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.

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. Led by board chair, Rev. J. A. Milner, and Butler, the organization has headquarters in Atlanta and offices in Athens, Albany, Macon, Augusta, LaGrange and Savannah.

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.

NYC Dermatologist Opens Wilton Practice and Partners with Sacred Heart University

WILTON, Conn. /ScoopCloud/ -- DermMedical, a new dermatology practice located in Wilton, Connecticut, is focused on setting itself apart from other dermatology practices in the region.

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.

TRAVERSE City, Mich. /ScoopCloud/ -- The nondestructive testing community will gather for the International Chemical Petroleum Industry Inspection Technology (ICPIIT) Conference at the Sugar Land Marriott Town Square in Sugar Land, Texas from March 16 - 18. The American Society for Nondestructive Testing (ASNT) event will be featuring nondestructive testing (NDT) technology and methods relating to downstream refineries, midstream pipelines, upstream oil & gas production, and other relevant chemical and petroleum topics.

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. It is designed to assist with self-care, school readiness, social skills, emotional regulation, communication, transitioning, and play and leisure.

Families interested in learning more about the full-day program can contact Stride Autism Centers at 515-207-5251 (Iowa and Nebraska) or 312-554-5578 (Illinois) or visit the Stride website at http://www.stridecenters.com/.

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.

Legacy Launch Pad Publishing Releases Inspirational Book of Essays by Coach and Author Lauren Schwarzfeld

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Legacy Launch Pad Publishing is releasing "Unboxed: Essays on Learning to Trust Myself to Stop Doing the Things I Hate" (ISBN: 979-8985225327), the first book by coach Lauren Schwarzfeld. Written in a humorous and down-to-earth tone, "Unboxed" is part memoir and part manifesto, detailing how Schwarzfeld found herself with a prestigious degree, a fast-paced New York finance job, a loving husband and three beautiful children and yet still felt stuck. Each essay examines the efforts she took to find her way back to herself.

In the book, Schwarzfeld shares the diverse life experiences she earned by trying on various careers-as a waitress, accounting professional, direct sales representative, doula and stay-at-home mom-before finding her place as a writer and life coach.

In the same wise and caring voice that she has established through her writing in the Westchester County Mom Collective and as a contributor to the bestselling anthology "The Addiction Diaries," "Unboxed" puts Schwarzfeld's personal journey on paper for the first time while inspiring readers to become the authors of their own stories.

"'Unboxed' is a breath of fresh air," says publisher Anna David. "Lauren's life story is completely her own, and the voice she uses to tell it is lively and engaging. There are a lot of books out there about 'bottoming out' on certain behaviors before making a change and yet few that detail what most people experience: how to change before things fall apart. Her book will help a lot of people who feel alone because their stories aren't often shared."

For women who seem to be doing all the right things but still haven't found what they're looking for, Schwarzfeld's story offers insights and reflections on the challenges of transitioning to adulthood, maintaining long-term relationships, finding friendship and establishing a sense of independence through it all.

Schwarzfeld's wisdom in "Unboxed" will help women find the courage to trust themselves and step outside the box of their perceived expectations-regardless of where life may take them.

"Unboxed: Essays on Learning to Trust Myself to Stop Doing the Things I Hate" is available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble, among many other outlets.

School Construction Projects Slowed by Pandemic, Maas Companies Inc., Sees Hope Supply Chain Problems Will Ease Up

IRVINE, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Construction project timeline delays, increased material costs, labor shortages, and supply chain lags stemming from the pandemic have reportedly affected 70% of construction projects across the nation (*see citation), however Maas Companies, advisors in program and construction management for the academic community, believe the tide is close to changing.

Delivery delays are starting to ease due to government intervention. California Governor Newsom and the Department of General Services identified six state sites to store up to 20,000 shipping containers in an effort to alleviate port congestion. This lack of storage space was a primary driver of the bottlenecks at state ports. (**)

"Delays plus the increased cost of materials alone has had enormous impact," says Penny McGrew, Program Manager with Maas Companies which has overseen the construction of 415 projects for districts, educational institutions, and public agencies over the past 15 years. The firm currently has 86 active projects underway. "Steel is up 250 to 300%, lumber up 400%, and commercial plumbing supplies have escalated to 175% over the pre-pandemic price," she adds. (***)

Malcolm Wilson, CEO of GXO, a global logistics firm is optimistic of a supply chain turn around. Wilson said GXO, which has more than 860 warehouses around the world, is now seeing a lot of the backlogged cargo channeling into the firm's warehouses. The process will take time and industry officials don't expect the backlog to fully clear until 2023. (****)

"We are seeing school districts directly procuring long lead items such as HVAC units, which face 8-to-10-month backlogs, and electrical components, rather than wait for a contractor to order them," observes McGrew. "This puts the items on site so that when a contractor is approved, the project is ready to go," she adds.

Building a school in California is a complex matter under the best of circumstances. "Timelines are contingent on many variables, from the quality of the land for the building site to the complexity of the architecture, weather, and other factors," says Maas President Lori Maas O'Keefe. Such projects are also directed by the California Code of Regulations, Title V, which mandates the guidelines for state funded school facilities construction. Many schools and community colleges also draw funding from public bond measures, adding another layer of accountability and guidelines.

Because education facilities in California have been regarded as essential, work on school projects was allowed to continue during sporadic "lockdowns" related to the pandemic, although the mission to maintain worker safety and securing the required personal protective equipment had proven challenging in the days of Covid-19. Despite the continuance of work schedules, labor shortages and material shortages have slowed the process.

For example, supply problems put the skids on the reopening of Riverside Elementary School and the Performing Arts building at Carlsbad High School, both in Carlsbad, California, where project delays also impacted Desert Willow Elementary School and Ocotillo Elementary School, among others. (*****)

Despite the pandemic's punch, Maas O'Keefe remains optimistic. "Everyone at the table shares the same goal: giving students the best school facility possible. That alone helps despite global issues beyond our control," she says.

All That Glitters is Not Gold: Attorney Debuts Shocking Legal Thriller ‘The Golden Prison’ – Blows the Lid off Secret World of High-Stakes Business Crime

NEW YORK CITY, N.Y. /ScoopCloud/ -- Attorney Paul Alexander Sangillo announces the debut of his first novel, "Golden Prison" (ISBN: 978-1941015469). This novel is the first of its kind, offering a never-before-seen look into the hi-stakes, impossibly stressful world of law students and young lawyers.

Once you pick up this startling book, get comfortable, because you will not put it down. This novel is a gripping, astonishing, and addictive, and features strong characters that you will root for along the way.

Paul Sangillo wrote "The Golden Prison" to de-stress as a high-powered attorney, and reached into some of his own past experiences with true-life cases and colorful characters. The heart of his novel grew from the very real struggle of all law students and new lawyers, who face hundreds of hours of work weekly and relentless, impossible deadlines.

For the first time, an attorney has shared the often grim reality and deep pain law students and young attorneys face as they must work all night, every night, with many turning to drugs.

But Sangillo also brilliantly reinvents one of the most classic themes in literature along the way, in the character of an ethical, poor student who finds himself emerging from the bleak realties of a poor student to the gold-encrusted, jaded world of a giant corporation.

"The Golden Prison" is a fast-paced, unpredictable journey that takes a rags-to-riches story through its nightmare journey. Drugs, murder, and exquisite love scenes in a romance that may change everything, blend with the young attorney Jeff Rhode's code of honor, as he faces extremely dangerous situations at his new firm.

"The Golden Prison" serves as a warning to ambitious students entering the work force to be wary of the slippery slope of doing "just one more" unethical thing to get ahead or survive in the cut throat world of business.

Jeff Rhode will keep you at the edge of your seat, as he faces the riches that imprison him while trying to remain compassionate and follow the law.

"The Golden Prison" is a riveting story of one young lawyer who battles to remain honorable - and alive - in the midst of a corrupt, multi-billion-dollar company that may be guilty of murder.

The next time you sit across from your attorney, you will never look at him or her the same.

"Law school is like running on a treadmill set at an incline of 15 at the highest speed you can imagine," said author Paul Sangillo. "Most of us were exhausted and stressed out, but turned to coffee or just suffered through the long hours. But many law students turned to drugs, and sadly, that habit continued when they join these heavy-hitter business, who literally have you work overnight. Simultaneously, once a new attorney joins a firm, there is seismic shift that happens, between the balance of the rule of law and reality of how big business really operates."

"The Golden Prison" is available in print or eBook on Amazon, Good Reads and Kindle. To purchase the book visit: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1941015468

Ask An Optometrist to Improve Your Eye-Q

DENVER, Colo. /ScoopCloud/ -- The Colorado Optometric Association (COA) and 2020 Eyes Colorado are answering commonly asked patient questions to educate the public on eye health. 2020 Eyes Colorado is the COA's public awareness initiative to promote healthy eyes and vision across the state throughout the year.

People frequently have questions about vision or eyesight but neglect to ask during their annual eye exam. A group of Colorado optometrists have created a list with answers of eight commonly asked questions or misconceptions about eye health.

Some of the questions our optometrists answer include:

* Can an optometrist diagnose diabetes just through an eye exam?

* Does eating carrots improve eyesight?

* What are the qualifications to be a candidate for LASIK surgery?

* Do blue light glasses and filters actually work?

"Educating Coloradans about eye health is extremely important, as is identifying misconceptions many patients have. This list of commonly asked questions allows the COA and 2020 Eyes Colorado to serve that purpose," says Dr. Jean DeMoss, Board President for the Colorado Optometric Association.

The list of questions and answers can be read and downloaded, along with many other resources about vision and eye health.

See the full list of questions and answers here https://2020eyescolorado.org/optometrists-answer-common-questions-about-your-eye-health/

HomeBinder’s Adaptive Home Value™ model keeps homeowners coming back to mortgage lenders, home inspectors and Realtors with equity-building insights

BOSTON, Mass. /ScoopCloud/ -- HomeBinder, a centralized home management platform that keeps homeowners connected with mortgage lenders, home inspectors, Realtors and other authorized professionals, today announced the availability of its Adaptive Home Value™ tool. The tool paints a more accurate picture of a home's value by taking into consideration property-specific details that other automated valuation models (AVMs) fail to consider, such as regular maintenance and upkeep, projects and renovations, and updates to the major systems and appliances of the home.

HomeBinder's Adaptive Home Value tool is powerful enough to take in a breadth of home data logged in a homeowner's binder, analyze that data and algorithmically calculate its immediate and long-term impact on overall home value. The web-based platform also features a user-friendly interface, ensuring homeowners can easily log maintenance, home improvement projects, appliance upgrades and other items that can affect their adaptive home value estimate.

In addition to tracking homeowners' personalized adaptive home value within the HomeBinder dashboard, the platform automates monthly emails containing adaptive home value updates and maintenance recommendations for increasing home value. HomeBinder's adaptive home value email updates are branded with the colors, logos and images of authorized professionals who have gifted the HomeBinder, keeping them top of mind with homeowners for years beyond close.

"Most homeowners are aware that home valuation goes beyond beds, baths and square footage, but are in the dark about the types of work that grows their home's value and by how much," said HomeBinder Chief Product Officer Guy Tassinari. "Our goal with Adaptive Home Value is to gamify equity building by showing homeowners the quantifiable impact maintenance and home improvement projects have on their home's value."

"Empowering homeowners with transparency into adaptive home value helps them be better stewards of their investment, and directs them back to their HomeBinder sponsor when they're in the position to sell, refinance or buy another home," continued Tassinari.

HomeBinder will be providing demos of Adaptive Home Value at exhibit booth 121 of ICE Mortgage Technology's Experience 2022 conference, being held at the Wynn Las Vegas, March 14-16, 2022.

Onsite demos can be scheduled in advance by clicking here https://meetings.hubspot.com/marketing-homebinder?utm_campaign=Lender%20Vertical%20Campaign&utm_source=Marketing%20Calendar

About HomeBinder:

HomeBinder is a home management platform that makes maintaining a home's value easy and actionable while improving relationships between homeowners and the businesses that serve them. Unlike traditional leave-behinds like business cards and refrigerator magnets, HomeBinder maintains an ongoing digital connection with homeowners as they manage their home improvements, data, documents and relationships over time. Founded in 2015, HomeBinder is a venture-backed Techstars Boston '19 company headquartered in Burlington, Massachusetts.
