  Teenagers need around eight to ten hours of sleep but get much less during their workweek. A recent study found that when the starting time of high school is delayed by an hour, the percentage of students who get at least eight hours of sleep per night jumps from 35.7 percent to 50 percent. Adolescent students’ attendance rate, their performance, their motivation, even their eating habits all improve significantly in school times are delayed.

  Our first Independently written piece via our KickTable event. 

  Billed as a coffee cupping class with Dunne Frankowski, they promised  to cover palette calibration, taste deconstruction, coffee origins, varietals and processing methods to give a unique experience of what coffee can be. I was pretty revved up about this as I love coffee and was keen to learn more. Given that this was taking place in the evening after my usual full day of espresso abuse, I expected to be even more revved up when I left!

   ”I strongly recommend this class to anyone wanting to know more – not just about coffee but also how to appreciate the flavour of life.”

  I adore the new app Picle, which captures the sounds occurring at the moment a picture is taken — like a truly preserved memory. It’s simple, yet remarkable.

  We are our stories. We compress years of experience, view and emotion into a few compact narratives that we convey to others and tell to ourselves. That has always been true. But personal narrative has become more prevalent, and perhaps more urgent, in a time of abundance, when many of us are freer to study a deeper understanding of ourselves and our purpose.

  Just try to recall the last couple of Nike commercials you saw on television. Don’t be surprised when you can’t. Nike’s spending on TV and print advertising in the U.S. has dropped by 40% in just three years, even as its total marketing budget has steadily climbed upward to hit a record $2.4 billion last year.
