David Copperfield Performing Special Benefit Show for Kids of Courage

LAS VEGAS, Nev. /ScoopCloud/ -- Kids of Courage, a medically-supervised travel program for seriously sick children and young adults, is currently in Las Vegas for their annual summer adventure. The unique non-for-profit program provides adaptive activities and events for individuals with life-threatening illnesses and serious disabilities. The current group consists of 120 medically-fragile campers from all over North America, accompanied by volunteer physicians, nurses, paramedics, emergency medical technicians, and caretaker counselors.

World-renowned illusionist David Copperfield, in partnership with the MGM Grand, is conducting a benefit performance, completely free of charge, for the visiting group on Tuesday, August 7, 2018 at 4 p.m. PDT at The David Copperfield Theater at MGM Grand Hotel and Casino.

Mr. Copperfield has a long history of supporting organizations that improve the lives of children and young adults with disabilities. The ground-breaking performer founded Project Magic, an innovative program that uses magic as a form of therapy for people with physical, psychological, and social disabilities.

Kids of Courage participants have a wide variety of serious illnesses and disabilities, including childhood cancers; muscular dystrophy; childhood strokes; pre- and post-heart, -liver, and -lung transplants; brain tumors; quadriplegia with ventilator dependence; spina bifida and cerebral palsy.

Many of the so-called "Couragers" are struggling with life-threatening situations. Participation in the program gives them unique skill sets for independence and leaves their parents at home to recover from the daily stresses of their care.

About Kids of Courage:

New Nanopen Offers Safer, More Effective, And Less Costly Alternative to Micro-Needling and Other Abrasion Therapies

LAS VEGAS, Nev. /ScoopCloud/ -- Micro-needling has become one of the more popular skin care procedures across the globe; however increasing concern over misuse and other risks threaten to dampen its use. But a new product from Skin Moderne debuting at the 2018 International Esthetics, Cosmetics & Spa Conference, promises to deliver all of the benefits of micro-needling without any of the risks.

The Nanopen, sold by Skin Moderne to estheticians, dermatologists, and plastic surgeons, is a handheld cosmetic skin permeation device that, like micro-needling, causes 'micro injuries' which in turn triggers biological wound healing. However, the Nanopen uses much smaller needles made from pharmaceutical grade mono-crystalline silicon, thus creating smaller holes that do not cause bleeding and infection like the standard stainless steel needles on existing micro-needling rollers, pens, or machines.

"Micro-needling can be dangerous, if skin permeation is too deep, the dermal layer may be damaged, control of the release rate imprecise, and one risks pain, infection, and potentially toxic side effects. If permeation is too shallow, the thin but tough stratum corneum of the skin will keep out the desired skincare ingredients," said Richard Purvis, founder and CEO of Skin Moderne Inc.

"We believed a better solution was needed for safety and to improve the absorption rate of the serums that are such an important part of the process. We wanted to ensure the correct amount of nutrients reaches the right place at the right speed at the right time, using the right method. So, the Nanopen was developed to do just that," said Purvis.

The Nanopen tip is attached to the motorized handpiece that carries no needles, but a stamp with microscopic silicone pyramids. For comparison: A normal hair has approximately a diameter of 80 microns. The silicon pyramids used here have a tip of less than 10 microns. This makes it possible to create microchannels in the epidermis painlessly and without skin irritation or other side effects. The absorption of the accompanying serums through the skin is increased by up to 5 times for about 20 minutes compared to a conventional treatment.

Furthermore, the Nanopen is a far more affordable option to other skin care equipment and systems, such as electroporation, ultrasound, and micro-needling. And because the Nanopen does not use needles, it is not subject to the any of the FDA or other legal restrictions associated with these other therapies.

For more information about the Nanopen, including details on ordering, please visit us at booth number 565 at the Las Vegas IECSC show, June 23-25, or on our website: https://www.skinmoderne.com/.

Eberhard & Co. at COUTURE-Time Las Vegas

LAS VEGAS, Nev. /ScoopCloud/ -- Eberhard & Co. and Beaugeste Luxury Brands - the Brand's agent and representative in the United States - will participate in the next edition of Couture-Time Las Vegas, the great exhibition hosting the most important luxury watch brands and America's top retail community, in an exclusive and luxurious setting.

On this occasion the Swiss Maison will present the 2018 novelties - a special preview for the U.S. market - and a selection of its iconic collections.

First of all the new Nuvolari Legend that enriches the Tazio Nuvolari Collection dedicated the the greatest car racing myth of all times, the champion Tazio Nuvolari who dominated the decades between 1920 and the late forties, a man who became a legend. The new chronograph seeks to celebrate the sporty essence of this great driver, consecrating him among those who will never be forgotten.

Nuvolari Legend is an automatic timepiece with a steel case, available in two sizes: 39.5 mm and 43 mm in the Grande Taille version. The model is water resistant up to a depth of 30m. and features a black dial with luminescent Arabic numerals, a minutes counter at 12 o'clock, an hours counter at 6 o'clock and a spiral tachometer scale in km/hr in the centre. The movement can be admired through the transparent sapphire crystal base, which is secured by eight screws and customised with name of the model and the historic stylised Alfa Romeo Type 12C in which the great driver obtained many victories. The matching antiqued leather strap enhances the "vintage" look of the new timepiece.

The visitors will also have the possibility to discover the new proposals added to the Scafograf Collection: Scafograf GMT "The Black Sheep" Limited Edition and Scafograf 100. After the success of the Scafograf 300, first presented in 2016 and winner of the "Sports Watch Prize" at the prestigious Geneva Grand Prix d'Horlogerie, followed by last year's GMT version, Eberhard & Co. has chosen to make the "Scafograf" even more captivating and exclusive with a special limited edition, the name of which conveys all the unconventional spirit of the new model: THE BLACK SHEEP.

Dedicated to the gentleman who loves to express his personality and remain ever faithful to his values, with all the determination of one who knows to be different by nature. When being a "black sheep" means having tons of charisma and personality.

The Scafograf GMT "The Black Sheep" will be produced in 500 totally black look specimens animated by an automatic movement with a triple time zone function. Black dominates, starting from the 43mm steel case with its DLC(r) treatment, which provides this model with a decidedly sporting allure. The dial and two-way rotating bezel with ceramic insert and luminescent indices are also in black. The orange of the GMT hand and GMT lettering stand out proudly against the dial.

Eberhard & Co. is now expanding the Scafograf collection also with a more feminine version, a new model dedicated to the sporty, dynamic and sophisticated woman: Scafograf 100, animated by an automatic movement in a 38 mm steel case with a polished, satin finish. Water-resistant to 100 m, the model has a ceramic 3D bezel with s a faceted finish and a relief effect, in a white or chocolate colour matching the two mother-of-pearl dial versions on which luminescent applied markers stand out.

Available with a white or chocolate integrated rubber strap or a steel Chassis(r) bracelet, the Scafograf 100 is being introduced as an unprecedented, all-Female product, dedicated to the strength and multifaceted personality of contemporary women.

Finally Eberhard & Co. will display also some of its most representative collections: among the best-sellers the classic 8 Jours, as well as the Extra-fort, the Chrono 4, the Tazio Nuvolari and the Gilda collection, expressions of the Swiss Maison's constant innovative spirit and sensibility towards man's evolution in his own time.

A journey through the Eberhard & Co. time!

Republican Candidate for Clark County Commissioner District F Says Democrats Insert RINO Republican into Race

LAS VEGAS, Nev. /ScoopCloud/ -- Mitchell T. Tracy, Republican candidate for Clark County Commissioner District F is fed up. He says that Tisha Black, a Harry Reid Democrat, is running on the Republican Party ticket, but she's a 'never Trump Republican' who is going up against him, an authentic pro Trump, Reagan conservative.

The Clark County Commissioner District F in Clark County, Nevada is now an open seat because the incumbent's term is over. Tracy says that he lost to the incumbent in the 2014 general election by only 2737 votes 49 percent to 44 percent.

"Reid and the Democrats want to make sure they don't lose this seat which is why they've inserted Black to run," Tracy says.

According to Tracy, Black has supported and voted for Democrats over the last 17 years, including giving Harry Reid's U.S. Senate Campaign $2,000 in 2001 and $5,000 to U.S. Senate Catherine Cortez Mastro in 2016.

"It just makes sense to have a real Republican in this position," Tracy says.

Since he was 18, Tracy has been a registered Republican. He joined the Orange County Young Republicans at 22 and has owned a small business - a limousine service. And, he's donated limousine services to the Orange County Young Republican group as well as to the Make-A-Wish-Foundation.

Since moving to Clark County in 1999, he's been involved with "We the People" of District F and has contributed to the community through charity work and neighborhood watches. Curious about the community at large, he's also done a ride-along with the Las Vegas Metro Police Department and visited local fire stations to talk with fire fighters about issues they face.

Tracy has never and will never support a Democrat.

"I'm a Pro Trump supporter, Reagan conservative, Tea Party supporter, anti-establishment, anti-elitist, 'America First' candidate," he says. "I'm also the only U.S. military veteran running for this seat," he says.

If elected, Tracy will work to get more police officers on the street and to improve response times. He will also work to lower property taxes and sales taxes, bring more jobs into the area, and get free parking for local residents at casinos.

Tracy says that President Trump needs Clark County to go Red for 2020. They don't need a RINO.

"Black is going to do and say anything and everything she can to win this race," Tracy says. "Meanwhile, more than 80 percent of her campaign contributions have come from Reid contributors. Don't let Reid and the Democrats win. Small government 'for the people,' that's what I'm all about."

Retired Las Vegas 911 Dispatcher Turns Successful Realtor and Pays it Forward in K-9 Community

HENDERSON, Nev. /ScoopCloud/ -- The Bentley Realty Group is proud to make the North Las Vegas Police Department's (NLVPD) K-9 unit its community partner. It's pledged to donate $100 from every real estate transaction that it closes. In October, it started out by donating $2,800 to account for all the deals made prior to the partnership.

After Erika Bentley retired from being a 911 dispatcher she launched a new career in 2016 - real estate. She and her partner, John Kelley, decided to give back to the community when her real estate business started to take off. In 2017, alone, Bentley did $10 million in sales and within 16 months she was named one of the top 10 agents in the Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices franchise for the state of Nevada.

"That's a really impressive number for someone just starting out," Kelley says. "She picked it up quickly and is just great at what she does."

Bentley's experience working in the community helped her to develop relationships with groups like the police and fire departments. As a result, she has developed a niche in the real estate market and does a great deal of business with these entities.

So, when the time came for her to give back, she decided a partnership with the NLVPD would align well with her business.

"It's also one of the smallest in the area, so our support has been welcomed," Kelley says.

Sgt. Scott Salkoff of the NLVPD said that when Erika reached out to them they were thrilled. "The donation will be used to benefit the overall health, safety and training of our police dogs and will go towards items for eye and hearing protection as well as medical costs. Erika's generous donation will go a long way to help keep our canine partners comfortable and safe."

So, what's in store for 2018?

"We're planning to add more staff and will continue to find houses that people can call home," Kelley says. "We're working to build the best Las Vegas real estate team out there while giving back to the community we care about."

Andrew and his team of trainers will be demonstrating exercises and movements derived from their education and programming at Booth #525 on an ongoing basis during Trade Show hours.

Legends Football League and Team Canada Athlete, Amanda Ruller will hold demonstrations during show hours as well.

Attendees will receive 15 percent off plus free shipping on all MostFit products at the MostFit booth, and for those not able to attend the show, this discount will be extended to online orders.

"The traction our products are gaining among esteemed fitness professionals and athletes is exhilarating and humbling, and this opportunity to gain even more visibility at the industry's largest event of the year is going to be awesome. We are so thrilled to be part of this," says Andrew.

MostFit products include:

The MostFit Core Hammer is a first of its kind, finally making sledgehammer workouts possible without the tire. The Core Hammer is designed just like a sledgehammer, but the head is round and composed of solid urethan, providing the right amount of rebound so the user can establish a rhythm that exactly mimics traditional sledgehammer swings. This means that sledgehammer workouts can now be done anywhere...in a park, gym, Crossfit box or at home and multiple users can workout together in small spaces with the Core Hammer, which fits in nicely with MostFit's mantra of helping the user be the "Most Fit" they can be - anywhere, any time.

The MostFit SYN Rings allow the user to suspend weight plates or kettlebells from an Olympic weightlifting bar creating instability; forcing the user to engage more core and stability muscles and increase overall strength. The rings allow the weight plates to move in all directions, including forward, back, side-to-side, up-and-down and in circular motions. Portable and easy to store, the SYN Rings can go with you anywhere, fit in a drawer or small spot on the functional training zone floor.

The Second Spirit Releases Debut EP ‘Modern Life’ – Dream Saturated Indie Rock Electronica

LAS VEGAS, Nev. /ScoopCloud/ -- The Second Spirit, an indie rock project, just released its debut EP, "Modern Life," a five-song album, and its first single, "Rescue Car," which personifies the physicality of love through a retro vibe, rock and roll groove and cool, fuzzy guitar leads.

"Since it's my first album, I wanted to demonstrate my broad range of influences," Matthew Victory Warren, songwriter, producer and busker says. "The album can't be characterized by one category. I combined songs that fit into different genres. For example, 'Rescue Car' is more garage post rock; 'Modern Life' is more Glam Dreampop Electronica, and others have more of a folk influence."

Part psychedelic, part post-rock, the album's most cinematic side is filled with lush and memorable sonic backdrops that add a sense of depth and emotion to the tracks. On the flip side it gains immediacy and energy from earnest rock and roll influences, hinting at genres as diverse as garage, post-punk and alternative. It steps into Dreampop and Shoegaze genres too.

Victory sings and plays guitar on all the songs. Other album contributors include Leigh Sogoloff, Justin Stills, Lance Miller, Jeff Johnson, Vinnie Castaldo and Joey Hennigan.

To fund his love of music, Victory once sold peanut butter and jelly sandwiches from his window with a pulley basket and pull chain bell. Since then, he's discovered his compositional identity and now embraces his love for classic song-writing, alternative rock and dream-pop, and emphasizes the textural quality of the music as well as the melodic and lyrical components of it.

He says he's been influenced by and collaborated with numerous peers, including producer, Phutureprimitive, downtempo project, Snout Music, rapper, Dey La Magia, and artist, Alex Higgins of Alex and His Meal Ticket.

Victory can often be found playing songs on his pulsating, blue, electroluminescent guitar in the streets of Las Vegas. His clever songwriting and performance ideas simply make people smile.
