Swell Realty and Swell Real Estate Co. Host Monthly Happy Hour Networking Events Supporting Local Charities

United States, 1st May 2025 — Swell Realty Co. and Swell Real Estate Co. have launched a new monthly happy hour series aimed at strengthening connections among real estate professionals while making a meaningful impact in the community. These events, which began in March, are open to all local real estate agents and feature a unique 50/50 raffle that benefits both attendees and charitable causes.

The happy hours are more than just networking opportunities—they’re community-driven gatherings where half of the raffle proceeds go to the winner, and the other half is donated to a local charity. “We wanted to create a space where agents from all brokerages could come together, build camaraderie, and also give back,” said Matt Langan, Owner of Swell Realty Co..

The initiative launched in March at VooDoo Brewing with great success. That month, the charity portion of the raffle was donated to support the families of two Virginia Beach police officers who tragically lost their lives in the line of duty. In April, the happy hour was held at Back Bay Farmhouse Brewery, where funds raised went to support homeless veterans through the Judeo Christian Outreach Center.

Swell Gives Back, founded in 2023 as the non profit entity of its parent company, Swell Real Estate Co., has also helped contribute.

Swell Gives Back’s principal mission is to help those neighbors in need and in the communities where Swell agents work and live.

Swell Gives Back’s primary source of donations come from the agents of Swell Realty and Swell Real Estate who graciously contribute portions of their commissions in an effort to help fund the organization’s charitable initiatives.  These include but are not limited to: Toys for Tots, Salvation Army, local homeless shelters, shoes for local school kids, families of slain police officers and other worthy causes.

The next happy hour is scheduled for May 15th at Union Taco in Norfolk, continuing the company’s mission to uplift the community while fostering professional connections. Local agents are encouraged to attend, enjoy an evening of casual networking, and participate in the impactful raffle.

“Our vision is simple,” Langan added. “We want to build stronger ties within the real estate community while providing real help to those in need. Every ticket sold is a step toward both goals.”

The happy hour events reflect Swell Realty’s broader commitment to social responsibility and community engagement. By combining business networking with purposeful giving, the firm is setting a new standard for what it means to be a local industry leader.

AliX Pay unlocks access to over 34 million merchant endpoints across Southeast Asia

As businesses across Southeast Asia look to expand access for crypto-native users, AliX Pay has emerged as a key infrastructure provider, enabling seamless liquidity flow between digital assets and traditional retail systems. The platform now connects with over 34 million merchant acceptance points in Indonesia, the Philippines, and Vietnam — three of the region’s most dynamic and rapidly growing crypto markets.

Rather than positioning itself as a consumer-facing payment company, AliX Pay provides backend liquidity solutions that allow e-wallets, e-commerce platforms, and QR payment networks to accept crypto-originated value while ensuring merchants continue to receive local fiat. The infrastructure requires no hardware upgrades, no changes to merchant operations, and is built with regulatory flexibility in mind for each jurisdiction.

From blockchain to checkout – quietly embedded, widely scalable

AliX Pay integrates directly with national QR systems like QRIS (Indonesia) and QRPH (Philippines), as well as InstaPay and major e-wallets including GCash, Maya, GrabPay, and Coins.ph. This unlocks a seamless bridge between crypto-originated value and fiat retail networks, without disrupting existing merchant infrastructure.

In Vietnam — home to one of the world’s most active crypto communities — AliX Pay is positioned to support platforms looking to tap into a fast-growing user base, while maintaining compliance-aligned, operationally familiar merchant flows.

Why it matters

 

  • 34M+ retail endpointsnow technically able to accept crypto-originated transactions
  • No changes needed to merchant setup– existing QR codes can be used
  • Merchants receive fiat, ensuring simplicity, transparency, and accounting alignment
  • A strong fit for e-wallets, fintech apps, and Web3 platforms expanding payment utility

AliX Pay is becoming a quiet enabler of real-world crypto adoption in Southeast Asia — where traditional retail and the Web3 economy are starting to converge.

About AliX Pay

 

AliX Pay is an infrastructure layer that enables liquidity routing between crypto and fiat, powered by Aliniex. Its solutions allow partners to accept transactions from crypto users, while keeping merchant-side operations entirely fiat-based — no hardware installation, no accounting disruption, and no direct handling of crypto assets.

The platform also offers SDKs, APIs, and a management dashboard, making it easy for fintechs, e-wallets, and Web3 platforms to integrate — and scale user access in a region where regulation is still evolving.

DuraFast Label Company Offers Free Thermal Transfer Ribbon Samples to Help Customers Find the Perfect Match

Cheyenne WY, 1st May 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, DuraFast Label Company, a trusted leader in high-quality label printing solutions, is making it easier for businesses to choose the right thermal transfer ribbon by offering free ribbon samples. This initiative allows customers to test ribbon compatibility with their thermal transfer printers and label materials before making a purchase, ensuring optimal print quality and long-lasting durability.

Selecting the correct thermal transfer ribbon can be challenging, especially with varying requirements across industries. Factors such as heat resistance, chemical exposure, and outdoor durability play a crucial role in determining which ribbon is best suited for a particular application. By providing free sample ribbons, DuraFast Label Company helps businesses eliminate guesswork and avoid costly mismatches.

Many businesses rely on thermal transfer printing for barcodes, shipping labels, product packaging, asset tags, and industrial labeling. However, choosing the wrong ribbon can result in poor adhesion, faded prints, or smudging—compromising the readability and durability of labels.

DuraFast Label Company offers three main types of thermal transfer ribbons, each designed for different applications:

  • Wax Ribbons– Best for printing on paper labels, offering an affordable and reliable option for shipping, retail, and warehouse labels.
  • Wax-Resin Ribbons– A more durable choice that provides enhanced smudge and scratch resistance, ideal for product labeling, healthcare, and logistics.
  • Resin Ribbons– The most durable option, offering superior resistance to heat, chemicals, and outdoor conditions, making it perfect for industrial, pharmaceutical, and asset tracking applications.

Many companies struggle to determine which thermal transfer ribbon will work best with their specific thermal printer and label material. This is particularly true for resin ribbons; as different formulations offer varying levels of protection against harsh environments. DuraFast Label Company’s free ribbon samples allow customers to test different ribbons in real-world conditions before making a purchase.

A DuraFast Label Company spokesperson highlighted the benefits of this initiative:

“Selecting the right thermal transfer ribbon is essential for businesses that rely on high-quality, durable labels. Whether you need heat-resistant, chemical-resistant, or outdoor-durable ribbons, our free sample program helps customers find the perfect fit for their printing needs. This ensures they achieve long-lasting, high-resolution prints without worrying about smudging, fading, or premature wear.”

By offering free ribbon samples, DuraFast Label Company is committed to helping businesses optimize their thermal transfer printing process. Customers can request a free ribbon sample online and test it with their printer and label material before committing to a full purchase.

With hundreds of thermal transfer printers on the market, including models from Zebra, Datamax, Toshiba, Sato, and Honeywell, finding the right ribbon match can be overwhelming. DuraFast Label Company simplifies the process by allowing customers to test different ribbon options, ensuring seamless compatibility and maximum performance.

About DuraFast Label Company

DuraFast Label Company is a leading provider of label printing solutions, specializing in thermal transfer ribbons, color label printers, and custom labeling products. With a commitment to quality, innovation, and customer satisfaction, DuraFast helps businesses enhance their labeling process with top-tier printing technology and materials.

CGTN Poll: Trump’s approval rating plummets after 100 days in office

One hundred days into his second term, U.S. President Donald Trump and his “America First” policy are facing mounting challenges, according to new CGTN polls.

In February and April this year, CGTN conducted two global public opinion surveys involving 15,947 respondents from 38 countries.

Findings show a sharp decline in American public satisfaction with Trump’s governance. His tariff-centric approach and “America First” policy have triggered growing pessimism among respondents from both traditional U.S. allies and the Global South regarding future relations with the United States. The administration now faces a serious global trust deficit.

Global confidence in the U.S. declines

In the April survey, 48.9 percent of American respondents expressed dissatisfaction with Trump’s performance since taking office. Of those, 53.1 percent criticized his “reciprocal tariffs” policy for damaging the U.S. stock market, while 60.4 percent believed his domestic economic policies failed to control inflation and instead caused price increases. Meanwhile, 54 percent expressed serious concerns about his interest rate policies.

Discontent is also rising globally. Respondents from key U.S. allies expressed deep concern over strained ties with Washington. In France, Germany, Canada, Japan, and South Korea, more than 70 percent of respondents were pessimistic about their countries’ future relations with the U.S. Many cited the belief that the “America First” doctrine has made the U.S. less attentive to its allies. This sentiment was strongest in South Korea, where 87 percent strongly agreed, and over 70 percent in the UK, Germany, Canada, Australia, and Italy shared the view.

Likewise, confidence among Global South countries has rapidly declined. Of the 23 surveyed, 19 expressed pessimism about future ties with the U.S. In South Africa, Egypt, Peru, Indonesia, and Malaysia, optimism dropped by more than 20 percentage points.

Tariff bullying damages global public’s goodwill towards the U.S.

Both surveys found widespread opposition to U.S. tariff policy. Some 74.2 percent of global respondents believe the policy will seriously harm their countries’ economic development – a figure up 16.3 percentage points in just two months. Disapproval grew most in Saudi Arabia and Serbia, where negative views surged by 28.5 percentage points.

In Southeast Asia, countries like Vietnam, the Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia, and Malaysia – seen as “hard-hit areas” of U.S. tariffs – have shown growing resistance. Among respondents in these five countries, 60.2 percent believe “strengthening export controls and unilateral sanctions” harms their national development, up 15.5 percentage points from the previous survey. Meanwhile, 69.4 percent opposed “limiting investment by foreign technology enterprises” (up 14.3 percentage points), and 61.5 percent viewed U.S. “reducing dependence on foreign imports and supply chains” as detrimental to their countries (up 12.3 percentage points).

China’s firm countermeasures against U.S. tariffs received strong global backing. In 37 out of 38 countries surveyed, majorities supported China’s actions. Support among developing countries was especially strong – 13 countries, including Kenya, Egypt, Brazil, Kazakhstan, Nigeria, Malaysia, the UAE, and South Africa, saw support rates above 70 percent, with Kenya topping the list at 82.5 percent. Among developed countries, the UK led the G7 with a 70.5 percent support rate, followed by Canada (69.5 percent), Germany (66 percent), and France (65.5 percent).

The surveys were jointly conducted by CGTN and Renmin University of China via the Institute of International Communication in the New Era. Respondents included individuals from developed countries such as the U.S., the UK, France, and Japan, as well as from developing nations including Mexico, South Africa, and Malaysia.

Kristina Shinkareva, COO, added: “This recognition belongs to our entire team — engineers and developers, data analysts, customer specialists, and every talent of Reputation House — whose hard work has turned big ideas into practical solutions that companies rely on every day.

This year, Reputation House launched a full-scale technological transformation, unveiling four top-tier solutions that put complete online reputation control in clients’ hands.
