LTC NEWS Acquisition Anticipates Growth and Expansion

CHICAGO, Ill. /ScoopCloud/ -- Matt McCann, a nationally-known veteran of the long-term care (LTC) insurance industry, announces the formation of LTC NEWS, LLC after acquiring the online asset - ltcnews.com.

Previously owned by publisher Chip Ramsey, the acquisition includes all the websites and social media platforms operated by LTC NEWS and its corresponding editorial content.

Formed in July 2015, LTC NEWS is an online resource for long-term care planning, health and retirement issues to help consumers plan for and better understand the financial impacts of aging.

LTC NEWS, LLC plans to expand its editorial content and resources and to offer a full range of unique digital advertising and marketing opportunities to reach adults aged 40 and up. It will also provide creative resources to design advertising to help businesses effectively reach their target audience.

It will also offer sponsored-content opportunities to allow a company, health care provider, or insurance or financial professional to engage readers and drive traffic to their website while delivering on their marketing objectives.

"LTC NEWS will continue to offer news and informational resources to help American families plan for a successful future retirement," Matt McCann, who will work as interim president and CEO, says. "I look forward to working with the current staff and to adding new staff to help us grow in the years ahead."

Prior to acquiring LTC NEWS, McCann consulted for LTC NEWS, so he's intimately familiar with its operation and assets. The company will also design websites and social media platforms for home health agencies, adult day care centers, assisted living facilities, memory care facilities, nursing homes and other businesses related to providing long-term health care services.

LTC NEWS will provide similar services for insurance and financial professionals looking for quality websites and social media platforms to help them engage their clients.

"Many insurance and financial professionals want affordable state-of-the-art websites and social media platforms," McCann explains. "LTC NEWS will provide these resources so these professionals can have a compelling Internet and social media presence."

LTC NEWS will continue to publish articles at no charge from expert guest columnists and these authors will gain outstanding exposure, website backlinks and traffic to their websites. Specific guidelines will limit the amount of advertising content in those articles.

Sponsored-content articles will allow a targeted message to promote a product or service and drive traffic to a website while providing useful information on a specific topic.

"We're striving to provide an exceptional user experience and brand that users remember and trust. Answering consumers' questions accurately, clearly and quickly is essential to LTC NEWS," Daniel Pope, who will lead the website development and creative team, says. "We'll also analyze consumer behavior at scale in large datasets to help determine which topics, resources and advertisements are most relevant to consumers."

Pope says the goal is to present the website visitor with relevant opportunities to learn something new. The overall website experience will enhance user activity and increase the time spent on the website.

"The time invested between the user and the LTC NEWS brand will foster a culture of trust which benefits both consumers and advertisers. Our advertising partners can take advantage of targeting specific topics or resources within their niche that our consumers actively seek," Pope says.

The company is currently seeking an entrepreneurial sales manager to lead its nationwide sales effort. This individual should have a solid knowledge of Internet advertising and an understanding of the long-term health care industry.

Interested individuals can forward a resume and cover letter to Lori Urbanick at: lori.urbanick@ltcnews.com.

LTC NEWS will be operated independently from McCann's firm, McCann Insurance Services, Inc., and the company will be headquartered in offices located in Countryside, Illinois, and Columbus, Ohio.

Maryland, along with states across the country, has experienced a significant increase in the number of financial exploitation cases over the last few years, particularly those involving seniors. Exploitation occurs when a person misuses or takes the assets of a vulnerable adult to benefit themselves. This frequently happens without the explicit knowledge or consent of an older or vulnerable adult, depriving the victim of vital financial resources. Many of the cases are perpetrated by professional scammers, but most exploitation is carried out by acquaintances and trusted "friends."

Project SAFE and the PROTECT Week Coalition bring together state and federal agencies, local organizations, and financial professionals who share a common goal of preventing and remedying financial exploitation of older Marylanders. PROTECT Week, held June 15-21, 2020, offers opportunities to learn about the many forms of abuse, neglect, and financial exploitation of older adults.

Now in its third year, PROTECT Week 2020 launches on World Elder Abuse Awareness Day, observed on June 15. PROTECT Week resources, available on www.protectweek.org, will help Marylanders identify financial exploitation so that they may protect themselves and their loved ones from abuse. The week's activities include a teletown hall on June 17, and Spanish-language webinars on June 16 and 18, as well as the launch of a PSA campaign.

Wondershare Online UniConverter – A Powerful Online Version of UniConverter

SHENZHEN, China /ScoopCloud/ -- Wondershare Technology Co. Founded in 2019, Wondershare Online UniConverter is an online sibling of Wondershare UniConverter, the desktop program for Windows and Mac platforms since 2009. Today, Online UniConverter is capable of performing almost 90% of the tasks that its PC variant can do, except for those that require dedicated hardware resources such as a disc burner to write data on to the optical media, and a webcam for screen recording.

Even though the desktop version of the UniConverter is sufficient enough and is widely used, there were a couple of reasons that encouraged Wondershare (SHE: 300624) to launch Online UniConverter (media.io):

1) Strong and Reliable Cloud Service
Because of the robust backend support and reliable servers, Wondershare was quite confident that it would be able to offer flawless online services to the end-users.

2) Eliminate Installation
Another reason for introducing Online UniConverter was to eliminate the need of installing the app on the computer. This approach not only reduces the overhead on the processor and the GPU, but it also offers speedy outcomes as all the processing is done on the Wondershare's high-end servers

3) Global Accessibility
Since Online UniConverter is intended to be used online, the tool can be accessed from anywhere in the world, and from any PC regardless of how low it is in terms of hardware specifications.

4) Cost-Effective
As explained previously, because all the processing is done on Wondershare's servers, users don't have to buy upgraded hardware devices to cope up with the latest technology, and their old computer can serve the purpose pretty well as long as it has a stable Internet connection.

Some of the functions of Online UniConverter that are commonly used by most people across the globe include:

Conversion
With the ability to support 1000+ formats, Online UniConverter can convert video clips to their relevant formats or audio. The web tool is capable of converting audio files as well.

Compression
The online solution can compress the files so they occupy less space on the users' computers' hard drive. During the process, Online UniConverter lets the end-users define the compression ratio at the cost of output quality.

GIF Creation
The web tool allows users to upload short video clips and convert them to animated GIFs that can be shared on social media platforms or published online for quick illustrations.

Video Editing

The term 'editing' covers wide spectrum where Online UniConverter lets the users to trim the videos, crop them, adjust their contrast, brightness, and saturation, and even flip and rotate them as needed.

Wondershare offers all these features and much more in its online version of UniConverter that is available at cheaper rates as compared to the desktop variant.

As of June 2020, the company is running a Buy 1 Get 1 Free campaign in which the users can buy lifetime perpetual licenses of the desktop version of UniConverter, and get a 1-year subscription of Online UniConverter for free.

One of the company's officials also confirmed the release of an upgraded version of UniConverter, UniConverter12 with entirely new UI and improved performance. The app will be made public somewhere in the mid of July 2020, the official said.

New Better Topics Card Game Helps Couples and Families Strengthen Relationships

SHEFFIELD, U.K. /ScoopCloud/ -- A new card game is on the horizon that has the potential to strengthen and improve relationships. Better Topics, a replayable card game created by Diana and Robert Indries, is a catalyst to help people have more fun, more meaningful conversations and better communication.

Diana and Robert have created a Kickstarter campaign to help launch a hands-on game and app: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/dianaindries/better-topics-replayable-card-game-for-couples.

"We and a few of our friends play the game every week. It helps us set aside time for one another and makes us look forward to having the deep conversations we need to grow our relationship. I'm convinced it will help other couples and families too," Diana says.

The world is in turmoil right now and relationships are no exception. In 2019, the U.S. Census reported two million new marriages, yet there were 800,000 new divorces. That's 40 percent.

"And what about the other 60 percent?" Diana wonders. "What's the real quality of those relationships?"

To help find a solution, Diana and Robert set out to create a game that not only has the potential to help relationships grow stronger, but to incite more joy and excitement too.

"The only thing that can make relationships stronger is constant, caring attention," Diana says.

"Better Topics" is a springboard for meaningful discussions that come naturally. Some sample questions include: What was your favorite thing we did together last week? What's one thing we could do next week that would help to put a spark in our relationship? What is one trait about me you noticed recently, that you would want me to keep? There's also a points system for real-life rewards, clear rules, elements that make it fun, strategies to win, and weekly couple challenges.

"During our research, we found and played other card games, but they all asked questions that were limited in nature such as, 'What's your favorite flavor ice cream?'" Robert says. "Our game has ever-relevant questions and other fun elements so it can be played every single week. It's a game you can build on."

Running Of The Bulls Only Sorta Canceled Due To Pandemic – 14th rendition of San Fermin in Nueva Orleans changes format, again

NEW ORLEANS, La. /ScoopCloud/ -- Nola Bulls, LLC has found a way to carry on the fun of San Fermin in Nueva Orleans with an online gathering of amigos.

Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic and the uncertainty of legal gatherings of more than 10 people, the organizers and brain trust of San Fermin in Nueva Orleans have opted for an online fiesta. On Saturday July 11, 2020 all are invited to join the team as they present a way to revel with the friends they normally see each year, but cannot due to the virus.

Annually since 2007 people have come from around the globe to enjoy the company of friends and the gorings of our Virtual Bulls, aka RollerBulls(tm). The team had to be creative in order to bring the fun and festive feeling of SFNO to their loyal fans. Notify your friends and schedule a socially distant/approved way to join in.

Back in 2007 some friends dreamt up the idea of recreating the famous Running of the Bulls in Pamplona, Spain by replacing the four-legged bovines with two-legged RollerBulls played by the Big Easy Rollergirls roller derby team. What has occurred since is nothing short of amazing. Each year hundreds of roller derby skaters (aka RollerBulls) from around the globe chase down and whoop willing runners through the streets of New Orleans. It's all part of a great three-day fiesta.

The three-day event that usually spans many blocks and venues in the city of New Orleans will be shortened to a few hours, but expanded to venues around the world. Entry to this virtual wonderland is available via www.nolabulls.com.

Look for performances from our beloved local groups and bands as well as some introductions to fans that come annually to enjoy our beloved city and this wacky fiesta.

Nola Bulls, LLC was founded in 2007 and is a provider and promoter of entertainment and cultural events in the New Orleans Area: Improving New Orleans one festival at a time. SFNO helps raise money for two local charities, visit https://www.bethsfriendsforever.org/ and http://bigeasyanimalrescue.org/ for info on these.

All Trademarks and service marks are the property of the respective parties.

COVID-19 Response Shines Light on Need for Civil Liberty Protections: California Organization Drafts Bill to Fix Health and Safety Code

SACRAMENTO, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- In an effort to protect the right to body autonomy, California Health Coalition Advocacy (CHCA) has drafted legislation that would protect the right to refuse a long list of medical and non-medical interventions issued by the California Department of Public Health and Governor Newsom.

The organization points out that in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been an onslaught of Governor's orders as well as an unusually high number of intrusive County Health Department ordinances. The breadth of powers granted, especially to unelected officials in county health offices, has surprised legislators and county supervisors.

Local Health Officers, who are not elected by their county constituents, have taken broad control of the response to this pandemic and created ordinances that come dangerously close to, if not outright, violating the right of Californians to decide how they manage their personal health choices.

"The right to refuse is based on fundamental constitutional principles. The sovereign nature of people necessitates that they be free and independent in all aspects of their life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness without interference from governmental power structures, and these inalienable rights need perpetual protection," said Diane Miller, who drafted the bill's language and who is also an attorney and Legal and Public Policy Director of National Health Freedom Coalition. This bill would ensure that the right to refuse stays intact.

CHCA's "Personal Rights During Infectious Outbreak and State of Emergency" bill would add Section 120137 to the health and safety code. Its main accomplishment would be to establish the right to refuse requirements and restrictions recently experienced by Californians.

The bill language stipulates the following: "... individuals retain the right to be free and independent and maintain their inalienable and fundamental rights including but not limited to the right to refuse the following activities whether for direct response or prevention: medical treatments or procedures; testing; physical or mental examination; vaccination; experimental procedures and protocols; collection of specimens; participation in tracking or tracing programs; the wearing of masks; the maintaining of measured distance from other humans and animals that is not otherwise unlawful; and the involuntary sharing of personal data or medical information."

"The power of California's Public Health Department has increased unchecked since the mid-90s. With the pandemic, the extent to which the local health officer can restrict the civil liberties of individuals has become apparent," stated Valerie Noble, president of CHCA. "They have the authority to take possession of a living body, destroy property and pets, and take any action they deem necessary, whether or not those actions are evidence-based. Furthermore, a person who refuses to comply with an order is guilty of a misdemeanor, punishable by fines and imprisonment. It is of utmost urgency that the rights of individuals during disease outbreaks are defined and protected."

California Health Coalition Advocacy is actively seeking a legislator to author their urgency bill.

About California Health Coalition Advocacy:

California Health Coalition Advocacy is a 501(c)(4) non-profit organization that initiates and influences laws and policies to expand, protect, and promote the health and well-being of Californians. This includes the right to access, consent to, and refuse products, services, treatments, information, education, exposures, and environments.

ViewTech Borescopes VJ-3 Sales Increase During May 2020

TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. /ScoopCloud/ -- While businesses and industries continue to return to work as restrictions are lifted, video borescope sales increased for ViewTech Borescopes. ViewTech highlights the addition of a selection of their newest VJ-3 clients now utilizing a ViewTech borescope during their inspection process.

Many ViewTech borescope purchases are finalized after experiencing a no-cost, on-site demo of a full-featured VJ-3 articulating video borescope. A Plant Quality Manager for an American packaged food company became acquainted with the VJ-3 during an on-site demo in 2019. With the seams of their extruder barrel needing a close inspection during cleaning processes, their previous exposure to ViewTech's line of mechanical articulating video borescopes proved the VJ-3 6.0mm x 5.0 meter would be the perfect inspection tool.

Another of ViewTech's newest clients, one of the Bay Area's largest manufacturers, connected with ViewTech Borescopes while searching for a solution to inspect cabling that lined an inaccessible area of their newest generation tool. With the borescope needing to be equipped with an articulating tip and photo capturing capabilities, ViewTech's demo program allowed them to see first-hand the quality of video borescope offered before committing to purchase.

With on-site staff conducting the inspection, engineers working remotely were able to view the inspection photos and videos at their home office and provide recommendations. The staff was thoroughly impressed with the VJ-3 video borescope's articulation, image resolution, along with ViewTech's superior customer service, they finalized the purchase of a VJ-3 3.9mm x 1.5 meter and VJ-3 Dual Camera 6.0mm x 1.5 meter.

The VJ-3 Dual Camera video borescope is one of the newest and most in-demand units at ViewTech Borescopes. With the ability to utilize a forward-facing and 90-degree camera angle, the following are a selection of companies that are now utilizing the new VJ-3 Dual Cam:
* A Virginia-based power and energy company that serves more than 5 million retail energy customers throughout the Midwest, mid-Atlantic and Northeast regions
* A Houston, Texas aftermarket turbomachinery business
* A Fortune 100 and nation-leading energy provider
* A 50-year, industry-leading design, construction and maintenance service provider
* A US naval shipyard known for building, remodeling and repairing the Navy's ships

VJ-3 Video Borescope

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

WordPlay T. Jay ‘putting in Overtime’ – Eighth album tackles work, ambitions, spiritual life, dreams

TACOMA, Wash. /ScoopCloud/ -- On The Map Music Group announces June 26, 2020 for release of hip hop artist WordPlay T. Jay's eighth album since 2007, dedicated to his dreams, family, spiritual life, ambitions and hard work over the years "putting in Overtime."

The album features 15 tracks that reflect the 30-year-old artist's motivations - retirement, security, and finding people to with whom to share his life - and the work he puts in to achieve all those goals.

The album was inspired by his 2017 single, "Overtime."

"I left the grocery store one day, and I started thinking about what my life at almost 30 years old," T. Jay said. "I worked all of these hours and I was wondering if it was worth it. I came to the conclusion it was and started humming the words, 'Overtime, overtime. All the time on my grind.' That stuck with me, I drove home, and I made the beat. Myself and my intern, Garret Sanchez, worked on the music video and the rest is history."

From then, T. Jay said "Overtime" has been a work-in-progress for the past two years, and at times, he has questioned whether or not to release a whole album.

"I've gone back and forth on whether I should release an album at all," he said. "Singles have been the driving force behind music consumption for a while now. Even though people like albums, they really don't engage with them anymore. They pick the songs they like from a project and move along with those. I didn't move to complete this album until six months ago, and this may be my last one for a while.

"I want to concentrate on making great singles for two reasons - the fans' consumption habits and to not bear the expense of releasing another album."

Driving T. Jay is the motivation to complete tracks and get the feeling of satisfaction each time.

"It feels like I've just made something exist out of thin air," he said. "The emotions evoked by the song makes me want to share it with others and hope they get the same feeling."

T. Jay also said fans motivate his drive.

"I focus a lot on the energy exchange between myself and the fans watching," he said. "What I enjoy the most is when someone tells me that they are a new fan because of my performance overall."

Also driving T. Jay is his spirituality, including fasting, meditating and learning new spiritual practices.

"I speak about all of these practices in my book, 'Fake Blues: Creating in the Face of Anxiety.' The goal is to overcome all of the anxieties we exacerbate with our thoughts and get back to making creative work. That practice has brought some extraordinary results my way. I've been able to invest more in my company due to revenue growth, my music sounds better, my soulmate is here with me now, and my ambitions are falling into place."

Ultimately, T. Jay's goals center around his company, On The Map Music Group, established in 2005.

"I want to create the largest independently owned media company in the world," he said. "The main objective is to put other creative people 'On The Map.' I want to return ownership to those who make the art, and grow their earning capacity on their terms. I'm the test subject, and as I meet more creatives willing to make the leap, the business will grow."

A teacher by trade and recently married, T. Jay has been working on his music career since high school, first hitting the scene with his single "The South," which was voted "Hottest in the Rock" by Hot 96.5 in Little Rock, Ark.

Since 2013, he has released three albums in six years. He also operates a YouTube channel to give independent musicians tips for music promotion, publishing and distribution.

Harlem Wizards Committed to Driving Equality, Fairness and Justice for All

NEW YORK, N.Y. /ScoopCloud/ -- The Harlem Wizards' players, staff and support personnel want to express their deep sympathy to the families of Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor and George Floyd. As an organization, it's saddened to see the images of such heinous murders. This is very personal for the group as 90 percent of the players are people of color, and this could have been one of them or their family members.

In order for the players to have a platform to collectively share their thoughts and feelings, a Zoom conference call was organized to give Harlem Wizards' players a voice and outlet to provide their perspective on these issues of inequality and injustice.

Reactions to these horrendous murders was anger, disappointment, resignation, pain and sadness. The common questions that emerged were: "How do we get past this?" "How can I make it safe for my kids?" "How can I feel completely comfortable and welcome in the USA?" "Will this ever change?"

King Arthur Lewis, Jr., the inspiration for the "Team of We" movement, shared that, "We have to have sustained perseverance, like the 381-day Birmingham bus boycott that ended busing segregation in Birmingham. We can protest and demand equality, but our challenge is to stand up for these things that we believe in while coming from a place of love and inclusion."

Todd Davis, CEO Harlem Wizards, said, "It was heartbreaking to hear the players' experience of living a somewhat double life. Respected and beloved while in 'Wizard' mode, but subject to a different reality when the uniform is removed. What was gratifying was that the players shared their authentic experiences and came together."

The key Zoom meeting takeaways included a desire to continue to bring people together through fun, inspiration and exciting trick-hoops, but also a shared hope to go beyond that and to be part of the healing and educational conversation about race relations and the challenges faced as a nation.

"We believe that through our travels around the USA that we have an opportunity and moral obligation to share our thoughts with the millions of students we see each year," Davis says.

Eric Jones, the longest-tenured Wizard of 22 years and one of the player-coaches said, "As an organization we have entertained fans across the globe for the past 59 years and we have brought families and communities together through basketball. This is not just what we do, this is who we are. This commitment to educating and fostering connection and understanding is a natural next step for the organization, fostered by where we are right now in this national conversation."

Dwayne "Swoop" Simpson, a 13-year Wizard and a player-coach said, "This is about fair treatment and justice for African-Americans, but it's also about humanity and making the world a better place for all."

The Wizards participated in a peaceful rally in Paramus, N.J. at Paramus High School on Tuesday, June 9.

Orange County based wedding videographer Fisheye Studio offers live streaming for weddings affected by Pandemic

IRVINE, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Fisheye Studio has seen the demand for live streaming increase for weddings since the global COVID-19 pandemic. The Orange County, California based wedding videography company recently filmed a wedding on May 20 in Hollywood for a couple whose original plans to wed were to be at the end of June.

With the bride's family located mainly in Brazil, travel complications were too difficult to overcome and plan for, so they decided to have the ceremony on the rooftop of their home. Viewers watch and commented on Facebook Live as the company streaming a multi-camera, live HD feed around the world so that the bride's family didn't feel left out for not being at the wedding.

"Fisheye Studio is also planning another live streaming wedding on June 27 at the Crystal Cathedral located in Orange County, California," says company founder, Josh Fair. "The couple was supposed to have around 100 guests but is now only allowed to have up to 10. Instead, all their family and friends will feel as if they are right there with the couple as they tie the knot."

Josh Fair began by live streaming weddings back in 2004 in Honolulu, Hawaii. His company at the time, Live Internet Weddings, was featured on ABC, CNN, Time Magazine, and the New York Times for their innovative product. Fisheye Studio now offers that same service along with their other video production services for weddings.

Fisheye Studio was founded in 2009 and maintains offices in Honolulu and Orange County. Their website is https://fisheyestudio.com/.

Last year, they were honored by a national award by WIPA as the top wedding filmmaker in the U.S.

Hago Energetics Inc. Announces Participation in the NASA CO2 Conversion Challenge

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Hago Energetics Inc., a startup company focused on development of scalable solutions to climate change, announced today that it is a participant in the NASA CO2 Conversion Challenge. This Challenge seeks to make colonization on Mars possible for future generations. The Company is in Phase 2 of this Challenge and has earned 10 bonus points to its final score after submitting a Mid-Point Progress Report on its status.

"This Challenge gives us the opportunity to contribute to building the chemical and biological infrastructure that will be useful to a future Mars colony," says said Wilson Hago, PhD, Founder and CEO of Hago Energetics.

The NASA CO2 Conversion Challenge is a $1 million competition to convert carbon dioxide into sugars such as glucose as a step to creating mission-critical resources. Such technologies will allow us to manufacture products using local, indigenous resources on Mars and on Earth by using waste and atmospheric carbon dioxide as a resource.

"This Challenge is in good alignment with our main mission, which is CO2 conversion on this planet for the purpose of mitigating climate change," added Hago. "Our approach is flexible in that it can produce, using carbon dioxide, water, solar energy and catalysts as inputs, food for bacteria and for future Mars inhabitants, as well as allow these inhabitants to make plastic materials such as tables, chairs, and utensils to make living on Mars feel like their former homes."

This project is presently self-funded, but the company is currently looking for sponsors for this project.

About Hago Energetics

Hago Energetics, Inc., located in Thousand Oaks, California, is developing technologies to mitigate and reverse climate change using renewable energy. The Company is seeking partnerships or sponsorships that will help advance its mission. Learn more at: http://hagoenergetics.com/

About NASA CO2 Conversion Challenge

NASA's CO2 Conversion Challenge, a Centennial Challenges competition, seeks to incentivize the public to develop non-biological systems that can convert CO2 into useful sugar molecules, like glucose. Sugars are the preferred feedstock for the types of microorganisms commonly used in commercial biomanufacturing systems. While sugars are usually derived from certain plants on Earth (ex., sugarcane), this approach is not easily adapted to space missions because of the size of these systems and resources needed to grow these plants.

What your Choice of Quarantini says about You: A Valuegraphics Survey

VANCOUVER, B.C. /ScoopCloud/ -- During your COVID-19 quarantine, in those Zoom socials, was gin your preferred spirit in your martini shaker? If it was, here's what we know about you and your cohort of gin drinkers, according to The Valuegraphics Database and a new global analysis of what people all over the world care about most - and by extension how they will behave.

Gin drinkers, as a group, break into four main segments:

* 24% are "The Probably Bow Ties" and are loyal to tradition and believe there is one right way to do everything. They place a high value on loyalty, making things happen, and keep an eye on their finances.

* 23% fit a profile called "The Probably No Ties." They are social adventurers, out more nights than they are in, and use their martini as a kind of social prop. They are always looking to grow and will be attracted to anything that offers the opportunity to be a better version of themselves.

* At 21%, "The Food Funsters" are planners, fixated on food, but really don't expect anything will be as good as they'd like. They seek out customization, and are just as happy dining alone as they are in a group.

* 17% are "The Career Drinkers," who live to network and build their social standing. They will drink their martini how everyone else does, so they don't stick out. Influence and wealth are their objectives, and they will do what needs to be done to attain them.

The balance of the sample are splinter groups that are not statistically relevant.

"By knowing what people care about - their values - we know why they behave as they do," says human behavior expert David Allison, founder of The Valuegraphics Database, the first global dataset of human values. "As humans, we spend all our waking hours hunting and gathering anything that will feed and protect our values: the things we care about most. This is our life's work."

It's a distinction that shows the limited range of traditional demographics that put people in categories based on what they are, but tell us nothing about who they are or why they behave as they do.

"Regardless of the demographic boxes you check as a human in society - race, gender, age, income - we learn more from cohorts based on shared values which can predict, with great precision, what people will do next. From a social science perspective, that's a very different narrative," says Allison.

If you wanted to speak to, engage or influence gin martini drinkers, for example, highlight anything that will trigger personal growth, personal responsibility and experiences. These values, from a list of 56 accepted by the scientific community, will be the most powerful.

"Empirical data that isolates what your target audience cares about tells you exactly what buttons to push to influence behavior," explains Allison, "because what we value determines what we do."

National Martini Day is June 19. Drink responsibly.

About Valuegraphics

The Valuegraphics Database defines the shared values of target audiences, regardless of their demographic profiles. It uses a global database informed by neuroscience, psychology and sociology and measures 436 shared human values, wants, needs and expectations. It's accurate to +/- 3.5%, offering a high degree of confidence. Learn more: https://valuegraphics.com/

New SBA Service Fills Plan Sponsors’ Need for Pandemic-Friendly, Cost-Effective Sourcing of Third-Party Benefit Service Providers

ATLANTA, Ga. /ScoopCloud/ -- Independent, full-service employee benefits consulting firm Strategic Benefits Advisors, Inc. (SBA) today announced the launch of Arm's-Length Vendor Search, a service designed to help organizations make informed decisions about hiring and retaining benefit plan administrators, recordkeepers and other third-party service providers when travel restrictions or budgetary constraints preclude in-person assessment of prospective vendors.

Procurement policies require many plan sponsors to issue requests for proposal (RFPs) on a regular schedule or as contracts with existing service providers expire. For others, vendor searches represent a valuable opportunity to resolve benefit administration challenges and negotiate more favorable pricing for outsourced services.

"Plan sponsors don't want to put search projects on hold, but they're unsure how to proceed in the current climate," said SBA Founding Principal Andy Adams. "We are pleased to provide an elegant, cost-effective solution to this market need. We call it Arm's-Length Vendor Search not only because it can be done remotely, but also because it eliminates conflicts of interest that occur when searches are performed by parties that earn referral commissions or have an interest in bidding for the same services they are evaluating. These remote searches can achieve everything a traditional search provides, enabling plan sponsors to select vendors with confidence."

SBA performs vendor searches for a wide range of outsourced employee benefit services, including defined benefit (DB) plan administration, 401(k) plan recordkeeping, health and welfare plan administration, financial wellness services, actuarial services and investment advisors. According to Adams, Arm's-Length Vendor Search engagements start as low as $25,000 depending on the nature and scope of the plan sponsor's request.

About Strategic Benefits Advisors

Strategic Benefits Advisors, Inc. (SBA) is an independent, full-service employee benefits consulting firm focused on creatively and effectively solving complex benefits challenges for clients ranging from 500 to over 300,000 employees. Founded in 2002 by veteran consultants Mindy Zatto and Andy Adams, SBA provides practical consulting recommendations and expert implementation of solutions for all types of employee benefits programs, including retirement, health and welfare, financial wellness and employee recognition.

New Isolator XXX™ Column Delivers Increased SFC Purification Efficiency

PITTSBURGH, Pa. /ScoopCloud/ -- Thar Process Inc., global leader in the design and manufacture of advanced technologies for the extraction and purification of natural products, announces a new Isolator XXX(TM) phase for hemp/cannabis extract purification by supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC).

The Isolator(TM) series of column media (stationary phases) are specifically engineered for hemp/cannabis purification to allow Thar's customers to remediate their extracts from unwanted compounds such as pesticides/fungicides or THC; they work best when run on Isolator SFC(TM) series systems.

The novel Isolator XXX(TM) is a bonded silica-based stationary phase available in 10, 15 and 20 um sizes allowing for greater polar retention through a useful range of interaction mechanisms. Thar's Isolator SFC(TM) systems utilize dynamic axial compression (DAC) columns to allow for simple pack/re-packing of material - which allows users to switch applications daily if necessary.

Learn more: http://tharprocess.com/co2-extraction-and-purification-solutions/#IsolatorSFC

"We developed the Isolator XXX phase to help customers who were struggling with retention time variability, inadequate column lifetimes, long run times, and low retention of highly non-polar compounds like cannabinoids," explained Lalit Chordia, PhD., CEO of Thar Process. "With these new phases specifically designed for the interaction between hemp extract moving through a column in CO2 with only 2% ethanol as a co-solvent - we can dramatically reduce the operating costs associated with making compliant and non-detectable Broad Spectrum CBD oils."

To ensure high reproducibility, each Thar Isolator XXX(TM) column and batch is certified by a stringent QC process comparing both analytical and DAC columns from the same batch. This ensures the applicability of this new media for commonly used types of detection such as UV-VIS, ELSD and MS. In addition to the selectivity and particle performance benefits, a simplified set of running conditions was developed for use with the Isolator XXX(TM) system - allowing for universal training and support for customers around the world. Thar's new Isolator SFC(TM) customers can be found on 3 continents only 6 months after launching the Beta systems. The systems purify up to 3 kgs/day of extracts. Thar Process intends to publish significant data on the isolation of minor cannabinoids and other non-hemp natural product extracts in the coming months.

Going, Going, Gone: Established Real Estate Agent Leaves Brokerage World During a Pandemic to Embrace the Advantages of Auctions

CHESAPEAKE, Va. /ScoopCloud/ -- In a pandemic-ravaged economy that's left few industries untouched - with many having had to completely rethink and reorient operations within a short window of time - one might question why someone would leave an established career to set off on a new venture. However, that's exactly what Seth A. White chose to do, noted real estate auction firm Tranzon Fox has announced today.

Five years into a career as an agent for two of the leading residential real estate brokerage firms in Hampton Roads, during which time he handled transactions that reached eye-watering highs of nearly $2 million for waterfront homes - something many agents still dream of achieving - he was seeking a chance to better differentiate himself and an opportunity that would allow him to lean into the wind-buffeted economy, rather than push against it.

Although he had previously explored the possibility of immersing himself in the real estate auction business, partly because it would enable him to continue representing residential clients while also stepping into the commercial realm, he ultimately decided it was not the right time.

"I continued to see the value in having the opportunity to serve my clients with an accelerated sale process using focused marketing that would ensure an asset yielded a price in line with its current market value. And sellers love the as-is purchase contracts that typify the auction business," said White, Tranzon Fox's newest auction associate.

So, in the turbulent present, in which some industries have been hammered relentlessly while a few have prospered, and Wall Street is up substantially one day and down the next, leaving values of many assets less clear, Mr. White decided this was the time to embrace auctions. "There's obviously a large advantage in being able to sell a property for the highest possible price in the shortest reasonable period of time through a transparent bidding process. Many private sellers choose it for its efficiency, but, of course, I will also be able to assist in foreclosures, bankruptcies, and other situations of distress and duress, when efficiency and time are not just optional, but mandated," he said. Furthermore, Mr. White knows that, "time is money, and executing for my clients will become ever more important as we navigate through these delicate periods of time."

Ultimately, what convinced White was Tranzon Fox's established ability to sell and close or obtain ratified contracts on a variety of properties during the pandemic era, from the low-end, to a $3 million-plus veterinary hospital / boarding / grooming facility. This includes asset types that have been hammered of late, namely retail and restaurants.

"They're still getting deals done, and I want to be a part of that," White said. "Now is the time."

About Tranzon:

In 2000, a group of real estate auctioneers banded together to create Tranzon, LLC, a nationwide network that revolutionized the way real estate professionals bring buyers and sellers together. Today, the Tranzon team features some of the most experienced real estate, marketing, and auction professionals in the business. Using Tranzon's Market-Making System(tm), a proven methodology for the accelerated sale of property, the company has conducted tens of thousands of successful commercial and residential auctions for clients including financial institutions, trusts, guardians, estates, and private individuals. All Tranzon companies are independently owned and operated.

Aaron Ozee Honors George Floyd and Black Lives Matter with ‘Regulus’ Prequel

CHICAGO, Ill. /ScoopCloud/ -- Aaron Ozee, celebrity author of the bestselling children's book, "Regulus" (ISBN: 9781387010790), and praised director of the Regulus movie, has started writing the rumored prequel. Ozee has launched the project ahead of schedule in hopes of supporting the Black Lives Matter community and preserve the memory of George Floyd.

Ozee was heartbroken upon watching the abhorrent footage captured at the scene where George Floyd was murdered, and witnessing the civilian protests sweep nations overnight, he was struck with the passion to act before more innocent lives are ravaged with racism.

"Upon hearing the shocking news about what happened to George Floyd, my heart stopped. How could Derek Chauvin, a police officer tasked with safeguarding the public, enact such violence on this man? Racism is the virus. Not the people it harms. We created this evil and we have the strength to cease the madness. My pledge to ensure the balance of this peaceful crusade will be to donate the proceeds of my untitled Regulus prequel to Black Lives Matter in their entirety. However, an extension of my pledge will be to dedicate my untitled Regulus prequel to George Floyd to grant him the future which the Minneapolis police department took from him," said Ozee this morning.

Ozee has been known for contributing the fruit born from the success of his written creations to societal movements, charitable organizations, and universal catastrophes. When Ozee premiered the Regulus movie on Amazon Prime, months before the promoted release, Ozee agreed to 50% of the proceeds earned from his debut film being donated to families struck with hardship due to COVID-19 for the remainder of 2020. Ozee has made travel arrangements for upcoming protests across Chicagoland to assist in the execution of demonstrations and provide other attendees with comfort in sight of aggressive law enforcement.

Ozee claims the untitled Regulus prequel will be on track for release later this year or early 2021 and negotiations with Bizarros Studio for making the untitled Regulus prequel into a television show are underway. Actors, musicians, influencers, athletes, political leaders, motivational speakers, and comedians with high regard in the industry such as Paula Deen, Akon, Drake Bell, and Tony Hawk have appreciated the infamous rat king.

Interfaith Chaplains Training for the Work of Racial Justice

BERKELEY, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Responding to the recent murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis, Reverend Ineda Adesanya, CEO, announced that the Chaplaincy Institute ("ChI") is committing to training student chaplains and equipping current chaplains with new tools for spiritual care of those harmed by injustice.

Interfaith chaplains are spiritual caregivers to people of all faiths and backgrounds, and to those of no particular faith. The Chaplaincy Institute trains interfaith chaplains for service in healthcare, prisons, street ministry and stealth chaplaincy in various settings.

Rev. Adesanya said, "We must come together in sacred connection, united against hate, to demand justice now. We must, each and all, lend our voices to demand safety for our communities and our world.... The Chaplaincy Institute recognizes the call in this difficult moment and will answer it."

ChI's training in prophetic voice and social transformation equips students to understand oppression and facilitate social transformation from a foundation of spiritual principles across all faith traditions. In the Interfaith Chaplaincy Program students receive extensive preparation for spiritual leadership and compassionate care across diverse religious, spiritual and social contexts.

The Chaplaincy Institute has expanded to allow training from anywhere in the world. Students who are African American or who hold marginalized identities are eligible for scholarships. Whether online or in-person, ChI's programs are creating an expanding network of interfaith chaplains working toward our vision: A just world that honors the sacred connection of all.

First Touchless Pizza Serving Plate for Restaurants – A Solution to New Food Handling Safety Expectations

HUDSON, Ohio /ScoopCloud/ -- Nuova Vita Corporation is excited to announce the launch of the first No HandL Portion PadL with the Touchless Pizza Border. This next generation pizza serving plate is designed for today's sanitization standards and makes other serving plates obsolete.

The patented No HandL Portion PadL(tm) enables restaurant patrons to avoid shared surface areas when self-serving pizza slices. This decreases the risk for spread of viral pathogens associated with the novel coronavirus and bacteria that causes food borne illness.

Each custom-made No HandL Portion PadL with the Touchless Pizza Border is ideal for sharing pizza at the table. Three unique features give patrons peace of mind and convenience. Finger wells enable individuals to grasp and move the serving plate without shared surface contact, recessed grooves ensure fully cut slices to allow patrons to easily remove a slice of pizza from the plate and centering circles consistently ensure equally cut slices so every slice is as desirable as the next.

"The government provides restauranteurs with food preparation and serving guidelines and regulations, but it's ultimately consumer confidence that determines sales," said Greg Getzinger, founder and CEO of Nuova Vita Corporation.

He added, "The No HandL Portion PadL with the Touchless Pizza Border will help restauranteurs give people safe, familiar and convenient group pizza dining experiences, where they can feel a part of community again."

More information - and online ordering - now available at https://www.portionpadl.com/.

George Koser Joins Realty ONE Group Restore Leadership Team

COLLEGEVILLE, Pa. /ScoopCloud/ -- Realty ONE Group Restore is proud to announce the recent hiring of George Koser to the leadership team. George will be working out of the Blue Bell and Conshohocken offices as the company's first Non-Selling Sales Manager. In his role, he will play an integral role in supporting the company's real estate agents to work smarter, not harder, and grow their businesses.

With more than 35+ years of experience in real estate and close to $3 billion in managed closed sales business, George has the experience and fervor to become a trusted team leader and help agents with viable marketing, training, and support that will make a true impact. Working with some of the most well-known real estate companies in the industry, George's previous roles and experience will help him be successful at Realty ONE Group Restore.

When asked why he chose to join Realty ONE Group Restore, George explained that the appeal was in the opportunity to work with a motivated, supportive company versus the type of culture that exists within the large corporate conglomerates.

"Ultimately, agents have the opportunity to make more money at ROG. The company focuses on offering autonomy, but also real-life, helpful guidance and support that others claim to offer, but don't actually offer. I've been there. I have firsthand experience and know what the agents need. I am here to give that support and guidance."

George said he was excited to help lead the charge and work with a company that has a focus on technology, something that agents need more and more, especially in the current state of the environment.

"ROG has the technology and the support agents need - and they encourage everyone to take advantage of it. Agents are given tools that will help them run their business at a high level, even in the midst of a pandemic. That's the kind of support you want from a company. You want to feel like someone has your back, not just eyes on your pocket."

Through George's 35+ years of experience, he has worked at major real estate companies including Century 21 Alliance, Berkshire Hathaway Home Services Fox & Roach Realtors, and most recently, Weichert Realtors as a sales manager. From being a broker and owner to vice president and sales manager, George's experience is unmatched and his credibility is as solid as they come.
