The program adjusts to your child's learning level. A laptop, internet access, and tutor are also provided for free.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. A free hands-on literacy program is helping kids who will start kindergarten next year by providing free learning services to those who sign up in selected areas in Tennessee.

The program provides kids with the basics of literacy.

I wanted the best for myself, so of course, Im going to want 20 times more than my son. Im going to make all types of sacrifices that I can make to make sure he receives just as best of one the education that my parents provided for me and Ill pass it along to him, Kimberly Haynes said.

She explained that she cannot afford to not be involved in her 4-year-old sons Jamison Millers learning, especially since he will be starting kindergarten next school year.

We have this software to where he can be able to utilize to where it can engage him and keep him focused and interacting and also learning as well, Haynes explained.

The Waterford Upstart literacy program is hands-on, and it is designed to prep kids with the basics like reading, using letter sounds to write their names, and more, all before they start kindergarten.

Haynes said she first learned about this interactive program from Jamisons daycare, which recommended that she sign him up.

It only requires 15 minutes of you and your childs time, five days a week. Haynes said it is helped her son get ahead of his age range.

My son is a visual learner, so by them using cartoonish fishers grasps the attention of my son. It helps him identify sight words that he already previously have learned, Haynes stated. So to add on to what hes already learning with the software that they utilize.

The Waterford software will actually meet your child right where he or she is in their academic journey by adjusting to their learning level. A laptop, internet access, and a tutor are also provided at no cost.

Haynes said this has helped her as a parent know what areas to focus on with her son beyond the program.

Its very inspirational for me and him because hes actually sitting there, going through the mode with the activities and actually learning, Haynes said.

And to take it a step further, there is also an option to get help with math and science. Spokesperson John McCann said this program gives kids a boost in their journey.

By the time they enter kindergarten by 2023, on average, Waterford Upstart will enter kindergarten reading at nearly a first-grade level, so you think about that third-grade reading being that benchmark and they want kids to be on grade level by third grade, McCann said. Well our program positions kids to be able to reach that.

The organization that created the literacy program is called Waterford.org, which is a national non-profit that is dedicated to providing high-quality educational resources for children and their families. To sign up and find out if you live in a county that qualifies, click here.

Taking the occasional loss comes part and parcel with investing on the stock market. Unfortunately, shareholders of Enea AB (publ) (STO:ENEA) have suffered share price declines over the last year. In that relatively short period, the share price has plunged 63%. We note that it has not been easy for shareholders over three years, either; the share price is down 41% in that time. The falls have accelerated recently, with the share price down 28% in the last three months.

With the stock having lost 13% in the past week, it's worth taking a look at business performance and seeing if there's any red flags.

Though if you're not interested in researching what drove ENEA's performance, we have a free list of interesting investing ideas to potentially inspire your next investment!

There is no denying that markets are sometimes efficient, but prices do not always reflect underlying business performance. One flawed but reasonable way to assess how sentiment around a company has changed is to compare the earnings per share (EPS) with the share price.

Unhappily, Enea had to report a 12% decline in EPS over the last year. This reduction in EPS is not as bad as the 63% share price fall. Unsurprisingly, given the lack of EPS growth, the market seems to be more cautious about the stock. The P/E ratio of 11.96 also points to the negative market sentiment.

You can see below how EPS has changed over time (discover the exact values by clicking on the image).

Dive deeper into Enea's key metrics by checking this interactive graph of Enea's earnings, revenue and cash flow.

While the broader market lost about 25% in the twelve months, Enea shareholders did even worse, losing 63%. However, it could simply be that the share price has been impacted by broader market jitters. It might be worth keeping an eye on the fundamentals, in case there's a good opportunity. Longer term investors wouldn't be so upset, since they would have made 1.3%, each year, over five years. If the fundamental data continues to indicate long term sustainable growth, the current sell-off could be an opportunity worth considering. Most investors take the time to check the data on insider transactions. You can click here to see if insiders have been buying or selling.

Of course, you might find a fantastic investment by looking elsewhere. So take a peek at this free list of companies we expect will grow earnings.

The beta version of Red hat's Fedora 37 is available for download but it's still far from finished.

Back in April we looked at the beta of Fedora 36, but the final shipping version came out rather later than planned. It looks like the Fedora Project is aiming to avoid this happening again, since the beta of next month's version 37 is already available.

The beta version of Fedora 37 is here, but it's flakier than a Kellogg's factory. Handle with care.

As usual, there will be multiple versions of the distro: there are already betas of all the respins too. As ever, the primary edition remains the GNOME one. This will feature the 25th anniversary version, GNOME 43. However, at this point, the final release version of GNOME 43 isn't expected for another week or so, so the Fedora beta uses a release candidate version.

Notably, Fedora 37 GNOME has a new replacement for a major GNOME app: the new Text Editor in place of the trusty GEdit. However, GNOME Terminal is still here, waiting its turn to be usurped by GNOME Console.

GNOME Settings has a new device security panel, which will include information about firmware updates for supported hardware. For now, the beta uses kernel 5.19, but by the time the final version ships, it will probably use the new kernel 6.0.

If you're not a GNOME fan, then there are plenty of alternatives. Also available are respins featuring KDE Plasma 5.26, MATE 1.26, Xfce 4.16, LXQt 1.10, and Cinnamon 5.4, as well as LXDE, the i3 tiling window manager, and the Sugar educational environment from the OLPC project. As before, there are also Server and Internet-of-Things editions; version 37 has CoreOS and Cloud Base as official editions as well.

Also new for version 37 is official support for the Raspberry Pi 4. Up until now there weren't FOSS drivers for enough of the Pi's hardware, but Fedora 37 will include accelerated 3D drivers for both OpenGL-ES and Vulkan. However, this version drops support for ARMv7, meaning some 32-bit Arm devices are no longer supported.

The Fedora 37 beta version has a warning message you must click through to install. We advise you to heed it.

The main Red Hat site has an official announcement and there's a full list of changes too, but some highlights include Emacs 28, Python 3.11, Perl 5.36, and Go 1.19.

The Reg FOSS desk spun up the GNOME version under VirtualBox for a quick look, and it was a bumpy ride. The installer crashed repeatedly, especially at the disk partitioning stage. Once we finally coerced it into installing, we tried to update it using the Software app, but that crashed too.

We tried to send a bug report, but the bug reporting app crashed as well. Even updating from the shell using dnf update failed, so we did it progressively, updating all the packages for each letter of the alphabet in turn. That took quite a while, but did eventually complete work, and the distro behaved itself slightly better after that.

To install, you have to click through a warning that this is an unfinished version, and we suggest you take that very seriously. We're sure the process will be much smoother when the final versions arrive, and we'll take another look at the distro then.

If you are on the verge of switching from paperback to e-books, now might be a good time to give it a try. Amazon is offering a two-month free trial to the Kindle Unlimited subscription as part of its latest deal. And you may need to act quickly because this is a offer isn't bound to last long.

As noted by TV Guide, Amazon doubled the Kindle Unlimited free trial from one month to two. It certainly looks like a sweet deal, as users looking to get their first Kindle subscription can avoid paying nearly $20 over the course of the trial. However, it will renew after two months, starting at $9.99 monthly. Amazon Kindle subscription earlier has always been free for a month to new consumers (as part of a free trial).

Unfortunately, the two-month trial doesn't appear to be available in all markets.

For the uninitiated, Kindle Unlimited is a subscription program that allows users to access more than 2 million e-books. It works on most of the popular Kindle e-readers, but users can access their libraries on the web version alongside native apps across platforms like Android.

The usual monthly subscription plan of nearly $10 is required irrespective of users owning an Amazon Prime subscription.

The Kindle Unlimited program further allows users to access a wide range of Audible audiobooks next to a plethora of e-books that are already available on the Kindle Store.

The above-outlined deal, however, comes just in time for the launch of the new Kindle (2022) announcement from Amazon. It comes as the entry-level entrant to the Kindle portfolio and brings some nifty upgrades over its predecessor. It has a small form factor yet features a sharper display, making it perfect for consuming all the e-books you'll have access to.

The new Kindle finally gets a USB Type-C interface for charging, and the battery lasts for at least six weeks on a single charge. It further features 16GB of storage, and the display includes a higher 300ppi pixel density. It retails at $99, is up for preorder, and starts shipping on October 12.
