Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield Delaware Contributes $250,000 to Exceptional Care for Children’s Future Young Adult Center

NEWARK, Del. /ScoopCloud/ -- Exceptional Care for Children (ECC), Delaware's first and only residential, pediatric skilled nursing facility, recently received a $250,000 contribution from Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield Delaware towards its future young adult center to provide specialized care for youth aging out of pediatric care.

BluePrints for the Community, the donor-advised fund of Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield Delaware at the Delaware Community Foundation, has contributed over $21 million to the community since its inception in 2007. It was established to serve Delawareans, with emphasis on, but not limited to, the needs of the uninsured and underserved, and to reduce health care disparities in minority population and address social determinants of health.

"Exceptional Care for Children is unique in its purpose, mission, and resident population as a whole, which sets us apart from other healthcare providers. In order to continue to meet the unique needs of our children as they age, our organization plans to construct a contiguous building on our campus that will eventually be home to our adolescents and young adults. A gift of this size is transformational for our organization and we are grateful that Highmark Delaware recognizes the growing needs of medically-fragile children and their families in our community," said John L. White, LNHA, Executive Director of Exceptional Care for Children.

Presently, the residents of Exceptional Care for Children must transfer out of ECC prior to their 21st birthday. To fill the healthcare gap that exists between adolescent and adulthood for medically complex individuals, ECC has launched a capital campaign to construct a 22-bed skilled nursing building on their property called the "Bridge Unit". This building will work to ensure that there is a deliberate transition and not transfer of care for Delaware's most fragile citizens.

"Exceptional Care for Children has long provided quality skilled nursing for some of our most vulnerable children. We are proud to be part of their new bridge unit to continue caring for youth with unique needs and circumstances," said Nick Moriello, President of Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield Delaware.

California Surgeon is the First to Offer Transumbilical Breast Augmentation with Silicone Implants

RANCHO CUCAMONGA, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Jacob Haiavy, MD of Inland Cosmetic Surgery has made history by performing transumbilical breast augmentation (TUBA) with silicone gel-filled implants. Dr. Haiavy is only the third surgeon to ever place silicone implants through the discreet incision in the navel.

It was previously believed that only unfilled saline breast implants could be placed through the small incision in the umbilicus, with the saline filling being added through a tube after placement. Silicone gel-filled implants, on the other hand, are pre-filled, and were thus thought to require a larger incision than is possible through the transumbilical plane. This left patients desiring the natural, lightweight feel of silicone breast implants with prominent incisions on or near the breasts.

The addition of the transumbilical incision option for silicone gel-filled implants is a significant milestone in the history of breast augmentation; since attaining FDA approval in 2006, silicone implants have become the preferred implant of hundreds of thousands of breast augmentation patients every year. Not only is the small TUBA belly button incision inconspicuous compared with incisions around the breasts, but Dr. Haiavy believes this technique also facilitates an easier recovery compared with traditional augmentation methods.

"A 'scarless' transumbilical approach appeals to so many patients, but many were torn between this preferred incision option and their desire for the wonderful feel of silicone implants. I am delighted to report patients can now have the best of both worlds," explains Dr. Haiavy.

Transumbilical silicone breast augmentation (TUSBA) is performed along the body's natural planes.

After over 20 years of experience with TUBA using saline implants, Dr. Haiavy collaborated with colleague Gabriel H. Patino, MD to develop the technique for placing silicone implants. He has dubbed the technique for placing silicone implants through a transumbilical incision "TUSBA," which stands for "Transumbilical Silicone Breast Augmentation."

Like TUBA, the TUSBA surgery is performed using blunt instruments to create a tunnel from the incision in the belly button to the breast. Through this tunnel, a pocket is created under the chest muscle, the breast pocket is expanded, and then the work is carefully inspected using an endoscopic camera.

Finally, the silicone gel implants are placed using the Keller Funnel(r) No-Touch(tm) technique, in which the implant is transferred directly from its sterile packaging using a hydrated plastic funnel, which is much like a piping bag used for frosting a cake. The Keller Funnel(r) allows the implant to be placed gently, with excellent precision and zero direct handling by the surgeon, thereby reducing the risk of infection.

While patients will experience a similar soreness in the breasts as they do after other breast augmentation techniques, there is minimal discomfort in the abdomen, Dr. Haiavy explains. He prescribes routine recovery measures, but finds that patients have an easier recovery overall after TUBA versus other augmentation methods.

There is one caveat to the technique: Dr. Haiavy limits TUSBA patients to a maximum breast implant volume of about 400 cc, or an increase of roughly two cup sizes. Still, he says, this is a substantial enough increase that many patients will be able to reach their desired outcome with TUSBA.

"Good candidates for TUSBA breast augmentation include non-smokers in good health who want the natural feel of silicone breast implants without visible scarring. It would also be an excellent choice for those who want to replace lost breast volume after pregnancy or weight loss. I am confident I can achieve an excellent outcome for patients requiring silicone implants of 400 cc or less."

About Inland Cosmetic Surgery:

Inland Cosmetic Surgery offers comprehensive cosmetic surgery and aesthetic services to patients in Rancho Cucamonga and surrounding areas in Southern California. As Medical Director of Inland Cosmetic Surgery and Ahava Medical Spa, Dr. Haiavy has performed over 15,000 cosmetic surgery procedures and is known for his caring approach and superb results.

Chelsea Groton Bank Approves $244K in Grants During Spring Giving Cycle

GROTON, Conn. /ScoopCloud/ -- This spring, the Chelsea Groton Foundation provided $244,319 to 67 non-profit organizations from Connecticut and Rhode Island. Over 60% of the Foundation's approved funding went to organizations providing Health and Human Services, including critical needs such as healthcare, food, clothing and shelter.

A grant donation of $15,000 was provided to Lawrence & Memorial Hospital and $10,000 went to Westerly Hospital, both in response to decimation of resources caused by the pandemic. The Foundation gave a third consecutive grant in the amount of $15,000 to the Community Foundation of Eastern CT for the Neighbors for Neighbors Fund. Since last spring, the Foundation has given a total of $85,000 to the Fund. Operation Fuel was also the recipient of a third consecutive donation and has received a total of $22,500 from the Chelsea Groton Foundation since the pandemic began.

The Foundation was also able to support multiple organizations in the Arts and Culture and Youth Activities sectors, as they work towards a return to normalcy. Eastern Connecticut Ballet ($2,000), Avery-Copp House Museum ($1,500) and La Grua Center ($2,500) all received grants to assist in re-opening to the public for art and live performances. Both Girl Scouts of Connecticut ($3,000) and Muscular Dystrophy Association ($2,500) are welcoming campers back this summer, and Eastern CT Workforce Investment Board ($5,000) is running a summer employment program for low-income youth.

"We made a commitment early on in the pandemic to do whatever it took to support the non-profits in our area who make the community the wonderful place it is. We stand by that and are proud to be able to give to organizations that support basic human needs - hunger, homelessness and healthcare - as well as those that provide education, economic growth, arts and cultural experiences, and more, as we recover, together," shared Michael Rauh, President and CEO of Chelsea Groton Bank, and President of the Chelsea Groton Foundation. "In addition to our usual support, I'm happy to share that the Foundation's guidelines that were adjusted in 2020 will remain in place for this year. Some of the adjustments we made allowed organizations to change the purpose of the grant if the original purpose is no longer possible, and organizations are currently permitted to apply for funding two times in a calendar year. We hope these adjustments will allow more organizations to benefit in greater ways from the funding we have available."

The Foundation typically reviews applications and awards grants two times per year. Organizations who support critical needs are invited to apply for additional funding this year if needed, through the application on the Bank's website, chelseagroton.com/CGFoundation.

Last year, Chelsea Groton Bank and the Chelsea Groton Foundation gave a record $1 million to the community in the wake of the pandemic. Each year, the Bank and Foundation support more than 300 local organizations through monetary gifts, grants, sponsorships, scholarships and employee volunteerism. More information, including a list of all spring grant recipients, is available at chelseagroton.com/CGFoundation.

Marijunana Home Gardens To Conduct Seminars on How to Legally Grow Marijuana in Your Home – Legal in Arizona

TEMPE, Ariz. /ScoopCloud/ -- empe, Arizona-based, Marijuana Home Gardens announces it is conducting a series of seminars to teach Arizona residents how to legally and effectively grow marijuana in their residences.

Six months after the passage of the Smart and Safe Act (Arizona Proposition 207) that now allows Arizona residents to grow and harvest marijuana for personal use, amateur gardeners are excitedly seeking resources to grow high-value plants in their homes.

For that reason, and because of a lack of existing options in the marketplace, Marijuana Home Gardens created the Outdoor Grow Hut, a marijuana grow house kit, which has substantial advantages to growing indoors. This complete kit includes premium organic super soil, seeds from a third-party partner (www.marijuanaseedconnect.com), planter pots, and a watering system.

Their Outdoor Grow Hut provides a safe, electricity-free environment to maximize plant growth and minimize all equipment and maintenance costs.

With 5 years' experience in growing medicinal marijuana plants, company founder, Dante Anthony, is conducting a series of seminars, where he will be teaching gardeners the fine art of successful growing.

"While we offer optional gardening services that can get you from seed to smoke in 90 days, we found many people are interested in applying their horticultural skills towards growing on their own." says Dante. "It is a tricky process and I get flooded with questions all the time from passionate gardeners and thought it's time to help them get on the path to a constant crop."

The first seminar is being hosted by the Sun Lakes Garden Club at the Chapel Center in Chandler (9230 E. Sun Lakes Blvd) on Tuesday, June 15th at 10 AM. Visitors are welcome to attend and may be from any city with any level of experience.

Report: Over One Quarter of All Mileage Reimbursement Claims Are Overreported

ISSAQUAH, Wash. /ScoopCloud/ -- According to internal data gathered by TripLog, a leading enterprise mileage and expense tracking solution, over 1/4 (nearly 30%) of all mileage is overreported, which could potentially cost businesses millions of dollars per year in fraudulent reimbursements.

Between January 2018 and January 2021, TripLog found that roughly 2.8 million trips were overreported. The 52.33 million miles reported among those trips were inflated by 27.2% for a total of 14.26 million miles.

For drivers reporting manually (that is, not using the app to automatically start tracking their mileage when they start driving), that number balloons to 28.9%. At 58 cents per mile, this would account for $8.2 million in fraudulent reimbursements.

For example, a driver may take a trip and report that it took 27 miles when in reality the trip only took 17 miles. TripLog's system compares the route recorded by their app's automatic mileage tracking features or a given manual mileage entry by the driver to Google Maps' data.

If Google Maps says that the drive actually took 17 miles, that can result in overreporting. Thanks to TripLog, those trips were flagged and easily corrected, but companies using manual reporting and processing methods are far more likely to miss such errors.

"Companies still using outdated pen-and-paper forms of mileage tracking and expense processing may be losing out on thousands of dollars each year per driver due to inaccurate mileage claims," said company CEO, Ted He. "Modern digital solutions, such as mileage tracking apps, are a powerful way to avoid such losses."

The most common type of expense fraud is mileage reimbursement. Employees that travel long distances in their own vehicles often pad their mileage amounts in order to receive additional funding from their employer.

Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, expense reporting fraud was on the rise. According to Chrome River's 2019 Expense Fraud Survey, an average of 5% of employees committed expense reporting fraud that year. The most important piece of information, however, is how these expenses were being submitted.

Employees were most likely to commit expense reporting fraud when submitting manual or spreadsheet-tracked receipts to accounts payable. 9.1% of employees who submit expenses this way have committed fraudulent actions in their expense tracking, typically inflating small expenses that are less likely to be noticed.

To help stop these instances of fraud, solutions like TripLog have made it possible and affordable for firms to get exact mileage reports, put them all into a readable format, save time for the accounting team, and, most importantly, stop fraud in its tracks.

About TripLog, Inc.:

Located east of Seattle in Issaquah, Washington, TripLog has been helping businesses ranging from small to enterprise-scale handle their mileage claims and expense reimbursements for over ten years. TripLog's intuitive app provides mobile employees with an easy-to-use system to automatically track their mileage when they start a drive, eliminating any guesswork and inaccuracies. In addition, their web dashboard gives administrators access to detailed data, providing increased oversight, allowing businesses to keep their clients' teams accountable, and provide them with accurate reimbursements.

"However, we knew we needed a document custodian that not only was also approved by Ginnie Mae to participate, but one that also possessed a keen understanding of the nuances of storing eNotes. That is exactly what we've found with Wilmington Trust, and we look forward to partnering with them to expand Mid America's digital mortgage push."

First announced in July 2020, the Digital Collateral Initiative enables Ginnie Mae to accept eNotes and other digitized loan files as collateral for its securities. Once approved for participation in the program, all eIssuers and their associated eCustodian must successfully complete a series of test transactions before receiving written eMortgage Issuance Authority from Ginnie Mae.

"Treating patients who suffer from sleep apnea is one of the most important services we offer as dentists," said Dr. Tiffany Dudley, general dentist at Spodak Dental Group. "With the additional short- and long-term complications associated with the COVID-19 virus, it's even more pressing to help our patients and future patients manage their sleep apnea."

The new report, based on more than 80,000 health records, suggests positive airflow pressure therapy can reduce a patient's risk of infection.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a very common and potentially life-threatening medical disorder that occurs when the soft tissue in a person's throat repeatedly collapses and blocks the airway during sleep. These partial reductions and complete pauses in breathing can last up to 30 seconds and can occur as many as 100 times per night, which lead to a lack of oxygen to a person's organs.

Untreated OSA increases a person's risk for high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, depression, memory loss and more. Both men and women of any age or body type can suffer from the condition.

Dr. Dudley is offering complimentary sleep apnea screenings and 30-minute virtual consultations for anyone who feels he or she might suffer from sleep apnea. Please visit http://www.sdgvirtual.com/ to schedule a consultation.

The Spodak Dental Group, a 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.

HIT Athletic, Austin’s Elite Performance Gym Celebrates One Year with Event Fit For the Whole Family

AUSTIN, Texas /ScoopCloud/ -- HIT Athletic is celebrating a successful one year in business this month. As one could imagine, launching any business amid the global pandemic proved difficult-especially for those that depend on face-to-face interaction. Such was the case for HIT Athletic which provides families with a unique experience where they can train, strengthen, and sweat together through a variety of high-caliber classes, with smart fitness tracking (HIT Tech -technology that monitors personal real time effort) and state-of-the-art equipment, all in a unique and open facility. (Construction was completed June 2020.)

While a Grand Opening event was not possible last year, HIT Athletic did see the sustained growth it needed to keep offering a great fitness experience for its members. They were also careful to follow all proper safety protocols to ensure that no COVID cases came out of the facility, in which HIT Athletic was successful. But now that more Austinites are getting vaccinated and the lockdown regulations are being lifted, HIT Athletic is finally able to host the Grand Opening Event that families deserve, exactly one year after opening and construction was complete.

The "Find Your Fit with HIT" event (being held at the facility at 7797 Burnet Rd.) on June 12, 2021 from 9 a.m. - 12 p.m. is really both a one-year anniversary party and a Grand Opening celebration.

The event is open to the public and there will be something for everyone:

- Class previews - jump in to try 20-minutes of cycling, boxing and a unique HIIT circuit class

- Special partner tables from wellness partners offering education, giveaways and freebies

- Food trucks, a DJ, photo booth and a bounce house for the kids

- Adoptable pets from Austin Pets Alive - help us raise money for our partner charity, learn about fostering, or even give a pet in need a home.

Attendees will also be eligible for a new member offer: $0 enrollment plus the first month free (valid during the e vent only). Additional promotions will continue throughout the anniversary month for those who can't make it out to the event.

"HIT Athletic is really about approaching fitness in unique ways," said Eddie Esparza, Director of Operations, HIT Athletic, "whether you're into classes, of which we have 80+ per week (adult and youth), doing your own thing, or working out with a personal trainer, this facility and the space itself is a place our members feel safe and comfortable to pursue their fitness goals. And we're really excited to share this with the rest of the community."

The pandemic has highlighted the importance establishing healthy habits and that community and family are critical support systems to do so. "We started the gym with the idea that parents and their kids should be able to train simultaneously in a facility that is like no other," said Adam Boenig, owner, HIT Athletic, "But alongside that, we wanted to create a sense of family for athletes of all abilities and ages, ranging from the everyday fitness enthusiast to collegiate-professionals to help them achieve their goals - and we can't wait to share that experience with everyone on June 12."

About HIT Athletic

The newly constructed two-story facility boasts over 25,000 square feet includes advanced equipment (with unlimited access to free weights/racks/machines and specialty speed equipment), two turf fields, boxing and yoga studios, batting cages, TRX room, cycling room, weight rooms and cardio rooms that are accompanied by luxury locker rooms and a sauna, plus a children's education room. This center was built around a new approach to fitness and welcomes athletes of every age and gender affording them the ability to achieve their highest level of fitness. HIT Athletic transcends far beyond the world of sports and helps members positively impact every aspect of their lives.

HIT Athletic will be adding to its program Summer of 2021 - which includes virtual classes, nutrition coaching, whole health analysis, and more. Stay tuned as HIT Athletic makes a big splash within the Austin Texas fitness industry. HIT Athletic looks forward to seeing many faces on Saturday, June 12 at 9 a.m.!

Encore Green Environmental Technologies and Licensing Announces Water Desalination Technology Purchase

CHEYENNE, Wyo. /ScoopCloud/ -- Encore Green Environmental Technologies & Licensing (EGETL) announces the purchase of water treatment technology equipment formerly known as NOMAD from XRI/Fountain Quail.

"The NOMAD desalination technology is the most capable, reliable, and energy efficient technology available to treat industrial by-product water. It's held that title for almost 20 years now and remains the only proven and cost-effective thermal evaporator available at commercial scale," said Darren Smith, Encore Green Environmental's Chief Technology Officer. "Combined with our Conservation By-Design(tm) methodology, this is the energy industry's way forward for ESG."

The agreement to purchase has been signed and set to close by June 21st. NOMAD has generated in excess of 30 million barrels of freshwater from Texas oil and gas fields alone and EGETL will be incorporating design improvements and offering the next generation NOMAD to the agricultural community.

"With our sister company, Carbon Asset Network and the nonprofit, Synergy for Ecological Solutions, this new purchase accelerates our ability to serve our agricultural partners," says John Robitaille, CEO of Encore Green Environmental and Director of Carbon Asset Network. "By cleaning by-product industrial water for surface application, we create a new source of water for the arid West. This exponentially improves soil health, which traps more carbon in the soil and roots and less carbon in our air. This is a new day for agriculture and environmentalism, with a turn-key path to meet ESG goals."

"Encore Green has developed a relationship with Brent Halldorson and we are delighted to carry on the NOMAD legacy that he and his family started in Calgary years ago. Brent and his father's vision is now coupled with agriculture where there will always be a need for freshwater," says Marvin Nash, Encore Green Environmental's Co-Founder.

Encore Green Environmental Technologies & Licensing is a sister company of Encore Green Environmental in Cheyenne, Wyoming.

Mortgage Coach adds debt consolidation strategies in Total Cost Analysis to educate consumers on finance options using home equity

CORONA, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Mortgage Coach, the only platform enabling mortgage lenders to create digital and accurate home loan options for consumers, today announced its addition of detailed debt consolidation strategies in the Total Cost Analysis (TCA) presentation, allowing loan originators to educate consumers on lower interest debt repayment options as peaking home equity values offer household cashflow relief.

According to Q1 data from the Federal Reserve, there is $21 trillion in U.S. home equity and about $4.6 trillion in non-mortgage consumer debt such as credit cards, auto loans and college loans, with revolving and student debt having risen during the period of pandemic job loss. At the same time, mortgage rates remain at historic lows.

Mortgage lenders use the Mortgage Coach platform nationwide to create millions of multi-option loan comparisons annually. Each personalized TCA presentation is delivered to the borrower via digital link by way of email or text, offering the borrower a custom digital experience and an opportunity to make a thoroughly informed decision on their home loan. The added Mortgage Coach debt consolidation illustrations enable loan originators to easily review detailed consolidation scenarios within a borrower's Total Cost Analysis presentation, including comparisons between a mortgage without debt consolidation, a mortgage consolidating all consumer liabilities, and a mortgage with partial debt consolidation, offering both short- and long-term views of interest savings and cashflow impact.

"One of the more powerful items in a Mortgage Coach debt consolidation strategy is showing the borrower alternatives for how to apply funds they'd otherwise be spending on debts," said Finance of America President Bill Dallas. "Using Mortgage Coach to present a debt consolidation strategy supports our commitment to helping people make informed decisions about borrowing and their most important life purchases."

Mortgage lenders currently using Mortgage Coach will find its easy-to-understand debt consolidation strategies intuitive for their borrowers from its clearly labeled call-out position on the Total Cost Analysis summary.

From the debt consolidation call-out short-term tab, the borrower has a view into interest savings by consolidating debt based on selected time parameters and can drill into how costs such as mortgage insurance have been calculated via informational windows on each strategy, allowing comparison of the total cost of each option against each other and net savings for those new options.

In the long-term section, lenders can change metrics for any time horizon aligning with borrower goals such as planning for children's college in five years, planning retirement in 15 years, or other life event planning allowing borrowers to align their goals with metrics meaningful to their particular financial needs.

"We are pleased to unveil this innovation at a time when rising home equity offers many borrowers relief from high-interest consumer debt or lingering student debt," said Mortgage Coach President Joseph Puthur. "Any lender and borrower can now easily explore refinance options leveraging home equity strategies to pay off consumer debt at historically low rates, while maintaining a manageable mortgage. Understanding how best to put home equity to use is simple and accurate for anyone with this addition to our Total Cost Analysis."

About Mortgage Coach

Mortgage Coach is the only platform that allows mortgage lenders to create digital and accurate home loan comparisons for consumers. With the Total Cost Analysis presentation, lenders can create a multi-option comparison, offering the borrower a more personalized digital experience.

Staff Retention Tops List of Lender Concerns in 2021, Inaugural Survey from The Mortgage Collaborative Finds

SAN DIEGO, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- The Mortgage Collaborative (TMC), the nation's largest independent mortgage industry cooperative network, has announced the results of its inaugural The Pulse of the Mortgage Industry survey ranking mortgage lenders' top concerns based on 598 executive responses from the co-op's 234 lender members.

The survey found these six issues to be most critical for mortgage lenders in 2021:

1. Retention of existing staff;

2. Enhancing customer experience at point of sale;

3. Scaling and modernizing loan manufacturing process to better insulate against volume fluctuations;

4. Measuring operations and employee productivity;

5. Implementing and integrating new technology; and

6. Fair lending compliance.

"After a lender hiring frenzy to manage last year's historic volumes, we fully expected staffing to be one of the top concerns this year, but to have it rank as lenders' No. 1 concern was truly a surprise," said Rich Swerbinsky, chief operating officer and president of TMC. "As much as the 'hire-and-fire cycle' has come to define how lenders typically manage the peaks and valleys of origination volume, there is also a real concern among lenders about the human impact of this strategy, as well as the operational and financial effects, and lenders seem to be ready to embrace alternative means to better manage volume fluctuations. This aligns neatly with the overall theme we observed in the list of lenders' top concerns of modernizing the generally inefficient mortgage loan manufacturing process."

"However, one of the top concerns lenders noted that falls outside this general theme is fair lending compliance," Swerbinsky added. "With the Biden Administration and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau telegraphing their collective intent to make housing equity a top regulatory priority, as well as the reinstatement of the disparate impact standard, our lender members are understandably focused on ensuring their policies and procedures are up to scratch to ensure compliance with existing fair lending laws."

TMC staff selected 40 relevant pressing issues facing mortgage lenders today and asked survey respondents to indicate the level of importance each issue held for them in their current role. The 40 issues were divided into six categories: culture and inclusion, efficiency and profitability, technology and data, compliance and legal, marketing and business development and miscellaneous. In terms of institution mix, 53.7% of survey respondents work for an independent mortgage lender and 46.3% for a depository lender (i.e., banks and credit unions). TMC will now compile and release Pulse Survey findings twice a year, with the next survey scheduled for November.

About The Mortgage Collaborative

Based in San Diego, Calif., The Mortgage Collaborative was founded in 2013 by four notable industry leaders and is the nation's largest independent mortgage cooperative network. TMC is singularly focused on creating an environment of collaboration and innovation for small to mid-size mortgage lenders across the country to reduce cost, increase profitability, and better serve the dynamic and changing consumer base in America.

The Beauty Secrets Men Don’t Want to Tell You: from Bro-tox to Dermal Fillers

BOSTON, Mass. /ScoopCloud/ -- The saying 'look good, feel good' does not only ring true for women. Being more physically attractive can have positive implications for career-minded and goal-oriented men. Women have been reaping the benefits of these non-invasive procedures for decades, but recently The Spiegel Center has seen the number of procedures performed on men increase by over 100%. So, if you have been thinking about plastic surgery and aesthetic options you are not alone, we bet your friends are thinking about it too.

Rhinoplasties have stood at the forefront of male plastic surgery for years, but we have recently seen a shift in men's concerns that has resulted in an uptick of aesthetic trends. Each male patient has their individualized concerns and goals, but the common thread amongst most is their desire to look refreshed, without it appearing obvious they have received any treatments. In the past men solely relied on Botulinum (Botox) to achieve this look. Although 'Bro-tox' once dominated the male aesthetic industry, men have now discovered the effectiveness of Tear Trough filler.

Dr. Onir, The Spiegel Center's aesthetic injector has found, "Men love getting their tear troughs filled because it is a fast and effective way to younger-looking lower eyelids without the need for surgery. What used to require a full operation can now be done in moments with the right knowledge and skills. Another popular option is Accutite -- a new non-surgical treatment to 'de-puff' the under eyes."

The Spiegel Center is home to experts in gender and aesthetics. People travel from all over for facial feminization, but to know what makes a face feminine means you know what it takes to make or enhance male attractiveness. Men and women having the same procedures need different techniques and different results.

Dr. Spiegel explains, "For men, we want more horizontal eyebrows, so we do Botox differently. This principle applies to almost all procedures whether it be the eyelid for a blepharoplasty, nose shape for a rhinoplasty, we even want the cheeks to be shaped differently, so we put filler in different areas than we do for women. The different location for cheek fillers, for example, between men and women can be millimeters apart, and the distinction makes all the difference."

To cater to these differences requires a lot of knowledge and a careful eye. The experts at The Spiegel Center understand, appreciate, and know the different techniques required to help you look attractive within your gender. Getting it right includes getting it right for men.

Tear trough hollowing can be treated by injections of hyaluronic acid fillers to restore lost volume and improve darkness and shadowing around the lower eyelids. This is an area where it is especially important to see an expert facial doctor because while the results are natural and beautiful in skilled hands if done incorrectly or by a less experienced practitioner, an unnatural bulge or bluish skin color can result. Dr. Onir and Dr. Spiegel are recognized experts at facial injections including complex regions such as the tear troughs. They have provided patients with personalized care and natural-looking results for over 20 years in the Boston area.

The Spiegel Center located on Boylston Street (Rt. 9) in Newton is comprised of an impressive team, including Dr. Jeffrey Spiegel who has been selected as one of the top five facial plastic surgeons on the East Coast and chosen as one of the 15 most influential plastic surgeons in the world. He is recognized by his peers as an expert in the most complex revision surgeries and has received almost every major award available to Facial Plastic Surgeons. Dr. Onir Spiegel is acknowledged as one of the country's Most Loved Injectors and specializes in facial aesthetics. Learn more at: https://www.drspiegel.com/

ViewTech Borescopes Rugged Visual Inspection Tools Adhere to Military-Grade Standards

TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. /ScoopCloud/ -- Since their VJ video borescope hit the market in 2008, ViewTech Borescopes mechanical articulating video borescopes have been widely used throughout a variety of inspection applications, including those that are considered explosive environments. When redesigning their 3rd generation inspection borescope, it was critical to have the newest borescope tested for MIL-STD-810G certification.

After ViewTech Borescopes VJ-3 was introduced to replace their previous video borescope model, the newest video borescope underwent rigorous military-standardized testing with National Technical Systems (NTS). NTS has been a partner to defense and naval contractors for more than 50 years and specializes in safety and testing standards. With the ViewTech borescope operated as designed, testing was completed by NTS without igniting the testing chamber, even when the risk of an explosion was present. The VJ-3 articulating video borescope has been designed to resist extreme conditions as noted with the MIL-STD-810G Explosive Environment Certificate.

ViewTech Borescopes recently added MIL-STD-810G details and guidance on their website for those searching for an inspection tool to safely use inside an explosive environment. Included in this enhancement is access to ViewTech Borescopes MIL-STD-810G test report.

VJ-3 Video Borescope

The VJ-3 mechanical articulating video borescope is a NDT instrument used for the RVI of machinery, equipment, and components. The VJ-3 facilitates the visual recording and photo documentation of inspection and components in areas that are otherwise inaccessible or require great effort and expense to access directly. The VJ-3 video borescope consists of two modules integrated into one system: an insertion tube with distally mounted camera/LEDs, and the base unit with a control panel, LCD monitor, power source, and all necessary circuitry.

About ViewTech Borescopes

ViewTech Borescopes, founded as RF System Lab in 2008, is North America's #1 seller of video borescopes. Their first product, the VJ borescope, set a new standard for portability, ergonomics, and ease-of-use, with its industry-first mechanical, joystick-controlled articulation.

Uptown Boca is the most ambitious development constructed in western Boca Raton in the last 20 years.

The 38-acre site features a mixed-use program of approximately 156,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space along with 456 luxury rental units and two parking garages. The project is transformational for Palm Beach County and the pressure to meet the deadlines, despite the global issues, created a tremendous opportunity for the general contractor to test and enhance their skill set.

"Building a project of this magnitude during the pandemic provided some very valuable lessons for our team, ones we will be mindful of on all projects moving forward," said Brett Schreiber, Current Builders' Senior Project Superintendent and Partner, who managed both the retail and residential construction for Uptown Boca.

For Schreiber, enhanced communication was the key element for making this a successful project.

"There were a lot of curveballs thrown at us during this build," he explained, "The pandemic forced changes to the tenant mix and therefore to the structure. Often times, design and construction were happening simultaneously, with no room for error."

To keep track of all these major updates, the team relied on the technical prowess of Procore's construction management software to enhance efficiency. But also, elevated the art of transparent conversation and relationship building, even when it had to be done via Zoom.

"I cannot underestimate the importance of having excellent communication channels with the client/developer," he said. "No one wants to be blindsided, so when issues arose, we made sure the client understood the obstacles and was fully apprised of the plan to get the project back on track."

Often times, longer hours, nights and weekends were required to make that happen. For Schreiber, the relationships with the subcontractors were another critical factor.

"The subs can make or break your project," he continued. "And while we always treat our teams with respect and dignity, the pandemic heightened our awareness of using added motivation only when truly necessary. While the project managers always feel constant pressure, it is important to reserve the push for essential crunch times."

Dialogue with the inspectors was also a paramount reason for this massive project's success.

"Establishing a trusting relationship with the inspectors helped us complete this project on time," he explained. "We worked very closely with the inspectors, addressing issues immediately and keeping them in the loop at all times as to our progress. We also reached out to them to learn what to expect and what was going to be required to pass. Thanks to this strong level of confidence in our execution and follow through, the county was incredibly helpful in having us meet all the major inspection hurdles."

The pandemic also forced Current Builders to set up contingency plans in case the county's inspection department shut down, establish extensive COVID-19 safety protocols and make adjustments in staging and logistics due to the slow down of the supply chain.

"The entire Current Builders team is very proud of Uptown Boca," continued Schreiber. "Taking on the firm's biggest project, one that was in the media's spotlight, during the height of COVID-19, was a test of our abilities and management. Seeing the recognition and popularity this development is achieving now is very rewarding."

Current Builders is an award-winning general contractor, celebrating five decades of construction success with average annual revenues of $250 Million. Current Builders specializes in multi-family residential projects, 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.

The Uptown Boca project is Current Builders third commission with the development team including Rosemurgy Properties and Giles Capital Group in partnership with Wheellock Street Capital. The retail development component was led by the seasoned retail/commercial team at Schmier Property Group.

Kalyagen and Intelicure Announce Partnership to Distribute STEMREGEN in Canada

AUSTIN, Texas /ScoopCloud/ -- Kalyagen® and Intelicure Health Inc. announced today that they have entered into an agreement to promote and distribute throughout Canada STEMREGEN®, a natural stem cell enhancer documented to increase the number of circulating stem cells by stimulating Endogenous Stem Cell Mobilization (ESCM).

"We are pleased to announce our partnership with Intelicure to distribute STEMREGEN in Canada," said Christian Drapeau, CEO and Chief Scientist of Kalyagen®. "This will help us deliver on our mission to bring the well-documented health benefits of stem cells to as wide an audience as possible."

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.

"We are delighted to be partnering with Kalyagen to introduce STEMREGEN to Canada," said Meena Boparai, CEO of Intelicure. "We've been targeting many of the same health issues with other natural products, and we expect that STEMREGEN will be very popular with Canadians seeking to improve their overall health and wellness with the proven benefits of stem cells."

"Having working with the Intelicure team in the past, bringing both companies together to help promote, market and distribute STEMREGEN was a very special honor," said Herbert Dogan, CMO of Kalyagen®.

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.

Chicago Support Group Part of National Network Taking Aim at Chronic Pain

CHICAGO, Ill. /ScoopCloud/ -- More than 50 million Americans live with chronic pain. The U.S. Pain Foundation addresses the incredibly isolating and difficult experience that affects all aspects of a person's life-their ability to work, their self-confidence and identify, personal relationships and social engagement, and more. Studies show that people who experience daily pain are significantly more prone to anxiety, depression, and even suicidal ideation.

But it does not have to be that way.

Led by Becky Fleming of Orland Park, Illinois, a support group that meets monthly via Zoom is helping alleviate the myriad of struggles faced by individuals with chronic pain. Becky Fleming draws on her own experiences with migraine to help educate and encourage attendees.

The support groups offer attendees the chance to connect and talk with others who understand the unique challenges of disabling pain. But there's also an educational component-leaders help participants understand new treatment options, self-management strategies, mindfulness techniques, and more.

"I have lived with chronic pain for 17 years. For many years, I felt alone and feared my chronic pain would make my life unmanageable. I felt like I lost so much of my life. It's been a long road to get to the place I'm in now, and I hope to help others on their path towards a better life while living with chronic pain," says Fleming.

The group is part of Pain Connection, a national network of support groups created through U.S. Pain Foundation, the largest organization in the country dedicated to serving people with chronic pain. Led by Gwenn Herman, LCSW, DCSW, who lives with chronic pain herself, Pain Connection offers an intensive training to volunteers looking to become effective group leaders.

After completing the training program, support group leaders return to their communities ready to establish a group for other people with chronic pain. The leaders use the training and their own experiences with chronic health conditions to facilitate dialogue and understanding among group members, and nurture a sense of community that can be so valuable.

The group, which meets via Zoom on 10 June 2021 from 3:30 pm to 5 pm CST, and plans to continue monthly meetings on the second Thursday of each month in the coming year. To learn more, contact Becky Fleming at USPainChicago@gmail.com.

U.S. Pain Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to serving those who live with pain conditions and their care providers. It offers dozens of programs and services designed to empower, educate, connect, and advocate for people living with conditions that cause pain. Learn more at https://uspainfoundation.org/.
