Scientology Network’s Documentary Showcase Airs ‘Man in Red Bandana,’ the Tale of a 9/11 Hero

NEW YORK, N.Y. /ScoopCloud/ -- "Man in Red Bandana" retraces the final hours of a mysterious American hero who gave his life in the South Tower on 9/11 to save others. Firsthand accounts from those he rescued speak of a man wearing a red bandana, the only clue that would lead to the reveal of his true identity: Welles Remy Crowther.

Written and directed by Matthew J. Weiss and narrated by Gwyneth Paltrow, Man in Red Bandana documents the selfless courage and inspiring legacy of Welles Remy Crowther, a 24-year-old equities trader who worked on the 104th floor of the South Tower of the World Trade Center. Described by those he saved as a kind of guardian angel, Welles guided injured, disoriented and panic-stricken victims to safety via an escape route he had located. But instead of taking the opportunity to save himself, he climbed back up the stairway to rescue still more. Once his identity was discovered, his legend grew to include numerous honors, as well as recognition by President Obama at the dedication ceremony for the National 9/11 Memorial and Museum.

Man in Red Bandana won the Humanitarian Award at the Rhode Island International Film Festival and the Audience Award at the Niagara Falls International Film Festival.

ABOUT MATTHEW J. WEISS

Man in Red Bandana is Matthew J. Weiss's first full-length documentary and directorial debut. Additional credits by the New York-based attorney turned award-winning filmmaker include producing the feature film Vault and the documentary My Father Muhammad Ali.

In an interview with Scientology Media Productions for DOCUMENTARY SHOWCASE, Matthew said:

"I made this film to encourage others to be better and to personify Welles's values. And now with this platform, literally thousands and thousands more people are going to be able to be inspired and impacted by Welles and his story. So I'm very grateful for this opportunity and super excited that it has been accepted on such a prestigious platform."

Scientology Volunteer Ministers Continental Cavalcade Reaches Out With Help at the Canadian National Exhibition

TORONTO, Canada /ScoopCloud/ -- The 75th anniversary of the Canadian Air Show at the Canadian National Exhibition was a perfect opportunity to showcase the humanitarian activities of the Scientology Volunteer Ministers. Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard, who developed the Volunteer Ministers program, was himself a pioneer at the dawn of American aviation, known as "Flash Hubbard" for his aerial achievements.

Distinguished Toastmaster and community activist Azhar Khan carried the metaphor forward by comparing the Volunteer Ministers program to the stunning aerial display: Just as these jets break the sound barrier, Volunteer Ministers break the barriers to a happy, successful life, he said.

Uche Okugo, founder and president of the Network of Nigerians in Canada and member of the Brampton Mayor's Black Advisory Council, spoke of his partnership with the Volunteer Ministers. He explained that by using the tools of the Scientology Volunteer Ministers, he has been able to greatly expand his help to orient immigrants and assist them to succeed, often under difficult circumstances, in their new country.

"Life can be very challenging," said Scientology Volunteer Ministers spokesperson Cyndie Clourie. "Many of us experience ups and downs as we navigate toward prosperity and happiness. But unlike the supersonic jet pilot, who is trained to perfection in his craft, we frequently find ourselves in the cockpit of life without a manual or map, trying to avoid the downdrafts and struggling to keep ourselves from heading into a nosedive. Scientology Volunteer Ministers provide tools for life that put you in control in the pilot's seat."

These life skills include the technology of study to help people learn skills so they can achieve their full potential. They help increase their ability to deal with turbulent circumstances. Using these tools, people can discover the underlying cause of quarrels and conflicts and resolve them.

Visitors also learned of the disaster relief work done internationally by Scientology Volunteer Ministers. Guests were invited to attend seminars at the pavilion or to log onto the Volunteer Ministers website to enroll on free online Scientology Tools for Life courses.

Whether it's helping a neighbor or friend with a personal or family difficulty or answering the call of a nation on the other side of the world after a tragic disaster, the motto of the Volunteer Minister is "Something Can Be Done About It."

Celebrating the Magic of Hidalgo on L. Ron Hubbard Way

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- L. Ron Hubbard Way was transformed into a cultural festival last week, bringing the rich heritage of Hildago to life in East Hollywood. The celebration showcased the vibrant crafts, traditional music, colorful costumes, dancing and authentic cuisine of the magical villages in the green mountains of Hidalgo, the state named for Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, known as the father of Mexican independence.

Siblings Justina and José Islas organized the festival. They brought cultural associations and nonprofits on board, including Unidos Por Una Misma Causa (United for the Same Cause), which advocates for human rights and drug prevention, Unidos Por Hidalgo (United for Hidalgo) and Sur California Hidalguenses (Southern California Hidalguans). They invited the Los Angeles Latino community to join them in this celebration of Hidalgo culture and traditions.

José spoke fondly of his birthplace, Acaxochitlán, named a "Magical Village" in 2023. Acaxochitlán means "a place where reeds grow" in Nahuatl, the Aztec language of the region's Indigenous people. These reeds are used to create the unique baskets, hats and flutes of his village, many of which were on display at the artisanal booths set up along L. Ron Hubbard Way. Traditional craftsmen also exhibited handmade jewelry. Local cooks served the traditional lamb "barbacoa" in pastries and hand-made tortillas.

When the folkloric ballet Corazones Valientes performed Mexican dances to traditional "huapango" music, those attending the festival joined them in a spontaneous celebration of the culture of home.

The Islas presented a plaque to the Church of Scientology Los Angeles in recognition of humanitarian and Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard, who believed, "A community that pulls together can make a better society for all." This philosophy inspires the Church of Scientology Los Angeles to bring the diverse Los Angeles cultures and communities together to achieve shared humanitarian goals.

The Church of Scientology Los Angeles is an Ideal Scientology Organization, configured to service Scientologists in their ascent to spiritual freedom and serve as a home for the entire community-a meeting ground of cooperative effort to uplift people of all denominations. It was dedicated by Scientology ecclesiastical leader Mr. David Miscavige in 2010. The Church of Scientology Los Angeles is featured in an episode of the original series Inside Scientology on the Scientology Network.

Privacy Accelerationism Movement Gains Traction as Concerns Over Privacy Erosion Intensify

NEW YORK, N.Y. /ScoopCloud/ -- According to reports from NBTV, a global privacy advocacy organization, and the Privacy Accelerationism (priv/acc) movement, the fight for privacy rights is rapidly gaining momentum as public frustration over data breaches, corporate data-sharing scandals, and warrantless government surveillance escalates. Millions of individuals worldwide are demanding stronger protections for personal data and greater accountability from corporations and governments that have repeatedly violated privacy rights.

The past year has been marked by a series of high-profile incidents, with companies like Meta and Google facing backlash for unauthorized data sharing and invasive tracking practices. At the same time, governments have come under fire for employing warrantless surveillance tools to monitor citizens. These developments have ignited a growing global privacy movement, with individuals calling for urgent reforms and widespread adoption of privacy-preserving technologies.

Public Backlash Spurs Growing Movement

The tipping point for many came as corporations continued to profit from personal data, while data breaches exposed sensitive information of millions worldwide. These practices, once hidden behind lengthy Terms of Service agreements, are now being brought to light, and the public is responding with increasing demands for transparency and control over personal data.

"People are realizing the true extent of how their data is being exploited and surveilled, and they've had enough," said Naomi Brockwell, founder of NBTV and a leading privacy advocate. "This isn't just about breaches or data sales-it's about the fundamental right to privacy, which is being eroded every day by governments and corporations alike."

Governments Under Fire for Warrantless Surveillance

Governments around the globe have come under intense scrutiny for their role in enabling mass surveillance. Programs that utilize warrantless data collection and tools like geofence warrants have sparked outrage, with privacy advocates arguing these actions violate basic civil liberties. Public opposition has been particularly strong in regions where citizens previously trusted their governments to protect personal freedoms.

Brockwell emphasized the need for swift action: "Governments are overstepping their bounds, and people are pushing back harder than ever. We need stronger laws and protections that ensure privacy is respected as a fundamental human right."

Adoption of Privacy Tools on the Rise

In response to this growing movement, more individuals are turning to privacy-preserving technologies such as encrypted messaging, decentralized financial systems, and privacy-focused browsers. Organizations like NBTV and movements like Privacy Accelerationism (priv/acc) have helped spread awareness about these tools, with viral content educating millions on how to take control of their personal data.

"Privacy technology is no longer niche," said Brockwell. "It's becoming mainstream because people realize they need it to protect themselves in today's data-driven world."

A Call for Accountability and Reform

With global discontent on the rise, privacy advocates are pushing for concrete legislative reforms and better enforcement of existing data protection laws. Corporations are facing increasing pressure to change their practices or risk losing consumer trust, while governments must confront growing public resistance to warrantless surveillance.

"This is a movement that won't be stopped," Brockwell added. "The world is waking up to the importance of privacy, and now is the time to act."

This new website, for the first time in 20+ years now provides clear and transparent direct pricing for digital marketing services such as Search Engine Optimization, Secure Website Hosting, Local Maps and Directories Submission, and Press Release Distribution.

To further introduce the company to local businesses, Digital Warlock is now also providing member-only discounted pricing to any member of the three chambers of commerce - a savings of $1200 on SEO Services over a year, $200 off Local Maps and Directories, and a reduced rate of $59 a month for Secure Website Hosting.

To kick off the new services launch, and to take part in its first business trade show, Digital Warlock is an Event Sponsor for the Henderson Chamber of Commerce Ready, Set, Expo Annual Event at the M Resort Pavilion on September 18, 2024 from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m.

The company will be at Booth #64, near the stage and bar, and will be providing Warlock branded materials to all visitors, and will be raffling off a new Apple iPad, and a new Apple TV 4K during the event, to any business who submits a ticket request to receive free Search Engine Audit Reports.

Rate-and-Term Refinances Surge 109% MoM in August as Mortgage Rates Decline

PLANO, Texas /ScoopCloud/ -- Optimal Blue today released its August 2024 Market Advantage mortgage data report, which reveals an overall 1% rise in rate lock volume despite the typical seasonal slowdown in purchase lending. Lock volume growth was driven by a surge in refinance activity as homeowners reacted to declining mortgage rates.

"Refinance activity, particularly rate-and-term refinances, surged as mortgage rates declined across all loan types," said Brennan O'Connell, director of data solutions at Optimal Blue. "Notably, August saw a remarkable 109% month-over-month (MoM) increase in rate-and-term refi volume in response to a 31-basis-point drop in the benchmark OBMMI 30-year conforming rate, which ended the month at 6.37%. Rate-and-term refi activity was up 300% from the same period last year."

Key findings from the Market Advantage report, which are drawn from direct-source mortgage lock data, include:

* Refinance volume spikes and purchase volume falls: Refinances now account for 26% of total production, the highest level since March 2022, when the Federal Reserve began increasing interest rates. Rate-and-term refinance volume more than doubled in August, rising 109% MoM, while cash-out refinances also saw a more modest increase of 8%. Purchase volume fell by 10% MoM.

* Mortgage rates decline: 30-year mortgage rates trended downward in August across all loan types, with the biggest shift in FHA rates, which fell by 40 bps to 6.13%, and the smallest shift occurring in conforming rates, which fell by 31 bps to 6.37%.

* Narrowed spreads provide more refinance incentive: The 10-Year Treasury yield decreased by 18 bps to 3.91%, with the spread between the 10-Year Treasury and the 30-year conforming mortgage rate narrowing by 13 bps to 246 bps. This marks a significant improvement in the spread, which has fallen by over 50 bps from the same period last year.

* Purchase counts reflect persisting challenges for homebuyers: Despite the increase in refinance activity, purchase lock counts - a key indicator of housing market conditions - dropped 16% YoY due to continued affordability and inventory challenges. Purchase locks are down 45% over August 2019.

* 2024 FHA and purchase borrowers' credit scores at highest in seven years: Throughout 2024, monthly average credit scores have been higher than average for FHA borrowers (675.3), as well as for borrowers seeking purchase loans (736.4), than any other month dating back to January 2018, when Optimal Blue started tracking the data. The average credit score across all production in August 2024 was 731.

* Loan amount and purchase price: The average loan amount rose from $369.1K to $372.4K, while the average purchase price fell from $471K to $465.5K.

Both the CIA and MI6 are racing against time to uncover a human trafficking cartel orchestrated by fascist Western politicians in collaboration with the East Germans and the KGB. These groups are exploiting refugees from the former satellite countries of the USSR.

Guided by MI6 agent Clive Matthews, considered the best secret agent in the free world, Kaitlyn maneuvers through the complexities of this high-stakes mission, facing danger and deception at every turn.

With interest rates trending downward, we want to do everything we can to help our customers be prepared," said Ben Teerlink, founder and CEO of MMI.

With the shifting market comes untapped opportunity in every loan officer's customer database. The Mortgage Banker's Association reports refinance applications are up 85% year-over-year.

Join the Scientology Network for Inside Saint Hill: First Worldwide Headquarters of Scientology and the Home of L. Ron Hubbard in the 1960s

EAST GRINSTEAD, U.K. /ScoopCloud/ -- Scientology Network's INSIDE SCIENTOLOGY, the exclusive series that provides unprecedented access to the facilities and behind-the-scenes operation of the Church of Scientology, brings viewers inside Saint Hill-the first worldwide headquarters of Scientology.

INSIDE SCIENTOLOGY airs Monday at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Scientology Network.

Set amidst 100 acres of the ancient Ashdown Forest are the roots of a global religion. Welcome to Saint Hill. This legendary Manor House is located at the Prime Meridian, in the medieval town of East Grinstead, England. Over the course of its nearly 300-year history, its owners have included landed gentry, the wife of an American diplomat and an Indian maharajah.

Then, in the mid-20th century, Saint Hill became home to Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard. Here, he lived, worked and made pivotal breakthroughs in the spiritual technology of Scientology, guiding it from a grass-roots movement to a worldwide religion.

The Manor House, restored to its original magnificence, looks exactly as it did when Mr. Hubbard lived there. From a rare Erard grand piano he played to a darkroom where he developed his photographs, the Manor House gives visitors a sense of the many facets of his life.

In this episode, viewers are given an intimate tour of the landmark site where the global movement was born.

While Saint Hill Manor preserves the Church's origins, across the property, a modern-day Castle serves as a 21st-century church. Inspired by an 11th-century Norman fortress, the Saint Hill Castle was conceived and designed by Mr. Hubbard himself to accommodate the ever-growing numbers of people who were coming to Saint Hill to study Scientology.

Today, thousands journey from all corners of the globe to the pastoral English countryside to celebrate the anniversary of the International Association of Scientologists and support the humanitarian works it sponsors. Cameras capture the jubilant event that is infused with the spirit of Mr. Hubbard. Gain insight into the life of the Founder of Scientology, explore the roots of a modern movement and visit a magical setting with Inside Scientology: Saint Hill.

The Scientology Network debuted on March 12, 2018. Since launching, the Scientology Network has been viewed in over 240 countries and territories worldwide in 17 languages. Satisfying the curiosity of people about Scientology, the network takes viewers across six continents, spotlighting the everyday lives of Scientologists, showing the Church as a global organization, and presenting its social betterment programs that have touched the lives of millions worldwide. The network also showcases documentaries by Independent filmmakers who represent a cross section of cultures and faiths, but share a common purpose of uplifting communities. Scientology Network's innovative content has been recognized with more than 125 industry awards, including Tellys, Communitas and Hermes Creative Awards.

Broadcast from Scientology Media Productions, the Church's global media center in Los Angeles, the Scientology Network is available on DIRECTV Channel 320, DIRECTV STREAM, AT&T U-verse and can be streamed at Scientology.tv, on mobile apps and via the Roku, Amazon Fire and Apple TV platforms.

Matrix Advises Singer Energy Group, Inc. d/b/a Robison on its Sale to an Affiliate of Star Group, L.P.

RICHMOND, Va. /ScoopCloud/ -- Matrix Capital Markets Group, Inc., a leading, independent investment bank, has advised Singer Energy Group, Inc. and its affiliates d/b/a Robison ("Robison" or the "Company") on the sale of its integrated heating oil distribution and HVAC services business to an affiliate of Star Group, L.P. (NYSE: SGU). Headquartered in Port Chester, New York, Robison is a leading distributor of heating oil and provider of home comfort solutions in and around Westchester and Putnam Counties, New York.

The Company's history dates back to the 1920s when members of the Singer and Robison families founded and began operating separate heating oil and petroleum marketing companies. The two companies remained separate until 1984 when Saul Singer and other members of the Singer family purchased Robison from Mobil Oil, which had gained control of Robison during the oil crisis of the 1970s. During the next several years, the Singer family continued to expand the Company by acquiring over 15 heating oil distributors in and around the greater New York City metropolitan area.

Daniel Singer, Robison's current President and CEO, joined the Company in 1996 when it was still focused exclusively on residential heating oil distribution. In subsequent years and through a series of organic and inorganic growth initiatives, Robison also began distributing heating oil to commercial accounts and marketing HVAC and other related home services to customers throughout its marketing territory. Under Daniel Singer's leadership, Robison has transformed into a diversified and sophisticated home comfort solutions provider whose services range from supporting traditional oil-burning and bio-heat mechanical systems to servicing and installing air-sourced heat pumps, complex geothermal heating and cooling systems, standby generators, and other modern home comfort systems.

Matrix provided merger and acquisition advisory services to Robison, which included valuation advisory, marketing the business through a confidential, structured sale process, and negotiation of the sale. The transaction was managed by Stephen Lynch, CPA, CFA, Managing Director; Spencer Cavalier, CFA, Co-Head of Matrix's Downstream Energy & Convenience Retail Investment Banking Group; James Mickelinc, CPA, Associate; and Reilly Erhardt, CPA, Senior Analyst.

Mr. Singer, President and CEO of Robison, commented, "The anticipated anxiety of selecting the right stewards to help guide us through this turning point in our family and company's history was immediately relieved once I met Spencer, Stephen, and the rest of Matrix team. Matrix brought precisely the right balance of a true investment bank with deep knowledge and contacts within the financial markets, along with unsurpassed industry insights and personal attention that allowed us to reach all of our desired transaction goals. As I and the rest of the Robison leadership team turn our collective attention to our next chapter, we could not be happier with the warm welcome and experienced leadership we have all encountered with Star Group's team of professionals."

Mr. Lynch added, "We are grateful to have worked with Robison to honor the rich legacy created by both the Robison and Singer families. The Company's commitment to its customers in Westchester and Putnam counties is unwavering, and we fully believe that Star Group will continue to build upon what the Company has already accomplished. We are very thankful to have been given the opportunity to serve as the advisor to Robison on this transaction."

Joel Lever, Joel Goldschmidt, Caroline Keegan, and Jillian Anzalone of Kurzman, Eisenberg, Corbin, & Lever, LLP served as legal counsel for Robison.

Star Group, L.P. was represented by Karen Murphy and Harrison Kaufman of Bressler, Amery, & Ross P.C.

Inaugural Come Over October 2024 Campaign Gains Global Momentum

NAPA VALLEY, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Four months into the launch of the Come Over October inaugural campaign which encourages friends, family and colleagues to "come over" during the month of October to share wine and celebrate connection, the co-founders share that the wine industry and other supporters have helped raised over $100,000 in funding. Conceived by respected wine authority and author Karen MacNeil, together with wine industry communications professionals Gino Colangelo and Kimberly Noelle Charles, DipWSET, all of whom are working in a pro bono capacity, the team created COME TOGETHER - A Community for Wine Inc., to create campaigns and take a strong position on the relevance and significance of wine, historically and contemporarily.

Since its initial launch, the campaign has received financial and in-kind support from Total Wines & More, Jackson Family Wines, J.Lohr, Joseph Phelps, Lyft, VinePair, Wine Enthusiast, Somm Journal, The Tasting Panel, Napa Valley Vintners, Visit Napa Valley, Palm Bay International, Freixenet Mionetto, WineAmerica, Amici Cellars, Benchmark Wine Group, Dragonette, LXV, Silicon Valley Bank, Tomorrow Cellars, TOR Napa Valley, Willamette Valley Wineries Association, Wines of Sicilia DOC, Southern Wine & Spirits, Realm Cellars, Folio Fine Wine Partners and Walla Walla Valley Wine. More partners are joining daily, and the campaign has over 40 "Friends" who have either offered in kind services or joined as grassroots advocates. As of this writing the campaign is global, resonating with other major wine regions around the world who see the value in the mission and the message. Current supporters include Wines of Chile, Wines of Australia, the Champagne Bureau, New Zealand Wine and Wines of South Africa. Publishers including the Wine Enthusiast, SommJournal, Tasting Panel and VinePair have offered $50,000 in donated advertising value, both print and digital.

MacNeil states, "We are living in trying times, and we all know that good company, good conversation, laughter, and conviviality contribute to an enhanced lifestyle. We want to encourage people to put down their devices and share in each other's company. Historically and socially, wine has often played a role in facilitating conversation, nurturing new friendships, and deepening old ones."

Over time, the wine industry in the United States has experienced ebbs and flows and has met numerous societal and generational challenges. But the industry has taken those challenges in stride, as wine has often been the preferred beverage when people gather. This is what Come Over October advocates--a chance to share stories, be together, celebrate an event or occasion--ostensibly, a chance to reconnect in a digital world.

Two press conferences have been held to date, one virtual and one in Napa Valley at Joseph Phelps Vineyards.

A press conference is slated for September 23rd in New York City at Corkbuzz, and September 25th in Washington DC in the Longworth Congressional Office Building including the Co-Chairs of the Congressional Wine Caucus, Representatives Mike Thompson (D-CA-4) and Dan Newhouse (R-WA-4). The conference will be followed by a wine reception for Members of Congress and invited guests featuring wine from all fifty states hosted by WineAmerica, the national association of American wineries.

Wine lovers can also follow along on Instagram @comeoveroctober or by following #comeoveroctober.

MCT Reports a 3% Increase in Mortgage Lock Volume Backed by Increasing Refinance Activity

SAN DIEGO, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Mortgage Capital Trading, Inc. (MCT®), the de facto leader in innovative mortgage capital markets technology, announced today a 3.33% increase in mortgage lock volume compared to the previous month. Despite a larger increase in rate/term volume, total mortgage volume remains relatively flat.

A recent quarter-point drop in conventional 30-year and government 30-year mortgage rates has triggered an increase of 103.19% in refinance activity compared to the previous month. This surge has helped stabilize overall production levels as total volume remains low, especially when compared to 2020 and 2021. Notably, the year-over-year comparison shows a moderate increase of about 21% in total volume, also driven by a dramatic rise in refinances over the previous year.

Industry experts suggest that many lenders may be pricing in the potential rate cuts expected during the upcoming Federal Reserve meeting.

Andrew Rhodes, Senior Director and Head of Trading at MCT, offered insights into the current market landscape: "We could see additional short-term market volatility as the Fed considers a 25 or 50 basis point rate cut. Friday's Nonfarm Payroll Report will provide further clarity on that decision."

Industry professionals and market enthusiasts are encouraged to download the full report from MCT for a comprehensive analysis of these market dynamics.

MCT's Lock Volume Indices present a snapshot of rate lock volume activity in the residential mortgage industry broken out by lock type (purchase, rate/term refinance, and cash out refinance) across a broad diversity of lenders (e.g., sizes, products/services offered, business models) from MCT's national footprint.

Magnifi Group Teams up with Kalon Staffing to Launch IEP Physician Search – Specifically Targeting Fellows

SAN DIEGO, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Magnifi Group, Inc. and Kalon Staffing, LLC, today announced the launch of IEP Physician Search - iep-search.com - a Fellows search service to place Orthopaedic, Pain Management and Electrophysiology (EP) Fellows in US Medical Centers.

Magnifi Group is uniquely positioned to ensure IEP Physician Search's success due to the didactic courses it holds for Fellows in numerous Orthopaedic specialties, Pain Management and Electrophysiology.

Teaming up with Kalon will further accelerate the accomplishments of IEP Physician Search due to the company's extensive experience placing proven specialists into highly skilled positions.

Andrew Wolpe, president and COO of Magnifi Group said demand from Medical Practices for Fellows entering their respective fields is significantly high due to the relatively small number that are available each year. "We're looking at an average of only 100 Fellows per specialty, per year," said Wolpe. "Since we meet them at our IEP Courses, it's a natural next step to assist these Fellows in their career placement," Wolpe said.

Liesl Bernard, CEO of Kalon Staffing, said her team assesses the criteria for all Fellows has when placing them. "For some, it's geography, for others it's the size of practice and of course it comes down to chemistry," Bernard said. Bernard added that she and her team play a critical role in working with both the medical centers and the Fellows to ensure the perfect match.

Magnifi Group, Inc. is a developer of an FDA-compliant eLearning platform for the medical device and biologics industries. The company also hosts the Spine IEP Live Fellows Course; the Lower Extremity IEP Live Fellows Course; the Hip and Knee IEP Live Fellows Course; the Electrophysiology IEP Live Fellows Course and the Pain Management IEP Live Fellows Course.

Kalon Staffing, LLC. is an executive search firm focused on making precision placements in specialized health and medical fields.

Young Performers Shine on L. Ron Hubbard Way

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Young members of Inner-City Shakespeare Ensemble took a break from the Bard to perform a whimsical children's play. The production, organized by the Church of Scientology Los Angeles, was part of the family-friendly summer festival held on L. Ron Hubbard Way.

This play featured children as young as 5 in vignettes based on famous children's fables and fairy tales that promote traditional morals. Characters included the Three Little Pigs with their lesson that it takes hard work and foresight to prepare for future challenges. And the Frog Prince brought home the importance of keeping promises and not judging others by their appearance.

For more than a decade, Dr. Melanie Curtis-Andrews and the Inner-City Shakespeare Ensemble have introduced inner-city youth from diverse cultural and social backgrounds to the theater through the timeless plays of William Shakespeare. But the ensemble also rocked the house this May with their performance of Grease and presents blow-away Christmas shows at the Church of Scientology yearly lighting ceremonies that launch their holiday festival and annual toy drive.

Dr. Curtis-Andrews credits L. Ron Hubbard's Study Technology for enhancing the confidence and skill of her ensemble. "People are often amazed to find that our young company can effectively perform the works of the Bard with such grace and understanding. Clearly, it is a challenge to do so with the varying educational and intellectual ability of our diverse casts. The key to our success is the use of L. Ron Hubbard's Study Tech."

L. Ron Hubbard recognized the failings of the educational system and developed an actual technology anyone can learn and use to master any subject. These educational breakthroughs are known as Study Technology. They provide students at every age and educational level with the missing ingredient of much of modern education-the ability to learn how to learn.

Following the performance, Dr. Curtis-Andrews presented the Church with a recognition of L. Ron Hubbard for his contribution to the community and his "technology that has helped millions enhance their abilities and find understanding in life and study."

"The end goal of any society as it addresses the problem of education is to raise the ability, the initiative and the cultural level, and with all these the survival level of that society," Mr. Hubbard wrote. And that is exactly what Dr. Curtis-Andrews and the Inner-City Shakespeare Ensemble do: increase the cultural and educational level of youth and help ensure a brighter future for the children in the community.

The Church of Scientology Los Angeles is an Ideal Scientology Organization, configured to service Scientologists in their ascent to spiritual freedom and serve as a home for the entire community-a meeting ground of cooperative effort to uplift people of all denominations. It was dedicated by Scientology ecclesiastical leader Mr. David Miscavige in 2010.

Scientology Church in Seattle Hosts Annual Block Party Celebrating National Night Out

SEATTLE, Wash. /ScoopCloud/ -- The Church of Scientology hosted its annual block party to celebrate National Night Out. The party featured a live band, a professional balloon artist, and a face painter for the kids. Guests age 2 to 94 were treated to hamburgers and hot dogs cooked on a mobile barbecue grill in a converted classic 1924 Model-T Ford-an annual block party tradition.

Seattle Police Department Crime Prevention supports National Night Out "to heighten crime prevention awareness, increase neighborhood support in anti-crime efforts, and unite our communities." The annual event is designed to engage neighborhoods in local crime- and drug-abuse prevention activities.

"It's important to us to work with our police department to support anti-crime and drug prevention efforts," said Rev. Ann Pearce, Director of Public Affairs for the Seattle Church. "We are members of the city's block watch program for our area. This annual block party is also a great opportunity to renew friendships and meet new neighbors."

The Church-sponsored National Night Out was one of dozens held throughout the greater Seattle area and more than 130 throughout the state.

Despite the lighthearted tone of the community get-together, drug abuse is a critical problem in Seattle. Volunteers of the local chapter of Foundation for a Drug-Free World, the Church-supported drug education and prevention initiative, set up a booth making their Truth About Drugs educational materials available free of charge to all attending.

Drug prevention is vital in light of the recent spike in overdose deaths in Seattle. Downtown Seattle Association reports: "Overdose death counts continue to rise at a startling rate in Washington state. Between September 2022 and September 2023, Washington reported a 41 percent rise in drug overdose fatalities-the steepest increase in the United States. As the most populous county in the state, King County saw the highest number of overdose deaths, a majority of them concentrated in Seattle and downtown. In 2023, overdose deaths downtown represented more than 11 percent of overdose deaths within King County."

Volunteers with the Church make these materials available broadly with seminars, conferences, at fairs, festivals and other venues across Washington state.

"Prevention and education are critical to stopping the current drug crisis," said Dave Scattergood, Seattle-based ambassador to the Foundation for a Drug-Free World who is featured in an episode of Voices for Humanity on the Scientology Network. "Not only do drugs make it easier for people to commit crimes because their judgment is altered, but they have that need to make the money to get the drugs. So, the two really go hand in hand. I want to see a world where people can live in prosperity and freedom. And you can't do that when you're addicted to drugs."

According to United Nations Office on Drug Abuse and Crime,"For every dollar spent on prevention, at least ten can be saved in future health, social and crime costs."

Noting the role substance abuse plays in the disintegration of the social fabric, Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard wrote, "Research has demonstrated that the single most destructive element present in our current culture is drugs."

The Church of Scientology Seattle is committed to working with the community to resolve this issue. The Church was dedicated by Scientology ecclesiastical leader Mr. David Miscavige in July 2010. An Ideal Scientology Organization, it is configured to service Scientologists in their ascent to spiritual freedom and serve as a home for the entire community-a meeting ground of cooperative effort to uplift people of all denominations.
