Current Builders Introduces Innovative Parking Garage Building Technique

POMPANO BEACH, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- Current Builders (www.currentbuilders.com) has introduced a new time-saving technique to build parking garages using a "column hung shoring system." The award-winning general contractor based in Florida, recently topped out their Aura Boca project.

This luxury apartment community, in the heart of Boca Raton, includes an 8-story parking garage that was completed, from start of foundation to top of last pour, in six months; a reduction of almost 25% of the standard build time. Current Builders plans to market this technique as an alternative to precast and post tension garages.

"This is an important advance in the construction process for garages that was developed by Mike Gillette, vice president of our Structures division," said Rolf Severtson, Executive Vice President of CB Structures. "We are very proud of Mike's innovative advance which is helping accelerate our completion times."

"Aura Boca is the first project to utilize this innovative shoring system for the perimeter beams," explained Gillette. "The system consists of a 60,000-pound column mounted jack supported by wide flange W beams. This system eliminates the need for re-shoring under the beams which reduces costs and time, and additionally provides a 7-foot working table for iron workers and carpenters."

Gillette's innovation was partially inspired by bridge building techniques and his own on-going creative process. For the Aura Boca project, the Current Builders team was able to build a new floor every 12 working days, which is very rapid pace compared to the industry standard of 15-17 working days.

Current Builders recently topped out the Aura Boca project and looks for final completion by December 2020.

Utelogy Launches U-Automate – Workspace Automation for Unparalleled Productivity Enhancements and Scalability

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Utelogy Corporation, a visionary provider of control, monitoring and analytics software for workspace management, today announced its automation tool, U-Automate. This module delivers the Room Readiness feature, which enables IT teams to remotely validate the readiness of all connected devices, sensors, etc., in its workspaces. These powerful features will be available for demonstration at Integrated Systems Europe (ISE 2020) February 11 to 14.

Ensuring collaboration spaces remain optimized and running at scale to deliver a positive user experience in today's enterprise environment is a daunting task.

Utelogy's management portal, U-Manage, released last year, already allows operations teams to drill down to see device metrics, documents, and events for all of its connected devices under a single pane of glass. U-Automate, is a productivity tool designed to eliminate the costly, time-consuming, and resource-intensive manual processes enterprises employ today to confirm each conference room and the devices in those rooms are online and functioning properly.

U-Automate delivers the following features to improve efficiency for the IT organization:
* Build scripts by configuring blocks with the ability to enter custom parameters
* Test devices, video and audio calls, state checks, custom macros and more
* Schedule scripts to execute and repeat at any date, time and location
* Review test logs to pro-actively address errors and warnings

"We know that companies spend millions of dollars every year on manual room checks. With U-Automate, operations teams can leverage the technology to reduce labor costs by as much as 75%," said Kevin Morrison, CEO of Utelogy. "Automating the repetitive tasks allows companies to reassign those resources to more strategic, core business activities," added Morrison.

Automation not only delivers productivity gains for the operations team, but also for employees using the meeting room technology. When workplace technology functions the way it's supposed to, it allows employees to focus on the productive, valuable human work, allowing companies to attract and retain the best employees.

Utelogy's U-Automate lays the groundwork for future development efforts targeted to take advantage of machine learning to deliver Artificial Intelligence (AI) that can drive automation features that would include self-healing scenarios.

"Let's assume the AI engine has determined there's a 75 per cent chance a projector issue can be resolved with a reboot. The system could assess whether there are people currently in the room or scheduled to come into the room. If the next meeting is in 10 minutes, and the system knows the projector has a three-minute reboot, it could automatically reboot the projector without any human interaction. We believe self-healing is a key benefit of AI, and we expect that to provide immense business value in the future," Morrison explained.

Room Readiness, powered by U-Automate, will be available for demonstration at Integrated Systems Europe 2020 (ISE 2020) February 11 to 14, 2020 at the RAI in Amsterdam. Utelogy will be in Hall 14 Stand M-170 and interested parties can schedule a demonstration here https://www.utelogy.com/utelogy-demo-ise-2020/.

Loan Officers Executing Automated Marketing Campaigns Close Twice the Deals, Earn Double the Revenue, Top of Mind Finds

ATLANTA, Ga. /ScoopCloud/ -- Top of Mind Networks (Top of Mind), a leader in customer relationship management (CRM) and marketing automation software for the mortgage lending industry, today released data revealing that loan officers (LOs) who utilize automated lead, prospect and nurture campaigns on average see double the number of closed loans and revenue production.

Top of Mind calculations derive from fourth quarter 2019 user behavior and productivity data for individual loan officers at its top 25 percent revenue generating lender clients. Automated marketing campaigns were highly correlated with improved LO performance when outbound marketing campaigns preceded the receipt of a loan application.

In the analysis, LOs leveraging Surefire's automated marketing campaigns closed an average of twice as many loans and produced twice the revenue, in contrast with LOs who did not engage prospects with automated marketing campaigns.

As reported by STRATMOR Group, Top of Mind's flagship CRM and marketing automation platform Surefire is deployed by 74 percent of lenders using similar solutions, making its users' behaviors a best practice indicator for improving LO performance and revenue generation, such as engaging leads with automatically executed, targeted marketing campaigns.

"The most profound insight from our data analysis is that using Surefire not only works as expected, but has the very real ability to substantially lift average closed loan volume and revenue produced by every loan officer," said Top of Mind CEO Bill Hayes. "Even at the simplest macro scale, this is meaningful evidence that using automated marketing campaigns succeeds as a best practice."

About Top of Mind Networks:

Founded in 2003, Atlanta-based Top of Mind Networks (https://www.topofmind.com/) has grown from a bootstrapped post-close, follow-up solution into the leading CRM/marketing automation firm in the mortgage industry. Their Surefire platform is widely regarded as the gold standard in enterprise CRM, automating best practice throughout a borrower's prospect-to-repeat-customer lifecycle.

‘Flu Death Frenzy + Corona Craziness = What?’ says Dr. Harte

CORTE MADERA, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Dr. Don Harte, noted chiropractic activist and former Libertarian State Senate candidate, is "extremely concerned about unsubstantiated reports of flu deaths, along with lack of public health response to Chinese viral threat."

Dr. Harte says, "It seems that our so-called public health officials are deliberately creating fear, and hoping for panic. They are ginning up fears of the flu, combined with a possible corona virus epidemic.

"I am deeply concerned about what others may be relieved about," Dr. Harte admits. "Reports are coming in of corona virus vaccines being rushed to completion and then production, via new technology."

Dr. Harte declares, "New technology seems exciting to some, but in Medicine, it's Russian roulette. Who knows the ramifications, both in safety and efficacy, of this totally novel vaccine for a novel virus? The regular vaccines create enough serious health problems."

"A fascinating, and scary part of this blossoming health problem is that CDC officials are saying, at least for the moment, that influenza, the flu, is a far more serious threat to Americans than the corona virus. What we have here," comments Dr. Harte, "is fear from the corona virus being used, very deliberately, to increase fear of the flu virus, and, thereby, increase sales of the mostly ineffective and definitely risky flu vaccine."

"Perhaps the most serious issue," Dr. Harte notes, "is the believability of the CDC. It has 'cried wolf' far too many times, and continues to do so. For years, the CDC has claimed that the flu kills 36,000 a year in this country. Last flu season, all of a sudden, they claimed 82,000."

"We can only know," Dr. Harte says, "what's going on in China and around the world with the new corona virus through news reports. We all know, from personal life experience, that no one we knew ever died from the flu, while everyone we know has had the flu, many several times. Only the already very sick and feeble ever end up in the hospital. Yes, boys and girls, the CDC is lying. Their quasi-statistical trick," according to Dr. Harte. "is combining flu deaths with pneumonia deaths. Take away pneumonia, and you're left with a few hundred deaths a year in a nation of 320 million. The obvious conclusion? Influenza, the flu, is not a dangerous, fatal disease."

Dr. Harte warns, "When the corona vaccine comes out, watch out for an all-out fear campaign, from state, federal and international sources. If that vaccine will be as ineffective and dangerous as the flu vaccine, I wouldn't trust it."

"Finally," explains Dr. Harte, "the best way to avoid the flu, the corona virus, or any infectious disease, is to get healthy. Eat well, exercise, rest appropriately, and get your nervous system free of interference by regular chiropractic care. Your nervous system runs your immune system, so take care of it! The best way to get the flu is to get a flu shot." Dr. Harte wonders, "It might work the same way for the coming corona virus vaccine. So why do it?"

Dr. Don Harte, former medical student, is a principled, traditional chiropractor serving Marin and the Greater Bay Area since 1981. He is an activist in the struggle for free speech for chiropractors. Dr. Harte was named 2006 "Chiropractor of the Year" by the World Chiropractic Alliance (WCA). He has served on the Boards of the WCA and the Council on Chiropractic Practice. His articles have been published in OMNI magazine, San Francisco Chronicle, Chiropractic Journal and Journal of the California Chiropractic Association.

Johnny Manhattan’s is the First Restaurant in Washington County to Offer a Keto Friendly Menu

HUBERTUS, Wis. /ScoopCloud/ -- Johnny Manhattan's Steakhouse is announcing a keto diet friendly menu. The Milwaukee area supper club has been serving the greater Milwaukee area for more than twenty years, but still keeps up with dining trends and is one of the first in the area to create a menu that allows diners who are sticking to a very-low-carb, moderate-protein, and high-fat diet while out at a restaurant or supper club.

According to restaurant owner Nancy Manhattan, "Most Keto dieters understand the principles of what they can and cannot eat, but without a commitment from the restaurant, there are the hidden ingredients that find their way in. Added sauces or gravies can sneak in sources of carbohydrates from added sugars or flour that you were not intending to eat.

She added, "With the unveiling of the Keto menu at Johnny Manhattan's Keto diners can be assured that their choices will conform to their dietary restrictions."

Keto is becoming more mainstream and chefs at Johnny Manhattan's understand that customers need to modify their meals. Bartenders at the supper club also understand that the supper club experience often includes a cocktail. There are several options for the Keto diet at the bar as well.

27th Annual Blind Willie McTell Music Festival Lineup Announced

THOMSON, Ga. /ScoopCloud/ -- The Activities Council of Thomson proudly announces the lineup of musicians for the 27th Annual Blind Willie McTell Music Festival. This year's date for the iconic day of great roots music is Saturday May 2, in Thomson, Georgia. The one-day event is held in honor of Thomson's Blind Willie McTell, a pioneering guitarist, songwriter and performer.

McTell, a giant of a performer in the first half of the 20th century, was a complete original - whose talent was unmatched regarding early American music. He was born South of Thomson in McDuffie County and is buried in the Happy Valley area of McDuffie County. Modern guitarists, far and wide, cite his influence as a writer, a player, and an entertainer.

The roster for the 27th features a broad swipe of influences from blues to gospel to Americana. The fest this year will feature The War and Treaty, the husband and wife duo of Michael and Tanya Trotter. They won Emerging Act of the Year at the 2019 Americana Music Awards. The award came after a breakthrough 2018 when they released their debut Healing Tide. The disc was produced by Buddy Miller (who headlined the 20th McTell Fest).

In addition, the festival will feature Son Volt, the pre-imminent combo lead by Jay Farrar, who along with Wilco's Jeff Tweedy, was one of the founders of Uncle Tupelo. With the latest disc, Union, Son Volt has released 10 albums of original material by Farrar, all of which is strongly and equally influenced by folk, rock, blues and country styles of music. They've been making strong critically acclaimed music for a couple of decades and we could not be prouder to have them at this year's fest.

Returning to Thomson in 2020 will be the Bros Landreth. Led by Canadians Joey Landreth on guitar and his brother David Landreth on bass, the latest version of their quartet is out touring behind a new disc, "87." They opened our show a few years back in trio format and we're excited for them to return. From Santa Monica, we are honored to introduce Joachim Cooder to Thomson, the home of McTell. Cooder, son of famed guitarist and musicologist Ry Cooder, is a percussionist, drummer and pianist and will be on our stage, fronting his trio. Do a search of his recording credits and you'll see an amazing list of music projects he has participated in. Cooder's eclectic solo material is his own take on the influences he's been exposed to all his life and he's out touring ahead of his second release, slated for later in the year.

Rounding out the lineup will be Atlanta's Blair Crimmins and the Hookers and 12 string guitarist Todd Albright, from Michigan. Crimmins and his band offer an incredible blast of high energy Ragtime and Dixieland music, filtered through a lens of Crimmins originals and rollicking covers from the early 20th century. Albright comes to Thomson from Detroit. Touring solo, he is a wonderful performer, vocalist, and player of the twelve-string guitar. Of course, he's a disciple of McTell, Leadbelly and other great Country blues artists from the past and will right at home on our stage.

Tickets went on sale February 1 at http://www.blindwillie.com/.

Prices for tickets are $35 advance, and $45 on the day of. There is no charge for children, ages 12 and under. Great regional food will again be featured along the food court. Gates open at 11 a.m. in the morning, with music beginning at noon. Come join the fun at the 27th Annual Blind Willie McTell Music Festival.

About the Activities Council of Thomson (ACT):

Organizers of the festival, the Activities Council of Thomson (ACT) are a non-profit organization founded in 1974. ACT was formed to foster education, appreciation and promotion of American arts, particularly those that draw from Southern history, culture and the American experience. To this end, its primary purpose over the past two decades has been to expose this area of Georgia to styles of music and musicians that, without our effort, would likely pass us by. For our work, we were honored with the Governor's Award for the Arts and Humanities in 2014.

‘Death Sentence’ by Illegal Eviction for 88-Year Old Disabled Widow? L.A. Judge Denies Her Request to Stay Execution

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- A Los Angeles Superior Court Judge has cleared the way for the L.A. County Sheriff to evict 88-year old Dorothy Green from her own Brentwood Home of 13 years as soon as Monday morning (February 3). Dorothy's doctor says the eviction is likely to cause serious and potentially fatal harm to Dorothy's health. And her attorney, Larry J. Caldwell, contends the eviction is illegal.

Earlier this week, Dorothy, who is disabled, had filed a request for reasonable accommodation under the Americans with Disabilities Act, asking the L.A. Superior Court for a temporary stay of execution of the eviction.

Dorothy's primary doctor, Alex Gold, M.D., had recommended a 90-day delay of the eviction. "[P]utting Dorothy through the trauma of being evicted from her home now, or in the foreseeable future, will place Dorothy at probable risk of serious harm to her mental and physical health - that could possibly be fatal," in a Declaration filed in court in support of Dorothy's ADA Request.

But on Wednesday, January 30, 2020, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Daniel Juarez denied Dorothy's ADA request, refusing to delay the eviction at all.

Dorothy's attorney, Larry J. Caldwell, believes "the eviction violates Dorothy's right to reasonable accommodation under the federal Americans With Disabilities Act and California's Fair Employment Housing Act that apply to the L.A. Superior Court and the L.A. Sheriff's Department."

"The eviction is also illegal because Dorothy was denied her constitutionally guaranteed due process rights, including her right to jury trial," said Caldwell.

But according to Los Angeles County Supervisor Sheila Kuehl's office, the Sheriff's Department plans to evict Dorothy anyway, unless a court orders them not to.

L.A. celebrity Peggy McIntaggert Seagren, a Green Family friend, said, "I am truly shocked that the Court and Sheriff would risk killing Dorothy Green while our community is still mourning the victims of the tragic helicopter crash."

"We're all painfully mindful of the priceless value of every human life --and how suddenly a beautiful life can be taken," said Seagren.

Caldwell added, "it will be barbaric if the Sheriff illegally kicks a disabled octogenarian widow out of her own home, putting her life in serious danger."

Dorothy's only income is her monthly social security check. She cannot afford to get another home, or to pay for the cost of moving a lifetime of cherished possessions --mementos of the 60 wonderful years she and her late husband Lloyd shared -- in the dream home they built together.

"Even if Dorothy survives the eviction, why add one more homeless person to L.A.'s already overwhelming homeless crisis?" asked Caldwell.

Dorothy Green plans to file an application for an emergency stay in the Second District Court of Appeal later today.

HWPL Finally Here to Beautify California

SAN JOSE, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- On Jan 26, 2020 a non-profit volunteer organization called Heavenly Culture, World Peace Restoration of Light (HWPL) had joined forces with the city of San Jose to beautify the community and the parks of San Jose.

What kind of results can an international peace organization do for the community of San Jose? The results would be partnering up with the San Jose City to create volunteerism of 100 people to clean and beautify a local park that is known and loved dearly. All in a matter of a few days of planning prior to the event.

Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light, colloquially referred to as HWPL, is a non-profit, non-governmental international peace organization. Although it was initially established in Seoul, South Korea, the peace group has branches located in over 200 countries, including one now established in the Northern California region.

As a group working alongside the United Nations to achieve global peace, HWPL collaborates with the International Women's Peace Group (IWPG) and the International Peace Youth Group (IPYG) as the organization's wings in accomplishing international tranquility. HWPL, within the last five years since the establishment of the organization, has found much success in achieving their goals toward peace and volunteerism. The HWPL volunteer programs are recognized as one of the most successful and active volunteer associations around the world.

With over 100 volunteers participating last Sunday, local neighbors, friends, and family filled bags of trash and debris to prevent pollution from washing into the creek and around the city park. With the help of the city providing supplies such as litter sticks, pairs of gloves, volunteer vests, and trash bags, HWPL volunteers were able to diligently give back to the community. Staff members gathered from 2:30 p.m. to collect the equipment and set up booths to distribute tools to pick up trash.

Participants started from 3 p.m. until sundown. Not only is the work of collecting the trash and debris beautifying the community, but it also helps with the anti-graffiti and anti-litter programs of San Jose in their mission to improve the health of the city's environment. This is done by preventing and removing trash throughout the neighborhood.

Arena Green Park, across the street from the San Jose Sharks stadium, is located in the heart of Downtown San Jose. Within the Silicon Valley, many residents struggle financially with the high cost of living beside the affluent, middle-class community. Despite the city's proactive approach to help the low-income and homeless citizens, some residents still face dire poverty.

"One of the biggest problems that the parks face are the trash produced by the homeless community. This is seen at Arena Green Park especially, where sports fans from all over the world visit," one HWPL volunteer stated. "It seems to be a never-ending problem."

With a goal of creating a cleaner and less-polluted environment for the people of San Jose, HWPL strives to collaborate with the city of San Jose to create a beautiful home for the residents of the city. Regardless of gender, race, religion, or political differences, the peace volunteer organization encompasses the human desire to volunteer and lend a helping hand.

During the entire month of February 2020, SDG will donate $50 from each Invisalign case accepted that month with proceeds going directly to the All-Star Smiles Foundation to screen and treat local children who are in need of dental care.

WHERE: Spodak Dental Group, 3911 W. Atlantic Ave., Delray Beach, FL 33445

WHY: "This is an amazing opportunity to provide charitable giving to children who desperately need dental care," said Dr. Craig Spodak, general dentist. "Dental pain is the No. 1 reason a child will visit the emergency room or miss school. It's up to us to provide the care they need so they can either avoid unnecessary pain by treating smaller issues now, or helping them to get out of pain so they can get back to being a kid."

During the seminar Mr. Walsh shared his innovative approach to discovering and leveraging additional sources of compensation for clients of personal injury claims, while maximizing the benefit to the client and law firm. This approach can be especially important in personal injury cases where uninsured or underinsured drivers or companies are involved, and also in cases of shared negligence when many parties are found partially negligent.

Attorney Bernard Walsh had this to say about the summit, "The NTL Trial Summit is always one of the most important and influential conferences during the year. It's essential for attorneys, no matter how much experience they may have, to stay engaged with the legal community as the laws, rules, and business landscape are constantly changing. While it is true that many attorneys here will gain knowledge that will help them run a more competitive law firm, the ultimate goal of the conference is to provide lawyers with the ability to better serve their clients during contested cases, and continue to build and strengthen the American legal system against the influence of outside interests."

The 2020 National Trial Lawyers Summit in Miami was attended by hundreds of attorneys and legal industry professionals from across the nation from many practice areas. As an accredited Continuing Legal Education (CLE) event, attendees of the summit were able to earn CLE credits required by many State Bar Associations, including the Florida Bar Association. CLE credits are a popular way that states use to ensure attorneys stay informed to better serve clients and the justice system as a whole.

IDS Enhances Audit Worksheet Functionality in idsDoc

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah /ScoopCloud/ -- Mortgage document preparation vendor International Document Services, Inc. (IDS), today announced that it has redesigned the audit worksheet feature in its flagship document preparation platform idsDoc. Now, the audit worksheet dynamically displays vital loan information, including a record of audits and tests conducted, in a single, easy-to-read document, providing investors and auditors with a full understanding of the loan file.

"Today's lenders are required to conduct more testing than ever to ensure their loans meet both regulatory and investor requirements, but without proper documentation to prove these tests were conducted, lenders can miss opportunities to pass the first-glance eye test as well as to reference pending due diligence efforts," said IDS Vice President and General Manager Mark Mackey. "This document has quickly become accepted as a compliance certification for many investors' policies. By providing our clients with an easily referenced summary of audit activities, IDS is fulfilling on its promise to our customers to support their compliance efforts and deliver loan packages that are as precise as possible."

In addition to information on which tests and checks were performed, the audit worksheet also includes calculated values on data related to state, local and custom fields, thus providing an additional layer of security regarding compliance. The document is also intended to serve as a reference point to illuminate inaccuracies or differences between regulatory interpretations.

"Between human error and the often obscure nature of regulatory language, data discrepancies are bound to occur in the origination process," Mackey added. "The IDS audit worksheet serves as an added check to help lenders identify these instances before they cause issues or come to the attention of investors and regulators, thus preserving loan quality and lenders' reputations with these key stakeholders, and so far, the worksheet has proven to be an effective tool for achieving these goals."

About IDS, Inc.

IDS, a Reynolds and Reynolds company, was founded in 1986 in Salt Lake City, Utah, and is a nationwide provider of mortgage documents and compliance. IDS services include eSignatures, closing documents, initial disclosures, document fulfillment and integration with leading loan origination systems and eClosing platforms.

Indie-Rock Singer-Songwriter Ryan Chernin Releases Moving New Single, ‘FaceTime’

BROOKLYN, N.Y. /ScoopCloud/ -- Indie-rock singer-songwriter Ryan Chernin, whose debut single on Inhuman Records, "Look Right," rocketed up to 25 on Mediabase's AC Chart, just under Ariana Grande's "Breathin," has just released an edgy new single for 2020, "FaceTime."

Listen to Chernin's new single here: https://youtu.be/9q_jjv-E32U

His debut single also climbed to 24 on Digital Radio Tracker's Top 150. These two chart-notching achievements for the 26-year-old musician are almost unheard-of for a new indie artist and intimate the likelihood of another remarkable success for "FaceTime."

The moving new release tells of a young man who longs for FaceTime with a woman he loves, but when he is finally face-to-face with her, he finds himself with the crushing realization that he is at a loss for words. The shattering experience is sure to resonate with an enormous audience.

"FaceTime" features Ryan's virtuosic guitar playing, which goes beyond familiar riffs to provide inventive melodic lines. His voice is custom-made for pop-rock exuding tantalizing timbers, warm and quixotic tones, and captivating sonic flair.

Chernin is also a designer and crafter of custom guitars.

Chernin's first chart-climbing song and promising new release are both taken from his striking debut album, "You Know Who You Are," an evocative collection of daringly introspective songs about the uncertainties and questions we all experience in love and loss. The captivating storytelling and deeply felt observations are presented in Chernin's distinctive stylistic blend of folk music inspired by the signature sounds of the 60s and 70s and by contemporary indie rock.

The songs are punctuated with unpredictable excursions and insights reminiscent of Paul Simon in such classic songs as "The Sounds of Silence."

Chernin's guitar wizardry weaves perfectly with the raw insight of his lyrics, which span the emotional spectrum from dark self-reflection to danceable celebrations. His inviting pop-rock vocal style demonstrates a stunning range, as he moves smoothly between his evocative falsetto and his sometimes soaring, sometimes almost ineffably expressive baritone

The indie label Inhuman Records, which released his debut album and two singles from it, is a Brooklyn-based art collective founded by Ryan Chernin. It brings together talented friends and artists and explores exciting opportunities to collaborate.

ARMCO Reports Strong 2019, Eyes Further Growth and Expansion in 2020

DENVER, Colo. /ScoopCloud/ -- After a remarkable 2019, ACES Risk Management (ARMCO), the leading provider of enterprise financial risk mitigation solutions, is looking ahead to 2020 for what promises to be an outstanding year. In addition to adding several lenders to its growing roster of clients - including Bay Equity Loans, KWIK Mortgage, The KLR Group and multiple top-25 mortgage companies - ARMCO also achieved a company record in 2019 of one million audits conducted in a single year in its flagship audit platform ACES Audit Technology(TM).

ARMCO also launched several product enhancements in 2019, including a parallel workflow capability that saves time and reduces turn times while maintaining the quality of staff output to the ACES Audit Technology platform. Other noteworthy enhancements include an auto-answer feature that automatically answers audit questions based on available loan data, as well as an enhanced single sign-on that can reduce on-boarding time by more than 50 percent. Encouraged by these accomplishments, the company plans to expand its footprint in 2020 to support risk management, compliance and quality control for financial institutions with multiple loan products and lines, including consumer lending.

"One of the biggest strengths of ACES Audit Technology is its ability to function as an enterprise solution - providing organizations with one platform and removing the need for disparate software solutions and manual processes," ARMCO CEO Trevor Gauthier said. "In 2020, ARMCO seeks to share its technology with new markets, as ACES Audit Technology has proven it is not just a tool that can be used for mortgage quality control, but for any loan quality initiative in a financial institution."

2019 marked the beginning of ARMCO's relationship with New Capital Partners. The private-equity firm partnered with and invested in ARMCO, strengthening ARMCO's position in the industry and enhancing continued growth and innovation. ARMCO also bolstered its ranks with several key hires and promotions in 2019 and early 2020, including Gauthier's appointment as CEO in October 2019. Kyle Kehoe was hired as executive vice president of sales and Cassie Vosburgh joined as executive vice president of finance. Additionally, Sharon Reichhardt was promoted to executive vice president of operations. There have also been a number of additional hires within operations, product and engineering to round out the team and industrialize the platform and organization.

Throughout 2019, ARMCO and its employees were recognized for multiple industry awards. ARMCO was recognized as an innovative technology company and earned its fifth consecutive HousingWire Tech 100 award. For the third year running, ARMCO was named to National Mortgage Professional's Top 100 Mortgage Employers list, and individually, Reichhardt was named one of HousingWire's inaugural Tech Trendsetters.

"In addition to our award-winning technology, our staff is one of the biggest assets ARMCO possesses," Gauthier added. "Whether they are on the front lines helping to improve loan quality or behind the scenes keeping the operational wheels turning, our team of highly capable, caring employees are all dedicated to supporting our clients' success, and the key hires and promotions made in 2019 and early this year will help ARMCO continue to fulfill on that commitment."

After introducing an initiative during the 2018 holiday season, ARMCO also launched ARMCO CARES in 2019, a company-matching gift program. Available to both part-time and full-time employees, ARMCO CARES offers a dollar-for-dollar match of employee donations to a registered 501(c)(3) charitable organization of the employee's choice.

"Giving back is one of ARMCO's key values. Our employees have always been the fuel behind ARMCO's success, and we are grateful to be able to use our success to support those causes that are near and dear to our employees' hearts," Gauthier said. "To date, ARMCO has contributed thousands of dollars to 25 charities through ARMCO CARES, and we look forward to continuing these efforts in 2020."

CONCRETE JUNGLE NO MORE – Catalyst Experiential to Bring Green Space Along Pennsauken, NJ Corridor

NEWTOWN SQUARE, Pa. /ScoopCloud/ — The Township of Pennsauken, New Jersey, in public private partnership with Catalyst Experiential, will bring some much needed green space back to the heavily commercial Pennsauken corridor in the form of two Community Landmarks, a Clocktower on Route 38 and a Monument on Marlton Pike. More than 70% of the land along Route 38 and 70 is zoned commercial, and commercial land can be 85% “impervious” – meaning concrete and asphalt as opposed to landscaping and greenery.

In keeping with that zoning, the actual percentage of impervious surfaces on the commercial land is. . . 85%. Further, businesses maximize the amount of impervious surface for buildings, parking lots, sidewalks, and other things that enable their business to flourish or allow people to get to them.

Catalyst Experiential is working with Pennsauken to introduce nature along two parcels. The first, a Clocktower on Route 38, will replace a car stereo installation shop that occupies an unsightly 1960s single-story purple building. The site, which is almost entirely covered in concrete, will be demolished, and the property will be converted into a vibrant green space with an extensive water feature. The current cold, uninviting concrete building will be transformed into an enticing Clocktower constructed of living plants, an extensive water feature, township identification, and, of course, a clock.

The second is a Monument on Marlton Pike that will replace a closed rug store. It will include a pond as well as township identification.

Amanda Toton, VP of Development for Catalyst Experiential, noted, “The projects both uniquely identify Pennsauken Township, welcome visitors, and revitalize two underutilized parcels in the community.”

The structures each feature high quality digital displays that, in addition to advertising, will be used by the Township as a communication platform that enables quick information-sharing with local residents about community events and other important messages, free of charge.

“Both of these sites have been on our wish list to revitalize,” said, Betsy McBride, former Mayor and a member of the Pennsauken Township Committee. “We are very excited to not only revitalize them, but to transform them into much needed green space in our community.”

The structures fall in line with the Pennsauken Green Team initiative that consists of residents and municipal employees who have a strong interest in the environment and who work towards making Pennsauken Township more sustainable.

The Township participates in Community Visioning, by which residents envision the future they want through meaningful public participation. Stakeholders imagine where they would like the community to be in 10 or 20 years. This shared vision creates the basis for developing goals and completing actions that move the municipality toward a more ideal, sustainable community. This vision is moving towards more green space in the area, with the transformation of two underutilized concrete spaces.

Velocity Credit Union commits to downtown Austin with construction of its new branch

AUSTIN, Texas /ScoopCloud/ -- Velocity Credit Union, a fixture of the Austin financial scene since 1947, has begun site preparation for its new branch office in downtown Austin. To be located on the southeast corner of 12th and Sabine Streets, the new facility is being built immediately across Sabine Street and just to the east of Velocity's current downtown location (610 E. 11th Street). The credit union's headquarters have been at this location for many years. Construction for the new branch is imminent and it is scheduled to be completed in the third quarter of 2020. Once the facility is completed, the old headquarters site will be used for new development.

"We want to assure our members that, in spite of the hardhats, demolition and construction crews they might see, our current downtown office, ATMs and drive-through teller lanes remain fully operational," said Debbie Mitchell, Velocity's president and CEO. "Velocity has operated from our east 12th Street location since 1961 and we remain committed to our downtown members and business relationships. The credit union looks forward to being a vital part of, and partner to those leading, the re-development of the Waller Creek area, the medical center and the evolving residential and entertainment community.

Bank of Southern California N.A. Announces Fourth Quarter and Year End 2019 Results

SAN DIEGO, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Bank of Southern California, N.A. (OTC Pink: BCAL) today reported results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2019. Total assets ended the year at $830 million at December 31, 2019, an increase of 8.1% compared to December 2018. Total loans increased 6.6% to $677 million and total deposits increased 7.0% to $672 million compared to the prior year as well.

Net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2019, was $1.64 million, compared to $1.72 million in Q3 2019 and $2.00 million in Q4 2018. Earnings for the year ended December 31, 2019, were $6.77 million up 29% from $5.26 million for the year ended December 2018. Diluted earnings per share increased to $0.78 for the year ended December 2019 versus $0.71 in the year ended December 2018.

Fourth Quarter 2019 Highlights
* Announced plan of merger with CalWest Bancorp, expected to close in Q2 2020
* Announced completion of capital offering and plans to form Holding Company

Nathan Rogge, President and CEO of Bank of Southern California said, "We produced solid results for 2019 and continue to increase meaningful loan and deposit relationships while maintaining strong credit quality across our portfolio. Specifically, we reported strong commercial and industrial loan growth, increased non-interest bearing DDA, and a rise in total assets, largely attributed to our recent capital raise."

The Banks' focus on C&I lending is not only reflected in a 14% increase in outstanding C&I loans during the year, but also in undisbursed C&I commitments, which increased 46% during the year. Non-interest bearing demand deposits, increased 22% during 2019, a result of our emphasis on relationship-based banking.

"As we enter 2020, we remain focused on advancing and driving growth in the Southern California market. Our strategic merger with CalWest Bank will provide us with an expanded branch presence covering Orange County and the Inland Empire as well as operational synergies and efficiencies, thus allowing us to better serve the business community. The merger is anticipated to close in the second quarter of 2020," concluded Rogge.

John Farkash, Chairman of the Board said, "We are pleased to report another solid quarter to close out 2019. The Bank has achieved good momentum in executing our strategy and moving towards a relationship-focused approach to banking. As we look ahead, we remain focused on driving long-term value for our customers and shareholders."

Additional Financial Highlights
* Total loans decreased $8 million during the 4th quarter to $677 million at quarter end; the reduction was primarily related to construction loans, which declined $10 million during the quarter as projects paid off as planned. The pace of total loan payoffs slowed in the second half of 2019 to $37 million, down from the $62 million pace set in the first six months of the year. Compared to the first half of the year, new loan origination units increased by 28% in the second half of the year resulting in $155 million in total gross loan commitments in 2019.
* During 2019, the Bank has focused on improving its core deposit portfolio. This is not only reflected in the 22% growth in noninterest-bearing demand (DDA) during 2019, but also in the growth of money market deposits, which increased $26 million, or 12%, during 2019. This core deposit growth allowed the Bank to decrease reliance on higher cost time deposits, which declined 9% during 2019.
* Noninterest expenses grew $3.6 million in 2019 compared to 2018. However, both years include non-recurring costs associated with merger and restructuring expenses, $2.1 million in 2018 related to the merger with Americas United Bank, and $592k in 2019 associated with the plan of merger with CalWest Bank.
* Nonperforming assets continue to be very low and were 0.23% of total assets at December 31, 2019, compared to 0.60% at December 31, 2018. The allowance for loan losses (ALLL) was 0.79% of total loans at December 31, 2019, up from 0.69% at December 31, 2018. When including $1.9 million in loan fair value credit marks (LFVCM), the ALLL and LFVCM represent 1.07% of total loans versus 1.10% at December 31, 2018.
