Which One Is A Must-have Crypto For 2023 - TRON (TRX), Polygon (MATIC), or Everlodge (ELDG)

Total Media

There are a few rare projects that alter the landscape of the crypto world with their massive growth potential. Everlodge is one such project that is likely to become a market titan in the coming weeks. If you are looking for profitable crypto options, you must invest in this new project. On the other hand, long-standing projects like TRON (TRX) and Polygon (MATIC) have struggled to strike a balance in their market performances. Join the Everlodge presale and win a luxury holiday to the Maldives TRON (TRX) Falls Despite Network Growth Despite noticing some network growth, the trading price of TRON (TRX) has declined by more than 7% in the past month. As a result, TRON (TRX) is currently changing hands at $0.0774. To tackle the prevailing bearish market conditions, TRON (TRX) has taken some development measures. Recently, TRON (TRX) announced its use of the Web3 Node Engine Service of Huawei. Interestingly, TRON (TRX) is one of the first blockchains to embrace Huawei’s technology. With this, TRON (TRX) aims to connect developers to blockchains, and help them build dApps more efficiently. By market capitalization, TRON (TRX) is currently in the 11th position. y00ts NFT Collection Leaves Polygon (MATIC) Polygon (MATIC) is going through a prolonged bearish phase. The sudden exit of the NFT collection, y00ts, from the Polygon network is the primary reason behind the recent fall of MATIC. Notably, y00ts had recently shifted to Polygon (MATIC) from Solana, and was one of the most successful NFT collections on the network. However, Polygon (MATIC) has found support in the Reddit Collectible Avatars, which has registered a growth in sales. The Polygon (MATIC) community hopes that this Reddit-based NFT collection will attract more users to the network. However, the price trajectory of Polygon (MATIC) has moved downward by 23% in the past month. Consequently, the trading price of Polygon (MATIC) has now dropped to $0.5865. Everlodge (ELDG) Captures All Market Attention The real estate industry is one of the most profitable, and safest investment assets. To make this industry more accessible to investors, Everlodge has developed a new blockchain platform. It is a state-of-the-art Web3 platform that allows users to own holiday homes, and luxurious hotels. Notably, the market size of global vacation rentals can grow at a CAGR of 4.7% by 2030. Hence, this new project can do wonders over the coming years. Here, people can own a luxurious villa for as low as $100, and in the simplest possible way. The platform mints NFTs against real estate properties, and fractionalizes them to make it accessible to small and retail investors. Besides, people who co-own properties can use their NFTs as collateral to get a loan. Users could also trade their NFTs on the secondary marketplace of the platform, or any ERC20-compatible marketplace. The platform has announced plans to launch a Launchpad, wherein developers will get an opportunity to raise capital for new projects. Everlodge has ELDG as its native token, and its presale has started. Currently, the purchase price of a token is just $0.01. However, as per analysts, the token’s market value can explode by 280% during the presale round, and 30x upon launch. Moreover, the token holders will receive multiple benefits that include discounts on trading fees, and staking rewards. Considering the demand for this project, it can raise $12 million during its presale.

Helping End Pet Homelessness: Hill’s Pet Nutrition teams up with NBCUniversal Local for Month-long Clear the Shelters Campaign to Inspire Pet Adoption Nationwide!

YourUpdateTV

Since its inception in 2015, NBCUniversal Local’s Clear the Shelters campaign has helped more than 860,000 pets find homes and hopes to reach a new milestone this year - one million pets adopted. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/PJJWLdA2z5k Animal shelters across the country are in crisis as millions of pets are entering shelters but a growing number are not being adopted; In fact, more than 6.3 million animals enter shelters each year and in 2022 alone, 90,000 more cats and dogs entered shelters than were adopted. The Clear the Shelters campaign comes at a critical time as pet adoptions are slowing and shelters are facing extreme challenges with overcrowding and stretched resources. For more than two decades, Hill’s Pet Nutrition has focused on helping end pet homelessness through supporting shelter pet adoption, including its long-term support of the Clear the Shelters campaign. Hill’s Pet Nutrition is working to understand barriers to pet adoption and in a new survey of 1,500 pet owners, learned that high-quality photography is a simple, powerful tool in increasing a pet’s chance of adoption and reducing the time they spend in a shelter. Studies have shown that dogs with good adoption photos are typically adopted within two weeks, compared to 43 days for a pet with a poor photo. Quality photography helps showcase a pet’s true personality, create a deeper connection and inspire more individuals to consider adoption. 95% of pet adopters found photos to be important to the process. 7 in 10 online adopters considered a specific pet because of its photo. More than half of online adopters (58%) felt an emotional connection because of the pet’s photo. Hill’s is proud to team up with award-winning animal photographer and shelter advocate Sophie Gamand to offer simple but impactful photography tips anyone can use with their cell phones to help shelter pets put their best paw forward. To help pets find homes more quickly, volunteers are needed to help their local shelters with intake photographs of pets, as well as other activities ranging from exercising and socializing pets to administrative tasks to at-home fostering. Whether you donate, volunteer, foster, or adopt, your support matters. Together, we can create positive change. ● Adopt: If you’re ready to open your heart to a loyal and loving companion, visit HillsClearTheShelters.com to find a shelter near you. ● Volunteer: Shelters are in desperate need of volunteers. You can put your photography skills to good use by volunteering to help take quality photos of pets in shelters to help them find a new home faster. And even if photography isn’t your thing, shelters can also use extra hands. ● Donate: Consider donating at ClearTheSheltersFund.org where 100% of donations go directly to shelters and rescues in need. ● Foster: Open your home to a pet in need by providing temporary housing to help reduce overcrowding and help a pet prepare for adoption. Join the movement and make a life-saving difference for shelter pets everywhere by visiting www.hillscleartheshelters.com. Contact Details YourUpdateTV +1 212-736-2727 yourupdatetv@gmail.com

Minuteman Press Franchise Review: Jim Sweeney ‘Talks Shop’ on Growing Sales With Booming Apparel Business in Houston, Texas

Minuteman Press International Inc.

Jim and Jane Sweeney are the owners of the Minuteman Press franchise in Houston, Texas for the last 29 years; they first joined Minuteman Press in June of 1994. Jim and Jane have done a tremendous job building their business over the years. Most recently, they have truly excelled in growing their apparel sales. Jim summarizes: “ The past 2 years have certainly been interesting. We are currently (as of July of 2023) running 30.5% ahead of 2022 sales, which was up 35% over 2021. It seems like the world (or our world anyway) came out of its 2-year long malaise in 2022.” In the below interview, Jim shares more specific details about his center’s booming apparel business and how he and Jane’s Minuteman Press franchise in Houston have accomplished such strong growth in their apparel sales. Their center is located at 1040 Hercules Ave (Clear Lake City); Houston - Clear Lake City, TX 77058. How have you grown your business in general over the past two years? Jim Sweeney: “During the early pandemic we pivoted to personal protection products, which naturally led to custom face masks. While Jane was busy actually sewing 1000 face masks, I was providing custom logo cloth masks to hospitals, medical offices, service providers, and schools. We sold about 40,000 custom masks during that time, and we either heat pressed them or sent them to a local screen print vendor. We also donated a lot of masks to schools, non-profits, etc. Finally, in 2022, our traditional printing was finally starting to climb back to pre-pandemic levels. Promotional products also grew as trade shows and marketing calls became more the norm. We also had a big spurt of large format work, but that actually slowed down a bit after that initial spurt. EDDM printing has also become a larger portion of our print sales. Once we registered as EDDM providers on the USPS website, we definitely saw a very large increase in direct mail in general. Business Card printing has always been big for us, and the addition of the Graphic Whizard slitter, cutter, creaser has made it even more profitable. Our marketing efforts consists of: heavy community involvement; direct mail postcards, especially this year with the Deal of the Month art provided by MMP corporate; SEO/SEM on the Minuteman.com website, and social media, specifically as it relates to Direct to Film Transfer sales.” How have you grown your apparel business? What have you done to get your apparel sales going? Jim Sweeney: “We really started getting serious about apparel about 8 years ago when we purchased a commercial embroidery machine. Then, about 5 years ago, Jane put together a great lobby presentation. This area features apparel, large format, and promotional items of interest. We added dye sublimation capabilities with the Epson F570, and then we added DTG printing for one- offs (we eventually sold the DTG printer). During this time, we were using a lot of screen printed transfers, mostly from 613 originals or FM expressions. The issue became turnaround time. It would take up to 2 weeks to receive those transfers, and then of course we had to press them. We purchased a second, and then a third Stahls’ heat press during this time. That is when we decided to move in to the Direct to Film (DTF) printing business. After going through several desktop converted printers to try to print our own transfers, about 2.5 years ago we purchased our first large format, dual printhead DTF printer and finisher. In addition to producing transfers for our in-house use, we have enough capacity that we sell transfers to other printers, screen printers, sign shops and Facebook Group/Etsy owners. We added additional capacity with a 4 head DTF printer in January of this year (we will most likely be adding a third printer in the third quarter this year).” Jim continues: “Wholesale Transfer printing is now approximately 20% of our monthly sales; we ship all over the country, with a daily capacity for printing thousands of transfers. Adding embroidery and our in-house t-shirt sales makes apparel approximately 30% of our monthly revenue.” “Concurrently with this growth in transfer sales, the embroidery business was taking off. We regularly receive orders for 10-50 polos or button-down shirts for embroidery. We landed a grocery store chain and 2 local hospitals, and the orders became 150-200 shirts at a time. This past fall we completed a $24,000 jacket embroidery order, and we just delivered $32,000 jacket order to that same client, a hospital. Of course, we use a trusted local vendor for larger quantities of jackets.” Jim adds: “Our apparel business continues to grow weekly with more, and larger, in-house turn-key t-shirt sales really ramping up.” What are 3 tips for other owners on growing their apparel business? Jim Sweeney: “1. We feel that the #1 thing that is continuing to drive our apparel sales, in addition to the wholesale transfer sales, is our lobby display. Several years ago, we put this display of apparel samples, promotional items, and some of our large format samples in our shop. Whenever a new, or even an existing customer comes into the shop, invariably they are drawn to this display. About 1 in 5 people who walk into the shop asks about something that they see on that display. We turn about 85% of those inquiries into sales. 2. It also helps that our CSR is very knowledgeable about all aspects of apparel, as she is about all of our products and services. Our CSR/production manager, our daughter Allison, was the store manager at our Galveston location (which we sold in August of 2022), and has worked in every aspect of our business over the years. I realize that not everyone can be this lucky, however, that does not stop you from training and providing your staff with the tools that they need to do their jobs well. SanMar has great apparel catalogs with swatch samples, and you can put together a simple apparel website using their marketing tools. Of course, it also goes without saying that everyone on your staff should be wearing logo shirts, to further showcase your capabilities. 3. If you have the opportunity, attend a local apparel industry trade show, an ASI show, and most especially the MMP International World Expo. Educate yourself, request samples, purchase a good heat press, start small, with your own shirts, then visit your current clients to show them your new capabilities. Apparel is a perfect tie in to all of the other services that our shops provide to our clients. Apparel sales spur printing sales, just like printing sales should spur apparel sales.” At least once or twice a year, this hospital does a bulk purchase of 430 t-shirts for all the staff members. The purchase might include jackets, rain jackets, backpacks, other specialty items, or t-shirts. We’ve provided $200,000 or more in just apparel and high-end promo items to the hospital in the last 3 years. This hospital then referred us to the hospital Can you provide an example of a client who has used you for apparel? Jim Sweeney: “One of our regular ordering apparel clients is a local specialty hospital. In addition to their hospital facility, they also own or partner with 15 other physical therapy centers in the Houston region. We started out providing them with the usual printing and large format products, then contracted with them to provide new building signage for each of the outlying offices, and then grew into apparel with them. We have them set up on 2 Stahl’s Spirit Sale websites. One of them is for employees to purchase branded apparel, and the other is for the hospital to purchase apparel for new employees. In addition to standard corporate apparel, each department has their own branded t-shirt. Is there anything else you’d like to share? Jim Sweeney: “Apparel is an easy sell. Wear your logo. Talk it up. Ask for referrals. Don’t be afraid of it just because you haven’t done it before.” For more information on Jim and Jane Sweeney’s Minuteman Press franchise in Houston/Clear Lake, visit https://minuteman.com/us/locations/tx/houston27/ Learn more about #1 rated Minuteman Press franchise opportunities and read Minuteman Press franchise reviews at https://minutemanpressfranchise.com Contact Details Minuteman Press International Chris Biscuiti +1 631-249-1370 cbiscuiti@mpihq.com Company Website https://minutemanpressfranchise.com

NAVEX Enhances Communication with AI-Driven Translations

NAVEX Global

NAVEX, the leader in integrated risk and compliance management software, announces the launch of a new NAVEX One platform shared service: dynamic machine translations. This first-to-market addition in the governance, risk and compliance (GRC) space will empower organizations operating across different countries to overcome language barriers, enabling accurate risk and compliance-related communication between employees, third parties and program administrators. NAVEX understands the challenges organizations face in maintaining accurate communication when dealing with sensitive data arising from risk and compliance tasks. Many organizations struggle with language barriers, hindering effective collaboration. With varying language skills among responders, the potential for misunderstandings and misinterpretations can be detrimental to decision-making and compliance efforts – especially in time-sensitive cases. "NAVEX is pioneering the future of machine translations within the GRC space, directly tackling the complexities of multilingual communication," stated A.G. Lambert, chief product officer at NAVEX. "The integration of secure machine translation into NAVEX One makes it simple for GRC professionals to translate disclosures, assessments, and responses, leading to better communication and faster resolution." The introduction of dynamic machine translations addresses these issues and improves communication efficiency. With advanced artificial intelligence technology, this shared service allows end users to translate directly from the NAVEX One user interface. How machine translations work In the past, administrators encountered the repetitive task of manually copying text, relying on external translation tools, and then painstakingly inputting the translations to proceed with their workflow. However, with the introduction of the machine translations shared service built on Amazon Web Services (AWS), administrators are now equipped to address important matters promptly and efficiently, leading to quicker resolution rates. Moreover, administrators can assess third-party entities proficiently, regardless of the languages they speak or the answers they provide. The user-friendly NAVEX One interface makes translating disclosures, evaluations, and responses easy, promoting smooth communication and understanding. "By relying on the broadest and deepest set of cloud services on AWS, including Amazon Translate, NAVEX is able to use machine translations within the governance, risk and compliance space, directly tackling the complexities of multilingual communication,” stated Venky Nagapudi, Senior Product Management Leader, Amazon Translate, AWS. “The work between NAVEX and AWS makes it easy to translate disclosures, assessments, and responses, leading to better communication and faster resolution." Key benefits of NAVEX One machine translations include: Multilingual support: The system supports 75 languages, facilitating seamless communication with stakeholders worldwide. Accurate and reliable: Powered by advanced neural network technology, the feature ensures precise translation of critical information. Streamlined workflow: The translation functionality integrates seamlessly into existing GRC workflows, saving time and effort for administrators and responders. Cost-effective translations: Organizations can deliver faster results and decrease operational costs by reducing the need for external translation services. Data privacy: Advanced technical and physical measures, including encryption at rest and in transit, are used to prevent unauthorized access or sharing of content. Incorporating a dynamic machine translation service highlights NAVEX's continued commitment to fostering innovative solutions throughout the NAVEX One platform. By seamlessly integrating artificial intelligence and machine learning capabilities, NAVEX continues to empower companies to overcome language obstacles, promoting cross-cultural teamwork and elevating the effectiveness of GRC processes. As NAVEX continues to leverage AI and ML, it cements its position as a leader in cutting-edge technology within the GRC space. The NAVEX One GRC – Information System Multilingual Machine Translation marks a bold stride in NAVEX’s innovative journey following the recent launch of the NAVEX Compliance Assistant.

James Harden Celebrates First Anniversary of Launching J-Harden Wines

J-Harden Wines

NBA superstar James Harden is celebrating the first anniversary of launching J-Harden Wines by expanding distribution internationally, giving back to his fans around the globe, and elevating his support for female minority-owned businesses. Harden launched J-Harden Wines through a partnership with Accolade Wines in the summer of 2022 to make quality wine more accessible to all consumers. “I’m incredibly proud of what we accomplished in our first year of J-Harden Wines, starting with massive success in the U.S. and now expanding worldwide,” said Harden. “As a black-owned business owner, I want to make wine more available to all communities. I want people to know they can enjoy some of the finer things in life and do it at an affordable price.” Harden added, “As you’ve probably seen on TikTok and across social media, I’m literally doing cartwheels over the response we’ve seen for J-Harden Wines. I can’t wait to see what we accomplish in year two.” Harden recently wrapped up a tour of China, which joined the United States, Canada, Japan, Philippines, and Malaysia as countries that distribute J-Harden Wines. With Harden in the market for a series of appearances, China’s initial allocation of 16,000 bottles of J-Harden Wines sold out in minutes when it was released this week. J-Harden Wines plans to restock the supply in China to match demand. The success of J-Harden Wines internationally is a result of the momentum that Harden created in his first year in the wine business. He will visit with his U.S. fans during a visit to Houston’s Total Wine & More (2857 Katy Freeway, Suite 100) on Thursday, Aug. 24, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. J-Harden Wines and Harden will also support business grants for female minority-owned businesses, which will be given away at the Women’s Empowerment Brunch at Harden’s Thirteen Restaurant in Houston on Sunday, Aug. 20. J-Harden Wines will then participate in JH-Town Weekend, a series of fundraising events that support the Impact 13 Foundation, happening at the end of the month. “James has brought an elevated energy and enthusiasm to the wine industry through the launch of J-Harden Wines and its success over the last year,” said Enrique Morgan, Accolade’s Managing Director of the Americas. “We’ve accomplished so much together in a short period of time, and the response from his fans and our consumers has been incredible. We plan to continue making the wine more accessible in the United States and grow its distribution internationally.” Harden’s involvement in the J-Harden label goes far beyond an equity stake. Combining his love for fashion, art, style, and wine, Harden worked closely with the Accolade team to offer his input on the taste, look, and feel that matched his personality. Harden plays a significant role in the wine’s creative direction, design, and style. As a 10-time NBA All-Star and third-leading three-point scorer in NBA history, Harden continues to share his wine journey with fans across the country. Available in a California Cabernet Sauvignon, California Red Blend, and Prosecco, J-Harden Wines is available through leading retailers across the United States, including Total Wine & More, Kroger, Albertson’s/Safeway, H-E-B, BevMo!, and Target. Learn more at jhardenwines.com. About Accolade Wines Accolade Wines is a leading global wine company with famous wine brands loved around the world, including Hardys, St Hallett, Grant Burge, Banrock Station, Mud House, Petaluma, and many others. Accolade is a fully integrated business, managing the entire supply chain from grape to glass.

G MEDICAL INNOVATIONS WILL PROVIDE SERVICES TO VETERANS AND MILITARY PERSONNEL BY PARTNERING WITH RESILIENT SUPPORT SERVICES

G-Medical Innovations Holdings Ltd

Rehovot, Israel, August 17 th, 2023 – G Medical Innovations Holdings Ltd. (Nasdaq: GMVD) (“G Medical Innovations”), an industry innovator in comprehensive remote patient monitoring solutions, today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, G Medical Innovations USA, Inc., has entered into an agreement with Resilient Support Services Inc. (“RSS”) to expand the health care and remote patient monitoring capabilities to U.S. veterans and military personnel. RSS is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Business that partners with U.S. federal agencies and private sector businesses that are concerned with improving the medical care of veterans and the military community. G Medical Innovations’ innovative technology will help federal agencies and military personnel to better monitor and diagnose new onset cardiovascular symptoms as part of a growing need in virtual care. This will allow full access to near real-time patient information which will also be analyzed by certified cardiac monitoring technicians through G Medical Innovations’ own independent diagnostic testing facility. Available to both adult and pediatric patients, this cloud-based monitoring system includes a small, water-resistant monitor that patients will receive by mail or in person. Patient’s symptoms can then be monitored in near real-time from the comfort of their home. Those who experience unusual arrhythmias or other monitored symptoms receive immediate communication from providers, enabling greater access to care and, in some cases, earlier diagnoses of serious medical conditions. The use of the G Medical Prizma device will allow for state-of-the-art remote patient monitoring (RPM) in the comfort of their home. This care experience platform ensures that patients remain connected with their care teams through next-generation devices to improve clinical decision-making. The patients will be able to download the G Medical app and receive a digital health kit to measure biometric data in one single device. “We are excited to have G Medical Innovations provide their powerful technology and 31 test kits to those serving our country in veteran affairs and all military branches here and abroad. Innovations like this will help protect and improve the care of our veterans and military serving soldiers, now and into the future,” explained Robert Domenici, Lieutenant Colonel (USA Ret.) President and CEO, RSS Inc. “We are delighted to say that we could not find a better partner to serve veterans affairs and all military branches than RSS Inc. G Medical is committed to providing the highest level of care and service to our veterans and military personnel,” said Dr. Yacov Geva, Chief Executive Officer and Founder of G Medical Innovations.
