A customer picks a pack of Orion's Poca Chips An employee holds two cans of Homeplus's ultra-cheap beer brand Many entrepreneurs think that "Shark Tank" will be the major turning point for the success of their business highly dependent on the product and the business strategy So what happened with the Yono Clip suction cup hanger after its segment on "Shark Tank" but some of the criticism from its time on the show seems to have proven true The Yono Clip was featured on Season 12, Episode 12 of "Shark Tank" and featured entrepreneurs Michael Green and Bob Mackey seeking an investment of $150,000 for a 15% stake in the company Their product is a simple clip that suctions to surfaces so you don't have to set your purse giving an energetic presentation on how the clip keeps your belongings from resting on "germs and dirt." The founders met 10 years prior at STEMfest Green also owns a company called Science for Everyone which presents interactive science shows at schools Mackey is the president and CEO of the Boys & Girls Clubs of North Central Georgia the pair made $14,500 total from the Yono Clip in the first two months Founders Micheal Green and Bob Mackey had an engaging presentation filled with dance moves and laughter from the Sharks They said they 3D printed the product in their garages and one clip cost $10 to make and retailed for $20 The goal was to go from 3D printed to a molded design which they estimated would bring the cost of manufacturing down to about $5 Though the sharks seemed initially entertained by the presentation, Barbara Corcoran was the first one out. "You know, I think you have a lot of heavy lifting ahead of you, I really do," she told the entrepreneurs on "Shark Tank." "I think it's clever; I think it's a cluttered market and I don't think it's going to sell well enough for you to make an occupation out of selling it .. I would see this as a side hustle and keep it that way Mark Cuban followed by saying the product isn't obvious meaning it's not something that people would think they need and then run out and buy Kevin O'Leary followed suit because he already invested in a product on "Shark Tank" that was similar and Lori Greiner offered injection molders but was ultimately out Getting an offer on "Shark Tank" is exciting for an entrepreneur and Yono Clip undoubtedly gained some new customers from the appearance But it seems like Barbara Corcoran was right about this being more of a side hustle than a full-time business Both founders — Micheal Green and Bob Mackey — appear to still be working in the jobs they had before starting Yono Clip and there isn't much news about how the company is doing post-show The episode premiered on February 5, 2021. Following the appearance on the show, Yono Clip didn't do much press, and there haven't been clear updates about the brand. Currently, the website only offers three products: a Yono Clip in pink or red and a suction cover much of the website has generic template text The Yono Clip Instagram has over 1,500 followers but hasn't posted since October 4, 2022. Commenting is currently turned off on all posts. A post from February of 2021, however, has a comment asking about an update on the shipping information and another replying that they emailed and received no response. When the product did arrive, the commenter on the Instagram post claimed The logo stickers were half off already." As of now it doesn't seem that the business has taken off While it still has a website and an Instagram page Yono Clip does not seem to be a flourishing business The product only appears to be sold on its website missing out on the opportunity to sell them at other online retailers such as Amazon searching for Yono Clip on Amazon returns results for similar products Customer service and shipping time seem to have been two of the company's weak spots. On Shark Tank Shopper many customers who ordered in early 2021 seemed to not have received their products even months later — and had not heard from the company even after reaching out One reviewer who did receive a response said they were told the delay was due to a manufacturing issue other customers who received the product seemed less than thrilled with the quality TVovermind also noted that the company moved from a .com domain to a .net domain .com tends to be seen as more professional and is often the first choice for anyone running a commercial business The world of business can be quite cutthroat and there are plenty of great ideas that aren't as successful as they may initially seem to be The company's annual revenue is undisclosed and there hasn't been activity from the company in months it's not possible to say whether it's making sales or not they both seem to hold the same positions they had when appearing on the show he mentions Yono Clip and appearing on "Shark Tank" in the about section He is still the president of Science for Everyone Inc Bob Mackey is still the president and CEO of the Boys and Girls Club of North Central Georgia he also seems to have entered the film industry as a director and writer credits on the mini-series "Oscarville: Below the Surface" and the television show "DI MATTINA" and a writer's credit on "Unto You Arla." It seems with the pursuit of other passions The Yono Property is strategically situated just 170 metres from significant gold resources totalling approximately 5.2 million and 2.7 million ounces

65% working interest in the Yono Property It provides a comprehensive analysis of the Yono Property confirming key geological features previously disclosed by the Company The full report is available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca "The Yono Property is strategically located very close to adjoining it could be very challenging and restrictive to mine these deposits without having access to the Yono Property." 1 Other noteworthy excerpts from the report include: "The Yono Property has excellent potential to host mineralization similar to that on the adjoining properties and similar to other known gold deposits in the region The Yono Project is a Property of Merit and an extensive multi-phased exploration program is warranted.2 The Company notes several gold targets on the Yono Property have been identified in the report Of prominence is the potential for strike extensions of the western portions of the higher grade (6.38-9.3g/t Au)3 Oko Main Zone to extend into the eastern portion of the Yono Property "The most recent published drill results by G2 Goldfields (G2 Goldfields Inc 2025) appears to show that the Ghanie Zone and OMZ Shear 1 are contiguous and potentially Shear 1 and Shear 3 coalesce between Ghanie and OMZ In this interpretation Shears 4 & 5 are open to the south of OMZ and substantively untested and potentially project into the Yono Property along its eastern boundary somewhere between its northeastern and southeastern corners."4 "Favourable sedimentary and volcanic rocks that host gold mineralization on adjacent properties have been mapped in the centre of the Yono Property."5 Figure 1 reproduced from Figure 21 of the report illustrates these relations CEO & President Graham Keevil commented "We're extremely pleased to have completed this most crucial step in the Yono Property acquisition approval process the independent technical report further serves to confirm our belief that the Yono Property could be highly prospective and a potentially invaluable part of the developments at the two neighbouring gold projects." _____________________________1 Page 97- (last paragraph) of the NI 43-101 Technical Report on the Yono Property 2 Page 2- (Section 1.6)

need to have a lot of things to be happy this philosophy suggests that true happiness lies in limiting our needs and choosing just “one” thing that truly serves us This trend focuses on reducing unnecessary spending and prioritizing essential consumption and seems to fit the current environment of high inflation which reflects ongoing economic uncertainty "Consumers are increasingly turning to flea markets and renting furniture and various electronic devices," CNN reports The "You Only Need One" trend emphasizes the importance of minimalism and focusing on what is truly valuable In a society where overconsumption is the norm YONO seems to invite us to reevaluate our priorities and discover the power of having only the essentials the idea of ??YONO is not only about consuming or buying objects but also about our personal choices in life From our relationships with people to our professional careers YONO encourages us to seek only what is authentic and that truly suits us one of the reasons for the growth of the YONO trend is the difficult economic situation in which society has found itself with the change in mentality during the Covid pandemic but now it is changing again as it faces other challenges The popularity of the trend can be explained by several reasons the more sustainable choices we now have in various areas of our lives the need to limit consumption and the desire for simpler experiences contribute to YONO being accepted quite quickly by many people YONO promotes the philosophy that you can find happiness by having only the essentials without feeling like you have to follow trends or other people's expectations So it seems perfectly suited for those looking to contribute to reducing environmental pollution you reduce the likelihood of contributing to the vast amounts of waste that end up in our oceans Influencers and content creators who follow the YONO or minimal lifestyle often promote this philosophy through their platforms there is a wave of promotion of simple lifestyles and ideas around personal happiness and accepting “one” as an ideal The term is steadily gaining popularity on social media with users sharing their

When we met aboard the SS Rotterdam cruise ship nearly 50 years ago no one – including the two of us – could have ever imagined the life and love that the future would hold I was one of the ship’s few Indonesian crew members and she was a passenger whose beauty and talent caught my eye at the piano bar one night when she stood up to sing and interracial marriage was not yet common in the United States We were married during a snowstorm two years later and started a family soon after with our two children Donna and I are also the proud grandparents of three wonderful granddaughters – Gemma While as of 2019, 90% of all eligible Americans favored organ donation, only half were actually registered as organ donors To do so, Donna and I have become involved with Donate Life New York State, a nonprofit dedicated to increasing organ, eye and tissue donation. The work of Donate Life NYS is critical, as last year 85% of all transplants nationwide came from deceased donors Organ waitlist is a fixable crisis: Americans die daily waiting for an organ transplant. Why do we let this happen? After a decade of Donate Life NYS’ legislative advocacy efforts to increase opportunities for New Yorkers to become organ donors, enrollment numbers have encouragingly doubled I am forever grateful to have been blessed with a wife as remarkable as Donna, who has truly lived up to our vows to care for me in sickness and in health, including by working with our daughter, Alexondra, to develop the Yono Needs a Kidney campaign to help find me a match I know that not everyone in my position is fortunate enough to have such a loving and supportive partner So this Valentine’s Day and National Donor Day, I ask that if you haven’t already, please register to become an organ donor and encourage your family and friends to do the same There is no act more loving than giving someone a second chance at life Chef Widjiono “Yono” Purnomo is the owner of Yono’s restaurant Opening a savings account is an excellent way to save money and earn interest offers a variety of benefits to savings

2025 Metrics details Transcription in all living organisms is accomplished by multi-subunit RNA polymerases (msRNAPs) msRNAPs are highly conserved in evolution and invariably share a ∼400 kDa five-subunit catalytic core Here we characterize a hypothetical ∼100 kDa single-chain protein encoded by the SPβ prophage of Bacillus subtilis YonO shares very distant homology with msRNAPs but no homology with single-subunit polymerases We show that despite homology to only a few amino acids of msRNAP and the absence of most of the conserved domains YonO is a highly processive DNA-dependent RNA polymerase We demonstrate that YonO is a bona fide RNAP of the SPβ bacteriophage that specifically transcribes its late genes and thus represents a novel type of bacteriophage RNAPs YonO and related proteins present in various bacteria and bacteriophages have diverged from msRNAPs before the Last Universal Common Ancestor may resemble the single-subunit ancestor of all msRNAPs These latter proteins are referred to here as ‘YonO-like’ after the predicted protein YonO of B The activity and function of YonO or related hypothetical proteins are unknown and show that it is a new type of specific and highly processive DNA-dependent RNAP and a bona fide RNAP of the SPβ bacteriophage of B This result indicates that the aspartate triad of YonO is functionally homologous to that of msRNAPs the transcripts were resistant to RNase H in both YonO and E YonO facilitates the disengagement of RNA from the template strand during elongation a requirement for the extension of a DNA primer on a DNA template with ribo NTPs is unlikely to happen in vivo We compared the kinetics of transcription by YonO and bacterial msRNAP from E. coli (Fig. 1e) YonO rapidly extends RNA with little pausing at a low (1 μM) NTP concentration which paused strongly at multiple positions The higher processivity of YonO was not due to a higher affinity to NTPs as the same propensity was observed at a high (100 μM) NTP concentration the Km for NTPs appeared to be similar for YonO and E coli msRNAP; Km[ATP] (measured at 10 °C to allow manual measurements) was 1.8±0.7 and 0.6±0.2 μM The higher affinity to incorrect NTPs of YonO may reflect a simpler organization of its active centre the absence of homology to the Trigger Loop Blue dots indicate all the genes (out of 4,314) without a statistically significant change in expression (e) Confirmation of the transcription start site (TSS) of the promoter used by YonO (PYONO) to transcribe the operon of SPβ late genes (f) Deletion of YonO does not affect transcription from constitutive PVEG promoter of B Further investigation will be required to determine the promoter sequence recognized by YonO and whether YonO can recognize promoters on its own or requires additional host or bacteriophage factors It is tempting to speculate that these polymerases may serve to transcribe specific sets of genes in these bacteria in response to environmental changes or stresses It is therefore surprising that YonO catalyses phosphodiester bond synthesis as efficiently as msRNAP The lack of the homology to the Trigger Loop may however explain a lower accuracy of RNA synthesis and the lack of proofreading (RNA cleavage) activity by YonO It is possible that the lower overall fidelity could be beneficial for the bacteriophage survival The previously known single-subunit RNAPs of bacteriophages Though YonO cannot be structurally compared to them the bypass of the pausing signals might be an example of functional convergence of polymerases that need to synthesize a large number of gene copies with minimal delays all these domains appear to be dispensable for efficient RNA synthesis by msRNAP; they only become essential in the context of the regulation of transcription we found that YonO is less responsive to transcription pausing which is a main mechanism for regulation of elongation by msRNAPs and which is controlled by some of the above domains The apparent absence of such fine-tuning in YonO suggests that these mechanisms emerged later during the evolution of the msRNAPs yonO was cloned into the pET-28a expression vector coli T7 Express cells (New England Biolabs) with an N-terminal 6xHis-tag the yonO pET-28a construct was subjected to site-directed mutagenesis using Quikchange XL II (Agilent) and protein expression was induced at OD600 of 0.4 with 1 mM isopropyl-β-D-1-thiogalactoside (IPTG) at 18 °C for 16 h Harvested cells were re-suspended in grinding buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.9 EDTA-free protease inhibitor cocktail (Roche)) and disrupted by sonication The lysate was clarified by centrifugation and made to 20 mM imidazole before being loaded on a His Trap HP column (GE Healthcare) pre-equilibrated with 20 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.9 and 600 mM NaCl Protein eluted in 100 mM imidazole was bound to a HiTrap Heparin column (GE Healthcare) equilibrated in 10 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.9 and 600 mM NaCl and eluted by a gradient increase of NaCl concentration to 1 M Fractions containing YonO were concentrated and further purified on a Superdex 200 16/60 column equilibrated in 50 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.9 and 500 mM NaCl Purified YonO was concentrated and dialysed overnight into storage buffer (20 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.9 1 mM dithiothreitol and 0.1 mM EDTA) and stored at −20 °C Ten microlitre reactions containing 0.5 pmol of RNA were incubated with 1 pmol of template strand DNA for 5 min and 5 pmol of wild type or mutant YonO or E coli core msRNAP were added for another 5 min 5 pmol of non-template was added and complexes were incubated for a further 5 min Five microlitres of Ni-NTA agarose beads (GE Healthcare) equilibrated in transcription buffer (20 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.5 40 mM KCl and 10 mM MgCl2) were added for 5 min with gentle shaking Beads were washed with transcription buffer (with or without 1 M KCl) complexes were additionally washed with transcription buffer of the relevant pH lacking Mg2+ all RNA and DNA primers were labelled at the 5′ end with γ-[32P]-ATP and T4 polynucleotide kinase (Fermentas) RNA14 was labelled at the 3′ end by incorporation of α-[32P]-GMP in the assembled elongation complex with subsequent washing Reactions were initiated by the addition of NTPs PPi (concentrations specified in figures) and/or 10 mM MgCl2 or MnCl2 and allowed to proceed at 37 °C for 30 min or times indicated in figures 5 units of RNase H (New England Biolabs) were added to reactions for 20 min at 37 °C All reactions were stopped by the addition of formamide containing buffer Products were separated by 24% denaturing Urea-PAGE and revealed by phosphorimaging (GE Healthcare) reaction rates obtained from a range of substrate concentrations were fitted to the Michaelis–Menten equation using SigmaPlot software (± in the text is s.d from at least three independent experiments) All experiments were repeated at least three times YonO was purified as before with the exception that 20 mM HEPES KOH pH 7.9 replaced Tris-HCl in all purification buffers Four milligrams of YonO were coupled to 0.8 g CNBr-activated sepharose (GE Healthcare) following the manufacturer’s instructions YonO-coupled sepharose was washed with 25 ml coupling buffer (100 mM NaHCO3 pH 8.3 500 mM NaCl and 0.1% Triton X-100) and blocked overnight by incubation with 10 ml blocking buffer (200 mM Tris-HCl pH 8 YonO-coupled sepharose was washed with 20 ml acetate buffer (100 mM NaOAc pH 4.8 500 mM NaCl and 0.1% Triton X-100) followed by 20 ml blocking buffer These washing steps were repeated three times YonO-coupled sepharose was washed with 10 ml of elution buffer I (100 mM glycine pH 2 and 0.1% Triton X-100) followed by 30 ml of buffer I (10 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.2 Ten millilitres of rabbit serum were diluted with 35 ml of serum buffer (10 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.4 and 0.1% Triton X-100) The diluted serum was clarified by centrifugation (10 min at 8,000g) and the supernatant was incubated for 20 h with YonO-coupled sepharose The YonO-coupled sepharose was allowed to settle in a 10 ml gravity flow column (Bio-Rad) while diluted serum was allowed to flow through the column The column was washed with 20 ml buffer I and buffer II (10 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.2 Bound antibodies were eluted with six 1 ml aliquots of elution buffer I Each aliquot was eluted into 200 μl elution buffer II (2 M Tris HCl pH 8) Fractions containing antibodies were made to 20% glycerol and stored at −80 °C This method utilizes genomic integration of a MazF selection cassette featuring an IPTG inducible E.coli mazF gene and a spectinomycin resistance marker Recombinant PCR steps were used to generate a large DNA fragment consisting of B and C refers to the 1,000 bp DNA sequences

prepared them for life after being on a television show appeared with Atlanta-based business partner Michael Green on the Feb 5 episode of the long-running ABC reality series to pitch their invention Mackey and Green were able to reveal new details including how long ago the episode was filmed More: This Athens inventor will be on 'Shark Tank' Friday. Will a shark go in on the YONO Clip? “We actually did our taping in the Las Vegas studio on Sept “but we still didn’t know how they were going to edit it So we truly saw the show when everyone else did.” was first in the tank before the panel of celebrity investors and their combination of energetic presentation and impassioned storytelling won over panelist and FUBU apparel company CEO Daymond John who now owns a 30% share of the YONO Clip as a result of the deal Moments before investing the $150,000 Mackey and Green were asking for John recognized the inventors for “changing the world,” and expressed his desire for the world to be aware of the work they were doing “More people need to see heroes like you,” said John the partners had emerged from the tank victorious their website crashed after being overloaded with 3 million hits and served as an indication of the attention that was to come Mackey and Green also have interest from a major retailer who has more than 1,000 stores nationwide Mackey called the development “amazing,” and the inventors are currently in discussions with the company Though being recognized on the street and taking selfies with fans has been fun and exciting for the team Mackey and Green remain focused on the community and education work they were doing prior to their television appearance and see the notoriety as a way to help reinforce their message of encouragement and support “Requests for speaking engagements have gone through the roof,” said Mackey “I’m looking forward to keeping an ear to the community and helping elevate change.” For inventors Bob Mackey and Michael Green signing up to appear on the ABC series "Shark Tank" was as simple as filling out an online form Getting to that point involved a massive amount of work that needed to be done in a short amount of time Mackey and Green will tell the story of their product, the YONO Clip 5 episode of the long-running reality TV show which features small businesses pitching their products to a panel of potential investors who hails from Athens and attended Clarke Central High School got the idea for the compact device after almost tripping over someone’s bag at the gym Seeing a need for some kind of portable hook Mackey made a rough sketch on a paper towel during his bike workout When Mackey made a Facebook post about his idea the announcement received several responses but the only serious one came from Atlanta-based educator Michael Green who has given science presentations everywhere from elementary schools and hospitals to sporting events and Six Flags Mackey and Green encountered their first hurdle when it came time to figure out the mechanics of the initial design “We submitted it to three different professional engineering companies and they all said it would never work,” recalled Mackey Unlike most suction-based tools, the YONO Clip activates by pulling a lever out instead of pushing it in. Once United Kingdom-based Aeon Engineering took interest, Mackey and Green had a solution within 45 minutes, and their $10,000 crowdfunding campaign reached its goal in under 24 hours Mackey submitted a “Shark Tank” application in March Since none of the manufacturers the team contacted would be able to produce the YONO Clip quickly enough Mackey and Green purchased 3-D printing machines and taught themselves how to use the design software was realized in an astonishing eight months “One of our first customers was a woman who did water aerobics as part of physical therapy,” said Mackey “She told us that the YONO Clip keeps her from having to bend down to get into her bag and it stays dry because it’s not on the ground.” As the CEO of the Boys & Girls Clubs of North Central Georgia Mackey sees their product as an extension of the outreach work he and Green had already been doing and their appearance on “Shark Tank” is another way for them to give back to the community “We tell kids that everything is possible and that no dream is too big,” said Green “To go through the process of creating the YONO Clip and ultimately be featured on ‘Shark Tank’ is proof and it gives us even more credibility when we have those conversations.” Mackey and Green are scheduled to appear on the Friday 5 episode of  "Shark Tank," which airs at 8 p.m This website is using a security service to protect itself from online attacks The action you just performed triggered the security solution There are several actions that could trigger this block including submitting a certain word or phrase You can email the site owner to let them know you were blocked Please include what you were doing when this page came up and the Cloudflare Ray ID found at the bottom of this page Chris Skinner&#039;s blog with Google and Amazon fighting out the financial payments space alongside other players like PayTM and SBI YONO biggest start-up by legacy bank, valuation at $40 billion SBI Chairman Rajnish Kumar added that SBI is adding over 70,000 customers per day to the platform and has added 2.7 crore users (27 million) in the last six months due to the COVID-19 pandemic Maybe a bit of all of those things but I am very conscious that I love hearing innovation stories from NuBank in Brazil to Craft Silicon in Kenya to Ant Group in China to Chime in America to Ålandsbanken in the Baltics My view is not parochial or national or jingoistic; it’s purposefully looking worldwide and global So, in the spirit of being global, here’s the lowdown on YONO State Bank of India launched YONO—an acronym for ‘You Only Need One’—in November 2017 to address its customers’ banking McKinsey and IBM helped SBI set up the platform YONO is adding more than 70,000 customers daily and has onboarded 2.7 crore users (27 million) in the last six months it is giving loans of over Rs 70 crore per day (near USD$10m) SBI is now planning to separate YONO from the legacy bank as a new business: State Bank of India (SBI) is planning to make its digital platform You Only Need One or YONO an independent entity and allow other banks to use its services The country's largest bank is looking to employ the “pay per use” model to attract small financial institutions to use the platform The model works best when the clients only want to pay for the services they use SBI's brand name would not be attached to the services rendered by other banks to their customers “Other banks can use YONO without using the brand,” he said Banks would need to connect via the YONO API without going through SBI's core banking system other banks can connect the API with their backend and use it with their branding the bank will also use YONO as an outside application they want to utilise its full potential and test its security aspects “There is no point in bringing a half-baked product in the market,” Kumar pointed out The app has added 71 lakh new customers amid the pandemic with the number of transactions rising from 66 lakh (6.6m) in March 2020 to 1.1 crore (11m) in August Although no independent agency has valued the app yet according to [SBI’s] internal valuations it is worth $40 billion And, even though they used McKinsey and IBM, I love the fact that India is always, always, always leading the technology debate. The Indian Government’s technology stack is second-to-none, and the UPI and Aadhar programs may be criticised but are leading-edge by any nation’s standards Therefore, a final note about SBI is their use of technology: SBI has deployed open-source technologies across different layers of applications including front end and the entire SDLC (Systems Development Lifecycle) management Design & Development by Utopian IBNS is not driven by any ism- not wokeism not hyper right-wing or left liberal ideals nor by any hardline religious beliefs or hyper nationalism We want to serve you good old objective news We only try to present factual and well-sourced news Login | Sign Up Nintendo Life Guest Login or Sign Up Yono And The Celestial ElephantsSwitch eShop Yono and the Celestial Elephants is an intriguing game from a design standpoint While it looks the part of an educational cartoon meant for toddlers within it hides a tale with a deep context meant for adults The action feels like it belongs somewhere in-between these conflicting ideals Yono and the Celestial Elephants is the story of the eponymous pachyderm finding his way into a world where he soon discovers he is something of a deity His appearance forces the folk of the world to take what they thought were fairy tales and legends and put weight behind them but finds that helping people can be his modus operandi The visuals of Yono and the Celestial Elephants belie the heavy themes within the plot There are tales of racial tension between the robotic Mekani Day of the Dead inspired Bonewights and humans as well as exposition about unfair taxation the ethics of power and straight up existentialism hidden within its bouncy veneer None of it is heavy-handed nor ever overstays its welcome but it’s weirdly powerful for such a quaint looking game Yono and the Celestial Elephants is a rather stock adventure game and for those curious it has more in common with the obscure puzzle game Solstice than The Legend of Zelda As Yono travels between towns he’s met with a plethora of obstructions on his journey; you reveal paths through environmental manipulation crack rocks and set up Rube Goldberg-like contraptions to move along because even though the solution isn’t hard to come by it's still satisfying to overcome For those hoping for a deep and rewarding combat system Yono has a charging attack that feels clumsy but the amount you actually use it is meager While Yono and the Celestial Elephants is odd in its prose This may turn off a lot of gamers and admittedly the degree of challenge follows suit but there should definitely be a place in the Switch library for such a game The music is very low-key and not remarkable at all but at least it doesn’t distract from the game as a whole The saccharine presentation is an interesting juxtaposition from the constant puzzling and abstract plot The game does a great job of filling itself out with extra things to do when you aren’t pushing Yono to the next realm There’s a currency you can collect that unlocks fun new skins for Yono from making him look as if he’s made of corduroy to being covered by a constellation or even having him dress like Link There’s a plethora of side quests that often devolve into either using Yono’s small stable of abilities or arbitrary fetch quests and while they lack any kind of punchy design they often reward you with thought-provoking conversations that really dig deep into the lore of the world or the aforementioned heady social conversations Rounding out the extras are some letters that will spill out from vases and pots; you can then take them to a mystic who will reveal more of the history of Yono’s world nothing out of the ordinary for a video game but welcome in its ability to bring life to Yono and the Celestial Elephants hides a curiously metaphysical tale behind it Those looking for a Zelda-lite adventure might be disappointed by its straightforward approach and lack of upgradability but those who are willing to give its lighthearted and deliriously cute tale a spin will find a worthy game to play Review copy provided by Plug In DigitalHow we review productsScoring Policy I was excited for this one since it's so adorable but game play videos make it look far too simple and easy for my taste I was really excited for this one but it just looks boring to play someone just rearranged the screenies and now my comment doesn't make sense I just finished playing this game this morning.It was all right but ultimately nothing too special.The music was cute and the puzzles weren't too complicated (a plus for me) even though 90% of them were of the crate-pushing variety.Graphics were.. I think more could have been done in this department (see Oceanhorn) Character design was an aspect of the game I didn't like at all (except for Yono himself the game is short and quite easy to 100% in but the easiness and simple gameplay has put me well off i will probably try this game because cute and easy are things i like Tiny Barbarian is an excellent game full of polish The reviews and scores here seem all over the place The sound direction is awful and the whole experience seems overly simplistic @LemonSlice The screenshots are randomised each time you refresh the page The game certainly has a lot of charm but disappointed at its lack of pro controller support and often crashings Never quite got the excitement in parts of this site for this one I love the cute main character and philosophical discussions with robots/zombies Nice relaxing game after being repeatedly killed off by Wulverblade twins of doom/death at end of level 2 @Alcovitch Tiny Barbarian is not all you described but maybe you're all just looking at it with the wrong eyes I don't think this game could hold me for long but I'm sure my 8 years old daughter will find it fascinating.. cause she's a Breath of the Wild and Splatoon 2 hardcore gamer.. It's a lovely small game that takes about 4 hours to beat It is more a Puzzle Adventure game with a bit action requesting items in exchange typically for a reward which was mostly the only thing that disappointed me I might pick this one up if it goes on sale or gets a price drop but I don't need to pick it up up when my Switch backlog is already growing so fast @Alcovitch maybe the price hurt it @maruse Agreed I'm totally thinking of this as a game my 9YO might like and I can maybe spend some time with as well Not everything has to be hardcore and complicated @Pazuzu666 Compared to this game its a masterpiece Well if most of the puzzles are crate pushing ones then I'm not interested as it sounds boring I feel the same way about this game as I feel about cuphead. Let me explain. I think the graphics are gorgeous, but I have to think about if I want a game that plays like this, before if I want a game that looks like this.@Alcovitch Everyone has a different opinion in games No one has a wrong or "meh" opinion I'm not ashamed to admit it-- Yono is adorable as all get out I was surprised to hear of the mature subject matter relating to race/philosophy/etc I'll have to give Yono a "one-day-maybe-for-sale" recommendation to myself but i bought this game the second it came out i cant remember what but something else came out that i was more invested in and i finally finished the came like 5 mins ago What kept me playing was the impression the puzzles would get harder and as i kept going i realized they never did basically every puzzle is just rearranging crates and it doesnt take long to figure out any of the puzzles i agree with everyone else’s comments saying the design was cute- which is why i bought it the most interactive town happens early on and even the villagers problems arent hard theres also a side quest to find letters to finish a book holding past stories You wont even have to try to get all the letters at the end of the game i had over 20000 letters extra which i thought was weird i thought i would have to be extra through in each dungeon to complete the book also even like 4-5 years after the release of the game no patches were made Lastly an aspect of the game was changing your elephant’s skin theres like 3-5 designs that are fun or cute but the rest are ugly leaving the “coins” (i have no clue what the currency is called) you collect worthless unless you REALLY want to 100% the game you can get all the coins you need by playing a lame minigame in the kinghtvale (maybe its knighthaven??? idk) city so dont worry about scouring for coins but ultimately if you're bored find literally any other game this one is meant for like 11 y/os who have brain rot or smthn Show Comments Hold on there, you need to login to post a comment..

the immortal Bonewights that live in the Sundergarden who have become afraid as they are unable to produce more of their kind; and the robotic Mekani in Freehaven who are caught up in starting a revolution It is impressive that you can natter to the characters that are littered in each region These interactions help to pad out the world you will engage in conversations in Yono and the Celestial Elephants that often feel wholly misplaced These are proudly listed in the game’s features which boast about how the player can “discuss ascetic virtue ethics with the undead and political philosophy and the roots of power and authority with the humans.” I am glad that developers continue to see games as a medium that can raise awareness around such areas especially in one with such a cute exterior that stars an elephant who is trying his hardest to restore balance to the world it jarred against the charm that Yono and the Celestial Elephants otherwise has in abundance It’s a game with distinctly adult themes wrapped up in a family-friendly appeal and I am still not sure how I am expected to really feel about that seeing as the puzzles that the developer throws at you are often clever whether using water to cool down switches that are too hot to touch headbutting enormous chess pieces to raise and lower platforms or playfully sliding ice blocks around a room that will simply see you watering plants and carrying lost belongings back and forth between characters A neat idea that Yono and the Celestial Elephants has is that the letters and glyphs from ancient texts have slipped off their pages and been scattered in the wind The player will collect these over their time with the game they can be used to reveal the lost chapters to learn more about the elephants that preceded Yono Unlike the bizarrely highbrow approach to everything else Yono and the Celestial Elephants needed a little more polish It is a bug-ridden experience that can see your attacks or puzzle interactions not registering and the enemy targeting mechanic fail to work altogether Graphically it’s quaint but forgettable is unremarkable – with a special shoutout to the carousel box melody that was a moment where I immediately muted the Nintendo Switch That largely sums up my experience with Yono and the Celestial Elephants a passion project that wearily falls short from the potential that it clearly had It is probably best that you wait for another millennium to see what adventures await the next elephant Version Tested: Nintendo SwitchReview copy provided by Plug In Digital a Chaldean American businessman and community leader was elected board president of the International Visitors Council of Metropolitan Detroit (IVC Detroit) Yono has worked with the IVC for two years and previously served as vice president of the board He is the former chairman of the Chaldean Federation of America and Associated Food and Petroleum Dealers He was also a trustee at Oakland Community College and a board member of New Detroit The IVC Detroit is a nonprofit organization that administers international exchange programs on behalf of the U.S the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and other organizations that have an interest in promoting international relations “We want to show international visitors the best of Detroit and what it has to offer,” said Yono Yono plans on getting more executives from the global business sector involved in the organization.  views and interviews from the Arab world and the Arab American community..

Want to wrap yourself in an enchanting and charming little game? This would be a good game to play it together with your child, as I’m pretty sure they will be delighted by it. The lore and the clever interaction between Yono and the people might go over their head, but the puzzling and exploring would be fun to share. Yono and the Celestial Elephants is available on October 12 in the Nintendo Switch eShop for the price of $ 14,99. Thanks for the tip Britta, I’ll edit it. No I’d never heard of Tembo!

This will enable customers to avail loans from the comfort of their homes, indicating that it would be 100 per cent paperless and a digital process that would be available 24x7.  The new loan facility will be available to mutual fund schemes of all asset management companies (AMCs) registered with CAMS. This development, the lender said, is a marked upgrade from the previous service that was limited only to loans against SBI Mutual Fund schemes, and available only through branches, which meant customers had to physically visit the offices.  Meanwhile, SBI shares were last seen trading 0.53 per cent higher at Rs 853.60 in Thursday's trade. Around 2.56 lakh shares changed hands on BSE at the time of writing this story. The figure was lower than the two-week average volume of 10.77 lakh shares. Turnover on the came at Rs 21.83 crore, commanding a market capitalisation (m-cap) of Rs 7,62,072.61 crore. “We are pleased to introduce Loan against MF Units facility for our customers on internet banking and YONO app. We believe that the digitalization of Loan against MFs will enable our valued customers to experience a digital, hassle-free, and paperless loan process. It will also help them in avoiding redemption of MF Units in case of immediate need of funds,” said Dinesh Khara, SBI Chairman.  SBI, in its statement, added that it has become the first public sector bank (PSB) to offer end-to-end digital loan on mutual fund schemes in India.  The State Bank of India (SBI) has introduced a digital facility for NRIs to effortlessly open NRE and NRO accounts (both savings and current accounts) through SBI's YONO This service is designed for NTB or “new to bank” customers providing them with ease and efficiency in the account opening process NRIs can open their NRE/NRO accounts from the comfort of their homes eliminating the need for an in-person visit to India This innovative approach simplifies the process for NRI customers and empowers SBI branches with the tools they need to provide quick and efficient customer service.” said Speaking on the launch DMD & Head (Digital Banking & Transformation) 2)Select the option to open an NRE/NRO account 3)On successful submission customers have two options to submit their KYC: option 1 - submit the document at an SBI branch of choice in India;

after gathering data over time Xi recognizes the cost involved — especially since women don’t know when their efforts will be successful That’s why the company is starting a leasing program which will offer women a chance to use YONO for for four months for $60 and a $15 refund per month not used if pregnancy happens quickly The company is also marketing that it is safe to give YONO to a friend or family member after it has been used the YONO is clearly an option for couples who are experiencing difficulty getting pregnant or who are sticklers for data to begin with It’s not a must-have or even a lifetime piece of equipment But it serves an important niche for women who are tired of tracking their data every day without assistance from smart technology the wearable is near its goal of $30,000 with 40 days left ➤ YONO Fertility Friend, a wearable basal thermometer [Kickstarter] Read Next: Report: Google is distributing a business version of Glass that attaches to different glasses Get the most important tech news in your inbox each week D2CX by Inc42 is a 12-week hands-on program to help you level up your D2C game Learn from India's top 1% D2C founders and experts through actionable insights proven strategies and tactics on how to 10X your D2C brand ManagementX by Inc42 – India’s first Startup Management Program is a 6-month hands-on program that will take you on an intense journey that shatters the outdated “employee mindset” and equips you with the “leader mindset” D2CX Foundations by Inc42 is a 6 week hands-on program to help you launch your D2C brand successfully and profitably Learn from India’s top 1% of D2C founders & experts through actionable insights proven strategies and tactics on how to launch a successful D2C Brand in 6 weeks & governments policies on the hottest tech industries in the Indian startup ecosystem partner or work with India's #1 startup media & intelligence platform and explore what else Inc42 has to offer SBI’s deputy MD (IT) Vidya Krishnan has already spoken with the Singapore-based digital platform enablers the local regulators and the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) SBI plans to launch Yono in the city country through an integration with PayNow SBI’s Yono Global is accessible across 9 countries which started in 2019 with the UK State Bank Of India is set to launch its Yono Global application in Singapore and the US to offer digital remittance and other services to its customers “We are continuing to invest in Yono Global to offer the best services available as we want to give superior experience to our customers.” Krishnan has already spoken with the Singapore-based digital platform enablers Commenting on the significance that SBI’s Yono could bring to Singapore “We are constantly working on the remittance story between India and Singapore given the large number of Indian diaspora in the city state.” The bank has a balance sheet of $79 Bn from its foreign operations The bank has been on a spree to boost its operations on the digital front.
