Freedom and Help Are the Watchword on Destination: Scientology, Budapest

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Destination: Scientology, the weekly travelogue series that takes viewers inside Scientology Churches around the world and discovers what makes each one unique, features the Church of Scientology Budapest, Monday, September 25, at 9 p.m. ET/PT on the Scientology Network.

Budapest is the seat of government and the cultural, financial and entertainment capital of Hungary. Historically, it is also the gateway to the West. It is also famous for its festivals, especially over the summer, and if you ask any Budapest denizen what country has the best food, the answer will be Hungary.

"We are really proud of being Hungarians," says Szusza, an executive of the Church. "Budapest is called the City of Freedom. The most rewarding part of my job is I see people getting better. They can enjoy life. It is not just problems. It can be really fun and there is real freedom they can achieve."

"When we opened this Church," says Atilla, "I wanted to personally contribute to extending the help Scientology can offer to the people of Hungary." He knew this was where anyone could come for "their own spiritual enhancement and a way to help their groups, friends and family."

"I always had questions I couldn't get the answer for," says Ferenc, a TV personality who discovered Scientology just as he was launching his career. He was hired to host what soon became a very popular cooking show, where he interviewed grandmothers throughout the country about their favorite recipes. Ferenc credits his applying what he learned from his Scientology courses for the success of his show. "When you can be happy and free, then you can write the story of your life."

The Church of Scientology Budapest was dedicated in July 2016 by Scientology ecclesiastical leader Mr. David Miscavige.

The Scientology Network debuted on March 12, 2018. Since launching, it has been viewed in over 240 countries and territories in 17 languages. Satisfying the curiosity of people about the Scientology religion and 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. The network also showcases documentaries by independent filmmakers who represent a cross-section of cultures and faiths, but share a common purpose of uplifting communities. Scientology Network's innovative content has been recognized with more than 125 industry awards, including Tellys, Communitas and Hermes Creative Awards.

Broadcast from Scientology Media Productions, the Church's global media center in Los Angeles, the Scientology Network is available on DIRECTV Channel 320, DIRECTV STREAM, AT&T U-verse and can be streamed at Scientology.tv, on mobile apps and via the Roku, Amazon Fire and Apple TV platforms.

Insurance Industry Pioneer Releases Hybrid Guidebook on Building a Profitable Insurance Agency

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Inspirational entrepreneur Tim Gaspar has re-launched his debut book "The Biggest Leap: Building a Profitable Insurance Agency from the Ground Up" (ASIN: B0C3JGZZQR).

In "The Biggest Leap," Gaspar takes readers on a captivating journey, chronicling his remarkable rise from being on the brink of bankruptcy at the age of 20 to achieving immense success in the insurance business by understanding the industry and emphasizing people management. Gaspar draws on a lifetime of entrepreneurial experience, and the lessons and insights they taught him, in order to craft a book that contains key ingredients for building a successful insurance agency.

Throughout the book, Gaspar shares his own hard-won methodologies that propelled him from his personal rock bottom to a successful exit worth tens of millions of dollars by the time he reached 40. In the book, Gaspar avoids the typical get-rich-quick schemes and instead offers genuine principles for building a thriving insurance agency. Primarily, Gaspar stresses the importance of having all major corporate decisions benefit the business, team and customer at once, with the intention of creating sustainable long-term value:

"As I started an agency and opened different offices, I valued having full control over my time, allowing me to spend precious moments with my family," Gaspar says. "I wrote this book to help people build the insurance agency of their dreams. It's not about quick money; it's about building a business that generates millions of dollars in commission revenue and profitability."

Grounding these principles are lessons from Gaspar's life, illustrating that his journey was inspired by both his stepfather, a successful life and health insurance agent, and his late father, whose influence motivated Gaspar to make an impact as a positive, hardworking individual.

While "The Biggest Leap" is certainly a guide to building a successful business, it is also a testament to what Gaspar calls one of the best industries in the world. As he explains, the insurance industry has no inventory concerns and plenty of recurring revenue-all of which offers aspiring entrepreneurs everywhere a unique opportunity to create lasting value.

"The Biggest Leap: Building a Profitable Insurance Agency from the Ground Up" is now available on major platforms, including Amazon and Barnes & Noble. For more information on entrepreneurship, Gaspar offers additional free resources on https://thebiggestleap.com/.

ACES Q1 2023 Mortgage QC Trends Report Finds Critical Defect Rate Declines for Second Consecutive Quarter

DENVER, Colo. /ScoopCloud/ -- ACES Quality Management® (ACES), the leading provider of enterprise quality management and control software for the financial services industry, announced the release of its quarterly ACES Mortgage QC Industry Trends Report covering the first quarter (Q1) of 2023. The latest report analyzes post-closing quality control data derived from ACES Quality Management & Control® software.

Notable findings from the Q1 2023 report include the following:

* The overall critical defect rate declined by 3.26%, ending at 1.78% and marking the second straight quarter of decline.

* In the major underwriting categories, Assets and Income/Employment improved, while Credit and Liabilities deteriorated.

* Despite its improvement this quarter, Income/Employment remained the leading defect category, followed by Assets and Legal/Regulatory/Compliance.

* The sub-category analysis showed increases in eligibility-related defects for both the Assets and Credit categories, whereas this seems to have been the primary driver of improvements in the Income/Employment category. However, analysis- and documentation-related errors both increased this quarter, with documentation remaining the largest sub-category of defects for both the Income/Employment and Asset categories.

* Appraisal defects increased, albeit nominally, for the second straight quarter.

* Purchase and refinance shares held steady in Q1, achieving defect parity for the second consecutive quarter.

* FHA defect share declined after two consecutive quarters of increase. While USDA defects continued to improve, VA defects increased significantly in Q1, and conventional defects also grew slightly.

"While the drop in origination volume has challenged the industry, it has also enabled underwriting and QC teams to be more diligent with each loan file, resulting in higher loan quality. The continued decline in the overall critical defect rate on the heels of last year's historic high indicates lenders have not let the desire for volume override the need to reduce errors and mitigate risk," said ACES Executive Vice President Nick Volpe. "With the recent changes to Fannie Mae's pre-funding QC reviews and post-closing QC cycle times, time will tell in the following quarters how diligent lenders have been in maintaining loan quality and investor requirements."

Findings for the Q1 2023 ACES Mortgage QC Industry Trends Report are based on post-closing quality control data derived from the ACES Quality Management and Control® benchmarking system and incorporate data from prior quarters and/or calendar years, where applicable. All reviews and defect data evaluated for the report were based on loan audits selected by lenders for full file reviews.

"The tough decision lenders were faced with at the beginning of the year appear to be paying off. Lenders reported a pre-tax, per-loan net loss of $1,972 in Q1. This result is an improvement over Q4 2022's record $2,812 per-loan loss and reverses the trend of production losses that began in Q4 2020," said ACES CEO Trevor Gauthier. "We expect this data to continue to improve in the coming quarters. Making strategic investments in tech and optimizing operations - especially in QC - can have a significant impact on protecting existing revenue amidst challenging market conditions."

The Mortgage QC Industry Trends Reports are available for download, free of charge, at https://www.acesquality.com/resources/reports.

About ACES Quality Management:

Foodiehall in Cherry Hill, NJ Adds a New Concept from Chef Sylva Senat and a Dining Room

CHERRY HILL, N.J. /ScoopCloud/ -- Since February of 2022, Foodiehall has operated exclusively as a pickup and delivery-only E-restaurant, serving cuisine from several different concepts out of its expansive space at 1931 Olney Avenue in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. Now, South Jersey's preeminent food hall has added an indoor dining room, while also bringing a new concept to life from a very notable chef.

Sylva Senat, a James Beard Foundation nominated chef who appeared on Season 14 of Top Chef, took over as Culinary Director of Foodiehall at the beginning of the year, bringing with him 25+ years of experience in the culinary world. Now, Senat has launched a new concept named S5 - featuring soups, salads and sandwiches - to Foodiehall, effective immediately. This is Foodiehall's 10th concept, with the others including Geno's Steaks, Canting Wok and Noodle Bar, Simply Fowl, DaNick's Craft Burgers, Criss Crust, Dando Tacos, Mac N Toastie, Fornire Italian Kitchen, and Junior's Doughnuts.

With the new concept comes Foodiehall's first ever dining area, changing the narrative that the brand operates as a pickup and delivery-only business. The new dining room features 20 seats, and guests can order from any of the 10 concepts and dine in-house.

"We are so excited to now be an actual destination for our guests to come and sit and enjoy a delicious meal," noted owner Dan Goldberg. "Operating as an E-restaurant brought with it some challenges, but we had a great first year-and-a-half in business, and our customers started to utilize the seats as soon as they were put in place. We're also very excited to have Chef Senat's new concept up and running. He's an extremely talented chef, and we're very lucky to have him and his cuisine here."

While the new concept features a large number of salads, soups, and sides, it's primarily a sandwich-focused brand. The menu includes a Chicken Parmesan Hoagie; a B.L.T.; Roasted Turkey Special; Reuben; Meatball Parmesan Hoagie; Italian Hoagie; Tindle Plant-Based Chicken Parm Hoagie; and a Tuna Sandwich. Senat is using 1/2 pound of meat on all of his deli sandwiches, and is using Orwasher's Bakery, a New York-based bakery, for rye bread.

In addition to the current menu, Senat will be adding a sandwich to the menu that connects his Haitian Creole lineage. The sandwich will feature braised oxtail, Haitian epis, and "pikliz" (pickle cabbage slaw) on an Atlantic City roll from Formica Bakery.

"In my kitchen, I welcome anyone and everyone who wants to learn. I love seeing people who want to be part of this industry, and I go into teacher mode," said Senat. "I always want to give back and be a role model to whomever I can. I hope to be able to do that with this new brand and a sandwich that gets back to my roots. Almost every person who comes into my kitchen has not only never tried Haitian food, but almost certainly has not cooked the cuisine before, so this is an opportunity for me to use my knowledge to help others."

Foodiehall opened during the final days of February of 2022 with six pickup and delivery-only restaurant concepts operating daily. Since then, the company has added several more, including Geno's Steaks' first and only South Jersey location.

Three Women from Delaware have made it to VOGUE and it’s not the three you would think! Meet Delaware’s rising star: Danielle Alura

WILMINGTON, Del. /ScoopCloud/ -- Delaware is not typically known for being a fashion hub, but three incredible women from this state have made a splash in the fashion world and been featured in Vogue, one of the most prestigious fashion magazines in the world. "What's even more impressive, is that these three three are not the ones you would typically expect," Danielle Alura said.

First is Asata Maise, a fashion designer who has been making waves in the industry with her bold and eclectic designs. Asata, who was born in Liberia and raised in Wilmington, draws inspiration from her African roots and her experiences living in different parts of the world. Her designs are a unique blend of traditional African textiles and modern silhouettes. Most notably her designs have been worn by celebrities like Beyoncé and Solange Knowles. With her innovative approach to fashion, Asata is quickly becoming a name to watch in the industry.

Aubrey Plaza has graced the pages of Vogue on multiple occasions, each time leaving an indelible mark with her distinctive presence. Her recurrent appearances in Vogue can be attributed to her ability to effortlessly merge her offbeat charisma with the world of high fashion. Plaza's allure lies in her capacity to defy conventions and bring a refreshing authenticity to the glossy pages, capturing the attention of both readers and fashion enthusiasts alike. With every feature, Plaza not only showcases her individuality but also underscores her evolving versatility as a performer and style icon, making her a sought-after muse for the esteemed fashion magazine.

The latest of these individuals from Delaware gracing VOGUE is Danielle Alura; a multi talented artist who has been taking the hottest red carpets, NYC billboards and media by storm. Danielle was clothed by Jovani and the shoot took place in Manhattan. The location of the photoshoot for VOGUE China brings life full circle for Danielle Alura, who was born in NYC and raised in Delaware.

This is not the first time Danielle has hit it big in China. She was a star in China's "SIUF," a runway show like fashion week on tv as one of 32 supermodels walking for each bikini and lingerie designer. She has been making waves in the entertainment industry for some time now; Danielle has acted on major upcoming TV shows like "Bad Monkey" starring Vince Vaughn, singing on stages around the world, winning the title of Miss Global USA 2023 and will be representing our country at the Miss Global International pageant.

All three of these ladies' success in the fashion industry are a testament to their dedication to their dream, hard work against all odds, and inspiring consistency. It's amazing to think that three women from a small city like Wilmington, Delaware have made such a big impact in the fashion and entertainment world. Their success serves as a reminder that talent can come from anywhere, and that it's never too late to pursue your dreams. Big dreams can come from small towns and the sky's not the limit when it comes to pursuing your passions.

Affinity Plus Federal Credit Union Selects LenderLogix’s QuickQual to Improve Transparency and Responsiveness During Mortgage Borrowers’ Home Search

BUFFALO, N.Y. /ScoopCloud/ -- LenderLogix, a leading provider of mortgage point-of-sale and automation software for banks, credit unions, independent mortgage banks and brokers, today announced that Minnesota-based Affinity Plus Federal Credit Union (Affinity Plus) has selected its pre-approval letter generation tool QuickQual to provide borrowers with a white-labeled, digitally-driven entry point into their homebuying experience.

"Each member engaging in the mortgage process is different, and we thought our technology should reflect that experience," said Tara Rutz, Mortgage Servicing and Origination Manager, Affinity Plus Federal Credit Union. "QuickQual enables us to deliver a highly engaging experience for our members, including generating pre-approval letters quickly and efficiently. Additionally, the interactive tool will allow members to preview real-time costs (down payment, monthly payments, cash to close, etc...) of purchasing their next home and adjust accordingly to the properties they are viewing within the parameters set forth in the pre-approval."

With QuickQual, loan officers set parameters within the system based on the borrower's maximum pre-approved loan amount. From there, borrowers and their real estate agents can generate pre-approval letters on demand and run payment scenarios based on those parameters, thus providing borrowers with a deeper understanding of their capacity to purchase on a house-by-house basis.

"Affinity Plus is a perfect example of the difference thoughtful tech investment can make in helping credit unions compete effectively in today's market," said LenderLogix Co-Founder and CEO Patrick O'Brien. "This is exactly what we intended when designing our suite of products - to improve lenders' operations by addressing the gaps in their existing tech stack and provide a stellar user experience for their customers."

About LenderLogix:

LenderLogix leverages the four decades of firsthand mortgage origination and real estate experience of its executive team to design customized software and APIs to meet the needs of today's mortgage lenders.

Faith Leaders Learn to Help Others with Scientology Tools for Life

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- The Volunteer Ministers Canadian Continental Cavalcade and the Church of Scientology of Cambridge, Ontario, hosted an interfaith forum with members of the Ahmadiyya Muslim community. Those attending were introduced to the Volunteer Ministers program and the 19 Scientology Tools for Life.

The Scientology religion offers practical solutions to help improve conditions in life. In 1973, Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard directed this technology to be made available for the training of Volunteer Ministers to enable them to confront "the pain, evil and injustice of existence," and gain the ability "to handle these things and help others achieve relief from them and new personal strength as well."

Those attending the seminar logged on to the free online Scientology Tools for Life course on the Scientology website and enrolled on the Technology of Study Course. Volunteer Ministers were on hand to help them master the principles and gain skill in their application.

The ability to learn is, of course, the cornerstone of the Volunteer Ministers program as it makes it possible to learn and apply each of the other skills a Volunteer Minister must master, including how to improve communication, resolve conflicts and relationship problems, raise happy and ethical children, succeed in one's chosen profession or field, and better one's own or others' conditions and circumstances.

Each student was presented a certificate on completing the course.

"Life is evolving," said one participant, "so we need to evolve with it." He realized that the knowledge he gained from the seminar will help him do so.

Another found she already "knew" some of the information in the course, but didn't apply it before. This course helped her understand what she was running into when she had difficulties while studying and how she can overcome them now. This will help her use what she learns from now on.

Many were interested in taking part in additional Tools for Life seminars and inviting their friends and colleagues to join them.

In a lecture in 1950, Mr. Hubbard described the importance of education to the future of the culture, not to mention the bettering of conditions for the individual: "The end and goal of any society, as it addresses the problem of education, is to raise the ability, the initiative and the cultural level and with all these the survival level of that society."

The Church of Scientology Cambridge was dedicated in February 2013 by Scientology ecclesiastical leader Mr. David Miscavige.

Every Church of Scientology is a central point from which the Church's many community and social betterment activities are coordinated. The Church and its members are committed to helping others and so provide assistance through a wide range of activities. In addition to the Scientology Volunteer Ministers program, these include anti-drug campaigns, human rights education initiatives, as well as social betterment programs utilizing L. Ron Hubbard's technology for drug rehabilitation, morality,

literacy, and criminal reform.

Churches also serve as central meeting places for parishioners and like-minded community groups with whom Scientologists partner.

From its beginnings, the Church of Scientology has recognized that freedom of religion is a fundamental human right. In a world where conflicts are often traceable to intolerance of others' religious beliefs and practices, the Church has, for more than 50 years, made the preservation of religious liberty an overriding concern.

The Church publishes the Scientology Religious Freedom Blog to help create a better understanding of the freedom of religion and belief and provide news on religious freedom and issues affecting this freedom around the world.

The Founder of the Scientology religion is L. Ron Hubbard and Mr. David Miscavige is the religion's ecclesiastical leader.

Concordia Releases 2023 Amazonas Summit Solutions Report and Announces Guyana as Location for 2024

NEW YORK, N.Y. /ScoopCloud/ -- Today, at its 2023 Annual Summit alongside the UN General Assembly in New York City, Concordia released its 2023 Amazonas Summit Solutions Report and announced Guyana as the location for next year's gathering.

The 2023 Concordia Amazonas Summit took place in Ecuador in July and brought together a group of leaders and decision makers in the Amazon rainforest with the goal of establishing market-driven, nature-based solutions to protecting the most important haven of biodiversity in the world.

The 2023 Amazonas Summit Solutions Report, available here ( https://uploads.concordia.net/2023/09/13154649/2023-Concordia-Amazonas-Summit-Report.pdf ), details key summary and action points related to three core themes: environmental sustainability, health opportunities & challenges, and cultural diplomacy & youth advocacy.

At today's 2023 Concordia Annual Summit, Concordia Leadership Council Member Iván Duque, Former President of the Republic of Colombia, said: "The Concordia Amazon Solutions Report is a mechanism to identify market-driven nature-based solutions, in which we are able to enhance the accessibility of Amazonic products in developed countries, reduce or eliminate deforestation, and identify market mechanisms to provide seed capital and angel investments to local entrepreneurs and indigenous entrepreneurs." He continued: "This report gathers the ideas of the brightest minds on environmental matters in the Western Hemisphere and it will become the reference model for the actions that we're going to embrace in the following months."

Concordia's Co-Founder, Matthew Swift, said: "The inaugural Concordia Amazonas Summit explored ways in which we can protect the biodiversity of the region, encourage indigenous entrepreneurism, mobilize climate finance, create a credible and replicable carbon market, and forge partnerships around innovative and scalable ideas to protect and renew the irreplaceable ecosystem. Today's release of this report represents a crucial step forward in our next steps and follow up, and we look forward to continuing these efforts ahead of gathering in Guyana next year."

On the Scientology Network: Helping Bring Human Rights to Life in Nepal

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Born and raised during Nepal's 10-year civil war, Rahul KC grew up surrounded by violence. By the time the war ended in 2006, 19,000 had died and 3,000 men, women and children disappeared, never to be found, according to Rahul's Voices for Humanity episode on the Scientology Network.

Human rights violations, inherent in the culture from centuries past, persist. These include gender inequality, domestic violence, child marriage and labor, and a system that, despite being officially "abolished," continues to suppress members of lower castes.

As president of Youth for Human Rights Nepal, Rahul KC is determined to bring human rights and justice to every member of his country. His episode of Voices for Humanity is featured on the Scientology Network tonight at 8 p.m. ET/PT.

Youth for Human Rights International founder and president Mary Shuttleworth brought her organization's first Human Rights World Educational Tour to Nepal in 2005. Rahul, then only 12, served as her translator. His passion for instilling the 30 rights of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) to the benefit of each member of his country began then and has continued ever since. The UDHR is celebrating its 75th anniversary this year, adopted by the United Nations on December 10, 1948.

Rahul formed Youth for Human Rights Nepal with two other young human rights activists, and together they have seen to the human rights education of some 50,000 students in the county's schools, 60,000 Scouts, and 35,000 officers of Nepal's armed security forces.

They have brought their educational program and their passion for human rights to the prime minister, members of parliament, and the country's human rights commission, and have helped see to the revision of Nepal's constitution to ensure effective implementation, protection and promotion of human rights.

Youth for Human Rights International] (YHRI) is the sister organization of United for Human Rights, a not-for-profit organization founded to encourage young people to become advocates for tolerance and peace by educating them on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Thanks to the support of the Church of Scientology and Scientologists, Youth for Human Rights International provides its secular program and materials free of charge to anyone wishing to use them to educate others on this vital subject.

Inspired by Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard who stressed that "human rights must be made a fact, not an idealistic dream," Scientology Churches, Missions and groups worldwide promote human rights awareness through education about the UDHR.

The Scientology Network debuted on March 12, 2018. Since launching, it has been viewed in 240 countries and territories in 17 languages. Satisfying the curiosity of people about the Scientology religion and 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. The network also showcases documentaries by independent filmmakers who represent a cross-section of cultures and faiths, but share a common purpose of uplifting communities.

Broadcast from Scientology Media Productions, the Church's global media center in Los Angeles, the Scientology Network is available on DIRECTV Channel 320, DIRECTV STREAM, AT&T U-verse and can be streamed at Scientology.tv, on mobile apps and via the Roku, Amazon Fire and Apple TV platforms.

The new VOI and VOE features in the Floify platform enable mortgage professionals to view the results of multiple verification reports from different providers, starting with the least expensive, rather than having to run each one individually. This is expected to save Floify clients time while also realizing cost savings.

"We are pleased to launch the VOI and VOE waterfall with Informative Research. This unique technology will help our clients reduce costs, which is especially important today as verification-related fees increased significantly in the past three years," said Sofia Rossato, Floify's president and general manager. "As an added benefit, because these waterfalls can be run within the Floify platform, our clients can bypass loan origination system add-on fees that often come with enabling new features."

"The Floify and Informative Research VOE/I waterfall solution helps us accelerate the application-to-close timeline while delivering significant cost reductions to our branches and clients," said John Norris, vice president of technology and innovation at Benchmark Mortgage, a Dallas-based mortgage lender.

"Informative Research's Verification Waterfall and AccountChek technologies work together with Floify's platform to enhance the asset, employment and income verification processes. The partnership seeks to eliminate redundant orders and to streamline what used to be a cumbersome procedure for lenders," said Craig Leabig, SVP of marketing and product management for Informative Research.

The McGrath Project Releases 6th Album for International Release at the end of September

FORT WORTH, Texas /ScoopCloud/ -- The McGrath Project is back! Three years after the band released its last album, "Golden Goose," in 2020, the band has emerged from this post pandemic world with new life. The new album titled, "Oh My," will be released internationally on September 26, 2023, with pre orders available on all digital mediums on the following link https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/themcgrathproject/oh-my-2.

The band's lead single, "When Did," will be released the same day and will be accompanied by a music video available on YouTube and other video streaming services.

When asked about the vibe of this album lead singer, Breeawna Littlepage said, "This record is across the board! It shows the extent of what the band is able to do and we have a lot to say both lyrically and musically."

"There are bands out there that are one trick ponies, and are very good at one thing, but this record shows we have at least a few tricks," added touring keyboardist Victor Toruno.

The record features the return to the studio of founding member Dean Minnerly of Three Dog Night. "Even though I can't physically tour, the studio is always a wonderful experience, Minnerly expressed. Gary is a true renaissance man. He's a highly accomplished musician, producer, songwriter and engineer; so, watching him work and being a welcomed collaborator is always a good time and I'm so proud of what we have put together this time around. It really is a true McGrath Project record."

The band will hit the road in the US in 2024, as the opening act for Gilby Clarke of Guns n Roses, Last in Line, 80's Icon: Tiffany as well as playing festivals across the country.

Band leader Gary McGrath says, "This record allows us to explore a more emotional side. For a live band if you don't give your heart, you're dead in the water."

"We are a live band," added drummer Guyton Sanders, "When we are on, we are as good as anyone out there. We put together something special and I can't wait to bring this record to the people".

Scientology Kansas City, a Compassionate Presence in the Heart of America

KANSAS CITY, Mo. /ScoopCloud/ -- "Kansas City is the heart of the United States. It's the focal point, the epicenter," says Deshaun, an executive at the Church of Scientology. "With the flow of energy that comes through this city, it is one of those spots where you can go, 'You know what? This is the heart of America. I can put myself there and make a difference.'"

Kansas City is featured Monday, September 18, at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Destination: Scientology on the Scientology Network.

Kansas City Scientologists came together to find the perfect building to accommodate the growth of the congregation and allow it to expand. "When you know you have the solutions to help others," says Rob, a KC parishioner, "you just want to get it out there. As Scientologists, we all came together as a group. We wanted something special for Kansas City." They found a building in the very heart of the city's Crossroads District and decided it couldn't be a more perfect spot.

Dedicated in November 2019 by Scientology ecclesiastical leader Mr. David Miscavige, the Church was awarded the Associated Building Contractors of America Building Excellence Award for its historic renovation, aesthetics and attention to detail.

Like any other city in America, Kansas City faces tremendous challenges. In 2020, drug overdose became the leading cause of death among adults age 18 to 44 in Missouri. And the city has been plagued by violent crime.

"Our motto is to bring the community together to build a better community," says Bennette Seaman, public relations officer for the Church.

Speaking at an open house, where the Church introduced the community to the drug education initiative it supports, the Public Outreach Officer of the KC Fire Department described the impact the Church's humanitarian programs have had in the neighborhood. "We've had a pride take over and decency of interaction between neighbors, and that's all a direct reflection of the Church being here."

The Scientology Network debuted on March 12, 2018. Since launching, it has been viewed in 240 countries and territories in 17 languages. Satisfying the curiosity of people about the Scientology religion and 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. The network also showcases documentaries by independent filmmakers who represent a cross-section of cultures and faiths, but share a common purpose of uplifting communities.

Broadcast from Scientology Media Productions, the Church's global media center in Los Angeles, the Scientology Network is available on DIRECTV Channel 320, DIRECTV STREAM, AT&T U-verse and can be streamed at Scientology.tv, on mobile apps and via the Roku, Amazon Fire and Apple TV platforms.

Two Japanese Whiskys from Asaka Distillery win Silver and Double Gold Medals at the 2023 New York World Wine and Spirits Competition

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- The 2023 New York World Wine and Spirits Competition awarded its coveted Double Gold Medal to Asaka Distillery's Asaka Single Malt Japanese Whisky, Aril Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Cask Reserve, and a Silver Medal to Asaka Single Malt Japanese Whisky, Bourbon Cask Reserve, Suzuki-Marketing, Incorporated announced today.

What sets both whiskys apart is the fact that they are:

100% distilled in Koriyama City, Fukushima, Japan, in a Miyake Japanese still from imported Scottish malt. (The distillery uses a Japanese-made still because Miyake, being a local company, can manufacture a still that can perform in Fukushima's hot summers and very cold winters.) Many Japanese whiskys are made with blends of Japanese and imported whisky. In 2015, Asaka committed itself to distilling all of its whisky in Japan.

Non chill-filtered - to preserve all the flavor of the whisky.

No caramel color is added - many distilleries add caramel color to create a uniform color for each batch. Asaka whiskys gets their color solely from the barrels in which they're aged.

Bottled at barrel ("Genshu") strength. ("Genshu" is a sake term that indicates the sake is barrel strength. Asaka employs the word "Genshu" to honor its sake heritage.)

About Asaka Single Malt Japanese Whisky, Bourbon Cask Reserve (Silver Medal)

The Bourbon Cask Reserve whisky is aged for three years in Bourbon barrels and bottled full-strength at 61% Alcohol by Volume (122 proof). The color is a light gold. The aromas of dry citrus, vanilla, oak, and brown spices appear upon opening the bottle. Flavors of dry fig, citrus, tangerine, and spices coat the palate. The influence of the bourbon cask treatment is felt throughout, but especially on the finish, reminiscent of the finest bourbon paired with Japanese sensibility.

About Asaka Single Malt Japanese Whisky, Aril Napa Valley, Cabernet Sauvignon Cask Reserve (Double Gold Winner)

The Asaka Cabernet Sauvignon Cask Reserve is aged for three years in Bourbon barrels, followed by an additional six months in Cabernet Sauvignon barrels from Aril Napa Valley winery ( https://www.arilwines.com/ ). The light gold color is beautifully tinged with the garnet color influenced by the cabernet sauvignon barrel aging. You're greeted with dry citrus, vanilla, oak, and brown spice aromas, with an added layer of blackberry, plum, black pepper and violets that adds greatly to the overall experience. With only 480 bottles made, this whisky's suggested retail price is $245.

Mark Cummins, winemaker at Aril Wines (arilwines.com) said, "Working with Asaka Distillery was a chance to bring the rich heritage of California winemaking and the precision craftsmanship of Japanese whisky production together. By using the French Oak barrels that stored our Napa Cabernet, Asaka created a product that honors Napa Valley 's winemaking heritage and the whisky distilling craft that the Yamaguchi family has been honing for 77 years. We're very proud to be a part of this."

Kyoji Yamaguchi, Representative Director of Sasanokawa/Asaka and a 10th-generation family member involved with the business, said, "We are extremely honored and humbled by these awards. Our goal moving forward is to work even harder to keep producing better whisky. We hope our whisky makes people around the world a little happier every time they pour a glass. We're looking forward to having people taste the next batch of whisky we produce."

Serving Suggestions

Both whiskys can be served neat, on the rocks, with a slight amount of water ("mizuwara style") to open the aroma and flavor, or in a classic Japanese highball. The Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve is also delicious as a New York Sour, (served with a red wine float on the top) which complements the red wine influence in the whisky.

Jose Delgado, the Wine Director of Restaurant Mourad (mouradsf.com) in San Francisco, was one of the first beverage directors to put Asaka whiskys on a menu. "Both Asaka Whiskys are my absolute favorites to recommend to my guests here at Mourad San Francisco who enjoy their drams on the rocks," he said. "The aromas of most ultra-premium whiskys, when served too cold, shut down at various degrees. Asaka Whiskys, on the contrary, blossom with pronounced high-toned aromas regardless of the cold. At 61% and 62% abv at barrel strength, the slow dilution on premium ice makes the Asaka duo one of the smoothest and most refreshingly complex drams around."

Quinton Jay, is the proprietor of Bacchus Wine & Spirits (bacchusws.com) in Millbrae, California, and one of the largest purveyors of Japanese whiskys in the US. He was one of the first retailers to put Asaka Whisky on the shelves. "In the confusing and misleading market of Japanese Whisky, Asaka Japanese Whisky deserves a prime spot on our shop's shelves especially since it embodies the authentic craftsmanship and tradition of Japanese whisky-making," he said.

According to an August, 2020 article in the leading Japanese Whisky website Nomunication ( https://www.nomunication.jp/distillery/asaka/ ) "Tohoku (Northeastern Japan) is known for hot summers and cold winters. Big temperature swings like this can respectively draw more whisky into, then push it out of the wood. It's expected that this will bring significantly more cask influence to Asaka's whiskies when compared to those of similar age at other distilleries in Japan."

About Asaka Distillery

Asaka Distillery's heritage dates to 1765 when Sasanokawa Sake Brewery became the first sake brewery in Northeastern Japan's Tohoku Region. In 1946, TetsuoYamaguchi, the company's president, realized that the Allied Occupation Soldiers in the region preferred whisky to sake. So, he applied for and received the first distilling license in Fukushima and began selling Cherry Whisky & Yamazakura brand whisky. Asaka, incidentally, is where Ichiro Akuto stored and blended the Ichiro's Blend Card Series, which launched this iconic brand.

In 2015, the Yamaguchi family recommitted to making 100% distilled-in-Japan, Japanese whisky In November, 2016, the distillery re-launched with new equipment and a commitment to 100% Japanese whisky made with imported Scottish malt.

Suzuki-Marketing began importing Asaka Whisky to the US in 2021, following its successful introduction of Sasanokawa sake in the US. Yuko Suzuki-Bischoff, founder and CEO, said, "After we introduced Sasanokawa sake in 2021, we were delighted to find out that the Yamaguchis also distill amazing whisky. They were also willing to listen to our ideas for the US market and take some serious chances with us. They worked very hard and guided us through many barrel tastings to develop whiskys that we are very proud of."

About Suzuki-Marketing

Based in South San Francisco, California, Suzuki-Marketing, Incorporated was founded by Yuko Suzuki in 2004. In addition to importing Japanese whisky and sake, the company also imports Ultra-Premium Moriizou Shochu and Ogata Ranch Maesawa Wagyu Beef. The company exports fine wine and spirits to Asia-Pacific and provides marketing and distribution support throughout the region. Ms. Suzuki was former Asia-Pacific Marketing Director for Gallo Wines, and is a Japan Sommelier Association Certified Wine Advisor, WSET Advanced, and Certified Wine Specialist (Society of Wine Educators). https://suzukimarketing.com/

World Open Water Swimming Association’s Final Review: Nyad’s 2013 Cuba to Florida Swim Ratification Denied

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- The World Open Water Swimming Association's (WOWSA) Advisory Board reached a decision regarding Diana Nyad's submission for ratification for the Cuba to Florida swim in 2013.

Our decision is rooted in the following considerations:

Integrity in Sport: At the heart of any sport lies its integrity. The rules and regulations established by ratifying bodies, no matter how large or small, are designed to ensure a level playing field for all participants. When these rules are ill-defined or ignored, intentionally or otherwise, it disrespects the achievements that are made under strict adherence to the rules.

Precedent: This decision sets a standard for upcoming athletes and ratifying bodies. By not addressing the provision of ambiguous documents and the creation of an association lacking indicators of authenticity, we may inadvertently suggest that outcomes matter more than the means to achieve them. Such a stance could unintentionally prompt future athletes to stray from established norms, thinking their achievements might eclipse any irregularities.

Documentation and Procedural Failure: During our evaluation, we came across rules from an association whose existence at the time of the swim, or at any point, could not be verified. We found a document with rules that seemed to have been retroactively dated, and there were inconsistent statements from crew members. Observers who play a vital role in recording swim details and ensuring rule compliance, often holding more significance than GPS data, had missing entries for a span of over 9 hours.

In light of these factors, we've chosen to preserve the sport's integrity by denying the ratification of the swim. We've issued a supplementary report that delves deeper into the matter and highlights various inconsistencies and findings, all of which have been publicly shared to ensure transparency.

Moving forward, to ensure the integrity of our sport and prevent such incidents in the future, we commit to the following actions:

* Ensure rules are declared prior to any swim attempt.

* Require strict adherence to established rules and standards in the course of any open water swim attempt.

* Require documentation of adherence to established rules and standards in the course of any open water swim attempt.

* Mandate strict pre-swim planning procedures for all record attempts.

* Collaborate with the community to define clear criteria for legitimate associations in our sport.

* Enhance support for those who share concerns or observations.

* Offer training and ethical guidelines for officials, observers, and participants.

Major Arena Soccer League (MASL) Receives Congressional Support to Allow Visas for Foreign Players

ONTARIO, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- The Major Arena Soccer League (MASL) received support from the U.S. House of Representatives Soccer Caucus this week to help highly talented players be granted visas to play in the United States. Professional soccer players from around the world are currently being denied entry into the United States despite the clear intention of Congress to make sure professional athletes are able to enter the country.

In 2019 the MASL had 76 players with active P1 Visas competing and contributing to the overall competitive caliber of the league, today there are only eight players with active P1 Visas. With this shift many talented individuals have had to return to their native countries, many after establishing themselves as esteemed members of their communities.

The MASL represents the highest level of professional indoor soccer in the world and therefore draws top-tier players from across the globe including many stars of international play. Teams need to be able to recruit the very best the soccer world has in order to maintain the fast-paced, technical and exciting games fans and sponsors love.

The U.S. House of Representatives Soccer Caucus and co-chairs Darin LaHood (R-IL 18th District), Rick Larsen (D-WA 2nd District), Don Bacon (R-NE 2nd District), and Kathy Castor (D-FL 14th District) have stepped in and are urging the Department of Homeland Security to fix the problem. The Caucus has sent a letter to Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas urging Homeland Security take immediate action to fix this issue.

This problem is causing havoc for professional soccer players and their families as many of them count on this income to be able to not only support themselves in the United States but be able to send money back to their families in their own country. In addition, many of these players have been in the United States previously under visas and were great citizens on and off the field. Many of these professional soccer players give back to their communities in the form of visits to hospitals, schools and teaching soccer clinics to young and under privileged children.

Claysson Azevedo De Lima, a Brazilian national, has been in the United States on P1A status since first signing with the Ontario Fury (now Empire Strykers) before the 2017-18 MASL season. After leading Ontario Fury to the Ron Newman Cup Finals during the 2020-21 season, Claysson was named "Goalkeeper of the Year." In August of 2022, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) renewed Claysson's P1A status as an internationally recognized athlete, however, in June 2023, that status was revoked by USCIS and Claysson currently finds himself unable to play professional soccer in the United States.

Specifically, USCIS determined that the MASL is not a "major sports league," and therefore Claysson is no longer deemed to be an internationally recognized athlete coming to the United States to participate in competitions with distinguished reputation(s).

The MASL joins members of the U.S. House of Representatives Soccer Caucus in calling on Homeland Security Secretary Mayorcas to help with this situation. Our league, its fans, coaches, ownership and most importantly our players from around the world are just looking for the same protection to MASL players that has been extended to players in other major sports leagues.

About Major Arena Soccer League:

The Major Arena Soccer League (MASL) is the highest level of professional indoor soccer, featuring teams stretching across North America, from coast to coast in the United States and Mexico. The MASL's players originate from over 30 nations, representing the best talent from across the globe. Learn more at: https://www.maslsoccer.com/

Mortgage Machine Services launches loan origination system built for the digital mortgage era

ADDISON, Texas /ScoopCloud/ -- Mortgage Machine Services, an industry leader in digital origination technology to residential mortgage lenders, announced the launch of its namesake platform Mortgage Machine™, an out-of-the-box, all-in-one loan origination system (LOS) designed to accelerate lenders' operational velocity and support an end-to-end digital origination process.

Developed by digital mortgage pioneer and industry veteran Jeff Bode, Mortgage Machine aims to simplify complex mortgage processes and consolidate disjointed operations by leveraging workflow automation, compliance assurance and digital enhancements to create a seamless lending experience.

"The LOS is the operational linchpin for every mortgage business, but most LOS platforms on the market today were not designed to support a fully digital origination process," Bode said. "As a result, lenders often have to retrofit their existing LOS or work around its limitations to achieve their digital goals. Mortgage Machine was intentionally designed with a digital process in mind, giving lenders the ability to 'plug n' play' and move faster than ever, and has been battle tested inside a digital-first mortgage lender to ensure it can provide the necessary lift lenders need to make the move to eMortgages."

Mortgage Machine features AI-powered task automation, a scalable cloud-based infrastructure and flexible API capabilities. The platform also offers pre-configured workflows tailored for retail and wholesale loan processes, ensuring it works across retail, wholesale and correspondent lending channels. With seamless document management and point-of-sale functions, loan officers remain in control of the entire loan lifecycle to increase efficiency, reduce costs and enhance the borrower experience. The system also provides end-to-end support throughout the lending, underwriting, documentation and closing of a residential mortgage loan.

In addition to incorporating the latest AI and document management, Mortgage Machine offers all-in-one eClosing functionality, including an eClose room, eNotes, eVault and remote online notarization (RON). The platform also includes SMART Doc(r) data and security standards from the Mortgage Industry Standards Maintenance Organization (MISMO), enabling lenders to utilize this electronic document format throughout the entire lending process and even into loan servicing.

"SMART Docs are one of the most necessary - and overlooked - components to executing digital mortgage at scale," Bode added. "Utilizing this standard in Mortgage Machine not only provides lenders with a significant operational assist in getting started with digital mortgages, but it also ensures the security and integrity of the documents and data being processed by the system, thus adding an extra layer of confidence in moving to an entirely automated, electronic origination process."

About Mortgage Machine Services, Inc.

Mortgage Machine™ is an industry leader in transforming residential mortgages using a range of digital solutions. Drawing on its extensive industry knowledge and advanced technology infrastructure, the company has been innovating in financial markets since 2007.

Soberlink Launches ‘Addiction Care is Healthcare’ Campaign in Honor of National Recovery Month

HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- In recognition of National Recovery Month this September, Soberlink, the 'Gold Standard' in alcohol monitoring, is proud to announce the launch of its 'Addiction Care is Healthcare' campaign. The initiative seeks to normalize addiction care and firmly establish its place within the larger umbrella of holistic healthcare.

"Soberlink celebrates National Recovery Month by showcasing the parallelism between healthcare and addiction care," reads the campaign's landing page. The company's mission is to break barriers, shift paradigms, and erase stigmas associated with alcohol monitoring and addiction care.

Joshua Cagney, M.A., an Addiction Recovery Professional, emphasized the importance of Soberlink's technology in the recovery journey. "External structures are critical for clients in early recovery from Alcohol Use Disorder. I'm not sure that I've found a better tool to create external structure outside of the treatment environment than Soberlink," said Cagney.

Recent studies underscore the urgency of the campaign's message. Research supported by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) reveals that nearly one-third of adults in the U.S. have experienced Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) at some point in their lives. Alarmingly, only about 20 percent of them seek AUD treatment.

Soberlink's state-of-the-art design and technology provide a modern, discreet user experience, rewriting narratives on alcohol monitoring. "Much like tools in traditional healthcare, such as glucose monitors for diabetes, Soberlink plays a pivotal role in addiction care by fostering connectivity, accountability, and progress tracking," the company stated.

The campaign's landing page, which can be found at https://www.soberlink.com/addiction-care-is-healthcare, offers more insights and resources on the importance of addiction care in the broader healthcare landscape.

For media inquiries or further information about the 'Addiction Care is Healthcare' campaign, please contact Thy-An Tran, Soberlink's Advertising & Marketing Director, at ttran@soberlink.com.

About Soberlink:

Since 2011, Soberlink has linked sobriety with technology to create the most comprehensive remote alcohol monitoring system. Recognized as the 'Gold Standard' in alcohol monitoring by healthcare professionals and clients alike, Soberlink continues to innovate and lead the industry in ensuring that addiction care is seen as an integral part of holistic healthcare.

"To that end, I'm proud to announce that our leadership team and 1,300+ employees will focus on a smooth, uneventful transition plan for our clients."

Dark Matter Technologies' deep client roster is an impressive group of banks, credit unions and independent mortgage lenders which represent a significant percentage of the mortgage industry's transactions. In addition to proven technology and support, clients will continue to demand financial strength and stability, robust audit, security and regulatory compliance tools and a continued track record of product investment.
