(New York, NY)- TRENDS, a family-owned business, is poised to become a cornerstone of the Queens community this spring. Awarded the 100th Conditional Adult-Use Retail Dispensary (CAURD) license last April by New York State’s Office of Cannabis Management (OCM), TRENDS is the latest venture for brothers Rodney Carter Jr., owner of ‘Hurricane Fitness’, and Brandon Carter, a business strategist and web developer. Officially opening on 7/10 National Dab Day (710 is OIL upside down), the TRENDS brothers are excited to provide a safe space for NYC cannabis enthusiasts to come and experience culture, wellness, and community.

 

“Cannabis has been used as plant medicine for centuries, part of many cultures worldwide,” says Rodney Carter Jr., TRENDS CEO. “Our mission is to highlight the global history of the plant and challenge its stereotypes. By visiting our store, customers will have the chance to see marijuana through a new lens while connecting with others.”

When the Marijuana Regulation and Taxation Act (MRTA) was signed in 2021, cannabis enthusiasts across the country were excited to see that NYS lawmakers were prioritizing victims who were negatively impacted by the War on Drugs. TRENDS is dedicated to fostering an environment of inclusivity and education to push back against the lingering stigma and misinformation surrounding cannabis. The new company is striving to empower individuals to engage in open and constructive conversations about cannabis and its potential benefits.

“TRENDS stands for ‘The Real Experience Needs Different Stories’. We want our community members to feel comfortable sharing their stories,” says Brandon Carter, TRENDS COO. “Our podcast ‘TRENDS and Friends’ will educate listeners on how to find balance in their lives and will feature guests like other CAURD (Conditional Adult-Use Retail Dispensary) retailers, cannabis advocates, as well as experts in the fields of wellness, spirituality, and business.”

Nestled in Long Island City Queens, the trendy new location spans an impressive 6,000 sq. ft. and will also feature an events space as well as 10’ installations titled “Trending Through Time”, highlighting the history of cannabis. Featuring artwork by Spanish illustrator and visual artist Juan Astasio Soriano and TRENDS creative director and photographer Monica Vie, it’s where cannabis meets education and art. Beyond a traditional dispensary, the Carter brothers are creating a space that will also serve as a dynamic hub for community gatherings, musical events, and educational workshops.

As the grand opening on 7/10 quickly approaches, Rodney and Brandon are eager to welcome visitors to TRENDS, where they’ll experience a unique blend of wellness, community, culture, and education.

TRENDS is located at 27-25 44th Drive, Long Island City, NY 11101.

About TRENDS

Almost 30 years after their father, Rodney Carter Sr., was convicted of marijuana possession, the TRENDS brothers, Rodney and Brandon Carter, are rewriting history as CAURD’s 100th licensed retailer. Their store, TRENDS, is the largest cannabis dispensary currently in New York City.

Watching their father navigate addiction and the gritty streets of Harlem and Queens, showed the Carter Brothers the importance of resilience. And though the brothers chose two different routes in life, each one took the lessons their father taught them and used them to take care of their families, enrich their lives, and build successful businesses. When New York’s Cannabis Control Board and the Office of Cannabis Management announced that 300 CAURD retail licenses were reserved for individuals negatively impacted by the War on Drugs, they knew this was their chance to build generational wealth and show their father his hard work is paying off.

Growing up between Hollis (known to some as “Homicide” Hollis) and South Jamaica Queens, the brothers began flexing their entrepreneurial muscles when Rodney was eight years-old and Brandon was six. They started off selling raffle tickets to basketball games on 72nd street. In their teenage years, they took their talents to Madison Square Garden where they sold circus lights.

Rodney, the oldest of the duo, went down a dark path, choosing to hustle through the streets until he found his way to boxing. In the ring, he rediscovered his passion for fitness, using the sport to improve his life and mental health. After working as a personal trainer, Rodney opened his fitness business, Hurricane Fitness, which provides health and wellness services to those seeking to build strength through adversity. As CEO of TRENDS, Rodney brings with him over 30 years of entrepreneurial expertise.

Brandon chose to pursue a formal education. When their mother lost her battle to cancer, Brandon was inspired to change the narrative about Black people working in tech, especially for the next generation coming up in Queens. Watching his brother and father remain determined, even while dealing with their mothers death, encouraged Brandon to work hard and earn his degree in Web Development. Brandon’s vision as COO is to expand TRENDS business model to include delivery services, consumption lounges, a fashionable lifestyle brand, and a podcast that shares the diversity of the cannabis plant and its consumers.

Ultimately, Rodney and Brandon created TRENDS as a way to share their story and their world. From their point-of-view, everyone who walks into TRENDS is family. They know that staying connected to family, especially as our world rapidly changes, requires vulnerability and willingness. As pioneers in the New York cannabis industry, the brothers are committed to fostering inclusivity, education, and empowerment within their community, paving the way for a brighter and more equitable future.

Published

on

United States, 6th Jul 2024, King NewsWire — In a significant expansion of its aesthetic services, LURE Boutique Medical Spa is proud to announce the introduction of advanced Botox treatments tailored for the discerning clientele of Las Vegas.

A revolutionary advancement in the field of cosmetic enhancement is on the horizon. The approach is centered around personalized treatment, utilizing the latest techniques and the highest level of expertise to deliver unparalleled results. This development promises to redefine the conventional norms of cosmetic enhancement and offer a new level of confidence and self-assurance to those seeking to enhance their appearance.

Offering a Unique Blend of Luxury and Precision

Located at the heart of Las Vegas, LURE Medical Spa has consistently set benchmarks in non-surgical aesthetic treatments. With an unwavering commitment to quality, artistry, class, and transparency, LURE ensures that each client receives a bespoke treatment experience that not only meets but exceeds their expectations.

“The introduction of advanced Botox treatments is a response to our clients’ demand for non-invasive yet effective solutions to their aesthetic concerns,” says the founder of LURE Medical Spa. “Botox is not just about reducing wrinkles; it’s about enhancing individual beauty with precision and care.”

Expertise That Brings Out the Best in You

The team at LURE Medical Spa comprises highly skilled professionals who specialize in non-invasive medical aesthetics. By staying abreast with the newest trends and continuously updating their skills through education, LURE’s practitioners ensure that each Botox application is performed with the utmost precision and tailored to individual facial structures.

This personalization is key to achieving natural-looking results that enhance and refresh appearances without altering one’s inherent beauty. “Our goal is to help our clients look their best with minimal intervention and maximum comfort,” adds the clinical director.

Botox Las Vegas: A Solution for Every Aesthetic Challenge

At LURE Boutique Medical Spa, Botox is more than just a solution for aging skin; it’s a versatile tool that addresses a huge range of aesthetic and therapeutic needs. Our expert team understands the diverse capabilities of Botox, ensuring every treatment is meticulously tailored to serve more than just cosmetic purposes.

Beyond Cosmetic Enhancement

Botox’s well-known benefits for smoothing wrinkles and fine lines are just the beginning. At LURE, we harness the full potential of Botox to include therapeutic applications that significantly improve the quality of life for our clients. For individuals suffering from excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), Botox provides much-needed relief by temporarily blocking the nerves that cause excessive sweat. This treatment is quick and efficient and can dramatically enhance daily comfort and confidence.

Additionally, Botox is a powerful ally against chronic migraines. By injecting Botox at key points around the neck, forehead, and scalp, we can reduce the frequency and severity of migraine headaches. This treatment is ideal for those who seek a non-pharmaceutical approach to manage their condition, offering significant improvements in their overall well-being.

Comprehensive Consultation and Care

At LURE Medical Spa, every Botox treatment begins with a detailed consultation. Our approach is very deeply rooted in understanding the needs & goals of each client. During the initial private consultation, we discuss your aesthetic aspirations and any medical concerns you might have, ensuring that the treatment plan is not only aesthetically pleasing but also medically sound.

Following the treatment, we provide comprehensive aftercare support designed to maximize the effectiveness of the procedures and ensure optimal recovery and satisfaction. Our team prioritizes patient education, helping you understand every aspect of your treatment and what to expect during the healing process. This educational approach empowers and helps you to make decisions about your aesthetic journey and ensures that you are fully aware of the maintenance and longevity of your Botox results.

By choosing LURE for your Botox Las Vegas treatments, you’re not just selecting a service; you’re opting for a holistic experience that covers all aspects of your aesthetic and therapeutic needs. Our commitment to providing an efficient experience that prioritizes your health, beauty, and education sets us apart as a leader in Botox treatments in Las Vegas.

RWA Leading Project Oraclizer Collaborates with India’s flexiProps on Real Estate Asset Tokenization

Published

on

Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands, 6th Jul 2024 – The RWA tokenization project Oraclizer, led by CEO Jonghun Hong, has entered into a partnership with Challa Properties Pvt, Ltd. Established in 2004, Challa Properties operates the real estate fractional investment platform flexiProps, which services users in Dubai. The collaboration aims to tokenize Indian real estate on Oraclizer’s platform to facilitate trading.

flexiProps is a real estate-based crowdfunding platform targeting an annual return of 8-12%. The company owns properties in Chennai and northern Mumbai, India, and allows for fractional investment in these properties. Its primary users are based in Dubai, and the platform has successfully completed crowdfunding for several properties, securing many users and additional investment opportunities. Users of flexiProps can invest in properties identified through thorough data analysis and market research, and they can receive rental income or profits from property value appreciation.

Jonghun Hong, Lead of Horizen Korea Team, which operates Oraclizer, stated, “Through this business collaboration, we can now trade and invest in Indian real estate on the Oraclizer tokenization platform, bringing one of blockchain’s key benefits, global liquidity, to India. While there are many domestic trading platforms for fractional investment both in Korea and abroad, we are excited about the collaboration with flexiProps, which chose Oraclizer as a method to reliably provide global liquidity through blockchain.”

In 2024, India’s residential real estate sector is expected to maintain continuous growth driven by strong demand. The increasing urbanization and growing middle class in India are contributing to the steady rise in demand for residential properties. The commercial real estate sector is also seeing consistent demand for office space, supported by India’s economic growth and the expansion of the IT and service industries. Major real estate reports from CBRE and JLL predict strong growth for the Indian real estate market in 2024, highlighting the potential for Oraclizer to offer a tokenization platform that allows global investors to enter the Indian market in new ways.

Additionally, Oraclizer recently signed an agreement with Erkhembayar Baltsuk, Deputy CEO of TransBank, to advance RWA tokenization and blockchain industry development in Mongolia. And had a meeting with the Communications Regulatory Commission of Mongolia, one of Mongolia’s central government bodies. Based on their recently published paper, “A Regulatory Compliance Protocol for Asset Interoperability Between Traditional and Decentralized Finance in Tokenized Capital Markets,” the team has been advising the Mongolian government on blockchain-related regulations. They also discussed collaboration on on-chain operational methods for direct interoperability with financial systems that allow actual ownership changes, in contrast to traditional SPV (or SPC)-based RWA tokenization, which does not involve ownership changes.

The Horizen Korea team leading Oraclizer consists of the core team that conceptualized and developed Shinhan Financial Group’s Shinhan Digital Asset Platform. Additionally, they are actively involved in introducing blockchain technology across various sectors, including pilot projects for blockchain adoption in public institutions in Korea and the membership NFT for Kolon’s Hotel Cappuccino.

Horizen (Ticker: ZEN/ETF: HZEN), a project launched in 2017 that is listed on major exchanges such as CoinBase and Binance. It is also well-known for being part of the portfolios of Grayscale and Digital Currency Group (DCG), both of which are prominent ETF asset management firms. Recently, Horizen has launched zkVerify and migrated Horizen to the EON chain, showcasing significant advancements in various areas within the rapidly evolving industry. Additionally, with the recent removal of anonymity features, the monitoring tag has been removed from Binance.

Press Release

DHRUVA RESEARCH is launched – Building India’s top financial education platform

Published

on

Mr. Prabhat Kumar, a well-known SEBI registered research analyst, announced today that his financial market research institute DHRUVA RESEARCH is officially launched. The institute is committed to improving the financial literacy and investment capabilities of Indian investors through education and research, and fundamentally changing investors’ perception of the market.

“Over the years, I have accumulated rich experience in the global financial market. The epidemic has not only changed the global economic landscape, but also made me re-examine my own development direction,” said Mr. Prabhat Kumar. “I firmly believe that through education and the dissemination of knowledge, more investors can succeed in the financial market.”

Professor Prabhat Kumar has a rich educational background and professional experience in the field of finance. He graduated from the famous Indian institution Indian Institute of Management Bangalore (IIM Bangalore), and went to Rutgers Business School in the United States in 2001 to study for an MBA and a master’s degree in finance, graduating in 2004.

Throughout his career, Professor Prabhat Kumar has demonstrated outstanding financial analysis and management capabilities:

  • From August 2009 to August 2011, he worked as a commercial banking account manager at Citibank, USA, during which he was transferred to Citibank’s investment banking analyst assistant for 8 months.
  • From 2012 to November 2015, he worked as an analyst at Merrill Lynch, USA, and was promoted to chief analyst in 2014 due to his excellent trading performance.
  • From March 2016 to December 2019, he served as deputy team leader in the wealth management department of Barclays Capital, and transferred to the research department in June 2017 and was promoted to the main person in charge.

Professor Prabhat Kumar has more than 15 years of experience in the financial field and is a well-respected SEBI registered research analyst. He has accumulated rich research and investment experience in financial markets around the world and has a deep understanding of financial instruments such as stocks, bonds, and derivatives. He has worked in many internationally renowned financial institutions and played an important role in many financial research projects, committed to providing customers with excellent investment advice and market analysis.

Professor Prabhat Kumar is passionate about education and knowledge dissemination. He firmly believes that education is the key to improving investor literacy. He has given speeches at international financial conferences and seminars many times, sharing his research results and investment experience, which has been widely recognized and praised. As the founder and chief mentor of DHRUVA RESEARCH, he hopes to pass on his knowledge and experience to more investors through this platform and help them find a successful path in the complex financial market.

With the official launch of DHRUVA RESEARCH, all related services will be open to the public free of charge during the trial operation phase. The institute will also participate in the analyst challenge organized by the CFA Institute to take this opportunity to demonstrate its strength and attract more attention.

Through exchanges with friends and people in the investment circle, Professor Prabhat Kumar concluded that the main reasons for losses of Indian investors are concentrated in the following aspects: first, they cannot adapt to market fluctuations, second, they lack sufficient knowledge and research, third, they over-trade, and fourth, they do not know how to diversify risks. However, as the world’s most populous country and a future economic giant, India’s financial market is booming, and the influx of domestic and foreign funds has prompted more and more ordinary people to get involved in the stock market. This phenomenon further deepened the professor’s determination to establish a high-end financial research institute, hoping to improve the quality of investors through education and fundamentally change the status quo.

To this end, Professor Prabhat Kumar has a lofty vision – to establish a financial market research institute to cultivate high-end financial talents in India and even the world, and change investors’ perception of the market. He knows that shaping a mature investment culture is inseparable from the guidance and demonstration of a high-end circle. Therefore, he plans to enhance his social influence by participating in the CFA Institute Research Challenge organized by the CFA Institute to attract more people with lofty ideals to join this movement of knowledge popularization and ability improvement.

The CFA Institute Research Challenge is not only a platform to demonstrate personal ability, but also an excellent opportunity to learn and communicate with industry elites. Professor Prabhat Kumar hopes to attract more investors and financial practitioners by making a name for himself in the competition, and accumulate popularity and demonstrate strength through his own teaching and practice to help more people understand the essence of the stock market. The professor will also selflessly share his experience accumulated over the years, so that investors can ride the wind and waves in the turbulent stock market and sail to the other side of profitability.

Professor Prabhat Kumar’s wish is not limited to personal achievements. He hopes to make important contributions to India’s financial education brand through his own efforts. With the help of the CFA Analyst Challenge platform, he will make more like-minded friends to jointly promote the healthy development of India’s financial market and create a more stable and knowledge-rich investment environment.

Professor Prabhat Kumar firmly believes that through the dissemination of knowledge and the guidance of the circle, India’s investment environment will definitely get better and better. Let us look forward to the financial education platform he has built to bring new enlightenment and gains to investors in India and even the world, so that more people can realize their dreams on the road of investment and welcome a promising future together.
