Pure Transplant Solutions, LLC and University Hospital Basel Announce Research Collaboration

AUSTIN, Texas /ScoopCloud/ -- Pure Transplant Solutions, LLC (PTS), a collaboration driven biotechnology company focused on the development of human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-based diagnostics and therapeutics within the field of transplantation, is proud to announce that it has entered into a research collaboration with The Transplantation Immunology & Nephrology Department of the University Hospital of Basel, to develop new diagnostics for DSA monitoring and characterization in transplant rejection.

The research is being led by Prof. Stefan Schaub, Senior Physician at the Kidney Transplant Center, Gideon Hönger, Senior Researcher within the Transplantation Immunology & Nephrology Department, and Dr. Rico Buchli, Director of Research at PTS and its parent company, Pure Protein, LLC. The research project aims to develop and validate new HLA-antibody affinity/avidity assays.

The initial goal of the collaboration is to gather data that supports the correlation of the measured DSA binding properties with clinical outcomes in renal allograft recipients. If successful, such data will potentially enable a new diagnostic tool delivering a numerical risk factor rating indicating the prospective severity of rejection by classifying individual DSA from 'very harmful' to 'likely harmless.'

"These non-modified and naturally folded HLA monomers of Pure Proteins are ideally suited as reaction partners for patient HLA antibodies and for our intended kinetic measurements," Mr. Hönger stated. "Several research colleagues reported high satisfaction regarding the overall quality and functionality of sHLA from Pure Protein," said Prof. Schaub.

"Today, the immunological risk of an individual transplant patient is mainly assessed by the detection of HLA antibodies and their specificity in serum using single antigen bead assays. We envision that in addition to these tests, we can develop methods to measure the kinetics of donor-specific HLA- antibody interactions with our HLA proteins. If successful, this will provide new insight into HLA antibody pathogenicity that could help improve individual patient care and ultimately increase the lifespan of transplants," said Dr. Buchli.

About Pure Transplant Solutions, LLC

Pure Transplant Solutions, LLC was founded in 1999 in order to leverage the leading research in HLA protein of parent company, Pure Protein, LLC, into solutions to address a growing list of needs in organ transplantation. Visit: http://www.puretransplant.com/.

LBA Ware Issues Q4 2020 Loan Compensation Report, Includes Summary of 2020 Loan Originator Commission Trends

MACON, Ga. /ScoopCloud/ -- LBA Ware™, a leading provider of incentive compensation management (ICM) and business intelligence software solutions for the mortgage industry, today released summary statistics on the state of mortgage industry incentive compensation in the fourth quarter of 2020 and loan originator (LO) commissions for the year as a whole. The firm's analysis of data from its CompenSafe™ ICM platform shows that robust refinance and purchase loan volume in Q4 contributed to markedly higher earnings for both LOs and loan processors in 2020 when compared to the same period in 2019.

Methodology

LBA Ware reviewed account data for mortgage lenders who used CompenSafe to automate incentive compensation throughout the fourth quarters of 2019 and 2020. The controlled, sample dataset consisted of retail, first-lien production from LOs and processors with at least six funded loans during the three-month period beginning October 1, 2020, and ending December 31, 2020. LBA Ware also reviewed full 2020 calendar-year production for the same sample dataset.

Q4 2020 Key Findings

* Total loan volume funded increased 106% in Q4 2020 compared to Q4 2019.
* LO headcount increased 27% year-over-year.
* Average individual production in Q4 2020 was $2.6M per month, an increase of 63% from $1.6M in Q4 2019.
* Per-loan LO commissions held relatively steady, decreasing 0.2% from 105.4 basis points (BPS) in Q4 2019 to 105.2 BPS in Q4 2020.
* Purchase volume grew 71% year-over-year with LOs averaging $1.35M in funded purchase loans per month in Q4 2020 (a 38% increase from $0.98M in Q4 2019) and receiving on average 111.1 BPS per purchase loan (up from 109.1 BPS in Q4 2019).
* Refinance volume grew 158%, accounting for 51% of total volume funded in Q4 2020 (versus only 41% of total volume funded in Q4 2019). LO commissions on refinance loans remained steady at 99.3 BPS in Q4 2020 compared to 99.2 BPS in Q4 2019.
* Processor headcount increased 51% year-over-year, allowing this group to handle 99% more loan files in Q4 2020 compared to Q4 2019.
* Per-loan bonus compensation earned by processors increased 21% to $128 per loan in Q4 2020 ($106 in 2019), earning processors an average production bonus of $2,503 per month ($1,569 in 2019).

2020 Loan Originator Commission Trends

* On average, LOs funded $20.4M in annual volume in 2020, with transactions split evenly at 50% purchase loans, 50% refinance loans.
* Per-loan commissions earned by LOs in 2020 averaged 105.5 BPS, with refinance loans averaging 100.2 BPS and purchase loans averaging 110.6 BPS.

"Low interest rates flamed an increased demand for mortgage activity, which in turn benefited LOs and processors. They were rewarded for their long hours with robust compensation checks," said LBA Ware Founder and CEO Lori Brewer. "As rates are predicted to rise in 2021 and for several years to come, loan teams that wish to maintain their earnings would do well to put a strategy in place that enables them to offset waning refi volume with more purchase volume."

Vistamar School Begins Construction on New Viking Commons

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- The COVID-19 pandemic has heightened many issues of inequity across our region. Vistamar School, an independent college preparatory day school serving grades 9-12, announced construction started this week on the Viking Commons, a new commercial kitchen and gathering space for the school.

The commercial kitchen will provide a nutritious lunch daily for the entire school community, and the innovative communal space will expand ways for Vistamar's students, faculty, and staff to connect. Construction is planned to be completed by August, 2021 for the start of the new school year.

"Our school is built on community and equity. The Viking Commons will provide an important way for everyone in our school community to come together daily over a great equalizer, food," stated Chris Bright, Vistamar Head of School. "We're removing the stress of having to figure out what to do about lunch each day for everyone in the school and instead, providing an array of healthful food options at no added daily charge in a beautiful space to meet."

Design of the Viking Commons has been a collaborative process. Originally envisioned by school leadership working together with the Board of Trustees, the year-long design and fundraising process has incorporated the work of trustees, staff, parents, and the architect, OKB Architecture. The interdisciplinary project team worked diligently using an efficient, cost effective approach to maximize the positive impacts of the project while minimizing funding needed. Care was taken to echo the innovative, open space design of the school.

"As a school committed to best practices in education, our campus design deliberately accommodates and supports the dynamic needs of the community," said Kris Rone, Chair of Vistamar's Board of Trustees and parent of students, classes of '18 and '21. "The Viking Commons will be one of our most dramatic building upgrades since the School was founded."

Vistamar's community is supporting the project enthusiastically and looking forward to the opening when we return to school in August. "The Viking Commons is a natural enhancement to our school, transforming an office area and small commons area into an open-plan, state of the art kitchen and servery and a dynamic and inviting space to gather," noted Chris Bright, "and we're proud to add this powerful enhancement of our school culture and wellness focus."

About Vistamar School

Vistamar, founded in 2005, is an independent college preparatory day school serving grades 9-12. The founders' vision was to tap into the diversity of Los Angeles to bring together students who could learn from each other the skills and attitudes necessary for global citizenship. The Vistamar mission rests on three pillars: challenging academics that engage and inspire students; an intimate atmosphere that supports students with caring relationships; and a diverse community that encourages the authentic exchange of perspectives and leads students to be comfortable crossing cultural boundaries. Vistamar believes there's a better way to do high school.

Paramount Property Tax Appeal Offering a Free New Years Evaluation for Affluent Homeowners & Business Property Owners, RE: ‘Feb 16 Changes to Tax Laws & Tax-Reduction Solutions’

SAN DIEGO, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- With only 20 days left before CA tax laws change, imposing limitations on property tax relief - property tax reduction firm Paramount Property Tax Appeal is ushering in the New Year with a free New Years evaluation for California families, affluent homeowners and all types of business property owners - to determine what steps to take to lower their property tax bill.

The firm is reportedly so confident of their 80% success rate minimizing property taxes for families and businesses - Paramount is taking the unprecedented step of inviting property owners to call or stop by for a free New Years consultation & evaluation concerning requirements for a residential or business property tax appeal or property tax reduction, home and business property appraisal; as well as organizing and completing tax compliance paperwork for business personal property.

President of Paramount, Mr. Wes Nichols, says: "It's an all-hands on deck situation right now. It's critical to ensure your children can inherit and preserve a low Prop 13 basis from you! We are strongly advising all California property owners that property tax relief will be limited after Feb. 16, by the Prop 19 changes to Proposition 58's Parent-to-Child Exemption. There are only 20 days left to prepare, evaluate and potentially appeal property taxes - usually reducing property tax by 20% to 30%... Not following through on this may cost families and businesses thousands of dollars in unexpected, additional property taxes."

Mr. Nichols explains: "California property owners are facing a property tax deadline we've never faced before; that concludes 3-weeks from now - imposed by new tax law Proposition 19. All residential and commercial property owners have to complete estate planning and tax reduction paperwork by Feb. 15, 2021. When Prop 19 kicks in Feb. 16, the doors for California property tax relief protected by Proposition 13 and Proposition 58 slam shut for properties that are not owner-occupied homes within 12-months. In other words, homes, apt. buildings and other commercial properties will all be assessed at current, full-market value when you transfer title to your children..."

The corporate president elaborates: "We do enjoy helping people, no matter what their net worth or property values are; which is why we're offering a free consultation this year - and we can't emphasize enough how important it is for families and business owners to get in right now - this week - to see us, so we can evaluate their estate planning and property tax situation, and complete all the paperwork to lock in their future tax base at a lower rate. With Proposition 19 becoming property tax law, Californians only have 20 days left to lower their property taxes and complete estate planning, in order to pass down low assessed values to their children."

Paramount Property Tax Appeal is reportedly one of the few property tax firms in California that provides a large staff with well known, world-class tax attorneys and complex data-systems for proprietary tax reduction solutions and property tax appeal programs - guaranteeing parents the ability to pass down their low assessed value in the future to their children. Even if property is held in an LLC or a trust.

Mr. Nichols concludes: "It bears repeating - After Feb 16, 2021 you can no longer transfer your Proposition 13 basis to your children! This year, Californians face unprecedented tax challenges unlike any time in recent history... due partly to the Covid shutdowns and resulting economic crisis, severely impacting property values and estate planning. Families with estate planning needs have to realize they only have weeks left before their ability to take advantage of certain property tax breaks from CA Proposition 13 and Proposition 58 disappears - when Proposition 19 becomes active. This will dismantle certain tax breaks previously safeguarded by the Parent-to-Child Exemption, allowing homeowners to avoid property tax reassessment."

To get a free New Years evaluation for estate planning, trusts, property tax appeals and tax reduction - property owners can call the Paramount headquarters at (858) 225-1200 with the option to discuss over the phone, or to come in and review their property tax and/or business personal property tax needs with a property tax specialist.

New Book Helps People to Deal with Loss During the Pandemic

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio /ScoopCloud/ -- When Gina Marie Mordecki's daughter was raped and murdered, she prayed that her death would not be in vain. Her new book, "God's Amazing Intimacy in Grief" (ISBN: 979-8578563751), is the answer to that prayer. Mordecki's book is written to help heal the hearts of others who have experienced the tragic loss of a loved one.

"Right now, we're living through a terrible pandemic and people are dying," Mordecki said. "People are dying alone and their loved ones are left behind to cope with a reality of inconsolable sadness. I want this book to offer some comfort and perhaps, even provide some answers."

After Mordecki's daughter was murdered, people didn't know what to say.

"It's one thing to say, 'I'm sorry for your loss,' but it's quite another to live in a house with an empty place setting at the dinner table," she says. "And, for people suffering loss during the pandemic, the suffering is only compounded through quarantining and "stay-at-home" orders."

"God's Amazing Intimacy in Grief" is a short read, less than an hour, that serves to minister to people while they grieve. It asks and answers important questions such as "Why now?" and helps people to understand and resolve their anger with God. It shares stories of others who have lost children and details how they found their way out of the darkness.

Mordecki's personal account of her tragic loss shares personal experiences of how God tried to prepare her for the loss and then helped her to deal with the inevitable outcome. The book also references specific scripture and offers interpretation.

"God's Amazing Intimacy in Grief" is available on Amazon for 0.99 as an eBook and $5.99 in paperback format.

Online Matchmaker Carly Spindel Is Seeking an Investment Of $650,000 For 10% of Flash Match NYC

NEW YORK CITY, N.Y. /ScoopCloud/ -- Carly Spindel, a second-generation matchmaker, and founder of Janis Spindel Serious Matchmaking Inc., recently created the first of its kind: online dating + online matchmaking + one-on-one matchmaking = Flash Match NYC.

"Flash Match NYC is a do-it-yourself online matchmaking service where it's automated with suggested matches and Carly approves each match," says Janis Spindel. All members being matched with clients have gone through a double screening process that includes meeting Carly and Janis in person. Clients are assured the members are authentic.

"In the matchmaking and online dating industry, we have a competitive advantage, as 40 percent of my beta test clients renewed at least one time with the introductory offer of $1,000 for 3 personally vetted matches," said company CEO Carly Spindel.

As a true entrepreneur, in the words of the HBS Entrepreneur's Handbook, Carly built Flash Match NYC to "sweep away established technologies, products, and ways of doing things and replacing them with others that the market place as a whole sees representing greater value."

There are 3 plans for Flash Match NYC: $5,000 for 4 introductions, $10,000 for 10 introductions or $15,000 for 18 introductions. Carly Spindel is offering a Limited Time Valentine's Day Launch offer of $1,000 for 3 introductions. (See terms and conditions on website.)

Yiftee Surpasses 200 Community eGift Card Programs

MENLO PARK, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Yiftee, Inc., a leader since 2012 in local business eGift Cards, celebrates having implemented over 200 Community eGift Card Programs across the United States. Consumers, corporations, schools, hospitals and other organizations showed their heartfelt support of small business by buying millions of dollars' worth of cards that can only be spent in their local communities. Yiftee closed out 2020 on a high note, with many communities making over $100,000 in revenue for their local businesses.

The Yiftee Community Card Program has been helping small businesses across the U.S. weather the Covid-19 storm by offering a multi-brand eGift card that can be used at many participating businesses in a cohesive geography - a city, town, neighborhood or business improvement district. Branded for the community, these cards have many uses from personal to corporate, in addition to making the giver feel good for their connection to and support of the community. With potentially hundreds of choices for how to spend the card, multi-brand Community Cards are more versatile and valuable to buyers than any single-brand card.

Bonus Programs Multiply Funds Going to Local Businesses

Community Cards are available in places of all shapes and sizes. Many communities were able to run promotions during the holiday period, with bonus funds available from local employers, city governments, corporate donors, visitor bureaus and state and federal funding programs such as the CARES Act.

The Amherst Chamber of Commerce and Erie County, NY partnered to launch the Shop 716 card to support their almost one million residents and over 700 participating independent businesses. They launched in mid-November with a free promotional match utilizing CARES Act funding that resulted in an astounding $1.1 million in sales in eight weeks. The incredibly successful program was well received by the community and the merchants stressing the urgency to support local for the pandemic stricken businesses.

Erie County Executive Mark C. Poloncarz expressed the continued need, "While we continue to balance the safety of the community and the much-needed commerce for our local independent businesses, the Shop 716 program emphasizes the shop local theme encouraging residents to assist in this effort. Keeping our businesses open helps them employ our family, friends and neighbors." Yiftee implemented six-figure holiday bonus programs in Boulder CO, Fenton MI, Frisco CO, Nashville TN, Royal Oak MI, Whatcom County WA and others.

On a smaller scale, in North Bay Village, FL, population 8,300, Community Card organizer Cynder Haines commented, "Yiftee has made it easy for us to distribute tens of thousands of dollars to support our residents and local businesses, and we're already seeing thousands of dollars more being spent. Yiftee is a great service, and it adds a lot of value for us as a small city. Thank you so much!" Yiftee has Community Cards in many more small towns like Del Mar CA, Hastings on Hudson NY, Lancaster SC, Pleasantville IA and Zelienople PA.

Employees Get Many Choices

"Evans Bank appreciates the leadership of Erie County and the Amherst Chamber in quickly mobilizing this program to support Erie County businesses in response to COVID-19," said David J. Nasca, President & CEO of Evans Bank. "We provided Shop 716 gift cards to all of our associates during the holidays and they greatly appreciated the opportunity to assist the stressed small businesses in our community when they most needed it. We continue to encourage our customers to shop local and our business clients to participate in the program."

Annette Cornish, Management Assistant, sent several dozen Downtown Hillsboro OR cards on behalf of her organization. "I have had feedback from several employees." she said. "They are very excited about the gifts and being able to support our downtown vendors. Your gift has been a morale boost during these hard pandemic times."

Simple to Create and No Cost for Organizers or Merchants

Communities interested in implementing a Community Card program can sign up for a demo. Starting a Community Card program is simple and Yiftee provides plenty of support and launch materials.

PARKK App Solves Growing RV Market Parking Dilemmas

PASO ROBLES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Parkk, the first RV focused parking app that allows travelers to reserve private RV parking in advance, today announced the parking technology is now available on both iPhone and Android, so RV travelers will no longer have to limit their travel routes based on current RV parking options.

"Parkk solves multiple fundamental travel issues by increasing parking availability for the RVer. Today travel routes are often limited to routes with close proximity to existing RV parking lots. Through our app, travelers can simply park in any registered Parkk driveway, along any route they choose," said founder and CEO, Jason Ratzlaff. "With Parkk, every registered driveway becomes a potential RV parking spot, opening up all new routes for RV travelers. We are also pleased to offer driveway owners across the country an opportunity to monetize the spaces they already own."

The timing on the app release could not be more beneficial, as COVID-19 has spurred major growth in the RV industry as a way to explore "safe" travel. In the Midwest alone, bookings for RV rentals were up 30% the second week in May compared with the same period last year. Reservations have climbed 331% since early April (*Note 1). Roughly 40 million people a year go RV camping with those numbers only continuing to increase as the activity gains favor with the millennial demographic (*note 2).

Parkk makes more RV spaces available, (a critical point as more RVs hit the road and are more likely to overwhelm current parking/camp sites) however it also supports the existing RV parks to gain exposure and reduce costs. RV park owners can replace their costly booking software with free access to Parkk to manage all reservations, while simultaneously gaining market exposure to a new audience of travelers.

To register and monetize your own driveway or find your next RV parking spot download Parkk on Google Play here or for your Apple products, download here.

AmTrav Launches Innovative Flight Shopping Experience for Business Travelers and Travel Managers

AGOURA HILLS, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- AmTrav, the one-stop platform for business travel, announced today the launch of its brand-new flight shopping experience in their award winning a2b booking tool.

"The business travel industry has been talking and talking about how to close content gaps and improve air shopping for almost a decade," said AmTrav CEO Jeff Klee. "But, despite countless working groups and forums, more three letter acronyms have emerged than customer benefits."

Referring to the industry's fledgling New Distribution Capability initiative (NDC), Klee added: "Most TMCs are waiting around for others in the industry to solve their travelers' problems, but we've committed to tackling these challenges ourselves, without waiting for production-ready NDC. We spent 2020 iterating, connecting to different data sources and curating our own content to deliver tangible benefits now. We're still far from the finish line, but we're way ahead of everyone else in the race to help customers easily find the flights and fares that they need."

Although AmTrav has been showing travelers all of the available fare brands on every flight since 2017 and was the first TMC to go live with a basic Next Generation Storefront (NGS) display in 2019, the new experience has been rebuilt and reimagined around the changing ways that airlines offer their products the resulting frustration for travelers who either are not presented all the options or aren't able to adequately compare them.

Beginning with a fresh slate, fresh colors and fonts, a2b's new design allows bookers to compare flights and fares, quickly finding just the right option:

* Inspired by the most current NGS standard, the new flight display shows all available fares aligned vertically, so customers won't accidentally compare a Basic Economy fare to a Regular Economy fare, can find cheaper options for similar products, and can spot when extra legroom or a premium seat is available for a small buyup.

* Since fare brands are complicated and confusing -- what's the difference between this Basic fare and that Basic fare, and what's a Blue fare? -- travelers can quickly compare fares from the same flight or across multiple flights to see the seat details, flight amenities, baggage allowances and change policies side-by-side for easy apples-to-apples comparison.

* Seats matter a lot, so not only does AmTrav show a preview of available seats on the seat map plus seat details like width, legroom and whether it's a lie-flat or even all-aisle access, but customers can also see AmTrav-curated onboard images and detailed reviews for 83 different airline/aircraft combinations, with more being added.

* Road warriors know that in-flight amenities are not all created equal so AmTrav lets travelers drill down beyond the standard WiFi and in-flight entertainment icons to answer questions like "How fast is this WiFi?", "Does it work gate to gate?", "What's the quality of this video screen and what can I watch on it -- live TV, on-demand movies and more?"

* Although it's not uncommon for booking tools to allow travelers to filter flights by time, airlines, airports, or number of stops, AmTrav now lets you filter by amenities, too, so you can see only flights that have fast WiFi, in seat power, middle seats blocked, or all aisle access in business class, to name a few.

* The new flight shopping experience includes full support for AmTrav-negotiated or

* company-negotiated fare bundles to streamline purchase of seat upgrades, baggage, wifi and more -- travelers can clearly see what's included and book these new offerings right in the tool.

As always, AmTrav's new flight shopping display automatically applies companies' travel policies, pre-trip approvals and negotiated discounts so bookers can easily pick fares that work for both the traveler and the company.

Content sources used in the new flight display include Routehappy by ATPCO, NDC content from 3 airlines (with more coming soon), multiple GDSs, and content developed and collected by AmTrav.

"With AmTrav, you can have it all in one package that's designed for you: a consumer-grade booking tool, ready-to-help expert Travel Advisors and Relationship managers, and flexible, accurate reporting and controls," said AmTrav President Craig Fichtelberg. "Traditionally companies had to choose between a slow, antiquated booking tool that bookers dread using or a wild-west approach with no controls that left travel administrators to collect spending data and track travelers in spreadsheets."

Hear from Jeff about his inspiration and the process of creating the new booking tool, and see a video tour of the redesigned flight shopping, here: https://www.amtrav.com/blog/new-year-faster-flight-selection-with-amtrav

MC Companies and Move For Hunger Announce Collaborative Effort to Fight Hunger Nationwide

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. /ScoopCloud/ -- MC Companies - a leading Real Estate Investment and Management Company, and Move For Hunger - a national hunger relief non-profit organization, announced a new partnership that will fight hunger and reduce food waste nationwide. With estimates showing that the number of Americans facing hunger in 2020 increased by 46% due to the Covid-19 pandemic - that's 17 million more people - the collaborative efforts of MC Companies and Move For Hunger have never been more important than they are right now.

People throw away a lot of things when they move, including perfectly good food. Move For Hunger's network of more than 1,000 moving companies, more than 1,500 multifamily apartment communities, and many of the world's leading relocation management companies, volunteer to collect this unopened, non-perishable food and deliver it to their local food banks. To date, Move For Hunger's network of relocation professionals and multifamily properties has collected and delivered more than 20 million pounds of food - providing 17 million meals - to food banks and pantries across the United States and Canada.

The partnership will enable MC Companies to support Move For Hunger's food rescue programs and encourage their properties, associations, & vendors they work with to integrate the Move For Hunger model into the moving out process for residents. It will also provide the opportunity to continue to expand the Move For Hunger network: a robust community of engaged individuals that want to make a difference in the lives of others and have the resources available to create large scale change.

"Partnering with MC Companies both complements and advances our mission, so this collaboration was a natural fit," said Adam Lowy, Executive Director and Founder of Move For Hunger. "With such devastating hunger statistics all around the country, the support of MC Companies will help strengthen our efforts and allow us to provide meals to those struggling to put food on the table."

"The mission for MC Companies and our philanthropic arm the Sharing the Good Life Foundation is to improve the communities where we operate our Real Estate. The partnership with Move For Hunger gives us the opportunity to help provide meals to our communities in need," said Lesley Brice, President and Partner at MC Companies

Rates of household food insecurity are going to remain high for the foreseeable future. Food banks, pantries, and shelters are the only places millions of people can turn to for help. Through the support of partners like MC Companies, Move For Hunger and MC Companies are committed to doing their part to fight for the families, children, seniors, and vulnerable communities who lack reliable access to affordable, nutritious food.

Move For Hunger is a national non-profit organization that has created a sustainable way to reduce food waste and fight hunger. We have mobilized the leaders of moving, relocation, and multifamily industries to provide their customers, clients, and residents with the opportunity to donate their food when they move. Members of Move For Hunger also organize community food drives, participate in awareness campaigns, and create employee engagement programs.

Mom and Pop Baby Business Goes Nationwide

NEW YORK, N.Y. /ScoopCloud/ -- ANB Baby, a one-stop-shopping resource for first-time parents, recently gave its brand a fresh new look and feel. While a new website and logo gives the brand a contemporary edge, the most talked about change is the company's newfound ability to connect with parents on a variety of levels.

"We're not just selling products, we're creating a community of expecting and new-born parents and want them to know that we understand their evolving needs when it comes to baby care," Ari Goodman, managing director, ANB Baby, says.

To meet this end, a full social media team was hired and will focus on not just social media content, but video tutorials, educational services, blogs, newsletters and parent affirmations. A brand ambassador program is in the works too.

Content, as well as product information, is now better organized to make it easier for customers to find products at a glance. It has a robust inventory of popular items such as strollers, car seats, toys, maternity/postpartum items and other quality baby gear. Image quality is also greatly enhanced and overall, the site is more interactive and user-friendly.

In addition to the re-branding, ANB Baby also has a new logistics center to more efficiently service customers, while lowering shipping costs.

"Our primary goal is to create lasting relationships with our customers," Goodman says. "We want to help our customers from pregnancy through the early years with not just products, but by offering education and support too."

ANB Baby plans to roll out a second phase of its re-branding to include concierge services, a baby registry, reward programs and an affiliate program.

It currently has one location in Brooklyn, NY with future plans for expansion and plans to maintain the current "mom and pop" feel of the shop while servicing customers, nationwide.

About ANB Baby

Eternal NYC Restaurant Week: Doctor LASEK’s Anecdote

NEW YORK CITY, N.Y. /ScoopCloud/ -- Park Avenue LASEK shared today the person behind the continuity of the exuberant NYC Restaurant Week for all these years: Emil Chynn. New York restaurant week is one of the most famous institutions for food enthusiasts in the United States. It provides the opportunity for the average person to enjoy and experience gourmet haute cuisine at famous establishments, many of which have Michelin star ratings, that they would otherwise not be able to afford.

Restaurant week started as a onetime affair for the Democratic National Convention in 1992. It was a great success for all the delegates attending from out of town. Almost nobody knows who had the idea of extending restaurant week to become a permanent annual event. Interestingly, the person who came up with this idea was not a chef, nor a restaurant owner, nor a food critic, rather a prominent eye surgeon who was born in NYC and had an interest in cuisine.

"Why would I, Emil Chynn, be interested in extending restaurant week and putting my life at risk for fellow New Yorkers who are also strangers? Because I am very New York loyal and as a native New Yorker I am committed to doing initiatives to help my community," he says.

"For example, in the West Village I put up a lending library so that neighbors can borrow, lend, and trade books which was extremely useful during the pandemic because people were at home without normal social interaction. The following is the editorial I wrote to the New York Times which was published on July 15, 1992 with the idea of extending restaurant week to become an everlasting event and this initiative succeeded because it was rapidly adopted by several celebrity chefs.

"This year Restaurant Week is taking on added significance because of the pandemic as New Yorkers have faced a challenge of being the number one hotspot the past spring in terms of death. I was one of the few eye surgeons in Manhattan who kept my office open throughout the pandemic and I believe that New Yorkers need an occasion to cheer themselves up. Therefore, I am supporting Restaurant Week this year by giving coupons to anyone who visits my office for a Free LASEK Consultation to enjoy Restaurant Week on me!"

He adds, "Don't get me wrong. I'm as glad as the next New Yorker that we put on our best face for the Democratic National Convention. But why can't some of the great events we came up with be repeated every year?

"Today, for example, I had a memorable lunch at elegant Le Perigord for $19, courtesy of the delegate dine-out program. This evening, I strolled along Fifth Avenue, which was turned briefly into a pedestrian mall, with every museum along Museum Mile free to the public, and street artists and musicians performing on each corner. This, too, was organized for the convention.

"Finally, on my way home, I debated about taking the subway, which was particularly scary just last week. I needn't have worried. On the platform to greet me were not one but four of New York's finest.

"I realize these are days of financial constraint. But many of the best events were privately, not publicly, funded. If American Express and Coca-Cola can sponsor the dine-out program this year, why not every year, perhaps on a smaller scale, with more sponsors? Many participating restaurants, I hear, made money on the promotion, with free exposure, to boot. It takes imagination and commitment to improve our city. For the convention, New Yorkers have shown that we have imagination. Now let's see if our leaders have the commitment. EMIL WILLIAM CHYNN New York, July 15, 1992."

About Emil Chynn, Park Avenue LASEK:

Based in NYC, NY. Park Avenue LASEK, owned by Emil Chynn, is the largest non-cutting laser vision correction in the United States, and has been featured on CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox, Discovery Channel, and in the New York Times and Wall Street Journal. He was the first eye surgeon in New York to get LASIK himself, and in 2001 switched to the newer, safer, non-cutting LASEK procedure, and since then has performed about 25,000 LASEKs, which is the most of any surgeon in the United States.

In 2019 Chynn became the first eye surgeon in the world to perform LASEK on himself, which he did to emphasize that this newer, safer, non-cutting procedure that he helped invent while at Harvard is so much safer than the older cutting LASIK procedure that it is possible to laser his own self! He was also the first doctor to arrive at ground zero on 9/11 and was the only medical doctor on that day who set up the triage center and emergency room.

Join Rick Ross, 2 Chainz, and Jack Harlow Celebrate the Big Game in ‘Anything Glows’ Style

TAMPA, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- Award-winning Rap artists Rick Ross, 2 Chainz, and Jack Harlow are going to light up Tampa at a pre-game party you do not want to miss. "Super Glow Tampa is going to transform - for just one night - the iconic Dallas Bull into the coolest, Glow in the Dark Rap nightclub Tampa has ever seen," said Event Producer Melody Robles, owner of Melody Lives Fit Productions.

The party will kick off Big Game LV weekend festivities Feb. 5 at the Dallas Bull, located at 3322 US 301 in Tampa. Doors open at 9 p.m.

In addition to the legendary musicians, the night will also feature dancers, DJ Kid Nemesis, and live art performances.

General admission, VIP tickets, and a limited number of right-in-front-of-the-stage VIP tables are available at the event website, http://superglowtampa.com/.

Because of reduced capacity to adhere with CDC guidelines, tickets are expected to go fast.

Grammy® nominated Rick Ross is a larger-than-life rap star who has dominated the hip-hop world for over a decade, mentoring artists such as Meek Mill and collaborating with fellow superstars such as Drake and Jay-Z. His 11th album - sure to be another hit - will be released this year.

American webcast series Verzuz invites two music icons to square off in a "battle" for bragging rights as the musicians DJ their greatest hits. In August 2020, Ross squared off with 2 Chainz, who will also be hosting at the first-ever Super Glow Party.

2 Chainz is an Atlanta rap veteran, whose origins were in the duo Playaz Circle followed by a stint with Ludacris' Disturbing tha Peace crew. Now, he is one of the hottest rappers in the game, and his sixth studio album, So Help Me God, just dropped in November of 2020.

Maverick rapper Jack Harlow joins these star-studded hosts on the Dallas Bull stage. Harlow's popularity has been meteoric since the release of his 3rd Platinum single, "WHATS POPPIN,, in 2020. At 22, he is a relative newcomer to the hip hop scene, but his success is the stuff of legend, with BET Hip Hop nominations and the Billboard Top 100 already under his belt.

Come see all three artists on one great stage February 5 at this Anything Glows event!
