Rev Up Marketers

Su-vastika, a popular Indian Startup in the Green energy space, has announced the launch of a pocket-sized 1S to 48S Handheld Cell Voltage Tester to help users maximize their battery life. Developed under the mentorship of Kunwer Sachdev (founder Su-kam), this HandHeld Cell Voltage Tester aims to help maintain peak battery performance by monitoring battery health. Its unique, simple touch operation helps anyone to accurately measure the cell voltage of each cell within a battery pack, getting a clear and concise assessment of the overall condition. This can measure the cell voltage wirelessly through Bluetooth and Wi-Fi with an accuracy of 1%, which gives the user an idea of how BMS works in the lithium battery pack. Also, it has proprietary software that can be downloaded through the iOS and Android applications on mobile phones. As one of the major works of BMS is to equalize the battery cell voltages and in case of any cell voltage not being equalized due to any reason, it will give the alarm and give the data through Bluetooth and wifi. One can change the BMS or the particular cell of the lithium battery pack in case the cell voltages are not appropriately balanced. Su-vastika already has a patent for this cell measuring technology and is working on the next model to be launched in 2025. Talking to the media, Kunwer Sachdev said, "Our 1S to 48S Handheld Cell Voltage Tester not only helps rapidly and accurately access the performance of your batteries, but it also helps anyone to track battery health and identify potential issues. By detecting faults early, users can now take proactive steps to address them, thus helping to prolong battery life and ensuring optimal performance." He also told the media that the company is soon working on other models, developing the model up to 120S and launching the next model with the IR measurements of the battery pack and cell pack level. Key Product Features: Simultaneous Voltage Measurement: Temperature ports: Real-Time Data Analysis: Versatile Applications: Key Advantages: The Handheld Cell Voltage Tester by Su-vastika comes with Wireless Connectivity and Data monitoring. Customers can view the battery voltage data directly on their device's screen.,. The data is updated in real-time, allowing remote monitoring and data recording to be analyzed or used for comparison.

Comcast Donates $65,000 for Technology Makeover at Northwest Paralyzed Veterans of America in Burien

Comcast Pacific Northwest

City of Burien Mayor Kevin Schilling joined Comcast at Northwest Paralyzed Veterans of America (NWPVA) today in Burien to showcase the facility’s assistive technology makeover made possible by a $65,000 contribution of equipment and in-kind services from Comcast. NWPVA’s upgraded facility will provide critical online resources and facilitate digital literacy training for veterans who have a spinal cord injury or dysfunction. Comcast began providing free WiFi service to NWPVA’s location in 2020 through the company’s Lift Zones program. The building is now equipped with hardware, furniture and support to aid NWPVA members in accessing vital resources, private meeting spaces and independent navigation of computers using assistive technology. Comcast engaged the Washington Assistive Technology Act Program (WATAP) to consult on the technology, software, equipment and furniture. WATAP provides assistive technology resources and expertise to Washington residents who face challenges related to disability. Some of the assistive technology now available in the facility include: GlassOuse Assistive Device that can navigate a computer through head movements and bite-click. Dragon Software by Nuance for high quality, powerful dictation through speech recognition. High visibility keyboards and mouse options for varying dexterity. Height adjustable desks and conference tables for varying wheelchair needs. Extendable monitor arms for users with low vision. “We are thankful for the investment Comcast is making to bring to life our vision for a facility that provides training in an inclusive and accessible environment to our veteran community,” said Joy Cochran, Vice President, Northwest PVA. “The financial support and complimentary WiFi service from Comcast combined with the WATAP consultancy are critical to providing the most relevant and impactful technology for our facility and members.” As part of Comcast’s ongoing commitment to help connect underserved communities to the Internet, the company has created free, WiFi-connected “Lift Zones” at nearly 100 non-profit organizations and community centers throughout Washington. Lift Zones are part of Comcast’s Project UP – a comprehensive initiative to advance digital equity. The initiative also provides access to hundreds of hours of educational and digital-skills content to help people navigate online learning. According to the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), people with disabilities are among the groups most likely not to use the internet at home, often due to cost barriers, lack of interest or challenges with technology accessibility. Additionally, nearly 48 million U.S. workers — one-third of all U.S. workers — do not have the foundational digital skills needed to secure in-demand jobs. This points to a digital skill divide in Washington and the nation. “Having digital skills matters now more than ever. We recognize the challenges people with disabilities confront, which affects their ability to use the internet and technology,” said Roy Novosel, U.S. Marine Veteran and Vice President of Engineering for the Comcast Pacific Northwest Region. “That’s exactly why a fully accessible and digital community learning space like this one in Burien is so important, and why we at Comcast want to partner with organizations like Paralyzed Veterans of America to help close the digital skills divide in Washington.” To add some art to this unique learning space, Urban ArtWorks constructed a mural designed by veteran artist Charles Conner and hand-painted by Comcast employee volunteers. This mural is now on display inside the Northwest Paralyzed Veterans of America building in Burien. Lift Zones complement Comcast’s Internet Essentials program, which helps connect lower-income families to the Internet at home. Internet Essentials is Comcast’s signature digital equity initiative and the nation’s largest and most comprehensive broadband adoption program. Since 2011, Internet Essentials has connected a cumulative total of more than 8,800 low-income residents to broadband Internet in Kitsap County. Internet Essentials has a comprehensive design that addresses each of the three major barriers to broadband adoption. This includes: multiple options to access free digital literacy training in print, online, and in person; the option to purchase a heavily subsidized, low-cost Internet-ready computer; and low-cost, high-speed Internet service for $9.95 a month, plus tax.

To apply, visit www.internetessentials.com or call 1-855-846-8376 for English or 1-855-765-6995 for Spanish. Comcast’s commitment to the military community goes back to our founder, U.S. Navy veteran Ralph Roberts. We are proud to create special experiences for military customers, hire military-connected talent, and support organizations that serve veterans and their families. About Northwest Paralyzed Veterans of America The mission of Paralyzed Veterans of America, Northwest Chapter is to improve the quality of life for Veterans of the United States Armed Forces & their family, for those who have a spinal cord injury or dysfunction, while advocating for civil and disability rights for all.

Direxion Launches Netflix and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Single Stock Leveraged and Inverse ETFs

Direxion

Furthering their continued success with Single Stock Leveraged and Inverse ETFs, Direxion, a leading provider of tradeable and thematic ETFs, today announced the launch of two additional pairs. These four funds allow active traders to obtain magnified, or inverse, exposure to the daily performance of the common stock of Netflix, Inc., or Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd., through either the Direxion Daily NFLX Bull 2X Shares ( Ticker: NFXL ) and Direxion Daily NFLX Bear 1X Shares ( Ticker: NFXS ), or the Direxion Daily TSM Bull 2X Shares ( Ticker: TSMX ) and Direxion Daily TSM Bear 1X Shares ( Ticker: TSMZ ). “Direxion launched its first two pairs of single stock leveraged and inverse ETFs just over two years ago, amassing more than $3 billion in the expanding suite since,” said Direxion Managing Director, Edward Egilinsky. “Netflix and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing are two of the hottest names in the retail space, lending themselves well to tactical trading in response to potential company events and market sentiment. We look forward to expanding our suite of single stock leveraged and inverse ETFs in the near future.” As ground-breaking products built for active traders, Direxion’s pairs of single stock leveraged and inverse ETFs are meant to be used for short-term trading purposes. Leveraged and inverse single stock ETFs should not be viewed as buy and hold investments, but rather trading tools for traders with a high risk tolerance. In addition, unlike traditional ETFs, or even other levered and/or inverse ETFs, these ETFs track the price of a single stock rather than an index, eliminating the benefits of diversification. All Direxion leveraged and inverse ETFs are intended only for investors with an in-depth understanding of the risks associated with seeking leveraged investment results, and who plan to actively monitor and manage their positions. There is no guarantee these ETFs will meet their objective. Please visit the Direxion Leveraged and Inverse ETF Education Center, where you will find educational brochures, videos, and a self-paced online course to help you understand if leveraged ETFs are right for you. About Direxion: Direxion equips investors who are driven by conviction with ETF solutions built for purpose and fine-tuned for precision. These solutions are available for a broad spectrum of investors, whether executing short-term tactical trades, or investing in thematic strategies. Direxion’s reputation is founded on developing products that precisely express market perspectives and allow investors to manage their risk exposure. Founded in 1997, the company has approximately $48.6 billion in assets under management as of September 30, 2024. For more information, please visit www.direxion.com. There is no guarantee that the Funds will achieve their investment objectives. For more information on all Direxion Shares ETFs, go to www.direxion.com, or call us at 866.301.9214. An investor should carefully consider a Fund’s investment objective, risks, charges, and expenses before investing. A Fund’s prospectus and summary prospectus contain this and other information about the Direxion Shares. To obtain a prospectus and summary prospectus call 866-476-7523 or visit our website at direxion.com. A Fund’s prospectus and summary prospectus should be read carefully before investing. Investing in the funds involves a high degree of risk. Unlike traditional ETFs, or even other leveraged and/or inverse ETFs, these leveraged and/or inverse single stock ETFs track the price of a single stock rather than an index, eliminating the benefits of diversification. Leveraged and inverse ETFs pursue daily leveraged investment objectives, which means they are riskier than alternatives which do not use leverage. They seek daily goals and should not be expected to track the underlying stock’s performance over periods longer than one day. They are not suitable for all investors and should be utilized only by investors who understand leverage risk and who actively manage their investments. The Funds will lose money if the underlying stock’s performance is flat, and it is possible that the Bull Fund will lose money even if the underlying stock’s performance increases, and the Bear Fund will lose money even if the underlying stock’s performance decreases, over a period longer than a single day. An investor could lose the full principal value of his or her investment in a single day. Investing in the Funds is not the same as investing directly in NFLX or TSM. Entertainment Industry Risk — Companies in the entertainment industry may be impacted by the high costs of research and development of new content and services in an effort to stay relevant in a highly competitive industry, and entertainment products may face a risk of rapid obsolescence. Entertainment companies are subject to risks that include cyclicality of revenues and earnings, changing tastes and topical interests, and decreases in the discretionary income of their targeted consumers. Consumer Discretionary Sector Risk — Because companies in the consumer discretionary sector manufacture products and provide discretionary services directly to the consumer, the success of these companies is tied closely to the performance of the overall domestic and international economy. Semiconductor Industry Risk – Semiconductor companies may face intense competition, both domestically and internationally, and such competition may have an adverse effect on such companies’ profit margins. Semiconductor companies may have limited product lines, markets, financial resources or personnel. Companies in the semiconductor industry may have products that face obsolescence due to rapid technological developments and frequent new product introduction, unpredictable changes in growth rates and competition for qualified personnel. Netflix, Inc. Investing Risk – Issuer-specific attributes may cause an investment held by the Fund to be more volatile than the market generally. The value of an individual security or particular type of security may be more volatile than the market as a whole and may perform differently from the value of the market as a whole. As of the date of this prospectus, in addition to the risks associated with companies in the consumer discretionary sector, and more specifically the entertainment industry, Netflix, Inc. faces risks related to maintaining and expanding membership for its streaming services; competition in the entertainment video market; unforeseen costs or liability in connection with content that is acquired, produced, licensed and/or distributed through its service; the ability to manage change and growth in its business; costs and challenges associated with strategic acquisitions and investments; regulatory changes and legal issues; protecting its intellectual property; consumer data privacy issues; and network operators handling and changing data access. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. Investing Risk – Issuer-specific attributes may cause an investment held by the Fund to be more volatile than the market generally. The value of an individual security or particular type of security may be more volatile than the market as a whole and may perform differently from the value of the market as a whole. As of the date of this prospectus, in addition to the risks associated with companies in the semiconductor sector, TSM faces risks associated with: the highly competitive nature of the semiconductor industry; economic and market uncertainty; reductions in demand for its products; potential concentration of revenues in a few large clients; geopolitical events and pandemics; adequate protection of technology or other intellectual property; exchange rates; reliance on third parties to manufacture products; possible shortages of equipment or materials needed to manufacture products; cybersecurity attacks and data breaches; system failures or outages; potential incompatibility of product with some or all industry standard software and hardware; increases in costs; adverse government regulations; regulatory compliance costs; litigation; taxes; indebtedness; and the ability to attract and retain high quality talent. Direxion Shares Risks – An investment in each Fund involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Each Fund is non-diversified and includes risks associated with a Fund concentrating its investments in a particular security, industry, sector, or geographic region which can result in increased volatility. A Fund's investments in derivatives such as futures contracts and swaps may pose risks in addition to, and greater than, those associated with directly investing in securities or other investments, including imperfect correlations with underlying investments or the Fund's other portfolio holdings, higher price volatility and lack of availability. As a result, the value of an investment in a Fund may change quickly and without warning. Risks of the Funds include Effects of Compounding and Market Volatility Risk, Derivatives Risk, Counterparty Risk, Rebalancing Risk, Intra-Day Investment Risk, Netflix, Inc. or Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. Investing Risk, Market Risk, Industry Concentration Risk, Cash Transaction Risk, Indirect Investment Risk, and risks specific to the consumer discretionary sector, entertainment industry or semiconductor industry. Additional risks include, for the Direxion Daily NFLX Bull 2X Shares and Direxion Daily TSM Bull 2X Shares, Leverage Risk and Daily Correlation Risk, and for the Direxion Daily NFLX Bear 1X Shares and Direxion Daily TSM Bear 1X Shares, Shorting or Inverse Risk as well as Daily Inverse Correlation Risk.
