PetaRush Partners With Demi-Human NFT to Launch the First Cross-IPs Breeding Blockchain Game

METASENS

TAIPEI, TAIWAN - Media OutReach - 7 October 2022 - The multi-IPs blockchain game PetaRush today announced its collaboration with Blue-Chip NFT project Demi-Human NFT. The collaboration between the two projects significantly expands the possibilities of the Web3 multi-IPs gaming ecosystem. In October, Demi-Holim NFT holders will be able to trade into a gaming-specific Demi-Holim Peta NFT for free on the Web3 gaming platform METASENS and experience the joy of racing with other IPs’ characters in the game. Demi-Holim NFT becomes 3D and runs in PetaRush gameplay PetaRush is an animal racing game with cross-IP breeding and cross-chain empowerment functions. It features a visual cyberpunk style and players are immersed in a sci-fi setting where they compete against their opponents on Mars. It is funded by Hong Kong-listed Imperium Technology Group. PetaRush has developed the world's first game character NFT with its own BGM. It completed two closed beta tests and became an overnight sensation across Southeast Asia. By collaborating with Demi-Human NFT, PetaRush is now realising the future of blockchain game breeding across multiple IPs. Demi-Holim NFT becomes 3D and runs in PetaRush gameplay During the game, players do not have to determine the running direction, but only strategically use the skills to reduce physical consumption, increase running speed, and disrupt the opponents and to win the championship. Players can improve the value of the Petas, the game characters, through “Skill Development" and “Character Development” functions to increase the advantages in the competition. If the player wins the race, he or she can get PT coupons equivalent to USDT as a reward and enjoy the Win to Earn Web3 game. Demi-Human NFT is one of the very few Blue-Chip NFT projects in Asia, and the most active NFT community in Taiwan. Its online and offline community activities often attract hundreds of members to participate in. The Demi-Human NFT community has successfully attracted members from various backgrounds. At the time of the first sale, 10,000 NFTs were quickly sold out, and the price on OpenSea once increased more than 6 times. The way Demi-Human NFT runs its community is what many NFT projects have as a model. The two projects join forces to create a model of “cross-chain empowerment" and "cross-IPs breeding" For this collaboration, PetaRush provided the specifications for modelling Demi-Holim NFT. Subsequently, the Demi-Holim NFT team designers created the NFT figure with 10 models of 5 monkeys, 2 cats, 2 lions, and 1 dog according to the specifications. Each shape contains 6 parts that can be combined with each other. This created 3,344 randomly generated 3D versions of Demi-Holim NFTs for the game. Players who hold Demi-Holim NFT can get certified on the Web3 game platform METASENS, and claim a gaming NFT issued on the Binance chain for free, without freezing the rights and interests of the original NFT on Ethereum, and complete the transfer from Ethereum with "Cross-Chain Empowerment". The producer of PetaRush gameplay, Rhine Tan, stated, "The ideal of blockchain games is to have different IPs interact within the same framework. We have already achieved this goal. Next stage, we will realise cross-IPs breeding so that blockchain games can have more imagination and possibilities." Gene Huang, Co-founder of Demi-Human NFT, stated, “Demi-Human NFT's IP has been collaborating with various brands to expand the Demiverse ecology. This is very epochal to create a new example of blockchain games with PetaRush. We look forward to the future cross-breeding function. Let’s see how the two IPs can breed and what can be born.” Chen Yourong, vice president of METASENS, stated, “We are honoured to contribute to this collaboration, and look forward to more game IPs or game publishers joining the PetaRush ecosystem, racing on Mars with more NFT projects in the future.” PetaRush has now opened a worldwide demo test. Even players without NFT can try the game for free. The game allows players to create a room and race with friends, earn rewards via airdrop, and receive various benefits given out by the gaming organiser.

TOP 15 Best Essay Writing Services Reviews #1. 99Papers 99Papers is one of the most popular writing services and for good reason. This option is extremely affordable but still offers a high quality of essays. All of their essays are top-rated, and they have employees available to work on your essays 24/7. To put it simply, with their service you can get your essay back fast and you will manage to get a great result on it. How does it work? Perhaps one of the easiest writing services one can use, with 99Papers you are immediately taken to a page that provides you with a price estimate based on the following categories: Essay Type – this can include academic essays, personal statements, admission essays, term papers, and many more; Academic Level – Everything from High School to Ph.D. level included; Deadline for Paper – This can range from as little as 3 hours to more than 15 days; Length – Pages and Words. Based on the choices you make in those sections you will get a price estimate. You can also make the following options which can affect the price you are paying. Writer level: Standard, top writer, and native writer are available; Additional services: Plagiarism reports, copy of sources, summary and priority support. Finally, you can apply any discount codes you might have to bring down the price. Then you will need to proceed to your paper details. This is where you will get to include all of the specifics of your paper before placing the order. As soon as you have finalized the details you can then proceed with making the payment for your paper. The timer for the delivery of your essay is going to begin as soon as you have completed the payment. Prices In terms of pricing, the price can range widely based on what services you have selected and the level of the paper and writer you have chosen. The most basic essay, which is a high school essay with a 15-day delivery will cost around $9.95 per 275 words or 1 page. This price is quite low, and it is not one many companies can compete with. From there the price goes up with every increase in the level of the paper, writer, extras, or decrease in the time you make. To put it simply, this is a highly adaptable pricing scheme that will ensure you will only pay for what you are using. Discounts 99Papers offers some discounts to users. Around the back-to-school period, they tend to offer some 15% off options, as well as the chance to win a free essay. This can help lower the price of this service overall. #2. PaperHelp PaperHelp is known for having a relatively better quality of writing than many other writing services. What has helped them grow a lot is their referral program which allows students and others to share their services to get a discount. Most often the grades of those who use PaperHelp tend to range from B- to A which can be good. For good results, it is also important that all of the requirements are communicated as the writers may not always be familiar with the topic on hand. How does it work? PaperHelp has an easy format that allows you to choose the type of writing you need. It offers academic writing, editing, and proofreading, as well as Calculations. This means that it can be used by those studying or working on any range of topics. From there you can actually select the number of words needed and the type of paper. More importantly, you can actually choose the exact time of the deadline. This means that you will never be late in submitting your own papers with PaperHelp. Prices The prices for an Academic paper start from $12. This is not only a low price but one that many students can afford to pay, especially for a paper that will normally get a high grade. This is a highly competitive price that becomes even better when one considers that they offer a number of discounts. Discounts For first orders, there is a 15% discount available usually. What’s more, when you refer others to the service you can get up to 10% off. This is another great way of saving money while getting your work done. #3. EssayBox EssayBox is one of the priciest writing services available, but that price often comes with an extremely quick turnaround. However, the quick pricing is not justifiable when one looks at the quality of the essays as many of the essays tend to be average. This means that it can’t compete with some of the top writing quality services that exist in terms of writing quality, but it can certainly beat them in how quickly they can deliver. How does it work? EssayBox works in pretty much the same way that every other writing service does. In fact, their opening page is pretty much the same as the page for 99Papers, only with one big difference, the pricing. The pricing tends to be quite a bit higher and can become even more costly based on the type of essay, the level of education, and the timeframe for delivery. Each page added will also add to the cost. In terms of the actual order page, it is exactly the same as the one 99 papers offer with the same extras available for priority support, a native speaker, a top writer, a plagiarism report, a copy of sources, a 1-page summary, and other options. Their extras are also priced similarly to the extras on 99 Papers which means you would not be spending much more on these, even though the price per page of each document is higher. Prices The lowest prices offered by EssayBox are for high school papers and they are around $12 currently. However, it should be noted that they have previously had the price for this type of service as high as $20. This is much higher than the price offered by some of its competitors as it is almost double the price. Discounts In terms of discounts, they offer a 15% back-to-school bonus that you can take advantage of. While this can definitely be helpful, it is similar to the discounts offered by other services and thus, does not help separate this service from other writing services available. #4. EssayPro EssayPro is a highly trusted writing service with excellent customer support that can help you get good essays in a quick timeframe. They offer several different writing services that include personal statements, dissertations, research, term papers, and several other options. They also offer several options for essays and even homework assistance depending on your needs. What helps set them apart is all of the extra steps that they take to ensure the quality of the writers that they are hiring. For every writer that they hire they verify their ID and diploma. They then proceed to request writing samples to see whether the writer would be a good fit for their company. Following the samples, they always send each potential writer test assignments to see whether they would be able to keep up with the workload required. Finally, they have a trial period during which they continuously monitor the writer’s performance. All of this allows them to ensure the highest quality of papers. How does it work? The first step to ordering is actually filling out their order form. This form will include information on the length of the essay you are looking for, the topic, and the level of the paper you need. You can also provide samples of your previous work in order for their writer to mimic your writing style. This will make your essay appear more like it is your own work. Once you have supplied them with as much information as possible you will then be called to decide on which writer you would like to receive help from. This will include you checking out their profile, seeing their area of expertise, and even chatting with them about your topic. All of this ensures you have the right fit. Finally, you place an order and pay a deposit. You are not required to pay the full price for the paper until the paper has been delivered. Revisions are also included in the price of the paper you are paying for. Prices Their lowest price is for 1 page of school-level writing, and it starts at $10.8. From there the price will increase based on the level of writing you need and the length of your paper. The delivery timeframe will also affect the cost. Discounts They don’t have any discounts noted on their website, but you might be able to find some by searching online. #5. Studdit Studdit is an affordable writing service that offers a money-back guarantee as well as a plagiarism-free guarantee. This makes it one of the safest options in terms of writing services that you can choose from. In general, they have a relatively easy process for those who want to place an order, which includes a simple calculator and a quick form for placing the order. They also provide an extensive FAQ with information about all of their different types of services. Studdit is not only a writing service, but rather it is focused on providing help with every type of academic work that a student might need assistance with including homework. This makes it slightly different than other services which are targeted only towards writing levels for high school students and beyond. How does it work? Studdit starts with a simple form that allows you to choose the length of your paper, the deadline you need, and the level of your education. From there you are given a price and the option to proceed. On the next page, you are called to describe your paper in detail. The level of details you want to provide is up to you, however naturally the less information you provide the less likely you will be to receive a good quality written paper from them. Much like with certain other writing services this is also the moment you can choose the level of writer you would like. Advanced writers and top writers are charged extra. Finally, there are also a few other extras to consider one of which is a Turnitin report. If you are worried about plagiarism, then this report can give you great peace of mind as Turnitin is the most commonly used plagiarism reporting tool by academics. Prices In terms of pricing, the lowest offers start from $13, much like with other services based on the choices you make on the form this pricing is likely to increase. You are also allowed to increase the price by selecting extras that include the level of service you want to receive. For better quality service you can include the VIP service at $14.99. Discounts Studdit often offers a few different promotions. Their standard one is 15% off of someone’s first offer but depending on the period you might find even larger discounts available. #6. SpeedyPaper SpeedyPaper is an online academic writing essay that allows a wide number of different writing services. These writing services extend far beyond writing, as you can also choose to have someone edit, rewrite, problem-solve, mark or even just proofread your essays and homework. The company works by hiring several different expert writers who are supposed to have a high level of expertise and can deliver quickly, even if the deadline is coming up shortly. How does it work? To place an order with SpeedyPaper, the first thing you need to do is to actually fill out their order form. This includes your subject, length of the essay, paper formal, and any other material you think is relevant to your order. This can also include some of your other original papers for the writers to get a better idea of your writing style. Once you have made all of your selections through the order form you can proceed with the payment for your order. Prices The lowest price available on SpeedyPaper is $11, this price changes based on the type of services you are going to be including in your paper. It also includes free revisions which are fulfilled by their round-the-clock support. Discounts SpeedyPaper actually has an entire discounts page on their website which you can use to find discounts applicable to you. These usually include: First-time order – 11% off; Referral offer – You get 10% off for every friend you invite that joins. Your friend also benefits from 10% off; Labor Day offer – 15% off; Youth Day offer – 12% off; Independence Day – 15% off. #7. EssayFactory EssayFactory is a writing service that specializes in the UK market. This means that if you need an essay that is written in excellent British English, then it might be one of your best options. Their service is often noted to have very prompt delivery, and it appears to be a reliable service that provides excellent essays to all those who purchase. They also provide editing services to those who don’t want to have a custom-written essay. How does it work? The first step in the essay factory process is filling out the form. This form is similar to the one that other websites like 99Papers use, with one simple difference. All of the academic levels have been adaptable and changed to better represent the UK school system. This means that you can choose A1/A2 for A-level courses or a university level. Prices In terms of prices, they can start as low as £ 11.50 but can increase in price tremendously based on the time frame of delivery and the level of writing you need. They also don’t offer as many different extras that can elevate the price of the service you will be receiving. Discounts EssayFactory has several different discount codes that are always available on their website. These include a 25% off discount code, and an offer where you can get your 5 th assignment for free if you have paid for it. Or that you can book 6 assignments within seven days to get the seventh assignment for free. They also offer several 10% and 15% percent deals that you can take advantage of to lower the price you will need to pay for your essay. #8. 1Essay 1Essay is a relatively good and affordable essay writing service, however, where it suffers is in providing consistent results to its users. While they can always supply a custom essay in time their services are not always rated in the best possible way. This is also in part because they don’t offer as many options both in terms of a delivery timeframe as well as in terms of the type of academic work that they take on. The combination of these two factors can often mean that many might not be able to find the type of service that they need through 1Essay. How does it work? To use the 1Essay platform, you will need to first get a price estimate based on the type of paper you need. This means filling out the order form with the information relating to both the level of education this paper will relate to, as well as the timeframe for delivery. The fastest delivery that 1Essay offers is 24 hours, so if you are in too much of a hurry this service will not be able to assist you with the work you need. Prices In terms of pricing, the prices start at $9, which is lower than the price offered by 99 Papers. This makes it one of the most affordable services. However, that low price can quickly be elevated if the paper you need is anything above a high school-level paper. They also offer several extras that can also cause your paper’s price to increase. Discounts 1Essay does not offer a comprehensive list of discount codes in the way that other similar websites do. This means you will need to try and see if any coupon codes exist online at the time of placing your order. #9. IQEssays IQ Essay is a relatively affordable academic writing service that is focused on providing good quality essays. They claim that what helps set them apart is that they ensure that all of the essays they deliver have flawless quality. They also claim that all of the work they provide and all of their client’s information is completely confidential. They provide a confidentiality guarantee for their services. How does it work? Using their service is quite simple as all you need to do is fill out their order form with information about your assignment. From there they are going to assign your task to a writer who will be responsible for delivering the work on time. You are also going to be able to directly contact that writer whenever you need to ensure that the paper ends up being as you envisioned. Prices Their prices range from $10 per page to $58 per page depending on the level of education you require and the timeframe for delivery. The fastest delivery of a college-level paper is 3 hours, while everything from undergraduate degrees to Ph.D. requires a one-day delivery at least. Discounts IQEssays offers a 5% discount code on the first order. This is a much smaller discount than the one offered by most academic writing services. #10. PaperCoach PaperCoach is an extremely popular service that has been used for over 32,000 orders. This large number of orders is also an exhibit of the highly experienced writers that they have on board. According to their website, they currently employ more than 1300 writers and their satisfaction results are 98%. More importantly, through their website, they offer a wide range of different types of academic writing. These include: Essay (any type); Dissertation; Research paper; Application letter; Case study; Book review; Term paper; Problem-solving; Coursework; Personal statement. How does it work? PaperCoach has a relatively simple process for placing orders. The first thing you need to do is fill out their form with all of the details of what you would like your order to be on. Then you can select your payment type and even place an order. It is as simple as that. Within the delivery timeframe you have specified, you should expect to get a paper that is not only flawless but also 100% plagiarism-free according to PaperCoach. Prices Their prices truly have a large range going from $7.99 for a High School paper in 14 days, to $66 for an admissions essay in 6 hours. They are also able to offer their services with delivery as quick as 6 hours. This includes Ph.D. work and academic papers. Other costs include the inclusion of a pro writer for 25% more or a top writer which comes with a 45% added cost to your order. Discounts Currently, PaperCoach doesn’t appear to offer any discounts, but that might change in time which is why it is always best to check. Still, even without a discount, their prices are some of the most affordable on the market. #11. Ivory Research Ivory Research is a UK writing service that has been in action since 2005. During that time, they have been helping students with everything from short essays, to dissertation work to exam preparations. As they claim, they are focused on helping students reach all of their academic goals. They offer 24/7 support for all of their services and can guarantee that the work provided will be plagiarism free. How does it work? In contrast to how many other services work, in this particular writing service you first need to decide what type of essay you would like to receive. From there you will be taken to a page that will allow you to choose the word count, delivery grade, and more importantly the grade you want to achieve. This page is targeting UK students, so all of the grading requirements are going to be based on the British educational system. Prices The prices can widely vary for this service as it depends on the type of grade you want to achieve. For example, a 1000-word essay that will get a 2:1 will cost around £132. There are often discounts included that can help lower this price. Discounts A few promos run on the website at different times. There are no set discount codes. #12. WiseEssays Wise Essays is an easy-to-use affordable writing service for students. Their service is similar to the service offered by 99Papers and other top writing services in that it all works through requesting the topic and essay length you need. Their platform is fairly easy to navigate, and their competitive pricing often helps set them apart. How does it work? To get an essay through wise essays the first step you will need to take is to fill out the form. One of the unique aspects of this is that you can actually request a specific writer. This is extremely useful if you had previously collaborated with one of their writers and know that you can work well with them. Once you have confirmed all the details of your assignment you can proceed to the payment page and place your order. Prices The prices for this service start from $9.11 but depending on the level of writing, timeline, and word count you will get different prices. More importantly, different writers might require different amounts for their work. Discounts There are currently no discounts available on their website. #13.

An essay is a specialized piece of writing that relates to any particular topic. Normally essays are shorter in length than books but can still provide insight into the topic at hand. They are commonly used in academic settings, but they can also be used outside of them. More importantly, though, most essays will need to have some specific goals that they meet. These relate to the content, format, and argumentation used in essays. Normal essays, whether academic or not, will often present some factual evidence for what is being written. This evidence can be limited, and in the cases of argumentative essays, or critical analysis essays they might entirely relate to the experience of the writer. Outside of presenting some evidence on the subject that the essay is dealing with though, it is also incredibly important for an essay writer to present their own point of view. The extent to which they can do that will depend on the type of essay they are writing. There are four types of essays: discursive, persuasive, narrative, and descriptive. In academic essays, the title of the essay will give you information on which type of essay you should attempt to write to be successful and graded well. How long should an essay be? The length of an essay will greatly vary based on the purpose of the essay. If you are in an academic setting oftentimes the length of the essay will entirely be decided for you. What that means is that your professor will set forth an assignment for an essay that is 500 words long or 1000 words long. In those cases, you should always try to abide by the length that your professor or teacher has set forth. This is particularly important because in many cases, longer essays will get penalized as they don’t fit the criteria set forth. If you have to write an essay, but the length of the essay has not previously been defined by someone else, then you shouldn’t focus too much on deciding the length of the essay ahead of time, so long as your essay does have the following three things. An introduction that covers your topic, gives the reader an idea of what you will be presenting and your perspective or opinion on the topic. A body of text that is at least two to three paragraphs long and explains every point made in the introduction with evidence, as well as your own perspective or opinion. A conclusion that summarizes the text and the main key points and conclusions you reached through your analysis and argumentation. How to write a good essay? Writing a good essay can be easy if you know what to focus on. To make this a little bit easier for you, we are going to break down what a good essay requires step by step. Title The title is often forgotten, however when it comes to successful essay writing, having a valid title or topic that presents the key question or idea of what you are trying to achieve can be key. Your title will also give your ideas about which the type of essay you are looking to write. For example: “Analyze the causes of World War One and their effects.” Is an essay topic that will require a lot of presenting of facts, but your opinion on these facts will not necessarily need to be presented extensively. On the other hand, the following topic: “Evaluate the causes of World War One and their effects,” Requires you to extensively look at the topics and present them in order of importance based on your opinion. The second essay topic will thus require a lot more argumentation. This is why having the right essay topic title is the key to knowing the type of essay you should try to write. Introduction Your Introduction should give the reader your entire essay at a glance. Start with a sentence that captures the attention and imagination of the reader. Then continue by presenting in a few sentences a small part of the context for your essay. From there add a short line presenting each of the topics you will cover in your essay. Finally, end your introductory paragraph with a statement showing the position you will take and the point you will try to convince the reader of by the end of the essay. Body of text Your body of text will be made up of many paragraphs. You should have one section for each of the points you said you would raise in your introduction. Each section can have several paragraphs depending on your topic. When building your paragraphs, you will need to focus on: Your opening line – this presents the main idea of the paragraph; Your idea – the point you are presenting in a theoretical way; Your facts and data – this is the evidence that supports the point you are making; Your argument; Your conclusion to the paragraph – this should link you to the next section or paragraph. Conclusion Finally, your conclusion needs to show an overview of everything you presented in your essay as well as the argument you reached. Your conclusion along with your introduction needs to be perfectly written and present your entire essay. Just by reading your Introduction and conclusion, someone should be able to know exactly what your essay is about. If you are struggling with writing your essay, then you can also try hiring essay writing services from the top 15 best essay writing services presented above. This can help you guarantee the quality of your final essay. How long is a 1000-word essay? A 1000-word essay is a very standard size of essay in the academic world. Normally it is around four pages long with Times New Roman size 12pt and double spacing. These are all standard formatting requirements for essay writing, so when you are writing your essay you will know that around the fourth page is when you will hit 1000 words. In terms of length, 1000 words are considered to be a rather short piece of writing, with most academic assignments usually being much larger. This is because in 1000 words it is hard to analyze topics extensively. In fact, for essays of 1000 words, you can get away with only having two points of analysis and you should never try to fit more than 3 points in a 1000-word essay. If you are trying to decide how many paragraphs your 1000-word essay should have then, a good amount is between 5-10 paragraphs. This of course will depend on the length of each of your paragraphs. For example, your introduction should be around 200 words and your conclusion should similarly be around 150 words. This leaves you with about 650 words for the body of your text. This means that 5 paragraphs of approximately 100 words will help you reach your word limit. How many paragraphs are in an essay? The number of paragraphs in an essay will widely range depending on the size of the essay you are writing. A good rule of thumb is to remember that your introduction will take up between 100-200 words. If you can manage to keep every single paragraph within that realm, then you should be able to know the approximate number of paragraphs for your essay. In shorter essays, like a 500-word essay, for example, your introduction might be only 50-80 words. This would like you around 400 words for the conclusion and body. Assuming the conclusion is around 80 words, then each of your paragraphs should not be much longer than 100 words. This means that overall, you would have about 5 paragraphs in your entire essay. A much longer essay might require a more complex introduction that covers a lot of the theoretical framework necessary for the understanding of the essay. If that is the case, you might find that the introduction is an entire section, rather than a single paragraph. For example, in a 1000-word essay, your introduction might be around 500 words and depending on your subject this could be completely normal and acceptable. This once again goes to show that the number of paragraphs in an essay will vary based on not only the length of the essay but also the subject. What is the popular essay writing styles (formats)? Outside of writing your essay you most likely will also have to deal with citations. Citations and references can often feel complicated at first but will become much simpler once you start understanding what different formats exist and when they are used. Essentially a citation style is a way in which you will present the credit to the person, book, document, or source you took the information from for your essay. This gives you the right to talk about their work without claiming it as your own. If you are in an academic setting, then the citation style you will need to use may be predetermined by your professors or university. Some citation styles are more commonly used in certain subjects. The three most common citation styles are: APA (American Psychological Association) is often used in the following subjects, Education, Psychology, and Sciences; MLA (Modern Language Association) often used in the Humanities; Chicago/Turabian style often used in the following subjects, Business, History, and the Fine Arts. How to write an essay fast? If you are in a time crunch and you are trying to write an essay fast, then the first thing you will need to do is quickly skim-read a few sources. While looking at these sources you should copy and paste and make notes on any important section that you want to use for your essay. You should also write the citation for the book or document you are using right next to the facts you are writing; this will help you create your bibliography faster. From there you should look at the information you have gathered and make an outline of the two or three key points you want to make; you should also categorize the sources and information you have in each one of these sections. Once you have a clear idea of your points and arguments you can start writing. To write fast you should try to complete your entire draft without making any corrections. Then go back and edit your essay accordingly, this will allow you to progress with your essay much faster. If you can’t complete your essay on time, you can also hire a good essay writing service to complete the essay for you in a swift time frame. These professional writers often have extensive experience that allows them to complete essays much faster than other people can. How to write a "why nyu" essay? If you are trying to write a “why nyu ”essay the first thing that you need to understand is that this essay prompt is not asking you why you are choosing to study in New York, but rather what has drawn you to the specific program and area that you want to study and why you think NYU is the best college for you to study your chosen topic. To write this essay therefore you will need to look at which aspects of the NYU mentality, curriculum, and teaching style matches you. For example, if the NYU program you are considering is very team-based and hands-on, and you know that you will thrive in that type of program, while you would stagnate in a theory-based program then you should talk about that. You should also mention which parts of the curriculum seem like a particularly good fit and how you think you think the academic environment and NYU community will help you reach your full potential. What is the best essay writing service overall? 99Papers is the best essay writing service overall. The reason for this is that they manage to combine quality with affordable prices. This is something many other services are not able to do as they are either more expensive or they offer writing services that are of the worst quality. Another reason why 99Papers is the best is the ease of use of the website. They offer one of the easiest platforms for placing orders which can be especially important in a time crunch.

This means that no matter what topic you require from them they will be able to deliver incredibly well-written work within the time frame requested.

This can be extremely important if you don’t want to end up with an essay that doesn’t reflect your writing style. Therefore, for highly customized essays the best option is PaperHelp. What is the cheapest essay writing company? EssayPro is the most affordable essay writing company when one looks at all of its services. Their cheapest service which is editing starts at $6.75. This price is tough to beat as many other editing services will cost closer to $9-10 dollars. More importantly, though, they are the only service that their prices don’t get completely inflated when it comes to postgraduate and Ph.D. level work. Their High School and College level articles are similarly priced at $13.5 per page and $14.25 respectively, while both their master’s and Ph.D. work cost exactly $19.25 per page. This is much cheaper than the $25+ requested for Ph.D. work by other writing services. What is the best UK essay writing service? EssayFactory is the Best UK essay writing service. This is because their work is entirely focused on the UK. As a result, they separate essay types and levels using the grading for the British system. While this might not appear important at first glance it is crucial as each grade level is marked differently in the British system. By only working with British students, they have adapted their services so that they can work best with the UK mark scheme. Knowing how the mark scheme for the country or institution you are writing an essay for works can be essential as it allows you to customize your essay more deeply and ensure that you are meeting all of the requirements set forth. This is something that EssayFactory understands and does to an incredible extent for UK students. Are essay writing services legit and safe? If you are worried about the legitimacy of writing services, then you might want to look into which writing services you are choosing.

OLB Group (NASDAQ: OLB) and Cuentas (NASDAQ: CUEN) Team Up to Bring Fintech Solutions to Over 32,000 Bodegas Across the United States

Benzinga

The average American consumer might not think much of their access to financial services. But for consumers that are underbanked or unbanked, the very high costs of relying on alternative financial solutions, such as payday loans, check cashing services, money orders, and pawnshop loans can be astronomical and create a vicious cycle of financial pain that many will likely never escape from. According to a report conducted by the U.S. Federal Reserve, an eye-opening 22% of American adults were found to be underbanked or unbanked. This means 63 million Americans either have no bank accounts whatsoever, or may have some sort of account with a banking institution, yet are still heavily reliant on alternative financial services. While the report found evidence of underbanked and unbanked consumers across all income levels, the overwhelming majority of these consumers were in the lower income bracket. These consumers were also identified as having less education or being racial or ethnic minorities, according to the Fed report. However, there is some good news for unbanked and underbanked consumers. The rise of financial technology, or fintech, has vastly expanded digital financial services that can help bridge the gap and allow these consumers to ditch payday loans and other predatory financial products. According to Allied Market Research, the global fintech market was valued at $110.57 billion in 2020 and is forecast to reach $698.48 billion by 2030. This represents a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20.3% between now and 2030. The OLB Group (NASDAQ: OLB) and Cuentas (NASDAQ: CUEN) are two fintech companies that just recently announced a strategic partnership to help expand quality fintech services to the underbanked and unbanked communities. Breaking Down the Strengths & Key Assets of OLB Group and Cuentas That Will Be Leveraged in Their Partnership Utilizing their respective strengths and focuses within the vast world of fintech, OLB and Cuentas serve as a solid complement to each other’s business plans. OLB’s omnichannel payment processing platform, combined with Cuentas’s expertise in digital financial services and established relationships with major financial firms, provides a unique opportunity to help millions of American consumers gain access to fintech solutions that may not be readily available to them otherwise. OLB Group: OLB is an integrated financial technology and payment processing service provider that primarily serves small-to-mid-sized merchants in the United States. The fintech company’s Omnisoft platform provides cloud-based commerce solutions, which can be used for transactions that occur online, in-store, or on a mobile device. OLB’s Omnisoft platform is an established solution that maintains over 10,500 active merchants across all 50 states. In 2021, those merchants completed over 28.5 million transactions with a total gross value of around $1.36 billion. Outside of its Omnisoft platform, OLB's Evance subsidiary ( https://evanceprocessing.com/ ) will play a major role in the partnership with Cuentas. Evance is a payment processing solution that allows merchants to accept payments from tablet-based point-of-sale systems, mobile payments from services like Apple Pay, and more. In total, OLB maintains a robust portfolio of subsidiaries that cover payment gateway solutions, equity crowdfunding, short-term loans, cryptocurrency payment solutions, and more. Cuentas: Cuentas provides digital finance and e-commerce solutions primarily to the underbanked and unbanked Hispanic, Latino, and immigrant populations. The company’s offerings include prepaid debit cards, ACH & mobile deposits, cash remittance services, peer-to-peer money transfers, and more. The Cuentas General Purpose Reloadable (GPR) card features a digital wallet integration, as well as discounts and rewards for making purchases at major brick-and-mortar stores and online retailers. Furthermore, Cuentas is an official partner with VanillaDirect Load, which allows Cuentas customers to reload their GPR cards at a network of over 50,000 retailers across the U.S., such as Walgreens, CVS, Walmart, 7-Eleven, and more. Using the Cuentas App, consumers can obtain access to discounted Western Union (NYSE: WU) money transfer services, discounted gift cards to retailers & gaming subscriptions (Xbox, PlayStation, etc.), reward points from purchases and international long-distance calls, and more. In June 2022, Cuentas completed the acquisition of a 19.99% stake in Cuentas SDI, LLC, the owner of SDI Black011 assets. SDI is a leading provider in the prepaid portal and digital financial services space, which maintains a robust nationwide retail distribution network of over 32,000 bodegas and convenience stores across the United States. In 2021, SDI produced revenues exceeding $8.2 million from its vast retailer network. OLB & Cuentas: The Partnership Structure On August 22, 2022, OLB and Cuentas officially entered into a software licensing and transaction sharing agreement, where both fintech companies will establish a merchant services relationship to reach bodegas and convenience stores throughout the United States. Under the agreement, OLB will sell or rent their point-of-sale devices to merchants within Cuentas’s SDI network of 32,000 bodegas. Cuentas will look to incorporate and leverage its reloadable debit card solution on OLB’s POS platform. Cuentas will be tasked with marketing the OLB-branded products platform as a white-label app for payment processing and debit cards. OLB will look to develop Cuentas’s mobile application and associated products as an Application Programming Interface (API). This means Cuentas will have access to databases and services to allow its app users to register, obtain approval and complete the onboarding process to gain access to the Cuentas GPR, mobile app, and mobile wallet. "We're thrilled to finally say that Cuentas has achieved, under contract, the ability to diversify its products under Cuentas.com which serves the current Mobile App, available in Android and IOS. Cuentas.net will serve the mobile payments segment. Cuentas Mobile will serve the mobility customers that will be able to enable their cell phone services under the Cuentas family of products to become their financial services provider," stated Arik Maimon, Cuentas Co-Founder and Interim CEO. OLB and Cuentas have agreed on a 50/50 profit-sharing split on all net revenues generated from its partnership. On the OLB side, net revenues will be generated from the sale or rental of POS devices to Cuentas SDI merchants, services, and products from Cuentas’s white label platform, GPR reload fees, and more. Cuentas’s shared net revenues will come from reload purchases made through the OLB POS devices across its SDI network, retail digital products sold through an OLB POS device, mobile activities, and more. The partnership is believed to be potentially lucrative for both companies. OLB estimates the partnership will generate an annual revenue run-rate between $8 million and $10 million once the joint services officially launch sometime in December 2022 and into Q1 2023. Ronny Yakov, CEO of OLB Group, said, "We at OLB Group see the opportunity to expand our merchant services base in a market that we currently don't have a footprint in, and also provide existing products and services to those bodegas and convenience stores as an additional stream for revenues besides the 10,500 merchants that we currently service.” OLB Already Having a Record-Revenue Producing Year Thus Far Into 2022 OLB has seen tremendous growth in topline and bottom-line financial results through the first six months of 2022. Through the end of June 2022, OLB generated total revenues of $17,158,849 with an EBITDA of $602,643 and an adjusted EBITDA (adjusted for stock compensation) of $745,169. Compared to the results for the same period in 2021, total revenues surged 239.11% y/y, EBITDA jumped 145.17% y/y and adjusted EBITDA results showed year-over-year growth of 163.11%. Here is the full breakdown of OLB’s financial results for both six-month periods: Aside from topline and bottom-line results, OLB has no corporate debt, holds a cash position of $3.6 million, and reports strong insider ownership of 32%, as of the end of Q2 2022. In addition, 98% of OLB's revenue is generated from its profitable e-commerce businesses, which management estimates will continue to grow over the coming quarters. The first half of 2022 financial results gives OLB an annualized revenue run rate of $36 million, compared to only $9.6 million ARR for 2021. That represents a massive growth of 275% in ARR for 2022 compared to 2021. In the end, OLB management estimates total revenue from 2022 to come in a range between $36 million and $38 million. Considering the expected annual revenue run rate enhancement of $8 million-$10 million from the Cuentas partnership, coupled with the company’s expectation of $35 Million in revenue in 2022 (vs. 2021 revenue of $16.71 million), OLB's year-over-year revenue comparisons could be significant—attracting more investor interest. Overall, the OLB and Cuentas partnership is a major opportunity for both companies. The vast bodega footprint across the United States represents a prime opportunity for the partnership to upgrade these local merchants into formidable financial centers for unbanked and underbanked consumers. Furthermore, the current framework being developed by OLB and Cuentas is highly scalable and can be deployed into other markets to serve unbanked and underbanked communities around the world.

3 Stocks to Play the Growth in Cloud-Based Services

Benzinga

The concept of cloud computing has been around for over a decade. However, the industry has rapidly evolved since its origins, which can be traced back to the 1963 DARPA initiative (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency). Cloud computing, as we know it today, is a delivery medium that can provide services, such as data storage, analytics, networking, software solutions, and more, over the internet. Before the rise of the cloud, companies were held to the old hardware approach, which would require a hefty investment in new computing technologies to achieve scale and the desired outputs. Cloud computing offers a more streamlined approach, which allows customers to only pay for the services that they need, with the option to upgrade as the client’s needs change. This allows companies to lower their operating costs, streamline their infrastructure and achieve scale when it is needed. The COVID pandemic has only accelerated the growth of cloud-based solutions, as society witnessed the rise of the work-from-home phenomenon and the continued demand from consumers for e-commerce capabilities. According to Fortune Business Insights, the global cloud computing market was valued at $405.65 billion in 2021. The industry is projected to grow to $480.04 billion in 2022 and surge to a massive $1.71 trillion by the end of 2029. This represents an enticing compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.9% for the period between 2022 and 2029. With the growth of cloud computing still seemingly in the early stages, here are three companies that stand to benefit from the underlying industry growth: Asure Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: ASUR) Asure Software is an Austin, Texas-based company that offers cloud-based human capital management solutions across the United States. Serving small and medium-sized businesses across many different industries, Asure’s suite of services gives companies complete control of every aspect of human capital management, from payroll & taxes to HR decision making, employee attendance, and even 401(k) & benefits integrations. In August 2022, Asure made two big announcements regarding the expansion of its 401(k) and HR services. First, Asure announced an agreement to integrate its FlexTax payroll tax filing engine with PrismHR’s payroll system, which is currently used by over 80,000 organizations. This also gives PrismHR users access to Asure’s Payroll Tax Management Services. In short, the integration with PrismHR vastly expanded Asure’s payroll & tax services business. In a separate announcement, Asure announced further integration of its payroll systems to directly connect with over 80 401(k) providers. The traditional route for employers to offer and manage sponsored 401(k) plans is extremely work-intensive and has been a major hurdle for smaller businesses to offer employer-sponsored plans to their workers. Asure’s direct integration with 401(k) providers removes that barrier by streamlining retirement plan options for companies that may otherwise not have the resources to offer such benefits. As workers continue to expect greater benefits and retirement planning options, Asure’s integration gives small businesses an edge in being able to compete for top talent. Turning to fundamental analysis, Asure looks appealing in its current state. The company trades at nearly a 25% discount to its book value, as seen with a price-to-book value of 0.76. Asure Software is a serious cash flow generator, which can be determined with a price-to-free-cash-flow ratio of 11.07. Furthermore, the company has very minimal debt and continues to hold a cumulative analyst rating of “strong buy.” Snowflake, Inc. (NYSE: SNOW) Snowflake offers cloud-based data analytics solutions through its platform. The company's Data Cloud offering allows customers to consolidate their data into a single source to help streamline business decision-making. The Data Cloud allows companies to collaborate data on a local and global scale. Rather than having several different programs or applications to manage various cloud functions, Snowflake wants to help cut through the clutter to integrate all areas of the cloud into a single platform. On August 24, 2022, Snowflake released fiscal second-quarter 2023 earnings, which showed impressive growth amid the current economic uncertainty. Product revenue surged 83% y/y to $466 million and achieved non-GAAP product gross margins greater than 75%. In addition, Snowflake added 12 new Global 2000 customers during the fiscal Q2 2023 period. On a guidance basis, Snowflake's management estimates third-quarter product revenue to come in between $500 million and $505 million, which would represent a year-over-year growth range between 60% and 62%. The strong quarterly results prompted analysts covering Snowflake to increase their bullishness on the company. Needham analyst, Mike Cios, initiated coverage of Snowflake with a "buy" rating. The strong recovery in customer growth during fiscal Q2 helped alleviate any concerns from fiscal Q1 regarding the potential for a growth slowdown as the economy weakens. In the note, Mr. Cios said “data is the new oil,” which means Snowflake could be on the way to continued growth over the coming years. On a fundamental analysis basis, Snowflake is very well capitalized. The company has no debt and cash per share of $12.38, giving the data analytics company a very solid current ratio of 3.20. Unfortunately, the company does appear to be trading at a lofty premium when looking at its price-to-sales of 33.90, price-to-free-cash-flow of 170.36, and a forward price-to-earnings ratio of 405. CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: CRWD) CrowdStrike is focused on cybersecurity cloud-based solutions. In a world that is increasingly becoming more digitally connected, the need for proper security has become a major point of emphasis. The company offers a wide range of cybersecurity services, which include Zero Trust identity protection, log management, threat intelligence, IT operations management, and more. Like traditional computing, the cloud can be vulnerable to hackers and criminals who seek to steal sensitive information. CrowdStrike's Cloud Security solutions provide continuous management and breach protection for any cloud in the industry's one and only Cloud Native Application Protection Platform. The platform is powered by holistic intelligence and end-to-end protection, which gives managers greater visibility and capability to act against digital threats. During the second quarter of the fiscal year 2023, CrowdStrike reported total revenue growth of 58% y/y to $535.2 million. The cybersecurity company reported a record net new ARR of $218 million, which represents year-over-year growth of 45%. Ending ARR grew to an impressive $2.14 billion, an increase of 59% y/y. This demonstrated not only CrowdStrike's ability to retain customers but to also continue to add new clients as well. The company added 1,700 new customers during the quarter. Looking at the fundamentals, CrowdStrike trades at a considerable premium to several metrics, despite being down over 18% so far in 2022. The company's cash position is stable, but CrowdStrike does have a long-term debt-to-equity ratio of 0.60, which weighs on its current ratio of 1.80. The company does trade at a 69x multiple when looking at the price-to-free-cash-flow ratio. Price-to-sales is lofty at 21.40 and forward price-to-earnings comes in at a steep 89.49. However, the company is a growth stock and thus relies more on revenue growth than it does on some of the more value-focused metrics. Bottom line, as long as CrowdStrike can continue its dominant growth, investors will likely continue to maintain a long-term bullish stance on the company.

A Bitcoin casino is an online casino that uses Bitcoin (or other cryptocurrencies) as a payment method. These casinos offer all of the same games as traditional online casinos - slots, blackjack, roulette, etc. but they also offer some unique benefits that traditional casinos don't. For example, because Bitcoin is decentralized, there are no government restrictions on where it can be used. This means that players from all over the world can play at Bitcoin casinos, even if they're located in countries where online gambling is otherwise prohibited. Another benefit of Bitcoin casinos is that they offer increased anonymity for players. When you create an account at a traditional online casino, you're typically required to provide personal information like your name, address, and date of birth. However, when you create an account at a Bitcoin casino, all you need to provide is a username and password. This makes it much harder for someone to track your gambling activity and winnings. Finally, BTC casinos tend to have lower fees than traditional online casinos. This is because Bitcoin transactions are not subject to the same fees as credit card or bank transfers. Are Bitcoin Casinos Safe Just like with any other type of online casino, there are both safe and unsafe Bitcoin casinos out there. The best way to determine whether a casino is safe or not is to check its reputation. If you're thinking about signing up for an account at a particular casino, take some time to read reviews from other players first. You should also make sure that the casino is licensed by a reputable gambling authority. One thing to keep in mind is that because Bitcoin is still a relatively new technology, it's unclear how well it will hold up to scrutiny from governments and financial institutions in the long run. There have already been several instances of people losing their Bitcoins due to hackers taking over their accounts or due to errors made by the exchanges where they store their coins. So while Bitcoin casinos may be safe today, there's no guarantee that they'll be safe tomorrow. How to Find a Good Bitcoin Casino The first difficulty is knowing which criteria to use when evaluating a casino. When gambling with fiat currencies, there are well-established regulatory bodies that oversee the industry and provide guidance on what to look for in a reputable casino. However, the cryptocurrency industry is still largely unregulated. This means that there are no established standards for what makes a good crypto casino. As a result, players must rely on their own judgment when deciding which casinos to trust with their money. Another difficulty is that even if a player does find a casino that meets all of their criteria for being reputable, there is no guarantee that the casino will remain so. Unlike fiat currency casinos, which are typically required to obtain licenses in order to operate, crypto casinos do not currently have to meet any such requirements. This means that virtually anyone can set up a crypto casino with little to no overhead costs. While this might seem like a good thing at first glance, it also means that there is very little stopping a malicious operator from setting up a fake casino and then disappearing with peoples' money once they have collected enough deposits. What is Bitcoin Gambling Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency that can be used to make online payments. Unlike traditional fiat currencies like the US dollar or the Euro, Bitcoin is not regulated by any central bank or government. Instead, it relies on a peer-to-peer network of computers to process transactions. Bitcoin can be bought and sold on exchanges, and it can also be used to make purchases at merchants that accept it. One of the advantages of using Bitcoin is that it offers anonymity; when you make a transaction with Bitcoin, your personal information is not shared with the merchant. Is Gambling with Bitcoin Legal The legality of gambling with Bitcoin varies from country to country. In some countries, like the United Arab Emirates, online gambling is illegal regardless of whether or not you're using Bitcoin. In other countries, like Brazil, online gambling is perfectly legal as long as the casino is licensed by a reputable jurisdiction. If you're unsure about the laws in your country, we recommend checking with a lawyer or doing some research online before gambling with Bitcoin. Best crypto casinos are always licensed and regulated by a gaming authority. They have a 24/7 customer support, provably fair games, and a wide range of games from different providers. Best bitcoin gambling sites also offer generous bonuses and promotions. They have a responsible gambling policies and encourage players to stay within their betting limits. Benefits of Gambling with Bitcoin There are a few reasons why people might choose to gamble with Bitcoin over traditional fiat currencies. First, as we mentioned earlier, when you make a transaction with Bitcoin your personal information is not shared with the merchant. This offers an additional layer of security and privacy for casino players. Secondly, transactions made with Bitcoin are typically processed very quickly; in most cases, withdrawals will be completed within 24 hours. Finally, because Bitcoin is not regulated by any government or financial institution, there are no fees associated with making deposits or withdrawals at a Bitcoin casino. Bitcoin Casino Deposits & Withdrawals Bitcoin casino players have to wait for confirmations from the network before their transactions are processed. But how long does this take, and how does it compare to traditional banking methods? Let's take a look. Bitcoin casino players might be wondering how fast they can expect their transactions to be processed. After all, nobody likes to wait around for their money. The good news is that bitcoin transactions are usually pretty quick. The bad news is that there can be some delays, particularly when the network is busy. So let's take a look at what causes these delays, and how you can avoid them. When you make a transaction, it first has to be verified by the network before it can be processed. This verification process is known as 'mining' and it is done by computers all over the world who compete to verify the transaction. The computer that verifies the transaction first gets rewarded with a small amount of bitcoins. The speed of the transaction depends on how many computers are trying to verify it and how powerful those computers are. Transactions can sometimes be verified in just a few minutes, but at other times it might take hours or even days. This is one of the reasons why people sometimes say that bitcoin is slow. However, it's important to remember that bitcoin transactions are still much faster than traditional banking methods like wire transfers or credit card payments. So even though there might be a bit of a wait, it's nothing compared to what you would have to endure with other methods. Overall, bitcoin casino players can expect their transactions to be processed relatively quickly. There may be some delays depending on the network conditions, but these delays are usually only a few minutes or hours at most. When compared to traditional banking methods like wire transfers or credit card payments, bitcoin is still much faster. So even though there might be a bit of a wait, it's nothing compared to what you would have to endure with other methods. 4 Best Bitcoin Casino Slot Games Casino slot games are some of the most popular games played by casino goers.

Revenue Management Solutions Answers the Question: How Much Price Is Too Much?

Revenue Management Solutions

For restaurant operators facing record-high inflation this year, the question of pricing is a tricky one. Fortunately, new research by Revenue Management Solutions reveals how operators can find the sweet spot for pricing that works for both businesses and diners. In the face of inflationary costs, raising prices is the first line of defense for restaurant operators. These businesses face severe bottom-line pressure due to lingering COVID concerns, food costs, supply chain troubles and dire labor shortages. In response, quick service restaurant (QSR) prices have been steadily increasing, hitting a record 16.3% in August 2022. Consumers have taken the hit to date, but with wallet pressures looming, how much can QSR customers bear before breaking? That’s the question Revenue Management Solutions set out to answer on behalf of its clients —some of the world’s largest QSR brands. After analyzing in-store price increases by percentages year over year (Q2 2022 vs. Q2 2021) for 25,000 QSR locations in the US across numerous brands, RMS found that, yes, consumers have a breaking point. “When price increases were between 10%-13%, traffic started to severely decline, negating some or all of the net sales benefits,“ stated Revenue Management Solutions Director of Consulting Services Scott Foxworth. Chart 1 indicates the significant drops in traffic as prices hit the ceiling. When looking at average price increases across observed locations, RMS found that most locations were beneath the threshold, with increases between 9% and 10%. “Though the average price increases among observed brands fell below the threshold, the future is still uncertain,” said RMS Chief Operating Officer Mark Kuperman. “Some brands have an opportunity to increase margins with additional price increases, while others may have already hit the breaking point – even at a lower percentage increase.” To determine a brand’s unique price increase ceiling, Kuperman recommends a careful analysis, by location, of the following pricing levers: Customer type Location Price by Item Magnitude and timing of recent pricing rounds In a recent consumer survey, RMS found that the percentage of consumers trading down – ordering less expensive items or choosing less expensive restaurants – is rising. So too is trading out – of consumers that reported managing costs, 45% are ordering less often from restaurants. “Consumers are beginning to perceive restaurant prices as higher, and about 1 in 3 believe they are getting less value from restaurants,” said Kuperman. “Brands will win if they can add to the value equation with great service, abundant value options and creativity.” To download free sales, traffic and pricing trends from Revenue Management Solutions, go to revenuemanage.com/resources.
