Educators Worldwide Embrace Gan Jing Campus on Gan Jing World

MIDDLETOWN, N.Y. /ScoopCloud/ -- Gan Jing World, an online platform dedicated to creating a digital community filled with wholesome content, announced its latest initiative Gan Jing Campus. Understanding the pivotal role teachers play in shaping young minds, the platform introduced the program to empower educators with an array of tools and resources that help build positive classroom communities and promote kindness among students.

The announcement of the program received high praise from teachers and schools worldwide, many who are eager to leverage the new program's Premium Channel features, professional development courses, and kindness event toolkits to help build a truly positive, interactive classroom community, and boost student morale.

Whole School Participation

The "Kindness is Cool" contest, launched in early September, is one of Gan Jing World's global events to help teachers promote kindness in schools.

In a video presented by over a thousand middle school students of SMPN 12 Batam, Indonesia, students gathered along with their principal and together cheered, "Kindness is cool, Kebaikan itu keren. Thank you, Gan Jing World!"

Principal Ms. Dra. Nurmi, MM, expressed her heartfelt thanks to Gan Jing World, "[Gan Jing World] is deeply connected with our school, because here we taught students how to do good deeds. I love Gan Jing World's message encouraging good content!"

Taiwan Teacher Expresses Gratitude

Yali Zheng, a mentor teacher at the Development and Information Institute of Hsinchu County Education in Taiwan, expressed her gratitude for Gan Jing World.

"In the past, no one could propose a solution to the adverse effects of the internet on children. Now, Gan Jing World has taken the most challenging step," she said.

With a platform "created for children, teachers, parents, and everyone," Ms. Zheng said. "I can encourage children and parents to come here regularly, which can strengthen class cohesion."

"A Great Gift for Teachers"

Laurence Jossomme-Lefebvre, a Pre-K and Kindergarten teacher from Méry sur Oise, France, expressed her gratitude, "I immediately found this idea of a kindness contest very positive! It really broke the current gloom. It's a great gift for teachers and educators. It empowers students and children to confront this anxiety-inducing society."

"In France, we focus a lot on bullying. I think we're unfortunately perpetuating a kind of 'vicious circle' because we're constantly bringing up negative situations, rather than finding constructive solutions beforehand," she said.

"We need to build something positive and try to create a 'virtuous' circle, all together, creating links, cooperating with teachers in our school groups, families and all school partners, because we are all responsible for the education of children."

A Little Boy's Change

Adel Mansilla, a mother of two young children and a school teacher in Boston, was amazed by how having kindness as the center of education has helped change children both at school and at home.

"At home, as soon as my family started to participate in the 'Kindness Is Cool' project, I've noticed that my son started helping me and his little sister with no hesitation. He got used to the fact that each little act of kindness is a reason to celebrate and share it with the world," Ms. Mansilla wrote.

"Nowadays, society focuses so much on content, on facts, on performance, but we often forget that what's more important for our children, and hence for our future as humanity, is whether we will teach them the core values. As I learned, children respond so naturally to any activity that deals with kindness."

L. Ron Hubbard’s Winter Wonderland Celebrates 40 Years of Making Christmas Special for Hollywood Families and Visitors in Town for the Holidays

HOLLYWOOD, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Traffic came to a standstill on Hollywood Boulevard Sunday, December 3, as Santa Claus drove up on a red Harley-Davidson Electra Glide to cut the ribbon, opening L. Ron Hubbard's Winter Wonderland adjacent to the Church of Scientology Los Angeles Information Center. He was joined by his elves, Los Angeles Fire Department Deputy Chief Richard Fields, and nationally syndicated radio show host Kerri Kasem to the delight of hundreds of cheering children.

Just a week earlier, Kasem had her first opportunity to see this year's Winter Wonderland when she rode by on a float in the Hollywood Christmas Parade. The theme of the float was the precept "Love and Help Children" from The Way to Happiness, the nonreligious moral code written by Mr. Hubbard.

"Winter Wonderland is a beautiful annual tradition," said Kasem, "and it is wonderful to see so many children enjoying themselves for the holidays."

Once the ribbon was cut, the fun began, including live entertainment, face painting, and Santa, who held court with his elves in his cabin where he gave out Christmas gifts and posed for photos with the kids.

The tradition of L. Ron Hubbard's Winter Wonderland began in 1983 when author, humanitarian and Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard first presented a giant Christmas tree in a holiday setting as a gift to the children of Hollywood. The Friends of L. Ron Hubbard Foundation and the Church of Scientology continue the four-decade tradition, providing a safe and beautiful location for families throughout the holidays. "We hope to welcome everyone to enjoy this setting for many more generations to come," said Friends of L. Ron Hubbard spokesperson Louis Ricketts.

Winter Wonderland features a 6,000-pound grand fir in a forest of evergreens surrounding Santa's home and a banner carrying Mr. Hubbard's timeless message: "On the day when we can fully trust each other, there will be peace on Earth."

For more information, contact friendsofron@lronhubbard.org or visit L. Ron Hubbard's Winter Wonderland Facebook page for updates on events and activities.

To learn more about Mr. Hubbard, visit the L. Ron Hubbard website or watch programming including episodes of L. Ron Hubbard: In His Own Voice on the Scientology Network, available on DIRECTV Channel 320, DIRECTV STREAM, AT&T U-verse and streaming at Scientology.tv, on mobile apps and via the Roku, Amazon Fire and Apple TV platforms.

International Human Rights Day Open House to Commemorate the 75th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights

FLORENCE, Ky. /ScoopCloud/ -- Award-winning human rights and anti-trafficking activist Harold D'Souza, president and cofounder of Eyes Open International, will be guest speaker Sunday, December 10, at an International Human Rights Day celebration at the Church of Scientology of Greater Cincinnati from 2 to 3:30 p.m. at 283 Main St., Florence, Kentucky.

The event will commemorate and celebrate the 75th anniversary of the United Nations' adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). All are invited to attend.

Cincinnati-based D'Souza is an expert consultant to the State Department Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons. He served on the United States Advisory Council on Human Trafficking under the last two presidential administrations.

Youth for Human Rights International honored D'Souza earlier this year, presenting him with its Human Rights Hero Award in July 2023 at United Nations headquarters in New York.

Although the UDHR was adopted 75 years ago, current news reveals horrific abuses and violations of the rights enshrined in the document: poverty and hunger, human trafficking, religious repression and war.

Scientology Churches and their members believe human rights education can change the landscape. They are inspired by author, humanitarian and Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard who believed that "human rights must be made a fact, not an idealistic dream." To accomplish this, they sponsor one of the world's most comprehensive human rights education and public information initiatives, United for Human Rights and its program for young people Youth for Human Rights. These nonprofits aim to create a sea change by teaching young people everywhere their inalienable rights, thus creating an entire generation of leaders who will demand full implementation of the 30 articles of the UDHR.

"Those who do not know their own rights and responsibilities will not demand or defend them for themselves or others," says April Wallace, public relations officer for the Church of Scientology of Greater Cincinnati. "Surveys show most people can name only a few of the 30 rights enshrined in the Declaration. We invite young and old to learn how human rights violations impact Greater Cincinnati and what we can do to secure the rights of all members of our community."

To reserve seats for the program, call the Church of Scientology of Greater Cincinnati at (859) 962-5080.

To learn more about United for Human Rights visit their website or watch The Story of Human Rights or public service announcements on each of the articles of the UDHR on the Scientology Network.

PHOENIX, Ariz. /ScoopCloud/ -- For the past 11 years, CEO Dr. Velma Trayham and her team at Thinkzilla Consulting have been addressing inequality by building and managing programs with the support of public and private partnerships, advancing economic opportunities across diverse and underserved U.S. communities. In addition to the many holidays this month, Dr. Trayham and Thinkzilla, one of the fastest-growing consulting firms in the country, have a lot to celebrate.

"Entrepreneurs of color represent the fastest-growing segment of the small business market, yet they have the least access to capital, are more likely to be denied credit, and have limited access to entrepreneurial training and technical assistance that would allow them to win multi-million dollar contracts through supplier diversity and contracting opportunities. Thinkzilla is solving this problem," Dr. Trayham said. "We are proud to partner with government entities and corporations to expand access and contracting opportunities for underserved businesses. We all have a lot to celebrate this year."

She also joined CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion(tm) in an unprecedented commitment to advance diversity and inclusion in the workplace.

The firm's programs have supported over 8,000 underserved entrepreneurs over the past 11 years, spurring more than $400 million in economic impact and advancement for diverse businesses. During that time, Thinkzilla launched a proprietary DEI Scorecard, used by hundreds nationwide to help organizations grow diversity, equity, and inclusion. Thinkzilla also developed IMPACT AZ 2025 in collaboration with the Arizona Black Chamber, Arizona's largest technical assistance Supplier Diversity accelerator for Black entrepreneurs, which includes the support of JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, the City of Phoenix, the City of Scottsdale, and many more.

"Small businesses are the heartbeat of our economy, accounting for almost half of our GDP and employing nearly half of all private-sector workers, which is why we devote so much time and energy to supporting and sparking small business growth," Dr. Trayham added. "Over the next five years, we aim to triple our impact, creating job opportunities, expanding public and private partnerships, and helping hundreds of communities foster innovation and bridge the racial wealth gap."

FormFree appoints Solvent CEO DIVINE as head of culture

ATHENS, Ga. /ScoopCloud/ -- FormFree® today announced the appointment of former hip-hop/rap recording artist-turned-techpreneur Victor D. Lombard, professionally known as DIVINE, as head of culture.

DIVINE is the CEO and founder of Solvent, a fintech focused on financial empowerment for marginalized groups. Solvent broke ground in 2022 when it was accepted as part of the inaugural cohort of Amazon's AWS Impact Accelerator for Black Founders, an eight-week program designed to help high-potential, pre-seed startups led by under-represented founders.

Additionally in 2022, Solvent was accepted into Village Capital's Innovations in Justice Tech, a fellowship program in collaboration with AmFam Institute and Dream.org that supports entrepreneurs building innovations to improve the lives of individuals and communities impacted by the justice system.

DIVINE grew up in Fort Greene, Brooklyn, and endured childhood poverty and incarceration at age 19. Realizing his potential was boundless but his options were limited, following his release DIVINE took a leap of faith and asked Ben Horowitz, general partner and co-founder of venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz, to mentor him. Horowitz, who grew up a hip-hop/rap fan in Berkeley, California, agreed. The mentorship proved a turning point for DIVINE, and his transformation from system-impacted youth to tech-founder has been featured in Forbes, TechCrunch, Black Enterprise, Entrepreneur and Inc.

"We are extremely pleased that DIVINE has joined us and feel he is uniquely qualified to convey our message of financial parity for unserved and underserved communities," said FormFree CEO and founder Brent Chandler. "DIVINE will be on the front lines of FormFree's engagement of unserved and underserved communities he connects with in ways that are authentic and impactful."

DIVINE joined Chandler and Kevin Harrington of ABC's Shark Tank fame at the Mortgage Bankers Association's 2023 Convention & Expo in support of FormFree's launch of Passport and the FormFree Exchange (FFX). Following a discussion of the opportunities lenders have to meet a diverse array of homebuyers with a consumer-centric experience, DIVINE closed out the session with a performance of his song H.O.P.E. (Helping Oppressed People Elevate).

As head of culture at FormFree, DIVINE will use his new platform and hip-hop/rap talent to reach out to unserved and underserved urban renters with messages of financial empowerment and hope. Further, DIVINE will work closely with Harrington in a collaborative partnership with FormFree to bring awareness and empowerment to this audience.

"Hip-hop/rap culture and music in particular is a universal and global language," said DIVINE. "What better way than using it to help build awareness of the benefits of homeownership and provide a technology bridge so people will be able to take control of their financial futures."

"Technologies like Passport and the FormFree Exchange can change everything for minority homebuyers, getting rid of the disregard on one side and distrust on the other. It takes all the judgment away. Borrowers can raise their profile with lenders, and lenders know they're creditworthy and compete for their business, so it's a win-win for buyers and lenders," added DIVINE. "With Solvent and FormFree's shared mission and vision, there's a perfect alignment, and I'm really proud to be part of this unique partnership to bring about transformation."

About FormFree®:

FormFree empowers consumers to understand their ability to pay and share it with lenders like never before. Using FormFree's Passport® app, consumers can verify all the core financial data required by loan underwriters - including identity, assets, income, employment credit history and cash-flow data - in seconds. Once consumers are ready to transact, they can anonymously share their verified data on the FormFree Exchange (FFX) and receive immediate offers from a marketplace of lenders who fully understand their ability to pay, residual income and eligibility for down payment assistance and inclusive lending programs. For more information, visit https://www.formfree.com/ or follow FormFree on LinkedIn.

Church of Scientology Pasadena Open House and Interfaith Panel Promotes Respect, Diversity and Religious Freedom for All

PASADENA, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- A religious freedom conference and open house at the Church of Scientology Pasadena brought faith leaders together to promote diversity and respect at a time when rising hate crimes, conflict and war bring the importance of religious freedom and understanding into sharp relief. The Los Angeles County Human Relations Commission reports that hate crimes in Los Angeles County have reached the second highest level in more than 20 years. And the news is filled with religious conflicts that have spiraled into war.

December 10 marks the 75th anniversary of the United Nation's adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). The preamble of the document points out that "recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world."

A recent interfaith panel, held in the Chapel of the Church of Scientology Pasadena, highlighted Universal Declaration of Human Rights Article #18. "Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship and observance."

Leaders of diverse faiths shared their views and those attending realized how many of their core beliefs are held in common.

"It is absolutely necessary for faith leaders to come together," said one participant. "They are the compass for the rest of society."

"This event inspired me to be active in raising awareness about human rights," said another, "and to back that up with action to make it real."

Church of Scientology Pasadena public affairs director Karla Bartholomew hosted the program and said, "Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard stressed the rights of all religions to practice their faith in peace. He began the Creed of the Church of Scientology stating that 'all men of whatever race, color or creed were created with equal rights,' and that 'all men have inalienable rights to their own religious practices and their performance.' That is why we feel it is vital to bring diverse faiths together in support of religious freedom."

The Church of Scientology Pasadena is committed to interfaith activities and helping to make Pasadena a model of tolerance and peace. An Ideal Scientology Organization, the Church is configured not only to service Scientologists in their ascent to spiritual freedom but also to serve as a home for the entire community-a meeting ground of cooperative effort to uplift people of all denominations.

The Church of Scientology Pasadena was dedicated by Scientology ecclesiastical leader Mr. David Miscavige in 2010 and is featured in an episode of Destination: Scientology on the Scientology Network.

For more information, visit the Church of Scientology Pasadena at 35 South Raymond Ave. in Old Pasadena, open Monday through Saturday 9:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. and Sundays 9:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.

Jenna Elfman Hosts ‘Christmas Stories’ To Benefit Underserved Children

HOLLYWOOD, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- The Church of Scientology Celebrity Centre presented "Christmas Stories" December 1 and 2. Artists, including Golden Globe Award-winning actress Jenna Elfman ("Fear the Walking Dead") and Emmy Award-winners Nancy Cartwright ("The Simpsons") and Michelle Stafford ("The Young and the Restless"), performed holiday-themed skits and songs to raise funds to benefit the Hollywood Police Department's youth development programs for at-risk youth. Show proceeds also support the Hollywood Police Department's annual holiday toy give-away for underserved children.

The Christmas Stories stage is a 1930s-style radio show setting. Since 1993, the annual benefit has raised more than $500,000 for these community programs.

Hollywood police youth programs are operated by the police officers themselves and include educational, recreational and athletics activities as an alternative to gangs. This approach furnishes positive role models for Hollywood youth while providing them leadership and life skills.

Organized in cooperation with the Hollywood community, the Hollywood LAPD holiday toy give-away provides toys to local children who would otherwise have no Christmas gifts. Hundreds of toys are delivered in person each year by LAPD officers.

Stepping to the stage at the beginning of the "Christmas Stories" second act, LAPD Hollywood Division Captain Michael Rippe delivered a heartfelt message of appreciation to the Church and its parishioners. "Drive any boulevard here in Hollywood, you will see the investment that has poured in over the past two decades," he said. "What we have gained in Hollywood is not by accident. It is because of the strong partnerships we have, including the Church. It takes strong partners to raise a community, and that's what we've done. And we end up with a vibrant community where families, and kids and the people that we have reached out to, that the Church has reached out to and touched, know they are going to be supported. They know they will not be forgotten, and they know they will not go without. And that is again, because of your generosity and the partnerships we have created."

Celebrity Center Vice President Greg LaClaire echoed these sentiments.

Lowell Chamber Orchestra Receives Three-Year Funding for Advancement Of BIPOC Composers

LOWELL, Mass. /ScoopCloud/ -- The Lowell Chamber Orchestra (LCO) has been inducted into the Barr Foundation's "Creative Vitality Grant Program," in order to continue its mission of providing the greater Lowell area with the most diverse classical music.

Barr's new Creative Vitality grant program builds on the Foundation's racial equity work to date and their commitment to centering BIPOC artists, organizations, and communities in their program strategies. Creative Vitality is an opportunity to expand the understanding and support of the BIPOC arts ecosystem more broadly by supporting arts organizations.

The Lowell Chamber Orchestra will receive funding over three years to expand the understanding and appreciation of BIPOC composers in classical music.

"The Lowell Chamber Orchestra will use this grant to further include the work of BIPOC artists," says LCO's Music Director Orlando Cela. "After we got the news, I decided to revisit the remainder of the season and include a work by South African composer Bongani Ndodana-Breen in our upcoming December concert, and the Symphony for Violas and Basses by the little-known but consequential African-American composer Julia Perry in our February performance."

The orchestra also plans to present educational events that will introduce the contributions of BIPOC composers such as Florence Price, William Grant Still, George Lewis, and many others, to classical music.

About The Lowell Chamber Orchestra:

The Lowell Chamber Orchestra is Lowell's first and only professional orchestra. They provide the area with classical music at a very high level, of all styles and time periods, entirely free to the general population. The Lowell Chamber Orchestra is a component fund supported by the Greater Lowell Community Foundation, a tax exempt 501(c)(3) organization.

San Francisco Chapter of Les Dames d’Escoffier International Selects Two Bay Area Women to Receive Business and Mentorship Grants

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- The San Francisco Chapter of Les Dames d'Escoffier International (LDEI-SF) is thrilled to announce the grant winners of their inaugural 2023 Female Entrepreneurship Grant and Mentorship program: Stephanie de la Cruz of De La Creamery in Oakland and Wendy Lieu of Socola Chocolatier in San Francisco.

The mission of the LDEI-SF Female Entrepreneur Grant and Mentorship program is to support SF Bay Area female-owned businesses in the food, culinary and hospitality industry with cash awards of $5,000 to help them expand and enhance their business. This is an exciting opportunity to help advance the grant winner's businesses through financial support and ongoing mentorship.

The grant recipients will receive benefit from a full year of mentoring meetings amongst fellow accomplished business owners, entrepreneurs, and members of the LDEI-SF Business Grant Committee: Mary Gassen, Emily Luchetti, Maryam Ahmed, Linda Carucci, Sue Conley, Duskie Estes, Janet Griggs, Marsha McBride, and Dominica Rice-Cisneros. In addition, they will receive access to relationship-building and networking as part of LDEI-SF's extensive and thriving membership.

"The LDEI Grant committee was honored to receive more than 20 applications in our inaugural year from very qualified woman-owned food businesses in the Bay Area," said co-chair of LDEI-SF's Business Grant Committee Mary Gassen, who created the concept. "The financial award is important to both businesses, but we feel that the year-long mentorship these businesses will receive from our chapter will be invaluable."

The Grant Recipients

Stephanie De La Cruz worked in events and hospitality for many years, but upon losing her job during the COVID-19 pandemic, started making ice cream. Stephanie decided to take on the challenge of making horchata ice cream; a prominent flavor in many taquerias and Mexican homes. Once the recipe was mastered, she started developing a line of ice cream flavors dedicated to her Mexican heritage and culture. Shortly after, De La Creamery was born. In 2023, she took out her first business loan, and looks forward to eventually expanding her business into a brick-and-mortar location.

"I am looking forward to learning and being connected to the talented creators of the Bay Area, many of which are household names for our community," stated De La Cruz. "We will be able to pave the steps to following in their footsteps."

Wendy Lieu has been making handmade chocolates and confections that reflect the diverse flavors of her Vietnamese heritage for over 22 years. A self-taught Chocolatier, Wendy also attended classes at the Culinary Institute of America and evening classes at Pastry School at Tante Marie Cooking School in San Francisco, and took the plunge into full business ownership through a Business Planning Course at Renaissance Entrepreneurship Center. She also holds a degree in Managerial Economics from UC Davis.

Timing of the award is particularly advantageous for Lieu, who will celebrate the store's 10-year anniversary next February. "I am so excited to be able to refresh the store with new signage and updates to make it an even more inviting space for our customers. I also look forward to the mentorship to grow my business."

This year's awards were made possible due to the generous support of Mijenta Tequila and the fundraising efforts of the San Francisco chapter of LDEI-SF, as well as the commitment of mentoring time and talent of the chapter's Dames. A gathering to celebrate the award winners will be held in the Bay Area in early 2024.

Empire Strykers of the Major Arena Soccer League Sign Marco Fabian, International Soccer Star and Gold Medalist with Mexican National Team

ONTARIO, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- The Empire Strykers of the Major Arena Soccer League (MASL), have announced the signing of former Mexican International Marco Fabian to a two-year contract. The monetary terms of the deal were not disclosed as per policy of the MASL. The contract is a landmark deal in the MASL, North America's premier indoor soccer league, now playing in their 10th anniversary season.

What makes the deal a first of its kind is that as part of the deal, Fabian has the right to own and operate a team in the league once his two-year deal with Empire expires. Fabian has had a storied career from Chivas of Guadalajara to the Philadelphia Union of Major League Soccer, along with stops in the first division in Germany, Qatar, and Andorra.

The skilled midfielder has been capped 43 times by Mexico, playing in the 2014 and 2018 World Cups. Fabian scored 5 goals in the 2012 Olympics, helping to lead Mexico to the Gold Medal. He is currently finishing up with his club team, Santa Coloma in Andorra. Fabian is expected to train with his new team shortly and be available to play in the team's home opener, Friday, December 15th vs the Baltimore Blast at the Toyota Arena in Ontario, California.

"The Empire Region is maturing in its stature as a leading economic driver in Southern California and deserves to have an asset like The Strykers that reflects that reality. Our goal as an organization is nothing short of winning championships and I look forward to bringing the first major league sport national championship to the Empire Region soon, so the area gets the due that it deserves," said Jeff Burum, owner of the Strykers. "Obviously adding a player of this caliber like Marco, who had success at so many levels, winning Olympic Gold, and excelling in the Mexican Football League, Bundesliga, Gold Cup, World Cup, and major league soccer to the team will make a significant impact and help us become the best team in this league."

As for his play, ESPN in a bio-piece described him this way, "His balance and poise on the ball is impeccable ... Equally adept on either foot, he can play on either wing or as an attacking midfielder and breezes past defenders as if they are not there. Fabián also has that knack of scoring spectacular goals that help win fans over."

"I am excited to once again play soccer in the United States at the professional level and I am looking forward to the unique challenges and opportunities that the indoor game offers," said Fabián. "My athleticism and aggressive attacking style of play will be an asset that I believe will make me very successful for the Strykers and I am going to make the Empire Region, that Jeff Burum has told me so much about, proud."

Not only a star on the field and now in the arena, but he is also an asset to his greater community. Fabián helped fund a football academy in Guadalajara, Mexico. It provides football coaching, and nutritional and psychological advice to participants under the direct supervision of Fabián himself. One graduate of the program reportedly signed with Brazilian club Santos FC in 2016.

About Major Arena Soccer League:

The Major Arena Soccer League represents the highest level of professional indoor soccer in the world. The MASL features teams across North America, with teams playing coast-to-coast in the United States and Mexico, and players from over 15 countries. The MASL is currently incorporated as a 501(c)6 not for profit corporation formed to promote the business and sport of indoor soccer. For more information visit https://www.maslsoccer.com/.

Reimagining Wellness: At Charles E. Smith Life Communities The Age-Old House Calls Are An Innovative Approach To Healthcare

ROCKVILLE, Md. /ScoopCloud/ -- Charles E. Smith Life Communities (CESLC) announced the recent promotion of Dr. Elisa Gil-Pires to executive vice president, medical affairs/chief medical officer and medical director of Charles E. Smith Life Communities. Dr. Gil-Pires leads a team of world-class doctors who still make house calls.

CESLC is one of the few senior living communities offering extensive medical care conveniently on their campus. Gil-Pires leads a team of five full-time internal medicine physicians who are employed by CESLC and specialize in treating older adults, along with a full team of medical consultants, including a psychiatrist, a physiatrist, a dentist, an optometrist, an audiologist and a dermatologist.

For Gil-Pires, providing such a comprehensive health and wellness care program for CESLC residents should be the standard instead of the exception. "At Charles E. Smith Life Communities, our medical practice focuses on treating the whole person, not just a set of diagnoses. We take the time to learn about the patient and their choices for the plan of care," she said.

Dr. Gil-Pires and her team are wholly committed to delivering top medical care for seniors. The on-campus Hebrew Home of Greater Washington has a five-star overall quality rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. The Hirsh Health Center, a primary senior care medical practice, is open to the public and, unlike many medical practices, is still welcoming Medicare patients and making house calls to those living on campus.

"The approach we take to care at CESLC reflects my vision of person-centered care," said Dr. Gil-Pires. "I walk into a patient's apartment and see black and white photos - I see their weddings, families and careers. Their story unfolds through their photographs. Seeing people as people, regardless of their age, is central to our mission and so important to empowering our residents."

"What makes us unique on the CESLC campus is that I have a doctor managing each location - short-term rehabilitation, long-term care, outpatient, assisted living and memory care assisted living and our apartment residences. And there is a doctor on-premises six days a week," she said. "No senior living campus in the DC Metro area offers this level of medical services, and our doctors still make house calls. House calls are invaluable to our residents, especially those in memory care who struggle with going out to see community doctors."

Both residential and health services are spread across the 38-acre campus in the Maryland suburbs of Washington, DC. Skilled nursing care is through their Wasserman and Smith-Kogod Residences, with the Slavin Post-Acute Care Center at the Hebrew Home of Greater Washington; independent living at Revitz House and Ring House; assisted living at Landow House; memory care at Cohen-Rosen House and geriatric primary care at Hirsh Health Center. Also headquartered on their campus is SmithLife Home Care.

Dr. Gil-Pires' interest in helping seniors started when she was 15, growing up in Connecticut, attending high school next door to a nursing home. As part of her National Honor Society service project, she volunteered in the recreation department at that nursing home. And one year later, they offered her a summer job. "I developed my passion for making a difference in the lives of seniors, and I wanted to pursue a career that would help me support that dream."

In her present role, Gil-Pires oversees all clinical and administrative aspects of the senior living community's medical services. She also serves as site director for the National Institutes of Health Hospice and Palliative Medicine Fellowship program at CESLC, as well as site director for the Conway School of Nursing advanced nurse program at the Catholic University of America.

Board-certified in internal medicine, geriatric medicine and hospice and palliative care, Gil-Pires earned her medical degree from St. George's University School of Medicine and completed her residency at the University of Maryland Medical System in Baltimore. Before joining CESLC, she served as chief of geriatrics and palliative care at Saint Francis Hospital and Medical Center in Hartford, CT.

About CESLC:

Charles E. Smith Life Communities (CESLC), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization serving more than 1,100 older adults, is located on a 38-acre campus in Rockville, Maryland. Established as the Hebrew Home of Greater Washington in 1910, CESLC is committed to providing residents meaningful connections, intellectual pursuits, artistic expression, active social lives and cultural exploration. CESLC offers independent living at Revitz House and Ring House; assisted living at Landow House; memory care at Cohen-Rosen House, with services including post-acute care and long-term skilled nursing care at Hebrew Home of Greater Washington; medical care at Hirsh Health Center; and temporary shelter and advocacy for victims of elder abuse at the ElderSAFE(tm) Center.

Floify launches comprehensive lending platform for mortgage brokers

BOULDER, Colo. /ScoopCloud/ -- Floify, the mortgage industry's leading point-of-sale (POS), today announced the launch of Floify Broker Edition, an easy-to-use, one-stop lending platform for mortgage brokers.

"Floify Broker Edition is born out of a deep understanding of the unique challenges faced by mortgage brokers, which include juggling a burdensome administrative workload, regulatory compliance and multiple technologies with minimal support," said Floify President and General Manager Sofia Rossato. "The platform is designed to make mortgage lending easier and more cost-effective while enabling mortgage brokers to provide a sleek and intuitive loan management portal for borrowers."

Built on the foundation of the classic Floify POS platform, Broker Edition has been thoughtfully configured to make managing loans simpler at an accessible price point. Floify's borrower-friendly interface increases application pull-through, while rule-based automations promote operational efficiency by performing rote tasks and advancing loans behind the scenes.

Broker Edition comes equipped with four pillar features that enable brokers to use the platform in lieu of a traditional loan origination system (LOS) or as a complement to their existing LOS.

* Mortgage Call Reports (MCR) functionality allows brokers to swiftly generate mandatory NMLS reporting documentation and export reports by quarter, year and state, streamlining a burdensome compliance requirement.

* Dual Automated Underwriting System (AUS) functionality enables brokers to order AUS findings from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and view findings side-by-side to identify documentation requirements and counsel borrowers more effectively.

* A Product Pricing Engine (PPE) integration with Lender Price's PPE automatically syncs borrower 1003 data so brokers can provide accurate, real-time pricing quotes.

* A United Wholesale Mortgage (UWM) integration enables brokers to electronically submit loan applications to UWM, substantially expediting the loan submission process.

"Brokers deserve access to the same quality tools as their enterprise lender colleagues and Floify Broker Edition provides exactly that," said Rossato. "We are proud to offer a complete lending platform that makes financing homes easier for brokers and the borrowers they serve."

About Floify

Floify is a digital mortgage automation solution that streamlines the loan process by providing a secure application, communication, and document portal between lenders, borrowers, referral partners, and other mortgage stakeholders. Loan originators use the platform to collect and verify borrower documentation, track loan progress, communicate with borrowers and real estate agents, and close loans faster. The company is based in Boulder, Colorado and is a subsidiary of Porch Group, Inc. ("Porch Group") (NASDAQ: PRCH).

A Scientology Volunteer Minister's mandate is to be "a person who helps his fellow man on a volunteer basis by restoring purpose, truth and spiritual values to the lives of others." Their creed: "A Volunteer Minister does not shut his eyes to the pain, evil and injustice of existence. Rather, he is trained to handle these things and help others achieve relief from them and new personal strength as well."

New Interactive Timeline on Scientology.org Shows What Scientologists Mean When They Say ‘Our Help is Yours’

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- At the 39th anniversary of the International Association of Scientologists (IAS), Scientology ecclesiastical leader Mr. David Miscavige briefed the 7,000 members and guests gathered at Saint Hill in the UK on the magnitude and impact of humanitarian and social betterment activities supported by the IAS over the past four years.

Transforming Content Marketing: Meet Yaa Boakye and Lauren Wallett, the Visionaries Behind Creatrix Prescriptive AI

NEW YORK CITY, N.Y. /ScoopCloud/ -- Creatrix SaaS announces the world's first custom-built prescriptive AI: a visionary collaboration between Lauren Wallett and Yaa Boakye. Creatrix is a revolutionary Prescriptive AI platform that is set to transform creative content marketing.

Lauren Wallett: Creatrix Visionary

Conceived by South African innovator Lauren Wallett, Creatrix marks a new era for creatives by offering data-infused strategies and custom marketing deliverables - at the touch of a button.

A seasoned entrepreneur, Lauren brings 20 years of expertise to Creatrix. Her vision is for Creatrix to set the standard of excellence for modern-day marketing.

How It Works

Creatrix is an all-in-one content marketing generator. Like a universal travel adapter, it takes predictive analytics, audience sentiment, personalized creative direction, and generative AI into one super-tool. It prescribes what content will get the best results and then it creates that content for you.

Currently, there is no other tool in the world that combines these verticals.

Unlike standard AI like ChatGPT which is trained on bulk data, Creatrix stands out by running on micro-data sets from social media's top-performing posts only. The quality of relevant data ensures superior results that predict higher engagement, audience growth, and sales.

"Why would you start from average when you have access to leveraged excellence? When you begin with the best, you get to expand into places you haven't even dreamed of yet. We get to think bigger than content optimization. If you can dream it, Creatrix can do it for you. You just need to know what you want.," said Lauren Wallett.

Lauren believes that Prescriptive AI could become a new industry that transcends marketing into a superior approach to business success.

Yaa Boakye's Vision for Creatrix

First-generation, American-born Yaa Boakye, a trailblazer in health and wellness marketing, is the first to own a custom-built Creatrix model.

Yaa discovered Creatrix online, through Lauren's videos showcasing her groundbreaking work, before the tool launches in 2024. This digital encounter sparked a collaboration that signifies the global transcendence of Creatrix.

Yaa Boakye plans to use Creatrix to revolutionize health and wellness communication. With her extensive background in dietetics and personal training, Yaa intends to craft marketing campaigns that are not only data-driven but also deeply empathetic and personalized. She envisions using advanced analytics to understand and anticipate the needs and preferences of her audience, allowing her to create content that resonates. Yaa's goal is to bridge the gap between AI and the human element in healthcare communication, ensuring that her strategies genuinely connect with people's lives and experiences. With Creatrix, Yaa stands ready to redefine the standards of health and wellness marketing, providing solutions that are as empathetic as they are efficient.

"The health and wellness space was previously dominated by limited voices that don't reflect the global majority of buying power. I'm here to increase the potential reach of marketing messaging through resonance. Multiple perspectives give us alternative narratives for more interesting, relatable campaigns," said Yaa Boakye.

Each Creatrix model is an extension and expression of the owner. Yaa is shaping hers to offer opportunities to engage in nuanced conversations that reach untapped audiences.

A New Dawn for Creative Excellence

"We don't need to churn faster content or speed up redundant processes - but that's what most generative AI tools do.

Bringing the Truth About Drugs to the Fan Zone as the Bruins and Bears Faced Off at the Rose Bowl in Their Final PAC-12 Game

PASADENA, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- While two of California's favorite college teams faced each other on the football field this weekend, drug-prevention activists from nearby Scientology Churches set up a bright teal tent in the fan zone to win a different kind of competition altogether: reaching kids before drug dealers do.

California has the highest number of drug overdose deaths in the country. And these volunteers are determined to change this.

"When people really understand what drugs are and what they do, they are far less likely to abuse them," says Jessica Hochman, Executive Director of Foundation for a Drug-Free World, the drug education and prevention campaign supported by the Church of Scientology and Scientologists. "That's why we are so committed to reaching youth before they begin to experiment with drugs."

The tent had a continuous stream of visitors of all ages throughout the afternoon and evening.

Volunteers encouraged young and old to sign the Foundation's drug-free pledge board and scan the QR code that took them to the free drug education courses, available in 20 languages on the Foundation for a Drug-Free World website.

Parents encouraged their kids to sign the pledge and they took home copies of the booklets.

Educators were particularly interested in the program and they ordered the Truth About Drugs Educator's Guide to use with their classes.

A Scout leader wanted to empower his Scouts with this information. He was invited to the "Join a Team" section of the Foundation's website.

A 5th-grade teacher spoke of how she encounters kids and families all the time who are struggling with drugs. It gave her hope to learn of the success of the campaign and she immediately ordered the materials.

The mother of a 9-year-old son was relieved when she toured the tent. There are kids his age at school who are already abusing drugs. She took sets of the youth-friendly drug-education booklets to share with her son and his friends.

Foundation for a Drug-Free World is a nonprofit public benefit corporation that empowers youth and adults with factual information about drugs so they can make informed decisions and live drug-free. Through the support of Scientology Churches and Scientologists, the Foundation offers its drug education resources free of charge to anyone wishing to use them to educate others about drugs.

For more information on Foundation for a Drug-Free World, watch its public service announcements and The Truth About Drugs-Real People, Real Stories documentary, or episodes of Voices for Humanity to see the program in action.

Scientology Network is available on DIRECTV Channel 320, DIRECTV STREAM, AT&T U-verse and streams at Scientology.tv, on mobile apps, and via the Roku, Amazon Fire and Apple TV platforms.

25 Years of Service to the Community Honored at the Church of Scientology of the Valley

NORTH HOLLYWOOD, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Serving the North Hollywood community since 1998, the Women's Auxiliary of the Church of Scientology of the Valley has established a reputation for always stepping up with help. They celebrated their 25th anniversary with a banquet and award presentation along with a silent auction to raise funds for their charity work.

The group raises funds for Scientology-supported humanitarian and social betterment programs and to assist underserved families in North Hollywood and the San Fernando Valley.

In an episode of I Am a Scientologist on the Scientology Network, Lisa Malm, president of the organization, describes the members' dedication to carrying out community projects. If they hear of a group needing winter jackets for foster children, for example, they immediately put out a call to their members and fulfill the need. Whether collecting canned goods for shelters, or making sure local children have a Christmas gift each year, whatever is needed, they take it on.

"Our mission is really to help people," she says.

The Women's Auxiliary was inspired by L. Ron Hubbard's belief that "a community that pulls together can make a better society for all."

The Church of Scientology of the Valley is an Ideal Scientology Organization, dedicated in March 2017 by Scientology ecclesiastical leader Mr. David Miscavige. The Church services Scientologists in their ascent to spiritual freedom and serves as a home for the entire community - a meeting ground of cooperative effort to uplift people of all denominations.

Learn more about the Church of Scientology of the Valley and what makes this community unique in an episode of Destination: Scientology on the Scientology Network, and watch Lisa Malm's profile in an episode of I Am a Scientologist on the Scientology Network, available on DIRECTV Channel 320, DIRECTV STREAM, AT&T U-verse and streaming at Scientology.tv, on mobile apps and via the Roku, Amazon Fire and Apple TV platforms.

U.S. News & World Report Names Hebrew Home of Greater Washington on the Charles E. Smith Life Communities Campus the Best in Maryland

ROCKVILLE, Md. /ScoopCloud/ -- Charles E. Smith Life Communities (CESLC) is proud to announce that their skilled nursing health center, the Hebrew Home of Greater Washington, has been recognized as the Best Nursing Home in Maryland for 2024 by U.S. News & World Report. This is the fifth consecutive year that the Hebrew Home has been recognized by U.S. News & World Report.

Since 2009, U.S. News' annual Best Nursing Homes ratings have assisted consumers in need of either short-term rehabilitation or long-term care for themselves or a family member.

The Hebrew Home of Greater Washington earned its U.S. News Best Nursing Home status by achieving a rating of "High Performing," the highest possible rating, for Long-Term Care. U.S. News gives the designation of Best Nursing Home only to those that satisfy U.S. News' assessment of consistent performance in quality measures.

"We are honored to be recognized and I applaud all associates at CESLC for their tireless dedication to delivering on our care promise. In addition to CESLC's numerous care providers, our long-term care team also includes a full-time medical director along with five full-time physicians dedicated to delivering award-winning quality and person-centered care and promoting the dignity of others," said Brenda Rice, vice president of operations at CESLC.

For the 2024 edition, U.S. News rated more than 15,000 nursing homes on patient and resident outcomes, such as infection rates; staffing levels; potentially inappropriate reliance on antipsychotic drugs; health inspection results and other indicators of quality.

"U.S. News' Best Nursing Homes ratings give patients, senior residents, their families and caregivers an objective assessment of quality, to help them choose the facility that best fits their individual needs," said Ben Harder, chief of health analysis and managing editor at U.S. News. "Nursing homes that have earned the recognition of U.S. News have a track record of achieving better outcomes for patients and residents, and maximizing the amount of care they receive from nurses and other staff."

To calculate the Best Nursing Homes ratings, U.S. News evaluated each nursing home's performance using a variety of quality measures obtained from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). The U.S. News methodology factors data such as resident care, safety and outcomes. Both short- and long-term ratings include data on nurse staffing, use of antipsychotic drugs and success in preventing ER and hospital visits. The long-term care rating also includes measures of whether a home changed ownership and how well they were staffed on weekends.

U.S. News and World Report recognized the Hebrew Home of Greater Washington in the categories of Best Nursing Home for both short-term rehabilitation and long-term care for 2022-2023 and 2020-2021, and for short-term care additionally in 2021-2022 and 2019-2020.
