UK Government Confirms July 19th Reopening Date—But 1 in 8 Nightclubs Have “Disappeared”
16 contentious months later, the UK government has confirmed its plan to lift lockdown measures on July 19th. But many questions about the return of nightclubs remain. According to Bloomberg, who cited data from CGA and Alix Partners’ Market Recovery Monitor, one in eight venues have “disappeared” since the onset of the pandemic—a ratio that is expected to worsen as COVID-19 cases surge. The clubs that remain face a dubious future as the number of coronavirus cases rises due to the delta variant. CNBC reports over 34,000 new cases were recorded in the UK on Monday, July 12th. In the wake of the UK government’s devastating delay on the lift of restrictions in June, the country’s clubbing scene—one of the world’s most historic nightlife sectors—was de...
Rob Schneider Unwilling to Take COVID-19 Vaccine, Is Willing to Shoot People
Rob Schneider is encouraging his followers to not get vaccinated, and even though the Biden administration has consistently declined to mandate COVID-19 vaccinations, the former SNL and Deuce Bigalow, Male Gigalo star wants you to know that he’d be willing to shoot people, if such a requirement existed. The comedian-turned-conspiracy theorist encouraged these anti-vax sentiments in a post on social media. He re-tweeted a story about inoculated people requiring booster shots and added the comment, “Just say no… And keep saying no… Over Half of the US population is continuing to say no to this unapproved experimental gene therapy!” He then utilized the pro-choice slogan, “‘My body, my choice!” and ended with a reminder that he has guns and will use them with the hashtag #...

3 Biggest Wastes of Money When Investing in Digital Transformation, According to Expert
Digital transformation is a business imperative, yet many industries have struggled to put this into practical effect. Thanks to COVID-19, lockdown and forced work from home (WFH) restrictions, remote employees and clients’ expectations needed to be met in an unrestrained, highly competitive environment. Successful industries who invested in Artificial Intelligence for IT Operations (AIOps) in 2020 will most certainly have seen a return on their investment – but how have they done this? “With COVID-19, everyone is seeing digital acceleration, but few organisations are tracking what their business outcomes are from these,” says James Anderson, research VP at Gartner. “Where are companies wasting money? They’re not using business metrics to influence investment. They’re doing what people tel...

South Africa extends tight coronavirus restrictions for another 14 days
South Africa extended tight COVID-19 rules on Sunday for another 14 days, maintaining restrictions that include a ban on gatherings, a curfew from 9 p.m. to 4 a.m. and a prohibition on the sale of alcohol. The country, the worst-hit on the African continent in terms of recorded cases and deaths, is in the grip of a third wave of infections driven by the more infectious Delta coronavirus variant. “Our health system countrywide remains under pressure,” President Cyril Ramaphosa said in a televised address to the nation. Early this month South Africa recorded a new record of over 26,000 daily cases, stretching hospitals to breaking point. Ramaphosa moved the country to the fourth level of a five-tier restriction scale in late June as infections climbed, promising to review the restrictions af...
New MusicCareers Platform Aims to Help Jobseekers Find Post-Pandemic Work
As the music industry continues to find its footing in the wake of the devastating economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, a new resource has launched with the goal of aiding both employers and jobseekers in identifying new opportunities. Entrepreneurs Budi Voogt and David Sikorski recently unveiled MusicCareers, a music industry-specific job board platform dedicated to finding work for jobseekers. Last year saw a bifurcation of the music business unlike any other period in history. According to the BBC, live music revenues fell around 85% in 2020. However, commercial music sales continued to grow substantially due to the tailwinds of an 18.5% increase in streaming subscription revenue in 2020. The result of such stark market shifts has left many workers feeling unfamiliar with the...

The Haller Foundation and Mara Phones Boost Accessibility to Mobile Technology Across Rural Africa
Digital transformation has been actively and earnestly accelerated across Africa, with more companies and organisations than ever investing time, money and skills towards the goal. This has been pushed even further by the effects of the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic. According to the World Bank, Sub-Saharan Africa has been hit the hardest by the economic impact of COVID-19, with an estimated 23 million people in the region projected to be pushed into poverty by the pandemic. However, there are regions in Africa that this transformation has struggled to reach due to long histories of extensive digital exclusion from even before the pandemic. In these rural areas, the adoption of digital technologies and devices can make a tangible difference to the communities that inhabit them, especially th...
