Here’s what some of the great economists of history…

Brighton and Hove Council electoral services staff have distributed 1,060 voting packs to people in the South Portslade ward ahead of the by-election on January 11. But the returning officer said there will not be offering a “collection service” and told people to return the votes by post, despite the city council admitting it doubts the Royal Mail’s reliability, or hand them in at a polling station, even though many people choose to vote by post as they cannot attend in person.

Light in the evening is thought to be bad for sleep. However, does the color of the light play a role? Researchers from the University of Basel and the Technical University of Munich (TUM) compared the influence of different light colors on the human body. The researchers’ findings contradict the results of a previous study in mice. Vision is a complex process. The visual perception of the environment is created by a combination of different wavelengths of light, which are decoded as colours and brightness in the brain. Photoreceptors in the retina first convert the light into electrical impulses: with…
