MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. /ScoopCloud/ -- Bravo Protection Products is celebrating an incredible milestone in 2022. An industry leader in the Clear Bra and Paint Protection Film installation business, Bravo is celebrating over 20 years of proudly serving Minneapolis, the western suburbs, and St. Paul.

According to Tommy Prezioso, the owner of Bravo Protection Products, "Our constant focus on innovation and use of the latest available technologies has helped us stay ahead of the curve in Paint Protection Film installation and window tinting. At the same time, we have always focused on providing excellent service to all our clients, building long-lasting customer relationships and loyalty for long-term success."

He further explains, "We are one of the few XPEL-certified film installers in the Twin Cities and one of the country's largest installers of XPEL. We believe in providing the finest products to all our customers. As a top-level Clear Bra installation company in Minneapolis, we apply high-quality XPEL Paint Protection Films to protect your car against damage caused by rocks, gravel, salt, insects, small debris, and other dangers."

Getting complete PPF or Clear Bra coverage for your vehicle can help your car look its best for years. At the same time, it also endows your vehicle with the ability to combat the elements and protect your paint finish from chipping from small rocks or small debris on the road.

Another critical element that sets Bravo apart is its incredible team with over 50 years of experience in the automotive and window tinting industry.

Prezioso explains, "When we talk about Paint Protection Film installation, there's no substitute for experience. My team has perfected our processes using the knowledge and practice gained over decades of PPF installation and window tinting jobs. The level of expertise and the attention to detail that comes with it is hard to find anywhere else."

Apart from its excellent human resources, the company also channels advanced technological tools, including the XPEL DAP or Design Access Program. The program offers a database of over 80,000 patterns from XPEL to apply Clear Bra Paint Protection Film accurately for every car, every time.

Another distinct advantage that distinguishes Bravo Protection Products from the rest is the company's world-class dealer network with certified installers in over 55 countries.

Additionally, the importance of ensuring a positive customer experience is high up on Tom Prezioso's list. He states, "One of the key factors that have been instrumental to our success is our referrals. These arise from a high level of customer satisfaction. At Bravo, we display a strong commitment to the client because we are attentive to our clients' every need. We dedicate ourselves to every job, taking pride in doing business the old-fashioned way."

While Clear Bra or Paint Protection Film installation is the company's primary focus, the company offers an incredibly diverse bouquet of services.

Prezioso adds, "We get extensive work in the automotive sector due to our stellar reputation. Aside from our extensive Clear Bra or Paint Protection Film installation services that help protect your car's exterior paint and maintain its factory sparkle, we are also the top choice for window tinting. Our experts are frequently called to commercial buildings and private residences for specialized window tinting and security window film jobs."

With Bravo Protection Products, you can get XPEL Window Film installed on the windows at your home and office, thereby cutting out nearly 99.9% of the sun's UV rays and reducing heat absorption by up to 80%, saving you a fortune in energy costs. Lower UV exposure further helps reduce the fading of your interiors, including hardwood floors, carpets, furniture, artwork, etc.

Bravo Protection is extremely proud of reaching the milestone of 25 years in business. And we will continue to focus on providing the best products and the best service for the greater Twin Cities area for the next 25 years as well!

Clay Joule Ignites Passion To ‘Fight 4 Freedom’ With New Single ‘O’Dream’

NEW YORK, N.Y. /ScoopCloud/ -- Talented singer-songwriter Clay Joule's and Fight 4 Freedom's latest single "O'Dream," is set to premiere on April 28, 2022 alongside a heartwarming music video. Brought to you by Truwan Records, the single touches on the on-going war taking place in Ukraine and carries themes of peace prevailing through hard times.

With every passing day, the fight for freedom taking place in Ukraine gets more and more intense. Ukrainians all across the country are giving up their lives to protect their human rights against the terror of the Russian army, and their struggle has inspired the world to stand to band together in staunch support of Ukraine.

Singer-songwriter Clay Joule is among those who have been touched watching this incredible struggle. Finding inspiration in wanting to spread support for the Ukrainians dream of peace, Clay Joule is debuting his latest single, "O'Dream," with his label Truwan Records. Featuring the plight of Ukrainians, the song is part of a movement called "Fight 4 Freedom," that the artist hopes will bring more support for Ukraine and their pursuit for justice.

To achieve this, "O'Dream," will be accompanied by a beautiful and raw music video, once again showcasing the Ukrainians' struggle against the Russian threat. Instead of making a show of the violence however, it instead features Ukrainian people, standing together peacefully in hopes of a better future.

This matches perfectly with the song itself, a soaring rock epic with dreamy vocals that hope to push and inspire listeners to show their support for the currently suffering Ukrainians as they dream for peace. It's exactly the type of song that can emotionally push the listener into making a difference. It's also sincere and genuine, which is important when it comes to a song like this.

Both "O'Dream," and its music video are set to debut on the Formosa Joule YouTube channel on April 28, 2022. On top of that, the song and video will also be part of a playlist where Clay Joule plans to release new and original musical videos every week.

As a statement, "O'Dream," is genuine and melodic, truly a show of the peace that the people of Ukraine dream for. To support Ukraine, Clay Joule, "O'Dream," and "Fight 4 Freedom," stay tuned for the single's debut on April 28. Links to the music video and channel can be found below.

O'Dream Music Video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51zqCr8iXOA

In the description of the video, listeners will find links to organizations they can donate to in order to support the Ukrainian people.

Join the Church of Scientology Miami as it Celebrates the Fifth Anniversary in its New Home

MIAMI, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- April 29, 2022 marks the anniversary of the dedication of the new Church of Scientology Miami by Scientology ecclesiastical leader Mr. David Miscavige. The strong sense of community of Miami Scientologists, and their purpose and drive to bring real help, inspired Mayor Tomás Regalado to describe the Church as "an anchor for the community, alive with volunteerism," when he welcomed them to their new home in 2017. And this is a reputation they have more than lived up to throughout the past five years.

Miami, Florida, is a tropical paradise unlike any other. At its heart is a melding of Caribbean, Central and South American cultures creating a unique kaleidoscope of Latin sounds, tastes and rhythms. The Church of Scientology is an integral part of this culture and is dedicated to enhancing the lives of the people who call this city home.

The best way to share the eclectic magic of the Church is to come by to find out more. It is located at 2220 South Dixie Highway in Coconut Grove. But if you live far away, an episode of Destination Scientology provides a glimpse behind the scenes.

Viewers see Miami through the eyes of local parishioners and staff, who share what makes Miami so special, including the city's world-famous beaches, Ocean Drive with its art deco splendor, some of the city's most popular eateries, and its Latin culture.

The Church of Scientology Miami is an Ideal Scientology Organization, configured to service Scientologists in their ascent to spiritual freedom and serve as a home for the entire community - a meeting ground of cooperative effort to uplift people of all denominations.

The Scientology Network debuted in 2018. Since launching, with a special episode featuring Mr. Miscavige, it has been viewed in 240 countries and territories worldwide in 17 languages.

Satisfying the curiosity of people about Scientology, the network takes viewers across six continents, spotlighting the everyday lives of Scientologists, showing the Church as a global organization, and presenting its social betterment programs that have touched the lives of millions worldwide. The network also showcases documentaries by independent filmmakers who represent a cross-section of cultures and faiths, but share a common purpose of uplifting communities.

Broadcast from Scientology Media Productions, the Church's global media center in Los Angeles, the Scientology Network can be streamed at Scientology.tv and is available through satellite television, mobile apps and via the Roku, Amazon Fire and Apple TV platforms.

FRESNO, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Since first opening its doors in 2015, Event Factory Rentals in Fresno has quickly become a go-to company for those in need of restroom accommodations and temp fencing for outdoor events.

Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard and the Magazine Article That Inspired an International Movement

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- 72 years ago, an article in Astounding Science Fiction hit the newsstands in April and set the stage for the explosive launch of "Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health," which rolled out in May.

"Dianetics" sold out immediately, in no small part because of the enthusiasm of those who had read the magazine article and snapped up copies of the book. It was these men and women who helped propel the book onto bestseller lists, where it stayed week after week as news of its results spread.

Some 750 Dianetics groups sprang up across the United States, with more cropping up in English-speaking countries around the world. And many of the original adherents of Dianetics learned of the subject from this magazine article and ordered their copies as soon as the book rolled off the press.

In Melbourne, John Roberts could hardly wait to get his copy of the book. He learned of Dianetics from a fellow he worked with who had read the article. Roberts, a survivor of the notorious Japanese Changi prisoner of war camp in Malaysia, returned home at the end of World War II a shell of the man he was when he left to serve. And he knew it. Roberts read the article at his friend's suggestion and sent off by mail order for two copies of "Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health."

Roberts' daughter, now in her 90s, described how her father read the book cover to cover without putting it down. He and his friend immediately teamed up to deliver this technology to one another. It accomplished everything he'd hoped for and Roberts became an integral part of the movement that brought Dianetics and Scientology to his country.

Some 9,500 miles away from Melbourne, in Peoria, Illinois, George Seidler also learned about Dianetics from a friend. Seidler had served in the war as a medic and earned a Bronze Star Medal for bravery for crawling out of a bunker under fire to pull wounded soldiers to safety.

After the war, Seidler went college, courtesy of the GI Bill, and it was a classmate who told him about Dianetics. But Seidler wasn't interested.

"I was a scientist and a skeptic to end all skeptics," Seidler said in an interview in 2012. "My philosophy was-unless you can see it, feel it, touch it, it isn't worth bothering with."

Seidler challenged his friend, asking him, "How can you believe that stuff?" But he was actually intrigued with the idea of recovering his full potential, not to mention coming to grips with what he experienced during the war. He bought "Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health" and began reading it right away.

On page 2 of the book, Seidler came across something that completely changed his attitude.

"L. Ron Hubbard wrote that Man is basically good," he said. "I always believed that but never found anyone else who shared my views - certainly not in the religions I knew - but here was L. Ron Hubbard saying it. My wife got interested and started reading it too. Before long, we were fighting over whose turn it was with the one book, so I got a second copy."

Seidler was among those trained directly under L. Ron Hubbard in 1950 at the Dianetics Foundation in Los Angeles. And he continued as an ardent Dianeticist and Scientologist for the rest of his life, opening a Scientology Mission to make this technology of the mind, spirit and life available in his hometown in Illinois.

Scientology ecclesiastical leader Mr. David Miscavige describes how later, L. Ron Hubbard published the Astounding Science Fiction article as a book - "Dianetics: The Evolution of a Science." And it is in this book that Mr. Hubbard reveals the research methods by which he discovered the reactive mind - the portion of a person's mind which works on a totally stimulus-response basis and is not under volitional control.

Today, "Dianetics: The Evolution of a Science" and "Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health" are available in 50 languages and anyone may study these books. Courses are available at Scientology Churches, Missions and groups across the globe and can also be done by mail or email through extension courses.

Anyone wishing to explore the revolutionary discoveries of Dianetics is invited to watch three films on the subject: "Dianetics: An Introduction," "The Dianetics of Grief," and "What is Dianetics?"

Produced by Scientology Media Productions, the Church's global media center in Los Angeles, these films are broadcast on the Scientology Network at DIRECTV 320 and can be streamed at Scientology.tv, through satellite television, mobile apps and via the Roku, Amazon Fire and Apple TV platforms.

Soundfly Debuts New Course with Synthwave and Electronic Music Icon Com Truise

BROOKLYN, N.Y. /ScoopCloud/ -- Online music school Soundfly has teamed up with dynamic producer Seth Haley, more popularly known as Com Truise, to release a new course on creating sci-fi-inspired electronic music. "Com Truise: Mid-Fi Synthwave Slow-Motion Funk" is available today as part of Soundfly's premium course subscription program, where students get unlimited access to a full library of creative music courses.

Haley opens up his creative process, starting with the sparks of inspiration he finds in retrofuturistic storylines, like the sweeping android astronaut narrative that's driven many of his albums. And he demonstrates the techniques he uses to pull a track together, building synth patches, sampling retro drum machine sounds, and leveraging '80s production techniques to create music that feels both nostalgic and novel.

Students will look inside the sessions of some of Com Truise's biggest hits, and follow along as he creates a brand new track from scratch. The unreleased song, "Dynetics" is available exclusively to Soundfly subscribers.

The course features more than 30 videos, as well as readings, downloads, stems, and more, and subscribers get access to Soundfly's Slack community of instructors, artists, and experts, where they can ask questions and get feedback on their work.

Heard most recently in his Super Bowl commercial with Coinbase, Com Truise has released three full-length albums, four EPs, and two compilations with famed electronic indie label Ghostly International. He's also done remixes for Daft Punk, Maroon 5, Tycho, deadmau5, and Neon Indian, among others.

"Com Truise's music is full of powerful contradictions - ambient textures with driving beats, vintage synths composing modern-sounding melodies, '80s production techniques but with all the power of the modern DAW," said Soundfly CEO Ian Temple. "The thing I've loved most about seeing inside his process is learning how to create entire worlds with your music, almost like you're making a film rather than a song. I'm so excited for the sounds that our students are going to be able to unlock within themselves after taking the course."

"I've stumbled across so many tutorials on YouTube of people trying to recreate my sounds over the years, and my reaction to that used to be to hold my techniques as closely guarded secrets," said Haley. "But I was never classically trained, and I had to figure out so much of what I do on my own. And so I think it's finally time to pass the torch to anyone who's willing to learn, and I hope other artists are able to take inspiration from the way I make music."

"Com Truise: Mid-Fi Synthwave Slow-Motion Funk" is available now and can be previewed for free at: https://soundfly.com/comtruise

About Soundfly:

Soundfly offers creative courses for curious musicians looking to spark their creativity, expand their skill set, and discover new sounds. Students can subscribe to Soundfly's library of in-depth courses on topics ranging from songwriting to hip-hop production, or take their music learning to the next level with Soundfly's custom mentorship program, pairing students one-on-one with an expert to achieve a personal goal.

Rehashing Reality in Fiction, Canadian Author Releases Satirical, Yet Disturbing, Story of One of Hollywood’s Greatest Scandals

MONTREAL, Quebec /ScoopCloud/ -- Using the story of the rise and fall of a lecherous and uncouth Hollywood mogul, Julian Tryst explores the gripping themes of power, ego, lust, and revenge in his new novel, "Garvey Feinstein: Hollywood Predator" (ISBN: 978-0228869948).

A fictionalized retelling of one of Hollywood's most powerful scandals, Garvey Feinstein follows a man who sought clout and influence to remedy his past frustrations, and who ended up using and abusing those things mainly on members of the opposite sex. The novel was officially released in February 2022, and aims to shed a light on the inner workings of how such abuse occurs.

"To my knowledge, no one has written about this particular man and the movement he engendered, or depicted it in some other fictional way," says author Julian Tryst when asked why he wrote the book. "I think it can appeal to anyone who likes a good rise-and-fall story where the bad guy gets his due in the end. Especially a suspenseful one where there's some romance, jealousy, revenge, and crime involved."

And, while controversial and a bit graphic, "Garvey Feinstein" is already receiving rave reviews. In a five-star review, Reader Views celebrates the novel as "an entertaining tale that clearly reflects what is happening in Hollywood today."

JULIAN TRYST is a fiction author from Canada who likes to observe the messed-up aspects of human nature and make stories out of them. To check out his novels and writings, visit https://juliantryst.com/published/.

"Garvey Feinstein: Hollywood Predator" is now out through Tellwell Publishing (RRP $16) and available through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Indigo and more.

SBA commemorates 20 years of serving large and mid-sized employers’ benefits consulting needs

ATLANTA, Ga. /ScoopCloud/ -- Independent, full-service employee benefits consulting firm Strategic Benefits Advisors, Inc. (SBA) announced the firm is celebrating its 20th anniversary. Since opening its doors in April 2002, SBA has helped organizations in every sector of the North American economy navigate their toughest employee benefits challenges while reducing plan expenses and improving efficiency, compliance and the participant experience.

SBA was founded by industry veterans Mindy Zatto and Andy Adams, whose big-firm experience as benefits consultants and plan administrators for some of the world's largest companies earned them a reputation for innovative thinking and exceptional service. Their work also revealed a market need for a new model of employee benefits consulting that could bridge the all-too-common gap between how benefits plans are designed and how they are administered. With this objective in mind, Zatto and Adams started SBA operating out of their homes.

"From day one, SBA set out to do things differently," said Adams. "Plan sponsors need an advocate in their corner - someone who will help close the gaps in their employee benefits. Having experience with both traditional benefits consulting issues and outsourced plan administration gave us a unique perspective on how to deliver the best and most cost-effective services possible. Twenty years in, it's a calling that still energizes us."

Over the last two decades, SBA has grown from its humble beginnings into an award-winning employer whose team of nearly 30 full-time consultants - including seven credentialed actuaries - is among the industry's most experienced. The firm's clients, which range in size from 1,000 to 300,000 employees and span publicly-traded, private and government organizations, turn to SBA to address complex plan issues with practical solutions and expert support.

In the early days, SBA focused on helping plan sponsors optimize their retirement and retiree health plans through plan design, actuarial services, plan de-risking and third-party administrator management. Today, the firm supports every category of employee benefits, from health and welfare to financial wellness and from rewards and recognition to tuition assistance. SBA's more than two dozen service lines now include defined contribution (DC) compliance; vendor search, implementation, management and recovery; plan governance; outsourced pension administration; specialty call center support; and much more.

"SBA's focus on doing right by our clients and our colleagues has rewarded us with the opportunity to create lifelong relationships, not just business partnerships," said Zatto. "This commitment has been our guidepost for 20 years and will continue to define our business for the next 20 years to come."

About Strategic Benefits Advisors:

Strategic Benefits Advisors, Inc. (SBA) is an independent, full-service employee benefits consulting firm focused on creatively and effectively solving complex benefits issues for clients ranging from 1,000 to over 300,000 employees. Founded in 2002 by veteran consultants Mindy Zatto and Andy Adams, SBA provides practical consulting recommendations and expert implementation of solutions for all types of employee benefits programs, including retirement, health and welfare, financial wellness and employee recognition. With an average of over 25 years in the field, SBA's team of actuaries, consultants and systems specialists is among the most experienced in the industry.

There is a social event being put on Saturday night by Intel and if interested in attended email us.

2022 HousingWire Tech100 Mortgage Award Announces MCT As Leader In Innovation

SAN DIEGO, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Mortgage Capital Trading (MCT®), a leading mortgage hedge advisory and secondary marketing software firm, was announced as a 2022 HousingWire Tech100 Mortgage Winner. The Tech100 Mortgage Award spotlights innovators that are making the housing sector better and more sustainable by increasing efficiency, improving borrower experience and bringing elasticity to mortgage origination and servicing processes. MCT achieved several company milestones throughout the past year by launching and enhancing several technology solutions and services which helped the company earn a spot on the latest Tech100 list.

MCT was measured on the company's key technology, quantifiable metrics and client impact. It's increasingly clear that the winners in today's housing economy have latched onto the concept of sustaining innovation. MCT is listed as one of the companies and solutions demonstrating a new era of innovators that understand the dynamics of the housing industry.

Leveraging MCT's patent-pending Security Spread Commitment, BAM Marketplace facilitates bids between unapproved counterparties, which ensures sellers receive more bids and better execution for their loans than anywhere else in the industry. This functionality is providing sellers unique access to a larger group of buyers and resulting in average pickups of almost 23 BPS over cover bids. This technology is resulting in a revolutionary new era of maximized liquidity, eliminated barriers and optimized execution.

"We are thrilled and delighted to be recognized once again by HousingWire for our contributions to the technological advancement of the mortgage industry," said Curtis Richins, President and CEO of MCT. "It wouldn't have been possible without the dedication and intelligence of our outstanding team members, who are committed to supporting clients in the best ways possible, always striving to push the ball of what a trusted capital markets partner can offer. This award is a testament to the hard work and dedication of all our employees."

This feature has 200+ sellers transacting in the marketplace and $7 billion transacted between marketplace buyers and sellers to date. Sellers on BAM Marketplace are experiencing an average pickup of 36 bps on government production, 26 bps on conventional production, 52 bps on government with FICO under 660, 41 bps with a low loan amount (under $200k) and 59 bps on MFG.

California Safe Schools Celebrates 2022 Earth Day Honorees and 24th Anniversary

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- California Safe Schools (CSS) celebrates 7 honorees for their extraordinary achievements empowering youth and protecting the Earth. "CSS wants to honor our phenomenal 2022 Earth Day Champions. We thank each of them for their enormous and selfless contributions. They all make our world a better place," Robina Suwol, California Safe Schools, executive director, said.

This Spring also marks the 24th anniversary of CSS's commitment to ensuring that all students, teachers, staff, and community members who live near school sites are in a safe, toxic-free environment. CSS continues to work closely with diverse communities and regulatory agencies on toxic issues that impact our life-giving air, water and soil.

CSS achieved national prominence by spearheading the Los Angeles Unified School District's Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Policy, the most stringent pesticide policy in the nation for K-12 public schools. This was the first school district to embrace the "Precautionary Principle" and "Right to Know" in a policy and led to the passage of California's Healthy Schools Act. Today, the LA Unified IPM policy serves as an international model for school districts and communities.

HONOREES:

Tam Doduc

As the appointed Civil Engineer Member on the State Water Resources Control Board, Tam participated in processes to allocate and ensure reasonable use of water rights, provide financial support for water infrastructures and groundwater cleanups, and assure communities have access to safe drinking water. Her 16 years on the board were preceded by her work as Deputy Secretary at the California Environmental Protection Agency where she led the environmental justice and scientific peer review efforts and provided oversight of children's environmental health and environmental education programs.

Deborah Bell-Holt

Deborah's "Love and Respect Youth Foundation" reached out to the needs of thousands of inner city youths in 1994. When she realized this was not enough to solve all the needs she saw before her, Deborah expanded her efforts in the world.

She empowers others to get involved and close-down or clean-up sites that are not favorable to a community. Her fight against drill sites has received worldwide recognition, notably in Paris, France and Switzerland.

Alanna Butterworth

Alanna taught elementary school for 30 years in the Sacramento City Unified School District. She was proactive in fully integrating a local community garden into the school curriculum by developing composting practices with cafeteria food, using the resulting nutrient-dense soil to grow vegetables, and harvesting them for classroom cooking projects. The care of the garden and abundance of fruits and vegetables brought deeply meaningful connections to students who experienced the gifts of nature and attained lifelong knowledge of healthy foods.

Marta and Bob Takano

Bob Takano is a highly respected weightlifting coach who was inducted into the USA Weightlifting Hall of Fame in 2007 for his contributions to coaching. He has been the coach of four national champions, two national record holders, and 27 top ten nationally ranked lifters. Bob has been on the coaching staffs of 17 U.S. National teams to international competitions, five of those being World Championships and the Summer Olympics. His lifters have competed in seven Olympic Trials with one, Albert Hood, the third American to snatch double bodyweight, earning a berth on the 1984 team. Bob continues to produce more record-breaking athletes as owner of his own gym, Takano Weightlifting.

While Bob is involved in his work, Marta is doing some heavy weightlifting of her own as a pet therapist and rescuing dogs. As a volunteer at Northridge Hospital and Kaiser Medical Center, Marta discovered how powerful pet therapy was in healing patients and helped train many other handlers. Her love for golden retrievers led her to be part of the Southern California Golden Retriever Rescue that has developed a special program to ensure these traumatized dogs are placed in stable, forever homes. Marta's breadth of experience and compassion are essential in the critical reception of rescue dogs arriving on flights from Korea and Mexico. Both Marta and Bob view this as an opportunity to provide immediate care and solace to an even greater number of dogs in need of rescue. Along with their bountiful garden, they have created a healing environment for the rescue dogs they personally foster until a loving home is found.

Devon Jasiukonis

As president of his middle school in Hollywood, Devon's first project was to initiate a Green Committee. He joins other concerned students and team leaders to facilitate weekly activities to create awareness such as making posters. Topics have included how to reduce, reuse and recycle, earthworm composting, planting milkweed for monarch butterflies, harvesting and storing seeds, and the benefits of farmer's markets for a healthier lifestyle support of local businesses. Devon's newest goal is to reduce single-use water bottles with the installation of filtered drinking water stations at school. This will encourage students and staff to change to reusable bottles that they'll be able to easily refill and it establishes healthy habits while eliminating the impact of plastic.

Martina Rangel-Ortega

Martina has been a force for positive change in her community on issues such as access to healthy food, clean air and water, transportation services and keeping warehouses from being built near residential homes and schools. Martina currently serves as the Secretary for Ontario-Montaclair School District Community Advisory Committee (CAC) whose purpose is to improve and promote communication between schools, parents and public agencies, increase community awareness, and facilitate parent education and support. Martina's passion has been helping special needs children. She has become a trusted advocate between the school district and parents and coordinates many unforgettable activities for families.

All the honorees received awards designed by masterful artist Michael Bruza and engraved by Anderson Trophy.

Singer-Songwriter Sydney Sherrill Raises Thousands for Nonprofit with Release of ‘Vice’

DALLAS, Texas /ScoopCloud/ -- Sydney Sherrill, 17-year-old emerging pop artist, premieres live performance video for new single "Vice" and announces $5,000 raised during the performance for Shatterproof, a national non-profit determined to end the stigma of addiction in the U.S.

"Vice" is the second release from Sydney Sherrill who hails from Dallas, TX. The song was written by Sydney, and recorded at the legendary Blackbird Studios in Nashville, TN. It was produced by Kim Wood Sandusky (vocal producer for Beyonce), who says of Sydney, "It's rare to see this depth and tone in a voice so young. I can't wait to see where this talent takes her."

The song was inspired by Sydney's older brother who struggled with addiction; she wrote it to help her understand and empathize with his experience of substance use disorder. In the lyrics, she symbolizes the similarities between someone trapped in a toxic relationship to a similarly addictive connection between a person and a substance.

On the heels of the song's release, Sydney performed "Vice" to a packed audience at The Echo Lounge & Music Hall in Dallas. She raised her $5,000 contribution for Shatterproof at this show, and Sydney, along with her brother, are continuing their work with the organization.

"We applaud Sydney for using her talent to make a difference and we are so grateful for her generosity," shared Kirsten Seckler, Chief Marketing & Communications Officer for Shatterproof. "There is so much silence when it comes to substance use disorder. Whether it be shame or fear, the stigma felt by those impacted by addiction can be deadly. Sydney is a shining example of how everyone can shine a light on this major public health crisis and use their voice to make change."

"Vice" has been featured on Spotify on the Pop Rising playlist. Music blog Authentic Audio says of the song, "The combination of earnest songwriting, confident vocal delivery and powerful melodic instrumentation on this song renders it undeniably memorable and captivating with a lot of potential and promise." Similarly, music outlet Tinnitist spoke just as highly about the song saying, "The melody is strong and the hooks are sharp and memorable. Everything is well-written, expertly produced and creatively executed."

Musicians on the record include renowned session players: Grammy-nominated James Mitchell on guitar (Willie Nelson), Dan Needham on drums (Garth Brooks, Nick Jonas, Michael W. Smith, et al.), Duncan Mullins on bass (Crystal Gayle, Amy Grant), and Buddy Hyatt on keyboard (from the group TOTO).

Sydney's music meshes the country-pop styling and narratives of Taylor Swift with the rock sound and energy of Lady Gaga. She writes all of her own songs and has been collaborating with A-list producers and musicians in Nashville who have worked on Grammy-nominated artists like Beyonce, Nick Jonas, Garth Brooks & Willie Nelson. Sydney will be releasing a new single in the near future.

Chef Dominic shares, "After the blows of a powerful pandemic, it's time to get our feet back into restaurants, and of course travel destinations."

Chef Dominic is bringing discount travel to Las Vegas. The big difference that Chef Dominic is introducing to the Vegas traveler, is wholesale prices; with up to 65% off of hotel rooms, up to 35% off of cruises, and the use of unlimited time share weeks without the necessity of having to own the timeshare.

In a recent interview, the Chef discussed how his passion for food, people, and travel have been his utmost trifecta of priority. With all of the current travel inflation that is affecting so many traveling families, business travelers, group organizations, Dominic felt this timing is "spot on," especially for discount travel.

The result is an Open Invitation to his restaurant for free dinner, Unique Eats, in Las Vegas to view what most would consider hugely significant travel discounts. Chef Dominic will be providing all of his free dinner guests with free use of the Discount Travel website for 2 weeks to readily identify the savings that can be obtained. Chef Dominic will also be giving door prizes, and a free 4-night, 5-day trip to Paradisus Resort, Playa del Carmen, Mexico. This trip for 2 will be given away, after the free dinner at his restaurant.

Chef Dominic says, "I believe in bringing resources to the people. Las Vegas is my home and my family."

Strange & The Familiars Create A Mesmerizing Trip Into The Bizarre With New Video ‘Agent Strange!’

PORTLAND, Ore. /ScoopCloud/ -- After successfully teaming up in 2021 to create the grim & gritty video for the title-track "Pretty Deadly" from their debut EP, it was a foregone conclusion that the right person to take on the brand-new single by Strange & The Familiars this year, would once again be none other than Jordan Henline of 88.8 Films.

With an otherworldly concept shot in the heart of Portland in the Pacific Northwest, "Agent Strange" is a bold introduction to the persona of Stephanie Strange, an "impartial observer" tasked with documenting the bizarre events & people of planet Earth. Attempting to uncover the details of her own origin story while witnessing the shocking horrors of extremely real issues faced in daily human life - what Strange has absorbed has warped the mechanics of her mind, rendering her into an unreliable narrator whose perspective is askew and untethered to any kind of recognizable reality that would provide any comfort.

She hears voices, she both sees & talks with ghosts, she finds solace in nature, and is genuinely mortified by the way humanity abuses such beauty without sparing a second thought towards the impact of global warming, social inequities, or the pure butchery of Earth's uniquely special, yet finite, natural resources. Dancing as the world is ending and the atmosphere is closing in, Strange & The Familiars take viewers & listeners on a final tour of a dying planet, done in by its own erratic indifferences & callous carelessness.

From mythical & magical forest scenes & imagery laden with the true majesty of nature, to the furthest reaches of outer space & aliens monitoring our every move "Agent Strange" is as insightfully artistic & compelling as it is authentically fun & entertaining. With the X-factor talents & soulful vocals of Strange alongside the exquisite instrumentation and musicianship of The Familiars, combined with the visionary expertise of Jordan's direction & the proud support of the entire 88.8 Films crew - "Agent Strange" has become a groundbreaking video & single capable of taking them all straight to the next-level & beyond.

"Agent Strange" is the lead cut & gateway into the new album Strange World by Strange & The Familiars - it's a wildly unforgettable experience & officially available on every major music platform online now!
