Traveling on a Budget in 2023

YourUpdateTV

While prices for flights, hotels and rental cars are all up across the board, demand for travel isn’t slowing. A recent survey from pay over time provider, Affirm, revealed that despite record-high costs, the average person plans to take three trips this year and spend over $3,000 on travel. Furthermore, 3 in 4 of Millennial and Gen-Z respondents plan to take up to 6 trips this year, with over half planning to spend up to $5,000 on travel. Traveling on a budget can help ensure that people are spending responsibly while also providing ways to make their money go further. Affirm SVP and Financial Health Expert, Katrina Holt, participated in a nationwide satellite media tour, offering her top tips for financially-conscious travelers in 2023: Don’t forget to set a budget. The recent Affirm survey found that nearly 1 in 5 plan to travel this year without setting a budget beforehand, which can easily lead to overspending. When creating a budget, be sure to consider expenses across accommodation, meals, transportation and shopping. Use a transparent, flexible pay over time option like Affirm to spread out your costs and stick to your budget. By selecting Affirm at checkout, approved travelers can split travel costs into biweekly or monthly payments. Travelers will see the total cost of their purchase and will never pay more than they agree to upfront Affirm does not charge late or hidden fees. Watch out for gimmicks that come with travel credit cards. Early sign up bonuses might be enticing, but can easily lead to overspending as you try to hit the minimum. 0% APR credit card promotions can come with deferred interest and surprise you with balloon payments down the line.

Doceree takes the lead on transparency in programmatic Point-of-Care messaging by championing adoption of IAB standard

Doceree

Doceree today launched an industry-first initiative championing an existing standard that aims to authenticate messaging from point-of-care publishers within healthcare. The initiative mitigates any possible risks arising from ambiguity of the ecosystem, something not previously done within point-of-care media and media aggregators. Programmatic technology provides incredible convenience to showcase messages from life sciences brands to healthcare professionals (HCPs) on point-of-care platforms. However, the lack of transparency in the space has marred the progress of the entire ecosystem. In 2017, Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) introduced the ads.txt standard to bolster transparency by authenticating publisher platforms. The adoption of the standard is happening at a slow pace, especially so in the pharmaceutical industry, a sector which is still new to adopting digital tools and technologies to engage HCPs programmatically, compared to those in the consumer marketing space. As a leader in the point-of-care messaging category, Doceree is championing the adoption of the ads.txt standard in the healthcare industry. As part of its latest effort, the company has also released a white paper entitled “ Bolstering Transparency in Programmatic Pharma Messaging” that delves into the crucial role of ads.txt and how its adoption ensures transparency in programmatic media. “It is equally as important to effectively address the downsides of new technologies and empower companies to confidently use programmatic tools for their business growth and success. Being a leader in this ecosystem, it is our responsibility to do everything that bolsters transparency. This is what we are attempting to achieve with our adoption of IAB’s standard ads.txt practice,” said Harshit Jain MD, Founder and Global CEO, Doceree. “With Programmatic display ad spending estimated at nearly $150 billion this year, outpacing topline digital ad spending (according to emarketer US market forecast), it’s imperative that marketers know “who” and “where” are the authorized marketplaces. In healthcare marketing, we walk a very fine line to ensure that the right information is getting to the right patient, caregiver and HCP. This additional level of checks/balances is needed for brand safety and transparency. ” said Karima Sharif, Strategy Lead + Head of Inclusive Investments, Publicis Health Media. The Doceree White Paper can be downloaded here. About Doceree Doceree is a global platform building unprecedented solutions for healthcare professional (HCP) programmatic messaging with proprietary data tools. It facilitates messaging between life sciences brands and HCPs through an extensive global network of digital endemic and point-of-care platforms to programmatically deliver personalized communications to HCPs and transparent marketing campaign metrics at scale.

Sekur Private Data Set To Launch Swiss-Hosted SekurVPN — First 5000 Subscribers Get A 60% Yearly Discount

Sekur Private Data Ltd

By Faith Ashmore, Benzinga Sekur Private Data Ltd. (OTCQX: SWISF) (CSE: SKUR) (FRA: GDT0) announced they will be launching a private, Swiss hosted and highly encrypted, non-big tech VPN solution. Sekur is a US-listed cybersecurity and internet privacy company that provides private and secure communications solutions. It uses its own servers hosted in Switzerland, and military-grade encryption security and combines it with its proprietary encryption and Swiss data privacy laws. The company has responded to growing demand from its existing consumer and business users that have asked the company for a VPN product, and Sekur has completed its state-of-the-art Swiss-hosted VPN privacy solution. Sekur has acquired all the servers needed for the encryption processing and hosting of SekurVPN in its Swiss data centers. The official launch of SekurVPN is set for April 7, 2023. Currently, the company is offering a pre-registration discount to all of its existing Sekur users and shareholders. Pricing will be as follows: $7/month per user or $70/year per user. However, Sekur is offering a promotional price to celebrate the launch. The first 5,000 people to register will receive a 60% discount on the yearly price, totaling $28/year per user for the first two years. Users can go to www.sekurvpn.com to get the offer directly. SekurVPN was designed to help users wanting to mask their IP addresses from hackers. One example of the VPN solution in action would be a user being able to have full privacy and protection from hackers hijacking location information when a user logs into their bank or email. One major factor about SekurVPN is the fact that users will not need to register their phone numbers to download the App on iOS or Android, rendering the user “invisible” to hackers snooping on users’ phone numbers and penetrating their devices through that weakness. Alain Ghiai, CEO of Sekur Private Data said: "We are very excited to announce this pre-registration opportunity for our users and shareholders and anyone wishing to have true privacy on the internet, at a 60% discount to our already very affordable pricing model. The launch of SekurVPN is set for April 7, 2023. We have high hopes for the success of SekurVPN, due to its highly private nature, since it does not use any big tech or computing or hosting and offers only Swiss IPs. Our prime directive is to provide private and secure communications for everyone, and, as we are not connected to any Big Tech or Hyperscaler platform, we offer a truly independent, private and secure means of communications without any data mining, through our proprietary technology and our secure servers based in Switzerland. We look forward to continuing to offer true data privacy to all individuals and their businesses and protect their intellectual property, and their privacy, from data miners and malicious hackers." Sekur is a closed-loop platform with layers of security and SekurVPN is an extension of its commitment to privacy. The company’s existing corporate products like SekurMail and SekurMessenger offer users complete privacy because its code is unavailable for the manipulation that causes hacks, and its Swiss hosting protects users from privacy intrusive laws. In today’s day and age of hacking and cybersecurity threats, it is important to have access to true privacy, and Sekur can help you achieve just that. This article was originally published on Benzinga here. Sekur Private Data Ltd. is a Cybersecurity and Internet privacy provider of Swiss hosted solutions for secure communications and secure data management. The Company distributes a suite of secure cloud-based storage, disaster recovery, document management, encrypted e-mails, and secure communication tools. Sekur Private Data Ltd. sells its products through its websites www.sekur.com and www.sekursuite.com, and approved distributors, and telecommunications companies worldwide.

Comcast Plans Network Expansion in Eagle Creek and Estacada, Oregon

Comcast Washington

Comcast is expanding the availability of high-speed Internet services in Eagle Creek and Estacada, Oregon. Comcast began construction of the infrastructure this month and expects to make a full suite of Internet and video services available to approximately 1,700 homes and businesses in 2023 with the potential to add more locations next year in these rural communities. Some homes and businesses will start receiving access to Comcast service starting in June with construction expected to continue through February 2024. Once construction is complete, all of these homes and businesses will have the foundational next-generation network in place to introduce new multi-gigabit Internet options. Comcast is introducing fiber-rich network improvements that will offer Oregon customers upload speeds up to 10 times faster than the fastest they have now. And the network upgrade will extend throughout Comcast’s service area in Oregon to every community, zip code, and neighborhood served by the network. “We know that high-speed Internet access in rural areas is linked to increased job and population growth, higher rates of new business formation and home values, and lower unemployment rates,” said Rodrigo Lopez, Senior Regional Vice President of Comcast’s Pacific Northwest Region. ““That is why Comcast is committed to expanding its existing network to additional underserved residents, businesses and communities in Oregon that currently do not have access to reliable, high-speed Internet.” The network expansion is the latest example of Comcast’s investment to connect more households and businesses in the Pacific Northwest to its Internet services that deliver fast speeds, more reliability, broader coverage in the home, and greater capacity to support customers’ growing Internet usage. Comcast expanded service to more than 19,000 additional homes and businesses last year in Oregon. Further, the company has invested more than $504 million in technology and infrastructure investments in Oregon during the previous three years, including network expansion and upgrades. Eagle Creek and Estacada residents also will have access to Internet Essentials, the largest and most comprehensive low-cost Internet adoption program for low-income Americans. Comcast proudly participates in the Affordable Connectivity Program, and offers Internet Essentials Plus, a $29.95/month home Internet service that is effectively free for eligible households, once the ACP credit is applied. Interested customers can visit Xfinity.com/ACP or call 1-800-Xfinity to learn more about this program and find out if they qualify. About Comcast Corporation Comcast Corporation (Nasdaq: CMCSA) is a global media and technology company that connects people to moments that matter. We are principally focused on connectivity, aggregation, and streaming with 57 million customer relationships across the United States and Europe.

Angie Avers Shares Why She Left Corporate World to Buy & Grow Minuteman Press Franchise in Phoenix, AZ

Minuteman Press International Inc

Angie Avers has owned her Minuteman Press franchise in Phoenix, Arizona since July of 2021. In this interview, Angie shares how she no longer felt valued as an employee working for others, why she felt comfortable taking the leap into business ownership with Minuteman Press, and how she has successfully grown her business. Angie’s Minuteman Press center is located at 2432 W. Peoria Ave., Suite 1023, Phoenix, AZ 85029. What does it mean to you to be a business owner? Why did you choose Minuteman Press? Angie Avers: “I left the corporate environment after nearly 30 years because I was tired of working for someone else and not feeling valued as an employee. I also struggled with finding a new job for over 2 years as well. One day on LinkedIn, the Minuteman Press opportunity presented itself and I inquired about it. I thought to myself, I have nothing to lose at this point so why not? I was later contacted by Brady Rockwell from the Minuteman Press Int’l team and it all started to become real. I started to panic and almost walked away from this opportunity, but after looking at what Minuteman Press International has accomplished and what they were about, I was sold! I knew they wouldn’t judge me for my age or my background and the key part of it all was ‘we’ll train you.’ My background is in marketing and communications, and why wouldn’t I want to help other business owners build their business with print and promotional products? I thought “this is a no brainer!” What has the support from Minuteman Press International been like for you? Angie Avers: “Minuteman support has been great. Whenever I have a problem with FLEX the team always helps me and if I have other issues, I’m always directed to the correct person. There is so much information in FLEX that I still would like to learn even more. Jack Panzer, my local RVP in Arizona, and Sky Hittle, our Field Rep, are always there to help and be there for when I need help or they direct me to where I need to be.” What do you think sets you apart from the competition? Angie Avers: “I describe my business as a ‘full-service print and marketing design company exclusively ran by women.’ We have a plethora of resources at our fingertips and if we can’t do it in-house, we always have resources to help. I believe what sets us apart is our strong work ethic, our honesty with our customers, and our customer service.” What are your high-demand products and key growth areas? Angie Avers: “It’s really hard to say what our high-demand products are. Our core is still paper products, but we are growing other areas. One area we have grown substantially is our design services. New business owners come into our shop all the time. We discuss what their initial needs are and we start with their logo and colors. From there, we build upon what their other needs are and help them brand other products they may need for their business. One customer comes to mind, where we started from scratch with their logo, then brochures and flyers, labels, and now trade show equipment and promotional products. It’s been super fun helping them build their brand and grow their business.” What are some of the key ways you’ve grown your business? Angie Avers: “One of the biggest ways I grew my business was through an acquisition and it doubled my business last year. I also network with BNI and other organizations when I have a chance. I have started doing more email marketing now that my learning curve has minimized some. Our foot traffic into the shop has also grown. When I took over the business, we put up all new window graphics and added two 14-ft. flags in front of the shop which is located on a main road. We have customers tell us all the time they saw our flags outside.” Why do you think printing remains so vital to businesses today? Angie Avers: “Print is vital because without it, everything would just be shapes and images. A world cannot go without print. We wouldn’t even know how to read if we didn’t have print. So, it is vital for sure.” What are the biggest personal and professional rewards of owning your business? Angie Avers: “Personally, I like answering to myself and making myself accountable for what is happening in my business. I thrive on giving my all to our customers and having a team that gets the job done without me chasing after them all the time. My goal is to be a million-dollar shop before I retire and professionally speaking, I just love helping businesses in my community come alive and building those relationships to sell other products.” What advice would you give to other business owners right now? Angie Avers: “Do your research, put together your pros and cons on being a business owner, and while it’s scary to take the plunge, you’ll never know unless you try. Change is hard for a lot of people, but you don’t grow staying in the same place where you are unhappy. Challenge yourself to be the best you. I did and it was the best decision I ever made. I love what I’m doing, and I wouldn’t change it for anything.” Angie Avers’ Minuteman Press franchise is located at 2432 W. Peoria Ave., Suite 1023, Phoenix, AZ 85029.

From Releasing A Public Course On Using ChatGPT To Leveraging The AI To Improve Company Efficiency — Amesite (NASDAQ: AMST) Looks Ahead Of The Curve For Integrating ChatGPT

Amesite Inc.

By David Willey, Benzinga Click here to read the latest report on Amesite Inc. ChatGPT has shown the potential changes that generative artificial intelligence can bring to the market. Amesite Inc. (NASDAQ: AMST), a Detroit-based AI software company, has set out the progress it has made in integrating generative AI into its platform. The release of ChatGPT showcased the capabilities and potential of generative AI, which is able to produce increasingly sophisticated original content. The Everything as a Service (XaaS) market, which includes products like generative AI, is predicted to reach $1.2 trillion by 2031 growing at a compound annual growth rate of 23.4% between 2021 and 2031, according to a study from Spherical Insights & Consulting. Unsurprisingly, investing in AI capabilities remains a top priority for businesses as they look for new ways to harness innovations in AI technology. For companies like Amestie that also have exposure to the e-learning market, there could be additonal opportunities to merge growth in both, with the overall global e-learning market projected to climb to nearly $1 trillion by 2028. A lot of uncertainty remains, however, around strategies for systematically integrating generative AI and systems like ChatGPT’s language model, GPT-3. The education sector in particular has shown an unwillingness to adopt the technology, with at least one school district blocking the program’s website, and universities holding internal meetings to discuss how to control the impact of ChatGPT. Amesite, on the other hand, has always had an AI-first strategy. Founded in 2018 to provide a platform and content for the best upskilling and e-learning opportunities, Amesite’s approach has allowed the platform to quickly pivot to integrate the latest AI technology into its system. Amesite Shareholder Presentation Amesite Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Anne Marie Sastry recently shared an update for shareholders over a call. In it, she discussed the company’s financial position, as well as the steps the company has taken to integrate GPT-3 into its platform and business model. Sastry reported that Amesite has had an increase in both its revenue and sales pipeline over the past four quarters and that the company has seen an overall increase in operational efficiency in the same time period. She identified the integration of generative AI into the coding and business operations as a key factor in driving the efficiency and outreach gains made by the company. Sastry made a series of Amesite stock purchases in February and March 2023, buying a total of 6,000 shares of common stock in the company for a purchase price of $16,800. This means Sastry, who has never sold any of her common stock shares in Amesite, now owns over 531,000 shares. This kind of insider buying, where a CEO purchases company stock, generally indicates optimism by company executives about the future growth and stock value of a company. Leveraging AI Developments Sastry commented during the shareholder update on how Amesite is keeping up with the fast-paced developments in the AI industry. As part of its generative AI offerings, Amesite launched new learning and creative assistants that help course designers create content for the platform. It also released a publicly available course on the fundamentals of using ChatGPT. According to Sastry’s presentation, the announcement of Amesite’s ChatGPT content resulted in a five times increase in site traffic. Amesite continues to host eLearning and upskilling programs that have a 99% learner retention rate for businesses, non-profits, and institutes of higher education. Amesite recently announced a pilot program in partnership with Benedict College, as part of the company’s alliance with the National Association for Equal Opportunity in Higher Education (NAFEO). The Benedict College Pilot is an upskilling program that gives students the skills to thrive in a tech-driven economy. "Benedict’s commitment to their students is admirable, and Amesite is proud to be able to provide them with a scalable online infrastructure and technology upskilling content to enable them to deliver this learning with excellence. This pilot is another example of how we can deliver much-needed upskilling campus-wide, very efficiently," said Dr. Ann Marie Sastry, Founder and CEO of Amesite. Other companies in the online learning space include Coursera Inc. (NYSE: COUR), 2U (NASDAQ: TWOU) and Powerschool Holdings Inc. (NYSE: PWSC). Interested in learning more about Amesite?
