Adoption Fairytale Videobook for ‘Love Without Wings’ to Release on National Adoption Day

SANTA CLARITA, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- "Love Without Wings: An Adoption Fairytale" (ISBN: 979-8986768045), was released one year ago and now it's also available as a read-along videobook narrated by Rayyah McCaul with an original music score by Sleeps Under Beams. The author, Adam Swain Ferguson, founder, Purple Fox Entertainment, says that the book and its video adaptation were imagined to magically introduce the subject of adoption to his son, and to celebrate diverse families made complete through adoption.

Since the book's release, its illustrations have been animated into a narrated videobook and it's been featured at several film festivals including "Out on Film" a premier LGBTQ film fest in Atlanta. It's also scheduled to be programmed in Ferguson's hometown at the Santa Clarita Film International Festival from Dec. 7 through Dec 10, 2023.

The storyline of "Love Without Wings: An Adoption Fairytale" centers around two kings who have a dream to become parents, and a fairy who is hoping to find a perfect family for the baby boy growing inside her. As fate would have it, they're all brought together through a shared wish on a shooting star.

Currently, the videobook is only accessible to view via QR code in the book's printed edition; however, the video will be publicly released on YouTube on Nov. 18, 2023 in honor of the book's anniversary and National Adoption Day. A clever vignette at the end of the video introduces a new ethereal character, and also hints at a second story in the works. This one has to do with the kings growing their family through surrogacy.

"We're quite excited to share this new multimedia edition of 'Love Without Wings: An Adoption Fairytale,'" Ferguson says. "We hope it will bring joy and hope to all those who read it or listen to it."

BOOK SIGNING AND READING NOV. 18:

To celebrate the release, Ferguson and the book's illustrator, Veronica Stanley-Hooper, plan to host a special reading, screening, Q&A, and signing at "The Open Book," an independent book store in Canyon Country, California, on Nov. 18, 2023 from 3-5 p.m.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Adam Swain Ferguson discovered his calling for film and video production after moving to California in 2017, where he pursued a Bachelor's degree in Entertainment Business, and a Master's in Producing for Television. Now, he's channeling both his professional entertainment experience and innate talent as a storyteller, to produce children's content inspired by his own personal experiences with family growth; including adoption and IVF.

Currently, Ferguson lives in the greater Los Angeles area with his husband and their son. He and his husband are expecting to welcome another child via surrogacy in February 2024 and he's also hard at work on his second book; which approaches the topic of surrogacy and IVF from a similar fairytale-styled narrative.

An updated version of the book is available on Amazon and the music score is also available for download on iTunes and Spotify.

Publisher of the Works of L. Ron Hubbard Gets a Jump on the Holiday Season by Sharing the ‘Not So Secret’ Secret of Happiness

EAST LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- In "My Philosophy," one of his most popular essays, author, humanitarian and Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard wrote, "I like to help others and count it as my greatest pleasure in life to see a person free himself of the shadows which darken his days."

And what better way to help Los Angeles youngsters and their families experience the joy of the season than by sharing The Way to Happiness at the East L.A. Sheriff's Department Halloween event at the city's Belvedere Park. Hundreds of children trick-or-treated at the booths set up by local nonprofits and took part in the costume contest.

The joy of the season and throughout the year depends in no small part on how people treat others and the countless other choices they make each day. Noting a dramatic decline in morality and the consequent spike in broken families, crime and despair, in 1981 Mr. Hubbard authored a common-sense moral code-a guide to better living intended for use by people of all faiths or none. With more than 139 million copies distributed in 118 languages, The Way to Happiness holds the Guinness Record as the world's most translated non-religious book.

Established in 1981 in Los Angeles, California, Bridge Publications, Inc. is publisher of Mr. Hubbard's nonfiction works. Bridge Publications staff volunteer with humanitarian and social betterment initiatives supported by the Church of Scientology to join forces with other businesses, nonprofits, law enforcement and civic and community leaders to help create a safe environment where local businesses and families can prosper and experience the innate happiness that is available to everyone.

As Mr. Hubbard wrote in the introduction to The Way to Happiness:

"While no one can guarantee that anyone else can be happy, their chances of survival and happiness can be improved. And with theirs, yours will be.

"It is in your power to point the way to a less dangerous and happier life."

To learn more about The Way to Happiness, visit the website of The Way to Happiness Foundation or watch The Way to Happiness book on film, available in 17 languages on the Scientology Network. And to learn more about Bridge Publications, watch Inside Scientology: Bridge Publications.

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

To participate in future community outreach activities with Bridge Publications volunteers, contact Lucia Winther, Bridge Publications Public Relations Director, at (323) 888-6200 or lwinther@bridgepub.com.

Can a Pair of New Socks Make a Difference to the Houseless?

SEATTLE, Wash. /ScoopCloud/ -- Warm, dry socks are essential to anyone living on the streets, according to charities serving the homeless, yet those making donations of clothes and food rarely think of socks as a vital commodity. According to one Seattle nonprofit, "for folks living outside, clean socks are an absolute necessity and a very difficult thing to come by." So Seattle Scientology Volunteer Ministers marked "Make a Difference Day" by donating socks to the Queen Anne Helpline and Queen Anne Food Bank at Sacred Heart and the Jean Kim Foundation Hygiene Center.

Seattle's homeless population grew 13.8 percent from 2020 to 2022. This, despite an average 150 rainy days each year and temperatures at or near freezing for much of the winter. At the same time, just about all services and commodities including apartment rentals and home purchases are more expensive on average in Seattle than in other cities.

For decades, volunteers from the Church of Scientology Seattle have helped address the needs of individuals and families in the community, including those experiencing homelessness and food insecurity. They volunteer with Food Lifeline. They hold food and clothing drives for the Queen Anne Food Bank and other local nonprofits. At the start of each school year, Scientologists organize a back-to-school backpack giveaway with each backpack filled with school supplies. And the Church has launched its annual holiday drive to collect and distribute warm clothing and other items of need.

Make a Difference Day was created in 1992 to offer community support and encourage volunteerism across the country. It is cosponsored by Points of Light, a nonprofit dedicated to engaging people and resources to solve serious social problems through voluntary service.

In addition to annual Make a Difference Day activities, the Church of Scientology Seattle engages in community outreach and social betterment activities throughout the year. In fact, many Scientologists consider every day as a day to make a difference, in keeping with their passion to achieve the Aims of Scientology:

"A civilization without insanity, without criminals and without war, where the able can prosper and honest beings can have rights, and where Man is free to rise to greater heights."

Throughout the year, volunteers of humanitarian initiatives supported by the Seattle Scientology Church provide effective drug education and prevention through the local chapter of Foundation for a Drug-Free World. The Seattle chapter of Youth for Human Rights International raises awareness of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. And the Seattle chapter of The Way to Happiness Foundation promotes common-sense values by distribution of The Way to Happiness, a book written by author, humanitarian and Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard, whose purpose was to use this book to arrest and reverse moral decline in society and restore honesty and understanding to make the world safer and less violent for all.

The Church holds frequent open house programs and conferences to bring the community together to tackle issues affecting the city.

In dedicating the new home of the Church of Scientology Seattle in 2010, Scientology ecclesiastical leader Mr. David Miscavige described the Church's humanitarian mission as "a movement that is all-embracive, all-inclusive and all about ensuring no one falls between the cracks."

To learn more, visit the Public Information Center of the Church of Scientology Seattle at 300 West Harrison Street Mon.-Fri. 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Sat. and Sun. 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.; visit the nearest Church of Scientology; or watch programming 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.

CCHR Demands Psychiatrists Immediately End Cruel and Harmful Practices in the Name of Mental Health

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- As the World Psychiatric Association (WPA) convened its annual congress in Vienna, hundreds of activists from Citizens Commission on Human Rights Austria and chapters across Europe marched through the streets, insisting psychiatrists immediately cease their use of ECT (electroconvulsive treatment) and all coercive and harmful practices in the field of mental health.

In an open letter to the President of the WPA, CCHR Austria demanded the adoption of recent World Health Organization guidelines that call for ending all "coercive practices in mental health care" that "contradict international human rights law" and "can inflict severe pain and suffering on a person with long-lasting physical and mental health consequences, which can impede recovery and lead to substantial trauma and even death."

The letter also reminded the WPA of its duty to enforce the renunciation of coercive practices by its members.

CCHR marched to the convention center where the WPA Congress was convened chanting slogans that emphasized their demands. At the convention center, where CCHR erected its traveling exhibit, Psychiatry: An Industry of Death, visitors learned the dark history of psychiatry and the destruction it wreaks on society, from the use of ECT and psychosurgery to psychiatry's promoting the false doctrines of eugenics and its role in the Holocaust. Among those touring the exhibit were psychiatrists from countries including the UK, India, the U.S., Spain, Germany, Austria and Italy.

The CCHR documentary Therapy or Torture: The Truth about Electroshock screened throughout the three-day congress on a huge jumbotron.

Among the organizers of the CCHR protest and exhibit were human rights advocates featured in episodes of Voices for Humanity on the Scientology Network:

* János Dobos and Klára Hídvégi who fight the corruption of the psychiatric industry and its abusive practices in Hungary, and

* Bernd Trepping and Nicola Cramer who have taken on the psychiatric industry in the country where it all began, Germany, exposing its present-day manipulation and crimes, including the Holocaust, committed in the name of "science."

The Scientology Network also airs CCHR documentaries, including the film that was featured at the demonstration in Vienna, Therapy or Torture: The Truth about Electroshock.

The Scientology Network debuted in March 2018. Since launching, it has been viewed in over 240 countries and territories in 17 languages. Satisfying curiosity of about the Scientology religion and its Founder L. Ron Hubbard, the network takes viewers across six continents, spotlighting the everyday lives of Scientologists, showing the Church as a global organization, and presenting its social betterment programs that have touched the lives of millions worldwide.

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.

Reaching Out on Veterans Day to Help Prevent Suicides

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- This Veterans Day, Citizens Commission on Human Rights, the nonprofit mental health watchdog founded in 1969 by the Church of Scientology, warns veterans and their families of the hidden enemy behind veteran suicides.

According to the U.S. Department of Veterans' Affairs, "Every day, some 17 veterans take their own lives." This is despite nearly 9 million veterans receiving health care services from the VA and the investment of $1.8 billion on research each year.

Citizens Commission on Human Rights advises the VA and Congress to look no further than the black box warning contained on each component of the cocktail of drugs administered to veterans.

And it is not only veterans who are at risk. The Defense Suicide Prevention Office warns the number of suicides across the active-duty military is also on the rise.

To raise awareness that the very "help" provided to our veterans is creating this crisis, CCHR produced a documentary exposing not only the cause but those exploiting and profiting from the fallout: The Hidden Enemy: Inside Psychiatry's Covert Agenda.

The film documents how the psychiatric industry conspired to infiltrate the military: archival footage that suggests military members were targeted by psychiatry as the perfect control group on which to conduct mind-altering experiments. Former service members and families speak out about the corruption and the mass drugging responsible for soaring suicide rates among veterans.

Warning: This film contains disturbing footage. But anyone with friends or family who are veterans or are serving in the armed services today needs to inform themselves of this hidden enemy and what can be done to combat it. And in doing so, perhaps save a loved one's life.

The Hidden Enemy: Inside Psychiatry's Covert Agenda is available in 17 languages on the Scientology Network.

Coborn's operates several fuel, liquor and pharmacy locations as well. To support its 200 various retail business units, Coborn's also operates its own central bakery, dry cleaning facility and grocery distribution center.

Coborn's was founded in 1921 by Chester A. Coborn who opened a one-room produce store in Sauk Rapids, Minnesota. Chris Coborn, a fourth-generation family member, is the current CEO and Chairman of the Board and his daughter Emily Coborn Wright, Vice President of Retail Support Services, and his son Peter Coborn, Director of Liquor Operations, are fifth-generation family members in leaderships roles.

Chris Coborn, CEO of Coborn's stated, "We are very pleased with the assistance Matrix provided in divesting our Holiday franchised fuel and convenience stores. This is part of Coborn's overall strategy to focus our growth efforts on the grocery store market. Matrix's efforts have led to the successful sale of our Holiday franchise stores to our long-term franchisor partner, Holiday. The transaction provides continuity to our store employees and customers, as the stores will remain Holiday branded and continue to accept the Coborn's MORE Rewards program. Matrix did an excellent job at meeting our strategic objectives in the sale."

Mr. Underwood added, "Chris and his team have done a tremendous job growing the Coborn's family business. The family legacy is incredibly impressive with what they have achieved over the last century since the Company's founding. I am very pleased that Matrix was able to contribute to Coborn's future growth by selling the Holiday franchised stores to allow for more capital deployment for Coborn's strategic growth initiatives."

Down Payment Resource highlights 61 down payment assistance programs offering up to $120,000 in funds for Veterans and service members

ATLANTA, Ga. /ScoopCloud/ -- Down Payment Resource (DPR), the housing industry authority on homebuyer assistance program data and solutions, is highlighting homebuyer assistance programs to support Veterans, service members and their surviving spouses in conjunction with Veterans Day and Military Family Appreciation Month, both observed in November. While service members are eligible for any of the 2,200-plus U.S. homebuyer assistance programs, DPR found there are 61 programs offering up to $120,000 in assistance specifically developed to help them build, buy or make accessibility-related home renovations.

According to the Urban Institute, 78 percent of Veteran households were homeowners, 14 percentage points higher than the total population. Active-duty service members, who are often relocated every few years, had a homeownership rate of 43 percent. Military families are not only challenged by frequent relocation (Permanent Change of Station or PCS orders) but are struggling financially in a housing market with rising home prices and mortgage interest rates the highest seen since 2000. Results from the Blue Star Families' Military Family Lifestyle Survey indicate that housing costs and relocation issues have become increasingly stressful and expensive for service members in recent years, making assistance with down payment and other purchasing costs even more essential.

An analysis of the 61 programs showcases the range of assistance available to promote homeownership among Veterans, active-duty service members and their surviving spouses:

* Financial assistance range: The programs offer homebuyer assistance ranging from $2,000 to $120,000.

* Program types: The homeownership assistance program types consist of 24 second mortgage programs, 18 affordable first mortgage programs, 15 grants, and one each below market rate (BMR)/resale restriction program, combined assistance program, voucher program and other assistance type.

* Repayment features: Twenty-four programs offer forgivable assistance, provided that all program conditions, such as owner-occupancy, are met. Fifteen programs are given as gifts with no strings attached provided eligibility criteria are met.

* Program eligibility: Thirty-five programs are for first-time buyers, while 34 are open to repeat buyers or provide a waiver for service members and Veterans.

"Having assistance to buy now, even when interest rates seem high, can help our service members start to build equity, enjoy a sense of community, and have an asset they can keep or sell if they receive PCS orders," said DPR Founder and CEO Rob Chrane. "We are extremely grateful to our Veterans, service members and their families and hope these programs can unlock the doors to homeownership and all the benefits it brings."

Individuals can search for their homebuyer assistance program eligibility for free at https://downpaymentresource.com/are-you-eligible/.

Methodology:

DPR produced homebuyer assistance program findings by analyzing its DOWN PAYMENT RESOURCE(r) database for programs with incentives for people with disabilities. The DOWN PAYMENT RESOURCE(r) database tracks the funding status, eligibility rules and benefits of all U.S. homebuyer assistance programs using data sourced from more than 1,300 housing finance agencies (HFAs), municipalities, nonprofits and other housing organizations. Homebuyer assistance programs of all types are tracked, including down payment and closing cost assistance, Mortgage Credit Certificates and affordable first mortgages.

About Down Payment Resource:

Down Payment Resource (DPR) is the housing industry authority on homebuyer assistance program data and solutions. With a database that tracks more than 2,200 programs and toolsets for mortgage lenders, multiple listing services and API users, DPR helps housing professionals connect homebuyers with the assistance they need. DPR frequently lends its expertise to nonprofits, housing finance agencies, policymakers, government-sponsored enterprises and trade organizations seeking to improve housing affordability. Its technology is used by five of the top 10 retail mortgage lenders by volume, three of the four largest real estate listing websites and 500,000 real estate agents.

Church of Scientology Mission of Modena Dedicates New Home

MODENA, Italy /ScoopCloud/ -- The city of Modena represents the best of the old and new. Named a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its architectural gems and museums displaying some of the best-loved masterpieces of the 16th century, it is also the car capital of Italy. Birthplace of Enzo Ferrari, automobile manufacturing, speed and precision are part of its DNA.

October marked the 42nd anniversary of the Church of Scientology Mission of Modena, one of the premiere Scientology Missions of Italy. And on October 29, hundreds of Scientologists and guests joined the executives and staff of the Mission to celebrate the dedication of their new headquarters.

The Mission was welcomed by local businesses, nonprofits and community leaders.

Mr. Alessandro Crotti, an entrepreneur who works in the renewable energy sector, learned about Scientology two years ago when he was introduced to the groundbreaking administrative technology developed by Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard. Crotti has used the skills he learned not only to better handle production and distribution situations but also to improve relationships with others. And he spoke of how it has helped him face whatever comes his way with greater clarity and confidence.

Mr. Andrea Ferrarini is president of the civil protection group Radio Club Contea Nord of Bondeno. Ferrarini first worked with Modena's Scientology Volunteer Ministers responding to the earthquake that devastated the Emilia Romagna region of Italy in 2012. He spoke of how much he valued their help in the midst of such destruction.

Mr. Benito Toschi is founder of the local chapter of ANFASS which provides help to people with disabilities. He spoke of the many projects the Scientology Mission has supported to the benefit of the people ANFASS serves.

The final speaker was Ms. Simona Scattolin, an official from the municipality of Forlì, some 70 miles from Modena. Floods inundated the entire region in May and June, ravaging the homes and businesses of her city. Scientology Volunteer Ministers from Modena helped Forlì families with the grueling task of digging their homes and businesses out from the mud, salvaging what could be saved, and disposing of waterlogged flooring, walls and furniture.

Ms. Scattolin presented a plaque congratulating the Mission for its 42nd anniversary and its beautiful new home, extending heartfelt thanks to the Scientology Volunteer Ministers for their extraordinary and tireless help to the city of Forlì.

The staff then joined Mission Executive Director Simona Gorzanelli in opening the Mission and invited guests to tour. They welcome those new to Scientology to visit their public information display and learn more about what Scientology offers.

The Mission of Modena is equipped with every facility needed to provide the full array of introductory Scientology services. These include the popular Life Improvement Courses through which anyone may find workable solutions to common challenges of everyday life-such as how to improve a marriage, successfully raise children, increase personal motivation, and set and achieve goals.

The new Mission also offers seminars on a wide range of topics, including personal efficiency. The Hubbard Dianetics Seminar is based on Mr. Hubbard's watershed work Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health, the bestselling book that reveals the source of one's nightmares, unreasonable fears and irrational behavior-the reactive mind-and how to conquer it.

Additionally, the Mission provides spiritual counseling, known as auditing, and the Purification Program, developed by Mr. Hubbard to free individuals from the mental and spiritual damage caused by drugs and toxins.

The California Association of Veteran Service Agencies (CAVSA) Annual Report Unveils Progress and Continued Challenges for the Golden State’s 1.38 Million Veterans

SACRAMENTO, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Today, the California Association of Veteran Service Agencies (CAVSA), a consortium of six non-profit veteran service providers, released its 2023 California Veterans Community Report, providing data and analysis on the current challenges faced by California veterans, highlighting the strides made in the past year, and presenting their advocacy strategy for 2024 and beyond-with a focus on behavioral health and housing initiatives.

Key findings from the CAVSA 2023 report reveal a 9% reduction in veteran homelessness in California, trending with the 11% decrease nationally. Despite this progress, 71% of homeless veterans in California are unsheltered, compared to 40% nationally. Alarmingly, veteran suicides have seen a 27% increase in California, with PTSD and self-injury behaviors marking critical areas for intervention.

"CAVSA and its member agencies are dedicated to improving the health and well-being of California's veterans and veteran families and continuously advocate at the state and local level through policy, program, and budgetary initiatives," said Stephen Peck, CAVSA Board President and U.S. VETS President and CEO. "We are proud of the progress made by all those in California working to improve the lives of veterans, yet there is much work to be done. A top priority is the passage of Proposition 1, which includes over $1 billion to house veterans facing behavioral and substance abuse challenges."

With the largest veteran population in the nation, California's 1.38 million veterans represent a significant and diverse community. The CAVSA report is a crucial tool for stakeholders across the state, from policymakers to local leaders, to grasp the multifaceted issues facing veterans and to champion their cause.

CAVSA 2023 report highlights include:

* The number of veterans experiencing homelessness in California decreased 9% from 11,401 in 2020 to 10,395 in 2022. Nationally, it decreased 11%.

* Roughly 33% of the nation's veterans experiencing homelessness are in California.

* In California, about 71% of homeless veterans are unsheltered compared to 41% nationally.

* Los Angeles City and County have the highest number of unsheltered homeless veterans by a significant margin at 2,721, with San Jose/Santa Clara City and County following with 520 veterans.

* In California, the number of veterans who died by suicide increased 27%, from 439 in 2020 to 559 in 2021.

* Roughly 4.2% of veterans nationally report an incidence of nonsuicidal self-injury in their lifetime. Applied in California, an estimated 57,960 veterans have performed self-harming behavior.

* An estimated 96,600 California veterans will experience Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in their lifetime.

In 2022, CAVSA's six member agencies pulled in over $81 million to the state from federal agencies such as the Department of Housing and Urban Development, Department of Labor, Department of Veteran Affairs, Department of Health and Human Services, Department of Homeland Security, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency. CAVSA members also secured an additional $77 million from multiple sources - federal, state, local, and private - specifically to build housing and service sites.

"CAVSA member agencies understand veterans and the root causes of homelessness in this community-disability, poverty, unemployment, mental health, and substance use are just a few barriers to stability and are all more common among veterans diagnosed with traumatic brain injury or PTSD," said Chuck Helget, Executive Director of CAVSA. "We know what they go through, which is exactly why we advocate for increased funding for veteran mental health, support services, housing, and other resources."

Looking forward, CAVSA will use the data and research provided in this report to advocate for:

* The passage of Proposition 1, the Behavioral Health Infrastructure Bond, which includes over $1 billion to house veterans who have behavioral health needs or substance use disorders.

* Increased general funding and allocation of Behavioral Health Services Act (BSHA) funding for veterans' mental health, substance abuse treatment, and suicide prevention.

* Expanded state and federal funding supportive services for veterans experiencing or exited from homelessness, especially to improve utilization of HUD-VASH vouchers.

* Increased resources and services for aging veterans, including the Veterans Support to Self-Reliance (VSSR) program.

* Enhanced veteran suicide prevention measures.

* Increased local advocacy and engagement to raise awareness and funding and increase local impact.

ATLANTA, Ga. /ScoopCloud/ -- Down Payment Resource (DPR), the housing industry authority on homebuyer assistance program data and solutions, reports that homebuyer assistance program administrators are responding to the mounting home affordability crisis by rapidly rolling out new homebuyer assistance programs and funding buydowns.

There are now 2,256 homebuyer assistance programs available to help people affordably finance homes, an increase of 54 programs over the previous quarter, according to DPR's Q3 2023 Homeownership Program Index (HPI) report.*

"Most first-time homebuyers are well aware that interest rates are hitting generational highs and affordability is in the gutter - but what they are not hearing is that there are 2,256 homebuyer assistance programs available to help," said Rob Chrane, founder and CEO of Down Payment Resource. "Program providers are working around the clock to ensure the programs they offer meet the needs of their markets. For this reason, many programs now allow funds to be used for buydowns and other popular financing strategies that take the edge off of monthly mortgage payments."

Key HPI Report Findings

An examination of the 2,256 homebuyer assistance programs that were active as of October 25, 2023, resulted in the following key findings:

* 295 programs will fund buydowns. Buydowns allow borrowers to lower their interest rates by paying an upfront fee. They have become a popular financing strategy as interest rates have surged.

- 253 programs will fund permanent buydowns. Permanent buydowns allow borrowers to lower the interest rate over the life of the mortgage loan by paying an upfront fee. 11.21% of programs support these buydowns.

- 66 programs will fund temporary buydowns. Temporary buydowns allow borrowers to lower their interest rates for a defined number of years at the beginning of the loan by paying an upfront fee.

* 224 programs will fund certain upfront loan fees. 9.93% of programs allow funds to be used to pay the upfront mortgage insurance premium (UFMIP) on FHA loans, the funding fee on VA loans and the guarantee fees on USDA loans.

* 71 programs will fund mortgage insurance (MI) buydowns. These programs allow funds to be used to lower monthly MI premiums.

* 50 new agencies began offering programs. More agencies have stepped up to administer homebuyer assistance programs as affordability worsens. Now, a total of 1,373 agencies provide assistance to aspiring homeowners, a 3.78% increase over the previous quarter.

A more detailed analysis of the Q3 2023 HPI findings, including infographics and examples of the programs described in this release, can be found on DPR's website at: https://downpaymentresource.com/professional-resource/the-down-payment-resource-q3-2023-homeownership-program-index-report/.

For a complete list of homebuyer assistance programs by state, visit: https://downpaymentresource.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/HPI-state-by-state-data.Q32023.pdf.

Methodology

Published quarterly, DPR's HPI surveys the funding status, eligibility rules and benefits of U.S. homebuyer assistance programs administered by state and local housing finance agencies, municipalities, nonprofits and other housing organizations. DPR communicates with over 1,300 program providers throughout the year to track and update the country's wide range of homeownership programs, including down payment and closing cost programs, Mortgage Credit Certificates (MCCs) and affordable first mortgages, in the DOWN PAYMENT RESOURCE(r) database.

*On October 25, 2023, DPR updated the way it classifies certain homebuyer assistance programs that are available to the general public but also offer expanded benefits to veterans and military personnel. As a result of the update, DPR's total count of U.S. homebuyer assistance programs was adjusted downward; however, its breakdowns by region, assistance type and funding source remained the same. This change reflects an evolution of DPR's reporting methodology, not a reduction in the overall availability of homebuyer assistance. DPR normalized last quarter's data using its new counting methodology before calculating quarter-over-quarter trends.

About Down Payment Resource:

Down Payment Resource (DPR) is the housing industry authority on homebuyer assistance program data and solutions. With a database that tracks more than 2,200 programs and toolsets for mortgage lenders, multiple listing services and API users, DPR helps housing professionals connect homebuyers with the assistance they need.

Olea Kiosks Introduces Redesign of Indoor and Outdoor Geneva Kiosk

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Olea Kiosks®, a visionary provider of self-service kiosk solutions, announced a redesign of its popular Geneva kiosk as it debuts this new model at International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions (IAPPA) in Orlando November 14 to 17, 2023.

Olea's Geneva kiosk was designed for high volume amusement parks and attractions. It has now been upgraded to provide even more enclosure space for additional peripherals in a modular fashion. The re-design includes improved interior management for power supplies, cabling and networking gear, and adjustable shelves to assist with peripheral placement.

"Despite the popularity of the Geneva kiosk, we decided we could deliver even greater kiosk value with a redesign. Customers love the aesthetics, and we didn't want to change that part, but we wanted to make the peripheral cavity more flexible and convenient," explained Frank Olea, CEO.

"When we originally introduced Geneva, we designed an Indoor and Outdoor product that are essentially the same and we've been able to maintain that consistency. Adjusting the angles allowed us to deliver more enclosure space for more devices like printers, or even bill and coin acceptors or recyclers. With an improved locking system, we've also added an extra layer of protection against vandalism," added Olea.

The new Geneva Kiosk will be at International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions (IAPPA) in Orlando, November 14 to 17, 2023 in the Kiosk Manufacturer Association Booth 6137.

Olea will also have various kiosk models throughout IAPPA in the following booths:

* Connect&Go - Booth 2036

* PDC/Brady - Booth 3865

* VivaTicket - Booth 5100

Help in Action: Conference Dedicated to Bettering Migrants’ Lives

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- The Church of Scientology Los Angeles hosted a conference where Los Angeles Latinx community and civic leaders reviewed situations affecting migrants and their families. They invited human rights icon Father Alejandro Solalinde Guerra and Mexican state and national officials to brief them on urgent issues affecting the migrant community and recommend policy changes.

Fr. Solalinde has long championed the rights and dignity of migrants. He is founder of Hermanos en el Camino (Brothers on the Road), a migrant shelter providing humanitarian aid, food, and legal assistance to migrants since 2007. He also coordinates the Catholic Pastoral Care Centre for Migrants in southwestern Mexico (La Pastoral de Movilidad Humana Pacifico Sur del Episcopado Mexicano).

He has traveled on the network of freight trains that transport migrants through his country, saying this was the only way to comprehend the horrors they face on their journey through Mexico to the U.S. border. In his presentation, Solalinde stressed that migrants are unique beings. They are seeking to survive and create a better life for themselves and their families against tremendous odds. A close friend of Mexico's President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, Solalinde wanted the input of the L.A. Hispanic community so he could present their concerns and suggestions to the president.

The conference opened with a briefing on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights by Francisco Sanz Polo of the Church of Scientology. He presented the human rights initiative the Church supports-United for Human Rights and its program for young people, Youth for Human Rights. Those attending watched a brief documentary on the history of human rights and read sections of the United for Human Rights booklet The Story of Human Rights. Author, humanitarian and Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard inspired these campaigns in his belief that "human rights must be made a fact, not an idealistic dream."

Celebrating its 75th anniversary this year, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights stresses the role of education in creating a world where all can enjoy their rights. Raising awareness of the existence of these rights is the vital first step in empowering those whose rights are infringed. And it is key to creating a culture where human rights are supported. For this reason, the Church provides these simple and compelling educational materials free of charge to anyone wishing to use them to educate others on this vital subject.

The Church of Scientology partners with the Los Angeles Latin American community on programs that support their rights and unique cultures. An Ideal Scientology Organization, the Church of Scientology of Los Angeles was designed to provide ideal facilities for Scientologists on their ascent to higher states of spiritual freedom and to serve as a home for the entire community-a meeting ground of cooperative effort to uplift people of all denominations. It was dedicated by Scientology ecclesiastical leader Mr. David Miscavige in 2010.

The Church of Scientology Los Angeles is featured in an episode of Inside Scientology on the Scientology Network, available on DIRECTV channel 320, DIRECTV STREAM, AT&T U-verse, and streaming at Scientology.tv, through mobile apps and via the Roku, Amazon Fire and Apple TV platforms.

Homebuilding Veteran Mitchell Bradford Joins Diversified Pacific

RANCHO CUCAMONGA, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Real estate veteran Mitchell Bradford has joined the talented team at Diversified Pacific. His 35 years of experience and leadership in the industry as a homebuilder and multi-family investor/owner will play a key role in the company as it seeks to grow and expand its reach and focus.

"I've known the co-founders of Diversified since its inception in 1991 and now have the opportunity to join the company and partner in its growth and further expansion," Bradford stated. "It's an organization that I know and trust. A team of talented people led by my longtime friends Jeff Burum and Matt Jordan, the co-managing members of Diversified. We share the same vision and core values. We believe that integrity, trust and valued relationships are key components to our success as we grow the company."

Bradford has served in leadership roles with major homebuilding companies including Kaufman & Broad, Ryland, William Lyon Homes and John Laing Homes. He has purchased and sold more than $2 billion of real estate throughout his career. Also skilled at land planning and political advocacy, he has entitled nearly 6,000 residential lots. He holds the distinction of never purchasing an asset that failed to return profits to investors/partners.

During the global economic crisis of 2008, he began forming partnerships to acquire troubled and undervalued properties throughout California, Nevada and Arizona. As of 2020, Bradford successfully completed the development of more than 140 single family homes, townhomes and condos and the acquisition, renovation and disposition of more than 1,700 apartments. Much of the role he will serve working with Diversified is contributing to the expansion of their land entitlement activities and the growth of their multi-family development and acquisitions.

Bradford strongly believes in servant leadership and has served the building industry in many capacities during his career, including president of the Building Industry Association (BIA) Orange County Chapter in 2005 and president of BIA of Southern California in 2008.

Bradford is equally committed to his faith and family. He is an elder emeritus at Mariners Church in Irvine, CA and is a past board member of PureHope, a faith based non-profit organization located in Dallas, Texas. He resides in Newport Beach, CA with his wife and daughter, with his son currently attending Arizona State University, where Mitchell graduated with a BS in Business Management in 1982.

"I am very pleased to have my friend Mitchell join the family at Diversified Pacific," said Jeff Burum, Founder and CEO of Diversified Pacific. "I've known him for more than 30 years and am well aware of the successes he has achieved in the industry. He is driven, he is loyal and he is a winner. We look forward to his involvement in our future growth and success."

About Diversified Pacific:

Toyota Partnership with HANG Media Targets Niche Segments, Generates Wide Audience

NEW YORK, N.Y. /ScoopCloud/ -- Toyota and HANG, the leading direct-to-consumer fan platform, are deploying innovative media approaches this sports season that are driving audience levels higher than television, with deeper data insights and engagement. To introduce its first-ever Grand Highlander SUV to targeted Black and Indian expat consumers, Toyota and its agencies, Burrell and InterTrend, have leveraged HANG's unique second-screen experiences to power deep engagement across more than 1 million views during the Toyota HBCU NY Classic football game in September, and October's India-Pakistan Cricket World Cup match. They will be teaming up again for the Cricket World Cup Finals on November 19.

HANG virtual activations enable fans across the country and around the world to watch televised games alongside current players, all-time greats, and celebrities, mingling on camera, via text or on livestreams across YouTube, Facebook, and Twitch. Fans stay on platform an astounding average of one hour and twenty minutes, asking questions, hearing inside stories, and getting pro tips.

For the HBCU NY Classic, Howard University graduate and Emmy nominee Anthony Anderson joined the watch party with Morehouse alums Isaac Keys, the actor and former NFL star, and Edwin Moses, the renowned track and field champion, from a Toyota suite at the game, while HBCU legends including NFL Hall of Famer Aeneas Williams beamed in from their homes. The India-Pakistan match featured Indian cricketer Unmukt Chand, who stars in a new Grand Highlander television spot aimed at the Asian-Indian consumer, along with fellow cricketers and Indian entertainers.

"Toyota and HANG are a natural fit," said William Moore, VP/Media Director with Burrell Communications Group. "HANG watch parties create a comfortable space for the whole family to enjoy an amazing experience - just like the first-ever Grand Highlander does. We're thrilled to have hosted an HBCU 'family reunion' for committed alums and students across the country, and to be making millions of Indian expats feel right at home during the Cricket World Cup."

"The entire media industry is desperate to engage audiences directly, and HANG has been ahead of the pack in understanding the power of eliminating the middleman," said Jon Klein, HANG's co-founder and CEO and the former president of CNN. "As humans, we all yearn to connect face to face. So we've been delighted to partner with Toyota to help spread the love."

Author Seval Seer Releases Profound New Book: ‘Om Vel Way: Be Happy and Make Happy’

VICTORIA, B.C. /ScoopCloud/ -- Author Seval Seer has unveiled an enlightening book, "Om Vel Way: Be Happy and Make Happy," (IBSN: 978-1779410658; Nov. 2023) which delves deep into the essence of human existence and the pursuit of true happiness. With a focus on the theme "Be Happy and Make Happy," Seval Seer's book offers a powerful and insightful perspective on the human journey.

In "Om Vel Way," Seval Seer introduces a profound concept, with "OM" representing the spirit, "VEL" symbolizing the sport(i.e., life as a sport), and "Way" depicting how the spirit engages in the sport. The book is grounded in the belief that, at our core, we are evolving awareness, transcending our possessions and experiences. Through this awareness, we can lead authentic lives, guided by the three powers of Verity (to be aware of the higher truth), Evolution (to evolve based on this awareness), and Love (the driving force behind our progress).

The book navigates the obstacles that hinder our path to happiness, primarily our ignorance about our true nature. By embracing evolving awareness and shedding the fixed notions of self, the book reveals a transformative journey toward progressive happiness. It emphasizes self-actualization as the key to becoming our true selves and finding refuge and ultimate fulfillment within.

Author Seval Seer has embarked on a remarkable journey of self-discovery, having lived across different continents. His exploration of profound questions about existence and the fundamental drivers of life culminated in the development of the mental framework presented in "Om Vel Way." This framework seamlessly blends ancient wisdom with modern psychology, offering readers a powerful tool to unlock happiness and authenticity in their lives.

"Om Vel Way: Be Happy and Make Happy" is a thought-provoking masterpiece that guides readers toward a deeper understanding of their true selves and the pursuit of happiness, not only for themselves but also for those around them.

Tolerance or Respect? Scientology Church Believes Communication is the Key to Friendship Among Faiths

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- In the spirit of interfaith understanding and friendship, the Church of Scientology Budapest invites all to attend an International Day of Tolerance open house and roundtable on the theme Tolerance or Respect?

For any group or religion, it is easy to love someone who thinks the way its own members do. The challenge is to love and understand those who think differently. But is tolerance of others' beliefs and practices enough? Or do we sell ourselves short when we don't go the extra mile to build understanding?

The event begins Wednesday, November 15, at 6 p.m. with a reception at 5:30 p.m.

Representatives of six different religions will explore and seek to answer:

* What is the difference between tolerance and respect?

* Can tolerance be achieved today despite religious, worldview, ethnic or national differences?

* What are the major issues creating division or polarization in society today?

* What do different religions teach about this?

* Can tolerance be taught?

* Is tolerance enough?

The roundtable will take place in the chapel of the Church of Scientology Budapest at Váci út 169.

The United Nations set aside International Day of Tolerance to "affirm respect and appreciation of the rich variety of our world's cultures, our forms of expression and ways of being human," and the "human rights and fundamental freedoms of others."

The rights and freedoms of others is a concept the staff and congregation of the Church of Scientology Budapest hold dear. In fact, this is a central theme of the episode of Destination: Scientology-Budapest on the Scientology Network. "Budapest is called the City of Freedom," says one of the Church executives interviewed for the program, and this is central to their pride in being Hungarian.

An Ideal Scientology Organization, the Church is configured to provide services to Scientologists in their ascent to spiritual freedom and serve as a home for the entire community-a meeting ground of cooperative effort to uplift people of all cultures and denominations. And it was in the name of freedom that Scientology ecclesiastical leader Mr. David Miscavige dedicated the Church in July 2016.

To learn more, visit the Church and its Public Information Center, open Mon-Fri 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Sat and Sun 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., the Church website, or watch Destination: Scientology-Budapest, available in English, Magyar (Hungarian) and 15 other languages 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.

Cosmetic Dermatology Practice Opens State-of-the-Art Facility in Northern Kentucky.

FLORENCE, Ky. /ScoopCloud/ -- Derm Aesthetics of Northern Kentucky, a cosmetic dermatology practice, just cut the ribbon on its state-of-the art facility aimed at serving the people of Northern Kentucky and the Greater Cincinnati area. The practice offers the latest, most advanced non- to minimally invasive aesthetic treatments available.

This new facility, located at 8275 Ewing Blvd in Florence, is the brainchild of board-certified dermatologist and aesthetic physician Susan Bushelman, M.D., F.A.A.D. She is proud to be a long-time partner of Dermatology Associates of Northern KY, recently named Best Dermatology Practice in Northern KY. Derm Aesthetics extends this same high standard to an expanded menu of cosmetic services.

Throughout her career of treating patients for a myriad of medical dermatological needs, Dr. Bushelman began to realize that there was a growing need for more professional cosmetic treatment options such as neurotoxin injections, laser treatments, and other non-surgical options to address the visible signs of aging and other skin concerns. As demand for these services increased, Dr. Bushelman developed a dream of opening her own practice to meet that demand.

"We realized we could make this bigger and serve patients better, but we needed more space to do it," Dr. Bushelman explained. "I wanted to provide a clinical cosmetic dermatology space to serve my growing number of aesthetics patients. When I came across the amazing space on Ewing Blvd, I knew it was the perfect place to house that dream."

Dr. Bushelman says she's very excited to provide treatments that help boost confidence and improve quality of lives overall, but she wants people to realize that, in most cases, there's no one-and-done solution to address a patient's concerns.

"I like to explain to my patients that aesthetics is a journey. There's not just one thing that we're going to do that's going to give you immediate optimal results," she said. "It's an ongoing process. That process and journey begins at Derm Aesthetics."

Dr. Bushelman went on to say she's still proudly affiliated with Dermatology Associates for the more medical side of her practice but providing more options for popular medical aesthetic treatments is something she specifically wanted for the people of this area.

"Whether it's wrinkle reducers, dermal fillers, chemical peels, laser skin-resurfacing, or any of the other beautiful options we have available, I want to help you choose what best aligns with your individual goals of looking years younger, or even just a bit more refreshed," she said.

Susan Bushelman M.D., F.A.A.D., is board-certified in Dermatology and also completed a residency in Internal Medicine. She is a fellow of the American Academy of Dermatology, a member of American Society of Dermatological Surgery and the American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery. She is a member of the American Medical Association, Kentucky Medical Association as well as Past President and long-time Board Member of the Northern KY Medical Society and Northern KY Foundation.

For more information on her cosmetic dermatology practice and its treatment options, call (859) 363-5394 or visit https://dermaestheticsnky.com/.

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Dia de los Muertos is not a day of sorrow but of joy. The Los Angeles Oaxacan Community honored the departed at the day's annual celebration at the Church of Scientology Los Angeles. Families celebrate the lives of deceased loved ones, welcoming them back as honored guests, serenading them, dancing traditional dances, and preparing their favorite foods.

The Church of Scientology Los Angeles and the Monarca Purépecha Association hosted the celebration for the L.A. Oaxacan community. The Purépecha are indigenous people of Michoacán, Mexico. More than 2,500 observed the holiday together at the festival.

Booths lined L. Ron Hubbard Way, where artisans displayed handicrafts from jewelry to traditional clothing and the food and drink of the region. Others created flowered altars of marigolds. Called ofrendas, they contain photos and other memorabilia to welcome those who have died and honor and celebrate their lives.

Throughout the afternoon and evening, costumed men and women performed folkloric dances to traditional music in a joyous celebration of life.

The Church of Scientology Los Angeles supports the culture and traditions of the many Latin communities of the Southland with festivals and cultural events throughout the year. An Ideal Scientology Organization, the Church was dedicated by Scientology ecclesiastical leader Mr. David Miscavige in 2010. 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.
