Indie-rock Singer-Songwriter Ryan Chernin, Whose Debut Single Rocketed Up the Hot AC Charts, Releases Edgy New Single, ‘FaceTime’

NEW YORK, N.Y. /ScoopCloud/ -- Indie-rock singer-songwriter Ryan Chernin, whose debut single, "Look Right," rocketed up to 25 on Mediabase's AC Chart, just under Ariana Grande's "breathin," has just released an edgy new single, "FaceTime." His debut single also climbed to 24 on Digital Radio Tracker's Top 150. These two chart-notching achievements for the 25-year-old musician are almost unheard-of for a new indie artist and intimate the likelihood of another remarkable success for "FaceTime."

The moving new release should resonate with a large audience

It tells of a young man who longs for FaceTime with a woman he loves, but when he is finally face to face with her, he finds himself with the crushing realization that he is at a loss for words.

"FaceTime" features Ryan's virtuosic guitar playing, which goes beyond familiar riffs to provide inventive melodic lines and a biting accompaniment to his dynamic pop-rock vocal.

Both songs are taken from his meticulously crafted debut album

Chernin's first chart-climbing song and promising new release are both taken from his striking debut album, "You Know Who You Are," an evocative collection of daringly introspective songs about the uncertainties and questions we all experience in love and loss. The captivating storytelling and deeply felt observations are presented in Chernin's distinctive stylistic blend of folk music inspired by the signature sounds of the 60s and 70s and by contemporary indie rock.

The songs are punctuated with unpredictable excursions and insights reminiscent of Paul Simon in such classic songs as "The Sounds of Silence."

Ryan explained the meticulous work that went into the debut album: "What was most important to us was to take our time with it and really make sure it was perfect every step of the way. It was about selecting the right people." The right people embraced producer John Eugenio, Chris Davies doing the mixing, and fellow guitarist Jared Scharff from SNL.

Virtuosic guitar playing and an inviting pop-rock vocal style

Chernin's commanding singing voice and guitar wizardry weaves perfectly with the raw insight of his lyrics, which span the emotional spectrum from dark self-reflection to danceable celebrations. His inviting pop-rock vocal style demonstrates a stunning range, as he moves smoothly between his evocative falsetto and his sometimes soaring, sometimes almost ineffably expressive baritone.

The indie label Inhuman Records, which released his debut album and two singles from it, is a Brooklyn-based art collective founded by Ryan Chernin. It brings together talented friends and artists and explores their exciting opportunities to collaborate.

Chernin is a multi-faceted artist who, in the tradition of guitar virtuosos like Les Paul and Van Halen, designs and builds his own guitars and custom guitars by order. He recently refused payment for a custom guitar ordered by a California forest fireman for his son, instead gifting it to him to express appreciation for the selfless and dangerous work he and his fellow firefighters perform.

Listen to the touchingly eloquent and masterful folk-influenced pop-rock songs of Ryan Chernin.

Pretty Thing Launches Cheeky Anti-Conference for Creative Womxn

CHELSEA, N.Y. /ScoopCloud/ -- Pretty Thing founders, Sarah Hawkins, and Myah Hollis, have announced that their innovative "anti-conference" event series, entitled Pretty Thing Tour, will be launching in NYC on September 21 at Betaworks Studios in Chelsea, and will continue onto Los Angeles at The Riveter in Marina Del Rey in November.

Tour [and Pretty Thing] is on a mission to disrupt the traditional millennial conference model. The one-day-only event, is designed specifically for female-identifying creatives and entrepreneurs-complete with a brunch, a two-hour wrap party, intimate breakouts, panels, keynotes, and a devout focus on practical and unfiltered advice.

"Tour is a place to find creatives and entrepreneurs in an unapologetically womxn-centric environment, spill the tea, and level each other up," says Hawkins. "No pretense or stuffy vibes allowed."

"We designed Tour to be intimate, intentional, and inclusive. It's important to us that people leave with genuine connections and a literal list of things they can do the very next day to get them closer to where they want to be," describes Hollis.

"Our community isn't dumb. They know when they're being pandered to. The main feedback that we received from our flagship event in LA, the inspiration behind Tour, is that the attendees were surprised by how much they learned. They showed up and they took tedious notes and they went home and made sh*t happen. That needs to be the norm. It's only a matter of time before a cute aesthetic and a lineup of influencers isn't going to cut it anymore," continues Hollis.

Tickets for Pretty Thing Tour are available at https://www.prettythingstudios.com/registration and are $249 + processing fees. Remote access tickets for the evening keynote livestream are also available. Pretty Thing Tour 2019 is presented by Solow.

About Pretty Thing Tour 2019:

Tour was designed to be an inclusive experience catered to the full spectrum of creative careers, packed with keynotes, panels, and activations on TV + film, digital content, art, wellness, business, tech and more.

EyeBuyDirect Announces Chillhouse NYC Curated Collection to ‘Stay Chill in the Digital World’

NEW YORK, N.Y. /ScoopCloud/ -- EyeBuyDirect has partnered with the wellness experts at Chillhouse NYC to curate a collection of fashion forward eyewear that offers blue-light-blocking lenses to protect your eyes from the harmful effects of digital blue light.

"Digital screens are major sources of blue light, specifically the kind of blue light our bodies use to regulate sleep. So, whenever we use our digital devices, especially late into the night, we're actually telling our brains to keep our bodies awake," said Caroline Dubreuil, Product Marketing Manager for EyeBuyDirect. "Research shows that wearing light-blocking glasses three to four hours before bedtime can lead to better and more restful sleep, which in turn keeps us healthy and productive."

Research also indicates long-term exposure to screen light can have some intense serious side effects: headaches, disorientation, and loss of sleep in the short term, and fatigue and eye health issues in the long term. Blue-light-blocking glasses can help keep your vision healthy and focused.

The Collection Story

The new Chillhouse-curated collection from EyeBuyDirect features trend-forward shapes and lustrous colors that make wearing blue-light-blocking eyewear a pleasure. The collection combines the latest technology with the latest styles to "Stay Chill in the Digital World."

"We opened Chillhouse to be a destination for modern self-care, and we have built our business and our lifestyle brand on how to practice self-care every day," said Cyndi Ramirez-Fulton, Founder of Chillhouse. "Recently, we started hearing more about the harmful effects of blue light. We are, in part, a digital company, but there's a reason people warn against too much screen time - research indicates it could be bad for your eyes and your overall wellness. Thanks to EyeBuyDirect, Team Chill got to try some blue-light-blocking lenses for ourselves and we were blown away. We were less tired, had fewer headaches and felt better overall."

"That's why we were eager to partner with EyeBuyDirect to curate and launch this collection of fashion-forward frames with blue-light-blocking lenses," continued Ramirez-Fulton. "We selected frames that made us feel calm, cool and collected. Plus, they're super affordable, so everyone can enjoy the benefits of blue-light protection."

"We are thrilled to announce our collaboration with Chillhouse," said Sunny Jiang, Chief Executive Officer of EyeBuyDirect. "Their mission for modern self-care aligns beautifully with our mission of eye care for everyone, making fashionable eyewear affordable."

EBDBLUE and SightRelax lenses can be ordered with any of the frames at EyeBuyDirect.com and include scratch-resistant and anti-glare coatings and UV protection. SightRelax lenses also feature reading-enhancement technology. All frames on the site are available for prescription and non-prescription lenses.

Exploring Black and Afro-Latinx female identity with RESPECT: gallery exhibition, workshops, and discussions

BRONX, N.Y. /ScoopCloud/ -- The Casita Maria Center for Arts & Education is delighted to announce the opening of "RESPECT," an exhibition celebrating Black and Afro-Latinx womanhood. The art gallery exhibition and related public programs comprise the Fall season of "CelebrARTE," Casita Maria's arts and culture event series celebrating the South Bronx community and the art it has inspired.

"RESPECT" is a multimedia exhibition that features New York-based artists Timothy Okamura, Jessica Spence, and Nichole Washington. Like much of the art displayed at Casita Maria, the exhibition examines a belief about or within the community -- here, that beauty diminishes as skin tones become darker or hair becomes kinkier -- and turns it on its head, with powerful depictions of Black women respecting themselves and loving each other.

Each artist celebrates Black womanhood in their signature style. Okamura combines his 'realist' paintings of figures with details rendered in collage, spray paint and mixed media. The exhibition will include work he created from photographs of four Casita Maria after-school program participants as well as giclee prints from his Begin Transmission and Urban Portraits series.

Jessica Spence's acrylic paintings examine Black womanhood and societal beauty ideals, focusing on the beauty and versatility of Black hair. She will also participate in a panel discussion on the politics of hair and teach a workshop on her collage methods on Saturday, September 21.

Nichole Washington's bold and imaginative works explore feminine strength, identity, and spirituality through both photography and paint. Her strong use of design, layered with symbols and expressive brush strokes, creates a multidimensional space that allows room for nuance. For anyone interested in how she creates her engaging visuals, Ms. Washington will teach a workshop on symbol-making on Saturday, October 5.

Through CelebrARTE and other public programs, Casita Maria has become a premier location for the arts and culture of the South Bronx. Creative Arts Director Gail Heidel says, "Casita Maria is a safe, welcoming space that celebrates cultural pride and honors the communities we serve by creating a resilient ecosystem of self-expression, creativity and education. Seeing themselves and their families reflected in the art we present, neighborhood youth build self-esteem and pride in themselves and their communities. Our programming and the artists we showcase are a testament to the transformative power of the arts."

NEW YORK, N.Y. /ScoopCloud/ -- Ever wondered who's behind the camera when scrolling through influencers' Instagram feeds?

DUMBO & Brooklyn Bridge - The number one most requested location for influencer Instagram photos is Washington Street in DUMBO, combined with The Brooklyn Bridge.

"I always arrange to shoot DUMBO and The Brooklyn Bridge just after sunrise to avoid the masses of tourists lining up for photos. Washington St. is always popular with bridal shoots and fashion shoots, so don't be surprised if you have to stand and wait your turn," says Victoria Brewood, photographer at InfluencerPhotographer.com.

Top of The Rock - It may cost money to enter, but the Top of The Rock also offers one of the best views of the city. To snap the best photo, head straight to the outdoor observation deck and stand on the side facing south towards the Empire State building. Have a friend or photographer stand on uppermost deck to catch the perfect snap from above.

Bethesda Fountain - Covering 843 acres, Central Park is full of fantastic photo opportunities but the Bethesda Terrace Arcade is definitely not to be missed. Linking the mall to Bethesda fountain, the arcade boasts a stunning tiled ceiling and has great light for photography.

Grand Central Terminal - For that iconic New York City shot, influencers can't go wrong with a photo at Grand Central Terminal, one of the most beautiful train stations in the world. The best spot for photos is the staircase overlooking the Main Concourse.

28th street mural - There are tons of great murals all over Manhattan, Williamsburg and Bushwick. But ever since 28th street station re-opened, Instagrammers have been flocking to have their photo taken in front of the new floral mosaic "Roaming Underfoot" by Brooklyn-based artist Nancy Blum.

The Oculus - For influencers who like clean lines and light space in their photos, The Oculus at World Trade Center provides a striking, almost futuristic backdrop.

West Village - The leafy streets of the West Village are ideal for a neighbourhood feel, particularly the areas around Commerce Street and Cherry Lane Theater. "The restaurant 'While We Were Young' is also incredibly photogenic with its purple-colored cocktails, light interior and inspirational quotes," says Brewood.

SoHo - For fashion bloggers in need of "street-style" photographs, the cobbled streets of SoHo usually make for the best backdrops. Greene Street and NoMo SoHo's twinkling archway are the perfect place to strike a pose.

Flatiron - With its peculiar narrow wedge shape, the Flatiron building has always been an eye-catching structure for photographers. Photos are best from a lower angle in order to capture more of the building in your shot.

Vessel - Opened to the public in 2019, Vessel at Hudson Yards is quickly becoming one of NYC's most Instagrammed buildings. The company's controversial photo policy hit the headlines but that hasn't stopped visitors from snapping photos on the building's spiral staircase.

"New York City has so many great Instagram locations, from iconic landmarks to colourful murals and cute brownstones. Lots of people visit specific locations because they've seen them on Instagram and I enjoy being able to help influencers and Instagrammers get their perfect shot."

New Book Provides Professional and Personal Advice for Business-Minded Couples

NEW YORK, N.Y. /ScoopCloud/ -- A new book authored by Lionell Leaf, "Quality Time 101 Basic Journal: LEDGER" (ISBN: 978-1944385958), is the companion book to "Quality Time 101 Basic Journal: Amorous Amour Coupling Innuendos" (ISBN: 978-1944385668) and is designed to inspire couples to try new things: to act on ideas and to work together to develop something great.

Leaf, also known as L.A.M.E. 1 (Love and Making Expert) has created a new type of roadmap meant to make people think about what could be instead of what could have been.

Great ideas happen all the time, but how often is there real follow through? Most ideas never actually materialize. Having a thought is one thing, but bringing and producing it for market is another. "Quality Time 101 Basic Journal: LEDGER" inspires couples to act rather than let their ideas languish. It shares forms, ledgers and other important business resources to help couples get organized and to protect their business rights.

Its companion book, "Quality Time 101 Basic Journal: Amorous Amour Coupling Innuendos" helps couples to get closer on a more personal level which serves to help them plot and plan for future fortune.

These books not only address business wealth, but love wealth too. They're intended to change the way couples think when it comes to business and love.

"Couples will never think about amorous foreplay the same way - whether in or out of the bedroom," Leaf says. "These books will help them to achieve things they never thought possible. For example, that business idea could develop into a substantial piece of change and that could lead to a host of adventures that only serve to deepen the relationship at hand."

Leaf lays down some basic ground rules that serve to set the stage. For example, he suggests that couples should open a joint business account - but advises that the investments need to be equal. Unparalleled equity and equality for both.

"Savvy business-minded couples will benefit from these books in more ways than one," Leaf says.

Korean Food that Captivated New Yorkers! aT’s 2019 K-Food Fair Completed Successfully

NEW YORK, N.Y. /ScoopCloud/ -- The Korea Agro-Fisheries & Food Trade Corporation (aT, President Lee Byung-ho) successfully hosted the K-Food Fair 2019 at the Jacob K. Javitz Center in New York on July 6-7. The K-Food Fair was held in conjunction with the KCON Convention, organized by CJ ENM, which was attended by over 55,000 millennial and Generation Z fans of Korean culture.

The K-Food Fair booth, which was designed to introduce time-traveling experience to a traditional Korean village, had 30,000 visitors over the course of the convention. Having attracted much attention from overseas fans and KCON visitors, the various stalls at the K-Food Fair stimulated the senses of young New Yorkers and visitors alike.

The event was organized with the theme of "past, present, and future of Korean agri-food products." The traditional pavilion exhibited and sampled Korean agricultural and marine products such as snacks, ramen, and pears.

Also introduced were promising export items, such as omija and insect foods, that will hopefully continue the interest in Korean agricultural products. Finally, chefs from the world-leading Culinary Institute of America were able to re-create various dishes such as spicy pork and mealworm sliders.

In addition, Mike Chen, known to his 2.6 million YouTube subscribers as Strictly Dumpling, visited the Korean Pavilion and spent time enjoying rice cakes, kimbap, and traditional games.

Kim Kwang-jin, President of Korea Agro-Trade Center, New York, said, "Through the K-Food Fair Pavilion in New York, we were able to confirm the high interest of the millennial generation for K-Food.

"I expect if the millennial generation experience Korean food since childhood, they will eat and buy Korean food without hesitation even after they grown up."

He adds that he will continue to look for the best ways to promote Korean food for future generations to enjoy.

JaffaCares Safety Sunday @ Spring Creek Towers Aims to Break Social Barriers and Provide Invaluable Safety Content

BROOKLYN, N.Y. /ScoopCloud/ -- Jack Jaffa & Associates is partnering with Spring Creek Towers Department of Public Safety, the NYPD's 75th precinct, the FDNY Fire Prevention Bureau and prominent elected officials to bring safety awareness to the 15,000 residents of Starrett City on Sunday, August 4, 2019.

The goal of this extraordinary event is to bring critical, life-saving information and material to residents and to foster lasting, positive relationships between residents and law enforcement, which can only help bring even more safety, understanding and respect to our beautiful and diverse communities.

The day will include a variety of safety-focused initiatives, such as free bicycle helmet and stove safety knob distribution to SCT residents, plus safety presentations from the FDNY and NYPD, and bike registration through the 75th Precinct.

The highlight of the event will be a dynamic basketball match between law enforcement officers who will be coached by the youth of the Spring Creek Towers Teen Center, providing an unprecedented opportunity for community youth to interact with law enforcement from a reverse and amicable role. In today's challenging political environment, this initiative will be the catalyst to bring the awareness that we all need to create community, promote safety and foster love, understanding and peace.

Jaffa's raison d'etre has always been about caring and about safety and JaffaCares is the natural progression of taking the care Jaffa embodies and bringing that to the community and to the individual. Regarding previous JaffaCares initiatives, Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr. thanked Jaffa for "doing God's work" and Councilman Mark Gjonaj expressed his heartfelt sentiments to the press, "as you can see, Jack, you are making a difference in the lives of many."

This initiative promises to advance Jaffa's mission of safety and community and serve as a model of how our youth should interact with those in charge of providing for their safety.

Do I Need Travel Insurance for the 2019 Hurricane Season? TravelInsurance.com Provides Answers

NEW YORK, N.Y. /ScoopCloud/ -- With Tropical Storm Barry expected to become the first named hurricane of 2019, thus begins the storm season that will likely impact hundreds of thousands of travelers, according to TravelInsurance.com. The question many travelers have is "Will my travel plans be affected, and if so, how can I make sure I don't lose the hard-earned money I've invested in this vacation?"

In the hopes of demystifying travel insurance as it relates to tropical storms, TravelInsurance.com answers the most common questions related to travel during hurricane season:

Do I really need to purchase travel insurance just in case there is a hurricane?
Hurricanes, along with other types of storms and unpredictable weather, can and do frequently derail travel plans. If you are traveling from, or headed to, an area that is prone to hurricanes, purchasing travel insurance is a wise move if you want to protect your investment.

Will travel insurance cover me if my flight is delayed or cancelled in the event of a hurricane?
Yes. Trip cancellation coverage provides travelers reimbursement for their insured trip costs if they have to cancel prior to their departure date due to a covered reason. Most trip cancellation plans include coverage for unexpected natural disasters such as hurricanes if the event causes either an extended shutdown in carrier services or render the destination uninhabitable. Some travel insurance plans will even cover official hurricane warnings by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the agency that tracks and forecasts tropical storms and hurricanes.

Will travel insurance cover me if my trip is interrupted by a hurricane?
Yes. Trip interruption coverage will reimburse the unused, non-refundable portions of a trip if a traveler has to cancel and abandon a trip after it's already started. The covered reasons in a travel insurance plan for trip interruption are usually the same as the covered reasons for trip cancellation. Some plans will offer a coverage limit for trip interruption that's more than the amount insured under trip cancellation in order to account for any extra expenses incurred to get home early.

What if my destination is damaged during a storm, but it happens before I leave?
If your destination is made uninhabitable by a hurricane or other natural disaster, trip cancellation will provide coverage.

What if I am affected by a storm, but it does not turn into a named hurricane?
Any severe weather that prevents you from traveling to your destination or affects your ability to stay at your destination will likely be covered under the Trip Delay or Trip Cancellation benefits. This includes severe tropical or winter storms. But again, if the tropical or winter storm is named, it is no longer possible to purchase insurance to protect against it.

What if I am concerned about a storm, but the airline or cruise company has not cancelled service - can I get reimbursed if I decide to cancel?
This depends on the type of insurance you purchase and what your plan includes. For example, some plans offer trip cancellation coverage for hurricane warnings at your destination issued by NOAA, if the insurance is purchased before the storm is named. The other option is to purchase a Cancel For Any Reason (CFAR) upgrade, which allows the insured to cancel their trip for any reason. CFAR is typically only available as an option at the time the policy is purchased and requires the traveler to insure 100% of their pre-paid, non-refundable trip costs. And importantly, the traveler must purchase the policy within a set number of days (usually 7-21 days) of their initial trip payment date. With CFAR, either 50% or 75% of the trip costs will be reimbursed, depending on the plan selected.

When should I purchase travel insurance and how soon is it effective?
While a policy can be purchased up until the day before you depart, it's best to purchase travel insurance soon after making the first payment towards the trip. And most importantly the travel insurance should be purchased before a disruptive event happens. Some benefits and coverages are available only if you've purchased your policy within a short window, which typically ranges from 7-21 days from the date you make your initial payment. Time-sensitive benefits include CFAR and a Pre-existing Condition Exclusion Waiver. Travel insurance plans become effective on the day immediately after you purchase it.

How much does travel insurance cost?
There are several factors that go into the cost of an insurance plan, but typically travel insurance plans cost between 4% and 10% of the total trip costs. The biggest factors that affect the policy price are the age of travelers and the amount of trip costs.

"The most important thing to remember is to buy your travel insurance early and before a storm is named," said Stan Sandberg, co-founder of TravelInsurance.com. "Especially during the annual hurricane season from June to November, we recommend purchasing travel insurance immediately after making the first purchase toward your trip to make sure you are covered when that unexpected snafu happens."

A monologue starring actress and woman advocate Yubo Fernandez, "Late for Martinis" shows the struggle and unfairness in the acting business - it gives everything to some and nothing to others.

Actors don't quit the business; the business quits them. To survive emotionally and psychologically they need to earn a living and nourish their self-esteem or ego. Some are manipulated and abuse by powerful people in the industry while others choose to lower their instincts to get recognition, this often drive them to depression and toxic live styles.

Written and directed by talented Cuban Playwright, Screenwriter and Director Alejandro Normand, adapted to English language by Yubo Fernandez.

Today Yubo is an emerging multi-talented artist who's been recognized local and internationally for her work as an actress, producer and filmmaker.

In 2017 she visited Wheeler school to meet their sponsors who she called "angels" and gave thanks. She was nominated "Woman Of The Year" by a relevant newspaper in the Dominican Republic for her work as woman advocate. The actress started a #metoo kind of movement, being among the first announcing sexual harassment issues to her and other women in the industry.

Also, Fernandez is making the film documentary "Invisibles," which addresses sexual crimes in the Dominican Republic and other parts or the world like India, Brazil, Venezuela and London with real victims' testimonies, and interviews with actual condemned rapists.

Joe Iadanza’s third album ‘Common Man’ brings beloved 1970s singer-songwriter aesthetic into the 21st century

LONG ISLAND, N.Y. /ScoopCloud/ -- After a 6-year hiatus, Long Island-based singer/songwriter Joe Iadanza announced his return with the release of a 1970's inspired folk-rock love letter titled, "Common Man."

With words and music by Iadanza, "Common Man" is Joe's third studio album following his critically-acclaimed debut, "Traveling Salesman" (2008), and sophomore follow up, All in Good Time (2010), both of which resulted in extensive touring in the US and Europe.

"Music is the way I process the world. It's how I process the emotions that I feel - the happenings, the ups and downs, the good and the bad, and the love and the sorrows and the pain. I take that and I channel all of that emotion into music and song. Hopefully, I share that with you in a way so that it touches you, and so that you can feel it and how it relates to your own life," said Iadanza.

Born of Italian immigrants and union activists, Joe Iadanza understands the passionate struggle of the American dream. With a voice that recalls Cat Stevens and Harry Chapin, and songs that hearken to the impassioned storytelling of Springsteen and Leonard Cohen, this Long Island native's music is rooted in classic folk: honest and raw.

Joe Iadanza is hitting the road this summer to support "Common Man," including two full-band album-release shows: Thursday, August 15, 2019, 8 p.m. at The Loading Dock inside The Patchogue Theater, Patchogue, N.Y., and on Thursday, September 12, 7 p.m. at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 2 in NYC.

Advance tickets are available for both shows by visiting Iadanza's website at http://www.joeiadanza.com/.

"Common Man" is available to purchase now on CD, Vinyl, and can be heard streaming on all major platforms, including Spotify and Apple Music.

Summer Camp for Mompreneurs

NEW YORK, N.Y. /ScoopCloud/ -- Nearly half of stay at home moms plan to network with other professionals to find new jobs, but unfortunately 1/3 of them don't have contacts. More than 70% of working mothers and fathers say women are penalized professionally for starting families, and men aren't. And almost three-quarters of moms - and more than 70% of women without children - say mothers are offered fewer opportunities to move up the ladder than childless women. Enter Mompreneur and Me.

Featured in Adweek and Entrepreneur, at Mompreneur and Me events groups of working moms and their children (dads are welcome too!) and social media mom influencers network and have fun- from bowling to mommy and me cooking classes. For the first hour moms participate in an activity with their child, and for the second hour they network with one another and work on professional development activities: from handling office politics to advocating for oneself in corporate settings.

The women love Mompreneur and Me events because unlike conferences and other meetups, thanks to corporate sponsorship they do not need to pay to attend or travel outside their city. Mompreneur and Me events come to their city. The moms also have access to quality childcare while on site, so they can network guilt-free.

Upcoming Dates: July 14 - Brooklyn (for a video from past events, click here: https://mompreneurandme.com/join-us/).

If you're interested in covering this or attending the July 14 event, please email Christine. She can discuss the national events and/or:
* What professional development skills are most requested by mom attendees.
* Why mom influencers are a critical component to the success of the events, and
* Some of the global brands who support the event, like McDonald's, and why they're committing to working moms through the events.

Capital Industries Shares How to Fix Broken Concrete Driveways and Patios with Repair Products

MATTITUCK, N.Y. /ScoopCloud/ -- Leading supplier of concrete floor and driveway repair products, Capital Industries, shares tips on how to fix broken driveway concrete with repair products. Throughout the years, most patios and driveways will develop cracks. Depending on local weather conditions, these could be caused by winter's freezing and thawing cycles, tree roots, and settling of the concrete foundation due to the movement underground.

However, instead of pouring a new driveway or patio concrete slab, consider repairing the cracks with concrete driveway crack filler and repair products. Here's some tips on what to look for and how to fix broken concrete.

What to Look For

Often, smaller cracks will be an indication of settling and sometimes larger problems under the concrete foundation. Try to notice and repair small cracks right away so they don't develop into larger cracks over time.

Even if concrete has seen rough weather through frosts and thaws, has surface level cracks or even potholes, it can still be repaired with a patio or driveway concrete repair product. If the concrete is broken all the way through with deep cracks or has split in two, the concrete may need to be removed or re-poured.

Prepare the Crack for Repair

Before pouring concrete repair product over the crack, it needs to be prepared. Use a hammer or chisel to clear the crack of any loose chips. Any loose concrete should be removed. Clear any dirt and debris off the crack area. The surface should be free from any oil, grease, paint, corrosion, dust, or other surface contaminants.

What Product to Use

FP-300 is a high strength patio and driveway concrete repair product that is designed to use when leveling, resurfacing or patching concrete surfaces. It can be used for concrete floors, driveways, and patios.

With a trowel or screed, smooth the FP-300 across the surface and into the crack of the concrete. Finish smooth with a trowel, wood or sponge float. If desired, use a broom for a rough finish.

If the concrete crack repair is more than 1/2 inch in thickness, Capital Industries recommends using FP-400.

For more information and technical assistance with FP-300 or FP-400, please visit http://www.kwikbond.com/.

About Capital Industries:
Capital Industries, Inc. is a leading supplier of commercial and industrial concrete repair products. For over 30 years, we have proudly serviced contractors, factories, warehouses and distribution centers for industrial, institutional and commercial customers.

Greenspot Partners with Empire Clean Cities on Shared Electric Vehicle Project for Low-Income Families in the South Bronx

SOUTH BRONX, N.Y. /ScoopCloud/ -- Greenspot has partnered with Empire Clean Cities, New York City's designated Clean Cities Coalition, to propose a research-driven integration of an advanced electric mobility platform in the South Bronx. The proposed project consists of a network of dual-port, zero-emission publicly accessible electric vehicle (EV) charging hubs (ADA-accessible) paired with publicly-shared EVs (PSEVs) whose use will be subsidized for the target community.

Through this program, Greenspot anticipates increasing passenger vehicle utilization (the percentage of the day that a vehicle is being driven, rather than sitting parked) from 5% to 40%, reducing the overall number of vehicles on South Bronx roads by as many as ten for every shared EV provided.

The proposed Advanced Vehicle Technology aims to provide the target community with publicly-shared electric vehicles, EV charging infrastructure, and trip-planning tools, while supporting relevant public agencies with networked, real-time data on EV charging and vehicle use; demonstrating the viability of advanced electric mobility technologies in communities of low-socioeconomic status (SES); optimizing transit grid efficiency and reducing road and parking congestion; and supporting first- and last-mile solutions that result in greater equity and transit accessibility. If successful, this project will serve as a case study for the viable execution of electric mobility technologies in low-SES communities, whom research shows have the most to gain from such solutions.

"This program is intended not only to develop sustainable transit infrastructure for the South Bronx, but also throughout the borough," said Michael Mazur, COO of Greenspot. "We're here to show that shared electric vehicles and charging infrastructure can be an equitable solution for the public as a whole, and not just tailored to those with a relatively high socioeconomic status."

Participating Organizations

Also participating on this project is The HOPE Program, home to the Sustainable South Bronx initiative (winner of the EPA's Environmental Quality Award). Working with low-income and at-risk communities throughout the community, The HOPE Program will guide the selection of ideal research and project participants, who will receive free or reduced-cost mobility solutions in exchange for participation in an ongoing research study that aims to identify the community- and city-level impacts of the proposed intervention.

The Bard Center for Environmental Policy is leading the project's research planning, literature review, and survey execution as part of the project's commitment to solution optimization for low-income communities. The POINT CDC will serve as an overall consultant and advisor for project activities, consistent with the organization's mission to support youth development and the cultural and economic revitalization of the Hunts Point section of the South Bronx.

"This project will provide important information about how shared mobility can support the transportation needs of low-income commuters," said Eban Goodstein, Director of Bard's Graduate Programs in Sustainability.

Equitable Access to Cleaner Transit Solutions

Over 160,000 Bronx residents are estimated to rely primarily on cars to get to and from workplaces on a weekly basis. Public transportation, on which New York City residents depend more than the five next most populous U.S. cities combined, is unreliable in the Bronx due to tightly-packed transit systems primarily designed to bring commuters through, rather than to or from, the borough. Seventy-two percent of Bronx residents rely on personally-owned vehicles to get to work or school on a daily basis, more than any other New York City borough, and with about half of these residents using both personally-owned vehicles and public transportation during daily transit. By eliminating the need for personally-owned vehicles, the Smart Mobility Program aims to lower the number of vehicles on public roads.

Asthma Reduction Goals

Lowering asthma rates, and providing increased access to healthcare services for young mothers and children living in the South Bronx, is a core concern for the proposed intervention. The asthma hospitalization rate in the Bronx is 700% higher than in the rest of New York State and 70% higher than in the rest of New York City. Bronx residents are at triple the risk of asthma-related death when compared with the national average, with an average child asthma rate of 20%. Residents' proximity to central highways in the Bronx (I-87, I-95, I-295, US-1) is a primary contributor to asthma rates, as is reduced access to medical care for low-income residents. Outdated infrastructure is considered partly responsible for the Bronx' healthcare disparities and risks, with nearly 40% of Bronx' housing units built in or before 1939.

Infants are particularly vulnerable to diesel exhaust and other prevalent environmental risks in the Bronx; teen birth rates in the Bronx continue to be 75% higher than in any other New York borough, with infant mortality rates at least 25% higher than in the rest of the city. Healthcare access for prospective mothers in the Bronx is essential, with Bronx mothers disproportionately likely to die during childbirth; compared with those of other boroughs, Bronx mothers have the highest rates of obesity, diabetes, and other key health risks that affect infant and material mortality.

About Greenspot

Founded in 2014, Greenspot has partnered with dozens of domestic and international leaders to revolutionize mobility by facilitating EV access and adoption and helping reduce the amount of cars owned per household by one. Recognized with a 2018 Governor's Environmental Excellence Award for its work to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in New Jersey, Greenspot is a rising national leader in cleaner, safer, and smarter mobility. Greenspot's unique platform optimizes EV charging station use and is future-proofed to enable improved service value over time as EV ridership increases and available technologies advance.

Greenspot's Smart Mobility Program is estimated to have removed approximately 650 personally owned vehicles from public roads, driving a reduction in vehicle miles travelled (VMT) by an estimated 4.5 million and reducing carbon emissions by over 1,750 tons; SMP members have saved over $11M in costs associated with car ownership, maintenance, insurance, and fueling, while reducing gasoline usage by over 300,000 gallons.

SOHO Gallery Cafe Seeks to Create Inclusive, Welcoming Community for NYC, International Artists

NEW YORK, N.Y. /ScoopCloud/ -- A new art-inspired cafe is taking residence in New York City's SoHo neighborhood. By Name, a multi-purpose space located at 324 Bowery, is opening on June 5, 2019 with the goal of creating a contemporary art space for the community of local and international emerging artists contributing to the vibrancy of New York and beyond.

The space promotes dialogue with fresh artists and supports the introduction of dynamic and culturally relevant work to the existing art world.

"We aim to stand out from your typical cafe. By Name will incorporate different concepts - art, food, drink - to break the norm of viewing art in traditional venues such as a museum or formal gallery," said owner and artist Junyan Hou. We want to blend that experience with the other senses like touch, taste, sight, scent, allowing our customers to be refreshed and inspired upon every visit."

Hou is a native of China whose path to creative fulfillment led him to New York. Now, he, along with co-owners Shuyu Niu and Linna Wang, want guests at By Name to have a memorable experience that connects them to the artists featured in the space.

"By Name is for all ages and all backgrounds," Hou continued. This is a place for people to relax and take in art the way it was intended to be seen, all while cultivating an environment for creation, collaboration, and performance. We will be happy to offer a wide variety of tea products and select sandwich items to our guests."

"A visitor to By Name is immediately struck by the quality of the interior architecture and fine craftsmanship of the new counters, incidental furniture and displays. And just look at the floor!" said Grahame Weinbren, a pioneer of interactive cinema, who currently serves as the senior editor of the Millennium Film Journal and teaches at the School of Visual Arts in New York. "This is a classy little gallery and coffee shop, very welcome on the Bowery where new spaces often seem to be carelessly assembled from discarded office scraps found on the street. By Name, in contrast, is here to stay. The art in the first show is unique, tasteful, and beautifully hung. Visitors to the nearby New Museum and ICP will be charmed."

Equally important, the unique fusion of gallery space and tea house is dedicated to offering a fresh way to enjoy the visual experience. The minimalist-style cafe will officially debut with a Grand Opening on Wednesday, June 5, featuring an art show called "The Present," with five artists - Yi Chen, Hao Chen, Junyan Hou, Brett Henrikson, and Jonathan Ellis showcasing their work from photography, multi-media art, and sculpturing. This exhibition will run at By Name until Sunday, June 16.

Ken Kobland, a Bronx native who has produced independent film, video, and art works since the early 1970's, agreed with Weinbren's assessment of By Name.

"I really enjoyed my first glimpse of the cafe and gallery. It's a small lovely space with a grand idea for looking at art and having a cup of tea," Kobland said. "I must say, my being a long-time resident of the Bowery and having watched it lose much of its individual creativity, I really welcome a place like this which has its own unique character. May it prosper."

Hurricane Season 2019 Kicks Off Earlier Than Expected: 5 Tips for Finding the Right Travel Insurance Plan

NEW YORK, N.Y. /ScoopCloud/ -- The Atlantic Hurricane Season got off to an early start this year, with Subtropical Storm Andrea forming on May 20, marking the record fifth year in a row that the hurricane season arrived early. This, along with experts predicting an above average hurricane season, means that travelers could be facing an uphill battle, according to TravelInsurance.com, a leading online comparison site.

"Mother Nature may be unpredictable, but the Atlantic Hurricane season has consistently produced six or more hurricanes over the last few years, of which two to three are considered major hurricanes," said Stan Sandberg, co-founder of TravelInsurance.com. "During this time of the year, travel insurance is an important consideration to help protect against losses from cancellations and delays, and it's never too early to purchase and plan for upcoming travel."

To assist travelers navigating the many ways travel insurance can protect them this hurricane season, TravelInsurance.com has put together a list of the top things to keep in mind:

Purchase Before a Storm is Named. Once a storm is named, it's too late to purchase travel insurance. Since travel insurance is designed to cover unknown events, the date when a storm is first identified by the National Weather Service or the National Hurricane Center usually marks the date the storm becomes a "known risk." Beginning on that date, travel insurance will no longer be available to purchase to cover losses from that particular storm, unless you purchase a plan with optional Cancel For Any Reason coverage, which must be purchased within a set amount of days from your initial trip payment along with insuring 100 percent of your pre-paid and non-refundable trip costs

- Insider Tip: Purchase travel insurance early to lock in your coverage and provide coverage against future storms. Follow a storm tracking service such as the National Hurricane Center (Twitter: @NWSNHC) to stay on top of the weather.

Look for Hurricane-specific Coverage. Almost all Trip Cancellation plans provide trip cancellation, trip interruption, and trip delay coverage due to severe weather causing either a shut-down in services or preventing you from getting to your destination. In addition to coverage due to severe weather, many plans provide coverage terms that are specifically relevant to hurricanes.

- Insider Tip: Travel insurance terms can vary by plan and insurance carrier. By using a comparison site like TravelInsurance.com, you can quickly compare those differences and find a plan that is best for your unique circumstances. For hurricane-related coverage, look for the following covered reasons under a plan's Trip Cancellation coverage: (a) inclement weather; (b) accommodations if your destination becomes uninhabitable; (c) mandatory evacuation at your destination; and, (d) National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) hurricane warning at your destination.

You Can Be Covered if a Hurricane Damages Your Destination Prior to Your Arrival. If a hurricane severely damages your hotel or vacation rental close to your trip dates, Trip Cancellation coverage will likely apply if the damage is significant. Your accommodations have to be made uninhabitable by the hurricane and it has to occur within 14-30 days of your travel dates.

- Insider Tip: Look in the plan's Description of Coverage for the keyword "uninhabitable." The general rule is that the damage has to cause an immediate safety risk. If it's just damage to the pool or tennis courts, as inconvenient as that may be, trip cancellation coverage won't apply.

Evacuation at Destination Must Be Official. If local government authorities at your destination order a mandatory evacuation you, likely have coverage under Trip Cancellation or Trip Interruption.

- Insider Tip: The key considerations are that the evacuation order must be an official order and it must be mandatory. A recommendation by a local newscaster isn't sufficient to cancel under this coverage.

A NOAA Hurricane Warning May Be Enough. If you are within 48 hours of your trip departure date and NOAA issues a hurricane warning at your destination, you may have trip cancellation coverage. It's important to note that your cancellation under this covered reason must occur more than 14 days from your effective date (15 days from your purchase date).

- Insider Tip: This covered reason is less common than the other covered reasons listed above. Look for the Worldwide Trip Protector Plan or Worldwide Trip Protector Plus Plan for this coverage.

Ceres Gallery is pleased to present ‘Tipping Point: Art at the Edge’ by Ruth Bauer Neustadter

NEW YORK, N.Y. /ScoopCloud/ -- Ceres Gallery is pleased to present "Tipping Point: Art at the Edge" by Ruth Bauer Neustadter, from May 28 to June 22, 2019 with an opening reception on Thursday, May 30 from 6-8 p.m.

This solo exhibition of new paintings, constructions and assemblage mix with the artist's environmental and political activism, calling attention to crucial, ongoing natural erosions.

The works on view throughout "Tipping Point" consist of metal, glass, fiber and found objects. A new series of paintings titled "Turn the Tide" will also debut, rendering surfaces in high-relief with brittle textures that highlight the fragile nature of ephemeral forms.

Neustadter's depictions of unpretentious ruptures encourage discussions of the many environmental issues that we face. This highly colorful, tactile show engages viewers and asks for participation by carefully looking at each piece. Writing materials will be provided, so that visitors can comment on each of the paintings.

Ruth Bauer Neustadter was born into a highly creative family of artists, designers and sculptors. Although her first love was dance, classes in pottery and textiles led her to painting. While in her studio, Neustadter repurposes found objects for inclusion in her highly-textured, kinesthetic works that seem to dance away from the picture plane.

The Nicky Manx Dance Company will perform at the reception on May 30, 2019, 6-8 p.m.

Ceres Gallery is located at 547 West 27th Street, Suite 201, New York, NY 10001 and open Tuesday, Friday and Saturday from 12 to 6 p.m.; Thursday, from 12 to 8 p.m. More information: http://ceresgallery.org/
