Hello one and all.

It's been pretty chilled on the home front this week. You know the kind of week where you get so much admin done?

We continue our roll out of CyberTech Global 2021 content with more insights into the shift of technology and why we can't just be bystanders anymore in the fake news phenomena. Our MD goes into some detail on it below.

In 'Shaping Tomorrow' we check out which countries have the highest rate of COVID-19 vaccinations – Israel and the UAE take the lead. Is your country in the top eight?

In 'Diversions' we look at how we can calm our inner storm. Perhaps the pandemic has forced us to face a lot of new emotion. This article by Psyche really paves the path to understanding to regain control.

And if you're having a reading weekend coming up, get in on Bill Gates' top four books that he gives a five star review on!

That's it from us for now. Till next week!

Team E.

CYBERTECH OPENING

We are still in a CyberTech frame of mind here. Watch our MD open up the floor on the start-up segment of the conference where she interviewed a line up of speakers from all around the world – in person.

THE SHIFT OF TECHNOLOGY

SHAPING TOMORROW

We’re always on the look out for dynamic change makers, disruptors and new information to fuel our own dexterity and creativity. So, this section sees a few of our recent picks on how the world’s outlook is changing. We hope these little nuggets will help you land on that 'aha!' moment you were looking for!

OUR DIVERSIONS

We know everyone says it's not all work, it's about play, too – and as much as we don't want to sound like a broken record, there is truth in the truism. Like we said earlier, we are all about ingesting the complex and the trivial in equal measure. In fact, we love nothing more than thinking deeply about the more 'playful' things in life. Read ' em and ponder away.

NOW PLAYING

We all know the Nina Simone original but have you heard this juicy jazzed up rendition by Diana Ross? You might have a new preference for loving Porgy!

TODAY'S QUOTE

There are many people in the world who are smart and intelligent. However, not all have common sense.

THE OUTLOOK

The kind of hiking we love is when it takes planes, trains and automobiles to get the start of the trail.
