YourUpdateTV

Planning a memorable holiday begins with the right accommodation. Recently, Liz Debold Fusco, Communications Lead for North America, Airbnb, conducted a satellite media tour to share the best Airbnb hacks to help your holiday travel dreams come true. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/U4QjdBszMq4 Based on feedback from guests and Hosts around the world, Airbnb improved nearly every aspect of the app experience. From sign up to checking out, and every step in between, Airbnb took a design-driven approach to make sure that users have a seamless booking experience. Whether by the shore or on the slopes, a dream holiday stay is within reach. Airbnb is sharing its best hacks to help holiday travel dreams come true, from filtering searches for must-have amenities to curating the ultimate winter vibe with Airbnb Categories. Grab a cup of cocoa, cozy up by the fire, and let Airbnb help you find the ultimate festive stay. Use total price display to search for perfect holiday getaways within budget Last December, Airbnb rolled out total price display, a game-changing feature that makes it easier to search for unique, festive stays within your budget. With the goal of empowering guests to make informed decisions, Airbnb revolutionized the way stays are presented by showcasing the total price, inclusive of all fees before taxes, right from the get-go. Since launch, over 8 million guests have booked travel on Airbnb using the feature. i Whether looking for a cabin for ten, or a private room for two, total price display gives the guests the transparency they need to find the best option for them. Use Categories to search by holiday vibe or for inspiration Dreaming of a white Christmas in a ski-in ski-out chalet? Or maybe leaning towards a blue Hawaiian on a sandy beach? Airbnb Categories are helpful in finding that needle in the haystack, or inspiring guests as they figure out what type of stay they crave! There are so many unique categories to choose from – and this holiday season, Vineyards, Cabins and Iconic Cities are three of the most popular Categories guests are booking this year ii, showcasing how every traveler has a unique vision on what their perfect holiday stay can be. iii Filter searches to find the perfect winter escape A stay with all the trimmings can mean different things to different guests, for some that’s wifi and for others it’s a gym! In fact, last holiday season, two of the most searched amenities on Airbnb were jacuzzis and fireplaces iv. Just in time for this holiday season, Airbnb introduced two new search filters based on popular demand: pet-friendly stays and king-size beds, making it even easier to narrow searches for every individual’s holiday must-haves! Santa doesn’t have the only holiday wishlist Wishlists are the best way to get holiday planning underway. And following Airbnb’s 2023 Summer Release, Wishlists now include a calendar so guests can check the availability of all wishlisted stays. Guests can also add personalized notes to each wishlisted home to easily reference why a particular stay made it on the nice list to begin with! Flexible searches and carousel fun With Airbnb’s flexible search tool, dream stays are just a click away. If flexible on where and when, and even for how long, guests can unlock even more stays over the busy travel season. And it’s easy to use: instead of selecting exact dates or even a destination at the beginning of a search, guests can search with options like a weekend getaway, a week-long vacation, or even a month-long stay, as well as by continent or country or anywhere in the world. But if travel plans are fairly set, and search results are limited, a brand new feature will automatically display a carousel at the bottom of search results with more great stays available over similar dates. Guests and their loved ones are covered this season, with AirCover Airbnb is here to take the stress out of booking a stay for the holidays! Every booking comes with AirCover, so if there’s a serious issue, Airbnb will help guests find a similar place. To learn more, visit airbnb.com.

Technology Minerals Chairman says Recyclus moving into a new phase with EA clearance

Technology Minerals PLC

Technology Minerals PLC (LSE:TM1) chairman Robin Brundle speaks to Proactive's Thomas Warner after the company's 48.25%-owned battery recycling business, Recyclus, received final clearance from the Environment Agency for fully automated operations at its lead acid battery recycling plant in Tipton, West Midlands. Brundle starts by saying that he's delighted with the news and says that the clearance should serve as a "cookie-cutter" for helping Recyclus create more lead acid recycling plants. The company aims to get five lead acid and five lithium-ion recycling plants up and running in the coming years. He also provides an update on the company's lithium-ion recycling plant in Wolverhampton, saying that the facility has completed the commissioning phase and is "ready to run at full scale... we've transitioned that business from pre-revenue to revenue." When asked if recent progress on the two facilities represents the end of the beginning for Recyclus, Brundle agrees before going to lay out the next steps for the business.

RV Sales of Broward, Owner Gigi Stetler To Appeal Catastrophic Fire Case Against 595 Annex

RV Sales of Broward

RV Sales of Broward, one of the leading recreational vehicle sellers in Florida, operating under the trade name Planet RV, is continuing a legal battle of paramount importance to win again at the appellate level. While the jury in the original case awarded $2,637,000 to RV Sales of Broward after hearing all the evidence, the judge nullified the jury’s award, reducing it to $557,000. The judgment came after a jury had ruled in favor of the RV company in its case against the landlord, 595 Annex, LLC, following a devastating fire that razed Planet RV in March 2021. Stetler will ask the appeals court to reverse the judge’s decision that stripped away her multi-million-dollar damage award, decided by a Broward County jury after a two-week trial. The plaintiffs had initiated legal proceedings against their landlord, 595 Annex, LLC, to seek damages and remedies for the tragic incident. The company previously occupied a commercial property at 3030 Burris Rd, Davie, Florida, owned by the same landlord who also operates the 595 Truck Stop in Davie, Florida. In 2018, RV Sales of Broward raised concerns about faulty wiring that had caused damage to numerous RVs and equipment over several years. The landlord dismissed the concerns. Unfortunately, on March 22, 2021, a catastrophic five-alarm fire erupted, resulting in a complete loss of Stetler's building, business, and its contents. Stetler, who believed she was protected by her lease, expected insurance proceeds to be used for rebuilding or restoring the property in the event of such a casualty. However, this did not happen. It was later discovered that the landlord had received insurance proceeds exceeding $1,000,000 for rebuilding and also received lost rent revenue totaling $210,000. Surprisingly, the landlord sued Stetler for rent and eviction. In response, Stetler filed a seven-count complaint in the summer of 2021. After 27 months, only three counts remained, with one of them being a breach of contract negligence claim, which eventually went to a jury trial. Just before concluding the trial, there was a dispute regarding the verdict form. Stetler's counsel argued that the defendant's form was confusing and inconsistent, but the court favored the defendant's version. The jury, however, faced difficulties in understanding the form and sought clarification from the judge, who could only refer to the jury instructions. After extensive deliberations, the jury reached a verdict. They awarded Stetler's company $557,000 for breach of contract negligence due to the faulty wiring issue. Additionally, they granted $210,000 for unjust enrichment, as the landlord had charged rent while also collecting insurance. Furthermore, Stetler's company received $1,870,000 for constructive eviction because the landlord's failure to rebuild forced Stetler to relocate her company at a much higher rental rate. Following the jury's decision, the defendants raised concerns about the verdict's inconsistency. In response to these concerns, the judge ordered all parties to return the next morning. After hearing arguments from both sides, the judge retained only the breach of contract claim. The judge told Stetler that she had her day in court and she would be left with the breach of contract claim for $557,000. All post-trial motions have been considered and denied, and appeals have been filed. However, Stetler finds herself in a legal limbo. Although she has a final judgment of $557,000 against the defendants, the judge has not determined the rent owed after set-offs and proper abatement. The judge has refused to rule on this matter until the appeal process is complete, even though it technically should not occur until a proper final judgment is in place. RV Sales of Broward and Stetler remain committed to protecting their rights as they believe it was clear after a long, drawn-out trial that the jury had intended to award Stetler and her company fair compensation for the losses that were suffered. Stetler is grappling with the challenge of rebuilding her company amid escalating legal expenses and an uncertain timeline to resolve this ordeal. Compounding her difficulties, 595 Annex currently holds all the funds and has transformed Stetler's previously thriving RV dealership into an extension of their truck stop.

Limak

GLOBAL ENGINEER GIRLS ACHIEVES MILESTONE IN KOSOVO TOWARDS GENDER EQUALITY IN STEM Prishtine, October 18, 2023 - Global Engineer Girls (GEG), the international philanthropic initiative aiming to improve women’s representation in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM), proudly announces the graduation of 20 young women from its flagship program in Kosovo. Implemented by Limak Group in partnership with the UNDP in Kosovo, GEG Kosovo empowers young women and girls enrolled in STEM education and provides them with opportunities to gain crucial experience in a male-dominated industry. The project aims to inspire the next generation of female engineers, and highlight the strides made towards gender equality in STEM education. The graduation ceremony marked the successful completion of a year-long journey of scholarships, training, mentorship, and internships, all provided by GEG Kosovo. The ceremony also highlighted the projects undertaken by the girls during their participation in the program, including digital communication, effective team management, personal brand-building, communication, and interpersonal skills. These projects serve as compelling evidence that extending opportunities to girls is a vital way to prepare them for successful futures in the STEM world. President of Kosovo, Vjosa Osmani, in her speech, mentioned, "We must ensure that all our bright minds have equal opportunities to pursue the education of their choice. We need these equal minds in order to address the critical issues of our time, such as climate change and AI. We cannot afford to exclude half of our population from the most pressing challenges of our era. It is imperative to collaborate and work together to achieve equality more swiftly. These young girls serve as clear examples of the potential within our youth. It is our duty to ensure that young women and girls feel empowered to pursue their dreams, regardless of the path they choose. They must harbour no fear or hesitation in stating, 'I want it, and I will make it.' Every girl holds a guaranteed place in our future. I encourage each girl to carry forward the legacy of GEG.” Chair of Limak Holding and Limak Foundation, Ebru Özdemir, said: “It's truly an important milestone for GEG and our vision at Limak. I’m thrilled to see the progress of the GEG Kosovo participants over the past year, and I am certain they all have a bright future ahead of them. Engineering isn’t a man’s world anymore, so it is our responsibility to continue to create opportunities for young women to succeed in STEM by supporting them in their studies and careers.” GEG Kosovo extends its gratitude to its supporters, mentors, parents, and volunteers, who have enabled the success of this program. Their collective efforts have empowered young girls to overcome challenges, build confidence, and unlock their full potential. Moving forward, GEG Kosovo remains committed to expanding and enhancing its programs to reach even more young girls, empowering them to break down barriers and become leaders in STEM fields. About Global Engineer Girls Global Engineer Girls (GEG) is an international philanthropic initiative that aims to inspire the next generation of female engineers. The inception of GEG was driven by Limak Group of Companies' culture and its Chairperson's, Ebru Özdemir's, deep personal commitment to improving women's representation in STEM. GEG provides girls and women with education, mentorship and career opportunities in Turkey, North Macedonia, Kosovo, Kuwait and beyond. GEG's predecessor, the Engineer Girls of Turkey (EGT), was launched in Turkey in 2015. Since its inception in 2015, the GEG university programme has benefited 710 young women by providing support for female students enrolled in chemical, civil, computer, electrical- electronic, environmental, industrial, and mechanical engineering departments in Turkish universities. This support has included funded scholarships and mentoring by hundreds of professional volunteers, as well as online training programs, soft skills and English language courses, internships, and employment opportunities at Limak's companies and partner companies.

Pyxis Tankers expecting strong product tanker demand through 2024

Pyxis Tankers Inc

Pyxis Tankers Inc (NASDAQ:PXS) chairman and CEO Valentios (Eddie) Valentis speaks to Thomas Warner from Proactive about how the tanker operator has been performing since his last Proactive appearance in April. Valentis gives an overview of the results from the six months to 30 June, highlighting revenues of approximately $17.8 million, adjusted EBITDA of $9.4 million, and fully diluted earnings per share of $0.94. The performance was driven by a high daily charter rate of over $24,000 and utilization at around 94%. The sale of their oldest tanker in March bolstered their cash position to over $34 million, with net funded debt at less than 19% of total capitalization at the end of the reporting period. He explains that Pyxis also made strides in asset diversification by entering a joint venture to acquire a 2016 UltraMax dry bulk vessel. This venture allows the company to explore new opportunities and maintain control with a 60% ownership stake. Valentis emphasises the company's commitment to the product tanker sector despite the foray into dry bulk, anticipating continued strength in demand due to low inventories of refined petroleum products and healthy crack spreads. He expects the sector to remain solid at least through 2024, although short-term volatility may persist due to factors like weather conditions and geopolitical developments. Despite Pyxis Tankers' strong performance, Valentis noted that the company's share price trades at a significant discount to its estimated net asset value, highlighting potential for share price improvement as strategic investments and vessel acquisitions gain traction.

Feal Suspension

Formula DRIFT veteran Aurimas “Odi” Bakchis continued to impress hundreds of thousands of fans and fellow competitors at the Formula DRIFT season finale at Irwindale Speedway on October 13-14. With multiple podiums, Bakchis entered the final round of the 2023 FD season positioned fifth overall in the championship. During the event, he worked his Feal Suspension / GT Radial Nissan S15 up the steeply banked track and into second place both at the event and in the overall championship standings in front of a sold-out crowd. While Bakchis’ driving earned the respect of the judges and put him on the podium, his car build also earned the respect of the fans, who voted Bakchis’ Feal Suspension / GT Radial Nissan S15 as the 2023 “Fan Favorite Car.” As runner up in the entire Formula DRIFT PRO championship, Bakchis placed an exclamation point over an impressive showing all season by the entire Feal Suspension Race Team. Bakchis himself is owner and operator of the Feal Suspension Race Team, which took on two new drivers this season.
