Indiana Virtual School Partners with EdisonLearning to Increase Quality Online Education Options

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. /ScoopCloud/ -- Indiana Virtual School announces that it will be partnering with international education services provider - EdisonLearning - to expand and enhance the delivery of online courses to students and school corporations across the State of Indiana.

The new partnership will continue to focus on offering online courses to those students who, because of changing life circumstances, find a virtual educational experience more aligned with their current needs.

In addition to the new EdisonLearning eCourses, Indiana Virtual will continue to deliver online courses developed and provided by PLATO and Florida Virtual. With this addition, Indiana Virtual will offer more online course offerings than any other virtual school in the State of Indiana.

Dr. Percy Clark, Superintendent of Indiana Virtual School, is very excited about how this will help all students in our state to participate in the learning process and earn a CORE 40 diploma. Given that Indiana has a number of school corporations, who often cope with budget constraints which limits their ability to provide the necessary classes for individual students, districts across the State may choose to utilize our courses as an option. Dr. Clark worked with Edison Schools, which preceded EdisonLearning.

Dr. Clark stated, "EdisonLearning, as an educational entity, has for more than a quarter of a century represented an international model of excellence. It is imperative that we continue to provide as many choices as possible for students to achieve academic excellence and success. This partnership represents a solid contribution to the academic arena."

Thom Jackson, President & CEO of EdisonLearning, stated, "We are honored to partner with Indiana Virtual School, and pleased to have the opportunity to help guide young people in Indiana on their educational journey to achieve and succeed."

DayStar Books Introduces New Website to Keep Gardeners Informed on Tips and Techniques to Reduce Consumer Gardening Prices

DETROIT, Mich. /ScoopCloud/ -- DayStar Books' has launched a new website and companion eBook offering lesser known tips & techniques to consumers on factors affecting gardening prices entitled "Eastern Market Flower Deals."

Visit the new site at: http://eastern-market-flower-deals.daystarbooks.com/.

Garden Plant Prices Rise - Plant Count Is Reduced!
For the past forty years the greenhouse grower industry has been slowly downsizing the garden flat. Originally, a flat of bedding plants contained a total of 96 plants. Over time that plant count slowly reduced from 96 plants down to 54 plants per flat. Years following a steady decline continued from 48 to 36 plants-flat sizes vary across the state.

Today most flats contain from 12 to 24 plants. It is common to find a measly six 4-inch pots priced at $10-12. Compare that to forty years ago, a flat of 96 plants cost $6.

Graphically Speaking: Infographic illustrates the relationship between rising bedding plant prices & reduced plant count over the years (source: EMFBG).

Summary:
The information is of great benefit to readers of news outlets with a home and gardening related readership. Experienced gardeners, especially young new home owners, and consumers can benefit from this knowledge.

The information found on the new website will be the solution to give consumers the know-how to purchase premium garden flowers, at reduced prices at the Eastern Market. Additionally, consumers can apply the several tips and techniques at Big Box Stores, Roadside Flower Stands, and Greenhouses.

Convicted Actor Steve Comisar Nears One Million Twitter Followers While in Prison

HOLLYWOOD, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Steve Comisar is living proof that nothing is impossible. With close to one million Twitter followers and over one million YouTube video views, Comisar has become a highly respected social media celebrity. This is because Steve Comisar is the only Hollywood actor that is also a famous con man.

Comisar's publicist, Laura Levine, says, "Steve Comisar acquired his huge social media following while serving his prison sentence for fraud. He has more Twitter followers than most famous actors who have ten times the credits and never spent a day in jail. Even Jack Dorsey, the billionaire CEO of Twitter and Square follows Steve Comisar. Love him or hate him, Steve's brute determination in getting a second chance is exactly what it takes to make it in Hollywood and worthy of help from the industry."

Comisar began acting at a very young age and has appeared in dozens movies, television shows, and commercials. He will be released from prison in a few months and is hoping to jump start his acting career in Los Angeles with the help of the A-List actors, directors, producers, and agents he has asked for assistance.

Other celebrity felons who got a second chance after serving prison time are Mark Wahlberg, Tim Allen, Robert Downey Jr, Wesley Snipes, Martha Stewart, Christian Slater, and Danny Trejo.

Phil Hall’s The Bootleg Files Returns on Cinema Crazed After a Two-Year Hiatus

NEW YORK, N.Y /ScoopCloud/ -- The Bootleg Files, Phil Hall's celebrated weekly column focusing on classic and offbeat films and television productions that can only be accessed through unauthorized reproductions, is returning to the Internet after a two-year absence. The first new column will be published on Friday, February 10, on Cinema Crazed (www.cinema-crazed.com).

The Bootleg Files column was introduced on Film Threat in 2003 and ran every Friday until the site went offline in 2015. Over the years, the column gained attention for its insightful and colorful consideration of entertainment history, and many columns were cited in books, magazines and online articles. When Film Threat recently relaunched without The Bootleg Files, Cinema Crazed welcomed the opportunity to bring back this popular feature under its editorial banner.

"I am thrilled to bring back The Bootleg Files at Cinema Crazed, which is the perfect site for this distinctive column," said Phil Hall. "After a two-year rest, I am ready to return with a new slate of columns that will track down classic and kooky works that are not available in any commercial home entertainment format and can only be seen in bootlegged videos or pirated online video postings.

"There is an extraordinary volume of movies and TV offerings that remain in the public eye only because of the so-called grey market. Of course, this column stresses that bootlegging copyrighted material is against the law - but watching this material online or on a collector-to-collector DVD is legal, and The Bootleg Files acknowledges the wealth of historically and artistically significant works available through these channels."

Phil Hall is also the host of "The Online Movie Show with Phil Hall" (www.soundcloud.com/onlinemovieshow) and the author of critically-acclaimed film history books including "The Greatest Bad Movies of All Time" and "In Search of Lost Films." His cinema-related writing has been published in The New York Times, New York Daily News, Wired and on the Library of Congress' National Film Registry website.

Cinema Crazed is the New York-based online resource devoted to coverage of contemporary and classic independent cinema, cult movies and the intersection of motion pictures and pop culture. Founded and published by Felix Vasquez Jr., the site is online at www.cinema-crazed.com.

Taxpayers Ask Tax Pros to Bid to Solve Their IRS Problems

CORAL SPRINGS, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- It's a common problem. In fact, approximately 13 million taxpayers are haunted by IRS issues that they want to solve, but are too bombarded with information to know where to turn. In short, they're overwhelmed. FeeAuction.com helps to alleviate that stress. It's a user-friendly website and new marketing technology that connects concerned taxpayers anonymously with multiple, licensed tax professionals.

"FeeAuction is like Uber for the tax resolution industry," Jaime S. Buchwald, CPA and CEO of Negotiation Technologies LLC, creators of FeeAuction.com, says. "Our service is two-fold. It helps taxpayers with IRS problems to anonymously find a tax professional and it helps qualified tax professionals expand their practice."

Here's how it works: Taxpayers visit FeeAuction.com and answer a few simple questions that give insight into their specific problem. For example, perhaps they've failed to file their taxes for the past several years, can't pay what's owed or maybe they're being audited. Whatever the case, having told their story only once, this information reaches multiple credentialed tax resolution professionals who will carefully review and evaluate the details, and bid on the case if they're confident it's something they can resolve.

In turn, the taxpayer anonymously reviews the fee bids and solutions. They can read the bidder's profiles, visit their websites and really get a feel for who has the best solution and fee that makes the most sense to them. It's not until the taxpayer has decided on a bid that their contact information will be shared with that specific tax professional. However, the taxpayer is under no obligation to choose any of them.

"Taxpayers love it because they only have to tell their story once," Buchwald says. "They don't have to make multiple phone calls or in-person visits to numerous tax pros and repeat their story over and over again."

FeeAuction.com is all about transparency. Troubled taxpayers already have enough stress; constantly worrying about a wage garnishment, bank levy, a tax lien and general embarrassment about their IRS issues. This unique service puts them in control and ensures that they get the right solution, connected with the right professional, and without worrying about paying too much in fees.

So, for taxpayers who want to start sleeping at night again and for tax professionals who want to build their client base, FeeAuction.com provides the perfect platform for both.

The founders of FeeAuction.com, Negotiation Technologies LLC, are no strangers to the tax resolution industry. They also own PitBullTax.com, the industry leader in tax resolution software for attorneys, CPAs and Enrolled Agents.

For more information, visit: https://feeauction.com/. There are two videos that clearly explain how FeeAuction works for the taxpayer and the tax professional.

Real Estate and Paint launches Networking site for Homeowners, Agents and Contractors

DANVILLE, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- It was out of necessity that Tom Gore from Thomas Realty Pros learned to market his real estate business. His new website reflects that experience. Tom helps consumers find the best real estate agents with his newly created Real Estate and Paint networking platform. It started with Tom getting his real estate license right before the crash of 2008. That fact necessitated originality when it came to marketing his business. Tom was new to the real estate sales business and needed clients to list their For Sale properties with him.

Having come from a background in home improvement Tom decided to add extra value to his real estate service by freely painting the homes he listed. The results were amazing because he sold houses more quickly and for more money. His business grew, 98 A+ reviews on Angie's List, and he survived as a new agent in one of the toughest real estate markets in years. As the market improved Tom never wanted to lower the standard of service that he was providing to his clients, so he continued to over perform. Today he is launching a free service to help other real estate agents and brokers do the same.

The site is http://www.realestateandpaint.com/ and it could have an impact on the future of real estate industry when consumers come to expect this added value.

The Networking site is designed to connect Home Owners looking to sell or list property and agents who want to provide an added free service.

Tom Gore, of Thomas Realty Pros/Excel Realty, is both a real estate agent and a licensed CA Paint Contractor. It is not unusual for Contractors and other people who do home improvement work to dabble in real estate. Often Contractors work with Real Estate Agents offering to make home repairs and later be compensated for their work when the home eventually sells, but there is nowhere for sellers to turn to find agents and brokers willing to do this service for free, until now.

The Real Estate and Paint site is allowing Home Owners, Agents and Contractors to connect in cyber space free of charge. Tom is building a network for consumers to reach agents and for agents to get new clients/listings.

Tom said, "I decided to allow home improvement Contractors and Real Estate Agents willing to do more, both of whom are licensed by their States, to list on the website because it is more added value for the consumer. My whole career has been based on giving superior service." He continued explaining the network is an extension of his worth ethic, "The listings will be done by on a State-by-State basis with people and services listed in an alphabetical order."

"New clients mostly come from word-of-mouth referrals and I am starting to get calls outside of the Bay Area. Recently, I received a referral request from outside the State. It was that call that made me realize I needed to create the Network to see my idea grow beyond me." Tom believes that his approach of being an 'added value' agent is desired by consumers across the country. "My goal is to bring agents and home sellers together while providing a platform for contractors to reach these two groups as well to offer their services."

Tom imagines his Network continuing as a free service for years the way Craigslist started. This is a way to market my services and help other agent/brokers develop their businesses as well. Tom does a variety of marketing to get new clients, but claims most clients are sold on his added value proposition of their house being painted after listing. Statistics bear out that fact that newly pained homes sell faster and for more money.

Tom is currently holding a drawing for people in his area at http://www.thomasrealtyproscontest.gr8.com/ and does a variety of other unique marketing ideas he'll share with Agents and Brokers who join his free Network. The drawing is for July 4th. It is a paint your house for free contest to help spread the word about his services in the East Bay. "I always go that extra mile for my clients and want to network with people around the country that do the same for their clients."

Kazzit Announces Highest Quarterly Usership Growth to Date

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Kazzit, the wine industry's most all-inclusive online community, has announced a bullish end of the year in terms of company growth. The fourth quarter of 2016 showed a 30 percent increase in unique visitors over Q3, and a 400 percent increase over the previous year. These results were fueled by a recently refreshed design, enhanced content and search capabilities, the launch of the Kazzit mobile app, and international expansion into 17 new countries.

In just three months, Kazzit has surpassed its established competitors in traffic and engagement according to global website rankings (*see NOTE 1). With over 50K unique users and 124K page views per month, Kazzit is now ranked at 342K globally, with a domestic ranking of 68K in the United States - a major feat for a wine-tourism website.

Still 100 percent free to consumers, wine lovers and curious epicurean travelers use Kazzit's dynamic search capability to seek out specific wineries, discover new ones based on region or preferences (i.e., wineries that specialize in specific varieties or styles), and also to find the perfect winery setting for events like weddings, corporate retreats, and educational seminars.

This micro-level of personalization to consumer search demand has positioned Kazzit as a leader in wine consumer data - a benefit that Kazzit's winery partners are beginning to capitalize on at a B2B level. Aside from the user reviews, Kazzit's elastic, open-ended search capabilities have unlocked an unprecedented amount of data that partner wineries can access; for example, the trendiest wine style in the month of September, the most popular types of winery events in the Finger Lakes, the demographic most likely to seek out white wine in winter, or the most searched wine regions overall. Founder Babak Motamedi has plans to publish some of this data in a regular quarterly industry report launching in 2017.

No single platform has ever had access to this level of micro-data in the wine industry, and Kazzit is thus poised to take wine marketing to the next level, as boutique wineries find themselves now capable of unlocking a new level of exposure and engagement never before seen. Kazzit's recently launched mobile app has helped facilitate more spontaneous searching on-the-go, and wineries can also now capitalize, publishing timely deals directly to the platform and utilizing Kazzit as a marketing partner arm to help opportunistically attract potential customers nearby.

Since its soft-launch in 2014, Kazzit now has a database of over 10,000 wineries (over 9,000 more than its closest competitor) across North & South America, Europe, Africa and Australia, and surpassed 60,000 unique users last month (adding 600+ per day on average). With its 92/100 Google experience ranking, wine lovers and industry insiders alike are drawn to Kazzit for its ease of use, online reservation system, detailed winery information and reviews, and educational wine blog, written by sommeliers, which is updated almost daily.

Since 2014, the average organic visitor to Kazzit spends over 4 minutes and 7 seconds on the site (58 seconds is the standard), with a return rate of 30-40 percent. Return users average 11.5 minutes on return visits, clicking an average of 8.6 pages deep reading about wineries (a huge number by any digital marketing standard).

About Kazzit:
Kazzit stands out as the world's most comprehensive online winery resource, serving as the ultimate all-inclusive online community, connecting wineries, vineyards, restaurateurs, collectors, sales people and enthusiasts, and helping them share services, products, experiences and consumer applications. Kazzit helps wineries connect with both trade and consumers by providing comprehensive winery profiles, winery ratings, photo galleries, maps, real-time social media updates, upcoming winery events and a means to book wine tastings and plan wine trips all in one place.

The brainchild of Phoenix restaurateur Peter Kasperski and serial entrepreneur Babak Motamedi, Kazzit was founded in February 2014 after the two wine-loving friends grew frustrated at the lack of comprehensive travel planning sites specifically built for wine tourism. The name Kazzit pays tribute to the friendship between founders Motamedi & Kasperski, which had its genesis at Kazimierz Wine Bar near what would become Kazzit's headquarters in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Millbrae School District Expands Synergy Solution to Include Online Registration and Assessment

MILLBRAE, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Edupoint(R) Educational Systems, creator of the industry-leading Synergy(R) Education Platform for K-12 student information and learning management, has been selected by Millbrae School District (MSD) to implement the company's Synergy Online Registration and Synergy Assessment solutions, and the Inspect(R) Item Bank from Key Data Systems that works seamlessly with Synergy Assessment. MSD is located in San Mateo County in the San Francisco Bay Area.

These modules will augment the district's current implementation of Synergy Education Platform, which includes Synergy Student Information System, Master Schedule Builder, the ParentVUE(R) and StudentVUE(R) web portals and mobile apps, and the TeacherVUE(R) Portal with gradebook. All Synergy modules are fully integrated across the platform and provide real-time information to stakeholders.

"Synergy Online Registration is going to help with accuracy and save us a lot of time," said Frank Lagomarsino, Technology Specialist for MSD. "It will help with our workflow tremendously to have parents and guardians enter the registration information online rather than having our staff input the data manually from hand-written forms. Synergy Assessment, with the Inspect Item Bank, will allow increased control and more choices than the system we previously used to manage assessment data. Furthermore, the Item Bank will help us get up and running sooner than past years. Previously, our students were taking tests on bubble sheets and teachers had to enter each student's score manually into our system. Now students will be taking assessments within the StudentVUE portal and the scores will automatically show up in their teacher's gradebook. The process will be much more streamlined as a result."

"We are pleased to provide these additional Synergy modules to Millbrae School District," said Bob Weathers, Founder & CEO of Edupoint. "With Synergy Online Registration, Synergy Assessment, and the Inspect Item Bank, Millbrae will benefit not only from the greater ease of use that comes with simplified processes, but also from the full integration that enables data to flow seamlessly and in real time between Synergy Education Platform modules from where it is entered to where it needs to go. We look forward to our continued partnership with Millbrae."

About Edupoint Educational Systems:

For over thirty years, the leadership of Edupoint Educational Systems has provided well-designed, technologically-advanced student data management systems that empower all K-12 stakeholders with the tools they need to improve student achievement. The fully-integrated Synergy(R) Education Platform includes Synergy(R) SIS, the most powerful K-12 student information system available today, Synergy(R) LMS, an all-in-one learning and assessment platform, and Synergy(R) SE, a comprehensive special education data management system. Thousands of schools nationwide choose the Synergy Education Platform to support more than 3.5 million students.

Tommy Wiseau’s ‘The Room’ Named Worst Film Ever by FilmSnobbery Survey of Cinema Experts

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- With Thanksgiving on the near horizon, FilmSnobbery decided to serve up another type of turkey: in this case, the cinematic variety, with a seasonal celebration of the worst films of all time. And in a survey of approximately 100 filmmakers, critics, historians and performers, the choice for the worst film of all time went to Tommy Wiseau's utterly astonishing 2003 production "The Room."

"In the history of motion pictures, there is nothing like Tommy Wiseau's anti-classic," declared Phil Hall, managing editor at FilmSnobbery.com and author of the books "The Greatest Bad Movies of All Time" and "In Search in Lost Films."

"From the visceral ineptitude of the acting to the utter incoherence of the screenplay to a lethal assault of bizarre imagery to Wiseau's brilliantly ridiculous on-screen persona, 'The Room' takes the cake and the whole bakery, too! It doesn't get better - or badder - than this!"

For the Top 10 Worst Films of All Time, the FilmSnobbery survey came up with these delicious big screen turkeys:

1. "The Room" (2003)
2. "Battlefield Earth" (2000)
3. "Birdemic: Shock and Terror" (2010)
4. "Swept Away" (2002 - the Madonna remake)
5. "Manos: The Hands of Fate" (1966)
6. "Troll 2" (1990)
7. "Howard the Duck" (1986)
8. "Catwoman" (2004)
9. "Plan 9 from Outer Space" (1959)
10. "Sausage Party" (2016).

The complete list of the FilmSnobbery survey of worst films is available at http://filmsnobbery.com/.
