Actress Denise Dowse has died, her sister confirmed in an Instagram post. She was 64.
“I want to take this moment to thank our friends and family for all of the love and prayers. It is with a very heavy heart that I inform everyone that my sister, Denise Dowse has gone forward to meet our family in eternal life,” Tracey Dowse wrote Saturday evening.
The “Beverly Hills, 90210” actress was hospitalized Sunday and has spent the week in a coma fighting severe meningitis. Doctors did not say when or if she would wake up since the coma was “not medically induced.” She died less than a week later.
“Denise Yvonne Dowse was the most amazing sister, a consummate, illustrious actress, mentor and director. She was my very best friend and final family member,” the actress’ sister added in the post.
Tracey also addressed Denise’s supporters and fans.
“Denise loved all of you. I know that she is watching over us with all the love she has,” Dowse wrote.
Denise’s sister asked for privacy and continued prayers during this time. She will later provide information concerning Denise’s funeral or “her Celebration of Life,” she said.
Dowse concluded: “Again I am so grateful for all the calls, text messages, direct messages, and silent prayers for my sister. We could not have made it so gracefully and painlessly without all of the prayer warriors around the world. Thank you for giving so selflessly.”
Ian Ziering, a “Beverly Hills, 90210” co-star, responded to the post calling the death “insanely heartbreaking.”
“Throughout all my years working on Beverly Hills 90210, my scenes with Denise will always be remembered with the utmost in respect for her talent, and fondness for the loving soul she was,” he wrote. “Some of my heartiest off-camera laughs were between she and I hammering out the discipline her Mrs. Teasley would dish out to my Steve Sanders.”
“My sincere condolences to her family, and all others who she was dear to,” Ziering concluded.
Actor Jason Kelley (“Mayor of Kingstown,” “Murder in the First”), who said Denise was his first professional stage director and coach, said many of the actors her life impacted will continue to carry her legacy.
“Thank you for bravely sharing this sad news. So sorry to hear,” Kelley wrote. “The wisdom and standard she demanded provided the foundations of my theatrical craft. We enjoyed bragging about our Virginia roots and she encouraged me to trust my instincts. Over the years we’d bump into each other on the boards (occasionally at The Cork for a drink) and most recently at The Road Theatre. It felt like a reunion. She is and was a Mother Queen to many and her spirit is sown into the community.”
He added: “Her presence will be missed but her Essence is going to continue in those artists, friends and family she gave so much of herself to.”
Actor and director Larry Powell wrote: “My first acting mentor. Well, beyond that, life mentor. I love this woman so deeply. I am sending nothing but fierce love and prayers.”
“As many of you know I am a private person. So this is hard for me,” she wrote in an Instagram post. “I am requesting support and prayers be offered me and my sister, and my only immediate family @denisedowse.”
“She is currently in the hospital in a coma brought on by a virulent form of meningitis. Her doctors do not know when she will come out of the coma as it was not medically induced,” she added.
Denise Dowse is known for playing Mrs. Teasley on the teen drama “Beverly Hills, 90210,” and most recently portrayed Dr. Rhonda Pine on HBO’s “Insecure.” She starred in “The Guardian,” “Coach Carter,” and more.

Our mission is to make the world’s code safe, performant and reliable. We’re starting with a tool to catch JavaScript regressions in web applications with zero-effort from developers.
How it works: Insert a single line of JavaScript onto your site, and we record thousands of real user sessions. We then replay these sessions on new code to automatically catch bugs before they hit production. You can watch a 60-second demo at meticulous.ai.
We are a London-based YC company. Our engineering team previously worked at Dropbox, Opendoor and Google. We just raised $4m, and are backed by some of the best founders and technical leaders in Silicon Valley, including Guillermo Rauch (founder Vercel, author next.js), Jason Warner (CTO GitHub), Scott Belsky (CPO Adobe), Calvin French-Owen (founder Segment), Jared Friedman (YC partner and former CTO of Scribd) and a bunch of other incredible folks.
Catching JavaScript regressions is just the start. There is an entire category of products to build on top of replay. This ranges from automatic UI previews to revealing the performance impact of frontend code.
We want to change the way the world develops software, and influence software approaches for decades to come.
We are seeding a London office and hiring an onsite (a few days per week) founding engineer to join our team of two.
You will have autonomy in building out this technology, but here are a few problems you might work on:
– Build a distributed system to concurrently replay thousands of sessions, such that a developer gets a result in seconds.
– Speed up the replay of sessions in a way that retains determinism.
– Derive algorithms to detect sessions that cover differing code paths and edge cases, and ignore sessions that are too similar.
– Help build out a team of world-class, highly collaborative, software engineers.
As founding engineer, you get to shape the company, and build the culture and technology from the ground up.
What we look for:
In a sentence: Technically brilliant, delightful to work with, combined with a self-awareness and strong desire to improve. We also want to make sure everyone is highly supportive of each other; we win as a team.
We’re currently only looking to bring on folks with mid-to-senior level skill sets. You should have strong web fundamentals and a deep love for software engineering. Maybe you enjoy programming books like Clean Code, Designing Data Intensive Applications, Pragmatic Programmer etc. or enjoy hacking on interesting side projects. You value transparency and candid feedback, and are motivated by a strong desire to become the best engineer you can be.
What you get:
Compensation: We pay £100k-£160k+ in base salary, along with top of line benefits and perks. The equity grant will be between 0.5% and 3% (a 2% grant is $600k at last valuation) with employee-friendly terms (10 year exercise window on options). You can read about our values here https://sumptuous-lungfish-609.notion.site/Meticulous-values…
Learning: You will be given the space and time to up-level yourself as an engineer in terms of conferences, reading, or whatever you think will be most valuable. We will also set you up with mentorship, if you desire it, from top engineering leaders (folks running 100-engineer organizations at the world’s leading tech companies).
If this sounds interesting, please reach out to me at gabe [at] meticulous [dot] ai with “HN” in the subject line and 2-3 sentences about what you find interesting about Meticulous and your resume/LinkedIn/GitHub.

Facebook offers businesses new ways to connect with their audience, promote and sell products, and improve online visibility for their brand. The addition of shopping features such as Facebook Marketplace can also be leveraged by businesses to improve online conversions.
With over 140 million business accounts on Facebook, you may think competition is high. However, the right tactics and execution can help you create a Facebook Business Page that drives new revenue for your business.
Let’s review how to create Facebook business pages that increase your engagement, clicks, and revenue.
What Is a Facebook Business Page?
A Facebook Business Page is a stand-alone page that allows you to promote your business on one of the world’s biggest social platforms.
Facebook Business Pages are different from personal pages because they represent a business or brand, rather than an individual. This means the content on your Facebook Business Page needs to be brand-focused and professional.
A Facebook Business Page will let you share content, respond to customers, have conversations with your followers, and promote products within your feed.
You can also invite other people to manage your Facebook Business Page including any partners or outside agencies you may be working with.
Facebook Business Pages can also run paid Facebook ads to further promote your brand and products.
As you can see, it includes features a personal page doesn’t have, such as a “learn more” button, map, and a Like button.
Why Should You Create a Facebook Business Page?
When you create a Facebook Business Page you are helping people find your business and learn more about what you offer.
Your business page also helps you build an online community and better service your customers. Once you’re set up, your followers can interact with you and ask questions about your products and services in real-time, which is a great way to improve your brand integrity.
To create a great Facebook Business Page, you need to analyze everything, from your profile picture and cover photos to Facebook ads, target audience, and media planning (types of posts and when it’s time to post).
Here is a six-step guide to creating your Facebook Business Page.
1. Login or Sign-up to Facebook
First, you need to log in or join Facebook. You can create your Facebook page from your personal page if you prefer, or you can create an entirely new account for your Facebook business page.
Select the type of page you want to create, either a business/brand or community/public figure, and then click Get Started.
Here, you’ll be asked to supply some basic information.
The basic information you can add includes:
Page name: Which should be your business or brand name.
Business category: One or two words to describe your business. Facebook will give you options once you start typing. If your business falls under more than one category, try to pick the one your customers will associate with your business.
Description: A brief description of what you do, services you offer, and the purpose of your Facebook Business Page.
From there, click Continue. Moving forward indicates you have accepted Facebook’s Pages, Groups and Events Policies so familiarize yourself with these if you haven’t already.
2. Upload Cover Photo and Profile Picture
Your cover photo and profile picture are the main visual assets of your Facebook Business Page.
Many businesses use their logo for their profile picture, but you can choose any photo that represents your business and branding.
When choosing a profile picture, be sure to adhere to Facebook’s sizing guidelines to ensure your photo does not get cropped.
You’ll also want to add a cover photo when you create your Facebook Business Page. Your cover photo should be visually exciting and representative of your business and branding. Refer to the sizing guidelines for cover photo sizing.
Once you complete this step, your page will be automatically published.
3. Enter Your Business Information
Now that you have the skeleton of your page setup, it’s time to start adding content.
Your Facebook Business Page contains basic information about your business that you’ll need to fill in. This includes:
Contact: Share how your followers can contact your business if they have questions or concerns. This can include your phone number or email.
Location: Where you are located. If you don’t have a physical storefront, you can simply input your city and state.
Hours of operation: The hours you are open for business or available for customer communications.
Username: This is a unique username used in your Facebook interactions. This should be @ followed by your business name. Don’t get too creative here or it can make it difficult for your customers to find your business.
A CTA button is featured at the top right-hand of every Facebook Business Page, just below the cover photo.
It’s important to choose a relevant CTA to ensure you are directing your audience to the most pertinent actions.
For example, if you are a physiotherapy clinic looking to book more clients, your CTA button may say Book Now.
If you are an e-commerce business looking to sell products, then you may want to choose a CTA button that says Shop Now.
To edit your CTA button, click “+ Add a Button.”
From there, Facebook will give you a list of actions that your CTA could encourage. These include Start an Order, Book Now, Contact Us, and more. Choose your action and follow the steps given to complete your CTA button.
If you don’t choose a custom CTA here, Facebook will automatically create a Contact Usbutton for your page.
5. Publish Your First Post
Before you invite people to your Facebook Business Page, you should make a post so there is content for them to view.
Your first post can be a welcome post that explains who you are and what you do, or it can be something aimed at user-generated content (UGC) to get visitors engaged with your Facebook Business Page right away.
For example, a contest or giveaway can be a great way to drive immediate traffic. You can also promote sales or discounts to encourage your audience to browse and purchase your products.
Your Facebook Business Page is now ready to get traffic, so you can start inviting your audience to follow your page.
If you used your personal Facebook account to set up your page, you will be prompted to invite your Facebook friends. This group is usually a good base for your Facebook Business Page, so invite as many of your personal friends as you feel appropriate.
You can invite followers by clicking on the three dots “…” below your CTA button and clicking Invite Friends.
You can also use other channels to drive traffic to your Facebook Business page, such as your website, social media accounts, email marketing, and paid advertising campaigns.
How to Track the Success of Your FB Business Page
Now that you’ve created your Facebook Business Page, you’ll want to know how it performs and continuously optimize it to get better results.
There are many ways to track the success of your Facebook Business Page. Here are a few metrics you can track with Facebook Insights.
Engagement: Facebook uses an algorithm to show posts in your followers’ News Feeds. Posts that have higher engagement are seen as more popular and relevant, so they are more likely to show up. This means you want more likes, comments, and engagements on your posts to increase your reach. Pay attention to posts that perform well and find ways to mimic that engagement to ensure your Facebook Business Page is successful.
Reach: Reach refers to the number of people who see your content on Facebook. To see this, click on the Reachtab on your Facebook Insights page. Track and analyze your Reach regularly to learn what your audience likes and doesn’t like to better inform your post decisions.
Impressions: Impressions measure the number of times your post was seen, even if it was seen multiple times by a single user. You can find this in Facebook Insights by switching Reach to Impressions.Impressions can show you how viral your posts are and how likely they are to continuously impact your customers. Remember, it often takes a customer hearing about your brand seven times before they’ll convert to a customer.
Page likes and follows: Page Likes refer to the number of people that follow your Facebook Business Page. You can see this number on your Business Page homepage or through Facebook Insights under theLikes tab. While Page Likes are often considered a vanity metric, they are important to track the growth of your audience. If you find your page is plateauing and your Likes are not growing, it may be time to reevaluate your digital marketing strategy.

If You Need to Modernize, Equipment Financing and Leasing Can Make that Much More Affordable
Does your business need equipment? Some of it can be extremely expensive. For a new business in particular, affording equipment can feel like an impossible dream. But you have got to have that equipment to make money! How do you make it past this frustrating Catch-22? You do it with equipment financing and leasing.
What is Equipment Financing and Leasing?
Equipment financing is when you use a loan or lease to purchase or borrow hard assets for your business. It is a business financing option you can use to buy or lease any physical asset. Physical assets can include items such as a restaurant oven or a company car. See nav.com/business-financing-options/equipment-financing.
Why Do Companies Use Equipment Financing and Leasing?
A recent the Equipment Leasing and Finance Association (ELFA) survey found that 80% of American businesses lease a portion of their equipment. The list of companies using leasing ranges, from the Fortune 500 to a mom and pop store. See entrepreneur.com/article/225959.
Advantages
You will pay predictable amounts every month. You can build business credit on a program such as this. The equipment is great collateral, the lender probably will not want any other collateral.
You will often put down less money than you would if you were buying the piece of equipment. You may be able to negotiate flexible terms with an equipment lease. It is easy to upgrade equipment after your lease ends. This is helpful if your equipment is something like a computer which quickly becomes obsolete.
Disadvantages
You may have to pay a large down payment. You will often need to have good personal credit in order to qualify. If your financed equipment becomes outdated, your business is stuck with it until the end of the lease for loan.
Also, leases can often end up costing more than purchasing. When the lease ends, you will need a new lease or to make some other arrangement. Buying a piece equipment means it is yours to keep or to sell.
What equipment do you need and for how long? Do you want to bundle service, supplies, training, and the equipment lease into one contract? Have you anticipated your company’s future needs so you get adequate equipment? What is the total payment cost?
Important Things You Need to Know About Any Lease
Who will you be dealing with? Is there a separate company financing the lease? How long has the company been in business? Do you understand the terms and conditions during and at the end of the lease?
Is casualty insurance a requirement to cover damage to the equipment included? Who pays the personal property tax? What are the options regarding upgrading and trading in equipment before the lease period expires? Who is responsible for repairs?
Fair Market Value Leasing
Also known as an FMV lease. With an FMV lease, you make regular payments, while borrowing the equipment for a set term. When the term is up, you have the option to return the equipment, or purchase it at its fair market value.
$1 Buyout Leases
This is a type of capital lease. You pay off the cost of the equipment, plus interest, over the course of the lease. In the end, you owe exactly $1.
Once you pay the $1 residual. which is essentially a formality, you fully own the equipment. This type of lease is very similar to a loan in terms of structure and cost.
10% Option Leases
This lease is the same as a $1 lease. But at the end of the term, you have the option to buy the equipment for 10% of its costs. These tend to have lower monthly payments than a $1 buyout lease.
Here is an example. Let us say you are leasing a $25,000 piece of equipment. Call it a 10% option, and a 36 month term.
The value of the Equipment is$25,000. The interest Rate is 15%. The term Length is 36 months. The monthly Payment is $780. The total Cost of Leasing equals $28,079. And the cost to Purchase is $2,500. Hence the total Cost of Equipment is $30,579. See merchantmaverick.com/equipment-financing.
With the example, you would be paying an extra $5,579 over the course of the lease. That is over 1/5 more added, to your total cost for the equipment.
If you bought the equipment from the start, you would pay $25,000. So you would be in $25,000 in the hole from the beginning. But with leasing, you have not spent the total $25,000 until over 2 ½ years have gone by. In the meantime, you can invest that money or earn interest on it.

Equipment Financing and Leasing: Takeaways
Businesses often have fluctuating revenue. But they still have to have equipment. And for new businesses, they have to have equipment to get going, but they can never seem to be able to afford it.
This type of funding can be the ideal solution. There are advantages and disadvantages to leasing equipment, just like any other form of lease versus purchase. Credit Suite offers equipment financing and leasing. We help you navigate multiple dissimilar offers and make sense of it all. Let’s take the next step together.
