ViewTech Borescopes Referred Clients Seeking New Video Borescopes for Mining Equipment Maintenance and Orbital Weld Inspections

TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. /ScoopCloud/ -- With thousands of companies utilizing ViewTech VJ-3 video borescopes, it is a common occurrence that inspectors share tips and their tools of the trade with each other. Many of the times these tools are the suppliers and manufacturers who provide a quality product and superior customer service. As two of ViewTech Borescopes newest clients discovered, all visual inspection equipment is not created equal.

While searching for a better borescope and supplier for their applications inspection needs, a company specializing in ultra-high purity, industrial orbital welding projects and an open pit mining operation contacted ViewTech Borescopes, North America's top selling video borescope company, to take their inspection equipment to the next level.

A Canadian diversified natural resources and mining company expressed interest in trialing a VJ-3 3.9mm x 1.5-meter video borescope onsite at one of their open pit mines. With an extensive and diverse fleet of heavy equipment, all requiring regular maintenance, a VJ-3 video borescope would easily prove to be a valuable resource for their toolbox. After a free demo was shipped to their Condition Monitoring Supervisor, the VJ-3 visually inspected cylinders, pistons, turbos, differentials, and hydraulic valving, along with shovel and drill transmission gearings.

With both image and video capturing capability, failure analysis, mechanical diagnoses, and warranty claims were quickly documented with their new ViewTech video borescope.

When the owner of a clean, high purity process piping facilitation company, specializing in orbital welding, was informed about ViewTech Borescopes line of articulating video borescopes, they reached out to trial a no-cost demo VJ-3. With the Dual Camera video borescope featuring both a forward and side-view camera module and insertion tube lengths up to 8 meters, it is highly recommended for welding, piping, and various other applications where two independent cameras can drastically cut down on inspection times. With use of the VJ-3 Dual Camera in the field, there was no hesitation that the ViewTech video borescope was the best investment for their team of orbital welding experts.

VJ-3 Video Borescope

The VJ-3 mechanical articulating video borescope is a NDT instrument used for the RVI of machinery, equipment, and components. The VJ-3 facilitates the visual recording and photo documentation of inspection and components in areas that are otherwise inaccessible or require great effort and expense to access directly. The VJ-3 video borescope consists of two modules integrated into one system: an insertion tube with distally mounted camera/LEDs, and the base unit with a control panel, LCD monitor, power source, and all necessary circuitry.

About ViewTech Borescopes

ViewTech Borescopes, founded as RF System Lab in 2008, is North America's #1 seller of video borescopes. Their first product, the VJ borescope, set a new standard for portability, ergonomics, and ease-of-use, with its industry-first mechanical, joystick-controlled articulation.

Fast-Rising Musical Artist Ryan Hagan Unveils New Single – Don’t Let Me Stop

NASHVILLE, Tenn. /ScoopCloud/ -- Pop musical artist, Ryan Hagan, is a voice that's crashed into the music scene, and he's quickly turning heads. His first two singles charted on the radio within one year and he's just released his third, "Don't Let Me Stop." And, it's looking like it won't be his last.

Produced by Grammy-nominated, multi-platinum producer, Bryan Todd, and co-written by Hagan, "Don't Let Me Stop," speaks to people who have been burned in love and need to learn to trust again.

"It's my most authentic song yet," Hagan says.

Hagan and Todd's previous two collaborations, "You Deserve Better" and "Reset" charted on the radio in the U.K. on Music Week's Commercial Pop, Upfront Club and Black Music (formerly "Urban") charts. It went as high as number seven.

Hagan has not always been an aspiring singer/songwriter. His background is steeped in athletics and he's a five-time national wrestling champion. He was also a powerful football and track-and-field athlete during high school. He became a top recruit in his class with the certainty of enrolling in a Division 1 college, but some significant, damaging injuries twisted that path. Always having a passion for music, he decided to give it a serious shot.

So, how did Hagan get here? It all started when a friend connected him with Kim Wood Sandusky, former vocal coach for Beyonce and Destiny's Child.

"I got an audition with her and she asked me to sing something. After 15 seconds, she said, 'We're going to work together.' The rest is pretty much history," Hagan says.

The "Don't Let Me Stop" release timeline is:

April 8: "Don't Let Me Stop" Original

April 16: "Don't Let Me Stop" Remix by Jovan and Steve Smart

April 23: Music video release on VEVO and "Don't Let Me Stop" Remix by Moto Blanco

April 30: "Don't Let Me Stop" Remix by Corrigan

ABOUT RYAN HAGAN

Hagan is an American singer-songwriter named to the "Top 20 Artists of 2020" by "Music Observer," "Best Artist of 2020" by "Nashville Music Reviews" and "Top 20 People to Follow on Instagram" by "US Reporter." He's teetering on the edge of international esteem and planning a European tour, post-pandemic. He ultimately plans to expand his reach in the U.S. to become a critically-acclaimed musical artist.

Attorney, Mother and Child Advocate Melissa Martz Announces Bid for Florida’s 18th Congressional District

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- A tenacious fighter, attorney, mother and anti-child sex trafficking advocate, Melissa Martz begins her congressional campaign to unseat U.S. Congressman Brian Mast in 2022. A main tenet of her platform is to protect the inalienable rights and innate value of each individual in District 18, which covers parts of Port St. Lucie, Fort Pierce, Stuart, Jupiter and Palm Beach.

Having survived childhood sexual abuse, Martz intends to educate others that the blatant exploitation and sexual abuse of children should never be tolerated. Remarks made by Representative Brian Mast on social media about "hooking up with 15, fifteen year olds" and "...don't turn this rape into a murder," make him unfit to hold public office, no matter how much money he is able to raise or how many times he apologizes.

"I appreciate U.S. Representative Mast's service and sacrifice to our country, but there are no answers that can vindicate his voting record against our 2nd Amendment rights or the horrendous comments he made about young girls," Martz states. This is Martz's motivation to avail herself to the community in this trying time.

Melissa Martz is a Constitutionalist, with a moral fire to see the inalienable rights of "We the people," protected by the government, not taken from them. Government intrusion, overreach and outright corruption are happening at alarming rates between lockdowns, election fraud and sexual abuse against our children, which remains underreported.

"It is time for the people to take back their communities, their state, and their nation and it starts here," said Martz.

She is prepared to introduce and support legislation that supports Constitutional rights, restricts government overreach and puts an end to child trafficking.

"I have the backbone, the stamina and the Constitutional expertise to protect the rights of the people," said Martz. "True representation of "we the people" must be free of corruption and abuse."

Melissa Martz is a woman of action. She continues to help represent a group of Palm Beach County residents, on a pro bono basis, against the County mandate, EO-12, which violates the Constitutional rights of the people. Martz understands the role of our government is to protect, not dictate, individual rights. She understands and gives deference to the God-given sovereignty of the individual.

Groundbreaking New Release ‘Be Decent’ Reveals the Secrets of Green Tech

DENVER, Colo. /ScoopCloud/ -- Author and activist Samantha Joule Fow, CEO of Denver-based Axiom Communications, Inc., has published a groundbreaking new book that reveals how anyone and everyone concerned about the environment can use green technology to help address everything from litter to extinction. "Be Decent: Environmental Activism 2.0" (ISBN: 978-1735682815) is available now on Amazon and will be coming to local bookstores soon.

Many people care deeply about the environment but struggle to understand what they can do to prevent the damage being done to our planet by climate change, pollution, extinction, and unsustainable development. The groundbreaking new release "Be Decent: Environmental Activism 2.0" explains how we can all use decentralized green technologies to solve the environmental health and safety issues that are threatening our planet, our communities, and our lives.

"Be Decent" encourages a solution-oriented approach to our most pressing environmental threats. Even in the absence of support from centralized political or economic institutions, communities can use the increasing variety of decentralized technologies - or, as author and activist Samantha Joule Fow refers to it, "decent tech" - to address local environmental problems for themselves. Whether it's creating and sharing content about environmental issues or using the most cutting-edge decentralized digital technologies to build functional carbon trading markets, Be Decent shows how all of us can be decent people with the power of decent tech.

"First and foremost, my goal with this book is to empower people the knowledge that they can make a positive impact on our local and global environmental health," said author Samantha Joule Fow, a vocal environmental advocate and innovation consultant. "It's so easy to feel overwhelmed by things like climate change or the amount of plastic pollution that's accumulating in our oceans. But in truth, there are decentralized green technologies out there that can solve our most pressing environmental problems. Decent people with decent tech can save the planet - all we have to do, is 'Be Decent'!"

"Be Decent: Environmental Activism 2.0" is copyrighted (c) 2021 by Samantha Joule Fow and distributed through Axiom Communications, Inc. and its partners and subsidiaries.

Move For Hunger and Allied Van Lines Renew Partnership In Effort To Fight Hunger Nationwide

RED BANK, N.J. /ScoopCloud/ -- Allied Van Lines, an American moving company founded in 1928, and Move For Hunger, a national hunger relief non-profit organization, announced today a partnership that will help provide much-needed assistance to food banks across the United States. As a partner, Allied Van Lines will support Move For Hunger's food rescue and hunger relief programs. To date, Move For Hunger's network of relocation professionals and multi-family properties has collected and delivered more than 22 million pounds of food - providing over 18 million meals - to food banks and pantries across the United States and Canada.

"We are excited to renew our partnership with Allied Van Lines, as they play an influential role in helping us reach our goal of decreasing food insecurity nationwide," says Adam Lowy, Executive Director and Founder of Move For Hunger. "Last year, Allied Van Lines was able to help us collect over 5 million pounds of non-perishable food. With their assistance and over 128 agents enrolled as members, Allied Van Lines helps us decrease food insecurity nationwide."

Move For Hunger and Allied Van Lines have been partners since 2013 and have helped provide over 4.2 million meals to those in need. Allied Van Lines prides itself on decreasing food insecurity nationwide, similarly to its parent company, SIRVA, who is also a partner of Move For Hunger.

"We are proud of our partnership with Move for Hunger and the impact it's had in our communities," said Lesli Bertoli, President and General Manager of Allied Van lines. "We have loved watching our agents grow increasingly more invested in this cause over the last few years and it brings us great joy to know we are doing our part fighting hunger. We look forward to continuing this partnership."

Over the past 12 months, the need for food has only increased. Due to the pandemic, 5 million more people in the United States are considered food insecure with the total number rising from 37 million to 42 according to a recent report. Through the support of partners like Allied Van Lines, Move For Hunger can continue to fight for the families, individuals, and children who are most in need of food assistance.

Marijuana Home Gardens Announces its Outdoor Grow Hut Kit is Patent Pending – Legal in Arizona

TEMPE, Ariz. /ScoopCloud/ -- Tempe, Arizona-based, Marijuana Home Gardens announces it has filed for a patent on its turnkey Outdoor Marijuana Grow Hut Kit (USPTO application: US 63/163,586).

The passage of the Smart and Safe Act (Arizona Proposition 207) not only made the use of recreational marijuana legal in Arizona, but also, residents are now allowed to grow and harvest for personal use up to 12 marijuana plants per household.

A craft traditionally done indoors and in secret, the new law permits Arizona residents to come out of the shadows and grow high-value marijuana plants outdoors, which has substantial advantages to growing indoors.

With 5 years of experience in growing medicinal marijuana plants, company co-founder, Dante Schettino, has established a successful track record of not only growing outdoors, but all year long during extreme weather conditions from searing heat to freezing temperatures.

"Growing outdoors is tremendously cheaper, significantly safer, easier to maintain, and will result in larger yields," says co-founder Dante Schettino. "While there are plenty of indoor grow kits available for purchase in the marketplace, nobody has created an optimal system for growing outdoors."

For that reason, Schettino and his partners set out to create the Outdoor Grow Hut, a marijuana grow house that maximizes plant growth and minimizes all equipment and maintenance costs.

The Outdoor Grow Hut's patentable design presents a secure structure with limited visibility of the inside plants, but also allows a high degree of sunshine to reach the plants and provides natural air circulation.

The roof is convertible with an open design that permits maximum sunlight exposure during prime growing seasons and can be equipped with additional seasonal tops to protect plants from intense summer sun or trap heat for fall and winter plantings.

Arizona residents can purchase a complete Outdoor Grow Hut kit that includes premium organic super soil, seeds from a third party partner ( http://www.marijuanaseedconnect.com/ ), planter pots, and a watering system.

The company will deliver and install the structure, as well as plant the first seeds. The company also offers optional service contracts where skilled marijuana growers will come to its customers' homes on a weekly basis and cultivate the plants and treat the soil to ensure a constant crop.

"Similar to a pool cleaning service, we will come to your house and do all the gardening and you just sit back and enjoy the benefits," says Schettino.

Because marijuana legalization is a national trend, the company also provides complete Outdoor Grow Hut kits, less the premium organic super soil, for easy nation-wide shipping.

About Marijuana Home Gardens

Based in Tempe, Arizona, Marijuana Home Gardens makes the Outdoor Grow Hut Kit, provides gardening services, and other marijuana harvesting services for Arizona residents.

Georgia Black Women’s Roundtable Break from Battling Voter Suppression to Honor Valiant Women of the Vote

ATLANTA, Ga. /ScoopCloud/ -- Despite the ongoing efforts of many leaders to suppress the voices of Georgia residents, Black and Brown voters turned out in record numbers, electing the most diverse leadership in the state's history. Last week, the Georgia Coalition for the Peoples' Agenda's women's network, Georgia Black Women's Roundtable (BWR), took a short break from their fight against archaic voter suppression laws to recognize the historic leadership of local Black women during a virtual event, "Celebrating Valiant Women of the Vote: Refusing to Be Silenced."

"Black women have worked extremely hard over the past year to make sure every eligible voter was able to cast a ballot that counted without fear or intimidation," said Helen Butler, executive director of the Georgia Coalition for the Peoples' Agenda. "We wanted to take a moment to recognize the impact their service has had on our community, locally and nationally."

The first valiant woman of the vote, Dekalb County Commissioner Mereda Johnson, was elected to serve District 5 in 2015. A co-founding partner with the law firm of Johnson Hopewell Coleman, Commissioner Johnson has been a practicing attorney for more than 33 years, concentrating in family law. In 1985, she became the first Black female judge appointed in DeKalb County Courts.

"I decided to be a part of the change I wanted to see in Dekalb," said Commissioner Johnson. "Everyday I wake up to serve my neighbors and try to improve the quality of life in my community."

Gwinnett County Commissioner Nicole Love Hendrickson was elected chair of the Board of Commissioners in 2020, making her the first African American to hold this position. She was the founding director of the Gwinnett County Community Outreach program where she launched several community-based initiatives and has served on the boards of the United Way Gwinnett Community and the Georgia Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.

Elected in 2020, Henry County Commissioner Carlotta Harrell is the daughter of a pastor and a freedom fighter. She is a managing partner and VP of Business Development with The Harrell Group, a women-owned consulting firm. Commissioner Harrell served as chief of staff for the Henry County Commissioner in District V and was a consultant for the Georgia Conference of African American Mayors, assisting mayors and cities with identifying over $300 million dollars in funding for infrastructure and economic development projects.

Prior to being sworn in as the county's first Black and first woman chairperson, Cobb County Commissioner Lisa Cupid served on the Board of Commissioners for eight years representing District Four. Commissioner Cupid is an attorney and former mediator, policy analyst and manufacturing process engineer. She is known as a strong advocate for the fair treatment of all of Cobb's residents and stakeholders regardless of geographic, demographic or economic standing. Her accomplishments include championing Cobb's newly instituted Sunday transit service and advocating for enhanced public safety measures.

The Rita Jackson Samuels Trailblazer Award was given to Felicia M. Davis, the co-founder of HBCU Green Fund and convener of Clayton County Black Women's Roundtable. Davis has been a staunch advocate for climate justice and spent just as much time promoting voting. Mentored by renowned civil rights leader, Dr. Joseph E. Lowery, Davis has led voter registration, education and mobilization initiatives locally and nationally. She serves on the board of the National Coalition on Black Civic Participation and was a partner with the late Rita Samuels in Women Flying High, a business devoted to increasing women's participation in Atlanta airport contracts.

"My friend, Dr. Rita Jackson Samuels, would be so proud of the historic number of Black women elected officials in Georgia," said Davis. "Rita dedicated her life to women's empowerment, especially getting Black women elected.

With a book trailer that lives up to the high-intensity drama and mythological thrill as the novel, it certainly is a great fantasy book to immerse yourself in.

Fourteen-year-old Amelia Ricci goes to school every day thinking that everything is normal. Same faces. Same friends. Same boring city. Soon she discovers that something is a bit off; that a pack of recluse Tony Hawk wannabes aren't really human. But the scary part is only she can see them. She's the only one who knows their secret. Things start to get really complicated because while she's watching them, they're watching her ... at midnight, at dusk, even in her dreams.

"A delightful mixture of mythological creatures with a fresh twist set in an ordinary city with lots of funny and cool characters. If Twilight and The Lightning Thief had a baby, it would be The Leafwing," says F. Dominguez, Amazon's Top Reviewer.

Kids Read Now closes the opportunity gap for K-3 students – Hawaii students to get free books this summer

HONOLULU, Hawaii /ScoopCloud/ -- Kids Read Now is excited to partner with Ka'ewai Elementary to mail books directly to their students' homes over the summer. Ka'ewai Elementary is the first school district in Hawaii to partner with Kids Read Now to eliminate learning loss and close the opportunity gap for their students. The number of students coast-to-coast in the Kids Read Now program continues to grow with almost 400,000 books being mailed to students in 2020 alone!

Most students will experience reading skill loss over a typical summer break from school. Creating home libraries is key to preventing a steep learning slide due to summer break and recent extended school closures.

"Educators, parents, and students love the KRN program, and it has been proven to eliminate the summer slide and even help kids gain up to 2.5 months of learning over the summer," said Leib Lurie, CEO of Kids Read Now.

The Kids Read Now K-3 summer reading program mails eight new books to students and includes exciting multicultural, fiction, and nonfiction titles loved by children. Mailing books builds ongoing enthusiasm but does not require in-home technology. Each book includes guided discussion questions to help improve reading skills and increase family engagement.

The ninth book of beautifully illustrated creative writing prompts concludes the program so children can write their own stories. Best of all, kids keep their new books!

Kids Read Now is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with the singular mission to eliminate learning loss for all K-3 students.

The New Disk Drill 4.3 for Mac Includes Native Apple M1 Chip Support

ALEXANDRIA, Va. /ScoopCloud/ -- CleverFiles announces the release of their latest update of Disk Drill for Mac. Now the new Disk Drill 4.3 natively deep-scans system drives on Macs powered by Apple's M1 chips without compromising on speed and efficiency of the recovery process.

To achieve the required level of decryption and access, Disk Drill deploys its own kernel extension, known as kext. With a number of system-level and administrator's approvals, this enables Disk Drill to securely search for lost data in all user folders and system locations on the internal drives in macOS Big Sur on M1 Macs.

"Our team has been developing system-level utilities for Macs since 2009. We've been improving Disk Drill for many years to ensure the maximum possible recovery rates, and we are extremely proud to be the first on the market to announce a full support of scanning and recovery from system partitions on Macs powered by Apple M1 chips," says Serge S., the CEO at CleverFiles.

Disk Drill stands out in comparison to other data recovery apps for macOS, as it's the first app to run a native Deep Scan of system drives on Macs powered by Apple's M1 chips. Disk Drill is the only available solution to recover deleted user folders on M1 Macs, unlike other data recovery apps that can't access and scan system locations.

Unlike other apps that run through a compatibility layer of Rosetta, Disk Drill is faster, more efficient, and fully compatible with the newest M1 chips. The same refers to SIP-protected external storage devices connected to M1 Macs - Disk Drill 4.3 is the only app out there that can scan and recover from them.

Recovering lost data from external drives is generally easier than scanning and restoring deleted files from internal or system drives on Macs. This is determined by the level of encryption macOS maintains to ensure its security protocols, including the M1 layer on the newest Mac devices. Disk Drill can find and undelete an accidental removal of user data on the main system drive, like the default Documents, Downloads, Applications and other familiar user folders.

About Disk Drill

Disk Drill can scan and recover over 400 various file types with a press of a single button, right from the computer's internal or external drive, or any supported storage device. Files can be recovered in the original form, or reconstructed byte-by-byte in the event when the file system no longer contains their names or properties.

For fast, reliable file recovery Disk Drill comes with advanced scanning algorithms to identify and reconstruct deleted files in various formats, including the new raw photo, video and audio formats. Updated HFS+, APFS, exFAT, FAT32, and NTFS recovery algorithms, powered by Disk Drill's smart scans, find more recoverable files, which allows for an improved (up to a 200%) recovery efficiency.

Disk Drill can successfully recover lost and deleted data from a computer's internal disk as well as external drives, mobile devices, memory cards, digital cameras, and more. Accidentally deleted files can be easily retrieved with the Quick Scan.

For best recovery results, Disk Drill performs a Deep Scan, a thorough search on the entire drive to reconstruct lost files. In fact, the sequence of algorithms Disk Drill runs in the background is much more complicated than that, and is always adapted to a specific use case, ensuring the best recovery results for one's file system, storage device condition, and other parameters.

Deep Scan is one of the most advanced Disk Drill's recovery algorithms. It works even when hard drives lose their partitions and disk space is marked as unallocated. This Disk Drill release also concentrates on raw photos and videos, and substantially improves their recovery in many ways.

Pricing and Availability

Downloading the free version of Disk Drill 4.3 for Mac, customers can preview the data that can be recovered before upgrading to the Pro version for US $89 at https://www.cleverfiles.com/pro.html.

With a purchase of Disk Drill PRO for Mac, the customer also gets a license letting them use Disk Drill for Windows.

About CleverFiles

CleverFiles is a US-based software development company, specializing in data recovery solutions, creators of Disk Drill for Mac & Windows.

Driving Rhythm and Soaring Lyricism Combine in Brian Field’s Fifth Album, STRING PLAY

NEW YORK, N.Y. /ScoopCloud/ -- Olim Music is proud to announce that "STRING PLAY" by Brian Field, will be released worldwide on Apple Music, Spotify, Amazon Music, Google Music and all digital platforms on April 15, 2021. The classical album highlights a diverse mix of contemporary works for strings ranging from solo violin, duos, quartets to works for string orchestra.

On this fifth album, Field explores a wide range of forms, moods and ensemble groupings, combining driving rhythmic impulses with hints of jazz and post-romantic sensibilities. Fanfare Magazine calls Field "a very fine composer...his music comes across as having a great deal of conviction."

The album opens with his Sonata for Violin and Piano, highlighting the skills of Diana Sargsyan, the concertmaster of the Kandinsky Symphony Orchestra, and transitions to his work for string orchestra performed by the Budapest Philharmonic, "Oliana's Dream of the Sea," which is based upon a short story by the American author William Lychack.

The album also highlights the jazz-inspired work for string orchestra "Four by Four," performed by the Lviv Philharmonic Chamber Orchestra, filled with syncopated rhythms and memorable thematic material.

The collection concludes with Field's "String Quartet #1" in four movements, performed by the ÉxQuartet. Guy Rickards, Gramophone, says, "Listening to [Brian Field's] First Quartet makes me want to hear more. Its four very rhythmic movements are models of concision, real dialogues between the four musicians." The American Music Guide further notes that, "Field's Quartet #1 has a true gem of a second movement: here we get that delicious sense of longing, of needing, as the strings climb higher and higher on their fingerboards: almost like they're attempting to touch heaven."

About Brian Field

Brian Field's music is an eclectic fusion of lyricism and driving rhythm that brings together elements of post-romanticism, minimalism and jazz. A graduate of Connecticut College and the Juilliard School in New York City with a doctorate from Columbia University, Field has studied with Noel Zahler, Milton Babbitt, George Edwards and Mario Davidovsky, among others. A recipient of dozens of awards, his compositions are widely performed, recorded, and distributed worldwide.

On average, credit unions using Sales Boomerang improve their member retention by 11.66% and see a 20 to 40% average lift to loan volume.

"We're proud to be an affiliate member of ACUMA and eager to help credit unions improve mortgage lending services to their members," said Sales Boomerang CEO Alex Kutsishin. "Bringing relevant loan options to members' attention at the most opportune time helps credit unions deliver on their mission.

Top of Mind Debuts Bidirectional Connection Between Its Surefire Automated Mortgage Marketing Platform and Salesforce CRM

ATLANTA, Ga. /ScoopCloud/ -- Top of Mind Networks (Top of Mind) today announced the debut of a bidirectional data connection between Surefire, the number-one platform for automated mortgage marketing, and Salesforce, the world's most popular enterprise CRM. The connection gives mortgage lenders unprecedented choice and control over the way information is shared between their enterprise CRM and mortgage marketing technologies.

Salesforce is not required to reap the benefits of Surefire, which offers native CRM capabilities. However, Top of Mind's tie-in with Salesforce Lightning Connect helps banks, credit unions and independent mortgage companies that have already invested in Salesforce maximize the effectiveness of their marketing programs by playing to the unique strengths of each platform.

"For an enterprise-class lender, there's no better CRM than Salesforce - and there's no better mortgage marketing automation tool than Surefire," said Top of Mind Chief Operating Officer and Chief Technology Officer Erik Enright. "We've made it easy for lenders to leverage the best of both systems and tailor the experience to the exact way they do business."

Top of Mind's connection with Salesforce comes pre-configured with default mapping to Salesforce data fields, making it easy to use out of the box. By adjusting a few simple toggles, lenders can specify exactly what data should be shared between systems, which direction the data should flow and when it should be pushed. For instance, lenders may wish to share just leads and contacts, or they may choose to share tasks, events, emails, and phone call records. Records can be shared as they are created, or they can be shared every time they're updated. Lenders can even create and share custom data fields.

"We built this connection to give mortgage lenders choice and control over the way Salesforce and Surefire work together - without the need to hire a six-figure developer or consultant," said Enright. "Whether loan originators log into both systems or only use one system of record, the data flow can be adjusted to suit."

Lenders that use Salesforce Sales Cloud to manage leads and customers can turn on Top of Mind's marketing automation workflows to engage contacts with dynamic content designed to win new business, earn repeat business and deserve referral business. If a company prefers to build its customer journeys with Salesforce Marketing Cloud instead of Surefire, it can still make its marketing automation more impactful with Top of Mind's award-winning content. And whether a lender uses Salesforce Sales Cloud, Salesforce Marketing Cloud, or both, its marketing program can be greatly enhanced by the application of Top of Mind's Blueprints for Success, a set of mortgage marketing best practices informed by the team's more than 450 years of mortgage industry experience.

For more information about Top of Mind's connection with Salesforce, request a demo.

About Top of Mind Networks:

Founded in 2003, Atlanta-based Top of Mind Networks ( https://www.topofmind.com ) started as a bootstrapped direct-mail marketing company. Today, the company is recognized as the mortgage industry's most-relied-upon provider of marketing automation and creative content solutions. From individuals to enterprise lenders, Top of Mind's SurefireCRM helps thousands of mortgage professionals win new business, earn repeat business and deserve referral business. With intuitive, "set it and forget it" workflows and award-winning content, mortgage professionals can effortlessly maintain and deepen their emotional connections with clients.

Corporate Health and Wellness Expert, Wellness Coaches, Releases Whitepaper on the Increased Risks of COVID-19 to Smokers and Their Employers

BLUE BELL, Pa. /ScoopCloud/ -- As COVID-19 lingers on, management teams across the country are struggling to find effective ways to keep their workforce safe and healthy while also keeping productivity levels up. Wellness Coaches offers a comprehensive look into an overlooked workforce demographic in their new whitepaper, "Smoking Cessation During a Pandemic: A look at the medical and financial costs of smoking for people and organizations."

"Businesses have been focused on creating a blanket approach for all employees regarding coronavirus prevention and stress management," says Justin Thomas, Wellness Coaches' Chief Operating Officer. "Companies may not realize that smoking employees are a higher risk population than non-smoking employees and require a different approach, including a specialized plan for long-term health."

A study of young adults aged 13-24 showed that those who have ever used e-cigarettes were five times more likely to contract COVID-19 than people who do not use tobacco products. Dual users of cigarettes and e-cigarettes were nearly seven times more likely to contract the virus.

Thomas explains further, "The goal of our findings is to help employers better understand the needs of their smoking employee population, what the increased health risks mean to their workforce and organization, and what they can do to help."

The "Smoking Cessation During a Pandemic" whitepaper draws on Wellness Coaches' over 20 years of experience in corporate health and wellness as well as data from the country's leading health organizations.

Top takeaways include:

* The many ways smoking negatively affects the emotional, physical, and financial health of the workforce
* Direct and indirect costs of smoking to organizations
* Recent studies linking smoking to elevated risks of contracting COVID-19
* The challenges of attempting smoking cessation in a high-stress environment
* Tools and approaches to smoking cessation programs in a pandemic

PASADENA, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- KROST CPAs and Consultants, Los Angeles-based firm, receives two new accolades from Accounting Today, Top 100 Firms and Fastest-Growing Firms in the U.S.

New to the list, KROST, ranked No. 78, with an 80.08% change in revenue from last year. Additionally, the firm ranked No. 11 on the Regional Leaders on the West Coast which includes firms in California, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington. The average firm growth was 7.59%, which KROST surpassed with the highest percent change.

KROST ranked No. 1 in the fastest-growing firms list. Accounting Today's Top 100 Firms and Regional Leaders is an annual ranking that recognizes the largest tax and accounting firms by revenue, both nationwide and in specific regions.

"The Regional Leaders on the West Coast, which are usually among the top three groups in performance, dropped into the middle of the pack in terms of growth rate, but nonetheless reported higher revenues from 2020 than in 2019, despite the loss of Squar Milner, which merged into national firm Baker Tilly late in the year. That was thanks in no small part to the addition of KROST, a new entry to the Top 100 Firms and the fastest growing firm in this year's report, as well as OUM & Co., which is new to the regional list this year." - Accounting Today.

"It means a great deal to us to receive these two awards from Accounting Today. It has been a difficult year for our entire industry.

What The World Needs Now is LOVE!

COLUMBUS, Ohio, /ScoopCloud/ -- ByDam Multimedia announces its latest release: "From A Place of Love - My Adoption Journey," an award-winning documentary film from Writer, Producer, Director David Bynum.

In 2018, filmmaker David Bynum began the emotional journey to find his biological family. The feature-length film documents his search to discover who he is and where he came from. The story is told by the people who assisted him along the way.

"From A Place of Love - My Adoption Journey" will premiere April 9, 2021, on streaming services, iTunes/Apple TV, Google Play/YouTube Movies and VUDU. In addition, on July 1 it will begin streaming on Tubi, Xumo and redbox. Currently it's available for Digital Download or Collector's Item DVD on the film's website.

Adoption Network Cleveland recently screened the film as part of the Monday Night Speaker Series. Adoptee Debra Parker Sparrow said, "David, I felt blessed to have seen your journey. I can't wait to share it with others."

"It made me laugh, it made me cry, but most of all it made me feel good. Thank you for sharing your story," said Denny Baker, Stowe, PA.

The film's objective is to give people affected by adoption a clear view of all that goes into the emotional journey of search & reunion. It shows the methods used to find both sides of the filmmaker's biological family in 11 weeks, along with the preparations necessary for the emotional roller-coaster ride associated with the journey.

The film features an original soundtrack scored by Central Ohio composer Doug Espie and original music from Ohio music legend Dean Francis. Ohio Media School graduates Steffon Weston & Mar Jae spearheaded the production team.

"By far, this was the most emotional thing I've ever done in my life. I made this film with the intention of finding the closure I was seeking, while helping others in similar situations," said David Bynum - Director, "From A Place of Love - My Adoption Journey."

David added, "It can be used as a formula to begin their search if they so desire. It explains the things necessary to prepare yourself mentally, physically, and emotionally for whatever you find along your journey. It's my sincere hope this film removes the stigma associated with adoption/foster care while giving people a different view of search &reunion."

Kids Read Now empowers students through book choice – In-home reading program helps West Virginia students

CHARLESTON, W.Va. /ScoopCloud/ -- Kids Read Now has partnered with school districts across West Virginia, including Mineral County Schools and Nicholas County Schools, to mail books directly to their students' homes over the summer. The number of students in the Kids Read Now program continues to grow with almost 400,000 books being mailed to students in 2020 alone!

Most students will experience reading skill loss over a typical summer break from school. Creating home libraries is key to preventing a steep learning slide due to summer break and recent extended school closures. "Students all over the country get books with included family activities mailed to their homes to eradicate the learning losses from summer and now, more urgently, the Covid slide. Kids gain up to 2.5 months of learning over the summer when they get to choose their books," said Leib Lurie, CEO of Kids Read Now.

The Kids Read Now K-3 summer reading program mails eight new books to students and includes exciting multicultural, fiction, and nonfiction titles loved by children. Mailing books builds ongoing enthusiasm but does not require in-home technology. Each book includes guided discussion questions to help improve reading skills and increase family engagement. The ninth book of beautifully illustrated creative writing prompts concludes the program so children can write their own stories. Best of all, kids keep their new books!

Kids Read Now is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with the singular mission to eliminate learning loss for all K-3 students.

Virginia Passes Two Bills Increasing Access to Midwifery Care

SILVER SPRING, Md. /ScoopCloud/ -- It's been a busy and productive legislative season for the American College of Nurse-Midwives (ACNM). The organization is anticipating several wins across the country, but right now is thrilled that two bills in the Commonwealth of Virginia were signed by Governor Ralph Northam this month. It was through careful planning, tireless advocacy and coordinated teamwork that the Virginia ACNM Affiliate was able to make Virginia the eighth state in the country to recognize Certified Midwives (CMs) and the 28th state to allow Certified Nurse-Midwives (CNMs) to practice to the full extent of their education and clinical training and be regulated without physician control.

Virginia joins Delaware, Hawaii, Maine, New Jersey, New York, Oklahoma, and Rhode Island in recognizing the CM credential, increasing access to midwifery care, and potentially improving outcomes for women, babies, and all who need high-quality, individualized sexual and reproductive care.

"With maternal health care deserts throughout the Commonwealth, we need to address care in underserved areas with initiatives that remove barriers to practice unrelated to health and safety. Greater access to maternal healthcare is essential in reducing disparities in maternal and infant mortality and morbidity, and stark racial and class inequities in maternal healthcare access," says Virginia Affiliate President Katie Page, CNM, FACNM.

Page, along with the affiliate legislative committee chair, Nichole Wardlaw, CNM, FACNM, led a fantastic team, including Karen Kelly, CM; Mary Ellen Bouchard, CNM, MS, FACNM; and their lobbyist, Julianne Condrey, at breakneck speed through a very short session of the Virginia General Assembly.

The CM credential was developed in 1994 to expand access to midwifery through multiple educational pathways. The first CM was licensed in 1997. The CM pathway includes a graduate degree in midwifery from a program accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Midwifery Education (ACME) and board certification through the American Midwifery Certification Board (AMCB). CMs differ from CNMs only in that they are not also licensed as nurses. CMs and CNMs meet the same core competencies, sit for the same board exam, and have identical scopes of practice, including prescriptive privileges.

"We are thrilled to see Virginia supporting expanded access to midwifery care," says ACNM President Cathy Collins-Fulea, DNP, CNM, FACNM. "Ensuring midwives are represented at every table is key to mainstreaming midwifery in the United States. We look forward to continuing our work to improve care and reduce inequities in maternal healthcare.

The ACNM Department of Government Affairs and Advocacy has been working hard with dedicated, savvy volunteer affiliate leaders to make full practice authority a reality in all US states and territories. ACNM's vision of midwifery for every community is our guide in all policy making efforts. As Nichole Wardlaw stated about the successful Virginia efforts, "We can't keep doing things the same way and expect different outcomes." Bravo to the Virginia ACNM Affiliate for these two incredible wins for midwives and the people they serve.

About ACNM

With over 6,500 members, ACNM is the professional association that represents certified nurse-midwives (CNMs) and certified midwives (CMs) in the United States. ACNM promotes excellence in midwifery education, clinical practice, and research. With roots dating to 1929, our members are primary care providers for women throughout the lifespan, with a special emphasis on pregnancy, childbirth, and gynecologic and reproductive health. ACNM provides research, administers, and promotes continuing education programs, establishes education and clinical practice standards, and creates liaisons with state and federal agencies and members of Congress to increase the visibility and recognition of midwifery care.

Baxter Clewis Consulting to Partner with PCI Security Standards Council to Help Secure Payment Data Worldwide

DALLAS, Texas /ScoopCloud/ -- Baxter Clewis Consulting, an international consultancy on cyber security, announced today that it has joined the PCI Security Standards Council (PCI SSC) as a new Participating Organization. Baxter Clewis will work with the PCI SSC to help secure payment data worldwide through the ongoing development and adoption of the PCI Security Standards.

The PCI SSC leads a global, cross-industry effort to increase payment security by providing flexible, industry-driven and effective data security standards and programs. The keystone is the PCI Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), which provides an actionable framework for developing a robust payment card data security process and preventing, detecting and mitigating criminal attacks and breaches.

As a Participating Organization, Baxter Clewis adds its voice to the standards development process and will collaborate with a growing community of more than 800 Participating Organizations to improve payment security worldwide. Baxter Clewis will also have the opportunity to recommend new initiatives for consideration to the PCI Security Standards Council and share cross-sector experiences and best practices at the annual PCI Community Meetings.

"In an era of increasingly sophisticated attacks on systems, PCI Security Standards and resources help organizations secure payment data and prevent, detect and mitigate attacks that can lead to costly data breaches," said Lance Johnson, Executive Director of the PCI Security Standards Council. "By joining as a Participating Organization, Baxter Clewis demonstrates they are playing an active part in improving payment security globally by helping drive awareness and adoption of PCI Security Standards."

"Using third-party service providers is an organizational risk from a supply chain, security, and compliance standpoint. Companies should have the assurance that their systems and PCI data is appropriately managed and secured by third-party service providers," said Boyd Clewis, VP of Baxter Clewis Consulting. Baxter Clewis enables service-providers to enhance security and compliance programs while reducing risk with systems, processes, and automation. We are proud to partner with PCI Standards Council, and we look forward to helping address risk related to third-party service providers.

Valerie Geaither, Chair of the ABEP Board of Directors, and a former 20-year resident of North Minneapolis explained that, "After undergoing internal management changes and COVID-19, ABEP like many other organizations paused operations, reorganized and is now moving forward."

ABEP's new Board of Directors were installed following the civil unrest following George Floyd's alleged murder. After initiating a strategic planning process, they hired Debra Hurston as their new Executive Director.

Ms. Hurston's association management background includes national, state, and local organizations. "This is a wonderful opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of residents in North Minneapolis. I could not be more honored to participate in this important initiative," Hurston explained.

Geaither stated that, "The board is confident that working as a team with leaders of the community, funders and government officials, we will continue to move forward on the original goal of establishing the Credit Union."

In addition to meeting with key organizations, ABEP will host community Town Hall meetings this spring to update supporters on the status of the Credit Union.

MISSION

Create prevention and intervention models to address wealth extraction through systems change and the development of products and services that provide generational wealth building opportunities and access to capital while providing an alternative to traditional predatory, culturally incompetent and inequitable practices.

InVideo’s April Fool’s Day ‘World First’ AI Voice Assistant Video Editor Ad Campaign Gets over 2000 New Sign Ups

MUMBAI, India /ScoopCloud/ -- InVideo, the leading video content creation platform, pushed their global reach to new heights, and got over 2000 users signing up thanks to an ingenious April Fool's Day campaign, launching its new artificial intelligence 'hands free' technology.

The campaign was so convincing the company's main competitors even put their names down to be the first in the know on IVA (Intelligent Video Assistant).

InVideo got members of the platform in on the joke, who posed up as members of the BETA group, and posted videos of their own showing themselves using the system, discussing how "brilliant" the new technology was.

The company announced its 'world first' in the days running up to April 1, 2021, inviting people to sign up to be the first to try IVA out.

Using a specially created landing page, CEO of InVideo Sansket Shah demoed IVA and pushed her revolutionary abilities on social media declaring she was not only a rival to Alexa and Siri, but pushing technological frontiers.

The brand also sent out a newsletter getting even more sign-ups with calls to readers to take advantage of their 22nd Century style technology.

The deadline to sign up? Midday Indian Standard Time April 1st of course.

InVideo's Prila Loof (an Anagram of April Fool) who worked with the AI Technology Division of InVideo was quoted as saying: "IVA works by using machine-learning algorithms and neural networking that are a direct copy of the human brain's pathways.

"Once you have given InVideo permission to use the microphone you can speak directly to IVA. Within a couple of minutes, the video is created."

Thousands took the bait on how IVA used the speech and thought patterns of the human brain so users could create videos without lifting a finger.

CEO of InVideo, Sansket Shah revealed to those who signed up: "I'm really sorry about this, but this entire IVA thing isn't true. It's an April Fool's joke. But thank you everyone for participating. We are so sorry for pulling this prank on you."

InVideo made their reveal sending them a newsletter and posting on social media after midday on April 1st it was an April Fool's Day prank.

But while IVA's "look no hands" AI feature doesn't exist on the platform just yet; they believe it will only be a matter of time.

Sansket added: "At some point in this journey of building InVideo, IVA will truly become a reality. It is true it's where we want to go in video content creation in the next 10 - 15 years."
