How to Pick the Right Credit Card for Yourself

Dec 17, 2023 | Business

Selecting the best credit card from a plethora of options can be tedious. While one may offer benefits like redeemable points, the other may provide attractive cashback options. With so many choices available, choosing one that would help you earn the best rewards as you spend can get confusing.

However, this limitation can be easily tackled by simply narrowing down the choices based on a few factors discussed below:

What to Look for in a Credit Card?

Identify the Reason

Before you apply for a credit card, it is necessary to identify the reason for applying for one. For instance, if you want to get a credit card to simply make purchases and are not too concerned about receiving rewards, you may want to select one with flexible features and a sufficient credit limit. You can then easily filter out the options that do not meet your requirements.

Select the Credit Card Providing the Best Value

Once you have filtered out the options that do not fit your needs, you can further narrow down the choices according to the value they offer. For example, if you have to compare two rewards credit cards, you can select the one that offers points that never expire. If both offer this option, you can compare other factors, such as interest rates and whether the cards come with late fee penalties. You may also want to check if your shortlisted cards offer additional value, such as higher cashback earn rates for specific spending categories, travel privileges or in-store purchase discounts. By comparing credit cards , you can make an informed decision and select the one that aligns with your needs.

Benefits and Features

Almost all credit cards charge an annual fee. While selecting one, it is crucial to know the amount that will be charged annually so it doesn’t come as a setback when you have to pay for it. Apart from these factors, you can compare the sign-up bonus and joining rewards offered by your selected cards to make the best choice. You may also check if your shortlisted credit cards offer additional benefits, such as complimentary airport lounge access, cash rebate, and exclusive discounts and rewards redemption options.

Final Thoughts

Credit cards come with a diverse list of features and benefits, so selecting the right one can prove to be beneficial. Choosing a credit card that aligns with your needs can not only ease the payment process but also allow you to take advantage of attractive rewards and cashback offers. You can check out the different types of cards available on the market and apply for the best credit card online today.

How to Select the Right Load Movement System

May 2, 2023 | Business

 AeroGo, manufacturer of innovative load moving equipment, launched a new seven-episode podcast, called, “Select the Right Load Movement System.” The podcast, available wherever podcasts are available, addresses critical questions to consider when determining the best method to move heavy objects in industrial settings. Each episode covers a specific question used to narrow down the choices available to the listener’s situation. Potential solutions may include a crane, conveyor, air cushion vehicle, forklift or other industrial truck, transfer cart, drag chain, rail system or other systems.

Each move system has different strengths and weaknesses. Sometimes the need for flexibility will override cost as a consideration. Other times, the sheer weight of the load might drive the decision over any other requirement. Situational factors, the facility or environment, or other needs can all affect the decision. Beyond raw cost and logistical feasibility, the floor condition, time to implement, safety risks, and cost can affect the decision.

Listen to “Select the right load movement system” anywhere you get podcasts, or scan the QR code or visit www.aerogo.com/about/podcast.

Founded in 1967, AeroGo manufactures innovative load moving equipment, utilizing wheels and hovercraft technology, to move heavy, awkward, or delicate loads in industrial settings. We collaborate with our customers to find a load moving solution that is safe, efficient, and cost-effective.

NOLA on Tap Returns; Yeah You Right Events Tabbed to Bring Back Louisiana’s Largest Beer Festival

Dec 10, 2022 | Business

 NOLA on Tap, the beloved New Orleans beer festival in support of the Louisiana Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (LASPCA), will return to the festival calendar in 2023.

Yeah You Right Events, a new partnership between Top Taco and Food Fight producer Shane Finkelstein and restaurateur and Cinco de Mayo Fest producer Oscar Chimal, will take charge of the popular homebrew and craft beer festival. While some changes will be in store for NOLA on Tap, the LASPCA will remain sole beneficiary of the event.

“Top Taco and Food Fight have become can’t-miss food festivals in the city. Yeah You Right Events aims to make NOLA on Tap look more like those events while still retaining many of the features that made it one of the largest beer festivals in the country,” said event producer Shane Finkelstein.

Homebrewers will still battle it out for coveted awards and top-notch live musical acts will still grace the stages, but NOLA on Tap will now be a 21 and over ticketed event, and move from City Park on the fall calendar to Lafreniere Park on March 18th, 2023 from 2pm-7pm.

“We really wanted to take NOLA on Tap out of hurricane season,” said event producer Shane Finkelstein. “We love Lafreniere Park for the type of events that we do and its proximity to the city. It really is the perfect venue for medium-sized festivals.”

Other changes will include an all-inclusive ticket package for beer-lovers and a VIP Experience that will include a crawfish boil, open bar, signature beers, lounge seating, private restrooms, and additional food and entertainment.

Early bird tickets will start at $10 for “Designated Drivers” and $35 for unlimited beer samples, while all-inclusive VIP tickets will start at $95 and end up at $125 at the gate.

“We are so excited to have Yeah You Right Events bring back NOLA on Tap,” says CEO of the LASPCA, Ana Zorrilla. “We couldn’t have asked for a better group to bring it back after a 3 year-long hiatus.”

When NOLA on Tap was conceived back in 2009, Abita Brewing was the only brewery in Louisiana. Today, there are over 40 breweries in the state and dozens more around the Gulf Coast. The goal of Yeah You Right Events is to have every local and regional brewery represented at this year’s festival.

“From Gnarly Barley and Urban South to NOLA Brewing Company and Bayou Teche, we now have some of the best breweries in the country right in our backyard,” said Oscar Chimal.

A craft beer competition will be added to NOLA on Tap so festival-goers and celebrity judges can vote for their favorite Pilsners, Lagers, Porters, Sours, and Stouts.

Another feature added to the festival will be the Doggie Drag Show presented by Petcetera. Come out and watch our lovable pups strut their stuff on the runway and sign up to be a foster for those waiting to be adopted.

The goal is to raise $100,000 for the LASPCA so they can continue to do the important work they do in our community.

Tickets will go on sale on December 15.

Step right up to Circus Electrique, Zen Studios’ steampunk-circus RPG coming September 6

Jul 22, 2022 | Business

Zen Studios’ lead writer explains what makes it different and how it all came to be

WEBWIRE –



Sometime in late 2019, a small team of creative minds within Zen Studios pitched an idea to the rest of us: “Let’s make an RPG set in a steampunk version of London where all your playable heroes are circus performers.” Pretty much everyone who read the pitch—myself included—reacted in a manner that I hope you share upon hearing such a premise: “What a crazy idea… I love it!” Just a few weeks away from the September 6 release of  Circus Electrique, allow me to reflect on how it all came to be—and other ways the game differentiates itself from other RPGs, as well…


Making a game we ourselves want to play


The idea for a project first referred to as “Circus Scandal” came about when team members fresh off other Zen Studios RPGs like the first-person dungeon-crawler Operencia: The Stolen Sun, tactical roguelite Dread Nautical, and 4X genre mishmash CastleStorm II all expressed our desire to bring another RPG to life. At Zen, it’s important that we make the kinds of games we ourselves want to play…and it just so happened that in recent years, a certain relatively new subgenre of RPGs had particularly enthralled many of us, best exemplified by Darkest Dungeon. And amidst that darkness, a lightbulb went off: “We enjoy this kind of a game. Let’s make our own.”


Steampunk offers a unique aesthetic


But what exactly was the best way to make a game like Darkest Dungeon “our own”? We realized early on, the first step was to present a unique aesthetic. High fantasy is cool and all, but what if we took things someplace else? What if we didn’t even have any knights or mages or orcs or elves or dragons? (Not even a single dungeon, poorly lit or otherwise!) What if we…went steampunk? 


That was designer Andras “Babar” Klujber’s idea, to which pretty much all of us said, “Steampunk is great! We love steampunk! Why aren’t there more steampunk games? Let’s change that.” Before we knew it, we found ourselves researching the era…which led to finding awesome circus posters like these…


So that got us thinking…circus performers have their own unique special abilities, don’t they? What if they used them to fight? What if it were up to these circus folk to save a late-Victorian steampunk London from common citizens gone mad? What if the electrical innovations of the day from the likes of Tesla, Edison and Westinghouse were really amped up (pun absolutely intended)? Not a whole lot of games with a premise like that out there.


Driven by story


Now we had our basic idea—a steampunk RPG where you fight as circus performers against everyday people gone “barmy.” But how do we make that make sense? That’s where another one of our key differentiators came in: a greater emphasis on story. Something more narrative driven—maybe even more influenced by JRPGs.


To summarize things simply, the world of Circus Electrique was identical to our own until 1873, when a great innovation revolutionized electricity, sending the timeline in a more steampunk direction. Our story takes place 26 years later, after a terrible event known as the Maddening has caused everyday people to attack innocents, seemingly beyond their own will. Mysteriously immune to the Maddening, performers in the Circus Electrique join our protagonist Amelia on a quest to find out how this all happened, and how to stop it.


Accessible difficulty and atypical RPG heroes


Circus Electrique’s uniqueness doesn’t stop at aesthetics and story. For one thing, we know that a lot of players find this particular RPG subgenre to be overly punishing. Though not without challenge, Circus Electrique aims to be a game you’ll not only want to complete…but actually will! We’re easier…but not too easy.


It’s also worth another mention that these aren’t your typical RPG heroes. Character classes like Strongmen, Knife Throwers, Human Cannonballs and even Robot Bears—15 all together—are a welcome change of pace from more fantasy-focused archetypes.


Circus planning


And finally, because everyone knows the show must go on, there comes Circus Electrique’s “tycoon-like” aspect—planning a circus. This takes the form of an intricate, almost-puzzle-gaming experience where placing the best roster of characters based on their likes and dislikes directly relates to the show’s success. It’s the kind of thing that can take you a minute or an hour, depending on how much you want to think about it.


On behalf of the team, we couldn’t be more excited to present our unique vision to you very soon. Please let us know what you think once Circus Electrique hits your PlayStation of choice on September 6.
