Prestigious Parisian arts venue funded by San Francisco-based private financial group finds creative and lucrative solution to the COVID-19 crisis by reinventing itself through open-air, futuristic, socially distanced street food pop-ups.

San Francisco, California, USA., September 14, 2020 -- Manifesto Holding PLC (“Manifesto”), one of US Capital Global’s portfolio companies, is a UK-based parent company that owns a host of highly popular arts, music, and culture clubs in Paris, including Wanderlust, Beau Regard, and Joséphine, among others. Despite the COVID-19 crisis, which has forced many hospitality venues around the world to close their doors, Wanderlust, the famous Parisian nightclub boasting the largest terrace in Paris, has impressed investors and club fans alike by reinventing itself into an open-air, futuristic, socially distanced street food pop-up, complete with live DJing and celebrity chefs.

Situated in the 13th arrondissement with unobstructed views of the Seine, Wanderlust is accustomed to over 4000 guests each evening, and since the relaunch of its new incarnation as a street food pop-up, the numbers have remained high.

“From the very beginning of confinement, we understood that the club may have to remain closed for a large portion of the year, so we started creating a new format,” explained Manifesto CEO and founder of Wanderlust, Arnaud Frisch. “We’ve designed a system to ensure safe, socially-distanced dining through mandatory pre-booking, ordering and payment via our online menu, and a QR code directing customers to their seat. Utilizing technology has reduced queuing times, and our staff save time too. We’re looking to keep this system in place beyond the confinement and develop it in the future.”

Celebrity chef Alexia Duchêne, known for her role on season ten of Top Chef, is the well-loved face of Wanderlust Street Food. “Alexia was our first choice because she embodies the values we seek to promote through Wanderlust,” said Frisch. “We strive for a young, fresh approach, serving an enticing, sustainable menu with locally-sourced ingredients in solidarity with small French businesses.”

Waste-reduction is an essential part of Wanderlust Street Food’s model, and aside from using biodegradable dishware and cutlery, all surplus food is distributed through the Too Good To Go app.

“When we take on a portfolio company, we look at the management team and see if they have the creativity to adapt to changing social and economic challenges,” said Jeffrey Sweeney, Chairman and CEO at US Capital Global. “In 2019, US Capital Global anchored a term loan syndication for Manifesto from its own balance sheet. Manifesto’s leadership has demonstrated ingenuity and nimbleness, responding to unfavorable circumstances by generating new sustainable avenues for their venues, staff, and clientele. As a result, they continue to thrive and inspire others during this COVID-19 crisis.”

Seeks $20 million from private investors for innovative “Uberized” approach to loans.

Denver, CO, Sep 14, 2020 -- Ripe Now, a strategic private lending FinTech company that uses a mobile technology and “Uberized” business model, is scheduled to virtually pitch to investors at the next Girl Get That Money Pitch (GGTM) Interview Series on September 17, 2020. The company is seeking $20 million in equity capital to expand its operations. Ripe Now originated from a partnership between Ripe Funding and Fin Sol Group and have deployed $250 million into the marketplace to date.

“Our success so far has been based on our technological innovations, coupled with the reality that the traditional banking system has failed in its most essential mission, which is lending,” said Philippa Burgess, CMO & COO of Ripe Now. “The reality is that lending simply has not caught up to technology. In the last decade, so many once complex transactions have been reduced to a push button interface, a phenomenon known as ‘Uberification.’ We’re taking this concept to the business of lending.”

The private lending category is growing rapidly, with many players offering consumers and small businesses the opportunity to borrow money outside of traditional banking channels. What sets Ripe Now apart from the pack is its technology platform, which enables it to enroll independent lending agents across the country. This shared economy model empowers the agent
to generate income from private lending.

The pitch will take place on a program offered by Girl Get That Money (GGTM), an online talk show series that matches investors with entrepreneurs. Khadijah Adams, the moderator of the show, is a longtime business empowerment coach, entrepreneur, and accredited investor who frequently mentors early stage businesses.

The show takes place at 11AM PDT on Thursday, September 17, 2020. To register, click here: https://www.khadijahadams.com/event-details/fintech-lending-a-marriage-made-in-technology

If you’re doing structural work that may affect a wall you share with a neighbour, you’ll need to come up with a party wall agreement first. As required by the Party Wall Act 1996, the agreement (which can be mediated by party wall surveyors in London) gives you access to the said shared property while protecting the interests of your neighbours.

When Do You Need A Party Wall Agreement

Party wall refers to a wall that serves as the boundary of land that belongs to two or more different owners. It can also refer to a garden wall located on the boundary line between your and your neighbour’s home.

If you’re doing alterations that can directly affect such a structure (or if the structure will be affected by any excavations that will be done three to six metres from it), party surveyors London advise that you enter into a party wall agreement first to comply with the Party Wall Act.

The agreement typically includes the guidelines

How the structural work will take place, the schedule or timeline of the project — as well as the condition of the structure during each phase of the project. It should also have the drawings and details of the proposed work to better help your neighbours picture out the output of the project. Other information such as your and your neighbour’s addresses, the surveyor’s details, and the details of the contractor’s public liability insurance also need to be included.

Complying With The Party Wall Act

If you will be the one to initiate the structural work, you will need to serve a party wall notice to your neighbours two months before the project begins (however, most party wall surveyors London recommend having an initial talk to better facilitate the agreement).

Your neighbour will have two weeks to respond. If he or she gives consent, you can proceed with the work. However, if he or she refuses, you’re advised to appoint a surveyor to help you negotiate an agreement. Take note that you can both hire a sole surveyor (called as an "agreed surveyor") to be more cost-effective and share the fees — or you can hire separate surveyors and let these professionals do the mediation. If the surveyors still don’t arrive at an agreement, a third surveyor is needed to adjudicate.

If you will be on the receiving end, as stated, you’ll have two weeks to respond to the notice. Go over the terms carefully so you can decide if it indeed protects your interests as a "co-owner" of the shared wall.

Throughout the duration of the project, the involved parties are expected to abide by the terms of the agreement. One party may seek compensation if they could prove that they suffered a loss due to the other party’s non-compliance.

APM Projects offers the services of the best party wall surveyors in London. From consultation to the actual creation and carrying out of the party wall agreement, they provide a wide range of services to help you undertake structural works affecting shared properties as hassle-free as possible.

LaTribuna Christian Publishing Reports On The Need For Bringing The Love and The Compassion of Christ Back Into American Healthcare

Phoenix, AZ, Sep 11, 2020 -- LaTribuna Christian Publishing’s CEO Chaplain Paul Vescio was recently interviewed on The Gary Baumgarten Report on Sept. 8 where he talked about the need of bringing the love and the compassion of Christ Yeshua back into American healthcare. Chaplain Paul was quoted saying, “Right now patients in nursing homes, care centers and medical rehabs are being separated, isolated and heavily medicated with psych meds and anti-depressants even to the point of losing their mental state of mind. Patients are being starved for attention, compassion, and love. And there it is right there, love, because in the absence of love the human condition dies, we die spiritually, emotionally, and yes even physically, we die a little more with each passing day.”

Chaplain Paul was also quoted saying, “There needs to be a safe, fair, compassionate pathway to visitation created in American healthcare providers. Love is the medicine we all need in order to have a healthy state of mind, body and soul. We have got to do more in making end of life issues more loving and humane in this country. Its not right that our loved ones, our neighbors, friends, co-workers etc. are having to go it alone when dealing with going to the hospital or having to live in a nursing home or medical rehab. The situation right now is absolutely tragic how these poor suffering people are being treated and, in my opinion, patients are being treated worse than prison inmates and zoo animals. Confining patients to their rooms 24-7 is very cruel and creates a very lonely existence for millions of patients across our nation.”

Chaplain Paul was also quoted saying, “Right now, in American healthcare end of life issues are horrifying at best. Most patients are having to go it alone without the hands-on support and love of family and Clergy. Patients are dying all alone or at best surrounded by total strangers. There is a better way at least for believers in Christ. Churches investing in buying and building nursing homes, care centers, medical rehabs, and group homes. Then they staff them with compassionate Christian doctors and nurses and staff members. Then the Church encourages the Body of Christ to volunteer in being caregivers and compassionate volunteers.

Believers in Christ can be trained as Chaplains and then when we enter into end of life issues we can be assured of being lifted up onto glory surrounded by caring, loving compassionate believers in Christ, Now instead of dying all alone we are surrounded by the love of the Body of Christ, now instead of dying filled with loneliness, worry, doubt , fear, anxiety, depression and having our life savings stripped away from us right before our eyes, now we are at peace knowing that God has provided for all our needs. It’s time to put the love and compassion of Christ back in end of life issues for the glory of God.”
