A quarter of UK graduates can expect to be financially worse off after going to university, especially those who take creative or performing arts degrees
Interesting article in the Guardian today reporting estimates by the Institute of Fiscal Studies.The key message is that a degree continues to be a major financial boost for most graduates but around a quarter of graduates – and 40% of men with low prior attainment – end up worse off than they otherwise would have been. In short, you really need to check out degree programme stats carefully before taking the plunge.

Why are there fireworks tonight? Are people celebrating the tenth anniversary of Brexit referendum or is it something else?
Had a quick look at other significant events that took place on 23 June. Frankly, I can't see many people here celebrating Miguel I's seizure of the throne in Portugal back in 1828 or the creation of the US Coast Guard Reserve in 1939.

TIL about wet-bulb events - when it’s so hot and humid that your body can’t cool by sweating. A wet cloth on a thermometer bulb normally cools it more than one without a cloth. But when humidity is very high, the wet- and dry-bulb temperatures are the same. This can ultimately be a lethal event.

This rat in 'Legends' deserves a BAFTA for timing
The attention to detail in the British crime drama 'Legends' is astonishing. For example, around 22 minutes into Episode 4 they've arranged for a rat to scurry from right to left immediately after one of the drug smugglers slams a payphone down at Liverpool docks.
