Moat Title Security Co. Launches a Unique Document to Protect Homeowners from Squatters
Oklahoma City, OK, July 13, 2024 –Moat Title Security Co., a new and innovative leader in providing property title protection services, today announced the launch of a new document designed to protect property owners from the growing threat and risk of squatters. The new document, called the Notice of Occupancy (“NOO”), is a copyrighted legal document placed in the public records to both deter squatters from targeting a property while providing critical and powerful evidence for property owners to present to the courts to accelerate an order for eviction in the event of an attack.
“We are excited to launch the Moat Notice of Occupancy,” said Curt Moore, CEO of Moat Title Security Co. “This innovative document provides property owners with a unique layer of protection against squatters which is unfortunately a growing problem in the United States. We believe that the Notice of Occupancy is the most effective way to proactively protect your property from an unauthorized occupancy which can take months to resolve while the property is often significantly damaged.”
Moat’s Notice of Occupancy is available to property owners in all fifty states. Property owners can complete a short online application on the moattitlesecurity.com website. A Moat representative will prepare the document for execution and notarization and record the document in the public records. The cost to prepare and record the Notice of Occupancy is $295 and there are no additional monthly or annual fees. Property owners who intend to have legitimate tenants can record a Notice of Property Lease for $195 to identify legitimate tenants as the only means of another party occupying the property.

From Fed to Fiction: Shaynuh Sloane’s Explosive Novel Jaded Choyce
Washington, DC, July 13, 2024 –In her debut novel, “Jaded Choyce,” author Shaynuh Sloane pulls back the curtain on the dark underbelly of working as a woman of color in the federal government. Based on Sloane’s own experiences, this riveting story follows Chloe Choyce, a single mother and domestic abuse survivor, as she navigates a hostile work environment rife with racism, sexism, harassment and retaliation at multiple government agencies.
Despite Chloe’s talent, work ethic and commitment to public service, she finds herself repeatedly undermined, gaslit and set up to fail by toxic managers, including supervisor Felicia and the predatory Wyatt. Her attempts to seek help through official channels, like human resources and the union, only lead to further betrayal. Ultimately, Chloe is unjustly fired, prompting her to file an EEOC complaint to clear her name and hold her former employer accountable.
“Jaded Choyce” is an unflinching exposé of the systemic barriers, abuses of power and culture of complicity that persist in many government offices. Yet it is also an empowering tale of a Black woman advocating for herself and refusing to be silenced. With sharp insight and raw honesty, Sloane spotlights an issue rarely discussed openly.
“I wrote this book to validate the experiences of so many brilliant Black women whose careers have been derailed by workplace discrimination,” said Sloane. “My hope is that Chloe’s story emboldens others to speak their truth and demand change. No one should have their livelihood and mental health destroyed simply for doing their job while Black.”
“Jaded Choyce” is now available in paperback and ebook formats through Amazon, Barnes & Noble and independent booksellers.

The National Conference on School Leadership
Nashville, TN, July 13, 2024 — Givebacks, the industry standard in K-12 payments and giving technology, and Aura, the all-in-one online safety solution for individuals and families, are launching Digital Parenthood: Home Base, a program aimed at equipping parents with essential tools to raise confident and safe connected kids.
Earlier this year, the Los Angeles school board approved a cellphone ban all day on campus, and the U.S. surgeon general called for a warning on social media platforms, advising parents that they can damage teenagers’ mental health.
“As a father of four, I love the way technology creates opportunities for my kids to connect and learn, but it comes with its own set of risks that, as a parent, can be overwhelming,” said Hari Ravichandran, Aura Founder and CEO. “I found myself looking for resources that could help me and my family find balance in our connected lives, but I couldn’t find it. So, we got to work building it.”
In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, parenting comes with unique challenges. Recognizing this, Givebacks and Aura have joined forces to help parents navigate digital parenthood with tools, training and resources that can be implemented right away.
The primary objective of this partnership is to empower parents of K-12 school-aged children with the knowledge and resources they need to support their kids’ healthy use of technology. The comprehensive training program will cover crucial topics such as online safety, digital literacy and fostering healthy digital habits.
“Our collaboration with Aura is a natural fit as we continue our commitment to supporting school communities and their families,” said Bob Costa, Co-founder & President of Givebacks. “Together, we can provide parents with the tools they need to safely guide their children through the complexities of the digital age.”
Digital Parenthood: Home Base not only provides vital support to parents but also underscores both organizations’ dedication to cultivating a safer and more confident generation of digital natives. K-12 school and PTA leaders are encouraged to nominate a Digital Safety Officer to participate in the “train the trainer” style program, enabling them to return to their “home base” to host training sessions with local parents about navigating their kids’ digital safety. There will also be three regional events across the U.S. that will take place in the first half of 2025.

NuvOx Pharma LLC Announces Authorization of ARDS Trial from Health Canada
Tucson, AZ, July 13, 2024 — NuvOx Pharma LLC (“NuvOx”) announced that it has received authorization from Health Canada for its EXTEND: novEl oXygen ThErapeutic NanO2 for mild respiratory distress in Phase Ib and ARDS in Phase II Trials.
Evan Unger, MD, CEO of NuvOx, said, “Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) has been an important part of our overall development strategy. We recently expanded our protocol inclusion criteria for this trial, aiming to accommodate patients in general respiratory distress. We believe our first-in-class product will be able to help ARDS patients. We are thrilled to receive this authorization.”
“We have been preparing this trial for the past few months. Products are ready and we have signed up the first clinical site,” added Jennifer Johnson, PhD, CSO of NuvOx, “We are also very grateful to US Department of Health & Human Services, Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), with whom we entered into a partnership last year. We look forward to launching the trial.”
Jarrod Mosier, MD, Professor of Emergency Medicine & Medicine, Vice Chair for Research, the University of Arizona, lead author on the article, “The impact of intravenous dodecafluoropentane on a murine model of acute lung injury.” Intensive Care Medicine Experimental 11.1 (2023): 33., and Chair of the Data Safety Monitoring Committee for the EXTEND Trial, said, “NanO2 has shown efficacy in animal models of respiratory distress, demonstrating the potential to restore blood oxygen levels, decrease lung inflammation, and improve survival. ARDS has mortality of up to 40% in patients and this disease desperately needs effective therapy. The EXTEND Trials is expected to pave the way for NanO2 as treatment for this deadly disease.”
Approximately 10 to 15% of patients admitted to the intensive care units and up to 23% of mechanically ventilated patients meet the criteria for ARDS (1). Despite advances in critical care, ARDS still has high morbidity and mortality(2). Hypoxia from the inciting illness contributes to various cognitive changes that may persist for months after discharge. Although NanO2‘s safety and efficacy are still under investigation via various clinical trials and has not been granted market authorization by Health Canada, its use in the EXTEND Trial aims at addressing this unmet medical need.

ExcelPrep Adds Training and Apprenticeship Program in Autism Intervention for Educators and Practitioners
Champaign, IL, July 13, 2024 — ExcelPrep is excited to announce a training and practicum program for teachers and interventionists in Central Illinois. This Autism Behavior Practitioner is an apprenticeship in collaboration with the East Central Illinois Workforce Board and the Champaign County Regional Planning Commission. “This program was created to support the learning and social success of neurodiverse learners ages 5-13 and as a training resource within Central Illinois. As a member of national and state boards focused on speech-language pathology and quality indicators of autism intervention, it was exciting to formulate this apprenticeship in collaboration with the East Central Illinois Workforce and CCRPC,” says Landria Seals Green, Executive Director of ExcelPrep.
“Access to education, training, coaching, and mentorship are often pain points for systems and people that mean well. In thinking about systematic training, this team considered how teacher and interventionist training could be conceptualized in Central Illinois and simultaneously develop the workforce,” says Taylor Black, Apprenticeship Specialist. This apprenticeship is hybrid and lends educators and individuals with geographical and family systems support through a sustainable model of learning classes, hands on coaching, and focused mentorship. It is exciting to bring people and organizations in the Champaign-Urbana community training and coaching in autism centered in intervention, best practices, cultural responsibility, and family systems. The first cohort will begin August 2024. The goal of this Apprenticeship is to empower and add to the workforce through job creation for future and current behavior analysts and interventionists.
