With more than 1.43 million bounce back loans approved, the UK government has now issued well over £40bn in help for small businesses. Rishi Sunak has also recently extended the application deadline, and allowed businesses that have already applied to top up their loan amounts. While the government's support for business has been widely applauded, there are also grown concerns from within the financial community about whether these loans will ever be repaid. In fact, the government’s own assessment of the matter, via the National Audit Office (NAO) suggests that taxpayers could lose as much as £26bn, from fraud, organised crime or default, highlighting that the scheme is likely to reach "significantly above" normal estimates for public-sector fraud” Other estimates suggest up to ...

Although it is an unpleasant truth, the education system no matter where in the world, has been standing still in place for centuries now. Even today, the big amount of school systems, from those that are working with toddlers to ones preparing young potential scientists and doctors to take on extremely important roles in their countries in the future, can often fail to light a spark of creativity and interest in their young pupils. They are also not helping them to reach their true potential. Every young person is unique, and while there are groups of children and adults who share similar learning preferences, the majority of individuals would need a unique approach to teaching. In fact, a unique approach to learning is the inspiration behind Unruly Splats to get children comf...

Thanks to modern technology, we’re able to carry our lives with us wherever we go. Conversations with loved ones, emails for work, banking information, our favorite music, and special photos are all stored in our smartphones.

Connecting to public Wi-Fi networks is common nowadays, especially on smartphones. But using an unsecured connection can mean being hac...

For many generations, gamers had an unfortunate stereotype attached to them.

Gaming leagues weren’t as common, there wasn’t much interest beyond a limited audience. Also, watching “real” athletes on TV was so much more appealing. It is almost satisfying, as a long-time gamer, to see how far eSports have come in just a few decades. Of course, better game designs, more powerful hardware, and better internet services like Spectrum internet have played their part. But as far as the modern-day gaming scene goes, the industry has grown to multi-billion-dollar levels. eSports are not just competitive eve...
