Travel Insurance Advisory for 2023 Hurricane Season

NEW YORK, N.Y. /ScoopCloud/ -- Hurricane season is underway and just off the Gulf of Mexico, Tropical Storm Arlene has become the first named storm of the season. With the summer travel season picking up across the country, TravelInsurance.com is taking the time to remind travelers the importance of protecting their trip costs.

The hurricane season lasts from June 1 to November 30, and while the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) forecasters are predicting a "near-normal" hurricane season in the Atlantic, they still estimate 12 to 17 total named storms with winds of 39 mph or higher, including 1 to 4 major hurricanes with winds of 111 mph or higher.

While there is no doubt the possibility of hurricanes are disconcerting, it is hard to predict when and where they will hit, leaving travelers to weigh the risks with the rewards of traveling to their desired destination.

With the right protection, however, travelers don't have to limit their destination choices. By purchasing travel insurance, travelers can protect their money invested in a trip in the event a hurricane disrupts their travel plans. Most trip cancellation plans can be purchased for as little as four percent of the entire cost of the trip. TravelInsurance.com makes finding the right insurance easy, by letting users compare and buy travel insurance online from top-rated providers, at the guaranteed lowest price, tailored specifically for their needs.

"Traveling during the hurricane season adds an element of risk to one's trip. Travel insurance can eliminate the worry of an unforeseen event causing you to lose your hard-earned money," said Stan Sandberg, co-founder of TravelInsurance.com. "And travelers should not wait to buy a policy, because once a storm is named, it's too late to purchase travel insurance to protect against the named storm."

Here are some tips to keep in mind when booking this hurricane season:

* Consider when, and where you are traveling. Hurricane season is long and there will be many storms. The areas most affected are along the U.S. East Coast and Atlantic region. Travelers flying into or out of these regions should consider purchasing travel insurance in case their flights get grounded and they can't make it to their destination.

* Flexibility. With inflation causing rising prices in the travel industry, travelers need to have the option to change their mind about their plans. For the most flexibility, a Cancel for Any Reason (CFAR) optional upgrade will give you the ability to cancel for any reason whatsoever.

* The location of where you are staying. It's important to consider the location of your destination and if your resort, hotel or rental could be in the path of a hurricane. Some travel insurance policies will provide trip cancellation and trip interruption protection in the event of a NOAA-issued hurricane warning at your destination.

Vacationers who invest in travel insurance can potentially save thousands of dollars in the event of a hurricane.

"The path to Intelligently Visualizing The Built World requires developments in technology," Schaff said.

Q4 2022 ACES Mortgage QC Industry Trends Report Shows Decline in Critical Defect Rate to 1.84%

The quarterly defect rate declined 25.5% over Q3, though the annual defect rate remained above 2% for 2022 /ScoopCloud/ -- ACES Quality Management® (ACES), the leading provider of enterprise quality management and control software for the financial services industry, announced the release of its quarterly ACES Mortgage QC Industry Trends Report covering the fourth quarter (Q4) of 2022, as well as the full calendar year (CY). The latest report analyzes post-closing quality control data derived from ACES Quality Management & Control® software.

Notable findings from the Q4/CY 2022 report include the following:

* The overall critical defect rate declined 25.5% over Q3 2022, ending the quarter at 1.84%.

* Due to two consecutive quarters of +2% defect rates, the overall rate for CY 2022 was 2.07%.

* Of the four major underwriting categories, Credit improved considerably over Q3, while Liabilities achieved a more modest improvement. Both Assets and Income/Employment increased significantly, ending Income/Employment's multi-quarter trend of decline.

* Income/Employment remained the leading category of defects reported, with Assets and Borrower and Mortgage Eligibility completing the top three categories of defects cited.

* A sub-category analysis of the Assets and Income/Employment categories found documentation to be the leading driver of defects within these two categories.

* Appraisal defects also increased in Q4, ending another multi-quarter trend of decline.

* Purchase share remained high in Q4, with the industry achieving defect parity for the quarter.

* Despite declining in terms of review share, FHA defects increased for the second consecutive quarter, as did conventional loans. USDA and VA loan defects continued to improve.

"After last quarter's historic high of 2.47%, the reduction in Q4's critical defect rate to a sub-2% level is encouraging and illustrates just how much the precipitous drop in origination volumes impacted lending operations," said ACES Executive Vice President Nick Volpe. "However, lenders are starting to see the GSEs take an aggressive stance on repurchase requests for loans with curable defects. In addition, HUD has yet to complete its reviews of some vintage FHA loan production, an area notorious for defects. All of this may spell trouble for lenders that are already financially strapped due to declining volumes."

Findings for the Q4 2022 ACES Mortgage QC Industry Trends Report are based on post-closing quality control data derived from the ACES Quality Management and Control® benchmarking system and incorporate data from prior quarters and/or calendar years, where applicable. All reviews and defect data evaluated for the report were based on loan audits selected by lenders for full file reviews.

"Loan defects are one of the greatest sources of financial risk to lenders in today's tight origination market," said ACES CEO Trevor Gauthier. "The best defense against this kind of threat is a robust QC auditing platform like ACES, which helps lenders retain the value of their loan production by identifying the point of origin for loan defects within the manufacturing process and uncovering defect trends to help resolve these issues before they become the impetus for a repurchase request or sale on the scratch-and-dent market."

The Mortgage QC Industry Trends Reports are available for download, free of charge, at https://www.acesquality.com/resources/reports.

ACES executives will analyze the Q4 2022 ACES Mortgage QC Industry Trends Report findings and offer insights into what lenders can expect in future quarters during a webinar titled, "QC Trends and Industry Insights" as part of its ongoing QC NOW Web Series.

Comedians with Disabilities Act Change Attitudes Through Laughter

OAKLAND, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- The founders and contributors of the Comedians with Disabilities Act (CWDA) are about to hit the road for its wildly popular show to span three states: Montana, Oregon and California. They're celebrating Disability Pride month in July, which also happens to coincide with the anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

The various venues that will host the comedy troupe are thrilled to have them on the stage. One Montana venue in Butte even did a little renovation to accommodate the act by modifying its restroom to ensure accessibility - and laughter - for all.

"Thanks to the Elk Lodge for pulling through," Nina G,' says. "They saw the need to make this event and others they will have inclusive to everyone. CWDA is proud to be part of this change!"

The Comedians with Disabilities Act (CWDA) is a fabulous collection of comedians with disabilities, both seen and unseen, who share their humor and personal experiences. Overall, the tour is designed to bring authentic and traditionally unheard voices to the forefront.

It's the brainchild of comedian, Michael O'Connell, who started the group in 2010, and was later joined by Steve Danner and Nina G. In 2016, O'Connell passed away - but the show lives on and spotlights a variety of disabled and outrageously funny comedians. The upcoming lineup of shows includes disability representation from diverse perspectives and intersections. Every show will feature a different line up.

And, it's not the first time this group has taken the show on the road. In October 2022, for Disability Awareness month, 17 comedians performed four shows for hundreds of people throughout Northern California. Material covered everything from stuttering and dyslexia to dwarfism, addiction recovery, anxiety, blindness and more.

Michael Beers, who will headline the California and Montana shows, was born and raised in Montana and is a comedy veteran of 23 years. He's been a disability advocate for nearly 20 years and says that comedy is an important vehicle to changing attitudes about disability.

"Laughter is the shortest distance between two people," he says. "And, comedy is a beautiful way to educate people without disabilities. When we laugh together we can find our commonalities."

Beers won the Norman G. Brooks Comedy Competition at the Hollywood Improv in 2005. He was also the previous winner of Funny Fest (Calgary Comedy Festival) and has opened for comedians like Gilbert Gottfried. He is a sought-after keynote speaker on topics like humor, disability advocacy, education and community building.

Author and disability advocate Nina G, will headline the Portland, OR show. She's the author of multiple books and most recently had her first solo comedy album debut at number one on the iTunes and Amazon comedy charts. Her special will be out later this year.

"There's a lot of talk about representation for disabled actors, writers and artists, yet the images we see on TV and film are sparse. It's important that comedy producers spotlight disabled comedians," she says. "I hope they'll see that we're not only hilarious, but can sell out a show too."

Her memoir, "Stutterer Interrupted: The Comedian Who Almost Didn't Happen," was released to critical acclaim in 2019 and in February 2022, she launched and another book, co-authored by OJ Patterson, "Bay Area Stand-Up Comedy: A Humorous History." She's performed all over the U.S. and appeared on many daytime TV talk shows, NPR broadcasts and podcasts.

Mean Dave, a favorite in the San Francisco Bay Area, will host several shows. Dave is in his eighth year of addiction recovery, which he ingeniously weaves into his humor. He's opened for many notable comedians like Josh Blue, Big Jay Oakerson, and Jay Mohr, and has performed at colleges across the U.S.

"Not a lot of people know that being a recovering addict is covered under the Americans with Disabilities Act," he says.

Danner, who is a little person, says, "We're all comedians first. But, we also want to send a strong message that, even with a disability, we can reach our goals."

His comedy career began as an audience member at a comedy club. The comedian on stage started riffing with him. After Danner showcased his own riffing skills, the comic approached Danner after the show and suggested he give comedy a try. That soon launched a career as a comedian and producer. He's opened for many headliners such as "Last Comic Standing" winner, Felipe Esparza.

These four comedians will be joined by Jade Theriault, Dan Smith, Adam Keys, Willie Travis, Milt Abel, Loren Kraut and others. Each comedian shares their personal disability experiences and brand of humor to make audiences laugh in each of these three states.

The tour schedule is:

* Thursday, July 6: Murphy's Law Irish Pub, Sunnyvale, CA

* Saturday, July 8: Manny's, San Francisco, CA (noon)

* Saturday, July 8: EJ Phair, Pittsburg, CA

* Sunday, July 9: Fox Tale Fermentation Project, San Jose, CA

* Thursday, July 13 Barrel Proof Comedy, Santa Rosa, CA

* Wednesday, July 19: Curious Comedy Theater in Portland, OR

* Thursday, July 27: Elks Lodge in Butte, MT

* Friday, July 28: Last Best Comedy Club in Bozeman, MT (two shows)

* Saturday, July 29: Zootown Arts Community Center in Missoula, MT

You may have no clue about how to remove activation lock without previous owner. Don't freak out since there's a perfect Activation Lock Removal solution from Tenorshare to remove activation lock without previous owner's login credentials.

What an Activation Lock Is and Why It's Important?

"An iCloud activation lock is a built-in security feature in iOS devices activated after users turn on the Find My Device feature. While activation lock prevents unauthorized access, protects the owner's data, and requires an Apple ID and password to reset the device, some users claim it for iPhone locked to precious owner," says a Tenorshare Spokesman. "Luckily, with Tenorshare 4MeKey, you can remove iPhone locked to previous owner and bypass activation lock".

How to Remove Activation Lock Without Previous Owner on iPhone/iPad via iCloud Activation Unlocker?

If you've purchased a used iPhone, a common way to bypass activation lock for free is by contacting its previous owner. Here's what you can do:

* Contact the previous owner.

* Request to remove the device from their iCloud account.

While this method sounds simple, it has its limitations. Firstly, you may not have the previous owner's contact info if you've bought the iPhone from a third-party seller, or the owner might be unresponsive. Thankfully, Tenorshare iCloud Activation Unlocker is a safe and efficient tool to unlock your iPhone without the previous owner's help.

It covers a variety of scenarios, such as:

* Remove the activation lock without iCloud login credentials.

* Remove the iCloud account on your iPhone if you forgot the password or bought a locked device.

* Allows you to sign in with a new Apple ID and password after bypassing the activation lock.

* Disable the Find My iOS device feature without a password.

To bypass activation lock with 4MeKey, just connect your iOS device to your computer, and select "Start Jailbreak." Finally, your iCloud activation lock will be removed successfully.

How to Avoid Stuck on the Activation Lock Screen?

When buying a used iOS device, you can avoid the "not knowing the previous owner's iCloud login info" scenario by:

* Verifying the device is not locked to a previous owner's iCloud account.

* Researching the seller and requesting proof of ownership.

Free Tickets Announced for Concert Promoting Juneteenth, Pride Month – Can Music Heal Our Nation?

WASHINGTON, D.C. /ScoopCloud/ -- The nonprofit "Faith In Peace" Concert Saturday, June 17, 2023 7:30-10pm will be held in the Sixth & I Synagogue in Washington, DC by the Concert for the Human Family (CFHF), with recently announced free ticket offers, says Light4America. The concert benefits multiple nonprofits including Rotary District 7620 (Washington, DC and parts of Maryland). The concert will have a strong emphasis on promoting shared values like the Rotary "Four Way Test," Juneteenth and Pride Month.

An unlikely friendship of two secular artists drives this musical outreach program of the US Episcopal Church. Kory Caudill is a self-described "Appalachian hillbilly" raised in Kentucky who plays blindingly fast and beautiful piano.

Anthony "Wordsmith" Parker is a Baltimore Hip-Hop artist, State Department cultural Ambassador, and nonprofit leader. Years ago their musical careers combined when they decided to team up to lead the eclectic mix of music that is the CFHF. This non-religious concert series features hip-hop, pop, rock, piano and country with a greater mission - to unite people of all faiths, races and political beliefs.

"This is music to heal the divisions of America," says Kory Caudill.

Rotary was a natural partner for the CFHF. Rotary International has long made promoting peace one of its core focus areas and increasingly has helped Americans promote peace at home, not just abroad. The concert will help tell the story of partner nonprofits like Citizen Connect of the Bridge Alliance and Rotary clubs. Country First, a pro-Democracy and pro-civility movement founded by former U.S. Representative Adam Kinzinger, will help boost the live stream performance.

The concert will celebrate Rotary District 7620's first openly gay outgoing District Governor and welcome the district's first female African American District Governor. The concert will share the story of Black Georgetown Foundation Inc, the DC nonprofit that supports the Mt. Zion and Female Union Band Cemetery, an African American cemetery saved from condo construction oblivion.

"This truly is a concert series I've been working towards since I was four years old," says Kory Caudill. "I used to watch Yanni - Live at the Acropolis every day and hope that I'd be able to create music like that someday. And now it's a reality. But on an even deeper level, I hope that this concert series allows me to build a platform to make the world my kids live in a better place. And I believe the message and the music these concerts deliver can do just that."

ABILENE, Texas /ScoopCloud/ -- According to AGTC Supply Water Co., the water at Blue Jug Abilene West goes through a detailed cleaning process that starts from taking tap water at our location and first running it through a carbon filtration. Next, the water goes through a 5 micron filter which continues to filter the water and prepares it for the Reverse Osmosis unit. The Reverse Osmosis stage is the final stage of filtration.

The water then moves to a cartridge containing ceramic beads infused with calcium sulfite, quartz, tourmaline, zircon, calcite, zeolite and other minerals to reinfuse the water with electrolytes for a better taste. From there it goes to a storage tank, which then takes the water through the final steps of an additional carbon filtration and a UV treatment before it comes out of our fill station inside or at the self-service station located outside the store.

To ensure water quality as well as educate those interested in learning more about water quality, we have tested the water in store and sent our samples to an out-of-state, third-party water professional to ensure integrity of our process. We will be testing regularly for Hardness, Calcium, PH, Alkalinity, Iron, Nitrates, Chlorine, TDS (Totally Dissolved Solids), Manganese and Copper. Our Opening day water results are posted on a wall inside the store.

Blue Jug Abilene West owner, Waylan Jackson, shares, "We believe in a transparency to share the quality of the water we provide with the process, proof and testing to back it up."

Blue Jug Abilene West sells alkaline water along with a variety of BPA free water jugs and bottles in various sizes as well as an array of water handling products. Beyond the water, the products, the testing and the vetting, Blue Jug Abilene West is a water store with a goal to educate, empower and provide water for those that expect more from what they drink.

Blue Jug Abilene West, 4613 South 14th St., Abilene, Texas 79605-4734.

Blue Jug Abilene West will be open six days a week, Monday to Friday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and on Saturdays 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Trends in Drug Benefit Design Report Released by Pharmaceutical Strategies Group (PSG)

DALLAS, Texas /ScoopCloud/ -- Pharmaceutical Strategies Group (PSG), an EPIC company, is pleased to announce the launch of its Trends in Drug Benefit Design Report. The report delivers innovative research on the latest trends in the traditional (non-specialty) drug benefit. Sponsored by Rx Savings Solutions, it outlines the complexities of designing and managing the drug benefit and the cost challenges faced by consumers and plan sponsors alike.

KEY HIGHLIGHTS OF THE FINDINGS INCLUDE:

* Plan sponsors are grappling with the potential cost of weight loss drugs.

With respondents divided on weight loss as a lifestyle or chronic condition, 43% cover FDA-approved weight loss medications, and 28% may do so in the next 1-2 years.

"Employers are concerned about affordability, as well as the long-term side effects resulting from chronic use," commented Michael Medel, PharmD, Senior Vice President and Practice Lead Plan Sponsors. "While there is recognition of the positive health benefits of weight loss, the data is lacking today to support any significant cost-offset of those benefits."

* Most plans use more than one type of trend and utilization management program, such as prior authorization and refill too soon limits, but these programs can present challenges.

Growing percentages of respondents cited cost and cumbersomeness as barriers to utilization management programs. Two-thirds of respondents wanted more transparency and accountability in these programs, and over half expressed interest in new offerings for tracking and controlling utilization.

* Major advancements have been made in gene and cell therapies over the past 5 years, and as the pace of change increases, interest in financial protection products is growing.

Nearly all (91%) respondents have heard of gene therapy financial protection products. While just 7% currently use these products, nearly half are considering it.

"With a robust cell and gene therapy pipeline, plan sponsors are seeking ways to mitigate the financial risk these expensive therapies present while also ensuring access for their members. Although few are currently using cell and gene therapy financial protection products, many are considering it. This will be an interesting trend to watch in the coming years," noted Morgan Lee, PhD, MPH, CPH, Senior Director, Research & Strategy, PSG.

* Plan sponsors recognize the need to reduce wasteful drug spend.

A little over half of plans (53%) take steps to identify and reduce wasteful spend in the formulary; that percent rising to 75% when isolating the data to health plans. Blocks, exclusions, and use of programs and reporting from their PBM are among the most common steps they take to address this problem.

* The monetary impact of cost-sharing strategies on consumers has spurred a focus on transparency.

The promotion of cost-sharing transparency tools to help members manage expenses continues to rise, from 28% in 2018 to 63% in 2023.

"We are honored to once again sponsor this insightful report, which highlights the importance for plan sponsors to evolve the pharmacy benefit," said Michael Rea, PharmD, Founder and CEO of Rx Savings Solutions (RxSS). "This year, there is a noticeable undercurrent of change in the market. Consumers and patients whose share of prescription drug costs continue to grow are searching for relief and turning to sources both within and outside of the traditional drug benefit. It's a goal all of us in the pharmacy benefit ecosystem to help advance the benefit in ways that produce greater access and affordability, all while controlling spend."

Since the inception of this report, the drug benefit has become more intricate to design and manage. With many new drugs coming to market, decisions around program structure, formulary design, cost sharing, and trend management become increasingly challenging and important. This report helps benefit leaders identify trends and future possibilities so they can adjust as appropriate around these factors and more.

Voices for Humanity Restores Taiwan’s Cultural Values to its Youth with Miao-Hsiang Lin

CHIAYI, Taiwan /ScoopCloud/ -- VOICES FOR HUMANITY - the weekly series presenting heroic change makers from a variety of faiths, cultures and nations, working to uplift their communities - announces a new episode featuring educator and community activist Miao-Hsiang Lin, premiering June 14, 2023.

Taiwan is experiencing a dramatic decline in moral values and a concurrent rise in juvenile delinquency, drug use and criminal activity. For many, this is a clear sign that the country has lost touch with its rich cultural and traditional Chinese heritage. University teacher and Way to Happiness Ambassador Miao-Hsiang Lin is the driving force behind a nationwide movement to restore moral values and create a safe and peaceful Taiwan.

ABOUT MIAO-HSIANG LIN

Miao-Hsiang Lin is a native of Chiayi, a small city in Taiwan. As a child, she grew up around her parents' traditional Chinese medicine shop, where they instilled upon her the tradition of helping others. After graduating from university, she became a primary school teacher and was immediately alarmed at the number of parents and students seeking her advice on dealing with emotional distress and physical abuse. She then discovered The Way to Happiness and found the book's 21 precepts aligned perfectly with traditional Chinese values. She began addressing Taiwan's social ills by educating Taiwan's youth on moral values. To date, Miao-Hsiang has distributed over 52,000 The Way to Happiness booklets in schools and cultural organizations and reached millions more through Taiwanese media.

Miao-Hsiang Lin is the Way to Happiness Ambassador for Taiwan.

Tax Help MD Provides Five Steps to Help Small Corporations Calculate QBI

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- Tax Help MD helps self-employed individuals and small businesses to resolve tax issues. From basic tax filings to more complex situations, Tax Help MD wants its clients to come out on top. That's why it empowers them with information, so they can get the best tax benefits available.

"For example, many businesses are not aware that the qualified business income deduction (QBI) is a tax deduction that allows eligible, self-employed and small-business owners to deduct up to 20 percent of their qualified business income on their taxes," Ekaterina Drouin, president, Tax Help MD says.

Here, Tax Help MD lists the five steps small corporations need to follow to accurately calculate QBI:

1 - Identify eligible business activities: Determine which activities conducted by the small corporation qualify for the QBI deduction. Generally, most trades or businesses other than specified service trades or businesses (SSTBs) are eligible. SSTBs include professions such as law, accounting, healthcare, consulting, financial services and others.

2 - Calculate the QBI for each eligible business activity: For each eligible business activity, calculate the QBI separately. The QBI is generally the net income or loss from the activity, excluding certain items such as capital gains or losses, dividends and interest income.

3 - Consider limitations and thresholds: QBI calculations may be subject to various limitations and thresholds. One such limitation is the taxable income threshold, which can affect the availability and amount of the QBI deduction. For tax years beginning in 2021, the threshold is $329,800 for married filing jointly or $164,925 for individual taxpayers.

4 - Apply W-2 wage and qualified property limitations (if applicable): For certain businesses, there are additional limitations based on W-2 wages and qualified property. If the small corporation is subject to these limitations, calculate the allowable QBI deduction based on a combination of the QBI, W-2 wages paid by the business and the unadjusted basis of qualified property used in the business.

5 - Determine the QBI deduction: Once the QBI is calculated for each eligible business activity and relevant limitations are applied, then the overall QBI deduction for the small corporation can be determined. The QBI deduction is generally a percentage (up to 20 percent) of the total QBI from all eligible activities.

Tax Help MD staff warns that it's important to note that tax laws and regulations are subject to change, and there may be additional considerations and complexities involved in calculating QBI for small corporations. Therefore, consulting with a qualified tax professional or accountant who is familiar with specific circumstances is highly recommended to ensure accurate and compliant calculations.

"We're a small business - just like many of our clients - so we're intimately familiar with their situations and how to help them achieve the best outcomes possible," Drouin says.

About Tax Help MD:

In business since 2012, Tax Help MD is a results-driven, full-service tax resolution organization which specializes in helping taxpayers get free of the stress and strain of tax debt. It has a CPA and tax attorney on staff and will help to set up IRs payment plans as needed too.

Sequoia Real Estate Launches Partnership Program to Support Agent Growth

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Sequoia Real Estate just launched a new partnership program and KeyOpp Real Estate is its first affiliate partner. The program happened somewhat organically as it was in response to one of their agents looking to leverage her experience to grow a company.

"When Melanie Leung, one of our top associates, told me she was thinking of starting something of her own, I contemplated what we could do to offer her more - to create a holistic environment where everyone could grow and benefit," Kelvin Kam, Managing Broker, Sequoia Real Estate, says.

And so, the Sequoia Partnership Program was born. Kam explains that this platform supports brokers who want to create and grow their own company - without the time, cost or risk of operating their own brokerage.

Agents can leverage the Sequoia Real Estate infrastructure, support and community to jumpstart their company.

"We treat each brand like it's our own and will make sure we do whatever we can for their success," Kam says. "Our partners benefit from the ongoing accountability, strategic planning and catered approach toward their growth."

Melanie and Lawrence Leung, Co-Founders of KeyOpp Real Estate, are excited to be Sequoia's first partner. Originally launched as a property management firm, they've now added a real estate sales division.

"In the past five years, they've grown their property management company to over 400 doors, so offering real estate sales is the right step to further support their clients," Kam says.

Beyond Sequoia's management support, their extended network of agents provides the absolute best environment for someone to launch their own business. Why? While they're focused on building their brand, they also have access to an established community for inspiration and collaboration.

"Building a business can be lonely and a little scary, but knowing that you have a team not only behind you but there alongside you, can definitely help you grow more effectively," Kam says.

At Sequoia, growth is important, but focusing on the journey makes it much more meaningful. Sequoia's journey involves the people around them and even though there may be different brands and goals, growing together and supporting each other creates an environment that fuels a healthy and sustainable business.

About Sequoia Real Estate:

Sequoia Real Estate was founded by Kelvin Kam in 2010. Currently, it has more than 100 agents in four offices: San Francisco, Pinole, San Mateo, and Oakland. There's also a commercial division - Sequoia Commercial Group.

‘Forgive – Don’t Forget,’ a Journey to Return a Samurai Sword, Airs on Documentary Showcase

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Scientology Network's DOCUMENTARY SHOWCASE - the weekly series providing a platform for independent filmmakers to air films on important social, cultural and environmental issues - presents the award-winning documentary "Forgive - Don't Forget" premiering on June 9, 2023.

Forgive - Don't Forget chronicles the journey by an American to return a Japanese samurai sword surrendered at the end of World War II to the family of its original owner in an attempt to better understand the past and build a bridge between cultures.

Codirected by Brad Bennett, Forgive - Don't Forget is, at its core, about the connection between two very different cultures and the importance of remembrance. The Japanese sword is a symbol deeply embedded in Japan's history and spiritual heritage. When an American who inherited a surrendered sword from World War II decides to try and track down the family of the original owner in hopes of returning it, he encounters many seemingly insurmountable barriers. His quest ultimately leads to a better understanding of both American and Japanese cultures and helps bridge the gap between the two.

ABOUT BRAD BENNETT

ADA Compliance and Digital Kiosks: Ensuring Accessibility in Healthcare Settings

DENVER, Colo. /ScoopCloud/ -- Kiosk Innovations, a U.S. based digital kiosk manufacturing company, would like to inform the various stakeholders within the healthcare industry about the importance of digital kiosks in the medical field and emphasize the need for ADA compliance to ensure equal access and inclusion for all patients. Consulting with experts, such as Kiosk Innovations, can maximize inclusion and efficiency in implementing self-service solutions.

Digital kiosks serve an increasingly wide variety of tasks in today's society. It is no question these terminals can efficiently provide services in healthcare by completing tasks such as wayfinding directions as well as self service check into Epic's Welcome or other EHR systems. Being the patients first impression of a medical group, it is important that these devices are noticeable, welcoming, and easy to use for patients to ensure the patient's journey is fluid which ultimately increases adoption rates in this technology and helps instill confidence in patients.

It is important to understand the demographic of the typical healthcare patient. In many cases these individuals are older and/or may have a higher rate of disability (whether temporary or permanent) than the average US population. Healthcare providers have both an ethical and legal obligation to provide the same level of service to patients with common disabilities. ADA compliance is clearance and reach for those who are wheelchair bound, an audible form of navigation and either tactile or voice recognition for those who are visually impaired, or visual cues for those with auditory impairments.

To fulfil your legal obligations and be ADA compliant one must understand what information is being communicated, what tasks are to be completed, and provide equal access to this information as well as provide an equal amount of privacy. Not providing an equally accessible solution can result in legal ramifications, ethical shortcomings, reputational damage, and a lower adoption rate.

ADA compliance should not just be a legal requirement. Providing equal access and inclusion is the right thing for so many more reasons than just legal ramifications. Ensuring a digital self-service solution is ADA compliant ensures individuals remain autonomous. This allows a much larger range of patience that can complete tasks more efficiently, having a larger pool of patience that can help themselves helps drive organizational efficiencies.

The purpose of self service is to drive efficiency to patients as well as the organization, the greater accessibility the larger the pool of users, the larger the pool of users, the more efficiency gained. Self-service is a tool, the consultant at Kiosk Innovations can help guide you towards a solution that maximizes inclusion for your patients and efficiency for your organization.
