Anti-Blue Light Gaming Glasses have become an important accessory for gamers and people who work on computers. It helps to protect their eyes and is priced at just $24.99
An online store that sells everything from gadgets, car accessories, fashion, and garden accessories, to fashion accessories has launched a campaign to make gamers aware of how important it is to wear Anti-Blue Light Gaming Glasses. Luxurella Store (https://luxurella.store/) which has a reputation for selling quality products at low prices, has warned gamers if they do not protect their eyes then they could cause long-lasting damage.
According to experts, gamers and people who spend a great deal of time on digital devices such as gaming machines and computers risk damaging their eyes without wearing protection. That includes Eye fatigue, where the eyes can get tired from intense use causing double vision. Gamers could also expect to generate headaches. Another problem for gamers who do not wear eye protection is Dry and irritated eyes. By not protecting the eyes by wearing Anti-Blue Light Gaming Glasses (https://luxurella.store/anti-blue-light-gaming-glasses/), gamers blink less when staring at a screen and the eyes become dry and irritated. Another problem is Retinal damage. Gaming machines and digital devices release blue light that can reach the inner lining of the back of your eye (retina). This can lead to early age-related macular degeneration and could lead to loss of eyesight.
Gaming has become even more popular in 2022. More than 3.1 billion gamers play on their gaming consoles. 179.6 million people in the USA spend 17 hours a week playing on their gaming devices. That means more than 179.6 million people in the USA risk damaging their eyes. Opticians recommend that gamers and those who work on computers should wear eye protection such as the Anti-Blue Light Gaming Glasses which are priced at just $24.99.
By wearing the Anti-Blue Light Gaming Glasses, gamers can safely play their games while knowing there are protecting their eyes. The glasses have become so popular that more than 20902 people have bought this item.
The Anti-Blue Light Gaming Glasses are not the only great gadgets that the popular online store sells. They have a wide range of great products and accessories, all of which come with a full guarantee and are sold at their lowest price.

Each week more than 179.6 million people play computer games at home spending more than 17 hours playing the latest games.

Eye fatigue – The eyes can get tired from intense use causing double vision. It can also cause headaches.
Dry and irritated eyes – With no protection, computer users tend to blink less when staring at a screen and the eyes become dry and irritated.
Retinal damage – Digital devices release blue light, which can reach the inner lining of the back of your eye (retina). Reports have found that blue light can damage light-sensitive cells in the retina. This can lead to early age-related macular degeneration, which according to medical experts can lead to loss of eyesight.

Company continues to expand its presence in Asia-Pacific region by funding Vietnamese consumer lending brand
VIA SMS Group, a Latvian financial technology company, continues to expand its presence in the Asia-Pacific market. The Latvian company recently invested in Vietnam’s consumer lending brand, VAMO.vn, a provider of short-term loans. The investment into the Vietnamese brand allows VIA SMS Group to grow its reach through the consumer lending market in the region.
The consumer lending market in the Asia-Pacific region is growing and VIA SMS Group saw a lot of potential in the area for growth. VAMO.vn launched in December 2019 with its first loan being made shortly after the public launch. VIA SMS Group continues to invest further into the company with the aim of making it Vietnam’s go-to consumer lending brand.
“VIA SMS Group is constantly looking for new potential markets, so expansion outside of Europe seemed like a logical step for the company’s development,” Deniss Šerstjukovs, Member of the Board at VIA SMS Group, said. “Asia-Pacific is an enormously huge and challenging market that provides opportunities that would never be possible in today’s European consumer lending market. Business experience in Vietnam gained together with TWINO has been incredibly valuable in understanding the specifics of the region and particular business field.”
Short-term loans provided by VAMO.vn allow individuals to obtain temporary personal or business capital support. VAMO.vn’s loans provide quick funding when a person’s cash flow is low, giving them the opportunity to make important payments or purchases. Short-term loans are attractive for small businesses and can help individuals in the Asia-Pacific market reach their entrepreneurial goals.

Couch Tutors Global, an edutech start-up company, will officially launch in the fall of 2022. The company will deliver education solutions to students around the world, enabling individuals to gain much-needed schooling to achieve their academic and career goals.

The company has already pre-screened more than 500 tutors from 60 countries with the capability of teaching 118 subjects in many different cultures. Tutors are highly qualified and capable of delivering education solutions and tutoring to students of all ages. The variety of tutors enables Couch Tutors Global to work with students in multiple languages and subjects.

The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child recognizes education as a legal right of every child. However, sadly education in many countries still to this day remains a privilege. According to UNESCO, a recent report they published showed that 258 million children and youth were out of school for the school year ending in 2018.
Education is one of the most important tools a person could have. It helps to enhance people’s lives and eradicate poverty and hunger. It gives people to achieve more out of their lives and provide a better future for their children. That is why it is important that everyone takes education seriously. And for those people who have left school, furthering their education is just as important.
One person who believes that education is an important tool is Maher Dabbouseh, the Founder of Couch Tutors.
Couch Tutors Global, an edutech start-up company, will officially launch in the fall of 2022. The company will deliver education solutions to students around the world, enabling individuals to gain much-needed schooling to achieve their academic and career goals.
We decided to sit down with Maher Dabbouseh to learn more about Couch Tutors Global, this is what he had to say.
Please tell me about your background.
For the past 22 years, I have been working in enrolment management roles in the United States and Middle East. I consider myself lucky to have been introduced to university admissions since the age of 19 and have been helping students across the globe find programs and universities that fit their needs.
Couch Tutors is being launched this year, can you explain what is Couch Tutors and why it has been founded?
At Couch Tutors we are planning on providing supplemental learning to students across the globe, including underserved populations. Tutoring students is only a small component of our product portfolio. We pan on offering a variety of solutions for students of all ages, including working adults. In addition to tutoring, we will be offering university admissions placement services for students across the world.
As the world was introduced to online learning, I couldn’t stop thinking of the students that did not have access to quality education. I started to do further research and came across some alarming data. According to UNICEF, over 617 billion students lack reading and math proficiency. Couch Tutors was born in June 2020 to help provide supplemental education to all students, including those in underserved populations. In fact, we plan on dedicating 1% of all revenue to serve students in areas pf poverty. We hope to increase the amount given back to students in need as our business grows.
Maher Dabbouseh, what is your background and why is education so important to you?
As a student in high school, I struggled in my freshman year. I was still traumatized from my parents’ divorce and the lifestyle changes associated with it. I learned quickly that the silver spoon that I grew up enjoying, no longer existed. I remember my mother would continuously remind my siblings and I that education would be the only solution to having a better lifestyle. I managed to work 2 part-time jobs and graduate high school with a good GPA.
Freshman year of college I took a position as a tele-counsellor at Robert Morris University (Chicago, IL). Within 1 year, I was supervising a call centre of the college and later became a trainer for the university. Fast forward 22 years later, I continued to stay in the field of university admissions and have helped universities in the United States and Middle East grow. Education defiantly changed my life in many ways. A major driving force behind launching Couch Tutors is to try to help as many students as possible, especially those in underserved populations.
You are going to deliver education solutions to students around the world, there are lots of companies that do this so why does Couch Tutors Global stand out from the others?
We are in the process of developing an all-inclusive learning platform with tutors in 60 countries with the capability to deliver services customized to local school curriculums. Our website from the beginning of its development is designed to support school curriculums around the world. We have dedicated a tremendous amount of time to ensure our platform not only teaches students, but also supports schools and parents in a variety of different way, including educational planning (College Search). In addition, Couch Tutors from its inception, is dedicated to giving back to underserved populations. Corporate Social responsibility is the core focus of our strategy.

You have more than 500 tutors from 60 countries ready to help students around the world, how are you vetting these tutors to make sure students are getting the best of the best?
We look at several factors when vetting our tutors. First and foremost, our core focus is to find high quality educators with experience in the field of teaching and education. We have a set of questions and initial interviews are conducted via email. Once screened to ensure applicants meet the quality education criteria, approved tutors will register on our platform and will be required to provide three references. Upon reference check, candidates will be required to provide a sample session to either students or our staff. Once the review ay on the platform.
Are your tutors going to teach in English or can they teach in different languages?
The best part of our platform is that our global team of tutors must have proficient English levels to apply. However, they will have flexibility to teach in a variety of different languages. This gives us a major advantage in helping students around the world/ To date, our global team of educators have the capability to deliver teaching and counselling sessions in 18 different languages. This number is growing daily.
What type of educational services are you going to be offering and at what age groups?
We plan on offering an array of services including:
Live 1-1 tutoring for students KG-College and professional coaching for working adults.
Live- Small study group courses for KG-High School and professional seminars for Adult Students.
Essay Editing Services for High School and College students.
Gift Cards for friends, relatives, or students in underserved populations (KG-12).
College Counseling and placement assistance (High School Students)
Institutional Support for schools, universities, and government organizations.
You have 188 subjects that you are going to offer courses in, will you be expanding on those subjects as time goes on?
Yes. Our platform will leverage AI to understand what our students’ needs are. Our platform is designed to understand what our customers want and to deliver solutions in a timely and cost- efficient fashion. As our educator network grows, we’ll be able to offer more subjects.
You have launched a crowdfunding campaign; can you explain why you have done that and where people can find your campaign?
We are giving everyone a chance to own part our company at a very early stage. We plan on competing with companies that are traded in major exchanges such as the NASDAQ. We prefer to start with a grass roots approach before seeking funding from institutional banks and VCs. Although all options are on the table. People can find our campaign on www.wefunder.comlcouchtutors .
This is going to be an exciting year for you, but where do you see your company in five years time?
I am very optimistic that Couch Tutors will make a positive impact on students lives, around the world. Most importantly, I would like to see our company partner with government entities to make education accessible and affordable to as many students as possible.
Marina Martini is a 33-year-old influencer, actress, and now producer. The Brazilian actress is juggling her pursue of Hollywood fame with her day job at a software design and development company.
For those people who have the TikTok account, Marina Martini does not need any introduction. More than 181k people follow her on the popular social media platform and she has gained more than 2.4 million likes. For those people that don’t know her, then check out her TikTok account as she is a star of the future.
When she was 25 her and her husband decided to move from Brazil to Perth, Western Australia. It was an adventure that was going to set her to the path of a future in acting, producing, and bringing fun to TikTok.
We decided to catch up with the busy influencer who is busy working on her next project, a film called Radio Man which she has been co-producing, to find out more about the future Hollywood star.
You moved from Brazil but now you live in Perth, Western Australia, why did you make such a move?
I was 25 when I moved to Perth, Western Australia. My husband and I were looking for a more peaceful lifestyle in line with who we are (we are super chilled and always avoid big crowds). We come from São Paulo, a super busy city with a population of around 23 million (which is similar to the population of the whole of Australia, to give you some perspective). We were living a very stressful life and were very lucky to have found Perth and being able to call it our home. We never take it for granted.
You have become a TikTok sensation, can you remember the first TikTok post you made?
It was actually quite recent, not even a year.
To be honest, I couldn’t quite work out how TikTok worked at first, which made me feel very old (haha). But then I decided to give it a go and my video completely flopped. It was a random video about makeup.
Why did you decide to turn to TikTok?
Whenever a new social media platform comes out I like to explore and analyse it. I try to understand how people are using it, why they are interacting with it, what their driver is, what is the most consumed content. I love observing and analysing human behaviour, it’s fascinating and it’s my secret hobby (I shouldn’t have shared this, should I? I sound like a creepy person now haha).
You have 181k followers and 2.4 million likes, how did you become so successful?
After my first video flopped, I decided to come back with a specific theme in mind, something that felt more like me. My Brazilian friends are constantly asking me about the cultural differences between countries. So I decided to make that my theme and use comedy to explain what the differences are and how the rest of the world perceives our culture. I’ve just listened to what people were asking for and added my own flavour to it (I can be quite dorky and for some reason that resonates with people, I don’t know why haha). In addition to that, the theme I chose has a high reach, because every Brazilian can relate to it (regardless of their gender, hobbies, preferences, age, etc).
What advice would you give to someone who wanted to achieve the same level of success?
I wouldn’t call myself successful, but what I can say is that the formula for success on all social media platforms is the same: you have to stick to an interesting and relatable theme, find a way to add your own flavour to your content and interact with people, create genuine connections (people will know when it’s fake). And most importantly: you need to love what you are doing and have fun! Don’t choose a theme just because it is generating a lot of engagement. I used to have a youtube channel with makeup tutorials and, although it was successful, I wasn’t feeling any sense of accomplishment. I couldn’t do it anymore, I had to stop and focus my energy on something that felt more like me.
You are not just a TikTok star, you are also an actress, how did you get into acting?
Acting has been a big passion of mine since I was a little kid (this is so cliche, but it is the honest truth). Whenever I was by myself I would pretend I was in a movie. And when I was with friends or cousins, I would force them to be in my made-up movie productions (haha). My favourite part of watching a film has always been the behind the scenes, I love seeing how movies are made, how the crew and cast interact with each other, the preparation for a character… I recall crying while watching one ‘behind the scenes’, because I wanted to be part of it so badly. Back in Brazil I did some acting when I was a teenager, but life happened and my full time job became my priority. Acting and filmmaking had always been in the back of my mind, but I was making a lot of excuses that prevented me from pursuing it. Maybe because I am a perfectionist and was scared that without proper time investment I would not succeed.
Gladly I left these fears aside and decided to give it a go, even with the time restrictions and all (I still work full time and have a busy life)!
You have been acting for just over two years and already you have casted as the lead actress in several short and feature films, how have you achieved so much success in such a short time?
Before getting back to acting, I went through some training here in Perth. I wanted to ensure I was equipped with the best tools. It was also an opportunity to start networking and understanding how the industry works. And I was glad to find that, like any industry, it is all about working hard, being professional, consistent and making connections. I’ve spent 14 years doing that with my other job, so I tried to apply the same logic. It doesn’t matter how talented you are if people don’t have a good time working with you.
After my acting training I applied to as many roles as I could find. You can’t have an ego. All productions – small or big, paid or unpaid – were an opportunity for me to practice my skills, learn from others and make connections. So that was it, just hard work and dedication. But I should confess I was actually quite surprised that I got most of the roles I auditioned for. I thought that my accent was going to be a blocker, but it has actually been what makes me unique (I am still going to see an accent coach this year, though! haha)
As well as appearing in front of the camera, you are now also working behind the camera and co-producing your first film. How different is acting to producing?
I love everything about filmmaking and bringing stories to life, my intention was never to just be in front of the camera. So after working with Brad Newland in Cloud City Chaos (I played Karlie Zanka), he mentioned he was going to produce a new feature film and I asked him if I could help. I was super grateful for the opportunity and Brad’s trust – I was thrilled when he asked me to be his co-producer and I am loving it. The big difference for me is that I get to focus more on the whole and work with more people, I feel even more connected with the story, more in control. I also just love being able to watch other actors perform, I believe I’ll end up learning a lot of acting skills by being the producer.
Can you tell me the name of the film that you are co-producing and what it is about?
The feature film is called Radio Man and it has been written by Brad Newland. It is about an unemployed down on his luck labourer guy from Perth (Jack) that acquires a unique skill of being able to transmit all types of radio waves in his mind after he spends a night asleep in a high-powered radio telescope dish.
Prior to this incident Jack is having a bad run, he has just broken up with his girlfriend, lost his job and has no money and is about to be kicked out of his house. So he will use his new super powers to gain control of his life (in a very funny way).
What first appealed to you about Radio Man?
The simple fact that it is a sci-fi and comedy film (I absolutely love that combination). When I first read the script I couldn’t stop laughing and I instantly saw how unique it was, it hasn’t been done before. Brad has a very creative mind and we are having a blast filming it!
Now you have done producing and acting, which one do you prefer, and which one do you get more excited about?
Both! And I am so excited that I’ll get to do both in Radio Man. I just love being on set, that’s it. It doesn’t matter if I am holding a light, acting or producing. There’s something about the environment that makes me feel at home. Even after an exhausting day filming I am always energised and fulfilled.
If you could have appeared in any film past or present what would it be, what character would you have played and why?
Oh, that’s a hard one!
Don’t laugh, but I would love to be in The Avengers (any character, even the male ones haha). Just because I love superhero movies. Or Harry Potter. Or Star Wars. Sorry, I always fail to pick just one. But most of the characters I’ve played so far are complex and deceiving, which is definitely the type of roles I want to keep going for.
Everyone talking about Will Smith and Chris Rock, what is your opinion on what happened?
I just feel bad and sorry for all the parties involved really, especially for Jada.
Will was visibly shaken by something that happened before the event. That moment was just a way for him to put it all out. It was sad that it happened that way.
It is so hard to get small films to the big screen due to trying to raise the finance, how would you like to see that change?
I think crypto is a great solution in supporting small and independent film productions. It is already happening in so many other areas, including film and music industries. There are many creative ways to use it to fund and produce projects by relying on the fans and community and rewarding them with tokens, NFTs.
If you had an unlimited budget and could have had any one actor in Radio Man, who would it be and why?
Chris Hemsworth, because in the film everyone has an Australian accent. That’s the only reason why 😉
What does the future hold for you?
I will continue to act in as many productions as I can and will hopefully direct my first film soon!
