SYDNEY - November 2, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

New children's picture book "Your Santa Agent Invitation" is a parent's guide to explaining Santa to children in a positive and enjoyable way, letting them know they have a special role to play in keeping the magic of Christmas alive.

Written in a gentle and easy rhyme, this book is a delightful way to navigate one of the most awkward parent/child conversations, enabling an honest discussion with warmth and cheer.

By covering the history of Saint Nick and inviting the child to become a "Santa Agent," this book transforms a time of potential loss into an opportunity for gain. It shows children that knowing the true identity of Santa is, in fact, a cause for celebration. 

Written by writer and journalist Alex Lalak, and marketing executive, author and mother Louise Cummins, this children's book offers both children and grown-ups a new way to celebrate the most wonderful time of the year.

"My passion for storytelling was sparked during my childhood by reading the fairy books of Ida Rentoul Outhwaite and Cicely Mary Barker. As a great believer in the magic and joy of Christmas, I was thrilled to co-write this book," Ms. Lalak said.

"As a mother, I am inspired to keep the magic of Christmas alive. I hope this book will delight children around the world, and help other parents navigate the conversation with love and care," Ms. Cummins said.

Described by Reader's Favourite as an "uplifting" and "positive" story, "Your Santa Agent Invitation" will be available to purchase online via Amazon and other leading online bookstores.

"This uplifting story presents a positive way for parents and families to be honest with their children while keeping the Christmas joy and spirit alive and well," Melinda Facal from Reader's Favourite said.

NOW Wallet desktop

LOS ANGELES - November 2, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

In addition to its original mobile version, NOW Wallet, a non-custodial crypto wallet developed by the same team behind ChangeNOW, has also launched a desktop application. This update makes the highly-rated crypto wallet, which doesn't require registration and doesn't store users' private keys, even more convenient.

The Same Functionality, but on Desktop

As part of ChangeNOW's commitment to providing its users with the best user experience possible, NOW Wallet's desktop version was designed to streamline the user experience and make it easy to access digital assets across different devices. 

NOW Wallet can be restored via seed phrase on the computer and used as desired, allowing for more options in digital asset management thanks to a wider screen.

NOW Wallet is free of custody, which means that it doesn't collect personal data and guarantees the ultimate level of privacy and security to the user.

NOW Wallet allows users to store, exchange, buy, and sell cryptocurrency, choosing from tens of thousands of trading pairs. The desktop wallet supports fiat-to-crypto transactions so that users can purchase and sell crypto with Visa, MasterCard, and bank transfers, just like in the mobile app. On top of that, all transactions are completed in five minutes on average.

With a laptop or computer, users can now access the full range of features when a mobile app is not enough. With support for 30+ blockchains and more being added regularly, NOW Wallet also lets users store any existing token on seven of the most popular networks - Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, Polygon, Avax C-Chain, TRON, Klaytn, and Solana - regardless of whether the token is displayed as supported. The wallet will show it when it is received.

NOW Wallet also offers a WalletConnect feature that may come in handy in the newly rolled-out desktop version. It is now possible to access any decentralized application (dApp) running on Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, Polygon, and Avax C-Chain from a laptop or computer.

Staking functionality will soon be added to the desktop version of NOW Wallet, mimicking its mobile app sibling. Currently, it's possible to stake TRX, ATOM, SOL, BNB, and native NOW Token, with even more opportunities to earn passive income coming soon.

NOW Wallet has a 24/7 operational support team that responds promptly to any inquiries. On ChangeNOW Twitter the latest news can be found, and on NOW Wallet Telegram Channel the active users can share feedback and chat with other members of the community. 

Greater Security and Operational Speed 

The desktop version of NOW Wallet provides the best of both worlds — a powerful yet user-friendly crypto wallet to manage and store digital assets on a computer or laptop.

Non-custodial wallets are known for their high security, while desktop versions are even less prone to security breaches, as they are not always online.

A desktop version is also faster due to the larger capacity of computers, resulting in wallets being created in mere seconds.

Conclusion 

With this desktop version of NOW Wallet, users can access it from their computers and laptops just as easily as they do from their mobile devices. It can be downloaded from the official website. Mobile is the best version for those who like to manage their crypto assets on the go, whereas desktop is the best version for those who prefer handling crypto assets at work or at home on their PCs. NOW Wallet remains user-friendly, non-custodial, and secure, but now it can be used in more ways.

Digitunity to Host Webinar Series Highlighting Digital Divide Survey Findings

Digitunity to Host Webinar Series Highlighting Digital Divide Survey Findings

The national digital inclusion organization will share findings on how cities and community groups are working to close the 'digital divide.'

CONWAY, N.H. - November 2, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

Digitunity, a national nonprofit organization that advances digital equity through device ownership, and network science agency Visible Network Labs (VNL) are hosting a series of webinars to present findings from a survey on how 10 U.S. cities are working to close the digital divide.

The digital divide is the disparity between those who have ready access to computers and the internet, and those who do not. Studies show that this deep, persistent inequity keeps under-resourced people from achieving economic and educational success.

"When the COVID-19 pandemic began, it highlighted a longstanding issue in our country, which is that millions of people in America are still unable to benefit from the opportunities that the internet provides," said Scot Henley, Executive Director of Digitunity. "The survey findings explore the relationships across sectors in each city and create opportunities for new or improved partnerships to embrace the power of collective action to achieve digital equity."  

Conducted during the summer of 2022, participants of the survey included nonprofits, government offices, businesses, and other organizations in each of the cities that: 

  • Are currently involved in or leading their city's digital equity efforts.
  • Would like to be involved in digital equity efforts.
  • Have resources to provide to advance digital equity.
  • Have opinions about or a stake in digital equity in their city.

 Details about each upcoming webinar, including registration links, can be found below:

A critical step towards advancing digital equity is ensuring everyone has access to a large-screen device, such as a desktop, laptop, or tablet. The survey led to the creation of network maps for each city along with geographic information system (GIS) maps. Through this visualization tool, stakeholders and community groups have a better understanding of who is involved and connected.

"Working with a network of partners is essential to building a collaborative advantage," said Dr. Amanda Beacom, Vice President of Research & Data Science, VNL, "Most organizations build networks using a 'more is better' mentality that saps their time and resources. The community partner relationship manager is designed to track, map, and adapt networks in real-time using network science data and insights."

Having a connected computer and the skills to use it productively is a fundamental need. The issue of the digital divide disproportionately affects communities of color but persists across all boundaries. Digitunity remains committed to eliminating the technology gap, so everyone can thrive in a digitally connected society. To learn more, please visit www.digitunity.org

Since the 1980s, Digitunity has advanced digital inclusion by connecting donors of technology with organizations serving people in need. Our mission is to ensure everyone who needs a computer has one, along with robust internet connectivity and digital literacy skills. To learn more about our mission, please visit www.digitunity.org
