BuySellAds and Buttondown Collaborate to Streamline Sponsorship Placements, Offering Advertisers Direct Access to Newsletter Audiences

BuySellAds, the leading contextual advertising platform, announces its integration with Buttondown. This collaboration is the first of many, as BuySellAds actively seeks to partner with other email service providers, aiming to set a new industry standard for seamless and aesthetically pleasing ad integrations in newsletters.

The integration allows Buttondown users to effortlessly pull ads from the BuySellAds Ad Serving API, dynamically integrating sponsorships into their email templates. This not only reduces manual work but also ensures that publishers retain full control over the sponsors they feature, guaranteeing content authenticity.

Beyond simplifying the ad integration process, this collaboration also offers publishers the potential to diversify their revenue streams. By connecting with BuySellAds' vast network of advertisers, publishers can tap into a broader range of sponsorship opportunities. More than just a revenue source, these ads serve as a discovery platform, introducing readers to relevant products and services, thereby enhancing the overall value and experience delivered to their audience.

Todd Garland, CEO of BuySellAds, shared his vision: "Email advertising in newsletters has predominantly been a manual process. While there are methods to integrate ads into emails, the existing options often lack finesse. We're on a mission to transform this landscape, aiming to make ads in email not just functional but truly beautiful and useful for readers, moving away from the conventional 728x90 and 300x250 web ads."

BuySellAds is committed to expanding its platform by collaborating with creators producing high-quality content. The goal is to facilitate advertisers in connecting with these creators on a larger scale, rather than one-on-one interactions. With a slew of new features and integrations slated for Q4, BuySellAds is poised to further enhance the appeal and capabilities of its platform.

KANSAS CITY, MO

Two Rockhurst High Grads – 50 Years Apart – Launch REIT in KC

North Oak Investment, a private mortgage firm specializing in fix & flip rehab projects, is pleased to announce the establishment of a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT). This innovative move aims to offer individual and institutional investors an opportunity to diversify their portfolios while capitalizing on the burgeoning real estate market here in Kansas City.

“We are thrilled to launch our REIT here in KC at a time when Kansas City is making such big waves on a global scale,” said Tommy Nigro, CEO of North Oak Investment. “Our REIT is designed to benefit KC Metro residents, Local KC business owners, and our accredited investor partners.”

Holding onto the Lessons of the Past

North Oak has been around since the 1970s when its founder, Bernard Richter, began making real estate loans to home builders, including Charlie Koehler. In 2017 Mr. Richter, who is a proud member of the Rockhurst High class of 1957, joined forces with Tommy Nigro, who is also a graduate of Rockhurst High, class of 2008.

“The depth of Bernie’s experience has been absolutely key to our ability to craft and hone the algorithms we’re now using every day to make complex, multi-faceted decisions on the fly,” said Tommy Nigro. “We’ve effectively canned Bernie’s decades of experience into a decision-making model that enables us to apply many years of hard-knocks experience into an instantaneous decision.”

These two, with their four-person staff, have managed to combine decades of Kansas City real estate experience with the best service providers in the private lending industry to create a profitable alternative investment vehicle for their accredited investors and an institutional-level funding source for their local small business owner clients who are working hard every day to beautify and improve neighborhoods in and around KC.

Key Benefits for Investors

  • Diversification: The REIT provides a straightforward way for investors to diversify their assets by investing in real estate without the need for direct property ownership.

  • Collateralization: Unlike stocks and bonds, The REIT is collateralized by 100% first mortgages with an average “loan to value” (LTV) of 70%.

  • Liquidity: Unlike traditional real estate investments, shares in this REIT can be easily bought and sold, providing investors with greater liquidity.

  • Income Potential: Investors benefit from regular monthly dividend payments generated from the REIT’s real estate income, offering a reliable income stream.

Tattoo Industry Coup: Award-Winning Tattoo Artist and Industry Innovator, Gabe Jaksich, Becomes the National Program Director for Ink Different Tattoo School

Originally from Argentina, Gabe Jaksich started learning the art of tattooing in 1982, and opened one of the country's first retail tattoo studios in Buenos Aires in 1989. He migrated to the U.S. in 1995 where he developed his skills not only as a tattoo artist, winning several awards in tattoo conventions across the country, yet also as one of the pioneers in cosmetic tattooing. His industry contributions in the early stages of microblading, permanent makeup, scalp pigmentation, and paramedical aesthetics, have led to two published books on these practices, with a special focus on areola simulation and scar camouflage.

In addition to his passion for tattooing, Gabe has been outspoken in his desire to ensure that the tattoo education industry rises to a globally respected and high standard industry.

With over a decade of experience in tattoo education, Gabe brings his experience as the educational mastermind behind Master Tattoo Institute and Oriana Tattoo Academy, to Ink Different Tattoos. His passion for education, professionalism, ethics and raising the bar for the future of the tattoo industry, along with his over 30 years of experience as a Tattoo Artist, make him an attractive catch as the new National Program Director for Ink Different Tattoo School.

“In any tattoo school, academy, or structured apprenticeship, a lack of trained mentors, inadequate education materials, including lack of a curriculum, and poor infrastructure can make learning beyond difficult,” Jaksich explains. “Being enrolled in a school or academy, in and of itself, does not signify that comprehensive learning of the tattoo industry's best standards and practices are taking place.”

Gabe’s experience has taught him that, “receiving quality and optimal tattoo instruction requires the benefits of having a trained mentor with deep industry experience and personal knowledge to instruct prospective artists on a one-on-one individualized basis, using a curated and professional curriculum containing relevant and detailed contents, and all within a reasonable time frame so future tattoo artists can hit the ground running while the proverbial iron is hot.”

Gabe continues with, “While this should be the standard in every traditional apprenticeship, school or academy, it is oftentimes not the chase. Due to my previous experiences and seeing others consistently fall short, I choose Ink Different Tattoo School to be my new home to bring our shared passion for knowledge, professionalism and ethics together to keep raising the bar for the much needed education in the tattoo industry.”

Ink Different Tattoo School’s President and Founder Paul-Anthony Surdi, couldn’t agree more. “Very few people in the world understand just how difficult and important it is to honor and deliver on the dreams of artists who want to make a living from their art in the tattoo industry.” With over a decade of experience leading the creation of the tattoo education industry while expanding Ink Different into the only nationwide trade school for the tattoo industry, Paul-Anthony has seen his fair share of questionable participants.

Paul-Anthony shares, “As far as I can tell, Ink Different is the only place that truly cares about student apprentices succeeding as tattoo artists; which is why we have never promised anyone that they can become a traditional tattoo artist in two weeks, yet we do promise them a job offer when they complete their full apprenticeship.”

Excited about Gabe joining the team, Paul-Anthony explains, “This is a real coup! Gabe is the most qualified person in the country to lead our next levels of hands-on-training around the country, and to think that years ago he was our main competitor, is a bit mind blowing.”

Hope Chain Launched to Curb Rising Suicide Rates Timed for National Suicide Prevention Month

Hope Chain, a non-profit devoted to raising awareness of rising suicide rates, is launching a series of initiatives in time for September’s National Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, which was first observed in 2008.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) noted in a recent report that nationwide suicide rates rose again in 2022, following “an overall 5% increase in suicides in 2021”. Youth and young adults (10–24 years) account for 15% of all suicides, and it is the second leading cause of death for this age group.

“The rising suicide rates and terrible impact on young people motivated us start Hope Chain,” noted Dan Huber, who founded Hope Chain along with his daughter Bailey. “In a culture fatigued by anxiety and depression, we want to create a community dedicated to spreading messages of love, hope, and compassion to try to make a difference.”

Dan and Bailey Huber have produced a short film Please Live, Don’t Die, which focuses on the lives of teen students dealing with bullying, expectations, and issues of anxiety, depression, and suicide. The film is available at HopeChain.com.

“We’ve had family members who attempted suicide, and friends who did it," said Bailey Huber. “We wanted to tap into the popularity of viral videos challenges and social media to spread positive messages and reduce the stigma around reaching out for support.”

Hope Chain Challenges are dedicated to sharing positivity to spark a chain reaction of hope. Anyone can sign up at HopeChain.com or on social media. The first challenge is to film a short video and tell someone - “You Are Loved!” Users then post their video to their social networks using the hashtag #HOPECHAINCHALLENGE and tag @HopeChain. Participants also earn points to be entered for prizes and swag.

Lattini Sunflower Milk Launches Nationwide

Lattini Sunflower Milk, a new plant-based milk alternative on the market, is gaining national traction at retail stores from coast to coast. Lattini produces sustainable plant-based products made with organic sunflowers that are water-smart, allergen-free, and flavor-forward. The trio of sunflower milks - in Original, Unsweetened, and Chocolate - are their first innovation. 

“I wanted to create something that I personally enjoyed drinking,” remarked co-founder Jared Lynch. Lynch was sensitive to dairy and was looking for a lower-calorie milk. Lattini co-founder Nicholas Romano wanted something that was healthier for him and better for the planet. The innovators were surprised to discover that current plant-based milks couldn’t hit the mark on the three things that were most important to them - great taste, good for you and good for the environment. 

It turns out that Lynch and Romano aren’t the only ones looking for a beverage like Lattini. Retailers have shown excitement too. The company has scaled to more than 600 retailers since launching in June of 2022. By the end of 2024, consumers will be able to find Lattini on shelves at more than 500 new locations including:

●      Sprouts Farmers Market (Nationwide)

●      PCC Community Markets (Northwest) 

●      Erewhon (California)

●      Gelson's Market (California) 

●      Nugget (Northern CA) 

●      Better Health (Midwest) 

●      Festival Foods (Wisconsin)

●      Central Market (Texas) 

●      Wegmans (Northeast)

●      Mom’s Organic Market (East Coast)

●      Amazon.com

Sunflower milk is allergen-free and ranks higher than dairy milk in Vitamin E, Copper, Vitamin B1, Vitamin B6, Selenium, Manganese, Phosphorus, Magnesium, Iron, and Folate according to Foodstruct.com. Sunflower seeds are also said to be higher in minerals and vitamins than almonds and oats.

“We’re excited to see Lattini gaining traction in new retailers and with consumers,” says Romano. He and Lynch worked on the research and development for Lattini for months before landing on the current formulation. “Once we knew we had the nutrition and sustainability locked down, we wanted to be sure the taste was great too. There are too many products out there that tout their nutrition but just don’t taste good. We wanted Lattini to get high marks in all categories.”

This isn’t the first time Lynch and Romano have scaled a food brand that consumers love. They have 15+ years of experience building award-winning and nationally available CPG food products. Lattini’s co-founders have big dreams for the brand. “Lattini is the only sunflower milk on the market,” says Lynch. "We’re excited to get the product in front of as many people as possible right now because we know that once they taste it, they’re going to love it.”

Shop for Lattini at your favorite retailer, or you can also find it on Amazon. Learn more about the company at www.lattini.com.

About Lattini

Jared Lynch and Nick Romano created Lattini Sunflower Milk to be a delicious, nutritious, and sustainable plant-based milk they would personally love to consume every day. Lattini produces the only plant-based sunflower milk on the market, and the company has other innovative sunflower-based products in the pipeline. Their sunflower milk is proudly made using organic sunflower seeds, is free of added oils and fillers, and is perfect for everyday use. For more information, visit www.lattini.com.

Inclusively, a professional network transforming the way candidates with disabilities, mental health conditions, and chronic illnesses find jobs and connect to inclusive employers, is proud to newly introduce Retain—a solution tailored for the forward-thinking enterprise, set to revolutionize employee experience.

In a move set to redefine how businesses approach accommodations, Inclusively launches Retain, targeting enterprise-level companies, and merging advanced AI with human-centric processes. Retain's primary goal is to simplify, automate, and transform the way businesses address and manage employee accommodation requests at scale.

Charlotte Dales, co-founder and CEO of Inclusively, remarked, "Accommodations are the silent champions of an inclusive work environment. With Retain, we're not just tweaking the system; we're disrupting how accommodations have been traditionally managed. We're in 2023, and it's time to move away from a medical model and embrace a more social approach to accommodations that every employee benefits from."

Retain isn't just a case management tool, it's a comprehensive solution tailored to bridge the gap between the needs of the employees and companies that want to build the most productive workforce. Its holistic approach ensures transparency around the accommodations process, taking into account the nuances of each request while building capacity at companies that are seeing a major increase in requests coming in. With a changing workforce landscape, post-pandemic work emphasizes mental health, flexibility, and breaks. As accommodation requests surge, Retain aids in meeting accessibility demands and future-proofs a company’s HR position.  

Sarah Bernard, co-founder and COO of Inclusively, shared her perspective on Retain saying, "Every creation at Inclusively stems from a desire to challenge the status quo. Retain is a manifestation of that very spirit. We've envisioned a world where every individual feels empowered to personalize their workplace needs, and Retain is our way of making that world a reality for enterprises. With Retain, we're reversing social norms around accommodations. It's about giving enterprise companies a tool that’s robust enough for their scale and enables each and every employee to reach their full potential."

Ink Different Unveils the Definitive Tattoo School Guide 2023: Your Complete Reference to Tattoo Schools Across the United States

As Ink Different Tattoos commemorates a successful decade of overseeing tattoo studios nationwide and proudly inaugurates its seven studio in Cincinnati, Ohio, the industry is abuzz with the release of the much-anticipated "2023 Definitive Guide to Best Tattoo Schools and Tattoo Apprenticeships Near Me". This comprehensive resource equips aspiring tattoo artists and novices with a profound understanding of the journey towards becoming a licensed tattoo artist and securing a tattoo apprenticeship in some of the cities across the nation.

Paul-Anthony Surdi, the founder behind Ink Different Tattoos and Tattoo School, reflects, "Our over decade-long journey of establishing tattoo studios from coast to coast has imparted invaluable insights. Each state, and often each city or county within a state, has its distinct perspective on tattooing, along with varying licensing regulations. Drawing from our extensive research as we expand, our next step was sharing a definitive guide that encapsulates the diverse tattoo apprenticeship options in the United States—a crucial resource for aspiring tattoo artists on their journeys."

As the sole operator of the United States' only nationwide tattoo school and tattoo apprenticeship program for over a decade, the Ink Different Tattoos team has accumulated a wealth of knowledge encompassing the establishment, management, and sustainability of tattoo studios.

Paul-Anthony further elaborates, "Many aspiring tattoo artists are often unaware of the implications of not having proper tattoo artist training and mentorship prior to applying for their license, especially concerning the skill level required to succeed in the profession. Truly learning how to keep themselves and their clients safe from infections diseases is a huge concern for us, when we think about people trying to learn to tattoo by themselves."

Driven by their distinctive perspective as operators of tattoo shops, tattoo schools, and tattoo apprenticeship programs spanning California, Connecticut, Florida, New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois and now Ohio, Ink Different Tattoos once again takes up the mantle of educating aspiring tattoo artists. Through their release of the "2023 Definitive Guide to Best Tattoo Schools and Tattoo Apprenticeships Near Me," they offer indispensable insights into the roadmap of successful tattoo education within the tattoo industry.

At present, tattoos cover the bodies of 50% of millennials, with workplace acceptance on a steady rise. According to IBIS World research, the tattoo industry boasts a staggering worth of $1.6 billion, registering a growth of 9.9% since 2017, with an additional 4.6% growth in 2023 alone. With some tattoo artists commanding $500 per hour and clients readily investing thousands of dollars for a single session, creative talents across the nation are recognizing the prospects of forging a career as tattoo artists.

About Ink Different Tattoos

Ink Different Tattoos, renowned for its Tattoo School and tattoo apprenticeships, forms a nationwide community of artists and art enthusiasts who champion the future of the tattoo industry. Their distinct approach creates boutique-style studios that exude an art gallery ambiance, underscored by a culture that values client care, apprentices, and mutual support – the embodiment of a "Good Human" culture. Their mission is to ensure excellence and equal opportunity in the tattoo industry, achieved through their tattoo school and apprenticeship program that guarantees a job offer. The result is a dynamic, inclusive, and diverse artistic community that stands as a hallmark of the tattoo industry's inclusivity.

Space EA Introduces “InQuiro Semiconductor Technology”: New Microchip Manufacturing Subsidiary

Space system experts at Space Engineering & Acquisition Systems, Inc. (Space EA) introduce InQuiro Semiconductor Technology (IST), the newest addition to the corporation. IST, the microchip manufacturing arm of Space EA, is a subsidiary scheduled to launch this year. As part of an aggressive expansion plan, IST will provide next generation manufacturing technology.

Space EA has had an impressive record of accomplishments over the past 15 years as engineering and space technology experts. They’ve worked with large government contracts for the Department of Defense, NASA and the US Space Force, while its subject matter experts (SMEs) have over four decades of advanced technology.  With the newest addition, Space EA will not only develop satellite technology but also the microchips that are used in the satellites. These next generation microchips will be able to perform in almost any application from computers, telecommunications, utility power grids, green energy technology, manufacturing operations, and applications across multiple industries.

InQuiro Semiconductor Technology is scheduled to have manufacturing capabilities for microchips of various sizes 7 nm, 12 nm, 24 nm and more. Their mission is to shift commercial and government customers to faster production cycles and lower costs compared to current advanced and specialty chip manufacturing capabilities. By using a new maskless process that is capable of advanced node, low volume manufacturing, and high customization microchips, IST will be able to expedite delivery to their customers almost 90% faster than existing technologies. While existing chip manufacturers will take 1 year or more to produce a microchip order, IST can produce it within weeks.

Another key advantage is IST and Space EA’s collaboration with Austin-based technology company NewLinum LLC, to develop a quantum-secure cybersecurity software solution on a microchip. Called “Secure Chips”, it’s the first microchip of its kind in this new era of technology. NewLinum’s proprietary software technology package is designed to protect networks from cyber-attacks utilizing unique processes. According to company officials, Secure Chips technology application will be deployable after the launch of IST.

Heralded as a technological breakthrough, every microchip and sensor that IST produces will be secured against cyber-attacks and infiltration including quantum computer attacks. The microchips and sensors will appear hidden and undiscernible to other networks and cyber operations. Network transmissions cannot be detected therefore making it impervious to external interruptions through hacking, denial of service (DDoS) attacks or other unwelcome intruders.

All protocols of the security technology activate a patented random data generator, which never repeats a pattern and results in exponential algorithmic complexity and randomization.  It does not respond to port probes, fake IP attempts, unapproved network messages, replay-, altered-, or inserted messages, DDoS, and MiTM.

Rico Jones, Founder and Principal Director of Space EA and IST, explains in more detail, “Our technology suite utilizes a patented Network Access Control - a hardened network process which is immune to external hacking and DDoS attacks. Its hyper-secure global intranet methodology provides no discernable data to an unauthorized attempt. Space EA has initiated R&D into the field of microelectronics ruggedized hardware solutions which will negate the effects of an electromagnetic pulse (EMP)”.

Cyber protection on microchips and sensors is critically important. A disruptive attack on a power grid for example, can cause a series of effects and cripple the city it serves. IST’s new technology for microchips has multiple proprietary protocols which enable quantum-proof secure channels of communication within the network.

Dr. John Seamons, PhD., Chief Technical Officer (CTO) at Space EA and IST, highlighted that, “the on-location internally generated token creation and destruction is a gamechanger in the area of key distribution and token security. The technology operates without the limitations and physical security needs of traditional tokens.”

The quantum computer is 158 million times faster than the most sophisticated supercomputer. It is widely known to be the next big threat to cyber technology. According to IST, Secure Chips technology delivers multiple post-quantum cryptographic algorithms that defeat attacks by Quantum Computing, Cryptanalysis, Statistical Analysis, Mathematical Analysis, and AI. The technology has successfully undergone and excelled in stringent government, academic, and military testing.

“The quantum emergence drives a global shift to post-quantum cybersecurity. Quantum-defying technology is the core element of secure communications infrastructures as well as military assets," explains Rico Jones. "IST’s cyber solution facilitates an intrusion-proof data exchange mechanism to overcome quantum computing threats.”

About Space EA

Space EA Systems is a minority-owned small business, with over four decades of DoD, NASA, and U.S. agency-experienced professionals providing advanced technology, acquisition, design, engineering, and R&D support to DoD space and ground system development. Space EA primary customers include U.S. Space Force and Space Systems Command (SSC).
