America’s Crypto Church giving away 1,500 pounds of cannabis to boost membership (where legal)

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- This isn't your normal church bake sale, more like "Baked Sale." Temple420.org tries a unique membership drive method. Hoping that people would gravitate towards their message of hope in the End Times and join the organization less than 100 people subscribed to their YouTube channel. The for-profit church has yet to sell many NFTs as hoped. Now, they are trying gifting cannabis to new members.

"Our Membership NFTs are on the ETH (Ethereum) ledger, the one the SEC has already pronounced is not a security unlike XRP, so the price of ETH to the US Dollar went up so quickly that our NFT prices were crazy high and that is not because we are a cannabis church," the congregation's leader Pastor Craig X said jokingly.

"We decided to lower the cost to $100 for one of our NFTs and to add more value we're including 10 individually packed ounces of cannabis hemp with the $100 membership. The retail price is $200 on the hemp alone, plus you get an NFT, the hottest digital asset on the market, so we think joining our congregation is a great idea and a good deal! Even if you resell the NFT you keep the hemp."

There are three levels of membership for the church each that comes with a different NFT image and a higher reward of cannabis to the new member. A simple search on YouTube will show many videos of church members burning cannabis in a prayerful ceremony like Native America smudging. The church leader says he learned to use cannabis in a medicinal and spiritual way from Havasupai Elder, Roland Manakaja, featured in High Times magazine, pop culture songs, books and spiritual videos.

With only two weeks left in Temple 420's seven weeks ministry they have decided to step up their game by making their NFT offer that comes with membership include the very sacrament they are burning online. Each day the Bible class starts with a prayer and the burning of cannabis hemp. "We are on Rumble and YouTube with our online non-traditional ministry teaching people not to hate each other whether or not they smoke cannabis. Although we think cannabis helps people get along and a bong."

The Pastor goes on to describe a few of his unique sermons. For example, in one 'service' there were two people dressed in street clothes drinking watching the news, "One night Mario and I drank a beer recording ourselves with 3 camera and lights watching the news like everyday Americans, however, we stopped and pointed out how both CNN and Fox News Corp have the same top investors and those investors are paying to divide us, everyday Americans. Meanwhile, God's love doesn't distinguish between the vaccinated and unvaccinated and neither do we. God doesn't distinguish between the races. In his eyes, He created the human race and that is what we teach."

The church believes the media is being used as propaganda against the American people to divide them. Whether it is late night entertainers like John Oliver claiming that natural immunity doesn't exist or Stephen Colbert doing a song and dance with needles promoting the mandates there seems to be a myriad of examples that support their belief. "News anchors and politicians have become salespeople for the pharmaceutical industry," claims the Pastor. "In the Book of Revelation Jesus wared against people using 'pharmakea' (where the modern word pharmacy comes from) to control the masses (Rev 18:23)." The church uses humor and videos clips to make their points in their videos.

Temple 420 tries to prove that the first two seals of Revelation have been opened and to prepare their followers for the Third Seal, The Rider on the Black Horse. Temple 420 says this seal brings judgement to the world with famine and inflation. In another episode "the Cholo and the White Guy," the two Bible teachers, sans beer, explain how crypto currency has helped them to beat rising prices. They also show samples of silver and gold. The show is mix between the spiritual and the financial with Temple 420 telling their followers to prepare for the Biblical Apocalypse by diversifying their assets. Hemp is an asset followers should have because it is food, fuel, fiber, medicine and the center of a spiritual life, so the church is giving 1,500 pounds to members that join by purchasing an NFT.

Mario Perez, operations director and editor of videos for Temple 420 says, "We bought the cannabis and designed the NFTs to get people excited about joining the Temple. This crazy low price for an NFT is more than reasonable, and we think it will only rise. The most expensive NFT is $420 and comes with two pounds of premium California organic hemp and 30 minutes of Biblical counseling from Pastor Craig X."

Candidate Cleopatra Fitzgerald on the Trending Topic of National and International Security

NEW YORK, N.Y. /ScoopCloud/ -- According to New York City's Mayoral candidate, Cleopatra Fitzgerald, "National and international security are indispensable for the safety of citizens, tourists, immigrants and residents," and she's bringing some injustices to light. She knows that creating agencies, departments, sectors, industries and infrastructures are global governments' approach to developing coordination, but they don't always work.

"There are inadequacies with laws and they're failing so many. For example, inadequacies are seen in ever-present issues such as homelessness, poverty, civil unrest, wars and cyber and transnational crime. We need new laws and proper enforcement," she says.

Fitzgerald believes that a country's reputation is damaged when the incompetence, recklessness, malice, and inability to perform well only serves to hurt humankind.

"Each country/region defends not only its jurisdiction, but its culture, history, tradition, religion and governance," she says.

And while she knows there are shared country alliances of varied types including protection, there are also sad facts that exhibit corruption, putting countries at risk.

"This happens through coercion, bribery, illegal dealings and the refusal to enter into agreements unless participation in illicit money flow occurs," she says. "As backroom deals are made, some illegally benefit while others are harmed. Articles display how human rights' organizations, protestors, Interpol, international court, ethics commissions, investigative journalists have found truths and justice."

Cleopatra shared her views with "Total Prestige" Magazine. Explaining that when rulers, politicians, countries, regions, etc. use their power to place innocent individuals in concentration camps, provide false medical misdiagnoses and conduct surveillance to ostracize groups, individuals, races, religion, tradition and social norms, it denies citizens freedom of speech and human rights.

Global problems such as school failures, pandemics, suicide, discrimination and governmental deficits all demonstrates taxpayers are wasting their money in useless programs instead of in proper usage.

"There's a vicious cycle of class disparity. The affluent often want to displace the poor from their dwellings and the villainous criminals blame normal residents. It's the old versus the new generation with dissimilar upbringings and perspectives," she says. "Each social class has specific wrongs and people need to voice their concerns to be free from abuse."

Bass Player Clint ‘Payback’ Sands Rallies Hip Hop Pioneers for Check Your Risk Campaign for Diabetes Awareness Month

NEW YORK, N.Y. /ScoopCloud/ -- Chuck D and Flavor Flav of Public Enemy, Coolio, Kid Frost and the Dogg Pound's Kurupt are just a few of the hip hop pioneer veterans who responded when bass player/ music producer Clint "Payback" Sands reached out to his friends, inviting them to sound the alarm and participate in the "Check Your Risk" (CYR) awareness campaign for National Diabetes Awareness and Prevention Month in November. The campaign, an initiative of Marci Kenon, founder of the New York-based Preventive Lifestyle Assistance Network (PLAN), alongside Alicia Hollins, founder of The Eight, a Riverside, CA based community service organization, was originally launched in November 2020, in an effort to break the chains that type 2 diabetes has on members of underserved communities.

CYR encourages prevention with a quick online survey. The free "Check Your Risk" assessment can be taken at https://www.checkyourrisk.org/survey.

Actor Keith Robinson ("Dreamgirls"), rappers Ms. Toi, Spice 1, and Dana Dane also a sampling of the many artists that joined the campaign effort and sent their video appeals. Participants DJ/producer Battlecat and lyricist Kokane shared stories of their struggles and triumphs in combatting this lifestyle disease plaguing Blacks and Latinos throughout the country. New York City mayoral candidate Eric Adams gave support to the 2020 inaugural launch by providing a webinar hosted by The Eight and PLAN, the organizations run by Hollins and Kenon, respectively.

"Thirty-four million people in the United States have diabetes," laments Clint "Payback" Sands, who has played bass on numerous rap albums for artists including Ice Cube and Snoop Dogg, noting recent stats from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) site. In his promotional video for the new CYR campaign, he further reveals, "One in five don't even know if they have it. I have type 2 diabetes. I was lucky. I only lost some toes. Hip-hop legend Biz Markie recently lost his life to complications related to type 2 diabetes. Knowing your risk can save your life."

The CYR video promotion seeks to encourage respondents to anonymously answer online eight questions devised by the CDC. They are then recommended to go for an annual exam that includes bloodwork and to take the results with them. They can also choose to be directed to online prevention programs and health challenges to assist them with proper nutrition, a variety of exercise programs, and the daily support and accountability they need to thrive.

"While working with the CDC's National Diabetes Prevention Program (NDPP), a couple of things became clear immediately," says Kenon, a Harlem-based certified lifestyle coach and fitness trainer who has personally stayed a step ahead of a 2012 prediabetes diagnosis. "People do not know they have prediabetes and type 2 diabetes. Both are preventable and reversible through positive lifestyle changes in diet and exercise. I have been amazed by the health transformations of clients who have completed PLAN's DPP classes. But too few people know about these prevention programs and have access to them. We are trying to change that."

The Eight's Alicia Hollins, who recently shed over 100 pounds and has spent years serving the needs of marginalized families in California's Riverside county adds, "What people don't know about their personal risk can hurt them. We know the power of influencers to aid in our mission to eradicate diabetes. With the help of a growing number of celebrities and corporate leaders, we are looking to reach far more people in underserved communities this year. Perhaps, we'll even reach our one million goal!"

‘FRIDAY THE 13TH’ spin-off, ’13 FANBOY’ Coming to a Theater Near You

RUIDOSO, N.M. /ScoopCloud/ -- 13 Fanboy LLC announces: After 12 years without a "FRIDAY THE 13TH" film, fans are hungry for new blood. Enter Deborah Voorhees (yes, that is her real name), star of "FRIDAY THE 13TH part 5," and director of the October 22, 2021 horror film "13 FANBOY."

With "FRIDAY THE 13TH" tied up in legal battles fans are not likely to see the iconic killer Jason Voorhees return to Camp Crystal Lake anytime soon.

"We can't bring you an official 'FRIDAY THE 13TH' movie," says producer Joel Paul Reisig. "That's why Deborah Voorhees and I sat down and created this new franchise."

Reisig's previous credits include over 20 feature films; his most recent one being picked up by Universal Studios. "We really listened to the fans," says Voorhees, who also directed the film and plays a small role. "We wanted to stay true to the legionary movies of the 80s. This is truly a throwback film by fans and for fans."

"13 FANBOY" is about an obsessed fan who stalks (and kills) his favorite actresses from the original "FRIDAY THE 13TH" and "HALLOWEEN" films. The story follows Kelsie Voorhees, who as a child witnesses the murder of her grandmother, "FRIDAY THE 13TH" actress Deborah Voorhees, at the hands of a crazed fanboy. As an adult, Kelsie discovers her grandmother isn't the only victim and the killer is still hunting his favorite "FRIDAY THE 13TH" cast members and iconic scream queens to slaughter.

"Horror fans are the best," says Voorhees, "but every once in a while, you get that one that feels scary. I've received texts saying, 'I'm watching you right now,' or 'wouldn't it be cool if you were killed like you died in the film?'"

The cast includes actors and actresses from the original 80s films, iconic scream queens playing fictionalized versions of themselves. The star lineup includes Cory Feldman, Kane Hodder, C.J. Graham, Tracie Savage, Judi Aronson and many more from the original series. Legendary actress Dee Wallace ("HALLOWEEN," "CUJO," "CRITTERS," "THE HILLS HAVE EYES," "THE HOLLOWING," and "E.T.") leads the film. Adrienne King, star of the original "FRIDAY THE 13TH" passed on appearing in "13 FANBOY," stating that the film was "too real, too scary."

"13 FANBOY" is distributed by Deskpop Entertainment, it will play in limited theaters in North America and London, opening on October 22, 2021. It will also be available for purchase on all major VOD networks on the same day.

HomeBinder debuts new features that strengthen the relationship between homeowners, home professionals, mortgage lenders, insurance providers and other authorized partners

BOSTON, Mass. /ScoopCloud/ -- HomeBinder, a centralized home management platform that keeps homeowners connected with mortgage lenders, home inspectors, insurance providers, home pros, real estate agents, and other authorized professionals, today announced the release of new features and user interface (UI) improvements designed to enhance the home management experience. By fostering greater consumer engagement in digital home management, HomeBinder keeps homeowners connected with the businesses that support their ownership journey, creating opportunities for repeat and referral business and helping build clients for life.

The tool also tracks information including purchase price, current loan balance, loan term, interest rate, annual taxes and hazard insurance. The feature is designed to help homeowners better track their home's value and provide future buyers with deeper transparency into the history of the home.

The platform update also introduces an evergreen "To Do" list on the homeowner's homepage. The list highlights important tasks driven both by homeowner-specific binder data as well as the stage of ownership, following models used by many other successful SaaS platforms.

The new UI also features enhanced navigation and workflows that improve organization of tools such as document storage, maintenance history, home improvement projects, appliance models, property details and photos.

"This latest update to the HomeBinder interface strengthens homeowner engagement with the platform, keeping users connected with their mortgage lenders and other authorized home professionals," said HomeBinder Chief Product Officer Guy Tassinari.

Depth Public Relations marks 15-year milestone serving mortgage industry fintech innovators

ATLANTA, Ga. /ScoopCloud/ -- Depth Public Relations, Inc. (DepthPR), a leading provider of consultative marketing, public relations and reputation management services for mortgage fintech innovators, the residential finance industry and technology for emerging regulated markets (regtech) is celebrating the 15th anniversary of its launch during the Mortgage Bankers Association's Annual Convention & Expo 2021 in San Diego.

DepthPR's business model was conceived to fill a knowledge and service gap for growth-focused technology innovators driving the modernization and digitization of housing finance. Combining unrivaled strategic insights and top-shelf content development with native digital marketing acumen, DepthPR has a track record for fueling adoption of its clients' solutions and services from customer relationship management (CRM), appraisal and loan origination through mortgage servicing, quality control (QC) and capital markets.

DepthPR founder Kerri S. Milam launched the firm in 2006 for the simple reason that she knew she could "build a better mousetrap" based upon her breadth of experience encompassing global PR agencies, public policy, B2B technology innovation, state and local government, financial journalism, cause-related marketing and B2B consulting.

"We ventured out on our own and hitched our wagon to residential finance innovation out of a passion for housing as a key economic driver and an affinity for the tech innovators and visionaries driving its modernization," said Milam. "Building a business is a worthwhile challenge, and even more so if you build it where your heart and intelligence can work in concert. That is what we created, and also the kind of client we serve most effectively."

During the last decade and a half DepthPR has maintained its commitment to avoid working with its clients' direct competitors and to facilitate strategic cross-pollination across clientele - an added value that continues to set the agency apart. Further, the firm emphasizes integrated marketing planning and a project management approach to maximize sustained momentum, support strategic pivots, and ensure 360-degree accountability.

"It says a lot that DepthPR has been the IDS agency of record since 2009," said IDS CEO Mark Mackey. "During that 12-year relationship we have come to rely on their services and to value the way they collaborate with our internal marketing team to ensure we spotlight the reputation we've built with mortgage lenders, closing agents and our partners over more than 30 years."

Despite the pandemic, DepthPR grew its client roster by 17% in the past year, increased employee headcount by 30% and promoted two staff members. As DepthPR reflects on its successful 15 years and its cultivation of mortgage, housing, and financial technology expertise, it looks to broaden its client base among emerging regtech markets.

Global DMS’ EVO® enhances efficiency and mobility with Amazon’s Alexa Voice Command Interface

LANSDALE, Pa. /ScoopCloud/ -- Global DMS, the leading provider of cloud-based real estate appraisal management software, recently announced that its next-generation EVO platform is now voice-enabled, providing lenders access to key functionality and up to the minute information of their entire pipeline with Amazon's Alexa voice control - making EVO the first and only appraisal management software to provide this capability in the mortgage industry.

Quilted Health partners with Regence on value-based program to improve birth outcomes

TACOMA, Wash. /ScoopCloud/ -- Pregnancy care provider Quilted Health announced today that they are partnering with Regence to bring value-based payment to a midwifery model of care. The Regence EoC program is managed by Signify Health, a healthcare platform built to create and power value-based episodes of care programs. EoC compensates providers for delivering improved patient outcomes and lower costs over a patient's "episode of care" for a procedure or condition - such as a knee replacement or a pregnancy and birth - over a defined period of time.

The partnership, one of the first focused on maternity for the Regence Episodes of Care (EoC) program, provides a value-based payment structure to support an evidence-based, equity-focused care model that aims to drive better birth outcomes and reduce health disparities. This model is uniquely suited to midwifery care, because better outcomes and higher patient satisfaction often come with less intervention, and therefore lower costs.

The U.S. is the most dangerous country in the developed world to give birth in terms of maternal and infant mortality, according to the Commonwealth Fund. Underlying factors include limited access to care options, especially early in pregnancy when co-occurring disorders can be assessed and managed, high rates of Cesarean births and pre-term births, inadequate postpartum care, and inconsistent communication between members of the care team. Structural racism makes this situation even worse for birthing people of color, research shows.

Well known are the wide disparities in birth outcomes based on race, with Black and Indigenous birthing people two or three times more likely to die from pregnancy-related complications than their white counterparts, according to the CDC.

Quilted Health puts the pregnant person at the forefront of care with a model led by midwives, partnering with doulas, OB/GYNs, community-based organizations and other specialists to care for patients holistically, with a focus on health equity.

"Partnering with Regence and Signify in this new Episodes of Care payment model is an exciting step forward," said Christine Henningsgaard, CEO and Co-Founder of Quilted Health. "We hope this spurs further payment reform that integrates and rewards the high-value and whole-person care provided by midwives."

Through the Regence EoC program, Quilted Health will take accountability for the patient's entire pregnancy - from first prenatal visit through the birth to postnatal care. Under this fixed price model, providers have the flexibility to take a holistic approach to care, including a focus on health education, timely initiation of prenatal and postnatal care, and other evidence-based services that promote the well-being of the birthing person and the newborn.

Quilted Health exercises this flexibility to provide always-on support, wellness and social resources, and extended postnatal care out to one year after the birth. In addition, they coordinate with insurance for those who need coverage, and cover the cost of doulas.

"Regence works closely with providers like Quilted Health to deliver patient-centered, cost-effective and high-quality care for our members," said Alex Goolsby, vice president of Network Innovation and Operations at Regence. "Our new partnership will bring the innovative, patient-focused Episodes of Care program to more of our members in Washington."

Quilted Health is venture-backed by Town Hall Ventures, Oxeon Venture Studio, and Blue Venture Fund.

About Quilted Health

Quilted Health exists to build and champion a model for equitable access to compassionate, human-centered, whole-person pregnancy care. We envision a world where equity and access are at the center of reproductive care for all people. We believe that everyone, regardless of their race, gender, sexuality, location, ability or income, should have access to evidence-based, inclusive and delightful care.

ATHENS, Ga. /ScoopCloud/ -- FormFree® today announced it has selected Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS) to power FormFree's consumer Financial DNA® solutions for the lender market.

SimpleNexus is acquiring LBA Ware

LEHI, Utah /ScoopCloud/ -- SimpleNexus (https://simplenexus.com/), developer of the leading homeownership platform for loan officers, borrowers, real estate agents and settlement agents, today announced its acquisition of Macon, Georgia-based software firm LBA Ware™ (https://www.lbaware.com). The strategic transaction, SimpleNexus' first, brings together 325 employees in 29 states to serve 425 distinct lender customers and dozens of mortgage technology integration partners.

"Bringing LBA Ware into the SimpleNexus homeownership platform gives mortgage lenders an unprecedented array of competitive advantages across borrower engagement, loan origination and closing as well as operations and business intelligence," said SimpleNexus CEO Cathleen Schreiner Gates. "This is an exciting moment for SimpleNexus. We welcome our new colleagues, who share our passion for helping lenders excel in their markets."

"As a company that values our partnerships with SimpleNexus and LBA Ware, we recognize this as an exciting moment for both firms and an opportunity for two market-leading teams to come together to push the boundaries of innovation on behalf of mortgage bankers," said Randy Allen, CIO of nationwide lender Fairway Independent Mortgage Corporation.

LBA Ware CEO Lori Brewer will join SimpleNexus as EVP and general manager. Brewer founded LBA Ware in 2008 and shepherded the bootstrapped company through thirteen years of product innovation and organic revenue growth. Initially a developer of custom software solutions for banks and mortgage lenders, LBA Ware soon made a name for itself as the creator of CompenSafe™, the mortgage industry's original and most prevalent incentive compensation management (ICM) software. In 2019, LBA Ware diversified its product offerings with the introduction of LimeGear™, a turnkey mortgage business intelligence (BI) platform.

"Together, LBA Ware and SimpleNexus will be able to offer mortgage lenders even more than the sum of our parts and redefine not only the digital mortgage experience, but also the mortgage BI category," Brewer said. "As consistent forces for innovation in the mortgage space, our firms have remarkably compatible cultures and complementary products. We look forward to a bright future as a unified team."

SimpleNexus and LBA Ware have more in common than their compatible cultures. Both companies have become perennial members of the Inc. 5000 list of America's fastest-growing private companies, and each has earned a loyal customer following exemplified by an average Net Promoter Score(r) that far surpasses benchmarks for the financial services and B2B software sectors. SimpleNexus and LBA Ware are both longtime members of Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA), The Mortgage Collaborative (TMC) and the American Credit Union Mortgage Association (ACUMA), among other industry associations.

The deal is expected to close by October 19, 2021.

Lenders attending the Mortgage Bankers Association's 2021 Annual Convention and Expo are invited to join SimpleNexus for a welcome reception co-hosted by Notarize and Regorra at the San Diego Wine and Culinary Center on Sunday, October 17, from 7:30 to 10:00 p.m. PT. Schreiner Gates and Brewer will be on hand to meet with those who wish to learn about the acquisition.

Brewer is also a featured speaker at the conference. On Tuesday, October 19, she will join Success Mortgage Partners CEO Owen Lee and iEmergent CEO Laird Nossuli for a session designed to teach lenders how to manage costs and make smart staffing decisions with operational data and key performance indicators (KPIs). "Balancing Your Talent Pool" takes place from 1:30-2:30 p.m. in Room 1 on the Convention Center's Upper Level.

Auto Show Sales & Finance Wins Top Choice Award Winner For Third Consecutive Year – Voted Best Used Truck Dealership in the 2021 Top Choice Award Survey

WINNIPEG, Manitoba /ScoopCloud/ -- Auto Show Sales & Finance is excited to announce they have been selected as Manitoba's Consumer Choice Award winner for the 2021/2022 calendar year. This marks Auto Show's third year recognized by Consumers Choice as the best truck sales & leasing dealership in Winnipeg and its first year winning in multiple categories - being selected as the best pre-owned automotive dealership in Winnipeg.

"2021 was a challenging year for nearly everyone worldwide, both emotionally and financially. We feel extremely fortunate to have been able to retain our existing staff and continue to grow in the face of these headwinds, offering new employment opportunities to Manitobans and helping families put food on the table," said Joe Kupfer, Partner. "This year saw us ship vehicles to clients across North America, Europe, and the Middle East. The local support, especially though has been tremendous - thank you so much Manitoba for paying us a visit in your used car or used truck search!"

Heading into 2022, the company is well-positioned to continue its rapid growth with further expansion of its financial services division, in addition to its RV and leisure division now encompassing four new franchise lines. With annual sales approaching $50M, and in-stock inventory averaging three hundred or more products to choose from, Auto Show has steadily evolved to be Central Canada's largest independent automotive & RV dealership.

Development continues on their high-profile 25-acre property with the construction of expanded service facilities and selection of one or more franchised dealerships as strategic partners. "There are numerous synergies to be had partnering with a strong franchised new-car retailer. They would be advantaged by capturing a large volume of parts and service revenue from our pre-owned reconditioning operations, in addition to the manufacturer's recall work, pre and post-sale warranty work, autobody income, and likely referral business to a buy-here-pay-here program," explains Joe Kupfer. "In return, our pre-owned team would benefit from superior access to lease-return portfolios and manufacturer-exclusive supply lines, as well as OEM captive finance programs. It's a great opportunity for both parties should we sign a partner whose business values align with ours and something we're looking forward to announcing in 2022."

It can be found on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Pandora and all other streaming platforms. It is also available on Amazon and the iTunes Store for download as a mp3.

"You Will Always Be There" is about a relationship destined to end and the struggle someone has when they resist that reality. In the music video, Sue doesn't take out the violin and say feel sorry for me. Rather she has fun with it.

As Sue explains, "Now, I was much younger when I wrote this one...that explains the naivety at best or the delusion at worst. I certainly know now all relationships must eventually end. Well, this is cool because at my age...and some of you know what that is...I get to play a desperate, afraid to be alone, afraid of not being loved, afraid of not belonging, afraid of not being or doing enough, afraid of being afraid type of person. Perfect!"

Sue Larsen is an independent artist who has been crafting songs for over forty years. She has recreated herself learning and doing the pieces of this "DIY" music business as an independent artist and she is hoping others may be inspired to change what they are doing or being after seeing her story. As Sue explains, "No matter what age you are, following your dreams, passions, or creative ideas is always a possibility if one is willing to do the work. I know so many people who feel stuck or caged in by their own choices and beliefs. There are always choices although, they may not be easy to make."

Sue Larsen is out of North Castle, New York and has lived in Westchester County, N.Y., her entire life. She has been in the music business for 40 plus years as a performer/songwriter and she retired a couple of years ago from her human resource position so that she could learn what was needed in regards to this "new" DIY music business.

She set up her own publishing and recording company, Bijoux Music Group LLC, and has a home studio. She has been her own producer and engineer for the recording, mixing, and mastering of her previously released songs and the track she just released. She also performed all the vocals and instrumentation on each song. Ms. Larsen also learned how to produce and edit the music videos for her songs.

She released "Sleeping Alone Again" in Dec. of 2020 and it made it to Pandora's premium services and radio play so, as she put it, "Being it was my first attempt at this, I thought that was pretty cool." Her second song, "Hardly Hiding," a song about unexpected love, was featured on WHUD 100.7 FM along with an interview with host Andy Bale this past April.

About Bijoux Music Group LLC:

Bijoux Music Group LLC(R) is a registered trademark in the US and is a publishing company and record label. It also supplies live music in the greater New York area and creates audio-visual presentations for personal and business use.

About Sue Larsen:

Sue Larsen has reinvented herself within her 40+ years in the entertainment field and has come full circle. From performing her own songs starting at the age of 17 in NYC nightclubs, to performing "cover songs" for a myriad of events and gatherings, back to songwriting and producing her own songs for worldwide distribution. It is Ms. Larsen's hope that her songs may resonate with others and help people heal from their more challenging experiences.

Nate Morris Endows Fellowship at George Washington University

WASHINGTON, D.C. /ScoopCloud/ -- The Center for the Study of the Presidency and Congress (CSPC) is proud to announce The Nate Morris Fellowship at George Washington University, the third endowed Presidential Fellowship launched in collaboration with Morris, an alumnus of the Presidential Fellows program.

Each of the fellowships are being funded by the Morris Foundation. Other Nate Morris Fellowships have been established at the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs and the University of Kentucky's Gatton College of Business and Economics. All three provide leadership development opportunities for students at each institution of higher education.

The Center for the Study of the Presidency and Congress created the Presidential Fellows Program in 1970 to inspire higher education students to become the public servants that would guide our nation's future. The Presidential Fellows program provides top collegiate students with a year-long opportunity to study the U.S. presidency, the public policymaking process, and our president's relationships with Congress, the media, and the American public. Former NATO Ambassador David Abshire created the modern iteration of the center.

"We are delighted to launch our third Presidential Fellowship in partnership with Nate and the Morris Foundation. Together, these contributions represent some of the most significant investments in the Presidential Fellows program in its more than 50-year history. We thank Nate for his continued support and commitment to developing the next generation of public service leaders," said CSPC President & CEO, former Representative Glenn Nye.

Morris is a member of the Board of Trustees of the Center for the Study of the Presidency and Congress.

Morris, of Lexington, Kentucky, is the founder and CEO of Rubicon, a widely acclaimed software and technology company setting a new industry standard and dubbed "America's technology company" operating in the waste and recycling industry. Morris is a graduate of George Washington, and he recently attended George Washington's bicentennial celebration, where he was recognized as one of the university's monumental alumni alongside current United States Senators Tammy Duckworth, Mark Warner, and Elizabeth Warren. Others so honored included former United States Secretary of State Colin Powell, former United States Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, and former United States House Majority Leader Eric Cantor.

"Professors like me take pride when students like Nate Morris grow up into great Americans," said former George Washington University President Stephen J. Trachtenberg. "They remind us what we were thinking when we became teachers and that reminds us what academic life is at its best."

Morris came to George Washington University as a Scottish Rite Scholar. He was also selected as a member of the Watergate 723 living and learning community to study the Watergate era and its impact on American politics. He was elected Phi Beta Kappa. Morris was also part of the historic Presidential Online Town Hall with Bill Clinton held on George Washington's campus while he was a student, the first-ever engagement between an American President and the public through the internet.

While a full-time student, Morris worked in the United States House of Representatives and Senate, the United States Department of Labor, and the White House. In addition, he worked on several Federal and State campaigns.

"I believe that developing leadership opportunities through this fellowship program is critical to America's continued leadership globally," said Morris. "I am grateful to the Center for the Study of the Presidency and Congress for their vision in establishing this initiative."

About Nate Morris

Nate Morris is the chairman and founder of Lexington, Kentucky-based Morris Industries, and its signature asset, Rubicon, a widely acclaimed software company focused on waste and recycling.

He is also the youngest inductee ever to the Kentucky Entrepreneur Hall of Fame.

Disparaged US President Herbert Hoover Was a Great Humanitarian

DENVER, Colo. /ScoopCloud/ -- Herbert Hoover's fall from grace during his presidency (1928-1932) has been well documented, but his initial rise to greatness -- when he became known to the world as a Great Humanitarian -- has all but been forgotten, according to "Yanks behind the Lines" (ISBN 978-1538141649; Rowman & Littlefield) author Jeffrey B. Miller, who is the first historian in more than thirty years to focus his three award-winning nonfiction books on Hoover's WWI efforts in German-occupied Belgium.

On October 22, 1914, less than three months after the start of World War I, successful mining engineer Herbert Hoover founded in London the Commission for Relief in Belgium (CRB). The CRB with its Belgian counterpart, the Comité National (CN), created the largest food relief program the world had ever since -- saving from starvation for the four years of war nearly 10 million civilians trapped behind German lines. The relief cost nearly $1 billion WWI dollars ($24 billion in 2021).

One of America's finest hours in humanitarian relief was made possible by CRB "delegates," neutral American volunteers who went into German-occupied Belgium to guarantee the Germans did not take the food and ensure fair distribution to all civilians. The youngest U.S. delegate was only 19 years old.

Ultimately, the CRB helped change the way Americans saw themselves and how the world saw America.

Margaret Hoover, host of PBS's Firing Line with Margaret Hoover and great granddaughter of Herbert Hoover, says "It will be a revelation for many Americans to discover Jeff Miller's excellent account of the 'piratical state organized for benevolence,' which helped position the United States as a moral force for good in the world at the outbreak of the twentieth century's first world war."

"Yanks behind the Lines: How the Commission for Relief in Belgium Saved Millions from Starvation during World War I" chronicles the CRB, the CRB delegates, and Belgium under the harsh German rule.

The book is a 2021 Publishers Weekly Editor's Pick, a Colorado Humanities 2021 Colorado Book Award winner, a finalist in four national contests, and Kirkus Reviews declares, "This is a powerful work of history . . . An impressive blend of painstaking historical scholarship and riveting storytelling."

About the author, the book, and the publisher:

Based in Denver, Colo., Jeffrey B. Miller is a journalist and independent historian who has spent the last 10 years researching and writing about the CRB, CN, and German-occupied Belgium. "Yanks behind the Lines" is a fascinating summary of the CRB story. Structured thematically with chapters dedicated to all the critical issues, the book contains individual personal stories that are interwoven into the big picture to create a compelling read about this little-known but hugely important humanitarian program. Rowman & Littlefield publishes high-quality college texts, entertaining and informative books for general readers, and professional and scholarly books in the humanities and social sciences.

NJ Lenders to roll out HomeBinder home management platform

BOSTON, Mass. /ScoopCloud/ -- HomeBinder, a centralized home management platform that keeps homeowners connected with mortgage lenders, Realtors and other authorized professionals, today announced that NJ Lenders has selected HomeBinder to deliver a post-closing home management experience that improves customer retention and strengthens referral partner relationships.

NJ Lenders is an independent mortgage bank that has helped more than 125,000 families in fourteen states and the District of Columbia achieve their homeownership dreams over the course of its 30 years in business. With HomeBinder, NJ Lenders will replace the three-ring binder of loan documents it has long presented to customers with a personalized, cloud-based home management platform that helps homeowners care for their home and track its value over time.

HomeBinder features include an interactive to-do list and organizational tools such as centralized document storage, maintenance history, home improvement projects, appliance models, property details and photos. The platform also keeps contact information for loan officers, Realtors and other home service providers at homeowners' fingertips throughout the homeownership journey for increased referral and repeat business.

"HomeBinder offers tremendous value as a tool today's consumer will use again and again, long after moving into the home," said Steven Grossman, owner of NJ Lenders. "Moreover, as a lender that's built our model around repeat and referral business, we love giving our Realtor referral partners an opportunity to have their brand presented alongside ours every time a consumer accesses their HomeBinder."

Added Grossman, "HomeBinder is a great tool to present to buyers at closing. We used to create literal binders to collate loan documents, insurance info and contact information for the loan officer, Realtor and attorney and then ship them out via UPS. It was a massive undertaking that required a team of interns, and it only delivered a fraction of the value of HomeBinder."

"HomeBinder makes an excellent closing gift, but it's also so much more than that," said HomeBinder Chief Strategy Officer Pete Paglia. "Mortgage companies like NJ Lenders are embracing HomeBinder as an educational tool for first-time homebuyers, a wealth-building tool for protecting the value of the asset, a customer retention tool that keeps lenders top of mind and a relationship-building strategy that referral partners will love."

Depth Public Relations promotes Johnna Szegda and Jenny Moss to client services director

ATLANTA, Ga. /ScoopCloud/ -- Depth Public Relations, Inc. (DepthPR), a leading provider of consultative marketing, public relations and reputation management services for mortgage fintech innovators, the residential finance industry and technology for emerging regulated markets (regtech), today announced its promotion of two key staff members in time to celebrate at the Mortgage Bankers Association's Annual Convention & Expo 2021 in San Diego.

Promoted to client services director are Johnna Szegda and Jenny Moss, who both joined the firm in 2018 as client service managers and immediately assumed integral roles in the delivery of client-facing services including writing and content creation, industry media and grassroot relations and frontline client relationship management. In their elevated roles, Szegda and Moss are responsible for delivering deep strategic guidance and broader industry relations for their client relationships as well as supporting broader agency growth initiatives.

"Just to be clear, promoting both Johnna and Jenny is not the result of DepthPR's growth," said firm Founder and President Kerri S. Milam. "Rather, our firm is growing because Johnna and Jenny have put their shoulders and minds to the wheel in serving our clients, putting into practice our fundamental principles of strategic planning, project management, superior writing and content development and end-of-the-day accountability. That is why we have promoted them."

Szegda joined DepthPR in Q1 2018 following an initial six-month contract engagement with the firm. Previously, she served as program and operations coordinator for a not-for-profit focused on building women's political power and civic engagement. She served as a supplemental instructor for introductory philosophy courses as she earned her bachelor's degree in English at Georgia State University.

Moss joined DepthPR in Q4 2018 after serving as a marketing and communications specialist with a metro-Atlanta mortgage banking firm and as assistant director of media relations at Mercer University in Macon, Georgia. Moss holds a master's degree in sports management and policy and a bachelor's degree in public relations, both from The University of Georgia in Athens, Georgia.

"It has been a great pleasure working alongside Johnna and Jenny for the last three-plus years," said DepthPR Vice President of Client Services Leslie Colley. "These are women who put their shrewd minds and sharp pencils to work every day to create the best possible outcomes for our clients. They are also fabulously unique individuals who have contributed significantly to the culture of our growing agency. Their promotion is well deserved."

"I have had the privilege of watching Jenny and Johnna mature into zealous client advocates and astute PR practitioners," said DepthPR Vice President of Client Services Lindsey Neal.

FormFree applauds new Fannie Mae positive rent payment history enhancement to Desktop Underwriter as major advancement in homeownership access

ATHENS, Ga. /ScoopCloud/ -- ormFree® Founder and CEO Brent Chandler today released a statement commending Fannie Mae's efforts to remove barriers to homeownership by adding a positive rent payment history feature to Desktop Underwriter® (DU®).

The feature, which went into effect September 18, is designed to expand sustainable homeownership - particularly for renters with limited credit history. The feature is anticipated to benefit prospective homebuyers and mortgage lenders alike by increasing the number of applicants who receive an Approve/Eligible recommendation in DU.

"According to Fannie Mae research, factoring in first-time homebuyers' history of consistent rent payments is one significant difference between the lender qualifying and not qualifying applicants for a mortgage," said Steve Pawlowski, senior vice president of Fannie Mae Single-Family Products and Solutions. "Digital technology enables us to pull the data necessary to unlock more homeownership opportunities for qualified renters. Enhancements to Desktop Underwriter such as this one are a step toward making meaningful change."

Using verification of asset (VOA) reports supplied by authorized report suppliers like FormFree, DU automatically identifies recurring rent payments and takes them into consideration when assessing credit eligibility for certain, qualified first-time homebuyers. Only positive rent payment history is considered; DU does not evaluate late or missing rent payments or count them against a borrower.

Lenders using FormFree's AccountChek® VOA reports in conjunction with Desktop Underwriter have already begun taking advantage of positive rent payment history without disrupting current workflows.

"Back in 2015, FormFree identified rent payments as highly relevant to determining a consumer's ability to pay," said Chandler. "In the years since, we've independently developed and honed algorithms that can isolate rent payments in direct-source checking account data with great veracity. We applaud Fannie Mae for embracing this kind of technology as a tool for helping break the cycle of systemic racism that widens homeownership, wealth and quality-of-life gaps."

As a longtime authorized report supplier for the DU validation service, FormFree has an extended history of providing asset data for lenders to verify borrower eligibility. FormFree has also enhanced AccountChek with proprietary features that may not be available in competing VOA solutions. For instance, lenders do not have to order a 12-month AccountChek VOA report to supply 12 months of rent payment history to DU; instead, this feature is available with AccountChek reports of any length, including 30-, 60-, 90- and 180-day reports.

In addition, AccountChek has safeguards in place to ensure the collection of 12-month rent payment history does not unnecessarily expose lenders to non-rent transactions, such as large gift deposits, that occurred more than 90 days but less than 12 months in the past.

For more information about positive rent payment history, visit https://www.fanniemae.com/positive-rent-payments.

Current AccountChek customers who have questions about taking advantage of this feature should contact their FormFree account representative.

FormFree® is a market-leading fintech company whose revolutionary products AccountChek® and Passport® make for a more inclusive credit decisioning landscape by enabling lenders to understand people's true ability to pay (ATP®). Our vision is to leverage source data and data-driven intelligence to usher in a new era of transparent, fair and liquid credit markets. To date, thousands of U.S. lenders and brokers have ordered millions of FormFree's patented verification reports representing trillions of dollars in loan verifications.

Current Builders Launches ESOP to Retain and Attract Top Construction Employees

POMPANO BEACH, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- Current Builders ( https://www.currentbuilders.com/ ), an award-winning general contractor based in Florida, has announced an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) as part of the company's strategy to retain and attract top construction employees. The shortage of qualified workers in the construction industry continues to be a persistent national issue, but Current Builders' CFO Rick Colandreo believes that initiatives, such as his company's recently launched ESOP, will place his firm in an advantageous position to meet the tremendous demand for multifamily and mixed-use housing in Florida.

"According to the state's CFO, Jimmy Patronis, almost 1,000 people a day have been moving to Florida, so the need for new construction is enormous," stated Colandreo, whose firm has offices in both the east and west coasts of Florida. "To meet this demand, we felt that creating a benefit-rich environment for our employees was essential. After months of research and consulting with leading professionals in the realm, Current Builders is proud to have launched this employee stock ownership plan."

As CFO, Colandreo is tasked with long-term planning for the company, including succession planning and expanding opportunities for growth. After conducting a valuation of the company, reviewing past performance and the future potential, Colandreo and CEO Michael Taylor approached the partners about selling a percentage of their shares to launch the ESOP. The partners retained 51.2% of the company, therefore allowing 48.8% of the stock to be sold in the ESOP.

Credits will be allocated to employees based upon longevity and salary. Eligibility begins after one year of employment and is open to a wide range of employees, including hourly laborers, receptionists and all levels of management, as long as the key criteria have been met. This program is above and beyond Current Builders' already generous benefit programs which include a 401k, health insurance, disability insurance, life insurance and a bonus program.

"We chose an ESOP because it rewards diligence and loyalty," continued Colandreo. "Employees who remain with our firm long-term will reap tremendous financial benefits and will feel an even greater sense of pride because they are not just a person who works for a construction company, they are a part-owner of Current Builders."

ABOUT CURRENT BUILDERS:

Current Builders is an award-winning general contractor, established in 1972 with average annual revenues of $250 Million. Current Builders specializes in multi-family residential projects, retail facilities, office/warehouse buildings, commercial distribution facilities, parking garages, interior build-outs, interior and exterior renovations, all included as turnkey projects inclusive of the construction of the buildings and related site work.
