17: All Change! (Wed 23rd September 2015) Well, what a difference a week makes, dear reader! The more astute amongst you will have noticed that this article has moved from a Friday to a Wednesday and there’s a very good reason for that. Well, there’s a reason for that. Whether you think it’s a good one or not is entirely in your hands. Basically, I’ve had to juggle my workload as a result of some lovely new projects I’m involved...

By Max du Bois, Spencer du Bois  The NHS identity is sixteen years old. Created in 1999, in a bid to improve recognition and accountability, it certainly has been a great success. But much has changed since then. For a start our healthcare has improved and moved on, and the current fundamental shift in the healthcare economy requires a different type of brand that performs in this brave new world. In fact we need to go beyond a logo and...

By Nathan Lee, TLE Correspondent The restaurant industry is set to be ‘Uberised’ by a new app which offers customers a bill splitting option when booking a private chef at home. La Belle Assiette, an online marketplace that matches professional chefs to clients, has created the new feature after research found 79 per cent of English customers split the bill in restaurants. Customers can now pay only part of the bill when booking a chef, with menus priced ‘per guest’...

By Leslie Pitt @Afrofilmviewer Nanni Moretti’s latest feature certainly feels like a personal feature. The film deals with an overworked political filmmaker (Margherita Buy), who struggles to cope with balancing her working life while the trauma of a dying matriarch lingers over both herself and her brother (Moretti). The personal elements of the film creep through not only in the film within a film aspect (which hints at the directors left leaning sensibilities in on a surface level), but with...

Sport News 24/7 By David de Winter - Sports Editor @TLE_Sport  @davidjdewinter Chelsea striker Diego Costa was back in the news at the weekend (surprise, surprise) after altercations with Arsenal defenders Gabriel and Laurent Koscielny during the two teams' clash at Stamford Bridge, which saw the former sent off.  Chelsea eventually won the match 2-0 but the victory came at a price as the Spain forward has retrospectively been banned for three matches by the Football Association for his part...

By Nathan Lee, TLE Correspondent The new Tate Modern is to open to the public on Friday 17 June 2016, Tate announced today, with school children from around the UK invited to visit on the day before the opening to explore the new building and respond to the modern and contemporary art on display. Created by world-leading architects Herzog & de Meuron, the new Tate Modern will feature a complete re-hang, bringing together much-loved works from the collection with new...

By Michael McNulty From the minute Pierce Brosnan’s face appears in medium close up in the first scene and he utters the words “I’m sorry, truly, because I fucked up” it almost feels like he could be apologising to the viewer for what they are about to endure. This scene and the rest of Lessons in Love is as about as convincing as Pierce Brosnan was playing James Bond. It’s a mishmash of poorly written, averagely filmed, unconvincing scenes that...

Willie J Healey has announced the forthcoming release of his second EP Saturday Night Feeling  on November 6th. Check out lead single 'Dude Like Him' below for some summer vibes in the vein of Maccabees and Hooton Tennis Club. ‘Dude Like Him’, demonstrates a more direct and punchy side to Willie’s typically hazy and meandering surf-rock persona. He is, in his own words ‘a lover of all things simple, cult films, surf tones and the girl next door’. Willie deals in...

By Emma Silverthorn (@HouseOf_Gazelle) In The Disappearance of Dorothy Lawrence theatre group Vital Xposure is set to tell another hidden story from an otherwise repressed voice. In the centenary year of the Suffragette movement it’s not surprising to find more art dealing with the stories of those women key within it; with the film Suffragette, out next month and starring powerhouse Meryl Streep as Emmeline Pankhurst, being the most high profile of all. But Dorothy Lawrence is not a well-known...
