Are we a society that confuses popularity with value? | Your Turn Original
Social media has become the cultural training system that teaches people how to evaluate themselves, other people, and ideas — and many Americans are paying the price for it. Concerned individuals rightly worry about its effects on anxiety, depression, and self-esteem. But beneath those concerns lies a deeper question: What happens when a society begins treating popularity as the sole indicator of value?
What they don’t teach you about marketing at Harvard Business School: Being positionless
What they didn’t teach you in the marketing org chart: how to win when the window is closing. Picture a marketer who sees VIPs starting to lapse on a Thursday morning. By noon, they’ve pulled the data, developed three creative variants, launched a triggered journey and measured incremental improvement. No tickets, no queues, no committees.

As surveillance technology has evolved over the past decade, new and exciting tools have emerged to help security teams keep their facilities safe. Large venues, in particular, have seen their security options expand as modern analytics make it possible to keep a closer, more watchful eye over a greater amount of space. This has changed the way security teams secure venues like stadiums and arenas—which is fortunate, as the way those venues host events has evolved as well.

How lockdown changed the sex lives of young adults - new research
Lockdown significantly affected our health (for good and bad), our work and how we socialise. These consequences have been widely discussed, but far less attention has been given to the effect on our sex lives. When lockdown came into force in the UK in March 2020, people from outside the same household were not allowed to meet indoors, and only at set distances outdoors. This meant that sex between people who didn’t live together was effectively criminalised.

An Entertainment District
An Entertainment District The expanding role of sports arenas’ security By Mark McCormack Aug 07, 2020 Remember classic stadiums like Wrigley Field, Chicago’s old baseball park, or Forbes Field, the old baseball and football park in Pittsburgh?
