First version of the SleepX APP has been uploaded to the Google Play Store

Appyea

SleepX, a subsidiary of AppYea (OTC: APYP) a Company that is focused on the development of accurate wearable monitoring solutions to treat sleep apnea and snoring, announces that the first version of the SleepX APP has been uploaded to the Google Play Store. Without a wristband, the current version can be used for breath monitoring, snoring detection and intensity, as well as the amount of snoring per sleep session. The app also provides the user a breathing graph as well as a recording each sleep session. The app is available for free download for all versions of Android starting with version 7.0. "We decided to upload the first version for free, to increase people awareness of the importance of quality of proper breathing during sleep," said Bary Molchadsky, founder of SleepX and chairman of AppYea. “Poor sleep is associated with a compromised immune system, heart problems, reduced physical and mental performance, mood problems, obesity and many other health problems”, said Neil Kline, Founder & former CEO of the American Sleep Association, and a AppYea Board Member. “Unfortunately, most people with sleep disorder breathing problems, like sleep apnea, are undiagnosed and untreated. Our goal with this unique technology is to raise awareness and improve sleep quality so individuals can live healthier and more fulfilling lives.” Free download the SleepX APP for Android AppYea continues in-depth tests and calibration of DreamIT, its wearable data-driven wristband to treat snoring. The wearable contains a vibration motor and sensors that measure real-time physiological indications such as movement, pulse, blood oxygen level, blood pressure, etc. and send the data to the SleepX app on the user smartphone. Unique algorithms combine all data in real time and decide when to activate the vibration, at what intensity, and its duration. The gentle vibration takes you out of deep sleep into a lighter phase, a transition that trains user to breathe properly. Over a short amount of time, user’s brain and body use biofeedback to teach itself to sleep in the correct position and proper breathing technique on its own, leading to improved night breathing over time. At the user's choice, it is possible to receive comprehensive statistical reports on sleep quality and sleep health, as well as alerts about critical health changes that require consultation and follow-up. In the coming months, the company plans to launch the SleepX APP on the APPLE STORE for iPhone users and start marketing DreamIT.

Minuteman Press Franchise Owners André and Cindie Nel Grow Business in Costa Mesa, CA

Minuteman Press International Inc

In January 2020, André and Cindie Nel realized their dream of owning a business in the US by purchasing their Minuteman Press franchise located at 2930 College Ave., Unit C in Costa Mesa. “We have both always been entrepreneurs at heart,” says Cindie. As a dynamic husband and wife duo, André and Cindie have combined their strengths to create a highly successful Minuteman Press business in Costa Mesa, California, with strong growth since buying the business during the pandemic and through to today. Journey from South Africa to Costa Mesa Hailing from South Africa, André, as part of an owner run business, built a significant multi temperature logistics and distribution company for several large US fast food franchise brands. Cindie, through her strong sales and account management skills, built an innovative telecommunications brand. Cindie shares, “André, recognizing the value in investing in leading US Franchise organizations, set about purchasing a franchise in the US. Minuteman Press International, with its solid track record and stellar reputation not only in the US but in other global markets including South Africa, made the Minuteman Press franchise opportunity a front runner. This, combined with André being a college marketing major and me being a public relations major, meant there was an obvious synergy in the commercial print world, and this made Minuteman Press the perfect business opportunity for us.” Now operating in Costa Mesa for over two and a half years, André and Cindie have fully integrated themselves and Minuteman Press into their community. André says, “Costa Mesa is an inclusive community with businesses choosing to shop and support local and we have seen huge benefits in both supporting and receiving local support. Support includes not only business but also sharing facilities and neighborhood responsibilities.” “With so much being ‘virtual’ in today’s society, print is still something tangible that people can touch and feel and use to connect more personally with potential and existing clients. If the pandemic has taught us anything, it is the importance of connecting with one another at every opportunity, be it postcards, brochures, apparel, signage, customized mailings, etc. Print is highly personal and society is craving more and not less of it.” -Cindie Nel, co-owner, Minuteman Press, Costa Mesa Building the Business in Costa Mesa To grow the business, André and Cindie have successfully differentiated themselves from the competition. André explains, “Earning our clients’ trust through personal service, quick turnarounds and over delivering on expectations sets us apart from our competitors. We’ve learned to understand each client’s specific requirements and tailor our solutions accordingly. Rather than be a ‘Jack of all Trades’ we strive to become an expert for their essential needs and grow into their requirements from there.” For Minuteman Press in Costa Mesa, key product growth areas include customized labels, stickers, books, and custom branded apparel. André says, “We’ve invested and skilled up in the label/sticker and book capabilities. We’ve realized the key is in-house, quick turnaround service. We are price competitive, however, not the cheapest in town. Our clients love our personal service, with pre-production samples and our ability to meet tight in-hand deadlines setting us apart from our larger competitors.” He continues, “We have also managed to grow our customized apparel business through a great partnership with a decorator with whom we work closely in understanding the balance between exceptional quality and meeting customer in hand dates.” When it comes to marketing the business, Cindie shares, “Our biggest growth initiatives have been online marketing through Google optimization, with our five-star Google Reviews being a massive contributing success factor. The Minuteman Press pedigree is also key in clients locating us through Internet search filters. Other major growth contributing factors have been personal networking and client referrals. One of our largest clients, a realty company, is a friend of ours and it’s rewarding to be a part of their marketing and business development success.” She adds, “When you’ve invested in paid Internet optimization and client referrals, it’s critical you answer the phone and email as quickly and as professionally as possible to ensure these opportunities are secured.” Why Minuteman Press? For André and Cindie, joining the Minuteman Press franchise family enabled them to realize their dream of owning a business while also providing additional resources and support. Cindie says, “Becoming integrated into the Minuteman Press franchise system has been seamless and successful due to the informative training at World HQ and the ongoing solid local support from our Regional VP Dan Byers and the local field team. Minuteman Press checks all the right boxes in terms of onboarding, operational and financial training, and franchise support.” She continues, “Additionally, where Minuteman Press hits the ball out the park is in the inclusive ‘Minuteman Press family’ culture where everyone supports each other in challenging times and cheers each other on and celebrates sincerely in each other’s achievements. This is what makes Minuteman Press the unique and special place that it is. During these unprecedented times we’ve all been facing, the kindness and generosity shown by our Minuteman Press family has been remarkable.” When asked about the rewards of business ownership, Cindie states, “Our biggest personal reward for owning our own business is that we get to remain connected with our children through time flexibility and the ability to support them financially. Our son, Ethan, is a Computer Science Engineering Major at UCSC. We love that we get to visit him and the beautiful campus and town of Santa Cruz. Our daughter, Madison, a Junior at San Clemente High School, is an aspiring actress and we love having the time and ability to share her dreams and passions.” Cindie adds, “Our professional rewards are how our clients have become our partners and friends resulting in doubling the turnover of our business in the brief two and a half years we’ve owned our shop. This has been achieved with the mindset that every project is about how we can add value to our clients’ businesses or employees. Without our strategic relationships with our suppliers and service providers this would be impossible, so we therefore value, support and deeply invest in these companies who are an extension of our family.” Advice to Others For others who are looking into owning a business, Cindie shares, “Our advice to business owners is to do as we did; learn from the best. The key to success is to know your local market and client base and to let them dictate what and how much to invest in in-house capabilities.” She concludes, “Become experts in your field. Never hand over a job that is anything less than exceptional and also package and label your orders in the manner that you as a client would like to receive them. Always be excited and enthusiastic about every job you do for your client and rewards will follow!” Minuteman Press in Costa Mesa is located at 2930 College Ave., Unit C, Costa Mesa, CA 92626.

US Digestive Health Launches the Largest Installation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) Systems for Colorectal Cancer Screening in the United States

US Digestive Health

US Digestive Health (“USDH”), a network of top-rated gastrointestinal (GI) practices, today announced that it is now offering patients AI-assisted colonoscopy screenings with the country’s largest installation of GI Genius™ intelligent endoscopy modules. In the U.S., colorectal cancer is the third most common form of diagnosed cancer and the second deadliest, with almost 150,000 new cases every year [1]. However, it’s also one of the most treatable cancers, with a 90% survival rate when it is detected and treated early. Colonoscopy has long been considered the gold standard for detecting polyps that can eventually lead to colorectal cancer. Now, patients at USDH have the strength of an AI-assisted option for screening with GI Genius TM — the first and only FDA-cleared, commercially available device that employs AI to help physicians detect polyps. US Digestive Health’s installation of GI Genius TM is the largest in the world and the first in Pennsylvania. The launch will give patients throughout southeastern, southwestern and central Pennsylvania wide-ranging access to the innovative technology and its enhanced capability. “GI Genius TM is a major breakthrough in colorectal cancer screening. In real time, it can help physicians identify hard-to-detect and potentially cancerous polyps,” said Dr. Dale Whitebloom, US Digestive Health’s Chief Medical Officer. “We begin our screening colonoscopies at age 45, which is the most up-to-date recommendation by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force and American Cancer Society. Adding GI Genius TM gives us yet another tool to help protect our patients from the scourge of cancer.” The GI Genius TM module uses advanced AI software to highlight suspicious areas with a visual marker in real time — serving as the gastroenterologist’s vigilant second observer with a sensitivity rate per lesion of 100% [2]. A study published on March 15 in Gastroenterology, the official medical journal of the American Gastroenterological Society, found that the use of GI Genius TM in conjunction with a colonoscopy can decrease polyp miss rates by nearly 50%, while other studies have shown that AI-assisted colonoscopy can increase detection rates by up to 14% [3],[4]. Jerry Tillinger, CEO of US Digestive Health, said, “Our mission is to prevent colorectal cancer, and AI-assisted colonoscopy is an incredible advancement in protecting the people of Pennsylvania from this terrible disease. We’re proud to collaborate with Medtronic, as well as our endoscopy partners, AMSURG and PE GI Solutions, to roll out the largest installation of GI Genius TM not only in the United States but also in the world. As a result, US Digestive Health patients now have access to GI Genius TM -assisted colonoscopies.” US Digestive Health was formed in 2019 by Amulet Capital Partners, LP (“Amulet”), a middle-market private equity investment firm based in Greenwich, CT, focused exclusively on the healthcare sector, in partnership with member practice partner physicians.

In addition, Betbeard offers a 100% match bonus on your first deposit, making it the perfect choice for those looking for the safest online casino for real money. What Bitcoin Casinos Accept USA Players? When it comes to finding the safest online casino for real money, there are a few things you need to take into account. The first thing is the licensing of the casino. A lot of casinos are licensed by the Malta Gaming Authority or the UK Gambling Commission, which ensures that the casino is following all the necessary regulations. The second thing you need to take into account is the security of the casino. Most casinos use SSL encryption to protect your personal and financial information. The third thing you need to take into account is the customer support offered by the casino. Some casinos have live chat support, while others only offer email support. Although some betting sites have no live chat and expect you to contact them via email, the best bitcoin casinos offer 24/7 customer service, thousands of slots and lucrative casino bonuses. How do I Use Bitcoin Online Casino? Bitcoin casinos are becoming more and more popular, as they offer a convenient and secure way to gamble online. However, if you've never used a Bitcoin casino before, you may be wondering how to go about using one. The first thing you need to do is choose a casino that accepts Bitcoin. Many different casinos accept Bitcoin, so make sure to do your research before choosing one. Once you've found a casino that looks good to you, create an account and deposit some funds into it. Once you have funds in your account, you can start playing the slot games on offer. Most Bitcoin casinos will offer a wide range of slots and table games, so you should be able to find something that you enjoy playing. If you're not sure how to play a particular game, most casinos will offer tutorials or demo versions that you can try out. When you're ready to withdraw your winnings, simply request a withdrawal from the casino and they will send the funds to your Bitcoin wallet. Withdrawals can sometimes take a few hours to process, but once they're complete, you'll be able to spend your winnings however you like. Are Bitcoin Games Fair? When it comes to online gambling, fairness is always a major concern for players. Thankfully, Bitcoin casinos use a technology called provably fair to ensure that all their games are completely fair. Provably fair is a system that allows players to verify the fairness of each game they play. This is done by using cryptographic algorithms to generate a random number for each game. This number can then be checked against the casino's server to ensure that it hasn't been tampered with. This system provides complete transparency and assurance that the games being played are fair. So, if you're wondering whether Bitcoin games are fair, the answer is a resounding yes! Are Bitcoin Casinos Legal? This is a question that doesn't have a straightforward answer, as the legality of Bitcoin casinos depends on your country of residence. In some countries, such as the UK, Malta, and the USA, online gambling is perfectly legal and regulated. However, in other countries, such as the UAE, online gambling is not currently legal. That being said, even in countries where online gambling is not currently legal, there are no laws specifically prohibiting the use of Bitcoin casinos. So, while the legality of Bitcoin casinos is a bit of a grey area, it's generally safe to say that they are legal in most countries. Do I have to Pay Tax on My Winnings? Again, this is a question that depends on your country of residence. In some countries, such as the UK, all gambling winnings are tax-free. However, in other countries, such as the USA, you may be required to pay taxes on your winnings. It's always a good idea to check with your local tax authority to find out what the rules are in your country. That way, you can be sure that you're paying any taxes that may be due on your winnings. How do you Gamble with Bitcoins? Gambling with Bitcoins is just like gambling with any other currency. All you need to do is find a casino that accepts Bitcoin and create an account. Then, you can deposit some funds into your account and start playing crypto casino games. When you're ready to withdraw your winnings, simply request a withdrawal from the casino and they will send the funds to your Bitcoin wallet. Withdrawals can sometimes take a few hours to process, but once they're complete, you'll be able to spend your winnings however you like. Cryptocurrency casinos and trusted bitcoin casinos strive to pay winnings as fast as possible to retain their customers longer. Are there any Legit Crypto Casinos?

This means that all deposits and withdrawals are made in cryptocurrency. Bitcoin is the most commonly accepted cryptocurrency, but there are a few casinos that also accept Ethereum, Litecoin, and other altcoins. In addition to using cryptocurrency, crypto casinos also tend to have lower fees, higher levels of security, and faster transaction times. This makes them a great option for those looking for a more efficient and secure gambling experience. Another difference is that crypto casinos often offer welcome bonuses and other promotions such as free spins that regular casinos don't always offer.

Best bitcoin casinos even offer weekly cashback based on your losses, which will extend your online bitcoin gambling experience. Finally, crypto casinos tend to have a wider variety of games than regular casinos. This is because they're not limited by the same regulations and restrictions that regular casinos have. So, if you're looking for a more diverse gaming experience, a crypto casino is the way to go.

Aver - the first fully decentralized betting and prediction exchange - launches on Solana blockchain

Aver

Aver, a Web3 betting and prediction exchange, has just launched its public beta on Solana. The public launch follows the project’s $7.5m seed round earlier this year and a successful closed-beta period in June. The project is backed by heavyweights in both the sports betting and crypto domains - including Jump, Susquehanna (SIG) and Mirana Ventures. Aver is the first project to deliver a Web3 exchange experience that rivals the latency and benefits of Web2 betting platforms such as Betfair and Matchbook, while facilitating a path to address some of the significant shortcomings of Web2 exchanges. A spokesperson for Aver explained: “Until now, crypto betting and prediction platforms have fallen into one of two categories - a centralized platform which accepts cryptocurrency as a form of funding; or an expensive and inefficient ‘Automated Market Maker’ (AMM) approach which bleeds liquidity providers and leads to uncompetitive or unsustainable pricing.” Under the Automated Market Maker approach, liquidity providers are passive and either: (a) are exposed to informed flow of traders or sudden jumps in price to their detriment; or (b) require such high margins to address this as to make the prices wildly uncompetitive. The Aver team has succeeded in solving this problem, and has implemented a full orderbook-powered solution on the blockchain (the ‘protocol layer’), with the entire process - from placing orders to matching trades, resolving events and paying out settlements - taking place without reliance on any particular organization, centralized technologies or third parties. Previous attempts at betting markets on other blockchains, such as Ethereum, have incurred high ‘gas’ costs and suffered from long transaction times, making the experience painful for the majority of users and unsustainable except in the case of high value bets. The cost of refreshing quotes or providing ‘passive’ liquidity in volatile events has meant liquidity has been sparse to non-existent. Instead, Aver is built on Solana, where transaction costs and processing times are approximately 1/1000th of that on Ethereum - making it the first on-chain betting platform which is not only viable, but rivals the user-experience of Web2 platforms. The exchange is entirely non-custodial - meaning there is no concept of ‘funds-at-rest’ or ‘fund-lock-up’ - a common feature and pain point of Web2 platforms. ​​Participants do not need to wire funds to an organization in order to participate, and capital doesn’t need to sit idle in a provider’s account - unused funds remain with the participant at all times, and winnings are immediately settled directly to participant wallets - not to a platform account. Fees captured by the protocol are anticipated to be a fraction of those in Web2 comparable. On Aver, fees are levied only when users win, at a rate ranging from just 0.5-2.0% of a trader’s profits. The platform launched a public beta on 1 July 2022, having been in closed beta for the month of June. To interact with the platform, participants will need a funded Solana wallet, though the project has plans to add further ways to on-board users from other blockchains and to add support for non-crypto-natives in the coming months. Aver is a decentralized, peer-to-peer betting exchange built on the Solana blockchain. It enables trustless trading, settlement and resolution of bets and predictions - without reliance on any individuals or third-parties.

YourUpdateTV

Technology and Lifestyle Expert, Stephanie Humphrey, partners with Affirm, THX Ltd., and VAIO to explore ways consumers can include tech into their longer summer days and nights. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/Cxp49uDveT8 The summer sun is sure to heat things up, but there’s nothing hotter than scoring the latest tech gadgets, like new computers and audio devices, to enhance the warmer months ahead. Additionally, tech makes summer travel easier to manage thanks to certain app-based services. In fact, more people plan to travel this summer with 73% of consumers taking an average of two trips. Over 148 million travel bookings are made annually, with an estimated 700 million people booking online by 2023. U.S. consumers not only rely upon tech for their travel needs, but also everyday purchases, including summer apparel, fitness, and electronics. More than one-third of people use shopping apps between two and five times a week, while 28% use them at least once a day. Technology and Lifestyle Expert, Stephanie Humphrey says whether home or vacationing, consumers can enjoy the season thanks new gear and gadgets. COMPUTER TECH: The popularity of hybrid work schedules and learning from home has increased the demand for computers over the past two years. In fact, more people are expected to work from home throughout the summer months. Humphrey says many of us have found a new life balance when it comes to work and free time, adding, “It’s estimated that more than 36 million of us will work remotely by 2025. That means we’re going to need something that fits our lifestyles.” VAIO, the premier Japanese computer brand known for exceptional quality notebooks equipped with the latest technology, expands its FE Series to offer new high-performance laptops with an impressively long battery life to work, create, game, and watch entertainment from anywhere, for longer. It's equipped with 12th Gen Intel® Core™ processors, Windows 11—and with THX® Spatial Audio—which means an immersive lifelike soundscape for enjoying all types of entertainment. The new VAIO FE laptops deliver maximum performance and immersive experiences in a slim, portable design. Humphrey says it's 10 hours of battery life and powerful computing capabilities, makes the VAIO FE Series a perfect fit for on-the-go lifestyles, especially during summer travel. For more, go to Walmart.com Direct Link: usa.vaio.com AUDIO TECH: Due to an increase in outdoor activities and travel, smartphones, smart speakers and audio devices see a spike in sales during the summer months. The technology expert points out the different ways sound can enhance everyday moments, saying, “I’m thinking about those big summer block busters, at home movie nights, and gaming experiences.” Humphrey highlights how superior sound started years ago with Film Maker, George Lucas. He wanted to get the best audio possible for the moviegoing experience, so he founded THX. Fast forward to today, the company’s first consumer product—the THX Onyx gives consumers master quality audio whether at home or on the go, offering cinematic and studio quality audio right from its laptop. Humphrey says it’s incredibly easy to use with the “Plug and play” functionality and is compatible with all mobile devices, like Windows, Mac (and iOS and Android too). The THX Onyx portable DAC amp (digital-to-analog converter) provides crystal clear audio when listening over headsets to movies, music, streaming or games from any mobile device. It can be paired especially with the VAIO laptop for a superior portable entertainment system, and it also is plug-and-play amp to upgrade your audio from any laptop or smartphone listening! For more, to Amazon.com. Direct Link: https://www.thx.com/thx-onyx Instagram: Instagram TikTok: TikTok YouTube: YouTube FINANCIAL TECH: Humphrey recommends using technology to help manage the costs of shopping this summer, saying, “I have a great way for consumers to pay at their own pace whether it’s shopping for electronics (like the VAIO laptop or THX Onyx), summer apparel, fitness or even travel.” Affirm gives people the flexibility to stay in budget when shopping for new summer tech by letting consumers pay over time, with no late or hidden fees. Humphrey adds, “You get to spread out the costs of summer tech essentials from outdoor speakers to cameras and more, at retailers like Amazon, Target, Walmart, GoPro and others.” If approved, shoppers can use Affirm to pay over time at more than 200,000 retailers in the U.S. and will never be charged more than the amount they agree to upfront. Humphrey concludes with, “This is a great way to shop your favorite stores online or in-store and pay later. You’ll see Affirm at checkout, or you can request a virtual card in the Affirm app.” Find out more at www.affirm.com.
