Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin All of us think that timing is exact, that it will always be there on our smartphones or watches. But these devices are not foolproof. Electromagnetic storms, foreign interference with satellites, and spoofing and jamming can all disrupt the timing streams sent to our computers and other devices. American Global Positioning System satellite navigation systems provide timing services, in addition to positioning information, through a constellation of satellites. The same GPS system that tells you where you are (using your car navigation system) also tells you the time. Just as interruptions to these satellite signals can affect how you perceive your location, they can also affect how your watch and smartphone tell you the time. Russia and China have demonstrated that they can take down satellites, enabling them to meddle with Americans’ perception of location and time. In July sunspots caused unusually-strong solar … [Read more...] about How To Buy Better Time

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin By Ioannis Ioannou, Associate Professor of Strategy and Entrepreneurship, London Business School In recent weeks, we have witnessed thousands of protesters thronging the streets of Glasgow, London and other major cities around the world, turning out to demand immediate action to tackle the climate crisis following the heatwaves that were experienced from China to North Africa to Europe and to the United States. Whether it is the aftermath of COVID-19 or the economic and political disruption caused by the war in Ukraine, these emerging and powerful social movements such as Fridays For The Future and Extinction Rebellion recognise that the world has been severely set back in its efforts to build a more sustainable and inclusive future and that as 2030 fast approaches, we remain very far from achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). Most importantly, there is a widespread recognition that institutional efforts … [Read more...] about The Climate Crisis And The Need To Reimagine Global Institutions

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Twenty-two-year old Grammy-nominated artist, Christone “Kingfish” Ingram , known as the defining blues voice of his generation, is on a roll. Kingfish came into prominence in 2019 when he brought out his first eponymous album Kingfish on Alligator Records. He was 19 years old. Since then, from his hometown of Clarksdale, Mississippi to stages around the world, Kingfish has headlined two national tours and performed with such artists as Buddy Guy.

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Known today as Cycling UK , the organisation is now a charity but it was founded as the Bicycle Touring Club 144 years ago today. The Bicycle Touring Club (BTC) was founded at the North of England Meet of high-wheel riders held on the Stray at Harrogate, Yorkshire, on August 5, 1878. The club was the idea of three young blades: Stanley Cotterell, an English medical student studying in Edinburgh, S. H. Ineson of the Bradford Bicycle Club and T. H. Holding of Banbury in Oxfordshire. Because tricyclists joined the club, it was renamed in 1882 as the Cyclists’ Touring Club, or CTC. The aims of the CTC were to “encourage and facilitate touring in all parts of the world. To protect its members against unprovoked assaults. To provide riding or touring companions.” Ten years after its first meet the CTC’s membership reached 20,000, making it the largest athletic club in the world. And its members were influential. … [Read more...] about Happy Birthday Cycling UK — Fighting For Cyclists Since This Day In 1878

Microsoft is building Microsoft Mesh, its own version of that world for enterprise. The chipmaker Nvidia has its Omniverse, a platform for collaborative 3D design.

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin A simple Google search of worldwide trends reveals commentaries about the end of globalization, the imminent surge of regionalism, and the implosion of the global supply chain. Without the tools to separate the reality from the rhetoric, the noise of buzzwords such as “deglobalization” and “diminishing interdependence” can drive investors into fear-induced figurative paralysis. With this four-step framework, the body politic can assess how deglobalization and the looming recession will affect certain industries and regions, helping companies make nuanced decisions about whether and how to expand globally and maximize reward of existing investments. Step 1: Understand de-globalization and how will it affect the looming recession The headlines that focus on “widespread deglobalization”suggest that all (or most) stakeholders to the global business community and international political institutions are in the process of … [Read more...] about How Businesses Can Navigate Deglobalization And The Looming Recession: A Four-Step Framework

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin This time around, Anthony Pettis promises a different approach, and that approach can be summed up with one word: showtime. In his last fight versus Stevie Ray in June, the MMA superstar known as “Showtime” played it safe, got trapped in a body triangle and tapped out . Now Pettis and Ray will battle again just a few weeks after their first fight because that’s how the season-based Professional Fighters League works.

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin It’s long been believed that young people tend to suffer most from any recession as the impact is felt hardest by those who are at the start of their careers. For instance, previous research has found that the unemployment rate for 21 to 25-year-olds is double that of 25 to 54-year-olds during a recession. Redundancies during this early stage in our careers are especially damaging because it’s the time when we see the biggest growth in our income. This has been particularly so during the Covid pandemic that has imposed particular challenges on the mental wellbeing of young people. "We noticed post-pandemic a real need to support young people with their mental health and wellbeing," Andy Burnham, Mayor of Greater Manchester, told me at the recent National Youth Summit. "There's a really great issue in terms of the growing complexity of the world that has made it harder than ever to be young, and young people are really … [Read more...] about Why A Missing Link For Economic Mobility Could Be Young People’s Optimism
