This one-day event is the second iteration of Concordia's domestic-focused summit, building on the 2022 United States Summit, which took place in Lexington, KY. Occurring at a pivotal moment in domestic affairs as the country looks toward the 2024 election cycle, this year's gathering will focus on delivering action-oriented public-private solutions to advance national priorities in the key areas of Trade, Manufacturing, & Supply Chains, Workforce Development & the Future of Work in a New Economy, and Health Opportunities & Challenges, with an overarching focus on leveraging the scale and buy-in of key private sector players.

Placing Concordia's inclusive and nonpartisan approach at its core, the Summit will provide a necessary platform for both multi-sector and bipartisan collaboration to effectively drive innovative solutions to the country's most pressing issues. It will occur at the headquarters of global analytics and AI leader SAS, a long-time collaborator of Concordia's and a Principal Programming Sponsor of the event.

"As the United States navigates an increasingly challenging domestic environment - with increased geopolitical tensions, rising inflation rates, industry and supply chain disruptions, and much more - Concordia will provide a key platform to bring together public and private sector leaders to explore market-led solutions that shape the outlook for the country," commented Concordia's Co-Founder & CEO, Matthew Swift. "We look forward to collaborating with government officials and U.S. businesses as we collectively identify opportunities for collaboration, innovation, and progress in the domestic agenda."

"Our mission at SAS is to provide knowledge in the moments that matter through being the most trustworthy analytics partner on the planet," said Paula Henderson, SAS' Executive Vice President and Chief Sales Officer for the Americas and a speaker at the inaugural United States Summit last year. "Hosting Concordia and this impactful event focused on finding solutions, opportunities, and innovations aligns perfectly with our ambition to use analytics to inspire a safer, faster, healthier, and more equitable world."

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 26, 2023, 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, "I'm Doing this For Me" highlights sun safety as an important way to take care of yourself and those around you.

"Don't Fry Day is a great reminder as we head into the summer that we all need to be protecting our skin day in and day out," says Cody Barnett, MPH, co-chair of the National Council on Skin Cancer Prevention's Don't Fry Day campaign. "We know that sun safety works to lower your risk of developing skin cancer, including melanoma, later in life. So, protect your skin for your future self and encourage those around you to do the same."

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. Over 90% of all skin cancer is caused by exposure to ultraviolet radiation from the sun or indoor tanning devices.

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 15th 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 2023 Don't Fry Day Toolkit and to incorporate the graphics, messages, and more into your own social media.

About The National Council on Skin Cancer Prevention:

The National Council on Skin Cancer Prevention is the united voice of 45 groups dedicated to reducing skin cancer morbidity and mortality in the United States.

Sedona Lago Gardens, a new Community Empowering Neurodiversity, launches an innovative Free Summer Webinar Series Exploring ‘Relationships on the Spectrum,’ ‘Independent Living Life Skills,’ and ‘Launching Careers’

SEDONA, Ariz. /ScoopCloud/ -- Sedona Lago Gardens is excited to announce the opening of a new residential community for young adults with neurodiversity, like autism. Sedona Lago will showcase their innovative approach in a free Summer webinar series exploring "Relationships on the Spectrum," "Independent Living Life Skills," and "Launching Careers."

Opening in July of 2023, the village-like community offers a customized "Pathways to Independence" program with curriculums in four targeted domains: Independent Living, Social Awareness and Achievement, Vocational Skills and Management, and Personal Health and Wellness.

"Our community offers unprecedented opportunities for self-directed neurodivergent young adults to polish their skills, pursue their dreams, and become more independent," said Gary Wagner, Founder and President of Sedona Lago Gardens.

The free Summer webinar series will cover three topics: "Relationships on the Spectrum," "Independent Living Life Skills," and "Launching Careers." Each 60-minute webinar will include a brief introduction to Sedona Lago Gardens, a 20-minute presentation-style discussion, followed by an interactive Q&A.

"We are excited to offer a fun, educational, and interactive webinar series," shares Life Coach Erin Boisrond.

The webinar series will be held on June 16, June 30, and July 7 from 11 a.m. to noon MDT. For more information and to register, visit https://sedonalago.org/ or call 928-325-8400.

Research shows that neurodiversity, such as autism, is extensively linked to deficits in executive functioning skills. Sedona Lago selects 11 executive functioning domains (task initiation, attention, working memory, time management, organization, planning, flexibility, perseverance, processing, emotional regulation, and impulse control) to target deficits and increase individual productivity. These skills are embedded in the fully customized curriculum. They will also be woven into the webinar discussions.

"Young adults with neurodiversity face unique challenges often coupled with anxiety related to the demand to perform both at the high school and postsecondary levels. Increased academic, social, and personal challenges frequently develop in the mid to late teen years, making it difficult for adults with neurodiversity like autism to find independent success and feel confident in their skill set," added Boisrond. "This is why it is so important for us to customize programs and experiences for each individual."

The Pathways to Independence program is also available to individuals living in the Verde Valley area. It utilizes an evidence-based curriculum and individually customized programming developed by professionals as part of the psychological and educational assessment process.

About Sedona Lago Gardens:

Sedona Lago Gardens and the Pathways to Independence Program offer a pioneering approach for self-directed young adults with neurodiversity, including ADHD, autism, fetal alcohol syndrome, cognitive challenges, or other neurodivergent capabilities. Their highly focused, one-on-one coaching is based on the stated life goals of each resident and integrated with the rest of the community and work life. They are a 501(c)(3) charitable nonprofit community and an affiliate of Rainbow Acres.

After 50 years, H.E. Hodge Company, Cumming athletic and institutional equipment company, kicks off a new season of ownership

CUMMING, Ga. /ScoopCloud/ -- DeJazz Woods has always had a love for sports. He has been around athletic equipment since childhood football, leading him to play at the collegiate level as an outside linebacker for the University of Illinois from 2010 - 2014. Upon graduation, armed with a master's degree, his career would take off in the athletic equipment industry. As a Business Development Manager for three major athletic equipment manufacturers, Woods would cross paths with Jeff Hodge, President of H.E. Hodge Company, and Bud Hodge, the company's founder, who are both huge college football fans. They began mentoring Woods in the athletic equipment industry, which would score a winning touchdown for each team.

In the late 60s, Bud Hodge, Jeff's father, served as Southeast Regional Manager with Brunswick Bowling which had diversified into a school division. This division specialized in school equipment, and Bud called on school systems to offer classroom, athletic, and institutional equipment solutions. Under his leadership and partnership with his wife, June, sales in the Southeast rocketed from $300K to over $3.5M in 3 years. With these impressive results, he was offered the Brunswick School Division Dealership for the Southeast in 1972. This dealership offering was the beginning of the H. E. Hodge Company. Eventually, Jeff took the company reins and has built a strong reputation as a merit-based business with a tradition of success in providing quality facility solutions. For 50 years, H.E. Hodge company's objectives have been to exceed customer expectations. With Jeff eyeing retirement, he considered passing the company on to the next generation. Woods met the owners of H.E. Hodge in 2016 at a job site for a customer in Chamblee, GA. After several years of mentoring Woods, they realized they had found their successor. Woods became the new owner in November 2022 and is poised to take the company to the next level.

Woods is carrying on the family-owned tradition, bringing his fiancé Karina Gomez onto his leadership team. Her role at H.E. Hodge focuses on marketing, branding, communications, lead generation, and other functions that facilitate daily operations. He is focusing on cultivating improvements within the company processes and developing the company's product offering. Woods is also working on improving the customer experience and creating resolutions for the customer's complex needs. His strategy is to provide a quality turn-key solution for all H.E. Hodges customers. H.E. Hodge's standards will exceed customer expectations with innovation and integrity.

Today, H.E. Hodge Company specializes in the preliminary planning, specification writing, budgeting, engineering, field measuring, project managing, and installation of specialty athletic equipment such as goals, lockers, and bleachers for schools and municipalities. H.E. Hodge Company will continue to evolve. Its mission moving forward is to serve our customers based on their need for efficient facility operations and services that ensure our clients have fully operable facilities to coordinate their programming and facilitate their community needs. While the ownership has changed, the winning spirit of the business remains the same.

Meet a Scientologist Carries the Future with Cristal Logothetis

LOS ANGELES, 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 humanitarian Cristal Logothetis on May 23, 2023.

Cristal Logothetis started the nonprofit organization Carry the Future to send baby carriers to Syrian refugees after seeing news reports of the harrowing journeys that families fleeing with babies faced. What started as her simple act of kindness has grown into a movement of thousands joining in to help save the lives of children.

ABOUT CRISTAL LOGOTHETIS

Born in Madrid, Spain, Cristal Logothetis moved to the United States at only eight years old and remained keenly aware of the hardships she endured emigrating and trying to assimilate into a foreign culture.

One day while scrolling through her newsfeed, she saw the image of a three-year-old Syrian boy who drowned off the coast of a Greek island as his family was fleeing the violence in their homeland. The experience left an indelible impression upon her and ignited a sense of "radical compassion." Wanting to assist the refugee families in any way she could, she decided to collect 100 baby carriers through a crowdfunding website. Within days, she hadn't merely surpassed her goal, she filled storage lockers with over 900 carriers--which she then personally helped distribute to refugee families.

Today, Cristal's nonprofit, Carry the Future, counts over 50 volunteer staff members with 6,000 global volunteers and has distributed more than 30,000 carriers in refugee crisis zones around the world.

ABOUT DESTINATION: SCIENTOLOGY, AUCKLAND

Auckland, New Zealand, is a modern metropolis on the northern New Zealand island, surrounded by spectacular natural wonders and infused with Polynesian culture. The convergence of influences from the Western world with indigenous Maori traditions has transformed this city into a world-class destination unlike anywhere else on Earth.

Scientology's roots in New Zealand extend back to 1955, when the Church of Scientology of Auckland was founded there as only the second Scientology Church in the world.

In this episode, viewers will not only visit some of the stunning landscapes that have helped this Pacific island paradise become one of the most sought-after locations for film and television productions, but they will also tour the historic Church itself.

The building is a landmark site originally established in 1844, which later served as the Trinity Methodist Theological College to train theologians who would later carry out missions throughout the Pacific Rim. And today it is where Scientologists are working to keep this diverse and unique island culture thriving well into the future.

Kashmir Conclave in California Sparks Economic Collaboration and Trade Opportunities for Jammu & Kashmir

MILPITAS, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- The highly anticipated Kashmir Conclave 2023, held in Milpitas, California, brought together distinguished attendees, including Milpitas City Mayor Carmen Montana, accomplished lawyer and CPA Neeraj Bhatia, and prominent Kashmiri figure Jeevan Zutshi, along with Tasawar Jalali, to discuss and explore crucial trade, economic development, and collaboration opportunities for the dynamic region of Jammu & Kashmir.

The event brought together industry experts in import-export laws, taxation, and other key stakeholders to explore and strengthen economic ties between the two regions.

During her address at the event, Mayor Carmen Montana emphasized the paramount importance of promoting trade and economic development. She showcased Milpitas City's unwavering commitment to supporting the Kashmir Conclave team in establishing fruitful partnerships with businesses in the Jammu & Kashmir region. Mayor Montana applauded the city's relentless efforts in attracting businesses, including the visionary plans for an innovation district, specifically designed to allure enterprises to Milpitas.

Neeraj Bhatia, an esteemed accounting professional based in Silicon Valley, shared invaluable insights during the conclave, drawing upon his expertise in international and domestic tax planning, startups, and multinational entities.

Power Choice Texas encourages Texans to shop for a better Texas Electricity Rate, before the Summer Heat Season

DALLAS, Texas /ScoopCloud/ -- The National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) forecast and ERCOT's record peak summer power use predictions are a recipe for higher electricity bills this summer. For that reason, Power Choice Texas (PowerChoiceTexas.org) encourages Texans to shop for a better Texas Electricity Rate before the summer cooling season starts.

NOAA's 6 month weather forecast for Texas indicates a high probability of a warmer than average summer. As a result, the Texas Grid Operator, ERCOT, predicts record summer electricity usage. Both these factors mean Texas residents will likely run their AC systems longer to keep cool, resulting in higher-than-normal Texas electricity bills.

But there's some good news. Natural gas prices have dropped from record highs, cutting fuel costs to Texas generators. That means this spring is the perfect time to lock in a cheap electricity rate.

While electricity choice and increased control of your energy supplier is a good thing, the abundance of options can make it overwhelming. There are currently over 1,000 plans available from over 50 active electricity providers available in Texas. And each plan comes with different terms, rates, and promotions. If you are not well-versed in the Texas Electricity market, all these options may confuse you into choosing the wrong plan. And that could cost you serious money, especially during the summer heat.

But now, everything you need to shop for Texas electricity companies can all be found on one site. PowerChoiceTexas.org provides side by side comparisons of providers, as well as their plans and rates. Our team is continuously monitoring the market to find plans with the best rates, which they then showcase right at the top of the page in the Preferred Section.

Plus, the site provides Texas shoppers additional resources that include Credit Score, EFL (Energy Facts Label), Usage and Utility Fees, Texas Solar, and Green Energy Buyers' Guides. With extreme summer heat likely, these resources can really help Texas residents use their power to choose the best Electricity rate.

Award-winning universal vaccine method calls for deeper scientific exploration – The Slammer Method

CHESAPEAKE, Va. /ScoopCloud/ -- A new universal vaccine method developed by Eric Kikkert is outlined in an article he wrote called: "The Slammer Method: How to create effective vaccines." It recently appeared in the "Journal of Infectious Diseases and Therapy" and is proposed to work in not just humans, but animals too. The material was presented at the 2023 12th International Conference for Tropical Medicine and Infectious Disease in London, received an award and established as a universal method to create effective vaccines.

As the name denotes, The Slammer Method, quite literally places the organism into "The Slammer" and crushes it through powerful force. The method entails using a series of approaches to dismantle the organism and prepare it for the body's immune system.

It's a new and inspirational method which uses the concepts of physics, biologics and natural extremes to combat an ever-changing environment of infectious diseases.

While the method is rudimentary in design, it's through its simplicity that great things are achievable. It all starts with a container that's capable of withstanding vast amounts of pressure and then subjecting an organism to multiple tests. In turn, these tests will determine how to proceed should the organism cease to function with pressure alone. After that, the next steps can happen which include adding the chemical equivalent of the enzyme or MPO used by the white blood cell to break down the organism.

Medical research will be able to verify that the organism is unable to feed or reproduce and The Slammer Method can be used for all infectious diseases, including HIV. It's derived from several factors in nature and has untapped possibilities.

"The potential to save countless lives is very real," Kikkert says. "It should be seriously explored through modern science, medical research and technological engineering."

About Eric Kikkert:

Eric Kikkert has expertise in mechanical engineering and physics. He has a deep understanding of quantum relativity, quantum structures and mechanics and has produced advanced mathematical methods and concepts to create new formulas which permit unification of physics and relativity. It's here that he commits his understandings to biology to reverse engineer the quantum structure with particle physics.

Shattering Barriers in Fine Arts Education: The Vocal Gym Unveils World’s First Full-Credit Homeschool Course for Singing

ORLANDO, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- Throga announces a new online course for singing, specifically designed for homeschool students. Singing has long been considered outside the scope of most homeschool training, as the intricacies of the arts and technical complexities involved in vocal training present particular challenges in a home learning environment.

But now Richard Fink IV, a vocalist recognized by Guinness World Records and named "world's leading online vocal coach" by the Wall Street Journal, is set to redefine the terrain.

His revolutionary approach to vocal training will launch as the world's first ever full-credit homeschool course for singing. The course, the Vocal Gym by Throga, will be released at the FPEA Florida Homeschool Convention in Orlando on May 25th, 2023 to make singing readily accessible to all, especially homeschoolers.

Taking a scientific approach, Fink methodically dissected the voice, demystifying this instrument we cannot touch or see, and making it as teachable as any other tangible instrument. The patented technique he developed involves breaking down the voice into the 7 Dimensions of Singing: flexibility of the vocal folds, breath management, intonation for pitch control, vocal range, tonal quality, articulation of sound, and strength in maintaining vocal stability and stamina.

The course aims to spark creativity, nurture cognitive development, enhance emotional well-being, and promote self-expression and critical thinking skills. Homeschoolers can now refine their vocal skills, explore the thrill of performance, and earn a full fine arts credit, on their own time and wherever they live across the country.

Tailored for ages 12 and up, the curriculum starts with a personal vocal assessment and provides an individualized learning experience that helps students pinpoint their strengths and areas for improvement. The course boasts a rich resource of 115,000 vocal exercise combinations, over 300 educational videos, and more than 150 hours of lessons, exercises, and activities. The Vocal Gym also offers a parent portal, enabling easy tracking of student progress through automated record-keeping, taking the stress out of lesson planning.

"The course isn't just for students interested in a career in the performing arts, it can be for any student who wants to learn how to sing or to talk more confidently by using their instrument, their voice, in a much better way," said Peggy Ployhar, founder and CEO of SPED Homeschool. With performance and writing assignments and even scientific principles that can be credited for additional hours, "the Vocal Gym truly covers it all," she said. "No matter what type of learner your student is, there are text, audio, video, diagrams, and activities for them to be engaged in."

This pioneering initiative marks a significant step in enriching homeschool education, arming students with the necessary tools to cultivate essential communication and stage skills for a successful future.

Former Army Ranger Leads The Battle Against Synthetic Drugs On Voices For Humanity

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /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 crusader Lance Dyer on May 17, 2023.

When synthetic drugs first appeared on convenience store shelves in the late 2000s, the U.S. government was slow to realize the dangerous effects of these so-called "legal highs." But with over 42,000 cases of toxic poisoning in just five years, synthetics quickly grew into a national health crisis. Today, Lance Dyer is educating the nation about synthetics, facing the crisis head-on -- and winning.

ABOUT LANCE DYER

Lance Dyer, a native of Atlanta, Georgia, joined the U.S. Army in 1982 and went on to become a member of its elite Ranger unit. In 2012, his 14-year-old son, Dakota, took synthetic "marijuana" for the first and only time, and as a reaction to the toxin took his own life. His death inspired Lance to spearhead an effort to hold the manufacturers of the drug accountable. The evidence he gathered and turned over to the Drug Enforcement Administration was used to help arrest and convict 13 people who were directly involved in his son's death. Lance partnered with the Foundation for a Drug-Free World to continue the work of educating kids, parents and community leaders and helping local, state and federal legislators become aware of the dangers of synthetics and pass effective legislation to ban them.

Lance Dyer is the founder and director of the Dakota Dyer Foundation, a nonprofit founded to help educate youth and communities on the truth about synthetic drugs.

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.

Surviving the Outback Recreates Epic Challenge of Survival on Documentary Showcase

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Scientology Network's Documentary Showcase, the weekly series providing a platform for independent filmmakers to air films on important social, cultural and environmental issues, presents the documentary "Surviving the Outback."

"Surviving the Outback" is inspired by the true story of two German aviators who, in 1932, became stranded deep in the Australian Outback and survived a remarkable 43 days before being rescued by Aboriginal locals. Using the original chronicle of the events as told by one of the pilots in his book "Flight Into Hell," this feature-length documentary captures the stunning beauty and majesty of nature as the filmmaker attempts to recreate the aviators' plight in the ultimate test of survival.

Michael Atkinson used handheld cameras and drones to entirely self-film his endeavor into the unforgiving Australian Outback. With no back-up crew or two-way communication with the outside world, Michael uses only the materials available to the original pilots and his skills as a survival instructor to live off the land as he retraces their original route through rough seas, forbidding terrain and crocodile-infested waters.

ABOUT MICHAEL ATKINSON

Michael Atkinson was struck when he was a child with a passion for filming his experiences in the extreme outdoors. He became a full-time military pilot for the Australian Defense Force and flew everything from helicopters to fighter jets. He also taught survival skills to pilots in northern Australia. "Surviving the Outback" is his first feature-length documentary.

In an interview with Scientology Network for DOCUMENTARY SHOWCASE, Michael reflected on his mission:

"My hope when people see the film is that they will see the value in remote and beautiful areas.... I'm glad that people will be able to see Aboriginal culture and that audiences are going to see the Kimberley, probably love it and therefore want to protect it."

ABOUT DOCUMENTARY SHOWCASE

Fundamental to Scientology is a humanitarian mission that extends to some 200 nations with programs for human rights, human decency, literacy, morality, drug prevention and disaster relief. For this reason, the Scientology Network provides a platform for independent filmmakers who embrace a vision of building a better world.

‘GOSPEL SOUL OF ELVIS’ wows crowds in Mineola Texas

MINEOLA, Texas /ScoopCloud/ -- Elvis Presley is a state of mind. Mark Rios would be the first person to tell you this. Rios is a lifelong fan of The King. But it wasn't until relatively recently that this North Texas actor and director was able to converge his acting and directing careers and dedicate them to exploring his long-standing dream of exploring Elvis Presley's spiritual side.

This dream came together in his new traveling play, "The Gospel Soul of Elvis."

After debuting in Dallas, Rios and crew performed the play at the oldest continuously operating theatre in Texas - the historic Lake Country Playhouse, 114 N. Johnson St in Mineola.

The cast included Rios, Mary Lee Gonzalez, Malik Johnson, Randy Burk, Dasiana Preston, Olivia Simms, Ben Tinsley, and J. Douglas Barker.

The show ran in Mineola for three days April 28-30 to much acclaim.

Neita Fran Ward, ART CONNECTION OF EAST TEXAS, said she really appreciated what the cast did with the performance.

"Every Elvis fan has heard the gospel songs Elvis loved and performed,' she said. "Mark Rios and his backup music group thoughtfully transported the audience back into the music and stories of The King of Rock and Roll with their performance in a relaxed and casual setting. Great voices and entertaining stories."

A friend and colleague of Rios, Victor Rjesnjansky ("Slick Vic" from the hit A&E TV series "Storage Wars Texas") was also impressed.

"Not being a huge fan of Elvis, this was a look into his life from a different venue - hanging out in his penthouse after the show with all his friends," Rjesnjansky said.

Rjesnjansky said it was educational to find out these things about Elvis. "I found myself riveted with interest during the whole show after speaking with creator Mark Rios," he said. "Mark informed me that every show is a little different with little tweaks here and there."

"Definitely worth the trip to see the show. I give it five stars," Rjesnjansky said.

Indeed, Rios has carried the idea for the show around for some time. But it was only in recent months that he transformed his idea into "full-on musical reality."

A lot of Mark's colleagues know him as a great local actor whose mobster show "A Family Thing," is really starting to catch fire on several venues.

But up until recently, not many heard Rios say a word about an Elvis show.

Ben Tinsley, Rios' assistant director and the actor who plays Col. Parker in the show, was initially quite surprised. "Mark called me one day, talking about a stage show with him playing Elvis, and I was like, 'Do WHAT?'" Tinsley said.

Tinsley, like Rjesnjansky, had never before experienced an Elvis-related show. But Tinsley knew a winner when he saw it. He said it was an honor to be asked to join the cast as Col. Parker.

"When I first saw Mark do Elvis during the show, I thought to myself, 'Whoa. He's NOT doing some silly Elvis charactature or impersonation. He's really digging deep.' I was astounded."

The Texas Theater presents The Gospel Soul of Elvis on Friday, August 18 2023 at 8 p.m., Texas Theater - Waxahachie, TX.

‘Prison Audio’ Multimedia Production Company Gives A Voice To The Incarcerated Worldwide

TORONTO, Ontario /ScoopCloud/ -- Being incarcerated is a world of its own that a lot of people don't know anything about. Have you ever really wondered what happens inside these facilities with the incarcerated? And what transpired in their lives for them to end up incarcerated? Founded in 2022, by William Michael Tweedy, Prison Audio is a multimedia production company that produces many prison related podcasts, which help develop and teach an incarcerated individual the ability to write and tell first person stories to the outside world.

"We work with current and formerly incarcerated men as well as women in order to get their stories shared with the public because we feel it will help change the narrative in regards to how the public views incarcerated individuals," William Tweedy said.

"Also, it will give anyone in the outside world who listens a chance to learn what goes on in prison, whether it may be good or bad," he said.

Since being founded in 2022, William has launched several podcasts and additionally have more in the pre production stages.

"We have an ongoing podcast called 'Crash: Luis Miguel Salinas Story,' which dives into LAPD's Rampart scandal as well as Luis' personal life story," William said.

Luis is serving a life sentence for an attempted murder he did not do, "So this podcast was created to spread his message and share the Rampart scandal story as it's still sadly affecting a lot of families today," William said.

"Crazy Prison Stories" is where an incarcerated person tells a story about life inside prison.

"This podcast gives real and detailed accounts of the reality of prison and what happens in these environments on a daily basis whether the stories are funny, serious, scary, sad, or transformative.

"Also, they can speak about 'Prison Rules' they live by daily. These are not infractions that the prison itself may give out, but the code of jailing. And we give them the opportunity to promote their personal projects on their episode," William added.

Then they have the "Voiceless Behind Bars" podcast with Sarah DeArmond, who also runs a nonprofit called Voiceless Behind Bars. "I do interview family and friends at times, but my main focus is on the cases of Timothy Mcgruder and Efren Medina, who are both currently fighting wrongful convictions," Sarah said.

Lastly, they have the "BCFM (Brick City Face Mask), the Dawan Ingram Story" podcast that was just created in January 2023 by Dawan Ingram and William Tweedy.

"We get the chance to tell Dawan's story and show how bad gun violence was in New Jersey in 2013. Most people can't understand why someone would get charged with a shooting if they did not do it, but this is what happened to Dawan," William said.

"If we can show how common shootings were, then we can show how it's possible to be falsely accused and that's one of our main goals," Dawan said.

They believe if they can show how growing up in an area full of gun violence affected Dawan that more people will be more inclined to him (and others) receiving a second chance in life to be released.

Prison Audio is giving the world an inside look into the lives of the incarcerated in various ways, which are authentic and raw.

"The more people that listen to any of these podcasts, it will help shed a light on the incarcerated population in so many ways and that's our purpose. These men and women are still human beings no matter how they ended up incarcerated. We're giving the public ways to at least hear them out and listen to their stories," William said.

Prison Audio podcasts are available on all major streaming platforms, including YouTube, Spotify, iTunes, and Google podcast.

After, Inc. just published a first-of-its-kind ‘Warranty Claims Scoring 101’ guide, giving manufacturers an in-depth look at how automated claims scoring is transforming the industry

NORWALK, Conn. /ScoopCloud/ -- After, Inc., a global leader in Warranty Services since 2005, developed a "Warranty Claims Scoring 101" guide, leveraging the expertise of its world-class Warranty Analytics team and over 17 years of claim scoring experience. Warranty Claims Scoring is a discipline not widely understood. Few in the industry know how these models are built and implemented, and the significant cost savings they can deliver. After, Inc. developed this guide to educate manufacturers, specifically now, when high inflation, layoffs, and supply chain issues are accelerating the need for warranty business transformation.

After, Inc.'s Group Director of Analytics, Dan Adelsberg, widely respected in the industry for his warranty-specific expertise, helped create this guide.

"What we see when we analyze clients' current systems is their use of basic business rules to process warranty claims," said Adelsberg. "For example, one manufacturer might automatically approve all claims below a certain cost. Another might check whether labor and parts costs are accurate, but neglect to compare those costs across similar dealers in its network. These examples and many others like them illustrate the need for more sophisticated claims scoring models - models that can better identify anomalies and save manufacturers millions in claim costs every year."

After, Inc.'s "Warranty Claims Scoring 101" guide covers:

* What is warranty claims scoring?

* How does it work?

* What challenges does claims scoring solve?

* How do I implement it?

* What results should I expect?

HOUSTON HALL – NYC’s Famous Beer Hall – Purchased By Havana Central Restaurant CEO/Founder Jeremy Merrin

NEW YORK CITY, N.Y. /ScoopCloud/ -- Jeremy Merrin, CEO/Founder of Merrin Hospitality, is excited to announce the acquisition of NYC's most iconic beer hall, Houston Hall (222 W Houston Street, New York, NY 10014). Located in the heart of the West Village, this expansive venue has been pouring brews and hosting large scale events for decades. Merrin, is owner of the 20 year old high-volume Cuban brand Havana Central, with locations in NYC, Long Island & New Jersey.

Formerly owned by restaurateur Jon Bloostein (Heartland Brewery and Flatiron Hall), Merrin made the purchase in late 2022 seeing an opportunity to expand his private events & catering presence in the New York City area. Besides its popularity as a beer hall, bringing in more than 100,000 guests a year for a robust Happy Hour, Weekend DJ parties and Live Sporting Events, Houston Hall is also an expansive private events space able to host up to 400 guests for corporate & social affairs.

Honored with the "Best of Weddings Award 2023" by The Knot, Houston Hall is a highly sought after venue for couples planning a memorable NYC wedding in a rustic beer hall setting. Beyond nuptials, this 5,000 square foot space is also a top choice among the Manhattan corporate scene looking for a private space with charm. Past clients include: Google, Citi Group, Vayner Media, NBC Universal, Deloitte and Spotify.

Houston Hall is set in a space formerly used first as a stable and then as a FBI garage at the turn of the 20th century. This 6,200 foot expansive space can hold 400+ people, including an upstairs 30-person private VIP Tap Room, complete with a private bar & TV. Guests enter through a cobblestone tunnel, greeted by 100+ year old 50-foot wood beams and trusses, the original garage floor (with parking lines still visible) and towering antique mirrors on muddled brick walls.

With a BA from Tufts University and MBA from Columbia University, Merrin came onto the hospitality scene in 2002 after spending decades in the fine jewelry and publishing businesses. Born and raised on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, Merrin saw an opportunity to bring real Cuban cooking to the masses with his Havana Central concept and brought the brand to life in Union Square in 2002.

Quickly growing out of the small space, Merrin moved the brand in 2005 to its now flagship location in the Heart of Times Square (151 W 46th Street). Known for its boisterous Latin music, homemade Empanadas and hand muddled Mojitos, Havana Central also has locations in Long Island, at the famous Roosevelt Field Mall (630 Old Country Rd, Garden City, NY 11530) and Menlo Park Mall in Edison, NJ (55 Parsonage Road, Edison NJ 08837).

"We live in a very consumer society and we're used to just getting everything fast. Everything--food, fashion--that goes for chocolate as well. We just grab something. We don't think where it comes from. But throughout the process of making the movie, it has changed my whole perspective."

Vice Capital Markets Releases Integration with Freddie Mac Income Limits API

NOVI, Mich. /ScoopCloud/ -- Vice Capital Markets, a leading mortgage hedge advisory firm for independent lenders, banks and credit unions, announced today it is one of the first Freddie Mac-integrated Secondary Market Advisors (SMAs) to release an integration with Freddie Mac's Income Limits application programming interface (API). The API grants Vice Capital customers easy access to area median income (AMI) information to quickly determine if a loan meets the AMI percentage eligibility criteria for certain Credit Fee Caps.

"Affordability is top of mind for all lenders these days, and our clients are no exception," said Vice Capital President Troy Baars. "With the new integration to Freddie Mac's Income Limits API, Vice Capital allows our shared clients balance the desire to provide home financing options for mortgage-ready low to-moderate income borrowers while still meeting their secondary execution goals."

In late 2022, Freddie Mac announced targeted pricing changes, including eliminating upfront credit fees for certain borrowers and affordable mortgage products with specific limits on the borrower's income as a percentage of AMI. Integration with the Income Limits API empowers Vice Capital's clients to send income information and the property address to easily assess whether the borrower may qualify for the waiver of certain upfront credit fees. The API identifies loan criteria for the following conditions: High-Cost Area, 120% AMI, High Needs Rural Region Indicator and Rural Area Indicator.

Additionally, the API allows clients to access the area median income limit percentage for loans not currently locked in the pipeline by entering the state and zip code. Lenders can then use this information, along with Exhibit 19 Credit Fees and Exhibit 19A Eligibility Criteria for Credit Fee Caps, to determine if the loan may be eligible for a Freddie Mac Credit Fee Cap.

Income Limits is one of several integrated Freddie Mac APIs that Vice Capital leverages to help its clients extract maximum value from their relationship with Freddie Mac. Other integrated Freddie Mac APIs include Cash Purchase Settlement Statement and Cash-Released Xchange®.

"As an advisor to numerous Freddie Mac Seller/Servicers, these APIs make it tremendously easier for organizations like ours to access pricing and execute cash and guarantor commitments on behalf of our clients," Baars added. "Our long-standing SMA relationship with Freddie Mac is a point of pride for us, and we look forward to continuing to work alongside Freddie Mac to find new and innovative ways to meet our shared clients' individual secondary and capital markets needs."

About Vice Capital Markets:

Since 2001, Vice Capital Markets has successfully managed interest rate risk and maximized profitability on MBS trades and mortgage-related transactions for banks, credit unions and mortgage lenders of all sizes. With an average of more than 10 years' experience behind each of the traders on our team, Vice Capital has helped its clients realize, on average, a 25 to 55 bps improvement over their best effort execution, and Vice Capital's proprietary risk-management models and complex investor and agency best execution platform have consistently yielded safe and effective profit maximization for its clients.

Meet a Scientologist Blends Ancient Herbs and Modern Marketing with Tea Manufacturer Tinny Chen

LOS ANGELES, 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 tea manufacturer Tinny Chen, premiering May 16, 2023.

Through product innovations, her award-winning company is creating a burgeoning market among a younger generation of consumers with its delicious and healthful herbal teas.

ABOUT TINNY CHEN

Tinny Chen grew up learning about the medicinal properties of herbs on her family's small farm in Taiwan. As a teenager, she was discouraged by the physical demands of being a farmer and decided to pursue a degree in foreign languages.

Her mother furthered Tinny's understanding of traditional Chinese herbal medicine, while Tinny implemented modern marketing techniques to promote the medicinal properties of herbs and herbal teas to a younger generation. Today, their company, Daxue Shan (in English, Big Snowy Mountain Farm), is a multiple award-winning agricultural enterprise appealing to health-conscious customers across all generations.
