LOS ANGELES, Oct. 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- As the number of pet owners continues to rise across the U.S., K9 Resorts Luxury Pet Hotel maintains its consistent growth in adding new franchisees to the system. Most recently, the multi-award-winning luxury boarding and dog daycare franchise brand inked a pivotal multi-unit agreement to bring 11 locations to Los Angeles County. The first resort will be located at 11121 Hindry Avenue in Los Angeles, just 10 minutes away from the LAX Airport, which marks K9 Resort's first location near an airport.

Behind the Franchise Agreement:

• Lia Moncholi is the Chief Operating Officer of Luxury Pet Hotel Investments, LLC (LPHI), a group of franchisees – formerly known as Partners Pacific Resorts, LLC – who invested $10M into the brand earlier this year.
• After spending more than two decades in the banking industry where she specialized in bringing brands to new markets and enhancing the customer and employee experience, Moncholi retired for a couple of years and then joined LPHI.
• Zack Nisbet is a Regional Operator of LPHI and will be overseeing the operations of all the LA resorts, as well as eight locations coming to the Greater Chicago area.
• Prior to becoming a franchisee, he earned an undergraduate degree in computer science and worked in the semiconductor manufacturing industry for a few years. Nisbet then returned to school to earn a master's degree in business and raised money to invest in a business, which ultimately ended up being K9 Resorts.

"We were all impressed with the brand and model that K9 has established – from the designs of the locations to franchisee support, their team's high-end attention to detail shines through in every element of the business," said Moncholi. "This opportunity particularly resonated with me because of my background in customer service, and K9 is providing the ultimate care and service to every dog and dog parent that walks through their doors."

Nisbet's parents owned a dog-centric business while he was growing up, and with his love for dogs, he knew it was the direction he wanted to pursue. He worked in a few resorts over several months to thoroughly learn and get engrained into the business. Nisbet added that "no brand is doing what K9 Resorts is, and doing it so well."

Luxury Pet Hotel Investments, LLC is K9 Resorts' largest group of franchisees and has raised $30M to bring a total of 30 locations across the U.S.: eight in Chicago, 11 in Los Angeles, and 11 across Virginia/DC. The first Los Angeles location, just minutes from LAX, will offer pet parents an ideal solution for boarding their pets during travel. This marks the first K9 Resorts near a major airport, a key step in the company's strategy to expand into high-traffic, convenient locations.

K9 Resorts is leading the pack among luxury pet care franchises with more than 170 resorts across 28 states currently operating or in various stages of development. With pet boarding expected to become a $35.8 billion industry by 2031, K9 is poised to further dominate the sector with its proven franchise opportunity.

"There is a great demand for high-quality pet care as more people are bringing pets into their homes," said Jason Parker, Co-Founder and CEO of K9 Resorts Franchising, LLC. "The growth we've experienced this year is a testament to our brand – and that franchisees believe in it just as much as we do. It also speaks volumes when a franchisee continues to scale with our brand, and we look forward to seeing Lia, Zack and their team continue to build success."

K9 Resorts is actively seeking single and multi-unit owners to bring luxury pet boarding and daycare to their community.

Originally purchased by West for $57 million in 2021, the property gained notoriety when he embarked on an ambitious renovation project that saw extensive alterations, including the removal of flooring, electrical systems, and appliances. Despite West's initial vision, the home remained unfinished and was listed for sale in January 2024 for $53 million. After a price reduction to $39 million in April, Belwood's CEO Bo Belmont recognized an opportunity and made an initial offer of $20 million. Following brief negotiations, the final sale price was agreed upon at $21 million, with escrow closing on September 26, 2024.

Belwood Investments plans to restore the property to its original design as envisioned by renowned architect Tadao Ando. To ensure a successful transformation, the firm will enlist the expertise of Marmol Radziner, the original architectural firm contracted to develop the project for previous owner Richard Sachs. This partnership highlights Belwood's commitment to quality and authenticity in high-end real estate restoration.

"Acquiring this iconic property is a testament to our dedication to providing exceptional investment opportunities," said Bo Belmont. "Our goal is to restore this home to its full potential while making luxury real estate accessible to a broader audience. We believe that investing in real estate should be exciting, and we're looking forward to sharing this journey with our investors."

Belwood Investments sets itself apart in the real estate market by offering everyday individuals the chance to acquire fractional ownership in premium properties via a user-friendly mobile app. Opportunities start as low as $1,000, and each ownership share is backed by a Deed of Trust, ensuring that participants' contributions are directly connected to the property. With a solid history of delivering significant returns, the company has earned a reputation as a leader in fractional real estate ownership.

Since its establishment in 2018, Belwood has rapidly evolved from its humble beginnings in Folsom, CA. Two years ago, the company opened an office in Huntington Beach, CA, and has recently relocated to a larger office in Newport Beach to facilitate further expansion. This strategic move positions Belwood to continue exploring new real estate investments while enhancing the offerings available to its investors.

"We're excited to announce that we have some fun updates coming to our app, which will not only introduce new investment opportunities but also provide features that make real estate investing more engaging and immersive," added Belmont. "Belwood's B52 Model takes away the headaches and stress typically associated with traditional fix-and-flip methods, allowing our investors to enjoy the returns without the hassle."

Belwood Investments is committed to expanding its portfolio of premium properties, continuously seeking out exceptional opportunities that offer significant investment potential. With a focus on quality, community, and innovation, Belwood aims to redefine how everyday individuals can participate in the luxury real estate market.

DKBmed is an integrated continuing medical education company operated by an experienced team of medical education professionals and the finest faculty in the country.

Free Health Events November 2 and 9 Support Underserved Communities in Collaboration with Sunshine Cathedral and Chainless Change

— Dean Beals, president and CEO of DKBmed

FORT LAUDERDALE, FL, UNITED STATES, October 31, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- DKBmed, an integrated continuing medical education company, is launching two innovative healthcare initiatives in South Florida aimed at addressing the region's high rates of HIV and food insecurity. These free, public initiatives - “Feeding Souls, Protecting Bodies: HIV Outreach in South Florida,” a Health Fair and Farmer’s Market at Sunshine Cathedral (1480 SW 9th Avenue in Fort Lauderdale) on November 2, from 9 a.m. to noon, and “Lifestylez Community Health Expo,” a collaboration with Chainless Change, on November 9, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., at Reverend Samuel Delevoe Memorial Park (2520 NW 6th Street in Fort Lauderdale) reflect DKBmed's commitment to education and outreach as part of its mission to close the gaps in healthcare access for vulnerable populations.

“As part of our mission at DKBmed, we believe that healthcare access should be comprehensive and inclusive, especially for populations that are often overlooked. These two initiatives reflect our commitment to addressing both the medical and social needs of vulnerable communities in South Florida,” said Dean Beals, president and CEO of DKBmed. “By combining healthcare services with education and outreach, we aim to make a meaningful impact on the lives of those most at risk for HIV and other serious conditions.”

On November 2, the public will have access to free health screenings along with fresh produce and pantry staples, addressing both nutritional and medical needs of high-risk individuals. A significant focus will be on increasing HIV testing and treatment, particularly through the enhanced use of PrEP. Medical staff from Holy Cross Health will be on-site to offer health education, pamphlets (in English, Spanish, and Creole) and free screenings for HIV, as well as blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, Hepatitis C, and syphilis. Referral coordinators will also be present to help patients schedule follow-up visits with healthcare providers.

The public effort is a derivative of a comprehensive education effort “Feeding Souls, Protecting Bodies: HIV Outreach in South Florida” program, which aims to educate providers who serve populations with higher rates of HIV due to social determinants of health by addressing those disparities to improve patient outcomes, particularly regarding testing rates and PrEP utilization. Delivered in partnership with Sunshine Cathedral, the program is designed to reach underserved communities in South Florida through a series of fresh farmers markets and health fairs, providing free access to nutritious food and health screenings. Sunshine Cathedral’s current food sharing ministry reaches 750+ people each week through a Wednesday morning food pantry and weekend distribution; those they reach are 80% BIPOC, largely senior citizens, queer-identifying, lower-income, and/or formerly unhoused veterans.

According to Feeding America, the Fort Lauderdale area has a significant population of people with food insecurity. Food insecurity is associated with poor nutrition, chronic disease, and lack of health care access. Between 25% and 80% of people living with HIV experience food insecurity, and they have significantly worse HIV-specific health outcomes. Screening people who attend a food pantry/farmer’s market may identify people living with HIV who are either unaware of their diagnosis or not engaged in care.

The “Lifestylez Community Health Expo,” a partnership with Chainless Change, on November 9, offers a collaborative program with several healthcare providers. There will be vital education and resources including free HIV and STI testing, as well as screenings for hepatitis C, colon cancer, and diabetes. All are welcome to engage with health professionals, learn about disease prevention and engage in self-care activities such as massages and yoga. Attendees can access free HIV and STI testing, as well as free screenings provided by Holy Cross Health Services for hepatitis C, colon cancer and diabetes. There will be free food and raffle prizes for those who take advantage of the free health screenings and resources plus entertainment from South Florida’s WEDR 99 Jamz radio station. Participating organizations include OIC of South Florida, SunServe, F Fentanyl Inc., AIDS Healthcare Foundation, Oxford House, EatWell Exchange, Care Resource, TRIO Educational Opportunity Center at Broward College, MAV massage aesthetics vanity, FLITE Center, Ambetter operated by Sunshine Health, Fellowship Recovery Community Organization, Fairway Future Golf, The Poverello Center, South Florida Afro Pride Federation INC, 1 Smile, Yoga 4 Change, Crystal Love Therapy with Life Gardening Tools, and Community Based Connections.

The health expo, part of the larger Rebuilding Lives: Improving Care in HIV program supported through an educational grant from Gilead Sciences, Inc, aims to educate healthcare providers and staff at Chainless Change on STI and HIV prevention and treatment while establishing a patient-provider referral network. The project's overarching goal is to connect justice-impacted communities with testing, treatment, and knowledge that promotes health equity. This program aims to improve HIV outcomes for formerly incarcerated individuals, a population five times more likely to contract HIV compared to the general population.

While the incidence of HIV in the United States has been declining and progress in HIV prevention is being made, the progress is not uniform, and significant disparities based on race, ethnicity, and region exist. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Florida, specifically, has one of the nation’s highest rates of HIV diagnosis, with 21.7 per 100,000, compared with national rate of 12.7 per 100,000.4 AIDSVu relates that In Fort Lauderdale, the rate is 36 per 100,000.5.

Search Made Simple: Travelers can use the Smart Filter tool to describe their ideal property in their own words. For instance, a couple traveling to Amsterdam for their honeymoon might type, "Hotels in Amsterdam with a great gym, a rooftop bar, and canal views from the room." GenAI then scans Booking.com's entire inventory to automatically apply the most relevant filters, saving time and effort while delivering a tailored list of properties that match their preferences. This feature removes the need for manual filtering, making it easier for travelers to find the perfect stay.Answers at Your Fingertips: With Property Q&A^[1], travelers can ask specific questions about a property, like "Are there charging stations for electric vehicles onsite?" or "Does the hotel's pet policy accept large dogs?" GenAI instantly retrieves relevant information from the property listing, traveler reviews, and photos. By gathering curated, concise, answers in one place, this feature empowers customers to quickly evaluate if a property meets their needs, enabling confident booking decisions.

GenAI Reviews: To help travelers make even more informed decisions, Booking.com is testing Review Summaries, designed to provide key insights about a property without the need to browse through numerous reviews. After further optimization, the tool will further distill reviews into tailored summaries to highlight what matters most to them, whether that is parking availability or wheelchair accessibility.

The Smart Filter and Property Q&A features are currently live and available to customers in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, and Singapore via mobile app, while Review Summaries will be rolled out following further experimentation.

"Our journey with AI for over a decade has always been about leveraging technology to make travel more intuitive and personalized, helping us fulfill our mission to make it easier for everyone to experience the world," said Joe Futty, VP of Product Marketplace at Booking.com. "With GenAI, we're not just enhancing the trip planning process - we're facilitating more tailored experiences that adapt and respond to travelers' needs faster than ever before. Looking ahead, we're excited about our future plans, where GenAI will play a proactive role in managing trips, helping travelers navigate disruptions like flight cancellations with real-time solutions, making the entire travel experience smoother and more seamless."

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- At Meridian 2024 in London, U.K., the Stellar Development Foundation announced a new partnership with Mastercard to integrate the company's Crypto Credential solution with the Stellar network.

Mastercard Crypto Credential, which helps verify interactions among consumers and businesses using blockchain networks, will be embedded in the Stellar ecosystem as the exclusive credentialing solution to enable a range of secure, compliant use cases for crypto wallet providers including Coins.ph, Mercado Bitcoin, and Wirex.

Today, the user experience of cryptocurrency transfers is still complex, which can create a barrier to adoption. With Mastercard Crypto Credential, crypto remittances can be simply initiated using the recipient's email address. Behind the scenes, Mastercard Crypto Credential ensures the destination is valid, that it can accept the selected digital asset, and complies with regulatory requirements.

Mastercard Crypto Credential confirms interactions among consumers and businesses, providing some peace-of-mind that a user has met a set of verification standards. The solution also brings more trust and certainty to the process through the exchange of metadata and supports transferring the information needed for cross-border transactions.

Stellar and Mastercard work will initially focus on enabling credentialing for remittances and peer-to-peer transfers – pairing the user-friendly experience of Mastercard Crypto Credential with the Stellar network's fast settlement times and low fee structure. As an extension of the partnership, Mastercard and Stellar will explore how Mastercard's wide range of services can be leveraged on the Stellar network, opening doors for additional new and innovative applications of blockchain technology.

This collaboration marks a significant step forward in making cryptocurrency transactions more user-friendly and secure. The Stellar network has a large network of on-and-off-ramps that enable cash-to-crypto transactions around the globe and an ecosystem of trusted financial institutions with a variety of regulated, tokenized real-world assets.

This integration demonstrates the power of partnership to develop the future of blockchain technology. By simplifying transactions and enhancing security, the integration of Mastercard Crypto Credential into the Stellar network is helping to make blockchain technology more accessible and appealing to a broader audience, with the goal of fostering wider adoption and mainstream use.

Quote Sheet

"The Stellar network was designed to be fast, affordable and to demonstrate blockchain technology's ability to solve real problems for people," said Denelle Dixon, CEO of the Stellar Development Foundation. "Collaborating with Mastercard to integrate Mastercard Crypto Credential into the Stellar ecosystem will make transferring funds safer and faster, enabling a wide range of use cases and further driving adoption of blockchain technology."

"We designed Mastercard Crypto Credential to bring more trust and innovation to the digital assets ecosystem," said Raj Dhamodharan, executive vice president, Blockchain & Digital Assets at Mastercard. "Bringing our technology, standards and infrastructure together with Stellar's commitment to powering commerce using blockchain technology, we are paving the way for safer, simpler, and more secure digital assets."

"As the largest exchange in the Philippines, Coins.ph is at the forefront of driving innovation in the financial landscape, making Mastercard's Crypto Credential on Stellar a perfect fit for us. In 2023, remittances to the Philippines reached $37.2 billion, highlighting the vast potential to bring millions on-chain—many of whom will experience the benefits of crypto for the first time, starting with fast and low-cost cross-border transactions made possible through our collaboration," said Coins.ph CEO Wei Zhou.

"Joining forces with Mastercard and Stellar through Crypto Credential enables us to offer our customers more secure, compliant, and seamless crypto transactions," said Fabrício Tota, senior vice president, New Business Development at Mercado Bitcoin. "This collaboration strengthens our ability to innovate and connect traditional finance with blockchain solutions in Brazil and beyond."

Pavel Matveev, Co-Founder of Wirex said: "Joining Mastercard's Crypto Credential on the Stellar network represents a significant evolution for Wirex. By integrating with such a robust network, we're able to deliver on our promise of making crypto more accessible and usable for everyday financial needs. We believe this collaboration will pave the way for even more innovative applications of blockchain technology and drive the future of digital payments."

As virtual meetings dominate the professional landscape, eyelid surgery emerges as a popular choice for those looking to refresh their online appearance.

At the forefront of this trend is blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, which has become one of the top-requested procedures for professionals seeking to refresh their appearance. Dr. Frank L. Stile, a renowned cosmetic plastic surgeon at Stile Aesthetics in Las Vegas, reports a sharp increase in patients—especially men—opting for eyelid surgery to appear more youthful and alert on and off camera.

With the eyes being one of the first features to show signs of aging, such as drooping eyelids or under-eye bags, blepharoplasty has proven to be a highly effective way to create a more refreshed and youthful appearance. This is particularly important for professionals navigating the increasingly visual world of online business, where first impressions are now made through the camera lens.

"Video calls have changed the way people perceive themselves and make them more conscious of their appearance," says Dr. Stile. "Many of my patients, especially men, are looking to achieve a rejuvenated look without looking 'overdone.' Blepharoplasty offers a natural way to enhance their appearance, making them feel more confident both online and in-person."

Dr. Stile and the team at Stile Aesthetics specialize in creating subtle, natural results that improve patients' overall confidence. As one of the leading plastic surgery practices in Las Vegas, Stile Aesthetics has seen an influx of professionals from all industries, particularly men, seeking eyelid surgery to improve their appearance on screen.

Incorporating male plastic surgery into the conversation, Stile Aesthetics has noted an increase in men requesting procedures like upper eyelid surgery and lower blepharoplasty to address drooping eyelids and puffiness. As male plastic surgery becomes more normalized, procedures like eyelid surgery are seen as minimally invasive yet highly effective options for men looking to stay competitive in the workplace and feel their best.

For professionals who are concerned about how they appear on video calls, now is the ideal time to consider eyelid surgery. Stile Aesthetics is offering complimentary consultations to discuss whether blepharoplasty is right for you. With flexible scheduling and the expert care of Dr. Stile and his team, patients can explore personalized options for enhancing their appearance. Interested individuals are encouraged to schedule their consultation today and learn how a simple eyelid procedure can make a dramatic impact on both their personal and professional lives.

CONCORD, Calif., Oct. 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- For the second quarter of 2024, The North Star Capital Fund LLC ("Fund") reported an outstanding 13.5% average APR net return since inception for its Fund Members who have reinvested or "rolled over" all their distributions. The Fund had another strong quarter, reporting a 9.1% APR net return to the Fund's Members, well within its guidelines of 8.0-10.0%. Since inception, the average APR net return for Fund Members that take quarterly distributions has been 11.0%. "The Fund continues to outperform similar funds by close to 50%," states John W. Simonse, President of LHJS Investments LLC ("LHJS") and a Managing Member of the Fund. "For investors who prefer an investment secured by California real estate, one that does not rely on the unpredictability of the stock market, The North Star Capital Fund is a proven choice. The Fund managers have the combined wisdom of over one hundred years of experience in real estate. They have been through many real estate market cycles and are well-equipped to handle any problems that may arise.

"The 2025 outlook for the Fund and the economy is very positive due to the decrease in interest rates," states Mr. Simonse. "The real estate market is highly dependent on loan interest rates. After the Fed cut interest rates half a percent at the September meeting, mortgage rates responded by dropping to 6% for 30-year fixed and 5.5% for 15-year loans. Most analysts expect the Fed to cut rates another half point by the end of the year and a full point in 2025. As rates drop, housing prices are expected to increase. For buyers who have been on the fence, the best time to buy will be around the end of the year, when there is less competition with other buyers and before home prices jump up."

Mr. Simonse continues, "In California, single-family median home prices this year were up statewide about 5% over last year. They are predicted to be up an additional 6% next year. However, much of this growth is occurring in outlying areas, not in the big cities. For example, the housing market in San Francisco, once the bellwether of rising real estate prices, is expected to continue to decline next year, with prices dropping an additional 3-5% due to affordability problems, poor governance, and the lack of office workers.  While on the other hand, prices in Los Angeles and the Greater Los Angeles area should continue to rise moderately."

About The North Star Capital Fund LLC

The Fund provides construction, remodeling, and other business-purpose loans in the Bay Area and the greater Los Angeles area, where the demand for construction lending is extremely high.

The North Star Capital Fund is open to accredited investors only. Call now if you would like to invest in trust deeds alongside Mr. Simonse and his partners.

NEW YORK, Oct. 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Humane League (THL), a global nonprofit working to end the abuse of animals raised for food, launches a consumer-led campaign urging Crumbl Cookies to adopt a 100% cage-free egg policy. A petition against Crumbl, the fastest-growing cookie chain in the U.S. with over 1,000 locations, already has more than 50,000 signatures from consumers asking Crumbl to stop sourcing eggs from hens raised in filthy, archaic cages. Crumbl was called out in the Cage-Free Eggsposé for lagging behind competitors like Krispy Kreme and Dairy Queen in more responsible egg sourcing.

Co-founded by cousins Jason McGowan and Sawyer Hemsley outside Salt Lake City, Utah, Crumbl sells an average of 1 million cookies per day, with their recipes relying on eggs from suffering caged hens. With the growing demand for more ethical products, now is the time for Crumbl to make a positive change for both its brand and animal welfare. By going 100% cage-free, Crumbl could improve the lives of an estimated 200,000 hens annually.

"Crumbl has attempted to build a fun and fresh image, but the reality behind its products is anything but," says Emily Raap, Senior Campaigns Lead at The Humane League. "Crumbl's refusal to address consumer concerns and use cage-free eggs in its recipes puts the corporation behind the times, especially when its competitors have already made the switch. It's time for Crumbl to step up and show they care about more than just profits."

Despite Crumbl's viral popularity and rapid expansion, the company still uses eggs from hens confined to cruel cages—a practice increasingly condemned by consumers, with eleven U.S. states now banning the sale and/or production of eggs from hens raised in cages. With declining public trust and per-store profits down by 58%, The Humane League urges Crumbl to modernize its animal welfare practices and commit to sourcing 100% cage-free eggs.

The Humane League is amplifying voices from dissatisfied customers frustrated by Crumbl's corporate practices, which include complaints about high prices, excessive sugar content, and dangerous ingredients. "More sugar doesn't equal flavor," reads one review, while another criticizes Crumbl as "a gimmick that will flame out" if they don't make changes. Not only does the company seem to not care about animal welfare, but it also does not seem to care about consumers' dietary restrictions to dairy, gluten, and more.

Increased consumer concern about the archaic conditions faced by chickens in cramped, wire cages—no bigger than the space of an iPad per bird with no room to even spread their wings—has led to the growing demand for cage-free eggs. Globally, The Humane League, alongside the Open Wing Alliance, has rallied consumers to encourage more than 2,620 food companies to pledge to eliminate cages from their egg supply chains. In the U.S. alone, more than 510 businesses are committed to source 100% cage-free eggs. As of September 2024, 41.7% of the egg-laying hens in the U.S. are raised in cage-free facilities. Despite this significant progress, over four billion hens worldwide still suffer in tiny, cramped cages that prevent them from engaging in crucial, natural behaviors. With eleven U.S. states now with laws banning the sale and/or production of eggs from hens raised in cages, "[restaurants] operating in these states must be prepared to comply with these laws to avoid civil fines, criminal animal cruelty charges, and in some cases, jail time."

Join over 50,000 consumers in signing the petition against Crumbl Cookies and visit CrumblCruelty.com for more information about Crumbl's refusal to source cage-free eggs. To learn more about the harms of raising hens in cages, visit EndCages.com.

About The Humane League The Humane League is a global animal protection nonprofit that exists to end the abuse of animals raised for food. Since its founding in 2005, The Humane League has focused on effectively ending the worst abuses in factory farming, securing strong animal welfare commitments from major foodservice providers, restaurants, food manufacturers, and hospitality leaders around the world, changing the lives of billions of farm animals suffering every day.

BUIDL invests 100% of its total assets in cash, U.S. Treasury bills, and repurchase agreements, allowing investors the opportunity to earn U.S. dollar yield while holding the token on-chain.

BOSTON, Oct. 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Rockpoint, a Boston-based real estate private equity firm, today announced the sale of a two-building industrial property located on Sanyo Avenue in Otay Mesa, California (the "Property") to Badiee Development, Inc. ("Badiee"). This transaction is the third in a series of three industrial properties Rockpoint and Badiee jointly purchased and developed, and completes Rockpoint's realization of all three properties. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

The 243,000 square-foot Property is situated in a desirable economic hub, 20 minutes from downtown San Diego and less than one mile from the second most active U.S.- Mexico commercial border crossing. Strategically located to capitalize on San Diego's Foreign Trade Zone, the Property offers local businesses unique cost-savings opportunities related to cross-border trade activities. Rockpoint and Badiee acquired the 15-acre site in June 2021 and subsequently developed the best-in-class industrial property.

"We greatly value our partnership with the Badiee team and are thrilled with their execution on these developments," said Aric Shalev, Co-President and Managing Member at Rockpoint. "This transaction highlights our focus on investing in and developing trophy industrial assets in markets and regions that have favorable long-term supply/demand dynamics. With its proximate access to U.S.- Mexico trade activities and market-leading attributes, the property is well-positioned for future performance."

In addition to this Property, Rockpoint and Badiee collectively purchased and developed two other industrial investments. The first is a 247,500 square-foot single-building property located at 8151 Airway Road in Otay Mesa, which Rockpoint and Badiee sold in 2022. The second property is Tropical Logistics, a 259,000 square-foot industrial development in North Las Vegas, Nevada. Rockpoint sold its interest in this development in May 2023.

"We're thrilled to have partnered with Rockpoint to invest in and develop three industrial properties that maximize functionality, flexibility and efficiency for current and future tenants," said Ben Badiee, President and CEO at Badiee Development. "Together, we met our goals of creating high-quality industrial spaces that meet the needs of the Otay Mesa submarket of San Diego, and in North Las Vegas."

The Property is located at 2080 Sanyo Ave and 9350 Airway Rd and features best-in-class functional attributes, including 32-foot clear heights, a desirable dock door ratio, convenient access to the 125 and 905 freeways and the flexibility to accommodate multiple tenant configurations in each building.

VANCOUVER, BC, Oct. 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Grosvenor, an international property owner and developer with a 70+ year track record in North America, announces that it has established a joint venture for phase one of its master-planned development in Metro Vancouver called Brentwood Block. Grosvenor is partnering with a Canadian pension fund and BC-based family office Westerkirk Capital Inc., for the C$1.5 billion first phase of the 7.9 acre master-plan in Burnaby's rapidly evolving Brentwood neighbourhood.

The first phase of Brentwood Block will deliver 1,730 much-needed new homes (including 1,279 rental units, 204 of which will be below-market rate), a new multi-storey community centre and 200,000 square feet of commercial space. The fully-entitled development is located in one of Metro Vancouver's fastest-growing neighbourhoods, one block from the Brentwood SkyTrain station. Condominium pre-sales start September 2024; construction will begin in early 2025 and completion is anticipated in 2030.

Steve O'Connell, Chief Executive for Grosvenor's North American property business, said:

"We are thrilled to be embarking on this meaningful project with our partners.  We have been crafting this mixed-use community for many years to provide an array of housing options, neighbourhood serving retail, and the City's impressive community centre - all designed to meet our Net Zero operational carbon ambitions and our high standards for design and quality.   We are very proud to be making a contribution to meet the housing supply needs of the region in such a high-quality and sustainable manner."

The project's significant rental housing component is one of the largest in Metro Vancouver, including the tallest all-rental tower in Western Canada at over 60 storeys. Brentwood Block will also deliver 50,000 square feet of green space, a 44,000 square foot grocery store and new retail next to the Brentwood SkyTrain Station. 

Jamie Delmotte, Chief Co-Investment Officer for Grosvenor's North American property business, said:

"Developing and owning properties through select capital partnerships is a central part of our business in Canada and the US. The joint venture formation at Brentwood Block is especially remarkable as it signals the start of one of our largest contributions to the North American housing market to date, delivering needed housing in supply-constrained Metro Vancouver. With current market conditions, these kinds of capital market partnerships are necessary for successful development today, and we will likely be seeing an increasing number of joint-ventures such as this one in the years to come."

Brentwood Block will exceed the City of Burnaby's sustainability requirements through 100% electrification of in-suite appliances, space heating and cooling systems, LED lighting and smart thermostats. The project will also meet Grosvenor's 2030 Commitment to achieve Net Zero Operational Carbon through efficient envelope design, low carbon systems and renewable energy.

Brentwood Block is the latest addition to Grosvenor's extensive legacy of property development and ownership in Metro Vancouver. Since 1952, the firm has built and owned significant residential, commercial, and mixed-use properties in the region, most realized through long-term partnerships. Notable recent developments include the multi-award-winning Grosvenor Ambleside in West Vancouver, The RISE—a full-city block on the Cambie Street corridor, Connaught in North Vancouver, and The Pacific, a 39-storey residential tower in downtown Vancouver.

Last month, Grosvenor broke ground on Whitford—a 68-unit townhome development in Vancouver's Shaughnessy neighbourhood. Grosvenor is also advancing plans for its 14-acre Mayfair West site, set to deliver a 1.5 million square foot mixed-use community at 41^st and Oak Street in Vancouver. The project will feature 17 buildings, over 1,600 homes, a childcare facility and a two-acre public park.

About GrosvenorGrosvenor has operated a diversified real estate business in North America since 1952. We focus on vibrant urban locations, making a positive contribution to local neighbourhoods and communities.   

As of December 31, 2023, we had assets under management of US$3.8bn/C$5.0bn, including 71 high-quality properties, and is delivering on a US$4.9bn/C$6.5bn development pipeline in North America. Consistent with the firm's farsighted approach to ownership and development, we value long-term capital partnerships; across our nine active capital partners, the average relationship length is 18 years.

Customer journeys are typically messy and non-linear

Kinetic CX

Joe Tawfik, Founder

Kinetic CX releases new CX insights on customer journey mapping. Research identifies that many organisations are poorly understanding their customer journeys.

— Joe Tawfik - Kinetic CX

As more organisations undertake to understand their customer journeys by mapping out their journeys the traditional approach to journey mapping may not serve to deliver the types of insights that would lead to delivering a better customer experience. Traditional journey mapping is typically designed from workshops held with stakeholders. Static maps of customer journeys tend to derive from a poorly researched understanding of what and why customers behave in a certain way at a particular touchpoint and journey stage. Our research indicates that up to 78% of all insights gathered from traditional journey mapping are flawed and not reflective of an accurate representation of customer behaviour.

One of the most significant shifts in journey mapping is the integration of data-driven insights. Businesses can gain a deeper understanding of customer behaviour and preferences by leveraging data analytics. This data can be sourced from various touchpoints, including website analytics, social media interactions, and customer feedback. By analysing this data, companies can identify patterns and trends that inform the journey-mapping process.

For example, a retail brand might use data analytics to track the online and offline interactions of its customers. By understanding how customers move between channels, the brand can optimise its marketing strategies and improve the overall customer experience.

With a sudden wealth of options and opportunities available to us, we know consumers have resorted to coping mechanisms – mental shortcuts and techniques that help us cut through to what matters most to make a choice. Consumers have activated mental processes to deal with the abundance of the web. Consumers now deal with scale and complexity using cognitive biases encoded deep in our pre-digital history. Understanding how consumer decision-making has changed will enable any business to win more business from its competitors.

Traditional journey maps are often static documents that quickly become outdated. To keep pace with the ever-changing customer landscape, businesses are now creating dynamic journey maps. These maps are continuously updated with real-time data, allowing companies to respond to changes in customer behaviour promptly.

Dynamic journey maps can be created using journey mapping software that integrates with existing customer relationship management (CRM) systems. This integration ensures that journey maps are always up-to-date and reflect the latest customer interactions. By having a real-time view of the customer journey, businesses can identify opportunities for improvement and make data-driven decisions.

In the quest for CX excellence, journey mapping is a powerful tool that helps businesses understand and optimise the customer journey. However, journey mapping must be redefined to keep pace with evolving customer expectations. By embracing data-driven insights, creating dynamic maps, focusing on emotional journeys, incorporating customer feedback, and fostering cross-departmental collaboration, businesses can elevate their CX strategies and deliver exceptional experiences that drive loyalty and growth.

The full report on the importance of redefining customer journey mapping can be found at the Kinetic CX website.

TORONTO, Oct. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ - DeFi Technologies Inc. (the "Company" or "DeFi Technologies") (CBOE CA: DEFI) (GR: RB9) (OTC: DEFTF), a crypto-native technology company at the forefront of merging traditional capital markets with decentralized finance ("DeFi"), is pleased to announce that its subsidiary Valour Inc. ("Valour"), a leading issuer of exchange-traded products ("ETPs") providing simplified access to digital assets, will transfer 19 ETPs from the Nordic Growth Market ("NGM") to the Spotlight Stock Market ("Spotlight") in Stockholm, Sweden. This decision represents a significant step in Valour's growth strategy within the Nordic market and strengthens its position in the ETP segment, particularly for digital asset-related instruments.

Over the past twelve months, Valour's ETPs have generated a trading volume of approximately SEK 14.3 billion (US$1.3 Billion), and the move to Spotlight is anticipated to support continued strong growth and increased liquidity. With this transition, Valour will have a total of 23 instruments listed on Spotlight, establishing Valour as a significant player on this marketplace.

"The collaboration with Spotlight Stock Market allows us to accelerate the pace of launching new instruments in the market. While we will initially have 23 instruments listed on Spotlight, our goal is to double that number. Together with Spotlight, we aim to become Europe's leading platform for crypto ETPs," says Johanna Belitz, Head of Nordics at Valour.

"We are very proud and pleased with our collaboration with Valour, which has given our ETP segment a strong start since its launch as recently as June of this year. By transferring all of its ETPs to the Spotlight Stock Market, Valour is advancing a relationship that holds high expectations, particularly for increasing the number of high-quality instruments traded in a secure environment. Additionally, Valour's ETPs will now be traded on a platform with substantial potential for increased international trading," comments Spotlight Stock Market CEO Anders Kumlin.

Among the ETPs being transferred are popular products based on Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana as underlying assets. Valour emphasizes that holders of these instruments will not need to take any action regarding the listing change, which is expected to proceed smoothly with the first trading day on Spotlight scheduled for October 21, 2024.

This transition marks a new phase in Valour's partnership with Spotlight and is a key part of its long-term goal to expand and strengthen its presence in the international market for digital asset ETPs.

Since their rapid growth in the mid-1900s, casinos have continually sought ways to stand out. Now, many casinos are revisiting their customer service standards, a hallmark that once helped shape their identity. Historically, casinos attracted and retained patrons by offering personalized experiences and complimentary services, or "comps," such as hotel stays and cruise packages.

However, the pandemic's impact on staffing and revenue challenged this model, leading to service standards declining. Many of these establishments focus on rebuilding their patrons' trust by elevating the quality of their hospitality and reintroducing generous perks.

In 2024, the emphasis on attentive, well-trained staff and revamped rewards programs signals a renewed commitment to guest satisfaction. According to an article by OnlineUnitedStatesCasinos.com, players expect to receive stellar support, service, and perks. Casinos like Horseshoe Casino in Baltimore offer various incentives, from free play and hotel credits to exclusive VIP services. These efforts aim to ensure guests feel valued, strengthen player loyalty, and boost revenue.

Jim Kilby, a professor in hotel management at the University of Las Vegas and co-author of Casino Operations Management, underscores the business impact of stellar service: "When dealing with casino players, as opposed to a hotel customer, guest service gets them to continue buying. I see guest service in a casino as more guest sales. The nicer we treat you, the more you buy."

As the landscape evolves, players can expect many US casinos to prioritize customer care as a core part of their strategy in 2024. For more details on which casinos are leading in service innovation, visit OnlineUnitedStatesCasinos.com.

OnlineUnitedStatesCasinos.com remains a trusted source for unbiased data-driven information, offering readers reliable research and insights to make informed decisions in an ever-changing market.

LAS VEGAS, Oct. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- In a dazzling finale that lit up the Las Vegas skyline, the legendary Tropicana Las Vegas bid farewell with a breathtaking display of fireworks and a 555-drone show, culminating in a 22-second implosion at 2:30 a.m. PT. The demolition marked the end of an era and the beginning of a new chapter for Las Vegas, paving the way for the A's state-of-the-art ballpark and a world-class entertainment resort in partnership with Bally's Corporation, a cornerstone of Vegas hospitality and gaming.

"Bally's is honored to have been part of this historic moment, bidding farewell to the iconic Tropicana," said Soo Kim, chairman of Bally's Corporation. "As we celebrate its legacy, we look ahead to building a world-class entertainment resort, the future home of the Athletics, and cementing Las Vegas as the ultimate sports and entertainment capital."

"The demolition of the Tropicana represents an important milestone in the process of bringing A's baseball to the world-renowned Las Vegas Strip and the community of Southern Nevada," said John Fisher, owner of the A's. "We hope that, in time, this site will become a place of unforgettable experiences for fans of the game. We extend our gratitude to Bally's and GLPI for their partnership as we embark on this project together."

As a countdown to the implosion, Fireworks by Grucci orchestrated a spectacular drone and fireworks display. The implosion of the Tropicana's two iconic 22-story towers was an awe-inspiring sight. With 22,000 feet of detonating cord and over 2,000 pounds of explosives strategically placed in over 1,300 cut points and boreholes, Controlled Demolition, Inc. (CDI) and GGG Demolition expertly orchestrated the fall of 917,400 square feet of steel-framed and concrete structures.

Before the detonation, a ceremony honored the rich history of the Tropicana while looking forward to its future. Speakers included Bally's Chairman Soo Kim, Athletics owner John Fisher, Tropicana General Manager Arik Knowles, Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority President Steve Hill, and Clark County Commissioner Jim Gibson. The event underscored the site's evolution from a historic hotel to a groundbreaking sports and entertainment complex.

MIAMI, Oct. 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- JLL's Capital Markets group announced today that it arranged the $443 million sale of 701 Brickell, a trophy Class AA office building totalling 685,279 square feet in the heart of Miami's financial district. Brickell is currently the top performing office market in the United States in terms of occupancy and rent growth. This sale was structured as an all-cash transaction for the seller. 701 Brickell represents the second largest office transaction in Florida history, just behind the $540 million sale of the 1.2 MSF Southeast Financial Center arranged by JLL in 2016.

Nuveen Real Estate, formerly TIAA Real Estate, acquired 701 Brickell in 2002.  Throughout the entire period of Nuveen's ownership, 701 Brickell has been the top performing Class AA office building in Miami in terms of maintaining high occupancy, consistent rent growth and long-term retention of prestigious tenants, including Bank of America and Holland & Knight. 701 Brickell has stood out in the national market as a direct beneficiary of the flight-to-quality following the pandemic shifts of financial and law firms establishing offices in Miami in the highest quality office buildings and locations.

The JLL Capital Markets team representing the seller was led by Manny de Zarraga, Matt McCormack, Ike Ojala, and Hermen Rodriguez, all based in Miami.  The team was supported at a national level by Mike McDonald.

Winner - Into the Desert

Writer Xue Mo was at the 2024 award ceremony

Quarterly reading journal

Writer Xue Mo is interviewed by Gabby Talk

Xue Mo's "Into the Desert" has been honored with the "2024 NYC BIG BOOK AWARD," being selected in the Women's Fiction category.

— Xue Mo

NY, NY, UNITED STATES, October 10, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Xue Mo's "Into the Desert" has been honored with the "2024 NYC BIG BOOK AWARD," being selected in the Women's Fiction category. The book, translated by Howard Goldblatt and Sylvia Li-Chun Lin, was published by Long River Press in 2023.

In recent months, "Into the Desert" also earned a Gold Medal at the 2024 Independent Press Award and was recognized by a judging panel as one of North America's outstanding selections for summer reading in 2024. At the 2022 Frankfurt Book Fair, both author Xue Mo and his work topped international media hot lists, receiving extensive coverage from prominent outlets such as AP, PR Newswire, and People's Daily.

In 2023, Emmy-winning hosts Kate Delaney of “America Tonight,” Logan Crawford from Spotlight Network Radio, Ric Bratton of “This Week In America,” and Dr. Larry Carnes from “Book on the Month” conducted an in-depth interview with Xue Mo regarding his English works "Into the Desert" and "Curses of Kingdom of Xixia." During this period, over 500 local media outlets across various states in America reported extensively on these interviews.

In November 2023, during Thanksgiving day, a promotional trailer titled "Xue Mo Comes" was showcased continuously on a giant screen in New York Times Square for a total of 44 showings—capturing considerable attention from tourists.

During an engaging interview session, hosts expressed their deep admiration for Xue Mo’s literary spirit. In "Into the Desert," he narrates a compelling story featuring main characters Lanlan and Ying'er that underscores humanity's resilience to pursue dreams amidst adversity. The narrative encourages readers to hold steadfastly to their aspirations without surrendering—even when faced with formidable challenges—promising that they will eventually witness dawn breaking after darkness.

As Emmy Award winner Logan Crawford expressed high praise for Xue Mo's works in a recent interview, he asserted that Xue Mo is an exceptional and distinguished writer whose narratives powerfully embody feminine strength. This sentiment echoes the Chinese proverb: "Women hold up half the sky."

"Into the Desert" tells the story of two women from western China, set in the 1990s near the ruins of the ancient Silk Road and on the brink of the Gobi Desert. These women refuse to be constrained by poverty and tradition as they embark on a transformative journey.

The novel centers on their adventurous struggle for survival in a harsh wilderness. Through vivid memories and psychological insights, it captures both the rugged beauty and challenges of rural life in western China. The narrative delves into themes such as resilience, sisterhood, women's conditions, love's complexities, and self-transcendence amidst adversity.

As Xue Mo articulated during a panel discussion titled "Literature Witnesses Feminine Power": "Suffering is at the core of human existence; it is an inevitable challenge we must confront." The true value of art lies in its ability to create beauty from suffering, love amid hatred, wisdom from ignorance, light within darkness, and hope against despair. Consequently, genuine culture—literature and wisdom—focuses on liberating humanity from suffering while avoiding hatred and overcoming darkness. Literature and art serve as humanity’s guiding light; their worth resides in this illumination.

An Anthem of Service and Sacrifice to Debut Across Streaming Platforms on Veterans Day, November 11, 2024

— Ty Warner

“We voluntarily served our nation because we wanted to, and we expected nothing in return,” Warner reflects. “I believe ‘I Am a Veteran’ offers solace to families who honor the military members who served our country.” While Veterans Day holds special meaning, Warner emphasizes that “veterans deserve recognition every day of the year.”

A Collaboration Born from a Poetic Tribute
The inspiration for “I Am a Veteran” came from a moving poem by Kerry Glaser, Warner’s friend and fellow veteran. “When I read the poem, I immediately knew it could become a powerful song,” Warner shares. The resulting collaboration blends Glaser’s evocative verses with Warner’s crafted chorus, producing a song that resonates with authenticity and gratitude.

A Masterful Musical Production with Industry Talent Recorded at Wyoming Wave Studios in Cheyenne, WY, Vonte Anderson led the engineering efforts, with the track featuring a talented ensemble of musicians:

• Asha Henshaw – Piano and backing vocals • Joshua Reese – Fiddle and electric guitar

Warner reflects on the synergy in the studio: “Josh’s guitar and fiddle playing were par excellence—he knew exactly how to add the right touch to bring the song alive.” Henshaw, a student at the Berklee College of Music, also made a significant impact with her production work. “Asha’s layering and background vocals gave the track depth and movement,” Warner remarks.

Jim Thacker of Kazen Music Group, a respected industry producer with deep ties to military culture mastered the song. “Jim’s understanding of military life made working with him an honor. His drum and bass arrangements perfectly shaped the track,” Warner added.

A Live Debut at the Salute to Service Veterans Day Concert Warner will debut “I Am a Veteran” live on November 11th at the Salute to Service Veterans Day Concert at the Skydeck on Broadway in Nashville, TN. The event will feature performances by the Air Force Academy’s Wild Blue Country and other distinguished artists, creating a meaningful celebration of service and sacrifice.
