108-Year-Old Tulsa Race Massacre Survivor Viola Ford Fletcher Turns to Literary Activism to Seek Justice, Making History as Oldest Woman in the World to Publish Memoir

NEW YORK, N.Y. /ScoopCloud/ -- Mocha Media Inc is honored to announce the publication of "DON'T LET THEM BURY MY STORY, The Oldest Living Survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre In Her Own Words" (Hardcover; On Sale: May 30, 2023; $29.99; ISBN: 978-1737168409) by Viola Ford Fletcher with her grandson Ike Howard on the 102nd Anniversary of the event that caused the single worst incident of racial violence in the history of the United States.

"I have lived through the massacre every day. Our country may forget this history, but I cannot." - Viola Ford Fletcher.

A lifetime in the making, "DON'T LET THEM BURY MY STORY" shares the journey of the oldest survivor and last living witness of the Tulsa Massacre of 1921. In her memoir, Ms. Fletcher, affectionally known as "Mother Fletcher," takes us through the journey of a terrified seven-year-old girl awakened in the middle of the night and forced to flee her burning neighborhood of Greenwood to the 107-year-old family matriarch testifying before Congress100 years later to the date seeking justice for the families of the greatest tragedy to take place on American soil.

"I will never forget the violence of the white mob when we left our home. I still see Black men being shot, Black bodies lying in the street. I still smell smoke and see fire. I still see Black businesses being burned. I still hear airplanes flying overhead. I hear the screams," Fletcher told Congress. "I have lived through the massacre every day. Our country may forget this history, but I cannot."

Despite 1921 Tulsa being a highly segregated city, the 10,000 Black residents of its Greenwood community created a thriving business district known as "Black Wall Street." But unfortunately, what should have been an opportunity to create generational wealth, became a nightmare that killed hundreds of Black Tulsans. The thousands of survivors who had just lost loved ones and millions of dollars in property were then forced into internment camps.

With no one ever held accountable for the horror they endured, these traumatized American citizens had to figure out how to survive in a country that attacked them with military force and threatened their lives if they ever attempted to tell their stories. For 102 years, the remaining survivors patiently waited to be acknowledged, heard, and restored.

"My grandmother was afraid to tell her stories for many years in fear of retaliation," says her grandson Ike Howard, co-writer and President of the Viola Ford Fletcher Foundation. Finally, the retired military veteran suggested that perhaps God had blessed her with longevity so she could tell everyone what happened in Tulsa. "Knowing I was here to protect her, she was encouraged to conquer her fear. She looked at me and said, "Alright then, go tell my damn story."

"DON'T LET THEM BURY MY STORY" is set to publish on May 30, 2023, the 102nd Anniversary of the Tulsa Race Massacre, under Mocha Media, a Black-woman-owned publishing company that produces original, curated, and user-generated content digital and traditional formats. Upon publication Ms. Fletcher will be 109 years old, making her the oldest centurion to ever write a book.

"What an honor it is to make history on International Women's Day with Mother Fletcher, who is using the power of the pen to keep her survival story alive. It's Literary Activism at its finest," says Margo Ochoa, CEO of Mocha Media Inc. "Because our publishing model not only provides a platform for marginalized writers but it also allows Ms. Fletcher to receive immediate royalties, this we in our own way can do our part to assist in the economic restoration of Ms. Fletcher and her family."

Ms. Fletcher and Ike Howard along with her "Baby Brother" Van Ellis (102) who wrote the forward to the book will embark on tour during the spring and summer of 2023.

Providing Help in Turkey to the Survivors of the February 6 Earthquake

ANTAKYA, Turkey /ScoopCloud/ -- A team of Scientologists who are disaster response specialists from Pakistan has now joined volunteers from the Scientology Center of Tel Aviv and other emergency response-trained responders who are providing relief in Turkey.

It is estimated the earthquake killed 6,000 in Syria and 46,000 in Turkey. And hundreds of thousands have been left homeless. UNICEF describes the needs as "huge," stating "continued support is vital."

As aid pours into Turkey, the Scientology volunteers are primarily focused on seeing that supplies get into the hands of those most in need.

"We arrived in a village and came across a family of 20 living in tents pitched outside their home that was destroyed by the earthquake," says one of the volunteers. "They had no supplies left." The volunteers left them with food kits, each containing 45 pounds of food-enough to hold them over for several weeks.

The volunteers are providing any help that is needed but are primarily distributing food, water, winter clothing, bedding and sanitary supplies.

The Scientology Volunteer Ministers headquarters in Los Angeles has put out a call for experienced disaster response specialists who can join them in providing help. The Scientology Volunteer Ministers program is an embracive initiative, created in the mid-1970s by Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard, that provides community service, disaster relief and emergency response.

MCTlive! Lock Volume Indices: February 2023 Data

SAN DIEGO, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Mortgage Capital Trading, Inc. (MCT®), the leader in capital markets software and services supporting more lenders with hedging and pipeline management solutions than any other single provider, is pleased to present the MCTlive! Lock Volume Indices for February 2023. MCT Data represents a balanced cross section of several hundred lenders among retail, correspondent, wholesale, and consumer direct channels. A broad-based view of the entire market provides a more accurate picture of mortgage originations versus indices that are influenced by mega lenders. The February MCTlive! Lock Volume Indices is broken out by transaction type: purchase, rate/term refinance, and cash out refinance.

February MCTlive! Lock Volume Indices show that after an uptick in January, lock volume decreased across the board for the month. Purchase lock activity was down 13% compared to January, rate/term refinance volume was 42%, and cash-out refinance volume was down 25%. Lock activity in total was down 15% versus January. The news may be disappointing, but as the Fed reaches its terminal fed funds rate for this cycle, we should see downward pressure on mortgage rates, which will only help increase origination activity. For added context, total lock activity is still down 54% from one year ago. That is mostly due to a drop off in refinance demand, as purchase lock activity sits 41% lower than at the same point last year. Rate and term refinance volume is down 86% from one year ago, and cash-out refinance volume is down 87% over that same period.

It is important to note that MCT's rate lock activity indices are based on actual dollar volume of locked loans, not number of applications. Especially in a tight purchase market, MCT believes its methodology (using actual loans locked vs. applications) is a more reliable metric. There is a higher likelihood of having multiple applications per funded loan, and prequals do not convert at as high of a rate in the current market as has historically been the case - especially when applications are counted at the early stage of entering a property address.

* Index values to end February as a percentage benchmarked to the start of the month

Category | Month-Over-Month Index Value Change

Tree Care Marketing Company Founder Reveals a Simple System to Increase Sales by 30% Overnight

EXTON, Pa. /ScoopCloud/ -- Tree Leads Today (TLT) founder Don Dowd is revealing a simple system that he says can increase tree care sales by 30% overnight. The system involves sending a follow-up letter to homeowners who have received an estimate for the tree care company's services. Dowd refers to this system as "the 60-cent salesperson."

"The company is already paying for the lead, and the homeowner has already expressed enough interest in receiving an estimate," Dowd says. "The 60 cents or so that you spend on paper and stamps is the best money you could ever spend to turn that lead into a sale."

Here are the steps that Dowd lays out to successfully make this system work:

1 - Use a white plain #10 envelope with a first-class stamp. Purchase a large supply of these ahead of time along with enough paper to print out a sufficient number of copies of the letter.

2 - Customize this letter with your company information. (You can copy it directly from this article or contact Tree Leads Today to get a free copy emailed to you.)

Good Afternoon!

I recently gave you an estimate for tree services at your residence. If you have any questions or would like more information about the estimate, please don't hesitate to call me anytime!

We at COMPANY understand the value of a long-term client. We would love the opportunity to gain your business now and in the future.

Sincerely,

NAME

3 - Print out a bunch of follow-up letters ahead of time based on the number of estimates you typically do each week/month. Have your estimator sign each letter personally, then stuff the letter into one of the envelopes.

4 - Do NOT put your return address on the outside of the envelope. You are not required to put a return address on the envelope if you use a first-class stamp. Not doing so will help ensure that the envelope gets opened.

5 - At the end of each day, hand-write the name and address of every homeowner who received an estimate that day, place a first-class stamp on the envelopes and mail them. By sending the letters the same day as you did the estimate, the customer will have it in hand usually within 24-48 hours, which is the perfect follow-up timeframe to remind them of your visit.

"Many companies don't even return calls or show up for an estimate," Dowd continues. "Implementing this simple follow-up system sets your business up to outshine the competition. At this point, price becomes a lot less of a factor, because the homeowner knows they are dealing with a quality company, one that won't do shoddy work, leave stuff behind after the job is completed, etc."

The follow-up letter system is hardly used in the industry, even though it is easy to implement and requires minimal resources. The system can be done by anyone in the company and requires no special skills or training.

"If it is a larger tree care company, the letters can be prepared in advance and kept in the office, ready to be addressed and sent out each day", Dowd continues. "For smaller companies where the owner is the one going out and doing the estimates, for example, you can just keep the envelopes stuffed and on hand in your truck, then hand-write the address on them and mail them out at the end of the day."

Dowd's method has been tried and tested in his own tree care business, and many of the tree care companies he works with that are doing well into the 7 figures have also implemented it.

"When I implemented this system in my own tree care company over two decades ago, I saw a 30% increase in sales virtually overnight, and those results are pretty typical. So for example, if you send 1,000 of these letters, you could potentially land an additional 300 jobs. At $1000 per job, that could add $300,000 in gross revenue to the company from 1,000 estimates and mailings."

Dowd believes his follow-up mailing system works so well not only because so few companies do it, but also because direct mail is generally a better way to follow up with customers than emails or phone calls.

"I've found that the personalized letter works more effectively than emailing or calling for doing follow ups after an estimate. Emails can get buried, deleted, or end up in the spam box; and phone calls can seem invasive, especially if you catch somebody at the wrong time. A letter like this will almost always be opened, and it can be opened and read at the recipient's leisure."

OPSEC is a Critical Requirement for Open-Source and Dark Net Collection says Treadstone 71

HALF MOON BAY, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Treadstone 71, LLC, the source for cyber intelligence, counterintelligence, hybrid and cognitive warfare announces new courses and services. "Targeted adversary data collection creates significant risk when seeking relevant information not available from threat intelligence feeds. Our operational security (OPSEC) training courses reduce risk to negligible levels that risk and legal departments find acceptable," asserted Jeff Bardin, Chief Intelligence Officer at Treadstone 71.

"We assess and teach, repeatable and measurable OPSEC during open-source collection (OSINT) or the dark net. Building heuristics with collection efforts creates the perception of trust. Our methods ensure the protection of technical and cyber-HUMINT footprints."

Treadstone 71 research found immaturity in the organizational basics of cyber intelligence collection. Treadstone 71 techniques alleviate corporate concerns over self-attribution. The internally tracked and consistently validated methods remove passive collection risks. The tactics lead to relevant information collection without paying for general data scrapped by others and third-party analysts learning your business at excessive cost. Intelligence organizations often overlook operational security when researching. OPSEC becomes a forgotten, pro-forma activity without oversight.

The threat environment changes, social media platforms change, browser vulnerabilities and updates create new leaks that do not get addressed. The Treadstone 71 training and associated services include standardized anonymity methods, browser configurations, container builds, persona alignments to technology, PIRs and testing methods used by adversaries.

Students leave with the confidence that their collection activities do not leak data. Attendees also take with them a plethora of in-class used tools and techniques along with open-source and dark net sites where ransomware and threat actors operate.

Treadstone 71 offers March Madness OPSEC discounts through the end of the month. No one wants to pay over $7K for a course!

"We ensure intelligence analysts collect information safely in ways that others can execute at any time due to standardized tracking," continued Bardin. "If you want to ween yourself off the massive fees associated with threat intelligence feeds and generalized data thrown your way as relevant, then take our classes. We prepare pertinent information prior to class start that demonstrates the immediate value of our procedures, which become yours."

NGPA Stands With Transgender Aviation Community

ST. LOUIS PARK, Minn. /ScoopCloud/ -- The NGPA strongly condemns Sen. Cruz's transphobic statement. Safety of flight is threatened by statements like Sen. Cruz'. NGPA recognizes that inclusivity and CRM are fundamental safety of flight issues. When pilots and aviation professionals across disciplines are unable to bring their whole selves to work, CRM breaks down, and so does safety.

On March 1, 2023, during the Senate Commerce Committee hearing for President Biden's pick to lead the Federal Aviation Administration, Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) is quoted claiming, "It gives no comfort to the flying public that their pilot might be a transgender witch but doesn't actually know how to prevent a plane from crashing..."

One of the most basic, fundamental principles of aviation safety is effective Crew Resource Management (CRM). Sen. Cruz admits he is not a pilot, thus, not an expert in aviation safety matters. It is understandable that the senator is egregiously ill-informed in his understanding of the dynamic relationship between pilots in the flight deck, and how critical CRM is to the safe execution of any air mission.

NGPA is committed to ensuring every pilot, and aviation professional is empowered to freely express and bring their whole selves to work. When aviation professionals exercise their judgment and expertise without fear of discrimination or harassment based on their gender identity, aviation safety is upheld at the highest standard.

NGPA & its Transgender & Non-binary Committee welcome the opportunity to educate Sen. Cruz and members of the Senate Commerce Committee on effective Crew Resource Management, how an inclusive flight deck is a safe flight deck, and how to be a supportive ally to Transgender aviators across the industry.

Praying and Riding for Peace Through the Streets of South Los Angeles

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- On Sunday, February 26, bikers, low riders and Corvette club members rode through South Los Angeles in celebration of the 10th anniversary of the United in Peace Rides. Along the way, they stopped to pray for the victims of senseless violence. And, as it does each month, the Peace Ride ended at the Church of Scientology Community Center in South L.A., whose participation in each of the rides has been pivotal in the movement's success.

Each month, Peace Riders hand out copies of The Way to Happiness. The signature orange color of the custom cover Peace Ride booklets matches the initiative's banners, flags and T-shirts. But it is what is inside these booklets that makes them so important: 19 common-sense precepts or values shared by people of goodwill of all cultures, backgrounds, religions and beliefs.

A police officer taking part in this month's Peace Ride joined the LAPD eight years ago after serving in the Marines. Born and raised in South Central, he knows first-hand the cultural and ethnic tensions that break out in violence in the city. He spoke of the importance of The Way to Happiness as a way to cut through differences and restore communication by reminding people of what we all have in common.

A woman joined one of the three Peace Ride prayer circles held along Sunday's route to pray for a life lost to gang violence. She spoke of the importance of getting this booklet into the hands of youth. Young people have to make decisions that will affect them the rest of their lives, she said. Their decisions can go either way. And The Way to Happiness can help them choose peace and a better life for their families and the entire community.

At the Scientology Community Center at the end of the ride, a Peace Ride board member presented an award to author, humanitarian and Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard who authored The Way to Happiness, saying the booklet's common-sense values form the foundation of the initiative's success. Next, the Peace Rides recognized the LAPD for 10 years of protecting the riders each month with motorcycle patrols from the South Traffic Division.

United in Peace is a multiethnic, multifaith popular movement that unites people to work together to bring peace to our inner cities. Law enforcement and government leaders have recognized and acknowledged the reduction in violence and crime rates in neighborhoods touched by the Peace Rides. In Compton, California, the mayor and city council have acknowledged the Peace Rides, noting that each ride has also resulted in statistical drops in crime.

For more information on the Peace Rides, watch an episode of Voices for Humanity, an original series of the Scientology Network. Learn how Minister Tony Muhammad used these rides to build a peace movement among notorious warring gangs in South Los Angeles.

Scientology ecclesiastical leader Mr. David Miscavige dedicated the Church of Scientology of Inglewood and its South Los Angeles Community Center in 2011. The Church and Community Center are featured in an episode of Destination Scientology on the Scientology Network.

The Scientology Network is available on DIRECTV Channel 320, DIRECTV STREAM, AT&T U-verse and can be streamed at Scientology.tv, on mobile apps and via the Roku, Amazon Fire and Apple TV platforms.

LenderLogix offers a suite of tightly integrated white-labeled solutions for lenders of all sizes. Its most recent innovation, LiteSpeed, a streamlined point-of-sale (POS) system, has gained significant traction with lenders since its release in early Q1 2023. Early results indicate borrowers go from perusing a lender's website to becoming a credit-authorized lead in 90 seconds, and 72% of all borrowers upload at least one document within 30 minutes.

Yielding large results for lenders across the country, QuickQual users see an average increase in their pre-qualification to application conversion rate of 30%. In addition, QuickQual boasts an average adoption rate of 95%, and borrowers log in to QuickQual an average of 22 times before submitting an offer. Fee Chaser is the fee collection solution of choice for several top-10 U.S. lenders. Companies using Fee Chaser collect 94% of their upfront fees within 24 hours, with 60% in less than five minutes.

"As someone who had a front-row seat to watch the housing economy's tech transformation, I am increasingly in awe of the innovation we have seen from the Tech100 winners year after year," HW Media Editor in Chief Sarah Wheeler said. "With new technologies emerging every day, I am proud to be part of this exciting journey that has positioned the industry to be more efficient, more transparent and more accessible than ever before."

ACES Quality Management Makes Ninth Appearance on HousingWire Tech100 List of Top Mortgage Tech Companies

DENVER, Colo. /ScoopCloud/ -- ACES Quality Management® (ACES), the leading provider of enterprise quality management and control software for the financial services industry, has been selected for the ninth consecutive year by HousingWire magazine for its annual Tech100 awards program. The magazine chose ACES for the continual innovation of its flagship quality control (QC) auditing platform ACES Quality Management & Control® software.

"2022 was a highly volatile year for mortgage lenders. While loan quality is always a moving target, last year's challenges certainly underscored the need to maintain quality and mitigate risk," ACES CEO Trevor Gauthier said. "At ACES, we're committed to making this target obtainable and seamless by delivering QC tools to help lenders maintain the integrity of their origination and servicing portfolios. Even with lenders tightening their budgets in the face of rapidly declining loan volumes, we still increased our client base by 22%, which speaks to the importance lenders place on loan quality."

In 2022, ACES launched a new compliance-driven oversight process via a role-based permission system within ACES CONNECT. The module allows users to self-remediate audit findings, access reporting and trending data, review audit documents and manage corrective action plans in coordination with their organization's risk department. The company also released a new servicing-focused multi-answer managed questionnaire and added and reviewed over 950 articles along with close to 200 calendar items to its free Compliance NewsHub, in addition to producing its quarterly Mortgage QC Industry Trends report.

2022 also saw the successful launch of ACES' inaugural ACES ENGAGE event for mortgage/financial services risk management and QC professionals. During the event, the company announced its new Certified ACES Administrator (CAA) program to enhance users' knowledge base and offer official accreditation for system administrators. ACES ENGAGE will take place again this year at the Broadmoor Resort in Colorado Springs, Colo., on May 17-19, 2023.

Scientology Volunteer Ministers: Helping One Person Can Change the World

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa /ScoopCloud/ -- Growing up in Mitchel Plain wasn't easy, according to Luce-Lynn Fondling, a life skills coach and Scientology Volunteer Minister who works with community leaders, educators and both bullies and victims in schools. Drug dealers dominate her neighborhood. "There is violence everywhere," she says.

Mitchel Plain was built in the 1970s for people forcibly removed by the apartheid South African government from areas set aside for "whites only." It is notorious for gang violence, substance abuse and poverty.

"I was always fighting," she says in a video on the Volunteer Ministers South Africa YouTube channel. "I was always in fights. I was always, 'you can't tell me anything.'"

Then she met a Scientology volunteer and what the volunteer told Luce seemed to make sense.

"How do you know all these things?" Luce asked her, and the volunteer introduced her to the Tools for Life-a series of 19 free online courses.

"When I did the courses, I become a different person," says Luce. "I know that I've changed because when people attack me, I'm like 'Hold on. I'm not that Luce anymore.' And then they will approach me and say, 'Look here, what happened to you? Why are you so changed?' And then I share the 19 Tools."

Working in coordination with Scientology Volunteer Ministers African headquarters at Castle Kyalami in Johannesburg, Luce delivers seminars to community leaders to empower them so they know what to do.

A community activist who took part in the training says Luce's Tools for Life seminars are "equipping those in my community so we can create a positive ripple effect. The goal is to break the cycle of poverty."

"Sometimes children are acting out, but you don't know why they are acting out," says the principal of an early childhood development center who attended Luce's seminar. "Their parents might be on drugs or they're using alcohol .... The Tools show us how to deal with these people."

"It was a blessing for me to be part of this," says an intern assistant at the same center.

"For me, change is possible," says a ward committee member who completed the 19 courses. "It just depends on what I utilize [from these courses]."

Luce says, "these Tools for Life really changed my life because I am now able to create the change I want to see around me without waiting for anyone. I can see it made a difference in my life. And I'm sure it's going to make a difference in everybody's life."

Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard developed the Tools for Life for the training of Scientology Volunteer Ministers, which is a religious social service sponsored by the Church of Scientology International.

Mr. Hubbard described the Volunteer Minister as "a person who helps his fellow man on a volunteer basis by restoring purpose, truth and spiritual values to the lives of others." Their creed: "A Volunteer Minister does not shut his eyes to the pain, evil and injustice of existence. Rather, he is trained to handle these things and help others achieve relief from them and new personal strength as well."

Their motto is, no matter the circumstances, "Something can be done about it."

Castle Kyalami serves as a home for the community and a nexus for all who share the goal of bettering the lives of individuals and strengthening communities across the region, nation, and all of Africa. Mr. David Miscavige, ecclesiastical leader of the Scientology religion, dedicated Castle Kyalami on New Year's Day 2019, reaffirming the vision of Mr. Hubbard that "from Southern Africa will spring the next great civilization on this planet."

FormFree sharpens focus on decentralizing and democratizing consumer access to credit with strategic divestiture of AccountChek

ATHENS, Ga., /ScoopCloud/ -- Founder and CEO Brent Chandler today heralded a new era for FormFree® following its strategic divestiture of asset-verification service AccountChek®. Moving forward, the fintech will focus on products that advance its mission to decentralize and democratize the way consumers understand their financial data and access credit opportunities. Eric Lapin, who joined FormFree in 2022 as chief strategy officer, will guide the company's next chapter as president.

"FormFree changed the lending industry when we launched its first wave of digital transformation, and we're ready to change it again by ushering in a new era of consumer empowerment and expanded access to credit for all people," said Chandler. "As our new president, Eric will play a critical role in guiding FormFree's next chapter as we double down on creating new avenues for lenders to responsibly serve credit invisibles and other underserved populations."

Lapin says the company's new direction will include an increased focus on blockchain and other decentralized Web3 technologies that give users greater control over their data and privacy. For example, the Qualified Borrower™ (QB) token Lapin helped conceptualize and bring to market last year enables FormFree to share consumers' validated Financial DNA® and indicators of homebuying interest with best-fit lenders and service providers while keeping consumers' identities anonymous.

A widely recognized innovator in mortgage and financial services technologies, FormFree is the developer of Passport®, a first-of-its-kind mobile application that verifies and perpetually updates a consumer's comprehensive Financial DNA and puts consumers in the driver's seat of their self-sovereign financial identity (SSFI). FormFree is also the creator of the Residual Knowledge Income Index™ (RIKI™), a method for evaluating consumer creditworthiness based on cash-flow analysis. RIKI allows lenders to safely extend credit to consumers whose lack of credit history or thin credit files may not meet traditional underwriting requirements.

FormFree will continue to operate in the mortgage space with a focus on helping lenders meet the needs of more than 45 million Americans who are either credit-unserved or credit-underserved. In so doing, FormFree will help regulated financial institutions meet their obligations under the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA), which calls on banks to meet the needs of low- and moderate-income borrowers in the communities they serve.

The fintech will also continue its ongoing expansion beyond mortgage origination into other phases of the homeownership journey, including home search, pre-purchase housing counseling and loss mitigation. In addition, Lapin sees opportunities for FormFree's know your everything (KYE) and anti-money laundering (AML) capabilities to disrupt the digital currency, auto loan and personal loan verticals.

"FormFree is proud to have pioneered the mortgage industry's first asset verification service, and that revolutionary spirit will propel the next phase of our growth," said Lapin. "Moving forward with a laser focus on the future will allow FormFree to innovate with the agility of a startup while benefitting from all the experience and wisdom we have accumulated over nearly two decades in business."

About FormFree®:

FormFree helps lenders understand credit risk like never before with its patented Passport® product, which opens doors to more inclusive credit decisioning by revealing each customer's true ability to pay (ATP®), and patent-pending Residual Knowledge Income Index™ (RIKI™), an innovative method for evaluating consumer creditworthiness based on residual income analysis.
