SAN DIEGO, Calif., Dec. 22, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — The Mortgage Collaborative (TMC), the nation’s leading independent cooperative network for mortgage lenders, today announced it will host the inaugural ACT Technology Summit, short for Accelerator and Collaborative Transformation, a two-day standalone mortgage technology competition and showcase Aug. 12-13 at The Highlands Hotel in Dallas.

The event is open to both TMC members and non-members and marks the cooperative’s first industry-wide technology summit, designed to bring mortgage lenders, emerging technology companies and capital partners together to explore innovation and artificial intelligence in mortgage lending.

The summit will feature approximately 15 technology companies competing across multiple presentation segments, followed by moderated panel interviews and audience Q&A. A live head-to-head challenge will also take place, with companies demonstrating their AI-driven underwriting platforms in real-time. An overall winner will be announced during the event. Participating companies will be announced closer to the summit.

“The mortgage industry faces a critical gap between innovative technology solutions and the lenders who need them,” Jodi Hall, CEO & President at TMC and Operations Manager of the TMC Tech Fund. “ACT creates a collaborative space where technology companies can demonstrate real value, lenders can discover solutions to pressing challenges, and investors can access pre-vetted opportunities and hear the voices of the consumer, all in a concentrated two-day format.”

In addition to main-stage programming, the ACT Technology Summit will include:

  • Pitch competition segments: Technology companies presenting solutions, followed by panel discussion and audience questions
  • Live RFP: On-stage AI underwriting demonstrations where companies respond to lender questions and build loan files in real time
  • Working groups: Lender-only sessions for TMC members, including technology, owner-operator and capital-focused discussions
  • Technology demo space, known as Demo Alley: Dedicated time and space for loan origination system providers to showcase their platforms

Registration details, presenting companies and the full agenda will be released at a later date. To be notified when registration opens and to receive event updates, email TheMortgageCollaborative@mtgcoop.com.

The firm has been recognized in multiple practice areas, including Medical Malpractice Law – Plaintiffs and Personal Injury Litigation – Plaintiffs. Additionally, all four partners have received individual Best Lawyers® honors, with Ira Sherman, Joseph Cammarata, and Allan M. Siegel being named Best Lawyers® for 2026, while Stephen Ollar has been distinguished as One to Watch®, a recognition given to emerging legal talents who exhibit exceptional promise in their practice areas.

“Being named to ‘Best Law Firms’ for consecutive years isn’t just an honor—it’s a testament to our unwavering commitment to excellence and the trust our clients place in us,” said Allan Siegel, Partner at Chaikin, Sherman, Cammarata & Siegel. “While other firms may achieve recognition once, our consistent presence among the nation’s best reflects our dedication to maintaining the highest standards of legal advocacy every single day.”

The “Best Law Firms” rankings, presented by Best Lawyers® in partnership with U.S. News & World Report, are based on a rigorous evaluation process that includes client and lawyer evaluations, peer review from leading attorneys, and review of additional information provided by law firms as part of the formal submission process.

The firm’s ability to maintain such consistent recognition while handling complex personal injury and medical malpractice cases demonstrates their unique position in the legal community. While the team is proud of these prestigious achievements, success is measured not by awards, but by the meaningful impact they make in securing justice and favorable outcomes for their clients.

What If the Future Looked Back at Us? A New Sci-Fi Project Explores Gender, Power, and Perspective

A defining feature of the experience is its eye-catching, hilarious original comic art, which portrays the main characters with biting satire

NEW YORK, N.Y., Dec. 19, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — What if men had to prove they were marriage material? What if men were judged by their biceps and facial symmetry? What if men needed to smile more in order to get promoted? And what if this wasn’t satire – but a classified transmission from the future? Welcome to “Galaxy 360: A Woman’s Playground,” produced by Movement 360 Inc., the feminist sci-fi universe quietly taking over the internet, where gender roles are reversed, power is reimagined, and Earth (circa 2025) is being studied as a fascinating—but deeply flawed—civilization.

GALAXY 360 COMIC ART - main character, Illumina (played by Anna Fishbeyn), tells the audience that they can BOO the male contestants in the beauty pageant in 2195.
Image Caption: GALAXY 360 COMIC ART – main character, Illumina (played by Anna Fishbeyn), tells the audience that they can BOO the male contestants in the beauty pageant in 2195.

Created by writer, director, and performer Anna Fishbeyn, “Galaxy 360” is not just a film—it is a fully built world set in the year 2195, where women rule, men compete in beauty pageants, and female confidence is considered a biological birthright.

Watch Galaxy 360 Trailer – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KdxkIrTHD-I

Clips from the project have already amassed over 60 million views across social media, igniting laughter, backlash, think pieces, and one recurring response from women: “This is funny… but it’s also our lives.”

Early critics have embraced the project’s audacity and originality. Film Daily called it “revolutionary,” adding, “Beam us the hell up.” iHeartRadio praised the film as “otherworldly funny and original,” while Hollywood Chicago went further, calling it “the best hetero date movie ever made.”

According to the future depicted in “Galaxy 360,” men must work out – a lot, maintain elaborate skincare routines with Duck Fat Injections, and plump their lips with a dangerous procedure, known as Tarantula Lip Treatment. They are required to apologize frequently, sincerely, and with moisturized lips. Apologies are so central to future masculinity that the calendar includes an annual observance: The National Sorry Holiday, celebrated every July 15 as a ritual of male accountability.

Women make all major decisions. The future finds these norms not controversial, but evolutionary – beneficial to humanity – expanding its socio-political-economic powers and advances in technology and longevity.

“Galaxy 360” does not lecture. It mirrors.

By flipping gender expectations, it reveals how normalized power becomes invisible – until it is reversed. The humor lands first. The discomfort follows. The conversations linger.

Rather than releasing the project on a traditional streaming platform, Fishbeyn launched Galaxy360.film, an immersive, comic-book-styled experience where audiences do not simply watch a movie—they enter a civilization.

A defining feature of the experience is its eye-catching, hilarious original comic art, which portrays the main characters with Fishbeyn’s signature biting satire. The comic universe is not supplemental—it is central—transforming feminist critique into something visual, playful, and instantly shareable.

Visitors to Galaxy360.film unlock deep sci-fi world-building through the Galaxy 360 Bible, original comic art, “The Labia Files” – a collection of “classified” real-world data extracted from Earth’s cultural archives, “Breaking Earth News,” where women from 2195 analyze modern society, and a community hub that offers daily satirical challenges designed to make you laugh and invites audiences to join and actively participate.

Galaxy 360 Comic Art - the judges, Clement (Lauren LoGiudice), Baroness (Squeaky Moore), Illumina (Anna Fishbeyn), Dalialah (Athena Michaelides), Kyle (David Nash) are discussing the virtue of silent men while judging the male contestants in the Victor's Angels Mr. World Beauty Pageant.

One of the project’s most provocative extensions is “A Day in Matriarchy” – a monthly series where women live in power. Beaming up to the future is not easy. You need to state your desires, figure out the rules, and choose what you want after centuries of being trained to be chosen. Being in power also means: – no apologizing, no qualifying, no backtracking. Men are welcome to the party. The inaugural pilot – Dating in Matriarchy – launches on December 30th. The experience will explore the comedy and tragedy of modern dating through a futuristic lens, offering participants not answers, but a portal into a parallel universe.

Access to the portal is here: https://galaxy360.film/events.

“Galaxy 360” arrives at a moment of cultural exhaustion, when conversations about gender feel stuck—old debates reframed as viral takes, algorithm-fueled narcissism dominating relationship discourse, and hostility stretching from “the lonely guy” to “single for life.” The project offers a different entry point by asking a deceptively simple question:

WHAT IF, INSTEAD OF ARGUING, WE FLIPPED THE WORLD?

As a result, “Galaxy 360” is being shared not only as entertainment, but as a catalyst—for world-building, perspective-shifting, and re-imagining what power looks like when viewed from the outside.

“It’s not about denying our reality,” says Fishbeyn. “It’s about imagining the impossible—and using imagination to shift reality.”

Designed as a loop rather than a one-off watch, Galaxy 360 invites viewers to unlock deeper layers of the world and actively participate in its universe. It does not ask audiences to agree. It dares them to engage.

The future is watching us.
It has questions.
It has notes.
It has jokes.

You can keep scrolling – or you can see what 2195 thinks of 2025.

“Galaxy 360: A Woman’s Playground” is now live at https://galaxy360.film/, inviting audiences to stream the film, explore the comic-driven universe, and imagine a future that can heal us all.

ViewTech Borescopes Launches New Triple-Camera Borescope for Broader Visual Coverage

TRAVERSE CITY, Mich., Dec. 19, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — ViewTech Borescopes announced the introduction of the new VJ-4 8.4mm triple camera borescope this week: engineered to provide a near-360-degree field of view. Using three integrated high-resolution cameras – one forward-facing camera and two side-facing cameras – the triple camera borescope delivers a more comprehensive assessment for the most demanding professional and industrial applications.

ViewTech Borescopes newest industrial inspection video borescope: VJ-4 Triple Camera.
Image caption: ViewTech Borescopes newest industrial inspection video borescope: VJ-4 Triple Camera.

According to ViewTech Borescopes, the triple-camera design allows technicians to transition between camera views without withdrawing the borescope from the inspection area, which may reduce inspection time and support more complete visual assessment of components and assemblies.

Available in insertion tube lengths of 1.5, 3, 5, and 8 meters, the triple camera borescope features full 360-degree mechanical articulation supporting precise navigation during inspections. Articulation is controlled using a thumb-operated joystick, allowing accurate positioning of the distal tip while maintaining operational control. The system supports both still image and video capture to document vital inspection findings.

The new triple camera platform supports picture-in-picture display. This allows for simultaneous viewing of multiple camera feeds. Users in the industrial and manufacturing sectors can switch the primary and inset live views, rotate between selected camera combinations, or hide auxiliary camera views via the touchscreen interface.

Complementing its advanced imaging capabilities, additional proven features include onboard file management with folder selection, reference measurement functionality, optional Wi-Fi connectivity, and a 5.5-inch OLED touchscreen that supports intuitive navigation and on-screen annotation. Mini joystick controls and full HD camera resolution further support clear, detailed inspections, while VJ-4 compatibility with the ODIN Report Maker Program enables efficient creation of standardized, professional inspection reports.

ViewTech’s video borescope experts work closely with clients who depend on intricate, high-value machinery to ensure they select the ideal inspection solution for their needs. Backed by the largest on-site borescope inventory in North America, ViewTech can provide same-day shipping for customers requiring immediate access to inspection equipment.

ViewTech encourages those looking to purchase or replace their remote visual inspection video borescopes to trial a VJ-4 video borescope through their no-cost, no-obligation demo program. This offer allows aviation technicians, owners, or operators to trial a ViewTech video borescope at their own facility and on their own equipment.  

ABOUT VIEWTECH BORESCOPES

ViewTech Borescopes, founded as RF System Lab in 2008, is North America’s #1 seller of video borescopes. Their first product, the VJ borescope, set a new standard for portability, ergonomics, and ease-of-use, with its industry-first mechanical, joystick-controlled articulation. For more than 17 years, ViewTech Borescopes has offered high-quality video borescopes that are critical to the success of companies in every conceivable industry to improve their maintenance, inspection and repair procedures.

VJ-3 & VJ-4 VIDEO BORESCOPE

The VJ-3 and VJ-4 mechanical articulating video borescopes are nondestructive visual testing instruments used for the remote visual inspection of machinery, equipment, and components. With diameters as small as 1.1mm, the VJ-3 and VJ-4 facilitate the visual recording and photo documentation of an inspection and components in areas that are otherwise inaccessible or require great effort and expense to access directly. The VJ-3 and VJ-4 video borescopes consist of two modules integrated into one system: an insertion tube with distally mounted camera/LEDs and the base unit with control panel, LCD monitor, power source, and all necessary circuitries.

freebeat Launches New AI Music Video Generator Built for Singing, Storytelling, and Performance

NEWBURY PARK, Calif., Dec. 18, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — freebeat AI (freebeat.ai), an AI-powered music video creation platform, today announced the launch of a new version of its AI Music Video Generator, introducing a more expressive Music Video Agent that adapts how visuals are created for different types of songs. The update expands freebeat’s music-driven approach by allowing users to generate videos optimized for singing performance, narrative storytelling, or fully automatic visual decision-making based on each track’s rhythm, mood, and structure.

Screenshot of new freebeat dashboard
Image caption: Screenshot of new freebeat dashboard.

As AI-generated music videos become increasingly common across platforms like YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram, creators often face a familiar challenge: visually polished outputs that fail to reflect how a song is meant to be experienced. Vocal-heavy tracks demand believable lip sync and on-camera presence, while narrative songs rely on story progression and emotional pacing. Applying the same visual logic to every track can leave videos feeling disconnected from the music itself.

freebeat addresses this challenge by focusing on how music should be expressed, not just how it should look. The platform analyzes rhythm, tempo, and emotional shifts to guide transitions and scene energy. With this release, freebeat gives its music video agent clearer creative intent, allowing visuals to align more naturally with different musical styles and creative goals.

At the center of the update is an expanded Music Video Agent that introduces three creative modes. Singing mode is built for performance-driven tracks, prioritizing human expression, on-camera presence, and accurate lip sync for artist-led music videos. Storytelling mode focuses on narrative flow, building visual sequences that evolve with verses, choruses, and instrumental sections.

For a hands-off workflow, Automatic mode allows the AI to analyze a song’s structure, energy changes, and emotional tone, then dynamically balance performance elements, narrative visuals, and rhythmic transitions. This approach reduces manual decision-making while producing videos that feel intentional rather than generic.

The new release builds on freebeat’s core capabilities, enabling creators to turn music into full-length, beat-synced videos with minimal effort. In addition to music videos, users can generate AI-powered dance videos, lyric videos, and dynamic captions for music from a single track. Audio can be uploaded directly or linked from platforms such as Spotify, YouTube, and SoundCloud, with outputs optimized for both vertical and horizontal video formats.

freebeat supports both agent-guided workflows and non-agent creation, giving users flexibility depending on their preferred level of automation or control. The platform also integrates multiple leading AI video models within a single interface, allowing creators to explore different visual styles without switching tools or rebuilding projects.

The update is designed for a broad audience, including independent musicians, record labels, content creators, and marketing teams that rely on music-based visuals to engage audiences.

“AI shouldn’t just generate visuals, it should understand how a song works,” said Bruce, CEO and co-founder of freebeat. “These new modes allow our Music Video Agent to adapt its creative decisions based on the structure and intent of each track, while keeping the workflow simple and fast.”

The updated AI Music Video Generator, including the enhanced Music Video Agent, creative modes, and prompt optimization features, is available now through the freebeat platform, with sample AI-generated music videos available for reference in its public gallery – https://freebeat.ai/music-video-generator-agent-gallery.

‘Geek Media’ and YouTube Pioneer Gary ‘Nerdrotic’ Buechler Declares That Simply Believing in Yourself Is Nonsense When It Comes to Success in His Hybrid Comic Book-Memoir ‘Waiting for Nerdrotic’

LOS ANGELES, Calif., Dec. 17, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Gary Buechler is as well known for his pop culture commentary on shows like Piers Morgan as he is on YouTube and Rumble, where millions of fans flock to hear his every un-PC opinion. But few know the dark road he traveled to become a voice of nerd culture. Now, with “Waiting for Nerdrotic: From Prison to YouTube” (ISBN: 978-1964377254 [ebook]; 978-1964377216 [paperback]; 978-1964377261 [hardback]; Legacy Launch Pad Publishing), Buechler is sharing his story with the public at large.

Waiting For Nerdrotic by Gary Buechler
Image caption: “Waiting For Nerdrotic,” by Gary Buechler.

While the book was released under a special pre-order campaign earlier this year (which sold nearly four thousand copies), it is now available widely.

“Before I was Nerdrotic, I was just Gary, a guy who slept beneath a bush in front of a Long John Silver’s,” Buechler says. “I’m proof that even when you’re down and out, you can turn your life around if you’re willing to change.”

Packed with Buechler’s trademark edgy humor and featuring illustrated comic pages from a niche fellowship of artists, “Waiting for Nerdrotic” is a tale of triumph against the odds. It tells the tale of Buechler’s non-linear path, which includes getting sober and starting a family with his first true love before opening a successful comic shop in San Francisco—only to then find himself as engulfed in addiction as he had been before rehab.

“I suddenly realized I was doing enough cocaine to make Hunter Biden do a double take,” he says. “I thought getting sober once and finding success would be enough, but that just wasn’t the case.”

After his dream comic book business folded and his wife kicked him out of the house, he found himself back in rehab, on the brink of losing his family. With so much to lose, recovery stuck—and after pouring his passions into a YouTube channel, he found a version of success that was truly sustainable.

In “Waiting for Nerdrotic,” Buechler gives readers an inside look at how he became a pop culture commentator—and how close he came multiple times to losing everything he’d worked for. With humor and vulnerability, he inspires his fans and anyone on life’s fringes to pursue a life truly worth living, dodging pitfalls and personal demons on the way. Perhaps above all, Buechler makes a public commitment to take his own advice—and to ongoing recovery.

“There’s a myth out there about believing in yourself being the key to success, and it’s b.s.,” he says. “You can believe in yourself all day long and not get anywhere. It’s about believing in something you love, something that brings you joy.”

Buechler’s recovery memoir, “Waiting for Nerdrotic,” is available now on Amazon, Barnes & Noble and other major online booksellers.

AgingIN Hosts Executive Symposium Exploring the Future of Human-Centered Aging

ReImagining Care Models Conference in New Orleans, January 21 and 22, Open for Registration

NEW ORLEANS, La., Dec. 17, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — With skilled nursing margins tightening, reimbursement uncertainty rising, and older adults wanting more personalized settings, nursing home and senior living operators are reassessing which care models will sustain both mission and market viability intact. AgingIN invites elder care leaders to the ReImagining Care Models conference for dynamic discussions on person-directed living, workforce culture, and operational design.

Join senior care leaders in New Orleans, January 21-22, 2026, for AgingIN's ReImagining Care Models
Image caption: Join senior care leaders in New Orleans, January 21-22, 2026, for AgingIN’s ReImagining Care Models, an executive symposium focused on financially responsible decisions that shape what comes next.

“It is a timely moment for providers planning a repositioning or evaluating their next move in 2026,” said Susan Ryan, AgingIN CEO. “Whether you are exploring the future of skilled nursing, redesigning assisted living, or exploring a small house approach, we invite you to join AgingIN in New Orleans this January to gain the clarity and expertise to make confident, responsible decisions.”

DESIGNED FOR OPERATORS READY TO REPOSITION

Many skilled nursing providers are actively exploring how to realign their communities with today’s market realities. The symposium offers practical guidance from concept to execution, whether that means shifting the skilled nursing model, redesigning assisted living for higher acuity, or evaluating a small-house approach such as THE GREEN HOUSE® Project.

Participants will learn directly from nationally recognized experts in finance, design, small-house innovation, culture, and operations.

FEATURED SPEAKERS INCLUDE:

  • John Ponthie, Co-owner, Southern Administrative Services, the largest operator of Green House homes in the U.S.
  • Erin Kolb, CEO, Poydras Home, sharing the transformation journey that empowered residents and reimagined team roles
  • Cynthia Thurlow, President & CEO, 3rd3rd, brand marketing and culture strategist for senior living growth and repositioning
  • Michael Starke, President & CEO, PMD Advisory Services, a trusted expert in market feasibility, service planning, and strategic direction
  • Katelyn McCauley, Vice President, Head of Senior Living Research, Ziegler

A TIMELY RESET FOR THE YEAR AHEAD

Early 2026 presents a critical opportunity for leadership teams to reassess, pressure test assumptions, and refresh strategic thinking. The ReImagining Care Models conference provides a focused environment for peers and experts, grounded in data, case studies, and actionable financial modeling.

The program centers on the pivotal decisions leaders are facing, including:

  • Sustaining or redesigning skilled nursing in a tightening financial climate
  • Repositioning assisted living to meet a changing customer profile
  • Understanding the full cost to develop and run a small-house model, and when it makes sense
  • Evaluate the long-term implications of exiting skilled nursing

Attendees will also learn from Poydras Home’s household model transformation, a living example of person-directed care paired with operational redesign.

“Leaders will leave with frameworks and tools they can apply immediately, including financial and strategic lenses for comparing pathways, real-world examples of successful pivots, and proven approaches to workforce culture and design feasibility,” said Ryan.

Save LBI Outlines New Direction for New Jersey’s Energy Plan, Provides Recommendations for Supplying Affordable, Reliable Electricity While Addressing Climate Change

"For too long, NJ energy planning has been based on slogans and unsupported claims of lower energy cost, job gains, and climate change benefit."

LONG BEACH ISLAND, N.J., Dec. 16, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Save Long Beach Island, Inc. (Save LBI), a grassroots organization dedicated to sound energy policies and preserving our shore and ocean environment, today released a science-backed research paper to support Governor-elect Mikie Sherrill’s stated goals of “making energy more affordable and reliable” and “driving New Jersey forward with economic development and innovation.”

Save LBI Outlines New Direction for New Jersey's Energy Plan
Image caption: Save LBI Outlines New Direction for New Jersey’s Energy Plan.

Entitled “Shortcomings of the Current New Jersey Energy Master Plan and a New Direction for it,” the 50-page document responds to Governor-elect Sherrill’s call for feedback and recommendations with a constructive, evidence-based critique of the current plan and a series of realistic measures the incoming administration can implement to ensure a reliable, affordable, and long-lasting supply of electricity while pursuing a practical and effective greenhouse-gas (GHG) strategy that does not place undue financial strain on NJ households. The white paper was delivered to Governor-elect Sherrill, members of her transition team, and the New Jersey State Legislature in early December and is available at https://www.savelbi.org/communications.)

“For too long, the State’s energy and climate planning has been based on slogans and unsupported claims of lower energy cost, job gains, and climate change benefit,” said Save LBI president Bob Stern, a Ph.D. scientist with deep expertise in energy and environmental policy. “It’s time for a change — time for New Jersey to move to a cost-effective strategy rooted in reality.”

The latest edition of the State’s Energy Master plan is unfortunately built around the conflicting goals of reducing the cost of electricity and addressing climate change, according to Stern. “Our white paper presents numerical evidence showing that neither of these goals can be met under the current Plan and refutes unsupported claims of energy cost savings, job gains, and real climate change benefit. Most important, we offer ideas for providing reliable and affordable electricity for New Jersey and developing realistic GHG avoidance measures — including a framework for identifying innovative measures that could be deployed widely around the globe — while creating long-term economic opportunity for New Jersey.”

Here’s a summary of the paper’s key conclusions:

  • However well-intentioned, NJ GHG avoidance measures by themselves will have no discernible effect on global climate change. Based on current GHG-emission-trend modeling, even an aggressive New Jersey program would reduce a predicted 26-inch global rise in sea level by only one-hundredth of an inch by the end of the century (see pages 7-9 of the white paper for an eye-opening scientific analysis);
  • New Jersey can have an impact on global climate change and create long-term economic opportunity in the State by redirecting current efforts toward identifying, promoting, and exporting innovative measures that can be adopted widely around the world. A modest statewide GHG reduction program is useful to show that NJ “has skin” in the global
  • The State should accept the reality that some elevation in sea level and other climate impacts are inevitable, but that we have time to deal with them and should start redirecting resources to coastal areas and implementing other resource-protection and -resiliency measures.
  • A reliable, affordable, and long-lasting supply of energy can be achieved in NJ with only a small carbon-emission footprint through the combination of utility-scale solar and nuclear power and low-cost, high-efficiency natural gas.
  • Offshore wind (OSW) projects do not make sense economically or environmentally for NJ, putting them directly at odds with the Governor-elect’s goal of reducing energy OSW projects…
    1. Are by far the costliest means of supplying electricity and guarantee a significant increase in statewide electric bills (pages 4-5 of the white paper provide an apples-to-apples “levelized-cost” comparison of various power generation sources showing the supply cost of offshore wind projects at four times that of combined cycle natural gas and more than twice that of utility-scale solar and nuclear plants);
    2. Are the most expensive and ineffective way of avoiding GHG emissions. Even on a global scale, offshore wind is no panacea. Despite all the attention paid to OSW, it accounts for less than one percent of the world’s electric supply and displaces, at most, one-fourth of a percent of global GHG emissions. For real solutions to the climate problem, a focus on other measures is necessary.
    3. Provide only a limited number of temporary construction jobs for New Jersey workers;
    4. Require back-up systems that are often fossil fuel driven;
    5. Introduce a host of other major tangible problems, including…
      • Significant losses in the State’s bustling tourism sector;
      • Impaired functionality of onshore radar systems used to defend our national airspace;
      • Substantial harm to marine mammals, including the critically endangered North Atlantic right whale;
      • Generation-long blight of the natural seascape and shore because current regulations do not require (or provide funding for) the removal of turbines at the end of their useful life.

“We appreciate Governor-elect Sherrill’s open-minded and collaborative approach to addressing New Jersey’s energy affordability crisis and other important issues,” Stern said. “It is our hope that the evidence presented in this white paper will stimulate reasoned discussions that lead to the adoption of a sound and sensible energy policy — one that that keeps the cost of electricity in check while encouraging innovative approaches to achieving meaningful progress on climate change.”

LenderLogix expands LiteSpeed POS with native eSignature for borrowers and loan teams

LiteSpeed eSign delivers an Encompass-optimized, zero-detour eSignature workflow with in-portal signing and automatic eFolder storage, including audit trails

BUFFALO, N.Y., Dec. 16, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — LenderLogix, a leading provider of mortgage point-of-sale and automation software for banks, credit unions, independent mortgage banks, and brokers, today announced LiteSpeed eSign, a fully native eSignature experience built into the LiteSpeed point of sale (POS) platform. Serving both sides of the mortgage process, LiteSpeed eSign enables lenders to tag and request documents for electronic signatures directly in Encompass without the need to switch platforms.

LenderLogix
Image caption: LenderLogix.

LiteSpeed eSign enables borrowers to sign documents directly within their LiteSpeed dashboard with a mobile-ready tap-to-sign workflow that helps improve completion rates and reduce manual follow-up tasks. To ensure security, borrowers authenticate using mobile or email two-factor authentication when opening signature requests from their LiteSpeed dashboard. Signed disclosures are automatically added to the loan’s Encompass eFolder with a full audit trail.

Processors can tag documents directly in the Encompass® eFolder for signature without downloading files, creating third-party signing “envelopes” or switching platforms. LiteSpeed’s eSign tool also streamlines outbound signature requests for third-parties like gift donors, Realtors and other non-borrowers. Loan teams select the documents in Encompass, tag the signature, initial, and date fields, and send the request. LiteSpeed automatically adds the document to the borrower portal and generates borrower signing tasks. Completed documents are then returned to the eFolder, complete with timestamps, IP addresses and a tamper-evident hash.

“Borrowers shouldn’t have to leave the application, nor lenders leave the LOS, just to sign documents,” said Patrick O’Brien, CEO and co-founder of LenderLogix. “LiteSpeed eSign delivers eSignatures within the mortgage workflow to avoid disruptions. It’s a zero-detour experience that reduces friction for borrowers, simplifies the work for loan teams and keeps the signature process connected to the Encompass eFolder from start to finish.”

LiteSpeed eSign is included for LiteSpeed users. Book a demo or watch the feature walkthrough here: https://info.lenderlogix.com/litespeed-esign.

TMC launches new individual subscription membership option

SAN DIEGO, Calif., Dec. 16, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — The Mortgage Collaborative (TMC), the nation’s leading independent cooperative network for mortgage lenders, today announced the launch of an individual subscription membership option that expands access to its network for mortgage professionals seeking connection, insight and peer engagement outside a traditional lender membership.

TMC - The Mortgage Collaborative
Image caption: The Mortgage Collaborative (TMC).

For the first time, TMC will offer individual subscriptions, enabling mortgage professionals to participate in most of the network’s benefits, even if their companies have not joined. The recently introduced option is designed for professionals who want to remain engaged with the industry, including those between roles or reentering the field, with a focus on network access, working groups and events, so individuals do not have to navigate industry challenges alone.

“We introduced the individual subscription to give mortgage professionals a way to stay connected no matter what stage of their career they’re in,” said Jodi Hall, CEO and president of The Mortgage Collaborative. “There is a real loneliness that comes with leadership and career transitions. TMC exists to ensure people have trusted peers to learn from, prepare alongside and lean on, because none of us should be doing this work in isolation.”

The individual subscription is a one-year offering that allows participants to invest in themselves while engaging with TMC’s collaborative community. Subscribers receive access to most TMC programming, including working groups, educational content and network engagement, as well as registration for one in-person conference per year. Individual subscribers do not participate in collaboration labs.

TMC developed the offering in response to feedback from professionals who have relied on the cooperative’s insights and relationships throughout their careers but are not currently affiliated with a member lender.

Donielle Geiser, a longtime TMC participant and former lender executive, joined as the program’s inaugural individual subscriber. She discussed her experience during the TMC Unbox it LIVE! Introducing TMC’s New Individual Subscription webinar on Monday, December 15th.

“The longing to know what’s going on in the industry doesn’t go away just because you’re no longer putting out fires every day,” Geiser said. “TMC has always been a connection point for understanding what’s happening and how others are handling the same challenges.”

Geiser said the value of TMC lies in the informal moments of connection that often shape meaningful decisions.

“The quiet conversations between sessions or at the bar are where you walk away with a valuable nugget of insight,” Geiser said. “Every minute is value-packed, and this individual subscription allows me to attend the Scottsdale conference in February 2026 after a year away.”

Professionals interested in learning more can contact TheMortgageCollaborative@mtgcoop.com.

About The Mortgage Collaborative

The Mortgage Collaborative (TMC) is a membership-driven organization that empowers mortgage lenders across the United States through networking, education, and advocacy. TMC fosters an environment of collaboration and innovation, ensuring its members succeed regardless of market conditions. For more information, visit www.mortgagecollaborative.com.

This season, ClearGivers invites donors to experience the joy of shopping for good by helping charities, supporting local businesses, and feeling the true spirit of giving

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., Dec. 16, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — This holiday season, ClearGivers offers a new kind of giving experience, one that blends the joy of shopping with the purpose of philanthropy. Founded by Aisha Kumari, the innovative platform connects donors, local businesses, and charities in a seamless online marketplace designed to make generosity feel personal and immediate.

“ClearGivers turns the act of giving into something you can truly feel,” said Aisha Kumari, “because you’re not just donating – you’re choosing exactly what a charity needs and buying it right on the ClearGivers platform from a local business. It’s meaningful, simple, and joyful.”

Through ClearGivers, charities post wishlists of goods and services, local vendors list their products, and donors browse and purchase directly for the causes they care about. Every dollar donated goes entirely to the charity and the local business providing the item.

Unlike traditional donation platforms, 100% of each contribution through ClearGivers reaches the charity, thanks to its partnership with GoodBee, a software company that covers the platform’s operational costs.

The result is a double gift: one that uplifts local economies while fulfilling tangible needs. “Each dollar has twice the impact,” said Kumari, “You’re supporting your community and a cause at the same time.”

The ClearGivers’ platform design makes the experience familiar yet transformative. Donors enjoy an interface that feels like online shopping, but instead of buyer’s remorse, they experience gratitude and connection. “We wanted to make generosity accessible and enjoyable,” Kumari said, “It’s retail therapy with purpose.”

For charities, it’s an efficient and empowering model: they receive precisely what they request, when they need it. For small businesses, it opens a new sales channel and deepens community relationships. And, for donors, it brings the warmth of holiday giving back to the forefront of a digital world.

“This time of year, people want to give in ways that feel real and make a connection,” Kumari said, “With ClearGivers, they can see exactly where their gift goes and how it helps. It’s what the holidays are meant to be about.”

ABOUT CLEARGIVERS

ClearGivers is a nonprofit charity aggregator and marketplace designed to connect charities, local businesses, and donors in a single transparent giving platform. Founded by CEO Aisha Kumari, ClearGivers enables donors to purchase goods and services directly for registered charities while supporting small businesses in their communities. Through its partnership with Good Bee, 100% of all donations reach the charities they are intended to support.

The Light Committee Earns Yelp and Three Best Rated Awards in 2025

People Love Us on Yelp Award and Three Best Rated Commercial Photographer Award Add to Award Streak for the Studio

LOS ANGELES, Calif., Dec. 15, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — The Light Committee, a photography studio that provides some of the best headshots in Los Angeles has earned the “People Love Us On Yelp” badge and an award from Three Best Rated for Commercial Photographer. Both awards were earned in 2025 and add to many other awards earned by the studio.

The Light Committee
Image caption: The Light Committee.

The Yelp award is presented as a window cling mailed to businesses that have earned it, commonly for receiving a high volume of positive reviews. Three Best Rated informs businesses by email that they have earned the award. The Light Committee has earned the Yelp award consecutive years since 2023 and the Three Best Rated award consecutively since 2022.

In addition, currently, the studio has more five-star Google reviews than any other commercial headshot studio in Los Angeles, exceeding 500 such star-ratings. The studio had also earned the Expertise.com award for best portrait photographers in Los Angeles, 2019-2024, before the award ended for portrait photographers in 2025.

PROVIDING ACTOR HEADSHOTS IN LOS ANGELES

The Light Committee provides headshot photography for actors, whether they need a refreshed shot to submit for a casting or a full portfolio update. As such, currently sessions range from one look for $150 to a premium session covering five looks for $250.

The studio offers online booking for actor headshots on the website. On the website, aspiring actors can preview plenty of example headshots, such as commercial looks and theatrical looks for men and women. They can find out details on what’s included in a session and how a session works. This way, clients are not forced to chase down the photographer to get answers.

DELIVERING CORPORATE HEADSHOTS IN LOS ANGELES

For corporate headshots, also known as professional headshots or business headshots, the studio offers the same series of sessions. They include one look, two looks, or five looks. The two-look session offers an add-on to make it three looks. Rates range from $150 to $250, making The Light Committee one of the most affordable headshot studios in Los Angeles.

As with other headshot sessions, clients can review example headshots to know that, while prices are highly competitive, image quality rivals any other headshot studio in LA or beyond. As a result, clients realize great value.

Mobile headshot services are also offered. This is where the photographer brings a mobile studio to an office location to provide headshots. This way, the business team can stay productive working and jump into a quick headshot session right at the office, before conveniently returning to work.

CREATE YOUR MODEL DIGITALS WITH A PHOTOGRAPHER IN LOS ANGELES

The third most popular photography session is for aspiring models to get model digitals to use to submit to modeling agencies throughout Los Angeles. In this session, the general shots include headshots, profile headshots, full body shots, profile full body shots, and some posed full body and half body shots. Up to two looks are offered so models can, for example, have one look in form-fitting clothes as most agencies prefer, and a second set of shots in a swimsuit for women or shirtless for men.

Other sessions offered include medical residency headshots, child actor headshots, and lifestyle photography sessions such as for dating profile photos, senior portraits, or other one-on-one photography sessions.

ABOUT THE LIGHT COMMITTEE

The Light Committee is an award-winning headshot photography studio located at 335 N Brand Blvd, Ste 250, Glendale, CA, 91203, within the greater Los Angeles area and just around 10 miles north of downtown LA.

Hillcrest Shares Practical Tips to Help Seniors Stay Engaged and Connected During the Holiday Season

LA VERNE, Calif., Dec. 11, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — The holiday season brings warmth and celebration for many, but it can also heighten feelings of loneliness, grief, and disconnection among older adults. Hillcrest, one of Southern California’s leading continuing care retirement communities (CCRCs), is encouraging seniors and their families to approach the season with intention, compassion, and community-minded connection.

INFOGRAPHIC: Hillcrest shares six simple holiday connection tips designed to help older adults stay engaged, supported, and emotionally connected throughout the season.
Image caption: INFOGRAPHIC – Hillcrest shares six simple holiday connection tips designed to help older adults stay engaged, supported, and emotionally connected throughout the season.

“Loneliness during the holidays is real and common. Some seniors are navigating the loss of a spouse, changes in mobility, or adult children who live far away,” explains Ryan Harrison, PsyD, Certified Wellness Professional and Hillcrest’s Director of Resident Life and Wellness. “At Hillcrest, we encourage our residents to stay engaged and support their emotional and physical health.”

As part of Hillcrest’s whole-person wellness philosophy, Harrison offers a series of simple, accessible tips to help older adults nurture connection and find joy in the season.

TIPS FOR SENIORS TO STAY ENGAGED:

  1. Be in community. Seek places and people that feel like home. Join a holiday meal, attend a sing-along, or simply sit with neighbors to enjoy decorations. A shared moment can be as powerful as a big gathering.
  2. Stay active in ways that feel good. Winter can bring lower energy and less movement. Gentle routines like indoor walking, balance classes, chair yoga, or time in a warm pool, help support mood, strength, and confidence. Hydration still matters in colder months, even when thirst is less obvious. Regular sleep and nutrient-dense meals also protect energy and emotional steadiness.
  3. Lead with gratitude and a positive mindset. Pause to notice small joys: a warm drink, a kind note, a favorite song. Instead of dwelling on what feels different or missing, embrace reminders that your presence still matters and you remain part of the world around you.
  4. Choose intention over expectation. Many older adults feel pressure to recreate holidays exactly as they were decades ago. That can invite disappointment. Instead, pick one or two traditions that feel meaningful, and let the rest be flexible. Peace often comes from simplicity.
  5. Explore someone else’s tradition. Ask a neighbor or friend what makes the season special for them. Sharing another person’s ritual can create new bonds and new memories without the burden of perfection.
  6. Use technology as a bridge. Harrison encourages tech-savvy relatives to use technology to communicate with seniors. Take the time to show them photos on your phone or invite them to join a video call and enjoy the connections together.

HILLCREST’S COMMITMENT TO HOLISTIC SEASONAL WELLNESS

At Hillcrest, Harrison encourages residents to focus on wellness by caring for body, mind, spirit, environment, emotions, relationships, and pursuits. During the winter months, residents are supported by wellness and life enrichment teams through movement classes, brain-healthy, nutritious dining options, and frequent group gatherings.

“We know the older people in our lives value moments of joy, and with small, intentional steps, we can help them feel supported and surrounded by community through every season of life,” said Harrison.

With diameters as small as 1.1mm, the VJ-3 and VJ-4 facilitate the visual recording and photo documentation of an inspection and components in areas that are otherwise inaccessible or require great effort and expense to access directly. The VJ-3 and VJ-4 video borescopes consist of two modules integrated into one system: an insertion tube with distally mounted camera/LEDs and the base unit with control panel, LCD monitor, power source, and all necessary circuitry.

Optimal Blue report: Lock volume posts strongest November since 2021

Resilient refinance demand driven by current rates tempers the effects of seasonal slowdown

PLANO, Texas, Dec. 10, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Optimal Blue today released its November 2025 Market Advantage mortgage data report, which found that total mortgage rate-lock activity declined with normal late fall seasonality, yet still marked the strongest November in four years. Total lock volume fell 25% month over month (MoM) from October but remained up 17% year over year (YoY), buoyed by historically strong refinance demand and mortgage rates holding near 6%. Rate-and-term refinances continued to outperform 2024 levels by a wide margin, finishing November up 223% YoY despite easing from September’s high. Cash-out refinances rose 29% YoY. Purchase lock activity declined 22% MoM in line with seasonal patterns and slipped 6% YoY as elevated home costs and limited inventory continued to restrain demand.

The Optimal Blue Mortgage Market Indices (OBMMI) 30-year conforming fixed rate, the benchmark for CME Group’s Mortgage Rate futures, dipped 1 basis point to 6.14% in November, marking a 53-bps improvement from the same period in 2024. FHA rates fell 5 bps to 5.99%, while VA and jumbo rates rose modestly to 5.76% (up 9 bps) and 6.44% (up 8 bps), respectively. The 10-year Treasury yield fell 11 bps to 4%, widening the mortgage rate spread by roughly 10 bps as OBMMI remained essentially flat.

“November’s data underscores a market still responding to rate relief even as seasonal patterns take hold,” said Mike Vough, senior vice president of corporate strategy at Optimal Blue. “Refinances remain the clear standout, with rate-and-term activity running more than triple last year’s levels and cash-outs continuing to outperform. It was a notably strong November by any measure.”

Lenders adjusted execution strategies in November as agency cash window sales rose 300 bps to 25%, interrupting the recent move toward greater securitization. Agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS) deliveries declined 100 bps to 45% after six consecutive months of gains, while bulk aggregator share dropped 300 bps to 27% and best-efforts executions increased 100 bps to 3%. The share of loans sold at the highest price tier fell 200 bps to 79%, while second- and fourth-tier deliveries increased. Mortgage servicing rights (MSRs) for conforming 30-year loans decreased 3 bps to 1.09% (a 4.36 multiple), in line with an average 15 bps decline across other OBMMI rate series.

“Execution strategies shifted meaningfully in November,” said Vough. “Lenders moved to the cash window as securitization momentum moderated, and pricing spreads broadened as more loans moved out of the top tier. These shifts point to lenders fine-tuning execution to manage price and overall delivery profile as the market settles into late-year conditions.”

Key findings from the Market Advantage report, derived from direct-source mortgage lock and secondary market data, include:

Volume trends and market composition

  • Refis remain a major driver: Refinances accounted for 35% of all locks. Rate-and-term refinances rose 223% YoY despite slowing from early fall peaks, while cash-out refinances increased 29% YoY.
  • Purchases decline: Purchase locks fell 22% MoM and 6% YoY as elevated home costs and limited listings continued to weigh on demand.
  • Non-QM sets new record: Non-qualified mortgage share rose to 9%, the highest level recorded by Optimal Blue, with investor/debt-service-coverage-ratio (DSCR) programs accounting for a growing share of non-QM production.
  • FHA, non-conforming pick up share: Product mix shifted toward FHA and non-conforming loans (including jumbo) at the expense of conforming and VA lending, supported in part by 5.99% FHA rates.
  • PUD share ticks up slightly: Planned unit development (PUD) lock share, a reasonable proxy for new construction, rose relative to other property types but remained well below last year’s unusually high levels.

Rates and pricing

  • Rates stabilize near 6%: The OBMMI 30-year conforming fixed rate ticked down 1 bp to 6.14%. FHA fell to 5.99%, while VA and jumbo rates rose to 5.76% and 6.44%, respectively.
  • MSR values dip: MSRs for conforming 30-year loans fell 3 bps to 1.09% (a 4.36 multiple), moving in line with rate declines.
  • Spread widens to 10-year Treasury: The 10-year Treasury yield fell 11 bps to 4%, widening the mortgage rate spread by roughly 10 bps as OBMMI remained mostly unchanged.
  • Pricing tiers show more dispersion: The share of loans sold at the highest price tier dropped 200 bps to 79%, while second- and fourth-tier shares rose.

Channel and execution

  • Cash window share increases: Cash window deliveries increased to 25% (up 300 bps) as lenders shifted execution away from aggregator and securitization outlets in November.
  • MBS share pulls back: Agency MBS sales fell to 45% (down 100 bps) after six consecutive months of increases.
  • Aggregator share declines: Bulk aggregator executions dropped to 27% (down 300 bps), while best-efforts executions rose to 3% (up 100 bps).

Product mix and borrower profiles

  • Lower-rate programs gain traction: Lenders saw greater uptake in products benefiting from improved pricing, including increased FHA share at 18.8% (up 104 bps) and steady demand for jumbo and other non-conforming offerings at 17% (up 34 bps).
  • S. buyer share rises: U.S. citizens accounted for nearly 94% of locks, extending a multi-month upward trend.
  • Credit scores and loan sizes edge lower: The average credit score fell one point to 733. The average loan amount decreased to $391,323 from October’s $397,438. November loan averages ranged from $592,129 in metro New York to $295,526 in Indianapolis. Average loan-to-value ratios ranged from 69.79% in Los Angeles to 88.22% in San Antonio.
