Free Online Scientology Courses in 18 Languages Can Help Mentors Equip Youth for Success

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- For UN World Youth Skills Day, celebrated July 15, the Church of Scientology International provides skills training resources for mentors, nonprofits and community programs to help youth improve their ability to learn new skills and survive in today's competitive and challenging world. These are available free of charge on the Scientology website at Scientology.org/courses.

According to the United Nations, youth employment fell 8.7 percent in 2020, and "young people aged 15-24 have been even more severely affected by the COVID-19 crisis than adults." This underscores the importance of World Youth Skills Day, celebrated annually since 2014.

In alignment with the purpose of this UN day, to "celebrate the strategic importance of equipping young people with skills for employment, decent work and entrepreneurship," the Church of Scientology International shares this free training. Available in 18 languages, these courses are based on technology developed by Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard to improve the quality of life.

Youth face different challenges in developing countries than those living in centers of commerce and industry, but no matter the culture or environment, these are basic skills to help youth succeed.

Each is introduced with a brief video that previews the skills covered in the course.

They can be viewed on the Scientology website, Scientology.org/courses, and the Scientology Network at Scentology.tv.

There are 19 courses in all on the Scientology website, but those that relate most to forwarding the goals of World Youth Skills Day cover:
* How to learn, understand and successfully apply the skills of any subject
* The exact formula of successful communication and how to vastly improve the ability to communicate with anyone
* Tools for the workplace to help overcome exhaustion and regain enthusiasm for work
* How to set targets and achieve goals
* How to organize any activity for success
* Precise formulas to follow to improve conditions in any aspect of work or life
* How to discover the real reason behind failure and turn it around
* The key to gaining support from others for ideas and endeavors

Students move through courses at their own pace. Course materials are also integrated within the online course, and all are available free of charge. Anyone needing assistance with course assignments is welcome to contact the online course supervisor using a "Need help?" button.

"The Tools for the Workplace course was a great experience," wrote one student on completion of the course. "It was certainly a powerful read. It helped me realize that I could very easily overcome confusion, and better familiarize myself with and utilize any kind of machine or object I may be working with."

The Communication Course helped another student learn to "look for signs in other people that say they don't understand, and how to communicate properly so they will understand... So many people think that if they're talking, they're communicating, but there's so much more to it."

"Now I have much more understanding of my working environment and I can also help others," said yet another student.

Each of these courses on Scientology.org is based on technology developed by L. Ron Hubbard for bringing about positive change in the conditions of an individual's life. None of these courses depend on beliefs or faith. In Scientology, the emphasis is squarely on an exact application of its principles toward the improvement of one's life and the world in which we live.

The founder of the Scientology religion is L. Ron Hubbard and Mr. David Miscavige is the religion's ecclesiastical leader.

Kalyagen Announces Release of Free eBook on How to Optimize Health Using Stem Cells

AUSTIN, Texas /ScoopCloud/ -- Kalyagen® has announced the release and availability of a free eBook, "The Stemregen Effect - Tapping into the Power of Your Own Stem Cells," which provides an overview of how stem cells are the body's repair system and how STEMREGEN®, a natural stem cell enhancer, has been documented to increase the number of circulating stem cells by stimulating Endogenous Stem Cell Mobilization (ESCM).

"Supporting stem cell physiology is a new paradigm in health and wellness," said Christian Drapeau, CEO and Chief Scientist of Kalyagen®. "The latest scientific evidence indicates that this may very well be the best strategy to assist the body in regaining and maintaining optimal health."

The link between a lower number of circulating stem cells and the development of age-related diseases has been well-studied with numerous degenerative conditions, including diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, atherosclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, rheumatoid arthritis, pulmonary diseases, erectile dysfunction, and kidney disease. Increasing the number of circulating stem cells has been documented to enhance tissue repair or improve the course of disease formation in cases of acute myocardial infarction and many other degenerative conditions.

"Kalyagen has been inundated with questions regarding the stem cell repair system and how STEMREGEN naturally helps the body to release stems cells," said Herbert Dogan, CMO of Kalyagen®. "We are pleased to announce the release of our new publication which helps to answer all of these questions."

The eBook is available for download for free at https://www.kalyagen.com/the-stemregen-effect/.

STEMREGEN® is a unique and patent-pending blend of proprietary plant-based extracts documented to support ESCM and increase the number of circulating stem cells, supporting the natural ability of the body to repair and stay healthy. Ingredients in STEMREGEN® have been investigated in more than eight clinical studies for their effect on stem cell function, of which five were randomized, double- blind, placebo-controlled human clinical trials. STEMREGEN® has wide application in antiaging and overall health maintenance.

About Kalyagen

Kalyagen® was founded by Christian Drapeau, author of the bestseller Cracking the Stem Cell Code. Kalyagen® is a leader in the research and development of natural products aimed at supporting stem cell function of the body. Stem cells constitute the natural repair system of the body, and stem cell enhancers have been documented to strongly contribute to improving health and quality of life. STEMREGEN® is the first product developed by Kalyagen®. STEMREGEN® is a unique blend of proprietary plant-based extracts documented to support Endogenous Stem Cell Mobilization and provide other health benefits.

Sacramento SPCA Receives Lifesaving Investment from Newly Named Petco Love for the Zoe K. McCrea Animal Health Center

SACRAMENTO, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- The Sacramento SPCA announced today that they received a $15,000 grant investment from Petco Love, to support their lifesaving work for animals through the newly constructed Zoe K. McCrea Animal Health Center.

A check presentation was held at the Petco retail store located at 855 E Bidwell Street in Folsom, California on Friday, July 9 at 11 a.m.

The Sacramento SPCA applied for the lifesaving investment as part of a year-long fundraising campaign to complete construction of the new state-of-the-art animal hospital located at 6201 Florin Perkins Road in Sacramento.

A remodel of the shelter's administrative office and sick bay building began in May 2020, renovations were complete in January 2021 and the Zoe K. McCrea Animal Health Center performed its first public surgeries in late January.

The expanded facility has allowed the Sacramento SPCA to immediately increase public access to low-cost and no-cost spay/neuter surgeries, vaccinations, and preventative care for animals in the Sacramento region and beyond.

The Kristan Otto Shelter Medicine Program, with species-specific housing for sick and injured animals; an isolation ward for managing contagious diseases; and examination, laboratory, and treatment space, is also located inside the new Zoe K. McCrea Animal Health Center.

"We are incredibly grateful for our partnership with the Petco Folsom store and Petco Love to support our lifesaving work in the new health center," said Kenn Altine, Sacramento SPCA CEO. "With Petco Love's local and national support, we can provide expanded access to low-cost preventative care to our community's pets, help animals get into homes faster and save more lives."

Petco Love is a nonprofit leading change for pets nationally by harnessing the power of love to make communities and pet families closer, stronger, and healthier. Since their founding in 1999 as the Petco Foundation, they've empowered organizations with $300 million invested to date in adoption and other lifesaving efforts. And, they've helped find loving homes for more than 6.5 million pets in partnership with Petco and more than 4,000 organizations, like the Sacramento SPCA, nationwide.

"Today Petco Love announces an investment in the Sacramento SPCA and hundreds of other organizations as part of our commitment to create a future in which no pet is unnecessarily euthanized," said Susanne Kogut, President of Petco Love. "Our local investments are only one component. In April, we also launched the first of our national tools to empower all animal lovers to drive lifesaving change right alongside us."

The discontinuation of the Green Power Providers program from the Tennessee Valley Authority for funding private solar installation programs is also a contributing factor in Tri-State Electrical's decision.

"There is a lot of demand right now for industrial and especially commercial electrical projects, " said Tri-State Electrical Contractor spokeswoman Candice Neal. "A lot of businesses have waited until the COVID-19 pandemic has receded before initiating new electrical projects."

Now that business seems to be on the rebound, many companies see a need to upgrade or retrofit their current electrical systems, or even design new electrical systems to expand existing business.

There has been a tremendous demand for the following services:

* Upgrading Signage and Lighting - Clear, colorful signs and bright, energy-saving LED lights to make it easier for customers to find your business and the goods and services within it.

* Electrical Load Analysis - Reduced operating hours and a need to cut costs have led many businesses to look at ways to save money. Conserving energy by taking action on the results of an electrical load analysis results in significant cost savings.

* Generator Installation Because of severe winter storms and record-breaking heat waves that have slammed into the Southeastern US this year, the electrical grid has been under considerable stress. Many businesses cannot afford to be without power, so many of them are investing in commercial and industrial generators.

"This pent-up demand for commercial and industrial electrical work made us step back and take a closer look at what our customers wanted, and as it turned out, this was fewer solar technology installations and more commercial and industrial electrical work right now," said Neal.

InstantPublisher Adds Warehousing and Fulfillment Services to Quarantine Writing Advice and Book Self-Publishing Services Discount

COLLIERVILLE, Tenn. /ScoopCloud/ -- InstantPublisher.com is proud to add warehousing and fulfillment services to its line of self-publishing services. Why did InstantPublisher add these services for their customers? Printed books, especially hardcover books, take up a lot of space. Storing books in an author's garage or basement might not be an option. In addition, some authors, especially for books delivered by businesses, encounter a lack of proper, climate-controlled warehouse space to store their books.

Another way that warehousing and fulfillment services may benefit self-publishing customers is that few print-on-demand companies will offer print-on-demand services for hardcover books, wire-bound books, or custom-sized books with embellishments such as foil stamping and special coating. These books also require proper storage.

Another warehouse and fulfillment service InstantPublisher.com offers is kitting. Kitting is when you bundle multiple pieces in an order, such as multiple book titles or custom-printed advertising pieces, and ship them as packages together.

"Our customers asked for this service, so we found a way to make it happen," says Chris Bradley, President of InstantPublisher.com. "Our warehouse and fullfillment services addresses a need for some of our self-publishing and our custom commercial printing services customers."

Please keep in mind that warehousing and fulfillment is not necessary for all customers. If you or your business only sell a couple of books a month, it makes more sense to be to store the and ship the books yourself until you build your sales up.

About InstantPublisher.com

InstantPublisher.com is the short-run printing and book publishing division of Fundcraft Print Group located in Collierville, Tennessee.

TruckDriverJobs411.com Steps Up to Meet Employment Shortage During National Trucking Industry Surge

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- The Federal government's recently proposed infrastructure program is projected to create nearly 3 million new commercial truck driving jobs. That's why platforms such as TruckDriverJobs411.com, the original and free trucking jobs' board, are hustling to meet the growing employment demands. TruckDriverJobs411.com, a website owned and operated by Western Truck Insurance Services, Inc. has recently overhauled its job board site to ensure drivers and owner operators are efficiently matched with jobs.

This unprecedented surge in truck driver demand comes as shippers are already hard-pressed to find drivers. The good news is that Western Truck Insurance Services, Inc. predicted this current driver shortage early on and had the foresight to create an easier way for people to connect.

"The demand is reaching critical proportions," Bob Holtzman, president, Western Truck Insurance Services, Inc. says. "In fact, some analysts predict fuel and food shortages this summer if trucking jobs are not filled. We're stepping up to fill the void."

So, while the need for drivers is imminent, TruckDriverJobs411.com is ready to go thanks to a major facelift by Technique Web, LLC, a web design and application development company. Interface improvements include improved user-friendliness, efficiency and matching accuracy.

The website's improved mobile-friendly design makes it easier for drivers and owner operators to connect with employers while they're on the road. There's no app to install and the algorithms improve matching and ensure user accounts and job postings are current.

TruckDriverJobs411.com also ensures that its users will not experience pop-ups or paid listings. Its mission is and will remain to help industry participants connect more efficiently, at zero cost and without favoritism.

Finally, setting up an account to access the job board for job providers, truck drivers, and owner operators takes just minutes. It's easy to do and free. And, once the account is up and running, job seekers can apply for a job in a single click.

"At this critical time in the trucking industry, the need for speed is essential," Holtzman says. "Our long-term investment in TruckDriverJobs411.com is just one way that we're continuing to help the trucking industry."

Fusion Broadband embraces Equinix in global expansion of its SD-WAN service

SORRENTO, Victoria, Australia /ScoopCloud/ -- Leading SD-WAN provider, Fusion Broadband, has expanded into Equinix, which will give it a significantly larger global footprint and enable it to offer customers enhanced performance and more advanced connectivity options.

Equinix is a leading digital infrastructure company operating more than 220 data centres in 26 countries on five continents.

As the networking requirements of global businesses become more sophisticated, Fusion Broadband identified a need to support their customers' growth by leveraging Equinix and offering greater WAN connectivity through direct access to a multitude of cloud providers such as AWS, Azure, Google, IBM, Alibaba and Oracle.

Jason Maude, managing director of Fusion Broadband, said the new arrangement with Equinix(R) and Equinix Metal(TM) will allow the company to quickly and easily provide dedicated SD-WAN gateways in more than 50 location points globally.

"With our unique SD-WAN orchestration platform customers are able to deploy SD-WAN sites and gateways in minuets, as well as enable direct connections with the majority of the major cloud providers. They can be self-managed or our team of SD-WAN specialists can manage them for the customer. Dedicated private backbones between regions can also be provisioned for customers adding a greater level of performance and security.

"With Equinix Fabric, we can offer global or national customers faster and more flexible access to all of the cloud services and partners that are on the Platform Equinix. This allows customers to extend the reach of their SD-WAN network not only globally but also with direct access into the world's largest cloud service providers."

As an example, a customer that prefers to have a dedicated environment (as opposed to a shared multi-tenant environment) for its offices in each region may elect to have one or two POPs in each region, which very easily allows a private backbone between POPs to be created that can support speeds from tens of Mbps through to 10-20Gbps.

"By combining the benefits of our POP infrastructure from IBM Cloud and now Equinix, we have a significantly larger global footprint," Maude said.

"Our SD-WAN managed service business already supports over 100 multi-tenant gateways around the world. The addition of Equinix will allow us to further expand this with the ability to deploy dedicated gateways for customers or dedicated private connections between SD-WAN gateways. It can be set up within a matter of hours."

With Equinix's private backbone, Fusion Broadband's international customers can now easily build their own private backbone between their Fusion Broadband SD-WAN gateways - either dedicated or multi-tenant -- where backbone capacity can be scaled up and down as required. These private backbone links offer guaranteed performance and security between gateways.

"The ability to quickly turn on direct links via Equinix or even Megaport's peering fabrics means we can provide customers with a tremendous amount of connection and SD-WAN flexibility," Maude added.

FormFree integrates AccountChek 3n1 one-stop VOE/VOIE into Encompass®

ATHENS, Ga. /ScoopCloud/ -- FormFree® has partnered with ICE Mortgage Technology™, part of Intercontinental Exchange, Inc. (NYSE: ICE), a leading global provider of data, technology and market infrastructure,  to make its AccountChek 3n1 asset, income and employment verification service available in Encompass®, the mortgage industry's leading cloud-based loan origination platform.

The seamless API integration allows lenders to order, manage and review verification of asset (VOA) and verification of income/employment (VOIE) reports with a single provider selection in Encompass. By consolidating VOA and VOIE orders through a single vendor, mortgage lenders improve efficiency in the loan origination process, reduce per-loan costs and streamline vendor due diligence.

FormFree's AccountChek 3n1 securely delivers direct-source VOA and VOI/E data in less than a minute, significantly shortening loan application timelines and collecting critical underwriting documents earlier in the application process.

VOA (Asset Report)

For over 10 years, FormFree VOA has helped borrowers skip the paper chase when qualifying for a loan. Borrowers send their direct-source financial data straight to lenders in an underwriting-friendly format that reduces delays, manual errors and fraud risk. Real-time insight into borrowers' assets, income and employment enables better credit decisioning.

Key features include:

* Average connection time of just 22 seconds

* Available with 30, 60, 90 and 180-day refresh periods

* Government-sponsored enterprise (GSE) rep and warrant relief eligible

VOIE (Income and Employment Report)

Several of today's popular VOI and VOE solutions have a success rate of less than 50%, requiring lenders to fall back on manual verification processes that are slow and result in a diminished borrower experience. FormFree's VOIE product covers 85% of all U.S. workers (over 100 million wage earners), saving lenders time and improving margins.

Key features include:

* Flat pricing significantly lower than market alternatives

* Up to 6 most recent pay stubs and 2 years of W-2s

* One free report refresh prior to close

"Now mortgage lenders can get all three core verifications - assets, income and employment - from one trusted partner within the familiar Encompass environment," said FormFree CEO Brent Chandler. "By combining VOA and VOIE, FormFree's AccountChek 3n1 eliminates the cost and headache of managing multiple vendors, helps loan teams work more efficiently and delivers a world-class borrower experience that expedites pre-approvals and increases loan pull-through."

About FormFree®

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®). 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.

West Bloomfield Med Spa Establishes New Location

WEST BLOOMFIELD, Mich. /ScoopCloud/ -- Pristine Rejuvenation, located in West Bloomfield, recently converted from a mobile medical aesthetics practice created in early 2020 at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic to a more permanent location to serve its clients in a greater capacity.

Now located at 5642 W. Maple Rd., Suite 24 in West Bloomfield, Pristine Rejuvenation is the brainchild of Nurse Anesthetist and skilled injector Eman Dahmani, APRN, CRNA, who says the new location offers more for her clients in the greater Detroit area.

"Our new facility offers a fresh, charming, and comfortable environment for clients," Dahmani said. "While it's still going to feature all the treatments they know and love, you can also expect a few extras thanks to the additional space."

Pristine Rejuvenation offers injectable treatments, such Botox, Xeomin, and dermal fillers, among others, to treat wrinkles, volume loss, sagging skin, and various other signs of aging.

With that ability to add treatment options, Dahmani says she can now meet even more diverse aesthetic goals to help broaden her client base. But treatments aren't the only thing Dahmani is looking forward to expanding. She's also excited to offer more medical-grade skincare products from her choice brand of AnteAGE.

"AnteAGE is a highly effective system of skincare products backed by decades of clinical research, and it's the go-to for my patients," she said. "These potent products contain human growth factor cytokines to combat a myriad of skin conditions that are amplified by the aging process."

In addition to her expertise with a plethora of nonsurgical beautification treatments and access to a complete line of trusted skin care, Dahmani says it's the one-on-one patient interactions that are truly pivotal for her overall business model, an aspect of her care she says will always remain a priority.

"Beauty takes time. That's why you won't experience rushed in-and-out appointments that may occur at other practices," she said. "I make sure to spend ample time with every patient to ensure they understand all facets of their treatment and have a clear grasp of what to expect. Each patient has a story behind what they're wanting to improve, and it's interesting for me trying to find that out. It really helps us understand each other. My new location offers a better environment to establish those bonds."

Pristine Rejuvenation offers premier medical aesthetic treatments, such as anti-wrinkle injections (Botox®, Xeomin®, and Dysport), dermal fillers, chemical peels, microneedling, and skin care, with a goal of continually striving to provide the latest advancements in nonsurgical skin rejuvenation.

CEO/President of the California Black Chamber of Commerce, Jay King, Liaisons Critical Support for Small Business Landmark, Hawkins House of Burgers

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Not many small Black businesses can boast five generations of family operation. But more importantly, Hawkins House of Burgers, (http://www.hawkinsburgers.com/ ) established in 1939, has maintained decades of community service to its surrounding neighborhood, Watts, CA. So, when current restaurateur Cynthia Hawkins found herself on the other end of a Caltrans state issued decree requiring the removal of part of their building, so a 500 square foot patch of land beneath it could be appraised and sold at public auction, her terror was palatable.

Having barely survived operations during Covid, to now being confronted with this challenge, was like the onslaught of facing another pandemic all over again. Fortunately for the Hawkins family business, former Compton resident A.K. King, got wind of the dilemma via social media and reached out to Jay King, the CEO/President of the California Black Chamber of Commerce (CBCC)(https://www.calbcc.org/).

As the Chamber's CEO and president, King also sits on the Caltrans Small Business Council as the Chairman of the African American DBE Participation Committee for the California Department of Transportation. Staying true to the advocacy mission of the CBCC, King was able to reach out directly to Caltrans Director Toks Omishakin. The pending order to demolish the Hawkins' building has been halted and everyone is working on various resolutions concerning the matter. A petition (change.org/hawkinsburgers) and GoFundMe (https://gofund.me/d476b454) has been set up to support the 82 year old community institution.

"Because Cynthia Hawkins is a small Black business owner, this issue could have been viewed as racially discriminatory, when in fact it was not. In fact, small businesses across the state and the nation even, face matters that are more about miscommunication and bureaucracy then perhaps race and gender. Many small businesses understandably operate in a bubble implementing their day-to-day survival so the California Black Chamber of Commerce, like most business chambers of commerce, are many times underutilized resources. We are here to provide service and support to our constituents and the Hawkins Burgers' situation provides an exemplary case study of how winning resolutions can be accessible for all," explains Jay King, CEO/President of the CBCC.

"So many people came out and promised support and help," cites Cynthia Hawkins, the youngest of 14 children, who runs the restaurant with help from her two daughters and three grandchildren. "But it was Jay King who made things happen and made them happen quickly! As a small business operator, I never realized I had access to resources like Jay King and the Chamber. I am deeply grateful and just humbled quite honestly. The matter is not fully remedied yet, but King's support is like an answered prayer and a miracle for my family."

"Caltrans is not the bad guy here. In fact, there are no bad guys. Caltrans has a small business council, so what we witnessed was the council at work. As a member and chairman of their ad hoc committee, I was able to directly reach out to CalTrans and they responded immediately and halted the declaration for demolition. The system works when organizations and agencies in place do their job. In this case the organization was the CBCC and it did its job as a resource center and liaison and we will continue to find a real resolution to the matter, because it's what we are in place to do," notes King.

The Hawkins House of Burgers was originally a malt shop back in the early 1940's. The business was one of many family-owned enterprises over the past decades, before eventually becoming a full throttle restaurant business in 1984. The family's motto has always been "Take care of your community and they will ALWAYS take care of you," and it is this tradition that has lasted over eight decades. Cynthia Hawkins has lovingly continued with service that includes feeding the homeless; supporting local families with food and funds; offering scholarships to neighborhood kids; providing food to grieving families when tragedy occurs, particularly to those effected by gun violence; and notably offering jobs and training to the community residents. The Hawkins House of Burgers even offers discounts to Caltrans workers!

As the largest African American non-profit business organization, representing thousands of small and emerging businesses, affiliates and chambers of commerce throughout California, the CBCC is extremely concerned about the aftermath of Covid-19 which has immobilized and shut down businesses around the entire world. California is a large and crucial market. The California Black Chamber of Commerce has over 4,200 registered small businesses throughout the state. A large percentage of these businesses consist of sole proprietors who rely on their businesses' income to survive. COVID-19 has had an unforgivable impact on this already marginalized and fragile, small business community. From the mom-and-pop eateries, barbershops and corner stores, to business professionals, the impact of this pandemic is projected to decimate this entire workforce.

The California Black Chamber of Commerce is committed to helping small businesses survive through these uncertain times. Contact the California Black Chamber of Commerce at https://www.calbcc.org/, via email at cbcc@calbcc.org or call at 916-467-8878.

Celebrating Freedom and the Founding of the Church of Scientology in the Nation’s Capital July 4, 1955

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Established July 4, by Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard, the Founding Church of Scientology in Washington, D.C., holds a unique place in the history of the Scientology religion. It was inaugurated blocks from the White House and served as the first fully formed center of Scientology training and religious counseling and the first international administrative headquarters for the burgeoning religion, according to the Church of Scientology International.

Located at 1812 19th St NW, just over a mile from the White House, it was from his office on the second floor that Mr. Hubbard served as Executive Director and coordinated its activities and churches on five continents.

In dedicating the Church of Scientology National Affairs Office in Washington, D.C. in 2012, Mr. David Miscavige, ecclesiastical leader of the Scientology religion, highlighted "freedom" as essential element in Scientology Scripture and made it clear that Mr. Hubbard selected that date and location for inaugurating the new international headquarters quite deliberately. "Just as this nation was founded upon the principles of Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness, so too those principles are woven into the very fabric of our Scripture," he said.

Mr. Miscavige pointed out that the ideals enshrined in the Declaration of Independence, whose adoption is celebrated on Independence Day, are incorporated in the Creed of the Church of Scientology, published in 1954. The Creed affirms:

That all men of whatever race, color or creed were created with equal rights.

That all men have inalienable rights to their own religious practices and their performance.

That all men have inalienable rights to their own defense.

That all men have inalienable rights to conceive, choose, assist or support their own organizations, churches and governments.

That all men have inalienable rights to think freely, to talk freely, to write freely their own opinions and to counter or utter or write upon the opinions of others.

And that no agency less than God has the power to suspend or set aside these rights, overtly or covertly.

The full text of the Creed is available in a video on the Scientology Network, as is a three-part series chronicling in Mr. Hubbard's own voice, his life and discoveries.

In an essay published in August 1954, L. Ron Hubbard wrote:

"We are extending to you the precious gift of freedom and immortality-factually, honestly.

"You are a spirit. You are your own soul. You are not mortal. You can be free."

In that same essay, he credits America with having "kept wide the doorway" for this accomplishment "by retaining religious freedom."

To learn more about L. Ron Hubbard and the Scientology religion, visit the Scientology website or learn about the beliefs and practices of the religion on the Scientology Network. Broadcast from Scientology Media Productions, the Church's global media center in Los Angeles, the Scientology Network is available on DIRECTV Channel 320 and can be streamed at Scientology.tv, on mobile apps and via the Roku, Amazon Fire, and Apple TV platforms.

JOIN Keynote Speaker and Content Creator GiGi Robinson for #SCALEYOURIMPACT presented by Entertainment for Change and community platform, I Weigh on July 8!

NEW YORK, N.Y. /ScoopCloud/ -- Entertainment for Change™ (EFC) exists to amplify youth voices and create a new kind of leader that is empowered to make the social and environmental change necessary for a sustainable future. For Americans who came of age during the Great Depression, habits that formed during that period never fully left them, even decades after the economy had recovered and the world had shifted gears. New Deal voters formed one of the most lasting political coalitions in American history, transforming expectations of the role the government could play in people's lives. These enduring impacts were pivotal in shaping a generation and the contours of the nation.

2020 with the coronavirus pandemic, recession, protests, election have impacted Gen Z's habits, values and outlook on the world. GiGi Robinson, a 23 year old creative producer has been devoted to dismantling false body images by teaching Gen Z about social media literacy, and its effects on mental health. She is continuing this work with Entertainment for Change, being the keynote speaker for #SCALEMYIMPACT a, 5-week social activism workshop guided by the United Nations 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).eek social activism workshop guided by the United Nations 17 SDGs

"I found entertainment for change through a fellow impact artist, Khrystana, who is committed to shifting the narrative around body image and acceptance. As I searched for more organizations that I could partner with to begin to shift how I used my social media, EFC kept coming up. I knew immediately I had to sit down and have a convo with Jade to talk about how we could work together to make an impact. Since, I have been able to attend their workshops but also have assets to reshare that create impact around some of the SDG's that I already created work around including the environment, ending world hunger and gender equality."

Entertainment for Change has teamed up with Jameela Jamil's allyship community platform, I Weigh, to present hands-on workshops for #SCALEMYIMPACT. The workshops will engage high school students from around the world at the intersection of social media activism and the UN Sustainable Development Goals. They will focus on the following Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to showcase the intersectionality of these goals and how important radical inclusivity is.

SDG #3 Good Health and Wellbeing

SDG #5 Gender Equality

SDG #11 Reduced Inequalities

"The power of collaboration is in diversity of thought, and choosing for ourselves what we will use social media to accomplish. This course is meant to teach how to empower yourself by investing in your content. Student's will also learn how to collaborate with others in a healthy, uplifting way. We aim to create a global community of Impact Artists™ that love the skin they're in, and want others to feel the same." says Jenna Lichtman, Brand & Marketing Manager for Entertainment for Change.

The Spodak Dental Group Partners with the Delray Beach Police Department to Provide a Safe Remote Location During Hurricane Season

DELRAY BEACH, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- With hurricane season approaching, the Spodak Dental Group team once again partners with the Delray Beach Police Department to provide the disaster relief team a safe "home base" shelter in the event of a severe weather occurrence. This is the fifth year that the team has opened up the facility to local first responders, and is only one of five local businesses to do so.

"We consider it an honor to be able to open up our doors to first responders in the event of an emergency," said Dr. Craig Spodak, general dentist at Spodak Dental Group. "I designed our Gold LEED Certified facility to be environmentally conscious for the benefit of my community members, so this is just another way for the state-of-the-art facility to support our community and keep our local emergency personnel safe."

Part of the Delray Beach Police Department's annual hurricane planning and preparedness is securing remote locations (businesses) in the city to house officers during an actual hurricane, where they are safe and protected. This strategy allows them to deploy personnel directly to their geographical area when the storm has passed and prevents them from traveling in the storm or if roads are closed from damage or debris moments after the storm's passing.

Locations must be structurally sound and be able to withstand a Category 3 (or higher) hurricane. A team of up to 12 officers/firefighters/paramedics will sleep, eat and shower at the business for one to three days, or until the area is considered safe.

The Spodak Dental Group facility can withstand wind speeds in excess of 180mph, which is above hurricane Category 5 classification; has a generator output of 50,000kw; and offers a full kitchen and shower facilities. The last time the Delray Beach Police Department utilized the office space was during and after Hurricane Dorian in 2019.

"Spodak Dental Group has been a tremendous help and has played a vital role in our deployment for the past five years during hurricane season by allowing the Delray Beach Police Department to utilize their facility for the berthing of our officers," said Delray Beach Police Department Chief Javaro Sims. "They have created a safe and convenient place for our officers to operate from. This allows our officers to expedite our response when necessary. Spodak truly exemplifies our motto, 'One Delray, One Community, One Police Department.'"

The Spodak Dental Group, 2017 Inc. 5000 honoree, has evolved to become South Florida's premier, comprehensive dental facility, and comprises a world-class association of dental professionals poised to provide full-service dental care second-to-none in both scope and skill. The Spodak Dental Group team includes General and Restorative Dentists, Endodontists, Periodontists, Board Certified Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, Master Ceramic Artists and Anesthesiologists, as well as one of the nation's only in-office dental labs.

Spodak Dental Group is located at 3911 W. Atlantic Ave. Call or text (561) 303-2413 or visit https://www.SpodakDental.com/ for more information or to schedule a virtual or in-office appointment.
