At Commencement, The Woodlands at Furman Graduates to ‘Certified University Based Retirement Community (UBRC)’ Status

GREENVILLE, S.C., June 2, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — The Woodlands at Furman, a 350+ resident senior living community in partnership with Furman University, has met criteria to be recognized as a “Certified University Based Retirement Community (UBRC)”, the highest category among more than 85 University Retirement Communities (URCs) nationwide. As launched last Fall by UniversityRetirementCommunities.com, the nation’s largest directory and information resource for the rapidly growing model of senior living communities with connection to a host university or college, The Woodlands is the first “Certified UBRC” in the Eastern United States, and second overall, along with Mirabella at ASU in Tempe, Arizona.

PHOTO caption: Andrew Carle, Founder of UniversityRetirementCommunities.com, presents the official “Certified University Based Retirement Community” designation to Rick Brackett, President & CEO, and Ezra Hall, Director of Philanthropy & Engagement at The Woodlands at Furman, during the awards ceremony.

“As universities and colleges celebrate Commencement nationwide, we are incredibly proud to ‘graduate’ as a ‘Certified University Based Retirement Community (UBRC),’ the equivalent of magna cum laude status,” stated Rick Brackett, President and Chief Executive Officer of The Woodlands at Furman. “We are truly honored by our partnership with Furman University and the work of the entire team at The Woodlands in creating an active, intellectually stimulating, and intergenerational environment that is reinventing senior living while bringing residents and students together to meet the needs of an aging population.”

“With the continuing growth in the number of University Retirement Communities (URCs) in the U.S. it was imperative to bring structure to this sector, in particular recognizing communities representing the highest level of integration with a host university or college,” stated Andrew Carle, Founder of UniversityRetirementCommunities.com. As Director of the Program in Senior Living Administration at George Mason University, Carle created a 5-criteria model in 2006 for a “University Based Retirement Community (UBRC)” that has been recognized as the standard for defining such communities. The criteria served as the basis for the certification program, with communities meeting all five, along with related standards, eligible for “Certified” status. Carle previously served as Senior Consultant – Health Intelligence for J.D. Power and Associates, for whom he helped lead development of its Certified Senior Living Community program in 2017.

Certification criteria include the proximity of the community to the campus, documented resident-to-university and student-to-community programs, a continuum of senior living services, the percent of residents who are alums or retired university faculty or staff, and a financial relationship between the community and university that supports long term operational success. The Woodlands is located on 99-year leased land from Furman University, and residents can participate in the university’s Osher Lifelong Learning Institute, receive courtesy greens fees at the Furman Golf Course, and discounts to both athletic and visual and performing arts events. Nearly four dozen residents hold a personal connection to the university, including alums, retired faculty and staff, and past members of the Board of Trustees. The community offers a full continuum of senior living services, while providing easy access for student internships, employment, and volunteer work within the community.

The three-year certification allows the community to display the “Certified UBRC” logo, as well as receive the highest search ranking on the UniversityRetirementCommunities.com website.

From Charleston to the Barrier Islands: Mold Inspection Sciences Expands in South Carolina

Launching unbiased, science-based mold inspection and testing services for coastal and inland communities alike

CHARLESTON, S.C., March 24, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Famed for its centuries-old architecture, picturesque beaches, and growing urban centers, South Carolina’s varied landscapes present unique moisture and mold challenges. In response, Mold Inspection Sciences (MIS)—a trusted name in proven, science-based mold inspection and testing—is pleased to announce its expansion to the Palmetto State. With more than 20 years of experience across 12 states, MIS provides inspection and testing services only, never remediation, ensuring property owners get objective insights without any conflict of interest.

Image caption: Mold Inspection Sciences.

Meeting the Needs of a Diverse State

South Carolina’s varied geography presents unique moisture challenges—ranging from coastal storms and high humidity to the distinctive needs of historic districts and rapidly growing upstate communities. Below are just a few examples of the factors MIS considers when assessing properties across the Palmetto State:

Barrier Islands and Coastal Areas
South Carolina’s beautiful coastline, from Hilton Head to the Charleston Barrier Islands, sees high humidity, salt air, and the potential for hurricanes or tropical storms. Wind-driven rain, tidal surges, and persistent dampness can leave hidden pockets of moisture in beachfront homes, vacation rentals, and waterfront restaurants.
Charleston
Charleston’s centuries-old buildings—along with the charming cobblestone streets—often feature original materials and closed-in crawl spaces, making them prone to trapped moisture. Occasional flooding and higher humidity levels can further accelerate mold growth behind plaster walls or in attics.
Greenville-Spartanburg and the Upstate
As more people flock to upstate cities for economic opportunities and a lower cost of living, older houses and modern developments alike can face moisture issues if HVAC systems aren’t properly ventilated. Seasonal storms, coupled with the region’s natural humidity, can lead to mold settling in ductwork or basements.

“South Carolina’s blend of coastal weather, older homes, and rapidly growing inland communities calls for a tailored approach to mold inspection,” says Ben Blaiss, chief operating officer at MIS. “Our team ensures every property—whether it’s a centuries-old brick home in downtown Charleston or a newly built condo in Greenville—gets a comprehensive, science-based evaluation that’s focused solely on detection, not remediation upsells.”

Services Backed by Science and Integrity

MIS offers a range of no-conflict-of-interest, evidence-based services to South Carolina residents, property managers, and healthcare professionals:

Comprehensive Mold Detection, Inspection, and Testing
Identifying and assessing mold presence using advanced, science-based methods.
Mold-Related Illness (CIRS) Inspection and Testing
Focused evaluations for individuals experiencing mold-related illness, often in collaboration with healthcare providers.
Remediation Protocols and Support Services
Detailed plans and guidance for safe, effective mold removal, helping ensure a third-party remediator follows best practices.
Post-Remediation Clearance Testing
Verifying successful cleanup and restoring peace of mind to property owners.
Drinking Water Sampling and Testing
Checking for contaminants that may affect health and safety.

By collaborating with local healthcare professionals, MIS helps patients connect the dots between persistent symptoms and potential indoor air quality issues. Whether it’s an oceanfront summer home or a quaint bed-and-breakfast downtown, MIS empowers South Carolinians to make informed decisions about mold, moisture, and the health of their indoor spaces.

Mold Inspection Sciences South Carolina is open Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 8 PM and Saturdays from 12 PM to 2 PM (closed on Sundays). For more information or to schedule an inspection, visit https://www.moldsci.com/locations or call 843.779.6599.

About Mold Inspection Sciences

Mold Inspection Sciences (MIS), https://www.moldsci.com/, was founded in 2002 with a simple goal in mind: provide affordable, professional, and high-quality mold inspection and testing services to people across dozens of cities in 12 states. Over the past 20 years, MIS has successfully performed and solved thousands of investigations, creating safer and healthier conditions for clients in diverse environments.

Candidate For Postal Union Presidency Shows How He Would Do It Differently

SUMMERVILLE, S.C., Oct. 21, 2024 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Thomas Padlan-Malm, an American Postal Workers Union presidential candidate, has launched “If I Were Postmaster General” ( ifiwerepostmastergeneral.com ) to exhibit the strategic thinking and planning mistakes most make. The union advocate uses the United States Postal Service’s activities from 2019 to 2024 as a case study to show a cascade of common strategic planning flaws.

Photo caption: Thomas Padlan-Malm for APWU President.

“The baseline I use for gauging Delivering for America’s success is 2019,” Padlan-Malm says. He notes that the Fiscal Year results in 2019 posted $8.8 billion in losses caused entirely by unrealistic pricing restrictions and arbitrary funding requirements imposed by the elected lawmakers in the United States Congress. Padlan-Malm emphasizes, “These causes were removed through the April 2022 Postal reforms, leaving no blame for future losses on those we elect.”

“In 2024, the American mail delivery system posted a $6.1 billion loss in the first three quarters of Fiscal 2024. Added to the $6.5 billion in losses during Fiscal 2023, Delivering for America has delivered $13 billion in losses during years in which breakeven financial performance was expected,” Padlan-Malm states. “These losses are mystifying when noting that none of the Congressionally inflicted impediments managed before 2022 existed during these last two years.”

Beyond financial failure, in 2019, first-class letter mail arrived on time 92% of the time within three days in the continental United States. In December 2022, Padlan-Malm informed leadership that the on-time delivery achievement for First-Class letters has only approached the 92% baseline score of 2019 through “enhancements” of delivery results (despite 18% more grace). Padlan-Malm informed them of a “Metrics Enhancement” program launched in Philadelphia at the start of the Fiscal Year 2022. This program ordered letter carriers to bring undelivered letter mail, sale flyers, and periodicals back to the post office when package delivery volume was too great to manage.

“When reassigned to South Carolina, I saw the policy was not isolated to the Philadelphia District. I explained this to Chairperson Roman Martinez and President Biden in letters sent in December 2022.” It was not Padlan-Malm’s first communication with Postal Service leaders.

When the ten-year plan DELIVERING FOR AMERICA was launched in 2021, a cover letter accompanying Padlan-Malm’s alternative approach to planning was sent to Postal Board of Governors Chairperson Ron Bloom. Padlan-Malm cited the “dearth” of consumer product experience among the Postal Board of Governors. Copies were mailed to key decision makers from the White House to Capitol Hill and all postal governors and Regulators.

The website will show that in 2021, the job-defending union member predicted no success for the plan. To Chairperson Bloom he wrote, “Unfortunately, lessons learned from investment banking, trucking logistics, union advocacy, and contract manufacturing apply to the strategic planning needs of the citizen-owned United States Postal Service with the same value as one’s accrued success in the game Rock, Paper, Scissors.” The labor union presidential candidate said, “Like the schoolyard game, we can expect the whole of this plan to succeed with similar probability (34%).”

In 2022, when Mr. Bloom was replaced as Chairperson of the Postal Board of Governors, Padlan-Malm offered MISSION POSSIBLE: A PLAN TO ASSURE ENDURING RELEVANCE TO THE UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE to the third Chairperson to preside over Postmaster General DeJoy’s strategy in as many years. He also shared the ideas with President Joe Biden, asking to be appointed to the Postal Board of Governors to help fill this critical planning experience gap among its members. This correspondence is shared on the website, including the reply from the Postal Board of Governors on behalf of the Chairperson, Roman Martinez.

From his earlier career in the private industry (where he wrote strategies that elevated Brother International to be the only consumer typewriter company from among its competitors to thrive four decades later), Padlan-Malm shares tactical marketing tools that expand and sustain success. From other experiences as a mail-service-dependent Vice President of Marketing for South Carolina’s busiest COD shipper in the 1990s and his current role as a postal clerk serving the diminished values of American mail delivery since 2020, Padlan-Malm discusses the overlooked consequences that can come when the central problems are not mitigated. “The core of my plan has been to create better bosses and a think-like-owners mentality among the workforce.

“ZIP Code by ZIP Code, from the mailbox through the workforce, I know that success can only come from being important to Americans. This depends on leaders who understand the needs of the American people and the motivations of the postal workers who serve them daily,” Padlan-Malm says.

The website, https://www.ifiwerepostmastergeneral.com/, shares what Padlan-Malm would have done differently between 2019 and 2024 if he had been Postmaster General.

Padlan-Malm adds, “If I were leading America’s mail system, I would do it knowing the hurt I see in the businesses that depend on the U.S. mail today. I would understand the reciprocity laws as they apply to the DELIVERING FOR AMERICA and the Postal Service’s increasing inability to hire and keep customers and new employees.”

Padlan-Malm declared himself a candidate for his labor union office to expand his opportunity to discuss proper planning from the mistakes most businesses make when creating strategy.

"While Amazon has been the undisputed leader in retail media advertising for the past decade, the market is exploding. Retail media networks are expected to double from $46 billion in 2023 to $109 billion in 2027, and grow from 13% to 27% of brands' total marketing budgets*," says Jacob St. John, CEO of Navigo Marketing. "In the Beauty space, the top two retailers in the U.S. launched their own RMNs - Ulta in 2022 and Sephora in 2023." (*see note [1])

St. John goes on to say, "We have seen first-hand the opportunity that exists for brands across Amazon, Ulta and Sephora. Retailers' first party data is invaluable for hyper-targeted advertising, which will become more difficult on Meta and Google with the elimination of third-party cookies. Each Beauty retailer has its own nuances, but consumers behave very similarly across the sites. Beauty brands can leverage insights from one platform to another, eliminating months of A/B testing, and driving significant revenue and ROI increases. In just over 90 days, we helped one of our clients generate a 700% increase in advertising sales and a 300% increase in ROAS on Ulta. Managing these platforms together delivers clear economic and strategic benefits."

GridBright® upgrades Oracle Network Management System (NMS) at Mid-Carolina Electric Cooperative (MCEC), underscoring the repeatability of GridBright’s NMS Configuration for Cooperatives

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- MCEC, an early adopter of Oracle Network Management Systems (NMS), undertook a major NMS upgrade and re-integration with core operational systems with both standard configuration and custom integration modifications to enable the efficient operations of an ever-increasing complex electric grid. GridBright, in its upgrade of Oracle NMS at MCEC, further leveraged its proven NMS Configuration for COOPS that incorporates industry best practices from over thirty utility implementations.

As a result, GridBright implemented Oracle NMS and associated integrations at MCEC in about nine months utilizing the GridBright COOP configuration.

"The GridBright team has done an excellent job. The Oracle NMS Coop configuration designed and implemented by GridBright is working great for our operations group," said MCEC project manager Gail Campbell.

"We expect utilities focus on network management systems upgrades and new implementations to increase because of the need to integrate renewables and manage increasingly costly grid threats such as cyber-attacks and natural disasters. Accelerating this will be the substantial amount of funding available from Government sources as the Nation significantly increases investment in the electric grid for sustainability and resilience," said GridBright Executive Vice President Tom Servas.

"GridBright's NMS Configuration for COOPS helps utilities implement grid improvements with both faster time to value and lower implementation costs," Servas added.

In 2022 there have been 15 weather/climate disaster events with losses exceeding $1 billion each to affect the United States, according to NOAA. Additionally, the US government plans to invest over $16 billion in energy infrastructure to build a 21st-century electrical grid in the coming years.

About GridBright®:

GridBright specializes in secure and sustainable grid systems integration. We provide a comprehensive set of utility systems strategy consulting, business case development, procurement process support, and system implementation and integration services and software solutions.

youturn and First Sun Partner to Provide EAP clients with Innovative Substance Misuse Support

GREENVILLE, S.C. /ScoopCloud/ -- youturn, the world's largest platform of evidence-based and therapist led video content for Stress, Anxiety, and Substance Misuse, announced a partnership with First Sun EAP. Through the partnership, youturn and First Sun will co-market services to help enterprises decrease employee stress and anxiety while increasing resilience and productivity.

The partnership will provide First Sun clients with access to youturn's risk mitigation training content for businesses and the youturn library will supplement First Sun's expansive employee and leader support programs.

youturn's CEO, Shay Houser, said, "First Sun is the leading EAP in the Southeast. Serving over 150,000 lives, we believe our combined efforts can reduce employee Stress, Anxiety, and Depression (SAD) while minimizing the impact of substance misuse inside the enterprise."

According to Maria Lund, First Sun's president and COO, "Our business is designed to grow with the needs of our customers. Offering youturn is a great added-value service that aligns with the how we are helping our customers support their employees through this difficult time."

A New Solution to a Growing Epidemic:

First Sun EAP has witnessed the transformation of mental and emotional assistance for employees for decades and, since the onset of the pandemic, has seen first-hand the impact of the rise in mental illness and decline in well-being. There is clear evidence for the need and value of organizations investing in substantial support for employees around stress, anxiety and depression. Additionally, the national rise in substance misuse is impacting every business.

According to a Gallop Poll, close to half of U.S. adults, 46%, have dealt with substance use problems in their family. And that was pre-COVID-19. Substance Misuse amongst employees has accelerated to epidemic levels. And, the missing link in the well-being of employees, is the impact of loved ones at home who are struggling. This trend is a silent killer of productivity, and more importantly, people.

First Sun and youturn intend to address this crisis by combining youturn's evidence-based educational content with First Sun's extensive clinical and workplace expertise.

"An increasing number of employees struggling with mental health challenges are reaching out to First Sun for help," said Maria Lund.

Senior Citizen to Auction Waterfall, Lake and Rustic Cabin Comprising His Private, 5.8-Acre Mountain Oasis in South Carolina

SUNSET, S.C. /ScoopCloud/ -- In the mountains of western South Carolina, on a private property in the picturesque, lake-dotted town of Sunset, you'll find a most unusual lawn ornament. It rises 60-feet toward the sky, which, for the measurement-impaired, is about five stories, according to auction firm Tranzon Fox. This towering ornament is a natural waterfall, resplendent as the breathtaking focal point of owner Roger Abercrombie's 5.8-acre property that might be more rightly termed a mountain oasis.

Of course, during the pandemic, many people set about improving their outdoor spaces. However, no matter the capaciousness of one's budget, nor the voraciousness of one's ambition, Mr. Abercrombie's waterfall almost certainly would prevail in any contest awarding a crown for best backyard decor. Yet, he does not overlook its more practical side.

While many of us in this addled age purchase white-noise machines, play recordings of babbling brooks, and devour articles with sleep-hygiene tips in a bid to obtain a more peaceful slumber, Abercrombie just takes a seat on the porch of his rustic cabin overlooking the waterfall and lake. He reports that, having done so, he just about always drifts off within five minutes, serenaded to sleep by the sounds of water cascading over the rocks.

Of course, in case you missed the part about the lake, it should be noted that, yes, he also has not just a waterfall, but also a lake to enjoy. (It sure beats the rest of us ordering kiddie pools off of Amazon.) And it's trout-stocked, no less -- so perhaps the sounds of the fish occasionally splashing around also contribute to Abercrombie's ability to drift so swiftly off to dreamland.

Then again, many details of this property are storybook-perfect, as if constructed for a dreamland scenario, not least of which is the aforementioned cabin, with its flagstone fireplace, native wood floors and ceilings, and open kitchen and large family room with that glorious, glorious view of the lake and waterfall.

Oh, and the neighbors...or rather the lack thereof might also help soothe some folks to sleep.

As anyone who's had neighbors they didn't enjoy might appreciate, Mr. Abercrombie's paradise is bordered on three sides by the Keowee-Toxaway State Park. It's also got a remote-controlled gate and fencing to deter curiosity-seekers.

However, if your curiosity has been piqued, you might be thrilled to learn that Abercrombie, having known this property since first being introduced to it when he was a toddler, has decided it's time for someone else to enjoy it. He and his wife have retained Tranzon Fox to sell it via online auction, with bidding open May 25-27, 2021. After it's sold, they plan to satisfy a wanderlust and travel the country in an RV, possibly settling down, ultimately, in a place more remote than Sunset.

As it were, Sunset is halfway between Atlanta and Charlotte, and 30 minutes north of Greenville, S.C., so this homestead easily allows use as a weekend getaway or family compound. And for those who need more room than the Abercrombies, there are a couple of suitable building sites, ideal for the construction of one's dream home. In fact, some have speculated it could even be a wonderful place to establish an inn, spa, restaurant, or other hospitality-oriented venture.

Ed Durnil, president of Tranzon Asset Advisors, who's partnering with Tranzon Fox on this sale, says, "In all my years, this is one of the most unique properties that's crossed my desk. And in a real estate market so lively that assessing the current value of even ordinary homes can be difficult, an auction is the perfect avenue to allow the buyers to help determine what this one-of-a-kind familial homestead is worth."

Ultimately, though, Mr. Abercrombie hopes that it will become a cherished part of the new owner's life and a wonderful source of family enjoyment - and that the new owners will find sleeping there comes just as easily to them as it does to him.

Tranzon Fox and Tranzon Asset Advisors are member companies of Tranzon, LLC. All Tranzon companies are independently owned and operated.

In the mountains of western South Carolina, on a private property in the picturesque, lake-dotted town of Sunset, you'll find a most unusual lawn ornament. It rises 60-feet toward the sky, which, for the measurement-impaired, is about five stories, according to auction firm Tranzon Fox.

Kids Read Now sends books through mail – no technology required – Closing the digital divide for South Carolina

GREENVILLE, S.C. /ScoopCloud/ -- Kids Read Now has partnered with school districts across South Carolina, including Spartanburg County Schools, to mail books directly to their students' homes over the summer. The number of students in the Kids Read Now program continues to grow with almost 400,000 books being mailed to students in 2020 alone!

Most students will experience reading skill loss over a typical summer break from school. Creating home libraries is key to preventing a steep learning slide due to summer break and recent extended school closures. "The KRN in-home reading program has self-selected, leveled, and exciting books with parent-led activities every week which eliminates the need for technology and eradicates learning loss at the same time. Many kids gain up to 2.5 months of learning over the summer," said Leib Lurie, CEO of Kids Read Now.

"This was a neat program to get good books in the hands of students. I also liked the piece where they had to respond with parents. That added another layer that ensures they are reading the books. The program was easy and user friendly," says Kaye F., School Literacy Specialist, Spartanburg County Schools.

The Kids Read Now K-3 summer reading program mails eight new books to students and includes exciting multicultural, fiction, and nonfiction titles loved by children. Mailing books builds ongoing enthusiasm but does not require in-home technology. Each book includes guided discussion questions to help improve reading skills and increase family engagement. The ninth book of beautifully illustrated creative writing prompts concludes the program so children can write their own stories. Best of all, kids keep their new books!

Kids Read Now is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with the singular mission to eliminate learning loss for all K-3 students.

Monument to an African American Patriot Drummer? You Bet!

BEAUFORT, S.C. /ScoopCloud/ -- According to the Georgia American Revolution Preservation Alliance, if one battlefield archaeologist had his way, the first monument placed on the newly preserved Battle of Beaufort, SC site would not be to the two signers of the Declaration of Independence who also fought there. It would be an almost forgotten private. Not that Daniel Battle feels more than one monument is well deserved at one of South Carolina's newest sites.

By the end of 1778, most of the serious fighting of the War for American Independence had been predominantly in the northern half of the new United States. That was about to change as British Forces surged a new invasion into the southern states. During the British Southern Winter Campaign 1778-79, Georgia was overrun from both land and sea with forces invading from Florida and Sandy Hook, NJ. This appeared to it be the knock-out punch that might just end the American Rebellion. It was a chaotic moment when citizens and militia volunteers throughout the South were weighing their options and loyalties.

"If the King's Forces had strategized a forgiveness campaign as some had planned, rather than a war against the citizenry, the outcome of the war may have been much different," Battle claims. Still, a spark of hope in the American cause was desperately needed at this time. Southerners got that from an unlikely place at Beaufort, SC.

"The British had barely secured Savannah before the wharves had become backed up by wagon loads of loot and plunder being sent back out of port to destinations unknown. British officers were freely enriching themselves shipping off captured slaves and plantation commodities," Battle explained.

A British expeditionary naval force soon set off with the same designs for the Lowcountry of South Carolina. That navy flotilla left a trail of destruction, marked by plumes of burning residences, as it went up the sea islands toward Beaufort. After landing near town, however, they found an angry American force under the fiery General William Moultrie awaiting them. On February 3, 1779, British Regulars attempted to march into the town but were soundly repulsed. They were beaten by an ethnically diverse American militia. "This little victory helped bolster volunteers to the American Cause at a pivotal time when support was desperately needed for what was coming for South Carolina. The American Cause was on razor thin margins," Battle explained.

The engagement at Beaufort was the first true land battle of the war in South Carolina and the first victory for the Americans since the southern invasion. One British officer would later recount, with a sneer, the presence of several African Americans within the American ranks. One of these individuals, a free man of color from one of the surrounding islands, was serving as a drummer in the 4th SC Artillery.

"Drummers were critically important in those days because we didn't have electronic communications like radios to give out battle orders. The beat of drums informed our fighting men of such things as keeping to their post or alerting to new orders during the fighting," Battle explains. This was the beginning of Beaufort's Jim Capers distinguishing career. Private Capers would serve in some of the bloodiest battles of the war all the way up to the surrender of British General Cornwallis' at Yorktown.

"He would have likely had the honor to play his drums as the British stacked their arms and this must have been an incredible experience for Capers," Battle states.

During the war, his name had become well-recognized throughout the Southern command according to pension applications. One soldier claimed: "While encamped at Jacksonborough near Charleston, I heard that the 'great Drummer Jim Capers' under (Francis 'Swamp Fox') Marion was wounded at the battle of the Eutaw Springs, South Carolina."

After the war, Capers applied for the first United States pension. Capers and his wife, who was listed as a slave, were denied benefits. Capers died without the United States ever honoring the debt for his sacrifice of service. A simple gravestone in Alabama reads, "Jim Capers a man of Color and resident in the County of Pike & State of Alabama."

"Capers was an unwavering American Patriot who deserves recognition. There is a wrong here that should be set symbolically right. Certainly, we cannot even begin to ponder what the dream of freedom must have meant to soldiers like him. Erecting a monument makes an important statement and helps set the record straight. It bridges a gap with those who have often felt little or no connection with this part of our American History," Battle states.

ITS Looks to A Green Future by Cutting Down on Plastic Packaging

ROCK HILL, S.C. /ScoopCloud/ -- For over 30 years, Industrial Test Systems, Inc. (ITS) has been a leading innovator of instruments and chemistries designed to test water quality. The company continues to push industry boundaries by shifting its packaging process and reducing its carbon footprint.

Known among many things for their easy-to-use test strips, ITS has long since packaged their products using blister-style packaging. This packaging style is not only bulky, but it creates unnecessary plastic waste. Despite this, several companies continue to implement blister packaging. ITS however, in an effort to decrease their carbon footprint, has moved away from industry standards and has made strides to produce products focused on sustainability.

ITS recently unveiled a new line of eco-friendly packets. These "pocket packets" use no plastic and opt instead for paper that is light and recyclable. Their packet like design is especially noteworthy as it holds up to 30 water quality tests in a packet that easily fits into the palm of your hand and is no thicker than a few sheets of paper.

This year also brought changes to many of the company's other long-running products. Several products were slimmed down and moved away from plastic blistering in efforts to reduce plastic waste. Amongst these were the Safe Well Check™ and the Safe Tap Check™ Kit for water quality testing designed to measure the major parameters in city and well water.

As the company moves forward, there is excitement to see where their next push towards sustainability takes them.

For more information on any of the products offered by ITS, please contact a knowledgeable ITS Product Manager by calling (803) 329-9712 or toll-free at 1-800-861-9712.

Information Sciences Students at The University of South Carolina Build A Digital Identity Blockchain Providing Validated Identities for All

COLUMBIA, S.C. /ScoopCloud/ -- The ValidIDe Project announces today the launch of its Indiegogo Fundraiser Campaign (https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-validide-project) providing Perks to contributors in support of developing the ValidIDe digital identity blockchain network.

Whether online or in the real world, there's no simple way to verify who you are or who you claim to be other than your driver's license. By having to give that document out, sometimes you are revealing all your personal identity information (PII) when it isn't necessary.

Imagine a solution where restaurants, bars, banks, governments, employers, hospitals, and others all have an accurate way to verify your identity and you don't have to worry about who is looking over your shoulder. Your personal information that isn't needed is safe and secure and the information that you do need is at your fingertips.

Students in the School of Information Sciences at the University of South Carolina (UofSC) have designed such an application that leverages the emerging technology of Blockchain. This creates an immutable (i.e., unhackable) record that provides the user absolute control over how their identity is used and shared.

"Right out of our course on Blockchain, our students created an idea, the ValidIDe app, to secure their digital identity. We have been working for nearly three years to assure that South Carolina has passed the laws required to create a prominent business environment where startups such as these can leverage the latest in emerging technology to create a company that will have a direct impact on employment and services in the state," said Dr. Gordon Jones, Professor of Blockchain at UofSC.

The ValidIDe Project is currently developing an application that you and your receiver can both place your full trust in because you know that, once the information is validated, it is impossible to hack and alter it.

"One of the primary factors of ValidIDe is to make sure that you are always in control of the information you want to share. When I need to prove my age, I don't need to share my actual birthdate, just the fact that I am of age to buy. This way, I don't have to worry if that waiter now knows my name and where I live," said Erica Barnette, a co-founder of the ValidIDe Project and senior in the iSchool at UofSC.

To create your digital ID, you'll be able to download the ValidIDe app from Apple Store or Google Play. From there, you will set up an account indicating which state you have a driver's license or official state identity in.

You will then use the ValidIDe virtual facial scan on your smartphone while the ValidIDe machine-learning algorithm compares the facial scan to your driver's license or identification card photo on file with your resident state.

Once your profile has been validated by ValidIDe and saved, advanced blockchain security features help identify that your ID is legitimate. When you need your ID, simply click on the ValidIDe app and show it to the waiter, airport TSA agent, or whomever.

Because ValidIDe is a startup created by students out of UofSC, the group wants to introduce the project to the world through an Indiegogo Fundraiser Campaign. This allows contributors to be able to support the project by pre-purchasing reward Perks. Funds raised will go directly to developing the applications and the ValidIDe blockchain network with verification services for Charter members.

We encourage and ask everyone reading this message to learn more and contribute to our Campaign website at: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-validide-project

ABOUT VALIDIDE

The ValidIDe Project is a startup created by students from the University of South Carolina. We believe that all people should own their Personal Identity Information (PII), be in control of who accesses it, and benefit from its use by any government, private enterprise, and other third parties. We verify the identity of individuals based on the strength of a collection of evidence so they may share their Personal Identity Information when required. This is executed through a process directly conducted by humans as a service and a digital process conducted by the latest in technologically advanced tools such as our Service With A Tool or the ValidIDe SWAT.

Charleston Oral and Facial Surgery Celebrates 15 Years of Making Lowcountry Residents Smile

CHARLESTON, S.C. /ScoopCloud/ -- August 2020 marks the fifteenth anniversary of Charleston Oral and Facial Surgery as a cornerstone in the Lowcountry community.

In August 2005, Dr. Edward R. Strauss started the practice in Charleston. Since then, COAFS has expanded with the addition of surgeons. In 2011, Dr. Aaron Sarathy joined the team, followed by Dr. A. Drane Oliphant in 2013 and Dr. D. Graham Lee in 2017. The four doctors practice out of six locations, including Charleston, North Charleston, Summerville, Bluffton, Mount Pleasant and Knightsville.

The oral surgery practice was founded with a commitment to making the highest levels of patient care accessible and convenient. COAFS' state-of-the-art technology, dedication to continuing education and highly trained medical personnel allow the practice to keep up with the latest innovations in a safe, comfortable environment.

"I can't believe how quickly time has flown by," said founding physician Dr. Edward R. Strauss. "It seems like yesterday I was just getting started. It's been an amazing ride, and I look forward to continuing to grow the practice with our amazing team, serving this wonderful community."

Earlier this year, in response to the COVID-19 crisis, Charleston Oral and Facial Surgery remained open for emergency dental needs. It also has implemented virtual appointments in order to give patients the option of speaking with a surgeon in the comfort and safety of home.

The practice specializes in dental implants, wisdom teeth removal, general extractions, implant-supported dentures and immediate smile transformations, to name a few. The doctors and staff also volunteer their time and expertise to various local charities and perform pro-bono surgeries for Lowcountry residents.

Bluffton Resident Gets Something to Smile About

CHARLESTON, S.C. /ScoopCloud/ -- Thanks to Charleston Oral and Facial Surgery, one Bluffton resident has something new to smile about. To some, wisdom teeth are a non-factor; to others, they're a nuisance. But to 26-year old Alex Anderson, they were the source of severe pain and necessitated removal.

After having been involved in a bad accident as a child, Anderson has struggled off and on with health issues, including impacted and infected wisdom teeth. Due to his traumatic injury and resulting pain, he was terrified of visiting the dentist until his problems became too big to ignore. It was learning of Anderson's unique story and condition from family dentist Dr. Justin Vanderpool of Hampton Lake Dental Care that prompted Charleston Oral and Facial Surgery to offer assistance - free of charge.

"With Alex's case, we saw a young man who had dealt with serious health issues and needed a hand up," said Aaron Sarathy, DMD, the physician in charge of Anderson's surgery. "It meant a great deal to be able to help someone struggling become pain free and to simultaneously eliminate the associated financial burden."

Wisdom teeth extraction is just one of the many specialties of Charleston Oral and Facial Surgery, which has six Lowcountry-area locations including Bluffton. Earlier this year, the practice did another pro bono surgery - this time for a young Charleston mom - who required the full-arch dental implant procedure.

"Bluffton and the greater area have embraced us so wholeheartedly," said COAFS' Dr. Graham Lee. "So it's important to us to do pro bono work in order to give back to the community that's given so much to us."

Recently, the practice was nominated for two awards: Charleston's Choice and Best of Bluffton for the Best Oral Surgeon category. To learn more about Charleston Oral and Facial Surgery, visit http://www.coafs.com/.

Charleston Mom Receives Brand New Smile for Mother’s Day

CHARLESTON, S.C. /ScoopCloud/ -- Just in time for Mother's Day, Charleston Oral and Facial Surgery has helped one Charleston-area woman smile again. Due to years of decay, 31-year old Chelsea Carter was referred to the practice by her dentist, Dr. Kent Griffin, as a prime candidate for guided full-arch dental implants.

As a child, Chelsea wasn't taught about oral hygiene; in fact, she didn't have a toothbrush. The result was a smile Chelsea made a point to cover with her hand when she laughed. She became used to looking away or grinning without showing teeth.

"It definitely brought my confidence down a lot," said Chelsea. "I don't feel beautiful as a mother, I don't feel beautiful as a wife."

Enter Charleston Oral and Facial Surgery and Dr. Edward R. Strauss, who was approached by Chelsea's dentist. Chelsea met Dr. Strauss at their Summerville-Ingleside location for a preliminary meeting during which he told her the good news: The dental-implant procedure would be entirely free of charge.

"Chelsea's story of being a young wife and mother moved us and we wanted to help restore her smile and her confidence," said Edward R. Strauss, DMD, MD.

"We use cutting-edge digital technology to eliminate the guesswork in the full-arch implant procedure, so we knew she would have an absolutely perfect result."

Dr. Strauss utilized the GM system by Neodent, a new generation of implant systems that boasts high-level engineering. The surgery went seamlessly, and when Chelsea woke up, she had a brand new smile.

"Now I can look at people and be confident...it definitely boosted my self-esteem a lot," Chelsea said. "They turned me into a confident, strong woman that I knew I was always meant to be for my kids."

Charleston Oral and Facial Surgery is committed to pro bono cases and has remained open during the COVID-19 crisis to treat emergent dental cases. With six Lowcountry-area locations, they are open and ready to serve the people of Charleston with both in-person and virtual appointments.

Charleston Oral and Facial Surgery in South Carolina to Remain Open During COVID-19 Crisis

CHARLESTON, S.C. /ScoopCloud/ -- While many dental practices are choosing to close due to the coronavirus (COVID-19), Charleston Oral and Facial Surgery will remain open to treat patient dental emergencies. There is no need for healthy patients to visit a hospital for emergent dental issues; rather, COAFS will treat healthy patients in the comfort of its six Lowcountry-area offices: Charleston, N. Charleston, Summerville, Mt. Pleasant, Bluffton and Knightsville. It's just another way COAFS cares about the Lowcountry community.

"With growing fears and concerns about going to hospitals and urgent care centers, we wanted to offer an alternative for dental emergencies," said Ted Strauss, DMD, MD. "Charleston Oral and Facial Surgery can help the patients of dental offices that are choosing to close by giving them a safe place to receive treatment."

Charleston Oral and Facial Surgery will continue to operate on a normal schedule, as the offices are not considered to be at risk at this time, and will work in tandem with referring dental offices. COAFS will continue to provide patient care to patients that have no symptoms of the COVID-19 virus.

It is standard policy that no staff may come to work with any symptoms. Similarly, no patient should come to an appointment if they are exhibiting symptoms of the virus. There will be no fee to reschedule an appointment.

Hand sanitizer is available in all COAFS waiting rooms and masks are available for patients at the front desk upon request. It is the practice's standard protocol to sanitize all surfaces of patient rooms and surgical suites with medical-grade cleaner before and after every single patient treatment. This will continue to be implemented, as patient safety is of the utmost importance.

Patients of Charleston Oral and Facial Surgery also have the option to remain in their vehicles after check-in. Staff will contact the patient when the appointment is set to begin.
