(PRBuzz.com) July 12, 2013 -- A maniacal dictator on the planet Kor launches a plan to exterminate and enslave inferior peoples in the science fiction thriller, The God Games. Can the energynauts stop him?

Denver, CO, and Atlantic City, NJ - Couples Ed and Ann Nelson and Thomas and Glenna Boyle are energynauts sent by ONE from Heaven to the planet Kor on a mission to depose the maniacal dictator, Gog, leader of Selve. It's a chilling tale of terror and tyranny told in the new science fiction thriller, The God Games: Legend of Kor, published by Outskirts Press.

Gog's followers, the green Selves, view themselves as a superior race with a higher intelligence and stronger physique than other races on Kor. Armed with a sense of entitlement and the loyalty of his fellow Selves, Gog is determined to exterminate all of the despised orange Wales, and has set his sights on another sinister plan: conquer all of Kor and make slaves of the lavender Vouns and blue Emons. The dictator has built death camps to take care of the Wale problem, and a labor camp for the confinement of Emon and Voun slaves.

Now, the energynauts must use every weapon in their arsenal - invisibility, telepathy, tele-transport and shape-shifting - to help the subjugated peoples of Kor stop Gog's treacherous plan.

Borrowing inspiration from the Holocaust and Jewish symbolism, The God Games is sure to please science fiction buffs, spirituality seekers and any reader who appreciates endearing characters, fast-paced action and vividly drawn relationships with a hearty nod to history.

The God Games: Legend of Kor can be ordered by retailers or wholesalers for the maximum trade discount price set by the author in quantities of 10 or more from the Outskirts Press Direct bookstore at www.OutskirtsPress.com/bookstore. The book is available worldwide on book retailer websites such as Amazon and is being aggressively promoted with a focus on the science fiction and adventure categories.

Phoenix, AZ (PRBuzz.com) July 12, 2013 -- The Accrediting Commission of the Distance Education and Training Council (DETC) met June 14, 2013 and voted to renew the accreditation of Dunlap-Stone University (DSU). As their action letter states, "Accreditation by DETC is a reliable indicator of the value and quality of distance education that an institution offers. In receiving renewal of accreditation [without conditions], DSU has demonstrated its commitment to educational standards and ethical business practices that assure quality, accountability, and improvement in higher education." The institution was found to meet or exceed each of the Commission's standards for accreditation. The examining committee noted DSU's commitment to students, an exemplary assessment program, and the quality of curriculum.

DETC Standards address a wide range of macro and micro topics throughout the institution, from business practices to academic quality, including standards for individual course learning outcomes and credit assessment. "We are proud of this accomplishment as the accreditation standards and practices have become more rigorous and complex each year," said Dr. Caulyne Barron, DSU's Chief Academic Officer. Over the last few years, an increasing number of schools up for reaccreditation have failed to meet the Commission's strict standards and lost their accreditation. The accreditation process relies on an extensive self-study process, volumes of data and exhibits, a visit from an examining committee, and a review by the Accrediting Commission. "Every five years the school has the opportunity to work with staff members from its peer schools to see where our strengths are and where we can improve in order to serve our students better. We greatly enjoyed discussing our approach to education throughout the process and are excited to have extended our accreditation through 2018," said Dr. Barron.

(PRBuzz.com) July 12, 2013 --

1) I want to buy a new home. At what point should I contact a mortgage lender or Loan Officer?

If you're looking to buy a new home, one of the most important pieces of information that you will need is an idea of how large a loan you will be able to secure. Not only will this guide your house hunt by targeting properties that you can afford to purchase, but it can give you a sense of security if you take the time to obtain pre-approval for a mortgage loan. By contacting a mortgage lender up front as you and your real estate agent begin your home search, you can work with the licensed Loan Officer to determine the type and amount of loan for which you will likely be approved.

A Loan Officer can help explain your loan options and determine your eligibility for a conventional, FHA, or VA loan, and can also counsel you about current interest rates and whether a fixed- or adjustable-rate mortgage is right for you.

2) What will I need to do in order to obtain pre-approval for a mortgage loan?

You will need to provide detailed financial information to your mortgage lender so that he or she can form a clear picture of your financial situation. Getting pre-approved for a mortgage differs from simply pre-qualifying. The difference between a pre-qualification and a pre-approval is the level of commitment from a lender. While pre-qualification is merely an educated estimate of how much of a mortgage payment you will be able to afford, a pre-approval is a much firmer commitment from a lender.

For pre-qualification, you must provide income and financial details, but this information is informally provided. To obtain pre-approval, you will need to submit to a credit check and provide documentation that will verify your income and financial holdings. Pre-approval is based on the same information and is run through the same underwriting process as a final approval, except for a title search and appraisal.

Some of the documents you will need to provide for pre-approval include pay stubs, W-2 forms or tax returns, and bank and investment account statements. There may be additional documentation required based on your specific situation. Your lender will also run a credit check on you with the three major credit reporting agencies.

3) If I have a pre-approval letter for a mortgage loan, am I certain to secure financing once I have made an offer on a new home?

Your being pre-approved will prove attractive to a seller. Pre-approval usually suggests final approval. However, in order to extend a loan, your lender will need to see a home appraisal, verify the property's title, and likely run your credit again and verify documentation to make certain that your financial circumstances have not changed since you were pre-approved.

Generally speaking, pre-approval is a big step toward being approved for a mortgage loan. Your Loan Officer can guide you in the process and get you started on a path to home ownership.

(PRBuzz.com) July 12, 2013 -- A people march around the walls of Jericho and after marching around seven times the priests blow their horns and the people shout on the way to victory. Three hundred men facing forty thousand are told to begin shouting the Sword of the Lord and Gideon. They throw the forty-thousand into chaos. Paul and Silas join in singing a hymn while imprisoned the floors quake and doors break. And the disciples sing a song as an introduction to the darkest event upon the planet, the arrest and crucifixion of Jesus. Thereafter, the Church with the greatest life-giving business on the earth is instructed to sing to each other (Judges 6:5; 7:20; Matthew 26:30; Acts 16:25; Ephesians 5:19).

Given these as a few Christ-based examples, music has a place in every aspect of life including progress and productivity in the workplace according to Dr. Steven DavidSon.

"Perhaps Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, 'Whistle While You Work' is more than a fairy tale score. There is something integral to the human spirit about melody and movement. I call humming or singing during a task Emotive Internalized Melody (EIM). It practically operates like an insulator or opiate without any intoxicating effect."

DavidSon alludes to Professor Dr. Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligences concept for childhood education.

"Notwithstanding the detractors, Gardner's Musical Intelligence exceeds Childhood education in my view. It is an inherent quality possessed by some. They use EIM as a pressure relief and productivity enhancer. Dr. Sian Billock of the University of Chicago reasons that loading too much information to ensure performance without relief causes overload or choking. Singing distracts the mind, and prevents overloading. Based on brain-scans Billock concluded that choking is not only sub-optimal performance, it is poor performance."

DavidSon concludes that where thinkers are concerned and they possess the EIM attribute, employers should encourage it.

"Encourage them to listen to music, hum, or sing as long as it does not distract others. And simply because someone does not possess EIM does not mean a person cannot develop the attribute. If there is any kind of music appreciation a person can learn to employ EIM.

What else can I say? 'Just whistle while you work. And cheerfully together we can tidy up the place. So hum a merry tune. It won't take long when there's a song to help you set the pace.'"

Devoted to Quality Management and Process Improvement concepts for Church and non-profit organizations, Dr. DavidSon has worked in Management Engineering, Finance, and Production operations in government. He is a major award winner, and the leading-edge founder of the nation's exclusive Christ-based organization dedicated to Christian Education and Counseling.

SHARE HUNGER APPEAL RAISES $271,334 INCLUDING A $183,976 MATCH BY CENTURYLINK FOUNDATION; PHOTO OPPORTUNITY: CHECK PRESENTATION ON MONDAY, JULY 15, 3:00 P.M. AT THE SHARE FROMHOLD SERVICE CENTER, 2306 NE ANDRESEN ROAD

Vancouver, Wash. (PRBuzz.com) July 12, 2013 -- Share's annual Hunger Appeal raised a gross total of $271,334 thanks to a generous $183,976 match by the CenturyLink Clarke M. Williams Foundation through their 2013 CenturyLink Feed the Children Backpack Buddies Food Drive, which took place June 3-7 in hundreds of company locations across the country.

CenturyLink's $183,976 match donation to Share represented the largest portion of the $1 million allocated by the CenturyLink Foundation to support employee efforts during this year's food drive.

"It's a great day for those who benefit from Share's tireless efforts and we are excited for the opportunity to continue this valuable partnership," said Chris Denzin, CenturyLink's vice president and general manager for southwest Washington and Oregon. "Thank you to our southwest Washington employees and to all those who supported this worthwhile drive to lessen the impact of food insecurity in our communities."

"We are continually amazed by the generosity of our local community to answer the call to provide the most basics of needs - food - to men, women and children," said Diane McWithey, Executive Director of Share. "We'd like to thank CenturyLink employees, the CenturyLink Foundation, and all those in our community who participated in the CenturyLink Food Drive."

According to the 2010 Hunger Study by Feeding America, the nation's largest hunger relief organization, 37 million Americans, including 14 million children, are receiving food assistance annually, an increase of 46 percent since 2006. That means one in eight Americans now rely on Feeding America and its nationwide network of local food banks.

Thirty-six percent of the households that food banks serve have at least one person working, and more than one-third of client households report having to choose between food and other basic necessities such as rent, utilities and medical care.

Complete online workflow

Vizrt will showcase its Vizrt Online Suite, a highly integrated workflow for online publishing that includes the Escenic Content Engine content management system.

(PRBuzz.com) July 12, 2013 -- ANN ARBOR, MI -- Prairie Media has released a new documentary entitled "Chess Masterworks: The Art and History of Twenty-five Chess Sets from the World-Renowned Collection of Dr. George and Vivian Dean." The film, available as a DVD, BluRay and digital download, features 25 of the world's greatest chess sets from the spectacular collection of Dr. George Dean, Founder and President Emeritus of Chess Collectors International, and his wife Vivian. The project was produced for Prairie Media by Jeffrey M. Jones, Pamela Conn, Lawrence Marshall and Lawrence Trinkaus.

Chess Masterworks is presented in an innovative format, with twenty-five mini-documentaries each highlighting one set from the collection. And the sets are seen as never before -- in stunning high definition cinematography. "The close-up beauty of the sets moving on the screen is truly enthralling," explains Jones. "And hearing the history behind each set completes the experience for the viewer."

The film features on-camera narration by Susan Polgar, the world's first female grandmaster; Sarah Coffin, curator of the Smithsonian Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum; Graham Beal, Director of the Detroit Institute of Arts; and the collectors themselves, Dr. George and Vivian Dean. This diverse mix of players, art historians, and collectors brings insight on both the artistic, historical, and even practical merit of the sets.

For decades, Dr. and Mrs. Dean have traveled the globe acquiring many of the most historically important, valuable and sought-after chess sets in existence. The Deans' collection was the subject of an exhibition on fine chess sets at the Detroit Institute of Arts in 2009. "The Deans really picked out the jewels from each culture and historical time," commented Grandmaster Polgar.

Spanning five centuries and four continents, the sets featured in Chess Masterworks are miniature works of art masterfully fashioned from materials like ivory, amber, jade, porcelain and glass, often laden with precious and semi-precious jewels.

Included are the celebrated Fabergé set and board, listed by Chess.com as "the most valuable chess set in the world." The set was commissioned as a gift from Tsar Nicholas to Russian General Kouropatkin as a consolation gift after losing the war in Manchuria. Also included are an 18th Century Murano blown glass set, a 19th Century Moroccan set and board embroidered with spun silk and gold lace, and sets by modern masters Salvador Dali and Man Ray.

Chess Masterworks is available for purchase at Amazon.com, Google Play and Apple/iTunes, as a DVD, BluRay and digital download. Details are available at www.chessmasterworks.com.

Roswell NM -- Precious Metal Processors, a company that has produced gold, silver, platinum, and palladium since 1997, has launched a crowd funding project to upgrade to an eco-friendly plasma processing machine that will increase productivity by at least 50%.

Contributors to the fund will receive compensation in gold. The company plans to raise $55,000 and purchase the machine by July 15, 2013. Estimated delivery of gold is October 2013, with perks doubled for donations made by July 19. Additional compensation is offered to contributors who spread the word.

The machine, which meets EPA guidelines to protect the environment, sifts through dirt and tailings and attracts tiny gold particles to one another, vibrating them into a solid nugget.
