Aclaró AI: Helping You Manage Risk in Uncertain Times by Lowering Our Risk Management AI Price to $999/month

CHICAGO, Ill. /ScoopCloud/ -- The rise of COVID-19 is one of the most disruptive forces in recent memory, note Aclaró. Regardless of where you live, the coronavirus is changing nearly every element of modern-day life, whether that is social distancing, the omission of handshakes, and even the purchase of bulk goods for a sustained quarantine.

The coronavirus is also affecting nearly every sector or industry-including the automotive lending industry. Whether you work in the finance department of a car dealership or at an auto lending firm, this Black Swan event may be causing immense stress on your business. We are now living in a world where possible potential risks have become all-too-real risks. Borrowers may find it difficult to pay back their auto loans. Increase in payment default is all but certain. All of us at Aclaró AI are ready to help you manage these new risks.

Regardless of the size of your auto lending business, our sophisticated artificial intelligence ("AI") systems can help your finance team remotely mitigate risk and safeguard your auto loan portfolio. The near-term future is so uncertain, we want to do our part to help your business come out of this crisis with as little damage as possible.

Mitigating Risk Through Near-Term Uncertainty

Aclaró AI's overarching mission is to help our clients leverage AI to grow their dealerships and sales. Our team has worked hard to develop extremely advanced AI algorithms to assess portfolio risk and stay ahead of the unknown.

For instance, our TrueView product lets clients get a granular look at potential loan defaults. It lets you easily manage your entire loan portfolio, whether you want to identify some of your riskiest loans, safest loans, or both. Within the TrueView dashboard, you can quickly see metrics like insurance coverage, credit terms, vehicle data, employment information, and more. With the continuing spread of the coronavirus, TrueView can deliver some much-needed peace of mind, as it can deliver clients with upwards of 97% precision on the likelihood of full loan payment or default. TrueView provides default alerts months ahead of the default event. As it has been tested in over two million real-time loan risk evaluations in the past 18 months, TrueView can go a long way in mitigating your overall risk.

TrueView is just one of our products that can help you navigate these uncertain times. Some of our other products include Nexus Score and Nano Profile (which let you access granular information about a prospect's financial health) and EngageMe (which is a consumer engagement app that identifies a borrower's propensity to buy). Using all of these products together, you and your team can capitalize on data to minimize defaults and underwrite loans that are likely to be paid off.

When designing all of Aclaró AI's products, we were laser-focused on making the experience as seamless as possible. Our software lets you access real-time data wherever you are. We like to think of TrueView as a real-life risk management expert that is available anytime and anywhere. We can deliver personalized insights on your auto loan portfolio in real time and offer ideas on how you can minimize risk in the next few months. Even better, our services are not affected by things like quarantines, employee absences, or travel bans. We are always available and can be a trusted asset as your company navigates these near-unprecedented times.

If you are not yet an Aclaró AI client, we invite you to learn more about our platform by clicking here - http://aclaro-4642182.hs-sites.com/aclaro-loan-risk-repayment-insider-look_1-0

To help you manage your risk in these trying times, we have reduced the cost of our platform to start at $999 per month for portfolios of up to $25 million. Ultimately, we make it easy and highly cost-effective for you to leverage some of the most sophisticated AI technology to manage loan risk. Given the uncertain times we are living in becoming an Aclaró AI client is a smart investment.

Navigating Through the Fog

It is unclear when we will return to a sense of normalcy. Some say that we will be back to normal in just a few months while others project that the shakeout will take much longer.

However long it takes, the one thing we do know is that all businesses today must invest more time and resources into risk management. At Aclaró AI, we are laser-focused on helping our clients minimize their auto loan risk. We have developed a complete system that can identify risk and latent demand within your lending portfolio, allowing you to reduce financial damage from this global pandemic.

Aaron Ozee Entertains Families On COVID-19 Lockdown Debuting His ‘Regulus’ Movie Early

CHICAGO, Ill. /ScoopCloud/ -- Aaron Ozee, celebrity author of the bestselling children's book, "Regulus" (ISBN: 978-1387010790), has chosen to debut the Regulus movie, ahead of the July 25, 2020 release date, for a limited duration to entertain those who have been subjected to lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Pre-orders for purchase and rental were opened to public audiences this morning around the globe and prices have been slashed to make watching the Regulus movie affordable to families confronting hardship during this damaging outbreak.

"We as the human race understand the coming threats of the COVID-19 pandemic and seek entertainment to distract us from the horrors circulating the streets," says Ozee. "We know that children are the future, and during this grim period of history, they need creative stimulation more now than ever before. And, with that being said, we are proud to announce that 50% of the sales collected from the Regulus movie, the 'Regulus' book, and each title released under my name will be donated for the remainder of 2020 to help those affected by this unexpected health disaster. We are in this fight together. We are not alone here!"

Even with the early release of the "Regulus" movie, Ozee has confirmed the film will be available for purchase or rental on most video-on-demand and streaming services July 25, 2020 as planned from the start.

The premiere of the "Regulus" movie in the Northwest Suburbs of Chicago has been unchanged, which is scheduled for July 25, 2020 as well, but Ozee has vowed to monitor updates from the World Health Organization and the Center for Disease Control to decide otherwise.

The "Regulus" movie was thrust under the spotlight at the beginning of 2019 as the book carrying the same name garnered attention from celebrities, visited the most unreachable places such as Space and Mount Everest, shared with the most controversial political figures in power, and proceeds to dazzle whomever chooses to embrace the infamous rat king in appreciation for his beautiful tale.

For those who are interested to purchase or rent the Regulus movie ahead of the release date and wish to help families confronting the COVID-19 pandemic, visit https://www.regulusmovie.com.

Aaron Ozee Prepares ‘Regulus’ Movie Global Release After Wrapping Production

CHICAGO, Ill. /ScoopCloud/ -- Aaron Ozee, the author of the bestselling children's book, "Regulus" (ISBN: 978-1387010790), has announced the development of the Regulus movie has wrapped two months ahead of schedule. Bizarros Studio, the animation group responsible for having purchased the "Regulus" film rights, coordinated production on the Regulus movie from their official headquarters located in the city of Bogota, Columbia.

Bizarros Studio entrusted Ozee to assume the role of Director on the Regulus movie to ensure authenticity of the book was not compromised and matched the experimental approach taken. Ozee instructed the animators from Bizarros Studio since production began to use stop-motion techniques as they developed each scene to embolden the strengths of the original story giving children and families a rare viewing experience.

Other decisions that were made as Ozee spearheaded the project were to eliminate the need for voiceover talent, same can be said about choosing music that contained verbal communication, and immerse every second of footage with psychological schemes to get viewers on the edge of their seats.

"Learning the Regulus movie wrapped production before the animation group forecasted was an incredible feeling. Bizarros Studio granted me permission to see the final cut of the Regulus movie, and despite being restricted on which information can be disclosed with public audiences, what can be said is that people will adore it," commented Ozee.

The release date of the Regulus movie, according to Bizarros Studio, has been set for the 25th of July 2020 and will host an exclusive premiere on the same date in or around the City of Chicago.

Bizarros Studio launched the official website for the Regulus movie days following the news that production wrapped at the following website address: https://www.regulusmovie.com.

Advanced orders for rentals and purchases of the Regulus movie poured through on the first day with a total of 3,200 transactions. Ozee has arranged with Bizarros Studio to launch the Regulus movie using streaming services and video-on-demand services on the night of the premiere hosted in Chicago. More information about which streaming services and video-on-demand services will include the Regulus movie in their libraries will be released as the July 25, 2020 release date approaches.

For anyone wanting to read the book way before renting or purchasing the Regulus movie, visit local bookstores near you, prominent online marketplaces, or visit https://www.aaronozee.com to buy.

Aaron Ozee Secures Agreement with Production Studio Filming ‘Regulus’ Movie

CHICAGO, Ill. /ScoopCloud/ -- Aaron Ozee, the author of bestselling children's book, "Regulus" (ISBN: 9781387010790), has sold the production rights from his notable creation to a prominent stop-motion animation studio that will adapt "Regulus" into an unorthodox theatrical feature. "Regulus" was released through Lulu Press, being the lead self-publishing house that coordinated the launch of the famed tale, and has entranced the global literary community for the past three years.

"Regulus" has secured praise from iconic celebrities, has produced custom merchandise for younger audiences such as video games or plush animals, has entertained influential political figures, and has touched unreachable locations such as space.

Readers everywhere have remained patient for "Regulus" to be reimagined for the big screen but have only heard rumors as the legend circulating this prodigious book keeps growing larger than anyone could have ever pictured. Ivan Rodriguez, leader of the animation team coordinating the production of the film, has instructed his talented ensemble of artists to construct the movie with bewildering notions.

"Rather than becoming another theatrical feature that people will forget in a week once they have seen it for the first time, 'Regulus' will soon become a film that people will remember for generations. We are pursuing an experimental direction that will use loving music, unique sound effects, illustrious scenery, manuscript passages, and character movement in order to convey the progression of the storyline," said Ozee during the first announcement of the film.

Production on the film has been scheduled for completion at the end of February, but the official release month of "Regulus" has been disclosed as July 2020.

The premiere of "Regulus" has been arranged for the same month as the release of the film and will be privately hosted in Chicago for national media, crew members, family, and friends to see the first screening. Following midnight of the Chicago premiere, Ozee has informed fans the film will be launched on streaming services and video-on-demand services for rental or purchase.

Future announcements will be shared about which streaming services or video-on-demand services will make "Regulus" available but should be disclosed once production on the film has wrapped.

"Being someone that appreciates catching new movies when they reach theaters, hosting the premiere in my hometown of Chicago was the meaningful choice. However, there has always been something about movies that are distributed using the means of the virtual universe which fascinates me. The reason for distributing this film through streaming services or video-on-demand services comes from the need to be relevant and remain accessible to consumers worldwide," said Ozee during the first announcement of the film.

CHICAGO, Ill. /ScoopCloud/ -- Aaron Ozee, author of notable children's book, "Regulus" (ISBN: 9781387010790), has partnered with popularized international tourism organization, Young Pioneer Tours, bringing a printed copy of his charming narrative along with them during their expedition into the exclusion zone of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster.

Since the critical failure of the fourth reactor in April 1986, radiation continues to spew from the ruins and will remain for an excess of 20,000 years. Despite certain areas within the exclusion zone having diminished levels of radiation, those who choose to join excursions of the apocalyptic region are restricted to finite viewing periods and must be accompanied by licensed guides with knowledge of the locale.

Beneath the control of the Soviet Union, the containment of the catastrophic event evacuated 30 kilometers (18.6 miles) within the Ivankiv Region of Northern Kiev, Ukraine and encased the City of Pripyat, which had been constructed years before, resting just 2 miles away. Being regarded as "the worst nuclear disaster this world has ever seen" by those with extensive insight of the occurrence, Chernobyl will forever amaze the curious with bewildering agitation.

Following the sending of "Regulus" into space, between the legendary Galapagos Islands, and across the snowy peaks of Mount Everest, the buzz around this memorable fable advances on.

"Crafting the lessons which make "Regulus" such an engaging tale was pleasing knowing they carried the potential for changing the minds of young readers around the globe. Not only would these lessons entertain these aspirational children, but it would bring them genuine happiness in sight of the anger plaguing our society. Knowing the history behind the Chernobyl incident, the idea came to me to dispatch my inspirational creation to a place which has not been happy for a very long time," commented Ozee during the announcement of the achievement.

Aside from the execution of this project, 'Regulus' has procured a few world records as the First Self-Published Book To Visit Chernobyl, the First American Children's Book To Visit Chernobyl, and the First Children's Book To Visit Chernobyl. Writers, publishers, and readers are holding their breath in view of the steps "Regulus" has taken recently and linger with anticipation for what comes next.

Copies of "Regulus" can be purchased from https://www.aaronozee.com or mainstream shopping outlets. As for details about Young Pioneer Tours, just visit https://www.youngpioneertours.com.

Reality of a Veteran-Owned Family Business: Daniel and Joy Symonds, Funeral Home Owners, Available for Veterans Day Interviews

ELGIN, Ill. /ScoopCloud/ -- As Veteran's Day approaches, Symonds-Madison Funeral Home announced that Daniel and Joy Symonds, the husband and wife team behind the family-run funeral home in Elgin, Illinois, are available for interviews about life as veteran and military spouse owners of a family business.

"I have served in the Army for 17.5 years and have owned my business for six years," said Daniel Symonds, Owner of Symonds-Madison Funeral Home. "The military taught me how to take charge and get the job done, in a disciplined manner. I also learned the importance of real-time feedback, and how to use that information to improve your performance. This translates well to customer service, because any successful business needs the ability to make adjustments to better serve your customers."

Symonds is currently a First Sergeant in the U.S. Army Reserve. He is a second-generation licensed Funeral Director and U.S. Army Reserve Soldier, following in his father's footsteps of military and funeral service. In addition to working in funeral service for 25 years, Daniel has served four tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, and throughout the world on training missions in Panama, Germany, Korea and Malaysia. He serves on the Executive Board of American Legion Post 57. He has owned Symonds-Madison Funeral Home together with his wife since December 2013. He has two daughters who he hopes will follow in his footsteps of military.

"On Veteran's Day, it is important to remember the families behind the soldiers. My husband really has three wives - the Army, our business, and me," said Joy Symonds, Owner and Director of Community Engagement for Symonds-Madison Funeral Home. "Balancing the demands of work and family life amidst the needs of the military can be challenging. You truly have to embrace flexibility and work hard to prepare for those times when your spouse and business partner has to be away on military business, anywhere from a weekend to an extended deployment. Having a supportive community all year long is so very important to making it through those challenging times."

To schedule a Veteran's Day interview with Daniel or Joy, please call 847-741-1168 or email joy@symondsmadison.com.

At Symonds-Madison Funeral Home we believe every funeral should be as special as the person it honors. We are a veteran and family-owned funeral home that thrives on helping you create a final, heartfelt experience that exceeds your expectations, regardless of budget.

North Korea Ejects Aaron Ozee’s Bestselling Children’s Book ‘Regulus’ from DMZ

CHICAGO, Ill. /ScoopCloud/ -- Aaron Ozee, author of the notable children's book, "Regulus" (ISBN: 9781387010790), clashed with the government of North Korea when the attempt was made to bring his parable across the border at Panmunjom.

When "Regulus" approached the main entrance of the Demilitarized Zone, being where North Korea and South Korea meet, border patrol guards seized the book and retreated behind closed doors with great haste to review the questionable reading material.

Upon reviewing the book, it was the express command of the North Korean government that "Regulus" be taken away from their presence in sight of the antagonist rat casting their Supreme Leader, Kim Jong Un, beneath a tyrannical view.

Other reasons for the sudden ejection came from the foundation of the tale as it would spark rebellion among their people (which happens to be the climax of the story) along with associating their propaganda with the symbol of the rat (known for being used as the label of dehumanization for Jewish citizens under Nazi Germany).

North Korea has the most intense censorship laws of any nation on Earth and struggles with considerable force to prevent citizens residing within their country from being unnecessarily exposed to empowering Western culture.

"Sending my cherished apologue to North Korea was executed with the intention of showing the world that 'Regulus' can be appreciated everywhere absent the corruption of dictatorships. And, with much surprise, that dream was challenged by the North Korean government as they refused to permit my welcoming creation from taking another step forward. My work should never be a source of rejection since the morals of this story are pure of heart and carry intentions which are bolstered with tremendous spirit," commented Ozee during the announcement of this outrageous circumstance.

Aside from the mission bearing disappointing fruit, "Regulus" has just become the First American Children's Book Ejected From North Korea, First Children's Book Ejected From North Korea, and First Self-Published Book Ejected From North Korea.

Even though writers and readers around the globe are not shocked by this unexpected milestone, they have reached out to Ozee with tokens of encouragement as they wait for "Regulus" to make another original venture.

Copies of "Regulus" can be purchased from https://www.aaronozee.com/ or mainstream outlets.

New Novella ‘Off the Hook’ by Romance Author Dania Voss Explores the Challenges of Young Love, Wealth and Professional Sports

CHICAGO, Ill. /ScoopCloud/ -- Chicagoland romance author Dania Voss explores the challenges of young love while dealing with the pressures of wealth and professional sports, in her latest release, new adult novella "Off the Hook" (ISBN: 978-1773399911; Ebook).

She was headed to college. He was an up and coming pitcher in the majors. Life had other plans and threw them a curve ball.

Abbey Jayne has always been a bit of a nerd. She prefers books and computers over people. Especially boys. She hasn't worried much about dating and is content taking a backseat to her sister Cassie, the social butterfly. Abbey's headed to college in the fall anyway.

Everything changes after she reluctantly agrees to join Cassie and her boyfriend for dinner. Hunky pitcher for the Chicago Cobras, Luke Stryker is also coming along. He seems larger than life and Abbey's surprised by her attraction to him.

At twenty, Luke Stryker is already one of the best pitchers in the majors and the sole heir to his family's fortune. His world turns upside down when he meets Abbey. Right away, he senses she's special. That she's meant to be his.

With their relationship growing quickly, Luke asks Abbey to join him on the road for the adventure of a lifetime before her classes start in the fall, but she's torn about what she should do. Her mother is upset and Luke's agent thinks she's in the way. Abbey believes she and Luke have a future together, but it won't be easy.

Can young love survive the stresses of family, college, life on the road, and everything that goes along with being a professional athlete?

"I'm thrilled to share Luke and Abbey's origin story with my readers," Voss states. "I felt it was the right time at this point in my Windy City Nights series to reveal how they met and fell in love, before everything fell apart and they reunite ten years later in my novel On the Ropes."

"Off the Hook" is available on Amazon at: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07TMKMVVT

Ebook ISBN: 978-1773399911

Aaron Ozee Lands Bestselling Children’s Book ‘Regulus’ on Galapagos Islands

CHICAGO, Ill. /ScoopCloud/ -- Aaron Ozee, author of notable children's book, "Regulus" (ISBN: 978-1387010790), has partnered with adored intercontinental tourism network, Rainforest Cruises, bringing a printed copy of his enchanting publication along with them during their exploration of the Galapagos Islands.

Being the legendary volcanic archipelago that Charles Darwin visited in 1835 while conducting research for his Theory of Evolution, Galapagos Islands are the permanent residence for 56 species with 27 of those species only found in the region. The assemblage of wildlife boasts tortoises, lizards, birds, fish, and blooming vegetation which drives visitors from around the globe to explore the untouched wonders of the gargantuan national park.

Located 1,000 kilometers from the nearest coast, Galapagos Islands are positioned in the Pacific Ocean and remain a Province of Ecuador alongside the eastern reach of Latin America. Multiple adventurers have organized missions to survey the flourishing ecosystem of the chained isle and made exuberant discoveries which have classified Galapagos Islands as the most diverse habitat on the planet.

Following the sending of "Regulus" into the expansive void of space or across the snowy peaks of Mount Everest, the marvelous chatter that has emerged from the procurement of these achievements continues to conjure greater curiosity as Ozee develops his next great move.

"Even though science was never my favorite subject during school, my fascination around the unexplored came from certain experiences throughout my childhood," commented Ozee during the announcement of this historical undertaking. "Charles Darwin, the most prolific naturalist of the 20th Century, found the Galapagos Islands to contain secrets which have stunned humankind for centuries. Witnessing the beauty of the Galapagos Islands has become an exhilarating myth for me rather than luxurious vacations for those with fearless pleasures. Seeing how the Galapagos Islands have revealed breathtaking evidence supporting the dawn of man, the significance of this venture exceeds our appreciation for biological grandeur."

Aside from the execution of this project, "Regulus" has become the First Children's Book On Galapagos Islands, the First Self-Published Book On Galapagos Islands, and the First American Children's Book On Galapagos Islands. The growing community of writers, publishers, and readers are scratching their heads over how Ozee has managed to collect these feats using limited resources and when the next locale will unravel.

Copies of "Regulus" can be purchased from https://www.aaronozee.com or mainstream shopping outlets.

USDTL Test Helps Identify Newborns Exposed to Fentanyl Abuse

DES PLAINES, Ill. /ScoopCloud/ -- Over the last few decades, United States Drug Testing Laboratories, Inc. (USDTL), has been quietly making a huge impact on the lives of some of the most vulnerable Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) patients, newborns exposed to substances of abuse during gestation. Today USDTL announced that they are the first laboratory in the world to commercially offer newborn fentanyl testing in both meconium and umbilical cord tissue specimens.

Fentanyl, defined by the Center of Disease Control (cdc.org), is a synthetic opioid that is extremely addictive. Like other opioids, abuse during pregnancy can cause newborns to go into dangerous withdrawal known as Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS) and/or have other devastating physical abnormalities. Fentanyl is a powerful, inexpensive drug that is being cut into illicit substances and its presence is increasing throughout the country.

"Traditionally, fentanyl was mainly accessible via prescribed patches and intravenously, so testing for it was generally reserved for people that had specific access to it. Now, the distribution of fentantyl is booming through illicit drug trade communities in volumes that are difficult to estimate. Unfortunately, testing for fentanyl as part of a detection or exposure protocol is becoming the new normal. We are grateful to be able to develop and offer these tests to answer the call of so many hospital partners that are trying to get on top of this epidemic," said Joseph Jones, Chief Operating Officer at USDTL.

Meconium and umbilical cord tissue are both considered advanced long-term drug testing specimens because both start capturing substances in the newborn's system up to approximately 20-weeks before birth. For comparison, newborn urine drug testing has a typical lookback window up to approximately 2-3 days before birth. This longer window of detection from advanced specimens makes it possible to get a better picture of what is going on with the newborn.

"Adapting our tactics -from a population health standpoint- and being able to test for more prevalently abused drugs in the industry is crucial. The landscape continues to change and as a community we have to be prepared to keep up with the trends," said Douglas Lewis, President and Founder of USDTL.

About USDTL

USDTL, is a leader in newborn toxicology, alcohol biomarkers, and substances of abuse testing. They specialize in niche areas of forensic drug and alcohol testing by offering the most comprehensive testing panels on the market. They have decades of cutting-edge innovations that have been adopted and serve the population health needs of hospitals, legal organizations, and more. Learn more: http://www.usdtl.com/

Aaron Ozee Loses Bestselling Children’s Book ‘Regulus’ Inside Bermuda Triangle

CHICAGO, Ill. /ScoopCloud/ -- Aaron Ozee, author of notable children's book, "Regulus" (ISBN: 978-1387010790), has partnered with independent aviation consultants to send a printed copy of his esteemed parable into the mythical depth of the Bermuda Triangle.

With the first notorious disappearances beginning during the early 17th Century, there have been more than one thousand reported cases of vehicles designed for traveling on water or through air vanishing without reasonable cause. Despite researchers or scientists developing ways to debunk the legend that has encompassed the Bermuda Triangle, an excess of evidence has emerged from the recent deliverance of "Regulus" unto the abnormal region of watery riddles.

Launched on the coast of the Florida Keys, the printed copy of "Regulus" was fastened upon a quality commercial drone that was guided remotely into the elusive zone by an expert team of operators. Following a successful launch from the Florida Keys around 6:30 AM ET on September 20, the operators had reported signal interference of the live video being transmitted after traveling five miles from the shore.

Once interference with the live video became worse, the operators changed the settings of the drone to boost the signal, and twenty minutes following the original report of interference, an unexpected challenge arose when the streaming feed was terminated around 6:50 a.m. ET. As the live video ceased streaming, the global positioning system became conflicted as coordinate pings were paused absent warning.

Being prepared for this potential scenario, the operators brought an extra drone that was used to search the area where the first drone carrying "Regulus" broadcasted notices of aeronautical failure. After investigating the coordinates of the final location of the first drone, the operators were unable to determine the position of the vehicle or spot any fresh debris.

"Learning about different vehicles that have gone missing in the Bermuda Triangle working my way through school placed that sense of wonder in my thoughts. Witnessing the feats 'Regulus' has achieved while visiting the most extreme places on Earth gave me the inspiration necessary for sending my revered creation somewhere cloaked with the unknown. Even though it was the goal of this project to capture pictures or video during the flight, something far rarer came from this historical attempt," said Ozee during the announcement of this venture.

"Regulus" became the First Children's Book Lost To Bermuda Triangle, the First American Children's Book Lost To Bermuda Triangle, and the First Self-Published Book Lost To Bermuda Triangle. Everyone has been holding their breath with anticipation for what Ozee has on the block to proclaim next.

Copies of "Regulus" can be purchased from https://www.aaronozee.com or mainstream outlets.

‘Treasure Trove’ From Italy’s ‘Most Underrated Museum’ Travels to The United States for the First Time

CHICAGO, Ill. /ScoopCloud/ -- It is with great pleasure that the American Friends of Capodimonte (AFC) announce the first U.S. traveling exhibition of 40 Renaissance and Baroque masterpieces, most of which have never been viewed by an American audience, from the Capodimonte Museum in Naples, Italy; the royal palace built in 1738 by Charles of Bourbon, King of Naples and Sicily (later King Charles III of Spain).

"Flesh & Blood: Italian Masterpieces from the Capodimonte Museum" will open October 17, 2019 and run through January 26, 2020 at the Seattle Art Museum (SAM) in Washington state before traveling to Fort Worth's Kimbell Art Museum in Texas from March 1, 2020 to June 14, 2020.

"This spectacular exhibit is also a testament to the strong cooperation between Italy and the United States and some of their greatest cultural institutions which tirelessly endeavored to renew the bonds of our deep cultural ties by bringing a unique glimpse of Italy to Seattle and Fort Worth," says Armando Varricchio, Ambassador of Italy to the United States.

"We're thrilled for SAM to be the only West Coast venue for this powerful exhibition from the extraordinary Capodimonte Museum-our first collaboration with the institution," says SAM's Curator of European Painting and Sculpture, Chiyo Ishikawa. Eric M. Lee, director of the Kimbell Museum, says the exhibition's paintings "embody innovation, exuberance and grandeur-the result of revolutionary painting techniques and dramatic use of light and dark. The works continue to influence artists and inspire art lovers the world over."

"Flesh & Blood" is presented chronologically, tracing a 200-year period from the sixteenth through the eighteenth centuries. Highlights include Parmigianino's Antea (ca. 1535), El Greco's Boy Blowing on an Ember (1571-1572), Titian's Danae (1544-1545) and Artemisia Gentileschi's Judith and Holofernes (ca. 1612-1617), featured in "When a Woman Wields a Weapon" in the Wall Street Journal, August 16, 2019.

"The joy of Capodimonte," says the museum's director Sylvain Bellenger, "is not only the breadth of the collection, but the quality. We have the best of Titian, Parmigianino, Annibale Carracci, not to mention Italian giants unknown to the general public like Schedoni and Preti. This exhibition brings many of these knock-out masterpieces to the United States for the first time."

EXHIBITION CATALOGUE:
A 160-page illustrated softcover exhibition catalogue, produced in collaboration with the American Friends of Capodimonte Curatorial Fellows, will be available at the Seattle Art Museum and Kimbell Art Museum.

ABOUT CAPODIMONTE MUSEUM:
Referred to as an "under-visited treasure trove" by the New York Times in 2019 and "the most underrated museum in Italy" by Condé Nast Traveler in 2016, Capodimonte was built in 1738 by King Charles of Bourbon. It sits atop the highest hill above the ancient city of Naples, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The core of the collection is the Farnese collection of paintings and sculpture, formed in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries and inherited by Charles of Bourbon. This fall the museum opens a yearlong exhibition on the oldest opera house in Europe, Naples' Teatro San Carlo. The exhibition, "Napoli Napoli: Of Lava, Porcelain and Music," recounts the Bourbon monarchy's patronage of the arts and sciences during Naples' golden age.

Aaron Ozee Guides Bestselling Children’s Book ‘Regulus’ Across Mount Everest

CHICAGO, Ill. /ScoopCloud/ -- Aaron Ozee, bestselling author of notable children's book, "Regulus" (ISBN: 978-1387010790), partnered with select tourist operations in Kathmandu, Nepal to bring a printed copy of his famed tale with them during their procession of Base Camp on Mount Everest.

Base Camp is located on the Southeast Ridge of Mount Everest at 17,600 feet (5,380 meters) and is the beginning point for climbers looking to complete their lives upon reaching the summit.

Based on the unforgiving nature of the gargantuan pinnacle layered in glistening snow, Mount Everest stands as the highest elevation on Earth measuring at 29,029 feet (8,848 meters) and swindles the souls of experienced mountaineers with the dream of scaling the freezing range each season. Following the successful launch of "Regulus" into space during June of this year, which happens to be the most extreme locale known to humankind, Ozee decided to dispatch printed copies of his written masterpiece to regions equipped with lethal determination.

"Reaching for the stars was the challenge of a lifetime. With several failures along the way, the promise of sending 'Regulus' into space withered following each attempt. But, considering the vacuum of space has now graced my creation with bewildering muse, it came time for my child to witness the rest of the world," said Ozee during his announcement of reaching Mount Everest.

Aside from coordinating photoshoots with "Regulus" depicted alongside Mount Everest, it is the First Children's Book On Mount Everest, the First American Children's Book On Mount Everest and the First Self-Published Book On Mount Everest. Ozee has expressed his sincere gratitude to each tourist operation in Kathmandu, Nepal that allocated resources to ensuring the results of the mission were favorable (Mosaic Adventure, Amigo Trekking, and Himalayan Wonders). Seeing "Regulus" claim five new world records within two months, the global community of publishers, readers, and writers are enduring the pain of waiting to see where the celebrated story goes next.

Copies of "Regulus" can be purchased from https://www.aaronozee.com or mainstream shopping outlets.

* Demographic information
* Academic programs

* State economic impact and jobs
* Financial aid provided by each institution

"We want to encourage sharing this information with individuals, families, school personnel, human resources professionals, business contacts and others," Weltman said.

The data were updated by Quinn Leach, intern and graduate of ACI member North Park University, Chicago, and Eli O'Sullivan Kurtz, ACI manager of operations and research, using publicly available sources. Sources included member schools' own websites, plus data from the Federation of Independent Colleges and Universities' Economic Input Calculator and the National Center for Education Statistics' Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System.

Performance Journey Partners announce the release of their new book ‘Performance Eating Rabbits – What B.O.L.D. People See and Do’

CHICAGO, Ill. /ScoopCloud/ -- Performance Journey Partners announce the release of their new book "Performance Eating Rabbits - What B.O.L.D. People See and Do" (ISBN: 978-1478793922) by Timothy Gillum and Kery Mortenson. It is now available online through Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

This non-fiction book provides a colorful road map to rapidly drive transformational results!

Creating robust team and organizational improvement can be daunting-like a magician who must pull a rabbit out of a hat! Unfortunately, what often results is more a Performance Eating Rabbit, which is not cute or cuddly, and is not pulled from a hat. This rabbit emerges from a different orifice and has one priority: to devour the desired performance in an organization.

Authors Tim and Kery describe seven types of these Performance Eating Rabbits along with unique methods and innovative tools used to mitigate their destruction, while also harnessing their power. These methods and tools in the hands of a person being B.O.L.D. are transformational.

B.O.L.D. is a simple acronym for describing the behaviors exemplar individuals exhibit, while driving results that can (and should be) achieved:
B - Be authentic to your core values - regardless of your circumstances.
O - Open-minded to new ideas and ways of thinking.
L - Lead with courage and humility.
D - Define new standards for excellence and performance in yourself and others.

The authors leverage a creative and measurable blend of performance technology tools that align with the strategic needs and purpose of the organization. The innovative nature of this conceptual blend breathes new life into the tried and true standard tools of learning, organizational development and performance technology.

It also leverages measurement tools and impactful story-telling techniques. The practical application of this process rapidly enables the reader to identify, select, communicate, implement and measure a strategic plan (while keeping a pulse on the cultural fabric of the organization).

"Kery and Tim have done an exceptional job of balancing purposeful content with inviting questions of reflection coupled with practical handouts. Add Performance Eating Rabbits to your must-read list," said Judith Hale, PhD, CPT, CACP, CIDD.

About the authors:

Tim & Kery are co-founders of Performance Journey Partners, an enterprise dedicated to partnering with leaders, teams and organizations to transform their current state into a desired state using simple, rapid and innovative tools and methods.

Certified Test-Only Illinois Mold Inspector Provides Unbiased Property Mold Analysis

NAPERVILLE, Ill. /ScoopCloud/ -- Just the thought of a mold problem can set most people into a panic. Know Mold(tm), a BBB-accredited mold spore analyst, works to alleviate that anxiety. Its lab, Midwest Aerobiology Labs, is a test-only facility and has nothing to gain by finding mold on a property. It only works to test and provide practical and easy solutions, if needed.

"We know that getting accurate mold test results is one of the keys to health and safety and our test results are accurate and thorough," Darryl Morris, president, Know Mold, says.

Comprehensive data collection and mold spore analysis leads to a final report that helps clients and the company to work together to find the best possible solution. If mold is located, Know Mold provides useful suggestions for how to get rid of the mold at a minimal cost. It not only saves money, but provides peace of mind too because many times, mold is not the issue. There could be other underlying issues in play.

"Many other mold testing companies offer mold remediation services," Morris says. "We don't. We have absolutely nothing to gain by finding mold. We only want to help clients determine if there's a problem or not. Our assessments are honest and unbiased. We don't sell mold remediation and we don't receive any commission from mold removal contractors."

Know Mold's services are also very personalized. Morris visits each home or business and works directly with the client so he personally gets to know the people and the property. This personalized relationship often helps to uncover the root of the problem and mold remediation is not always the answer.

"We really have our clients' best interest at heart," Morris says. "We've created a business with no conflict of interest -just the real facts."

A certified mold inspection includes: visual inspection, moisture readings, a report with recommendations, and two mold tests - one control and one inside.

Dr. Lauren Goodall (PsyD) Debunks Stereotypes About Bipolar Disorder in Her New Book ‘Bipolar is not an STD’

CHICAGO, Ill. /ScoopCloud/ -- Dr. Lauren Goodall (PsyD), debunks stereotypes about Bipolar disorder in her new book "Bipolar is not an STD" (ISBN: 978-1543975581). Dr. Goodall designed the book around the idea that people can get better much faster, if they know how to recognize what symptoms look like. "People are trying to recognize stereotypes, instead of symptoms, and that doesn't work."

In further conversation with Dr. Goodall, she named her book specifically to stop unnecessary stigma behind the diagnosis of Bipolar. In her translation of the title- "Too many people hear the word Bipolar and attach misperceptions that aren't warranted. I've spent a full career working with these people. Bipolar, if anything, can be confusing to detect, and people who have Bipolar, current research says that they get wrongly diagnosed 69% of the time, out of the gate. This number is way too high, and people can't afford years off their life, getting bad diagnosis, because of confusing symptoms with other diagnosis".

Goodall states, "I've always believed that if you can get the symptoms understood, and educate people, there doesn't have to be a log jam of years of endless therapy, and wrong medications. In this day and age, where mental health is making the headlines, because of improper diagnosis early on; and missing very essential details. Bad information and wrong classifications cost us generations."

Dr. Goodall was excited also to announce that she will be taking her new book, "Bipolar IS Not An STD" on the road in a lecture component directly to the people.

Her tour will include Chicago, Ann Arbor, San Diego, Phoenix, New York, and Miami. Dates of cities TBA.

"Bipolar is not an STD," is currently released and available in softcover thru her website, https://drlaurengoodall.com/.

Book in traditional print and E-book are available thru Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other major book retailers. Dr. Goodall is available for interview by contacting her via the above website.

EON Clinics Announces New Clinic Location in Oakbrook Terrace

CHICAGO, Ill. /ScoopCloud/ -- EON Clinics Founder and President Rajan Sharma, DDS, announces the opening of a new all-in-one dental implant center in Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois. The facility, located at One Parkview Plaza, 17W110 22nd Street, Suite 150, is replacing the Westmont location and will also serve as the company's new corporate headquarters.

EON Clinics offers exceptional dental implant treatment in the convenience of one setting, delivered by a highly specialized team of oral surgeons, prosthodontists, clinicians, lab technicians, and support staff with extensive expertise. "At EON Clinics, we ensure that every person who walks through our doors can make an informed decision about the best treatment option to fit their unique needs, whether they're missing one, several, or all their teeth," said Dr. Sharma.

As is customary at all EON Clinics locations, clients who call to schedule a visit at the Oakbrook Terrace office will receive a complimentary, no-obligation consultation from a prosthodontist and treatment coordinator who will assist them through the journey, including help with financial or other treatment matters that may arise. During the free consultation, information is gathered about the prospective patient's overall health and specific dental needs. Clinic staff then review dental implant treatment options with the individual, explaining the advantages and disadvantages of each.

The consultation also includes a 3-D CT scan to evaluate the condition of the individual's teeth, soft tissue, nerve pathways, and bone. In a single scan, this sophisticated imaging technology quickly provides 3-D images that help guide accurate placement of dental implants.

All-On-4 Dental Implants Provide a Unique Solution for Missing Teeth:

All-On-4 dental implants are a highly effective solution for people in need of full upper and/or lower restorations, with a success rate of nearly 98%. Instead of using bone grafting and six to eight implants for each full arch of teeth, the All-On-4 approach requires the placement of only four implants and rarely necessitates grafting. After the initial consultation and prosthodontic exam, patients receive a full-set of non-removable teeth in just one appointment.

Traditional Dental Implants:

Dental implants are ideal for patients missing several teeth or a single tooth. During an outpatient procedure, a small hole is drilled in the patient's jawbone and a titanium screw is carefully placed into the bone. The strong and durable titanium metal "fuses" with the patient's jawbone in a process called osseointegration. The gum is placed over the implant so it can heal, which takes about 3 to 6 months. After sufficient healing, a second surgery is performed to fit the connector into the top of the implant. The natural-looking porcelain crown is then fixed to the connector. Approximately 500,000 people undergo dental implant procedures each year with a national success rate of 93-95%. EON Clinics' success rate exceeds 98%, due to the extensive expertise of the entire team including oral surgeons and prosthodontists, in-house lab, and sophisticated technology, all located in a one-stop facility.

About EON Clinics:

Dr. Rajan Sharma founded family-operated and owned EON Clinics in 2007 as University Dental Implant Facility, changing the name in 2010. Currently, services focused solely on state-of-the-art dental implants are provided at three locations in suburban Chicago, with two additional facilities in Munster, Indiana and Waukesha, Wisconsin.
