ComplianceTech Launches LendingPatterns Lite™, a New Website Designed to Serve Those with a Need to Know More About Mortgage Lending in America

ComplianceTech, McLean, VA, announces the release of LendingPatterns Lite™. LendingPatterns Lite™ is derived from ComplianceTech's highly popular LendingPatterns Pro paid subscription application. This new free site is designed to serve those with a need to know more about mortgage lending in America. ComplianceTech's vision for LendingPatterns Lite™ is to make the power of the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA) data accessible to everyone, anytime, on an easy to use intuitive website. To gain access to the tool, and to get more information, go to LendingPatternsLite.com. A free registration to LendingPatterns Lite™ provides charts, downloadable PDFs, and the ability to export data in spreadsheet format. This tool is ComplianceTech's contribution to the public discourse on mortgage lending. Using this valuable data source, the industry and public at-large will become more informed about the business of mortgage lending.

Enacted by Congress in 1975, HMDA provides loan data to the public that can be used to assist in determining whether financial institutions are serving the housing needs of their communities, attract private investments to areas where it is needed, and to assist in identifying possible discriminatory lending patterns.

"One of the reasons we sought to make HMDA data more accessible outside of the compliance arena is to educate those in the field of housing finance about the power of HMDA data for a wide variety of purposes. The national HMDA database that the government makes public every year has a lot of potential to inform the public but falls short because you need to be a data guru to manipulate it. The job of making sense of HMDA data just got easier with LendingPatterns Lite," says Maurice Jourdain-Earl, Managing Directo r of ComplianceTech.

LendingPatterns Lite aims to be the one-stop source for free lending and demographic data. The primary focus of the tool is not compliance per se. Instead, the focus is on knowing about lenders and the lending activity in the areas they serve. The website combines a variety of datasets to make the HMDA data come to life to tell a story. "This is a great resource for affordable housing/lending and community development professionals. We are really hoping that housing or banking departments at the local and federal level will take advantage of just being able to know who is lending where, and how much lending is being done. Even the investment banking community, GSEs and those who sell to the industry should find it useful to access general information about a lender and its lending footprint, so they can better understand and serve them. These are basic questions, that before LendingPatterns Lite came along, were difficult to answer," says Mike Taliefero, Managing Director and Project Manager for LendingPatterns Lite. Other potential beneficiaries of LendingPatterns Lite™ include news services, housing counselors, housing researchers, rating agencies, real estate professionals, builders, libraries, universities, and the public at- large.

LendingPatterns Lite provides easy access to HMDA data at geographic levels ranging from metro area, state and nationally. The site currently contains HMDA data from the 2015 to 2017 (preliminary) and 2010 Census. The LendingPatterns Lite feature-set will expand in the coming weeks to include lending by congressional districts as well as additional filtering capability.

ComplianceTech, based in McLean, VA, is a leading provider of fair lending and Community Reinvestment Act solutions to the federal government, lending institutions, law firms, community organizations and researchers. The company's softwar e products include LendingPatterns™ and Fair Lending Magic™. The company also offers expert consulting services to help its clients navigate the murky waters of fair lending.

‘Pet’ Perks May Pay off for Employers, New Survey Finds

A new survey by Pet Sitters International (PSI) indicates that pet-friendly workplace policies are considered a benefit by pet-owning employees. These employees also feel that pets have a positive impact on the work environment.

PSI, the world's largest educational association for professional pet sitters and creator of Take Your Dog To Work Day®, surveyed more than 1,000 pet owners on pet-friendly workplace policies and benefits.

Survey highlights:

Additionally, 51 percent of the pet owners said that if choosing between two potential employers (equal on all other accounts), a pet-friendly policy would be a deciding factor.

"These results are not surprising as we hear these same sentiments year after year from businesses that participate in Take Your Dog To Work Day®," said Patti J. Moran, PSI president and founder . "Even companies that were apprehensive about allowing dogs at work report how well received the event is and look forward to participating again."

PSI created Take Your Dog To Work Day® in 1999 as a unique way to give back to the pet community. The event, which is always held the Friday following Father's Day, encourages employers to allow dogs in the workplace for a fun summer Friday to celebrate the great companions dogs make and promote their adoptions.

Friday, June 22, marks the 20th annual Take Your Dog To Work Day®.

"Many companies are unable to have year-round pet-friendly policies, but incorporating this one fun day into the annual calendar is a way to boost employee morale and make a difference in the lives of pets in need of forever homes," added Moran.

Companies interested in participating are encouraged to download the free event toolkit at petsit.com/toolkit. To learn more about the event, event history, its creator and 2018 sponsors, visit petsit.com/takeyourdog.

About Pet Sitters International: Founded in 1994 by Patti J. Moran, author of Pet Sitting for Profit, Pet Sitters International (PSI) is the world's largest educational association for professional pet sitters, with member pet-sitting businesses in the United States, Canada and more than 20 other countries.

TEXTree, the Guide to the Blockchain Market in East Asia

From the total virtual currency transaction amount, China is taking up more than half at 56.8%. Adding the transactions from Korea and Japan, over 70% of total transactions occur in East Asia.
In such a period, a number of companies advance into the Asian market in order to expand their business to Asia.

Circle (a company that owns a payment settlement technology based on the Blockchain) started to advance into the Asian market by organizing a dedicated team in Korea and Japan through the Poloniex (a global cryptocurrency exchange that Circle recently acquired). Jeremy Allaire, CEO of Circle, anticipates growth of the Poloniex through the Asian market expansion.

Li, a supervisor of the business in Asia for Bitfury group (a full-service Blockchain company), nominated Korea as the most promising and attractive Blockchain market. For th at reason, he mentioned, "Korea has a large economic scale with the high level technology. Moreover, numerous people and companies are interested in Blockchain-based cryptocurrency."

Frederic Montagnon, the president of the Legolas Exchange (a French cryptocurrency exchange), stated, "Korea has various opportunities of becoming the center of the Blockchain industry. We hosted ICO a few months ago, and we have promoted in the US market and European market as usual. Nevertheless, we found that Korea has a great interest in us as 25% of the total access is from Korea."

Foreign companies will face language barriers. Therefore, to initiate blockchain business in Asian markets, they should overcome the barriers.
Since East Asian countries like Korea, China, and Japan do not speak English as a mother language, their comprehension in English is low. Thus, if they encounter the website or product introduction in English, this can leave t hem uninterested.
In fact, when customers in East Asia see some websites or services in their native languages, the result shows increased regular customers by 74%, customers' higher value appreciation by 56% and increased online shopping by 55%.
Especially, the localization for the targeted county is mandatory to make people understand the concept of Blockchain technology-based service to receive investment from the Asian investors or encourage people to participate in the service.

MoxyOne, a token platform company aiming at functioning as an actual currency system, established the business of providing a stable transaction between cryptocurrency trading companies. MoxyOne interpreted the great interest regarding cryptocurrency shown in Asia as a high potential for the cryptocurrency trading realization.
Localizing into Asia is complicated if MoxyOne does it by itself, therefore, they decided to select some professional company for l ocalization in the Asian market.

Mo Abbas, the co-founder and back-end developer of MoxyOne, considered two points when choosing a company for localization in order to enter the Asian market. The first point is to choose a company that knows the Asian market in depth, and the second point is if a company deeply understands the Blockchain technology.
Although it was not easy to find such a company, TEXTree (Korean company) was selected after testing sample translations among a few companies. TEXTree helped MoxyOne to localize their white paper in Korean, Chinese and Japanese.

Abbas added, "we were able to reach and appeal to the potential investors effectively through the localization service of TEXTree, and we are very satisfied with their localization service."

If you are a foreign company and looking for the stepping-stone of the Asian market just like MoxyOne, it is a good idea to inquire into either expert translation companies or localizat ion companies in the region in terms of Blockchain white paper and the websites.

Advice for Value Conscious Prom Planners Underlines the Importance of Quality Limo Service on the Big Night, Says KLS Limousine Service

An April 5 article on the Clarion Ledger offers advice for parents and others who are helping their teens make plans for prom, suggesting that it makes sense to shop around for key items such as gowns, rented tuxedos, and limousines. KLS Limousine Service, a car service operating in the Los Angeles, San Francisco, and New York City areas, says that it is definitely worthwhile to look carefully for the best value in limousine services for the big night, but parents should keep in mind that some common assumptions can be misleading.

In particular, the firm says that it's a very common, and very incorrect, assumption that the limousine services offered through Uber and Lyft will necessarily be substantially less expensive than an experienced, high-quality provider such as KLS. The firm says that, using its services can very often be less expensive than what might be available through the ridesharing services on any given night, which famously change their pricing depending on fluctuating demand – which can be especially heavy during prom season. Moreover, a service like KLS offers a significantly higher level of reliable service than ridesharing customers can depend on. The firm adds that its fleet of vehicles is painstakingly maintained and includes some of the finest luxury vehicles on the road, including the classic Lincoln MKT Stretch Limousine for larger groups as well as the Mercedes Sprinter VIP Shuttle. Smaller groups or couples can take advantage of luxury s edans from some of the world's finest manufacturers, says KLS

Regarding service, the firm notes that the outstanding women and men at the helm of their vehicles are chauffeurs. While most people with a valid driver's license can be a ridesharing driver, KLS says that chauffeurs are trained and experienced professionals; they are not only experts on ensuring a safe and pleasant drive, they can also act as a sort of travelling concierge in terms of being able to provide the additional services that really can maximize the fun of the evening.

KLS Limousine Service adds that it understands the, for people from all walks of life, money is a finite resource, and it's always a good idea to make sure it's being spent wisely. The firm adds that part of spending money wisely is also making sure that reliable and careful services is at a maximum, especially when it comes to young people on one of the most important nights of their lives.

Interested readers ca n learn more about KLS Limousine Service by calling 1-877-936-5466 or visiting its web site at https://klsla.com.

Lumos Launches Smart Gesture Recognition With Apple Watch, Becomes First Smart Bike Helmet To Be Sold In the Apple Store

This spring, Lumos will be releasing a significant upgrade: An app on the Apple Watch that will enable a rider to activate the turn signals on his/her helmet with just their hand gestures.    

With this groundbreaking smart Gesture Recognition technology, riders will no longer have to use the remote to activate their turn signal. Instead, the technology enhances the riders safety by fitting around the rider's normal behavior. By automatically activating the turn signal via hand gestures, the rider enjoys a seamless, safer experience.    

The Lumos Helmet will now also feature enhanced Bluetooth connectivity to the iPhone. With an upgraded iPhone app, the Helmet can now be integrated with Strava and Apple Health, allowing riders to have their ride activity recorded automatically whenever they ride.    

One beta tester who tried the feature out in San Francisco for a day said "I've never seen the Apple Watch used in this way before. It's a really cool feature, and it works surprisingly well."

To highlight and display these innovative integrations with the Apple ecosystem, Apple Retail is launching Lumos Helmets into 300 Apple Store locations across the United States and Europe. It will be the first time that a helmet of any kind will be sold at the Apple Store.    

"I am tremendously excited about this new feature and how it will further enhance cycling safety," said Eu-wen Ding, Lumos Helmet's CEO. "As a design-centered company, we're thrilled to be able to launch this with Apple. Having got our start as an idea on Kickstarter, this is a huge moment for us!"
