San Diego, California–(Newsfile Corp. – December 24, 2024) – Swerv Dating, the innovative platform disrupting traditional dating apps by prioritizing in-person connections, today announced the launch of its Ambassador Program, empowering users and influencers to help transform the dating app landscape while earning commissions. Swerv Dating Logo Unlike conventional dating apps that emphasize digital conversations, Swerv shows users where potential matches are in real time, helping them make better decisions about where to spend their evening. The platform plots matching users anonymously on a map, allowing people to see which venues have the highest concentration of compatible matches. To facilitate real-world meetings, users can only message their matches when they’re at the same venue. “We’re humans. We evolved to have that in-person connection,” explains Scott Demyon, founder and CEO of Swerv. “There are so many cues that happen in person with body language, personality, and emotion that you just don’t get through electronic interaction. That’s why we limit digital conversations to helping matches connect in person.” The Ambassador Program marks a significant shift in dating app promotion, moving away from traditional digital advertising to focus on authentic, community-driven growth. Swerv Ambassadors will receive unique promotional codes and earn commissions for premium membership upgrades, creating a direct link between successful real-world connections and ambassador rewards. “Say you’re heading out on a Friday night,” Demyon illustrates. “That bar has four potential matches for you, but the bar across the street has 23 potential matches that align with what you’re looking for. So now you change your plans-or ‘swerv’ your plans-to that bar across the street, dramatically increasing your chances of a meaningful connection.” Key features of the Swerv Ambassador Program include: The announcement comes as dating app users increasingly report frustration with traditional platforms’ focus on digital interaction and rising concerns about AI-powered fake profiles. Swerv’s approach is inherently “AI-proof” as it focuses on real-world meetings where authenticity is immediately apparent. “Traditional dating apps have destroyed our dating culture the same way social media has made us less social,” Demyon notes. “People shouldn’t be finding a partner from the solitude of their couch. They should be out meeting people in the real world, the tried and true way of meeting.” The platform’s sophisticated privacy features include anonymous profiles by default, geofencing capabilities, and movement detection to ensure user safety while encouraging real-world connections. Users appear as anonymous pins on a map until they choose to reveal themselves, maintaining privacy while facilitating organic meetings. The Ambassador Program launches today and is open to participants across the United States. Interested individuals can apply at swervdating.com/ambassador .

For Bluesky, Massive User Uptick Brings Growing Pains and Divisive BotsLiam Payne's girlfriend Kate Cassidy shares heartfelt post about grief at ChristmasA company that makes superconducting wire for the energy sector has pledged to invest $193.7 million in a production facility in Chatham County that it expects will create 333 jobs, Gov. Roy Cooper’s office announced Tuesday. MetOx International Inc., which has headquarters in Houston, Texas, is a leader in high-temperature superconducting, or HTS, technology across multiple industries. HTS is an advanced power delivery technology capable of transmitting extremely high power at low voltage with zero heat generation or energy loss. The state’s Economic Investment Committee earlier Tuesday approved a Job Development Investment Grant of about $3.18 million over 12 years if MetOx hits job and investment targets. Chatham County is providing incentives of $5.7 million. The company’s Chatham County manufacturing center will produce the company’s Xeus HTS wire, which can make transmission cables up to 10 times more efficient than traditional copper cables, said Bud Vos, CEO of MetOx. “Establishing our new large-scale manufacturing facility in Chatham County is a pivotal step toward securing a reliable, domestic supply of HTS wire for the development of critical infrastructure in the United States,” Vos said. “This facility will not only deliver transformative energy technologies that strengthen our grid and reduce carbon emissions but also create high-paying manufacturing jobs in a community eager to lead in innovation. We are proud to partner with North Carolina to drive forward a resilient energy future built on cutting-edge science and strong local collaboration.” HTS technology is expected to revolutionize critical energy sectors, including power transmission, distribution and grid expansion, while also meeting the high-power demands of AI-driven applications and large data centers, the governor’s office said in a press release. HTS is also pivotal in enabling high-field magnet applications such as next-generation wind turbines, motors and generators for clean aviation and aerospace, advanced defense systems, and magnetic confinement fusion energy. Although specific wages will vary depending on job role, the average salary of the new positions is $75,132, bringing more than $25 million of annual payroll growth to the region. The current average wage in Chatham County stands at $48,413. Over the course of the 12-year term of the state incentives grant, economists in the Department of Commerce estimate the project could grow the state’s economy by $987.8 million. State payments will only occur following performance verification by the departments of Commerce and Revenue that the company has met its incremental job creation and investment targets. MetOx’s JDIG agreement could also move as much as $1.06 million into a fund that helps rural communities across the state attract business in the future.

TORONTO (AP) — Hannah Miller scored a power-play goal with 1:38 remaining in the game, lifting the Toronto Sceptres to a 3-1 victory over the Boston Fleet in the Professional Women’s Hockey League season opener on Saturday. With Boston standout Hilary Knight in the penalty box for a vicious boarding penalty on Sceptres defender Renata Fast, Miller made good on her rebound attempt on a shot by Daryl Watts with a half-open net. Fast recovered for an assist on the winner before 8,089 fans at Coca-Cola Coliseum. The Fleet challenged the goal, but video review deemed Miller’s shot was good. Sarah Nurse got Toronto on the board with a short-handed tally 11:50 into the first period and Emma Maltais added an empty-net strike with 12 seconds left. Boston’s Hilary Knight opened the scoring 3 minutes in, sending a slap shot past Toronto goalie Kristen Campbell, who registered 18 stops on the night. Toronto outshot Boston 41-19. Boston goalie Aerin Frankel, a big reason why her team advanced to the Walter Cup final last spring, had 38 saves. Sceptres: Billie Jean King MVP Natalie Spooner missed the season opener. The PWHL scoring champion underwent left knee surgery in June after getting injured in Game 3 of Toronto’s first-round series against Minnesota. Fleet: Defender Emma Greco played her first game for Boston. She was part of the Walter Cup-winning Minnesota team that defeated Boston in a three-game series last spring. With the game tied 1-1, the Sceptres failed to score during a 59-second 5-on-3 advantage midway through the second period. Boston blocked five shots during the span. Last year, Toronto enjoyed an 11-game win streak en route to its regular-season championship, including three wins against Boston. Boston will play its home opener on Wednesday, a rematch with the Walter Cup-champion Minnesota. Toronto visits Ottawa on Tuesday. AP women’s hockey: https://apnews.com/hub/womens-hockey
