Eco Atlantic Oil & Gas CEO "extremely optimistic" with company's prospects in Guyana, SA and Namibia

Eco (Atlantic) Oil & Gas Ltd

Eco (Atlantic) Oil & Gas Ltd CEO Gil Holtzman joins Proactive's Stephen Gunnion with an update on the company's projects offshore Guyana, Namibia and South Africa. Holtzman noted that Eco has added to its sizeable stake in the Orinduik Block, offshore Guyana, after buying out exploration partner Tullow Oil. It comes after previous wells on the block failed to deliver a discovery but significantly, a substantial portion of the block’s prospectivity remains untested. In particular, the type of exploration play that yielded Exxon’s massive nearby discoveries has yet to be drilled in this neighbouring acreage, as under Tullow’s operatorship the partner previously went after alternative targets. Eco now intends to re-partner and go after these already de-risked prospects. Holtzman also provided details of the latest developments on the company's acreage positions in South Africa’s Orange Basin and the Walvis Basin off Namibia. Eco is actively involved in the global energy transition and aims to deliver material value for its stakeholders by exploring for hydrocarbons in some of the most prolific petroleum basins around the world. Eco aims to deliver material value for its stakeholders through its role in the energy transition to explore low carbon-consuming oil and gas in stable emerging markets near infrastructure.

News Release

Dr. Carolyn Lovewell celebrates over 50,000 sales of her book Existential Kink, a guide to completing shadow integration

Prodigy Press Wire

Dr. Carolyn Lovewell’s book, Existential Kink has now sold over 50,000 copies. The book is a valuable, humorous guide for learning how to unmask our unconscious repressed and taboo aspects. Readers can embark on a powerful journey of self-development that enables them to discover their inner power and finally live the life they deserve. Existential Kink was born from Dr. Lovewell’s struggles in her early twenties. As a graduate student, she was trapped in a tough situation: Couchsurfing and fighting poverty. On a conscious level, Carolyn felt that she despised her circumstances and would do anything to change them. However, on a normal day when she was waiting for a meal outside the local food kitchen, Carolyn questioned that belief. She pondered whether some unconscious part of her desired this scarcity. After a considerable amount of self-reflection and research into Jungian psychology and mystical procedures like the law of attraction, Carolyn discovered she actually had a previously unconscious enjoyment of her painful situation. Figuring out how to survive in such stressful situations was exhilarating for Carolyn. She enjoyed the uncertainty, but she still wanted to move through this era of scarcity. She remembered from her studies of Jungian psychology that repressed shadowy desires can only become conscious when given immense approval. So, Carolyn prioritized enjoying painful experiences so they could pass through her. She realized that life is made to be filled with an equal dose of happiness and suffering. Carolyn used this ideology in her darkest moments to be more compassionate with herself, to break her attachment to scarcity and to usher in abundance. Now a successful business owner, Carolyn has the life she has always wanted. She made her wishes come true by using the Existential Kink method to enjoy the hard parts of her life and change her relationship to them. The method may seem counterintuitive to embrace, but Carolyn explains that learning to cherish and savor your challenging circumstances instead of just accepting them will cause a mindset shift. You will no longer be at the mercy of your unconscious beliefs and assume that you’re doomed to live in sorrow. You’ll be addressing these buried emotions and fears, taking the power away from them and giving it to your conscious mind. Since releasing Existential Kink, Carolyn has heard thousands of amazing stories about how readers’ lives changed for the better. Whether they were struggling with romantic relationships, creativity, health, or financial strain, the book gave them a quick guide to overcoming their negative patterns in these arenas and allowing dramatic positive change. Unlike other books discussing shadow work, Existential Kink is a somatically oriented, fast-paced way to see monumental life changes. The book is straight to the point and leverages techniques for confronting and integrating polarities that society doesn’t fully accept. Carolyn uses life and death as an example since the world sees death as one of the worst events to encounter. Once readers learn how to accept two polarities fully, they can expand in spiritual awareness and live with more depth and meaning. Life allows us to create, enjoy, and discover great things, while death gives us the power to cut off things that no longer benefit us and realize the preciousness of each moment with our loved ones. While the experience Existential Kink readers will have is subjective, Carolyn predicts that more people will seek out her teachings to integrate the unconscious desires that shape their lives, face their fears and enter brighter chapters of their lives.

News Direct Adapts to the Changing Landscape of News Distribution

News Direct

In response to the evolving dynamics in the news industry, News Direct, an innovative, key player in the newswire business, is taking proactive steps to redefine its role in the world of news distribution. The recent trend of major online publishers reducing their focus on news content has spurred News Direct to diversify its product offerings and amplify its digital presence. An October 19th New York Times article, co-authored by Mike Isaac, Katie Robertson, and Nico Grant, highlighted the concerning shift in the online publishing industry. Leading platforms like Facebook, X, Instagram, and Google are minimizing their support for news content. This trend not only affects the media landscape but also has profound implications for the public relations (PR) profession. News Direct occupies a unique position at the intersection between news and PR. It has observed the gradual diminishing effectiveness of traditional news releases in gaining earned media coverage, causing the focus to shift towards the posting of news releases on online platforms like Yahoo! Finance, social media channels like X (formerly known as Twitter) and harnessing the power of SEO. In response to these changes, News Direct is embarking on an intentional effort to diversify its product mix. In addition to pushing out content across its global network, the company is now focused on content amplification by becoming both a distributor of, and a destination for, such content. The primary catalyst for this shift is the dramatic surge in domain authority and organic traffic to newsdirect.com. Two key factors have contributed to this rise to Internet prominence. First, News Direct introduced " Digital Asset Direct ", a feature unique in the industry, allowing the distribution of standalone multimedia content over its newswire without the requirement of embedding it within a text-based news release. Such digital content, particularly video, aligns with Google's preference for multimedia, further enhancing the News Direct platform's performance in search results. Secondly, News Direct launched its Sponsored Content product, Town Square, which has seen thousands of sponsored articles published on the website. This has driven a substantial increase in organic traffic, organic keywords, and backlinks, significantly boosting domain ranking and authority. The success of these strategies has encouraged News Direct to expand its product suite to include podcasting ( News Direct Podcast Channel ), guest blogs ( Blog Buffet ), and soon, video/webinars. These offerings enable clients to leverage News Direct's website popularity and employ multiple influential formats to attract and engage audiences. Notably, News Direct posts this content but does not host it, ensuring that visitors are directed to the issuer's preferred site, such as YouTube. This approach provides a symbiotic relationship, whereby News Direct's web traffic benefits content creators, and in turn, that traffic is driven to the content creators' preferred hosting domains. The visitor universe of News Direct's website is diverse, attracting audiences from the PR, IR, and marketing communities, individual and institutional investors, journalists, consumers, and more. Thus, the digital environment acts as a melting pot, catering to various segments of society on a global scale. According to News Direct founder and CEO, Gregg Castano, "We at News Direct recognize that the challenges in the news distribution landscape present opportunities for innovation. To quote Winston Churchill, 'A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.' The dramatic pivot by online publishers most definitely will create obstacles for the PR profession, but we're optimistic that effective use of technology will provide viable alternatives for content amplification. While this is not the sole solution, News Direct is confident that it is a valuable option." About News Direct News Direct is a technology-driven content distribution and amplification platform for PR, IR, corporate communications and marketing professionals. Our automated platform delivers a completely reimagined, modernized user experience for newswire users that has reshaped the industry landscape. Additionally, the company has expanded its offerings to include an array of technology-enhanced message amplification tools ranging from sponsored content to podcasting products, all from one online destination.

The 2023 International Conference on Education Innovation: Redefining Learning Trends with AI

CommonWealth Education Media & Publishing

TAIPEI, TAIWAN - Media OutReach - 20 October 2023 - The rapid development of artificial intelligence in recent years has opened the way for AI to revolutionize learning. The most talked-about education-related topic in 2023 is how AI and other examples of cutting-edge technology can change the way we teach our children. Concurrently, interdisciplinary learning that revolves around urban centers is also catching on around the world thanks to its culturally rich, explorative nature. The main theme of the 2023 International Conference on Education Innovation, hosted by CommonWealth Education Media & Publishing, was "AI x Education: Redefining Learning". The topics of discussion focused on education goals, learning methods, and a deep dive into "why we learn" in the era of AI. In addition to the insightful discourse on global education trends, an exciting new program in this year's forum was the series of individual seminars that zeroed in on specific concepts, such as career planning, hands-on learning, and OPEN365, an invigorating new approach to improving education with outside-the-box thinking. The aim of the conference was to inject new ideas into Taiwan's education innovation ecosystem, so that it may have a lasting effect on the education system. Nearly a thousand parents and education workers participated in the annual extravaganza. A special highlight of the conference was the talk on "The World is Your School: Making Learning Fun with Technology", which saw Teachers Lead Tech founder Monika Katkute sharing success stories from Lithuania, in which EdTech helped students expand their understanding of the world. Hsiao-Yue Tsao, Chair of the Graduate Institute of Interactive Media Design at National Taipei University of Technology, spoke about cooperation between businesses and academia that aims to advance technological education. With her guidance, participants were able to experience the new era of the Metaverse, as well as inspiring new applications in AR, VR, and XR tech that showcased the creativity and diversity of Taiwan's education scene. Taiwan's booming EdTech industry was another area of great interest, as speakers shared case studies about how AI was used to teach students to play Go, the contribution of robots and the Internet of things (IoT) on campuses, interactive online courses, the utilization of tech to promote aesthetic education for children, etc. The rich tapestry of seminars and exhibitions allowed participants to witness live demonstrations on how AI and technology can be integrated into learning. The audience was wowed by different tech applications and how technology can turn the world of education on its head while creating new business opportunities. The proposed end goal is to change the methods of "teaching" and "learning" so that the ideal of "Personalized Learning" can become reality. The 2023 International Conference on Education Innovation hosted by CommonWealth Education Media & Publishing will continue to use its media influence to build new platforms for education innovation. Through in-depth dialogue and the free sharing of ideas, it is hoped that the education ecosystem will thrive and bring about greater cooperation between academia and the private sector.

Navigating The Waves: Techberry's Social Analytical Trading Insight

Benzinga

By James Wells, Benzinga In the past, forex investors were frequently viewed as a select group who honed their skills through special training or contacts within the sector. However, forex investors are mostly self-taught and use social media to hone their talents. Today, a key component to being a good forex investor is social analysis, which brings together the knowledge, perceptions and suggestions of seasoned experts. Specialized social trading platforms have appeared in addition to well-known platforms like Facebook or Twitter. These online tools give users the chance to learn by emulating the trading methods of seasoned professionals. However, there are difficulties in the vast world of social analytics and copy trade. Navigating the forex market can be difficult due to the $7.5 trillion in daily trading volume, the large number of traders to keep track of and the complicated economic issues involved. Enter TechBerry, the link between profitable FX trading and social insights. TechBerry is a leader in the field of social automated trading and sifts through a variety of social data points. Since its introduction, its sophisticated AI algorithms have continuously provided investors with sharp strategies that have generated a notable 11.2% monthly return. These algorithms prioritize profitability and success likelihood. TechBerry's Revolutionary Trading Platform At the heart of TechBerry is an innovative take on social forex, providing users with continuous access to market dynamics. By utilizing data from a large network of over 100,000 experienced traders and analyzing their digital footprints, TechBerry goes beyond conventional analytical techniques to forecast market trends. Aiming for long-term success, TechBerry's advanced AI system painstakingly selects potential trading opportunities. Partnerships with respected third parties like FX Audit, FX Blue and MyFxbook – which guarantee data accuracy and dependable trade analysis – add to the platform's trustworthiness. TechBerry has continuously demonstrated a monthly return average of 11.2% since its launch in 2015, enabling many investors to navigate the difficulties of getting profit from FX trading more confidently. The Importance Of Social Analysis In Trading Social media provides immediate access to a wealth of information for international investors, but it also has pitfalls that might prevent profitable trading. The large, data-rich digital environment needs to be more cohesive and comprehensible to humans. Social media platforms can be rife with false information, which encourages traders to frequently follow the crowd. Because of this herd mentality, performance can suffer as a result of repeating techniques. In addition, inexperienced traders may ignore the seasoned knowledge and lessons necessary for consistent profitability if they are overconfident. The TechBerry Advantage TechBerry provides a solution by painstakingly examining social metrics. With its AI-focused methodology, traders are given insights that go beyond simple human judgment. TechBerry analyzes the trading methods of over 100,000 forex specialists to identify market biases, nuances and patterns that might go unnoticed by individual traders. This automatic skill creates customized trading strategies in line with the individual investing goals of each user. Additionally, a wide range of consumers can access passive income through TechBerry's platform. Even people who are new to forex can benefit from pre-configured strategies because of the platform’s sophisticated sociological research – reducing the requirement for in-depth trading knowledge to quite an extent. As a result, busy professionals can benefit from TechBerry's automatic features to ensure the best profitability without ongoing market monitoring. Striking The Balance: TechBerry's Pros And Cons Although TechBerry offers several standout features, examining areas where it may come short is equally crucial. Here is an overview of the pros and cons of TechBerry: Pros: Effortless Earnings: TechBerry supports the concept of passive income. Its automated trading system is made for people who prefer to take a set-it-and-forget-it approach and hand over control to the platform's algorithms. Proven Performance: TechBerry goes beyond making empty promises. Its record indicates steady profitability with a commendable average monthly return of 11.2% since 2015 and a trading losses reimbursement on trades that are guaranteed by insurance up to a limited amount. Intelligence At Work: The sophisticated AI-driven trading mechanism that powers TechBerry is at the platform's core. This guarantees that the software is discerning profitable trading opportunities rather than simply responding to market data. Cons: Autonomy Constraints: TechBerry excels in automation, but people who want manual control may find it to be a drawback. Decisions made by the platform based on its analysis may not always coincide with a trader's personal approach or gut feeling. TechBerry: The Future Of Forex Trading? TechBerry is a leader in utilizing social research in the forex market. It identifies the right potential trading chances by carefully analyzing massive amounts of trading data using AI algorithms. This simplified method assists both new and seasoned traders and positions them favorably in the fluid Forex market. This post contains sponsored content.

Find Those Hard-To-Borrow Stocks More Easily With Centerpoint.ca, The Service Helping Make Investing In US Markets Easier For Canadians

Benzinga

By Meg Flippin, Benzinga With interest rates still rising, a U.S. election on the horizon and an unpredictable job market, stock markets are volatile. That may spook some investors, but for more active traders, especially those residing in Canada, it could spell opportunity in good and bad times. By investing in U.S. stocks, Canadian investors are able to diversify geographically, access a variety of industries and access two markets that tend to outperform at different times. From 2002 to 2009 the Toronto Stock Exchange did better as the U.S. dealt with a deep recession. From 2011 to 2021 it was the Nasdaq’s turn to outperform. The divergence makes sense given that Canada’s stock market is weighted heavily with energy, financial and industrial stocks, while the U.S. stock market is more tech and communications-heavy. With U.S. stocks you also get access to some of the world’s biggest growth companies like Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: APPL), Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ: MSFT) and Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN), and stocks like Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) offer exposure to high-growth industries like AI. Of the world’s investable market, the U.S. accounts for nearly 60%. CenterPoint.ca Makes Access To U.S. Stocks Easier For Canadians When it comes to investing in U.S. stocks, active Canadian traders don’t have endless options. Especially if they want an extensive list of stocks they can short. CenterPoint Securities, backed by ClearStreet – the fintech with over $400 million in capital – is helping change that. Last month, it launched CenterPoint.ca, an advanced trading platform that gives active Canadian traders and investors access to U.S. stocks and options. CenterPoint made a name for itself in the U.S. among traders and investors who demand an extensive short inventory – and it's now bringing that to Canada. Short Trades Made Easy Your short trade is only as good as the amount of shares available to borrow. You don’t want to spend time setting up a trade only to not execute because of a lack of availability. To minimize that from happening, CenterPoint has an exhaustive list of over 5,000 easy-to-borrow stocks that are updated daily. For more experienced traders, CenterPoint grants access to hard-to-borrow stocks and locates. Shorting stocks that require a locate means they are much harder to secure. To get them investors often have to request a short locate with their broker, who then has to actively search for the shares. As a result, there are usually fees during the search and when the order is fulfilled. With CenterPoint, you don’t have that added step. Traders and investors can locate stocks to short directly from the trading platform. Simply enter the ticker and number of shares to borrow, and the short locate tool does the work. If the shares are available to locate, you’ll know exactly how much the fee will be so you can make an informed decision. With CenterPoint’s tool, you don’t pay any fees unless you accept the locate. Backed By In-House Securities Lending Team CenterPoint’s locate tool is backed by an in-house securities lending team that is skilled at finding hard-to-short stocks. At CenterPoint, over 100 million shares are located monthly, and more than 20,000 locate orders are filled. The average order fill size is over 4,000. Not many other brokerages, including ones entering the Canadian market, can say the same. Diversification isn’t only about investing in different sectors or asset classes, international exposure can also be a great diversification strategy. For active traders, CenterPoint.ca makes it easy to invest in one of the biggest stock markets in the world. This post contains sponsored content.
