DocMagic enhances Total eClose platform with new IPEN capability for broader digital closing flexibility

In-person electronic notarization option strengthens DocMagic's eNotary offering and supports diverse borrower and settlement agent preferences

TORRANCE, Calif., Nov. 20, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — DocMagic, Inc. announced today the availability of its in-person electronic notarization (IPEN) capability, extending the company’s Total eClose™ platform to support more closing scenarios and borrower preferences across the country. IPEN offers lenders, settlement agents, notaries and borrowers an additional digital option for situations where remote online notarization (RON) is not jurisdictionally permitted or simply not the preferred experience.

DocMagic, Inc.
Image caption: DocMagic, Inc.

While RON remains a powerful tool for digital closings, it is not authorized for real estate transactions in every state. Today, IPEN is permitted in 46 states and the District of Columbia, making it a widely accessible alternative that preserves the benefits of electronic execution even in jurisdictions that do not permit remote notarization. For lenders, this expanded coverage translates into greater operational flexibility and a more consistent eClosing workflow regardless of geography.

“Not every transaction can be remote, but every transaction can be digital,” said Michael Morford, chief technology officer at DocMagic. “By adding IPEN, we’re enabling lenders, settlement agents and notaries to provide the kind of in-person experience many consumers still prefer while maintaining all the efficiency, accuracy and immediacy of an electronic closing.”

A key advantage of IPEN is its flexibility. Where permitted by state law, settlement agents and notaries can switch between RON and IPEN within the same transaction, supporting co-borrowers in different locations or accommodating last-minute changes in borrower availability. The immediate availability of electronically executed documents also shortens post-closing timelines, accelerates funding and reduces costs associated with paper handling.

The addition of IPEN also supports a wide range of borrower preferences. Some clients want hands-on guidance, and others value the relationship and ceremony of an in-person signing. IPEN preserves that face-to-face experience while delivering the efficiency and accuracy of a 100% digital closing, giving lenders a way to meet every borrower where they are without sacrificing speed, accuracy or auditability.

“IPEN rounds out the Total eClose platform so every closing—hybrid, remote or in-person—can be managed through one trusted digital ecosystem,” said Pat Theodora, DocMagic co-founder and CEO. “This enhancement reflects our commitment to supporting all participants in the closing process and helping our clients deliver a consistent digital experience, regardless of the borrower’s location or preference.”

DocMagic’s proprietary IPEN technology works on any connected device with no special hardware or training required. Built on the same trusted foundation as DocMagic’s RON capability, IPEN uses the familiar DocMagic signing interface and is available to all notaries within the company’s nationwide notary network. All RON-capable notaries in the system can also perform IPEN. Optional identity verification tools such as knowledge-based authentication (KBA) and ID Verify remain available but are not required for in-person sessions, creating a faster, more efficient process for both notaries and borrowers.

Founded in 1987, DocMagic, Inc. is a leading provider of compliant document generation, automated compliance, eSignature and comprehensive eMortgage solutions for the mortgage industry.

HealthSync AI Unveils Industry’s First Unified Digital Healthcare Platform (UDHP) to Transform Hospital, Medical Group, and Rural Health System Operations

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., Nov. 19, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — HealthSync AI, a leader in healthcare automation and AI-native clinical intelligence, today announced the launch of the Unified Digital Healthcare Platform (UDHP), the first end-to-end, AI-orchestrated infrastructure designed to unify fragmented systems across hospitals, medical groups, and rural healthcare providers.

HealthSync AI
Image caption: HealthSync AI.

The HealthSync UDHP sits above existing EHRs and operational systems, connecting data, workflows, revenue cycle processes, and clinical intelligence into a single, secure, real-time ecosystem. The platform enables healthcare organizations to unlock unified operations without replacing their EHRs or core systems.

“Healthcare doesn’t need another standalone tool, it needs a new foundation,” said Chris Fisher, CEO of HealthSync AI. “Our UDHP architecture solves the systemic issues that EHRs were never built to address. This is the operational backbone that hospitals, clinics, and rural providers have been asking for.”

A NEW ARCHITECTURE FOR A FRAGMENTED INDUSTRY

Most hospitals and clinics rely on hundreds of disconnected applications, leading to data silos, errors, manual work, and multi-day delays in patient and billing workflows. According to a 2024 JAMA Network Open study, only 8–19% of U.S. family physicians report “ideal” interoperability across their systems, with rural providers experiencing significantly worse fragmentation.

HealthSync AI’s UDHP solves this by introducing a unified operational graph that connects data from EHRs, RCM systems, payer portals, telephony, lab systems, and specialty platforms. The platform automates cross-department workflows using a secure, healthcare-specific AI reasoning engine.

CORE COMPONENTS OF THE UDHP

  • Atrium™ – A HIPAA-native clinical reasoning SLM that powers documentation, coding, decision support, and multimodal understanding.
  • Voxr9™ – Ambient voice AI that captures clinician–patient conversations in the exam room and generates complete EHR documentation with optional real-time translation.
  • OmniSync™ – AI voice and chat agents that manage scheduling, intake, triage, and patient communication 24/7.
  • Pulse3™ – Real-time RCM engine that validates coding, checks eligibility, and drives clean-claim rates up to 98%.
  • OrchestrAI™ – Workflow automation engine that coordinates clinical and operational actions across systems.
  • Sentinel™ / EquiScan™ – Continuous governance, audit protection, and equity oversight.

DESIGNED FOR HOSPITALS, MEDICAL GROUPS, AND RURAL HEALTHCARE

The UDHP enables organizations of all sizes to achieve:

  • 30–50% administrative burden reduction
  • 1–2 hours/day returned to clinicians
  • 85%+ workflow automation
  • Faster revenue cycles and near-zero denials
  • Improved patient communication and safety
  • On-premise or private-cloud deployment for PHI control

“Rural and independent clinics have been left behind by traditional interoperability efforts,” said Fisher. “The UDHP levels the playing field by giving them access to the same unified infrastructure as major health systems, without the cost or complexity.”

ABOUT HEALTHSYNC AI

HealthSync AI is a healthcare infrastructure company specializing in AI-driven workflow orchestration, clinical reasoning models, ambient intelligence, and unified data automation. The company’s UDHP powers the next generation of healthcare operations for hospitals, medical groups, and rural health systems.

LALA Crema Mexicana Brings Flavor Fiesta to Southern California Nov. 5 – Dec. 7

DALLAS, Texas, and LOS ANGELES, Calif., Nov. 19, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Smart cooks appreciate products that are premium-quality and versatile, and during the busy holiday season, that is even more important. LALA® Crema Mexicana tops that list, and this year, Southern California shoppers are being given a fun opportunity to experience, taste and learn about this rich, creamy and authentic dairy delight.

LALA Crema Mexicana is the perfect addition to your holiday meal
Image caption: LALA Crema Mexicana is the perfect addition to your holiday meal.

LALA Crema Mexicana brings unique benefits to home cooks, including

  • Consistency: Pourable Crema Mexicana is thinner than sour cream, allowing it to be elegantly drizzled over dishes
  • Flavor: It has a milder, less acidic taste, allowing the dish to shine while complementing its flavor.
  • Heat stability: Crema’s higher fat content keeps it from curdling in hot soups and sauces, a problem that often occurs with sour cream.

LALA® Crema Mexicana can be used to bring down the heat of spicy dishes, add richness to soups and salad dressings, and even as the base of strawberries and cream for a more balanced sweetness and a silky texture.

Throughout the holiday season, the LALA® Crema Mexicana Flavor Fiesta will be visiting area grocery stores with a custom food truck serving delicious tamales with crema and other toppings. While shoppers learn about the versatility of a quality crema, they can play fun yard games, including the LALA® Flavor Fiesta “Stack the Crema” Challenge. Participants have 30 seconds to stack as many giant LALA® Mexican Crema containers as they can into a stable tower. If their tower stands tall when the timer ends — they win a prize!

Additionally, those who purchase LALA® Crema Mexicana during the Flavor Fiesta will walk away with a holiday gift package, including a LALA®-branded wooden cooking spoon and potholder all stored in a LALA® tote bag (while supplies last).

Southern California cooks are invited to try delicious new ways to use crema, with recipes including Birria de Res, Chilaquiles, Choriqueso Empanadas and Sopes de Pollo, all using LALA® Crema Mexicana.

The LALA® Flavor Fiesta will be visiting 20 area stores across 16 cities, ranging from Riverside to Los Angeles to San Diego between Nov. 5 and Dec. 7, 2025.

Participating stores include:

  • Victorville: 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Nov. 5 and Nov. 6 at Food 4 Less, 14738 La Paz Drive.

LALA U.S. eagerly anticipates the opportunity to introduce its crema to a new generation of cooks.

“Crema Mexicana is one of the best-kept secrets in Mexican cooking — it’s what gives so many favorite dishes their rich, creamy flavor,” said Flavia Panza, Chief Marketing Officer of LALA U.S. “We want to show home cooks how easy it is to bring that same authentic taste home with LALA® Crema Mexicana.”

Epic Adventure Awaits in Oren Schott’s Debut Fantasy Novel, ‘Verisi Millitude’

A daring quest for gold leads to an unexpected journey of teamwork, courage, and growth

NEW YORK, N.Y., Nov. 19, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — In his debut novel “Verisi Millitude: The Adventure Saga” (ISBN: 978-1834182056; released by Tellwell Publishing; October, 2025), author and artist Oren Schott invites readers into a world of swords, sorcery, and peril. What begins as a simple quest for riches quickly becomes an unforgettable journey of camaraderie, personal transformation, and survival against impossible odds.

Verisi Millitude, by author and artist Oren Schott
Image caption: “Verisi Millitude,” by author and artist Oren Schott.

Set in a world where might makes right, “Verisi Millitude” follows a mismatched quartet of adventurers brought together by circumstance and bound by their shared desire to improve their lot in life. Their mission: a daring campaign to plunder gold from a dragon’s lair. Along the way, they face one trial after another, testing not only their skill and bravery but their ability to trust one another.

Blending classic fantasy adventure with the emotional depth of a character-driven story, Schott’s tale draws readers into a world as dangerous as it is enchanting. Each challenge the adventurers face reveals something greater than treasure, the discovery that true strength comes from unity, not power.

“I wanted to tell a story that felt both nostalgic and fresh,” says Schott. “The heroes aren’t chosen ones — they’re ordinary people who rise to the occasion. That’s what makes their journey meaningful.”

A graduate of Ithaca College and the Joe Kubert School of Cartoon and Graphic Art, Oren Schott brings a cinematic eye for detail and pacing to his story-telling. Before turning to writing, he worked for 18 years with SchottNYC, a family-run business known for its craftsmanship and creative legacy.

“Verisi Millitude: The Adventure Saga” is available now in paperback and eBook through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other major book retailers.

Photo caption: Celestial Baseball Association founder and inspirational sports author Richard LoPresto announces the 10-City “Old Timers Day” Open Casting Call and USA Storm the Barn Baseball Prayer Tour for his book-to-film adaptation.

In “Old Timers Day: As Told by God to Richard LoPresto,” God Almighty and Satan the Devil face off and select their own major league baseball teams comprised of illustrious players, living and deceased. Each agrees that once the game is in progress, neither of them can have anything whatsoever to do with the final score. The beloved pastime game transforms into an extreme sport of ‘Winner Takes All’ as the instant the game is over, the loser, God Almighty or Satan the Devil, will be stricken from the mind of man and from the annals of history forever! The great game takes place at the legendary Ebbets Field, a Major League Baseball stadium in the Flatbush section of Brooklyn, New York City where the 1955 World Series was held.

“Old Timers Day” packs its storyline with amazing baseball trivia and interesting historical facts, dating all the way back from the inception of baseball to the present. With the opposing teams comprised of over 100 of the greatest baseball players of all time, joined by celebrated managers, umpires, coaches and announcers, the reader is immersed in a baseball history lesson.

The book has been converted to a screenplay written by James Verderosa, with plans for filming in 2026. The 10-city casting call and prayer tour will be filmed at each location for a behind-the-scenes documentary, with an accompanying podcast to conduct interviews with athletes and baseball enthusiasts. Planned tour stops include the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, NY and the Negro League Museum in Kansas City, MO.

“My book, ‘Old Timers Day’ has been a labor of love for many years now. It’s a story and message that God gave to me directly,” explains author and Celestial Baseball Association founder Richard LoPresto. “I’m thrilled that the book will finally be made into the film that it deserves. My intention for the casting call and prayer tour is to help unify America. Baseball has always been one of this country’s favorite pastimes and I want to utilize this great game to help dispel the dissention that is plaguing our nation. We are touring the country with a message of love and unity as we work to cast what we hope will be one of the greatest films ever made!”

Richard LoPresto is a renowned baseball trivia expert recognized by sports enthusiasts around the world. His show business career includes writing and producing the musical variety television special “Where Will You Be In 2000 A.D.?” hosted by the late Mr. America, Lou Ferrigno, the original “Hulk,” along with Marianne Marks. It was the last television show produced on the stage of the famous Stardust Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada. He currently resides in Las Vegas and travels extensively nationally and abroad promoting the “Old Timers Day” project. It is LoPresto’s vision that the film adaptation of the book will attract sports fans and “believers” alike with a story about morality, conviction and the fate of humankind.

Caring for the Caregiver: Tips for Families During National Family Caregiving Month

PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Nov. 18, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — During National Family Caregiving Month, Simpson is recognizing and supporting the millions of Americans who provide care for loved ones by sharing resources and guidance through its Confident Caregiving for Family and Friends webinar. Simpson, a nonprofit senior living organization serving older adults for more than 150 years, offers families guidance, resources, and reassurance that they are not alone. Whether helping a spouse with memory loss, coordinating appointments for a parent, or offering companionship to an aging neighbor, it is both deeply meaningful and emotionally demanding.

Simpson Life Plan Communities
Simpson Life Plan Communities.

Caregiving is a year-round responsibility, and as Dr. Carol McKinley, Simpson President and CEO, notes, “It can be one of the most challenging roles a person takes on, but also one of the most meaningful.”

In the U.S., 48 million adults serve as family caregivers, according to AARP, a role that can significantly impact their mental and physical health. As the population ages, the demand for caregivers, often spouses or family members, will continue to grow. The burden often includes medical tasks, such as administering injections or managing medications, that many are untrained to perform.

“Many caregivers don’t ask for help, or, in many cases, may feel the need to handle the weight of it on their own,” according to Dr. McKinley. A recent AARP study found that 50% of caregivers reported heightened emotional stress, with women experiencing more anxiety than men.

Caring for the caregiver is critical. “When caregivers are supported, both they and their loved ones thrive,” said Dr. McKinley.

KEY REMINDERS FOR CAREGIVERS AND FAMILIES

Care for Yourself While Caring for Others

Many caregivers neglect their own needs, leading to burnout. Taking time for rest, connection, and self-care isn’t selfish; it’s essential. A simple walk, an exercise class, or coffee with a friend can help replenish emotional reserves.

Start Hard Conversations Early

Families often wait until a crisis to discuss living arrangements, finances, or health preferences. Early, honest conversations can prevent confusion and conflict later. Approaching these talks with empathy and patience helps loved ones feel respected and heard. Even the way you speak matters; language, tone, and setting can make these conversations more fruitful.

Accept Help When It’s Offered

Caregiving can feel isolating, but asking for or accepting help builds a stronger support network. Dr. McKinley stresses the importance of caregivers accepting small gestures, such as sharing meals or handling errands, to help lighten the daily load.

Recognize the Emotional Side of Caregiving

Caregiving can bring moments of love, frustration, grief, and gratitude – all at once. Acknowledging those feelings, rather than suppressing them, helps caregivers stay resilient. Journaling, counseling, or connecting with others in similar roles can provide a valuable perspective.

Explore Resources and Person-Directed Care Options

If care needs increase, explore services that align with your loved one’s preferences and values. Simpson’s communities emphasize person-directed care, meaning each resident’s choices, routines, and individuality are honored. The right environment can bring peace of mind to both caregivers and those they love.

Shift the Narrative: From Directives to Dialogue

Experts recommend that families approach difficult caregiving conversations with empathy. Seek out education for both caregiver and patient on the best ways to initiate delicate conversations. Jenner’s Pond, a Simpson community in West Grove, Penn., partners with the University of Delaware’s Healthcare Theatre to present caregiving scenarios and possible responses. Attending a presentation like this can be a good door opener to a deeper conversation.

“Caregiving is deeply rewarding. Many caregivers feel gratitude for the opportunity to support a loved one. But it’s critical to remember: putting your own oxygen mask on first helps you be the best caregiver you can be,” says Dr. McKinley.

This month, Simpson encourages families to reach out for help and to remember that confident caregiving begins with compassion for others and for oneself.

ABOUT SIMPSON

Since 1865, Simpson has met the changing needs and desires of Philadelphia area seniors from diverse backgrounds as a not-for-profit family of services consisting of three Life Plan Communities: Simpson House, Simpson Meadows, and Jenner’s Pond; three affordable senior living communities: Simpson Gardens I, Simpson Gardens II, and Simpson Midtown, as well as Simpson HomeCare and Simpson Rehabilitation. The organization is dedicated to offering the highest level of lifestyle and care available in beautiful, dignified, and spiritual settings.

A new children’s book – ‘Gnu Gnu and Punda’s Great Adventure’ – celebrates friendship, teamwork and the African savanna’s wonders

ASHEVILLE, N.C., Nov. 14, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Picture this: endless golden grass, a scorching dry season and a journey from Tanzania to Kenya in search of life-giving water. In a new children’s book written by Liisa Andreassen and illustrated by Frederic Gingillino, “Gnu Gnu and Punda’s Great Adventure” (ISBN: 979-8218776183), give young readers the opportunity to join two unlikely companions — the sturdy wildebeest Gnu Gnu and the fast, sharp-eyed zebra Punda. They quickly discover that working together makes them stronger than they ever imagined.

Gnu Gnu and Punda’s Great Adventure, written by Liisa Andreassen and illustrated by Frederic Gingillino
Image caption: “Gnu Gnu and Punda’s Great Adventure,” written by Liisa Andreassen and illustrated by Frederic Gingillino.

When the dry season hits the savanna and water becomes scarce, Gnu Gnu, Punda and their friends, set out on a courageous expedition across Tanzania and Kenya. Along the way, they meet giraffes who offer perspective, elephants who share wisdom, and a cast of animal friends who remind them that even the greatest journey is easier when you’re not alone.

At its heart, “Gnu Gnu and Punda’s Great Adventure” is more than an animal journey — it’s a story about collaboration, celebrating differences and the power of friendship. This beautifully illustrated tale is ideal for children ages 4–8 (and any child at heart), instilling values of empathy, resilience and community.

“I hope this story inspires children to see how their unique gifts can connect to others in surprising, wonderful ways,” Andreassen says.

At the end of the book, a helpful glossary enhances the reader’s experience and there are also pages for kids to color their own pages and create a story of their own.

This book is suitable for children, schools, libraries and family reading time. Purchase your copy or schedule a school reading today!

“Gnu Gnu and Punda’s Great Adventure” is available at major online retailers including Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Gnu-Gnu-Pundas-Great-Adventure-Andreassen/dp/B0FTTBPJ8N/

Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GnuGnuandPundasGreatAdventure

About the Author

Liisa Andreassen lives in Asheville, North Carolina and a family trip to Tanzania served as the inspiration behind the book. She has a diverse background which she says keeps life interesting. She currently works as a freelance writer, gives cooking classes and is working on getting a nonprofit off the ground – Echoes of the Forest. This is her first children’s book, but she’s hoping to create a series that includes all of the continents.

Rice Park Acquires Rosegate Mortgage, Enhancing End-to-End Mortgage Capabilities and MSR Investment Platform

CHARLOTTE, N.C. and PLYMOUTH, Minn., Nov. 14, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Rice Park Capital Management LP (“Rice Park”), a Minneapolis-based private investment firm specializing in mortgage servicing rights (MSRs), announced today that it has acquired Rosegate Mortgage, LLC (“Rosegate Mortgage”), NMLS #2020757, a retail and consumer-direct mortgage lender headquartered in Charlotte, NC. This strategic acquisition expands Rice Park’s capabilities across the mortgage value chain, supporting both MSR recapture and retention strategies while reinforcing its commitment to supporting originator partners.

Rice Park Acquires Rosegate Mortgage, Enhancing End-to-End Mortgage Capabilities and MSR Investment Platform
Image caption: Rice Park Acquires Rosegate Mortgage, Enhancing End-to-End Mortgage Capabilities and MSR Investment Platform.

The integration of Rosegate allows Rice Park to selectively perform recapture across its MSR holdings, which Rice Park believes will enhance returns and mitigate prepayment risk, while maintaining its strong alignment with third-party originators who rely on Rice Park for capital solutions, MSR liquidity and customer retention. To manage this dynamic, Rice Park has developed a dual-channel strategy:

  • For MSR acquisitions with embedded recapture partnerships, Rice Park will support and respect those relationships.
  • For MSRs without an embedded recapture agreement, Rice Park will utilize Rosegate to pursue recapture directly.

“Acquiring Rosegate enables us to offer a fully integrated mortgage investment platform that we believe enhances value for our investors through improved servicing retention and strategic recapture,” said Craig Freel, President and co-Chief Investment Officer of Rice Park. “At the same time, we remain fully committed to our originator and servicer partners. Our platform is designed to offer flexibility—providing capital and MSR solutions that preserve and support our partners’ customer relationships.”

Rice Park and Rosegate initially partnered in October 2024 to provide financing solutions for borrowers within Rice Park’s MSR portfolio, which includes approximately $61 billion in unpaid principal balance [*note 1] serviced through its affiliate, Nexus Nova LLC (“Nexus Nova”), NMLS # 2082961. Under the new structure, Rosegate and Nexus Nova are combined into a single operating entity within Rice Park’s organizational structure.

Rosegate will continue to operate under its existing brand, maintaining its headquarters in Charlotte, NC, and expanding its retail and consumer-direct lending operations.

“We’re thrilled to be integrated with Rice Park and are excited to build out what we believe will be a high quality servicing retention and recapture model,” said Bryce Bradley, President & CEO of Rosegate Mortgage. “We are committed to being a leading place for customers to obtain a home loan and a great place for our team-members to work. Now within the Rice Park family, we are able to introduce ourselves to more customers and provide a high quality experience while continuing to enhance our organization and grow both the consumer-direct and retail lending channels.”

About Rice Park Capital Management LP

Rice Park is a private investment firm managing capital of institutional investors, family offices and high net worth individuals. Its investment focus is to deliver cycle-resistant returns by unlocking value in complex opportunities in the residential and commercial mortgage and real estate sectors.

WATERTOWN, Mass. and MANCHESTER, N.H., Nov. 13, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Avatar Design & Construction, a leading commercial design-build firm, today announced the official trademarking of its company name (Avatar®) as a design-build brand and the launch of its new trademarked “Grand” line of multi-family apartment buildings. This strategic move solidifies the company’s identity and introduces a new standard of living to the New England market, beginning with three major projects in Manchester, New Hampshire.

The first development under the new brand, Grand Central Suites, is currently under construction at 21 Central Street in Manchester. The project is progressing steadily and is anticipated to welcome its first residents in early 2026. Following this flagship building, Avatar is set to break ground on two additional properties in Manchester: Grand Maison at 533 Elm Street and Grand Midtown at 102 Elm Street. These projects signal a significant expansion of the “Grand” brand and Avatar’s commitment to revitalizing urban communities throughout New England.

“Securing the trademarks for both Avatar and the ‘Grand’ brand is a pivotal milestone for our company,” said Nazar Vincent, President of Avatar Design & Construction. “It represents the culmination of our team’s dedication to creating exceptional spaces through our integrated design-build model. The ‘Grand’ properties are designed not just as buildings, but as vibrant communities, and we are thrilled to introduce this vision in Manchester and beyond.”

“We are excited to present Grand Central Suites to the community,” says the project’s developer, Nazar Vincent of Avatar Design & Construction. “This is the first of a series of projects that will not only provide top-notch living spaces but also contribute to the growth and development of Manchester’s downtown area. The wait is nearly over for those seeking a luxurious and modern living experience in the heart of downtown Manchester.”

INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES

Avatar Design & Construction invites interested investors to inquire about opportunities related to the “Grand” properties and other ongoing projects across the region. The firm continues to seek strategic partnerships to expand its portfolio of high-quality commercial and residential properties.

In partnership with Bridgewater Development of Watertown, MA, Avatar Design & Construction offers several attractive opportunities for qualified investors interested in high-yield commercial real estate investments. With a minimum investment of $50,000, individuals and groups can participate in the development of premier multi-family and mixed-use projects across the Northeast.

“Our purchasing experts leverage extensive research and global sourcing to secure exceptional products and building materials at significantly reduced costs,” says Nazar Vincent. “This purchasing advantage allows us to design projects with higher profit margins while upholding superior design standards and construction quality. As a result, we are proud to share these profits with a select group of investors who are instrumental in bringing our project portfolio to life.”

Investors have the flexibility to allocate funds to a single property or diversify across multiple developments. To learn more or apply, visit https://bridgewaterdevelopment.com/.

The Mortgage Collaborative Charts 2026 Strategy Focused on Connection, Growth and Industry Resilience

SAN DIEGO, Calif., Nov. 13, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — As lenders continue to navigate a shifting housing market marked by volatility, margin pressure and rapid technological change, The Mortgage Collaborative (TMC) is doubling down on what it believes is the industry’s greatest strength: connection.

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

The nation’s largest independent mortgage cooperative announced a series of 2026 initiatives aimed at expanding membership, strengthening partner relationships and providing data-driven insights that empower lenders to operate more efficiently and competitively.

“In a market where many lenders feel isolated by shrinking margins, rapid change and growing operational demands, The Mortgage Collaborative is showing that strength comes from community,” said Jodi Hall, president and CEO of The Mortgage Collaborative. “Through shared data, open dialogue and a genuine commitment to helping one another succeed, our members are proving that collaboration is more than a core value. It is the foundation for growth, innovation and resilience in this industry.”

Building on momentum from its 2025 “Cheers in Boston” conference, where record engagement underscored the appetite for collaboration, TMC’s 2026 strategic plan is centered on three pillars: expanding the network, deepening engagement and modernizing data access.

Among the key initiatives:

  • Membership Expansion: TMC plans to grow its lender member network by 20%. The cooperative’s peer-driven model, anchored by confidential “Collaboration Labs,” continues to be a differentiator for lenders seeking practical, real-time solutions from their peers.
  • New Leadership Role: To support this expansion, TMC is hiring a Vice President of Business Development, focused on outreach and onboarding for both lenders and preferred partners.
  • Partner Relationship Focus: Toni Bramley will transition to Partner Relationship Manager, ensuring that TMC’s vendor partners receive dedicated support and engagement to maximize member value.
  • Evolving Data Benchmarking: The organization’s flagship data-sharing platform will relaunch as TMC Insights, incorporating expanded market and performance data to give members and non-members a clearer, comparative picture of their operations, a crucial advantage as profitability pressures persist.
  • Individual Memberships: For the first time, TMC will offer individual subscriptions, allowing mortgage professionals to participate in collaborative learning and events even if their companies have not yet joined the network.
  • IMPACT powered by TMC Future Fund: In August 2026, TMC will debut IMPACT, a standalone technology and innovation summit that will convene lenders, capital partners, and emerging tech firms for live demos, competitions, and collaborative exploration of tools shaping the industry’s future.

“These programs are not about selling a service but rather sustaining an industry,” Hall said. “When lenders share knowledge, compare performance, and learn together, everyone gets better. That’s what collaboration looks like in action.”

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  https://www.mortgagecollaborative.com/.

Cloudvirga’s Loan Hub equips loan teams with modern tools for managing pipelines, tasks and borrower communication

Streamlined loan processing and underwriting helps lenders deliver a faster, more satisfying mortgage experience for borrowers

IRVINE, Calif., Nov. 13, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Cloudvirga, a Stewart-owned provider of digital point-of-sale platforms for lenders, today announced the launch of its new Loan Hub for lenders seeking an optimized loan team experience. The Loan Hub gives loan officers, LO assistants and processors a modern, intuitive workspace to manage their pipelines, collaborate with borrowers and complete key tasks without toggling between systems.

Image caption: Cloudvirga.

As the operational counterpart to Cloudvirga’s consumer-facing Tropos experience, the Loan Hub centralizes loan data, applicant interactions and communication tools, empowering lenders to work smarter and offer borrowers a faster, more seamless journey from application to clear-to-close.

“The Loan Hub keeps teams focused on relationships instead of repetitive clicks,” said Jessica Evett, senior vice president of product strategy and technology operations at Cloudvirga. “It brings the modular power of our Tropos consumer portal to the lender side of the experience, giving teams one intuitive workspace that helps them close loans faster and strengthen borrower satisfaction.”

With the Loan Hub, loan teams can:

  • Simplify pipeline management: View loans and leads in a customizable dashboard with sortable columns, saved filters and at-a-glance progress tracking.
  • Accelerate application creation: Initiate new borrower records, start applications and send secure invitations to apply.
  • Keep loans moving: Add, assign and prioritize tasks for borrowers or team members using lender-configured templates from the Tropos admin portal.
  • Collaborate and communicate seamlessly: Work in the same application simultaneously, share notes and documents and stay aligned on borrower progress with real-time updates and automated notifications.
  • Import, export and sync effortlessly: Upload lead lists, export pipeline data, and keep loan data and milestones synced with the loan origination system in real time or at configured intervals.
  • Engage borrowers proactively: Create and manage targeted campaigns and personalized communications from the loan hub to nurture leads, reengage prospects and strengthen relationships across the pipeline.

The Loan Hub complements Cloudvirga’s Tropos portal, which guides consumers through a modern, intuitive and personalized experience from initial application to clear-to-close, and the admin portal introduced earlier this year, which gives lenders real-time control over organizational settings, permissions and workflow configurations. Together, these solutions give lenders end-to-end flexibility to build borrower-first experiences that adapt quickly to changing market and operational needs.

Lenders can learn more about the Loan Hub by visiting https://www.cloudvirga.com or requesting a personalized demo.

Cloudvirga is a leading provider of digital point-of-sale platforms designed to engage borrowers and increase lending efficiency.

PDFGEAR FOR IPAD: WHAT’S NEW AND HOW IT TRANSFORMS?

Beyond a refreshed interface, PDFgear for iPad delivers an optimized experience that puts control, flexibility, and speed at users’ fingertips.

A New Menu Bar can now be accessed with a simple swipe, giving users instant access to key tools and workspace options.

Multi-window support allows users to open and manage multiple PDFs at once, switch between documents, compare files side by side, or move one to the background.

The Search bar is redesigned to make finding documents more intuitive. Users can search across Files, Recents, or Favourites, preview results and locate their files with a single tap.

With the support for trackpads, mice, and keyboard shortcuts, PDFgear transforms the iPad into a true desktop-class PDF editor built for office productivity.

POWERFUL PDF EDITING CAPABILITIES

Beyond the new design, PDFgear for iPad remains a powerful and complete PDF solution. Users can view documents, edit text and images directly, annotate, fill forms, E-sign and manage pages. It also supports file conversion, compression, and AI-powered document assistance that summarises and explains content instantly.

PDFGEAR’S FREE MODEL AND SAFETY

Unlike most PDF editors that lock features behind paywalls, PDFgear offers an extensive, professional-grade PDF toolkit for completely free.

As PDFgear’s user base continues to grow, some competitors have attempted to discredit it by spreading false claims about the product. According to the company’s official statement, PDFgear has been targeted in a coordinated online smear campaign involving fabricated posts and disinformation spread across Reddit communities.

Every version is verified clean by VirusTotal, one of the most trusted global malware scanning platforms.”

Despite the attacks, PDFgear remains committed to innovation and its mission to provide powerful, secure, and accessible PDF tools for everyone.

Champion Women and Advocacy Groups File Amicus Brief in Ninth Circuit Challenging NCAA Settlement That Entrenches Inequity and Silences Athletes’ Voices

OAKLAND, Calif., Nov. 12, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Champion Women, together with Wrestle Like A Girl, the Women’s Golf Coaches Association, and the Women’s Sports Policy Working Group, announced today that they have filed an amicus curiae brief with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in In re College Athlete NIL Litigation (No. 25-4190). According to Liberty Law, Inc., the filing supports a slew of objectors challenging the NCAA’s proposed $2.8 billion settlement, arguing that it perpetuates systemic inequities, suppresses athlete compensation, and strips athletes, particularly women and those in Olympic and non-revenue sports, of fair representation.

Logos of organizations that filed the amicus curiae brief
Image caption: Logos of organizations that filed the amicus curiae brief.

The amici warn that the settlement is not the “historic breakthrough” it has been portrayed to be, but rather is a deal that institutionalizes inequality. It binds nearly 400,000 current and former college athletes into one massive class action, negotiated by a single group of lawyers without independent or conflict-free counsel. Under the settlement, men’s football and basketball players receive more than 95% of the settlement funds, while athletes in 42 other NCAA sports, representing the overwhelming majority of Division I competitors, share less than 5% of the paltry settlement but are required to release all of their legal claims.

“This is not progress — it’s the preservation of the same inequities that have defined college sports for decades,” said Nancy Hogshead, Olympic gold medalist and founder of Champion Women. “The NCAA and class counsel have created a settlement that looks like reform but, in reality, leaves women athletes and most college sports behind.”

The amicus brief cites landmark Supreme Court precedents, Amchem Products, Inc. v. Windsor and Ortiz v. Fibreboard Corp., and the Third Circuit’s recent Murray decision, which all reaffirm that when class members have divergent interests, the law requires separate representation and conflict-free counsel. With 46 NCAA sports effectively competing for the same limited pool, the settlement exposes these conflicts, granting 95% of the proceeds to men’s football and basketball while providing minimal relief to women and athletes in non-revenue sports. The amici argue that this structure violates established class-action safeguards and fails to deliver the fairness the law demands.

Led by attorneys Gerson H. Smoger, JD., PhD. (Smoger & Associates), Micha Star Liberty (Liberty Law, Inc.), and David Arbogast (Arbogast Law), the amici call for the Ninth Circuit to remand the case to the district court with instructions to require separate, conflict-free counsel and dedicated representatives for women athletes and other underrepresented groups.

“True reform means every athlete, regardless of gender or sport, has an advocate fighting for their interests,” said attorney Micha Star Liberty. “This case is a turning point — the Ninth Circuit has the chance to decide whether college sports move toward equality or remain entrenched in the same systemic imbalance.”

Champion Women, Wrestle Like A Girl, the Women’s Golf Coaches Association, and the Women’s Sports Policy Working Group joined forces in this filing to stand for fairness, representation, and equality in collegiate athletics — principles that must finally extend to every athlete, in every sport.

The amicus brief was filed on November 10, 2025, and is available on the Ninth Circuit’s docket for In re College Athlete NIL Litigation (No. 25-4190).

A New Kind of Welcome: Hillcrest Invites Older Adults to Try Its Wellness Lifestyle – Before Moving In

LA VERNE, Calif., Nov. 12, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Hillcrest, one of Southern California’s leading Continuing Care Retirement Communities, invites older adults to join a truly special health and wellness program. For a limited time, anyone who joins Hillcrest’s Resident Registrant List will receive a complimentary one-year membership to the Hillcrest Aquatic and Fitness Center.

Image caption: Hillcrest, one of Southern California’s leading Continuing Care Retirement Communities, is offering members of its registrant list a complimentary one-year membership to its Aquatic and Fitness Center, which includes cardiovascular classes, strength training and aquatic fitness.

“Health and well-being go far beyond exercise,” said Ryan Harrison, PsyD, Certified Wellness Professional and Hillcrest’s Director of Resident Life and Wellness. “We focus on helping people find joy, connection, and purpose. Our goal is to help each person live vibrantly in every season of life.”

The program is open to local community members age 60 and older, not just residents. Even those on Hillcrest’s waiting list can take advantage of a free year of membership (a $60 monthly value). Members have access to classes offered at Hillcrest’s Aquatic and Fitness Center, including aquatic fitness classes in the heated pool and strength and balance-focused chair fitness classes

Hillcrest takes a whole-person approach to health and happiness, with a wellness philosophy guided by seven key dimensions that work together to support a meaningful and healthy life. These include: Body, Mind, Spirit, Environment, Emotions, Relationships, and Pursuits.

“Research continues to show that staying active, socially connected, and engaged leads to longer, happier lives,” said Harrison. “This free membership helps people experience that for themselves.”

Hillcrest’s new membership program is part of its commitment to community wellness and outreach. With the population living longer, it is the perfect time to commit to your health and well-being, says Harrison. Joining the fitness center supports overall well-being by fostering social connections, which recent research shows is an essential factor in healthy aging.

The offer gives participants access to professional wellness resources that are typically found only in senior living communities.

Hillcrest offers a variety of living options, including independent living in homes, cottages, and apartments, and a full continuum of care that includes assisted living, skilled nursing, and memory care. Community amenities include dining services, a fitness center, swimming pools, and organized activities for a vibrant, maintenance-free lifestyle.

WHAT’S NEW IN HITPAW FOTORPEA V5.1.0

1. Smarter Generative Enhancement: AI-Powered Clarity for Every Image

The new generative SD model in FotorPea V5.1.0 revolutionizes photo enhancement. Unlike traditional upscaling tools that merely enlarge pixels, the SD model uses generative AI to reconstruct lost details, making it ideal for:

  • Low-resolution portraits: Transforming blurry ID photos or old smartphone snapshots into sharp, print-ready images with natural skin textures.
  • Anime art restoration: Reviving pixelated anime screencaps or vintage manga scans by restoring line art clarity and vibrant colors.

2. All-Scenario Image Restoration: 5 Specialized Models Cover Various Needs

FotorPea V5.1.0 takes photo restoration to new heights with upgraded and expanded AI models tailored to diverse scenarios:

  • Upgraded “Multi-Person Repair & Colorization” – Fixes uneven lighting and faded colors in group photos while keeping skin tones consistent.
  • New “Vintage Restoration & Colorization” – Restores old photos with authentic period-appropriate colors like warm sepia or muted mid-century tones.
  • New “Single-Person Repair” – Perfectly restores damaged individual portraits, such as graduation or childhood photos.
  • New “Single-Person Colorization” – Adds natural, precise color to single-subject images without artificial effects.
  • New “Multi-Person Group Colorization” – Accurately colorizes multiple people and backgrounds for consistent clothing, environment, and skin tones.

3. AI Generator Innovation: Multi-Image Input & One-Click Super-Resolution

In response to growing demand for creative workflows, HitPaw FotorPea V5.1.0 now supports multi-image upload for reference-based AI generation. Users can easily combine multiple photos or styles to generate a new image that fuses their creative vision.

What’s more, all AI-generated results can be instantly enhanced with one-click Super Resolution, ensuring every creation is crisp, high-quality, and ready to share.

HitPaw FotorPea is compatible with Windows 11/10/8/7 (64-bit) and macOS 10.15 and above. Pricing starts at $22.39/Month for Windows and $25.59/Month for Mac.
