Dreams Are About to Become Reality for Charlotte Rock Band Killakoi

CHARLOTTE, N.C. /ScoopCloud/ -- N.C.-based rock band, Killakoi, opened the inaugural Epicenter Festival. On May 9, 2019 Killakoi took the stage in the Epicenter Village for the early arriving festival campers. The festival was estimated to have an estimated 10,000 campers.

Since their inception in 2017, Killakoi has been taking the rock world by storm. It seems like there's no stopping these four talented and hard-working musicians from making their dreams come true.

2018 was a banner year for the band as they released their debut EP "Pangea," working with Sahaj Ticotin and completed their first national tour with From Ashes To New, as well as Badflower and Dead Girls Academy, who are also performing at the festival.

Killakoi dared to set an even bigger goal for themselves, to play Carolina Rebellion in 2019. It was a lofty goal for such a young band but they put forth an "if you can dream about it, you can do it" attitude and great things began to happen. Of course, Carolina Rebellion is no longer, but Epicenter Festival filled the void in Rockingham, N.C. for music fans from all across the country. The weekend festival included dozens of bands including headliners Tool, Korn, Rob Zombie and the Foo Fighters.

They were honored with the distinction of being the very first band to play the festival taking the stage for the Pre-party in the Rockingham Village Thursday evening.

Killakoi Is:
Jordan Mattachione - Vocals, Guitar
Sam Ocheltree - Bass
Robbie Reimer - Guitar
Michael Russo - Drums

Management: Empire Reign
Booking Agency: Artery Global

A Day of Self Discovery and Soulful Inquiry for Care Providers

GREENSBORO, N.C. /ScoopCloud/ -- Creative Aging Network-NC is excited to announce its 2019 Creative Aging Symposium: Building Creative Communities Across Generations coming up April 30 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Bell Campus in Greensboro, the event will be repeated on May 1 during the same hours at the Harris Conference Center in Charlotte.

With National Nursing Care Week just around the corner, many aging service leaders are seeking ways to recognize the significant contributions of their staff and express their appreciation. What better way to treat caregivers and activities staff than by giving them a day full of meaningful engagement to reconnect with their inner spirit and experience the joy of unfettered self-expression at the Symposium.

Sponsored by Southminster and funded in part by the North Carolina Arts Council, the Symposium, the event will provide valuable information about establishing, implementing and sustaining intergenerational programming in aging service communities.

Legendary Russian painter and art theorist Wassily Kandinsky (December 16, 1866-December 13, 1944) published Concerning the Spiritual in Art back in 1910. Writing about creative expression as an "internal necessity" that impels artists to create as a spiritual impulse and audiences to admire art as a spiritual hunger, Kandinksy noted, "That is beautiful which is produced by the inner need, which springs from the soul." The experiential sessions at the Symposium will help care providers discover, or rediscover their innate creativity and learn ways to incorporate it in their daily work.

The theme for the 2019 National Nursing Care Week is "Live Soulfully." In line with this theme, the Creative Aging Symposium will provide interactive sessions for healthcare staff to engage with their peers in more meaningful and authentic ways. They will learn how these creative sessions can be replicated in their own communities to build stronger care teams and improve the overall well-being of the older adults they serve. They will also learn how creative self-expression builds confidence, increases social connection and strengthens communities in powerful ways.

YourNovel.com Romance Novelists Profile Valentine Shopper Types

RALEIGH, N.C. /ScoopCloud/ -- J.S. Fletcher and Kathy Newbern, founders of YourNovel.com, are still going strong after nearly three decades of personalizing romance novels for couples far and wide. Imagine you and your Sweetheart starring in a book. How romantic.

If there's one thing that unites every corner of the globe, it's love, and the husband-wife novelists, a.k.a. Fletcher Newbern, have made it their mission to spread the love. They've visited 70 countries, stepped foot on every continent, and sailed the high seas aboard numerous cruises in their other job, as travel writers, but always with an eye toward the romantic.

YourNovel.com offers more than 50 romantic novels to select from, including books set in Rome, Tahiti, England, the Caribbean and even the Wild West. It's a quick process: pick a story, answer a questionnaire online, and receive a paperback or hardback novel starring the two of you.

The husband-wife team note that business historically peaks during the Valentine season. It's the perfect holiday to give such a dedicated memento.

What's interesting are the types of Valentine shoppers they see, such as:

* The Romantic: plans to dazzle their special partner with something never seen before. Every year they set out for something sizzling, sexy and unique to get the heartstrings strumming the song of love. And with such a wide variety of books to choose from, YourNovel.com has these romantics covered.

* Long-timer: has run out of ideas after so many years being together but still wants something new for the occasion. With each celebrated Valentine's Day, a personalized romance adventure novel fits the bill for a beautiful commemoration and a fill-in-your-own dedication page.

* The Procrastinator: buys roses and chocolates at a roadside stand on the way home from work on February 14. But not to worry, the company's eBooks are available within a few hours even on the Day of Love.

* The Overachiever: Chocolates-check! Roses-check! Candles-check! Fancy undies-check! Um, anything else? After all, it's already January 25. That buys enough time to get a lovely hardback romance novel with a photo of you two on the front cover.

* Deployed: is currently not in a position to go for the usual stuff or receive it. YourNovel.com has served many clients who are deployed or whose partners are away from home. A personalized romance novel is easy to ship worldwide and a fabulous way to say "I love you" from a distance.

* Doghouse Bad Boy: needs a grand gesture to make up for some grievous error (real or imagined). YourNovel.com has all kinds of stories to choose from to make amends in a romantic, special way. Read it together on the couch then act out the sexy parts - each book comes wild or mild.

* Non-Believer: "It's just a made up holiday." Better to be safe than sorry when it comes to the significant other who may not hold the same opinion. Besides, personalized gifts are timeless, and romantic novels are sure to captivate for years to come.

"Over the years," says Newbern, "our books have been called the 'Ultimate Vanity Valentine,' and we've been called 'Computerized Cupids.' We love that job title."

Fletcher has a final piece of advice. "Don't get sucked into believing the Big Lie: 'It's OK, Honey, you don't need to get me anything for Valentine's.'"

Regardless of your shopping profile, a novel starring you and your real-life Sweetie is sure to impress as a forever keepsake.

Details: In the U.S., printed books, hardback or paperback, usually arrive within a week; ebooks within 24 hours. Call (800) 444-3356 or visit https://yournovel.com/ for more information.

The company created the genre of personalized romance novels in 1992.

Introducing Properly, The Real Estate Industry’s First Full-Service, Online Brokerage Launches in Charlotte, North Carolina

CHARLOTTE, N.C. /ScoopCloud/ -- The first full-service, online brokerage for home sellers, Properly, is launching in Charlotte, N.C. in January 2019. The fast-growing city of Charlotte was selected as Properly's second market from a shortlist of potential cities.

Since they launched in Atlanta in 2015, Properly has sold over $50 million of real estate, more than 100 homes and saved their customers almost $1 million in listing commissions (the average Properly customer saves over $8,500 in listing commissions).

Selling a home is an unnecessarily complex and manual process that takes an average of 72 days and costs the average seller $15,000. Each year over $30 billion is spent on residential listing commissions by U.S. homeowners.

Properly is providing a solution the modern home seller is looking for, a better way to sell her or his home. Their cloud-based, online real estate brokerage sells homes three times faster than the market average, for more than 98 percent of the recommended list price, providing home sellers full transparency into the home sale process.

Why Charlotte?

Charlotte was selected from a list of approximately 20 U.S. cities. Our market analysis revealed that Charlotte shares a lot of characteristics with Atlanta. It's a fast growing city, with a young population of homeowners. It's become known for innovation and the presence of lots of high tech companies and Fortune 500 companies made the city a compelling one for our team.

"Charlotte is the ideal market for us. It's a young, fast-growing city with a large community of busy homeowners who are looking for a better, faster way to sell their home," said Properly CEO and co-founder, Ben Kubic.

New study by UNC-CH researchers finds that walking while listening to Walking Classroom podcasts improves student learning, retention, and mood

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. /ScoopCloud/ -- The Walking Classroom Institute (TheWalkingClassroom.org) has released results of a research study conducted in spring 2018 by researchers from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and funded by the Oak Foundation, confirming that walking while listening to The Walking Classroom podcasts improves student learning as well as retention of information, student mood, and attitudes toward learning.

The study, which tested 319 4th and 5th grade students over a three-month period, had the students complete a series of measures over four testing periods to assess learning, mood, cognitive performance, and attitudes toward learning. The findings were overwhelmingly positive for The Walking Classroom program methodology.

Walking Improves Student Learning and Retention:

Students who walked and listened to The Walking Classroom's educational podcasts demonstrated significantly higher levels of learning than students who sat while listening to the podcasts. This result was demonstrated both in short-term and long-term retention as measured by performance on a 10-question comprehension quiz on podcast content administered immediately after the walk as well as one week later.

In addition to improvements in learning the material presented in the podcast, walking had a significant positive impact on cognitive test performance. Students were given a 3-minute multiplication test both after walking and after sitting, and the resulting math test scores were significantly higher for the groups that had walked prior to taking the test.

Walking Improves Student Mood and Attitudes Toward Learning:

The study also tested the effects of walking on student mood and attitudes toward learning and found that walking (versus sitting) had similar improvements in those areas. All positive-affect markers (e.g., students describing themselves as strong, happy, alert, excited, and enthusiastic) increased after walking and listening to podcasts and decreased after sitting and listening to podcasts. Similarly, negative-affect markers (e.g., students describing themselves as irritable, nervous, upset, mad, and sad) all decreased after walking, demonstrating a strong positive influence of the Walk, Listen, and Learn program on student mood and attitudes toward learning.

Laura Fenn, CEO and founder of The Walking Classroom said, "We've had teachers reporting similar results with their students in our annual surveys for years, but seeing the results confirmed in this study is thrilling. Knowing that The Walking Classroom is actually helping students learn more and retain more information, while also helping them feel happier and more excited about learning, is very rewarding."

The study was conducted by Erianne Weight, Ph.D. and a team of researchers from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Its purpose was to test the impact of learning during physical activity on student short-term and long-term learning retention, cognitive performance, mood, and attitudes toward learning. Baseline data was gathered one week prior to listening to the podcasts. Additional results were gathered immediately after walking and listening to podcasts, immediately after sitting and listening to podcasts, and one week after the podcasts were delivered.

About The Walking Classroom:

A national award-winning education program, The Walking Classroom provides students with an innovative way to get exercise without sacrificing instructional time. The Walking Classroom Institute, a 501(c)(3) non-profit, was founded by CEO/Creator Laura Fenn, a former 5th grade teacher with over 15 years of classroom experience. Laura developed The Walking Classroom program as a way to add exercise to the school day without sacrificing instructional time. While all students benefit from the increased activity and educational content of The Walking Classroom, children with low academic achievement and childhood obesity stand to benefit the most. Students with alternative learning styles such as ADHD, dyslexia, or autism also benefit from the program. The Walking Classroom program is now used by tens of thousands of students in all 50 states.

Steve Harvey’s ‘STEVE’ and Capital Ford of Rocky Mount surprise local woman with a new car

ROCKY MOUNT, N.C. /ScoopCloud/ -- Steve Harvey's "STEVE" and Capital Ford of Rocky Mount give the surprise of a lifetime to local Rocky Mount woman, Jaylesya Corbett. Capital Ford of Rocky Mount teamed up with Steve Harvey's hit syndicated daytime show, "STEVE" to donate a New 2019 Ford Fiesta to help Corbett get to work easier.

Corbett's story received national attention after Nash County Sheriff's Officer, Scott Bass, noticed Corbett walking alone while he was on patrol.

"One morning, at this intersection, I saw a young female walking and it was really, really cold. It was wet, so I could see she had bags on her shoes to keep them dry. I could also see by her dress that she worked for Bojangles," said Sgt. Bass.

Curious by what he saw, he offered to give Corbett a ride and discovered that she walked over 12 miles a day to get to and from her job at Bojangles Chicken 'n' Biscuits. She would leave her home at 3 a.m. every morning to be at work by 5am. This work ethic struck Sgt. Bass and he soon began giving her rides as often as he could and also asked his co-workers to do the same.

Realizing that he could not always be around to help her, he contacted the Walmart in Nashville, N.C. and spoke to some of the managers. He showed them a bicycle that he saw in the store and Walmart generously donated the bike to Corbett.

After Corbett's story and the generosity of the local community made national news, Steve Harvey's "STEVE" knew that they had to help Corbett, so they reached out to Capital Ford of Rocky Mount.

"Upon hearing the story of Jaylesya, we were inspired to help in any way we could. When producers at 'STEVE' reached out to us with their idea about giving her a car, we knew that there was no one else more deserving! We were thrilled to be able to partner with the show and help present her with a New 2019 Ford Fiesta!" said General Manager, Will Pritchett.

The episode of "STEVE" featuring Jaylesya aired on Thursday, October 25, 2018. (Check local listings.)

Medical Practice Consulting Services Expands Billing Operations in North Carolina

NORTH TOPSAIL BEACH, N.C. /ScoopCloud/ -- Medical Practice Consulting Services (MPCS), a leading national group of practice growth consultants offering revenue cycle management services today announce the strategic expansion and opening of their billing operations, with offices at 2000 New River Inlet, Suite 1001.

Medical Practice Consulting Services maintains home offices in Statesville. Increasingly sought after as "growth consultants" by visionary medical practice managers, the team offers a wealth of industry and practice management experience, combined with top notch billing and account management services.

"Every practice needs a road map to growth," says Debbie Henderson, CEO of MPCS. "Our team is uniquely qualified to meet the challenges of a rapidly changing healthcare environment."

Today, challenges are different than they were even five years ago. Reimbursements have changed, she explains. But the need to remain on top of practice management and growth strategies to remain competitive in one's industry remain much the same, no matter the practice speciality.

"Providers may not have the vision, perspective or experience to optimize their practice revenues," says Henderson. "They're busy providing patient care and managing the day to day functions of their practice."

That's when MPCS steps in: to help identify areas of weakness within the practice revenue cycle, and to shine a light on areas ready for growth.

"We make certain the revenue cycle is closed and that our clients receive the compensation they earn," she says.

Highly qualified medical professionals may be slow to embrace change, Henderson explains.

Even proficient leaders may not realize there's a different way, more profitable means of managing everything from insurance contracts to work flow and overhead.

"The number one problem we see is that managing physicians lack a good picture of their practice revenues," she says. "We are motivated to figure out what's owed them, areas where they've lost money, and we design and execute a plan to correct the deficits."

At the fore of the North Topsail Beach billing operations center, Julie Linkous, revenue cycle director, and Kristin Leigh Wiggins, senior billing specialist, will anchor the client services team. Linkous provides the primary point of contact for clients engaged in day-to-day decision making, solving problems and allocating resources. Wiggins will oversee operations and reporting to offer clients a true picture of their practice revenues relative to their growth goals. Together, the two will manage billing support functions and staff.

"We can prove that our practice growth strategies increase revenues by as much as 30-40 percent the first year after we start to manage billing," says Henderson. "Our team has developed processes that return consistently in a rapidly changing medical practice environment."

The team approach exemplified by Linkous and Wiggins helps Henderson keep a finger on the pulse of every practice served, she says.

"We structured everything in a way that makes sense for our clients, with impeccable customer service, attention to detail, and dedicated staff with a commitment to quality that is difficult to find elsewhere."

About Medical Practice Consulting Services:
Medical Practice Consulting Services - http://medicalpracticeconsultingservices.com/ - 246 East Broad Street, Statesville, N.C., is a leading national group of practice growth consultants offering revenue cycle management services.

Parkway Ford Lincoln Certified as a J.D. Power 2018 Dealer of Excellence

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. /ScoopCloud/ -- Demonstrating its commitment to exceeding customer expectations, Parkway Ford Lincoln has been certified in the J.D. Power 2018 Dealer of Excellence Program(SM) which recognizes a select number of vehicle dealerships throughout the United States that provide exceptional customer service.

"As an automotive leader in Ford and Lincoln sales in the Winston-Salem area, we feel honored to receive such an award," said Ched Neal, partner of Parkway Ford Lincoln. "This is a conglomerate effort and the result of committed employees who equally share in this recognition."

Known for its "Voice of the Customer" research for 50 years, J.D. Power and, subsequently, its Dealer of Excellence Program help consumers identify leading retailers that will go the extra mile.

According to J.D. Power, buying a vehicle is a significant financial transaction and can be stressful because there's so much information to digest. The Dealer of Excellence Program assists auto buyers who are looking for an exceptional dealership where they can confidently buy a vehicle. Certified dealers also benefit by leveraging the J.D. Power brand and promoting their dealership's commitment to an outstanding customer purchase experience.

Dealer of Excellence is an exclusive program and not all dealerships can qualify. Those that do must pass a three-step process:

As the first qualification criterion, J.D. Power limits the percentage of eligible dealerships by nameplate based on each brand's performance in the most recent J.D. Power U.S. Sales Satisfaction Index (SSI) Study(SM). Thus, proportionally more dealerships from top-performing brands can become a J.D. Power Dealer of Excellence.

Second, dealerships must rank among their brand's top performers in key customer satisfaction areas consistent with measurements found in the SSI Study.

Finally, qualifying dealers must pass an audit to show they meet or exceed J.D. Power sales best practices. Those best practices include, but are not limited to, listing vehicle inventory and pricing on the dealership website; negotiating in an efficient and transparent manner; offering a fair trade-in value; and presenting a clear and easy-to-understand menu of finance and insurance products.

Parkway Ford Lincoln offers the widest variety of Ford and Lincoln vehicles in Winston-Salem, as well as Greensboro, High Point, Burlington, and Charlotte areas. Along with excellent customer service, "100% Transparent Pricing," and fifty years of experience, they offer 2 locations, one on Peter's Creek Parkway and one on University Parkway in Winston-Salem.

Pinehurst Surgical Clinic Calls for Expansion of Affordable Medical Access in Richmond County Area

PINEHURST, N.C. /ScoopCloud/ -- Pinehurst Surgical Clinic (PSC) has served Richmond County and its surrounding areas since 1946 as a reliable and trustworthy provider of affordable surgical services. Offering a number of medical services, from a Urological Surgical Center and a Women's Care Center, Pinehurst Surgical Center has proved itself a valuable and necessary surgical resource in Richmond County.

"North Carolina is ranked as one of the lowest states in the nation when it comes to affordable healthcare. Pinehurst Surgical Clinic intends to be a catalyst of change by offering Richmond County a new approach to healthcare, we want to make it more accessible, affordable and trustworthy for this small community," said Robert J. Chamberlain, M.D, President of Pinehurst Surgical.

As an active member of the Richmond County community, PSC has witnessed a growing and increasingly urgent need for expanded medical access in the Richmond County Area. With the consolidation of two hospital providers in the area in recent years (FirstHealth Moore Regional-Richmond and Sandhills Regional Medical Center), residents have seen their options for surgical care greatly diminished.

More residents than ever are having to travel farther for simple outpatient surgical care. In 2015, 1,164 residents of Richmond County traveled out of the county to get a surgery. In 2018 however, 1,747 left the county for comparable procedures.

With a difference of 583 surgeries in a year, it's not only talking about convenience of care for the patients themselves but revenue for the county as well. Increased access to healthcare in Richmond County means PSC can bring jobs back to rural communities while lowering healthcare costs and increasing the quality of care overall, which are two of the main factors that American enterprises look for in their selection process when opening new facilities.

"Clinics like Pinehurst Surgical Clinic are the pillars of high quality low cost healthcare for the future, not just for rural communities but for any area looking to succeed," said David Grantham, M.D., Medical Director of Pinehurst Surgical.

Patients able to choose care through outpatient surgical clinic like PSC pay significantly lower out-of-pocket costs than patients who go through a hospital setting for their surgical care. It costs Medicare just 53 percent of the amount paid to hospital outpatient departments for the procedure as in a setting like PSC. That amounts to real-life savings for patients, as much as $400 for one procedure in some cases. These savings don't even take into the account the saved cost of travel. Traveling out of Richmond County for outpatient surgery often involves more than an hour-and-a-half roundtrip of driving or transit which can be a hardship for patients, particularly when multiple visits are required for pre- and post-op care.

The need for increased medical access in Richmond County is clear and urgent. By increasing their reach in Richmond County, Pinehurst Surgical Clinic can lower healthcare costs and improve quality of life in the community they've been proud to be a part of for over 70 years.

About Pinehurst Surgical:

Pinehurst Surgical, in Pinehurst, North Carolina, has been providing quality healthcare for more than 70 years. In addition to the main clinic in Pinehurst, the clinic also operates five satellite locations with First Health of the Carolinas and Scotland Healthcare, serving a six county primary care region. Forty-two physicians make Pinehurst Surgical, a multi-specialty group offering a range of services, including a Women's Care Center, general and bariatrics, vascular, orthopedic and joint replacement, ear, nose, throat, facial plastic, mohs surgery and urologic surgeries.

In partnership with Pinehurst Medical, Pinehurst Surgical provides access to over 100 physicians, forming one of the largest accountable care organizations in the surrounding six counties.
