By Oliver Ward Over the last three months, for the first time in history, Britain's renewable energy production surpassed its coal production. A monumental moment, the palpable demonstration of how far renewable energy has come in the UK and the changing attitudes towards our role as inhabitants on this planet. A view clearly not shared by the Conservative party who have announced that subsidies for renewable energy companies will be ended on the 1st of April next year. Leaving over...
By Kane Power (@ElHeavio) Among the plethora of ‘next big online music hub’ start-ups this year is a company that promises to ‘stand out from the crowd’; Stereotribes. A kind of Kickstarter/Bandcamp crossover, Stereotribes caters for artists or anyone with an even slightly music related project, providing a central site for media and integrated crowd-funding capabilities. I was invited along to the beta website launch on Friday night and I’ve got to be totally honest, my first impression was along...
Sport News 24/7 By David de Winter - Sports Editor @davidjdewinter @TLE_Sport OK, I’ll admit it: I am enjoying Chelsea’s current malaise. Whilst my own team, Liverpool, languish depressingly in mid-table it is comforting to revel in someone else’s misfortune, namely Jose Mourinho’s. The Chelsea supremo has presided over a disastrous start to the campaign with 5 defeats in 10 league matches. The previously unflappable Portuguese has seemed flustered and tetchy in recent weeks, understandable given his team’s run of...
How did a once-anonymous Londoner become a successful speaker and content entrepreneur who helps other startups succeed? By Noy Shani One day in 2012 Vincent Dignan woke up after having a dream. The then-average man, far afield from any spotlight, had a vision to start an online magazine where the writers are the stars, instead of musicians. Vincent, 29, has always had passion for music. He previously reviewed and interviewed bands for a living as a journalist for the Daily Star....
Sport News 24/7 By Sean Simara @Sean_FootyMad @TLE_Sport The 2015-16 season in the NBA is all set for big returns, big plays and the trash talking has not stopped since the Golden State Warriors were crowned champions in the summer. They were by far the best team and most enjoyable to watch, winning the championship in style, but a few players and some pundits have come out said that there was a lot of luck involved. Injuries swept through the...
By Jonathan Hatchman, Food Editor, @TLE_Food With the grand re-opening of The Fat Duck, statistically one of the globe’s finest restaurants, there’s a great deal of excitement within the West Berkshire village of Bray at the moment. In fact, there’s such a great deal of hype that the taxi driver who picks us up from Maidenhead train station automatically assumes that we need a lift to Heston Blumenthal’s pride and joy. He even seems quite disappointed that we’ve actually come...
By Nathan Lee, TLE Correspondent Researchers at the University of Exeter have revealed that females have more sexual partners when they live in colder climates and are happier being monogamous when it is hotter in a study into the behaviour of insects. The study also unveiled that some female fruit flies are genetically programmed to have a large number of mates and will do so whatever the weather, while others will consistently stick to one mate. The findings, published in the journal Behavioral...
By Kane Power (@ElHeavio) 23.10.15, The Hope and Anchor, London Ever since there has been a ‘man’ to rebel against, there have been rebels to tell other rebels that they aren’t rebels. Elitism in punk is old hand; overdone and over argued, but that it still exists in 2015 is actually a kind of comfort to me. When being a rebel is mainstream there’s little room for individualism and little cause for angst, so it’s up to groups within the...
It seemed like a good idea at the time, the 7am VCE – LGW flight. Other people I knew were doing it, and it was so cheap, what was the worst that could happen? Well I’ve come through the other side, perhaps to tell everyone: DON’T DO IT KIDS. To state the bleedin’ obvious, Venice it has no roads - no not even ones that the guide book don’t talk about, which is what I expected. So being a city...
