Tickets now available for 2024 Air|Water Southern California Porsche Event

Luftgekuhlt

Following its successful debut in 2023 at Luftgekühlt 9 on Mare Island near San Francisco, Air|Water will henceforth become its own event, separated from the groundbreaking Luft series (which will continue to cater exclusively to air-cooled Porsches). The first independent Air|Water event will take place in Costa Mesa, CA and tickets can be purchased from air-water.com. Owners of every kind of street-driven and racing Porsche can register and enter to display their vehicle at the event. Unlike the incredibly successful Luftgekühlt show series, which changes venue for each occasion, Air|Water plans to call Costa Mesa its home for the foreseeable future and has the space to expand its offering into new experiences for the Porsche enthusiast. The venue functions as the perfect backdrop for what will certainly be one of the largest single brand automotive days, with a diverse format catering to some of the most legendary personalities and all walks of vintage and modern Porsche cars. Air|Water is about race and street, vintage and modern, two- and four-door, combustion and electric, sports cars and SUV, air- and water-cooled engines. Attendees can expect a family environment with plenty of food and beverage options, vendors, aftermarket specialists, custom builders and restoration icons. The show’s model mix was previewed at last year’s Northern California event, with everything from the latest 911 GT3 RS to the current Porsche Penske 963 race car, as well as vintage 356s, survivor 914s, transaxle 944s, overland Cayennes, and much more. Some of the most storied race cars from Porsche‘s past will continue to stand out as fan favorites, and this will remain a headline feature of Air|Water. Owners who wish to display their street or race Porsche at Air|Water should register via air-water.com when purchasing admission tickets. Areas within the venue will be curated for specific storylines. As for the tenth edition of Luftgekühlt, dedicated exclusively to air-cooled Porsche models, it will host its tenth Anniversary show later in 2024. As is tradition, the celebration will commemorate another unforgettable experience for visitors. In the meantime, owners of air-cooled models are invited to join the festivities at Air|Water on April 27 in Costa Mesa. Please note, Air|Water is a private, ticketed event and will remain available while supplies last. Brands and companies wishing to exhibit or partner with Air|Water can use the contact form here: air-water.com/pages/event EDITOR’S NOTE Images from Air|Water are available here: dropbox.com/scl/fo/8wnrm3k1gh32sca4vqu0n/h?rlkey=gzy6evqp5x32vrxa2f1h9hau4&dl=0 A video from the first event in San Francisco is available to download and share here: dropbox.com/s/rcjz2j8h185sqnm/AIRWATER_PROMO_16x9_MASTER.mp4?dl=0 ABOUT AIR|WATER From the creators of Luftgekühlt comes the largest single-brand automotive experience to hit Southern California. It embarks on a fresh format that traces Porsche's journey from its inaugural moments to the contemporary masterpieces and most cutting-edge examples of today. For more information, visit air-water.com ABOUT LUFTGEKÜHLT In the Porsche vernacular, Luftgekühlt represents all the air-cooled cars in the manufacturer’s history, from the Pre-A 356 through the 993 model line, which ended in 1998. A true Porsche happening, Luftgekühlt is an experiential car culture event centered around a tightly curated list of historically significant or interesting cars, both street and race. There is no set formula for our events, but we're excited by cool venues, fun people, and creative expression, so you can bet those elements will always be included. The team strives to develop wild ideas that celebrate the passion we have for all things air-cooled, including exciting collaborations with likeminded people and brands.

Taking the Guesswork Out of Finding the Right Therapist with Two Chairs

YourUpdateTV

A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/_XF1w-pVxZs While more Americans are seeking therapy than ever before, many people are matched with the wrong therapist. Two Chairs, the leader in connecting patients to the right therapist, has developed a solution called Matchmaker, an industry-leading technology platform that expertly connects people with the right therapist based on their health history, personal background, and clinical needs. Research shows that a strong client-therapist relationship is the key to great therapy but finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming. Knowing where to start and what makes a great patient-therapist match saves time and increases the likelihood of success. Data shows that the majority of people attend just one therapy session before quitting: ● 1 in 5 patients quit therapy prematurely because they don’t trust their therapist. ● Data finds that a strong patient-therapist relationship is the single best predictor of therapy success. ● Recent research shows that an average 15-20 sessions are needed for 50% of patients to recover. When Two Chairs hires a new therapist, Matchmaker analyzes their strengths, experiences, and skill sets, zeroing in on clinical presentations, diagnoses, focus areas, and demographics. For example, a therapist highly skilled in treating panic disorders may be less adept at addressing postpartum depression. Conversely, a clinician who has limited experience in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy may demonstrate a high level of expertise in utilizing Dialectical Behavior Therapy. This meticulous process ensures that the precise therapist-patient pairing is fine-tuned to match an individual's needs. Two Chair’s Matchmaker process considers over 300 factors, including therapy types (such as dynamic, emotion-focused, cognitive-behavioral, etc.), clinical styles, specific disorder expertise (anxiety, mood, trauma, addiction, eating, personality, etc.), life stages, relationships, identity, and more. Additionally, therapists can stipulate therapeutic approaches they choose not to practice, serving as a safeguard for both patients and clinicians. This comprehensive analysis ensures a tailored and optimal match for individuals seeking therapy. Established with the goal of providing the highest quality outpatient mental health care system in the United States, Two Chairs boasts an impressive patient retention rate, with 90% of their patients continuing to a fourth session—significantly surpassing the national average of 33%. Key to their treatment success is one of the most rigorous and sophisticated clinician-patient matching processes on the market. Two Chairs’ newly launched Matchmaker features further empower clinicians to practice at the top of their license, allowing them to focus on cases they are most skilled in treating. On January 10th, a media tour was conducted featuring Colleen Marshall, Vice President of Clinical Care at Two Chairs and a Licensed Marriage and Family therapist, to discuss the new Matchmaker feature and the importance of measuring outcomes to ensure clients get better faster. With a growing team of 500 licensed clinicians across 90 areas of expertise, Two Chairs has more than 20 million covered lives. Topics that Colleen Marshall discussed during the media tour included: ● Why a strong client-therapist relationship is crucial for effective therapy. ● Why it’s important to prioritize your mental health and destigmatize getting help. ● Reasons why people quit therapy, emphasizing the importance of a good therapist match for a long-term relationship that will lead to better outcomes. ● Why Two Chairs' developed the Matchmaker feature, delving into how it works to improve therapist-patient connections. For more information, visit TwoChairs.com About Two Chairs Two Chairs was founded in 2017 with a mission to build a world where everyone has access to exceptional mental healthcare. We're creating a better experience for both patients and clinicians by starting with an in-depth, research-backed matching process to ensure the ideal patient-therapist fit, offering hybrid care that gives patients and clinicians flexibility between in-person and virtual sessions, and measuring outcomes to ensure patients get better faster.

The Reason Behind Optimism's Price Correction, Are Arbitrum and Everlodge Good Alternatives

Everlodge

In this article, we make sense of the fluctuating prices of Arbitrum, Optimism, and Everlodge, and explore their respective tokens ARB, OP and ELDG. Optimism’s token unlocks bring both good and bad The Optimism token (OP) has been defying the odds and pumping hard despite extreme inflationary pressure over the last year. OP is up 225% this past year and 86% last month, massively outperforming Ethereum. This epic rise has occurred despite OP's circulating supply quadrupling from 214 million tokens at the start of 2022 to over 911 million now. Typically such rapid token unlocking craters a cryptocurrency's value. And a few days after the token unlock we did indeed see a correction in the price, which is currently down 21% since its all-time high 10 days ago. But from a macro perspective, Optimism is still doing very well. Optimism's rise seems tied to scheduled upcoming retroactive airdrops and incentives for new stakeholders spanning governance, partners, and public goods funding. Rather than fearing this inflation, investors appear to be betting on it attracting even more interest and contributors to the ecosystem long-term. Similar network token rallies have already played out for the likes of Avalanche, Arbitrum, Ethereum, Near, and Solana. History shows that the biggest gains often happen among smaller cap coins building on these platforms, such as Everlodge which is building on Ethereum. Arbitrum and Optimism have a lot in common Like Optimism, Arbitrum is another Layer 2 blockchain that utilizes optimistic rollups to scale Ethereum. Both help tackle congestion, high fees, and latency by batching and validating transactions off-chain before settling on Ethereum. These technical similarities have attracted major DeFi apps like Uniswap to deploy across both Arbitrum and Optimism. Just as Optimism endured supply shocks from token unlocks, Arbitrum braces for impact from its own upcoming unlocks. In March 2024, Arbitrum will release over 1.1 billion ARB tokens worth nearly $1 billion - 87% of the circulating supply. This threatens short-term downward price action. Yet over the long term, Arbitrum’s incentives and distribution to key stakeholders echo Optimism’s goal of fortifying its ecosystem to drive adoption. Once selling pressure eases after the unlocks, the outlook remains strong for both Layer 2’s as infrastructure improves and fees remain low compared to Ethereum mainnet. Their ambitious token models weather near-term volatility by ensuring the shared community ownership required for sustainability. However, ARB, like OP has gone up a lot already and may now face volatility due to the continuing unlocks for the next few years. And this is why many investors are turning to smaller cap coins such as Everlodge, to get bigger gains. Everlodge - a bullish new idea without sell pressure As Layer 2s like Arbitrum and Optimism battle their token unlocks and corresponding volatility, Everlodge presents a fresh alternative devoid of such supply shocks. And those bullish on Ethereum can capitalize by buying this smaller cap token, which is still in presale. By minting luxury hotels and villas into property-backed NFTs, Everlodge's novel model allows owning a slice of a vacation property for as little as $100. As asset values appreciate, so too do the linked NFTs. A well-designed marketplace will enable seamless trading of these blockchain properties. Through fractional Real World Asset tokenization, Everlodge will make global real estate investment accessible to anyone. Everlodge overcomes illiquidity and the opacity hindering traditional vacation home investing. And perhaps most importantly, makes it accessible to ordinary investors who don’t have hundreds of thousands of dollars to sink into just one property or asset. Integral to Everlodge's ecosystem is its ELDG token, built on Ethereum. ELDG provides tangible utility which is important for price. Holders will enjoy discounts on property purchases, trading fees, and maintenance costs. Similar to timeshare benefits, ELDG holders even receive complimentary annual stays at Everlodge properties. These can be enjoyed personally or resold at a profit to others. Given that ELDG is on offer at $0.029 and will launch for $0.039, there’s a significant upside throughout the presale alone. When the token goes live on Ethereum and major CEXs and DEXs, the price may rise as much as 3,000%. Visit Everlodge Everlodge provides you with a seamless approach to fractional investing in vacation rentals, eliminating the complexities associated with traditional real estate investment. Our innovative platform revolutionizes the way people invest in second homes. Contact Details Brett admin@everlodge.io Company Website https://everlodge.io/
