Syria signed a contract Thursday with a group of companies from the United Arab Emirates to build a solar power station in a Damascus suburb, the government announced. It was the latest indication that the Arab world is willing to re-engage with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. Earlier this week, UAE’s Foreign Minister Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan met with Assad in Damascus, the first such visit since the Syrian conflict started a decade ago. Assad’s office said they discussed ways of developing cooperation and investment opportunities during the meeting Tuesday. Syrian government forc…

Here’s a look back at Week 9’s action, and fantasy advice for the week ahead: WEEK 9 RECAP Colts 45, Jets 30: With one of the easiest remaining schedules for running backs, Jonathan Taylor is my RB1 going forward. Browns 41, Bengals 16: Austin Hooper and David Njoku both played 35 snaps while running 13 and 11 routes respectively. Harrison Bryant ran seven routes and played 25 snaps. They all received two targets. This usage makes all three talented tight ends nothing more than touchdown-dependent fliers on a weekly basis.

‘South Side’ review: The Chicago-set comedy returns, after a delay, for Season 2, this time on HBO Max

Published by
Chicago Tribune

CHICAGO — Shot entirely in Chicago and featuring primarily a Chicago cast, the comedy series “South Side” first premiered in 2019 and was renewed shortly thereafter. But because filming on the second season was delayed by the pandemic, we’re only just now getting new episodes, more than two years after the first season aired. Comedy Central was home to Season 1 and the cable network has since pivoted away from scripted comedy, which is why the show is now on HBO Max. This move is probably a good one: “South Side” didn’t get the kind of traction it deserved initially and being part of HBO Max s…

In Norristown, tents are seen as a solution to homelessness. Many disagree

Published by
The Philadelphia Inquirer

PHILADELPHIA — When people facing homelessness in Norristown call Montgomery County officials for help, they’re told shelter is in short supply. So, they are issued tents. The idea enrages advocates in the municipality about six miles outside Philadelphia, who see this as an inadequate response to homelessness, which is increasing countywide. Business owners in town are also angered by the tents, but for a different reason: They dislike the optics, along with the sight of individuals experiencing homelessness using drugs, panhandling and sleeping in Main Street doorways. Merchants say it remin…

GWM Unveils World’s First G-Charge Supercharging Station

Post date November 11, 2021

BAODING, China, Nov. 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — On November 3, GWM unveiled the world’s first G-Charge Supercharging Station in Bangkok, Thailand. This is the latest achievement it has shown users in the development of new energy.

GWM Unveils Its First G-Charge Supercharging Station in Thailand

The G-Charge Supercharging Station, GWM’s first fast charging station with DC charging mode, has six connectors. These connectors are equipped with three DC charging units, each with two CCS Type 2 connectors. That means it works even if you and five other users need to charge at the same time.

In addition, the G-Charge Supercharging Station has sufficient space and energy. It has a maximum charging power of 160 kW and can provide users with 24-hour charging service.

It is worth mentioning that the charging station has a very user-friendly charging guidance function. With the GWM APP, users can quickly find the location of charging stations and book charging periods, pay for charging and use charging, etc. This not only saves the user’s time but also satisfies the user’s travel plan, which can be said to be a very intelligent experience.

It was revealed that users of ORA GOOD CAT may enjoy free charging services at the G-Charge Supercharging Station. It can charge the 400 TECH and 400 PRO models of ORA GOOD CAT from 30% to 80% in 32 minutes, and the 500 ULTRA model from 30% to 80% in 40 minutes.

According to official sources, on November 3, GWM and PEA ENCOM International Company Limited reached a cooperation agreement. It’s a company specializing in green energy development under the power company PEA in Thailand, and has built dozens of charging stations for electric vehicles. This time, it installed a solar system on the G-Charge Supercharging Station, making it one of the largest public fast charging stations for electric vehicles in Thailand.

In addition to the construction of charging infrastructure, GWM has made other breakthroughs in the development of new energy. Take Dayu battery technology as an example. With dozens of patents, it is a core technology that covers the suppression, isolation, cooling, and discharge of heat sources, etc., and can effectively prevent power batteries from exploding due to thermal runaway.

In August, Meng Xiangjun, Rotating President of GWM, said at the 2021 Overseas Distributors Online Conference that in the next five years, GWM will invest RMB 100 billion in R&D in the field of new energy and intelligence to create safer, greener and smarter products for global users.

DriveWealth Partners with Fintech Unicorn Chipper Cash to Bring First-Time Access to U.S. Equities in Uganda

DriveWealth technology democratizes U.S. investment opportunities for Ugandan population

JERSEY CITY, N.J., Nov. 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — DriveWealth, LLC, a pioneer in fractional investing and embedded finance, today announced a partnership with Chipper Cash, the fastest growing African fintech startup enabling peer-to-peer money transfers and cross-border payments for nearly four million users. DriveWealth’s real-time fractional trading technology and API-based brokerage infrastructure will enable the Ugandan population to gain affordable access to investing in U.S. equities for the first time.

Approximately 66% of Sub-Saharan Africa’s population did not have access to a bank account in 2020, according to the World Bank. While Africa’s large unbanked population has increasingly turned to technology to help create a more inclusive financial system, investing in the U.S. stock markets required high minimums and was only accessible for high networth individuals, leaving much of the Ugandan population without access. Through its partnership with DriveWealth, Chipper Cash is empowering everyday investors in Uganda with safe and affordable access to the U.S. stock market for the first time. Users will now be able to invest on a dollar equivalent basis (i.e. fractional shares) in over 6,000 U.S. securities and ETFs, allowing consumers to invest with no minimum requirements.

“Equipping underserved investors with the tools they need to break down the barriers to investing is a critical step towards democratizing investing worldwide,” said Bob Cortright, founder and CEO of DriveWealth. “What Chipper Cash has been able to accomplish in its few short years is helping Africans to access a range of financial services inexpensively from their phones. We’re thrilled to partner with Chipper Cash to help investors build long-term wealth by investing in U.S. stocks.”

“We are excited to add investing in U.S. equities to our platform to complement our initial offerings of peer-to-peer transactions and cross-border payments,” said Ham Serunjogi, CEO of Chipper Cash. “Thanks to our partnership with DriveWealth, the U.S. market is now easily accessible to all members of the Ugandan population. This will enable citizens to improve their financial well being and become owners of their financial futures.”

Following the rollout of this offering in Uganda, Chipper Cash plans to provide access to fractional trading in U.S. equities through its partnership with DriveWealth in Nigeria and South Africa.

DriveWealth, the pioneer of fractional equities trading and embedded investing, is a visionary technology company that empowers more than 100 partners around the world to engage their customers by placing the markets in the palm of their hand.

‫”درايف ويلث” تتعاون مع “فاينتك يونيكورن شيبر كاش” من أجل تحقيق الوصول لأول مرة إلى الأسهم الرأسمالية الأمريكية في أوغندا

تعمل تقنية درايف ويلث على إضفاء الطابع الديمقراطي على فرص الاستثمار الأمريكية لسكان أوغندا

مدينة جيرسي، نيوجيرسي، 11 نوفمبر 2021 /PRNewswire/ — أعلنت اليوم شركة درايف ويلث، ش.م.م (DriveWealth, LLC) -الشركة الرائدة في مجال الاستثمار المجزأ والتمويل المضمّن- عن شراكة مع شيبر كاش (Chipper Cash)، وهي الشركة الناشئة الأسرع نموًا في مجال التكنولوجيا المالية الأفريقية التي تتيح تحويل الأموال من نظير إلى نظير والمدفوعات عبر الحدود لما يقرب من أربعة ملايين مستخدم. ستقوم تقنية التداول المجزأ في الوقت الحقيقي من درايف ويلث والبنية التحتية للوساطة القائمة على واجهة برمجة التطبيقات (API) بتمكين سكان أوغندا من الحصول على وصول ميسور التكلفة للاستثمار في الأسهم الرأسمالية الأمريكية لأول مرة.

وفقًا للبنك الدولي فإن حوالي 66٪ من سكان أفريقيا جنوب الصحراء لم يتمكنوا من الوصول إلى حساب مصرفي في عام 2020. وفي حين أن عدد السكان الكبير الذين لا يتعاملون مع البنوك في أفريقيا يتجهون بشكل متزايد إلى التكنولوجيا من أجل المساعدة في إنشاء نظام مالي أكثر شمولاً، فإن الاستثمار في أسواق الأسهم الرأسمالية الأمريكية يتطلب حدًا أدنى مرتفعًا، وكان متاحًا فقط للأفراد ذوي الثروات العالية، مما ترك الكثير من سكان أوغندا دون وصول. ومن خلال شراكتها مع درايف ويلث، تعمل شيبر كاش على تمكين المستثمرين كل يوم في أوغندا من خلال الوصول الآمن وبأسعار ميسورة إلى سوق الأسهم الرأسمالية الأمريكية لأول مرة. وسيتمكن المستخدمون الآن من الاستثمار على أساس مكافئ الدولار (أي الأسهم المجزأة) في أكثر من 6000 من سندات الضمان وصناديق المؤشرات المتداولة الاستثمارية الأمريكية، مما يسمح للمستهلكين بالاستثمار دون حد أدنى من المتطلبات.

وقال بوب كورترايت، المؤسس والرئيس التنفيذي لشركة درايف ويلث، “يُعَد تزويد المستثمرين المحرومين بالأدوات التي يحتاجونها لكسر الحواجز أمام الاستثمار بمثابة خطوة حاسمة نحو جعل الاستثمار ديمقراطيًا في جميع أنحاء العالم”. “إن ما تمكنت شيبر كاش من إنجازه في سنواتها القصيرة القليلة هو مساعدة الأفارقة في الوصول إلى مجموعة من الخدمات المالية بتكلفة زهيدة من هواتفهم. ويسعدنا أن نتشارك مع شيبر كاش من أجل مساعدة المستثمرين على بناء ثروة طويلة الأجل من خلال الاستثمار في الأسهم الرأسمالية الأمريكية”.

قال هام سيرونجوجي، الرئيس التنفيذي لشركة شيبر كاش، “نحن متحمسون لإضافة الاستثمار في الأسهم الرأسمالية الأمريكية إلى منصتنا من أجل استكمال عروضنا الأولية للمعاملات من نظير إلى نظير والمدفوعات عبر الحدود”. “وبفضل شراكتنا مع درايف ويلث، أصبح سوق الولايات المتحدة الآن في متناول جميع سكان أوغندا. وهذا سيُمكِّن المواطنين من تحسين وضعهم المالي وأن يملكوا مستقبلهم المالي بأيديهم”.

بعد طرح هذا العرض في أوغندا، تخطط شيبر كاش لتوفير الوصول إلى التداول المجزأ في الأسهم الرأسمالية الأمريكية من خلال شراكتها مع درايف ويلث في نيجيريا وجنوب أفريقيا.

حول شركة درايف ويلث

درايف ويلث هي شركة رائدة في تداول الأسهم المجزأة والاستثمار المضمن، وهي شركة تكنولوجيا ذات رؤية تقوم بتمكين أكثر من 100 شريك حول العالم من إشراك عملائهم من خلال وضع الأسواق في متناول أيديهم. نحن نؤمن بأن المستقبل للتداول المجزأ والمعاملات والجوَّال. يجب أن يكون كل جهاز جوَّال بمثابة بوابة للوصول إلى منتجات الاستثمار والادخار والخدمات والاستشارات والمساعدة للمواطنين العالميين من جميع الأعمار ومراحل الثروة ومستويات الخبرة المالية. ويتيح الدعم الاستشاري الذي لا مثيل له من درايف ويلث ومنصة تكنولوجيا القوة الصناعية القائمة على السحابة للشركاء تقديم تجارب استثمار ذات علامات تجارية مميزة بسلاسة، من أجل زيادة اكتساب وولاء والاحتفاظ بالعملاء ونمو الإيرادات. إن التزام درايف ويلث بالتطور والابتكار المتواصلين يجعلها الشريك المفضل لتمكين ودعم مستقبل الاستثمار. لمزيد من المعلومات، يُرجى زيارة drivewealth.com أو تَواصَل معنا على
