Linden Creek Introduces New Franchise Opportunity in Home Staging and Interior Design
Raleigh, NC, May 22, 2024 –Alisa Sparks, founder of Linden Creek, has always had a passion for design, especially for interior spaces. Despite not having a degree in the field, her staging of her own home led to the launch of Linden Creek. Her signature interiors are now found in luxury homes, condominiums, and Airbnb properties in upscale communities across the Carolinas and beyond.
Sparks founded Linden Creek in 2017, following her lifelong passion for design and leaving behind a career in finance, where she was managing budgets for Naval aircraft. She built Linden Creek as a brand that could spread through a variety of facets with one common goal – to highlight beauty, one house at a time. Using a curated collection of furnishings, artwork, and accessories, Linden Creek operates as a premier provider of home staging, interior design, and Airbnb setup. Seeing the incredible potential of the Linden Creek brand, Sparks has turned her successful business model into a new franchise opportunity with plans for nationwide growth.
“I am thrilled to offer Linden Creek as a franchise opportunity, as it allows me to share my passion for design and entrepreneurship with others. I am excited to provide the chance for more people to realize their dream of doing what they love, creating beautiful spaces that inspire and delight through the Linden Creek brand,” said Sparks.
Sparks’ journey from the Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point to Linden Creek showcases her resilience and creativity. She believes interior design is storytelling and loves to start with a blank slate. Through Linden Creek, Sparks has transformed home staging and interior design into a franchise opportunity with a focus on luxury design and a unique approach to everyday living, offering both staging and full-service interior design services.
Sparks’ innovative design system and carefully curated franchise system have already led to the launch of the first franchise location in Charlotte, with plans for national expansion.
As a franchise opportunity, Linden Creek offers a turnkey solution for aspiring entrepreneurs looking to enter the home staging and interior design market. With comprehensive training, ongoing support, and access to a proven business model, franchisees can confidently launch and grow their own successful luxury design business under the trusted Linden Creek brand.

Freedom Rhymer Poetry Event Gets People Talking About Mental Health
Metuchen, NJ, May 22, 2024 — On Friday, May 17, more than 50 people attended Left Turn Village’s second Freedom Rhymer Poetry Contest and Open Mic event at Suite Metuchen, in Metuchen, NJ. The theme was mental health in honor of May being Mental Health Awareness Month.
The five Freedom Rhymer contestants, Loschil (48; Irvington), Kim Bosse (31; South Plainfield, NJ), Liane “Golden Sapphyre” Ingalls (53; Newark), Thomas “Ghoodlife” Pender (40; South Plainfield, NJ), and Daniel Fernandez (35; Somerset County) each had five minutes to perform original pieces about mental health. Following the competition, audience members were invited to share on the open mic. Poets talked about medication, hospitalization, suicide ideation, anxiety, schizophrenia, grief, substance use, depression, and several other related topics. “We had one poet talk about the frustrating aftermath and challenges he faces finding support as a transmasculine survivor of intimate partner violence- and at the hands of a social worker no less” says Dr. Tyree Oredein, owner of Left Turn Village and creator of Freedom Rhymers. “They were all stories that needed to be told.”
“Mental health is definitely not discussed as widely as it should be, especially in the Black community,” said attendee, Ezra Davis. “So it was really nice to have a conversation about it through poetry and hear from people who have/are also struggling.”
As the nature of the content was very sensitive, Left Turn Village partnered with mental health professionals and agencies. A licensed mental health provider was on site in case anyone was triggered by the evening’s content. C. Neptune Darby Consulting Services Inc. shared resources for the audience. Students Recover, a local non-profit that provides recovery support to high school students, Naloxone training & access, and mental health support was there as well.
While all five poets are Freedom Rhymers, Bosse won first place. “I hope sharing my poetry will help eradicate the stigma surrounding mental health conditions and treatment, as well as give a voice to those who are currently struggling,” Bosse said. In addition to prize money, all Freedom Rhymers will receive a pair of designer underwear from sponsor, CHULO Underwear.
Left Turn Village is a small, Black & woman-owned, queer-centered public health and social justice company. They offer a wide array of programming to help create safer, inclusive, and culturally competent spaces for marginalized groups. Under the umbrella of Left Turn Village, the “Freedom Rhymers”, whose name was inspired by the “Freedom Riders” of the Black Civil Rights Movement, is a consortium of poets and verbal artists who may be called upon to voice their lived experiences.

Saelig Introduces Versatile Rigol 20GHz RF Signal Generators That Suit Quantum Applications
Fairport, NY, May 22, 2024 –Saelig Company, Inc. has introduced Rigol DSG5000 Series RF Microwave Generators which can generate high quality RF signals up to 20GHz with amplitude, frequency, phase, and pulse modulation capabilities. These generators are available with 2, 4, 6, or 8 independent RF channels, housed in a 2U rack-mountable case. The DSG5000 Series of signal sources feature an impressive +/- 1 degree long-term phase stability between channels and they are designed for high-frequency work in applications like radar and quantum research. Each of the up to eight channels can be independently controlled with a channel-to-channel isolation of more than 75dB, a frequency resolution of 0.01 Hz, phase deviation resolution of 0.01 degrees, and a switching speed of 3ms. The generators provide an output power adjustable from -30 dBm to +25 dBm, with a phase noise of -133dBc/Hz @ 1GHz (10 kHz offset), a fast switching speed of 3ms and an amplitude accuracy of +/- 1.1 dB (typical).
DSG5000 Series RF Signal Generators meet the needs of complex tests such as superconducting quantum computing, radar signal generation, MIMO, EMS, etc. Single or multiple qubit manipulation is the basis of complex quantum algorithms. The DSG5000 series multi-channel coherent microwave signal generator provides a stable base for realizing multiple qubit and stable vibration signals by generating multiple coherent and ultra-low phase noise microwave signals. Multiple units can be cascaded to achieve multi-channel coherent output, supporting larger-scale qubit gate operations.
The DSG5000 Series offers a channel density that is eight times greater than the previous Rigol DSG3000B series, making the DSG5000 generators an excellent solution for complex multi-channel and system-level applications. They can be controlled from a 3.5″ touchscreen interface or remotely, with local PC, or via an internet connection: just enter the IP address of the DSG5000 series into a web browser to open the Web Control software. The DSG5000 series also allows for the use of a wide range of external displays via an HDMI interface.
DSG5000 Series RF Signal Generators are available now from Saelig Company, Inc., Rigol’s USA technical distributor.
