The Lowell Chamber Orchestra releases ‘Miniature Symphonies,’ a pandemic-defeating album

LOWELL, Mass. /ScoopCloud/ -- he Lowell Chamber Orchestra announces the release of its second album, "Miniature Symphonies," a project started at the height of the pandemic, and designed to keep selected composers and musicians active at a time of insecurity in the performing arts.

The album is part of an initiative by the Lowell Chamber Orchestra's Music Director Orlando Cela called "Lowell Threads," a way to pay homage to the textile history of the city of Lowell. The orchestra commissions a new way to showcase new composers alongside a set of works by a well-known composer, a genre, a style, etc., and programs them next to each other, allowing for a multidimensional experience akin to a fabric of new works crisscrossing with established masterpieces. In the case of these album, four living composers - Brittney Benton, Yoko Nakatani, Quinn Mason, and Kevin L. Scott - were commissioned to write a piece matching the instrumentation of one of five chamber symphonies by Darius Milhaud.

"Orlando Cela's creative ideas always inspire me, and this project was no exception," says composer Yoko Nakatani. "I was honored to be a part of it, and wish the Lowell Chamber Orchestra great success in the future with Orlando's excellent leadership. I would also like to thank the recording engineer Will Holland, who is a true professional and made a difficult process easy."

Producing this album kept a number of musicians active during the pandemic. The reduced instrumentation - no more than 10 and as little as seven players at a time - eased the finding of venues; the shortness of the works, none longer than 7 minutes, allowed more recording time to commission more composers.

"We started recording 10 feet apart from each other, and behind plexiglass shields" says LCO's Music Director Orlando Cela, "but we kept going when concert halls were closed. We were very fortunate to be able to access the beautiful spaces at Middlesex Community College Lowell campus. Such great acoustics!"

The four commissioned works sometime compliment, sometimes opposed the nature of the matching work. Las Vegas composer Brittney Benton's "The Sentinel" was written with the same instrumentation as Milhaud's first chamber symphony: while Milhaud's work (subtitled "Spring") has a bright and pastoral quality to it, Benton's work offers a dramatic story filled with foreboding. On the other hand, Dallas-based composer Quinn Mason wrote a work orchestrated for the exact instrumentation, and is heavily inspired by the style of Milhaud's fourth chamber symphony, as the title suggests - Petite Symphonie de Chambre Contemporaine (après Milhaud).

Composer Brittney Benton says, "'The Sentinel' was a joy to write, and I'm excited to bring the story I've crafted through my music to CD and to the world."

"I thoroughly enjoyed writing for the Lowell Chamber Orchestra and to have a work recorded by them is an honor. The entire process had me involved in some way so it truly felt like a fruitful collaboration," says composer Quinn Mason.

The Lowell Chamber Orchestra is Lowell's first and only professional orchestra. We provide the area with an ensemble that presents music at a very high level, of all styles and time periods, entirely free to the general population. The performances take place at Middlesex Community College, the University of Massachusetts Lowell, and at other venues around the area, to provide students easy access to concerts without leaving their respective campuses, and allow the public in general to attend a concert at a proper performance space. The LCO is a member of Lowell City of Learning, working to make Lowell an UNESCO learning city.

The album will be released this Friday, August 26th, in the most popular digital platforms. For more information about the album, visit: https://www.navonarecords.com/catalog/nv6447/

Kauai Humane Society to be the Beneficiary of Children’s Sing-along Book Sales

LA JOLLA, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Children's sing-along book author and vocalist Bridget Burton will donate $5 from every book bundle sale to the Kauai Humane Society (KHS), starting August 22, 2022. A special "give back" page on the book's website will keep track of purchases of "Annie Kai Lani Kai Lou: Kauai's Beloved Pup" (ISBN: 978-0996216050) hard cover print and companion digital version bundle.

Twenty-five percent of sales through this special page will be donated to KHS through year-end in support of their pet adoption programs.

"I have enjoyed the years of connecting with this organization and being a dog lover all my life, it's a pleasure to be able to give back through sales of the book," said Burton. She added that, "When I learned about KHS's off-island pet adoption programs, I felt that was the place that could make the most difference."

"Annie Kai Lani Kai Lou: Kauai's Beloved Pup" is a children's illustrated book set in Kauai and based on Bridget's dog Annie, an English Springer Spaniel. It features Annie's adventures throughout the island of Kauai as she canoes, ziplines, surfs, and even enjoys a luau with a Shih Tzu.

In its digital version children can read, or join Bridget who sings the verses, accompanied by Hawaiian steel guitar and ukulele.

The Kauai Humane Society's Executive Director Nicole Crane is delighted to accept these donations. "Our off-island adoption endeavor, Mission Mainland 2.0, recently came to an end with the successful adoption of 125 pets. We would like to continue that effort and the news of Burton's 'give back' program will certainly help us do that." With the costs on the rise for all aspects of their programs, this no-kill shelter with a high-population of pets is looking for ways to encourage and pay for off-island adoptions and reach as many people on the West Coast as possible.

In addition to the monetary donations, Burton is sending press releases to West Coast news outlets, posting on social media, and is donating Hawaiian bandanas for the next 100 pets adopted.

Digitizing Animal Health Using LoRaWAN with FeverTags®

DALLAS, Texas /ScoopCloud/ -- FeverTags® LLC of Dallas, Texas has partnered with Digi International to unveil a new connected data tag that detect disease within cattle before it spreads to the herd.

"This is the second generation tag we've designed to help detect Bovine Respiratory Disease (BRD) in cattle," explains FeverTags CEO John Greer. "BRD predominately affects feed yard cattle and can rapidly spread if it's not caught and treated early."

The new connected data tag collects and records animal data such as health, treatment, identification, location, and ownership chain, providing a Cattle Passport®.

"The new cloud-connected tag provides user control over temperatures thresholds, duration, notifications, and data sharing," says Greer. "This allows feedlots to monitor and report temperature data from cattle in real-time, providing early detection of disease long before visual observance of symptoms."

FeverTags® has six issued patents in several countries along with multiple trademarks and is the only device measuring real-time, undisturbed temperature in cattle. The tags have logged billions of datapoints in real-world use.

"Health monitoring and treatment response are critical to the future health of cattle," continues Greer. "By using the connected data tag, you can isolate sick animals from the herd early enough to prevent disease spread, drastically reducing death loss and ensuring a reduction or even elimination of antibiotics used."

* Real-time temperature monitoring in an undisturbed state

* Notification of sick animal(s) sent to various approved stakeholders

* Animal is easily identified via flashing light on the tag

* Tag continues to monitor after treatment to gauge effectiveness of treatment

* Treatment protocol may be entered and tracked

* Immediate and measurable economic returns on tag usage

New Children’s Book Embraces the Bond of Parents and Child Through Life and Death

WASHINGTON, D.C. /ScoopCloud/ -- With an aim to help families begin to heal after the terrible loss of a child, "ScootieToots and the Feathers From Heaven: A Family Healing Book" (ISBN: 978-0228866862) by Audri B. Cabness is a whimsical children's story with a powerful message that offers families an uplifting vantage point, at any point in their healing process, from which they are given the opportunity to begin to pivot from despair to serenity.

"A child's death is every parent's nightmare to say the least. But the siblings, grandparents, family and friends are also greatly impacted by that tremendous loss," says Cabness when asked why she wrote the book. "Often, they don't know what to say or how to feel. They may struggle with comforting the parents. The parents themselves may battle, not only with grief, but guilt. And the remaining children are just left devastated by the sudden loss of their sibling, cousin or friend.

"As a mother of a child who was taken too soon after birth, I wrote 'ScootieToots and the Feathers From Heaven' to offer hope to the grieving by allowing the reader to rest in the fact that their beloved child is no longer in pain, and will never experience suffering again."

Woven throughout this touching tale are biblical passages upon which the reader may reflect and find solace, and is meant for adults and children alike.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

AUDRI B. CABNESS is an author from the United States, and is also the founder of The Sebastiens Smile Foundation. In 2016, Ms. Cabness endured the pain associated with the loss of her beloved infant son, in whose honor the book was written.

Comedians with Disabilities Act Announces Northern California Tour: Author and Comic Nina G Hosts Comedy Troupe with Four Shows

OAKLAND, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- The producers and contributors of the Comedians with Disabilities Act are pleased to announce the upcoming tour of its wildly popular show in October 2022. The comedy troupe is the brainchild of the late comedian Michael O'Connell, who started the group in 2010, and was later joined by Steve Danner and Nina G not long after.

"The Comedians with Disabilities Act is a fabulous collection of comedians with disabilities, both seen and unseen, who bring forth the humor they find in their experiences," says Nina G.

In 2016, O'Connell sadly passed away - but the show he created lives on, spotlighting a variety of Disabled and outrageously funny comedians.

Nina G notes, "The upcoming lineup of shows includes disability representation from the following experiences: stuttering, dyslexia, Dwarfism, amputation, addiction recovery, OCD, depression, anxiety, PTSD, Autism, Tourette's syndrome, spina bifida, spinal muscular atrophy, multiple exostoses, hearing loss, cerebral palsy, epilepsy, and blindness."

Disability Awareness Month:

In the troupe's most recent news, the Comedians with Disabilities Act is announcing it will be touring Northern California, featuring four headliners across 4 different venues - just in time for the Disability Awareness Month of October. Author, comedian and Disability advocate Nina G, who has been with the Comedians with Disabilities Act since 2011, will host all four shows.

San Francisco Bay Area favorite at local clubs, Mean Dave, will headline Santa Cruz's Greater Purpose Brewing as part of the Santa Cruz Comedy Festival. Dave is in his 8th year of recovery from addiction, which he ingeniously weaves into his humor. "Not a lot of people know that being an addict in recovery is covered under the Americans with Disabilities Act," Mean Dave advocates.

Jade Theriault has performed multiple times with the Comedians with Disabilities Act and always brings down the house. As someone with Spinal Muscular Atrophy, Jade uses a wheelchair, but that experience isn't the only topic she jokes about. "We came a long way from crawling up steps and hiding away in homes. I do think the mainstream is ready for Disabled comedy. We're too loud for the microphones." Jade adds, "I'm stoked to headline Alameda's wheelchair accessible stage on October 13."

Dan Smith, who headlines the Sacramento Comedy Spot on October 14, sums up why he and so many others on this tour are excited. "Getting to share a stage and headline a show of comedians that represent the humor and the diversity of people in the disability community is the culmination of my comedy career to date. I can NOT wait for this show!"

"We're all comedians first," said Napa native and Sally Tomatoes' headliner on October 29, Steve Danner, who identifies as a Little Person and is one of the show's original founders. "But who says you can't make people laugh and send them home with something to think about too? While our first goal is to have fun and joke around, we also want to send a strong message that, even with a disability, we can reach our goals."

The following is the tour schedule with headliners. Tickets will be on sale soon.

* Saturday, October 1: The 9th Annual Santa Cruz Comedy Festival-Greater Purpose Brewing. Mean Dave headlines with Nina G, Loren Kraut, Jackson McBrayer, and Tut McCulloh

Scientology Churches Urge Action to Save Lives from Drug Overdose

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Scientology Churches and Scientologists mark International Drug Overdose Awareness Day by bringing the truth about drugs to bear against the deadly pandemic of overdose deaths. Drug overdose doesn't discriminate. It honors no borders. It strikes anyone and anywhere. And its allies are ignorance and deception.

This is why Scientologists the world over, working with like-minded groups and individuals, are launching International Overdose Awareness Day activities to promote drug prevention to end the senseless deaths.

Never has drug education and prevention been more important:

* The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that some 108,000 people in the U.S. died of drug overdoses from February 2021 to February 2022. Of those, more than 70 percent involved fentanyl and other synthetic opioids.

* Though overdose deaths are considerably lower in the UK than in the U.S., the British Medical Journal describes escalating rates of drug-related deaths in that country as "a public health crisis," with record numbers, the highest in Europe, increasing over the past decade.

* The number of Australians dying of unintentional drug overdose each year also continues to rise.

What is the answer?

The UN Office on Drugs and Crime states: "Prevention strategies based on scientific evidence working with families, schools, and communities can ensure that children and youth, especially the most marginalized and poor, grow and stay healthy and safe into adulthood and old age. For every dollar spent on prevention, at least ten can be saved in future health, social and crime costs."

The Church of Scientology and Scientologists support Foundation for a Drug-Free World, the world's largest nongovernmental education initiative. They sponsor Drug-Free World chapters, host drug prevention open house programs, and reach out to their communities on International Overdose Awareness Day and throughout the year with the Foundation's The Truth About Drugs series of fourteen illustrated drug information booklets containing facts about the most commonly abused drugs.

To make these resources broadly available, Scientology Network broadcasts:

* The Foundation's The Truth About Drugs: Real People-Real Stories documentary

* They Said-They Lied public service announcements

* Voices for Humanity episodes featuring drug-prevention activists who are saving young lives that would otherwise be lost to drugs.

The Church of Scientology International Dissemination and Distribution Center produces and distributes The Truth About Drugs Education Package free of charge to drug education instructors, law enforcement agencies, and government and private sector institutions.

The Scientology Network is available on DIRECTV Channel 320 and can be streamed at Scientology.tv, on mobile apps and via the Roku, Amazon Fire and Apple TV platforms. Since launching with a special episode featuring Scientology ecclesiastical leader Mr. David Miscavige, Scientology Network has been viewed in 240 countries and territories worldwide in 17 languages.

Can a MacBook Air Be Repaired? – Appleparts.io

MIDDLEBORO, Mass. /ScoopCloud/ -- AppleParts.io is your number one source for Apple Parts. We're dedicated to giving you the very best of Apple parts with a focus on affordability, quality, and customer service. Founded in 2017 by Ihor Kyselov, AppleParts.io has come a long way from its beginnings in Middleboro, Massachusetts.

Getting a MacBook device repaired can be a really stressful affair. Well, there are a lot of stores that offer apple repair services. However, all stores might not be reliable enough and going to the wrong store can cause more harm to the Apple device than good. So, it is always important to get Apple products repaired from a reputable store only.

Apple products can be really expensive and no one would want to compromise when it comes to repairing and replacement services for Apple devices. So, below are a few checkpoints that need to be considered while going for Apple repair services from a service provider:

Reputation Is Important:

It is really important for Apple users to check the reputation of the store before availing of the services being offered. There are different quick and easy ways by which the reputation can be checked. One of the easiest ways to know about the reliability of the store is to go through its website of the store. If the website is well-built with all the services properly mentioned, then it can be assumed that the store is a reputed one.

There are a lot of stores that provide details of user reviews and ratings on the website itself. They also provide the contact details of their previous clients. Apple users can refer to that to know more about their reputation. Performing a general query on the internet about Macbook Air Logic Board I7 Online in USA can also give an idea about the reputation of the store.

The Store Should Offer Quality Services:

Next comes the quality of services being offered by the Apple repair store. The store should be offering Apple users impeccable services so that they are able to go back with their Apple devices functioning as well as new. The quality of the services is really important when it comes to Apple products.

This is because Apple products can burn holes in the pockets and no one would want the devices to be mishandled. The quality of the services can also be known by looking for reviews and ratings from previous clients. The website can also provide details about the services being offered by a particular repair service center.

A Wide Range of Services:

It can be very difficult to predict what exactly is wrong with an Apple part. It may seem that there is a defect with a particular path, but after analysis, it may come to light that there are quite a number of defects in the device. So, it is always better to go for one such store that offers a wide range of services to the customers. This is going to make it really easy for the customers to get their Apple devices repaired.

Podiatric Surgeon Specializing in Nerve Pain, Rearfoot Reconstruction Comes to Celebration FL

CELEBRATION, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- For people suffering from nerve pain and other complex foot and ankle conditions, there's a reason to celebrate in Celebration. This week, Eric Krznaric, DPM, opened a new clinic for Modern Foot & Ankle at 1530 Celebration Blvd., in Celebration, Florida.

The office-the tenth for the multi-regional podiatric group-features the brand's signature services, such as digital X-ray technology, evening office hours, and online booking and check-in.

"They call Orlando 'The Happiest Place on Earth' as an ode to Disney," said Dr. Krznaric. "I'm excited to see what it has in store for me."

Dr. Krznaric is a board-certified podiatric surgeon with an impressive list of accomplishments. From playing Division 1 baseball in college, to serving as chief resident during his surgical residency, to completing a vigorous fellowship, Dr. Krznaric pursues every milestone with unparalleled determination.

"The well-rounded nature of my education has taught me different ways to approach a problem," he explained. "During residency, I gained experience in many different fields, including plastic surgery."

With his extensive background, Dr. Krznaric is qualified to treat a wide range of conditions and disorders using the latest techniques.

"My residency director, Dr. Alan MacGill, worked at an orthopedic group, allowing me to train with other subspecialities close to our field," said Dr. Krznaric. "My fellowship training fine-tuned those skills and enabled advancement in procedures such as rearfoot reconstruction and peripheral nerve surgery."

Following his fellowship training, Dr. Krznaric worked in private practice in Pennsylvania. When he heard that t Modern Foot & Ankle was in search of a new podiatrist, he said he seized the opportunity.

"The technology and treatment modalities at this practice make it very appealing for any provider to want to jump in feet first," he touted. "This allows for more efficiency in treating my patients which allows for more quality time in patient care."

According to the Cleveland Clinic, it is estimated that 25% to 30% of Americans will be affected by neuropathy. While many podiatrists choose to refer patients in need of peripheral nerve surgery to other physicians, Dr. Krznaric is proud to offer this service.

"I always want to challenge myself to be the best physician I can be," he said. "But I chose to get the best training available in the field of podiatry for one main reason: I wanted to be able to offer the patients I have the privilege of treating the best care possible."

CDF LABOR LAW LLP Named to Bloomberg Law’s Second Annual Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Framework

IRVINE, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- CDF Labor Law LLP, a California employment, labor and immigration employer-side law firm, was named one of only 43 U.S.-based law firms to earn a place on Bloomberg Law's second Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) Framework list.

For the second year in a row, CDF was recognized for its level of disclosure of diversity-related metrics and distinguished performance against six core pillars: demographics, leadership and talent pipeline, recruitment and retention, business innovation and strategy, marketing, and diversity & inclusion in the community.

"CDF is no stranger to DEI. From its inception in 1994, CDF has provided a platform allowing everyone a structural opportunity to advance regardless of their race, gender or sexual orientation," says Marie DiSante, Co-Founder and Firm Managing Partner. "We believe that a firm culture that prioritizes inclusivity leads to better outcomes, for both our firm and our clients," she adds.

"We're proud to once again be recognized by Bloomberg Law by their inclusion of CDF in their DEI Framework report," said Alison Tsao, Partner and Chair of CDF's DEI Committee. "From our recruiting efforts, provision of leadership opportunities, to our strong involvement in DEI efforts in the broader legal community, we work tirelessly to enhance equality and inclusion in our workplace and the legal profession."

Bloomberg Law's DEI Framework was developed in 2021 in collaboration with Bloomberg's Gender-Equality Index team, as well as diversity leads at corporations and U.S.-based law firms. Performance was assessed across more than 85 metrics, each associated with one of the framework's six core pillars.

"The desire to incorporate DEI into the selection process for outside legal services presents a new challenge for the industry, but CDF has distinguished itself as a law firm worthy of consideration," said Joe Breda, President, Bloomberg Law. "Through a demonstrated commitment to DEI, CDF is helping to move the legal industry forward and we recognize their performance by naming them as a member of our 2022 DEI Framework."

CDF continues to make DEI a priority at the firm by participating in the 18-month long certification process for the 2021-2023 cohort of the Midsize Mansfield Rule. Created by the Diversity Lab, the Mansfield Rule is a growing movement to increase diversity in law firm recruitment and promotion practices. It is named after Arabella Mansfield, the first female lawyer in the U.S. It requires law firms to demonstrate year-long progress in increasing diversity in senior recruitment and leadership decisions and consider a minimum of 30 percent diverse candidates for these roles.

Mixed Use Development Utilizes Solar Energy in Hamilton, MA

HAMILTON, Mass. /ScoopCloud/ -- In June 2022, SunBug Solar finished installing a 54.75 kw rooftop solar array on 59 Willow Street in Hamilton Massachusetts, built by Traggorth Companies of Boston, Mass. This mixed-use development helps the town towards achieving a variety of economic and sustainability goals.

The solar installation will offset 64% of electrical usage for the 18 residential apartments (nine of which will be affordable at 80% the area median income) and the 2,400 square foot ground floor that will have retail space, a lobby, fitness center, and office.

The building design meets Passive House standards, which aim to reduce a building's carbon footprint and ultimately require less energy for heating or cooling.

It's also ideally located for walkability and access to public transportation. It is located one block west of Main Street in downtown Hamilton, a two-minute walk to the Hamilton / Wenham Commuter Rail Station, which provides access to Boston's North Station.

Overall, this project greatly helps the town of Hamilton toward achieving several goals named in the 2014 Hamilton-Wenham Village Vision + Action Plan, the 2020 Housing Production Plan, and the Hamilton Master Plan in regards to economic diversity, access to public transportation, and sustainability.

DaVinci Capital Partners Crafts Customized Financial Solutions for Clients Throughout Ventura County

WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- DaVinci Capital Partners offers a different approach to financial planning. Rather than directing clients towards some complicated phone tree via a 1-800 number, the firm consistently applies a personal touch. It offers financial services to clients throughout Ventura County.

Specifically, founder Kushal Shah, CRPC(r) offers:
* Financial planning
* Retirement planning
* Estate planning
* Investment management
* Tax planning

With experience in all of these areas, he helps his clients:
* Preserve their wealth
* Eliminate debt
* Lower their taxes
* Optimize their income

Ultimately, DaVinci Capital Partners believes that if you fail to plan, you essentially plan to fail. That's especially true in the complex financial environment facing individuals and families today. Modern wealth management and savvy investment strategy require regular rebalancing, broad diversification, tax-efficient tactics, and more. Fortunately, by providing clients with a personal advisor, the firm can not only help them develop a plan - but also act on it.

In fact, DaVinci Capital Partners limits its client base so it can offer the highest possible level of customization and care.

From the very beginning, clients can expect individualized service from their personal financial advisor. It all starts with a discovery meeting, during which the advisor both gathers up the necessary information and gets to know the client's unique goals. From there, the advisor analyzes the client's current financial situation and where they want to go. This allows DaVinci Capital to tailor a customized plan.

A bespoke financial plan isn't where DaVinci Capital Partners' services stop, though. The consultant continues to actively work with the client to implement that plan. Through goal setting and progress monitoring, the advisor helps the client move in the desired direction. Consistent monitoring and regular updates are standard components of DaVinci Capital Partners' service.

Typical DaVinci Capital Partners clients have $500,000 or more in assets. The firm is actively seeking new clientele and any interested parties should inquire.

About DaVinci Capital Partners:

Inspired by Da Vinci's mathematical drawing of a person's ideal body proportions, the firm's logo represents the same concept: perfect balance. As it relates to finances, DaVinci Capital Partners believes balance requires a strategy-driven approach to create a strong portfolio and wealth plan. However, they also think experiencing this balance is an essential part of the equation. The firm strives to help clients establish a sense of balance and peace of mind around their finances by serving as their own personal CFO - managing their financial details as they live their life.

LA Metro Partners with Strive Well-Being for Innovative Transit Ambassador Program as Strategy to Improve Customer Experiences, Increase Ridership and Reinforce Public Safety

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) approved a bold initiative to pioneer a multi-year transit ambassador program throughout its bus and rail system. Metro is contracting with Strive, a reputable and experienced wellness and community health partner, to implement and manage a diverse team of transit ambassadors.

Strive will work collaboratively with local community-based organizations to offer a trauma-informed and rider assistance solution. The program is part of Metro's plan to bring non-law enforcement representatives to improve the customer experience, reinforce public safety, and increase ridership on its transit system.

This program is the first of its kind in the region, and will employ 300+ ambassadors from diverse L.A. County neighborhoods. Strive will provide ambassadors trained in unconscious bias identification, trauma-informed response, de-escalation, cultural/situational awareness, customer service, disability awareness, and public safety.

Friendly ambassadors will provide a high-quality customer service experience and orient passengers with general transit information such as directing customers and paying for fares. They will also work closely with community-based crisis intervention teams and be equipped to call dedicated personnel within Metro's public safety ecosystem.

"Our team is very excited to support the Los Angeles community with this innovative and forward-thinking initiative," said Amit Sangani, Strive Well-Being Inc. President. "We look forward to delivering a 'care-first' approach while improving the overall customer experience and reinforcing safety for public transportation in the region."

"Our top priority is to improve the customer experience- including making sure our riders feel safe," said Stephanie Wiggins, Metro CEO. "In the coming months, we expect customers will see a noticeable difference with our transit ambassadors in place. Once they deploy, transit ambassadors will greet riders and help our customers have positive interactions with our system.

"Ambassadors will also work closely with community-based crisis intervention teams and be able to call dedicated safety personnel when needed quickly. Thank you to the Metro Board of Directors for approving this new program; I look forward to its full deployment."

Scientology Volunteer Ministers Honored for Their Service to South Africa

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- For World Humanitarian Day, celebrated annually on August 19, the Church of Scientology honors the Volunteer Ministers of South Africa. At a recent celebration at Kyalami Castle in Midrand, South Africa, officials from across the country joined the Church in thanking the Scientology Volunteer Ministers for their service since the pandemic began. Volunteer Ministers contributed more than a million hours assisting the government and private sector to care for the most vulnerable.

Those attending included the MEC (Member of the Executive Council) for Health of the Social Development Department and officials of the Department of Justice of Gauteng. South African Local Government Association (SALGA) was also on hand, along with National Disaster Management.

The Chief of Police of the Tshwane Metro Police, and Emergency Services of Tshwane, Joburg and Ekurhuleni, representative of Mogale City and many police officers of Gauteng attended as well.

The MEC of Health Gauteng, Dr. Nomathemba Mokgethi, and the MEC of Education, Mr. Panyaza Lesufi, acknowledged two Scientology Volunteer Ministers in particular who were part of the volunteer force since the lockdown began in 2020. They each contributed more than 2,000 hours of service to the community.

Other volunteers awarded contributed at least 100 volunteer hours, many of them between 1,000 and 2,000 hours.

Mr. Freddy Williams of the Tshwane Emergency Services presented a special acknowledgment to the Church of Scientology. The Church organized and coordinated these volunteers to combat the pandemic. Volunteer Minister South Africa spokesperson Sandile Hlayisi accepted the award, crediting Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard for the program, the technology, and the passion to help South Africa.

The Church of Scientology Volunteer Ministers program is a religious social service created in the mid-1970s by L. Ron Hubbard. It constitutes one of the world's largest independent relief forces.

Mr. Hubbard described a 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 Kyalami Castle on New Year's Day 2019, reaffirming the commitment of Mr. Hubbard that "from Southern Africa will spring the next great civilization on this planet."

Seeking Mentors for Children Experiencing Parental Incarceration

AUSTIN, Texas /ScoopCloud/ -- Seedling Foundation, a non-profit organization serving children who have an incarcerated parent, is seeking business partners and individual volunteers to mentor children in Central Texas school districts during the 2022-23 school year. The organization served 472 children last school year and expects to significantly increase the number of children served in local school districts.

Based on research-driven, best practices for mentoring, Seedling trains and supports mentors (each mentor assisted by a professional Seedling Mentor Director) for their work with children who have an incarcerated parent. Mentors and mentees meet weekly during lunch at one of Seedling's 100 public school partners. Seedling works intently to pair volunteers' skills and interests with a child who has similar interests. The average duration of a mentor/mentee match is 24 months, which positively contributes to the students' personal development, resilience, school engagement, attendance, and disciplinary outcomes.

"Mentoring a child in a local public school is one of the most rewarding and impactful volunteer experiences in Central Texas. The reward for both the mentee and volunteer is life changing," said Dan Leal, Seedling Executive Director.

Seedling's mission is to mitigate the impact of parental incarceration on children in Central Texas through school-based mentoring. Seedling matches children with mentors in Austin ISD, Austin Achieve Public Schools, Del Valle ISD, Hays Consolidated ISD, KIPP Public Schools, and Pflugerville ISD. Since 2005, Seedling has served more than 2700 children who have a parent in prison or jail.

There are an estimated 8,000 kids who have a parent in jail or prison in Travis, Hays, Bastrop, and Williamson Counties. No system, including criminal justice and schools, asks the question of whether a child is in need due to parental incarceration. Seedling began mentoring children who have an incarcerated parent at the request of Austin ISD principals to fill a need that often remains hidden due to stigma.

Individuals may visit https://seedlingmentors.org to complete the New Mentor Application or call Seedling at (512) 323-6371 to inquire about an information session for a group. Caregivers who are seeking school-based mentoring for their child in school districts partnering with Seedling should contact the school's counseling department.

About Seedling:

Seedling has provided school-based mentoring for over 2700 Central Texas children impacted by parental incarceration since 2005. Seedling is seeking mentors to serve children during the 2022-23 school year. Seedling is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, Tax ID #74-2841791. Donations are tax deductible.

How A Mortgage Focused Agency Launched to Make Impact

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. /ScoopCloud/ -- In the heart of Indianapolis, Indiana is a marketing agency focused on helping mortgage lenders and technology overcome obstacles, develop marketing strategies, and grow their business. That agency is Art Vs. Math. In 2019, Steven Cooley started Art Vs. Math to help improve marketing in the mortgage industry.

"The mortgage industry continues to struggle developing creative, relevant marketing content, and strategies to set themselves apart from each other," stated Steven Cooley, Art Vs. Math founder.

Cooley, a former marketing executive at Finance of America Holdings, got his start in mortgage as a call center loan officer in their reverse mortgage division. Upon awaiting his mortgage license, he noticed some marketing improvements and was allowed an opportunity to utilize his unique acumen to grow their marketing division. He was promptly promoted to AVP of Digital Marketing and experienced much success, which enabled him to be promoted again to Director of Digital Marketing at Finance of America Holdings.

In April 2019, Cooley fired up Art Vs. Math, and immediately started working with top ten lenders and some of the most notable technology companies in the industry. In conjunction with running the agency, Mortgage Advisor Tools was developed to help mortgage loan officers discover new technology. This effort continues to thrive, and dozens of technology companies are leveraging the platform to expand their marketing reach. Due to their considerable growth came new hire, Marketing Manager Cheyenne Pauley, hailing from Charleston, West Virginia. Cheyenne was a part of the horrific Sprout closure that displaced hundreds of mortgage professionals.

With this new growth, Art Vs. Math developed a new website to help mortgage lenders and technology companies better understand the product offerings. "We had to take a dose of our own medicine and provide a more concise way to define our products and how we can help our industry overcome their challenges.

"2022 has proven that our services and areas of expertise will be essential, and we are excited about the new opportunities," says Cooley. "The new website separates Lenders and Technology, providing nuanced agency/consultancy products that break down their service offerings for each audience. The Core Values product is a workshop that lenders or technology companies can experience to help them define who they are, why they are who they are, and an action plan to reinforce those principles."

He adds, "The company also offers a marketing audit to determine how well a company's marketing works. Lenders of all sizes need a marketing resource that fits their budget and will appreciate taking advantage of the Shared Services product. Shared Services allows Lenders to customize their marketing services to meet their business objectives."

About Art Vs. Math:

Art Vs. Math wants to help the mortgage industry solve its problems. Whether through strategy building, creativity, or one of its product lines, the mortgage industry would be well served to find industry experts to help them accomplish their goals. 2022 has been one of those years; we've seen massive layoffs, closures, and a significant drop in loan volume. There is considerable opportunity to grow your business. "This year is all about market share, says Cooley; whoever stays top of mind the longest will sustain this year and be positioned for hyper-growth." The other way to say it, check out the website header and - Be The Obvious Choice.
