ANNISTON, ALABAMA WOMAN FEATURED IN NEWEST HIBBETT SMALL-TOWN SNEAKERHEAD

Hibbett, Inc.

Hibbett, Inc. (NASDAQ:HIBB), an athletic-inspired fashion retailer with more than 1,100 Hibbett and City Gear specialty stores nationwide, today announced the latest release of the exclusive Small-Town Sneakerhead (STSH) series celebrating sneaker culture. The newest episode features 24 year-old Amari Fleming of Anniston, Alabama, a Physical Therapy Tech whose father inspired her to collect sneakers. “Small-Town Sneakerhead is an homage to unique and interesting sneaker collectors from unexpected small pockets of the country,” said Sarah Sharp-Wangaard, VP Marketing, Hibbett. “Hibbett was founded in the great state of Alabama and we enjoy featuring another sneaker fan with a passion for her hometown and hearing about why she loves Anniston.” In the latest Small-Town Sneakerhead episode, Fleming, who has a degree in Exercise Science and works as a Physical Therapy Tech, says that she loves her small town of Anniston, Alabama because her father’s family originated there. She is proud of Anniston’s significant civil rights history that takes place there including that it was a stopping point in 1961 for the Freedom Riders. Some of Fleming’s favorite spots in Anniston include; Quintard Mall, for movies and shopping, Crab Barrack for seafood and Choccolocco Park for beautiful scenery, biking, hiking and kayaking and to catch practices and games for the minor league baseball team, the Choccolocco Monsters. Fleming was inspired to start collecting sneakers by her father who had his own sneaker collection. “Growing up I always enjoyed streetwear and always wanted to own a pair of Jordan’s. When I got my first full time job, I was finally able to buy my own pair and now there are approximately 75 pairs in my collection. What draws me to a pair of sneakers is the uniqueness of the design, how rare they are, a pair that will hold value and something that I know not a lot of people have. The top three things a pair has to have are a story, a unique silhouette and a color that pops.” “Being a sneakerhead means that not only do you enjoy collecting sneakers, but you also enjoy learning about the story and value behind the sneaker. Wearing sneakers allows us to tell a story without even speaking. What’s special about sneaker culture is just appreciating the story and value of a sneaker. It’s interesting to see how sneakers appreciate in value, like jewelry or fine wine, collecting shoes is like enjoying and collecting art. In my collection I’m most proud that I was able to secure the Nike Concepts X Dunk Low Orange Lobsters and the Air Jordan 1Retro High OG Denim.” "It was a great pleasure to highlight Amari and her story - a homegrown sneakerhead in Alabama, where Hibbett was founded,” said Matt Halfhill, Founder and CEO, Nice Kicks. “It was even more special to tell a story of Nike Air and its versatile and timeless style as a staple for everyone no matter your age or where you call home.” About Small-Town Sneakerhead In 2020, Hibbett launched the Small-Town Sneakerhead project to provide sneakerheads from all walks of life the platform to share their personal sneaker narrative. Produced in partnership with Nike and Nice Kicks, the series highlights the evolving sneaker scene and enthusiasts from across the country. Hibbett has featured collectors from East Buffalo, NY, Cheyenne, WY, Hampton, VA, Cape Girardeau, MO, Murphy, TX, Hopkinsville, KY, Lafayette, LA, Crosby, TX, Sandy Springs, GA and St. George, UT with more coming soon.

Unleash Your Inner Adventurer

YourUpdateTV

Are you looking for a vacation destination that offers endless adventure and relaxation? Well, look no further than northeastern North Carolina’s charming lake and river towns. Wit Tuttell, executive director of Visit NC, and Bruce Tyler, co-founder of Weldon Mills Distillery, recently conducted a satellite media tour to talk about the hidden gems and local hotspots that make this region so special. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/CF6-KlI9A90 With spring in full flow, Visit North Carolina rolls out Dream Big in Small Town NC in the state’s Northeast Lakes & Rivers region, an area dotted with waterside gems, refreshing views and resonant history. Travelers can try their luck with sweepstakes prizing as they follow the Dream Big initiative’s roadmap to under-the-radar destinations that will welcome a boost in visitation and interest in longer stays. “Halifax, Henderson, Tarboro, Warrenton — these towns and others invite travelers to cozy up and connect,” said Wit Tuttell, executive director of Visit North Carolina. “Their appeal is immediate as well as timeless with fresh vitality springing from the big dreams of hometown heroes and newly arrived visionaries. Now is a perfect time for travelers to discover places worth knowing.” Dream Big in Small Town NC, created by the General Assembly as the Rural Tourism Recovery Pilot Program, targets 16 counties at risk for population loss as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The initiative began with a focus on five Scenic Mountain counties and now continues in Edgecombe, Halifax, Vance and Warren counties, whose bodies of water include Kerr Lake, Lake Gaston, and the Tar and Roanoke rivers. The final phase, beginning in June, will zero in on seven Inner Banks counties. Easily reached from exits along Interstates 85 and 95, the Northeast Lakes & Rivers destinations combine distinctive culture with landmark history plus natural beauty and recreation. Start the getaway dream by entering the sweepstakes for a chance to win: · A $1,000 voucher from program partner Airbnb. · Three $100 gift cards for a choice of restaurants, shops and activities. · A $500 gift card from Visit NC to assist with travel expenses. For outdoor lovers, the rivers and lakes create ample reason to explore, Tuttell said. In Henderson, Kerr Lake and its 850 miles of shoreline have a dozen local access points, including eight in a state recreation area known for hiking and birding as well as water activities. At Lake Gaston, between Warrenton and Roanoke Rapids, adventure seekers can sign up for lessons from international wakeboarding champion Adam Fields’ AF Wake. Tarboro visitors can access the scenic Tar River Paddle Trail, and distance paddlers can embark on the Roanoke River State Trail from Weldon. Stunning views of history and nature reward hikers and bikers at Medoc Mountain State Park and on the Roanoke Canal Museum & Trail, which makes loaner bikes available. “There’s joy in these outdoor activities plus a sense of wonder from the historic moments since the time of the Tuscarora,” Tuttell said. “In Halifax, North Carolina became the first colony to call for independence from Britain. Weldon was home to the world’s longest railroad, which played an outsize role in Civil War history. The Roanoke Canal Trail includes stops on the National Underground Railroad Network to Freedom. Princeville became one of the first towns in the country chartered by Black residents, and Warren County is recognized as the ‘birthplace of environmental justice’ based on a 1982 protest.” If economic growth has favored urban areas in recent decades, the Lakes & Rivers towns have been fortified by a deep-rooted community spirit and sense of possibility. Ambitious locals who left have returned with big ideas for revitalizing and reinventing the places where they grew up. Homecoming enterprises include Tarboro’s On the Square restaurant and Tarboro Brewing, Halifax’s Hen & the Hog and Halifax Studios, and Littleton’s Blue Jay Bistro, Main Street Wines and Daphne’s Coffee Shop plus the revitalized Lakeland Cultural Arts Center. Near Norlina, Seven Springs Farm & Vineyard opened in 2020 to become a popular spot for music events and wine tastings. Lori Medlin, president and CEO of the Halifax County Convention & Visitors Bureau, cites a pair of entrepreneurs who were inspired to turn a former sleepwear factory in Weldon into a distillery. Almost immediately after opening in 2019, Weldon Mills Distillery gained national attention with its award-winning bourbons and other spirits. The founders of Sylvan Heights Bird Park in Scotland Neck arrived by way of Great Britain. And in nearby Vance County, downtown Henderson attracted an achiever who opened The Eleanor on Belle hotel and a shop called Gear and Beer. “Small towns are best explored at leisure,” Tuttell said. “Between the outdoors and the distinctive downtowns, there’s infinite opportunity to dream big in our Lakes & Rivers destinations.” Dream Big comes with a two-facet approach to economic development: a tourism promotion to infuse revenue into local economies plus appeal to people interested in relocation. As a unit of the Economic Development Partnership of North Carolina, Visit NC is coordinating Dream Big with the N.C. Department of Commerce and other private and public entities involved in growing the state’s first-in-talent workforce. Funded with $1.5 million from the American Rescue Plan Act, the initiative has a dedicated presence on VisitNC.com, complete with links for job postings in the Scenic Mountains ( Graham, Haywood, Madison, Mitchell and Yancey ) and Inner Banks ( Chowan, Gates, Hertford, Martin, Perquimans, Tyrrell and Washington ) as well as the Northeast Lakes & Rivers. The Dream Big homepage also links to the Airbnb website with content to help travelers plan trips and find short-term rental properties in each region. Beyond the exposure from the satellite media tour and sweepstakes, Dream Big will reach the traveling public via @VisitNC’s social media channels. A digital content creator campaign is bringing selected tastemakers to the destinations to engage followers in the local culture and lifestyle appeal for people interested in a long-term change of scenery. Program partner Airbnb, which is also promoting the campaign on its social media channels, is using its inventory of short-term rental properties to host the content creators. “North Carolina is full of unmatched opportunities for big dreams to take hold,” Tuttell said. “We want people to bring them here and make them real.” · For a quick look at enticements in Dream Big destinations, click here. · Find photos from Dream Big destinations here.

About Bruce Tyler Attorney Bruce Tyler, a 26-year Army veteran, and Michael Hinderliter opened Weldon Mills Distillery in 2019. Their quest to create a distillery in a historic building with character led them to Weldon, a historic town on the Roanoke River that's known as the “rockfish capital of the world.” Weldon Mills quickly became a regular award winner at competitions, including the East Coast Craft Spirits Awards, the Microliquor Spirit Awards, the SIP Awards and the San Diego International Wine and Spirits Challenge, which named Weldon Mills the Distillery of the Year for 2022. Best known for its bourbons (The All Malt, Reserve, Select and Soldier's Cut, which honors the 82nd Airborne Division and raises money for Gold Star Families), Weldon Mills also crafts vodka, gin, tequila and other spirits.

OYO USA Clocks 48% Growth in Revenue from Bookings on its Own Platforms

OYO

Global travel tech company OYO’s US business witnessed a 48% growth in revenue from bookings on its own platform, such as the app, website, mobile web and call centers in Q4 2022 vs same period in 2021. OYO’s app led the growth with a 99% surge in revenue from bookings in Q4 2022 vs same period in 2021. The company had earlier disclosed that its app is the second most downloaded travel app with over 100 million downloads globally. Growth in revenue from bookings via the company’s call centers saw a 59% increase for the same period. Talking about the improved direct demand, Gautam Swaroop, CEO OYO International said, “US is a highly competitive travel & hospitality market. Driving revenue from bookings onto one's own platform and channels is always a demanding task. While bookings through online travel agents such a Booking.com and Expedia.com play an important role in increasing revenues for our hotel partners, direct demand through OYO’s own platforms leads to better margins for our hoteliers. We have improved direct bookings through simple yet effective measures to bring in operational efficiencies and create a strong business impact. We saw a 3x growth in app conversions and a 2x growth in conversions from the call center using product, price optimizations and by creating operational efficiencies, performance management & better incentive structures in the organization.” Nikhil Heda, Head of Business Development, OYO USA added, “We have focused on things that matter to travelers while planning their stays and improving reach and readability of our communication. As a result, we have seen 1.4X growth in our email opens and 2X growth in click throughs of notifications on our app. This has resulted in a significant improvement in demand via OYO’s own channels. Optimizations such as focusing on the right SEO keyword and improving property reviews on Google have also resulted in improved direct bookings, in turn resulting in substantial savings in OTA commissions for our owners.” Commenting on their experience of working with OYO, Ajay Patel, owner of OYO Hotel Eloy Casa Grande, Arizona said, “We have been seeing 1.5X growth in RevPar from bookings via OYO’s app and call center. Over the last 6 months this has resulted in us paying lower commissions. Typical OTA commissions range anywhere between 15% to 18% and reduced reliance on other channels have helped us save over 50% of the commissions.” OYO offers hotels access to a large base of regular customers through its app and website, and also lists hotels on multiple Online Travel Agents (OTAs) to boost booking demand and, revenue. OYO’s best-in-class Artificial Intelligence-enabled pricing software automatically drives the best booking prices across all channels, based on room type, seasonality and other factors, therefore, enabling such increase in online revenues. Earlier this year OYO said that it is planning to add over 100 hotels in the US in 2023. This is nearly double the number of hotels the company added to its portfolio in 2022. OYO will focus on adding more hotels in the states of Oregon, Washington, Texas, Oklahoma, Georgia and Florida. Texas continues to be the largest and fastest growing market for OYO in the US, while it also has sizable concentration of hotels in Oregon, South and North Carolina, Florida & Georgia. In 2022, the company saw a ~23% increase in new hotels added to its portfolio in the US vs 2021. OYO has started offering hotels the flexibility of not having to invest heavily in redoing the hotel to join the OYO platform, something that other budget hotel chains insist on. Therefore, the initial investment to join OYO is minimal. It has been focusing instead on standardizing service led components such as customer support and booking experience. The company helps ensure great experience for customers, with ease of search and a quick booking experience, highly competitive room prices as per market demand patterns, automated tools such as Artificial Intelligence powered chatbots to quickly resolve customer queries, loyalty programmes and easy refund, if needed. OYO’s US operations recently announced that it has outpaced the budget hotel segments growth in per available room revenue (RevPar) with an 18% rise in 2022 vs pre-covid year, 2019. The budget hotel segment in the meanwhile, grew by only 6% in the US.

В допълнение, НАП изисква онлайн казиното да отговаря на критериите за определяне съгласно Правилата за отговорни искове, преди да предостави такъв лиценз на оператора. С регулаторния орган може да се свържете незабавно, ако попаднете на платформа, която не посочва ясно, че притежавате лиценз или е един от сайтовете, забранени от агенцията по приходите.

Как да изберете най-доброто онлайн казино в България Разумният избор е по-важен, отколкото бихте си представили, ако искате да се забавлявате в онлайн казино. Как можете да стоите далеч от сайтове, които използват измамни тактики, като лъскави, но в крайна сметка незадоволителни игри и бонуси, за да ви заблудят да се разделите с трудно спечелените пари? Ще разгледаме някои от основните неща, за които трябва да внимавате, за да можете да изберете правилното онлайн казино за вас. Хиляди и хиляди сайтове сега предоставят първокласни онлайн казино услуги благодарение на усилията на огромна мрежа от разработчици на софтуер и утвърдени платформи за онлайн залози. Тези, които харесват тръпката от хазарта, но нямат време или пари да отидат в истинско казино, сега могат да се отдадат на някои от най-добрите казино игри, без да напускат уюта на собствения си дом, благодарение на растежа на онлайн казината. Нека да видим някои от факторите, които ще ви помогнат да разграничите хубавите от лошите казина. Сигурност Безопасността на играчите е една от основните грижи, когато става въпрос за онлайн казина. Именно заради това можете да бъдете сигурни, че казино платформите, които ние ви предлагаме гарантират, че вашите данни са защитени благодарение на използването на последна технология защитни стени и криптиращ софтуер. Разнообразие от игри За да забавлява клиентите си за дълги периоди от време, всяко топ онлайн казино ще има голям избор от слот и казино игри. Най-големите казина на пазара си партнират с най-реномираните разработчици на софтуер, които от своя страна предлагат на играчите най-вълнуващите и иновативни игри от целия свят. Игрите с крупие на живо започват да се появяват заедно с по-конвенционалните казино игри като покер, бакара и слотове, предоставяйки на играчите удобството да играят любимите си игри от всяко място, заедно с истинска казино атмосфера. Те ви позволяват да започнете разговори с крупието и други играчи, обогатявайки усещането, че сте част от играта. Разплащателни методи За да започнете да играете на предпочитаните от вас казино игри, първо трябва да направите депозит. Това става с помощта на различни опции за плащане, предлагани от онлайн казината. Дните на чакане да се направи депозит или теглене са далече отминали, днешните най-добри казина използват авангардна технология, за да гарантират, че клиентите никога не трябва да чакат парите си. Опциите за депозит в най-добрите онлайн казина често включват банкови преводи, кредитни/дебитни карти и електронни портфейли. Има сайтове за онлайн хазарт, които позволяват на играчите да използват криптовалути и NFT както за депозити, така и за тегления, задоволявайки нуждите на ентусиастите на крипто активи. Достъп чрез мобилни устройства За удобство на своите играчи, водещите български онлайн казина предоставят или оптимизирани за мобилни устройства версии на своите уебсайтове, или специални мобилни приложения. Стига да имате достъп до стабилна интернет връзка и мобилно устройство с уеб браузър, можете да играете, когато и където решите. По-голямата част от геймърите сега играят на мобилни устройства, поради което дизайнерите са се погрижили техните игри да са напълно съвместими с всички популярни платформи. Това означава, че да играете, да речем, на телефона си, няма да ви създаде проблеми и няма да усетите никакво неудобство или разлика в качеството или количеството на игрите. Промоционални оферти и бонуси Всевъзможни видове бонуси са налични в повечето онлайн казина. Безплатни завъртания и промоционални оферти за регистрация са само част от многото начини, по които онлайн казино платформите привличат нови играчи. Поради тази причина, този вид промоции често се предлагат от най-популярните онлайн казина. Почти всеки сайт за онлайн казино игри се стреми да предостави изключителни, единствени по рода си оферти, за да се открои от конкуренцията и да привлече повече клиенти. Един от най-добрите бонуси, които можете да откриете на пазара е казино бонус без депозит. Това означава, че веднага щом създадете акаунт в онлайн казиното, вие ще получите безплатни средства в своя акаунт. Изискванията за залог на бонусите в онлайн казината са бърз и лесен начин за оценка на тяхната стойност. Възможно е да има ограничения за това кога и как може да се използва бонус, като максимален брой игри или ограничение на игрите, на които можете да играете, докато е активен бонусът. Добра идея е да научите изискванията за различните бонуси, които едно казино може да предложи, преди да създадете акаунт. Казино бонуси и промоции предлагани от онлайн казината Както вече споменахме, казино бонусите са един от най-често срещаните начини, чрез които онлайн казината привличат нови играчи към своите платформи. Ето защо е много важно да знаете кои са най-добрите видове бонуси и кои от тях ще можете да срещнете в топ онлайн казината. Начален бонус Бонусът за регистрация често идва с допълнителни предимства за играча. Когато играч направи своя първоначален депозит в някои казина, той има право на бонус за добре дошъл или още познат като Начален бонус. Докато някои бонуси от този вид са ограничени до първоначалния депозит, други платформи за хазарт дават няколко бонуса в хода на първите няколко депозита. Можете да получите този вид оферта само веднъж, когато създавате акаунт в определено онлайн казино. Кешбек бонус Един от най-разпространените видове казино бонуси е кешбек бонусът. Тези награди имат за цел да компенсират парите, които играчите губят за определен период от време. Това е подходът на казиното да ви покаже, че ви оценява и иска да ви помогне да започнете да печелите. Процентът, който играчите получават, обикновено се определя предварително и варира от оферта до оферта. Той може да се приложи или към загубената сума по време на игра, или към първоначалния залог. Този бонус, подобно на много други, се предлага в няколко различни варианта. В резултат на това, някои кешбек бонуси могат да ви възстановят неограничена сума пари, докато други ще го направят под формата на бонус средства, които може да са предмет на изисквания за залагане и други условия. Възможно е да има ограничение във времето за наличността на някои оферти. Бонус презареждане Ако сте играли в казиното преди и сте направили депозит, може да имате право на бонус за презареждане. Този бонус е начин казината да благодарят на редовните си играчи, че продължават да играят в сайта им и да използват услугите им. Този вид бонус не изисква от вас да създадете нов акаунт, за да можете да го получите. Софтуер и онлайн казино игри Днес можете да намерите стотици сайтове, които са посветени единствено на онлайн хазарта, и всеки от тях предлага голям избор от казино игри, разработени с най-новите технологии. Тези онлайн казина, които използват водещите разработчици на казино игри са си спечелили солидна репутация сред играчите, като редовно надминават високите си стандарти в обслужването на клиентите и подбора на игри, давайки им най-доброто както от класическия, така и от най-модерния свят на казиното. Нека да се потопим по-нататък в детайлите около най-добрите разработчици на онлайн казино игри. Pragmatic Play Компанията Pragmatic Play, основана през 2015 г., вече се е утвърдила като лидер в своята област. Повече от 250 игри, включително слотове, игри на маса, скреч карти, видео покер и други, са произведени от компанията. Цялата ѝ библиотека от игри е изградена върху предоставянето на единствено по рода си и напълно завладяващо игрово изживяване във всички платформи, с които разработчика работи. Това е важна част от изживяването, което геймърите търсят, поради което игрите са достъпни на всички основни езици и валути, а освен това могат да бъдат играни и на всички мобилни устройства. Също така е добре известно, че Pragmatic Play се ангажира да обслужва регулирани пазари. Комисията по хазарта на Обединеното кралство, Органът по хазарта на Малта и правителството на HM на Гибралтар са само част от престижните регулаторни органи, които са издали на фирмата лицензи за хазарт, което й позволява да работи на над 20 световни пазара. Play’n GO Когато хората мислят за висококачествени казино игри, те веднага се сещат за Play'n GO. Фирмата е активна на пазара от 1997 г., като бързо изгради своето име на пазара за онлайн казино гири. Има много нови и завладяващи слот машини, игри на маса, бинго и игри с фиксирани коефициенти въведени от доставчика оттогава. KISS Reels of Rock, Hugo's Adventure и много други маркови слотове, вдъхновени от живота и кариерите на популярни групи и телевизионни програми, са налични в колекцията на компанията. Play'n GO печели признания от най-престижните институции в индустрията на последователна основа. Многобройни награди бяха присъдени на компанията, включително “Доставчик на годината” на SBC Awards и “Доставчик на годината” в International Gaming Awards. Microgaming С почти 25 години зад гърба си, Microgaming е истински ветеран в игралния бизнес. Фирмата беше новатор в областта на разработката на софтуер за онлайн казина. Microgaming се превърна в носител на множество награди, като продължава да разширява границите на онлайн хазарта със своите нови игри. Казино игрите с виртуална реалност (VR) на Microgaming предоставят на потребителите ново игрово измерение, когато се използват с VR слушалките Oculus Rift. Това печелите на компанията наградата за иновация на годината в цифровите игри на 2015 Global Gaming Awards. Наградата е доказателство за отдадеността на Microgaming към разработването на иновативни нови подходи към казино забавленията. Приложения и мобилни устройства Появата на мобилни устройства направи революция в онлайн казино индустрията. Играчите вече могат да се наслаждават на любимите си игри на всяко устройство, не само на настолни компютри и лаптопи. Индустрията на мобилните казино се разраства с феноменална скорост, тъй като все повече и повече хора харесват удобството, което техните смартфони и таблети им предлагат. С мобилните казина геймърите могат да се наслаждават на любимите си игри бързо и лесно от всяко място и по всяко време. Мобилните казино платформи позволяват на играчите да имат достъп до акаунтите си от всяко място, без да трябва да отделят значителна част от времето си. Това дава възможност на играчите да се насладят на няколко рунда на блекджек или да завъртят барабаните, когато им е удобно. Мобилните казина дават голям избор от игри, бонуси и специални оферти, които карат все повече хора да използват своите мобилни устройства, за да удовлетворят жаждата си за забавления. Изгряващата слава на мобилните казина може да се дължи отчасти на повишената сигурност, която предоставят. Всички данни на играчите и паричните сделки са криптирани с помощта на най-съвременни мерки за сигурност. Това е много важно за всички, които някога са се притеснявали, че парите или самоличността им ще бъдат откраднати, когато играят онлайн казино игри. Ограниченията за сумата, която може да се депозира в мобилните казина, могат да бъдат мощно оръжие в борбата срещу пристрастяването към хазарта. Широкото разпространение на смартфони и таблети също е от решаващо значение за развитието на мобилната казино индустрия. Все повече и повече казина се грижат за мобилните потребители, като предлагат приложения и уеб сайтове, които са оптимизирани за по-малките екрани на мобилните устройства. Мобилните версии на популярни онлайн платформи за залагане в България са популярни сред играчите, тъй като интерфейсът е сравним с този на настолните, а всички игри вървят безпроблемно, без накъсвания или понижаване на качеството. Разплащателни методи в България За да могат да функционират онлайн казината в България те трябва да използват модерни методи за разплащане, чрез които потребителите им да могат бързо, лесно и безпроблемно да депозират и теглят средства. Ето защо ние ще ви посочим едни от най-известните начини, чрез които вие можете безопасно да направите депозит в своя казино акаунт. PayPal PayPal се използва широко в България като средство за захранване на сметки за онлайн залагания. Предоставя почти безкрайни възможности за бизнес сделки, много висококачествени и надеждни услуги, удобство и сигурност на потребителите на онлайн казина. Skrill Skrill е платформа за онлайн плащания и парични преводи, който съществува от 2001 г. Клиентите могат да финансират своите казино портфейли, като използват функциите, които Skrill предлага. В сравнение с други услуги, Skrill се откроява с ниските си транзакции и стабилна надеждност за правене на депозити, тегления и трансфери. Cashterminal В цялата страна има банкомати на Cashterminal, които можете да използвате, за да направите плащане към своя онлайн казино акаунт в определени платформи. Този метод на плащане се приема от по-голямата част от букмейкърите в България. За да направите депозит, просто изберете желания сайт от списъка, въведете идентификационните си данни и потвърдете депозита си. Ако решите да захранвате сметката си в букмейкъра с кеш терминал, средствата ви ще бъдат изпратени незабавно, което означава, че ще можете бързо и безпроблемно да започнете да използвате своят казино акаунт. Поддръжка към клиента в онлайн казината в България Отделите за обслужване на клиенти на онлайн казината са от решаващо значение за техния успех. Тези екипи са там, за да помогнат на играчи, които имат проблеми или въпроси относно определени функции или промоции, налични в онлайн казино платформите. Повечето онлайн казина използват най-новите технологии, когато изработват своите платформи, но това не е гаранция, че няма да се натъкнете на проблем. Когато това стане, потребителите трябва да знаят, че имат достъп до професионалисти, които ще могат незабавно разрешат всеки техен проблем. Ако има някакви въпроси или притеснения, те трябва да бъдат адресирани незабавно. Това е възможно само ако платформата има средствата да поддържа потребителите във всички достъпни канали за комуникация. Чат на живо, имейл и безплатен телефонен номер са най-ефективните начини за комуникация с клиентите. Услугата, която една компания може да предостави на своите клиенти, е значително подобрена от наличието на различни начини за изпращане на запитвания и оплаквания, това дава на клиентите усещане за сигурност и професионално отношение. Сигурността на играчите и техните лични данни Растежът на индустрията за онлайн хазарт е пряко свързан с подобренията в технологиите. Защото без него залагащите не биха могли да залагат или да участват в най-новите казино игри. Изглежда обаче, че тези разработки са помогнали на казината в областта на киберсигурността. Последното нещо, което всяко уважавано онлайн казино иска, е личната информация на клиентите му да попадне в неподходящи ръце. Защитени сървъри, защитни стени и криптиране на данни са трите стълба на сигурността, които всяко уважавано онлайн казино използва, за да защити личната информация на своите клиенти. Заключение За любителите на хазарта, които ценят ефективността или просто нямат толкова много свободно време, появата на онлайн казина е благодат. Този вид залагане ще ви освободи от ограниченията на времето и мястото, позволявайки ви да се насладите на любимите си игри, когато и където решите.

Carry-on Getaway: Packing for Vacation 101

YourUpdateTV

The days are getting longer, the weather is getting warmer, and everybody is busy daydreaming about their next vacation getaway. But before all of that fun in the sun or adventure in a new place, we need to set ourselves up for success with the perfect outfits. More importantly, we need to make sure all of our great outfits fit into that convenient carry-on suitcase. And that means knowing what to bring, how to style it, and how to pack it. Recently, Lifestyle Expert Christine Bibbo Herr teamed with Tommy Bahama on a nationwide satellite media tour to share helpful tips on styling your vacation wardrobe and packing the perfect carry-on bag. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/OLIB44TUyls According to Christine, pre-planning for vacation is key so that when you arrive at your destination, there’s no guesswork. When deciding on what to pack, always start with the color story and think about how many ways you can wear each piece. Colors should be interchangeable, and styles should be multi-purpose, allowing you to layer and make endless outfit combinations. Tommy Bahama, the masters of relaxation, are the perfect source for vacation-ready, multi-purposes pieces. Their swimsuits are not only reversible, but work great with shorts, allowing you to go seamlessly from pool to party or around town. It’s also a good idea to pack an active piece, like this skort made from performance fabric. It’s lightweight and moisture-wicking, making it a great piece for walking, pickleball or other fun activities. When packing your carry-on bag, planning is important. Try using packing cubes to stay organized so that when you get to your destination you know where everything is and you save space. They are also great to use for your dirty laundry on the way home. Don't overpack accessories. Pick one shoe that can get wet (like a flip-flop), a sandal to dress up or down, a sneaker for walking and staying active and a great pair of Maui Jim sunglasses for sun protection. Plus a packable hat and a roomy tote that you can carry on the plane.

How AmeriLife is Unlocking the Power of Data to Drive Increased, Accelerated Growth

AmeriLife

If the fervor around ChatGPT and similar emerging technologies have taught us anything, it’s that technology is only as good as the data upon which it’s built – and the real, business-driving insights it can generate. Over the past two years, AmeriLife’s Enterprise Data & Analytics team has been assembling an industry-leading group of data scientists and business strategists who are working to fundamentally change the game for predictive analytics in insurance distribution. Leveraging the latest in machine learning and predictive modeling, the team’s efforts culminated late last year with the launch of Atlas for the 2023 Medicare Annual Enrollment Period (AEP). Atlas is a best-in-class data platform that leverages proprietary internal and third-party external data to predict the most popular Medicare Advantage plans down to the county level, allowing AmeriLife affiliates to identify coverage gaps in their areas, build more performative and sustainable sales and marketing strategies, as well as support agent recruitment and carrier relations. “The incredible potential of a platform such as Atlas demands an intentional approach that brings together the right people, data and technology at the right time, all combined with continuous feedback we receive from our distribution partners,” said Tim Calvert, Chief Operating Officer for AmeriLife. “The success of Atlas proved that a true, cutting-edge data platform requires more than a ‘field of dreams’ strategy; it’s about delivering a bespoke experience with real value to our partners whose insights can also benefit all of our companies collectively.” “Data and our data scientists are at the core of Atlas. THL partnered with Tim, Mark Springett, and their team, along with our Chief Architect, Jagjit Singh, to create a model that drives insights across the full value chain, driving benefits previously unavailable,” added Mark Benaquista, Managing Director in THL’s Strategic Resource Group. “In its inaugural year, we have seen the impact and are excited for the next set of advancements.” As the team looks ahead to balance of 2023, it anticipates a number of new enhancements, dashboard expansions, and other forecasting tools will be added to its solutions suite for agency owners, marketers and agents to optimize their sales and marketing activities and grow their client bases. Most critically, though, will be the continued expansion of its proprietary dataset, which will arguably be the industry’s most comprehensive dataset of both proprietary internal and external third-party data for an unparalleled view of the evolving Medicare market. “Partnering with our agents, advisors and marketers, along with leveraging data, technology and data science, has allowed us – in a short amount of time – to provide the highest level of actionable insights to help them grow and sustain their businesses,” said Mark Springett, senior vice president of Enterprise Data & Analytics for AmeriLife. “We’ve only begun to scratch the surface of the transformative impact of these insights, and look forward to rolling out more resources in the coming months." ### About AmeriLife AmeriLife’s strength is its mission: to provide insurance and retirement solutions to help people live longer, healthier lives. In doing so, AmeriLife has become recognized as the leader in developing, marketing, and distributing life and health insurance, annuities and retirement planning solutions to enhance the lives of pre-retirees and retirees across the United States. For more than 50 years, AmeriLife has partnered with top insurance carriers to provide value and quality to customers served through a distribution network of over 300,000 insurance agents and advisors and 120 marketing organizations and insurance agency locations nationwide.

43-Year Printing Business Graphic Communications Converts to Minuteman Press Franchise in Shelby Township, Michigan

Minuteman Press International Inc

43-year printing business Graphic Communications has been sold by Dennis Wrobleski to new owners Nathan and Jane Kogan. Following the sale, the business is being converted to a full-service Minuteman Press franchise. The new Minuteman Press in Shelby Township is located at 50671 Wing Drive, Shelby Township, MI 48315. On buying the business, Nathan Kogan says, “My background was in finance and accounting. I held a position as an Assistant Controller for a privately owned wealth management company for almost 19 years. My wife and I decided to become business owners because we wanted to build something for ourselves and our kids. Our hope is that someday, our kids will join us and want to be a part of this wonderful company.” Seller Dennis Wrobleski shares, “My main objective in transferring the business was the security of my employees and the care of our clientele. I was happy to learn that Minuteman Press franchise owners are supported and trained to handle the print and marketing needs of local businesses. I believe this will be a huge benefit to our clients adding access to more products and services. The most likely prospect of growth with the expansion of products available to our existing clientele and new clients ensures a beneficial outcome for the employees.” History of the Business Graphic Communications began as a Michigan partnership in 1980. Dennis explains, “My former partner Bill Schulz and I worked together at Kux Manufacturing Company in Detroit, Michigan. In the early 1950s, Kux Manufacturing Company, founded by Richard Kux, became the largest manufacturer of decals and identification markings for cars and trucks in the country. Kux was set up for high volume production of fleet graphics, and worked mostly with national brands. Our goal was to provide this same level of high quality graphic products and service to local businesses. Kux was very helpful and supportive of our venture and continued to outsource work to us as our business grew.” Dennis continues, “Graphic Communications made the transition from manual tooling processes to digital graphics. We rely on the latest software, computerized cutting machines, large format printing, and mostly our talented staff of graphic designers and production artists, to serve our clients with professional graphic art solutions.” Selling the Business As he was exploring his options for selling the business, Dennis ended up meeting with Minuteman Press Regional VP Rich DeRosa, who explained the benefits of Minuteman Press International’s conversion program that connects sellers like Dennis with buyers like Nathan and Jane Kogan. Dennis shares, “When I met Rich DeRosa, my business was already listed for sale with a broker. As soon as the broker contract expired, I called Rich and we set up a meeting. Rich not only had a very good understanding of my business, he had a potential buyer in mind that he had been working with. Rich explained the straightforward process and I also learned a lot from the Minuteman Press website. “I think it’s great working with an organization that is interested in success for the buyer and the seller. Knowing that the new owner of Graphic Communications will be equipped with the knowledge and support from Minuteman Press to continue to serve our clients is a big relief for me. I am confident that the business and employees will be in good hands.” -Dennis Wrobleski, Selling Owner, Graphic Communications Buying the Business From his perspective as a new business owner, Nathan Kogan found the right fit in buying a well-established business while also being supported by Minuteman Press as a franchisee. Nathan shares, “We chose to buy an established business because it gave us comfort and a feeling of stability to come into something that is already a proven model, but would also have tons of upside for growth. We chose Minuteman Press due to its incredible reviews and a support system for the owners.” Nathan continues, “Working with Minuteman Press International was extremely easy and comforting. Rich DeRosa was extremely supportive and helpful throughout this whole process. And patient, especially with me. The training and support is extremely important; it's definitely one of the main reasons we were drawn to this particular franchise.” “I look forward to building on the legacy that Dennis created with Graphic Communications for 43 years while also beginning this new chapter with Minuteman Press, Shelby Township.” -Nathan Kogan, New Owner, Minuteman Press, Shelby Township, MI Transition & Advice for Others With the transition of the business from Graphic Communications to Minuteman Press, Shelby Township already in motion, Nathan shares the following advice for aspiring business owners: “I would highly recommend following your passion and dreams. But before jumping in, do your due diligence and be sure you are ready for all that is to come.” As this chapter closes for Dennis, he reflects, “It wasn’t easy starting a business with few resources besides time and determination. In many ways, it’s even harder to make an exit. I’m thankful for everyone I met through this business. I’m blessed that I was able to use my talent as a graphic artist to serve so many great people and businesses in the Metropolitan Detroit area. I know the business is being left in great hands with Nathan and Jane Kogan and Minuteman Press.” Dennis also offers the following parting advice for business owners looking to secure a sale of their printing businesses: “Call Minuteman Press. Also, having all bookkeeping and financial reports up to date helps for a smooth transition.” Minuteman Press, Shelby Township (formerly Graphic Communications) is located at 50671 Wing Drive, Shelby Township, MI 48315.
