1st Edge Wins Advanced Technology International (ATI) OTA Contract to Develop Artificial Intelligence (AI) Solutions for US Army

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. /ScoopCloud/ -- 1st Edge, a leader in designing pragmatic solutions using Artificial Intelligence and new technologies, announced the win of a $46M Other Transaction Authority (OTA) contract to develop Artificial Intelligence solutions for the US Army. The contract continues an effort named Pragmatic Artificial Intelligence and New Technology (PAINT).

The Pragmatic AI and New Technology (PAINT) approach applies the science of AI and other new technologies to near-term, engineering solutions for missile defense. By using the PAINT approach, users are able to capture subject matter expertise in automated software systems, allowing a broader set of requirements to be satisfied through computer analysis. These automated systems can process tremendous amounts of data in a fraction of the time compared to current manual approaches.

"Advancements of AI in the laboratory are not translating to operational solutions fast enough to meet evolving threats.," states Tim McCarter, President of 1st Edge. "Integrating AI into current and future DoD programs is a major initiative for 1st Edge. Our mission is to close the gap and get sophisticated, innovative technology in the fight to augment the warfighter and support analysts."

Through this contract, 1st Edge will develop prototype software to streamline missile defense programs using Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) techniques. The three-year contract will be managed through the Combat Capabilities Development Command (DEVCOM) Aviation and Missile Center (AvMC).

"1st Edge has demonstrated the success of the PAINT concept which began as a Phase I SBIR, gained traction through a Phase II effort and resonated with a breadth of customers," said Nathan Claburn, Vice President of 1st Edge. "Now with additional funding 1st Edge will advance pragmatic solutions for multiple missile defense programs."

Breast Cancer Patient Seeks Help with Funding for Proven Alternative Cancer Therapy

OREGON CITY, Ore. /ScoopCloud/ -- When Dee Lake found out she had an aggressive form of breast cancer this past September, she decided to take matters into her own hands. Not typically the type of person to ask for help, she put her qualms aside and launched a GoFundMe campaign where she's asking for $45,500 - the amount needed to start treatments at CMN Hospital for Alternative Cancer Treatment. She's already been accepted as a patient, but her insurance doesn't cover this type of care. A bed is waiting for her 28-day treatment, but she needs financial help to begin.

Dee's breast cancer is invasive and fast-growing and has spread to her lymph; she has to act quickly.

"CMN's extraordinary treatment program could potentially save my life," she says. "I'm calling on everyone I know - and don't know - for their help and to be my angels. The hospital has a five-star rating on the world's largest cancer resource and I am hoping I will be able to get there quickly."

While $45,500 will pay for the initial 28-day treatment, any money raised above and beyond that amount will go towards add-on treatments and aftercare.

To date, Dee has met about 20 percent of her goal. While she's waiting to begin treatment, she's been working on writing a series of romantic short reads that are all about true love and have happy endings. As a small incentive, she's offering a free copy of one of these reads to anyone who donates on her GoFundMe page and leaves their email here: https://gofund.me/59a54c3e.

"Prior to writing these short reads, I was a health and wellness professional who had to quickly pivot when COVID hit," she says. "I'm a survivor. I'm calling on anyone and everyone to be an 'angel for Dee,'" she says. "I need my own happy ending."

Drink HRW Hydrogen Tablets Improve Markers of Aging in the Elderly

COQUITIAM, B.C. /ScoopCloud/ -- Aging is a reality that we all deal with, with age-related diseases creating a massive burden on our healthcare system. In recent years, researchers have begun exploring therapeutics that could potentially stave off, or even reverse, some of the deterioration associated with aging. Now, Drink HRW reports that a new randomized, placebo controlled clinical trial that followed elderly participants for 6 months, published online October 1st in Experimental Gerontology, explains that high doses of hydrogen water (HRW), delivered via hydrogen tablets, could be an effective strategy at improving multiple age-related measurements and outcomes in an elderly population.

The randomized, placebo-controlled cross-over trial compared the effects of chronic administration of hydrogen-rich water, created by hydrogen tablets, against baseline conditions and placebo control for numerous markers associated with the aging process in an elderly population (70+). Participants consumed either HRW, or placebo water, for 6 months. HRW lengthened telomeres, whereas the placebo group saw a decrease, improved brain metabolism, lowered subjective reports of pain, improved parameters within the senior fitness test, and led to strong trends regarding improvements in DNA methylation, increased antioxidant activity, and reduced oxidative stress.

Shortening telomeres have been hypothesized as being a causative factor in the aging process. As telomeres shorten, incidence of disease and deterioration increases, and survival outcomes decrease. Additionally, a decline in brain metabolism has been linked to onset of many neurological issues.

Sergej Ostojic, M.D., PH.D., Professor of Medicine at the University of Novi Sad, a senior author of the Experimental Gerontology study said, "We have been investigating hydrogen use in medicine in my lab for over a decade, and we already recognized its potential to improve metabolic health and every-day functioning in elderly. However, this study for the first time demonstrated its potential to improve several molecular and phenotypic biomarkers of aging. It's perhaps too early to say that hydrogen is an anti-aging compound but this study opens a new chapter in hydrogen research and implementation, and emphasizes several pathways linked with hydrogen action in the human body."

Alex Tarnava, Chief Executive Officer of Drink HRW said, "The aging process leads to deterioration and disruption in many of the key functions within our bodies. Molecular hydrogen has shown across 2000 publications and 120+ human studies to play a corrective role in restoring many of these proper functions, such as improving metabolic markers, promoting a healthy inflammatory response, and supporting the delicate harmony between our bodies natural levels of antioxidants and beneficial oxidative stressors. This is an important study that demonstrates the potential or high-dose hydrogen therapy to slow down, or even temporarily reverse, some of the deterioration aging causes."

Tarnava added, "At Drink HRW we deliver the highest dosage and concentration of hydrogen in water instantly available anywhere in the world, and we are committed to supporting research around the world to better understand this important and fascinating molecule. We work with researchers to search for the truth, believing strongly that the researchers, not private companies, should have the sole authority to decide if they will publish results. We believe pursuit of the truth and integrity in research is the best path towards long term growth."

Sergej Ostojic is a senior biomedical scientist with a broad research background in medicine, applied physiology, and nutrition. He is a board-certified M.D. and holds a Ph.D in Medical Sciences. Dr. Ostojic currently works as a full professor of biomedical sciences at the University of Novi Sad, and an adjunct professor at the University of Belgrade School of Medicine. His research expertise and experience include pre-clinical and clinical development of mitochondria-related nutraceuticals and nutritional supplements, tissue-specific metabolic assessment and translation, and work physiology.

He has authored more than 200 scientific papers, 30 book chapters and books, and 5 patent applications, and has been the recipient of internationally competitive research scholarships including a WADA Scientific Research Grant, the NSCA International Award, research grants from the World Health Organization and European Commission, and many industrial endowments.

Chelsea Groton Bank Named Top Workplace for 6th Straight Year – CEO Michael Rauh Recognized with Leadership Award

GROTON, Conn. /ScoopCloud/ -- Chelsea Groton Bank was recently named a Top Workplace in Connecticut for the sixth consecutive year, and Michael Rauh, the Bank's President and CEO, was presented with this year's Leadership award, both in the midsize employer category (150-499 employees).

"We've received many awards over the years, but being on the Top Workplace list during an incredibly difficult time really speaks to the resiliency and dedication of our team members. Our employees care deeply for their team, customer and community members, and focus on helping everyone accomplish their goals with a one person at a time mindset. This level of care and dedication is the reason why we were able to provide critical services to so many," shared Michael Rauh, President and CEO of Chelsea Groton Bank.

"This year we focused even more effort on ensuring inclusion and equity in every aspect of our business, and continued to provide growth, training and leadership opportunities to team members at every level. I'm also honored to be a recipient of the Leadership award, a recognition based on employee feedback, which is truly humbling and gratifying."

The annual Top Workplace Awards, sponsored regionally by the Hartford Courant, are based on the results of an employee feedback survey administered by Energage, a leading research firm that specializes in organizational health and workplace improvement. Fifteen aspects of workplace culture were measured, covering four main areas, including how well employees work together toward a common cause. Employees were asked about company values, whether new ideas are encouraged or if managers help employees learn and grow. Pay, benefits and training also are key questions.

Chelsea Groton employees noted that their contributions both in and out of the office are highly valued and that they are members of a close-knit work family. Many feel proud to perform meaningful work that improves the lives of their neighbors, and to be a part of an organization that helped so many facing difficult times during the last 18 months, including Chelsea Groton's Foundation giving over $1 Million to the community in 2020.

"We've always taken great care in selecting benefits and initiatives that contribute to our employees' health and wellbeing, and that's never been more important than with the personal and professional challenges and changes brought forward due to the pandemic," said Anne Wilkinson, SVP, Chief Human Resources Officer at Chelsea Groton Bank. "When teams were largely remote, we held virtual get-togethers, Zoom fitness classes, and employee appreciation days to keep our workforce engaged. As more people came back to the office, we offered safe opportunities for outdoor gatherings, such as ice cream socials at area creameries. We've also done our best to be flexible and understanding when it comes to personal circumstances related to the pandemic, like individual health, childcare needs, and caring for aging family members. We're thrilled our team felt our efforts to accommodate needs and show appreciation."

While Chelsea Groton offers traditional benefits for employees, the Bank also provides employees the opportunity to partake in a variety of continual education programs, and offers the Grow, Launch, and Lead leadership programs for team members at every level within the organization. Team members are invited to participate in a wellness program designed with incentives to track and challenge participants in physical, mental, and financial well-being. Community volunteerism, donations and supply drives have also always been a driving factor in bringing the team together.

Leadership Award

Michael Rauh has been President and CEO of Chelsea Groton Bank since December 2010. Over the last decade, he has not only led the Bank through the expansion of product, service and technology offerings, but he has emphasized a commitment to supporting each individual customer's needs and goals, and dedicating time and resources to the education and development of team members at every level. In addition to being honored with the Leadership Award, Rauh was also recently named Citizen of the Year by the Chamber of Commerce of Eastern Connecticut, and has led Chelsea Groton Bank to be named "Top Workplace" by the Hartford Courant and "Best Bank" by readers of The New London Day for six consecutive years, to be listed by Forbes as one of America's Best-In-State Banks, and to earn a 5-Star "Superior" rating for financial strength by BauerFinancial for over 25 consecutive years.

About Chelsea Groton Bank

Based in Groton, Conn., Chelsea Groton Bank is a full-service mutually owned bank with over $1.5 billion in assets. Chelsea Groton Bank's products and services include consumer banking, business banking, mortgage and business lending, cash management, financial planning and financial education programs.

Sales Boomerang releases Q3 2021 Mortgage Market Opportunities Report

WASHINGTON, D.C. /ScoopCloud/ -- Sales Boomerang, the mortgage industry's top-rated automated borrower intelligence and retention system, today released its Q3 2021 Mortgage Market Opportunities Report. Despite marketwide declines in loan volume, Sales Boomerang's report identified several fertile opportunities for mortgage lenders, including a high frequency of borrowers who are well positioned to refinance for a better rate, remove FHA mortgage insurance or tap into home equity.

Methodology

The Mortgage Market Opportunities Report draws on Sales Boomerang system data to identify market opportunities of relevance to today's borrowers and lenders. To generate the report, Sales Boomerang reviewed data from more than 150 residential mortgage lenders that use its borrower intelligence and retention tools to monitor millions of customer and prospect records. Sales Boomerang then calculated the aggregate frequency with which those contact records triggered loan-opportunity, prescriptive-scenario and risk-and-retention alerts during the second and third quarters of 2021.

Key Findings*

Sales Boomerang's loan-opportunity alerts identify the contacts inside a lender's database who are actively shopping for a mortgage loan or who may be able to benefit from a new mortgage loan. Across the sample group, the frequency of each alert type in Q3 2021 was as follows:

* Mortgage Inquiry Alert: 5.27% of monitored contacts (down 10.22% from Q2)

A customer or prospect has shopped with a competitor in the last 24 hours.

* EPO Alert: 2.23% of monitored contacts (down 8.23% from Q2)

A customer or prospect whose loan closed ≤ 6 months ago has shopped with a competitor in the last 24 hours.

* Credit Improvement Alert: 1.32% of monitored contacts (down 40.00% from Q2)

A customer or prospect has improved their FICO score.

* New Listing Alert: 1.04% of monitored contacts (down 24.09% from Q2)

A customer or prospect has listed their home for sale.

* Equity Alert: 8.02% of monitored contacts (down 6.20% from Q2)

A customer or prospect's home equity has increased.

* Rate Alert: 14.75% of monitored contacts (up 10.65% from Q2)

The interest rate of a customer or prospect's existing mortgage is significantly higher than current prevailing rates.

Sales Boomerang's prescriptive-scenario alerts analyze not only whether a consumer could benefit from a given loan type, but also whether or not the consumer is credit-qualified to apply for financing. This additional layer of intelligence makes prescriptive-scenario alerts among the highest-converting available to mortgage lenders today. The frequency of each alert during Q3 2021 was as follows:

* Cash-Out Alert: 4.31% of monitored contacts (up 291.82% from Q2)

A borrower is credit qualified and has built sufficient equity to tap into the cash in their home.

* Rate-and-Term Alert: 3.86% of monitored contacts (up 34.49% from Q2)

A borrower is credit qualified and can benefit from the current interest rates for a refinance.

* Debt Alert: 1.73% of monitored contacts (up 10.19% from Q2)

A borrower is credit qualified and can benefit from paying off other debts with the equity in their home.

* FHA MI Removal Alert: 7.27% of monitored contacts (up 366.03% from Q2)

An FHA borrower has exceeded 20% equity and can remove mortgage insurance (MI).

For a subset of lenders that maintain servicing portfolios, the frequency of risk-and-retention alerts was as follows:

* Risk & Retention Alert: 36.18% of monitored contacts (down 1.23% from Q2)

A customer is engaging in one or more of 15 credit activities that may put their serviced loan at risk

Analysis*

* Many FHA borrowers with mortgage insurance are unaware they have the option to remove their MI once they reach 20% equity. With a 366% quarter-over-quarter increase in FHA MI Removal alerts, lenders have the opportunity to deliver immediate monthly savings to borrowers.

* Although the frequency of Equity alerts fell slightly from Q2 to Q3, nearly one in 12 borrowers saw significant home equity growth over the last quarter. Moreover, the almost 300% quarter-over-quarter increase in Cash-Out alerts shows that borrowers have grown their credit scores alongside their equity, paving the way for more cash-out refinance and HELOC activity in the coming months. The strong performance of equity-based alerts is underscored by key observations from the latest CoreLogic Homeowner Equity Report, which found that the average homeowner gained $51,500 in equity during the past year while U.S. homeowners as a whole have seen their equity increase by a total of nearly $2.9 trillion since the second quarter of 2020.

* As long as interest rates remain low, refi opportunities remain on the table for many borrowers. This opportunity is apparent in the continued quarter-over-quarter growth of the Rate and Rate-and-Term alerts. However, with Mortgage Inquiry and EPO alerts both showing quarter-over-quarter decreases, lenders will need to be proactive in reaching out to potential refi customers, as many eligible customers do not appear to be shopping for rates on their own.

* With market experts long predicting a late 2021 home purchase boom, the 24% quarter-over-quarter decrease in New Listing alerts suggests lenders may need to revise their year-end revenue forecasts.

* Risk & Retention alerts held nearly steady from the second quarter. With more than one in three borrowers exhibiting risky credit behaviors, mortgage servicers should keep a close eye on their portfolios for default risk.

"As industry experts have predicted, we are starting to see the refinance market slow - and the purchase market has not yet picked up the slack," said Sales Boomerang CEO Alex Kutsishin. "Still, the big-picture view says we are still in the midst of a housing boom. Ample purchase and refinance opportunities remain, and our data intelligence points to myriad ways lenders can improve borrowers' financial position with the right loan product."

New Book, ‘The Origin of Language’ – The first scientific proof that finally explains the mystery no one has yet to figure out

SUNNY ISLES, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- Mr. Joe Lanyadoo is publishing his second book "The Origin of Language." The first scientific proof that finally explains the mystery no one has yet to figure out; how language, an ability that required 4 simultaneous mutations in 4 different organs in a group of related people just appeared in humans. Language is a human species specific trait meaning it didn't evolve, it just showed up.

THE THEORY:

All languages are made up of Hebrew Letter meanings that are encoded in our DNA. The Torah says: God Inserted Letter meaning not words into Adam that's why god asked him to name everything, to create words by connecting those letters.

Professor Alec Marantz a linguistics professor at MIT has shown using EKG that the brain looks at each word as a sentence; he said, "We would see the same pattern of brain activity within a word as within a sentence, though more compressed in time." He is saying the brain is trying to understand each letter.

THE METHODOLOGY:

Reversing the process. Decoding English words using Hebrew letter meanings. I first cut words to letters and then decode them using consonantal Hebrew letter and word meaning.

THE EVIDENCE:

3000 decoded English words with clear Hebrew meaning using consonantal Hebrew letter.

All our Linguist geniuses didn't notice Because No one cuts words to letters.

Theory | Tioury | Description

Positive | po-si-tivy | Here-this good

Cloud | Coolo Ed | All Vapor

Artillery | Ar-till-yery | Light missile shoot

Procedure | p-ro-cedura | Here see arrangement

Illusion | Illusia -elou ze haya | as if it happened

Automatic | auto matic | copy its letters

Alternative | alter nativa | changed path

Automobile | auto-mobil me (auti) | transfers me

Euphoria | yafeh or ya | pretty light of god

Euphemism | yafeh mishem | Prettier than its name

Macabre | Micaver | From the grave

Mr. Lanyadoo claims that Torah is the lost book of Tho that contains all the creation formulas. To and Rah are the names of the two Egyptian gods of Moon and Sun. Tho the scribe god wrote Torah and all myths. Mahabharata the Hindu "myth' was written by him. Ma Bara Ta means What Created Tho in Hebrew. To understand the bible one needs to read all myths as one. Without knowing who Tho and Rah and their father Anu, or Noon are, there is no way to understand the ToRah or language. They are represented by the numbers One-An, Two - Tho, Three - Thorah. And are given 3 Hebrew letters To, Raish and Noon. Accident or design?

Tho created letters and the Cell and gave them his name. Ta is Cell in Hebrew and oT is a letter. Jewish holidays are based on Moon cycles, Shab-at means Sat Tho. He is the first letter in Torah and the last in the Hebrew Alpha. Thank- Tho-Anik =Tho Bestowed. This is confirmed by research scientists.

With the advancement of DNA research Scientists recently concluded that life was created by intelligent design.

"None of the theories Protein first, DNA first or RNA first are able to explain the origin of complex information required for life. The first cells had to have both complex proteins and complex information needed to replicate both the proteins and the information.

"That some divine super engineer, in a single efficient strike, endowed humans with the power of language where formerly they had none." Not my words but direct quote from the Chomsky's NYT interview. An atheist who found god and changed his theory after I sent him mine.

I show that We speak hundreds of languages but the subconscious is literally programmed to understand only Hebrew Letter Meanings.

The difference between god and university professors is that god doesn't walk around pretending to be a university professor

I was told I am 'Navi Levav Hochma' The Prophet of the heart of Wisdom. Understanding the Hebrew letters, the Living Word, is the heart of wisdom. MC2=CMC Shin.Mem.Shin spells Sun in Hebrew.

HousingWire recognizes Sales Boomerang CEO Alex Kutsishin’s influence on the mortgage industry with 2021 Vanguard award

WASHINGTON, D.C. /ScoopCloud/ -- Sales Boomerang, the mortgage industry's top-rated automated borrower intelligence and retention system, today announced that Co-founder and CEO Alex Kutsishin was selected as a winner of HousingWire's 2021 HW Vanguard awards. The annual awards program recognizes leaders in the mortgage and real estate industries who have made a tangible impact on the housing economy by generating cutting-edge initiatives, products and services.

Kutsishin co-founded Sales Boomerang less than five years ago with the goal of changing the way lenders think about customer retention by creating the nation's first automated borrower intelligence system. His innovative and entrepreneurial spirit has quickly brought the company to prominence in the lending industry, earning it two HousingWire Tech100 awards and building revenue growth of over 3,800% in just its first three years of operation. Sales Boomerang now works with over 150 independent mortgage banks, banks and credit unions for whom it delivered $468 billion in loan opportunities last year alone.

"It is a privilege to be recognized in the highly-competitive HousingWire Vanguard awards," said Kutsishin. "Sales Boomerang would not have its current success without the efforts of our entire team, who have worked tirelessly over the past five years to develop the company into the number one customer retention strategy that it is today."

The highly-competitive HousingWire Vanguard Award recognizes C-Level leaders that are committed to the growth of the housing economy and its numerous sectors, including lending, servicing, investments and real estate. Receiving hundreds of nominations each year, editors and reporters and HousingWire select award winners who have undeniably made an impact on the industry at-large.

"The Vanguards have become one of the highest achievements in housing, and this year's list of award recipients represent an elite group of executives who proved to be resilient and adaptable throughout this past 18 months of extraordinary circumstances in the industry," said Clayton Collins, CEO of HW Media. "The 2021 Vanguards have proven to be true leaders, driving their organizations towards greatness, tackling challenges head on and making major waves in the housing market."

In the past year, Kutsishin oversaw the launch of Prescriptive Scenarios, Sales Boomerang's product line of 'smart' loan scenarios designed to identify the ideal loan for each borrower. By eliminating the loan discovery process, this new addition to the Sales Boomerang suite gives lenders real-time alerts to help them get a better picture of their client, anticipate their needs and build a stronger borrower-lender relationship. Advancements such as this one exemplify the reason why Kutchishin and Sales Boomerang are trusted by hundreds of the highest performing lenders of all types in the industry.

New Frontier adds Women’s Health Services

KANSAS CITY, Mo. /ScoopCloud/ -- New Frontier Mobile Diagnostics now offers diagnostic ultrasounds for Women's Health (OB/GYN), adding to the scope of on-site imaging capabilities available to patients. Access to Women's Health services is a critical factor in the health of women, regardless of child-bearing status.

According to a 2019 study by the Kaiser Family Foundation, women seeking basic gynecological care incur significantly greater health care costs (84% higher for ages 18-44, 21% higher for 45 and older) and are more likely to go without care because of cost.

During pregnancies, studies have shown that limited access to care can result in negative outcomes including premature birth, low birth weight, maternal mortality, severe maternal morbidity, and an increased risk of postpartum depression.

"By bringing affordable, quality care on-site, New Frontier hopes to eliminate some of the challenges that women face when seeking healthcare," said Jeff Blackwood, Founder of New Frontier. "Your zip code, race, and income shouldn't be the primary factors determining the quality of care you receive. We want to make these services available to women where they need it, when they need it."

In addition to Women's Health services, New Frontier continues to serve doctor's offices, clinics, and facilities with on-site diagnostic imaging for cardiac, vascular, and general ultrasound services.

Everest Rehabilitation Hospitals Announce Plans to Build Sixth 36-Bed Physical Rehabilitation Hospital in Florida

VIERA, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- Today, Dallas Texas based Everest Rehabilitation Hospitals announced the construction of a $24M physical rehabilitation hospital in Viera, Florida. With identical 36-bed, physical rehabilitation hospitals previously announced in S. Orlando (Kissimmee), E. Lakeland/Winter Haven, W. Palm Beach, St. Petersburg, W. Orlando (Ocoee), Florida, and now in Viera, Everest is clearly bullish on providing high quality physical rehabilitation hospital services for the citizens of Florida.

Everest Rehabilitation Hospitals has also constructed hospitals in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Ohio.

Everest's free standing physical rehabilitation hospital will be constructed on 4.1 acres of land in the Medical District of West Viera, Florida. Everest Rehabilitation Hospital operates and develops identical, modern, 40,000 square foot, 36-bed, single story comprehensive physical rehabilitation hospitals. Everest's hospitals are much more like a luxury hotel versus a typical hospital setting. Everest Rehabilitation Hospitals are predesigned to be able to add an additional 17 private beds should the community dictate the need for expansion.

Everest's physical rehabilitation hospital in Viera, Florida will create over 100 jobs in the community. "We are extremely excited to be able to serve Viera, Rockledge, Titusville, Cape Canaveral, Cocoa Beach, Melbourne and Palm Bay. We firmly believe that patients thrive exponentially when their environment and their level of care far exceed their expectations. The level of care in our acute rehabilitation hospital setting cannot be provided at other levels of care such as skilled nursing facilities (SNF). The average length of stay at a comprehensive inpatient rehabilitation hospital is one-third of a typical stay at a skilled nursing facility," Jay Quintana, Everest Rehabilitation's CEO said. "We provide one to one physical therapy, five to seven days a week, daily medical visits by rehabilitation physicians and a strong 24 hour a day nurse to patient ratio that contributes to optimal outcomes and the highest quality of care."

The rehabilitation hospital includes spacious, technologically advanced equipped inpatient and outpatient physical therapy gyms, a large outdoor mobility courtyard for therapeutic use, aqua therapy, a fully furnished life skills training apartment with kitchen and bathroom, several family gathering areas, an extra-large dining hall and patio, in-house dialysis, and an in-house pharmacy. The hospital will serve patients recovering from stroke, brain injury, neurological conditions, trauma, spinal cord injury, speech impediments, amputation, pulmonary disease, orthopedic injury, COVID-19, and other medically complex conditions.

Everest Rehabilitation Hospital Viera will feature a comprehensive and interdisciplinary physician-led experienced team of rehabilitation therapists focused on increasing patient strength and endurance and improving quality of life in a modern, state of the art setting.

Agile Launches MBS Pool Bidding

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. /ScoopCloud/ -- Agile, a groundbreaking fintech bringing mortgage lenders and broker dealers on to a single electronic platform, today announced the launch of MBS pool bidding, enabling lenders and dealers to gain much-needed efficiencies and data through technology.

"Before this release, most clients conducted the spec pool bidding process via email and spreadsheets. Lenders send out pool details to their approved dealers and bids are sent back via email. This process is effective but not efficient," comments Phil Rasori, COO at Agile. "We're going to change that. Through Agile, lenders and dealers can exchange bids and conduct best execution analysis with access to robust loan-level data. And better data leads to sharper pricing."

As securitization rates increase, an increasing number of lenders may be exploring specified pools for the first time. Agile is launching MBS pool bidding to help bring lenders and dealers together more seamlessly, offering both user-friendly technology and high-touch customer service.

Agile's new MBS pool bidding offering includes:

* Efficiency and convenience by ingesting and streamlining email workflows into the Agile platform

* Best execution analysis on pool bids compiled automatically

* Granular loan-level data with all the specific characteristics lenders need to get sharper pricing

* Wide network of dealers returning bids at the push of a button

Curtis Richins, President & CEO of Agile, notes, "We've been partnering closely with a number of clients on our new MBS pool bidding offering after listening to many of the current challenges they face in the current BWIC process. We're excited to introduce MBS pool bidding to the marketplace because we believe the automation of this area of the industry was overdue. This is all part of our mission to revolutionize and digitize the mortgage capital markets."

Agile will be debuting the MBS pool bidding functionality on an industry webinar planned for October 14, 2021: https://trade-agile.com/webinar-introducing-agile-creating-a-better-mbs-market-for-all/

About Agile

The industry's first MBS fintech, Agile brings together lenders and dealers of all sizes onto a single platform. Agile facilitates the exchange of TBA MBS by securing and automating communication between mortgage lenders and broker-dealers. Agile digitizes the historically phone-based process to an electronic platform which may improve profitability and efficiency, while reducing administrative errors. Through its competitive TBA RFQ digital platform, mortgage lenders gain access to national and regional broker-dealers previously inaccessible on digital platforms, while broker-dealers gain access to an ever-growing network of lenders.

Based in Philadelphia, Agile Trading Technologies supports a national network of clients with a team of capital markets professionals who have deep trading experience at financial organizations of every size.

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Trion Properties, a private equity real estate firm based in West Hollywood, California and Miami, Florida specializing in value-add multifamily investments, has announced the launch of Trion Multifamily Opportunity Fund III, LLC, its third investment fund vehicle.

The fund, which will target $75 million in equity to deliver $175-200 million in buying power, will primarily invest in the acquisition, improvement, and repositioning of undervalued and opportunistic multifamily assets in Western and Southeastern U.S. markets. Fund III anticipates acquiring 8-12 properties over its investment period.

The launch of this fund comes on the heels of the closing of the firm's second fund, which has 215 diverse investors, including accredited high net worth investors, RIAs, and family offices, and is allocated across value-add and opportunistic multifamily investments within growing submarkets demonstrating strong growth fundamentals, according to Max Sharkansky, Managing Partner at Trion Properties.

"With our first two funds, we executed an investment strategy that proved quite resilient, which allowed us to take advantage of several significant opportunities during both incredibly strong and uncertain economic times," says Sharkansky. "We are able to leverage our long-standing industry relationships to acquire these opportunities primarily through off-market transactions. This enabled us to build a strong portfolio of communities, acquired for highly competitive prices, which were positioned to provide strong returns to our investors."

To date, the firm has acquired 64 properties and has completed more than $1 billion in transactions.

Mitch Paskover, Managing Partner at Trion Properties adds, "Trion's sole focus on our proven strategy of acquiring and repositioning undervalued multifamily assets in key markets, combined with our vertically integrated property management platform, has led to demonstrable success. The average investor annualized return on our properties exceeds 30% annually, and all properties purchased with Funds I and II have either met or exceeded projections or are on pace to do so. We will continue to implement this strategy on assets acquired with Fund III on an expanded scale."

Fund III is targeting investor-level annualized returns of 13% to 15% over a 6-8-year period, with early "seed investors" receiving preferred economics. As with the firm's first two funds, the firm plans to drive value through heavy renovations, re-branding and a hands-on management approach.

"We offer a competitive advantage to investors by having in-house acquisition, project management, property management, debt sourcing, and construction teams," says Sharkansky. "This combination makes us unique and specialized in the markets we target, allowing us to add value where other sponsors cannot."

Selecting assets with longevity and endurance is essential to the firm's acquisition strategy, adds Paskover.

"We have established a foothold in several Western markets, including becoming the most active buyer in the Portland area based on number of transactions, and are eager to continue applying this strategy in those markets and others demonstrating strong growth fundamentals - including the Southeast region, where we recently established a second office," says Paskover.

Trion's current multifamily portfolio encompasses over 1,250 units across Los Angeles, San Diego, the Bay Area, Colorado, and the greater Portland Area. In addition to the Southeast, the firm is also seeking opportunities to acquire in Salt Lake City and Seattle, notes Sharkansky.

Based on solid fundamentals, continued demand and shortage of supply in multifamily housing in these markets, Trion is anticipating strong performance for its investment platform over the long term.

About Trion Properties

Founded in 2005 and headquartered in Los Angeles, Trion Properties is a private equity real estate firm that invests in value-add multifamily throughout the west coast. Trion has completed more than $1 billion in transactions, with a portfolio of over $550 million in assets, generating an average internal rate of return in excess of 30 percent. With its fully built-out operator platform, Trion has repositioned and stabilized undervalued assets, leveraging its expertise in real estate finance and renovation of multifamily properties to drive returns for its investors.

Since its inception, Trion has acquired the fee interest-or in certain instances the debt secured by the fee interest-of over 3,550 multifamily units. To date, Trion has successfully repositioned and resold over 1,750 units and over 200,430 square feet of commercial real estate space.

E-commerce AI Leader Fanplayr Says Businesses Must Adapt to New Privacy Restrictions for 2021 Holiday Season

PALO ALTO, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Fanplayr, the global leader for e-commerce intelligence solutions, including a patent for Segmentation as a Service, urges businesses to prepare now for tech changes that will impact holiday sales during this pivotal year particularly with Deloitte forecasting an 11 to 15% increase in 2021 holiday e-commerce sales.

Several changes have led to the proverbial perfect storm leading up to this year's holiday sales period. First, the dramatic shift to online commerce in a short period of time, in large due part to the global COVID-19 pandemic, has forced businesses of all sizes to expand their online presence as a percentage of sales in order to survive.

Second, Google has begun making changes in tracking to initiate the process of eliminating third-party cookies by 2023. This has resulted in businesses having less intelligent data about their customers' online buying behaviors and therefore having less ability to respond with relevant offers and information to encourage sales.

Finally, according to Gartner's annual CMO survey, marketing budgets are projected to be down in 2021 (from 11% to 6.4% of revenues) despite businesses trying to regain momentum after 2020. Meaning every dollar counts, and highly-targeted, more tailored data will be required in order to increase companies' ROI, attract and convert high-quality leads, and retain current customers throughout this holiday season.

According to Simon Yencken, CEO and co-founder of Fanplayr, companies unprepared to mitigate these challenges in user identification and adjust for digital growth will miss out on critically important holiday sales. "With a positive projection in holiday sales, companies must deliver relevant offers and information to customers at key points in the decision making process," says Yencken. "Without those data-driven interactions, businesses are at risk of falling short on sales goals during the holiday season."

Fanplayr's recently announced solution, PrivacyID, protects user data by assigning user identifiers and anonymizing the information collected, allowing customers to access user information and share it with third-party providers without breaking privacy regulations or compromising user security.

Other attempts at privacy-sensitive data collection -- most notably Google's FLoC -- are less useful to companies because they aggregate users into large groups. Advertisers can target the groups but not the individual which gives Google more control and companies less personalization and ability to connect with individual users.

"With PrivacyID, data is collected continuously any time a user interacts with a customer's website or any of their third-party services such as SMS and email providers," added Yencken. "This is critically important because the platform allows customers to have a clear picture of the user experience thereby helping sales conversions, especially during the critical holiday period, while maintaining the utmost integrity of the user data,"

Fanplayr has been granted provisional patent protection on the PrivacyID technology and has begun providing the product to customers in preparation for the holiday season.

Fanplayr is a global leader in e-commerce behavioral data, using machine learning and AI to enable businesses to increase conversion rates and revenue, collect more leads, and retarget visitors with personalized recommendations during and after the shopping experience.

Skyway.com Answers Buyers’ Need For Rapid Online Condo Insurance In Fast-Paced Housing Market

ST PETERSBURG, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- It is no secret that the housing market in Florida is hot. Properties move fast, and consumers are finding more ways to make all parts of buying and owning a home quick, easy, and mostly online. One insuretech, UPC Insurance®, answered the consumer call for the ability to almost instantly have an estimate of what a policy will cost, and the ability to buy a Florida Condo policy completely online with Skyway.com.

"From e-commerce to ride-sharing apps, consumers are increasingly choosing the convenience of online solutions that are quick and effective," said Chris Griffith, COO and CIO of St. Petersburg-based UPC Insurance and President of Skyway.com. "UPC is proud to be a pioneer in direct-to-consumer condo insurance policies... Customers can get a quote in seconds and bind and pay for that policy within minutes."

Lisa Sparks with Jason Mitchell Real Estate confirms the cost of insurance is something that buyers want to have an estimate on before they commit to buying a home. Skyway.com consumers are now able to see the estimated insurance premium for a Florida HO6 condo unit owners policy in seconds. This boosts buyers' confidence: they know they can afford the unit with all expenses, including the insurance cost, without the delay of a traditional quest for similar information on the phone or filling out forms online.

In this market, minutes matter! Realtors are finding it is not unusual for multiple prospective buyers to be lined up in their cars, waiting to see a new listing. Buyers in Florida don't want to lose out on a great unit because they are waiting to hear back on an insurance quote. Sparks confirms having an instant quote prior to submitting their offer is just one more level of uncertainty that can be removed from the transaction, giving buyers a competitive edge when they go into a multiple offer situation.

Join the Scientology Network in Celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Hispanic Heritage Month is celebrated annually September 15-October 15 to honor the history, culture and contribution of American citizens and residents whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean and Central and South America. And what better way to do so than with a visit to the Scientology Network on DIRECTV Channel 320, streaming on Scientology.tv, mobile apps and via the Roku, Amazon Fire and Apple TV platforms.

Join the Church of Scientology International in honoring America's Latinx and Hispanic culture, beginning with Destination Scientology.

Destination Scientology: Miami takes visitors on a tour through this tropical paradise, a kaleidoscope of Latin and Caribbean cultures that have come together to create a unique international metropolis. And just as Miami represents the gateway to opportunity to people from throughout the Latin world, the city's Scientology Church is a gateway to ability and personal and spiritual freedom. Enjoy a glimpse of the eclectic Latin culture where people of so many different backgrounds live together and thrive.

Destination Scientology: Tampa welcomes viewers to historic Ybor City, where Florida's Cuban culture was born. A city within the city of Tampa, Ybor is a historic district and right at its center is Ybor Square, home to the Church of Scientology Tampa. Built in 1885 as the largest cigar factory in the world, the building was completely restored by the Church of Scientology. "To a Cuban," says Marta, a Cuban-American Scientologist who emigrated to this country in her youth, "and I am a Cuban to my soul, what this place does is it rekindles my love for my place of birth."

Destination Scientology: Harlem. Not only is Harlem the capital of Black America, it is also a cultural nexus, with Spanish Harlem dancing to a distinctly Latin beat. "El Barrio," says Shashianna, who works at the Church, "that's my hometown." Here, you experience what Hispanic culture really is, she says, known for its "family type of vibe," where "you can go to every Latin country-Mexico, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic-You know it by the food and by the way people talk." The Church celebrates these cultures, hosting events and programs for this diverse and vibrant community.

Destination Scientology: Mexico City provides insight into the history and honors the cultural background of more than 63 percent of Hispanic and Latinx people in the U.S. And with Hispanics and Latinx representing more than 48 percent of those living of Greater Los Angeles, a visit to the Churches of Scientology of Los Angeles, San Fernando Valley, Pasadena and Inglewood will really round out the picture.

The Scientology Network also features Hispanic and Latinx humanitarians in episodes of Voices for Humanity. In cities in America and from Colombia to Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Honduras and Guatemala, these men and women preserve and enhance all that is best in the Latin and indigenous cultures by eradicating drug abuse, illiteracy, criminality, corruption and vice through the use of Scientology-supported humanitarian programs.

Scientology Network debuted March 12, 2018. It has been viewed in 240 countries and territories worldwide in 17 languages. Satisfying the curiosity of people about Scientology, the network takes viewers across six continents, spotlighting the everyday lives of Scientologists, showing the Church as a global organization, and presenting its social betterment programs that have touched the lives of millions. The network also showcases documentaries by independent filmmakers who represent a cross-section of cultures and faiths, but share a common purpose of uplifting communities.

For more information, visit the Scientology Newsroom - https://www.scientologynews.org/press-releases/

The Founder of the Scientology religion is L. Ron Hubbard and Mr. David Miscavige is the religion's ecclesiastical leader.

MIAMI, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- Expetitle, a digital title company and a leader in remote real estate closings, announced today it has closed their $2.3 million Series Seed Plus financing round. The investment will help the company aggressively expand its sales and marketing efforts.

"Expetitle is disrupting title insurance from the ground up," said Sean Daly, the company's CEO and co-founder.

Expetitle has changed that with a fully remote process, giving buyers, sellers, and their agents everything they need with just a click of a button. With this new capital, we will be rolling out our solution to new states and with new partners across the country."

NEW YORK, N.Y. /ScoopCloud/ -- Klingenstein Fields Advisors (KF Advisors), an independent investment advisor with approximately $4.5 billion in assets under management (AUM), has been named to Barron's Top 100 RIA Firms for 2021. This is Barron's sixth annual ranking of registered independent advisory firms and recognizes top advisory firms nationwide.

Firms are asked to complete an extensive questionnaire in order to be considered, and criteria encompass "both qualitative and quantitative criteria, including: the assets a firm manages and the revenue those assets generate; regulatory record; staffing levels and diversity; technology spending; succession planning, and more."

"We are thrilled to be recognized as one of Barron's Top 100 RIA Firms this year," said Kenneth D. Pollinger, Co-Chairman and CEO of KF Advisors. "This honor reflects the hard work and dedication of our entire team. We are committed to continuing to serve our clients with a high level of expertise and attentiveness to help them achieve their financial goals."

According to Barron's, the goal of the rankings is "to shine a spotlight on the nation's best financial advisors, with an eye toward raising standards in the industry." Advisors who wish to be ranked complete a 102-question survey, and this data is verified by Barron's before it applies its proprietary rankings formula to the data. Ranking the firms is "meant as a starting point for clients looking for an advisor."

KF Advisors is an independent advisor registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission and based in New York City. For over 30 years, KF Advisors has been solely dedicated to helping individuals, families, and organizations achieve their legacy, philanthropic, and funding goals through customized wealth planning and investment management.

Deuxmers Publishing releases ‘Tales From the Liminal’ – Mother of Eleven Gives Birth to Fifteen Short Stories

MADISON, Wis. /ScoopCloud/ -- After getting a degree in English from UW-Madison and debuting her fiction in The Onion, author S. K. Kruse found herself on a twenty-five-year sabbatical to raise eleven children, while also managing a non-profit and writing a rock opera in her spare time. Now down to the last three teenagers, Kruse has spent the last five years gestating two novels and a brood of short stories, fifteen of which appear in her first published book, "Tales From the Liminal" (ISBN 978-1944521158, Deuxmers), available for sale on Amazon on October 12, 2021.

"Kruse brilliantly interweaves the fantastical and metaphysical with the everyday realities of life, with stories brimming with insight and compassion for humanity," said Omer Kursat of Deuxmers Publishing.

In this collection of curious and delightful short stories, the readers never know who they're going to meet next, but they always find themselves smack dab in the middle of some befuddling predicament of existence: following Schrödinger's cat into the zeroth dimension, grooving to Barry Manilow with Bigfoot on a beach, traveling with a troubadour of the apocalypse to Belleville, or having drinks with a woman who has seen Gertrude Stein in the condensation on her window.

Using humor, horror, satire and allegory, Kruse submerges the reader in liminal landscapes where anything is possible, especially transformation.

In a review of Kruse's writing, Timothy Cech, fiction editor for Reed Magazine said, "It's a breed of storytelling that encases an entire cosmos within a compact form, with prose that pulses with life ..."

Upstart California museum acquires mythic ad characters

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- The Valley Relics Museum of Van Nuys, California, has acquired a collection of 3,000 advertising characters once housed in the galleries of the Museum of Modern Mythology in San Francisco, founder Tommy Gelinas announced today.

The unique collection, featuring display versions of the Jolly Green Giant, Mr. Clean, Elsie the Cow, Tony the Tiger, Cap'n Crunch and Mr. Peanut, promoted the idea that such figures were modern manifestations of mythic archetypes. The Museum of Modern Mythology operated in downtown San Francisco from 1982 through 1989, focusing on the curation and display of twentieth century advertising artifacts. The entire collection was moved to storage in 1989 after the gallery's closure in the wake of the Loma Prieta earthquake.

"Every culture has its own mythology," Ellen Havre Weis, the Museum's founding director, was quoted as saying. "Regardless of where they came from, these images exist, they're part of our culture and they must be dealt with in some serious light." Ms. Weis passed away earlier this year from cancer. Gordon Whiting and Benjamin Whiting, Ms. Weis's husband and son, negotiated the agreement to move the collection to its new home at the Valley Relics Museum in the months before she died.

Such luminaries as film historian Leonard Maltin and mythologist Joseph Campbell joined the board of the Museum of Modern Mythology, validating the significance of the collection and its underlying thesis.

The Valley Relics Museum is home to a pop culture pantheon of neon signs, pinball and video arcades, life-size Jack in the Box clowns, and television artifacts from the home of "Dragnet" star Jack Webb, among other memorabilia from post-war California culture.

"We see this as a natural extension of our mission, to preserve and make available the many expressions of popular culture that surround us and become part of our lives," said Mr. Gelinas, who founded Valley Relics in Chatsworth, California, in 2013. He relocated the gallery to its present location near the Van Nuys airport in 2018.

"The idea that these figures have some deeper resonance seemed obvious to us. We're thrilled to carry on the work that Ellen started, and to share these colorful and beloved characters with the public."

Mr. Gelinas estimates the first exhibit of the new collection will launch early next year. "The Museum of Modern Mythology will open at the Valley Relics Museum in Spring 2022, in a new gallery annex adjacent to the main rooms."

The Valley Relics Museum is located at 7900 Balboa Blvd, Hangars C3 & 4, Lake Balboa, CA, 91406, (818) 616-4083.

"The product development team here at Fluid Metering continues to listen to our customers' needs and turn these needs into solutions. The FSF Smooth Flow technology application module is an excellent example of turning a need into a solution. I'm also excited, as this new technology is a break from looking at mechanical ways to improve our pumps and leveraging hardware and software further to enhance the performance of our already robust ceramic pumps. The FSF Smooth Flow opens up new pump control possibilities that will enable life science leaders to push the boundaries of their microfluidic and liquid handling systems," said Robert Morin, Vice President, Commercial Operations at Fluid Metering Inc.
