MCT Fortifies Its Team of Mortgage Industry Leaders Before 2020 Market Volatility

SAN DIEGO, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Mortgage Capital Trading, Inc. (MCT), a leading mortgage hedge advisory and secondary marketing software firm, announced that it appointed two mortgage industry veterans in early 2020 which strengthen its support to the capital markets community during the worldwide pandemic and associated financial turbulence. In each of their roles, Page Woodall, Senior Regional Sales Director, and Dave Bricker, Chief Financial Officer, offer their own mortgage expertise to meet the growing demand for expert leadership during these volatile times.

Through perseverance and the support of the staff at MCT, each of these new hires succeeded in their roles and beyond, despite considerable uncertainty in the capital markets industry and global economy during their first months.

Page Woodall is MCT's Senior Sales Director who has almost twenty years of industry experience. During his time at Nationstar Mortgage (now known as Mr. Cooper), Mr. Woodall had the unique opportunity to start a new Correspondent channel and successfully grow his territory into one of the largest producing territories. He brings a tenacity to MCT to proactively serve his clients and keep them informed through periods of market volatility.

"I was a fan of MCT prior to coming on board, as I had seen all the good work they had done with several of my clients over the years. I am a bigger fan now seeing the total commitment to the client, open communication, and help provided to navigate accounts out of harm's way. I also was moved by Curtis's concern during this crisis for all the employees and the safety of them and their families," said Mr. Woodall.

He is joined by Dave Bricker, who comes on board as MCT's Chief Financial Officer. He has a successful history of varied senior financial roles including CFO, Chief Accounting Officer, SVP of Finance and Chief Auditor. He had previously consulted with MCT prior to coming onboard and was well versed with MCT's customized processes. Mr. Bricker is focused on leveraging his outside expertise to build on the current financial foundation at MCT. In doing so, he hopes to provide senior leaders with better financial information for well-informed decisions. Despite the uncertainty and financial challenges associated with the pandemic, Mr. Bricker was able to have an immediate positive and stabilizing impact on MCT.

"The support that I've received so far has been great from all areas of the company. I've been extremely impressed by the company's ability to pivot to a Work-from-Home workforce so quickly and without negative impact to our clients," Mr. Bricker remarks, "It's as if the company has always operated in this manner."

MCT is grateful that these newest players were able to hit the ground running to keep up with the huge demand by the capital markets industry for market volatility guidance. With their combined experiences and knowledge, they will continue to provide support to MCT and clients, mitigating risk and increasing outcomes during this challenging time.

The company is confident in its new feature and claims that the corporate world can also use it. According to them, it is a useful feature for organizations who are worried about their employees and company data.

New Exchange OST Recovery Tool Repairs 96.78% of Errors

NEW YORK, N.Y. /ScoopCloud/ -- DataNumen releases a new major update for its Exchange OST Recovery tool. With the new version the software once again proves its status of one of the most efficient recovery tools for Microsoft Exchange Server on the market with its nearly 97% successful recovery rate.

Microsoft Exchange Server is an enterprise mail server that finds a lot of use among small, medium and large size businesses. No surprise, the standard functionality has its flaws. When Exchange Server is down for various reasons, it will leave orphaned OST files on users' local computers. Such orphaned files still contain information, but Outlook is no longer able to load them.

Recovering Microsoft Exchange's data is the main goal of DataNumen Exchange Recovery. The tool takes an unreadable OST file and converts it to the PST format. Then, a user can simply open this PST file in Outlook as usual. This main function is supported by a plethora of secondary functions. For instance, the program can detect and fix damages in corrupted OST files, recover calendars, tasks, folders and appointments. In just one semi-automatic run, the tool can recover the majority of information from an unreadable OST file, and save it to a provided PST.

The new version 7.2 is a further enhancement of DataNumen Exchange Recovery capabilities. The tool can now deal with enormously big files while consuming less memory compared to previous versions. Users can easily recover multiple OST files in the batch mode, which takes only so long thanks to the extremely high performance of the tool. Since version 6.6 the utility supports Microsoft Exchange Server 2019 and Outlook 2019, and the successful recovery has increased to the whooping 96.78% leaving all competitors behind.

Learn more about DataNumen Exchange Recovery at: https://www.datanumen.com/exchange-recovery/

Pricing and availability

DataNumen Exchange Recovery is available for Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP, Vista/7/8/8.1/10 and Windows Server 2003/2008/2012/2016/2019, 32-bit and 64-bit. The tool supports Exchange 5.0 to 2019, Outlook 97 to 2019 as well as Outlook for Office 365. The cost of the program is free for personal use or $199.95 for business use, and there are volume discounts available.

There seems to be an unfortunate increase in the rate of divorce and marital challenges. Such issues, coupled with uncontrollable circumstances like chronic illnesses, have majorly affected women. Unfortunately, there are not too many resources to help victims get past such tribulations. This is where Towanna Hogue is looking to make a difference by giving a first-hand narration to millions of people, using herself as a case study.

"Through It All I'm Still Standing" is a story about experiencing love, trials, tribulations, abuse, loss, strength, endurance, faith, triumphs, and deliverance. Towanna aims to help readers tap into their spirituality by connecting to the Supreme Being to handle their affairs, no matter how challenging life may seem.

"I pray my book will help someone that is dealing with divorce, loss, hopelessness, depression, anxiety, PTSD, illness, and or abuse. Or has dealt with these issues and are still stuck in a bad place. I want you to know there is hope, happiness, prosperity, and a life to live after it all! I have experienced all of this and more. By the grace of God, Through It All I'm Still Standing! You will too!" said Towanna Hogue.

The book is designed to give hope from the first sight, with the use of the yellow lotus flower on the book cover symbolizing the author's growth. The yellow lotus is an analogy of how it grows in deep mud, far away from the sun, but eventually reaches the light and becomes the most beautiful flower ever.

"Through It All I'm Still Standing" will be available in eBook and print format on Amazon, Google Play, Apple Books, Barnes & Noble, and more.

Towanna Hogue is also working on a children's book called, "There's Something I Have To Tell You All... Mommy Has Cancer."

Facilities Planning Services Group Creates Re-Shoring Team Plan to Help Re-establish Manufacturing in the USA

WILMINGTON, N.C. /ScoopCloud/ -- Facilities Planning Services Group has announced the formation of the FPS Re-shoring Team. This team of specialist will help USA companies relocate their manufacturing operations back to the mainland to lessen their dependency on offshore outsourcing of critical raw materials, components, or wholesale product supply. This also applies to non-USA companies wishing to establish operations in the USA.

Established in 1972, the FPS Group has an international reputation for superior performance in facilities planning and technology implementation in the Manufacturing and Distribution sectors. The re-shoring team was created by Lin Brown, President of Facilities Planning Services to focus on supply chain issues highlighted by the pandemic.

The COVID-19 pandemic and China-USA trade war have acutely raised awareness about the vulnerability of the USA to protect its citizens during national emergencies. When a sudden spike in demand goes well beyond capacity, or a supply logistics shock, the impact can be deadly. Pandemic related shortages of medical supplies, materials and equipment clearly highlighted the nation's vulnerability. As a result of these unintended consequences, many companies, encouraged by the government, are re-thinking their offshore supply chains and operations.

FPS GROUP's re-shoring team was created specifically to help companies relocate back to the USA while maintaining critical customer service levels. FPS re-shoring services provide complete site selection, production process planning & implementation, identifying or solving labor issues, restructuring strategic supply chains, discovering comprehensive financial and tax incentives, the moving of physical assets, staff training, and making strategic destination contacts.

Members of the Re-shoring Team have had direct experience with Fortune 500 companies as well as federal and state governments and its agencies: Caterpillar, Asian-Pacific, Toyota, Smithfield, Pepsi Bottling, Carolina Turkeys, Boar's Head Provisions, and First Citizens Bank; US Dept. of Labor, N.C. Utilities Commission, and Richmond Federal Reserve are examples. The team has international contacts/references in Europe, Asia, South America, and Africa.

Brown encourages managers to use current and unfolding disruptions to assess their supply strategies and initiate actions that will improve their resilience in the future. Areas of focus include: 1) Plan to diversify sources for critical components and materials. 2) Where diversification is not possible, reconsider what levels of safety stock or strategic inventory reserves are appropriate. 3) Examine logistics bottlenecks and plan alternatives, including re-location.

In addition to Brown, the re-shoring team members are Jeff LeClair, Supply Chain Management and Logistics; Dennis Pittman, Human Resources Strategic Planning and Management; James Patterson, Strategic Communications / Media and Government Relations; Dan Quinn, Operations Management and Strategic Planning and FPS President Lin Brown, Modeling Manufacturing and Distribution Operations and Systems.

Seattle Company, Oscilla Power, Developing Breakthrough Approach to Recharging Underwater Vehicles

SEATTLE, Wash. /ScoopCloud/ -- Oscilla Power, Inc. is proud to announce the receipt of a $200k grant from the US DOE to further develop technology that enables autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) to recharge themselves using ocean waves. In this Small Business Innovation and Research (SBIR) project, Oscilla Power will collaborate with Lockheed Martin, through their Rotary and Mission Systems group, to explore how this capability can be incorporated into their AUV and UUV systems.

AUVs are now seeing significant use across a wide range of marine applications and the AUV market is projected to grow rapidly at a compound annual growth rate of 20.8% to over $1.6 Billion by 2025. However, the capability of an AUV is limited by its battery capacity. An NREL report noted that there were a number of key advantages in increasing the amount of power available, particularly the ability for longer duration missions. Oscilla's technology offers the ability for the vehicle to recharge its batteries using only the environment, potentially enabling unlimited range and duration.

According to Balky Nair, President of Oscilla Power, "The development of a capability that can be integrated into commercial AUVs to provide enough power to recharge the on-board batteries could be potentially game-changing for ocean science and military operations."

Solar panels have been used previously for AUV recharging, however, this approach suffered from very low power and constrained operations to daytime only. A significant advantage of using waves for this purpose is that ocean waves are more than 100 times more energy dense than solar, allowing for much higher power to be produced. AUV's spend the majority of their time working at depth so higher power is advantageous to minimize surfacing and recharging time.

Oscilla expect to demonstrate a fully working laboratory prototype early next year. If successful, Oscilla plans to work with Lockheed Martin to progress to a full ocean demonstration shortly afterwards, with the ultimate objective of transitioning the technology to commercial and military platforms.

About Oscilla Power, Inc.:

Oscilla Power, Inc. is focused on developing advanced technology to extract energy from ocean waves.

Shuler Research Studies COVID Public Communication Effectiveness

HOUSTON, Texas /ScoopCloud/ -- Shuler Research, a social modeling research group noted for predictions based on public risk tolerance, is studying effectiveness of COVID-19 information and how the public uses it to make strategic decisions.

An on-going survey asks "Current projections of vaccine effectiveness are 40-60%, similar to research demonstrated mask effectiveness of 50-75%, did you know this?" Respondents report 89% to 11% that they did not.

A key question is highly correlated with strategy choices: "Population (herd) immunity is all or nothing - a threshold effect?" Respondents are 60% in agreement and 40% in disagreement. This affects, for example, the public reaction to economist Joe Brusuelas' recent comment (see image).

A difficulty of epidemic or pandemic modeling is that predictions change behavior, which change predictions. Weather forecasting does not have this problem. But economic forecasting also has it.

ShulerResearch.org founder Robert Shuler, developer of an economic based crash rate theory for NASA and book author, says, "Pessimistic reinforcing forecasts between the economy and a pandemic are not just possible but likely. With more accurate understanding and messaging, people will make better decisions. Our focus is on the understanding that the decisions are based on, not what the decisions are. Reasonable people may choose different paths, and more than one path may lead to a solution, but if expectations are not met businesses crash and we lose both the economy and our health."

The survey will run through the first week of August at https://shulerresearch.org/.

It includes an animation of good/bad behavior effects on unlock (unexpected), a special graphic with unlock, seasonality and immunity showing effect on total cases, and takes only 5 minutes for participants to evaluate and give feedback. Over 48% of say they learned something from the survey. They will contribute to better COVID information and faster, more effective strategies.

ShulerResearch.org is an independent research think tank focusing on the puzzle of society, civilization, evolution and systems behavior.

YUASA Systems to Demonstrate New Endurance Test Capabilities for Flexible Displays

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Bayflex Solutions announces that YUASA Systems, the leading provider of endurance test systems for displays and flexible electronics, will demonstrate new solutions for flexible display testing at the Society for Information Display (SID) Display Week, taking place virtually August 3-7, 2020.

Building on its world-class capabilities for repeated physical motions using unique tension-free technology that enables non-destructive performance evaluations, YUASA will demonstrate three new capabilities at the Display Week Exhibitor's Forum:
* A new optical analysis system (CS-CAM) that integrates an optics package and image processing software into a standard CS clamshell-type flexing mechanism. Using a side-view mounting configuration, the CS-CAM can provide real-time edge strain analysis for early delamination detection while testing multi-layer film stacks.
* A new test cartridge (CS-TD) for both the standard and twin mechanical jigs that enables "teardrop" shape flex testing, with adjustable parameters for neck width, tear length and width to simulate different sizes and shapes of hinges on display devices. Alternatively, this cartridge can adjust the neutral plane for multi-layer flexing.
* A new medium size flexing jig (CS-M) suitable for testing tablet and laptop displays. As with all CS jigs, the CS-M provides clamshell type flexing of linear or planar objects to 0.5 mm radius, and works with the ECP system control and data capture package.

In addition to these new products, YUASA Systems, working with its U.S. partner Bayflex Solutions, is developing new capabilities in multi-environment chambers (PICO) that provide desktop endurance testing in multiple hostile conditions such as humidity, temperature, as well as data analysis capabilities that can provide real-time assessment and predictive analytics based on test data.

Finally, in order to adapt the "new normal" of work from home, YUASA Systems and Bayflex Solutions now offer equipment on a subscription basis in addition to purchase, and have opened test centers in Japan and the U.S. so that clients can ship samples for testing.

"YUASA Systems is pleased to continue to offer advanced testing capability to the display industry, for flexible displays, touch screens, and other flexible components. The development of the CS-CAM, CS-TD cartridge and CS-M products were in response to the requirements of display and touch screen materials suppliers, panel makers, and system integrators, all of whom need to have repeatable, controlled endurance testing simulating real-world physical conditions," said Eisuke Tsuyuzaki, Principal, Bayflex Solutions. "This year's solutions are significant as we are eager to introduce a completely new series of optical imaging and enhanced data analysis capabilities."

RPP Products Selects Sagon-Phior and SDDPR as Branding and PR Agencies of Record for Its New ‘Premier Pure’ Hand Sanitizer Product Line

BLOOMINGTON, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- RPP Products today announced that it has selected Sagon-Phior and SDDPR as its branding and PR team for the company's new Premier Pure hand sanitizer product line. In March 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, RPP Products pivoted from motor oil production to hand sanitizer production in just seven days. Sagon-Phior and SDDPR were hired in April 2020 to introduce the new product line to consumers, businesses and non-profit organizations in need of FDA-approved hand sanitizer in large quantities.

"When we realized we could help fight the COVID-19 crisis by shifting our raw materials to hand sanitizer production, we knew we needed to move quickly and hire a professional branding and PR partner to help us establish ourselves in this new market," said Eric Zwigart, CEO of RPP Products. "Together with Sagon-Phior and SDDPR, we have created an essential brand during a very challenging time in our country's history."

"As experts in Emotional Marketing, this product launch was an ideal fit for our firm," said Glenn Sagon, CEO of Sagon-Phior. "In this crisis, we understand the importance of identifying how consumers are going to emotionally connect to a brand. In an environment of great uncertainty, Premier Pure stands for safety and confidence, and the opportunity to provide organizations, consumers and those in need with hand sanitizer. RPP's philanthropic efforts to help homeless shelters, military vets and families have been a true inspiration for everyone."

Sagon-Phior is completing the new Premier Pure website and marketing program slated to launch in two weeks.

"Eric and his team have a great story to tell," said Stacey Doss, president of SDDPR. "Entrepreneurial ingenuity rises up to meet a national challenge, the result of which is assisting others in a time of crisis, and giving back to those who need the help the most. We are proud to be involved in such a worthwhile effort."

Southern California-based RPP Products is a national, privately held $150 million manufacturer and distributor of automotive oil and additives to the convenience and grocery channels. In just seven days in mid-March, RPP Products CEO Eric Zwigart pivoted the company to begin producing in excess of 30,000 gallons of FDA-approved hand sanitizer daily, for as long as it's needed. Zwigart felt that the homeless and food- insecure would likely not get the supplies they needed during the crisis, and decided to focus his company's donation efforts there.

In just three months, RPP Products has donated over 1,000 gallons of hand sanitizer to hundreds of non-profit organizations including:
* 800+ homeless in temporary housing at the San Diego Convention Center in San Diego, California
* Los Angeles motels run by HOPICS and part of California Governor Gavin Newsom's "Project Roomkey" of 3,000 hotel and motel rooms statewide for the homeless
* Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank in Pittsburgh, PA, which last year delivered 35.5 million meals in its 11-county service area
* Denver Rescue Mission, temporary housing for 700+ homeless men at Denver's Western National Complex
* The Doe Fund for use at The Bentley Hotel in New York City where the organization is temporarily housing 300+ formerly homeless men, with the remainder going to The Doe Fund's three shelters in New York City and Harlem
* Eight United Way regions (New York City; Sacramento and Orange County, Calif.; Washington D.C./Alexandria, Va.; Denver; Seattle; Atlanta; Detroit), paving the way for a national, strategic partnership

About RPP Products

RPP Products is a national privately held manufacturer and distributor of automotive chemicals and lubricants to the convenience and grocery distribution channels. RPP Products CEO Eric Zwigart has vowed to use the 40,000 gallons per day of ethanol alcohol that RPP Products has access to for the purposes of answering the hand sanitizer shortage, for as long as it's needed. RPP is currently producing in excess of 30,000 gallons daily, and continues to ramp up its production capacity by tens of thousands of gallons per day.

RPP Products is selling hand sanitizer to essential workers on the front lines of the COVID-19 crisis (hospital staff, first responders, veteran's organizations, postal carriers, etc.) and to the public through its convenience and grocery distribution channels.

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- OpenClose®, the industry-leading mortgage fintech provider and omni-channel loan origination system (LOS), announced that it integrated with Access Business Technologies' (ABT) MortgageExchange interface solution, a secure cloud-based environment that enables multiple platforms and applications to share data between disparate systems. Now, OpenClose and ABT are able to conduct business with more lending entities.

ABT's MortgageExchange extracts mortgage loan data fields and properly places all information into the connecting fields within other applications (using respective APIs when available). Each integration is customized between OpenClose and ABT to model the customer's business workflow, which eliminates data input redundancy, prevents errors, and saves time.

"ABT's MortgageExchange enables two-way data flow where relevant information is passed from our LenderAssist LOS to the target platform and from the target platform back to the LOS. This ability provides time savings and increased accuracy by populating client information directly from a system of record. This new integration further supports the fact that OpenClose is the best way to lend from open to close."

ABT builds fully functional interfaces using custom-configurations that follow the clients' business processes. Engagements for MortgageExchange are completed, tested, and in production within 90 days. OpenClose's RESTful API Suite enabled ABT to efficiently connect to its LenderAssist™ LOS and facilitate the secure transfer of data between advanced workflows that lenders leverage daily. As a result, it is simple for customers using ABT's MortgageExchange to connect to the OpenClose LOS and virtually any other software platform using contemporary APIs.

"Partnering with OpenClose unlocks a lot of doors for lending entities that use the MortgageExchange interface," said Justin Kirsch CEO. "At ABT, everything we design and build lives in the cloud and our teams manage all maintenance and upkeep, freeing lenders from concern or worry about any added cost and time required to maintain applications and the connecting interfaces. We firmly believe that time is money, and our clients invest the time saved building a more profitable operation."

Lenders using the OpenClose and ABT integration receive a report from MortgageExchange that provides full transparency showing what transpired with the data, identifying any issues with the loan data before it is sent to the target software platform, ensuring data accuracy.

When the Pandemic Stopped TV Production in NYC, a Camera-crane Company Started Shooting Iconic Classic Cars for Free

HUNTINGTON, N.Y. /ScoopCloud/ -- The alluring beauty of classic automobiles is the subject of short videos by television camera-crane specialist Howard Heitner, launching as Classic Car Video.

They're seen on his new YouTube channel and website: https://www.classiccarvideo.com/.

The series starts with heavyweights of classic car subculture: A rare '69 Corvette; and the celebrated '64.5 Original Mustang. The videos intercut floating visual perspectives with fluid imagery of design details and notable features. It's woven in a stylistic edit and soundtrack that imparts a 'music video' feel; the rock-star being a mechanical masterpiece of yesteryear.

"Precise camera movement is the only way to depict the lines, shapes and textures of these exquisite automotive sculptures," said Howard Heitner, creator of the videos, and owner of New York Jib(R), a camera-crane company. His 20 plus year career operating cranes on commercials, tv shows, sports and live entertainment makes him an industry go-to guy for dynamic camera moves and the sophisticated shots demanded today. But that was prior to Covid-19.

"The shutdown let me switch gears and have fun with the cars I remember and love so much, and people seem to be enjoying it."

The content is provided free with no cost to the car owners and Mr. Heitner urges owners of special vehicles in extraordinary condition to contact him via the website to potentially set up a shoot, which usually takes about 2 hours. "It's a win-win: The car owner gets a cool custom video for free; and I get to do what I love, share it with the world, and leave a video legacy that future enthusiasts may really enjoy looking back at."

All the videos are posted on: https://www.classiccarvideo.com/

New Book Explores Unique World of Intrapreneurs and Their Role in Business Growth

BOSTON, Mass. /ScoopCloud/ -- Author and intrapreneurship expert Susan Foley, Managing Partner of Corporate Entrepreneurs LLC, is excited to announce the release of the paperback version of her latest book, "Intrapreneurs: Who, What, How and Why" (ISBN: 978-1734956900).

The new book explores the role of an intrapreneur within businesses, from how they drive innovation and serve as a catalyst for positive change, to how their unique mindset and competencies distinguish them as unconventional assets capable of propelling exceptional business growth.

"Intrapreneurs: Who, What, How and Why" offers perspective on what an intrapreneur is, the significant impact they have on an organization and how they are serving as agents of change by rewriting the rules of business. Throughout 241 pages, Foley defines intrapreneurship and chronicles the journeys of intrapreneurs across the globe, helping readers understand their individual paths to success and lessons learned along the way.

"This book examines the incredible value of having an intrapreneur on the leadership team of any business, and the extraordinary combination of qualities they possess that distinguish them from their peers," said Foley. "Intrapreneurs are leading their organizations into the future with their incredible foresight, critical thinking skills and propensity to take action versus waiting for change to happen."

As Foley explains in her book with research and real examples, intrapreneurs are quickly becoming the new face of leadership in the changing world of business. As an integral member of the internal team, they create new processes that build value through new business ventures, new product launches, new services and more. They thrive on problem solving, consistently leverage technology and address business challenges head-on - seeing every situation as an opportunity to learn and prosper.

Their self-awareness, resiliency and high level of productivity help them see business functions through a different lens, resulting in action and measurable results.

"These individuals are the hidden talent in most organizations, building and refining their skillset over time through experience," Foley said. "This person must be discovered, their talents cultivated, and their skills applied across all business functions. They can - quite literally - turn the impossible into the possible because they're not afraid to try anything. They're more afraid to not try."

"Intrapreneurs: Who, What, How and Why" takes a candid, real world look at intrapreneurship, including the force behind it, nuances, profiles, success factors, aspirations, challenges, value, leadership and the future of the role in business. It's a must-read roadmap for every business leader, helping them understand why this role is important and how to identify their own intrapreneurs for the sake of successfully driving innovation and growth.

"Intrapreneurs: Who, What, How and Why" is the third book by Foley, who has also authored "Acceleration: Changing the Speed of Growth" and "Entrepreneurs Inside."

She is Managing Partner of Corporate Entrepreneurs LLC, a professional services firm that assists businesses with building intrapreneurship as a strategy for new business growth. She is a champion for research on intrapreneurs, helping countless organizations identify their internal intrapreneurs and understand how they are distinguishable from other employees. Her breakthrough research - based largely on direct observation of intrapreneurs around the world - has helped business leaders globally understand the critical need for this role and experience their remarkable contributions.

In addition to being an expert in the field, Foley is an international speaker and taught Corporate Entrepreneurship at Babson College, Executive Education and Social Change at Suffolk University.

The e-book version of "Intrapreneurs: Who, What, How and Why" was released on June 21, 2020, and the new paperback version is now available on Amazon for $19.99.

A comprehensive summary of the book is available online at https://corporate-entrepreneurs.com/book/intrapreneurs-who-what-how-and-why - where visitors will also find additional resources focused on business growth and success.

Elite Miss Pennsylvania Partners with 20+ East Coast Hotels – Projected to Prevent More Than 1 Ton of Plastic Waste from Landfills

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. /ScoopCloud/ -- Danielle Alura, Elite Miss Pennsylvania, received the 2020 Olive Branch Certificate of Recognition from the Coalition for Peace Action for her efforts against climate change, to build a green economy. One of the achievements this year was Danielle held a socially distanced green talk outside Philly for hotel owners.

The hotel association she met with as her first step of influence was AAHOA, the Asian American Hotel Owners Association, the majority being immigrant owned. The attendees interested in her green program represented more than 140+ east coast hotels. She has already been able to convince more than 20 hotels so far to pledge against their plastic waste!

By choosing to adopt at least one of her suggested plastic prevention initiatives into their business operations, this will successfully prevent over 1 ton of waste from our communities' landfills by 2021. She is still meeting with more hotels and franchises as they voice interest in her free green program to reduce plastic waste and save money while going green. A new hotel franchise with more than 100 hotels is on board to implement her "No Excuse for Single Use" Program across their whole franchise.

Danielle is the current Elite Miss Pennsylvania, a member of the United Nations of Greater Philadelphia, a member of their event committee, a member of the Coalition for Peace Action and a supporter of Family Promise, a non-profit helping the homeless. She has sat on their Executive Board as the Secretary, Chair of the event committee and Vice President of Family Promise of Orange County (FPOC). Danielle has helped raise more than $400,000 for charity in the past few years, of which $82,000 was raised virtually over the course of 24hrs for FPOC in the middle of this pandemic for the families.

Danielle admired how green conscious her mother was when growing up. Being the oldest of 4 adopted kids, she remembers, wearing hand-me-downs, recycling and repurposing things they simply couldn't throw away.

"I still remember leaving swim team practice and dropping the empty glass bottles into the recycling bins and hearing them break, or pulling over and watering neighbor's thirsty plants on their porch with our water bottles as we drove by."

After traveling to 9 countries last summer, from the Galapagos Islands, to China - she came across trash everywhere. Upon returning to the states, she searched for ways to create awareness and discovered there was a pageant system designed for such green leaders. Her platform: No Excuse for Single Use (NEFSU).

"First, I encouraged people to begin a zero waste home during the pandemic by taking simple green steps. I post a new sustainable video tip weekly to help you add new green habits to your lifestyle. However, going 'green' to impact climate change does not strictly rely on us as individuals. We need corporations to contribute their efforts for climate change. Otherwise - as individuals alone - we won't even make a dent in pollution. Therefore, the other side of my platform focuses on business. I have partnered with hotels as well to pledge against plastic waste."

Danielle has also lobbied alongside PennEnvironment, United Nations Greater Philadelphia and the CFPA against single use plastics in front of many elected officials. They also talked about the horrors of landfill pollutants into our water, air and food and the importance of increasing Electric Vehicle infrastructure. Danielle's platform "No Excuse for Single Use" will now be utilized by Rep. Ronni Green as a Zero Waste Home resource for the community.

Danielle Alura has recently written a number of original songs - all to the tune of climate change. Her whole life she has written original music but kept it only for her family to enjoy. Now, she will be releasing the first song ever entitled "Can You Hear Me." The original work also features a number of familiar celebrity faces endorsing her efforts for plastic reduction.

Write your elected officials, write your favorite brands on how it's important to go green and remember - there's "no excuse for single use." Danielle is competing for Elite Miss Earth USA in January.

"This acquisition will position IntelliMedia Networks to offer technology solutions under the ASCT Systems brand by extending our industry-leading cloud-based training platform - Apollo and GlobalMLX's unique CTPAT training content enabling us to simplify and expand the certification process for the CTPAT program," said Darshan Sedani, president and co-founder of IntelliMedia Networks. Mr. Sedani added, "Our highly advanced training platform enables clients to learn at their own pace and prepares them for the knowledge required to be certified."

The CTPAT program was launched by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security in 2001 to train and verify participating companies in maintaining a high level of cargo security in conformance to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection's standard for continued ease of access to the U.S. market.

"We are excited to offer this new approach to CTPAT training by combining our content and expertise with the global reach, ease of use, and AI-based intelligence of IntelliMedia's Apollo LTMS platform. We will be able to scale and revolutionize the way C - TPAT training and certification are provided to our clients," said Mandy Lynn Aitken CEO of GlobalMLX.

"Supply chain security threats manifest themselves in an ever-changing global theater including danger to the goods and products consumed in the U.S. Companies with the intention of maintaining access to the large U.S. market have to be vigilant to protect their end-consumers for continued access to the U.S. market," said Teodros Gessesse, CEO and co-founder of IntelliMedia Networks.

"Our clients are excited with their new capability to have on-demand training ready at their fingertips 24/7," said Mr. Stratos Tsantopoulos COO of ASCT Systems. "This is our dream come true as it provides our clients the capability to rapidly scale their security awareness and sail through CTPAT certification - every time."

The CTPAT training solution offered under ASCT Systems combines both the Apollo learning and training management system (LTMS) and GlobalMLX's proprietary training content creating a highly intuitive and always-available cloud training platform with global reach. The platform will provide a company-wide or department level licensing that both educates, tests, and verifies compliance of CTPAT regulations supporting certification. The company will still be managed by Ms. Mandy-Lynn Aitken as its CEO and Mr. Stratos Tsantopoulos as the COO maintaining the depth of CTPAT experience both executives have acquired over the years.
