Patented Technology Allows Mortgage Buyers to Transact with Any Seller on MCT Marketplace

SAN DIEGO, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Mortgage Capital Trading, Inc. (MCT®), the de facto leader in innovative mortgage capital markets technology, today announced that the company has been awarded a patent for the security spread commitment used in the industry's largest mortgage asset exchange: MCT Marketplace. The security spread commitment transforms loan auctions, turning shadow bids into executable prices. Loan buyers and sellers use the security spread commitment to transact before counterparty approval, vastly increasing liquidity while giving sellers confidence in the price execution of new buyers.

"For decades industry players have imagined a time when buying a loan would be as easy as buying an item on eBay," said Phil Rasori, MCT COO and architect of the security spread commitment. "Arduous counterparty approval processes always blocked the way - but no longer. By committing to a price spread against the underlying security, buyers and sellers can confidently transact before undertaking mutual approvals. We're tremendously proud this innovation has been recognized by the U.S. Patent Office."

Through security spread commitments, any interested buyer on MCT Marketplace can make an executable bid on any mortgage loan up for auction. In the case of a buyer winning an auction from a new counterparty, the price is converted to a security spread against a mutually agreed security price. The price of this security continues to move with the market while mutual approvals are completed, routinely expediting the process from months to an average of five days. Following approval, the security spread is converted back to a fixed price and the transaction is completed. Through tools like the security spread commitment and MCT's AutoBid bid tape pricer, investors are efficiently bidding more loan collateral than ever before, and sellers are finding best execution and liquidity that would otherwise be missed.

"Gone are the days of a finite set of approved investors, not knowing who has an axe and incomplete information on who may offer the best price," said Curtis Richins, president and CEO at MCT. "MCT Marketplace is the only loan exchange where sellers can receive executable bids from unapproved buyers. Through our patented security spread commitment, MCT firmly holds its position as the gold standard in best execution and moves one step closer to the ultimate goal - when every loan can be priced by every investor."

Use cases for this groundbreaking methodology extend beyond standard whole loan trades. Security spread commitments can also be leveraged to facilitate transactions on open loans that are still being hedged in a lender's pipeline. Buyers with specific collateral targets to fulfill, such as CRA, AMI, and other specified pool obligations, can make early offers on loans in a lender's pipeline via security spread commitments.

NPA Announces New Cohort of IMPACT Fellows: Six remarkable postdocs hailing from underrepresented communities form fourth IMPACT class

BETHESDA, Md. /ScoopCloud/ -- The National Postdoctoral Association (NPA) today announced the members of its fourth class of scholars in its signature program designed to advance diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging in the postdoctoral community and beyond. The six fellows in the NPA's 2024-2025 IMPACT Fellowship Program ("IMPACT") are postdoctoral researchers representing diverse backgrounds, disciplines, and geographies.

"We are thrilled to welcome this new cohort of remarkable individuals who are not only striving to reach their full potential but committed to lift up one another along the way," commented Thomas P. Kimbis, J.D., executive director and chief executive officer of the NPA. "By strengthening themselves through the IMPACT Fellowship, they position themselves as leaders within their fields, their communities, and society."

IMPACT was launched in 2021 to empower postdoctoral scholars from underrepresented backgrounds to build skills, understand strengths, and develop networks. Competition for seats in the fourth year of the program stayed consistently strong with last year, with nearly one hundred applicants from across the country for only six positions. This year's selectees are early-career professionals in fields ranging from evolutionary biology and mechanical engineering to climate science and organizational leadership.

Fellows begin this month with a 16-month program that allows them to recognize and build upon their strengths, learn from their peers, network with experts, connect with IMPACT alums who have already completed the program, and gain additional mentors, allowing them to advance confidently in their careers. IMPACT Fellows also use the knowledge, tools, and resources they gain from the program to implement innovative activities or initiatives at their institutions that amplify the impact of the fellowship as they contribute back to home communities.

"We are just beginning to grasp the full reach and impact this program has on both IMPACT Fellows and their communities," said Caleb McKinney, Ph.D., MPS, chair of the NPA board of directors. "In the right environment, a small cohort of diverse leaders like this one builds capacity to positively affect thousands."

* NPA IMPACT Fellows, Class of 2025:

The NPA is seeking additional sponsors to support underrepresented communities of scholars, promote their own diversity goals, and advance discussion and action in areas needing critical attention.

Promoting the Magic of Hollywood with a Summer Cleanup

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Each month, Hollywood Village volunteers hold a neighborhood cleanup to keep Hollywood beautiful, safe, and clean. With visitors pouring into the city over the summer from around the world, this was not the season for the volunteers to take a vacation from their monthly initiative. Setting out from the Church of Scientology Celebrity Centre, where they pick up their trash bags, shovels and brooms, volunteers took off to clean up the neighborhood.

To welcome those arriving in the neighborhood via the famous Hollywood Freeway, one team of volunteers tackled trash that had collected on a prominent offramp. Another team took on a go-to location for paparazzi and tourists wishing to catch a glimpse of celebrities dining at its trendy bistros.

After their cleanup, volunteers invite others to Set a Good Example and Safeguard and Improve Your Environment-principles featured in The Way to Happiness, a book of common-sense values that informs the initiative. They hand out copies of the booklet to those they meet and place boxes of The Way to Happiness in local takeouts, restaurants and shops to share with their customers.

"This is a new kind of moral code," says the coordinator of the project. "It was written by author and humanitarian L. Ron Hubbard. It not only includes values common to people of all faiths and backgrounds, it even provides tools you can use to change your life. I have seen this book create miracles."

Some months, their activities include creating murals and other artistic projects. Each November, they hold a massive cleanup to show Hollywood at its best for the annual Hollywood Christmas Parade.

Anyone wishing to join the initiative is invited to do so. Hollywood Village is a partnership of the Church of Scientology, The Way to Happiness Foundation, and the Los Angeles Police Department. It has grown into a community coalition of people of all faiths, ideologies and backgrounds, working together to make Hollywood shine.

Empowering Youth and Adults with the Truth About Drugs

CITY OF MARKHAM, Ontario /ScoopCloud/ -- Each summer, thousands of visitors pour into the City of Markham, Ontario, for the Taste of Asia Festival. The vibrant event features performances, art, crafts and food representing dozens of nations from China to Japan and India to Indonesia-each unique and special. And every year since 2004, the Toronto chapter of Foundation for a Drug-Free World has reached out at the festival with its drug education and prevention campaign. Drug-Free World volunteers distribute the Foundation's acclaimed Truth About Drugs booklets, encouraging young and old to sign a pledge to live drug-free and to help families and friends make the same commitment.

As always, this year's festival was a dynamic tapestry of the best of Asian food and culture. But it played out against the stark reality of a serious threat to the lives and happiness of festival-goers from across the province. Ontario is in the midst of a drug overdose crisis. According to Drug-Free World volunteers, prevention has never been more important. City of Markham Mayor Frank Scarpitti agreed. He presented a proclamation to Foundation for a Drug-Free World volunteers, marking the city's adoption of the UN International Day Against Drug Abuse, whose motto for 2024 is The Evidence is Clear: Invest in Prevention.

"Drug abuse is very serious," said Melanie Dickson-Smith, who heads the Toronto chapter of Foundation for a Drug-Free World which is supported by the Church of Scientology Toronto. "Now more than ever, youth need to be informed of the short- and long-term effects of drugs. We are very gratified to have the support of Mayor Scarpitti and Markham City Council in raising awareness of this issue."

Foundation for a Drug-Free World is a Los Angeles-based nonprofit with consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council. Thanks to the support of Churches of Scientology and Scientologists, the Foundation makes its acclaimed secular drug education and prevention materials and programs available free of charge.

For decades, Scientologists have engaged in drug education and prevention in their communities, inspired by humanitarian and Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard, who wrote, "Research has demonstrated that the single most destructive element present in our current culture is drugs."

Reformed Gangster Disciples Boss, Harold ‘Noonie G’ Ward Hosts Citywide Voter Registration Drive During the DNC in Support of VP Kamala Harris

CHICAGO, Ill. /ScoopCloud/ -- Chicago street legend and former Gangster Disciple boss, Harold Ward aka "Noonie G," is throwing his support behind Vice President Kamala Harris for President with a citywide voter registration event! The "Noonie G She's Got Our Vote" voter registration drive will be held Sunday, August 18, a day before the Democratic National Convention, from noon to 6 p.m. at Visions Odeum and Events, a venue nestled in one of Chicago's most historic facilities at 11901 S. Loomis St.

Popular radio personality Howard McGee and DJ legends Geo and Maurice "ICE" Culpepper on the ones and the twos, will be on hand to provide musical entertainment. Ward is calling on and calling out all his celebrity and political friends to attend and get involved!

As a former high-ranking member of the Gangster Disciples (GD), Ward is a well-respected community leader with strong ties in hip hop. His days of reigning terror are far behind him as he now positively impacts society as an author, political figure, businessman, gang mediator and role model. As a former felon, his support of Vice President Kamala Harris is a bold and controversial statement.

"I'm witnessing Kamala Harris being unfairly villainized by not only the opposing political party but also by some of us in my own community. I understand more than anyone how people are quick to not only hold your past against you, but also make up lies about you. For the first time in history, we have the opportunity to vote for a Black woman as president and I feel compelled to do my part to get 'the streets' involved. We're going to make sure that everyone in our communities, including former felons, understand their voting rights, are registered and get out to vote! This is not a time to sit on the sideline, our participation can be a defining point in history," cites Ward.

"When GD founder, Larry Hoover changed the direction of our organization to Growth and Development, I personally took on his mission to redirect the streets. Yes, Vice President Harris is a former criminal prosecutor but what many don't realize is that her heart is with the people. Our ancestors fought for more Black prosecutors, DA's and judges because they knew many of the biased old men in those positions didn't see us as humans. Speaking as a former felon, I can appreciate that Harris' legacy Back on Track reentry initiative has been instrumental in impacting the work I do in aiding former offenders in securing training, employment and stability as a means of crime prevention in our communities," he adds.

Ward further states, "VP Kamala Harris is running against a man that called for innocent young Black kids to be executed but now that he's a convicted felon, he claims the system is rigged against wealthy White men. We still have innocent young men locked up over a year that haven't been found guilty but can't afford bail. Trump certainly can't relate to a system rigged against you. People in the communities I serve will benefit from programs that VP Harris supports, programs that help you get ahead. So, the 'Noonie G She's Got Our Vote' voter registration drive will make sure people in the streets, including former felons, use their power and voice in this fight for democracy. Black women made the first call to action on behalf of Vice President Harris, then Black men followed. White women answered the call and now former felons are stepping up to answer the call!"

Harold "Noonie G" Ward's own personal story is an inspirational tale. The former gang leader has dedicated his path toward making a way for others to follow. Political prisoner and founder of the Gangster Disciples, Larry Hoover, hand-picked Noonie Ward to implement a new direction of change and betterment for the community at large.

Utilizing hip hop as his vehicle, he has garnered a list of noteworthy accomplishments to his credit over the years. Ward actively engages the efforts and support of several hip-hop luminaries. As an author, Ward is preparing to release his third title, "Gangstanomics II: Prisonomics," with a brief contribution by 50 Cent and free song track release, "Money In My Hand" produced by Ye (Kanye West), featuring Trey Songz, Dwele, and Twista inside the book. Noonie's behind the scenes street maneuverings were also instrumental in the success of the Ye and Drake's "Free Larry Hoover" benefit concert in Los Angeles.

Some of Ward's early accomplishments include running for local political offices, working with President Barack Obama as an activist in Altgeld Gardens and organizing Chicago's first National Gang Summit for Peace attended by Russell Simmons, the late NFL legend Jim Brown and Minister Louis Farrakhan.

To get involved with support and contributions for the "Noonie G She's Got Our Vote" voter registration drive, leave a message for Harold 'Noonie G' Ward at (312) 612-0713 or email noonied17@gmail.com.

The UN Acknowledges Foundation for a Drug-Free World With Consultative Status

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- The UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs has granted the Foundation for a Drug-Free World consultative status to the UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC).

This new status enables the Foundation to share decades of experience and expertise with those most dedicated to implementing effective drug prevention. Drug-Free World can now organize conferences and participate in events at the UN in Geneva, Vienna and New York.

"On behalf of all Drug-Free World chapters and millions of drug-prevention volunteers in countries around the world, we would like to express our appreciation for this recognition," said Foundation for a Drug-Free World Executive Director Jessica Hochman. "We pledge to not only continue our commitment but to redouble our efforts to bring about a drug-free world."

Each June, the UN issues its annual World Drug Report along with a theme for the year's activities. This year's message aligns exactly with the purpose and activities of the Foundation and its acclaimed drug education materials: "The evidence is clear: invest in prevention."

"We congratulate the Foundation for a Drug-Free World International and its volunteers, partners and supporters," said Olivia McDuff of the Church of Scientology International Public Affairs Office.

Thanks to the support of Churches of Scientology and Scientologists, the Foundation makes these acclaimed secular materials and programs available free of charge.

For decades, Scientologists have engaged in drug education and prevention in their communities, inspired by humanitarian and Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard, who wrote, "Research has demonstrated that the single most destructive element present in our current culture is drugs."

MCT Reports a 6% Mortgage Lock Volume Decrease in Latest Report

SAN DIEGO, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Mortgage Capital Trading, Inc. (MCT®), the de facto leader in innovative mortgage capital markets technology, announced today a decrease of 5.67% in mortgage lock volume compared to the previous month. Industry professionals and enthusiasts are invited to download the complete report for comprehensive insights into the market dynamics.

Mortgage lock volume over the past eight weeks has continued to trend downward. This trend is consistent with a decrease in supply as we progress through the summer.

Looking ahead, the trend is expected to continue into the next month. Even as rates gradually decrease, many potential buyers may be holding off in anticipation of potentially better rates later in the year.

Additionally, a potential September rate cut has already been priced into the market, suggesting that if the Federal Reserve does cut rates in their September meeting, it may have little effect on mortgage rates.

Andrew Rhodes, Senior Director, Head of Trading at MCT, states, "Today's Nonfarm payroll report came in below expectations along with a higher than expected unemployment rate. If this trend continues, it is looking very likely the Federal Reserve will cut rates in their September meetings."

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.

Cooking with Bears? Cottage Cooking in Asheville Does It

ASHEVILLE, N.C. /ScoopCloud/ -- While it may not happen all the time, there have been several instances when Cottage Cooking, a cooking class business in Asheville, North Carolina, has guests who are treated to a real show. Most recently, a family of four bears - a mama and her three teenagers - decided to take a long family nap in the business' backyard.

"We like to joke that we have some of the best trash on the street," John Godts, co-owner, Cottage Cooking, says. "Our 'Elegant Evening Out' class is one of the bears' favorite times to visit as salmon is the main course."

Cottage Cooking has been in business for more than nine years and it enjoys a variety of guests - both tourists and locals alike. The business offers about 20 different menus from which to choose and many are "bear-friendly."

Liisa Andreassen, Cottage Cooking's other owner, says the bears also like to sniff around after the New Orleans' jambalaya class.

"Apparently, those shrimp shells are quite irresistible," she says.

The couple has managed to bearproof their cans and it works - for the most part. Occasionally, the bears do manage to team up and get their paws on something tasty. And after a nibble, they like to take a little nap.

"Our guests love the unusual dimension that our Asheville bears bring to the class cooking class activities - as long as they eat inside," she laughs. "The guests that is!"

Watch a video here that showcases the Cottage Cooking property and the interesting spots where the bears can let it all hang loose: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8mm0l-RLD4&t=29s

About Cottage Cooking:

Cottage Cooking can host up to six in their cottage-style home in North Asheville and they will also go off site to people's homes and Airbnb's for larger groups of up to 12, so people can host their own cooking class.

"It's a fun alternative to a dinner party," Andreassen adds.

Cooking classes are designed for the home cook and a typical class includes an appetizer, main course and dessert. There's also a weekend morning baking class once to twice a month. These classes make for a great date night or ladies' night out.

The company has built a reputation in the business for hosting fun bachelorette parties and family reunions. In addition to a schedule which can be found on their website, they'll also design custom dates and menus as requested.

Classes range from $85 to $125 and private classes for two are $300. All classes are BYOB. Gift certificates are also available.

SET Enterprises launches 340b covered entity suspicious purchase identification service for pharmaceutical and biological manufacturers

PHOENIX, Ariz. /ScoopCloud/ -- SET Enterprises (set-enterprises.com), a leading independent management consulting firm serving the government pricing compliance needs of life sciences manufacturers, today announced the launch of SPI340B℠. This new service offering identifies specific 340B covered entities that exhibit suspicious purchasing patterns that suggest the entire volume of products purchased from pharmaceutical and biotechnology manufacturers may not be dispensed solely to eligible patients of the covered entity. 340B entities are required to dispense covered outpatient drugs only to a person who is a patient of the entity and are specifically prohibited from reselling the drug to another entity. Reselling discounted 340B drugs or dispensing to a non-patient is known as diversion.

The Health Resource and Services Administration (HRSA) is the governmental agency with oversight of the 340B program. From 2012-2020, HRSA conducted 1,242 audits of 340B covered entities. HRSA found 546 entities that diverted products to non-patients (44.0% of the total) [United States Government Accountability Office report (GAO-21-107), December 2020]. So, the challenge becomes, which 340B covered entities are more likely to be diverting product and should be singled out for further investigation. That is where SET Enterprises' SPI304B℠ comes in. Using proprietary algorithms and models developed working with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), SET's SPI340B℠ service combs through the manufacturer's direct and indirect sales data looking for specific purchasing patterns that signal evidence of a diversionary buying pattern.

These suspicious purchasing patterns were first identified working with the DEA to search for retail pharmacies that were reselling Schedule 2 narcotics on the street. The results were so successful at identifying diversion, the DEA required all of the largest wholesalers to submit their sales data of Schedule 2 narcotics to be monitored for suspicious purchasing activity. SET Enterprises was engaged by a top ten pharmaceutical manufacturer to uncover why chargeback discounts exceeded sales on a deeply discount product sold to doctor's offices. Using enhanced DEA suspicious order monitoring algorithms and models, SET discovered the product was being diverted by physician's offices back to wholesalers to be resold. Further, SET identified which wholesalers were purchasing the product illegally and which specific customers were purchasing the product at a discount, then reselling the product (diversion) back to wholesalers to be resold again generating additional (excessive) chargeback discounts.

What makes product diversion particularly attractive for 340B covered entities is the differential between the price they pay for the product and how much they are reimbursed upon dispensing the product. This pricing spread can be significant as reported by the Community Oncology Alliance which found that "340B hospitals' own self-reported pricing data reveals that they price the top oncology drugs at 4.9 times their 340B acquisition costs" [Examining 340B Hospital Price Transparency, Drug Profits, and Incentives, September 2022]. In many cases, the manufacturers are required to sell 340B products at $0.01 per unit, in which case virtually the entire reimbursement is spread. Instead of guessing who the potential 340B bad actors are, SPI340BSM provides manufacturers with a targeted list of 340B entities whose purchasing patterns signal a greater likelihood of product diversion. This knowledge can significantly increase a manufacturer's ability to reduce revenue leakage with minimal investments.

ABOUT SET ENTERPRISES:

SET Enterprises (S•E•T Enterprises) has been working with large pharmaceutical and vaccine manufacturers for the past 30 years improving their government pricing compliance, automating their pricing calculations, auditing their price submissions, integrating their commercial pricing strategies with the impact on their required regulatory pricing and optimizing their portfolio contracting and pricing strategies.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- Dark Matter Technologies (Dark Matter), an innovative leader in mortgage technology backed by time-tested loan origination software and leadership, today announced that Craig Rebmann, its product evangelist, has been named a 2024 HW Insider. Now in its ninth year, the HW Insiders program recognizes talented operations professionals laying the foundation of success for their organizations.

He accompanies sales engineers on product demos, delving into lenders' business models and challenges to provide a consultative experience.

During his tenure leading product, Rebmann's notable accomplishments include bringing to market automated, task-based workflows that transform back-office productivity (also known as the Orchestration Engine); building out a more robust integration with the Exchange integration hub; and developing correspondent lending functionality within Empower.

"We are fortunate to have Craig guiding development decisions. His lengthy experience with Empower provides us with valuable insight to help Dark Matter's product and technology specialists identify the needs of customers and match them with the right solutions," said Dark Matter CEO Rich Gagliano.

Nelson Mandela Day Celebration 2024: Honoring the Father of Peace in South Africa

LONDON, England /ScoopCloud/ -- Community and religious leaders gathered at the Church of Scientology London to celebrate International Nelson Mandela Day 2024, a day to honor the courage and persistence of the man who unified the Rainbow Nation and his commitment to equality, justice and freedom for all.

Imprisoned for 27 years for his active resistance and militant protest against apartheid, Mandela never stopped working and planning for peace. On his release from jail, Mandela demonstrated true character by forgiving his oppressors and uniting the racially divided country. He set an enduring example of peace and reconciliation for the world.

The Mandela Day event at the Church of Scientology of London featured a broad panorama of the diverse cultural and ethnic communities that call England home, from traditional Londoners to those hailing from Latin America, Yemen, India, Columbia, and Africa. The speeches and musical presentations were inspirational. And archival footage of Mandela addressing the United Nations truly crowned the celebration.

Tracey Coleman, Community Affairs Director for the Church of Scientology London, introduced those attending to the human rights educational materials of United for Human Rights and its program for young people, Youth for Human Rights. These acclaimed booklets and videos educate young and old on the 30 articles of the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights. United for Human Rights is a nonprofit, international education program. Its aim is to create a sea change by teaching people everywhere the inalienable rights enshrined in the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR).

In his autobiography, Long Walk to Freedom, published in 1994, Mandela wrote: "No one is born hating another person because of the colour of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite."

It is in that very belief that the Church of Scientology and Scientologists worldwide sponsor United for Human. They are inspired by humanitarian and Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard who believed that "human rights must be made a fact, not an idealistic dream." This support makes it possible for United for Human Rights to provide these materials free of charge to anyone wishing to use them to educate others on the UDHR.

The Church of Scientology London is an Ideal Scientology Organization, providing the full services of the Scientology religion to its parishioners and to the community. It was dedicated in 2006 by Scientology ecclesiastical leader Mr. David Miscavige.

Restrictive Policies Contribute to California’s Low Construction Employment Ranking

SACRAMENTO, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- The construction unemployment rate in California stands at 3.9% through June 2024. While this marks a decrease in a year, a deeper review of the numbers shows that only 7 states have seen their unemployment rates improve slower than California, according to a state-by-state analysis of U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data released today by the Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC). "While the industry is pleased with a relatively low unemployment rate, we wonder how much lower it could be if we simply adopted policies consistent with the rest of the nation," said John Morris, President and CEO, ABC Northern California Chapter (ABC NorCal).

California's ranking in the bottom 15% of the nation is reflective of the state's regulatory complexities and policies which increase project costs and reduce opportunities for more construction projects and economic growth. The analysis by ABC underscores the critical need to address the policies contributing to California's low position relative to the rest of the country.

Morris added, "California policies like project labor agreements and the frivolous lawsuits imposed by the California Environmental Quality Act reduce the amount of construction projects and increase the unemployment rate of skilled trades workers. ABC NorCal is committed to working with industry leaders and policymakers to create solutions that will enhance career opportunities and overall economic growth while reducing our state's deficit and unemployment rates."

ABC is the voice of the construction industry in Northern California, representing over 83,000 workers.

Festival on L. Ron Hubbard Way Empowers the Honduran Community

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- More than 1,000 attended the first Honduran Fair for Entrepreneurs, held in East Hollywood earlier this month on L. Ron Hubbard Way. It was organized by the Honduras Consulate and hosted by the Church of Scientology Los Angeles with the purpose:

* To provide a venue for Honduran businesses to promote their products and services

* To furnish a job exchange and information on consular services, free health care and legal resources

* To build stronger relationships within the Honduran diaspora

* And to keep the culture, food, and traditions of Honduras alive.

The Festival provided a venue for some 50 Honduran entrepreneurs to promote their merchandise and services.

Ballet Folklorico HULA and the Children's Folkloric Ballet performed Honduran dances in traditional costumes, and the Punta Mania band entertained the crowd with the unique sounds of the Afro-Indigenous Garifuna people of the region.

A children's area included bouncy castles, inflatable games, traditional Honduran games and toys, along with ice cream, popcorn and cotton candy.

La Prensa described the festival as "a milestone in the integration and support of the Honduran diaspora in Los Angeles," and the consul general announced her plan to hold the fair twice a year in the same location. The Church of Scientology of Los Angeles will host the fairs as a service to the community.

The Church believes in preserving and honoring the languages, religions, and heritage of those living in L.A. County, a region of great diversity, with residents from some 140 nationalities speaking at least 80 different languages.

The Church of Scientology Los Angeles is an Ideal Scientology Organization, providing the full services of the Scientology religion to its parishioners and to the community. Scientology ecclesiastical leader Mr. David Miscavige dedicated the Church of Scientology Los Angeles in 2010. Since then, the Church has become known as a home for the entire community, a meeting ground of cooperative effort to uplift people of all denominations.

Church of Scientology Forum on the Need for Sustainability

COPENHAGEN, Denmark /ScoopCloud/ -- At a community open house and forum organized by the Church of Scientology of Denmark and the local chapter of The Way to Happiness Foundation, guest speakers of diverse backgrounds shared their passion for nature, biodiversity, and sustainability.

An environmental project manager who operates under the Copenhagen Municipality spoke of her passion for urban green development. She explained the best plants for greening a city, what roses best promote insect survival and actions anyone may take to help create green oases-even in the center of town.

Next, a biodiversity expert made his passion clear by sharing his slogan: "Bee Engaged." His presentation brought home that the well-being of bees and other insects is vital to the survival of all life on Earth. In Europe, some 78 percent of native flora and 84 percent of crops are either partially or fully dependent on insects for pollination. Attendees were eager to learn about and participate in his upcoming projects.

The third guest speaker runs an organic farm and riding school in North Zealand. "There are no compromises when it comes to animal welfare," she said. Her unique approach to training people to ride and care for horses includes helping them learn to control the horses through communication, body movement, and clear intention rather than force.

The event was held in coordination with the Copenhagen chapter of The Way to Happiness Foundation, whose mission is to reverse society's moral decay by restoring trust and honesty through widespread distribution of The Way to Happiness, a common-sense guide to better living written by author and humanitarian L. Ron Hubbard. One precept of The Way to Happiness is "Safeguard and improve your environment."

The Church of Scientology Denmark 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 in May 2017 by Scientology ecclesiastical leader Mr. David Miscavige.

Championing Environmental Change: California Safe Schools Fosters Collaboration and Innovation

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- California Safe Schools (CSS) celebrates their 26th annual pioneering "Your Life Is Now" Forum which brings together students, members of the public, local, state and federal government. "The importance of bringing together community leaders with regulatory and enforcement agencies and government officials has shown over time to have enormous value in solving environmental issues in communities," said Robina Suwol, California Safe Schools Executive Director.

"We are excited about California Safe Schools 26th Anniversary October celebration that continues this networking forum and its mentoring of youth who aspire to become the new generation of leaders."

26 years ago, California Safe Schools (CSS) was founded by Robina Suwol with a mission to protect children on school sites from ever being exposed to pesticides. To ensure this vision, CSS spearheaded the Los Angeles Unified School District Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Policy, the most stringent pesticide policy in the nation for K-12 public schools and the first to embrace the "Precautionary Principle" and "Right to Know." Today, Los Angeles Unified School District's IPM policy serves as a national and international model for school districts and communities.

The policy's success also led to California's Healthy Schools Act in 2000 and AB 405 (Montanez), sponsored by California Safe Schools. It is a critical bill that bans experimental pesticides, whose health effects are unknown, from California K-12 public schools. As a result, more than 6 million California school children and hundreds of thousands of teachers and school employees are protected from experimental chemicals.

"California Safe Schools is a brave voice fighting for health and safety for our children and against toxic chemicals, harmful pesticides, and polluted air in and around our schools. From the front lines in communities to the halls of Sacramento, Robina is a tireless voice for our children. Congratulations on twenty-six years of leadership in the fight to make the world a better place!" said Angela Johnson Meszaros, Senior Attorney, Community Partnerships Program - Earthjustice.

CSS is committed to its mission of protecting children from toxic environmental exposures because they are the most vulnerable to lifelong health impacts as their bodies and minds are still growing.

CSS continues to be a leader for children's environmental health through numerous projects at both the grassroots and policy level, prioritizing environmental justice areas overburdened by pollutants.

Current CSS programs include creating awareness to reduce and eliminate:diesel idling emissions; lead; household hazardous waste; perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) ubiquitous in food packaging, clothing carpets, cookware and paints; and establish the use of beneficial pests such as ladybugs instead of pesticides in school garden programs.
