How to keep the family fit

By Jasmine Stephens, Family Editor Every January my New Year’s resolution is to find a way to get fitter, but by March I’ve already conveniently forgotten the new trainers stashed in the porch. I like to think I am healthy enough to run for the bus, but the truth is I haven’t done any organised exercise since I left school in 1997 and was no longer forced to run around a muddy field while a sadistic PE teacher shouted words...

The times, they are a-changin’

By Jasmine Stephens, Family Editor  The day you become a parent changes you forever. You cross the Rubicon, you leap into the breach, there’s no turning back. Your washing machine and kettle yearn for the simpler times of a bygone era. But nowhere is the paradigm shift more palpable than the bi-annual event that is the changing of the clocks. In the rose-tinted, good old days of pre-kids, I used to worry about getting to work on time the day...

Top 20 ways to be happy

By Dr Mo Zoha, expert in Happiness at London’s Nightingale Hospital Realise money doesn’t buy you happiness. It has been found that as long as you have enough money to pay for necessities and live comfortably, anything above that does not necessarily equate to more happiness. Spend money on experiences, not objects. Objects and possessions do not necessarily make us happier, but spending time with family and friends does. Enjoy the moment. Older people tend to be happier, perhaps because...

Top 20 ways to get better sleep

 By Dr Nerina Ramlakhan, sleep and energy expert at Nightingale Hospital Pay attention to your sleep environment. Keep your room free of clutter and junk. Turn off all lights, as bright lights may keep you awake. Make sure it is as quiet as possible to guarantee deep and undisturbed sleep, or use a white noise machine (or fan in summer) to cut out distracting noises. Avoid technology. Smart phones, laptops, and other electronic devices make our brains active. Distance yourself...

Wild Tales – Film Review

By Stephen Mayne  @finalreel Revenge, traditionally a dish best served cold, proves anything but in Damián Szifrón’s Oscar nominated Argentinian anthology. Featuring six instalments of absurd vengeance, Wild Tales is jammed full of over the top characters, rash actions, malicious intent and rage. So much rage. Evidently, life in present day Argentina has left everyone on the verge of explosion as otherwise normal people are pushed too far. This is comedy of the darkest variety, often straying close to psychological...

Lifestyle – Walth-OM-stow’s New Addition; East of Eden

By Esin Huseyin I was lucky enough to head to Walthamstow's latest addition, the brand spanking new yoga studios, East of Eden. It was so new in fact, I had a little trouble finding the place as there was no signage, and the interior was a little unfinished - but I love that, no distraction from the studio itself. You’ll be glad to know it’s all complete now! I threw myself a little into the deep end considering I haven’t practiced...

Six Nations Team of the Tournament

Sport News 24/7 By David de Winter - Sports Editor @davidjdewinter  @TLE_Sport On Saturday morning, when I was formulating the idea for this article in my head, I had everything planned out.  I was going to bemoan the fact that in this day and age of professional rugby, defences almost invariably come out on top.  I was going to complain that very few players have the intuition (or talent) to take a potentially match-changing risk.  Then I was going to...

Preview: 24-Hour Drone – Experiments in Sound and Music

By Daniel Mackenzie (@EkcaLiena) The pathways to drone are mysterious and numerous, rooting themselves in metal – in the case of doom stasis heavy hitters SunnO))); electronic music – like Loscil; a history of abstract sound in the case of Brian Eno or Tangerine Dream. It's not a surprise that a celebratory showcase of the genre would take a very specific core and break it open into its spectral histories. Le Guess Who? Festival, based in Utrecht, premiered the beautifully...
