JefeBet

JefeBet, the premier gambling and multimedia company for bilingual and Spanish-speaking Americans, operated by Fifth Street Gaming (FSG), today announced the renovation and rebrand of the Lucky Club Casino and Hotel in North Las Vegas.

We can’t wait to get to work.” “With 44 percent of our city’s population identifying as Latino, we’re thrilled to see an already established business providing entertainment created with such a large portion of our residents in mind,” said John Jay Lee, Mayor of North Las Vegas. “We anticipate the JefeBet Casino and Hotel to be a wonderful addition to our community.” Operations at 3227 Civic Center Dr. in North Las Vegas, Nevada, will aim to commence by the end of the year.

Aqua Cultured Foods Unveils Alt-Seafood Dumpling Fillings for Asian Food Go-to-Market Partners

AquaCultured Foods

Food tech startup Aqua Cultured Foods today announced it has developed a minced dumpling filling for its future go-to-market partners specializing in Asian foods including retail and foodservice distributors. One filling option uses Aqua’s alternative shrimp in a bulk, unseasoned format for partners to customize their preparations, which then can be packaged and co-branded. Whether they’re called mandu, jiaozi, or gyoza, dumplings are a dietary staple in countries like South Korea, China and Japan—as beloved as burgers are to North Americans. The global market for frozen dumplings was $5.825 billion U.S. in 2020, and is expected to rise to more than $10 billion by the end of 2027. Traditionally dumplings may be filled with meats, seafood, tofu, and/or vegetables. While Aqua’s R&D focus has been on whole-muscle cut, sushi-quality filets with the same visual appeal of high-grade fish, dumplings can use off-cuts, trims and less than visually perfect filets for minced fillings. Achieving the proper size and texture for filling can also be done economically at scale in large batches, and requires less fermentation time. “We’re glad our partners challenged us to work on dumplings, and lucky to have their guidance through the process of perfecting the taste and filling for Asian palates,” said Aqua chief growth officer Brittany Chibe. “I’m especially happy that this product moves us closer to zero-waste by finding use for our off-cuts, with the added bonus that it’s very efficient to make in volumes appropriate for foodservice.” Interest around Aqua’s minced fillings is not limited to dumplings, nor to shrimp. Other alt-seafood varieties are likely to follow for applications including spicy tuna sushi rolls, seafood cakes/patties, ravioli and cannelloni, and others. Aqua is developing mycoprotein-based calamari, shrimp, scallops, and filets of animal-free tuna and whitefish with a realistic taste and texture. Aqua’s fermentation methods do not use any animal inputs, genetic altering or modification, and can be marketed as non-GMO. Unlike plant-based processed foods formulated with starches and protein isolates, Aqua’s alt-seafood retains its naturally occurring fiber, protein, and other micronutrients. Aqua has recently showcased its alt-seafood for current and prospective partners representing Europe, Asia, and North America. Public tasting events will gauge consumer acceptance later this year with select restaurant partners, followed by in-market product introductions via strategic partners in 2023. ‎About Aqua Cultured Foods Aqua Cultured Foods is an innovative food technology startup developing the world’s first whole-muscle cut seafood alternatives created through microbial fermentation. Its novel technology produces a sustainable, complete protein source using only a fraction of the resources required by traditional aquaculture. As an R&D company with a focus on product commercialization, Aqua Cultured Foods occupies a unique position in the burgeoning alt-seafood market as well as within the fermentation industry. The company’s mission is to mitigate global challenges such as overfishing, climate change and feeding the world’s expanding population with delicious, nutrient-rich foods. Investors include Supply Change Capital, Aera VC, HPA, Sustainable Food Ventures, Hanfield Venture Partners, Lifely VC, Conscience VC, Kingfisher Capital, Big Idea Ventures, and Gonzalo Ramirez Martiarena.

The national legislature and federal government appeared uninterested, leaving its success to a doubtful judiciary system.

India's gambling sector continued to be dominated by lotteries and turf clubs, in addition to Goa's river casinos and prospective casino developments in Daman and Diu. Many online gambling businesses and gambling sites in India, their attorneys, and policy experts felt that a formal response was necessary in order to address the enormous quantities of unlawful cricket betting and the increasing popularity of formerly niche games such as poker and rummy. Bitcoin and cryptocurrency casinos have thus been created as a result of this. They are seen as the natural progression of online gambling, which has continued to grow in popularity in India. Bitcoin casinos offer the same games as regular online casinos, but they also offer the opportunity to gamble with Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Cryptocurrency casinos are a relatively new phenomenon, but they are growing in popularity. India is home to a large number of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency users, and Bitcoin casinos are a natural fit for the Indian market. Bitcoin and cryptocurrency casinos offer a number of advantages over regular online casinos. They are seen as more trustworthy, because they use transparent Bitcoin blockchain technology. Bitcoin casinos also offer lower fees and faster payouts than regular online casinos. Betbeard Sports Betting Deposit Bonus India When it comes to online betting, bonuses are always a major draw.

TULU Topping Up Series A Funding Round with Strategic Investments from Leonardo DiCaprio-Backed VC

Tulu

TULU, a smart tech platform that provides building tenants with on-demand access to hundreds of brand name appliances, grocery staples, micro-mobility solutions, and entertainment devices, is rapidly expanding across real estate markets, while more and more global brands feature their products on the platform to get unique access to millennial and Gen-Z consumers. The new funds will fuel rapidly-growing partnerships with leading property owners and consumer brands, to enhance geographic expansion and data capabilities and unleash environmental and circular consumption initiatives across its global areas of operation. Companies such as Bosch, Kärcher, Hoover, and Dremel are partnering with TULU to gain genuine customer insights, expand their physical and digital exposure with new consumers, and collect valuable data about their products and user behaviors, while leading landlords like Greystar Real Estate Partners, Brookfield Asset Management, Invesco, RXR Realty, Silverstein Properties, and CA Ventures integrate the TULU platform in their buildings to elevate the living experiences they offer. Since launching in 2019, TULU has served more than 70,000 people across 19 cities in the United States, United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Germany, Spain, and Israel. “In the last year, we’ve seen a tremendous demand for our service and have exponentially expanded our portfolio globally. TULU has becomeS a standard for hundreds of communities world-wide and an industry benchmark, making it the leading global vehicle in powering the Usage Economy.” says Yishai Lehavi, Chief Executive Officer and co-founder of TULU. “We are excited to see that, even in these days of change in the markets, there is still a high demand to support ambitious transformative ideas like the ones we execute in TULU. Beyond the impact of reshaping consumption habits on the demand side, we believe that the long-term impact will come from the supply side. Manufacturers and brands need to adjust to the Usage Economy, which incentivizes them to build long-lasting products instead of the shorter product lifetimes of today’s Buying Economy.” TULU provides on-demand rentals of high-quality home products, household items and perishables to reduce the cost of living and waste in big cities. Using nothing more than a wall in a building’s lobby, tenant lounge, laundry room, or bike room, TULU’s IoT-based units provide 24/7 access to a variety of brand-name products including vacuums, VR headsets, e-scooters, bikes, and necessary household supplies. Units are customized to each building’s needs and core tenant base, where users rent or purchase products through the TULU app. TULU was recently listed by Retail Insider as a “Top Digital Retail Global Innovation” alongside products of companies such as Google, Meta, and Nike, and is quickly expanding to keep up with strong demand for its service. Four months after closing its series A round, TULU is now announcing additional funding led by Regeneration.VC, a consumer-powered climate innovation fund backed by actor Leonardo DiCaprio, with the participation of Proptech VC Trifare, UMTB, and existing investors New Era Capital Partners, Bosch VC arm, Round Hill Ventures, Tal Ventures, AGP Partners, and Good Company. This additional funding will allow TULU to pursue new partnerships with landlords and brands, with a goal to reach hundreds of new buildings in existing and additional markets over the next year. Additionally, the company will execute its environmental strategy that considers property and product level emissions data, product life extension, sharing of consumer products, and much more. “Nearly half of Greenhouse Gas Emissions derive from producing and consuming consumer goods and much of our individual consumption occurs from the things we use within our homes - from manufacturing and packaging to shipping and returns,” says Yael Shemer, Chief Customer Officer and co-founder of TULU. “We aim to provide an infrastructure to create an alternative mode of consumption that will replace the owner mindset. We’re transforming our homes from individual buying units to a collective sharing unit.” “Next-generation consumers are driving a transition towards circular consumption and shared usage economies with more than half of consumers indicating a willingness to rent rather than buy,”says Michael Smith, General Partner of Regeneration.VC. “With TULU, we see a massive opportunity to improve resource efficiency within buildings by increasing the utilization of products over their lifecycle and decreasing the quantity of goods needed to service a building. TULU has the potential to significantly reduce embodied emissions as well as materials, energy, and water consumption associated with product manufacturing.” About TULU TULU is the usage economy platform and amenity services provider to over 50,000 people in 19 cities across the United States, United Kingdom, Europe and Israel. Founded in 2019, TULU provides building tenants with on-demand access to hundreds of brand name appliances, grocery staples, micro-mobility and entertainment devices, and more.

Understanding Hearing Loss: Don’t Miss Out on Hearing the Moments that Matter Most

YourUpdateTV

Untreated hearing loss not only disconnects you from family, friends, and work, it exposes you to higher risk of dementia, depression, memory loss, injury, and cognitive decline. Recently, licensed audiologist, Dr. Cliff Olson, conducted a satellite media tour to talk about hearing loss and the importance of addressing it from a trusted healthcare professional. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/xgXK9jvhssc Hearing loss is a major health issue, around the world and in the U.S. The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders estimates that 1 in 8 Americans aged 12 or older — about 30 million people — has lost some hearing in both ears. While men are almost twice as likely as women to having hearing loss, it is an issue that is often unaddressed or undertreated by many. In fact, according to the National Institutes of Health, ~ 37.5 million adults report some trouble hearing and an estimated 28.8 million U.S. adults with mild to severe hearing loss could benefit from hearing aids. Too often, people delay seeking care. There are several reasons individuals may delay addressing hearing loss, including: Recognizing and accepting that one may have hearing loss Typical symptoms of hearing loss include having trouble hearing people on the phone, turning up the TV volume, becoming tired from listening and hearing and being able to understand conversations when there’s background noise. Access to HCPs, and misperceptions associated with hearing aids. Hearing aids have evolved so much, so the good news is that: Hearing aids are totally different now with new and improved tech features. Users are getting younger…with average purchase age dropping from 68 to 60. The time people are waiting to purchase hearing aids has dropped to 4 years…not the 6 or 7 years it used to take. Users rarely or never feel embarrassed they wear hearing aids. That’s because they look so cool and do so many great things to connect you to your world. In fact, user satisfaction with hearing aids has increased significantly in the past 20+ years…from 58% to 83%. Hearing speech in noisy environments is still a challenge for people with hearing loss. In fact, 80% of people who wear hearing aids describe hearing in noise as a key challenge. (MarketTrak 2019) The newest hearing aid from GN, ReSound OMNIA, addresses the No.1 hearing aid challenge – hearing speech in noise. ReSound OMNIA allows people to hear and connect with the world naturally, thanks to an outstanding 150% improvement in speech understanding.
