FAXVIN Marks 16 Years of Helping Buyers and Dealers Make More Informed Vehicle Decisions

Founded on March 26, 2010, FAXVIN marks sixteen years in vehicle-history reporting with a data platform built to make used-vehicle research faster, clearer, and more practical

EDINBURGH, UK, March 26, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Today, we at FAXVIN are proud to mark 16 years in business. Since our founding on March 26, 2010, we have focused on one core mission: helping buyers, sellers, and automotive businesses make more informed decisions by giving them easier access to vehicle history information.

What began as VINCarHistory has grown into FAXVIN, a broader vehicle intelligence platform offering vehicle history reports, VIN checks, VIN decoding, license plate lookup, recalls, and other VIN-based research tools designed to reduce uncertainty before a purchase, trade, or inventory decision.

As of March 2026, our platform has provided more than 3,000,000 reports, built a database of more than 14 billion records, and covers over 820 million vehicles, with historical data collected since 1981. FAXVIN also reaches more than 280,000 monthly unique visitors.

Our reports compile records from licensed data providers and official databases into a single time-stamped report. Depending on source availability, that may include title history and brands, odometer readings, total-loss indicators, theft indicators, prior registration jurisdictions, recalls, lien or impound-related flags, and service, inspection, or auction entries from partner sources. FAXVIN reports also include NMVTIS data obtained through approved NMVTIS data providers.

For sixteen years, our goal has stayed the same: make vehicle history easier to access, easier to understand, and more useful when a real decision has to be made. We believe buyers and dealers should be able to review critical vehicle records in a format that is direct, practical, and built for action, not confusion.

This anniversary also marks the start of our next chapter. In March 2026, we welcomed Kevin Carter as Head of Product. As we continue to improve report clarity, usability, and decision-support tools across the platform, his leadership will help guide the next phase of product development at FAXVIN.

“Sixteen years in this market means sixteen years of earning trust one report at a time,” said a FAXVIN spokesperson. “We built FAXVIN to help people understand a vehicle’s past before they commit money, time, or risk. That remains our focus today, and it will remain our focus as we keep improving the platform for both consumers and businesses.”

As we look ahead, we remain committed to accuracy, accessibility, and continuous product improvement. Our job is simple: give people a clearer picture of a vehicle’s history so they can make better decisions with fewer surprises.

London AI Startup Offers Free Tool to Make AI-Written Text Undetectable – And a Detector to Catch It

LONDON, UK, March 25, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Coda One has built two tools that probably shouldn’t exist in the same company. One rewrites AI-generated text so it reads like a person wrote it. The other scans any text and tells you exactly how much of it looks machine-made. Both are free. Neither requires an account.

Before and after: Coda One's AI Humanizer drops a detection score from 56% to 12% in one click.
Image caption: Image caption: Before and after: Coda One’s AI Humanizer drops a detection score from 56% to 12% in one click.

The London-based startup launched both tools on the same platform, and founder Miles Wong doesn’t see a contradiction.

“Everyone’s using AI to write now. That’s not the issue,” Miles said. “The issue is that most of it reads like AI wrote it — and Google knows, your editor knows, your professor knows. We built one tool for the people writing, and one for the people checking. Turns out they’re often the same person.”

The humanizer isn’t subtle about what it does. Paste in a block of ChatGPT output, pick a mode — Academic, Blog, Formal, or six others — and it comes back rewritten. Different sentence lengths. Different word choices. The kind of small imperfections that make text feel human. Miles says the output consistently passes major detection platforms including GPTZero, Turnitin, and Originality.ai.

The detector works the other way. Feed it any text and it highlights sentences that look AI-generated, with a probability score for each. It’s free with no daily cap — Wong’s reasoning being that if you’re going to sell a humanizer, you’d better give people a way to check the result.

What’s interesting is who’s actually using these tools. It’s not mainly students. Wong says the biggest user group is content marketers and SEO teams. Agencies producing blog posts, landing pages, and product descriptions at scale. They draft with AI because it’s fast, then humanize because Google’s algorithm updates have made AI-pattern content a ranking liability. The detector gets used on the other end — editors and clients checking deliverables before they go live.

The academic use case exists too. Universities have rolled out detection tools. Students want to use AI as a starting point without getting flagged. Coda One’s tool page includes a note encouraging users to follow their institution’s policies. Wong frames it as editing, not cheating: “Your ideas stay. Your arguments stay. We just fix how it sounds.”

The humanizer sits inside a broader platform. Coda One offers 59 free tools — PDF merge and compress, image background removal, developer utilities like JSON formatting and JWT decoding. All the non-AI tools run in the browser. Files don’t touch a server. A Chrome extension puts the humanizer and detector into the right-click menu on any website.

Pricing: detection is free, no limits. The humanizer and other AI tools get three free uses a day. Paid plans run $9.99 to $39.99 a month. Everything else — the PDF tools, the image tools, the dev tools — stays free permanently.

ABOUT CODA ONE

Coda One is a London-based AI startup. One free platform replacing scattered tool subscriptions — AI writing, PDF, image, and developer tools. No signup needed. https://www.codaone.ai/.

‘Pundalik & Lord Vitthala’ Shares a Timeless Story for Children, of Love and Respect for one’s parents and what this truly means in life

LEICESTER, U.K., Aug. 4, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Mala Khiroya, a pharmacist turned author and storyteller, introduces young readers to the beauty of love, respect, and family values through her new children’s book, “Pundalik & Lord Vitthala: The Man Whom God Visited Because He Served His Parents Selflessly with Love” (ISBN: 9781779628800; released July, 2025 by Tellwell Publishing) – this inspiring story is now available worldwide.

Book cover: Pundalik and Lord Vitthala
Image caption: Book cover: “Pundalik and Lord Vitthala” by Mala Khiroya.

Rooted in the rich cultural and spiritual traditions of India, “Pundalik & Lord Vitthala” invites readers into the world of Pundalik, a kind boy from a magical forest near Pandharpur who, as he grows older, begins to neglect his parents. When Lord Vitthala himself visits Pundalik, the encounter teaches a powerful lesson about the importance of honoring and caring for one’s parents. The book gently weaves these themes into a tale that children and families of all backgrounds can appreciate.

Designed for readers aged five to ten, the book also includes engaging activities at the end, encouraging young readers to continue exploring the story’s message in a fun, interactive way. Early feedback from parents and educators has called the book “timeless” and “a valuable tool for teaching empathy and respect.”

Mala Khiroya’s lifelong love for storytelling was nurtured through reading to her nephew and niece. Inspired by the teachings of Pujya Bhaishri Rameshbhai Oza and her own cultural heritage, Mala has spent the past three years running children’s classes focused on character, values, and the joy of learning. She has also authored Hanuman Chalisa with illustrations for children and Shlokas, a meaningful calendar for young learners.

“Pundalik & Lord Vitthala” is currently available through Amazon and Ingram Spark.

Old Vine Registry Passes 4,000 entries: Vineyards planted in 1990 now eligible for inclusion

Wine growers are encouraged to submit their vineyards to the global crowd-sourced database that continues to grow and thrive

LONDON, England, Jan. 27, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — The Old Vine Registry, the world’s first and most authoritative database of old vine vineyards marked the new year having accumulated more than 4,000 entries from 39 countries, making steady progress to a goal of registering 10,000 vineyards by 2027.

Old Vine Registry home page
Image caption: Old Vine Registry home page.

With the changing of the year, vineyards planted in 1990 are now 35 years old and are eligible for inclusion in the registry. Producers are encouraged to submit their vineyards at https://www.oldvineregistry.org/.

The OIV’s recently passed Resolution OIV-VITI 703-2024 “OIV definition and recommendations about old grapevines and old vineyards in the vitivinicultural sector” made the explicit recommendation to all wine regions around the world to “promote and encourage the cataloguing of old vineyards and old grapevines.”

The Old Vine Registry was conceived expressly for that purpose, with the idea that in order to study, preserve, or support old vines around the world, you first need to know where they all are. The registry launched in June of 2023 with 2183 entries and has grown steadily over the last year and a half.

“The recent OIV Resolution really validated what we’re doing,” says wine writer Alder Yarrow, who serves as the day-to-day manager of the registry. “I hope it will encourage both individual producers and whole regions to publish information about their old vines.”

The Old Vine Registry is also seeking both volunteers willing to research old vineyards, as well as financial donors willing to support the non-profit project. Interested parties should e-mail oldvineregistry@gmail.com.

About The Old Vine Registry:

The Old Vine Registry is the world’s first and largest database cataloguing vineyards aged more than 35 years of age around the world. The registry aims to be a resource for the wine industry, academia, and consumers to discover and learn about old vineyards, as well as a conduit for the sale of wines made from these vineyards. Originally started by Jancis Robinson, the Registry launched as a crowd-sourced, public resource on the web in June of 2024, funded by a donation from Jackson Family Wines and managed by Alder Yarrow of Vinography.Com. The site is owned by The Old Vine Conference, a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to building a credible category for old vine wines and a community that sustains and communicates its value.

Join the Scientology Network for Inside Saint Hill: First Worldwide Headquarters of Scientology and the Home of L. Ron Hubbard in the 1960s

EAST GRINSTEAD, U.K. /ScoopCloud/ -- Scientology Network's INSIDE SCIENTOLOGY, the exclusive series that provides unprecedented access to the facilities and behind-the-scenes operation of the Church of Scientology, brings viewers inside Saint Hill-the first worldwide headquarters of Scientology.

INSIDE SCIENTOLOGY airs Monday at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Scientology Network.

Set amidst 100 acres of the ancient Ashdown Forest are the roots of a global religion. Welcome to Saint Hill. This legendary Manor House is located at the Prime Meridian, in the medieval town of East Grinstead, England. Over the course of its nearly 300-year history, its owners have included landed gentry, the wife of an American diplomat and an Indian maharajah.

Then, in the mid-20th century, Saint Hill became home to Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard. Here, he lived, worked and made pivotal breakthroughs in the spiritual technology of Scientology, guiding it from a grass-roots movement to a worldwide religion.

The Manor House, restored to its original magnificence, looks exactly as it did when Mr. Hubbard lived there. From a rare Erard grand piano he played to a darkroom where he developed his photographs, the Manor House gives visitors a sense of the many facets of his life.

In this episode, viewers are given an intimate tour of the landmark site where the global movement was born.

While Saint Hill Manor preserves the Church's origins, across the property, a modern-day Castle serves as a 21st-century church. Inspired by an 11th-century Norman fortress, the Saint Hill Castle was conceived and designed by Mr. Hubbard himself to accommodate the ever-growing numbers of people who were coming to Saint Hill to study Scientology.

Today, thousands journey from all corners of the globe to the pastoral English countryside to celebrate the anniversary of the International Association of Scientologists and support the humanitarian works it sponsors. Cameras capture the jubilant event that is infused with the spirit of Mr. Hubbard. Gain insight into the life of the Founder of Scientology, explore the roots of a modern movement and visit a magical setting with Inside Scientology: Saint Hill.

The Scientology Network debuted on March 12, 2018. Since launching, the Scientology Network has been viewed in over 240 countries and territories worldwide in 17 languages. Satisfying the curiosity of people about Scientology, the network takes viewers across six continents, spotlighting the everyday lives of Scientologists, showing the Church as a global organization, and presenting its social betterment programs that have touched the lives of millions worldwide. The network also showcases documentaries by Independent filmmakers who represent a cross section of cultures and faiths, but share a common purpose of uplifting communities. Scientology Network's innovative content has been recognized with more than 125 industry awards, including Tellys, Communitas and Hermes Creative Awards.

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

Nelson Mandela Day Celebration 2024: Honoring the Father of Peace in South Africa

LONDON, England /ScoopCloud/ -- Community and religious leaders gathered at the Church of Scientology London to celebrate International Nelson Mandela Day 2024, a day to honor the courage and persistence of the man who unified the Rainbow Nation and his commitment to equality, justice and freedom for all.

Imprisoned for 27 years for his active resistance and militant protest against apartheid, Mandela never stopped working and planning for peace. On his release from jail, Mandela demonstrated true character by forgiving his oppressors and uniting the racially divided country. He set an enduring example of peace and reconciliation for the world.

The Mandela Day event at the Church of Scientology of London featured a broad panorama of the diverse cultural and ethnic communities that call England home, from traditional Londoners to those hailing from Latin America, Yemen, India, Columbia, and Africa. The speeches and musical presentations were inspirational. And archival footage of Mandela addressing the United Nations truly crowned the celebration.

Tracey Coleman, Community Affairs Director for the Church of Scientology London, introduced those attending to the human rights educational materials of United for Human Rights and its program for young people, Youth for Human Rights. These acclaimed booklets and videos educate young and old on the 30 articles of the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights. United for Human Rights is a nonprofit, international education program. Its aim is to create a sea change by teaching people everywhere the inalienable rights enshrined in the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR).

In his autobiography, Long Walk to Freedom, published in 1994, Mandela wrote: "No one is born hating another person because of the colour of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite."

It is in that very belief that the Church of Scientology and Scientologists worldwide sponsor United for Human. They are inspired by humanitarian and Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard who believed that "human rights must be made a fact, not an idealistic dream." This support makes it possible for United for Human Rights to provide these materials free of charge to anyone wishing to use them to educate others on the UDHR.

The Church of Scientology London is an Ideal Scientology Organization, providing the full services of the Scientology religion to its parishioners and to the community. It was dedicated in 2006 by Scientology ecclesiastical leader Mr. David Miscavige.

Artificial Wisdom is a science fiction thriller set in the not-so-distant future of 2050. A heat wave has killed 400 million people in the Persian Gulf. But was the disaster natural? Or was it genocide? While a former US President campaigns against the world's first AI politician, someone is trying to sway the outcome of the election. Journalist Marcus Tully must convince the world to face the truth and make hard choices about the future of the species. But will humanity ultimately choose salvation over freedom, whatever the cost?

Foreword called the novel, "a timely science fiction novel in which the truth is difficult to find and easy to manipulate."

Lovereading called the writing "clipped, to the point, and immediately arresting - this takes a page-turning murder mystery into fresh territory, with a future-world fans of political sci-fi will be totally drawn into, and of-the-moment ethical issues everyone can relate to."

Best Thriller Books called the book a "jaw-dropping debut that feels like a blaring wake-up call - thinking of the future as Weaver writes it fills me with awe as much as dread."

Exciting new titles under the Chainmaker Press label on their way in the near future. The fourth print of "Artificial Wisdom" will be available where all books are sold.

Old Vine Registry Marks One Year Anniversary and Announces Heritage Vine Hunt Contest

LONDON, U.K. /ScoopCloud/ -- To mark the first anniversary of its launch, the Old Vine Registry held a One-Year-On webinar for the wine trade, media and old-vine enthusiasts. The hosts, Old Vine Registry Manager, Alder Yarrow, and co-founder of The Old Vine Conference, Sarah Abbott MW, announced a growth in old-vine listings of more than 1,000 new vineyards in one year; this increase of 49% brought the total number of vineyards catalogued to 3,279, across 36 countries.

"I'm really pleased with the progress that we've made so far," said Yarrow. "More than 200 individuals from around the world have submitted vineyard data, as well as some larger regional organizations. That said, we're still just scratching the surface of the old vine universe."

To ensure the continued growth and impact of the Old Vine Registry, the team have conceived a campaign to catalogue 10,000 vineyards in the next three years, which was announced during the webinar.

"In order for The Old Vine Registry to keep growing and deepen its impact we need to keep it in the minds of the global wine community. That's why we have launched the Heritage Vine Hunt Contest which aims to incentivise individuals to help us log, promote and protect more old vineyards," said Sarah Abbott MW.

Over the next three years, prizes will be awarded yearly to the individuals who contribute the most vineyard entries to the Registry. Prizes have been donated by wine industry leaders including Wine Scholar Guild, JancisRobinson.com, The Old Vine Conference, World of Fine Wine magazine, Académie du Vin Library and Vinous. Like Wikipedia, the Registry depends on the submission of vineyard data by interested parties who own or can search out vineyard data.

After three years, the individual who has contributed the most vineyards will receive the Grand Prize, which includes a travel bursary to attend an Old Vine Conference field trip, which are held around the world. Covering airfare, hotel, meals, and registration, this bursary has a value of more than US $2,000.

"We hope these prizes will incentivize some people to do a bit of research and contribute more vineyards," said Yarrow. "It's not that hard to dig up information on old vineyards, it just takes a little time and effort, and now with the contest we can reward some of that effort with great prizes and, of course, an immersive and educational trip to learn more about the significance of the world's viticultural heritage."

Contest winners will be announced yearly on the anniversary of the Registry's launch. More details on the Heritage Vine Hunt contest can be found at: https://oldvineregistry.org/contest
Watch the Anniversary webinar and contest announcement here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQqDY9Kw_Yg

About The Old Vine Registry:

The Old Vine Registry is the world's first and largest database cataloguing vineyards aged more than 35 years of age around the world. The registry aims to be a resource for the wine industry, academia, and consumers to discover and learn about old vineyards, as well as a conduit for the sale of wines made from these vineyards. Originally started by Jancis Robinson, the Registry launched as a crowd-sourced, public resource on the web in June of 2023, funded by a donation from Jackson Family Wines and managed by Alder Yarrow of Vinography.Com.

The site is owned by The Old Vine Conference, a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to building a credible category for old vine wines and a community that sustains and communicates its value.

Citizens Commission on Human Rights Demands the Royal College of Psychiatrists End the Use of ECT and All Coercive Psychiatric Practices

EDINBURGH, Scotland /ScoopCloud/ -- The UN and World Health Organization issued mental health guidance in October 2023, but the Royal College of Psychiatry (RCPsych) has still failed to direct members to comply. They have not directed members to cease using ECT (electroconvulsive treatment) and have not demanded an end to involuntary commitment. Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR) staged a march through Edinburgh and a protest at the RCPsych annual International Congress, demanding the organization immediately act to protect the human rights and health of the people of the UK.

The UN guidance states: "Coercive practices in mental health care violate the right to be protected from torture or cruel, inhumane and degrading treatment." It calls for informed consent before any use of ECT, stating individuals who are "offered ECT should also be made aware of all its risks and potential short- and long-term harmful effects, such as memory loss and brain damage." And it states ECT on children "should be prohibited through legislation." The UK must act now to protect the human rights of those caught in the mental health system, says CCHR.

According to the UK National Health Service 2022-23 report, there were 51,312 cases of involuntary commitment in the UK that year alone. What's more, the National Health Service paid for 1,989 acute courses of ECT to 1,835 individual patients in 2021. (An acute course of ECT is 6 to 12 treatments.) In 2019, more than a third of the ECTs administered were carried out without patient consent, 18 percent of which were even carried out without the second opinion required by the National Health Service.

To raise awareness of the need for immediate action to end these and other harmful practices, CCHR brought its Psychiatry: An Industry of Death Traveling Exhibit to Edinburgh to coincide with the Royal College of Psychiatrists 2024 International Congress. That visitors to the exhibit at the Edinburgh Training and Conference Venue at 16 St Mary's St. in Edinburgh were shocked to learn the facts and the history of ECT and other inhumane psychiatric practices is clear from feedback of those who toured:

* An Austrian psychologist said she was sure that ECT was no longer used in her country and was horrified to learn that it is.

* A veterinary nurse said that if an animal is aggressive, it would be tested thoroughly to see what medical and physical problems might be causing it. It would not simply be given a drug. "Why don't they do that with people?" she asked. She herself has been on Prozac for 15 years and has tried several times unsuccessfully to withdraw from it.

* A Spanish psychologist who has seen ECT being used in hospitals asked CCHR to bring the exhibit to Spain to help bring reform to his country.

Citizens Commission on Human Rights is a mental health watchdog founded in 1969 by psychiatrist Thomas Szasz and the Church of Scientology, inspired by author, humanitarian and Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard and his commitment to abolishing any and all physically damaging practices in the field of mental health.

Thousands Gather for Easter Extravaganza at Church of Scientology in East Grinstead

SAINT HILL, U.K. /ScoopCloud/ -- Some 3,000 children, parents, and grandparents gathered at Saint Hill, the Church of Scientology estate in East Grinstead, for an enormously "egg-citing" Easter Egg Hunt. Families traveled from throughout Sussex, Surrey, and Kent for the fun-filled afternoon.

Greeting the children, the Easter Bunny was joined by popular children's book, cartoon, and film characters, from ⁠Winnie the Pooh and Tigger to ⁠Paddington Bear, Peter Rabbit, Rocky and Marshall, the Paw Patrol, ⁠Queen Poppy, ⁠Pikachu, ⁠Super Mario Bros., ⁠Princess Peaches, ⁠Princess Belle, and Cinderella.

Divided into four groups by age, children raced to collect 35,000 eggs strewn across the Saint Hill grounds. Baskets were topped up on departure, so everyone left with treats to spare.

Throughout the afternoon, nonstop entertainment and family fun included fairground rides from Lenny the Land Train, a petting zoo, donkey rides, bouncy castles, a bungee trampoline, a slippery pole game, sack races, kite flying, face-painting, arts & crafts, and a play area for the little ones. Selfie stations throughout the park and an indoor photo booth helped capture memories of the day.

Peter Rabbit is a favorite of the younger children at the Easter Extravaganza at Saint Hill in the UK.

Visitors expressed their appreciation: "Thank you for making it so special for the kids," said one family. Another noted that event staff made sure that older brothers and sisters didn't prevent younger kids from collecting their share. Whenever this came up, they ran to set out more eggs so there were plenty for the little ones.

Event organizer Mathilde Jensen thanked the many volunteers and the families who traveled from near and far to make the Easter Extravaganza a great success. "You all helped make it such fun."

Look for future community events hosted by Saint Hill at the Saint Hill UK website, or Eventbrite.

Saint Hill is the legendary home of L. Ron Hubbard in the UK. It is featured in an episode of Inside Scientology on the Scientology Network. The original series provides unprecedented access to the facilities and behind-the-scenes operation of the Church of Scientology in keeping with the words of Scientology ecclesiastical leader Mr. David Miscavige on launching the network in 2018, that programming would show viewers "who we are, what Scientology is, and what Scientology can do."

Young UK Scientologists Brave the Storm Clouds To Share the Truth About Drugs Rain or Shine

EAST GRINSTEAD, UK /ScoopCloud/ -- Despite forecasters predicting rain, young Scientologists gathered at Saint Hill in East Grinstead, slipped on their signature teal Foundation for a Drug-Free World T-shirts over hoodies, unfurled their "brollies," and took off for the nearby town of Crawley to share the truth about drugs with local families. They handed out youth-friendly Truth About Drugs booklets to help other kids make the self-determined decision to live drug-free.

What has recently come to light is just how important their drug education campaign really is.

Until now, the UK has been spared the ravages of the opioid epidemic that has devastated the United States and Canada. But in December 2023, The Guardian reported that drug poisoning deaths in England and Wales have risen "to the highest level since records began 30 years ago, with nearly half of deaths now involving an opiate."

According to a March 20 news release on the Gov.uk website, the UK government has issued a ban on new synthetic opioids. "We are determined to ensure these destructive and lethal drugs do not take hold in our communities in the UK," said Crime and Policing Minister Chris Philp in the article.

But in America, simply banning these drugs has not been enough: Illicit opiates are responsible for the spike in the country's overdose deaths. This is why drug education is a vital part of any drug-prevention strategy.

According to the UN Office on Drugs and Crime, "For every dollar spent on prevention, at least ten can be saved in future health, social and crime costs."

"The only solution is to educate youth, so they don't start taking drugs in the first place," says Jessica Hochman, Executive Director of Foundation for a Drug-Free World. "Teaching kids the truth about drugs before some dealer or peer tells them lies is what it is all about. We provide resources to do just that, and in language kids listen to. Our purpose is to empower youth with the confidence that they are doing the right thing by living drug-free."

Foundation for a Drug-Free World is a nonprofit public benefit corporation that empowers youth and adults with factual information about drugs so they can make informed decisions and live drug-free.

Noting the increase in substance abuse and the role this played in the disintegration of the social fabric in the 1960s and '70s, Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard wrote, "Research has demonstrated that the single most destructive element present in our current culture is drugs."

The Church of Scientology and Scientologists support Foundation for a Drug-Free World, making it possible to provide these materials free of charge to campaigns like this and to schools, civic groups, governments, law enforcement, and institutions in the private sector.

Watch the Drug-Free World public service announcements and The Truth About Drugs-Real People, Real Stories documentary on the Scientology Network, and episodes of Voices for Humanity to see the program in action. The Scientology Network is available on DIRECTV Channel 320, DIRECTV STREAM, AT&T U-verse and streams at Scientology.tv, on mobile apps, and via the Roku, Amazon Fire and Apple TV platforms. Since launching with a special episode featuring Scientology ecclesiastical leader Mr. David Miscavige, Scientology Network has been viewed in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide in 17 languages.

For more information, visit the Scientology website, the Drug-Free World website, or contact the nearest Church of Scientology, where staff stand ready to help youth and adults make the self-determined decision to live drug-free.

‘Stop Stigmatizing Children for Normal Childhood Behavior’ Says Citizen’s Commission on Human Rights Executive Director for the UK

LONDON, England /ScoopCloud/ -- "Psychiatrists have been editing childhood and adolescence out of existence," said Brian Daniels, Executive Director of Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR) for the UK, in an open letter written for Children's Mental Health Week. CCHR is a mental health watchdog founded in 1969 by the Church of Scientology and psychiatrist Thomas Szasz to protect individuals from abusive or coercive practices in the field of mental health.

"When it's Children's Mental Health Week, it's ironic that attention isn't actually focused on children's mental health. Instead, the focus is on mental 'illness' and the host of psychiatric 'disorders' used to label various aspects of childhood."

Psychiatrists have even gone so far as to label difficulties with mathematics or reading as "impairments" in their diagnostic manuals, and normal childhood behavior has been categorized as a so-called mental "disorder."

Daniels began blowing the whistle on violations of human rights in the field of mental health when his own eyes were opened to these abuses after his aunt was institutionalized. On a visit to his aunt's hospital, he says, "I expected to see people getting better. But what I saw was people experiencing some kind of 'zombie' effect. They looked like they'd been beaten up or assaulted."

He began looking into psychiatry and discovered Citizens Commission on Human Rights, and soon became the organization's executive director in the UK. He and his volunteers educate the public on coercive psychiatric practices and document abuses to bring about reform. They have exposed criminal practices in the psychiatric industry and helped bring about the banning of the prescription and use of seven drugs on children shown to increase the risk of suicide in those under the age of 18.

"Children and adolescents are being chemically restrained, some for lengthy periods of time. Consequently, they experience the debilitating effects that go hand-in-hand with the drugs," wrote Daniels. "The saddest and most tragic aspect of it all is some children don't make it. They take their own lives after taking drugs like antidepressants that are known to cause suicidal thoughts and suicidal behavior. Parents who have lost their children have said they would never have let their children take the psychiatric drugs if they had been fully informed and knew the truth."

For decades, CCHR chapters throughout the world have been documenting and reporting inhumane and dangerous practices of coercive psychiatry. Last October, the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Office of the High Commissioner on Human Rights (OHCHR) issued guidelines to end abuses and coercive practices in mental health care.

Much work is still needed to bring about real and lasting reform, and Daniels and his team will continue exposing criminal activity and educating the public to protect them from abuse in the field of mental health.

Daniels and his team are inspired by the words of humanitarian and Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard, that "Human rights must be made a fact, not an idealistic dream."

To learn more about the Citizens Commission on Human Rights, visit their website, watch Brian Daniel's episode of Voices for Humanity, or CCHR documentaries on the Scientology Network.

The Scientology Network debuted in March 2018. Since launching with a special featuring Scientology ecclesiastical leader Mr. David Miscavige, the Scientology Network has been viewed in over 240 countries and territories in 17 languages. Satisfying the curiosity of people about Scientology and Founder L. Ron Hubbard, the network takes viewers across six continents, spotlighting the everyday lives of Scientologists, showing the Church as a global organization, and presenting its social betterment programs that have touched the lives of millions worldwide. The network also showcases documentaries by independent filmmakers who represent a cross-section of cultures and faiths, but share a common purpose of uplifting communities.

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

London is a World-Class City and Scientology is a Perfect Fit

LONDON, England /ScoopCloud/ -- London is vibrant, alive, unique. It is a city where people can express themselves and be who they are. And no matter where in the world they are from or what language they speak, they are welcome. Just so, the Church of Scientology and Scientologists embrace the diversity that is the hallmark of their city, as viewers quickly learn when they watch Destination: Scientology-London on the Scientology Network.

London played a key role in the development of the Scientology religion. As early as 1952, Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard lived and worked in the city and carried out pivotal research, wrote books, and recorded lectures that stand as milestones in the development of the religion. Today, the Church carries forward L. Ron Hubbard's legacy as a hub for humanitarian activity and a welcoming harbor for Londoners of all backgrounds and walks of life, and visitors from around the world.

This month, the Church and its parishioners celebrate the anniversary of the grand opening of their historic home in the heart of the City of London. Built in 1866 as the British and Foreign Bible Society, the Church restored the stately six-story building to its Victorian splendor. And when Scientology ecclesiastical leader Mr. David Miscavige dedicated their new home in October 2006, it signaled the start of a new era for the Church.

The fast-paced half-hour episode of Destination: Scientology-London captures the spirit of one of the world's most cosmopolitan cities and gives viewers insight into how the Church not only services Scientologists in their ascent to spiritual freedom, it also serves as a home for the entire community - a meeting ground of cooperative effort to uplift people of all cultures and denominations.

Watch Destination: Scientology-London on the Scientology Network, available on DIRECTV Channel 320, DIRECTV STREAM, AT&T U-verse and streaming at Scientology.tv, on mobile apps and via the Roku, Amazon Fire and Apple TV platforms.

Launching a new way to convert subtitles to audio using text-to-speech AI voice generators, Narakeet makes it simple to tailor videos to global audiences

WOKING, U.K. /ScoopCloud/ -- Aiming to make text to speech technology available to everyone, Narakeet today unveiled a way to seamlessly convert video subtitles into audio using state-of-the-art text to speech AI. This innovative solution emerges in response to the increasing demand for video content tailored to global audiences.

By swiftly converting written subtitles into lifelike audio narration, content creators can now effortlessly bridge language barriers. A typical use case is to provide audio tracks in different languages for videos. Instead of forcing the audience to read subtitles in a local language, video producers can engage their audiences more effectively using native audio.

Until now, providing audio tracks in multiple languages was a laborious task. Even with automated voice generators, someone would need to record lots of small sound snippets and manually synchronize them to the original visuals using video editing software. Narakeet's latest offering allows companies to localize video content by automatically synchronizing AI voice output to subtitle and closed caption timestamps, saving significant time and effort.

"Working together with clients from various industries, from religious organizations wanting to reach global audiences, to large enterprises that need to offer internal training videos to their workforce in multiple languages, we have been developing and testing this solution over the last few months. It's very exciting to be able to open it to the general public," said Gojko Adzic, founder of Narakeet.

"Instead of wasting hours on aligning audio with video, this new tool makes it trivially easy to produce alternative language soundtracks. Just upload a translated subtitle file with original timestamps, choose one of our 600 realistic voice generators in 90 languages, and get a perfectly synchronized audio track in minutes."

According to a recent report by Valuates, "The global AI Voice Generator market is expected to grow from $2.4 billion in 2023 to $7.2 billion by 2029." Making text to speech technology easily accessible to mass market consumers will be a key factor for that growth.

"Realistic text to speech technology is now easily available online, but more complex usage scenarios often require programming skills and technical knowledge beyond the reach of the usual consumer," said Adzic. "We are putting all that power in the hands of regular people, who don't have the time or skills to build their own processing systems."

The Narakeet subtitle audio generator supports both commonly used standards for subtitle files, SRT and WebVTT. It is available as an online tool for individual users, and as a developer API for companies that want to automate alternative audio track recordings for hundreds or thousands of videos.

Digitalised Old Vine Registry Launches to Global Wine Community Via Live Webinar

LONDON, U.K. /ScoopCloud/ -- On Monday, June 26, thought-leaders and pioneers in the realm of old vines hosted a live webinar to launch The Old Vine Registry: the world's most comprehensive database of living historic vineyard sites, The Old Vine Conference announced today. The Old Vine Registry, which is free to view, is an evolution of what started as a simple spreadsheet and has been completely digitalised to become an unmatched resource for the global wine industry, the academic world, and wine lovers around the globe.

470 people registered to attend the one-hour live webinar which reached 35 countries around the world. Jancis Robinson MW, Sarah Abbott MW and California-based wine writer Alder Yarrow were joined by Founder & Chairperson of The Old Vine Project in South Africa Rosa Kruger, VP of Wine Education at Jackson Family Wines Gilian Handelman, and Senior Editor of JancisRobinson.com Tamlyn Currin. The panel used the webinar to unveil The Old Vine Registry website, explain how it is funded, how to use it and how the global wine community can help to keep it up to date.

"It's hard to find projects that feel this level of energy and are imbued with so much good will," explained Gilian Handelman, VP of Wine Education at Jackson Family Wines, whose charitable donation funded the initial build of the Old Vine Registry.

Alder Yarrow, Founder & Editor at Vinography.com is the architect behind the design and build of The Old Vine Registry and has driven the project from concept to realisation. Introducing his guide on how to use the Registry he explained, "We're launching the minimum viable product (MVP), there's plenty more that we know we would like to add and change but the purpose of an MVP is to get it into the hands of the people that will actually use it and hopefully will tell us what they would like to see added, changed and attributed to the site."

The Old Vine Registry is a search-based tool designed for users to search for anything they might be looking for in the realm of old vines but, explains Yarrow, "The real magic and benefit of The Old Vine Registry is the 'Find wines from this vineyard' functionality which directs the user to wine-searcher.com and closes the commercial loop that old vines desperately need. It's one thing to champion old vine vineyards and talk about their value but if no one is actually buying, tasting and enjoying the wines they will never be commercially viable and will eventually be ripped out."

Jancis Robinson MW started writing about the world's heritage of old vines more than 15 years ago and began documenting them in the form of a rudimentary spreadsheet with writer Tamlyn Currin. Over the years as the spreadsheet grew, so did knowledge of its existence so that wineries and growers would submit details of their old vines to be added to the list by Currin and wine blogger Benjamin Roelfs.

As of Monday 26th June the Old Vine Registry has 2,200 vineyards recorded from entries collected over 13 years. Portugal and Spain lead with 822 and 383 old vineyards registered respectively. The United States comes in third with 334 vineyards, followed by Australia and France with 208 and 142 respectively.

In her closing remarks at the launch of The Old Vine Registry Jancis Robinson MW gave a rallying call for action: 'I urge everybody to participate in the Old Vine Registry: visit it, explore it, enjoy it! Let's see this grow and let's see everyone's hard work, particularly that of Alder Yarrow, bear fruit to the benefit of all of us and to the world's beautiful old vines.'

Holiday Greetings from the Jive Aces on the Scientology Network

EAST GRINSTEAD, U.K. /ScoopCloud/ -- Share Christmas favorites with a trio of songs performed by the UK's own Jive Aces, the first jive and swing band to reach the final round of Britain's Got Talent. Join them as they unwrap a series of holiday favorites, rolling out a swing version of "Jingle Bells." Sing along with them as they "Bring This Christmas to Life." And remember that even if loved ones are far away this holiday season, you can still be together as they perform "Christmas is Where You Are."

"Music is an international language," says Jive Aces' lead singer Ian Clarkson. "Through music, the emotions and feelings we all have in common can unite us."

The Jive's upbeat and uplifting music is so catchy and cheerful, that there's one doctor who routinely prescribes their video of "Bring Me Sunshine" for depression.

In addition to their songs in the Scientology Network Holiday Concert, the Jive Aces are also featured in an episode of the original series, Meet a Scientologist. The band describes how they take their style from Harlem swing and jive bands of the 1920s and New Orleans Jazz, which was born in the same era.

A century later their music still fills dancehall floors with hundreds of fans jitterbugging, energized by the band's contagious enthusiasm.

"That's what we want to do," says Clarkson, "use our art, use our music, videos, everything, to make people happy."

The band members are also well known for their activism against drug abuse and addiction. Seeing first-hand the devastating effects of drugs on so many fellow musicians and artists, the Jive Aces adopted the Scientology-supported Truth About Drugs Campaign to promote drug-free living. They reach millions of people through street concerts in the UK, Europe and the U.S. And they spearheaded drug education booklet distribution, performing at the top of double-decker busses that rolled through the 2012 UK Olympics and 2014 Edinburgh Commonwealth Games.

Get to know the six members of the band through an episode of Meet a Scientologist on the Scientology Network. Each episode of this original series provides an in-depth look into the lives of individual Scientologists from the frontiers of modern art, science, sports, entertainment, and many other professions.

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 at Scientology.tv, on mobile apps and via the Roku, Amazon Fire and Apple TV platforms.

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

Metaversing Addresses Climate Change and other UN Goals with AI Brainstorming

CAMBRIDGE, U.K. /ScoopCloud/ -- A new series of techniques and stratagems aimed at achieving a sustainable future for the Earth is being pioneered by researchers from groups like This is Zero Hour, Earth Guardians, and the Indigenous Environmental Network, as well as students from Oxford, Harvard, Cambridge, and Stanford. Called Metaversing, it differs from what is commonly known as the 'Metaverse' in that it starts from a serious consideration of what planet and people need most right now, rather than from considering future uses of technologies like AR and VR in and for themselves.

According to CTO Savannah Partridge, "We as a species need to use whatever methods are most capable of efficiently addressing issues like Climate Change, and we need to do it immediately."

Throughout 2022 Zoom meetings have been held to address the UN's 17 Agenda for Sustainability Goals using Mind mapping AI software including generateideas.ai. This program accesses 174 billion parameters derived from the Web, and when used by a trained group on a video call, incites brainstorms that can instigate fresh perspectives on current Sustainability issues.

Part of the program's appeal is that it seeks to evoke several basic emotional motivations among Zoom call participants, which make the online brainstorms resemble a mental and emotional experience something like a classic Hero's Journey. "Between 200,000 and 50,000 years ago, our ancestors roamed across the African savannahs in small bands. Each tribal member probably was called upon daily to contribute efforts towards solving serious problems faced by the group, including finding food and water, dealing with illness, and avoiding predation.

"Our Metaversing groups seem to duplicate the spirit of these ancient peoples, in that every Zoom call participant has an equal opportunity to suggest, develop, and refine solutions using the AI software," says Metaversing's Partnerships Director Soani Gunawan. "During most sessions we actively invoke affect-driven motivational experiences like laughter, compassion, friendly competition, gratitude, awe, curiosity, crowdsourced experiments, and communal teamwork to enhance the Mind Mapping. This leads to more effective solution-finding, and makes the process more fulfilling for all."

Because Metaversing posits that saving Earth from existential crises like Climate Change requires motivations tailored to every basic human need, it sees environmental improvement and personal growth as both equal in importance and interdependent. "The things we can do to effect a sustainable future can be personally rewarding, growth-inducing, and even fun" says the group's Education coordinator John Toomey. Eventually the group plans to host hundreds of online brainstorming sessions all over the world.

Successful projects created by participants are eligible to win Metaversing's Hero Award, conferred upon those who develop the best solutions for one of the UN's Sustainability Goals. Their prize consists of carbon credits obtained from providers including https://terrapass.com/ and https://marketplace.goldstandard.org/.

This Summer, Walk in L. Ron Hubbard’s Footsteps with ‘Inside Scientology: Saint Hill’

EAST GRINSTEAD, U.K. /ScoopCloud/ -- Summer is a magnificent time to visit Saint Hill, L. Ron Hubbard's home in the UK. Share the beauty and history of the quaint Sussex town of East Grinstead through an episode of "Inside Scientology" on the Scientology Network.

"Inside Scientology: Saint Hill" provides a glimpse into what it was like to be with Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard during one of the most significant periods of his research into the spirit, mind and life.

Walk in L. Ron Hubbard's footsteps where he codified the Bridge to Total Freedom, guiding the individual from their first awareness of Scientology through each higher state as they progress to spiritual freedom. Here too, Mr. Hubbard developed the administrative technology to ensure the standard delivery of his breakthrough discoveries in any Scientology Church or Mission, now and into the future. And experience the exceptional beauty and charm of the English countryside and Saint Hill Manor, Mr. Hubbard's home in the UK.

Then come along as the Scientology Network takes viewers inside the modern-day castle that serves as the spiritual headquarters for Scientologists throughout the UK and those from Churches across the globe who wish to ascend the Bridge at L. Ron Hubbard's home.

Saint Hill Castle was inspired by an 11th-century Norman fortress. It was conceived and designed by Mr. Hubbard to accommodate the tremendous growth of the religion in the 1960s, with Scientologists arriving in the UK in ever-increasing numbers to progress to higher states of awareness and ability.

"Inside Scientology: Saint Hill" also takes viewers inside the annual celebration of the anniversary of the International Association of Scientologists. Scientology ecclesiastical leader Mr. David Miscavige hosts the celebration, briefs Scientologists on milestone accomplishments, and presents the International Association of Scientologists Freedom Medal to humanitarians for their outstanding service to mankind.

The Scientology Network debuted in 2018. Since launching with a special episode featuring Mr. Miscavige, Scientology Network has been viewed in 240 countries and territories worldwide in 17 languages.

Satisfying the curiosity of people about Scientology, the network takes viewers across six continents, spotlighting the everyday lives of Scientologists, showing the Church as a global organization, and presenting its social betterment programs that have touched the lives of millions worldwide. The network also showcases documentaries by independent filmmakers who represent a cross-section of cultures and faiths, but share a common purpose of uplifting communities.

Launching a new text to speech integration API, Narakeet makes it possible for anyone to access realistic, natural, text to speech voices

WOKING, U.K. /ScoopCloud/ -- Text to Speech technology adoption is surging worldwide, driven by online education, businesses struggling to provide effective training to work-from-home employees, and companies adopting emerging technologies to communicate with customers. With the new integration interface, Narakeet aims to democratize access to high quality AI voices, making it possible for anyone to easily use text to speech functionality in their own applications.

The global text to speech market is expected to reach more than $7 billion over the next four years, according to Emergen Research. Based on deep neural networks and machine learning, modern text to speech processors can mimic human voice with incredible accuracy, but they can be complicated to set up and operate.

"Over the years we've accumulated one of the largest online collections of realistic text to speech voices, with everything from popular English dialects to Icelandic and Macedonian," said Gojko Adzic, founder of Narakeet, "and we've been hearing from other application developers that they would love to get the same high quality of voices but within their software."

Narakeet is a text-to-speech video maker that turns Powerpoint slides into narrated videos. Although it had a third-party developer integration option since 2020, it was optimized for large tasks and long jobs suitable for video contents. Audio projects are a lot simpler.

"Instead of a long and complicated process, the simplified streaming API helps you achieve everything you need with just a single request," said Adzic. "Anyone can now use our collection of more than 350 voices in 60 languages and develop the integration within minutes."

Recent advances in the quality of voice output as well as hardware performance are opening new use cases for automated voice communication. According to Markets and Markets Research, the "growing need for automation and convenience is increasing the adoption of text-to-speech technology in everyday applications."

Text to speech technology is already quickly being adopted in automotive and transportation industries, in healthcare, finance, education and consumer electronics industries, and many others.

Athanasian Hall Spotlights Fellow Dr. Fidelis Mukudi’s Work in Functional Analysis and Nanotechnology

OXFORD, U.K. /ScoopCloud/ -- Athanasian Hall, a research center headquartered in the UK, announces Fellow Dr. Fidelis Mukudi's upcoming presentations in Analysis and Nanotechnology in Rome and Dubai. Dr. Fidelis Mukudi received a Ph. D. in Functional Analysis from Kibabii University, having performed extensive research on the theory of Self-Adjoint Operators.

As a postgraduate student of outstanding promise, Dr. Mukudi already explored the frontiers of Functional Analysis, Complex Analysis, and the "Theory of Operators". In April 2022, he will deliver an address in Dubai on polynomials arising in unbounded operators defined in Hilbert Spaces.

In October, he will present novel results on the spectral properties of commutants of unbounded self-adjoint operators with simple spectra in Rome at the International Conference on Present Advances in Pure and Applied Mathematics.

According to Dr. Jonathan Kenigson, the acting Don of Athanasian Hall, Cambridge LTD, "The study of Hilbert spaces and the operators defined upon them represent a nontrivial component of modern mathematical physics. These results...often find application in the Quantum realm, where results on Operator Algebras often have corollaries in Field Theory, Information Uncertainty, and Nanotechnology. Dr. Mukudi has substantial promise as a research scholar in Functional Analysis because of his ability to think about interdisciplinary topics from the unifying perspective of Linear Analysis."

Athanasian Hall, Cambridge LTD is an independent think-tank devoted to interdisciplinary research in the Quadrivium in its most modern expressions.

According to Dr. Kenigson, "We are a pure research institute independent of the University of Cambridge. Our scholars are encouraged, but not required, to pursue affiliation with scientific bodies in the city or with university institutes. With respect to Dr. Mukudi...we will nominate him for the greatest possible support we can offer to early-career researchers. He exemplifies the best characteristics of the Liberal Arts tradition while remaining superbly qualified in all areas of modern pure mathematics. Our scholars have a great deal of latitude to choose their courses of research and can freely change university affiliation without losing the support of our faculty, which is international."

Dr. Mukudi is receptive to requests for funded postdoctoral fellowships and similar support at top institutes. According to Kenigson, "Investment in such work is of broad benefit to society even if its applications are not known in advance. Esoteric mathematics often becomes the main component of new physical and economic theories that influence the lives of millions of people."

Athanasian Hall to Explore New Relationships Between Prime Numbers and String Theory

LONDON, U.K. /ScoopCloud/ -- The study of abstract physics is often seen as separate from pure mathematics. Subjects like Black Holes, Low-Temperature Gases, Gravitation, and Electromagnetism are considered in the domain of physics rather than mathematics. "This distinction is, however, being challenged daily by advances in combinatorics and number theory applied to String Propagation...and the invariants of the Gromov-Witten Theory," states Dr. Jonathan Kenigson of Athanasian Hall.

Dr. Kenigson states that, "The primary focus of my research this year, and that of some of my colleagues, is the tangle of bridges connecting primality, combinatorics, and paradigms of String propagation." His collaborators at the research institute Athanasian Hall, Cambridge work largely independently. They are "highly motivated and accomplished scholars, and can undertake whatever research efforts they wish. I never put restrictions on such inquiry."

"As an example of what I endeavor to consider this year, one may speculate about the following scenario: String interaction operators arising from Lagrangians often arise very organically in terms of Riemann Zeta Functions of the particle number in Fermionic systems and others. These operators are complicated functions of ratios of Gamma functions and Zeta analogues whose representations are complex. It would be nice to have a compact representation of the related coefficients in terms of known combinatorial entities."

Combinatorics is the study of counting, so what Dr. Kenigson is saying is that he and his colleagues want to count the strings in predictable ways.

"Recent advances in Russia and France have made explicit relationships between globally convergent series representations of classical Zeta functions and their Hurwitz analogues commensurable with statements about choice functions, Bell Numbers, Catalan Numbers, Stirling Numbers, and many other special series." The goal of the research is to explore these relationships in the paradigm of String Theory, especially "as related to Black Holes, Fuzzballs, the Thermodynamic properties of plasmas, and high-dimensional analogues of Fermionic and Bose-Einstein Gases."

Last year, "we explored the Chandrasekhar Limit for extremal stellar implosion as a function of degeneracy pressure using Gamma Functions in high Euclidean dimensions. A Gamma Paradigm was helpful for this work, which is still ongoing."

Gamma functions are generalizations of the factorial function. If you remember from school, for instance, 4! = 4*3*2*1 = 24.

Dr. Kenigson states that "such functions arise in permutation groups on finite words, in the theory of geometric permutations, and in symmetry structures like U(n) and SU(n) which encode deep information about systemic invariants".

AeroJet Me and Travala.com Join Forces Taking Luxury Travel to New Horizons

LONDON, U.K. /ScoopCloud/ -- A leading international private jet rental company, AeroJet Me, and travel booking platform Travala.com, signed a partnership agreement on April 9 this year, consolidating an already exclusive and unique service - offering to customers travelling for business or for pleasure. This will be welcome news for those wishing to pack their bags in times when demand for travel is slowly but surely picking up.

The new partnership will allow AeroJet Me to continue developing its growing network of business partners while Travala.com will now be able to add a luxury jet rental booking to its already attractive palette of services.

"We are excited to be partnering with Travela.com in line with our common objective of satisfying our high-end clients' needs," says Irina Duisimbekova, co-founder & CEO of AeroJet Me.

Private jet travel versus commercial aviation

Private jet aviation booking platforms like AeroJet Me, are today re-inventing the luxury travel industry. Despite recent vaccine rollouts the regular commercial airline industry, hit hard by the pandemic, is still struggling to pick up. Luxury jet rental businesses, thanks to their VIP Client service teams available around the clock 24/7, is becoming the most viable option for time-pressed clients seeking hassle-free and tailor-made travel solutions.

Time, being life's most precious commodity, is something that is prized, with customers spared from needlessly waiting at busy airports' ticket or security counters. Clients are offered total flexibility- able to choose from tens of thousands of different destinations in addition to selecting from an extensive aircraft fleet spanning cargo charters, light-midsize business jets to helicopters.

Promising future for a luxury jet niche segment

Recent studies show a clear spike in the number of inquiries by potential clients wishing to travel by private jets. On average in 2020, compared to the previous year, the increase has been over 40 %. The Covid-19 pandemic has undoubtedly contributed to the growing number of passengers turning their backs on conventional first-class travel on commercial airlines which have seen flight schedules severely disrupted, with clients instead opting for 4-6 seat private jets to get them safely to their desired destinations.

Another interesting development that is giving the luxury jet travel niche sector a fresh impetus, is the declining demand for private jet ownership by ultra-high net worth individuals and businesses alike. Attitudes are changing, with clients putting their faith in private jet broker companies like AeroJet Me, who have the know-how of how best to cater for the most demanding of client needs. Time will tell if working from remote and secluded luxury destinations will be a trend that will perpetuate. However, one thing is sure - private jet travel is only just taking off towards new horizons.

Adding 60 Text-to-Speech Voices, Narakeet Enables Educators To Easily Create Video Lessons in Regional Dialects

WOKING, U.K. /ScoopCloud/ -- Remote and virtual learning environments are putting educators under pressure to create engaging video materials, yet few teachers have the equipment or skills to record professional audio. Adding 60 new voices, Narakeet this week enabled educators to easily create video lessons and voiceovers in 40 languages and regional dialects.

NCTQ studies found that teachers spend 45 minutes on average planning lessons. Having to record audio and edit videos puts additional pressure on already busy schedules, often requiring hours of extra work per day. Neural AI text-to-speech systems, with natural sounding voices, offer a compelling alternative to recorded audio, cutting preparation time from hours to minutes. Until recently, AI voices only represented major language variants, limiting the effectiveness of this approach. According to Statista research, accent or dialect issues are the second biggest barrier to adoption for voice technology in 2021, affecting 66% of respondents.

"Students like to hear voices that sound like them. They engage better with content in regional dialects. Using our new voices, educators can make video lessons that speak to their audience much more effectively," said Gojko Adzic, founder of Narakeet.

Narakeet is a text-to-speech video maker that turns PowerPoint slides into narrated videos. This week's update brings support for English variants including South African, Irish, Nigerian and Filipino voices; French with Swiss, Canadian and Belgian dialects; Spanish with Mexican and Puerto Rican variants and improved Brazilian Portuguese and Indian English.

"Combined with the recent addition of Swiss German and New Zealand English, Narakeet now has a rich collection of local dialects in many popular languages, and one the largest collections of neural text-to-speech generators," said Adzic. "Some of our competitors may offer a larger list of options, but they include older technology which cannot mimic human speech, and often provide the same voice with regional variants. Narakeet does not reuse voices across local variants, so each voice is unique."

According to MarketsandMarkets research, the text-to-speech market was valued at USD 2.0 billion in 2020 and is estimated to reach USD 5.0 billion by 2026, driven by the rising demand for handheld devices and increased investment in government spending on education. The COVID-19 pandemic caused a significant growth in demand for cloud-based solutions, especially important for schools as they shifted from in-person education to remote, virtual learning environments and mixed educational models.

Pure Transplant Solutions, LLC Announces Research Collaboration with the Department of Surgery at the University of Cambridge

AUSTIN, Texas /ScoopCloud/ -- Pure Transplant Solutions, LLC (PTS), a collaboration driven biotechnology company focused on the development of human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-based diagnostics and therapeutics within the field of transplantation, is proud to announce that it has entered into a research collaboration with The University of Cambridge Abdominal Transplant Centre at Addenbrooke's Hospital, to develop new diagnostic strategies for DSA monitoring and characterization in transplantation.

The research is being led by Dr. Vasilis Kosmoliaptsis, Honorary Consultant Abdominal Transplant and HPB Surgeon, and Dr. Rico Buchli, Vice President Products and Services and Director of Research at PTS and its parent company, Pure Protein, LLC. The research project aims to investigate the relationship between alloantibody-HLA binding strength and the capacity of alloantibodies to mediate graft injury in solid organ transplantation, with the goal to develop and validate new HLA-antibody assays that will define the future thinking of antibody affinity in transplant rejection.

Dr. Kosmoliaptsis's group and collaborators have recently developed a novel immunoassay (microfluidic antibody affinity profiling) that enables quantification of antibody affinity and concentration directly in patient sera thus allowing clinical translation of this research for patient benefit. If successful, such data will potentially facilitate a new diagnostic tool to quantify alloantibody-mediated immunological risk that may enable improved access to transplantation, reduce the risk of humoral rejection, and improve transplant outcomes.

"Antibody affinity matters, and we believe that this work has the potential to transform clinical practice in transplantation," Dr. Kosmoliaptsis stated. "The provision of purified and naturally folded HLA reagents by PTS for use in our kinetics experiments provides an exciting opportunity to increase our understanding of the pathogenic potential of HLA-specific antibodies in the context of transplantation and to improve long-term transplant outcomes."

"This research will provide compelling new evidence supporting the role of DSA affinity assessment in risk stratification of donor-specific humoral responses. We foresee that this new insight into HLA antibody kinetics will provide new strategies and diagnostics that could help improve individual patient care and ultimately increase the lifespan of transplants," said Dr. Buchli.

About Pure Transplant Solutions, LLC

Pure Transplant Solutions, LLC was founded in 1999 in order to leverage the leading research in HLA protein of parent company, Pure Protein, LLC, into solutions to address a growing list of needs in organ transplantation.
