Antitrust Regulations: FiscalNote (NYSE: NOTE) Shows Business Owners How To Stay Ahead Of Impending Law Changes

Benzinga

By Jad Malaeb, Benzinga In today's rapidly evolving business landscape, staying informed about regulatory changes is crucial for organizations. FiscalNote (NYSE: NOTE), a leading market intelligence platform, offers comprehensive solutions that keep business owners up to date on all regulations that could impact their operations. Rachel Kirkland, an expert in antitrust laws and their effect on the economic environment, has written about the subject on the FiscalNote blog. In her article, Kirkland delves into the basics of antitrust regulations and their potential impact on organizations, emphasizing the importance of remaining knowledgeable about these laws and how they evolve. Antitrust laws aim to safeguard the free market, promote consumer benefits and prevent larger companies from abusing their power to eliminate competition from smaller entities. The foundation of antitrust policy lies in four milestone acts, three of which have existed for over a century. The Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890 prohibits monopolies and establishes free competition. The Clayton Antitrust Act of 1914 defines unethical business practices, while the Federal Trade Commission Act of 1914 established the Federal Trade Commission as a key enforcer of antitrust policy. The Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 requires all parties to report large transactions to government bodies for review. While the pressure on big tech companies to avoid anti-competitive practices has grown, the adoption of new antitrust legislation remains uncertain. Keith N. Hylton, a professor of law at Boston University, highlights the challenges in writing industry-specific antitrust laws without affecting other sectors. Several proposed bills aimed at regulating Big Tech, such as the American Innovation and Choice Online Act and the Open App Markets Act, have not yet reached a full vote due to differing opinions and lobbying efforts. The enforcement of antitrust laws has evolved with policy shifts and changes in recent times. Economic stress and the impact of the pandemic have prompted policymakers to reconsider the enforcement of antitrust regulations to enhance the resilience of the American economy. The Biden administration has taken a more aggressive approach, issuing an executive order to address abuses of power and involving multiple government agencies in regulatory roles beyond the DOJ and FTC. Government affairs professionals must understand antitrust policies and compliance, as the current administration emphasizes competition in every industry to improve Americans' lives. Antitrust goes beyond mergers, acquisitions and price points; it also encompasses issues such as fair wages and avoiding policies that disproportionately affect marginalized communities when competition is stifled. Compliance with antitrust laws is crucial, and organizations should invest in training their employees to ensure they understand acceptable corporate practices. Staying informed about the ever-changing landscape of antitrust regulations is essential for organizations. FiscalNote provides a comprehensive solution that automatically alerts government affairs professionals to any changes in existing or upcoming policies and regulations. This platform connects professionals with the right stakeholders to protect their organization's interests and ensure compliance. Antitrust regulations continue to be a significant concern in government bodies, as recent developments such as Nvidia's soaring earnings and concerns about monopolization in the computer microchip industry have highlighted. Navigating the complexities of antitrust laws requires businesses to remain proactive and informed. FiscalNote offers a reliable resource to help organizations stay up to date with evolving regulations and ensure compliance. Click here to learn more.

THE ASSOCIATION OF PICKLEBALL PLAYERS PARTNERS WITH KITTCH TO CREATE THE BEST CULINARY EXPERIENCE IN SPORTS

APP

The Association of Pickleball Players (APP) is excited to announce a groundbreaking partnership with Kittch, the leading culinary platform, combining the worlds of sport and gastronomy like never before. The collaboration aims to ensure that pickleball, the only sport with a "kitchen," offers the finest food experience in the sports world. The APP / Kittch partnership was launched on Memorial Day, 2023, live on Good Morning America, ABC’s iconic morning show. On the show, Kittch Founder and chef Elana Karp and fellow chef Chad Rosenthal were joined by APP pro players Parris Todd, Alix Truong, and Hunter and Yates Johnson live on air to try examples of the range of the food offerings Kittch will serve at the APP events, and help GMA host Michael Strahan enjoy playing pickleball for the first time. The key aspects of this innovative partnership will be the rebranding of the APP’s kitchen area – the seven-foot, non-volley zone in front of the net – to become "The Kittch'n" and the creation of the Kittch’n Court, a unique food festival atmosphere at key tournaments that showcases the best local and national culinary talent. This dynamic new space will be backed by influential culinary sponsors and brings together food enthusiasts, professional chefs, and athletes in a unique and engaging environment. “We are thrilled to join forces with Kittch to bring together two such complementary and rapidly growing worlds - sport and gastronomy," said Tom Webb, Chief Marketing Officer of the APP. "The Kittch'n will elevate the culinary experience at APP events, providing fans with unforgettable memories and an enhanced appreciation for the sport." Brian Bedol, CEO of Kittch, added, "Many of the world’s greatest sports events are synonymous with iconic food and drink - from the Kentucky Derby and the Mint Julep, to strawberries and cream at Wimbledon - and now Kittch and the APP are bringing this to pickleball. Our partnership with the APP is a game-changer for our platform. We're excited to create a unique, food-centric experience for pickleball players and fans, while showcasing the best local and national culinary talent at APP events." The APP recently unveiled its latest round of pickleball participation research which shows that nearly 50 million Americans 18+ have played the sport in the last 12 months, a 35% increase since August 2022, with an average age of 35. That research also shows that pickleball players are very conscious of their food and drink choices, with 72% preferring organic foods, 62% more likely to eat out than at home, and 69% wanting to try new restaurants and bars, further reinforcing the value of the partnership between Kittch and the APP. The Kittch activation will be unveiled at APP Tour events later this year. For more information about the partnership and the upcoming APP tour schedule, visit TheAPP.Global.

Breaking News: WriteMyEssays And WriteMyPapers Merge. Learn More Here!

Halvorson Media Group

Recently, WriteMyEssays And WriteMyPapers signed a merger agreement. Find out what to expect from the changes, whether they will affect customers, and what new features are planned to be introduced. New York, May 28, 2021 — A few days ago, an academic writing company WriteMyEssays announced the acquisition of WriteMyPapers. This decision has been discussed for several months, and finally, there was official confirmation of the merger. Due to the inability to compete with other academic services, the WriteMyPapers brand decided to leave the market. In the past few months, the site has seen a surge in orders, and the staff has been unable to keep up with the influx. The departure of the company would have suffered great losses and the loss of valuable personnel. Thus, the decision to merge was the only correct one in this situation. The management bodies have already checked and approved the terms and conditions of the upcoming merger. What to Expect from The Merger? A merger is a complex business solution that takes time to set up internal processes. Of course, the company's management is going to consolidate high-quality academic writing in the industry and enter the international market. However, no one excludes the occurrence of difficulties, but first things first. At the moment, key stakeholders of both companies discussed several business benefits which can be expected in the near term. They are obvious, but are of great benefit to the company: Increasing the staff of the company. The staff of WriteMyPapers was more than 300 people. All writers pass under the control of the new owner. Thus, it means that the service will be able to process more orders and get more urgent assignments. Increasing the audience. Those customers who previously applied to WriteMyPapers are likely to start ordering essays and other assignments from a new company. Many students have been working with the same authors for several years, and they will be able to continue doing this under a new brand. Increasing monthly turnover. The more orders, the more income. This is a simple yet complex business rule. If the quality of the work performed remains at the same high level or becomes higher, the company will be able to increase income by 2-3 times. Moreover, this is a very significant indicator in the college writing industry. In the long term, the company expects the following positive changes: Entering the international market. In connection with scaling, it is planned to introduce new working languages. The managing department has ideas for covering European countries, China, and India. This will expand the audience by 5-6 times in the long run. Building a multi-level support system. Due to the increase in the audience, support representatives will need to be divided into several categories depending on the purpose: support for resolving payment issues, support for placing orders, support for submitting changes to orders, etc. Development of services in narrow areas. In a rapidly evolving environment, it is necessary to follow education trends. That is a real challenge to find specialists in AI engineering or bioinformatics with academic writing or teaching skills. However, this must be taken into account in order to be at the top of the best services. What Do The Experts Say? “The decision to merge was nothing short of a bold one for us. We expect to see results in two months. However, despite the encouraging results in the future, we understand that at first, the team may experience difficulties. Talks about a merger started early this year and we've more or less solidified the base to weather this challenging but promising time.” Harry Evans, WriteMyEssays Vice President “Our department will be the most heavily loaded, especially at the very start. We have developed an order distribution system that should help us not only cope with the number of incoming orders but also understand our strengths and weaknesses to improve the process. The scaling steps will be introduced smoothly, and we know we can adjust to new circumstances.” Emma Walker, Order Distribution Manager “We are pleased with the new changes and are ready to scale and introduce new services. Thanks to long-term planning and quick reaction to possible strategic changes, our company is moving into a higher orbit. We can call ourselves a company providing educational assistance services.” Caleb Ellington, Senior Manager About WriteMyEssays WriteMyEssays is an academic writing company that has been on the market for over 15 years. The company operates in the field of educational services, namely in writing papers of various formats for high school, college, and university students. The emphasis on "academic" demonstrates high standards of performance. At the moment, the company provides assistance in the following areas: academic writing, proofreading & editing, and problem-solving. These three services fully cover the needs of a broad student audience. The team assists with handling assignments of different levels: High School, Undergraduate, Bachelor, Master, and Professional. The company works in various fields: Mathematics, Literature, Chemistry, Architecture, Pharmacology, Law, and more than 30 other areas of study. The support service has every opportunity to select a performer with the appropriate education and academic writing skills. The list of services includes not only writing essays, but also making presentations, creating graphs and tables, writing speeches, typing, rewriting, performing mathematical calculations, helping with writing dissertations, conducting chemical, historical, mathematical, and literary analyzes, and much more. WriteMyEssays is often the choice of students due to the loyal pricing policy. Thanks to successful management and logistics, prices for services are kept below average. It allows students with a limited budget to place orders on the site. The company also often provides discounts and loyalty programs. With over 7,000 finished assignments, WriteMyEssays is one of the leaders in the professional student assistance industry. Most likely, new changes will lead this service to new achievements and the introduction of new services that meet the passage of time. On a Final Note The goal of the WriteMyEssays company is to remain competitive, gradually expanding the list of services, introducing new payment methods, and taking other equally important steps to be on top. The field of academic education is entering challenging times. It may not yet be obvious, but companies like WriteMyEssays will take on an inflated amount of workload to save education as a basic social sphere from a great collapse Contact Details Halvorson Media Group Edward +1 877-422-8205 edward@halvorsonmediagroup.com Company Website https://halvorsonmediagroup.com/

Eleazar Kauderer Sponsors Basketball Dreams as the USA Best AAU Compete for Glory at World’s Biggest Streetball Quai 54 Championship in Paris

Basketball Dreams

Eleazar (Ele) Kauderer, CEO of Tiger Marketing and Branding Agency (“Tiger”), and Dalmorlie Williamson, Assistant Director of the Rising Stars Youth Organization (“Rising Stars”), together, are proud to announce Kauderer’s sponsorship of “Team USA Select”, an Amateur Athletic Union (“AAU”) traveling basketball all-star team drawn, in part, from Williamson’s Rising Stars. Kauderer’s sponsorship will help to fund Team USA Select’s pursuit of greatness at the iconic “Quai 54” streetball tournament under the shadow of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France, this summer. Quai 54, known globally as the world’s biggest streetball tournament championship event, will take place in early July. Every team competing at the event will be full of talented kids—from amateurs off the streets to current NBA stars—ready to leave everything on the court for global recognition in a direct-elimination process. The Team USA Select is an AAU traveling basketball team with roots in Ele Kauderer’s and Williamson’s efforts going back over a decade to found and sustain a NYC basketball program capable of stoking the hopes and dreams of talented kids from underserved neighborhoods. Kauderer commented on his sponsorship of the team in 2023: “These kids mean the world to me. Malie [Williamson] and I have been involved for long enough to see the longitudinal data—to see lives change and doorways open—and to see the results of that progress years later. I don’t think anything I have been involved with over the years has been such a source of pride and joy as this program has, and I am truly grateful to have the opportunity to make a fresh difference in 2023.” Kauderer continues, “In conjunction with my Not for Profit Organization Youth Empowerment & Success I’ve created a Go Fund Me Link for anyone who wants to be a part of making these boys Dreams come to reality as well as give global visibility to those who want to be a part of something so great! Because no matter what you make or what you do, if you don’t look to help those around you get better, stronger, more successful and achieve their dreams, you’ve not even made a blip in the time you’ve spent living your own life.” https://gofund.me/d0f6250d Ele Kauderer, a New York businessman, has been involved in international business, investment banking, marketing, branding, and public relations for nearly 25 years. He implemented television and radio marketing campaigns, production of commercials, national product launches, public relations for both private and public companies as well as political campaigns. A passionate supporter of youth and community causes, Ele has worked as a coach, mentor, and philanthropist, helping to drive opportunity pathways for underserved kids through multiple channels, including non-profit basketball programs leveraging the team sports model to bring kids and teens of all stripes together to compete in championship-level events. Dalmorlie Williamson has over 15 years of experience in youth basketball. During that time, he has worked as a high school basketball coach, an assistant director and coach for the D1 Stars AAU program, and a leader in the Rising Stars Youth organization. “Malie is on a mission in life to remove false ceilings for serious talent—to see driven young athletes leverage their God-given skills and their sense of determination to open up opportunities like a top-tier college education or a path into the pro sports marketplace,” added Kauderer. “Not only does he have a gift for spotting the genuine article—next-level talent—but he knows what it takes to translate that kind of rare gift into a real opportunity in the Show. He has special insight into these kids, and a lot of people know it. But he also has a heart of gold. He’s a true inspiration, and I’m grateful to be involved.” (Sponsor Team USA Select at the QUAI 54 in France & help pave the way for our next generation of success https://gofund.me/d0f6250d ) Related links: www.EleazarKauderer.com www.quai54.com www.aauboysbasketball.org Contact Details Mark McKelvie +1 585-301-7700 markrmckelvie@gmail.com
