Legacy Launch Pad Publishing Brings Award-Winning Business Book by Victor Orlovski and Vladimir Korovkin to United States

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Legacy Launch Pad Publishing is releasing an updated edition of "From Rhino to Unicorn: How Fortune 500 Companies Can Evolve for the Digital Era" (ISBN: 978-1951407995), an award-winning business book co-authored by Victor Orlovski and Vladimir Korovkin.

The book is the result of a collaboration between Orlovski, General Partner at venture fund Fort Ross Ventures, and Korovkin, the Head of Digital Research at the Institute for Emerging Markets at SKOLKOVO Business School. Between them, the co-authors boast more than a decade of experience as chief officers at major Russian banks, including Sberbank, Alfa-Bank and Poidem Bank, with shared specializations in innovation and digital technology.

In From Rhino to Unicorn, Orlovski and Korovkin combine academic research, insights gleaned from hundreds of business case studies and their own firsthand experience in finance and venture capital to argue for a new theory of digital disruption. In their view, innovative venture-backed "unicorns" threaten legacy "rhino" companies in nearly all sectors with extinction-unless the latter can learn to reinvent themselves from the ground up.

The book won PwC's Business Book of the Year award in 2021, and the updated edition includes a foreword by Brett King, international bestselling author of "Bank 4.0" and "The Rise of Technosocialism."

"From Rhino to Unicorn is a fascinating book written by a team of world-class visionaries," King writes.

"With their experience, there is no one more qualified to write a book like 'From Rhino to Unicorn' than Victor and Vladimir," says publisher Anna David. "The two of them paint a complete and nuanced picture of digital disruption in a way that is both funny and insightful-and with action steps for transformation for companies of all kinds."

For industry leaders looking for ways to keep up with the rapid pace of industry-wide digital disruption, or for business students seeking a deeper understanding of the battles taking place in today's venture-backed corporate landscape, From Rhino to Unicorn is indispensable reading.

"From Rhino to Unicorn: How Fortune 500 Companies Can Evolve for the Digital Era" is available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble, among many other outlets.

Sales Boomerang releases Q4 2021 Mortgage Market Opportunities Report

WASHINGTON, D.C. /ScoopCloud/ -- Sales Boomerang, the mortgage industry's top-rated automated borrower intelligence and retention system, today released its latest Mortgage Market Opportunities Report. The Q4 2021 report identified increasing opportunities for mortgage lenders to assist borrowers with tappable home equity, lending credence to analysts' expectations for a surge in home-equity-related mortgage activity in 2022.

Methodology

The Mortgage Market Opportunities Report draws on Sales Boomerang system data to identify market opportunities of relevance to today's borrowers and lenders. To generate the report, Sales Boomerang reviewed data from more than 160 residential mortgage lenders that use its borrower intelligence and retention tools to monitor millions of customer and prospect records. Sales Boomerang then calculated and compared the aggregate frequency with which those contact records triggered loan-opportunity, prescriptive-scenario and risk-and-retention alerts during the third and fourth quarters of 2021.

Key Findings*

Sales Boomerang's loan-opportunity alerts identify the contacts inside a lender's database who are actively shopping for a mortgage loan or who may be able to benefit from a new mortgage loan. Across the sample group, the frequency of each alert type in Q4 2021 was as follows:

* Mortgage Inquiry Alert: 4.42% of monitored contacts (down 16.13% from Q3)

A customer or prospect has shopped with a competitor in the last 24 hours.

* EPO Alert: 1.84% of monitored contacts (down 17.49% from Q3)

A customer or prospect whose loan closed ≤ 6 months ago has shopped with a competitor in the last 24 hours.

* Credit Improvement Alert: 1.14% of monitored contacts (down 13.64% from Q3)

A customer or prospect has improved their FICO score.

* New Listing Alert: 0.64% of monitored contacts (down 38.46% from Q3)

A customer or prospect has listed their home for sale.

* Equity Alert: 8.61% of monitored contacts (up 7.36% from Q3)

A customer or prospect's home equity has increased.

* Rate Alert: 5.07% of monitored contacts (down 27.16% from Q3)

The interest rate of a customer or prospect's existing mortgage is significantly higher than current prevailing rates.

Sales Boomerang's prescriptive-scenario alerts analyze not only whether a consumer could benefit from a given loan type, but also whether the consumer is credit-qualified to apply for financing. This additional layer of intelligence makes prescriptive-scenario alerts among the highest-converting available to mortgage lenders today. The frequency of each alert during Q4 2021 was as follows:

* Cash-Out Alert: 5.08% of monitored contacts (up 17.87% from Q3)

A borrower is credit qualified and has built sufficient equity to tap into the cash in their home.

* Rate-and-Term Alert: 10.05% of monitored contacts (up 160.36% from Q3)

A borrower is credit qualified and can benefit from the current interest rates for a refinance.

* Debt Alert: 1.33% of monitored contacts (down 23.12% from Q3)

A borrower is credit qualified and can benefit from paying off other debts with the equity in their home.

* FHA MI Removal Alert: 14.01% of monitored contacts (up 92.71% from Q3)

An FHA borrower has exceeded 20% equity and can remove mortgage insurance (MI).

For a subset of lenders that maintain servicing portfolios, the frequency of risk-and-retention alerts was as follows:

* Risk & Retention Alert: 31.18% of monitored contacts (down 13.82% from Q3)

A customer is engaging in one or more of 15 credit activities that may put their serviced loan at risk

Analysis*

* When a borrower puts less than 20% down on an FHA-insured loan, they are required to pay mortgage insurance (MI) premiums on top of their monthly principal and interest payments. FHA borrowers with MI may be unaware they have the option to remove their MI once they reach 20% equity. With a nearly 93% quarter-over-quarter increase in FHA MI Removal alerts, lenders have the opportunity to deliver immediate monthly savings to borrowers.

* Since Sales Boomerang's Cash-Out alerts only trigger for credit-qualified contacts, continued gains in this alert category show that borrowers are growing their credit scores alongside their equity. Lenders should prepare for continued cash-out refinance and HELOC activity in the coming months.

* Keen observers will notice that the Rate and Rate-and-Term alerts trended in opposite directions from Q3 to Q4. Following a year of interest rate growth, fewer consumers are positioned to benefit from a refinance solely based on the difference between their current interest rate and prevailing market rates - thus, the decline in Rate alerts. But a higher frequency of Rate-and-Term alerts indicates that even if the overall refi market is down, there's a growing subset of consumers who have the home equity and credit profiles necessary to benefit from a refinance.

* Mortgage Inquiry and EPO alerts declined for a third consecutive quarter, and New Listings were down for a second quarter in a row. With fewer consumers actively putting themselves in the market for mortgage products, lenders will need to be proactive in bringing financially advantageous opportunities to potential customers.

* Q4's 14% drop in Risk & Retention alerts was the category's first significant decline in 2021. Nonetheless, with nearly one in three borrowers still exhibiting risky credit behaviors, mortgage servicers should keep a close eye on their portfolios for default risk.

"Borrowers aren't always aware of the multitude of ways they can leverage their home equity, yet it's becoming increasingly clear that equity is creating some of the best financial opportunities for borrowers and lenders today. It is up to us to help mortgage advisors bring these opportunities to the table for their customers," said Sales Boomerang CEO Alex Kutsishin. "Experts may have predicted 2022 would be a year to focus on purchase transactions, but our data shows lenders would be well-served to shine equal light on home-equity lending."

*Key findings and 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. Sales Boomerang accepts no responsibility or liability for readers' use of the key findings or analysis included in this report.

About Sales Boomerang:

Sales Boomerang transformed the relationship between mortgage lenders and borrowers with the introduction of the first automated borrower intelligence system in 2017. The company's intelligent alerts notify lenders as soon as a past customer or prospect is ready and credit-qualified for a loan. As the mortgage industry's #1 borrower retention tool, Sales Boomerang is trusted by more than 150 lenders - including brokers, independent mortgage companies, credit unions and banks - to help build lasting borrower relationships that maximize lifetime customer value. To date, Sales Boomerang alerts have enabled lenders to close more than $150 billion in additional loan volume that would have otherwise been overlooked and achieve customer retention rates that outperform industry norms by an average of 3-5X.

Legacy Launch Pad Publishing Releases Book Addressing Ketogenic Bodybuilding by Robert Sikes

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Legacy Launch Pad Publishing is releasing "Ketogenic Bodybuilding: A Natural Athlete's Guide to Competitive Savagery" (ISBN: 978-1956955071), the first book by Robert Sikes.

The book is the result of Sikes' experiences as a professional bodybuilder and fitness coach, specifically his transition from carbohydrate-based training protocols to ketogenic ones, and its resultant performance benefits.

While Sikes was always interested in competitive bodybuilding, the "bro dieting" approach based on junk calories, extreme caloric deficits and carbohydrates resulted in disastrous side effects. Despite his athletic success, Sikes experienced hormone imbalances, lowered sex drive, diminished strength and disordered eating.

After discovering the ketogenic diet, Sikes' health issues cleared, his athletic performance improved and his relationships flourished. As a result of his experiences, he has become an outspoken advocate for athletes and bodybuilders following ketogenic diets, stressing that they can find great success and sustainability in the complete absence of carbohydrates.

According to Dominic D'Agostino, PhD, associate professor of molecular pharmacology and physiology at USF Morsani College of Medicine and leading ketogenic expert, Ketogenic Bodybuilding is "a beacon of light" to the fitness community. Similar praise came from Shawn Wells, a biochemist, dietitian and author of the The ENERGY Formula: Six Life Changing Ingredients to Unleash Your Limitless Potential: "Never before has there been an exhaustive and authoritative ketogenic bodybuilding guide like this."

"Ketogenic Bodybuilding is an amazing resource for athletes and bodybuilders," says publisher Anna David, "but Robert's harrowing personal stories set it apart from any other book in its category."

Without a doubt, Ketogenic Bodybuilding is the definitive guide to a new paradigm in bodybuilding and, with its piercing insights and comprehensive competition strategies, is sure to ruffle more than a few feathers.

"Ketogenic Bodybuilding: A Natural Athlete's Guide to Competitive Savagery? is available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble, among many other outlets.

Want a Sparkling Valentine’s Day? Follow These Six Jewelry Buying Tips

LAS VEGAS, Nev. /ScoopCloud/ -- Whether you are staying at home this Valentine's Day, or plan to have a romantic evening out, the American Gem Society (AGS), a nonprofit association dedicated to consumer protection, has some advice to ensure the jewelry you buy adds extra sparkle to you and your loved one's celebration.

1. Have a general idea of the kind of jewelry you want to buy? If it's a gift, what does the recipient like? Consider the type and color of metal, the gemstone, setting, as well as the type of piece. Would this person want a watch, bracelet, necklace, or ring?

2. Shop with a credentialed, professional jeweler who is a member of an organization with a strict code of business ethics, such as AGS. An ethical and knowledgeable jeweler will share facts about the gemstone in your jewelry, like whether it is enhanced or treated, natural, or a laboratory-created gemstone.

3. Do your research online but visit the store so you can see the piece in person. You might love the way something looks on the screen, but when you see it up close, you may feel differently. Maybe it's the color or sheen of the metal or how the setting looks. Get an up-close look before making a significant purchase.

4. Ask about the return policy. If the gift misses the mark, you'll want to return it!

5. If a discount seems too good to be true, it might be. You've heard of the practice where a retailer inflates a price by a certain percent, then advertises it at a slightly lesser percent? AGS members must adhere to standards of business conduct that strictly prohibit this practice.

6. Buying diamonds? Ask for a diamond grading report from an independent laboratory. A thorough grading report covers all 4Cs-cut, color, clarity, and carat-so that the jewelry buyers know and understand the quality of what they are purchasing. AGS founded AGS Laboratories as a nonprofit diamond grading laboratory that shares its mission of consumer protection. This mission ensures jewelry buyers will receive an unbiased opinion on the quality of their diamonds.

-- Well-cut diamonds sparkle in candlelight or low light. Set the mood with the right lighting and watch the diamond sparkle on your loved one.

About American Gem Society

The American Gem Society, founded in 1934 by Robert M. Shipley, is a nonprofit trade association dedicated to proven ethics, knowledge, and consumer protection within the jewelry industry.

On Holocaust Remembrance Day Let Us Honor Those Who Risked Their Lives to Save Others

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Each year, the United Nations sets aside January 27 as International Holocaust Remembrance Day. This day marks the liberation in 1945 of the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camps where between 1.1 and 1.5 million people died, most of them Jews. But while we remember those who perished in the Holocaust, let us also honor those who put their own lives on the line to rescue thousands destined for that fate.

Scientology Network's "Documentary Showcase" features two films that pay tribute to unsung heroes who saved thousands from dying in Nazi death camps.

:: "Nicky's Family"

Now dubbed "Britain's Schindler," Sir Nicholas "Nicky" Winton saw children facing certain death at the hands of the Nazi regime on the eve of World War II in 1939. Winton bravely stood up against the Germans to save the lives of more than 600 children who were destined for concentration camps.

He not only brought them out of Czechoslovakia, he also had them conducted across Hitler's Germany and secured their safety in Great Britain. Winton kept his heroic exploits secret from everyone: historians, journalists-even his wife-for nearly 50 years. His story finally came to light when the BBC televised a show surprising Winton by reuniting him with 100 adults-all of whom were among the children he had rescued 50 years earlier.

Emmy Award-winning director Matej Mináč of Slovakia included dramatic reenactments and never-before-seen archival footage, as well as emotional interviews with those rescued. Mináč has received multiple awards for "Nicky's Family," including Best Documentary from the Montreal World Film Festival.

:: "The Rescuers"

A young Rwandan antigenocide activist and a renowned Holocaust historian teamed up to travel across 15 countries and three continents, interviewing survivors and descendants of 13 diplomats who helped rescue tens of thousands of Jewish people from Nazi death camps during World War II.

Award-winning filmmaker Michael W. King documented their travels and discussions, bringing to the world this story of heroism and delivering a testament to the ways in which human beings can rise above forces of evil, even in the face of dire consequences.

King has been making films for more than two decades, winning an Emmy for a PBS documentary on youth violence in 1999. He has served as a member of the board of the International Documentary Association and is an active member of the Directors Guild of America.

"The Rescuers" has won 30 film festival awards, including multiple Best Documentary and Best Historical Documentary awards. The film was further honored as Best of the Best at the Palm Beach International Film Festival and was an Official Selection at the NAACP Image Awards. The film was also screened at a United Nations Conference and, at the request of the U.S. State Department, King has helped promote the film abroad.

Fundamental to Scientology is a humanitarian mission that extends to some 200 nations with programs for human rights, human decency, literacy, morality, drug prevention and disaster relief. For this reason, Scientology Network's "Documentary Showcase" debuts films from award-winning independent filmmakers whose goal is to improve society by raising awareness of social, cultural and environmental issues.

Since launching with a special episode featuring Scientology ecclesiastical leader Mr. David Miscavige, Scientology Network has been viewed in 240 countries and territories worldwide 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 and can be streamed on Scientology.tv, mobile apps and via the Roku, Amazon Fire and Apple TV platforms.

The War Between Russia and The West Over Ukraine Comes in A New War Drama Now on Amazon Prime

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- GI-Films announces: What is really going on in Eastern Europe between Russia and Ukraine is the subject of a new movie "The Narrow Bridge" just released on Amazon Prime. Written and produced by Mirza Davitaia, and produced by GI-Films, "The Narrow Bridge" is about a young artist who must take up arms to defend Ukraine.

Tensions between the West and Russia are at their highest since the peak of the Cold War and the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962. The Russian troop build-up near the Ukrainian border as part of Vladimir Putin's desire to regain control of Ukraine are spurring fears that Moscow could launch an invasion.

"This is the story of a young talented artist named Kiril, who's destiny persistently puts a weapon in his hand instead of a brush, demanding that he abandon his art and take up arms," explains Davitaia. "There is a war in his homeland, invaders are brutally interfering in the peaceful life of his country."

The movie was shot on location near Kyiv by Ukrainian director Boris Kvashnev. Stars Roman Matsyuta, Zaza Chanturya, Svetlana Zelenkovskaya and Borys Heorhievskiy.

Davitaia is known for his previous war drama "5 Days of War," directed by Renny Harlin and starring Val Kilmer, Andy Garcia and Rupert Friend.

Netcube Achieves World’s First Multi-Slice Application Service Architecture Proven on Commercial Grade 5G System

SEOUL, Korea /ScoopCloud/ -- Netcube, Inc., a Korea-based leading telecom software company just announced that the company has achieved a significant milestone towards a 5G-led business for a 5G ecosystem. It's successfully proved its network slicing application enabler platform on a commercial-grade 5G system.

The achievement was part of the "5G Convergence Service Field Test Project" funded by the Ministry of Science and Information and Communication Technology (ICT) of Korea. And, the implementation was officially proven by the Telecommunication Technology Association (TTA) at the "National 5G Convergence Testbed" facility operated by National Information Society Agency (NIA) of Korea. The facility is equipped with carrier-grade Samsung 5G SA access and core system.

Dong-ho Yu, CEO of Netcube, said, "Network slicing technology is a fundamental feature for a 5G ecosystem, but it seems to have remained a rather conceptual ideal for a long time."

Yu attributes this to a lack of service attaching technology with vertical industries and their applications.

"The goal of this development was to suggest a network slicing-based business model for 5G converged ecosystem participants and to offer practical level enabling solutions for CSPs, vertical industries and users," he says.

Sung-Uk Rha, director of Future Network Center at NIA, said that, "Korea was the first country to commercialize 5G networks successfully, and this world-first demonstration of Netcube's original network slicing technology shows an example of the country's continued innovation."

In addition to this milestone, in 2021, Netcube achieved another notable accomplishment during its participation in the "5G Government Network Pilot Project" which was to develop and prove the industry's first 3GPP compliant "Secondary Authentication" system. This helps governments and enterprises to identify and authorize 5G-based private network access from commercial 5G networks.

For more information, visit: https://www.netcube.com or email: global@netcube.com.

About Netcube, Inc.

Established in 2003, Netcube is a telecommunications software company based in Seoul, Korea. The company is committed to helping various vertical industries embrace 5G with the convergence of their data network environments and supporting enterprises, governments and individual developers to effectively deploy and operate 5G-converged services.

Netcube cooperates with MNOs, manufacturers and integrators to enhance the mobile network ecosystem in transforming 5G NSA into SA, building 5G private network and architecting and deploying 5G-based workplace networks for enterprises and public sector.

How One Man is Helping Youth Avoid the Tragedy of Human Trafficking

TAMPA, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- January is Human Trafficking Prevention Month and the Scientology Network invites viewers to watch an episode of "Voices for Humanity" featuring a Tampa Bay Area entrepreneur who is dedicated to saving kids from modern-day slavery.

The U.S. Department of Justice estimates that 200,000 American children are at risk of being trafficked into the sex industry each year,

Christopher King, fashion designer, U.S Marine veteran and grandson of blues legend BB King, founded the nonprofit The Gentlemen's Course to save kids from human trafficking and any form of human rights abuse and to provide them with the moral compass and social skills they need to thrive.

Florida is the third-busiest hub for child sex trafficking in the United States.

"We're talking about kids being sold, traded, forced against their own will," says King in his episode of "Voices for Humanity." "No one should be a slave, and no one has the right to enslave anyone."

King learned of Youth for Human Rights International on a visit to the United for Human Rights headquarters in Clearwater, Florida. "That gave me a guide on how to educate youth. At that point, I founded The Gentlemen's Course."

King and his team bring his programs right to the kids.

"Human traffickers, they're in the schools. They're on social media. They're getting the kids on their platforms," says King. "So we might as well attack them on the same ground. If people knew their rights, they would know what to defend. That is the purpose. That's our goal."

Youth for Human Rights International materials help people of all ages understand the 30 rights enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Creating a world where human rights are known and protected starts with effective educational programs that reach across all cultural and geographic boundaries.

Inspired by Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard's words that "Human rights must be made a fact, not an idealistic dream," the Church of Scientology and Scientologists support Youth for Human Rights and make its educational materials available free of charge. Watch a documentary on the history and activities of Youth for Human Rights International on "Voices for Humanity" on the Scientology Network.

Since launching with a special episode featuring Scientology ecclesiastical leader Mr. David Miscavige, Scientology Network has been viewed in 240 countries and territories worldwide 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 and can be streamed on Scientology.tv, mobile apps and via the Roku, Amazon Fire and Apple TV platforms.

Who Is Coffee Launches Online Specialty Coffee Store That Provides Spotlight and Fair Pay to Colombian Coffee Farmers

NEW YORK, N.Y. /ScoopCloud/ -- Who Is Coffee, Inc., a transparent and direct trade coffee company, announced the launch of an online specialty coffee store that puts the emphasis on the stories of Colombian coffee farmers. Colombian specialty coffee is available for shipping directly to consumers in whole bean or ground coffee in aesthetic packages that prominently display the face and name of the coffee farmer that grew and processed the specialty coffee. The artwork on the coffee packages has been designed by a Colombian artist from the coffee regions.

Unlike other coffee companies, Who Is Coffee introduces the consumer to the coffee farmer in a bid to bring more transparency to the coffee industry. That is also why Who Is Coffee has a business model designed to pay the farmers the fair rates they deserve, compensating them substantially above market price. Who Is Coffee tackles the financial, ethical and environmental issues caused by the major coffee players, by redefining the coffee supply chain at a more human level.

Who Is Coffee's online store features three Colombian coffee farmers with captivating stories: Ana María, José David and Alejandro.

Ana María (https://whoiscoffee.com/pages/finca-villa-libia) is a young Colombian woman, who, against all odds, misogyny and external pressure, held on to her grandfather's farm when he passed away and decided to become a coffee farmer.

José David (https://whoiscoffee.com/pages/finca-cr) grew up on farms mired in violence: he would find dead bodies on his farm every other month. Now he runs a coffee farm in Medellín, where he produces specialty coffee while also providing a cultural point for tourists to learn about the history of coffee in Colombia.

Alejandro (https://whoiscoffee.com/pages/finca-alto-bonito), an engineer, gave up on his dream of moving to Europe because he fell in love with his coffee farm, showing resilience and a duty to protect his family legacy.

Who Is Coffee ensures traceability of its coffee through its participation in every part of the supply chain. "We personally visit the coffee farms, actively participate in the processing of the coffee, accompany the export/import of the beans, assist with the roasting and contribute to the fulfillment of coffee orders," says Lucas Webb, Co-Founder.

Down Payment Resource releases Q4 2021 Homeownership Program Index

ATLANTA, Ga. /ScoopCloud/ -- Down Payment Resource (DPR), the nationwide database for U.S. homebuyer assistance programs, today announced the release of its latest Homeownership Program Index (HPI). The firm's analysis of 2,192 homebuyer assistance programs in its DOWN PAYMENT RESOURCE® database showed measurable quarter-over-quarter gains in program funding levels and an increased prevalence of programs aimed at assisting community heroes.

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 1,200 program administrators 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 and affordable first mortgages, in the DOWN PAYMENT RESOURCE® database.

Key Findings

The Q4 2021 HPI examined a total of 2,192 homebuyer assistance programs that were active as of January 6, 2022. Key findings are as follows.

* Funding levels are on the rise. 84% of programs had funds available for eligible homebuyers. That level of funding reflects a nearly 2% increase from Q3 2021.

* More programs now target community heroes. Nearly 9% of all homebuyer assistance programs available in Q4 benefit teachers, first responders, law enforcement officers, firefighters, healthcare workers and other providers of critical community services. Another 11% of programs offer benefits for veterans, members of the military and surviving spouses.

* Three out of four programs (73%) focus on helping homebuyers with down payments and/or closing costs. This figure includes repayable, partially forgivable and fully forgivable programs. Other major categories of assistance include affordable first mortgage programs (11%), Mortgage Credit Certificates (5%), matched savings programs and Housing Choice Vouchers.

* Assistance is available for repeat homebuyers and landlords. Approximately 38% of programs do not have a first-time homebuyer requirement. In addition, 27% of programs allow buyers to purchase a multi-family property as long as the buyer occupies one of the units.

* Availability varies by location. Three out of four (74%) programs are targeted to properties in specific locales such as cities, counties or neighborhoods, with the balance of programs available statewide through state housing finance agencies. The states with the most homebuyer assistance programs are California, Florida and Texas.

* Support for manufactured housing is increasing. While homebuyer assistance programs have historically favored site-built homes, as of Q4, 28% of programs allow manufactured housing as an eligible property type, up nearly 2% from the previous quarter.

"First responders, military, educators and other community service roles have been front and center for their extraordinary pandemic contributions," said DPR CEO Rob Chrane. "Many locales - especially in higher-cost markets - are determined to find creative ways to recruit and retain these workers, including by helping them make homeownership more affordable."

Further analysis of the Q4 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/homeownership-program-index-highlights-programs-for-community-heroes/.

IDS expands mortgage eClosing platform with addition of eVault

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah /ScoopCloud/ -- Mortgage document preparation vendor International Document Services, Inc. (IDS), announced today that it has released its eVault, expanding the capabilities of its eClosing platform, Solitude Solution. With the addition of the eVault to Solitude Solution, lenders now have the ability to deliver documents, including eNotes, to partners though Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, Inc. (MERS) eRegistry.

The IDS eVault is approved by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and includes secure eDelivery and eTransfer functionality for digital mortgage documents, allowing lenders to quickly and easily register eNotes with MERS. Prior its release, the eVault underwent a beta testing phase, during which IDS collected feedback on the product.

"As the mortgage industry continues to progress to a completely digital experience, IDS proudly delivers in-demand innovative eClosing technology backed by our industry-leading customer service support," said IDS Vice President and General Manager Mark Mackey. "Our eVault has undergone rigorous testing and a successful beta testing phase, ensuring it meets the high standards our clients have come to expect of every IDS product. We look forward to helping more lenders expand their eClosing and digital mortgage offerings with our expansive eClosing platform, Solitude Solution."

Solitude Solution includes a single sign-on function with multi-factor authentication, allowing lenders to create one login credential linked to the entire eClosing process.

This allows the lender to begin the processes of registering the eNote with MERS, sending the eNote to parties such as the master services via eDelivery and transferring the ownership of the eNote via eTransfer.

"Our customer support team is well-prepared to support our clients as they proceed with the eVault," said David Clement, Director of Operations. "We have a committee in place to ensure our team has the necessary training to fully support eVault operations and setup, and to work with any unexpected client needs and requests that may arise.

For International Day of Education, Scientology Network Shares Help to Overcome Learning Disabilities

MIAMI, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- Each year, the United Nations sets aside January 24 as International Day of Education. Among this year's goals: "unlocking the potential in every person." The episode "Help for Miami," of the "Voices for Humanity" series on the Scientology Network takes viewers inside an innovative program that is shattering the glass ceiling for those labeled with learning disabilities.

"Our country is in crisis today," says Tamara Batalha, cofounder and administrator of HELP Miami.

"Kids are being labeled and drugged. They're not learning," adds HELP Miami's principal Barbie Rivera. "This is a tragedy."

Together, they are introducing kids to a new way of learning.

"Families thought the only solution was to drug their child and now they don't have to anymore," says Batalha. "The beauty of our program is we treat every child as an individual, so no matter where they are on their educational level, we're able to work with them."

HELP Miami is a dynamic program using Study Technology developed by author, humanitarian and Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard. It provides a fully workable approach to teaching students how to learn.

One mother relates that her son was getting "F" in subject after subject at the school where he attended 5th grade. They were advised to place him on medication, but that caused side effects. "He told me he hated school. He wanted to drop out." When they enrolled him at HELP Miami, everything changed. "They brought him up to grade level," the mother said. "Now he's in 8th grade and every single year, he's gotten honor roll. Being able to learn how to learn, this is an incredible gift that HELP Miami is giving these kids."

Go behind the scenes of this innovative school that is providing a bright future for kids who were told they would never have one.

Scientology Network's "Voices for Humanity," is a weekly series presenting heroic changemakers from a variety of faiths, cultures and nations, working to uplift their communities.

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

KROST Posts Record Year of M&A Advisory in 2021, Expects Trend to Continue in 2022

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- KROST CPAs and Consultants reported a record year of M&A advisory work in 2021 and expects to remain equally busy in 2022. "We were involved in 21 buy-side and sell-side transactions in 2021," said Paren Knadjian, Head of M&A and Capital Markets at KROST.

"Most of the time as the exclusive financial advisor. We have also delivered a record number of due diligence reports, including Quality of Earnings reports, which we produce with our colleagues in the Audit department," Knadjian added.

KROST provides M&A expertise in valuation, deal negotiation, structuring, and financing, plus advice on the tax, accounting, and wealth management consequences of a transaction. "We provide both buy-side and sell-side advisory, and because we have experience in over 300 transactions, we know what current market acceptability is, and what is outside the scope of a transaction, depending on its size, industry, and structure. Outside of legal work, we can advise on virtually all aspects of an M&A transaction."

KROST led multiple $100+ million deals and worked in 6 different industries in 2021. Along with experts in Tax, Accounting and A&A practice areas, KROST has specialists in multiple industries including Healthcare, Manufacturing, Technology, Financial Services, and Entertainment.

KROST was also the exclusive financial advisor in the sale of Integrity Bio to Curia. "We would like to thank the KROST team -they were invaluable in this transaction, and we relied on them enormously," said Michael Reilly, CEO of Integrity Bio.

"We expect to be as busy, if not busier, on M&A activities in 2022 as the dry-powder availability of Private Equity money, the accessibility and low cost of debt, for leveraged buy-outs, and the retirement/succession plans of the Baby Boomer generation, continue to be driving forces in deal-making in the current environment," said Jason Melillo, CEO of KROST.

Dr. Jerrold B. Leikin Wins Harm Reduction Award Presented by the GPF Foundation

LAKE FOREST, Ill. /ScoopCloud/ -- For his work in medical toxicology, public health and medical education, Dr. Jerrold B. Leikin is the most recent winner of the Harm Reduction Award presented by the GPF Foundation (GPFF), a not-for-profit based in Lake Forest, Illinois that is dedicated to saving lives through awareness about the dangers and risks of recreational drugs.

The award was presented by Michael G. Nerheim, former States Attorney for Lake County (IL) and the 2020 recipient of the GPFF Harm Reduction Award. This month the Illinois Supreme Court appointed him to be a judge in the 19th Judicial Circuit, Second Subcircuit.

In presenting the award, Nerheim said of Dr. Leikin: "Your passion for preventative medicine and education allows people who may find themselves endangered from recreational drugs to avoid harm and helps guide medical professionals in providing critical diagnoses and treatment."

"We know our efforts can only realize their full potential when people can put awareness into action," Nerheim said. "Jerry, you have accomplished this."

Currently, Dr. Leikin is a Clinical Professor of Medicine at Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine & Science in North Chicago, IL, and Adjunct Clinical Professor in the Division of Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences and the Occupational and Environmental Medicine Service of UI Health at the University of Illinois at Chicago and a Senior Clinical Educator at the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine.

In 1980, he received his medical degree from the Chicago Medical School followed by a combined residency in Internal Medicine and Emergency Medicine at Evanston Hospital with Northwestern University and a three-year preceptorship/fellowship training in Medical Toxicology at Cook County Hospital and University of Illinois Hospital in Chicago. Dr. Leikin is currently Board Certified in Internal Medicine, Emergency Medicine, Medical Toxicology and Addiction Medicine.

He has presented more than 200 research abstracts at national meetings (primarily to the North American Congress of Clinical Toxicology) and published more than 200 articles in peer-reviewed medical journals along with 80+ book chapters. He has also been an editor in 10 book publications and served on the Illinois State Board of Health from 2016 through 2019.

In accepting his award, Dr. Leikin said that he looks forward to the day "when we and the Illinois Poison Center and medical toxicology are literally put out of business. I hope that day comes soon."

Dr. Leikin is the senior editor for the monthly primary care journal, "Disease-A-Month" published by Elsevier. Later this year a cohort of GPFF Fellows will contribute original scholarly work for publication by "Disease-A-Month." The article's forward will be written by Nancy and Ross Friedman (GPFF Treasurer and President, respectively) to contextualize the foundation's work for thousands of medical professionals who subscribe to the journal.

About The GPF Foundation

The GPF Foundation was founded in 2018 to save lives by supporting education, appropriate treatment and overall awareness of the dangers related to recreational drug use. In pursuit of this mission, GPFF focuses its work in two interrelated areas: 1) Educational Initiatives to mitigate the dangers of playing a modern day version of "Russian Roulette" with street drugs, including peer-to-peer outreach on the risks of MDMA (Ecstasy or Molly), particularly adulteration with other substances, and effective harm reduction strategies; and 2) Medical Initiatives that include development and dissemination of innovative clinical training tools for front line medical providers that address a critical "blind spot" in the accurate diagnosis and effective treatment of those experiencing adverse effects of psychostimulant use.

Website Copy Protection for All Media on All Devices

GYMPIE, Australia /ScoopCloud/ -- ArtistScope, a leading developer of DRM and copy protection software for more than 20 years, celebrates the 10th anniversary of the release of the ArtistScope Site Protection Software (ASPS) and the release of ArtisBrowser for all Windows, Mac, iOS and Android devices.

First released in 2011, ASPS creates a secure tunnel between the web server and the user's desktop that is only accessible by using the ArtisBrowser, a web browser specially designed to decrypt web pages and display them in the most securely copy protected scenario imaginable.

ASPS is an enterprise solution that requires a dedicated server or VPS for the rights and permissions to run at system level on Apache, Nginx and Windows IIS servers. However today VPS rental is much more economical and hosting plans can start from as little as $10/month which is not much more than most normal webhosting plans. Any web page can be encrypted for display in ArtisBrowser, regardless of its content and creation, whether static pages or dynamically created by popular CMS such as DNN, Drupal, Joomla, Moodle or WordPress.

ASPS encrypted web pages cannot be extracted even by packet sniffers. Nor can they be extracted from browser cache or memory. Only the ArtisBrowser can decrypt them for display while protecting them from all manner of copy, capture and exploit.

There is nothing else like ASPS because there is no other copy protection solution for web content that can be considered secure. All other solutions rely on web browsers that have been designed to do exactly the opposite by making all web media and content as easy to save, copy and download as possible.

It was only up until last year that ArtisBrowser was available for Windows only because other OS, especially those used by amusement devices like mobile phones, could not be as secure as the Windows version. But the demand for mobile phone support has increased and the ability to satisfy ArtisBrowser criteria has since improved.

Anyone who has intellectual property displayed online can benefit from the use of ASPS. It is used by large and small companies alike. However, the most common usage is for the copy protection of online course material that can include all manner of data, images, PDF and video. ASPS can be used with any learning management system (LMS). Moodle is most popular with universities and colleges because it caters from study levels through to course grading. However, Moodle is complex and a learning curve for most.

WordPress is an easier solution to use that can be already installed with economical hosting plans. LMS plugins such as LearnPress for WordPress have become most sophisticated and thus very popular with online tutors catering for students in lock down.

But it doesn't matter what the website content is because ASPS and the ArtisBrowser will most securely copy protect anything that can be displayed on a web page.

The bottom line: ArtistScope provides the most secure and robust copy protection for all online media.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. /ScoopCloud/ -- Companies with ethnically diverse executive teams outperform their peers by a full 33 percent when it comes to profitability, according to a recent McKinsey report, and yet many companies still come up short in terms of diversity, equity and inclusion work. Thinkzilla Consulting Group announced the launch of a proprietary DEI Scorecard to help clients improve DEI outcomes based on research, data, best practices and organizational goals.

The scorecard can be used for audits, to support training and programs, and to help organizations build more inclusive workplaces and workforces.

"Based on feedback from companies interested in growing their diversity and inclusion programming and outreach, the scorecard can be part of your strategic plan and overall growth efforts. It's all about inspiring change in a meaningful way."

After launching the United Diversity Business Summit in 2021 with a proclamation from the city of Scottsdale, Ariz., Thinkzilla's team in Scottsdale, Atlanta, and Houston has continued to innovate and support minority business owners through its work in supplier diversity program development & evaluation, Marketing Services and DE&I assessments and training.

"While everyone knows that diverse, inclusive and equitable companies do better across many metrics, not every organization knows how to get there," said Dr. Trayham.

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- The Cursive is Cool® contest will be held as usual this year after encouragement from teachers, parents, and students, announced the American Handwriting Analysis Foundation today, despite some schools in the USA and Canada operating remotely, or using a hybrid model with in-person learning. In person education is on again, off again, hit or miss these days. Yet, Cursive is Cool Contest is reliable.

Modifications this year allow more students to participate who might not have teacher support as in the past.

Students are encouraged to enter early. A Random Drawing will be held this year at the conclusion of the contest. Prizes will be awarded for First Place, Second Place, Third Place, and a prize for the most Creative content. Those winners' handwriting will be reviewed for legibility and neatness. One of each prize per grades 1 through 8 will be awarded.

"Every year our judges look forward to reading entries because kids' points of view are not only entertaining but also often enlightening," remarked Lauren Mooney Bear, Campaign for Cursive Chair.

The annual cursive contest has many supporters. In Canada they include Laywine's and Zebra Pen (Canada). A new supporter last year is Blind Pig Press.

For the USA contest, supporters continue to grow, with Amsterdam Printing, Cursive Logic, Dixon Ticonderoga, Fahrney's Pens, Itoya, Louise Borden Author, Monkey Magnets, Caran D'ache, Colombia City Ninja School, New American Cursive, PEN World, Sakura and Writing Academy.

People and businesses from the four corners of the US are enthusiastic about supporting the Cursive Is Cool contest.

According to Sheila Lowe, President of the American Handwriting Analysis Foundation, "The good news from an informal survey indicates that more than half the states require at least some cursive writing training in public schools. Legislation is spending in six more. Only ten states have zero requirement to teach their students to write."

Nomis Solutions Appoints Fintech Veteran George Neal as Chief Product Officer, Promotes Prashant Balepur to SVP, Corporate Strategy and Partnerships

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Nomis Solutions (Nomis), a global, industry-leading pricing and profitability management solutions provider, recently announced the appointment of George Neal as chief product officer. In this role, Neal will oversee strategy and development for new and existing products across all Nomis industry verticals. With a renewed corporate focus on strategic alliances and partner development, Nomis has also promoted Prashant Balepur to senior vice president of corporate strategy and partnerships. In his new position, Balepur will focus on accelerating existing partnerships as well as evaluating new partnership potentials.

"George is a tremendous addition to the Nomis team, and his vision for our product roadmap will benefit our clients and their customers in a remarkable way," explained Frank Rohde, president and CEO of Nomis Solutions. "While his two-plus decades of experience in fintech is certainly an asset, George also brings a fresh perspective and energy to Nomis, and we are enthusiastic about the direction in which we are heading under his leadership."

Neal joins Nomis from Q2, a digital banking solution, where he served as VP of data products. Previously, Neal spent several years as the chief analytics officer at PrecisionLender, which was acquired by Q2 in 2019. Prior to that role, Neal also gained extensive executive experience at American Savings Bank as the senior vice president of credit and analytics, technology and information security and support services. Neal's additional experiences at HEI, Aon Corporation 2G Consulting, and UBS have equipped him with both a strong technological and financial background.

"I am thrilled to join the team of pricing and profitability management experts at Nomis Solutions," said Neal. "The organization has established an excellent history in traditional pricing and modeling functions, truly setting the bar on understanding how price changes impact portfolios, balances, and overall profitability. We plan to leverage Nomis' immense knowledge across these functions into a cohesive and effective product strategy, providing our valued clients with best-in-class pricing and price execution."

Balepur assumes the SVP of corporate strategy and partnerships position, bringing deep market and technical knowledge to the role. During his tenure with Nomis Solutions, Balepur has played an integral part in leading product management, product marketing, and pre-sales.

"Prashant knows our customers, products, and partners intimately and has been invaluable in the evolution and growth of the organization," said Rohde. "He is perfectly positioned to engage our fintech partners to deliver joint offerings that drive success for our customers, partners, and Nomis."

"As a bank or lender, your goal is to win and serve clients - profitably. But too often, manual processes, rigid systems, and siloed data can limit your impact, disappointing customers, and frustrating employees," said Balepur. "Working with our fintech and cloud partners across data, digital, and core banking, Nomis is helping bring customer-centricity to every product, pricing and offer conversation and decision, resulting in a far more intelligent and impactful process for all parties involved."

Nomis partners with leading banks, mortgage lenders, and other financial institutions throughout the United States and Canada to deliver sophisticated price optimization tools. Through Nomis' advanced customer-centric pricing and profitability management solutions, lenders can leverage real-time data intelligence in a smarter way, to offer best-in-class pricing and deliver more value to their customers and borrowers.

Tim Pool Highlights Craig X a Trump Supporting Anti-Establishment Republican Running for Congress

WHEELING, W.Va. /ScoopCloud/ -- Tuesday the 18th in a YouTube post about the Candidate visiting Pool's Castle. Tim Pool runs a popular podcast, more popular than CNN. He has the power to help promote an unknown Congressional candidate like the one running in his District, Craig Roberts. Recently, Tim has been speaking about helping candidates like Craig in the primaries because Tim said if they did help in the primaries then there will only be Establishment Candidates to support in the General Election.

Trump also agree to support SMART Republicans to specifically get rid of 13 RINOs. Candidate Craig Roberts happened to live in one of those Districts. It is being renamed this year to District 2 in West Virginia because of the State's shrinking population they lost another Congressional Seat. Craig Roberts is now running against two establishment millionaire Republicans, and he is a working-class candidate. He runs an online Judeo-Christian Church called Temple 420 where he recently did a 7-week online Bible study about the Four Horseman of the Apocalypse. He was heavily censored and although very proud of the work it didn't build up a following because of censorship.

Pool is creating an online beef with the candidate. Roberts went their offices, which were listed on Apple maps as, "Tim Pool Cast Castle" to leave his information with Security that was non-existent. After being invited into the house by "Ben" and explaining he was not with James O'Keefe and his group he asked to leave his info and Ben insisted he speak to the guys in the studio. There was a brief encounter with Luke Rudowski where Luke said, "Leave your info with Ben."

"As I was writing down my information, when someone or several people started calling my name multiple times." The candidate claims he knocked on the door and the video shows Ben admitting he waved Craig into the house. "I was never more than 10 feet from the door and always in the presence of Ben. The only time I stepped away from the kitchen counter where I was writing my info for the show's producer was when they called my name."

Tim Pool's and the Candidates stories differ. The candidate claims he stepped away from the kitchen counter to see who was calling his name and the moment he turned around there was giant SRL camera on a gib in his face and was confronted by a guy named Chris making it look as if he had just walked in the house and was wandering around aimlessly without being invited in by Ben. The candidate says, "Ben invited me in, I politely explained myself and Ben gave me a pen and paper to write my info on. They are making their viewers believe I broke in for clickbait, but I am happy for the publicity I was not seeking."

"Most of my donations have been for $4.20" said the Congressional candidate. "I want to serve the country, but it is hard to raise money when you are an unknown person. I thought Tim could help."

The candidate has been using social media to build a following but is continually banned and censored for his unpopular beliefs. He's anti-vaxx mandates and pro-marijuana. "I produced shows for Cali-Plug Studio prior to the plandemic and we had an armed guard with an audience a millionth the size of Pool's. It was my intention to speak to their security and there was none, so Tim's video accusing me of breaking and entering is a lie, clickbait. I was trying to leave my info not be a part of his world."

"When Glenn Beck had me on CNN there was security that I had to pass through," claimed the candidate. "I have known about Luke for years from his films, but this Pool character," the candidate chimed on stating he hadn't heard of Tim until he recently had Joe Rogan and Alex Jones on his show. "I am in films with Joe Rogan and Alex Jones. Joe was at Temple 420 the very first time I preached the Word." The candidate from West Virginia claims to have a lot of weird encounters with celebrities and has written several books. "Joe, Eddie Bravo and producer Kevin Booth all came to hear me preach my first time on Hollywood Blvd. and I absolutely sucked!"

The candidate concluded, "Tim Pool seems to be trying to increase his audience with a clickbait video about me making himself a victim like everyone on the Left. He really is a Lefty from the research I've done. My goal was to raise money at CraigX.com. I need $800 more dollars in tax-deductible donations to qualify for the primary. I appreciate everyone's love and support for my candidacy. Thank you very much and God bless America."

Inflation-proof Investments Made Possible with Luxury Diamonds

BOCA RATON, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- Last month, Rosenberg Diamonds & Co of Boca Raton, Florida, whose primary focus is high-end diamond and jewels, announced record-breaking sales for the second year in a row - despite the ongoing pandemic. And they aren't the only ones. One study showed that from January through May 2021, overall U.S. jewelry sales surged a very impressive 41% from the same period, two years earlier.

Of the company's continued rise in sales David Rosenberg, Founder, and President of Rosenberg Diamonds & Co said, "During the pandemic year of 2020, we broke records sales. What is remarkable is that in 2021, we have seen a tremendous increase from last year and have broken last year's record by mid-year."

All of this, in the face of not only a pandemic, but also rising inflation. But as Rosenberg explains, a diamond is a brilliant investment. "We're seeing some of the highest inflation we've seen in decades. Whether you are purchasing a luxury vehicle, yacht or private jet, prices are exponentially higher these days. But you can take comfort when purchasing a diamond. Luxury diamonds do not require a lot of space for storage, they are durable, and, unlike cars or yachts, you can enjoy them without any concerns about decreasing value. So while stock and cash investments remain flat, diamonds increase in value, making them an excellent hedge against inflation."

Rosenberg is starting to see a pent-up demand for luxury purchases and as many galas & functions make their way back on the calendar, customers are looking to dazzle on the red carpet. Even gifts for special occasions such as birthdays, holidays are becoming much more substantial. After all, luxury never seems to go out of style and diamonds continue to be everyone's best friend.

About Rosenberg Diamonds & Co:

David Rosenberg Diamonds is a high-end jewelry and diamond boutique located in Boca Raton, Florida. Rosenberg Diamonds & Co maintains exclusive relationships with some of the world's most prestigious and successful mines. As a result, they offer breathtaking white, D-flawless, natural fancy color diamonds and high-end jewels designed by David Rosenberg himself.

JACKSON, Miss. /ScoopCloud/ -- KLLM Transport Services (KLLM), one of the leading temperature-controlled, truckload carriers in North America, announced today the largest comprehensive pay and compensation increase in company history.

"KLLM drivers have been nothing short of remarkable over the last few years through some challenging times in the transportation industry. They've stepped up to the plate every time they've been asked to keep food on the shelves and stores stocked," said Jim Richards, KLLM President and CEO. "We are thrilled to pass along the largest pay increase in company history starting in February and the response from our current drivers has already been tremendous. Our leadership has taken feedback and put it into action with not only increasing driver wages, but also moving to practical miles, paid time off, and higher guaranteed weekly pay options."

Every Over-the-Road (OTR) and Regional company driver and independent contractor leased on with KLLM across the country will receive a pay and compensation increase in February with OTR company drivers set to see the highest cents per mile bump of almost 33 percent. KLLM Driving Academy students coming out of training have the option to go company driver or independent contractor immediately and will also see their earning potential jump 33 percent.

Regional company drivers and independent contractors will see their pay and compensation rise 10 to 16 percent in February with every regional company driver position in the company having a guaranteed weekly minimum pay option.

"Guaranteed minimum weekly pay options is something we implemented over the last year and have now rolled out nationwide to our regional company drivers keeping their wages more predictable," said Richards. "If available to drive, they know exactly how much they'll bring home each week versus having the ups and downs that can occur in some instances."

Paid earned time off for OTR company drivers will also be implemented soon where drivers who have earned home time will now be paid for the days they're off the road.

"The men and women on the road for KLLM each day will always be our greatest asset and this announcement today is driver-focused with their wants and needs in mind," said Richards.
