National Floors Direct Gives Us Tips on How to Increase the Lifespan of Your Flooring

July 2, 2021 (Global News Distribution) -

How do you maintain the natural beauty of your new flooring? Why is it important to do so?

National Floors Direct wants you to protect your investment—the average cost for replacing a quality hardwood floor can cost you thousands of dollars. You simply can’t afford to let your flooring lose value because of some oversights that can be fixed with some simple tips.

Maintaining the look of your flooring increases the beauty of your entire home, making guests feel more comfortable and at home. It also increases your resale value should you ever decide to sell your home.

Tips to Improve and Maintain the Quality of Your Flooring:

National Floors Direct goes over several things you can do to keep your flooring in the best shape. Whether you have wood flooring, laminate, or carpeting, following some essential care tips can save you a lot of money and heartache over the long run.

1. Keep your flooring away from moisture. Water spills, condensation due to humidity, and other conditions can endanger your flooring health. Use a moisture-detection instrument to see how much moisture may be building up.

2. Avoid salt buildup if you leave on or near the beach. The salt content can quickly erode all types of flooring, and it is also hard to clean from carpet fibers.

3. Vacuum up sand and other debris quickly, so it doesn’t have a chance to stick to carpets. Sweep sand off of wood floors to avoid the abrasive action it can create.

4. Choose good cleaning products that nurture the natural elements of your flooring while cleaning deep down to protect the appearance.

5. For wood floors, use a natural pH cleaner that is absent of harsh abrasives.

6. Use caution when moving furniture around. Scuffs and scratches can quickly occur when moving furniture over your wood or laminate flooring, and such movement can tear carpeting.

7. Strategically place rugs or mats over high traffic areas to avoid lasting damage due to too heavy regular traffic from kids and pets.

8. If you have flooring close to an open window, try to avoid direct sunlight. This can dull the surface of your hardwood floor, reducing the luster.

9. Recoat wood floors to keep them shining like new.

10. Get a professional to tend to your flooring to prevent damage and buy top-quality flooring, to begin with, that is resistant to aging and stains.

National Floors Direct is your go-to company when searching for solutions to maintaining and purchasing top-quality flooring. You can view National Floors Direct reviews online and see what you think, based on other users who have been happy with their outstanding services.
It only takes a moment to contact them to see how they can help. Visit the National Floors Direct website to see their work and see for yourself why people prefer them to keep their flooring beautiful.

  • The latest USD $1.2 million round will fund the expansion of zip24’s tech, product & operations teams in Tashkent, Dubai, and London.
  • zip24 seeks to become a leading e-commerce logistics technology enabler for our customers.

The current round of funding will be used to further expand tech, product, support, and sales/marketing teams, particularly at zip24’s main operating base in Tashkent, Uzbekistan.

zip24 plans to strengthen operations by deploying direct sales and support personnel in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE) & expand to the UK during the second half of 2021.

We are in the business of saving our customers’ revenues”, said Mr. Keshodia.

Lock & Key Financial Services Assisting Clients with Financial Freedom and Homeownership

June 30, 2021 (Global News Distribution) -

Close your eyes and imagine this scenario. You walk into a car dealership and you’ve picked out the perfect vehicle for you and your family. You complete the test drive and boy, does it drive smoothly! All you have to do now is run the numbers. After the dealership runs your credit and shops your score to 15 different banks (ouch), your interest rate comes out to be 17%! Your payment is more than you wanted to spend monthly and you leave the dealership heartbroken because: 1. Your credit was shopped to 15 banks and your score dropped drastically and 2. You didn’t drive off with the car you wanted so badly because your credit was less than perfect. Why was the interest rate so high? Can you believe this happened because you have bad credit? This happens more than you think. Not only does it happen with cars; it happens with mortgages as well. 34% of Americans have poor to fair credit scores. The team at Lock & Key Financial Services explains their process: “Our goal at Lock & Key Financial Services is to decrease that number, one client at a time. Our mission is to assist our clients with building their credit, equip them with the tools they need to maintain good credit, and help them unlock the door to their future! Our process is very simple. We speak to potential clients and identify the negative information affecting their credit. Once they’re enrolled in our program, we challenge any inaccurate and unverifiable information on their credit reports. We also construct a personalized action plan for each client and send them weekly credit education information and tips. We also work with individuals with student loan issues. We assist with consolidations, wage garnishment aid, loan forgiveness and much more!”

So how did Lock & Key Financial Services come about?

Akia Brown, the owner, went through some credit difficulties after a divorce. She reached out to a credit repair company in her hometown of Dallas, Texas, with hopes of becoming financially free of debt. She was disappointed after paying them so much money upfront, to not hearing back from the company after failed attempts. She was finally able to get on the phone with someone to cancel services. She then enrolled in a credit repair course and raised her score with the methods she learned. She was able to purchase a new home with her husband and she now helps others achieve the same goal! Lock & Key Financial Services was launched during the pandemic and has assisted many clients with becoming financially free with their credit repair services. Their clients have gone on to become homeowners and more financial literate when it comes to maintaining positive credit. Lock & Key Financial Services is accepting new clients. They have several packages to accommodate their clients’ needs!

Century Martial Arts Fights Inefficiency in Product Development with Centric PLM™

June 29, 2021 (Global News Distribution) -

Sporting goods company ups their digital transformation and innovation game

Century Martial Arts, the martial arts gear company, has selected Centric Software®’s Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solution for emerging brands, Centric SMB. Centric Software provides the most innovative enterprise solutions to plan, design, develop, source and sell products such as apparel, footwear, sporting goods, furniture, home décor, cosmetics, food & beverage and luxury to achieve strategic and operational digital transformation goals.

Century Martial Arts was founded in 1976 by Mike Dillard, a two-time National Karate champion. Headquartered in Oklahoma City, USA, the company has since grown to be the worldwide leader in designing and manufacturing equipment for martial arts like uniforms, belts, pads, headgear and punching bags, with over 11,000 SKUs.

Century’s Vice President of Product Development, Kris Horner says the speed at which the market is moving provided the impetus to accelerate product development. “We found the systems we had in place that worked twenty years ago when our company was much smaller, don’t work today. It’s difficult to push information back and forth from one department to another; that’s where we were lacking.”

Horner talks about the industry. “Martial arts is a traditional business that tends to evolve rather slowly but Century has always been a very innovative company in this space. We developed the freestanding bag category—punching bags on bases that can be moved around and don’t have to be hung up.” He continues, “We’ve created a product that’s probably more famous than the Century name itself, called BOB®—a mannequin that you put on top of one of these freestanding bases and you punch it. It is important for Century to continue with its heritage to continue to develop new products.”

Century chose Centric due to their leadership position in the industry. “We really wanted to leverage Centric’s experience in their 400 implementations. We were looking for something that would improve our processes out-of-the-box, not just covert our existing processes to digital,” says Horner. “The software itself is very intuitive and the user interface is really clean and straight-forward. Those are the things that really appealed to us about it.”

The strong increase of their e-commerce channel also motivated Century to move more quickly toward digital transformation with PLM. “Giving our team the ability to communicate in a more efficient way— a place where all the data related to products resides in the same place—we believe will accelerate our product development process and keep us more competitive in the markets that we work in,” says Horner. Quality of the products is also important. “Not a lot of companies sell products that people are going to kick, punch and hit for years on end!”

With the project kick-off under their belt, Century is looking forward to the future. Chris Groves, President and CEO of Centric Software says, “We are delighted to be partnering with Century Martial Arts on their digital transformation journey. It is always a pleasure to work with world leaders in their field and we are looking forward to a mutually beneficial relationship in the years to come.”

Century Martial Arts (http://www.centurymartialarts.com)

Century was founded in 1976 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma by one man working out of his garage. We’ve since grown into the worldwide leader in martial arts equipment. Along the way, Century has been responsible for some major innovations within the industry. We were one of the first martial arts companies to create a website, allowing our customers to easily place orders and access digital resources.

Century has also designed some of the best known and most iconic pieces of martial arts gear, like the Wavemaster®, the original freestanding training bag, and the BOB® body opponent bag. BOB® bags frequently pop up in TV shows and movies, including ‘The Office,’ ‘Deadpool,’ ‘Parks and Rec,’ and ‘Elementary,’ to name just a few!

One of the reasons why Century is so passionate about what we do is that many of our employees are themselves, martial artists. Our founder, Mike Dillard, won two Karate National Championships during his time as a competitor. No matter your martial art, whether you’re a black belt instructor, a first-time student, or a fitness enthusiast looking for equipment to put in your home gym, Century has what you need. We have over 11,000 unique SKUs – you can find products from kettlebells to kendo armour!

HashCash to Provide Complete ICO Solution to UAE-Based Enterprise

June 28, 2021 (Global News Distribution) -

An ICO solution by HashCash pivoting around designing a utility coin that would be backed by the proceeds from expanding a ‘FOOD and Beverage’ enterprise.

Initial Coin Offering (ICO) has grown to be a convenient, hence, preferred mode of fund-raising given the surge in price and popularity of cryptocurrency. However, there is the business logic to be engineered into the infrastructure prior to the launch. This requires substantial expertise in the blockchain and crypto space.

Global blockchain development company, HashCash Consultants is to support a reputed UAE-based ‘Food and Beverage’ company by providing complete ICO solutions. The fund from the ICO would be used to expand the already established business by affording cheap acquisition of previously flourishing food companies, failing under the pandemic situation. This attempt should revive the failing businesses and reinstate the employees.

The utility coin, so formed, would be backed by the value of the expanding enterprise. The coins would be offered in various schemes so as to meet the religion-centric needs of Middle-Eastern investors.

The marketing team on this project, headed by CEO, Raj Chowdhury, is already running meticulous market research, the results of which should translate into a white paper.

Founder and CEO, Chowdhury, remarks, “HashCash has carved a niche for itself early on and is now a popular name in the blockchain and crypto space. This project, with its unique set of challenges, will enhance our portfolio further.”

Recently, HashCash has partnered with an Egypt-based fintech to provide the crypto solution behind a domestic fund transfer project. HashCash has made significant progress in the CBDC development and NFT spaces.

“Crypto is evolving at an inscrutable pace. A wide range of industries have benefitted from the technology, and new innovations are striking us every day. This venture is a product of similar brainstorming and we look forward to partner more of such projects,” adds Chowdhury.

As an organization that advocates the utilization of blockchain technology and concepts such as tokenization, projects such as this make for benchmark in progress.

  • About HashCash:

HashCash is a global software company. HashCash Blockchain products enable enterprises to move assets and settle payments across borders in real-time for Remittances, Trade Finance, Payment Processing, and more. HashCash runs a US-based digital asset exchange, PayBito & digital asset payment processor, BillBitcoins.

Pharmacy Opens with Help of Small Business Boost

June 28, 2021 (Global News Distribution) -

BankPlus and FHLB Dallas Partner on Loan for Northtown Pharmacy

It’s only been a few weeks since Dr. Andrew Clark opened the doors of Northtown Pharmacy, and he already feels at home and optimistic about the business’s future at the corner of Old Canton Road and Northtown Drive in Jackson, Mississippi.

A new pharmacy has opened in Jackson, MS, thanks to a Small Business Boost (SBB) loan from BankPlus and FHLB Dallas. Tweet this

The independent pharmacy opened June 1 with a loan from BankPlus that was combined with a $100,000 Small Business Boost (SBB) loan from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas (FHLB Dallas) and BankPlus that provided gap funding.

SBB is offered by FHLB Dallas through member financial institutions like BankPlus to provide financing for qualified small business transactions by filling the gap between the loan amount that an FHLB Dallas member institution can fund and the loan request made by an eligible small business. SBB loans are unsecured and subordinate to the primary loan made by the member financial institution.

“The Small Business Boost loan allowed me to free up capital to stock and staff the pharmacy so that all my capital wasn’t tied up in the purchase of the building,” Dr. Clark said.

Mark Ouellette, first vice president and director of Affordable Housing at BankPlus, said the bank is a long-time advocate of the FHLB Dallas loan program, which provides “gap” funding for startups and existing businesses that have a great business plan but who might not have enough equity to qualify for a more traditional bank loan.

“Startups like Northtown Pharmacy may have a stellar business plan but may lack equity to fund both the brick-and-mortar and the first-year operational costs, which can be daunting for small business owners,” said Mr. Ouellette. “The Small Business Boost allowed Dr. Clark to purchase a great building while maintaining a capital cushion for first-year operations.”

Another advantage of SBB is that the borrower does not begin to repay the loan until after the first year. This feature is designed to help a small business build critical cash flow during the first year of the loan.

Of BankPlus’s 28 SBB loans since the program was launched in 2019, 15 were startups.

Greg Hettrick, first vice president and director of Community Investment for FHLB Dallas, said access to capital is key for the success of small businesses.

“Access to capital for small businesses can be difficult to obtain,” he said. “We created the SBB program to help our member financial institutions fill the gap between what they can lend a small business and what that business needs to be successful. BankPlus has seen the value of this program and has taken the ball and run with it.”

Northtown Pharmacy is owned and operated by Dr. Clark who has already hired his first employee, a graduate intern on her way to becoming a full-time pharmacist. It expects to eventually have as many as five employees, he said.

The pharmacy is in a neighborhood that Dr. Clark calls home.

“I live in the community that the pharmacy serves, and my kids go to the schools in the community,” he said. “Being able to say we live here, go to school here and have an interest in what is going on in the community makes a difference. It shows you care.”

About BankPlus

Founded in 1909, BankPlus is one of the Southeast’s premier regional banks serving consumers and businesses with the latest technology through a full suite of financial services, including retail banking, commercial banking, mortgage lending and wealth management. With approximately $5 billion in total assets, BankPlus operates 79 financial centers throughout Mississippi, Alabama and Louisiana. For more information about BankPlus, visit bankplus.net.

About the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas

Known for providing a comprehensive solution for the crypto exchange market, a crypto exchange aggregator Swapzone relaunches its referral program to shift the paradigm of cryptocurrency exchange, and help businesses and crypto enthusiasts profit by rewarding them with cryptocurrencies for introducing the aggregator to the digital world.

To enable the community to monetize their efforts, Swapzone’s program offers two referral solutions: a referral link and a semi-customizable widget, with the latter, also requiring a link to monitor statistics. To gamify the initiative and fuel the community, Swapzone (https://swapzone.io) designed 5 levels of incentives based on the monthly exchange volume, willing to pay a larger share to those that refer and swap the most. The only limitation the Swapzone crypto exchange aggregator sets is the minimum requirement for each withdrawal, which is 0,01 BTC.

“Developing a unique one-stop solution for the crypto exchange sector is one thing but building a strong network architecture is another level. Seeking to foster closer ties with crypto aficionados and various entities, we want to not only share our profits but also encourage the community to share them with others as well. We look forward to mutually beneficial collaborations and an opportunity to get to know our community and their needs better so that we could together address the challenges the crypto space faces today,” said the team.

Crafted to cultivate partnerships and bring benefits to the community around the world, the revamped referral program might also become a cornerstone of Swapzone’s marketing framework and open new doors for the project, with companies and bloggers jumping aboard.
