National Buyers Agents Association Releases One-Minute Videos on 2022 Home Buying

EVERGREEN, Colo. /ScoopCloud/ -- The National Buyers Agents Association just released a series of 1-minute videos on new approaches to home buying in 2022. Each video focusses on a state and the home buying trends of the major cities within that state.

The videos may be found on the association's YouTube channel and in the blog section of the association's educational website, https://BuyerAgentSearch.com.

The National Buyers Agents Association saw a need for this resource because it receives many calls per day from home buyers who are considering much bigger areas to buy than in previous years due to the housing shortage. Some buyers are even considering different states in order to find inventory that is within their budgets. The objective is to give prospective home buyers a very quick and accurate view of the 2022 housing markets throughout the United States.

The series starts out with Pennsylvania, Florida, and Texas videos. Each state's video reveals median housing prices and square footage costs for the state. This section of the videos provides a quick comparison of the housing prices of major cities within that state with year-over-year trends.

The 2022 video list on the blog page at the association's website and also in YouTube, begins off with a super-short video, entitled "5 Critical Home Buying Decisions." This starter video provides a time-efficient and easy way for potential home buyers to focus on essential decisions when first considering buying, including the most basic one of "Is now a good time to buy or not?" Many buyers are considering waiting it out, while others have decided to go for it because prices do not appear to be going down any time soon.

Once a decision is made, buyers are asked to focus on "What makes an ideal property?", followed by a hard look at what are their must-haves verses preferences.

The YouTube channel includes dozens of other videos, including a video from some first-time homebuyers about their experiences working with an exclusive buyer's agent. There are also many interviews of buyer's agents who are members of the association with their unique perspectives on local markets. The channel also has a few entertaining animations, including a scene with alligators. The buyers are trapped in the confusing maze of the home-buying process that is dominated by hidden traps of real estate industry profit motives.

In addition to videos, the Buyer Agent Search website provides blogs, and consumer radio show excerpts that help real estate consumers understand behind-the-scenes processes that will enable them to successfully navigate their purchase. The association connects consumers to a network of exclusive, accredited, and highly-rated agents. Real estate agents are typically paid a commission covered in the seller's listing agreement through the proceeds in the sale at closing. Therefore, the real estate buyer or seller does not have upfront costs when engaging an agent.

On the association's website, the podcast section features a Consumer's Real Estate Show. The association manager, Kathleen Chiras, along with the hosts Barry Miller and Larry Stanley, discuss real estate as advocates for consumers. They do not hesitate to criticize the industry.

The show examines such questions as "Is the real estate consumer being offered fair and flexible commissions?" and "Is a well-done Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) being done for both buyers and sellers every 2 weeks?" The host of the show recommends getting new CMAs prepared by the agent every 2 weeks because of rapidly changing market conditions. Miller calls it a "Changing Market Analysis."

Buyer agents have a wealth of knowledge and negotiation skills. They provide a comprehensive overview of the market including the current status of properties for sale and a micro view of neighborhood trends.

The National Buyers Agents Association uses independent research, rankings and consumer reviews to provide a free list of recommended, reputable agents. Association staff do specific research to vet agents in rural as well as urban areas.

The association includes over 1400 licensees nationwide, and its members cover all major cities and US towns. A list of at least two agent choices for specific geographical areas of interest is provided to consumers at no cost or obligation. Suggested agents are likely to also be members of the National Association of REALTORS and their local board of REALTORS. This membership and enables them to have access to local multiple listing services with the most current property information. Good agents are also in tune with for-sale-by-owner portals and "coming soon" properties.

The association and its video channel, blogs and podcasts are managed by Kathleen Chiras, a licensed real estate broker with over 25 years of experience. Chiras says, "We are all about empowering the real estate buyers and sellers with insider education not found elsewhere on the web. Our goal is to educate home buyers and sellers. We want consumers to have access to top real estate agents and the tools to choose the best." A list of in-depth interview questions are provided to each person who contacts the association to help them know exactly how the agent will work for them. Chiras concludes that it makes sense to start early. "There are no out-of-pocket costs for choosing an agent even 6 months before the projected move-in date."

By extending the service to short 1-minute educational videos, the National Buyers Agent Association continues to provide many timely and important resources for home buyers. Free consultations with headquarters staff are also available 7 days a week by calling 800-383-7188.

Face of Jules in Los Angeles Provides Revolutionary New Ionix Light Facial Treatment

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Los Angeles-based Skin Care Clinic, Face of Jules, introduces the new Ionix Light Facial Treatment! This revolutionary new system incorporates five treatment modalities in one device, providing a total facial rejuvenation experience. The applications include diamond abrasion, oxygen therapy, ultrasound, microcurrent stimulation and light/oxygen therapy. This powerful combination of treatments works to improve skin tone and texture, reduce wrinkles and lines, and give people a youthful, radiant complexion. Contact us today to schedule your Ionix Light Facial Treatment!

What is the Ionix Facial?

This advanced facial is all about glow, lift, and relaxation. It rebuilds skin by incorporating multiple non-invasive skin care innovations. It's an upgraded version of the well-known Oxylight Facial loved by celebrities. It utilizes full spectrum LED Light with Negative Ion Therapy, Oxygen Therapy, Microdermabrasion, Microcurrent, Radio Frequency, and Ultrasound for immediate and cumulative results. Targets all the signs of aging without discomfort or recovery time. It improves muscle tone, reduces puffiness, increases cellular activity, and stimulates one's own collagen production. It's great for general radiance and for everyone experiencing loss of firmness and dullness in the skin.

The overall result is healthier, firmer and younger looking skin. Brighter, smoother skin is obvious from the very first treatment but the results are progressive. Clients will notice more corrections with each treatment. Depending on the desired results we recommend a series of 6 to 8 consecutive treatments two weeks apart. This facial does not include extractions.

Diamond Abrasion

The diamond abrasion application uses a small, hand-held device to gently sand the top layer of skin cells away. This exfoliation process removes dead skin cells and reveals the healthy, youthful skin beneath.

Oxygen Therapy

Oxygen therapy is a treatment that delivers oxygen and nutrients to the skin cells, promoting cell turnover and collagen production. This treatment helps to improve skin tone and texture, reduce wrinkles and lines, and give clients a youthful, radiant complexion.

Ultrasound

The ultrasound application uses sound waves to penetrate the skin and promote collagen production.

Microcurrent Stimulation

The microcurrent stimulation application uses a low-level current to stimulate the muscles and improve skin tone and texture.

Light/Oxygen Therapy

The light/oxygen therapy application uses light energy and oxygen to penetrate the skin and promote collagen production.

Scottsdale Mayor Ortega Welcomes Minority Business Accelerator participants during Spring kickoff event

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. /ScoopCloud/ -- With a welcome from Scottsdale Mayor David Ortega and President of the Black Chamber of Commerce Arizona Robin Reed, the Minority Business Accelerator Program, in collaboration with the Millionaire Mastermind Academy, kicked off on March 8, welcoming more than 40 women-owned small businesses, Thinkzilla Consulting Group announced today.

The 2022 program is sponsored by American Landmark; one of the fastest-growing multifamily owner-operators in the United States and Blaylock Van, LLC, the oldest and continuously operating African American-owned banking firm in the United States.

With a focus on minority business growth, the Millionaire Mastermind Academy has already helped more than 7,000 women across the country conquer poverty through entrepreneurship. With a forward-focused mission of developing economic growth initiatives for minority- and women-owned businesses to encourage job creation and business expansion, the organization focuses its work in the Arizona, Florida, and Georgia markets. A $500,000 scholarship fund for the program was launched by Dr. Velma Trayham in February to help small businesses owned by African American women.

"While Arizona continues to grow its commitment to diverse business ownership, institutional barriers to success such as lack of access to capital and access to quality business training are still a reality. That's what we're here to change," said Thinkzilla Consulting Group founder Dr. Velma Trayham. "This unique program invites more voices to the table and more support in developing and realizing entrepreneurial goals."

While Arizona is home to more than 600,000 small businesses, only about 11 percent are helmed by racial minorities, according to the Arizona Small Business Economic Profile.

The 15-week Minority Business Accelerator engages entrepreneurs with a proprietary curriculum, including startup tools, access to a diverse local and national mentor network, funding opportunities to rapidly grow and scale operations, and support in learning how to do business with the government and corporations. The economic goals of the program include supporting the launch of more than 500 new companies while empowering a minimum of 50,000 entrepreneurs.

Program participants represent industries including counseling and mental health, consulting, spa/beauty, IT, restaurants, and education, among others.

Church of Scientology Tampa Brings the Best of Today and the Past Together Under One Roof

TAMPA, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- Dedicated March 13, 2011, in honor of the birthday of Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard, the home of the Church of Scientology Tampa is a complex known as Ybor Square. More than a treasured cultural landmark, the building evokes an entire way of life.

As in many communities, the Church of Scientology of Tampa is housed in one of the city's most iconic buildings. Ybor Square is a National Historic Landmark, built in Ybor City, now a neighborhood in Tampa, in the late 1880s by city father Vincente Ybor. It was once the largest cigar factory in the world.

An episode of Destination Scientology on the Scientology Network shows how the Church carried out meticulous research and restored all historical elements of its new home. The Church holds the building in trust for the entire community, contributing to the pride and sense of continuity of Cuban-Americans.

This episode of Destination Scientology takes viewers inside the Church-a popular location on historical tours of the city.

And it shows how Tampa Scientologists:

* Work with community partners to eradicate drug abuse

* Raise awareness of human trafficking to protect victims in a region notorious for abuse

* And respond to natural and manmade disasters, making it clear how they earned and continue to merit the title of "Hurricane Heroes."

Scientology ecclesiastical leader Mr. David Miscavige dedicated the 88,000-square-foot Church, located just a half-hour from Clearwater. As such, it serves as a model for thousands of Scientologists arriving at the religion's international spiritual headquarters each week from across the globe. Here they can see just how much a local Church of Scientology can accomplish.

Destination: Scientology is an original series on the Scientology Network. Each episode brings the viewer inside a Church of Scientology, showcasing the diversity of our Churches and the cooperation that weaves every Church of Scientology into the local community fabric.

Since launching, the Scientology Network has been viewed in 240 countries and territories worldwide in 17 languages. Broadcast from Scientology Media Productions, the Church's global media center in Los Angeles, the Scientology Network is available on DIRECTV Channel 320 and can be streamed on Scientology.tv, on mobile apps, and via the Roku, Amazon Fire and Apple TV platforms.

Athanasian Hall Spotlights Fellow Dr. Fidelis Mukudi’s Work in Functional Analysis and Nanotechnology

OXFORD, U.K. /ScoopCloud/ -- Athanasian Hall, a research center headquartered in the UK, announces Fellow Dr. Fidelis Mukudi's upcoming presentations in Analysis and Nanotechnology in Rome and Dubai. Dr. Fidelis Mukudi received a Ph. D. in Functional Analysis from Kibabii University, having performed extensive research on the theory of Self-Adjoint Operators.

As a postgraduate student of outstanding promise, Dr. Mukudi already explored the frontiers of Functional Analysis, Complex Analysis, and the "Theory of Operators". In April 2022, he will deliver an address in Dubai on polynomials arising in unbounded operators defined in Hilbert Spaces.

In October, he will present novel results on the spectral properties of commutants of unbounded self-adjoint operators with simple spectra in Rome at the International Conference on Present Advances in Pure and Applied Mathematics.

According to Dr. Jonathan Kenigson, the acting Don of Athanasian Hall, Cambridge LTD, "The study of Hilbert spaces and the operators defined upon them represent a nontrivial component of modern mathematical physics. These results...often find application in the Quantum realm, where results on Operator Algebras often have corollaries in Field Theory, Information Uncertainty, and Nanotechnology. Dr. Mukudi has substantial promise as a research scholar in Functional Analysis because of his ability to think about interdisciplinary topics from the unifying perspective of Linear Analysis."

Athanasian Hall, Cambridge LTD is an independent think-tank devoted to interdisciplinary research in the Quadrivium in its most modern expressions.

According to Dr. Kenigson, "We are a pure research institute independent of the University of Cambridge. Our scholars are encouraged, but not required, to pursue affiliation with scientific bodies in the city or with university institutes. With respect to Dr. Mukudi...we will nominate him for the greatest possible support we can offer to early-career researchers. He exemplifies the best characteristics of the Liberal Arts tradition while remaining superbly qualified in all areas of modern pure mathematics. Our scholars have a great deal of latitude to choose their courses of research and can freely change university affiliation without losing the support of our faculty, which is international."

Dr. Mukudi is receptive to requests for funded postdoctoral fellowships and similar support at top institutes. According to Kenigson, "Investment in such work is of broad benefit to society even if its applications are not known in advance. Esoteric mathematics often becomes the main component of new physical and economic theories that influence the lives of millions of people."

ViewTech’s Video Borescopes Utilized for Inspecting Balconies and Elevated Structures

SACRAMENTO, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- In response to the 2015 deck collapse in Berkeley which caused six fatalities, California legislation signed into law SB 721 and SB 326 requiring periodic inspections of exterior elevated elements (EEE) that structurally rely on wood or wood-based materials, says ViewTech Borescopes.

California Senate Bill 721 relates to apartment complexes with more than three units, while senate bill 326 pertains to condominiums or multi-family housing controlled by residential homeowners' associations (HOAs).

Any entry, decks, porches, stairways, walkways, and other entry structure that are elevated more than six feet above ground level must be checked for cracks, rotting, insect damage, rusted fasteners or connectors, and mold or mildew exposure.

There are many methods, techniques, and types of equipment that can be utilized during these necessary evaluations of EEE, including visual inspection, infrared thermography, destructive testing, and video borescopes. With initial safety investigations needing to be completed by January 1, 2025, ViewTech Borescopes has a multitude of clients that own VJ-3 Far Focus video borescopes specifically for these inspections.

When completing inspections, licensed structural engineers, architects, contractors, or certified building inspectors drill a series of holes through materials and use a ViewTech VJ-3 video borescope to take photos and videos to assist with necessary reports, including photographs of any damage found. ViewTech Borescopes no-cost, no-demo program is available to trial by professionals completing SB 721 or SB 326 inspections.

About ViewTech Borescopes

ViewTech Borescopes, founded as RF System Lab in 2008, is North America's #1 seller of video borescopes. Their first product, the VJ borescope, set a new standard for portability, ergonomics and ease-of-use, with its industry-first mechanical, joystick-controlled articulation.

The Flowery Hires Executive Team That Oversaw One Plant’s Exit

MIAMI, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- The Flowery, a Florida-based medical marijuana company and cannabis producer, announced today four new additions to its executive leadership team: Mike Smuts as Chief Operating Officer (COO), Brian Roberts as Director of Cultivation, Harry Rosenfeld as Chief Financial Officer (CFO), and Kevin Szymanski as Director of Supply Chain and Logistics.

These four executives were formerly part of the key group that oversaw One Plant's operations and ultimate sale to Cresco Labs for 213MM in 2021. This power move by The Flowery further reinforces the company's vision and commitment to become the standard for quality products and the State's sweetheart brand.

"Mike, Brian, Harry, and Kevin are accomplished and passionate industry veterans with exceptional track records of success that will accelerate the company's growth as a quality and culture leader in the Florida market. We couldn't be happier to have them on board. We have some very big plans brewing and we are building the absolute 'A' team to execute it," said The Flowery's CEO, Elad Kohen.

"I couldn't be more stoked (or grateful) to join a team whose driving force is rooted in high grade ganja and authentic cannabis culture as The Flowery," said Mike Smuts, COO. "The market has yet to see a company that truly delivers top shelf product as well as a cohesive and authentic experience in both their digital and brick and mortar client experience. Our commitment to quality over everything, genetics with real provenance, and our exclusive partnerships with the country's top brands will make the flowery the premier cannabis destination in the sunshine state."

With over 12 years of experience in cannabis vertical operations in single and multistate markets, Mike Smuts has learned a great deal. Among his accomplishments was establishing Denver's first downtown retail locations and establishing some of Florida's first MMTCs, which are now some of the top cannabis companies in the state. The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services also appointed Mike to its Medical Marijuana Committee in 2019.

Roberts, another veteran in the cannabis industry, started his journey in 2004, learning everything he could about cultivation from several mentors and popular forums at the time. Along the way, Brian developed a deep passion, experience and the required technical attention to detail required to grow world class cultivars. In 2018, Brian made the move and joined the Florida medical program.

Rosenfeld brings 36 years of forensic accounting experience to the team. He has worked for both public and private companies. He played a key role in taking Burger King and Bluma Wellness public. Szymanski brings 30+ plus years of experience, having previously worked at companies including UPS, FedEx, Coca-Cola, among others. He was also part of the team that built One Plant Florida, now Cresco Labs. Having his expertise on board will help push The Flowery's processing to a world-class level. It will also allow the company to expand its delivery operation.

About The Flowery

The Flowery is a privately-owned Medical Cannabis Company, focused on cultivating only indoor, premium quality, small-batch cannabis and exotic cultivars. The Flowery aims to set a new standard for quality products, partnered with a collection of world-renowned cult brands and a customer experience rooted in the culture and lifestyle of cannabis and Florida.

2022 Americas Summit will take place in Miami in July 2022 in partnership with the General Secretariat of the Organization of American States (GS/OAS)

NEW YORK, N.Y. /ScoopCloud/ -- Concordia has announced that it will hold its 2022 Americas Summit in Miami, Florida in July, 2022. The Concordia Americas Summit was originally scheduled to take place alongside the Ninth Summit of the Americas in June in Los Angeles, California.

Concordia, in close consultation with its partner, the General Secretariat of the Organization of American States (GS/OAS), made this shift in timing to complement and support their critical agenda and resulting work of the Summit of the Americas. Concordia looks forward to hosting this important follow-on event, continuing to contribute to the conversation and creating impactful partnerships.

The Concordia Americas initiative began in 2016, with its inaugural Summit in Miami, Florida, and subsequent convenings in Bogotá, Colombia, gathering leaders from the public, nonprofit and private sectors.

The 2022 Concordia Americas Summit represents a unique opportunity to connect key stakeholders and envision new public-private social impact initiatives to benefit the people of our Hemisphere.

"Since 2016, the Americas have been a focal point for Concordia with the establishment of the Concordia Americas Initiative. The 2022 Americas Summit will gather a powerful roster of speakers, including world renowned political leaders, business innovators, global non-governmental representatives, and impressive young minds to tackle some of the toughest issues facing the Western Hemisphere. The GS/OAS has been a key ally for Concordia in the region and we're thrilled to support their agenda in the Summit of the Americas," said Matthew Swift, Co-founder & CEO, Concordia.

Celebrating L. Ron Hubbard’s Birthday and the 70th Anniversary of the Scientology Religion

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Millions across the globe celebrate March 13, L. Ron Hubbard's birthday, to honor the man who has touched their lives in countless ways. This year marks the 70th anniversary of Scientology, the world's youngest major religion, adding another dimension to the celebration.

L. Ron Hubbard once remarked that there are only two tests of a life well lived: "Did he do what he intended?" and "Were people glad he lived?"

He also believed that "wisdom is meant for anyone who wishes to reach for it. It is the servant of the commoner and king alike and should never be regarded with awe."

He shared the knowledge he discovered, recording his research in more than 10,000 authored works and the 3,000 recorded lectures of Dianetics and Scientology.

And while Scientologists the world over honor his legacy with celebrations in Scientology Churches and Missions, many millions more recognize him for the humanitarian initiatives derived from his work.

L. Ron Hubbard's common-sense moral code, The Way to Happiness, transformed a poverty-stricken African village. That same booklet helped forge peace between warring gangs in the streets of South Central Los Angeles. And it has reduced recidivism among the most hardened criminals throughout Mexico.

Teachers in Nigeria remember L. Ron Hubbard for the technology of study that has given them the tools to salvage entire generations.

And officials, religious leaders and entire towns and cities across South Africa know him as the man who inspired the Scientology Volunteer Ministers who have empowered a movement throughout the country with Scientology Tools for Life training.

L. Ron Hubbard earned the Publishers Weekly Century Award for the book Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health. The magazine describes it as "perhaps the best-selling non-Christian book of all time in the West."

Smithsonian magazine lists L. Ron Hubbard among the 11 most influential religious figures in American history and one of the 100 most significant Americans of all time.

To learn more about L. Ron Hubbard and the religion he founded, visit the Scientology Network.

Several of L. Ron Hubbard's books on film are available:

The Problems of Work: Scientology Applied to the Workaday World, The Way to Happiness, and Scientology: The Fundamentals of Thought.

And the series L. Ron Hubbard Library Presents includes filmed versions of some of his most popular essays and articles including "My Philosophy," "What is Greatness?" and "The Aims of Scientology."

Winner of two Aurora Platinum Best of Show awards, this series illustrates L. Ron Hubbard's key observations and groundbreaking discoveries into the mind, spirit and life.

The Scientology Network debuted March 12, 2018, in honor of L. Ron Hubbard's birthday.

Since launching with a special episode featuring Scientology ecclesiastical leader Mr. David Miscavige, the Scientology Network has been viewed in 240 countries and territories worldwide in 17 languages.

Broadcast from Scientology Media Productions, the Church's global media center in Los Angeles, the Scientology Network is available on DIRECTV Channel 320 and can be streamed on Scientology.tv, on mobile apps, and via the Roku, Amazon Fire and Apple TV platforms.

Amplify-Now and Asteri Partners combine forces to drive client transformation outcomes

REDONDO BEACH, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Amplify-Now, a leading global provider of Strategy Execution Management (SEM) software, and Asteri Partners, a North American advisory and analytics firm, are excited to announce a new partnership that will help companies deliver complex, transformational change.

Companies face many challenges and obstacles when it comes to achieving strategic goals and this is well documented. Studies show that around 80 percent of transformation programs fail to meet financial targets. Key challenges cited include aligning program team members and stakeholders, understanding the linkage between tasks and outcomes, monitoring performance in a timely manner and understanding accountability for key benefits and milestones.

The partnership addresses these challenges by aligning Amplify-Now's world-class SEM software with Asteri Partners' deep expertise to build better and more resilient companies. Asteri Partners will leverage Amplify's SEM software for enhanced program visibility and accountability with a sharp focus on business objectives: delivering better, faster and cheaper outcomes for their clients.

"Value creation is simple, but not easy. Time and time again, we see our clients struggle to execute their ambitions because they lack appropriate program management and value creation tracking tools and governance," Nicolas Mialaret, partner at Asteri Partners, says. "Program execution is too often managed separately from value capture - when one drives the other."

So, keeping up-to-date with inevitable changes to plans, and reflecting how these changes affect value creation timelines, becomes a huge effort.

"Amplify's software is a godsend to minimize costly program management overhead, and to streamline effort and collaboration," Mialaret adds. "We're proud to partner with Amplify as we've seen first-hand the value they bring to our clients."

Matt Williams, executive director and founder of Amplify-Now says, "Asteri Partners helps us to maximize the value that Amplify can deliver to our customers. Organizations require the right governance structure and well-developed processes and systems, and that is where Asteri Partners excels."

Williams adds that Mialaret is an expert in the transformational change field.

"We're confident that this partnership will drive improved transformation outcomes for firms across North America," Williams says.

About Amplify-Now

Amplify-Now's SEM software enables organizations to execute strategies that create business value for their customers and investors. The software supports transformation programs from end-to-end, supporting portfolio planning through value realization.

Amplify-Now has offered Benefits Realization and SEM software since 2013. Headquartered in Adelaide, Australia, Amplify-Now has offices in Los Angeles, USA and London, UK to support a global roster of corporate and consulting clients.

Lincoln County Voters Triumph as Board of Elections Scraps Plans to Close 7 Polling Locations

LINCOLNTON, Ga. /ScoopCloud/ -- After several attempts by the Lincoln County Board of Elections to reduce the number of polling places in Lincoln County Georgia, the Georgia Coalition for the People's Agenda and other voting rights groups were elated that the voice of the voters was heard and their efforts to stop the board from closing seven locations to create one was successful.

Rev. Denise Freeman, a local civil and human rights activist who led the efforts to collect signatures from voters on two separate petitions said, "Ï would love to be able to celebrate the hard work of Lincoln County voters to stop the board from consolidating seven polling locations into one but I can't. There's still work to do to make sure that every eligible voter in Lincoln County is able to cast a ballot that counts in the upcoming Midterm Elections."

The Lincoln County Board of Elections voted 3-0 against closing polling places on Wednesday.

Helen Butler, executive director of the Georgia Coalition for the People's Agenda said, "The voters made sure their voices were heard. They knocked on doors and collected the required signatures for the petition to stop the plan to reduce the polling places to one. Needless to say, the board pivoted and announced an alternative plan to reduce the locations to three, nullifying the petition."

Talking to a group of about 300 women attending the Black Women's Roundtable National Summit in Washington, DC Butler continues, "They were playing games with the peoples' right to vote. But, in less than a week we were able to assist the Lincoln County voters in collecting signatures to stop the second plan, and we were ready to go a third time but the board decided to keep seven polling locations. This is indicative of power voters have by being engaged in the process. The people spoke and elected officials had to listen."

The petition presented with the requisite names in December reads, "We, the undersigned Lincoln County registered voters do hereby object to a proposal by the Lincoln County Board of Elections to close our current polling locations and to create a single polling location for all Lincoln County voters."

The petition drive was coordinated by the Georgia Coalition for the People's Agenda, Common Cause Georgia, Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights, Black Voters Matter, Southern Poverty Law Center and Georgia Association of Latino Elected Officials. Local activists and community members helping to coordinate are: Rev. Denise Freeman, civil/human rights activist, Bishop Willie Jackson, Christ Centered Outreach Ministry, and Rev. Christopher Johnson, Augusta Interfaith Coalition.

ABOUT THE PEOPLE'S AGENDA

Georgia Coalition for the People's Agenda is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization performing year-round voter registration, education and mobilization in Black communities throughout Georgia.

The Black Women Behind The World Games 2022 in Birmingham, Alabama

There is a reason Birmingham, AL is called The Magic City /ScoopCloud/ -- ome may say it's because of breathtaking, rust-stained Red Mountain that sits in the heart of the metro area. Or maybe it's the unique presence of coal, iron ore, and limestone in the soil that established the city's rich history of mining and steel production. But those who live there know the true magic in The Magic City is found in its people and the diversity, culture, and creativity they embody. The city's support for women and inclusion is why The World Games 2022 (TWG 2022) committee announced the selection of three exceptional black businesswomen - Kathy Boswell, Pam Cook, and Rashada LeRoy - to head the planning, promotion, and production of the international multi-sports event.

A decision that couples The Magic City with a little Black Girl Magic to bring in an estimated economic impact of $256 million.

Read Birmingham Time's article: "Meet The Most Prominent Team Behind The World Games 2022" - https://www.birminghamtimes.com/2022/03/meet-the-birmingham-dream-team-behind-the-world-games-2022/

Vice president of community relations for the Games, Kathy Boswell, oversees the recruitment of volunteers and spearheads several key programs; Pam Cook, director of multicultural marketing and community affairs for Coca-Cola UNITED's Central Region, is the chief marketing officer; and Rashada LeRoy, alongside her company LRY Media Group, is producing the opening and closing ceremonies and managing The World Games Plaza. Together, these women are building a foundation for leading and leveraging an event of this magnitude.

"Birmingham is rich in history and progressive in inclusiveness," said Cook. "Women, especially black women, are at the forefront of growth in the city. It's humbling to work alongside these very talented ladies who refuse to compete with one another for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. We're ready to welcome the world to Birmingham."

The World Games 2022 (TWG 2022), an 11-day event, follows the Summer Olympic Games every four years. The 2022 event will mark the eleventh World Games and only the second time in history it is held on U.S. soil. In 1981, the first U.S. event took place in Santa Clara, CA. This year's Games will be held in Birmingham from July 7-17, where over 600 medals will be awarded to more than 3,500 elite athletes. Sports fans will convene in Alabama and experience the magic and southern hospitality Birmingham is known for.

Kalyagen Announces Supporting Partnership of Two South Florida PGA Events and PGA Associate Jerrel Gill

AUSTIN, Texas /ScoopCloud/ -- Kalyagen® is pleased to announce that it is a supporting partner of two upcoming South Florida PGA Section events and golf professional Jerrel Gill. The two events are the South Florida PGA Foundation PGA HOPE Classic on May 12, 2022 and the South Florida Open on June 21-23, 2022.

"I'm extremely excited to introduce Kalyagen to the South Florida PGA and the PGA Hope program benefiting veterans like myself and some of my team members," said Desmond Dogan, Director of Sales at Kalyagen®. "Being a former golf professional and club pro, I understand the grind that is associated with practicing, playing, teaching, running the pro shop and more. That's why I'm pleased that Kalyagen is sponsoring Jerrel Gill, presently a Class B-13 PGA Associate who played on the HBCU Hampton University golf team. Jerrel will be attempting to qualify to play in the South Florida Open."

STEMREGEN® is a unique and patent-pending blend of proprietary plant-based extracts documented to increase the number of circulating stem cells by stimulating Endogenous Stem Cell Mobilization (ESCM). Ingredients in STEMREGEN® have been investigated in more than eight studies for their effect on stem cell function, of which five were randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled human clinical trials. STEMREGEN® has wide application in antiaging and overall health maintenance.

"Despite my local success, I am determined to improve my game and consistently compete against the best P.G.A. Professionals," said Jerrel Gil, PGA professional golfer. "I have been noticing a deficiency in strength and recovery compared to my competitors. As a result, I have been fortunate enough to partner with Kalyagen and use its stem cell enhancement supplement STEMREGEN to assist in my 2022 journey to contend in the South Florida PGA Section and hopefully on the PGA Tour!"

"We are delighted to partner with Jerrel and the South Florida PGA Section," said Kalyagen® founder and CEO Christian Drapeau. "The link between a lower number of circulating stem cells and the development of age-related diseases and lack of recovery has been well studied. From a therapeutic standpoint, increasing the number of circulating stem cells has been documented to enhance tissue repair and improve the course of disease formation in many degenerative conditions and overall health and well-being that should benefit Jerrel's training and recovery efforts. We can't wait to see his journey in golf rollout this season with the benefits of STEMREGEN on his team."

About Kalyagen

Austin-based Kalyagen® was founded by Christian Drapeau, author of the bestseller Cracking the Stem Cell Code. Kalyagen® is a leader in the research and development of natural products aimed at supporting stem cell function of the body. Stem cells constitute the natural repair system of the body, and stem cell enhancers have been documented to strongly contribute to improving health and quality of life. STEMREGEN® is the first stem cell enhancer product developed by Kalyagen®.

New Centers for Children with Autism Open in Omaha and Lincoln, with Additional Centers Planned for 2022

OMAHA, Neb. /ScoopCloud/ -- Stride Autism Centers ("Stride"), a provider of evidence-based therapy for preschool-age children with autism, is thrilled to announce two new convenient locations in Nebraska. Enrollment for children ages 2-6 has begun for the Lincoln clinic, located at 4545 S 86th St, Suite 101, and for the Omaha clinic, located at 310 Regency Pkwy #115. Stride is planning more center openings in Omaha and throughout Nebraska to serve more families in need.

In keeping with their mission to help as many children and families as possible, Stride accepts Nebraska Medicaid as well as a majority of private insurance plans. They are committed to serving clients regardless of their funding source.

Stride's empathetic and highly skilled clinical team relies on a thoughtful approach based on Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy. ABA therapy is widely considered to be the most well-supported and optimal treatment for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder.

One of the biggest advantages of Stride's program is that it offers personalized support and guidance during a child's most critical time of development (ages 2-6). As a means of giving each child the care and attention they deserve, Stride keeps a 1:1 therapist-to-child ratio. Their refined center-based model enables children with autism to develop and improve communication and social skills while engaging with peers and participating in fun and educational group activities.

To be effective and deliver the best results possible, Stride has its Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) put together treatment plans meticulously customized for each child that enrolls in the program.

Brad Zelinger, Stride's Founder and CEO, explained that "Stride's mission to provide the best possible support to children with autism and their families is deeply personal to me. My sister has an autism-related disorder called Rett Syndrome. She is nonverbal, and requires substantial support in everyday activities. I founded Stride so individuals like her can get the effective therapy they need as early as possible to live more independent, joyous lives. As a Midwesterner myself, I'm particularly motivated to bring Stride's services to underserved communities throughout the Midwest."

Discussing their program, Stride's Clinical Director and University Chair of ABA at the Chicago School of Professional Psychology, Dr. Ashley Whittington-Barnish, PhD, LCP, BCBA-D, NCSP commented that "Decades of research demonstrating the effectiveness of early intervention for children with autism underlie our decision to specialize in the early treatment of young learners."

"Our mission-driven team is incredibly motivated by Stride's unwavering commitment to meaningful outcomes. We're grateful that our singular focus on the highest quality care has allowed us to attract outstanding clinical leaders and therapists alike," Dr. Whittington-Barnish also stated.

About Stride Autism Centers

Stride Autism Centers is a mission-focused organization that provides evidence-based ABA therapy to preschool-age children with autism. Stride has locations throughout Nebraska, Iowa, and Illinois. Stride's well-rounded program includes structured one-on-one therapy as well as naturalistic group activities.

HousingWire Names DocMagic One of the Top 100 Most Innovative Mortgage Companies for 2022

TORRANCE, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- DocMagic, Inc., the premier provider of compliant loan document generation, automated regulatory compliance and comprehensive eMortgage services, announced that it earned a spot on HousingWire's coveted 2022 Tech100 list for the ninth straight year.

HousingWire's Tech100 program provides housing professionals with a comprehensive list of the most innovative and impactful organizations that are being leveraged to address the challenges that mortgage lenders and real estate professionals face every day.

"We're always innovating and enhancing our solutions to maximize customer success as our digital lending ecosystem advances," said Dominic Iannitti, president and CEO at DocMagic. "Over the course of 2021, we launched several new solutions designed to improve the borrower experience and make back-office staff more efficient. We are elated that HousingWire has recognized our innovations and again listed DocMagic as a Tech100 winner."

In 2021, DocMagic unveiled eSign 3.0, a redesigned user interface that dramatically enhances the borrower experience. eSign 3.0 also offers lenders and settlement providers new features that help them more easily initiate remote online notarizations (RON) to enable fully paperless eClosings via its Total eClose(tm) platform.

2021 also saw the launch of DocMagic's eDecision(tm) tool, which instantly determines e-eligibility and provides the most beneficial level of eClosing that a lender can offer borrowers. The automatic decisioning process begins as soon as the first set of disclosures is generated and continues to perform e-eligibility checks throughout the process.

In addition, DocMagic recently introduced AutoPrep(tm), a solution that applies AI, OCR and machine learning technology to instantly e-enable third-party documents, streamlining electronic document execution within its award-winning Total eClose(tm) platform. AutoPrep has been gaining steady adoption since being launched in 2020.

"This year's list of Tech100 honorees proves once again that innovation within housing is vital in differentiating the organizations who will thrive and those who will be left behind," said Clayton Collins, CEO of HW Media. "This list spotlights the innovators that are making the housing sector better and more sustainable by increasing efficiency, improving user and borrower experiences and bringing elasticity and improvements to age-old processes."

Notable is that DocMagic was the first vendor in the mortgage industry to launch a fully paperless eClosing solution, complete with remote notary capability. Total eClose was officially introduced in 2014 and has since become award-winning technology with widespread industry adoption.

Choyce Peterson’s Capital Markets Team Sells Prominent Fairfield, Connecticut Medical Office Building

NORWALK, Conn. /ScoopCloud/ -- Choyce Peterson, Inc. (choycepeterson.com), a full-service commercial real estate brokerage firm, recently announced the successful sale of the 4,925 square foot free-standing building at 309 Stillson Road in Fairfield, CT to Dr. Vinay Madan, MD. In mid-2021, Choyce Peterson was appointed by Meland Properties LLC as the exclusive listing agent for this medical building situated just off Black Rock Turnpike, Fairfield's preeminent retail thoroughfare. The Choyce Peterson Capital Markets team was made up of Vice Presidents Scott Peterson and Charlene O'Connell.

To showcase this turn-key medical building, Choyce Peterson created a social media campaign and launched an extensive mail and email campaign to suitable buyers, including healthcare practices.

Ultimately, Dr. Madan selected this site because it is pre-built for a medical practice, provides good visibility, and is well-situated equidistant between I-95 Exit 24 and the Merritt Parkway Exit 44. This will support his effort to expand his Wilton-based Center for Varicose Veins practice with a new branch in Fairfield. The first floor of the site is currently occupied by an urgent care practice. The second floor of the site will be taken over by the new owner.

As Dr. Ellen Espina, Co-Owner of Meland Properties LLC commented, "We are so pleased that we chose Choyce Peterson's Capital Markets team to market our building for sale. Their professionalism, aggressive marketing, and negotiating skills ensured an easy process for us. In the end, we had multiple parties interested that resulted in a selling price that was very close to asking. We couldn't be happier we chose Choyce Peterson!"

Dr. Myrna Reyes, Co-Owner of Meland Properties LLC added, "I felt very confident that the sale of our building would happen smoothly and quickly when Scott and Charlene presented their marketing strategy."

Peterson remarked, "For decades, multiple medical practices have successfully run their businesses from this building, including my own pediatrician when I was young. We're thrilled that our efforts have led to the timely sale of this building and the continued success of medical practices at this location."

Dr. Madan was represented by Stewart Snow, Executive Vice President at Berkshire Hathaway Commercial Group.

Celebrate L. Ron Hubbard’s Birthday by Doing Something Special for You

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard once wrote, "I like to help others and count it as my greatest pleasure in life to see a person free himself of the shadows which darken his days." In honor of L. Ron Hubbard's birthday, March 13, you are invited to watch a film on the Scientology Network that may very well change your life.

Is it possible to be happy? This is a question as old as Man. But in our hectic modern world, it seems to defy a positive answer. Yet, as is often the case, the more complicated the problem the simpler the solution. And so it is when it comes to happiness.

In a quarter of an hour, watching the film, "Is It Possible to Be Happy?" and listening as L. Ron Hubbard not only answers the question affirmatively but shows you how, you will walk away with a tool that can change your life.

This is the only essay Mr. Hubbard ever recorded. He originally presented it on radio and Scientology Media Productions brings it to life on film-in his own voice.

If anything, the answer to this question is even more relevant today than when he originally wrote and recorded it, as evidenced by spiraling drug overdose deaths and suicide rates.

This film is part of the original series "L. Ron Hubbard Library Presents." The series includes filmed versions of some of his most popular essays and articles including "My Philosophy," "What is Greatness?" and "The Aims of Scientology."

Winner of two Aurora Platinum Best of Show awards, the films in this series illustrate L. Ron Hubbard's key observations and groundbreaking discoveries into the mind, spirit and life.

Learn how L. Ron Hubbard's deeply held conviction-that Man's accumulated knowledge and wisdom should be openly shared for the benefit of all humanity-led to his founding of Scientology, the world's youngest major religion.

Since launching with a special episode featuring Scientology ecclesiastical leader Mr. David Miscavige, the Scientology Network has been viewed in 240 countries and territories worldwide in 17 languages.

Broadcast from Scientology Media Productions, the Church's global media center in Los Angeles, the Scientology Network is available on DIRECTV Channel 320 and can be streamed on Scientology.tv, on mobile apps, and via the Roku, Amazon Fire and Apple TV platforms.
