Action PR Group

Sunset Hospitality Group (“SHG”), the diversified hospitality group, renowned for developing and operating highly popular lifestyle brands, has secured USD $35 million funding from Goldman Sachs Asset Management (“Goldman Sachs”). SHG was founded in Dubai ten years ago and is currently present across nine countries worldwide. The group owns and operates a large portfolio of hospitality lifestyle brands, including METT Hotels & Resorts, AURA, Azure Beach, SUSHISAMBA, Isola, Black Tap, L’amo, Ammos and Drift Beach, among others. The funding will support ambitious international expansion plans, including the opening in summer 2023 of flagship property METT Hotel & Beach Resort, in Marbella. SHG is actively exploring additional 0pportunities within the Mediterranean region, UK, USA and Asia. “We are very proud to receive the support of Goldman Sachs. This is a powerful testament to our performance and potential, and the result of the hard work of our incredibly talented team” said Antonio Gonzalez, CEO of Sunset Hospitality Group. “The investment is a sign of confidence in Dubai and the United Arab Emirates as a hub of entrepreneurship and a growing centre for hospitality. We are very excited for this new chapter, and we look forward to proving our potential and accelerating our growth.” Patrick Ordynans, Managing Director at Goldman Sachs Asset Management, added: “Sunset has developed a number of strong brands over the last decade, underpinned by strong management team and solid financial profile. We look forward to supporting the company’s ambitious growth plans and being part of the journey ahead.” As part of SHG’s growing portfolio, earlier this year the team opened DREAM at the Address Jumeirah Resort and Spa (JBR), a dining and entertainment concept on Dubai’s most popular coastline. It was followed by the opening of L’Amo Bistro del Mare, an upscale Italian seafood restaurant at Dubai Harbour. In June, a partnership with MJS Holding in Saudi Arabia led to the opening of the first Black Tap in Riyadh’s King Abdullah Financial District (KAFD). Upcoming openings this year include Mott 32, a renowned Chinese restaurant founded in Hong Kong; a new high-energy lounge concept, ATTIKO, in the rooftop of W Mina Seyahi, and Signor Sassi, the iconic Italian restaurant from London which will open in St Regis The Palm. Beyond Dubai, SHG aims to open 15 additional international venues, cementing its presence across 14 countries by the end of the 2023. “We remain committed to growth within the UAE and wider GCC region,” said Gonzalez. “However, we also want to take our team’s talent and ambition further afield and apply all the know-how we have developed over the past decade, and export the Dubai standards of hospitality to a wider stage. We are actively looking at acquisition opportunities to continue our exponential growth around the world and the support of Goldman Sachs is fundamental to this new phase of our company.” -ENDS- Sunset Hospitality Group (SHG) was founded in 2011 with a vision to create unique hospitality experiences around the world, ranging from resorts and beach clubs to restaurants and nightlife venues. Since then, the group has grown to become a leading hospitality investment and management company developing new and pioneering concepts and acclaimed multinational brands. SHG has a presence in nine countries across 26 brands with a proven record in delivering a blend of high-quality services at exceptional locations. SHG’s portfolio includes renowned concepts including METT Hotels & Resorts, Azure Beach, Ammos, Drift Beach Club, AURA, SUSHISAMBA, DREAM, L’Amo Bistro del Mare, Black Tap, Luigia, Lola Taberna Española, Goldfish, Isola, Raise Fitness & Wellness, and many more.

Environmental Artist Gives a Voice to World’s Most Endangered Animals with Exhibition Beginning Tomorrow (Nov 2nd - 13th) at London's Oxo Tower Gallery

PR Superstar

WITH COP 27 getting underway soon, one of the world’s top wildlife and environmental artists is staging a free all-powerful, thought-provoking exhibition from tomorrow (Nov 2 nd -13 th ) at London’s OXO Tower Gallery highlighting the peril of the most endangered animals on the planet - with sales of her artwork funding vital conservation work. Multi-award-winning fine artist and passionate conservationist Sophie Green was a selective mute until the age of seven and spent her time outside immersed in nature and wildlife. Having battled mutism as a child, the 30-year-old now aims to give animals a voice through her striking artwork. Her photorealistic paintings of some of the world’s most under-threat creatures, such as polar bears, rhinos, tigers and whales, attract an A-List following, with 150,000 fans on social media, and she is on her way to becoming a blue-chip artist like British fine art photographer and conservationist David Yarrow. Sophie’s artwork provides a window into another eco-system - connecting the viewer with wildlife from all over the world, whilst also drawing attention to the plight of species at the hands of mankind and climate change. “I paint animals to save animals,” said the Surrey-born former primary school teacher, who lives and works in East Sussex and has previously exhibited at COP 26. “It is my hope to make a difference in the world of conservation and use my art to make a positive impact on the world.” Sophie’s work often draws the viewer’s attention to the vulnerability, power or emotion of the animal - and the star attraction of her free forthcoming art exhibition ‘Impermanence’ is the commanding ‘Majesty’ featuring an East African lion and named in honour of the late Queen Elizabeth II, who was instrumental in encouraging conservation efforts across the world. Since turning professional, Sophie has donated more than 10% of her income to wildlife and conservation charities worldwide, as well as setting up her own project fund that will support vital conservation work, from safeguarding the snow leopards of the Himalayas, to conducting research on threatened marine species like sharks and turtles. ‘Impermanence’ is Sophie’s collection of 14 inspiring, evocative and thought-provoking pieces, painted in a hyper-realistic style. The talented artist travels the world taking photos of endangered creatures in their natural environment that she can then paint - she went to the Arctic last year and next year, she’ll be visiting Tanzania. “All of my pieces are based on a species or a current conservation issue that has drawn my attention,” she said. “If there isn’t an underlying reason for creating the piece of art, my passion for the piece dwindles. For example, my recent expedition to the Arctic brought forward so many issues in terms of the wildlife, climate change, ice melting etc, that for a while, a lot of my pieces were polar-themed.” Sophie aims to forge a path for other wildlife artists and female artists in general “to be seen and be respected in the contemporary art world” - and to use their art in a positive way and be a spokesperson for issues they are passionate about. She is also the founder of online gallery, Art Basket, that supports and sells the artwork of independent artists like herself. “I was in my mid-twenties and although I loved working with kids, teaching is such a full-on profession and I didn’t have any time to do what I truly loved,” Sophiesaid. “My passions lay in creating art and making a difference in the natural world. When you don’t have any time for a creative outlet, or to do something you love, it forces you to make some tough life decisions. Letting go of a stable, reliable income to go and chase a ‘pipe dream’ at the time seemed terrifying, but it was the best decision I have ever made. “Animals and the natural world have always been close to my heart. As a young child, I was a selective mute, which meant that I couldn’t speak outside of the family home until the age of seven. I was very introverted and spent almost all of my time outside with nature and wildlife, or reading books about animals. It was never a choice to become a wildlife artist and conservationist, it came completely naturally. Animals don’t have a voice and are not responsible for any of the struggles that they face due to human encroachment, climate change, poaching, etc. It is a no-brainer for me, that as many people as possible should be trying to make a difference for the voiceless.” In 2021, Sophie was awarded the ‘medal of excellence’ from the Artists for Conservation Foundation (AFC) representing 500 of the world's leading nature and wildlife artists, for her outstanding work in the wildlife and conservation sphere. She was also selected to be one of 20 artists to exhibit at COP26. And she recently donated one of the pieces from her ‘Impermanence’ collection to Tusk and the African Community & Conservation Foundation (ACCF), where it sold at auction for a whopping $24,000. According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), there are currently more than 40,000 species that are believed to be under threat. Sophie said: “‘Impermanence’ is both a collection of art and the foundations of a lifelong purpose. The collection will be funding vital conservation projects worldwide, as well as raising awareness for important conservation issues and inspiring others to make a difference. The name ‘Impermanence’ is open to interpretation, highlighting the philosophy of the impermanence of life, as well as the impermanence of many species and eco-systems on this planet. But there is also hope - in the impermanence of the world’s problems.” Admission to wildlife artist Sophie Green’s ‘Impermanence’ exhibition is free and runs 11am - 6pm from November 2 nd - 13 th at the OXO Tower Gallery located in London’s South Bank on Barge House Street, SE1 9PH.

MEXC lists CHANGE token for trading in the Innovation Zone

ChangeX

Global centralized exchange MEXC has listed the multi-chain CHANGE token for trading in its Innovation Zone. MEXC made the CHANGE/USDT trading pair available to its 10+ million user base at 12:00 UTC on Monday, October 31. On MEXC, CHANGE trades on the HydraChain blockchain. The MEXC listing comes in light of significant new features making their way to Changex - the CeDeFi project behind the token. The app now offers fiat-crypto purchases thanks to the integration of Ramp Network’s on-ramp technology, which enables an easy-to-use interface for bank transfer and debit/credit card crypto transactions. Changex has also enabled ERC20 token swaps, allowing users to acquire any token on the Ethereum network in the app via swapping. “ MEXC listing CHANGE is a great first step for the project in terms of CEX partnerships and serves as proof of Changex’s potential and integrity ”, said CEO Nick Iliev, commenting on the listing. “MEXC is one of the most well-known exchanges in the world and, being there, CHANGE will be exposed to a much wider user base, not to mention that users will have access to tools like margin and spot trading, as well as various payment options to acquire CHANGE. It’s going to make a huge difference in terms of accessibility and exposure. ” Mr. Iliev added. Before the MEXC listing, the options to buy CHANGE included in-app swaps via several trading pairs in the app, and trading on the UniSwap and HydraDEX decentralized exchanges. As Changex strives to offer an uncomplicated crypto and DeFi experience even to non-native crypto users, the MEXC listing presents another option to acquire CHANGE on easier terms. Changex’s recent integration of Ramp Network’s fiat-to-crypto interface also serves this purpose, simplifying how tokens can be acquired. With the added functionality of ERC20 token swaps in the app, users can now swap to any ERC20 token much more easily and without knowledge of DEX’s, by using a simple swap function instead. “ It’s what we strive to achieve in the long run. We want to provide all users with a simple interface into Web3’s vibrant ecosystem, and ease of access to assets is paramount, because not everyone knows what slippage, DEX or liquidity mining is. Yet we want to offer our DeFi services to any interested party. For this to happen, it has to be simplified to the core, i.e. an intricate and sophisticated backend with a very accessible interface where users can benefit from the best of DeFi, banking, and crypto. ” concludes Mr. Iliev. Next in line for the CeDeFi project is the launch of banking services in the app, which will offer users SEPA IBANs for easy fiat/crypto functionality and access to traditional banking in the non-custodial DeFi wallet. The first months of 2023 will also see the start of the issuance of the Changex crypto debit cards, which will enable mobile fiat and crypto spending in all places that accept card payments. About ChangeX ChangeX is a hybrid personal finance mobile app which fuses crypto, DeFi, and banking into a single package. Users can access multi-chain crypto and an array of DeFi investing tools, including first-ever Leveraged Staking, while benefiting from traditional fiat banking, thanks to personal IBANs and SEPA functionality. The ChangeX Crypto Debit Card completes the offering, allowing users to spend crypto and fiat anywhere, and thus experience true financial freedom. Follow the project on Twitter and Telegram for more information and regular updates. The Team ChangeX founders Nick Iliev and Gary Guerassimov have a rich history in developing successful crypto and fintech products, among them xChange.bg - Bulgaria’s leading crypto exchange. HydraChain and LockTrip co-founders Nikola Alexandrov and Hristo Tenchev are also on board, each bringing seven years of blockchain experience to the project. The project’s CTO Martin Kuvandzhiev is one of the core developers at Bitcoin Gold - a hard fork of the source Bitcoin code, which brought decentralization back to retail traders and made mining via common GPUs possible again. The Advisers ChangeX’s advisory board features industry experts from some of the biggest names in crypto, DeFi, and finance. SoftBank Vision Fund’s Neil Cunha-Gomes, whose crypto investments include Consensys and Elliptic, has been working alongside seasoned experts Dimiter Gurdjilov and Stefan Ivanov in outlining the company’s strategy and vision. Dimiter Gurdjilov has more than 15 years of investment banking, private equity and business development experience from Merrilll Lynch, JPMorgan, George Soros’ Bedminster Capital, NBGI Private Equity, and Challenger Capital Management. Stefan Ivanov has 25+ years of experience at Citibank, Banque Paribas, and Challenger Capital Management, and has also served as the CEO of Citibank in Bulgaria.

Digital Nomad Insurance

Digital Nomad World

Life as a digital nomad comes with a whole load of perks – travelling the world, meeting new people, and discovering new cities, all while earning money to fund your epic adventures. It’s no wonder that many people these days opt to ditch the desk and hit the road with a laptop and a dream to travel. But you’ve still got to make sure you take care of yourself while you’re out there living your best life, which can mean everything from your health to your finances. This sort of thing is easily covered by insurance, but when you’re a digital nomad, it gets a little trickier. After all, this isn’t your run-of-the-mill life choice. You’ll need something to cover you as you move from country to country, renewing it while you’re away, or securing insurance for the first time while you’re outside of your home country. Luckily, there are some great options for digital nomads’ insurance tailored specifically to your globetrotting lifestyle - and often very affordable. Best Digital Nomad Insurance for Health & Travel Safety Wing Passportcard Nomads Insured Nomads Over the past 2 years, Digital Nomad World has done the hard work and sourced the top insurance offerings for digital nomads right now. Digital nomads’ insurance has been difficult to navigate in the past. Often, conventional insurance companies won’t offer coverage when you’ve already left for a trip, meaning if you decide to extend your travels and your insurance coverage has run out, you’ll be left without a safety net. Luckily, seeing the gap in the market, a few great digital nomads’ insurance companies have popped up, founded by fellow travellers who know what it’s like to be left in the dark by confusing insurance offerings. These three companies know what they’re doing when it comes to covering world travellers, each of them offering something slightly different. Recommended Health & Travel Insurance for Digital Nomads 1. Safety Wing ( www.safetywing.com ) Possibly the most famous company for digital nomads’ insurance right now, Safety Wing is run by a team located across the globe (they’re digital nomads, too). This is made-to-measure insurance for world-travelling individuals underwritten by Lloyd’s, so you can rest assured knowing it’s legitimate. Their basic package covers medical and travel insurance. Respectively, that means you’ll be covered for a variety of accidents and illnesses while abroad, while the travel side of things covers unforeseen interruptions for your trip such as delays and lost luggage. Prices start from around $42 for four weeks. An added bonus is Safety Wing’s easy-to-use website. Plus, the website is pretty easy to use as well. 2. PassportCard ( www.passportcardnomads.com ) Part of the DavidShield Group, PassportCard is digital nomads’ insurance with a difference. Rather than paying out for things and then being reimbursed by your insurance company, PassportCard is instead - as the name suggests - a card. You don’t have to wait for reimbursement for medical or travel expenses: PassportCard, to all intents and purposes, foots the bill. This is especially handy if you don’t have enough cash, or credit, in the first place to pay for any unforeseen costs that are covered by insurance. It’s all well and good setting up digital nomads’ insurance, but when big costs arise, finding money to pay them before the insurance company pays out can be difficult. PassportCard is essentially a red-coloured Visa card that you can simply swipe, insert, or tap and the bill will be paid. The insurance costs start at $59 per month, and from there, come in a range of different flexible packages, with a whole lot of customisation and add-ons depending on what activities you’ll be doing on your trip. It’s a whole new world for digital nomads’ insurance. 3. Insured Nomads ( www.insurednomdas.com ) Insured Nomads was founded by nomads, for nomads. Specifically designed with digital nomads in mind, this insurance option is designed to make living and working on the road an absolute breeze. This up-and-coming insurance company is run by a team who are travellers and nomads themselves and know what sort of problems and hiccups can happen while you’re out there hopping from continent to continent. Their packages come in a whole host of different sizes, lengths and costs. Generally, they cover emergency medical care, emergency dental treatment and local ambulance costs, all the way to things like flight delays and lost luggage. Insured Nomads also cover car rental insurance and are even planning to add pet insurance for your world-exploring pets, too. Typical coverage with Insured Nomads costs around $96 per month. It’s not just for individuals either. Insured Nomads is for all sorts of digital nomads, meaning they have tailored packages for couples and even for families with children. The Digital Nomad World is a platform created by digital nomads for digital nomads. We strive to offer fellow DN's a platform that addresses every aspect of a DN's lifestyle.

See What’s Next For The Regenerative Medicine Field -- BioRestorative Intends to Lead The Pack In Stem Cell Therapies!

BioRestorative Therapies, Inc.

While stem cell therapy has always been a more controversial topic, as the general public has gained more knowledge on the practice and induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells have gained traction in place of human embryonic stem (hES) cells, the conversation has shifted more from the ethical concerns to the logistical concerns. Governments, medical facilities, and patients are concerned over the economical viability and clinical efficacy of regenerative medicine and stem cell research. Today, six of the seven leading causes of death in America are non-communicable diseases and regenerative medicine is a promising branch of science to lead the fight. A recent study conducted in 2021, highlighted the cost-effectiveness of regenerative medicine. Looking at a handful of stem cell therapies, the study showed that regenerative medicine is likely to be more impactful in cost-effectiveness compared to other conventional health technologies. The study also noted that for stem cell treatment of scoliosis, the level of cost-effectiveness was acceptable to policymakers and healthcare purchasers. It is also important to note that the best treatment for patients are ones that minimize pain while avoiding dangerous procedures like surgeries. As such, autologous cell therapy falls in this category because the treatment comes from the patient’s body, and the risks are significantly minimized. With the treatment risks minimized, the question of clinical efficacy still remains. How successful are stem cell therapies when compared to traditional treatments? Studies are showing promising results for stem cell therapies when it comes to obesity-related diseases and chronic back pain, among other non-communicable diseases. Current non-operative and surgical treatments for discongenic low back pain are leaving patients dissatisfied, whereas, stem cell regenerative therapy has shown strong results in restoring disc’s cellularity and decreasing inflammatory response in patients. With chronic low back pain impacting approximately 632 million people worldwide and as high as 68% of adults over the age of 60, finding a cure that minimizes risk and maximizes results would revolutionize treatment. Stem cells have also shown significant therapeutic potential in patients with diabetes, one of the most prevalent and deadly diseases globally. From stem cell therapies being able to regenerate into insulin-producing cells to therapies that can stimulate metabolism, the field is ripe with opportunities for patients. BioRestorative Is Making Advancements In Chronic Pain and Diabetes BioRestorative Therapies Inc. (NASDAQ: BRTX) (“BioRestorative”) is working on products that may be solutions in multibillion-dollar fields. Trials suggest that BRTX-100 may significantly reduce back pain and increase function in patients. There are over 60 million suffering from chronic back pain in the U.S. While the current product specifically treats disc degeneration, BioRestorative believes it shows signs of a broad range of applications within the entire musculoskeletal system (Hips, knees, shoulders and extremities). BioRestorative Therapies prides itself on doing things correctly. Its BRTX100 product for back pain goes far beyond the all-too-common clinical practice of harvesting cells and reintroducing them to the patient without proper modification. Instead, BioRestorative Therapies expands and cultures the cells using a proprietary hypoxic treatment, where a low-oxygen environment transitions the cells to express a more potent therapeutic benefit. They also combine these cells with the patient’s own platelet lysate which acts as a fertilizer to the cells and helps deliver a more survivable cell into the harsh environment of the disc. These cells not only have a greater survival rate but show increase in anti-inflammatory properties, increased circulation and enhancement of remodeling the extracellular matrix of the disc. It also only uses autologous cells for this treatment. Autologous cells come from the patient's own body and have little to no risk that the body will reject them, increasing probability of optimal results within the biological micro environment matching process BRTX’s Brown Fat Program, Thermostem, has highly promising results in the treatment of obesity and related metabolic diseases. Obesity affects over 40% of Americans, and BioRestorative is developing a novel stem-cell population — brown adipose tissue — that shows signs of stimulating metabolism and reducing excess fat. Close cooperation with the FDA is also important to BioRestorative, as the external oversight serves as a guarantor of product quality and efficacy. FDA approval also helps drive down the cost of these therapies for patients, as insurance companies are more willing to partially or fully cover the cost of FDA-approved medicines. To learn more about BioRestorative, visit its website. BioRestorative Therapies was founded by scientists and researchers committed to developing stem cell therapies to address unmet needs in patients with highly prevalent conditions.Our advances in stem cell biology and delivery protocols harbor great promise in conditioning our bodies’ own regenerative potential to treat major diseases more effectively than current interventions.Today, BioRestorative is actively developing programs that aim to dramatically increase quality of care for both (i) chronic back pain caused by disc degeneration, as well as (ii) metabolic disorders including obesity and diabetes.

BLUEPEAK OFFERS FREE AND LOW-COST INTERNET OPTIONS IN OKLAHOMA THROUGH AFFORDABLE CONNECTIVITY PROGRAM

Bluepeak

Today, Bluepeak announced its participation in the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) in Oklahoma. Why it matters: Economic uncertainty is causing more challenges for households across the country. The ACP benefit – a Federal Communications Commission (FCC) program – helps to lower the cost of broadband service for eligible households in need of affordable internet service. The $14 billion program provides a discount of $30 to $75 per month toward broadband service for eligible households. The big picture: Research shows that having access to high-speed internet is a challenge for many in the Sooner State. According to broadbandnow.com, Oklahoma ranks 46th in the nation based on internet coverage, speed and availability. Furthermore, a Kansas City Federal Reserve study estimated that 30 percent of Oklahomans have access to fewer than two wired internet providers. Yes, but: Bluepeak launched service in Oklahoma this year as part of an approximate $250 million investment to bring fiber-to-the-home broadband service to communities like Enid, Stillwater, Perry, Bartlesville, Tonkawa, Clinton, Elk City, Blackwell, Shawnee, Lawton and more. Bluepeak improves the options for residents in Oklahoma by providing fast, reliable, affordable internet to communities with limited, outdated options. Bluepeak’s ACP offering makes their solution even more affordable for those eligible. “The Affordable Connectivity Program is a natural fit with our expansion plans in Oklahoma,” said Rich Fish, CEO of Bluepeak. “We’re expanding our fiber-to-the-home internet service in Oklahoma because the communities here have waited too long for more, better options. Our customers have told us, Bluepeak has dramatically improved access wherever we’ve offered our service.” By the numbers: The ACP benefit can be applied to any of Bluepeak’s residential internet service tiers. A household that qualifies for the $75 discount would have access to the following options: 1 gigabit-per-second (Gbps) for free with the ACP benefit. 2 Gbps for free with ACP. 5 Gbps for $25 per month with ACP. A household is eligible if one member of the household meets at least one of the criteria below: For the $75/month discount – Service address is located on qualifying Tribal lands, AND household income is at or below 200% of the federal poverty guidelines; For the $30/month discount – Has an income that is at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines; Participates in certain assistance programs, such as SNAP, Medicaid, Federal Public Housing Assistance, SSI, WIC, or Lifeline; Is approved to receive benefits under the free and reduced-price school lunch program or the school breakfast program, including through the USDA Community Eligibility Provision; Received a Federal Pell Grant during the current award year. Eligible households can enroll in ACP through a participating broadband provider or by: 1. Going to AffordableConnectivity.gov to submit an online application or print a mail-in application. 2. Contacting a participating broadband provider – like Bluepeak – and selecting a plan. Additional information about the ACP is available at www.fcc.gov/ACP, or by calling 877-384-2575 between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m. EST any day of the week. Go deeper: Oklahomans looking for more information can visit mybluepeak.com/acp. Residents and businesses interested in service availability or details on the construction process can sign up for updates by entering their service address at mybluepeak.com. About Bluepeak Bluepeak is building a faster, more reliable internet without the things that get in the way of great service - like red tape, hidden fees, and slow response times. Offering up to 5 gigabits of speed for residential customers and 10 gigabits for businesses, Bluepeak is a whole new ballgame - from internet to TV, to connecting every device in a home, to powering a business, Bluepeak not only provides the best fiber connections in the communities it serves, but also meets the growing needs for how its customers live.

Genuine Papers

It takes more than sheer grit to achieve success. After all, success is a function of a well-planned endeavour. You do not rush into it. You do not scurry into it. You do not stumble upon it. It does not happen to you by chance. Instead, it is a result of a well-thought-out plan and execution. And in this execution, there is a clear understanding of personal abilities, strengths, and weaknesses directing the approach of such a success plan. The ants know this.

Once you stipulate your deadline, they get your task to you at said time. And they do this for a wide range of essays that you can think of. These include term papers, dissertations, research papers, personal statements, admission essays, theses, etc. All these are essays written for high schoolers as well as for persons who are presently in tertiary institutions. And guess what? Persons in postgraduate studies are also not exempted from their league of clientele. You should know that EssayPro is a sucker for excellence. And that shows in the rigorous process they take their writers through they are finally admitted. These procedures are not to misuse them. Rather, they are duty-of-care processes that separate the wheat from the tares. Thus, only the best of the best writers, who are culture-fit for consistent delivery of quality work despite the huge workload, are retained. There is always the ID and Diploma verification stage for the writers they recruit. Then, they are asked to send in samples of their previous works. Further, test jobs are assigned to them before they are admitted into a full-time hire, howbeit probationary phase. In contrast, placing an order on the EssayPro site is an entirely different ballgame. It is simple and seamless as opposed to the recruitment scheme for most of their writers. You first fill out the order form. This usually includes details about the length of the essay, the topic, and the academic level of such an essay. At this stage, you can surely provide them with samples you have worked on before if you have. This is so the writer can tailor the essay to your writing style. Once you have finalized the order information, you can choose which writer to work on your task. You can check out their profile here as well as the field of specialization. You're also open to chatting with them to know the right fix for you. Having done all this and you have made a choice, you can then make a deposit and place the order. Their market pricing is also quite fair, and you can get an excellent essay for just $10.8.

PaperHelp PaperHelp is truly that “write my essay” site that you can pay to get your writing needs to be sorted for you. Why? There are a couple of reasons that have informed this claim. And a major of them is the quality of their essays. It's sterling. Most of their previous and current customers have testified of their special deliveries. The specifications are fully adhered to, as well as the time of submission. The students who order from them have grades ranging between B- and A. This tells you that they are good at what they do. Another feature of their services that stands them out is the referral program they run. This involves students and others sharing their services with people outside the platform. And once those referred people sign up and order, the one who refers gets a discount on the essay orders they place. This feature has been integral to the fast growth of PaperHelp in the essay-writing market. Further, you can order any writing needed on PaperHelp. What this means is that not only can you write with them, but you can also edit and proofread your already-written essays. You could also run calculation jobs by them.

This is a low price for many students, which is affordable for them to pay. And considering that there is an underlying guarantee of a possible high grade, such a price is too small to pay for such a top-grade essay.

Potential UFC Top Fights 2023

Intelligiants

2023 looks like an exciting year for UFC fans, with top fights to be expected in all weight classes. Will Conor McGregor become the first champion of 3 weight classes? Jon Jones returns: Will he become the biggest MMA fighter of all time? First ever quadrilogy fight in UFC history early next year? New challenges for Amanda Nunes and Francis Ngannou? There have been countless reports and studies that show that MMA has been the fastest growing sport in the last couple of years and is projected to keep growing in a healthy trend in years to come. A significant factor is, of course, Dana White’s work with Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) and how the company has scaled up to become the biggest fighting organisation in the world. Another contributing factor to MMAs rising popularity is the cross-over boxing bouts outside of the organisations, between UFC top names, such as Conor McGregor and retired boxing legend Floyd Mayweather, YouTube-celebrity, and amateur boxer Jake Paul against UFC-fighter Tyron Woodley, as examples. The big money and paychecks surrounding these cross-over fights, make them attractive to fighters from not just the MMA or boxing world. However, most active, and top-tier MMA fighters seek to become champions and break records in an organisation such as UFC, Bellator or Pride - The number of title defences, or becoming champion in more than one division, is a sure road to legendary status in the MMA world. In a new infographic from the bwin online sportsbook team, a complete list of double MMA champions (multiple organisations listed), current champions in the UFC, upcoming title bouts and the potential biggest fights in UFC during 2023 is revealed. The blog post shares a Tale of The Tape match-up of potential fights between Francis Ngannou vs. Jon Jones, and Amanda Nunes vs Kayla Harrison, to give insights into fighting records and physical advantages. The post lists potential match-ups for all divisions, and here are three examples of top fights that could take place in the new year: Women’s Featherweight Division - Amanda Nunes vs Kayla Harrison Amanda Nunes has defended the featherweight title since 29 December 2018, and there have been talks about UFC wanting to end the weight class as they struggle to find opponents for Nunes. In fighting organisation PFL, former Judo Olympic and world champion Kayla Harrison is facing the same problem. As Harrison has never lost in her MMA career (15-0), a switch to UFC and a new challenge would be the ideal move for her career. This fight would be one of the biggest fights in MMA during 2023, between 2 undisputed champions. Women’s Strawweight Division - Carla Esparza vs Rose Namajunas Rose Namajunas was predicted to hold the belt for years to come, but Carla Esparza won the title from Namajunas at UFC 274 (7 May 2022), in a fight that has been dubbed the worst title fight of all time. As this was Carla’s second victory over Rose, Esparza vs Namajunas 3 is not unlikely to take place in 2023, even if Esparza loses the belt in her upcoming fight against Zhang Weili. As neither one of the fighters wants to repeat their last bout, it will turn into a war with a lot at stake: potentially the belt and Rose finally getting a victory over her nemesis. Men’s Heavyweight Division - Francis Ngannou vs Jon Jones Current heavyweight title holder Francis Ngannou's contract with the UFC is coming to an end, and at the same time, former light heavyweight champion, and pound for pound listed Jon Jones’s comeback in the octagon, will most likely be taking place during 2023. Jones has undergone a two-year body transformation to reach the heavyweight class, and if the fighter succeeds in taking the belt in a second weight class, he will be regarded as perhaps the best MMA fighter of all time. Although Ngannou's future in UFC is uncertain, a fight against Jones would be a dream match-up for UFC fans. When will the first-ever quadrilogy fight take place, and who are the top contenders for the belt in each division? See the full infographic and predictions here.

Comcast California Hosts Inaugural Digital Equity Summit in San Francisco

Comcast California

Today, Comcast hosted a Digital Equity Summit in San Francisco. The gathering brought together more than 100 executives, program directors, community leaders, public officials, and other key stakeholders from around the Golden State working to close the digital divide and create digital equity. The goals of the summit were to highlight best practices; learn more about the current and future needs of vulnerable communities; and identify challenges, solutions, and available funding resources. The summit also served as a moment to celebrate the work of Comcast’s valued digital equity partners across California, who worked throughout the pandemic to help drive Internet adoption and provide digital literacy training for those in need. In addition, the company announced it has exceeded its expanded goal to launch 1,250 Lift Zones before the end of this year. Comcast’s award-winning Lift Zones program provides free WiFi access in neighborhood community centers nationwide. Since September 2020, Lift Zones have enabled nearly 6 million free WiFi user sessions for students, veterans, seniors, and adults. According to a consumer survey of users who visited a Lift Zone: 4 in 10 report they would not have had Internet access without the Lift Zone. 50% of low-income households in major Comcast markets are within walking distance of a Lift Zone. 58% of Lift Zone users strongly believe that the site helps them achieve more. 58% report the Lift Zone reduces stress with studying, working remotely, and/or managing tasks online. 56% say the Lift Zone is critical for success at school, work, and/or managing tasks online. 92 percent of sites report that being a Lift Zone helps them increase digital equity in their communities. The Lift Zones program is part of Comcast’s Project UP – a comprehensive initiative to advance digital equity and build a future of unlimited possibilities. Backed by a $1 billion commitment, Project UP will help reach tens of millions of people with the skills, resources, and opportunities needed to succeed in a digital world. “We have a once-in-a-generation opportunity right now to help connect the unconnected,” said Broderick Johnson, EVP of Digital Equity and EVP of Public Policy, Comcast Corporation. “Working together between Comcast, our nonprofit partners, and the state and federal government, we will connect more households to the Internet and help even more people take advantage of critical resources such as the federal Affordable Connectivity Program and digital skills training.” “Comcast’s continued partnership and dedication to our communities have resulted in allowing more students, children, seniors, and families to get connected to the Internet, “said San Francisco Mayor London Breed. “Public-private partnerships like these allow us to ensure that all of our communities have access to services they need to thrive.” Comcast’s Lift Zones were initially created in partnership with city leaders and nonprofit partners to help keep students connected to schools during the early stages of the pandemic. These digital navigators helped countless communities at a time when they needed it the most. Even as students return to their classrooms, Comcast continues to see strong demand for Lift Zones that serve underrepresented populations and offer an array of digital literacy programs, access to online healthcare services, workforce development training, and digital navigator support. “Thanks to Comcast, we’ve been able to connect many of our families to the Internet with high-speed WiFi to support a dynamic learning environment for their children,” said Gloria Corral, President, and CEO of Parent Institute for Quality Education. “Today’s Digital Equity Summit confirms Comcast’s commitment to the communities we serve. I am eager to see how today’s conversation will improve and help support the lives of the children and families.” In addition to the Lift Zone program, which earlier this year won SXSW’s “ People’s Choice Award,” Comcast is proud to participate in the Federal Government’s Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP). ACP provides eligible households with a $30/month subsidy that can be applied toward their Internet service. When used to pay for Comcast’s Internet Essentials service, home broadband Internet is effectively free. Powered by a Comcast Business solution, the company has installed more than 150 Lift Zones across the state of California. To find a Lift Zone near you, please visit: https://internetessentials.com/learningsearchpage and for additional information on Project UP, please visit corporate.comcast.com/impact/project-up.
