News ReleaseComcast Business Technology Empowers California Small Business to Compete with Big Name Brands
Comcast California
Comcast Business today announced that it is providing Direct Appliance Flooring & Home (Direct Appliance) with Comcast Business Internet and Comcast Business Mobile. The combination of these solutions has enabled the expanding small business with the tools it needs to manage its operations more effectively, ultimately helping it to stand out from its competitors. Founded in 1995 as a family-owned store with a mission of, “something simple, but with quality that meets the needs of Modesto,” Direct Appliance has evolved significantly from its beginnings. Today, Direct Appliance has two showroom locations – one in Modesto and one recently opened location in Jamestown – and offers complete, functional rooms that serve as a valuable resource for local designers, builders and contractors. The showrooms allow customers to test working appliances set in lifelike kitchen environments. Despite Direct Appliance’s evolution over time, the essence of the company remained rooted in its original vision for quality and community, emphasizing personal service and hometown values. To help ensure continued quality service for its customers, Direct Appliance knew that in addition to scaling operations at its growing number of brick-and-mortar locations, it would need to expand its e-commerce presence to better compete with big box businesses, both in Modesto and across the state of California. Comcast Business offered the ideal mix of technology solutions for Direct Appliance’s operations, both online and in physical storefronts. “Comcast Business has been a game-changer for us, as its solutions are capable of supporting not only our online pricing and ordering systems, but also members of our staff who work in our showrooms and who travel across California delivering and installing our products,” said Kristofer Winter, president of Direct Appliance. “Thanks to the speed and reliability of our connection, and the flexibility of our mobile solutions, we’re able to focus on what we do best – creating quality experiences for our customers.” Comcast Business' technology solutions provide the connectivity that Direct Appliance staff needs on the ground to deliver quality customer experiences. The connection seamlessly supports the Direct Appliance team’s internet use at showroom locations – a critical operational component, since Direct Appliance’s tags for its products are digital and require reliable bandwidth to access and review. Additionally, Comcast Business Mobile gives Kristopher and his teams the flexibility to connect with each other and customers whenever they need. Simultaneously, the internet connection provides a framework to support Direct Appliance’s plan to put more emphasis on its digital retailing. The internet connection offers the bandwidth and speed needed for Direct Appliance to help keep its website and e-commerce platform up and running, as well as to help effectively manage customer orders and inquiries. “Small businesses are the beating hearts of their communities, helping to spur economic growth and diversity,” said Jacob Mitchell, vice president of sales and marketing for Comcast’s California Region. “Comcast Business’ technology solutions are a perfect match for businesses like Direct Appliance, as we can meet their immediate needs but also work with them to scale our support as they grow their operations.” About Comcast Business Comcast Business offers a broad suite of technology solutions to keep businesses of all sizes ready for what’s next.

News ReleaseHow DLP Capital Is Helping Address Housing Crisis Through Strategic Investments
Benzinga
By Austin DeNoce, Benzinga For most, the words “housing crisis” invoke feelings of uncertainty and concern, but it is a very real and long-standing challenge in the U.S. The Government Accountability Office reports that high interest rates and low inventory are contributing to this issue, and it can be particularly challenging for low-income Americans to find affordable housing. Yet, where there is a problem, innovative solutions arise. Enter DLP Capital, a potential game-changer in the housing market. The company is working on the dual objectives of providing affordable housing while offering potentially attractive opportunities for both communities and investors. DLP Capital's Dual Focus: Housing Affordability And Investment DLP Capital, established in 2006, has a history of active involvement in the real estate sector. With founder and CEO Don Wenner leading the company, DLP Capital has executed over 30,000 real estate transactions, translating to a total value of more than $10 billion. The company reports it has more than 25,000 homes and apartment units in its portfolio and $5 billion in assets under management and that it has positively impacted the lives of over 838,000 individuals. Empowering Communities Through Housing Solutions DLP Capital's initiatives aim to address societal challenges. One of their goals is to impact the lives of millions positively while striving to become the largest investor in rental housing. The company also operates according to specific core values including servant leadership, humble confidence, innovation and stewardship, and it believes in transforming lives through community building with safe, attainable housing as a primary mission. The DLP Housing Fund is an open-ended, private real estate fund focusing on making an impact on America’s affordable housing crisis. The goal of this fund is to offer tenants <30% rent-to-income ratios, and the strategy is to preserve attainable rental housing through investments in existing value-add communities. The primary focus is on secondary and tertiary markets in the Sun Belt. For investors, this fund offers monthly preferred returns with 10 to 12% targeted annual net returns and tax sheltering benefits. Other Investment Opportunities And Their Focus The DLP Building Communities Fund is another initiative by DLP Capital that seeks to address the workforce housing crisis in America. The fund’s objectives involve investing in the development and construction of new rental communities, thereby providing attainable housing for those making incomes near the AMI. From an investment standpoint, the fund focuses on debt and equity in Sun Belt markets with strong demand, aiming to provide limited volatility and targeted annual net returns between 11% and 13%. Meanwhile, the DLP Lending Fund serves professional real estate operators by furnishing the capital required for the development of affordable workforce housing. The fund’s data suggests offers of monthly distributions, liquidity and targeted annual net returns ranging from 9% to 10%. DLP Capital's Initiatives – Brief Case Studies DLP Capital's commitment to both community development and investor value becomes evident through specific case studies. DLP Wexford Village DLP Capital acquired the DLP Wexford Village in 2020 for $43 million. Comprising 340 units in 14 buildings, this vast residential complex offers housing ranging from one-bedroom to three-bedroom apartments. Under DLP’s ownership, the Wexford Village community experienced an evolution in resident engagement and support. The company says the staff's proactive approach during the COVID-19 pandemic was particularly noteworthy – they utilized daily video communications to stay connected with residents, expressing gratitude to healthcare workers with treats and helping residents navigate financial assistance programs to maintain housing security. The Boyd Theatre Project Situated in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, the Boyd Theatre stands as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Lehigh Valley. Recognizing its potential and its historical significance, DLP Capital, in collaboration with local developer Rocco Ayvazov, embarked on an ambitious project to rejuvenate this landmark. Their plans involve converting the former movie theater into a multifaceted six-story apartment building. This redevelopment aims to encompass commercial retail space, an underground parking facility and recreational areas such as a pool, fitness center and an exclusive outdoor theater for residents. Overseen by the architectural firm SITIO, the project's completion is anticipated by Q3 of 2024, potentially adding a significant boost to local development. Both case studies underscore DLP Capital's ability to synergize investment objectives with a tangible positive impact on communities, reflecting their overarching strategy in the housing landscape. Balancing Community Impact With Investment Goals As urban landscapes continue to evolve and economic dynamics shift, the challenges surrounding affordable housing will likely persist. Ultimately, housing is about more than structures; it's about building communities, fostering connections and ensuring that individuals have a secure place to call home. And in this intricate dance of community building and real estate development, DLP Capital is a proactive participant. As the housing challenges of our time continue to unfold, entities like DLP Capital could play a crucial role in bridging the gap between housing needs and investment aspirations, seeking to craft a future where both coexist in harmony.

News ReleaseTrust Stamp shares third-quarter financials including positive EBIDTA for the first time
T Stamp Inc
Trust Stamp chief financial officer Alex Valdes joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share some exciting news about the company's financial performance. The announcement pertained to Trust Stamp's financial results for the third quarter, which concluded on September 30, 2023. It was a turning point for the company, marking significant progress and growth. A key driver of this success has been Trust Stamp's Software as a Service (SaaS) product, known as the orchestration layer. Introduced in the third quarter of the previous year, this product has rapidly evolved into a central component of the company's strategic vision. Since its launch, it has attracted more than 38 new enterprise clients, underscoring its value and appeal in the industry. Additionally, revenue generated from the orchestration layer's flagship customer has seen an impressive growth rate of over 200%. Valdes also emphasized the pivotal role of cost reduction initiatives implemented by Trust Stamp in 2022. These initiatives played a crucial role in enhancing various performance metrics across the company. The positive outcomes of these efforts are evident throughout the company's financial reports. Notably, the direct costs associated with customer implementations decreased by a substantial 58%, even as Trust Stamp continued to onboard dozens of new customers. Operating costs also saw a significant reduction of 31%. This disciplined approach to cost management allowed Trust Stamp to achieve a significant milestone—the booking of positive Earnings Before Interest, Depreciation, Taxes, and Amortization (EBIDTA)—for the first time in the company's history.

Total Media
According to the on-chart data, Ripple (XRP), PancakeSwap (CAKE), and Everlodge (ELDG) are three cryptocurrencies that are showcasing a buy sign on the chart today. Each crypto is showcasing a solid level of momentum and is trading high into the green zone. But just what kind of returns can they provide? To find out, we will go over each one of them individually. Summary Ripple can rise in value to $1.26 by the end of 2023 PancakeSwap to increase in value to $3.04 by the end of Q4 Everlodge is projected to grow 30x at launch Ripple (XRP) to climb to $1.26 by the end of 2023 Ripple (XRP) also showcased a bullish performance on the daily chart. Specifically, the crypto increased by 12% in the last 24 hours. However, Ripple is also up 38.2% on the monthly chart, signifying positive market sentiment. During the past week, the XRP crypto traded between $0.568484 and $0.725864 in value. Currently, the Ripple market cap is at $38,811,782,186, making it the fifth largest crypto. Based on the current on-chart data, the Ripple price prediction places it at a value of $1.26 by the end of 2023. PancakeSwap to surge in value to $3.04 by the end of 2023 PancakeSwap (CAKE) is trading into the green zone after significantly increasing in value. During the past 14 days, the PancakeSwap crypto is up 104.6% in value. Moreover, during the past week, the crypto saw its low point at $1.22, with its high point at $2.43. In addition, the PancakeSwap market cap is at $549,279,108, making it the 82nd largest crypto. Based on this level of momentum, it's showcasing a buy signal. According to the PancakeSwap price prediction, it can surge to $3.04 by the end of 2023. Everlodge (ELDG) to feature a dedicated Launchpad But Ripple and PancakeSwap were not the only two cryptos to grab attention. Everlodge is an upcoming real estate marketplace that can enable anyone the opportunity to engage with the real estate market starting with a low cost, whilst also getting passive income. The upcoming marketplace will feature unique blockchain technology that can disrupt the industry completely. Each property will get digitized and then minted as an NFT. What this means is that instead of paying millions of dollars to own a property, investors can co-own it at just $100. This way, whenever the property is rented out, they can get capital passively. In addition, there is a dedicated Launchpad through which property builders can raise capital from the community. However, early investors in these projects can get massive ROI. ELDG is the native crypto that can be staked for passive income as well, but it can also be used for governance. Now, during Stage 6 of the presale, the token is offered at $0.023. At launch, analysts project that the cryptocurrency can climb in value by 30x upon its listing on Tier-1 CEXs. As a result, it also showcases a buy signal on the daily chart.
