UEFA has introduced a new concept for its integrity and prevention sessions at youth competition final tournaments. The educational programme – which is presented at the youth finals by members of UEFA’s integrity division – will continue to include briefings for the teams on the UEFA match-fixing and anti-doping activities. However, it will now also include a session on facets of the UEFA #EqualGame programme promoting respect, diversity, inclusion and accessibility in football. Already, more than 460 young male and female footballers have attended the expanded sessions at the European men’s and women’s U17 finals, and this number will rise to around…

Back in 2014, XPRIZE announced a new “Global Learning” category that challenged teams to develop open source education software kids in developing countries can use to teach themselves reading, writing and math. The organization launched field tests of the five finalists’ creations late last year, and now it’s expanding the reach and scale of those pilot tests with help from new partners Queen Rania Foundation, Education Cannot Wait, Teach the World Foundation, Imagine Worldwide and Global Alliance for Humanitarian Innovation.

One of the biggest selling points of social media for brands is that it allows for the natural fostering of trust. For brands that operate in taboo/highly scrutinized industries like credit repair or pharmaceuticals, the value of social media can’t be overstated. When you study certain industries, you’ll notice that there are particularly warm connections between businesses and their consumers. For example, the coffee shop down the street from you—the one that’s been there for decades—has no trouble building trust with customers. Then there’s your favorite online retailer, where you shop for shoes multiple times per year. Again, there’s a…
MAY 20th will mark the end of “mental-health awareness week”, a campaign run by the Mental Health Foundation, a British charity. Roughly a quarter of British adults have been diagnosed at some point with a psychiatric disorder, costing the economy an estimated 4.5% of GDP per year. Such illnesses have many causes, but a growing body of research demonstrates that in young people they are linked with heavy consumption of social media. According to a survey in 2017 by the Royal Society for Public Health, Britons aged 14-24 believe that Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and Twitter have detrimental effects on their wellbeing. On…
“No one really reads what you food writers write in newspapers, you know,” says a friendly PR conspiratorially to me one fine evening, whispering across our drinks. “Er… but you are different,” she hastens to assuage any ruffled feelings. “People don’t know what you will end up writing on your social media, so they are scared,” she explains. For someone who has built a career writing about restaurants and food and drink for publications like this one, it’s a bitter pill — or, well, cocktail — to swallow. Is a flippant, off-the-cuff social media post really more valuable than the…

The current golden age of tabletop gaming has also led to a similar surge in apps that adapt board games to tablets and phones, with new ones arriving almost every week — and some games even premiering in digital form at the same time they show up on store shelves. I’ve tried more than 50 such apps, all of which are based on games you can buy in stores, and here are my top 25. Unless otherwise noted, these are all available on iOS and Android, with some on Steam, as well. The list does not include apps, such as Samurai and Through…
In your everyday life, a minute might not seem like much. But when it comes to the vast scale of the internet, a minute of time goes much further than you ever could have imagined. That’s because the internet has a degree of scale that our linear human brains are unaccustomed to operating on. AN INTERNET MINUTE IN 2018 Today’s infographic is from Lori Lewis and Chadd Callahan of Cumulus Media, and it shows the activity taking place on various platforms such as Facebook or Google in each 60 second span.
