Finding the right balance of healthy foods to promote optimal childhood growth and development can be a challenge for many parents. Else’s plant-based toddler nutritional drink is a minimally processed product that provides vitamins, plant-based proteins, and healthy fats. With so many available foods that are low in nutritional value, this product is a welcome addition to the market.”

A: Else Plant-Based Toddler Nutrition Drink contains almond butter, buckwheat flour, tapioca maltodextrin and vitamins and minerals. It is slightly sweetened with less than 2% of sugar – significantly less than traditional offerings. Â
Q: Why are almond and buckwheat proteins better than those found in soy? Â

HADO: The Amazing Ways Augmented Reality Is Changing Sport
Now that Japanese start-up Meleap created the world’s first physical e-sport called HADO, gamers have a way to be active while competing in the digital world
HADO is an entirely new experience the company calls techno sports that uses augmented reality (AR) tech and motion sensors without requiring the player to be tethered to a gaming system, controllers, or cables
Now that Japanese start-up Meleap created the world’s first physical e-sport called HADO, gamers have a way to be active while competing in the digital world. HADO is an entirely new experience the company calls techno sports that uses augmented reality (AR) tech and motion sensors without requiring the player to be tethered to a gaming system, controllers, or cables. The company has three AR offerings, including HADO Augmented Sport (Player vs. Player), HADO Monster Battle, and HADO Shoot; they will soon add HADO Kart.
HADO: The Amazing Ways Augmented Reality Is Changing Sport
First Experience to Merge Physical Athletics with AR Technology
In HADO Augmented Sport, you can see how physical the game can be. It resembles dodgeball with players competing in an arena and flipping and bending to avoid being hit by the opposing team’s energy balls. Competitors can play 1v1, 2v2, or 3v3. Each team stays on one side of the court. The goal is to hit the other team with as many energy balls as possible to drain them of their “lives” and get points during a timed event.
Players can defend themselves with shields and barriers. If the shields get hit, they will weaken and ultimately need to be recharged. If you remember playing dodgeball, there is a lot of ducking and diving in HADO, just as there is in the traditional dodgeball game. Quick reflexes and coordination are necessary to avoid being hit. Players also have the option to alter their play characteristics to become more defensive (shields get stronger, but a slower recharge time for attacks) or offensive (quick recharge time after attacks, but shields are weaker). In addition to shield thickness and recharge speed, players can alter the bullet size. These adjustments can allow for different players on the same team to play different strategic roles in the competition.
AR of HADO
The digital experience is enabled by an AR device that players wear on their heads and a motion sensor the size of a smartphone worn on the wrist or forearm. Players are able to move unrestricted in the real environment while interacting with the digital items they can see through the AR headset. This is not a sport played in your living room, but in 60+ arenas in 15 countries that give ample space for the competition similar to other physical sports such as volleyball and basketball. AR tech is also lighter weight, so players can dive and move without feeling weighed down. The possibilities allowed through AR make applications for HADO’s e-sport virtually unlimited.
Physical Fitness with HADO
HADO requires players who are physically agile and have gaming skills as well. Players who succeed at the game will be in constant motion while diving, bending, and squatting to evade the energy balls hurled by the other team. When players shoot energy balls, they use a punching motion. Players must have great hand-eye coordination and be adept at blocking from a variety of angles. There are VR games such as Sparc and Audioshield that can help players with hand-eye coordination training required to be good at HADO.
Global Expansion
HADO has held several competitions and events in Asia, including the HADO World Cup tournament where the world’s top players compete for a cash prize and bragging rights as the HADO World Champions. There are plans to expand globally by 2020. Currently, 600,000 users have experienced HADO sports.
HADO is launching a pro AR league in Japan this year as well. Tournaments are planned every week and will award a cash prize to the winners. The first official season of the pro league begins in the third quarter of 2019.
As this new concept of e-sports gains popularity, a HADO arena might open near you, where you will be able to compete with other players locally to see what it’s all about. Until then, you can watch YouTube to see players in action.
Not only did Meleap make many childhood dreams come true with the creation of HADO and by bringing virtual and physical realms together, but they proved that AR technology and athletic sports can be combined for an entirely new experience. It will be interesting to watch as others apply these concepts to other sports competitions and use cases in a variety of industries.

Liquid Avatar launches open call for emerging artists at world’s largest comic book, fantasy and manga event
Liquid Avatar platform (www.liquidavatar.com) has partnered with Apex Comics Group (www.apexcomicsgroup.com) founder and publisher, Mariano Nicieza to present at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con @Home event
The Apex Comics Group panel will take place on Saturday, July 25, 2020 at 5 pm Pacific Time / 8 pm Eastern Time
San Diego Comic-Con is hailed as the largest attended event in San Diego annually with over 135,000 attendees in 2019 according to VisitSanDiego.com
This year’s event, celebrating 51 years, will be held virtually for the first time, bringing the event to the world
Toronto, Ontario–(June 25, 2020) – KABN Systems NA Holdings Corp. (CSE: KABN) (the “Company” or “KABN” or “KABN North America“), a Canadian Fintech company that specializes in continuous online identity verification, management and monetization, is pleased to announce that its Liquid Avatar platform (www.liquidavatar.com) has partnered with Apex Comics Group (www.apexcomicsgroup.com) founder and publisher, Mariano Nicieza to present at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con @Home event. The Apex Comics Group panel will take place on Saturday, July 25, 2020 at 5 pm Pacific Time / 8 pm Eastern Time.
San Diego Comic-Con is hailed as the largest attended event in San Diego annually with over 135,000 attendees in 2019 according to VisitSanDiego.com. This year’s event, celebrating 51 years, will be held virtually for the first time, bringing the event to the world.
KABN’s presentation during the Apex panel will focus on this week’s earlier announcement launching Liquid Avatar’s Creator program which is bringing some of the world’s leading pop culture, comic book, fantasy, anime, manga and other iconic Artists together to create Illustrator and Signature series Liquid Avatars. There is also an open call for emerging Artists to join these programs and sell one of a kind, digital series and limited runs of custom Liquid Avatars. All custom Liquid Avatars will be available in the Liquid Avatar Marketplace launching in Q3 (www.liquidavatarmarketplace.com). A select group of emerging Artists will also be commissioned to create new, free Liquid Avatar icons available in the program’s Creator Studio.
Liquid Avatars are high quality digital icons for personal or business use that emulate a user’s digital “wallet” and “keyring” allowing them to manage and control their digital identity, credentials, and valuables. Powered by KABN ID with its biometrics, including facial recognition and other security features, Liquid Avatars can be shared with 3rd parties on a permission basis to verify identity without exposing any sensitive data. There is no cost for a consumer to create or manage their Liquid Avatar account and use the platform.
With the evolving macroenvironment driving an increased amount of time spent online, KABN believes that digital identity will become more important as users look to work, play, educate, game and shop virtually and will need to protect, manage and control the use of their digital identity.
Each custom Liquid Avatar, including the Illustrator and Signature series program, will also be supported by a Digital Certificate of Authenticity (“DCA”), based on blockchain technology developed by the KABN Network. DCAs allow for the issuance, recording, management and transfer of digital assets using IBM’s Hyperledger Fabric.
“San Diego Comic-Con is a perfect place to showcase Liquid Avatars and we want to support the growing number of young, emerging artists and help them kickstart their career through the creation of custom Liquid Avatar icons,” said Ben Kessler, CEO. “Our Liquid Avatar program is positioned to give people a wide range of choices on how they want to digitally present themselves as well as manage and control their digital identity, private and public data. Embracing the professional and emerging Artist community will provide unique opportunities to showcase their work while creating new sources of revenue for themselves and KABN.”
Liquid Avatar is developing custom icons for online groups, events and conferences to create incentives for participation. Liquid Avatar also has other gamification features like badges to create recognition and rewards for attendance and participation.
KABN believes that ownership of identity is a basic human right and individuals should be the primary beneficiary of any use of their identity. KABN North America generates revenue by providing users with high value services and delivering permission-based offers that fit their aggregated public data profiles through KABN KASH and the KABN Visa Card. KABN never rents, sells or provides data to outside parties without permission and complies with jurisdictional privacy rules and regulations.
Over the coming weeks, KABN will begin its rollout of products and programs, initially on an invitation-only basis to its customers, social media, gaming and its network partners.

SPONSOR: Esports Entertainment Group(GMBL:NASDAQ) – Millions of people from around the world tune in to watch teams of video game players compete with each other. In first quarter 2020, YouTube reported 1.1 billion hours watched, an increase of 13% when compared to fourth quarter 2019. Wagering on Esports is projected to hit $23 BILLION this year although that number will likely be eclipsed due to the recent pandemic. Esports Entertainment Group is the next generation online gambling company designed for the purpose of facilitating as much of this wagering as possible. LEARN MORE.
Esports Millions will award €1 Million Jackpot to CS:GO fans
ESPORTS MILLIONS contest will award €1 million to Esports fans rather than players as they se Unikrn’s betting platform to call how CS:GO goes during the event series over the coming weeks
“Million-dollar prize pools are commonplace in esports,†he said, ‘But this is the first time esports fans could become millionaires themselves.
It’s the news that Counter-Strike: Global Offensive fans will be most excited about this summer. Esports data provider GRID and online Esports betting site Unikrn have partnered up for an Esports event with a difference.
The ESPORTS MILLIONS contest will award €1 million to Esports fans rather than players as they se Unikrn’s betting platform to call how CS:GO goes during the event series over the coming weeks. The forthcoming ‘9to5’ event will see a free-to-play live prediction game take place, with fans asked 10 questions over weeks.
Whichever fans finish in the top three places for their predictions being correct will win gaming computers. If any fan scores a flawless set of predictions, they’ll win that million Euros for being top of the ESPORTS MILLIONS.
GRID’s Chief Operating Office, Thomas Warburton, was excited to announce the project, saying:
“We aimed at encapsulating the excitement of a high stakes wager and combining it with friendly competition. As fans, we love to look at esports and contest the next breakout stars, ESPORTS MILLIONS hopes to take the significance of the fans’ opinion to a whole new level. We could not think of a better partner to help us premiere ESPORTS MILLIONS than Unikrn.â€
Unikrn’s Karl Flores, eulogized equally passionately about the collaboration.
“Million-dollar prize pools are commonplace in esports,†he said, ‘But this is the first time esports fans could become millionaires themselves. We host a hyper-engaged community of esports fans. Pairing GRID’s data-driven questions, our customers’ prowess, and our tips tools, we’re looking forward to a CS:GO fan making esports history.â€
With the ESPORTS MILLIONS event beginning on June 29th and running until September, there are going to be plenty of opportunities to call how the CS:GO events go, with teams such as North, MIBR, Godsent, Havu, fore, OG and Team Spirit taking part.
Fans winning thanks to players is a great idea and the fact that GRID and Unikrn have made this free-to-play is amazing. Fans will look forward to backing their favourites for nothing at a time when, thanks to the global Coronavirus pandemic, times might be tight. It’s sure to buy Unikrn and GRID plenty of new fans when lockdown is over and make the enforced stay at home period a lot more fun for everyone involved too.
In my latest sports Op Ed piece, I want to focus on a decision made just 24 hours ago by one of the biggest football clubs in England.
Over the past few weeks, the statements, hashtags and passionate words of many football players, managers and clubs have displayed an allegiance to the Black Lives Matter movement around the world.
The fight for racial equality, felt so strongly by black managers and players for so many years, has seemed an endless, unwinnable war in recent years. However, From the moment Bulgarian football fans gave English players abuse last year, however, there seems to have been more momentum behind the movement.
In the past few weeks, following the killing of George Floyd, sports stars such as Colin Kaepernick and Raheem Sterling and football pundits such as Ian Wright and Gary Lineker have spoken movingly on how the time for action and change is now. How black people both in sport and around the world in all walks of life deserve equality and respect, the same as anyone else.
It was always going to be a revealing point on the graph as to how much change is really happening when the first manager to lose a high-profile job was sacked and what process that football club went through in recruiting their next manager.
Sadly, on Tuesday, we found out that wasn’t very much change at all.
Yesterday morning, Middlesbrough, who have played in twelve seasons of Premier League football, as well as winning the 2004 League Cup and reaching the UEFA Cup final in 2006, sacked Jonathan Woodgate as their first-team manager.
“Jonathan was relieved of his role on Tuesday morning and will be replaced by the experienced Neil Warnock. Warnock will assume responsibility immediately. The club would like to place on record its thanks to Jonathan for all his work in the role of head coach.â€
Not only is it a minimalist statement in itself, paying no tribute to the fact that Woodgate was a former player in his first managerial position for instance, but it would appear that the Rooney Rule, which was adopted by the English football association in January 2018 and means that a quota of BAME (black and minority ethnic) candidates must be considered for roles, meant nothing to the North-East side.
Middlesbrough’s contribution to the Black Lives Matter movement on social media was this tepid effort – including their own club hashtag – which garnered just 21 retweets:
Whether Neil Warnock is the right man for the job at Middlesbrough remains to be seen. To this reporter, that’s not the issue. The point is that the first time a major club could have shown that action and change are more important than a panicked quick fix – and at 71, it’s hard to see Warnock building any kind of dynasty at The Riverside – they failed to do so.
Numerous black managers might be wondering why they weren’t considered for the position. Chris Hughton, who took both Brighton and Newcastle into the Premier League might be one of them. If he was interviewed at lunchtime between Woodgate being fired and Warnock being hired, we’d be very surprised.
Action and change? They are still just words until clubs adopt the Rooney Rule to any hired positions, whether it’s as a manager, board member, sports scientist or any other role. Black players have long been seen as vital by football fans, so why are they not allowed to progress further along the football journey once their playing careers are over?
Decisions that are made by clubs when it comes to managers hold back BAME candidates by exclusion. Neil Warnock could lose all eight games he manages for Middlesbrough and send them down. He could win all eight and be hailed a hero. He’s not at fault here, but the club who hired him are.
Did Middlesbrough include BAME candidates in their process? How long between Jonathan Woodgate’s dismissal and Neil Warnock was there? These questions need to be asked and more importantly answered for those who speak of change to stick by their words and make a new future where everyone is treated equally.
If action and change really aren’t just words but have genuine meaning, then they should apply to every managerial role at the very least and at any club, including Middlesbrough Football Club.

Using the free ImagineAR app, grads are recording themselves in their homes accepting diplomas from Broward Schools Superintendent Robert Runcie, joining international music superstar Flo Rida for a congratulatory message or dancing with either one of them-and instantly sharing the videos on social media
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla, June 15, 2020 - Broward Education Foundation teamed up with ImagineAR Inc. (CSE: IP) (OTCQB: IPNFF) to create #2020gradsecret – an immersive augmented reality (AR) mobile experience for students graduating from Broward County Public Schools. Using the free ImagineAR app, grads are recording themselves in their homes accepting diplomas from Broward Schools Superintendent Robert Runcie, joining international music superstar Flo Rida for a congratulatory message or dancing with either one of them-and instantly sharing the videos on social media. The interactive AR videos make it appear that Superintendent Runcie and Flo Rida are inside the graduate’s actual home. This AR experience has never been done before and is truly groundbreaking. Â
“This futuristic ImagineAR augmented reality technology is a trip,” said Flo Rida. “I’m happy to help these graduates define a new way of celebrating and social interaction as they move on to the next chapter in their young lives.”
“In these unprecedented times of quarantining and social distancing, Broward Education Foundation wanted to make the Class of 2020’s graduation a very special and memorable experience,” said Shea Ciriago, executive director of Broward Education Foundation. “Keeping the #2020gradsecret launch under wraps for a month and a half has been a challenge because our grads are making history!”
An AR industry leader, ImagineAR’s advanced technology and free mobile app allows students to move, talk and interact with AR images of Superintendent Runcie and Flo Rida. The AR experiences are geo-targeted only to Broward County and grads choose from four customizable interactive experiences.
“ImagineAR’s mobile app allows graduates to view and record their own diploma presentation using AR. It literally looks like the Superintendent or Flo Rida are right next to these graduates, whether they’re in their living rooms, back yards or anywhere,” said Alen Paul Silverrstieen, CEO and president of ImagineAR. “We were thrilled to partner with Broward Education Foundation to bring this immersive technology to life- for the first-time ever and- for Broward’s graduating seniors.”
In addition to the custom immersive experiences, using the ImagineAR app, grads can point their phones at the #2020gradsecret social media sign to launch a very special video message from NBA legend and longtime Miami Heat superstar Dwyane Wade. Each of the more than 18,000 graduating seniors received a special Class of 2020 sign with their cap and gown packages, courtesy of Broward Education Foundation’s legacy partner and longtime supporter BrightStar Credit Union.
Dustin Jacobs, VP of marketing for BrightStar Credit Union said “Graduating from high school is an important right-of-passage. It’s very exciting to help Broward’s seniors experience it a whole new way.”
Metro Group Miami CEO Bruno Dede also has a long-standing relationship with Broward Education Foundation and stated “When the Foundation placed an order for graduation banners, we started brainstorming about social media signs and a lightbulb went off. I immediately connected them with ImagineAR, Flo Rida and Dwyane Wade.”
“Bruno set the wheels in motion and we ran with it,” said Pejay Ryan, director of marketing for Broward Education Foundation. “Since something like this has never, ever been done before, we created our own AR launch roadmap. We designed social media signs, QR codes, 2020gradsecret.com website, instructions, and crafted scripts and copy. With the help of the great team at BECON, we directed and shot the green screen footage of Mr. Runcie and Flo Rida for the AR content available only in Broward County with the ImagineAR app.”
Broward County Public Schools graduates are encouraged to post their videos on social media tagging their school and #2020GradSecret. One student in each of the four AR experience categories will be awarded $200 from Broward Education Foundation in a “who did it best” contest.
“When Broward Education Foundation proposed this idea that would allow students to video themselves receiving their diploma and more, in their own homes, it occurred to me how truly great things are often born from challenging situations,” said Broward Schools Superintendent Robert Runcie. “This technology is mind-blowing. Thank you to Broward Education Foundation, ImagineAR, BrightStar Credit Union, MetroGroup Miami and Think First Consulting Group for making the #2020gradsecret a reality.”
About Broward Education Foundation: The nonprofit Broward Education Foundation aligns with Broward County Public Schools by providing grants for teachers who develop innovative curriculum that increases student outcomes; vitally needed school supplies for students and teachers in Title I schools; scholarships for qualified high school seniors; and support for programs and initiatives like Debate, Scholastic Chess, TurnAround Arts, STEM and more. Each year, Broward Education Foundation contributes more than $3 million to Broward County schools, serving as the catalyst for educational excellence.
In 2018, and responding to the Stoneman Douglas High School tragedy, Broward Education Foundation initiated a GoFundMe, established the official Stoneman Douglas Victims’ Fund and raised $10.5M for victims’ families, survivors and those impacted. Broward Education Foundation is proven agile, adept and responsive to shifting needs in education and our community.
