IRVING, TexasDec. 29, 2023PRLog — The L-Tron team has returned from the annual International Association of Fire Chiefs (IAFC) Technology Summit, which was held at the Irving Convention Center in Irving, Texas earlier this month. The Summit attracted fire service professionals from all over the country, as well as many industry-leading technology companies. The L-Tron team attended for the first time this year, showcasing its patented OSCR360 System for in-house firefighter training, emergency preplanning, fire investigation, and crash documentation.

L-Tron team members, Andy McNeill and Julianne Pangal attended the Summit and enjoyed chatting with attendees from around the globe. From the time spent with visitors at the L-Tron booth, to casual conversations over lunch, McNeill and Pangal found that people were impressed with OSCR360’s multiple purposes and features, as well as the system’s affordable price point.

“We’d like to extend our thanks to the IAFC for a warm reception at our first ever Technology Summit,” says Pangal. She elaborated, “agencies loved to see how OSCR360 can help with emergency preparedness, fire investigations, and crash documentation. One attendee was amazed at how the OSCR360 camera is self-righting when held at any angle and commented on how the System would be great for documenting the car wrecks they see. We are looking forward to attending future IAFC events.”

The OSCR360 System delivers a practical and cost-effective method for departments to regularly train their firefighters on a variety of scenarios. This includes first responder safety, fire investigations, fire science, ventilation strategies, search and rescue, active threats, pre-planning for high-risk scenarios, and more.

Harbor Associates and F&F Capital Acquire West Los Angeles Office Building for $44.7 Million

Harbor Associates Acquires 1640 Sepulveda Boulevar

Harbor Associates Acquires 1640 Sepulveda Boulevar

SEAL BEACH, Calif.Dec. 26, 2023PRLog — Harbor Associates, LLC (“Harbor”) in  joint venture with F&F Capital Group has acquired a five-story, 164,683-square-foot Class A creative office building on Los Angeles’ westside for $44.713 million.

“After several years of kicking the can down the road, we are now beginning to see distress hit the market,” said Harbor Principal Joon Choi.  “While current market conditions and the work from home phenomenon has dealt a severe blow to the commercial office sector, there are still compelling opportunities to find the hidden gems at a deep discount to replacement.  At our cost basis, we expect the property to perform very well for us in the Post Covid-era.”

1640 Sepulveda Boulevard is located one block north of Santa Monica Boulevard at the gateway to Century City and Beverly Hills.   Built in 1987, the property was extensively renovated over the last decade with more than $11 million in renovations that went to improve tenant spaces, create expansive North and West facing balconies, redesigned building lobby, and common areas, a 70-seat ground floor screening room and brand new elevator landings.

“1640 Sepulveda is a well-appointed low-rise creative office asset that is in high demand in Southern California,” added Harbor Principal Paul Miszkowicz.  “It also draws off the leasing velocity taking place in Century City, Los Angeles’ strongest office submarket.  “Given those demand drivers, more than 80,000 square feet of leases have been signed in the past three years”.

1640 Sepulveda was 80% occupied at the time of closing.

This is the joint venture’s second acquisition in the past two months.   In November Harbor/F&F acquired a 102,000-square-foot industrial portfolio in the San Diego submarket of Carlsbad for $21 million.

“F&F Capital is thrilled to be expanding our relationship with Harbor Associates and growing our nationwide multi-billion dollar real estate portfolio with their team,” added Jeff Frieden, Co-Founder and CEO of F&F Capital Group.

Kevin Shannon and Rob Hannan of Newmark advised the seller.

About Harbor: Harbor Associates, LLC (http://www.harborassociates.com) is a value-add operating platform focused on acquiring and repositioning under-performing commercial real estate assets throughout Southern California. Harbor has been involved in the renovation, repositioning and development of 40 commercial projects totaling over 4.0 million square feet with a portfolio value in excess of $1.0B. The company is a joint venture with The Bascom Group, LLC.

Acy Brown Aims to Showcase the “The Art of Business” Documentary at International Film Festivals

Acy Brown-Entrepreneur and Film Executive

Acy Brown-Entrepreneur and Film Executive

TORONTODec. 26, 2023PRLog — Acy Brown, acclaimed businessman and film executive, is hoping to make waves in Canada as he launches his new documentary project in early 2024.

As the home of the Toronto International Film Festival, Toronto serves as the perfect backdrop for this groundbreaking documentary. Acy’s gaze is fixated upon Toronto, in hopes that his new project will make its way to this prestigious film festival in the very near future.

Reason being, TIFF is dedicated to presenting the best of international and Canadian cinema and creating transformational experiences for film lovers and creators of all ages and backgrounds. As Canada’s premiere home of cinema, TIFF offers screenings, lectures, discussions, festivals, workshops, events, professional development and opportunities to meet, hear and learn from filmmakers from Canada and around the world.

“I am looking forward to taking this impactful documentary all around the world—in one way or another—and I believe that film festivals such as TIFF, Cannes Film Festival, Tribeca Festival, Raindance Film Festival, BFI London Film Festival, Atlanta Film Festival, and the Sundance Film Festival would be the perfect launchpads for this noteworthy project,” stated Acy Brown.

According to their website, the Sundance Film Festival is the ultimate gathering of original storytellers and audiences seeking new voices and fresh perspectives. Their annual program includes dramatic and documentary features, short films, and episodic content. They also host daily filmmaker conversations, panel discussions, and other events. Since 1985, hundreds of films launched at the Festival have gone on to gain critical acclaim and reach new audiences worldwide.

Acy has always believed in shooting for the stars! When it comes to his brand, Acy has a vision as big as the sky. He has earned his stripes in the modeling industry, as well as in the business world; And now he is blazing new trails in the film industry. Acy along with his co-Executive Producer, Anthony Little, have created a new documentary, The Art of Business: The Best of Both Worlds, that is set to be released in February.

With Toronto being the host city to one of the world’s largest and most prestigious film festivals, Acy sees this as the ideal time and place to heighten his visibilty in North America. He is keenly aware that positioning his product—which in this case is his documentary—in front the illustrious audience that this film festival brings would be the ideal platform to introduce this “masterpiece” documentary to the world.

As a seasoned businessman, Acy is clearly cognizant of the benefits of expanding his brand globally, via film festivals. Here’s why: They provide an opportunity for filmmakers to showcase their work to a wide audience, often providing invaluable feedback and exposure. They also provide a platform for industry professionals to network and discuss new projects.

Moreover, networking at film festivals allows indie filmmakers to tap into a vast pool of industry expertise and knowledge, enabling them to gain insights, advice, and even critical feedback on their work, The aforementioned benefits confirm the fact that exploring film festival opportunities would be a smart business move for Acy’s multimedia company, which includes the Acy Brown Media Group [ABMG].

For his first ABMG production project, Acy joined forces with Anthony Little of Charlotte, North Carolina to create this riveting and transformative documentary, The Art of Business: The Best of Both Worlds. This notable film captures the essence of grit, determination, resilience, camaraderie, and next-level business acumen. Throughout the documentary, the viewer is taken on an eventful journey through the lives of two businessmen who have managed to successfully build their empires despite setbacks, hardships, unforeseen tragedies, and familiar loss. Through it all, Acy and Anthony have emerged as remarkably successful men, both personally and professionally.

In the documentary, we witness a bird’s-eye view of both of their lives. Acy’s life showcases his rural hometown of Chatham, Louisiana whereas he wears many hats; including being a man of faith, a family man, a businessman, a caretaker, a commercial/fashion print model/actor and community activist. Acy parlays his business savvy into creating an expansive brand, despite being based in a small town. Conversely, Anthony’s backdrop of a thriving metropolis gives him far-reaching access to a myriad of professional resources that are available to him in Charlotte. The Art of Business: The Best of Both Worlds was borne out of their desire to work in tandem with one another to create a cinematic masterpiece that would inspire emerging business owners—as well as people from all walks of life— to tap into their God-given greatness to create a masterpiece of their own: In business and in life.

This captivating documentary is essential viewing for those of you who want more out of life. It will resonate with viewers who are determined to be successful in whatever environment they find themselves in. Anthony’s salient takeaway from the film is: “I want the viewers to understand that hard work is not only the key to success but also business entrepreneurship can take your imagination around the planet and give you insight on family values that will help you to understand that we are only passing through and that we must cherish the moment and plan for the future not the present.”

The Art of Business:The Best of Both Worlds was directed by Curt Braden, and was Executive Produced by Anthony Little and Acy Brown.

Uniites™ created Shipping Rate Reduction Act of America SRRAA

Uniites™ specializing in uniting People & Businesses Across America, is the main sponsor for SRRAA, and is asking the Department of Justice DOJ, Federal Trade Commission FTC & Small Business Administration SBA, to help reduce Shipping Rates

DALLASDec. 25, 2023PRLog — Small Business Owners are being forced out of business due to High Shipping Rates.

Large Corporations enjoy greatly reduced Shipping Rates, including partnerships with the United States Postal Service USPS.  Because of these Enormous Costs,  Hundreds of Thousands of Small Business Owners can’t compete, and have shut down.  E-commerce is the Future, and Shipping Costs are Essential to a Small Businesses Survival.

Uniites™, a company specializing in uniting People & Businesses Across America, is the main sponsor for SRRAA, and is asking the Department of Justice DOJ, Federal Trade Commission FTC & Small Business Administration SBA, to help reduce Shipping Rates through the USPS.

This reduction in Shipping Rates would be accomplished by the DOJ, FTC & SBA partnering with the USPS, and establishing special Shipping Rates for Small Business Owners Across America.

The DOJ has recently filed a lawsuit against Amazon because they think Amazon is too large, and they are hurting Small Business Owners Across America. Well, if things don’t change Soon, Amazon will be even larger than they are now.

At the same time, Facebook/Meta, Snapchat & Shopify, recently announced a partnership with Amazon to offer product Fulfillment and Shipping for Small Business Owners on their platforms, thus, Americans & American Small Business Owners depend heavily on Amazon to provide Shipping around the U.S., which directly contradicts the DOJ’s lawsuit against Amazon.

If the SBA, would partner with the USPS directly, Small Business Owners would not need to rely on companies like Amazon for reduced Shipping Costs.

The USPS is not directly owned by the U.S. Govt., however, they are funded by the U.S. Govt., which is funded by U.S. taxpayers.

It’s time the Small Business Owners who pay their taxes, get a direct benefit from reduced Shipping Rates through the USPS, and can stop relying on large corporations, like Amazon, to ship their goods to customers.

For most Small Business Owners, they rely heavily on e-commerce to stay open, however, the cost of Shipping forces them to raise their prices, and makes them unable to compete.

Small Business Owners can’t sell products for $15, pay $5-$7 in Shipping Costs, when companies like Amazon pay $.50-$1.00 or less to ship that same product.

It’s time the DOJ, FTC & SBA work with the USPS, help Small Businesses Thrive, Not Hope They Survive, because Small Businesses are the Economic Engines of America.

As of July 2023, USPS launched new pricing, which still causes Small Businesses to be uncompetitive.  Read their recent price change, and news release:

In July 2023, the Postal Service successfully launched USPS Ground Advantage, a new shipping offering which provides a simple, reliable, and more affordable way to ship packages. – FACTS, the rate is $5.91+ with Tracking Number, for a Small Envelope with an item or items less than 14oz inside it.

AND THAT IS THEIR NEW PRICING!

If the USPS Offered US Taxpayers & Small Businesses FREE Shipping, the US Govt., ie U.S. Taxpayers, would pay around $86 Billion annually to cover “ALL” USPS costs.

So, remember that the next time you hear the U.S. sent another country or countries $85+ Billion dollars in aid!!

The Entire U.S. Economy, Annually, is around $20 Trillion dollars, which SMALL Businesses play a HUGE role in that amount, or once did!

Now, most Small Businesses are closing their doors or relying on Amazon to fulfill and ship their products!

They simply have NO OTHER CHOICE!!

This is Not a Left Wing or Right Wing issue, this is an American issue!

Uniites™, is asking for your support in signing this petition. The best way to demand change is with millions of Americans & American Small Businesses to support the SRRAA.   Go to iPetitions.com of Change.org to sign.

Thank You in advance for Your Support!

Global Superstar Jahna Sebastian Releases her Highly Anticipated New Album, ‘Revelation Ships’

Revelation Ships Artwork Jahna Sebastian

Revelation Ships Artwork Jahna Sebastian

NEW YORKDec. 23, 2023PRLog — London-based singer/songwriter, producer, composer, visionary, and multi-instrumentalist Jahna Sebastian, releases her highly anticipated album Revelation Ships’. The long-awaited new album is her third and it was written, recorded, produced, arranged, performed, and mixed by Ms. Sebastian at her studio Multivizion Music. ‘Revelation Ships’ is the third chapter of the Musical Book that Ms. Sebastian is writing to document our times. It is a follow-up to ‘The Alchemist’, which is the first album by the songstress and it is about self-discovery.  Her second album ‘Legends On The Map’, is about setting on a journey to different places that describe the state of the world.

When asked about the inspiration for the uplifting new album, Ms. Sebastian stated, “We are living in the times of the Revelation, the Great Awakening, when many people are opening their eyes to the truth. The real history of humanity, and the spiritual war for the souls on Earth is happening now. Eventually, the light will prevail and we will step into the Golden Age. The spiritual knowledge from ancient times is being uncovered to shine the light on the future. In these unprecedented times, many people are searching for a way to freedom and unifying creative force, solutions. After the darkest hour, the sunrise will come. This is an information age and all must be revealed. I am doing it through music, culture, and spirituality. The transition to the new time will be happening over the years, for an era that will go on for thousands of years and beyond. Music is the universal language that will unite everyone.”

The album features the following song:‘ Day By Day’ about the inspirational movement she is creating to empower people worldwide to make a positive change. Choice To Be Free’ which Ms. Sebastian described as, “The choice that you make within yourself every day to stay on your path, to stay true to your values, your soul. In the digital age, there are many opinions, and points of view on society, the key is to make a choice that’s based on what you stand for. It is a time to be fearless and use the principle of the Universe, the freedom of choice. Another principle is what it is to be historically for the best of humanity to live and continue into the Golden Age and that includes collective choice. ‘Changes In The Sky’ in this soul-provoking track, Ms. Sebastian discusses the connection between the changing human emotions throughout life through experiences and the color palette, the shapes of the clouds, and the stars in the sky.  Ms. Sebastian wrote this single to bring awareness to the masses so they can be closer to understanding the inner voice and why these changes are happening.

‘How Did We Get Here,’ this sizzling track is made up of meaningful lyrics about the world and sung over a dubstep beat representing the London sound where she lives. ‘Takeover’, this song features tribal drums that reflect the traditional way of life. It also paints a vivid picture of the inspiration to create a better vision for the future in the times when humanity is at the crossroads of history. It also creates an understanding of the importance of doing it as a community.

‘Rise’, this soulful single was created and inspired by her roots in the same traditions of her meditation music, the ‘Aurora’ and ‘Sun Light’ Meditation music. The song opens like a scene in a movie with Ms. Sebastian playing domra. There are also traditional sounds on the album and the song ‘Uletai Outro’ creates a feeling for the next chapter.  Ms. Sebastian is paying homage to the classical music of her Motherland.

The artwork of the album was created by her long-time collaborator Ainur Timergallev. He also drew the artwork for the first album ‘The Alchemist’, the second album ‘Legends On The Map’, and Ms.Sebastian’s portrait which is titled ‘Unveiled‘. Unveiled is a portrait with a lot of symbolism that was able to capture Ms.Sebastian’s essence truly. The Voice of the Golden Age, a teacher and innovator.

Ms.Sebastian stated that her album cover ‘Revelation Ships’ shows why and what is happening next, “Standing on the Moon, as a station, symbolizing the go-between the worlds, a transition between eras and transformation of the planets in front of me. It represents the moment deciding to come with the knowledge from higher realms to show the power of the mind and transform the civilization for people to expand their true potential.”

Ms.Sebastian is unfolding her philosophy through her albums, visuals, and healing. This album will be groundbreaking and will showcase Ms. Sebastian’s natural storytelling and songwriting skills.

The album is now available on Bandcamp:
