Rocking Out at a Drug-Free World Art and Music Festival at the Church of Scientology

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- The Church of Scientology Los Angeles and the local chapter of Foundation for a Drug-Free World organized a free outdoor summer concert and art show. Its purpose: to raise awareness about drugs and promote music and art as a drug-free alternative for a "natural high."

The concert featured Los Angeles-based popular acoustic-pop artist and singer/songwriter Nick Isham. Joined by a lineup of talented local musicians, Isham mixed his original songs live with his looper, combining beatboxing, guitar and vocals.

Graphic artists and photographers displayed their work along L. Ron Hubbard Way and vendors provided great food and refreshments.

The dark counterpoint to the upbeat concert and festival was the stark reality of the drug overdose epidemic affecting L.A. County and the rest of the country. The Los Angeles Times reports that despite a slight decline for the first time in a decade, more than 3,000 lost their lives to drug overdose in the county in 2023.

"I have seen firsthand how drugs destroy the lives of so many talented people," says Isham. "Drugs only hold you back. This is why I strongly advocate for kids to learn the truth about drugs. Knowing the facts, they can decide for themselves to live drug-free."

Foundation for a Drug-Free World, a volunteer-based nongovernmental organization (NGO) with a network of some 200 chapters around the world, recently earned consultative status to the United Nations.

Inspired by Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard who found drugs to be "the single most destructive element present in our current culture," Scientology Churches and Scientologists support the Foundation for a Drug-Free World, making it possible to provide its acclaimed secular drug education and prevention materials and program free of charge.

The Church of Scientology Los Angeles is an Ideal Scientology Organization. To meet the ever-growing worldwide demand for Dianetics and Scientology services as well as Church-sponsored social betterment programs, Scientology ecclesiastical leader Mr. David Miscavige personally committed to accomplishing the goal of bringing all Scientology Churches to the standard of "Ideal." Ideal Churches provide the full range of services of the Scientology religion to their parishioners and serve as a home for the entire community, a meeting ground of cooperative effort to uplift people of all denominations. Mr. Miscavige dedicated the Ideal Church of Scientology Los Angeles in 2010.

Personal Practitioners AZ Announces Use of Objective ADHD Testing Technology for Diagnosis and Treatment

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. /ScoopCloud/ -- Personal Practitioners today announces its adoption of QbTest, an objective ADHD test providing clinicians with measurable data for unbiased decision-making and support. The test, created by the global leader in ADHD testing, Qbtech, is the first FDA-cleared solution to aid clinicians when diagnosing and treating ADHD in children, adolescents, and adults.

Qbtech offers both in-clinic and telehealth testing capabilities, which are conducted with a healthcare provider. QBTest uses a high-precision infrared motion tracking system to measure motor activity down to the millimeter through a 15-20-minute computer-based test. Results are instantly analyzed and presented in a report that compares a patient's results with a group of people of the same age and sex at birth without ADHD.

"We are excited to onboard a revolutionary technology to help our clinicians better understand core ADHD symptoms," says Rebecca Blakesley, Practice Director at Personal Practitioners. "QbTest provides an opportunity to improve our care model for patients struggling with ADHD by providing objective, tangible results for a more comprehensive ADHD evaluation and treatment management program."

The data from QbTest can give clinicians additional insights into treatment effect. This gives patients access to tailored treatment faster, improving patient outcomes.

"Qbtech prides itself on providing our clinicians with industry-leading technology to treat their patients," said Tony Doyle, Commercial Director at Qbtech. "ADHD has a significant role in the current mental health crisis, and incorporating objective data into the standard treatment of care is critical for patients to be treated effectively and efficiently."

Personal Practitioners joins the growing list of nearly 10,000 clinicians globally adopting objective measures to more accurately rule in or rule out ADHD for their patients. Qbtech has administered more than 600,000 tests, with 120,000 conducted via telehealth. QBTest is available for appointment scheduling for both new and existing patients.

Promoting the Value of Drug-Free Living at the UEFA Championship Games

BERLIN, Germany /ScoopCloud/ -- For an entire month, from June 14 to July 14, Drug-Free World volunteers from Scientology Churches and Missions throughout Germany and their partners reached out to fans at the UEFA European Championship games. They promoted the importance of drug-free living and shared their drug education and prevention campaign. They reached out and encouraged everyone they met to choose the drug-free, active lifestyle that is the basis of athletic success-one particularly important in the face of alarming drug trends.

While Europe has been spared the spiraling overdose deaths opioids have caused in America and Canada, the most recent European Union Drug Agency report warns of increased availability and use of cocaine, opioids, synthetics and psychoactive substances on the continent, along with a rise in homelessness, drug-related corruption and violent crime, and the importance of countering it with evidence-based drug prevention.

The drug-prevention initiative sponsored by the Scientology Churches and Scientologists of Germany is called the Sag Nein zu Droge (Say No to Drugs) campaign of Foundation for a Drug-Free World. Over the course of a month, at stadiums throughout the country, volunteers handed out hundreds of thousands of the Foundation's Truth About Drugs booklets.

Volunteers set up stands and mobile exhibits and held impromptu concerts. They walked people through the booklets and encouraged them to sign their drug-free pledge. They shared the unvarnished truth about the most commonly used drugs one-on-one with everyone they met. And they were gratified with the response they received.

Shopkeepers were eager to take stacks of the booklets for their customers. Many commented that with increased drug use in their neighborhood, there has also been more crime. They were happy to do something effective to counter what they see as an alarming trend.

A woman asked for several copies of the booklet. She knew some of her daughter's friends had begun experimenting with drugs and the booklet gave her the confidence she needed to have a heart-to-heart talk with her daughter.

A high school student said he was concerned about major mood shifts he's seen in some of his friends who are taking drugs. Reading the booklet, he realized drugs were probably behind this change and he wanted copies to give to his classmates.

And so it went in city after city, day after day, with local residents, people from out of town, from other European countries, and enthusiasts from abroad who timed their vacations to spend the month in Germany for the games.

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."

SecuGen, TechMag, and Futura Partner Up to Help Modernize and Secure Brazilian Civil Police Procedures

SANTA CLARA, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- SecuGen Corporation, a leading provider of fingerprint biometric technology, announced a strategic partnership with Brazilian reseller partner TechMag and technological solutions developer Futura to help the Civil Police of Mato Grosso to authenticate and secure documentation produced during police inquiry processes.

Futura has developed a software solution that integrates with SecuGen's Hamster Pro 20 biometric scanning hardware, sourced by TechMag. This collaborative effort enables the police department to:

* Digitize and modernize their documentation workflows by streamlining operations, eliminating manual data entry, and improving efficiency.

* Increase security and authenticity of electronic documents by introducing robust security features, including fingerprint biometrics, to safeguard sensitive information and ensure document authenticity.

* Reduce costs, save resources, and improve processing time by eliminating paper-based processes and automating tasks.

"We are pleased to partner with Futura and TechMag to deliver this transformative solution for the Mato Grosso police department," said Jeff Brown, SecuGen's Vice President of Sales. "This solution significantly reduces operational costs for the Civil Police, estimated to be over USD 190K per year. This also allows the police to focus on their core functions with greater efficiency."

SecuGen Hamster Pro 20 scanners offer FBI-certified technology, ensuring high-quality fingerprint capture. With these scanners, the Mato Grosso Civil Police was able to introduce the digital fingerprint as an electronic signature for all documents produced during police procedures.

In addition to increasing the authenticity of documents, this approach also significantly improved operational efficiency. Now, fingerprint signatures of all parties involved in police procedures, including third parties, victims, interrogated individuals, and witnesses, can be electronically collected, reducing processing time and ensuring a robust chain of custody.

The partnership between Futura, TechMag, and SecuGen demonstrates how the application of innovative technologies can transform and modernize traditional processes, bringing tangible benefits in terms of security, efficiency, and resource savings.

Federal funds fuel quarterly growth in U.S. down payment assistance programs, which now number 2,415

ATLANTA, Ga. /ScoopCloud/ -- Down Payment Resource (DPR), the housing industry authority on homebuyer assistance program data and solutions, today released its Q2 2024 Homeownership Program Index (HPI) report. The Q2 report saw the national homebuyer assistance programs increase by 42 to 2,415 - the highest count on record. Much of this quarter's increase in program count was due to local agencies pulling more heavily from federal funding to support homebuyer assistance.

"It's very encouraging to see more state HFAs allocating American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) and US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) funds to support homeownership. We think this indicates that local municipalities are increasingly viewing affordable homeownership as a stabilizing force that fosters prosperity within communities," said Rob Chrane, founder and CEO of DPR. "We are also particularly encouraged by the rise in programs targeting first-generation homebuyers to ensure more Americans can achieve the dream of homeownership."

Key HPI Report Findings

An examination of the existing 2,415 homebuyer assistance programs on July 1, 2024, resulted in the following key findings:

* The number of U.S. homebuyer assistance programs increased by 42 quarterly. This represents a 2% increase over the previous quarter and 213 more programs than in Q2 2023.

* 29 more program providers supported homebuyer assistance in Q2 2024 than the previous quarter.

* Federally-funded programs are on the rise.

o 24 programs are now funded by the ARPA, a 26% increase from the previous quarter and a 200% increase year-over-year (YoY). The ARPA authorized $350 billion in 2021 to help state, local, and tribal governments respond to and recover from the COVID-19 pandemic. APRA-funded homebuyer assistance programs are on the rise because governments must return funds to the Treasury Department if they are not allocated by December 31, 2024, and spent by December 31, 2026.

o The number of programs funded by HHS increased by 19% quarterly and 121% annually to 31 programs. Many studies have shown that stable housing positively impacts the health of individuals and families. This understanding is likely why HHS is increasingly supporting affordable housing.

* 21 programs target first-generation buyers, a 133% increase from 9 in Q1 2024. First-generation homebuyers are less likely to receive financial assistance from their parents for a downpayment and other upfront home-buying costs. "This is a recent trend we are seeing in the past year or so that started with a few pilot programs and is now being replicated by agencies throughout the country," said Chrane.

* 970 programs allow for repeat buyers, while 1,445 are restricted to first-time buyers. "While the majority of programs are for first-time buyers, we've seen a steady uptick in the number of programs that allow for repeat buyers," said Chrane, noting that the YoY change is 11%.

A more detailed analysis of the Q2 2024 HPI findings, including infographics and examples of the programs described in this release, can be found on DPR's website at https://downpaymentresource.com/professional-resource/the-down-payment-resource-q2-2024-homeownership-program-index-report.

For a complete list of homebuyer assistance programs by state, visit https://downpaymentresource.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/HPI-state-by-state-data.Q22024.pdf.

Methodology

Published quarterly, DPR's HPI surveys the funding status, eligibility rules and benefits of U.S. homebuyer assistance programs administered by state and local housing finance agencies, municipalities, nonprofits and other housing organizations. DPR communicates with over 1,300 program providers throughout the year to track and update the country's wide range of homeownership programs, including down payment and closing cost programs, Mortgage Credit Certificates (MCCs) and affordable first mortgages, in the DOWN PAYMENT RESOURCE® database.

About Down Payment Resource:

Down Payment Resource (DPR) is the housing industry authority on homebuyer assistance program data and solutions. With a database that tracks more than 2,400 programs and toolsets for mortgage lenders, multiple listing services (MLSs) and API users, DPR helps housing professionals connect homebuyers with the assistance they need. DPR frequently lends its expertise to nonprofits, housing finance agencies, policymakers, government-sponsored enterprises and trade organizations seeking to improve housing affordability. Its technology is used by seven of the top 25 mortgage lenders, the three largest real estate listing websites and 600,000 real estate agents.

Optimal Blue Launches New Generative AI Assistant Capabilities

PLANO, Texas /ScoopCloud/ -- Optimal Blue today announced the delivery of generative AI capabilities centered on helping lenders maximize profitability on every loan transaction. Through direct engagement with its thousands of clients, the company has begun delivering generative AI capabilities built for secondary-market-specific use cases and purposefully designed to solve the real-world challenges that mortgage lenders face. The company's launch of AI assistants has initiated with the release of three new AI capabilities in Optimal Blue's CompassEdge hedging and loan trading platform.

"Optimal Blue's priority is to continuously maximize profitability for lenders on every single loan, and generative AI affords us infinite opportunities to do so," said Joe Tyrrell, CEO of Optimal Blue. "We deploy an intentional approach to developing and delivering AI assistants with machine learning capabilities that are based on actual opportunities and challenges lenders are facing. At a time when there is so much noise in the industry with companies claiming to have AI, at Optimal Blue, we are delivering true AI with the sole purpose to increase profitability for lenders, so all of these generative AI capabilities are being provided to our clients at no additional cost. We believe that core innovation shouldn't represent incremental cost, but rather should be what you expect out of your partner."

Optimal Blue Chief Technology Officer Seever Sulaiman, who has led the development and adoption of the company's AI framework, added, "We've established a foundation for implementing AI capabilities across the entire organization. Our engineering team has been trained on utilizing AI tools internally to enhance productivity. This has, in turn, positioned us to deliver AI capabilities and other value-add innovation to our clients even faster."

As part of its directed focus on AI, Optimal Blue has channeled its decades of experience and expertise to launch three new AI-powered assistants in its CompassEdge platform. These capabilities - a Profitability Assistant designed for chief financial officers (CFOs), a Projections Assistant designed for capital markets leaders, and a Trade Assistant designed for leaders of a lender's trading desk - all help lenders reduce manual processes associated with profitability attribution, calculating projections, and optimizing trade selection.

"Secondary teams are responsible for maximizing pipeline profitability and communicating results to their executive teams, but doing so is fraught with time-consuming analyses, complex calculations, and inevitable human bias," said Mike Vough, vice president of hedging and trading products at Optimal Blue. "We built the AI-powered assistants in CompassEdge with these pain points in mind so our clients can benefit from more accuracy and less manual work, all in favor of more basis points and greater profitability. We estimate that these assistants can help save a secondary marketing manager up to 30 hours a month in some instances - valuable time that can instead be channeled toward more strategic work."

The first new capability in CompassEdge, Profitability Assistant, uses generative AI to write a succinct summary of the top drivers that caused a gain or loss of profitability in a pipeline, including new locks, fallout, loan sales, bulk AOT, and more. Designed specifically for CFOs and other members of a lender's executive team, these summaries promote greater transparency between secondary and the C-suite.

Another new capability, Projections Assistant, uses AI to predict the real-time impact of various factors on the risk profile of a hedged mortgage pipeline, including originations, fallout, loan sales, and more. Otherwise requiring a seasoned capital markets professional, Projections Assistant automates the consumption of Optimal Blue's extensive data sets and completes complex calculations to deliver extremely granular projections for position management.

Finally, Trade Assistant uses AI to reduce the guesswork that goes into the selection of a hedge, a process that would otherwise require an experienced capital markets professional. With one click, the tool suggests a combination of sells, buys, rolls, and swaps to maximize effectiveness in alignment with a lender's hedge policy, while minimizing transaction cost.

All three AI assistants are available to CompassEdge users for no additional fee.

About Optimal Blue:

Optimal Blue effectively bridges the primary and secondary mortgage markets to deliver the industry's only end-to-end capital markets platform. The company helps lenders of all sizes and scopes maximize profitability and operate efficiently so they can help American borrowers achieve the dream of homeownership. Through innovative technology, a network of interconnectivity, rich data insights, and expertise gathered over more than 20 years, Optimal Blue is an experienced partner that, in any market environment, allows lenders to optimize their advantage from pricing accuracy to margin protection, and every step in between.

President Dr. Mohamed Irfaan Ali Announces Expansion of Protected Areas in Guyana at 2024 Concordia Amazonas Summit

GEORGETOWN, Guyana /ScoopCloud/ -- In a landmark announcement during the 2024 Concordia Amazonas Summit last week, President Dr. Mohamed Irfaan Ali revealed plans to double Guyana's protected areas, currently covering around 8.4% of the country's landmass, within 18 months. The announcement was made during the opening dinner of the Summit at the president's home, featuring President Dr. Mohamed Irfaan Ali along with H.E. Iván Duque, Former President of the Republic of Colombia and Chair of the Concordia Amazonas Initiative, Matthew Swift, Co-Founder, President & CEO of Concordia, and Vickram Bharrat, Minister of Natural Resources, Guyana.

President Ali reinforced the need to carry conversations on protecting biodiversity globally, highlighting Guyana's success in creating a national biodiversity strategy and its global scalability. "Guyana is committed to investing in clean energy and stimulating low-carbon growth as well as protecting our rainforest against climate change and biodiversity loss and aligning with global climate goals. It's a short timeframe but in the interest of the planet, we'll develop a model and demonstrate it can work at scale."

The initiative forms a crucial part of the second phase of the Low Carbon Development Strategy (LCDS). The plan will prioritize the country's low deforestation rates, drive innovative climate finance mechanisms, and create a new global Oscar for climate and environment to elevate worldwide awareness and focus on sustainable development. The strategy includes monetizing carbon credits to fund sustainable livelihoods in indigenous communities, exemplifying Guyana's leadership in climate action. Currently, the country has a USD 750 million contract under the carbon credit sales, with 15% of these funds going directly to indigenous villages for sustainable livelihood activities.

"Guyana exemplifies how nations can harness industry to uplift communities from poverty while championing conservation efforts in a region known for its minimal deforestation. President Ali's proactive stance underscores the imperative for inclusive, sustainable development and his vision to lead a series of countries on a large-scale biodiversity agenda, supported by market-driven mechanisms, will ensure a robust protection strategy in the short, medium, and long term. We are committed to advocating for this agenda, and making sure we are integrating the private sector into these dialogues to safeguard our national heritage in global forums such as the G20, the United Nations General Assembly, COP 30, and Concordia, ensuring it becomes a cornerstone of international dialogue," remarked President Duque.

Key areas of the LCDS 2030 include (i) investing in clean energy and stimulating low-carbon growth, (ii) protecting against climate change and biodiversity loss, and (iii) aligning with global climate goals. Within the next 18 months the government will double the total protected areas to 16%, aiming to achieve 30% by 2030.

Matthew Swift, Concordia's Co-Founder, President & CEO, stated: "President Ali's announcement marks a pivotal moment in leadership and global collaboration. With this initiative the President is setting a new precedent in climate action by developing scalable models for environmental protection at a global scale. At Concordia, we are honored to facilitate discussions that catalyze such transformative initiatives. Witnessing these commitments unfold at our Summit underscores the power of collective action in advancing biodiversity conservation and sustainable development."

In addition to President Ali's announcement, Sophia Point Rainforest Research Centre signed a landmark Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Conservation International, reinforcing Guyana's commitment to biodiversity conservation and sustainable development. Concordia, as the first international group to visit the research center, supports these initiatives through its Concordia Amazonas Initiative and environmental governance.

Nicola Green, Co-Founder & Chair of Trustees at Sophia Point, said: "We at Sophia Point are delighted to partner with Conservation International Guyana to collaborate on programs to conserve and better understand Guyana's natural resources and unique biodiversity. Our partnership will work towards achieving our mission of transforming conservation and education in Guyana and championing the Indigenous communities that have been guardians of the rainforest for generations. We were honored to have H.E Iván Duque, former President of the Republic of Columbia, and Patricia Zurika, of Conservation International, witness the signing."

From Conservation International Guyana, vice president Curtis Bernard highlighted "Guyana's approach to development with nature is novel and an emerging global touchstone in 'development done right.' We at Conservation International Guyana gladly welcome our partnership with Sophia Point and see it as an important step towards supporting the achievements of Guyana's Low Carbon Development Strategy. The LCDS requires consistent and collective action across local, national and international spaces, and Sophia Point is a significant addition in efforts to better understand and sustainably utilize Guyana's rich biodiversity."

Jason Frayser, Commissioner of the Protected Areas Commission, commented on the events: "Sophia Point is a beacon of what can be achieved when conservation and scientific inquiry are prioritized. We hope that many other places will follow this exemplary model."

William Cole Vineyards Celebrates the 25th Anniversary of Cuvée Claire

ST. HELENA, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- This fall, William Cole Vineyards a multigenerational, family-owned winery producing handcrafted wines in St. Helena, will commemorate the 25th anniversary of one of their signature wines, the Cuvée Claire Cabernet Sauvignon. Created by owner and winemaker William Ballentine Jr. in honor of his daughter, Claire, there is either a family connection or a special commemoration behind every label at William Cole Vineyards.

Proprietor William Ballentine Jr. is a fourth-generation Napa winemaker and works with son Cole Ballentine to usher every step of production from grape to glass. Farming five acres of estate vineyards and sourcing from select Napa sites, they make Cabernet, Bordeaux blends, and other small lot wines at their historic stone winery in St. Helena.

William and his wife, Jane Ballentine, acquired their ghost winery in 1999, breathing fresh spirit into the site and launching their new brand, William Cole Vineyards. Today, after twenty-five successful vintages at the winery, the wines are widely celebrated for their timeless quality, and classic appeal. The winery was built in 1873, by John and Hannah Weinberger, using stone from a quarry they owned, it was one of the first stone cellars in Napa Valley. Lovers of history, William and Jane mindfully restored the building after its purchase in 1999. They were the fourth owners of the building, and have both maintained its historic footprint, but modernized the interior to make wine, welcome visitors and entertain clients and friends. The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Prior to 1999, William was steeped in wine growing and winemaking history, following his grandfather around in the winery and his father in the vineyard. From a young age, he quickly took to the rhythm of harvest and winemaking. Cuvée Claire represented the very first wine that William made for William Cole Vineyards, inspired after the birth of his daughter Claire in 1997. An average of six hundred cases are made of this wine a year. The wine is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, spends 30-40 months in French oak, a combination of new and neutral depending on the vintage.

About William Cole Vineyards:

A family affair, William Cole Vineyards is run by proprietors William and Jane Ballentine. Their son Cole is the winemaker, daughter Claire is involved in Marketing. They have 5 acres of estate vineyards with 3 acres planted to Cabernet Sauvignon from volcanic soils flecked with Black Obsidian. They also source fruit from Howell and Spring Mountains to make an array of Napa centric wines, totaling 1,000 cases, a truly boutique project. Everything is high touch at the winery, from the nod to history in the decor, to the hand labeling, corking and sealing of bottles, by the family, the visitor gets a chance to see a side of the wine industry anchored in tradition.

National Nonprofit Petco Love Invests in Sacramento SPCA to Save and Improve the Lives of Pets in the Sacramento Region

SACRAMENTO, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- The Sacramento SPCA was awarded a $15,000 grant investment from national nonprofit Petco Love in support of their lifesaving work for animals in the Sacramento region.

Over the past several years, there has been an increase in pets entering the Sacramento SPCA's care with preexisting behavior challenges. To meet the needs of every pet and ensure they are adopted as quickly as possible, the Sacramento SPCA's Behavior and Adoptions Teams developed new programs to provide these pets with the extra support they need while in the shelter and resources they can go home with as they adjust to life with their new families.

Thanks to the lifesaving investment from Petco Love, both dogs and cats needing extra behavior support will benefit from these new programs. Funds will purchase materials for their in-shelter enrichment as well as items for an "Adoption Success Kit" that will go home with them when they are adopted.

"We are incredibly grateful for Petco Love's continued investment in our lifesaving work," said Sarah Haney, Interim Chief Executive Officer. "Their partnership will allow us to provide customized care for pets needing extra behavior support. With this initiative, the Sacramento SPCA can continue to be a resource for adopters in our community, reduce the number of pets returned to our care for behavioral reasons, and keep as many families together as possible."

Petco Love is a national nonprofit leading change for pets by harnessing the power of love to make communities and pet families closer, stronger, and healthier. Since its founding in 1999, Petco Love has invested nearly $400 million in adoption and other lifesaving efforts. And Petco Love helps find loving homes for pets in partnership with Petco and more than 4,000 organizations - like ours - across North America, with 6.8 million pets adopted and counting.

"Our investment in the Sacramento SPCA is part of more than $15M in investments recently announced by Petco Love to power local organizations across the country as part of our commitment to create a future in which no pet is unnecessarily euthanized," said Susanne Kogut, president of Petco Love. "Our local investments are only part of our strategy to empower animal lovers to drive lifesaving change right alongside us. We launched Petco Love Lost, a national lost and found database that uses patented image-recognition technology to simplify the search for lost pets."

As the only full-service 100% nonprofit animal shelter in the Sacramento region, the Sacramento SPCA relies on donations from individuals, businesses, and foundations to support their lifesaving work. They are local, independent, and not affiliated with any other SPCA or humane society, including the ASPCA. All funds stay right here in the Sacramento region - helping pets - and the people who love them - in our own communities.

LenderLogix Q2 2024 Homebuyer Intelligence Report Data Shows Home Buying Activity and Fees Collected by Fee Chaser Remain Steady Thus Far in 2024

BUFFALO, N.Y. /ScoopCloud/ -- LenderLogix, a leading provider of mortgage point-of-sale and automation software for banks, credit unions, independent mortgage banks, and brokers, today announced the latest release of the Homebuyer Intelligence Report, a quarterly summary of insights into borrower behavior during the home buying process based on data collected by the LenderLogix suite of tools. The latest report covers data collected during the pre-approval and borrower application process during the second quarter (Q2) of 2024.

Pre-Approvals

In Q2 2024, borrowers generated 58,057 pre-approval letters through LenderLogix's QuickQual pre-approval platform, an 8% increase from Q1 2024. The average number of pre-approved borrowers per loan officer increased from 25 in Q1 2024 to 29 in Q2 2024.

The average pre-approval letter loan amount slightly decreased from $309,771 in Q1 to $308,681 in Q2. However, the average sales price slightly increased from $358,175 to $362,780. The average down payment size shows a change, marginally increased from 13.6% in Q1 to 14.6%.

Conventional loans remained the most popular loan type for pre-approved borrowers, staying consistent at 76%. FHA pre-approvals increased incrementally from 17.6% to 17.8%. VA (4%) and USDA share (1%) maintained their share from Q1 to Q2 2024.

"Overall borrower activity has stayed consistent in 2024," said LenderLogix Co-Founder and CEO Patrick O'Brien. "Given these steady numbers, loan officers leveraging our products have been able to maintain steady business and origination levels. With QuickQual's conversation rate at 58% and the average per fee collection size at $646, loan officers are continuing to focus on what's working for them in the current market."

Borrower Conversion

Of the borrowers using QuickQual in Q1 2024, the average number of days between pre-approval and loan submission increased nearly 8% to 85 days compared to 78.29 days in Q1. The most prolonged duration between pre-approval and application decreased from 699 days in Q1 to 603 days. Despite this significant change, the conversion from borrowers using QuickQual to loan application increased slightly to 58% from 57% in Q1. Within this subset, borrowers generated an average of 8.7 pre-approval letters before converting.

"While the Federal Reserve's decision to hold on rate cuts until possibly later in the year may have dampened lenders' expectations, borrowers seem to have come to terms with the current state of interest rates and are committed to buying, though perhaps not to the same degree as in previous purchase cycles," O'Brien noted. "The lesson we've observed through the first half of 2024 is that there is business to be had, but lenders may need to dig deeper to find it."

Matrix Advises Pump N’ Pantry, Inc. on its Sale to United Refining Company

RICHMOND, Va. /ScoopCloud/ -- Matrix Capital Markets Group, Inc., a leading, independent investment bank, has advised Pump N' Pantry, Inc. and its affiliates (collectively, "Pump N' Pantry" or the "Company") on the sale of its convenience retail assets to United Refining Company. Headquartered in Montrose, Pennsylvania, Pump N' Pantry is a leading, regional convenience retailer, operating 14 convenience stores throughout central Pennsylvania.

Pump N' Pantry dates back to 1975 when Tom Quigg, after a successful career at Esso, purchased Seddon Lathrop Oil Company. At that time, the Company was focused on residential heating oil distribution and had just two retail fuel locations. In 1988, the legacy heating oil business was sold, and the Company rebranded as Pump N' Pantry to strategically shift toward retail operations. Scott Quigg, Tom's son, joined the Company in 1993 after having begun his career at Cumberland Farms. The pair invested in the Company throughout the 1990s, acquired additional stores, and introduced a proprietary foodservice offering in 1997. With an emphasis on pizza and deli items, Tom and Scott pushed the Company toward its current strategic focus of providing a comprehensive in-store offering. Scott purchased the Company from his father in 2001 and immediately expanded Pump N' Pantry further by acquiring six additional stores in north-central Pennsylvania. With a commitment to premium offerings, excellent service, and modernization, the Quigg family has built one of the premier convenience retail companies in Pennsylvania.

Matrix provided merger and acquisition advisory services to Pump N' Pantry, which included valuation advisory, marketing the business through a confidential, structured sale process, and negotiation of the sale. The transaction was managed by Andrew LoPresti, CFA, CPA, Vice President; Spencer Cavalier, CFA, Co-Head of Matrix's Downstream Energy & Convenience Retail Investment Banking Group; John Mickelinc, CFA, Senior Associate; and Josiah Kitching, Analyst.

Scott Quigg, CEO of Pump N' Pantry, commented, "Pump N' Pantry first engaged Matrix in 2019 for planning and valuation services. Five years later when we began the sale process, Matrix offered guidance, structure, and market knowledge while being attentive to the needs and ideas of Pump N' Pantry as a client. With the support of our team members, our communities, and our suppliers, my father and I worked to grow and evolve Pump N' Pantry for 49 years. With the help of Matrix, we have now successfully completed the job."

Mr. Cavalier added, "We were honored to work with Scott, his wife Melinda, and their talented management team, whose thoughtful growth and diligent execution created a premier regional convenience retail company. United Refining Company will be a good steward of the enterprise. We are very thankful to have served as Pump N' Pantry's advisor on this transaction."

Tammera Diehm, Noreen Sedgeman, Beth Harper, and Parth Deshmukh of Winthrop & Weinstine, P.A.; Anne Lavelle Powell of Powell & Appleton PC; and John Rodgers of Caverly, Shea, Phillips & Rodgers served as legal counsel for Pump N' Pantry.

United Refining Company was represented by John Wagner, General Counsel, and its in-house legal team.
