AI Brainstorm Creator optimizes the Interface of Human and Artificial Intelligence

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- AI Brainstorm Creator has announced its new protocol which builds projects for business, NGOs, and non-profits combining maximized human intelligence with optimized Artificial Intelligence (AI). Their approach does not rely on one or two AI platforms, but is rather a protocol for continuously investigating all the programs and utilizing the best ones for each task, as part of a larger vision. They have found this approach to be most efficient, since the emergence of new AI platforms happens nowadays with incredible speed.

Until very recently, long-form courses, Masterminds, workshops, and interactive webinars were the best ways to keep professionals abreast of new insights in their fields, as well as being arenas for new idea and product creation. The advances in AI have meant that now group brainstorming sessions using tools like generateideas.ai, as well as ChatGPT, Bard, Bing, and Claude can speed up these processes considerably.

Key to the method is the insight that the brain itself grows, evolves, and becomes more creative as it interacts with modern generative AIs. It might be more correct to say that the Human-AI interface itself is a new Entity, not seen before in history, which has the capacity to evolve in a multitude of directions at once.

Users are businesses large and small, NGOs, non-profits, and PR agencies. All can benefit from utilizing the Human-AI interface in ways which find innovations quickly.

Public Relations is an important component of the workflow. Online press releases serve as a net to bring in new expertise, as well as a way to publicize top-notch thinking. The result is like a continual scanning of the global population to find the latest insights. Stories are the evergreen impactful content for social media, and a wise PR strategy provides the right stories at the right time.

Current AIs for Enterprise emerge from a simplistic economic competition model: "use our platform because it is better than competitors at meeting your goals."

AI Brainstorm Creator comes from an approach more akin to biological systems, specifically cell competition or swarm intelligence: many humans and AIs from different backgrounds evolve solutions together.

An important aspect of ABC is the awarding of certificates of merit for worthy insights. Each winner is publicized on social media, and earns the right to confer their namesake prize upon others.

US Kidney Research Corp Unveils Breakthrough Ultrafilter Membrane for Dialysis

ROSEVILLE, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- US Kidney Research Corporation (USKRC) is delighted to announce new groundbreaking research as part of a contract with the University of Arkansas (U of A) resulting in the development of an ultrafiltration membrane with diverse filtering applications for medical and non-medical devices. This remarkable membrane represents a significant advancement, particularly in the field of dialyzers, the filtration device used in hemodialysis machines to remove toxins, promising improved dialysis performance and enhanced ultrafiltration flux.

The recently published research in Scientific Reports (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-023-37765-y) unveils a novel membrane created through a tempo cellulosic oxidation process and cast using ionic liquids. Notably, the membrane showcases exceptional biocompatibility, the ability to clear potential uremic toxins, and excellent stability. Its unique structure, characterized by the alignment of fibers after casting, leads to an extraordinarily high flux and substantial BSA rejection in ultrafiltration mode, surpassing the performance of traditional dialysis membranes.

"We were highly impressed by the membrane's behavior and performance; the fiber alignment in the final structure allows for superior functionality compared to conventional dialysis membranes," expressed Jamie Hestekin, one of the lead researchers at U of A.

As part of this concerted effort, USKRC has secured worldwide rights for the patented U of A membrane in all biomedical applications. USKRC's founder and CEO Roland Ludlow, revealed that the corporation intends to explore sublicensing partnerships both domestically and internationally, with the aim of expediting the introduction of this cutting-edge membrane technology to the market, enabling its use in dialysis and other relevant applications.

Dr. Ira Kurtz, Chief of Nephrology at UCLA, who is an author on the Scientific Reports paper and serves as the lead medical/scientific advisor to USKRC commented, "This new membrane chemistry could be a game changer in the care of renal patients."

USKRC is actively engaged in several other research projects, including the development of a waterless portable blood purifying device that could potentially replace current dialysis machines, an implantable artificial kidney, and a coating to prevent blood coagulation within medical device tubing and catheters. The company has solidified its position as a leader in renal therapy research, earning prestigious recognition as a two-time winner of the KidneyX contest, sponsored by the American Society of Nephrology and the US Department of Health and Human Services. Monetary awards for KidneyX were generously provided by the US Congress and the American Society of Nephrology.

About US Kidney Research Corporation:

US Kidney Research Corporation (formerly Curion Research Corporation), is an award-winning company incorporated in Delaware (C-Corp), founded in June, 2015. The company is creating the world's first waterless blood purification technology for use in a portable device and ultimately an implantable artificial kidney, as well as other novel technologies to improve the lives of patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD) or acute kidney injury (AKI). US Kidney Research Corporation has patents for its waterless blood purifying technology in USA, Japan, India, S. Korea, China, along with 17 European Unitary patent member countries.

Obeidy and Associates, P.A. Wins Discrimination Lawsuit Against Broward County Sherrif’s Office

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- Obeidy and Associates, P.A. (OBD Legal) announces that it recently represented Scott Thomas, Plaintiff, against the Broward County Sherrif's Office (BCSD), Defendant, and won the initial case as well as follow-up appeals.

Thomas, a military-trained helicopter pilot, initially retained OBD Legal to represent him in an employment dispute with the BCSD. The Plaintiff's primary complaint was discrimination that fell under the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act. A jury determined that BCSD was in violation of this act and awarded Thomas $240,000 in lost wages. The verdict form also asked whether the BCSD "willfully violated the law," and the jury answered, "Yes." Based on a statutory provision that awards double damages for willful violations, Thomas moved to alter the judgment.

The district judge decided that the jury finding on willfulness was "advisory" and denied Thomas's motion. The Eleventh Circuit also affirmed the denial of the sheriff's office's motion for judgment as a matter of law or a new trial and reversed the denial of Plaintiff's motion for an altered judgment.

The court held that there was sufficient evidence supporting the verdict against the sheriff's office. But the Court of Appeals reversed the denial of Plaintiff's motion to alter the judgment because the parties consented to have the jury decide the issue of willfulness. As a result, Thomas was awarded double damages.

The Defendant was represented by the law offices of Carmen Rodriguez, P.A., a management labor and employment law firm.

A. Andrew Obeidy, Esq., senior litigator, who represented Thomas in Federal District Court said that it was "the highlight of my career to represent this patriot who wore the cloth of our country."

David Pomeranz Discusses the Modern Science of Mental Health at Los Angeles Concert

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- At a concert at the Church of Scientology of the Valley community auditorium, legendary pop singer/songwriter Pomeranz introduced "Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health" to the Filipino community in Los Angeles, just as he did nearly 20 years ago in Manila.

Multiplatinum recording artist David Pomeranz performed at a private charity concert for Filipino-Americans at the Church of Scientology of the Valley community auditorium on Saturday, benefiting the Victory Life Foundation. The nearly two-hour set of many of his most beloved songs included "Got to Believe in Magic," "Born for You," and "King and Queen of Hearts."

From the stage, between performing his hit songs, Pomeranz shared his experience with "Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health" and how he used it to alleviate the anxiety and depression that typically come with a lifelong career in the music industry.

"I am so happy that you are here," he said. "And if you don't mind, I'm going to tell you from my heart that this book, 'Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health,' is something I've wanted to share with my L.A. Filipino friends for some time."

"The world pounds at you, right? Pound, pound, pound. Anxiety, depression everywhere - up down, up down. We are all experiencing it," he said. "'Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health' handles that."

Nearly 20 years ago, in April 2004, Pomeranz introduced Dianetics to the Philippines on a national scale with a tour that included personal appearances throughout metro Manila and Baguio, and interviews on national network television talk shows and regional radio. Dianetics became a national best-seller and a new Hubbard Dianetics Center was established in Manila, with Pomeranz performing at the grand opening.

"Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health," by author and humanitarian L. Ron Hubbard, lays out the discovery of the "reactive mind" - that part of the mind that is the source of unwanted emotions, irrational fears and psychosomatic illnesses (illnesses caused by the mind). And it provides techniques anyone can learn and use to become free of its debilitating effects.

"Because of the impact of David's 2004 Philippines tour, many people became interested in addressing their mental health issues in this new and far more effective way," says Robert Anderson, president of the Dianetics Center in Manila.

"Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health" is the best-selling book ever published on the human mind. Translated into 50 languages, including Tagalog, more than 22 million copies have been sold worldwide.

For more information on Dianetics, contact the nearest Scientology Church or Mission or visit the Dianetics website. Two films on the subject are also available on the Scientology Network: What is Dianetics? and The Dianetics of Grief.

Since its dedication in March 2017 by Scientology ecclesiastical leader Mr. David Miscavige, the Church of Scientology of the Valley has become a meeting ground of cooperative effort to uplift people of all walks of life, backgrounds and denominations.

The Church of Scientology of the Valley is spotlighted in an episode of Destination Scientology and David Pomeranz is featured in the original series Meet a Scientologist on the Scientology Network, available on DIRECTV Channel 320 and streaming at Scientology.tv, on mobile apps, and via the Roku, Amazon Fire and Apple TV platforms.

HousingWire honors TrustEngine Vice President Rachel Cunningham as a 2023 Women of Influence

ELLICOTT CITY, Md. /ScoopCloud/ -- TrustEngine™, a provider of data-driven homebuyer engagement and education solutions for lenders, today announced Vice President of Customer Success Rachel Cunningham has been named a HousingWire 2023 Women of Influence award honoree. The Women of Influence awards program recognizes the achievements of women who are shaping the U.S. housing economy.

Cunningham was recognized for making an outstanding impact on TrustEngine and its lender clients during her multi-year tenure leading customer success at the company. During the merger of Sales Boomerang and Mortgage Coach, now TrustEngine, Cunningham restructured customer success into three divisions to better serve clients under a unified brand.

As interest rates began to rise, Cunningham took proactive measures to both support lenders through a steep drop in volume as well as prevent client churn. Guided by empathy, Cunningham consulted with clients to optimize their service plans for the new market. Also, with many clients undergoing mergers and acquisitions themselves, Cunningham developed special procedures to support unique contractual changes and onboarding scenarios.

"Rachel has proven herself to be a highly adept leader who uplifts her team, organization and lenders at every turn," said TrustEngine CEO Richard Harris.

Share the Excitement at the Church of Scientology in the Capital of Cool

NEW YORK, N.Y. /ScoopCloud/ -- Join the staff and parishioners of the Church of Scientology and Community Center Harlem in a celebration of their July 31 anniversary. "Harlem - it's pretty much inside of me," says Phil, an executive at the Church of Scientology Harlem in Destination: Scientology - Harlem on the Scientology Network. He describes Harlem as "a very, very proud community."

"I feel I have a responsibility to give back what has been given to me," Phil says, "And the Church is here to bring hope. . . The Scientology Community Center was built from the ground up and it was supported by Scientologists all over the world, because they knew that Harlem was a very, very special place."

Here, in the very heart of Harlem on 125th Street, thousands gathered on the afternoon of July 31, 2016, to share the excitement when Scientology ecclesiastical leader Mr. David Miscavige dedicated the new facilities.

Phil loves that people can get together here to create a better community. "This is a solution that the African American culture has been looking for, for so long - to bring a new Harlem Renaissance right here in Harlem, right now."

Harlem embraces all cultures. And some say there is a Latin rhythm in the way the heart of Harlem beats. East Harlem is home to the Latin American diaspora, with communities from Mexico and across Central and South America and the Caribbean. And the Church and Community Center have forged an enduring connection with the Latin community as well.

But short of taking "the A Train," the New York City subway line to Harlem, made famous as the theme song of the legendary Duke Ellington, there's no better way to find out what makes this Church unique than by watching Destination: Scientology Harlem on the Scientology Network.

About Destination: Scientology

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.

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.

PETBAR Opens In Indian Trail, Just In Time For Dog Days Of Summer

INDIAN TRAIL, N.C. /ScoopCloud/ -- Many people cut their dogs hair to keep them cooler in the summer, but did you know that if you cut a dog's hair too short, he can get a sunburn? That's just one thing the professional groomers at Petbar pay attention to. The luxury pet grooming boutique will open its first Indian Trail location with a Grand Opening celebration from noon to 3 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 19, 2023. The new Petbar location is at 6437 Old Monroe Road, Suite D in Sun Valley Commons.

During the Grand Opening, all visitors - human and not - will enjoy snacks, treats and giveaways. There'll be cookies for the kids, mimosas for the adults, doggie treats for our four-legged friends and Petbar swag. Additionally, Petbar will waive the $100 membership initiation fee for the first 100 guests who sign up for a membership at the Indian Trail location through the Grand Opening event.

Petbar offers concierge-level pet grooming and washing with full and self-service available including state-of-the-art equipment and a clean, open-air environment. Membership plans are available that will help keep pets clean all month long for one low monthly price.

Cassandra and Julius Patterson are the franchisees who own this new Petbar. The animal lovers wanted to open a franchise that they cared about and that would benefit their community.

"One of the things we like about Petbar is that it doesn't cage animals or put them behind doors - everything is done in the open," said Cassandra Patterson. "We can't wait to share the Petbar experience - and our amazingly talented team of groomers - with the residents of Indian Trail."

The Pattersons plan to open two more Petbar locations in the area.

WHAT: Petbar Indian Trail Grand Opening Party

WHERE: Petbar, 6437 Old Monroe Road, Suite D in Sun Valley Commons

WHEN: Noon to 3 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 19, 2023

About Petbar:

When their schnauzer Bella's favorite groomer moved away, Dan and Ashley O'Loughlin decided to launch their own unique pet boutique. They opened the first petbar in 2015 in Dallas, Texas. The innovative concept offers self-service dog wash stations, full-service washing, and full-service grooming by experienced groomers - all in a bright and clean setting outfitted with professional equipment and high-end products. The O'Loughlins, who operate two Petbars in the Dallas area, began to franchise in 2020. There are currently twenty-three Petbars open, with 30+ more franchise locations slated to debut in the coming year across seven states.

Many people cut their dogs hair to keep them cooler in the summer, but did you know that if you cut a dog's hair too short, he can get a sunburn? That's just one thing the professional groomers at Petbar pay attention to. The luxury pet grooming boutique will open its first Indian Trail location with a Grand Opening celebration from noon to 3 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 19, 2023.

Seaside Consultants Offers Timeshare Exit Services to People in the U.S.

ENCINITAS, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- When they first sign up, a timeshare can feel like a dream to the person putting pen to paper. But as the reality of the cost sets in, it can start to look more like a nightmare. Fortunately, there's help. Seaside Consultants Group supports people in exploring their timeshare contract termination options.

With nearly a decade in business, the Group has maintained an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau (BBB). From their office in Encinitas, California, this team specializes in serving clients who signed contracts under pressure, were misinformed, and /or were misrepresented by representatives of the timeshare company. People who want to terminate their timeshare contract can potentially start the process by reaching out to Seaside Consultants.

The team first assigns a specialist to gather information about the specific timeshare in question, from documentation about the contract to details about the individual's interaction with representatives of the timeshare developer.

Then, the Seaside Consultants Group offers a free consultation. Based on a review of the consultation, analysts inform consumers whether their case was accepted.

Some of the reasons cases might be accepted are situations where the timeshare developer:

* Used high-pressure sales tactics.

* Misrepresented the timeshare (including telling the individual that it was an investment opportunity)

* Failed to fully disclose all the applicable costs (e.g., maintenance fees, special assessment fees)

* Failed to disclose the right of rescission.

* Failed to fully discuss the terms of the financing.

Once Seaside Consultants accepts a case, they assign an attorney to it who specializes in consumer protection laws regarding vacation ownership. The Group also extends a comprehensive credit protection program to its clients. This program is designed to protect consumers from potential credit dips during the timeshare exit process. The full process of exiting the timeshare usually takes around one to two years.

Individuals hoping to get out from under a timeshare can explore their options by contacting Seaside Consultants Group or visiting the company's website - https://www.seasideconsultants.com/ - to learn more.

About Seaside Consultants Group:

Advocating for consumers since 2014, Seaside Consultants Group has maintained an A+ rating with the BBB and a 100% client satisfaction rate as they help people explore exiting their timeshare obligations. The Group specializes in terminating timeshare contracts that were signed based on deceit, misinformation, misrepresentations, and/or high-pressure sales tactics.

Kona Village, A Rosewood Resort is First Hawaiian Hotel to Receive LEED v4 Gold Certification

KAILUA-KONA, Hawaii /ScoopCloud/ -- After a massive renovation of an iconic resort that prioritized resource conservation, sustainable operations, and care for local culture, Kona Village, A Rosewood Resort has received LEED Gold certification, sustainability consulting firm VCA Green announced today.

Global real estate investment company Kennedy Wilson (NYSE: KW) partnered with design firm Walker Warner Architects and Architect of Record Delawie following a devastating 2011 tsunami to transform the property's 81 acres into a premier Hawaiian resort.

The renovation was completed while staying true to original features, including a 150 guest hale spread across several village-like crescents, the Shipwreck Bar, and a petroglyph field, respecting archeologically significant sites or "kapu" while embracing an environmentally friendly design.

Sustainability consulting firm VCA Green is shepherding several of the resort's amenity spaces, including the Spa, Moana (the resort's main restaurant), and Employee Village, through the LEED v4 Building Design & Construction process and has secured Gold Certification for Moana. LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is the most widely used green building rating system in the world that promotes healthy, highly efficient, and cost-saving green buildings.

"LEED continues to provide a meaningful, global framework for advancing sustainability within real estate and helped to guide our sustainability strategy throughout our innovative redevelopment project," said Alex Spilger, Head of Global ESG at Kennedy Wilson. "We are very proud to celebrate our LEED Gold accomplishment at Kona Village."

Kona Village is a water-neutral site that utilizes native plants, ponds that help the island's natural biodiversity thrive, and a reverse-osmosis non-potable water irrigation system. Solar panels and battery storage are designed to subsidize 100% of the site's energy use, while the all-LED lighting design reduces light pollution. Bike facilities and on-site amenities promote employee and guest wellness as well as reduce reliance on fossil-fuel-burning cars to move from place to place. The intense attention to each detail of the site's materials, layout, and operations awarded each section of the property full points in several LEED categories.

To commemorate Kona Village's outstanding dedication to sustainability, U.S. Green Building Council President and CEO Peter Templeton held a plaque dedication ceremony at the resort on July 25, 2023.

"Kona Village's LEED certification demonstrates tremendous green building leadership. All over the world, the hospitality industry is recognizing that green building works and enhances a company's triple bottom line-people, planet, and profit," Templeton said. "By incorporating green building practices, hotels are raising the bar for the global market, positively impacting the quality of our built space by providing everyone with access to healthy, green, and high performing buildings. Kona Village is a prime example of how the innovative work of project teams can create local solutions that contribute to making a global difference."

LenderLogix Q2 2023 Homebuyer Intelligence Report Data Shows Slight Increase in Homebuying Activity Despite Affordability and Inventory Challenges

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 the latest release of the Homebuyer Intelligence Report, a quarterly summary of insights into borrower behavior during the home buying process based on data collected by the LenderLogix suite of tools. The latest report covers data collected during the pre-approval and borrower application process during the second quarter (Q2) of 2023.

Pre-Approvals

In Q2 2023, borrowers generated 58,927 pre-approval letters through LenderLogix's QuickQual pre-approval platform, an increase of nearly 11% over Q1. While the average number of borrower logins to QuickQual declined from 12 times in Q1 to 8 times in Q2, loan officers increased their number of pre-approved borrowers by 16% over the period to 28, up from 24 in Q2.

The average pre-approval letter loan amount in Q2 increased by 4% to $302,836 compared to Q1's average loan amount of $292,491. Additionally, the average sales price increased 5% from $334,022 in Q1 to $348,348 in Q2, resulting in an average down payment of roughly 13% versus 12.4% in Q1.

Conventional loans were again the most popular loan type for pre-approved borrowers, with its share remaining virtually unchanged at 71% versus 72% in Q1. Similarly, FHA pre-approval share remained steady at 22% versus 21% in Q1, as did VA (5%) and USDA share (1%).

"Increases in both pre-approval letters generated and average number of pre-approved borrowers per loan officer signal slight improvements in the homebuying market, which is an excellent sign for lenders struggling under recent market conditions," said LenderLogix Co-Founder and CEO Patrick O'Brien. "However, the rise in average sales price, loan amount and down payment indicate that it's only getting more expensive for borrowers to buy so lenders will need to equip themselves with the tools and resources necessary to make homebuying more affordable."

Borrower Conversion

Of the borrowers using QuickQual in Q2 2023, the average number of days between pre-approval and loan submission increased to 89.3 days, compared to 71 days in Q1. The most prolonged duration between pre-approval and application also increased from 622 days in Q1 to 994 days in Q2. The increased length between pre-approval and loan submission did not dissuade borrowers, as conversions from borrowers using QuickQual rose from 56% in Q1 to 58% in Q2, with those borrowers generating an average of 9 pre-approval letters before converting.

"Lack of inventory is certainly one of the main drivers behind the increase in time between when borrowers get pre-approved and when they submit a loan application, which only compounds the challenges facing today's buyers," O'Brien noted. "However, for the loan officers that remain diligent in their outreach to prospects and agents, that effort seemingly pays off. Thus, loan officers should adjust their expectations around the length of today's home search and increase communication during this time to optimize their conversion rate."

Data from the Homebuyer Intelligence Report is available to the industry free of charge. To learn more about LenderLogix, visit www.lenderlogix.com.

TrustEngine releases Q2 2023 Mortgage Market Opportunities Report

ELLICOTT CITY, Md. /ScoopCloud/ -- TrustEngine(TM), a provider of data-driven homebuyer engagement and education solutions for lenders, today announced the release of its latest Mortgage Market Opportunities Report analyzing trends in the frequency of different types of mortgage opportunity alerts through June 2023.

TrustEngine Chief Visionary Officer Alex Kutsishin summarized three top takeaways for mortgage lenders from this quarter's report::

* TODAY'S SELLERS ARE TOMORROW'S HOMEBUYERS

New Listing Alerts from existing mortgage customers jumped 26.23% quarter-over-quarter, signaling opportunity on the horizon for purchase-focused lenders at a time when the median existing-home sales price of $410,200 is within spitting-distance of its all-time high. But with housing inventory as tight as it is, where will these home sellers go? Real estate agents are in desperate need of lenders who can execute on strategies like these. Armed with TrustEngine's Mortgage Coach Advice Engine, loan officers can bring creative home financing options to life in visual presentations that speed borrower understanding and commitment.

* CONSUMERS ARE EAGER TO GET A HANDLE ON THEIR DEBTS

Risk and Retention Alerts are down for a second consecutive quarter, echoing a macroeconomic trend of decelerating credit card debt growth as consumers try to rein in average household credit card debt of over $5,000 and total household debt of more than $100,000. Cashing out home equity to pay off higher-interest debts remains one of today's most compelling use cases for a refinance - but do consumers still have equity to tap? While Equity Alerts fell in Q2 (down 67.79%), context is key. According to ATTOM, the overall portion of equity-rich homes (properties with loan balances less than or equal to 50% of their market value) is still about twice as high as it was three years ago, meaning almost half of homeowners still have considerable untapped wealth in their properties.

* RATES ARE LOOKING A LITTLE FRIENDLIER

While Rate Alerts and Rate-and-Term Alerts accounted for a relatively small fraction of total opportunities in Q2, their frequency increased significantly on a quarter-over-quarter basis as mortgage rates skirted just shy of 7% throughout Q2. After months of uncertainty in the analyst community, consensus opinion now calls for interest rates to drop back below 6% sometime next year - so the frequency of rate-related opportunity alerts should only continue to increase in the coming quarters.

"In a market this competitive, lenders can't afford a scattershot marketing strategy. They have to use data to zero in on the opportunities with the greatest chance of converting, and that's a moving target that changes month to month and quarter to quarter," said Kutsishin. "TrustEngine's Mortgage Market Opportunities Report shows lenders where to focus their customer outreach and salesforce skills training right now, and this quarter, there's an exciting opportunity to help existing homeowners - customers with whom lenders already have a relationship - who are putting themselves in the market for their next home."

Each quarter the Mortgage Market Opportunities Report identifies the market opportunities of relevance to U.S. lenders and borrowers based on alert data from more than 150 residential mortgage lenders. Much more detail on Q2's alert activity can be found in the full TrustEngine Mortgage Market Opportunities Report.

*Analysis provided for informational purposes only. The data represented in the Mortgage Market Opportunities report is historical. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results. TrustEngine accepts no responsibility or liability for readers' use of the key findings or analysis included in this report.

About TrustEngine:

More than 200 independent mortgage companies, credit unions, banks and brokers depend on TrustEngine's innovative solutions to unlock additional loan opportunities, increase conversion and strengthen customer loyalty through individualized, data-driven engagement and education. With Sales Boomerang's intelligent alerts, lenders always know when a past customer or prospect is ready and credit-qualified for a loan. Award-winning loan presentations from Mortgage Coach equip lenders to deliver a consultative home financing experience that encourages faster, more informed loan decisions. New in 2023, the TrustEngine Borrower Intelligence Platform (BIP) combines the best of both flagship products with world-class data analysis and segmentation, sophisticated probability and profitability modeling, intelligent loan pacing and routing, compelling borrower interactions, and ongoing performance evaluation and optimization. The result is a category-leading solution that enhances lenders' existing technology investments and puts data in the driver's seat of every customer engagement.

Is Ireland Failing to Help Those at Risk of Drug Abuse?

DUBLIN, Ireland /ScoopCloud/ -- National Affairs Office of the Church of Scientology in Dublin hosted an open discussion. A new community-based initiative emerged in view of the need for prevention among at-risk groups and communities.

According to the latest statistics from the Health Research Board, two people in Ireland die every day of drug-related causes, most of them of overdose. With 10,000 people treated for drug use in the last year alone and one of the highest rates of drug-related deaths in Europe, Ireland passed crisis point a long time ago.

So where do we go from here?

This was the topic of a recent open discussion held to mark International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking. The meeting was attended by volunteers, parents, community leaders and former addicts who gathered at the National Affairs Office of the Church of Scientology in Dublin.

Speakers highlighted that the bulk of the work done currently by agencies and community groups - whether harm reduction projects, support services or legislative changes - aim to come to grips with the constantly worsening scene by assisting active drug users and those who are addicted. But inadequate attention is given to prevention among the much larger at-risk groups.

As one participant put it, "Children are not born with the idea that they should take drugs, be it for fun or to overcome adversity. They get this idea at home, at school, in their community. One of the problems is that there is nobody to help them understand factually the effects of drugs, despite the real-life experiences so many of us have had. Drug education which leads to understanding, informed decisions and freedom of choice might not prevent everyone from taking drugs, but it certainly can save lives among at-risk groups."

Another shared his harrowing personal story of drug abuse, addiction and crime, which robbed him of 15 years of his life. "I am lucky to be alive today. I am eager to use my experience to help others in my community not to make the same mistakes I've made."

Another added, "To reach the young generation we need to reach the parents and the entire community."

Guests learned of the educational materials of the Truth About Drugs campaign. Initiated and supported internationally by the Church of Scientology, the campaign is in widespread use in most countries in the world today. It offers a complete multimedia kit, which aims to dispel misconceptions and empower youth and adults alike with the knowledge they need to make informed decisions about drugs.

All participants agreed that prevention through high-impact drug education is urgently needed for at-risk groups and in the community at large.

Those attending discussed forming a community-based Drugs Forum to oversee the execution of grassroots, independent projects along these lines. Such a forum is now planned to begin in September 2023.

The National Affairs Office of Dublin was dedicated in October 2016 by Scientology ecclesiastical leader Mr. David Miscavige, who also officiated at the opening of the Church of Scientology and Community Centre of Dublin the following year. To learn more about the activities of the Church of Scientology in Ireland, watch Destination: Scientology-Dublin on the Scientology Network.

The Scientology religion was founded by author and philosopher L. Ron Hubbard. The first Church of Scientology was formed in Los Angeles in 1954 and the religion has expanded to more than 11,000 Churches, Missions and affiliated groups, with millions of members in 167 countries.

Down Payment Resource Issues Q2 2023 Homeownership Program Index Report

ATLANTA, Ga. /ScoopCloud/ -- Down Payment Resource (DPR), the housing industry's leading technology for connecting homebuyers with homebuyer assistance programs, issued its Q2 2023 Homeownership Program Index (HPI). The firm's analysis revealed a second consecutive quarterly uptick of 0.5% in the number of homebuyer assistance programs available to help people finance homes, raising the number of programs to 2,373.

Key Findings

An examination of the 2,373 homebuyer assistance programs that were active as of July 3, 2023, resulted in the following key findings:

* Growth in programs that expand inventory options. In response to the dearth of affordable inventory, agencies continue to introduce programs that expand housing options for low-to-moderate income (LMI) home buyers. Last quarter, 24 more programs introduced support for manufactured housing, an increase of 3.4%. Additionally, three programs that support multi-family purchases were introduced, bringing the number of programs that support two- to four-unit residential properties to 650.

* Growth in the number of agencies administering programs. As affordability continues to challenge LMI home buyers, 45 more agencies have stepped up to administer homebuyer assistance programs, a 3.9% increase over the previous quarter. Now 1,323 agencies provide assistance to aspiring homeowners across the country.

* Municipalities administer the lion's share of homebuyer assistance programs. Municipalities support 42.2% of homebuyer assistance programs, roughly double the 21.8% of programs supported by state housing finance authorities (HFAs) and 21.0% of programs supported by nonprofits - the second and third largest source of homebuyer assistance, respectively.

"Marked growth in the number of agencies administering homebuyer assistance programs reflects how affordability challenges are driving demand for affordable pathways to homeownership," said DPR Founder and CEO Rob Chrane. "These emerging community champions play a vital role in making home homeownership more accessible to LMI households and marginalized demographics who have lower rates of homeownership."

"At the same time, agencies are responding to near historic low new listing figures by opening program support of manufactured and multifamily housing," continued Chrane. "This effectively expands inventory options for homebuyers that rely on these programs."

A more detailed analysis of the Q2 2023 HPI findings, including infographics and examples of many of the programs described in this release, can be found on DPR's website at: https://downpaymentresource.com/professional-resource/a-guide-to-q2-2023-homebuyer-assistance-program-trends/.

Methodology

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

The Church of Scientology Celebrates its Anniversary in One of California’s Premier Communities

PASADENA, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- In the heart of Old Town, just ten miles from downtown Los Angeles, the Church of Scientology Pasadena combines a love of the region's history with its commitment to ensuring a bright future for all.

Pasadena is an eclectic mix of old and new-with the California Institute of Technology and NASA Jet Propulsion Lab, world-class museums, trendy shops and eateries, and a climate that inspires the annual New Year's Day Tournament of Roses.

An episode of Destination: Scientology on the Scientology Network shows how the Church restored its new home, dedicated in July 2010 by Scientology ecclesiastical leader Mr. David Miscavige. The registered historic landmark, known as the Braley Building, was an iconic bicycle emporium. It was built in 1906, two years before Henry Ford introduced America to his Model-T, and not long after The New York Times described the bicycle as "a splendid extension of personal power and freedom, scarcely inferior to what wings would give." The Church, with its meticulous care to preserve all elements of the building's distinctive architecture, earned the city's Historic Preservation Award.

In dedicating the Church, Mr. Miscavige reminded Pasadena Church staff and parishioners, "You are now part of a movement like nothing in our history. And it is gaining momentum by the day. ... There is indeed a lot of help we must now bring to bear. That is the pledge we make today, to the city of Pasadena."

Taking this to heart, the Church works in close coordination with officials, community groups and religious leaders to address vital social issues.

Take a tour of the Church, meet some of its staff and parishioners, and see what makes them a valued partner in the Pasadena of today and tomorrow.

Watch Destination: Scientology - Pasadena on the Scientology Network.

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.

Capital Ford Rocky Mount Tornado Relief Program

RALEIGH, N.C. /ScoopCloud/ -- Capital Ford Rocky Mount announced today that the dealership has created a Tornado Relief Program to assist the community in rebuilding after a tornado touched down on Wednesday.

The EF-3 tornado touched down near Rocky Mount on Wednesday around 12:30 pm bringing with it winds of up to 150 mph and creating widespread destruction. Pfizer, who is a main employer in the town, experienced a great deal of damage when its roof was torn off and the majority of the building was destroyed.

In effort to help the community through the grueling process of rebuilding, Capital Ford of Rocky Mount has created the following relief program for those that may have had a vehicle damaged during the storm:

* An extra $1,000 off any new or used vehicle

* No payments for 90 days on any new Ford

* Carolina Collision Center will waive the insurance deductible for repairs for employees of the Pfizer plant and will also help expedite body repairs for any resident of the area

Although this will be a challenging time for the small community, Capital Ford Rocky Mount is hoping this program will help those who need it most. In order to take advantage of this program, all most people will need to have will be the authorized insurance claim form indicating the damage and those that work for Pfizer will also need proof of employment.
