Gaia's thrusters maneuvered it away from Lagrange point 2, a point roughly one million miles from Earth where the gravitational pull of both the Sun and Earth combine to have the same year-long orbital period as our planet. Instead, it moved into a stable retirement orbit around the Sun to ensure that it would never come anywhere near the Earth for at least the next 100 years, according to the ESA. As part of its retirement plan, scientists deactivated its instruments and subsystems one at a time. The team then "deliberately corrupted" its onboard software to make sure it "will never restart again once we have switched off the spacecraft," as spacecraft operations engineer Julia Fortuno explained. Gaia has helped astronomers create an enormous map of the stars and even moons and exoplanets, some of which the agency is hoping to explore further with its upcoming Plato mission. The treasure trove of data will allow scientists to get a better sense of where the Solar System is located within the galactic disc. Previous Gaia observations have found that the system is moving toward the galactic center at an accelerating pace. "I have mixed feelings between the excitement for these important end-of-life operations and the sadness of saying goodbye to a spacecraft I have worked on for more than five years," Fortuno said. "I am very happy to have been part of this incredible mission." More on Gaia: Europe's Gaia Telescope Spots Hundreds of Hidden, Lurking Moons

Seychelles and Brazil to look into widening areas of bilateral cooperation
The Ambassador of the Federative Republic of Brazil to the Republic of Seychelles, H.E. Mr. Gustavo Martins Nogueira met with the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Tourism, Mr. Sylvestre Radegonde at Maison Queau de Quinssy on Thursday 20th March 2025. The meeting began with Ambassador Nogueira presenting the Brazilian government's condolences on the passing of Mr Robert Morgan in February 2024. Ambassador Nogueira fondly recounted Mr Morgan's dedication towards his duty as Honorary Consul of the Federative Republic of Brazil in Seychelles. They also discussed pending bilateral agreements between the two countries. One of them being the Technical Cooperation Agreement which would allow Seychelles and Brazil to benefit from each other's expertise in various fields. Ambassador Nogueira also took the opportunity to thank the Government of Seychelles for lifting the restrictions on the importation of poultry from Brazil following the outbreak of a disease in a poultry facility in the state of Rio Grande do Sul in July 2024. The restrictions were lifted in January 2025 after the Government of Seychelles received assurances that all necessary protocols were implemented and the disease had been dealt with accordingly. On his side, Minister Radegonde gave Ambassador Nogueira assurances that the finalization of the bilateral agreements would be completed to speed up collaboration and to enhance bilateral ties between the two countries. The meeting ended with Ambassador Nogueira sharing his hopes of welcoming a delegation from the Seychelles to participate in the COP 30 which is set to take place in Belem, Brazil in November this year.

Wildfires are complicating cancer care: Study
Wildfires and other climate-induced weather extremes are posing an increased threat to cancer patients by shifting their treatment trajectories and access to care, a new study has determined. Patients recovering from lung cancer surgery within an active wildfire zone required longer hospital stays than those in areas that had no such blazes, scientists reported in the study, published on Wednesday in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. These lengthier stays could be due to the reluctance of health care providers to discharge patients to a hazardous environment, housing instability or safety issues — or due to the unavailability of routine post-op care, staff shortages or shuttered rehab centers, according to the study. 'There are currently no guidelines for protecting the health and safety of patients recovering from lung cancer surgery during wildfires in the United States,' lead author Leticia Nogueira, scientific director of health services research at the American Cancer Society, said in a statement. 'In the absence of guidelines, clinicians might resort to improvisational strategies,' Nogueira added, noting that doing so serves to 'better protect the health and safety of patients during wildfires.' The complex nature of post-operative recovery from lung cancer procedures coupled with wildfire disasters pose considerable threats to patient health, beyond exposure to smoke, the authors stressed. For example, they pointed to factors like water and soil contamination, evacuation orders while handling mobility and cognitive challenges, disruptions in pharmacy and grocery hours and changes in transportation accessibility. Nogueira and her colleagues studied data available via the National Cancer Database for individuals 18 years or older who received a lobectomy or pneumonectomy for stages 1 to 3 lung cancer between 2004 and 2021. They then evaluated differences between the length of stay for wildfire-exposed patients — those hospitalized in a Presidential Disaster Declaration area between the dates of surgery and discharge — and unexposed patients treated at the same facility during a non-disaster period. The results revealed that patients exposed to a wildfire disaster had hospital stays that were on average two days longer: 9.4 days in comparison to 7.5 days. That two-day difference, which applied to patients across all stages of cancer, could take a toll on U.S. health care systems, as hospital stays nationwide cost about $1,500 per day, according to the study. As climate change continues to intensify and extend wildfire season, the researchers urged health care institutions to adapt and improve their clinical and disaster preparedness strategies for specific patient populations. These tactics, the authors continued, must also account for environmental influences. 'This study is just the tip of the iceberg showing how extreme weather may be impacting patients with chronic illnesses,' senior author Amruta Nori-Sarma, deputy director of the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health's Center for Climate Health and the Global Environment, said in a statement. 'As the wildfire season gets longer and more intense, and wildfires start affecting broader swathes of the U.S. population, health care providers need to be ready with updated guidance that best protects their patients' health,' Nori-Sarma added.
