HIX Editor, a Next-Gen AI Text Editor that Sets to Transform the Creative Process and Rival Notion AI

NEW YORK, N.Y. /ScoopCloud/ -- HIX.AI, the most powerful, all-in-one AI writing copilot, has just unveiled its groundbreaking product, the HIX Editor, an ultimate AI text editor that aims to challenge and outperform Notion AI. "Our vision is to stand toe-to-toe with Notion AI, delivering an even more powerful, accessible, and comprehensive alternative to users," says Camille Sawyer, CEO of HIX.AI.

HIX Editor is a one-stop AI platform that empowers users to write, rewrite, refine, edit, and export content. To cater to diverse individual and business content needs, it offers 3 unique writing modes: AI Mode, Chat Mode, and Power Mode.

Under the AI Mode, users can type // to access a quick lookup bar with tens of AI writing tools, from Continue Writing to Brainstorm Ideas, all designed to make users' content creation journey easier. Even better, users have the flexibility to command the tool to carry out any task as per their preferences. This writing mode gives users an empowered, focused, and cohesive writing experience.

The Chat Mode is more fitting for those who love chatbots and more interactive solutions. Within this mode, users can directly engage HIX.AI's unique chatbot, HIX Chat. Just like ChatGPT, it can be used to conduct research on different topics, enhance already written text, summarize long-form blog posts into more concise notes, and more. The standout feature of HIX Chat is its capability to connect with millions of real-time databases, delivering up-to-date and relevant responses to any question asked. All of these features make it the best collaborative partner for content creation.

Perfect for those seeking more customizable writing assistance, Power Mode opens the gateway to over 120 writing templates. With them, users can instantly write or rewrite blog posts, social media captions, emails, marketing copies, ads, and more. The templates are packed with customizable options to help users optimize their drafts for the best output, whether it's for SEO practices or audience engagement.

"With our editor, the journey from draft to publication is seamlessly simplified and streamlined," says Camille Sawyer. Users can make sure their draft is original and error-free thanks to the editor's built-in plagiarism and grammar checker. After crafting their drafts to their hearts' content, users can even export their creations via Google Docs and WordPress with a single click.

"HIX Editor doesn't just match Notion AI; it surpasses it," Camille firmly states. Unlike Notion AI, which offers a mere 10+ tools, HIX Editor brings an expansive suite of 120+ tools to the table. Additionally, HIX Editor can smoothly integrate with Google Docs, social media platforms, and Gmail through its browser extension. Once installed and activated, it elevates the user's writing experience wherever they are. By merely typing //, users can instantly generate emails, tweets, Quora answers, and much more. Contrarily, Notion AI cannot be integrated into workflows on other platforms.

HIX Editor isn't just rising to challenge Notion AI; it's redefining the game. Clearly, with the innovative features we've glimpsed above, HIX Editor isn't merely content with surpassing its competition; it's pioneering a new standard in AI text editing.

Revolutionizing Timeshare Cancellation: Introducing Online Courses as the Affordable and Transparent Alternative to Costly Services

PENANG, Malaysia /ScoopCloud/ -- Timeshare Cancellation Mastery, an innovative venture led by Wayne C. Robinson, a seasoned expert in the timeshare industry, has successfully completed its pilot program, marking a pivotal moment in the realm of timeshare cancellation solutions. With over 220 enthusiastic timeshare owners enrolled in their cutting-edge timeshare cancellation course, Robinson's brainchild is poised to redefine the industry by offering a faster, more transparent, and affordable alternative to conventional and expensive timeshare cancellation services.

As a former timeshare sales, marketing, and contracts professional, Wayne C. Robinson recognized a pressing need for a practical and accessible solution for those facing the burden of an unwanted timeshare.

"Timeshare owners often find themselves in a tough spot when it comes to cancelling their timeshares. The traditional services come with exorbitant costs, sometimes upwards of $10,000, making it an unrealistic option for many. That's where Timeshare Cancellation Mastery steps in," said Robinson.

Timeshare And Resort Developer Accountability (TARDA.org), led by co-founder Irene Parker, is championing the protection of seniors, particularly widows, and military personnel from predatory practices in the timeshare industry. Seniors, hindered by health issues, financial challenges, or spousal loss, and military personnel, facing security clearance risks due to timeshare loan defaults, are especially vulnerable. With the support of notable organizations like the Federal Trade Commission and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, TARDA aims to ensure fair treatment and legislative changes that prevent exploitation of these demographics by unscrupulous timeshare developers. Through their advocacy, TARDA is shedding light on the need for reform and accountability within the industry, offering hope to those affected by these issues.

"Timeshares pose a risk for any consumer, but for those in the military, a loan default can lead to a loss of security clearances, and possibly involuntary separation from service," said Irene Parker, co-founder of TARDA. Even without a loan, many developers require the member to pay $1,000 or more to give back a timeshare."

In the words of Robinson, the success of the pilot program speaks volumes: "Out of the 220 students who participated, not a single one has come back to me stating that their timeshare was not legally cancelled. I am confident that I have maintained a 100% success rate. Students have unlimited access to me, and while a few encountered challenges with resorts not accepting their cancellations initially, they ultimately succeeded in freeing themselves from the timeshare burden without harming their credit or facing legal repercussions."

"This course was perfect for my needs, and I am now empowered to cancel my timeshare deed without incurring high attorney's fees," said Celine Hermann, one of the course students. "A huge shout out to Wayne Robinson for putting this information together to help vulnerable consumers everywhere."

Robinson's diverse professional background includes being a licensed real estate agent in New Mexico and Pennsylvania, as well as a licensed timeshare salesperson in Nevada. He has facilitated sales across international boundaries, from Canada and Mexico to the Caribbean islands, gaining an unparalleled understanding of the timeshare landscape.

Wayne C. Robinson's extensive experience in the industry and his role as the author of the bestselling book, "Everything About Timeshares," which is now in its fourth edition, solidify his authority in the field. The book has gained a reputation as the definitive guide to the timeshare industry, reflecting Robinson's dedication to empowering individuals with knowledge.

However, Robinson's efforts to bring accessible timeshare cancellation solutions have faced resistance on social media platforms and timeshare owner sites, such as Redweek and Timeshare Users Group.

"It's ironic that I've been blocked from reaching out to those who genuinely seek ways to cancel their timeshares without succumbing to exorbitant fees. People need to realize that they possess the ability to take control. The timeshare industry and homeowners associations have perpetuated the misconception that owners are powerless to cancel. My students stand as proof that it's entirely possible to cancel a timeshare with the right knowledge. This is precisely what I impart in my courses."

Timeshare Cancellation Mastery's pilot program triumph and Wayne C. Robinson's unwavering commitment to empowering timeshare owners stand as a testament to the evolution of the industry. As more individuals discover this transformative solution, the traditional barriers set by costly services are poised to crumble, paving the way for a new era of accessible and transparent timeshare cancellations.

Arizona’s Largest Business Accelerator Program Hosted Successful Supplier Diversity Matchmaking Event Powered by JPMorgan Chase

PHOENIX, Ariz. /ScoopCloud/ -- Fostering new connections and diverse business growth, the Millionaire Mastermind Academy, a leading nonprofit organization that has helped more than 8,000 diverse entrepreneurs across the country, and JPMorgan Chase & Co. hosted a Supplier Diversity Matchmaking event on Aug. 7 in support of IMPACT AZ 2025. With the goal of closing the racial wealth gap for business owners through supplier diversity readiness, IMPACT AZ 2025 launched in April with its first cohort of more than 50 business owners across the valley.

The matchmaking event connected diverse business owners with public and private supplier decision-makers, including the City of Phoenix, the City of Scottsdale, APS, JPMorgan Chase & Co., SRP and Via West Group, with opportunities from the construction and facilities maintenance, finance and insurance, transportation, manufacturing and professional services industries.

Dwight Warren, executive director and market manager of Government and Not-for-Profit Banking at JPMorgan Chase, kicked off the special event. In addition, Dr. Velma Trayham, founder of the Millionaire Mastermind Academy and creator of IMPACT AZ, and Robin Reed, CEO of the Black Chamber of Commerce of Arizona, welcomed attendees and shared perspectives on the importance of greater supplier diversity.

"Arizona's largest supplier diversity readiness accelerator is already making significant progress towards our goal of advancing more than 250 diverse businesses past the $1 million threshold," said Dr. Trayham. "We are incredibly proud to demonstrate needed leadership in supporting and growing diverse business opportunities across the wonderful state of Arizona."

The solutions-driven accelerator program is expanding procurement opportunities with corporations and government entities. Fortune 500 companies spend about 2% annually on minority-owned suppliers, well short of the 10% to 15% spending goals many corporations establish.

"At JPMorgan Chase, we place ongoing emphasis on supplier partnerships and building strong and lasting relationships," Warren added. "Thanks to this commitment over the past 25 years, we are better able to serve our clients, shareholders, employees and communities more efficiently and effectively."

How a Bike-Loving Italian Anti-Drug Activist is Helping Italy Live Drug-Free

BERGAMO, Italy /ScoopCloud/ -- Motorbikes roared through the city of Bergamo this June and leaned into the curves around Lake Iseo on one of Italy's most breathtaking and challenging highways. The bikers wore bright green vests bearing the logo of Foundation for a Drug-Free World proclaiming "Dico No alla Droga" (Say No to Drugs) on the 6th annual Motogiro for a Drug-Free Italy. This and many other drug prevention events over the summer and throughout the year are featured on the Scientology Network in an episode of Voices for Humanity on the work of a team of drug education and prevention activists led by Drug-Free World Italy Executive Director Oreste Depaoli.

Depaoli recalls his childhood, hanging out with older boys who introduced him to using drugs when he was 12. An addict by 19, he overdosed and nearly died. And he realized that if he continued on this path, it would kill him. That was in 1992.

He quit cold turkey and has never looked back. But many of his friends died of overdose or drug-related accidents and he wanted to do something effective to handle the blatant false propaganda that leads so many youth down the same dangerous path as the one he took. So when he learned about Foundation for a Drug-Free World, he immediately came on board.

"More and more people are dying of drug overdose in Italy every year," says Depaoli. "Where there are drugs, there are guns, crime and death. ... People are not well informed about what drugs are and what they do. And there are active campaigns in our society that make it look like drugs do no harm. ... If people knew what drugs really lead to, they could choose not to take them."

The Truth About Drugs campaign of Foundation for a Drug-Free World provides that information. Drug-Free World Foundation is an international nonprofit organization that partners with some 1,200 organizations, and government and law enforcement agencies worldwide to educate the public on the danger of drugs.

Using the resources from Foundation for a Drug-Free World, volunteers in countries across the globe are reaching their communities with this vital information. Foundation for a Drug-Free World also provides drug education eCourses free of charge through the Drug-Free World website.

Thanks to the support of the Church of Scientology and Scientologists, the Foundation provides the Truth About Drugs secular program and materials free of charge to drug educators worldwide. Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard noted the role substance abuse plays in the disintegration of the social fabric.

Motorbikes roared through the city of Bergamo this June and leaned into the curves around Lake Iseo on one of Italy's most breathtaking and challenging highways. The bikers wore bright green vests bearing the logo of Foundation for a Drug-Free World proclaiming "Dico No alla Droga" (Say No to Drugs) on the 6th annual Motogiro for a Drug-Free Italy. This and many other drug prevention events are featured on the Scientology Network in an episode of Voices for Humanity.

San Fernando Valley Woman-Owned Dance Shop Going Strong Since 1973

CANOGA PARK, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Capezio Dance Shop has been doing business in the San Fernando Valley for 50 years and shows no signs of slowing down. Founded by Sandy Friedman - now 85-years young - she continues to operate the business with the help of her son and daughter.

"I'm so proud of my mom who started this business before it was commonplace for women to start businesses," Dana Notario says. "And, on top of that, she's survived economic recessions, the Internet and most recently - COVID. That's no small feat for a small brick and mortar business."

So, what does Friedman attribute this stick-to-it-iv-ness success to? Personal service and expertise rank high. Caring about the community tops the list too.

"It's not just about selling dancewear and accessories to aspiring dancers - it's about making connections and keeping those connections alive," she says.

That philosophy appears to be working as Friedman still has some of the same customers from when she first opened her doors 50 years ago.

"I've had generations of families shopping here," she says. "For example, young girls that first got fitted for dance shoes five decades ago are now coming in with their grandkids. That's what it's all about."

Friedman first got the idea to open Capezio Dance Shop when she peeked into her daughter's ballet locker and saw all the shoes hanging there. That's when it hit her. The closest dancewear shop was about 30 miles away, so she decided, "I'm going to open a dance shop in the Valley."

Ever since, she's been working with the local community to help them get everything from perfectly-fitted dance shoes and dancewear to fun accessories and gifts.

Friedman enjoys giving back to the community and has served on several non-profit Boards in addition to donating dancewear and dance shoes to local schools and various programs. She also started an event about 40 years ago which is well known in the valley today - Capezio Dance Day. It started out with a makeshift stage in a parking lot behind the shop and has now grown into a beloved regional affair held at the Madrid Theater in Canoga Park. All the schools are invited to participate. The next one is scheduled for some time in 2024.

Anniversary Event In-Store:

To celebrate this milestone 50-year anniversary, Capezio Dance Shop is hosting a 20-percent off sale - and that's everything in the whole store.

The event will be held in the shop at 7128 Owensmouth Avenue, Canoga Park on Saturday, Aug. 26 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

About Capezio Dance Shop:

Capezio Dance Shop was founded in 1973 and is a family-owned business serving dancers in the San Fernando Valley. It carries multiple name brand shoes and dancewear and offers personal, quality customer service with an experienced staff who guides customers to what they need. In addition to a wide retail selection, services include professional pointe shoe fittings, sewing and rubbers for tap/dance shoes.

Ms. Lisa Fischer & Grand Baton

Lisa Fischer, who spent four decades as a featured background with icons like The Rolling Stones, Chaka Khan, Luther Vandross, and Tina Turner, is now taking center stage with her own award-winning style. The 2013 Best Documentary Oscar winning film, "Twenty Feet from Stardom," altered the course of Fischer's musical journey by telling her story through clips of her legendary duets with Mick Jagger and Sting.

The film left audiences eager to hear more, leading to her organic fusion of Caribbean psychedelic soul and jazzy progressive rock which has been exciting fans worldwide! At Jazz Fest, Lisa Fischer will perform with Grand Baton, a dynamic collaboration that has impressed audiences at major events including The Monterey Jazz Festival, The Newport Jazz Festival, and The New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival.

An Evening with Branford Marsalis

After four decades in the international spotlight, the achievements of saxophonist Branford Marsalis continue to grow. From his initial recognition as a young jazz lion, he has expanded his vision as an instrumentalist, composer, bandleader, and educator, crossing stylistic boundaries while maintaining an unwavering creative integrity.

In the process, he has become a multi award-winning artist with three Grammys, a citation by the National Endowment for the Arts as a Jazz Master, and an avatar of contemporary artistic excellence.

The Branford Marsalis Quartet, formed in 1986, remains his primary means of expression; however, he is also a frequent soloist with classical ensembles and acclaimed orchestras and his legendary guest performances with the Grateful Dead and collaborations with Sting have made him a fan favorite in the pop arena.

His work on Broadway has garnered a Drama Desk Award and Tony nominations for the acclaimed revivals of Children of a Lesser God, Fences, and A Raisin in the Sun.

He received an EMMY nomination for composing the music for the History Channel's documentary, Tulsa Burning: The 1921 Race Massacre. His screen credits further include original music composed for: Spike Lee's Mo' Better Blues, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks starring Oprah Winfrey, Ma Rainey's Black Bottom starring Viola Davis and Chadwick Boseman.

MMI provides access to loan originator production data with LO Quick Profiles

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah /ScoopCloud/ -- Mobility Market Intelligence (MMI), a leader in data intelligence and market insight tools for the mortgage and real estate industries, today announced the release of its new LO Quick Profile search tool, which provides a summary view of a loan originator's (LO) production and top referral partners. This information allows lenders to evaluate LOs based on real-time, accurate transaction history rather than relying on their self-reported numbers.

Using the LO Quick Profile, lenders can enter specific LO NMLS numbers into the search bar and, with the click of a button, view production volume metrics from 14 months, 7 months and year-to-date, including:

* Loan production volume;

* Transaction types;

* Loan types;

* Top buy-side & list-side agent partners; and

* Top regions based on performance.

These real-time insights, which can be printed or saved as a PDF, provide lenders with an up-to-date look at LO performance and arm recruiters with the concrete performance data they need to decide whether candidates in their prospect pipeline are high-value targets. Understanding current production trends can also help companies adjust their performance expectations to include more realistic parameters.

"MMI collects, collates and cleanses data from multiple sources to provide actionable intelligence and satisfy many business goals, including LO recruiting," said MMI Founder and CEO Ben Teerlink. "The LO Quick Profiles are a condensed view of MMI's LO Fast Fact Profiles, which provide lenders and LOs with a comprehensive look into recent production highlights that aren't readily available and may have been previously missed."

While the LO Quick Profiles provide limited public access to some LO data, MMI's Fast Fact Profiles for subscribers deliver much deeper details, such as a more comprehensive list of buy-side and list-side agent relationships from the past 14 months, the number of transactions per agent, the agent's name and contact information and access to the agent's Fast Fact profile. Additionally, contact information can be imported into customer relationship management (CRM) software.

"MMI's objective is to provide the mortgage industry with tools that are helpful to lenders and LOs and give a taste of the actionable insights derived from the extensive amount of data available and how both can be used to further business objectives," continued Teerlink. "This is the latest in a series of MMI tools that provide non-customers with limited access to our platform data and insights. In our ongoing effort to highlight the importance of data in the mortgage industry, MMI will continue to develop and release resources like this to the public."

California’s Sacramento River Trail and Rail Trail Inducted into Rails-to-Trails Conservancy’s Hall of Fame

SACRAMENTO, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Rails-to-Trails Conservancy (RTC), the nation's largest trails advocacy organization, today announced that California's Sacramento River Rail Trail and Sacramento River Trail will be inducted to its iconic Hall of Fame.

Nestled beneath the Cascade and Trinity mountains, the trails provide 21 miles of transportation and recreation along California's largest river. The trail pair was selected for outstanding merits, including RTC's expanded eligibility criteria this year, which prioritizes multiuse trails that deliver exceptional accessibility and user experience, and contributions to the connectivity of regional trail and active transportation systems.

"Across the country, connected trail systems are proving their significance as essential community assets-creating safe space for people to be active outside, connecting neighbors and neighborhoods, and creating more transportation and mobility options for entire regions," said Ryan Chao, president of RTC. "This year's Hall of Fame nominees were examples of exceptional trails that are fundamental to our vision of a future where trails connect everyone, everywhere. The Sacramento River Rail Trail and Trail stand out by illustrating the impact of connecting trails in ways that provide opportunities for recreation, transportation and intimate connections to the history and nature steeped in place."

Once serving as a travel and trade route for indigenous peoples, then later by a subsidiary of the Central Pacific Railroad, the Sacramento River Rail Trail and Sacramento River Trail provide opportunities for the community to be active, access the outdoors, and connect to neighborhoods and destinations in and around the City of Redding, including the Shasta Lake Recreation Area and the Whiskeytown National Recreation Area. The trails also serve as a backbone for a developing regional trail system that encompasses more than 250 miles and will eventually stretch from the Shasta Dam to Redding's southern neighbor, Anderson, and beyond.

"We are excited to share with the world that the Sacramento River Rail Trail and Trail are indeed Hall of Fame worthy. We are grateful for our many partners who have collaborated on the development and expansion of the trails and our many users and support organizations who make the trails better every day. We invite you to visit and experience these world-class trails and scenic river," said Kimberly Niemer, director of community services for the City of Redding.

The trails are home to the Sundial Bridge, an awe-inspiring feature that links both sides of the Upper Sacramento River. The 700-foot-long, cable-stayed, glass and steel working sundial spanning the Sacramento River attracts an estimated 100,000 global visitors each year.

The bridge, park and Redding's vast network of trails-built in phases over the past three decades - have helped transform the region. The vast regional system of trails is a product of a partnership managed by the City of Redding, the Bureau of Land Management and the National Park Service with the support of local groups, foundations, other agencies and community members.

"We are proud to partner with the City of Redding and other groups in managing these trails that improve the quality of life for residents of our area, while offering destination-worthy opportunities for outdoor recreation," said Jennifer Mata, manager of the BLM's Redding Field Office.

The trail pair was among three nominees voted on by the public between Jul. 31 and Aug. 7, 2023, securing nearly 48% of the vote. The Sacramento River Rail Trail and Trail duo is the 37th inductee in RTC's Hall of Fame, joining an exemplary list of trails recognized for their outstanding scenic value, use, amenities, historical significance and community benefit. More than 30,000 votes were cast in the 2023 Hall of Fame contest. The other nominees were the Hennepin Canal State Trail in Illinois and the Prisma Health Swamp Rabbit Trail network in South Carolina.

For more information about the Hall of Fame, visit railstotrails.org.

Rails-to-Trails Conservancy is the nation's largest trails organization - with a grassroots community more than 1 million strong - dedicated to building a nation connected by trails, reimagining public spaces to create safe ways for everyone to walk, bike and be active outdoors.

Scientology Churches Share The Way to Happiness in the Spirit of Friendship

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- There is a good reason why The Way to Happiness is in such high demand. This booklet comprising 21 common-sense principles is not only the single most-translated nonreligious book. Some 250,000 groups and individuals have embraced it and use it to help others. And friendship has everything to do with its popularity. Each year on July 30, International Day of Friendship, and throughout the year, Scientology Churches share the power of The Way to Happiness with their communities.

In the first pages, author, humanitarian and Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard describes why he wrote the book and the best way to put it to use.

"Your survival is important to me," he wrote. And he urges those receiving the book to choose someone whose actions, however remotely, may influence their survival. Give them a copy, along with additional books to pass on to others involved in their lives.

"Without too much trouble," he wrote, "using this book, you can help them survive and lead happier lives."

And isn't that what friendship is all about?

The Way to Happiness has been creating positive change for people the world over since its first publication in 1981. Voices for Humanity on the Scientology Network documents stellar examples of its success:

* María Lara gained fame in Latin America and across the globe as a successful actress and model. Today, she's using her star power to combat violence, drugs, and destitution through a powerful message of hope that's resonating through the region.

* Carmelita Haynes, president of the Help Our People Excel (H.O.P.Ex.) Foundation, uses The Way to Happiness to restore moral values and bring true happiness to her native Aruba.

* Rosalba Cordero successfully fights back against crime and moral decay in Mexico by bringing a powerful and popular message about the importance of basic moral values to schools and prisons across the country.

* Jorge Perez grew up in a culture of drugs, corruption and violence in the Philippines. Vowing to help his country secure a brighter future, his nationwide effort to spread the message of morality has reached millions and is reaping amazing results.

* Reverend Leon Kelly uses L. Ron Hubbard's common-sense guide to better living to tackle the gang problem in Denver, Colorado. Kelly introduces hard-core gang members to its teachings and transforms their lives and the community.

* Minister Tony Muhammad has built a peace movement among notorious warring gangs in South-Central Los Angeles and the success of his motorcycle rallies, known as the "Peace Rides," has inspired cities across the nation.

These and other stellar examples of the use of The Way to Happiness are featured on Voices for Humanity, a Scientology Network original series of short documentaries introducing change-makers from all faiths, cultures and nations who extend help to their communities through Scientology-sponsored humanitarian programs.

Since launching with a special episode featuring Scientology ecclesiastical leader Mr. David Miscavige, Scientology Network has been viewed in 240 countries and territories in 17 languages. 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.

Hungarian Scientologists Help Make Summer Special for Families in Need

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- "Everyone is special" was the message at a celebration of "Everybody's Day" this summer in Újpalota, Hungary. Volunteer Ministers from the Church of Scientology Budapest joined the Baptist Charity Service, the Red Cross, and an Újpalota family support association to make this a memorable day for children in the underserved community on the northeastern border of Budapest.

There was face painting, glitter and henna tattoos, trampolines and bouncy castles. And to add to the fun, the Volunteer Ministers brought all the fixings to prepare and serve their recipe of spaghetti Bolognese.

Active throughout the year, the Volunteer Ministers of the Church of Scientology Budapest are featured in an episode of Destination: Scientology on the Scientology Network. During the pandemic, many people lost their livelihoods, and they needed help, says one of the executives of the Church of Scientology Budapest interviewed in the episode. She describes how Volunteer Ministers collected everything from food and clothing to toys for the children. And they provided these donations to those in need.

The president of a local ethnic community council describes how the pandemic increased the vulnerability of many families. "We were surprised by the Volunteer Ministers, for their attitude and their assessment of the scene and fast reaction," he says. "Without our asking, they helped our community with full devotion."

The founder of the Tunderpakk Foundation is also interviewed, and she describes the help of the Volunteer Ministers as "constant." "With the Church of Scientology and the volunteers, they always stand with us," she says, making it possible for the charity to serve the community, especially the children and the elderly.

The Church of Scientology Volunteer Ministers program is a religious social service created in the mid-1970s by Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard. It constitutes one of the world's largest independent relief forces.

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

The Church of Scientology of Budapest is an Ideal Scientology Church, dedicated by Scientology ecclesiastical leader Mr. David Miscavige in July 2016. The Church is configured to serve its parishioners in their ascent to spiritual freedom and to serve as a resource for the entire community.

Scientology Tokyo: The Best of the Past and an Even Brighter Future

TOKYO, Japan /ScoopCloud/ -- In celebration of their anniversary August 8, the staff and parishioners of the Church of Scientology Tokyo extend an invitation to watch Destination: Scientology - Tokyo on the Scientology Network and learn what they love most about their city and their Church.

Tokyo is a unique blend of hospitality, a culture of wisdom dating back thousands of years, and life on the cutting edge of technology. And this is a city where the Church of Scientology is right at home. It thrives in this bustling metropolis.

"That is the beauty of our Church," says Miyuki, one of the executives of the Church. "Scientology means 'knowing how to know' and it is all about knowing yourself and knowing life. So, we want to bring that wisdom to the people of Japan." Their goal is to empower the Japanese spirit, culture and people.

The Church is only 10 minutes from Shinjuku Station, the busiest station in the world. Three major train lines run right by the Church - one every three minutes. Yet despite the high-speed pace of life in Tokyo, the city and its people are grounded in a respect for others. "We have something called omotenashi," says Miyuki. "We think of others first."

The dedication of the Church of Scientology Tokyo by Scientology ecclesiastical leader Mr. David Miscavige on August 8, 2015, launched a new era for Japanese Scientologists. The facilities provide the staff far more ability to serve others and to do what they love best: Helping people better their relationships and become the best versions of themselves.

About Destination: Scientology

Destination: Scientology - Tokyo airs on the Scientology Network, 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.

Each episode of Destination: Scientology brings the viewer inside a new Church of Scientology, showcasing the diversity of our Churches and the cooperation that weaves every Church of Scientology into the local community fabric.

The Scientology Network debuted on March 12, 2018. Since launching, it has been viewed in more than 240 countries and territories in 17 languages. Satisfying the curiosity of people about Scientology 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.

New Podiatrist In Kissimmee Brings Balanced Approach To Foot And Ankle Care

KISSIMMEE, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- With an equal affinity for surgical intervention and conservative care, Vanisaben Patel, DPM, knows a thing or two about balance. Specializing in everything from reconstructive surgery to diabetic wound care, Dr. Patel's range illustrates her depth as a practitioner. This week she will step into her new office with Modern Foot & Ankle for the first time, ready to serve the Kissimmee community with her compassionate approach to podiatric healthcare.

"I love being a foot and ankle specialist because I played a lot of sports growing up and I had a widely-respected podiatrist who always kept me on my feet," said Dr. Patel. "I aspire to create that same standard of care for my patients."

A major factor in Dr. Patel's decision to join Modern Foot & Ankle was learning about the multiregional podiatric group's dual emphasis on advanced technologies and patient comfort.

"Modern Foot & Ankle has a family-friendly environment and wants to be a part of the community," she explained. "I'm excited to join a group that has such an even mix of technology-based and patient-centric care."

Evenness and balance are attributes that continue to characterize Dr. Patel's medical career. She has performed thousands of surgeries and been exposed to a comprehensive range of pathologies while operating in an emergency room setting. These experiences, she says, acutely sharpened her skills in both areas.

"My medical and post-grad training involved a heavy clinical and surgical load that exposed me to all sorts of traumas, pathologies, and patient problems," said Dr. Patel. "Due to this I am a well-trained physician who can provide my patients with the resources they need to heal."

She noted that she's been trained to use the newest technologies and surgical techniques for both elective procedures, such as bunion corrections, and complex fractures.

"I have a passion for surgical intervention, when it's necessary, but I also love the clinical side of podiatry," she said. "My goal is to have a busy clinic with a strong surgical schedule."

Dr. Patel's determination to provide first-rate care enables her and her patients to thrive. And by offering extended office hours, advanced on-site equipment, and little-to-no-wait appointments, Modern Foot & Ankle is a natural fit for her.

"It's easy to get up every day and head to work ready to help patients when you're supported by such a full-scope practice," she affirmed.

After living in various cities around Florida to complete her education and training, Dr. Patel says she is excited to move close to her hometown in Brevard County.

"My favorite aspect about the area is that it's a melting pot-people from all over the world move to Orlando and contribute to its unique and dynamic culture," she said. "The people of Kissimmee are warm and welcoming, which is exactly the type of community my husband and I are looking to build our lives in."

Besides becoming the new primary provider at the Kissimmee clinic, located at 3070 Loopdale Lane, Dr. Patel will also offer evening hours at the Celebration office on Tuesdays. To schedule an appointment with her, visit book.mfahealth.com.

About Modern Foot & Ankle(r)

Through Big-City Technology. Small-Town Care.(r) Modern Foot & Ankle is reshaping the patient experience and curating a progressive model for podiatric healthcare.

July’s Mortgage Lock Volume Flat Amongst Rising Rates in Latest MCT Indices Report

SAN DIEGO, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Mortgage Capital Trading, Inc. (MCT®), a leading mortgage hedge advisory and secondary marketing software firm, reported today a relatively flat .44% increase in mortgage lock volume over the prior month. Visit MCT's site to download the full report.

The relatively flat change in volume is likely attributed to seasonal momentum through Summer. "While July's mortgage lock volume remained relatively flat, mortgage rates continued to climb through July," said MCT's COO, Phil Rasori. "If rates continue to hold or climb from these new levels established in the first week of August, we can expect volume to drop."

The Fed's July decision to raise the Federal Funds Rate has contributed to an eight-month high for mortgage rates. This, coupled with the highest 10-year treasury yield in years and Fitch's recent decision to downgrade the U.S. credit rating, could spell rough seas ahead for the mortgage industry.

This month's MCT Indices also shows a roughly 13% drop in total lock volume from this time last year. However, this morning's August Nonfarm payroll report could be offering signs of hope. "If this morning's indications of a slightly cooling labor market were to persist into the future, this would provide more cover for the Fed to continue to pause and eventually cut rates," said Mr. Rasori.
