The Association of Pickleball Players ( APP ) has announced a groundbreaking partnership with Universal Tennis, the global market-leading racket sports technology and events company. The agreement sees Universal Tennis become the APP's official and exclusive ratings partner, providing deep experience of racquet sports ratings systems and analysis to all levels of APP players and events — from elite professionals, amateurs and recreational players, to Next Gen, seniors, and super seniors.

Universal Tennis is harnessing its renowned expertise and technology solutions to offer innovative technology solutions for pickleball players, enabling them to have one home for all their pickleball needs including ratings, leagues, matchplay, tournaments, and more. Universal Tennis has launched the UTR Pickleball Rating (UTRP) to rate players on a scale of P1 (beginner), P2 (intermediate), P3 (advanced), or P4 (expert/professional). Using results from the APP, Universal Tennis will continue refining the algorithm and eventually adopt a numerical decimal rating similar to tennis for higher-level pickleball players.

Fun learning platform Kidovo raises $1.2M funding round to provide personalised interactive learning to every child

Kidovo

The next generation of children are growing up with digital devices all around them. As a result, they’re spending increasing amounts of time on these devices in passive consumption of content which is leading to a range of development issues. In addressing this pressing concern, fun learning platform Kidovo is today launching with a $1.2 million seed funding round to provide every child (2-8 years old) with personalised interactive learning. The funding round saw participation from Venture Highway, Amplify PCC, Good Capital, & prominent angels including Ashish Singhal from Coinswitch among others. Using interactivity, Kidovo is aiming to turn passive consumption into active participation from kids, which helps avoid many of the problems prevalent today with kids’ screen time. Kidovo was founded by Sameer Goyal, ex Amazon & AWS engineer, and Rahul Bhatnagar, ex Uber, Cubical Labs, Amazon. They met while beginning their careers at Amazon over a decade ago. Together, they have a combined experience of over 20 years in the tech industry. “When Rahul reached out to me, about building an interactive learning platform for kids, I was sure something like this must exist. But I was surprised to see very few options for such content. Further, we both realised the massive size of this problem. This affects most of the kids on the entire planet. We started researching the space and found that there is a massive opportunity to build better learning experiences for kids using the latest technology.” said Sameer Goyal, co-founder of Kidovo. “We’ve been testing the early versions of the product with a small group of about 60 families as part of our co-builder program since December 2022. While we have been constantly improving the product based on feedback from that program, the platform has already grown to serve 4000 registered families. Further, as a testament to our team’s commitment to improving kids’ learning experience and safety, we have already received kidSAFE COPPA+ certification as well as a 5 star certification from educational app store in just 6 months since our platform accepted its first external user. We are now confident in serving more users on our platform and have begun rolling out our paid subscription plans.” Recent studies have suggested that kids spend about an hour everyday on Youtube. With shortage of workers in the childcare industry, increasingly these devices are the child’s nanny ( Source ). Further, since generation alpha is the first generation to grow up around digital devices, parents are increasingly finding it difficult to limit screen time without access to other sources of more meaningful & productive entertainment for children. The American academy of Pediatrics recommends for children 2 to 5 years of age to limit use to 1 hour per day of high-quality programming, while parents co-view & help children understand the content and help them apply what they learn ( Source ). Kidovo is designed to provide children with a digital playmate, who would fulfil the above responsibilities when a parent is unavailable to do so. “We found that existing interactive solutions were too focussed on academic outcomes & hence were unable to engage the child over a long period of time. Further, they lacked the variety of content that would support children as they explore different areas of interest. Therefore, we decided to work together with the best kids content creators and empower them with interactive tools to make more engaging content.” said Rahul Bhatnagar, co-founder of Kidovo. Since children are spending increasing amounts of time on digital devices, the time they spend practising speaking has gone down leading to speech delay problems. The team has devised an innovative approach to get kids to speak while learning on their platform. One of the forms of interactivity on the platform is where kids are asked questions from the content and they need to speak to answer and get real time feedback almost as if there’s a real life tutor with them. The owl mascot, Ovo, also involves kids in casual conversation to help them build confidence to express themselves. Kidovo not only helps children with healthier screen time options, but also helps parents participate in their children’s learning journeys. The platform offers parents key moments they might have missed from their kids’ activity on the platform, they can hear their kids speak, see what they drew. Further, parents are offered tips on activities & discussions that they can engage in with their kids based on their activity on the platform. Kidovo plans to use this investment to move closer to their vision of empowering every child worldwide to reach their full potential through personalised, immersive, and engaging experiences that make learning fun and accessible. About Kidovo Kidovo is a fun learning app providing personalised, interactive learning for kids between 2-8 years of age. Kidovo curates content from the best kids' content creators like SciShow Kids, Kiboomers, Learning Mole and many more and adds fun educational activities where children tap on the screen, respond with their voice, and even colour on the screen. Kidovo's mascot, Ovo, the owl will be kids’ digital buddy, and engage and talk with them. Kidovo shows parents what their kids are learning using their child's audio, coloring sheets and much more.

Cosa devi sapere sui casinò non AAMS I casinò non AAMS sono siti di gioco d'azzardo online che operano al di fuori del sistema di regolamentazione dell’ex Amministrazione Autonoma dei Monopoli di Stato, oggi conosciuta come ADM (Agenzia Dogane e Monopoli). Negli ultimi anni hanno guadagnato molto successo perché consentono ai giocatori residenti in Italia di accedere a cataloghi di gioco molto più ampi e a bonus promozionali decisamente più vantaggiosi. Perché giocare sui casinò non AAMS con Skrill? Skrill è uno dei primi metodi di pagamento scelti dai giocatori dei casinò non AAMS per svariati motivi. Questo portafoglio elettronico consente, infatti, di effettuare trasferimenti istantanei e gratuiti godendo di elevatissimi sistemi di sicurezza. Un conto Skrill, inoltre, permette di avere il pieno controllo dei propri fondi e di depositare sulle piattaforme di gioco senza alcun limite. Si tratta, perdipiù, di un’applicazione semplice e intuitiva, adatta a qualsiasi categoria di giocatore. Pro e Contro dei casinò non AAMS Come ogni cosa, i casinò non AAMS hanno i loro pro e i loro contro, le ragioni che li rendono convenienti e i motivi che possono portarti a essere diffidente. Vediamoli insieme. Pro Sicurezza e legalità Enorme catalogo di giochi Possibilità di provare slot in anteprima Bonus e promozioni generosi Minori restrizioni Massima privacy Assistenza tecnica sempre disponibile Nessuna tassazione sui prelievi diretti Contro I giochi non sono sempre disponibili in lingua italiana Non è possibile attivare l’autoesclusione Bonus nei casinò senza licenza italiana I casinò senza licenza italiana offrono una vasta gamma di bonus e promozioni pensati per attirare e premiare i giocatori. I più gettonati sono sicuramente i bonus di ricarica, ma ci sono anche moltissime offerte che includono free spin. Per gli utenti già registrati, è comune trovare altre forme di cashback sulle giocate. Vediamo insieme i bonus più comuni sui casinò non AAMS. Bonus senza deposito Il giocatore ottiene un bonus benvenuto senza dover effettuare un deposito: basta convalidare il gioco inviando un documento in corso di validità. I bonus senza deposito dei casinò non AAMS possono comprendere free spin e fun bonus da usare su determinati giochi o nella sezione scommesse. Bonus di benvenuto I bonus benvenuto dei casinò non AAMS consistono in un cashback del 100% sul primo deposito. Il limite massimo può variare in base alla piattaforma, ma in genere puoi aspettarti bonus di benvenuto fino a 500 €. In casi come quello di Stelario, hai a disposizione più opzioni, in modo da trovare sempre quello che cerchi. Bonus di ricarica Questo tipo di bonus può essere di 2 tipi: Bonus sulle ricariche successive alla prima (di solito le prime 3). È riservato anch’esso ai nuovi utenti e spalma su un periodo di 1-3 mesi bonus anche molto alti, ma legati a un certo numero di ricariche e a requisiti ben precisi. Bonus sulle ricariche settimanali. Questo tipo di offerta è, di solito, pensata per i giocatori già fidelizzati, che hanno la possibilità di ottenere bonus extra in base al volume di giocata settimanale. Free spin La gran parte dei casinò non AAMS abbina i free spin ai bonus di benvenuto della sezione Casinò, fornendo così ai nuovi iscritti la possibilità di provare le slot in modalità soldi veri ma senza spendere i propri. Le vincite ottenute dai free spin sono prelevabili, ma è necessario generare un certo volume di giocata, che generalmente va da x35 a x40. Cashback Anche questo bonus è solitamente pensato per gli utenti già iscritti e consiste in un rimborso delle giocate perdenti, con una percentuale variabile da casinò a casinò. Il cashback viene spesso legato alle scommesse sportive, ma è possibile trovare anche offerte che includono un cashback settimanale per le slot. Programma VIP I casinò non AAMS spesso offrono programmi VIP esclusivi per i giocatori più attivi, i quali vengono premiati con offerte e privilegi di vario tipo. Questi includono non soltanto bonus personalizzati e free spin, ma anche assistenza dedicata e inviti a eventi speciali. Come la legge sul gioco d’azzardo ha cambiato il mercato italiano Nel 2018, il primo governo Conte ha introdotto una nuova legislazione in materia di gioco d’azzardo. Per contrastare la ludopatia, infatti, ai casinò online in Italia è stato vietato di farsi pubblicità e inviare comunicazioni di marketing. Ciò ha portato, tra 2019 e 2020, il 19% in più di utenti verso i casinò non AAMS, la cui attrattiva principale, oltre all’enorme lista di giochi, è legata alla tassazione sulle vincite, di cui parleremo nel prossimo paragrafo. Commissioni e tasse quando giochi nei casinò non AAMS I casinò non AAMS, come già accennato, offrono ai propri utenti una grande varietà di metodi di pagamento. Sia per quel che riguarda i sistemi tradizionali che quelli elettronici, inoltre, non è prevista alcuna commissione. Tutti i trasferimenti, infatti, nella maggior parte dei casi sono completamente gratuiti. A questo fanno eccezione soltanto i bonifici bancari, i quali possono richiedere il pagamento di tasse che dipendono esclusivamente dall’istituto bancario di riferimento. Domande e risposte più comuni sui giochi nei casinò stranieri I casinò stranieri non AAMS sono sicuri? Sebbene non detengano licenza ADM (ex AAMS), i casinò stranieri sono spesso comunque regolamentati da autorità di rilievo internazionale quali la Malta Gaming Authority o Curacao. Ciò rende queste piattaforme sicure anche se non riconosciute dallo Stato italiano. I casinò stranieri non AAMS sono esentasse? Tecnicamente sì, ma in realtà no. I prelievi sui casinò stranieri senza licenza italiana non vengono tassati, in quanto tali siti non sono soggetti alle leggi italiane. Tuttavia, le vincite sopra i 500 € vanno inserite nella Dichiarazione dei Redditi, quindi viene applicata un’aliquota tra il 15 e il 25%, in base allo scaglione Irpef. Come posso giocare in sicurezza sui casinò non AAMS? Per avere la certezza che il casinò straniero non AAMS scelto sia 100% sicuro, è bene controllare che disponga di licenza MGA o Curacao, che lo rende legale all’interno dell’Unione Europea. Perché usare Skrill sui casinò non AAMS? Skrill dispone di crittografia a 128 bit e tecnologia SSL, quindi le tue transazioni godono di massima privacy. Inoltre, i prelievi non vengono effettuati direttamente dal tuo conto in banca, ma tramite una ricarica del tuo conto Skrill. Quali giochi sono disponibili sui casinò non AAMS? I casinò stranieri non AAMS consentono ai giocatori italiani di provare i giochi più nuovi e innovativi prima ancora che vengano rilasciati in Italia. Queste piattaforme includono software di un gran numero di provider, tra cui nomi di rilievo nel settore, come Evolution e NetEnt, quindi hai accesso ad un catalogo pressoché infinito. I casinò stranieri non AAMS sono accessibili dall’Italia? Sebbene la loro licenza europea li renda legali, i casinò stranieri potrebbero essere oscurati in Italia. Tuttavia, usare una VPN ovvia facilmente a tale ostacolo in modo molto semplice, anche perché il servizio VPN oggi è disponibile in molti antivirus.

Summer Road Trip Maintenance Guide

YourUpdateTV

Road trips are a great way to get out there and explore this summer. And while it’s certainly fun to make unexpected pit stops at roadside attractions along the way, the last thing you want to do is make an unexpected stop because of a problem with your vehicle. Recently, ASE Certified Mechanic, Audra Fordin, partnered with Chevron to discuss some simple tips to help save you time, inconvenience, and money this summer. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: Before hitting the road, remember to polish your headlights. Headlights used to be made out of glass, but nowadays they are made from plastic which can be easily oxidized from the sun, causing a haze to form over the light that can reduce your visibility. If you see cataracts starting to form on your headlights, give them a quick polish. You can find easy headlight restoration kits available at your local auto store or online. Also make sure to check your tires. If you see any bulges, tears or cracks, replace them immediately to avoid a potential blow out. Most tires typically last 3 to 5 years so if yours are in that span or older (you can check the manufacturer’s date on the side of the tire), it’s time to replace them. And of course, check your oil. If you know you’re due for an oil change, have it changed. If you’re unsure, you can always check your oil dipstick – if the oil doesn’t reach about the “add” line or is dark and not golden in color, it’s time to replace it before you leave. Audra recommends Havoline® LIFELONG Full Synthetic Motor Oil, which delivers outstanding performance at any stage in a vehicle’s life, whether you’re driving something new or something with over 75,000 miles on it. It also comes in Havoline’s recyclable Smart Change packaging, reducing plastic waste by 70% compared to traditional quart bottles. In addition, Havoline ® PRO-RSTM Renewable Full Synthetic Motor Oil, is a top-tier, renewable full synthetic motor oil that includes 25% sustainably sourced plant-based oils. It’s the best performing full synthetic oil in the Havoline portfolio and offers superior fuel economy retention to help save on fuel costs. One other great – and easy - fuel saving tip is to use Techron Complete Fuel System Cleaner. It’s a fuel additive that will deep clean and protect your entire fuel system, optimize engine performance, and maximize fuel economy to save more with every pour. All you have to do is just pour it into your gas tank once a season before you hit the road and you’re ready to go! Visit www.havoline.com or www.techronclean.com for more information and be sure to check out www.Walmart.com and select Walmart stores for Havoline and Techron products. About Audra Fordin Audra Fordin is an ASE Certified mechanic and fourth generation shop owner at Great Bear Auto in Flushing, New York. As a small business owner, PTA mom and girl scout troop leader, Audra knows how to juggle family life, run a fully staffed, successful auto repair shop and is determined to teach women across the country how to do their own automotive maintenance, which is why she’s also the founder of Women Auto Know and Drivers Auto Know, engaging and hands on workshops where drivers of all skill levels learn how to “pop open the hood and do it themselves.” Audra has made appearances on Ryan and Kelly, Rachel Ray, the Today Show, Inside Edition, and CNN, among several local news appearances, to share car care tips with millions of viewers.

Living with Myasthenia Gravis: The Rare Autoantibody Disease That Causes Muscle Weakness and Severe Fatigue

YourUpdateTV

A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/-FuYn9PdBdI What would you do if you began to have symptoms of drooping eyelids and difficulty speaking? A rare and unfamiliar condition that turned to a daily struggle to chew, swallow, smile, see, or even lift your arms, legs, and neck. That is what happened to Meridith O’Connor at the age of 13 and after two long years of doctor visits, she was finally diagnosed with myasthenia gravis, also known as MG. Myasthenia gravis is a chronic autoantibody condition of the nervous system that affects muscle strength and makes everyday activities like standing, blinking, swallowing, and moving your arms challenging. MG is a highly debilitating rare disease for which there currently is no cure. As many as 60,000 Americans, and 700,000 people worldwide are living with the condition. June is Myasthenia Gravis Awareness Month, which provides an opportunity for people around the world to recognize the impact of MG. On June 26th a media tour was conducted with Meridith O’Connor, Assistant Vice President of Patient Engagement, Advocacy, and Policy for the Myasthenia Gravis Foundation of America (MGFA), and Dr. Nicholas Silvestri, an associate professor of neurology at the University at Buffalo Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, to learn the latest on the disease and how it affects those living with it. Approximately 85% of people living with MG experience the more extensive form of the disease, generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG). MG affects both men and women and occurs across all ages and racial and ethnic groups. However, it most commonly impacts young adult women and older men. Diagnosis is often a long, frustrating, and painful journey for patients. This is because muscle weakness is a common symptom of many disorders, and symptoms can fluctuate. Patients often face months or years of untreated symptoms before they receive an accurate diagnosis, which is why they are often diagnosed at an older age. Despite availability of treatment options, significant unmet need persists, as up to 20% of patients do not respond to existing treatments and are left with no effective therapeutic options. Research is needed to develop new treatments for those who may not respond well and/or tolerate current therapies.
