End Result Company Powers BOLDERBoulder’s BOLDER ON THE RUN in a Safe Return to In-Person Racing

BOULDER, Colo. /ScoopCloud/ -- Boulder, Colorado - May, 2021 - One of the largest road races in the nation, and America's All-time Best 10K is back. With guidance from governmental entities and health officials, the BOLDERBoulder team is set to create a unique experience in 2021 to deliver the fun that the annual race is known for, in a new event concept which has been specifically designed to re-acclimate race participants from virtual running back to in-person running races, Stack Sports announced today.

The BOLDERBoulder this year has created a unique variation for Memorial Day Weekend in this "walk before you run" run, called BOLDER on the RUN, and will stage in-person 10K races, on marked, measured and timed courses, at six different locations along the front-range.

The event will span 14 hours each day, beginning Saturday May 29 at 6:30 a.m., through 8:30 p.m. Monday May 31, 2021.

In support of BOLDER ON THE RUN, the BB10K team is partnering with its longstanding timing, scoring and results partner, the End Result Company powered by Stack Sports, for the official timing, including the daily event execution to provide accurate timing and official results and scoring for each participant.

"This is an incredible event and we are so excited to be a part of its return in 2021," said John Adams, GM - Endurance at Stack Sports. "We are always looking for opportunities to innovate, and working with Cliff and his team on this idea was a real look at how technology can partner with event staff to deliver a great experience. BB10K is back, and an example for other races and the broader community of road running events that it's safe."

The BOLDERBoulder mantra, "Oh Yes You Can!" since 1979, is the battle cry which has encouraged participants of all ages and abilities to participate, stay active, get healthy, get outside, celebrate Boulder, Colorado, and honor Memorial Day and those who have given their life in service to this country.

This year the event will take its Can Do Attitude on the road and to the next level with a one-of-a-kind experience at the six unique courses, in Broomfield, Erie, Firestone, at the Greenland Trail in Larkspur, Littleton, and Loveland.

Each venue features a different course and each provides a unique experience and adventure, allowing every participant to take on the challenge of finishing a 10K by selecting their venue, their day and their preferred race time. Famous for its BOLDER attitude at its BOULDER altitude (5,391') each course offered is situated above 5,000' and provides for smaller race groups to run unimpeded during their specific time block over the weekend.

"Because we are able to time each participant, similar to the big race, we will be able to recognize the top 15 fastest times for boys and girls and men and women every age," said race director, Cliff Bosley. "Creating something new and different in a year where there is still an abundance of caution about CV-19, also puts us in a great spot where we can help participants to be comfortable as they assimilate back to in-person running as we begin preparations for the traditional race in 2022."

In its 42nd year with BB10K End Result has worked closely with the event anticipating its return. "End Result Company is excited to see this great event return in such a unique way and to provide the premier event with best-in-class technology," said Kevin Jandt, VP, Endurance at Stack Sports. "Providing our timing services just provides additional data points to BB10K to ensure the event is both competitive and safe."

"We can't wait to see you out there," Cliff Bosley, Race Director.

Don’t Fry Day 2021: Americans Reminded to Enjoy the Sun Safely this Summer

WASHINGTON, D.C. /ScoopCloud/ -- To encourage everyone to take small steps for sun safety the National Council on Skin Cancer Prevention - and its national member coalition of over 40 organizations - has designated the Friday before Memorial Day as the 13th annual "Don't Fry Day" to encourage sun safety awareness and to remind everyone to protect their skin while enjoying the outdoors. The theme of this year's campaign is "Small Steps to Sun Safety."

"After a year of COVID we're all eager to get out and enjoy the great outdoors. But, much as we've been working at protecting ourselves from the hidden virus, we also must protect ourselves from the hidden dangers of ultraviolet radiation," says Dr. Boris Lushniak, co-chair of the National Council for Skin Cancer Prevention and former Acting US Surgeon General. "Don't Fry Day should remind us all to be COVID-safe but also to be sun-safe, by applying sunscreen, wearing protective clothing, and throwing on a wide-brimmed hat, while enjoying what the summer brings us."

Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer in the nation, with almost 5.5 million cases diagnosed in Americans each year - more than breast, colon, lung and prostate cancers combined. In fact, 1 out of every 5 Americans will be diagnosed with some form of skin cancer in their lifetime.

Skin cancer is highly preventable. Over 90% of all skin cancer is caused by exposure to ultraviolet radiation from the sun or indoor tanning devices.

Americans can dramatically reduce their risk of skin cancer by:

* Not burning or tanning intentionally - no tan is a safe tan

* Generously applying sunscreen (remembering to reapply every two hours)

* Wearing sun-protective clothing

* Seeking shade during peak times of the day

* Using extra caution near water, snow and sand

About Don't Fry Day:

"Don't Fry Day," now in its thirteenth year, is a public awareness campaign that aims to reduce the number of new skin cancer diagnoses by promoting sun safety and encouraging people to protect their skin while enjoying the outdoors.

APTMetrics Relocates Headquarters to Westport, CT: Choyce Peterson Negotiates Long-Term Lease

NORWALK, Conn. /ScoopCloud/ -- Choyce Peterson, Inc. (www.choycepeterson.com), a full-service commercial real estate brokerage and consulting firm, recently announced the successful conclusion of lease negotiations on behalf of APTMetrics (www.aptmetrics.com) for a new 2,700 SF office at 320 Post Road West in Westport, CT. Choyce Peterson Vice President Adam Cognetta and Principal John Hannigan represented APTMetrics in this transaction.

When evaluating lease options for their space in Darien, CT, CFO of APTMetrics, Martin Kelly reached out to Mr. Cognetta and Mr. Hannigan for consultation. Mr. Cognetta and the Choyce Peterson team had led APTMetrics through multiple previous real estate transactions, including their existing HQ renewal in Darien and satellite office locations in Virginia, Georgia, and Illinois. Mr. Kelly explained that he was seeking to relocate their Fairfield County Headquarters office further north in the county to better align with the location needs of the on-site team and financial objectives of the business. Additionally, he wanted a high-quality building with easy access to I-95 and the Merritt Parkway, a custom build-out, and a landlord who would be receptive to their office-space needs.

After touring the available buildings throughout Fairfield, Southport, and Westport, Mr. Cognetta and Mr. Hannigan solicited proposals from numerous landlords. Ultimately, Mr. Kelly and his team decided on 320 Post Road West in Westport. This building had recently undergone extensive renovations and offered both a great location convenient to both I-95 and the Merritt Parkway, with an opportunity for a custom build-out within an efficient footprint. Mr. Kelly worked with a local architect recommended by Choyce Peterson to design a space that was thoughtfully laid out and aesthetically modern. The Choyce Peterson team negotiated a long-term lease with favorable financial terms for APTMetrics, including free rent and a custom build-out provided by the landlord.

Mr. Cognetta commented, "Over the past many years we have enjoyed a long-standing partnership with APT. For this particular transaction, APT asked us to direct our search in several boutique markets which, despite COVID, have experienced a continued tightening of availability. By focusing on the factors that mattered most to APT, we were able to short-list several unique, quality options and negotiate mutually beneficial terms that rendered this an all-around success."

Mr. Kelly concluded, "It's always a pleasure working with Adam and John - this headquarters office relocation was an important initiative for APT and Choyce Peterson again delivered outstanding professional service. They went out of their way to check every corner of the market and guide us toward an attractive, distinctive building and an office that perfectly accommodates our needs. We are thrilled to join the Westport community where we will continue to grow our business."

The landlord, 320 Post Road West Group, was represented by Senior Director Adam Klimek of Cushman & Wakefield.

Kennedy Intelligence Data to Begin AI Marketing Program for Southern California Toyota Dealerships

SAN CLEMENTE, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Kennedy Intelligence Data (KID) with its partner SQREEM Technologies Pte. Ltd. developed and executed a program for Toyota of San Bernardino with its proprietary artificial intelligence (AI) technology to increase the success of the dealership's digital advertising campaigns. The results were so successful that a larger program is being prepared to test the KID approach over a greater network of Toyota dealerships.

"Working with KID and SQREEM was and is an eye-opening experience. We got a close up look at the new permutations of advertising through digital platforms using AI," said Cliff Cummings, President and Dealer Principal, Toyota of San Bernardino. "We saw increased traffic to our sites and there were very clear indications that in the areas where we focused this campaign that our penetration of the market saw marked increase."

Though the exact details are not being released, for competitive reasons, KID would go on the record to say they will be doing a larger program that will include multiple Toyota dealerships in the Southern California region.

"We are happy for the success KID/SQREEM AI provided Cliff Cummings and his Auto Group, and we look forward to doing the same for all the Toyota dealerships in the Southern California region," said James Kennedy President and CEO of Kennedy Intelligent Data.

SQREEM for their part were glad to see that the partnership with KID, which is strategically important due to the reach KID has in North America in the auto marketing arena, is paying quick dividends.

"As an AI-run digital media company, SQREEM has developed a world-first cookie-free media buying tech stack, that is now showing demonstrably better conversions than the traditional cookie-based approach. I am now very confident SQREEM will revolutionize digital media buying, especially in the new cookie-free era, the SQREEM approach is now proven to be a viable alternative to FLoC methodologies," said Ian Chapman-Banks co-founder and CEO of SQREEM.

The increase of data privacy laws and the phasing out of third-party cookies are altering consumer digital marketing. The evolution to AI that does not use cookies or bots is a major step in the online marketplace.

"The digital marketing world is constantly evolving at a dizzying pace and KID and SQREEM are on the edge of that evolution," said Cummings. "What is a new approach, an emerging technology a year, six months, a month ago can be obsolete very quickly. We are pleased to be working with a company that is at the edge of that evolution of tactics in the digital world."

New Book About Conquering Addiction Receives Book Excellence Award

LAS VEGAS, Nev. /ScoopCloud/ -- "Life is Crying" (ISBN: 978-1641119849) by Benzena Brown, recently received the Book Excellence Award Finalist - an international book awards' competition dedicated to recognizing independent and traditionally-published authors and publishers for excellence in writing, design and overall market appeal.

The ultimate goal of "Life is Crying" is to assist individuals and families suffering with chemical dependency to achieve a healthy lifestyle and to get the needed support for recovery. It also alerts family and friends of the dangers and consequences of substance abuse, with the intention to limit this horrible, threatening and life altering dilemma that can be defined as a mouse trap or chasing the dragon.

The book recognizes chemical dependency as a universal outcry and struggle for the addict, family and friends. It demonstrates how chemical dependency is widespread just like the sky, all over the world. Chemical dependency is classified as a mental health disorder. The dilemma of chemical dependency can be an innocent curiosity leading to disaster as it is like a sharp piercing blade that stabs the mind/brain.

Alarming fact, chemical dependency can begin at youth. Chemical dependency is not reserved for the young or old. It can start at any age. When chemical dependency sets in, it takes over the body and mind.

Brown recognizes addiction provides a thrilling and sensational pleasure which often leads to repetitive use inflicting pain, suffering, agony and intense craving. The consequences of the intoxicating pain can make the body feel like a bunch of French fries sizzling in scalding hot cooking oil. The riptide of chemical dependency has landed on the victim and has added a helpless feeling and challenge to life.

"And, while the challenges of addiction may seem like a spinning top failing to fall on its side, help is available," Brown says.

From intervention and drug rehabilitation to mental health, to drug counseling, and relapse, help is available. Intervention

programs allow family or friends to persuade, guide and gently convince the victim that he/she needs help and help is available. Other programs provide in-house stays for chemical dependency individuals and are designed to meet the needs of the specific individual.

Brown advocates that education is the best source for understanding addiction and its consequences.

"A blinking yellow light can change to a red stop light," she says.

Atlantic Bay Mortgage Group® Surpasses 10,000 Paperless eClosings with DocMagic’s Total eClose™ Solution

TORRANCE, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- DocMagic, Inc., the premier provider of fully-compliant loan document preparation, automated regulatory compliance, and comprehensive eMortgage services, announced that Atlantic Bay Mortgage Group®, a national independent mortgage banker, has successfully processed more than 10,000 paperless eClosings. The tech-savvy lender is utilizing DocMagic's Total eClose™ platform, with eNote generation, integrated eVault technology, and compliant document production. Together, the solution set has helped catapult Atlantic Bay into an industry-leader position in eMortgage lending and complete digitization of the closing process.

In January of 2020, Atlantic Bay had executed only seven eNotes but concluded the year with more than 7,000 eNotes registered with MERS. As of May 2021, the lender surpassed 10,000 eClosings, representing more than 20 percent of all loans originated as paperless closings.

"We are very excited about the immense success we've had and continue to experience with DocMagic's Total eClose solution," stated Christina Brown, Chief Operations Officer at Atlantic Bay. "From origination through closing, warehouse lending and onto secondary marketing, we've seen a tremendous upside to producing eNotes that has benefited us as a company, our staff, and our customers."

As a result of offering a completely electronic closing to borrowers that includes remote online notarizations (RON), Atlantic Bay reports that it has experienced increased accuracy; quicker turn times; strict compliance adherence; better secondary marketing sell-side efficiencies; more warehouse line liquidity; and a straightforward, speedy, and pleasant closing experience for borrowers. Together, these benefits have produced greater profitability and reduced costs for Atlantic Bay.

"Atlantic Bay exemplifies an incredibly efficient lender that has made all the right moves to fully embrace digital lending and completely remove paper from the closing process with our Total eClose platform," stated Dominic Iannitti, president and CEO of DocMagic. "When you put the necessary pillars in place like Atlantic Bay has, it paves the way to more scalable operations with paper-free eClosings at the heart of the workflow. The benefits Atlantic Bay is enjoying are tremendous and we're excited to showcase them as a client that's perfected the eClosing process."

Brown added: "More than anything, our success has been predicated on being early adopters of RON and eNotes, helping settlement agents become comfortable with DocMagic's software, working closely with our warehouse lenders and investors to accept eNotes, and having a 'just do it' attitude toward eClosings with eNotes. All of the legwork that we performed before, and in the early days of the pandemic, helped us gain a lot of experience and were able to execute thousands of eClosings. It's now become a competitive advantage for us."

Atlantic Bay is a long-time DocMagic client and has been an early adopter of hybrid eClosings since processing its first hybrid eClose in 2018. The lender's subsequent implementation of RON technology and eNotes has taken its closing, post-closing, funding, and loan sales to the next level. Moving forward, Atlantic Bay will widen the use of RON technology and continue to work closely with settlement providers to expand its footprint in digital originations and closings.

DocMagic's Total eClose solution gives Atlantic Bay users the ability to easily access the platform directly from a seamless integration with its loan origination system (LOS). Total eClose provides an end-to-end paperless workflow that seamlessly connects every component of the closing process. It includes use of DocMagic's eDocument library with integrated eSign technology, automatic generation of a MISMO Category 1 SMART Doc® eNote, eNotary technology for all 50 states, direct MERS® eRegistry of the eNote, and secure storage in its certified eVault.

Total eClose leverages the precision-based accuracy of DocMagic's intelligent, dynamic document generation capabilities. It also integrates tightly with DocMagic's AutoPrep™ solution that e-enables any 3rd-party documents to execute eClosings.

Jumbo CO2 Monitor for Indoor Air Quality Tracking

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Carbon Monoxide monitoring for indoor safety has never been more important, as schools, restaurants and work places are beginning re-opening efforts. Over the past 15 months, Forensics Detectors has been dedicated in offering carbon dioxide monitoring products for COVID-19 preparedness planning. These detectors are specifically designed for indoor spaces such as classrooms, gyms and offices.

They have adjustable alarm settings to allow users to be compliant with the California Assembly Bill AB 841 CO2 monitoring requirements which mandates CO2 indoor air quality monitoring to reduce COVID-19 transmission and infection risk.

For many years, carbon dioxide measurements have been used to better understand the airflow and mixing in indoor structures that helps guide the design of cooling, heating, and ventilation systems. High CO2 levels indoors is tied to poor health and lack of fresh air entering an indoor space. Numerous studies have shown links between high CO2 levels and high concentration of airborne bacteria and viruses. Variables such as air exchange rates and exposure times are correlated to and probability of respiratory infections. Hence CO2 monitoring acts as valid proxy. People exhale CO2 when they breathe. The CO2 gas accumulates, especially when an indoor space is not well ventilated, allowing CO2 levels to increase far above the baseline outdoor levels.

Some have gone one step further, mandating indoor CO2 monitoring. For example, the California Assembly Bill AB 841 requires classrooms to monitor CO2 and provide an alert when the carbon dioxide levels in the classroom have surpassed 1100 ppm. To help, Forensics Detectors was one of the first companies to pivot and offer consumers a variety of CO2 monitor that fit the bill. Today, Forensics Detectors is launching its JUMBO version, that allows indoor occupants to see the CO2 levels from a distance, helping the visually impaired and providing greater viewability, particularly in large public indoor spaces to help with customer confidence and to assure good public safety.

"Carbon Dioxide monitoring means extra safety, something we have taken for granted over the many years, and only now with COVID-19 are we aware of the importance of monitoring CO2 to help prevent airborne pathogen transmission," Dr. Koz, founder and chief engineer, Forensics Detectors, says. "CO2 is exhaled with aerosols containing pathogens such as SARS-CoV-2 from COVID-19 infected people and can be used as a proxy of virus concentrations in the indoor air as recently discovered by leading researchers."

The new JUMBO carbon dioxide monitor uses a generic USB cable for power and battery recharge. This version is great for large spaces or rooms such as classrooms, buses, churches, indoor public spaces such as libraries and public administration offices.

National Stop the Violence Alliance Inc. to Host an ‘Interfaith Service for Peace’ aimed at providing a Roadmap for Peace and Reconciliation

ST. PAUL, Minn. /ScoopCloud/ -- The National Stop the Violence Alliance, Inc. will host a National Interfaith Service for Peace, an event that is aimed at creating a roadmap for instilling peace and reconciliation in the United States and other countries of the world.

Over the years, the record of violence in the world has continued to enjoy an upsurge. Despite modalities set up by law enforcement agencies and the government of nations, global violence remains a seeming formidable foe.

To this end, the National Stop the Violence Alliance Inc. (NSTVA), has come up with an initiative to foster peace and reconciliation. The initiative which is an event tagged "National Interfaith Service for Peace" is in line with NSTVA's mission to help heal communities by fostering peace and the principles of nonviolence.

The event will be held on Sunday, May 23, 2021 from 3pm to 5pm CST at the Lutheran Church of the Redeemer located at 285 Dale St. N, St. Paul, Minnesota. It will also be streamed live via Zoom.

Registration for the Zoom can be found at https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_IurtEosgSYCHC7BqXdv0Xg.

Speaking about the event, Dr. Stephné Coney, Founder, and CEO of National Stop the Violence Alliance Inc. had this to say, "We are extremely excited to be able to present a program aimed at providing peace and reconciliation in our nation. Having this event in Minnesota, specifically in the St. Paul area adjacent to Minneapolis-a place where the entire global community came together for a common cause-adds to the dimensions that peace MUST happen."

Keynote speakers at the event include Her Excellency, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, 24th President of Liberia, US Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee (Texas), US Congressman Dwight Evans (Pennsylvania), Pennsylvania State Senator Sharif Street, and Lynda R. Williams, National President of NOBLE.

Others include the Past President of International Association of Chiefs of Police, Chief Paul Cell, Colonel Patrick Callahan, Superintendent of the New Jersey State Police, Cynthia M.A. Butler-McIntyre, 24th National President of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., Hurst Family Experience, and other clergy members, performers, and special guests.

Members of the Native, Sikh, and AAPI communities will be participating in the National Interfaith Service for Peace and everyone is invited to come light candles for peace and in remembrance of those who have passed.

NSTVA is committed to working collaboratively with communities through ministerial outreach, youth programs, collective conferences with law enforcement agencies and public officials, and informational seminars about the effects of drug usage, gang violence, sex education, and economic uplifting, such as how to ace interviews, how to obtain employment, and how to manage unemployment. It is NSTVA's mission to help end violence across the country and to bring awareness to many illnesses that are affecting our culture.

In the United States of America, for example, the Associated Press projected a 15 percent rise in violence recorded from 2019. These numbers are expected to continue rising even in other parts of the world. More than ever before, the world needs people like Dr. Stephné and her NSTVA group to salvage what is left of violent attacks in recent times while proffering solutions to thwart further occurrences.

The Pap Corps Donates $2 Million to Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center

DEERIELD BEACH, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- Overcoming the numerous obstacles imposed by the pandemic, The Pap Corps Champions for Cancer Research displayed their indomitable spirit during their May Presidents Zoom meeting when they announced a $2 million donation to Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center. The nonprofit has made numerous multimillion dollar donations to support research at South Florida's only NCI Designated cancer center; however, this year's gift required tremendous determination and innovative fundraising.

"I cannot tell you how grateful I am for the way our board and our 20,000 members rallied during these difficult times," said Susan Dinter, chair of The Pap Corps. "While COVID-19 stopped many things, it did not stop cancer or our members! I am so proud of the incredible resourcefulness of our wonderful volunteers and am thrilled that during National Cancer Research Month we were able to make this substantial donation."

Pap Corps members, throughout all 50 chapters, created virtual versions of their usual fundraisers and also developed new strategies, events and campaigns to raise money. In addition, the launch of the Giving Train monthly donation program, brick and bench sales at The Garden of Hope in Deerfield Beach and the growth of events in Palm Beach helped the organization develop new paths for fundraising.

During the Zoom meeting, Dr. Stephen Nimer, Director of Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center spoke to the members and thanked them for their commitment and generosity.

"While we were unable to gather in person for this check presentation, I know everyone felt a tremendous sense of accomplishment," stated Sally Berenzweig, who assumed the role of CEO in January 2021. "Working with these incredible volunteers during the past months has truly been an inspiration, and I look forward to what we will achieve during the months ahead."

ABOUT THE PAP CORPS

Since its founding in 1952, The Pap Corps has donated more than $110 million to Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, including a historic $50 million pledge in 2016 dedicating The Pap Corps Campus at Sylvester in Deerfield Beach. The Pap Corps derives its name from Dr. George Papanicolaou, a pioneer in cytopathology and early cancer detection, who introduced the world to the revolutionary 'Pap' test. A small group of women began the organization to support his efforts, and over the decades it has grown into an organization of over 20,000 men and women, in over 50 chapters, who raise funds to support all types of cancers.

MCT Introduces BAM Marketplace, the First Truly Open Mortgage Loan Exchange

SAN DIEGO, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Mortgage Capital Trading, Inc. (MCT®), a leading mortgage hedge advisory and secondary marketing software firm, announced the public introduction of BAM Marketplace™. Originally launched to support existing MCT sellers during the 2020 pandemic liquidity crisis, BAM Marketplace now welcomes new buyers and sellers as the world's first truly open loan exchange between unapproved counterparties.

In the early days of the pandemic, investors bought fewer loans and sellers ran into liquidity issues, especially for specific loan characteristics such as low-FICO government. BAM Marketplace connected distressed sellers with would-be buyers, particularly agency-approved lenders within the MCT client base, some without previous correspondent investing experience. The ability to transact with unapproved counterparties, combined with API-driven automated live pricing, allowed these new buyers to provide a top-tier correspondent experience and quickly build a base of sellers. Today, BAM Marketplace provides quantifiable benefits to lenders of every size for loans of every type.

Sellers benefit by reducing liquidity constraints, growing investor outlets, and increasing loan sale profitability. MCT clients have noted materially improved execution across all loan types. The average spread to cover bids on BAM Marketplace is thirty-two basis points, with that spread extending to forty-six basis points for government production and eighty-nine basis points for low-FICO government loans. Sellers are also finding new outlets for non-owner occupied and second home loans - a key focus area given the new agency limits on such production.

"Gone are the days of a finite set of approved investors, not knowing who has an axe, and incomplete information on who may offer the best price. BAM Marketplace targets systemic issues of limited liquidity and slow turn times for pricing and also helps minimize a lender's exposure to crises and regulatory changes," said Curtis Richins, President at MCT. "It's the only loan exchange where sellers can receive executable bids from unapproved buyers. Through our patent-pending 'security spread commitment', MCT firmly holds its position as the gold standard in best execution and moves one step closer to the ultimate goal - when every loan can be priced by every investor."

Buyers benefit from BAM Marketplace through efficient access to the industry's largest community of sellers and the ability to bid on loans offered by unapproved lenders. Agency-approved lenders can now find unique buying opportunities, even without the prior experience or cost calculations typically associated with launching a correspondent lending channel. MCT's AutoBidTM bid tape pricing solution supports every BAM Marketplace buyer, allowing them to provide automated, algorithm-based live pricing that can be fine-tuned to each seller and loan characteristic.

"By extending the Bid Auction Manager (BAM®) platform, MCT has unlocked additional liquidity and created a turn-key, digital purchasing solution," said Phil Rasori, Chief Operating Officer, MCT. "Proprietary, patent-pending functionality enables immediate access to 'biddable' loan collateral offered by MCT's client base-the largest in the industry."

For MCT clients, BAM Marketplace is part of our core offering with no additional cost or set-up required. It is also available as a stand-alone platform for non-clients.

On June 10, two of MCT's key innovators, Phil Rasori and Justin Grant, will provide a demonstration of the platform and details on the new security spread commitment type. Registration for the webinar is required and easily completed by visiting the BAM Marketplace Industry Webinar registration page: https://mct-trading.com/mct-webinar-introducing-bam-marketplace/.

Community Housing Partnership Announces Name Change to HomeRise

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Community Housing Partnership announced today that it has changed its name to HomeRise. More than 30 years ago, the norm for helping someone experiencing homelessness was to put them up in a small, furnished room and hope for the best. That changed when nonprofit housing developers and homelessness advocates came together and formed Community Housing Partnership.

We were founded on the simple yet powerful idea that providing a home combined with support services could provide the stability a person needs to escape homelessness for good. This idea, known as supportive housing, will continue to be at the heart of what HomeRise does.

But it hasn't always been easy, especially these past few years. The changing economy coupled with competition for housing pushed more people onto the streets. More people felt like things were moving in the wrong direction. Then, the pandemic showed us how many more of our neighbors were already living on the brink. News coverage called our city a failure. The human suffering became too much to bear. And San Francisco began to lose hope.

"HomeRise is our antidote to lost hope. It is the power of a stable home to help a person rise up from their circumstances after life has knocked them down. HomeRise is when everyday San Franciscans rise up and play their part to make a difference," said Rick Aubry, CEO of HomeRise.

If there's one thing we've learned from our past 30 years, it's that rising up and working together is where hope comes from. At HomeRise, we believe that together, we can change lives and rebuild this city we love.

About HomeRise:

HomeRise is the leading nonprofit in San Francisco helping people experiencing homelessness rise up and transform their lives. Our mission is built on a simple-but-powerful idea: We combine housing with support services, like mental health services and job training, and empower our residents to advocate for local policies that create long-term change. We believe a home has the power to stabilize a person's life - helping people to improve their health, cook for their family, find a job, begin paying rent, feel a sense of dignity, and contribute to the community.

Together with our supporters, we are changing lives and rebuilding the neighborhoods and city that we love. Each year, HomeRise's supportive housing transforms the lives of more than 1,900 adults, children, seniors, and veterans who experienced homelessness. The impact is long-lasting: 98% of our past and present residents who experienced homelessness stay housed. To learn how you can rise up and make a difference, visit: https://homerisesf.org/.

5X Solutions Adds Compensation Analysis to their Mortgage Business Intelligence Platform

SAN DIEGO, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- 5X Solutions, LLC, a mortgage business intelligence and data analytics company, has announced the addition of loan agent compensation analysis to its automated financial reporting and mortgage business intelligence software.

Users of Telemetry BI now have complete visibility to the commissions paid to loan officers. This includes loan-level details, dollars paid, and basis points (bps) for each transaction. In the past, accounting personnel would generate reports manually via spreadsheets, only to have them challenged by loan agents and branch managers questioning the underlying numbers. In other cases, the client risked overpayment due to manual mistakes or incomplete data.

This new reporting tool provides post-payment audit capabilities to accounting and financial staff. Reports are generated automatically by integrating data from the client's loan origination software (LOS) and their accounting system. Compensation is calculated based on units closed, funded amounts, loan types, referrals, and loan assistants, providing transparency and timely access via on-demand compensation analytics.

Corporate executives, branch managers, regional managers, and individual loan officers can view compensation details relevant to them in real-time. This eliminates the need for the constant back-and-forth between accounting staff and loan agents to validate results and answer questions.

A planned release of prepayment commission and bonus reporting for the entire company including loan processors, underwriters, and other staff members will add efficiency and transparency to the mortgage operation. Details can be viewed before payments are made to ensure that commissions and bonuses are correct. This enhances Telemetry MBI's existing Marketing and Expense program that enables loan officers to benefit by claiming pre-tax expenses related to generating business.

Telemetry MBI's new compensation analysis complements existing financial reports, KPIs, performance dashboards, and analytics to provide a 360-degree view of a mortgage business's operational health. Adoption of this feature by clients has exceeded expectations. 5X Solutions' Co-Founder John Beneventi says "Compensation analysis rounds out Telemetry MBI's automated financial reporting capabilities by offering managers the ability to drill down on details and explore trends around each loan officer's performance and compensation."

Swift Homes Makes It Easy For North Carolina Homeowners to Sell Their Houses As-Is on A Convenient Timeline

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. /ScoopCloud/ -- With the ability to guide sellers through their straightforward process and close transactions in a quick and hassle-free manner, Swift Homes is in a unique position to help homeowners throughout North Carolina sell their properties with ease. Swift Homes' time-tested and methodical approach has rapidly become invaluable for sellers in all kinds of situations.

Swift Homes is a renowned real estate buyer for numerous reasons:

- By purchasing homes and then renting them out, they consistently provide competitive offers.

- The knowledgeable and highly dedicated Swift Homes team has more than 20 years of industry experience.

- The team behind Swift Homes has completed transactions on more than 5,000 properties with an emphasis on single-family homes.

- Backed by a multi-billion-dollar private equity fund, Swift has at its disposal the financial resources needed to buy any home in cash.

- Based in downtown Chicago, Swift Homes buys properties in North Carolina and throughout the continental United States.

When working with real estate wholesalers or flippers, homeowners often have to accept unfairly low prices. Wholesalers are also known to reduce their offers or back out of transactions completely at the last minute due to insufficient funds. Swift Homes is able to offer sellers a great price and close on the seller's timeline.

Sellers engaging in conventional property sales have to contend with inconvenient showings with many people entering their home as well as a timeline in flux. Many purchasers will have to severely delay closing based on a mortgage loan approval that the seller has no control over. There is also the risk of receiving unacceptably low offers or no offers at all. When repairs are needed prior to closing, it's the sellers that often have to assume responsibility for the time and cost to repair. On top of all that, contractually-obligated buyers sometimes renege on deals toward the end of the process, effectively wasting months of the seller's valuable time and potentially thousands of dollars. With Swift Homes, sellers can close on their timeline and Swift will take care of all the repairs after closing.

Why so many North Carolina sellers work with Swift Homes:

- They operate in 100+ markets around the US, encompassing thousands of cities.

- Swift Homes makes cash offers without requiring a visit to the property.

- They have the ability to close on the seller's desired timeline.

- Swift handles all necessary repair work.

- They have an advantageous program where sellers can remain in their homes by renting them back from Swift.

- Swift Homes has the ability to make the purchase even if the seller has an investment home with tenants, as the homes are bought to make available for rent.

- Swift Homes has 250+ reviews with an average rating of 4.5. They have 160+ 5-star reviews.

Client Testimonials provide a clear indication of what it's like to choose the cash home buyers at Swift Homes. Dalceada W., who sold to Swift Homes in South Carolina, said, "Swift Homes reached out to me right away. They communicated with me every step of the way. It was painless. They took great care of me. They even found an experienced notary to handle my closing paperwork. The process went very smoothly and quickly. Kudos to their entire team. I highly recommend them."

Heal Vet, a Watertown veterinary clinic known for its gentle touch, goes green and helps offset the costs of running a small business

ARLINGTON, Mass. /ScoopCloud/ -- Founded by husband-and-wife team Jamie and Amanda Leef in 2017, Heal Vet is located in the Mount Auburn neighborhood intersecting Cambridge, Belmont and Watertown MA. Heal's staff of 20 provides full pet care services in a low-stress environment. In creating Heal's offices, the team used low carbon and nontoxic building materials whenever possible. Their new 48 panel solar electric system, designed and installed by Arlington-based SunBug Solar, is the finishing touch on an environmentally-conscious workplace.

Dr. Amanda Leef's role as owner and doctor of veterinary medicine is hands-on with the animals, while Jamie's job as general manager tasks him to "steer the ship towards success." Jamie's former career in green building and solar energy helped him understand the value a business can derive from owning their own power source on their roof. And his experience installing solar systems for other businesses prepared him for the long utility approval and permitting process.

"What's great about SunBug is that they've been around a long time, and the people they have working in their design and construction have so much experience solving problems," Leef said. "They manage complications properly, and quickly offered insight into how to install a special transformer for my site's unusual electrical configuration. It's one reason to hire a reputable local company. They happen to know the local inspector really well and how best to contact him, and how to file a dispute with local utility companies if it comes to that."

The 19 kW system provides Heal with 75% of the energy they use a year. Energy bills were around $8000 a year which is typical of a small business with a lot of medical supplies. Not only does installing a PV system reduce utility costs, but it also means that their budget line for electricity is shielded from the rising costs of electricity. As a business, Heal takes advantage of federal tax credits and accelerated depreciation on the investment, reducing the initial cost by over 50%. The strategy is perfect for a resilient small business.

Another addition to the project includes a charging station for electric vehicles. Customers and neighbors alike have been happy to take advantage of green electricity in their community. Leef was even inspired to get an electric car for himself. "A Chevrolet Bolt," Leaf said. "Really the nicest car to drive."

Heal Vet is a full service companion animal hospital located in the Mount Auburn neighborhood. They provide comprehensive services including wellness, urgent care, surgery, dentistry, and specialists. Their specially designed modern facility and staff trained in low-stress animal handling techniques provides you and your pet with a better experience. Learn more here: https://www.heal.vet/.

SunBug Solar is a local, Massachusetts owned-and-operated solar energy consulting and installation company with offices in Arlington and Westfield, MA. SunBug Solar creates positive environmental and social impact by exemplifying our core values of responsiveness, resourcefulness, and reliability with our customers, within our industry, and among our teammates.

After, Inc.'s EVP, Paul Swenson, a highly respected veteran in the Warranty Services industry, helped develop this guide. "A lot of manufacturers and retailers 'don't know what they don't know' about available warranty risk structures and the true costs of risk transfer," said Swenson.

"Frequently, risk oversight is outsourced to companies that use old-school actuarial methods which don't forecast claims or reserves accurately - nor provide the business intelligence needed to optimize and expand the warranty programs. This leads to untapped opportunities that they may never discover or, often worse, unwarranted rate increases that have negative impacts on their programs and the ability to deliver a great customer experience. This guide is designed to give Warranty leaders and their teams a much-needed introduction to the basic concepts of Risk Management - and the impact that inaccurate claims forecasts can have on their profitability."

This "Risk Management 101" guide covers:

* Section 1 - the key components and definitions in Risk Management.

* Section 2 - types of risk structures and the pros/cons of each.

* Section 3 - how to accurately estimate losses and how errors can impact program profits.

* Section 4 - a case study on how After helped Polaris - a long-time client - develop a risk roadmap that led from a completely outsourced risk management structure to creating its own warranty company.

Plan sponsors should prepare for smooth sailing for ‘SECURE Act 2.0’ retirement reform bill

ATLANTA, Ga. /ScoopCloud/ -- Independent, full-service employee benefits consulting firm Strategic Benefits Advisors, Inc. (SBA) issued a statement today notifying plan sponsors of pending bipartisan legislation that could significantly impact employer-sponsored retirement plans. The House Ways and Means Committee unanimously passed the Securing a Strong Retirement Act of 2021 on Wednesday, May 5; now the bill moves on to the full House, where it enjoys considerable bipartisan support.

Designed to build on the SECURE Act - and, consequently, dubbed the 'SECURE Act 2.0' - the proposed retirement reform legislation seeks to enhance the long-term financial security of millions of Americans by providing wider access to retirement savings. While most provisions of the legislation would apply to plan years beginning after December 31, 2022, certain provisions would apply after December 31, 2021.

SBA Principal Andy Adams offered the following summary of SECURE Act 2.0 provisions that are likely to affect a majority of retirement plan sponsors. According to Adams, the bill:

* Requires plan sponsors to automatically enroll employees in 401(k) and 403(b) plans unless they specifically opt out

* Introduces several changes to required minimum distribution (RMD) rules:

- Raises the RMD age (the age at which participants must begin withdrawing from their retirement accounts) from 72 to 75 over 10 years

- Reduces the individual tax penalty for failure to take the RMD

- Provides more flexibility in the allowable timing, amounts and features of life annuities to satisfy RMD requirements

- Expands the amount that can be excluded from RMD rules if used to purchase qualified longevity annuity contracts

* Ties the IRA catch-up contribution limit, which allows those age 50 and older to make additional contributions beyond the standard limit, to inflation

* Creates new, higher catch-up contribution limits that apply at ages 62, 63 and 64 for those who participate in employer-sponsored retirement plans, including SIMPLE plans

* Allows individuals to pay down a student loan instead of contributing to a 401(k) plan and still receive an employer match in their retirement plan

* Allows employers to offer small, immediate financial incentives to employees to join retirement plans

* Requires plan sponsors to allow part-time employees who work at least 500 hours a year for 2 consecutive years (not 3 years, as under current law) to participate in company 401(k) plans

* Gives plan sponsors greater flexibility in correcting plan errors, for example:

- Allows more time to correct missed contributions to employees' retirement accounts without penalties

- Expands the scope of the Employee Plans Compliance Resolution System (EPCRS), which allows plan sponsors to self-report errors to the IRS and correct those errors without drastic penalties

* Limits the degree to which plans may seek to recoup excess retirement plans payments from participants

* Instructs the Department of Labor to issue new guidance for benchmarking of target date funds

* Limits the disclosures required to those not participating in plans

* Creates a central data repository for lost participants (the 'Retirement Savings Lost and Found')

* Requires plan sponsors to provide participants with at least one paper account statement per year

* Adjusts top-heavy rules for certain DC plans

* Gives employers latitude to rely on employee self-certification that hardship distribution requirements have been met

Certain additional provisions, Adams noted, apply only to public employer plans or to special classes of individuals such as military personnel, firefighters and first responders. Other provisions not summarized here are likely to affect only a small percentage of plans. Read the full text of H.R. 2954, the Securing a Strong Retirement Act of 2021, here.

"With strong, bipartisan support for this legislation among both House and Senate membership, the odds are good that the so-called 'SECURE Act 2.0' will enjoy a relatively smooth path toward final passage," said Adams. "Retirement plan sponsors should take this opportunity to familiarize themselves with the bill's provisions and put a strategy in place for implementing necessary plan changes by the end of next year."

Atlantic-Pratt Energy Celebrates Its 100 Year Anniversary of Supporting South Shore Residents by Giving Back to Charities Selected by Their Customers

NORWELL, Mass. /ScoopCloud/ -- Today, Atlantic Pratt Energy announced a campaign to celebrate its 100th year in business by giving back to those who matter most-their customers and their community. Over the next twelve months, the company will select a charity, submitted by customers, to receive a $100 donation. Customers can nominate their favorite charity on their website. Atlantic-Pratt Energy will also enter their current customers into a monthly raffle to win a $100 in credit for their heating and cooling services. Customers are automatically entered into this raffle each month; every customer gets one raffle entry for each year they've been an Atlantic-Pratt Energy client.

Atlantic-Pratt Energy is a privately held company supporting residents throughout the South Shore. The Nogueira family has owned and operated Atlantic-Pratt Energy for four generations and the current operators are Don Nogueira, his son Jacob Nogueira, and his daughter Rachel Wollam. The Nogueira family has been an important part of the community and is proud to be celebrating 100 years of helping to keep their neighbors comfortable.

"I'm always humbled by my grandfather's immigration story-he came to the US in 1905 when he was 16 years old and had less than $15 to his name. He stayed with an uncle and worked in cranberry bogs in Plympton until he started working in the ice and coal business. Then in 1921, he founded Atlantic Ice and Coal. When he founded this company 100 years ago, I wonder if he ever dreamed about it staying in the family for this long? He would be pleased that we have done our best to live up to the high standards of honesty and hard work that he maintained throughout his career. We all take our job seriously-we know that families depend on us to help keep them warm during our cold winters, and cool during the hottest days in the summer," shares Don Nogueira. "We might be in our 100th year of business but we aren't going anywhere. My son Jacob Nogueira is here to continue our family's history of providing dependable service and fair prices to our neighbors throughout the South Shore."

Customers from Plymouth to Boston and every town in between rely on Atlantic-Pratt Energy and they are one of the most trusted and respected heating and cooling providers in the region.

"I regularly recommend Atlantic-Pratt Energy to new homeowners I work with," says Poppy Troupe, a premier associate with Coldwell Banker. "As a realtor, I feel confident recommending Atlantic-Pratt because I know they will take excellent care of my clients. I also get to feel good about helping to support a fellow local business owner."

"Locally owned businesses are an important part of the South Shore. This is where we work, live, and raise our families," shares Don Nogueira. "I'm proud of what my great-grandfather built, what my family has sustained and grown, and what I know Jacob and Rachel will do to continue our tradition of providing dependable and friendly service."
