Lancaster chooses the pragmatic path to success
By Jots du Jardin @jotsdujardin @TLE_Sport Stuart Lancaster's squad selection is an admission that he'd be happy to only reach the quarter finals in next year's World Cup. It's the type of squad he believes he'll need to beat Australia and Wales in 2015, not South Africa, New Zealand and the Wallabies this Autumn. In his press conference after announcing his squad, Lancaster was uncompromising in his message: “To be the best it’s not about the flash stuff,” he said....
The trouble with Ed Miliband
By Richard Roberts The trouble with Ed Miliband isn’t that he’s too intellectual and can’t communicate with ordinary people. It isn’t that he’s too socialist and in the pocket of the trades unions. It isn’t even that he looks like Wallace; nor that by allowing himself to be snapped eating a bacon butty, he unwittingly created the most embarrassing on-camera-moment for a Labour leader since Neil Kinnock fell over while walking on a beach with his wife. And no, it...
The Economic Implications of the Digital Skills Gap
By Jeff Fernandez, co-founder and CEO, Grovo Learning You’d think that with the advance of emerging computer, nano, mobile -- and now yes, even wearable -- technologies, individual productivity would be soaring. Instead, of the more than 200 million adults in the US digital workforce, only one in ten consider themselves ‘very proficient’ with the digital tools they use every day. And research conducted by Adobe shows the flipside of that equation: 58 per cent of employees - despite using a...
Frankie’s goes to Hollywood
Take an Italian Anglophile with a penchant for American food and set him up in a Premier League football ground and you get Frankie's Sports Bar & Diner, an American style sports bar collaboration between Marco Pierre White and Frankie Dettori. After various collaborations with Mr Pierre White – dubbed the godfather of modern cooking – Signor Dettori has re-vamped the Chelsea FC diner moving it away from being an Italian into an all-out American diner; so less chequered table...

By Charlotte Stringer, Style Editor at STYLIGHT.co.uk With one in three of us statistically likely to get cancer, it’s certain that everyone reading this article will either know, or be, someone who’s been affected by the illness.

Not so Super Mario
Sport News 24/7 By David de Winter – Sports Editor @davidjdewinter @TLE_Sport When Liverpool signed Mario Balotelli a few days before the close of the transfer window, plenty of eyebrows were raised. Not another troublemaker? How will he fit into the club’s playing style? Can he fill the sizeable shoes of Luis Suarez? At the time I was slightly puzzled as to why Brendan Rodgers had splashed the cash on the Italian. Given that without Suarez, Liverpool were always going...
Back to mid-table with a bump – Aston Villa’s rapid fall
Sport News 24/7 By Adam Clark @AdamClarkers @TLE_Sport For a brief moment at the start of this season Aston Villa soared improbably and gloriously into third place. But the Premier League is a harsh mistress, especially when you play Ciaran Clark at centre-back. 4 losses, 11 goals conceded and 0 goals scored. Like Icarus, Villa flew too close to the sun and are now paying the price. Those in claret and blue will feel a strange sense of being punished...
