Dark Matter Technologies enhances the Empower LOS with native support for mortgage assumptions

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 enhancements to the Loan Assumptions feature in the Empower® loan origination system (LOS) that make it easier for mortgage lenders and servicers to transfer assumable mortgages to new homebuyers. The Empower LOS is the first mortgage loan origination system to announce native support for loan assumptions, a feat made possible by the system's flexibility and robust mortgage servicing platform integrations.

An assumable mortgage is a type of home loan that allows the transfer of the original borrower's loan - including the remaining balance, repayment schedule and interest rate - to a new homeowner. Although conventional loans are seldom assumable, loans from the Federal Housing Authority (FHA), Veterans Affairs (VA), and U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) - products that account for more than one in five active loans today - can be assumed if certain conditions are met.

Typically, buyers must qualify under the loan's criteria, and sellers need to obtain approval from their loan servicer. The Empower LOS supports the process whether initiated by the seller's mortgage servicer or the buyer's mortgage originator and can even work with financial institutions that use a different LOS provider for first-lien origination.

Mortgage assumptions are gaining popularity in today's purchase mortgage market, where buyers often face interest rates that are higher than the seller's existing rate. The FHA recently announced it will adjust the maximum fee mortgagees may charge to process these loans from $900 to $1,800. Scheduled to go into effect on August 19, the change was made to support increased consumer demand by compensating mortgagees "at a rate that is appropriate for today's market."

"After successfully piloting our loan assumption capability with a select group of early adopters, we're incredibly pleased with the progress, success and the general availability of this important feature that consumers and real estate agents are increasingly asking for by name," said Dark Matter CEO Rich Gagliano. "By partnering with Dark Matter, mortgage originators and servicers can transfer assumable mortgages for home buyers and sellers in a manner that is compliant and efficient."

Operating with the nimble nature of a startup and the disciplined maturity of one of the industry's leading providers, Dark Matter Technologies delivers cutting-edge technology, unparalleled automation and relentless innovation to leading mortgage lenders and companies nationwide.

The 12th Zaragoza Awards Pay Tribute to the Courage, Achievements and Heritage of the Los Angeles Mexican Community

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- The 12th Zaragoza Awards was hosted by the Church of Scientology Celebrity Centre in Hollywood for a celebration of Cinco de Mayo organized by Mr. Pedro Ramos, president of the L.A.-based nonprofit UPEXT, Union de Poblanos en el Exterior (Union of People from Puebla Living Abroad).

Cinco de Mayo is a day of pride and unity, honoring the Mexican community's rich cultural traditions and its enduring spirit of resilience against adversity. It holds a special significance for those hailing from the state of Puebla. The award takes its name from General Ignacio Zaragoza, who secured Mexico's future by leading 2,000 Mexican soldiers to victory against 6,000 invading French troops at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862.

Cinco de Mayo has become a symbol of tenacity and courage - a powerful reminder of the strength and perseverance that characterizes the Mexican-American community.

The celebration included a performance of the play Cinco de Mayo-an American Tradition by Dr. David Hayes-Bautista.

The Zaragoza Awards ceremony honored Mexican Americans selected for their leadership and outstanding service in the fields of immigration, public service, communications, education, business, sports and culture. Each awardee succeeded despite great challenges in the courageous spirit of General Zaragoza.

UPEXT is dedicated to helping the Los Angeles Mexican migrant community face and prevail over the many challenges of living far from home. They contend with a different language and culture and often face economic hardships, and limited access to healthcare and education. UPEXT is also dedicated to reuniting families. It has brought together more than 550 families by helping secure visitor visas for parents and grandparents who, in many cases, have not seen their children or grandchildren for decades. It also organizes programs to assist with social services and to promote pride in the culture and heritage of Puebla.

Scientology Churches of Los Angeles, including the Church of Scientology Celebrity Centre, the Church of Scientology Los Angeles, and the Church of Scientology of the Valley, work with UPEXT and Mr. Ramos in support of the human rights, culture and values of the Los Angeles Latinx communities. The Church is deeply committed to the rights of all, inspired by L. Ron Hubbard, who believed that "human rights must be made a fact, not an idealistic dream."

ALLENDALE, N.J. /ScoopCloud/ -- Doherty Enterprises-owned Applebee's® Neighborhood Grill & Bar restaurants in New Jersey announced today the winners of their 8th annual "Above and 'BEE'yond Teacher Essay Contest."

Voices for Humanity Is Rockin’ the Truth About Drugs with Dave Scattergood

SEATTLE, Wash. /ScoopCloud/ -- Scientology Network's VOICES FOR HUMANITY, the weekly series presenting heroic change makers from a variety of faiths, cultures and nations, working to uplift their communities, announces a new episode featuring anti-drug activist Dave Scattergood, premiering May 29, 2024.

VOICES FOR HUMANITY airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Scientology Network.

Washington was the first state to legalize the sale of marijuana for recreational use. In the aftermath of that legislation, drug-related crimes, drug overdose deaths and suicides (where toxicology tests indicated marijuana use) soared. Dave Scattergood understood clearly the tragedies that awaited young people who were not made aware of the true dangers of drugs. In turn, he partnered with the Foundation for a Drug-Free World, delivering the truth about drugs to help reverse the trend ushered in with the legalization of cannabis. Dave has been honored for his work educating over 300,000 people in the Seattle area on the devastating impact of drugs.

ABOUT DAVE SCATTERGOOD

Born and raised in Seattle, Washington, Dave Scattergood discovered his passion for drumming at a young age. He went on to play in rock bands during the heyday of Seattle's grunge scene. While he sidestepped drug use, he witnessed the devastating impact it had on some of Seattle's brightest talents. Later, after the tragedies accelerated with legalization of recreational marijuana, he grew concerned about his own kids being misled down the path of drug use. It was a "call-to-arms moment," and he fought back by partnering with the Foundation for a Drug-Free World and educating kids on the real dangers of drugs. Today, Dave works with schools, government and civic institutions to bring the Truth About Drugs to Seattle's youth.

Dave Scattergood is the coordinator for the Foundation for a Drug-Free World in Washington.

The Scientology Network debuted on March 12, 2018. Since launching, the Scientology Network has been viewed in over 240 countries and territories in 17 languages. Satisfying the curiosity of people about Scientology and Founder L. Ron Hubbard, 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.

Scientology Network's innovative content has been recognized with more than 125 industry awards, including Tellys, Communitas and Hermes Creative Awards.

Meet a Scientologist Showcases Top Brass With Virtuoso Trombonist Gianluca Scipioni

LOS ANGHELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Scientology Network's MEET A SCIENTOLOGIST, the weekly series spotlighting the everyday lives of Scientologists from around the world and all walks of life, announces an episode featuring professional classical trombonist Gianluca Scipioni, premiering May 28, 2024.

MEET A SCIENTOLOGIST airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Scientology Network.

Gianluca Scipioni is a professional trombone player whose love for classical music shines through every note he plays. As principal trombonist for the esteemed Royal Theatre in Turin, Italy, and as part of one of the most successful brass quintets in the world, Gomalan Brass, his trombone regularly rings out from the stages of prestigious Italian and European concert halls.

ABOUT GIANLUCA SCIPIONI

A native of Rome, Gianluca Scipioni's mother enrolled him in music school at the age of nine. But it wasn't until high school that he discovered the instrument that would inspire him to pursue a career in music - the trombone. Forgoing college to study with some of the world's leading brass virtuosi, he turned professional in his early 20s, performing with the RAI National Symphony Orchestra and at the Teatro alla Scalla. But his dream of finding a permanent home with an orchestra was, he felt, unrealized due to a persistent case of "audition nerves." And despite nailing his audition to become principal trombonist with the Royal Theatre in Turin, he still had unexplained fears about his future.

After reading "Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health" and receiving Dianetics counseling, he conquered his fears, going on to achieve success and stability.

With his newfound courage, he expanded his career by joining fellow world-class brass players to form Gomalan Brass, an Italian brass quintet that mixes virtuosity with humor. Their immensely entertaining and innovative renditions of classical pieces have introduced new generations to the genre.

Today, he continues to perform with Gomalan Brass and the Royal Theatre, fulfilling his purpose to uplift others through music.

The Scientology Network debuted on March 12, 2018. Since launching, the Scientology Network has been viewed in over 240 countries and territories in 17 languages. Satisfying the curiosity of people about Scientology and Founder L. Ron Hubbard, 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. Scientology Network's innovative content has been recognized with more than 125 industry awards, including Tellys, Communitas and Hermes Creative Awards.

Institute Founder Credits Youth for Human Rights for the Vision That Informs Her Life’s Work

WASHINGTON, D.C. /ScoopCloud/ -- From the playgrounds of a ghetto neighborhood in Romania to the halls of the United Nations, Isabelle Vladoiu's journey has been driven by a single compelling force: the pursuit of justice and human dignity. But it was not until she took part a UN Summit organized by United for Human Rights that the underlying theme in her life's work crystallized. This experience ultimately led to her founding the U.S. Institute of Diplomacy and Human Rights, a top-rated nonprofit think tank.

Born just after the fall of a totalitarian regime in Romania, Vladoiu's life was overshadowed by the enduring fear of government oppression and the stark inequities of post-communist society. "Raised by my grandparents in the tumultuous aftermath of communism, my childhood was steeped in an environment where fear and suppression were the norms," she says. "My parents, like many during the post-communist era, left Romania to seek work abroad and never returned, a common narrative of family fragmentation and economic desperation."

Moving to Bucharest at 19 to study law with nothing but a scholarship and a dream of a better life, Vladoiu found purpose in supporting humanitarian causes. Then five years later, accepted into a master's program in law at the University of Buffalo, New York, she left Romania to forge a new life in America.

"However, it was in June 2016 that my life took a pivotal turn," she says.

Nearing the completion of her master's degree and deep in bar exam preparation, Vladoiu's undying passion for human rights propelled her to seek a broader platform for her advocacy.

"I applied to represent my new home country at one of the highest forums for human rights dialogue-the Youth for Human Rights International Summit at the United Nations headquarters in New York," she says. "Chosen from thousands of hopefuls, I was one of only 70 young people from across the globe granted the honor to participate in this prestigious event. The opportunity was staggering. At the summit, I stood before an assembly of over 400 attendees, including UN officials, Nobel Prize laureates, and global policy-makers, sharing my journey and the human rights causes close to my heart."

That day, as she spoke of justice and human dignity, Vladoiu realized her participation in this summit marked a striking new beginning - a lifelong commitment to human rights advocacy.

She went on to empower local educators and community leaders in Buffalo to integrate human rights education into their curricula and community programs.

Moving to Washington, D.C., she founded the U.S. Institute of Diplomacy and Human Rights (USIDHR) in 2019. She uses the educational materials of United for Human Rights, one of the world's most comprehensive human rights education and public information initiatives.

"The stark statistic that 258 million children worldwide were out of school fueled my resolve. USIDHR was my answer to providing those children with their fundamental human right to education," she says.

With USIDHR, Vladoiu's role evolved dramatically from the grassroots activities that marked her years in Buffalo to engaging at the highest levels of global diplomacy.

"This transition was not just a step up," she says, "it was a leap into a realm where my voice and our mission could resonate on a global stage. Presidents of states began inviting me to their countries, recognizing the impact and potential of USIDHR's initiatives to reshape their societies. Governments from around the world started sending delegates to our training programs, eager for them to absorb the comprehensive human rights education we offered so they could return home to implement meaningful reforms."

Youth for Human Rights continues its work to inspire young human rights advocates to create a fair and equitable world. The next annual Youth Summit at the UN takes place July 18-20, 2024.

The Church of Scientology and Scientologists support United for Human Rights and its program for young people Youth for Human Rights. These nonprofits aim to create a sea change by teaching young people everywhere their inalienable rights, thus creating an entire generation of leaders who will demand full implementation of the 30 UDHR articles. United for Human Rights is inspired by humanitarian and Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard who believed that "human rights must be made a fact, not an idealistic dream."

Human Rights Group Marches in Protest to Demand RANZCP End Dangerous Coercive Psychiatric Practices as Advised by the World Health Organization and the UN

CANBERRA, Australia /ScoopCloud/ -- Scores of protesters marched on the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists (RANZCP) Annual Congress in Canberra to demand it end its support of electroshock treatment, psychiatric restraints, forced drugging, and involuntary detainment. The protest was organized by Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR), a mental health industry watchdog founded in 1969 by the Church of Scientology. CCHR demands a complete ban on coercive and dangerous psychiatric practices, citing their harmful effects on the vulnerable.

Canberrans were invited to attend CCHR's "Psychiatry: An Industry of Death Exhibit," open daily in Canberra from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. through 24 May. The free exhibit exposes the history of psychiatry from its dark beginnings in the Bedlam Psychiatric Hospital in England through to the present, highlighting the grievous harm it causes patients.

At the exhibit's opening, Lloyd Wyles, an Indigenous Australian and retired senior radio producer and broadcaster from Northern Queensland, spoke of psychiatry's role in the white Australia policy and South Africa's apartheid. The exhibit documents how psychiatry fostered racism by inventing and promoting the pseudoscience of "eugenics," resulting in the forced sterilization of Indigenous people and people of color.

Those who do not act to rid society of psychiatry, he said, are just as guilty as the practicing psychiatrist. If we do not take action, we could lose our entire civilization.

Stuart Richardson, a Christian minister from Restitution, Mind, Body and Soul Ministries, also spoke at the Exhibit's opening. He became aware of the dangers of psychiatry when he was detained involuntarily when he was younger. He spoke of letting people know there are alternatives to harmful psychiatric drugs and stressed the importance of finding the real cause of the problem including medical check-ups, diet, sleep and exercise.

RANZCP's support of coercive practices, including the use of ECT, is out of step with the guidelines published by the United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) and the World Health Organization (WHO) in October 2023. RANZCP continues to label electroshock as "therapeutic."

Both the WHO and the UN direct practitioners and their professional organizations to inform patients that electroshock is an "irreversible intervention" causing "memory loss and brain damage." They also call for the prohibition of involuntary electroshock and its use on children, stating "International human rights standards clarify that ECT without consent violates the right to physical and mental integrity and may constitute torture and ill-treatment."

Scientology Volunteer Ministers and Their Partners Provide Urgently Needed Help to Victims of the Rio Grande do Sul Disaster

RIO GRANDE DO SUL, Brazil /ScoopCloud/ -- Nearly a month since torrential rains triggered flooding, submerging much of the state of Rio Grande do Sul in Brazil, Scientology Volunteer Ministers continue to help disaster response agencies cope with the unprecedented destruction. While media are reporting 150 people have perished from the flood, those on the ground report the casualty rate is far higher. Many are without water, electricity and basic services. At least 600,000 have been displaced and much of the region is still underwater. Help is urgently needed.

The Church of Scientology Mission of São Paulo is coordinating Volunteer Minister activities in the region. In partnership with the Boy Scouts and civil firefighters, who have trained in Volunteer Minister technology, they are organizing and distributing supplies and providing Scientology assists to those devastated by the crisis. Assists are techniques developed by Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard to provide relief from the mental and spiritual factors of trauma and stress, making it possible for victims of disaster to come to terms with their circumstances and take effective action to deal with them.

Scientology Volunteer Ministers international headquarters in Los Angeles flew a team of the legendary Los Topos disaster response specialists from Mexico to Brazil. Los Topos, who have partnered with the Volunteer Ministers on numerous disasters since 2010, is working with Brazilian military and civil defense to search for and rescue victims trapped in their homes and provide needed first aid.

In Mathias Velho, one of the hardest-hit areas, Volunteer Ministers are working alongside local firefighters, organizing donated supplies, food and water, and delivering them by boat to those stranded in flooded areas.

Scoutmaster Marcos Antonio Correia Santos, who is working with the Volunteer Ministers team, describes the region as "a war zone. People don't know what to do," he says. "They are afraid - you can see the fear on their faces."

"The suffering and pain is immense," says a Volunteer Minister who flew in from Guatemala to join the disaster response team. "They are going to need a lot of help."

Anyone wishing to donate time, supplies or equipment or to help those suffering from this crisis is urged to contact the Scientology São Paulo Mission. It is located at Rua Serra De Botucatu 1208 in São Paulo and can be reached at 011 2094-4214.

The Scientology Volunteer Ministers program is a religious social service, developed by Mr. Hubbard in the mid-1970s. In an essay announcing the program, he wrote: "If one does not like the crime, cruelty, injustice and violence of this society, he can do something about it. He can become a Volunteer Minister and help civilize it, bring it conscience and kindness and love and freedom from travail by instilling into it trust, decency, honesty and tolerance."

Their motto is no matter the circumstances, "Something can be done about it."

With the events of the 9/11 terrorist attacks in New York City, Scientology ecclesiastical leader Mr. David Miscavige called on Scientologists to redouble their efforts to aid their fellow man. He issued a directive entitled "The Wake-Up Call," which has inspired exponential growth within the Volunteer Minister program.

Operation: Do Something About It is a feature-length film produced by Scientology Media Productions that documents the Volunteer Ministers' international response to the COVID-19 pandemic. It is available in 17 languages on DIRECTV Channel 320, DIRECTV STREAM, AT&T U-verse and streams at Scientology.tv, on mobile apps and via the Roku, Amazon Fire and Apple TV platforms.

Each Year, The Friday before Memorial Day is Declared ‘Don’t Fry Day’ to Encourage Sun Safety and Awareness

WASHINGTON, D.C. /ScoopCloud/ -- To help reduce rising rates of skin cancer from overexposure to the ultraviolet rays of the sun, the National Council on Skin Cancer Prevention has designated the Friday before Memorial Day, May 24, 2024, as "Don't Fry Day" to encourage sun safety awareness and to remind everyone to protect their skin while enjoying the outdoors. This year, the campaign, "Sun Safety - Make It Yours" highlights our personal responsibility to keep ourselves and our loved ones sun-safe.

"Since more than 90% of skin cancers are caused by ultraviolet radiation - from the sun or from indoor tanning devices - promoting sun safety awareness can help reduce future risk of developing skin cancer, including melanoma. Don't Fry Day is a great way to share this important message, with tips on how to encourage sun safety and awareness," says Jeffrey Gershenwald, M.D., co-chair of the National Council on Skin Cancer Prevention.

Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer in the nation. Approximately 9,500 people in the U.S. are diagnosed with skin cancer every day - more than breast, colon, lung, and prostate cancers combined. In fact, 1 out of every 5 Americans will be diagnosed with some form of skin cancer in their lifetime.

Skin cancer is highly preventable, and Americans can dramatically reduce their risk of skin cancer by:

* Not burning or tanning intentionally - no tan is a safe tan

* Generously applying sunscreen (remembering to reapply every two hours)

* Wearing sun-protective clothing

* Covering up with hats and sunglasses

* Seeking shade during peak times of the day

* Using extra caution near water, snow, and sand

About Don't Fry Day:

"Don't Fry Day," now in its 16th year, is a public awareness campaign that aims to reduce the number of new skin cancer diagnoses by promoting sun safety and encouraging people to protect their skin while enjoying the outdoors. We invite you to view and use the 2024 Don't Fry Day Toolkit and to incorporate the graphics, messages, and more into your own social media.

About National Council on Skin Cancer Prevention:

The National Council on Skin Cancer Prevention is the united voice of 45 organizations, agencies, and associations dedicated to preventing skin cancer through education, advocacy and raising awareness. Council members represent the nation's premier researchers, clinicians and advocates for melanoma and skin cancer prevention. Visit: https://skincancerprevention.org/

Upholding Commerce’s Reputation as a Model City

COMMERCE, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- City of Commerce, known as the Model City, is home to many diverse businesses. Being mainly industrial, some areas tend to accumulate trash left over from businesses' disposing of waste. Observing debris along the on-ramps leading to the I-710 Freeway, City of Commerce Mayor Mr. Hugo Argumedo decided to do something about it. He partnered with Bridge Publications, the all-digital in-house printing facility for the nonfiction works of author L. Ron Hubbard, and together they organized a cleanup of the Northbound I-710 Washington Blvd. on-ramp. The City of Commerce and Caltrans arranged the tools, safety equipment and trucks.

On a sunny spring morning, volunteers shoveled, picked up and hauled away all the trash from the site. The team collected and disposed of 58 bags of waste, tree branches and a car bumper.

In addition to the mayor and Bridge Publications staff, volunteers included:

* Youth from the Explorer Program of the East L.A. Sheriff's Department

* Members of the City of Commerce Evening Lions Club

* Leader of the El Sabor de Michoacán

* Staff from Golden State Connections

A special acknowledgement to Sgt. Ibarra and his colleague from the East L.A. Sheriff's Department who kept everyone safe.

All involved are thanked for their contribution to keeping Commerce, the Model City, clean.

One of the books published by Bridge is The Way to Happiness, a common-sense moral code that can be used by people of all cultures and creeds to map the way to a happier and better way of life. Precept 12 of the book inspires Bridge volunteers who take part in this and other cleanups: Safeguard and Improve Your Environment.

Bridge Publications is planning more events to help improve Commerce and surrounding areas and encourages others to join. Those wishing to volunteer to help in community outreach events should contact Lucia Winther at (323) 888-6200 or lwinther@bridgepub.com.

Established in 1981, Bridge Publications, Inc. in Commerce, California, is the publisher of the nonfiction works of international best-selling author L. Ron Hubbard. Bridge Publications' award-winning state of the art facility publishes Mr. Hubbard's works for the Americas, Africa, Asia, Australia, New Zealand and Oceania.

Foundation for a Drug-Free World Reaches Out at the 79th Annual National PAL Training Conference to Empower Youth With Effective Drug Education

SAN DIEGO, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports drug overdoses are killing young Americans in unprecedented numbers. To help turn the tide on this epidemic, Foundation for a Drug-Free World reached out to those attending the annual National Police Athletic and Activities League (PAL) Training Conference at the Wyndham San Diego Bayside Hotel May 7 - May 10. Drug-Free World volunteers and staff introduced those attending the conference to their acclaimed Truth About Drugs drug education and prevention initiative, which they provide free of charge to anyone wishing to help kids on this urgent subject.

National PAL's mission and activities are based on the conviction that young people, reached early enough, are more likely to become productive adults and agents of positive change.

The Truth About Drugs youth-friendly booklets and videos help accomplish this purpose. They get through to young people, keeping them interested and engaged. The Truth About Drugs documentary drives home the message, as former addicts share harrowing stories of how they were trapped in the dwindling spiral of addiction.

"Truth About Drugs materials can also contribute to PAL's mission to provide youth with leadership opportunities to help others," said Foundation for a Drug-Free World Executive Director Jessica Hochman. "Our program not only helps young people make the firm decision not to experiment with drugs, it also helps them take responsibility for their peers, their siblings - even their parents - and gives them the confidence that they can set an example for others. With your commitment to helping youth and our drug-prevention campaign and free online courses, we can truly save lives."

The Truth About Drugs program is the largest and most comprehensive nongovernmental drug education and prevention program of its kind. It is spearheaded and coordinated by the Foundation for a Drug-Free World, a secular nonprofit public benefit corporation that empowers youth and adults with factual information about drugs so they can make informed decisions and live drug-free. The program is used by teachers, school counselors, drug education specialists and law enforcement officers around the world. Its drug-free message reaches millions of people each year.

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 Foundation for a Drug-Free World, making it possible to provide its materials free of charge to schools, civic groups, governments, law enforcement, and individuals and institutions in the private sector.

Scientology Network’s ‘Voices for Humanity’ Brings Hope Back to Paradise With David Lopez

BAYAMON, Puerto Rico /ScoopCloud/ -- Scientology Network's VOICES FOR HUMANITY, the weekly series presenting heroic change makers from a variety of faiths, cultures and nations, working to uplift their communities, announces a new episode featuring Volunteer Minister David Lopez on May 22, 2024.

VOICES FOR HUMANITY airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Scientology Network.

Puerto Rico, a stunning island paradise resplendent with natural beauty, has had to overcome a host of recent sociological and natural calamities - from the collapse of its social services to the catastrophic effects of Hurricane Maria. David Lopez, a Scientology Volunteer Minister, leads far-reaching efforts to provide the people of Puerto Rico with humanitarian and spiritual aid. His work has positively impacted the lives of thousands of his countrymen.

ABOUT DAVID LOPEZ

David Lopez is a Puerto Rican native whose passion for helping others began early when he joined the Cub Scouts, carried on through his tenure with Puerto Rico's Civil Air Patrol and has continued with a lifetime of service to improve the lives of others. The defining test of his commitment and ability to effectively help came in 2017, when Hurricane Maria wrought devastation to every aspect of Puerto Rican life. David led Scientology Volunteer Ministers' relief efforts throughout the island, from its capital city to remote and isolated villages. Volunteer Minister action encompassed everything from delivering crucial lifesaving supplies to clearing downed trees that blocked roads for emergency access vehicles. But beyond the physical damage, there was the emotional and spiritual toll the hurricane took on the Puerto Rican population. Working with his team, David helped uplift his countrymen with the tools from The Scientology Handbook - tools that have now been adopted by Puerto Rican religious leaders and praised by government officials.

David Lopez is the Scientology Volunteer Minister In-Charge of Puerto Rico.

Written and directed by Damon Kwame Mason, the documentary chronicles the discrimination faced by Black athletes from the earliest days of organized hockey leagues in North America, to the impact and influence of those who dared to pursue their dreams and break through the color barrier of the sport.

The film is anchored around the countdown to the NHL draft and one outstanding young Black hockey player's dream of getting his shot at playing in the pro league.

Celebrating the Anniversary of ‘Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health,’ the All-Time Bestselling Book on the Human Mind

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Scientologists, neighbors and guests gathered at an outdoor auditorium at the Church of Scientology Los Angeles Saturday, May 11. They filled Scientology Churches up and down L. Ron Hubbard Way in East Hollywood for a dinner and awards ceremony to honor top-producing Dianetics auditors and disseminators, celebrate the 74th anniversary of Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health, and launch the book's diamond anniversary year.

The word Dianetics comes from the Greek dia, meaning "through" and nous, meaning "soul," and is defined as "what the soul is doing to the body." Dianetics is a methodology that can help alleviate unwanted sensations and emotions, irrational fears, and psychosomatic illnesses (illnesses caused or aggravated by mental stress).

Those attending spanned a wide spectrum of interests and experience, from those new to Dianetics, to local Scientologists, and those in Los Angeles to study Dianetics and Scientology from across the country and beyond. There were those currently experiencing the miracles of Dianetics, those studying Dianetics, and those practicing Dianetics. But all were moved by the testimonials shared by those using Dianetics to help themselves and others overcome their limitations and achieve their full potential.

"Dianetics is an adventure," wrote L. Ron Hubbard in his introduction to the book. "It is an exploration into Terra Incognita, the human mind, that vast hitherto unknown realm half an inch back of our foreheads." And although it has firmly established itself as the most widely read and influential book ever written about the mind, Dianetics is as revolutionary to those discovering it today as it was in May 1950, when 50,000 copies of the book rolled off the presses, selling out immediately and propelling the book onto the New York Times best-seller list where it remained for 26 consecutive weeks.

Now available in 50 languages, Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health is accessible to the wide range of cultures and ethnicities living in Los Angeles and to over 90 percent of the world's population.

L. Ron Hubbard always intended Dianetics for use, and in 2009, Mr. David Miscavige, Chairman of the Board Religious Technology Center and ecclesiastical leader of the Scientology religion, made it possible for anyone to learn and use the technology with the release of How to Use Dianetics: 32 films in 17 languages containing 4 1/2 hours of visual instruction in Dianetics principles and procedures. The book and these films form the basis of the new Hubbard Dianetics Seminar, available at any Scientology Mission or Church in the world. And with the use of the book and these films, within hours, anyone can begin their own adventure and help another do so too.

With the launch of the Scientology Network, the reach of Dianetics has skyrocketed, with Dianetics programming reaching 240 countries and territories in 17 languages, broadcast on Direct TV channel 320, DIRECTV STREAM, AT&T U-verse, and streaming at Scientology.tv, through mobile apps, Roku, Amazon Fire and Apple TV platforms.

Optimal Blue Announces ‘Optimize Your Advantage’ to Showcase How Its Capital Markets Platform Puts Lenders in Control of Their Margins

PLANO, Texas /ScoopCloud/ -- Optimal Blue announced the launch of its Optimize Your Advantage campaign in advance of the MBA Secondary and Capital Markets Conference. This comprehensive brand initiative highlights the value and innovation the company delivers to clients. Through Optimal Blue's position as the housing industry's only end-to-end capital markets platform, lenders and other market participants have greater control of their profit margins, giving them distinct advantages, regardless of market conditions. In turn, they are better positioned to make housing finance accessible to more American borrowers.

"'Optimize Your Advantage' illustrates how Optimal Blue helps lenders effectively manage and significantly improve their return on investment," said Sara Holtz, chief marketing officer of Optimal Blue. "There are benefits to working with a nimble partner like Optimal Blue that can anticipate and quickly deliver the innovations clients need to operate efficiently and profitably. In turn, these lenders can help more borrowers fulfill the dream of homeownership - a momentous purpose that requires a proven partner with the technology, network, data, and expertise necessary to succeed in dynamic markets. We're incredibly proud of the fact that Optimal Blue is the only provider that delivers on these needs from pricing accuracy to pipeline risk management, and every step in between."

The campaign showcases the interconnectedness of Optimal Blue's ever-growing network. Through an API-first approach, the company bridges critical connections between the primary and secondary mortgage markets to the benefit of the larger industry. This network brings together hundreds of thousands of individual lenders, investors, brokers, and vendors to yield constant value by way of knowledge-sharing and real-time, competitive benchmarking.

Further, Optimal Blue's technology and data offerings form a critical, complete, and scalable capital markets infrastructure - from the time an American borrower looks into homes they can afford in terms of accurate product and pricing options, to when a lender considers originating a mortgage, through rate locking, counterparty oversight, pipeline hedging, securitization and trading, and on through the valuation of mortgage servicing rights and portfolio monitoring for additional lead generation opportunities.

The company was acquired by Constellation Software in September 2023, and this new campaign marks Optimal Blue's continued commitment to the future of mortgage lending and secondary marketing. Through Constellation's independent ownership model, Optimal Blue operates as a distinct entity with access to resources and best practice sharing from its parent company.

"Optimal Blue has been setting the pace of innovation and product delivery in the capital markets space for decades, and a key to that long-term success is our company's ability to continuously innovate and evolve for the market's needs," said Scott Smith, interim CEO of Optimal Blue and president of Andromeda, Constellation Software. "Our clients are the driving motivation behind everything we do, and we're pleased to shine a light on the unique value Optimal Blue brings to their success."

The campaign will include efforts to further enhance Optimal Blue's existing client advocacy program, through which the company solicits client feedback that is used to directly inform innovation. Enhancements to the advocacy program will include additional value-add forums for clients, as well as new brand initiatives to showcase Optimal Blue's value in action through client spotlights.

New South Wales Sikh Motorcycle Club Promotes Peace, Equality and Human Rights at an Annual Festival

COFFS HARBOUR, New South Wales /ScoopCloud/ -- Every April, Sikh communities around the world celebrate the Sikh faith festival of Vaisakhi with a procession known as Nagar Kirtan. The event not only brings the Sikh community together but also promotes Sikh beliefs and community activism to the wider society. Human rights and social justice are central to Sikh beliefs. The religion holds that everyone is equal in the eyes of God and must be treated with respect and equality. This is why the Singhs Social Motorcycle Club of Australia (Singhs SMC) joined forces with United for Human Rights New South Wales, a human rights campaign supported by the Church of Scientology, to raise awareness of an important human rights issue affecting Australians.

Gurū Nānak (1469-1539), founder of Sikhism, was centuries ahead of his time. He embraced human rights, advocated the principle of human equality across caste and religion, and called on Sikhs to be active in promoting this.

At this year's Nagar Kirtan in Coffs Harbour, a city on the north coast of New South Wales, Singhs SMC promoted the importance of ending domestic violence. According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, one in six women, 15 and older, have experienced physical or sexual violence by a current or previous partner.

United for Human Rights volunteers walked along the procession route with volunteers and club members who adopted the United for Human Rights campaign as a program that can help them achieve their own purpose of promoting human decency and respect.

Volunteers from United for Human Rights NSW handed out booklets that raise awareness of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Some 3,500 local residents gathered for the festival.

Singhs SMC's support of human rights at the Coffs Harbour Nagar Kirtan was "a powerful testament to the spirit of unity, compassion, and activism of the Sikh community and its collective commitment to creating a more just and inclusive society," said a representative of United for Human Rights NSW.

United for Human Rights and its initiative for young people, Youth for Human Rights International, are supported by Scientology Churches and Scientologists, making it possible to provide its educational materials free of charge to educators, civic and community leaders, and anyone wishing to educate youth or adults on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The program is inspired by humanitarian and Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard's belief that "Human rights must be made a fact, not an idealistic dream."

For more information visit the United for Human Rights website, watch The Story of Human Rights and Thirty Rights Brought to Life on the Scientology Network or watch episodes of Voices for Humanity to see how changemakers of all faiths, traditions and cultures use United for Human Rights and other Scientology-sponsored humanitarian programs to extend help and uplift their communities.
