HTX Earn Introduces 3-Day Term for Shark Fin Products, Complementing existing 7-Day offerings: How to Choose?

HTX

The recent volatility in the cryptocurrency market has attracted increasing attention from both new and experienced crypto investors. Their primary concern revolves around the pursuit of stable returns, especially for newcomers. Shark Fin products, such as the 3-day and existing 7-day options from HTX Earn, present an attractive opportunity for achieving steady earnings. How do you select the Shark Fin product that suits you best and offers stable returns? Let's delve into HTX's Shark Fin products and explore the path to profitability. In September of this year, HTX Earn launched a Shark Fin product with a 7-day term, and soon the exchange will introduce a 3-day term option for their Shark Fin products. Advantages of Shark Fin Products Shark Fin, a structured product, offers investors basic returns regardless of market trends, be they bearish or bullish. Additionally, If you make accurate predictions about future market trends while investing, you can benefit from extra gains. Features of HTX Shark Fin Products: Assets subscribed to are fully safeguarded under any market conditions. When the product you have subscribed to reaches maturity, you will enjoy extra returns if the crypto price falls within your expected range. Otherwise, you will still earn a basic APY if the price moves outside your range. By choosing Shark Fin products, you will 1. Enjoy short term subscriptions with good liquidity. 2. Earn industry-leading APYs and basic returns, with your principals well protected. The basic return is higher than those provided by fixed-income products. Even if market predictions go awry, not much valuable time will be lost. 3. Benefit from "bearish" products, which serve as hedging tools. The platform's risk management system works to eliminate risks and keep your assets safe. 4. Make easy subscriptions with just a few clicks. Shark Fin products are ideal for risk-averse, conservative investors seeking stable returns. This includes professional investors, high-net-worth individuals, and those focused on diversification. These products enable you to secure basic gains while potentially earning additional profits, as expected. HTX 7-day Shark Fin: Impressive Performance HTX's 7-day Shark Fin has set itself apart from other similar products in the market with its remarkable performance since its launch in September this year. As of November 30, HTX has successfully issued 12 phases of the 7-day Shark Fin, each experiencing strong demand. The details are as follows: *Source: HTX exchange The table highlights the continuous increase in the subscription quota and individual subscription limits of HTX Shark Fin products, with 100 million USDT and 1 million USDT, respectively, in the latest phase, respectively. Additionally, the basic APYs of the products have remained between 6%-8%. Each phase of the products has reportedly experienced rapid and full subscription shortly after opening, indicating high user acceptance and participation. HTX's 3-day Shark Fin: Higher APYs, Faster Settlements, Earlier Earnings According to an official announcement from HTX, the Shark Fin products with a 3-day term will debut soon, available for subscription starting December 11, 2023, at 12:00 (UTC). These shorter-term products facilitate more flexible investments and offer four investment options: bullish BTC, bearish BTC, bullish ETH, and bearish ETH. The upcoming subscription cycle for these 3-day products features a total subscription quota of 30 million USDT and an individual subscription limit of 1-200k USDT. Additionally, HTX offers bonuses for these products, with APYs ranging from 10% to 30%, lasting for an entire month. (Note: The actual APY may vary due to market fluctuations; specific yields will be based on the actual returns generated by the products.) The key difference between HTX 7-day and 3-day Shark Fin products lies in the asset lockup period. You may choose between these two types of products based on your research and analysis of market trends. If you have a more confident outlook on longer-term market trends, the 7-day products may be more suitable, as they reduce the need for frequent investment operations. However, if the market experiences significant swings and shows profitable short-term market trends, the 3-day products can offer greater flexibility. Please note both types of Shark Fin products offer basic returns. It is worth mentioning that HTX will introduce a new "Auto-Renewal" feature for Shark Fin products by the end of this year. This feature allows for automatic subscription to the same product using your principal from the previous cycle, eliminating the need for repetitive manual operations in each phase. Shark Fin generates its basic returns from various assets on the platform, such as loans and margins, while extra returns come from options, providing investors with the opportunity to enjoy higher APYs. HTX Earn manages these assets with strict risk control models at different levels to ensure asset safety and stable returns. In appreciation for users' long-term support, HTX Earn also offers additional bonuses for Shark Fin. HTX's 3-day Shark Fin opens for subscriptions from every Monday at 12:00 (UTC) to every Tuesday at 12:00 (UTC), while the 7-day Shark Fin, from every Thursday at 12:00 (UTC) to every Friday at 12:00 (UTC).

Minuteman Press Franchise Review: King's Lynn Owners Paula & Keith Boyce Share Key Lessons Learned & Growth Insights for 2024

Minuteman Press International Inc

For nearly two decades, Paula and Keith Boyce have been the dynamic duo behind the Minuteman Press franchise in the vibrant town of King's Lynn, Norfolk, UK. Their journey has been nothing short of extraordinary, transforming their business from a traditional high street print shop into a cutting-edge powerhouse, delivering ingenious print solutions to a roster of prestigious corporate clients. The highlight of their journey came in 2021 when they received the coveted invitation to join the Minuteman Press International President’s Club, a testament to their unwavering dedication and relentless pursuit of excellence. Keith Boyce shares the nearly 20-year journey of Minuteman Press in King’s Lynn as well as the key lessons learned, growth insights for 2024, and advice for other owners. History of the Business According to Keith Boyce, “it all began in 2004 with the introduction to Minuteman Press International’s invaluable network of suppliers and partners.” With a focus on marketing, the Boyces conquered new markets, concentrating on delivering unparalleled service that shifted the conversation from price to value. This blueprint for success has powered year after year of remarkable growth, with one notable exception—2021 (during the height of the pandemic). So, what makes Minuteman King’s Lynn such a tour de force? Keith shares, “The system isn't a rigid framework; it's a catalyst for innovation. The transition from the bustling High Street to our present location at 12 Campbells Business Park was a thrilling exercise in adaptability, rooted in Minuteman Press' fundamental principles. Through open channels of communication, our entire team embraced opportunities.” Keith continues, “Then came the curveball – COVID-19. The world changed overnight, and our customers needed novel ways to engage with clients and expand their online presence. We already had a head start serving this market and seized this unique moment, igniting a spark of reinvention in the business, setting us apart from the competition. The reward? A robust financial position to propel us through this thrilling metamorphosis.” Growing the Business Today Today, Keith shares, “Our business is a perfect blend of tradition and innovation. Traditional core products still make up 50% of our operations. However, more recently in 2023 we took a bold leap forward by acquiring an apparel company. The remaining 50% is a whirlwind of online services, with virtual shops, print-on-demand, fulfilment, and drop-shipping at the forefront. These cutting-edge solutions are on everyone's lips as they adapt to the evolving business landscape. In 2023 and beyond, we are elated to provide ‘managed print services’ to 10 customers, with grand plans to expand to 20 in the coming year. The magic lies in the fact that our relationships with these customers evolve into vital partnerships, creating a vibrant ecosystem of success and learning.” What's next for Minuteman Press in King’s Lynn? Keith says, “Thankfully, the close-knit team and deep customer connections put us in a unique position. We know our customers inside and out, and partner ourselves with industry leaders. It's about weaving all these threads into a tapestry of opportunity. The market may throw curveballs, but we have pumped up the excitement in 2023 and heading into 2024 with a multi-channel marketing push. We are covering Google, social media, and a reinvigorated campaign to meet our existing, dormant, and new customers face to face.” Keith continues, “As Minuteman Head Office puts it, there's direct marketing, and then there's everything else! This is the fundamental tenet of our ongoing quest for year-on-year growth. We also strive to achieve this with careful consideration of our environmental footprint and the need to focus on sustainability, which is a big point of focus here in the UK.” Key Lessons Learned & Advice for Others Keith concludes by sharing, “The most gripping lessons we’ve learned in our 19-year journey are that marketing and nurturing new & existing customers is an unending adventure. It's about keeping focus on profitability and aligning your employees with stretching objectives and lofty goals. Innovating, problem solving, establishing new revenue streams, all with a view to support customers’ needs is what being a part of the franchise family is all about—boldly venturing into the unknown, setting sights high, and writing our success story, one thrilling chapter at a time.” For more information on Minuteman Press in King’s Lynn, England, visit https://minuteman.com/uk/locations/england/kings-lynn/ Learn more about #1 rated Minuteman Press franchise opportunities and read Minuteman Press franchise reviews at https://minutemanpressfranchise.co.uk Contact Details Minuteman Press International Chris Biscuiti +1 631-249-1370 cbiscuiti@mpihq.com Company Website https://minutemanpressfranchise.com

Comcast and Mt. Hood Cable Regulatory Commission Commit $2 Million to Shrink Digital Divide in Multnomah County

Comcast Oregon / SW Washington

Comcast and the Mt. Hood Cable Regulatory Commission today announced a new $2 million investment in Free Geek, a leading local non-profit advancing economic equity through technology training and career building. This investment will help the most disconnected communities in Multnomah County get online and receive the resources, devices and technology education needed to advance digital skills for education and work, enhance economic mobility, and promote digital equity. “We see firsthand that the digital divide continues to be a persistent challenge for communities in Multnomah County. East Portland, Gresham, Fairview, Wood Village, and Troutdale are home to some of our most disconnected communities. More than 3,000 residents do not own a computer and many others don’t know how to use it effectively,” said Juan Muro, Executive Director, Free Geek. “This investment will ensure that these families have the same benefits as others and their children have access to online resources to be successful in school.” Free Geek will use the investment to help bridge the digital divide by working to connect more people to the internet and getting devices into the hands of people who need them. In addition, Free Geek will serve as consultants to enable community partners to expand their own digital equity programs in alignment with the region's Digital Equity Action Plan, which is focused on helping the most vulnerable communities in Portland and Multnomah County. "All Oregonians should be able to access the internet in order to connect with educational, health care, and economic opportunities," Governor Tina Kotek said. “Together, with public and private partners, we are working towards a common purpose of empowering individuals to get online, enhance digital skills, and advance economic mobility.” Free Geek will also bring additional capacity to its network of community partners as they work to remove barriers to broadband adoption. This includes addressing the lack of awareness about how to participate in the federal government’s Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP), which provides eligible low-income households with a credit of up to $30 per month toward their internet and/or mobile service – $75 per month on tribal lands, as well as the wider availability of free digital skills programs. “The MHCRC has a long history of advocating for digital equity through access to and use of telecommunications technology through public-private partnerships. We are excited to be able to partner with Comcast and Free Geek to bring this resource to the community at a time when funding and support for local efforts in urban communities is limited,” said Julia DeGraw, Chair, MHCRC. Today’s announcement is the latest example of investment in Oregon under Comcast’s Project UP program, a comprehensive initiative to advance digital equity and help build a future of unlimited possibilities. Earlier this year, the company invested $300,000 to advance digital equity and economic opportunity in the greater Portland area. At that time, Comcast and Free Geek joined together to launch a Lift Zone, which provides free WiFi at the new Center for Technology Education & Digital Equity, and scale a Digital Navigators program that will help connect more people in the area to the internet and teach them how to use it. “While high-speed internet is widely available in Multnomah County, the unfortunate reality is that not everyone has the resources and digital skills they need to benefit from it,” said Comcast Pacific Northwest Region Senior Vice President Rodrigo Lopez. “By continuing our partnership with Free Geek, we are creating a more prepared and inclusive workforce and ensuring that communities in the Greater Portland area are not left behind.” Over the last three years, Comcast has provided $5.8 million in financial and in-kind charitable contributions to Oregon nonprofits. These contributions support local community programs that help establish and promote the company’s Digital Equity Network in Oregon. The efforts also enable partner organizations to acquire technology equipment, provide digital skills trainings, and offer opportunities for community members to explore and train for careers in tech-related fields, or to develop the kinds of technology skills that can help them launch and grow their own businesses. Thanks to the ACP, eligible Comcast customers can get home Internet either through Comcast’s Internet Essentials or Internet Essentials Plus service tiers at no cost, once the federal credit is applied. Internet Essentials customers can also add a line of unlimited 5G cellular data ($45/month) through Xfinity Mobile for as little as $24.95/month, after the ACP benefit is applied. For more information about Project UP and Comcast’s commitment to education and digital equity, please visit https://corporate.comcast.com/impact/project-up. To apply for ACP or Internet Essentials visit www.Xfinity.com/free or www.internetessentials.com or call 1-855-846-8376 for English or 1-855-765-6995 for Spanish. About Mt. Hood Cable Regulatory Commission: Mt. Hood Cable Regulatory Commission represents the cities of Fairview, Gresham, Portland, Troutdale, and Wood Village, and Multnomah County. The Commission is comprised of eight volunteers who represent the communities’ cable communications technology needs and collaborate to ensure the region benefits from cable service franchise agreements.

Minuteman Press Franchise in Londonderry, NH Wins Business of the Year

Minuteman Press International Inc

For over 8 years and counting, Bob Bean has been the proud owner of the Minuteman Press franchise in Londonderry, New Hampshire located at 44 Nashua Road, Unit 18. When Bob purchased the business in October of 2015, he followed the Minuteman Press system and immediately became involved with several community groups and organizations. Thanks to Bob’s hard work and dedication, Minuteman Press in Londonderry has won the Business of the Year award from the Greater Derry Londonderry Chamber of Commerce. Bob accepted the award at the special awards dinner that was held on Oct. 12, 2023 at the Tupelo Music Hall in Derry NH. Bob shares his humble reaction to winning the award and provides his insights on the importance of being an active member of local groups in order to build relationships and generate referrals. He also talks about his journey to Minuteman Press and how his passion for helping others drives him today. What does it mean to you to win Business of the Year? H ow are you active in your community? Bob Bean: “Receiving the Business of the Year is a humbling experience. It was a surprise, I did not know that we had made such an impact in the Chamber and business community for this recognition. We have just tried to provide services to the businesses and the community to the best of our ability. It is great to be recognized and know that we are doing a good job with in the communities that we serve. I am involved in two local Chambers, member of the Rotary Club of Londonderry, and have been an active member in BNI for 8 years. I have made many connections with a lot of the non-profits in the area and work with them to help with their needs and support their functions. With the local rotary we have sponsored Christmas on the Commons, Senior High School Graduation Banners have donated to many non-profits and helped with fuel assistance during the winter months. I am also involved with the Freemasons in the state.” How would you best describe your community? Bob Bean: “ The Derry/Londonderry community are the largest two towns that are in the chamber and we have several smaller towns in the chamber also. New Hampshire does not have a lot of large metropolitan areas; it is made up more of small towns that are convenient to bordering states. Other than small businesses and small business owners, the majority of the communities are made up of people that work out of state. The people and businesses in the community are open and always look for ways to help each other when possible. As business owners, we all want to support each other and do what we can to see that we can grow and thrive.” What are some of the key ways you’ve grown your business? Bob Bean: “Networking is the key that has worked for us. Since 2015, I have been a member of the chamber and of BNI. I have always been very active in the networking area by going to meetings, ribbon-cuttings, events, and visiting businesses. We took advantage of the upgraded minuteman.com website to get some traffic through online channels. One of the other biggest ways we’ve built the business is through referrals from our customers and the organizations we work with.” What are your high-demand products and services? Bob Bean: “We have been able to provide direct mail services for many of our clients; this has been a big part of the business over the last few years especially during the pandemic. We also do a lot of marketing catalogs and Playbills for several theater groups and music groups.” What was your previous background? Why did you choose Minuteman Press? Bob Bean: “I was in the computer industry for almost 40 years. Most of my career was in management both in manufacturing and support. I was a Field Service Representative for a computer company for many years. Then, for 20 years, I was a Technical Support Manager for a supermarket chain. I chose Minuteman Press because of the research I did on the company and talking to the Regional Vice President and several store owners.” What has the support from Minuteman Press been like for you? Bob Bean: “Minuteman Press International support has been good on all levels. When I have a question, we can usually get an answer quickly. When there is an issue, support has been good at assisting in resolving the issue.” What are the biggest personal and professional rewards of owning your business? Bob Bean: “Personal and professional goals are similar in that I enjoy helping people and organizations. This business has given me the chance to connect with many more people and organizations to be able to help and give my knowledge and experience to them so that they can succeed.” What advice would you give to other business owners right now? Bob Bean: “Get involved with your local Chamber of Commerce and BNI Networking Group. These two are very critical to the growth and success of the business. Also, look into other organizations and groups like the Exchange, Rotary, Kiwanis, or whatever is in your area and local to your business. But do not just join these groups; get involved and be active in what is going on with the groups and be involved in the community. You get out of them what you put into them, so if you are active and visible then you will be the person or business that others will seek out and rely on for help and advice.” For more information on Minuteman Press in Londonderry, NH, visit https://minuteman.com/us/locations/nh/londonderry/ Learn more about #1 rated Minuteman Press franchise opportunities and read Minuteman Press franchise reviews at https://minutemanpressfranchise.com.

In a year where everything is getting more expensive, we lowered our prices so everyone, especially our younger guests, can come and experience the community spirit, the joy and the music that is White Party! I look forward to seeing you on the dance floor in 2024!” The reimagined Palm Springs event has partnered with The Saguaro Palm Springs hotel for ticket holders where they will also throw their all-new pool party series throughout the weekend. White Party ticket purchasers will have access to hotel rooms featuring spectacular views and upgraded amenities, always making sure they’re only steps away from the weekend’s activities. Start the weekend off with a splash with the AQUA BOY pool party, an all-new event, poolside at the colorful Saguaro Palm Springs. Dance to the unique beats of DJs Jae Fusz and Sharon O’Love. This exciting new pool party series continues Saturday with SOAKIN’ WET! and Sunday with MERMEN! Break out the squirt guns and grab your tails because DJ Corey Craig and Grammy winning Producer/Remixer/DJ Dave Audé and Isis Muretech will heat you up and get you ready to take the plunge into a refreshing musical pool! Pivoting to the first nighttime event of the weekend, White Party Global is excited to announce its partnership with the groundbreaking brand Tom of Finland as together they kick off, ACHROMATICA, a black and white themed night you won’t forget. This sexy night of leather features DJs Mohammad and Nina Flowers and launches you on a fast-paced ride to start the weekend right. A brand-new venue sets the mood as the Margaritaville Resort ballroom is transformed to suit your pleasures. The main event of the weekend returns to the Palm Springs Convention Center like you’ve never seen it before. Prepare for an intimate vibe and sultry dance floor that will transport you to a mystical time and place called SAHARA DESERT NIGHTS. You will enter an enchanted land of riches and exotic décor as you are surrounded by state-of-the-art sound, blazing lasers, and lighting. Dress in traditional white or go all out with Exotic Desert White. Feel the magic all night with DJs TDon, Tomer Maizner and Karsten Sollors. In an homage to the Pharoahs of ancient Egypt, the PHAROAH T-DANCE floor becomes an otherworldly temple as you dance under the protective eye of the Pyramid to state-of-the-art sound, lighting, and videos. The gods are with you as DJs Dan Slater and GSP transport you to another time. Fireworks will dazzle as the night sky darkens and the true magic begins with a backdrop of the Palms Springs mountain range. The weekend culminates in a high-energy closing party with the FORBIDDEN world of DJ Abel at the Margaritaville Resort ballroom. Abel is prepared to take you on a journey all night long and into the wee hours of the morning. Just you, your friends, and the music you love.
