• Exhibition – Outwitting Cancer

  27-04-2022 19:00 via ianvisits.co.uk
  
  An exhibition about the Big C opens in a dark room with something, I really couldn’t work out what, but it looks like light patterns being shown onto a textured wall.
  Skipping quickly through, the main display though is a much more interestingly laid out exhibition, mainly display boards, but each one has been cut through with a silhouette of a person, reminding us how deeply human cancer can be in going beyond the mere physical problem to the emotions a cancer diagnosis can trigger.There

• BT finally makes EE its main consumer-facing brand

  27-04-2022 18:27
  
  A sort-of rebrand means EE will become the flagship brand for consumers, and will ‘expand into new areas’ – though the BT brand will remain on home standalone broadband and landline services.
  The essence of it seems to be that there will be a greater emphasis on EE branded converged bundles, while BT will be more of a b2b facing operation aside from standalone consumer broadband and landline, which will stay BT branded.
  “We are evolving from today’s approach in the

• Retro games arcade coming to central London

  27-04-2022 16:00 via ianvisits.co.uk
  
  Next month, a former nightclub just off Oxford Street will open as a Soho bar, with a load of retro arcade games. And by retro, I don’t mean, 5 years old, but proper old school retro, the sort of retro that only people in the 30s and above will recognise.
  And it’s for adults only.
  So expect to try and remember how to play Ms Pac-Man, Mortal Combat, Double Dragon, Galaga, Tekken, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, to name just a few. The decor is lots of neon and big bold colours, so v

• Huawei announces counter-intuitive recruitment drive

  27-04-2022 14:07
  
  At its latest annual analyst summit, Chinese vendor Huawei once more struck a defiant note with the announcement of a new recruitment programme.
  The last thing you’d expect a company that has had around half of its business destroyed by US sanctions to prioritize is taking on more staff. A possible explanation for this counter-intuitive move is Huawei’s remarkable ability to increase profits in the face of exceptional headwinds. Afterall, it has to spend all that cash somewhere.

  27-04-2022 13:00 via ianvisits.co.uk
  
  London’s biggest retrospective of the works of Walter Sickert in nearly 30 years opens at the Tate Britain and offers a dark journey into the mind of an influential, but an undeniably troubled artist.
  Walter Sickert (1860-1942) took a radically modern approach to painting in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, transforming how everyday life was captured on canvas, but his work was also to lead to later allegations of links with Jack the Ripper.
