AUSTIN, Texas - Viva Benefits, which was co-founded by former Rio Grande Valley teacher Michael Barnes, has announced a $2.2 million pre-seed fundraising round led by Chingona Ventures. Viva Benefits is a network of affordable housing partners that helps renters access essential benefits like health, education, and financial wellness.  Chingona's motto is: Investing in the founders of tomorrow at the beginning stages of today. Samara Hernandez, founding partner at Chingona Ventures, said the new funding will accelerate Viva's mission to make renter benefits mainstream and help bridge the 40X wealth equity gap between renters and homeowners. “We are excited to invest in Viva because the founding team understands the real estate and property technology market and Viva has a clear path to scale,” said Samara Hernandez, founding partner at Chingona Ventures. With the cash infusion, Hernandez has become a member of Viva's board of directors. While Chingona has led the fundraising effort, additional investors include Graham & Walker, Techstars Ventures, Altari Ventures, Everywhere Ventures, Vitalize Angels, and Atlanta Technology Angels. Notable angel investors including PadSplit CEO Atticus LeBlanc, and Bob Simpson, founder of the Multifamily Impact Council.  In an interview with the Rio Grande Guardian, Barnes, Viva's CEO co-founder, said the median net wealth for a renter is approximately $10,000. He said this compares to $400,000 for the median homeowner. “This is primarily due to home equity. Viva addresses the 40X disparity by empowering housing partners to offer life-changing renter benefits,” said Barnes, a former classroom teacher turned software engineer.“We are ready to help make renter benefits as commonplace as employer benefits, and for our housing partners to reap the same rewards employers do – from increased retention to reduced expenses.” Barnes explained that Viva enables renters — including primarily diverse, low- to middle-income families — to access essential benefits such as health, education, and financial wellness. He gave examples such as telehealth, virtual tutoring for kids, cash back in a high-yield savings account, and pre-qualification for grants to buy a home. “This helps renters to stay healthy and happily employed, so they can pay their rent, maintain a stable home, and build wealth to make forward progress on their personal goals, like homeownership.”Editor's Note: Go to the Rio Grande Guardian website to read the full story,Go to www.riograndeguardian.com to read the latest border news stories and watch the latest news videos.

Healthcare access is not equal across all countries around the world. Pediatric orthopedic surgeon Dr. Brian Scannell is actively working to address this issue. Recently, he resumed his passion for medical missions, embarking on a journey to provide essential care to underserved communities. In this episode of the Prosperous Doc Podcast, as Dr. Scannell joins host Shane Tenny, CFP®, to share his experiences and insights, offering inspiration for those considering similar humanitarian endeavors. Project Perfect World started in the late 80s with the refurbishment of a medical clinic in Ecuador. Dr. Scannell began volunteering with the group around 2010. At that time, the project's focus was shifting toward pediatric orthopedics. Now the group organizes twice-yearly missions to the area, providing medical care each spring and fall.“Anytime you're doing mission work, I think of going in and making sure that local surgeons and physicians are involved, making sure that there's good communication, making sure that there is good follow-up for those patients,” Dr. Scannell says. “So it's never something that you go in and you do these big surgeries, and then you're just gone.” The trips have been profoundly fulfilling for Dr. Scannell, both in terms of fighting burnout, reigniting his passion for the profession, and building long-term friendships with the other doctors who travel with him.

BRING BACK THE WHISTLE DOG, 18min., Canada Directed by Bob Simpson Fast food menu items come and go, but none have ignited lasting passion quite like Canadian restaurant chain A&W's Whistle Dog. This “hot dogumentary” profiles diehard fans fighting the good fight to bring back the iconic dog. Get to know the filmmaker: Most of the team that worked on this film works at Rethink, A&W's ad agency, and the Whistle Dog has always held a place in our hearts. This documentary came out of our own curiosity about it, the quirky name, the fact it's an oddball item at a burger chain, and, most of all, the cult-like passion behind it. When we found out A&W was bringing it back, the initial plan was to show up at a bunch of diehard fans' homes and surprise them with Whistle Dogs, then use the best of these surprises for a TV spot. But it quickly dawned on us that dragging a film crew across the country just for a couple minutes at each stop seemed like such a waste. We had cameras, we had crew, we had super passionate fans—we had to do more with this. Our art director Ashley blurted out, “We should do a documentary!” We just laughed. A documentary! About the Whistle Dog! How ridiculous! But then we started talking about it and realized, no, there really was a story here. Let's do it!

While voters were casting their ballots in the 1972 presidential election, Native demonstrators had taken over the Bureau of Indian Affairs building in Washington, DC, barricading themselves in with office furniture and preparing to fight with makeshift weapons. The occupation marked the finale of a cross-country caravan, the Trail of Broken Treaties, and the activists were demanding the consideration of their Twenty-Point Position Paper, which called for a restoration of Indigenous rights and recognition of Native American sovereignty. Joining me to help us understand the 1972 occupation and to discuss the larger story of native presence and activism in DC is Dr. Elizabeth Rule, author of Indigenous DC: Native Peoples and the Nation's Capital and Founder of the Guide to Indigenous Lands Project.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, in 2021, 34% of adults aged 15 and older had never been married. And nearly one-third of single adult men live with a parent. In fact, if you read this article in TIME magazine, you'll discover that “marriage is becoming an increasingly elite institution – people get married for economic advantages.” Married? It's very rare for a married couple to die on the same day, meaning, one of them will be single later in life managing day-to-day finances alone. Join us today as we switch the conversation from couples to singles. Our guest, Bob Simpson from the Social Security Office, will share some valuable information for those making decisions about Social Security alone.

The Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale was developed in 1969 by Herbert Saffir and Bob Simpson and introduced to the public in 1973. Saffir developed the initial scale when he realized there was no simple scale for describing the effects of hurricanes. He devised a 1-5 scale based on the wind speeds of a storm and the expected damage to structures. Simpson collaborated and added on storm surge and pressure. The National Hurricane Center (NHC) eliminated the components of pressure and storm surge in 2009, transforming it into a pure wind scale known as the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. Athena Masson and William Gough think they have a better way to classify hurricanes in the Atlantic Ocean and they call it the Masson-Gough Hurricane Scale. Their method combines previous components such as wind, barometric pressure, and storm surge as well as new potential elements that will measure an approaching tropical cyclone: size, precipitation, forward speed, and extratropical transition.

Introduction: I have with me today Mr Bob Simpson, a leader of business improvement and cultures of excellence across a wide range of industries. Bob is currently a Defence Business Advisor in Australia, helping suppliers of defence improve and grow. Bob has lead a career focused on helping people at all levels of organisations, find purpose, build teamwork and culture and improve to create a better future for themselves and others. Summary Bob Simpson during this episode explores his background growing up in many country towns throughout Australia and how this influenced his approach to leadership and inspiring others to achieve greatness. Bob talks about his involvement with the Bushmaster military vehicle at Australia Defence Industries (ADI) and some of the amazing outcomes this purpose lead vehicle has achieved. Bob talks about some of the early challenges working within ADI and how he went about turning a highly disgruntled unionised site into an engaged, purpose lead improving team. Bob outlines similar stories across his time working within food processing, furniture manufacturing and other industries. He highlights the importance to treating everyone with respect, placing yourself in others shoes and engaging them to bring out their best. Bob is now taking this approach for the Australian Defence Industry, helping to develop cultures of continuous improvement within defence suppliers to create a better future. LinksBob can be reached through his LinkedIn accountlinkedin.com/in/bob-simpson-7a357022Phone ·       0417776022 (Mobile)Email: bobsimmo@bigpond.comQuotes1. Well, it It took an event where even before the vehicle was formally introduced into the service, the conflict in East Timor case came along, and there was a need for that vehicle type. So two vehicles were sent to each team or to assist with the operations over there. And following up from that the the people that use that in the armed services were absolutely ecstatic about about its performance. And that was the start of a total turnaround and general acceptance of the vehicle with the defense forces.2. The just cause that we chose wasn't hey, we're making a great vehicle to get people aligned. It was hey, we're saving lives. And that has ensued to the present day. 3. So my life has been characterized by this constant change, which of course, I thought was normal. And the country towns, everybody is so friendly and accepting and you just think that's the way things are. So that's what I took to the workplace. 4. So when it wasn't that that way well... When I eventually took over some leadership roles, and there was this adversarial context to that, that really surprised me but my openness and willing to support helped us overcome that. 5. But basically, if someone does something wrong, it's understanding why. Try to support them to go from where they're at to where you want them to be. Pass some responsibility on to say, well, what are you going to do about it? And by the way, if you do that, we'll help you just along the way. 

Bob Simpson, District Manager of the Traverse City Social Security Administrative office, wants to be clear: “There are NO secrets when it comes to Social Security despite what the headlines say.” After 35 years on the job, one would think he’d would know a thing or two about that.

He will also give you the ins and outs of some more complex issues related to collecting Social Security and how to avoid scams. Remember, the Social Security office is there to provide you with options, not give you advice.

You Asked, We Answered! Transcript of the podcast Hurricane season hits the Atlantic from June to November every year. Hurricanes that hit the United States form in the Caribbean or the Atlantic Ocean. Many people are familiar with hurricanes and may know them as typhoons or cyclones depending on where they live in the world. Most people know they are bad storms and cause a lot of damage but do they really know how a hurricane is formed? My name is Alyssa Abbonizio and I am a junior at Penn State Brandywine. In this podcast, I will explain how a hurricane is formed, how it’s categorized, and I’ll use examples of the worst hurricanes the United States has seen recently to help you understand how they work. A hurricane is created when a disturbance forms in the atmosphere that becomes an area of low pressure [1]. Winds coming from areas of high pressure make there way to the center of the hurricane. In order for a hurricane to form, the water needs to be warm. The oceans warmth and moisture provides energy that makes the warm air in the center of the storm rise. As it condenses in the atmosphere, a thunderstorm is created. This can lead to a tropical depression, which turns into a tropical storm, then eventually a hurricane. Heat is produced as the rising air in the center condenses forcing it to rise faster. The air is pushed out of the top of the storm and more air has to come in at the surface to take the previous airs place. To make this clearer, let’s picture a chimney with smoke coming out of the top of it, that’s what a hurricane looks like when the air is being pushed out of the top. An interesting thing about hurricanes is that they always travel counterclockwise [1]. When low atmospheric pressure forms, wind begins to blow toward the center of the storm near the surface. While this is happening, Earth is rotating under the atmosphere. Earth’s spin causes a deflection of the wind to the right in the Northern Hemisphere. You may know this is called the Coriolis effect and because of this, all storms rotate counterclockwise. To visualize this, picture a record album spinning on a turntable and draw a line from the edge of the record to the center as the records spinning. You’ll notice the line will be curved, as your motion is straight. As the fuel supply cools, the hurricane loses strength. The eye of the hurricane forms at the center of the storm. The surface pressure is a minimum value at the center of the storms rotation [2]. The severe rotation of the air causes air to evacuate from the center of the storm. The eye of a hurricane is often described as a stadium effect. If you fill a glass of water and stir the water forcefully, you’ll see the water level in the middle fall. Because the mass is being moved from the center, it moves toward the edges. This is what the center of the eye looks like in a hurricane. Once the hurricane weakens, the eye breaks down. To make the predicted hazards of looming hurricanes clearer to emergency managers, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s hurricane forecasters use a disaster-potential scale, which assigns storms to five categories [3]. It’s used to give an estimate of the potential property damage and flooding expected with a hurricane. The scale was created by Herbert Saffir, a consulting engineer and Dr. Bob Simpson, who was the director of the National Hurricane Center, in 1969. The World Meteorological Organization was doing a report on structural damage due to windstorms and Dr. Simpson added information about hurricanes in each category. A Category Five is the largest and most dangerous category a hurricane can be and is considered catastrophic [4]. They have wind speeds of over 157 miles per hour and a surge of more than 5.5 meters above normal water levels. The scale also considers the amount of damage the storm can do and that is taken into consideration when categorizing a hurricane. A category 4 is the second highest category labeled extreme and has wind speeds of 130 to 156 miles per hour and a storm surge of 13-18 feet [5]. A Category 3 has wind speeds of 111 to 129 miles per hour and is considered extensive with a storm surge of 9 to 12 feet. A category 2 hurricane is moderate with wind speeds of 96 to 110 miles per hour with a 6 to 8 foot storm surge. A category one is minimal and has wind speeds of 74-95 miles per hour. The storm surge is 4 to 5 feet. Once a storm hits 74 miles per hour, it’s considered a hurricane. Most recently, Hurricane Matthew hit the United States in early October.  It developed in the Atlantic Ocean and traveled through the Caribbean before landing in Florida. It wreaked havoc in Florida and then traveled up the east coast into the Carolinas and caused damage there as well. It was a category 4 and had wind speeds of 135 mph [6]. In 2005, Hurricane Katrina ripped through New Orleans, Louisiana destroying everything in its path. It was classified as a Category Five hurricane as it used warm air and convection to become a dangerous hurricane [4]. The winds exceeded 175 miles per hour and Katrina is still considered one of the worst hurricanes to ever hit the United States. That is all on how a hurricane develops. I hope the visuals I described help you picture what a hurricane looks like and helps you understand how they work. Again, my name is Alyssa Abbonizio and I hope you found this podcast enjoyable.   (This audio file was recorded by Alyssa Abbonizio, undergraduate student, Penn State Brandywine, on November 6, 2016.
