London’s first community fridge has been launched giving local businesses and residents a place they can leave spare, edible food for those who need it.

But put your 21st century goggles on and...

The representation of motherhood in cinema has through the years varied from the sublime to the sometimes ridiculous.

Today is National Pizza Day, and what better way to celebrate it than to take a look at how far vegan pizza has come these last few years? From something we vegans would have to sadly make at home on pitta breads (or shyly ask for without the dairy) to being widely available nationwide, vegan pizza is on the up and up. Two and a half years ago only one national chain, Pizza Express, provided vegan pizza on the menu:...

Art marketplace Artfinder today publishes a report drawing attention to the differences in representation between the high-end art world and its own marketplace, where the gender balance of artists is almost equal. In the high end art world, just 1 of the top 100 lots sold at auction in 2015 was by a woman, and none of the top ten richest living artists are women. By contrast, women on Artfinder sell nearly 40% more art, they sell their work 16%...

Opening Notes The Momentums are available in a variety of hardware compatibility options (I am testing a set configured for Samsung Galaxy devices), most likely to pair up with the inline three-button remote (volume, pause and built-in mic). All music audio tests were carried out using Spotify for mobile and desktop. Sound Quality As expected from the Momentum range the bass performance on the in-ear model is powerful. Out of the box it’s clear that balance and clarity took precedence...
