Snapchat Releases New Teen Safety Measures

YourUpdateTV

A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/7Hv0EHNRJ_g The digital world can be a challenge to navigate, and helping keep teens safe online is not just a priority—it’s a necessity. Snapchat is working to make its app even safer—now expanding a range of features to help keep Snapchat a place where people can be comfortable expressing themselves with the friends they know in real life. These extra protections for young people are more than a tech upgrade—they’re part of Snapchat’s ongoing commitment to building tools to help users connect with friends in a safe, secure way. Rachel Hochhauser, Snap’s Head of Safety Operations Outreach, conducted a nationwide media tour on June 25th to discuss these new features. Topics and features she discussed included: · Expanded In-app Warnings Teens will now see a warning message if they receive a chat from someone who’s been blocked or reported by others or is from a region where the teen’s network isn't typically located – signs that the person may be a stranger. · Simplified Location-Sharing Expansion of reminders to make sure Snapchatters are always up to date on which friends they’re sharing their location with on the Snap Map. · Enhanced Friending Protections These protections prevent certain suspicious friend requests from getting to teens in the first place, further reducing teens’ ability to connect with people they may not know in real life. · Blocking Improvements Improvements aim to prevent bullying and repeated harassment by limiting outreach from any new accounts created by someone who’s been blocked.

DOGE’s Rebound Attempt Fails, Amid Raboo’s Dominating Price Action Surpassing Rival Coin Pepe

Total Media

The cryptocurrency market is expanding, but so is the volatility. On one hand we have Dogecoin on a bullish trend, on the other hand we have Pepe on a bearish trend. Raboo, a new AI meme coin has appeared with loads of amazing features. Raboo is still in its presale and has raised over $1.6 million, which is very impressive. Analysts expect the Initial Coin Offering (ICO) to grow 233% during presale and 100x on launch day. Keep reading to find out more. DOGE attempts to validate bullish pattern Dogecoin is presently trading in a bullish wave. But the coin may not be able to maintain the pattern to start meaningful price climb, if investors do not take control. The dynamics around DOGE are being keenly watched by the market. This is because changes in its price could have an impact on the altcoin market as a whole. The distribution of Dogecoin's supply among its holders is showing a noticeable shift, which could lead to additional declines in the meme coin's price that'll be presented on a daily chart. The shift in ownership of DOGE mid- and long-term investors to short-term holders raises questions over the stability of the altcoin price. The amount of DOGE held by short-term holders has increased significantly over the last month. It has increased from 10.5 billion DOGE to 13.4 billion DOGE. This noteworthy expansion emphasizes the growing tendency toward short-term trading activity, which may increase market volatility. Pepe: bulls struggle to recover from downward trend Pepe is down by 27% from its all time high in May this year, however, some traders think the coin could become victorious, especially if Bitcoin’s BTC/USD performance picks up. A recent deal was released by Binance, for cryptocurrency users who want to earn PEPE coins simply by buying and holding PEPE for increased interest rates. Users can get rewards if they send at least $0.01 using Binance Pay for the first time. With this promotion, cryptocurrency users can win up to 100 million PEPE coins. The price of PEPE coins has been dropping lately. PEPE saw a 7.84% decrease in value following the announcement of Binance Pay's offer. Investors are switching to Raboo since the PEPE coin price prediction does not yet present any advantages. Satoshi, a popular crypto analyst, detailed in a tweet the wave patterns he observed on the Pepe chart and predicted a wave of 3 candles. He also suggested that there might be a mirror wave 2 retracement before the green candle happens. The altcoin price still has a chance of going bullish and even breaking it all time high. But only patient enough investors will witness this. Raboo grabs investors attention with 100x potential Raboo ($RABT) is a popular new meme coin that is making waves in the market as an Initial Coin Offering (ICO), demonstrating why ICOs are fantastic avenues for making investments. Raboo's initial coin offering (ICO) offers investors the opportunity to participate in cutting-edge initiatives from the very beginning. By incorporating artificial intelligence to improve user engagement and content creation, Raboo sets itself apart from other meme coins. Raboo stands out in the competitive meme coin market thanks to its AI-driven strategy, which also highlights the company's potential for significant expansion and influence in the cryptocurrency field. By taking part in the Raboo presale, investors will become a part of a ground-breaking initiative that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to reimagine the meme coin genre, providing a special fusion of community, technology, and entertainment. Raboo’s presale is now underway, with tokens available at $0.0048, analysts say $RABT can easily explode 100x by the time it hits the markets this year. Conclusion Between the rise of Dogecoin and Pepe's price, Raboo is standing out as the best crypto to invest in this year. Meme coins are now making noise, becoming the money makers of the crypto market. Raboo is very affordable, giving the opportunity for anyone to join in. Small risk for a great reward. Even though it is yet to launch, Raboo has aimed to be a top 20 coin and it is currently on the right path.

From Sustainability To Reliability: How Laser Photonics' Ethical Approach To Engineering Sets It Apart From Rivals

Benzinga

By Meg Flippin, Benzinga Ethical engineering may only receive lip service from some companies, but it's a guiding principle for Laser Photonics Corp (NASDAQ: LASE) (LPC). Sustainability and environmental and societal impacts must be part of the equation in research and development, engineering and manufacturing, the company believes. A business with ethical standards enhances safety, improves quality, builds public trust and promotes sustainability – these values define the company. It's a belief Laser Photonics has long subscribed to. The company, established in 1981, adheres to a stringent ethical code of conduct when developing industrial-strength laser systems for cleaning, cutting, marking and welding. That code includes a commitment to transparency, while meeting all applicable laws, regulations and industry standards – as well as taking responsibility for actions, decisions and results. Laser Photonics says it strives for excellence in all aspects of its business and is committed to sustainable and environmentally responsible practices. Laser Photonics Leads By Example Ethical leadership is a big part of achieving engineering excellence. After all, ethical leaders are the ones who embody positive behavior and foster cultures in which integrity, respect and sustainability are among the top tenets. That ethical prowess appears to be in abundance at Laser Photonics, thanks to a deep management bench and a world-class research and development (R&D) team led by CEO Wayne Tupuola, who has over 15 years of C-level management experience. Before joining Laser Photonics, Tupuola spent over 25 years in the fiber laser equipment, semiconductor and aerospace industries – honing his craft and cultivating a commitment to the principles of ethical engineering. A similar pedigree is also found in Laser Photonics’ R&D team, which holds several patents and is focused on creating reliable and cutting-edge solutions. The team’s commitment to continuous innovation nurtures customer loyalty and drives growth. It's why Laser Photonics counts more than 100 Fortune 1000 companies in the aerospace, defense, energy, automotive and maritime industries as customers, including General Electric Co. (NYSE: GE) and Caterpillar (NYSE: CAT). Ethics In Manufacturing The company’s focus on ethical business is also reflected in its approach to developing, manufacturing and commercializing laser systems. LPC says it prioritizes quality in every component and sub-assembly it designs to produce machines that are built to last, are easily mastered and require minimal upkeep. Laser systems such as its CleanTech products are also easily integrated into production lines and capable of handling specialized tasks. To protect its customers, Laser Photonics has built in an added level of security, including a manual reset, a key-locked laser power switch and a remote interlock connector, which all serve to prevent accidental exposure to laser radiation. Optional features include an exhaust outlet for fume extraction and a Class I operator safe viewing port for safe observation of the laser cleaning process and easier alignment. LPC says these features set it apart in the industry and showcase its commitment to providing safe and effective technology to its customers. Since Laser Photonics develops laser systems certified by the Food and Drug Administration’s(FDA) and Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH), the company is positioned to meet rigorous standards for the safety of customers and employees. As a result, LPC says investors can be confident in its dedication to aligning with ESG principles and reaching sustainability goals. Societal Impact Beyond its approach to business, LPC is making a positive impact on society, underscoring its commitment to upholding strong ethics. For centuries, sand and abrasive blasting was the go-to way to remove contaminants from substrates, but this practice creates hazardous work environments and exposes workers to crystalline silica, which is one of the most common minerals found in stone, rock, brick, mortar and block. Exposure to airborne silica dust occurs when cutting, sawing, drilling and crushing stones and using sand products such as abrasive blasting tools. Inhaling silica dust was found to cause irreversible lung damage and even lung cancer. Laser Photonics is turning the old way of surface processing on its head with its CleanTech brand of lasers used to remove rust, mold and other residue. These state-of–the-art systems accurately and quickly remove contaminants from a wide range of surfaces without damaging the underlying substrate and while keeping the operator safe from harmful chemicals and substances. Ethical engineering is the foundation for growth, and that’s not lost on Laser Photonics. From its management team to its laser development processes, LPC has best practices, sustainability, safety and reliability at the forefront of its operations. The set of values the company brings to the table is the key component to its continuous expansion. Companies big and small, as well as government agencies, rely on Laser Photonics because of its quality, reputation and ethical approach to engineering.
