Church of Scientology Honors World Day of Peace With Interfaith Gathering

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- As part of its purpose to bring the community together in the name of a better life for all, the Church of Scientology Los Angeles marked International Day of Peace with an open house and forum. In coordination with the L.A. chapter of Youth for Human Rights International, they invited members of many faith traditions for an evening of interfaith dialogue. The event highlighted the cultural and religious diversity and inclusiveness of Southern California and the importance of religions everywhere to work for peace in the world.

Representatives and clergy from the Ahmadiyya Muslim and Sikh communities, Zoroastrianism, the Falun Gong movement, and the Church of Scientology shared the basic principles of their religions with the audience and one another.

The goal was for those attending to gain greater understanding, respect and appreciation for the faiths represented. Despite many hailing from different nations and cultures, the program was a striking demonstration of how much we all hold in common no matter our differences. Feedback showed the presentations helped foster a better appreciation of religion as a whole.

"Los Angeles is known for its diversity. We have so much we can learn from one another, and we hold so much in common," said Susanna Johansson, Public Affairs Director for the Church of Scientology Western United States. "By increasing our understanding of other faiths, we wish to strengthen freedom of thought, conscience and religion, as expressed in Article 18 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights."

In 1948, those crafting the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) recognized and stated in the preamble that "the inherent dignity and... the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world." They called on all member states to have the UDHR "disseminated, displayed, read and expounded principally in schools and other educational institutions, without distinction based on the political status of countries or territories."

Yet, by the turn of the 21st century, a survey found only 4 percent of American youth were even aware of the existence of the UDHR much less the rights it encompassed.

In 2001, educator Mary Shuttleworth founded Youth for Human Rights International to educate youth on the UDHR and inspire them to become advocates for tolerance and peace.

In Los Angeles alone, Youth for Human Rights and its sister organization United for Human Rights have empowered hundreds of thousands of youth with an understanding of the UDHR with booklets and videos that bring these rights to life.

Thanks to the support of the Church of Scientology and Scientologists, Youth for Human Rights provides this secular program and its materials free of charge to anyone wishing to use them to educate others on this vital subject.

Inspired by Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard who stressed that "human rights must be made a fact, not an idealistic dream," Scientology Churches, Missions and groups worldwide promote human rights awareness through education about the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

The Church of Scientology Los Angeles was dedicated by Scientology ecclesiastical leader Mr. David Miscavige in 2010 and is featured in an episode of Inside Scientology on the Scientology Network, available on DIRECTV channel 320 and streaming at Scientology.tv, through mobile apps and via the Roku, Amazon Fire and Apple TV platforms.

FormFree announces first-of-a-kind exchange to connect lenders with qualified borrowers

ATHENS, Ga. /ScoopCloud/ -- FormFree today announced the fourth quarter debut of FormFree Exchange (FFX®), a dynamic online marketplace that matches lenders with qualified borrowers for a faster, better and fairer lending experience.

FFX has been meticulously designed to address the challenges facing lenders and borrowers in the modern financial landscape. With interest rates and home prices driving down loan application numbers and the prohibitive costs of lead generation eroding lender profitability, FFX offers a solution that reshapes lending as we know it.

"FormFree Exchange is where lenders meet qualified borrowers," said Brent Chandler, founder and CEO of FormFree. "Our platform represents the future of lending, providing a transparent and efficient way for home, auto and consumer lenders to connect with high-intent borrowers. It's not just about making loans; it's about making lending accessible and profitable for all."

How FFX Works:

FFX eliminates the need for lenders to sift through unqualified or unready leads by providing verified financial data from borrowers who have already demonstrated that they are ready and willing to transact using FormFree's free Passport® service. Lenders receive this data in the form of an anonymous Qualified Borrower (QB) Medallion that empowers them to make competitive loan offers while protecting borrowers' identities until an offer is extended and accepted.

Attributes provided in a QB Medallion include:

* Intent: Understanding the borrower's financial goals and requested loan type and amount

* Assets: Detailed account balances and transaction history

* Income: Validation of typical monthly income and income stability

* Employment: Verification of employment details and payment frequency

* ATP Analytics: In-depth ability-to-pay insights, including cash-flow index, Residual Income Knowledge Index® (RIKI)®, credit score and rent payment history

* CRA & DPA Eligibility: Identification of borrowers eligible for down payment assistance and programs for low-to-moderate income and minority consumers

A More Inclusive Approach

Outdated underwriting standards exclude millions of lendable consumers who have low FICO scores or nontraditional income but can sustainably support a mortgage. By providing a holistic view of each borrower's finances, FFX allows lenders to help more consumers access the loans they need without taking on additional risk.

"Guild Mortgage is proud to be among the ten inaugural FormFree Exchange members who have signed up to be matched with motivated and creditworthy borrowers, many of whom would be weeded out and excluded from financing by traditional lead acquisition routes," said David Battany. "We welcome this transparent model and feel confident in our ability to compete for the business of borrowers that are a good match for Guild."

Lenders are encouraged to join leading institutions like AmeriSave, Developer's Mortgage, Guaranteed Rate, Guild Mortgage, Highland Mortgage, Kind Lending, Paramount Residential Mortgage Group (PRMG), Sage Mortgage, Synergy One Lending and Ready Life in joining the FormFree Exchange.

Modern Foot & Ankle Welcomes New Podiatrist in Lake Mary, Casselberry

LAKE MARY, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- Modern Foot & Ankle, Florida's leading provider of podiatric care, proudly welcomes foot and ankle surgeon Kristina Sikar, DPM, to the team.

Starting Monday, Dr. Sikar will begin seeing patients at the group's Lake Mary and Casselberry offices. She is replacing Dr. Tamara Nemeroff, who will be moving to Jupiter to open Modern Foot & Ankle's first clinic in South Florida. The new office is slated to open next month.

Dr. Nemeroff's former clinics are in good hands. The talented Dr. Sikar brings her knowledge, experience, and holistic approach to the Orlando suburbs, delivering high-quality care to her new patient base.

"What excites me about serving this community is the genuine sense of unity and the warm, welcoming nature of its residents," she said. "Being part of a place where people support and value each other fosters a strong sense of purpose and fulfillment in my role as a healthcare provider."

She is skilled in all aspects of foot and ankle healthcare with a special interest in cosmetic foot surgery, wound care, sports medicine, diabetic foot care, and prevention of diabetes-related complications in the lower extremities.

"I approach patient care with compassion and empathy, understanding that even minor foot and ankle issues can have a significant impact on a person's quality of life," explained Dr. Sikar. "Throughout my career, I've acquired a profound understanding that no two patients are the same, no two medical problems are identical, and everyone brings unique social circumstances into their healthcare journey.

"This comprehensive knowledge allows me to provide essential support while tailoring each treatment to address not only patients' medical needs but also their unique individuality and specific social factors," she continued.

The opportunity to serve a diverse population was a draw for Dr. Sikar. Yet what she finds most appealing about Modern Foot & Ankle is its healthcare approach, which she says "embraces the modern advancements in healthcare while keeping the patient at the center of every decision."

Master Sommelier Writes Definitive Wine-Tasting Guide for Professionals and Novices

RIO RANCHO, N.M. /ScoopCloud/ -- Master Sommelier Tim Gaiser has released an updated version of "Message in the Bottle: A Guide to Tasting Wine" (ISBN: 978-1955750479). The book is a valuable resource for professional tasters, as well as an outstanding guide for the casual enthusiast who wants to learn more about how to appreciate a glass of wine.

"Message in the Bottle" is a compilation of Gaiser's 30-plus years of international wine-tasting and teaching experience. After working on the text for over ten years, Gaiser finally had the opportunity to put the manuscript together during the 2020 COVID pandemic. On release, the wine-tasting guide quickly surged to the top rankings on Amazon.

"The original intent was to write something for 'Jedi Knights in training,' as a colleague calls students in the wine certification programs," Gaiser says. "However, a dear friend and fellow Master Sommelier colleague pointed out that once the book was released, consumers just getting into wine would also be interested it. I realized that I needed to make the text as user-friendly as possible."

With that, Gaiser went back to the drawing board and rewrote all the chapters to include introductions and recommendations on how to use the information. The result is a comprehensive resource for the serious wine student, as well as a clear-cut guide for anyone who wants to learn the secrets of tasting wine.

As Emily Wines, Master Sommelier and Vice Chair of the Board of Directors for the Court of Master

Sommeliers, Americas, states "For all of those who've struggled with the art and technique of blind tasting, this is the ultimate guide."

Peter Marks, Master of Wine, agrees, stating "'Message in the Bottle' should be another standard in anyone's wine library along with 'The Oxford Companion to Wine' and 'The World Atlas of Wine.'"

A Decanter Magazine review states that, "This Guide to Tasting Wine compiles strategies and insights gained over more than 30 years of teaching and working as a sommelier. While many sections are aimed at helping sommeliers pass the tough MS exam, there are useful tools for wine novices through to those wanting to brush up on blind tasting skills."

Somm Journal publisher, Meredith May, wrote, "Applying his three decades of experience in tasting, teaching, and writing, Gaiser divides and conquers concepts both objective and subjective. For those prepping for exams, Message in the Bottle may be one of the most valuable tomes in your arsenal."

Beyond requisite skills, the "Message in the Bottle" includes an entire section on strategies for improving focus, concentration, and smell and taste memory-all using visualization. It also features a list of suggested producers for tasting practice, instructions for writing tasting notes and wine tech sheets, and a series of essays on wine, making it not only the go-to reference for aspiring sommeliers and wine professionals, but an enjoyable read about one of life's greatest, most enduring pleasures.

"Message in the Bottle: A Guide to Tasting Wine" was published by Networlding Publishing in December 2022 and is available in both eBook and paperback formats from major distributors.

Therapy or Torture? The Truth About Electroshock Airs on World Mental Health Day

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- It hits the head with the force of a 40-pound cinder block dropped seven and a half feet. It's been described by patients as a grenade going off in your body. It's called electroconvulsive therapy. And the truth of this violent practice is revealed in the original documentary Therapy or Torture: The Truth About Electroshock, featured on World Mental Health Day, October 10, at 8 p.m. ET/PT on the Scientology Network.

Man-on-the-street interviews show most people have no idea this barbaric practice is still in use. Yet electroshock or ECT (the initials stand for electroconvulsive therapy) is not an antiquated medical practice of some bygone era. The stark truth is that ECT is inflicted on a million people worldwide. Every year.

Side effects of ECT include amnesia (substantial and permanent memory loss), confusion, disorientation, apathy, disinterest, headaches, nausea, slowed reaction time, lowered intellectual function, and death.

In a single shock treatment, the psychiatrist sends up to 460 volts through the brain of the patient. Putting this into perspective, the human brain operates on 0.2 volts - eight times less than the 1.5 volts of a watch battery - so ECT inflicts the patient with 2,300 times the electricity the brain uses to function.

Therapy or Torture: The Truth About Electroshock is a gripping exposé of the $5.4 billion ECT business, its history, practitioners and devastating results, revealed in graphic detail.

The film is a Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR) documentary, part of an ongoing investigative series to educate the public on abuses of psychiatry. Other CCHR documentaries expose the truth about the marketing of psychotropic prescriptions, the dangers of those drugs and the psychiatric industry's terrifying history.

Citizens Commission on Human Rights was cofounded in 1969 by professor of psychiatry Dr. Thomas Szasz and the Church of Scientology. With headquarters in Los Angeles, California, CCHR International guides a global human rights advocacy network of some 180 chapters across more than 30 nations. CCHR Commissioners include physicians, psychiatrists, psychologists, lawyers, legislators, government officials, educators and civil rights representatives.

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 the Scientology religion 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. The network also showcases documentaries by independent filmmakers who represent a cross section of cultures and faiths but share a common purpose of uplifting communities. Scientology Network's innovative content has been recognized with more than 125 industry awards, including Tellys, Communitas and Hermes Creative Awards.

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

On World Mental Health Day Meet a Texas Hero Who is Helping Protect Victims of Psychiatry

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- "Psychiatry is a system that all too often works on the weakest, most vulnerable people," says Lee Spiller, Executive Director of Citizens Commission on Human Rights Texas. "It is a bullying system, and I just don't like bullies." Spiller is featured October 10 on the Scientology Network's World Mental Health Day marathon television event in an episode of Voices for Humanity.

For more than two decades, Spiller has been fighting for the rights of the victims of psychiatric abuse by investigating and exposing the psychiatric industry's corruption and systemic malfeasance.

"When you've met people that are inside a hospital and they can't get out, when you meet people who've been restrained, you understand just how fragile those rights are," he says. "When I see a chance to make change, I try to make change."

Spiller's work is credited with the closure of 172 abusive psychiatric institutions and a 50 percent reduction in psychiatric drugging of foster children. And his activism within state government has directly led to the passage of dozens of state laws to prevent unscrupulous activities by psychiatry.

Mark World Mental Health Day by watching Lee Spiller's episode of Voices for Humanity on the Scientology Network.

Sports marketing guru turns mystery writer for old guys

PORTLAND, Ore. /ScoopCloud/ -- Marketing guru, Jon Spoelstra, has always had a penchant for pushing the outrageous. He wrote "Marketing Outrageously," a Wall Street Journal bestseller, and now he's at it again. This time he's written a series of mystery novels for what he calls "old guys" in the "Old Guys Murder Mystery Series." This fifth novel in the series, "Who is Killing all the Old (and mostly lovable) Mystery Writers?" (ASIN: B0C5S1ZP9M) is scheduled to publish on November 7, 2023.

A free copy can be downloaded here: https://dl.bookfunnel.com/jawmsj0657.

When Spoelstra first presented the idea to his non-fiction literary agent, Nat Sobel, he was met with doubt and disapproval.

"His exact words were 'this is crazy,'" Spoelstra says.

Sobel told him that there was no market for the idea and that women were mostly the fiction book buyers, not old guys.

"Of course I ignored his advice," Spoelstra says.

Two years later, Spoelstra is releasing his fifth book in the series. The first book in the series, "Who's Killing All My Old Girlfriends" (ASIN: B09RRZ8XM3) sold in Amazon's top one percent.

"Who is Killing All the Old (and mostly lovable) Mystery Writers?" features seven top mystery writers who meet in a remote Western resort. Their mission is to write another number one global smash-hit bestseller. To kick off the retreat, they invite Charlie North, a retired columnist and now famous blogger, to be the opening night speaker.

The writers are cocksure about the financial return. They're already counting on movie rights for big bucks. They just have to sit down and do what they do best: write about murder. But what happens when the writers start getting killed off for real? North and his buddy, retired LAPD cop Ben Tucker, jump in to investigate.

The mystery writers keep writing and another body falls. North and Tucker think they have it all figured out, but these writers are a strange and crafty bunch. They specialize in thinking up how to kill somebody, covering tracks and not getting caught.

In a single room, it starts to become clear and justice is about to be served. But wait - there's more. One last scene delivers plenty of surprises.

"I'm not sure I have one reader under the age of 50," Spoelstra says. "There are plenty of five-star reviews on Amazon that come from the older crowd. They enjoy old guys chasing down murderers."

Before Spoelstra turned into a mystery writer for old guys he served as top executive for three NBA teams: the Portland Trail Blazers; the Denver Nuggets; and the New Jersey Nets. While at the Trail Blazers, he was part of the strangest trade in sports' history. As a sports executive, two weeks of his consulting time was traded for the starting point guard, Don Buse, of the Indiana Pacers. Read the story here: https://www.si.com/nba/2020/02/05/most-bizarre-nba-trade-in-history.

And, while he was president of the New Jersey Nets, Spoelstra tried to change the team's nickname from Nets to Swamp Dragons.

"The Nets had such an awful history, I was trying to put them in a version of the witness protection program," he says. "You know, change the name and erase the past."

That didn't quite work out, but it's now legendary in the NBA annals: https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/15155466/once-nets-seriously-considered-becoming-swamp-dragons.

Spoelstra has written five marketing books, the first was "Ice to the Eskimos" (ISBN: 0887308511). He says he started writing novels because there's only so much one can write about marketing.

"There's no limit to murder mysteries," he says. "You're supposed to write about what you know, and while I don't know murder, I do know old."

Review copies and interviews arranged upon request.

Announcing the Launch of the Green Chemistry Teaching and Learning Community (GCTLC)

WILMINGTON, Mass. /ScoopCloud/ -- Beyond Benign, in partnership with sponsors and partners including the American Chemical Society Green Chemistry Institute (ACS GCI), is excited to announce the launch of the Green Chemistry Teaching and Learning Community (GCTLC): an online hub for everyone in the green chemistry community to share, connect, learn, and grow together.

Developed in collaboration with green chemistry leaders and educators worldwide, the GCTLC is a dynamic virtual space where community members can develop connections, find mentors, share resources, and enhance their knowledge through peer-led learning.

"We created the GCTLC alongside passionate educators, industry partners and stakeholders within the green chemistry education community to ensure it truly serves everybody," said Dr. Jonathon Moir, GCTLC Senior Program Manager. "Because we cultivated this platform together, the GCTLC exists as a teaching and learning platform and also a living testament to the unity and collaboration underpinning our community."

Designed with K-12 educators, higher-ed faculty, and student leaders in mind, the GCTLC serves as a central meeting space for green chemistry enthusiasts to connect in real time.

"The GCTLC fills a big gap, particularly in the education space," said Dr. Glenn Hurst, Professor at University of York and GCTLC Leadership Committee Member. "The challenge to transform our community and make a real difference in the widespread integration of green chemistry into education is one the GCTLC is perfectly placed to address."

The GCTLC is a one-stop shop for everything green chemistry. Key features include:

* a robust community space where users can locate and connect with other community members based on profession, institution, and other key identifiers;

* an extensive library of valuable educational resources and curriculum materials from community members from across the world;

* forums and groups, allowing users to delve deeper into specific green chemistry topics and seek advice from their peers;

* and continued learning opportunities, including courses and special events.

"The GCTLC is a powerful resource that will drastically improve our teaching community's ability to collaborate, share, and, ultimately, adopt new green chemistry curriculum," said Dr. Adelina Voutchkova, ACS GCI Director of Sustainable Development. "We are proud to partner with Beyond Benign on this venture."

The overarching objective of the GCTLC is to advance the widespread incorporation of green chemistry principles within educational settings and, as a result, various industrial sectors.

"The green chemistry community is incredibly powerful when we unite to empower and inspire one another," said Dr. Amy Cannon, Co-Founder and Executive Director of Beyond Benign. "The GCTLC acts as a catalyst for our movement, providing a place for ideas and knowledge to flow freely in real time.

Every mentor undergoes a thorough background check before being paired with a junior, and tee times are provided by First Tee - Greater Sacramento.

Call for Action Against Psychiatric Abuse on World Mental Health Day

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- In observance of World Mental Health Day on October 10, Scientology Network will present a marathon television event featuring the work of the Citizens Commission on Human Rights and its partners to expose psychiatric abuse.

With one in four Americans currently taking psychiatric drugs, including over 400,000 children ages 0-5, most remain unaware of their inherent dangers. A partial list of reported side effects includes suicidal ideation, anxiety, violence, depression, psychosis, hallucinations and death. In fact, patients taking psychotropic drugs are nearly six times more likely to kill themselves.

And despite the FDA admitting to electroshock (ECT) causing cardiovascular complications, memory loss, cognitive impairment, brain damage and death, about 100,000 Americans receive ECT every year. Further, psychiatrists confess they do not know how ECT "works."

Scientology Network's World Mental Health Day marathon will be dedicated to educating the public on psychiatric abuses and corruption worldwide and is a call to action to help eradicate the crimes of the psychiatric industry.

The Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR) is a nonprofit mental health watchdog committed to help put an end to the criminal practices of the psychiatric industry around the world. To date, CCHR and its partners have helped enact more than 320 laws protecting individuals from abusive practices.

World Mental Health Day Marathon will feature:

CCHR documentaries - an ongoing investigative series taking on the powerful and well-funded psychiatric interest groups to expose the truth about the marketing of dangerous psychotropic drugs and the industry's terrifying history. The films included are:

* Therapy or Torture: The Truth about Electroshock, an exposé on the brutal psychiatric practice of electroshock

* Psychiatry: An Industry of Death, an investigation of psychiatry's dark past

* Marketing of Madness: Are We All Insane? - a look at how psychiatry concocts mental diseases for the sake of profit

* The Hidden Enemy: Inside Psychiatry's Covert Agenda, uncovering how psychiatry infiltrated the US military and its devastating effects

Voices for Humanity - the only ongoing television series dedicated to those working in the streets, schools and communities to spread the message of human rights, educate communities on the dangers of drugs and combat psychiatric abuse.

The World Mental Health Day marathon starts October 10 at 8 a.m. ET.

Learn the truth about the psychiatric industry. Visit cchr.org for more information, and see the full marathon schedule at Scientology.tv/schedule.

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 the Scientology religion 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. The network also showcases documentaries by independent filmmakers who represent a cross section of cultures and faiths but share a common purpose of uplifting communities. Scientology Network's innovative content has been recognized with more than 125 industry awards, including Tellys, Communitas and Hermes Creative Awards.

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

Born in Ecuador and raised in Germany, Cepeda's unique blend of cultural influences brings a rich background and international acclaim to this vibrant city.

And now this relocation is underscored by his unwavering commitment to furthering his successful career as a pianist and orchestra conductor. His goal is to share his knowledge through teaching and research at prestigious academic institutions.

Central to this exciting new career chapter is the European Piano Academy of Atlanta, which he co-founded with his wife, Katja. The academy offers top-tier piano education and mentorship, and together, the couple's decades of experience and expertise will help to nurture the next generation of piano virtuosos.

Through this relocation, Cepeda aims to continue his legacy of musical excellence while sharing his passion and expertise with a new community of music enthusiasts and aspiring artists in the heart of Georgia.

In 2021, he attained the prestigious title of Steinway Artist, a testament to his exceptional talents. Since he was 7-years old, he has graced legendary concert halls around the world, leaving audiences enthralled with performances at iconic venues such as Carnegie Hall in New York and the Berliner Philharmonie.

Cepeda is not just a remarkable performer, he's also an accomplished music educator and researcher. His recent role as Head of Music and deputy director of the choir at an opera house in Germany showcases his musical versatility and depth.

In addition to his musical achievements, Cepeda has received several distinguished awards, including the Schubert Prize from the German Schubert Association and the Vicente Rocafuerte Medal from the Ecuadorian National Parliament for outstanding cultural merits. He has also clinched first prizes at piano competitions in Ecuador, further highlighting his extraordinary musical abilities.

Looking ahead, Cepeda has a dynamic schedule that includes concerts and master classes in Tampa, FL; Münster, Germany; and Casa de la Música in Quito, Ecuador.

Move For Hunger Teams Up with Kroger, the Detroit Pistons, WK Kellogg Co, and more to Topple 15,000 Cereal Boxes like Dominoes and Break a GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title while Providing 500,000 Meals to Communities in Need!

DETROIT, Mich. /ScoopCloud/ -- Move For Hunger, a national non-profit organization that fights hunger and food waste, will attempt to break the GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title for the Most Cereal Boxes Toppled in a Domino Fashion with Topple Hunger on October 12 at 5:30 p.m. ET. The Topple Hunger event aims to shatter the current record of 6,391 cereal boxes by more than double - toppling 15,000 boxes at the Henry Ford Detroit Pistons Performance Center.

The endeavor is not just about breaking a record. It also seeks to raise awareness about significant food insecurity and food waste in the US where 34 million Americans don't know where their next meal is coming from.

To help make this challenge possible, WK Kellogg Co. & Kroger are donating the boxes of cereal, and the United Dairy Industry of Michigan will be generously donating a gallon of milk for every cereal box donated.

Hellmann's, Lineage Foundation for Good, University Moving & Storage, and the Detroit Pistons have also joined as sponsors and are committed to a world without hunger or food waste. Move For Hunger is asking the public to join in and make a $5 donation to sponsor a cereal box and help break the record. All donations will be matched up to $75,000 by the event's generous sponsors. Visit http://topplehunger.com to sponsor a box and make a donation.

"We are excited to partner with these amazing sponsors to attempt to break a GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS," said Adam Lowy, Executive Director and Founder at Move For Hunger. "This challenge is a great way to raise awareness about hunger and food waste, and to help us provide much-needed food assistance to those in need."

"At WK Kellogg Co, we are committed to helping families, kids and communities be healthier and happier, together and we are passionate about doing our part to make nutritious foods easily accessible, while creating social connectivity and respecting natural resources," said Sarah Ludmer, WK Kellogg Co's Chief Wellbeing and Sustainable Business Officer. "We are thrilled to be a part of such a monumental event that supports our long-held beliefs and our continued vision for the future."

This event will support Move For Hunger by providing 500,000 meals to communities in need. A national non-profit organization, Move For Hunger mobilizes transportation networks to deliver surplus food to local food banks and pantries across the United States and Canada. After the event ends, the food will be delivered to local Michigan food banks.

"We look forward to hosting this unique challenge at the Henry Ford Detroit Pistons Performance Center designed to fight issues around hunger and support local Michigan food banks," Erika Swilley, Vice President of Community & Social Responsibility for the Detroit Pistons said. "Though we're excited about the opportunity to break the Guinness World Records, more importantly, we hope this challenge serves to break barriers around food insecurity in our community."

"We're immensely grateful to be part of this incredible event dedicated to combating food insecurity," said Cam Barrett, Corporate Affairs Manager for the Kroger Co. of Michigan. "As we join forces to break the GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS title for cereal box dominoes, we're reminded that it's not just about the boxes, but the collective strength and determination to topple hunger in our communities. With all 15,000 boxes set for donation to local food banks, we're making a resounding statement - that together, we can help create communities where no one goes to bed hungry."

Scientologists Celebrate 50 Years in Europe’s ‘Gateway to the World’

HAMBURG, Germany /ScoopCloud/ -- In 1970, a student from the University of Hamburg traveled to Canada, where she learned of the book Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health by L. Ron Hubbard. Returning to the city, she shared it with friends, and they set up a study group in one of their homes to learn about Dianetics and other Scientology books. This led to the establishment of the Church of Scientology in Hamburg.

In 1973, three years after this study group began, Hamburg Scientologists founded the first Church of Scientology Mission in the city. The Mission grew to a Church of Scientology, and the Ideal Church of Scientology of Hamburg was dedicated in January 2012.

Known as "The Gateway to the World," Hamburg is the largest seaport in Germany and an important link for trade between Central and Eastern Europe. It is also the second most populous city in the country, after Berlin.

Scientologists, distinguished guests and friends gathered at the Church at Domstraße 9 in the heart of Hamburg to celebrate this golden anniversary.

Scientologists reflected on what they have accomplished over the past 50 years, and they set their sights on the future, not only for the religion but for the city.

Their first half-century in Hamburg was not without challenges. The history of all new religions is marked by controversy and intolerance and Scientology was no exception. Scientologists had to overcome ignorance, confused and false ideas about their beliefs and practices, and outright bigotry. But they prevailed. The Church continued to grow, provide services to its congregation and the community, and worked with other German Scientologists to achieve religious recognition in Hamburg and throughout Germany.

Scores of German judicial decisions affirm the rights of the Church of Scientology and its members to the protections of freedom of religion and belief as granted in Article 4 of the German Constitution. A summary of key decisions can be viewed on the Scientology Religious Freedom website.

Scientology comprises a body of knowledge that extends from certain fundamental truths. Prime among these are:

Man is an immortal spiritual being.

His experience extends well beyond a single lifetime.

His capabilities are unlimited, even if not presently realized.

Scientologists are committed to achieving the Aims of Scientology as envisioned by Founder L. Ron Hubbard: "A civilization without insanity, without criminals and without war, where the able can prosper and honest beings can have rights, and where Man is free to rise to greater heights."

Hamburg Scientologists extend their help through humanitarian initiatives and social betterment programs to better the lives of others and ensure a brighter future for all:

* United for Human Rights promotes respect and raises awareness of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights to protect and secure the rights and freedoms to which everyone is entitled.

* The Truth About Drugs education and prevention initiative educates youth about the dangers of the most commonly abused drugs so they can make a firm commitment to live drug-free.

* The Way to Happiness Foundation promotes a common-sense moral code that helps individuals make positive decisions or choices to better the quality of their own lives and the lives of others.

* Citizens Commission on Human Rights is a mental health watchdog that exposes psychiatric abuses of human rights and protects individuals from abusive or coercive practices in the field of mental health.

* The Volunteer Ministers program is a religious social service developed by Mr. Hubbard in 1973 and sponsored by the Church of Scientology International. Volunteer Ministers serve in times of disaster great and small, whether helping a neighbor to repair their marriage or improve conditions at work or providing relief at the site of natural or manmade disasters at home or abroad. Hundreds of thousands of people are trained in the skills of a Volunteer Minister across 185 nations.

The Church of Scientology Hamburg is an Ideal Scientology Organization. Set out in the writings of L. Ron Hubbard and implemented by Scientology ecclesiastical leader Mr. David Miscavige, Ideal Scientology Organizations are Scientology Churches configured to provide the full services of the Scientology religion to its parishioners and to the community.

For more information on the Scientology religion, visit the Scientology Information Center at your nearest Scientology Church, or watch programming on the Scientology Network on DIRECTV Channel 320, DIRECTV STREAM, AT&T U-verse or streaming at Scientology.tv, on mobile apps, and via the Roku, Amazon Fire and Apple TV platforms.

High Rates and Low Supply Drag Down Mortgage Volume in MCT October Indices Report

SAN DIEGO, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Mortgage Capital Trading, Inc. (MCT®), a leading mortgage hedge advisory and secondary marketing software firm, reported today a significant dip of 13.29% in mortgage lock volume over the prior month.

Following the last month-over-month 4.76% drop, this downward trend in mortgage lock volume is attributed to an increase in mortgage rates throughout the last month to high sixes and low sevens as the primary culprit, and lack of supply and unattractive housing values being secondary reasons. "We are hopeful that we will get some better sentiment from the Fed in either its November or December meeting which would allow for some relief for rates," said Andrew Rhodes, Senior Director, Head of Trading at MCT, "But without that, high-interest rates will continue to be the prevailing force weighing on the market."

Eyes in the coming winter months will be on any shift in CPI and non-farm payroll, two indicators the Fed will look to as it makes its decisions for the rest of the winter and into Q1. "As long as those numbers continue to stay strong or in line with the consensus, I believe the rates are going to stay where they are. If we see a strong shift in either direction for CPI or non-farm payroll, that could mean we will either see an increase in rates or we will get more verbiage on pausing and it being close to terminal." states Mr. Rhodes.

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.

FormFree partners with original ‘Shark’ and iconic entrepreneur Kevin Harrington to launch Passport portable financial ID

ATHENS, Ga. /ScoopCloud/ -- FormFree® has partnered with serial entrepreneur Kevin Harrington of "Shark Tank" fame to promote Passport®, a free service that makes it easy for consumers to quantify their borrowing power and share their verified assets, employment, annual and residual income and rent payment history with their preferred lender in just minutes from any web-enabled device.

Passport's comprehensive and streamlined approach to verifying borrowers' ability to pay significantly lowers lenders' operational costs, reduces fraud risk and speeds loans along - all while putting borrowers in control of their data and opening up financial inclusivity to the historically underserved.

Harrington's team will support FormFree's October 20 launch of Passport with advisory and marketing services, including the engagement of financial advisors, real estate agents and social media influencers in sharing the service with consumers who are ready to use their credit to achieve financial goals such as consolidating debts or financing the purchase of an automobile or home.

Brent Chandler, founder and CEO of FormFree, pioneered digital asset verification with the 2009 launch of AccountChek®, a service that was used by more than 3,500 mortgage lenders to verify more than $4 trillion in borrower assets before its strategic divestiture to Stewart Information Services Corporation (NYSE: STC) subsidiary Informative Research in March 2023. With the consumer debut of Passport, Chandler aims to transform the lending industry once again with technology that leapfrogs current financing barriers.

"Kevin [Harrington] is a masterful communicator. Together we're reshaping credit access with Passport by giving consumers direct control over their data for the first time," said Chandler. "As we initiate this transformative shift in lending, our focus on low income and minority buyers is unwavering. They are at the heart of this change and stand to reap significant benefits."

"Having to gather and provide dozens of documents just to understand their own borrowing capacity deters countless consumers from applying for financing - and it's a hurdle they have to clear again and again if they want to apply with several lenders and compare offers," added Harrington. "Passport makes it practical for consumers to share their always up-to-date financial data with a marketplace of lenders all at once and consider multiple, competitive offers."

Chandler and Harrington will appear together at the Mortgage Bankers Association Annual Convention and Expo in Philadelphia next week to introduce Passport to mortgage industry participants and preview the FormFree Exchange (FFX), the online marketplace where lenders compete for the business of Passport users.

"This idea is something we've been working on for a while now," said Chandler. "There is already a lot of excitement about how FFX would speed and simplify customer acquisition and help buyers get the best financial products for their needs."

About FormFree®:

FormFree empowers consumers to understand their ability to pay and share it with lenders like never before. Using FormFree's Passport® app, consumers can verify all the core financial data required by loan underwriters - including identity, assets, income, employment credit history and cash-flow data - in seconds. Once consumers are ready to transact, they can anonymously share their verified data on the FormFree Exchange (FFX) and receive immediate offers from a marketplace of lenders who fully understand their ability to pay, residual income and eligibility for down payment assistance and inclusive lending programs.

For more information, visit https://www.formfree.com/ or follow FormFree on LinkedIn.

About Kevin Harrington:

Harrington is world renowned as the inventor of the infomercial, pioneer of the "As Seen on TV" brand and one of the original "sharks" on the hit ABC show "Shark Tank." He has launched more than 20 businesses that have each grown sales in excess of $100 million as part of a career that has introduced 1,000+ products generating over $6 billion in global sales.
