Take the PLANETXXI Challenge: Create the Eco City of the Future

CHICAGO, Ill. -- As we zoom into the future in 2021, we see first-hand that the universe is filled with limitless opportunities. Space greats are busy with plans to build Mars City, creating orbital sci-fi habitats in space and adding finishing touches on luxury spaceships for galactic-go-getters. There's a real competition in the "race for space," and Sandra Snowden, aka Celestina, Ambassador PLANETXXI, has just entered the race with plans of her own to create The Eco City of the Future on PLANETXXI. And, now she's inviting a new generation of futurists and visionaries of all ages to compete.

Celestina's newly-launched website, http://www.planetxxitv.com/, encourages futurists to sign on as virtual cybernauts who can then travel into cyberspace to the planet's space station in CyberCity. Through virtual events, and cyber connections, they can design the blueprint and masterplan for their future on PLANETXXI.

Located in the Goldilocks Galaxy, PLANETXXI is an exoplanet in the Circumstellar Habitable Zone (CHZ). It's a planet of peace and positivity and a place where dreams for the future can come true. It's also Earth's mirror planet.

"Exoplanets are real," Celestina says. "NASA's first exoplanet was discovered in 1995 and a recent study at the Carl Sager Institute revealed that exoplanets have the best odds for extraterrestrial life to exist."

Celestina believes that this is the ideal time in history for people to ignite their cosmic powers and create the Eco City of the Future on PLANETXXI.

"Space is the new frontier and if we work together as space pioneers in the 21st century, nothing is impossible," she says.

So, while many on Earth are having to stay safe at home, futurists and visionaries can join forces and unleash their imagination and innovations through video and share them with the world to see.

For 20 years, humanity has found discovery and lived-in space at the International Space Station (ISS), so the sky has no limits.

"I also agree with scientists that Earth may even cease to exist by 2100 unless there are immediate changes to its unhealthy environment," Celestina adds.

The PLANETXXI website includes Celestina's Celestial Greeting and Welcome to the Future, Think Tank of Tomorrow, Vision Quest for Futurists and the Cyber Challenge: Create the Eco City of the Future on PLANETXXI. In addition, her upcoming YouTube PLANETXXI TV Show, Show Celestina Live From PLANETXXI, will feature weekly futurists and visionaries who will discuss how people can build a whole new, eco-friendly world.

Schools are also invited to join and be part of PLANETXXI Cyber Schools of the Future, and Club PLANETXXI. Cosmic Kids of the Future will introduce Cyber Pal cartoon characters to inspire kids, and even invite them to fly on Star Rider through the galaxy and reach for the stars. The website is in compliance with COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act.)

"Time to fasten your seatbelts. We are ready to launch," Celestina says. "What role will you play in our future?"

Celestina is available for interviews from CyberCity, her orbital space station and communications center at Celestina@PLANETXXI.com or (312)953-3108.

Aaron Ozee Considers Eight Figure Acquisition Offer for Regulus Literary Empire

CHICAGO, Ill. -- Aaron Ozee, celebrity author of the bestselling children's book, "Regulus" (ISBN: 978-1387010790), and revered director of the "Regulus" movie, has received an eight-figure acquisition offer from a private investment group for the literary empire constructed around his infamous rat king character.

Ozee started developing the story that became "Regulus" halfway through 2017 while attending the College of DuPage within the first years of his college education and launched what became an international phenomenon with the largest self-publishing house in the world, Lulu Press Inc, that very summer on July 23, 2017. Little did Ozee know what his creation would spawn during the years that followed, but what transpired escalated his work, and his name, into legend.

Once "Regulus" hit bookshelves worldwide, it was only two weeks later that Amazon, being the largest bookseller on Earth, ranked this lauded tale as the #1 New Release for Children's Books. Media across the United States, and soon the world, spoke about Ozee with such high regard as the skies made way for something that only few authors have experienced in their lifetimes.

Original artwork, folk songs, street murals, branded merchandise, sculptures, video games, plush toys, and even face masks for the COVID-19 pandemic were produced by numerous creators and partnered sources in admiration for "Regulus". Ozee sent copies of his marvel of a book to many prominent world leaders such as Justin Trudeau, Angela Merkel, and Emmanuel Macron. To his surprise, Ozee was delighted with personal responses from each congratulating him on what the fruits of his labor meant for the future of youth everywhere.

Ozee has collaborated with prominent restaurant chains and popular consumer brands such as Epic Burger, Jarritos, City Barbecue, Crystal Geyser Spring Water, Eli's Cheesecake, and Lou Malnati's Pizza glorifying the relationship between "Regulus" and his treasure hoard of cheese. Ozee has amassed millions of subscribers and followers on his social media and digital profiles through forming associations with innumerable artistic connoisseurs across the Internet.

Ozee even went as far as to send a physical copy of his cherished fable into space making it the First American Children's Book and First Self-Published Book Sent Into Space. Ozee continued this unorthodox campaign upon sending "Regulus" to several rare locations such as Mt. Everest, Chernobyl, North Korean DMZ, Bermuda Triangle, and the Galapagos Islands.

It was not much long after that Ozee sold the "Regulus" film rights to Bizarros Studio for adaptation into a stop motion animated picture that debuted exclusively on Amazon Prime in March 2020.

Celebrated actors, musicians, influencers, athletes, comedians, motivational speakers, and even political candidates respected in most family households continue to endorse "Regulus" as Ozee aims to make his dreams come true. One uncommon fact is that Ozee is only 24 years old and is on the brink of making history in the realm of the written universe.

"This has to be the proudest moment for my career. The world must understand this is not the end of a long journey but is a beautiful start to something exceptionally special," remarked Ozee during this announcement.

For those wanting to purchase a copy of the "Regulus" (ISBN: 978-1387010790) book, please visit https://www.aaronozee.com.

For those wanting to stream the Regulus movie on Amazon Prime, you will need to register for your membership or visit https://www.regulusmovie.com.

"We're sending copies to Congress to put libraries at the forefront of the minds of lawmakers. Every donation makes a difference."

Copies of "Inspiring Library Stories" (ISBN: 973-1732484864) are available for sale through Hinchas Press, a Los Angeles-based micropress that publishes zines, poetry, poetry in translation, and library science non-fiction. Hinchas Press supports social justice initiatives, and advocates for bilingual literacy endeavors, especially along portions of the Americas that are monolingual. 30% of proceeds from "Inspiring Library Stories" sales will be donated to support libraries in the United States.

LeadingIT Teams Up with Extra Life to Raise Money for Sick Children

CHICAGO, Ill. -- LeadingIT, a Chicagoland technology and cybersecurity support company, has teamed up with Extra Life to raise money for hospitals that treat sick or injured children.

Each year, the IT company's team sets their fundraising goals and invites sponsors and donors to help them hit their targets as they participate in marathon gaming sessions organized by Extra Life. This year, the LeadingIT team has already surpassed its goal of contributing $1,000, raising an impressive $2,285 after a strong start to 2020.

Since its launch in 2008, the Extra Life nonprofit has raised more than $70 million for sick and injured children. Extra Life lets gamers who would typically play on their own come together to have fun at an Extra Life United event or smaller events held by Guilds, with giant live stream marathons.

At the same time, Extra Life helps people become more aware of the critical issues that the Children's Miracle Network is doing and offers them the chance to raise the money that their local children's hospital needs.

The donations made by gamers on the platform stay local and provide funding for healthcare services, research, pediatric medical equipment, and essential treatments that member hospitals need.

Today, Extra Life's most important initiative is a COVID-19 Impact Fund that aims to help hospitals caring for affected children to close the gap between their existing resources and what they need, and LeadingIT is honored to involved and an active participant in the cause.

LeadingIT's Community Involvement

LeadingIT's involvement in Extra Life supports their core value of community and the need to give back. The company considers themselves an extension of their clients and is honored to promote and support their community.

CHICAGO, Ill. -- Aaron Ozee, celebrity author of the bestselling children's book, "Regulus" (ISBN: 978-1387010790), and esteemed director of the "Regulus" movie, has partnered with Vistaprint to launch a collection of masks which feature his infamous rat king character to protect families during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Ozee searched for vendors that could execute his vision for launching a collection of Regulus masks, but few proved worthy to handle such a task. However, when Ozee learned Vistaprint began printing face masks, he was convinced they were the right partner. Not just because the safety and quality measures they use when making them, but they donate a percentage of each order placed to local communities that have been devastated by the Coronavirus.

Ozee designed the collection of Regulus masks to be affordable to families who are confronting financial hardship. Each mask has considerable breathing room, can be washed using hand soap or various cleaning solutions for reuse, are equipped with a changeable filter, and come vacuum sealed with factory timestamps for enhanced security during shipping.

"We never expected this pandemic would change the way people live. Disasters of any kind are often unpredictable, but as humans we are strong enough to push through anything. Entertaining families during this harsh period of history with this global phenomenon of a character has been a gift from the heavens but ensuring the safety of my fans has never been more important. Masks are the key to defeating this horrible virus, and if we equally follow best practices, as directed by credible authorities, we shall prevail," said Ozee during the release of this announcement.

An unprecedented grouping of legendary actors, musicians, comics, political leaders, authors, film makers, athletes, and motivational speakers have expressed support. Names such as Tony Hawk, Akon, Drake Bell, Sean Astin, and Paula Deen rank among those who love "Regulus."

LeadingIT Celebrates 10 Years of Service in Chicagoland

CHICAGO, Ill. -- LeadingIT, a friendly technology and cybersecurity support firm, started with no clients and zero dollars. For the first 8-10 months, Stephen Taylor, our CEO, worked on reaching out to as many people as possible, offering and telling them what he could do. The few who saw value in our offerings signed up as clients. With sheer determination and dedication, he spent the first year trying to build the business.

Our official start date was October 15, 2010, and we have experienced steady growth since our establishment. Currently, we serve 2,800 end users from our 90 regular clients. Stephen Taylor currently relies on his team to enable and empower him to do more. With our 10th anniversary coming up on October 15, 2020, we look at the steps we've taken in service delivery.

The Major Impact Factor

Looking back over the last ten years, Stephen Taylor believes that hard work and dedication have fueled much of our success. Entrepreneurs should learn how to level up themselves and get out of their comfort zone to achieve their goals. Business owners who try to manage everything in their businesses can quickly become a stumbling block to their success.

Stephen Taylor has delegated most roles and gotten out of the way, showing immense trust in his team's ability and judgment. Thanks to his team, he can focus more on the company's bigger vision as they take care of the technical roles and the daily tasks. Taking risks and doing things that challenge you can also make a difference as an entrepreneur.

National Cybersecurity Awareness Month

We're also excited to share our anniversary alongside National Cybersecurity Awareness Month (NCSAM), which is in its 17th year of existence. According to CISA.gov(*Note 1), this year's theme, "Do Your Part. #BeCyberSmart," encourages organizations to become intentional about enhancing cybersecurity. NCSAM emphasizes that individuals should take personal responsibility in protecting their cyberspace.

Company Values

LeadingIT has made considerable strides in our business operations while holding fast to company values. The core values that inform our brand include:
* We get IT done
* We foster community
* We constantly improve
* We create happy clients

Our Services

Partnering with us offers a host of benefits, including:

* Cybersecurity: Count on us to secure your organization from evolving cybersecurity threats and to help you proactively prevent data loss and ransomware. Trust us to help you maintain industry best practices and put hurdles on the path of cyberattacks.

Developing Future Leaders

LeadingIT cares about the next generation of IT professionals and offers a scholarship for IT students at McHenry Community College. The scholarship helps to create substantial career opportunities as we work to close the talent gap. Two IT students benefit from our $250 scholarship every year, one in fall and the other during spring. With these scholarship funds, students can pay for their tuition fees and buy relevant books. Interested applicants can visit the McHenry County College Foundation Scholarship Program website to apply before the set deadlines.

Giving Back to The Community

Every year, LeadingIT takes part in Extra Life (*Note 2), a nonprofit organization that collects funds for a local children's hospital. You can play games on their website, then collect and earn pledges that go to charity. Extra Life has raised over $70 million since its inception in 2008. Now, they are running the COVID-19 Impact Fund for sick and injured kids.
