Word on the Street



"My painting depicts a piece of cardboard with a cry for help scrawled upon it, drawing attention to the urgency that any kind of help is needed. However the help may come. Whatever that help may be. From whoever is willing to help."

Night owls’ cognitive function ‘superior’ to early risers, study suggests

It turns out that staying up late could be good for our brain power as research suggests that people who identify as night owls could be sharper than those who go to bed early. 
Researchers led by academics at Imperial College London studied data from the UK Biobank study on more than 26,000 people who had completed intelligence, reasoning, reaction time and memory tests. They then examined how participants’ sleep duration, quality, and chronotype (which determines what time of day we feel most alert and productive) affected brain performance.
 They found that those who stay up late and those classed as “intermediate” had “superior cognitive function”, while morning larks had the lowest scores.

All You Need Is ‘Love Continuum’ by Yoni Alter


A love-ly new artwork curls through the bustling Duke of York Square in central London, thanks to Yoni Alter, who celebrates the most enigmatic and important emotion in human experience.
